In the cleantech sector, pretty much everyone knows the acronym RPS, for Renewable Portfolio Standards. Since the first RPS policy in the U.S., implemented in Iowa in the late 1990s, 30 states have passed similar policies to promote the installation of renewable energy projects and expedite penetration (overcoming the ambivalence or outright opposition of utilities) of renewable energy in electric power supply.

Southwest needs power lines to become solar hub
"For most of these states, they're looking at it for economic development and job creation," Ghassemi said, underscoring the reasons why solutions such as cost incentives and utility quotas haven't helped states like New Mexico catch up to California and New Jersey, an unlikely solar leader.
The Economics of Installing Solar
The big question for any homeowner considering installing solar power is a simple one: How quickly will the system pay for itself?
The short answer: It depends on where you live.
Bright Idea: La Feria utility plants harness solar energy
Residents here probably won't notice that their water and sewage treatment systems will soon be powered by fields of solar panels but a project to convert the plants is nearing completion.
Solar panels to save UF money
New solar panels will be installed at the University of Florida by the end of November, reducing the university's energy costs and serving as a teaching tool for professors and students.
State Officials Look for Path to Rescue Market for Solar Incentives
The market that New Jersey officials set up to subsidize solar energy needs a rescue or there will be disastrous layoffs in the industry, business leaders, politicians and regulators say.
Branchburg Hopes Solar Panels Will Save Community Some Cash
The township is putting the finishing touches on a solar panel array designed to power almost all of the Branchburg municipal building on Route 202 — a project officials say could drop energy costs by at least $5,000 a month.
Saudi Arabia Plans $109 Billion Boost for Solar Power
Saudi Arabia is seeking investors for a $109 billion plan to create a solar industry that generates a third of the nation's electricity by 2032, according to officials at the agency developing the plan.
Solar Installers Offer Deals, Gaining Converts
Jay Nuzzi, a New Jersey state trooper, had put off installing solar panels on his home here for years, deterred by the $70,000 it could cost. Then on a trip to Home Depot, he stumbled across a booth for Roof Diagnostics, which offered him a solar system at a price he couldn't refuse: free.
Obama Presses Congress to Extend Energy Tax Incentives
President Obama is urging Congress to extend tax breaks for wind power projects that are slated to expire at year's end and expand stimulus-law tax incentives for manufacturing green energy components.

Oil price down on Fed policy concerns
Monday - 3/11/2013, 1:08pm EDT
Associated Press
The price of oil fell slightly Monday after strong jobs growth in the U.S. sparked speculation of an earlier end to the Federal Reserve's loose monetary policy.
By early afternoon in Europe, the benchmark oil contract for April delivery was down 11 cents to $91.84 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
The contract rose 39 cents on Friday after the U.S. government said employers added 236,000 jobs in February, far exceeding predictions. The unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent from 7.9 percent.
While the improved jobs picture bodes well for growth, analysts said it could also signal an earlier end to the Fed's bond-buying program, dubbed quantitative easing, which has been instrumental in propping up the U.S. economy since the 2008 global financial crisis.
Caroline Bain, commodities analyst at Economist Intelligence Unit, said that if U.S. economic data continues to be strong, investors might anticipate that quantitative easing would be wound down "sooner rather than later and this would be negative for oil prices as it suggests lower investor inflows."
The Fed's policy of keeping interest rates near record lows and pumping new money into the economy is meant to boost lending and investment. But it also serves to draw money away from bonds and into stocks and commodities.
Recent gains by the dollar against the Japanese yen and the euro also put pressure on oil prices. A stronger dollar makes oil a less enticing investment for traders using those other currencies, since oil is traded in dollars.
"Rather than benefiting like the equity markets from the positive U.S. labor market data and the resulting rosier demand prospects in the world's largest oil consumer, oil prices are under pressure from a firmer U.S. dollar and speculation about a premature end to the Fed's bond purchasing program," said a report from Commerzbank in Frankfurt.
Brent crude, used to price many kinds of oil imported by U.S. refineries, was down 52 cents to $110.33 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on the Nymex:
-- Wholesale gasoline added 3.85 cents to $3.242 a gallon.
-- Heating oil gained 0.26 cent to $2.9775 a gallon.
-- Natural gas lost 0.9 cent to $3.62 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Voters were standing in line as early as 6 a.m. for polls opening at 7 a.m. Tuesday morning in the nation's historic 2008 Presidential Election.
Plans submitted last week call for the local government building to be renamed in honor of Dawson County's last sole commissioner.
The Dawson County Board of Commissioners approved a site plan Oct. 16 that includes a portion of downtown land currently owned by the Turner family for the new 1-cent tax approved courthouse.

The G.L. Pete Gilleland Council Chambers at the Dawsonville Municipal Complex, 6 p.m.

Despite protests from Dawson County officials concerning recent annexation requests, Dawsonville continues to receive applications from people who want to live in the city limits.
The city of Dawsonville held a public hearing Monday night on a Dawson County-contested annexation of 37 acres on Duck Thurmond Road.
Commissioners last week voted to deny the application from a county resident that wants to annex his west side property in the city of Dawsonville.
At least six retail shops, including three restaurants, have contracts or commitments in place to be among the first to open in a new commercial development on Ga. 400.

Some Dawson County residents may see a slight property tax increase following the county commission's vote last week to set the millage rate at 8.138 mills.

Don't fret! Check out these suggested similar and related items below. Happy shopping!
E-Cloth - Shower Pack - 2 Cloths
E-Cloth Shower Pack includes a general cleaning cloth, with easy-hang loop and suction cup. The second cloth is for shower doors and walls giving a final polish to shower controls and other shiny surfaces, all using just water. E-Cloth Shower Pack cleans more thoroughly in less time.
Where to Use: General Shower Cleaning - all surfaces: Tile, Granite, Slate, Glass, Ceramic and shower fixtures
Shower cleaning is consistently rated as one of the least desirable cleaning chores. Not anymore. e-cloth's superior microscopic texturing easily penetrates hard to remove soap scum, built up grime and water marks. Remarkably, the only cleaning companions are water, and you, so there are neither harmful chemical fumes nor any chemical residue left behind. The Shower Cloth is for thick grease and dirt. It comes with a handy grommet and power suction hook for hanging on any hard surface. The Glass & Polishing Cloth is for light cleaning and final polishing. (Not for use on electronic screens and delicate lenses.) E-Cloths really are different and give a fantastic chemical free clean with just water. If you take care of them they will last for years. e-cloths work so well that you will get a lint-free, smear-free clean with just water.
E-Cloth microfiber cloths are made of millions of tiny fibers that pick up dirt which normal cloths just leave behind. Each fiber is about 1/200th the width of a human hair. These tiny fibers attract moisture and oil, lifts and traps dirt, grease, grime and bacteria. Leaving your surface clean and polished with no chemical residue left behind. This process is healthier with no chemicals used. There is no chance for potentially harmful fumes and residue. This is important to children, as well as allergy and asthma sufferers.
Shower Cloth (Ivory): For daily use on a wet shower. For a thorough clean, wet the cloth, wring out all excess water, fold and use as a pad. Finish wiping with dry Glass & Polishing Cloth. Glass & Polishing Cloth (Blue): Use dry. Use directly after the Shower Cloth or, alternatively, spray water using E-cloth Water Atomizer onto the surface to be cleaned, fold the cloth and wipe. Care & Laundering:To ensure your e-cloths perform at their best, we recommend machine washing. With certain new washing powders, you can was as low as 85 degrees F, however for best results with normal detergents, wash at 140 degrees F. For a full clean or if the cloth loses performance, it may be washed at 200 degrees, or boiled in a saucepan.
A warm rinse is often enough for day-to-day use.
Use only a small amount of detergent and rinse well. Tumble or hang dry.
DO NOT use bleach or fabric softener. Bleach breaks down the fibers and fabric softeners will block the fibers. If fabric softener is used by mistake, rewash with a little detergent.
Note: Color may run, initial washes should be separate at low temperature. For washing machines, a laundry bag is recommended.

Joining the St. Marys Area Ambulance Service benefits individuals by reducing the amount they have to pay in the event of an emergency; however, the membership funds are also crucial to the ambulance service because they allow for the purchase of new equipment.
According to St. Marys Area Ambulance Service Manager Bert Sorg, all of the service's equipment is purchased with membership funds and it is important for items to continually be updated in order to provide the best service to area residents.
As part of its 23rd annual Women's Recognition Dinner, the St. Marys Area Chamber of Commerce's dinner organizing committee has chosen to go green with an environmental theme, "Flowers Feed the Soul."
The dinner is set for Wednesday, April 27 at the Diamond View Restaurant, starting with a cash bar at 5:30 p.m. followed by a dinner at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 and are available by contacting the Chamber office at 781-3804. The deadline to purchase tickets is Thursday, April 21.
The Elk County Historical Society held its 47th annual dinner Friday night at The Royal Inn in memory of Alice Wessman-Saline, a charter member of the organization.
The dinner began with an invocation by pastor Craig Duffield of the Evangelical Covenant Church.
Guests were welcomed by society director Mary Kalinowski.
Wessman-Saline was born in Ridgway on Christmas Day in 1924. She was a graduate of the Ridgway High School and the DuBois Business College.
The St. Marys Area Flying Dutch tennis team improved to 2-0 on the season with an 8-1 victory over the Elk County Catholic Crusaders Friday afternoon in a match played at the SMAHS courts.
At first singles, Dutchman Nathan Hansen defeated Shane Mancuso 6-0, 6-3.
At second singles, SMA's Brandon Romain defeated Ben Wortman 6-1, 6-0.
Dutchman Keith Meyer won his match 6-0, 6-0 over Nate Dattoli at third singles.
At fourth singles, Dutchman Dylan Wiesner defeated Scott Reichard 6-0, 6-2.
Thomas Murmann of the Dutch downed Jon Leuschel 6-3, 6-0 at fifth singles.
St. Marys Area's Rachel Ginther pitched a perfect game on Friday afternoon as the St. Marys Area Lady Dutch recorded a five-inning, 10-0 victory over the Cameron County Lady Raiders at the softball field at St. Marys Area High School.
Ginther faced only 15 batters in the five-inning game, striking out 12 of the 15. Only three batters were able to put the ball in play; two of the hits were infield grounders and one was a fly ball to center field.
Elk County Catholic used two big innings and dominant pitching for an 11-1, 5-inning win over Ridgway Friday afternoon at Sandy Beach Recrational Park.
Ben Daghir threw four innings and gave up three hits, walking none and striking out seven. He was 1-for-2 with two runs scored and one RBI in addition to a walk.
Taylor Schlimm of Elk County Catholic recorded her third straight shutout win as the Lady Crusaders nipped the Ridgway Lady Elkers by a 2-0 score in a softball game played on Friday afternoon at the Benzinger Park field.
Schlimm and Taylor Rosetto of Ridgway were locked in a pitchers' duel through the contest, as both hurlers pitched excellent games. Schlimm gave up four hits, struck out 10 and issued no walks in the game. Rosetto allowed just three hits and struck out 12 while issuing three walks and hitting two batters.
The St. Marys Area Flying Dutch baseball team suffered their first loss of the season Friday as the State College Little Lions downed the Dutch by an 11-1 score in five innings at Berwind Park.
This was the Dutchmen's first complete game, as their game Tuesday against Punxsutawney was suspended after 2 1/2 innings due to unplayable conditions.
The Dutch gave up 12 walks and one hit batsman, which the Little Lions capitalized on.
"We knew pitching and defense would be a soft spot this season," said St. Marys coach Tony Azzato.
Area residents may have noticed that candidates' political signs for the upcoming primary election on May 17 have already begun to appear in various locations throughout the city, even though the election is still over a month away.
While the section of the city's sign ordinance pertaining to temporary signs allows candidates to display an unlimited number of political signs, it also stipulates that "such signs may only be displayed between 30 days prior to and 5 days after an election."
Joseph G. Hnath, 83, of 999 Brusselles St., St. Marys, died unexpectedly on Friday, April 15, 2011 at his residence.
He was born May 13, 1927, in St. Marys, son of the late Joseph and Mary Bures Hnath. On May 20, 1950, in the Sacred Heart Church, he married Irene Cornello, who survives.
He was a lifelong resident of the area and attended St. Marys schools. He was a retired employee of the Stackpole Carbon Co., retiring in 1990 after 41 years of service.

TEAMS: Pittsburgh Pirates
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Pirates
With his four hits last night, Brock Holt quickly ascended to the top of every single Pirate fan's "Please tell me this guy can be better than Clint Barmes when Neil Walker comes back" list. Because of the Pirates' utter lack of shortstop depth in the minors before Alen Hanson's emergence this year (and maybe again after Hanson makes what seems like an inevitable move to second base) I've been keeping an eye on Holt since he was drafted in the 9th round of the 2009 draft in the same way that I tried to keep tabs on Jordy Mercer and Chase d'Arnaud before him; I don't always write about prospects here but he's definitely one of the few guys I tried to keep an eye on beyond the obvious top prospects. Let's get a Brock Holt career history out of the way here. He signed quickly after being drafted in 2009 and went to State College, just like you'd expect a college draftee to do. He performed pretty well there, hitting .299/.361/.449 with six ...

Summer comes rolling around and it's as though there is a boat infestation in your city. You see boats in driveways and in the ocean or on the lake stretching their muscles after a nice hibernation during the winter. Believe it or not, some of those boats have high powered amplifiers running extensive marine audio sound systems, not unlike a car audio sound system. You will often see two identical amplifiers with one labeled "Marine" that has a different color scheme then its car audio counterpart. With all the specifications being the same, what is the difference between a marine certified amplifier and a normal car audio amplifier?
The difference is going to be additives to the circuit boards of the amplifiers. Internally, the circuitry will be the same for both marine and car audio amplifiers which mean power ratings and specifications will be the same as well. The marine environment is harsh because of salt and water combined with harmful UV radiation. Most circuit boards are conformal coated, which is a protective coating that gets into the nooks of the board without interfering with its function. Protection from moisture is the name of the game and you will find many different coatings that do just that. Any number of materials can be used, such as epoxies, acrylics and even silicon to keep saltwater out and balance the temperature of the amplifier.
In a nutshell, the difference is more protection from the harsh elements of the marine environment. These amplifiers can be used in off road vehicles, boats, RVs and anything that experiences the outside world, even your car. Is it worth the few extra bucks for the added protection? Yes it is! Amplifiers and moisture do not mix and turning on your system to impress your friends only to find a blown amplifier is just not cool.

text: my brother went to Rita's to get italian ice, and his friend called and said to get him some. the cashier said, "i have an idea" and put a kid-size cup inside of the regular cup, then filled the remaining inch with lemon italian ice. she gave it to my brother for free, because it was just too good of a prank. his friend almost cried when he found the cup inside after eating only 3 spoonfuls of ice.

Quentin shrugs with this look on his face like he's choking on a giggle. Quentin often looks like he's choking on a giggle. It's a very mischievous look. The reason for Quentin slipping away is, without Rhonda here there is no one for him to hang out gossiping with while me and Dashiell and my vibrator have our ménage a trios. So he's just going to go.
I feel sorry or awkward, but Quentin assures me he's into slipping out while me and Dashiell canoodle: "It makes me feel like your mother," he says, "Which I like."
Dashiell does a boss job impregnating me with the baby syringe, and then snuggles close while I do my business. The door clicks behind Quentin.
Dashiell's apartment is so peaceful, set far back from the street, facing a garden with lemon trees and chickens. She has to be there early to walk her small dog anyway, another reason she can't stay over. She kisses me goodbye and shuffles out of my house like a male model, all lanky and handsome and timelessly dashing. I fall asleep feeling like a princess, hoping that deep inside my body a microscopic tadpole has busted into into my cervix and is making the 10-hour swim to meet my pending egg.
"Are you pregnant yet?" she asks. "Have you bought Quentin a bus pass at least?"
I talk to my sister, who brings up IUIs -- Intrauterine Insemination -- where the doctor washes the sperm (getting rid of mucus and any deadbeat swimmers) and then shoots it right into your cervix. Maybe it's like $600 a pop, my sister says, she's not sure. I can get my head around $600. I've got some savings -- what am I saving for if not something like this? I'm not ready to investigate it, but I like knowing it's there.
My pee sticks are making me crazy. When I notice the line darken a little I get excited and decide I'm ovulating, even though the instructions CLEARLY say that my pee line has to be AS DARK OR DARKER than the control line. It's not. It's just, like, a little darker, and I get all freaked out and amped like I'm ovulating and start begging Quentin to come over every day, which he does, even though the holidays are now officially here and he is busier than ever.
I think about Tali's suggestion that I buy him a bus pass. It just seems so tacky. I do get Quentin a holiday gift, though, a Tarot card reading manual. He is so sweetly surprised to get a gift!
"Quentin, you are giving me the biggest gift of all, " I say. "The gift of life."
For Rhonda I grab the new Babycakes cookbook so she can bake herself a bunch of bingeworthy gluten-free treats, and I get Dashiell a very lovely French perfume, the kind that comes with a story, like, 'This is the scent of a wild albino stag dashing alongside a creek northeast of Provence, where his cloven hooves, clumped with the rich and fertile earth, tramples a bed of violets."
I was a little nervous, getting Dashiell a perfume. What if she thinks I think she stinks? Once I bought my friend Beezus soap for her birthday and she said, "What, do you think I'm dirty or something?" The thing is, Dashiell DOES stink. She smells like heaven. She smells like impeccable grooming, like she's sweating the very goodness of her soul from her pores.
Dashiell loves smells, and its because of that I want to get her a special perfume, but what if I pick one she doesn't like? I narrow my odds by hitting the perfume counter at Barneys. You can't not like a perfume from Barneys because every flacon they stock is some sort of perfection. The manliest man on staff helped me and I used him as a bit of a barometer -- Would you wear this? I asked.
"Nah, too sweet for me," he said. Thus dude doesn't want to smell like a girl, and neither does Dashiell. I settle on the bottle that smells like albino stag and violets.
You know that feeling you have, that everyone with money knows all this stuff that you don't know and you'll always be a bumbling hick who doesn't know the secret handshake? Well, you will still have that feeling. But you will have it a little bit less.
I apologize for the state of my kitchen floor -- I actually washed it, but the cleaner that comes with my battery-powered Swiffer smells so gross I'm afraid he'll pass out from the fumes all locked up in there doing his business. Or that it will somehow damage his sperm count.
"How are you going to take your cobbler out," Quentin asks. "If you have your legs up for a half hour?"
"Why don't I put it in for you before I go?" Quentin offers. Oh my god! What a doll! What a Christmas miracle! 'Oh hey, I'm Quentin, just stopping by to put a bun AND a crumble in your metaphorical and actual ovens!' Amazing.
Later he confesses he was stoned the night he came over from "The Golden Girls," and his guilt prodded him to help out with the crumble.
"Thanks!" I suck the stuff up into the syringe, it's sort of fun, like a game, a game of Get All The Sperm! I think I do. I lay back and inseminate myself.
Controlling the syringe, I feel like I can get it up there really deep, but maybe my plunge isn't quite as powerful? I lay back for 30 minutes, kicking my legs up into a wonked shoulder stand while the sugary smell of crumble seeps out of the kitchen and into my apartment. I love my team, but inseminating myself was fun.
My acupuncture right around now is the special acupuncture they give you when you know (or in my case, hope/hallucinate) you are ovulating. A row of needles across my belly. Needles in my feet, needles in my ear. In the communal acupuncture room at SF Community Acupuncture I lay back in my reclining recliner and slide into that waking-dreaming state.
I feel like I can really feel it -- a certain energy humming up inside me. It almost feels like being really turned on, but it's different than that. Or rather, it is that, but it's something else, too. It's energy, swirling energy.
"We're nourishing your uterus," the acupuncturist said as she tapped the needles in. She'd also said, "I love making babies. The results are so visible."
So many people seek acupuncture for subtle reasons, I can imagine it's very satisfying to watch one of your clients come in with an ever-swelling belly. I can't wait til I'm one of them.
It makes me wiggle in the couch, jostling Dashiell who is sleeping because she tends to fall asleep when we watch a movie together.

YOU should be so accomplished. Only in your wakadoodle dreams.
I think I sense some very sour grapes.
Utopia is just around the corner, addict.
Think again.
The DC Circuit Court of Appeals today unanimously slapped down the controversial "recess" appointments President Obama made to the National Labor Relations Board way back in early January of 2012, in what the Associated Press rightly calls an "embarrassing setback." Indeed, if the Supreme Court upholds the decision, it very well may nullify everything the board has done since the appointments, as it won't have actually had the quorum of three members required to issue regulations. Ouch.
The unanimous decision is an embarrassing setback for the president, who made the appointments after Senate Republicans spent months blocking...

The to-be one-month old twins were born on Feb. 22. They were Lopez' first.
Let's pray for J. Lo that her twins both end up looking like her not papa Marc!

We arrived in Miami 6/23 and spent the night in South Beach. Oh boy what an eye opening experience.
Sunday morning we had breakfast in South Beach, then took a taxi to the port around 11AM. Maybe a 10 or fifteen minute drive. Dropped our luggage with porter and headed to the check-in counter. We were onboard within 25 minutes of arriving at the port. We could not gain access to our room till 1:30, so we began to explore the ship, and of course had lunch. First impressions are lasting. Ship was extremely clean, and remained that way through-out the cruise. Made spa and dinner appointments and headed to our room.
The room was on the Empress deck #7 in the middle aft. Room was clean and nice. Did not have a love seat as shown in the room description, but still roomy. Balcony was good size. However limited use of seating because the soot from the stack coated the seat. But we did find this out while using the comfy complimentary robes provided by the cruise line.
Dinning experience was better than expected. Although the system of servers was different than we are accustomed to. Our servers Andre, and Jose were awesome.
Rosies (the buffet restaurant) was a great experience throughout the cruise. omelettes were available as well as typical buffet items.
Monday was day at sea.
Tuesday Grand Cayman. Swam with the stingrays, and went to turtle farm. Of course had to purchase Margaritaville shirt.
Thursday Belize. Rain and Lightening so snorkeling event canceled. So we took the tender ashore. Had the taxi ride from HELL. $100.00 plus $10.00 for gas, and we saw the crime district, and the major crime district. very disappointing. However this tour was not arranged by the cruise line so no reflection on Carnival. But learn from my mistake!
Friday Costa Maya. Swam with the Dolphins. AWSUM experience. Also bought the $168.00 CD. This port was awesome! They had a salt water pool and some nice shops for the cruisers to enjoy.
Saturday. Day at sea.
Entertainment by the cruise entertainers was awesome. The ventriloquist, and sword swallower was great. comedians left a lot to be desired.
The only item that was disturbing was no adult pool area. All pools were filled with children diving, and jumping in the pools. Carnival provided a water slide, and a childrens area. But no where could you "chill" on the ship without getting jumped on, kicked, or splashed constantly. They did have an adults on hot tub which they were good at monitoring.
Disembarkation was a dream. Although we did not get called off the ship till 10AM we where allowed to stay in our room until called. Nice arrangement.
Got through customs very quickly. Carnival did a good job of maintaining a good flow through terminal. We wanted a cab but were directed to a van. 12 passenger van crammed with 14 passengers. NOT a Carnival means of transportation. We were directed by a sign after requesting cab. Cabs were a short walk to the right. We will know the next time.
All in all we would not hesitate using Carnival again.

Sunday 06.07.14 - 16:00 - Arena
Deerhunter stick to the virtues of alternative rock while their fan base keeps on growing. The lads have become a household name with a series of diverse, loud and warmly melodic albums.
Lead singer and gifted songwriter Bradford Cox is a rather unique phenomenon. Imagine a cross between Iggy Pop and Karen O, and you may have an impression of this uncompromising performer.
Deerhunter are capable of true pop songwriting. At the same time the ethos of punk and garage rock remains as their philosophy and musical guideline.

Savinelli 90+ Rated Blowout
Boxes as low as $39.99
5 Blends – 15 Options – Save up to 75%
Surely you've heard of the legendary Italian pipe maker, Savinelli, a brand that's been top dog in the pipe world since 1876. I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is the biggest, the best-known, and the most respected pipe maker on the planet. Well, here's the rest of the tale.
About 20 years ago, they (smartly) decided to throw their hat into the world of cigars, too. So they partnered with the most respected cigar makers to get the job done right: Arturo Fuente, Oliva, Plasencia, and La Aurora, just to name a few. For years, the brands were tremendously popular, selling like crazy and earning thirteen 90+ ratings along the way. And they still have a very loyal following. But the time and effort needed to do the job correctly diverted their focus away from what they do best: craft the world's finest pipes. So they decided to call it quits in the cigar biz and get back to basics.
This is where the story gets really juicy. Recently, I was approached and given the opportunity to buy all of their remaining inventory. You've heard this story 1,000 times before, and it never gets old: I made a scandalous offer, they accepted, and now I'm serving up boxes for a fraction of what they're worth. MSRPs up to $240 and prices as low as $39.99 per box. A massive stockpile of 5 blends for a total of 15 options, with savings up to 75%. These are guaranteed to fly off the shelves, and before you know it they'll be gone forever. This is an epic opportunity to enjoy a 90+ rated family of blends for pennies on the dollar before they're all gone, baby, gone. Don't wait – get yours while you still can.
Savinelli Nicaraguan Reserve 2007: 91-rated. A Nicaraguan puro that's beautifully constructed, this vintage blend offers notes of roasted nuts, wood, sweetness, and a slightly floral finish.
Savinelli Dos Campeones: 92-rated. Two blends in one box – the Coraje and the Sixto - 10 cigars of each. Both feature an Ecuadorian wrapper and all-Nicaraguan long-fillers.
Coraje - Full-bodied. Rich and earthy with smoky-sweet notes and a hint of roasted coffee.
Sixto - Medium to full-bodied. Smooth and complex with nuances of fruit, wood, and leather.
Savinelli Special Selection 2006: Made by Oliva in Nicaragua. Features an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper and a vintage blend of Nicaraguan long-fillers from 2006. Expect a rich, medium-bodied experience that's elegant, refined, and loaded with notes of coffee, earth, black pepper, and wood.
Savinelli 20th Anniversary: Made by Oliva in Nicaragua. A perfect blend of Ecuadorian Habano wrappers and all Nicaraguan long-fillers, this medium to full-bodied offering presents a delicious array of cedar, earth, espresso, pepper, and sweetness. Only 500 boxes per size were created.
Savinelli ELR: 91-rated. Made in the Dominican Republic by Arturo Fuente. Features a pristine USA Connecticut shade wrapper and all Dominican long-fillers to create a smooth, creamy smoke with hints of spice and coffee.

PITTSBURGH (UPI) — Childhood adversity can lead to chronic physical and mental disability in adult life and have an effect on the next generation, U.S. researchers say.
Dr. David A. Brent of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, and co-author Dr. Michael Silverstein of the Boston University School of Medicine said early child adversity — defined as child maltreatment, exposure to domestic violence or living with a household member with serious mental illness — has been linked to myriad chronic conditions associated with premature death.
In addition, exposure to adversity was linked to later smoking, substance abuse, obesity, cardiovascular disease, depression and attempted suicide.
The researchers said causal pathways between early adversity and these multiple outcomes are thought to be mediated by changes in stress responsivity. Animal models demonstrated these effects are transmitted from parent to child through epigenetic — the effect of environment on gene expression — mechanisms, the researchers said.
"The good news is that, if detected early enough, the impact of family adversity on child health outcomes can be reversed, or at least attenuated. For example, if maternal depression is treated to remission, the patients' children show symptomatic and functional gains," the study authors wrote in the study.
"Economic interventions that provide local employment and move parents out of poverty have been shown to be temporally related to a decreased risk for behavioral disorders in the children of the assisted families."
The economic cost — in excess healthcare utilization, non-response to treatment, incarceration, loss of employment, decrease in productivity and disability — weighs heavily on families burdened with adversity but ultimately is borne by society as a whole, the researchers said. In the drive to improve quality of healthcare and contain costs, the huge price tag to society of early adversity cannot be neglected, the researchers added.
The findings were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

PLAYERS: Mike Tomlin, Ben Roethlisberger
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers
Mike Tomlin isn't a believer in the read option scheme that has taken the league by storm, and turned the QB position on its head. The two time winning Superbowl coach is anything but sold on the option play, compared to traditional pocket play. As reported by USA Today Tomlin said the following while at a Tuesday media session for AFC coaches at the NFL Owners' meeting: "I think the read-option is the flavor of the month…We'll see whether it's the flavor of the year. A few years ago, people were talking wildly about the Wildcat. It's less of a discussion now." "I think there are coaches in rooms preparing themselves to defend it, there are coaches in rooms also preparing to run it. I think it's going to sort out on the grass." Tomlin's views on the scheme are skeptical at best as the injury risk associated with the read option leave its future very much up in the air. Tomlin continued: "I always take a skeptical approach,…We'll see if guys are committed to getting their guys hit, because when you run the read-option, obviously they are runners and there's something that's associated with that." This is somewhat easy for Tomlin to say, considering the fact that he has one of the premier scrambler QB's in the game in Ben Roethlisberger, who can execute off the scramble and in the pocket–oh, and the fact he's got the build of a linebacker helps his case as well. Is there true validity to Tomlin's statement, is the read option just the 'shiny new toy' of the NFL that will be all the rage for a today then gone tomorrow?

Kris Duggan, CEO of Badgeville, a company based in Menlo Park, California. Michael del Castillo
Gamification is one of those buzzwords of the tech entrepreneurial space that you just can't get away from these days. But is it a concept all startups—or, for that matter, established companies—need to embrace right now?
Not necessarily, says Kris Duggan, chief executive of Badgeville, a Menlo Park, California-based company that specializes in using game mechanics to influence user and employee behavior. Among Badgeville's clients are billion-dollar giants like Samsung and startups like Appirio, a cloud platform company for business that has raised $76.7 million.
With an estimated 70 percent of the world's top 2,000 public companies expected to embrace some form of gamification by 2014, how is a startup founder with limited resources, but who wants to stay on the cutting edge of tech trends, supposed to know when they're big enough to engage in gamification of their own?
Duggan, who presented at the Pivot Conference in New York City today and spoke with the Upstart Business Journal following his address, said the answer to that question is simple. It's all a matter of making sure your priorities are in order.
"If you don't have any product reviews on your site, don't buy gamification," said Duggan, who highlighted one statistic that fewer than seven percent of brands use product reviews. "Invest in product reviews," he continued, "And once you've nailed product reviews, then you can start thinking about gamification."
Duggan told Upstart he expects that earning points and advancing to different levels as a form of establishing expertise will eventually spread to all aspects of business. And with research firm M2 projecting that the industry will increase from an estimated market size of $242 million this year to $2.8 billion by the end of 2016, he's not alone in his appraisal.
Michael earned his BA from Mercer University, along the way excavating a Roman bathhouse with the American School of Archaeology. Plus, he provided security at Oxford University, where he also studied literature and philosophy. He earned his MS from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism while training for and running in the New York marathon.

Dr. Don,
My husband and I want to obtain some money to
pay off credit debt and also upgrade our home that we purchased
six months ago. My question is: Which would affect our credit score
more, a HELOC or to refinance our first and second mortgage loans
into one loan and use some of the equity to do this? Someone told
me that a HELOC looks like a big credit card debt.
-- Lisa Loanable
That said, I'm concerned that you've only owned this
house six months, you already have a first and second mortgage,
and you're looking to tap your equity yet again to restructure your
credit card debt and renovate the home. A HELOC would actually be
a third mortgage, with the first and second mortgage having priority
in a default situation. Sitting third chair instead of second will
make the HELOC a riskier loan with a higher interest rate.
A cash-out refinancing of the existing first and second
mortgage can get you past the third mortgage issue, but the closing
costs on a first mortgage are going to be substantially higher than
a HELOC. Let's just say that it's an additional $3,000 to do a cash-out
refinancing. That's money that could be going toward paying down
your credit card debt or funding the upgrades on your home. You
need pretty compelling reasons to refinance when you're only six
months into a mortgage loan.
Trying to decide which method of financing will best
protect your credit score is a little backward. You need the good
credit score to get the best financing now. Worrying about the loan's
impact on your credit score going forward means you're anticipating
the next loan. After six months and a potential third visit to the
mortgage markets, you should plan on taking a breather.
Getting back to your actual question, a HELOC doesn't
look like a big credit card debt because it's backed by a security
interest in your home. As long as you haven't forayed into borrowing
more than your home is worth with a 125-percent loan-to-value HELOC,
the equity backing of the secured debt isn't as risky as a like
amount of unsecured debt.
The HELOC and credit cards are alike in that they
are both lines of credit and the size of the lines and the amount
of available balances will impact your credit score. Using a HELOC
to restructure your credit card debt will free up available balances
on your credit cards, but having a third mortgage isn't likely to
help your credit score.

Diarrhea and Lactose Intolerance: When Dairy Is the Problem
Milk may do a body good, but not if you're one of 30 million to 50 million people who suffers from lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance results from an inability to digest the natural sugar (lactose) found in milk and milk products. Lactose intolerance symptoms can include bloating, diarrhea, gas, and cramping. But there are ways to manage lactose intolerance while reaping the nutritional benefits of dairy products.
What Causes Lactose Intolerance?
Lactose is the natural sugar found in milk and dairy products. Lactase, an enzyme in the small intestine, is needed to break down the sugars for full digestion and absorption into the body. If you don't have enough of the enzyme, you may get diarrhea and upset stomach when you eat or drink dairy products – although not everyone with a lactase deficiency has lactose intolerance symptoms. You may experience mild, moderate, or severe symptoms, depending on how much lactase your body produces.
Most people develop low lactase levels during mid-childhood (around age 5). In some people, low levels continue into adulthood.
Lactase deficiency can also be caused by:
- Genetics: Although rare, some people may be born with a gene mutation that prevents them from producing lactase. Affected babies usually have diarrhea from birth.
- Premature birth: Premature babies may not produce enough lactase at first. In these cases, the amount of lactase produced increases with time.
- Other health conditions: Certain diseases, such as celiac disease, inflammatory bowel syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and Crohn's disease, as well as injuries to the small intestine, can lead to a reduction in the production of lactase.
Lactose intolerance is less likely to affect people of northern European descent. Those most likely to experience lactose intolerance symptoms include:
- African-Americans: They are up to 80% more likely to be lactose intolerant that others.
- Asian-Americans: They are 90%-100% more likely to be lactose intolerant.
- Native Americans: They are 80%-100% percent more likely to be lactose intolerant.
How Can I Control Lactose Intolerance Symptoms?
If you are lactose intolerant, you may experience mild to severe symptoms, including diarrhea, between 30 minutes to two hours after eating or drinking dairy products. Other symptoms may include nausea, bloating, stomach cramps, and gas.
You can control lactose intolerance symptoms by making changes in your diet, such as eliminating dairy products. However, you may find that you do not have to eliminate dairy entirely. For example, you may discover that some cheeses, like Swiss, cheddar, feta or goat cheeses, don't bother you, while other ones cause symptoms. Or you may be able to have one glass of milk but not more.
Other strategies for controlling lactose intolerance symptoms include:
- Eating and drinking lactose-free milk and dairy products (available at most grocery stores) such as soy or rice milk and soy cheese
- Eating a solid food with a dairy product (such as cereal with milk)
- Taking a lactase enzyme (available as over-the-counter tablets or liquid at drug stores) when you eat dairy

This collection highlights some of the best of the Charleston Museum Archives. Currently featured is the Charleston Signal Book. The Signal Book was kept by Union Officer Ensign LaRue P Adams during the Siege of Charleston between August and September of 1863.
These images are from the collection of photographs relating to Charleston area forts, specifically Fort Sumter, Fort Moultrie and Fort Johnson.
These images are from the collection of illustrated newspapers, primarily Harper's Weekly and Frank Leslie's, housed in the archives at the Charleston Museum.
The collection contains Civil War correspondence from two Furman University alumni:
Samuel Pringle Letters: Samuel McBride Pringle was born December 7, 1839 and enrolled at Furman University in 1859. He left Furman in the spring of 1861 to join the Confederate Army. Pringle was wounded at the Battle of Antietam and never recovered. He died on September 24, 1862. The letters he wrote to his family during the Civil War have been digitized from the Samuel McBride Pringle Collection in the Furman Special Collections and Archives.
This collection contains the mementos Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin Franklin Eshleman, a former commander of the Washington Artillery battalion, saved in his scrapbook. It portrays a civil war colonel's dedication to preserving the memory of his unit along with a larger more important purpose of memorializing the era of the confederate soldier. The scrapbook and papers were handed down the familial line from Eshleman to his daughter and eventually given to the University of South Carolina Beaufort (USCB) by the generous donation of Jack and Mindy Castles.
This searchable collection of Columbia City Directories from 1859 is an invaluable source for historians and genealogists. City directories offer an alphabetized listing of residents and businesses as well as a street-by-street listing of occupants.
The following digital collections represent a broad picture of the history of Columbia, South Carolina, from the 1800s to the end of the twentieth century. A special thanks to the City of Columbia, Richland Library, USC Libraries, South Carolina State Museum, South Carolina State Library, and the South Carolina Department of Archives and History for making these collections available online.

This collection contains letters and other materials surrounding the life of five-term U.S. congressman David Wyatt Aiken, who biographers have styled "South Carolina's Militant Agrarian." Born in 1828 in Winnsboro (Fairfield County, S.C.), Aiken served as a colonel in the Confederate Army and later went on to serve in the S.C. House of Representatives. He was a member of the Agricultural and Mechanical Society of South Carolina and served on the executive committee of the National Grange. From 1877 until 1887, he represented South Carolina in the U.S. House of Representatives.
