Since the month of May is officially Gifts from the Garden Month, I thought our ATCs should be all about gardens, gardening, flowers, vegetables, etc. Anything that has to do with gardens/gardening will be fine. Remember, part of the beauty of ATCs is that you don't have to include a photo if you don't have one you would like to use; though you may certainly use photos if you wish to. You can create a card with digital embellishments, brushes, quotes, poems or any thing else you can think of as long as it has something to do with gardens/gardening. The important thing is to just have fun!
You may create as many cards as you would like, just please remember to sign and date each card. Upload them to the ATC Challenge & Swap Gallery and email the full resolution copy (750 x 1050 pixels at 300 dpi) to me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
The cards will be due by Wednesday June 5th, and I'll try to send the full sets back to you by the following Friday. I'll also be posting a new challenge on Friday June 7th.
Here are some great products if you need help creating your cards:

Common Core State Standards
Nevada and the majority of other states have adopted the Common Core State Standards, which were developed by state leaders, including governors and state commissioners of education from 48 states, two territories and the District of Columbia, through their membership in the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). Teachers, higher education faculty, and standards experts nationwide were part of the development process. The Common Core State Standards are a set of academic standards, or learning goals, for kindergarten through 12th grade in English language arts and mathematics that states voluntarily adopt. The Nevada State Board of Education adopted the Common Core State Standards in October 2010. Please visit the Nevada Department of Education's (NDE) website for more information on the Nevada's implementation of the Common Core State Standards which became the Nevada Academic Content Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics.
History of Common Core State Standards in Nevadathrough 2014, prepared by NDE.
The standards outline what students should master in each grade and shape curriculum development at each grade level. The standards establish a clear roadmap of academic expectations, so that students, parents, and teachers can work together toward shared goals. The standards are clear, concise, and relevant to the real world, focusing on the knowledge and skills students will need to succeed in life after high school, in both postsecondary education and a globally competitive workforce.
The Common Core State Standards and Higher Education
The Common Core State Standards are anchored in expectations for college readiness. Higher Education will benefit as students graduate from high school better prepared for college and need less remediation. College students who do not need remediation are also more likely to earn a degree or finish a certification program and at lower costs to themselves and their institutions, which will mean resources for other areas. Higher education faculty will also be able to spend more time going deeper in to complex material with their students.

Nevada Common Core State Standards Steering Committee
In June 2013, Governor Brian Sandoval created the Common Core State Standards Steering Committee co-chaired by the Chancellor of NSHE and the Nevada Superintendent for Public Instruction. A copy of the Governor's Executive Order creating the Committee, meeting information available through the Nevada Department of Education, and the Committee's final report submitted to the Governor in December 2013 follow:
Assessment Consortia
In 2010, Nevada joined the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (Smarter Balanced), a state-led consortium working to develop next-generation assessments that accurately measure student progress toward college- and career-readiness. Smarter Balanced is one of two multistate consortia awarded funding from the U.S. Department of Education in 2010 to develop an assessment system aligned to the Common Core State Standards by the 2014-15 school year. The second multistate consortia is the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC).
In 2014, the State Board of Education selected the Smarter Balanced assessments to replace the Nevada Criterion Referenced Test in Reading and mathematics for grades 3-8 and writing in grades 5 and 8. For more information on the selection and administration of these tests beginning in school year 2014-15, please see the NDE website.
CCSS Implementation and NSHE
The Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) is a key partner in the successful implementation of the CCSS in Nevada and is actively participating in many related efforts:
- In April 2014, the Chancellor and Nevada's State Superintendent for Public Education provided a joint presentation to Nevada's Legislative Committee on Education regarding statewide implementation history of the CCSS and future considerations.
- In July 2013, the Board of Regents adopted a resolution expressing support for and encouraging long-term commitment by the State of Nevada in the adoption and implementation of the CCSS.
- In March 2013, the Board of Regents adopted a new K-12 Alignment policy under Title 4, Chapter 16, Section 2 of the Handbook authorizing institutions to enter into agreements with school districts to provide college readiness programs, including remedial and 100-level courses at a registration fee appropriate to cover at least the costs of the program, including but not limited to the instructor's salary, supplies and equipment needed, and appropriate overhead costs. The registration fee must be approved by the President. Institutions must report annually to the Board on the programs offered, the number of high school students served, and the approved registration fees charged.
- Over the years, individual NSHE institutions have often worked with local school districts in their service areas on various educational issues important to K-12 and postsecondary students. The partnership between UNR, TMCC, and the WCSD to offer college-prep courses in local high schools was highlighted at the June 2013, Board of Regents meeting. Such partnerships may serve as collaboration models for ensuring successful implementation of CCSS throughout the State going forward.
- In 2012, Nevada received the NGA CCSS Postsecondary Collaborative Grant to identify steps necessary for a seamless transition from K-12 into college and careers. Areas of examination under the grant include transition courses and options to help high school seniors who do not meet college-readiness benchmarks under the new assessments based on the CCSS; communication strategies to explain to students, parents, policymakers, and other stakeholders the anticipated impact of the more rigorous CCSS and related assessments; and NSHE faculty preparation to understand the value and positive, tangible impact of the CCSS in educating future NSHE students.
- The Colleges, Schools, and Departments of Education within NSHE are actively preparing future teachers in Nevada to teach under the CCSS.

10 g nano reef help
last week i came across a 10 gallon tall tank
its around 1ft wide by 1ft back and 1.5ft tall
so i decided i would set-up my first nano ever
i have
api testers
a hob filter i was going to fill with live rock and live sand
a thermometer
a hydrometer
a 50w heater
a small plastic refugium (going to use it to keep copepeds plentiful)
reef salt
and just picked up an ro machine for quite cheap in the trading post
i still need to pick up a power head and lighting but waiting till i know
exactly what my tank will require before i do so.
i plan on first adding live rock and sand untill the tank is completely cycled then work from there
so just a few questions
im hoping to keep some corals and mandarin gobies
what corals would anybody here recomend with mandarin gobies?
how strong should the current be?
what lighting would i need?
would you recomend a skimmer?
thanks for the help in advance
oh and i know mandarin gobies arent recomended for a nano, because of the lack of copepeds, but i will be seeding copepeds straight from a culture kit and feeding the mandarins manually
How big of a copepod culture are you planning on growing? It will need to be a huge population, since you will have to put copepods into a 10 gallon daily to even have a chance of keeping mandarins alive. Power compact lighting will work for a 10g. Definitely get a skimmer.
- 29g FW - Community - Congo Tetras and a mated pair Kribensis
- 55g SW - Royal Gramma, 6-Line Wrasse, 2 Ocellaris Clownfish, and various corals and inverts

ive changed my mind about the mandarin gobies,
will most likely stick to just corals for now and
maybe a couple inverts eventually, ive read that
keeping just corals, theres no need for a skimmer
just regular water changes, because a skimmer
can filter out nutrients they need to thrive?
Even if you cultured copepods IMO it would be extremely difficult if not impossible to support 1 mandarin goby long term muchless multiples in a system so small. Your tank is very small and due to its very limited footprint you are restricted greatly in what you can keep. The fact that your using a refugium is excellent, also are youplanning on running a protein skimmer? I would suggest the Fission Nano skimmer is about as small as you can go and honestly Ive heard some pretty decent things about them, unfortunatly no experience myself. But hey its a cheap investment at less than $30 and any skimmer is better than none. Your also going to need a pretty serious light fixture to penetrate the 18" depth with only a 1ft surface to do it in, its going to be challenging. Personally I would go with one of the 70watt clamp on metal halide fixtures...the JBJ K-2 Viper http://www.marinedepot.com/JBJ_K_2_V...FIMHCO-vi.html would be my choice for lighting. For circulation definatly get a Koralia nano pump...they are excellent especially if you plan on going reef. I would personally stick to easy and fairly hardy polyps and mushrooms especially in a nano they offer alot of color and are easy to keep.3x75 gallons|2x55 gallons|2x50 gallons|3x40 gallons|1x29 gallon|1x10 gallon

i do like the look of polyps
i'll look into a skimmer asap
Before you decide on what lighting you are going to get, you are first going to have to make a list of the corals you intend to keep. For polyps and mushrooms, 30 or 40 watts of power compact light should work.

Oh boy. Moody's said it might do it, and now it has. It's cut the credit rating on a handful of U.S. banks, including Goldman Sachs (GS), JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Morgan Stanley (MS).
Goldman Sachs Group had its long-term senior unsecured debt cut to Baa1 from A3; JPMorgan Chase & Co. had its long-term senior unsecured debt cut to A3 from A2; and Morgan Stanley had its long-term senior unsecured debt cut to Baa2 from Baa1.
Moody's Peter Nerby and team explain their reasoning:
Moody's acted on the systemic support assumptions incorporated in the ratings of the eight groups as follows: 1) did not change the support assumptions for bank-level senior debt; 2) removed all uplift from US government support in the ratings for bank holding company debt; 3) reduced loss severity assumptions for bank holding company debt; 4) reduced uplift for bank-level subordinated debt. Moody's also aligned the support assumptions for certain systemically important international subsidiaries with those of their primary domestic affiliates…
Based on Moody's updated views on US government support and standalone bank considerations, Moody's lowered by one notch the senior holding company ratings of Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Bank of New York Mellon (BK).
The ratings on Bank of American Corporation (BAC), Citigroup, Inc. (C), State Street Corporation (STT) and Wells Fargo & Company (WFC) were left unchanged.
Shares of JPMorgan have dropped 0.9% in after-hours trading, while Goldman Sachs has dipped 0.2%, and Morgan Stanley has fallen 0.7%.

Happy 10th birthday, Alijah!
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Alijah, Personal
Wow. Today, my son Alijah turns 10 years old. As a parent, it feels impossible to not look back and reminisce. Ten years--a full decade. So much time, and yet it feels almost like an instant. I'm so happy to see him get excited about his birthday coming, and hearing the little things he is interested in doing to celebrate, comparing them to the things I remember wanting to do back when I was a ten-year-old little boy. It's also interesting to remember the post I wrote five years ago, when he turned 5. It was the first birthday where he really understood that it was his day, the day he was born, and where he picked what he wanted to do (eat dinner at Red Robin because he liked the cartoonish bird "statue" they have at the restaurant.)

Listen to my appearance on Not What I Thought with Pam Hoelzle
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Alijah, Business, Personal
I made an appearance earlier today on Pam Hoelzle's Not What I Thought show, talking about some of my background and what led to me where I am today with running Gear Live, my family life, growing up, etc. Quite a few people have been asking me to talk about "my story," and while the opportunity hasn't yet come up for that, this was a good 30-minute chat that touched on a lot of key points. You can listen to it here.
Aside from me, you'll also hear from Dellann Elliott talk about her husband's battle with brain cancer, as well as Q 13's own Bill Wixey, as he talks about his cancer story. If you don't listen to hear me, you should still listen for those two, as each of them has a powerful and inspiring story.

Alijah's 5th birthday: Looking back
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Alijah, Personal
Today, my son Alijah turns 5 years old, such an amazing milestone in life for any child. This is actually why I'm missing about 70% of CES 2009, since the event pretty much always falls on his birthday. I wanted to be sure I was home for this one. It's special in so many ways. First, this is the first birthday where he really "gets it" and has a high level of excitement. In fact, this morning when he woke up, he immediately came to tell me that it was his birthday, he is now five, and that he wants to eat at Red Robin. Can't really argue with that logic. I know, right?
Besides all that though, thinking back to Alijah's birth, it's such a reminder of the true miracle that he is here with us, and that he is okay. For those that don't know, Alijah was born almost 3 months early, and spent 11 weeks in intensive care, the first 9 of which were spent on a respirator that did his breathing for him. He weighed in at less than 2 pounds when he was born, and the entire situation just looked dire. Like every parent out there, I remember that day as if it were yesterday. Monica was having painful cramps, so we went to the emergency room at what I think was around 3 AM. The pain was getting worse by the minute, and by the time I had parked (after dropping her off at the front door with a nurse) and got to the floor that she was on, I could hear her screaming from the hallway. Easy way to find her room, if nothing else.

Faculty to read Bishop poems, April 19
Posted April 12, 2006; 11:54 p.m.
Faculty members in the Program in Creative Writing will read from a new collection of work by poet Elizabeth Bishop at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 19, in the Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St.
Bishop, who lived from 1911 to 1979, wrote slowly and published sparingly, but is known for the technical brilliance and formal variety of her work. During her lifetime, she won virtually every poetry prize in the country.
Alice Quinn, poetry editor of The New Yorker, will lead off the April 19 event with an introduction of "Edgar Allan Poe & the Juke-Box: Uncollected Poems, Drafts and Fragments." She edited the work, published last month, drawn from 3,500 pages of Bishop's material housed in the Vassar College library.
Reading the work will be Paul Muldoon, Joyce Carol Oates, James Richardson, Tracy Smith and Susan Wheeler.
The event is part of the Althea Ward Clark Reading Series.

Things Are Changing On The Top of the World
This is the Tibetan Plateau at an average elevation of 4,500 metres (14,800 ft) it's one of the highest places people live on Earth.
Student Exploration
When Is Thick Blood A Bad Thing?
How high is the Tibetan plateau? Well, high enough that there is 40% less oxygen there than at sea level. 40%! Imagine doing any activity that leaves you breathing hard in that environment. Now, imagine that every day you need to hike into the mountains with your herds or gather dung for your fire (yes, you read right, "dung" - you'd have a hard time finding trees on the Tibetan Plateau). This is the life of many Tibetans. Their ability to live and thrive in an environment which is hard on other Homo sapiens is an irresistible question for researchers. Now, with improvements in molecular biological techniques, researchers are getting closer to understanding how Tibetans manage these incredible feats and how they differ from other humans.
- Tibetans Show Recent Evolution from AMNH http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IXTUns1Q68
Extension Investigation
Use the resources below to answer the following questions:
- What is a common occurrence for people traveling to the Tibetan Plateau? Does this happen to the people who live on the plateau?
- How do most people adjust to low oxygen levels in the air? Do you think this may have an energetic cost to these people? What effect does this have on their blood?
- How do Tibetans cope with a low oxygen environment? How could this condition have spread through the population? Be as specific as you can in your answer.
- How long do researchers think the Tibetan population has been separated from the Han Chinese population? Do you think the Tibetans are an example of microevolution? Why or why not?
- Researchers found 30 genes with mutations when comparing Tibetans to the Han Chinese. How many of these genes were related to oxygen and the blood? Do these findings support the idea that the genetic differences seen were related to altitude? Why or why not?

Matisse - the frame in focus
In preparation for the new display of the gallery's French collection, one of our masterworks by Henri Matisse made its way to the conservation workshop. It was not the painting that needed the conservator's attention, but the frame that surrounds the work.
The work and the frame
This image by Henri Matisse is from 1905 and is a portrait of Madame Matisse, but it is also known by the name 'The Green Stripe'. The painting is framed in a gilted frame, and on the basis of its ornamentation and stylistic design can be dated back to the New Rococo period.
The frame is oil gilded with gold leaf and has an underlying dark red bolus, which gives a warm glow to the gold. On top of the gilding the edges are painted in broad strokes with gold bronze, which has darkened with time and, therefore, can now be seen clearly. It is possible that Matisse himself painted the frame with gold bronze, since there are other examples of his works where he has 'adapted' the frame's appearance to that of his paintings by painting on them.
The frame structure and damage
The frame is constructed in a very traditional way of its time. When the frame's ornamented profile was cast in plaster, it was then attached to a core of wood. Before this technique was invented, a carver usually cut-out the frame profile in solid wood, which was more time consuming than the technique of plaster cast. Frames made of solid wood are usually more stable than frames made with of plaster casts. The latter are generally fragile to impact as they can crack and parts of the ornamentation can break off.
The damage to the frame of the portrait of Madame Matisse consisted of a loss of the ornamentation and cracks, increasing the risk of further loss. In the upper left corner a larger piece of the frame profile was missing, as parts of the leaf ornamentation were broken off. This disrupted the experience of both the frame and the painting, and marred the aesthetic expression.
Treatment of the frame consisted of a surface cleaning, consolidation of the cracks and loose parts as well as filling cracks with a mixture of chalk, satin and animal glue. Also, the missing piece of the ornamentation was restored. This was done by taking an imprint of one of the intact corners, and then filling the casting mould with plaster. This new plaster cast was then adapted by hand and polished so that it was identical with the lost part of the ornamentation. The fitted plaster cast was then glued on to the frame with animal glue.
The reconstructed part and other fillings were then retouched with acrylics and watercolour and in order to match the rest of the frame.
The work can be seen in the new, permanent display of French art 1900-1930 from 28 May 2011.

Via Tulane sports law professor Gabe Feldman, former NFL linebacker Barrett Green has sued the Redskins, Williams, and tight end Robert Royal for a knee injury Green suffered in 2004, when Green played for the Giants.
Per Feldman, the lawsuit alleges that "Redskins coaches directed their players to disregard criminal and civil laws, as well as NFL rules, to intentionally injure opponents." Green also contends that he was "suspicious" Royal may have specifically targeted Green.
After the league announced the discovery of a bounty program with the Saints, players coached elsewhere by Williams claimed that Williams used a bounty system in places other than New Orleans. The NFL opted not to investigate the use of bounties by other teams that employed Williams, possibly because the NFL realized that it was a much broader cultural reality of NFL football.
In our view, the NFL had no desire to venture down that rabbit hole, because the NFL would have realized that imposing crippling punishment on the Saints for doing what many other teams had done would have been grossly unfair. As former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue reasoned in the decision striking down the suspensions of various Saints players, culture change should happen more gradually, with all offenders having a chance to cease the now-frowned-upon practice before anyone is disciplined for it.

imposing crippling punishment on the Saints
The best-case scenario would be Goodell fired by the NFL for gross incompetence.
Royal was a TE. When did the defensive coordinator tell him to do it? This doesn't have a prayer

Lytton Strachey made up the business about Thomas Arnold having short legs. Arnold—headmaster of Rugby, father of Matthew Arnold, paragon of manly 19th-century Christian rectitude and one of the subjects of Strachey's Eminent Victorians—had perfectly normal legs.
From This Story
Related Content
But Strachey, for his own sly purposes, invented the indelible detail: "[Arnold's] outward appearance was the index of his inward character: everything about him denoted energy, earnestness and the best intentions. His legs, perhaps, were shorter than they should have been." (The Strachey touch is to be admired in the pseudo-diffident "perhaps" and "should." It added something to the joke that Strachey was a tall, dramatically ungainly man, built along the lines of a daddy longlegs.)
Other writers—Dickens, Wilde, Shaw, for example—assaulted the Victorian edifice without inflicting much permanent damage. But Strachey was an exquisitely destructive cartoonist, and his timing was as nice as his instinct for detail. Eminent Victorians appeared in the spring of 1918. After four years of the Great War and the slaughter of much of a generation of Europe's young men, hitherto imposing figures of the preceding age (Strachey's other subjects were Florence Nightingale, Gen. Charles "Chinese" Gordon and Cardinal Manning) seemed threadbare, exhausted. So, indeed, did the British Empire. Strachey's book became one of the 20th century's classic pieces of literary demolition, deft and deliciously unfair, an enactment of the late columnist Murray Kempton's crack about those who come down out of the hills after the battle is over to shoot the wounded.
The transition from one age to another brings a change in the lenses through which people view the history that is just past and their own place in the history that is now unfolding. The universe of those in power is mocked by those who are not in power—at least not yet—as, say, the television satirists Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert mocked the administration of George W. Bush.
But the power changes hands. What then? What lens does the mind use in the new dispensation?
I think of such questions as the 21st century tries to sort itself out—economically, politically, environmentally—and to organize its perspectives as it hastens into a new age. We need to have a context to imagine ourselves. What is our narrative line?
Ecclesiastes says there is "a time to break down and a time to build up": the oldest dynamic. King Lear, the "old majesty," goes mad and expires. Goneril and Regan are consumed. Somewhere beyond the curtain of the fifth act lies a world more stable and sane, less petty and less murderous and less ignoble.
A pedestrian subtheme is always at work at the same time. As Emerson said, "Every hero becomes a bore at last."
Napoleon acted out this bathos. On St. Helena, his young aide-de-camp, Gen. Gaspard Gourgaud, kept a journal:
October 21 [1815]: I walk with the Emperor in the garden, and we discuss women. He maintains that a young man should not run after them....

Sharon and I stayed close to home this Thanksgiving. My parents were traveling, so we invited a few friends over for dinner. My wife can cook. And she can decorate. The table was perfect. The food was too. And at the end of the evening, Sharon prepared to-go boxes and sent everyone home with leftovers to enjoy the next day.
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays.
But for the families of two of my friends, sadness found its way into the week. And Thanksgiving Day did not go as they had planned.
Last Tuesday, in the Ambulatory Surgery Center at Good Shepherd Hospital in Longview, a man went on a stabbing spree—leaving four people injured, one critically. A nurse lost her life in the confrontation.
The man's name was Harris Teel. He was stabbed in the heart while waiting for his son to come out of surgery. He is the father of a friend I used to teach with. He is still fighting for his life. And I know that his family is on their knees praying for his survival. I am lifting up prayers for Mr. Teel and his family as well.
The nurse was Gail Sandidge. When she heard the disturbance, she left the patient she was caring for to be of assistance. She too was stabbed in the heart. She was related by marriage to a dear friend who is a member of the church where I worship. Gail was a wife, mother, sister and dear friend to so many. And besides being a devoted nurse who loved her patients, she was a believer who walked close with God.
I didn't know Gail. But I have been in that part of the hospital as a patient before, and the nurses on that floor have been a blessing to me.
As I reflected on this tragedy, I remembered a day six years ago when I was having a catheter surgically implanted in my chest just above my heart. The catheter would serve as the entry point for my chemo drugs. The morning of the surgery, I was apprehensive. But then a nurse breezed into my cubicle and smiled warmly. She asked me about my cancer and I told her I had lymphoma. Then she told me that she was a stage 3 breast cancer survivor. "Your oncologist," she said, "was also mine, and he's the best."
Then she did something extraordinary. Something I will never forget. She looked at me and said, "I had the same procedure you're having today. I had a catheter placed in my chest too—Here, let me show you my scar." And she pulled the collar of her uniform down just enough to show me where the catheter had once been. "You don't have to be afraid," she said. "You're in God's hands. It's up to us to fight the cancer, and it's up to Him to do the miracles. And He can do miracles. I'm living proof."
She didn't know me. But she knew how to bring calm into that cubicle. She expressed vulnerability. She showed me her scar. She made the unknown known. She didn't waste her cancer.
And when she left the room, Sharon whispered, "Little angels."
Last Tuesday, when Gail went home to be with the Lord, heaven certainly gained another precious angel.
I know Gail's family is mourning her death. But as he reflected on the loss, Gail's minister, the Rev. David English, said this: "We grieve, but not like those without hope. God can and will redeem this loss somehow, although we may not be aware of it this side of heaven."
His words struck me. Each one of us, after all, is living just this side of heaven.
I am mindful, always, that my life is a vapor. Six years into remission, I understand that each day is a gift from God. And each day is filled with gifts for us to treasure.
I live a blessed life. And I am grateful—for my wife, my family and friends, and for the students on this campus that God has entrusted into my care. Each day, I have the opportunity to invest in their lives, with the dream that they will, in turn, invest in the lives of others.
And so, while I'm still this side of heaven—
May I be a faithful servant to the students in my classroom.
May I be a man who reveals the heart of God.
May I be willing to share my scars with others.
And may I remember that someday on the other side—". . . there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain."
(Revelation 21: 4)

"While Mr. Spence has come away impressed with how 'curious and open' Chinese officials are, he also doesn't mince words about how serious China's problems are. With the global economy increasingly dependent on China, the danger is that the nation is 'on a collision course with its own growth model,' he said in an interview."
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — A. Michael Spence won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science in 2001 for esoteric research on how people make decisions when critical information is hard to obtain. But by that time, after more than a decade and a half as an academic dean at Harvard and Stanford, many of Mr. Spence's colleagues had begun referring to him as a "former economist."
Mr. Spence, who turned 70 last year, begs to differ: He learned to become a better, "older" economist, he countered.
With his background in studying information, he began thinking about how the Internet, compressing time and distance, would strengthen supply chains around the world. In 2005, the World Bank asked him to give the keynote talk at its annual conference on poverty reduction. Worried that he had little useful to contribute, he balked. "Why would you want me?" he recalled asking.

ChildFund Disaster Management Team Leader
Guatemala is experiencing the beginning of a nutritional emergency caused by drought in the country's eastern region, known as the coredor seco — the dry corridor.
The lack of rainfall caused some Guatemalans to lose their entire harvest for 2009. The loss will have a year-long impact on these agricultural communities, as each family normally stores its harvest until the next rainy season. They depend on their crops to provide food for all family members.
This crisis is predicted to increase in gravity this month. In the coming months, affected families will not only lack their own food stores, the poorest community members will be unable to purchase food, as prices spike during a drought.
In Guatemala, the agricultural sector accounts for one-fourth of national GDP. The drought has already generated a high local unemployment rate, eliminating subsistence agriculture as a form of employment.
Given all of these deteriorating conditions, malnutrition is already present in children under age five in some communities. In response, ChildFund Guatemala is redirecting funds in affected communities to address this crisis. We will be providing nutritional supplementary food to the most vulnerable children in ChildFund communities. In addition, we will be working with parents on the use of kitchen gardens and orchards and providing education on nutritional health. By introducing alternative resources and skills, we aim to help children and families better cope with this crisis.
In the eastern areas where ChildFund works, there are no other international partners. ChildFund will use current community-based monitoring systems and will increase coordination with Guatemala's Ministry of Health as a means of strengthening community management of malnutrition.
To donate to the ChildAlert emergency fund, click here.
Thank you, Anne, for this news. I had not heard of this in the US media. I sponsor a child in the Xalapan project. Can you tell me whether this project is in the area about which you have written? I assume it is.
Here's what we have learned from ChildFund's Guatemala area coordinator for the emergency response: The area covered by the Xalapan project has been severely affected by the drought. The communities are in the Jalapa Mountain area and are within the "dry corridor".
Thanks for this information. Beside a donation to the emergency fund, I suppose a way to help would be to send an extra monetary gift to my sponsored child and his family through the ChildFund office here in the States?
Yes, you can donate to the ChildAlert emergency fund (click link in blog post and choose Alert fund from drop-down menu), or you can contact our Donor Services department (800-776-6767) and arrange for an additional gift to be sent directly to the child your sponsor. Thank you for your concern!

Princeton students, faculty and staff members offer photographic perspectives on the question "What Is Love?" in an exhibition currently on view in the Murray-Dodge Hall lobby. "Father and Daughter," taken by senior Marissa Lee, is one of 31 images in the exhibition, which features scenes ranging from familial to natural to spiritual in a variety of international settings.
In "Enjoying the Beauty of Life," taken by senior Angela Rodriguez, a couple observes the interior garden of the San Juan de Los Reyes monastery in Toledo, Spain.

Exploring perspectives on love through photos
Posted January 6, 2011; 12:00 p.m.
A grandmother kneading bread dough for a family meal. A young girl celebrating the coming of spring. Two zebras nuzzling in a game reserve.
Featuring international settings ranging from domestic to natural to spiritual, a series of photographs exploring the question "What Is Love?" is on view in the Murray-Dodge Hall lobby on the Princeton campus. The exhibition includes 31 images selected from almost 150 submissions by University students, faculty and staff members in a contest seeking photographic perspectives on the theme of love.
"Love is the care and kindness with which my grandmother bakes bread for her family," junior Stephanie "Q" Miceli wrote of her photo, "The Secret Ingredient."
Three three winning images that were given special commendation by the exhibition's curators are: "The Secret Ingredient," a photo by junior Stephanie "Q" Miceli of her grandmother's hands as she prepares to bake bread; "Eternal, Unforgettable," sophomore Sofia Quinodoz's photo of a banner depicting the faces of missing loved ones in Honduras; and "Welcome," showing the arrival of a new baby to a family in the Brazilian state of Bahia, photographed by Jennifer Cabral-Pierce, a digital imaging technician for the Princeton University Library.
Vineet Chander, coordinator for Hindu life in the Office of Religious Life, captured this photo, titled "Flowers in Her Hair," at a festival in Mumbia, India, where "devotees joyously shower one another with flower petals and celebrate the coming of spring as a gift of the Divine."
Several images in the exhibition show couples or family members -- both young and old -- embracing or enjoying each other's company in various surroundings. Others reflect less traditional depictions of love. In a photograph by Vineet Chander, coordinator for Hindu life in the Office of Religious Life, a girl is joyfully showered with flower petals at a festival in Mumbai, India, marking the arrival of spring. In another image, taken by junior Christina Gupfinger, a pair of zebras share a kiss at the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve in South Africa.
"Some photos display the ecstatic experience of love in a moment, and the enduring love of a mother for her children," said Paul Raushenbush, associate dean of religious life and one of the exhibition's curators. "Yet others are more ambiguous, such as the banner of the faces of beloved, 'disappeared' men in Central America, reminding us that, in Princeton Professor Cornel West's words: 'Justice is what love looks like in public.' The photos reaffirm the centrality of love in sacred traditions and in our relations to one another and the natural world."
The exhibition features several images that reflect whimsical depictions of love, such as "Anna and Chicken, 2009" by junior Alex Knoepflmacher.
The curators' aim is for viewers to be "inspired by this exhibit to consider where you find and offer love in your lives so that love might increase in our families, communities and the world," Raushenbush added.
"What Is Love?" is the latest in an annual series of exhibitions of photographs by Princeton community members who were asked to submit images addressing concepts such as sacredness, family, peace and hope.
The exhibition will be on view in Murray-Dodge until Wednesday, Nov. 30, and also can be viewed online.
Sophomore Sofia Quinodoz's photo, titled "Eternal, Unforgettable," shows a banner of remembrance honoring missing loved ones in Honduras.
In addition to Raushenbush, curators for "What Is Love?" were: Deborah Blanks, associate dean of religious life; Alison Boden, dean of religious life and the chapel; Cynthia Cherrey, vice president for campus life; junior Habin Chung, executive editor for photography at The Daily Princetonian student newspaper; Makeba Clay, director of the University's Fields Center for Equality and Cultural Understanding; Thomas Dunne, associate dean of undergraduate students; Patricia Fernandez-Kelly, senior lecturer in sociology; and Demetrius Oliver, lecturer in visual arts and Princeton's Lewis Center for the Arts.
The exhibition is sponsored by the Office of Religious Life, the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students, the Office of the Vice President for Campus Life and The Daily Princetonian.
Jennifer Cabral-Pierce, a digital imaging technician for the Princeton University Library, documented the arrival of a new baby to a family in the Brazilian state of Bahia in this photo, titled "Welcome."
"Zebra Kiss" was taken by junior Christina Gupfinger at the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve in South Africa.
Describing her photo, "Once Upon a Gondola," sophomore Sajda Ouachtouki writes, "In Venice, sunset is the most romantic time of day to take a ride on a gondola. Families, friends and lovers stand on long lines in order to be able to take a ride across Venice's shimmering waters."

Cryptococcosis is the disease caused by the fungus Cryptococcus. Infections with C. gattii have occurred in both healthy persons without compromised immune systems and in persons with conditions affecting their immune system. A wide range of animals can also develop C. gattii infection. C. gattii spores appear to live in association with certain trees and the soil around trees. Humans and animals can become infected by inhalation of airborne fungi which are spread from these sources. C. gattii infection is not known to be spread from person to person, animal to animal, or from animals to humans. Infection with C. gattii may cause a pneumonia-like illness, with shortness of breath, coughing, nausea, and fever. Another common form of C. gattii infection is central nervous system infection, such as meningoencephalitis. Symptoms may include fever, headache, or a change in mental status. Symptoms from C. gattii infection are estimated to begin anywhere from 2-14 months after exposure. Treatment of C. gattii sometimes requires prolonged therapy with antifungal drugs.
C. gattii infection is diagnosed by microscopic examination and/or culture of tissue or body fluids such as blood, cerebrospinal fluid and sputum. The cryptococcal antigen test is a rapid test that can be performed on blood and/or cerebrospinal fluid to make the diagnosis. Culture of the organism is essential to differentiate between the two species, but C. gattii cannot currently be distinguished from C. neoformans without special laboratory testing available through special laboratories and the state health department.
There are no formal recommendations for the prevention of C. gattii infection. However, patients with signs and symptoms of infection are urged to see their physician for medical evaluation.

Let's keep the brown bag blues at bay by sharing what we are serving up the kiddos for lunch...all ideas welcome!
Let's keep the brown bag blues at bay by sharing what we are serving up the kiddos for lunch...all ideas welcome!
Julie, married 19 years to my best friend Daniel, homeschooling Mom to 4 boys
the kids eat lunch at school. We get reduced lunches. I just can't make up a lunch for cheaper then .40 but i used to love sending them with packed lunches! I used to cut the sandwiches into cute little shapes with cookie cutters. I always had a little note in there and a small piece of candy too as a treat, not to mention other foods.
the boys have been going crazy over dried, whole cranberries (not craisens- they have added sugar) you have to watch what kind you get, one brand I found added oil- the plain ones are sooo yummy and I don't mind them eating a bunch!
I read a Family Fun magazine at the dr's office. It had some neat ideas for lunch box! One I will do for DS next week is Hot dog bun with peanut butter and a whole banana! peeled of course! They said add jelly to it. I like mine just plain ol' PB and banana! It will be a change anyway! Does anyone else eat PB and banana? I like mine mushed together~! MMMMMMMMMM I have PB here at work! But, no banana!
Found this link to a neat lunch planner...the kids can pick something from each category and you can even print up their selections for the day. http://www.albertsons.com/Rhythms/Lu...sp?erBrand=jwl

cut up pineapple
nilla wafers

Your kids sure do get a lot of variety!
We're still on summer holidays so our lunches are quite unusual right now. Next week we're back into it full tilt tho.
Our regular lunches are:
* two sandwiches (h/m bread) with choice of filling. usually ham, jam, peanut butter, cheese & mayo, salami if I have it. Pretty boring really
* something home baked
* fresh fruit
If they're lucky I might make mini quiches this week and freeze them before, school goes back.

wow......I'm still getting over reading about a school lunch for .40. Here in California, our school lunches are $2.50!
DD buys her lunch off-campus (uses her money).
DS1 never eats lunch at school, so he's starving when he comes home because "it's not cool to bring lunch"----then it's two turkey sandwiches or two peanut butter sandwiches with whatever else he finds (yogurt, fruit) and about twelve glasses of milk (kidding about the milk.....maybe)
DS2 brings his lunch still, and it's pretty much what everyone else has posted, although he doesn't like fruit juices so he gets a Propel water.
Now, how do I get hubby to STOP eating out every workday?????? That's a budget-breaker for sure!
My dh takes leftovers to heat up in the microwave at work Weetie. Either that or he comes home and makes a salad sandwich ~ he works 800m away from home though.
Why don't you talk to him about it and see what kind of storage (ie. fridge space) and reheating/kitchen facilities he has at work and find out what he would love to eat for lunch. Even if you could find some way to send the kinds of foods he buys, it's cheaper and healthier to make those things at home.
Put a spin on it so that he feels loved and cared for and that you want to bless him in this way, rather than just ranting about the money. If he's like my dh he'd turn around and say "I earn the money I can spend a few bucks on lunch". If I throw a container at him on his way out the door with yummy food that he has enjoyed he feels special. Takes me all of 2 seconds!

#Saints contacted #49ers to attempt to interview 49ers DBs coach Ed Donatell for their DC job. He's under contract. #49ers blocked interview
It's absolute crap that one team can't interview another team's coach for a promotion position. I understand requiring permission for latteral moves, but this shite is ridiculous
It's for the same position.
It's for the same position. wouldnt that be lateral?
The NFL does not differentiate between levels of assistant coaches in its rules regarding their availability to interview with other teams. Whether the coach is a defensive line coach or an offensive coordinator, the rules are the same. If a team wishes to interview an assistant coach who is still under contract with another team for its head coaching position, the current team is required to give permission for the interview as long as it happens between the end of the team's season and March 1. After March 1, teams can still ask, but the current team is not obligated to give permission.
An NFL team cannot interview an assistant coach who is under contract as an assistant with another team for the following season without the permission of his current organization. Teams will usually give permission upon request, particularly if a lower level coach is set to take an offensive or defensive coordinator position elsewhere, but the current team is not required to give permission.
another NFL clusterfrick rule... Coaches are divided by Head Coaches and then everyone else No differentiation between position coaches and coordinators

Another day, woo. Recently the battle has been lets get linux to work with an ADSL modem. The manufacturer has drivers Alcatel But the adsl provider here BellSouth uses PPP over ATM for the connection. With the 'official' drivers this requires a kernel patch that (surprise, surprise) broke under kernels 2.4.xx (where x > 5) Luckly This is a userland solution to the PPP over ATM stuff and as an added bonus its GPL'd. (though it uses the binary microcode from alcatel to actually get the modem to do something besides look cute with two green led's on it)
Now if the kernel would stop locking up from time to time for no apparent reason life would be good.

TUPELO – Outside of a few power lines and trees, Lee County weathered last night's thunderstorms without significant damage.
Lee County Emergency Management Director Lee Bowdry said he received reports of damaged power lines and downed trees in Tupelo, Nettleton and Shannon around 6:20 a.m. Bowdry said the damage reported was all minimal.
The National Weather Service is predicting the rest of Thursday to be overcast with occasional strong wind gusts.
Storm warnings, watches out in Mississippi
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Severe thunderstorm and tornado watches and warnings spread across Mississippi on Thursday along with a fast-moving storm with winds up to 60 miles an hour in some places.
The National Weather Service said the storm system was expected to be out of the state in most areas by mid-day leaving behind much cooler temperatures and gusty winds.
There were some early scattered reports of downed power lines and tree limbs.
In Warren County, officials said about 2,200 people were still without power at midmorning.
Entergy spokeswoman Tammy Rankin said at its peak at 4:26 a.m., about 9,000 people throughout the county were without power, she said. The largest area without power at midmorning, Rankin said, was in the Yokena community.
Warren County Emergency Management Director John Elfer said the wind pushed trees onto power lines, downed power poles and blew out several transformers.
Roads were temporarily shut down so crews could remove trees and limbs.
Elfer said he had no reports of injuries or damage to homes.
By about 8 a.m., Elfer said all roads were open.
Rankin said blown transformers and power lines were not the only reason power was out.
"We had an entire substation that was out as a result of the storm," Rankin said. "That substation was the biggest outage we had. It put out power in the southeast part of the county, around Flowers and Bovina."
Joanne Culin, a meteorologist with Weather Service in Jackson, said some light rain may continue Thursday in some areas but much of the system was moving quickly out of the state.
"We're going to get some pretty gusty winds — 25 to 30 miles and perhaps upwards to 45 to 50 miles an hour in some places — and much colder air. Most areas reached their high for the day Thursday morning," Culin said.
Forecasters said temperatures could fall to near freezing in many areas.

It's been a while (again) since my last post so I guess some catching up is in order.
First and foremost, these increasingly longer absences keep me thinking about closing down this place. I had a rationale posted on the first day for why I wanted to have such a blog and for a time it worked out. Right now, despite a lot of things going on in my life, I hardly have anything important to share with my meager audience. I've always believed that a non-existent blog is a better thing in the so-called "cyberspace" than one where its author has nothing important to say, so don't be surprised (not that you would, right?) if this one ceases to exist shortly. Not much entropy getting lost, I guess.
Anyway, the web app I've been somewhat talking about for the past few months is still under development. Needless to say, not nearly enough time has been spent on it, at least not as much as I would have liked to give to it and definitely not as much as it needs. Still, it's usable, it's real, it already has the potential of making people's lives (a bit) easier. That's more than many can claim.
However, we still need to take than final step, which is obviously pushing it out the door, for the world at large to pick it up at will. That's what we've been reluctantly focusing on lately. We started using 37Signals excellent project management web app Basecamp. To quote Jim Coudal during his keynote talk on the latest SXSW, Basecamp (and the other 37signals) take the bullshit out of communication. We've been experiencing this first-hand, as Basecamp truly takes a uniquely simplified view of project management and developer collaboration. Everything revolves around three simple concepts: messages, TODOs and milestones. Everything else is just treading water, really, so forget about functional specifications, Gantt charts and all that mess. My chances of becoming a 37signals Getting Real evangelist have just increased tenfold.
We've also been using Campfire for real-time chat and that's been working out too. It's going to become important from this week on as we will be physically distant for a good three months and the project cannot stop now, of all times. Coupled with Writeboard, Campfire has everything we need to communicate effectively during project development.
So where do we stand right now? As I said before, we're pushing for public release soon. We've set a July 21st deadline ourselves within Basecamp and I wonder how realistic that can be. We'll try but considering how novice we both are, I seriously doubt it. We already cut a lot of features we'd like to have up front, but there's a need to realise that "release early, release often" must leap from theory into practice. It was true for open source apps but I believe it's more true than ever when it comes to web apps nowadays.
Personally, after a long and crappy semester at university, there's no need or reason to deny that I'm very tired, kind of burnt out actually, and in need of something completely different from what I've been doing for the past few months/years. Hopefully next year will be my last academic year (well, it must, as I've been doing this for far too long) and then I can look forward to the rest of my life from a very different angle. I don't want to make these last five or six years sound like crap, because they weren't, but I guess it's finally taking its toll. I've never been an easily likable person, I've always hated going with the flow and making peace both with God and Devil at the same time. But lately it's been a downward spiral of small, mundane, average, day-to-day conflicts with people that probably don't deserve it and, most of all, conflicts inside my head. I'm just dog tired of it all and for every place where my guilt is written, here's an apology.
Well, I guess this is just the net result of these past few months of controlled insanity, of constant restarts. That's it. Tired of constantly restarting every damned day.
There's two exams to go and then I can forget about school for a while, hopefully (and that's a long shot, for a thousand other reasons I could get into but won't) recharging my batteries for the last decisive year.

If static, I can put a rule into Cloudflare that always allows your connection (they only do that if something weird is going on, either the IP range is known to be spammy, or it's a concerning proxy or something, I think)

I have a 150 gallon established tank. o o less than 20ppm, I have a sump and am wondering which canistar filter would be good. most depend on gravity to keep it flowing, right , and next to my sump there would be no drop to the filter . It would have to draw it like a HOB does. would they do that, I was hoping for the FX5 Fluval. thanks any sugestions would be great. I like the artical about multifiltration.
If you got levels like that and a well working sump I see little point in adding a second. If you're nervous about things failing maybe get a backup pump in stock?
An fx5 is huge and should make a big impact on your tank. It's manual clearly says:
The filter lid must be at least 7.8 in. (20cm) below your
aquarium's water level but never more than 4.9 ft. (150cm).My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

Editor's Note: This profile of one of our Home of the Year winners originally ran in May of 2012. We're highlighting past winners in anticipation of the May 2013 release of the new Home of the Year winners. You'll want to check back in May, because the new winners are awesome.
How do you transform a room unfit for any type of home theater or sound system into the homeowner's favorite place to entertain? Start with some smart decorating—and add some serious A/V sizzle.
Every part of this 5,100-square-foot home in Union Bridge, Md., had been artfully furnished and decorated… except for the spacious great room. This area had gone virtually untouched for months, outfitted with nothing more than a small TV on a simple stand, a couch, and a few chairs. As the main entertaining space of the house, it was dire need of an upgrade.
Custom electronics firm Gramophone of Timonium, Md., called on its in-house interior designer, Bethany Johnson, to choose paint, light fixtures and a furniture layout that would make the audio and video sound and look its best.
For example, windows surrounding the fireplace could have introduced too much light into the space, which would have washed out the picture on the owners' new 65-inch 3D Panasonic TV. It didn't help that the TV chosen for the space was a plasma-based display. "Plasma TVs are noted for their great contrast and vibrant colors, which is why we chose it, but the Achilles' heel is that they are highly reflective," says Gramophone sales manager Lee Kirby-Smith. The solution: motorized blackout window shades custom-made by Lutron Electronics for all but the crescent-shaped windows. These shades can be controlled together or individually via a handheld remote.
To curb the reflection caused by artificial lighting, Gramophone repositioned some of the existing recessed ceiling fixtures, added decorative wall sconces to minimize the need for the overhead lights, and tied everything to a wireless Lutron RadioRA 2 control system. This system allows the homeowners to dim and brighten groups of lights to predefined intensity levels by touching one button on a handheld URC MX-980 remote control. An entertain button, for example, dims the recessed ceiling fixtures so nothing shines on the TV screen, but brightens the wall sconces so there's enough light for guests to mingle. Gramophone also programmed all on and all off buttons into the remote.
The cathedral ceiling and hardwood flooring, meanwhile, were doing the audio system no favors. To minimize echo and reflection caused by these hard surfaces and so dialogue would sound more intelligible and effects more impactful, Gramophone hung three fabric panels on the back wall and added a large area rug and a big leather sectional. The rugs, couches and window shades dressed up the space, while optimizing the performance of the room's new big-screen TV and surround-sound system.

General Features
Speaker Specifications
CD Specifications
Playback Features
MP3 should not be confused with MPEG-3. MP3 files are the third audio layer of a MPEG-1 file. The compression algorithm of a MP3 file reduces the file size while keeping the audio quality.
WMA stands for Windows Media Audio and was developed by Microsoft. It is a file used specifically for audio.
The audio compression AAC stands for Advanced Audio Coding. They generally tend to have better sound quality than most MP3 files.
More uses of Bluetooth technology include transmitting music to a compatible receiver, printing wirelessly from a computer, and many other wireless uses. Please see the item description for more specific information regarding what features the unit includes.
iPod Compatibility
Some Car stereos are compatible with iPods and/or iPhones. If the headunit can connect to an iPod or iPhone via USB or iPod connection cable, these listed iPods are compatible. This list does not apply if the iPod is being connected through the 3.5mm mini-jack plug. Newer iPods are usually compatible if the appropriate adapters are purchased and used.
Any iPods/iPhones released after the release date of this product have not been checked by the manufacturer and/or Sonic Electronix for compatibility. We therefore cannot guarantee their compatibilities or incompatibilities, including, but not limited to: playback, video, charging, and response time.
RCA Composite Inputs
These are your typical red, white, and yellow RCA composite cables that are common among devices with audio and video inputs. The red and white cables are dedicated for audio. The red cable is for the right channel and the white is for the left channel. The yellow cable is specifically for the video signal. Because this type of auxiliary cable contains 2 channels of audio, it will support stereo sound.
This is commonly referred to as a mini-jack or a headphone jack. It is a 3.5mm plug that transfers audio only. There is a right and left audio channel on the plug which allows for stereo sound playback.
3.5mm AV Input
These plugs look similar to the common 3.5mm mini-jack, however they carry a third channel dedicated for video.
This means that an auxiliary input is possible, but only with the use of an optional accessory. These optional adapters will sometimes use the CD Changer port or other port on the back of a unit that might restrict the use of other expandability features. These accessories are typically sold separately.

School has kept me really busy. Lots of grading, but is a lot of fun to teach. Classes are ok. Genetic Algorithms is really interesting/screwed up.
Geek related
On the geeky side, I have not had much time for development, but I'll be hosting a PHP/MySQL workshop for the ACM chapter in 2 days. That sounds like it will fun, the only problem is that I am getting sick, and I hope I don't get worse by then.
Also, mrbook.org is now my old PII350. I put a lot of goodies on the server. I really like the qmail+vpopmail+sqwebmail setup.
I went to see Tool last friday and what can I say... I am speechless. The only problem is that there were some pretty stupid people throwing shoes at Maynard, and he stopped singing in the middle of pushit. That sucked. I bet that the shoe idiot upgraded to XP the first day it came out.
Next concert... King Crimson!@@!$!@#%%@#!@%#! Oh Yeah, I have waited my whole life for this.

Electricity—Direct Access
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Direct Access Service?
Direct Access Service is an optional service that allows customers to purchase electric supplies and additional energy services from a competitive Energy Service Provider (ESP), rather than from Pacific Gas and Electric Company. Although customers will purchase their electricity from an ESP under direct access service, Pacific Gas and Electric Company will continue to deliver the electricity through its transmission and distribution systems.
Who can sign up for this service?
Any electric customer can take advantage of direct access service. However, the right of retail customers to acquire direct access electric service was suspended on September 20, 2001. (see additional info on Suspension of Direct Access Service)
How does Direct Access Service work?
To take advantage of direct access service you will need to contact an ESP. If you agree to the ESP's terms, conditions and prices, the ESP will submit a request to switch you from bundled Pacific Gas and Electric Company service (electric supply, transmission and distribution service) to direct access service. Your ESP will also inform you of any billing and metering options available to you. If you are not a small customer (generally defined as residential and small commercial) you will be required to have an interval meter in place.
What is an Energy Service Provider (ESP)?
An ESP is an individual or company that contracts directly with its customers to provide electric supplies. ESPs may serve only selected markets, such as large commercial and industrial customers, or all customers including residential
What advice can Pacific Gas and Electric Company offer on selecting an ESP?
We are prohibited from recommending any participating ESP. However, a list of ESPs is available on our website. ESPs are marketing their services throughout Pacific Gas and Electric Company's service territory. They may use advertising, direct mail, personal contact or other means to promote their services.
Will Pacific Gas and Electric Company lose money if I switch providers?
Pacific Gas and Electric Company does not make a profit on the sale of electricity to its customers due to the way electric utilities are regulated. We make a profit from moving electricity through our transmission and distribution systems as well as from other sources, but not from the sale of electricity itself.
What are my ESP's responsibilities?
Your ESP is responsible for arranging to have adequate supplies of electricity scheduled for its customers. We are authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to recover costs from an ESP it if fails to meet its scheduling obligations. Pacific Gas and Electric Company serves as the default provider should your ESP fail to arrange for an adequate supply of electricity.
If I choose another provider, will the electricity be different?
No. The quality of the electricity provided to you is the same high quality that you would otherwise receive.
Will I save money?
It depends. ESPs purchase electricity from a number of different sources and through a variety of contractual arrangements, all of which may be priced differently. Some ESPs may offer attractive pricing options or other incentives or the convenience of other services. Choosing another provider may or may not result in savings. You should investigate the various options offered by different ESPs to determine what savings, if any, you would realize. We do not guarantee that every customer wills save money under this service option. Your savings will be based on your ESP's ability to purchase electricity at a lower cost than Pacific Gas and Electric Company.
Can Pacific Gas and Electric Company match an ESP's offer?
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regulates the rates for all of Pacific Gas and Electric Company's customers; therefore, we are not permitted to set our own electric supply prices to match an ESP's offer.
How do I sign up?
If you are interested in direct access service, you should first contact an ESP and discuss your options. If you decide this service meets your needs and wish to proceed, the ESP will request that we switch your account to direct access service.
If I switch to another provider, how will I be billed?
That depends on the ESP. You could receive one bill that includes charges for the electric supply, transmission and distribution, or you could receive two bills; one from your ESP for the electric supply and one from Pacific Gas and Electric Company for transmission and distribution. The billing terms should be defined in the agreement with your ESP. In any event, you will continue to be responsible for payment of Pacific Gas and Electric Company's transmission and distribution bill, regardless of the payment arrangements made between you and your ESP.
What can I do if I'm not happy with my ESP?
The agreement with your ESP should outline the cancellation process and conditions. If an ESP terminates service to you, you will be returned to Pacific Gas and Electric Company's bundled service.
What criteria must ESPs meet?
ESPs must register with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and meet its financial and technical viability standards. ESPs must also sign a service agreement with Pacific Gas and Electric Company and meet our credit requirements before conducting business in our service territory.
Are ESPs regulated?
ESPs are not regulated by the CPUC or Pacific Gas and Electric Company. However, the CPUC carefully monitors the activities of all ESPs. In addition, state law requires that all registered ESPs disclose their prices, terms and conditions of service to you in writing.
What if I have a dispute with my ESP?
Consumers may proceed with a dispute against a registered ESP by either filing a complaint with the CPUC or filing an action in the judicial court system.
If I buy my electricity from another provider, whom do I call in case of an emergency?
You should continue to call Pacific Gas and Electric Company in case of any emergency involving electric service. We will also continue to respond to your safety-related calls and maintain the distribution system leading to your home. We can be reached at 1-800-743-5000.
If I purchase my electricity from another provider, will additional power lines be put overhead?
Except in very rare instances, no additional power lines will be installed. Electricity purchased from ESPs will be distributed through our existing transmission and distribution systems.
I receive assistance through California Alternate Rate for Energy (CARE) and quality for other low-income programs. How will all these changes affect me?
Changes to the electric industry do not mean low-income services will be cut. The state legislature has passed a law – which we endorse – that says efforts to protect the environment and programs to help low-income customers with their energy bills will stay in place.

Helen Frankenthaler
Helen Frankenthaler was born in New York in 1928. She studied at The Dalton School, New York under the Mexican muralist Rufino Tamayo and at Bennington College, Vermont, under the American cubist Paul Feeley. In 1950 Frankenthaler met the critic Clement Greenberg and began mixing with the artists of the New York School, including Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. As a much younger artist, she emerged as one of the 'second generation' of Abstract Expressionists.
Frankenthaler standing in front of Freefall October 1992 photo: Marabeth Cohen-Tyler
At the age of 23, Frankenthaler found her individual style with the large oil painting Mountains and sea. Frankenthaler placed the canvas on the floor, thinned her oil paint with turpentine and painted with the diluted wash in a technique she called 'soak-stain'. The 'soak-stain' technique was a radical departure from her earlier work and had an immediate impact on many artists, including Morris Louis and Kenneth Noland who successfully adopted the technique for their Color Field paintings.
Frankenthaler describes her method of painting as 'a fighting, loving dialogue with this piece of material. You force something on it and it gives you an answer back … until you know that this is right'. As we can see in her work, her finely tuned skills allow for both control and spontaneity.
Other generations [above] painted in 1957, is an example of Frankenthaler's signature style.

I haven't been buying many (any) of the Clone Wars figures, but I decided to give Clone Commander Cody from the second wave of figures a try.
I'll start by saying that I do in fact enjoy the new cartoon, and for what it's worth, I also happen to like the style of it. This figure manages to capture the look and stylization of the cartoon character very well I think.
Though simplistic, the figure is well sculpted. The overall paint application is decent, though again simplistic, but given that everything is neat and relatively error free, I think they did a fine job.
The build quality is surprisingly good with this figure. I was more than surprised to find that this spidery, almost mannerist version of a clone, has some really durable parts and pieces. The thing is very well put together, with some nice tight joints that enhance the value of its great articulation.
Just about the only complaint that I can think to raise, is that they may have accidentally reversed the shin pieces on my figure. But after a little boil-and-pop, I was able to set them right. (See the last photo for a comparison.)
As a result of its show accurate sculpt and well made parts (which it should be noted includes the accessories), I give this a very high play value rating. This toy is kid friendly, and to be honest, has encouraged me to pick up other figures from this particular line. Before this I'd only grabbed the Yoda figure, but wasn't impressed. Clone Commander Cody has far exceeded my expectations, and has reminded me once again, that Hasbro is capable of building fun toys if they really try.

the force.net reported a spy report from a "reliable source" that that aurra sing, not tusken raiders, kill shmi. they didn't come out and say it, but hinted around that palpatine sent aurra to kill shmi for two reasons, 1. to draw anakin and padme out of hiding and, 2. to open the door for anakin's turn to the dark side.
they also didn't say it, but reading through the lines, they, like some have done here in the past, speculate that palpatine is anakins father.

After a stint at trying burn out at my old job, I have been working at getting back to life. Unfortunatly, the new job I have been put into is a bit disorgainized, and so I am not sure what is happening. At least I have a boss who is working on a few good projects. I am sure I will muddle through.
I have used the time to decide that I will no longer dream of contibuting software, as young folks can write several apps while I am just doing an outline. Instead I will concentrate on getting folks to use the fine software that others have written.
OF course, the nice folks at Stats Canada, are giving me more motivation to work at my new found task. They have decided to Hire An Amrican Defence Multinational or two to write the software for the May 2006 Census, and in the process created a 4 million Dollar web application that will only work on Windows and Mac. The application checks its enviroment before it will run, and depends on a specific version of Java.
True, most the limitations seem to be from This COTS Package which claims to be Multiplatform.
MCR does have some good analysis on his page.
