The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
The global market for clean energy products grew to $243 billion in 2010, a year in which China and Germany both captured a greater share of this global investment than the United States. That has led many (myself included) to worry about the erosion of U.S. competitiveness in a set of clean energy technology products—from solar and wind to nuclear and advanced batteries—originally invented in America.
Yet this growing market for clean tech is almost entirely dependent upon public subsidy and policy support. To be blunt: Today's clean energy markets are artificial, and without perpetual policy support, conventional clean energy products could not compete in most global energy markets.
Across the globe, cash-strapped governments and recession-hit publics are pulling back clean energy subsidies, revealing the ephemeral nature of today's clean tech markets. In the last year, Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom have all slashed feed-in tariffs for solar and certain other clean energy technologies. In America, expiring tax credits and fading stimulus investments are set to send federal clean tech expenditures plunging 75 percent from 2009 to 2014, according to our research.
There are a host of reasons why targeted policies and smart public investments in emerging clean tech sectors are justified. But clean tech business leaders and policymakers alike must be crystal clear: the true economic rewards in clean energy industries will not come from producing technology for subsidy-created markets that vacillate wildly with the public mood and the business cycle.
Without substantial innovation to improve the performance and reduce the cost of clean energy technologies, the promise that the clean energy sector might become economically viable, much less a cornerstone of American economic revival, will never be realized. The real clean energy race is thus to invent, commercialize, progressively improve, and mass-produce cheap and reliable clean energy technologies that can compete on cost not just with international competitors but also with fossil fuels.
In short, the race is to make clean energy cheap and subsidy-independent.
The ultimate economic prize is a $5 trillion global energy market expected to double over the next 40 years. That economic opportunity dwarfs the value of today's subsidy-dependent and often-volatile clean energy markets.
For security, economic, and environmental reasons, the global energy system is modernizing and diversifying. Developing and developed nations alike will move toward new forms of advanced energy technologies that reduce dependence on foreign nations, insulate their economies from volatile energy markets, and are cleaner and thus less costly from a public health perspective. Supplying this massive global market with reliable and affordable clean energy technologies thus represents one of the most significant market opportunities of the 21st century.
In this clean energy race, pole position is still up for grabs.
China may have cornered today's subsidy-dependent markets for solar cells in recent years, but they have not yet won the race to make solar energy cheap. Chinese firms have achieved recent cost advantages by simply scaling up yesterday's solar technology, wringing cost declines out of gigawatt-scale manufacturing supply chains and capitalizing on both a temporary glut in refined silicon and lucrative Chinese state subsidies. None of these factors are truly repeatable, and technology and market analysts project that China's solar cost declines will soon stall out well above the levels necessary to make solar power truly affordable and subsidy-independent.
America is still home to the most innovative solar firms, from technology leaders like First Solar making advanced thin film solar technologies to SunPower Corp., the manufacturer of the world's most efficient crystalline PV panels. And we retain a global lead in venture capital investment and clean energy research. Yet to win this race to make clean energy cheap, America must overcome two threats, one each from both home and abroad.
Abroad, we must ensure that Chinese firms play by the rules. And American manufacturers must out-innovate and out-compete China's high-volume producers of conventional clean energy technologies, like crystalline PV cells, with steadily advancing technology and productivity. Already, technology leaders like First Solar are under pressure, with Citigroup reporting that the American firm may be facing layoffs of 10 percent of their workforce in coming months, as customers demand cheaper products. If these competitive pressures fuel a new round of American innovation, all the better. But if subsidized Chinese producers of conventional PV panels that will never become cheap enough to be subsidy independent end up knocking the real innovators out of the market, or squeezing their profits so much they cannot reinvest in continual R&D, both America and the world ultimately lose.

Working to Ensure That All Women in New Mexico Have Access to Legal, Safe Abortion Care
A Special Partnership of the Santa Fe chapter of NOW and the New Mexico Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice
- Imagine an unplanned pregnancy: what would you do? If you live in Albuquerque or Santa Fe, you can call your local clinic for an appointment, take your insurance card or credit card for payment, and perhaps arrange for a couple of days off work.
- But what if you live in Hobbs, Silver City or Farmington? How will you pay for gasoline or a bus ticket and a hotel room? Who will watch your children? What will you say to your boss when (s)he asks why you can't see your doctor in town?
- What if you are a minor? The health insurance company sends the benefit statements to your parents. You are too young and don't have a credit card to make a hotel reservation or buy a bus ticket.
- What if you are an immigrant, recently married to an American citizen but still not eligible for Medicaid? Your husband can't take any time off of work and you only have one working vehicle.
Many women in New Mexico are fortunate when it comes to accessing abortion care; we have very few laws restricting abortion and are one of only 17 states that pays for abortion care under Medicaid. But we are also one of the poorest states, and until healthcare reform is fully operational, we still have one of the highest rates of uninsured and under-insured women.
For these women there is only the promise of a volunteer on the other end of the phone that a bus ticket will be waiting, or a hotel reservation is paid for, or a gift card will be provided for meals and pain medication.
You can help us keep that promise by donating to the Santa Fe NOW Pro-Choice Safety Network Fund. This fund is a special partnership of the Santa Fe NOW chapter and the NM Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice who have come together to ensure that ALL New Mexico women can access their right to abortion care.
The Pro-Choice Safety Network Fund works with abortion providers in New Mexico, making funds available for meals, bus tickets, overnight stays and other non-medical needs, and is also creating a support network for women undergoing abortions in New Mexico.
Or Purchase a Ticket to the September 22, 2012 event with author, feminist, and activist, Jessica Valenti to support the fund. Click Here for more information.

Open Wrt is a Linux distribution for embedded devices, especially wireless routers.
Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, Open Wrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developer, Open Wrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

OMAHA, Neb. — Round 2 goes to Michael Phelps.
Getting back at rival Ryan Lochte, Phelps stretched out to win a thrilling 200-meter freestyle at the U.S. Olympic trials Wednesday night, setting up a duel in London that just gets more tantalizing with every race between the world's two greatest swimmers.
Lochte won the 400 individual medley on the opening night of the games, his third consecutive major victory over the winningest Olympian ever. But Phelps isn't going down that easily.
He got off to a stronger start than usual, leading at the first turn and holding the advantage through all four laps. Both swimmers got a big boost off the final turn, cutting through the water like missiles, and Lochte went stroke for stroke down the stretch. But Phelps stretched out his right arm at the wall, touching just ahead of Lochte. The winning time was 1 minute, 45.70 seconds – five-hundredths of a second ahead of Lochte.
"Obviously it's been a while, so it felt better" to beat Lochte, Phelps said. "But there's still some things I can improve on."
Phelps' victory was even more impressive given his busy night. He didn't even have time to celebrate, hustling back to the warm-down pool to get ready for the semifinals of the 200 butterfly. He came back 40 minutes later to post the third-fastest qualifying time, moving on to tonight's final looking to lock up a chance to defend the gold he won at the past two Olympics.
"I feel old," the 26-year-old Phelps quipped. "Just getting in the water to race is what motivates me."
Speaking of busy, Missy Franklin left no doubt that she is swimming's next big star with a stunning performance in the 100 backstroke, signaling a changing of the guard in an event Natalie Coughlin captured at the past two Olympics.
Coming back to the pool just 20 minutes after qualifying for the final of the 200 freestyle, the 17-year-old "Missile" chased down Coughlin on the return lap to win with an American record of 58.85.
"I have dreamed of this moment, but I never thought it would come true at 17 years old," Franklin said. "Dreams do come true."
In another final Wednesday, Breeja Larson pulled off a huge upset in the 100 breaststroke, beating Rebecca Soni and world-record holder Jessica Hardy. Soni rallied to get the second spot on the team, but Hardy finished third – about a half-second too slow to earn a spot in London. She was eager for redemption after missing out on the 2008 Olympics because of a failed doping test, which resulted in a one-year suspension.
Also, Matt Grevers captured the men's 100 backstroke with the second-fastest time ever, 52.08.
Nick Thoman finished second in 52.86 to claim the second spot on the Olympic team.
Lochte said he went out too slow in the beginning of the 200 free, a mistake he intends to correct when he gets to London. Phelps' winning time was nearly 3 seconds slower than his gold-medal effort in Beijing, though that was aided by high-tech bodysuits, which have since been banned by the world governing body.
"We didn't really try to pick it up until, like, the last 75, so I'll save that for the Olympics," Lochte said. "I was just really relaxed for the first 125, and then the last 75, I was like, 'All right, now we've got to put it in gear.' So I kind of waited a little late, but I'll take it."
They'll have one more showdown in Omaha, facing off in the 200 individual medley. Then it's off to the meet that really matters, where Phelps is plotting another eight-event program in what he says will be his final Olympics, giving him a chance to match his record performance four years ago.
Lochte is standing in the way this time.
"I love racing against him," the Floridian said. "It was really fun."

We had an absolutely fabulous stay at this home. It was perfect for our two families. Spacious warm, open floor plan. Beautiful views of the mountain were a plus. The house was extremely clean and had everything we could need. It's a very short drive to the Sun Peaks lifts or a shuttle stops very close to the house.
We will definitely be looking forward to staying again in the future. PS. The challenging 550 piece puzzles were a great group activity!

WHISPERING PINES IN SUN PEAKS BC A large group of ladies go to Sun Peaks each year and this year we stayed at the Whispering Pines. I will start off with our first complaint....... They take the money out of you account 45 days ahead of time which means that the damage deposit is 500.00 So they make interest for over 45 until you get your deposit back Other resorts we stayed at, the policy was 10 days to cancel and they took the money out of your account ten days before scheduled trip. ..... That's the way is should be. It was a nice place however. When we arrived we had a leaking ice bag so we took some paper towels to wipe up the water......... The floor was disgustingly DIRTY. Also the window ledges were very very dirty full of dead bugs. The coffee pot is Very very slow to make coffee. They should invest in a new one. We did not use hot tub as the water was very very murky. I'm pretty sure it was not shocked or no puck in as well. That sucked big time. Very slow drainage in the Jack and Jill washroom that 8 woman had to share. Check out time is way to early should be 11 or 12. Table on deck had a broken leg, as to make for spilling drinks very easy every time some one got up from table. I would recommend this place if it was much much cleaner and they invested in some new appliances.

Whispering Pine Chalet was a perfect larger accommodation for our 3 busy families looking to close out the ski season @ Sun Peaks this spring - we were very lucky to happen upon it. Located on a fabulous street amongst some very elegant properties, this multi-level, very spacious home offered everything you could ever need & whole bunch more. The great floor plan and open spaces made the time spent indoors very enjoyable - nobody was tripping over one another, and the decor and amenities are modern & very functional. They have everything you'll need for quick pre-ski breakfasts, to elaborate post-ski BBQ productions for 12. The ski-in option was great, and very achievable for even our youngest green/blue run bombers. There is a ton of space designated for gear hanging/drying, and the boot warmer was a brilliant touch! Heated tiles floors, hot tub, W&D;, floor to ceiling tile showers, Granite & Stainless, and even a couple flat panel Tv's were all appreciated luxuries. Parking was ample, and the extra height garage was accessible by our full sized SUV & SkyBox - carefully ?. Communication by the rental company/owners was top notch, and the booking, check-in & check-out process was straight forward and painless. They were very accommodating to our schedule and requests, and that was most appreciated. The rates were very much in-line with other similar properties we have used in the past, and in our opinion, good value for what you are getting. We will certainly recommend Whispering Pine to friends, families, and through this review hopefully others as well... Enjoy your stay!!

We had a weekend filled with golf and paddle boarding and this was the best location for all of these things. The golf course was a walking distance away and Heffley Lake was a 15 minute drive! It was very clean and well kept. The owners were fantastic to deal with. The tenants downstairs were very friendly and we didn't even know they were there. I would recommend this chalet to anyone!

Great home for our two families, lots of room for the adults and kids. We love hanging out in the hot tub after a day on the slopes. Great views from the living room and kitchen area. Bedrooms are spacious and very comfortable. This was our 3rd visit and we will come again.

Greatly enjoyed our stay at Whispering Pine Chalet this February. It was the perfect accommodation for our extended family group as we celebrated the wedding of our son and daughter-in-law at beautiful Sun Peaks. Lots of space, beautiful kitchen and large open concept living area, very comfortably furnished with all the amenities. A short walk into the village centre ski lifts, shops and restaurants. Would be pleased if we are able to stay there again the next time we visit Sun Peaks!
Great time!

We stayed with two families over presidents weekend. House was very clean and comfortable. We picked up the shuttle each morning right in Front of the house. Made the mistake of walking the first morning as we didn't know the distance to the lifts. Too far to walk- in ski boots. Summer walk would be fine. Shuttle was always on time. Ski back was easy and fun. We lucked out with great snow! We love Sun Peaks- 3rd visit and really enjoyed our first visit to lovely Whispering Pines!

We stayed at the Whispering Pine Chalet with 3 other couples and had a wonderful time. Don provided us with the necessary information and tips prior to our stay. The home was large enough for our group of eight adults and four kids. Everything was exactly as described and shown in the photos. The heated floors added a nice touch and the openness of the kitchen and living room make the home comfortable enough for large groups. The convenience of the location, the shuttle that can transfer you to/from the village and the included amenities makes this home a definite place to stay. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the extra t.v./play room was very convenient for us. What we liked least was the water pressure in the showers... Perhaps this can be fixed by replacing the showerheads? Also, the snow was too deep for us to take the kids sledding right in the backyard.
A great relaxing time with family and friends

It was a great place. We were happy about how clean it was when we arrived. The binder with information provided was an excellent help. One thing that we would recommend is listing what there is there for baby equipment as we took a playpen but didn't need to etc... Other than that everything was wonderful!! Thank you for opening up your home to us!
Perfect for small kids as well as adults
Bruce from British Columbia
Date: Jan-13-2011
We rented Whispering Pine Chalet for a summer holiday for the extended family, grandparents (us), our kids (adults) and their children (4 grandchildren between ages 6 and 4). Since the chalet is primarily for winter use it was clearly hardy enough for all of us but still nicely furnished and with ample space for everyone not to get into everyone's hair. A great kitchen for group work and a large dining table for 12. Very comfortable beds and good options for accommodating the children's preferences (no fights on who slept where). In setting up the rental we had good communications with the manager, Don Feist and consequently had no need to call him while we were there. All in all we had a very pleasant (mostly sunny) care free vacation.
Great spot for large family gatherings.

The house was like a "home away from home". We felt very comfortable, and the open design was fantastic for our family gathering. We will be going back again!

Re: An unusual Shrewsbury storyAww...how cute!
LUCKY!!! Hopefully as an elisted Sailor in the U.S. Navy, maybe I'll get my chance too! **hopes** Schmoyoho-oh-oh-oh accent on the YO!
Re: An unusual Shrewsbury storyMystic: When I saw you're in the Navy it reminded me of the song
"in the Navy" How do the Navy guys spend their Christmas, my children are all going to the in-laws so I'm debating what to do. When I was out west a few years ago during Christmas I fasted, just to see what is would be like since usually Christmas is so full of dinners, but I also fast for a reason(purpose) too. I'm glad I experienced it, sometimes one has to be away from their family to truly appreciate them.

My Ancestors in Egypt in front of the Sphinx and Great Pyramid
I did not take this photo. The woman on the donkey and the man on the camel wearing the white hat are my great great grandparents. I never knew them but this photo of them in front of the Sphinx and Great Pyramid has always been one of my favorite images. One day I will visit Egypt to recreate this iconic scene.

The Deep Fried Cuban Roll and Fried Thanksgiving Dinner took home top honors this morning at the ninth annual Big Tex Choice Awards at Fair Park.
The Cuban Roll, invented by Isaac Rousso, took home Best Taste and the Fried Thanksgiving Dinner, created by Justin and Rudy Martinez, took home most creative.
The two winners faced some stiff competition from other contenders like Deep Fried Nutella and Fernie's Deep Fried King Ranch Casserole.
First-time winner Rousso had made the top eight the last three years with his deep fried Pop-Tart, deep fried salsa ball and fried pork wing.
But to win, Rousso took inspiration from what he knows. His family immigrated to the U.S. from Cuba in 1962, and the Cuban sandwich is the staple of his Taste of Cuba booth at the fair.
Rousso said his winning creation takes the best of that sandwich -- roasted pork, ham, pickles and Swiss cheese -- and adds a side of mojo sauce.
"Put that all together and what you get is an explosion of flavor," Rousso said. "It's amazing."
Justin Martinez won previously for Most Creative in 2011 with Deep Fried Bubble Gum, but said he wanted to break from sweet to try a savory invention. The idea, he said, hit him that Thanksgiving.
"I remember loading up my plate, and actually looking at my plate saying, 'Oh my God, how can I fry Thanksgiving?'" Justin Martinez said.
But it took Justin Martinez nearly two years to perfect his recipe, he said, even withholding it from last year's competition because he didn't feel comfortable with it. His Fried Thanksgiving Dinner combines stuffing, turkey and southern cream corn, with gravy and orange cranberry sauce on the side.
"It's more like comfort," Justin Martinez said. "It seems like it brings people together. It creates a happy feeling, so that's always a plus."
The judges included Dallas Morning News columnist Jacquielynn Floyd, editorial writer Mike Hashimoto and The Ticket's Corby Davidson.
Try them out for yourself when the State Fair of Texas opens on Sept. 27.
The winners:
Deep Fried Cuban Roll: A filling of slow-cooked pork shoulder, chopped ham, Swiss cheese, pickles and secret sauce spread on a slice of Swiss cheese, rolled in pastry dough and deep-fried. Served with mojo sauce.
Fried Thanksgiving Dinner: Homemade stuffing and diced roasted turkey rolled in a ball, then dipped in southern cream corn, covered in seasoned corn meal and deep fried. Served with orange cranberry sauce and giblet gravy.

There aren't many things more fabulous than when a couple puts their own spin and personalized stamp on the design of their wedding. That is what we love so much about this Savannah soiree by Jenny Evelyn Photography. They took a classic style, that was already full of that fantastic Southern charm we all love so much, and added so many playful, heart-felt details. Click here to see it all!
Click here for the FULL wedding!
From Jenny of Jenny Evelyn Photography… Ashlee and Scott's fabulous Savannah wedding featured two gorgeous gowns, two vintage cars, three fantastic locations and so many adorable details! I loved the sentimental and personal details, like Ashlee's grandfather's Air Force pin that she used to pin her bouquet and the pill bottles filled with pralines that this pharmacist couple gave to their guests. The three locations truly defined this couple's big day. They had a "first look" in Savannah's iconic Forsyth Park, filled with beautiful trees and dripping in Southern Spanish moss. Then they went on to the ceremony at one of Savannah's oldest chapels, Whitefield Chapel at Bethesda School for Boys. Finally, they left their ceremony in style in a vintage Rolls Royce and headed to their reception at The Mansion on Forsyth Park. This beautiful venue is filled with fabulous chandeliers and was the perfect location for the bride, the groom and their guests to dance the night away. This couple also had some great DIY projects. The mother of the bride made the bridesmaid's bouquets, the groomsmen's boutonnieres and the groom's cake — a tribute to their alma mater, The University of Georgia. They also created tiny flags with the inscription "And they lived. . . Happily ever after." The guests waved the tiny flags as the couple rode away in their classic Chevy 442.

On the evidence of his new Showtime mini-series and companion book, Oliver Stone is both a communist and political moron. Having previously celebrated a trio of evil-doers – Castro, Arafat and Hugo Chavez – Stone now adds The Untold History of the United States to the cinematic garbage heap he has been piling up since J.F.K. and Born on the 4th of July. Like them, this latest contribution is an unrelenting (and unrelentingly perverse) attack on America as history's Great Satan, the root cause of all worldly evil.
The heroes of this latest Stone fantasy are — I kid you not — Vladimir Lenin and Henry Wallace. Wallace is cast by Stone as the visionary of a planet without capitalism and war, and consequently as America's missed opportunity to change the world. Along the way, Stone composes nauseating apologetics for Joseph Stalin and other historical villains including even Saddam Hussein, all of which are necessary to sustain his preposterous narrative of America as the great villain of a century in which America in fact defeated the two most monstrous regimes on human record – the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany – liberating more than a billion people in the process.
For those too young to remember, Henry Wallace was a former Vice President who was snookered by American Communists into running for the White House in 1948 as the anti-Cold War candidate of the Progressive Party. The Progressive Party was a political front the Communists had created to help Stalin drag millions of Eastern Europeans into his Soviet gulag and slaughterhouse. Two years later, when the Communists invaded South Korea, a chastened and pathetic Wallace went on television to concede that he had been duped into lending his name to a malevolent cause. Wallace died soon after in disgrace. Now Stone is attempting to resurrect Wallace's most shameful hour and present it to the uninformed as the second coming.
By contrast, every step of America's way in Stone's fabrication is portrayed in the worst imaginable light, up to and including the Islamist attacks of 9/11, which he describes as merely an excuse America used to conduct criminal wars "against two Islamic nations" that caused "far more damage to the United States than Osama bin Laden ever could," while "shredding the U.S. Constitution and the Geneva Convention" in the process.
Even the title of Stone's rant is a lie, since his narratives of the Bolshevik Revolution (idealists whose noble vision was thwarted by capitalist pigs), World War II (Stalin won it) and the Cold War (launched by American imperialists but ended by peace-loving Mikhail Gorbachev) are a twice-told story: the first time by Kremlin propagandists and their minions, the second by leftwing diehards who can't handle the truth, and who have now been joined by the executives at Showtime in airing a miniseries that is malignant and unbelievable crap.

It's happened a lot over the last year or so. But last night, the network went so far as to order SportsCenter to stop giving credit. At a little after 4 p.m. yesterday, SportsByBrooks tweeted this:About thirty minutes later, The Times-Picayune picked it up and tacked on its own source confirming the same details, while still giving SportsByBrooks credit for posting the "original report" (they also gave credit, again, in an updated piece).

That's who broke the story, and that's who Levy credited, specifically and directly.Not long after, a message went out on ESPN's internal editorial wire. An ESPN insider was thoughtful enough to send it along:IMPORTANT: DO NOT CREDIT SPORTS BY BROOKS FOR THE ORIGINAL STORY ABOUT MILES HAVING AN OFFER.

Leaked Windows Phone 8 images surface
What you see above are purported leaked images of Windows Phone 8, Apollo. Microsoft is set to unveil Windows Phone 8 to the world at next week's Windows Phone Summit on June 20th. What the images above show is built-in Skype integration (Microsoft purchased Skype months ago,) a data usage function that shows how much of your monthly data cap you have left along with the number of days left in your billing cycle, and the camera app with the new lenses feature. We can't say for sure that these are authentic, but they certainly appear that way. We'll know for sure next week!

Playoff-bound Steelers roll over Panthers
Dec 24, 2010 - 6:46 AMNow, they'll wait to see if Baltimore can do the same thing.
Roethlisberger passed for 320 yards and a touchdown and rushed for another score, and Pittsburgh rolled to a 27-3 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Thursday in a game between teams on opposite ends of the NFL spectrum.
Roethlisberger completed 22 of his 32 passes, including a 43-yard touchdown throw to Mike Wallace in the second quarter. Wallace had four catches for 104 yards and Rashard Mendenhall rushed for 65 yards and a touchdown.
Already in the playoffs, the Steelers (11-4) can clinch the AFC North and a first-round bye if the Ravens lose to Cleveland on Sunday.
If Baltimore wins, Pittsburgh would clinch with a victory over the Browns on January 2. Either way, the Steelers look to be in good shape.
"It's great to be in the clubhouse for the weekend with a necessary win and now we can watch the other (teams) sort themselves out," said Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin.
"We were far from perfect, but we were good enough to win tonight."
The Steelers bounced back against an overmatched Carolina team that was a sight for sore eyes. Pittsburgh was coming off a 22-17 loss to the Jets on Sunday, which ended a four-game winning streak.
How lopsided was the game? Pittsburgh held Carolina to just seven first downs and 119 yards of offense while picking up 22 first downs and gaining 408 yards for itself.
"I felt like we did some really good things tonight," said Roethlisberger. "We're always striving to get better and do some better things. And every game we get a little bit better. That's important right now."
The Panthers (2-13) got their only points from John Kasay's 27-yard field goal in the fourth quarter and continue to have the NFL's worst record.
Jimmy Clausen completed just 10-of-23 passes for 72 yards and Jonathan Stewart ran for 71 yards in the loss. There were no real bright spots in the Panthers' offense.
"I didn't think anybody played good today. The team didn't play good," said Panthers running back Mike Goodson. "It's never one guy when we win, it's never one guy when we lose."
Pittsburgh forced a few big turnovers despite playing without ball-hound safety Troy Polamalu for the second straight game because of an ankle injury.
The Steelers got tight end Heath Miller back from a concussion and he led all receivers with five catches for 73 yards, including a 20-yard grab that helped set up Pittsburgh's first points.
Shaun Suisham's 26-yard field goal gave the Steelers a 3-0 lead on their first series of the game, but only after a would-be touchdown catch by Emmanuel Sanders in the front of the end zone was ruled an incomplete pass.
Besides Miller's catch, Mendenhall's 35-yard carry on the Steelers' first play from scrimmage was the other big play on the scoring drive.
Cornerback Bryant McFadden intercepted Clausen and Pittsburgh took a 10-0 lead on Wallace's touchdown early in the second quarter. The speedy Wallace caught a short five-yard pass and stretched it an extra 38 yards down the middle of the field for the score.
The Steelers continued to pour it on, despite Roethlisberger fumbling a snap on their next possession. They got the ball back on a punt and Mendenhall scored on a one-yard run.
Suisham booted a 29-yard field goal to make it 20-0, but Pittsburgh was unable to capitalize when Carolina fumbled the ensuing kickoff. Suisham missed wide- right on 41-yarder at the end of the half.
A short Carolina punt and 22-yard pass interference penalty led to Roethlisberger's one-yard keeper for a touchdown and 27-0 Steelers lead with five minutes left in the third quarter.
Carolina didn't get on the board until Kasay's 27-yard field goal with just 8:29 left in the game.
"We gotta continue to take care of business," said Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley.
Game Notes
Despite their NFL-worst record, the Panthers were coming off a win against Arizona on Sunday...Roethlisberger, whose nose was broken in a key win over Baltimore on December 5, was seen on the sideline with cotton swabs stuffed into his nostrils.

The architect for the Nantucket-style Colonial house at 263 Lalley Boulevard may have found inspiration for his design at nearby Penfield Beach, the site of an annual sandcastle competition.
This 3,400-square-foot house, within easy walking distance to Penfield Beach, has a turret giving it the look of a storybook castle. The house awaits its next family to start living their happily ever after.
When it was built in 2006 another unusual feature was added -- this one a nod to its proximity to Long Island Sound. There is a compass rose inlaid in the foyer floor of the turret.
This house has other unusual features, the first of which is its abundant off-street parking; a luxury for those who live close to the water. The paved driveway and parking area, lined in Belgian block, has room for four cars. There is room for one more car outside the fenced area, but still off street. And then there is an attached, under-house, two-car garage.
A slate path and quarried stone and slate steps lead to the front door on the second story, which is the main living level of the house. The rounded walls of the turret combine with the curved interior staircase to create a graceful transitional space. Located in this part of the house is a half bath with a decorative tile sunburst on the floor and a large mudroom with lots of closet space and built-in benches with underneath storage.
Real Estate Listings
The main level comprises an open floor plan of the great room which includes the gourmet kitchen with a casual eat-in area, a formal dining area with a dry serving bar, beverage refrigerator and built-in wine rack, and a family room. In another nod to the ocean the kitchen backsplash of marble and glass is made to resemble the mother of pearl found in some seashells. Other kitchen features include granite counters, a center island with a prep sink and large pantry.
The family room has a floor-to-ceiling river rock fireplace that is flanked by doors to the enclosed backyard.
On the second floor, the large master bedroom suite has a gas-fueled fireplace, four closets, deep tray ceiling, and a master bath with Travertine floor, triangular jetted tub, his and hers vanities, and walk-in shower. The bed and bath areas are separated by French doors.
There are two other bedrooms on this level. Both are en suite and have a door to access a large balcony that looks over the backyard. On the third floor there is a large landing that is big enough to use as an office, homework space or play area. The guest bedroom on this level also has its own full bath and balcony.
This house is ideal for those who love the beach but also want the convenience of easy commuting. It is walking distance to the downtown Fairfield train station, shops, restaurants, library and other amenities.
For more information or to set up an appointment to see the house, contact Bette Gigliotti of Gigliotti Group, an affiliate of William Raveis Real Estate, at 203-451-0040.

The endeavors by Enbridge (NYSE:ENB) to link the oil sands of Canada with Asia have run afoul of aboriginal scallop farmers near Prince Rupert, British Columbia. The city is a port for ships to load grain and coal transported by rail from Canada's interior, and is also in an area in which the communities are expanding shellfish farming and ecotourism, according to Executive Director Art Sterritt of Coastal First Nations, which wants to develop an economy based on renewable resources. The group will block and attempt to bring oil tankers into the area, says Sterrit.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Talk
- - Bit Question...
Bit Question... I am curious to learn about how one goes about introducing a new bit to a horse? The reason I ask is because Fritz was extremely bratty the last time I rode him on my first trail ride. When we got back to the barn, the instructor (not my normal instructor) told me that if she were to ever buy, or even run the barn, the first thing she would do is put a more aggressive bit in Fritz's mouth. It's kind of confusing because I get conflicting information from the two trainers out at the barn. I can see two different teaching techniques between the two. My usual instructor is very laid back, super nice, and doesn't push hard at all. The other is more about getting results, she's firm, yet supportive. I really like the both of them, but honestly I feel like I learn more from the other, vs. my normal.. Anyway, thats a bit off topic. So anyway, I was just wondering, if you were to introduce a new bit to a horse, is it just slap (not literally) it in the horses mouth and go, or is there some finesse involved? |
Hi Moxie, first off, is this your horse or one you ride? If it's one you ride then I would speak to the owner before doing anything. If it's your horse then a few questions, what is he going in now? How was he trained? What is he doing wrong? Is he out of control or just being difficult? What do you intend to use? Is he a problem all the time or just out on the trails? How often has he been on a trail? When I introduce a new bit to a horse I do it right away but I'll work him in an enclosed area for a bit so that he can get the feel of it. I'm pretty light with my hands and I never use a harsh bit anyway but moving from a snaffle to a shank bit takes a little time since the effect of the bit is felt in so many different ways by my horse. |
Hello iridehorses, Fritz is just a lesson horse, and I wouldnt dream of doing anything without the consent of the owner/my instructor. I am mostly just curious about how one would introduce a new bit to a horse. If I were to buy Fritz (yes, hes still up for sale) Id first put 30 days on him, and then possibly use a different bit, if need be after the 30 days. Fritz is a draft/paint cross who is a lesson horse that I ride at the barn Im at. Hes got a lot of power and Ive seen how much speed that boy has. He generally has a lot of attitude; Ive seen him with other riders and have seen the same behaviors that he has given me. I really do love the horse, but the more and more I ride him and the more and more he acts up, I think hes just not the right horse for me. And he wasnt always like this, when we first started riding, he was/is a great horse, from the moment I saw him, I fell in love, and wanted to buy him. Now that I am getting closer to buying (within a year); I am keeping my eyes open and of course Fritz is on the list of prospects. I know that Fritz isnt all to blame, I have let him get away with a lot since I fell off of him months ago, and I am now getting back to being the boss. On the trail, he was tossing his head, refusing my instructions to stand still (to fix my stirrups), he was skipping (like hed throw up one of his front legs), and he even threw a little buck. Those were the big issues, aside from that, he HAD to be at the front of the line, when he heard the other horses coming up behind him, he would speed up. Even at a walk, my butt was slapping the saddle, and he started out into a trot without being asked. I just chalk those up to wanting to go, and maybe my not being firm enough? Right now I *THINK* hes in a curb bit. Its a one piece twisted draft bit. From what I can make out from the pictures, I assume its a curb, but I could be wrong. I really dont know much about bits at all to be honest. Sorry that this was so long. lol |

My child has
Your opinion means a lot. We'd love to hear your thoughts on how we're doing.
Dr. Marcela Torres decided that her vocation in life was to become a doctor when she was only 15 years old. She started her studies in Medicine at the age of 17 years back in her country of origin, Peru. There she was exposed to all kinds of clinical challenges in the face of sparse resources, which helped her clinical skills tremendously. After finishing medical school she decided to come to the USA to do her residency in Pediatrics. At Children's Hospital of Milwaukee she quickly became interested in their Bone Marrow Transplant Program which was a pioneer in Unrelated T cell depleted bone marrow transplants in the nation. But as she started her fellowship in Pediatric Hematology Oncology, she realized that her main interest was Hematology. Training in a national referral center for patients with Bleeding and Clotting disorders and doing her research at the nationally renowned Blood Center of Wisconsin, prepared her way to become an expert in this field. At the end of her fellowship, she had completed her research on Multimerin, a little known clotting protein. She was the recipient of the ASH Travel Award for poster entitled, "Recombinant Multimerin and Factor V co-localize in Storage Granules in AtT-20 Cells"
She started to work at Cook Children's Hematology Oncology center back in the year 2000 and gradually her expertise and knowledge in bleeding and clotting disorders have allowed the growth of the Hematology section within the practice. She has also been involved in the twinning project with Peru sponsored by the WFH (World Federation of Hemophilia) and in 2006 our center was granted the Hemophilia Treatment Center Twin of the Year Award by the WFH. In addition, she continues to participate in several clinical research studies within the Hematology field.
At this point in time, she directs the Thrombosis and Stroke Programs which continue to grow at our institution. She is a member of the Hemostasis and Thrombosis Research Society, American Society of Hematology, International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis, International Pediatric Stroke Society and American Heart Association.

Ward irked as U's fail to win
Colchester manager John Ward was frustrated not to secure all three points after his side were held to a 2-2 draw by lowly Yeovil.
Last Updated: 09/10/11 2:13pm
Colchester manager John Ward was frustrated not to secure all three points after his side were held to a 2-2 draw by lowly Yeovil.
The U's looked like they were heading for a third successive win after goals from Andy Bond and Michail Antonio had cancelled out Gavin Massey's first-minute opener. But Massey, on loan from Watford, equalised in the second half to secure the Glovers a hard-earned point.
Ward said: "It was a frustrating afternoon in terms of the scoreline. We dominated maybe 75% of the game if not more, but we made two errors at the back which have resulted in goals going against us.
"I'd imagine Yeovil have gone away wondering how on earth they've managed to score two goals because we've had the majority of the play, the majority of the efforts and the majority of the football and not managed to win the game.
"But that happens in football and in sport and there are frustrations, but you have to overcome them.
"Whether we thought it would be okay after we went 2-1 up I don't know, but it also jolted Yeovil into a more positive approach. There was an error which they capitalised on, but we did have two or three opportunities to win the game after that."

On the contrary, the most fitting tribute to deceased company owner Jimi Heselden is to bust out your revolutionary transportation device, and, well, change everything.Advertisement1. Pimp It the F*ck Out We'll skip the obvious Xzibit references here, but one approach to modding anything is just to make it look as crazy as possible. Taking a page from the aesthetics of late 90s music videos, Segway of Oakland delivered a customization that looks like something Juvenile would ride through the park. Carbon fiber, Lamborghini branding, and ginormous rims. Ostentatious Segway fans—your chariot awaits.Advertisement2. Entertain the Masses With It Maybe your last party would have been a lot more fun if you had been in your house, rolling around on a Segway, blasting music videos. You know, just a suggestion. A collaboration between advertising firm Brand Marketers and the handy people at Segway of Oakland, this mobile multimedia rig, packing an HDTV and DVD player into your ride, allowing you to broadcast your favorite flick on the go. Though we might recommend something a little more captivating than the Segway training video, as seen above.3. Make It Faster With Gigantic Wheels Segway speedster Christo is not content with the family friendly velocity of the stock Segway. So, rather than complain, he slapped 36" wheels on it, and started gunning for speed records. The Segway's new feet give it a potential max speed of 24 miles per hour, though so far he's only achieved around 20. Still. This is a Segway we're talking about. Push it to the limit, Christo.AdvertisementSponsored4. Make It (Absurdly) Safe Those Segways can be tricky! As much as the gyroscopic brain inside churns and churns to keep you upright, sometimes gravity gets the best of you, and you find yourself quickly on your ass. Segway-related tumbles have to rank up there among some of the most embarrassing possible, so why not eliminate wipeouts altogether by adding six additional wheels? Perhaps it won't be the most nimble way to jaunt around, but remember what mother always said—Safety First.5. Save Someone's Life With It The visionaries at Segway of Oakland like to have fun, but this mod could actually be an EMT's best friend, if mass produced. The ambulance package adds a bevy of medical and emergency gear to the Oakland modders' "heavy hauler" model, which outfits the Segway with a reinforced cargo platform.
