God forbid that the FBI should understand the world view, motives, and goals of those who have vowed to destroy us. "Critics say the effort was driven by political correctness and made America more vulnerable by limiting the training FBI counter-terror agents receive to avoid offending Muslims." Indeed. And we saw the fruits of this at the Boston Marathon. Agents had been warned by the Russian government and probably also the Saudis about the Tsarnaev brothers; but since they're forbidden to study and understand the jihad doctrine, they didn't know how to evaluate the warnings.
"Obama, Eric Holder, cartoons and Lady Gaga are among the 'inappropriate' images purged from FBI counter-terror training," by Mark Flatten for the Washington Examiner, November 25:
A photo of President Obama in a turban and cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad that led to terrorist plots against the Danish newspaper that published them are among documents purged from FBI counter-terrorism training materials, new disclosures from the agency show.
The documents deemed unfit for inclusion in FBI classrooms range from slides showing verses in the Quran favored by terrorists to a video called "God Hates Lady Gaga" produced by a fundamentalist church best known for its intrusive anti-gay protests at veterans' funerals.
Entire sections dealing with Middle Eastern history, Islamic culture and techniques for interviewing Muslims while being mindful of Islamic customs were removed.
So was a reference to Attorney General Eric Holder's inability to define radicalism in a 2010 congressional hearing. The reason for that deletion was redacted.
The FBI began scrubbing its training materials in October 2011 after media reports that some of the presentations were deemed offensive or inaccurate.
Then-FBI Director Robert Mueller ordered the review under pressure from several Islamic-American groups. It was completed in March 2012.
Critics say the effort was driven by political correctness and made America more vulnerable by limiting the training FBI counter-terror agents receive to avoid offending Muslims.
"If you are going to be able to survive an enemy that wants to kill you and destroy your country, then you have got to know and understand your enemy," said Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, a longtime critic of the FBI document purge.
"When you are in a war to save your country, your way of life, your liberty, then you need to know everything you can about those who are trying to destroy you," he said.
"For the first time I am aware of in our nation's history, we are refusing to take a good look at who wants to destroy us," Gohmert said.
Almost 700 pages that were discarded by the FBI were released to the Washington Examiner in response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed in April 2012.
The disclosure provided no accounting of whether all removed materials were released or an explanation of why individual presentations were deemed unacceptable.
The Examiner compared the new documents to records released in May by the nonprofit watchdog group Judicial Watch, which obtained them through FOIA.
Those records included explanations of why individual pages were considered unacceptable, but not the actual pages themselves.
The Judicial Watch records make reference to about 475 separate document numbers that include purged materials. The agency disclosures to the Examiner list only about a third of those files.
However, since many pages are duplicated in multiple presentations, it is not clear how many documents were not released.
Gohmert, who previously reviewed the FBI files, said he believes large numbers of documents were not released to the Examiner.
The FBI refuses to release information about the Subject Matter Experts, or SMEs, who reviewed the training documents and decided which presentations had to be removed.
FBI spokesman Christopher Allen refused to be interviewed for this story. He said in a written statement that the purged materials generally were inaccurate, imprecise or used stereotypes.
"As for the specific slides, viewed individually without the rest of the presentation or the presenter's notes, it is difficult to determine the specific context in which the slide was presented," Allen said.
"Although the FBI will not discuss specific slides, we can say that many of these slides were part of presentations that were never delivered, or delivered one time to a small audience," he said.
The Obama photo was taken in 2006 during a visit to Kenya when he was a U.S. senator. During the visit, Obama was dressed in the traditional turban and robes of a local elder.
The photo fueled false accusations from some Obama critics that he is a Muslim, and created a dust-up in the 2008 Democratic primary when Obama aides accused Hillary Clinton's campaign of spreading the falsehood to the media.
No explanation is given for its deletion in the SME assessment other than the photo "is in poor taste and must be removed."
The Danish cartoons appeared in multiple presentations on suicide bombers in a section labeled, "How things can inflame a situation."
The cartoons depict Muhammad and were published in 2005 by the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten as a criticism of self-censorship in the media.
The cartoons sparked violent protests across the Middle East that led to more than 200 deaths. Muslims consider it blasphemous to create Images of Muhammad.
Last year, four men were convicted in a Danish court of plotting a terrorist attack against the newspaper as revenge for the cartoons. Two men with alleged al Qaeda connections also were convicted for a separate plot in Norway.
The only explanation for purging the cartoons given in the SME assessment is that all of the Images are "inappropriate."
Some of the deleted pages made assertions that the SMEs considered inaccurate. While many of the supposed factual errors concerned ancient Middle Eastern and Islamic history, others dealt with modern-day terror attacks.
Several slides were removed because they linked al Qaeda to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six people.
The 9/11 Commission, which conducted the definitive investigation of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, found links between al Qaeda and the first World Trade Center bombing, but concluded evidence of direct involvement was "at best cloudy."
The mastermind of the 1993 bombing, Ramzi Yousef, is the nephew of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the chief al Qaeda planner in the 2001 attacks.
The commission found Mohammed aided Yousef in the 1993 bombing and the two discussed future operations, which included the synchronized bombing of multiple aircraft.
The FBI's own website suggests a connection between al Qaeda and the 1993 bombing.
"The attack turned out to be something of a deadly dress rehearsal for 9/11; with the help of Yousef's uncle Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, al Qaeda would later return to realize Yousef's nightmarish vision," the page on the bureau's official history states….

One of the region's most legendary and revered Champagnes; Gosset's original Charter of Excellence has remained the same since the 1500's, with different owners seeing no need to amend it.
In 1584 Pierre Gosset, alderman of Aÿ and wine-grower, made still wines from the grapes he harvested from his own vines. In those days, two wines vied for pride of place at the table of the Kings of France : the wine of Aÿ and, from some hundreds of leagues further South, the wine of Beaune. Both were made from the same grape varieties Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The reputation of the wine of Aÿ was such that François the First had his own winery built there, which is now owned by Champagne Gosset. Then, in the 18th century the wine made in and around Aÿ began to bubble, and the Gosset family turned naturally to the production of champagne.
For four centuries, great care has been taken to maintain the reputation of the brand, and to preserve a family know-how in making champagne.
Gosset insist on only using the juice from the first pressing of their grapes and primary fermentation takes place in small oak barrels. Disgorgement and riddling are still done manually. Gosset set themselves apart from the majority of other Champagne houses by disallowing any malolactic fermentation to take place. This results in a higher acidity in the Champagne and a much slower maturing rate. When producing their Grand Rose; Gosset add only the finest Reserve wines from their cellars.

No. 2000-020
November 14, 2001
Boutin & Associates, PLLC, of Londonderry (Brenda E. Keith and Edmund J. Boutin on the brief, and Mr. Boutin orally), for the plaintiff.
Upton, Sanders & Smith, of Concord (Lauren S. Irwin and Barton L. Mayer on the brief, and Mr. Mayer orally), for the defendant.
Broderick, J. The plaintiff, Gerald Handley, appeals an order of the Superior Court (McGuire, J.) holding that RSA 675:5 (1996) does not require towns to determine the validity of a protest petition prior to the vote on a warrant article and that the defendant, Town of Hooksett (town), had not impermissibly combined multiple amendments to its zoning ordinance into a single ballot question. We affirm.
The record supports the following facts. On January 20, 1999, the town posted the warrant for its annual meeting. Among the questions to be voted on was Warrant Article 2, Amendment 4 (ballot question), which sought to alter both the square footage and frontage requirements for lots in medium- and high-density residential districts. The plaintiff and others filed a timely protest petition, which, if signed by the owners of twenty percent of the area of the lots affected by the ballot question, would have increased the vote needed to pass it to a two-thirds majority. See RSA 675:5, I-a(a).
As required by RSA 675:5, II(b), the town clerk posted the following notice at the polling place after receiving the protest petition:
As a result of the receipt of this protest petition, a two-thirds vote of the town meeting may be required to pass the zoning amendment.
In addition, as required by statute, the moderator announced at the opening of the polls that a protest petition had been received. The validity of the petition, however, was not determined by town officials until after the voting was completed.
At the close of the polls, the official tabulation revealed a total of 718 votes cast with 463 in favor of the ballot question and 255 opposed. In the event a two-thirds majority was ultimately required, the ballot question would have needed to receive 479 votes. After a recount, the results were modified. The revised election results revealed that 722 votes were cast, with 465 in favor of the ballot question and 257 opposed. Based upon the revised tabulations, a two-thirds majority would have required 481 votes. Prior to the recount, but one day after the election, the town administrator announced at a meeting of town council (council) that an examination of the protest petition had begun. The pre-recount results of the balloting were published at the same meeting.
Less than ten days later, the town administrator prepared a memorandum for the council stating that the acreage owned by the signatories to the protest petition represented only fourteen percent of the total acreage affected by the ballot question, less than the statutorily required minimum of twenty percent. See RSA 675:5, I-a(a). Five days later, upon the recommendation of the town administrator, the council declared the protest petition invalid. Because the petition was invalid, the ballot question passed by a simple majority vote. See RSA 675:3, I (Supp. 2000). Pursuant to RSA 677:2 (Supp. 2000), the plaintiff filed a motion for rehearing with the council, which was denied.
The plaintiff appealed to the superior court, arguing that the council was obligated to determine the validity of the protest petition before voting on the warrant began. During the hearing of his appeal, the plaintiff also contended that the town impermissibly combined six separate zoning amendments relating to the square footage and frontage requirements in the affected districts into a single ballot question. The plaintiff asserted that the six amendments should have been separate ballot questions or, at the least, grouped into two questions representing amendments to the medium- and high-density residential districts.
The trial court ruled that although RSA 675:5 requires that the council decide the validity of a timely-filed protest petition, neither the statute nor applicable case law dictates when such a determination must be made. Given the difficulty of compiling the tax and other records necessary to calculate the acreage represented by those who signed the petition, the trial court concluded that the towns decision to postpone examination of the petition until after the election was reasonable. Regarding the plaintiffs contention that the town impermissibly combined multiple amendments into a single ballot question, the court concluded that even if the town had separated the proposed amendments to the ordinance into two separate ballot questions for the medium- and high-density residential districts, there would have been insufficient acreage represented by the petition to successfully protest either district. Therefore, the trial court ruled that "[p]laintiffs challenge [to] the [format of the] amendment . . . d[id] not cure [his] invalid protest petition." The court did not address the plaintiffs argument that six separate questions should have been presented on the ballot. This appeal followed.
On appeal, the plaintiff argues that the trial court erred in ruling that: (1) the town was not required to determine the validity of the protest petition prior to the voting; (2) the town council had jurisdiction to decide the petitions validity after the election was held; (3) the town administrator, a non-resident of the town, had standing to direct the town to review the petition; (4) the town had not impermissibly combined six separate amendments into a single ballot question; and (5) the totality of the circumstances did not render the councils ruling impermissible or unconstitutional.
We first address the plaintiffs argument that the town was obligated to determine the validity of the protest petition before voting began. In construing a statute, we look first to its plain meaning. See Neville v. Highfields Farm, 144 N.H. 419, 424 (1999). Further, when examining statutory language, we construe all parts of a statute together to effectuate its overall purpose and to avoid an absurd or unjust result. See Appeal of Van Lunen, 145 N.H. 82, 86 (2000). Unless we find that statutory language is ambiguous, we do not look to legislative intent. See Union Leader Corp. v. Fenniman, 136 N.H. 624, 626 (1993).
RSA 675:5, II(b) states that a signed protest petition
shall be submitted to the [town council] at least 7 days prior to [a] district meeting; provided, however, that each protest petition shall apply to only one article on the warrant. A notice of receipt of the protest petition shall be posted at the polling place, and the moderator shall announce at the opening of the town meeting that a protest petition has been received.
RSA 675:5, on its face, does not require that the validity of the protest petition be determined prior to voting. The statute only mandates that a protest petition "shall be submitted . . . at least 7 days prior to [a] district meeting," and that "notice of receipt of the protest petition" be posted and announced. RSA 675:5, II(b) (emphasis added). The legislature has not seen fit to provide when, after receiving a protest petition seven days before a district meeting, a town legislative body must determine its validity.
Accordingly, we will not consider what the legislature might have said nor add words that it did not include. See Appeal of City of Franklin, 137 N.H. 723, 727-28 (1993).
Concluding, as we do, that the statute does not mandate a determination of the validity of a protest petition prior to voting, we also conclude that such a result is neither unjust nor absurd. Towns are faced with the difficult task of compiling tax and other records necessary to calculate the acreage represented by the signatories to a protest petition. In a perfect world, such calculations would occur prior to voting. However, whether a town completes the arduous task of calculating acreage prior to voting has no effect upon whether voters were properly notified or whether the petition was timely submitted.
The plaintiff next argues that the council lacked jurisdiction to determine the validity of the protest petition following the vote and that the town administrator lacked authority to direct the council to review the petition in the first instance. The plaintiffs contentions rest upon the assumption that the validity of a protest petition must be determined prior to voting. Because we hold there is no obligation to determine the validity of such a petition prior to a vote under RSA 675:5, we find no merit to these arguments.
The plaintiff also contends that the town impermissibly combined six separate amendments into one ballot question. The single question asked voters whether they wanted to amend various provisions of articles 5 and 6 of the towns ordinance by increasing the square footage and frontage requirements for lots in medium- and high- density districts. The proposed changes to lot size and density were based upon the public water and sewage services provided to such lots. The plaintiff argues that each proposed amendment to the ordinance should have been presented as a separate ballot question. At the very least, the plaintiff argues that the six amendments should have been grouped into two questions, so that the proposed changes for the medium- density district were voted on separately from the changes to the high-density district. By combining the various proposed amendments into a single ballot question, the plaintiff argues that the town made it impossible for the protestors to get the requisite number of signatures to meet the twenty-percent acreage requirement.
The town responds that this issue was not properly preserved below. Further, assuming that the issue was preserved, the town argues that the six proposed changes were interrelated and addressed the single issue of lot area and density. Because the six proposed amendments dealt with a related issue, the town concludes it was proper to combine them into one ballot question.
The trial court assumed the issue was preserved and found that, even if all the signatories to the petition were considered for each district separately, the petition would still not have met the twenty-percent representation requirement of RSA 675:5, I-a(a). The court did not address whether the single ballot question should have been splintered into six separate questions. Assuming without deciding that the issue was properly preserved, we concur with the trial courts result, albeit for different reasons. This court will sustain the decision of the trial court if there are valid alternative grounds to support it. See Quinlan v. City of Dover, 136 N.H. 226, 230 (1992).
It is the planning board that determines the final form of an ordinance, amendment, or amendments to be presented to the voters, see RSA 675:3, III, and statutory provisions regulating the form of such ballot questions are generally directory rather than mandatory. See Keene v. Gerrys Cash Mkt., Inc., 113 N.H. 165, 167-68 (1973). In Albert v. City of Laconia, 134 N.H. 355 (1991), we applied the doctrine of the "single subject" rule to a statutory limitation against multiple changes to a town charter in a single amendment. Under this rule, it is not the number of amendments grouped together under one "single subject" that is important; rather, it is the interrelated nature of the amendments and the subject at issue. See id. at 358-59. Concluding that changes to multiple sections of a charter may be done by a single amendment, as long as each section is germane to the subject of the amendment, we held that the towns proposed amendment did not violate this rule. Id. at 360; see also RSA 49-B:5, II (Supp. 2000).
We find the "single subject" rule applicable to RSA 675:3 and hold that a proposed amendment that includes changes to multiple sections of an ordinance is proper so long as the sections sought to be changed are reasonably germane to the subject of the amendment. Our holding is in accord with other courts, which have applied the "single subject" rule in the context of amending town ordinances. See Baker v. Atkinson, 625 N.W.2d 265, 273-74 (S.D. 2001); Legislature of State of Cal. v. Eu, 816 P.2d 1309, 1320-21 (Cal. 1991); 56 Am. Jur. 2d Municipal Corporations § 301 (2000). This rule should be construed liberally, allowing municipalities to include in one ballot question all matters that are naturally and logically connected to the single subject presented by the amendments.
Here, the single subject of the ballot question was changing the lot area and density of medium- and high-density districts based upon the public water and sewage services provided to each lot. A review of the towns zoning ordinance supports the conclusion that the proposed changes to articles 5 and 6 of the ordinance were interrelated. Both provisions of the ordinance regulate lot size and density for those lots serviced by municipal water or sewer and, as such, it was appropriate to combine the various changes in one ballot question so as to avoid an anomalous result where one lot size would be treated disproportionately from others. Cf. Albert, 134 N.H. at 360 (separating each proposed change could result in certain changes being defeated, thus destroying the usefulness of all the other adopted changes). The ballot question was constructed so as to include only those provisions of the ordinance that were logically related to its singular purpose. Further, we note that each proposed amendment to the ordinance was specifically referenced in the ballot question and posted prior to the election. The trial court reached the correct result, albeit on the wrong grounds, and we will not disturb it.
The plaintiffs remaining argument lacks merit and warrants no further discussion. See Vogel v. Vogel, 137 N.H. 321, 322 (1993).
BROCK, C.J., and NADEAU, DALIANIS and DUGGAN, JJ., concurred.

Now that SQL Server 2005 has an official release date (November 7), it's time to start learning about the new editions and key features of SQL Server 2005—and to evaluate how you can apply these features to your business environment. Though it's not reasonable for most customers to plan for a November deployment, most SQL Server 2000 customers will upgrade to 2005 eventually, and knowing what 2005 offers puts you in the driver's seat.
First, SQL Server 2005 is packaged differently than any previous SQL Server releases. SQL Server 2005 comes in four basic flavors: Express, Workgroup Edition, Standard Edition, and Enterprise Edition. At the low end, Express is essentially a replacement for MSDE and remains a free download. Workgroup is an all-new release that includes just the relational database engine (no Analysis Services); for small and medium businesses. Standard Edition contains both the relational engine and the business-intelligence (BI) suite. Enterprise Edition extends Standard Edition by adding very large database (VLDB) and high-availability features such as partitioning and online operations.
By now everyone's heard about SQL Server 2005's CLR integration that lets you use .NET languages such as VB.NET and C# to create stored procedures, functions, triggers, and user-defined types and aggregates. While that's a significant feature, more significant are the new subsystems that SQL Server 2005 offers. SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), which replaces Data Transformation Services (DTS), takes performance and scalability to the enterprise level. The Service Broker and Notification Services provide application-building frameworks. Reporting Services and its end-user–oriented Report Builder tool enable out-of-the-box reporting for SQL Server. Reporting Services comes with all editions of SQL Server 2005; Report Builder is part of the Workgroup, Standard, and Enterprise editions.
So, should you look into an immediate upgrade to SQL Server 2005? Yes, if you have capability or scalability problems. SQL Server 2005's 64-bit capability addresses this in spades. Using the x64 edition of SQL Server 2005 along with the x64 edition of Windows Server can give you much more RAM capability, raising the system capacity to 16TB on most x64 systems—and the price is essentially the same as a 32-bit system. I've used the 64-bit editions of SQL Server 2005 with new 4-way Opteron systems, and I found the performance to be incredible. Another ASAP upgrade is for DTS customers. SSIS shows an immediate payback in performance and capabilities, with some tasks improving in performance 700 percent. Finally, if you're using log shipping for availability, you may find that database mirroring, with its automatic failover capability, makes a compelling case for a quick upgrade.
One step that every SQL Server shop should take is to download the SQL Server 2005 September Customer Technology Preview (CTP). The September CTP is feature-complete and will give you hands-on experience with SQL Server 2005. Even if you're a SQL Server 2000 expert, you'll find the CTP experience valuable because the new SQL Server Management Studio provides an entirely different management interface (which Kalen Delaney and Ron Talmage describe in their August 2005 article, "SQL Server 2005 Management Tools," InstantDoc ID 46798). You can download the September CTP at http://www.microsoft.com/sql/2005/productinfo/ctp.mspx.

I'm going to replace the motherboard on my home-built computer. My computer is currently running Win10 x64 upgraded during the free "upgrade to Win10" period.
I know I can download the Win10 ISO (USB version) to do the install.
What will I need to "activate" Win10 once the new MB is installed?
Should I install and activate Win7 first, then upgrade to Win10?
Do I just need my old Win7 product registration code?
If so, do I need the "specific activation code" I used on this computer for the original Win7 install for this computer? I have four computers upgraded to Win10 (during the free upgrade period), so somewhere are four Win7 product/activation codes in my office.

YUMA, Ariz. -- All-Star outfielder Tony Gwynn says that he believes the San Diego Padres made up a story last season in an attempt to squelch his feud with Jack Clark, and blames management for failing to mediate the conflict with his former teammate.
Gwynn, in a 30-minute admonishment Sunday, also publicly ripped Clark for the first time, saying that Clark`s continual criticism of him simply is the result of jealousy.
It was Gwynn`s accusations that the Padres lied in an attempt to hide the mutilated doll incident, however, that was most intriguing.
The Padres announced in the final week of the 1990 season that an internal investigation determined a groundskeeper was responsible for the placement of a mutilated doll of Gwynn in the dugout. The doll had a noose around its neck and was hanging by a rusty chain.
When the Padres announced their findings, they said the groundskeeper would remain anonymous, but that he would personally apologize to Gwynn. It has been five months, and Gwynn has yet to receive an apology. Although Gwynn refuses to indict any teammates, he believes the Padres lied in a cover-up.
``I don`t believe (the Padres` story), not for a minute,`` Gwynn said. ``I never believed it in the first place. The owners, they covered it up, and they made things worse.``
Gwynn said that he was telephoned by Padres President Dick Freeman before the announcement, who informed him of the culprit, but said the club simply was attempting a cover-up.
``When Dick called me,`` Gwynn said, ``he told me, `Tony, the heat`s on us. We`ve got to make this announcement.`
``I said, `I know the heat`s on you. Go ahead and do what you have to do.```
When contacted Sunday at his home in La Jolla, Freeman denied that their discovery was fabricated, and maintained that a groundskeeper was responsible.

The Earth is in trouble, and it's definitely our fault. It seems clear at this point that traditional methods of generating electricity are unsustainable, and we must find new energy sources that do not produce as much carbon (or dust off old ones, like natural gas and nuclear power).
The recognized need for alternative power sources isn't new. We've seen massive solar arrays unveiled in vast deserts, enormous on-and-offshore wind-farms, wave-beams converting the power of our oceans, and a host of biomass solutions arrive and disappear. However, these forms of alternative energy are not the only game in town: there are a number of weirder ways of generating power that scientists are investigating.

A number of major cities have begun harvesting the heat trapped in their vast metro systems. Millions of commuters (not to mention the trains themselves) sealed in the insulated environment of the metro can lead to an enormous temperature differential.
The heat produced can be converted into power and heat for local homes, apartments, and businesses. Five hundred homes in the London borough of Islington, offices parallel to the Stockholm metro, and a Parisian residential block are all harnessing human heat, with more buildings set to benefit in the near future.
The 2.5 million square-foot shopping mecca, Mall of America, already utilises the heat generated by the sheer volume of people passing through it. This heat combats the usually harsh Minnesotan winter — so much so that the building has no traditional central heating system. Innovative thinking for the designers, way back in the early 90s.
2. Confiscated Alcohol
When life gives you lemons, burn the lemons and use them to power trains.
Sweden's national customs service confiscated 185,000 gallons of illegally smuggled alcohol last year. Rather than pour it all down the drain 15 "Dry January" Tools To Keep You Alcohol Free 15 "Dry January" Tools To Keep You Alcohol Free There are tons of health crazes out there, but "Dry January" might be one of the healthiest ones yet.

3. Used Adult Diapers
Japan's population is getting old fast. So old that in the near future, Japanese sales of adult diapers will outgrow sales of regular diapers. Seriously.
However, whilst the aging Japanese population may be of wider economic concern, Tottori-based Super Faiths Inc. innovative SFD Recycling System sees the burden as a power-solution.
The SFD Recycling System takes used diapers, then sterilizes, pulverizes and dries them in their patented machine, returning biomass pellets reading for burning in the appropriate furnace, returning around 5,000 kcal per kg recycled. Not a bad return for an entirely useless landfill article. Capable of "servicing" around 700lb of used diapers per day, the system could well make its way into retirement homes and large hospitals Medical ID Theft: How Scammers Use Records To Steal Your Identity Medical ID Theft: How Scammers Use Records To Steal Your Identity Read More .

4. On the Dance Floor
More people power, please! The kinetic energy generated by our everyday tasks is under the spotlight as underground stations, nightclubs and gyms begin to utilise piezoelectric harvesting technologies. Piezoelectricity is generated in certain crystals in response to compression force. If you have a surface that's moving for any reason, you can attach piezoelectric crystals to it, and get small amounts of energy out.
The accumulated electrical energy can be used to power services within the same building or area, or routed to a new location. Piezoelectricity isn't an entirely new phenomenon, with DARPA evaluating You Won't Believe It: DARPA Future Research Into Advanced Computers You Won't Believe It: DARPA Future Research Into Advanced Computers DARPA is one of the most fascinating and secretive parts of the US government. The following are some of DARPA's most advanced projects that promise to transform the world of technology. Read More piezoelectric generators in the boots of soldiers. However, we utilise piezoelectricity more often than you might think: electric cigarette lighters feature a piezoelectric crystal with sufficient voltage to ignite the gas, resulting in a flame.
In the wild, we have seen Tokyo underground station power its ticket turnstiles, and the world's first sustainable nightclub in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Piezoelectric energy-generation is also moving into the rail-sector.
Israel Railways, in collaboration with the Technion University and renewable energy company Innowatech installed 32 piezoelectric energy capture devices along a reasonably busy section of railway, harvesting some 120 kWh, enough to power signals, lights and track mechanisms.
5. Thorium Reactors
Miniature nuclear reactors powered by just one ton of radioactive thorium could feature in a new generation of local power generation schemes. That said, thorium reactors would require high-energy neutrons to trigger their fissile activity, which has lead British scientists to begin work on miniature particle accelerators Panoramic Virtual Tour Of CERN Comes To Google Street View Panoramic Virtual Tour Of CERN Comes To Google Street View If you ever wanted to visit and see the Large Hadron Collider, now you can. Thanks to Google Street View you can take a panoramic virtual tour of the CERN site. Read More .
A prototype, the Electron Model of Many Applications, or EMMA, operates at around 20 million electron volts, or 20 MeV, which is a strong start. That said, a fair degree of skepticism remains around the use of thorium and the practicalities of building and maintaining a larger number of local nuclear reactors.
6. Solar Power in Space
What could be more exciting or futuristic than a massive solar array, floating on a platform above the planet, beaming wireless electricity toward the Earth's surface. There are a lot of advantages to this option: no need to take up valuable real estate on Earth, and no energy fluctuations caused by weather.
That said, there is a long way to go with this form of alternative power. Wireless electricity transmission, long-term radiation shielding, meteorite protection, and the sheer cost of putting the equipment into orbit are just some of the stumbling blocks.
But John C. Mankins, President of the Space Power Association and Artemis Innovation, believes that just as nuclear power has received five decades of research, and billions of dollars of research funding to arrive at our current understanding, why shouldn't there be a serious financial effort toward harvesting solar power What Is Solar Energy And Why Hasn't It Taken Off?

In practice, a space solar power project might work something like this:
- A large geostationary array would collect and focus light from the sun.
- Photo-voltaic cells would convert that light into electricity.
- That electricity would be used to power a microwave laser, aimed towards a ground station on Earth
- Microwave energy would be received by the antenna How To Make a Wi-Fi Antenna Out Of a Pringles Can How To Make a Wi-Fi Antenna Out Of a Pringles Can Read More array and converted back into electricity
7. Solar Wind

The solar wind consists of an enormous number of charged particles, emitted by the sun at very high speeds. In principle, these particles can be used to generate electricity by using an enormous solar sail and a charged wire, which generates energy from the solar wind passing along it. According to preliminary analysis by the University of Washington, the amount of power you can generate is essentially limitless, constrained only by the size of the solar sail you deploy.
- 300 meters of copper wire, attached to a two meter wide receiver and a 10 meter sail could generate sufficient electricity for 1,000 households.

Sounds good? It would be – if such a solar sail could be produced and launched into an appropriate orbit.
It's worth noting that that isn't as far-fetched as you might think.

GFP, applied to aluminium electrodes and exposed to ultra-violet light generates power measuring in the "tens of nano-amperes."
It's not insignificant. The development of biological fuels could enable further research into bio-nanotechnologies that require no external fuel or electrical current to continue functioning. If the technology could be scaled-up, it could be extremely useful in the long-run, especially if our oceanic acidity issue continues.
Other Alternative Power Sources?
Some of the energy sources we've looked at here are bizarre, but many may have practical applications down the line. Others are already around us, providing us with alternative energy in our day-to-day. This sort of energy research is critical, if we wish to continue to sustain our growing civilization without irreparably damaging the planet.
What is your favourite alternative power source? Do you have any ideas for alternative power generation? We'd like to hear them. Let us know below!

An attention-grabbing dialogue is price comment. I think that it's best to write extra on this subject, it won't be a taboo topic however generally persons are not sufficient to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers
good write up.. God bless you
We are at the Patent office with New technology that can produce 2000 Megawatts of electricity and zero carbon on just one acre of land.
I can flip a switch and Double it!
All we need is MONEY...
Self sustaining power generator..... It is fairly simple set up. I do not see why nobody has done this before and also takes in with it one of the Tesla concepts in a way, but on a bigger scale... I can build this for 5 k and you can tell your power co. to f off...
I do have an idea for a self sustaining power supply that consists of a few elect. Motors, power inverters, power converters, capacitors, resistors, copper coils, sulfuric acid, water, lead, zinc.
use sound generatours in the walls somehow
I heard once that we may end up having to make our McDonalds' Cheeseburgers out of Jellyfish, since they are becoming so popular. Glad some CAN be consumed.
Anyways, this was interesting.
I am used this to help me with my science slides presentation and got an A! Very helpful thank you!!
Think about motorways and vehicles = electricity.
Under the roads put a wire rod or the like leading to a wheel at the side of the road and attached to a press button on the surface of the road. When a vehicle drives over the press button,it tells the wire rod to press and turn the wheel this makes free electricity.This is very badly explained,wish I knew how to draw my probable daft idea.
do u have any further information about it?
can u send me
I think the energy that our youngster waist at gyms daily we can generate much much more power through it.
If we can make use of this such energy in any way it can the world.
Becoz daily in gyms our super energetic youngsters just waist their lots of energy... we should something definitely in this field
Why not? Electric eels.
Tide power is the way to go. Water wheels that are called undershot wheels are turned by water running under the wheel. Millions of houses on channels,inlets, canals, if each one had a floating water wheel attached to a generator and tied to dock or permanently anchored to dock and produced one third the electricity needed to supply house. Every water outlet sewerage treatment plants, nuclear power plants,dam overflows, and all sources of flowing water should turn a wheel before being released into rivers. Now we're it all started rivers water wheels small enough to charge one battery in a boat,or big as a Ferris wheel on a barge to supply electricity to a hole factory. There are millions of aplacations all over the world. Covered and painted to blend in with inviorment is a must. Tide comes in electricity tide goes out electricity rivers run down hill electricity. Every other form of electricity can fail but the tide and so far rivers never stop. Sounds simple to me. I have no financial interest and no interest in starting a business just more ideas. Don Mc
Imagine using the energy generated by a game of soccer to power your reading lamp. That s exactly the idea behind the Soccket , a soccer ball that stores the kinetic energy generated by its use in play as electrical power.
Over the years I have collected 62 new and exciting ways generating and storing electricity. Favorites on my list are Low Energy Nuclear Reactions, also known as CECR and LENR. Thermoelectric Photovoltaic hybrids known as TE-PV are looking pretty good, and the field of MultiFerroics is growing. Of course I can't leave out the Work of Vladimir Krstic and his claims that he can replace a 1177 lb battery in Tesla's HotRod with a 40 lb daisychained ceramic battery, and charge it in 2 minutes.
Bottom line is that there is one heck of a lot going on in energy generation and storage.
Sir I have a great idea for generating electricity for gravity forces I am finished my experiment but I want mechanical engineering suppot. I am a electrician working in Dubai.you will help me
Hey, I am a graduate in mechanical engineering. Doing my own research in the mecho-electro system. You sound interesting. I am looking forward into the further process.
well ur an idiot
Am searching for innovation project to provide free current to every one.......I need some help frm you people........
Another method of electricity production: magnets.
What you could do, is create a turbine that spins the generator, like in windmills. But, instead of wind, use magnets. Let's say you have a strong positive magnet. What you could do, is stick small positive magnets on the turbine, or make the turbine itself positively charged, then hold the strong magnet next to the turbine. The turbine will spin without end, generating electricity. The only problem, is that in order to generate a large amount of electricity, the whole generator system must be large and powerful (it will cost a lot of money).
40 years ago I had recurrent dreams of such a machine. It drove me a little whacko for awhile. Now the thing has come down to something called Magnetic Field Regauging. To many moving parts and to expensive. I much prefer the fruits of Condensed Matter Physics such as LENR, Metamaterials, and Nanotechnology.
can you explain it deeply sir..........
thanx guys u just helped me in my biggest worries, that is NCSC (National Children Science Congress) wish me luck.!!
all very expensive to implement..
they could not replace .001% of current energy use, either.
so - NOT PRACTICAL
just clickbait
generate electricity from electromagnetic waves
how is possible sir............
we must use electro mag wave to genreate eletricity!!!
use radio - wave to generate electricty
like cemment and subscribe to trump on youtube
no thuis gu is a outrage no more Mexican killers any more
All is good in the hood except for trump hillary and sanders they suck 8----D
Use Eletricity to create eletricity!
If you were able to take away using coal you would have no heat source...but connecting 1 big wire to a heat source that can heat up high enough if whould be able to generate steam therefor creating energy
The Laws of Thermodynamics do not permit this to happen. Read the law of conservation of energy.
I find it strange that there are "LAWS" in an organic natural existence, I ask myself, what must have created these laws and for what reason, perhaps self organization has a play in this, (Order from Kaos). Quantum physics is breaking these laws all the time, these seems to be a different set of laws, and what gets me thinking more is that with interaction, the outcome is effected by the observation of a test or experiment.
Now that's crazy! :)
john mazolla here, and this is shit...
There are already some great ways of generating electricity that are technically and economically feasible - Energy from Waste, wind, solar and water power - not to mention nuclear. The problem is that many people don't like them - in the same way that (rightly) many people don't like coal fired power generation.
It's always good to look for new sources but if you understand basic physics and maths (economics) many of the above and some that are mentioned in the comments just don't stack up - or in the case of body heat - are already being used.
Isn't there some way of harnessing lightning?
yes there is go search "how to harness light "
the internet is a great searching device.
No not really... Sense lightning is static elegricity all the eletrons are being applied at one and there is no steady flow of energy therefor it is pretty much useless
Please take a look at this website 'Fourivers-Technology.com'. It explains how my husbands invention would work for generating electricity! We have patents in America, Japan and Australia.
Nothing is In that "fourivers-technology"
I m just searching for source of making electricity by simple things and of course getting most more device in 2022 it will generated more than (20Mev) its not harm full to human being
and it will porudce less amount of heat .
("i just need some idea from expert of electricity in froriegn countrys")
I'm just having fun here. I don't want to seem too stupid.
Ok, so I thought about a fun idea by imagining a giant ball crashing into Antarctica where the gravitational force of collision could be harnessed in a series of nets. But if we could do that, then we may as well make our own tidal waves in the ocean and use the tidal energy produced AND the gravitational energy from the giant ball, so it'd be like a double whammy. But then I thought about another idea where if a giant, MAGNETIC ball was launched very high and then falls back to earth only to be opposed by the worlds most powerful magnetic field that spits the ball back really high into the sky and the ball would continue to move back and forth like a piston.
The only problem with hydrogen is that, currently, it takes more energy to produce it than one will get out of it.
Exactly. This issue is similar to that of bioethanol, and biodiesel. The cost of running and converting vehicles, plus growing the requisite amount of crop to service the vehicles isn't currently efficient enough. But adding biodiesel to regular diesel as an additive reduces emissions.
A - Is Hydrogen Safe Storage Already Available ?
If The Answer Is Yes, Then ICELAND Will Make A Fortune.
All They Need Is Water, Everything Else They Already Have.
B - Injecting Water In Their Deep Magma Underground Will Generate Super Hot Water And Steam,
C - With ( B ) Or ( D ) It Is Possible To Generate Huge Amounts Of Electricity,
D - With Water And ( C ) It Is Possible To Generate Hydrogen ( And Oxygen, Too ),
E - Now, If ( A ) Is True, You Can Ship Hydrogen Worldwide.
With 1 Source You Can Generate Most Others.
This Will Be Extremely Cheap And, The Best Part, This Cross Generating Means Absolutely Zero Pollution.
Cars Could Have Cheap Hydrogen Cells, And So On, And So On, You Get The Idea.
Safe hydrogen storage is a global research target. Graphene-based hydrogen tanks have been proposed as the next advance for this technology - super strong, can withstand pressure and is relatively cheap.
Thank You For Responding.
The best energy advice, wear condoms and limit your childbearing to 2 or fewer per family. Give the rest of the world's critters some breathing room.
I agree with u sir.
Can any of this be deployed on a large scale within the next 10-20 years? No? Then it ain't gonna do jack sh-t for climate change.
Well, I think some of it can as it's already in place. It just needs scaling up. Certainly piezoelectric energy capture will be seen more and more as the technology evolves. The research for smaller, localised devices is also needed. However, the mini-thorium plants are perhaps more fanciful.
When talking about it in a certain viewpoint, Milo is absolutely correct. First of all, look at the problems relating to cost and also whether the ideas are practical on a large scale in 'most' cases. For cost, it can clearly be seen that implementing these technologies within a micro-cost limit would be unlikely and corruption from the government would slow down or even slash the process. Secondly, the practicality of all of these new sources of energy are i)Mostly in theory or ii)Implementable only in metropolitan areas and not in the remaining regions (villages, mainly) in the world. Please consider what I am saying.
Tidal power.
Indeed. The world's first wave array has just gone online in Australia:
There is another awesome wave based project based near where I live, focused on using wave power to desalinate water. Pretty handy near the sea, and I think they have a trial in progress on the Isles of Scilly.
Using body heat for heating is nothing new many large buildings with interiors not exposed to the outside requires cooling in the winter. I would be interested in how the building is kept warm in the mornings after a cold night without people without heating beyond doorway heat. I suspect there is supplemental heating used for the mornings.
"the sheer cost of putting the equipment into orbit"
Let's face it, none of the energy generating/collecting methods you mention in the article are exactly cheap. While body heat is free, collecting and converting it to electricity is not. The one big advantage beamed energy from space has over all other alternative generating methods is its density. Earthbound solar panels are limited by the atmosphere to only certain frequecies that they can collect. In space, solar light can be collected in a much wider range of frequencies.
Another largely untapped energy source are health clubs and gyms. Any human-powered device can be hooked up to a converter to capture the energy of motion. While any one person using a bike, a life-cycle or a weight machine may not generate a lot of electricity, multiply that by thousands or millions and we're talking about a lot electricity. At least enough to satisfy all the needs of a particular health club or gym.
Hey Dragonmouth,
Some gyms are using piezoelectric plates to capture the energy exerted at the gym, and there are a couple of instances of gym rooms/work-out areas (I don't gym, I have no idea what this area is called...perhaps just "the gym") being entirely powered by the clientele. But as someone else mentioned, there is still some backup electricity used to heat some buildings in the winter - but that may also be down to poor insulation, too.

text: bike path Legislature To Look At Expanding Community Trail Systems By Caroline Ballard • Sep 1, 2015 Wyoming Pathways The Transportation, Recreation, Wildlife, and Cultural Resources Committee has agreed to draft a bill that would help fund more walking and bike paths in communities around the state. Tim Young, executive director for the recreation advocacy group Wyoming Pathways, recently testified before the committee, asking them to consider investing $10 million in the "Active Wyoming" initiative. He says the benefits go far beyond the initial cost. Casper to improve safety and accessibility for cyclists and pedestrians By Jordan Harper • Sep 24, 2013 The Metropolitan Planning Committee for the city of Casper and surrounding areas is looking to make roads safer and more accessible for cyclists and pedestrians and is inviting the public to contribute ideas and comments. The proposed plans include the creation of new walking and biking paths, the extension of existing paths, painting bike lanes on roadways, improving signage, and revising intersection markings. Project analyst, David Hough, says in addition to safety, the project's goal is to make it easier for pedestrians and cyclists to get where they're going. Improvements slated for Grand Teton bike path By Jordan Harper • Jul 25, 2013 Grand Teton National Park announced plans to upgrade its pathway system Tuesday. Slated improvements include lengthening the trail by more than two miles and safety enhancements, including signs, path striping, and the addition of a modern style roundabout. The project will extend the park's system of bike paths, part of which runs parallel to highway 89. Several smaller safety features have already been installed, such as path striping and better signage.

It's 20 years since the Super Nintendo Entertainment System was released in the UK & Ireland. While this event is of little direct relevance to video games and learning, the SNES remains the console that, for me, conjures the fondest memories (with its 8-bit predecessor coming a close second). So, one might argue that the SNES is, at least partly, responsible for my interest in video games in general, and ultimately my PhD. Maybe.
I recall the seemingly endless wait for a European release of the 16-bit machine, scouring the monthly games magazines (imagine having to wait a month – or more – for your gaming news, Kotaku and Eurogamer fans!) for information gleaned from the original Japanese release of the Super Famicom, as it was designated in its home territory, and the North American version that followed. I also recall writing and publishing a guide to finding all 96 levels in Super Mario World with a friend. Pre-Internet, this invaluable publication was created on said friend's Mac, 'published' by emptying his dad's toner cartridge and sold in the back of C&VG and Mean Machines magazines. While this effort represents my first attempt at writing about video games, it's unlikely that my current institution will be demanding its inclusion in our next REF submission.
These personal, anecdotal and ultimately dull recollections, however, are not why I remember the Super NES so fondly. Put simply, the Super Nintendo's allure lay in the games. Stone-cold 16-bit classics include the aforementioned Super Mario World, my favourite Zelda title, A Link to the Past, the original Super Mario Kart and a host of spectacular third-party games (Secret of Mana and Super Castlevania IV come to my mind: others would no doubt point to the likes of Street Fighter II and Chrono Trigger).
Luckily, I still have my SNES, proudly presented in my neatly arranged display of past Nintendo hardware at home (my wife thinks this is *awesome*). The Wii's Virtual Console also provides an alternative (and legal…) means of sampling the classic SNES library. However, if you are keen to get a slice of authentic Super Nintendo action, you will find a brand new machine costs just £899 on Amazon (at time of writing) – small price to pay for the Greatest Video Game Console Ever.

Cameron Diaz, who plays sexy secretary Lenore in the new film "The Green Hornet," says she has no interest in directing or producing films.
The 38-year-old actress is also known for "bombshell" roles such as the title character in the 1998 comedy "There's Something About Mary, Natalie in the "Charlie's Angels" films and Tina in the 1994 Jim Carrey movie "The Mask."
"I have no interest in directing movies or producing movies," Diaz told OnTheRedCarpet.com. "I like my role in making films. It's the perfect amount of involvement for me. I have ADD. I would never be able to spend two years making a movie or even one year. I would just, I'd be someplace else within a few short moments."
ADD stands for attention deficit disorder, which can make many sufferers unable to focus on one task for a prolonged amount of time.
"The Green Hornet" is based on radio, comic book and television serials and is set to be released on Friday. Rogen shed about 30 pounds to play main character Britt Reid, the playboy son of a wealthy newspaper publisher who inherits a media empire after his father dies. Rogen debuted a slimmer figure at the recent Los Angeles premiere for the movie.
Diaz's secretary character works for Reid, who enlists the help of Kato, an employee in his company, to become the crime fighter known as the Green Hornet. Christoph Waltz of "Inglourious Basterds" fame also stars as the villain Benjamin Chudnofsky, a Russian gangster.
"She really pushes her passion," Diaz said about her character. "She knows she's capable, she knows what she's doing. What she doesn't know, she's willing to learn and I love that about her. She also wasn't a push-over, she wasn't willing to be trampled over or be treated inappropriately."

MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) – The Chef Basket Deluxe is a kitchen multi-tasker, claiming the ability to boil, steam, strain, & fry, with one tool. "From Pot to Plate", is the claim on the packaging.
We take metal basket to Mama Nems Restaurant on Eastern Boulevard in Montgomery for our test. Chef Guy Alcindor was gracious enough to allow us into the kitchen to give this mesh basket a whirl.
The chef begins by testing its ability to steam some veggies. The basket is designed to be used two ways. One is upright, which gives a deep basin for cooking. By flipping the contraption over, it make a shallower basket, designed for steaming. He piles some broccoli in the basket and places it over some steamy water.
So far the design is good, but there are a few flaws. You need to have a perfectly sized pot for best results.
Chef Alcindor says the size of the pot matters "because as you take the lid off, sometimes it collapses and falls in."
A few minutes of steaming and we're ready to test that pot-to-plate claim. Though the handles were away from the steam and heat the chef says they are still warm to touch -- but the broccoli files onto the plate. We're impressed with the ease of use. Chef Alcindor gives the steaming capabilities of the Chef Basket Deluxe a 7 out of 10.
Time to turn up the heat. Chicken is on deck and the wings go to the pot of hot oil. Alcindor foregoes leaving the handles out to rest on the rim of the pot for this round. In order to dip the basket into the oil, we need to slide the basket down into the pot a bit. Otherwise, the oil would need to be filled to a dangerously high level. Despite the need for hot pads, the basket withstands the fry oil. The wings strain and plate with ease.
Chef Alcindor adds, "Now I would use this for home frying. It's clean, it's convenient. I give it a 9 [out of 10] for home frying."
It's now pasta time! The holes are bit large for stringy pasta, so forget about angel hair and spaghetti. The Chef Basket instructions do call for larger pastas. Smaller pastas would just slip through the holes. So we choose penne pasta. Chef dumps the pasta into the basket submerged in boiling water.
Chef Alcindor notices a problem, "I already see some of the pastas are slipping through the cracks."
As the pasta expands, it becomes large enough to avoid slipping out of the basket. Ten minutes pass and it's time to strain and dump the penne from the basket.
"[The] dumping process is easy. I'll give it about 6.5 [out of 10]."
What about clean up? Alcindor feels that with the sturdy structure of the meshing and the fact that it's dishwasher-safe, the cleaning process shouldn't be much of a hassle.
Broccoli: steamed. Chicken: fried. Pasta: cooked. That leaves only one question. Does it Work?
Chef Alcindor says, "Yes, it's a yes."'
There you have it, the Chef Basket Deluxe cooks up a YES for this week's "Does it Work?" test.
We found the Chef Basket Deluxe selling for $14.99 at a local retailer.

Penguin Chats: Development[edit]
The Penguin Band originated from Penguin Chat 2.[1] In Penguin Chat 3, there were three Old Blue penguins playing in the igloo. These penguins played the piano, drums and cello. They once played at the Night Club. Their sprites were later reused for Club Penguin's Penguin Band.
2006: Debut[edit]
The Penguin Band debuted at the Winter Luau playing at the Night Club. At this time, Stompin' Bob, G Billy and an Unknown Band member were the only members of the Penguin Band. During this performance every member except G Billy wore a Grass Skirt. The following month, the Penguin Band returned to the Night Club for the Valentines Day Party. At some point between these events, it can be assumed that the unknown member was replaced with Petey K or one of the members changed their color.[2]
The Penguin Band performed four times before G Billy invited Franky to join the band. Without hesitation, Franky accepted the invitation. Before it was time for the Wild West Party to begin, Franky was nervous and worried that he would mess up. After playing the first chord, Franky was relieved from his tension and enjoyed the rest of his time performing.[3]
The addition of Franky didn't slow things down, and the Penguin Band continued to play. Sometime in July 2006, the Penguin Band lost their instruments and had penguins hunt for their instruments. Those who did find the instruments were rewarded with the Band's first background.
2008 – 2011: Style change[edit]
The Penguin Band had a sudden change in their design for the Music Jam 2008. Leaning to more of a country-like style with matching cowboy hats, the band performed at the Iceberg and later waddled around after a performance for the first time.
The following year, the Penguin Band attended the Penguin Play Awards 2009 as guests. The band returned for the second and third Music Jams, performing at the Iceberg then waddling around Back Stage.
Sometime after the Music Jam 2010, the Penguin Band changed their outfits a third time to keep things fresh. When returning for the fourth Music Jam, their outfits were publicly revealed in the Club Penguin Times. During the Music Jam 2011, the Band performed Better Days at the Iceberg every thirty minutes. As usual, the Band waddled around after a performance Back Stage.
2012 – present: Modern Penguin Band[edit]
The tradition continued as the Penguin Band returned for the Make Your Mark: Ultimate Jam. Unlike usual, the band performed alongside with Cadence playing The Party Starts Now. Later in September 2012, the band released their first lyrical song titled "Anchors Aweigh". The Band's next few lyrical songs would be a collaborations with Cadence. In October 2012, Cadence and the Penguin Band released Ghosts Just Wanna Dance. In December 2012, Cadence and the Penguin Band would collaborate again to make Cool in the Cold. In celebration of the Puffle Hotel's Grand Opening, Cadence and the Penguin Band released Puffle Party (Gotta Have a Wingman). Following these events, the Band would make another appearance until the following year.
Some time after the Penguin Cup, Cadence met with the Penguin Band to brainstorm for a DJ3K replacement. This eventually led up to the creation of SoundStudio. The Penguin Band returned to the stage for the fifth Music Jam. They performed with Cadence on the Main Stage providing instrumentals. While not performing, the Band would sometimes waddle around and hang out with their fans.
In February 2015, Rookie announced in the Club Penguin Times that the Penguin Band was going to attend the SoundStudio Party to give advice to rising artists.[4] Despite these claims, the Band never attended the party.
G Billy[edit]
- Main article: G Billy
G Billy is one of the founding Penguin Band members. G Billy is the Band's drummer and occasional flutist. He occasionally talks in slang and is loyal and dedicated to his fans. G Billy has performed since the Penguin Band's origins.
Stompin' Bob[edit]
- Main article: Stompin' Bob
Stompin' Bob is the current leader of the Penguin Band. Stompin' Bob is a self-taunt musician who can play the cello, the piano and the electric bass. He spends much of his free time writing songs and free reading. Stompin' Bob has performed since the Penguin Band's origins.
Petey K[edit]
- Main article: Petey K
Petey K is the third member of the Penguin Band. Petey K is a classically trained musician who's capable of playing the piano, accordion and electric guitar. He has a love for burritos and pranking other members of the band. He has been seen performing since the Penguin Band's second performance.
- Main article: Franky
Franky is the fourth member of the Penguin Band. Franky is the lead singer for the Band and can play the Acoustic Guitar, the banjo and the keyboard. He wrote the book Franky's First Show which can be read in the Library. He has been performing since the Penguin Band's fifth performance.
Unknown member[edit]
An unknown member appeared at the very first performance of the Penguin Band. He or she was a Light Blue playing an acoustic guitar with a Grass Skirt on. It is possible that he or she was Petey K with a different outfit due to Stompin' Bob and G Billy performing with their regular outfits.[2]

Since their origins in 2006, the Penguin Band has performed in multiple rooms. At first, the Band would usually perform at the Dance Club, replacing the turntables. They haven't performed in the Dance Club since the addition of DJ3K, due to conflicts. Occasionally the Band will perform in a different room or even in temporary Party Rooms.

Several of the transactions in which the accounts are based on, do not correspond with the decisions and intentions of the Storting. Serious violations of the relevant regulations have also been revealed, and some transactions are not acceptable when viewed in the light of the norms and standards for government financial management.
The comments apply specifically to comprehensive errors in the payment of salaries due to defects in the basic data, deficient internal control in pay-related areas, violations of the regulations for public procurements, defective procedures and audit trail within the practice of horizontal trade, and lack of updated inventory lists at the units involved in international operations. In addition, the Office of the Auditor General criticises the Armed Forces Military Organisation for having exceeded its given allocations by approximately NOK 1.15 billion.
However, some areas have shown positive development – for example balance sheet items have been more systematically organised and reconciliations have been made between the salary system and the accounting system.
The Office of the Auditor General notes that the Ministry of Defence takes a serious view of the reported errors and deficiencies and will ensure that efforts to achieve efficient budget and financial management of good quality will be monitored.
On 5 April 2005 the Storting adopted a resolution to request the Office of the Auditor General to submit a separate report to the Storting as soon as possible concerning a review of the Ministry of Defence's accounts for 2004. Document no. 3:8 (2004-2005) The Office of the Auditor General's review of the Ministry of Defence's accounts for 2004 was submitted to the Storting on 27 May.
The provision concerning delayed public access to documents that are compiled by or sent to the Office of the Auditor General in connection with the Document no. 3:3 series (2005–2006) has been repealed, cf. Section 28, paragraph 2 of the Auditor General Act.

As powerful on the field as he was popular off it -- that's how stunned fellow students described Isaiah Laurencin, a Miramar High School football player who collapsed during conditioning drills and later died.
The 6-foot-3, 286-pound guard was two weeks shy of his 17th birthday.
A senior offensive lineman, Laurencin crumpled to the ground during a football conditioning drill at the school's football field around 5 p.m. Tuesday. He was taken to Memorial Hospital West in Pembroke Pines and later taken to Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood, where he died Wednesday morning.
"He was known as the class clown," said Danielle Hewitt, a majorette in the Miramar High band who has known Laurencin since he was a freshman. "He used to make us laugh all the time."
Miramar High students have arranged, via Facebook, a "Candlelight Vigil" at the school Friday evening, from 7 to 10 p.m. Request is to "bring flowers and pay tribute to a dear friend."
No confirmation on formal services from the family yet.
An investigator with the Broward County Medical Examiner's office said the manner and cause of the death of Laurencin will not be known until test results are returned in 90 to 120 days.
Laurencin didn't participate in much of the team's workout Tuesday. "He indicated from the outset that he wasn't feeling well," said Nadine Drew, a spokeswoman with the Broward School District.
An autopsy will be performed on Laurencin Thursday, the Broward Medical Examiner's Office said.
Dr. Michael Davidson, with Florida Atlantic University's School of Medicine, said the three most common causes of death among athletes are complications related to sickle cell trait, heatstroke or an undiagnosed cardiac problem.

Originally slated for an early 2004 release date, EA has moved Need for Speed Underground up the release calendar for a fall 2003 launch.
In development by EA Black Box for PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, and PC, Underground is the sequel to last year's Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, which sold more than 600,000 copies on next generation consoles alone in 2002 (in North America, based on NPD data).
With its bigger focus on "rice rocket" street racing, Need for Speed Underground is set to offer 20 of the most sought-after tuner rides from car manufacturers like Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Toyota. Players are able to upgrade nearly every aspect of their car's appearance and performance with hundreds of licensed after-market parts from more than 50 real-world manufacturers.
We will have more on Need for Speed Underground later today.

You know how I wrote about the altercation I had with Senator Klein after he nearly hit me on my bike?
Well, that post went completely viral. Twenty thousand visitors read the post that day, many sites reposted it, and over 100 blogs linked to it.
Most importantly, 100s of people from across the country and even the world phoned Senator Klein's office to support my request for a meeting (read here).
In other words, we were able to use the internet to get people to participate in our democracy. We were able to get people to make their own response to policies surrounding our planetary emergency.
Imagine if we could just replicate that kind of response in terms of phone calls to Senators and Congress people about climate change policy.
But how?
So my question for you is: What were the elements of the Senator Klein post and action that made it so successful? Why did people respond so strongly? And how can we inspire that kind of response again?

It was designed with a collection of pitched roofs rising towards the centre of the site and low at the boundaries. The L-shaped design offers views onto the garden and the house itself. The open plan kitchen is at a raised half story level with bedrooms below. The facade is clad in grey spruce echoing the timber fences around. The finished house is spacious with an intimate quality of an oasis within the city.
