A (quiet) revolution in the building materials industry is slowly peeling back the layers of opacity surrounding these products and helping designers to build healthier spaces.
2011 was a year of revolution. Following a wave of protests that swept across the Arab world, the governments of Tunisia, Egypt and Libya fell dramatically. Angry citizens in Greece and Italy forced the resignation of top officials and pushed the European Union to the brink of chaos, while here in the United States, Occupy Wall Street protestors called for a reworking of our entire financial system to address economic inequality.
All of these events are vivid examples of people collectively demanding that the system change to meet their needs, but not all radical change happens as result of people taking to the streets. Sometimes it happens when people demand to change a fundamental way of life—like how they buy things.
The "buy local" movement is a good example of a radical change in thinking that the environmentalist
Bill McKibben has called "a quiet revolution begun by ordinary people with the stuff of our daily lives." The buy local movement has its limitations, however, because in today's complex global manufacturing economy not everything can be bought locally or fabricated in one location. Many of our modern materials and products are comprised of multiple ingredients and components that are sourced from all over the world. This means that consumers need another mechanism besides the simple buy local approach to make informed decisions about the potential ecological, social and human health impacts of their purchases. What they need is a more transparent economy.
Marketplace transparency, or "radical transparency" as coined by Daniel Goleman in his 2009 book Ecological Intelligence, removes the barriers to free and easy access to information so that people can understand the ecological impact of their actions. This is drastically changing how business is conducted. In 2011, the best example of this change was not in supermarkets or big box stores, but in the building material and product industry.
According to a 1995 study by Roodman and Lenssen, each year about 3 billion tons of materials are used in the manufacturing of building products worldwide. This equates to about 40-50 percent of the total flow in the global economy. Despite its huge size, the construction material market is largely opaque about material composition. Unlike food and drugs, consumers only know the composition of a building product if the manufacturer is willing to disclose it. There are no regulations that require disclosure of building product content.
In recent years, the general public has become increasingly worried that environmental contaminants may be damaging human health; this has begun the process of peeling back the layers of opacity to slowly reveal more and more information.
The first layer being peeled back is what a product is not, or in other words, what substances of concern are not contained in it. This is the most basic level of transparency. Just like the front of a cereal box that proclaims its contents to be "sugar free," many manufacturers are labeling their products "PVC free" or "BPA free." This is helpful information, but it doesn't tell you anything about what a product is actually made out of.
The second layer being peeled back gives information about how a product may contribute to a green rating system. This level of transparency is analogous to the daily recommended serving on the nutritional label of a cereal box. For example, products are labeled "low VOC" (grams per liter for VOCs are like grams of fat per serving) for the low-emitting material credits under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system. Like the first layer, this is useful information and is more directed toward human health concerns like indoor air quality, but it still doesn't tell you what it is.
When the third level of opaqueness is peeled back by a manufacturer, the consumer gets a more detailed understanding of the potential human and ecological impacts of a product, but through the filter of another party. This is often done through a second- or third-party reviewer such as MBDC's Cradle to Cradle certification. Similar to being certified as an organic food, this type of certification relies on the consumer to trust the certifier, and more importantly to understand what is being certified.
The last layer of opaqueness to be peeled back is the revealing of a product's composition and ecological footprint directly to the consumer. This means directly and publicly stating what a product is (its composition) and information about its life-cycle. This level of transparency—direct disclosure by a manufacturer—allows a consumer to fully evaluate a product for him or herself.
The strongest and most pointed advocacy for building product transparency has come from within the green building movement. Last June, the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) actively began to use its influence to promote building material transparency as a way to better understand and measure the environmental footprint of a project with LEED Pilot Credit 43, which requires project teams to provide documentation that at least 10 percent (by weight) of all nonstructural building products used in a project have either a third-party certification or are compliant with LEED's list of standards.
Advocacy for building product transparency isn't limited to the USGBC. The Materials Research Collaborative, a joint initiative of the Healthy Building Network and BuildingGreen, unveiled the Health Product Declaration (HPD) at Greenbuild last October. The HPD is an open standard format that communicates product content and environmental performance with the goal of increasing "the transparency and accuracy of product content and associated health information." The HPD system makes available key health data about product including the composition, listed in sequence by amount—like a FDA label—to one part per million. The HPD has been endorsed by over 34 design firms, including some of the largest firms in the country. This last fall, the Material Research Collaborative began to sign on manufacturers to start using the Health Product Declarations in 2012.
The testing agency UL Environment (ULE) states on its website that "today's marketplace demands independently verified environmental claims backed by the highest level of transparency." To meet this need, ULE launched its environmental product declaration (EPD) program a year ago. ULE's program is third-party certification based upon ISO 14025 standards, which provides environmental information about a product, including product content in great detail. Like the HPD, the EPD lists a product's composition in sequence by amount, down to one part per million.
The forward-thinking carpet tile manufacturing company Interface has committed to creating EPDs for its products and revealed its first EPDs this fall at Greenbuild. Interface was joined at the show by another enlightened manufacturer, Construction Specialties, which unveiled the building industry's first-ever on-product ingredient label. Construction Specialties collaborated with the international design firm Perkins+Will (disclosure: I am an employee of the firm) to develop this label, which gives the complete ingredients of a product, and critical life-cycle and potential human health impact information. Because the product itself is labeled, it differs from the ULE and HPD systems; it allows everybody who handles the product over the course of its life direct access to its human health and ecological information.
The quiet transparency revolution is happening now. A fully transparent building product marketplace now seems inevitable. Naysayers or those who dismiss transparency as a fad should remember the success of Coca-Cola. They have had the ingredients of their "secret formula" listed on the side of their cans since 1913; their profits have risen steadily ever since.
Peter Syrett, AIA, LEED AP is the New York K-12 education market leader for Perkins+Will. His expertise focuses on sustainable institutional projects, specifically K-12 and healthcare work. He lectures regularly on green institutional design and is a recognized expert in the field.

Ludacris Leaves Airport Without Daughter
Listen to Ludacris Radio on iHeartRadio
(TMZ) - Ludacris landed in Atlanta Monday morning and left one item at the airport ... his 13-year-old daughter ... but Luda says Delta royally screwed up, reports TMZ.
Sources tell TMZ ... the two were flying together from LAX to Atlanta, where his daughter Karma was going to catch a connecting flight to NYC solo. Turns out there was a 4-hour layover. Ludacris left his daughter in the first class lounge.
The problem ... Luda's daughter is not allowed to fly without an adult, because she's under 15, so Delta would not let her on the flight.
According to TMZ, Delta called Ludacris and informed him the airline would provide adult supervision if he paid a $100 fee, but the rapper refused. So he came back to the airport, picked up his daughter and they went home.
A rep for Ludacris tells TMZ ... Luda booked the flight himself - a first class ticket - and was told there would only be a 1 1/2 hour layover. Luda claims he was told when he bought the ticket the only requirement was that an adult needed to be present in NYC when the plane landed - Karma's mom.
Luda was shocked and angry when Delta changed the rules.

Psychotherapy is the science based art of understanding and alleviating pain; in recent decades it has also become about promoting and advancing meaning and experiences of joy. In my practice I first do a caring and comprehensive evaluation to make sure that I understand each person's unique story and situation. I then kindly partner with my clients in setting measurable goals so that we keep the work accountable and so that we know when we are done. I then collaborate with my clients in choosing the science-based therapy that stands the best chance of alleviating their pain, and helping them to make the most out of this lavish banquet that surrounds us all, as quickly as possible.

Rock Hall welcomes Class Of 2013 in gala ceremony in L.A.
Rush is now officially a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Canadian trio were one of the more celebrated honorees at the event, and received a standing ovation as they entered the ceremony.
In his induction remarks, drummer Neil Peart acknowledged that he and his bandmates were wrong for downplaying the significance of the honor, admitting that they've "been saying for a long time that this isn't a big deal. Turns out it is."
Frontman Geddy Lee extended the band's gratitude to the band's loyal followers, saying Rush has "the most passionate, most dedicated fan base in the world." Foo Fighters Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins presented Rush at the event, and also performed "2112" in their honor.
But Rush was just one of the night's honorees. Soundgarden's Chris Cornell welcomed Heart into the Rock Hall. But in accepting the honor, Nancy Wilson stated that Heart's induction was by no means capping off their career, adding that they're "not finished rocking just yet."
Randy Newman was the first member of the Rock Hall's Class of 2013 to be inducted. He also kicked off the festivities with a nod to the city that hosted the event, teaming up with John Fogerty, Tom Petty, and Jackson Browne in performing "I Love L.A."
The Rock Hall's Class of 2013 also includes Public Enemy, who's frontman Chuck D. reminded everyone that the diverse mix of musical styles being honored have a common bond, and are all rooted in the blues.
The late Donna Summer was also welcomed into the Rock Hall, while Oprah Winfrey took part in honoring inductee Quincy Jones. Blues great Albert King and record producer Lou Adler were also among the inductees.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Class of 2013 induction ceremony took place at the Nokia Theater L.A. Live in Los Angeles Thursday night. The ceremony will air as an HBO special on May 18th.

Maple Grove Trails Map
Web Map With Trails and Driving Directions
One of the oldest forest preserves in DuPage County, Maple Grove is the largest remaining remnant of the vast maple forest that became Downers Grove. Because less than 0.5 percent of Illinois' natural areas are intact today, Maple Grove is both a rare historic forest and a valuable natural area. The preserve is categorized as a "globally endangered ecosystem" by ecologists.
The preserve's remnant black maple savanna and upland maple forest communities host hundreds of plant species, some of which are threatened or endangered. Spring is an especially wonderful time at Maple Grove, with carpets of trillium, buttercups and wild geraniums blooming throughout the forest. In fall, the preserve's woodlands put on a spectacular color show, and are home to a variety of birds, from indigo buntings to great horned owls. The preserve is also a migratory bird stopover.
Picnic tables, water pumps and portable washrooms are available for visitors. Ground fires are not allowed, but visitors are welcome to bring their own grills and use the hot-coal disposal containers on site.
Multipurpose and interpretive trails wind through the maple forest, where hikers can appreciate the spring wildflowers and amazing fall colors. Trails are provided to experience this rare habitat; please follow all rules.
Working under the direction of the Office of Natural Resources, volunteer site stewards and "Volunteer Restoration Workday" participants help to monitor and manage the large maple woodland and oak savanna that make up this preserve. For information on volunteer opportunities at Maple Grove and other forest preserves, visit the Natural Resource Management volunteer page, or contact Volunteer Services at (630) 933-7681 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County is committed to making its facilities accessible to all visitors. For special accessibility needs or concerns, please contact the District's ADA coordinator at (630) 933-7683 orTTY (800) 526-0857 at least three business days in advance of your visit.

The monsoon was unfavourable for ascending the channel, and la perouse therefore resolved to pass to the east of the island.
Now and then the clouds would lift, showing the twin peaks of la perouse and the majestic summits of Mts.

But the veil which hid the fate of la perouse and his companions was not destined to be removed for a long time yet.
Lastly, although the fact be not ethnological, the Vanikoro cluster is the locality where la perouse perished.
This remark proves that la perouse was capable of doing justice to his predecessors.
la perouse does not pause to give any details about the inhabitants of the Sandwich Islands.
The news he brought was pleasant for every one, but particularly for la perouse, who learned that he was promoted.
la perouse established an observatory upon one of the islands in the bay, and set up tents for the sail makers and smiths.

Finding Your Ancestor in State Hospital Records
Posted by Diane
My grandmother died at the Cleveland State Hospital during the Flu Epidemic of 1918 after staying there two months. I've learned the hospital was torn down, but I could never find out where the records went. How can I get them?
We received this question in response to a
Family Tree Magazine
E-mail Update newsletter editorial
about my search for my great-grandmother's Cleveland (Ohio) State Hospital records. I'd learned from her death certificate that she died there.
To learn the whereabouts of the hospital records, I first did a
search on
"Cleveland State Hospital"
learned some history
. The hospital was once called the Newburgh Asylum and was demolished in 1977.
The Google search also led me to a
Web page from the Case Western Reserve University archives
, which referred me to the
Ohio Historical Society
for patient records. That made sense: Records of a state institution would probably be in that state's archives.
I searched the
Ohio Historical Society library catalog
and found (after experimenting with various search terms) entries for patient admission and discharge books. The catalog listing labels these hospital records "restricted" and instructs you to call the archives for more information.
The public can't access these records because patients named in them may have passed medical conditions to their descendants, who may be living. Instead, I submitted a research request and a $25 fee. A few weeks later, I received a transcription and photocopies of my ancestor's entries in admission and discharge registers (the archivist had obscured other patients' names in the photocopy).
A reader e-mailed us a suggestion to examine county court records, too, for documents related to commitment hearings. She'd obtained her great-uncle's "Inquest of Lunacy 1884, the full medical certificate of the doctor's exam and the application of admission by the probate judge." Write the court clerk or see if the
Family History Library
has microfilmed the records, in which case you'd be able to borrow them for a fee through a branch Family History Center.

I remember seeing as a child a clipped newspaper ad for a boxing match in which one of my ancestors (with a very distinctive surname) participated. Is there a way to track down old newspaper advertisements? I'm almost positive this was from a Chicago area newspaper, at least 75 years old, but beyond that I don't have much to work with.
Newspaper research can be time-consuming because not many papers are indexed online—but what a thrill it would be to find this ad!
You'd need to narrow the possibilities for which newspaper this could be, then locate repositories or online databases that carry the newspapers you want to search for the time period in question. One way to do this is searching the
Illinois Newspaper Project online directory
. Results show newspaper titles and years of publication; click the title to see repositories holding that publication.
If the papers you need are in a database such as
ProQuest Historical Newspapers
(available through many libraries), or
(by subscription), you're in luck: Such databases use optical character recognition to search both articles and advertisements.
If the newspapers you need aren't in an online database, you'll have to visit the holding library to view it on microfilm, or ask your library to request the film through interlibrary loan.
To reduce your microfilm scrolling time, narrow the time period when you think the ad ran as much as possible. Try doing a
search on terms such as Chicago boxing history. I came up with an interesting
Encyclopedia of Chicago Web page
—looks like boxing was a popular pastime in the Windy City. Browse local history books, too: You could find mention of the match your ancestor fought.
You may already have done this, but ask your relatives if they remember when this boxing match happened. (You might as well ask if they have copies of the ad, too.)

It's Only Natural
Posted by Allison
Several branches of my family came to United States in the 1860s from Sweden and Germany and England—before Ellis Island. Were these people automatically made citizens or did they have to apply for naturalization? Where would one go to learn of this procedure?
Any immigrant coming to the United States in the mid-1800s would have had to be naturalized to become a citizen. The process was twofold: First, the newcomer would have filed a declaration of intent for citizenship (referred to as "first papers"). After fulfilling the five-year residency requirement, he could then file his petition for naturalization. He had to sign these "final papers"—so if you can find that petition, you'll have the added treat of seeing your ancestor's John Hancock.
When male immigrants were naturalized, their children also automatically received citizenship. Between 1855 and 1922, their wives did, too.
The federal government standardized the naturalization process (including the paperwork) in 1906. Since your ancestors arrived before that, they could've filed for citizenship in any court—they might even have started the process in one location, then completed it in another. To cover all your bases, you'll need to hunt for records at the local, county and state levels.
Start with a place search of the
Family History Library catalog
for locations where your ancestors might have petitioned, and look under the naturalization heading to identify records available on microfilm. Next, check archives at all three levels. Some archives and other official stewards of naturalization records have posted indexes and documents online: See
Joe Beine's state-by-state directory of links
is also helpful.
US Citizenship and Immigration Services has copies of all post-1906 naturalization records. To request those, download and fill out form
and mail it to US Citizenship and Immigration Serivces FOIA/PA, 111 Massachusetts Ave.,
Washington, DC 20529 (be sure to write "Freedom of Information Act Request" on the envelope).
Naturalization records can be a gateway to finding your ancestor's passenger arrival list, as they often tell port and date of immigration (though the earlier the records, generally the less detail they contain). In fact, that's how I confirmed the family story of my great-grandfather Henry Essel's 1888 arrival through Philadelphia, enabling me to locate the ship manifest recording him and his family.
You can learn more about the naturalization process in

Suspicious Death
Posted by Diane
Leslie Carlisle Grant was born about 1912 in Macon Co., NC. I last found him on the 1930 census in Miami, Dade Co., Fla., living near his sister Ethel Heinneman. Shortly after, he supposedly joined the Army. Coming home on leave from who knows where in 1931 or 1932, he supposedly drowned in New Orleans' Lake Pontchartrain or the Gulf of Mexico. How can I find out where he was in the military, and what records show about him?
from the FamilyTreeMagazine.com Brick Walls Forum
Unfortunately, military service records won't help you, since the War Department didn't compile service records for the Regular Army—men who served during peacetime. (For more, see

Autopsy Reports, Proces Verbaux, 1905-1968 include the date and cause of death as well as other information from autopsies. Coroner's Record Book Journals, 1905-1969, record all cases referred to the coroner.

Saving Old Scrapbooks
Posted by Diane
I've discovered scrapbooks my mother made in the 1930 and '40s. They include photos and paper ephemera such as party napkins and dance programs. The scrapbook pages are black and the items are glued on. What's the best way to preserve this material? Also, I'd like to take pictures of each page. Should I use a traditional camera with no flash or digital camera with a built-in flash?
Those albums with black pages were common during the early 1900s, and people often wrote in them with opaque white ink. "Black scrapbook paper is not the best choice for photo storage," says preservation expert and blogger at
The Practical Archivist
Sally Jacobs. The paper's high acid content can make it brittle over time.
The glue your mom used may be acidic, too. "Even so, it would be unwise to try to deconstruct the scrapbook," advises Jacobs. That's because you can lose important caption information, and separating glued-together paper is a risky move best done by a professional archivist.
Jacobs recommends inserting acid-free, buffered tissue between the scrapbook pages. ("Regular-thickness paper would make the book too thick by the time you finish," she says.) Buffered paper contains alkaline ingredients, which will help neutralize the acids in the black paper and slow their migration to the album's contents.
Then, to protect the book against light and dust, store it flat in an archival drop-front box in a size as close as possible to the dimensions of the scrapbook.
You can purchase archival tissue and boxes from suppliers such as
Archival Methods
Gaylord Brothers
, and
Light Impressions
"Bring out the scrapbook and show it off to anyone who wants to see it, but tuck it away somewhere safe the rest of the time," Jacobs says. That means in a house that's cooled in the summer and heated in the winter, ideally in an interior closet to reduce temperature fluctuations. Avoid attics and basements.
You're on the right track in wanting to visually preserve the pages. The problem with using a built-in flash is that you can get a glare from shiny surfaces, such as a glossy photo or anything metallic, in the book.
"If the scrapbook doesn't have anything reflective on the pages, you might get away with the digital/flash camera," says
Family Tree Magazine
's photographer Al Parrish. "But it would probably be safer to use some sort of available light, such as outside on a cloudy day, with the camera white balance set to Auto." Parrish also highly recommends a tripod.
You could try doing this yourself, and if you're unsatisfied with the results and you can afford it, hire a professional photographer to shoot the book.

Swede Success
Posted by Diane
My grandfather Carl August Petersson (he later went by Charles) was born in 1863 in Sweden, and died in America in 1927. I've spent years searching unsuccessfully for his birth parish. He came immigrated around the mid-1800's and spent most of his life in northern California. Records I've found list his birthplace as only "Sweden."
—QueenBea, on the FamilyTreeMagazine.com Brick Walls Forum
Have you tried church records? David Fryxell, who wrote our guide to Swedish research in the
October 2006
Family Tree Magazine
, says many Swedish-American churches kept records as thorough as those of their counterparts in Sweden.
Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center
has a broad church records collection, including several in California. The Swenson center is in Illinois, but you can request a $25-per-hour search by a staff member.
Search for Carl in immigration records (such as those for New York City arrivals indexed at
) and check the book
Swedish Passenger Arrivals in the United States, 1820-1850
by Nils William Olsson (Schmidts Boktryckeri AB, out of print). Look for it at large genealogy libraries including the
Family History Library
in Salt Lake City.
Since you don't know Carl's parish, Fryxell recommends a searchable CD such as

Whatever Floats Your Riverboat
Posted by Diane
. My German ancestors arrived at New Orleans in 1853 and traveled to Ohio by river boat. I've found their passenger list to New Orleans, but how can I find record of the next segment of their journey?
. Congratulations on finding your ancestors on a New Orleans passenger list!
"It was pretty much a given that when traveling from New Orleans to anywhere up river or out west one took passage on a riverboat," says "Riverboat Dave," Webmaster of
Riverboat Dave's Paddlewheel Site
. Early boats, powered by burning wood, were called steamboats. In 1811, the New Orleans was the first one to sail on the Mississippi from New Orleans to the mouth of the Ohio (read more on the
Army Corps of Engineers' steamboat navigation page
Most boats did keep passenger lists along with freight lists and crew lists, but they often weren't thorough. "Many boats were rather lackadaisical about their business," Dave says. "Riverboats were much like a Greyhound bus is these days. People were getting on and off at all manner of landings and towns—must have been a job keeping track of the comings and goings of all of them."
Not all passenger lists survived, and they're not in the same type of organized location or familiar standardized format of post-1820 immigration lists. Steamboat records are usually in archival manuscript collections. Start with public and university libraries, historical societies and museums near your relatives' stop in Ohio (if you don't have that information, research backward from their last known location).
Also check libraries and historical societies in "river towns" such as St. Louis and Cincinnati. The
Public Library of Greater Cincinnati and Hamilton County
special collections department
is home to the
Inland Rivers Library
, which contains photographs, maps, freight and account books, crew registers and passenger lists for specific vessels. The
Missouri Historical Society
in St. Louis has a
Steamboats and River History Collection
spanning 1802 to 1986.
You can search for materials in 10,000 libraries worldwide using
; see the
May 2007 Family Tree Magazine
for information on using it.
Knowing the dates of your ancestors' journey and the boat they took will help in your search. Bookstores, libraries and the Internet are full of information on steamboat history to help you.
Way's Packet Directory 1848-1994: Passenger Steamboats Of The Mississippi River System Since the Advent of Photography in Mid-Continent America
, revised edition, by Frederick Way Jr. (Ohio University Press; out of print) is a directory of boats with photos, years in operation, rivers covered, captains' names and other details.
Riverboat Dave's site also has an alphabetical boat index, as well as articles, maps, queries and more. I recommend starting with the
site guide
. You'll find more
Mississippi River resource recommendations
A steamboat's arrival often was an exciting event. Search local newspapers—usually at local libraries, but sometimes digitized in subscription newspaper databases such as
—where your ancestors landed when you think they arrived.

Tradesmen and small-business owners will have a new compact work-van option when the Transit Connect lands in Ford Motor Co. showrooms this summer. Designed specifically for working applications, this all-purpose vehicle is already a popular choice in Europe, where it has been available since 2002.
Built by Ford in Turkey for export worldwide, the Transit Connect will compete here with such currently available work vehicles as the compact Chevy HSS, the small Dodge Sprinter, and the full-size Dodge Ram. Unlike the HSS and Ram vans, however, the Transit Connect is a purpose-built work vehicle intended for customization by authorized aftermarket upfitters to suit a variety of jobs and businesses. It offers 22/25 mpg (city/highway) fuel economy, up to 1,600 pounds of cargo capacity, and a starting price of $21,475.
Even before the first gas-powered Transit Connects go on sale here, Ford has announced that it is planning to offer a battery-powered, all-electric version of the vehicle for the U.S. market sometime next year. The vehicle will be developed by Smith Electric Vehicles, a U.S. subsidiary of the U.K.-based Tanfield Group. According to Ford, SEV already produces medium-duty commercial battery-electric versions of the Transit, as it's known in Europe.
Smith Electric Vehicles has announced plans to build all-electric, zero-emission commercial vehicles near its Kansas City, Mo., headquarters beginning later this year. Production will initially focus on battery-powered vehicles for depot-based fleets.
The start-up will initially employ 120 people, assisted by $3 million in job training funds and incentives from the state of Missouri and Kansas City. SEV U.S. Corp., a subsidiary of a U.K.-based company that has been producing electric vehicles for the European market since 1920, has already signed partnership agreements to provide vehicles for major U.S. fleet operators and utilities. Vehicles produced here will use components and chassis from multiple vehicle manufacturers.
The first truck to be built at the all-new plant will be the Smith Newton, a proven model that is the world's largest battery-electric-powered truck. It has a top speed of up to 50 mph, a range of over 100 miles on one six- to eight-hour lithium-ion battery charge, and a payload of up to 16,280 pounds. The vehicle will use a 120-kilowatt motor and drive system built by another U.S. company, Enova Systems of Torrance, Calif.
Bryan Hansel, chief executive officer of SEV U.S. Corp., said the start-up will help to reduce the cost of other commercial electric vehicles over time: "As more truck fleets adopt this technology, it will drive advancements in battery technology (and) drive down manufacturing costs."
Through its U.K. partner, the Tanfield Group PLC, SEV U.S. Corp. is working with Ford Motor Co. to electrify the Ford Transit Connect as a battery-electric light-duty van scheduled for production in 2010.

Dan McCool didn't hesitate when asked why he spent the last 10 years researching and writing a book on America's rivers.
"What's more important than water?" asked the director of the University of Utah's Environment and Sustainability Studies Program and political science professor. "That is the one thing we can't live without. It shapes our lives and society...Water raises all kinds of issues including fairness, social justice, how we treat other people and who we deprive of water…In the largest sense, water to a great extent determines our quality of life."
Unlike many environmental books, McCool's River Republic: The Fall and Rise of America's Rivers examines some success stories.
It profiles what he calls "instigators" such as Zach Frankel of the Utah Rivers Council or Rich Ingebretsen of the Glen Canyon Institute who fight long odds in idealistic efforts to restore rivers or remove dams.
The well written and accessible book is national in scope, looking at the history of the Bureau of Reclamation and Army Corps of Engineers and their efforts to dam and use nearly every river in America. But it also examines how those two agencies are redefining their missions in an era where dams are being removed in some parts of the nation and where the economics of recreation, wildlife, cleaner water and free-flowing rivers can trump the benefits of cheap hydropower and irrigation.
He said Americans, as never before, must face decisions about valuing rivers for their own sake and not as simply natural resources to be exploited.
"I see positive, hopeful signs that America as a society has turned a corner and is developing this new water ethic," said McCool. "We are competing with the alternative approaches, which are old, traditional, exploitative uses of rivers. Now at least we have a choice."
That choice, as he sees it, involves continuing what he calls non-sustainable exploitative uses of rivers which, if continued, could create serious problems in the future because current water management practices cannot be sustained in the long-term.
One of the problems with doing that is that removing dams and restoring rivers and fisheries can be an expensive proposition in a time when the U.S. budget is running massive deficits. McCool calls himself an environmentalist but also a fiscal conservative.
"Historically in the United States, one of the most egregious sources of waste in federal spending has been water projects," he said. "They are infamous for wasting the taxpayers' money and have been doing that for 150 years. We have not only allowed federal agencies to destroy many of our rivers for a questionable and limited set of benefits, but we've had to pay a lot of money to do it."
He would like to see a bipartisan commission formed that is similar to the military base closure commission. It would assess all Bureau of Reclamation and Corps of Engineers projects as to their value to society. If they are no longer serving a purpose or even costing more money than they are worth to operate, the dams would be torn down.
McCool gained his love of rivers growing up in central Indiana next to a small boy scout camp, a patch of woods and a small river called Fall Creek located in the midst of suburbs, hog farms and corn fields.
"That was really the only place where a small boy could run around and enjoy nature, feel free and investigate what the world likes like," he recalled.
He continued that love of rivers when he moved to Utah. He purchased a raft and began running rivers, something he still enjoys.
"There is always something interesting down river," he said. "You don't know what it is, but it is different from where you are."
That love comes through loud and clear in River Republic, The Fall and Rise of America's Rivers.

Meatal stenosis
Meatal stenosis
Meatal stenosis results from irritation of the urethral opening at the end of the penis, which leads to tissue growth and scarring across the opening. The growth narrows the end of the penis causing the urine flow to become a fine narrow stream. Sometimes there is also bleeding at the end of urination. Meatal stenosis can usually be treated in the physician's office using local anesthesia to the area and dilating (widening) the urethral opening with special instruments.

The attacker once again starts off by doing a quick sweep of the network with nmap and after identifying the target proceeds to do a port scan on the target. However this time around, no ports respond (due to the firewall being enabled by default now), which limits the returned information.
The attacker then moves onto creating a resource file for metasploit which, by using railgun calls a simple Windows API command to display a message box which is used to give feedback to the target that the program has been executed and not left wondering what's happening.
The attacker continues the metasploit usage by creating the agent and configuring metasploit to listen for a connection back to it. Once a connection has been created the attacker sets the resource script to be automatically executed.
The attacker proceeds by setting up an Apache web server which is used to deliver the agent to the user. The attacker enables and creates a "distributed configuration file" (.htaccess), that links any requested URL to the metasploit agent and returns with the same name as requested.
As the attacker now has a backdoor and a delivery system ready the attacker needs a method of filtering the web traffic to create a rule to replace any requested URL which ends in EXE (which is a very common application extension used in a windows environment) to be redirected to the attackers web server instead. The attacker installs Squid3 cache proxy that can do such a thing by using a perl script (replace.pl).
Ettercap could of also been used for an alternative solution, however due to limited scripting functionality the results weren't as high.
As everything is now ready, the attacker just needs to redirect the traffic via their machine. Like before, the attack performs an ARP man in the middle attack with the aid of arpspoof.
Everything is in place and ready for the target to request a program. This can be done by either requesting it themselves (visiting a site and downloading it "manually") or by a program that is already installed (it has to check for an update, found that there is an update available and automatically downloads & executes the program.)
After waiting, the attacker notices that a session has been created and is able to stop the man in the middle attack as the attacker doesn't need to have the targets traffic as they have a direct connection to the target themselves.
A simple bit of privilege escalation gives the attacker complete access to the targets machine.
- The recording software did glitch in a few places - which I re-recorded a section and edited it in.
- The first time when the target tries to download an application, they click on the notification bar at the top, rather than re-clicking on the click.
- Adobe flash official web site, detects the browser agent and uses a different delivery system to install, which wouldn't have worked in default browser (Internet Explorer).
- Not every auto-update features use ".exe" files to update.
- It is recommended to check the checksum (E.g. MD5 or SHA1) of download programs before executing.
- It is recommended to only download from the official sites, sources or mirrors. Flash was downloaded from adobe.com (filehippo redirects to it), whereas notepad++ was hosted on filehippo.com

(4/19/2010) New Haven, Conn. -- Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. and the Department of Cultural Affairs are pleased to announce the 2010/2011 Mayor�s Community Arts Grant Program funding cycle. The program is designed to facilitate outreach and exposure of New Haven�s many artists and neighborhood-based organizations in three program areas: Arts Programming, Cultural Heritage and Artist Education. Goals of the program are 1.) to encourage the education of emerging artists; 2) to strengthen neighborhood cohesiveness through collaborative programs, particularly aimed at families and youth 3) to promote and celebrate cultural awareness and diversity
�We are proud to extend support to artists and organizations throughout New Haven because they play a significant role in the continuous cultural development of our city,� said Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. �The community has enjoyed the impact that grant recipients in the past have had on New Haven�s neighborhoods. I look forward to the success of this year�s participating artists and call upon them especially to work with young people to increase interests in the arts and bring the arts into their lives.�
The Mayor�s Community Arts Grants program has targeted community and youth groups as well as individuals who are presenting, teaching or practicing artists working in the City of New Haven especially those who do not have non-profit status, a classification that is normally required to apply for funding from most granting organizations. Non-profit arts organizations working with neighborhood groups are also eligible to apply for this program.
The 2010/2011 grants packet (guidelines, application and letter of intent) is now available. Interested parties are required to submit a letter of intent to apply by May 14, 2010. A series of free information sessions will be presented at various city library branches for prospective applicants who are strongly urged to attend one in their neighborhood. The sessions will be held as follows: Wilson (Hill) Library May 3 at 5pm; Fair Haven Library - May 5 at 5pm; Mitchell Library -May 11 at 5pm; Stetson Library - May 12 at 5pm and Downtown Library - May 13 at 5:30pm;. Workshops on budget preparation, marketing and production are being developed, and Cultural Affairs staff are also available to provide assistance.
�We are fortunate to be able to offer a grant program that further strengthens New Haven�s local cultural scene by providing financial support where it�s needed the most. New Haven has so many talented artists and organizations that incorporate arts and cultural activities into their neighborhood activities and enrich our community as a whole,� stated Barbara Lamb, Director of the Department of Cultural Affairs.
The program, managed by the Department of Cultural Affairs, has supported over 163 organizations since its inception in 2000 and helped to fund arts and cultural activities such as festivals, murals, performances, and apprenticeships in New Haven�s neighborhoods.
The application deadline is June 3, 2010. A total of $25,000 will be awarded through grants up to $2,000. The grant application package is available for download on the City�s website, visit www.cityofnewhaven.com/EconomicDevelopment/CulturalAffairs.asp#GP .

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Nice area, very clean, renovated Very bad sound insulation. Could hear every body walking in doorway with bags and talking in low voice. Aloso a 2Euro extra tax on arrival ????? Why? And if you don't have a phone to call on arrival, you will be stuck on the sidewalk for a while as the place is not identified in a large bulding. Just press on every door bell and you might get the door to open!
Location Barrio alto
The reception staff were excellent especially the breakfast lady from Poland
Very nice building and very nice room with view to sea. Staffs are very friendly and helpful.
Excellent insulation against noise and cold. Charming and very helpfull staff. Terribly cheap, including usefull breakfast. The carpets in the room should be thrown away as soon as possible. Better nothing at all, than ageless brown stuff.
location very central for our needs and good value for money. Breakfast was adequate and generous. Room was spacious enough. Booked room 2 months in advance with specific request for 4th floor room with view but was told none was available on arrival. Breakfast somewhat repetitive. Keys are attached to large metal disk so every time someone opened a door it was audible to entire floor. Man serving breakfast early in morning not very friendly.
Simply excellent. Staff extremely kind. There are some (very few) interior rooms that do not have windows to the street but only an air shaft to the corridor outside so may be a bit dark and potentially noise, depending on the neighbours.
The location was very good, especially for the price
Location was brilliant for the bars
Great location and friendly staff,I would come back.
hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Our room wasclean and noise isolated breakfast simple but hearty
Superb location & excellent value for money. None.
Location is good. It takes around 5 minutes from hotel to subway or airobus. Breadfast is good. Price is reasonable. Bed is bad, so noisy.
The location was very central. Just a short and convenient walk to the Restuadores main bus, metro, tourist bus stops. The tourist info hub is just around the corner. There are several restuarants just down the road and you are able to sample a variety of dishes from just one place. The hotel itself was very clean and new and the rooms were very comfortable. We were travelling in a group of 5 with a 2 year old child and we had everything we wanted. Free WIFI!! but only near the reception. The staff were very helpful and obliging. We got some great advice on how to keep safe and find some good places to eat. The breakfast was satisfying and coffee was really tasty. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to people who want a good, safe, central, clean place to stay and dont want to blow their entire budget doing that. With a location like this you can can use your money for better things.
Very good location. Very clean. Very freindly, helpful staff. Facility for making hot drinks in room would have been nice.
Management very friendly and helpful, room clean, with a nice view (4th floor)
Location, close to buses metro and the square.Very friendly and helpful staff. Good sized bathroom and OK room. Only problem is no wireless in rooms which is odd considering they have it in the lobby. They really should have it in the rooms
location is perfect
I liked the location as it was near to the sights I wanted to visit and it was at the end of the famous food street...Rua Das Potas De Santo Antao. A little expensive for what it was but due to the location I can see why it was higher than it would otherwise have been given a different location.

Woman FREAKS OUT at Apple Store with Baby [VIRAL]
Just be thankful you aren't this woman today!
This "special" Apple store moment was captured on Vine by Actress Porscha Coleman.
A woman freaked in the Apple store after being told something different by Apple Care over the phone.
You can hear her scream and pound on her baby's stroller, "I was told by Apple Care that I could walk into a store and get the part!." Everyone in the store is clearly looking at her with confusion. Does an iProblem really merit this kind of reaction?

The author is continuing his researches at the Yerkes Observatory, having quitted the Lick establishment in 1892.
When Yerkes was travelling he spoke in a representative capacity.
In spite of the crimes which Yerkes perpetrated in American cities, there was something refreshing and ingratiating about the man.
"All to speak of, my lady," said Yerkes, nimbly retreating to his den.
The performances of the Yerkes 5-foot reflector still belong to the future.
We told you about the great Yerkes telescope some little while ago.
But the conversation was interrupted by a reproachful appeal from Yerkes.
Mr. Yerkes, an American millionaire, generously undertook to provide the cost of this observatory.
Yerkes had been too well occupied in exciting gossip with all his many acquaintances in the train and the station to notice.
Mr. Yerkes followed and under his regime a high school with a three year course was established.

PHOTOS: Kate Middleton plays volleyball, shows off fit post-baby body
Kate Middleton traded the palace for the volleyball court on Friday, showing off her fit post-baby body three months after giving birth to Prince George.
The Duchess of Cambridge was supporting her charity SportsAid at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London when she returned to her sporty roots and joined some young players for a game — in heels, no less.
At one point, Middleton's striped top flapped up, revealing some impressively toned abs, considering George's recent arrival.
She was inspired to become a patron of SportsAid after attending the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games in London with Prince William.
