It seems as likely as anything in politics can be that. the Democratic candidate for president in 2012 will be President Obama, seeking re-election to a second term. But who will · the Republicans put up to oppose him? It may seem little early to be worrying about .that, but you can bet that that is already the question on a lot of the nation 's best political minds. And already there are a n'umber of names in the hat. For a party out of natiomil power, governorships are the logical glace to tum, and, happily, a number of them are available for consideration by the GOP. One, certainly, is Tim Pawlenty, Jhe Republican governor of Minnesota. Elected in 2002 and now in his, second tenn, he is 48 years old and previously served as majority leader of the Minnesota House of Representatives. He probably deserves to be listed as a moderate among possible Republican presidential ' nominees. a William Rusher Then there is Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, who, at 37; is also· in his secpnd term as the state's chief executive: He is somewhat more conservative than Pawlenty - not surprisingly, in view of his Souihern roots - but not overwhelmingly so. Another possible source of presidential candidates is , of.course, the Congress, and the current one doesn't lack for possibilities. Still on the Republican side, one name often mentioned is that of Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, At 57 and serving his first tenn in the Senate after six years in the House , he is an outspoken conservative, rated at · 100 by the · American Conservative Union m 2006. These names, .· of course, by po means exhaust the list , of those mentioned for possible nomination by the .Republicans in 2012. But ir is probably fairer to stop naming names now rather than try to list everyone and risk omitting somebody who deserves to be included. • And never overlook the possibility that a major contender might emerge. not from <:;ongress but from the ranks of business or the military, both of which hiive produced powerful candidates in past decades . Witness Wendell Willkie , who in · 1940 moved from a career in business to the Republican presidential , nomination and gave FOR a thoroughly credible battle for the White House . In general, however, it is in the political ranks that we are likeliest to find plausible candidates for high political office. For one thing, they tend to have the kind of political experience that such office requires. A businessman may know many things of value, but he hasn't been schooled in the strikingly different arts of politics , and his performance in the latter field is , almost bound to suffer as a · resulr. . ' In any case, there is plenty of time for attractive pose . sibilitiesto emerge. The offyear elections of 20 10 are fewer than tw<i years away, and any one of them could produce a brand-new gover- · · nor, senator or even· Congressman capable of making an important splash in 2012. · The nation's politi~ians and political observers are well aware of this and will keep a sharp eye on who emerges from the political cauldron in 2010.

The odds were also good that the Religion Newswriters Association would pick the White House race as its top news story. But there was a problem.

It seems as likely as anything in politics can be that. the Democratic candidate for president in 2012 will be President Obama, seeking re-election to a second term. But who will · the Republicans put up to oppose him? It may seem little early to be worrying about .that, but you can bet that that is already the question on a lot of the nation 's best political minds. And already there are a n'umber of names in the hat. For a party out of natiomil power, governorships are the logical glace to tum, and, happily, a number of them are available for consideration by the GOP. One, certainly, is Tim Pawlenty, Jhe Republican governor of Minnesota. Elected in 2002 and now in his, second tenn, he is 48 years old and previously served as majority leader of the Minnesota House of Representatives. He probably deserves to be listed as a moderate among possible Republican presidential ' nominees. a William Rusher Then there is Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, who, at 37; is also· in his secpnd term as the state's chief executive: He is somewhat more conservative than Pawlenty - not surprisingly, in view of his Souihern roots - but not overwhelmingly so. Another possible source of presidential candidates is , of.course, the Congress, and the current one doesn't lack for possibilities. Still on the Republican side, one name often mentioned is that of Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, At 57 and serving his first tenn in the Senate after six years in the House , he is an outspoken conservative, rated at · 100 by the · American Conservative Union m 2006. These names, .· of course, by po means exhaust the list , of those mentioned for possible nomination by the .Republicans in 2012. But ir is probably fairer to stop naming names now rather than try to list everyone and risk omitting somebody who deserves to be included. • And never overlook the possibility that a major contender might emerge. not from <:;ongress but from the ranks of business or the military, both of which hiive produced powerful candidates in past decades . Witness Wendell Willkie , who in · 1940 moved from a career in business to the Republican presidential , nomination and gave FOR a thoroughly credible battle for the White House . In general, however, it is in the political ranks that we are likeliest to find plausible candidates for high political office. For one thing, they tend to have the kind of political experience that such office requires. A businessman may know many things of value, but he hasn't been schooled in the strikingly different arts of politics , and his performance in the latter field is , almost bound to suffer as a · resulr. . ' In any case, there is plenty of time for attractive pose . sibilitiesto emerge. The offyear elections of 20 10 are fewer than tw<i years away, and any one of them could produce a brand-new gover- · · nor, senator or even· Congressman capable of making an important splash in 2012. · The nation's politi~ians and political observers are well aware of this and will keep a sharp eye on who emerges from the political cauldron in 2010.

Long before cable television. spa treatments and eco-friendly soaps and shampoos became staples in hotel rooms, there was the Bible - the Gideon Bible. And the book with the familiar two-handled pitcher and torch on its cover that tnost guests find inside bote I nightstands .doesn't appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. Gideons International is celebrating its IOOth anniversary distributing Bibles and has begun efforts to hand out more Scri{ltures . in the U.S. to boost a distribution rate that's remained relatively flat in recent years. Nearly . 76.9 million Gideon Scriptures were given out in nearly 85 languages in 187 countries las! year. Close to 1.5 billion Scriptures have been distributed since 1908, when the Gideons first began to place Bibles in hotel rooms. Since then, the nondenomipatimial evangelical group run by businessmen has spread its tremendous reach, also giving out free Scriptures at hospitals, schools, prisons and in the military. "This is not a churchclergy-led . sponsored, effort," said Leith Anderson, president of the National Association of Evangelicals, an umbrella group.for evangelical churches and organizations. "It's individuals that ·go around and distribute Bibles. It's an astonishing accomplishment." "What it's done is actually changed our culture .. People expect there to be a Bible in a hotel room. There's hardly anything that's parallel to it." The admittedly media-shy Gideons rarely seek outside attention, but leaders agreed to an interview with The Associated Press ·at the group's Nashville headquarters to mark the anniversary. "We've never been an association that necessarily dwelt on the past," said Gideons execuuve director Jerry Burden. "We always work in the present and look to the future. We're a very )ow-rrofile orgaoization.

"If a historian asks 'How did Americans react to Obama 's inauguration,' we' ll have immediate responses to this powerful event," said Dr. David A.

Long before cable television. spa treatments and eco-friendly soaps and shampoos became staples in hotel rooms, there was the Bible - the Gideon Bible. And the book with the familiar two-handled pitcher and torch on its cover that tnost guests find inside bote I nightstands .doesn't appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. Gideons International is celebrating its IOOth anniversary distributing Bibles and has begun efforts to hand out more Scri{ltures . in the U.S. to boost a distribution rate that's remained relatively flat in recent years. Nearly . 76.9 million Gideon Scriptures were given out in nearly 85 languages in 187 countries las! year. Close to 1.5 billion Scriptures have been distributed since 1908, when the Gideons first began to place Bibles in hotel rooms. Since then, the nondenomipatimial evangelical group run by businessmen has spread its tremendous reach, also giving out free Scriptures at hospitals, schools, prisons and in the military. "This is not a churchclergy-led . sponsored, effort," said Leith Anderson, president of the National Association of Evangelicals, an umbrella group.for evangelical churches and organizations. "It's individuals that ·go around and distribute Bibles. It's an astonishing accomplishment." "What it's done is actually changed our culture .. People expect there to be a Bible in a hotel room. There's hardly anything that's parallel to it." The admittedly media-shy Gideons rarely seek outside attention, but leaders agreed to an interview with The Associated Press ·at the group's Nashville headquarters to mark the anniversary. "We've never been an association that necessarily dwelt on the past," said Gideons execuuve director Jerry Burden. "We always work in the present and look to the future. We're a very )ow-rrofile orgaoization.

While that's certainly a large number, it may a)so be comforting to people with a family history of heart disease or those recently diagnosed with heart failure to kriow that they're not alone and that there's ilo reason ·they cannot enjoy a full life. Of course, knowing about heart failure and its symptoms and risk factors can only help make the battle that much easier. What is heart failure? . Contrary to what its. name might imply. heart failure does not mean the heart has stopped working. Instead, heart failure occurs when the heart stops pumping . the amount of blood necessary for the body to function properly. As this ·happens, the body then tries to make up for it in a handful of ways, such as the heart beginning to beat faster and the heart actually expanding. As the heart chamber expands, it stretches more and contracts more strongly, enabling it to pump more blood. Another thing the body does is hold onto salt and water, which increases the amount of blood in your bloodstream. This leads to congestion, hence the moniker "congestive 'heart failure" used by some in the medical profession. How does heart failure manifest itself? Because the body does things to make. up for the heart not pumping blood as well as it should, heart failure is often dif. ficult to recognize. Oftentimes, the aforementioned steps the body takesare so effective that it's common to not even know the heart is suffering from disease. However, as the AHA notes, heart failure is typically a chron- a ic disease, meaning it's a longterm condition that will continue to get worse. As hard as the body works to make up for the heart not pumping blood at full capacity' eventually the body will begin to lose ground and certain symptoms will arise. Some of the early symP.toms include feeling tired easJiy, being short of breath upon physical exertion, feelings of weakriess and dizziness, and heart palpitations, where the heart feels as if it's racing or pounding. Eventually, the fluid buildup that occurs becomes foo much for the body as well, and several symptoms can manifest themselves as a result. •. Swelling in the lower half of the body, such as the legs, ankles or feet. • Coughing or wheezing, particularly when lying down. • Increased need to urinate at night. • Shortness of breath, even when resting . ...... ~·~g§wrdeM .

While that's certainly a large number, it may a)so be comforting to people with a family history of heart disease or those recently diagnosed with heart failure to kriow that they're not alone and that there's ilo reason ·they cannot enjoy a full life. Of course, knowing about heart failure and its symptoms and risk factors can only help make the battle that much easier. What is heart failure? . Contrary to what its. name might imply. heart failure does not mean the heart has stopped working. Instead, heart failure occurs when the heart stops pumping . the amount of blood necessary for the body to function properly. As this ·happens, the body then tries to make up for it in a handful of ways, such as the heart beginning to beat faster and the heart actually expanding. As the heart chamber expands, it stretches more and contracts more strongly, enabling it to pump more blood. Another thing the body does is hold onto salt and water, which increases the amount of blood in your bloodstream. This leads to congestion, hence the moniker "congestive 'heart failure" used by some in the medical profession. How does heart failure manifest itself? Because the body does things to make. up for the heart not pumping blood as well as it should, heart failure is often dif. ficult to recognize. Oftentimes, the aforementioned steps the body takesare so effective that it's common to not even know the heart is suffering from disease. However, as the AHA notes, heart failure is typically a chron- a ic disease, meaning it's a longterm condition that will continue to get worse. As hard as the body works to make up for the heart not pumping blood at full capacity' eventually the body will begin to lose ground and certain symptoms will arise. Some of the early symP.toms include feeling tired easJiy, being short of breath upon physical exertion, feelings of weakriess and dizziness, and heart palpitations, where the heart feels as if it's racing or pounding. Eventually, the fluid buildup that occurs becomes foo much for the body as well, and several symptoms can manifest themselves as a result. •. Swelling in the lower half of the body, such as the legs, ankles or feet. • Coughing or wheezing, particularly when lying down. • Increased need to urinate at night. • Shortness of breath, even when resting . ...... ~·~g§wrdeM .

CAMR was meant to permanently cap and reduce mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants for the first time ever. CAMR established "standards of performance" limiting mercury emissions from new and existing coal-fired power plants, and created a market-based cap and trade program. Under this program, utilities and power plants were limited to a certain amount of mercury they were allowed to admit as a group, if they were to admit over · those limits those companies needed to buy from otherS under the limits to come into compliance.

' Toxic coal ash piles up · in ponds in 32 states BY DINA CAPPIELLO ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER ' WASHINGTON Millions of tons of toxic coal ash is piling up in power plant ponds in 32 states, a practice the federal government has long recog- · nized as a risk to human health and the environment .but has left unregulated. An Associated Press analysis of the most recent · Energy · Department data found that 156 coal-fired power plants store ash in . surface ponds similar to the one. that collapsed last month in Tennessee. Records indicate that states storing the most coal ash in ponds are Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Georgia and Alabama. Several are in Galli a and Mason counties. according to an AP survey of most recent data. The man-made lagoons hold a mixture of the noncombustib1e ingredients of · coal and the ash trapped by equipment designed to reduce air pollution from · tlle power plants. ~ · --. ,.1 I Over the years. the volume of waste has grown as demand for electricity increased and the federal govemm'ent clamped down on emissions from power plants. The AP's analysis found · that in 2005. the most recent · year data is available, 721 power plants generating at least 100 megawatts of electricity produced 95.8 million tons of coal ash. About 20 percent - or nearly 20 million tons - ended up in sutface ponds. The remainder ends up in landfills. or is sold for use in concrete, among other uses. The Environmental Protection Agency eight years ago said it wanted to set a national standard fgr ponds or landfills used to dispose of wastes produced from burning coaL The agency has yet to al:t. As a result. coal .ash . ponds are subject to less regulation than landfills accepting household trash. The EPA estimates that about 300 ponds for coal · ash exist nationwide . .
