Nissan, Renault form $5.4 billion alliance
29 March 1999
Louis Schweitzer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Renault, and Yoshikazu Hanawa, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nissan Motor Co., jointly announced a partnership agreement between Renault and Nissan. The agreement, signed on 27 March 1999, will create the fourth largest automaker in the world.
Renault will make a major contribution to reduce Nissan's indebtedness, estimated at more than 2 trillion yen (US$16.7 billion). Renault is going to invest 605 billion yen (approximately 4.7 billion euros / FRF 31 billion / US$ 5.1 billion), by taking a 36.8% equity stake (and corresponding voting rights) in Nissan Motor Co., by means of a reserved capital increase at Y 400 per share, and a 22.5% stake in Nissan Diesel. Nissan Motor will keep an identical equity participation to that of Renault in Nissan Diesel.
Nissan has the option of taking a stake in Renault's share capital at a later date.
A mutual agreement should allow Renault to purchase Nissan's European financial subsidiaries, for a total of approximately 294 million euros (FRF 1.9 billion / Y38 billion / US$320 million).
In order to strengthen Nissan's management and ensure the return to profit for the year ending 31 March 2001, Carlos Ghosn, currently Executive Vice President of Renault, will be appointed Chief Operating Officer of Nissan. All the Executive Vice Presidents of the company will report to him. In addition, two executives from Renault are appointed to the Board of Directors of Nissan: Patrick Plata, currently Senior Vice President, Vehicle Development of Renault, is appointed Executive Vice President, Product Planning and Strategy of Nissan. Thierry Moulonguet, currently Vice President, Capital Expenditure Controller of Renault, is appointed Managing Director, Deputy Chief Financial Officer of Nissan.
It also has been decided to propose the appointment of Yoshikazu Hanawa, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nissan Motor Co., to the Renault Board of Directors.
Nissan Motor Co, founded in 1933, is the number-two automaker in Japan. In the fiscal year ended March 1998, Nissan recorded operating revenues of 6,564.6 billion yen (50.9 billion euros / FRF 334 billion / US$ 55.5 billion). In fiscal year ended March 1998, Nissan produced 2,754,598 vehicles, consisting of 2,264,388 passenger cars and 490,210 light commercial vehicles, and held a 20.4% market share in Japan.
Nissan has business operations in a range of fields, including aerospace, industrial machinery, marine products and its core automotive operations. The company manufactures and assembles vehicles at 22 overseas companies in 18 countries. Nissan has R&D centres in Japan, the USA and Europe.
Renault, established in 1898, had revenues of 37.2 billion euros (FRF 243.9 billion / Y 4,794 billion / US$ 40.6 billion) in 1998. In 1998, Renault produced 2,283,265 vehicles, including 1,942,733 passenger cars, 254,662 light commercial vehicles and 85,870 trucks and buses.
Renault was nationalized in 1945 and privatized in 1996. Its share capital is owned 55.8% by private shareholders and 44.2% by the French State. In the commercial vehicles sector, the Renault V.I. group includes Mack Trucks, which covers 13% of the US market. Renault V.I. is the third largest group in the world for vehicles over 16 tons.

Minutes from the last meeting at Lincoln Station 14 read and approved.
Treasurers report from October read. Motion to approve as read by Crete second by Southeast.
Dan has received Some calls on the EMT-B class through Lincoln. It will probably happen after January 1. Doug Ahlberg introduced Doug Ostergaard from D & D Communications. He brought some UHF radios for us to look at and gave us an idea of the proposal he made for Waverly that could work for the whole county if we decide on UHF. Our low band antenna should be moved from the City/County building tower to the 14th and Military tower in the next month.
Doug is receiving $ 3,470,000 of the State of Nebraska's First Responder money to be used for communications equipment. A committee was formed with representatives from LFR, Mutual Aid, LPD, LSO and UNLPD. This will be used for a portable trailer, tower and repeaters for every radio frequency used by these agencies that can be set up anywhere in case of failure of the existing towers or a need for more specific coverage. They will also be equipped with 20 handhelds so it can be taken and used at large incidents. The money will also be used for repeaters at the hospitals so handhelds will be able to transmit from inside the hospital, PPE and monitoring equipment for the Law Enforcement agencies and the Health Department that don't normally have them. The Bureau of Fire Prevention has also requesting a robot loaded with monitoring devices.
Doug also said that the First Responder money for 2003 isn't out of the Senate yet. This should include about 11 to 14 million for Lancaster County. The Leops are starting to be delivered. Doug also brought the Mobile Command Post for everyone to look at. Eric Rasmussen reported on the NSVFA convention. Next years convention at South Sioux City hosted by Dakota City. The new President is Buck Bassett from Ogallala. Eric says the Forest Service is a prime prospect for being eliminated due to the UNL budget cuts.

Cost to members $65.00 Non members $ 80.00 Eric will keep us updated.

WASHINGTON — Just four blocks from the White House is the headquarters of the Employment Policies Institute, a widely quoted economic research center whose academic reports have repeatedly warned that increasing the minimum wage could be harmful, increasing poverty and unemployment.
But something fundamental goes unsaid in the institute's reports: The nonprofit group is run by a public relations firm that also represents the restaurant industry, as part of a tightly coordinated effort to defeat the minimum wage increase that the White House and Democrats in Congress have pushed for.
"The vast majority of economic research shows there are serious consequences," Michael Saltsman, the institute's research director, said in an interview, before he declined to list the restaurant chains that were among its contributors.
(Read more: Minimum wage debate insane, says 'Mr. Wonderful')
The campaign illustrates how groups — conservative and liberal — are again working in opaque ways to shape hot-button political debates, like the one surrounding minimum wage, through organizations with benign-sounding names that can mask the intentions of their deep-pocketed patrons.

Chuck Ogbogu passes away
Stepinac Varsity - 2009 Season
Posted Tuesday, May 19, 2009 by Thomas Moore
Thomas More player dies
Thomas More linebacker Chuck Ogbogu passed away early Friday, March 21. The preliminary autopsy report, according to the New York Daily News, was that he died of cardiac arrest. He was 26.
A native of Tarrytown, N.Y., Ogbogu played at Archbishop Stepinac High School where he played alongside his brother Eric, now a member of the Cincinnati Bengals, for one season. He was named All-League, All-State, was the New York State Player of the Year and won the High School Heisman Award. As a senior, he totaled over 2,200 yards rushing and had 28 touchdowns.
After a season in community college on Long Island and several years off, Ogbogu began the 2001 season as a tailback at Thomas More before being moved to linebacker midway through the season. He totaled eight carries for 44 yards as a sophomore and made one assisted tackle. Ogbogu started the first game of 2002 against Muskingum at outside linebacker, making two solo tackles in the Saints' 25-6 victory. He played in four games last season, totaling three tackles, including one for loss.
"It inspiring as to how many people he has touched within the college community, not just football players but the entire campus," said head coach Dean Paul. "He demonstrated the ideal that we want all of our student-athletes to possess and that is to have balance both on the field and off."
There will be a memorial service for Ogbogu on Thursday, March 27 at 5:00 p.m. on the Thomas More campus.

I love the photos with nice big rays of sun shining through, it brings a nice warm fuzzy feeling to see those big warm beams of light in the sky, peeking out from behind all those dark clouds.

Hi, I just wanted to tell you I so loved your rendition of the Hwy. 61 piece – very awesome. I'm addicted to it. I had to listen to Dylan's version and I like yours best. I never even heard his version. I'll check out some of your other music.
All the best to you, Moria
Amy Lopez
Saw your show at The Kessler last night. It was mesmerizing, like nothing I've ever heard before. I loved it. You rock!
I would love to see you showcased in the next Aurora Dallas light and sound art installation.
And thanks for shushing the couple sitting next to me. They were loud and rude.
Hope to see you again around town.

text: So I bought a "new" PowerMac G4. I have two already. The guy said it was running os 9 but now it wouldn't boot. I figured it needed an OS and the guy was wrong. I try to boot it up... flashing ? folder So I go thru all hell trying to install os x and what not. It won't boot to the install CD. I finally got it to boot from my other Powermac's HD with OS X on it, but I can't seem to install OS X on this other HD, but that's not really what I'm asking here... When I startup the PM and hold Option, nothing happens with either HD installed!!! No boot menu comes up. Also when I hold down C, nothing happens at least nothing different. It doesn't boot to the CD. Why is this? Sometimes it seems to boot to my HD OS X and sometimes it boots to the CD on it's own. I can't choose what I want it to boot to unless I start the OS X and select it from there. Thank in advance.

Drew Brees
They have had success in the decade since. The Dolphins? Not so much
Since then we've seen:
Joey Harrington
Daunte Culpepper
John Beck
Cleo Lemon
Trent Green
Both Chads (you know the hanging one and the pregnant one - probably a bad election joke!)
Tyler Thigpen
Matt Moore
And of course the current guy (Turd McFerguson)
And all of them. ALL of them. Have sucked.
And to think we coulda had Brees. Screw you Nick Saban and everyone since who couldn't even be handed a good QB.
20 comments
Turd mcferguson? Check Bree's first three or four year stats when he was in San Diego before Phil rivers got drafted. .....yeah I thought so. Worse than Tannyhill. Try again....you failed.
Ray, let me dumb it down for you, Bree's didn't thrive until he went to a good coaching scenario, Sean Payton is a great offensive mind. Could Tannyhill improve? Sure , he needs better pocket awareness, and protection. But stop with your whiny gloom and doom , give Gase tutelage of our qb a chance. Bree's would be injured and out of the league if he played for the traitor Saban and mouth breathing Cameron and Philbin. Learn football or take up porn.
Yeah Dave. Okay. Pennington is an exception. But he came here because of a brain fart by the jets and was only healthy for one year, so not much to draw on.
Kelly - stats are nice, but they're ultimately meaningless. Lets look at the w-l in their first four years:
Turd mcferguson
Now lets look at 4th quarter comebacks in those first 4 years
Brees 9 (yes nine!)
Turd 0
Bada Bing! Bree's is the better QB. Case closed.
That is nonsense. We did not "pass" on Drew Breeze. He didn't want to come here. Ask his agent. Who cares about these non-DOLPHIN stories. Ray stick to kicking stories or at least get your story right. By the way, Cody Parkey said the laces were in too.
Nice spin Ray, but Bree's was run out of San Diego on a rail, and you saw what he did under a real organization. If he had come to Miami, he would be in a medical ward with multiple fractures. Tannyhill is a tough sob, and will succeed if given time under a competent coaching structure. I think we have that now. If you can tell me Bree's would still be healthy under the idiots we had running the team up to now, with a straight face ....be honest ....I will agree with you.
W-l records are team stats, we are talking about qb.....right? Does tannehill play defense? No......so using your win loss stats , and considering Tannyhill is the most sacked qb in the league, yeah, you kind of make my point. He is not a he problem.
Let's be clear too Ray,we are talking about the first four years...not career. Listen...think...compare...
That's 9 comebacks in 4 years.
And I stand behind it being sabans decision. Brees wanted to be in Miami.
But you are right that he wouldn't have had success here because there's a QB curse on this team. No one can succeed here. But it's fun to speculate what could have been.
Yes, San Diego....I didn't stutter. If they held on to Bree's and had a good oraganization there, Bree's would have blossomed....in San Diego ....get it now? Patience grasshopper.
Ray, seriously dude. Since Marino, Pennington and Tannehill are the only good QBs. Marino was one of a kind. I am not a huge Tannehill fan, but he is hardly the problem. I trust our coaching staff. THEY don't feel Tanny is a problem. Get over your hatred. The number of his late 4th quarter successful drives is huge. Our defense keeps giving up 2 minute touchdowns. I would say the defense has been the curse. Let it go dude
Saban said in an interview that the dolphin front office wanted Culpeper instead of brees. The coach of the fins at another time didn't draft brees. That's twice we missed on brees.

I think the decision between Brees and Culpepper came down to bad knee trumping bad shoulder.
Brees shoulder was a question mark at the time.

correct sir, brees was never supposed to get better was a long shot to fully recover but.......

The All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday inaugurated committees on constitution, manifesto/Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and legal compliance, urging them to present their reports in two weeks.
The new party mandated the Committee on Manifesto to "establish clear cardinal points as our core commitments to our people, which should include: education, eradication of corruption, uninterrupted power supply, full and gainful employment, affordable local fuel price, health care and food."
According to Chief Tom Ikimi, who announced the terms of reference and names of committees' members in Abuja, the Committee on Manifesto is expected to define clearly, the philosophical/ideological content of the APC, "distinguishing it from the other party- the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)."
The new party said the manifestos should reflect on the social, economic and political situation prevailing in the country, especially on people's plight.
Ikimi said: "Fundamentally, the manifestos should make our governments at all levels regulator governments, which will create the enabling environment for wealth creation and employment generation."
The Committee on Manifesto, he said, should propose a suitable motto and slogan for the new party.
He named Chief Audu Ogbeh, Dr. Garba Abari, Dr. Usman Bugaje, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chief Achike Udenwa, Chief Geofrey Yilleng, Alhaji Saliu Momoh, Prof. Tam David West and others as members of the 20-man committee that would select its executive members.
According to Ikimi, the assignment for the Committee on Constitution is to examine the constitutions of the merging partners in detail and analyse them.
He said the committee should examine political parties' constitutions from successful democracies with a view to adopting some suitable provisions.
The party, therefore, urged the committee to "design a robust and dependable constitution for APC, which would derive its strength from sound democratic ideals and which would deepen our nation's democracy and ensure a thriving internal party democracy."
It is also to draft a constitution, which provides adequate structure and safeguard the principle of party supremacy, provided that its provisions do not contravene the provisions of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
APC also sought a constitution that would create strong party organs and identify the relevant party positions at all levels such as would be reflective of the country's social democratic philosophy and propose a recruitment system that would ensure that competent, honest and qualified persons, who would lead the party at different levels and give it sound and credible direction were put in place.
Ikimi asked the committee to identify sustainable revenue sources for the party to make it a people-owned party.
The 20-man committee comprises Otunba Niyi Adebayo, Aremo Segun Osoba, Dr. Chris Ngige, Chief John Oyegun, Senator Akpan Udoedehe, Abdul Aziz Yari Abubakar, Prof Fabian Osuji Mrs. Lucy Ajayi and others.
Referring to the Committee on INEC and Legal Compliance, APC said: "It is to determine and examine all legal issues related to the process of merger of political pParties."
It is also to provide guidelines to the parties involved in the merger, which will ensure full compliance with the relevant laws by all the parties.
Ikimi said the committee is to liaise with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other relevant agencies to ensure a smooth consummation of the merger.
The party assigned the committee to document all understanding and /or agreements among the merging parties.
According to APC, "the committee is to submit its report to the Joint Inter-Party Merger Committee within two weeks from the date of this inauguration."
The committee is also expected to submit its report in two weeks from the date of inauguration.
Members of the 20-man committee are Pastor Ize-Iyamu, Rabia Eshak, Chief Henry Ajomale, Dr. Ibrahim Lame, Senator George Akume, Ahmed Rufai Yerima, Barrister James Ocholi (SAN) and others.
The party men at the meeting were the Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, Nasarawa State Governor, Alhaji Tanko Almakura, former Kano State Governor, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, Board of Trustee Chairman, Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Chief Audu Ogbeh, Senator George Akume, Senator Abbah Buka Ibrahim, Chairman, House Committee on Diaspora, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Elewa, ACN Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, Osita Ugochukwu and others.
The first civilian governor of Edo State and a former vice-presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Nigeria Peoples Party, (ANPP), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, yesterday said the newly formed APC has addressed the issues that led to the pitfalls of previous mergers.
Oyegun, in an interview with reporters in Benin, said the major issue the party is grappling with is to put in place a strong leadership structure to enable it wrest power from the PDP in 2015.
The Chairman of the Northern States Governors Forum (NSGF), Dr. Mu'azu Babangida Aliyu, yesterday said he supported the merger of the four opposition parties into the APC because the merger would put the ruling PDP on its toes and make it work hard towards winning the confidence of the people.
He expressed concern that PDP has been taking the winning of elections for granted from 1999 to date and if care is not taken, the new party (APC) will defeat PDP in 2015.
Aliyu, who is also the Niger State Governor, spoke when he inaugurated the newly-reconstituted state Executive Council in Minna.

The Various Haunts of Men
A woman vanishes in the fog on "the Hill", an area known locally for its tanquillity and peace. The police are not alarmed; people usually disappear for their own reasons. But when a young girl, an old man and even a dog disappear no-one can deny that something untoward is happening in this quiet cathedral town. Young policewoman Freya Graffham is assigned to the case; she's new to the job, compassionate, inquisitive, dedicated and needs to know - perhaps too much. She and the enigmatic Detective Chief Inspector Simon Serrailler have the task of unravelling the mystery behind this gruesome sequence of events. From the passages revealing the killer's mind to the final heart-stopping twist, The Various Haunts of Men is a masterly crime debut. ISBN 978-0-099-53498-3 Price £7.99 Signed copy.

Book Journal: Seventeen Photos Down, One to Go
It's painful to be 94.4% of the way through a job and have to stop. We almost made it yesterday, but on our eighteenth shot of the week, had to call it quits.
Look at that pesky little piece of chocolate cake; doesn't it look like it's asking for trouble? Well, it wouldn't cooperate and it sent us all home with our hands up in the air, deciding to come in for one more morning.
On the other hand, I'm thrilled with the finished photos and can't believe how long we have to wait to see them all bound up pretty in a bookstore.
(Note: the photo you see to the left was not taken by the photographer – it was snapped by me on the little mini Canon as I ran by. This man, on the other hand, is a genius and it has been an honor to have him on my team.)

Movie Reviews
Good horror film, two thumbs up.
Puzzle box | Kuwait | 12/12/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I thought this film would turn into garbage since I wasn't looking forward to seeing it, when I saw all the wonderfull reviews I thought that it might be a bit to overhyped and the premise did not look that intresting but I was completely wrong the descent turned out to be a true horror film and I was not dissapointed. From the beggening till the end I was amazed at how scary this film was and it was an excellent british horror film, from the moment the girls enter the caves your nerves are on edge. The story's about a group of girls who seek adventure on a cave expedition, while deep inside the underground caves they find themselves cut of from the world and off the map. Battling to get back to the surface they realise that they are being hunted by an unknown cannibalistic force, now they must pull together and fight for their survival, directed by Neil Marshall the guy that did Dog soldiers. The film was very gory so if your squimish or claustrophobic then I suggest you watch something else because most of the time the action takes place in small and tight areas but thats whats great about this film as well as the atmosphere and great location. I thought that this film was great and I highly recomend this for true horror fans.
Edit 08/13/06: I'm just going to let people know that this film was released last year in the U.K. and its available on region 2 dvd just this month it was released in theaters across the U.S. so far the American version has a different ending which sucks, its better if you watch the original ending for this excellent film enjoy...."
Spelunking Through The Gates Of Hell
Sky | New York | 12/04/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)
"You've got a pretty tight group of girlfriends. You're a pretty tough girl yourself. You do a lot of adventurous stuff that usually includes mostly just your girlfriends.
After a year's hiatus due to a terrible family tragedy, you decide it's time to hook up with your girls and shake the bad memories on a spelunking outing.
You head to a remote area of the Appalachian Mountains to some charted caves recommended by a spelunking guide, according to one of your group members. You embark with 6 friends into the caves from the highpoint in the mountain...down...down...down through the bowels of the mountain in search of an exit at a lower point.
Then two of a plethora of bad things happen. A tunnel that you came through is sealed off leaving you only one way to go...down. And your partner reveals the reality that a guide didn't recommend the caves at all; she thought it would make the excursion more adventurous in unexplored caves. There is no charted way out.
Think that's a problem? How about shining your light down the next tunnel where you see an eerie human-ish looking figure crouched in the dark peering back at you?
The Descent has chills. There's high suspense. It goes without saying that there are good old fashioned jump-out-of-the-dark scares (they are in a cave!). No special effects needed here to generate excitement. The creatures are well designed and scary.
The story flows very well. The acting is better than the average Horror flick. And Director Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers) keeps a better than average flow of twists and turns coming.
Do indeed see it if you're into the genre. The Descent is one of the movies on my Amazon Listmania List, "15 Flicks Guaranteed To Leave A Permanent Impression".
Note: The US theatrical version had a lame ending compared to the original UK version. The US DVD release gives you the option of which ending you'd prefer to view. Go with the original."
Climb Aboard For "The Descent"
K. Harris | Las Vegas, NV | 12/10/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I'm not typically accustomed to going "gaga" over horror films. It's not that I don't like them, I love them--but truth be told, it's hard to find genuinely good ones. I'm entertained by lots of the gory, splatter films that have recently dominated the box office. Usually, however, it's a matter of accepting the limitations within these films and getting whatever enjoyment you can out of the scenarios. It's been a very long time since I thought of a current horror movie as a 5 star event, so nothing could have surprised me more than "The Descent."
The preliminary setup is a good one. Our heroines begin to explore some unknown, uncharted cave systems and quickly become trapped. Now our ladies must use their resourcefulness and intelligence to try to get out. The dynamics start to play out between the women--good and bad--and a real fear for survival starts to set in. We are squarely in a man versus nature psychological thriller atmosphere. It recalls for me "Open Water"--a film whose horror is about helplessness and being stranded, not about sharks.
But just as soon as I was sure where I was headed, the rug was pulled out. The last third becomes a monstrously bloody battle for survival. It is so well choreographed, I was sucked in wholeheartedly. And far from being victims--our heroines exhibit intelligence, brutality, resilience, loyalty and a real survival instinct. We've got some real female empowerment going on! For pure horror, this film goes out with a real bang.
I was completely blindsided by this one. There's a good screenplay, a credible backstory, appealing actresses, great cinematography and nice effects.
"The Descent" may not be the "best" movie I see this year--but as a pure adrenaline rush, I promise you it will be one of my favorites. KGHarris, 12/06.

I've been wanting to make a loom for years, but I hadn't thought about it in a long time until, the Des Moines Farmers' Market, on Saturday. I saw the most amazing woven alpaca, bamboo and cotton shawls. (Of course I neglected to take a picture). After a few minutes of chatting, come to find out this woman makes all of these beautiful shawls on homemade looms. Then proceeds to tell us HOW to make them. I make mental notes.
Then I see this on Design Mom's blog today, seriously, today. And that gets my wheels turning. Let's start with fabric instead of yarn. Then the task of making a loom might not be so daunting.
After dinner, while the kids were still in their baths (and husband was upstairs with them). I ran down to my studio in the basement and I grabbed what we had. A just-about-ready-to-be-thrown-out-white-board, box of rusty finishing nail-- hey, if I'm not sure this will work, I'm not buying anything-- and a hammer. Throw in a roll of blue painting tape and I ran back upstairs.
So... I took the blue tape and cut it into squares. I hate measuring and this look to be about the exact size apart I would want the nails to be apart.
Taped one whole side, nailed at each tape juncture.
Proceed all the way around the frame.
Place one extra nail at the start peg and finish peg of your loom to hold a tied loop, when finished loop can be untied and excess can be woven back into rug.
Thread as you wish.
And that folks is how you make a loom in 20 minutes. However, nailing will be loud, and may keep your kids up. Don't say I didn't warn you!
Are you new here? We'd love to meet you!

How carbon dioxide regulations proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency will impact jobs in coal-dependent states and how technology to capture carbon is evolving are among the questions House subcommittees will address in hearings the week of Oct. 28.
As covered in an Oct. 23 Energy and Climate Reportarticle, the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations will hear directly from members of coal communities affected by standards proposed by the EPA for new power plants.
As detailed in a Sept. 20 article, the EPA proposed separate emission standards for new coal- and natural gas-fired units at power plants. The EPA also is expected to issue by June 2014 a similar proposed rule for existing power plants that would be implemented by states through regulations based on federal guidelines.
In addition to killing jobs in coal-dependent states, opponents of the EPA regulations claim that carbon capture and storage technology, which they say would need to be used to meet the standards, is not yet commercially available, and as such, will prevent the addition or expansion of coal-burning power plants.
Meanwhile, the House Science, Space and Technology subcommittees on Environment and Energy will hold a joint hearing Oct. 29 on "EPA Power Plant Regulations: Is the Technology Ready?"
As covered in an Oct. 24 article, a Congressional Research Service report found that while carbon capture technology will likely be commercially available for power plants in 2020 or earlier, widespread deployment will largely hinge on the government's ability to manage costs by creating a market.
Energy Bill on House Agenda
The House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy and Power will hold a hearing Oct. 29 on the North American Energy Infrastructure Act (H.R. 3301).
The bill, introduced Oct. 22 by Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.), would require federal approval for the construction, connection and operation or maintenance of oil or natural gas pipelines or electric transmission facilities at U.S. borders for the import or export of oil, natural gas or electricity to or from Canada or Mexico.
Additional details of the bill are included in a Sept. 24 article.
House Subcommittee to Hold Hydropower Hearing
On Oct. 29, the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water and Power will hold an oversight hearing on "A Roadmap for Increasing Our Water and Hydropower Supplies: the Need for New or Expanded Multi-Purpose Surface Storage Facilities."
As detailed in an Oct. 22 article, a new law, The Hydropower Regulatory Efficiency Act, was signed into law Aug. 9. It requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to consider the feasibility of a two-year licensing process for hydropower projects at non-powered dams and closed-loop pumped storage sites.
The EPA to Host Listening Session
The EPA is scheduled to hold a listening session Oct. 30 in Denver on its proposed rule for carbon dioxide from power plants. The agency has scheduled a total of 11 sessions. Sessions were held Oct. 23 in New York City and Atlanta. Sessions will be held Nov. 4 in Boston and Lenexa, Kan.; Nov. 5 in San Francisco; Nov. 7 in Dallas, Seattle and Washington; and Nov. 8 in Chicago and Philadelphia.
Mexico to Consider Carbon Tax
Mexico's Congress is scheduled to vote on a tax package Oct. 31 that would include a carbon tax on the sale and import of fossil fuels based on their carbon content.
As detailed in a Sept. 16 article, industry groups oppose the proposal, which the Mexican government said would help the country boost its tax proceeds and shift its competitive foundation from one based on the combustion of fossil fuel to one based on green energy.
Other Energy, Climate Events
The EPA will host a webinar Oct. 30 on "Energy Efficiency in Water and Wastewater Facilities." According to the agency, the facilities are among the largest consumers of energy, accounting for 35 percent of typical U.S. municipal budgets.
The law firm Ballard Spahr LLP will hold a seminar on "Green Infrastructure: New Opportunities and Trends" Oct. 28 in Philadelphia. The event will be held via simulcast in Washington, Pittsburgh and New York. The seminar will cover Superstorm Sandy and lessons learned from climate change.
"Sandy One Year Later: Looking to the Future" will be the topic of an event hosted Oct. 29 in West Long Beach, N.J., by New Jersey Future, Monmouth University, the Union of Concerned Scientists and the New Jersey Recovery Fund. Speakers include former governors James Florio and Christine Todd Whitman.
The group Environmental Entrepreneurs will hold two events Oct. 29. "Water Wise: Meeting Colorado's Water Challenges will be held in Denver and will cover a recently released report, "Colorado Water Supply and Climate Change: A Business Perspective." The other event, "Mission Critical: Clean Energy and the U.S. Military" will be held in New York City.

I had the misfortune of hearing 'Fix You' (or something) by Coldplay today. It really is one of the most awful tracks I've ever heard, worse than the Cardiacs, and that's saying something. Coldplay are so awful it makes me swoon (heh!), the very thought of them make me feel faint. They are just so horrible that words fail me.
So, to help us all along, here is a wonderful (legit) MP3 called 'Hi Ho Silver' from Freakwater's fab new album.

Get over it .....Fix you is an excellent track....and as for the cardiacs...truely unique...truely original....and totally excellent....after 20 years of denial...isn't it time to let go...after all....you ulimatley one with them

the realisation of non-duality does not imply the end of quality. Some 'things' have greater depth than other 'things', otherwise we're left with nihilism.
I saw the Cardiacs four times in the 80s and each time I found them more unbearable than the last. You can't say I haven't given them a chance!

Our very own Mother Goose (a.k.a. Ms. Judy) has been travelling around Clayton County visiting child care centers and sharing her rhymes and stories with children. Although Mother Goose Day is on May 1st each year, she believes that these wonderful nursery rhymes should be shared year round. Unfortunately, she could not find her goose, who likes to hide all the time, so she enlisted the help of her good friend Duck to go along on her travels to the different schools. As you can imagine, Duck did not mind one bit. Here is a picture of the two of them before a storytime:
These are some of our favorite Mother Goose books that you can share:

The Easter Season is here and one of the most common flowers seen at this time of year is the Lily. We would like to take this chance to warn cat owners about this potentially dangerous plant to cats that may be in or around their house.
Cats are extremely sensitive to lilies, including Easter lilies, Day lilies, Tiger lilies, Asiatic lilies and Stargazer lilies. Any part of the lily may be toxic to the cat, including the stem, leaves, petals, stamens and pollen. A cat does not need to eat the lily to be poisoned, just chewing on the leaves or getting pollen on his/her coat can poison the cat.
Cats who are exposed to the lily's toxin develop acute kidney failure and die, usually within 3-6 days of exposure to the lily. However if a cat is treated within 18 hours of exposure, they have a better chance at recovery.
Early signs include vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy and dehydration. Symptoms worsen as kidney failure develops. Some cats will experience disorientation, staggering and seizures. Symptoms typically develop within 6-12 hours of exposure.
If you see your cat chewing or licking on a lily plant, call your veterinarian immediately or, if it is after hours, take your cat to a local veterinary emergency clinic.
Cats are very curious creatures and enjoy chewing on or playing with plants. The best way to prevent lily toxicity is to keep any of the above lilies out of your house or yard.
For more information about lily toxicity, go to www.noliliesforcats.com
For more information about other potentially toxic plants and substances, visit the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center.

DOES a lack of facility warrant striking off football as a CCA?
No, said James Wong, the teacher in charge of the Victoria School (VS) football team who argues that a lack of space should not prevent a school from offering football as a CCA.
Along with RI and Saint Joseph's Institution, VS dominated the school football scene some three decades ago.
'We don't always need the whole field, we can do our training on half a field,' said Wong, 33, who represented the boys' school as a centre-back from 1989 to 1992.
'Some days, when we do physical training, we don't need the field. We can make use of other resources in school as well,' he added.
'We can also play floorball in the hall as well because it develops the anaerobic endurance.
'These alternative forms of training are beneficial too.
'So I think it is not a good reason to shut down a CCA based on availability of resources.'
For Victoria School, good old creativity is their answer to a lack of space.

Millions of dogs and cats die in shelters each year. Lucky Dog Animal Rescue is often an animal's only hope. Here is the story of one Lucky Dog.
Washington, DC (PRWEB) December 31, 2013
Lucky Dog Animal Rescue (LDAR) was honored to be featured in a Sky News broadcast seen around the world. The story follows the journey of more than 30 dogs from a high kill shelter in South Carolina to Washington, DC, where Lucky Dog Animal Rescue finds them loving, forever homes.
Daryl, a beautiful black lab mix, was one such lucky dog. Less than 24 hours after arriving from a kill-shelter, Daryl found her forever family at a Lucky Dog adoption event.
"We are incredibly fortunate to have Sky News help spread our story," said Mirah Horowitz, founder and executive director of Lucky Dog Animal Rescue. "Part of our mission is to educate people about the problems of pet overpopulation, the importance of adoption, and the need for spay/neuter laws. Anything that helps us get that word out is incredibly important. Daryl had a happy ending, but she was a lucky one. Millions of dogs and cats die each year without such luck."
Each week LDAR receives a transport of animals from shelters in Virginia, West Virginia, North and South Carolina, Puerto Rico and beyond. Every animal is unique and LDAR is committed to not just finding these animals a home - but the right home. When the animals arrive, LDAR's network of over 1,000 volunteers works tirelessly to find these animals their forever homes.
To adopt a Lucky Dog or Cat, to volunteer, or to donate in support of LDAR, visit http://www.luckydoganimalrescue.org.
About Lucky Dog Animal Rescue
Lucky Dog Animal Rescue is non-profit animal rescue organization dedicated to saving the lives of homeless animals in high-kill shelters and educating the community on responsible pet ownership. Lucky Dog Animal Rescue relies on a network of volunteers and fosters to facilitate adoptions and provide temporary homes for the dogs and cats available for adoption. Most Lucky Dogs are rescued from high-kill shelters in Virginia, West Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Puerto Rico. Once rescued, the Lucky Dogs live in home through the Washington, DC metro area, including Maryland and Virginia. To learn more about Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and to view the animals awaiting their forever-homes, please visit http://www.luckydoganimalrescue.org.

(If we live with an open and grateful attitude, every day will bring a gift. This is one of 365 gifts during the year I turned 70.)
I bend down to pick up a piece of sea glass from the beach. Its transformation is not quite finished and after I take a picture of it, I will throw it back into the Chesapeake Bay so it can be fine-tuned and eventually become complete. Its sharp edges were capable once of drawing blood but now, over time, it will become so smooth that it invites touch.
Where did it come from? Was it once a jar or a bottle? What did the container hold? How did it break? Was it an accident or did someone smash it in anger. Was it tossed into the trash and forgotten? Whatever its origin, it was once whole and then it was broken. Somehow, it found its way to salt water, its redemption.
It is enough to learn to let go." ~ ellen cherry *
It was in the letting go that the healing began and the once sharp shard was transformed into a new smooth thing of beauty. But it did not happen in one or two days. It had to be tossed about brutally and trust to nature that it would become whole again—new and more beautiful. Sea glass is a survivor that learned to trust time's power to transform.
Patience, patience, patience, is what the sea teaches. Patience and faith. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach—waiting for a gift from the sea." ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh
My gift today is sea glass.
If you feel broken, the New Day Campaign is a starting place:

Great Western Cinema
340 N. Wilson Road,
1 person favorited this theater
Built as a single-screen theatre about 1966.
Recent comments (view all 11 comments)
This was a generic General Cinema house without much character. Original had the blue shadow box GCC screen. Lived as a mono house its entire life. Nothing special at all.
This was located at the intersection of West Broad Street and Wilson Road.
Although the shopping center is at West Broad and Wilson, the theater itself was at the far north end at the corner of Wilson Road and Valleyview Drive.
The Great Western Shopping Center is very large for an old unenclosed mall.
amazing all the theatres that were closing as i graduated college.
This theater and the University City Cinema were opened the same week by General Cinema Corporation in 1966. Listed below are the films which played here from 1966-1969. The date listed is the Wednesday of the opening week. Research is from microfilms of The Columbus Dispatch.

Being at a major mall at the time, this theater played almost every Walt Disney picture released, as well as "roadshow" films when they were released as "no reserved seats-popular prices."
Correct address for this theater is 340 North WIlson Road
To posters above: this theater did NOT close in the early 80s, nor in 85, as I saw the Polanski comedy "Pirates" there in July of 86. I believe it closed shortly thereafter. In fact, that may very well have been the last film to play there, as I seem to think I went because I had heard the place was about to close. Not sure about this. But at any rate, it was most definitely still there for "Pirates".
It was always a strange place, sitting out at the north end of the parking lot all by itself. Seemed a very lonely and unfriendly location somehow.
General Cinema operated this until November 20, 1986.
Oliver, which opened here on 3/26/69 (as noted above by Ron3853) played on a 2-show per day, reserved seat, advanced purchase basis.
