BioSolar to Commercialize BioBacksheet for Thin-Film Photovoltaic Modules
|(Nanowerk News) BioSolar, Inc., developer of a breakthrough technology to produce bio-based materials from renewable plant sources that reduce the cost of photovoltaic solar modules, today announced its plan to expand the companys BioBacksheet™ technology to accommodate copper-indium-gallium-selenide (CIGS) and cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin-film modules.
|Currently, the companys patent-pending BioBacksheet™ technology for crystalline silicon (C-Si) photovoltaic solar cells is in the pre-production phase. Designed to replace petroleum-based components with renewable plant sources, the BioBacksheet™ is a premium-grade backsheet consisting of a cellulosic film combined with a highly water resistant and high dielectric strength nylon film made from castor beans.
|At present, the C-Si area is the largest photovoltaic market segment, said Dr. David Lee, BioSolar chairman and CEO. However, at BioSolar we recognize that the low-cost potential of thin-film modules, particularly CIGS and CdTe, are emerging as formidable competitors in the global solar market and attracting gigantic investments. Many of these thin film PV manufacturers have expressed strong interests for a green backsheet to be incorporated into their thin-film solar panels.
|In a new solar report forecasting production and comparing technologies, "PV Technology, Production and Cost, 2009 Forecast, Greentech Media analysts report that companies making cadmium-telluride panels could produce nearly 1.5 gigawatts, or 6 percent, of the global supply by 2012. The report also said that in the same time frame, companies that make copper-indium-gallium-selenide solar panels could produce 12 percent, or nearly 3 gigawatts, of the worldwide supply of solar panels.
|These products require a backsheet comprising an almost perfect moisture barrier, said Dr. Stanley Levy, BioSolars Chief Technology Officer. Currently, glass is the material of choice. It works, but it is heavy and expensive. In response, we have started development on a BioBacksheet with the required barrier properties for this application. It is a composite film consisting of bio-based and 100% recyclable materials. The resulting product is expected to be much lighter than glass as well as lower cost.
|The greatest impediment to solar replacing fossil fuels is cost, said Lee. Manufacturers struggling to make these technologies cost-effective are increasingly looking to various material choices. We expect this breakthrough product to be rapidly adopted as the standard for the backsheet component of both traditional as well as thin-film photovoltaic modules.

The reactions of the Turkish government following the tragic events in the territorial waters off Gaza have a range of domestic and international ramifications. Right now one significant international emphasis is on the worsened bilateral relations with what was just ten years ago its closest ally in the region, Israel. But what could very well become more significance in the years to come, are the kind of expectations the Turkish government's responses to the Gaza situation since late 2008, and particularly the rhetoric of the government in the past few days invariably produce in the Arab Middle East and beyond. Not only has the Turkish government been fierce and outspoken in their critique of the Israeli government, its policies and its actions throughout the past days, and threatened with various responses. The government has also, through their critique and actions, taken on the role as the voice of the critical international community with regard to the Gaza issue in specific and the Palestinian issue in general. Turkey now speaks for the world, at least for that part of the world that sees injustice being done. Not least in the Arab Middle East Turkish reactions most likely leads to increased expectations of Turkey being able to deliver on the issue and hence do the almost impossible: somehow contribute to a revitalization of the peace process. Other countries, like Iran, may have articulated themselves in similar terms as the government. However, as opposed to such countries, which have no legitimacy in the international stage, Turkey's international position and alliances hold other promises. The Turkish government may therefore slam down on its Israeli counterpart as we speak. But if pressure on Turkey to live up to such expectations rises, they may rather quickly find themselves having to improve relations with Israel once again to succeed.
Turkish prime minister Erdoğan has spent the past days threatening a severe Turkish response to the Gaza incident, where a number of Turkish citizens were killed by Israeli soldiers during the attempt of the latter to take control of a ship attempting to bring aid to Gaza. No doubt Erdoğan will have to deliver on his promise to the Turkish public, who are for the most part outraged by Israel's Gaza policies. Pictures of the Israeli bombings of Gaza in late 2008 left quite an impression on most Turks. It resulted in a number of solidarity demonstrations, a fierce critique of Israel and its imperialist friends, and a sincere wish to help those who suffered and were victims of such policies in Gaza. Among other, this heartfelt outrage and indignation revolving round a sense of great injustice being done, was a driving force behind the 'one minute' incident in Davos. Here prime minister Erdoğan managed to tell Shimon Peres that Israelis know well how to kill, before he got up and left the session infuriated because he as opposed to the Israeli representative was only allotted a couple of minutes to speak. Since then what the Turks deemed a downright humiliation of the Turkish ambassador to Israel, and a Turkish TV series dealing with life in the Palestinian territories have contributed to remind Turks of their sincerely felt indignation. Should Erdoğan fail to deliver with regard to the Gaza incident it could cost the AKP a number of votes in the national elections, which are to be held next year at the latest. It would simply make Erdoğan and the AKP seem untrustworthy and would make them vulnerable to critique.
But the implicit built-up in expectations, which is somehow part of the way in which Turkey has publically lashed out at Israel, is not just taking place with regard to a domestic audience. If not before then definitely now Turkish government starts to look like someone who will take on the role of ring leader in that part of the international community who oppose Israeli policies and push for a solution to the Palestinian issue. In other words it seems as if a range of Arab Middle East countries now actually begin to see Turkey as a state who will possibly be able to revive the peace process through their pressure on Israel. In that sense the stakes are gradually getting much higher for Turkey. The government may quickly find themselves caught between a rock and a hard place as they aim to produce international results with regard to the Palestinian issue, while they also need to hammer away on the Israeli government. No doubt, the Turkish government has no ambition to return to the warm relationship with Israel of for example the 1990ies. This is not in line with the foreign political vision of the AKP. Nor does it serve the security interests of Turkey any longer, on the contrary. Yet there may be a high price to pay if Israel mistrusts Turkey to the extent where Turkey has no role to play with regard to attempts to revitalize the peace process. This has already been seen in relation to Turkey's attempts to revitalize the Israel-Syria rapprochement, but here the stakes were much lower than in the present Gaza related case. If Turkey fails to live up to its expectations and disappoints the raising expectations in the Arab Middle East, the centre-stage role the current Turkish government envisions for Turkey with regard to peace efforts in the region and with regard to positioning Turkey as a major regional (and global) power may soon prove to be far from reality.
As stated the current Gaza incident has multiple domestic and international ramifications, and only a few have been touched upon in this analysis. Significantly though, as sketched above, the Gaza incident may just prove to be the event that provides the Turkish government with the opportunity to live out their foreign policy visions, including the role of Turkey as regional power, problem solver and peace promoter in the wider Middle East. But if they cannot live up to the expectations and deliver the results that supposedly should come with such a role as ring leader, Gaza could also bring the downfall of the AKP's ambitious foreign political visions for Turkey once the enthusiasm of the Arab Middle East withers and disillusionment sets in. Stakes have always been high for those who take up the Palestinian issue. Turkey is no exception in this regard.

Na een Niels Loebje en een Stefan Sielaff is er nu ook een echte Thomas Ingenlath op de oprit beland. Allemaal old skool buddies. Call me oldskool.
Who cars.
De Ingenlath Roomster is in elk geval… eh… een geval apart. Scheiding der geesten stuff.
De goegemeente houdt hem, begrijpelijkerwijs, voor een raar soort pausmobiel – maar, misschien rooms(t)er dan de paus, vonden wij het al sinds de Tsjechische designrevolutie van 2003 een kek karretje.
Getuige het nalatende verkoopsucces kregen wij ongelijk. De gemiddelde Roomster is immers grijs metallic gebleken en wordt bereden door baby boomers met dezelfde haarkleur – en instapproblemen.
Who cars.
Want aangezien het no-nonsense merk uit Mlada Boleslav ooit een begrijpelijk gevoelige snaar raakte bij mijn eveneens no-nonsense (want Felicia rijdende) eega, terwijl ondergetekende juist valt voor automobiele glamour en overbodigheden – stonden dezer dagen zowaar toch nog alle sterren op één lijn, bij de zoektocht naar vervanging van onze baguettemobiel.
Een bijzonder autootje, die Skoda Roomster. Zeker op 16 inch patas.
- Geert.
Tenerife Teide
Pass Masters
At the edge of the gathering the speedster is parked in between some RV's. Red and white with a classic stance. The sheet metal bonnet is popped up, hard shadows accentuate the cars footprint. What might become the picture of the day will turn to an everlasting experience. "Hi there, should I close the bonnet, so you can take better pictures?" "I can park it out there in the open space if you want."
The conversations unfolds as we get into detail. 300 something BHP. "Jump inside I you need to take close up shots. The sound is great, wait a minute, I'll rev her up". Larry is one of these driven and passionate owners who likes to share. He takes it very literally today. "You wanna join me for a ride, I'll show you around." Wind and whirring cogs, click clack, second gear. In between I hear something about ditching windscreens, dust, visibility and Bonneville. Click clack.
As we return at our starting point Larry unlocks the big round steering wheel to get our of the car and hands it over to me. "Slide over to this side, now that you know how it works, it's up to the two of you!" " I am damn serious buddy!"
An endless drive in open space. Hours later we get stuck into down town traffic as we hit Los Angeles. I still have the image of that smiling guy in his white Nascar sweater giving us signs every time we want to return him his V8 speedster. "Come on, go for another round!"
Hey dude, where are you from? You look like you're new here. Germany. You know, I have been hanging around at the lake here for the past twenty years, but you Mr Germany, this is your day. Just walk past those officials and take that picture you need, right there at the starting line! Just do it!
A couple of minutes later I find myself in the middle of the action, a few meters away from the starting line. A motorcycle trails of and vanishes in a cloud of dust. As I turn around to see who is next, I realize I stand face to face with a legendary car. Low, rough, raw, a deep purple bastard. The crew gathers around its driver, providing some shadow.
After the race, when everything has cooled down, I walk up to purple car. This is my personal icing on an already fantastic cake. Shake hands with Mr. WInfield. Eighty-six years old and still full of energy, driving cars like he stole them. Gene is not only one of the scenes last legends, gene is part of hot rod's DNA. I help his crew to push the 501 gently into the trailer. El Mirage, California, it doesn't get any better than this.
Keep modifying, keep testing, keep racing.
This sunday at El Mirage is a perfect opportunity to get an overview of Hot Rod history. Different stages of evolution are parked side by side, here and there with some strange mutations. Dead ends? No, these contraptions spice up the experience. Top chopped, channeled, shaved. Modified, Specials. From post war Belly Tank racers to mind blowing airplanes without wings.
It is worth to take a peak inside the cars and imagine what it must feel like to sit in a cramped cage at such high speeds. Sometimes all you need in a cockpit is a rev counter and a bit of faith, hence the little religious figurine.

No disrespect
to any bands of the past, but the folks at Rims on the River have snagged a great one for this year's festivities.
Soulful, sultry and beautifully ragged, the excellent rock band The Detroit Cobras perform Saturday April 20 at Riverfront Park. The show begins at 5:30 p.m. and features three very fine additional local acts – The Phantom Playboys, The Madd Hatters and Andrew Kane & The Alibis.
The brainchild of singer Rachel Nagy and guitarist Mary Ramirez, the five-member The Detroit Cobras play garage rock thick with murky old school simplicity or Phil Spector-esque aesthetics – soulful harmonies that echo 1950's 45 records with a blistering temperament, found notably on the band's 2001 cover song release "Life, Love & Leaving" which featured a heap of Motown soul and jukebox era rock and roll.
Their sound can be found in modern bands like Tiger! Tiger!, The Hives, Last Year's Men or The Dum Dum Girls. But The Detroit Cobras has carried an underground torch since the late '90s, offering a rough-hewn, lost in the city, brokenhearted vibe that's never over-produced. Nagy, like The Heartless Bastard's Erika Wennerstrom, has a voice that's fierce and beautiful.
It's great rock and roll and even better, it's a free show.

I would call it a worse case pattern, something more typical of graph searching codes like they run at the NSA.

Margaret Carroux
Margaret Carroux (née Bister) (May 31, 1912- July 22, 1991) was a German translator. She translated many French and English literary works into German, sometimes under the pseudonyms Emmi Heimann or Martin Boor.
She translated books by authors like Edna O'Brien, Chaim Potok, Françoise Sagan and Nadine Gordimer. Her most famous translation is that of The Lord of the Rings (published as Der Herr der Ringe, 1969/1970), which she translated with the poetess Ebba-Margareta von Freymann.
The "Carroux-Translation" of The Lord of the Rings was the first German translation of the book. A second was made by Wolfgang Krege, published in the year 2000.
Margaret Carroux tried to capture the literary style of Tolkien's original work, to create the same atmosphere in the German version. During her translation work, she used the "Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings". In the original books, all characters differ from each other through different levels of language, from the formal archaic speech to the everyday speech. Some critics of Carroux accused her of standardising this linguistic feature too much, for a nearly constant old language-style. But many fans like her old-fashioned rendering, because it follows the original text's flow and style very closely.
In 1991 and 2008 revised editions of the Carroux-translation were published. The first one, revised and improved by Roswith Krege-Mayer, contains for the first time the first part of Appendix E (Pronunciation of Words and Names), translated by Helmut W. Pesch.
In the second one, Stephan Askani, lector of publisher Klett-Cotta, and translator Lisa Kuppler corrected some place-names (some were retranslated) — especialy of villages in the Shire — and errors in the spelling of Elvish or Old English words and names in the text and the poems. The corrections are based on the "Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings" and the actual HarperCollins edition of The Lord of the Rings of 2004.
Carroux and Tolkien
In September 1967 Margaret Carroux contacted J.R.R. Tolkien through publisher Rayner Unwin, about her work on translating The Lord of the Rings. Carroux sent to Tolkien her translation of Leaf by Niggle to allow him the opportunity to evaluate her work as a translator of his literary works. She asked Tolkien for a meeting, too. But Tolkien was ill at that time and so the meeting took place three months later on December 13, 1967 in Oxford. In early December Carroux had already sent the part of The Lord of the Rings she had translated so far (about a hundred pages) to Tolkien. After their meeting in Oxford, they corresponded with each other to discuss some problems Carroux experienced while translating, especially with the poems. Carroux sent him some scripts and Tolkien praised and elated her.
- "I should certainly not have taken the trouble that I took with your specimens, if I had not felt that you had the sympathy and understanding required, and only needed a little help and some encouragement to persevere in what is a very difficult task."
- ― Fragment from Tolkien's letter to Carroux, September 29, 1968
In the same letter Tolkien talks about his scrupulosity, if a co-translator, for example a lyricist, would read the text intensely enough, to understand the exact meaning or importance of the poems. Because of this, Tolkien extended to Carroux more help with the poems.
Works by J.R.R. Tolkien translated by Carroux
- 1964: Leaf by Niggle (Blatt von Tüftler, published in the book Fabelhafte Geschichten )
- 1969-1970: The Lord of the Rings (Der Herr der Ringe)
- 1969: The Fellowship of the Ring (Die Gefährten)
- 1970: The Two Towers (Die Zwei Türme)
- 1970: The Return of the King (Die Rückkehr des Königs)
- 1970: Appendices (Anhänge und Register (incomplete))

FERPA provides eligible students the right to inspect and review their education records, the right to seek to amend incorrect education records and the right to limit disclosure of information from their education records. The Act applies to all institutions that are the recipients of federal aid administered by the Secretary of Education.
FERPA protects the education records of students who are currently or were formerly enrolled regardless of their age. The education records of deceased students and students who have applied to—but have not attended—an institution are not subject to FERPA guidelines.
Education records
According to FERPA an education record—with limited exception—is a record which is maintained by the institution, directly related to the student and from which a student can be identified. Based on this definition records from virtually all academic, financial and administrative offices fall under the FERPA umbrella.
Directory information
Western Michigan University—in accordance with FERPA—has designated the following categories of information about individual students as directory information:
- Name
- Address
- Telephone number
- WMU email address
- Curriculum and major field of study
- Dates of attendance
- Enrollment status

So, after Monday's edition of a playlist for every day of the week, we move logically onto Tuesday. According to Wikipedia, the free online encyclopaedia, Tuesday's name "comes from Middle English Tiwesday, from Old English Tiwes dæg, named after the Nordic god Tyr, who was the approximate equivalent of the Roman war god Mars." Etymology, so.
But apart from being named after a Nordic god nobody has ever heard of, what does Tuesday have going for it? Not a lot it seems. Probably the worst day of the week. At least after Wednesday is done you're over half-way through the working week. After Tuesday you're still staring into the middle of a gigantic black and bleak void.
Nevertheless, there is a sizable amount of songs either about Tuesday, or containing the day of the week in the title. Then there's the "see you next Tuesday" element, reflected here at the end with Anal Cunt and Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.
Click here to listen to the Drowned in Tuesday playlist on Spotify.

Since the natives have not yet started up at my place, for Wildflower Wednesday I thought I'd show some of the natives we saw at the NC Botanical Garden and Arb in the center of campus last spring and summer.
......cue the harp music and wavy lines...
I believe the simple beauty of our wild Geranium is the standard against which all other flowers should be judged.
The color is outstanding, especially in dappled shade, and the flower shape and the stamens make the flowers resemble large Hepatica flowers.
I have wanted to grow Thimbleweed (Anemone virginiana) ever since reading about it it in Native Plants for the Southeast.
"...it is so vibrant that it can throw everything out of balance. On the other hand, interspersed with other whites -- white forms of summer phlox, coneflower and Mississippi penstemon -- it can produce a marvelously showy effect. Don't cut back its flowers after blooming; you'll want to enjoy its equally ornamental, fluffy white seed heads. Flowers and seed heads combine to give you about two months of color."
I got it at the Garden last year before remembering that black blister beetles eat my fall anemones every year. Maybe the Thimbleweed will bloom before the beetles get started.
Bottlebrush buckeye is a perennial for which I'm still trying to find a spot. Here in central NC it appreciates some shade and I've read that it likes a rich moist soil. I've thought of putting it at the edge of the woods but it will have to do battle with blackberry briars and seedling trees and the only intervention would be mowing during the winter.
This magnificent Alabama Azalea is at the street side edge of the big pergola at the Arboretum on the UNC campus. The fragrance is strong, sweet and lemony, YUM.
American Wisteria, on the other hand ~ while I love the purple color, the fragrance seems to range from zero to male cat. I'll take the zero fragrance one, thanks.
Unfortunately I forgot to snap a picture of the label or the label was missing but it looks like Roseshell Azalea (Rhododendron prinophyllum), native to our mountains. I love the pink color and the twisted buds.
I have both an American smoketree and two bald cypress but they are twigs compared to these specimens! (The bald cypress is the utility pole lookalike in the foreground.) Well, one of my Bald Cypress seedlings is still literally a twig, and the one that grew all the way to 4 feet after 5 years looks to have had a run-in with a deer's antlers. They were both rescued and are currently sitting in pots near my doorstep.
Onto the summer beauties...
too but if the summer is very hot and dry it may skip blooming that year.
This Joe Pye looks like a volunteer just outside the mountains section of the Garden. It must have been at least 10' tall. The Joe Pyes on my farm are much shorter, with smaller flower clusters (a bit more colorful too), very occasionally reaching 7' but more usually 4 or 5'. Different species or just differences across species?
Great Blue Lobelia and Black-Eyed Susans make a beautiful combination, but not likely one that will be replicated in my garden. Like Cardinal flower, Great Blue Lobelia acts like an annual here. Cardinal Flower and a more dainty species of blue lobelia grow wild here and pop up in various places every year and I've learned to just enjoy them and not try to cultivate them.
Blue Vervain is a lovely native that I haven't been able to overwinter. Which is strange because I've seen it growing right on the bank of a stream in southwestern Pennsylvania that often overflowed its banks in winter.
Wood Sage or Germander (Teucrium canadense), a member of the mint family, likes sun or shade and a lot of moisture.
I saw a number of flowers and plants in the Coastal section of the Garden that I hadn't seen before. If ever the Garden offers plants or seeds of Scarlet Wild Basil (Clinopodium coccineum), I'd really like to try it. It grows in the Coastal Plain/ Sandhills section of the Garden and is native to AL, FL ,GA, and MS. When I googled the plant name I found that Plant Delights carries a yellow flowered cultivar and Woodlanders carries both the yellow and the red. I think it would like the dry parched sandbox conditions at my mailbox, currently home to rosemary, lavender, orange milkweed and Eastern silvery aster. Scarlet wild basil is very aromatic, more like oregano than basil but still sweet.
This interesting-looking aster reminds me of White-bracted Sedge, except it prefers dry woodlands rather than sunny wet places.
There was no tag for the plant below so I got a copy of A Field Guide to Wildflowers of the Sandhills Region, which told me that the plant below is Dwarf Indigo-bush (Amorpha herbacea) and it inhabits longleaf pinelands. The Field Guide is a useful and detailed reference. In it I saw lots of natives that would be great for a dry sandy garden: pine-barren gentian, pineland dayflower, Carolina sandwort, Carolina pineland-cress, and Savanna elephant's-foot, and that's for starters.
Eastern Sensitive-brier (Mimosa microphylla), so called because the leaves curl up closed when touched.
Sandhill Scurfpea is a wispy little legume with the tiny blue-violet pea flowers and thread like leaves.
I could not however ascertain the identity of the plant below with the fuzzy gray-green flowers or seedpods.
Thank you Gail at clay and limestone for hosting Wildflower Wednesday.

AAA Caroliinas
Higher gas prices and the most congestion on the highways in the last 10 years are this year's Christmas Grinch for South Carolina motorists.
Gas prices are up 40 cents statewide since last year and approaching $3 per gallon and highway travel is expected to increase 3 percent compared to last year, according to AAA Carolinas.
A record 93 percent of those traveling in the state are expected to drive to their destination.
This represents the busiest Christmas travel holiday for South Carolina roads on record.
The employment picture in Lancaster County may be looking brighter, as several local companies have plans to create hundreds of new jobs over the next year.
The county has been dogged for many months by a double-digit jobless rate that has consistently ranked the county in the top 10 for unemployment in South Carolina. In November, the county's jobless rate increased to 15.0 percent, up from 14.2 percent in October, according to figures released Friday from the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce.
A Lancaster man was attacked with a hammer during an attempted robbery last week.
Police officers found the 42-year-old Sara Drive resident bleeding profusely from his forehead and nose Friday after they responded to a burglary call, according to a Lancaster Police Department incident report.
A 20-year-old man, who also lives at the home, called police to report the attack. He led officers to the victim, who was sitting on the edge of a bed, the report said. Officers immediately called Lancaster County Emergency Medical Services, who took the victim to the hospital.
Mmmm, Mmmm. Yum.
Walk into Sylvia Hinson's bakery in Elgin, and you might just say something like that.
The scent in the air is no Yankee Candle. It's the real deal – freshly baked gingerbread cookies.
And there they are – neatly packed boxes of gingerbread men and women on shelves just to the right of the front door.
Hinson has been baking.
And baking.
And baking.
From the modest looks of this quaint cinderblock shop, you might not think its owner could ever be so busy. But in this case, looks deceive.
Nobody was saying much Tuesday about a major community outreach effort planned for today.
Several Lancaster County residents have been working together over the last few weeks to sponsor a lunch for anyone who wants to come. The lunch will be served today staring at 11 a.m. at 113 1/2 Pleasant Hill St., Lancaster.
The goal is to feed 1,000 people, said Brad Small, one of the organizers.
"This is open to anybody that finds out about it," Small said. "Hopefully, we'll have enough food to feed them."
A Lancaster woman was robbed at gunpoint Monday night as she was walked into the Lancaster Bowling Center.
The robbery happened at about 7:32 p.m. as the woman was entering the bowling center at 1353 Lymon Reece Road. She told deputies that a man approached her, pulled out a revolver and demanded money.
After giving the man an undisclosed amount of cash, he ran behind the bowling alley, according to a sheriff's office press release.
KERSHAW – Counterfeit money was found on a man after deputies arrested him for stealing money from a high school change machine Saturday.
Marcus Jerome Harris, 25, of 3600 Fork Hill Road, Kershaw, was arrested outside Andrew Jackson High School as sheriff's deputies searched the grounds for a burglar.
Deputies had responded to the school at 10:49 a.m. after an alarm went off, according to a sheriff's office incident report.
VAN WYCK – On Saturday, Christmas joy rained down on more than 50 residents of Van Wyck.
Despite cold and wet weather, Santa made his rounds of the community with helpers from the Van Wyck Health and Education Initiative, the Charlotte Road/Van Wyck Fire Department, the local community center and postmaster Betty George.
George began the holiday gift and food drive nine years ago for local residents in need. This year has been the largest effort ever, with 42 children and 18 seniors receiving food or presents.
The community continues to reach out to their neighbors in needs, though organizers of the Ward Faulkenberry Memorial Christmas Basket Fund say a lot more is needed to match last year's pace.
The popular drive brought in close to $3,000 last week, bringing the total collected this year to $6,322.
The fund, sponsored by HOPE in Lancaster, collects donations that are used to buy food vouchers for less fortunate families in Lancaster County. Recipients can use the vouches at local grocery stores.
A state law has changed how funeral processions will operate in the county.
Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile realized the need for a change after reading an opinion from state Attorney General Henry McMaster.
In his opinion, McMaster said a funeral procession can disregard traffic signals and signs only when an officer is stationed in that intersection. If no officer is stationed there, then the procession must observe all traffic lights and signs.

Volunteers are a vital part of the Wautoma Public Library helping staff to serve the public. Generally, volunteers provide support to paid staff and work on special projects. As important members of the library community, volunteers are expected to follow library policies and to present a positive customer service attitude to all patrons.
Selection of volunteers is based on a volunteer's qualifications in relations to the changing needs of the library and upon a volunteer's ability to commit to a consistent schedule of volunteer hours. Interested individuals will be asked to fill out a volunteer application and may be interviewed by the volunteer coordinator or library director or assistant library director. For the sake of the general public and children in specific, a background check will be required. Selection of volunteers is the responsibility of the director and/or volunteer coordinator. If there are no suitable volunteer positions available the application will be kept on file for a year and the applicant will be called when and if a need or project arises that fits an applicant's interests and qualifications.
The volunteer coordinator will arrange training of new volunteers and scheduling of hours. For the most part, volunteers work a two to three hour time-slot a week. Scheduling will be arranged in advance and mutually agreed upon by the volunteer coordinator and individual volunteers.
Traditionally, the library recognizes its weekly volunteers on a yearly basis at a small appreciative gathering. Other forms of recognition and appreciation may take place. The Wautoma Library can't thank its volunteers enough. Volunteers truly make a difference at the Wautoma Public Library.

John M. Clum was born August 19, 1953 in Lyons, NY, the son of two Pentecostal ministers. Early in his childhood there were signs of his creativity, but circumstances were not conducive to allowing this part of him to emerge. At the age of 16 he left the loving but strict supervision of his family in Syracuse, NY, and moved into a commune in Boston, MA. Learning of life's diversity and alternatives firsthand at an early age, he opened himself to many different religious beliefs and alternative lifestyles. He returned to Syracuse to finish High School and graduated in 1971. It was a restless time, full of enriching life experiences resulting in the resolution of major issues. In 1979 he met a wonderful man named Alan Robbins, who would...

NEW HAVEN — When a group of churchgoers met at the United Reformed Church of New Haven on Feb. 1, they discovered that kerosene had sullied their place of worship. Approximately 800 gallons of the fuel burst from a storage tank in the church's attic, dousing rooms in thick, toxic petroleum, and shutting the building down for services.
Two months later they are still dealing with the spill.

Committee Approves Roby Bill to Provide Families Greater Workplace Flexibility
The House Committee on Education and the Workforce today approved legislation introduced by U.S. Representative Martha Roby (R-AL) that will help Americans balance family and work. The Committee, chaired by Rep. John Kline (R-MN), approved the Working Families Flexibility Act of 2013 (H.R. 1406) by a vote of 23 to 14.
Rep. Roby said the legislation simply offers workers in the private sector a flexibility benefit currently only authorized for public sector, or government workers.
"Denying private businesses and workers a benefit government employees already receive is highly hypocritical," Rep. Roby said. "It is also unfair. For some workers, having extra paid time off is actually more valuable than money. And, if that's the case, why should Washington stand in the way? The Working Families Flexibility Act would finally offer working Americans in the private-sector what their peers in the public-sector already enjoy – more freedom and more control over their time so they can spend it the way they choose."
Chairman Kline, who presided over today's Committee markup meeting, praised the legislation.
"Today we've taken an important step toward providing workers the flexibility they need to better balance the needs of family and work," said Chairman Kline. "An outdated federal policy shouldn't deny workers the chance to spend more time with their children, attend parent-teacher conferences, or care for an aging relative. This is a commonsense proposal that is desperately needed in today's workplaces. I want to thank Representative Roby for championing this important legislation and I look forward to a floor debate in the House as soon as possible."
The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 requires covered employees to receive an overtime rate of "time-and-a-half" for hours worked over 40 within a work week. The law mandates overtime compensation for private-sector workers in the form of cash wages and prohibits these workers from choosing paid time off instead. The law has become an impediment to employers who want to help employees manage work and family responsibilities.
As approved by the committee, H.R. 1406 will:
• Allow employers to offer employees a choice between cash wages and comp time for overtime hours worked. Employees who want to receive cash wages would continue to do so. No employee can be forced to take comp time instead of receiving overtime pay.
• Protect employees by requiring the employer and the employee to complete a written agreement to use comp time, entered into knowingly and voluntarily by the employee. Where the employee is represented by a union, the agreement to take comp time must be part of the collective bargaining agreement negotiated between the union and the employer.
• Retain all existing employee protections in current law, including the 40 hour work week and how overtime compensation is accrued. The bill adds additional safeguards for workers to ensure the choice and use of comp time are truly voluntary.
• Allow employees to accrue up to 160 hours of comp time each year. An employer would be required to pay cash wages for any unused time at the end of the year. Workers are free to 'cash out' their accrued comp time whenever they choose to do so.

Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas has stated his belief that Gareth Bale is "most effective" as a striker ahead of his side's Europa League clash with Basel on Thursday.
With Emmanuel Adebayor unable to find the net in the Premier League since New Years' Day and Jermain Defoe sidelined for up to 10 days with a groin injury, the Portuguese tactician appears set to start his star winger up front against the Swiss outfit.
And with the Welshman having scored 12 goals in all competitions so far in 2013, Villas-Boas has expressed his confidence in Bale's ability to play in a centre-forward role.
"With his run of form, as a striker he is most effective," the 35-year-old coach told The Daily Mirror.
"He is extremely comfortable playing as a striker. The more he plays there the more he is likely to be helping the team."
Villas-Boas also spoke highly of his side's quarter-final opponents, citing the reigning Swiss Super League title holders' Champions League experience as a particular danger facing his side.
"Basel have European experience that we don't have," he continued. "They have had tremendous results against United, Sporting and Bayern - teams they have surprised.
"The quarter-finalists are all difficult teams to play because all eight teams believe they can win the trophy. The key to the game will be the motivation of the teams and the quality of the individuals.
"You have to admit we have superior players but their recent European experience in the Champions League makes them also one of the favourites."

BRAWLEY - The Brawley Bypass Project in Imperial County is expected to open to motorists Tuesday. The new bypass will relieve area traffic congestion and improve the flow of international goods between California and Mexico by providing an alternate route for commercial trucks and motorists around Brawley.
This project not only reduces commercial truck congestion on Brawley's streets, it also completes a critical link in the transportation corridor that moves goods to Los Angeles and the rest of the nation," said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty.
Almost 37 million vehicle trips are made annually between the Imperial Valley and Mexico. About 2,500 to 3,000 trucks a day are expected to use the new bypass in 2013.
The project constructed eight miles of a four-lane divided expressway around the city of Brawley from State Route 86 north of Brawley to south of the eastern junction of State Route 78 and State Route 111. New bridges were also added at the New River and Union Pacific Railroad crossings along with an interchange at the junction of SR-78 and SR-111 and accommodations for future expansion of the Brawley Airport.
The $236 million project received $133 million from Proposition 1B, a 2006 voter-approved transportation bond.

Some island nations are already looking to move their people to higher ground, even purchasing land elsewhere in preparation. In the U.S. Northwest, sea-level rise is forcing a Native American tribe to consider abandoning lands it has inhabited for thousands of years. Pacific Northwest Suffers After China Bans Shellfish Imports By Ashley Ahearn • Dec 26, 2013 China has closed its doors to all shellfish imports from an area that stretches from northern California to Alaska. The state of Washington says it's losing as much as $600,000 a week. Among the shellfish not being harvested is the geoduck, a long-necked clam that can fetch up to $150 per pound in China. It's a major export for the Pacific Northwest. Climate Change Could Spell Final 'Chuckle' For Alpine Frog By Ashley Ahearn • Aug 7, 2013 Across the Western U.S., yearly areas of snowpack are decreasing, and researchers are trying to figure out what that means for everything that relies on the snowmelt — from farms to power plants to a little creature known as the Cascades frog. To Catch A Marten: Seeking Clues In Olympic National Forest By Ashley Ahearn • Jan 21, 2013 It's about 25 degrees on a clear Saturday morning when Gregg Treinish — executive director of Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation, a nonprofit that puts volunteers to work gathering data for scientists around the world — gathers a small group of outdoor adventurers around him near the Duckabush River in the Olympic National Forest in Washington state. What Killed Orca Victoria? Some Point To Naval Tests By Ashley Ahearn • May 16, 2012 Few people know the orcas of Puget Sound as well as Ken Balcomb. A researcher with the Center for Whale Research on Washington state's San Juan Island, Balcomb has been studying the whales for more than 30 years. It takes Balcomb only a few seconds of listening to the squeaks and whistles of underwater whale recordings to recognize the different pods of orcas. In one recording, Balcomb identifies the group known as the L Pod — the family many people in the area are talking about right now. Battling 'Red Tide,' Scientists Map Toxic Algae To Prevent Shellfish Poisoning By Ashley Ahearn • Mar 28, 2012 Public health officials have their hands full keeping your clam chowder and raw oysters safe. That's due, in part, to red tides. Red tides happen nearly every year as coastal waters warm, killing fish and poisoning shellfish along U.S. coasts. They're not actually tides; they're huge blooms of naturally occurring toxic algae.

Short of Stompin' Tom Connors showing up in your living rooms for a "Good Old Hockey Game" jam session during the intermission on Hockey Night in Canada, there is really no less Canadian a musical experience than a Gordon Lightfoot show. The septuagenarian singer/songwriter, the manly-man plus ultra of Hinterland folk, is legend for a reason- few have done more to elegantly and artfully chronicle the history of the land and the peoples of our fair nation, and it is for this reason that throngs packed the Centre In Vancouver for the Performing Arts for the first of two nights with Lightfoot in Vancouver.
The remarkably fit and whippet-thin legend, clad in a blue velour bolero and what appeared to be a pair of grey Levi's, ambled out in front of the mostly sixtysomething audience with little fanfare, launching into "Cotton Jenny" with a subdued back-up band of four.
Grey hair slicked back, Lightfoot, who tours rarely, seemed bent on a sedate evening, with the backing bass, drums, and keys all but a whisper. Indeed, for the first few songs, the wonderful "Carefree Highway" included, even those in the first rows could barely hear the singer himself.
Things got a little better after a few whispers to the soundman, and Lightfoot appeared to lighten up, cracking the kind of fabulously corny jokes that only 70-year-old men can get away with ("How long is the hair on a rabbit?" "About three seconds").
However quiet the sound, and however aged the man and the crowd (one was complied to wonder: where were the young hipsters in love with Canada's musical poet laureate?), there was no denying the pure power of Lightfoot and a guitar. The eternally groove-able "Sundown" stood the test of time and then some, as did the AM Gold hit "Rainy Day People."
But where Lightfoot has always shone is as a chronicler of Canadian history. "The Wreck of The Edmond Fitzgerald", no matter how many times you've heard it on CISL-650, still holds an incredible sentimental draw, as does Lightfoot's famous "Canadian Railroad Trilogy", which for anyone who has ever contemplated a trip cross-country on the CP, still draws goosebumps.
Indeed, the evening was more a late-night reverie with Canadiana than it was a rocking concert. Eyes closed reverently with each uncovered gem- not just the hits, but b-sides and forgotten tracks that stand confidently aside Lightfoot's most famous tunes, the audience seemed more on a pilgrimage than at a concert. It was a love-in of the highest order, and indeed, no less than Mr. David Suzuki could be seen in the third row, gently bobbing his full head of white hair to "In My Fashion".
Some of us in the crowd may have wished the sound could've been cranked a little louder, but in the end, you must bow to the will of the man. If he could read our mind, he might have cranked up the juice, but the audience was perfectly content to bear witness to the legend's own mind, an archive of beautifully-written songs that both define a nation's history and, as Lightfoot himself quipped, set your toes tapping.

Floral You're So Special
For today I wanted to pop in here and share a card I made using the super fun Tuesday Trigger Cath has up over at the Moxie Fab World blog! I was able to get a few new Hero Arts stamps yesterday and knew that that flower was perfect for HA new stamp set, Layered Flowers.
I heat embossed my floral images with white embossing powder, added a little shading with Copic markers, cut them out and adhered them to my card front.
I stamped my sentiment onto white cardstock, cut it out and popped it up with foam.
Lastly, I added a little bling to the middle of the flowers! I hope you've enjoyed my little card today. Have a fantastic day!
Supplies used:
Paper: White, Plum Pudding, Hawaiian Shores, Orange Zest Papertrey Ink
Stamps: Layered Flowers, Messages Hero Arts
Ink: Versamark Tsukineko, True Black Papertrey Ink, Copic Markers
Embellishment: Clear Rhinestones Me & My Big Ideas
Tools: White Embossing Powder Hampton Art

C. B. Moore Elected AGU Fellow, Feb. 7, 2005
by George Zamora
SOCORRO, N.M., Feb. 7, 2005 – Charles B. "Charlie" Moore, a professor emeritus of atmospheric physics at New Mexico Tech, has been elected as a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU).
One of the few honors that AGU confers, Fellowship is awarded to scientists who have attained acknowledged eminence in one or more of the various branches of geophysics. The number of Fellows elected each year is limited by the AGU to no more than one-tenth of one percent of its membership, which comprises more than 41,000 scientists from about 130 countries.
Among his numerous scientific accomplishments in a research career which spans almost 60 years, Moore believes it was his recent work on improving configurations of lightning rods first developed by Benjamin Franklin that gained him the international attention of the AGU.
"I was quite surprised to find out about this award just a few days ago," Moore relates. "It was something that was totally unexpected."
In 1997, Moore was named the recipient of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Otto C. Winzen Lifetime Achievement Award for his
pioneering work in using free-flight, high-altitude balloons for scientific research.
Moore also has made significant contributions in the investigations of fundamental theories of lightning and other atmospheric electricity activity during his long association with New Mexico Tech and the university's internationally recognized research facility for lightning and cloud physics studies, the Langmuir Laboratory for Atmospheric Research.
He served as chairman of Langmuir Lab from 1968 to 1986.
Moore and his other recently elected AGU Fellows will be officially presented with their certificates and awards on May 25, during the annual AGU Joint Assembly in New Orleans.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown on Wednesday is expected to propose spending nearly $700 million to provide immediate help for communities coping with California's drought.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown on Wednesday is expected to propose spending nearly $700 million to provide immediate help for communities coping with California's drought.
A news conference is scheduled in the afternoon to discuss details of the plan, which has not been released. It is expected to expand on a proposal originally sought by Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg.
Steinberg and Assembly Speaker John Perez, both Democrats, will attend, according to an announcement from the governor's office. A spokesman for Perez, John Vigna, told The Associated Press that the total cost would be roughly $680 million, but the plan does not attempt to address long-term solutions for California's water supply or delivery system.
"This is not going to solve the drought crisis," Vigna said. "It's essentially a package to address immediate effects of the drought."
Neither the governor's office nor the legislative leaders released details.
Earlier this year, Steinberg spoke generally about using existing voter-approved bond money for a variety of immediate needs. That would include providing drinking water to communities where supplies are running short and boosting water-conservation efforts.
"The drought is now, and we ought to do everything we can and appropriate any existing dollars we have available as soon as possible to help local communities deal with the drought," Steinberg told reporters last month in the Capitol as he began discussions on the proposal. "We're talking about there are unexpended resources from previously passed water and environmental bonds that could be put to use to help local communities deal with the short-term impacts of the drought."
Lawmakers still need to negotiate changes to an $11.1 billion water bond that is on the November ballot, a measure that is supposed to provide the longer-term fixes sought by farmers and cities.
A spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Bob Huff, R-Diamond Bar, said he supports a proposal by Republican state Sens. Anthony Cannella of Ceres and Andy Vidak of Hanford. They want to replace the current water bond, which originally was placed on the ballot in 2009 and has been pushed back several times, with a $9.2 billion measure.
Republican lawmakers were not included in the news conference announced by the governor's office. A spokeswoman for Assembly Minority Leader Connie Conway, R-Tulare, said she would comment after details of the Democratic plan are released later Wednesday.
Most parts of California are under extreme drought conditions after three winters with below-normal rain and snowfall. As many as 17 communities are at risk of running out of drinking water in the months ahead, and farmers throughout the state have been fallowing fields and tearing up orchards.
The State Water Project, which supplies water to 25 million Californians and about 750,000 acres of farmland, will deliver no additional water later this year to its customers, the first time in its 54-year history that it has given a so-called zero allocation. That could change if precipitation picks up in the weeks ahead.

Rock Hill's 'Zebra Girl' pleads guilty in gunrunning case
"Zebra Girl" is now wearing prison stripes.
Kendall Danielle Jones, 23, of Rock Hill, dubbed "Zebra Girl" by undercover police, is the first Rock Hill defendant to be found guilty in the largest seizure of guns in New York City history.
Jones, who carried an assault rifle in a black-and-white striped suitcase from Rock Hill to New York City aboard a packed bus, has pleaded guilty to three felony weapons charges and has been sentenced to four years in prison.
That could mean the rest of the Rock Hill gunrunners charged as part of what police and prosecutors call an "Iron Pipeline" of weapons to New York soon will face even longer sentences if found guilty.
Taylor Vogt, spokeswoman for the New York State Department of Corrections, said Jones pleaded guilty to avoid facing trial on more charges for which she faced as many as 20 years in prison.
In one of the alleged gun sales, Jones consulted a video on her cellphone as she tried to assemble an assault rifle at 8:10 a.m. at the busy corner of Grand and Chrystie streets near Chinatown in New York City, as thousands of commuters walked by on their way to their jobs.
It is unclear what role, if any, Jones will play in the prosecution of the seven other defendants from Rock Hill who were arrested a year ago this week in a sweeping dragnet that netted hundreds of weapons. Prosecutors with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office said there was no mention in Jones' plea of any cooperation she might give in the cases of her co-defendants.
Since the arrests last summer, York County has not seen major gun arrests or other ongoing plots, officials with the York County Multijurisdictional Drug Enforcement Unit said. The pipeline of guns and ammunition from South Carolina, which has more lax gun laws than New York, seemed to end with the arrests in Rock Hill.
"We've had gun seizures, but nothing of this magnitude and nothing where it appears that the destination for the guns was a place like New York, where purchase and possession laws are different," said Sgt. Allen Cantey, one of the York County drug unit supervisors who helped New York police in the sting.
The scheme that ran in 2012 and 2013 was simple: Buy the guns in York County, where guns are relatively inexpensive, and take them by bus to New York, where gun possession is largely illegal and prices on the street are sky-high. Police informants used video and audio surveillance, cellphone wiretaps and undercover officers to infiltrate the plot. An alleged cell of gunrunners from North Carolina also was charged. Nineteen people were arrested.
The alleged Rock Hill gunrunners were the most brazen, however. Jones took several trips to New York aboard a bus to Chinatown with her boyfriend, Earl Campbell, 24, of Rock Hill. Campbell is the alleged mastermind of the plot. Police say he received more than $75,000 from undercover cops to sell them 90 guns – ranging from pistols to assault rifles – and "cop-killer" bullets. Campbell met with undercover cops for street buys at least two dozen times, according to court records.
Campbell, who remains jailed in New York, faces more than 200 felony counts that could result in a life prison term upon conviction. He has rejected an offer from prosecutors to plead guilty in exchange for a 30-year prison sentence, court records show, and he is next scheduled to appear in court Sept. 5.
Six other Rock Hill residents were charged as gun brokers in connection to the alleged gunrunning ring:
Larick Michaux, 27, a convicted felon banned from possessing guns, remains jailed after allegedly brokering gun deals and arguing with Campbell over gun profits.
Warquisha "Choppers" Michaux, 29, Larick Michaux's sister, also is in a New York jail. Police gave her the nickname "Choppers" because of a favorite gun that she bragged about.
Arthur Barber, 27; Marcell Dyess, 22; Chris Hill, 25; and Brandon Potts, 25.
All are scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 5.

The transition to an omni-channel retail business model raises an opportunity for savvy retail brands to continue growing in a market that has otherwise stagnated. Omni-channel focuses on positioning the customer at the centre of attention and leveraging technology and data to drive loyalty and customer retention. The integration of data is imperative to the success of this model, ensuring all touch points have the same customer view. The ubiquitous rise of mobile and tablet has opened a whole new opportunity for retailers to communicate with the connected consumer. With many clients now seeing mobile making up over 40% of their site traffic, it's surprising how many retailers have been caught without a mobile solution.
