Bright Power Wins RISE:NYC Competition with Innovative Resilient Power Hub
The RISE:NYC competition, from NYCEDC, awards innovative solutions that drive business resiliency and which will better protect New York City from the impacts of future storms, sea level rise and other effects of climate change. Bright Power's Resilient Power Hub is a small-scale, storm-proof power plant, that will be deployed at three New York City locations using the prize money.
Stemming from the impact of Hurricane Sandy, RISE:NYC is a $30M competition administered by the NYCEDC to aid in the recovery and disaster prevention efforts of NYC's small businesses. "Rise:NYC is part of the City's comprehensive suite of initiatives to mitigate the effects of severe weather and climate change on New Yorkers, and all of the winning technologies will help support and strengthen small businesses across the city," said NYCEDC President Kyle Kimball. "Each of the 11 innovative winning technologies will make the City a safer, stronger and more resilient place, creating economic support and additional opportunities for New Yorkers and small businesses."
The competition not only inspires innovation that targets the significant vulnerabilities in New York City's buildings and infrastructure networks that the storm revealed, it also ensures that the highest impact, most scalable and replicable projects are implemented. Over 200 applications from 20 countries were submitted, finalists were announced in September 2014 and displayed their technologies at a demo night in October 2014. The 11 winners were selected by a panel of esteemed advisors and announced at an awards ceremony on April 29, 2015.
"Competitions like RISE:NYC bring out the best in our creative, technical minds and allow us to dream up powerful solutions to widespread problems. With so many impressive ideas from the finalists, it's an honor to be selected as an award recipient. We are thrilled that the competition has recognized our Resilient Power Hub as a potentially transformative technology for our city," said Jeff Perlman, President of Bright Power.
Bright Power's Resilient Power Hub is a small-scale power plant that provides buildings with instantaneous back-up power to critical systems when the grid goes down, as well as energy savings the rest of the time. It can operate as part of or independent from the utility grid. The technology combines solar photovoltaics (PV), combined-heat-and-power (CHP) and energy storage under one automated system that is easily scaled and replicated in various building types. Partners include Thread Collective, a sustainable architecture firm, as well as Growing Energy Labs, Inc. (Geli), a provider of the Geli EOS software solution for energy storage and microgrid systems.
"Geli is excited to work with Bright Power and Thread Collective to bring their Resilient Power Hub microgrids and microgrid networks solutions to local businesses", added Ryan Wartena, Geli CEO. "Designing microgrid systems based on building-specific requirements will be the way to scale energy solutions that provide maximum benefit to both the project host and the grid through Geli's Internet of Energy platform."
Liberty Village Wins Solar Project of Distinction
Earlier this month at the PV America Expo, Bright Power gladly accepted the Solar Project of Distinction award on behalf of Liberty Village and the 127.5kW solar installation to which it is home, along with 60 veterans and their families for whom it provides clean, affordable power.
The Liberty Village residential complex is located on the grounds of the former North Amityville Armed Forces Reserve Center and was developed by Concern for Independent Living through the Base Closure Community Redevelopment and Homelessness Act of 1994. Today, Liberty Village provides affordable housing to 60 veterans and their families, most of whom come from homelessness. With the goal of preserving affordability, we partnered with Concern for Independent Living to implement a solar installation that is projected to save more than $800,000 over its 25-year lifetime.
Bright Power worked closely with the architect and general contractor throughout a 2-year design and build cycle. The townhouse-style design of the complex, with multiple roof elevations and orientations, proved to be challenging. Bright Power deployed microinverters which maximize production across various directions (East, West and South), and provide performance tracking down to a per-panel basis. With the aid of 3D computer modeling, the panels were arranged to avoid shading from the various roof elevations and flow with the architect's aesthetic vision.
This solar array is structurally attached to trusses that hold the roofs together, posing unique challenges in the design process. To avoid creating a wind sail effect that would impose an unsupported load on the roof, Bright Power provided structural recommendations to strengthen the trusses to the point of being able to withstand hurricane-level winds.
Most importantly, this installation is built to last, keeping affordable housing affordable for many years to come.

Announcing Bright Power's Acquisition of Ecological Partners, LLC
New York City, NY. Feb. 19, 2015 – Bright Power, Inc., New York City-based energy management provider, has announced its acquisition of Ecological Partners, LLC, an energy efficiency service provider previously owned by Root9b Technologies, a cybersecurity and regulatory risk mitigation company.
Bright Power is a leading provider of strategic energy solutions for real estate portfolios across the country. The company's full suite of services ranges from energy benchmarking and auditing to resiliency solutions and energy procurement. The acquisition of Ecological Partners, whose primary focus was energy-related local law compliance, allows Bright Power to enhance its existing business while continuing to expand its robust product offerings. "This is an exciting moment for us to incorporate a competitor, grow our team and cement our position in the NYC market. Ecological is a natural addition to Bright Power's strategic vision as we work more closely with our clients, taking them beyond compliance and into long-term energy management solutions," said Bright Power President and CEO, Jeff Perlman.
Bright Power views Ecological's success in the compliance market as a stepping stone to more in-depth energy efficiency projects. "This is a big win for our clients who are now gaining access to the full range of energy management services that Bright Power provides. While we have built a business on local law compliance services, we've realized that compliance is only the first step to true energy management. The joining of our two companies means we will not only reach more buildings, but also that we will have the capacity to manage energy on a deeper level at those buildings," said Ecological Vice President, Tim Howell.
With the addition of Ecological's client base, Bright Power now provides local law compliance services to over 1,000 buildings in New York City, making them the single largest provider of both LL84 and LL87 compliance services.

Bright Power worked with Mercy Housing to develop and commission on the solar thermal and solar photocoltaic system installed at the property. To read the full press release, click here.
Bright Power Opens West Coast Office
Bright Power is pleased to announce the opening of its first satellite office, located in Oakland, CA. In late 2014, Bright Power closed a $5 million round of fundraising from WindSail Capital Group, a portion of which will be allocated to the opening of this new office.
This expansion better situates Bright Power to help its large and quickly growing client base of national owners and operators act on opportunities found through its database of multifamily building energy and water usage, the largest in the nation. "On our tenth anniversary, we are excited to put down roots on the West Coast! We have had clients there for many years, and recognize that we have a lot to offer in helping address the unique energy and water challenges that building owners face there. Now we are more ready than ever to dive into the opportunities that such a forward-thinking state like California can offer," said Bright Power CEO and President, Jeff Perlman.
Spearheading the opening of Bright Power's West Coast office will be former Vice President of Engineering, Greg Sherman, who will now carry the title Vice President of Western Region. Sherman set up shop in the Bay Area earlier this year. "California's energy and water concerns are well known yet still getting worse. It became abundantly clear that this is a market that could utilize our services and we are excited to make an even greater impact in the buildings of our West Coast clients," said Sherman who will focus on building partnerships with owners, managers, developers, architects, local government agencies and other key stakeholders.
Bright Power headquarters will remain in New York City as the West Coast office opens its doors. For more information on Bright Power's national expansion please contact Greg Sherman. Contact information can be found on Bright Power's website.

Multifamily Now Eligible for ENERGY STAR Bragging Rights
The ENERGY STAR label is synonymous with efficiency. New homes, commercial buildings, even refrigerators have been eligible for the EPA's recognition for over twenty years, yet existing multifamily buildings have been historically left out, until now.
On November 13, 2014, ENERGY STAR announced the first seventeen existing multifamily residential buildings in the nation to receive their prestigious certification. Bright Power is proud to have worked with Related Management on three out of the five New York City properties:
- 30-50 21st: Owned by NYSANDY2 30-50 21ST LLC, managed by Related Management and with technical assistance from Bright Power
- Terrific Tenements 423 W 48th Street: Owned by Clinton Housing Preservation, LP, managed by Related Management, and with technical assistance from Bright Power
- Terrific Tenements 527 W 47th Street: Owned by Clinton Housing Preservation, LP, managed by Related Management, and with technical assistance from Bright Power
These three affordable housing properties were primed for certification thanks to Related Management's commitment to sustainability. With existing technologies like bi-level lighting in all corridors and public spaces, occupancy sensors and high efficiency ventilation fans, boilers and domestic hot water systems, these buildings were already bringing their A-games when the certification process began. That's right, all three properties were already receiving A grades in EnergyScoreCards.
Our engineers went on site to examine the systems, search for inefficiencies and speak with residents to make sure that the buildings' needs were being met on the grounds of energy and comfort. The buildings got a clean bill of health on all counts which came as no surprise to our team of analysts who have been following the buildings' performance in EnergyScoreCards for over a year.
"We are thrilled to be among the first owners recognized with the ENERGY STAR multifamily certification. It is a great acknowledgement of our continued commitment to environmental responsibility across all asset classes and we are especially proud that these apartments are not only more sustainable, but also affordable." said Jeff Brodsky, President of Related Management.
The expansion of the ENERGY STAR program is a win for the multifamily industry. The impact of building efficiency on the lives of tenants is significant and will no longer go unrecognized by the public. We look forward to helping more of our clients achieve certification for years to come.

Related Management Recognized by EPA for Being Among First Multifamily Properties to Earn ENERGY STAR Certification at Three NYC Properties
Three of Related Management's affordable housing properties, 30-50 21st St., Terrific Tenements at 423 W 48th St and 527 W 47th St, have been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as being among the first multifamily housing properties to earn ENERGY STAR certification for superior energy performance.
Thanks to technical assistance from Bright Power, these three properties join just fourteen others across the nation to make up the inaugural set of multifamily buildings to achieve the prestigious ENERGY STAR multifamily certification. The recognition signifies that these pioneering properties are more energy efficient than 75 percent of similar properties nationwide.
By reducing the amount of energy consumed, these properties will help cut utility bills for tenants and reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with producing energy. Current estimates show that multifamily properties can become 30 percent more efficient by 2020, unlocking $9 billion in energy savings and preventing annual greenhouse gas emissions roughly equivalent to the average annual output from over four million U.S. households.
"We are thrilled to be among the first owners recognized with the Energy Star multifamily certification. It is a great acknowledgement of our continued commitment to environmental responsibility across all asset classes and we are especially proud that these apartments are not only more sustainable, but also affordable." said Jeff Brodsky, President of Related Management.
"We are proud to be able to help our longstanding client, Related Management, to achieve the ENERGY STAR multifamily certification on these three properties. It is a great recognition of their industry leadership in energy management and sustainability," said Jeff Perlman, President of Bright Power.
A combination of the following measures were taken at the three properties by Related Management prior to the multifamily ENERGY STAR rating, making the certification process simple:
Continuous monitoring of energy use at all sites using Bright Power's EnergyScoreCards (www.brightpower.com/energyscorecards) to make energy efficiency capital improvement recommendations for the future
Installation of new, high efficiency condensing boilers and domestic hot water storage tanks
Bi-level lighting systems in corridors and public spaces
Installation of occupancy sensors in unoccupied spaces such as basements and boiler rooms
High efficiency ventilation fans
Along with Related Management's three properties, 14 other multifamily buildings were also among the first to earn EPA's ENERGY STAR for existing buildings. They are:
680 North Lake Shore Drive, in Chicago, Ill.: Owned and managed by Golub & Company, with technical assistance from Goby, LLC
The Ashley at RiverHouse, in Arlington, Va.: Owned and managed by Vornado/Charles E. Smith
Aspira Apartments, in Seattle, Wash.: Owned by TIAA-CREF, managed by Riverstone Residential Group and with technical assistance from JDM Associates
Avalon The Albemarle, in Washington, D.C.: Owned and managed by AvalonBay Communities, Inc
Castle Square, in Boston, Mass: Owned by CSTO Winn Owner LLC and managed by WinnResidential
Circa Green Lake Apartments, in Seattle, Wash.: Owned by TIAA-CREF, managed by Pinnacle and with technical assistance from JDM Associates
ECO Modern Flats, in Fayetteville, Ark.: Owned and managed by Specialized Real Estate Group
Harvard School of Public Health – Shattuck International House, in Boston, Mass.: Owned by President and Fellows of Harvard College and managed by Energy Management Associates, Inc.
Jeffery Parkway, in Chicago, Ill.: Owned and managed by Nautilus Investments, with technical assistance from Elevate Energy
MidAtlantic – DC: The Statesman, in Washington, D.C.: Owned and managed by AvalonBay Communities, Inc.
Peter Cooper Village, in New York, N.Y.: Owned and managed by CompassRock Real Estate
Prescott Wallingford, in Seattle, Wash.: Owned by TIAA-CREF, managed by Riverstone Residential Group and with technical assistance from JDM Associates
River City, in Chicago, Ill.: Owned and managed by Marc Realty, and with technical assistance from Goby LLC
Stuyvesant Town, in New York, N.Y.: Owned and managed by CompassRock Real Estate
"Related Management's achievement demonstrates that it's possible to overcome the many traditional barriers to energy efficiency in the multifamily housing market and reap significant energy and cost savings," said Jean Lupinacci, Chief of the ENERGY STAR program for Commercial and Industrial Buildings. "Through the example they've set, we see how we can all help to make properties more cost-effective for renters, while cutting greenhouse gas emissions and protecting human health."
Energy costs for renters have risen by 20 percent on average over the past decade, so energy efficiency represents a significant opportunity to reduce utility costs and the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of energy, which contribute to climate change. ENERGY STAR certified buildings use an average of 35 percent less energy and are responsible for 35 percent fewer carbon dioxide emissions than typical buildings. Many types of commercial buildings can earn the ENERGY STAR, such as office buildings, K-12 schools, hotels, and retail stores.
The new 1-100 ENERGY STAR score and certification for existing multifamily properties is based on nationally representative survey data collected by Fannie Mae from a number of companies, including Related Management and Bright Power. It is the first time existing multifamily properties have been able to be certified as ENERGY STAR. Previously, only new construction multifamily properties have been able to earn certification by meeting prescriptive design requirements for high performance.

Multifamily Retrofit Study Report Released
Bright Power and the Stewards of Affordable Housing for the Future (SAHF) are proud to announce that the results of our collaborative study, titled Energy and Water Savings in Multifamily Buildings, have officially been released.
Energy and Water Savings in Multifamily Buildings
From the SAHF website:
Energy and water consumption represent some of the largest operating costs in multifamily properties, estimated at $22 billion per year in the US. The newly released Energy and Water Savings in Multifamily Retrofits report provides a detailed analysis of 236 multifamily properties that underwent energy and water retrofit projects from 2009 to 2012. The report includes results for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Green Retrofit Program and the Energy Savers Program in Illinois and finds that there were significant energy savings and cost reductions for participating properties.
This is the first study to examine a large and diverse national data set containing pre- and post-retrofit utility data for both owner- and tenant-paid energy and water accounts. In addition to the findings themselves, the challenges faced in performing this research provide useful insights for others seeking to understand and execute energy and water retrofits in multifamily properties.
The report found that the Green Retrofit Program (GRP), implemented by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, reduced building energy consumption by 18%, and reduced water consumption by 26%. Energy Savers, a project of Elevate Energy and the Community Investment Corporation that targets heating systems in multifamily properties in the Chicago area, reduced gas consumption an average of 26%.

The report was written by Bright Power, issued by SAHF, and made possible by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.

Variety Amnesia: Recalling Past Variety Can Accelerate Recovery from Satiation
Consumers frequently consume items to the point where they no longer enjoy them. In a pilot study and two experiments spanning three distinct classes of stimuli, we find that people can recover from this satiation by simply recalling the variety of alternative items they have consumed in the past. And yet, people seem to exhibit "variety amnesia" in that they do not spontaneously recall this past variety despite the fact that it would result in a desirable decrease in satiation. Thus, rather than satiation being a fixed physiological process, it appears that it is at least partially constructed in the moment. We discuss some of the theoretical implications of these findings and provide some prescriptive measures for both marketers and consumers. (c) 2009 by JOURNAL OF CONSUMER RESEARCH, Inc..

Fitz & the Tantrums
Having made quite the commercial splash as R&B revivalists with their 2010 debut, Pickin' Up the Pieces, Los Angelino sextet Fitz and the Tantrums could have easily been forgiven for staying the course on their sophomore release. Instead the group opted to boldly modernize on this year's More Than Just a Dream, injecting slick synthesizers and club-friendly beats into the mix without sacrificing an ounce of the rhythmic intensity and classic vocal chops that got them noticed in the first place. While the group's always spotlighted the vocal interplay of Daryl Hall-reminiscent frontman Michael Fitzpatrick and firecracker backing vocalist Noelle Scaggs live, album number two wisely gives the soulful Scaggs a significantly larger share of the recorded spotlight, making an already dynamic band that much more powerful. With Saints of Valory and Ivy Levan.

[0001] This is a divisional of prior application Ser. No. 09/599,242 filed Jun. 22, 2000 entitled "Electronic Programming Guide with Selectable Categories".
[0002] This invention relates generally to electronic programming guides (also known as electronic content guides) for facilitating the selection of programming for viewing.
[0003] Conventionally, electronic programming guides provide a graphical display of programs that are available for viewing on a given channel at given times. Conventional electronic programming guides include a grid display with times across the horizontal axis and channels across the vertical axis. Each program associated with a given channel at a given time may be selected by mouse clicking on the program description. Upon selection, the program is automatically tuned for viewing.
[0004] While such content guides provide many advantages, there are many who would prefer to find programming content using topical or category style listings. Thus, some electronic content guides provide listings for particular categories of content such as movies or sports. However, these content guides generally dispense with any type of time and channel organization and simply list all of the content available within a given category.
[0005] Because the number of available programs at any instance in time is increasing rapidly, there is a continuing need for better ways to organize and implement electronic programming guides. Moreover, existing grid based displays require extensive scrolling to view the full extent of available program listings in some cable and satellite systems, it is sometimes difficult to quickly realize all of the available program options.
[0006] Thus, there is a need for an electronic content guide that better organizes the available content for easier selection and viewing.
[0007]FIG. 1 is a view of a graphical user interface in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention;
[0008]FIG. 2 is a view of a graphical user interface of FIG. 1 after a particular program has been selected for more information;
[0009]FIG. 3 is another version of a graphical user interface for an electronic content guide in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention;
[0010]FIG. 4 is a variation of the graphical user interface shown in FIG. 3 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention;
[0011]FIG. 5 is a flow chart for software in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention;
[0012]FIG. 6 is a flow chart for software in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention; and
[0013]FIG. 7 is a block diagram for hardware in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
[0014] Referring to FIG. 1, a graphical user interface 10 for implementing an electronic content guide includes a plurality of selectable category icons 12 represented as "virtual" file folders. Each category icon 12 may be predefined or may be user definable. Thus, in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, category icon 12 a is provided for favorite programs, 12 b for movies, 12 c for currently available programs, 12 d for programs available in the next hour, 12 e for sports programs, 12 f for news and 12 g for animal related content. Of course, the categorization of content is infinitely variable and a variety of different embodiments may be provided.
[0015] However, in some embodiments of the present invention, it is advantageous to organize the programming into both topical categories and time-based categories. Thus, the categories 12 a, 12 b, 12 e, 12 f and 12 g are topical categories in that they relate to some characteristic of the program other than time. In contrast, the icons 12 c and 12 d select time-based categories, namely programs available now and programs available in an hour. Additional time-based categories may be provided to cover time periods further into the future.
[0016] In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, the category icon 12 c has been selected as indicated by the highlighting 26. A plurality of subcategory icons 14 are then displayed, for example as "virtual" file folders. Conventionally, each of the subcategory icons 14 may be displayed in association with a particular one of the category icons 12 such as the current icon 12 c.
[0017] Thus, when the user selects currently available programs through the icon 12 c, the user may thereafter select currently available news programs through the icon 14 a, currently available sports through the icon 14 b, currently available movies through the icon 14 c, currently available drama series through the icon 14 d, currently available animal programs through the icon 14 e, currently available favorite programs through the icon 14 f and currently available series through the icon 14 g in one embodiment. Of course the variety of categorization within the icons 14 is highly variable.
[0018] One purpose of the category icons 14 may be to refine the amount of information that is displayed on a given graphical user interface. Another purpose may be to reduce the amount of information to an extent that the information is easily discernable in a single screen without excessive scrolling.
[0019] An icon 16 gives the current time. Thus, the current icon 12 c selects content currently available at the time indicated by the icon 16.
[0020] In the illustration shown in FIG. 1, the user has selected the current icon 12 c and the favorites subcategory icon 14 f, both of which are highlighted. Thus, the user has selected favorite programs that are currently available in the illustrated example. The basis for defining favorites may be extremely varied. The user may simply enter what the user decides at any given instance of time, such as any given day of the week, are his or her favorite programs. As another example, the system can automatically discern what are the favorite programs based on how frequently the user views a given program over varying time periods.
[0021] In the illustration shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of programs 22 are listed as entries in two columns 20 a and 20 b. These programs 22 are either currently in progress or just beginning, in keeping with the selection of currently available programs, through the icon 12 c, and favorites among currently available programs through the selection of the icon 14 f.
[0022] Thus, the X-Files program 22, runs from 7:00 to 9:00 as indicated by the indicia 18 and 19. The bar indicia 19 graphically indicates how much of the program has already been displayed or broadcast in the past using differently color indicia 18 and 19. Since the X-Files started at 7:00 and the current time is 8:00, the bar indicia 19 indicates that the program is half completed. Through the juxtaposition of the start time, indicated as 7:00, and the end time, indicated as 9:00, and the bar indicia 19, the user can determine the program timing and can determine how much of the program is left to view as indicated by the differently colored indicia 18.
[0023] Similarly, other programs include a bar type indicia 19 of the available time left in a given program and conversely the amount of the program that has already been missed. In the case of programs that are just starting at the current time (8:00) such as ER, no such graphical bar is provided since no portion of the program has been missed. To select a given program for viewing, the user simply clicks on the program listing 22 and the program is automatically displayed for viewing.
[0024] A plurality of additional icons may be provided such as a search icon 34, a record icon 36 and a chat icon 38. The search icon 34 brings up a graphical user interface that facilitates a keyword search through all the programs available through the graphical user interface 10. The keyword search may search through descriptive textual material stored in association with one or more programs.
[0025] The record icon 36 facilitates the recording of any program on the graphical user interface 10. In one embodiment of the present invention, the user can simply click on a given program and drag and drop it into to the record icon 36, to automatically cause a given program to automatically be recorded. The chat icon 38 may be selected after selecting a given program to automatically enter a chat room associated with a given program.
[0026] Turning next to FIG. 2, the user has mouse selected a program 22 as indicated by the positioning of the mouse cursor 32 over the entry 22. In response to selection of the entry 22, an expanded graphical user interface 21 is produced which overlays the column 20 b (FIG. 1). The interface 21 provides additional information about the selected program entry 22. In this case, additional material 40 is given about the program in general. For example, the title of the program, the stars, and a description of the particular episode may be provided in the material 40. In addition, information may be provided about the current stage of the program. This information may include a video thumbnail 44 depiction of the current frame being displayed plus a description 42 of the particular stage of the program. For example, the description 42 may be provided for a particular chapter or other subdivision within the program 22. However, the description 42 may be even more timely, indicating what is currently going on at that instance in the given ongoing program.
[0027] In addition, the type of content associated with the program, such as science fiction, is indicated at 48. A star system 41 may also be provided to indicate the degree to which the program is one of the user's favorites. For example, based on the number of times that the user watches the series, a program in the series may be given a star rating 41 from one to four stars in one embodiment. This information may be helpful to the user in determining that in fact this program is the one that the user wishes to watch.
[0028] In some embodiments, the entries 22 may be ordered from top to bottom in each column 20 based on the frequency with which the user views the series that includes program represented by an entry 22. For example, the programs with the highest star rating 41 may be listed prominently at the top of the columns 20.
[0029] Turning next to FIG. 3, a graphical user interface 10 a displays entries 22 that satisfy the currently available category icon 12 c and favorites subcategory 12 f, where the number of these entries 22 exceeds the capacity of the two column display shown in FIG. 1. In this case, a three column display is automatically constructed including columns 20 a, 20 b and 20 c.
[0030] While the size of the text associated with each column 20 in FIG. 3 may be unchanged from that shown in FIG. 1, the amount of information, shown in each column 20 may be decreased in one embodiment. For example, the time information may be cut off in the graphical user interface 10 a shown in FIG. 3 to provide enough room to display, on a single display screen, all of the appropriate programs. In some embodiments, additional scrolling may be necessary to see all the available programs.
[0031] If the user wants additional information about a program, the user may select a particular program as indicated by the cursor 32 (on the program Animal Adventures) to cause additional information such as the time information to scroll into view as indicated at 24 in FIG. 4. Thus, additional information may be made available by scrolling the display for each entry 22.
[0032] The user can also click on the displayed entry 22 to receive the additional information, as shown in FIG. 2, through the interface 21. Thus, if the user right clicks on an entry 22, the user may get the interface 21 and if the user left mouse clicks the user gets the scrolling shown in FIG. 4, as one example. To actually select an entry 22 for viewing, the user may double click on the entry 22, in one embodiment.
[0033] The software 50 for implementing the graphical user interface 10, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 5, begins by determining whether a category icon 12 has been selected as indicated in diamond 52. If so, the associated subcategory icons 14 are displayed as indicated in block 54. Thus, in some cases, particular subcategory icons 14 may be associated with a given category icon 12. A check at diamond 56 determines whether one of the subcategory icons 14 has been selected. If so, associated programs 22 are displayed as indicated in block 58. A check at diamond 60 determines whether the user has double clicked on an entry 22. If so, the software 50 automatically tunes the program for viewing as indicated in block 62.
[0034] Otherwise, a check at diamond 64 determines whether a single click has occurred. If so, additional information may be displayed through the interface 21 shown in FIG. 2, for example, as indicated in block 66.
[0035] A check at diamond 68 determines whether the user has dragged and dropped a program into the record icon 36. If so, the program is automatically scheduled for recording as indicated in block 70.
[0036] The set-up software 80, shown in FIG. 6, for setting up the electronic content guide 10 shown in FIG. 1 begins by receiving user category input listings to complete the category icons 12 as indicated in block 82. Next, the software 80 receives input data in the form of user subcategory icon entries 14 as indicated in the block 84. Thereafter, the software 80 may receive the actual entries for a given subcategory in the form of program entries 22 in one embodiment of the present invention, illustrated by the block 86.
[0037] The information received in blocks 82, 84 and 86 may then be assembled into a graphical user interface (block 88). For example, depending on the number of programs that fit within a given category and subcategory, a two column graphical user interface 10 may be assembled as indicated in FIG. 1 or a three or more column interface 10 a may be assembled as indicated in FIG. 4. In addition, the icons 12 and 14 are generated in the file folder format shown in FIG. 4 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
[0038] The number of columns 20 is determined based on the number of programs that satisfy a given category and subcategory as indicated in block 90. If the number of columns is greater than a predetermined number as determined in diamond 92, the scroll feature may be provided. In such case, the amount of information displayed may be reduced from that shown in FIG. 1, for example, to the format shown in FIG. 3 where scrolling is utilized to obtain the time information. In other embodiments of the present invention, depending on the number of program entries to be displayed the size of the individual entries 22 may be reduced by making the font smaller or changing the number of entries per column.
[0039] Turning finally to FIG. 7, a processor-based system 100 for implementing one embodiment of the present invention includes a processor 102 coupled to a north bridge 104. The system 100, for example, may be a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a handheld computer, a processor-based appliance or a set-top box as illustrated in FIG. 7.
[0040] The north bridge 104 couples a system memory 106 and a decoder 110 (via the link 114). The decoder is coupled to a demodulator/tuner 108 and may be coupled to a source of television programming such as a cable connection, the Internet or a satellite receiver. The decoder 110 is also coupled to a television receiver 112. The decoder 110 separates audio and video demodulated content and provides the video information to the north bridge 104 and the audio information to the south bridge 116 by the bus 124 in one embodiment.
[0041] The south bridge 116 communicates with the coder/decoder (codec) 120 that provides an audio output through amplifiers and speakers 122. A hard disk drive 118 is coupled to the south bridge 116 to store software programs 50 and 80. A firmware hub 132 may store basic information for operation of the system 100. The firmware hub 132 may be flash memory or other non-volatile memory in one embodiment of the present invention. The hub 132 may also store information about particular television programs which is desirable to maintain in a non-volatile memory.
[0042] A serial input/output (SIO) device 126 is coupled to an interface 128 which, in one embodiment of the present invention, is a wireless interface such as a radio or infrared interface. The interface 128 communicates with a remote control unit 130 that operates through a compatible interface.
[0043] While the present invention has been described with respect to a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate numerous modifications and variations therefrom. It is intended that the appended claims cover all such modifications and variations as fall within the true spirit and scope of this present invention.

Our table chose currie cr�me, poivre noir, provencale and l'herbe de citron. Complemented by a pichet (or two) of ros� wine from Provence, it was the perfect Alfresco summer meal under the stars.

European Stocks Edge Down
Most European stock markets finished marginally lower Tuesday, as euro-zone sovereign-debt concerns and dismal economic data out of the U.S. stoked nervousness about the global economic outlook.
At the same time, investors believe the U.S. Federal Reserve is about to embark on more extraordinary efforts to boost the economy, moves that could drive stocks higher. As such, sentiment was mixed, traders said.
Overall, the Stoxx Europe 600 index ended down 0.2% at 262.36, while the U.K.'s FTSE 100 index eked out a gain of 0.1% to 5578.44. France's CAC-40 index declined 0.1% to 3762.35, and Germany's DAX was off less than 0.1% to 6276.09.
Despite the nearly flat close, equities in the region endured a roller-coaster session as concerns about Ireland's fiscal woes and banking crisis weighed on markets. The Irish government is expected to announce additional steps to deal with state-owned Anglo Irish Bank later this week.
At the same time, credit-default swaps on major Spanish banks rose, with investors anticipating a possible cut in the country's sovereign-debt rating. Moody's Investors Service, the last big credit-ratings firm to maintain its top rating on Spain—placed Spain's debt under review in July and said it expected to make a decision by October.
In the U.K., the government confirmed earlier second-quarter growth estimates that showed the nation's economy expanded at its fastest pace in nine years during the last quarter. In Germany, consumer- confidence data came in stronger than expected.
U.S. consumer confidence, however, declined sharply in September. The U.S. Conference Board's index of consumer confidence fell to 48.5 from a revised 53.2 in August, first reported as 53.5. The September reading was also far worse than the 52.0 expected by economists. It is the lowest reading since February. Meanwhile, U.S. home prices rose again in July from a month earlier, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller home price index.
Late in Europe, the dollar was at 83.77 yen, down from 84.25 yen and at its lowest level since Japan's huge mid-September intervention to put a brake on its currency's rise. The euro was at $1.3569, up from $1.3444 late Monday.
Among other assets, crude for November delivery was up 17 cents at $76.69 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gold rose $7.30, or 0.6%, to $1,305.90 an ounce on the Comex division of Nymex.
In major market action: Financial stocks were mostly down, mainly due to euro-zone periphery concerns. Shares of Bank of Ireland dropped 7.4% and Allied Irish Banks retreated 5.7% in Dublin, helping push the Irish ISEQ index down 0.8%.
Elsewhere in the banking sector, National Bank of Greece fell 3.2% and Spain's Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria BBVA 0.60 % dropped 1.1%.
Spain's IBEX 35 index fell 0.2% and the Greek ASE Composite declined 1.6%.
In France, Michelin tumbled 10% after the company said it would sell €1.2 billion ($1.6 billion) of new shares to strengthen its credit rating and finance an increase in capital expenditure.
Shares of German pharmaceutical firm Stada Arzneimittel SAZ 0.09 % fell 7.7%. The company announced it will take a charge of €29.5 million in the third quarter related to liquidity problems of Serbian wholesalers. As a result, Stada Arzneimittel expects its operating full-year targets to be "just achievable" if the Serbian business recovers in the fourth quarter.
In the German financial sector, shares of Deutsche Bank dropped 2.2% and those of Commerzbank CRZBY 2.19 % fell 1.7%.
In Amsterdam, Akzo Nobel skidded 2.2% after the paints and specialty-chemicals group set out medium-term targets that disappointed investors. The company is targeting revenue of €20 billion while maintaining a stable profit margin.
In the U.K., hedge-fund manager Man Group MNGPY 2.25 % PLC dropped 2.4% after it said pretax profit will fall by about half due to lower management fees and one-time costs.
Alcatel Lucent ALU 3.06 % rose 1.3% in Paris after the firm won new contracts and following talk of a possible dividend payment being introduced in 2012.

Olympic Fail
October 02, 2009
Yowsers. Obama didn't just fail to bring home the games. Chicago was the first of the four finalists eliminated by the I.O.C. On the bright side, maybe this will once and for all prompt the anti-Olympics backlash America desperately wants and needs.

A professor, a genocide, and NBC's quest for a prime-time hit.
Remembering Eunice Kennedy Shriver
August 11, 2009
Decades ago, my brother-in-law Vincent participated in a local Special Olympic race. He took off at the starter's gun, only to see a panicked fellow contestant overwhelmed by the moment, standing motionless at the starting line. Over the screaming protests of his own mother, he ran back to the starting line, took the girl's hand, and the two ran hand-in-hand, to finish the race. Not every Special Olympic moment is as sweet. Twenty years later, I attended a Special Olympics soccer match. Someone blew a play, only to have a teammate deliver a scolding and a swift kick.
The Year in Architecture
January 05, 2009
To accurately assess trends in architecture and urbanism one needs a time horizon longer than 365 days. Just to design a building often takes longer than that. Even so, 2008 may come to be seen as a watershed year for contemporary architecture. The electrifying campaign for the U.S. presidency, the sputtering housing market and the global economy's free fall, the ever-more chilling and urgent need to slow the pace of global warming: these developments and more awakened architects to the realization that they've more important things to design than monolithic, high-end goodie bags.
The Fantastic Five
September 02, 2008
With Mitt Romney slated to speak at the Republican convention tonight, the question on (at least some) people's minds is what a certain Romney quintet has been doing since Mitt's White House hopes dimmed. During the race for the Republican presidential nomination, you'll remember, Romney's five sons--by descending age: Tagg, Matt, Josh, Ben, and Craig--livened up the campaign trail with their gee-whiz antics, fraternal banter, and out-of-this-world bone structure. Their rise to fame began in early 2007, when they launched a blog, Five Brothers, on their dad's campaign website.
We Are All Featherweight Boxer Raynell Williams
August 15, 2008
First it was Georgia. Now, along comes another issue seemingly tailor-made for John McCain to obsess over: corrupt, pro-Chinese Olympic boxing judges. There's not yet proof, but the Washington Post reports that Olympic judges look like they've tilted to China all week--enough for the U.S. boxing team to call a foul.
Parallels To The Nazi Olympics?
July 21, 2008
While it's not explicitly pegged to the Beijing Olympics, the Holocaust Museum's special exhibition on the 1936 Nazi Olympics--running until August 24--is timed evocatively enough that's impossible to avoid comparison. From the online exhibition: Minimizing its antisemitic agenda and plans for territorial expansion, the regime exploited the Games to impress many foreign spectators and journalists with an image of a peaceful, tolerant Germany.

This time, the plane ride home will be a joyous one. The Arizona football team is no longer winless away from Arizona Stadium. Not after coming from behind to beat host Utah 34-24 at Rice-Eccles Stadium on Saturday night. UA, now 1-3 on the road, is 7-4 overall and is essentially guaranteed an invite to a bowl game next month. Finally, we get to enjoy the trip home, Wildcats coach Rich Rodriguez said on his postgame radio show. I told them that normally we get to enjoy (the win) for 24 hours, but considering what we have next, well enjoy it for 12 hours and move on. Arizona faces Arizona State on Friday night at home in each teams regular-season finale. On Saturday night, Arizona played with moxie and toughness in the second half, gaining its footing on a cold, wet night in Salt Lake City. In fact, the Wildcats were exactly what Rodriguez told them they had to be before the game: resilient. He added that the team had really good focus in getting the win and gutting it out. I ...

You're a mountain man: You prefer scaling cliffs to the treadmill, and have never heard of spin class. Scrub down with this brawny bar, which contains a slew of hydrating oils like olive, coconut, hemp, and soybean, all blended into a shea butter base. Deeply cleansing and never drying, this soap will leave you smelling as fresh as a forest—and feeling like you could chop wood with your bare hands.
I gave this soap to my husband who has sensitive skin and has been looking for a nice smelling soap with little chemicals. This soap is handcrafted which is a plus and it smelled manly when we got it. He said it did not break him out and it will help his skin heal from the other shower gel he uses. Overall I give it a 4 and only one star less because the smell was a little too manly for me.4
I originally ordered the pine tar bar & fell in love with it. It has a great strong scent and the exfoliation was extreme. I just ordered the eucalyptus and Greek yogurt and I cannot even put it in to words. I will be getting a "soapscription" from this company so I'm always in stock. Can't say enough good things about this soap!5
Absolutely love this stuff and at $6 a bar, you simply cannot go wrong. My personal favorite is Pine Tar, but if that's not your thing, they have many other scents that I personally still need to try. In addition to smelling great, you truly feel it doing the job it's intended to do, rather than some soaps which sometimes make you feel like you're taking a cologne bath.5
I have used the gold moss scrub, and pine tar bars, both are great. I really liked the smell of the gold moss scent a lot myself, but i had a couple compliments on how clean i smelled with the pine tar scent, the day after i actually used it. My skin wasnt dry like bar soap normally leaves it. I will definitely be getting more in the future, and trying the other scents.5

If you haven't jumped on the monster-slaying bandwagon that is Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate yet, then GameStop is the next place you're going to want to go. They're currently offering the Wii U version of the game for $19.99, but if you're a PowerUp rewards card member, you'll be able to pick it up for $17. I checked online with various other retailers like Amazon and Best Buy and it seems this is the best deal on the game so far. Amazon is currently sold out and the Best Buy list price is still $40.
Crafting armor from the monsters you've slain has never been so cheap, since the last deal Capcom themselves offered on the game was $25 for a digital copy.

Inspirational Messages from Your Guides and Higher Self
Tammy De Mirza
November 5, 2015
Tammy De Mirza is a channel and psychic medium with 45 years of experience in bringing to people the messages and information they need for healing and growth. She is able to serve in whatever capacity works best, including giving evidential messages from loved ones in spirit, reading the energetic field of her clients to identify and release the physical, emotional or mental blockages, offering the direct life advice of a person's own spirit guides and Higher Self, and speaking from the unconditional love of Source/God, angels, and the ascended masters.
Tammy will begin her presentation with a channeling for the group's themes for the evening, to touch every audience member uniquely and unmistakably. Then she will allow Spirit to guide her to those individuals for whom she has messages that will not only bring personal healing, but will also continue to address the needs of all in attendance. Tammy has experienced many times this magical ability of Spirit to say just the right words in just the right ways to reach everyone present, and she delights in sharing her connection to divine wisdom. She also enjoys sharing the techniques that empower people to hear and trust their own intuition and inner guidance.
Tammy started receiving clear messages from God/Source at the age of 11, often knowing things about others that no one had told her physically. Throughout High School she was known as "The Counselor" for her abilities to give readings and guidance beyond her years. Her gifts also set her upon the difficult path of learning to integrate and manage such differentness from others, which continued through many years of raising children even as strangers would arrive for her advice. Tammy has studied with several well-known masters, teachers, and mediums, but she continues to rely most upon her own direct divine connection. This knowledge comes to her both upon waking each morning and by visions and teachings throughout the day.
In addition to private consultations, Tammy is also currently developing courses for students of spiritual development. Her hope is to help everyone discover their unique gifts which offer endless abilities to succeed in love and life. To learn more about Tammy and her work please visit her website at www.TammyDeMirza.com

MAYFLOWER, Ark. (KTHV) - Nearly five months after an Exxon Mobil oil spill in a Mayflower neighborhood, the vast majority of homeowners there have yet to return home. Now the company has told some of those residents that it's about to stop paying for their temporary housing.
Since the spill, most of the residents evacuated from the Northwoods Subdivision have been living in temporary housing paid for by Exxon. On Tuesday, eleven of those homeowners got word that Exxon will cut them off from any more money for that temporary housing within the next month.
The company said temporary housing should have ended when federal, state and local officials deemed the homes of evacuees safe to return to. THV 11 spoke with one of those residents who said she can't afford to pay for both an apartment and her mortgage, meaning she'll likely be forced to move back into her home even though she doesn't want to go back.
U.S. Rep. Tim Griffin vowed to put pressure on Exxon to continue funding temporary housing for those displaced by the spill. In a statement given to THV 11 Griffin said:
"ExxonMobil promised that it would not set a hard and fast timeline for ending assistance but instead would consider the individual circumstances of those affected, so I am holding Exxon to their word and asking anyone who needs more time to call me on my cell phone so I can help. ExxonMobil must keep their word and make things right for the folks affected in Mayflower who didn't ask for this nightmare in the first place. Victims of this spill must be made whole and the drinking water for more than 400,000 Arkansans must remain safe."
Attorney General Dustin McDaniel sued Exxon Mobil in June, claiming improper waste storage and water contamination.
