Support is building for a cross-country pipeline that would bring Alberta light crude and oilsands bitumen upgraded to synthetic crude to the East Coast.
It’s about time Nova Scotia got on that bandwagon.
The sooner lower-priced western oil is brought into the Maritimes, the greater the chance that it will positively affect local energy prices. And all sources of energy, not only hydroelectricity, are important factors in future economic development in Atlantic Canada.
For those who haven’t been following this issue, Trans-Canada Corp. is contemplating spending $5 billion converting an underutilized east-to-west gas pipeline to ship light crude from Alberta to the Ultramar refinery in Quebec City and | potentially to Saint John, where Irving Oil operates the largest refinery in the country.
Besides the 300,000-barrel-a-day Irving refinery, the New Brunswick option would provide western producers with access to a deepwater port. That means the Port of Saint John could be used to ship unrefined Alberta crude to high-priced markets in Europe and elsewhere.
I’ve read estimates that suggested that tankers loading in Saint John could carry as much as one-million barrels a day, brought to the East Coast via the TransCanada pipeline.

Manon Gignoux is a French artist who makes textile sculptures, clothes objects, makes clothes and accessories. Her choice of color is quite subtle and muted reflecting the drive and love of old objects and clothes, fascination with layers and texture, and simple forms.
The origin of her work can be traced back to the last year of her study at France's Duperre School of Applied Arts when she made a photographic study of the clothes worn by workers in the early 20th century and where she explored "the wear and tear" on clothes. She extracted four themes from the study: "the carpenter" or the traces of alteration, the "washerwoman" or the imprint of repeated movements, "the inside-out suit" or the dynamics of (de)construction and "the woman shopkeeper" or the encounter between work clothes and everyday life and the way an object is worn to fit the body.

Title IX at Buffalo State
From the Chief Diversity Officer
This memo serves as an annual notice to the Buffalo State community to provide information about Title IX.
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits sex discrimination in education. It reads: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.” Most people understand Title IX only in terms of its application to gender equity in athletics; however, Title IX extends protections against discrimination to educational institutions. These protections are not just for students; faculty and staff are covered by the protections of Title IX also.
The Title IX coordinator for Buffalo State | is the chief diversity officer, Karen A. Clinton Jones. She can be reached at (716) 878-6210, firstname.lastname@example.org, or Cleveland Hall 415.

The objective of our research is to measure soybean genetic variation for responses to increased CO2 and O3 concentrations under field conditions at the SoyFACE facility at the University of Illinois. Averaged over all cultivars and 5 years of testing from 2004 to 2008, elevated CO2 significantly delayed the onset of flowering, seed filling, and maturity, whereas elevated O3 significantly hastened each of these three growth stages. Elevated CO2 significantly increased plant height, lodging, seed weight and seed yield, and elevated O3 significantly reduced each of these traits. Although these general trends exist, there were differential responses among the cultivars for every trait measured including seed yield. Because the O | 3 treatment was relative to the ambient levels, average treatment levels varied from 53 to 71 ppb. Entries that are highly tolerant at the lower levels were not tolerant at the higher levels and the reverse is true for other cultivars. These results demonstrate that even among a relatively small sample of soybean cultivars it is possible to select for types that produce larger seed yield increases in elevated CO2 | [

Mission to Tokyo — a book for those who want the knowledge, not simply the facts
Mission to Tokyo: the American airmen who took the war to the heart of Japan, Robert F. Dorr, 2012, ISBN 978-0-7603-4122-3, 328 pp.

Vibrant writing by Robert Dorr places the reader into the times and the minds of the men who flew that first massive and unconventional raid against Japan — the attack which signaled a significant strategic shift in strategy.

It’s now year three for Jackson. Can he finally be the de facto number two corner opposite Johnathan Joseph?
Two weeks into Texans training camp, all signs say yes.
Yeah…I said it. Believe it. At least for the moment.
“He’s a much better player right now,” said coach Gary Kubiak. “He’s more confident in Wade’s system, confident. I think Kareem’s really improved as a player, and it’s all about confidence with him, too.”
Don’t just take the coach’s word. Watch the tape from Saturday in Charlotte. Jackson jumped an early pass intended for Brandon LaFell – very nearly picking it off – and put himself in good position to stop a pass intended for | Steve Smith in the corner of the end zone.
The first play, the deflected pass, is the one you need to focus on. A young corner might be hesitant to make a gamble like Jackson did on that Cam Newton toss. But sprinkle in two years of experience, and things come a little easier.

The House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health looked at Federal, State and private efforts to prevent and treat traumatic brain injury and the disabilities they cause, Monday afternoon.
The federal government has been involved in this issue directly since passing the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Act of 1996, which encouraged research and innovative programs to increase awareness.
Several amendments to the Act have passed since then, aimed at educating the public and ensuring best treatment practices for injured individuals.
Traumatic | brain injuries occur when an external force injures the brain and every year, 1.7 million Americans sustain a traumatic brain injury, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The CDC has found that falls are the leading cause these injuries, especially for children under 4 and adults 75 and older. Car accidents are the leading cause of traumatic brain injury-related deaths.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) spent about $400 million in Fiscal Year 2011 on programs to understand, prevent and reduce the incidence of traumatic brain injuries and the hearing will discuss the impact of their efforts.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A year after calling for a "new model" for college athletics, NCAA Executive Director Dick Schultz opened the 85th annual NCAA convention Monday by asking the organization's members to develop "a second chapter to that model," including a review of | the NCAA enforcement process.
"The special convention in 1985 made sweeping changes in the enforcement and infractions process," Schultz said, referring to the convention during which the NCAA toughened its enforcement policies and added the so-called "death penalty" for repeat violators. "After five years, I feel it | [

Heuristic Refinement Method for the Derivation of Protein Solution Structures: Validation on Cytochrome B562
1988) Heuristic Refinement Method for the Derivation of Protein Solution Structures: Validation on Cytochrome B562. J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci. 28(4):pp. 194-210. (
Full text available as:
A method is described for determining the family of protein structures compatible with solution data obtained primarily from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Starting with all possible conformations, the method systematically excludes conformations until the remaining structures are only those compatible with the data. The apparent computational intractability of this approach is reduced by assembling the protein in pieces, by considering the protein at several levels of abstraction, by utilizing constraint satisfaction methods to consider only a few atoms at a time, and by utilizing artificial intelligence methods of heuristic control to decide which actions will exclude the most conformations. Example results are presented for simulated NMR data from the known crystal structure of cytochrome b562 (103 residues). For 10 sample backbones an average root-mean-square deviation from the crystal of 4.1 A was found for all alpha-carbon atoms and 2. | 8 A for helix alpha-carbons alone. The 10 backbones define the family of all structures compatible with the data and provide nearly correct starting structures for adjustment by any of the current structure determination methods.

"We had a good game plan going in and we stuck to it," Schlosser said. "I had command of all three pitches tonight. It was real nice, we jumped out to a lead in the first and after that I just tried to keep us in the game as long as possible."

It could take the form of a quest line, wherein you learn the history behind your diety, the reason they favor such a weapon, and then you complete tasks on your way to earning 'extra credit' when using that particular weapon or class of offence.

At a time when other major motorcycle manufacturers were shifting away from making single cylinder, two-stroke dirt bikes in favor of four strokes, Kawasaki continued to make its KDX line of two-stroke dirt bikes. The Japanese manufacturer offered three KDX models in 2005, the 50, the 200, and the 220R, all in Kawasaki’s trademark lime green. Kawasaki introduced its KDX line in 1980 with 175 cc and 250 cc engine sizes. The 175 cc was upgraded to 200 cc in 1983, and Kawasaki dropped the 250 cc model a year later. Kawasaki introduced the 220R in 1997. The KDX 220R has a bigger bore, 69 mm, compared to 66 mm for the KDX 200, giving the engine an extra 18 cc of power. Both the 200 and 220R are agile on the trail and do a good job of keeping up with bigger bikes, such as 250 | ccs.

The Discovery Channel commenced it's 25th year of the ever popular Shark Week last night, and Universal is releasing the original Jaws on Blu-Ray tomorrow, so there is no better time than today to compile a top ten list of the greatest shark attacks in cinema history.

Chrissie's Last Swim
It's amazing that Spielberg was able to scare us so much in this classic Jaws scene without even showing the shark. As effective as that technique was throughout the film, it wasn't the director's original plan. Watch this video to learn how Spielberg was forced to pull a "Hitchock" when the electronic shark model wouldn't operate in salt water!
Quint is Devoured
In this scene from Jaws, we actually get to see the beast and his 3,000 pearly whites. We also get to see a man devoured whole as he gargles up blood.

Human expansion and interference have detrimental effects as civilizations continue to encroach on previously undisturbed habitats. As a result, many species of animals and plants must struggle to survive.
Biodiversity reveals the important role each of these life forms plays in its ecosystem as well as the irreversible and extensive consequences that would result from a massive loss of biodiversity. It explores the ecological and evolutionary processes, how these processes depend on the cohabitation of a wide range of life forms within an ecosystem, and how the existence of these diverse organisms maintains a crucial stability in the natural world. Beginning with an introduction to biodiversity, this new volume discusses its importance and history, the difficulties in maintaining it, and past and current efforts to protect ecosystems from greater destruction. It examines five specific case studies, including the United States, Indonesia, New Zealand, Madagascar, and Costa Rica, describing the current status and history of biodiversity, obstacles, and conservation efforts | in the country at hand.

LAWRENCEVILLE - Two weeks ago, there were record highs. This weekend, expect record lows.
On March 25, the mercury hit 87 degrees at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, one of the highest temperatures ever recorded in March and a record high for that day.
But this Easter weekend, those new springtime dresses will be hidden under layers of coats and scarves.
Temperatures could be as low as 25 degrees in Gwinnett on Sunday morning, National Weather Service Meteorologist Steve Nelson said. The previous low for April 8, in 1886, was 32 degrees. Records have been kept in Atlanta since 1878.
"That's not normal," he said. "It's been many, many years since we've seen it go back and forth in two weeks like that. Most likely, we're going to shatter the record for Easter Sunday."
The cold weather will start today, with low temperatures just above freezing early this morning. In the coming days, those temperatures will continue to drop and Nelson said Gwinnett will not see temperatures in the 70s again until Wednesday | .
A freeze watch will be in effect tonight, Saturday night and into Sunday morning.

Acne affects nearly 100% of the population at some point. For some, acne is mild and transient; for others, it can be severe and long lasting. Scarring from severe acne can be permanent and disfiguring (see section on Acne Scars). Acne usually begins around the time of puberty. Acne may improve after puberty, but for many, acne persists into and during middle age. Acne lesions form when the opening of oil glands (called sebaceous glands) in the skin become blocked. Trapped oil builds up within the gland, causing inflammation. The swelling within the oil gland can become so intense that the oil gland (and associated hair follicle) can rupture, leading to further inflammation. While the surge of hormones during puberty likely triggers this process, other factors such as stress, diet, and the influence of other hormones may also play a role. A bacterium called Propionibacterium acnes that is normally present on the skin likely plays a role in acne, but the precise link is still unclear. Any person with moderate or worse acne should be seen by a | physician to discuss treatment options, because of the risk of permanent scarring.
Treatment for acne has improved dramatically in the last 2 decades. Effective over-the-counter medications include salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide preparations. First line prescription acne treatment usually involves a | [

The use of BitTorrent with RSS has been getting some attention lately, but there have been so many feed-related ideas tossed around recently that it's hard to tell which ones have any merit. For the record, I believe this one is very worthwhile. But before we jump into why BitTorrent is so useful here, perhaps a little background is necessary?
It all starts with enclosures, which provide a way to link multimedia files with items in an RSS feed. For example, this feed from IT Conversations uses enclosures to link to MP3 audio files. RSS readers such as FeedDemon often display enclosures in a manner resembling email attachments, but unlike email attachments, enclosures aren't automatically downloaded until you click on them.
Enclosures were a | neglected part of RSS 2.0 until podcasting came along. Podcasting refers to tools which automatically download RSS enclosures and synchronize them with a portable media player such as an Apple iPod. For example, you might tell your RSS reader to automatically download audio enclosures overnight and sync them with your iPod, so that when you get up in the morning you can grab your iPod and listen to all the new stuff on the way to work. It's still very rough around the edges, and there's a lot of unnecessary hype about podcasting being tossed around, but it's an interesting concept which I believe will grow into | [

MUNICH (AP) — Lionel Messi has sent a signed Barcelona shirt to former Bayern Munich striker Gerd Mueller, whose scoring record he broke last year.

This short film created and produced by Four Lovely Ladies Productions surveys life and death; journeying into the open expanse of the Thames estuary on a dated train that runs to the end of the world’s longest pleasure pier in Southend-On-Sea.
We begin our journey led by the camera, exploring the scene as the slow, rickety carriages travel further away from land. The beautifully bleak location oozes with nostalgia and mystery, immersing us in an enigmatic sense of purgatory.. With a change of weather, isolation transforms itself into a heavenly sense of hope, as the train reaches its destination. The filmmakers begin encountering visitors, painting a raw portrait of people drawn to this off-season seaside pier in the depths of winter. The interviews create fleeting intimate moments with strangers who speak of fond memories, regrets and hope for the future.
The day draws to an end, and the train begins its long, slow voyage back to land as the visitors begin to divulge into their beliefs about life, death, lost ones and the after-life. The train arrives at the station and its passengers disembark, wandering off to re | join everyday life, leaving their time at Southend pier behind – a hazy memory.
Blending drama and documentary styles, Under the Cranes is a beautifully conceived meditation on the multicultural of history Hackney and the changes that continue to shape this part of East London.

Breaking with the linear narrative convention, the audience is invited to apprehend the city as a sequence of interwoven vignettes: 'past in the present; present in the | [

I love allusions and models in the Bible.

It excites me to realize that when the Holy Spirit tells us in Genesis 8 that the ark came to rest in the seventh month on the seventeenth day of the month, that He was telling us that it happened on the "anniversary in advance" of Christ emerging from the tomb on Firstfruits.
In that vein, here are some of the better known models, allusions, and types of the rapture (in some form) that are in the Old Testament. If | [

Kansas City Chiefs outside linebacker Tamba Hali either hasn’t seen the Raiders play this season, or he simply is doing his part to stoke the fires of a rivalry game between two teams with a combined 3-9 record.

This week's unveiling of a new waxwork of Nicole Kidman at London's famous Madame Tussaud's is a chance to comment on one of the most extraordinary cover pictures of the year, but one that passed by with almost no attention. Taken by Patrick Demarchelier for the October Vanity Fair, it shows Kidman in a jaunty nautical cap opening her blouse to reveal her victorianly white skin and a Carine Gilson bra. Her eyes are unfocused, her lips parted as seductively as her current face allows. It's a strong and surprising image with an almost Arbus-y subtext as the subject seems pinned into her moment of odd revelation. It's a great cover shot.
Demarchelier is so prolific I'm not always sure people recognize quite how good he can be. But what I found so surprising about the image is: a) that Kidman found the need to do it; and: b) that once done it seemed so un-noteworthy. Did she want us to see that as she approaches 40, she looks every bit as good as her waxwork likeness (in the red dress)? In the age of photoshopped covers | and nip and tuck, a glossy magazine cover picture is more an illustration of a concept than something with any great basis in reality.

“Atlanta is still the top location to move to, and six other warm weather destinations help round out the top 10 moving destination list,” says Don Mikes, senior vice president of truck rental for Penske. “We’re seeing patterns in our 2012 consumer truck rentals of people moving south for more warmth and sunshine.”
Penske’s top 10 moving destinations for 2012 were:

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees. (Photo: US Presswire)
As some of you head to the semifinals of your fantasy football playoffs, several studly performers on the season are turning into duds at the most inopportune time. On the flip side, those you may have put on the back burner are rising to the occasion.
QB Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints: Seven interceptions in his last three contests is un Brees-like, but a tilt versus the Bucs should remedy that in Week 15. Tampa Bay is allowing the third-most fantasy points to QBs in the past month (24.3 per game) on the back of 307 yards and 1.75 touchdowns. They're also | allowing completions at a 67.3% clip. Brees will be airing it out, you can count on that.
RB Jamaal Charles, Kansas City Chiefs: The loss of Dwayne Bowe (ribs) takes away Brady Quinn's best aerial weapon, leaving Charles as the only consistent playmaker in this pitiful offense.

‘Read with our cautious recommendation’ – Under the Same Stars by Tim Lott
Before we go a step further, know that I think Tim Lott is a tremendously under-rated English writer. If his novel Rumours of a Hurricane had emerged with Ian McEwan’s by-line, it would have been sitting on the front desk of Waterstone’s for the last five years. Similarly, White City Blue, his tale of London lives and loves, would have been made into a film starring Hugh Grant by now if it had come out under Nick Hornby’s moniker. Who can say why one writer of a similar quality does better than another? All we can do is look at who becomes a household name and who does not and then gauge signals, like the fact that Lott has moved from Penguin to Simon & Schuster | , and wonder if he was pushed or whether he jumped.
His latest, Under the Same Stars, revives many of the themes and issues of his debut, The Scent of Dried Roses, dealing as it does with depression and its effect on families. We first | [

Since it has been quite awhile since my last post on limited atonement, I need to take a moment again and remind my readers of this: while it is true that these doctrines are commonly known as Calvinist or Reformed, this does not mean that I adhere to every doctrine espoused by John Calvin or the Reformers. I stand as bit of an oddity, I think, as I must be labeled as a dispensational Calvinist. Some might think that an oxymoron, but from my perspective this label can also be translated as: Biblical. So let's leave it at that. I believe that the Doctrines of Grace, or "TULIP" are quite Scripturally accurate and that they are necessary to the Christian. Of course, my more Arminian-leaning friends disagree with me on this point and, just as I would | not condemn them as heretics for their exaltation of man's "free will" over God's sovereignty so too would I hope that they would not send me into the flaming depths for my belief that God is wholly and supremely sovereign | [

We took our tree down this morning, our living room is back to its normal mess, the Christmas decorations are back in the shed until next year. So now what? The last week of the year is the most anticipated and the most hyped up time. Since the day after Thanksgiving we have been getting ready for it. Decorating, shopping, planning, making sure we didn't forget anything, the lights, the ornaments, the stockings.
Planning the Christmas holiday is very much like getting ready for a newborn. Mommy does most of the work, the shopping, picking the cards and sending them, wrapping the presents... Would be nice for Santa to help a little, the guy gets all the credit.
On Christmas morning, the kids get into labor tearing up the wrapping paper, screaming, shouting, getting so excited. What is it? What did I get? A truck? A doll?
We then celebrate in church, kind of like taking our newborn to get christened.

To understand what is truly at stake in the upcoming race for Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown’s U.S. Senate seat, look no further then the storied legacy of the men who have held it.
From Charles Sumner to Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. to Edward M. Kennedy, the seat, which has never been occupied by a woman, has been won by some of the most notable names in U.S. political history. Over the years, many of the senators symbolized maintenance of the status quo -- but the the most memorable, historians say, are those who chose to push the envelope.
“Massachusetts has a bit of a mixed record when it comes to democracy. It wasn’t always a center for the Democratic Party, which was advocating for the common man to be a part of the political process,” said John Baick, a professor of history at Western New England University in Springfield. “This state, with Federalist and Whig party members, would try to resist that, but in the 19th and 20th centuries there are some senators that can | be seen not just as Massachusetts sons but barometers for the national mood.”
