Metro is planning to close the south entrance of the Dupont Circle station in northwest Washington in order to replace three escalators.
The transit agency says the entrance at 19th Street will close on Feb. 1 and that the work will take about eight months. Metro chief spokesman Dan Stessel says crews will work days, nights and weekend to complete the work as fast as possible.
Metro is contracting the work to Switzerland-based Schindler Group as part of a contract worth about $12 million.
Officials have said the south escalators at Dupont Circle are among the least reliable in the system.

Leaders in Chicago, Pasadena and Riverside talk about launching and maintaining open data initiatives.
It's hard to find anyone who hasn't heard of open data by now, and yet the state and local governments working to expose their data are vastly outnumbered by those that are waiting for a solid business case to support the idea before they try it.
There are anecdotes of open data leading to cost savings, improving services and making organizations run more efficiently. But open data, by its nature, does not guarantee anything specifically. The uncertainty that wards off so many is the same trait that makes open data alluring to those who were willing to make the leap of faith. Three open data advocates shared with Government Technology what it takes to get started on open data, why it's worth it, and the arguments they use when faced with opposition.
Today, Pasadena, Calif.'s open data portal contains 74 data sets and links to GIS map data, crime mapping data, and a permit and case search engine. Powered by Junar through Amazon Web Services, Pasadena's open data portal is an integral part of the city's plan to release information with the hope that it will eventually make daily operations easier, said CIO Phillip Leclair.
"Innovation in government is difficult, and those of us who work in government are buried in so much of the operations and the day-to-day, it's hard to step above it and look out beyond what's possible," Leclair said. Open data, he said, is an investment in operations with an unknown payoff. Leclair believes in open data, but admits that getting support isn't always easy.
One selling point of open data is that it encourages the replication of a phenomenon occasionally seen in government where an employee leaves the organization to develop a product or an application and then sells it back to the place they used to work. "Almost all of the water utility applications that are provided to consumers or provided internally to help with efficiency, those are usually developed by people who used to work for a water utility," Leclair said. So if innovation is a function of access to information and knowledge of how government works, then governments that release their data are opening themselves up to all kinds of new possibilities.
"Open data to me is really a way to bring about experimentation and new opportunities in your organization," he said. Pasadena didn't do open data all at once — the city started piecemeal, first automating its public records request system, then opening GIS data and eventually creating the open data portal through a hackathon — and anyone interested in open data shouldn't worry too much about planning everything at once, Leclair said. "They just need to jump in and do it."
Governments don't have the resources to do everything themselves, so putting the information out there to allow others the opportunity is a common sense solution, he said.
Pasadena choose Junar as its platform because the company was the most supportive of the tight deadline set by the city, Leclair said. He added that cloud-based services like Junar and Socrata were attractive to the city because they can be continually updated with new features. The city considered building its open data platform in-house, but rejected the idea because it didn't want to develop the necessary tools from scratch or worry about scalability, Leclair said.
Picking the right solution is important, Leclair said, but he contends that open data isn't about proving a return on investment or even putting it on the same plane as every other technology project. Instead, open data is a philosophy that can fundamentally change how business is done. But it only works if leaders in the organization believe that it will release value, he warns.
"The new face of the CIO in every industry is not someone who understands everything about technology, although that's useful," Leclair said. "It's about being a leader, being a part of the business, trying to get people to try new things, be innovative and creative. It's about relationships and building businesses and change. All the traditional management types who are just thinking about [technology] products and how the phone system's working and how pretty their website looks are missing what's happening."
In July, the city of Riverside, Calif., launched its own transparency portal called Engage Riverside, a homemade platform that ties together open data efforts that had been scattered across city Web pages in previous years. The city couldn't afford the cloud-based solutions offered by Junar or Socrata, but open data was viewed as too important to ignore, Chief Innovation Officer Lea Deesing said.
Deesing said launching the portal took 200 hours, and there are plans to continue adding new data especially around GIS. When asked why she's putting time into this initiative when there are so many other things to focus on, Deesing replied, "Why not?"
She admits the city can't predict what future insights, services and products will come from opening the data. But she's convinced there will be benefits.
"Similar to the early days of the open source movement, we don't yet fully understand the potential of open data, but we inherently know it is critical to breaking down silos of information," Deesing said. "Data mash-ups from varying agencies have the potential to answer questions that have yet to be asked and help solve problems that have yet to be identified."
When the city started opening its data, officials realized it would be too time consuming to release everything, so they narrowed the scope. Senior Software Engineer Chris Tilden said Riverside looked at the most popular data sets in other cities like Chicago and used that as a priority list.
Crime data, fire response, 311 repairs and budget data were among the most popular, and today those continue to be the most downloaded data sets on Riverside's website. In less than a month, Engage Riverside's data sets have received more than 400,000 views, Deesing said.
Just as the Boy Scouts of America follow the tenet of trying to "leave this world a little better than you found it," Riverside is making a time investment in releasing its data the right way, Deesing said. "We're using the Boy Scout approach in that this is taxpayer data so we're trying to return it in a better condition than it was found, adding value to it and making it meaningful to the citizens, not just checking off a box and saying, 'OK, we did open data.'"
Chicago is frequently cited as a city government with an impressive open data offering. Built on Socrata, Chicago's open data portal hosts more than 200 data sets accompanied by tools and visualizations for understanding the raw information. The city also opened its 311 system through a Code for America project in 2012 that spawned a national program called Open311 Labs.
Chicago's Open311 project was launched through a civic organization called Smart Chicago Collaborative, led by Executive Director Dan O'Neil. O'Neil helped write the Eight Principles of Open Government Data in 2007, and he has worked with governments to develop civic apps and open data ordinances for more than a decade.
O'Neil is an open data advocate, but said he's disappointed in the amount of activity and discourse related to Chicago's Open311 APIs.
"I don't think it's going that great," he said. "It's not an everyday part of regular residents' lives. That's for sure. On the other hand, 311 is a regular part of life for tens of thousands of people every day. … I want to talk more about it, I guess that's what I'm saying. We need to find ways to make products that people love and can't live without, and I think we have this fallacy that it's just like, 'Oh yeah, here's a lookup tool for this open data.' That's not it. You've got to go further."
App development based on Open311 data has been sluggish, O'Neil said, despite Chicago's thriving civic tech community.
"If it was going to happen anywhere, I think there's a good case that it would have happened here in Chicago. We have a good civic tech community, we have a responsive government, we have an open 311 system, we have lots of data, and I don't think it's happened. So what's up with that? I'd like to look into that. And, in fact, it may not be a sad story. It may not be a frustrating story at all. It may just be a story of residents calling up on the telephone and getting a service request done by the city, and everything's great. We may have been wrong about the necessity around [creating an open] 311."
O'Neil said he's still waiting to see city government data combined with other information in ways that lead to compelling products. "There's lots of project development, there's lots of stuff going on, but I don't see products being made," he said. "The solution is using government data as simply one ingredient in larger products."
For example, local agencies generate lists of swimming pools that have failed inspection. But in order for the data to be useful as a lead list for pool cleaners, it needs to be combined with additional information like descriptions of the facility where the pool is located and phone numbers for building superintendents. "There's stuff way beyond what we're at," O'Neil said, "and there's not enough people thinking beyond stuff that's published by governments as open data."
Still, he said, the business case for open data is there. "Open data provides raw fodder for the creation of new and interesting products. The challenge is to make it sustainable, and I haven't seen anybody win on this yet — to make that data more valuable through other means, by mashing it up with other data sets, by integrating it with existing commercial products. By really having businesses work hard at figuring out how they can monetize this stuff."
Despite the challenges, O'Neil encourages governments to embrace open data. "The reason it's worth publishing open data is because it is a component of a larger trend that feeds into the big data movement, it feeds into the overall efficiencies that you can have when you use data in decision-making," he said. "There's no reason not to publish lots of open data if you're a government, because it's just a very good practice so that people can know more and people can make tools and interested residents can use the data to make their lives better. So it's absolutely worth it, we just have to do more and more."

Setting Parameters in a Subscription
When you define a subscription to a parameterized report, you can specify parameter values to use during subscription processing. You can only specify parameters in a subscription to reports that run on demand. When you subscribe to a parameterized report that runs as a snapshot, your subscription must use the parameter values defined for the snapshot.
Data-driven subscriptions can use parameter values that are obtained from a subscriber data source. For more information, see Using an External Data Source for Subscriber Data.
Specifying Subscription Parameters for On-Demand Reports
If a report runs on demand and it takes a parameter, you can define which parameter value to use during subscription processing. This parameter value can be different from those used to run the report on demand or in other scheduled operations. For example, suppose you have a Call Service report that uses a Time Period parameter to return customer service requests for the current day, week, or month. If the default parameter value for the report is set to today, your subscription can use a different parameter value (such as week or month) to produce a report that contains weekly or monthly figures.
Parameters for Report Snapshots
Parameterized reports that run as report snapshots use the parameter values defined for the report snapshot. Parameter values are defined in the parameter properties page of the report. Your subscription cannot override a parameter value that is defined for a snapshot. For example, suppose you are subscribing to a Western regional sales report that runs as a report snapshot, and the snapshot specifies Western as a regional parameter value. In this case, if you create a subscription to this report, you must use the parameter value Western in your subscription.
To provide a visual indication that the parameter is ignored, the parameter fields on the subscription page are set to read-only fields.
If you change a parameter value in the report snapshot after the subscription is defined, the report server deactivates the subscription. Deactivating the subscription indicates that the report has been modified. To activate the subscription, open and then save the subscription.

Tribal Group Lauds High Court's Health Care Ruling (Jun 29, 2012)
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A national tribal advocacy group is praising the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that essentially upholds President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
The National Congress of American Indians says Thursday's ruling affirms the permanent reauthorization of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act that passed with Obama's Affordable Care Act.
NCAI President Jefferson Keel says the decision is an important step for Indian Country. According to the organization, American Indians and Alaska Natives have disproportionately high rates of health problems, including heart disease, diabetes and substance abuse.
The Indian Health Care Improvement Act authorizes new and expanded efforts to improve the health of indigenous people, including programs addressing health professional shortages, dialysis services, urban Indian health, Indian veterans and behavioral health.
The health care improvement act was last reauthorized in 2000.

The David O. Selznick Collection: Kenneth Turan's DVD pick
If you know David O. Selznick's name, you probably think of him as the man behind "Gone With the Wind." But even before that classic, he was one of Hollywood's top producers, and Kino Classics, in collaboration with the George Eastman House, is releasing a series of his best-known films called the Selznick Collection.
Top of the list is "A Star Is Born." This is not the celebrated Judy Garland version but an earlier, 1937 edition of this inside-Hollywood story starring Janet Gaynor and Frederick March and directed by William Wellman.
Another Wellman film, also starring March, is 1937's caustic screwball comedy "Nothing Sacred," in which the actor plays a cynical reporter (is there any other kind?) who interacts with a lively lady played by the great Carole Lombard.
Having more literary origins is 1932's "A Farewell to Arms," starring Gary Cooper and Helen Hayes and taken from the Ernest Hemingway novel of World War I. The director is Frank Borzage, one of the screen's peerless romantics.
Finally, there is King Vidor's "Bird of Paradise," starring Joel McCrea and Delores Del Rio. This is the kind of film where a footloose sailor in the South Pacific falls in love with the lovely daughter of a fierce island chief. Throw in a volcano and a Max Steiner score and you're in business.

San Jule's main technique, however, was more straightforward—schmoozing. He was able to bring people together because he knew everyone—mayor after mayor (Shelley, Alioto, Feinstein); architects, landscape architects, and planners; men of high finance; everyone at Washington Street Bar & Grill; writers, intellectuals, and newspaper reporters.
"He was very good at getting people together and getting things done," his son Steve San Jule recalls. "He was direct, right to the point. He'd stare at you, and you knew you had to come well prepared or he'd eat you alive."
Often enough, San Jule succeeded. San Francisco is dotted with housing and mixed-use developments he inspired or pushed to completion, including the Golden Gateway redevelopment of the early 1960s, Tishman's 1,300-unit Fillmore Center on Fillmore Street near Geary Boulevard, Franklin Square near St. Mary's Cathedral, and the Central Waterfront, which is only today seeing the sort of development San Jule began pushing 30 years ago.
Through it all, his motivation was never money.
Chappell groups San Jule with 'the housers,' socially progressive planners, architects, and activists who grew up during the New Deal. "He was motivated by social concerns."
In 1999, when SPUR gave San Jule its Silver Spur award, the group cited his responsibility for more than 3,000 units of housing in the city—a significant understatement, even leaving out the Central Waterfront.
According to Koshland, who met San Jule in 1950, shortly after he joined Eichler, and married him in 1954, it was San Jule's experience with Eichler that made housing his career. But San Jule had already learned by personal experience that decent housing was important and that integrated housing worked.
He spent his impressionable years of 17 and 18 homeless, and during the early years of World War II lived in one of the very few integrated housing projects anywhere in the country—Marin City in Sausalito.
"A completely successful example of a non-segregated housing project," the magazine Task said. Task was a planning and architecture magazine whose contributors included many progressive designers including, for one article, San Jule's soon-to-be friend, architect Bob Anshen.
San Jule also may have had two other significant exposures to social housing issues pre-Eichler.
San Jule told his two sons from his first marriage, Pete and Steve, that he'd worked with John Steinbeck, in the days before The Grapes of Wrath, on reports about the 'Hooverville' migrant camps that sprang up in California to accommodate Dust Bowl immigrants, who slept beneath what Steinbeck described as filthy rugs in shanties of "willow branches" and "wattling weeds."
Steinbeck's reportage, published in newspapers and pamphlets, was fodder for a San Francisco nonprofit, the Lubin Society, that sought tougher laws against labor exploitation and for federal housing, in Steinbeck's words, "to restore the dignity and decency that had been kicked out of the migrants by their intolerable mode of life."
Publications of the Steinbeck material do not credit San Jule. But whether he worked with Steinbeck or not—and, given his interests and the progressive circles in which he moved, San Jule may have been involved with the Lubin Society—the fact that he bragged about his involvement shows he was focused on the issue of farm-worker housing.

A few more autograph tales.
Here's a few more autograph stories…
This guy is just sick…how many players have been doing it this good for so long? Not too many.
I think it was 1997 when I met Mr. Rivera in downtown Milwaukee. My brother and I went on a quest to get his Tino Martinez Yankees game bat signed outside the Yankees team hotel. Who did we see walking with Tino down the street in downtown Milwaukee? Mariano freakin' Rivera. I always keep a baseball with me-you never know who you will run into!
BTW, I've only gone to team hotels for autographs a handful of times. I was younger and more intrusive. I no longer personally feel that's a proper place to obtain autographs (to each his/her own, I guess).
My appreciation for "yesterday's heroes" is great. Think about what these guys went through over the course of their baseball careers.
1. Low salaries
2. Lesser accomodations
3. Few endorsements
4. Off-season jobs
5. MILITARY DUTY!!! There was a World War going on, you know. Mr. Feller actually enlisted after Pearl Harbor was attacked. He missed 4 seasons during the prime of his career as a result of his service to his country. Now that's a real American hero.
"Rapid Robert" was just awesome. Apparently, his fastball was once clocked at over 104 mph!
With all the steroid talk going on, Bob Feller believes there should be a separate Hall of Fame for all the "drug losers."
Still going strong at the age of 90, he was talking politics with me the day I was able to get this baseball signed. I think it was before the election of 2000. If my memory serves me well, he told me to get out and vote. What a great guy.
Yeah, that Leslie Nielsen! I love his movies. This guy is hilarious. My wife and I met him at the Vincent T. Lombardi Golf Classic held annually in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. My wife and I have volunteered for this event in the past and were able to meet Mr. Nielsen because of this.
How can you not love the "Naked Gun" movies?
This guy is really a jag, but he sure could play baseball.
So, I'm walking around (more like gawking around) Peoria Sports Complex during Spring Training of 1999. I hear a cell phone ring in front of me and a very large man answers it, "Reggie." I think to myself, Reggie? Holy crap, Reggie Jackson! So, I pull the baseball pictured below out of my backpack and proceeded to get it inked by the dufus pictured to the left. And he didn't even charge me for his autograph! Lol.

SUNNYVALE, Calif. (AP) -- Intertrust Technologies Corp. has filed a lawsuit against Apple Inc., saying Wednesday that the iPhone and iPad maker infringes on 15 of its patents.
Founded in 1990, Intertrust develops and licenses software and technology to help entertainment and media companies protect copyrights. The Silicon Valley company is a private joint venture owned by Sony, Philips and financial firm Stephens Inc.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California, covers a broad range of Apple products. These include the iPhone and iPad, Mac computers, iTunes, the App Store and other technologies.
Apple declined to comment.
Technology companies from Apple to Samsung to Google to businesses that exist solely to license patents have ratcheted up patent lawsuits in recent years. The big tech companies use patents as a weapon to beat down competitors.
Shares of Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple fell $2.34 to $452.15 in afternoon trading.

Mehmet Eryigit is the last farmer of Rumeli Hisari. He came to Istanbul from a village near Trabzon on the Black Sea in 1967, when he was still a little boy. His father opened a butcher's shop in Rumeli Hisari.
"My father used to say, 'I learned to be a butcher from the Armenians'. We, for example, are kaba (artless, unsophisticated) butchers; we cut and tear the meat to pieces. The Armenians taught my father how to cut meat properly. Most of my father's clients were Armenians. […] One day they told him about the house in the Armenian cemetery and asked him if he wanted to stay there."
Though the area above the village was in those days inhabited by wolves rather than human beings, the family moved to what was to become the upper village of Hisari (Hisar Ustu) in 1977. Back then, it was a settlement of about 15 farms. As migration from the Turkish hinterland to Istanbul increased in the 1970s, more and more Anatolian migrants arrived. Mehmet remembers the first settlements:
"The first gecekondus were set up in the bushes […]. People started settling little by little, they enclosed some land, then brought their relatives from the villages, and that's how we came to this."
Mehmet still uses the land of the Armenian cemetery, looks after the cemetery itself (still in use) and sells honey and the milk from his seven cows. Surrounded by former gecekondus, the graveyards lie next to a vegetable garden and a meadow with trees full of peaches, cherries, mulberries, nuts and hazelnuts.

Instagram backtracks on some changes
Photo-sharing application Instagram has lost nearly half its daily users in a month after publishing updated terms and conditions which said it would have the right to sell users' photos without notifying them.
Following an instant backlash among social media users, Instagram quickly backtracked on its earlier statement, saying that sweeping changes was not what it intended.
Instagram, which was purchased by Facebook for US$700 million in cash and shares last April, added that it was not their intention "to sell your photos".
But the damage was already done, with many users' threatening to quit using application.
And it appears they have stuck to it – new figures reveal Instagram's active daily users – the highest frequency user group – has dropped to 8.42 million this week, from 16.35 million on December 17, the day the controversial news broke, the New York Post reported.
The statistics were compiled by AppStats, which measures app usage by tracking users who are logged into Instagram via Facebook.
AppStats CEO Sebastian Sujka told The New York Post: "The main loss will be most likely due to the terms of service changes, given how much attention and controversy the terms of service change has brought, and seeing how clearly the Instagram app dropped after the terms of service change."
Facebook has described the findings as "inaccurate".
"We continue to see strong and steady growth in both registered and active users of Instagram," Facebook said in a statement.
It appears that some changes to the application will still take place on January 16.

Committee Opinion Number 495, July 2011
(Reaffirmed 2019)
ABSTRACT: During pregnancy, severe maternal vitamin D deficiency has been associated with biochemical evidence of disordered skeletal homeostasis, congenital rickets, and fractures in the newborn. At this time, there is insufficient evidence to support a recommendation for screening all pregnant women for vitamin D deficiency. For pregnant women thought to be at increased risk of vitamin D deficiency, maternal serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels can be considered and should be interpreted in the context of the individual clinical circumstance. When vitamin D deficiency is identified during pregn...

Microsoft clarifies open source position for gaming console peripheral
Since the start of this year, developer newswires and discussion forums have been richly populated with discussion over whether Microsoft is about to open source the SDK underpinning its Kinect for Xbox360 "controller-free gaming and entertainment experience" peripheral.
Attendees at the company's recent Microsoft Mix '11 web and multimedia developer event reportedly overheard Kristin Tolle, director of the Microsoft Research natural user interface team, confirm that open sourcing of the SDK was going ahead.
Founder of the OpenKinect community Joshua Blake has said that Microsoft had previously announced its plans to make the Kinect for Windows SDK available this Spring, initially for non-commercial use and later for commercial use. Blake then Tweeted celebrated ZDNet journalist Mary-Jo Foley to highlight Tolle's comments at Mix.
"During a Q&A after a session on Day 3 at Mix, Blake reported that Tolle said (twice) that Microsoft planned to open-source the Kinect SDK – the non-commercial version of which is due out in beta form "this spring," wrote Foley.
Foley continued, "It wasn't clear whether Tolle meant all of the Kinect SDK, or just parts of it. However, it turns out Microsoft isn't open-sourcing the Kinect SDK, after all – at least according to what Microsoft officials told me this afternoon. There was no explanation for Tolle's reported comments."
Foley finally received a clarifying statement from a Kinect SDK team spokesperson: "Kinect for Windows SDK will not be made available as open source. We are not releasing any source of the SDK, the SDK is in binary. The intent is to allow use of the SDK only to facilitate non-commercial ***a***experimentation with the Kinect functionality."
Whatever the future holds for Kinect, Microsoft has (over the last 18 months at least) open sourced most of its community developed projects and technologies via the Outercurve Foundation – the not-for-profit software IP management and project development organization.

Here's the trailer for Star Trek Online's first major content update, in which the Borg decide to give the whole Borg Queen thing another try, since it worked out so well the last time.
It's good to see Cryptic making good on its promise of regular updates to the Star Trek Online, seeing as the game hasn't been live for even a month and there's a hefty helping of new stuff to do for Captains far more accomplished than I am. I just hope they can keep it up. The way the game is structured currently, space is already filled with countless Admirals. Where can they go from Admiral?

Intel Wolfdale color-enhanced die-shot.
Processors come in various revisions as the manufacturers test and modify the circuits that comprise the finished product. The previous Wolfdale stepping, C0, was introduced with all previous versions of the E8xxx, E7xxx, and Q9xxx series processors. If you need a quick refresher on what was introduced with the original 45nm processors, check out Nate's Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Processor Review.
The differences between the C0 and E0 steppings aren't much on paper. There is a new function called the Power Status Indicator that will let motherboards drop their VRM down from a multi-phase circuit to a single-phase circuit to save power when at idle. There were also two additional instructions added to the instruction set, XSAVE and XRSTOR, neither of which are world changing. This stepping also features a step towards being green with the introduction of a halide-free package, just another step towards being cleaner like the move to lead-free processors. So, since the processors are electrically, mechanically, and thermally identical to the C0 stepping, why do they deserve a brief review? Simply, it's all about that need for speed and the E8600 delivers.

Today "every company is in the software business."
This is a quote aptly put by Forrester Research, reflecting how in the modern digital era business strategies are being dominated by the demand for application development and more agility.
For businesses seeking a 'first to market' product or a competitive edge there is no longer time for deliberation and prolonged testing. High-speed experimentation is the only solution and this is why today every company is in the software business, as innovation and differentiation don't come from neatly packaged off-the-shelf solutions.
To get an indication of how businesses are tackling this issue, OutSystems conducted a comprehensive survey of more than 3,500 IT professionals across a range of industries around the world.

BRUCEVILLE-EDDY, Texas -- A San Antonio woman on a Greyhound bus was arrested Monday for stabbing an older woman as the bus passed through Bruceville-Eddy on I-35 northbound near Mile Marker 317.
Reshunda Denise Pickens, 32, was booked into the McLennan County Jail and charged with aggravated assault, according to police and online jail records. She was being held Tuesday morning on $10,000 bond.
She was sitting next to the older victim on the bus around 12:30 a.m. Monday, according to Bruceville-Eddy Police Chief Bill McLean. According to McLean, Pickens had moved to try to ask the older woman questions. The older woman was Hispanic and did not speak English, causing her to be unable to answer the questions, McLean said. Pickens grew frustrated that the woman did not answer and stabbed her 3-4 times in the abdomen with a 4 and 1/2 inch knife, according to McLean.
The older woman was transported to Hillcrest Hospital in Waco, where she was in stable condition Tuesday.

Energy company a longtime supporter of economy-wide cap-and-trade legislation
CHICAGO (June 26, 2009) - Exelon today praised the U.S. House of Representatives for its passage of the American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES) sponsored by Chairman Henry A. Waxman of the Energy and Commerce Committee and Chairman Edward J. Markey of the Energy and Environment Subcommittee.
"Addressing climate change is one of the most compelling causes of our time, and we applaud the House for taking bold and decisive action to pass this pragmatic and balanced legislation," said John W. Rowe, chairman and CEO of Exelon. "Chairmen Waxman and Markey, along with Representative Boucher and Speaker Pelosi, have crafted a bill that balances the need to protect consumers, business and the economy with the urgent need to reduce our nation's greenhouse gas emissions."
Exelon is particularly pleased that free allowances will be allocated to local utilities to help mitigate the impact of increased prices on consumers.
"This bill protects Americans' pocketbooks during the transition to a low-carbon economy by allocating a significant percentage of emissions allowances to local utilities. Utilities will use the proceeds from these allowances to help customers affected by higher energy prices through rebates, low-income assistance, customer energy-efficiency programs and other measures," Rowe said.
Exelon also thanked House Representatives for their support of this bill that will protect the nation's economy and American families' budgets and jobs, while preserving the environment for future generations.
"Addressing climate change is one of the most compelling causes of our time," added Rowe. "We encourage members of the Senate to follow the bold and decisive action of the House to work on passing similarly comprehensive climate change legislation during this Congress."

Tanaka feels 'relieved' after light throwing session
NEW YORK -- As expected, Masahiro Tanaka took the next step in his road to recovery Monday when he threw for the first time since getting injured July 8 in a start against Cleveland.
Tanaka threw 25 pitches from 60 feet on flat ground in the outfield and said everything felt normal. The throwing session was exactly three weeks after Tanaka received a platelet-rich plasma injection, which the team hoped would promote healing of his partially torn ulnar collateral ligament.
Tanaka said he didn't feel anything in his elbow Monday, and the Yankees' plan is to have him throw lightly again Tuesday with the intent to build him back slowly, increasing both his number of throws and the distance.
"I wasn't worried, I think I was more excited to be able to throw," said Tanaka through an interpreter. "I think I got to the next step, so I'm every relieved about that."
Tanaka, avoiding season-ending Tommy John surgery, decided to rest and hopes to return in six weeks, though it is more likely he comes back to the team in September.
"You look at it as a start, really," said Yankees manager Joe Girardi. "Obviously, if there was discomfort, that would be very discouraging. So, it is a positive day. But there's still a long way to go, and you've got to plow through. He knows what he needs to do."
Whether Tanaka has made the right decision will be determined over the course of the month. But Monday was positive, since no pain was reported.
"It's hard to say, it's hard to make any assessment on that," Tanaka said of his decision to return this season.

So that's one thing he was actually telling the truth about: there are new scenes where he's dead.
"Look, I'm not in the show anymore. I'm definitely not in the new series," Harington told Time Out London when asked about all those pesky sightings of him on and around the Belfast set. "I filmed some scenes of me being dead – it's some of my best work."
So he's dead in the trailer. But for how long?
U.S. & World
"I think anyone who wants to know what happens in season six has to wait until it comes out," Harington said during an appearance on a BBC morning show. "All I can tell you is Jon Snow is dead. He died at the end of last season."
Returning cast members for more Westeros drama include Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Alfie Allen, Diana Rigg, Natalie Dormer, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, John Bradley, Isaac Hempstead Wright, Conleth Hill, Jonathan Pryce and Gwendoline Christie.
"Game of Thrones" returns to HBO on Sunday, April 24.

California's two giant pension funds reported healthy rates of return Monday for the just-ended fiscal year.
That is sure to embolden the state's public employee unions in their battle against pension reform.
CalSTRS reported a 23 percent gain, while CalPers reported just under a 21 percent return. That's the best gain in years and represents a significant turnaround from the losses since the economy took a dive.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Those numbers come amid the backdrop of efforts by Republican groups to qualify pension overhaul measures for the 2012 ballot.
Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, (D) Sacramento, tells Prop Zero he thinks the legislature can do meaningful reform, instead of leaving it to the ballot.
But he remains opposed to the market-based retirement system used by the private sector.
"We can get a lot done legislatively. As far as switching to a 401K-style plan for new employees, I'm open to experimenting with that on a voluntary basis," Steinberg said. "But we need to look at double-dipping, spiking, air time, and a right way to impose caps."
Steinberg said he remains a strong believer in the current system of defined benefits, but is convinced "reasonable" reforms can be made.
What Republicans define as "reasonable" is another matter, of course. They pushed, during recent budget talks with Governor Brown, to scale back future benefits, but were unable to close a deal.
"We'll always continue to work with Republicans," Steinberg said. "But we will govern with or without them."

I live in Japan. Japan, according to this poll, is not having much fun on the internet. I grew up in the United States, which is so-so for online amusement. It's fun, sure, but not everyone is having a good time.
But which country is having the most fun online? And what the hell does "fun" mean? As website Tech in Asia pointed out, the Ipsos Global Public Affairs polled interviewed users in 24 countries to see what percentage entertained themselves online and how they entertained themselves online — you know, had fun on the internet.
China came in first for downloading and streaming movies/TV, downloading and streaming music, and playing video games online.
Neighbouring Japan brought up the rear in all categories. No fun!
The differences are related to not only how quickly people are adopting to internet use, but also to regulations within the country. If you can see lots of stuff online for free with few penalties, you bet internet fun will skyrocket.
Click through the above gallery to see where your country came in. If you'd like to know about the number of individuals polled, you can find that in the link below.

Veteran comic Gary Gulman returns to COMEDY CENTRAL in the network television premiere of GARY GULMAN: IN THIS ECONOMY, debuting tonight, December 8 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.
Gulman takes on the absurd realities of living in a financial crisis with his all-new stand-up special. In front of a live audience at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston, he gives the kind of financial tips one can't get from Wall Street, explains how constantly watching movies helps save money, puts millionaires in perspective, and imagines a conversation between Bill Gates and Donald Trump.

Gulman got his big break as a runner-up on NBC's "Last Comic Standing," and then joined Dane Cook and Robert Kelly on HBO's Tourgasm.

His critically-acclaimed digital album on COMEDY CENTRAL Records called "No Can Defend" was recorded in at the Metropolitan Room in New York City and was released in June. TheLaughButton.com stated "Gulman's style lies somewhere between Jerry Seinfeld and Woody Allen, let's call it observational-neurotic."
Gulman also has starred in COMEDY CENTRAL's "Premium Blend," the COMEDY CENTRAL one-hour special "Gary Gulman: Boyish Man," "Showtime Presents Gary Gulman," and "Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen." He has performed at events including the NASCAR Year End Banquet, New York Comedy Festival, HBO's Las Vegas Comedy Festival, Just for Laughs Montreal International Comedy Festival and Just For Laughs Gala in Canada, as well as at over 100 colleges including Yale, Harvard, Boston College, Tulane, Villanova, Boston University, NYU, UCLA, Ohio State, Texas Christian University, Brandeis and MIT.

FARMINGTON — A Somersworth man who was shot last Friday in an incident on Meetinghouse Hill Road that still carries much mystery was ordered held Wednesday on $100,000 cash bail out of Rochester Circuit Court. Farmington police say a North Berwick, Maine, man will also be charged in this strange case and a third arrest is "imminent."
Stephen Roy, 24, of 4 Lords Court, Somersworth, was arrested Tuesday night at his home and charged with robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery, both of which have been deemed Class A felonies.
Police Chief Kevin Willey confirmed Roy was one of two men who suffered a gunshot wound last Friday. Willey said Roy was treated at York Hospital in Maine for a gunshot wound to the head before he was released from the hospital in stable condition. Officials at the time said the man was uncooperative and unwilling to provide details on what led to his injury.
Farmington police say Joshua E. Dionne, 27, of 34 Market Street, Apt. B, North Berwick, Maine, will also be charged with robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery for his alleged involvement in the incident. Dionne is currently being held on a parole violation at York County Jail and a warrant is forthcoming from the Farmington Police Department for him to be charged with being a fugitive from justice. Willey said from there, Dionne will be arraigned in Maine and await extradition back to New Hampshire where his charges related to the Farmington crime will go into effect.
According to a Police Department press release, a third suspect in the Friday incident has been identified and an arrest warrant is forthcoming. In Rochester Circuit Court during Roy's arraignment Wednesday morning, Judge Daniel Cappiello identified Roy's "co-conspirator" as Matthew Roaf, with no address provided. Willey said he could not comment on Roaf's alleged involvement and would not reveal details regarding the third suspect in this case at this time.
During Roy's video arraignment broadcast from the Strafford County House of Corrections, Assistant County Attorney Tim Sullivan said Roy has a "lengthy criminal history" where he has violated his parole numerous times in the past and served jail time. If Roy posts his cash bail, a number of other conditions will be imposed on him including that he wear a GPS tracking bracelet through the Community Corrections program, that he have no contact with a number of people including Dionne and Roaf, that he follow a 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew seven days a week and that he not enter the premises of 316 Meetinghouse Hill Road, where the shooting incident occurred.
Roy has also been ordered upon his release to refrain from illicit drug use, possessing weapons, firearms or ammunition, and to avoid excessive alcohol use.
Last Friday, authorities investigated two incidents not known to be related at the time when Roy checked himself into York Hospital with a gunshot wound to the head and around the same time, another man, identified only as being 21 years of age, checked himself into Portsmouth Regional Hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest. That man was later transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. Police said Roy would not release any information and the 21-year-old in Portsmouth told investigators he was shot while riding a four-wheeler near power lines in Barrington.
Farmington police said they were not contacted about this case until Saturday, when interviews by other police departments led officials to believe the shooting occurred in Farmington. It is unknown what happened at the 316 Meetinghouse Hill Road property, though Willey said the shooting occurred sometime in the early afternoon. He would not release details, including why authorities are charging Roy and Dionne with robbery, citing an active and ongoing investigation.
In court, Sullivan listed a myriad of Roy's previous crimes including one time in 2009 where he violated the terms of his parole by failing a drug court program and was sentenced to serve a 1� to 3 year prison sentence at a New Hampshire house of corrections. Other crimes listed included numerous counts of simple assault, fraudulent use of a credit card, possession of controlled drugs, possession of marijuana, stalking, criminal mischief, criminal threatening, resisting arrest, disobeying a police officer and driving under the influence, all recorded from 2007 to 2011.
Sullivan noted Roy had been reviewed by the Community Corrections program this time around and was determined to be of flight risk and a danger to the community.
During a brief recess as officials worked to set up the video arraignment, those seated in the Rochester courtroom heard Roy ask the bailiff at the county jail if he could pass along a message to his mother through the television monitor.
"Will I get in trouble …?" he asked.
A woman seated in the courtroom burst into tears as a woman next to her put her arms around her and said, "He knows we're here." After an inaudible response from the bailiff, Roy sat quietly with his head in his hands, exhaling loudly.
As Judge Capiello told Roy he would uphold the county attorney's recommendation for $100,000 cash bail, Roy told the judge he believed the charges would be Class B felonies and not Class A. Capiello explained due to the circumstances surrounding the incident, the level of the charges had been elevated.
Roy will next face a probable cause hearing on Jan. 24.
