Twenty-one young people will volunteer with watershed organizations, county governments and other non-profits throughout Maryland as part of the second class of the Chesapeake Conservation Corps, an environmental career and leadership training program led by the Chesapeake Bay Trust.
The Chesapeake Conservation Corps was established by the Maryland Legislature in 2010. The program matches young people ages 18-25 with organizations throughout the state for paid, one-year terms of service. Participants gain valuable work experience and partner with local communities to advance conservation initiatives in Maryland.
"In today's challenging economic times, it is important that we invest in our young people and provide them with the skills and training necessary for jobs that create a smarter, greener future for Maryland," said Maryland Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller, the lead sponsor of the legislation that created this initiative.
Visit the Chesapeake Bay Trust's website to learn more about the Chesapeake Conservation Corps.
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation will receive nearly $850,000 through a grant from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to help Chesapeake Bay watershed farmers convert manure to energy.
The grant will be used to help farmers in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia convert excess manure to energy to generate income. The project will also improve the Bay's health by reducing land application of manure. Efforts will be concentrated in four of the region's "phosphorus hot spots" – areas with high concentrations of phosphorus in the soil.
The funding was provided through the 2011 Conservation Innovation Grants, a program that invests millions in innovative conservation technologies that address natural resources issues.
"The grants will help to spur creativity and problem solving to benefit conservation-minded farmers and ranchers," said U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
Visit www.nrcs.usda.gov for more information about the recipients of the 2011 Conservation Innovation Grants.
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation have placed 306 reef balls planted with millions of baby oysters in the Choptank River near Cooks Point.
Reef balls are three-dimensional structures that provide habitat for oysters and other aquatic organisms, including worms, mussels, striped bass and black sea bass. Reef ball plantings help restore oyster populations and promote thriving aquatic reef communities. Many reef-dependent species have not been seen in the Choptank River for many years.
Visit Maryland DNR's website to learn more about the agency's artificial reef initiative.
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell has signed into law a bill that prohibits the sale, use and distribution of lawn fertilizer containing phosphorus. The legislation will go into effect on Dec. 31, 2013.
The law also prohibits the sale of deicers containing urea, nitrogen or phosphorus. Additionally, golf courses must implement nutrient management plans by 2017.
Phosphorus is one of the two main types of nutrients that pollute the Bay and its local waterways. Too much phosphorus runoff leads to algae blooms and low-oxygen "dead zones" where underwater life cannot survive.


text: Well, I can't be held responsible for the ideas running around my melon at the new coaching hires. Some people are upset about Kiffin but I think that's crazy. Nick Eatman said yesterday that he was leaving Valley Ranch around 9:40 PM and Monte was in his office watching film and taking notes. Jerome Henderson did that last year and he was my favorite hire of the year. I like Marinelli a lot and if Bisaccia is our STs Coach then I really expect all three phases of the game to be mash the pedal to the floor. Well, in my opinion, you can't do that right without fixing the O-line and for the 3rd straight year I am focusing on the Interior of the OL in my thinking. But not in round 1. Interior OL doesn't get the splash even though it is a huge need. There are other needs that can be met though and we do that. I'd like to trade down and add a pick or two. Good OL and DL depth is possible throughout this Draft. 18. Ezekial Ansah, DE, BYU, 6-5", 270. He is a physical freak. Literally. If you haven't heard his story, it is amazing. He is from Ghana Africa and he came to BYU after he joined their religion. One of the Missionaries who taught him suggested he should play football, so he applied to BYU and was accepted. He had other ideas and walked on to the basketball team in 2008 and 2009, surviving until the last cut. Dave Rose, the BYU basketball coach is an old friend of mine. He says Ziggy, that's his nickname, is in another world as an athlete. In 2009 Ziggy also walked onto the track team where this at that time 250 pound monster ran a 10.91 in the 100 meters. Folks, that is sick speed for a man that big. In 2010 he finally decided to try football and walked into Bronco Mendenhall's Office and told him. If you saw his efforts in the 2012 Poinsetta Bowl you were probably as blown away as I was. He hasn't even scratched the surface of how good he can be yet. This kid is our JJ Watt. 48. Barrett Jones, C/G, Alabama, 6'4", 305. His foot surgery and likely inability to work out at the Combines is expected to drop his draft stock to the bottom of the 2nd round. I don't let him get there. He is a 1st round talent with an all world football brain. He and the Bama QB McCarron clashed a little in the Championship Bowl game despite being best friends and roommates. Jones even pushed his QB away. After the game he laughed and said he was right on the snap count. He is so versatile that he can play anywhere along the OL. I consider him a must have for 2013. 80. Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina, 6'3", 320. Word right now is that Ratliff will be back and so will Spencer. I am fine with this, but we also have to fix the D-Line. This big bad monster is just what the Doctor ordered. If we switch in and out of a 3-4 at all, and I think we will, here is our pocket collapsing NT. If we play our DTs in a 1 technique like Marinelli and Kiffin are know to do, this guy will push the pile back so we can stuff the run. 111. Brennan Williams, RT, North Carolina, 6'7", 315. I am hearing Doug Free will not be waived, but instead his contract will be re-worked. I hedge my bets, and I bet this big nasty man can take his job. Back to back Tar Heels named Williams and two of the biggest, meanest kids we could draft right now. You have to wonder why the Tar Heels are not a better football team because they are deep every year lately for NFL talent. 144. Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon, 5'11", 192. We have got to have a RB who can carry the load if Murray goes down. I think we need a RB who can catch the ball and even help in the return games. Here is my pet cat RB this year. Speed to burn and more moves than Ex Lax. He is versatile and he plays hard every snap. 175. Tyrann Mathieu, CB, LSU, 5'10", 180. I am very serious about acquiring this kid. He is a dolt for letting pot get in the way, no doubt, but wow can this fool play football. I believe his contrition is real. I also believe he is probably the ebst CB in the Draft and though he is projected in the 7th round, I don't let him fall that far. I honeslty believe he is better than Jenkins was. He can help with the return game and Claiborne was his mentor. He can be again. There you go folks, rip it up.

Post subject: Who will be the first Texans hall of Famer?
Slow football week, so just an interesting topic that deals with distant future
Who will be the first Texans player in the HOF. I'm not talking about a HOF player who just spent a few years here but a guy who will be remembered as a Texan.
Obvious pick would be Andre Johnson, if he plays at a high level for 4-5 more seasons he will have The stats to be considered, but will need a ring or two
Matt Schaub will be no where close unless we win 2 rings or
1 ring and he has 4-6 4500 yard seasons
Arian Foster would have to play at his 1200-1500 yard level for another 6 years to get any love
JJ Watt or a young guy on D could become a yearly DPOY guy
HOF is a hard place to get and often times it takes a ring or two
Unless someone puts up record breaking stats
Any thoughts?

Andre Johnson will be our first hall of famer IMO. His only knack is that he doesn't have a 10 yard touchdown season to his name, but he has been at the top at his position for the past several years.
Arian Foster will be our 2nd HOF if he continues the pace he is going moving forward to his career.

As much as I love Andre, favorite player in the league by far, I doubt he'll get in. He's severely lacking in the touchdown department and he doesn't have the playoff success to cancel it out a la Michael Irvin. He definitely is a HOF talent but those early years with David Carr and Sage Rosenfels really hurt him not to mention this injury plagued year which could possibly have been the final year of his prime.

Throw the numbers out with Dre. When they bring up the list of candidates for the hall of fame they will say that Dre was one of the best receivers to ever set foot on an NFL field. However, if he gets hurt again then his legacy might become one of the "greatest ever who couldn't stay healthy" and I know I don't want that to happen so I'm hoping Dre plays 16+ games next year and plays in his first Super Bowl.
Dre is the only guy worth talking about in this thread really. Watt is in his 2nd year, Arian would need another 2 or 3 straight years of similar or better production and a ring to warrant him a HOF spot or consideration. This is really all about Dre.

Andre has a legit chance to break the 15000 yard mark if he can stay on the field for another 5 seasons

The next 4 seasons will determine his HOF destiny with whatever comes after simply padding stat totals. AJ already passes the litmus test of "dominant, transcendent, talent" based upon being named an All-Pro 4x (far more important than pro bowl as it means you were one of the 2 best players in the game at your position). HOFers like Steve Largent, James Lofton, Charlie Joiner, and Irvin were only All-Pro Once. HOF worthy stats for WRs are going to have undergo a considerable adjustment with the proliferation of pass happy offenses where 80-100 Recs per season describes 1/2 of the #1 WRs out there, not just the extraordinary. Statistically, in this era, I think AJ needs to finish top 10 in multiple categories including Recs (currently #34), Yards (currently #39), and close TD's gap (currently #91). While I think Super Bowl rings obviously help his candidacy, they aren't required for WRs like they are for QBs.
My biggest concern is the presence of some names from the current era considerably ahead of him. Of particular concern will be how Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne are handled as I don't see AJ catching either of them in any statistically category and if they aren't in, it will be tough to justify AJ especially if the Texans don't have a run atop our division for several years. Reception totals are AJ's most impressive stat and quite frankly, this is not a stat hall voters care much about considering only 2 of the top 20 are in the hall (Rice & Monk although Tim Brown and Cris Carter should make it in the next 2 years and Tony Gonzalez is first ballot).
Yards is the area where AJ needs to continue to climb as right now he only has 5 1,000 yard seasons and 1,200 yards seasons really should be the hall standard for this era (he only has 3). This is where I think he needs to pass a guy like Torry Holt who I don't think did enough for the Hall and that is still 4 930 yard seasons away. AJ can't be in the vicinity of pedestrian guys like Jimmy Smith and Muhsin Muhammad, Rod Smith, and Keenan McCardell or even Hines Ward and Derrick Mason who I think are stretches for the hall. Tony Gonzalez, Reggie Wayne, and Steve Smith are all likely to push those top 10 #'s even higher before they are done and Larry Fitzgerald will almost certainly be ahead of him considering he is only 40 yards behind him now and 2 years younger. I think there is some danger of Larry Fitzgerald and Calvin Johnson being looked at as the two dominant WRs of this era if AJ continues to fade and he definitely needs some separation from Owens and Moss who will almost certainly go in eventually, but I don't think either will go in on the first ballot. Isaac Bruce is another difficult one for hall voters as he has the stats but not the cred, while Andre Reed sits just outside with his QB & RB already in. One nice stat in AJ's favor right now is that he is currently #1 all-time in Receiving Yards per game at 79.1 although that will likely drop somewhat with longevity.
AJ has a ton going in his favor, but what seemed like a given two seasons ago now requires at least 2 more special seasons plus some late career stat padding, for the team to live up to expectations with him leading the charge, and for him to not follow up a sub 500 yard season with anything less than another 1,200 yard season that makes last year just the biggest blip of his 3 other injury blip seasons rather than creating a common thread where the team couldn't get to the next level because he came up lame in multiple critical seasons throughout his career. I think next to Larry Fitzgerald, he has the easiest path to the hall at WR of any active WR, but we need to acknowledge just how tough it is to get in considering Tim Brown and Cris Carter are still knocking on the door.

I will vote for JJ Watt. His rookie season shows what kind of transcendant talent he can be. I think he will be a multiple-time All-Pro and will have a lengthy career.
As Apollo pointed out, it is going to be tough for Andre to make the hall without a few more big seasons. At his age and with his injury history, that may be tough.

I suspect Andre Johnson is the first. He may not be a first-ballot guy, but he was the best WR in the league for the better part of a decade. Even though his touchdown deficit is tough to ignore, I think he'll make it anyhow.

So i decided to see just how close Andre really is to being in the actual NFL record books....we all know there was a 4 year period where he was the best WR in football, but where does he currently stand all time and what can he realistically do?
1. Seasons with 50 or more receptions
2nd place is at 13....Andre has 8, so i would safely assume he will finish tied for 2nd place (jerry rice is 1st with 17, but i doubt andre has another 9 years in him)
2. Career receptions
2nd place all time is at 1102 (3rd is 1101). Andre currently sits at 706, which puts him 396 receptions out right now.....that would be 4 monster seasons but over 6 seasons its only an average of 66 a year. 6 years at that production might be a little too much to ask for, but 2-3 seasons around 100 is possible
3. Most seasons leading the League
He has already lead the league twice and 3rd place all time is only 3 so this is a very doable thing, even this season, he is already 3rd in NFL history for consecutive seasons at 2
If Andre went on a run of 1,000 seasons and say had 4 straight he would most defiantly make the history books....and then there is always single game and single season records he has a 3 year window to break.
This could be a BIG year for Johnson, we have a dynamic running game, a QB who is top 5 at running the play action and no one else to throw the ball to

Billy McGuigan file photo
©Photo Special to The Guardian By Keith Hershmiller
Bill McGuigan has resigned after a year as an assistant coach with the Regina Pats.
The Charlottetown native and Summerside resident made the decision June 5 for family reasons and the Western Hockey League (WHL) team made the announcement on Tuesday. The team also said assistant Josh Dixon resigned June 17 and head coach Malcolm Cameron was relieved of his duties on Tuesday.
McGuigan moved back to Summerside following the WHL playoffs.
"Now that it's official, I'll take a week or so here and try to figure some stuff out and see what's next," McGuigan said Tuesday.
"If I look it will be close to home and see if I can find something. If not, I'll take a year off after the last 10 years of doing it pretty well full bore."
McGuigan spent time as head coach of the Summerside Western Capitals, Miramichi Timberwolves and Charlottetown Abbies prior to joining the Pats. He led the Capitals to Maritime Junior Hockey League title in 2013 before finishing second at the RBC Cup national championship in Summerside.
Regina (39-26-4-3) won the Eastern Conference's East Division title after starting the season 1-5 this year. The Brandon Wheat Kings swept the Pats in four games in the first round of the playoffs.
"Overall it was a great year, a great experience," McGuigan said.
"I'm definitely a lot better coach for the experience than I was when I left here. I learned a lot about coaching and a lot about myself."
McGuigan said he is doing corrections work in Summerside while his wife is a teacher in Kinkora. They have a young family and being together is important to him.
McGuigan's father Barney is sick and Bill said it was important for him to be close to home to support his father and the rest of the family.

Disabled Vets Gain Expanded Access to $280 Billion Federal Market
May 7, 2004
Contact: Viki Reath (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON – A new federal acquisition rule will enable agencies to implement Congressional provisions designed to promote greater participation by service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses in the government market place, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced today.
Congress set a government-wide goal of three percent participation for service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses in the government market place, valued at more than $280 billion.
"This effort reflects President Bush's commitment to the men and women veterans of the U.S. military, who have given so much to protect and defend freedom and democracy for our great country," said GSA Administrator, Stephen A. Perry. "As a major federal acquisition agency, GSA is leading the effort to expand opportunities for service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses to compete for contracts with federal government agencies.
The federal acquisition rule approved Wednesday allows agencies, under certain conditions specified in the rule, to set aside certain contracts for competition among service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses and to award sole-source contracts to the same group.
GSA has been partnering with the Small Business Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense and the Defense Logistics Agency in an effort to provide greater opportunity for service-disabled veterans. The new regulation gives the green light to contracting officers waiting to use these new rules to help agencies meet the three percent goal set by Congress. For information, please visit: GSA's Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Web Page.
GSA was created by Congress to help agencies improve efficiency and better serve the public. On behalf of federal agencies, GSA acquires office space, equipment, telecommunications, information technology, supplies and services, and provides policy solutions for more than one million federal workers in more than 8,000 buildings in 2,000 U.S. communities.

Toddler Tantrums
I am a mother of two kids. I would like to know what is the most proper method to deal with toddler tantrums? I have heard about positive parenting. Does it really work ? Does threatening and cajoling have any bad impact ?

Negative attention tends to breed bad behaviour. There are many reasons for toddler tantrums from low blood sugar to need for attention. I think finding the root cause, whether it be hunger, boredom, or adult inattentiveness, and try to correct it before the tantrum takes place. If this does not work I would calmly and rationally explain that you are not going to give in to the child's irrational behaviour and as long as they are throwing the tantrum in a place where they are not a threat to themselves or others, resume your own activity.

After going through what you said, I think boredom is causing her to throw up tantrums. The elder one gets bored very fast with most of the things . I will try finding out some other ways to get rid of her boredom.
Thanks a lot for the advice.

Lostprophets announce breakup while frontman awaits trial
Listen to Lostprphets on iHeartRadio
Welsh rockers Lostprophets are officially calling it quits.
The band announced the split via Facebook Tuesday, less than two months before the start of frontman Ian Watkins' trial on more than 20 charges of sexual offenses involving children.
Watkins' bandmates say they've spent the past year coming to terms with their "heartache." They say they've seen the end coming for some time now, but finally feel ready to officially announce that they "can no longer continue making or performing music as Lostprophets."
The band got its start back in 1997, and released their fifth and final album, Weapons, last year. They end their statement by thanking fans for all the love and support they've received over the past 15 years.
Watkins' trial, meanwhile, is scheduled to begin November 25th in Cardiff, Wales. BBC News says it's expected to last about a month.

By Julie Muhlstein Herald Columnist
There was a quizzical moment when I pulled the new Time magazine from my mailbox. On the cover is a picture of Sheryl Sandberg, in a power-red dress, with the headline "Don't Hate Her Because She's Successful."
Uh-oh. I'm not usually clueless about news magazine subjects. I had never heard of Sandberg. That was Saturday.
On Sunday, Sandberg — she is Facebook's chief operating officer — was on "60 Minutes." By Monday, the interviewer from Sunday's CBS News show was buzzing about Sandberg on CNN. Sandberg is everywhere, with her new book "Lean In" and a website, LeanIn.org, both focused on helping women achieve career success.
In "Lean In," which was also featured in an Associated Press article published in The Herald Tuesday, Sandberg writes: "While women continue to outpace men in educational achievement, we have ceased making real progress at the top of any industry." According to the book, women make up only 14 percent of the nation's executive officers.
Sandberg places much responsibility for failing to break through the glass ceiling in the hands of women themselves. Women, she said on "60 Minutes," tend to hold back rather than reach when a big job opportunity comes along. She also cited the obvious — that concern about family stands in the way of women getting ahead. Hearing that, I could almost hear every mom in America saying "Well, duh."
Work situations for most Americans — women and men — have little in common with the life of someone overseeing a multibillion dollar company. Yet Sandberg shares experiences that do resonate.
On "60 Minutes," she said she was called "bossy" as a girl. Are boys ever called bossy?
Carol Nelson is one accomplished woman who welcomes a conversation about gender and success. Nelson, 57, was appointed last month by Gov. Jay Inslee as director of the state Department of Revenue. The Edmonds woman comes to the public sector after a long career in banking.
She was chief executive of Cascade Bank. After the California-based Opus Bank acquired Cascade Bank, Nelson became president of Opus Bank's Washington operations. She left that job a year ago.
Nelson, who is married and has two grown sons, said Tuesday she agrees with Sandberg that girls and young women sometimes get the message that "ambition is bad."
Although banking is a conservative industry, Nelson said it opens doors for women moving into leadership ranks. "Seventy-five percent of bank employees are women, so there's a strong pool to draw from. That has been helpful. That's not to say it's been easy," Nelson said.
She is encouraged that Inslee appointed 10 women out of more than 20 executive cabinet positions, and chose Renton schools leader Mary Alice Heuschel as his chief of staff.
In government, Washington's women have led the way. Girls and young women can look to the examples of former Gov. Christine Gregoire, U.S. Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, and Sally Jewell, the REI executive nominated to head the Department of Interior.
Barbara Lamoureux, 68, founded her Lamoureux Real Estate firm in Everett in 2004 after years of working in other fields, including for her father Bob Long's appliance business, Judd &Black.
Sandberg's recent TV interviews strike a familiar chord with Lamoureux. "I had to laugh when I heard her say that if men do such-and-such they're assertive, but if women do the same thing they are bossy," Lamoureux said.
She recalls as a child hearing not-so-subtle suggestions that girls should play down their accomplishments. "I tried not to stand out too much, or be too important," she said.
As a young woman working for the Snohomish County PUD in the early 1970s, Lamoureux said she successfully fought a policy that required women to quit working when their pregnancies started to show.
Lamoureux and Nelson both see in Sandberg's effort an impulse to pass along knowledge.
"I've read about the queen-bee syndrome, when a couple generations back women felt there was only one seat at the table and it was theirs," Nelson said. "That has changed tremendously. I feel that responsibility. You want to offer opportunities to other women."
Mixing career and family is hard for all of us. Nelson credits her husband, "a terrific partner," saying they "picked up the slack for each other" while raising kids.
"Every parent is juggling," Nelson said. "In the end, I think your children see your effort, your hard work. I think they're really quite proud."
Since graduating from Everett High School in 1963, Lamoureux has seen big strides for women. She would love to see a woman clear one more hurdle.
"I'm hoping in our lifetime we will see a female president," Lamoureux said.

SpaceX's Dragon capsule docked with the International Space Station early Wednesday to deliver nearly half a ton of experiments and supplies.
At 3:56 a.m. California time, flight engineer Aki Hoshide on board the space station maneuvered a robotic arm to capture the capsule about 32 feet away. He then guided it to the station's Harmony module.
About two hours later, space station commander Sunita Williams used the robotic arm to install SpaceX's cargo ship to a docking port on the ISS.
"Looks like we've tamed the Dragon," Williams said. "We're happy she's on board with us."
Williams thanked SpaceX and NASA for the delivery, especially the chocolate-vanilla swirl ice cream stashed in a freezer.
The link-up occurred 250 miles above the Pacific, just west of Baja California, 2 1/2 days after the Dragon's launch from Cape Canaveral, Fla.
"Nice flying," radioed NASA's mission control.
It was Dragon's first regular supply mission to the orbiting lab under a $1.6 billion NASA contract that calls for 12 such trips by the Hawthorne-based rocket developer officially named Space Exploration Technologies Corp.
"This is a big moment in the course of this mission and for commercial spaceflight," SpaceX CEO and chief technical officer Elon Musk said in a statement. "We are pleased that Dragon is now ready to deliver its cargo to the International Space Station."
In May, SpaceX's capsule berthed with the space station in a historic test run. The company is the first commercial business to send a ship to the space station. Previously, that achievement was exclusive to the governments of several countries.
SpaceX is part of NASA's ambitious plan to allow private business to take on the responsibilities of sending supplies and eventually people to the space station.
The effort is meant to save the government money and allow NASA to focus on deeper-space missions such as to Mars and asteroids.
The regular missions replace flights by the space shuttle fleet, the last of which was retired in 2011.
The end of the space shuttle program meant the United States was dependent on other nations to send supplies and astronauts to the space station.
SpaceX hopes to send its first manned Dragon mission in as soon as three years.
Just after 3 a.m. today , the station's crew will open the capsule's hatch. Then the astronauts will upload 882 pounds of cargo, including crew supplies, vehicle hardware, experiments and a freezer for storing scientific samples.
On Oct. 28, Dragon will be released from the space station carrying 1,673 pounds of scientific samples and other cargo for return to Earth.
Splashdown is expected about six hours later the same day in the Pacific Ocean, 250 miles off the Southern California coast.
SpaceX launched Dragon on Sunday on its Falcon 9 rocket. The mission suffered a problem about a minute into flight when one of the rocket's nine engines shut off automatically because of a loss of pressure.
While the rocket was still able to send Dragon on its intended route to the space station, a secondary payload, an Orbcomm satellite, was deployed to a lower altitude orbit than planned "for the protection of the space station mission," SpaceX said Wednesday.
Communications company Orbcomm said it would try to salvage its satellite's mission, although it was unclear how likely that was.

By Bill Sheets Herald Writer
EVERETT — More people in Snohomish County and Camano Island are tapping into the power of the sun.
The number of people installing solar panels on their homes has tripled in the past three years, to more than 300 from around 100, according to the Snohomish County Public Utility District.
A good part of that growth came in the first half of this year, with 60 installations already, compared to 75 for all of last year.
Though the number is still very small, "it's kind of looking like an exponential growth curve," said Leslie Moynihan, manager of customer renewables for the PUD.
One reason is probably a reduction in price, PUD officials said. The cost of installing a solar power array has dropped 25 percent to 40 percent in the past three years, Moynihan said.
The average-size residential system of 5.5 kilowatts costs about $24,750 now compared to $33,000 three years ago, based on Moynihan's figures. That doesn't include a 30 percent federal tax credit and other incentives. Some customers can save more, depending on the system they buy.
The PUD has three ways of knowing who has installed solar power. The utility offers incentives for solar installations and administers solar energy credits offered by the state. Also, the PUD offers "net metering," in which solar power users get credit for power they produce but don't use that flows back into the grid in the summer.
As a result, customers can either carry the bonus forward to cut their electric bills in the winter, or they can periodically receive a check from the PUD.
"Some folks are getting ready to cash out multi-thousand dollar credits on their accounts," Moynihan said.
Government incentives make the difference, she said.
The Snohomish County PUD offers customers an incentive of either $500 per kilowatt capacity installed, up to $2,500 for residences or $10,000 for businesses, or a 2.9 percent loan of up to $14,000 to cover the cost of a new system.
The state of Washington pays 15 cents per kilowatt hour produced for systems with out-of-state components and 54 cents per kilowatt hour for systems with equipment made in-state.
Mike McEachern of Mukilteo had a system installed on his house last fall.
He paid regular bills during the winter, but this spring and summer he's been racking up credits. He's about to get a check from the PUD for around $500 for the net power difference since he began using his system.
"I'm not paying for power, number one, and number two, I'm getting a check to produce power," McEachern said.
He paid about $28,000 for his system. With the federal tax credit and $2,100 from the PUD, the net cost was under $20,000, he said.
"In seven plus years, I could break even," he said.
McEachern received about 10 percent off the cost of his installation by participating in a group discount program.
Under the "Solarize" program, residents pool together to receive discounts on installations.
The PUD works with Northwest Seed, a Seattle nonprofit organization that promotes green power, to get the groups started and sort through the options.
Last year, 23 homeowners on Camano Island and several more in Mukilteo took advantage of the program.
This is another explanation for the recent growth in solar power — word of mouth, PUD spokesman Neil Neroutsos said.
"A lot of people are seeing it on friends' and neighbors' houses," he said.
Solar power now produces about 2 megawatts of energy in the PUD's service area, still less than 1 percent of the utility's power supply.
"But it's growing," Neroutsos said.

Sorry if this is a stupid question.
I have a laptop I am about to format which will be used only for streaming media over my network.
Is it possible to install XBMC as the operating system? I understand there is a Live CD--is there some way I could format and just copy the Live CD onto the internal HDD so it boots off that?
Would that be the best way to get top speeds out of XBMC? It would be hell faster than running Windows+Winamp etc. for playing music? And the search function for music in XBMC is ok right?
Would I have any network problems? It's all wired LAN.
Thank you.

There is an option to install the XBMC live cd onto a HD. The great thing about it is you can run the live cd before installing it to see how it would run and you can make the choice whether it fits your purpose.

correct answer, but no help for the thread owner. I dont think Gesus asked his question to get philosphic answers about OSes, shells and the like.
Gesus, it as simple as that:
The XBMC Live CD version contains a minimum Ubuntu operating system and the XBMC Linux application running on that Ubuntu.. After booting from the Live CD You can decide if You want to install the whole stuff to a USB stick or a disk drive. After that is done Your system can use that stick or drive as a boot device.
And, yes, If you only want to use the laptop as a network media player an installation from the XBMC Live Cd version is perfect, as long as the hardware is supported. This can be tested by using the live CD without installing to disk.
Kind regards

Brigham City • Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge managers and the thousands of birds they work to preserve dance with nature every year, surviving floods, droughts and the fickle rhythms of the Great Salt Lake.
In the 1980s and early '90s, managers dealt with devastating high waters as salt-water overwhelmed freshwater marshes, destroying dikes and visitor facilities.
These days, Deputy Refuge Manager Sharon Vaughn and her staff grapple with the opposite extremes: heat and drought. They funnel what water there is to where it can do the most good, creating lush, watery pockets for thousands of birds.
One of these pockets is located along the refuge's 12.5-mile auto tour route, so hundreds of visitors from across the globe enjoy easy views of many of the world's winged wonders.
They might see, according to the refuge's most recent bird survey, hundreds of Canada geese, mallards, white pelicans, double-crested cormorants, white-faced ibises, black-necked Stilts, American avocets and California gulls inhabiting the refuge.
"There's lots of dry out there," said Vaughn, who wakes up in the middle of the night to check her computer to view Bear River flows on a gauge located in nearby Corinne. "When you see water, it's very deliberate."
One place, for example, is being kept wet to allow researchers from Utah State University to complete a study on phragmites, an invasive plant species.
Summertime bird numbers typically fall from the height of spring and fall migrations, when water is more plentiful. But many of this season's birds need the human-managed marshes and nearby lake to nest. For example, the refuge, as part of the Great Salt Lake, hosts the world's largest breeding colony of white-faced ibises.
So managers and biologists move limited water into areas where there are the most nesting birds a tricky exercise because waterfowl sometimes nest in unexpected places.
"I move the water where biologist Howard Browers tells me to move it," Vaughn said.
Managing the Bear River's limited water requires refuge bosses to work with canal and power companies as well as a tri-state commission, which oversees the river. Though the refuge has senior water rights, it must defer to even more senior agricultural uses this time of year.
A lack of water, though, can benefit the refuge's birds and managers.
For example, invasive carp hurt the water quality. When an area goes dry, many of these fish die, not only providing food for gulls and turkey vultures but also eliminating some of the problem species.
Phragmites can be controlled by grazing cattle on land that in a normal or wet year would be too soggy.
The low water also allows a Youth Conservation Corps crew led by Ruben Davila and Gloria Hammond to remove fences, post boundaries and build trails.
Vaughn is particularly proud of the YCC. After all, she graduated from the program in the early '80s and credits it with helping to steer her to work for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
But make no mistake the low water and concentrated habitat can be perilous. Birds relegated into smaller areas are more vulnerable to predators. Avian botulism in low-water areas poses such a threat that dry marshes will not be filled even if water becomes available until the fall migration and hunting seasons.
Still, there is plenty to see at the refuge. On Wednesday, cars drove slowly across the tour route.
Many stopped to look at the eared grebes and snowy egrets. A few might have taken advantage of the free 25-minute audio tour, designed and narrated by seventh- and eighth-graders from the Promontory School for Expeditionary Learning in nearby Perry.
Jane Bywater, a volunteer greeter at the visitor center off the Forest Street Brigham City exit, said guests representing 38 countries came to the refuge last year.
"We get all of these visitors from foreign countries," she said, "yet I talk to people from Brigham City who have never been out here."

About the bird refuge
This 76,000-acre Great Salt Lake wetland was established by presidential proclamation and Congress in 1928.
Its mission: Provide feeding, breeding and resting habitat for migratory birds and other wildlife while maintaining the natural diversity of plants and animals native to the Bear River Basin.
A globally significant bird area, the refuge is part of the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network and is recognized by the National Audubon Society.
The Great Salt Lake hosts the largest populations in the Western Hemisphere of breeding American white pelicans, migrating snowy plovers and Wilson's phalaropes.
The refuge boasts a spring peak population of 18,000 shorebirds and a late-summer, early-fall tally of 69,000 shorebirds. It has 12 percent of the world's white-faced ibises and up to 60,000 tundra swans each fall and winter.
The James V. Hansen Wildlife Education Center is located a quarter mile west of Interstate 15 off Exit 363 near Brigham City. Its hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. It is closed Sundays and federal holidays. A 12.5-mile auto tour is open daily from sunrise to sunset.

Page 519
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
In order to assist the several States to inventory existing school facilities, to survey the need for the construction of additional facilities in relation to the distribution of school population, to develop State plans for school construction programs, and to study the adequacy of State and local resources available to meet school facilities requirements, there is hereby authorized to be appropriated the sum of $3,000,000, to remain available until expended. The sums appropriated pursuant to this section shall be used for making payments to
States whose applications for funds for carrying out such purposes have been approved: Provided, That the making of grants under this title shall not in any way commit the Congress to authorize or appropriate funds to undertake the construction of any public works so planned.
In recognition of the impact which certain Federal
Page 520
activities have had on the school construction needs in the areas in which such Federal activities have been or are being carried on, the Congress hereby declares it to be the policy of the United States to bear the cost of constructing school facilities in such areas in the manner and to the extent provided in this title.
In the case of children who reside on Federal property—
(1) if no tax revenues of the State or any political subdivision thereof may be expended for the free public education of such children; or
(2) if it is the judgment of the Commission, after he has consulted with the appropriate State educational agency, that no local educational agency is able to provide suitable free public education for such children,
the Commissioner shall shall make such arrangements for constructing or otherwise providing school facilities as may be necessary for the education of such children. To the maximum extent practicable school facilities provided under this section shall be comparable to the school facilities provided for children in comparable communities in the State. This section shall not apply (A) to children who reside on Federal property under the control of the Atomic Energy Commission, and (B) to Indian children attending Federally operated Indian schools. Whenever it will be necessary for the Commissioner to provide school facilities for children residing on Federal property under this section, no local educational agency shall be entitled to receive payment under section 202 with respect to the attendance of such children.
(a) In carrying out his functions under this title, the Commissioner of Education may utilize the facilities and services of any Federal department or agency and may delegate the performance of any of his functions to any officer or employee of any Federal department or agency. The Commissioner of Education shall exercise the authority contained in the preceding sentence whenever such exercise will avoid the creation within the Office of Education of a staff and facilities which duplicate existing available staffs and facilities. Any such utilization or delegation shall be pursuant to proper agreement with the Federal department or agency concerned; and payment to cover the cost thereof shall be made either in advance or by way of reimbursement, as may be provided in such agreement.
(b) All Federal departments or agencies administering Federal property on which children reside, and all such departments or agencies principally responsible for Federal activities which may give rise to a need for the construction of school facilities, shall to the maximum extent practicable comply with requests of the Commissioner for information he may require in carrying out the purposes of this title.
(c) There are hereby authorized- to be appropriated for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1951, and for each of the two succeeding fiscal years, such sums as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this title, including the administration thereof. Sums so appropriated, other than sums appropriated for administration, shall remain available until expended. Not to exceed 10 per centum of the amount so appropriated for any fiscal year (exclusive of any sums appropriated
Page 521
for administration) may be used by the Commissioner, under regulations prescribed by him, to make grants to local educational agencies eligible for payments under section 202, where (1) the application of such agencies would be approved under section 205 (b) but for the agencies' inability, unless aided by such grants, to finance the non-Federal share of the cost of the projects set forth in their applications, or (2) although the applications of such agencies have been approved, the projects covered by such applications could not, without such grants, be completed, because of flood, fire, or similar emergency affecting either the work on the projects or the agencies' ability to finance the non-Federal share of the cost of the projects. Such grants shall be in addition to the payments otherwise provided under this title, shall be made to those local educational agencies whose need for additional aid is the most urgent and acute, and insofar as practicable shall be made in the same manner and upon the same terms and conditions as such other payments.
(d) Such portion of the appropriations of any other department or agency for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1951, as the Director of the Bureau of the Budget determines to be available for the same purposes as this title, shall, except to the extent necessary to carry out during such year contracts made prior to the enactment of this Act, be transferred to the Commissioner for use by him in carrying out such purposes.
(e) No appropriation to any department or agency of the United States, other than an appropriation to carry out this title, shall be available during the period beginning July 1, 1951, and ending June 30, 1953, for the same purpose as this title; except that nothing in this subsection or in subsection (d) of this section shall affect the availability during such period of appropriations (1) for the construction of school facilities on Federal property under the control of the Atomic Energy Commission, (2) for the construction of school facilities which are to be Federally operated for Indian children, or (3) for the construction of school facilities under the Alaska Public Works Act, approved August 24, 1949.
For the purposes of this Act—
(1) The term "Federal property" means real property which is owned by the United States or is leased by the United States, and which is not subject to taxation by any State or any political subdivision of a State or by the District of Columbia. Such term includes real property leased from the Secretary of the Army, Navy, or Air Force under section 805 of the National Housing Act, as amended, for the purpose of title VIII of such Act. Such term also includes real property held in trust by the United States for individual Indians or Indian tribes, and real property held by individual Indians or Indian tribes which is subject to restrictions on alienation imposed by the United States. Such term does not include (A) any real property used by the United States primarily for the provision of services to the local area in which such property is situated, (B) any real property used for a labor supply center, labor home, or labor camp for migratory farm workers, or (C) any low-rent housing project held under title II of the National Industrial Recovery Act, the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935, the United States Housing Act of 1937, the Act of June 28, 1940 (Public Law 671 of the Seventy-sixth Congress), or any law amendatory of or supplementary to any of such Acts.
Approved, September 23, 1950.

Conference Explores Connections Between Low-Wage Work and Child Poverty
Jun 13, 2014
By Lauren French
More than 16 million children in the United States are living in poverty, making our child poverty rate—a shocking 23 percent—one of the highest in the developed world. Children are also the poorest age group in the country; while they represent just 24 percent of our total population, they make up 34 percent of all people in poverty.
Earlier this week, a conference held in Washington, D.C. brought together a number of experts to discuss policy solutions. Inequality Begins at Birth: Child Poverty in America, co-hosted by The Century Foundation, the Roosevelt Institute, and the Academic Pediatric Association (APA), focused on important issues such as the impact of toxic stress; the demographics of child poverty; the challenges facing working mothers; the need for higher wages and paid leave policies; and the importance of safety net programs.
One critical aspect of child poverty discussed by conference speakers is its inextricable link to low-wage work. "What's little understood is that the typical poor child lives in a household with a parent who's in the workforce," said Jodie Levin-Epstein, deputy director of CLASP. "Two out of every three poor children have a parent in the workforce; one out of every three of those children has a parent working full-time, year-round, and is still in poverty."
Poor children are not only negatively impacted by parent's low wages but also by the lack of benefits afforded by those jobs—especially paid leave and paid sick days. "No parent should be stuck in a situation in which they have to make the hard decision about whether or not they want to be a responsible parent or whether or not they will be a dedicated employee," said Avis Jones-DeWeever, author and former executive director of the National Council for Negro Women. Unfortunately, that is a very real struggle for the 70 percent of low-wage workers who have no access to paid sick days and the nearly half of low-wage workers who have no paid leave at all: no sick days, no family leave, no vacation. This creates a situation where parents who take time to care for their families may lose not only wages but also their jobs. Poor-quality jobs can be hazardous to family well-being and can perpetuate poverty.
The connection between parents' low-wage jobs and child poverty has been increasing over time. According to Levin-Epstein,"low wage jobs are trending" and "the share of poor children with a parent working full-time, year-round has grown significantly over the last 20 years—up from one quarter to nearly a third."
This conference and the corresponding research make clear that if we want to address child poverty, we must address the precarious situation of their low-income parents. Working families need decent jobs if they are to properly care for their children and ensure future prosperity.

Manning Match Up Week 11 - November 14
Thursday, November 12, 2009
Five games this week feature Manning Award Watch Listers facing each other, but the selection for this week's Manning Match-Up is Notre Dame at No. 12 Pittsburgh (7 p.m. CT, ABC, ESPN-GP). The Fighting Irish are 4-3 against Pittsburgh in the seven games since 1999, but the Panthers won the last meeting in four overtimes, 36-33, in Notre Dame Stadium last year. Notre Dame is 6-3 on the season; Pittsburgh is 8-1, including a 5-0 record at home.
Both teams have turned the ball over just nine times this season, which is tied for seventh nationally.
Notre Dame is led by junior quarterback Jimmy Clausen, who has thrown for over 300 yards five times this season, helping him average 307.8 yards per game this year, fifth-best in the FBS. On the season, he has completed 209-of-308 passes for 2,770 yards with 20 touchdowns and only three interceptions. Pittsburgh is led by senior quarterback Bill Stull who has completed 148-of-219 passes for 1,879 yards with 17 touchdowns and only four interceptions.
The match up at quarterback for this game is evenly matched based on the numbers. Because the Panthers have run the ball so well, Stull has not had to pass as much; Clausen has 909 more yards through the air than Stull does, but their completion percentages (Stull 67.6, Clausen 67.9), interceptions (Stull four, Clausen three), pass efficiency (Stull 161.61, Clausen 162.88) and touchdown passes (Stull 17, Clausen 20) are nearly identical.

Valentine's Enrichment
Saturday, February 16
Watch the animals as they use their natural instincts to interact with our themed enrichment activities. The enrichment program at the Hattiesburg Zoo helps keep our animals happy and healthy by providing stimulating and challenging surprises to the animals' environments. Throughout the day, zookeepers will incorporate fun activities into the animals' regular schedules to help address the animals' social, psychological and physical needs.
