The national power grid comprises more than 9,200 electricity-generating units with more than 1 million megawatts of generating capacity connected by more than 300,000 miles of transmission lines, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Since 1982, the increase in peak demand for electricity has exceeded transmission growth by almost 25% a year. In fact, of the five major blackouts in the last 40 yr, three occurred within the last decade. As a result, each day, approximately 500,000 Americans spend at least 2 hr without electricity, and power outages are estimated to cost the U.S. economy more than $150 billion a year. In addition, there are claims that the infrastructure is vulnerable to major weather events and terrorist attacks.
To address these concerns, the DOE Modern Grid Strategy (previously the Modern Grid Initiative) was launched at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in January 2005. The mission assigned to the team was to "accelerate grid modernization in the United States." Recently, the program has been renamed the Smart Grid Implementation Strategy (SGIS). Its focus is to "accelerate the transition to a smart grid in the United States through the development of implementation strategies and tools." As such, the team has turned its attention to providing tools, materials, and expertise to assist with advancing smart grid implementation.
According to the DOE, this implementation involves adding new sources of electrical generation, including renewable energy sources; improving power quality; supporting a wholesale market with a variety of price options; expanding data acquisition and data sharing across business units to improve load factors, lower system losses, prevent energy theft, and dramatically reduce outage durations; improving asset management and reducing maintenance and capital costs; incorporating cyber security standards to make the system resilient to attack and provide for rapid restoration capabilities; and providing consumers with the ability to become informed, involved, and active consumers through access to in-home displays, web portals, demand response (DR), and distributed energy resource options (More Than Meters).
Millions of meters
In 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) allotted $3.4 billion for 100 projects under the DOE Smart Grid Investment Grant (SGIG) program. The funds will be matched by $4.7 billion in private investments. Ranging from $400,000 to $200 million, the grants will reach every state except Alaska. See the list of project selectees
The majority of the funds will accommodate upgrades to electric utility power systems, including the installation of more than 200,000 smart transformers, which will allow power companies to replace older units before they fail. Electric utilities will also install more than 850 sensors across the electric grid within in the contiguous United States, making it possible for grid operators to better monitor grid conditions and allow them to better integrate intermittent renewable energy power sources, such as wind and solar power. In addition, electric utilities will install nearly 700 automated substations, which will make it possible for power companies to respond faster and more effectively to service outages when inclement weather brings down power lines or causes electricity disruptions.
The grants will also support the installation of smart grid components for consumers, including more than one million in-home energy displays, 170,000 smart thermostats, and 175,000 other load control devices to enable consumers to reduce their energy use. The funding will help expand the market for smart washing machines, clothes dryers, and dishwashers, so that U.S. residents can further monitor and control their energy use and lower their electricity bills (Smart Appliance Standards). Such smart grid technologies can also better accommodate the use of plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) and the production of renewable energy from customer-owned systems, such as solar arrays. Finally, the smart grid grants will pay for installing more than 2.5 million smart meters, which allow electric utility customers to access pricing information and avoid using excess electricity during peak usage times when it is most expensive.
Glendale Water & Power (GWP), Glendale, Calif., was the first utility in the nation to receive funding under ARRA, signing a contract for a $20 million federal SGIG to help implement its $51-million grid initiative. Currently, the city is undergoing a demonstration of smart meters, which included the installation of a meter data management system, 1,000 electric meters, 500 water meters, and 300 in-home displays. The city plans to have all meters replaced by September 2011.
In addition to replacing all electric and water meters with new smart meters, receipt of the $20 million in DOE grant funds will allow GWP to expand the project scope and accelerate implementation to include distribution automation, new enterprise data storage systems, residential and small business smart grid devices, thermal energy storage, DR, and expanded Wi-Fi backhaul. The city expects the plan to take up to 10 yr to fully implement.
The bigger they are. The implementation of a national smart grid will require the efforts of all key stakeholders, including regulators, utilities, investors, and consumers. Unfortunately, such a large, coordinated effort comes with barriers to adoption of new technologies and upgrades. In a recent survey of 20 industry leaders of electric utilities, half the respondents reported rate cost as the strongest barrier to smart grid projects within their organization. Technology immaturity was also named as a key barrier but was rated a "top barrier" for fewer respondents.
In addition, the need for open standards, regulatory matters, and consumer privacy issues have been cited as major challenges to overcome. However, the biggest obstacles may be awareness and perception. In a recent report commissioned by GE Energy, more than three-fourths of consumers in the United States are not familiar with the term "smart grid." Fewer than 10% of those surveyed reported they have heard of the smart grid and have a good understanding of what it is.
Among those who report an understanding of the smart grid, almost all believe that such a grid would offer real benefits. They understand real-time reporting across the national electrical network would mean fewer power outages and quicker power restoration when outages occur. Many realize that peak-use-based pricing can save them money by allowing them to choose when and at what price to use electricity.
In an effort to break through some of these barriers, the DOE, under the Smart Grid Regional Demonstration Grant (SGRDG) program, awarded $620 million among 32 awardees in November 2009. (For a list of grant awards, visit http://www.oe.energy.gov/recovery/1255.htm.) These smart grid demonstrations are taking place at a number of U.S. locations and include a variety of electric utility distribution system designs, climate zones, and technologies. Individual demonstrations are expected to be focused on the integration of specific feeder types that serve residential neighborhoods, a mix of residential and commercial customers, or mostly commercial customers. Among other things, this demonstration project is expected to help enable electric utilities to use existing and new utility-owned communication investments; public communication infrastructure investments; available and emerging smart home and building technologies, such as programmable thermostats and energy display devices; and collaborate with other utilities, standards bodies, and industry organizations.
However, there are already several examples of small-scale smart grids at work. American Electric Power (AEP) has worked for several years to connect microgrids to the larger grid as part of DOE's Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology Solutions (CERTS), which Pike Research, the Boulder, Colo.-based market research and consulting firm that provides in-depth analysis of global clean technology markets, says is one of the first to connect microgrids to the primary national grid.
Microgrids, sometimes called islands, are modern, small-scale versions of the centralized electricity system. They are set up to achieve specific local goals, such as reliability, carbon-emission reduction, diversification of energy sources, and cost reduction, established by the community being served. Like the bulk power grid, smart microgrids generate, distribute, and regulate the flow of electricity to consumers, but do so locally. Microgrids have been used for some time as safeguards against power outages and other disruptions in circumstances where reliable, continuous electricity is critical, such as hospitals and data centers.
The military also has adopted the technology at some locations, and the U.S. industrial sector, which uses about 25% of the country's total electricity output, is seeing advantages from microgrids. Although some microgrids are connected to the larger electrical grid system, in some cases, they are designed for a community's independence from its local electric utility. Marin Clean Energy, in Marin County, Calif., is an example of a community choice aggregation (CCA) public power entity that is allowed under California law to buy and sell electricity from wholesale power markets on behalf of residents instead of from the local electric utility — in this case, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E). The county also hosts a microgrid demonstration project that links five municipal buildings.
Micro vision
Microgrids now account for 772MW of power-generating capacity, according to Pike Research, which is expecting more than 2,000 microgrid sites to be operational worldwide by 2015 — up from fewer than 100 in 2010. The research firm is forecasting the microgrid market will segment as follows:
- Institutional/campus microgrids with a single owner.
- Commercial/industrial microgrids with multiple owners.
- Community/utility microgrids tied to the larger utility grid infrastructure.
- Remote off-grid systems that will be increasingly common in developing countries
- Military microgrids that can support remote base operations without a fuel supply.
Pike Research anticipates the institutional/campus single-owner microgrids will be the largest segment with 53% of deployments by 2015, followed by commercial/industrial with multiple owners at 39% of the deployments.
At a Capitol Hill briefing recently hosted by the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, the smart microgrid design emerged as the vision for transforming the electricity system and improving the value proposition for customers. Presenters from the Galvin Electricity Initiative, Pareto Energy, and the Intel Open Energy Initiative outlined plans for wide-scale implementation of microgrid development and the policy changes needed to make this vision a reality. As the Senate starts debating the Kerry-Lieberman climate change bill, microgrid advocates want to ensure language supporting microgrid adoption is included.
The Galvin Electricity Initiative, founded in 2005 by former Motorola Chief Robert W. Galvin, whose vision of better meeting the needs of the electric consumer in the new century, focuses on consumers, such as homeowners and businesses. It shows them the potential of improvement through three strategies: raising awareness, drive regulatory reform, and rapid prototyping. The initiative has been involved in three prototypes to date.
Since 2006, the initiative has been working with the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), Chicago, on a microgrid design — or what the initiative refers to as a Perfect Power System. Instead of just incrementally upgrading the system, however, the team at IIT had a vision: Create a next-generation system formed from a smart system of microgrids. The redundant loop system with smart switches in the loops will both update and add to existing infrastructure to create a reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly system.
"They own their own distribution system, so they're responsible for the safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of that distribution system," says John Kelly, deputy director at the initiative. "They're also responsible for the efficiency of the power delivery and the cleanliness of the power being delivered."
On projects such as these, the organizations are led by in-house electrical engineers and electricians, and they also subcontract to outside firms. "They have to have a core knowledgeable staff, but they do have to go outside for detailed design and construction," he says. "The leadership still comes from within."
Libertyville, Ill.-based Aldridge Electric recently completed work on the third phase of the IIT pilot project. The Aldridge Electric crew worked weekends and off-campus hours to safely complete the installation of all the electrical switchgear, controls, and medium-voltage and fiber-optic cable.
Solar panels and wind turbines will be installed in the final phase of the project, allowing IIT to be able to sell electricity back to local energy markets. "What we're seeing is these microgrids are buying the type of energy they want," says Kelly. "They don't necessarily have to pay more to get clean energy."
In addition, the system will automatically isolate cable failures and reroute power flow to prevent local building outages, protecting valuable experiments conducted at the university that rely on a stable power source. The IIT team estimates that the project will pay for itself within 5 yr following its completion, generating at least $10 million over 10 yr through grid infrastructure improvements and the ability to purchase electricity based on real-time prices rather than a traditional contracted average.

The second annual Los Silver Lake Soccer Tournament on Saturday proved to be a cliff hanger, with the teams representing Franklin Avenue Elementary of Los Feliz and Silver Lake's Ivanhoe Elementary tied at the 90-minute mark. After a double overtime, Franklin emerged victorious 3 to 1. Despite Saturday's score, both schools will end up winners since the parents' association from both campuses will divide event proceeds equally, said. Stephanie Wolf-Hicks with the Friends of Ivanhoe. Click on the link for Wolf-Hicks summary of the game and fundraiser.
The game was a nail-biter, at the half, Ivanhoe Dragons were up1:0 from an early penalty kick in the box by Julian Farino. The Foxes equalized in 60th minute with a cross by Bobby Tannen that curled into left top corner of the net. At the 90th minute, the game was still tied. It went into double-overtime and Ivanhoe lost on penalty kicks 3:1.The event was a hit for all ages, neighbors and attendees alike enjoyed the King Kone & In N Out trucks and Whole Foods Glendale sponsored drinks. Kids had a dance party & soccer volleyball game at the half, and schools were selling swag, raffling off Tomato Pie and LA Galaxy prizes and after the game, soccer "rivals" toasted and broke bread at a well-attended fundraising after-party at Hyperion Public. All event proceeds are split 50/50 by the friendly LAUSD rival parents' associations, Friends of Franklin and Friends of Ivanhoe.

This book is for intermediate and advanced Buddhist practitioners who wish to deepen their understanding by joining practice with study of traditional ideas. It introduces the reader to contemplations that investigate a series of views of reality as they evolved in the Buddhist tradition. These views are explained in plain English, with contemporary metaphors and examples to bring out their meaning for modern Buddhists. Quotations from both historical and living meditation masters and scholars are presented as examples of key principles. Topics include
- Egolessness
- Appearances and reality
- Methods of investigation
- Enlightenment
- Tenets of different schools through the centuries
- The root of compassion
- The origin of thoughts
Guided exercises encourage the reader to trust in experiential understanding through deep contemplation of complex concepts. The book is structured as a guide for the reader's journey.
"Karr is a friendly teacher of difficult material: exercises offer ways of helping students reach conclusions; demanding chapters of philosophical explication are relieved by quirky 'interludes' of poetry and comedy; and appendixes contain helpful biographies of historical Buddhist teachers and a chart of philosophical systems. . . .Contemplating Reality will challenge the advanced student of Buddhism interested in the historical and intellectual richness of this wisdom tradition." —Publishers Weekly
"This book clearly introduces the main points of Buddhist philosophical inquiry and the key methods for how to contemplate them and gain certainty in them." —Dzogchen Ponlop, author of Wild Awakening
"This book will be tremendously helpful for anyone who encounters it." —Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, author of The Joy of Living
"I can't emphasize enough during this transitional time as Buddhism is being established in the West that at least some of us focus on the Buddhist view. I welcome this book as a sign of the dawn of appreciation of Buddhist wisdom, not just for its exotic aspects but as a philosophy that is up-to-date and even more relevant now than ever." —Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse, author of What Makes You Not a Buddhist
"A jewel of a book, introducing contemplative meditation in a way that's both close to Tibetan tradition and accessible to a Western meditator. This guide provides the missing link that allows us to deeply personalize the Buddhist teachings." —Judith Simmer-Brown, author of Dakini's Warm Breath

So word verification went back on. But then I thought there has to be a better way. So I turned it off again and now have anything coming from "Anonymous" going straight into my deleted box in my e-mail programme so that I don't even see it anymore. Unfortunately, this now means that a comment from anyone who is an Anonymous "no reply blogger" will no longer be seen by me. So if you are one of those, and have something you want to say, could you please e-mail me direct. I'm sorry for the inconvenience to a few, but hopefully it will make it a lot easier for the majority.
I have a case of peaches sitting in the kitchen now waiting to be attended to. When I finish them, I will have enough beautiful bottles to keep us going with fruit on our cereal for 12 months. I love being able to have stone fruit the whole year.

I've had directors at expensive, private day camps, inform me that registration fees and tuition costs can be waived for families that need help. But that information is sometimes whispered or delivered in very hushed tones. (A private camp may not want to be swamped with scholarship requests or may lack the staff to review inquiries.) But there are full scholarships, partial fees, sibling discounts, early-registration fee cuts and other discounts. There are also resident, neighborhood or membership-only tuition breaks.
Some camps award financial packages based on standardized forms and "needs test." Other camps only ask for letters requesting scholarships or discounts. "There's no child left behind,"said one camp director. But he acknowledged that although fee-discounts are available, the burden is on each family to request assistance.

Most people with even a passing interest in the history of New England have heard of the 1938 hurricane that decimated the coast and killed hundreds, but it had never even occurred to me to wonder what effect it had had on New York. Hurricanes do not usually manage to hit New England without impacting NYC and Long Island, of course, but I never made the connection, not even when I spent two days thinking about New York being hit by a hurricane in 1938.
New York papers from the day after the Long Island Express hit were substantially more alarming than from the day after the 1893 storm. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle headline proclaimed "19 Die, 39 Missing in L.I. Hurricane."
|22 September 1938
These focus mostly on New England, but give you a good idea of what the storm held for New York, particularly for the eastern end of Long Island, where it's power was most devastatingly felt.
Perhaps the most haunting part of the Eagle's coverage is the list of the dead, the missing, and the injured. Even a brief reading of the articles, though, shows that the list, and the count, far understate the actual damage. For example, left off the list are the 25 children who were attending a party at the home of Mrs. Norvin Greene in Westhampton Beach, none of whom had been seen since the storm. (The Greenes and their guests were later discovered to have survived.) (Murray, Around Westhampton.)
Below is the list of dead and missing:

Ages ago I worked with a woman who one day told me that her husband did all the housework -- in return for her doing the cooking. He *hated* cooking and wasn't much for going out to dinner, so she cooked every night and he did every little bit of the housework.
I asked her if he had a brother.
She said, "Three, but only one is single. But you don't want him, he's a career criminal, in and out of jail."
I said, "If he does all the housework when he's out of jail, I'll take him!"
Still sad she wouldn't hook me up with the guy...

Many years ago when I was in grad school I came home one day to find my door kicked in. We've reconstructed what happened after the door breaking, and my burgler went into the kitchen, unloaded all my groceries (I hadn't had time to put away more than the cold stuff before my class), made himself several ham, swiss, and lettuce sandwiches (putting the bread and lettuce away, but leaving the meat and cheese out on the counter), then went through the bedroom to the bathroom (I live alone, and as a female, I never leave the seat up) tripping over the cat in the process, so that he fell and hit the memo/record switch on my answering machine. The cat had gone through the window in the bathroom onto the enclosed back porch, presumably to get away from the burgler. Feeling bad about tripping over the cat, the burgler turned the heat on on the porch (managing to melt the side of my good Coleman cooler, grrr!), and fed the cat before leaving.
The recording suggested that the guy had a really bad case of bronchitis, so we figure he was some homeless dude who figured that he could get warm and have some food, and if he was caught, he'd go to jail where he'd be warm and have some food.
He did take my walkman.

UC Berkeley Students and Staff Protest Budget Cuts (Photo Essay)
October 7, 2010 was a day of protest in the UC system, focusing on budget cuts but extending to a range of other student and labor issues. The main planned event of the day at the UC Berkeley campus was a Sproul Plaza rally.
Following a march through the campus, perhaps 500 protestors occupied the Reading Room at Doe Library for several hours, before leaving the building.
These photos, contributed to the Planet by a reader who wishes to remain anonymous, show the chronological sequence of events during the day.
Morning pickets assembled at campus entrances, distributing red armbands and flyers. Some passing drivers honked in support.
Posters lampooning UC President Mark Yudof and Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman (pictured with a Pinocchio nose made of a long balloon) made frequent appearances in the demonstration. During the morning small groups gathered outside, while UC security watched.
The noontime Sproul Plaza rally filled the center of the Plaza and the Savio Steps with several hundred demonstrators.
Following the rally a crowd, probably numbering at least 500, marched to California Hall, the administration building while UC police watched from the sidelines. Along the way a campus display wall with the fundraising slogan "Thanks to UC…" was amended to read, "…I'm in debt."
As the head of the marching column reached California Hall, the rear ranks were still passing through Dwinelle Plaza. The march circled California Hall then headed up towards the Campanile, before circling back to Doe Library.
400-500 demonstrators entered Doe Library and climbed to the main reading room. UC Police initially blocked access after the room filled up, but soon were simply standing by the doors as protestors and curious spectators came and went. In the nearby Heyns Reading Room and other parts of the enormous building, students continued to study undisturbed.
University Library administrators asked the crowd in the reading room to respect the facility and its users, and told them they could stay until the usual closing time of 9:00 pm. Some protestors brought in food—mainly water and bread—and ate at the study tables, while others circulated through the crowd picking up litter and debris.
Protest signs were hung from the bookshelf walls and scattered on tables. Demonstrators talked and debated throughout the room. Individuals stood on chairs and tables to speak to the crowd but the cavernous hall amplified background noise and made it hard for the whole crowd to hear any single speaker. Votes were taken on whether to remain in the building.
Downstairs, UC Police clustered, but according to the Daily Californian live blogging, the protestors largely exited the Library on their own well before the 9:00 pm closing time. Two men had climbed through the windows of the reading room to hang a banner above the main entrance.

There's never been a better time
to apply to Otterbein University.
Apply online today!
Q: What are indirect costs and do I need to include them?
A: Indirect costs are the general support expenses related to the university's operations that cannot be specifically identified to a project1. Also known as Facilities and Administrative (F&A) costs, indirect costs are 'invisible' overhead expenses incurred during the normal implementation of grant-funded projects. Direct costs are faculty salaries, supplies, equipment, or travel expenses. Indirect costs include utilities, administrative oversight and clerical support, and library services.
When a funder allows indirect expenses in a proposal, it's a good chance to recuperate a small percentage of the university's general operations. The percentage allowed varies from grant to grant, funder to funder. No matter what percentage we are allowed to claim, Otterbein reallocates indirect cost income as follows:
Q: What exactly is match/cost-share and is it a problem? A: Match, or cost-share, is an amount of money that is not included in the grant request but is necessary to complete your grant successfully. Let's say a funder will not pay for your transportation to your research site. The expense will be incurred by you or the University. The total for transportation would be your or the University's matching contribution to the grant (save receipts to prove it or to ask for reimbursement). In this case, the matching expense may not be a problem if you received a grant for transportation, or the department chair, dean or provost signed an agreement to pay for it with already-budgeted University funds. But if you seek reimbursement and the expense was not approved, it may not be in the university budget. That's a problem!
'No cost share' are sweet words but if you do encounter the perfect grant for you and there is a requirement to match the funder's investment with an equal amount from Otterbein, let's talk about the costs that we have already budgeted that can help you meet the match without additional grants or fundraising.
Q: Can I purchase food/refreshments with my grant money?
A: Paying for food-related expenses depends on the funder's rules. The State of Ohio will not allow grant funds (state dollars) to be used for food or refreshments 'except in limited and defined circumstances.' (Executive Order 2007 – 09S Imposing Limits on the Use of Public Funds for the Purchase of Food.) See Otterbein's policies for reimbursement to guide expenditures.

Andrew MarvellBiography
In 1657 Marvell was appointed assistant to Milton, who was then Latin Secretary. Two years later Marvell was elected to the House of Commons, where he served his constituents conscientiously, refusing all bribes and writing frequent newsletters. These newsletters, together with some satires and religious tracts, made up most of the writings for which he was known during his lifetime. Three years after his death a volume of his poetry was published by a woman who claimed to be his widow, but who later turned out to be his housekeeper.

Stamford park celebrates five years of barking and wagging
STAMFORD -- Pot-bellied, floppy-eared Rosie didn't look very mobile out there at the dog park Saturday, but she made some noise, standing resolutely just inside the shade of a giant tree, tail wagging furiously, sounding her beagle bark at the little terriers, Chihuahuas, pugs and poodles flashing by her as they engaged in their own high-speed game of doggie tag.
Saturday was a celebration of the five-year anniversary of Stamford's first dog park, a 1.2-acre section of Hunt Park off Courtland Avenue, where dogs of all ages and breeds can play. The dog park is fenced off into two sections, one for big dogs and one for smaller dogs. And Saturday, amid the brief speeches, the free pizza and other celebratory stuff, the dogs played. Socialization and play are not just for the dogs here, as the humans have also been known to get some exercise chasing their pets and also get in some socialization of their own talking to other owners.
Rosie's owner, Karen Varga, said the dog park was a selling point for her when she moved to Stamford after accepting a job here. In addition to Rosie, she brought Rocco, a peppy Yorkie, with her. The trio enjoy the park as much as the weather permits, Varga said.
Juan Arenas, a Stamford resident for 18 years, has had his dog Bambino for six. He brought the retriever to the park to play and get a microchip implanted from Outreach to Pets in Need, which was providing them free.
This park is special. It took three years just to get it built, maneuvering through the various city boards and addressing concerns about mess and liability. Unlike other parks, this one is not about people, though certainly the people enjoy it. It is really about the dogs, and a way for the owners to reward another species on the planet that has for some reason adopted us as family. Talk to most dog owners and they'll tell you their dogs give everything and ask for nothing back, but a pat on the head or a rub of the tummy. Sometimes they are even life savers.
"I have never loved anyone like him," Arenas said of Bambino. "I was alone before I got him."
More InformationMore photos online
To view more photos of the event, visit stamfordadvocate.com.
Arenas said he suffers from depression, and on the advice of his psychologist, he got Bambino. The dog changed his life.
Now he's got a best friend, and the park is a wonderful place to take him, especially this month.
"I live by the water and we walk on the beach. He likes to swim, but because of the contamination, he can't," Arenas said, referring to last week's huge sewage spill into the sound from Stamford.
Ali Girardi, president of OPIN, has five dogs. It's sort of a requirement when you run a rescue organization, she said, standing near the microchipping station, where a line had formed. In it, a little dog strained at its leash, moving side to side like a kite in a strong wind, as it tried to play with a big Lab standing near him.
Girardi said providing chips is important. Too often, a dog gets out and can get a long way from home and winds up in a shelter that has no way of knowing who the owner is. The chip, which is smaller than a grain of rice and is inserted under the skin of an animal's neck, ties the dog and owner together forever.
Mayor David Martin spoke briefly at the event, and admitted that he wasn't an immediate supporter of creating the dog park. He was president of the Board of Representatives when it was proposed, and was skeptical about whether it would be popular with people, or even whether it was feasible. The leaders of the effort to create the park, Art Layton and Eileen Heaphy, both BOR members at the time, pushed for the park and prevailed, though.
"Thank you so much, Eileen. Thank you so much, Art," Martin said. "This dog park would not have existed without Eileen and Art."
Heaphy and Layton both enjoyed the day talking to dog owners, giving out prizes and making announcements. Layton said it was Heaphy's idea and he jumped aboard. As he talked, he greeted a shaggy black dog named Shea, patting the gregarious dog up and down. "Hi Shea, Shea," he said to the dog.
The struggle to open the park is something developers and other property owners hoping to build or create something in the city have faced.
The group had to find the land, create a plan for it and then get it through all the proper boards and commissions, also while raising money.
As the recession began to develop, the newly formed nonprofit Dog Friends of Stamford formed to raise money to fund its construction.
"We raised $27,000 during the recession," Layton said. "Most of the donations were $20 to $25."
That success has been echoed in the popularity of the park. Layton said the park gets a steady stream of visitors daily from sunup to sundown.

NIH Reaches Privacy Deal With Lacks Family

Alliant International University aims to foster applied scholarship, combining community engagement with a multicultural/international focus. Core faculty member and Assistant Professor at Alliant's California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP), Dr. Matthew Porter, studies the influence of soft psychological variables on adjustment and development in response to existentially threatening life events. Porter, who joined Alliant in 2009, used his CSPP new faculty seed money to develop university and community affiliations in Rio de Janeiro while piloting new research methods there.
Porter's efforts, along with CSPP and Alliant's support, have begun to pay off. Porter recently won a Core Fulbright Scholar Grant to fund an investigation of the impact of culture on the psychological effects of long-term survivorship of those with HIV/AIDS in Brazil. Porter will undertake the project at the Instituto de Medicina Social da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro.
Before coming to Alliant, during 12 years of clinical work on HIV/AIDS in New York City, Porter became interested in how some of the people he worked with managed to use the illness as a springboard to better psychological, philosophical or spiritual development. One aim of Porter's current research, of which the Fulbright award is part, is to help clarify the potential role of existential threats as facilitative events for the development of wisdom, understood as a characteristic pertaining to optimal human development.
In this project, Porter focuses on people diagnosed with HIV/AIDS before the advent of the earliest effective treatments, highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART). This is a population of particular interest for lifespan developmental and health psychology because it affords an opportunity to study the impact of mortality, morbidity and stigmatization/disenfranchisement on well-being and psychological development in adults. The project is tied to Alliant's mission, as it extends lifespan developmental psychology to an under-served population, often with mental health needs. Many of the participants in Porter's ongoing project thought they had received a "death sentence." Most progressed through life-threatening stages of illness, often coming very close to death. Those who remain alive today, with very few exceptions, are those who were fortunate enough to get access to HAART before it was too late. Porter states, "The project aims to use these people's experiences to understand death's potential to help us improve our lives."
The central goal of the Brazilian portion of the project is to help clarify the impact of the collectivism-individualism continuum on the psychological effects of survivorship. In line with Alliant's mission to promote multiculturalism/internationalism in scholarship, Porter will compare his data from Brazil to comparable data from an earlier U.S. phase of the same project. In 1996, the year that HAART was approved for use in the U.S., Brazil was the first, and at the time the only, country outside of North America and Europe that offered HAART, free of charge, to anyone in need. Though other countries have since followed suit, Brazil remains unique outside of North America and Europe in having a large population of people who have lived with HAART since its advent in 1996. It is this historical similarity, superimposed upon the marked cultural differences, that will allow Porter to make the planned comparison.
Ultimately, Porter hopes to contribute to the reduction of stigma currently facing the HIV/AIDS and other chronic illness communities, and increase mainstream appreciation of the potential wisdom of a marginalized cultural group. He is hopeful that a book, as well as several journal articles, will come from the larger project, and that his association with Fulbright will help his work reach a larger audience.
Porter has already involved a handful of CSPP/Alliant students in the larger project. The Brazilian arm will bring more opportunities for that. He adds, "Students often come to me looking for research experience, so the opportunity to help out in the monumental task of coding interviews is a win-win situation." In the past, his students have collaborated with him up to and including co-authorship on peer-reviewed articles and presentation of the findings in academic symposia. This semester, students from his advanced existential class will participate in a lecture series to help them gain research experience as they work on their clinical listening and interpretation skills.
He states, "I have found Alliant to be very supportive of this type of work, which develops interconnections between scholarship, multicultural/international competence and community engagement."

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 11, 2013) – The reigning Atlantic Sun Conference Champion ETSU baseball team began preparing for the upcoming 2014 campaign as the Blue and Gold opened their fall season Monday afternoon at Thomas Stadium.
Starting Monday, the Bucs have 45 days to get their fall practice schedule completed before heading into the offseason. During the fall season, ETSU will also hold intrasquad scrimmages which are open to the public. This weekend the Blue and Gold will scrimmage Friday afternoon at 3 p.m., and Sunday at 1 p.m., at Thomas Stadium.
Head coach Tony Skole was excited to get his entire team on the field on Monday, and the coaching staff knows they need to take advantage of the upcoming weeks to prepare for the 2014 season.
"It was great to finally be on the field with our entire team," said Skole. "Our guys worked extremely hard during our periods of individual work, and now it is going to be fun to try and put some pieces of the puzzle together. My coaching staff has done a phenomenal job preparing our players for these next four weeks. We have an exciting and dynamic group of athletes who are fun to coach."
Overall, the Bucs return 25 players from last year's championship team, while the coaching staff brought in 10 new faces for the upcoming year. The 2013 team finished with 36 wins en route to capturing its first-ever A-Sun title and advancing to the NCAA Regional for the first time since 1981.
Despite losing five seniors from 2013, Coach Skole returns five position players and four pitchers who saw time in the starting rotation. Senior Clinton Freeman (Jonesborough, Tenn.) looks to build off a solid campaign as he was an all-conference performer in 2013. The Jonesborough, Tenn. native is coming off a productive summer in the Cape Cod League and he also received CollegeBaseballInsider.com/Louisville Slugger All-American honors back in August. Meanwhile, sophomores Jeremy Taylor (Fayetteville, Ga.) and Kevin Phillips (St. Louis, Mo.) also picked up A-Sun accolades a year ago as they were both named to the All-Freshmen Team.
Last year's senior class did feature A-Sun Pitcher of the Year and First Team Louisville Slugger All-American Kerry Doane (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.), along with starting outfielder Andrew Green (Powell, Tenn.), second baseman Derek Niesman (Wellington, Fla.), third baseman Alex Reynolds (Johnson City, Tenn.) and catcher Mason Hershey (Altoona, Pa.). Green landed Second Team All A-Sun honors, while Niesman and Reynolds joined Taylor and Doane on the All-Tournament Team.
Doane was taken in the 24th round of the MLB draft by the Cleveland Indians and just wrapped up a stint with the Mahoning Valley Scrappers – Cleveland's Class A short-season team based in the New York-Penn League. The right-handed pitcher went 1-0 with a 4.15 ERA (8 ER/17.1 IP), along with posting 19 strikeouts and two saves in nine appearances for the Scrappers. Despite battling an injury midway during the season, Doane bounced back and was a part of a no-hitter on Sept. 1 at Batavia. Doane was one of three pitchers used in the game and he struck out two of the three hitters he faced in the ninth inning to secure the no-hitter.

Below you can research the secret formula and ingredients which make Gynexin™ so effective in the treatment of Gynecomastia. Gynexin™ is safely regarded and an inexpensive alternative to gynecomastia surgery.
Gynexin™ Supplement Facts:
Gynexin™ Directions:
Take 1 capsule in the morning and 1 capsule in the evening before meals, with a maximum of 4 capsules over a 24 hour period. Drink at least 8 oz. (250 ml) of water with each serving of Gynexin™.
For more information about the individual ingredients of Gynexin™ and there amazing benefits, please continue reading.
Chromium picolinate is a powerful supplement used to battle chromium deficiency, whose true value as a supplement has yet to be fully researched. Just as some individuals are deficient in calcium and use a supplement to balance their bodies, chromium picolinate is used in the same manner for those who cannot get enough chromium through their everyday diet. Most of us get enough chromium from the foods we eat, such as brewer's yeast, whole grains and cheese. For some reason, there are people who are unable to realize the same benefits through diet and require a supplement. That's where the chromium picolinate is a vital and easy solution. Chromium picolinate is chromium combined with picolinic acid and is the easiest form for the body to absorb. Chromium picolinate has other uses and is sought by athletes and individuals seeking help in maintaining a healthy weight. Athletes use chromium picolinate to help maintain a desired body makeup. Research is ongoing about whether it helps reduce insulin resistance, like for diabetics. Some studies have shown it improves glucose resistance. One crucial benefit of having the proper chromium level is maintaining healthy metabolism. Individuals lacking chromium might feel tired or lazy, and also might have difficulty maintaining a healthy weight level. With an adequate chromium level, an individual can regain energy, have an easier time maintaining a healthy weight and improve metabolism. Ongoing research is looking at the potential benefits chromium has in individuals suffering from high cholesterol. There is evidence that chromium might lower cholesterol levels.
The only funny thing about Guggulsterones is its name.
Otherwise, Guggulsterones are a very serious supplement that pack some powerful benefits for the human body, including regulation of cholesterol levels.
Research indicates the supplement helps keep cholesterol levels steady when they are in a healthy range. Guggulsterones assist in turning cholesterol into bile and assist the thyroid, which helps the liver regulate cholesterol, some reports show.
An antioxidant, it is taken from the guggul tree's sap. The tree, officially called Commiphora mukul, is grown in the India region. It also is called guggulipid.
India's traditional health system, or Ayurveda, offers osteoarthritis remedies and one of the most common ingredients in those is guggul.
The guggul tree generates a sap from its bark that has been used for years to make alternative medicines. Researchers have studied the connections between this substance and benefits with obesity and arthritis, among others.
A 2003 study showed guggul did not lower cholesterol, which was surprising as it was contrary to previous research conclusions. However, after looking more closely at the data, researchers found guggul was beneficial.
Guggul also has anti-inflammatory properties with at least one study showing it might be beneficial in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
Theobromine Cacao
Theobromine Cacao is similar to caffeine as both are alkaloids and its health benefits are far reaching.
Also called xantheose, it is bitter and most commonly found in the cacao plant, which is in chocolate.
While theobromine does not stimulate the central nervous system like caffeine, it does stimulate the heart more.
Theobromine is a type of alkaloid called methylxanthines, which are naturally occurring in nature among up to 60 plants. It contains caffeine, yet is not considered addictive.
It has a similar impact on the human body as caffeine, but not as strong.
Theobromine is found in all types of chocolate, although each type contains a different level. Dark chocolates contain the highest levels and in general, the higher quality chocolates contain higher concentrations.
Both a stimulant and a vasodilator, it increases the heart rate and also dilates an individual's blood vessels. The net result is lowering blood pressure and it has been used to treat this condition. Research continues in this area regarding theobromine.
It also is useful in that it promotes drainage, which allows it to be used during the treatment of heart failure. One cause of heart failure is an accumulation of fluid.
Theobromine also is useful in the treatment of respiratory problems.
One study shows theobromine is able to help curb coughing in a manner better than codeine. It also is beneficial for individuals suffering from asthma because it relaxes key respiratory muscles, such as those located in the bronchi.
Green Tea Extract
An increasing number of health benefits are being linked to green tea by researchers across the world, including evidence suggesting it might decrease the risk of some cancers and even heart disease.
Green tea is unique in the tea world because it is not fermented like the others. As a result, it has higher concentrations of antioxidants, which battle the free radicals that damage our bodies. Free radicals occur naturally and also come from outside sources such as pollution.
Yale researchers concluded green tea's benefits might stem from its high content of antioxidants and polyphenols. These might help blood platelets from sticking and also lower cholesterol by not allowing bad cholesterol, or LDL, to oxidize.
Green tea extract's potential benefits with cancer are ongoing. So far, there have been positive studies showing a connection between green tea and breast cancer and prostate cancer. Research with rats sponsored by the American Association for Cancer Research found a form of green tea helped prevent colon cancer during experiments.
A 2006 study that was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found green tea helped lower the rate of cardiovascular disease. It also concluded people who drank green tea had an overall lower mortality rate than those who did not.
Green tea extract also might be of benefit to arthritis sufferers. A 2005 study found the use of green tea might prevent rheumatoid arthritis. The study of mice found fewer developed arthritis and in those that did, it was not as severe.
There remain many claims about green tea that have yet to be studied, mostly because there are so many. Combined, they show the unending promise of its benefits. Among them are treating multiple sclerosis, cancer and halting the spread of debilitating diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
The use of green tea is not new, despite the flood of research on its health benefits in recent years. Some say people in Asia have used it as a traditional medicine for thousands of years. Those uses targeted its ability to regulate blood sugar, improving mental abilities and help digestion.
Most people know caffeine as the substance found in coffees and teas that gives them their morning jolt.
While caffeine is a stimulant of the central nervous system, it has other health benefits that many individuals might not be familiar with.
Caffeine is an ergogenic, meaning it allows an individual to benefit physically or even mentally. One 1979 study showed test subjects who took caffeine cycled 7 percent more than those who did not. Other studies show similar findings in runners and cyclists.
Caffeine also has been linked to helping certain breathing problems, including apnea of prematurity, which is a common disorder in premature babies. It occurs because the central nervous system is not yet developed enough to dictate continuous breathing, which causes the infant to have shallow breathing interrupted by bursts of air.
Discovered by German chemist Friedrich Ferdinand Runge in 1819, caffeine is a psychoactive stimulant, yet it is legal throughout North America. Most psychoactive drugs are not legal.
It also is a diuretic, meaning it causes urine to be produced more frequently.
The caffeine chemical compound has other names, such as guaranine, mateine and theine.
It is found in more than 60 different plants, although the most common plant for humans is the coffee plant. Its beans are harvested and sold. Tea leaves also are a very common form.
The effect of caffeine on the body differs among individuals, depending on size and tolerance. For most, the impact of caffeine hits within an hour and can last for more than three hours.
Sclareolides is derived from clary sage, Salvia sclarea, which is a biennial herb. It is used to help increase testosterone and decrease estrogen. It is commonly used to help shrink fat cells in slimming and skin-firming products.

Crêpes Suzette
This favorite old-time recipe for crepes suzette is as good as ever.
My mother always used this Joy of Cooking recipe for her crepes and it's a good one. You need to make this batter at least 3 hours before serving and keep covered and refrigerated. (You can also refrigerate overnight.) The sauce recipe calls for maraschino, curaçao and kirsch. I substitute rum and Grand Marnier. The sauce base should be made at least 12 hours ahead.
Yield: Makes 4 servings
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon milk
A pinch of salt
1 tablespoon butter (more as needed)
Combine and stir until the ingredients are the consistency of thin cream. Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
When ready to cook, heat about a third of the butter over medium heat in either a crepe pan or small (7 to 8 inches) nonaluminum frying pan.
When the butter bubbles, pour a thin layer of batter into frying pan and turn to coat bottom. The thin coating should be "almost like the white of an egg," according to the Joy of Cooking.
Keep the pan moving. This is a delicate substance. When the batter just begins to come away from the side of the pan and the crêpe is slightly browned, flip to the other side and cook until browned. Add butter as needed.
The pancakes can be made ahead and stacked, with waxed paper between each one. They will be reheated in the sauce. Before cooking in the sauce, fold each crepe in half and then in half again, making a triangle.
3/4-inch square piece lemon rind
3/4-inch square piece orange rind
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
4-6 ounces liqueur such as maraschino, curaçao, kirsch or Grand Marnier (or an alcohol such as rum)
Combine lemon and orange rinds, vanilla and sugar and put in a covered jar for 12 hours or more. It may be refrigerated for months.
Melt the butter in a small skillet, or a chafing dish if you're doing this at the table, and when it starts to bubble, add the alcohol. Light the sauce and as the flame dies down, add the lemon and orange mixture.
Plunge the folded crepes, one at a time into the hot sauce and turn, spooning the sauce over both sides. Put 2 crepes on each of the 4 plates and spoon remaining sauce over them.
Adapted from a recipe by Irma S. Rombauer and Marion Rombauer Becker in Joy of Cooking (Bobbs-Merrill, 1964)

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2006 Media Releases
Mayor Coleen J. Seng today presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence for November to Barbara Anderson of the Urban Development Department. The monthly award recognizes City employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the City. The award was presented at the beginning of today's City Council meeting.
Anderson has been a community resource specialist with the Workforce Investment Program, also known as One Stop Employment Solutions, for 12 years. She was nominated in the category of customer relations by Urban Development Director Marc Wullschleger.
Mayor Seng recently received a letter from a job-seeking client praising Anderson for going "above and beyond the regular call of duty." He wrote that she is a "good example of what is right with the City of Lincoln." She also read from other letters Anderson has received from clients:
"Thank you for giving the drive and also thank you for making me gain confidence in myself."
"Thank you for helping me make my dreams come true! I really appreciate all that you do for me and all the other dislocated workers you work with."
"She always had an ear to listen to me and she was always there to cheer me on. I would not be where I am if it wasn't for the faith Barb had in me."
"You are the perfect person for this job because you do care about people and you are not just doing it for a paycheck."
Wullschleger said most of the individuals Barb works with are financially strained and under a lot of stress. He said Barb's caseload has exceeded 100 clients for the past several years, but she has maintained superior customer service and has the ability to get people to believe in themselves.
The other categories in which employees can be nominated are valor, safety, loss prevention and productivity. All City employees are eligible for the Mayor's Award of Excellence except for elected officials and some managers. Individuals or teams can be nominated by supervisors, peers, subordinates and the general public.
Nomination forms are available from department heads, employee bulletin boards or the Personnel Department, which oversees the awards program. All nominations are reviewed by the Mayor's Award of Excellence Committee, which includes a representative with each union and a non-union representative appointed by the Mayor. Award winners receive a $100 U.S. savings bond, a day off with pay and a plaque. Monthly winners are eligible to receive the annual award, which comes with a $500 U.S. savings bond, two days off with pay and a plaque.

Mayor Don Wesely today congratulated the Lincoln Council on Alcoholism and Drugs (LCAD) on receiving a $60,000 grant to increase awareness of treatment and recovery options. LCAD, on behalf of the Lincoln-Lancaster County Substance Abuse Action Team, received the grant from Join Together, a national resource for communities taking action against substance abuse.
"Lincoln's goal is to become the healthiest community in the nation, and we can't accomplish that without working on substance abuse prevention and treatment," said Mayor Wesely. "Promoting treatment and recovery options can open the door to a new life for those trapped by substance abuse."
LCAD will also join the national Demand Treatment! program, Join Together's initiative to increase the number of people receiving quality treatment for substance use disorders by building local leadership, providing information, improving treatment quality and ending discrimination. LCAD and the Substance Abuse Action Team will create a public awareness campaign emphasizing a diverse and comprehensive perspective of treatment and recovery.
"If the citizens of Lincoln and Lancaster County understand the issues and have a vehicle for involvement, they can become the voice that demands treatment from government, employers, the justice system and public health," said Deb Sprague, Executive Director of LCAD.
LCAD is one of 14 Demand Treatment! partners selected this year from more than 50 competing applicants across the nation. Join Together will provide these communities and counties with technical assistance, funding and leadership development over the next two years.
"Too many people fail to get the treatment they need because they don't think it will work, or fear they will be fired or forced out of their homes," said David Rosenbloom, Director of Join Together. "We are very pleased that these 14 communities and counties will join us as we demand that the health, criminal justice and specialized treatment systems be expanded and improved."
Join Together is a project of Boston University School of Public Health and receives most of its funding through the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Its website is www.drugfree.org/join-together.

Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel regrets to announce that the 14th Annual Native American Music Awards scheduled for Friday, Nov. 30, at 8 p.m. at Seneca Niagara Events Center is postponed. A rescheduled date for the show has been set for Friday, May 10, 2013, at 8 p.m. Guests may retain their tickets for the new date.
Tickets purchased at any Seneca Casino must be returned to their original point-of-purchase location for a refund. Those who purchased tickets through Ticketmaster may seek a refund at any Ticketmaster location, online at www.ticketmaster.com, or by phone at 1-800-745-3000. Tickets for the May 10 show are now on sale.
The show organizers tragically lost their home due to Hurricane Sandy last month and had initially tried to keep the original date before deciding to postpone the show.
"I am most grateful for Seneca Niagara Casino's understanding and support, and their efforts to ensure the awards show continuation by providing a postponement date," said Ellen Bello, president and founder, Native American Music Association. "I am also deeply touched by the outpouring of support and love from our artist community. Mother Earth has presented us with an extremely challenging time for me and my family as well as many other coastal communities throughout New York and New Jersey, but we will rebuild and prevail."
When the upcoming Native American Music Awards resumes on May 10, it will mark the sixth consecutive time the show takes place at Seneca Niagara Events Center. Renowned comedian, ventriloquist and puppeteer Buddy Big Mountain, Tony Duncan - the world-champion hoop dancer featured in Nelly Furtado's music video "Big Hoops" - and Indian E are among a dozen Native entertainers and musicians throughout North America who will be part of the final performance lineup. The event will feature more than 35 diverse awards categories.

LifeHints needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 19 designs submitted by 4 freelance designers.
LifeHints is a free service that automatically suggests hints relevant to
your life — even before you know you need them!
Do you have a will? a bypass trust? How long ago was your furnace last cleaned? What's your BMI, and should you try to lower it? As you mark your personal hints complete, you increase your life score, tracking progress against your own goals and various life models.
Think of LifeHints as your on-line mentor, your guardian angel, or simply an educated friend who consistently points you in the right direction as you move through life.
This a a general consumer web site. We believe that women, age 20-45, with children, will be a strong demographic for us, but the appeal should not be exclusive to that group.
In general we want to convey a light, optimistic feel, that's fun to use, and simple yet powerful, with real depth. Visitors should feel comfortable just reading a few hints for fun, or really diving in and using the site in depth.
This job is to tweak or even completely redesign a logged-in user's Home page. The current site looks nice enough, but we need it to look really polished and clean ... and we'd love it to look stunning.
- http://www.lifehints.com/?sample=y is a limited interactive sample
- http://www.lifehints.com/images/scr…elcome.jpg shows a real page
The new layout/design should:
- Preserve a liquid design (all the pages resize)
- - - Look best at 950-1350px wide
- Keep a light, airy feel
- If anything, look crisper and cleaner
- We like the existing default colors, but feel free to change
- - - See http://www.lifehints.com/user for other supported themes
- The most important things are the recommendations
- - - Ensure the user focuses appropriately
- Support basically the same functionality
- - - OK to completely transform the table into something else
- - - You can even change the logo if you want
- Cannot look like just another me-too site
- Keep a light footprint and be implementable
- - - Don't bother airbrushing in shadowed edges, for example
We'd like to figure out some signature animation to make it really stand out, but that's not part of this job unless you have some idea that impacts the layout. For example, perhaps the recommendation table will rotate to reveal new hints, or fairy dust will swirl to reveal new hints, etc.
