18th ARRL and TAPR Digital Communications Conference
September 24-26, 1999
- Ham Web Node
by John Bandy, W0UT and Dale Puckett K0HYD
- Abstract: This paper describes an existing amateur packet node that provides many graphic and text services to other amateur packet stations in the amateur radio 2 meter band.
- Ham Web Station
by John Bandy, W0UT and Dale Puckett K0HYD
- Abstract: This paper explains the requirements for an amateur radio station that communicates with an amateur radio web station/node on the 2 meter band. It uses a graphic user interface (GUI) desktop of a personal computer (PC).
- A practical Approach to Implementing H.F. Digital Voice in the Amateur Service
by Charles Brain G4GUO
- Abstract: This paper describes a practical approach to building a working digital voice system suitable for NVIS operation on the H.F. Amateur bands.
- XML and APRS
by Steve Dimse K4HG
- Abstract: Recently, a number of pundits have been calling XML (eXtensible Markup Language) the "Next Big Thing" on the Web. New XML aware applications are being released all the time. Over the next few years, more and more information will be made available in XML. The ability to easily machine-interpret this information will be a watershed event in the development of the Internet. APRS will not be left out! In this paper I detail the first efforts in making APRS data available in XML.
- Proposal for a Spread Spectrum Transponder Payload on the International Space Station
by Matthew Ettus N2MJI
- Abstract: A satellite payload for the International Space Station is proposed, which would provide high bandwidth, wide-area data communications capabilities for radio amateurs. Key features of the system are a simple space segment and low cost ground stations. Varying tiers of service can be provided depending on end-user equipment investment, from low-cost paging, through digital voice and high speed data communication.
- A Low-Cost HF Channel Simulator for Testing and Evaluating HF Digital Systems
by Johan Forrer KC7WW
- Abstract: The incentive and justification for this project was inspired by the author's desire to develop HF digital communications devices that effectively deal with the variable nature of the ionospheric propagation medium. Simulating the behavior of the ionosphere in real time allows for bench testing of HF modems and other communications devices. In the past, these so-called "HF channel simulators" used exotic and expensive computing hardware that was not available to the average amateur experimenter. The simulator presented in this article is based on a low-cost floating-point DSP evaluation kit that accommodates a wide range of simulated conditions, including CCIR 520-1. The simulation model is an implementation of the Watterson, Gaussian-scatter, HF ionospheric channel model which is the de facto standard for this kind of work. The article concludes with a summary of test results for a number of contemporary, forward error-correcting (FEC) HF digital systems tested on this HF channel simulator: PSK31, CBPSK, and MT63. This simulator is a worthy addition to anyone's array of testing tools for developing DSP modem algorithms, routing or protocol development for HF communication systems.
- A Perspective on Open Source, Xastir, Amateur Radio and Linux
by Frank Giannandrea KC0DGE
- Abstract: Linux and the Open Source way of thinking have recently been in hot debate throughout the world. Open fighting on this subject has brought out merits on either side of this discussion. Each point of view is applicable in different ways. This is my attempt to discuss how Open Source may be used to benefit Amateur Radio, and how I have used these ideas in my own project.
- Automatic Weather Bulletins via APRS
by Dale Huguley KG5QD and Keith Sproul WU2Z
- Abstract: This project was an outgrowth of a Pascal-based weather parser located at the Collier County Florida Emergency Operations Center called WXSVR, with stood for Weather Server or Weather Severe. Data from the GTE Weather Wire service was broken into products and made available on the local packet BBS, with hurricane data sent to the statewide network. In February 1997 I met Keith Sproul at the National Hurricane Center during the annual Amateur Radio Conference. I started communication with him and Mark Sproul concerning the use of WinAPRS(tm) for hurricane information display and dissemination. An interface protocol was agreed upon to allow the development of a parser as a possible plug-in to the MacAPRS(tm)/WinAPRS(tm) software. The Parser was originally for hurricanes only, but subsequently was developed for all types of weather bulletins.
- (Non Technical) Lessons to be learned from the PSK31 Phenomena
by Jacob Eduardo, EA2BAJ
- Abstract: The new PSK31 mode has raised much attention from both the technical press and the hams. We can get on the air from many operating systems using different hardware. We can read about it in many languages, ranging from English to Czech. There have been tests on satellites and on high frequencies. Many contests now include PSK31 as a valid mode. Yet, PSK31 has much more to offer. I believe that we can learn from the experience in benefit of new ham projects for the future.
- Arizona Packet Radio, Past Present and Future(?)
by Keith Justice KF7TP and Daniel Meredith N7MRP
- Abstract: A brief history of packet radio in Arizona is presented. The current status of the network is described with a map showing node locations and major links, and a detailed node list is available in the Appendix. We speculate on the future, arguing that the Internet, while responsible for the decrease in the current user population, can also provide opportunity for future applications. An application particularly suited to Arizona is the provision of Internet e-mail gateways for the many vacationers, winter visitors, and campers who frequent the state. We are optimistic that other applications, not foreseeable in their exact nature, will certainly emerge.
- A software Implementation for Federal Standard 1052 (Mil. Std. 188-110A HF Modems)
by Robert McGwier N4HY
- Abstract: Federal Standard 1052 is a modem designed for use on HF. It is specifically designed to overcome the effects of propagation on HF to a certain degree. This paper describes the approach taken by the author in a software implementation for the personal computer. The author has chosen to do the initial implementation on Pentium and Dec-Alpha based computers running Linux.
- Next Generation of Amateur Radio Systems
by Paul Rinaldo W4RI
- Abstract: The following PowerPoint presentation was originally prepared for a small group of representatives of ARRL, DARC and UBA at Friedrichshafen, Germany. During the discussion, it was acknowledged that HF digital voice was difficult (using LPC-10 or MELP, for example) and that early emphasis should be placed on VHF/UHF multi-media systems. This slide set is offered for your information.
- An Inexpensive High Speed Modem for the Universal Serial Bus (USB)
by Thomas Sailer HB9JNX/AE4WA
- Abstract: This article describes a simple and inexpensive modem intended to link end users at 76.8kBits/s to the high speed backbone network. The modem can be connected to standard PC's using the Universal Serial Bus (USB).
- Automatic Picture Relay Network SSTV Picture Server
by Keith Sproul WU2Z, Douglas Quagliana KA2UPW, and Bob Bruninga WB4APR
- Abstract: SSTV, Slow Scan Television, has been around for years. In the past, it was primarily used on HF. The equipment was big, bulky, and somewhat expensive. Nobody even thought of doing SSTV on VHF or portable. With the introduction of the Kenwood VC-H1 this stereotype has changed. This paper discuses software that takes the SSTV images sent from these portable SSTV systems and automatically puts them on a server that makes these pictures available to other Hams. This allows a Ham to send his pictures to a common site that other hams can recalled the pictures from using touch-tone commands. This 'PICTURE SERVER' becomes a 'picture' repeater that also enables hams that do not have a good direct radio path to exchange pictures via this PICTURE NETWORK. In addition, the pictures can be viewed on a local network via Netscape or other web browser.
- APRS for X-Windows (Linux)
by Mark Sproul KB2ICI
- Abstract: APRS, Automatic Position Reporting System, has been around for most of this decade. Part of the attraction of APRS is that it runs on many different platforms. There are versions that run on DOS, Macintosh, Windows, Palm Pilot, and now the Sproul Brothers (TSB) have introduced a version that runs on LINUX, using X-Windows. This is an important addition to the APRS community because many Hams are starting to use LINUX and there are lots of other Ham Radio related software available for LINUX.
- APRS Stand Alone Message Receiver
by Mark Sproul KB2ICI and Keith Sproul WU2Z
- Abstract: APRS, Automatic Position Reporting System, has evolved quite a lot over the last eight years. We can run APRS from our home, we can run APRS from our car. We can run with a computer in the car, or we can run with just a tracker unit. In the later case, we have stand alone trackers, we have MIC-Es, PIC-Es and Kenwood Data Radios. In the case of MIC-E's, PIC-Es, and stand-alone trackers, the position data is being transmitted, but the received data is going nowhere. In these cases, for the most part it doesn't matter where the received data goes because we are not in a situation to use that data anyway. However, what if someone wanted to send you a message? If you have a MIC-E, PIC-E, or a standalone tracker, you just can't receive messages. The Kenwood TH-D7 can receive message, but the other tracker units cannot. Wouldn't it be nice if you could receive messages even if you don't have a computer hooked up in your vehicle. In addition, wouldn't it be nicer if we could receive the messages via voice?
- Detailed Remote Weather Reporting VIA Packet Radio
by Mark Warbled N8LHG
- Abstract: This paper will describe a unique way to view real-time dynamic weather station information via packet radio in extreme detail and accuracy.
- APRS GENERIC DIGIPEATING SATELLITES for HT and MOBILE Satellite Communications
by Bob Bruninga WB4APR
- Abstract: It's time for mobile and handheld amateur satellite communications and we can do it easily. Proposals for amateur satellite constellations have been made in the past, but they assume a coordinated effort. Such an effort is unrealistic in the catch-as-catch-can amateur environment. This paper suggests that the future growth of amateur satellites can in fact accommodate uncoordinated growth and still provide synergistic advantages to mobile and handheld operations.
- APRS Mic-Lite
by Bob Bruninga WB4APR
- Abstract: The Mic-Lite is the ultimate APRS Mic-Encoder for maximum flexibility and versatility. It can be plugged into any radio in place of the microphone and gives you instant APRS position, telemetry and message reporting on any Radio. It is assembled from the MIM module and a few off-the-shelf Radio Shack components.

Denver Broncos coach John Fox insists Wes Welker acted in good faith during Sunday's AFC Championship Game.
After Patriots coach Bill Belichick singled out the Denver slot receiver for a "deliberate" hit on New England cornerback Aqib Talib, Fox said the Broncos "were not doing anything with intent."
Fox told reporters that he hadn't even heard the comments from Belichick, who railed against Welker's vicious block on Talib as "one of the worst plays I've seen" and a "deliberate play by the receiver to take out Aqib. No attempt to get open."
"I would say that most pass routes we run, there's an intent to get open," Fox said with a smile.
FoxSports.com's Mike Garafolo noted that Denver's coach suggested that New England also used its own receivers to create traffic over the middle of the field. The Patriots did, indeed, run a nearly identical play in the first quarter with wideout Julian Edelman delivering a hit that rattled Broncos cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.
We argued Sunday that Welker should have been called for pass interference, but officials viewed the scenario as a judgment call over whether contact between Welker and Talib occurred as the ball was being touched by Broncos wideout Demaryius Thomas.
Officials deemed that no flag be thrown. That's your first hint that Welker might avoid punishment.
The "Around The League Podcast" recapped all the Conference Championship week action.

BRANDON — Here we go again. Brandon residents defeated the proposed town budget on a re-vote Tuesday, 498-318.
It was a $3,218,670 proposed spending plan, with $2,613,995 to be raised by taxes, which represented a 12.2 percent tax increase.
While the original Town Meeting Day vote resulted in a 44 percent voter turnout, Tuesday's vote only drew 29 percent of the electorate despite a mass mailing and selectboard members pounding the pavement.
BRANDON — Now that petitioners have triggered a re-vote on the Brandon town budget after it passed on Town Meeting Day by eight votes, the stage is set for voters to ask their long-awaited questions.
An informational meeting about the budget will be held at the Neshobe School on Monday, April 29, at 7 p.m. The Brandon selectboard will take budget questions from voters. The meeting will be moderated by Bernie Carr.

MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury selectboard on Tuesday finalized a 2013-2014 municipal budget of $8,951,760 to present to voters at town meeting.
The proposed spending plan, if approved by residents, would drive an increase of around 4.5 cents in the town property tax rate and calls for a one-year, 50-percent reduction in the amount of money the community annually places into its fire equipment replacement fund.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury residents on Jan. 17 will be asked to comment on a proposed 2012-2013 municipal spending plan of $8,417,735, representing an increase of 1.74 percent ($148,370) that would require a 1.8-cent bump in the local property tax rate.
The Middlebury selectboard recently approved the budget for public hearing after agreeing on a combined total of $116,443 in cuts and revenue adjustments since November, when they first began cobbling together a fiscal year 2013 spending plan.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury selectboard on Dec. 6 will begin paring back the first draft of a 2012-2013 municipal budget that would require a 3.4-cent increase in the local tax rate in order to maintain existing services and capital improvement priorities.
The draft $8,504,690 spending plan, reviewed by the selectboard for the first time at a meeting last Tuesday, represents a $230,825 increase compared to this year's municipal budget. One penny on Middlebury's tax rate raises roughly $72,000.
VERGENNES — Despite a winter that challenged the Vergennes Public Works Department and increased demand for the services of the Vergennes Police Department, the city's budget appears to be on track as the June 30 end of the fiscal year approaches.
City Manager Mel Hawley said in an interview last Thursday that a combination of belt-tightening and better-than-expected revenue streams put the city's finances in a better position than he had hoped even a few short weeks before.

Our forum was hacked a few days ago, this is the second time now, is there anyone in here with the skills to track this guy down for us? I'm presenting you guys with a challenge to attain bragging rights!!!!
I'm not the clan owner, but an admin, if anyone can help I'll ask him to post all relevant information.
This hacker is threatening us & we suspect that we know who it is, so possibly I have his ip on file, although he claims to have deleted logs & is using a "stolen dial-up connection". I assume by his threats posted below that he intends to target our online game server's FTP next, any help on this would be greatly appreciated, as we are a gaming clan & not really into hacking related stuff.
As you may be aware, the ACE forums got hacked.
The hacker sent me an email and reading it, it sounds like somebody we know.
Here they are and you tell me what you think and if you know if there is anything we can do to track him down.
I have replied to these emails and told him I already know who he is.
Email 1
Hopefully this will teach you a lesson, be careful who you **** with. Don't
spread **** that isnt true. Next time, it wont just be your forums. I will
not reveal the source of the attack, however i will tell you that your
database has been compromised. I am offering a backup of your database taken
minutes before the attack in agreement that your clan will no longer promote
several lies pertaining to other clans and their members.
~ Marx
Email 2
We'll see my friend. Since you have my home address I'm sure you wouldn't
mind sharing it with me. Also, good luck with the ip address, I don't mind
telling you that I am running off of a stolen dial up connection outside of
the states so tracking my ip address with accuracy would be quite a task.
Also, don't bother with the web logs, all traceable data has been truncated.
Hope you enjoy the surprises I have embedded for later. As for your site,
this was no attack against you as your clan surely suffers more than you do.
I have attached a copy of the backup in a previous email to your hotmail
address once you realize your forum cant do without it. I'd like to see you
speed up your game reflexes a bit, your not providing a worthy challenge
lately. See you in the games,
~ Marx

Daily Distraction: Little Boy Busted After Eating Candy–He Stands Firm [VIDEO]
We sometimes wonder where kids learn things, like lying. Many would venture to say that it's all built into our being, while others would say that they learned by observation. Regardless, it sure is funny when an innocent kid is busted after doing something he shouldn't have done, and will not back down from his statement even though the evidence is overwhelming.

To curb gang activity in California, local courts and law enforcement created a special injunctions process that permits the arrest of known gang members for small infractions--in hopes of preventing more violent crimes. But to be really effective, arresting officers needed timely information to help them make good decisions and follow proper procedures.
The answer was a mobile-data system that puts "information at an officer's fingertips to make an arrest," says Ed Ivora, an administrative analyst and head of technology at the Long Beach Police Department.
A gang injunction is a court order making it illegal for known gang members to loiter together, possess spray paint or commit other small crimes in a pre-defined "safety zone." If a police officer sees such behavior, he can make an arrest. But first, the officer must verify that the person has been served the court papers.

|It was that steep!
The result: Vincenzo Nibali is the new race leader.
Rider comments:
Taylor Phinney: "Probably the most trying day I've ever had on a bike. When I wanted to stop, I thought about my Dad and I didn't quit. I made it, 37min down". Phinney was the only rider that continued on despite that his effort would see his arrival at the finish outside the time limit (there is a fan sentiment that for his efforts he should be allowed to be allowed to race the final stage tomorrow).
Alberto Condator remarked, "Sometimes you don't believe it's possible to go up on the bike."
Peter Sagan: "It was a very hard stage. When the rain started to fall, the gradients of 30% were hard to get up. I heard Contador say that, when he climbed out of the saddle, his back wheel slipped. I rode in the saddle all the time."
Fabian Cancellara: "I have just to say today's stage has nothing to do with bike racing."
Chris Froome: "That was really hard. As soon as the weather came down, the conditions got even harder. I just didn't have the legs in the final. I felt I was a little over-geared and I don't think I was dressed warmly enough for the weather."
The last 1.6 Km of a saw-tooth course profile:

The application of optical imaging to cancer diagnosis will be the focus of the annual Gentile Lectureship presented in conjunction with Homecoming Weekend at Hope College.
Dr. Brett Bouma, a 1986 Hope graduate who is a professor at Harvard Medical School and a physicist at Massachusetts General Hospital, will present the address "Advances in Optical Imaging and Translation into Clinical Medicine" on Friday, Oct. 3, at 3:30 p.m. in the Maas Center auditorium.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Bouma is an associate professor of dermatology and health sciences and technology at Harvard Medical School, and an associate physicist with the Wellman Laboratories for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital.
His research interests are primarily focused on the development and validation of new optical methods for disease control. His talk will discuss the techniques and their potential to enable clinicians to detect cancerous changes earlier, and thus for cancer to be treated sooner in its development and therefore with a greater chance of success.
Bouma graduated from Hope in 1986 with a physics major. He completed his Master of Science degree in physics at Michigan State University in 1988 and his doctorate in physics at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1993.
The Gentile Interdisciplinary Lectureship at Hope was established in 2005 by faculty colleagues, former students and friends of Dr. James Gentile. Gentile joined the Hope faculty in 1976 and served as dean for the natural sciences from 1988 to 2005, when he became president of Research Corporation, a private foundation in Tucson, Ariz., that supports basic research in the physical sciences.
The Maas Center is located at 264 Columbia Ave., on Columbia Avenue at 11th Street.

Mrs. Lucy Brooks Cabot, 86, wife of Norman F. Cabot, died in her home on Terrace Street this morning about 1.45 o'clock after an illness of about six weeks. She was born in Chesterfield, Factory Village, Dec. 13, 1825, and was a daughter of Capt. William S. and Elinor Forman Brooks. Her father was a native of Medford, Mass., and her mother came from Freehold, N.Y. In 1821 her father went to Chesterfield and in 1839 the family came to this town. Following the death of her mother she went south and there met Norman F. Cabot and they were married in Wetumpha [sic, should be Wetumpka], Ala., Dec. 13, 1853. Previous to the Civil war they came to Brattleboro and had since lived here, Mr. Cabot being for many years treasurer of the Vermont Savings Bank.
She had two brothers and two sisters, all of whom were prominent in the town during their lives. George J. Brooks was the builder of the Brooks House and gave the Brooks library building to the town.

November 2009 BSA Theme - Cub Scout Salute
"This month Cub Scouts salute those heroes who help keep us safe and secure each and every day. Can only adults be heroes? Heroes are often ordinary kids who did something out of the ordinary! A den can decide what makes a hero and who the heroes of tomorrow might be by looking at people they know today. Learn about heroes in your own community, as well as Scouting heroes who have earned BSA heroism awards. Have your Cub Scouts invite their hometown heroes to a den or pack meeting. Perhaps your den can become "silent heroes" by performing service for others without seeking any recognition. Visit a fire station, veteran's hospital (Veterans Day is this month), police station, or teacher's classroom and learn about their heroic deeds and reciprocate with a "Scout salute" for their contributions. You might work on the Cub Scout Citizenship belt loop and pin." - Program Helps

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - April 18, 2013) - Biologix Hair Inc. (OTCBB:BLGX) (OTCQB:BLGX) announces the Company has established a Medical Advisory Board and named Dr. Craig Ziering as its Chairman.
Dr. Ziering received his Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine from Nova Southeastern University in Miami, Florida and completed his residency at Ohio University's Grandview Medical Center, Dayton, Ohio. After completing a Fellowship in Hair Restoration with Medical Hair Restoration in Orlando, Dr. Ziering became the Associate Medical Director at MHR for a period of ten years before founding his private practice, Ziering Medical, in 2003. Ziering's world headquarters is in Beverly Hills, California and now has surgical centers throughout the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Dr. Ziering is certified by both the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and the American Osteopathic Board of Dermatology and is known in Hollywood as "The Hair Restoration Surgeon to the Stars."
A past president of the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology, Dr. Ziering serves on advisory boards for various companies including Merck, Lexington International and Viviscal, on the scientific advisory board of Histogen (a Regenerative Medicine company) and is on the Surgical Faculty for the Procedural Dermatology Fellowship at the University of California at Irvine, Dermatology Faculty, Western University/Pacific Hospital, Long Beach, California and Michigan State University, Dermatology Faculty. Additionally, Dr. Ziering is a consultant and R&D Center for Restoration Robotics and consultant for Kythera, as well as being the Primary Investigator for hair clinical trials for Histogen.
As a recognized expert in the art and science of hair transplant surgery, Dr. Ziering is a frequent guest on television and radio programs including "The Today Show." In addition to being invited to perform the first hair transplant procedure on the ABC hit "Extreme Makeover," he was chosen to premier his "sneak-peek long hair transplant" procedure on the cutting-edge E! reality show, "Dr. 90210."
In 2003, Dr. Ziering was recognized by his peers at the International Society for Hair Restoration Surgeons for his Whorl Hair Classification System being awarded the prestigious "Most Original New Idea" at that year's scientific assembly.
Ron Holland, Biologix Director and CEO, stated, "As we continue to rapidly develop our international network of clinicians and medical practitioners seeking to become certified Biologix Hair Therapists™ and to secure exclusive territorial treatment rights for the Biologix Hair Therapy System™, we deem it of great value to build a Medical Advisory Board comprised of leading medical professionals who can provide ongoing advice and assistance.
"Dr. Ziering is one of the contracting clinicians who recognized the value opportunity of our patent pending hair formula, Biologix Revive. We welcome Dr. Ziering to the Biologix team and look forward to working together to build a top-notch board of medical advisers."
About Biologix Hair Inc. and Biologix Hair Science Ltd.
Biologix Hair Inc. (Biologix Hair), together with its wholly owned biotechnology subsidiary, Biologix Hair Science Ltd. ™ (BHS), is focused on realizing the full market potential for its patent-pending hair loss prevention and regeneration treatment - the Biologix Hair Therapy System™ - and its demonstrated ability to prevent and reverse the effects of alopecia, which plagues hundreds of millions worldwide.
Between mid-2004 and mid-2012, more than 30,000 pre-clinical-trial treatments of Biologix Revive - the essence of the Biologix Hair Therapy System™ - were administered to 5,000-plus patients in South America suffering with varying degrees of alopecia, as well as people seeking preventive treatment. The participating treatment clinicians subjectively observed and reported that virtually 100% of preventive care clients continued to retain their healthy hair and an estimated 80-85% of the males and 90-plus% of the females treated for hair regeneration experienced significant regrowth of their own natural hair. And among alopecia areata patients, virtually total hair regrowth was observed in 100% of the cases. To date, no negative side effects have been reported.
BHS is currently focused on obtaining FDA approval for its breakthrough hair loss prevention and regeneration therapy and has initiated a research and development program with one of the world's leading medical research universities, the Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT). The R&D program, expected to take approximately twelve months to complete, is an important final step before formal clinical trials and the FDA approval process begins.
Additionally, on May 11, 2012, Venable LLP, the Washington-based law firm overseeing the worldwide IP and regulatory approval processes on behalf of BHS, filed a Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) application on behalf of BHS for Biologix Revive in Geneva, Switzerland. The PCT is an international treaty, administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), to which 144 countries have as of now contracted, including Canada and the United States.
Biologix management is determined to be in a ready position to capitalize on the high-margin sales potential of the Biologix Hair Therapy System™, if and when FDA and other major market approvals are forthcoming.
As BHS advances the regulatory approval process, Biologix Hair, together with wholly owned subsidiary companies operated by BHS, are rapidly developing a global distribution network of licensed clinicians and medical practitioners seeking to become Certified Biologix Hair Therapists™ and secure exclusive territorial purchasing and treatment rights for the Biologix Hair Therapy System™.
Biologix Hair has decided not to risk creating any potential regulatory conflicts by offering treatment outside the United States and other major high-product-margin markets until FDA approval has been granted. Therefore, the Biologix Hair Therapy System™ is not yet available other than to the 5,000+ patients who participated in the pre-clinical-trials conducted in South America.

DPI problem in the LiveCD
The DPI is way too high. I have a widescreen laptop and the screen is crammed.
Setting the DPI (after a long fight with every piece of the GUI) to 96 fixed the problem. I found that it was originally undefined. But the problem now is that I have to log out and then log back in to restart the desktop which was useless because the settings are forgotten.

Re: DPI problem in the LiveCD
DPI isn't a setting you change. It's a physical parameter: your resolution (in pixels) divided by your screen size (in inches). Change the resolution, the DPI changes too. The end result is that a 10pt font looks the same visually at 640x480, 800x600, 1600x1200 or any other resolution.

Hi peeps,
Just wanted to say, I made a VMWare Player image out of the KDE 4 alpha 2 LiveCD (available on demand :)) and I am VERY impressed with what the KDE developpers are on to. It's still alpha and not very stable, but the general feel of it is very, very smooth and polished. So thank you all for the excellent work. :)

A video from Defense Distributed popped up just in time for Barack Obama's momentous address to the nation about, among other things, banning the sale of 30-round magazines.
The video shows a test fire of an assault rifle using a 3D-printed 30-round clip. The capability adds another layer to the loopholes and problems that exist in a 'high-capacity magazine' ban.
The implication is that, as technology becomes more available, it won't be long before regular people can put 30-round magazines in the printing queue next to their TPS reports.
In an Andy Greenberg post on Forbes, Defense Distributed founder Cody Wilson talks about weapons bans and his polymer, printed 30-round magazine:
Wilson argues that the high capacity magazine ban wouldn't just be wrong, but also impossible to enforce, as his project aims to show. Even if Defense Distributed's original goal of printing a gun from scratch remains out of reach, the restrictions on magazine could be far more easily bypassed, he says. "[Lawmakers] are taking a giant step backward, and it makes everything we've talked about more practical," says Wilson. "There's more opportunity to demonstrate the usefulness, the consequences of our project. I can already print this magazine and show that prohibition has run up against a problem."
The next best step for the government would be to ban the manufacture of 30-round magazines, but the U.S. already manufactures and exports those by the millions to support American and foreign military demand.

The EGL editor provides specialized features for editing EGL code in Eclipse. Associated with the editor is a EGL-specific Outline view, which shows the structure of the active EGL Part. The Outline view is updated as the user edits the EGL file. The EGL editor includes the following features:
- Syntax highlighting
- Content/code assist
- Code formatting
- Import assistance (Organize imports)
- Quick fix
- Integrated debugging features
This article introduces some features to improve the EGL development efficiency.
- Content Assist
- Quick fix/Quick Assist
- Navigation between EGL parts
- Vertical ruler
Use Content Assist to improve development efficiency
Content assist helps you to quickly define a variable, function or complete a line of code in the EGL editor. The content assist is context sensitive, which means that the proposals listed in the dialog is different depending on the cursor position. In the EGL editor, press Ctrl + Space or Alt + "/"(depending on your configuration) to trigger the content assist which lists possible code completion options.
Three types of content assist proposals in EGL
- Keyword Proposals:This type only provides EGL Keywords.
- Reference Proposals:This type provides proposals such as variables defined in the context, System type, library, functions.
- Template Proposals:This type provides predefined code snippets, like function definition code, externaltype definition code, etc.
How to configure content assist
- Open configuration dialog Window>Preferences>EGL>Editor>Content Assist
- Make sure the "Enable auto activation" checkbox is selected.
- Expand Content assist node and select the Advanced page.
- Choose those Proposal kinds in your default proposal list. (The first proposal list when content assist was invoked.)
- Configure the order of proposal kinds you want.
The content assist dialog
When the Content Assist dialog is displayed, you can use the content assist hot key to display a specific proposal type.
How to use content assist
Define a variable
Example: Defining a checkbox type variable in a RUI Handler.
- Type the variable name you want.
- Invoke Content assist.
- The content assist lists all proposals. You can type characters to filter the result.
Initialize a field value for complex types
In the handler file, a variable defined as follows:
acheckbox CheckBox{};
Now we want to initialize the width value of the check box.
- Invoke Content assist within "{}".
- Type "w" to filter the result. (You can type "i" again to filter result, if you want.)
- Select "width" and press Enter. The "width = " will be inserted into EGL editor.
- Invoke Content Assist after "=", "" will be inserted and you could input the value you want.
Using template proposals to define a part
Template proposals are predefined code templates can be used in EGL language. Templates allow you to replace some variables with your own.
Example: Defining a Entity subtype Record data type
- Move the cursor below the end of last end keyword, input "r", and invoke Content Assist.
- Select "record-entity record" and press Enter.
- The cursor will auto focus on the "recordName". Input the variable name.
Using template to define a function
- Put the cursor before the last end keyword.
- Input a "f", and invoke Content assist.
- Choose "function with parameters and..." and press Enter. The function prototype will be generated for you.
Quick fix/Quick Assist
The EGL editor offers corrections to problems found while typing and after compiling. To show that correction proposals are available for a problem. Default hotkey for Quick fix/Quick assist is Ctrl + 1.
Create callback functions
- Write the function name you want after "returning to",in the example is "aReturnFunction".
- Invoke quick fix by press Ctrl + 1
- Choose "Create function …." ,press "enter" and save the file.
Create delegate functions
Sometimes when you do not know the definition of a delegate, and you need to create instance of the delegate(create a function) .In this time, quick fix could create a prototype for you.
- Take "onclick" event handler of Button as a example.
- Invoke quick fix at the error line.
- Select "Create function …." ,press "enter" and save the file.
Open part dialog
- Open the Open Part dialog by pressing Ctrl+Shift+F3, choosing Navigate > Open Part...
- Press the Arrow Down key to select CheckBox
- Press Enter to open the Part in the EGL editor.
On the Line 6 of the aHandler part declaration, select the aService variable. Click Open on Selection from the context menu (or press F3).
The aService Part opens in the editor area and is also represented in the Outline view. Note: This command also works on functions and fields.
After this action, cursor will jump to the definition of aService.
Vertical ruler
The left side of EGL editor is vertical ruler. Right click on the vertical ruler,a pop-up context menu will show. Through this menu lists, you could manager the display structure of source code,show line number,add/delete bookmark,task etc.
Source folding
Folding function is used to enable users quickly organize the source code display structure.
- You can right click vertical ruler Folding>Togge Folding or
- Press Ctrol + /(Number pad)
To enable/disable folding function.
Add bookmark & tasks
The Workbench allows you to create bookmarks in files that you edit so that you can quickly reopen those files from the Bookmarks view
- With the file open in an editor, right-click in the gray border at the left of the editor area, next to the line of code or text that you want to bookmark.
- Select Add Bookmark from the pop-up menu.
- Notice that an icon for the bookmark now appears in the left border of the editor area. A record ine is also added to the Bookmarks view.)
You can add/delete/manipulate task with the same way in EGL editor and task view.

Raúl Ruiz's final work, 'Night Across the Street'
It's a pretty small category: films about death made by directors who knew they were dying. Until now, the genre has included a scant three movies that I know of: John Huston's "The Dead'' (1987), Derek Jarman's "Blue'' (1993), and Robert Altman's "A Prairie Home Companion'' (2006). The arrival of Raúl Ruiz's final work, "Night Across the Street,'' brings the total to four, an elegant, clear-eyed bridge game of artists playing their last trump cards.
Ruiz's movies resist both categorization and star ratings, and "Night,'' filmed while the director was battling liver cancer (he died in August 2011 of a lung infection), is no different. Nominally based on stories by the Chilean writer Hernán del Solar, it's an exuberantly Ruizian meditation on a man's final days, fondly surreal and lit with a life's wisdom. The title character, Don Celso (Sergio Hernández), is a stand-in for the filmmaker, and he skips easily between childhood memories and a weary present tense.
Born in Chile but working in France from the Pinochet regime onward, Ruiz was many things: a writer of Chilean soap operas, a film theorist, director of over 100 movies and videos — he's probably the most prolific director you never heard of. In theory and in practice, he avoided the "central conflict'' approach that most dramas and Hollywood movies accept as a matter of course. Films like "Three Lives and Only One Death'' (1996) and "Mysteries of Lisbon'' (2010) are illogical on the surface yet graceful with dream logic beneath; they are to movies what the stories of Jorge Luis Borges are to literature, pocked with weird details that hint at vast and formless implications.
So the memory play of "Night Across the Street'' is crisscrossed by such figures as Ludwig von Beethoven (Sergio Schmied; the young hero takes him to a Randolph Scott western, which promptly freaks the great composer out), French author Jean Giono (Christian Vadim), and Long John Silver (Pedro Villagra) of "Treasure Island.'' The director indulges his love of pulp fiction with a murder subplot in which Don Celso is the intended victim but everyone else ends up dead. Perhaps the approach of death kills off the people we've known, or at least our memories of them.
Among many other things, "Night Across the Street'' is a moviemaker's farewell to movies — the Hollywood corn he loved as a child and the serenely strange inventions he put on film. Ruiz sees the camera as a metaphor for both a pistol and a mirror, "and tonight,'' says Don Celso, "the mirrors show us whatever we like.'' It's probably not true that our lives flash before our eyes in the seconds before death. No matter: Ruiz has made a movie that did the job for him.

The last session's volume was 11,576,584 compared to its average daily volume of 1.36M shares. The company has its outstanding shares of 81.52M. The Services stock showed a change of -4.41% from opening and finally closed at $22.09 by scoring -12.89%.
Stock's Technical Analysis:
Technical Analysis is the forecasting of future financial price movements based on an examination of past price movements. Technical indicators, collectively called "technicals", are distinguished by the fact that they do not analyze any part of the fundamental business, like earnings, revenue and profit margins. Technical indicators are used immensely by active traders in the market, as they are intended mainly for analyzing short-term price movements. To a long-term shareholder, most technical indicators are of little value, as they do nothing to shed light on the underlying business. The most effective uses of technicals for a long-term shareholder are to assist identify good entry and exit points for the stock by analyzing the long-term trend.
This stock is ahead of its 52-week low with 5.24%. The share price has moved away from its 20 days moving average at the rate of -20.11% and its 50 days moving average returned -18.31%.

Where the Level Of Risk Stands For This Stock? (Beta & Volatility Analysis):
Risk management is a fundamental process used to make investment decisions. The process involves spotting the amount of risk involved and either accepting or mitigating the risk linked with an investment. Some common measures of risk are standard deviation, beta, value at risk (VaR) and conditional value at risk.
Standard deviation gauges the dispersion of data from its projected value. The standard deviation is used in making an investment decision to measure the amount of historical volatility, or risk, linked with an investment relative to its annual rate of return. It represents how much the current return is deviating from its predictable historical normal returns. For example, a stock that has a high standard deviation experiences higher volatility, and therefore, a higher level of risk is associated with the stock. After a recent check, DSW Inc., (NYSE: DSW)'s last month price volatility comes out to be 2.85% which for the week stands at 3.61%. Volatility is one of those things which for many retail shareholders means very little, but it's the basis on which stocks and are traded and the sentiment in markets is also assessed. High volatility can make entering or an exit a stock expensive, it can also exacerbate price increases and potential profits to the upside and downside.
Another common measure of risk is Beta. Beta measures the amount of systematic risk a security has relative to the whole market. The market has a beta of 1, and it can be used to gauge the risk of a security. The beta value of DSW stands at 1.16. If a security's beta is equal to 1, the security's price moves in time step with the market. A security with a beta greater than 1 indicates that it is more volatile than the market. Conversely, if a security's beta is less than 1, it indicates that the security is less volatile than the market. For example, suppose a security's beta is 1.5. In theory, the security is 50% more volatile than the market.
In-Depth Volatility Analysis:
Developed by J. Welles Wilder, the Average True Range (ATR) is an indicator that gauges volatility. As with most of his indicators, Wilder designed ATR with commodities and daily prices in mind. Commodities are normally more volatile than stocks. They were are often subject to gaps and limit moves, which occur when a commodity opens up or down its maximum allowed move for the session. A volatility formula based only on the high-low range would fail to capture volatility from gap or limit moves. Wilder created Average True Range to capture this "missing" volatility. It is important to remember that ATR does not provide an indication of price direction, just volatility.
ATR is counted for different periods, like 9-day, 14-day, 20-day, 50-day and 100-day. At the moment, the 14-days ATR for DSW Inc. (NYSE: DSW) is noted at 0.94.

Yes, we have a pretty in-depth story on KE7KDP thanks to Scott Avery, WA6LIE, who had the good thought of recording the pass. It turned out it was the pass where Charles asked that his "thank you" be relayed to the ham community for its support -- and Scott captured it and sent it to us as an MP3 file. If anyone else has audio of Charles making contacts -- especially school contacts -- we could really use it for a follow-up story for next week.

Massachusetts is often held up as forward thinking, but when it comes to women moving into corporate boardrooms and executive suites, Massachusetts lags behind other states, according to a report released Thursday by the Boston Club, which works for the advancement of women leaders.
More women are reaching the top echelons of the state's 100 largest public companies, the report found. But in a survey of 18 states, Massachusetts ranked eighth for percentage of women directors, according to a Boston Club analysis of data from the InterOrganization Network, a national women in business advocacy group.
Massachusetts fared even worse in the female executive and CEO categories, falling to 10th in both.
"This is a pathetic showing for a state that considers itself to be progressive," said Susan Adams, a management professor at Bentley University who conducts research for the Boston Club.
Among the states leading the way? Minnesota, Ohio, and New Jersey.
The Boston Club's 11th annual report, which analyzed company filings for the year ending June 30 , did contain some encouraging Massachusetts news. Corporate boardrooms in Massachusetts have the most women ever, with 117, or 13.8 percent of all directors, up from just 74 a decade ago. And nearly three-quarters of the 100 companies have at least one woman director, including the nine companies that are new to the list this year.
But, the report shows, there is still a long way to go. The majority of companies — 51 — have no female executive officers. And the total number of top women executives at the 100 largest companies — 76, or 10.8 percent — is still below prerecession levels of 2006 and 2007.
"When we talk about improving," Adams said, "we're still measuring with just decimal points."
Nationwide, the share of women on boards and executive committees — 17 and 15 percent, respectively — hasn't budged in years, according to the women's advocacy group Catalyst Inc.
The Boston Club named 21 companies to its "zero-zero" list, made up of firms that have no women on their boards or executive committees. EnerNOC Inc., a Boston software company that helps customers manage electricity use, is among them.
More women are going into technology today, but it's challenging to find women with enough experience to advance to the executive suite or boardroom, said Patricia O'Neill, vice president of human resources at EnerNOC.
To compensate, the company has been working to increase the number of women in upper management, forming a group dedicated to training and mentoring women, and attempting to accelerate the rate at which it moves women up the ranks.
"We're very aggressively trying to increase our representation of women," O'Neill said.
Diverse leadership not only boosts a company's bottom line, studies have shown, it can also increase a company's internal oversight and social responsibility efforts. JoAnn Cavallaro, the Boston Club president, said that too often companies make only a token effort to include women, bringing on just one woman director. But that's not enough.
Research shows that it takes at least three women in the boardroom to shift the culture of a company.
Research shows that it takes at least three women in the boardroom to shift the culture of a company, Cavallaro said. The women become more vocal, the tenor of the discussion improves, and the board becomes more effective.
"The perception of those women by male board members changes. They're looked at now as directors, not as female directors," she said. "It does signal that the company is beginning to really get it."
Of the state's 100 largest public companies, only 10 have at least three female board members. Part of the problem is the proliferation of boards made up largely of relatives or investors, as well as boards that share some of the same members — a practice Adams has dubbed "buddy boards."
Companies are usually aware of the lack of diversity on their boards, said William Bacic, chair of the Boston Club's corporate advisory board and managing partner of the New England practice at Deloitte & Touche. They say they intend to do something about it, but don't always follow through.
Bacic knows there are highly qualified women across every industry because he sees their resumes come across his desk. But his recommendations often go unheeded by executives who "take the path of who they know," he said.
Bacic said he is encouraged by the slowly increasing numbers of female board members and executives — eight of Deloitte's 21 board members are women — but realizes the Boston Club's mission is far from over.
"We're not where we need to be," he said, "so we can't let off the pedal."Katie Johnston can be reached at email@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @ktkjohnston.

If you've logged into Wikipedia recently, you might have seen the banner across the top of the page announcing the Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 Contest. I assume that many other genealogists are like me and interested in history, so this contest is probably of interest to the geneabloggers community.
The general gist of the contest is to upload a photo of a location on the National Register of Historic Places List. By doing this, you will be adding your photo into a database of freely licensed images of our nation's historic places. There aren't too many rules to the contest, but you can read them here.
Having visited a number of locations on this list, I already had some eligible photos on my computer. For example, the photo below of the John Fox House in Lexington, SC. When I uploaded the photo, only one other location in Lexington County had a photo. Now most of the locations have a photo. It looks like the contest is accomplishing its mission!

OAKLAND — The A's have shaken up baseball with the trade of their best minor league player, shortstop Addison Russell, to the Chicago Cubs for starting pitchers Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel.
The A's also gave up starting pitcher Dan Straily, who had been pitching at Triple-A Sacramento, and minor league outfielder Billy McKinney.
The outline of the deal was first published online by foxsports.com's Ken Rosenthal.
Samardzija and Hammel are top-end starting pitchers who could make the A's, who already have the best record in baseball at 53-33, strong candidates for the World Series.
How they will fit the new additions into the rotation has yet to be determined, but the A's already had a top-ranked starting rotation with Scott Kazmir, Sonny Gray, Jesse Chavez, Brad Mills and Tommy Milone.
Kazmir, Gray and Milone seem the likeliest of the starting five to hold their jobs with the additions of Samardzija and Hammel.
Samardzija, 29, is 2-7 but with a 2.83 ERA in 17 starts for Chicago. The hard-throwing right-hander has 103 strikeouts in 108 innings and was among the most coveted pitchers on the trade market.
The Cubs drafted the former Notre Dame receiver in the fifth round in 2006. He worked his way up from reliever to starter and has improved every season.
Hammel, also a right-hander is 8-5 with a 2.98 ERA in 17 starts with 104 strikeouts in 1082/3 innings.
Hammel, 31, is a free agent in 2015 and Samardzija in 2016.
Russell, 20, was the 11th overall pick in the 2012 draft. He had played in only 13 games with Double-A Midland this year because of injury problems and was hitting .333. The A's, and scouts around baseball, love his offensive capability, and he's seen as a four- or five-tool player, depending on who is doing the evaluating.
McKinney, 19, was the A's first pick in the 2013 draft, a left-handed hitting outfielder who could become a solid prospect. He was hitting .241 with 10 homers, 12 doubles and 33 RBIs for Class-A Stockton this season.
Straily, 25, finished 10-8 with a 3.96 ERA in 27 starts for the A's last year. He started this season in the Oakland rotation but struggled and was sent down to Sacramento. He's 4-3 with a 4.71 ERA for the River Cats.
The addition of two new pitchers might well force the A's to part ways with former closer Jim Johnson, who is sitting at the back end of the bullpen.
Johnson was the only reliever who didn't pitch Friday as the A's won 1-0 over Toronto in 12 innings.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The author of this piece asked to remain anonymous out of respect for (read: fear of) his employer. For now, let's just call him: Grumpy Mad Man.
The online advertising industry is full of incredibly talented, smart and fun people. I've been involved with it for over a decade myself and have made life-long friendships with many of my colleagues because of our mutual respect for one another and off-kilter senses of humor. (Queue Larry David.) Having said that, as the industry has grown over the years and more people have joined, it was inevitable for some bad apples to get through.
Yes, unfortunately the online advertising industry has been infiltrated by douchebags following the VC money. They are here, and they're here to stay. As a public service, beware of the following:
The Sleazy Affiliate Marketer
I have friends involved with affiliate marketing, but even they would admit they're on an island surrounded by a lake of Massengil. If you've ever attended an Affiliate Summit, this is not new information. I'm sure you had to shower a few times a day to try to wash the sleaze off of you, but like Lady Macbeth, unsuccessfully. The Sleazy Affiliate Marketer wears sunglasses at night and indoors, a tight t-shirt or a button-down with one too many buttons unbuttoned, and reeks of Axe Body Spray. They're here to do two things: Drink some Red Bull and send some fraudulent leads. They're almost out of Red Bull.
The Thought Leader
They write articles that get published in AdExchanger, Digiday, etc. They sit on all the panels at OMMA, Adtech, etc. Here's a thought: Stop talking, and do what you say. I'm tired of hearing pitch after pitch about how their company is changing the world with proprietary technology, but when it's time to put their money where their mouth is, nothing works. Then their reply is, "Well, we're still in the infancy of this business." It's all bullshit, and they know it. But if they can get enough clients on the line and generate enough buzz, some stupid company will acquire them with little to no due diligence.
The Newly Cool Nerd
They were nerds in high school (hey, so was I). They were nerds in college. They are still nerds, but now they make a lot of money, so society deems them cool because they drive a 7-series. The newly cool status does not suit them well. Put a little alcohol in them and their inner nerd will come out as they have not quite adapted to social norms. They might appear normal at first, donning a blazer and jeans, but if you look closer, you can see their Blackberry holster.
The Retweeter
This person reads all the industry publications, then shares or retweets the articles on Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn and labels it "Interesting" or a "Good read." They now think they look smart, because they subscribe to such prestigious journals, and if they retweet it first, it's almost as if they wrote the article themselves! Hey, retweeters, while you're reading and tweeting, the rest of us are working and actually attempting to accomplish something, so let's not get too carried away with yourselves.
The "CEO"
They hand out business cards that identify them as the CEO. However, their company consists of three people. The title makes them feel important at least.

The Humble-Bragger
Humble-bragging is when you use false humility to boast about your achievement(s). A typical humble-bragger will take to Facebook or Twitter and give an anecdote that would appear to be self-deprecating or embarrassing but slip in something that offsets any humiliation. For instance: "Falling in the pool with your clothes on sucks, but doing so at the Playboy Mansion in front of Hef is even worse." So your company paid a couple grand to rent out the Playboy Mansion for a party. Sweet. I remember the first time I had a beer with hot chicks that didn't want to talk to me. It's called my everyday life.
The Recent Grad Media Buyer
This 22-year-old kid is now in charge of a multimillion-dollar ad budget. If you're not offering free True Religion jeans or box seats at the Lakers game, don't bother talking to them. This is how media is bought and sold: complete bribery. Never has that much power been given to someone so young (outside of Ancient Egypt, I guess) and that power has certainly gone to their heads.
The "I Worked All Night on This" Idiot
This person claims they burned the midnight oil and put in a 16-hour day to work on a proposal or presentation. The finished product is complete shit. If the fruits of your labor only produce mediocre results, don't tell me you were up all night working on it. Tell me you had to handle an emergency that took priority over this and you only had 15 minutes to finish it. Because if this piece of crap is your best effort, you're fucking fired.
The C Student
This person got through high school and college on the coattails of smart people. College business classes consist of a lot of group projects. You could do zero work and still get an "A" on the project if there was at least one smart overachiever in the group. Then the "C Student" graduates get to the real world and realize nobody is going to let them get away with that anymore, so now they have to figure out how to learn and apply that learning. Or they become a phenomenal bullshitter and cross their fingers hoping people buy what they're slinging. Generally, in online advertising, it's the latter.
Yes, even girls are capable of being douchebags. These girls have been told they were hot since they could be told that without that person being called a "predator." They have never experienced true disappointment in their lives, and they aren't about to start. Maybe they don't "understand" your advertising goals or how all this fancy "technology" works, but they're hot, you're a computer nerd, and they're paying attention to you. Now, this girl who knows nothing has blown out her sales goals then proceeds to spend her commission checks on Louis Vuitton handbags, Prada shoes and other things that make her even hotter. OK, maybe I'm just a little bitter that there isn't a better thing to be in America than a hot chick.
Maybe you read through these and thought, "Hey, I do that, and I'm not a douchebag." Look, it's not a perfect science, and just because you might be an exception to the rule doesn't mean the rule doesn't exist. The fact is once enough money is involved, we all get a little douchey. You shouldn't ask yourself, "Am I a douchebag?" The question you should be asking is, "What kind of douchebag am I?"

HILLSBORO, Ore., Feb. 16, 2012 – Planners of Oregon's transportation infrastructure are leading the nation in charting a course to a cleaner energy future by selecting SolarWorld solar panels to support their multi-modal services. With unobstructed rights-of-way and heavy energy use, transportation agencies are ideal hosts of photovoltaic systems and consumers of the renewable electricity they produce. SolarWorld's high-performance solar panels, manufactured in Hillsboro, Ore., now power highway, rail and airport installations in a state renowned for its progressive urban planning. "Oregon frequently wins recognition for the excellence of its transportation systems, the livability of its cities and the foresight of its urban planning," said Gordon Brinser, president of SolarWorld Industries America Inc., the largest U.S. solar producer for more than 35 years. "It is no surprise then," Brinser said, "that forward-looking transportation agencies have not only integrated solar energy into their operations but recognized the sustainable benefits of using solar panels manufactured locally within their own state."
Transportation industry officials in 13 countries and 27 states have requested information on a large solar park built on Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) property at the Baldock Rest Area on Interstate 5 near Wilsonville. The project went online in January and will be open to the public in the spring with an interpretive display and sustainable community garden. The 1.75-megawatt system, known as the Baldock Solar Highway project, is operated by Portland General Electric. The Baldock installation, the largest of its kind in the U.S., sits atop 7 acres of formerly unused ODOT property and is composed of 6,994 SolarWorld solar panels.
Common in Europe, solar installations in highway rights-of-way were virtually unknown in this country before ODOT and PGE developed a roadside Oregon Solar Highway pilot project to help light the way for drivers at the interchange of Interstates 5 and 205 in Tualatin, north of Baldock, in 2008.
Federal Highway Administrator Victor Mendez, on hand for the Baldock project's August 2011 groundbreaking, said of the installation, "Between this project – the largest of its kind in the nation — and the solar interchange a few miles north of here, it's clear the road to the future starts here in Oregon."
TriMet, Portland's regional public transit agency, will commission a 60-kilowatt solar installation featuring SolarWorld solar panels at the South Terminus of the MAX green and yellow light-rail lines near Portland State University in late February. The system, installed by REC Solar, is the agency's first large-scale photovoltaic installation. In addition to generating more than 64,000 kilowatt-hours of solar energy each year and helping shield TriMet from rising utility rates, the graceful, curvilinear design of the installation has been hailed as public art by some local transit observers.
Portland International Airport is also home to a solar system featuring 120 SolarWorld solar panels. The 28-kilowatt ground-mount system, commissioned in December, helps power a treatment facility for the airport's newly expanded de-icing stormwater collection system. The facility treats runoff containing the de-icing chemicals used on the airfield and aircraft to enhance flight safety when the weather turns cold. A Blue Sky renewable energy grant from Pacific Power helped cover the installation cost.
Oregon-based Advanced Energy Systems, a SolarWorld authorized installer, constructed both the ODOT and the PDX systems. "These transportation solar projects represent sound public-private partnerships for the deployment of clean and renewable energy in Oregon," said Eric Nill, the company's CEO. "Our team is proud to install Oregon-made SolarWorld PV modules at these sites, recognizing their positive impact on local employment and on our region's energy independence."
SolarWorld manufactures and sells solar power solutions and in doing so contributes to a cleaner energy supply worldwide. As the largest solar producer in the United States and Europe, SolarWorld employs about 3,200 people and carries out production in Hillsboro, Ore., and Freiberg and Arnstadt, Germany. From the raw material silicon to solar wafers, cells and panels, SolarWorld manages all stages of production ‒ including its own research and development. The company maintains high social standards at all locations across the globe and is committed to resource- and energy-efficient production. Headquartered in Bonn, Germany, SolarWorld was founded in 1998 and has been publicly traded on the stock market since 1999. For more information, visit www.solarworld-usa.com.
