Joint Statement of Korean Trade Unions on the UNFCCC COP16,
Korean trade unions demand
A fair, ambitious, and binding agreement
At the UNFCCC COP16,
29 November – 10 December 2010.
Korean trade unions are deeply aware that climate change has become an urgent and alarming global issue. In order to prevent irreversible damages of climate change, we should not continue the way we produce and consume today. Korean trade unions strongly demand and hope that a fair, ambitious and binding agreement should be reached on the post-2012 mechanism with sufficient emissions reduction targets at the COP16 in
'Climate debt' should be taken as top-priority agenda to be solved at the COP16
Korean trade unions claim that developed countries should, on the basis of the principle of 'common but differentiated responsibilities', pledge more ambitious emission reduction targets and provide developing countries with finance and technology for climate mitigation and adaptation. Especially it is unacceptable and unfair that developed countries do not commit themselves to more ambitious emission reduction targets on the pretext of a few big emitters among developing countries. Developed countries should take a first bold step and pledge ambitious targets reflecting their historical responsibilities for climate crisis. We think this is the way climate justice could begin to be realized on a global scale. Korean trade unions respect and support the spirit and agreement of 'the World People´s Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth',
Climate negotiations at the COP16 should accept 'just transition' and 'decent work' proposed by ITCU
Korean trade unions agree to and fully support ITCU positions that union representatives should be able to participate both in international climate negotiations and national social dialogue tables where crucial social agendas such as impacts of climate change and climate policies on employment and poverty are discussed. While emissions reduction policies ate expected to create green jobs, it could also lead to substantial changes in labor market and even job losses. We are fully in favor of 'just transition' and 'decent work' proposed and supported by ITCU and international trade union movement. We thus argue that workers, especially the socially and economically weak, should be protected in employment change associated with climate adaptation and mitigation policies. This principle of social protection should be applied at all levels from global arena such as the COP negotiations to national and local policy-making processes.
Watch out 'wrong' solutions based on free-market ideology and narrowly focused on technology
We are concerned that international climate negotiations at the COP16 might concentrate too much attention on the solutions we think are unacceptable. We oppose the expansion of market-based approaches to emissions reduction such as carbon trading. The effectiveness of market-based approaches is uncertain and open to wide controversy. Moreover, these approaches may be reduced to only providing a new space for profit-seeking speculative capital. We are also mindful of the pitfalls and risks of technology-focused solutions such as nuclear power and carbon capture and storage (CCS). These technological solutions are fraught with uncertainties and risks and have not proved their effectiveness in reducing emissions. They may even turn out to be a barrier to developing a new and more comprehensive approach to the 'system transition' of the whole society to a truly sustainable green one.
Korean government should pledge ambitious emissions reduction targets reflecting its share of responsibilities for climate crisis
As an industrialized country,
Korean government should support ITCU positions on climate change
As mentioned above, trade unions in
Workers and unions should be able to participate in climate policy-making processes in Korea
As a global issue, climate change will have an effect on every corner of society and nobody can possibly avoid it. At workplaces and homes workers are routinely exposed to the impacts of climate change and will encounter and experience impacts of climate policies on employment and skills, among others. Workers are thus one of the key stakeholders in climate mitigation and adaptation policies and should be included as proper and competent partners in social dialogue and discussion on climate policies. However, true to its unparalleled hostility towards trade unions, the Korean government simply would not listen to the voices of trade unions on climate change and does not even provide relevant information about key aspects of national climate policies to trade unions and the wider public. We are very concerned about this. Even for successful and effective climate policies, workers' participation and knowledge and social dialogue with trade unions are essential.
President Lee Myung-Bak! Don't even think about hosting the COP18 in 2012 before you immediately stop '

Thanksgiving is exactly a week away, and it's time to start figuring out ways to impale that unfortunate bird that will find itself the centre of attention as the festivities begin. What better way to celebrate than the Turkey Cannon, a $25 baking pan with a hollow shaft you stick up the poor turkey's ass? But before you do, fill 'er up with your favourite brewsky for a unique beer-besotted Thanksgiving treat.
That liquid boils up in there, infusing your turkey with marinated goodness while decreasing cooking time. Whatever you decide put in this auto-basting container/impaler is entirely up to you, with ideas ranging from cranberry juice, wine, herbs, various marinades, or heck, you could even put yer weed in it.

The Bruno's Supermarket on McFarland Boulevard is closing for good.
The store has begun liquidating its remaining products, and Bruno's owner Bill White said he expects the store to be closed within a few weeks.
The Bruno's Supermarket on McFarland Boulevard is closing for good.
The store has begun liquidating its remaining products, and Bruno's owner Bill White said he expects the store to be closed within a few weeks. The closing follows a very challenging few months in which White said he tried to revive the store but ran into unforeseen challenges.
He said he is still in discussions with a potential buyer of the land lease for the building and its equipment. He declined to identify the potential buyer, citing a confidentiality agreement.
The store is the last supermarket operating under the Bruno's name, and White said he expects the Bruno's Supermarket name will be retired if the sale goes through.
"I still think this is a very good location for a supermarket," he said of the store, which is just south of University Mall and across the road from Midtown Village. "We just need someone with deeper pockets than me."
The Bruno's building is about 35 years old and likely will have to be renovated, he said.
That is something that White said he was unable to do, especially after the store's refrigeration units broke this spring. Repeated efforts to repair the units failed, and the store had to discontinue carrying frozen foods and most refrigerated items. That, in turn, hurt sales and customer volume, resulting in the final downward spiral for Bruno's, a name that once was identified with an Alabama company that had more than 300 supermarkets across the Southeast, operating under different names.
During the last several months, the McFarland Bruno's permanently laid off workers and reduced its hours of operation.
White acquired the store as Bruno's Inc. last year when it emerged from its third bankruptcy since 2000. In January, the store installed the city's first in-supermarket growler station to sell tapped craft beers to take home. That helped attract customers, but the beer sales ended with the refrigeration malfunction. He said the store was doing well until the refrigeration units broke.
White said the operation of just one store made it difficult to survive once it was hit with unexpected expenses.
He noted supermarket chains with multiple stores can survive an expensive breakdown of equipment at one store because they can rely on the other stores' sales to carry them until major repairs or equipment replacement occurs. That was something he was unable to do, he said.
On Wednesday, the store posted liquidation sale signs in its front windows, indicating everything was 30 percent off the listed price.
The last few decades have been a tough time for Bruno's Inc., as the state's once-
dominant supermarket chain underwent changing owners and three bankruptcies that resulted in stores being closed or sold until only the McFarland Bruno's was left.
The McFarland store originally opened as an Albertson's supermarket in the 1980s.
Birmingham-based Bruno's Inc. later acquired it as it expanded its footprint in West Alabama.
Bruno's started as a single grocery store opened by Joe Bruno in Birmingham in 1932. Bruno and his brothers later opened more stores and larger stores in the Birmingham area. In the 1970s, the company issued stock that was publicly traded, but the Bruno family continued to manage the company.
In 1995, the New York investment firm of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts purchased the company in a leveraged buyout, but three years later it filed to reorganize Bruno's under federal bankruptcy court protection. In 2001, Bruno's emerged from the reorganization with its sale to Royal Ahold, a Dutch holding company. Four years later, Royal Ahold sold Bruno's Inc. to Lone Star Funds, a private investment group based in Texas.
Lone Star filed the second bankruptcy organization for Bruno's in 2009. More of the chain's stores were sold or closed at that time, and in 2011, the remaining stores were acquired by C&S Wholesale Grocers, a New
Hampshire-based grocery wholesaler.
C&S sold the supermarkets to a new company founded by White and members of his family in 2011, who renamed the stores Belle Foods.
In 2012, Belle Foods filed for a third reorganization. Three of the Tuscaloosa Belle Foods were acquired by
Mississippi-based Vowells supermarkets and were renamed, while White acquired the remaining Tuscaloosa store and returned it to the Bruno's Supermarket name.

Valerian tea is not just a tasty drink that can quench your thirst, it is also a useful product with a number of curative virtues. Valerian is a plant widely used in folk medicine. It is historically known to be one of nature's sedatives with anti-anxiety properties, thought to relieve insomnia and migraines since the time of Hippocrates. Here we're providing you with an amazing fact about valerian tea high and its health benefits and side effects.
Use for medicinal purposes
Valerian is used to treat insomnia and other disorders as an alternative to benzodiazepine drugs. It is a sedative that is used for nervous tension, hysteria, excitability, stress and intestinal colic or cramps.
Valerian is also traditionally used to treat abdominal pain and irritable bowel syndrome. It is often used as a transitional remedy during cessation from benzodiazepine usage.
In folk medicine, valerian is used in the form of infusions, decoctions, extracts and powders. Medical recommend infusion of valerian roots during menopause and after an illness as a general tonic.
In ancient times valerian was used as an aphrodisiac. The Egyptian queen Cleopatra ordered to scatter valerian herbs around her luxurious bed.
In the US, valerian is used in the manufacturing of essences, liqueurs, bitters. It also added as a flavor to Havana cigars and Turkish tobacco. As a spice valerian is used mainly in European countries. In England, they add fresh leaves of valerian to salads.
Some herbalists even say that you don't have to take it by mouth it's enough to breath in valerian dust to have the same effect.
Side Effects
Like any other herb, valerian and valerian tea may have counterindication. The most common side effect of valerian tea is idiosyncrasy. Valerian root tea should not be taken by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding and children under 3 years old.
It is not recommended to drink valerian tea more than 1.5 months, as it may disrupt the digestive system and cause nausea. In addition, headaches, disturbance of the cardiovascular system, anxiety are possible.
Valerian Root Tea
Today valerian root is sold as a dietary supplement in any form, however, the most convenient is tea. More on valerian tea bags and its benefits for anxiety here.
Valerian roots are the most curative part of the plant. They are harvested in August – October: dug, thoroughly washed, cured within 2-3 days and then finally dried at 40°C.
Valerian is one of the most important medicinal plants. That is why it very important to know how to make healthy and organic valerian tea recipe.
Here's our valerian root tea recipe
1 tsp valerian root (approx 2 grams)
2 tsp honey
10 cups of boiling water
How to
Fill the infusion device with valerian root. Take a pot and bring 10 cups water to boil in it. As the water boils, turn your stove off and lay it on a cold burner. Put valerian to the water. Add two spoons of honey and mix it well until dissolved. Voila!

For female patients:
Do not take bosentan if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Bosentan may harm the fetus. If you are sexually active and able to become pregnant, you should not begin taking bosentan until a pregnancy test has shown that you are not pregnant. You must use a reliable method of birth control and be tested for pregnancy every month during your treatment. Hormonal contraceptives (birth control pills, patches, rings, shots, implants, and intrauterine devices) may not work well when used with bosentan and should not be used as your only method of birth control. Talk to your doctor about birth control methods that will work for you. Call your doctor immediately if you miss a period or think that you may be pregnant while you are taking bosentan.
For male and female patients:
Bosentan may cause liver damage. Tell your doctor if you have or have ever had liver disease. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately: upset stomach, vomiting, fever, stomach pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or extreme tiredness.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order a blood test to be sure your liver is working normally before you start taking bosentan and every month during your treatment. Bosentan may damage the liver without causing symptoms. Regular blood tests are the only way to find liver damage before it becomes permanent and severe.
Bosentan is not available at retail pharmacies. Your medication will be mailed to you from a central pharmacy. This program is required to be sure that all patients who receive the medication are tested for liver damage and pregnancy. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about how you will receive your medication.
You will receive the manufacturer's patient information sheet (Medication Guide) when you begin treatment with bosentan and each time you refill the prescription. Read the information carefully each time and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. You also can obtain the Medication Guide from the FDA website: Web Site.
Talk to your doctor about the risks of taking bosentan.
Bosentan is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH, high blood pressure in the vessels that carry blood to the lungs). Bosentan may improve the ability to exercise and slow the worsening of symptoms in patients with PAH. Bosentan is in a class of medications called endothelin receptor antagonists. It works by stopping the action of endothelin, a natural substance that causes blood vessels to narrow and prevents normal blood flow in people who have PAH.
Bosentan comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken with or without food twice a day in the morning and evening. To help you remember to take bosentan, take it at around the same times every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take bosentan exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Your doctor will probably start you on a low dose of bosentan and increase your dose after 4 weeks.
Bosentan controls the symptoms of PAH but does not cure it. It may take 1-2 months or longer before you feel the full benefit of bosentan. Continue to take bosentan even if you feel well. Do not stop taking bosentan without talking to your doctor. If you suddenly stop taking bosentan, your symptoms may get worse. Your doctor may decrease your dose gradually.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before taking bosentan,
Talk to your doctor about drinking grapefruit juice while taking this medication.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Bosentan may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. The following symptoms are uncommon, but if you experience any of them or those listed in the IMPORTANT WARNING section, call your doctor immediately:
Male laboratory animals who were given medications similar to bosentan developed problems with their testicles and produced fewer sperm (male reproductive cells) than normal. It is not known if bosentan will damage the testicles or decrease the number of sperm produced in men. Talk to your doctor about the risks of taking bosentan if you would like to have children in the future.
Bosentan may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Symptoms of overdose may include:
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your doctor any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements.

Team America World Police
Pulled into the media lot this morning and was blocked off by Team USA's bus, which was surrounded by quite the police motorcade. There were probably a half-dozen police motorcycles and a handful of cop cars as well.
Joking around, I asked the security guard, "What, is Obama here today?"
With no apparent sense of humor, he looked at me blankly and replied, "No. Team USA is here." Geez, lighten up, man. I didn't REALLY think Obama was going to be at Dunedin Stadium today. He'd be in Tuscon with the White Sox anyway.
Some pregame bits: So, I guess manager Cito Gaston misspoke yesterday when he said Lyle Overbay was going to be in the starting lineup today. This morning, he said he meant to say Friday night. So no Lyle today. I know you all were on the edge of your seat. … Casey Janssen is set to make his spring debut today. Cito says he'll only throw an inning. … Someone reported somewhere that Cito said Inglett would be the starting CF on Opening Day if Vernon is out. Not true. What Cito actually said was that Inglett is the No. 1 choice behind Wells and Alex Rios. In all likelihood, Rios is in CF on Opening Day. … Word is that Wells has been held back another week in terms of when he can resume running drills. His status for Opening Day is unclear. I say he could open as the DH. He could just as easily open on the DL. … Off-day on Thursday. On Friday, the Jays have another B game. In the A game, Roy Halladay is skedded to pitch 3 innings. Also scheduled to appear in that game against the Phils, Brandon League, Brian Tallet, Jason Frasor, Jesse Carlson and Shawn Camp. … Cito often mentions today's starter, Brad Mills, first when asked about what young pitchers have impressed him this spring. Gaston said he's been not only impressed with the lefty's stuff, but also with his makeup. That will certainly be put to the test here against the US lineup.
Don't forget, you can follow my in-game updates at www.twitter.com/mlbastian.

Some people have no sense of humour at all! Hope Doc is having a good spring. Have fun down there today!
Nice to see the pitchers do well against that allstar lineup. It was a little test for Mills, Clement and Janssen and I would have to say they all plassed. The rotation might not be as doomed as everyone thinks. Still early but some positive things coming out of camp.
JB – can you summarize your feelings about camp so far? So many of these players I've never heard of, I sometimes get confused who is on what team, while I am twittering the games (which is fun for anyone who isn't doing it).
I think Obama would love to be at Dunedin Stadium more than anything right now. Who wouldn't.
I'm surprised you didn't get the "***** **** ********" speech from that security guard.
Anywho, I hope we don't have to put Inglett in center this year. Then we'd be in trouble. However, he is clearly one of the fastest players on the team.
Cito has been playing up Mills almost from the start of camp. Seems he often mentions Mills before Cecil. No question these are two intelligent lefties with stuff, control and command – what's not to like?
Any chance we see Halladay (R), Cecil (L), Litsch (R), Millis (L), Clement (R) to start the season with Richmond ready to step in, McGowan ready by June(ish) and Janssen ready when he's been lengthened out at AAA?
Keep up the good work!
What's not to like about Mills, he's mowed them down at every level he's been at so far and seems to improve at each level.
Nice to see Dopriak have a good game, it will be interesting to see if he's finally got his swing nailed and handles AAA pitching and maintains the power. If he can, we have an in house option to replace Overbay-would that ever be an early xmas present.
I hope we keep Wells out until he's solid, if we bring him back too quickly, he's going to go down again. Besides, history has shown we win more games when Wells isn't playing. Maybe there's a msessage there.
I think Purcey makes the rotation, I'm just not sure who the other two are. I'd expect if Cito is that high on Mills and Clement performs well, then Cecil might go to AAA. It's a long spring training though with 32 days left before opening day, so lots can happen yet.
One way or the other though, I'd say 3 lefty high quality prospects and 4 once Rickie gets straightened away is a nice problem to have.
Mills has been good so far, I've been pleasantly surprised by Clement as I'm sure everyone was expecting him to be the next Tomo Ohka/John Thompson, but I've always liked him. Its too early to predict the rotation but I don't understand why the brass has Purcey penciled in the #3 spot, make him earn it, Cecil and Mills look as/ more prepared than him.
Vernon's ambition is applaudable but boy does he ever have a case of the injury bug, if its this frustrating for us I can only imagine what its like for him. Hes a good played and I'm sure will turn in a great year this year.
Gotta love Travis Snider, this guy was born to hit. I'll go ahead and call his line this year out right now: .290, 22 jacks, 85 rbi's. Ceiling is wayy higher though, and I believe by June hes hitting #5 in the lineup and remains there.
Hey with A-Rod going down for 10-12 weeks, I wonder if the Yanks would be interested in Rolen?
Could we be so lucky?
Think about this trade. Halliday to the Mets for Jose Reyes and Dillon Gee.
Assuming you mean Halladay as in Doc,I think that deal isn't near enough and it's too soon to think about.Keeping the ace in the fold is important this season untill we see how the likes of Cecil,Purcey and Mills are going to develop.Even if only one of them step up this season,next year this club would have an awsome rotation for 2010 with Doc being the ace and Marcum and Mcgowan backand healthy.The earliest I would trade Doc is the trade deadline and only if someone totally overwhelmed me.

I'm on vacation this week in the Dominican Republic so I thought I'd use it to respond to all those blog posts (and comments) where people said they felt personally betrayed by American Airlines' lack of loyalty and respect to customers when they announced immediate changes to their frequent flyer program last week.
I will do that in the form of a fake open letter from American:
Dear Frequent Flyer Members:
We have been pretend saddened by the all of the recent, rather strong sentiments we've read online lately regarding the recent updates to our frequent flyer programs. We have been especially moved by all of the people who said that they felt our sudden changes betrayed them, betrayed their loyalty, and showed a complete lack of respect for our customers.
We take those charges to heart, and I would like to respond to them in this forum.
First, that is the most laughable bunch of crap I have heard in a long time. Loyalty is a two-way street, my friends. Oh, you've been loyal, you say? Hm…I've been reading the same message boards as you and when there's a mistake fare, what's the first thing someone writes? Is it, "Please – the airline has been so good to us over the years, be sure to give them a call or shoot them a note on Twitter to make sure they're aware of the error that was no doubt due to a typo keyed in by a 24-year old in the pricing department?"
What? No? That's not the response? Oh right – Everyone says, "Whatever you do, don't call the airline!" Then the threats about lawsuits start. Yes, those are our loyal customers. And at HQ we all just start whining about how terrible you customers are – "how can they treat us this way?" Actually, no we don't because we're adults and we know this is a business and we know that our customers will take advantage of us in every way that they can. That's fine – we don't whine about it, and you shouldn't either.
Second, why should we put customers first? Let's take a look at airlines in the US. Who do people complain about the most? Spirit, by far, right? Yeah – they've been profitable for what, 28 straight quarters in a row or something? How about Allegiant? You think they give a rat's ass when they cancel their twice-monthly service from Timbuktu Falls, Idaho, to Phoenix? No, they don't. Also they've been profitable pretty much for 7 or 8 years.
So why should we go out of our way to make customers happy? We shouldn't. We should tell customers what they can expect from us (basically safe transportation) then let the cash roll in. I'll blame it on my predecessors at AA, United and Delta for pretending that we offer anything beyond a safe trip. I'm not going to lie to you anymore: you'll get safe transportation, and that's it. The fact that we even have a frequent flyer program is just a bonus. You think ours sucks because we no longer allow a ridiculous domestic stopover? Great – go fly JetBlue and tell me how awesome their frequent flyer program is. Enjoy the free TV.
Third – we INVENTED THE FREQUENT FLYER PROGRAM (well, sort of…) It's ours, and we can do whatever we want. You don't like it? Oh – please, go switch to Delta. You'll find their miles to be extremely useful….on Saudi Arabian Airlines.
We at American (and if we're being honest, every other airline) give a crap about exactly one thing: getting you where you're going safely. That you're getting miles at all is only a testament to the fact that our credit card and bank partners will buy a zillion of them and hand them to you for basically doing nothing. Do you know how hard it is to actually fly 100,000 miles? That takes most of our customers more than 4 years or trips to Dallas or wherever. Or you can sign up for exactly one credit card. Who do you think we care the most about? Exactly.
The US airline industry is the healthiest it's ever been. You liked cheap fares, empty planes and available award seats? You know what that cost? That cost the livelihood of just about every airline. There used to be dozens of airlines flying around the US – there are fewer than 10 of any size. Why? Because it turns out you can't give away your seats and make money. Imagine that.
So sure – we're in a bit of a conundrum — we print miles because banks will buy them, but we don't have enough seats flying around to give the seats away like we used to. So we have to tweak that…and hoo boy, you sure don't like that.
Oh, you're so loyal to us. I have some bad news: we don't care. Go, fly Spirit. Have fun. You'll enjoy that. You want to buy cheap fares? They've got them. That'll open up seats to people who either want to fly us (why?) or have to because of corporate agreements. Oh, I should've mentioned that – we do care about our corporate customers. That is, we care about the corporations who agree to have their flyers travel on our airline. But you? No, you don't matter so much.
That's not a bad thing for you – you can fly other airlines all you want. Fly whoever is cheapest. Or whoever has live TV or wi-fi or whatever it is you're looking for. I know you're not loyal. "Whatever you do, don't call the airline" – whew, does that piss me off.
So let's stop pretending we have a healthy relationship. Treat us like you do your groceries – buy whatever brand is cheapest, and just consider any miles you get to be gravy. In return, I'll stop pretending that we offer you a 5-star hotel experience in the sky. Because we don't.
Let's hug it out.

Q. What is your position on the planned cull of badgers?
A. A scientifically robust trial of badger culling was undertaken which took nearly a decade, cost approx £50 million and the lives of 11,000 badgers.
Following careful evaluation of the results, and information from other areas, the Independent Scientific Group concluded 'badger culling can make no meaningful contribution to cattle TB control in Britain', and indeed, suggests that such action could even make things worse in some areas. Even Defra's own advisory body Natural England, has said that it has little confidence in the cull delivering the predicted benefits long term. We believe that a cull of badgers will not eradicate TB in cattle in the long term and could virtually wipe out badgers in some areas in the process.

There is a plan underway to develop bacteria that can turn the methane in natural gas into diesel fuel for transportation.
"The product that we're shooting for will have the same fuel characteristics as diesel," said principal investigator Mary Lidstrom, a University of Washington (UW) professor of chemical engineering and microbiology. "It can be used in trucks, boats, buses, cars, tractors – anything that diesel does now."
Underwater Sensors have Safety Potential
Renewable Energy Feasible in Time
Nano Solar Power Efficiency Boost
Viable Synthetic Fuels Possible
The UW engineers will work with scientists at the National Renewable Energy Lab and two industry partners. They will target the natural gas at oil fields, which often flares off as waste, as well as "stranded" natural gas reserves too small for a pipeline to be economically viable.
The team, which earned a $4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, aims to capture that natural gas and use bacteria to turn its main component, methane, into a liquid fuel for transportation.
"The goal at the end of three years is to have an integrated process that will be ready for pre-commercialization pilot testing," Lidstrom said.
The four project partners have distinct roles. First, the UW team will develop a version of the bacteria that is even better at converting methane to energy-rich fatlike molecules. Then LanzaTech, a New Zealand-based biofuels company, will develop a way to grow the new bacteria in larger quantities at high efficiency. Next the U.S. National Renewable Energy Lab in Golden, CO, will devise an efficient way to extract the energy-rich molecules from the microbe's cells. Finally, partners at Johnson Matthey, a U.K. chemical company, will use chemical catalysts to convert those molecules into diesel.
After establishing a viable method, national lab scientists will work with the industry partners to develop an economic model that predicts manufacturing costs as production scales up.
The bacterium at the center of the effort comes from an alkaline salty lake near Mongolia. Team member Marina Kalyuzhnaya, a UW research associate professor in microbiology, discovered it during her graduate studies in Russia. The microbe can survive in harsh environments, consumes methane and uses it to build cells containing energy-rich lipids. At UW, researchers have altered the microbe to grow unusually fast, making it practical for industrial applications.

A former flight attendant on Oprah Winfrey's private jet who lost her job after allegedly having sex with a pilot while the talk show diva snoozed on sleeping pills says her accusers are lying.
In a lawsuit filed Friday, Corrine Gehrle says Kirby Bumpus, who is the daughter of Winfrey's friend, Gayle King, and another flight attendant, Myron Gooch, falsely accused her of having "inappropriate intimate behavior" with the plane's pilot, Terry Pansing, during a refueling stop in June.
Gehrle denies any such activity. She and Pansing, who is married, were fired and despite passing polygraph tests, were not reinstated, the suit said.
She claims Bumpus and Gooch made the accusation in retaliation for work-related disputes.
Her complaint also claims Oprah overlooked attendance and insubordination infractions.
She's suing for more than $75,000 in damages from Gooch, Bumpus and Oprah's production company.

Defense Department to Review Military Awards Program
By Sgt. Sara Wood, USA
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22, 2006 - In an effort to provide clarity in awards standards across the military services, the Defense Department has begun a comprehensive review of military awards and decorations, a DoD official said here yesterday.
This routine review will result in revision of DoD Instruction 1348.33-M, the Manual of Military Decorations and Awards, Bill Carr, deputy undersecretary of defense for military personnel policy, said in an interview. The changing nature of warfare in the global war on terror and lessons learned over the past few years have prompted some changes to make the system work better across the military, Carr said.
"It's been about 10 years since we've reviewed our directive in a comprehensive way and, given the events of the global war on terror -- our experience operationally in that environment, there are some changes we think we can make to give greater clarity and consistency to the awards," he said.
The review will focus on several specific areas where discrepancies among the different branches of the military have come to light, Carr said.
One of these areas is the criteria for "V" devices and Purple Heart Medals, he said. In the Army, the "V" device only is awarded for valor, whereas in the other services, it can be awarded simply for a servicemember's presence in the theater of operations, he explained. When it comes to Purple Hearts, the different services have slightly different standards for level of injury, Carr said.
Another area that will be addressed in the review is the definition of the theater of operations when it comes to expeditionary medals, Carr said. The Air Force defines the theater of operations as the globe, because their pilots fly all over the world, but other services define the theater as a specific piece of ground, he said.
"The review itself really is generated by questions that arose from the services, one by one, over the past couple of years," Carr said. "Concerns have been expressed by one service about the practices of another service, and as we saw that pattern, it was pretty clear that it was now time to conduct a more comprehensive review."
A working group consisting of representatives from each service, the Joint Staff and the Institute of Heraldry will form the core of the comprehensive review effort, Carr said. There will also be a structure in place to address institutional changes that come up from the review, he said.
The review is expected to last about six months, and shortly thereafter, if the services have achieved a consensus, DoD will be able to move pretty quickly with publication of the new instruction, Carr said.
After the review, DoD will have one set of standards for awards procedures, as it does now, Carr said. Discrepancies have arisen because of language in the current standards that can be interpreted differently, he said. With this review, DoD officials hope to make the standards clearer and more objective, he said.
"There probably are ways to do that and, if we achieve it, we'll have greater consistency," he said.

Bastian by the Bay
SAN FRANCISCO — I've been drafted for All-Star week duties this season, and since the Jays were just out here playing Oakland, I'm hangin' in San Francisco over the weekend. I walked by Niketown near Union Square today and they have a huge poster on the storefront pumping the upcoming All-Star Game.
The banner has a picture of North America, which is divided up into regions based on fan loyalty. For instance, there's a shape that takes up nothern Illinois and stretches over into Iowa with the Cubs logo, with the Sox logo in a different region on the south side of Chicago, and on it goes throughout the whole country.
Then there was Canada, which was non-existent with the exception of Ontario, which was filled in and had a Jays logo stamped on it. I guess they didn't want the Jays region taking up a whole country, making it look like its fan base was larger than, say, the Yankees or Red Sox, or well, the entire U.S. for that matter.
The city is overrun with signs, posters, flags and banners selling the upcoming game. You can't walk a block in any direction without some reminder of the ASG. This will be my first time covering one, so I'm looking forward to it. Like Alex Rios, my manager voted me in to the coverage team. I'll provide updates and insights throughout the week.
But first, about those Blue Jays:
From reading the comments on the previous post, I can see many of you Jays fans are keen to GM J.P. Ricciardi's comments during a radio interview on The Fan 590 on Thursday morning. For those of you who missed the interview, here are some of Ricciardi's quotes about A.J. Burnett's latest trip to the disabled list:
"We're concerned in the sense that we need him," Ricciardi said. "And as far as going out and taking the ball, when he takes the ball he's good. We've got no complaints. Every time he's been on the mound and every time he's pitched his numbers are good. You've seen him. It's a quality arm. It's just finding a way to keep him out there.
"I don't know if it's psychological, I don't know if it's just he gets to a point he feels something and he's been so scarred by being hurt so many times that he just backs off. But I think he's going to have to get over that hump at some point and just maybe pitch through some pain or realize what the difference is between really being hurt and not being hurt."
Ricciardi went on to say that, in light of how Shaun Marcum and Dustin McGowan have been pitching, Burnett — signed to a five-year contract worth $55 million prior to last season — could potentially be moved down into the third or fourth spot in the rotation.
Personally, Ricciardi's comments about the injury possibly being "psychological" didn't surprise me. He said the same thing last year when Burnett landed on the DL twice with elbow issues. I tend to agree with the possibility that Burnett may be quicker to react when he feels something due to the sheer amount of times he's been hurt in the past (10 DL trips in nine seasons). When he feels a twinge in his arm — serious or minor — he's going to want to make sure he's OK.
Then again, you see a pitcher like Roy Halladay pitch through pain without complaint. He did so last season, pitching with an injured tendon in his arm, before Toronto decided to shut him down toward the end of the year. If the Jays hadn't shut him down, Doc might've continued to take the ball, pitching through pain in the process.
Only A.J. knows how bad his shoulder is hurting. If he says there's pain in his arm, the Blue Jays have no choice but to take him on his word and have it checked out. That's what they did and hopefully he's back before the end of the month for the rotation's sake. It's not a stretch to say that there are some on the Jays who are growing impatient with Burnett, but the club still believes he has the potential to be a key to the team's success.
I may be thousands of miles (or kilometers, or is it kilometres?) from the Rogers Centre, but I'm still privy to what's going down with the Blue Birds. Left fielder Reed Johnson was activated from the 60-day DL today and inserted in the No. 2 spot (yes, you read that right) behind Vernon Wells. Hey, Wells hinted in Oakland that he might remain the leadoff man when Reed returned…remember?
"Whenever he gets back, they can put him wherever they want to, because he's definitely a guy who has to be at the top of the lineup somewhere, whether it's one or two. We'll see when that happens."
As I forecasted in the last Jays notebook, rookie outfielder Adam Lind was sent back to Triple-A Syracuse upon Johnson's return. A similar fate likely awaits Curtis Thigpen, who has helped fill in for injured first baseman Lyle Overbay. Speaking of Lyle, he's beginning his Minor League rehab with Double-A New Hampshire today and should be back for the Boston series after the break.
Speaking of a break, there wasn't one in third baseman Troy Glaus' left foot. He fouled a pitch off his foot on Wednesday and was taken to a Bay Area hospital for X-rays. There was too much swelling to get an conclusive results, to the team re-evaluated him in Toronto. The report is that Glaus' injury isn't deemed serious, but he'll likely sit out the entire Cleveland series as a precaution. No DL, but six days of rest will certainly do him good.
There's always stuff that is said or brought up that gets tossed into the waste basket never to be heard about again, or stuffed in the bank for use at a later date. There were a few items from this recent road trip that I stored up, but never got around to using, or didn't have enough space to put in the notebook ("Space"? We're the internet, right? Yeah, I know, but our bosses still give us word count restrictions. Studies show people only scroll down so much).
Anyway, for starters, we asked Overbay to talk some about helped Wells with his approach at the plate. While on the DL, the first baseman broke down some video of Wells and told the outfielder he wasn't using the same slightly-open stance he did in 2006. Wells made a change and has hit well since. Here's what Overbay had to say:
"I just looked at Vernon and he's always been in a good spot to hit, but he was just getting jammed a lot more. His ball wasn't jumping off like it did. When in doubt, go look at tape. I was looking at his tape, and every home run that he hit, really, any ball that he hit real hard, he was kind of stepping in the bucket. You don't really want to do that, but it was kind of thinking about opening that front foot a little more to kind of get the hips going. I don't want to sound selfish, but it kind of helped me. I was kind of having that trouble, too — kind of getting beat on pitches I don't normally get beat on. He's able to see the ball better. I think it's more him finding a comfort zone. It was more that than anything. I had a lot of time on my hands."
Another change Wells made was with his bat. This year, he tried going to a 33-ounce bat, as oppsed to the 32-ounce bat he used last year. When Wells had a bout of flu like symptoms in May, he lost some weight and struggled with being weak. So, he decided last month to move back to the lighter bat, which appears to have helped, too:
"I felt good with it. I felt good in Spring Training with it and I felt good early in the year with it. Kind of around the time I got sick in May it got a little heavier for me. So I tried going back to the bat I used last year and so far, so good. I'm not strong enough. I'm a leadoff guy now. I have to get on for the big guys."
Toronto manager John Gibbons: "He's always been close. Maybe the reason he went to a lighter bat was he was missing some pitches he normally hits — just missing them. That can be the difference between fouling a ball of or squaring it up and hitting it somewhere hard. It's a constant game of adjustments. You have to do that throughout your whole career and you have to be willing to do that."
I also spent some time talking to Blue Jays pitching coach Brad Arnsberg about the decision to move Shaun Marcum from the bullpen to the rotation. The Toronto brass was mulling over either moving Marcum or reliever Casey Janssen on to the starting staff. Since picking Marcum, he's emerged as one of Toronto's top starters and Janssen has been impressive as the setup man:
"I really stated to J.P. and Gibby that I felt that Janssen was going to be the guy whose demeanor was a little more cut out for what he's doing right now — not to say he's not going to end up a starter down the road. I felt that, with what we were hurting in that eight inning spot at that time, that Marcum probably wasn't going to have the bounce back that Janssen does. Janssen's bounce back ability, the ability to maybe throw four or five times in a week peroid, I thought was going to be better than Shaun. Shaun had had such good success as a starting pitcher, so that kind of went into his corner, too. Janssen had some outstanding starts, too, but just the mode that he was in at that time, I just thought it helped both guys. I thought if we flip-flopped it, I thought we were possibly going to hurt both guys a little bit."
No argument here. Marcum said that he haflway expected his name to get the call at the time, too:
"I figured if it was between us, they probably would've gone with me, because he was doing so well down there at the time. I figured they wouldn't want to mess with him. He's been so big for us down there in the late innings. Why move him out and take our chances?"
Nobody, and I mean nobody, saw it coming when Seattle manager Mike Hargrove decided to resign on Sunday. When I strolled into Gibbons' office that morning and asked if he had hear anything about the rumor, he wasn't aware of it until I brought it up.
The surreal aspect of the whole thing was when Hargrove held his press conference before the game. Right before it began, us Toronto scribes were finishing up our pregame meeting with Gibbons. He then flipped the TV in his office on to the presser, and we asked if he wanted us to step out. Gibbons said no, so we all sat and watched Hargrove's comments together.
This doesn't sound like much of a thing, but keep in mind that earlier this season questions came up about Gibbons' job security with the Jays, and questions about that will likely continue on into the offseason. We all kept silent while Hargrove gave his emotional explanation, and Gibbons only offered an "Amen to that" when the former M's manager talked about asking for 100 percent from his players at all times. Then, we all went back to work.
Stay tuned for more…

Hey, this was a great read Jordan.
2 questions.
1) Is it me or has Doc's velocity been down this year? I remember he used to throw 94 (in years past) now he's at 90, do you think he's hurt and pitching threw some pain right now? Or is his arm just old because he works so hard.
2) You're in San Fransisco, have you made a visit to the Kwik E Mart they have out there?
And Doc just threw a pitch at 93, so maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe it's just he's throwing more 2 seamers and Cutters as opposed to 4 seamers, I don't have HD so I can't tell the difference on my TV.
Some thing is off with the DOC too many guys are hitting him right now.If Rios stays on first Thomas drives him in [hindsight] nouthing wrong with trying to steal a base.What I like about tonight is they keep on comeing back go Jays
Also Gibby did the right thing by pulling Doc.
Has anyone noticed that Hill hasn't been hitting much lately? His batting average is dropping and I can't remember the last time he hit a home run.
I think Hill is tired, he's played all but 1 game this year.
It's bound to catch up with a guy eventually.
Not a normal start from Halliday or at least not what we're used to. I hope he's ok. Nice to have Johnson back-I expect tommorrow he'll be in the leadoff role as normal.
Hill is in a bit of a slump-hopefully he comes out of it soon-we need him. And Robert you're likely right-he might just be tired.
All in all though, a good win for us, now we need to do it two more times.
As far as Doc's velocity, he tends to stay around 90-94 with his fastball these days. He digressed from being a strikeout pitcher, and tends to pitch to contact more now. And, yes, he tends to stick with more two-seamers. I was watching a Dodgers game out here last night and they were discussing how Brad Penny doesn't exert himself as much on each pitch as he used to, in terms of velocity. Some guys, Doc for instance, don't reel off that 96 mph heater unless necessary. I've seen him clock up there a handful of time this year, but on the whole he sticks with the low-90s stuff.
I just noticed that Wells is still in the leadoff spot. I am glad that Gibbons decided to keep him there for a while. As long as he continues to hit there and the jays win, that is perfectly fine with me. I know it is Johnson's first game back, but he looked just as good batting 2nd as he did batting 1st.
Well, our fate is in our hands. We are currently 8.5 games back of Detroit/Cleveland in the wild card. If we win the next two games we'll be 6.5 games back and have a legitimate shot in the second half. If we lose both we will be 10.5 back, if Detroit win both games, which pretty much ends the wild card opportunity.
To say these two games are critical is an understatement.
Lets go Blue Jays!!!
Could you ask The Blue Jays to put a hot link to the GCL Jays on this site:
or this one:
Both sites are great to get scores and stats of our minor league players. I can get box scores of the GCL on other sites but it's difficult to find stats.
I also see The Jays have two teams in the Dominican summer league. Is this a brand new league? It seems like all the players are really young. It's great to see us there.
Why leave Marcum out there until he has 7 runs against him Gibbons is a fool I think he goes to sleep on the bench.Johnson sure didn't help matters any that fly ball in the second.The Indians are making the Jays look like -IDIOTS-Wolfe belongs in -A- ball.
If Thomas can come up with two infield singles why can't the rest of the Jays hit.Bases loaded up comes Clark one out I was physically sick.Why not pinch hit Glaus move J.Mac to third and clayton to short.
Heat of the moment on Wolfe.What a lousy Sat.but things are starting to look up it's now 9-1 no shut out
Everyone's glossing over the real question. Jordan, it's kilometres. Just ignore your American dictionary in Word. It can't spell anything right.
Well it had to happen sooner or later. Marcum has been exceptional as a starter, but no one is perfect.
We'd better hope Boston beats Detroit tonight so we stay 8.5 back in the wild card.
Go Boston.
J.P. discussing Burnett, well J.P. who is the guy that signed him to a 5 year deal???? Everyone knows that Burnett spends time on the D.L., he is either damaged goods or the biggest wimp pitcher ever!!!! Blue Jays fans have another 2.5 years of Burnett and that is not good!!! In other words Burnett will be on the D.L. during that 2.5 years probably 8 times and that might be a low number!!! When Burnett's contract is up there will be another g.m. in town anyway!!!
Here's how you break out of a slump!!!
Lansing's Travis Snider entered Saturday night's game in a 4-for-33 skid at the plate. Consider the slump over. Snider went 5-for-5 and hit for the fourth cycle in Lugnuts history, leading his team to a 9-3 thrashing of the Fort Wayne Wizards at Memorial Stadium Saturday night.
Snider began his assault in the first inning as he smashed a two-run homer to right field to give the Lugnuts a 2-0 lead. It was his second homer in as many days.
Snider stepped to the plate for the second time in the third inning, where he tripled off of the left field wall to plate Scott Campbell and push the Lugnuts ahead 4-1.
Snider's next at-bat came in the fifth, where he lifted a double over the center fielder Javis Diaz's head to put him a single shy of the cycle.
He was able to complete the feat in his fourth at-bat, when he dropped a broken bat single into center field to load the bases.
Snider capped off his perfect performance in the ninth inning when he dropped another single into left field.
Overbea, in his second rehab start had a nice night with New Hampshire.
Went two for four. One of the two was a grand slam and the other a double, so he drove in 5 runs with two hits.
We could have used that bat up here today.
what a game by the jays today. towers returns to form with an amazing outing. who would have thought it? the hitting looked awful, but the outcome is all that matters, and if towers can get back on a pace like this he not only could help the club but possibly draw trade interest if the jays fall out of the race
I'd like to say I, the optimist, was one of the few who thought Towers still had it in him. Maybe it's due to him building confidence from his past few outings, but whatever it is, good for him. Keep it up.
I said it before and I'll say it again…..TOWER POWER…..But I will admit I lost faith in him to and said get rid of him and I am happy they did not.tower-1980 I'll say one thing you sure are faithful. The Jays have won Towers last four starts. No bats no win for Towers bull-****. Johnny Mac does it again **wow**
uk: Not every game has to be a slugfest where the only way to win is to hit more homers than the other team does. (Especially in the AL.) I dare say that games like today's 1-0 win are more exciting because you get to see the moves each side makes. Consider it a game of chess on a larger stage.
Jordan: In re Hargrove's firing,Mike Harrington,who is the Buffalo News' baseball columnist,reports today that he believes Hargrove when he said he was burned out(having noted it over the last 2 seasons,including during the opening series in Cleveland that got snowed out). But he notes that the resignation makes no sense-especially since(going into today)the Mariners have won 8 straight-and wonders if there's more to the resignation than that-namely,that he was fed up the players are running the show,and more specifially,Ichiro. Is there any way you can check with the Seattle media to verify this?

Reaffirming the importance of negotiation to stop the carnage in Syria, the Joint Special Representative of the United Nations and the League of Arab States reacted cautiously today to reports that an opposition leader was ready to hold talks with the Syrian Government.
"It is worthy of note. Let's see how the Government is going to respond," Lakhdar Brahimi said in an interview with the UN News Centre, in regard to reports that the head of the major opposition coalition, Moaz Al Khatib, said that he was willing to talk to representatives of the Government outside of Syria and under certain conditions.
"And let's see how the colleagues of Moaz Al Khatib are going to react," Mr. Brahimi added, noting that the opposition leader said that among the most important conditions for the talks was the freeing of 160,000 political prisoners.
More than 60,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began in early 2011. Recent months have witnessed an escalation in the conflict, which has also left more than 4 million people in need of humanitarian assistance.
Despite the failure of international efforts to bring about negotiations to stop the fighting, and whatever the result of Mr. Al Khatib's comments, Mr. Brahimi reaffirmed today the importance of talks toward a political agreement.
"Our efforts at starting negotiation have not been very successful. But the military campaigns have not been successful either in finishing the conflict. In fact, the conflict is expanding and damages inflicted on the people and the country are growing," he said.
"Nobody has said it's going to be easy," he added. "But perhaps negotiating is better than killing each other."
Yesterday, Mr. Brahimi briefed the Security Council on the latest developments and told reporters afterwards that the 15-member body must act now because Syria was being destroyed "bit by bit," with that destruction posing a threat to the entire region.
Today, he called for the Council to act in a unified manner, using the Geneva communiqué, which was issued after a meeting of the so-called Action Group for Syria last June and which lays out key steps in a process to end the violence in Syria.
Amongst other items, the communiqué called for the establishment of a transitional governing body, with full executive powers and made up by members of the present Government and the opposition and other groups, as part of agreed principles and guidelines for a Syrian-led political transition.
Mr. Brahimi said that the communiqué was still a good basis for a political solution, but it had been interpreted differently by the people who have signed it and by the five permanent members of the Security Council – China, France, Russia, United Kingdom and United States. What is needed, he stressed, is for the P5 to come to "a common understanding of what Geneva meant."
The communiqué could then be transformed into an international agreement, through, for example, a resolution of the Council to bring about the necessary negotiations.
"I think they can make the Geneva agreement operational," he said, referring to Council members. "I think they could do that if they speak in one voice."
In his remarks today, Mr. Brahimi said he does not plan on returning to Syria unless there are developments there that require his presence, commenting that otherwise he had a good team on the ground. "If I go to Syria it's because there is something that I need to do," he said.
Mr. Brahimi's remarks came as a humanitarian pledging conference for Syria chaired by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon concluded in Kuwait today, raising over $1.5 billion to assist civilians affected by the ongoing conflict over the next six months, including those taking refuge beyond Syria's borders.

A Legislative Perspective on the Kentucky General Assembly with State Representative Rick Rand
FRANKFORT – Over the last generation, Kentucky has seen a lot of success when it comes to boosting the education level of our workforce.
Since 1994, according to the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE), the number of those employed who have a bachelor's degree has jumped 80 percent, while those with a high school diploma or less has dropped by more than tenth.
That's a trend that needs to continue, because CPE estimates that, by the year 2020, more than half of Kentucky's jobs will require at least some college experience.
Earlier this year, CPE and the newly formed Kentucky Center for Education and Workforce Statistics offered separate reports that give us a much clearer picture of just how important postsecondary education is in the commonwealth.
The center's report is unique, because it marks the first time the state has tied postsecondary data to actual employment numbers. In this case, it looked at the five-year progress of those who completed their public or private postsecondary degree at a Kentucky college or university in 2006 and were still working here in 2011.
To begin with, the report found that just under two-thirds of the 2006 graduates stayed in Kentucky. Not surprisingly, most of those who lived here before going to college remained, and we picked up about a fifth of those who came to Kentucky for college and liked what they saw after they got their degree. The one area where this trend breaks downs is among those who got their doctorate in 2006. Only a third were still working in Kentucky five years later.
The report added that the leading industries for the 2006 graduates were education and health and social services. It also found that those obtaining a bachelor's degree earned about $4,000 more than those getting an associate's degree, while those with master's degrees earned $12,000 more than those with a bachelor's.
The CPE report complements these findings by taking a somewhat different look at the workforce. It showed, for example, that the starting salary for those with a four-year degree in 2011 was $44,000, which was nearly double the starting salary for high-school dropouts, who earned $24,600.
Over time, that income disparity really begins to add up. Those with a bachelor's degree will earn $879,000 more than those with just a high school diploma, assuming each has a 40-year career and one percent annual raises. Someone with a graduate degree will earn $1.34 million more than those with no college experience.
Those with less education, not surprisingly, are hit hardest when the economy is in a downturn. A Georgetown University study from last summer found that people with a high school diploma or less held 80 percent of the 7.2 million jobs lost during the last recession. Jobs for those with a bachelor's degree, on the other hand, actually increased by 187,000.
Between 2010, when the country's economic recovery began, and 2012, jobs for those with a bachelor's degree rose by two million, while those requiring only a high school education went down by another 230,000. The unemployment rate for high school graduates entering the workforce was 24 percent.
Although not tied directly to college education, another report this winter from the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives found that our libraries are proving to be as popular as ever, even in this electronic age.
Nearly 20 million books were checked out in 2012, and 1.26 million children attended programs designed for them, which was a 3.5 percent increase over 2011. There were also 4,500 computers offered free of charge, and libraries hosted 58,000 community meetings.
A few years ago, a popular slogan in state government was that "education pays." These reports underscore the importance of that – and they also show that our citizens are taking it to heart more than ever. Our goal as a state is to continue finding ways to make this process as easy and affordable as possible.
If you have any thoughts on this, please let me know. You can write to me at Room 366B, Capitol Annex, 702 Capitol Avenue, Frankfort, KY 40601.
You can also leave a message for me or for any legislator at 800-372-7181. For those with a hearing impairment, the number is 800-896-0305.
I hope to hear from you soon.

Choke Is Going Into Production!!!
This is a big one. Chuck emailed me a few days ago to give me the exclusive news that Choke is going into production on June 18th! Sam Rockwell is set to star, and first-timer Clark Gregg will be directing. A little history on Gregg: He wrote the Robert Zemeckis thriller What Lies Beneath and, as an actor, is a regular on the hit TV show The New Adventures of Old Christine. Gregg adapted Choke into screenplay form and has been championing the project for years now. God bless him and his tenacity as the film has finally been greenlit for production and Gregg will be getting his debut in the directing chair. Chuck also went on to tell me that the mom is most likely Glenn Close, Annette Benning or Juliana Moore.
Here's Gregg's IMDB page.

ORONO, Maine – UMBC women's soccer's sophomore back Amira Walcott (Beltsville, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt) scored the second goal of her career to even the score at one in the second period, but it was not enough as a late score gave Maine a 2-1 victory in the America East opener on Sunday afternoon at Alumni Field.
UMBC looked primed for overtime for the second consecutive game, as Walcott's goal in the 59th minute erased the Retrievers' first half deficit, but Maine's Alex Abrahams gathered a UMBC clearing pass and knocked home the game-winner with 3:03 remaining in regulation.
The Retrievers (5-4-2) fall for the second straight game for the first time this season, while the Black Bears (4-3-3) snap a six-game winless streak.
Maine opened up a one-goal lead with 2:08 remaining in the first half, when sophomore back Joanie L'Abbe capitalized on a free kick opportunity for her first score of the season. The Black Bears held a 6-3 advantage in shots in the period and outshot the Retrievers 14-10 overall.
Walcott saw her first opportunity to tie the contest in the 55th minute, after a Black Bears' foul allowed the sophomore back a chance for a free kick just outside of the 18 yard box. Walcott's shot curved around the defense but was knocked wide by Maine goalkeeper Lauren Swant.
Less than four minutes later, Walcott was able to get a foot on a bouncing pass from junior back Melissa Hummel (Downington, Pa./Downingtown East), as the two connected for the score for the second time this season to knot the contest at one.
UMBC continued to pick up its play early in the second half as freshman Amanda Dailey (Howell, N.J./Freehold Township/Monmouth) and sophomore Alexa Quaranta (Baltimore, Md./Perry Hall) each found themselves with a chance to give the Retrievers the lead. Dailey booted a shot off the crossbar for the second consecutive game and Quaranta followed with a breakaway opportunity, but Swant came up with one of her five saves on the afternoon to keep the game tied at one.
UMBC goalkeeper Lauren Kadet (Oakville, Ontario/St. Thomas Aquinas) finished the contest with six saves.
Game Notes
-UMBC has scored 10 of its 12 goals on the season in the second half.
-UMBC trails 1-10-1 in the all-time series against Maine.
-The Retrievers are 2-9 all-time in America East openers.
