Green Bay, SMU headline list of NCAA tournament snubs
Green Bay coach Brian Wardle told his players all season: Control what you can control.
He would say, for example, not to put themselves in the situation where an official could decide a game's outcome. And it helped as much as anything could help on a night like Sunday when Green Bay was left out of the 2014 NCAA tournament field. The 24-6 Phoenix lost in the Horizon League semifinals last Saturday to Milwaukee, which earned the conference's auto-bid.
Green Bay, along with Southern Methodist, headlines this year's list of snubs.
"We knew we put our fate in other people's hands, in the committee's hands," Wardle told USA TODAY Sports Sunday night. "We thought we had a great year. We are a very talented and tough team. We suffered some injuries throughout the year, and especially last Saturday night with Keifer (Sykes). But we didn't get the game done.
"We knew it was going to be kind of a toss-up, getting into the tournament."
Green Bay was the most deserving midmajor conference regular-season champion to be left out. Sykes and Alec Brown, who combined to average more than 35 points a game, were limited with injuries during the tournament loss. Sykes was the Horizon League player of the year, and Brown was the league's defensive player of the year.
Though Wardle and his team knew the NIT was a possibility following the loss, they held out hope for an at-large bid. They were one of the first four teams left out of the field.
"I thought our resume was pretty strong — winning our league outright by two games, beating Virginia, playing a good non-conference (schedule), beating the Conference USA champs in Tulsa," Wardle said. "We had a lot of pieces in place that we felt good about, but we also knew we weren't sure which route it would go."
NCAA men's basketball committee chairman Ron Wellman called the decision to exclude Green Bay and SMU a "very difficult" one. He pointed out that 21 of Green Bay's 24 victories came against Division I teams. In addition, Green Bay's RPI was outside of the top 50, and though the Phoenix had four wins vs. top-100 teams, they also had three losses outside the top 100.
Wellman expounded upon the SMU snub in a conference call with reporters Sunday night. The Mustangs — and head coach Larry Brown — were the first team left out of the field as they sought to return to the tournament after a 21-year absence.
"As we looked at SMU, they certainly passed the eye test," Wellman said. "They're a very good team, and they've had a very good year. When you're making these selections, you're looking for differentiators. Is there anything that stands out, either on the positive side or the negative side of the ledger that will cause you to absolutely take that team or really look at prioritizing and selecting other teams? In SMU's case, their downfall, their weakness, was their schedule.
"Their non-conference strength of schedule was ranked No. 302 out of, what do we have, 350 teams eligible for the tournament. It's one of the worst non-conference schedules. Their overall strength of schedule was 129. That would have been by far the worst at-large strength of schedule. The next-worst was 91. Really, the glaring weakness about SMU was their schedule."
Brown said he didn't want to talk about the snub or the NCAA tournament. "We're not in it," he told USA TODAY Sports.
"We are disappointed for SMU after their fine season, but their future, and our conference's future, is very bright," American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco said in a statement.
SMU was ranked in both polls this past week, and it has four victories against top-25 teams this season. But the committee decided to make an example of the Mustangs; its weak non-conference schedule would not be rewarded. SMU had a loss outside the RPI's top 200 staining its resume as well.
It didn't help, either, that the committee showed little reverence for their conference. Fellow AAC member Louisville is one of the hottest teams in the nation having won 29 games including the AAC championship game, and the Cards earned a No. 4 seed.
Florida State, Georgetown, California and Arkansas round out the list of teams close to the bubble who were not selected to the field.
Now, they, Green Bay and SMU are headed to the NIT, where they'll hope to make the most of a disappointing situation.
"I don't live in the past," Wardle said. "We don't really look back and say, shoulda, woulda, coulda. I do know this as a coach, though. When you tell your kids every possession matters in practice and in games, that every detail, every little thing matters, this is a perfect example of this.
"You just never know what game, or what possession, could cost you a bid."

Las Vegas Nevada's Hard Rock Café was a glamour and glitz setting for the "Movement's" Annual Blackout party. Guests arrived red carpet ready in designer fashions.
Over a thousand guests partied throughout the night to the mind blowing imagery and sounds provided by DJ Poun and DJ Frazen. Local and out of town celebrities crowded the standing room only venue. Fans of DJ Poun and DJ Frazen flew and drove in from Atlanta, Chicago, LA, Phoenix and New York. There were also fans from London and West Africa. The event, founded by Thomas Mason, has tripled in attendance and popularity since it began five years ago. Mason has successfully created an upscale, hip and eclectic energy in Las Vegas where celebrities and guests can mingle freely and openly.
E! Correspondent and BET television personality and actor Terrence Jenkins (AKA Terrence J) hosted the event. Terrence is still recognized as a former host on BET's popular music video countdown show 106 & Park. His entourage was made up of beautiful people who resembled a Vogue and GQ Magazine photo layout. VIP Guests received special goody bags that included jewelry and designer key chains. They were also treated to the famous alcohol infused deserts from Sin City Cupcakes.
Lisa Broussard has attended every Blackout 5 event and said, "they just get better and better." The party, in true Vegas style, lasted until early morning.

Leonard Cohen has much to teach a culture that too often favours youth and beauty over age and wisdom.
Time has been kind to Cohen, who enraptured and enthralled a multi-generational audience at Saskatoon's Credit Union Centre Tuesday night.
As the lights went down on CUC, Cohen jogged quickly into his place between his assembled cast of world-class musicians, all dressed much like the 74-year-old Cohen, who wore a crisp black suit and a fedora.
Doffing his hat, he got down on his knees as virtuoso guitarist Javier Mas began the opening song, Dance Me To the End of Love.
The musicians have performed more than 100 shows with Cohen since he began his world tour in 2008, and the precision with which they play together is apparent, providing the background to Cohen's poetry with grace and ease. The audience will never know how hard they work.
Cohen moved through decades of material, offering his dark prophecies in the form of 1992's The Future. With the lyrics "love the only engine of survival," Cohen sent out a timely message in a climate of widespread economic panic, teetering global markets and the pervasive scent of despair trotted out daily by the media.
"Your private life will suddenly explode," he sings, as if predicting the advent of social networking, doing his best to lighten the mood with a few well-timed dance steps.
Cohen has often insisted his voice sounds better with female accompaniment, and the cartwheeling Webb sisters and long-time collaborator Sharon Robinson provided a pitch-perfect, ethereal accompaniment to his textured baritone.
"Speak to the angels," he said, looking rapturously at them.
He also maintained a similar reverence for his audience, adding "thank you folks" after many of the songs.
With Bird on a Wire, one of his folk singer-era successes, we were reminded once again of the power of his lyricism, his voice doing its best to slip into the higher registers he used to employ.
At press time Cohen had just begun the second half of the evening, manning a keyboard that was playing the synthesized beats of Tower of Song. The crowd was in full anticipation of favourites like Suzanne and Hallelujah to come.

It is expected that construction output growth will continue in the UK in 2015 and also continue to broaden out beyond house building.
United Kingdom
- Output continues to grow in 2015
- Payment delays remain high
- Bank financing remains an issue
Output in the UK construction industry increased 5.8% year-on-year between January-November 2014, with both new construction as well as repair and maintenance increasing (up 5.7% and 0.1% respectively). Within new construction there were increases in new housing (up 21.9%) and private industrial construction (up 8.8%). Construction activity has continued to broaden out beyond house-building. Demand for housing has softened over the last couple of months and has become more aligned with supply. According to the Office for National Statistic's House Price Index, house price inflation decreased to 10.4% in October 2014, from 12.1% in September 2014.
It is expected that construction output growth will continue in 2015 and also continue to broaden out beyond house building. According to the Construction Products Association output will increase 5% in 2015, followed by 4.2% in 2016. House builders have not scaled back their build programmes in late 2014 and early 2015, but this is expected to happen in the course of 2015 in response to some softening in housing demand. Growth in the commercial construction subsector is expected to increase (e.g. out-of town-shopping and big city projects and factory expansions). Office development had also picked up. A proportion of this was however deemed to be speculative in nature. Infrastructure projects are also expected to increase in 2015 and beyond.
Despite the rebound, the construction sector is still affected by trailing effects of the past recession. This became evident in 2014, with a high number of profit warnings, senior management changes and reported losses. The on-going problems are particularly noticeable in the tendering process, as during the downturn construction companies took on contracts at conditions that were no longer sustainable in 2013 and 2014, due to raw material price increases and higher labour costs. Companies still have to find a balance between taking on work and managing costs, particularly on fixed-price contracts on which they are experiencing cost price inflation since winning the tender. This has been particularly apparent in the mechanical and electrical construction sectors.
Overall there is the perception that credit conditions have improved, however this accounts only for banks competing hard for lower risk business with larger, asset rich construction companies. For many smaller businesses access to bank finance has remained difficult or subject to unattractive terms. There is evidence that non-bank alternative funding sources have grown, however the market is still difficult to tap for smaller businesses. This lack of funding will affect companies that may need to resume investment, particularly in capital expenditure to cope with a growing market as volumes increase again.
Payment delays were still high in 2014 as some of the major tier-one contractors pushed their payment terms out to 90 days and in some instances even to 120 days. However with volume returning to the market the dynamic has changed somewhat as sub-contractors are now able to be more selective in choosing which contracts to tender for and therefore have more influence on the payment terms. This could have an impact on the major tier 1 and tier 2 companies as they may have to negotiate with their sub-contractors on tighter payment terms than they had previously. However, we expect the number of payment delays to remain high in the coming months.
That said, construction insolvencies continued to decrease in 2014. We expect construction insolvencies to level off in 2015, as lack of demand – a key driver behind insolvencies - is less likely next year, however access to finance, raw material costs and delayed payments will still be issues for the sector in 2015. Therefore our underwriting approach will remain cautious for the time being.

SEC records fall, as does Derek Dooley's job security
Tennessee survived, but did the win do anything for Derek Dooley's job security with the Volunteers?
UT survived against Troy, after all, and not Alabama, Florida or another SEC rival. Troy, of the Sun Belt – the other Trojans.
And looked terrible doing so. Yes, the offense was explosive: UT gained 717 yards, 531 of which came through the air. For the first time all season, Tyler Bray looked like an all-SEC quarterback.
But the defense was as bad as ever, and this has officially become a trend. First-year coordinator Sal Sunseri has implemented the 3-4 base set to disastrous results: UT gained 718 yards, yes, but also allowed 721.
The teams combined for 1,439 yards, a new SEC single-game record.
The Volunteers have allowed 38 or more points in five consecutive games, tying a record by an SEC team. Vanderbilt did the same from 2001-02, as did Mississippi State in 2003.
"It's a bad defense, man," Dooley said after the game. "We didn't have an answer anything."
The win moved Tennessee to 4-5, snapping a five-game losing streak (all in SEC play). With Missouri, Vanderbilt and Kentucky to come, UT has a very good chance at returning to bowl play after a one-year absence.
"I feel pretty good," Dooley said. "Better than you guys think. Think of the alternative (a loss)."
But will that be enough? Most of all, would six wins be enough after the way UT has looked this season – not only in defeat but also in victory?
Few losses could feel worse than Saturday's win over the Trojans. The Volunteers led 28-10 four minutes into the second quarter, led 31-30 at halftime, trailed 40-34 after the third quarter and trailed 48-41 in the fourth quarter before scoring the game's final 14 points.
"Every football traditionalist is rolling over in their grave right now," Dooley said.
This is Tennessee, not Middle Tennessee (or Tennessee-Martin). At what point have Dooley's returns diminished to the point where UT feels no choice but to make a coaching change?
And if you don't think it can get any worse, you don't know Tennessee.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni unlikely to go with three spinners
India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has hinted that he is unlikely to play three spinners in the four-Test series opener against England starting at the Motera here Thursday.
"Maybe if we get a wicket like the one at Kanpur against South Africa (played in 2008), it makes sense to go with a spin heavy attack. It is always advisable to have a bowling attack which has people available for different scenarios," said Dhoni at the pre-match press conference here.
This would mean that off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, who has been recalled to the side in than a year, is most likely to sit out for Ravichandran Ashwin and Pragyan Ojha.
"Ashwin and Ojha understand each other really well, something that's very important. Ojha is someone who can keep it tight at one end and Ashwin will always be more aggressive, someone who has got plenty of variations and loves to use those," said Dhoni.
On Harbhajan's role in the series, Dhoni said: "Bhajji features in the world's top five spinners. Ojha has played with him in some matches. Bhajji can share things with Ashwin because Ashwin is slightly different to him. I feel he has got a big amount of contribution to make in the coming series," added the wicket-keeper batsman.
Dhoni refused to comment whether this will be a revenge series after the 0-4 thrashing India had received in England last year. "I know for a fact that when we go to the field, there will be a red ball, two teams that will play. You can name it whatever you want," said the 31-year-old.
Dhoni also praised comeback man Yuvraj Singh and said his place is vital in the team. "The best thing for us is Yuvraj bats at number five or six and his left-arm spin. It's a very important role for us as we don't have a genuine all-rounder and play with four bowlers. His contribution will be very important."

Lent is a time to recover our connection to God's creation.
In "Don't be crude," I suggested that those of us in developed nations have an addiction to oil. To overcome this addiction, we might learn from the 12-step programmes that help other addicts: realizing our powerlessness over the problem; seeking a higher power to help overcome our weakness; and taking things "a day at a time" meaning that we should consider how our daily choices have consequences for a warming planet.
What we buy, how we move, what we waste, how we conserve, how we spend our time: all of these things impact our planet and its people.
It strikes me that Lent asks many of these same questions. Lent calls us to sacrifice, to deny ourselves, to pray more fervently, to become more in touch with our Creator. Linking Lenten practices with a greater awareness of our finite planet and the needs of so many across the globe seem to me to be obvious connections.
My home diocese, the Archdiocese of Washington (DC), has also made these connections and developed a Lenten Carbon Fast Calendar. The Archdiocesan website offers several tools to help Catholics with their Lenten practices including the calendar. They say: "Our Environmental Concerns committee is offering a Lent Calendar that invites us to reflect on the stewardship dimension of our discipleship from an environmental perspective through prayer and a 'carbon fast.' …[These and other tools] aid us in deepening our relationship with the Lord and leaving go of bad habits that grow into sin and take on good habits that grow into virtues."
The Catholic Coalition on Climate Change broadcast the calendar and encouraged other Catholics to consider some of these practices if they wished.
But in the same U.S. Catholic print edition (April 2011), a graphic demonstrated just how far the practice of Care for Creation is in the spiritual life of Catholics. According to the Pew Forum's 2010 Annual Religion and Public Life survey, 86% of white and 89% of Hispanic Catholics in the U.S. favor tougher environmental laws and regulations. That's the good news. The bad news is that only 3% of white Catholics and 9% of Hispanic Catholics say that religion is the biggest influence on their attitudes about environmental regulations.
As someone who has worked intensively on the climate change issue within the U.S. Catholic community for nearly five years all I can say is, "Dan, you need to do a better job."
While somewhat distressing, I am also heartened by polling that the Coalition conducted just prior to the launch of our signature campaign: the Catholic Climate Covenant: The St. Francis Pledge to Care for Creation and the Poor. In this survey, Catholics, by overwhelming majorities nearing 90 percent in some cases, were willing to or had already done the five things asked for in the St. Francis Pledge which are to:
- PRAY and reflect on the duty to care for God's Creation and protect the poor and vulnerable.
- LEARN about and educate others on the causes and moral dimensions of climate change.
- ASSESS how we–as individuals and in our families, parishes, and other affiliations–contribute to climate change by our own energy use, consumption, waste, etc.
- ACT to change our choices and behaviors to reduce the ways we contribute to climate change.
- ADVOCATE for Catholic principles and priorities in climate change discussions and decisions, especially as they impact those who are poor and vulnerable.
And large majorities also support messages about why we need to do these things. Catholics in the U.S. are persuaded to do something about climate change because:
- "It shows respect for Creation." (83%)
- "It leads to a safer world for my children." (66%)
- "I am obliged to protect poor people from harmful impacts." (64%)
- "I am obligated to help those with the fewest resources to withstand the harmful impacts of climate change." (65%)
So what's the conclusion and what's the connection between these polls and Lent?
I believe that perhaps Catholics, when asked specific questions about how they might live out their faith vis-à-vis the environment, do see the links. Most of us are truly concerned about environmental harm but we have failed to see the connection to ancient teachings (about stewardship, reverencing God's good gift of Creation, caring for our neighbor who suffers as a result of environmental neglect) and this concern. Granted, we have a long way to go to help Catholics recover these connections.
To me, Lent provides one opportunity to move in this direction. During Lent, we are called to sacrifice in preparation for the celebration of our Risen Lord when we celebrate a new Creation and glorify the goodness of our Creator. Is this the only way to prepare for Easter? Certainly not. But in an age that is threatened by "disturbing climate change" as Pope Benedict XVI said in his Easter message two years ago, it may be a start for some.

NEWPORT BEACH – Firefighters Grant McKee and Robert Caldwell were cousins, but died as brothers, members of the elite Granite Mountains Hotshots family.
They were young, just 21 and 23. One was recently married; the other engaged. They were cousins and friends who worked together battling wildfires. They were together when an Arizona wildfire overtook them and 17 other Hotshot crew members on June 30.
A public memorial service on Saturday honored McKee and Caldwell, who died in the Yarnell Hill wildfire. The elite crew within the Prescott Fire Department specializes in fighting wildfires with hand tools and chain saws.
Some of those tools, uniforms and boots were displayed near the altar next to portraits of McKee and Caldwell and red, white and blue flower arrangements.
Out of 20 crew members, all but one died when they were overtaken by the fast-moving, 8,000-acre wildfire, which eventually was contained on July 10. The deaths of the Hotshots were the most firefighters killed at one time since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
McKee and Caldwell, who had ties to Newport Beach and Costa Mesa, were among six firefighters with ties to Southern California, including Kevin Woyjeck of Seal Beach.
About 325 people attended the hour-long ceremony at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. Orange County Fire Department crews from Newport Beach, Costa Mesa and Laguna Beach attended the ceremony along with family members and friends reported to be from Prescott, Ariz., and the Newport Beach and Costa Mesa area.
McKee, 21, was engaged and training to become an emergency medical technician. His former Pop Warner football coach and friend, Kirk Norton, spoke of his upbeat attitude and relentless spirit.
"I met him as a team player and he went down as a team player," Norton said. "I really miss my hero."
Like Norton, McKee's father, Scott McKee, praised his son and nephew for their courage and strength to do their jobs. He said the two "loved people they didn't even know. They stopped to help everybody."
"They didn't fall, they rose," Scott McKee said. "…I wish I was half the man my son was."
Robert Caldwell, 23, was recently married and worked as a squad boss with the Hotshots. Caldwell's sister, Taylor Caldwell, spoke of both Caldwell and McKee as her "brothers," noting that McKee joined the Granite Mountain Hotshots to work with his cousin.
Taylor Caldwell said McKee and Caldwell "met every challenge that ever came to them." She led the room in applause for the two firefighters.
"Devastation is not the appropriate word for the situation," Taylor Caldwell said. "…I know they are up there and just saying, 'We did what we loved.' "
Caldwell is survived by his wife Claire, son Zion, his mother and father Dave and Linda Caldwell, and his sister Taylor Caldwell.

"Defining the contours of freedom"
by root Contributions — Published on Dec 23, 2009 08:07 AM
A special appeal from Creative Commons founder and Harvard Law School professor Lawrence Lessig.
"The Free Software Foundation and Richard Stallman's work represents the most important work for freedom that this culture (the American culture) has seen in many many generations, because it takes the idea of freedom and it removes it from the ivory tower and it removes it from lawyers and places it in a community—a technology community—that is one of the most important communities defining the contours of freedom that most people in our culture—and increasingly around the world—will know."

Shopper's Guide to Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs
Resolving to save money? And the planet? Compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs promise a win-win: according to the industry and U.S. government's Energy Star program, which promotes CFL bulbs and other substitutes for energy-hogging incandescents, a CFL uses 75 percent less energy than its incandescent counterpart, lasts up to 10 times longer and prevents more than 450 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions from entering the atmosphere.
Over its lifetime, a single CFL can save the consumer $80 or more, depending on local electric rates.
But all CFL bulbs aren't equal. Some have lower mercury content than others, and some last much longer. Unfortunately, you can't tell the best of the best by their labels - or the U.S. government Energy Star logo. Some Energy Star labelled bulbs could not be legally sold in Europe due to excessive mercury content.
An Environmental Working Group investigation has identified 7 bulb lines made by Earthmate, Litetronics, Sylvania, Feit, MaxLite and Philips that trump the rest. These bulbs, listed in our Green Lighting Guide contain a fraction of the toxic mercury allowed by Energy Star, reducing the mercury contamination from a broken bulb. All last 8-15,000 hours, dramatically longer than the Energy Star standard of 6,000 hours, and also offer high efficiency.
President Obama says his energy strategy and economic stimulus plan will focus on moving toward use of CFLs and other energy-efficient lighting sources. "We can save huge amounts of energy costs and reduce our dependence on foreign oil by simple things like weatherization and changing the lighting in major buildings," Obama said on Meet the Press Dec. 6. "That's going to be part of our economic recovery plan. It actually allows us to spend some money, put some people to work right away, but it also creates a long- term, sustainable energy future."
CFL use in U.S. households has reached a new high: 1 bulb in 4 sold in the 3rd quarter of 2008 was a CFL.
The trend toward CFL use is welcome. But Energy Star and its parent agencies -- the Department of Energy (DOE) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-- have not adequately addressed the risks of mercury in CFL bulbs.
Launched in 1982 as an energy-efficiency rating system, Energy Star has driven development of energy-saving appliances and consumer products. But under the Bush administration, Energy Star drifted to the rear, becoming a passive partner of the electrical industry. EWG's best bulbs carry the Energy Star logo - but so do a lot of average and even sub-par bulbs. The program deploys a trailing-edge incentive structure that rewards stragglers as handsomely as innovators.
The Obama administration must reinvigorate Energy Star, using its marketing cachet and other incentives to push low-toxin energy efficiency in lighting. Stricter mercury standards for CFL bulbs could encourage wary consumers to buy more of them and speed the transition away from wasteful incandescent bulbs. EWG recommends:
- Lowering the maximum mercury content in each CFL bulb to 3 miligrams (mg). This measure would save 225 pounds of mercury for every 100 million bulbs.
- Creating a tiered ("Platinum," "Gold," "Silver") rating system to reward creative companies that produce the highest efficiency, longest-lived bulbs with the lowest mercury content.
- Updating minimum requirements every 2 years instead of every 5 years, to take advantage of rapidly changing technology and fierce competition among bulb makers vying for bigger shares of the green-products market.
- Adopt an independently verifiable mercury content limit for CFL bulbs. Energy Star requires only that the manufacturers file a statement about bulb mercury content with the National Electrical Manufacturers Association.
Energy Star updates: Too little, too late
Energy Star's 2008 standards, unveiled last March as a replacement for 2003 specifications, proposed to ratchet up energy efficiency requirements, tighten other performance measures and, for the first time, set a cap on bulb mercury content.
The 2008 specs were scheduled to take effect December 2nd. But in mid-October, DOE officials made a concession to industry officials because of the souring economy: they postponed the 2008 standards for a 6-month "grace period" to July 1, 2009, so that the U.S. inventory of about 100 million bulbs fabricated under 2003 specs could be sold off. EWG research shows that 1 in 3 can't meet 2008 standards for efficiency and life span.
Even when Energy Star's 2008 standards become effective next July, they will leave consumers in the dark about several key facts about CFL mercury content:
- Product labels must disclose that the bulbs contain mercury -- but not how much. Consumers have a right to know exactly how much mercury is in various brands.
- Energy Star's 5 mg mercury cap is twice as high as necessary. In March 2007, in an effort to blunt consumer concerns about mercury, a potent neurotoxin, members of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) issued a voluntary "commitment" to their customers to limit mercury content in most CFL bulbs to 5 mg. A year later, Energy Star adopted the 5 mg cap as its own. Meanwhile, however, manufacturers aware of consumer concerns were competing to lower bulb mercury content. EPA and NEMA estimate the industry-wide average is between 3 and 4 mg. EWG's best bulbs contain just 1 to 2.7 mg of mercury. The 5 mg cap is virtually obsolete now; putting it into effect next July is pointless.
- Some U.S. bulbs that proudly bear the Energy Star seal of approval can't be legally sold in Europe, where the European Union has capped mercury content at 4 mg per bulb for CFLs. Under the new Energy Star criteria, bulbs larger than 25 watts can contain up to 6 mg of mercury.
EWG believes that CFL bulbs are a promising technology to reduce energy consumption and pollution associated with it. Mercury pollution from broken bulbs is offset, and more, by larger gains from energy conservation. Coal-fired electrical plants are a major source of mercury emissions, totaling 104 tons of mercury across the U.S. annually. Energy Star calculates that each CFL bulb generates 70 percent less mercury pollution than a comparable incandescent bulb.
But at present, only a handful of bulb makers offer truly superior products with high efficiency, longevity and mercury content of 1 to 2.7 mg -- about a quarter to a half of the Energy Star mercury cap.
The Obama Administration should award the Energy Star logo far more selectively, as a carrot to speed research and development on the next generation of CFLs and other alternatives to incandescent bulbs that, according to DOE, convert 90 percent of the energy they consume to heat.

CALGARY - Police investigators are in Mexico as part of an ongoing investigation into the disappearance of a five-year-old boy and his grandparents.
The bodies of Nathan O'Brien and Alvin and Kathy Liknes have not been recovered since the three disappeared from the couple's Calgary home June 29, but police have laid three murder charges.
The couple had been having an estate sale that weekend as they downsized ahead of a move to Edmonton and then to a residence in Mexico. Nathan was at his grandparents' house for a sleepover.
A police spokeswoman confirmed Tuesday that officers are in Mexico.
"It's just making sure that all the avenues are covered. There's nothing to it other than just crossing t's and dotting the i's," said Calgary police spokeswoman Emma Poole. "We're not going to get into details of how long they've been down there, where they are or how many went."
Douglas Garland, 54, is facing two charges of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree murder.
Garland was initially considered a person of interest in the case and was held on an identity theft charge unrelated to the disappearance of the trio.
Garland had lived for several years in Vancouver using the identity of a dead person. Police alleged he was using that identity again when they brought him in for questioning in the missing persons case.
That charge has now been stayed by the Crown.
Police spent weeks searching Garland's rural residence near Airdrie, Alta., as well as the surrounding fields, bodies of water and properties.
He is scheduled to return to court next week on the murder charges.

About three weeks after I chopped all of my hair I had a new lacefront wig. It was not because I hated my short hair, it was because I was going to Denver and thought it would be fun to have "Kim Kardashian" hair. Then when I returned I needed long(er) bone straight with bangs, affectionally and pragmatically named, "post-Denver" hair.
The truth of the matter is that I just love playing dress up. I believe whole-heartedly in the words of Kate Spade when she said, "Playing dress up begins at age 5 and never really ends." I love waking up and deciding what look I'm going to master. I guess that's why I love hair and make-up shoes and clothes. I love the theatrical nature to it.
I think about my mom, she said "why did you chop all your hair off just to cover it up?" But I guess I do not see it that way. I see it as me expressing myself as I feel in that moment. Its fun! Sometimes I feel girly and prim, other times I feel like jeans and an oversized hoodie with boots and aviators. You just never know. I do laugh because often people don't know what to do with me or how to take me because I change my hair so much. However, I don't even worry about it. I can't worry about it. I don't change, just the wrapping paper.
I'll likely never forget Zachary's reaction to my big chop. That he could really see me now. Quite honestly, since the chop whether I've worn wigs or my fro I've felt the same freedom and ease. I feel lighter. Even though I had a knotty stomach when it came to money last week, in general I have remained at peace. At peace and in laughter. Happy.

The One Ring Messageboard
Whitering wrote:Were the Ainur kind enough to allow Arwen and Aragorn to be reunited in the afterlife?
MithLuin wrote: (...) I agree that there were not thousands of Balrogs. But I have great difficulty resolving his comment that there were only 3-7 with his stories. Gothmog, lord of Balrogs, had to be slain by Ecthelion in the Fall of Gondolin. Another Balrog had to fall with Glorfindel. And then there was the one Gandalf killed. So, there's the three. Fine. But what are we to make of comments about 'most' of the balrogs being killed during the War of Wrath? The point is that some of the ideas that are recorded in essays are perfectly valid, but were not always taken up in the stories.
'Wherefore each embassy came with greater force than was agreed, but Morgoth sent the greater, and they were Balrogs. Maidros was ambushed...' Of The Siege of Angband '... but Morgoth sent the more, and there were Balrogs.' Of The Return of the Noldor

siddharth wrote:I have one question in my mind. A discussion is already on about this in one of the other threads but I think it is more appropriate to post it here.
So, why did it take Gandalf so long to understand that Bilbo had the One Ring? He knew Bilbo had a great Ring, since it conferred invisibility. From Saruman, at the White Council he had learnt that the three, the seven and the nine were studded with a gem each, but the One Ring was not. So, imo he should have suspected the Ring long before and should have started to investigate earlier.
And another thing. I agree that Gollum got the Ring by killing and Bilbo got it by mercy. But does that mean it is necessary that the Ring would have opposite effects on the two? Bilbo was unchanged and "preserved" after he got the Ring while Gollum became old, and withered.

Acording to Tolkien in UT (p.264), "the courage and hardihood required [by Boromir's journey] is not fully recognized in the narrative."
As to finding Rivendell, one would have to assume that Boromir eventually made contact with one of Elrond's household or someone else who was "in on the secret." This I don't think would have been one of the Dunedain, since apparently Boromir was unaware of their existence until the Council.
`And who are you, and what have you to do with Minas Tirith?' asked Boromir, looking in wonder at the lean face of the Ranger and his weather-stained cloak.
Voronwe_the_Faithful wrote:It seems rather obvious from Boromir's reaction to Aragorn, when he produces the shards of Narsil.`And who are you, and what have you to do with Minas Tirith?' asked Boromir, looking in wonder at the lean face of the Ranger and his weather-stained cloak.
Had Boromir been directed to Imladris by other Rangers, surely he would have recognized Aragorn as one of their members, if not their leader.
It does make me smile when PJ says Boromir was about to start his 5 day journey to Rivendell.
solicitr wrote:It does make me smile when PJ says Boromir was about to start his 5 day journey to Rivendell.
And it makes me groan when PJ has Denethor say "Elrond of Rivendell has called a council." One of the real weaknesses in the movies- an aspect of what Tolkien called "flattening" in his Zimmerman critique- is the fact that everybody knows way too bloody much.
If you look over the plot of the LR, especially the time-schemes, it should be clear that the story could not have unfolded the way it did but for everyone (Sauron especially) being in the dark about most of what was going on beyond their own immediate surroundings.

Of course the geography and climate of Middle Earth is closest to Europe and perhaps if it was possible to have filmed things in Europe he may have understood the scale a lot clearer.

Recap: Quakes survive rally, missed PK to top Dallas 2-1
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The San Jose Earthquakes made sure FC Dallas' road renaissance was short-lived.
Dallas came to California riding off their first road victory of the season, but San Jose used first-half goals from Marvin Chávez and Alan Gordon to put an end to that streak with a 2-1 victory on Wednesday at Buck Shaw Stadium.
The Quakes survived a 94th-minute penalty-kick miss from defender Jair Benítez, who pushed his attempt just high and over the crossbar with a road point begging to be taken.
Even without a goal from Golden Boot leader Chris Wondolowski – who put the ball in the back of the net on his own PK, only to see it called back – the Quakes (13-4-4) widened their advantage in the Supporters' Shield race and extended their Buck Shaw unbeaten streak to 11 matches.
Dallas (4-10-7) fell to 1-8-1 on the road this year, despite the debut of new Designated Player Julian de Guzman in midfield.
That was thanks mostly to clinical finishing from Chávez and Gordon, who turned San Jose's only pair of shots on goal before intermission into back-breaking scores, and an inability by Dallas' attack to punch any number of dangerous chances past the Quakes' defense until Hernán Pertúz's flying header in the 89th minute.
Chávez exacted revenge on the team that traded him in the past offseason with a wicked 12th-minute strike from the edge of the box. He hammered a skidding cross-field pass from Shea Salinas into the far corner for his first Earthquakes goal.
Gordon doubled the advantage in the 45th minute, capping a play that began with a bad pass and turnover by Benítez in his own third. The Quakes took advantage by working the ball to Sam Cronin, who looped a 35-yard pass to the far post, where a barely marked Gordon looped a header back the other way.
San Jose seemed poised to put the game well out of reach when Brek Shea was called for a handball in the 60th minute for blocking Víctor Bernárdez's near-post pass off a corner. Wondolowski stepped up to the spot and ripped a shot past Hartman for what seemed to be his league-leading 18th goal this year.
However, referee Kevin Stott caught Justin Morrow encroaching into the penalty box too early, and Hartman knocked away Wondolowski's drive on the retake.
FCD had the Quakes on their heels for nearly the whole first half, starting with their first corner barely 10 seconds in, but a combination of critical stops by Jon Busch and other San Jose players and wayward finishing from the visitors allowed San Jose to enter the break with a comfortable advantage.
OPTA Chalkboard: FC Dallas fail to make chances pay
Nevertheless, the visitors opened the second half in similar fashion, building pressure from the outset.
Shea put a long range chip just inches wide of the goal, while Rafael Baca was called upon to make a second goal line clearance as San Jose struggled to maintain their two-goal advantage.
Pertúz finally broke San Jose's scoreless streak when he cashed in Jackson's great cross, but it seemed like so much window dressing until Quakes substitute Simon Dawkins bundled over Loyd with a hip check in second-half stoppage time.
With Shea – two-for-two from the spot this season – having been subbed off, Benítez stepped up to the spot. But he pushed his shot just high of the crossbar, allowing San Jose to escape with a full three points.
San Jose are on the road this coming weekend, traveling north to Vancouver on Sunday, while FC Dallas return home to host Portland on Saturday.

DiS was really curious how the duet between Liam Frost and Martha Wainwright came about, what with her being on our label and all. So in his own words, Liam explains how it happened...
When DiS asked me to write about how Martha ended up singing on the song 'Your Hand In Mine' from my new album, I wanted to talk about how I imagine all of my favourite duets were made. Like Marvin Gaye and Tammi Tyrell, or Ike and Tina Turner, most would envisage two amazing voices around one microphone in a vocal booth, and a startling amount of chemistry, right? In reality, we still haven't met. There is one amazing voice; that much is true. But there's also one fairly ill fitting Mancunian brogue with a propensity for the odd bum note or two…
I was sat in the basement of an apartment block on Christopher Street, Manhattan, home to the studio of producer and all-round good guy Victor Van Vugt. The inhabitants of the building were still reeling from the news that their caretaker had gone missing after he'd stabbed his wife in the heat of a drunken argument. We were a little concerned that he might return and wreak havoc, to say the least. Victor wasn't exactly in his good books, having brought in a young female cat from the street, thereby laughing in the face of the building's no pets rule. She hadn't been spayed and was now on heat and definitely looking for action. With the cat grinding up against my leg and concerns for mine and Victor's safety, I set about trying to come up with a few ideas as to who could sing the other part of this duet.
At this point, I was still making the album for Columbia Records, and I was given a list of potential female singers from the Columbia roster that could perhaps fit the bill. I'd also tried to sound out a few people from Manchester that I like and figured could do the job. None of these really worked out. Now, for this album, Columbia had put me through the mill with a few co-writers, to try and find a so far elusive hit single that would help them sell a bucket-load of albums. Nothing really came of a lot of them, as I wasn't really all that concerned with writing some massive, dumb smash just to try and con people into listening to the other songs on my record. However, I had set up a couple of sessions with fellow songwriter Ed Harcourt through my publisher with the idea of just having some fun and seeing what came of it. We wrote a number of things that I really liked, and two songs made the record; one of which was 'Your Hand In Mine'.
When Victor suggested that he ask Martha, whom I believe has been a friend of his for 10 years or more now, I emailed Ed to get his thoughts on the idea. It turned out that he and Martha were really close as well. Everything seemed a little bit too good to be true, having been a long time fan of Martha's voice and songs. But sure enough Victor and Ed both got in touch with her, and she mailed back asking to hear the tracks.
So Victor and I took an afternoon out of the studio to go and meet Martha, who was playing on the Late Show with David Letterman that night a bit further up town. With a CDR of rough mixes in our sweaty mitts, we stood outside the backstage entrance to the studios. Various members of the NBA's Boston Celtics side were ushered past the waiting paparazzi and a small group of fans that had gathered. We had to wait a little while, as Martha's sound check had gone over and she still had to go to make up. After a short while, Letterman's security staff had started to get a little antsy with us being around, and it looked like we were about to be moved along when a member Martha's management team came out to talk to us. She said Martha didn't have time to come out and say hello, but to give her the CD, and they'd "get back to us…" At this point Victor joked with me about feeling a little perturbed, having known Martha for such a long time. We both understood how these things work and headed back to the studio. On the other hand, I figured that it might not end up coming together, and was starting to think of other people that could potentially do it. She seemed really busy. I was also fully aware of the fact that having Martha Wainwright sing on one of my songs would help me much more than it would help her, and was under no illusions that it'd be easy making the entire thing come to fruition.
Anyway, a week or so passed, and Martha got back to us. She's was in California, and had been listening to the album, loved what she'd heard so far and wanted to come sing on the song. I couldn't believe it, how ace! We started to make plans for her to come in and put the vocal down.
As it panned out, Martha ended up going in to record after I had left New York. But in some ways, that made the entire thing seem all the more magical. Victor was starting to send through mixes of the finished track, and hearing that voice harmonizing with mine was a little bit too hard to believe, having still not met her. But there it was…something that I never thought would happen at any point in my career. I'm awful glad it did though. Hope you enjoy it folks.

What is the first thing comes to your mind when you see AOMEI? (Closed)
My first exposure to Aomei was OneKey Recovery. I was looking for a system recovery tool to replace the tools integrated with Windows and different tools provided by different OEMs - to standardize computer builds with one recovery system regardless of computer manufacturer or OS. OKR was the only tool I found that did that - and with a built in F11 boot option. I think of Aomei as a relatively young company focused on recovery tools. But support isn't as responsive as businesses need. And the licensing/pricing by product is more complex than needed and not identical across products.
When I see Aomei Backupper is also in the photo! More Aomei on computers.
Good would also be backups secsays say when done an already power immediately is done the same backup in another unit. You have finished backup on the Hitachi drive and started on another drive like a Seagate.
The first thing that comes to mind is a company that provides a good product for a reasonable price. I have only used Backupper Pro since January and the only real problem I've run into was in creating a bootable recovery disk. Support did help me with this early on and since then I've had no problems either doing a backup or in testing a restore.
That being said, I still find the documentation woefully outdated and incomplete when compared to other backup programs that are available. I don't know if language differences enter into this problem or if something else is involved.
I've been able to receive help using this forum from other users with other small issues I've run into but not much from the forum admins. This again may be a language issue. I've also tried to help on the forum with my limited knowledge of this product and feel this venue is a great way for all users to assist each other.
Although there seem to be a lot of forum posts, I think the number is acutally smaller than with other backup or security products. If you look at Norton or Malwarebytes, their forums seem to be deluged with product problems every day. So in general I would think AOMEI products are running fairly well for most users.
I used Norton Ghost for many years and I find AOMEI's Backupper Pro to be a good follow on product to use for that discontinued program. Product updates and improvements are always appreciated and I will continue using AOMEI fully expecting things will only get better.
a real good backup and recovery software with a lot of potential for future developments
The first thing for me would probably be to think of a company that does not seem to get very much exposure or recognition on popular forums. When AOMEI does get a mention it is considered competent, but it also never seems to be the recommended or 'obvious' choice.
Having used AOMEI Backupper briefly a couple of years ago, and now more actively I can not understand this. My only real complaint with Backupper would be the small window size it uses for its interface and also some less than perfect grammer and sentence contruction in the various message boxes. The fact you acknowledge this does actually earn your company more respect, as does the way you engage with your user base.
AOMEI is competently cute. The programs work well but have odd, yet predictable flaws.
AOMIE obviously uses translators whose primary language is NOT English. The company would take a huge leap forward simply by hiring a well-trained English editor to rework all of the semi-translated presentations into refined English.
A competent English editor would be able to catch the flaws that Flyer mentioned (documentation woefully outdated and incomplete).
Secondly, as Mooly mentioned, the window sizes are woefully small. Like they're designed by a little old man with a really small computer screen. The secondary windows in Backupper are ridiculously small. You can't see all of checkboxes. And this has gone on FOR YEARS. My guess would be that the designers are using a screen resolution that is standard for their locale but not for the rest of the world.
Several years ago I used AOMIE free Backupper. My computer was hacked and I had to take it to a repair shop. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they endorsed AOMIE Backupper. BTW: The repair shop got my computer running again but installed a retro Windows start screen. I used my system copy from Backupper to restore my computer back to exactly the way it was before it went down.
Right now, AOMEI has a great market opportunity if they use it. I recently purchased Partition Assistant. However, the standards have changed from BIOS to UEFI. Backing up a Windows 10 system is not nearly as straightforward as it was back in the days of XP. Back then I used a program called Partition Commander by Avanquest. Copying the XP system partition and restoring it though BIOS was the way to go.
Today, after I finish writing this, I will be purchasing OneKey Recovery. I would have purchased it a couple of days ago but AOMEI had not updated their website to indicate that OneKey Recovery will backup Windows 10. And THAT'S the opportunity: flawlessly backing up Windows 10.
I have replaced Backupper free with Cobian Backup. But that doesn't cover the system backup. Any company that offers an easy and foolproof way to backup Windows 10 should do well if they market it correctly.
For those of us who were raised with BIOS, the new UEFI standard has made system backup a little more challenging. I have only half tested OneKey Recovery (the free version will not store a system backup to an external drive). But from what I've seen so far, OneKey Recovery has a great sales potential.
I used AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard for over six months, and eventually switched to PRO.
Best partition product I ever used. I have come to rely on it, especially for handling the new GPT format and UEFI BIOS's. It is not just the great features it includes that impress me. After reviewing all the features, and reading the documentation, I get a good feeling about the people who are writing this software, as in they really seem to know what they are doing. That gives me good confidence in whatever task is required. I don't worry if it's going to damage the drive or data.
I made a recommendation for AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard on Amazon.com today. There's a new Mushkin 1TB drive that is real state-of-the-art and at and absolutely unbelivable price, but it doesn't come with any cloning software. I posted online that I much perfer using AOMEI Partition Manager than any of the software that comes with any of the drives.
My first thought when I see Aomei is that it no longer works correctly. It served me well for years but now maybe due to Win 10 it no longer works like it used to.
i never heard before, but now it´s a real stable and working solution for our backups.
dont stop to develop and do more and more improvements into this nice piece of software
I like the product. Would be nice to include typical drivers on the PE's like IRST, usb3 and some of the nvme drivers. Right now I have to "add" them to the PE everytime I update the PE.
Very good product, still some glitches but so has competition. Simple, clear and easy to use, and no bloatware.
Dear AOMEI Users!
Thank you for your comments about "The first thing comes to your mind when you see AOMEI". Some of you have already left a message about which product you'd like to have as the reward, but some have not.
So if you have not yet left a message about which product you'd like to have, please leave another message about it.
For those who have already left the message about gift, we'll send you the license and download link of the product to the Email of your forum account.
Best Regards!
i am interested in one of the licenses of course. because i already own the backupper, i ´d like to get one for the partition version.
On the content of your online "help" pages. An example would be on creating a bootable disk. Your documentation still makes it seem like you are stuck in Windows 7 dealing with AIK instead of ADK which is used in Win 10. Also notes about using NAS as your destination drive. Emphasizing it should be using a static IP address would elimate many problems I see on the forum about NAS not finding backup. I had that problem and it seems many others do to. I could list many more if you would like.
(I still haven't received free license yet. I would like to use it for a Christmas gift. Thank you)
@fchateau, Hi there, thank you for your support and recommendation for AOMEI Partition Assistant on Amazon.com. As you have already purchased Partition Assistant Professional, I guess you'd like to have AOMEI Backupper Professional as your gift. Please leave another comment to let us make sure. Thank you again!
I would be happy with a license from Aomei Backupper PRO. Ah! Thanks also to the Twitter user @lordsnow1234, because his tutorials are one of the best in my opinion.
I was glad the employees liked it! Backupper really is a salvation!
The offer of free software has come as a very pleasant (and unexpected surprise). Lets see... Backupper Professional please. I would certainly get the most use from that.
@collieman, Hey there, thanks for your feedback. Can you give us more details about Win10 issue so we can modify it in our future version? Thank you! And also, please leave another comment about what software would you like to have as your gift so we can send you the license.
@webaccounts, thanks for your feedback. AOMEI Backupper 4.0.6 has already supported creating bootable media based on Win10 PE which contains many typical drives like usb 3.0, NVME drivers, etc. Please leave another comment about which software you'd like to have as your gift so we can send you the license by Email.

The idea that someone can tell you something about yourself or somehow predict your future just by looking at the movements of the stars is ridiculous. But the idea that I could do that is an interesting one, and it's an idea I happened to have several weeks ago after I saw a full moon and then correctly predicted the attacks of September 11th. If that's not enough to convince you, find your horoscope below (listed in the traditional order) and see for yourself if it comes true…
Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19):
You are a person who thinks of others. Not always, just sometimes. Nobody can think about other people all the time, so in a way we're not so different, you and I. In your job, if you have one, there will be some type of transaction in the near future.
Taurus (Apr 20-May 20):
You often stand out among others as a person whose sign is Taurus. You eat food on a fairly regular basis, but often in different locations, as you tend to move about during the day. Beware of holidays—you never know what could happen. Yes, that's true all the time, I'm just saying don't forget about holidays. Continue reading

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) _ A leading environmental group is endorsing Democratic U.S. Rep. Michaud in what seems to already be a three-person governor's race in Maine.
The Sierra Club announced their support for Michaud at a news conference Monday.
The group had already said there's one candidate who's been stricken from their list: Gov. Paul LePage. That left either Michaud or independent candidate Eliot Cutler.
Spokesman Glen Brand says the environmental group is devoting all of its resources to replacing LePage with ``a pro-environment governor.''
The race is shaping up much more quickly than four years ago, when there were a dozen major party candidates vying to run. This time, the field was set more than a year before the election.
