STAR WARS HOMING BEACON - The Official StarWars.com Newsletter
2005-06-23 - Issue #139
Welcome back to the Homing Beacon, the official newsletter of
The following is a sample entry of the new Set Diary series now
available for Hyperspace members. In the summer of 2003,
correspondent Pablo Hidalgo filed daily reports on the making of
Episode III, but by necessity most of the plot details were obscured
as to not spoil any secrets. Now that the movie is out, much of what
was too hot in 2003 can be discussed, with further insight into the
making of Revenge of the Sith.
It's one of the fieriest debates of online fan forums: when Palpatine
was cornered in his office's giant window-frame, was he really
overpowered by Mace? Or was he faking to lure Anakin? Could Mace
really have gotten the upper hand on the Sith Lord?
George Lucas is the ultimate keeper of the true answer, and he's not
telling... yet, anyway. If you had asked me in the Summer of '03,
when the sequence was first shot, I would have had a solid answer.
But, if you asked me in the Fall of '04, when the sequence was
re-shot, well... for those who want to debate, it's best to know more
of the story of how this scene came to be.
This entire sequence changed significantly during postproduction.
What we witnessed in Sydney told a different story. Anakin did not
earn Mace's trust by ratting out Sidious right away. He did not
agonize over his decisions while sitting alone in the Jedi Council
chamber. He did not rush in at the last minute to witness a
questionable balance of power. Instead, he stayed at Palpatine's
side, in the Chancellor's private office, as Mace and his posse of
Jedi barged in.
"Stand behind me," ordered Mace, in Sam Jackson's demanding tones.
But Anakin didn't budge. Instead, he watched passively as Palpatine
used the Force to snatch Anakin's lightsaber from his belt and
attacks Mace and the Jedi. There's ample evidence of this original
version for those with sharp eyes and behind-the-scenes photos. Heck,
even Hasbro action figures with Palpatine packaged with Anakin's
lightsaber got out there in the initial shipments.
So, if Sidious' entire duel played out before Anakin's stunned eyes,
I'd be inclined to think that his fall was just for show. This
changed after a screening George Lucas held for a few key colleagues.
Their reactions underscored the shortcomings of the way this duel was
constructed. Anakin's inaction was hard to justify cinematically.
"The story was there, but it wasn't clear," said Lucas at the time it
came to rebuild this scene. "It was too abstract. We opened up that
part and looked at what we could do."
When word of the change came down, the keepers of continuities
started carefully tracking the evolving consequences. Palpatine had
two lightsabers, then, since he loses this one in the duel with Mace.
I still have in my inbox a tentative email from one of the authors
asking, "um, have we figured out yet whose lightsaber Palpatine uses
in the fight with the Jedi?"
At first, it was feared it was impossible to CG the small
svelte-handled weapon over Anakin's relatively chunky handle, but
nonetheless, that was the lightsaber given to McDiarmid for the
pickup photography. The shots of Palpatine rising from his chair and
extending the weapon were reshot. The bulk of the duel between
Sidious and Mace stayed from principal photography, except for a new
touch -- a kick to Palpatine's face, done with stunt double Michael
Byrne. This was shot on a partial set of just a piece of window-frame
on Friday, August 27.
So... with this revised duel, if Sidious threw the fight, it places
an awful lot of faith on Anakin's timing ...and he suffered a
kicked-in face to boot. For what it's worth to those arguing, I doubt
there's anyone who thinks Palpatine's serious when he claims he's too
weak. That's obviously a lie. But was the fall into the corner that
preceded his pleas for help a lie as well?
What else changed in this scene? There are a few more interesting
details, particularly where it moved in the sequencing of the story.
But that will have to wait for another entry.

I considered posting this in the other thread but I think it's rather unusual that there is an official discussion of this sort of fan debate, so I thought this merited its own thread.

When Carlos and Bethe returned home, it was too quiet, it felt strange to not have Nick's noise and energy. When they spotted Nick's blanket, which was inadvertently left behind, they broke down. It was going to take some time to get used to life without Nick.
Carlos and Bethe remind me of all of the people that loved our sons before they became ours. Birth family, neighbors, strangers, orphanage workers. Most of the people who cared for them, we will never know, never get a chance to meet, never get to thank. Mikias was four and Jemberu was three, when they became our sons. We know they were loved. They knew hunger, they knew terrible loss but they knew love. They knew that they mattered. They trusted us to take care of them. They returned our hugs and kisses. They quickly found their places in our family. We know that we can't take credit for that. In their important first years, they were loved, like Nick was loved by Carlos and Bethe. What an indescribable gift.
Carlos and Bethe, and every person who gives love and temporary shelter to a child, paint a picture of what love looks like. And that picture takes my breath away.

'"Not everything's going to go your way," Miller said about the rough season he's experienced. "It's a lot like life. You're going to have ups and downs, and how you handle those ups and downs is a big thing. If you're going to sit there and wallow in it, you're probably going to be a person that doesn't see the light at the end of the tunnel and get any satisfaction out of life."'

The great team at the Joint Replacement Center at Evangelical, was the key to getting me back on my feet, and back out there! Not only that, they follow up with you for months after your surgery and rehabilitation, just to make sure you're still making progress and feeling great. And I definitely am.

Syracuse, N.Y. • Jim Boeheim notched his 903rd career victory, breaking a tie with Bob Knight for second all-time among Division I men's coaches, and No. 7 Syracuse rolled past Rutgers 78-53 on Wednesday night in the Big East opener for both teams.
Boeheim, in his 37th season at his alma mater, trails only Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, who has 940 victories.
Syracuse (13-1, 1-0) has won 33 straight home games, the longest active streak in the nation, and has beaten Rutgers (9-3, 0-1) 13 straight times. The Orange's last home loss was to Georgetown, 64-56, on Feb. 9, 2011.
No. 1 Duke 67, Davidson 50 • Ryan Kelly scored 18 points to help No. 1 Duke remain unbeaten with a victory over Davidson in Charlotte, N.C.
Quinn Cook scored 15 points and Mason Plumlee scored eight of his 10 in the second half for the Blue Devils (13-0), who are one of only four undefeated teams remaining in Division I.
The game was tied 29-all at halftime before Duke opened the second half with a 12-0 run. The Blue Devils, who led by as many as 19 in the second half, heated up from 3-point range after the break, going 3 for 4 in the early minutes of the period.
Jake Cohen led Davidson (7-6) with 19 points and eight rebounds despite battling through early foul trouble, and De'Mon Brooks added eight points and 12 rebounds in the Wildcats' 24th straight loss to Duke.

AMES, Iowa — Soccer, baseball, tennis, golf — youth sports are big news in many communities and a big part of life for many families. But whether children's experience of sports is good or bad depends in part on their parents' involvement and attitude. In June, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is sponsoring an interactive webinar to help parents do their part to make sure their children's experience with sports will be positive.
The free webinar, Provide Positive Sports Experiences for Kids, is Thursday, June 13, 8-9 p.m., and features ISU Extension and Outreach family life specialists Donna Donald and Lori Hayungs. Advance registration is not required.
"Parents make decisions with their children about when to start a sport, what sports are a good fit, whether to play individual or team sports and how much of the family resources to invest," Donald said. "Positive parent involvement is crucial to help children develop an active lifestyle and keep the focus on fun."
"We'll discuss the benefits of sports for children and youth, but we'll also take a look at the pitfalls and negatives when sports become more than fun. We'll examine competition and the role it plays in children's sports experiences," Donald added.
The webinar is part of the Science of Parenting, www.scienceofparenting.org, a resource from ISU Extension and Outreach sharing research-based information to help parents rear their children.
Participation in the webinar is easy and convenient, Hayungs said. Webinar attendees may participate from any computer with Internet access. Participants will hear the presenters through their computer speakers and will have the opportunity to interact with the presenters and other attendees using a chat box in the webinar meeting room.
Prior to the webinar, participants should make sure their computer meets the minimum computer requirements, Hayungs said. "Visit our webinar connection page to test your computer's ability to participate in the webinar. If the diagnostic test finds that you don't have the required software, you will be automatically provided with a link to the free download."
For computer requirements and how to connect to the webinar, visitw http://www.extension.iastate.edu/families/page/sop-webinar. Contact Hayungs, firstname.lastname@example.com, or Donald, firstname.lastname@example.com, for more information.


text: Sharon High School French teacher is 2013 Massachusetts Teacher of the Year A Sharon High School foreign language teacher, who told her parents after sitting through her very first French class as an 8th grader that she wanted to teach high school French someday, was recognized May 8 with the state's top honor for educators. Elementary and Secondary Education Commissioner Mitchell Chester used the occasion of National Teacher Day to name Kathleen M. Turner as the 2013 Massachusetts Teacher of the Year. Turner, of East Walpole, is the state's 51st recipient of this award and automatically becomes the state's candidate for the National Teacher of the Year Program, according to a DESE media release. "One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is the opportunity to recognize excellence in teaching, and I am pleased today on National Teacher Day to honor the incredible educators we have working in classrooms across Massachusetts," said Chester. "Massachusetts educators are well represented by Kathleen Turner, who through her leadership and exceptional teaching provides students with a well-rounded education that enriches their lives and prepares them for success beyond high school." "The teachers that had the greatest impact on my life were the ones whose passion for teaching and learning inspired us to aim high," said Education Secretary Paul Reville. "I want to thank Kathleen Turner and our teachers across the Commonwealth for the work they do to inspire and equip our young people with the tools they need to succeed." Turner grew up in Northbridge and attended Northbridge High School. After graduating from Harvard College in 1994, Turner was hired as a French teacher at Sharon High School. Since then, Turner has been instrumental in building the school's French program. Turner also regularly takes students to Paris during spring break, plans annual trips to Quebec City, and has established an exchange program with a school in Rouen, France. Kathy Turner "is the best and brightest of what we all are," said Sharon Teachers Association President Chuck Fazzio.Turner's students have demonstrated impressive results on the College Board's AP French exam, according to the DESE. In the past six years, over 90 percent of the 123 students from Sharon High who took the exam scored a 3 or higher. The other five Teacher of the Year finalists for this year's award are: Scott Balicki, a Chemistry teacher at Boston Latin School in Boston; Maureen Knowlton, a Special Education teacher at Millis Middle School in Millis; Paula Plock, an Elementary Education teacher at Williamstown Elementary School in Williamstown; John Scopelleti, an English teacher at South Shore Regional Vocational Technical High School in Hanover; and Alison Spade, an Elementary Education teacher at Boston Renaissance Charter Public School in Boston. In addition to being named the 2012-2013 Massachusetts Teacher of the Year on May 8th, Turner will join other outstanding educators, including the Massachusetts History Teacher of the Year, the Milken Family Foundation Award winner for Massachusetts, the finalists for the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching, and Teacher of the Year finalists and semifinalists, to be honored at an awards ceremony on June 18, 2012.

text: Both S&W and Colt would special chamber revolvers for the British Military Officer so there are probably some .455 chambeed revolvers in the empire somewhere but I have never seen them. The .45 S&W was also listed for the new model #3 without the modification that S&W had to pay royality to Col, Scofield for. I have not seen that many new model #3s in real life that I could handle. I have seen more of the 38/44 target and 32/44 target than the much more common 44 Russian.

About the Book
Drawing from the horizons of science, today's leading thinkers reveal the hidden threats nobody is talking about—and expose the false fears everyone else is distracted by.
What should we be worried about? That is the question John Brockman, publisher of Edge.org ("The world's smartest website"—The Guardian), posed to the planet's most influential minds. He asked them to disclose something that, for scientific reasons, worries them—particularly scenarios that aren't on the popular radar yet. Encompassing neuroscience, economics, philosophy, physics, psychology, biology, and more—here are 150 ideas that will revolutionize your understanding of the world.
Steven Pinker uncovers the real risk factors for war * Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi peers into the coming virtual abyss * Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek laments our squandered opportunities to prevent global catastrophe * Seth Lloyd calculates the threat of a financial black hole * Alison Gopnik on the loss of childhood * Nassim Nicholas Taleb explains why firefighters understand risk far better than economic "experts" * Matt Ridley on the alarming re-emergence of superstition * Daniel C. Dennett and george dyson ponder the impact of a major breakdown of the Internet * Jennifer Jacquet fears human-induced damage to the planet due to "the Anthropocebo Effect" * Douglas Rushkoff fears humanity is losing its soul * Nicholas Carr on the "patience deficit" * Tim O'Reilly foresees a coming new Dark Age * Scott Atran on the homogenization of human experience * Sherry Turkle explores what's lost when kids are constantly connected * Kevin Kelly outlines the looming "underpopulation bomb" * Helen Fisher on the fate of men * Lawrence Krauss dreads what we don't know about the universe * Susan Blackmore on the loss of manual skills * Kate Jeffery on the death of death * plus J. Craig Venter, Daniel Goleman, Virginia Heffernan, Sam Harris, Brian Eno, Martin Rees, and more

Editor's Note: In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year--so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around the Windy City. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know!
As some of you know, I'm the resident assclown in charge of Lunch in the Loop, so I'm always excited to see new things pop up downtown in Officeville. Right now the competition for best Mediterranean food in the area is at an all new high with places like I Dream of Falafel, BenjYehuda, Roti, Mezza Mediterranean Grill, Haifa Cafe, Oasis Cafe—and those are just off the top of my head. There's a Naf Naf Grill about to open up, and as I strolled around for lunch one day, I happened upon Nesh Mediterranean Grill.
And they serve something I don't see often: turkey. You're looking at the Turkey Shawarma Shrock ($6.50), which is a flatbread that is about as thick as a flour tortilla. I'm so used to chicken shawarma that the deeper poultry flavor is a welcome change. Nesh Mediterranean Grill also offers tzatziki sauce, which brings a lighter, more refreshing, and less bitter taste than classic tahini. The turkey suffers from a bit of cartilage, but is otherwise moist and comforting. Add some of your favorite fresh salad toppings and you've got a well rounded lunch.

rust problems-50 checy coupe
The car I just Got Is a 1950 chevy coupe.I Know the last time it was inspected was 1974. The rust on the top portion of the car(truck, hood and roof)is alot greater than every where else.My question is being that long of time rusting, at least 20 years, what do you guys think is the best way of fixing the problem & is it possible to replace the biggest portion of the roof with sheetmetal and still have the strenth and looks that I want?Thanks :)
It is a possible thing to make the repairs to that car..check into www.metalmeet.com and the knowledge base here...find some of Randy Fergusons posts and read those..
in orde to keep this within a doable budget figure on learning how to do metal..
there are quite a few threads about rust as well...may just look bad and just need to be cleaned..
Check body exterior for some tips on that..
good to have ya aboard..:welcome:
Yea, im hoping that it does just need to be cleaned with as little metal work as possible but I got several buddies who will help me out on the welding. and grinding. Thanx alot for the reply. ill check out the link!:)
check this out
Harbor freight has some fiber brushes that go on your small drop head grinder..they work well for cleaning and do not remove metal tha tis when used carefully..might be just the ticket..just be careful to not get the metal hot and warp it..then look into some of the rust treatment stuff in the body/exterior forum...
One thing not ot do is to do anything that thins the metal..like grinding a lot or sanding a lot..Sand blasting can ruin a body big time if not done by an expert..
Just my two cents..
50 chevy rust
"The car I just Got Is a 1950 chevy coupe.I Know the last time it was inspected was 1974.

testlights, i'm also doing a 50 chevy coupe. i had problems with rustout under the stainless trim around the belt line. what i did was backup the holes with a piece of brass & mig weld them closed & grind them smooth. then i'd shine alight on the back side & find more holes & repeat the process until no more light shone through. the brass did 2 things: 1st it kept the weld from burning & falling through & 2cnd it absorbs heat thereby eliminating most all of the warpage. this method works really well if there aren't too many holes & they aren't too large.
from what you're desrcibing it sounds as if you're car sat out in the weather for a long time & has alot of surface rust on it. try a DA sander with 80 grit & see what's under the rust. ( being careful not to sand too much or too long in 1 spot, possibly making it too thin or warping with too much heat. ) it might not need as much metal replaced as you might think. you'll find pits that sanding won't take out. run over these LIGHTLY with a wire wheel on a grinder. you'll probably find a few holes here & there that can be repaired with the aforementioned method. there may be some small places where it's gotten thin enough for a small patch to be made from 18 or 19 ga. steel. this can also be backed up with brass to greatly minumize warpage. that's the great thing about the roofs of these cars, you can get to the underside of most of it. after all the repairs are done a good rust converter primer such as por-15 or eastwoods' rust encapsulator is in order.
it is also perfectly acceptable to fix badly pitted areas & a few small pin holes with fiberglass reinforced bodyfiller. the fiberglass filler ( also known as kitty hair ) is water proof & can be applied to bare metal. just be sure to get ALL of the rust off 1st!
although i spent twenty years welding in steel fab shops i am also relatively new to sheetmetal, bodywork & rust repair. the best advise i can give is to take your time & work slowly. don't try to get it too perfect. if it gets overworked you can end up with a condition known as "oilcan" ( warped stretched metal that will push in or out but won't go flat ). i feel that if i can work a place well enough that an 1/8 of an inch of filler will cover it that's good enough. start in the easy places 1st & work toward the harder ones as you gain experience.
there are some great books available at your local bookstore on bodywork & paint. get a couple. last but not least check out the eastwood co. for a good selection of bodywork & restoration supplies.
Thanx Blue chev, I will try your method with the light and brass.Im gonna try to do it all by hand,from what I heard about sandblasting it can be harmfull if not done right so ill just take my time with it/ Thanx alot
A few pictures would help greatly for giving you sound advise.
To start with, you will need to get rid of the majority of the rust by sanding. 80-180 grit on a DA will get it knocked down pretty quick. You're not trying to remove the rust entirely at this point, but rather making the surface somewhat smooth. Sanding will not get all the rust out of the pitted areas, so don't worry about it at this stage.
Once you have the surface smooth again, you can start cleaning is thoroughly with a good rust remover. There are perhaps hundreds of companies out there selling rust removal products, and each one will tell you theirs is best. In my experience, they're all about the same. DuPont 5717S is an old standby as is Rust-Mort. If you look at the 'ingredients', you'll find that they all use phosphoric acid. This is what you want for removing the rust.
This is painstaking process and will take several hours, if not days to get to good shiny metal, but you CAN get there. It just takes tons on HARD WORK!!!
Unlike what others have advised, POR-15 and it's counterparts are all gimmicky crap! as is most of the JUNK sold by the Eastwood Co.
Your best bet is to have it dipped at Redi-Strip, which uses a non-acid based formula for removing paint, rust and anything else but good ol' metal from your cars body. For about $1200.00, you can have nice clean metal to work with. You'll know exactly where the problem spots are and with the aid of a few pics, we can help you get started replacing bad metal. With just a little practice, you can metalfinish your cars body and not have to worry about that nasty body filler stuff. When you get to that point, I'd be more than happy to talk you through the process.

while i have nothing but respect for the skill level that mr. fergusen has attained, i promise you it will take more than "just a little practice" to get to where you can work metal to a point that no filler is needed. that takes years or in the very least a natural talent which i for one donnot possess. methods using filler & products from the eastwood co. are perfectly acceptable to most of us. i don't have the time or the patience for that kind of work. plus the fact i'm not building my car or my '50 chevy p/u for shows or to win trophies, they're my 1st groundup projects & i'm very proud of them. i wonder if you have $1200 to spend getting your car stripped at redi-strip, ( i sure don't ) plus whatever it takes to get it there. i think the closest ones to AR & TX are in chicago & indianappolis.
Hey Bluechev,
Perhaps we'll get the chance to meet one day.
I'll show in just a few hours how to metalfinish. You'll not have to work filler again!!!! It's a learned skill, that believe it or not, isn't that hard once you learn a few basic rules.
Do a search for Redi-Strip. It's a national chain and I think they're scattered all over the US.
If you're doing everything yourself, then I guess maybe $1200 sounds high, but if you're hiring it done, it's a different story. TO me, It's a small price to pay to have every little part of your vehicle totally rust free and ready to go to work on. $1200 is 20hrs of labor, based on $60.00hr. I can't come close to getting one clean in that amount of time, nor nearly as good, so if you look at it from my angle, you save lots of money by having Redi-Strip do it.
If you're offended by my low opinion of POR-15 and the Eastwood Co., then so be it. I only speak from experience! I've been there and done that as the sayin' goes!
Randy Ferguson
yes i am doing it all myself & 1200$$$ is more than i can afford. most of us do the best we can with the resources we have available to us. mr. fergusen, i'm not so much offended by your opinions as the way you present them. you could have shared your methods as an alternative without being durogatory towards the rest of us & the materials & methods we choose to use. if your ideas are so good then you shouldn't need to run anyone elses down. i learned a long time ago the truth needs no defense.
perhaps we will meet sometime, but for your sake i hope you learn some manners first.
I am trying to spend as little money as I have to.I would like to do as much as I can myself( or with the help of good friends) for the reasons of im saving money and at the end ill know that I had a big part on my project.I know that a good sum of $money will be needed for my engine and drivetrain and the Mustang II subframe I want. If I had alot of money for this the "dip" would be nice, but Im stuck on a low budget and I know that this car will take me years to build.But it will be done:P
I've posted several tutorials here and have tried to help out those who have asked for help in any way possible. I've even opened my shop up to anyone wanting to come by and use my tools and equipment for their own projects, with or without my assistance.
I have 18 years experience dealing with automotive sheet metal and only about 5 years shaping. I've been through everything you guys have and I have absolutely no secret formula other than hard work and diligence to get where I am. I'm still learning everyday, just like everyone else. NEVER have I said I was better (nor do I believe I am) than anyone else. If you have a willingness to learn, you need to keep an open mind. Having read your post several times, I can only come to the conclusion that you have no desire to spend any more time honing your skills.
testlightST asked in his first post "what do you guys think is the best way of fixing the problem"
I simply gave him what I felt was the BEST WAY to fix his problem.
Not often will you find the CHEAPEST way is also the BEST way.
If he had asked "what is the fastest, cheapest way that I can get by for a year or two, until I can afford a better way" then I would have given a different answer.
This is my business and I can't afford to give advice for products and methods that will not stand the test of time.
Since tone and body language cannot be displayed in this manner, it's easy to read more into what someone is saying, or at least misunderstand how it is being presented.
Believe me, I'm not mad, aggravated, upset, annoyed, etc. Nor do I speak with hostility here. I am opinionated and have no problem voicing my opinions, but that shouldn't cause a flame war between a couple fellow hotrodders.
Good luck with your projects.
Should you ever want advice, and I can be of help, let me know!!

Posted by JP Gownder on March 26, 2013
Technology's value to a business derives at least in part from its ability to increase productivity. The 1987 Nobel Prize winning economist Robert Solow demonstrated that technology increases the productivity of both capital and labor to create economic growth.
Some technologies radically reshape productivity. Take, for example, the cotton gin (1792), which fundamentally transformed labor. A quote from Wikipedia claims: "With a cotton gin, in one day a man could remove seed from as much upland cotton as would have previously taken a woman working two months to process at one pound a day." By profoundly increasing worker productivity, the cotton gin revolutionized both the textile and agricultural industries.
We're living through several technological revolutions of our own right now – in, for example, cloud services, mobility, and big data. One technology that leverages all three to some extent is the tablet, a device I follow very closely.
Tablets drive worker productivity through a variety of vectors. One of those vectors is portability. In our Forrsights Hardware Survey, we asked IT decision-makers who either support tablets today or plan to support them soon why they would do so. IT decision-makers' #1 answer, at 62%? Because tablets are a "more portable form factor than the traditional laptop." This response eclipsed end user preferences, ease of use considerations, and other possible answers.

The Key to Slowing Climate Change? Use Less Energy!
We have already covered the benefits of wind, solar, geothermal and electric cars in this blog space. But perhaps the most effective and inexpensive method to reducing our climate impacts is actually the simplest: improving energy efficiency standards. By making products and buildings that consume less energy, we can help reduce the amount of greenhouse gases needed to meet our energy needs. Energy efficiency improvements are particularly important because they have been proven to reduce energy demand while also saving the consumer money.
A recent analysis from Platts indicated that simply changing to more energy efficient air conditioners throughout the country could save $2.5 billion in energy costs annually and preclude the need for seven new mid-size power plants. The implementation of LEED certification for buildings has also saved billions in energy costs while also allowing property owners to charge more to rent space in these buildings. But almost all tenants end up spending less money renting these buildings because of decreased electric and water bills. Multiple studies have shown that these efficiency technologies end up paying for themselves rather quickly, and people are beginning to realize the benefits.
Even the Republican-controlled House recently passed legislation to improve standards for water heaters, refrigerators and air conditioners. The measure was sponsored by two Republicans and had backing from major industry institutions. Most of the support can be attributed to the demonstrated ability of energy efficiency measures to save money.
Energy Secretary Steve Chu has long been a proponent of energy efficiency measures and has helped bring the issue to the forefront of energy policy. Instituting these low cost changes can help save billions of dollars in the long-term budget picture.
Unsurprisingly, there is hope that a large-scale energy efficiency bill can be agreed upon during the next Congress. A prominent GOP House Energy and Commerce aide recently said that committee members are hoping to work with the Senate to pass "sweeping" new policies to help cut energy use and costs. Recent energy proposals from the House that involved rolling back air pollution rules are no longer being discussed and a more bipartisan effort should be expected in the new Congress. The agreement will likely be based on the Shaheen-Portman Bill, a measure co-sponsored by Rep. Jeanne Shaheen (D- New Hampshire) and Rep. Rob Portman (R- Ohio). Rep. Shaheen hopes that the key provisions of the bill, including reduced energy use at federal buildings and improved building code standards, will remain intact in the new legislation.
The Clean Energy Victory Bonds Act of 2012 would be a perfect complement to new energy efficiency legislation. It would reinforce energy efficiency standards while also making sure that a greater portion of the energy that we do use comes from renewable sources. By tackling the climate problem from both the supply and demand sides, the United States can become a leader in renewable energy solutions, create jobs and cut energy costs from future budgets.

Food trucks compete for Pocatello's approval
'Great Food Truck Race' puts Pocatello on map
POCATELLO, Idaho - Pocatello's Farmers Market was packed with folks lining up to get a taste of fame.
The Food Network's hit show "The Great Food Truck Race" was there filming Saturday.
Food trucks visiting Pocatello revved up for the occasion.
"They start wherever on the West Coast, like L.A., and they go from city to city," said Cassie VanderSloot, an avid fan of the show. "Whoever has the smallest profit in each city gets eliminated."
When VanderSloot found out the show was headed to the Gate City, she took her excitement to twitter. She teamed up with the Samboni Philly Cheesesteak truck.
"These are guys who are in their 20s, and they have always wanted to be culinary people," VanderSloot said. "They've always wanted to have a food truck. They're living their dream."
So why did the Food Network choose Pocatello?
It was a pretty easy choice, according to the executive director of Old Town Pocatello Stephanie Palagi. She was contacted by the show's producers several months ago.
"They were looking for more of a small-town look, and we could accommodate the space, so we're excited they chose to be here at the farmers market today."
Palagi says there's been an influx of people eating at our restaurants and shopping at our stores.
So the extra publicity brings plenty of benefits.
"Folks that live here forget sometimes that Pocatello's a great place to live, so when people come from outside the community and choose to film a show like this, it really does help put us on the map," Palagi said.
"The Great Food Truck Race" always includes a challenge for the chefs.
At Saturday's event, the food trucks were not allowed to use starches like bread and rice.
Everything that couldn't be used by the trucks was donated to the Idaho Foodbank.

Gardening for gorgeous fall color
Homeowners Jim and Jamie deYong chose to mimic the golden hills surrounding their San Luis Obispo home with sunny hues in their garden. A half-dozen species of ornamental grasses grow in neat rows near the perimeter of the garden, tying it to neighboring vineyards. In the front and back courtyards, carex and other short grasses continue the theme, while fiery foliage and flowers add to the autumnal mood.
We've made a guide with the right plants and methods to help you recreate this color scheme in your own yard. Follow this simple formula to produce striking results in any garden, even without the golden hills nearby.

The problem of children being injured while living, working, or visiting agricultural work environments (primarily farms), has been recognized for several decades. Although many individuals and groups have crusaded for the prevention of childhood agricultural injuries over the years, there was not a national, coordinated effort.
This changed in 1991, when the Surgeon General's Conference on Agricultural Safety and Health was held in Des Moines, Iowa. During this conference, a session titled Intervention: Safe Behaviors Among Adults and Children highlighted the risks faced by individuals involved with production agriculture.
In 1992 a Childhood Agricultural Injury Prevention symposium was held in Marshfield, Wisconsin as a follow-up to the Surgeon General's conference. The symposium was sponsored by the National Farm Medicine Center, a component of the Marshfield Medical Research and Education Foundation, which sought to develop consensus on relevant research, education, policy, and other interventions aimed at the reduction of agricultural injuries among children.
The symposium resulted in the formation of the National Committee for Childhood Agricultural Injury Prevention (NCCAIP). Over a 16-month period, members of the committee finalized a National Action Plan that was released in 1996 for addressing the childhood agricultural injury problem. The National Action Plan recommends leadership, surveillance, research, education, and public policy. The plan specifically recommends that NIOSH serve as the lead federal agency in preventing childhood agricultural injury.
Due in large part to the efforts by NCCAIP to raise awareness and concern about childhood agricultural injury issues, and with targeted funding from Congress, NIOSH began implementation of a National Childhood Agricultural Injury Prevention Initiative in October 1996. NIOSH goals for the initiative are to fill critical data needs; establish an infrastructure which facilitates the use of data to develop and improve upon prevention efforts; and encourage the use of effective prevention strategies by the private and public sectors. To date, NIOSH has undertaken a number of activities to address the recommendations in the National Action Plan.

Rutgers Law School-Newark Earns National Recognition for its Strong Commitment to Public Interest Law
In remarks at the Rutgers–Newark 2007 homecoming, the Hon. Virginia Long '66, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of New Jersey, spoke of "the spirit of altruism" fostered by the law school and the important lessons learned at her alma mater. "Rutgers Law School," said Justice Long, "has taught those lessons to generations of law students and out of that unmolded clay has created an army of soldiers for justice, equality and inclusion."

- Tayari Jones To Receive Lifetime Achievement In The Fine Arts Award
- Acting Director of Rutgers' Dana Library Will Be Honored for Outstanding Service to the Minority Business Community
Rutgers School of Law–Newark continues to be recognized for its emphasis on the value of public service and the use of the law to advance the cause of social justice, most recently by prelaw Magazine. In the magazine's ranking of "Best Law Schools for Public Interest" (Winter 2011), the law school received the number three spot. Law schools are ranked if they have one or more public interest clinics, faculty committees/administrators that oversee public interest, and a loan repayment assistance program. The top 20 law schools are then ranked based on their cost, placement, and curriculum.
Indeed, the school's strong public service commitment is evident throughout the curriculum, particularly in its Clinical Program; in activities carried out under the Eric R. Neisser Public Interest Program; and in its Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP).
- Clinical Program – "The clinical program is integral to fulfilling both our service and our education missions," said Dean John J. Farmer, Jr. in announcing the appointment of Professor Jon Dubin as the first Associate Dean for Clinical Education. Students who enroll in one of the in-house, live-client clinics work on cases and projects with far-reaching impact under the supervision of faculty widely respected for their teaching and public service.
In recent news, the Child Advocacy Clinic won major appellate victories in both the New Jersey Supreme Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit; the Constitutional Litigation Clinic petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to hear its case challenging the war in Iraq; the Urban Legal Clinic helped gain the release of a wrongfully convicted client; and the Community Law Clinic helped the composer of a famous jazz composition reclaim rights to the song.
Professor Dubin was honored by the Garden State Bar Association for excellence in service, social justice and advocacy; Clinical Professor Charles Auffant received the outstanding junior faculty award from the Clinical Section of the Association of American Law Schools; and the Clinical Program was recognized by the Rutgers–Newark Chancellor for its 40 years' of providing access to justice to members of the Newark and surrounding communities.
- Neisser Program – Directed by Clinical Professor Laura Cohen and Jessica Kitson, Associate Director for Career Services, the program provides opportunities for students to explore public service through award-winning pro bono projects, fellowship programs and internships, and assists students interested in developing careers in public service.
Prestigious public service placements for the Class of 2011 include the U.S. Department of Justice's Honors Program, Manhattan District Attorney's Office, and Brooklyn Defender Services. Summer 2010 internships included the Federal Public Defender's Office, National Security Section of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, New Jersey Attorney General's Office, Equal Justice Initiative, Legal Services of New Jersey, the Urban Justice Center, the Documentation Center of Cambodia, and the San Francisco City Attorney's Office.
Neisser Program pro bono initiatives include Street Law and the Domestic Violence Advocacy Project. Street Law, in which law students teach disadvantaged youth the practical aspects of the law and government, has received the Rutgers–Newark Chancellor's Community Engagement Award, and its director, Alycia M. Guichard, has been honored by Rutgers University and the New Jersey State Bar Association.
- LRAP – Recognized by Equal Justice Works as one of the most successful in the country, the program provides financial assistance to help reduce law school debt for alumni who are working in public interest/public service employment throughout the country. In the past 12 years, 167 alumni have shared more than $1.12 million in program benefits.
As prelaw Magazine stated, "The public service ethic is ingrained in the fabric of schools" like Rutgers-Newark.

Orem • For a few minutes Thursday night, Lone Peak coach Quincy Lewis paced along his bench, yelling at a clock operator who let precious seconds slip away and at his Knights, who found themselves in an unfamiliar situation.
They were losing.
American Fork's first 3-pointer fell, then its second, third and fourth. Midway through the first quarter of a rivalry game too big for a high school gymnasium, the Cavemen pushed Lone Peak as hard as almost any team has this year and had a double-digit lead to show for it.
But once MaxPreps.com's No. 3 team woke up, the rout was on.
"We did not come out tough," Lone Peak junior T.J. Haws said after the 67-42 win. "And we cannot do that, because one of these time's it's going to bite us in the butt."
For a team that has steamrolled nearly every competitor save for a loss to the nation's No. 1 team Thursday's shaky start will help refocus the Knights, Lewis said.
"We'll use those first three minutes for sure the next week or two," the coach said. "But you look out there and there are good players. They've got good players. They're going to take a shot at you. ... You're not going to go through a season without somebody taking a shot at you."
American Fork (10-6, 2-1) fired first, but the Cavemen had trouble making baskets after Lone Peak went into a half-court trap. American Fork went the entire second quarter and well into the third without a field goal before center Ryan Andrus dropped in two of his seven points.
The Knights, meanwhile, dumped the ball into the post to 6-foot-10 Eric Mika. Haws slashed to the hoop and kicked the ball out to open shooters. Zach Frampton knocked down a pair of triples at the end of the first.
And when Nick Emery caught an outlet pass over his right shoulder and kissed a left-handed layup off the glass, a Lone Peak team that once trailed 10-0 Thursday night had a 20-point lead.
The senior Emery, despite having an off night shooting, finished with 13 points to become Lone Peak's all-time leading scorer.
"There's a lot of great players that came through here," he said. "Tyler Haws, Sam Burgess, my brother Jackson. ... I've been playing here for four years, and I really couldn't do it without the guys on my team."
Emery got plenty of help from Haws, who finished with 12, and Mika, who scored 16 and wowed the 3,100 fans at the UCCU Center with a pair of monstrous alley-oop dunks.
After Lewis emptied Lone Peak's bench midway through the fourth quarter, American Fork finished the game on a 12-0 run to help minimize the damage. Dallin Childs and Christian Wells led American Fork with 11 points apiece.
Lone Peak improved to 14-1 on the year and 3-0 in Region 4. The Knights also avenged a 58-50 loss to American Fork last year, their last loss to a Utah opponent.

Guest post from KET public affairs assistant Kara Ferguson
What's in a 'like'? Would a 'like' by any other name be a vote?
You click 'like' on Facebook for the candidate that best aligns with your beliefs and share that information to all of your digital friends who now probably deduce that's your preference versus the opposition.
You re-Tweet links and choice commentaries that particularly resonated while you are closely following the lead-up to this election. You want your voice heard.
But can social media activities foreshadow the outcome of the election?
October 15th at Miami University of Ohio, Sam Graham-Felson, chief blogger for Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, and Becki Donatelli chief Internet consultant to John McCain's two presidential races, shared their thoughts and answered questions about social media's role in the 2008 election and the future of social media in political campaigns in general.
"Social media is an outlet for people who would've otherwise never have been heard," said Graham-Felson.
People take to Facebook and Twitter to share, rant, spin facts, and argue their political opinions hoping to sway their online friends into voting for their candidate of choice.
"Social media really wasn't that much of a factor in '08 and now it is vastly important," said Donatelli.
From a USA Today article: "One in six social network users say they've changed their views about a political issue after discussing it or reading posts about it on a social networking site, according to a Pew Research Center survey fielded in January and February of this year. "
Judging solely on what is trending online and who has more 'likes,' the current Gallup Poll results would look a lot different. (The last presidential preference numbers posted at the Gallup Poll website on Oct. 29 showed a tie with 48% pro-Obama/Biden and 48% pro-Romney/Ryan.)
At last count, Barack Obama's Facebook page shows he currently has more than 31 million people who 'like' his page compared to Mitt Romney's Facebook page, which only has 10.3 million 'likes'. On Twitter, Obama leads again with more than 21 million followers compared to Romney's 1.5 million.
Obama's campaign is the leader across all social media platforms and activities according to a study by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism.
Donatelli and Graham-Felson agree that this says more about the demographic on social media sites rather than as any kind of prediction for the November 6 outcome.
"I think the Internet has helped keep Obama really, really strong," said Graham-Felson. "Now they are using new tools but the exact same principles." He adds, "The key to utilizing social media in elections is going to be how to turn a Facebook 'like' into a vote."
Donatelli suggests that it is less about the number of followers or likes and more about the quality of posts shared about the candidate.
Binders full of women Internet memes, hashtags about 'horses and bayonets' or 'Are you better off?' have made their way to our Facebook and Twitter accounts thereby demonstrating what resonates with social media users who will likely vote.
Can what we share and post really influence votes?
The November 6 outcome will no doubt be studied from multiple angles, including stats on just how much influence social media had in the 2012 election.

I'm a newbie that just went through this. I shook all my bees out about 100 yards away. Next day introduced new queen. She has been laying for about 10 days now.
Got it, Michael. I'm shaking 'em out and using the comb in other hives. Thanks, all.-Liz
Quote from: TwoHoneys on July 30, 2013, 11:28:03 AMGot it, Michael. I'm shaking 'em out and using the comb in other hives. Thanks, all.-LizHi LizI used a queen introduction frame that worked like a charm. I got it from Robo here on the bee forum. It is a frame that you place the queen in and it sits in the hive, takes the place of another frame. The bees can feed her through the frame, but cannot get to her. After about 3 weeks of this frame sitting in the hive, her pheromones take over and suppress the laying workers. Then you just let her out of the cage. It worked for me, but not sure if it always works.Annette

Poisson Solver (in transformed coordinates)
Can anyone point me to a good Poisson Solver for a 2D region with a
non-rectangular grid, or after transforming the coordinates, a nonhomogenous
elliptical solver (would contain mixed and lower order derivatives in the
PDE). Actually all I am trying to do is calculate and plot streamlines from
a velocity field but this seemed like the way I should go.

Well. She said she wanted a gobbler for her birthday ... it was a pretty typical turkey hunt, 2 botched jobs with birds at less than 10 yards and somehow slipped the gun; tons of walking; couple of snakes. Then in the early afternoon I somehow called six birds across the river. I've heard of it happening, but having grown up on Eastern's, I'd have never believed it unless I saw it myself.
Got her into position to take a bird and this big ole Tom slipped up on us from behind. She pulled it off, and threaded a 3" magnum no. 4 loaded with lead through some of the thickest, nastiest stuff I've ever seen.
And what do you know ... he's got three beards. Not bad for her first bird ... !

The British Home Office's Border and Immigration Agency(BIA) recently commissioned a report on its treatment policies. The report offers devastating evidence of widespread intolerance and discrimination against people who are detained. A female office at Colnbook, taunted detainees by saying, "Animals, lock up time,' as well as describing them as "black bastards." The team conducting the study reported many detainees said they preferred jail to being at Colnbrook. At Lindholme immigration removal center in South Yorkshire, a member of the staff described North African detainees as "donkeys," and then proceeded to make animal sounds. An analyst also found evidence of people on staff describing colleagues in derogatory terms.
The authors of the report came upon some Jamaicans playing checkers during which they shouted and slammed their fists on the table when doing something correct.
