Story highlights
- Collins makes his first appearance of season in Nets game against the Lakers
- NBA Commissioner: "I know everyone in the NBA family is excited for him and proud"
- He made the disclosure about his sexuality in a column that appeared in Sports Illustrated
- Collins played 11 minutes and didn't score as the Nets defeated the Lakers
Jason Collins became the first openly gay man to play in the NBA on Sunday night, wearing a Brooklyn Nets uniform in a game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Collins, who lives in Los Angeles, signed a 10-day contract with the Nets on Sunday. He entered the game with 10:28 left in the second quarter, receiving a round of applause from the L.A. crowd at the Staples Center.
Brooklyn won the game 108-102, and Collins played 11 minutes, not scoring any points but pulling down two rebounds and making one steal.
When Collins took the court, he became the first openly gay athlete in any of the major American team sports -- baseball, football, basketball and hockey.
But in a post-game interview, Collins talked like a jock, not a history maker.
"It felt fun," Collins said. "It felt good to get back out there on the court."
"Jason told us that his goal was to earn another contract with an NBA team. Today, I want to commend him on achieving his goal," said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. "I know everyone in the NBA family is excited for him and proud that our league fosters an inclusive and respectful environment."
Last year, the center, who was a free agent at the time, made the disclosure about his sexuality in an April column that appeared in Sports Illustrated magazine.
"I didn't set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, 'I'm different.' If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I'm raising my hand," he wrote.
Collins, 35, is a big, end-of-bench bruiser who can harangue opposing centers. Over 12 seasons, he has a career average of 3.6 points per game, and he hasn't averaged more than 2 points a games since his 2006-07 season as a Net when the team called New Jersey home.
Collins received a congratulatory tweet from Michael Sam, the all-American football player from the University of Missouri who recently came out. Sam tweeted, "Congratulations to my friend @jasoncollins34 - excited to see you do work out there #Brooklyn."
Collins said he didn't expect to create such media stir in the coming games.
"There's only so many questions you guys can ask," he said.

RE: Once a joke, always a joke.
by Mr. Dee on Tue 18th Sep 2012 23:01 UTC in reply to "Once a joke, always a joke."
For someone who doesn't use Microsoft Office, you sound quite bitter about it. Is that a hint that you wish to still use Microsoft Office? Let me throw you a bone, go to one of the launch events and get a freebie or go to the Microsoft Office Facebook page and like the page. They usually have contest there where they giveaway free copies of Microsoft Office just for answering a question or playing a fun game. I personally won a copy of Microsoft Office Professional 2010 which I still have not used yet. If I could get in touch with you, I probably would give it to you. You sound so bitter and desparate.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has hinted that he may be making a sensational summer swoop for Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, who is said to be unsettled at the Old Trafford and had also handed a transfer request.
Although Rooney will discuss out his future with new Red Devils boss David Moyes in the coming weeks, but Wenger is ready to pounce and could battle Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich for the England forward should he be put up for sale, The Sun reports.
The Frenchman, who has been handed £100 million to splurge on new players, has said that since Rooney could be an interesting player for everybody in the world, no one, including himself, would want to turn him down, if he is put up for sale.
Stating that Moyes' first challenge in United will be to bridge the gap between him and Rooney, Wenger said that the feasibility of the exercise depends on the new Old Trafford boss's personality, adding that it will be interesting to see how that situation will be handled.
Meanwhile, Wenger has also expressed his desire to bring former captain Cesc Fabregas to Arsenal, saying that the Spaniard is unsettled at Barcelona as he is lacking the confidence of being a regular player, adding that he could move on this transfer window.

A 27-year-old Savannah man was shot and killed Wednesday afternoon in front of a home in the Edgemere/Sackville neighborhood.
Achmed Kiwaan Williams was sitting on the front porch of a house in the 1100 block East 54th Street, near its intersection with Waters Avenue, about 3:15 p.m. when he was shot at least once by a gunman, said Julian Miller, Savannah-Chatham police spokesman. Williams was later pronounced dead after being transported to Memorial University Medical Center.
Officers, violent crimes detectives, a K-9 and forensics officers remained on scene much of Wednesday afternoon gathering clues about the homicide.
Crime tape remained up in the area and investigators were still on scene about three hours later as Edgemere/Sackville community leaders gathered at a church just a block away from the murder site for an already-scheduled meeting about crime in the area.
Williams was the seventh reported homicide investigated this year by Savannah-Chatham police, and the fourth in March.
Miller asked anyone with information about the case to contact CrimeStoppers at 912-234-2020 or text CRIMES (274637). Tipsters remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward.
A confidential tip line also is open directly to investigators at 912-525-3124.

Sharon Elizabeth Bistrian, a mainstay of Bistrian's Sweet Corn farm stand in East Hampton for almost 40 years, died on Tuesday following a long illness. She was 60 years old.
Ms. Bistrian was born in Southampton on Oct. 28, 1951, the daughter of Sydney Dimon Payne, who predeceased her, and the former Shirley Marie Lester, who survives.
She married Michael Neal Bistrian, who also survives, on Sept. 22, 1973, after graduating from East Hampton High School. In addition to the farm stand, across the street from the East Hampton Village Emergency Services Building on Cedar Street, Ms. Bistrian also ran a hairdressing business from her home. Most recently, she was a resident of Oakview Highway in East Hampton.
"She loved that corn stand," her sister, Allison Lupo of Amagansett, said. Ms. Lupo added that her sister was a big fan of country music, and loved spending time with her grandchildren.
In addition to her mother, husband, and Ms. Lupo, Ms. Bistrian is survived by her son, Brian Christopher Bistrian of East Hampton, and three brothers, Sidney Herbert Payne of South Carolina, Wesley Bennett Payne of Albany, and Larry Allen Payne of New York City.
She is also survived by 2 grandchildren and 19 nieces and nephews.

Supervising Peers Who Support Clients in HIV Care and Treatment: Part 2
Supervising Peers Who Support Clients in HIV Care and Treatment: Part 2
HIV-positive peers who work to retain PLWHA in care and treatment and who may have experienced life challenges similar to those of their clients have unique needs for supervision and support. Effective peer supervision calls for supervisors to develop a highly supportive supervisory style that borrows from mental health counseling, social work and supervision.
This is the second of a two-part webinar (see Part 1) discussing supportive and clinical approaches for supervising peers in the workplace. Case examples will be discussed addressing issues such as managing peer-client relationships and transference/counter-transference. Participants are encouraged to bring case examples from their own organizational settings.
The session includes speakers from three organizations with extensive experience in supervising peers.

Overall Ideas
Let's use biology in ways that make sense, aka lean on the strengths of biology to accomplish tasks better than would be done through other through.
Things biology is good at: parallel processing, self-regeneration & fast multiplication, communication
Meeting 1 April 10, 2010
Food or Energy
- Allergen free foods - custom garden toolbox; bacteria to break down lactose; lettuce allergy; cilantro; eggplant enzyme; particular plants (plants are less cmoplex to figure out)
- Foods with alternate tastes (applications in diets/controlling caloric intake)
- Is taste powerful enough to make you feel "full"?
- Material conversion (to fuel)
- Inspired by the lovely aroma in the hall just now: organisms that produce cool smells...like fresh baked cookies, or flowers... Or maybe organisms that can cover up bad smells? Would work by emitting a neutralizing chemical or by absorbing the nasty one...I guess this could go in environment actually
- GE foods toolkit (grow your own healthy food--flavor, color, not too robust b/c it can't get out into the environment, propose that each gene is coexpressed with a different pigment so you know that it is safe).
- [E. Chromi]
Bacteria that absorb toxins in air (sulfur dioxide, etc) or water (?)to be used in quality testing applications
Something to detect toxin concentrations in air - wouldn't use e. coli because they need to grow in aqueous environments (or could it work through liquid/air interface or on plates?)
- Organism that breaks down [something] (for removal of unwanted waste).
Health or Medicine
- Invasin-based tumor-seeking bacteria. (what else could invasive bacteria do?) It would be cool just to do a proof of principle in designing bacteria that exclusively invade a certain tissue type (muscle, liver, etc), dying in the absense of some signal unique to that tissue. You can imagine the usefulness for medicine - it could be a vector for hyper-specific drug delivery, or could replace a lost function in the tissue (ie, producing insulin for diabetics, etc). Even just showing that we can target a bacterium to a specific tissue exclusively (Time permitting, two or three different tissues) would be a springboard for some pretty sweet grandiose claims about future applications, a la team Cambridge last year.
- Bacteria for weight loss, blood diagnostics
- Biofilms
Different colors of bio-films depending on environmental stimulus (could create patterns)
- Light production (bioluminescence), organic lcd's wikipedia link
- DNA/nano assembly
New Application
- Robots that can smell, eat, give off signals in response to different environmenmtal stimuli
- All input/output based devices
- Connections between biological systems and electronic systems
- Pros of electronic systems:
- Cons of electronic systems:
- Pros of Biological systems:
- massive parallel computation possible
- Cons of Biological systems:
Foundation Advance
- Slime molds, or other types of multicellular fungi - not sure what we'd do with them, but they've got some very cool properties (reproduction, communication, algorithms). I remember reading something about algorithms governing where hyphae grow, and how that has been linked to traffic design...I'll see if I can find it again...
- Sound responsive/mechano-responsive organisms - bacteria that react in different ways in response to loud noises, or high frequencies (screaming yeast?)
Information Processing
- Parallel computing/bacterial computation
- electronic biosensors /smelling robots
- ccds
- code breaking
- yeast memory
Software Tool
- computer aided design
- games
- automation
Meeting 2: April 24, 2010
Ideas: Focus on food and kill-switches
4 main components: Educational;Control Device--> how to tightly control RNAi; kill switch; color/flavours/scents
Allergy Foods: peanut allergies, vegetable allergies, choclate (actually that many people aren't that allergic to the actual coco plant, but to other things present in the chocolate), nut allergies
*(Minimum)Central Goal: Showing inducible production of different products in agrobacteria
- Safety: Kill-switches, color indicator (different colors identify different genes that are expressed)
- Above and Beyond: Fully-equipped tool-kit(educational component) to grow at home
- [Next Steps]: choose what allergy(ies) to target, find the genes involved

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
America's battle with the bulge has been well documented by the media, the federal government, and organizations like The Obesity Society. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey published by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that two thirds of American adults are categorized as overweight and approximates that more than a third of the United States population is obese. It is a very expensive problem, costing the country hundreds of billions of dollar each year in "sick care" expenses. So, it comes as no surprise that the federal government is attempting to curtail the obesity epidemic and slim down U.S. citizens. On point, Congress recently tapped the Department of Health and Human Services to renew Healthy People (HP2020), a special program that helps spread health-related information and set specific health-related goals. The proposed HP2020 national health objectives include reducing the proportion of adults who are obese, curbing the usage of tobacco, increasing the average physical activity levels, etc.
Despite the statistics noted above, it seems as though at least part of the nation's population is heeding the government's advice. Every year, Running USA publishes a "National Runner Survey" and a "State of the Sport" report, which examine patterns in corporate and consumer behavior as they relate to running. According to the organizations most recent findings, the total running population increased at a double-digit percentage clip in 2008, and, despite the onset of the domestic recession, running shoe units sold and dollars spent on them exceeded the figures reported in 2007. Athletic apparel and sneaker manufacturers like Nike (NKE) and Under Armour (UA) have taken notice of these trends. The former has invested millions researching and developing new products and creating a Web site, www.nikerunning.nike.com, which is specifically geared towards runners. Nike has even teamed up with Apple (AAPL) to offer special running shoes that sync with iPods. The company was one of the few in the shoe and apparel industries that did not post a profit decline during the recent recession, due to a combination of its commitment to R&D and brand loyalty, so NKE shares currently trade near their all-time high. So, even though long-term investors probably have better options, we think the momentum-oriented may be able to profit in the near term. On the other hand, Under Armour is a small, Baltimore-based apparel and sneaker manufacturer, which is widely known for its moisture-wicking synthetic fabrications. The company has also invested heavily in researching, developing, and manufacturing products that are made for both professional athletes and everyday runners. In fact, it recently launched its first footwear line, which was well received in the marketplace. UA stock has not fared as well as NKE shares have over the past year or so, but we think the company has solid long-term prospects and Under Armour stock has excellent rebound potential.
Another investment opportunity in the anti-obesity arena is health clubs. Gyms, spas, and health clubs continue to pop up all over the United States. In fact, we estimate that the industry has been growing at a mid-single-digit clip for the past three decades. Curves International, one of the fastest-growing chains in the industry, is privately held, so interested investors may want to keep an eye out for a possible initial public offering. Town Sports International (CLUB) and Life Time Fitness (LTM) are two publicly traded options that we will take a look at. The first has concentrated its efforts in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. It has four brands: New York Sports Club, Boston Sports Club, Washington Sports Club, and Philadelphia Sports Club. The company's stock has been beaten down lately, due to a lack of profitability among other things. In fact, we think Town Sports expanded a bit too rapidly, given the level of competition. The company is also weak financially and given the razor-thin operating margins that characterize the industry, we are not sure how long it will take until it can get on more-solid footing. Conversely, Life Time shares have performed very well over the past 12 months or so, and we think they still have some room to run. The company has a stranglehold on the Midwest marketplace, and has remained solidly profitable throughout the recent economic downturn.
Americans are also slowly opting to eat healthier, so investors may want to take a closer look at Whole Foods Market (WFMI), the largest natural and organic foods grocer in the United States. The company, as well as WFMI shares, went through a rough stretch in late 2008 and early 2009, but business has rebounded markedly in the past year or so. The stock still only trades for about half what it did just four years ago, but Whole Foods is just starting to become main stream. Thus, we think there is lots of room for Whole Foods to grow, like the current sector trends, and we are generally upbeat about the stock's long-term prospects.
Weight Watchers International (WTW) stands out from the crowd for similar reasons. The anti-obesity behemoth, which specializes in helping people rein in their appetites, also posted top- and bottom-line declines during the early stages of the economic downturn, but has rebounded nicely over the past six months or so. The obesity epidemic appears to be getting worse, however, so the company should continue benefiting. The weight loss services provider is also expanding overseas, which ought to augur well over the long haul.
Good, old-fashioned diet and exercise may still not be enough to get our nation of couch potatoes in shape, so the pharmaceutical industry is working day and night to develop a blockbuster weight-loss drug. In fact, sector insiders and analysts sometimes refer to a successful diet pill as the Holy Grail. Companies like Abbott (ABT) and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) have already brought drugs to the marketplace, but both seem to have nasty side effects. Indeed, Abbott's Meridia has been linked to heart attacks and strokes, and GSK's Alli (which is also marketed by Roche as Xenical) is notorious for its gastrointestinal side effects. Many other pharmaceutical companies have drugs in the works, but it appears as though VIVUS' (VVUS) candidate has the most potential and is, therefore, the frontrunner.

Jan 27, 2010 (CIDRAP News) Fine-tuning pandemic communications strategies relating to children's issues can help avoid problems that doctors and hospitals experienced during surges of novel H1N1 flu, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said today in new guidance.
The guidance notes that better communication could help patients avoid unnecessary visits to emergency departments. It also notes other avoidable problems that healthcare providers encountered during the pandemic, such as parents flooding doctors' offices asking for their children to be tested, sending children to school sick, and intentionally exposing youngsters to those with known infections ("flu parties").
The guidance, posted today on the CDC's Web site, was developed by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education, which is part of the Department of Energy. It reflects input from pediatric stakeholders such as representatives from national associations, pediatric medical practices, and hospitals.
Aimed at community planners, the guidance is designed to help communicate with both the medical community and the general public during a flu pandemic.
The six main steps for putting together a coordinated plan include:
- Identify trusted information sources such as federal and state health agencies and professional associations
- Single out "the voice" of the community, such as the local public health department
- Pinpoint those who need the information, which will include members of the medical community and the general public
- Identify the information needed, such as how to counter antivaccine rhetoric or how to limit exposure to the virus
- Condense the information, such as developing fact sheets
- Select communication methods, such as flyers, hotlines, or social media
The pediatric stakeholders input produced several tips for mounting an efficient and effective pandemic communications response. Participants emphasized that people need to know where to get information, the information needs to come from a trusted source, the content needs to be up to date and reliable, and it needs to be accessible.

FOXBOROUGH — If it takes a little time for the Patriots' passing game to start clicking — understandable given the complexity of New England's offense and the cadre of new receivers — Ivan Fears's running backs group will be ready to carry an increased load.
Now in his 17th season with the Patriots, including 14 in his current tenure, Fears has a competitive, largely young group of backs in his charge this season: third-year players Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen, second-year man Brandon Bolden, eighth-year return specialist Leon Washington, and newcomer LeGarrette Blount. Undrafted rookie George Winn is also in the mix.
So far, Fears is liking what he's seeing.
The competition has been "fantastic. Fantastic. It really has," he said. "The guys are all looking good, they're all healthy, they're in good shape, and they know it and they're going after each other, in a good way."
Ridley is coming off one of the best statistical seasons in team history; he rushed for 1,263 yards on 290 carries (4.4 yards per attempt) and added a dozen touchdowns.
But what happened last year doesn't matter now. All the other backs can push Ridley for carries, Fears said.
"Nothing's given," the coach said. "You know this game — it's a performance game. Not last year, but what you do this year. So whoever gets out there and gets it done, that's the guy who's going to play. Nobody's got anything, they have to earn it out there, and that's the fun part about it. They know that."
Ridley had two fumbles Sunday during the Patriots' first full-pads practice, including during 11-on-11 goal line work, when he was stripped by Vince Wilfork.
He officially had four fumbles last season, two of them lost, plus the fumble he lost in the AFC Championship game, when he was knocked cold on a helmet-to-helmet hit from the Ravens' Bernard Pollard.
No matter when they happen, though, Fears does not want to see fumbles from Ridley, or anyone.
"I don't care who it is — when you put the ball down . . . that's a tough situation [against Wilfork Sunday], but hold on to the ball. You gotta do that. He's gotta do that," Fears said. "He's going to get hit in the backfield, that's going to happen in the course of the year. You can't make any excuses for anybody on that, they all know that, he knows it, and he's trying. He's trying hard, and we've just got to protect the ball."
When the Patriots allowed Danny Woodhead to leave for San Diego in free agency, it was easy to assume they were confident that Vereen was ready to step into Woodhead's third-down role. Again, though, Fears isn't handing anything to anyone.
"Whoever is going to play third down for us is going to earn it. They're going to earn it in practice and these preseason games," he said. "There's no set that, 'This guy's going to be it'. We will do what we have to to win with whoever is performing. That's what it's going to be. Somebody's going to perform to earn the job."
The 58-year-old proud grandfather of two little girls saw a change in Vereen last year.
After struggling with injuries as a rookie and early last season, the 2011 second-round pick played in the final 13 games of the regular season last year, as well as both postseason games.
"Last year he actually turned a corner, was out there, stayed out there, and then the spring and offseason, he was out there every practice," Fears said. "We never had an issue. I believe he's turned the corner; only time will tell though. But he's been practicing, he hasn't missed a day, he hasn't complained about a thing, so let's keep our fingers crossed."
Vereen ended the regular season with eight receptions for 149 yards, but he had seven in the playoffs, including five against the Texans. Two of those catches went for touchdowns, and the night served as his coming-out party.
Of the three players projected to be the top contributors at the position, Bolden is the biggest unknown. As an undrafted rookie, Bolden had a 137-yard game against Buffalo early in the season, but then a knee injury followed immediately by his four-game suspension for performance-enhancing substances caused him to miss six weeks.
By the time he was ready to return, Fears said, he liked what he was getting from Ridley and Vereen and didn't want to shake things up.
It's easy to tell, however, that Fears likes what he's seen from the 23-year-old Bolden.
"Right now he's doing well. He had a great day [Sunday], running the ball and doing some things, catching the ball and doing everything, so yeah, we're hoping he's going to get back into that picture," Fears said.
"I'm expecting him to get back into that picture. He looks like he's a very, very talented player."
His talented young charges have Fears excited for what could be — provided they put everything together.
"But we have to get open, we have to pass protect, we have to put it all together, and we have to do it as a total package consistently and on a dependable basis," he said.
"That's the guys we want to have out there. That's what we're going to find out — who can do it in the next couple of weeks."Shalise Manza Young can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @shalisemyoung.

I keed, I keed! Scotland is a gorgeous, scenic country, (OK, well, at least the Highlands were gorgeous,) and despite their penchant for trying to trick you into eating haggis, most of the people I met there were very friendly.
The highlands *are* magnificent - and so is the whisky, of course, think I brought 20-odd bottles home - but haggis is actually pretty edible. One chipshop actually offered deep fried haggis 'n chips, which was a surprising but definitely repeatable experience.
Somehow I find it humorous that vegiVamp likes haggis.
it can only be used to inflate bagpipes.
As a Scotsman I'm offended at your derogatory and cliched view of my country. The energy is used to power deep-fat fryers, whisky distilleries and cigarette vending machings. Some energy is left over for TV sets in to watch our football team being crushed by all but the tiniest nations.
I thought it was a middle eastern invention. You're possibly thinking of the modern kilt, which I believe was invented by an English businessman who wanted to make the clothes of his highland employees more convenient to wear and work in.
This is also the first power plant in the world to be painted tartan.
Well... every great plan has to have a doomsday scenario or two. This one is the worst yet.
As we know the tides are primarily caused by gravitational drag from the orbit of the moon. The moon has enough velocity that its orbit is actually widening, meaning the grip between the two bodies is getting ever so infinitesimally smaller. One generator stealing energy from this system is nothing, but once we start investing in it hardcore... the reduction in wave energy leads to extra gravitational drag on the moon, slowing its orbit... causing it to stop advancing, and be pulled in towards the earth.
By the time this is noticed, it is too early to convince politicians that something must be done now, and in fact, the push to convert more power over to wave energy.
How does it end? Well political infighting, and a new ad campaign by the deep ocean energy harvesters association begins extolling the virtues of the new larger moon, and begin funding both PR campaigns for surfing associations and contests.... and the new moon cult which has begun preaching that the moon is actually Jesus returning to earth. As part of their agreement with the energy harvesters, the cult members primary ritual consists of running Air conditioning all day long, with their windows open and bitcoin mining.
That's all well and good, but you forgot to account for solar activity, malfunctioning gravitrons, and the politicization of godless scientists.
Clean Oil - It's So Clean, You Can Drink It
Clean Oil - It's So Clean, You Can Drink It
North Sea water. You drink it - it drinks you.
This is not a tide-generator. It is a wave generator, i.e. basically wind-powered. Your scenario does not apply.
The way this works is that it has several joints and swims and thereby fits to waves. As the waves move past the device, the joints are bent in one or the other direction. This is converted to energy via a hydraulic system.
I know it's bad form to link your your self but i did the work for this last them we talkd about it.
http://hardware.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1643562&cid=32116814 [slashdot.org]
well based on what i have read - as the moon/tidal effeects work the earth is slowing down and the moon is gaining potential energy related to earths gravity well by moving farther away - assume this is a colosed energy system..
assume we pull energy out of it.. the moon will come closer to earth (or reduce it's movement away) - so the total energy supply would be the potential energy of the moon in relation to earths gravity well.
PE = m x g x h
m = 7.3477 × 10^22 kg
g = 9.8 m/s2
h = 363,104,000 m (using it's Periapsis)
PE = 2.61461968 × 10^32 Joules
474 × 10^18 = AEC = whole planet annual energy consumption
PE/AEC = 551,607,527,000 years....
so the answer is
according to this #19
http://helios.gsfc.nasa.gov/qa_sun.html [nasa.gov] [nasa.gov]
"In about 5 billion more years, the useable hydrogen (not all the hydrogen) will have been converted to helium, and the Sun will start burning helium, and become a red giant."
if i remember right.. if it goes red giant it will grow larger than 1 AU so it will engulf earth..
basically.. we could increase energy consumption by a factor of 100 and only then would we be toying with maybe crashing the moon into us before the sun burns us away.
I hope it works. It looks like it will start rusting the second its submerged.
Hopefully it is simple enough to avoid most of the common fouling and corrosion issues underwater:
1) The delicated parts are all fully sealed
2) The hydraulic cylinders can be made of high grade stainless steel.
2) Any moving parts are constantly in motion so wont get encrusted by barnacles.
However, it's a myth that stainless steel is the best thing for salt water. It is fine for above-deck use because it gets washed clean by freshwater in rain. But the interesting ingredients of seawater can cause pinholing and stress corrosion in stainless steels, though A4/316 is better than most. Bronze (tin/copper alloy) is good and is traditionally used for throughhulls and seacocks. The usual solution (pun intended) is of course not to let seawater near any working fluid circuits but to use either hydraulic oils or a mixture of propylene glycol and water (anti-freeze) - use propylene rather than ethylene because it doesn't kill fish if it leaks out.
Corrosion engineering is a really fascinating discipline with many unexpecteds and gotchas.

Also, I still want to know what happens when the wind stops blowing, the sun stops shining, or waves stop coming.
The same thing that happens when the coal is burnt up completely, we run out of oil, the natural gas burns up...we stop using that source.
Also, I still want to know what happens when the wind stops blowing,
That's when we turn on the link to Shetland, where the wind never stops blowing!

The what?
or waves stop coming.
We move to option number four, tidal, which is being trialled [scottishpo...wables.com] in the Sound of Islay. Tides are predictable - you know exactly when the energy will peak and trough, and can plan for it. In an ideal world we'd have tidal as our base generation, with the troughs supplemented by other forms of renewable energy buffered by pumped storage.
Also, I still want to know what happens when the wind stops blowing, the sun stops shining, or waves stop coming.
Waves are created by the movement of the moon around the earth pulling on them via gravity. If they ever stopped we would have bigger problems to worry about.
Wind is actually quite predictable and reliable in some places. There isn't a 1:1 ration of wind speed to power generated either, and we can store power to cover gaps or just ramp up some of our other sources.
The sun always shines, it is just that on occasion it is obscured by cloud. Some places get less of that than others, e.g. northern Africa or sou
Waves are created by the movement of the moon around the earth pulling on them via gravity. If they ever stopped we would have bigger problems to worry about.
You mean tides. Waves are generated by the wind and to a low extend by ocean currents.
When the waves stop coming, I'm sure we'll have other things to worry about than just those things not working.
There are often waves when there is no wind
So, there's also often not.

Well, yeah... Can't blame them, more than not being a US company, Acquamarine Power are going to steal some US waves [aquamarinepower.com]. Even more, the US govt is an accomplice, granting them money for a feasibility study!
You misunderstand motive; it isn't about where it was invented, it is about Big Energy not wanting competition. So slam it, put it down...discourage investment...discourage deployment. Speaking of which, I do hope my surviving relatives in Britain understand that we in the U.S. tend to bomb the crap out of anybody who doesn't cooperate with - let alone threatens - the energy monopolies.
Only if those who are refusing to co-operate aren't also nuclear powers.
>>Unfortunately I can't find the price for one of these units, probably since they're still very much in the R&D phase
Didn't you read the article? The price was listed right there: they are 25% cheaper than the previous version.
There ya go. They're totally cost-efficient.
the typical coal plant in the U.S. is about 340 MW
No it isn't. That's a small single generator of probably 1970s or earlier vintage, and you have several of them in a single power plant because you need a lot of cooling, water treatmentt, coal handling etc gear whether you have one unit or several. Many of the concrete cooling towers you see are designed to cool two seperate units for example.
If a power plant has for example four 650MW units that adds up to more than your number for nuclear, which is also wrong because there are some much bigger plants there along with the tiny research reactors and the many very small miltary run "power" plants in developing countries that bring the average down. Don't confuse "average" with typical and compare apples and orchards.
You forgot the most important points: Wave power does not need any fuel, does not pollute and needs very little maintenance. Yeah, it needs more development to get efficiency up and we need a lot of them, but on the other hand they are clean and cheap to run. We have plenty of space for them.
We you ranting instead of gogleing or wikipeding?
You are not interested in teh answrs yoiu claim to seek Otherwise you would read TFA etc.
Regardign yuor enxt post: who cares what a home is in power? It is a completely common reference unit in power generation. Nearly every "new technology" power plant is measured in terms of "homes powered".
Asuming you are from teh USA
The pictures show a big expensive jointed float.
Wind turbines are also big and expensive stiff machines.
When I as a physicist and engineer ponder on this, I get cheap light efficient constructions of film, like paragliders and balloons.
Why is this so?
Perhaps generators are expensive to subsidize industry.
Perhaps I am a genius.
Which is more likely?
Since everyone will be confused about whether Scotland is a country or not, whether it's part of England or not or something called Great Britain or the United Kingdom, here is a video that explains Britain, the United Kingdom, Scotland etc.
The video is wrong in one respect - it refers to Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland as "four co-equal and sovereign nations" when in fact none of them is sovereign - only the United Kingdom is. Scotland, Wales and NI have less sovereignty than a US state, in that the British parliament can in theory still legislate in any matter across the whole of the UK. In practice it doesn't do so (or does so only at the request [wikipedia.org] of the devolved legislatures) because it would be political suicide.
134 comments and not one references making a gun using wave motion. Slashdot, I am disappoint.
Thank you. I was about to make the same joke about Wave Motion Energy, and could it power a spaceship made from the remnants of the Yamato, but, you beat me to it.
I think back to my childhood, hearing that trumpet sound and hearing Orion say "Wave Motion Energy at 100%"
That's still my favorite tv show.... ever.

Five questions: It's gardening time
March 15, 2013
In Kansas, as well as Ireland, planting potatoes on St. Patrick's Day is a tradition. The plants don't know it's March 17, of course. But Dennis Patton, horticulture agent at the Kansas State University Research and Extension office in Olathe, said the holiday is a good time to start, or at least start thinking about, planting. And according to Patton, increasing numbers are doing just that.
Q: Why is vegetable gardening making a comeback?
A: The reasons are many, ranging from the downturn in the economy to the desire for healthier food. Fifteen years ago, vegetable gardening was nearly dead. But then this whole issue of eating fresh, eating local started, and vegetable gardening started to kick back in. We also have to give credit to Michelle Obama, who turned over a lot of turf on the White House grounds and put in a garden for food.
Q: How has vegetable gardening changed?
A: The Victory Gardens planted by our grandparents were large enough to supply fresh produce, as well as preserves, for the long winter months. Today, we see more pocket gardening, typically in 4- by 8-foot raised beds, and most of the harvest is consumed fresh from the garden.
Q: What can people start planting soon?
A: Cool season crops like potatoes, onions, radishes and spinach flourish in cool temperatures and are ideally planted in late March or early April.
Q: Is it difficult to get started?
A: Growing vegetables is no more difficult than tending a flower garden. The basics apply: good soil preparation, timely planting and minimal care.
Q: Can you recommend some resources?
A: One of the best is the Kansas Garden Guide. You can download it free at kansas4h.org/doc10212.ashx.

There doesn't appear to be any sort of democratic system in place, so what gives the Bureau it's legitimacy? Because they say so and have enough power so no one can argue?

Since Hayate told the Hucks that she would hunt them down anywhere even outside TSAB`s jurisdiction, I say that TSAB is pretty self-righteous.
Or at least, Hayate is.
Is there any form of independant media on Mid ?
The lack of journalists, paparazzis and how easily TSAB can cover almost anything has always troubled me...

Newswoman: This is Midchilda MBC News. We are at the scene of the crime at a large department store Firize by coastline. From the 27th floor, we can see smoke rising/escaping from the windows. Were still not sure of the extent of the damage but there has been an explosion in the 27th floor event hall. One male victim has been confirmed dead.
The hall had been convening an antique art exhibition and the man had been involved with the art exhibition Ah, thats an Armed Forces helicopter flying up there! It looks like that this is no accident.
A similar string of terrorist incidents has happened/occurred on Faurus and Weizen (Vaizen), whether there is a connection or not, hasnt been confirmed. We are waiting for a TSAB announcement/statement. The recent string of terrorist incidents have
Alto: Jeez, its great that TV stations/crews are so quick with their job but I sure hope that theyre following/cooperating with the information/news control/restrictions?

It seems that the media of Midchilda is rather similar to Japanese media. I believe there is a high level of collusion between major media and government/TSAB to hush up certain stuff.

Something that i've been thinking about....
Waay back when StrikerS first came out I recall there being a shitstorm of sorts over how the Bureau was employing child soldiers in the form of Erio, Caro, and some of the support staff.
However, consider Nanoha and A's. Chrono is barely 11 and is a serving officer; Nanoha and Fate are accepted as private contractors, Amy is a bridge operator... where was the shitstorm then?
...yes, I am asking this about 4 years too late, perhaps, but this only just occurred to me.

It was at least twelve episodes before Voltaire was revealed in all of his flying-Godzilla-esque glory. And by then, Caro had actually learned how to control her summons.
Back when she COULDN'T control them, she STILL had the power to summon Voltaire.
Of course, even knowing all of this, it's still not enough concrete evidence that she was actually all that dangerous. For one thing, we don't know if Voltaire CAN be controlled, or if he politely acceeds to his summoner's requests.
For another, we don't know if she could accidentally summon a dragon.
As "revealed" in one fanfic, it wasn't that Caro was dangerous in and of herself that her tribe exiled her. It was because they were adamantly opposed to being drawn back into the outside world, especially for conflict. They were tired of being used as war assets.
Someone with Caro's power would have drawn notice and brought people looking to recruit by hook or crook. Her tribe decided to sacrifice her to those wolves in order to keep their own peace.
The TSAB agents who first got a hold of her might have misunderstood the tribe's gesture. They might have thought it meant that Caro inherently could not be trusted or controlled with her power, and so none of them thought it was feasible to even TRY training her.
And if you suddenly found yourself with a child who would inevitably destroy everything around her, you would be faced with the decision to mercy-kill her or to put her somewhere where her death might count for something.
Or you could take a gamble, like Fate did.

I seem to recall a scene set between The Original Season and A's where Yuuno and Chrono are talking about how well Yuuno's mana reserved have recovered since the beginning, and how he's finally back up to full strength.
Only, I can't seem to find such a thing in the manga or Sound Stage transcripts.
What I did find was a similar conversation set AFTER A's, at the sakura-viewing party.
Can anyone find the first, pre-A's conversation, or did I wildly misremember the post-A's conversation?

After their first encounter with Fate, and after Arf shows up out of nowhere to threaten them at the out-of-town hot springs, Yuuno has started to seriously fear for Nanoha's safety.
He doesn't ask for Raising Heart back (if such a thought would even occur to him, he'd probably pass it off as the "reward" he promised her), and he doesn't claim that he's recovered at all (since he'd keep on going even if he wasn't recovered).
All he said was that he thought it would be better for Nanoha if he broke ties with her, with the implication of "before this gets more dangerous."
As for Fate, Arf and Chrono, I'll point out that none of them were injured or exhausted as badly as Yuuno was. The incompatibility might not be a problem for someone who's in better health or who has enough mana left in their Linker Core.
Whenever Fate suffered the worst damage and exhaustion in the original series, she recovered in the Garden of Time or the Arthra.
Arf is a familiar who naturally transforms, rather than using a learned spell. That and her inhuman nature might have contributed to a better recovery than Yuuno's after escaping from Precia. Also, Arf might have merely being suffering from physical injuries rather than total Linker Core exhaustion.
And yeah, Yuuno totally spent himself out, since he used the last of his energy to heal his wounds. His Linker Core emptied out and had nothing left to draw on but the energy of an unfamiliar planet.
Then again, Nanoha LOST most of her Core itself, and recovered both the Core and her energy far more quickly than a whole year. But, Earth is her home planet.
When it happened to Fate, by that time, she'd already spent time on Earth, which would allow acclimation.
Also, both of them recieved Midchildan medical treatment that Yuuno did not, in the original season.

I can see both sides of it.
Neither the series nor the movie mention anything about how mana can be different from place to place, or that people would might have issues with it. Every magic-using character is shown using their magic the same as always, no matter where they are. It's ONLY mentioned in the movie manga, and seems to be something of a ret-con to try and explain any problems Yuuno had, and perhaps diminish his role (and thus, enable the series to focus more on Nanoha and Fate).
I can also understand the logic that it might be a bit different. Everyone is different, and we all adapt to things differently. Even the very air we breathe. Human beings live at various elevations in the world, and if you were to move from a low elevation to a high elevation, you would have a bit of trouble breathing. Everyone else there is fine, because they've adapted after living there so long.
This could partially explain why Nanoha was able to beat Fate (Fate wasn't quite used to the different mana on earth yet). But no mention is made of it. So it is simultaneously a logical explanation, and a poor explanation. And I can very much imagine the reason why it is solely imposed on Yuuno.

Police have stumbled across evidence of a clandestine drug laboratory in Bendigo.
It is understood police found drug-making equipment while searching an address in Jacob Street, White Hills, for stolen property on Thursday.
One of the men being questioned over the clandestine laboratory appeared in the Bendigo Magistrates Court yesterday.
Madison Martin, 19, appeared via video link for a remand hearing on unrelated charges.
Prosecuting, Leading Senior Constable Dave Somerton said Martin had been granted bail on Thursday on charges of theft and possessing a controlled weapon.
"After he was released he was taken back into police custody after police found items at his house from a burglary at the White Hills Animal Hospital on September 6," Leading Senior Constable Somerton said.
"As a consequence of this, police also found evidence of a clandestine lab at his house." Leading Senior Constable Somerton said members of Victoria Police's Clandestine Laboratory Squad had arrived from Melbourne yesterday morning.
"They made their way to the address straight away. The area has to be secured and made safe before anything further can be done."
Martin was remanded on a charge of handling stolen goods, and his bail for the previous charges was revoked.
Leading Senior Constable Somerton said Martin was being interviewed about the clandestine laboratory. "The expected outcome is that Mr Martin will face charges in relation to what's been found."
Magistrate Bruce Cottrill adjourned the case until Monday.

I have a Dell Lap-Top (Inspiron 1721) running Sabayon 13.08 Gnome. I tried various Linux distributions before settling on Sabayon. I simply installed the system as recommended - no fiddling. Did not bother to retain the pre-existing Vista.
When I boot the system and come to the first log-in window my screen is broken into three or four triangles and the user-name and log-in space are hard to see. Prior to the log-in window the GRUB2 window and the Sabayon footprint and progrees bar appear fine.
During the boot process I get an error report which does not stay on the screen long enough to read but I believe it says (among other things) something like:
[........] memory not cleared by BIOS [...] clearing now
this line is displayed twice with a reference to CPU 0 and once with reference to CPU 1.
I have googled a bit without much luck. The manufacturers on-line assistance assumes I have explorer. So I could use some help with this at this point.
Obviously I assume that the problems reported in start-up result in the broken log in window but I may be wrong. I should mention that when I boot from DVD-image i have no problems.

INFINITY HALL LIVE continues with a concert by Grammy Award-winning artist Shelby Lynne. Since her debut in 1989, Shelby Lynne has been difficult to define with her music ranging from country, blues, Southern soul, roots rock, Western swing, jazz and adult contemporary pop. When asked to define herself, Lynne replied simply, "I try not to define anything really, myself especially. I like to let the music do the talking." This simple statement speaks volumes to her craft. Shelby Lynne is a musician at heart, bringing her soulful, down-home sound and style to countless individuals. Born in Virginia but raised in rural Alabama, Lynne struggled at the onset of her career. It wasn't until her 2000 album, I Am Shelby Lynne, that she garnered critical acclaim, propelling her into the international spotlight. Since then, she has continued to dazzle audiences across the country, asserting herself as one of country music's greats. Lynne has even made inroads onto the silver screen, appearing in several films, most notably the Johnny Cash biopic, Walk the Line. At Infinity Hall, Lynne takes the stage with accomplished Nashville guitarist John Jackson. "John Jackson is an excellent guitar-playing friend of mine, " she says, introducing Jackson, who has played with musicians like Bob Dylan and Lucinda Williams. Although the pair performs only with guitars, vocals, and a harmonica,Lynne's music fills the room and captivates the audience. Her set includes three songs from I Am Shelby Lynne, the album that earned her a Grammy in 2001 for Best New Artist. The show also includes a moving performance of "Pretend," an original song she included on her 2008 Dusty Springfield tribute album, Just A Little Lovin', and "Killin' Kind," which appeared in the film, Bridget Jones's Diary.

WILLIAMSBURG, April 14, 1775.
To the Honourable Peyton Randolph, Esq; President, Richard Henry Lee, George Washington, Patrick Henry, Richard Bland, Benjamin Harrison and Edmund Pendleton, Esquires, Delegates from this colony to the General Congress. Gentlemen, We have it in command, from the freeholders of Augusta county, by their committee, held the 22d of last February, to present you with their grateful acknowledgments of thanks for the prudent, virtuous, and noble exertions of the faculties with which Heaven has endowed you, in the cause of liberty, and of every thing that men ought to hold sacred, at the late General Congress; a conduct so nobly interesting, that it must command that tribute of applause, not only from this, but succeeding ages. May that sacred flame that has illuminated your minds, and influenced your conduct, in projecting and concurring in so many salutary determinations for the preservation of American liberty, ever continue to direct your conduct, to the latest period of your lives. May the bright example be fairly transcribed on the hearts and reduced into practice by every Virginian, by every American. May our hearts be open to receive, and our arm strong to defend, that liberty and freedom, the gift of Heaven, now banishing from its last retreat in Europe. Here let it be hospitably entertained, in every breast; there let it take deep root, and flourish in everlasting bloom; that, under its benign influence, the virtuously free may enjoy secure repose, and stand forth the scourge and terrour of tyranny and tyrants, of every order and denomination, till time shall be no more. Be pleased, Gentlemen, to accept of their grateful sense of your important services, and of their ardent prayers for the best interest of this once happy country: and vouchsafe, Gentlemen, to accept of the same from your most humble servants, THOMAS LEWIS, SAMUEL McDOWELL, Delegates.
Virginia Gazette (Purdie) April 14, 1775

The Yale men's track and field team recently elected Casey Moriarty (Seattle, WA) to serve as captain for the 2005 season. Moriarty, also a member of the Yale men's cross country team, will captain track during its indoor and outdoor seasons.
Moriarty is one of the Bulldogs' top distance runners. In 2004, he qualified for the 1500 meter run at the IC4A Championships, where he placed 28th (3:56.04). At the 2004 Penn Relays, Moriarty finished seventh in the 5000 meter run (14:22.88). In 2003, Moriarty finished 4th against Harvard in the 5000m and ran personal records of 3:53.67 in the 1500m and 14:50.24 in the 5000m. He was also an IC4A qualifier in the indoor 3000m.
A graduate of O'Dea High School, Moriarty was a Washington state runner-up in the outdoor 3200m.

Mens Maryland Terrapin basketball – what happened? I do not recall a Maryland basketball team EVER getting worse……….. as the year progressed. Teams were either just "challenged" from the get go or there was developement of the players and the team. Not this year. They got worse……….. without losing a major player due to injury or suspension. Maybe the early season high expectations contributed to the disappointment. What it was, was painful. Another year of simply turning the games off, because it was not helping my blood pressure. Plus there were better things to do, like sleep.
Four (4) months ago, I had these boys in the Sweet 16. And unless they win the ACC Tourney, they are (NIT) bound, Not In Tournament. They are just not performing at a level, that they are paid to play at. Paid? I'll leave that alone for later. Sunday versus UVA, they were up by 17 points – twice – and still lost. The Terps have lost five (5) staright games to UVA, our supposed "rival". Nice rivalry.The Terps collapse at the end of the game and OT was a fitting microcosm of the year – turnovers, sloppy play and a bad attitude. Can the Terps head to the Big Ten now? I hear the Fightin' Illini need a rivalry.
To many wanna be stars and not enough "team". Lenny is gone. Is he talent ready? Heck no. Is he money ready? Heck yeah. There goes the Terps chances next year. P'shon Howard – goodbye, just leave, evidently you hung around Stoglin to much and caught some of his attitude. Benefit of the doubt P'shon – your leg is not fully healed? Maybe, but I'm not buying it – you gave up on your team and your coach. Dez Wells – might as well try and go with Lenny. Next year is going to be tough – only the strong will survive. Terps will not be an ACC favorite during their last year in the ATLANTIC Coast Conference.
The team never found a grove for more than one game. The coach never found team chemistry. Hey Turgeon, all that talent, six (6) months plus and you still can't hook-up 5 boys out of 9, to play well together? For most of the year – Lenny and Dez Wells started, Layman and Faust seemed to be his next two probables. It didn't really matter who started. What mattered was, finding out who came to play that game? Turgeon rarely found it. Kentucky, Va Tech (first game) and of course Duke (minus that Kelley guy). Come on Turgeon, are you a recruiter or a coach?
I don't even think he knew halfway in. Yeah, Turge, you left the Terp fan base scratching our heads also. At times, it appeared Turge was "Dazed and Confused" – (Led Zep). Maybe he should have consulted with the "Turgeonites"? Besides the 3 games mentioned above – the Turgeonites were part of the few positives from this year. Positives – Seth Allen, Shaq Cleare, Charles Mitchell and Faust on occasion. Really though, they never got any better than when they first stepped on the court. Rough year, again, to follow. What the heck was with the turnovers? I've watched high school games with better ball control. To many wanna be's, not enough team.
No point gaurd, no center (when Lenny leaves), no "go to" guy, no calls from the ACC refs – Maryland basketball next year in the ACC – is gonna be tough. But hey, you know what? Who cares? They beat Duke! GO TERPS!
Side note – I believe I just heard the Ravens made another "bonehead player loss – after winning Super Bowl – move", by trading their best "go to" receiver, to next years Super Bowl winner, the San Fransisco 49ers. The year following their first Super Bowl win – they let the QB, leader of the offense go, (Trent Dilfer). Now they let one of the most talented wide receivers in the game and another team leader go, (Anquan Boldin). Both main cogs in the wheel that got them to the Promised Land. Ravens – I'm done with you. Let's Go O's!

Manchester City midfielder Jack Rodwell has returned to training after recovering from a hamstring injury.
The midfielder has made only 12 league appearances for City since joining from Everton in 2012.
He started in City's 0-0 draw against Stoke back in September but was unable to make an impression on the game.
Since starting his career, the player has been plagued by numerous injuries. Indeed, the most league appearances that he has made was in 2009/10 when he made 26. It is a sad situation for such a highly-rated player.
Rodwell, speaking to the Daily Mirror, said, "I'm fit and I am back training, I won't be match fit but I am fit for selection."
The Mirror also reports that Rodwell's latest hamstring injury is his sixth in two years.
It is also understood that the player's injury problems have been the reason for his lack of involvement with the national team.
England manager Roy Hodgson has made it clear that players need to be playing regularly for their clubs in order to be considered for national selection.
The player will be hoping, perhaps without optimism, that his latest injury will be his last.

Things You Didn't Know About St. Patrick's Day
A button for you to cut out and wear!
St. Patrick's Day celebrates the patron saint of Ireland. He is mainly known for converting the pagans of Ireland to Christianity, for popularizing the shamrock as a symbol of faith and good fortune, and for making people proud to be Irish (or at least pretend to be Irish!) on March 17 every year. And he did magic!
But there are a few things you may not know about St. Patrick.
Apparently, thanks to St Patrick, there are no snakes in Ireland. Probably the most famous legend of Saint Patrick tells of how he drove all the snakes of Ireland into the sea where they drowned. Of course, there never were any snakes in Ireland! The story is symbolic rather than literal. The snake was an important sacred symbol to the Druids, so "ridding the island of snakes" really means ridding Ireland of pagan ritual.
St. Patrick's Day marks the death date of the saint, not his birthdate. He lived a very long life, though, surviving into his 90's.
And why is this saint's day celebrated with parties and alcohol? That's because although St. Patrick's Day usually falls within Lent, the Church has traditionally lifted the Lenten restrictions on eating and drinking alcohol for this day. Party!
It's also a tradition to invite lucky kisses, similar to the mistletoe on Christmas. Go ahead and cut out this button, pin it on- and see if you can get some kisses today!
By the way, St. Patrick used a magic trick to convert the largest group of pagans on the island. The Celtic feast of Beltaine was celebrated at the start of summer by lighting hundreds of small fires, all lit directly from a main fire lit by the King himself. One year, St. Patrick lit a large fire in advance of the King, thus challenging the authority of the monarch. St. Patrick had rigged the fire using a little-known magic trick, making it impossible to put out the fire using normal methods. The King was convinced that St. Patrick had some powerful mojo, and agreed to allow him to continue his mission to convert the pagans of Ireland to Christianity.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hi everyone!
I'm a college student, living at home for the summer so all of my animals are my family's as well. I love them to death but also look forward to having my own some day.
Right now we have one 2-3year old rescue dog (Henry), two former stray cats (Malcolm & Milton), and a 10year old rabbit whose name we have never really agreed on. Mostly we just call him Bun-Bun. There is also a white, very sweet, stray male cat that seems to be trying to adopt us so we'll see if he ends up joining the family.

The Big Green Challenge
The Big Green Challenge was a £1m challenge prize designed to encourage and support community-led responses to climate change.Show more
This project explored how far an outcome based prize – which rewards results not activity – could stimulate innovation in communities while encouraging the drive and focus needed to achieve measurable change.
What happened?
Through the Big Green Challenge, we aimed to uncover what support communities needed to transform their bright ideas into viable solutions that will improve all of our lives.
In early 2008, 355 groups came forward with a wide range of imaginative and practical ideas for reducing CO2 emissions in their communities.
We selected 100 of the most promising groups, who received support from the Big Green Challenge team to develop their ideas into detailed plans.
From this group, we shortlisted ten finalists who then put their ideas into practice to compete for the £1m prize. After evaluating the success of the finalists, a panel of judges chose the winners and they were announced in February 2010.
The finalists reduced CO2 emissions in their communities by between 10–46% in the Big Green Challenge delivery year.
The winners
The Big Green Challenge showcased some extraordinary examples of people and groups working in communities to tackle climate change. The winners of the Big Green Challenge each received £300,000 to develop their community-based carbon reduction schemes further. The winners were:
Household Energy Service, Ludlow
There was also one runner-up, receiving £100,000:
Watch the video detailing the aims of the challenge and featuring the 10 finalists:
What did we learn?
Following the Big Green Challenge we produced an evaluation report detailing what we learned from running the project. You can read the full evaluation document, but below are a few key lessons we took away from the project:
- Outcome (performance) based funding should be considered as an additional option to traditional grant funding of community action. It has the potential to mobilise community resources and to accelerate change.
- Spotting and rewarding success can help communities to mobilise more resource than they might be able to do on their own.
- Providing small grants to pilot the delivery of innovative ideas is a useful model for selecting organisations with the most potential; but the administrative burdens on those taking part need to be kept in proportion to the risk that they will get no further funding.
- Communities provide a resource for real and measurable change that can complement and work alongside 'top-down' interventions and behaviour change programmes.
As well as producing an evaluation report we also created a guide on how to use social prize challenges to promote "people-powered public services".

|Very tired and lips turning white
Nov 13, 2000
I am very tired all of the time and my skin and lips keep turning white?
Response from Dr. Frascino
I'm assuming you are HIV positive (?) If so you should be checked for anemia. A decrease in your red blood cells possibly caused by HIV itself or perhaps an anti-HIV medication such as AZT could produce symptoms like the ones you describe. You'll need to have your hemoglobin tested (simple blood test). The lower limit of normal for men is 13g/dl and for women it's 12 g/dl. If you are anemic you'll need to determine the exact cause or causes to obtain the proper treatment. For instance if you are deficient in iron or certain vitamins these should be replaced with appropriate supplementation. If HIV is causing your problem you might be significantly helped by PROCRIT - a medication that stimulates the production of new red blood cells. There are of course other potential causes for fatigue and looking pale. First I would suggest you check with your doctor to see if your symptoms are related to some type of underlying problem such as low thyroid or anemia.
Good luck

Playmate of the Month July 1962 - Unne Terjesen

Model(s):Unne Terjesen
Uploaded: July 30, 1962
Description:SUPER SALESGIRL an over-the-counter brief encounter nets us our july playmate When Pamela Anne Gordon appeared as Miss March this year, Playboy staffers and readers alike were pleasantly alerted to the Playmate potential of Canadian north-of-the-border girls. For our Miss July, we once again chose a choice denizen of Vancouver, British Columbia: her name is Unne Terjesen and she was brought to our attention by sharp-eyed counter spies who spotted her working as a salesgirl in a downtown department store. Those who judge this statuesque (5'7") and honey-haired miss a perfect Nordic phototype do so with good reason, for 19-year-old Unne was born and raised in the village of Odda, Norway, where she worked as a hair stylist, won several local beauty shows and in 1960 was a comely runner-up in the Miss Norway contest. Two years ago she, her parents and three older brothers set sail for Canada and a home-away-from-home in Vancouver; once settled in this beauty-blessed city, our well-rounded traveler (39-23-39) took up her current soft-sell chores. Not surprisingly, indigo-eyed Unne is fond of wintry sports such as skiing and skating; she also has an improbable penchant for full-throttle jaunts through the Canadian countryside at the helm of her brother's Harley-Davidson motorcycle. She's an amateur painter, is swayed by Sinatra's swinging, and prefers dating personable guys with a sense of humor (nothing depresses her more than sobersided types who can't give or take a joke). Hopefully, the future holds more in store for her than stores: Says Miss July, "Right now, I have three ambitions -- to become a successful model, to own a shiny new black Mercedes-Benz convertible, and to travel, especially to see the skyline of New York."
