The White Rocks formation is a mass of granite exposed to the surface at the eastern edge of the Cedar Mountain Wilderness area in Utah. This wilderness area (not to be confused with the Cedar Mountain Recreation area in the San Rafael Swell) is located south of interstate 80 on the western side of Skull Valley. Few roads approach the wilderness area and motorized traffic is prohibited within it. However, the 8 mile gravel access road to White Rocks will take you to the edge and the sight of the old lichen covered granite is worth the trip. Be aware that this road can become impassable during and after wet weather, rain or snow.
Utah is a state located in the westcentral region of the United States of America. Utah is the 13th largest state by area, ranks 34th by population and 10th by population density of the 50 United States. Utah was the 45th state to be admitted into the Union, on January 4, 1896. Utah is landlocked, being bordered by the states of Idaho to the north, Wyoming to the northeast, Nevada on the west, Colorado on the east and Arizona to the south. Utah is very mountainous and is a popular outing destination of the outdoorsman. The state population is about 2.82M with 95% being Caucasian, 2.4% Asian, 1.7% Native American and 1.3% Black. The state capital and largest city is Salt Lake City.Source: wikipedia

Solar Powered Plane on Final Leg of Flight to NYC
A solar-powered aircraft has lifted off from a suburban Washington airport, embarking on the final leg of a history-making cross-country flight.
The Solar Impulse flew out of Dulles International Airport a little before 5 a.m. Saturday en route to New York City. The flight plan for the revolutionary plane takes it past the Statue of Liberty before landing at New York's JFK Airport early Sunday.
The aircraft, powered by some 11,000 solar cells, soars to 30,000 feet while poking along at a top speed of 45 mph. The Solar Impulse left San Francisco in early May and has made stopovers in Phoenix, Dallas-Fort Worth, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Dulles.
The cross-country flight is a tune-up for a planned 2015 flight around the globe with an up-graded version of the plane.

Click on image near bottom of page. I recommend turning off the auxiliary windows, and turning on "Plot Wavefront" under "View", "Field Plot."
Note that you can set the velocity of the charge to be greater than 1 => faster than light.
--- The classic textbook illustration of how yanking a charge causes radiation can be nicely simulated by choosing "Setup", "Trajectory", Line", velocity = 0.1, start = -0.05, stop = 0.05.
--- For a dipole radiator, try "Setup", "Trajectory", "Dipole Oscillation", velocity = 0.8, amplitude = 0.02.
--- For Ĉerenkov radiation, try "Setup", "Trajectory", Line", velocity = 1.5, start = -1.0, stop = 1.0. You may want to turn off "Plot Electric Field Lines" for this.

A lawyer for a man accused of killing an off-duty California Highway Patrol officer and his relative in a crash that occurred while the suspect was allegedly stealing the officer's truck said Wednesday there's more to the story than has been told so far.
But attorney Michael Becker said outside court that he's not talking anymore about the case against James Robert Montgomery until he sees evidence police have collected since the Sunday morning crash.
"This case, I think there's more to it than meets the surface,'' Becker said.
Montgomery, 29, from Tustin, Calif., stood shackled in court with a bandage on the right side of his head, and spoke only to acknowledge that he received and understood the eight felony charges against him, including murder, kidnapping, burglary, robbery and auto theft. He was not asked to enter a plea.
MORE: CHP Officer Killed in Vegas Carjacking Was Groom-to-Be
Prosecutor Robert Daskas said police were still investigating the crash that killed veteran CHP Officer Jesus Manuel Magdaleno Jr. and Magdaleno's brother-in-law, Felix Brandon Cruz III.
Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Cynthia Cruz scheduled a status check Aug. 27 and a preliminary hearing Sept. 4.
Montgomery is being held without bail at the Clark County jail, but Becker said he may file a written request for the judge to set bail.
Becker said Montgomery works at a Whole Foods supermarket in Tustin and was a "lawful person'' who was injured and shaken by the incident. The attorney said his client had been in Las Vegas with his girlfriend, and had been staying at another hotel on the Strip. Her children were not with them, Becker said.
Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said the charges against Montgomery could make him eligible for the death penalty, but a decision about that is weeks away.
Police say Magdaleno, 33, and Cruz, 31, both from Visalia, Calif., had been in Las Vegas for Magdaleno's bachelor party, and were loading his pickup with luggage at the Flamingo hotel-casino when Montgomery got into the driver's seat and drove the vehicle from the valet area.
Magdaleno ran after the pickup, shouting that he was a CHP officer, then jumped into the cargo bed with Cruz, according to security video and witness accounts cited by police. The video hasn't been made public.
The pickup sped away from the Strip, mowing down construction cones and speeding through red lights on an Interstate 15 overpass, a woman who viewed the scene from the 17th floor of a nearby hotel told police.
Police said Magdaleno and Cruz were thrown from the bed of the pickup when it collided with an SUV and smashed into a traffic signal pole in front of the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino, about a mile west of the Flamingo.
Magdaleno was an eight-year CHP patrol and training officer. He was to be married in September.
Montgomery told police afterward that he remembered walking around the Flamingo and being in a car crash but couldn't remember anything in between, according to an arrest report.

<Slowclap> Well played, Funcom. Seriously, well played.
Today Funcom announced via The Secret World game launcher that in the completed End of Days, Mayan-zombie-flavored event that due to players exploiting the game's mechanics, instead of only the top 1000 players receiving a unique title and pet, that EVERYONE gets a title and pet. YOU get a pet! And YOU get a pet! And YOU get a pet! THIS is an MMO problem resolved properly.
Unlike say, some other ban-happy game, this is the right thing to do. Very soon after The Secret World went to a buy-to-play model, I picked it up, and the End of Days event was already in full swing. On that day, I saw my first exploiter. They were sitting behind barriers that auto-kill mobs and were simply pulling a ridiculous amount of Mayan zombies to their quick deaths. A similarly ridiculous pile of loot building up at their feet. I saw this time and time again as time passed.
Now, being a level 1 noob (so to speak) compared to these veteran players, I instantly realized that I had NO chance at keeping up with these guys, and so avoided anything having to do with the End of Days event. I did the few introductory missions, but then used the Mayan zombies as a way to simply test my growing powers. I awaited the end of the event gladly, knowing full well I'd get nothing, as these really annoying zombies that always seemed to show up at the worst possible moment (Getting smacked down by three mobs? How about we add a fourth much more powerful Mayan?!) would finally be gone.
And now? Look at this cutie-patooti!
Adorable, right? Maybe in a Lovecraftian nightmare sort of way? Well, call me a proud papa, anyway.
So why is this a great compromise? It's a simple matter of punishing the exploiters and rewarding those who didn't succumb to the exploit. Yes, I know, the exploiters still got their pet. But so did everyone else! There were a LOT of people that spent day after day exploit-farming these Mayans for the chance to earn this special pet. Finally, at the end of the event, Funcom turns around to them and says "You know that special prize? It's not special. Your punishment: your wasted time. Everyone who didn't exploit gets a pat on the back and a thank-you gift." Without banning anyone and incurring negative headlines, they still punished the exploiters and rewarded those that didn't exploit.
You could argue that it wasn't technically an exploit, that they were just smartly using the game's current mechanics, that if Funcom didn't want players to use the auto-kill wards, they would've shut them off. Blah blah blee blah blee blee blah. Shut up. It's an exploit. Period. That's obviously not how Funcom intended to have you slay the Mayan armies, and Funcom agrees.
And afterall, why be so quick to ban players who have shown a willingness to spend money on your game?

It looks like consumers are not preparing to cut up their credit cards just yet, despite a background of economic uncertainty and fears of a double-dip recession. Experts say that means retailers will want to take advantage of this confidence while it lasts with early sales. Interest rates on credit cards fell to below 13% in the second quarter of the year – according to new data released Friday from the Federal Reserve – hitting 12.92% down from 13.48% in the first quarter.
Although the Fed' report showed consumer credit unexpectedly plummeting by $9.5 billion last month – the biggest decline since April 2010 – analysts say that drop is to do more to banks writing off debt than consumers changing their behavior. When that's taken into account, consumer credit actually rose 66% in the second quarter, says Odysseas Papadimitriou, the chief executive of CardHub.com.
This is good news for bargain hunters, experts say. The interest rates on credit cards haven't fallen below 13% since the onset of the Great Recession in 2008. Secondly, banks are showing confidence in consumers and want them to shop. They can go shopping again while this confidence lasts. "Consumers have not learnt their lesson," says Papadimitriou says. "Expect to see that retail sales bonanza earlier rather than later."
Recently released auto sales figures for September were also buoyant. They rose to 13 million in September, up from 12.6 million in August, according to data from the major car companies. "This is further evidence that consumers are not retrenching," says Troy Davig, economist with Barclays Capital Research. "People usually pay for cars with loans. We're seeing lending from banks." Papadimitriou says that means more spending. "Banks are lending and retailers will want to take advantage of this as soon as possible."

Video Learning/Teaching Revolution
November 5, 2013 by Leave a Comment

A Syrian rebel group that the United States has labeled an affiliate of al Qaida in Iraq appeared Thursday to be on the verge of overrunning a government air base that's used to launch helicopter strikes against rebel-held areas in Syria's north.
According to the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and video of the fighting posted on the Internet, the offensive at Taftanaz, an air base near the road that links the Syrian cities of Idlib and Aleppo, was being led by the Nusra Front, which the State Department designated a terrorist organization last month.
Ahrar al Sham, another rebel group that, like Nusra, has called for establishing an Islamic state in Syria, is participating in the offensive, according to its Internet postings.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland offered an upbeat assessment of the rebel advance Thursday, saying that the likely takeover of the base was a sign that the abilities of the "armed opposition" were growing. She added that the capture of the base would help the rebel side by cutting off the Assad regime's ability to resupply its troops in the north.
She didn't acknowledge in her remarks that the assault on the base was spearheaded by Nusra, whose Arabic name is Jabhat al Nusra, and it was unclear whether she knew of the group's role. State Department spokesmen didn't respond to later requests for comment.
Nusra and Ahrar al Sham have proliferated across Syria in recent months, leading rebel advances and eclipsing the role of more moderate rebel groups. In its designation of Nusra as a terrorist organization, the State Department said that the group, which announced its presence a year ago with massive bombings in Damascus, was just another name for al Qaida in Iraq, a radical Sunni Muslim group responsible for the deaths of hundreds of U.S. troops and thousands of Iraqi civilians.
The declaration complicated U.S. support for the rebels, who are organized in a variety of fighting groups, each of which reports to its own commanders with its own political and religious beliefs. Obama administration officials had hoped that the designation would help channel aid to the rebels away from Nusra to more moderate factions. The designation, however, was immediately denounced by Sheikh Mouaz al Khatib, the head of the newly founded Syrian National Coalition for Opposition and Revolutionary Forces, which the United States has said should lead any post-Assad government.
Since then, Nusra influence appears only to have grown, with the group assuming a crucial role in rebel offensives across the country, including the current campaign to erode the government's air power by seizing air bases.
In addition to Taftanaz, Nusra is leading the fighting at al Nayrab military airport in Aleppo, the country's largest city. Islamist fighters also are likely to be playing a key role in the siege of a military airfield in the eastern province of Deir el Zour, where Nusra fighters led assaults that a McClatchy reporter witnessed in November.
Jeff White, a military analyst who studies Syria for the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said rebels had hit at least one aircraft that was attempting to land at the Deir el Zour military airport in recent days and that they were closing on Mengh air base, another of the government's northern bases. Earlier this year, Ahrar al Sham led fighting that partially shut Abu Duhor, another air base in the northern part of the country.
The fighting at Taftanaz underscores the growing influence in the rebel movement of conservative Islamic groups such as Nusra, which has grown in the space of little more than a year from a small clandestine organization that largely carried out bombings into a group that fields battalions of fighters across the country.
A recent report by the Quilliam Foundation in the United Kingdom estimated that Nusra now has about 5,000 fighters. Rebel supporters point out that that's only about 10 percent of the anti-Assad forces, but given the fractured nature of the movement, that number of fighters probably means that Nusra is among its largest fighting organizations.
Rami Abdurrahman, the director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which tracks the violence in Syria, said he thought Nusra made up "30 to 40 percent" of the rebels' effective fighting force. "Some groups work in some areas, and you think they are different groups, and they are actually part of Jabhat al Nusra," said Abdurrahman, whose organization is considered the primary authority on the daily violence in Syria.
"They are getting bigger every day," he added.
Analysts said the fighting prowess of Nusra and Ahrar al Sham was owed in part to the presence in their ranks of Syrians and Iraqis who fought the U.S. military and the Iraqi government during the U.S. occupation of Iraq, which ended in December 2011. In addition to their attacks on air bases, Nusra and Ahrar al Sham are leading the fighting in cities along Syria's main north-south highway. Refugees fleeing violence in Damascus also said Nusra was at the forefront of fighting in that city's Yarmouk district.
The highly visible successes of groups such as Nusra, which say they're funded by individual donors from Syria and Persian Gulf countries such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia, have allowed them to add to their ranks. The fact that they're often at the forefront of the fighting also has allowed them to capture weapons when they overrun military positions. Recent videos have shown the groups effectively using tanks and armored personnel carriers captured from government troops.
The rebels were likely also to have benefited in recent days from a fierce snow and rain storm in the region that's prevented the Syrian government from using aircraft for much of the last four days. Rebels said the government instead had attempted to use surface-to-surface missiles to attack them at the base and to destroy equipment that they might capture.

Instagram, the Facebook owned social photo network, that previously cut off support for Twitter's media-rich card feature has now cut off all support for any all forms of embedded images. Twitter confirmed the change in an update to their original post:
Instagram has disabled photo integration with Twitter. As a result, photos are no longer appearing in Tweets or user photo galleries.
While tweeting links to Instagram photos is still possible, you can no longer view the photos on Twitter, as was previously the case.
The result is that Twitter users will no longer have any idea what they're going to see when they tap or click on an Instagram link.
So for Instagram to win, Twitter users have to lose?

Sean Reidy signs new contract extension
Ulster have secured the services of one of their star performers for another three years after flanker Sean Reidy signed a new contract extension until 2020.
The New Zealand-born back rower has kicked on from his first cap with Ireland over the summer and has started the season strongly, capped with an excellent performance against Munster last weekend where he made 25 tackles, the most by an individual in one game this season.
Reidy, who is Irish qualified through his grandmother, made his international debut for Ireland in their tour of South Africa in June, coming on as a sub in the second Test.
He has since started eight out of Ulster's nine games this campaign, normally at openside but occasionally at number eight, highlighting his importance to Les Kiss' side.
Reidy, 27, joined Ulster from provincial side Counties Manukau in 2014 and then made his debut that November against the Newport-Gwent Dragons.
He had only agreed a new contract extension back in February but, such has been his form, it has led to a further deal being offered and accepted.
"I'm really happy to be sticking around," Reidy said on his deal. "I've enjoyed the past two and a half years a lot and my partner and I really love the place.
"I've been pleased with the amount of minutes I've got under my belt so far this season but I'm going to keep my head down and try to keep developing my game under Les and the rest of the coaches.
"The setup here is really good and I'm looking forward to being part of an exciting journey over the next few years."
Kiss welcomed the news that Reidy was extending his stay in Belfast:
"It's brilliant that Sean has committed to us until 2020; it's another good bit of business by our Operations Director, Bryn Cunningham.
"Sean has worked hard since his arrival at Ulster and his game has developed very well as a result of that. During the summer, I was delighted that his hard work was rewarded with a first international cap.
"His defence and breakdown work has been very impressive in the early stages of the season and that has had a big impact for us. I am really enthusiastic about what Sean can deliver for us over the next few years."

Subject: Electronic Banking
Date: May 28, 2002
To: Chief Executive Officers of All National Banks, Department and Division Heads, All Examining Personnel, and Other Interested Parties
Description: Final Rule
The OCC has issued a final rule governing national banks' ability to conduct business using electronic technologies. The regulation was published in the Federal Register on May 17 and, except for one provision, is effective on June 17. The exception is a provision containing certain disclosure requirements for national banks that have co- branded Web sites or other shared electronic space. That provision takes effect on July 1.
Among the most significant changes, the final rule:
The rule creates a new subpart E to part 7 of the OCC's regulations to house these and other OCC provisions related to the conduct of national bank activities through electronic means.
This rule is the result of a review by the OCC of its regulations with the goal of revising them in ways that would facilitate bank use of technology, consistent with safety and soundness. This review began with the publishing of an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) in the Federal Register on February 2, 2000 (65 Fed. Reg. 4895). The proposed rule, which reflected the comments we received on this ANPR, was published in the Federal Register on July 2, 2001 (66 Fed. Reg. 34855).

We need them in life's early morning,
We need them again at its close;
We feel their warm clasp of true friendship,
We seek them while tasting life's woes.
When we come to this world we are sinful,
The greatest as well as the least.
And the hands that make us pure as angels
Are the beautiful hands of a priest.
At the altar each day we behold them,
And the hands of a king on his throne
Are not equal to them in their greatness
Their dignity stands alone.
For there in the stillness of morning
Ere the sun has emerged from the east,
There God rests between the pure fingers
Of the beautiful hands of a priest.
When we are tempted and wander
To pathways of shame and sin
'Tis the hand of a priest that will absolve us.
Not once but again and again.
And when we are taking life's partner
Other hands may prepare us a feast
But the hands that will bless and unite us,
Are the beautiful hands of a priest.
God bless them and keep them all holy,
For the Host which their fingers caress,
What can a poor sinner do better
But to praise Thee who chose thee to bless
When the death dews on our eyes are falling,
May our courage and strength be increased
To see, raised above us in blessing
The beautiful hands of a priest.

Dayton Opposes Eased Marijuana Laws
ST. PAUL (AP) - With other states moving to relax marijuana laws, Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton remains resistant to allowing possession of the drug for medical or recreational use in his state.
The Democratic governor addressed the issue in a wide-ranging interview Friday with The Associated Press. Eighteen states allow the use of marijuana for medical purposes, and Colorado and Washington have decriminalized possession of small amounts for any purpose.
Proposals to allow medical marijuana in Minnesota have been stuck amid opposition from law enforcement. But advocates plan to push again in the 2013 session. Dayton says he won't budge unless law enforcement signs off on a deal that includes strict controls on how accessible the drug would be.
But, in Dayton's words, "I don't think we need another drug operating in our society."

Twenty years ago, I annoyed one of the biggest wine producers in California by suggesting that Australia's winemakers had become the vinous equivalent of the Japanese motor industry. Good at listening to the market and giving it what it wanted.
Today, if some of the loudest voices in the Australian wine firmament are to be believed, the only Japanese comparison to be made is with Toyota, the company that has had to recall nearly 10m of its vehicles and stands accused of causing well over 30 deaths. Before anyone accuses me of hyperbole here, listen to the speech made earlier this year by Brian Croser, founder of Petaluma to the American Association of Wine Economists. In it he talked of the "highly visible current tragedies" of the "fewer than 10 very large, multi-region operators" who were apparently solely responsible "for Australia's global wine demise and grape and wine surplus…"
Of course, there's no denying that the Australian wine industry is in trouble, especially when compared to the glory days of just a few years ago when its ascendency seemed to be unstoppable. But it hasn't actually injured or killed anyone and no major company has gone bust, so to my mind, terms like "tragedies" and "demise" do seem to be a little over the top.
Let's consider the facts. During the 1980s and 1990s, Australia built an export-driven industry from an almost standing start. Like many another successful business, it invested in increased production facilities. Then, as has happened all too frequently in other industries, rivals raised their game, market conditions toughened and the Australian winemakers lost their competitive edge. This was exacerbated by water shortages which raised production costs and then by a global economic crisis. There's nothing very extraordinary about this story. Last year, Starbucks had to close hundreds of the outlets it had opened over the previous five years; an expanded Christian Lacroix sought protection from bankruptcy and then, of course, there were the US car giants... Examples like this fill the news pages every day.
According the Australia's doom-mongers, Britain is where everything has gone most wrong – where discounting by the big companies has killed the goose that was laying such tasty golden eggs. So how badly are Australia's winemakers doing there? Well, according to Stewart Blunt of Nielsen, over the last year, Australia has lost market share, dropping from 21.2% of the market to 20.4%. It's still the biggest player, but California, South Africa and Italy are all snapping at its heels. And, just as importantly, when you take into account a weakening UK currency and a hike in duty rates, the average price of Australian wine has fallen in real terms. Today, a bottle would set you back £4.51; 12 months ago, it would have been just £0.04 cheaper. France, by comparison has seen the price of its wine climb from £4.64 to £4.97 – which is more or less accounted for by the duty and exchange rates which have had to be absorbed by the Australians.
France's higher prices came at a significant cost, however: a fall to fifth position on the list of UK imports and a drop in market share from 14.1% to 12.3%. South Africa, one of the countries that has stolen customers from Australia is doing brilliantly – largely on the back of one discounted brand – First Cape – and at an average price of just £3.87. Italy is scoring a lot of runs – with own-label Pinot Grigio, and an average price of £4.10. The US, another winner – thanks to sweet rosé gets a few more pence per bottle – at £4.30, but is still under the market average of £4.35.
Australia remains the biggest player in the UK market, and still commands a higher price per bottle than any of its three biggest competitors. Contrast this with the loss of market share of France, the country, many Australian winemakers would seemingly most like to emulate, with its focus on cool climate regions, small producers and regionality.
Australia has to get its house in order, but its problems are far smaller than those of, say, Spain which last year yet again faced the question of how to dispose of nearly a third of its crop.
Which brings me back to Japanese cars. In March, Toyota sales in the US were 40% higher than in 2008 against a market that generally rose by 23%. My unfashionable guess is that, like the motor manufacturer, Australia may be able to call on a lot more consumer trust and affection than it currently likes to imagine.

About Phil Chang
Phil examines the practise of photography
"I have stayed in Los Angeles due to the strength of its art schools, the quality discussion amongst my peers, the space for experimentation and the engaging level of critical discourse around art and photography."
Having lived in Los Angeles for the past 24 years, Phil Chang has received his MFA from The California Institute of the Arts and his BA from the University of California. Chang is heavily influenced by photography, though his practise reaches far beyond the camera, and into the historical, cultural and economic forces that shape photography. In doing so, his work manipulates the depiction of photography through duration, materiality, and photographic processes. Chang's solo exhibitions include Praz-Delavallade (2015), The California Museum of Photography at UCRARTSblock (2015), M+B (2014); LAXART (2012); and Pepin Moore (2012). For Absolut Art, Chang's uses a sponge to manually apply inkjet printer ink onto inkjet paper. He experiments with the different types of inkjet paper, all which create varying results.

Are You REALLY Protected?
At the RSA conference today I spoke with Pedro Bustamante, Senior Research Advisor for Panda Software. He showed me Panda's latest project - a new philosophy for virus and spyware protection. Typically an antivirus or antispyware product installs a driver that tracks all running programs, an engine that scans programs, and a signature database to identify the bad stuff. But then you add heuristics... add behavior anaylsis... add firewall protection - "it's going to explode!". You put more and more software on your system to protect it, and soon there's no CPU or memory left for you.
Panda's new project tries to reverse this trend. Called Nanoscan, it moves everything except a tiny (200K) driver off your computer and "into the cloud". It can use a vast number of signatures, run all kinds of sandboxing and emulation tests, any type of processing that's needed - because it's not using your computer's resources. And it's fast. The Nanoscan beta scanned my laptop in 60 seconds. Pedro apologized for its slowness; apparently 30 seconds is more usual. Must've been the overloaded WiFi connection at RSA.
Nanoscan is just a prototype at present, but it's fully functional. And it has one more little trick. When it scans your system it queries the Security Center as to which (if any) antivirus is installed, and whether it's up to date. That lets Panda gather anonymous information about how many supposedly-protected systems are actually infected. In an initial test, they scanned 42,000 systems with fully up-to-date protection software and found 21% of them had infections despite their protection. Doesn't that make you feel all warm and fuzzy?

Using the sun, a Warwick company has designed and is marketing a system that promises to reduce fuel consumption for the trucking industry while paying for itself in less than two years.
Last week, Jeffrey Flath, president and CEO of eNow, drove his demonstration truck to the NTEA [National Truck Equipment Association] Work Truck Show, which will be held March 6-8 in Indianapolis. And soon after that, he's back on the road to another show in Nashville.
He's spending all this time on the road to lessen the strain on the pocketbooks of those who spend their lives on the road. And, of course, he is also hopeful of marketing the eNow system.
The heart of the system is solar panels mounted on top of the truck trailer. Simply, the panels feed a battery that in turn powers the cab heating and air conditioning, refrigerator, television and other power needs.
That may sound easy, but it's taken innovation to pull it all together.
The panel is the game changer. Unlike conventional solar panels, eNow panels are plastic with an aluminum backing and weigh a fraction of their glass cousins.
Flath says eNow systems are being used by Arpin Van Lines and the Maine Department of Transportation. In Maine, the panels have enabled trucks to shut down, rather than kept idling so as to power flashing caution lights.
But "creature comforts" and savings are Flath's big pitch.
To run all of a truck's "creature comforts," Flath said a truck burns one to 1.5 gallons of diesel fuel an hour. This adds up to about $50 a day at the current cost of diesel fuel. A year's cost he places at $10,000.
The cost of a complete eNow system is $12,000, meaning that when a 30 percent tax credit is blended into the calculation, the system pays for itself in 1.2 years.
But when the truck is on the road, isn't the engine running anyway and the power for all the creature comforts being generated at no extra cost?
Flath suspects not.
While the alternator is generating power, the demand for electricity has the alternator working harder, requiring more of the engine and increased fuel consumption. eNow engineers are now looking at having the system reduce the load on the alternator once the system's battery is fully charged.
What might this mean in fuel savings?
Flath doesn't have a specific number.
"We're still in the process of testing," he said.
A member of the eNow team is Phillip Pierce, who works in product development. Pierce worked for Zenith on the solar power systems for the Lunar Lander, Hubble Space telescope and Mars missions.
"There are no more harsh conditions than those," Flath says to emphasize the durability of the system eNow has developed.
Flath has talked to many of the large truck users, including Pepsi, Staples and Wal-Mart and as he is doing this week, he's done the road shows. So far, he observes, the product hasn't "gone viral."
He believes that can happen. He has a patent pending on the system and has teamed up with installers such as Penske, who he sees as reaching the wider market. Further, the application is not limited to trucks. Flath is also looking at trains.
Flath, who lives in Cowesett with his wife and two sons, used a combination of private equity – mostly from family – and a $1 million loan provided under the Economic Development Corporation job guarantee program to get the company up and running. The EDC loan is the first to have been made since the Studio 38 debacle.
"Can you imagine what we might have if there had been 75 one million dollar loans instead of this?" It's a thought shared by many.
As for eNow, the company is on the road and the future is before them.
Before starting eNow in 2011, Flath was instrumental in the development of the first wholly solar-powered "eco" billboard in New York's Times Square for Ricoh Americas Company.
Prior to eNow, he served as the president of Cooley Group, a global leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance, flexible composites.
Flath attended Albion College, and has completed various executive management programs at Columbia Business School, Kellogg School of Management and the Center for Creative Leadership.
At this point, the company is small with four full-time and six part-time employees. The panels are manufactured out of state, but in this country. The life expectancy of a panel is 22 to 25 years, although Flath said, after about 12 years, there is a noticeable reduction in power output as chemicals in the panel age.
He's planning that eNow will be there when the time comes.

How to Use the Images Drawing 1
Drawing 1
Photo 4 shows a canal family who lived on their boat. The cabins under the deck of the boat were hot and stuffy, so people tended to spend as much time up on deck as possible. The chains attaching the children to the boat allowed for considerable movement, but prevented them from falling into the canal.
Questions for Photo 4
1. Look back at Drawing 2. What do you think it would have been like to grow up on a canal boat? What would have been the good parts? What would have been the bad ones? How would daily life have been different from your life today?
* The image on the screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high resolution version of Photo 4 but be aware that it will take about 30 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

CDR49T needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 620 designs submitted by 165 freelance designers.
We are a funky youth website with attitude!
The site features all sorts of stuff of interest to young teens, including:
-- movie trailers and music videos
-- fan fiction
-- message boards
-- agony aunt
-- celeb gossip
-- quizzes
-- competitions
-- fashion
-- etc
We are NOT a bland "me too" site but a site with personality aiming for a "cult status" amongst teens.
We are looking for a HIGH QUALITY, easily recognizable brand/logo.
I have uploaded a selection of logos that we like, they are accessible from the project brief (Logos.zip)
These aren't exactly right, but they give you an idea of the QUALITY we are looking for and the sort of thing we mean about the ICON.
There will probably be ongoing work for the winning designer if you want it.
11-17 year old male and female (with a female bias)
We are looking for a funky YUXXY.COM logo for a teen website.
Ideally it will include the ".com" extension, but this isn't critical.
Capitalization isn't important.
Color isn't important at this stage as the site is still being designed. A smaller number of colors is probably better and we like bold simple designs rather than intricate, detailed ones.
It would be good if the logo could be adapted for certain themes... e.g. we could change the colors or add Christmas/Easter elements to the design.
IMPORTANT: We'd like to include an "icon" that we can use alongside the logo (or as part of the logo). This will also be used in place of the full logo around the site and elsewhere. When people see the icon, they should remember and associate it with the full logo and the website.
Possible ideas include a simple school badge or crest design with a "y" character. Feel free to be creative with this. The icon should be easy to reproduce, ideally in different colors.
We have attached a logo example (which we LOVE) which shows the example of the icon concept.
Here are some style we like, which might be good inspiration for the logo:
-- sugarscape.com
-- friendster.com
-- habbo.co.uk
-- gurl.com
-- cordobo.com/wp-content/flip-com.jpg
-- bustedtees.com
The logo doesn't have to be complex, but we are looking for really good quality work!
If you have questions, please message us!

December 1996 — Although weather forecasting is accepted by the public as part of daily life, oceanic forecasting is not yet so advanced. There are, however, successful examples of oceanic forecasting—one is the newly developed skill to predict El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events, largely due to improvements in ocean modeling (see Lewis Rothstein article).
In 1982 and 1983, Eastern Australia and Indonesia experienced the century's worst drought, which led to devastation in agricultural regions and rain forests, and even to loss of hundreds of lives. These were just some regional impacts of what is now known as the most severe ENSO event on record, an anomalous warming of sea surface temperature in the eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean that occurs once every three to seven years. The change in oceanic conditions associated with ENSO is usually accompanied by atmospheric shifts, and together these phenomena lead to droughts in some parts of the world and flooding in others. It is estimated that total worldwide damage caused by the 1982-83 ENSO was more than $10 billion./p>
Another climate variation, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), a shift of atmospheric pressure fields between Iceland (65°N) and the Azores (40°N) on decadal time scales, is known to change weather conditions in Europe and North America (see NAO inset in Clara Deser's article). ENSO and NAO are just two examples of how natural climatic fluctuations can dramatically affect the world economy and our daily lives. Earth's climate changes ceaselessly, and it will surely continue to evolve, possibly in a more complicated manner due to increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases. Thus there are pressing reasons to improve our understanding of severe climate variations, such as ENSO and NAO events, and even to predict them before they occur so that the public can be informed and policy makers can prepare for possible natural disasters. Because the future is unobservable, we must rely on numerical models for such forecasting.
Geologic studies of Earth's history show that the world ocean has changed profoundly over time. Modern observations indicate that there have been noticeable changes in world ocean circulation even during recent decades. As our knowledge advances, so does our understanding of the ocean's importance in the climate system. Driven by wind stress as well as heat and freshwater fluxes, oceanic currents redistribute heat across the globe and regulate our climate. The ocean's enormous capacity to store heat also buffers climate changes. Since the ocean and the atmosphere exchange momentum, heat, and fresh water across their interfaces, variation in one fluid system can lead to changes in the other, often in a chain reaction that amplifies initially small deviations. Many climate phenomena, such as ENSO, result from such interactions, which can occur over a wide spectrum of time scales. So, even though the weather can be forecast for a week without considering oceanic circulation, climate on time scales longer than a month must include the ocean.
Temporal evolution and spatial variation of the ocean are constrained by physical laws and such external forcing fields as wind stresses and surface buoyancy fluxes. The essence of climate modeling is to integrate the dynamic equations for these climate components forward in time, starting with conditions that are often based on actual observations. The basic idea of computer simulation is to organize physical equations into a net of grids arranged to cover a spatial domain, such as the tropical Pacific Ocean for ENSO predictions, or the global oceans for carbon cycle assessments, and then predict the climatic state at each grid in the future based on its initial condition and its subsequent interactions with surrounding grids as the conditions in each change. Though the evolution of a climate event is unrepeatable and beyond our control, computer simulations can be repeated many times by varying the mathematic representation of conditions and forces at work in each grid. Thus, numerical models are very powerful tools for testing scientific hypotheses and for examining important climate processes.
One good example is a study by Frank Bryan, who conducted numerical experiments in the early 1980s while a graduate student at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory in Princeton, NJ. By running an idealized model for the Atlantic Ocean, he showed that deep water formation in the North Atlantic could be shut off by a strong salinity perturbation in the subpolar basin. If such changes were to take place, the North Atlantic's poleward heat flux would be substantially reduced, and the European climate would be remarkably less mild. His modeling results are consistent with a paleoclimatic record that shows deep water formation was interrupted about 12,000 years ago in an event known as the Younger Dryas when melted glacial water flooded the subpolar North Atlantic Ocean, resulting in Northern Hemisphere cooling and even reduction in the deglaciation process.
The accuracy of a numerical model depends on how well and how realistically it approximates boundary conditions, external forcing, and key processes that govern the real climate system. The ideal model would use a very fine spatial grid and a small integration time step to resolve spatial and temporal structures of all important physical processes in the system. For instance, mesoscale eddies, whirling parcels of fluid typically 40 to 200 kilometers wide in the subtropics, play significant roles in redistributing momentum, heat, salts, and other dissolved matter in the ocean. Excluding such processes will definitely lead to inaccurate model representations of the oceans. However, most of the current climate models use resolutions (spacing between two adjacent grids) on the order of 100 kilometers or coarser, too coarse to explicitly resolve the spatial structures of mesoscale eddies.
Increasing the horizontal and vertical resolution of the models 10 times requires increasing the number of grid points 1,000 times. In addition, the allowable time step for maintaining the numerical calculation's stability will be at least 10 times smaller (the time step should be smaller than the grid size divided by the maximum velocity). Thus, we need a computer that is 10,000 times faster and has 1,000 times more memory. For such high resolution, even the fastest computers, such as the 128-processor CM5 computer, which reaches a speed of 3 gigaflops (3 billion float point operations per second), cannot yet accommodate a long-term global simulation. Thus one key aspect of climate modeling involves how to accurately represent important processes that cannot be explicitly resolved due to model resolution limits. This is called the subgrid-scale parametrization.
Another important process that requires care is the direction along which mixing occurs. In many ocean general circulation models (OGCMs), especially those formulated in fixed spatial grids, mixing in a model grid is represented by some form of averaging its properties with those in surrounding grids. In the real world, mixing is most likely to occur along constant density surfaces so that the mixing processes do not work against the buoyancy. Recent work by James McWilliams and Peter Gent and their colleagues at the National Center for Atmospheric Research has significantly improved the performance of ocean models that use spatially fixed grids.
Rapidly developing computer technology allows climate modelers to work at ever finer resolution as they aim explicitly to model the structures and temporal evolution of eddies. For instance, Albert Semtner and his colleagues at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, have used an OGCM with a horizontal resolution of about 10 kilometers to study circulation in the Arctic Ocean and the Greenland and Norwegian Seas. Their eddy-resolving model captures many observed frontal structures, such as sharply defined features often associated with strong jets, that coarse resolution models have not been able to capture.
There are two major categories in ocean climate modeling, process studies and climate predictions. Process studies aim to understand important processes that operate the real climate system, to identify mechanisms that give rise to climate variations, or to explain particular patterns observed in the real world. Such studies often involve a hierarchy of models, from simple ones to full, three-dimensional models. Climate predictions, like numerical weather forecasts, attempt to determine future climate states based on available knowledge about how the climate system evolves in time. Climate predictions always benefit from progress in process studies. For instance, tremendous advances in process studies of tropical air-sea interactions in the 1980s led to great success in predicting ENSO events a year ahead of time. Simple models play very active roles in process studies. For example, the late Henry Stommel used a very simple two-box model to elucidate how the distinct difference between air-sea fluxes of heat and fresh water lead to multiple equilibrium states in the oceanic thermohaline circulation. This seminal work laid the foundation for our understanding of the stability and variability of the Atlantic overturning circulation. More comprehensive models, which can resolve mesoscale eddies and include ocean-atmosphere interactions, have been used to verify Stommel's work and to gain further understanding of the oceanic thermohaline circulation.
Climate prediction models must prove they can describe observed climate evolutions in the past before they can be trusted for future predictions. Therefore, modelers need observations to calibrate and verify their models. Unlike atmospheric data sets, oceanic observations have relatively short records and sparse coverage in space. New observing technologies, like satellite remote sensing, acoustic tomography, and the long-lived floats that Ray Schmitt describes in his article inset "ALACE, PALACE, Slocum", will certainly expand the observing capacity and support climate modeling. A global observational network is likely to be a combination of satellite-borne instruments (which can measure sea surface elevation, wind stress, temperature, and perhaps salinity); automatic instruments, such as buoys and data-transmitting floats; and traditional shipboard instruments. Data collected by these instruments will be sent to a land-based forecasting center, where the most powerful supercomputers will merge current oceanographic data and forecast oceanic conditions for the near future. With the rapid advance of computer technology and our understanding of ocean physics, oceanic forecasting will eventually become a reality—perhaps early in the 21st century, marine and climate forecasting will become routine.
Authors Rui Xin Huang, right, and Jiayan Yang collaborate on ocean process study and climate prediction models.
The authors envision a forecasting center that would receive near-real-time data from a variety of sources by satellite transmission for constant updating of ocean climate models. The data sources might include those shown here. The surface mooring transmits meteorological data as well as information from the string of instruments below it. Slocum, described in Schmitt article, surfaces once a week or so at the top of its trajectory to transmit temperature and salinity records from ocean depths, and SeaSoar data on a variety of upper ocean characteristics is beamed from the ship. Data collected by satellites would include sea surface elevation, wind stress, temperature, and perhaps salinity.

Comics [$0.99 - iTunes link] serves as both an iPhone formatted comic book store and reader. (Think iTunes but for comics). comiXology was kind enough to give us a preview of the app, which will be officially announced tomorrow at the San Diego Comic Con, home of all things good and geeky in the 'verse.
First, Comics costs $0.99 because it uses in-app purchases to allow you to buy paid content (more comics). Apple says "free apps stay free", so anything using in-app purchase has to be a paid app. Hence, the minimal price. On to the app.
There are multiple ways to find comics, featured, free, top 25, and browse/search. Lots of information and a few preview images are provided for each, along with a link to buy print versions, which opens a WebView to Amazon.com with an option to move it into Safari.
A good amount of free comics available -- I went immediately for Robert Kirkman's excellent Invincible. You need to set up an account before you can download comics, but it's fairly quick (it does ask your birthdate, presumably for age-based ratings reasons). Once you've set up your account, you can download away. It took me 25 seconds over Rogers 3G to get a comic. Not bad.
A tutorial walks you through the "guided" mode of comics reading, and then away you go. It took me a second to get used to the animated way in which Comics takes you through panels, but it works well. You can turn to landscape when wanted, or disable rotation if it bothers you.
Of course, there's no Marvel (think Wolverine, Hulk, Iron Man) or DC (Batman, Superman) titles to be found, and for that I blame the same kind of slow thinking that long plagued music and still plagues other media to some extent.
It does give the independents a little room to shine, however.
Note: The developers are currently reporting problems with in-app purchases and the iTunes servers behind them, but say they're working with Apple to resolve them. In the mean time, the free comics are all working just fine.
If you're a comics fan, and you give Comics a try, let us know how you like it!
Tons of screen caps after the break!

Two fishermen aboard the Marlin Darlin narrowly avoided disaster when the 350-pound blue marlin hooked by the angler decided to land itself, jumping into the boat and barely missing the wireman and knocking the angler to the deck. Both were lucky to have eluded the swinging bill.
The angler is Wahoo Barfield and the man wiring the fish is Chris (last name unknown), according to Beecher Jacobsen, who posted the original video (at bottom) that was taken by his dad, Bobby Jacobsen, on Thursday morning.
Watch how dangerously close the swinging bill of the marlin comes to the two fishermen in this Fox News report:
Usually, marlin are released alive, but Fox News anchor Heather Childers reported that this one died of self-sustained injuries, so it was donated to local fishermen.
The Marlin Darlin fishermen are from Clearwater, Florida. They fished Friday and planned to return to the states over the weekend, according to Beecher, who relayed some of the details via email to GrindTV Outdoor.
We will add more details and photos once we hear back from boat caption Eddie Wheeler and the others.
