The California pistachio harvest is complete for 2011, but Setton Pistachio in Terra Bella, Calif., continues to hum, processing and packaging the crop at a plant powered in large part by the same sun that nurtured the crop in the orchards.
Setton's managers are hoping the solar power system it unveiled this summer will add some California pistachio-like green to the operation's bottom line. And they hope this step toward going green will have a payoff for energy credits earned.
"We view this as an investment we are making by lowering our carbon footprint," said Lee Cohen, general manager at Setton, the nation's second largest pistachio processor.
The solar system is expected to save the company an estimated $14 million in energy costs over the next 25 years, and it could offset 1,880 metric tons of carbon emissions annually.
The system includes 7,600 modules — each weighing 44 pounds — at plants in Terra Bella and 8 miles west in Pixley, Calif. Capable of generating 1.7 megawatts of power, it's the largest private system of its kind in the Central Valley, a place where solar systems for agricultural operations abound. Solar panels cover 7.5 acres.
Outside the Terra Bella plant, Cohen gave a tour of the installation, which includes carports on which modules are mounted, as well as ground level modules in a fenced area.
Cohen said employees welcomed the covered parking: "It's great to be able to get into your car and not have to deal with a hot steering wheel that burns your fingers and not to have to crank up the air conditioning."
The carports are expected to cut emissions that would otherwise result after vehicles sit under the searing San Joaquin Valley sun and drivers rush to fire up air conditioners.
The solar panels are covered with dust from the pistachio harvest and the transport of nuts into the processing plant. They're no longer the dark blue they were in mid-July when the system was unveiled.
However, Cohen said the dust has not impaired performance of the system, something he can track on a display panel just inside the entrance to the plant. The panel is on a wall beside a rack holding Setton pistachios for display.
And it's expected a rain or two will take much of the grime off the panels. There are also plans to possibly put micro sprinklers among the panels for periodic cleaning. Moreover, the provider of the system — as part of its contract — will do periodic "touch-free" cleaning of the modules.
Payback period
The solar power system designed by Cenergy Power of Merced will produce more than 2.6 million kilowatt hours of clean energy each year that will be used to sort, roast and package an estimated 80 million pounds of pistachios annually at Setton.
Cohen said the company had considered turning to solar for years, but the payback period previously took too long.
"Then the price for solar panels dropped," he said, and that and other developments meant a greatly reduced payback likelihood — now pegged at just under four years for a system that cost $6 million paid up front by Setton compared to previous expectations of payback in seven to 10 years.
The federal government will pick up $1.8 million of that in the form of a cash grant. And net metering of excess power into Southern California Edison's grid should wipe out another $1.8 million of the cost.
Cohen said the sales to Edison are resulting from the California Solar Initiative that requires power companies to buy power at 22 cents per kilowatt for the first five years of the system's operation.
In other steps to greener operation, Setton recycles the water it uses in pistachio processing and uses it to irrigate orchards. It also turns all of its hull waste from nut processing into cattle feed, keeping 300 million pounds of waste out of Central Valley landfills each year.
"They seem to be on the leading edge of things," said Tim Peltzer, president of Peltzer Farm Management in Porterville, which farms 600 acres of pistachios from northern Kern County to Lindsay. The company markets its own pistachios through Setton and farms 60 acres for them.
Setton owns and farms thousands of acres of pistachios, in addition to marketing for independent growers.
Peltzer, who was among growers attending the unveiling of the solar project in mid-July, said he's "happy that Setton is here. I think they might be the check for Paramount. A little competition is a good thing."
Paramount Farming is far and away the No. 1 pistachio processor.
Investing in California
Porterville Mayor Ron Irish, who also attended the unveiling of the project, said Setton's actions are important at a time when businesses are being lured away from California.
"You don't invest that amount of money and leave," he said, noting that the plant employs a number of Porterville residents at a range of wages. "In the environment we have in the state of California, it's an understatement to say that what they did in terms of contributing to growth and independence is important."
Installing a solar power project helps processors "to pass on savings and provide more value to their growers," said, Nader Yarpezeshkan, director of sales and marketing for Cenergy, which has offices in San Diego and Merced.
In addition to the Setton installation, Cenergy has done many commercial agricultural projects in the Central Valley, as well as some "solar farming" industrial projects for utility companies.
Yarpezeshkan said 90 percent of Cenergy's solar projects on the commercial side are agricultural, ranging from solar for pumping to cooling and to processing agricultural products.
"It's a hedge on inflating energy costs," he said. For a pistachio processor, for example, use of solar energy is a way to enable it to play "a global game" and be more sustainable in that world market.
Yarpezeshkan said the installation at Setton is the equivalent of planting 400 acres of pine forest annually.
He said it's no surprise that agricultural users are turning to companies like his. He pointed to statistics from the California Energy Commission in 2009 that said that pumping water, refrigeration, processing and other farm-related uses amounted to 75 percent of all electricity consumed in the Central Valley.
Jeff Gibbons, grower relations manager for Setton, said pistachio processors that have turned to solar include the nation's four largest, all in California: Paramount, Setton, Nichols and Primex.
Gibbons said the installation at Setton was "seamless" and is a major boost for reduced energy cost. "And it produces energy right here, taking pressure off the grid," he said. "It produces power where the need is."
Gibbons said the weather was favorable this year for pistachio production in California, which leads the nation at about 98.5 percent of the crop. He said, for example, there was not the problem of spiking temperatures soaring above 100 degrees during much of the harvest.
Richard Matoian, executive director of American Pistachio Growers (formerly Western Pistachio Growers), said sizes were larger this year and a cool spring contributed to that. He added that insect damage was low and quality appears good.
Last year was marked by a record crop of 528 million pounds, and this year the total is expected to be a bit over 450 million pounds. Pistachios are an alternate bearing crop.
Grower field prices for last year's crop, while variable, set records at around $2.50 per pound. This year, prices are in the $2.10 range.
For the first time, Matoian said, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has made a significant purchase of the nut, 6 million pounds for its nutrition programs. Exports remain strong at about 63 percent of the crop.
Food safety priority
Two years ago, Setton found itself at the center of a food safety scare that shook the pistachio industry, mounting a voluntary recall of nuts it processed at the Terra Bella plant after concern over salmonella contamination. No illnesses were linked to the reported contamination.
Matoian gives Setton high marks for its response to the food safety concerns. "They shut down the plant for several weeks, did extensive cleaning and testing and held town hall meetings with the industry and growers," he said.
Matoian said Setton and others in the industry took steps to avoid contamination. "They (Sutton) are on the leading edge of technology to be sure it doesn't happen again," he said.
Radio frequency identification is used throughout the processing steps at Setton, Cohen said, for traceability "from orchards to bags to trucks to containers to machines."
A system of pressurized air — "positive air flow" — is used to keep any contaminants from raw nuts from traveling to those ready to eat.
"Food safety is an instrumental part of what we do," Cohen said, "and we're always looking at new technology and methodology."
The pistachio operation is part of Setton International Foods Inc., based in Commack, N.Y. Setton International is a full service provider of nuts, dried fruit, edible seed, chocolate and candy to the snack food industry.
The company had its beginnings in Brooklyn, N.Y., with brothers Joshua and Morris Setton.
In 1986, Setton Pistachio was formed in California. In 1995 expansion for Setton Pistachio came with the acquisition in Terra Bella of what had been Dole Pistachios.

Greeley City Council gives John Elway green light to expand car dealership
John Elway has led a lot of comebacks in his life, but maybe none quite like the one he engineered before the Greeley City Council.
After more than an hour debate on Tuesday, council members made a rare move and voted unanimously against planning commission and city staff recommendations on a rezoning issue involving one of the NFL's most well-known quarterbacks.
Elway, vice president of operations and general manager of the Denver Broncos, attended the council's regular meeting to explain why he believes a zoning change is appropriate near his auto dealership at the intersection of 35th Avenue and 25th Street.
The 8.3-acre property he wants to purchase to expand the John Elway Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram dealership at 2501 35th Ave. is currently zoned for multifamily housing.
The planning commission said no in a July 22 meeting after staff recommended against it — mostly because of a shortage of multifamily housing in Greeley and shortage of land zoned for that purpose.
Brad Mueller, community development director for the city, said the area has not changed significantly and has been developed under its original intent in the last 15 years, reasons that would not warrant a rezoning.
"The amount of multifamily housing in Greeley is already limited," Mueller said. "That would take more of that away."
However, members of the City Council said the rezoning does conform with the city's comprehensive plan and said staff need to be more flexible when looking at economic impacts to the city.
"Our comprehensive plan is a living document," said Councilwoman Sandi Elder. "It has to change. It is always going to change with a change to our city demographics, population, oil and gas, it all affects our comprehensive plan. I very rarely go against our planning commission, but I'm disheartened that they were not all there for the process. This application does support our priority, which is 'Greeley open for business.'"
Elder was referring to the planning commission meeting in which three of the seven members were absent.
The expanded dealership will employ 25 more people with an annual income of $60,000-$85,000 per year.
"This is in my ward," said John Gates. "That is the most unsightly plot of land I've seen in some time. It looks like it did five years ago. I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for build out, and I will usually side with pro business. How could we not encourage a successful business to continue to grow and thrive and bring 25 more jobs — and good paying jobs — to this community."
Elway started off his testimony with a bit of fun exchange with Mayor Tom Norton.
"I'm sorry to hear about your knees," Elway said. "I've had to have mine done, too, but they turned out OK. I hope your's get better."
He said Greeley has always had a special place in his heart since he was here for training camp with the Broncos in the 1980s and '90s.
"I am proud of doing business in Greeley and proud to be part of Greeley," Elway said. "When I was with the Broncos I wouldn't have rather been any other place. The support we had while we were here was tremendous."
Several people spoke in opposition to the plan, including a 5 percent owner of the town homes nearby the proposed development.
Bill Purcell said in order to break even on the town homes, he must build another 154 units. The rezoning will reduce the number that can be built to 64. However, the majority owner of the town homes wants to move forward with the rezoning.
Jeff Engelman, owner of Gateway Self Storage, also opposed the rezoning because he said his business will be entirely enveloped by car dealerships and he doesn't believe that is good for the area.
"It doesn't reflect good planning," he said by phone on Wednesday. "But I can understand why the council did what they did. Town homes have a hard time getting completed, and I agree with Gates, it is an eyesore, and I'm tired of tumbleweeds blowing in. But it's not a good mix."
City Manager Roy Otto said Tuesday's council meeting was a lesson learned for his staff.
"I want us to be online with our council," he said. "If I went forward with the budget and it was changed 100 degrees, I'd question why. My hope is that staff can do a good job of translating to the council what their thoughts are. Staff knows there is a need for housing, that's true. But the council has an economic growth priority as well, and maybe we should err on the side of that."

1998 Toyota Tacoma - Moving GreenPosted in Project Vehicles on October 1, 2008
Evolution is real and we can prove it! Ok, maybe not the part about the walking fish, but take out your old photo albums and place a picture of your rig when you first bought it at one end of the table and then lay out your photos in chronological order for each year you modified it. As you view the progress leading up to the current configuration as it sits in your garage today, chances are two things come to mind-where did all that money go, and wow, talk about change!
It's with this concept that Pepe Palomo took this once left-behind project truck and finished what the original owner never got to realize. It's hard to imagine this mammoth Toy was once a two-wheel-drive street cruiser resting on airbags and running through suburbia, terrorizing grocery-store parking lots, and dragging frame anytime someone would look its way. These days the only metal dragging is the massive 1-ton axles sliding over the rocks in Johnson Valley as it crawls its way through some of the toughest trails found in the Southwest. With the Tacoma resting high atop 42-inch TSLs, Pepe set out to build a rig that was fun for him and comfortable for the family. That explains the custom bed seating and cage that let his little ones enjoy all the outdoor fun. Though it's hard to ever call a rig finished, we think this bright green monster will be filling up his family photo album just the way it sits for many years to come.

When Los Angeles-based designer Timothy Corrigan bought his French château in 2004, he knew two things from the get-go: First, a complete restoration was in order. Second, the home would be a gathering spot for a wide variety of celebrations with friends and family, not a museum setting that lacked personality. In his new book, An Invitation to Château du Grand-Lucé, Timothy captures an array of dining situations, from casual outdoor luncheons and Christmas cocktails to notable formal dinners in the dining room.
"There is something extra-special about a formal dinner because there is an elevated level of attention, not only from the host but from the guests as well," says Timothy. "Conversations are at their best, and guests make the effort to dress elegantly."
Backed by stately original 18th-century paneling, a Louis XVI sideboard, and a gilded English mirror, Timothy's dining table shines, subtly establishing a regal ambience. Atop white linen placemats embroidered with pomegranates, the designer placed selections from his inventory of luxurious tableware, including green Limoges dinner plates with gold embellishments, lion's-head soup bowls, and cut-crystal stemware. Votive candles—randomly placed throughout the centerpiece of greenery, oranges, pomegranates, and silver Jordan almonds—provide elegant light.
"When people travel to France, they visit châteaux with a 'Don't Touch' policy," says Timothy. "I want my guests to experience my entire property and really live there."

Green, Gold & Glass
Limoges porcelain dinner plates edged with green and gold bands mix with "Bernadotte" crystal stemware from Villeroy & Boch. Embroidered with pomegranates, linens designed for Timothy Corrigan Home represent good fortune.
Ultimate Organizer
In England, seating charts are popularly used by hosts to assist with the placement of guests around a table. Timothy prepares for dinner parties in the same manner, assigning his guests to specific spots on a walnut chart—the gift of a grateful visiting diner.
Beautiful Bounty
Greenery, pomegranates, oranges, artichokes, and silver almonds fashion a centerpiece that nods to the abundance that guests have in their lives. "Being grateful shouldn't be reserved only for Thanksgiving time," Timothy says.
Who, What, Where
As an elegant remembrance of the dinner party, ivory placecards are graced by a refined architectural drawing of the château's grand presence. Below the drawing, each card is handsomely printed with a dinner guest's name.
Wine Notes
A Bordeaux blend, typically a combination of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, is characterized by dark fruit and berry flavors and a firm structure. This complex wine makes an admirable companion to rich braised short ribs.

Variations in two genes may increase the likelihood that a person will report suicidal thoughts after taking an antidepressant, researchers reported yesterday. The finding could help doctors develop tests to predict which patients will do well on such medications and which will react badly.
The authors of the study, which was released to reporters yesterday and will appear in The American Journal of Psychiatry on Monday, said that the findings were preliminary and would need to be verified by further testing.
The study focused on reactions to only one drug, Celexa from Forest Laboratories, and found no link between the gene variations and dangerous behavior like suicide attempts.
This distinction is critical, because doctors do not know whether people who report thoughts of ending their lives are at increased risk to act on them. The one patient in the study who attempted suicide consistently denied having any suicidal thoughts.
The findings come at a time when psychiatrists, regulators and some former patients are locked in a furious debate about the risks of antidepressant drugs, which include products like Prozac from Eli Lilly and Zoloft from Pfizer. In recent years, health regulators have required that drug makers post strong warnings on antidepressant labels, saying that some young patients may be at increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior.Continue reading the main story
Some psychiatrists say the warnings have scared off patients who would benefit from the drugs — based largely on reports of suicidal thinking, which may not increase the risk of suicide itself.
"What I would say is that this study is a wake-up call, that we may have the opportunity to use genomic tests to guide personalized care for depression," said Dr. Thomas Insel, director of the National Institute of Mental Health, which helped finance the study.
But Dr. Insel added that the genetic test "is not yet ready for prime time."
The researchers used data from a large government-financed depression study that included more than 4,000 adult patients. They found that about 6 percent of these patients reported having thoughts of suicide after taking the drug, usually within the first few weeks of starting treatment.
They then analyzed blood samples from 120 of those who reported the suicidal thoughts, looking to see whether variations in certain genes were especially common in them.
The scientists found that 36 percent of the patients who had markers for two gene variations reported suicidal thoughts — a more than 10-fold risk compared with those with neither of the gene markers.
These patients were also far less likely to recover taking the drug. Both markers were in genes that affect how the brain processes a chemical messenger called glutamate, which works to activate neurons.
If genetic tests are developed, "they could add to the whole clinical picture," said Dr. Francis McMahon, chief of the genetics and mood disorders unit of the National Institute of Mental Health and the senior author of the study.
"If a patient tells me he thinks his life is not worth living, or I know he's at risk of having that reaction, I'm going to monitor him more closely or treat him differently," Dr. McMahon said.
The researchers searched for links to 68 genes in the patients' blood samples that might influence mood states, but these are clearly not the only genes that could be involved in the emergence of suicidal thoughts.
Many of the patients who reported a sudden urge to end their lives did not have either of the gene variations found to put people at high risk.Continue reading the main story

DETROIT, Michigan (CNN) -- Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick offered an abject apology to his constituents Wednesday, but remained adamant that he would not resign following a newspaper report that he exchanged romantic text messages with his chief of staff.
Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick reportedly sent romantic texts to his chief of staff, contradicting earlier testimony.
The report contradicted testimony the pair gave in a whistle-blower trial.
"I truly apologize to each and every one of you, individually and to the whole city," Kilpatrick said in a sometimes emotional televised statement.
Sitting next to his wife, Carlita, he also apologized to "my entire family, and specifically to the four people I love most in this world" -- his wife and his sons, 12-year-old twins Jelani and Jalil and 6-year-old Jonas.
The Detroit Free Press reported last week that in an analysis of nearly 14,000 text messages on the city-issued pager of Christine Beatty, Kilpatrick's former chief of staff, it found some from 2002 and 2003 that indicated the two were having a romantic affair. Watch a report about the messages »
Allegations of an affair arose during the whistle-blower trial over the summer, which involved two officers suing Kilpatrick and the city. The officers alleged Kilpatrick had retaliated against them for their roles in an internal investigation involving possible misconduct in Kilpatrick's security unit, according to court documents.
In testimony last August, Kilpatrick and Beatty both denied having a romantic relationship.
On Friday, the Wayne County prosecutor said that her office would investigate, but that any decision on whether Kilpatrick or Beatty will face charges would not be based on the newspaper article.
Beatty resigned as Kilpatrick's chief of staff on Monday.
"Over the past few days, there has been some speculation about who is in charge of the city," Kilpatrick said. "Make no mistake about it: Since 2002, I have been in charge of the city. There have been ups and downs. There have been hills and mountains and valleys, but through it all, I remain in charge of the city."
On speculation regarding a possible resignation, the mayor said, "Let me be clear: I would never quit on you. Ever. We've got a lot of work to do, and with your help, I'm going to continue to lead this city in getting the work done."
Kilpatrick was frank about the pain the allegations have caused his family. "I'm responsible for that," he said.
"For the first time in my life, I had to have a conversation with my 12-year-old twin sons about very grown-up things. It was, without a doubt, the hardest conversation that I've ever had in my entire life."
Regarding his wife, he said, "Our marriage has not been perfect, but it has been great. Now I've put her in a situation which many couples deal with in the privacy of their own homes. But in our case, it's on the front page of the newspaper."
Carlita Kilpatrick also spoke. "Yes, I am angry. Yes, I am hurt and I am disappointed, but there is no question that I love my husband," she said. The couple has been working "through some very painful issues" with help from their pastor and others, she said.
"Our family has endured the most painful and intrusive week of our lives," she said. "Our most intimate issues have been laid out for all to see. ... However, this private matter is between me, my husband and God. We are deeply committed to working through these issues together as a family."
The mayor and his wife urged Detroit residents -- and the media -- to allow them privacy and space.
"If you have to attack someone, attack me," Kilpatrick said. "I would ask that you don't follow my wife, you don't film my kids going to school. I ask you not to have helicopters flying around our home. I ask that you leave them alone. I am the mayor. I made the mistake. I am accountable."
He said he could not discuss specifics of the situation because of pending "legal issues."
Kilpatrick said he knew residents have been waiting to hear from him, but last weekend, for the first time since he took office six years ago, "I just put everything aside and focused on my family."
He said he told his sons that when you make a mistake, "you learn from it. You get up, you dust yourself off and you keep moving forward," adding that he hopes the city will keep moving forward.
"God bless you, Detroit," he said. "I love you, and I'll see you at work tomorrow." E-mail to a friend

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (January 19, 2006) — The Royals defeat the Coker Cobras despite their two recent back-to-back losses to cross-town rivals Pfeiffer University (82-97) and Barton College (71-81) who is currently ranked third in the region. Queens improves their record to 4-3 in CVAC play, 10-4 overall, and is currently ranked 9th in the NCAA Division II East Region. Coker leaves the match 1-6 in CVAC play and 2-11 overall.
Despite their previous losses, the match between the Queens University of Charlotte men's basketball team and the Coker College Cobras opened with a reminder of
The Royals began the bout against the Cobras in the Oven on fire as junior Chris Jones scored the first two points of the game which he followed with a steal and an assist to junior guard Shamoni Faulkner. The quick start had the Royals believing that their two-game losing streak was over. But the Cobras lashed back at the Royals with a defensive effort that refused to allow the Royals to further penetrate the paint. The Royals were forced to settle for poor outside shots that led to key possessions that Coker converted into points.
Conversely, the Cobras sought out the 3 and did not hesitate to launch from anywhere beyond the arc. Coker ended the half 4-9 from 3-point land. Not only did the Cobras knock down threes they were also able to dominate the offensive boards creating additional opportunities.
With three minutes remaining in the half, the Royals responded with a surge that began with a dunk by Chris Jones, followed by 2 more points by Esau Eatman in the lane, and capped off by a 3-pointer from Timon Farley. The Cobras answered with 2 points, but Eatman would end the half with a deuce that put the Royals within 2 points (28-30).
A key 3-point shot by senior guard Timon Farley put the Royals up by five with remaining in the game. Posts Esau Eatman and guard Chris Jones continued to penetrate the lane opening up three-point opportunities for Farley for the remainder of the game.
The Royals beat the Cobras 70-57. The victory was sealed by a dunk by Chris Jones on a fast-break. Timon Farley led
The Cobras were led by Johnny Jackson (12 points, 4 rebounds), Ryan Fulwood (11 points) and Michael Pierce (13 points, 5 rebounds).
The Royals will be in action again on

Nearly half a century ago, Frank W. Abagnale Jr. became one of the world's most skilled impostors, using charm and false paperwork to weasel his way into prestigious careers.
Starting Tuesday at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, attendees at the musical "Catch Me If You Can" will get to perform a similar feat — albeit one that probably won't land them in trouble with the FBI.
For one hour before the start of the show, which portrays Abagnale's exploits, audience members will receive a "passport" pointing them to three stations based on careers that he faked his way into. At one, they can pose for a photo as a pilot; at the others, they can take a law test and pretend to save a patient's life by putting felt organs in place.
The "Catch Me If You Can" activities are the latest project by the center's Audience Engagement Group, a committee of Segerstrom employees that formed last year to provide an interactive element to Broadway shows. In recent months, the group has tackled "War Horse," "Billy Elliot" and others in hopes of making the lobby as entertaining as the show onstage.
"It was really to make sure people have the best possible experience they can have when they come to experience the center," said Todd Bentjen, the center's vice president of marketing and communications. "We want a person's experience here to be more than just the time they spend in their seat watching the performance."
The group, which numbers about a dozen, arose from a joint retreat of the marketing, development and education departments. The center already offers preview talks for dance and chamber music shows, but the staff wanted to try something more ambitious for the Broadway series, Bentjen said.
With "War Horse," which features a mechanical horse manned by three puppeteers, the center offered diagrams of the horse's body and an actor in World War I costume talking about the period. The "Billy Elliot" pre-show featured ballet students demonstrating moves, while "Stomp" allowed visitors to play percussion instruments.
For "Flashdance," the committee gave patrons a chance to pose as Jennifer Beals in an iconic image from the 1983 film version, where the actress leans her head back under a shower of water onstage. In the Segerstrom lobby, silver streamers doubled as the water.
Bob Bucci, the executive vice president of the marketing division for Broadway Across America, which presents Segerstrom's Broadway series, said the center's project is part of a greater movement among theaters to create multimedia experiences. He noted that in at least one case — the "War Horse" diagrams — a concept birthed at Segerstrom has caught on elsewhere.
"We're sharing that idea throughout multiple cities," Bucci said. "In fact, that same sort of display is in our Canadian cities right now. Segerstrom did it very well because what it ended up doing is giving that little bit of background to the magic of the puppetry they're about to see."
After "Catch Me," the Audience Engagement Group will focus on the musical "Sister Act," for which Bentjen said ideas are already in the works. Any hints in advance? The vice president demurred.
"We're not ready to confess what those are yet," he said.

St. Ignatius Rancher Pleads Guilty To Damaging Wetland On Flathead Reservation Brent Powell
The United States Attorney's Office announced that St. Ignatius area rancher, Brent Powell, 54, pled guilty today in federal court in Missoula to violating the federal Clean Water Act by damaging a wetland on the Flathead Indian Reservation. Powell faces a possible 1 year in prison and a $25,000 per day fine.
In an Offer of Proof, the prosecutor told the Court that Powell operates B.P. Cattle Company on property that includes a wetland complex bordering Sabine Creek and Mission Creek in Lake County, Montana, which are waters of the United States. These wetlands also lie within the Flathead Indian Reservation.
Through investigative interviews and a check of tribal records, the Environmental Protection Agency Criminal Investigation Division (EPA-CID) established that in 2004, Powell failed to submit a Tribal Application for the Alteration of Aquatic Land or Wetland on the Flathead reservation, known as an 87A (ALCO), before he performed work in wetlands along Pistol Creek. As a result of the 2004 Clean Water Act 404 violations, the United States Army Corps of Engineers issued Powell a cease and desist order for the activities on Pistol Creek and Powell was required to remediate the area.
Undeterred, in 2010, Powell again dredged several channels on his property in an effort to drain the wetlands and extend his agricultural land along the Sabine and Mission Creeks. The dredged material was cast off beside the channels and remained within the wetland area. As a result of the work, heavy sediment was observed in the manmade channels, and cloudy water was observed flowing into Sabine Creek from manmade channels.
EPA-CID conducted interviews and reviewed documents that show Powell again failed to submit a Tribal Application for the Alteration of Aquatic Land or Wetland on the Flathead reservation, before he performed work along Sabine Creek.
In March 2010, the United States Army Corp of Engineers, EPA-CID, and Flathead tribal environmental specialists participated in an on-site inspection of the disturbed wetland area; they described the disturbance of wetland and riparian vegetation as very extensive. The disturbance of the wetland area includes approximately seven different areas in which soil was dredged from the wetland area and side-casted along the trenches into waters of the United States.
U.S. Attorney Mike Cotter lauded the work of EPA-CID, the Army Corps of Engineers and the environmental specialists of the Flathead Tribe, "The cooperative effort by federal and Tribal environmental enforcement agencies in this case resulted in a criminal violation of environmental laws being successfully prosecuted. This kind of prosecution sends the strong message that we will aggressively protect the waters and wetlands of Montana that all of us enjoy and upon which a healthy environment depends."

BLACKBURN Rovers were unable to pull off an FA Cup upset as they were beaten 5-0 at Manchester City in tonight's third-round replay.
Rovers held City for much of the first half but fell behind on the stroke of half-time.
Undeservedly in front, Manuel Pellegrini's men used their fire power to full advantage after the restart as Alvaro Negredo scored his second before Edin Dzeko, with a brace of his own, and the fit-again Sergio Aguero got in on the act.
Rovers were without injured top-scorer Jordan Rhodes (foot) and captain Scott Dann (groin) while goalkeeper Paul Robinson was forced off at half-time.
Negredo put City ahead in the 45th minute as he headed in a cross from Fernandinho.
The Spaniard then doubled his team's advantage two minutes after the break when he lifted the ball over substitute keeper Simon Eastwood.
Dzeko swept in an unstoppable effort to make it 3-0 in the 67th minute and Aguero needed only a minute to add a fourth after coming on as a substitute on his return from injury.
Dzeko completed the scoring 11 minutes from time with a delicate finish from another Jesus Navas cross.
Rovers boss Gary Bowyer handed a late debut to 16-year-old substitute Connor Mahoney, a recent arrival from Accrington Stanley.
Bowyer said: "It was 5-0 and it will be 5-0 in the papers so it's not harsh because I think the finishing was clinical from them and you have to admire that.
"But I was nothing but proud of our players for how they came out and had a good go.
"A lot has been said and written about the mentality of our football club over the last couple of years but they played with their back up and they showed desire to keep going.
"We had a 16-year-old come on and make his debut, we had a 19-year-old at right-back and several 22-year-olds so the future's starting to look a little bit better for us but we've got a lot of work to do in the Championship for the remainder of the season."
Bowyer confirmed former England number one Robinson has sustained a hamstring injury which will be assessed in the morning.
Rovers hope Rhodes and Dann will return for Saturday's crucial Championship clash at Nottingham Forest.
City manager Pellegrini, whose quadruple-chasing side have now scored an incredible 99 goals in all competitions this season, said: "I'm really happy but I really think the difference between the two teams was not five goals.
"It was a really strong team, Blackburn played very well, we didn't find space.
"It was very important for us to score that goal in the last minute.
"The second half we had space and we had a lot of opportunities to score.
"But congratulations to Blackburn because it was a very difficult team."

Indiana Masters in Science Education On-Campus Programs
If you are ready to expand your skills as a top science teacher, there are a variety of Science Education Masters on-campus programs to choose from. Some are designed for the current educator, while others may help students that have an undergraduate degree make a transition into teaching science. Rather than just teaching a subject, a professional science educator should have a mastery of their content discipline and be able to bring it to life with their students in the best way they can. If you are ready to explore teaching and research methods, broaden your knowledge of the physical, natural or STEM sciences, and strengthen you ability to instruct and lead a classroom, earning a masters degree in Science Education may be a great fit.
Science Education Masters Programs: Overview
Planning to apply to a Science Education Masters Program? Admissions requirements may vary widely. Graduate programs in Science Education or Teaching science typically require an undergraduate degree from an accredited institution; admissions tests, such as the GRE; or current teacher certification. Each grad school establishes its own standards and admission process, just as each state determines its requirements for teacher credentialing or licensing.
Know as well that you may have thesis and non-thesis options; for some the masters is a stepping stone to a PhD in Science education, but others may opt for a program with coursework only. Most graduate programs do require a capstone project. Make sure to request information from the prospective college or university to get details and guidance.
DID YOU KNOW? Some chemistry Professors combine teaching and research.[i]
Potential Benefits to an on-campus Science Education Masters Program
Looking for a Graduate School? Studying on a college or university campus provides a social learning experience, with time to interact with classmates and your professors. Many Masters in Science Education programs actually involve some field-experience or 'teacher training' so even in an online program, there may be some scheduled visits to the campus.
If you do opt for a campus program, you will have access to all the college facilities and onsite resources. Think libraries, laboratories, career counseling. You can also look ahead; if you aspire to teach at the postsecondary level, it is common for "teachers to gain teaching experience by working as graduate teaching assistants—students who are enrolled in a graduate program and teach classes in the institution in which they are enrolled".[ii]
FUN FACT: The job outlook for Postsecondary Chemistry teachers is positive: a 15% growth in employment is projected from 2014-2024[iii]
Inspired to search for a Graduate School with a Teaching Science program?
GradSchools.com has some helpful tools to make your search process easy. If you have a specific area in mind, use the location settings. This will yield results for Science Education Masters programs by city, state or country. Let's take a look at a few potential listings to get you going: Stem Education for Certified Teachers, M.S. , MS in Physical Science, MA Science, Science teaching Specialist Concentration, M.Ed in Science Education.
Which Masters in Teaching Science Degree Fits?
Master of Education, Master of Arts or Master of Science programs are available in science education and they are all a little different. How? Here's a mini breakdown of what you might expect from your degree.
Master of Arts in Teaching in Science Education
Interested in the path that might qualify you as a certified educator but you haven't taken teacher preparation classes?
he Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree, sometimes known as the Masters in Teaching (MIT), prepares college graduates, career-changers and other learners with liberal arts backgrounds to become licensed classroom teachers. Sometimes this degree is offered in a graduate school as a fifth year program. This means, after completing your undergraduate work, you spend an additional year earning a master's degree while satisfying requirements for a state teaching license
Masters in Education (M.Ed.) in Science Education
Do you have a background in education? Are you hoping to boost a current career, update your pedagogical skills, broaden the scope of your teaching repertoire?
The Masters in Education (M.Ed.) was designed for students such as yourself. Masters of Education degrees are considered professional degrees, rather than academic degrees, and often in the same subject or discipline as your bachelor's degree. These programs may vary in length of time to complete, though usually between one and two years.
Masters of Science in Education Degree (MS.Ed.)
Do you want to add on to your theoretical background or explore more science subject matter coursework than the M.E.? Do you intend to teach at a community college?
The M.S. degree may be a good choice for science educators who want a professional degree with intensive preparation in science subject matter, but aren't planning to pursue a PhD right away. (You do need a PhD to teach science at a university[iv])

While working on an app, I had an activity that downloaded an image from the Internet and displayed it to the user (amongst other things). Because all of the data presented to the user is downloaded from the Internet, it's mandatory for me to save this data in
onSaveInstanceState() and restore it in
At first, I had a problem. I was downloading the image to a
Drawable, using
Drawable.createFromStream(). Now, because a
Drawable is dependent on its
Context, it can't be serialized or parceled.
The solution was to use a
Bitmap instead, which thankfully implements
Parcelable. Downloading a
Bitmap is easy:
URL url = new URL("http://www.example.com/pic.jpg");
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(url.openStream());
Then saving it in the instance state is even easier:
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
outState.putParcelable("bitmap", bitmap);
if (savedInstanceState != null) bitmap = (Bitmap) savedInstanceState.getParcelable("bitmap");
And there you have it, simple as pie.

Latos draws the start for Reds against Marlins
Despite winning a fourth straight start last time out, Cincinnati starter Mat Latos wasn't too pleased with his effort on the mound.
Latos gets a chance to extend his personal winning streak on Thursday night in the finale of a three-game series as the Reds aim for their first road sweep of the Miami Marlins.
Latos had good reason to be upset as he allowed seven runs -- six earned -- on nine hits and three walks over six innings of a 13-7 win over Milwaukee on Saturday. He did help himself out by going 2-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored, but it was of little consolation.
"I gave up six runs today, actually seven," said Latos. "I could care less how many hits I had."
Latos opened the season by not factoring into the outcome of his first four starts and has won each of his past eight regular-season decisions, having not lost since Aug. 24.
The 25-year-old right-hander has a 3.04 earned run average this season and faced the Marlins on April 19. He did not get a decision despite striking out 10 batters over seven innings of one-run ball. That left Latos winless in his career versus Miami at 0-3 with a 6.10 ERA in six meetings.
The Reds took three of four in that series with the Marlins at home and have won the first two contests of this meeting, giving them a chance at their first three-game sweep in Florida since May 31-June 2, 2004.
Young right-hander Jose Fernandez aims to extend his first career winning streak on Thursday night for the Marlins in an attempt to salvage the finale.
Fernandez is coming off consecutive wins over Philadelphia and the Los Angeles Dodgers, picking up the first two victories of his career. He shut out the Phillies for seven innings and yielded just one hit on May 4 before besting the Dodgers last Friday. The 20-year-old scattered three runs over six innings while fanning seven in his seventh career start.
Fernandez is 2-2 with a 3.65 ERA on the season and that includes a loss to the Reds on April 18. He was touched for a season-high five runs with six hits and three walks in four innings.
Run support could be a problem for Fernandez as the Marlins were shut out for the seventh time this season in Wednesday's 4-0 loss. Shin-Soo Choo paced the Reds' offense with four hits and a pair of solo homers, while Mike Leake danced around baserunners to throw 6 2/3 scoreless frames.
Leake fanned six and scattered nine hits with one walk for the Reds, who have won a season-high five straight games as well as nine of their past 11.
"This ballpark is big," Choo said. "Some balls fly, some don't. I'm not thinking about hitting homers. I'm just swinging hard."
Derek Dietrich, Rob Brantly and Greg Dobbs collected two hits apiece for the Marlins, who finished 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position and stranded 12 men on base in dropping their fourth straight contest and seventh in the last eight.
"We got guys on base, but you've got to keep grinding," Dietrich said. "We just didn't get the hit when we needed to."
Alex Sanabia was tagged for all four runs on nine hits and three walks over six innings to absorb his fifth straight loss.

Robert Samuelson has an excellent column about the MSM's failure to report on the impact of the Senate's immigration reform bill on legal immigration.
One job of journalism is to inform the public what our political leaders are doing. In this case, we failed. The Senate bill's sponsors didn't publicize its full impact on legal immigration, and we didn't fill the void. It's safe to say that few Americans know what the bill would do because no one has told them. Indeed, I suspect that many senators who voted for the legislation don't have a clue as to the potential overall increase in immigration.
Actually, the Washington Times did a great job on this front, and bloggers spread the word. Still Samuelson's assessment is correct, since I assume that his "we" doesn't include the Washington Times and bloggers. It is certain, in any case, that few Americans know what the Senate's bill will mean when it comes to legal immigration
Which is one reason why House Republicans should have little fear in defeating that bill. Once they tell their constituents what it contains, there's little reason to believe they will face a backlash — more likely they will benefit politically. For example, Samuelson notes that a recent poll showed that 40 percent of the public favors a decrease in legal immigration, 37 would hold it steady, and 17 percent wanted an increase. "There seems to be scant support for a doubling," which would likely be the outcome under the Senate bill.

It seems its already been vaguely mentioned here and there, but despite all that happened in this episode, what I think is standing out the most is a slight yet notable change in art style and/or increasing quality (if thats even possible). I cant quite put my finger on it but it feels like a general change. Could be that I really only read episodes as they are released nowadays and so my judgement may not be trustworthy due to continuity issues. Anyway whatever this is (if it is anything at all, that is) its feels pretty damn refreshing and somehow giving me a great feeling...and I´d rather not realize it may be just wishful thinking/bullshit on my part
Yeah thanks for verifying my hunch there, guys. Oh and great podcast episode, I see I have a few to catch up on, only listened to the first two when they were released then I forgot about it for some reason, lol this site is so big, thanks for reminding me
What will we get for the new ep? ... 2 buck we get to see the island by the end of the episode!
While I don't think we will switch over to Falconia at this precise moment, I do think a perspective change is due at some point in the near future.
I have a feeling we'll be switching perspectives to Falconia in the next episode. With the way episode 331 ended, with the Moonlight Boy (presumably) zipping back to Falconia, it just feels right to me.
It's no proof that it won't happen, but generally Miura has a break between perspective switches.
I kind of hope it switches back to Falconia. I'm really curious about what's going on there right now.
According to YA's page, the upcoming episode will be another 24-pager.
Hi, this is my first post so it might come out a bit off!
After reading the chapter
I started to reread volume 8 (because it was the only volume I took to uni with me) and I noticed that page 19 in episode 331 is reminiscent of page 49 in volume 8. What I was wondering though is if anyone else thinks that it's a nod to the choice Guts is about to make? I thought that it could suggest something bad resulting because of Guts' decision... I don't really know how to word it, but because the scene in volume 8 was with Casca discussing how she felt Griffith was "somehow out of reach" (dark horse translations) and the picture of Griffith is smaller than the more recent one in episode 331,
I might be reading too much into but I thought the style of the pages just looked similar and was wondering if anyone else noticed it?
I meant Guts' facial expressions with Griffith as Guts' focal point.
Ah, now I see what you meant. Write fewer words next time
I was always under the impression that the word "episode" was traditionally used for tv shows and "chapter" for pretty much all kinds of literature. ... So anyway, whats the difference? Is there a difference or does episode just sound cooler? (Im not english, sorry, was thinking about further studies though, that's why I'm interested)
There is a proper categorization system to the series that goes beyond merely the volume numbers. It's a part of the title of each and every episode. It's divided by story arcs, and major events. Miura created it himself, and he's stuck to it every single episode since 1992, so he must think it's pretty important. But since you seem convinced I'm trying to pull one over on you, I'll undertake extra effort to explain the point:See the portion I've outlined in red? It goes like this: 第307話 · 千年帝国の鷹篇/ファルコニアの章/ファルコニア ... Which translates to Episode #307 -- Millennium Falcon Arc / Chapter of Falconia / Falconia.Now let me show you why: The 307 is preceded with 第 which means "number" and then designated with a 話 which translates to "counter for stories, episodes of TV series, etc." And Falconia is designated with a 章 which translates to "chapter". I'll repeat: 話 does not equal 章. These are two distinct words, with distinct meanings. One is episode, one is chapter. The reason they are kept separate is because they refer to categorizations of the story. Arc / Chapter / Episode. It's a system that spans multiple volumes. If you want a full breakdown of where the arcs and chapters are, check here: http://skullknight.net/manga/

SK2890 : Damflask Reservoir - March 2012 (7)
taken 7 years ago, near to Dungworth, Sheffield, Great Britain
Damflask Reservoir
This is the largest and newest of the reservoirs in the Loxley River catchment area. It opened in 1897 for the Sheffield Corporation Waterworks; due to leakage problems it had been over 20 years in construction.
Unlike the higher reservoirs, Damflask was never intended for public water supply, instead being a compensation reservoir used to regulate water flow in the river for the benefit of the many industrial sites dependent on water power along the River Loxley. The two curving outlets at the foot of the dam are where the supply issues, controlled from the two pyramidal valve houses on the dam wall.
The dam itself is approximately 400 metres wide at the top, with a maximum height of 28 metres, and the reservoir has a capacity of nearly 5 million cubic metres of water. It now provides for sailing and fishing, and there is an easy-access circuit around the shore.
The name of the reservoir derives from the hamlet of Damflask. This was destroyed in the great flood of 1864 when the Dale Dyke Dam collapsed, and was never rebuilt because of the plans for the new Damflask Reservoir.

Review: Finding Neema
Reading "Finding Neema" is almost like living a life vicariously. Juliet Reynolds, the author of this memoir, has years still to go and some bit of writing still to do.books Updated: Aug 23, 2013 11:41 IST
Book: Finding Neema
Author: Juliet Reynolds
Publisher: Hachette India
Pages: 340; Price: Rs. 399
Reading "Finding Neema" is almost like living a life vicariously. Juliet Reynolds, the author of this memoir, has years still to go and some bit of writing still to do. Through the book, though, this filmmaker and art curator offers readers a candid and self-reflexive account of her marriage, her work and, most of all, her child.
Yes, her child. She is legally only the guardian of Neema, the autistic child of a Nepali mother, but it is clear that she derives much of her own sense of self in relation to him. In finding Neema, thus, it is almost like Reynolds finds herself.
The memoir is a linear narrative, beginning with Reynolds' acquaintance with the man who would be her husband, the one who would ultimately make her think of India as her own. Anil Karanjai is the not-so-widely-renowned painter of what is known as the Hungryalist school that took roots in the early 1960s in West Bengal, to shake off, once and for all, the colonial yoke in poetry and art. Reynolds would showcase Karanjai's works and find solace in his arms.
Karanjai appears, in this memoir, as a man only too willing to go with the flow, spontaneous in his expression and deeply perceptive, able to communicate with ease across cultures and continents. Not a man conventionally trained or educated and with little care for wealth. Precarious living seems to come naturally to him. And after his sudden death, Reynolds wonders if she knew all she should have about his visits to the doctor. Could he deliberately have left a condition untreated? Given the character portrayed in the narrative, that might well have been the case.
The couple remains financially insecure as Reynolds gives up a teaching position to explore other avenues and Karanjai's paintings bring them only an unsteady income. The portraits he paints are sometimes commissioned, but the flow of money is not regular.
So where does Neema fit in, one might ask.
Neema is the child of one of the people who serve in the Karanjai-Reynolds household. The couple has a steady stream of people hired for domestic labour and it is interesting what a range of experience these helps come with. Among the reasons Reynolds offers for continuing to live in India is the relative ease with which she could outsource some of her domestic work, especially with a child like Neema to look after.
The narrative about the domestic arrangements and the people who become part of the household take up quite a chunk of the book. The cross-nation mobility of domestic workers and the sorry tales of family instability are revealing.
There are also frequent references to friends, and an endearing portrait of Reynolds' mother, whose relationship with Neema is both deeply affectionate and unconsciously pedagogical, aiding him in developing motor skills by buying him simple toys.
Neema is the one bond between all the people who visit or work in the house. He is also the centre of much of Reynolds' striving and it is with some pride that she closes her book as she reflects upon Neema as a young man, taking young ones suffering, like him, with autism, under his wings.
This is a straightforward memoir and it does not pretend to be high literature. It is a tale simply told of a life in which many unforeseen things are accepted with grace. There is love, and anger; there is goodness, and kindness - ordinary, yet rare.

New Jersey Drivers Line Up For Gas
New Jersey drivers are lining up at gas stations all around the state in search of a fill up following Hurricane Sandy.
The lines are reminiscent of gas shortages in the 70s as motorists are line up for miles at service areas along the New Jersey Turnpike & Garden State Parkways as many local station find themselves without power to run the pumps.
Not every Turnpike and Parkway service area is able to offer gas. A project at the Parkway's Cheesequake service area has made fuel temporarily unavailable . The Grover Cleveland Service Area on the northbound Turnpike between exit 11 and 12 in Woodbridge is flooded out while the Vaux Hall Service on the northbound Parkway in Irvington is offering only rest rooms and water because of power issues.

Arsenal end trophy drought with FA Cup win
Arsenal ended its nine-year trophy drought on Saturday, coming from two goals...
St. Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.com) – Andrew Cogliano scored a pair of goals and
Frederik Andersen made 26 saves, as Anaheim rode an early three-goal burst
to dispatch St. Louis, 5-2, at Scottrade Center.
Nick Bonino and Ryan Getzlaf each contributed a score and a helper for the
Ducks, who beat the top two teams in the Central Division on the road
in consecutive games.
"We feel like we're an elite team," Getzlaf said.
Jaden Schwartz and Patrik Berglund tallied for the Blues, who have dropped
three of four.
Jaroslav Halak was pulled after giving up three goals on eight shots in 7 1/2
minutes of action. Brian Elliott finished the contest with 13 stops.
"I need to look at myself and everybody else needs to probably find the
answers," Halak said.
St. Louis mounted a charge in the third period, cutting its deficit in half.
Schwartz put the hosts on the board when he followed Oshie and tapped home his
cross-crease feed from the left post at 1:18. and Berglund picked up a puck
off a broken play in the middle of the Anaheim zone and scored on the forehand
with 6:38 elapsed.
That was all for the Blues, who pulled Elliott with over two minutes left and
saw Cogliano cap the victory on a score with 1:48 to play.
Cogliano opened the scoring just 70 seconds after the opening faceoff when his
attempted centering feed for Saku Koivu at the right post skittered in.
Perry doubled the visitors' edge on a power play with 5:36 elapsed by tipping
in a Getzlaf shot and Getzlaf himself made it 3-0 with his strike at 7:29 on a
brilliant individual effort. He batted down a cross-ice pass from David Backes
at center ice, skated in and scored with a drive from the right wing.
Bonino extended the Ducks' lead to 4-0 on the lone goal of the second period,
coming at the 17:16 mark. Andersen made sure the lead held with eight saves.
Game Notes
Anaheim has won two of its last three games in St. Louis, and posted its first
regulation win in the Gateway City since a 4-3 decision on Dec. 28, 2008 …
Cogliano posted his first multi-goal effort since recording a hat trick in a
5-4 road loss against the Coyotes on Mar. 2.
