WASILLA (AP) Former Wasilla mayor Sarah Palin said she hasn't decided to run for U.S. Senate, despite a national tax reform group's description of her as a candidate.
''My to-do list for the day didn't include filing for U.S. Senate,'' Palin told the Anchorage Daily News. ''It was out of the blue and I was real surprised. I am continuing to think about (running) but that's where I am.''
Palin burst into statewide politics last year as a surprisingly strong runner-up to Loren Leman in the Republican primary for lieutenant governor.
Later, Gov. Frank Murkowski included her on a list of Republicans he considered appointing to serve out the rest of his Senate term. Instead, Murkowski tapped his daughter, state Rep. Lisa Murkowski, for that job.
Since then, Palin has been among a handful of Republicans who've said they are considering challenging Lisa Murkowski in next year's primary.
The tax reform group, Americans for Tax Reform, apparently found Palin listed as a potential Senate candidate on a Web page, a spokesman for the group said. The group sent her a copy of its Taxpayer Protection Pledge, which opposes any increase in the federal income tax.
Palin said she signed it and returned it a few weeks ago. Earlier this week, the organization put out a press release describing her as one of many candidates who had done so.
But Palin said she didn't mean signing the pledge to suggest she has decided to run. That's still a possibility, but it might not be a realistic possibility, she said, adding that a Senate campaign likely would require her to raise millions of dollars.
Plus, she said, a number of Republicans have discouraged her from launching a campaign against Murkowski, so the party can devote all its resources to defeating Democrat Tony Knowles, the former governor who announced last month that he is running for the seat.
Former state lawmaker Johne Binkley of Fairbanks and Teamsters Local 959 boss Jerry Hood have also said they were considering challenging Lisa Murkowski in the Republican primary.
But Hood said last month he's decided not to run after all. Binkley says he won't decide until later in the year.
Palin is the chairwoman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, a position Gov. Murkowski appointed her to in February.

Another month has flown by - it doesn't feel that long since we were celebrating the New Year and now we're almost into March already! This has been yet another busy month for me, busy with placements, portfolios and trying to stay on top of what I should be learning. I've also moved on to my lastest placement, four weeks in a GP surgery which I am loving so far. And in between all of this, I've still managed to find time for watching the Six Nations and to celebrate turning twenty two. As if all of that wasn't enough, I've also been reading plenty of blog posts as a way to switch off from medicine in the evenings. I've saved my favourites from the past month ready to share here, made much easier now that Bloglovin lets me categorise my saved posts. Let me know if you check any of them out!
47 Signs You're A Medical Student on Pull Yourself Together
I just happened to spot this on Twitter and have since found a new favourite blog by Hannah. This post is so true and I think I agreed with just about every one of these things! If you're a medical student wanting reassurance that we're all having the same kind of experience, this is just what you need. And for anyone else who wants to know just what the life of medical student is like, this sums it up pretty well.
My Workout Routine ;; Pilates, Body Balance, and a Few Tips on Cider With Rosie
I've loved Rosie's blog ever since I discovered it - it's so beautifully put together and feels as homely as a website can! I've been trying to incorporate a bit more exercise into my life, but need to make it flexible and not involve costly gym classes and memberships. Rosie's post was just the inspiration I needed for a few home workouts that I can fit around my lifestyle.
Mini Lemon Drizzle Cakes with Edible Flowers on MissPond
Citrus flavours in baking is one of my favourite things, and lemon drizzle cake is probably up there in my top ten of cakes (I could never actually spend time deciding on my Top Ten cakes because I'd be there forever deliberating over it!). I've never used edible flowers in baking before, but this recipe using rose petals is something I might have to try out one day.
Bakewell Tart Pancakes on Emily's Recipes and Reviews
There's always at least a couple of food-related posts in my monthly favourites and this is another of them. With February being the month of Pancake Day (aka Shrove Tuesday), my Bloglovin feed filled up with everyone's takes on the perfect pancake toppings. I like a classic lemon and sugar, but settled for Nutella this year as I had no lemon juice in (the pitfalls of living between two places). This Bakewell Tart inspired topping sounded delicious though, and stood out from all the other recipes filling my screen. Although I didn't make Bakewell Tart pancakes this year, I was inspired to make Cherry & Almond Cupcakes instead, thanks to Emily's recipe.
Does Teetotal Really Mean Boring? on Little Fickle
Now I'm not teetotal, but I'm not a big drinker either and would much rather be hangover free the next day than totally smashed the night before. I don't usually have any problem with people being really drunk - it's a free country and they're obviously enjoying themselves, so why do others think it's ok to judge non-drinkers as 'boring'? Actually, binge-drinking rates are decreasing in young people in the UK and the number of teetotallers is rising. Perhaps people are getting more sensible - but sensible doesn't equal boring. Sammy's post was a brilliant read and definitely worth a look at, whatever you views.
I Went Technology-Free for 48 Hours... on February Girl
Joelle has such a gift when it comes to her humourous posts and this short and sweet post is another classic from her. I always like to think that I'm the kind of person who could give up technology with no problem - and then realise that I'm currently surrounded by about four electronic devices. Perhaps it's just a sign of our times, but, as Joelle found out, it's actually pretty tricky to go without our gadgets now!
These were my February Favouites, what were yours?

Del Bosque won't tinker
Vicente del Bosque has revealed that he intends to make few changes to the Spanish national team.
By Chris Burton
Last Updated: 02/07/08 4:54pm
Vicente del Bosque has revealed that he intends to make few changes to the Spanish national team.
The former Real Madrid coach is expected to be officially unveiled as the European Champions' new coach in the near future and admits that he is fortunate to be inheriting a squad which needs little work.
Spain have risen to the top of Fifa's world rankings on the back if their Euro 2008 success, the first time the nation has held such an honour.
Remaining at the top will now be the task facing Del Bosque and the veteran coach has paid tribute to the historic achievements of his predecessor Luis Aragones.
"What Luis has done is a tribute to all Spanish coaches and for that we owe him our thanks," he told AS.
"It was perfect work. Luis knew how to pick the best players and to find the perfect system for them."
Spain's attacking instincts won them many admirers during the recent tournament in Austria and Switzerland and Del Bosque would appear to have no plans to steer away from those principles.
"They played with insurmountable form and were superior to all rivals, even those who were champions of Europe and the world," he said, referring to victories over Greece and Italy.
"It's a young national team with a lot of appeal."
Del Bosque is tipped to be handed the reins up to and including the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and will be hoping to enjoy a healthier relationship with the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) than Aragones endured.
The outgoing coach has slammed the federation for pushing him out of the door and negotiating with potential replacements behind his back.
However, despite the arguments, the president of the RFEF has spoken of his gratitude at the job done by the enigmatic 69-year-old.
"I'll always say that Luis Aragones is an extraordinary national coach and that Spanish football will always be thankful to him," said Angel Maria Villar.

Having problems with your Dell Latitude D600 Notebook ?
Dell latitude D600 CPU issue
\015 I have a 1.89ghz intel pentium M 750 cpu chip in my laptop, and it will not read more than 1.40 top speed. I ran the intel ID utility and expected is 1.89ghz but it only registers 1.40ghz. The expected system bus was 533 but reported was only 400mhz. I have the latest bios for the mother board so it is not that. It is not the CPU because I pulled it out and put it in another laptop of mine and BANG it reads at 1.89ghz. Can anybody give me an idea of why the latitude is not reading the full speed? Oh and FYI, I had a 1.8ghz pentium M in the lap top before hand and it also ran at only 1.4ghz.\015
Answers :
Is Speedstep installed? This is a utility that adjust the clocking of the CPU. If it is not installed, you can download it from the Dell support site. After you install it, run it and set it to max performance when plugged in to AC power. The stepdown for battery use will slow the CPU to aboout half, but extend the battery life.
Also try running diagnostics to see if there is an error. Hold the Fn key down when you start the laptop. It will test the system and alert you to any errors.
Good luck and let me know how it turns out.

Taking a baby home on oxygen is a little bit scary, but don't worry, you'll quickly get used to it and start feeling empowered caring for your baby. What makes having a baby home on oxygen scary is that it involves a lot of monitoring, handling foreign equipment, and stepping out of your comfort zone learning medical terminology and techniques. One relief is that you'll be working weekly with your oxygen company, who can help you out on a personal basis when needed.
It's important to make sure your baby has enough oxygen, so before you're discharged from the hospital the NICU nurses spend their time training you to use a small portable oxygen tank and oximeter. This small setup is what you get to use until the oxygen company arrives with larger oxygen tanks for home use. If the nurses don't send you home with cannula tubing and face tape, be sure to ask them for it. You'll need extra. Keep in touch with your oxygen company (their numbers are typically found under the health care services or health care supplies section in the Yellow Pages) so that together you create a schedule that keeps your baby's oxygen supply plentiful. Because oxygen is flammable, the oxygen company gives you 'no open flame' signs for your door and windows to remind you and others to be cautious.
At times it can be frustrating carrying around an oxygen tank and oximeter (even if it is portable) everywhere you take your baby, but it's definitely doable and once you get the hang of it, it's not a big burden. Remember that portable tanks last from 2-6 hours (depending on how much oxygen your baby needs), so carefully plan your outings so you're not stuck without oxygen an hour from home.
Generally speaking, an infant's nasal cannula oxygen flow ranges from ¼ liter per minute down to 1/64 liter per minute. The oximeter helps you monitor how much flow your baby needs and alerts you when the blood oxygen levels are too low (typically less than 90% saturation, though some doctors recommend no less than 94%).
Take some time to experiment where it's easiest to keep the baby and their oxygen. Consider requesting longer nasal cannula tubing from your oxygen company to avoid lugging oxygen tanks all around the house.
Some babies quickly wean off oxygen while others may take a number of months or a year. Whatever your case is, you'll quickly learn to fulfill baby's extra needs and live a normal life.

Mangalore incident an act of hooliganism: BJP
Vicky Nanjappa | January 27, 2009 10:34 IST
Last Updated: January 27, 2009 18:37 IST
Bharatiya Janata Party president Rajnath Singh on Tuesday termed the attack on a group of women in a Mangalore pub, allegedly by members of the right-wing Shri Ram Sena, as 'unfortunate'.
Addressing a joint press conference with Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa, Singh said that the Karnataka government was doing everything it could to act against the perpetrators of the attack.
Singh added that stringent action has been taken against the culprits involved in the incident. Terming the incident an 'unacceptable act of hooliganism', Singh added that it was unfortunate that some people were politicising the issue and leveling charges against the BJP.
"Our political opponents and the so-called secularists suffer from an RSS-BJP phobia. They tend to level allegations without even verifying the facts," he said.
Yeddyurappa informed the mediapersons that action has been initiated against the culprits and all the guilty persons would be punished. He also distanced himself from the Shri Ram Sena, claiming the outfit had nothing to do with the Sangh Parivar.
He criticised the right-wing organisation for taking the law into their own hands and declared that such acts would not be tolerated.

Common Cause respectfully disagrees with a US District Court decision early today, dismissing its lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the Senate filibuster, and will appeal to the Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit.
It's important to note that Judge Emmet Sullivan based his ruling on questions of legal standing in the case, Common Cause et al v. Biden et al. The decision did not get to Common Cause's central claim that the 60-vote filibuster rule is an unconstitutional abuse of the Senate's power to make its own rules.
Common Cause is a nonpartisan grassroots organization dedicated to upholding the core values of American democracy.

Jason MacDonald submits Joe Doerksen with a rear naked choke at UCW 3. Photo courtesy of Team MacDonald.
Middleweights Jason MacDonald and Joe Doerksen may fight each other for the second time when the UFC ventures into Canada for the first time in history on April 19th.
The news comes from a report by RDS which quotes TKO President Stephane Patry stating that the fight will happen. We haven't been able to confirm the fight with MacDonald or our partner site, Rogers Sportsnet as of yet.
MacDonald and Doerksen met before in the main event of UCW 3: Caged Inferno in October 2005. The two went back and forth over four rounds before MacDonald was finally able to submit Doerksen with a rear naked choke with only 23 seconds left in the round.
Since then they have each gone on to win seven more bouts each. Doerksen failed at an opporunity to win the WEC middleweight belt when he was stopped by Paulo Filho this past summer and was then upset by Ed Herman at UFC 78. MacDonald is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Yushin Okami at UFC 77.
Patry also stated in the article that Patrick Cote and Sam Stout will most likely fight at the event as well pending the outcome of their upcoming fights.
Touch of gloves to our friends at MMA Junkie for the find.
Update 5:30 PM: The Fight Network has confirmed the fight with Joe Doerksen. Thanks to reader "mmaanalyst" for the heads-up.

New Yorkers Blonde Redhead are back in action with arrival of new tour dates in support of their new album, 23, on April 10th in the US and April 23rd in Europe via 4AD. The album was was recorded the Magic Shop in New York by Chris Coady, along with some help from Alan Moulder and Rich Costey.
This is their follow up to 2004's Misery Is A Butterfly, the album that gave the long-established band the most acclaim they'd ever seen. After being spotted and encouraged by Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelly, the band went on to make their self-titled debut, produced by Steve himself and released on his Smells Like Records label. From there they continued to rise, without a huge media backing, but rather by more of a word of mouth affair that built a solid fan base. Dig the underground phenom, good music just can't be kept down.
So after a number of albums and hard work, the band really started to rise with the releases of Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons, Fake Can Be Just As Good, and Misery is a Butterfly. They've been called anything from shoegazer to experimental, but labels don't really do these guys justice.

The Entertainment District—home, of course, to the Toronto International Film Festival—has gained even more celebrity cachet with the recent opening of Montecito, the brainchild of Toronto-born filmmaker Ivan Reitman and revered chef Jonathan Waxman, one of the pioneers of California cuisine. That cooking style's elegant simplicity is the basis for the 280-seat restaurant's daily menu (So-Cal is also cited in the decor, too, including two large screens that display the view from Reitman's Montecito home), but farm-fresh Canadian ingredients are the stars of the show. Anticipate such spotlight-worthy dishes as New York strip steak with roasted beets, speckled trout with yellow beans and sauce gribiche, and Waxman's signature roast chicken with salsa verde. And don't forget to indulge in the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man baked Alaska—an ode to Reitman's Ghostbusters—before the curtain falls on your feast. —Craig Moy

Ukrainian military plane shot down by rocket
Published 6:01 pm, Monday, July 14, 2014
Kiev, Ukraine --
A Ukrainian military transport plane was shot down Monday along the country's eastern border with Russia but all eight people aboard managed to bail out safely, the defense ministry said.
Separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine claimed responsibility for downing the Antonov-26, but Ukrainian officials swiftly ruled that out and blamed Russia instead. There was no immediate comment from Russia on the plane.
In the last two weeks, the government has halved the territory in eastern Ukraine held by pro-Russia separatists, who have been forced back into the cities of Luhansk and Donetsk. Many in the armed insurgency are known to be Russian nationals, but Moscow says they are simply citizens who went to fight in Ukraine on their own.

Defense Minister Valeriy Heletey said the plane was flying at an altitude of 6,500 meters (21,300 feet), which he said was too high to be reached with the weapons used by the separatists.
Ukraine's Security Council spokesman Andrei Lysenko said data from the plane's surviving crew suggested the rocket was either a surface-to-air Pantsir missile or a missile fired by a plane from Russia's Millerovo Air Force base.
In London, Charles Heyman, a defense analyst and editor of the reference book Armed Forces of the European Union, said the missile was more likely fired by the Ukrainian rebels.
"I doubt the transport plane was flying at 6,500 meters. That doesn't make sense. The higher you fly, the more it costs, and the plane would have had to be pressurized," Heyman said. "It was probably shot down using SAM-6 missiles owned by the rebels, which they have quite a few of."
Fighting intensified around Luhansk, meanwhile, as government forces stepped up efforts to disrupt rebel lines and reclaim more territory.
The Defense Ministry said Monday that government troops had retaken several villages around Luhansk -including Metalist, Oleksandrivsk, Bile and Rozkishne - and had reopened a corridor to its civilian airport. Those areas are north, west and south of the city, suggesting the government's plan to form a security cordon around Luhansk is yielding results.
A spokeswoman for the separatist Luhansk People's Republic said they destroyed a Ukrainian armed convoy in the village of Heorhiivka, killing at least three Ukrainian soldiers. It was not possible to immediately verify the claim.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday called for the resumption of talks to negotiate a cease-fire.
Ukraine's president adopted a unilateral 10-day cease-fire but abandoned it when rebels would not lay down their arms.

text: I am a huge Thai food fan (but don't know too much about authentic Thai) but recently have been inundated with too many choices for Thai food! I have tried and loved Cee Thai Fine Dining and Crystal Thai. I was not impressed with Sakoontra or Tara Thai. I have a business meeting for dinner and would like to try another place in Fairfax... either Pad Thai or Court Side Thai. Does anyone have a preference? Also, anyone know who makes the best sticky rice in the area?

Should teenagers be routinely screened by doctors for depression?
- |
Q. Should teenagers be routinely screened by doctors for depression?
A. Yes, according to a new report from the US Preventive Services Task Force - an independent panel of private-sector experts convened by the government.
The panel, whose recommendations are considered the "gold standard" for medical screening, said all 12- to 18-year-olds should fill out standard questionnaires for major depressive disorder, which can be seriously disabling and, in some cases, lead to suicide.
"We pay a lot of attention to physical health, even though the vast majority [of adolescents] are in one of the healthiest periods of life. However, we have never been very good as a nation about checking for mental and emotional problems, yet these are more likely in this age group than physical problems," said Laurie Flynn, executive director of the TeenScreen National Center for Mental Health Checkups at Columbia University. The group has set up mental health screening programs in more than 500 communities nationwide.
Dr. Michael Jellinek, chief of child psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital and the author of the Pediatric Symptom Checklist, a leading child mental health screening questionnaire, agreed the new recommendations are "good news." Ten percent of children and adolescents have emotional disorders and many never get diagnosed and treated, he said.
But he cautioned against "a number of difficulties," including potential overdiagnosis. Many teens feel temporarily sad, anxious, or hopeless because of troubles at home or school, but do not have a depressive disorder, said Jellinek.
There aren't enough psychiatrists and psychologists available to help depressed teenagers, he said, and pediatricians - who are not trained to treat depression - might be tempted to write prescriptions for antidepressants "too readily," he worried.
"We . . . don't have a good system of caring for teenagers with depression," he said.
Bob Lichtenstein, director of the school psychology program at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology, shared that concern: "While universal screening may be valuable, it is essential that there be sufficient mental health services in place to meet the needs that are uncovered."

Chapter 8 : The Night Out
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 2
Background: Font color:
"Bee?" Colton asked hesitantly.
"What?" She asked. She was in bliss, sitting here, kissing him. She couldn't imagine anything more perfect.
"I was just wondering. I really like you, and this has been great. But, I was wondering, would you be my girlfriend? Officially?"
She had been wrong before, when she though that it was perfect. Now it was perfect.
"Bloody hell Black! GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME! We only have TWO DAYS until Hufflepuff! Do I need to get Rogers in here to take your place?" James was screaming at his best mate from across the pitch. Black had missed his tenth save.
"THEY'RE GOING TO SLAUGHTER US IF YOU DON'T PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS AND SAVE A DAMN GOAL ONCE IN A WHILE!" James had flown right over to Sirius and was now yelling at a rather close proximity. I was trying not to laugh, but it was proving difficult.
I was leaning on my broom, just watching, when Shane Hall, a 6th year and one of the teams beaters, flew over to me. He was laughing under his breath, his shaggy blonde hair falling in his eyes and his bat swinging by his side.
"Wonder what's got Black's nickers in a twist today." He grinned at me.
"More like who." I replied. His grin widened at this. I smiled back but my heart wasn't in it. I may have made the comment jokingly, but I had the sneaking suspicion that having me up in the air was what was throwing Black off.
Tommy Gold, the other team beater flew over to us then. It was his first year on the team, and he was only a third year, and he looked really nervous as he approached us.
"Shane, I, er, think we should get to hitting or something. James looks pretty angry." Shane rolled his eyes at me.
"James will get over it. Calm down Gold. And learn to say pissed, you're on the quidditch team kid."
"Oh, er, sorry Shane."
"Get out of here Hall. The kids right. James will have your head when he's done barbecuing Sirius's." Shane just shrugged while Tommy looked like he might pass out.
"Whatever, catch ya in a bit Everard. You might wanna get that snitch soon though, or it'll be your head on a pike." I smirked.
"Not a chance, I'm his last hope, he can't risk pissing me off." Tommy gave a little laugh at this, and Shane looked sour. But then he waved and the pair flew off to go hit some bludgers at each other.
Sebastian Green and Isaiah Crawford, James's fellow chasers, were lounging lazily on their brooms and tossing the quaffle back and forth. James was still shouting at Sirius who looked like he might throttle his best mate in another minute.
"Oi! Potter!" I hollered as I speed down to their level. James turned his glare on me, but I just returned the look until he softened. Black looked away.
"What are you doing here, Everard. You should be snitch hunting." He snapped.
"Shove off Potter. Stop shouting at Black, it's not helping his game and you're losing the concentration of your fellow chasers. Not to mention the fact that you've managed to thoroughly terrify Gold. Now get back to captaining, and leave Black alone." He stared blankly at me for a while, but then James finally just nodded and flew off to his other chasers.
"A thank you would be nice." I said, looking at Black.
"Thanks." He grunted. I wish I had something to throw at him.
"Seriously. What the hell is your issue here?" He avoided my eyes.
"Answer me right now, I swear to God."
"You." He had finally met my gaze. But it was a cold glare. Me? I was his issue? Was he four?
"Honestly Black. Get over yourself. Just because we're not on great terms doesn't mean it should affect your game. I want to win this match, probably just as much as James does. And if you fuck it up for me because you're to busy mopping over the fact that I'm here, I will kill you. And that is not a threat, it's a promise." He gave me the middle finger. I resisted the urge to punch him in the face: I didn't want poor Tommy Gold to be more petrified of the team than he already was.
"And thus the Goblin War ensued..." Binns was droning on and on and I was getting sick of the sound of his voice. I wish I had taken my usual seat next to Remus today. But Sirius, being the git that he is stole my spot knowing it would piss me off. I would have sat net to James, but I figured I'd rather not get ten detentions. So I sat with Lily. My psychotic best mate who was vigorously taking notes.
I stared out the window for a while. But no one was down by the pitch playing Quidditch, so there wasn't much to look at. I glanced around at my fellow classmates. No one was paying attention to the lesson except Lily and some Ravenclaw boy whose name I had forgotten. Everyone else was passing notes or whispering back and forth to each other. James was asleep, with a little line of drool falling onto the parchment he had been pretending to take notes on. Remus and Sirius were trying not to make much noise despite the fact that they were playing paper football across the length of their table.
I sighed and rested my chin in my hands. Boring. This class was boring. Binns was dull. The topics were dry. And Lily wasn't helping the situation. Why couldn't she be more normal? Was it too much to ask that she entertain me for just one class? It wasn't even an important one! Who cared about the Goblin wars? No one!
I chanced a look back at Sirius and Remus. Being the mature blokes they were, they had moved from paper football to spitballing wads of paper through Binns's torso. The ghost took no notice. I had to stifle a laugh. It was a bit ridiculous.
Remus glanced at me and saw me laughing. He smiled at me and turned his attentions to me. He aimed, but I dodged the spit laden paper which, unfortunately, hit Lily instead. The red head whipped around, searching for the culprit. Remus conspicuously looked the other way and even started to whistle. Lily sent him the deadliest glare I've ever seen. I'm surprised Remus didn't collapse right there on the floor.
When Lily looked away and back to her notes, I peeked back at Sirius and Remus who were both scribbling on a piece of paper. Huh, I thought only the girls in this class passed notes. Deciding they weren't that interesting anymore, I looked out the window again.
Then I was pegged in the back of the head with a folded piece of parchment. I glanced around and noted a scowling Sirius and a smirking Remus who sent me a jovial wave. I frowned, but checked to see if Binns was looking at me before I bent down to retrieve the note.
We're sneaking into town tonight. Join? It was written in Remus's handwriting.
I don't think Black wants me there.
That sod? He doesn't count. Peter's a coward and won't be joining us. I want you there and does James and we're the only ones that matter.
Right. Well, what would this evening entail. I'm not ditching a perfectly good night of homework for nothing Lupin. You better have a right good plan.
So hung up on the details my dear Braxtany. Just agree to it.
The details are what make the whole damn thing. Of course I'm hung up on them you wanker.
Just come Everard. Or he won't leave you alone.
Black? Who asked you.
Shove off. Just jump off your high horse and come with us.
He says with a please attached. Come on Bee, it'll be fun. Bring Lily!
Miss Head Girl? Because she'll be rearing to sneak out of school at night.
So what do you say?
Say yes!
Good! Now, prod James so he doesn't get too embarrassed about how much he's drooling,
"Come on Lilers! It'll be fun!"
"Braxtany Everard! Are you honestly asking me to sneak out?"
"Yes! Lil, come on, the boys and I have done it a million times. It's fun!"
"You've done this before?"
"Er, no?"
"Braxtany! How stupid can you be? Sneaking out of school?"
"Lighten up Lily. It's our last year! Do something crazy for once in your life. Be spontaneous! Besides, James will be there." She flushed at this.
"How do you know we won't get caught?"
"I don't know that. That's half the fun!" Lily glared at me. I just grinned encouragingly back.
"Live a little Lily, it's our last year! You can put that stick right back up your ass when when we get back." She punched me in the leg.
"Slag." She muttered. "I don't put sticks anywhere they are not supposed to be."
"Sure, sure. So you'll come?" She just continued to glare. "Oh come on. I need you as a buffer! You can't leave me to fend for myself against Black."
"Remus and Potter will be there. You don't need me."
"Maybe not, but James sure does." I gave her a suggestive wink and she gave me yet another dead leg. "Damn it Lil! That hurts!"
"Good you bloody twit." She sighed. "Fine. I'll tag along. But if we get caught I'll kill you Everard." I smirked.
"Don't sweat it Evans" I leaned back and placed my feet up on the table in the library. Lily sent me a stern look and pushed my feet away from her precious books.
"Lil, that's for next week. Let's go get something to eat!"
"No. Now get out of here. I'm mad at you and your manipulating skills. You should have been a Slytherin."
"Ouch, low blow Lilers." I chuckled. "Ah well. I'll be in the common room when you decide to stop resenting me. Oh, and be back before eleven. That's when we're departing."
"Don't be stupid. Curfew is at ten. Of course I'll be back." She frowned, most likely realizing that following curfew was silly because she'd be leaving the grounds all together the same night. I smiled and waved as I walked away from my best friend. She glowered some more, then turned back to her book.
The way back to the tower was uneventful. I saw a few people I knew, and waved half heartedly as I passed them. I also found a few first and second years who seems to be terrified of me. Go figure. I grinned maliciously at them and they scattered. I was still laughing to myself as I entered the common room. I spotted the back of Remus's head, he was sitting on the couch. I smiled and flung my body over the back of it so that I was sitting next to him.
"Oi, Lupin! Fancy a walk down to the kitchens or something?" I said as I scrunched my body into the lying position, resting my head in his lap. "I'm fucking starving." I finished, looking up at him. He looked uncomfortable.
"Uh. Hey Braxtany." I frowned at the greeting.
"What's got your knickers in a twist Lupin?" His gaze shifted to the person sitting on the floor in front of him. Black.
"Hello." He said coldly. I rolled my eyes and didn't respond.
"So what d'ya say? Kitchens?"
"He's kind of busy, Everard." Black spat at me.
"Yes, but given the option, who in their right minds would want to spend time with you?" Black looked as if he was going to start yelling at me again, but Remus put his hand up to stop him.
"I'll be back Sirius." He stood up pulling me with him. I smirked at Black,
"Bloody traitor." He muttered. Remus chose to ignore him, but I flipped him off on my best friend's behalf. Remus towed my by the hand out of the common room. Once we had traveled a safe distance from the prying ears of the fat lady, Remus turned on me.
"You two need to get over yourselves. We're all going out together tonight and I'd really like it if the evening didn't result in the death of one of my friends."
"If it came down to it, do you think I could take the wanker?"
"Not the point Braxtany."
"Very much the point Remus! I won't pick a fight I know I won't win."
"In that case, Sirius would mop the floor with you." I punched him in the arm.
"Whatever. He deserves whatever I dish out." Remus looked down at his feet.
"I know he does. He told me what he said to you." He looked up, eyes pleading. I kept my gaze cold. "Bee he didn't mean it. He feels just awful. He came back to the dorm a right mess. He tried to follow you up, but that trick with the stairs." I looked away and picked up my pace as we traveled along the corridor.
"Got to love those old spells." I muttered. Remus grabbed my hand, pulling me to a halt.
"You drive him crazy Bee." He ruffled his sandy brown hair with his the hand that wasn't attached to my own, looking sheepish. "In fact, you drive a lot of people crazy." I glared.
"Thanks. Good to know." I ripped my hand from his and stalked off, muttering swears to myself.
"Braxtany!" He was keeping up with my pace. Damn. He matched my strides, but we continued in silence until we reached the kitchens.
"I'm sorry." He said as we stopped in front of the fruit bowl. My anger had worn out by that time. I could never stay angry with Remus for long. He was the only person who could melt my temper with just a smile. Remus was my achilles heal.
"It's fine." I muttered. He pulled me into a hug, which I gratefully returned.
"I punched Sirius when he told me what he said to you." I laughed against his chest, breathing him in.
"I don't like that he hurt you Bee. But you bounce back. He doesn't. He's the one hurting now, only I can't punch you for it." I squeezed my eyes shut and gritted my teeth.
"Sorry." I finally breathed. "I'll be civil to him. Tonight will be great. I promise." I could practically feel his smile.
"That's all I ask." He kissed the top of my head and gave me one last squeeze before pulling away and tickling the pear. "Now, lets get some food in you." I grinned and followed him into the kitchens, where we were promptly swarmed with house elves.
"I can't believe I'm doing this!" Lily whimpered as they made their way down the secret passage to Honeydukes.
"Shut up Lily. You can't turn back now." I hissed at her in the dark. The boys had taken the lead and Lily and I were trailing behind as I tried to convince her not to turn around and make a run for it.
"What if the barman calls the school? What if one of the professors are out tonight!"
"Stop freaking out Evans!" Sirius called to her from a little ahead of us.
"Yeah Lily, don't worry." James said reassuringly, coming to stand beside her and placing a hand on her shoulder. "Abeforth loves us. He won't tell." I could see Lily visibly relax at his touch, and I rolled my eyes. I left James to console her and went to walk with Remus and Black.
"Hey!" Remus said brightly when he noticed me next to him.
"Hi!" I smiled up at him as he draped an arm around my shoulders. "Hello Sirius." I nodded towards him. He looked a little shocked, and I pretended not to notice when Remus nodded encouragingly at him.
"Hey Bee. Looking forward to tonight?" I shrugged, being civil with Black wasn't as hard as I had thought. Sure, I still wanted to punch him in that beautiful face, but I was able to resist the urge.
"Suppose. More excited to see how Lily's gonna handle it." He laughed.
"I know what you mean. But I think Prongs will take good care of her." I smiled up at him.
"Let's hope so." We stayed like that for a second, just smiling at each other. Remus watched the whole exchange with a small smirk on his face. He gave me a reassuring squeeze.
"GET AWAY FROM ME POTTER!" Remus, Sirius and I turned around at the sound of Lily's screech. It was coming from a ways behind us. Huh, I hadn't realized they had fallen so far behind. I spotted Lily's fire red hair before anything else. She was practically sprinting away from what I only assumed would be a bemused James.
"Take me back Everard. Now. This was stupid." Her face was flushed. I figured it must be from anger. But then again, her hair was a little mussed too. She grabbed my arm and tried to pull me back towards the castle. James emerged from the shadows of the passageway to where we were all standing. He was flushed as well and the moment he came into view, Lily froze. I put two and two together, but I seemed to be the only one who did so. Remus and Sirius were glaring at their best mate.
"What did you do now you dolt?" Remus asked, crossing his arms. He gave out an almost McGonagall vibe. James shrunk at the glares of his two friends.
"Uh. Nothing. Same as always." He ruffled his hair and shot a glance at Lily, who was purposefully avoiding any eye contact with the poor bloke.
"Take care of her will you Everard. We can't stay in this damn tunnel all night." Sirius whispered in my ear. I nodded, ignoring the goose bumps that had erupted along the entirety of my body. I pulled Lily out of earshot of the guys.
"Care to explain this new, er, look?" I asked in a hushed voice, motioning to her disheveled hair and flushed face. Her face seemed to grown even redder in the light of my wand.
"I kissed him." She whispered. I just stood there. Shocked. I mean. I had gathered that there had been a heated moment based on their looks. But Lily kissing him first? Had the world gone mad?
"Oh. And er. Uhm. How did that end with you yelling at him?" She squeezed her eyes shut, as if she were trying to banish a bad memory.
"I realized that what I was doing was completely insane." She opened her eyes and gazed at me pleadingly. "I told him to leave me alone because I don't trust myself with him! Please don't make me go back there Bee. Please." I took a deep breath.
"Hun, you know I love you to death. But seriously. You need to face this! This could be something! Finally! Tonight could be good! And even if it's not? How could it possibly ruin your relationship? Seriously?"
"But Bee! I'm mortified!"
"Time to face the music Evans. Let's go!" I grabbed her by the shoulders and began to push her back to the boys.
"Fine." She snapped. "I'll go. But I won't be happy!"
"Never expected any differently."
"Let me go Braxtany. I'm a big girl I can walk."
"Maybe, but I'm not so sure you won't make a run for it." She shook me off, but continued on her way back to the boys, her arms crossed firmly across her chest.
James and Sirius were singing loudly, arms slung around each other. It was an amusing sight to watch, they were completely out of tune. Lily was giggling slightly. After some coercion I had managed to convince her to drink some fire whiskey. What a light weight, after only a little bit she was falling all over herself! I needed to whip her into shape. I would have to take her down here more. As always, Abeforth hadn't had a problem with us being there. In fact, he was standing behind the bar and laughing at our antics.
"Bee," Remus whispered in my ear as he sat down next to me, handing me a glass of water he had just gotten from the bar. I frowned.
"I recall asking for something stronger Lupin! Poor form! Bringing a lady water. Shame on you!" He laughed.
"Bee, you're the farthest thing from a lady there is. Abeforth needs us to leave in a few. It's almost 2am and he needs to close up."
"Bugger. So the Party's over?" He nodded.
"Hey, you lot. We've gotta head out, bar's closing." Remus announced to the others.
"Boo!" Sirius shouted loudly.
"Come on Lily." I said, hoisting her out of her seat. She was very limp and very giggly, and it was difficult to get her to stand. Once Remus was able to round James and Sirius up we all headed for the door. Remus never really drank, ever the responsible one, always in charge of taking care of all of us who were inebriated. But tonight I was with him. I drank a bit, but under no circumstances did I want a repeat of the last time I was under the influence.
We were staggering along the dirt path leading away from the Hog's Head when Lily turned to me, wide eyed.
"Bee! Where are we going to sleep! I can't get back to the dorm like this!" That was the edited version of her sentence. Because trust me, unless you've known the girl for as long as I have, there is no way you could have understood the sting of slurred words coming from her mouth.
"Where we always sleep Lily." I laughed at her confused expression. "The shrieking shack!" She looked petrified. But I ignored it as our small group made our way up the hill to the long ago abandoned house. We circled it until we were by the back porch, the one facing the forest so that no one would see us even if they were peering out at the creepy house at 2am.
Remus kicked the base of the door and it gave a creek that made the already shaking Lily jump and cling to James. I laughed as the boy gave her a surprised look, but took it in stride, beaming. We made our way upstairs, to the big bedroom where we always slept.
"Here Lily, you take the bed." James said as he sat her down on the moth eaten mattress. It wasn't much of a bed, by any means. The posts were all snapped, and a few looked like Remus had gnawed on them during one of his transformations. The mattress was in no better shape, and there was only a small, thin, ripped blanket on it. On the floor there were a few more blankets placed together in an attempt to make a bed.
"James," Lily slurred. "This place freaks me out. I know it's not haunted, but still." He smiled and slung an arm around her shoulder, pulling her into him as he sat next to her.
"It's safe Lil." He reassured her. Just then, without warning, Lily leaned over and kissed him. When she pulled away, James looked a little shell shocked. Then he looked at her with a big goofy grin on his face. I tuned my back to them and settled myself on the mess of blankets on the floor.
"Get a bleeding room you two." Sirius shouted as he sat down next to me. I tensed up: drunk Sirius and I do not mix well. But he simply laid down with his back to me and Remus sat down on my other side. James stayed with Lily on the bed.
I looked up at Remus who was just looking around the room before he put his wand out. He laid down as my eyes adjusted to the new light thrown through the windows by the moon and the stars. Remus and I laid facing each other and I smiled at him, and he smiled at me. He never liked staying here, it reminded him of the bad times. When he had to come here to change alone, without the help of his friends. I reached out and grabbed his hand, lacing our fingers together. He closed his eyes, but squeezed my hand in response.
"Remus?" I asked after what felt like twenty minutes.
"Mm?" He responded sleepily. I heard James snoring, and the familiar breathing of a sleeping Lily, and the steady breath from Sirius beside me.
"Nothing really. I just can't sleep." He opened one eye and peered at me. Then he untangled our hands and pulled me closer to him, wrapping his arm around my waist. I snuggled into his chest and took a deep breath of his familiar scent.
"Just try to get some shut eye. It'll be morning before you know it." He kissed the top of my head and we stayed like that for a while. He fell asleep almost instantly, but I still couldn't find rest. I must have laid comfortably in Remus's arms for about an hour before I heard a noise coming from my other side. Someone had stood up and walked towards the window.
"Sirius?" I whispered, afraid to wake Remus.
"Bee?" He asked, just as quietly. I turned myself around in Remus's arms so that I could see him. His body was just visible by the light from the window, but I could tell her was looking at me.
"Yeah, it's me. What are you doing?"
"Couldn't sleep." He paused for a moment. "Cozy?" Suddenly I felt uncomfortable in the position I was in. I detangled myself and slowly stood up to join Sirius by the window.
"How are you feeling?" I asked. He shrugged.
"I've been more sober." I smiled at him. His black hair was falling around his face, and his stormy eyes were looking right into my own. I felt my temperature rise and I quickly looked away, out the window.
"Hogsmeade looks beautiful at night, doesn't it?" He followed my gaze out to the village.
"Yeah. I like it at winter best though. First snow is my favorite."
"Mine too. Everything just gets quiet." I felt his gaze back on me, so I turned to meet it. The moonlight was hitting his face perfectly, casting it half in shadow, but illuminating part of it, giving him an otherworldly glow. He took one step closer to me. Then another, until I could feel his breath on my face. I closed my eyes as he reached up and placed his hand to my cheek.
I didn't trust myself with him. Ever since that first kiss in the kitchens I'd been acting irrationally around him. Like some stupid lovesick teenager. If he leaned in now, I don't know if I could stop him, or if if I would want him to stop.
"Bee?" He whispered, sending shivers down my body. Against my better judgement I opened my eyes and looked at him. Poor choice. His gaze hit me like a ton of bricks, taking the breath straight out of my lungs. He was so close and those stunning eyes were boring into me.
He moved his hand from my cheek to the back of my neck, as his other hand found my waist. Then, finally, Sirius leaned in, and I panicked, my heart going into overdrive. I can't kiss him! I can't want to kiss him! This wasn't me!
At the last second I leaned away. He looked at me as if I had just slapped him. I glanced away.
"I can't." I sighed. He dropped his hands and took a few steps back.
"It's fine." He said after a moment of awkward silence.
"It's fine." He repeated, turning away. I reached out and grabbed his hand.
"It's not. You were right the other night. I'm a bitch." I choked up on the last word. What was I doing? What was I saying? What was happening? But the words kept tumbling out. "I've been awful to you. Kissing you, running away, being a bitch. It's not fair of me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I've hurt you, or if you feel like I've been toying with you." I looked down at my feet.
"I'm sorry." I whispered again. Before I knew it, he had me gathered in a tight embrace. I wrapped my arms around him in return and buried my face in his chest.
"I'm just..." Afraid. That was the word. I was afraid that I was the one being played, like all those other girls. I was afraid that I was giving up on everything I had ever learned about not letting love in. I was afraid of how he made me feel. I was afraid of getting hurt, again. But instead I settled for: "confused. Really confused." I was close enough to the truth.
"Bee," He said again. I forced myself to pull away and meet his eyes. "It's fine. Really. I mean, look how long it took for James and Lily."
"I wouldn't hold your breath." I mumbled. I was too smart now to let myself get hurt. I'll never put myself in any sort of position to get my heart ripped open. Attachment and relationships were not an option.
"What?" He asked.
"The answer is always going to be that I can't Sirius." He looked hurt.
"Why?" That question was to personal. I ignored it.
"I'm just tired. I think I'm going to head back to bed. It's nearly morning." He just nodded, we both laid back down on the floor. I turned my back to him, I felt uncomfortable after what had just happened. I grabbed Remus's hand again for comfort. Finally I could hear Sirius's breathing grow even as he fell asleep.
After another fifteen minutes I felt an arm drape over me. I stiffened. But the sleeping Sirius pulled me against his chest. He was solid. Toned. Comfortable. I felt safe, like I was at home. So I let myself relax against his body. This wasn't so bad and it was harmless too. No strings attached. The warmth from his body seemed to calm me down as I felt myself slipping towards sleep.
Hey all!!! Sorry for the wait (again)! Let me know what you think!

What was the Ku Klux Klan?
- print Print
- list Cite
Your question implies that the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is no longer in existence; though it has undergone several changes over the years, the KKK still exists in America.
The Ku Klux Klan was established in the South in the first few years after the Civil War (between 1866-1870) as an organized protest against the reforms imposed by the Republican Party to give blacks voting and economic rights. The founders were a small group of Confederate soldiers, and the founding beliefs included white supremacy and white nationalism (anti-immigration).
The group used violence and intimidation against the leaders of the Republican Party, both whites and blacks. To conceal their identities, they wore white robes and masks when they gathered in an attempt to intimidate and terrify. Congress tried to restrict the racist organization with what is known as the Force Acts; while the laws were not completely successful, KKK activity receded for a time in the early 1870s; however, the group's efforts resulted in a sweeping majority of white, Democrat segregationists gaining political power across the South.
A resurgence of the KKK began in Atlanta in the 1920s with somewhat more political objectives than the earlier group. The organization was particularly violent in the South but permeated the rest of the country, as well. Cross burning became a hallmark of this group. This time the KKK especially promoted white nationalism and increased attention to the dangers of alcohol and the Catholic church. By the 1940s, the KKK again diminished, though it surged again after World War II.
In the 1950s and '60s, the KKK in the South was adamantly opposed to the Civil Rights movement and desegregation in the South, and violence erupted again.
Today there are still chapters of the KKK in America, though the number of members is purported to be fairly small. The KKK is designated a hate group by some organizations and is still known for its white supremacist, white nationalist, pro-Christianity, anti-Communist beliefs.
The headline on the top of the KKK website, however, paints a different picture. It says:
Bringing a Message of Hope and Deliverance to White Christian America! A Message of Love NOT Hate!
The organization claims to seek non-violent resolutions to the issues it promotes, which include renewing Christian principles in America. Despite this current claim, the KKK over time is known for its racist violence perpetrated by whites against blacks.
When talking about the Ku Klux Klan (better known as the KKK), we need to distinguish between two versions of it. The KKK was strong in the South during the Reconstruction era. It was strong again, but not only in the South, in the 1920s. To truly talk about the KKK, we must discuss these eras separately.
In its original incarnation, the KKK was founded in 1866. The main goal of the organization at that time was to resist Reconstruction. In order to do this, it tried to intimidate people who supported the Reconstruction governments in the South. It did this largely through violence. Many of the people whom it intimidated were African Americans and the Klan was a white supremacist organization.
After Reconstruction, the KKK largely lost its purpose in the South. However, when the 1920s came around, it returned to prominence. This time, it was less of an anti-black organization and more of an anti-immigrant and anti-modernity organization. The new KKK was in favor of "100% Americanism." It felt that traditional American values were being degraded by the new immigrants. It was especially opposed to Catholics and Jews. It also hated the new morality that gave rise to such things as the flappers. The KKK was strongly in favor of Prohibition. It was still white supremacist, but it was more concerned with opposing immigrants and people who did not hold the same traditional values as the KKK.
Thus, the KKK has had two different incarnations. First, it was an anti-black and anti-Reconstruction organization. Later, it was more concerned with preserving what it saw as Americanism and with fighting the influence of immigrants and modernity.

Gas Exporters Defend Pricing as Courts Reject Link With Oil
The world's biggest natural gas exporters vowed to defend a 40-year-old system for setting prices irrespective of court rulings that they overcharged customers.
"Rejecting the basic principles of long-term contracts means not only a blow for gas producers but also serious costs, and it would undermine energy security for consuming nations," Russian President Vladimir Putin said today in Moscow at a summit of the 13-member Gas Exporting Countries Forum that groups nations from Russia to Qatar. "The oil link is the fairest and most market-oriented" way of pricing gas.
GECF members unanimously agreed to uphold long-term gas contracts and continue to support pricing based on oil, the group said today in a statement.
Utilities are challenging contracts with producers after European market prices slumped below oil-linked contracts as the debt crisis cut demand for energy. Russia's OAO Gazprom has earmarked as much as 200 billion rubles ($6 billion) for potential rebates to European utilities this year. The estimate is higher than the 114 billion rubles set aside in 2012 and enough to meet all necessary payments, Chief Financial Officer Andrey Kruglov said June 27 in Moscow.
RWE AG (RWE), Germany's second-largest utility, said June 27 an arbitration court ruled it had paid Moscow-based Gazprom too much since May 2010 and forced the Russian state-owned export monopoly to add links to market prices in its formula.
'Tipping Point'
"This could well be the tipping point that ushers in a new commercial era for European gas," Trevor Sikorski, an analyst at Energy Aspects Ltd. in London, said June 28 by e-mail. "If so, the impact will be felt wider than Europe, with Asian customers looking longingly at European and U.S. hub prices, and seeing that commercial arbitration might be one way of lessening the burden."
Electricite de France SA, Europe's biggest power producer, in April obtained lower gas prices for its Italian unit Edison SpA through arbitration with Sonatrach of Algeria, Europe's third-biggest supplier after Russia and Norway. Qatar's Ras Laffan Liquefied Natural Gas Co. has also lost an arbitration case related to oil-linked pricing.
The RWE ruling "creates a precedent for the rest of Europe and should put an end to 40 years of oil-indexation history," Alberto Gandolfi, an analyst at UBS AG in London, said in a June 28 note. About 85 percent of the euro area's gas purchases rests on oil indexation and moving to traded prices for the fuel will save the region 12 billion euros ($15.6 billion) a year, according to the Zurich-based bank.
'Big Deal'
Gazprom may compensate RWE 1 billion euros, Der Spiegel reported yesterday. Alexey Miller, chief executive officer of the exporter, declined to comment on June 28 on commercial details of the arbitration. The ruling won't put pressure on the company's European contracts, he said.
"This goes further than Gazprom," Jonathan Stern, founder of the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, said by e-mail on June 28. "Any seller with a long term oil-linked price contract must now fear that the chances of an arbitral tribunal upholding this mechanism are severely reduced, this is a very big deal for Sonatrach as well."
Today's meeting, hosted by Putin at the Kremlin, was attended by the presidents of Bolivia, Venezuela, Iran and Equatorial Guinea. They were joined by energy ministers or representatives of other members including Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, Oman, Qatar.
Trading Jump
Global gas trade will jump 30 percent in the six years through 2018, led by soaring Australian exports and boosted by North American LNG shipments at the end of the period, according to the International Energy Agency. That will increase pressure on exporters to revise the system of linking long-term supply contracts to oil as the gap between the two fuels persists.
"As LNG trade increases, the situation on the gas market will change and it will become as global as oil trading," Putin said today. "Then maybe one may start thinking about other forms of pricing."
While most of the members spoke in favor of the oil link in gas contracts, Qatar's Energy Minister Mohammed al-Sada said pricing should also take into account interests of consumers.
Next-month U.K. gas, a European benchmark, was on average $1.75 per million British thermal units cheaper than Russian fuel at the German border in the year through May, according to Bloomberg calculations based on prices from ICE Futures Europe and the International Monetary Fund.
OPEC Analogies
The GECF, which evolved at the start of this century, said at a summit in November 2011 that they should cooperate to increase prices and boost supply. The group hasn't been as effective as the 53-year-old Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, which meets twice a year to tweak crude-oil output quotas with the aim of influencing prices.
"While the GECF countries are very important to the global gas community, more major suppliers means the ability to control price and volume is diminished," Graham Freedman, senior analyst for European gas and power at Wood Mackenzie Consultants Ltd. in London, said June 26 by e-mail. "This is similar to OPEC, where non-OPEC production, particularly from Russia and the U.S. is reducing the influence that OPEC has on oil pricing."
The GECF, which holds about 60 percent of global gas reserves, isn't aimed at forming a cartel, Putin said.
Nations outside the group are set to increase output at a faster rate than most GECF members. Australian gas production will rise 156 percent in the six years to 2018 to 141 billion cubic meters a year, making it the world's fourth-biggest supplier after the U.S., Russia and Qatar, the Paris-based IEA said June 20.
Russian Power
Meanwhile, LNG shipments from many Middle Eastern, Latin American and Asian exporters will decline, according to the IEA. Angola last month supplied its first LNG with the start of a liquefaction plant with capacity of 5.2 million tons a year.
"I think the GECF will try to consolidate its position in order to be prepared for the newcomers," Tatiana Mitrova, head of oil and gas development at the Energy Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said June 26 by e-mail.
Putin is seeking to assert the nation's influence on the global gas market by expanding exports to Asia and supporting new LNG projects. He said in February he favors partial removal of Gazprom's monopoly on exports in a bid to raise Russia's share of the LNG market.
While Russia accounts for 26 percent of cross-border pipeline trade, its LNG volumes accounted for 4.5 percent of the total market last year, according to BP Plc (BP/)'s Statistical Review.
"GECF has no power but Russia has and will continue to have a market power in gas," Thierry Bros, an analyst at Societe Generale SA in Paris, said June 26 by e-mail. "Gazprom (GAZP) is facing some challenges but also has plenty of opportunities, such as Asian gas demand."

FPLC - why is it so hard to filter my crude extract? - (Jun/28/2012 )
I've been noticing recently that I can have a VERY difficult time filtering my crude extracts.
Basically, when I express my protein(s) in E.Coli I spin them down (5000 x g) then sonicate them (add in Lyzozyme, DNAse and MgCl2) and add protease inhibitor
and then spin down for 30 minutes at 18 000 x g. This gives a pellet (discard) and a supernatant.
Before loading into the FPLC, I have to syringe filter it through an 0.22 uM (micrometer) filter before loading onto the FPLC column (to prevent blockages).
Sometimes this is EXTREMELY HARD to do with the liquid resisting. It can be very frustrating at times - some solutions I have tried have been to spin
down a second time (1 hour x 18 000 x g) or dialyze overnight in buffer or add more DNAse and leave overnight. But often this does not help.
So what is going on? This doesn't happen to every batch of purification I do.
the resistance is concentration and membrane type dependent.
higher solute concentrations will give greater resistance.
hydrophobic membranes will be very resistant regardless of concentration.

Event Overview
The Utility Wind Integration Group (UWIG) has been in the forefront of wind and solar integration and variable generation issues, opportunities and challenges for many years. This two-day workshop, with an optional virtual tour of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Energy Systems Integration Facility, planned for Friday February 24th, will answer your questions about interconnecting wind and solar plants and other distributed generation applications to electric distribution systems; and provide insight and understanding to integrating large scale renewable generation into the transmission system.
The workshop will provide an overview of wind and solar integration studies and common frequently asked questions; followed by case-study presentations on wind and solar project interconnection experiences. The workshop then moves into an introduction to the Utility Wind Integration Group's Internet-based tools designed to assess a distributed wind project's impact on the local distribution system. Training will cover the theory behind each tool and demonstrate their use with actual data.Speakers from Tri-State G&T, Xcel Energy, NREL, Western and DOE will address topics beyond the distributed system, including transmission, energy imbalance markets, power operations training, and renewable integration studies.
Also, Western's Electric Power Training Center (EPTC) instructors will be there to offer a tour of the center. Participants will have the opportunity to observe a demonstration of the EPTC's hands-on miniature power system, which includes a Wind Farm Simulator developed in partnership with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Energy's Wind and Water Power Program.
The virtual tour of NREL's Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF) will describe the facility, scheduled for opening in the fall of 2012. The ESIF will provide laboratory and office space for approximately 200 NREL researchers and support staff who will engineer, design, test, and analyze components and systems to enable economic, reliable integration of renewable electricity, fuel production, storage, and building efficiency technologies with the U.S. electricity delivery infrastructure.
The staff will conduct research to overcome challenges related to the interconnection of distributed energy systems and the integration of renewable energy technologies into the electrical grid. The ESIF will also include a state-of-the-art, high-performance computing data center that will improve and expand capabilities in modeling and simulation of renewable energy and energy-efficiency technologies and their integration into the existing energy infrastructure.

Laws Praises Owls 'Revenge'
Wednesday boss Brian Laws heaped praise on his side as they made amends for their 4-0 hammering at Layer Road earlier in the season with a comfortable victory at Hillsborough last night.
The defeat in the reverse fixture against Geraint Williams' men was the lowest point of the Owls season, ultimately resulting in Paul Sturrock losing his job the following day.
But Laws was impressed at the way his men went about 'proving a point' to the U's.
'I thought it was a good performance today. Last time they played Colchester they got a good hiding and it stuck in their throats so they wanted to prove a point,' Laws told the official SWFC site.
'There was some good football from us tonight, we got an early goal and the players seemed to take a lot on board of what we have been asking of them. It was a nice performance to take us into the top half and it keeps our run going.
'They were all on the front foot and it was a comfortable win in the end. We should have scored more goals but sometimes you get a fortunate second goal and we deserved the result overall.'
And following the debut given to young winger Rocky Lekej for the final five minutes, the Owls gaffer insisted he will be keen to get the 'future of the club' on the pitch to gain vital experience.
He added: 'If I can get players like Rocky involved it is important for his development to get first team football. We have had Mark Beevers come in and do exceptionally well too, they are both 17-year-olds and they are the future of this football club.
'It was good that Rocky could do it in front of a home crowd who got on the edge of their seat when he was on the ball to encourage him which is great for him.'

I've found the third series of "Doctor Who" to be the best by far, so it's only fitting "Doctor Who: The Complete Third Series" DVD box set ($99.98) be the best "Who" disc collection I've seen as well.
Yes, it's that good.
It helps there's so much to dig about the third "Who" series besides the delirious performance by David Tennant as the Doctor. You get the best companion with Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman), great villains like the Weeping Angels and the Master and some of the best "Who" episodes with the powerful "Human Nature" and "The Family of Blood" as well as the exquisite "Blink."
Oh, and the missus says I'd better mention comedienne Catherine Tate as Donna in "The Runaway Bride" episode and charmer John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness, so there you go.
But there's much more to this DVD set that catches the eye.
Take the gorgeous visuals. I don't think that spinning TARDIS or any other special effects on the show ever looked better. For what it's worth, I saw these "Who" DVDs on a plasma HDTV with an up-conversion DVD player. Whether that helps or not, the picture quality on these discs is simply stunning.
The stellar view is just the tip of this six-disc gold mine. The box set shines with more than six hours of bonus goodies like deleted scenes, audio commentary and David Tennant's video diaries. And from what I saw of these features, they're actually pretty good.
For instance, the deleted scenes are often pretty fun and insightful. (Who knew the Doctor so hated pears?) As for the "Doctor Who Confidential" behind-the-scenes episodes, you really get the sense the cast and crew genuinely enjoy working on the show. I only say that because, if anything, the DVD extras I saw didn't look nearly as staid or staged as the puff pieces we're used to in box sets.
I really enjoyed the first and second "Who" box sets, but this third disc collection trumps them both hands down. Like I said, it helps the third series of "Doctor Who" makes for a smart, thrilling adventure. It's refreshing to see its DVD box set bristles with that same clever enthusiasm.

Phil's Favorite Part Of The Show
A couple of hands from yesterday on which I'm seeking reader opinion. I'll discuss the actions I took in a later post. These are all late-tournament situations; my chip counts may not be entirely accurate but they're close enough. Hand #1: 9-handed, 500/1000/200. You are in EP2 with T25000 in chips. You have KsKh and make your standard opening raise of 5000. (The pot is T3300 before any cards are dealt; thus even a raise to T4000 gives the blind better than 2:1 to play. I never vary my opening raise.) All fold to the big blind, a solid player who has been on a small rush and has about 40K in chips; he calls. The flop comes QcJc2h. BB checks. The pot is T12300; you have T20000 left. Your action? Hand #2: 9-handed, 600/1200/200. You are BB with T18000 and are dealt Tc2d; you have not rigorously defended your blind for the last several orbits. A tricky, normally aggressive player with a monster stack (90K) limps from early position. SB completes, you check to see the free flop, which comes 8s9sTd. The SB checks. The pot is T5400. Your action?
