MIAMI—Many coastal communities in the U.S. are grappling with how best to protect low-lying areas from flooding as sea levels rise, but some of those efforts are generating disputes over costs, government regulations and the validity of climate-change studies.
Over the past century, the global sea level has risen about 8 inches, according to a draft climate report released earlier this year by a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration advisory committee. Many scientists say the rate of rise is accelerating as sea temperatures warm and ice caps melt. But some argue the rate has remained constant or is even decelerating. The climate report projects that sea levels will climb an additional 1 to 4 feet, and possibly higher, this century. If that happens, it could have deep implications for the 5 million U.S. residents who live in areas less than four feet above high tide, half of whom are in Florida, according to a 2012 report by Climate Central, a research organization that aims to measure the local impact of climate change.
The issue has gained urgency in the wake of last year's superstorm Sandy, which unleashed a destructive storm surge along the Eastern seaboard that many scientists said was exacerbated by rising sea levels. The debates in coastal communities revolve around how best to prepare for potentially devastating future storms while not overburdening tight budgets.
In the aftermath of Sandy, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg set out to determine how the city could fortify itself. This past week, he unveiled a $20 billion plan to build a network of floodwalls and levees, among other things. While many politicians and residents lauded the proposal, some fiscal conservatives raised concerns about the price tag.
Similar exercises in other parts of the country have proved controversial. In North Carolina, the Coastal Resources Commission, a state agency that establishes policies on coastal development, issued a report in 2010 that predicted a sea-level rise of as much as 39 inches by 2100. That inflamed some coastal residents and business leaders who feared the projection would lead to higher insurance rates.
A nonprofit group in the state called NC-20, which focuses on coastal development from an economic perspective, challenged the commission's findings, citing researchers who contest that sea-level rise is accelerating. After intense lobbying by the organization, the state enacted a law last year that effectively barred use of the 39-inch prediction for regulatory purposes.
"It's about preventing damage to the economy from excess, egregious regulation," said Tom Thompson, NC-20's chairman. Environmental groups countered that it was an attempt to legislate away reality.
In South Florida, more-frequent flooding during high tide in some areas and other effects of rising sea levels have stoked a public debate. Four counties—Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Monroe—formed the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact in 2010 to coordinate research on weather change and develop responses to it at a government level. Last year, the group released an action plan with 110 policy recommendations, including determining which utilities may need to be reinforced or relocated as a result of increased flooding threats.
The problem is that estimates of sea-level rise span a wide margin, said Nichole Hefty, chief of Miami-Dade's office of sustainability. "If we knew for certain it was going to rise a foot in the next 30 years, we could say, 'OK, let's look at a capital improvement plan,' " she said. Instead, officials are left with a tough choice: How much should they invest now to defend against a still-imprecise threat?
That question is at the heart of a dispute over a $1.6 billion upgrade of the Miami-Dade sewer system, which is old and prone to spills. The project is part of a consent decree announced this past week that settled an Environmental Protection Agency lawsuit over sewage overflows.
Biscayne Bay Waterkeeper, an environmental advocacy group, challenged the proposed agreement in federal court earlier this year, arguing that it failed to account for rising sea levels, leaving some coastal treatment plants prone to disaster in a storm. "To rebuild these systems at current elevation, with no hardening, no sea walls…is the height of irresponsibility," said Albert Slap, an attorney for the group.
Doug Yoder, deputy director of the Miami-Dade water and sewer department, responded that the county is indeed studying ways to protect plants against rising sea levels—such as elevating electrical systems—just not as part of the consent decree.
Up the Florida coast, another conflict flared recently over a regional planning group called Seven50 that includes seven southern counties, from Monroe to Indian River. The group, which includes public and private entities, aims to boost the area's economic competitiveness and in part is addressing the effects of climate change.
A number of Indian River residents decried the organization's work as an attempt to quash private-property rights by imposing sustainable-development initiatives on municipalities. Seven50's blueprint for economic prosperity is "a socialist document," said county commissioner Bob Solari.
He and fellow commissioners voted to withdraw from the group last December, after nearly 200 opponents of the effort packed a commission meeting to express concerns. The next month, the city council in Vero Beach, part of Indian River, did the same.
That sort of resistance imperils efforts to prepare for future Sandys, said Harold Wanless, a geologist at the University of Miami. Too often, he said, "people aren't willing to think through the reality of what's coming up."

DOBinspectors regularly visit job sites to check for OSHA cards, and any laborer without an OSHA card will be ejected from the job. Taking this course helps students to remain safety compliant and maintain their current employment or to become safety compliant as a first step towards qualifying to be hired in the construction field.
OSHA 10-Hour Construction Industry – Designated Training Topics
This training program is intended to provide entry level construction workers information about their rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file a complaint as well as how to identify, abate, avoid, and prevent job related hazards on a job site. The training covers a variety of construction industry safety and health hazards which a worker may encounter. Training will emphasize hazard identification, avoidance, control, and prevention, not OSHA standards. OSHA mandates that the 10 hours of training be broken into 7 hours of mandatory topics, 2 hours of elective topics, and 1 hour of optional topics as follows:
Mandatory - 7 hours
Introduction to OSHA – 2 hours
Covers workers' rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file a complaint. It includes helpful worker safety and health resources. It also provides samples of a weekly fatality and 3 catastrophe report, material data safety sheet, and the OSHA Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses.
Fall Hazards in Construction - 1.25 hours
Covers fall protection and related fall hazards encountered on construction sites, including how to remain safe and the proper techniques to establish fall protection.
Electrical Hazards in Construction – 1 hour
Covers electrical hazards and the dangers involved with working with electrical equipment and circuitry within the construction field.
Struck By Hazards in Construction – 1 hour
Covers hazards on construction jobsites that relate to falling and flying objects including vehicular strikes. Emphasis is placed on recognizing the hazard and avoiding the hazard.
Caught-In-Between Hazards in Construction – 1 hour
Includes hazard awareness of trench collapse, machine guarding, and entrapment situations where workers can be caught in operating machinery or pinched between opposing objects.
Personal Protective Equipment – 1/2 hour
Covers the proper, effective use of personal protective equipment (such as hearing protection, safety goggles, and gloves), including statistics of injuries related to the failure to properly use personal protective equipment.
Hazard Communication, Health Hazards, and Silica– 1 hour
Covers the proper way to label and catalogue hazardous materials and chemicals, such as cleaners, solvents, and paint, and how to avoid chronic exposure to hazardous substances including silica.
Elective - 2 hours The instructor will teach two to four of the following topics:
Scaffold Hazard Awareness
This topic covers scaffold hazards including falls, improper usage, improper erection, and the various safety systems to keep workers safe while using scaffolds.
Trench and Excavation Hazards
Excavation and trenching are among the most hazardous construction operations. This topic introduces learners to the hazards of trench and excavation safety as it is encountered in the construction process.
Confined Space Hazard Introduction
Introductory Hazard Training that refers to an area which is enclosed with limited access which makes it dangerous. Hazards in a confined space often include suffocation by un-breathable gases which may be present but not visible or submersion in liquids or free-flowing granular solids.
Ladder Safety
Ladder Hazard awareness, including how to properly select, use, and maintain ladders to ensure construction site hazards are minimized.
Respiratory Protection
This topic covers the dangers associated with potential exposure to pathogenic airborne contaminants that can cause acute and chronic diseases among construction workers.
This topic teaches how the use of Ergonomics, which is fitting a job to a person, helps lessen muscle fatigue, increase productivity, and reduce the number and severity of work-related musculoskeletal disorders.
Safety and Health Program
This topic teaches considerations for creating, implementing, and enforcing your own workplace Safety and Health Programs.
Optional - 1 hour
There is also an hour reserved for optional safety training. We can tailor an additional topic to a specific client (such as water safety if the client is a school with a swimming pool), or what most often happens is this hour is reserved for any of the previous topics that the students are particularly engaged in and want to spend more than the allotted time on. It is often helpful for the instructor to have this hour at his or her disposal to be able to devote to any topic in which the students are especially engaged.

Sandy Hackett
Sandy Hackett son of world-renowned legendary comedian, Buddy Hackett, was inspired at a young age to enter his father's world of comedy. Buddy was a powerful teacher and role model for Hackett. He taught by example, always reading and studying diligently, always re-examining his techniques, and ever the comic-genius guru to comedians old and young alike including his son.
Hackett soon learned what many already knew, an evening with Buddy Hackett was an evening of comedy & entertainment at its best. [The senior Hackett passed away June 30, 2003.] This was the foundation from which Hackett began his development, growth and versatility as a performer, producer, writer and entertainer.
At age eleven, Hackett accompanied his father for a scheduled appearance on the "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. " It was there that he caught the eye of the show's producers and made his first professional television debut. That's how it started.
Hackett was the Director of Entertainment at UNLV for the last three semesters that he attended there before he graduated with a degree in Hotel Administration. Degree in hand, Hackett couldn't deny his innate love for the stage and was motivated to pursue opportunities in that direction, which ultimately resulted in his producing and hosting "The Sahara Showcase of Talent" on Monday nights at The Sahara Hotel & Casino's Casbar Theater.
After a successful four-year run, and some acclaim for his subtle, Carson-esque hosting style, the show was renamed "Sandy Hackett's Talent Showcase" and ran for another decade, entertaining packed audiences. Due to it's popularity, Hackett hosted and produced the show not only at the Sahara in Las Vegas, but the Sahara Reno and Sahara Tahoe, and then the old Mint and Dunes Hotel & Casinos, where he introduced over ten thousand acts, including many first -time appearances on a Las Vegas stage by such entertainment phenoms as Andrew "Dice" Clay, Howie Mandel, Gary Muledeer, The Unknown Comic, Tony D'Andrea, Kenny Kerr, George Wallace, and many others. Sandy Hackett's Talent Showcase came to an end when they blew up the hotels he was working at while he was on stage to make way for what would become the new Las Vegas.
For the next 40 years he led his people through the desert in search of the Promised Land, stopping at Comedy Clubs throughout the land to learn his craft and entertain the masses. His father came to see him one night and asked him to come and share the stage with him. It was a dream come true for the younger Hackett. He accepted and traveled and learned from the master for the next 10 years as road manager, stage manager, navigator, opening act and best friend.
In 1990, Hackett opened his own comedy club in Laughlin, NV. His success there lasted throughout the 90's. His networking and organizational skills eventually opened up many show business ventures, and Hackett became an accomplished agent, manager, event planner, and buyer of talent when he became the Entertainment Director for Sun City Summerlin, booking talent for an incredible 400+ shows in two years at the intimate 320-seat Starbright Theater.
When HBO announced it was going to do a movie about he legendary Rat Pack, longtime family friend, Joey Bishop, called Hackett and told him that he would be perfect for the role of Joey. Although the part eventually went to someone else, the idea of playing Bishop, a man Hackett grew up with and whom he long admired, struck a chord with him. Hackett decided to pen his own show recreating Bishop and his famous buddies ....and so, "Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack Show" was born...and so was the baby Moses...but that's another story, for another time.
Hackett's role as writer, director and star of "Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack Show - Shadows in the Desert," which he produces with his partner and beautiful, talented wife, producer/singer Lisa Dawn Miller Hackett, has led to his most current success. Together, they have two beautiful children, Oliver (13 years old), an incredible young, singer/actor, who has already shared the stage with Stevie Wonder and 7 year old daughter, Ashleigh, an amazing young actress/comedian who has already shared the stage with her father.

Linear α-olefins (LAOs) are used in a wide range of applications in the chemical industry. Back in the 1990s, Linde Engineering and the Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) joined forces to develop α-SABLIN® technology. The first commercial plant to use α-SABLIN® technology went on-stream in Saudi Arabia in 2009 and has been working consistently above full design capacity since then. Linde and SABIC are continuing their successful partnership with the development of an on-purpose route to 1-hexene (LAO OP).
The key characteristics and features of the α-SABLIN® process include:
Moderate reaction conditions
Single-step, homogeneous catalytic reaction
Runaway-safe reaction system
Highly flexible product distribution
High selectivities and high product purities without superfractionation
Attractive economics
Available for licensing
α-SABLIN® plants comprise three main units: a reaction section, a catalyst quench and a separation section.
Reaction section:α-SABLIN®reactor
The α-SABLIN® process uses a Zr(IV) carboxylate as a catalyst and special aluminium alkyl components as a co-catalyst.
The oligomerisation of ethylene into LAOs takes place in a bubble column reactor at 20 to 35 bar and between 50 and 100°C. The solvent toluene and the dissolved catalyst components are fed into the liquid phase.
Ethylene is introduced to the bottom section of the reactor via a gas distribution system. The heavy liquid LAOs are removed from the lower section together with the solvent and the catalyst.
The LAO reaction is highly exothermic. Any heat exchanger surfaces in the reaction area, however, would be subject to heavy fouling. The α-SABLIN® process solves this problem by removing heat with ethylene. Using ethylene as a coolant in the LAO reactor is a unique feature of α-SABLIN® technology.
Separation section:α-SABLIN® product separation
The LAO products and solvent are separated downstream of the reaction section in the product separation section. The separation train only applies to standard distillation technology. Due to the high selectivity of the catalyst system, there is no need to install sophisticated superfractionation steps for removal of by-products and impurities.

Two of our very favorite sandwiches to make for parties or just a fun lunch are our Rocket Ship sandwich and our Ice Cream Cone sandwich. It's a great way to get kids to eat more veggies, as many of the sandwich elements are made from pieces of vegetables.
For the Rocketship:
- 2 slices white bread
- 1 slice whole wheat bread
- Radish
- Cheese slice
- Assorted pepper slices
- Cucumber slice
- Cheese for star
- Sandwich filling of your choice
Cut bread slices into a rocket shape from white bread. Fill with sandwich filling of your choice. Ham & cheese? Turkey and mayo? Cut rocketship legs from whole wheat bread. Cut cheese slice legs and orange pepper legs to add to the top of the whole wheat legs. Cut three thin radish slices to add for rocketship windows. Make flames beneath rocketship from yellow pepper. To finish off, cut a star from a cheese slice or orange pepper. Make a "moon" slice from cucumber. This will delight any little boy or man in your life! Actually, the girls might like it too!
We love the festive look of this sandwich and who doesn't love ice cream? So cute that it's hard to believe it's a sandwich. Make a single dip or a double dip ice cream cone sandwich. This is a really fun and festive sandwich that can be made for most any occasion. A great birthday party sandwich or a "just-forFun" lunch treat.
For the Double Dip Ice Cream Cone:
- 1 slice white bread
- 1 slice pumpernickel bread
- 1 slice whole wheat bread
- Snippets of colored veggies
- Carrot
- Sandwich filling
Remove crusts from all bread and then cut each slice of bread in half. Fold like pieces of bread together. Cut a large triangular shape for the cone from the whole wheat bread. Cut an ice cream "dip" from white bread, as shown with a drippy bottom. You will need to cut the top of the "cone" to the shape of your white Dip, just cutting away a tiny amount so the fit is good. Cut a second Dip from the pumpernickel in the same manner. Adjust the top of the white dip to fit the bottom of the dark Dip, as shown. All pieces should align nicely.
Fill all sandwich pieces with desired filling and set in place on the plate. Cut thin strips of carrot to form the cross hatching on the cone. Cut pieces to fit. Now cut little snippets of different colored veggies to make "sprinkles" to add to the top of the ice cream. We used radish, celery, yellow pepper and orange pepper. Use whatever veggies you have on hand. Finish by garnishing the plate with extra little sprinkles.
For more Kids party foods
Additional Fun Party Sandwiches can be found in the ZiggityZoom Activities section, under the Fun Foods category. Keep checking for future additions.

I don't know what the bike is, but the car is no less than a BMW E30 with a Skyline GT-R RB26 swap doing a wicked burnout while being jumped. It's the kind of mad collision of disparately awesome factors that make life worth living and Baseketball such a surprisingly funny movie.
There's a very long build thread documenting the entire project, but here's a summary of the 167 pages: 1985 BMW 325 + RB26 out of a Skyline GT-R = the BMW 326rb.
The color isn't exactly to my taste, but anyone who puts that much work into taking a Skyline mill and dropping it into an E30 with such careful craftsmanship can paint it radioactive yellow-on-black with a bright pink engine if they want to. Which is what they did.
And now to the jump!
(Thanks to Chris for the tip, Ian Kley for the image!)

A year later, probe continues in Iowa cousins' deaths
DES MOINES, Iowa -- Scant new information has been discovered or released in the year since the bodies of two cousins were discovered in a heavily wooded conservation area in eastern Iowa, but law enforcement officials insist that the case is far from cold.
"We've had well over 1,100 leads on the investigation and we're still getting a lot of calls from people who are just now remembering they were in a certain area or something seemed suspicious," said Gerard Meyers, assistant director of field operations for the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
One year ago Thursday, hunters discovered the bodies of Lyric Cook-Morrissey and Elizabeth Collins at Seven Bridges Wildlife Area in Bremer County.
The two girls disappeared from Evansdale on July 13, 2012. Cook-Morrissey was 10 and Collins was 8 at the time.
Events over the past year have thrown the girls' abduction and murder back into the spotlight, but so far, none have led investigators to the information they need to solve the case.
STORY: Officials confirm bodies are missing Iowa girls
Another kidnapping in May had some people asking whether the same person could be responsible for both crimes.
Officials continue to investigate a possible link to Michael J. Klunder, who police say abducted two girls from Dayton on May 20 and killed one, 15-year-old Kathlynn Shepard, before killing himself.
Officials have not found any evidence linking Klunder to the Evansdale case, but they haven't ruled him out either, Meyers said.
"We're still leaving it on the table at this point," Meyers said. "We don't have substantial facts to articulate either way," that Klunder was or wasn't responsible.
Investigators are still waiting for some evidence to be analyzed at a specialized FBI crime lab, and Meyers said there is no timeline for when that analysis could be completed.
Authorities are also vetting a man who was arrested last week with Cook-Morrissey's mother, Misty, in Fayette County. Misty Cook-Morrissey and Todd Michael Henriksen face felony drug charges after police found drugs, digital scales and other evidence showing drug distribution, police said.
"Our personnel had been in contact with the Fayette County authorities even before that," Meyers said. "At this point, there's no correlation."
Capt. Richard Abben of the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Department, who has been a spokesman for the case since the cousins' disappearance, said he understands that people want answers.
"It's frustrating, but it only takes one clue to pan out well to break the thing wide open again," Abben said.

Senior Meghan McGuire is the current leading scorer that returns to the pitch for Lipscomb this season; the Roseville, Minn., native has three goals and three assists in three seasons for the Lady Bisons.
Tullahoma, Tenn., native Kirsten Heikkinen will roam all over the pitch in 2011, spending much time at forward but also seeing action at defender and in the midfield. She played 1,460 minutes in 2010, second only to Katie Wood and Kelsey Reiman among Lipscomb returnees.
Sophomore Jenna Price will see time at midfield and forward this season. She assisted on one goal in 2010 and will try for her first career collegiate goal this season.
Freshman Baylee Linnell was a high school teammate of fellow Lady Bison freshman Haley Wright at Oakland High School. The duo teamed to lead Oakland to the 2010 Regional championship.
Brentwood's Karli Crosby joins the squad for the 2011 campaign after being named all-state in 2010 and all-region from 2008-10 for the Bruins. Wood, juniors Kameron Stilwell and Andie Thornton will also provide depth at forward, as well as multiple other spots around the pitch.
Check back all week for more videos and previews of the upcoming season for the Lady Bisons, who kick the regular season off Friday, Aug. 19, against Arkansas State.

The PlayStation 3 version of Final Fantasy X HD will include both Final Fantasy X and X-2 on a single disc, according to a 2ch rumor* picked up by FF-Reunion.
On PS Vita, each title will apparently be sold separately.
Each game will also include its respective International edition content, according to the rumor. A release is planned for 2013.
* The information supposedly comes from next week's issue of Jump. According to FF-Reunion, the poster has a proven track record with these types of leaks.
dancing yuna on my vita!
hell yeah!
just make its price affordable ok like mgs collectons hd ^_^
I couldn't care if it had X-2 on it. As far as I'm concerned that game didn't exist.
X was one of my favourites, but the sequel was just pure awful.
I'm guessin this would be the reason why it's taking so long. At least I hope it is. I would love to have both of these in a collection. I'll give Square a little respect if this is true.
I never played X-2, it never interested my as much as I loved X but I may give it a try if this is true.
I know x2 aint very liked but who can complain about more especially when this was going to be overpriced anyway.

In this activity, students will demonstrate the generator effect, which is due to electromagnetic induction when a conductor (a long metal wire) moves through a magnetic field. Materials required to this activity include: a 100-foot extension cord... (View More) with ground prong, current or voltage galvanometer, two lead wires with alligator clips on at least one end, and one compass. This activity must be done in an open space large enough to swing a 100-foot cord as a jump rope, such as a gymnasium or outdoor field. This is activity three of "Exploring Magnetism." The guide includes science background information, student worksheets, glossary and related resources. (View Less)
Materials Cost: Over $20 per group of students
This is an activity about magnetic induction. Learners will induce a flow of electricity in a wire using a moving bar magnet and measure this flow using a galvanometer, or Am meter.

This activity requires coils or spools of wire, a knife switch, three magnetic compasses, a source of electricity such as 3 D-cell batteries or an AC to DC power adapter, alligator-clipped wire, and a bar or cow magnet. This is the fourth lesson in the second session of the Exploring Magnetism teachers guide. (View Less)
This activity demonstrates Lenz's Law, which states that an induced electromotive force generates a current that induces a counter magnetic field that opposes the magnetic field generating the current. In the demonstration, an empty aluminum can... (View More) floats on water in a tray, such as a Petri dish. Students spin a magnet just inside the can without touching the can. The can begins to spin. Understanding what happens can be explained in steps: first, the twirling magnet creates an alternating magnetic field. Students can use a nearby compass to observe that the magnetic field is really changing. Second, the changing magnetic field permeates most things around it, including the aluminum can itself. A changing magnetic field will cause an electric current to flow when there is a closed loop of an electrically conducting material. Even though the aluminum can is not magnetic, it is metal and will conduct electricity. So the twirling magnet causes an electrical current to flow in the aluminum can. This is called an "induced current." Third, all electric currents create magnetic fields. So, in essence, the induced electrical current running through the can creates its very own magnetic field, making the aluminum can magnetic. This is activity four of "Exploring Magnetism." The guide includes science background information, student worksheets, glossary and related resources. (View Less)

It began in 1964 as a Time magazine photo assignment for Henry Grossman to cover the Beatles' debut appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show." It developed over the years into a deep friendship between Grossman and the group, one that allowed him rare access to document the members' public and private moments during the height of their fame.
"I wasn't into rock 'n' roll so at first they were just another assignment," said the 76-year-old Grossman, recalling how he plugged his ears with tissues during another Beatles concert that year in Atlantic City. "It was like being in front of a jet engine with all the screaming."
That relationship resulted in unique photos of the Fab Four, which have now been collected in a recently published book, "Places I Remember: My Time With the Beatles," from Curvebender Publishing. It is nothing if not monumental: a 13-pound, 528-page tome drawn exclusively from Grossman's vast collection of nearly 6,000 images from his years with the band from 1964 to '68.
Hollywood Star Walk: The Beatles
Grossman traveled with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr to concerts in the U.S. and Europe. He accompanied them back to England where he was invited into their homes and met the families.

Lt. Gov. Tim Murray tells supporters he will not run for governor in 2014
Lieutenant Governor Timothy P. Murray, who had been raising money and laying the groundwork for a run for governor but faced tough political questions, said Friday that he would not seek the corner office in 2014.
"As I contemplate the commitment required over the next 20 months (and the following four years as Governor) and weigh that against my obligations and responsibilities to my young family, I have decided that I will not be a candidate for Governor in the 2014 election cycle,'' he said in an e-mail to supporters. "Nor will I be a candidate for any other statewide office in 2014.''
"This decision is not arrived at lightly and comes only after a great deal of reflection and numerous conversations with my wife, family, and friends,'' the Democrat said in the letter.
The announcement was a surprise, given that Murray had raised $447,000 in 2012, more than any other candidates with fundraising accounts at the state level.
As recently as November, Murray, who has served as Governor Deval Patrick's loyal No. 2 for six years, told the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce ''like many of you in the room, I would like to be governor.''
"I have mixed feelings because if he had decided to run, I would have been ALL in,'' Patrick said today after a Cabinet meeting at Union Station in Worcester.
His decision will alter the emerging field of Democratic candidates weighing a run, which includes Steve Grossman, the state treasurer, and Donald Berwick, a former administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Notably, it could clear the way for US Representative Michael E. Capuano, an urban liberal who would draw some of the same supporters as Murray, a former mayor of Worcester. Capuano, a Somerville Democrat and former mayor of his city, said this week he will not run for Senate. State Senator Dan Wolf, a Cape Cod Democrat and founder of Cape Air, is also considering a run.
Charles Baker, a Republican who ran in 2010, is considering another run as well.
Murray has been struggling politically for the last year since a mysterious early morning car crash in 2011 and the revelation of his close political alliance with a controversial former housing authority director in Chelsea.
In an October poll by the Globe, 27 percent offered a favorable opinion of the lieutenant governor, compared with 22 percent who said they viewed him unfavorably.
Representative James McGovern of Worcester, a close friend, issued the following statement Friday morning: "I fully understand, respect and admire Tim Murray's decision to not seek the governor's office in 2014. The greatest service any of us can render is to care for our families. Today, Tim has chosen to forego this particular campaign to spend more time with Tammy so that together they can focus on their young daughters. That takes both courage and character.''

As Valentine's Day approaches, some thoughts on love
As Valentine's Day approaches I'm reminded of how often patients ask "What is love?" Unfortunately, the most accurate answer I can give them is, "It depends."
Love is a complicated topic and to prove this fact, the Greeks have three different words to describe it:
"Eros" is the word used to describe a kind of love rooted in physical attraction or chemistry. When we talk about "falling in love" we are referring to Eros.
"Philos" is more about affection and caring for a partner, family or friends. This is a type of love that makes us want to treat others kindly.
"Agape" is considered the highest form of love as it is selfless. It moves us to protect the well-being of others at any cost.
The cultural hype surrounding Valentine's Day is about Eros. On Feb. 14, cards, flowers and candy abound. Unfortunately, no one teaches us that Eros generally has an expiration date.
To further take some of the "romance" out of it, Dr. Helen Fisher, an anthropologist at Rutgers University, claims that "romantic love is one of three basic brain systems that evolved for reproduction. Each evolved for a reason: The sex drive evolved to get you out there looking for partners. Romantic love evolved to enable you to focus your energy on just one person at a time, conserving time and energy. And attachment, the feeling of security you can feel with a long-term partner, evolved to help you stay together long enough to raise kids."
If you are suddenly feeling disheartened and cynical about your love life, here are some ways to keep romantic love alive long after Cupid shoots his arrow:
Realize that if romantic love is to endure beyond the intense Eros phase, you must have a solid foundation of friendship, shared values and goals, respect and some common interests.
Don't take your spouse for granted by being neglectful or disrespectful. Romantic love is conditional and can ultimately die if left untended.
Create time alone to enjoy each other's company. This can be as simple and affordable as a walk on the beach, or as complicated and expensive as an exotic getaway.
A happy, healthy sex life won't save a broken relationship but it will certainly make a good one even better. Even if it's been many years since you and your partner fell head over heels in love, take time this Valentine's Day to do something thoughtful for your Valentine and remember what brought you together in the first place.

Some things on my radar right now:
1. This new West Elm chair looks so high end with it's contrast buttons and piping. Plus I love the shape.
2. When it's this cold I dread washing my hair because I can't let it air dry- so I tend to go 3-4 days between shampoos and this Oribe Dry spray is the BEST for adding back some volume and texture to roots. Plus it makes hair nice and "grippy" for updos!
3. When I travel I always am looking for little bags or pouches to put my delicate jewelry in- this little pouch from Claire Vivier would be so perfect and the monogram makes it feel luxe (a great gift for friends too!)
4. This print pillow from CB2 is a steal and adds so much style- I'd love it on a bed with white and black linens!
5. I head to Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic in February for a week of sun and I am going to pick up this bikini from Athleta for the trip.
6. I fell hard for this make-up bag for trips from C. Wonder!
7. I cannot stop staring at these Leoffler Randall shoes. I want them SO. BAD.
8. I am pretty much obsessed with everything at Club Monaco right now. This jacket in particular. It's SO very good.
9. Add a little natural wood in a modern way to your wall with these rustic deep picture ledges.
10. Madeline Weinrib just released this new Mala rug from which they donate 100% of the proceeds to a great charity that helps build schools and end child labor in carpet weaving areas of India. Do good while making your home look good too.
11. Pottery Barn now has these horizontal striped panels in
black, oops I mean NAVY, tan and aqua- awesome.
12. Oh. My. God. I just started watching Scandal and HOLY HELL I am obsessed. I cannot get enough. I watch like 4 or 5 episodes in a row on the weekends and am about to finish season 2. It's making me want to buy lots of white clothes and satin pajama pants. You better believe there will be some Olivia Pope inspired Fashion Friday posts coming your way….
13. This media center is so gorgeous, especially in a smaller space. It offers up so much storage and a streamlined, mid-century look.
14. Love these classic, feminine bow flats from Tory Burch. Also love the two tone version!
15. LOVE LOVE these earrings from Bauble Bar. Must add to my collection.

Alleged 'El Chapo' Guzmán Deputy Going On Trial In Chicago
CHICAGO (AP) – A reputed lieutenant of recently captured drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzmán abruptly reversed his plans to plead guilty Friday to federal trafficking charges, a move made out of fear for the lives of his wife and children in Mexico, according to his attorney.
Alfredo Vasquez Hernández, who has been in U.S. custody since 2012, had been scheduled to change his plea to guilty in federal court in Chicago. But his attorney, Paul Brayman, told a judge that Hernández decided to go to trial as originally planned after a Chicago television news report that Brayman says fed rumors in Mexico that his client "had turned against Guzmán."
"That is simply not true," Brayman told the judge, emphasizing that there was no deal to cooperate with prosecutors. "He doesn't intend ... to testify against anyone ever."
Speaking to reporters outside court, Brayman explained that Hernández feared the rumors had put the lives of his wife and children in danger.
"There's no solid information (of an actual threat), but his wife and children are certainly trying to be unavailable at this point, and hopefully they'll be safe," Brayman said. "He's not afraid of El Chapo, but just to have that rumor out there, you never know what's going to happen in Mexico."
Hernández had planned to enter a blind plea, meaning it isn't part of any deal with the government. It also means that prosecutors made no promises to him in advance in order to secure a guilty plea. U.S. attorneys would not comment Friday on the details of the case beyond what was said in court.
Guzmán, leader of the world's most powerful drug cartel, was captured about two weeks ago after more than a decade-long manhunt.
Hernández is scheduled to go to trial May 12 in a trafficking conspiracy case in Chicago that names Guzmán as a co-conspirator.
The U.S. attorney's office in Chicago indicted the two men and several others in 2009 in a $1 billion conspiracy to use speed boats, submarines and even a cargo plane to move drugs from South America to Mexico, then to the U.S.
Hernández, extradited to Chicago in 2012, is described in court filings as a skilled logistics chief who arranged cocaine shipments by train from Guadalajara, Mexico, to Chicago for the Sinaloa cartel. The cargo was listed as furniture.
Hernández, whose nickname is "Alfredo Compadre," also allegedly boasted to cooperating witnesses about sending 747 cargo planes full of clothes on humanitarian missions to South America, according to court filings. They'd return to Mexico with up to 13 tons of cocaine.
He was charged with multiple counts, including conspiring to import cocaine into the United States. A conviction on all counts carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.
A gray-haired Hernández appeared at Friday's hearing in a bright orange jumpsuit, his legs shackled. He listened to the proceedings on a headset with the help of an interpreter.
His attorney said Hernández had planned to change to his plea to guilty in part in hopes of getting a prison sentence close to the mandatory minimum of 10 years on one of the counts.
"We just wanted to try to resolve the case at that point," he explained.
He said Guzmán's capture had nothing to do with that plan.
Chicago is among seven U.S. cities where Guzmán has been indicted, and federal officials in the city had said — long before Guzmán's capture — that they wanted him to face trial in Chicago one day.
Mexican officials, however, formally charged Guzmán after his capture, signaling they want the first crack at prosecuting him.

It's always good to see one of the most tried-and-true root friendly apps get updates for our ever-changing Android environment. In version 3.1, Root Explorer adds an entry to its manifest to make it Superuser-friendly. By adding ACCESS_SUPERUSER, users of Koush's Superuser app will no longer be warned that Root Explorer has not declared this permission, and those that use the "Declared Permission only" setting no longer have to worry about Root Explorer not being granted root privledges.
Also gained is the ability to change the permissions and owner of multiple files at the same time. Simply select each file using the checkboxes Root Explorer added a few updates ago, and use the action overflow/menu button to carry out the task. This is definitely a potential time saver, allowing users to avoid doing it one file at a time or connecting to ADB and doing it that way.
As always, the Play Store button up top is there to take you directly to the app page — or simply update Root Explorer directly through your device.

With the sweep,
The loss drops Coker to 17-27, 9-12.
Coker's Ryan Schaeffer hit a two-run double in the second inning and scored on a triple by Brian Nally to give the Cobras a 4-0 lead.
In the top of the third, Ben Davidson blasted a solo home run over the left field fence, but the Trojans answered with two runs in the bottom of the inning to cut the Coker lead to 5-2.
The Cobras loaded the bases with no outs in the sixth but scored just one run when Cory Welch got stuck out Davidson to end the threat.
Welch earned his first win of the season by allowing just one hit in three innings of work.
Kyle Strickland was saddled with the loss for the Cobras.
The Trojans were led offensively by Graham, who was 3-for-4 with two RBI, and by Smith, who was 2-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored.
Davidson led the Cobras by going 2-for-3 with two RBI.


text: About a week and a half ago, I was hungry but not hungry, if you know what I mean. I didn't know what I wanted, but I wanted it to be good, and I didn't want that much of it. Just the taste on my tongue. Anyway, I ended up having half a small wheel of camembert for dinner, thinking it was kind of weird but just, you know, going with it. And the next day, BAM: My period had arrived. Early. But suddenly my dinner made sense, and I felt less strange about it: Hey, my body was telling me something: It was craving fat. I merely obeyed. There have been similar instances with steak (iron-rich!) and olives. I'd like to think my body knows what it needs, but there's also the chance that I just needed comfort, and cheese is comfort food. That said, je ne regrette rien. What are your PMS cravings?

**Original text – Alexander Voynov, Sport Weekend
– Do you remember your first game as a pro?
You bet! I was 17. I think it was season 1988/89. It was the last game of the season against Sokol Kiev. I was very nervous. I was put out there with Alexei Kasatonov – the legend. He tried to cheer me up as best as he could. We won 8:2 but I was frustrated.
– Why?
The only two goals we allowed happened when I was on the ice. I was really frustrated because of that.
– Ever since then you and Kasatonov were always together.
Destiny kept us close to each other for which I am grateful. Alexei was my first partner in pro hockey. Then I work for him as a playing coach of Krylia Sovetov when he was a GM there.
– How does it feel to be a playing coach?
It's not easy. Definitely not easy. You have to be a healthy man with a good heart. Once I was forced to miss a few games because of an injury and stayed on the bench. I lost a lot of nerves because in those 2 games. Don't ever trust those who say it's an easy job.
– By the way, he did it happen that you started to play hockey in Red Army while your older brother, Dmitry, began in Krylia Sovetov?
Both of us came to Red Army first. Dmitry is 7 years my major. When it was time for him to make a jump to the next level, it was hard for him to do so in Red Army. Especially after the military service [where he was for 2 years]. Back then Viktor Tikhonov's stars were Kasatonov, Gusarov and Stelnov – they were the best [defensemen] in Russian hockey at the time. So Tikhonov called [Krylia Sovetov's coach] Igor Dmitriev and told him: "Hey, there's this guy called Dima Mironov. He's got talent. Want to take for a year and teach him a few things?"
Igor agreed to do so. I don't think him or my brother have ever regretted that. With him, Dmitry blossomed, got called up to national team, played at the Olympics in Albertville and then went to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs who drafted him.
– You followed him next year. In 1993 you went to play for the Winnipeg Jets. What did you expect to see in the NHL and what it turned out to be in fact?
Honestly, there wasn't anything special about it. As they say, people are all the same. The Jets were a great team with a somewhat controversial GM Mike Smith.
– What do you mean – controversial?
He loved European hockey. In 1993 Smith gathered more than 10 Russians to play for the Jets. So we didn't exactly feel bored there.
– What did the Canadians think about so many Russians playing for the Jets?
They greeted us well. We didn't have any problems in communication and there were no conflicts. We were just people who came to the new world. So they as hosts tried to help us out. None of us spoke English. North Americans taught us how to speak it. We also taught them a few things (laughs).
– Kasatonov once said that when he first came to the NHL he asked tough-guys to teach him how to fight. What about you?
I didn't do that. Although, we had a famous Albanian Tie Domi on our team. There was one other tough-guy – Kris King. In my first game for the Jets during the pre-season against the Rangers I got into a fight with Brian Noonan. I learned that he was a tough-guy only after the game. This is exactly why I went into the fight so fearlessly. Afterwards Domi walked up to me and said: "Come, my brave Russian friend. I'm gonna show you a few tricks for the future so you would keep a head for as long as possible". He gave me a few lessons.
– You played 5 years for Red Army. Did you get into any fights during that time?
There wasn't anything serious in the Soviet league. If something did occur, we still kept the gloves on. Kids' stuff really. What it felt like to be in a real fight, I learned in my very first game across the ocean.
– What was the difference?
It hurts.
– Did you fight with your brother when you were kids?
As all brothers do. Dima is older than me, so I was punched more. It usually started like this – I didn't like something, tried to fight him, get my ass kicked and calmed down. Since then I knew for a fact – fighting your brother is a bad idea.
– You still had to do it once. How many times were you asked about this one fight between you and Dmitry that occurred when the Jets played against the Maple Leafs?
Very, very often. Even though, that episode hardly deserves to be called a brawl. There was a pushing and shoving going on in front of the net that led to a 5-on-5 fight. There is a rule in the NHL – if it's a 5-on-5 fight, everybody picks an opponent so nobody would have to fight against 2 guys. So I look at my opponent and see familiar features in his face. I go: "Is that you Dima?". And he goes: "Hey Borya! Wanna bring back the childhood?". We grabbed each other by the jerseys and laughed.
– Ironically enough, the Rangers 'sent' quite a few Russians home, you went to play for Vityaz afterwards. Kasparaitis left for SKA and Pavel Bure was forced to retire.
You know what they say – signing with the Rangers is the end of your career (laughs). Honestly, though, everyone had his reasons. Darius was getting old. Pavel had problems with his knee. By the way, it still bothers him. I was out of a contract. It wasn't only us who were 'struck' upon. Team management really changed the roster that season. The team wasn't winning, so the bosses decided to throw in some new blood in there. When a team with a huge budget misses the play-offs, it's not okay.
Judging by the names on our roster we should have been up top. What's even more interesting is that the were no conflicts or scandals within the team. The atmosphere was terrific. We just couldn't win. We couldn't even buy a win! So they decided to really change it around. It's normal for the NHL when a team changes 15 players over the summer.
– How different is the atmosphere in an all-star team and blue-collar teams like the Oilers or the Jets?
When I became a Ranger, the team already had Leetch, Jagr, Bure and Richter. For sure, when you talk different to the guys who already made a name for themselves in the NHL. When I was with the Oilers everybody on the team was young and single. We tried to stay together off the ice. In New York almost everybody was married so it was rather problematic to go out to even a restaurant with somebody. But at the same time there was a terrific atmosphere in the dressing-room. There were no stars and blue-collars. Although, off the ice, everybody had a game of his own to play.
– What saddens you the most – the fact that you never played in the Stanley Cup final, or that you lost the final game at the Olympics in Nagano?
It is indeed very sad that I played 12 seasons in the NHL and never won the cup. At first I played for the Jets, then – for the young Oilers. The was one time with the Oilers when we barely made it to the play-offs and in the first round beat the Dallas Stars who were considered to be the favorites. A year after that we managed to pull of the very same thing with the Colorado Avalanche – we came back from 1:3 in the series.
Play-off hockey is a different and unpredictable game where everybody gives a 120% and every mistake can lead to a defeat. You have to prepare for these games differently. Yes, I didn't win the Stanley Cup but I don't regret it. Ray Bourque played for the Bruins for 21 seasons and won the cup only with the Avalanche where moved exactly for this reason.
The loss I'm sad about the most is the Nagano Olympics. All we had to do was to beat the Czechs in the final, and we didn't.
– What about Salt Lake City? Do you think Sergei Samsonov scored that goal on Team USA?
People argued a lot about that. The replays were everywhere. Here's my opinion. I don't think there was a goal. I think the puck hit the post. And this is how it's going to go down in history.

It's the NBA Draft Lottery tonight, otherwise known as "we can't believe the Knicks didn't trade away their first round pick." If you get your jollies from doing mockups of ping pong balls bouncing around, Chad Ford, as always, has your back.
"Ping Pong Balls And A Dream" is what NBA.com is calling it, and hey, who can't get excited about that? There's no obvious No. 1 and No. 2 like Oden and Durant last year, though certainly Derrick Rose is going to make someone awfully happy. True Hoop has a good rundown of what each lottery team is thinking, and hey, look: Dwyane Wade will be representing the Heat! Talk about a fall. We hope he brings Star Jones with him.
So yeah: It starts tonight at 8 p.m. Ping pong balls and Dwyane Wade in a suit.
By the way, FanIQ has some "great" NBA Draft Lottery moments.

It's a very natural sentence. I think you dropped a word in your second example. "I e-mailed to you yesterday." That would be ok, but more likely someone would say "I e-mailed you yesterday," or even better, "I sent you an e-mail yesterday." The preposition "to" is not needed and not usually used, although it is correct. You've certainly learned a lot of English!
