Well, we are always happy to be in the national spotlight! Lafayette has shown up in a BUZZFEED list of '21 Cities You're Pronouncing Wrong' – haha! Anyone in Louisiana surely knows how to pronounce it, but I'll say this – in Tennessee they pronounce it LA -FAY -ETTE. Hmmm.

Kovacevic: Disrespect the Penguins? See ya
It's rare in the sports world to trade a star in his prime such as Jordan Staal, rarer still for the general manager making that trade to hear approval.
On a super-sized, spotlighted stage in front of thousands of standing, screaming fans.
That's exactly how it played out for the Penguins' Ray Shero on this bizarre, breathtaking Friday night at an NHL Draft no one inside Consol Energy Center will soon forget.
At 8:08 p.m., commissioner Gary Bettman captivated the crowd by announcing there had been a trade "that all of you might be interested in," then broke the word: Staal to Carolina for 23-year-old two-way center Brandon Sutter, defense prospect Brian Dumoulin and the Hurricanes' No. 8 overall pick that the Penguins invested in defenseman Derrick Pouliot.
The way the building erupted, you'd think Evgeni Malkin had just buried a top-shelf blast.
And you know what?
The fans got it right.
Shero got it right.
The Penguins got it right.
The clear message: Disrespect us, and there's the door.
Shero is far too classy to confess anything of the sort, as he proved when he took the podium for that No. 8 pick and opened by saying, "I'd like to thank Jordan Staal for six great years here in Pittsburgh and a Stanley Cup."
The crowd cheered that, too. Good for them. Staal deserved it. He was a from-the-heart performer and model citizen.
Of all the images I have of the young man, none will resonate more than how he was the last one in the locker room after each of these past two first-round playoff losses. Some do that for show. He was devastated.
But understand that neither the timing nor the intent of what happened yesterday was coincidence. Not after Staal rebuked the Penguins' astounding 10-year extension offer, likely worth $60 million. Not after Staal's agent, Paul Krepelka, publicly stated Staal didn't wish to negotiate any extension. And especially not when the Penguins knew that stance had one huge exception: Staal would be all too happy to talk extension if traded to Carolina, where he could join brothers Eric and Jared.
No wonder Shero was known to have been furious. He had to have felt used. Worse, he had to have felt as if Staal willfully lowered his value to the NHL's other 28 teams to force Shero's hand with the Hurricanes.
But if that anger was lingering by the time Shero finally met with reporters around midnight, it didn't show. He spoke softly of leaving a phone message for Staal — who was getting married yesterday — and the closest he came to any kind of assessment of Staal's Carolina preference was this: "It's time for Jordan to take the next step in his development."
I'll say it again: Shero got it right.
Even after the news of Staal's rejection broke Thursday, some in these parts still naively hoped the Penguins could keep Staal for the final year of his current contract for another Cup run, after which he could become an unrestricted free agent.
Sorry, doesn't work like that.
This team's locker room didn't deserve the yearlong distraction of Staal as a rental player. And the franchise, the fans and Mario Lemieux — highly visible on the draft floor as this went down — didn't deserve being second in a key player's eyes.
Shero made the move he had to make when he had to make it. The longer he waited, the longer this situation would fester and the less value he'd find for Staal.
Did he get enough?
Impossible to say until we see more of Sutter, a third-line center like Staal who had 17 goals for the Hurricanes this past season, as well as the two youngsters. I'll settle for now that Shero called it "a good deal for us." I'll go with the guy who got James Neal and Matt Niskanen for Alex Goligoski.
Shero said Sutter "had to be part of the deal."
I liked the sound of that.
And bear in mind that more could spin off from this: Staal's $4 million for next season is off the books. More was cleared much later in the night when Shero sent Zbynek Michalek and his $4 million back to the Coyotes. They have $14.6 million in cap space now. And yet another $5 million could be freed by sparing the citizenry another winter of Paul Martin.
If so …
Well, this is getting ahead of things, but the hottest free agent on July 1 will be Zach Parise, the Devils' wonderful winger and longtime friend of Sidney Crosby. He'll cost a pretty penny, but that's a penny the Penguins didn't have before all this.
Asked if he might have more excitement today, Shero replied: "We're going to try."
Think that might bring a few more cheers?
Don't doubt this man.
And whatever you do, don't disrespect him.

Does Matthew Tierney Pull Off Scientific Poetry? The National Post Thinks So
According to National Post writer Michael Lista, a movement of scientists-turned-poets tends to sacrifice readability for clever references, sentencing their readers, no matter how eager, to hours of Wikipedia searches. But Lista points to Tierney as an example of a former physicist whose poems don't overreach themselves:
They succeed where other science-minded poems fail because despite their erudition and dizzying range of reference, they're still romancing the "breadth between feeling and knowing." "What a moron the heart is," he writes, a sentiment shared by many of the science poets whose work, for all its conceptual savvy, all too often feels bereft of feeling. But Tierney doesn't really mean it; the line appears in the poem "Suede Spats," a meandering meditation on the formation of the universe during a date at a '50s-style milkshake diner. What excites Tierney isn't the cold mechanics that brought the couple to this moment, but the pleasure it engenders, "a joy not possible / before the big bang made creation some sweet place."
…Probably Inevitable is skeptical of, among lots of other things, the very idea of time itself, but I think chronology explains why Tierney's poems work when others' fail. The key is in that old bio. Tierney wasn't flashing his chops there; he was telling us his priorities had shifted. Poetry comes first for him now.

Not much to say except that this item is great - if you use it :). I appreciate the grooves on this medicine ball since my hands are smaller than the average. Personally it provides challenge even if I outgrow the weight. I recommend this medicine ball if you're hoping to have a no-nonsense workout.

This exercise ball has a lot of bounce to it unlike the everlast balls. Because of this your exercise routine may change a little, but overall, the 18 lb ball is great.
|by Chase A. Hungerford
|Date Added: Tuesday 01 January, 2013
This ball is great, it can take a beating and not loos a pound. If you are handeling it for high reps the texture can do a number on your hands. Don't love the color but that is not what I bought it for.

I toss this ball at the handball wall at my local park. The workout is intense. Squatting and thrusting really workouts those thighs, calves, and buttocks.
|by Ron
|Date Added: Thursday 19 April, 2012
I have mostly just slam balls that do not bounce at all. I wanted to start working with ones that bounce and are of high quality. Decided to try these. Purchased the 15lb one and it is perfect! Bounces just right. Does not deform and is off high quality. I would highly recommed this bouncer to any body. Great for throwing against a concrete floor or wall. Excellent is the best word for it. Will be buying the 20 or 25lb one next.

Change Upon Change
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Five months ago the stream did flow,
The lilies bloomed within the sedge,
And we were lingering to and fro,
Where none will track thee in this snow,
Along the stream, beside the hedge.
Ah, Sweet, be free to love and go!
For if I do not hear thy foot,
The frozen river is as mute,
The flowers have dried down to the root:
And why, since these be changed since May,
Shouldst thou change less than they.
And slow, slow as the winter snow
The tears have drifted to mine eyes;
And my poor cheeks, five months ago
Set blushing at thy praises so,
Put paleness on for a disguise.
Ah, Sweet, be free to praise and go!
For if my face is turned too pale,
It was thine oath that first did fail, —
It was thy love proved false and frail, —
And why, since these be changed enow,
Should I change less than thou.

Fred Smith: Keeping America Competitive: The View from "Commerce Street" (2/11/2009)
Fred Smith, Founder and CEO, FedEx Corporation
Everyone talks about Wall Street and Main Street, but no one talks about "Commerce Street," the industrial economy in between. Smith will outline ways to build a foundation for a healthier, more sustainable U.S. business environment, one that he believes can create more good-paying jobs here in California and across the country. His solutions include energy independence, tax and accounting reform, and policies that grow business, trade and communities. Smith believes that in the challenge of this downturn is an opportunity to increase America's competitiveness in the global marketplace.
Smith is the CEO of one of the world's most successful companies. With more than 290,000 team members, FedEx serves more than 220 countries and territories around the world. Since founding FedEx in 1971, Smith has been an active proponent of regulatory reform, free trade and "open skies agreements" for aviation worldwide. He is a member of the Energy Security Leadership Council, a group of CEOs and retired military leaders who make policy recommendations on developing energy independence and alternative fuels for the United States.
This program was recorded in front of a live audience at The Commonwealth Club on February 11, 2009.

Do you look like the heroine of Sega's upcoming game Bayonetta? Probably not, but it's nothing a little genetic engineering can't fix.
Sega said Wednesday that it is partnering with Maxim.com to find a model that can play a real-life Bayonetta. I don't know why exactly it's looking for one, but the lucky lady will win a new TV, an Xbox 360 and a copy of the game, which I'm sure is a high priority for models.
At any rate, finding one should be easy once head transplants become easier to pull off, medically speaking. Observe:
I mean, what is Bayonetta? She's granny glasses and a beehive stuck on a head that's way too small for her exaggerated rubber fetish body and its impossible hourglass figure. And where have we seen all of these things before?
That's right. We just take Sarah Palin's head, shrink it a little, and put it on Joan Holloway from Mad Men's body. I'll take my TV now, Maxim.com. Don't give me any guff about how it has to be an actual person. Nobody looks like that.

Early last week, I decided to revive my helmet project by painting the dome and lower cheeks. I also painted the base color (concrete) on the back quarter, as I intend to do a layering style on that section.
DarthMiller, evan4217, BobaFit and I spent Sunday afternoon in Spidey-Fett's garage. We were able to paint a few more pieces. Many thanks to Spidey-Fett for the help with his weathering techniques!
I also worked on the range finder by tapping screw holes into the top of the stalk and securing the pieces with size 3 metric screws. I have one of TDH member Bobo's LED kits which fits entirely in the RF topper (no need for wiring down to the helmet), which I'll install later.
A few more pics of the progress...
The flash really does change the look of the colors, doesn't it?
I hope to paint the armor, left ear and upper cheeks in the next week or so, so I can start weathering.

By Piya Sinha-Roy
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - After an unsuccessful attempt to murder their "Horrible Bosses" in the 2011 hit comedy, goofball buddies Nick, Kurt and Dale reunite in a sequel deciding to go into business for themselves and eliminate the need for managers. Or so they think.
"Horrible Bosses 2," out in U.S. theaters on Wednesday, sees Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis as three hapless best friends who start a business buoyed by a large order placed by billionaire entrepreneur Bert Hanson, played by Oscar-winner Christoph Waltz.
"In this movie, it's about the 1 percent versus 99 percent," Sudeikis said in an interview.
When Bert manipulates the guys to bankrupt their new business, Nick, Kurt and Dale decide to kidnap Bert's charming-yet-crazy son Rex, played by Chris Pine. Naturally, things go awry quickly for the trio.
Cue an elaborate ransom plan, car chases with Jamie Foxx and raunchy scenes with a sex-addicted dentist, played by Jennifer Aniston, as the guys attempt to get their lives back and indulge their darkest desires.
Aniston, who swaps her usual girl-next-door characters to strip down and play the saucy Dr. Julia Harris once again in her first-ever sequel, said she enjoyed reprising the role of the unapologetic, overconfident dentist.
"I think it's a known fact that sequels can be tricky, they can go pretty downhill, and we really didn't want that to happen because we love this so much," Aniston said.
"I love this is ... being as outrageous as possible," she said, adding that the film plays into the raunchy "hard R-rated" comedies that are proving successful with current audiences. Continued...

This is a really sad story. I agree that the wife, the boyfriend and the lookout should equally face the maximum penalty for murder.
As a side note, I live in Detroit and am used to hearing the horror stories on the news everyday. We're so used to hearing how bad we are that one tends to think nothing happens as bad anywhere else. There are some really bad people in this world and they are everywhere. This story is just one more example of proof of that.

A teenager who shattered a 79-year-old's skull during a racist attack has had his sentence REDUCED following an appeal.
Fraser Danny Giles, 18, punched and kicked the elderly man - who was wearing traditional Muslim dress - after asking the pensioner he was a 'white Muslim'.
Giles knocked him to the ground and kicked him to the head as he lay prone.
He was left in hospital for 12 days with 'life-threatening injuries'.
The grandfather suffered a skull fracture and bruising to his brain, which affected his ability to think properly and his speech; the injuries, according to his family, left him a 'devastated man'.
Giles, from Uxbridge, London, was handed eight years' detention in a young offenders' institution after he admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm.
But, as reported by Get West London, three senior judges at London's Appeal Court have now upheld a sentence challenge by Giles and reduced his custodial term by a quarter to six years after ruling his original punishment excessive.
Mr Justice Andrew Smith said Giles, then a 17-year-old hair salon trainee, had been drinking heavily before he approached the elderly victim, who was on his way to a mosque in Uxbridge for worship on July 5 last year.
However, Mr Justice Smith said the attack was out of character for Giles, something confirmed by positive reports relating to his time in custody since.
The judge said that, while the offence was committed against a vulnerable victim, and appeared to be religiously or racially motivated, it was not premeditated, and Giles had since shown genuine remorse.
Giles' counsel argued that his sentence was manifestly excessive, given his mitigation, particularly his young age.
Mr Justice Smith, sitting with Lord Justice Jackson and Sir Colin Mackay, said: "Dreadful though the offence was, and mindful as we are of the impact on the victim, we conclude that Giles' sentence should be reduced.
"We consider that, taking into account his age, early plea and his otherwise good character, a sentence of six years constitutes an appropriate sentence for this offence and we reduce the sentence accordingly."

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
It recently inked a two-year deal with Ocean Front Records — a former subsidiary of influential soul label Motown Records — and now, the all-girl group the New stands to be one of South Florida's breakout stars. This half Broward/half Miami-Dade band's potential success owes a lot to lead vocalist and guitarist Lori Garrote. Many would say she is the principal reason the New might just be the newest thing on everybody's lips in 2011. Garrote has a delivery that is deliciously inviting, a subtle snarl that verifies, "Yeah, I'm punk rock gal" while somehow still conveying a confectionery-schoolgirl bubblegum-pop sensibility. Garrote is the perfect union of Bikini Kill and Michelle Branch — if ever such an inexplicable union of disparate worlds could exist. Over the group's chunky Breeders-esque riffs, Garrote's voice is an irresistible force. To add fuel to the fire, Garrote possesses an alluring pout that harks back to the Bangles' sexpot, Susanna Hoffs, and the composure of someone twice her age. She is, in essence, an A&R rep's dream.
The term Renaissance man was invented to describe guys who have so much more going on than the rest of us. Guys so engaged with the world around them that you wonder how they do it all with just 24 hours a day. Guys like Timothy Leistner. Sometimes it seems the Toledo-born Leistner has a finger in every pie. He has a wall full of degrees, including a bachelor's from Ohio University and a master's and a doctorate from Nova Southeastern University, all put to use in his current job teaching at United Cerebral Palsy. He has also taught art privately and currently teaches evenings at the university level, and he recently collaborated with another artist on a series of storytelling workshops for children. When he's not teaching, he's participating in exhibitions from Fort Lauderdale to Fort Pierce, racking up awards in the process. Even when his own work — oil and acrylic paintings, watercolors, mixed-media sculptures, and photography — isn't included in a given show (which is rare), he shows up at openings in support of his fellow artists, many of whom he mentors. Did we mention that he has his own little commercial gallery in Dania Beach, the better to showcase artists he believes in? Hey, ease up, Tim; you're making the rest of us look like slackers.
The Caldwell's Clybourne Park cast was an embarrassment of riches, chockablock with so much A-list local talent that it almost didn't know what to do with all of it. The play looked at the shifting tides of racism in two acts separated by a generation of time, a conceit that gave the seven-piece cast 14 characters to portray. The ensemble included Gregg Weiner, imposing as ever as a bespectacled, overtly racist stuffed suit turned frustrated Everyman; Cliff Burgess as a boisterous reverend turned gay realtor; Margery Lowe as a deaf-mute housewife turned politically correct liberal mouthpiece; Karen Stephens as an obedient housemaid turned homeowner in "postracial" America; and Kenneth Kay as an American Dream-embodying 1950s nuclear dad turned modern-day construction worker. In a play about hidden bigotry and racial discord, the cast was nothing less than unified, harmonious in their characters' un-P.C. squabbles.
Who is Elvire Emanuelle? The young Virginia Commonwealth University grad who studied acting with Richard Zavaglia stunned audiences at the Women's Theatre Project, more than holding her own against South Florida acting heavyweights such as Lela Elam and Karen Stephens. Set against the ruthless backdrop of Liberian civil war, Emanuelle portrayed a 15-year-old captive — the initially helpless fourth "wife" of a rebel officer — who develops the capacity to kill, over the play's grim and exhausting duration. Her character is the crux of the play's unsettling commentary on the human capacity for violence, and her transformation brings the playwright's frightening ideas to vivid fruition.
The Mosaic Theatre turned 10 this past season, and what a birthday celebration it's been. In early 2010, the theater suffered a rare misfire in the form of the musical Make Me a Song: The Music of William Finn. Since then, it has been one winner after another, like Dying City, the South African diamond-diving drama Groundswell, the energetic and absurdist hilarity of Completely Hollywood, the witty and moving award contender Collected Stories, and the uproarious ensemble piece The Irish Curse. The latter broke attendance records for the theater and prompted the playwright, Martin Casella, to book a flight down here to see it. With Dusk Rings a Bell, the latest from The Laramie Project's Stephen Belber, and Sam Shepard's newest work Ages of the Moon this summer, Broward County's most provocative theater shows no signs of resting.
When Christopher Shinn's Dying City — a difficult and sobering triangle among the widow of an Iraq War veteran, the dead soldier himself, and the soldier's identical twin brother — debuted at Mosaic Theatre last spring, audiences and critics were divided over the source material. It wasn't exactly a fun, joyous night at the theater, and some found the material heavy-handed. But there was something of a consensus when it came to the production itself, which artistic director Richard Jay Simon handled with tenderness, sensitivity, and palm-sweating intensity. Erin Joy Schmidt and Ricky Waugh both spelunked their characters to previously unseen dramatic depths, and Mosaic's technical team created authentic ambiance all around the elegant set.

COPENHAGEN -- By the end of the century, sea levels may rise twice as much as was predicted two years ago in the fourth assessment report by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
More News From ClimateWire
- Bangladesh endures ugly experiments in 'nature's laboratory'
- House panels seek to limit effect of climate plan on nation's pocketbook
- Recession may help on the climate front -- for a while
- Democrats gamble with one-bill energy and climate strategy
- Senate leader says energy, climate bills will be combined
This means that the lives of some 600 million people living on low-lying islands, as well as those living in Southeast Asia's populous delta areas, will be put at serious risk if climate change is not quickly and radically mitigated.
These conclusions, presented yesterday by a group of scientists hailing from several countries, dominated day one of the International Scientific Congress on Climate Change, organized by the University of Copenhagen and other members of the International Alliance of Research Universities. An estimated 2,000 people are attending the event.
"The seas are undergoing much greater changes than those described in the IPCC report," explained Eric Rignot, one of the study's authors, in a discussion with reporters. Rignot is professor of earth system science at the University of California, Irvine. "This is the crux of the problem. Two or three years ago, those making this type of statement were seen as extremists," he added.
According to the new research, the upper range in the rise of sea levels could be approximately 1 meter (3.28 feet), "possibly more," by 2100. At the lower end of the spectrum, it appears increasingly unlikely, say the study's authors, that sea level rise will be much less than a half-meter by 2100. They conclude that low-lying coastal areas, which house one in 10 humans, will be hit hard -- even in a best-case scenario -- if emissions of greenhouse gases are not reduced quickly and substantially.
'There's no good news here'
The most recent satellite and ground-based observations show that sea levels have been continuing to rise since 1993, at a rate well above average for the 20th century, explained another of the researchers, John Church of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research. "The oceans are continuing to warm and expand; the melting of mountain glaciers has increased, and the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica are also contributing to rising sea levels."
Several years ago, says Rignot, the science community believed that the Antarctic did not affect sea levels substantially; today, "we have results demonstrating that what is happening down there is as significant as is Greenland's ongoing ice loss."
The previous IPCC assessment report, published in 2007, projected a sea level rise of "only" 18 to 59 centimeters by 2100. Copenhagen's speakers stated today that the 2007 numerical models did not fully represent either outlet glaciers or their interactions with the ocean.
"Even the IPCC said that they didn't take some factors into consideration because they lacked the data," Katherine Richardson, vice dean of the University of Copenhagen's faculty of science, noted in an interview.
"Now we have the data, and it seems very clear that sea level rise by 2100 will be greater than the IPCC's prediction, and also that the rate of increase after 2100 will be faster than it will be before 2100. We are at the very least in the worst-case scenario of the IPCC. There's no good news there."
Richardson added that climate researchers now have enough data to understand what is happening to sea temperatures and are able to say that these are rising 50 percent more rapidly than they had thought at the time of the IPCC report. "The climate system is changing," she said. "That's crucial, because it means that ice will melt more quickly, and that means a lot of things as to how much carbon the ocean can take up."
Previous computer models missed ice slipping into the ocean
According to Rignot, the scientific community is now more fully aware that ice sliding into the ocean -- as opposed to ice melting -- plays a preponderant role in ice-cap evolution. "Ice is slipping into the ocean at a rapid rate, a phenomenon that was not correctly incorporated into previous models," said Ringot.
"In Greenland, we estimate that two-thirds of the cause of the glaciers' disappearance is accelerated ice slide, while the remaining third of the cause is ice melting. In the Antarctic, the cause is 100 percent ice slide, and the speed-up there is exponential."

July 2013 "Faces of the Green Pages": Solar Service, Inc.; Niles, IL
As a regular featured speaker at our Chicago Green Festivals, Solar Service, Inc. owner Brandon Leavitt enjoys seeing his customers from 36 years of Chicagoland solar installations drop by to say hello.
"We've counted more than a dozen of our customers at the shows, some of them clients from 30 years ago whose solar systems are still going strong," says Brandon. We asked him to tell us more about his first solar installation and about his inspiration to start his solar company…
Green America: What does your business do and what are your most popular products?
Brandon Leavitt: Solar Service designs and installs both solar PV and solar heat and hot water systems for new and existing residential, commercial, municipal and multi-family buildings in the Chicago area. Today, our most popular products are multi-family solar hot water systems and residential and commercial grid connected PV.
What makes Solar Service green?
Brandon: Obviously, by selling and promoting the use of renewable energy systems we are a green business at our core. Also, Our solar thermal panels are made in Florida and Minnesota. The solar storage tanks are manufactured in the USA. The vast majority of our PV panels are produced and/or assembled in the USA. We have never purchased PV panels made in China.
We are a 'family friendly' company where our employees' needs for flexible work time are respected. We have always recycled our in-office plastics, glass, metals, batteries and paper. We pay our refuse hauler extra for a bin to recycle cardboard. Every year our holiday party is financed by the proceeds from the sale of leftover scrap copper, steel and aluminum from our installs. Our crew plants a vegetable garden each spring outside our warehouse. All our drinking water is purified on tap. Our sales director drives a company-owned Prius. And of course, all three of our company buildings are solar powered…both PV and thermal!
This Solar Service installation for HarvesTime Foods in Chicago incorporates PV panels as a part of the store's awning.
What inspired you to start a green business?
Brandon: In 1970, while still in high school, I attended the very first Earth Day event in Chicago. I was so inspired, I helped start the first drop-off community recycling center at my suburban high school.
Though accepted to college, I next chose instead to work in the entertainment industry, playing drums for a while, and then managing a very successful rock band for the next few years. When the first energy crisis of the '70s hit, I started to think about alternative energy. In July of 1975, I attended Buckminster Fuller's World Game seminar where he assigned our class to solve the world's energy crisis, giving us 25 years to phase out the old and bring in the new, with only one rule: our solution could not become someone else's problem. That led me to a job with a solar design firm in Florida that eventually led to marketing, sales, and engineering opportunities with solar hot water systems.
In April of 1977, I decided to bring solar home to Chicago, opening a business called Solar Energy Products where we concentrated on research and development of cost-effective and reliable solar heat and hot water systems for northern climates. And on the July 4th weekend of 1977, I flew a crew up from Florida to install the first solar hot water system in Illinois on my parents' home. That system is still working great today!
What has been your proudest moment as a green business owner?
Brandon: Back in the mid 1980s before the collapse of the solar industry, I realized I had a company with 21 employees and we had installed over $3 million worth of solar hot water and heating systems in Chicago! Today, when I attend a dedication ceremony of one of our milestone installations and the Illinois governor speaks about our work, I am very proud of our hard-working, dedicated employees. I do know how fortunate I've been to make a career out of something I love that also helps give people meaningful employment and makes the planet a better place to live.
On the left: Solar photovoltaics. On the right: Solar thermal panels for hot water.
What advice would you give to other green entrepreneurs just starting out?
Brandon: Stay as small as you can as long as you can. Put the customer first. Treat them as you would want a contractor to treat your parents (we call that the "Golden Rule Plus One"). Stand behind everything you do. Don't take work that doesn't make sense for you or your client. Train your employees well and let them do their job. Reward and compliment good work. Expect mistakes and learn from them. Stay calm.
We've always had extremely high standards, and years ago my office manager asked me if we could "strive for excellence instead of perfection." That turned out to be great advice and helps explain why our business has lasted over 36 years.
What's the most hopeful sign you've seen recently from the green economy?
Brandon: The shift to a renewable energy world is inevitable. About nine years ago, I saw the marketplace shift from the usual environmentally conscious types we'd see at energy fairs to the more mainstream public. We no longer had to concentrate on the 'why' of solar and just went to delivering its benefits as just another commodity people were in the market for.
Today's market is certainly more interested in PV. With product improvements, net metering and price drops along with a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, PV represents a growing percentage of our business. Even though solar hot water is more practical and cost-effective, we have to listen to the market and adapt if we want to survive. Change is constant.
Solar Service designed and installed this 100kW PV system on a custom-built 50-ton steel frame (erected in one day) atop the Avenue Garage in Oak Park, IL.
What's the next green step you're working on right now?
Brandon: We're continuing to create awareness, understanding, and appreciation for renewable energy. I'm excited about the vast potential for solar and the fact that we've only scratched the surface.
President Obama did more for solar in his first term than all the previous presidents combined. His State of the Union speech this year and his climate-action speech at Georgetown University where he spoke of doubling solar on federal lands is very encouraging.
What green product (besides your own!) can you not live without?
Brandon: At a Green Festival three years ago, I bought a display model of one of the first Soda Stream units. I no longer have to haul cases of soda water home for my wife. No more cans to recycle!

What Microsoft's acquisition of Yammer means to SHI
Upon first reading the rumors that Microsoft would soon acquire Yammer — and that this acquisition was based on Yammer technology to improve the social aspect of SharePoint — I reacted in roughly the same way that Tommy Lee Jones did when Harrison Ford proclaimed, "I DIDN'T KILL MY WIFE!" in the movie "The Fugitive."
I didn't care.
It's not that these revelations weren't significant. They were. Acquiring the cloud-based enterprise social network could improve the social collaboration capabilities of the next version of SharePoint (possibly in Q1 of 2013), if Microsoft chooses to do so. (As for the other? Well, Ford jumped off a 225-foot dam into an active spillway without a scratch.)
SharePoint has been the backbone of SHI's company intranet since 2006. Over these past six years, I learned that an effective, enterprise-wide rollout of SharePoint is as much about the business and cultural decisions made as it is the technology itself.

Job satisfaction in haemodialysis nurses : results from a two country study
Hayes, Bronwyn, Bonner, Ann, & Douglas, Clint (2012) Job satisfaction in haemodialysis nurses : results from a two country study. In 41st European Dialysis and Transplant Nurses Association/European Renal Care Association, 15-18 September 2012, Strasbourg, France. (Unpublished)
(PDF 539kB)
• Australian nurses report lower levels of job satisfaction than the broader working population and perceive they have limited influence over important workplace decisions. • Higher levels of nurse job satisfaction is positively linked to improved quality of care, patient outcomes and staff retention. • Identifying factors that contribute to job satisfaction can improve retention of highly skilled and specialised haemodialysis nurses. • Contributors to job satisfaction and current levels of job satisfaction are poorly understood in the Australia and New Zealand context.

Recap | Final Stats | Photo Gallery 1 | Photo Gallery 2
No. 4 Connecticut vs. Pittsburgh
February 21, 2012, Petersen Events Center, Pittsburgh, Pa.
No. 4 Connecticut 86, Pitt 37
Quoting Pitt Head Coach Agnus Berenato:
Opening Statement:
"I want to introduce my guest coach Lyn Love, and thank her for coming. I would like to congratulate Connecticut. Obliviously there is a reason they are in the top three in the country. I look to see them in the Final Four. There is never a good time to play Connecticut and probably the worst time you could play them would be after an upset (loss). We took our best shot tonight and I think they have a really nice team. I think Geno Auriemma is a class coach. He was very gracious to us. The second half was better than the first half, we were shell-shocked in the first half. In the second half, I told the team to not even look at the score. We are going to play four-minute quarters and I'll let you know the score. The final was 38-27 in the second half and that is better than 48-10 (in the first half). I thought Brianna Kiesel played great. I think she took on a leadership role in controlling the team. She encouraged the team and settled them down when they needed it. This is Brianna's team. I told her at halftime, you need to take control of this team."
On Connecticut head coach using the second half to work on fundamentals instead of running up the score:
"I knew when I went through the line, and when I hugged him I told him I owed him a thank-you note. They played hard. Geno Auriemma does right by the student-athlete and always tells you to remember where you came from. His players are always going to play hard because they are the best. If they did not play hard you would see him flip. I learned that about him my first two years. You have to expect your players to play hard but you also have to work on certain situations even if you are up in a game. Geno is the ultimate educator."
Quoting Brianna Kiesel
On what she learned about the Pitt team:
"UConn is a very good team and when they came in there, they jumped on us quickly. We didn't' handle the press as well as I thought we would have, but we still did alright. We really came out in the second half with a spark."
On preparing to play Connecticut:
"We approached the game as just a regular game. I mean, UConn doesn't have 'superman' written on their chest. It's just another team. We played them like another team. We still played hard in the second half."
On your season and making this your team:
"It's still playing out and I'm still learning. We are taking it game by game. We still have another season to go, the Big East Tournament. I think we are going to go into that with a different mentality."
Quoting Connecticut Head Coach Geno Auriemma
On whether Connecticut played well or Pitt struggled:
"It's hard to tell. We could have been like Notre Dame and come out here and run the score up. We could have tried to score 120 and have shot threes the whole game. That's not the point. The point is to work on your game and make sure that you've got girls that are getting better and playing better. That's always what you try to see in a game. It's what we ask ourselves all the time as coaches. Did that work because we executed well or did they not have the talent to stop it? Either way it's fine as long as you get your stuff done and execute. You're trying to think ahead and play for another game down the road where you will need something like that. Once we thought we had the game in hand it was an opportunity to work on our game and we did a good job of that."
On why other programs don't have success like Connecticut's:
"To do what we have done is obviously very difficult. When you look at the top fifteen teams in the country, the rest of the teams in America have the same players. Very little differentiates those who play for the twenty-fifth best team and the fifteenth best team. There might be one player that's different. Trying to identify who those players are that get you to number twenty-five and get you to fifty is the hardest thing because they all act the same. Keeping your staff together is also difficult. When people leave you have to break in a whole new group. It is being done at other places and it was done here. That means it can be done again. Getting the right people in place, getting lucky with a couple players, it can be as easy as that or as difficult as it is right now due to having young players."
Quoting Connecticut's Kelly Faris
On the outcome of tonight's game:
"I'm happy with the way we responded but at the same time we are not where we want to be. We made progress but we are not where coach wants us to be. We still have a way to go."
Quoting Connecticut's Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis
On Connecticut's shooting:
"We don't want to be one of those teams that have to keep relying on our outside shooting to win games. We have to get the ball inside. If we aren't making shots as shooters we have to make sure that we forget about the last shot and keep shooting. If we keep missing we will have to find other ways to score."

CANADA STOCKS-TSX opens up after solid US GDP data
TORONTO Oct 26 (Reuters) - Canadian stocks edged higher after a bumpy start on Friday as positive sentiment over better-than-expected U.S. gross domestic product data was somewhat offset by uninspiring corporate earnings reports.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index opened up 1.15 points at 12,301.38 before briefly turning negative, then strengthening to be up more than 40 points.

Overall is a good place to stay, But staff really rude and they don´´t speak English. When you get the directions to check in, it says you can either do the check in any of the 2 buildings, but that is not true. After 15 minutes waiting to someone to open me the door downstairs, I got into one of the buildings and the person who was in that recepction didn´t speak a word of english, She call someone over the phone and they told me that I have to go to the other building to check in.

Mounting Plasma TV on Brick Veneer
I've installed a 58" Panasonic plasma tv (~130 lbs) on a brick veneer wall. The veneer isn't the thin type of brick veneer, but whole bricks.
I used a low profile Peerless mounting bracket (Model ST660), which is rated for 200 lbs, and five 5/16" X 1 3/4" masonry anchors (the plastic sleeve type). They're rated at 300lbs vertical and 150lb pull (sheer?).
Does this sound safe to you? My wife is giving me mondo-grief :furious: about the install, swearing the mondo-expensive tv will come crashing down.
I appreciate any feedback you all can provide.
I would personally try to grab into the studs with a very long screw. Use the studs as support not the brick. I don't think its a good ideal to have just the brick support that 130 pounds. It might loosen that brick over time. Drill into brick until you hit the studs. But i wouldn't drill into the studs. Then screw in with drill that has screw driver attachment.
I would definitely want to hit a minimum of 2 studs while mounting the bracket. I would not feel comfortable letting the veneer take the brunt of the weight in supporting the weight of the plasma.
It is definitely worth the extra time and effort locating the 2 studs so you can sink the 4 lag screws into them.
best of luck
As already mentioned:
1.) Brick veneer will not hold any weight.
2.) Wood studs in the wall will hold weight. Read Next Point >
3.) Unless you hit those studs 'dead center' with lag screws, you are going to have problems. example: You could hit them on the edge and think that you are allset, until the weight of the TV and bracket eventually causes it to splinter and crash. Measure carefully and use a stud finder, then re-measure and double check everything.
4.) Make sure that you do use "lag screws" and not just 'screws'. (....Would think that the TV bracket already comes with some good lag screws)
5.) I would suggest that you 'pre-drill' for those lags after very carefully confirming that you are 'dead center' over your studs. When re-installing the lags, you could also add some adhesive onto the lags. (Just be aware that those lags would be in there permanent - after this)
6.) Do not use 'too large' of a diameter for the lags or they will damage the stud where you are attaching to and separate the wood's fibers ....
I've only heard of one instance where a TV fell off a wall mounted bracket... tho, I can't recall the actual cause....
...so good luck, and enjoy the big game...
