Hawaii recently topped the national rankings for energy saving initiatives for the second year in a row. In August, the Energy Services Coalition (ESC) granted the state its 'Race to the Top' award for modeling excellence in energy and water efficiency. ESC's Race to the Top challenge ranks states based on investment per capita in energy savings performance contracting. Hawaii leads with $132.25 per capita, followed by Ohio with $108.58 and Kansas with $97.77. The national average hangs at a low $37.20.
Hawaii sets a strong example for outstanding, innovative energy savings performance contracting. Performance contracts are commonly used for public-sector buildings, especially schools, which often cannot afford the upfront costs attributed to energy and water efficiency upgrades. Under many performance contracts, contractors pay the upfront costs and even guarantee net energy savings for the building owner. The contractor then recoups the investment through a portion of the resulting energy savings. This payment structure enables school districts and other public-sector entities to upgrade existing buildings with improved energy efficiency and without the worry of high upfront costs. To see why upgrades are so important for school buildings, see my other blog post here.
This Race to the Top award is similar to the campaign currently being debated in the U.S. Senate in that it challenges states to strive for energy efficiency gains. Additionally, the national Race to the Top legislation under consideration would award competitive grants to states for state policy and program innovations aimed at increasing efficiency into the future; ESC's Race to the Top simply recognizes the efforts states have already realized through their own ingenuity and drive for a clean energy economy.
According to Governor Neil Abercrombie, Hawaii's clean energy efforts will cut costs at state facilities and create several thousand jobs. And the Aloha State shows no signs of slowing down – a funding agency for renewable energy start-ups in Hawaii, the Energy Excelerator, just received $30 million from the U.S. Navy for inventive projects such as an experimental renewable energy microgrid project, a grid-connected wave power system and a rainwater harvesting system.
Hawaii is a sunny and windy state with high energy costs, which makes it a desirable market for clean technology. The U.S. Navy's Pearl Harbor installation is a prime example of the state's rapid transition to renewable energy. The Navy installed solar panels on five rooftops at the base, which harvest enough solar energy to power 440 homes. Hawaii is also home to the nation's first grid-connected wave energy system. With the rise and fall of the waves in Kaneohe Bay, the Marine Corps Base is drawing electrical power from the ocean – think of this as 'blue' energy. Other innovative projects include sea water air conditioning, which uses cold water from the ocean to help cool several buildings across the islands, including the University of Hawaii medical school and (soon to be) forty buildings in downtown Honolulu.
In May, Hawaii passed Senate Bill 1087, which allows the state to create and issue a Green Energy Market Securitization (GEMS). This will provide low-cost financing for a variety of clean energy projects and be one of the primary lenders under an on-bill repayment (OBR) program currently under development. This program covers a wide range of property types and caters to both residential and commercial customers by financing energy efficiency and renewable energy projects through cost-saving financing from private sector investors as well as GEMS. The investments are repaid through customers' utility bills and financed at no additional cost to ratepayers. EDF is proud to work with the Hawaiian Electric Company, the Hawaiian Public Utilities Commission, Sierra Club, Earthjustice, Blue Planet and other stakeholders to rollout the OBR program by early 2014.
Frankly, Hawaii's progress is leaving other states in the dust.
Hawaii is saving $14.2 million and 60.9 million kilowatt hours per year through performance contracting, according to state official Richard Lim. This success goes to show that clean energy delivers quite the bang for your buck.

Dr. Ted J. Alexander, president of Pearl River Community College from 1986 to 2000, died Wednesday, July 2, in Hattiesburg. He was 78.
Alexander served as PRCC president during a time of tremendous growth in students, course offerings and physical facilities, including the Allied Health Center and its programs at the Forrest County Center.
"Ted Alexander was an innovative, creative and progressive educational leader," said Dr. William Lewis, PRCC president. "His vision for Pearl River Community College was reflected in the many transformations that took place at the institution during his tenure.
"The numerous allied health programs that the college opened during Dr. Alexander's presidency serve as a tribute to his legacy. These programs have developed thousands of health care professionals who now provide a variety of health services for the citizens of South Mississippi. It goes without saying that Ted Alexander's vision and leadership have made a difference for our people."
The campuses in Poplarville and the Forrest County Center, in large part, took on their current shapes during Alexander's administration.
"He was a very focused individual that had specific goals that he worked very hard to attain," said Miller Hammill, who served as dean of student affairs under Alexander. "He brought a lot of positive things to Pearl River as far as improving the education programs and the facilities while he was president. He worked very hard to attain these goals that he set for the college and for himself."
In addition to expansion at the Forrest County Center, Alexander spearheaded construction of a $3.6 million Nursing Building and the adjacent Wellness Center on the Poplarville campus.
"He was determined to get those programs going in Hattiesburg," Hammill said. "Another thing was the Wellness Center. A lot of people had real reservations about that and now almost every college has one."
The administration building on the Poplarville campus bears Alexander's name as does the Ted J. Alexander Leadership Scholarship. The scholarship was established by friends of Alexander in lieu of retirement gifts and is administered by the PRCC Development Foundation established during Alexander's tenure.
Following his retirement from Pearl River, Alexander was named chief executive officer of the Lower Pearl River Valley Foundation. Martin T. Smith of Poplarville, attorney for the PRCC board of trustees, serves on the foundation's board and was also the college's attorney during Alexander's administration.
"He was a visionary if there ever was one," Smith said. "He continued to be very much involved in the life of Pearl River Community College and through his work with the Lower Pearl River Valley Foundation, he was aware of many projects that meant so much to the betterment of the recipients of those grants."
The foundation was established to administer the majority of the proceeds from the sale of Crosby Memorial Hospital and concentrates its efforts on educational and health-related projects. Many of those projects were funded in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Poplarville.
"We worked closely together on a number of projects and I saw first hand the passion that Dr. Alexander had for the welfare of children," said Archie Rawls, former Rotary Club president. "Through his leadership at the LPRVF, countless children in South Mississippi have benefitted from projects such as the Safe Harbor after-school programs following Hurricane Katrina, vision and hearing screenings in the schools, cultural and educational programs and numerous classroom enhancement grants. His leadership and advocacy in these efforts will be greatly missed."
Rawls, chairman of the PRCC Department of Fine Arts and Communication, was director of bands during Alexander's tenure as president.
"Dr. Alexander faced some very difficult decisions concerning the future of PRCC during his tenure but his determined and focused leadership ultimately resulted in a stronger institution with a better clarity of mission and goals," Rawls said.
Alexander came to PRCC after 10 years as superintendent of the McComb Municipal Separate School District. During his 46-year career in education, Alexander also served as superintendent of schools in Newton, high school principal in Pascagoula and Franklin County, guidance counselor in Franklin County and in Meadville as biology and physical science teacher, football, basketball and baseball coach.
He was a member and past officer of numerous professional organizations.
He graduated from Central High School in Jackson and received a B.A. degree from Millsaps College. Alexander earned the Master of Education degrees in educational administration and guidance from Mississippi College and the Doctor of Education degree in educational administration from the University of Southern Mississippi.
Funeral arrangements will be announced by Moore Funeral Home in Hattiesburg.
He is survived by his wife, Barbara Alexander of Hattiesburg; two sons, Brent Alexander and his wife, Jane, of Jackson; and Bryan Alexander of Biloxi; and twin granddaughters, Emily Clare and Elizabeth Chandler Alexander of Jackson.
Dr. Ted J. Alexander

Personality Disorders: An Overview
Personality disorders are chronic mental illnesses that can range from mildly unsettling to severe. They arise from a person's home environment, as well as from genetic and chemical causes. Treatment options include psychotherapy (counseling), medicines, and self-help approaches. Some people may need the personalized attention that only hospitalization can provide.
A personality disorder must fulfill several criteria. They cannot be diagnosed just on the basis of one characteristic. People with personality disorders have an inflexible pattern of understanding people, thinking, and behaving that makes it difficult to adjust to their environment. This is serious enough to affect their functioning. But, in some cases, people with personality disorders may not think they have a problem or may not want to change. Personality disorders are usually recognizable by adolescence and continue throughout adulthood, and they become less obvious throughout middle age.
The following information is an overview of ten clinically diagnosed personality disorders and their symptoms.

Princeton researchers have invented an extremely sensitive sensor that opens up new ways to detect a wide range of substances, from biological markers of cancer to hidden explosives.
The sensor, which is the most sensitive of its kind to date and easy to produce, relies on a completely new architecture and fabrication technique developed by the Princeton researchers. The device boosts faint signals generated by the scattering of laser light from a material placed on the sensor, allowing the identification of various substances based on the color of light they reflect. The sample could be as small as a single molecule.
The technology is a major advance in a decades-long search to identify materials using Raman scattering, a phenomenon discovered in the 1920s by Indian physicist Chandrasekhara Raman, in which light reflecting off an object carries a signature of its molecular composition and structure.
"Raman scattering has enormous potential in biological and chemical sensing, and could have many applications in industry, medicine, the military and other fields," said Stephen Chou, the professor of electrical engineering who led the research team. "But current Raman sensors are so weak that their use has been very limited outside of research. We've developed a way to significantly enhance the signal over the entire sensor and that could change the landscape of how Raman scattering can be used."
Chou and his collaborators -- Wen-Di Li, who earned his Ph.D. in 2010; electrical engineering graduate student Fei Ding; and postdoctoral fellow Jonathan Hu -- published a paper on their innovation in February in the journal Optics Express. The research was funded by the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency.
In Raman scattering, a beam of pure one-color light is focused on a target, but the reflected light from the object contains two extra colors of light. The frequencies of these extra colors are unique to the molecular make-up of the substance, providing a potentially powerful method to determine the identity of the substance, analogous to the way a fingerprint or DNA signature helps identify a person.
Since Raman first discovered the phenomenon -- a breakthrough that earned him a Nobel Prize -- engineers have dreamed of using it in everyday devices to identify the molecular composition and structures of substances, but for many materials the strength of the extra colors of reflected light was too weak to be seen even with the most sophisticated laboratory equipment.
Researchers discovered in the 1970s that the Raman signals were much stronger if the substance to be identified is placed on a rough metal surface or tiny particles of gold or silver. The technique, known as surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), showed great promise, but even after four decades of research has proven difficult to put to practical use. The strong signals appeared only at a few random points on the sensor surface, making it difficult to predict where to measure the signal and resulting in a weak overall signal for such a sensor.
Abandoning the previous methods for designing and manufacturing the sensors, Chou and his colleagues developed a completely new SERS architecture: a chip studded with uniform rows of tiny pillars made of metals and insulators.
One secret of the Chou team's design is that their pillar arrays are fundamentally different from those explored by other researchers. Their structure has two key components: a cavity formed by metal pieces on the top and at the base of each pillar, which reflect the light back and forth between them like two mirrors; and metal particles of about 20 nanometers in diameter, known as plasmonic nanodots, on the pillar wall, with small gaps of about 2 nanometers between the metal components.
The small particles and gaps significantly boost the Raman signal. The cavities serve as antennae, trapping light from the laser so it passes the plasmonic nanodots multiple times to generate the Raman signal rather than only once. The cavities also enhance the outgoing Raman signal.
Chou's team named its new sensor "disk-coupled dots-on-pillar antenna-array" or D2PA, for short.
So far, the chip is a billion times more sensitive than was possible without SERS boosting of Raman signals and several orders of magnitude more sensitive than other SERS sensors. It also has uniform sensitivity – a key attribute in many applications, further broadening the sensor's usefulness.
Already, researchers at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory are experimenting with a less sensitive chip based on this new technique pioneered at Princeton to explore whether the military could use this technology for detecting chemicals, biological agents and explosives.
The devices also could be used in medical testing to diagnose diseases. As one example, Chou envisions that tiny sensors injected into a patient's bloodstream could beam light signals to receivers outside the patient's body. The signals would alert doctors to the presence of biological markers such as those produced by cancers, avoiding the need for invasive diagnostic surgeries.
In addition to being far more sensitive than its predecessors, the Princeton chip can be manufactured inexpensively at large sizes and in large quantities. This is due to the easy-to-build nature of the sensor and a new combination of two powerful nanofabrication technologies: nanoimprint, a method that allows tiny structures to be produced in cookie-cutter fashion; and self-assembly, a technique in which tiny particles form on their own. Chou's team has produced these sensors on 4-inch wafers (the basis of electronic chips) and can scale the fabrication to much larger wafer size.
"This is a very powerful method to identify molecules," said Chou, who is Princeton's Joseph C. Elgin Professor of Engineering. "The combination of a sensor that enhances signals far beyond what was previously possible, that's uniform in its sensitivity and that's easy to mass produce could change the landscape of sensor technology and what's possible with sensing."

Sarah is most thankful to her parents for the gift of two loving big brothers & five amazing role-model sisters. As the second-youngest, Sarah spent her childhood twirling & dancing around, putting on talent shows for her parents & grandparents. Her creative spirit and eye for design was established at a young age, as she highly disapproved of Mattel's © furnishings and décor within her Barbie House. If Barbie needed an interior makeover (which was frequent) Sarah looked through Sunday newspaper ads & IKEA magazines for inspiration, drew the new contents by hand and placed them as backdrops in the Barbie house. After graduation from Mater Dei High School, Sarah explored the metropolitan life in San Francisco and graduated with a BS in Interior Design from San Francisco State University. Sarah is adding to her vows that she will forever allow a one-room "man-den" with it's contents and décor subject to Bradley's discretion.
Born in Mission Viejo, California, Bradley spent half of his life living with his mother in San Diego and half with his wonderful Wisconsin family. Bradley grew up playing ice hockey while secretly learning how to build computers. Half jock, half nerd, he has cultivated these interests well into his adult life, that make him who he is today. After his graduation from the University of San Francisco with a degree in Information Systems, Bradley worked for Yahoo! for seven years, and continued to explore the tech startup scene in San Francisco. With an entrepreneurial spirit and passion for technology, Bradley now runs his own software company, Scal.io, building hand-crafted mobile, web, and desktop apps for tech companies in the Silicon Valley and beyond. Bradley is adding to his vows a lifetime IT guarantee to Sarah, that he will be readily available 24/7 to troubleshoot... anything & everything technical.
In 2010 the two were both wild and running free around San Francisco's Marina District, as most singles do. Bradley was quite the bachelor- planning weekend getaways with friends, float trips, and taking last minute trips to Ibiza, Cabo, wherever the wind blew. Sarah was quite the bachelorette, wining and dining around San Francisco, on a strict agenda which included over-extending herself, saying yes to every social engagement that came her way. After a mutual friend of the two suggested they would make a cute couple, a date was on the books and they began to discover just how compatible they were. In no time, they also discovered they were inseparable and very in love. The rest is history- they've shared some amazing adventures around the world, each other's toothbrushes, and now they're ready to share the rest of their lives together, too.
Down in San Diego for a weekend to visit Bradley's mom, the pair decided to spend the beautiful morning at Balboa Park. After returning to their hotel, Bradley asked Sarah to run up to their room for a bottle of wine that had been chilling. Bradley said he was going to ask concierge for a "wine opener" and that he'd meet her in the courtyard. As Sarah opened the door to the room, she "freaked out", thinking she was in the wrong room. It was decorated with bouquets of her favorite flowers, decadent treats and champagne. Rose petals on the floor led her to the open balcony, and as she walked out she saw Bradley waiting for her down below, with a huge grin on his face. And like out of a fairy tale, Romeo asked Juliet to be his wife. She giggled, and said yes. Bradley had it all captured by a hidden, sniper-style photographer.

Choose to relax and soak up the California sunshine at the resort's pool, or meander across the street to explore the boutiques, jewelry stores, restaurants and antique shops at The Village of Rancho Santa Fe (fondly referred to as "The Village" by the residents). A friday morning tee time will be arranged for those who are interested, at Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club- a private, 18-hole championship golf course considered one of the Top 20 Best Golf Courses in California.
Ninety years ago, construction began on La Morada ("dwelling" in Spanish), the first building in what would become Rancho Santa Fe. Now known as The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, "The Inn" to locals, it was then a guesthouse for prospective land buyers, a place to "put them up" while they looked at lots owned by the Santa Fe Land Improvement Company. The company, a subsidiary of the Santa Fe Railway, had bought up parcels, planting eucalyptus trees for railroad spikes. But as history has so often shown, not everything goes according to plan. The wood, the company discovered, was too soft to hold the spikes. It was on to plan B.
That plan turned out to be fortuitous. It led to the master-planned community of Rancho Santa Fe, designed by Lilian Rice, a National City-born architect and U.C. Berkeley graduate, who would earn acclaim for her signature Spanish Colonial Revival style. Rice designed the village's key commercial and residential buildings, many now considered so historically significant that they are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Throughout the decades The Inn has been a favorite destination for many years of famous and influential people. In 1932, singer-actor Bing Crosby purchased one of Juan Osuna's original adobes with 50 acres, and hired Lilian Rice as his architect. Legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright was married in the parlor of the Inn in 1928.
Just as the architecture of the missions tells a story about the history of California, so does Lilian Rice's legendary design of The Inn. It is a perfect representation of old California charm and Rice's belief that true beauty lies in simplicity rather than ornateness. The Inn is a perfect reflection of Rice's dream - a place where time stands still amidst the simplistic, natural beauty that is Rancho Santa Fe. Go here and here for more information.
Due to the nature of city life (not a great deal of storage space), we have decided to embrace the HONEYMOON REGISTRY site. However, if your prefer the traditional route, we are registered at Williams Sonoma, Sur La Table, & Macy's. A link for the registry sites will be coming soon!

Battery Replacement
The Basics Behind Battery Replacement Services at Greulich's Automotive Repair
Car batteries are fundamental parts of both the charging and starting systems. Within the starting system, the role of the battery is to send a current of electricity to the starter so that the vehicle is able to start and run. In addition, the battery is responsible for supplying electricity to other electrical components, such as the radio and the internal and external lights when the demand exceeds the supply of the alternator or when the vehicle is off. Most vehicles use one battery, but vehicles with diesel engines, electric vehicles, or vehicles that run a 24-volt system may require two or more batteries to power their engines and electric systems. Currently, the SLI battery is a popular type of battery used in many vehicles. The letters, which stand for starting, lighting, and ignition, indicate the battery's major functions. Overall, an automotive battery is an essential component in vehicles. Without a working battery, an engine will not start. As such, it is important for a driver to keep watch over battery life.

Clutch Replacement
The Basics Behind Clutch Replacement Services at Greulich's Automotive Repair
When a vehicle is running, the engine is always turning. The transmission connects to the engine and supplies power to the wheels, but this linkage cannot be constant, since a vehicle is not always moving. In a manual transmission, the clutch is used to engage and disengage the transmission and the engine. The clutch operates two shafts: one shaft connects to the transmission and the other connects to the engine. Clutches use friction to keep the transmission connected to the engine. When the clutch is disengaged, the pressure plate pulls away from the flywheel and separates the transmission from the engine. When the clutch is engaged, a pressure plate pushes against a flywheel and joins the transmission to the engine. In a manual transmission, a clutch allows your engine to continue spinning even when the vehicle is stopped. Switching between gears in a vehicle with a manual transmission is made possible by operating the clutch.
Why Should You Have Clutch Replacement Services Performed at Greulich's Automotive Repair?
Each time you press down on the clutch, the pressure plate pushes against a flywheel, joins the transmission to the engine, and enables gears to be changed. Over time, the friction accompanying this repetitive action will wear down the clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, and accompanying gears and bearings. Owners of vehicles with manual transmissions should always use their clutch with care and keep up with clutch maintenance. A clutch check can help extend the life of your clutch. If your vehicle's clutch ever fails, the transmission will not be able to transfer power from the engine to the wheels. If you still experience grinding and rumbling noises after components have been replaced and a clutch adjustment has been made, a clutch replacement will be required to restore full operation to your transmission and your vehicle.

Mr. Speaker, last week, the district court in the Czech town of Ostrava reached a very important decision. The court concluded that, in 2001 after the birth of her second child, a local Romani woman was sterilized without informed consent. In fact, since last year, the Czech Ombudsman has been examining dozens of similar cases. Although he has not yet issued any public findings, it is expected that the Ombudsman will confirm that many other Romani women experienced similar violations of their rights, as documented by several Czech human rights groups and the European Roma Rights Center.
Sadly, the issue of sterilizations without informed consent is not new in this region. As early as 1977, the dissident group Charter 77 reported on systematic efforts to target Romani women in Czechoslovakia for coerced sterilization. While the vast majority of sterilizations in the Czech Republic and Slovakia since 1989 were performed with informed consent, the Ostrava case demonstrates that the practice of performing sterilizations without informed consent did not completely end with the fall of the communist regime.
That precedent-setting court decision sheds light on a number of legal points in one specific case. At the same time, there are many larger questions still at issue, including whether racism against Roma contributed to the abuse. Frankly, given the large percentage of Roma among the victims of sterilization without informed consent compared with the small percentage of the Czech population that Roma constitute, it is hard for me to believe that race did not play some role. There are, of course, other possible factors to consider: what role did a poor quality of medical care or training play in these cases of medical malpractice? Did a lack of respect for an individual's liberty–a hold-over mentality from the totalitarian period–also contribute to the abuse?
I welcome the Ostrava court's decision and commend the plaintiff in that case, Helena Ferencikova, for her courage in bringing it forward. I have also been heartened by the apparent seriousness of the Ombudsman's investigation into this difficult and sensitive matter.
Unfortunately, similar issues in neighboring Slovakia continue to be met with government denials and stonewalling.
In 2003, the Slovak Government concluded a year-long investigation into allegations that some Romani women were sterilized without informed consent, even after the fall of communism. That investigation was deeply flawed. At one point, for example, a spokesperson for the Minister for Human Rights threatened that anyone bringing forward allegations of sterilization without informed consent would go to jail, one way or another. This is not the way to foster confidence in an investigation or to encourage victims to speak out.
Significantly, the Czech investigation and the Slovak investigation both revolved around the same 1992 Czechoslovak law on sterilizations, put in place before the two countries split apart. Czech authorities have understood that law as requiring that sterilizations had to be requested by the person who was going to be sterilized, that there had to be evidence of consent by that person, and that consent had to be meaningfully informed. Being "informed" means, for example, that the expectant mother must be told why the procedure is necessary. If someone was given false information about the procedure, which was the case in many instances, then she was not meaningfully "informed."
When interpreting the same law, however, Slovak authorities maintained that consent did not have to be "informed." Accordingly, Slovak investigators examined numerous cases where there was no informed consent but still concluded there was no violation of the 1992 law because, according to their twisted logic, consent didn't have to be informed!
In reality, the Slovak Government seemed to organize its investigation into the sterilization cases in a way that was designed to cover up the magnitude of the problem. The Slovak Government's investigation revealed seven cases of Romani minors who were sterilized in violation of the then-existing Slovak law. In reality, the Slovak Government's interpretation of the concept of "consent" could not be reconciled with modern health norms and had to be changed to explicitly require that consent is informed. (The new law went into effect at the beginning of this year.) In reality, numerous international officials have repeatedly expressed concern over the sterilization practices in the Slovak Republic and the inadequacy of the Slovak Government's response to them, including in the April 2005 report on the situation of Roma issued by the Council of Europe's Human Rights Commissioner.
In light of all this, it is extremely frustrating to read that Slovak officials have, in recent months, made misleading statements about this important issue. Apparently one official has even declared that "illegal sterilizations of Romani women never happened in Slovakia."
Mr. Speaker, when the institutions of justice are perceived to follow one set of rules for the majority and another for minorities, this is a recipe for social unrest–as we know from our own painful history.
I understand that it is always a difficult exercise for any government to admit its own wrongdoing or the wrongdoings of the majority society–we know this, too. But Romani mistrust of government institutions will only deepen if the Slovak Government persists in denying the wrongs perpetrated against their community.

Wednesday's GOP gubernatorial primary debate in Idaho should carry a disclaimer: NOT a Saturday Night Live skit.
It was that amazing.
And it had nothing to do with the ongoing conflict between the Tea Party and the Republican establishment.
In fact, the sober-suited Gov. Butch Otter, running for a third term, and his Tea Party challenger, state Sen. Russ Fulcher, were largely relegated to serving as bemused bystanders as the proceedings were happily hijacked by two highly entertaining, long-shot candidates.
There was Walt Bayes, a full-bearded Santa Claus look-alike and abortion opponent, who's the father of 16, and Harley Brown, a leather-clad biker with a pocketful of cigars, a history of being slapped with restraining orders and, according to him, a direct line to God.
(The Almighty allegedly wanted Brown, who has a "master's in raising hell," to run for president.)
"I'm about as politically correct as your proverbial turd in a punch bowl," Brown explained.
As you watch the highlights here, give thanks to Otter, who made sure Bayes and Brown got their moment on the stage by insisting on their presence at the debate. We all owe the governor a debt of gratitude.

Automated precision machining in tool making
C 42 UP | Brink Group | Tool making
The Brink Group from Holland has been reducing manufacturing costs for years with automated parts manufacturing and increased spindle runtimes, thereby boosting their competitive strength.
The Brink Group from Holland – a specialist in die cast tools and production automation in thin-walled packaging for food, cosmetics and chemical products, with the focus on plastic packaging with wall thicknesses from 0.25 to 2 mm and FFS turnkey solutions (Form Fill Seal) – has developed into a leading world company in the last 40 years. Consisting of the five groups, Brink Mould (injection moulding tool systems for thin-walled packaging), Brink Automation (in-mould labelling, removal handling and stacking systems, support bracket assembly), Brink Mould & Dies (injection moulding tool systems for all types of packaging and plastic products), Brink Griffel Mould Services (maintenance and repair of tools, tool tests) and Brink VDB Packaging Systems (turnkey solutions and setup/conversion of existing system), there are currently 210 skilled employees at three locations in Holland. As mentioned previously, the main attention is devoted to the development, design, manufacture and service of single, multiple and multi-stage tool systems for mass production of thin-walled packaging in die cast technology as well as the turnkey solutions. Because the size of the packaging extends from 20 ml to 30 l, the corresponding multi-tools may be up to 1m³ and more in volume. The base plates and components for the die cast tools are just as large. Customer requirements for cycle times/output, maximum material efficiency, reproducible quality and maximum runtimes in multi-shift operation can only be met by using multiple tool systems plus fully automatic parts handling. This is precisely what distinguishes the Brink Group and companies in the Group from the competition, which is often concerned only with mould and tool making or simply parts handling and prefers to leave the system business for complete product solutions to the customer or special machine construction as a system integrator.
Manufacturing automation strengthens competitive ability
C. J. van Heerikhuize, Group Managing Director at the central location in 6732 BL Harskamp, Netherlands spoke about the challenges that come with full-service system business: "Our experience has shown that larger units are difficult to control in the business. Because of this we rely on decentralised units, which are more manageable both for individual specialised processes and for the corresponding manufacturing equipment. Each of our three plants, spread over three locations here in the Netherlands, has its own mechanical production and assembly and is also directed independently. The interdisciplinary work we do here allows for parallel manufacturing, mounting and commissioning of tool and handling systems, which significantly reduces our runtimes." In practice, however, this also means that manufacturing capacity has to be reserved in each plant in the form of specialised personnel and machines, which must be flexibly available for use at any time. High output capability is just as much in demand as maximum availability, and those are already two of the reasons why all companies in the Group use CNC machining centres from German manufacturer Maschinenfabrik Berthold Hermle AG, D-78559 Gosheim. A total of 14 Hermle machining centres of various sizes and fitted differently (4 and 5 axes) are currently in use in the four plants. Johan van Veenschoten, Director responsible for mechanical manufacturing, added: "Until 2006, we produced with CNC machining centres. Then we also started using 5-axis technology with Hermle. That worked so well with support from Hermle-Nederland Service and from the main office that within just six months we had arrived at spindle runtimes of 140 hours per week per machine. We have done very well so far with our strategy of preparing NC programmes with Office programming and accompanying simulation to the point where we only have to press the button in manufacturing, so to speak. This is clearly evident for example in the manufacturing of die cast tool systems, where we use six Hermle machining centres and achieve spindle runtimes of over 600 hours per week - and that is with highly flexible and mostly priority-controlled single part and small series production of complex tool components made of tool steels fully hardened to 52 HRC."
5-axis milling combined with automatic workpiece management
Because the Brink Group occupies a very special position in the market as a specialist for the die cast tools and turnkey solutions mentioned above, but must also ward off global competition, they are continually searching for additional ways to optimise production, and they have found just that in more extensive manufacturing automation. This is evident for example in the latest investment in parts manufacturing using a 5-axis high-performance machining centre type C 42 UP from Hermle. A combination of the longest possible spindle runtimes and automated 5-axis/5-sided/complete/simultaneous machining plus automated workpiece handling promises not only advantages in productivity, but also shorter throughput times. The C 42 UP was also equipped with the 5X pallet changer type PW 850 for this reason. The 5-axis machining centre also has an additional tool magazine size ZM 160. Together with the basic tool magazine that includes 42 pockets, more than 200 tools are now available for machining the most complex workpieces. As mentioned earlier, depending on packaging volume, the company often manufactures multiple and multi-stage tool systems with corresponding dimensions for basic and component dimensions. With a large working area of X = 800 x Y = 800 x Z = 500 mm compared to the compact C 42 UP machine, the C 42 UP 5-axis high-performance machining centre is ideally equipped for complete machining of tool parts, even larger and heavier ones. The NC-swivelling rotary table, 800 x 630 mm in diameter, provides the required flexibility for 5-axis machining. And because machining includes drilling and face, shoulder or cavity milling in workpiece steels fully hardened to 52 HRC, the high-torque main spindle, which rotates at max. 18,000 rpm, has an HSK-A 63 tool holding fixture and can be fitted with precision drilling and milling tools appropriate for the performance level.
Johan van Veenschoten notes in conclusion: "With the new Hermle manufacturing system, consisting of a C 42 UP 5-axis machining centre and 5x pallet changer, we have another productivity package to use that will definitely save us money. Especially with the help of Hermle's automated machining centres, we have been able to continually and significantly lower manufacturing costs for a long period of eight years, thereby protecting our competitiveness. Not only the machines and pallet changing systems played a large part in this, but also Hermle's excellent customer service, which can be on site quickly and is absolutely competent. When we have a problem, we need help quickly and the service itself should not become a problem, which was the case with previous machine suppliers... . We offer a unit number guarantee of 3 million for our own tools, and we also expect the best services and guarantees from our suppliers. Because we have machining runtimes of one to eight hours for tool parts, some of which are very complex and correspondingly expensive, we have to depend on maximum technical availability and absolute long-term accuracy of the machining. We are on the safe side with Hermle's exemplary performance, reliability and service, and we save even more money."

Israeli airstrike collapses Gaza apartment tower
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Israel bombed an apartment tower in downtown Gaza City on Saturday, collapsing the 12-story building in an unprecedented strike, while Hamas kept up heavy rocket fire that sent more Israelis fleeing border areas close to Gaza.
The violence signaled that a speedy resumption of truce talks is unlikely, despite another appeal by mediator Egypt. Gaps between Israel and Hamas on a border deal for blockaded Gaza remain vast, and repeated rounds of talks have ended in failure.
In the Gaza City strike, a huge fireball followed by a black column of smoke rose into the sky after two Israeli missiles toppled the Zafer Tower, one in a group of several high-rises in the upscale Tel al-Hawa neighborhood. Neighboring buildings shook from the blasts.
The Israeli military said the missiles targeted a Hamas operations room in the building, but did not explain why the entire tower with 44 apartments was brought down.
Gaza police said a warning missile had been fired five minutes earlier and that some residents were able to rush out of the building in time. Still, 22 people were wounded, including 11 children and five women, according to Gaza hospital officials.
Maher Abu Sedo, an area resident, said the two strikes came within seconds of each other.
"People started shouting Allahu Akbar, and women and kids were screaming," he said. "This is crazy. The state of Israel has resorted to madness. In less than a minute, 44 families have become displaced ... They lost everything, their house, their money, their memories and their security."
Some 100,000 Gazans have become homeless, with more than 17,000 homes destroyed or damaged beyond repair, according to U.N. figures. However, Saturday strike marked the first time an entire apartment high-rise was destroyed.
Elsewhere in Gaza, an airstrike on a car killed a man and wounded 11 people, said Ayman Sahabani, head of the emergency room at Gaza City's Shifa Hospital. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine later identified the man killed as a field commander.
Meanwhile, Gaza militants fired over 100 rockets and mortar shells at Israel on Saturday. The barrage came a day after a mortar shell from Gaza hit a farming village in southern Israel, killing a 4-year-old boy.
Israeli media said large numbers of residents of southern Israeli communities near the Gaza border were leaving their homes and heading for safer areas following the death of the boy in Kibbutz Nahal Oz.
"I say whoever can leave, whose presence is not crucial should leave," said Minister of Public Security Yitzhak Ahronovich during a visit to the south on Saturday.
Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon called on southern residents to be ready for a prolonged campaign against Hamas militants.
"In the end we will win," he said Saturday. "This is a test of staying power and strength."
Since the fighting erupted on July 8, Israel has launched some 5,000 airstrikes at Gaza, while Gaza militants have fired close to 4,000 rockets and mortars, according to the Israeli military.
More than 2,100 Palestinians, including close to 500 children, have been killed, according to Palestinian health officials and U.N. figures. Israel has lost 64 soldiers and four civilians.
Israel says it is targeting sites linked to militants, including rocket launchers, command centers and weapons depots. The U.N. says about three-fourth of the Palestinians killed have been civilians.
A formula for ending the war remains elusive.
Hamas demands that Israel and Egypt lift a Gaza border blockade they imposed in 2007, after Hamas seized the territory from Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Israel says it can ease, but not remove the stifling restrictions on Palestinian trade and travel unless Gaza militants agree to disarm and stop manufacturing or smuggling weapons. Hamas has rejected that demand.
During stop-and-go truce talks, Egypt has presented compromise proposals, including a gradual easing of movement for people and cargo at two crossings between Israel and Gaza. However, Israel offered no specific commitments, and Hamas rejected the idea.
Abbas has urged Hamas to accept the plan, which would also give him a new foothold in Gaza because forces under his command would be deployed at the border crossings.
Abbas met Saturday with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi in Cairo to try to find ways to resume truce talks. After the meeting, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry urged Israel and Hamas to agree to an open-ended cease-fire and resume indirect talks. Egyptian officials did not say how they expected renewed talks to produce a different outcome after repeated failures.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Hamas for the collapse of the most recent cease-fire. In a phone conversation with U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, Netanyahu alleged that Hamas has violated 11 cease-fires since the war started, Netanyahu's office said.
Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev had no immediate comment regarding the renewed call for a cease-fire. Sami Abu Zuhri, a spokesman for Gaza's ruling Hamas, said the group would consider the Egyptian appeal, but there was no sign it would budge from longstanding demands.
Earlier Saturday, Hamas announced that it has signed a pledge to back any Palestinian bid to join the International Criminal Court. Such a bid could expose Israel, as well as Hamas, to possible war crimes prosecution.
Hamas had hesitated for weeks before giving its written consent. Its decision could further increase domestic pressure on Abbas to turn to the court.
Abbas has debated the issue for months, since seeking ICC action could transform his relations with Israel from tense to openly hostile, strain his ties with the United States and deprive his government of badly needed Western financial support.
Last month, Abbas said he would not make a move without the written consent of all Palestinian factions. He obtained such support from all groups represented in the Palestine Liberation Organization, while Hamas, not a PLO member, said it would study the idea.
It remains unclear if Abbas will turn to the court, now that he has Hamas support in writing. An Abbas aide said last week that no decision would be made before March when a U.N. commission of inquiry into possible war crimes committed in the Gaza war is to hand in its findings.

How long will my order take to ship?
We try our very best to ship in-stock orders out within 1-3 business days. It's not uncommon for us to send out orders same-day. It's one of our main priorities to get you your item as fast as possible.
For most locations, it will take 3-5 days from the ship date for you to receive your item. If you choose Priority shipping, transit time will be reduced to 2-3 business days. For international orders, the average ship time is 6-10 days, but this can vary based on location.
Do you ship to other countries?
We ship worldwide!
I received an extra shipping charge when my package was delivered. What is this?
If you are located outside of the USA, this is most likely an import tariff from your country.
Unfortunately, we are not responsible for paying any custom duties, import taxes, or fees. Every country is different, and so we strongly advise that you research your specific country's laws before making a purchase. This way, you are not faced with an unexpected bill!
Can you guarantee that I'll receive my order by my deadline?
Unfortunately, we can't make any promises concerning delivery dates. We cannot control what happens to the package after it transfers hands to the postal service.
However, we will do everything in our power to get you your item on time. If you have an important deadline, definitely let us know by adding a note during checkout or contacting customer service.
Oops! I gave you the wrong shipping address. What do I do?
If you notice the issue right away, you can login to your account and edit your recent order to update the shipping address. This is the same page where you can find tracking updates.
If you don't have an account, you can find this order confirmation page in your email or text messages.
If it's been too long and it's no longer possible to update the address yourself, please contact customer service immediately! We may be able to correct the address before the package is officially sent off. The earlier, the better!
If the package was already shipped to an incorrect address, here are our options:
1) The customer can call USPS customer service and ask for the package to be held at their local post office for pickup.
2) We wait for the package to be returned to our office, and we will ship it back out, free of charge.
3) If the customer needs the package immediately, they can opt to pay a fee for the package to be re-routed to the correct address. Fees depend on the weight and location of the package.
Keep in mind, if a package is returned to us due to an incorrect address, and we are unable to get in touch with you within 30 days, your order will be refunded, minus the shipping cost, and the items will be returned to our stock.
I forgot to add my coupon code. How can I apply it to my order?
Contact us, tell us the coupon code, and as long as your order meets the requirements for the sale, we will apply it for you!
My tracking shows that my package was delivered, but I never received it.
This can sometimes happen if the package was stolen, delivered to the wrong place, or if there is an error with the tracking.
We suggest waiting a few days to see if it shows up. You can also check with neighbors, roommates, or your local post office to see if they might have it. 99% of the time, the package turns up this way.
I received my order, but one of my items is missing / damaged / wrong.
To begin, we sincerely apologize! We do our best to quality check each item / order, but we do make mistakes from time to time. For missing items, please contact us here and we will correct our mistake.
For damaged or incorrect items, please file a report using our Returns portal. You will be asked to submit a photo of the issue, which we will promptly review.

My item was lost / stolen / damaged in the wash. Can you replace it?
Unfortunately we do not replace items that are lost, stolen, or damaged AFTER it's already been received (Example: an item that shrunk after using washer/dryer). However, if the item was damaged due to a mistake on our part, we will replace it.
Each situation is unique, so if you're having issues with your item, please let us know! We want to be sure that you are happy with your purchase.

The Expert: Dr. Walter Willett
Fredrick John Stare Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition, Departments of Nutrition and Epidemiology, and Chair, Department of Nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health
1. How much control do we have over our body weight? And how much of our weight is controlled by our genes?
Genes do play a role in controlling our weight, but clearly they do not explain the huge increases in overweight and obesity we have seen in the last 30 years. We gain weight when our "calories in" (the food we eat) exceeds our "calories out" (the energy we burn). Given the genetic package we are born with, we can all improve our weight by paying attention to diet and getting regular physical activity, but some people will need to work harder than others to maintain a healthy weight. In other words, if we all eat and work out the same, we will not all look the same. Only a very small percentage of people have such a strong genetic predisposition that they will be obese no matter how hard they try. Even people who are genetically predisposed to obesity can reduce their risk of chronic disease by eating a healthful diet and staying active.
2. What is the best diet for losing weight?
The real issue is not losing weight—people can cut back on calories and lose weight on almost any diet—but keeping weight off over the long run. Thus it is more important to find a way of eating that you can stay with for the rest of your life. For this reason, any eating plan you choose should be satisfying and allow variety, and should also be nutritionally sound.
The most successful dietary weight loss study has been conducted by Dr. Frank Sacks in our department with Kathy McManus, Director of the Dept. of Nutrition at Brigham and Women's Hospital. This study compared weight loss on a moderate-fat Mediterranean diet to weight loss on a low-fat diet; the Mediterranean diet was high in fruits and vegetables, nuts, and whole grains and it used olive oil as the primary source of fat. The diets emphasized controlling portion sizes to help cut calories. Volunteers assigned to the Mediterranean diet lost an average of 9 pounds in 18 months, whereas volunteers assigned to a low-fat diet gained an average of 6 pounds during that time period. At the study's end, only 20 percent of volunteers in the low-fat group were still following the diet, compared to 54 percent of those in the Mediterranean group. The Mediterranean group volunteers said that their diet regimen was enjoyable and was more flavorful than a low-fat diet.
If you are interested in following this type of eating plan, I suggest using the Harvard School of Public Health's Healthy Eating Pyramid as a guide. Like the Mediterranean diet used in the weight loss study, the Healthy Eating Pyramid emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and legumes, healthy oils, and daily physical activity. To lose weight, watch your portion sizes and aim for a modest reduction in your daily calorie intake. My new book with Mollie Katzen, Eat, Drink and Weigh Less (Hyperion, 2006), follows the same nutritional principles as the Healthy Eating Pyramid and details many eating strategies for weight control.
3. Can I lose weight through diet alone? Or do I need to exercise, too?Daily physical activity can help you control your weight and can reduce your risk of chronic disease. That's why it is the foundation of the Harvard School of Public Health's Healthy Eating Pyramid. Aim for at least 30 minutes a day of physical activity; many people will find that 60 minutes a day is helpful for weight control. For more information on the benefits of physical activity, read the article about staying active.
4. Will going on a low-carbohydrate diet help me lose weight?
Some people who go on a low carbohydrate diet have managed to keep weight off, but the best studies show that on average the weight loss is small after one year. There has been much debate about the impact of low carbohydrate diets on overall health. Our recent 20-year study on 82,080 women found that that a low carbohydrate eating pattern did not increase risk of heart disease; if the protein and fats mainly came from vegetable sources, a low carbohydrate eating pattern actually reduced heart disease. A controlled trial underway at the Harvard School of Public Health may give us a more definitive answer on the possible benefits of low-carbohydrate diets. The study is testing four diets with different amounts of carbohydrate, protein, and fat; it will follow 800 overweight volunteers for two years to see which type of diet is best for weight loss, weight maintenance, and overall good health.
5. Should I cut back on fat to lose weight?
The goal is to cut back on calories, and a common mistake is to focus only on fat. Fat is satisfying, and in the long run low fat diets have generally failed as a way of weight control. For good health, the type of fat is more important than the amount; eat plenty of unsaturated fats, limit saturated fat, and avoid trans fat. For more information on how to choose healthy fats, read the article about Fats & Cholesterol.
6. What are the best fruits and vegetables to eat if I want to lose weight? Which fruits and vegetables should be avoided?
Chose a wide variety of vegetables and fruits every day, but don't include white potatoes as a vegetable. Potatoes are a starch, and a rapidly-digested one at that; nutritionally, they have more in common with white bread and white rice than with other vegetables, and they should be eaten only occasionally. Go easy on fruits that are higher in carbohydrate, such as oranges, bananas, apricots, cherries, grapes, mangoes, pineapple and pears. Also, avoid fruit juices, since they contain a lot of sugary calories; choose whole fruit instead, since it has more fiber and will make you feel more full.
7. Which type of protein is best for me to eat—vegetable protein or animal protein?
Emphasizing vegetable over animal sources of protein will help reduce risk of heart disease. For example, this means eating nuts, beans, and soy products instead of red meat, which contains a lot of saturated fat and cholesterol. However, a healthy diet can include moderate amounts of poultry, fish, and eggs.
8. Will drinking milk or eating yogurt help me lose weight?
Long term studies do not show a benefit of milk or yogurt for weight loss, which should be no surprise as even low fat versions still contain quite a few calories.
9. Every month, I read about a new type of diet that promises to help me lose weight fast. How can I tell if a diet is safe and effective?
Rigid diets usually fail in the long run. I would be wary of any diet that eliminates entire food groups or drastically reduces one food component (such as diet that is very low in carbohydrates). Diets that recommend skipping meals or replacing meals with special supplements are also suspect.
10. Will supplements such as conjugated linoleic acid, omega 3 fish oil, or vitamin B6 help me lose weight?
None of these supplements have been shown to reduce weight. A multiple vitamin is a good nutritional safety net for most people, and for premenopausal women it is good to use a preparation that includes iron.
11. How can I find out how much I should weigh?
There is no single number that works for everyone. Your body-mass index, or BMI, a ratio of weight to height, is one way to tell if you are at a healthy weight (you can calculate your BMI online). Almost everyone should try to keep their BMI below 25. Also, keep in mind that most of the weight we gain in adulthood is fat. So unless you were clearly underweight at age 18 or 20, it is best not to gain more than 5 or 6 pounds after this age. For someone who is very overweight, it is usually not realistic to go all the way back to your weight at age 18; even a 5 to 10 percent weight loss has important health benefits.
12. How often should I weigh myself?
Once a week is a good interval. It is also a good idea to keep an eye on your waist circumference; even an inch or two increase in waist size is a sign that you may need to cut back or calories, exercise more, or both.

If the returned format is 8, the returned data is represented as a char array. If the returned format is 16, the returned data is represented as a short array and should be cast to that type to obtain the elements. If the returned format is 32, the returned data is represented as a long array and should be cast to that type to obtain the elements.
XGetWindowProperty always allocates one extra byte in prop_return (even if the property is zero length) and sets it to zero so that simple properties consisting of characters do not have to be copied into yet another string before use.
If delete is True and bytes_after_return is zero, XGetWindowProperty deletes the property from the window and generates a PropertyNotify event on the window.
The function returns Success if it executes successfully. To free the resulting data, use XFree.
XGetWindowProperty can generate BadAtom, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.
The XListProperties function returns a pointer to an array of atom properties that are defined for the specified window or returns NULL if no properties were found. To free the memory allocated by this function, use XFree.
XListProperties can generate a BadWindow error.
The XChangeProperty function alters the property for the specified window and causes the X server to generate a PropertyNotify event on that window. XChangeProperty performs the following:
If the specified format is 8, the property data must be a char array. If the specified format is 16, the property data must be a short array. If the specified format is 32, the property data must be a long array.
The lifetime of a property is not tied to the storing client. Properties remain until explicitly deleted, until the window is destroyed, or until the server resets. For a discussion of what happens when the connection to the X server is closed, see section 2.6. The maximum size of a property is server dependent and can vary dynamically depending on the amount of memory the server has available. (If there is insufficient space, a BadAlloc error results.)
XChangeProperty can generate BadAlloc, BadAtom, BadMatch, BadValue, and BadWindow errors.
The XRotateWindowProperties function allows you to rotate properties on a window and causes the X server to generate PropertyNotify events. If the property names in the properties array are viewed as being numbered starting from zero and if there are num_prop property names in the list, then the value associated with property name I becomes the value associated with property name (I + npositions) mod N for all I from zero to N - 1. The effect is to rotate the states by npositions places around the virtual ring of property names (right for positive npositions, left for negative npositions). If npositions mod N is nonzero, the X server generates a PropertyNotify event for each property in the order that they are listed in the array. If an atom occurs more than once in the list or no property with that name is defined for the window, a BadMatch error results. If a BadAtom or BadMatch error results, no properties are changed.
XRotateWindowProperties can generate BadAtom, BadMatch, and BadWindow errors.
The XDeleteProperty function deletes the specified property only if the property was defined on the specified window and causes the X server to generate a PropertyNotify event on the window unless the property does not exist.
XDeleteProperty can generate BadAtom and BadWindow errors.
