The Media Research Center is out with the latest edition of our Notable Quotables newsletter, a compilation of the most outrageous, sometimes humorous, quotes from the liberal meda. This week's lowlights: Liberal pundits insist that the unfolding details of Obama's incompetent handling of the September 11 attack in Benghazi is an "utterly contrived" story, an "October Mirage."
The ever-wacky Chris Matthews is even sticking with Team Obama's now discredited first response: "Everybody knows it's about the video. It's all about the video."
This week's best quotes are after the jump; you can read the entire issue at www.MRC.org:
Obama's Libya Incompetence an "Utterly Contrived" Issue
"It's obviously been totally politicized at this point. I lived in a civil war in Beirut for four years. These are incredibly messy situations. People don't show up with uniforms....You can have a flash mob turned into a planned thing. You can have planned people inside of a flash mob. To me, this is an utterly contrived story in the sense that, 'this is the end of,' you know, 'Obama's foreign policy.'"
— New York Times columnist Tom Friedman on NBC's Meet the Press, October 21.
"This business about the, you know, the Libya consulate has been like the October Mirage — it really isn't an issue. And so, once again, tomorrow, Obama is going to have a very strong position because his foreign policy has been largely successful in terms of substance."
— Time's Joe Klein on CBS's Face the Nation, October 21.
Poor Obama Just a Victim of Sloppy Intelligence
"Mr. President, since we've been airborne, a person or persons of interest picked up in Tunisia in connection with Benghazi. The question becomes, have you been happy with the intelligence, especially in our post 9-11 world? The assessment of your intelligence community, as we stand here, is that it still was a spontaneous terrorist attack, and were you happy with what you were able to learn as this unfolded? It went on for several hours."
— The only question about the September 11 attack in Benghazi posed by Brian Williams to President Obama in a lengthy interview shown on NBC's Rock Center, October 25. [MP3 audio (0:55)]
Chris Still Won't Drop Discredited "Video" Story
Chris Matthews, talking to a crowd waiting for debate: "Okay, Romney. One more Romney. Romney."
Romney voter, explaining his support: "Romney. He doesn't cover up scandals in the Middle East."
Matthews: "What was the scandal that was covered up?"
Romney voter: "Benghazi."
Matthews: "What was the scandal?"
Romney voter: "Well, I mean-"
Matthews, raising his voice: "Get to it, nail it, what was the scandal?!"
Romney voter: "He said it was the video. It was not about the video."
Matthews: "Yeah, it was about the video. Read the newspaper. Thank you. Everybody knows it's about the video. It's all about the video. Thank you very much."
— MSNBC's Hardball, October 22, talking about the Obama administration's initial claims that the Benghazi attack was the result of a "spontaneous" demonstration against an anti-Muslim video shown on YouTube. Twelve days earlier, on October 10, the State Department acknowledged there was no protest the night of the attack.
Crowley Criticism Shows Conservatives Are Losers
"You know the Republicans believe they lost the debate last night when they start whining about the referee, and let the record show that Candy Crowley brought honor to the whole business of moderating. She honored her profession of journalism. She did her job. You don't have to be a Republican, Democrat or Mugwump to acknowledge she did a good job. And the fact that the Republicans are, as I say, whining about it tells you they pretty much know they lost."
— Ex-CBS anchor Dan Rather on MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Show, October 17.
GOP's Pro-Life Platform Is "Almost Like Sharia"
"There's a Grand Canyon of difference between Obama, who's very pro-choice, and, for example, the Republican ticket this year, which would give 14th Amendment rights, whatever that means, life, liberty, and property rights, to a fetus that had just been — or rather, an egg that has just been fertilized, right after sex, if you will. And to have that notion that that would be a person under this personhood thing that Ryan's pushing, and under the 14th Amendment rights, the platform that Romney's running on. This is extremism!...It's almost like Sharia. You're saying to the country, we're going to operate under a religious theory...."
— Chris Matthews during MSNBC's pre-debate coverage, October 16.
Distorting Mourdock to Bash Romney
"Ms. Buchanan, does the Romney campaign believe that God intends rape?"
— Fill-in host Luke Russert to Romney advisor Bay Buchanan on MSNBC's The Daily Rundown, October 24.
Thanks for Exposing "Vicious and Callous" GOP Plans
"If his [the House GOP] budget were ever to come to pass, then Meals on Wheels would be killed, transportation services to the disabled would be destroyed, food stamps would be eviscerated. I think many Americans would end up in soup kitchens like that. So I don't think we should be critical. I think we should be grateful that what Mr. Ryan has shown us is exactly what will happen to people if the kind of vicious and callous budget that he would wish to impose on American people ends up coming to pass."
— MSNBC's Martin Bashir on NewsNation, October 16.
Romney's Real Plan: Rich Get Richer While Poor People Die
"Mitt Romney doesn't see dead people. But that's only because he doesn't want to see them; if he did, he'd have to acknowledge the ugly reality of what will happen if he and Paul Ryan get their way on health care....A literal description of their plan is that they want to expose many Americans to financial insecurity, and let some of them die, so that a handful of already wealthy people can have a higher after-tax income."
— New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, October 15.
Blame GOP Shenanigans If Romney Wins Ohio
"Ohio seems still close enough that Romney could upset and win there (keep in mind: the whole upper tier of Ohio state government is in the hands of the GOP now; in very close voting they have the power to influence what votes are counted and how...remember Ohio, Bush v. Kerry in 2004 and Florida, Bush v. Gore in 2000)."
— Dan Rather in an October 22 posting to the Facebook page for his AXS-TV show, Dan Rather Reports.
Teen Girl Forced to Watch MSNBC All Day by NPR Mom
"Before falling comatose into bed around 10:30, I probably will listen to all or part of Rachel Maddow's show on MSNBC (on weekends, I also watch Up with Chris Hayes.) My 14-year-old daughter can rattle off the entire MSNBC line-up, so that should tell you something about our household viewing habits."
— Maureen Corrigan, book reviewer for National Public Radio and the Washington Post, in an October 1 Atlantic Wire "What I Read" feature.

Desktops in the Cloud
Crack Sun identity management field operatives Paul Walker and Joachim Andres have put together an amazing demo of Sun's identity stack working with Sun xVM and Secure Global Desktop to provision (and disable!) 'Desktops in the Cloud' to end users. It's an integration tour de force, bringing together a whole slew of Sun products into a whole that is much more than the sum of its parts. Cool soundtrack too - well worth 12 minutes of your time. Oh - and make sure you view 'full screen', so you can properly see what's happening - there's quite a lot going on!

By air and sea, Defense Department assets based in Washington state could play a role in whatever military action the Obama administration chooses if it decides to strike Syria.
But ground troops from Joint Base Lewis-McChord are unlikely to go to Syria after 10 years cycling in and out of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Here's a look at how Washington forces might get involved if Congress approves President Barack Obama's request to use military force to punish Bashar al Assad's regime for using chemical weapons against its own people.
Question: Which Puget Sound military unit is most likely to deploy for a strike on Syria?
Answer: The Everett-based USS Nimitz aircraft carrier strike group is already in the Red Sea. Capt. Jeff Ruth wrote to the carrier's community on Facebook this week that "We do not yet know the extent of our continued involvement in (the Middle East), but I have every confidence that no matter what we are called to do we will be successful."
Q: Will soldiers at Joint Base Lewis-McChord deploy to Syria?
A: That is extremely unlikely. The Senate resolution that would approve the use of force in Syria specifically bars the involvement of ground forces.
Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., drove home the reluctance to deploy ground troops in a statement Wednesday: "Throughout the past decade, our military and their families have done everything we have asked of them and more, and putting 'boots on the ground' in Syria is something I join with the vast majority of Americans in opposing."
Even if circumstances change and the administration decides it wants to deploy soldiers and Marines, Lewis-McChord's troops have other priorities under current Pentagon plans.
The first objective centers on deploying fairly small units to Afghanistan until that war ends. The second has thousands of soldiers turning their attention to military partnerships along the Pacific Rim, such as recent exercises in Australia and South Korea. The I Corps, Lewis-McChord's main Army headquarters, is reporting to the Defense Department's Pacific Command.
In addition, Lewis-McChord's three Stryker brigades are still in recovery and training periods that follow their recent deployments to Afghanistan.
Q: What about the Special Operations Forces at Lewis-McChord?
A: Their movements are secret, but publicly available information suggests their priorities are the same as the conventional Army forces at the base south of Tacoma. Lewis-McChord's 1st Special Forces Group has Green Berets deployed throughout Asia. The 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment deployed to Afghanistan in May for its 16th combat mission to that country or Iraq.
Q: Could Air Force crews at Lewis-McChord support U.S. assets around Syria?
A: Yes. The 62nd Airlift Wing has a global mission supporting U.S. forces overseas. It continuously deploys airmen to the Middle East, where they fly C-17 Globemaster III cargo jets in and out of combat theaters.
Sometimes, they're tasked with special assignments in the region, such as early this year when they supported a French-led mission against an al-Qaida-linked terrorist group operating out of Mali in North Africa.
Q: What about members of the Washington National Guard or Reserves?
A: They could contribute in a limited way. A team from the Washington Guard is currently on assignment in neighboring Jordan, where the senior enlisted soldiers and officers are serving as military liaisons to Middle Eastern nations.

Letter writer William Smith is right to point out that Republicans are to blame for the flaws in the nation's health reform law ("Ehrlich denies GOP fault in flawed health care system," Jan. 3). I hope all your readers took note.
It's the military's massive waste that is bleeding our economy. It has tanks it doesn't need, planes it doesn't fly and ships it doesn't use. Aircraft carriers and submarines are about all we really need.
The Republicans like wars because they can build all these weapons and their rich supporters can make more money. But we pay taxes to take care of the American people, not Europe, and we shouldn't fight wars we have no business being in.
Instead, we must take care of our elderly and the health of our citizens. That is were or tax money should go.

Stroller Costumes: Outfitting Baby's Halloween Ride!
What child wants to walk when he's got a decked-out Halloween ride? Trick-or-treating with a stroller can be a bit of a pain when it comes to running up and down stairs in search of loot, but when a younger sibling is tagging along with her big brother for the night, it's often the only option. If your little one needs some wheels to make it through the night, then a decorated stroller is the way to go. Check out some fun homemade creations other mamas have made — and some that are available for purchase in time for Halloween, too.

Yesterday I watched, "Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial." This is a documentary about the Dover, Pennsylvania's public school system and its legal battle over whether or not to teach "Intelligent Design" alongside evolution. Of course there are two sides to every story, but one would not expect a small public school system to be in federal court on constitutional challenges to the first amendment.
On one side are the public school science teachers who prefer to only teach evolution in their classrooms because they believe that "Intelligent Design" is the same thing as biblical creationism. On the other side you have parents and a couple members of the school board who believe that evolution is a theory and that "intelligent Design" is just another alternative theory that should at least have some honorable mention.
Normally such matters would be resolved locally but this case makes it all the way to a federal courtroom to prove either that Intelligent Design is science, or that Intelligent Design is a cover for biblical creationism.
It's a tense documentary but a good one.

About Henry Kim
Dr. Kim's first passion is his family. He loves the "evening rituals" with his wife Hee-Jung and two daughters, Haerin and Haenah. From the overflow of Christ's love in the home, Dr. Kim finds his rhythm in life, work, and ministry. In particular, he has a passion for Korean-American families and churches, and noting comparisons and contrasts with other Asian and immigrant contexts of acculturation.
He has served as a lead Pastor in two Korean-American churches for fourteen years and continues to selectively accept speaking engagements in respect to Korean-American issues. Prior to coming to Wheaton he also taught at Michigan State University and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. A lifelong passion is to intersect personal and academic interests with the local church.
Courses Taught
- Introduction to Sociology
- Asians in America
- Racial & Ethnic Relations
- Social Class and Inequality
- Sociological Theory
- Sociology of Religion
Dr. Kim finished his Ph.D. in Church History and Historical Thought in the Theological Studies Program at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in May of 2010. He firmly believes that "sociology without theology is powerless and that theology without sociology is blind." With this second Ph.D. completed, Dr. Kim plans to do sociological analyses which center on Korean-American Protestants with theological intersections. He plans to write a book in respect to his current dissertation which focuses on the primary source of Horace N. Allen, the purported first "missionary" to Korea.

Lambie wants to up the ante
Sharks flyhalf Pat Lambie believes that his team can play a lot better than they showed in their opening Super Rugby game against the Bulls.
The Durban side easily overcame the Bulls 31-16 at Kings Park, taking a four-try bonus point along the way, and in the process sent out a strong message to the rest of the competition.
"I think there definitely is a feeling that we can get a lot better," Lambie said.
"Our shape can improve, our work off the ball can improve and there are other aspects too.
"We don't feel like we played that much or that well, which is an encouraging thing and we will be looking to improve throughout this week and put that into practice."
The 23-year-old played down the pre-tournament 'favourites' tag that has been attached to the Sharks, who are at the start of a new period following the appointment of ex-Bok boss Jake White as the director of rugby at the end of the last term.
"We try not make that add any additional pressure to the whole situation," he said.
"I think we have to take it one week at a time. It's all about the processes. If anything, I think it should instil more confidence amongst the group," he said.
Lambie has been given the full backing of White to play in the No.10 jersey this season as he bids to become the established flyhalf in the national set-up under Heyneke Meyer.
He was used in different positions by the Springboks in recent years and his new mentor at the Sharks has made no secret of his desire to establish the player in the pivot role.
Lambie made a solid enough start on Saturday when he scored 16 points, including landing the bonus-point try after the final whistle.
"It was a decent start," he explained.
"I missed a couple of opportunities but it was still pretty good. I am working hard and we'll keep going and keep enjoying it."
He also revealed how White wanted him to command play from the position.
"He wants me to take charge… to control and direct the forwards," Lambie said.
He said that if he could get better with that every week, the team would be in a good space.
"There is an outline of how Jake wants us to play, something that's necessary at this level, but he's big on making us react to what's in front of us," Lambie said.
"That means you need to know when is the right time to get the ball in your hands, to have a go and when to kick.
"We do have licence to play what's in front of us and to attack the space."
The Sharks, who had no injuries to report after the weekend win, face Wellington outfit the Hurricanes in Durban on Saturday.

This guest post is by Cynthia Vella, a junior at Cornell University. She is an Industrial and Labor Relations major as well as the founder and president of her school's Autism Speaks U chapter! Autism Speaks U is a program designed for college students who host awareness, advocacy and fundraising events, while supporting their local autism communities.
As President and Founder of Autism Speaks U at Cornell University, I feel strongly attached to the goals and values of our newly established club. With an uncle who is autistic, I have heard the struggles my mother and her family went through years ago.
Because of this, I decided Cornell needed to spread awareness about autism to it's own students. Gathering a few friends and meeting two more great board members along the way, the Autism Speaks U Cornell board has really come together to raise money and especially awareness around campus. Our university organizations have even reached out to help us promote our cause through various student organizations like Greek sororities, fraternities and Hillel. In our second semester on campus, we have expanded our club's initiatives and are planning a Dance-a-Thon called Dance Now for Autism Speaks U, which we hope will have a huge impact on Cornell.
Members of Autism Speaks U Cornell University tabling to raise awareness.
While last semester was extremely successful, from earning funds through bake sales and through Greek life and Hillel events, this semester, the Autism Speaks U Cornell board has much planned to increase our presence on campus. While bake sales are always easy and fun fundraisers, we plan on holding our first annual Dance-a-Thon on October 22nd in one of our basketball courts with pre-sale tickets, refreshments, cookies, blue decorations, and giveaway t-shirts.
We are currently marketing the event around both the campus and Ithaca community through our school newspaper, media site, flyers and posters. We are also tabling at local dining halls and main libraries where there is a large traffic of students and faculty passing through. We want to reach out to different clubs such as A Cappella and dance groups.
Additionally, one of our board members, Conor Callahan, has teamed up with the Racker Center located in nearby Ithaca for our members to interact with local children affected by autism. We are excited to have this opportunity and plan to start doing smaller events like slumber parties in the spring semester. As our club continues expanding with almost 30 new members this fall, we have more and more great ideas to make the club more successful in our endeavors. New leaders stand out and our board welcomes more students to help raise funds and awareness. We are extremely excited to collaborate with our new members to make a difference in our community.

The heart of an immense darkness
Posted September 22, 2011on:
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The people who call this book racist are not really reading it, I think. It is by far one of the saddest, most enlightened, most profound and most beautiful books I have ever read.
The story opens near where I now live, in Gravesend, on the River Thames.
The sun set; the dusk fell on the stream, and lights began to appear along the shore. The Chapman lighthouse, a three-legged thing erect on a mud-flat, shone strongly. Lights of ships moved in the fairway—a great stir of lights going up and going down. And farther west on the upper reaches the place of the monstrous town was still marked ominously on the sky, a brooding gloom in sunshine, a lurid glare under the stars.
"And this also," said Marlow suddenly, "has been one of the dark places of the earth."
And it's to Gravesend and England that the story returns after an unflinching examination of the complete and horrific disintegration of moral values once they are no longer anchored in the superficially civilising cities of Western Europe.
Marlow ceased, and sat apart, indistinct and silent, in the pose of a meditating Buddha. Nobody moved for a time. "We have lost the first of the ebb," said the Director, suddenly. I raised my head. The offing was barred by a black bank of clouds, and the tranquil waterway leading to the uttermost ends of the earth flowed somber under an overcast sky—seemed to lead into the heart of an immense darkness.

In the battle to end the across-the-board budget cuts known as sequestration, it's all hands on deck.
Increasingly for the Obama administration, which is deadlocked over the budget with the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, that means reaching out to Jews.
Jewish groups favor continuing foreign assistance, and not just to Israel. B'nai B'rith International welcomed the $52 billion allocation, calling it "a serious effort to address America's strategic interests abroad in an era of fiscal austerity." ...more.

text: Here's the first trailer for Beautiful Creatures, the film that Vulture and several other media outlets believe is planning to ride the success of Twilight all the way to the bank. The films certainly have their similarities — both are based on young adult book series, feature the supernatural and teenage romances (though in the case of Beautiful Creatures, it's the normal boy who's taken with the strangely powerful girl and not the other way around). Beautiful Creatures, however, stands out for a couple of reasons — those reasons being Viola Davis and Emma Thompson.

Sources have officially confirmed that "Jelena" is dunzo. And this time, the split is for good.
Following their breakup during a romantic New Year's getaway to Mexico, details have come out as to what drove Selena Gomez to finally call it quits with Justin Bieber.
According to Us Weekly, multiples source said that following the couples blow-out argument on December 30, "Selena won't forgive him."
"Selena is done with him," a friend of the actress told the mag.
Since the split, Bieber has been sulking while videos surfaced showing the teen heartthrob smoking what appears to be marijuana.
"He's been really down about the breakup," a source admitted to US Magazine.
The pal close to SelGo said her on-again, off-again boyfriend had become a "bad influence."
Last week, TMZ published incriminating photos of the Biebs holding what looks to be a blunt and smoking with a pal.
TMZ says that the Bieber's security team was told to "manage" that incident, which was meant to be private, but that apparently his security people slipped and the photos leaked online.

Chinese state media on Wednesday for the first time mentioned disgraced politician Bo Xilai in connection with one of the trials springing from the scandal that ended his once-bright career and shook Beijing's ruling elite.
In a lengthy description of a court case that ended Tuesday against Wang Lijun, Bo's former police chief and vice mayor in the southwestern city of Chongqing, the Xinhua news service wrote that Wang reportedly told Bo on Jan. 28 that his wife was "highly suspected" of being involved in the murder of a British businessman.
Referring to Bo not by name but to his position as the "then leading official of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Chongqing Committee," Xinhua said that on Jan. 29, "Wang Lijun was angrily rebuked and slapped in the face by the official" – Bo. Less than a week later, Wang was abruptly removed from his job as police chief.
The suggestion in Xinhua's report, apparently culled from courtroom proceedings and testimony entered by prosecutors, was clear: Bo is complicit in covering up his wife's crime.
Given the opaque nature of politics and the legal system in China, both of which the Communist Party controls, the truth of such assertions is not guaranteed. Bo was a controversial politician whose ambition, populist appeal and willingness to draw on Mao Zedong-era culture and symbols were controversial among some senior leaders.
The anecdote about the confrontation between Wang and Bo isn't new. It had been repeated in various forms to foreign journalists visiting Chongqing over the months.
But its appearance in state media suggests that party leaders are considering criminal charges against Bo, who to date has been named, in April, as being suspected only of "serious discipline violations."
A trial involving Bo, who's the son of a legendary Chinese Communist Party figure and once was seen as destined for a seat at the highest levels of power in China, would be a deeply sensitive affair.
A party congress later this year is expected to usher in a changeover in national leadership, a process that's thought to involve intense jockeying in a balance of factional interests that could be tipped by Bo being formally tried. National leaders are also no doubt concerned that delving into issues of abuse of power in Bo's case could raise questions about Chinese officials in general.
The report Wednesday raised further questions about whether investigators are looking at Bo by listing incidents that involved two longtime associates of his, though that relationship wasn't noted. Those incidents involved bribes from the Bo associates in 2008 and 2009 to Wang or his family. Wang later ordered people released from custody at the behest of the two men, Xinhua reported.
Xinhua also said that, "While being investigated, Wang produced important clues that exposed serious offenses committed by others. Such clues played a key role in the investigation of other cases."
But it remains far from clear whether Bo will ever appear in court, or instead be handled by internal Communist Party disciplinary measures.
Eight days after his alleged confrontation with Bo, Wang fled to the U.S. consulate in the city of Chengdu, where he stayed overnight and reportedly repeated the allegation that Bo's wife had killed a man. He surrendered to Chinese authorities the next day.
That set off the biggest political scandal in China in recent years and eventually resulted in Bo's wife, Gu Kailai, being sentenced last month to death, with a two-year reprieve that's likely to be converted into a lengthy prison sentence. Gu had been found guilty of poisoning British businessman Neil Heywood at a Chongqing hotel in November after a business deal gone bad and, allegedly, Heywood threatening her son.
Xinhua reported that after falling out with Bo, Wang ordered subordinates to "re-obtain testimonies from witnesses" and preserve evidence including secret recordings of Gu confessing to the crime and blood extracted from Heywood's heart.
In his final statement to the court, which is expected to return a sentence soon, Wang was quoted by Xinhua as confessing his guilt and saying, "I hope the trial will issue a warning to society and let more people draw lessons from me."
Xinhua also quoted him as saying: "For the party organizations, people and relatives that have cared for me, I want to say here, sincerely, 'I'm very, very sorry I've let you down.' "

Glossary of Energy Terms
Click on the alphabet letter you wish to go to.
Note: No entries for Y or Z.
Letter I
IMBALANCE ENERGY -- The real-time change in generation output or demand requested by the ISO to maintain reliability of the ISO-controlled grid. Sources of imbalance energy include regulation, spinning and non-spinning reserves, replacement reserve, and energy from other generating units that are able to respond to the ISO's request for more or less energy.
ILEV (Inherently Low Emission Vehicle) -- Term used by federal government for any vehicle that is certified to meet the California Air Resources Board's Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) standards for non-methane organic gases and carbon monoxide, ULEV standards for nitrogen oxides and does not emit any evaporative emissions.
IMPORTS (Electric utility) -- Power capacity or energy obtained by one utility from others under purchase or exchange agreement.
IMPOUNDMENT -- A body of water confined by a dam, dike, floodgate or other artificial barrier.
INCANDESCENT LAMP -- An electric lamp in which a filament is heated by an electric current until it emits visible light.
INDEPENDENT POWER PRODUCER -- An Independent Power Producer (IPP) generates power that is purchased by an electric utility at wholesale prices. The utility then resells this power to end-use customers. Although IPPs generate power, they are not franchised utilities, government agencies or QFs. IPPs usually do not own transmission lines to transmit the power that they generate.
INDIGENOUS ENERGY RESOURCES -- Power and heat derived from sources native to California. These include geothermal, hydro, biomass, solar and wind energy. The term usually is understood to include cogeneration facilities.
INDIRECTLY CONDITIONED SPACE -- See conditioned space, indirectly.
INFILTRATION -- The uncontrolled inward leakage of air through cracks and gaps in the building envelope, especially around windows, doors and duct systems.
INFILTRATION BARRIER -- A material placed on the outside or the inside of exterior wall framing to restrict inward air leakage, while permitting the outward escape of water vapor from the wall cavity. [See California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Section 2-5302]
INFRASTRUCTURE -- generally refers to the recharging and refueling network necessary to successful development, production, commercialization and operation of alternative fuel vehicles, including fuel supply, public and private recharging and refueling facilities, standard specifications for refueling outlets, customer service, education and training, and building code regulations.
INJECTION -- (Petroleum) -- Forcing gas or water into an oil well to increase pressure and cause more oil to come to the surface. See THERMALLY ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY.
IN-SITU COMBUSTION -- An experimental means of recovering hard-to-get petroleum by burning some of the oil in its natural underground reservoir. Also called FIREFLOODING.
IN-SITU GASIFICATION -- Converting coal into synthetic gas at the place where the coal is found in nature.
INSOLATION -- The total amount of solar radiation (direct, diffuse, and reflected) striking a surface exposed to the sky.
INSULATION, THERMAL -- A material having a relatively high resistance of heat flow and used principally to retard heat flow. See R-VALUE.
INTERCHANGE (Electric utility) -- The agreement among interconnected utilities under which they buy, sell and exchange power among themselves. This can, for example, provide for economy energy and emergency power supplies.
INTERCONNECTION (Electric utility) -- The linkage of transmission lines between two utilities, enabling power to be moved in either direction. Interconnections allow the utilities to help contain costs while enhancing system reliability.
INTERESTED PARTY -- any person whom the commission finds and acknowledges as having a real and direct interest in any proceeding or action carried on, under, or as a result of the operation of, this division.
INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE -- An engine in which fuel is burned inside the engine. A car's gasoline engine or rotary engine is an example of a internal combustion engine. It differs from engines having an external furnace, such as a steam engine.
INTERRUPTIBLE SERVICE (Electric utility) -- Electricity supplied under agreements that allow the supplier to curtail or stop service at times.
INTERTIE -- A transmission line that links two or more regional electric power systems.
INVESTOR-OWNED UTILITIES -- A private company that provides a utility, such as water, natural gas or electricity, to a specific service area. The investor-owned utility is regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission. In California the investor owned utilities supplying energy are:
- Canadian Pacific National Corporation
- Pacific Gas and Electric Company
- Pacific Power and Light Company
- San Diego Gas & Electric
- Sierra Pacific Power Company
- Southern California Edison Company
- Southern California Gas Company (The Gas Company)
- Southwest Gas Corporation
ION -- An atom or group of atoms that is electrically charged.
IOU -- An investor owned utility. A company, owned by stockholders for profit, that provides utility services. A designation used to differentiate a utility owned and operated for the benefit of shareholders from municipally owned and operated utilities and rural electric cooperatives.
INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLANNING(IRP) -- A public planning process and framework within which the costs and benefits of both demand- and supply-side resources are evaluated to develop the least-total-cost mix of utility resource options. In many states, IRP includes a means for considering environmental damages caused by electricity supply/transmission and identifying cost-effective energy efficiency and renewable energy alternatives. IRP has become a formal process prescribed by law in some states and under some provisions of the Clean Air Act amendments of 1992.
INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLANNING PRINCIPLES -- The underlying principles of IRP can be distinguished from the formal process of developing an approved utility resource plan for utility investments in supply- and demand-side resources. A primary principle is to provide a framework for comparing a variety of supply- and demand-side and transmission resource costs and attributes outside of the basic provision (or reduction) of electric capacity and energy. These resources may be owned or constructed by any entity and may be acquired through contracts as well as through direct investments. Another principle is the incorporation of risk and uncertainty into the planning analysis. The public participation aspects of IRP allow public and regulatory involvement in the planning rather than the siting stage of project development.
IPP -- INDEPENDENT POWER PRODUCER. An private entity that operates a generation facility and sells power to electric utilities for resale to retail customers.
ISDN -- INTEGRATED SERVICES DIGITAL NETWORK. A 128 Kbps(kilobytes per second) digital telephone service available in many parts of the country though not universally available that may be able to substitute for fiber optic cable in every respect except possibly television transmission.
ISO -- INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPERATOR. A neutral operator responsible for maintaining instantaneous balance of the grid system. The ISO performs its function by controlling the dispatch of flexible plants to ensure that loads match resources available to the system.

KABUL: Two days after masked men burst in to Bibi Shereen's house and took her son away, villagers found his corpse – half-eaten by dogs – under a bridge in Afghanistan's volatile Wardak province.
"His fingers were cut off, he was badly beaten. His hands were swollen, his throat was slit," she told Reuters in her small mudbrick house.
"Why is the government not listening to our voices – why are they not stopping Americans from doing such things."
Shereen supplied no proof that Americans or Afghan forces working with them tortured and killed her son. Reuters was unable to independently verify her claims.
Such allegations have prompted Afghan President Hamid Karzai to bar US special forces from Wardak province, a potentially risky move because it could give the Taliban more room to operate in a strategically important area close to the capital, Kabul.
The men who took Shereen's son had shone flashlights in her eyes and she could not identify them. But she said some spoke with southern Afghan accents, the same as those of the Afghans who work with US special forces in her region. Most Afghans see night raids as a tactic of US or US-led forces.
Karzai's decision to bar US special forces from Wardak could also complicate negotiations between the United States and Afghanistan over the presence of American troops once most NATO troops leave by the end of 2014.
Presidential spokesman Aimal Faizi told Reuters on Monday that there was evidence to back up the accusations of abuse.
"Our statements are based on documents and other evidence provided by provincial officials that say these operations are conducted by US special forces and some Afghan individuals working for them," Faizi said. He declined to elaborate.
A US defence official in Washington said a review in recent months in cooperation with Afghanistan's Defence Ministry and National Directorate of Security (NDS) intelligence agency found no involvement of Western forces in any abuse.
"No coalition forces have been involved in the alleged misconduct in Wardak province," said the official, who declined to be identified.
"ISAF and Afghanistan officials have agreed to a joint commission to look into the current concerns of citizens" in Wardak, he added, referring to NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).
US Secretary of State John Kerry also said on Monday the complaints against Afghans working for US special forces would be investigated.
Reuters interviewed dozens of residents of Wardak and Afghan government officials who allege that Afghan men working with a small unit of US special forces illegally detained, tortured and killed suspected insurgents. Wardak, just west of Kabul, is a gateway to the city.
In addition to claiming abuses, the Afghan government and military officials and Western officials said in extensive interviews that the allegations Of abuse had deepened mistrust between Karzai's administration and its American allies.
Karzai instructed presidential adviser and former member of parliament Shuja-ul-Mulk Jalala to travel to Wardak and report back to him on the abuse allegations.
Jalala said he was especially troubled by the fate of nine men who he believes, based on the testimony of people in the area, were detained by US special forces and Afghans identified as translators.
The men – including a shopkeeper, a teacher, a driver and a local government employee – were detained at a military outpost used by a small group of elite American special forces in Wardak, some of their relatives said.
"People complain of being beaten, tortured by US special forces on a daily basis," Jalala told Reuters in his Kabul office. He said while some accusations may be justified, others could be fabricated by villagers fearful of the Taliban.
Reuters spoke to the families of four of the nine missing men, and all said their men folk were taken to the special forces outpost by Afghan men identified as translators, often in the presence of US soldiers.
"My brother, Aziz-ul Rahman, was on his way to bring firewood to the mosque, when the Americans and Afghans forced him to stop, dragged him out of his car and started beating and kicking him," Zabihullah, 22, from Nerkh village, told Reuters.
"Eventually they tossed him in an irrigation ditch near the village. He was badly injured, so we took him to the hospital and later to Kabul, but despite that he died," said Zabihullah, who said his brother had three children.
"The local government know that these bastards, these Afghans and Americans, torture, beat and arrest people all the time but they do nothing."
Other villagers who spoke to Reuters have said the "Afghan translators" spoke a mix of a foreign language, that they believed was English, and Pashto and variously wore traditional outfits or Afghan army and US military uniforms.
"They carry big guns and drive quad bikes," said Nehmatullah, 24, from Deh Afghanan village close to the provincial capital of Maidan Shah.
It is uncommon for ISAF's Afghan translators to carry weapons, and when they do it is typically a sidearm for self-defence. Afghan translators working with coalition forces are also forbidden from wearing Afghan army uniforms.
"They come in the villages at all times of day and night and there are often two, three or four foreigners with them," Nehmatullah said.
Ashuqullah, 18, said he was detained along with his cousin, Mehrabuddin, by the same special forces group of Americans and Afghans.
"I was released but they kept Mehrabuddin. On the way to the base an Afghan man – maybe the Americans' translator – was slapping Mehrabuddin in his face and was telling him that he would never see the light again."
Mehrabuddin has been missing since then, his cousin said.
Some of the villagers who have experienced what they allege are the abuses of the Americans and Afghans, have since travelled to Kabul to complain directly to parliament.
Those complaints have been passed on to the Presidential Palace and some have reached Karzai, a palace official said.
A coalition staff officer familiar with the situation in Nerkh told Reuters that four of the nine missing men had been detained by Afghan and coalition personnel.
"Through various intelligence methods, these four had been positively identified as either active members or associated supporters of insurgent or criminal networks."
Coalition forces had no information regarding the other five men, and had "no record of any contact with them", the staff officer said.
Not all of the abuse is alleged to have taken place at the US special forces outpost.
Other allegations – these from Afghan authorities – focus on a grainy mobile phone video that people who have seen it say shows an Afghan man, identified by the government – without providing substantiation – as a man called Zakeria Kandahari.
ISAF and Afghan government officials said Kandahari previously worked with US special forces in Herat and Kandahar provinces.
In the video, Kandahari is seen wearing a US military uniform and repeatedly kicking an Afghan man.
A Western military official said the beating occurred at the offices of the country's NDS intelligence agency in Wardak's Nerkh district, not far from the special forces outpost.
The video was described to Reuters by Afghanistan's most senior general, army chief of staff Sher Mohammad Karimi, during an interview.
"There was a clip in which he was beating some civilian, he was in uniform and he was speaking Pashto," Karimi said.
"There was a guy, you can't see him, but he is speaking in good English, that clearly shows that someone was there from the international forces."
He said the English voice sounded to be that of a native speaker, most likely that of a North American.
The video quickly came to the attention of Defence Minister Bismillah Khan Mohammadi, who sought an explanation from the head of foreign special forces in Afghanistan, US Major General Raymond "Tony" Thomas.
In a statement to Reuters, ISAF said a review of the video determined that no coalition forces were present or involved in the incident.
The Ministry of Defence said it established that the Afghan man in the video was Kandahari and the Afghan government demanded that he been handed over.
Reuters has established through reliable sources that Kandahari was at the Nerkh special forces outpost when this request was made, but he later left. Reuters has been unable to locate Kandahari or to independently determine his role in any human rights abuses.
His departure from the outpost led to suspicion within the highest levels of the Afghan government that Kandahari was allowed to escape by his American special forces handlers, though they have no evidence to back up their suspicion.
ISAF special forces command declined to comment on whether Kandahari worked for them in Wardak.
When Mohammadi and the Presidential Palace were told that Kandahari had escaped, they were furious, a source in the palace said. That incident has led to Karzai's decision to demand that US special forces leave Wardak within a fortnight. – Reuters

WRFY 9102.5 FM) will be the MC's for the parade this year. They, along with the judges, will be located at the front side of the Friendship Hook and Ladder Fire Company on Third and Warwick Streets.
Prize money totaling more than $,2,230 and trophies will be awarded in the following categories: Float (any size), Drill and Baton Unit, Best Scouting Unit, Costumed Group (2 or more), Individual and Most Original. Each category will be awarded a first, second, third, and fourth prize, all youngsters who participate win the parade (groups and individuals) will receive treat bags with candy and coupons from local businesses.
Businesses may compete in the Commercial category. A large trophy will be awarded to the winner under the Commercial category. Businesses, however, may still advertise their business in the parade without being judged. A small donation is required for any business advertising in the parade.
Individual walkers are to register at the first division which is located at the Federal-Mogul parking lot on the night of the parade. An area at the lower end of the parking lot will be designated for walkers. Individual walkers need not pre-register.
This year's parade route will remain the same. The route will begin at Second and Madison Streets, north to Philadelphia Avenue to south on Reading Avenue, east on Third, south on Monroe Street and east on Second Street.
To help alleviate the congestion before the parade at Second and Madison Streets, the Boyertown Jaycees are asking that the following entrances be used by parade participants to reach their formation areas: Division #1 and individual walkers--come in on Route 562, Reading Avenue, turn onto Second Street (turn right if coming into Boyertown, turn left is heading out of Boyertown). Division #2--come in on route 100, turn onto Jackson Road (turn right is coming from Boyertown, turn left if coming from Pottstown), left onto Sweinhart Road, right onto Mill Street, right onto Englesville Road and right onto Madison Street. Division #3 — come in on Route 100, turn onto Jackson Road, (turn right if coming from Boyertown; turn left if coming from Pottstown), right onto Sweinhart Road, left onto Second Street.
Vendor spots are still available for any vendors, local organizations, clubs, etc. who would like to sell food and/or novelties along the parade route.
Should the parade need to the cancelled and rescheduled for the rain date, an announcement will be made by WRFY (102.5 FM).
Any business or individual who would like to donate to the parade can write to The Boyertown Jaycees 105 Miller Road Bechtelsville, Pa. 19505.
For parade information and registration, call 610-310-8497; registration deadline is Friday, Oct. 11.
Due to safety concerns related to parking, traffic and pedestrian traffic, parade spectators are advised to refrain from placing blankets, chairs or other items on the sidewalk along the parade route 24 hours before the event. Any items placed on the sidewalk before Friday at 7 p.m. will be removed and disposed on for the Borough of Boyertown.
Residents and guests are asked to observe the parking restrictions in effect on the parade route until 2 a.m. This will help the Borough's street screw complete a thorough clean up, including sweeping along the curbs.
The Boyertown Jaycees extend precaution to spectators who donate along the parade route. Problems have arisen over the years from other groups and organizations not associated with the Boyertown Jaycees to keep the parade route to give only the Boyertown Jaycees. Anyone other than the Boyertown Jaycees soliciting for donations along the parade route is not associated with the Boyertown Jaycees and they do not have a permit to do so.
Boy Scout Troop 36, St. Luke Lutheran Church, Gilbertsville, needs help as they help The Boyertown Area Multi-Service restock their food pantry for the upcoming holidays. It's easy to do, just purchase one item from the list below and bring it to the parade on Oct. 19.
The Scouts will collect these items from you as they travel the parade route and deliver the goods to the Multi-Service pantry. There will also be a drop off area for items at the parade registration table.
The food pantry supplies food to many of our friends and neighbors in need without our community. The rising cost of food and the expanding list of people requesting service is challenging their resources however, with the community's help, the Scouts can help the Boyertown area community.
As Boy Scouts, their motto is "To do a good turn daily!" to do something because it is the right thing to do. And so the youth and adult members of Troop 36 are asking you to do you "good turn" to help the community.
canned vegetables and fruits, canned soups, peanutbutter and jelly, instant potatoes, canned meats, condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo) juice, personal care items, hamburger helper, cake and brownie mixes, pasta sauce, and pancake mix/syrup.

Young humpback has whale of a time
A PLAYFUL young whale has delighted spectators by performing aerial stunts off Fraser Island.
The calf was captured on camera getting airborne by the crew of the Pacific Whale Foundation about 12.50pm on Sunday.
This incredible sight is exactly why Hervey Bay is known as the whale-watching capital of Australia, according to Andrew Ellis, national operations manager of the Pacific Whale Foundation.
"Any time you see a humpback whale, it's fantastic ," he said.
"(But) it's very rare you get the entire body out of the water like that."
Lucky whale-watchers couldn't peel their eyes away from the calf as it continued to leap from the water on the western side of the island for about half an hour.
Mr Ellis said the baby was learning how to breach by imitating the behaviour of its mother.
He said there were many theories as to why whales breached, including to better see where they were going, to rid their bodies of parasites or to interact with other whales.
The whale-watching season is mid-way through, with many mothers and calves now being spotted in Hervey Bay waters.
Mr Ellis encouraged all locals to get out and experience this world-class phenomenon that takes place right on our doorstep.

Try removing the suffix. For example LM317 rather than LM317DCY, or IDT72V36110L7 rather than IDT72V36110L7-5PFG.
Do NOT include a space in the part number. For example search TDA2050 rather than TDA 2050.
Getting too many irrelevant results? Add the manufacturer name to your search terms. For example "texas instruments MAX232" instead of MAX232.
Wildcards are automatic in most searches. SN*LS04 would return SN54LS04 and SN74LS04 in fulltext results.
Some part numbers begin with µ (For example NEC Electronics µPD Series). Try µPD, PD, and uPD.
Search only a single part number. BC109 instead of BC108/BC109.
Make sure you have entered the correct prefix. For example Japanese transistors often omit the leading "2S" (C1384 being 2SC1384, A1015 being 2SA1015).
Try equivalent parameters. For example 100 Volts or 100V. A capacitor example 1uF, 1000nF, or 1000000pF.
Parts with many different parameters (such as crystals, or capacitors) often do not have individual datasheets. They have part numbering guides. For example a philips capacitor 222231190112 may be found by searching for "2222 capacitor philips" or "2222 capacitors philips guide".

Yesterday the wonderful Johnny Holland Magazine published my essay, See For Yourself: About the Power of Observing.
The article, or more accurately, rant, is all about how imperative it is for user experience designers to actively observe the world around us on a regular basis. Re-reading it now, it feels quite different than most of my other writing for publications. It's much more prescriptive than normal — I'm always emphatic, but this is borderline demanding. It just sort of flowed out of me, without me ever previously realizing how passionate I am about the subject.
In a few recent occurrences with clients, I have come to realize that one of the most valuable things I bring to the table is being a sort of anthropologist, a student of humankind. And I really want to encourage other UXers to view themselves the same way. Hopefully I've planned a seed.
Read the full article
Johnny Holland is an online magazine on interaction design run by Jeroen van Geel, Steve Baty, and Vicky Teinaki, with contributors from around the globe. I feel very fortunate to now be among them.
Thank you to Jeroen for helping me shape this piece, and for encouraging me to making it something that people will remember.
Please let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Dr. Tara Riddell has never seen anything like it.
"Most years we see a handful of suspected cases, but this year it just keeps coming and coming," said the veterinarian at Dartmouth's Metro Animal Emergency Clinic.
They have seen 26 confirmed cases of leptospirosis in dogs since July.
Riddell cautioned that the real number could be much higher, as some people opt not to have their pets tested due to cost and there is a large population of sick animals they never get to see.
"There's been a really severe and significant rise in this infectious disease," said Riddell.
Leptospirosis comes from a bacteria that lives in host species such as rats and raccoons. Those animals don't get sick. Cats can also be carriers, but rarely show symptoms.
Dogs, however, can get very sick from it.
The bacteria attacks their kidneys, liver and lungs. About a quarter of the cases Riddell has seen this year have ended up being fatal.
Symptoms include vomiting, lethargy, increased drinking and peeing, diarrhea and jaundice.
Humans can get it, too.

"I think there probably isn't a high risk of that happening, but the risk is there," said Riddell. "And it is a severe disease."
Riddell has been in contact with public health and at this point there are no known cases of transmission to humans. She's telling dog owners to speak to their vets about vaccination for the disease.
The vaccines available only protect dogs from four varieties of leptospirosis. One of the dogs that died in Riddell's care this summer was already vaccinated.
The disease is spread through drinking or playing in stagnant water.
"When the weather changes the spread of the disease should abate," said Riddell.

OP/ED: Rosenberg: Senator Pruitt has made significant contribution to our advance research initiatives in the SUS.
St. Petersburg Times Opinion Editorial, April 15, 2008
Pruitt not to blame
All of us share the frustration at not having adequate funding for our university system or for that matter other very important state programs.
Senate President Ken Pruitt must not be blamed for our funding difficulties. They can be traced to a range of decisions that precede the senator's term of office. In fact Sen. Pruitt has made a significant and sustained contribution to our advanced research initiatives in the state university system and has almost single-handedly found funding for Centers of Excellence, research commercialization and other 21st century programs to advance knowledge.
For that we should be grateful.
Mark B. Rosenberg, chancellor, State University System of Florida, Tallahassee
