The highly popular dolls BRATZ finally come alive in "BRATZ," the first live action feature film based on the chic fashion dolls. As the Bratz navigate their way through this story, we will see how the four young women represent honesty, camaraderie and most importantly friendship. As long as they can remember, Yasmin, Jade, Sasha and Cloe have been "BFF"--Best Friends Forever. Inseparable since they first met, the young girls have always supported each other's individual personalities, talents and fabulous fashion styles. But now, as the foursome enter Carry Nation High, Yasmin, Jade, Sasha and Cloe face a brand new world: a blackboard jungle, where for the first time they discover life as a teenager means dealing with a system of social cliques, all strictly enforced by student body president Meredith Baxter Dimly. Finding themselves being pulled further and further apart, the girls band together and rise up as "the Bratz" to fight peer pressure, in turn learning how true empowerment means standing up for your friends, being true to oneself and living out one's dreams and aspirations.

Zaha Hadid's Petroleum Research Center (Ironically) Aims For LEED Platinum
It may seem ironic, but even petroleum research centers can be LEED certified if they meet the critieria. Case in point: the King Abudullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center (KAPSARC for short), designed by Zaha Hadid, is aiming for LEED Platinum. To be built in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the state of the art campus will house research and development facilities on energy and environmental exploration and analysis. We take that to read studies on better ways of finding more petroleum (which is hardly a practice we consider to be green) but at least the building itself is striving to be earth-friendly.
KAPSARC's main building is a crystalline structure composed of modular six-sided cells with many connections between them, as well as a series of shaded outdoor spaces, gardens, and underground tunnels. Nearby, a modern library and conference center will aid in the center's quest to become a preeminent energy research center. The KAPSARC complex will also feature a residential complex and recreational facilities for in-kingdom and expatriate researchers and their families.

Comeback Kid is a Canadian hardcore band from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Formed in 2002, the band is currently signed to Facedown Records. Their name comes from a headline in a newspaper about hockey player, Mario Lemieux coming back to the NHL. The band was formed in 2002 by Andrew Neufeld and Jeremy Hiebert who were both members of the band Figure Four, which is currently on hiatus. They were joined by their friends Scott Wade and Kyle Profeta, but CBK was originally intended only to be a side project. Their initial popularity was mainly due to word of mouth within the hardcore scene.

Even if you've never heard of Pam Doré, a.k.a "mr. Pam," chances are good that, if you are an adult gay male, you've seen her work. Mr. Pam is the only woman making a living as a videographer and director of gay porn. She is unquestionably a shining star in what must be the most male-defined industry in the world.
Doré, 39, began up the lubed-greasy pole of the adult male film industry after completing her studies in graduate school at San Francisco State in 1996. She found herself going from graphic designer to editor; from editor to lighting designer; then to videographer; and eventually as the lead camera in dozens of big-budget projects.
She has since worked steadily with nearly all major players in the industry, including Falcon, Raging Stallion, Jet Set, NakedSword, Hot House, Studio 2000, Bel Ami, Black Scorpion and Colt Studios. A true force of nature behind the camera, mr. Pam has shot hundreds of scenes in international locations from Scotland and Serbia to Brazil and Israel, and the Dominican Republic to Ibiza.
Along the way, she has photographed every "above the marquee" gay adult star in the business in some of their most memorable scenes. Mr. Pam, who self-identifies as bisexual, is totally professional about her work. Watching super-hot guys get it on doesn't faze her; on the set, she's all business.
Working with Michael Lucas
In 2008, mr. Pam was invited to join forces with Michael Lucas, the founder and head of Lucas Entertainment, far and away the largest gay adult-film company in New York City. As the company's creative director, she shot and co-directed with Lucas some of his best-known titles, including the highly lauded "Men of Israel" and "Assassins."
Lucas himself has amassed a reputation beyond the confines of gay porn. An outspoken critic of anti-gay Muslims, a defender of Israel and a fierce opponent of drugs on film sets and the trend towards mainstreaming barebacking, Lucas has a reputation as a hard-driving boss. For her part, mr. Pam describes Lucas as "amazing," "a visionary" and "a businessman with exquisite taste."
She admires him for his outspokenness, determination and the sense of style he brought to his films. She added that her crew often included a fashion photographer. That was "something they generally don't do in San Francisco. Michael will do whatever it takes to make it work," she said. "Sometimes you think, 'This can't happen!' but then: It does! He'll make it happen -- like shooting porn in Israel."
Back to the Castro
After what she describes as "three-and-a-half awesome years" with Lucas, in December 2011 NakedSword Owner Tim Valenti offered her a chance to return to San Francisco. She'll serve as director of production for NakedSword Originals, a new division at the online gay adult video warehouse owned by the Charlotte, N.C., adult giant AEBN, (Adult Entertainment Broadcast Network).
The prospect of starting afresh was too tempting to resist. "It was a really hard decision to leave Michael," she told EDGE. "It was a great job, and a high-profile company. But I missed California, my family and my friends. It seemed like a fun challenge, and a good time in my career to make a change. So I decided to go for it."
mr. Pam is now back on home turf in the Castro. She admits to missing New York "more than I thought I would. New York is great, it's crazy. And I miss shooting B-roll in Times Square."
As for NakedSword's Valenti, he considers signing mr. Pam a coup for the fledgling offshoot company. The camerawoman will will make for "original content that is fresh, that is for new generations, and not simply re-doing the same formula over and over and over again," he said. (For his part, Lucas declined to comment.)
Becoming mr. Pam
So how did a nice girl like Pam Doré become mr. Pam, the woman who shoots the men while they're shooting? The moniker (deliberately spelled with a lower-case "mr" -- to distinguish her gender, she says) has evolved into her directorial "brand" as well as nom de porn.
"My porn daddy John Rutherford gave me that name when I was still an editor," says Doré. Rutherford is legendary former head of Falcon Studios. Now with Colt Studios, Rutherford recalled the moment Pam became mr. Pam.
"Chuck Holmes, then the owner of Falcon, didn't believe that woman had a place on or around gay video production or creative processes," Rutherford said. "One day, Chuck asked me who edited our latest Jocks movie. I nervously answered, 'mr. Pam.' Chuck then asked me, 'Is he Asian?' The rest was history, as they say."

Doré readily acknowledges Rafael Alencar as her own personal favorite actor. The New York-based porn superstar influenced her to move to the city in 2008. She has worked often with Alencar since his exclusive days with Studio 2000; she even crashed in his apartment while on assignment.
"Rafael hadn't worked with Lucas Entertainment until I brought him in," mr. Pam recalled. "Before Lucas, Raffy had often done sweet, slow romantic scenes, so for a change of pace I cast him for a foot fetish movie, 'Feet Extreme,' where he beat his scene partner with his feet. Now he teases me that, because of me casting and directing him in these hardcore scenes, his reputation has changed, and now he's a tough 'bad boy' in a lot of pornos. He's really such a sweetie, and it's all my fault!" she joked.
"We clicked right away from the first time we worked together," Alencar told EDGE. "We were simpatico. And nobody has shot me more than she has. She knows all my best angles -- every single scar on my body. But what she does with me, she does with everybody else. She can turn any model into a superstar."
mr. Pam credits Alencar with much of her success: "I learned a lot from Raffy. He is the one who pointed out to me to keep the camera moving and not just do static shots that would be edited together later. He's also an amazing performer. He pushes the crew sometimes, and we'll say, 'Let's just stop!' but he'll have great ideas. Insane body and huge dick."
Her mommy side
Ambitious, vivacious, charming, and blessed with a musical voice filled with mischief and laughter, mr. Pam's formula for success in the industry comes from a unique blend of her openness, her "slight nastiness" and her "mommy" side. She's well-known for bringing positive energy to the set.
"Basically, I just ask the models to top themselves with each new performance," she said. "I think the guys appreciate that, I'm not creepy, I'm not slimy, it's not like I'm there to get my kicks later. I'm there to produce art. And I have a great rapport with some of the guys."
She's always early on the set, "wide eyed and bushy tailed -- carrots and celery as snacks in tow," Rutherford said. "She's contributed a great deal to many of our projects and I value her as a good friend and peer."
Alencar believes that mr. Pam's personal style of whispering positive messages in his ear throughout shoots is one of her invaluable assets.
Valenti agrees. "Her instincts are amazing," he told EDGE. "She can sense the humanity of the model and is creative and decisive in her direction. She is in total control of the set and the players."
In 2010 she scored a win at the gay adult industry's annual honors show, the Grabbys, for Best Videography for "Men of Israel." It was the first time a woman had been so honored in the industry.
The Grabbys, formerly owned by Gay Chicago Magazine, are now overseen by producer Mark Nagel. Last week, Nagel contacted Doré to tell her that she had been nominated again, this time as Best Director along with Lucas for his big-budget production, "Assassins."
Challenges in the industry
EDGE spoke with mr. Pam about the special challenges she faces as a woman in a male-dominated industry.
EDGE: Tell me how you got started in directing gay male porn.
mr. Pam: It just fell into my lap. I was in grad school learning video production, and a guy in my class had his own post-production studio, editing United Airlines videos, family videos, and gay porn. I did an internship with him, and since I was new, I edited the gay porn.
EDGE: Which companies did you edit for?
mr. Pam: My first projects were for Hot House, Studio 2000 and Falcon. One day, Chi Chi LaRue rented the studio for a shoot, and I got to talk with her. This was when she was still working with Falcon. I decided the production side of things was way more exciting than the editing.
EDGE: So when did you cross over?
mr. Pam: I got my big break in 2004 when my porn daddy John Rutherford hired me to go on the set of "Buckle Roos," Colt Studio's big cowboy movie. I was out on this cattle ranch in the middle of the Sacramento Valley for three weeks, doing a featurette documentary for the DVD, "eXposed: The Making of a Legend." Co-director Jerry Douglas asked me to shoot second camera for a scene with Marcus Iron and Dean Phoenix in a barn at night. And it was just magical. It seemed like the universe collided, the skies opened up, and this was where I was supposed to be.

Matt Swartz has published a very interesting article about buidling an organization. I've said for several years now the idea that the Cubs under Hendry just handed out contracts like candy was ridiculous. Yes, there were some bad contracts. Name one GM who has been around for a decade without some bad free agent contracts. The Cubs current President gave out Soriano money to another LF a leg injury away from being next to useless.
Since 2007 only the Yankees, Cardinals had more fWAR from free agents than the Cubs. The Cubs had 24 and the Cardinals had 24.9. The Yankees had 32.2. Those wins cost money and they cost the Cubs an average of $4.4 million per win. Only the Cardinals, Padres, Braves, Rays and Rangers got more bang for their buck than the Cubs did. If you're interested, the Red Sox were 10th. They had 22.9 fWAR from free agents and they paid them $4.9 million per win.
Where the Cubs failed was at producing talent, which we already knew. Only the White Sox, Astros, Red, Padres and Royals received less fWAR from players they drafted. This is where the difference between the Cubs current front office and their past one is. The Red Sox were 2nd behind the Dodgers.
With the new CBA, signing amateur talent is a lot more difficult than before. The Red Sox were 2nd because they collected a ridiculous number of draft picks in the 1st round and the top 5 rounds overall (twice as many as the Cubs). That makes a huge difference. The ability to do that is gone. How much of the Red Sox ranking is because of their extra draft picks and how much because of superior scouting isn't known, but a betting man would be wise to bet on extra draft picks.
There are two things that are clear from this information: the Cubs were pretty damn good at getting production from the players they signed and the Red Sox were damn good at getting production from their minor league system. The CBA changes a lot of things with regards to paying amateur talent so we'll have to see how well Theo and company can do with these changes.

En español | Like millions of American men, Brian Hines, 64, has a yearly ritual. Every fall, the Salem, Ore., resident has his blood checked for PSA (prostate-specific antigen), a protein that can be an early warning sign of prostate cancer. So far his numbers have always been low, generally a sign that his prostate is healthy and cancer-free.
Sign up for the AARP Health Newsletter.
But now, Hines says he might skip the test because it may do nothing more than "buy you a ticket for the treatment merry-go-round."
Many general practitioners and urologists still recommend regular PSA testing for all men, starting at about age 50 until age 70 to 75. But other physicians — including many prominent experts on the front lines against cancer — see the PSA as a highly flawed test that saves few lives while turning many men into cancer patients, with all the chemotherapy, radiation and surgery that can come with the territory.
On the whole, the tide is turning against the PSA. The American Cancer Society and other groups currently recommend that men discuss the test with their doctors, which is far from an enthusiastic endorsement. "No credible organization in the U.S. actually recommends that men get screened for prostate cancer" without a thorough discussion of the pros and cons, says Otis Brawley, M.D., chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society.
In May the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an independent panel of experts, concluded in a report that doctors shouldn't offer the test to healthy men. Some in the public accused the task force of trying to save money at the expense of men's lives. But Timothy Wilt, M.D., lead author of the report and a professor of medicine at the University of Minnesota, says that, by congressional mandate, the task force considered only the evidence, not costs.
"Patients believe that detecting cancers is always good for them," Wilt says. "But in the case of prostate cancer, there is good scientific evidence that the benefits don't outweigh the harms."
To clarify, doctors agree that the PSA helps monitor men who are being treated for prostate cancer. And if a man has symptoms of possible prostate cancer, a PSA test can help determine the next step. The controversy comes when doctors give the test to men with no symptoms.
Many apparently healthy men do, in fact, have hidden prostate cancer. Autopsy studies have found signs of the disease in about 45 percent of American men in their 50s. And as men get older, their risk soars. "Just about every man will have some evidence of prostate cancer if he lives long enough," says H. Gilbert Welch, M.D., professor of medicine at Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine. He adds that about 97 percent of American men die from something other than prostate cancer, which means any given man is far more likely to die with the disease than from it.
The PSA test is notoriously unreliable. Doctors often recommend biopsies for men who have a PSA count over 4. But many other things besides prostate cancer can lead to a high PSA, including an enlarged prostate, inflammation of the prostate, some medications and even riding a bicycle. The National Cancer Institute reports most men with an elevated PSA level turn out not to have prostate cancer; only about 25 percent of men who have a biopsy due to an elevated PSA level actually have prostate cancer. At the same time, a small percentage of men with "normal" PSAs actually have aggressive, high-grade cancer.
The lifesaving power of the PSA test is far from certain. One study that followed more than 76,000 American men for over 10 years found no evidence that PSA tests saved lives. A larger European study concluded that only a single life could potentially be saved by regularly screening more than 1,000 men for many years.

Gallery: Apple's New iPhone 4 is Ultra Thin, Light – But is it Green?
The moment that smartphone geeks have been waiting for is finally here: Apple has just unveiled the fourth generation iPhone at today's WWDC conference in San Francisco. At a diminutive 9.3 mm thick, the svelte new device is 25% thinner than the 3GS, significantly lighter, and it boasts a long-lasting battery that boosts call time up to 7 hours — but is it green?
The iPhone 4 has some impressive specs, including six-axis motion sensing, a 4x overall pixel count increase compared to the iPhone 3, a 5 megapixel camera with 5X digital zoom, the capability to record HD video at 720p / 30fp, and — perhaps most impressively — a larger battery that provides 7 hours of 3G talk, 6 hours of 3G browsing, 10 hours of WiFi browsing, 10 hours of video, and 40 hours of music. That larger battery means users don't need to plug the phone in as much, which in turn means less overall power use.
Apple's new phone also offers the ability to use more than one application at once. It's a feature that has been unique the Android operating system up until now, and while it's certainly useful, it's not all that green. That's because using more than one app at the same time sucks up battery life — effectively canceling out the benefits of the iPhone 4's larger battery. Still, users don't have to use the feature, and it's a helpful option to have.
The iPhone 4's "retinal display" of 326 pixels per inch (ppi) makes it ideal for reading books — the human eye can't differentiate between digital displays and print above 300 ppi. It's unlikely that most people will use the handset instead of larger resource-heavy e-readers or printed books, but we imagine that certain users might read newspapers on their iPhone instead of on paper.
Another practical and green benefit of the new iPhone: it's 9.3mm thick — 25% thinner than the iPhone 3GS. A thinner phone means fewer resources go into making the product.
Is the iPhone 4 more sustainable than the iPhone 3? Yes. But it's still not nearly as sustainable as, say Samsung's recyclable bio-plastic Reclaim phone. We're hoping that Apple continues to make strides in battery life and resource use — it still has a long way to go.

"It's unlikely that most people will use the handset instead of larger resource-heavy e-readers or printed books"
this will make me upgrade to one. I use the original iphone for reading books — I download free Kindle classics from Amazon and read them on the subway (you always have your phone with you every time you get on the subway, right? but do you always have a book with you? not unless you pack it) and it's made my commute to and from work every day in NYC much more fun.

Warren, I fear thats mostly Apple doing greenwashing. Most of these (mercury, pvc) are forbidden in most of Europe, so if they want to sell their phone in Europe, they have no choice but to produce it pvc and mercury free. Also note "the strictest global energy effiency standards" without naming the standard or providing a real percentage of effiency. I would be surprised if the recharger is even 80% efficient, which would still be lowish.
June 7, 2010 at 8:45 pm
Nice post! I agree that the energy consumption is something of a small but good step on the way, and look forward to checking out the Reclaim model that you mention, thanks for bringing that up!
I also wrote a post this morning on the iPhone and it\'s place in Eco Fashion. I\'d be delighted to hear your thoughts on this front as well!

I'd like to see "is it green" articles with more substance and less speculation. In particular, in this article, a couple of points strike me as unlikely. For example:
"The iPhone 4 has […] a larger battery that provides 7 hours of 3G talk, 6 hours of 3G browsing, 10 hours of WiFi browsing, 10 hours of video, and 40 hours of music. That larger battery means users don't need to plug the phone in as much, which in turn means less overall power use."
Now, these things aren't all apples and oranges, and nor are they accurate. First of all, a larger battery doesn't mean less power use — it means more power storage in the phone. Whether the iPhone 4 draws more or less power than its predecessors for doing the same tasks is only part of the equation of how long the battery lasts. With a battery sufficiently larger in capacity, a less efficient device may last longer. Second, plugging in less often doesn't mean drawing less power! Again, it depends on how much power is drawn for how long; my wife only uses her hair dryer for a few minutes a few times a week, but my alarm clock is plugged in 24/7. Despite this, the hair dryer draws hundreds of times more energy in a month than the alarm clock. Rechargeable portable devices are beholden to the same accounting.
A second example: "Another practical and green benefit of the new iPhone: it's 9.3mm thick — 25% thinner than the iPhone 3GS. A thinner phone means fewer resources go into making the product." It is incontrovertibly true that the iPhone 4 is thinner than the 3GS. However, whether this means that there are fewer resources expended in making it depends on the materials going into it, the difficulty of their working, and the density of those materials within the device. Air space in a device uses far less resources than [non-semiconductor] silicon, which uses far less resources than aluminum — and so on.
Determining whether a gadget is "green" or not is a process which requires more than a little bit of off-the-cuff analysis of a press release by a writer. I think it is very important that consumers become more aware of the ecological, energy, and labor impact of the products they purchase, but this awareness needs to be founded in hard facts. Whether the iPhone 4 is of more or less ecological impact than the 3GS or even older iterations remains an open issue, and no one should make decisions based on an article such as this one.
What is absolutely true is that an iPhone of any type is far less efficient and sustainable than a well-engineered so-called "dumb"-phone. However, an iPhone is also much more efficient and sustainable than a dumb-phone PLUS an MP3 player PLUS a personal organizer and/or handheld game system. The point being, it's important to look not only at the device itself, but the user's needs (or perceived needs — nobody "needs" an iPhone) and the behavior modification that the device entails. Buying a single fancy phone of larger ecological impact every few years is probably better than rotating through a cadre of half a dozen portable devices of different purpose in that same time period.
Note that I don't meant to single out this article, this author, or this product. I think the entire line of features would benefit from more careful materials, energy, and use-case analysis. That could take it from mildly interesting pseudoscience to a tool that could help people green their lifestyles and purchasing habits.

Measurements of microwave and optical transmission though random media in the crossover to Anderson localization will be described from two different but complete perspectives: Quasi-normal modes (modes) of excitation within the medium and eigenchannels of the transmission matrix (channels). Because modes do not mix as they decay, they afford a natural framework for describing transmission in the time domain and near-threshold lasing from localized states. At the same time, since the sum of eigenvalues of orthogonal channels is equal to the transmittance or "optical" conductance, they are useful in understanding the statistics of steady-state transmission for a single incident channel, "optical" conductance, and focusing in single samples and in random ensembles. We determine the individual eigenvalues of the transmission matrix and achieve nearly complete transmission in ordinarily opaque diffusive samples. The change in the statistics of the transmittance in the Anderson transition is shown to emerge from the joint distribution of the transmission eigenvalues and the transmittance. We demonstrate the power of the Coulomb model that associates transmission eigenvalues with the positions of charges and their images in this model. The relationship between the mode and channel descriptions will be seen in the determination of the density of states in random samples using these approaches.
In collaboration with Zhou Shi, Jing Wang and Matthieu Davy

Interpretive Handbook
88546 :
Tubular Reabsorption of Phosphorus, Random
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The tubular reabsorption of phosphate (TRP) is the fraction (or percent) of filtered phosphorus that is reabsorbed by renal tubules. Its measurement is useful when evaluating patients with hypophosphatemia. In general, a reduced TRP in the presence of hypophosphatemia is indicative of a renal defect in phosphate reabsorption.
The ratio of the maximum rate of tubular phosphate reabsorption to the glomerular filtration rate (TmP/GFR) is considered the most convenient way to evaluate renal phosphate transport and is referred to as the theoretical renal phosphate threshold. This corresponds to the theoretic lower limit of plasma phosphate below which all filtered phosphate would be reabsorbed. Although direct measurements of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which increases renal phosphate excretion have replaced much of the utility of TmP/GFR measurements, it may still be useful in assessing renal reabsorption of phosphorus in a variety of pathological conditions associated with hypophosphatemia.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Assessing renal reabsorption of phosphorus in a variety of pathological conditions associated with hypophosphatemia including hypophosphatemic rickets, tumor-induced osteomalacia and tumoral calcinosis
Adjusting phosphate replacement therapy in severe deficiency states monitoring the renal tubular recovery from acquired Fanconi's syndrome
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Interpretation of tubular reabsorption of phosphate (TRP) and TmP/GMR is dependent upon the clinical situation, and should be interpreted in conjunction with the serum phosphorous concentration.
TmP/glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is independent of dietary phosphorus intake, tissue release of phosphorus, and GFR.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
No significant cautionary statements
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
(Although, tubular reabsorption of phosphorus levels must be interpreted in light of the prevailing plasma phosphorus and glomerular filtration rate.)

Backed by a 35 from medalist Josh Roselli, Ridgway stretched their early undefeated streak to 2-0 with a 24-stroke victory Monday against visiting DuBois Central Catholic at Laurel Mill Golf Course.
Roselli was complemented by a trio of 40s fired by teammates Mitchell Gilmore, Josh Mitchell, and Jesse Reynolds. T.J. Schlimm capped off the scoring with a 41 for a team total 196.
Matt Aiello and Mitchell Stark also were on the course and fired 41, followed by Jake Klawuhn with a 44.
"We had good balanced scoring once again, this time led by Josh Roselli's 35," said Ridgway head boys varsity golf coach Dave Zawatski. "Hopefully, [Roselli] is starting to prove that he is one of the top players in District 9.
"The only thing holding the others back from also posting mid to high 30s is one bad hole. When they all put it together, watch out."
DCC was led by Mark Walker, who fired a 37. He was followed by Pat Sayers with 39 strokes, Kurt Palmer with a 45, Dan Sayers with a 47, and Ben Brinkley, whose 52 set DCC's total team score at 220 strokes. Connor Hindman did not factor into the scoring but also fired a 52.
Ridgway will get their first road test Thursday as they travel to Kane.

Comments about Lowrance HDS-5 Gen2 Fishfinder/Chartplotter, Nautic Insight (50/200 kHz):
This seems to be a good unit when it works. Mine worked fine on the first 6 outings then the problems began. Factory assured it was a fluke however, there was an admitted glith in the software. I installed their software update that was supposed to fix the bug. Well, it didnt. I have sent original back and am waiting on the replacement. Hopefully the new unit runs fine but we will see. Time on the water is precious so to have a trip ruined because of the electronics is a bummer.

Using what they call cutting-edge artificial intelligence, the Pluribo add-on of Firefox promises to deliver you instant summaries of any Amazon.com web page you are viewing on the Web. Why read the entire review, when you can get the proverbial cliff notes this way?
How does Pluribo: Instant Summeries work?
Well, essentially Pluribo does exactly what you'd do if you had the time: it reads every word, learns what people liked and disliked, and then figures out the key lessons. But, unlike a person, Pluribo does this automatically. So it can fetch you the bottom line at light speed– freeing up your day to enjoy the finer things in life.
This plugin shows a lot of promise. I too, like many of you, do a lot of shopping on Amazon and most of the review are usually pretty handy to have when it comes to comparing products. Of course you take it with a grain of salt, but there is no doubt that it helps and this add-on just speeds up that process of skimming over reviews.
Pluribo: Instant Summaries shows a lot of promise, but I would like to see the tool work on more than just Amazon. I want to see it work everywhere!

Decades later, Pinter and directing partner Di Trevis adapted the never-filmed script for the National Theatre in London. It has never been produced in the US. In celebration of Pinter's long friendship with the Poetry Center and the centenary of Swann's Way, we present a staged reading of the play, affording us "the pleasure of providing yet another angle of perception upon a work so elaborate and many-faceted it never fails to give back new light," wrote John Updike.
The production is being directed by Di Trevis—who worked closely with Pinter—and Ed Sylvanus Iskandar. It features the following actors:

Gallery: SOLAR DECATHLON 2007: Darmstadt's Stunning Solar House
Combining the manufacturing expertise of Volkswagen with a beautiful modern design sensibility, the Technische Universität Darmstadt's wowed the crowds this week at the 2007 Solar Decathlon with their gorgeously innovative Solar Decathlon home. The Darmstadt home combines both high-tech active solar and low-tech passive solar components into smart operable building envelope of movable photovoltaic shutters. This clever solar shutter system bears more than a passing resemblance to old school German wooden shutters — only writ large, spanning every exterior surface of house and covered with photovolaic panels that generate electricity while they simultaneously shade the house from the sun.
And the judges and viewers on hand at this years Solar Decathlon event seem to agree that the Darmstadt house is a cut above. Darmstadt won the first prize of the competition in the architecture round and have been continuing to rack up points in every category. They are currently running a close second in the competition – behind only Maryland. Darmstadt also seems to be the popular choice at the show – the house was constantly mobbed by people and surrounded by long, winding, Disneyland-esque lines.
The Darmstadt House design is based on a platform system which allows for customization and quick assembly, all made in Germany using German technologies and materials like local German oak. The student team began with an automotive-inspired and uber-German concept: In the 1990's Volkswagen created the platform system for cars, and the student designers wanted to use the same concept of prefabrication and platform design to design an applicable and flexible system. The home's platform system consists of a space for the building technologies, large spaces, and strategically-arranged interiors for floor integration and flexibility.
The main structure of our house consists of three modules. The construction of each module, from bottom to top, is a platform, living area and roof. The platform is composed of a top layer and a bottom layer, between those two layers is room for technical installations, storage and integrated furniture. This platform system allows for innovative furniture and storage solutions which are embedded in the floor. Like something resembling a burrow — the bed, couches and all storage are folded into the floor, saving space in a unique and cozy way.
Instead of focusing on the production of massive amounts of energy, the home focuses on keeping cool with passive solar design, meaning it demands a minimum amount of energy to function normally. To achieve this, the building's shell became a central design component- the outer layer consists of oak louvered frames which, same as the roof, are equipped with photovoltaic panels. This layer both generates electricity and also provides protection from the heat of the sun.
One of the most unique features of the Technische Universität Darmstadt's home is their flat roof. While most homes at the Solar Decathlon utilize a pitched roof to maximize the efficiency of the photovoltaics, this home's highly-insulated flat roof consists of multiple layers that yield insulation 10 times better in comparison to an equal thickness layer of polysterole insulation.
And in true cradle-to-cradle fashion, the house will return to Germany after the Solar Decathlon and used as a solar power plant to power on-campus buildings and feed into the German power grid.

Might I backup The Revolution Corporation – Right On! We have developed a "Whole House" System with a $3 million projected prototype cost and a less than $50/sf projected market cost. Our solar roof is projected to cost $2 million for the prototype yet cost the same as a conventional roof in the marketplace. Our solar PolyARCH roof is designed to span up to 300 feet, is projected to cost about $2.5 million for the first prototype and cost less than half what a current mega-store non-solar roof costs.
P.S. I made a 28 hr round trip from the West Coast to see the Solar Decathlon and had two choices ~ wait in line to see the Darmsadt home and miss my return flight – or study it from the outside with the help of one of their students. He did an excellent job and I made my return flight. But I sure wish I could have seen the interior as well.

In reference to the cost of the Darmstadt house. Remember that this is a first generation prototype, and a test bed for new technology. $730K is not what the production model would cost. Think automotive prototyping. The consumer doesn't pay the prototype cost for their $21K Prius. And should a Prius really cost $21K ?!?
Just as with every other product that is prototyped, you WILL see the technology that has been developed in this house on the market for a much reduced price within the next ten years.

You will notice that this house cost over $1.3 million to make and bring to the US. $730,000+ in construction costs alone!!! I know this is a competition and price is often overlooked but i couldn't help but think that Sustainability has to address economics as well as the environment if it is ever to make a real impace on our world.
All the "talk" about green/sustainability is based on saving energy and saving money. These houses are under 800 sq ft so how is building at $916 per sq foot sustainable? You could build a really nice 1600 sq ft house at a luxurious $150 sq ft = $240,000…put another $100,000 into "green" upgrades and then still have $400,000 left to pay for all the energy you could ever use. Is that proving that sustainability is undenyable?
