Morris, Newser Staff Posted Jun 19, 2010 5:17 AM CDT 2 comments Comments Peter Fonda, who played "Captain America" in the 1969 film "Easy Rider," poses atop a Harley-Davidson motorcycle based on the one he rode in the film, Friday, Oct. 23, 2009, in Glendale, Calif. (AP Photo/Chris Pizzello) View 2 more images (Newser) – Important things vanish in movies all the time—ghosts, ninjas, starlets' clothing. But what happens to important props that may have aftermarket value? Quite often, they go missing. Mental Floss lists seven iconic movie props that mysteriously disappeared: The Easy Rider motorcycle: Two copies of each bike in the counterculture classic existed, but three of the four were stolen and presumably sold for parts. Peter Fonda's Captain America model survived and is at the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa. Spider-Man's skivvies: Four Spidey suits vanished from the set of the first flick and were traced to a studio security guard. What's more, "police also found in his home a mannequin dressed in a $150,000 Batman costume that went missing from the Warner Bros. lot in 1996." The ruby slippers: Multiple pairs of the Wizard of Oz footwear exist—one is in the Smithsonian—but the pair that belongs at the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Minn., was stolen in 2005 and never recovered.

Burn Notice is normally compelling enough to make me ignore any elements that might cause disbelief. Big guns? Huge explosions? A constant array of family friends who need help? Michael's infinite skillset? I can buy that. But Michael's Mayor Quimby-gets-brain-damage Baaaahstahn accent? Oh, hell no.
This spoiler can never have enough shoes.
There's a new bad-ass in town — Victor, one of Carla's cohorts, is brought in to bring Michael to heel. Victor's into firearms and killing and the potential destruction of everyone Michael holds dear. He gives Michael a cunning bedazzled cell phone (pretty!) and tells Michael he is now officially at Victor's beck and call.
That won't stop Michael from helping out an old friend. Ricky has a sweet job as an accountant for Valentine, a rap mogul. Unfortunately, one of the mogul's accounts seems to be missing $2 million, and that's the sort of thing that can get people killed. Ricky is convinced that Eddie, Valentine's sleazy financial advisor, stole the cash. But unless he has proof, Valentine will never believe it.
There's no evidence of theft in Eddie's files, but it does seem that Eddie wants to invest in something, anything, quick. Michael deduces Eddie is looking to launder the cash, so Michael poses as a sketchy real estate guy who can clean up that moolah and give Eddie a return on the investment. All goes well until Victor pokes his nose in — he doesn't want Michael to be distracted, so he tells Edie that Michael's under investigation by the Feds. Exit Eddie, tail between his legs.
All is not lost — Michael goes on the offense, first accusing Eddie of being the one who turned him in to the Feds, then setting Sam and his mom up to look like G-Men tailing Eddie. Eddie freaks and comes scampering back to Michael. Michael plays hard to get, but lets Eddie convince/blackmail him into helping. Michael and Fi thwart a hit that Eddie put on Ricky, then convince Eddie that he's got to kill Ricky himself. Sam and Fi engineer it so Valentine witnesses Eddie's attempt (hint: always make sure the gun is loaded with real rounds, not blanks) and hears Ricky coax the truth out of Eddie. Valentine takes Eddie on a one-way cruise, and Ricky is safe.
Meanwhile, Victor summons Michael to play driver for a heist, but he won't tell Michael what they're stealing and why. Fortunately, Michael has improvisational x-ray skills, and, along with making things go boom, he manages to get a picture of the mysterious item. No, it's not a Stargate (dammit!) — it's a sniper rifle. Huh. Why steal such a thing? And why didn't the Evil Spy Overlords want Michael to know about it?
Highlights, thoughts and odds and ends
- Michael's Boston-esque accent was painful. How is it the man can speak fluent, accentless Russian, but he can't do a decent Beantown burr? What, he couldn't get Good Will Hunting on his Netflix queue in time?
- What did you think of Victor? I think he's appealingly unhinged, but I don't know if I buy him as a bigger bad-ass than Michael himself. I did like the note around the GPS in the phone, though.
- Victor's crazy came out the most, I think, when he accepted that Michael would be cowed enough to not want to see what's in the box. Or maybe they figured Michael would figure out how to see into the box, an the sniper rifle hides something else. Or maybe Michael knows that they know, and he… my head hurts.
- Is that really how you pronounce "femoral?" Really? Or was that the Canadian pronunciation?
- It amuses me that the emissaries of the Evil Spy Overlord organization have both been Canadian. Are the writers trying to warn us about Canadian perfidy? Or do Vancouver-based actors just fight like hell to get on a Miami shoot?
- Was that Rob Benedict from Felicity (and Threshold, and a bunch of other things) as Eddie? He does squirrely so well.
- Eddie — if you honestly think you can make money by flipping South Florida real estate in this market, you deserve to be tossed off a yacht into shark-infested waters.
- I loved the look on Michael's face when Sam insisted he taste his cooking.
- Sam playing depressed was fabulous. Sam getting back to Michael by putting him on the phone with his mom was even better.
- How dumb does Michael think his mom is? Sure, she considers a top-loading VCR part of a home theater system, but she does recognize babysitting when it happens.
- Fi is really growing on me now that she's not harping on the relationship. She's not above twisting the knife a bit — "now that I'm on the open market, I need more shoes" — but she's a lot more fun.
- Poor, poor Barry. He knows what happens when he lends his help: "The next day, you do the Michael Weston thing, stuff starts exploding, and everyone says 'Hey, Barry, wasn't that guy a friend of yours?'" Michael proposes that he work through an intermediary, and Barry says it will cost him $5,000. "Promise nothing will happen to him, maybe I can go three." "Five it is!" Michael chirps.
- What was with the annoying split screens? Did we really need two simultaneous angles on Ricky?
Michael's spy bits
- The plans to meet an unknown operative can tell you a lot about them and how they see you. Map and photo = trust. Place and time = they want to check you out. Cryptic clue about pelicans = "they've just got an irritating sense of humor."
- Open with an aggressive move when you meet a new spy. You find out about their reflexes, their weaknesses, how they handle uncertainty, and if they're crazy mofos who can't properly pronounce "femoral."
- Everyone knows about using cell phone towers to triangulate locations. Great, until the person you're tracking goes out of range. A better option: insert an enhanced GPS into the phone. As it's really difficult to remove the GPS without disabling the phone, you have a better chance of actually tracking your guy — unless, of course, he knows about call forwarding.
- Fire alarms are passe. No one pays attention unless they, themselves, have burst into flames. A bomb threat on the building next door gets people out of the building you're targeting and has them concentrating on another place. Plus, modern bomb squads use RF jammers that block potential bomb triggers, cell phones and wireless security camera.
- Don't try crawling through the air ducts in a modern office building unless you're rake thin or a toddler — they're only 18 inches wide. You can, however, shimmy through the sub-ceiling.
- Hey, kids! Build your own primitive x-ray! Wire an old TV tube to a taser, and you'll get a decent outline — also, possibly, radiation burns, but what the hell.
- The hardest part of being a covert operative is NOT beating the crap out of someone like Eddie when you know you could, but your cover dictates that he wins the fight.
- Pyros, take note: 12 gauge incendiary rounds create a fire that burns at 3000 degrees, and if you shoot said round at someone's car tire, they will most likely stop driving. Funny, that.
- Water sealant is good for more than just sealing surfaces — it also makes a big boom!
- A little harmless gunfire attracts less attention than a double homicide.
- If you've got to disobey orders, do it with style — and explosions!

How do you pronounce the word "Assiniboine?" What does it mean?It's pronounced "ah-SIN-uh-boin." It comes from the Ojibwe name for the tribe, Assinipwan, which means "stone water people." The Ojibwe probably called them this because they used heated stones to boil most of their food. In Canada, the Assiniboines are also known as the Stoney Indians, for the same reason. In their own language, the Assiniboines call themselves Nakota or Nakoda, which means "the allies."
Are the Assiniboines Sioux people?The Assiniboines are relatives of the Lakota and Dakota tribes, and they speak a similar language. However, they have always been politically distinct from the Sioux. In fact, they were often at war with each other.
Where do the Assiniboines live?The Assiniboine Indians are original people of Montana, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. Most Assiniboine people are still living there today.
How is the Assiniboine Indian nation organized?In the United States, the Assiniboine Indians live on two reservations, Fort Belknap and Fort Peck. A reservation is land that belongs to an Indian tribe and is under their control. The Assiniboines at Fork Belknap share a reservation with the Gros Ventre, and the Assiniboines at Fort Peck share a reservation with the Sioux. In Canada, there are eight separate bands of Stoney Assiniboines, each with its own reservation (known as a reserve in Canada.) Each of these tribes has its own government, laws, police, and services, just like a small country. However, the Assiniboines are also US or Canadian citizens and must obey the laws of those countries too. In this past, each Assiniboine band was led by a chief elected by a tribal council. Some Assiniboine bands in Canada still operate this way today. In the United States, because the Assiniboines share reservations with the Gros Ventre and Sioux tribes, they are ruled by councils which are elected by all the citizens and include members from both tribes.
What language do the Assiniboine Indians speak?The Assiniboine people speak English today. Some Assiniboines, mostly elders, also speak their native Nakoda language. The Nakoda language spoken in Canada is significantly different than the one spoken in the United States. Most linguists consider them two distinct languages, Stoney (Canadian) and Assiniboine (American.) Like Spanish and Italian, they share many similarities and speakers of one language can often guess what speakers of the other language are saying. If you'd like to know an easy Assiniboine word, "hau" (pronounced similar to the English word "how") is a friendly greeting.
How do Assiniboine Indian children live, and what did they do in the past?They do the same things all children do--play with each other, go to school and help around the house. Many Assiniboine children like to go hunting and fishing with their fathers. In the past, Indian kids had more chores and less time to play in their daily lives, just like colonial children. But they did have dolls, toys, and games to play. There was a hoop game played by Plains Indian kids. Older boys also liked to play lacrosse. An Assiniboine mother traditionally carried a young child in a cradleboard on her back--a custom which many American parents have adopted now.
What were men and women's roles in the Assiniboine tribe?Assiniboine women were in charge of the home. Besides cooking and cleaning, an Assiniboine woman built her family's house and dragged the heavy posts with her whenever the tribe moved. Houses belonged to the women in the Asiniboine tribe. Men were hunters and warriors, responsible for feeding and defending their families. Only men became Assiniboine chiefs, but both genders took part in storytelling, artwork and music, and traditional medicine.
What were Assiniboine homes like in the past?The Assiniboine people lived in large buffalo-hide tents called tipis (or teepees). Tipis were carefully designed to set up and break down quickly. An entire Assiniboine village could be packed up and ready to move within an hour. Originally tipis were only about 12 feet high, but after the Assiniboines acquired horses, they began building them twice that size. Today, Native Americans may put up a tepee for fun or to connect with their heritage. Most Assiniboine families live in modern houses and apartment buildings, just like you.
What was Assiniboine clothing like? Did the Assiniboines wear feather headdresses and face paint?Assiniboine women wore long dresses made of mountain goat skin or deerskin. Assiniboine men wore breechcloths with leather leggings and Plains or Plateau-style shirts. The Assiniboines wore moccasins on their feet, and in cold weather, they wore long buffalo-hide robes. A Assiniboine lady's dress or warrior's shirt was fringed and often decorated with porcupine quills, beadwork, painting, and elk's teeth. Later, Assiniboine people adapted European costume such as cloth dresses and colorful blanket robes. Assiniboine Indian leaders sometimes wore the long warbonnets that Plains Indians are famous for. Other Assiniboine men wore buffalo headdresses, which were buffalo fur caps with horns attached to the side and a tail trailing behind. Traditionally, Assiniboine people only cut their hair when they were in mourning. Usually they wore their hair long and loose, though warriors sometimes wore their hair in braids or coiled on top of their heads. The Assiniboines also painted their faces for special occasions. They used different patterns for war paint, religious ceremonies, and festive decoration. Assiniboine men also wore tribal tattoos on their chests and arms, while the women tattooed spirit lines on their faces. Today, some Assiniboine people still have moccasins or a buckskin dress, but they wear modern clothes like jeans instead of breechcloths... and they only wear traditional regalia on special occasions like a wedding or a dance.
What were Assiniboine weapons and tools like in the past?Assiniboine hunters used bows and arrows. In war, Assiniboine men fired their bows or fought with war clubs and buffalo-hide shields.
What other Native Americans did the Assiniboine tribe interact with?The Assiniboines traded regularly with other tribes of the Great Plains. They particularly liked to trade buffalo hides and meat to tribes like the Hidatsa in exchange for corn. These tribes usually communicated using the Plains Sign Language. The Assiniboines also fought wars with other tribes. Plains Indian tribes treated war differently than European countries did. They didn't fight over territory but instead to prove their courage, and so Plains Indian war parties rarely fought to the death or destroyed each other's villages. Instead, their war customs included counting coup (touching an opponent in battle without harming him), stealing an enemy's weapon or horse, or forcing the other tribe's warriors to retreat. Some tribes the Assiniboines frequently fought with included the Sioux, Blackfeet, and Crow Indians.
What are Assiniboine arts and crafts like?Assiniboine artists are famous for their quill embroidery, beadwork, and carving arts.
What kinds of stories do the Assiniboines tell?There are lots of traditional Assiniboine legends and tales. Storytelling is very important to the Assiniboine Indian culture. There are many stories about the adventures of the Assiniboine hero Icmá. For more information, follow this link: http://www.bigorrin.org/assiniboine_kids.htm Reprinted with permission.

Will You Vote And Where?
As the November general election approaches, political parties and civil rights groups are underway with voter registration drives, on the one hand attempting to increase the voting strength for partisan candidates and on the other to enhance the overall participation of the electorate in the voting process. With the Y-2000 elections razor-thin majorities deciding the victory in many races, including the Presidency, citizens are more then ever aware that their vote will "count."
The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization founded in 1920, just six months before ratification of the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution giving women the right to vote, has remained one of the most active organizations in registering citizens of both genders nationwide. Its website provides an on-line form allowing any citizen to register or update voting eligibility and forward the form to the appropriate state and county registrar. Subsequently, the applicant will receive email notification of his or her voting status. The form can be accessed at www.lwv.org
For Puerto Ricans living on the mainland, efforts are underway to either register them to vote in local, state and federal races or to obtain absentee ballots to qualify them to vote for elective offices on the island on November 7, 2004.
Some Puerto Ricans living away from the island at election time can qualify to vote by absentee ballot. The Puerto Rico Electoral Commission (Comisión Estatal de Elecciones) lists some ten eligible categories, including full time students, members of the military, diplomats, certain contractors and even prisoners confined to jails outside of Puerto Rico. In some cases, for example students from the island studying at mainland universities, individuals can make a choice as to which political process they prefer to enter into as a voter, the mainland or the island...
This weeks Hot Button Issue poll asks readers to state a preference for which electoral battle they would wish to join, assuming that they were qualified to register in both.
The Republican Partys nationwide effort to register 3 million new voters before Election Day began with a week-long drive beginning on March 6th. According to Mary Ellen Gant of the Republican National Committee (RNC), the 7-day effort exceeded the 1- million voter goal, with the final count in at 1,029,492. Volunteers in 50 states are the backbone of the registration drive in their local communities. Their efforts are assisted by "Reggie, the Registration Rig," a 16-wheeler, tractor trailer that will travel throughout the nation until November. When "Reggie" makes stops at public events, it opens up into a sound stage as a venue for concerts. The website www.gopteamleader.com/reggie tracks the rigs movement along the nations highways. On March 25th, Reggie set up in New Yorks Times Square for a concert telecast by MTV.
National Democrats are focusing their attention on motivating already registered Democrats to turnout on Election Day to defeat George W. Bush and add to Democratic strength in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. Democratic National Committee (DNC/www.dnc.org) spokesperson, Jano Cabrera, told the Herald that "although the Democratic Party is targeting its efforts to key states, it is working to see the entire Democratic vote top-off at record levels." As part of the effort, the DNC has organized eleven "voter outreach desks," staffed to focus on such groups as African Americans, Latino/Hispanic Americans, Women, Senior Americans and Veterans. One desk, "College Democrats," presumably will be targeting the same Puerto Rican students as will the Americans for Puerto Rican Statehood (APRS).
In a recent press release, APRS announced that it is beginning a project to encourage absentee voting in the Puerto Rican elections by island students matriculating at mainland colleges and universities. APRS spokesperson, Rocío Vélez, told the Herald that the group is contacting its members at various campuses to encourage Puerto Rican students to obtain absentee ballots in time for the islands general election in November. To this end it has developed a website, www.votoausentepr.com, that links to the Puerto Rico Electoral Commission. Ms. Vélez says the group has set the goal of registering 3,500 qualified Puerto Ricans to vote by absentee ballot. That number represents the approximate total absentee votes registered in the Y-2000 general elections.
Although the effort is non-partisan, it is likely that APRS will be encouraging votes for the statehood-leaning New Progressive Party (NPP). It was at a function for Luis Fortuño at The American University in Washington, D.C., that the group announced the initiative. Fortuño is the NPP candidate for the Resident Commissioner post.
The Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration (PRFAA), operating out of a headquarters in Washington and 12 regional offices, has renewed its efforts to register Puerto Ricans residing on the U.S. mainland to vote in the mainland elections. The 3-year effort began in 2002 with great fanfare as the islands Governor, Sila Calderon, traveled to New York, New Jersey and elsewhere to kick off the drives. The six million dollar budget for the registration drive has been controversial. Critics question if money from the islands treasury ought to be used to promote voting in mainland jurisdictions.
To date, the campaign has registered some 190,000 Puerto Rican and Hispanic voters nationwide but it recently ran afoul of local election officials in Chicago, IL, when it was announced that two PRFAA employees were being investigated for fraudulently registering between one and two thousand registrations. Allegedly, the registrations were done using false names and addresses. PRFAA joined with Chicagos Board of Elections to announce a joint investigation of the matter. PRFAA Executive Director Mari Carmen Aponte expressed her determination to investigate the situation and punish any guilty party under her authority. "Should any irregularities be found, full disciplinary action will be taken in cooperation with the Board of Elections."
So, if you are a Puerto Rican living on the U.S. mainland, chances are good that someone will ask you to register to vote next November. Assuming that you were qualified to vote in either a mainland or an island election, which one would you choose?
Please vote above!

Daniel Leen was born in Seattle in 1947, studied Anthropology at Beloit College in Beloit Wisconsin, graduating with honors in 1969. He became interested in Northwest Coast art after moving to British Columbia in 1972 and spent about a dozen years first building and then living aboard and sailing between southern Puget Sound and northern British Columbia. During this period he visited many remote village sites, widely scattered pictograph and petroglyph sites, and the major archaeological and ethnographic artifact collections at various museums.
He has worked at a number of archaeological excavation projects including Ozette, Namu, and Seattle's West Point, and has also conducted inventories of prehistoric rock art sites in Puget Sound and on the northern B.C. coast by sailboat. Four summers spent manning U.S. Forest Service fire lookouts in wilderness areas and a stint in Alaska's Brooks Range caretaking a cabin has also given him time to develop his carving skills with an attention to detail rarely seen in modern Northwest Coast art.
Largely self taught, Leen has received informal instruction from such well known carvers as Bill Reid and Bill Holm. The small size of these pieces forces the artist to reduce the designs to their basic structures, giving them an archaic or "primitive" look. Rather than attempting to express his own personal style in modern Northwest Coast art, Leen's stated goal is to produce modern amulets that appear to be "old fashioned and traditional". After more than 20 years spent carving Northwest Coast art, he has lately returned to other styles, including Celtic knots, Mimbres pottery designs, and other folk art traditions.

Low Cost Home Repair Ideas
You are getting ready to close on your new home or you just moved in and all of the sudden, HGTV has become your favorite show. However, you pushed your budget just to buy the house and have to be very cost conscious when looking at doing any fix up. Or maybe you want to give your existing residence a fresh look, do a home repair or two without spending a lot. There are a great deal of home repairs you can do that aren't very expensive, though they may take a little labor.
Let's start with one of the most common fixes - paint. Paint does a lot more than just change and update a room; it also makes it feel new and clean. Ok, so you know you're going to put on your painter pants and paint the interior of the house, but now you have the hard job of selecting what color or colors?
Start by finding inspiration, which must be done before you go to the paint store. In fact, the designers at Benjamin Moore say, "You can come up with ideas by creating a portfolio of what appeals to you: a favorite painting, the color or your baby's eyes, an unforgettable vacation in Mexico or that great hike in the Grand Canyon. First, take into consideration your inspirational images' common denominators in terms of color. Do you like a variety of colors or particular shades and tints of a specific color? Do you like them bold or muted? Digging deep in the well of inspiration plays an important role in selection and whittling down your choices."
Now with that inspiration in mind, head to the paint store. The first thing is to eliminate the colors you don't like. That is always easiest. Next you will need to take the paint chips home with you and compare those colors with the other things you plan on using in the room to see what looks best. Live with them for at least a week. You will be amazed how each time you look you will see something new about the color and it will help narrow them down. You should have now narrowed the choices to 3 or 4 and you can go back to the paint store and purchase small sample bottles to test on the walls. According to Better homes and Gardens, "Nothing will help you choose a color better than seeing the hue applied to the wall."
Live with those colors applied to your wall for a week or so and you'll be more prepared to purchase your top color choices and get started. If you are still unsure, go the trendy neutral route.
Here are a few other ideas you can use to inexpensively liven up your home:
- Purchase new hardware for the kitchens and bathrooms
- Remove doors of a few cabinets in the kitchen, paint the interior of the cabinet a color that will pop and add some pieces in it
- Find a great area rug to hide floors that might need to be redone
- Change Lighting fixtures
These are just a few ideas to get you started in your new home.

Natural Resources Defense Council, Santa Monica, California
LEED Platinum rating ~ Commercial Office Building retrofit with multisource "super green" irrigation system:
In 2013, the NRDC installed a ReWater irrigation system in their Santa Monica HQ to replace the one-of-a-kind toilet flushing system they had installed in 2003, which was costing them a fortune to operate. This ReWater system irrigates flower pots on the roof and landscaping around the ground floor perimeter of the building. First, it uses grey water from sinks and showers, starting and stopping as grey water is produced throughout the day. Second, it has two large underground reservoirs for capturing rain that flows into indoor storage tanks to be pressurized, which are used only after midnight to back up any day's deficit on the irrigation program. Then third, if there wasn't enough grey water that day, and the rain tanks have run dry, the system uses potable water to complete that day's irrigation program. It's as green as it gets. In the LEED program, this is worth 12 points.

Disable Firewalls, Antivirus, and Antispyware Tools
I know, I know. Everyone is paranoid that they are going to be hax0red the moment they disable these programs. If you are that afraid, unplug the internet from the network while you play games. In any case, programs like Norton, McAffe, Zone Alarm, Avast, Windows Firewall etc... will do nothing but harm your gameplay experience. These can cause lag issues, and the lack of connectivity altogether. Just remember to re-enable these programs when you are done!
"Stop all the downloadin'"
It may seem obvious, but please, disable any auto-update services that may be running (Windows, Adobe, antivirus, etc...). Oh, and I shouldn't even have to say it. Don't download torrents or transfer files during a game!
Disable Unused Adapters
On most modern computers, you may find two or more network adapters. This poses a problem for some games, and it is highly recommened that all unused LAN adapters are disabled, whether it be a physical plug, wireless, or even virtual (like hamachi or some other vpn software). The ideal scenario is to have ONE and only ONE adapter in use. This way the game can't somehow get confused as to which adapter it is trying to send/recieve information from.
The video below in the 'Network Stack Order' section demonstrates how to disable an adapter.
Network Stack Order
Setting the network stack order determines the order of your network adapters that programs will try to access the network with. So if you have a connection "Local Area Connection" set on the top, but your physical plug is plugged into a different adapter, your program will first try to access the network via "Local Area Connection". Make sure you set the adapter you are using on the top, even if all the other adapters are disabled.
This video shows how to disable un-used adpaters, and set the stack order correctly. If you don't know how to get into "Network Connections" to begin with, go to start > control panel > network connections.
Check Your Hosts File!
This file maps hostnames to IP addresses. It is located in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc. Open it up in notepad and make sure you don't have any bad entries in this file! I only have "127.0.0.1 localhost" in mine. Having various entries here can interfere with your ability to connect to other games.
Kill Punkbuster
If the LAN game you are joining isn't going to use PunkBuster, there is no point in leaving it running. It's just one more application that can interfere with a successful LAN. To turn it off, simply:

In September 2008, the California Public Utilities Commission adopted the most aggressive energy efficiency goals in the nation through its Long-Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan (CEESP).
The CEESP identified commercial buildings as the single largest users of energy in California, accounting for more than 38% of California's electricity consumption and 25% of its natural gas use. Office buildings account for 25% of all energy used by this sector.
The CEESP established the following goals for commercial buildings:
- Zero net energy performance for all new commercial construction by 2030
- Fifty-percent (50%) of existing buildings achieve zero net energy performance by 2030
The California Sustainability Alliance assembled an expert group of professionals with substantial experience in commercial real estate to develop a pilot project designed to significantly accelerate development of green buildings in California. Through a series of workshops, the Alliance's Green Buildings Advisory Committee observed that in California, much more office space is leased (90%) than is owned (10%). The Alliance's Advisors strongly recommended focusing on greening the 90% of California's existing office buildings that are leased.
The Alliance thus embarked upon a Green Leases Initiative that commenced with development of a Green Leases Toolkit that creates a template for landlords and tenants to integrate green elements into commercial office leases. And in 2017, the Alliance updated the Toolkit with the latest industry guidance.
In May 2009, the Alliance published a study exploring the opportunities and constraints in the greening of leased office space in California. Click here for the full report. In 2017, the Alliance published updates to the Green Leasing Report. Click here for the report update.

Fear Is My Friend
Rob Wilson speaks volumes in Fear Is My Friend and he makes you fully realize the fact the the second you accept that one thing in life and learn from it, you heal. You are suddenly able to open your mouth, deal the the fear, and rise above it. You are able to express yourself as an individual and not deal with what the so-called "brilliant others" have to say.
In other words, your own individual warrior who's buried deep inside of you is finally able to rise up and take over. He/she is able to lead you through the world with courage, strength, and a backbone that's made of iron.
When you do this, your life becomes lucrative – from the relationship mode to the financial mode. If you take over your own life and your own destiny instead of being ruled over by the ones who say they know how to fix things. It is then that you become the master or mistress of your own destiny.
No, this is not a fairy tale. This is absolute truth.
We have all come up against liars, hateful humans, and people who simply want to roll through life by rolling over others. But Rob's words change all that. In fact, what he does best is allow us to go back to being the people we were. He allows us to let go of the negative and horrific thoughts, and to begin again.
Let go of your history.
So many people are guilty of holding on to that time that was horrific for us and pulled us down. Anger, hatred, rough times, etc., these can be let go.
You can simply follow Rob's words and you will immediately see and feel a lifting of the past. Almost as if the little boy or girl inside of you is standing up, waving, and walking into that sunset, allowing you to go further and faster than you've ever gone before. You can love, you can become set financially, and you can see the world with clear eyes – what is truth and what is absolutely 100% fiction.
Rob learned. He dealt with the belief of fear. Yet, over time his infinite spirit became unfettered and authorized him to give thanks for his freedom! Freedom belongs to each of us. It is our divine right. Being able to express ideas, and work our way up the ladder of OUR choosing belongs to us.
We can be free to see the awe-inspiring, regal, rich sapience that enriches life, as well as raise our children to understand that their inner-self is far more important than what any television show, controlling boss, or tabloid has to offer. All of this comes from inside of us, and no matter who tries to break that down or destroy our beliefs, they can't. Our armor of protection is our own mind, heart and soul, and no one – no fear – can bury us unless WE let it.
Rob seems to be able to find – buried under all the layers of our fear, anxiety, stress and walls of self-protection – our strength, courage and wisdom that comes from learning the negatives, understanding the fear, and making that fear our friend. Because, let's face it, when an opponent can be seen as nothing more than a farce, the fear melts away and we are left with a life that is a true and utter celebration.
If you need a hope, a return of faith, or even a rebuilding of self-confidence, then it is time to meet Rob in his book, Fear Is My Friend, and change your life!
Enjoy this excerpt from Chapter One: Expanding Astute Revelations
Fear is my friend… opening my heart, eyes, spirit, chakras, body, cells and mind; fear edifies, admitting real first-truths and expanding astute revelations.
My fears are emotional energy in my internal landscape that broaden my boldness, inaugurating rainbow brilliance to embrace the innate canniness that I encompass, except when I overlook the emotional charge of my fears.
With that, I am instantly in donnybrook in my inner identity, instigating my termite of turmoil into raising cane because I am locked and blocked in living the insane of the same; as I am stuck in the mundane because I wailed in fail, unwilling to book the look of wealth and success.
Therefore, I now cherish my qualms to be calm, to famously book the look of wealth and success, releasing my titan of triumph with a new wave of peerless prudence. I instantly grasp with aspiring look to book my keenly focused eagle-eyed all-wise regality; to brilliantly broadcast:
I am the student of my journey! I am the master of my destiny!
Enjoy this video with Rob talking about his book, Fear Is My Friend

Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann
Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum
Anderson Cooper
Santorum: Father and Husband.
Paul: I'm the Champion of Liberty.
Cain: I'm Businessman Herman Cain.
Romney: I was a businessman, Mass. Governor
Perry: Texas Governor, Job Creator
Gingrich: Unlike Obama, I like being in Las Vegas. (Applause)
Bachmann: I hope what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas.
Audience question: Replace Federal Income Tax with Federal Sales Tax?
Bachmann: We have to be concerned about a Value Added Tax where something gets taxed over and over again.
Cain: I would encourage people to read our analysis at HermanCain.com The reason my plan is being attacked so much is because lobbyists and politicians want to manipulate the American people.
Santorum: Cain well meaning, but would add a tax on 84% of the middle class. Nothing takes care of the families, single persons would pay just as much as people with families.
Cain: That is simply not true. It is not a VAT. Americans should read the analysis and do the math for themselves.
Bachmann: Supply chain would be taxed, so it is a VAT.
Perry: NH residents are not interested in a 9-9-9.
Cain: It is not a VAT. A loaf of bread has five taxes in it already [under the current tax code].
Paul: It is a regressive tax. Many Americans pay no tax. The audience member asked a different question. I think we should replace the income tax with NOTHING. (Audience Cheers).
Cain: None of my colleagues understand the plan. It simply removes all of the hidden taxes.
Romney: People of Nevada don't want to pay both taxes. I want to reduce taxes on employers and middle income people. I want to open up trade for new markets for America.
Gingrich: He [Cain] just watched how hard of a sell it is. Cain deserves credit for having a bold plan and talking about something that matters. There are much more complexities than [Cain] lets on. I propose 0% capital gains. I agree with Romney, focus should be on jobs.
Bachmman: Every American should pay something [tax]. My tax plan is provable and works [refers to Reagan model]. I want to simplify the tax code. Its not just tax code, its regulations. Repeal Dodd-Frank. MichelleBachmann.com
Perry: The focus of 9 should be on 9 percent unemployment. Get this energy that is under our feet. We have 300 years of resources: Petroleum, natural gas, coal. People need the dignity of having a job. Lets have American energy independence.
Romney: Perry is absolutely right about American energy independence. Repeal Obamacare.
Santorum: I agree with Perry, Romney. In western Europe, people have a better chance of upward social mobility than in America. All manufacturers to bring their money back. Romney, you have no credibility to claim to want to eliminate Obamacare.
Romney: Romney care was crafted for the people of Mass., not the entire country. I would not impose the Mass plan on the rest of America. I will repeal Obamacare.
Santorum: What you did was exactly what Obama did, attack health care costs with a top down government program.
Romney: The people of Mass. like it by a 3-1 margin.
Gingrich: Romney is wrong with his experiment in Romneycare.
Romney: We got the idea of individual mandates from you.
Bachmann: Anderson, Anderson, Anderson, Anderson. Obamacare is so unpopular that the Obama administration is beginning to reject parts of it.

Dominion Enterprises
A computer server within InterActive Financial Marketing Group (IFMG), a division of Dominion Enterprises located in Richmond, Virginia, was hacked into and illegally accessed by an unknown and unauthorized third party between November 2007 and February 2008. The data intrusion resulted in the potential exposure of personal information, including the names, addresses, birth dates, and social security numbers of 92,095 applicants who submitted credit applications to IFMG's family of special finance Web sites.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)
Resource accounts for two departments revealed around 62,000 people were affected by breaches. In its biggest data breach, the MoJ reported that discs containing 27,000 supplier records, including supplier name, address and some cases bank details were stolen. Data losses reported by the MoJ included a laptop that contained data on 14,000 fine defaulters. The data included names, dates of birth, address, offence and in a fifth of cases national insurance numbers. The laptop was stolen within secured government premises and described as inadequately protected. MoJ also reported a loss of paper documents that involved data on 3,648 people including their alleged offences. The DWP's resource accounts said its biggest breach was the retention of two discs by a contractor. The discs contained the data of 9,000 people and forced the department to notify law enforcement. The department also suffered two other incidents. One in July 2007 that potentially affected 7,800 and one in January when papers with data on 45 people were lost.
Keller High School
Keller family's received a mailing from Keller High School last week. Upon opening it, they found two enrollment forms. One was an emergency-care authorization form. But the other was a student information form containing another classmate's social security number, student ID number, home address, phone number and contact information for his parents at home and at work. They quickly realized that their child's private information, which they used to set up their college fund and other accounts, was mailed to someone else.
The Princeton Review
The test-preparatory firm, accidentally published the personal data and standardized test scores of tens of thousands of Florida students on its Web site. One file on the site contained information on about 34,000 students in the public schools in Sarasota, Fla. Another folder contained dozens of files with names and birth dates for 74,000 students in the school system of Fairfax County, Va.

Said Yousif Almuhafda, head of monitoring at the Bahrain Center for Human Rights, has been to Sanabis, scene of violent scenes yesterday, to speak with the affected residents. This account is taken from his recent tweets:
Riot police raided a house yesterday in Sanabis, kidnapped a citizen and assaulted women. Women stated to me that riot police beat them with weapons, pepper-sprayed them and cursed them.
I met the kidnapped citizen who stated to me that he was severely beaten in the police jeep in Sanabis. He stated that he was beaten nearly 30 minutes, cursed and threatened by riot police inside the jeep.
Pictures of injuries:
I met another young man kidnapped yesterday, beaten severely with batons and weapons by riot police. He stated that he was sexually harrassed, burned with lighters and cigarettes and he was threatened to work as an informer.
Said Yousif also shared this video of an arrest of a young man in Sanabis yesterday. At around 0:30 in the video, one of the arresting officers can be seen to jab the young man sharply in the stomach with his baton:

Turn video into a cartoon or stylized look with a click
Give video footage that sought-after cartoon look easily and quickly with unique algorithms to transform your image into beautiful cartoon shading and lines. Its five plug-ins free you from time-consuming techniques like rotoscoping and hand painting, and give precise control over styles, shading and outlines. Version 2 adds the Heat Vision plug-in (mimicking the look of the Predator movies), 14 new styles, new presets, and faster output.
What's New
- New styles, and 40 new presets makes ToonIt v2 the most powerful cartoon filter available in your editor or compositor.
- Much faster output speed compared to version 1.1, now up to 4x faster!
- Red Giant ToonIt was formerly ToonIt! Film/Video from Digital Anarchy. The new package includes Avid support with your purchase.
Reasons To Buy
- 64 bit compatibility provides significant performance gains
- Free yourself from time-consuming techniques like rotoscoping and hand painting
- Add stylized looks such as Airbrush, Woodcut or Scratchboard to make dull footage more exciting
- Upgrade to version 2 to get faster rendering, new styles and presets, and a new blur option
Add interest to ordinary images
Keep your toon'ed version as close to the original video as you'd like while adding strong visual interest. The ToonIt plug-ins preserves the sharp edges and color fields of the footage. Choose from many artistic stylizations, including the new Marker, Woodcut, Scratchboard and Conte outline styles. ToonIt transforms your video with just a few clicks.
Powerful presets
ToonIt's cartooning algorithm is so smart and elegant that you will be able to use its default settings most of the time, and Version 2 contains more than 40 presets. The style options are easy to use and output is optimized, making your workflow fast and easy. No other cartooning solution produces such good results with so little tweaking.
Believable cartoon effects
Other cartooning effects use posterization algorithms to create a quick-and-dirty cartoon effect. This doesn't create a believable look for the human form and face, and there tends to be a lot of jitter from frame to frame. Red Giant ToonIt uses unique algorithms created by Toonamation to transform your image into beautiful cartoon shading and lines.
New Presets - Updated in v2
With new 40+ style presets for After Effects, FCP and Motion, getting great results is even easier in version 2. A reorganzied interface and new controls grouped by style, give you more flexibility. Please note: Presets do not work in Premiere Pro.
Style Choices - More in v2!
Choose from many cartoon styles, including Flat Cartoon, Graphic Novel, Comic Noir (b&w), Half-Tone (dots), Stipple, High Contrast, Poster Paint, Marker, and Gouache.
"Real" Cartoon Styles
The Roto Toon plug-in generates colorful flat shading, while the Outlines Only plug-in creates realistic line drawings.
More Outline Styles - New in v2
The Blacklight Edges plug-in makes your image look as if the edges have been placed under a blacklight, while the Goth Toon plug-in flattens the image for a high-contrast look. The Marker style makes your footage look like it's been sketched on paper with colored pens, while Scratchboard options gives an edgy, hand-carved look to your footage.
New Blur option - New in v2
All ToonIt 2 plug-ins now have a new Supersmart Blur option, which uses blurring percentage, test radius, and blur radius to create a smooth but still detailed result that helps generate better output with less spurious lines and colored areas.
Heat Vision - New in v2
The new Heat Vision plug-in simulates infrared camera footage to easily mimic the look from the Predator movies.
Faster Rendering - New in v2
ToonIt 2 has been optimized for faster output, especially for HD source with 3-4x speed improvement across the board. Render options allow you to make the right tradeoffs between quality and render time.
Smooth Animation
Improvements in ToonIt create smooth cartoon-like output with very little jitter or you can choose styles with a lot of variation in the drawing style over time.

The term "validation" plays an important role in the manufacturing of medical products. Thereby it is notable that many manufacturers go their own way in order to ensure the procedures during the manufacturing process.
All the more astonishing is the fact that in many cases not the process is being validated - and therefore the quality of the molded parts as the final product - but the machine and the mold.
Constant machine settings however will not necessarily lead to consistent part quality.
For this reason more and more often control systems are implemented which actually compensate for the variations in the process.
