Any fourth-grader can tell you that facial features contort easily with scotch tape. But commercial photographer Wes Naman took it to a whole new level with his Scotch Tape series.
First reported on by Wired, Naman's series of monstrous faces stemmed from a silly encounter with his assistant as they were wrapping Christmas presents together. She stuck a piece of scotch tape to her nose, and Naman did the same to his lips. After seeing their faces in the mirror, the idea for the Scotch Tape project was born.
A year later, Naman began taking portraits of his friends' faces made completely unrecognizable by the common household product.
Though the project was done solely as a way for Naman to be creative outside of his commercial day job, that doesn't mean the series might not make its way into the advertising world. According to Wired:
Before Naman had even finished the Scotch Tape series he was already in talks with a local Albuquerque add agency that saw the photos and wanted to possibly pitch them for a corporate campaign. Some of the ideas tossed around include selling the series to an office supply store or maybe a plastic surgery office with a slogan that might go something like, "You can trust those guys or you can come here."

TELL CITY - John Elliott has resigned as Tell City's football coach after three years at the helm.
Elliott, 51, said Sunday the reason he is resigning is "a long story. It's a complicated decision. It's just probably time. I still live over here (in Evansville) and drive (to Tell City) every day. We'd probably taken the program as far as we could under the current conditions."
Besides the long drive, he said he "didn't feel the commitment was there from the administration to take the football program to the next level.

animal fat in new fiversDiscussion on living for a better and more responsible future

animal fat in new fivers
An interesting article on the new fiver containing animal products. I was alerted to this by an old naval acquaintance, who, due to her stance on all things animal (she is a vegan)is now apparently refusing to accept this note in her change. It turns out that the disposable plastic carrier bags (another thread by Lord O' the Lane) also contain animal fat as do numerous other plastic items... food for thought (excuse the pun) for those opposed to the slaughter and use of animals and animal products.

Re: animal fat in new fivers
I have read that they are going to make new £10 notes in the same way, so that will make it difficult for vegans. I don't like the idea very much, but I am not disciplined enough to be vegan.
Re: animal fat in new fivers
from wikipedia
Sources of stearic acid
Re: animal fat in new fivers
Vegan is all very well, but I suspect things are more complicated than that.
If we live a modern lifestyle we have huge impact on the natural world. Even a simple lifestyle denies animals e.g. the use of the land we grow our veggies on.
And I suspect that most of the things we use are made without considering vegan principles.

Re: animal fat in new fivers
Wonder how many vegans burn candles with stearic crystals in?
They were an ingredient to add to homemade candles. (in a candle making kit).
Not vegan or veggie so doesn't really bother me, but surprising that a synthetic alternative wasn't used.
As for Scotland saying theirs a veggie friendly, what are they using?
Re: animal fat in new fivers
I am not vegetarian, but I am quite surprised that animal products are used in £5 notes. Mind you, if they are leftover from the food industry and would otherwise be thrown away, then it seems a bit more justified.

Re: animal fat in new fivers
I'd just like to say that for those "Laners"who are having ethical difficulties with the new £5 note, in the spirit of friendship, I offer to buy all their new issue fivers for £3.50 each (less postage, of course)
Don't all rush now......
Re: animal fat in new fivers
Very good Gwiz
I think there was a Forum Member a few years back who said they were absolutely, without any doubt whatsoever, never had any contact, brought anything, just 100% Vegan.
Have to say I can't see that myself, but everyone to their own !
Re: animal fat in new fivers
At the end of the day, after the stearic acid has been purified to use in other products, it won't have any other biological component to it. So not so much animal "by-product" but animal "source" might be a better way to describe it.
Re: animal fat in new fivers
I was reading an article on the book of face earlier, Ok it was dubious source but it was interesting. The actual amount of animal residue would equate to less than the left over material from less than half a beef cow to produce every note in circulation. The outpouring of disgust however is surprising, more people had signed the petition to remove the animal content than had signed to stop the badger cull or ban the ivory trade in the UK. It must also be considered that the average paper fiver will have more animal fats in it if it has been handled by someone who has just eaten a burger.

Re: animal fat in new fivers
If you can't be a good example........
you will just have to be a horrible warning
Re: animal fat in new fivers
If people are unwilling to use the new five and soon to be released ten pound notes there will be a heavy demand for wheelbarrows so these people can wheel their one and two pound coins around with them to pay for things.
Any entrepreneurs out there who wish to start up a new business??
No offence intended to anyone but I have two wheel barrows for sale, any offers???

How to Grow Tomatoes in New+bern,+north+carolina,+united+states+of+america
How to grow tomatoes: Most gardeners grow tomatoes from seedling or plant. They start growing tomatoes indoors (inside home or greenhouse) and then they transplant the tomato seedlings outside when temperatures are suitable for tomato growth.
Tomatoes require 60-110 days to be ready for harvest from seed, depending on the tomato variety and the weather during the growing season.
Optimal air temperature for growing tomatoes is between 69°F (20.5°C) and 76°F (24.4°C). Optimal night temperatures are between 60°F (15.5°C) and 65°F (18.3°C). Tomatoes can endure air temperatures as low as 55°F (12.7°C) during the night and up to 90°F (32.2°C) during the day.
Soil temperature during tomato growth should be between 65°F (18.3°C) and 75°F (23.8°C) in optimal conditions, but can withstand soil temperatures as low as 60°F (15.5°C).
Required soil pH for tomato growth is 5.7-7.3 but the optimal pH is 6.1-6.8. What is pH and why is it important?
Though tomatoes are an ideal summer crop they do suffer under prolonged conditions over 90°F (32.2°C) in direct sunlight. Consistently hot weather will not kill existing tomatoes on the plant, but will kill the pollen on the flowers needed to create new tomatoes.
Water between 1-1.5 inches of water per week, adjusting for weather conditions and type of soil accordingly. Tomatoes should not be watered at night, but rather during the day, specifically during the morning. Water left on the tomato plant overnight can cause disease.
Very few gardeners directly plant tomatoes outside in the garden. Most gardeners will wait to transplant seedling into the garden when they are about 6-8 weeks old. Seedling are still delicate at this stage so if there is threat of frost do apply protective cover.
About tomatoes: So, you're interested in growing tomatoes, great choice! Tomatoes are the backbone of a complete garden, and they're one of the funnest vegetables to harvest, not to mention the tastiest.
Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown in US gardens, growing in 93% of American gardens. However, this was not always the case. Up until the mid-1800's most Americans believed that tomatoes are poisonous and folklore saying that tomatoes will turn your blood to acid. Much of this belief was based on the fact that tomatoes belong to the Solanaceae family which includes poisonous plants. So up until the mid-1800's tomatoes were grown by Europeans solely for decorative purposes.
Tomatoes are dated back to the Aztecs in 700 AD, and are thought to have originated in the Americas, around what is today modern day Peru. Today there are an estimated 10,000 different varieties grown around the world, and some estimating that number to be closer to 25,000 varieties. That's a whole lot!
So what is it, a fruit or a vegetable? Most people commonly regard the tomato as a vegetable, but it is actually a fruit. This dispute even reached the U.S. Supreme Court in 1893 as a result of a tariff imposed on vegetables, but not on fruit.
The Supreme Court determined that botanically speaking it is a fruit, but considered by most a vegetable, and placed the tariff on tomatoes as well.
Tomato classification: Tomatoes are classified into many different groups and categories. They are classified by color, size, shape, firmness and days to maturity. Another way tomatoes are classified is by their growth habit.
The short bushy type tomato plants are called determinate tomatoes, or simply bush tomatoes. The taller tomato plants are called determinate tomatoes, also called vine tomatoes.
Determinate, or bush tomatoes, are usually only 2-3 feet tall, and will produce fruit over a 2-5 week time period, usually all at the same time. Indeterminate tomatoes grow to about 6 feet tall, sometimes even taller, and produce fruit throughout the growing season. Indeterminate tomato plants will require staking to support the weight of the plant. Determinate tomato plants don't need to be supported, though it couldn't hurt. Determinate tomatoes plants do not need pruning, but indeterminates are better off pruned. Most of the heirloom types are the indeterminate varieties.
How do I know if I have a determinate or indeterminate tomato plant? You can tell by the size of the plant. Determinate varieties are only about 2-3 feet tall. Indeterminate varieties grow to about 6 feet and higher.
Another way to know whether you have a determinate or indeterminate variety is by how many flowers there are in various growth stages. Determinate tomato varieties stop growing when the plants start to flower, and they all flower nearly at the same time. They then set fruit and ripen nearly at the same time. On indeterminate tomato plants one can observe flowers and fruit in their different development stages all growing on the plant. Indeterminate tomato plants can grow and produce fruit up until the first frost.

Tomato Germination Guide
(Stage 1: Germination)
Germination is the process by which a plant grows from a seed. It is the first stage of the plant growing process and it begins when the seed is sown and ends when the radicale emerges out of the seed.
All seeds require proper soil temperature, moisture, air and light conditions to germinate successfully. However, during the germination stage the seeds require more soil warmth and moisture than light exposure.
Seeds respire just like any other living organism, requiring oxygen and producing carbon dioxide (CO2), so it is crucial to use a soil media that is sufficiently aerated so that the seeds do not "suffocate".
11% of our growing experts recommend to directly sow tomato seeds into the ground. What is direct sowing and why do I care about it?

Tomato Growing Guide
(Stages 2-5: Growth)
Once seed has germinated and radicale has emerged the second stage of the plant growing process begins, developing from radicale to cotyledon -the embryonic first leaves of the seed forming a young seedling.
During the third stage of plant development cotyledon develops to 3-4 true leaves, stem begins to grow, becoming a mature seedling.
In the fourth stage the mature seedling develops to a young plant, ready for transplanting.
The fifth stage of plant development the plant is fully mature bearing fruit and/or flower.
The following guidelines apply to all of the tomato plants' needs during stages 2-5 from radicale emergence to full maturity. During these stages sunlight becomes a more active participant in plant growth and development than in the germination phase.
Soil pH is an important factor during these stages as well. What is pH and why is it important?

Growing tomatoes, or any other vegetable for that matter, is not hard, however some plants require more attention and care than others depending on the following factors:
Are you starting to grow your plant from seed? seedling? young plant? Depending on what stage plant you choose to plant will impact growing difficulty and patience.
The length of the growing season for your exact garden location.
If you have a short growing season and you want to start growing from seed then you may need to start the growing process in a sheltered environment (greenhouse or inside your home) which will require more involvement in the growing process.
Whether you direct sow in the garden or start in trays and then transplant also affects the level of difficulty
Growing difficulty level - 0
Growing patience level - 0

So you think we came from monkeys
The retort "'So you think we came from monkeys?" usually are derived from the misunderstanding or intentional distortion of scientific conclusions. They are examples of straw man fallacies, as well as prime examples of appeal to emotion and wishful thinking at their core: Reality and Facts are NOT about what we desire to be true. One famous usage was in the 1860 Wilberforce-Huxley debate:
- "[Bishop Wilberforce] chafed him and asked whether he had a preference for the descent being on the father's side or the mother's side?"
We came from pond soup[edit]
This retort refers to the theory of abiogenesis, the theory that life originated from non-living matter. This theory often is interpreted by the apologist to mean that there existed a single small pond wherein amino acids were formed by electricity, such as from lightning. This description, for reasons that are unclear, condescendingly refers to mixtures of elements and compounds in this hypothetical pool as "soup". Are the ocean, rain puddles, and lakes also comprised of "soup"? Clearly, the phrase "pond soup" is meant as a rhetorical tactic and not a reasonable description of the theory. Also, the notion that there was a single pond that spawned life is probably missing the point of the theory; there would have existed innumerable environments across earth in which different reactions occurred under different conditions, vastly increasing the probability that self-replicating compounds might arise. All the "hopes" for the future of life did not rest in a single pond.
Furthermore, the Miller-Urey experiment on the chemical origins of life demonstrated that organic compounds forming the building blocks for life on Earth can be synthesized naturally through chemical reactions. It provided evidence in support of abiogenesis, because in showed that natural processes facilitate readily-available complex molecules that plausibly form precursors to life. Of course, this does not imply that such molecules were intended to create life, but that any early life arising would necessarily incorporate such molecules. Rejecting the theory of abiogenesis based on the retort, "You think we came from pond soup," utterly misses the evidence for the theory in favor of sloganeering.
We came from dirt/rocks/clay[edit]
This retort also refers to the theory of abiogenesis. It suffers from the same shortcomings as the 'pond soup' retort, namely the strong evidence that components for life arise from nonliving matter through purely natural means.
If the theist is a Biblical literalist, the atheist could point out that the book of Genesis says that God made man from dirt. However, such a statement doesn't do much to advance the breadth or depth of the discussion. It does however show the hypocrisy and Special pleading in the theist's argument, seeing their own "version" of the same claim as better than that of others.
We came from nothing[edit]
Typically, this version of the retort is in reference to the Big Bang. It has been used by apologists, such as Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron, who featured it in an episode of their television series, "The Way of the Master." The retort is generally used flippantly, without evidence of real understanding. Since science does not yet have any answers about what happened before the Big Bang, the intellectually honest position taken by most atheists and most scientists is, "I don't know." If a fellow atheist does invoke the Big Bang as evidence for something from nothing, it is appropriate to question his or her understanding of the theory.
The Big Bang is often misinterpreted as a "something from nothing" proposition. In fact, the Big Bang doesn't suggest any particular origin for the singularity, the infinitely dense and hot point of matter from which the universe was born. Some physicists, such as Victor Stenger, have developed hypotheses about how the universe could represent "something from nothing", but such hypotheses are not yet tested. In reality, the Big Bang theory 1) is limited to the measurable universe, and makes no claims about "before" the measurable universe, and 2) is based on the uncontroversial observation that the universe appears to be expanding from a point since the beginning of time. Ultimately, it is difficult to argue that something had to exist "before" the big bang, as space and time began with the Big Bang. "Before" and "after" and "cause and effect" are notions necessarily applied within our space-time. Is there a reason to believe such notions as "something can't come from nothing" can be applied effectively to "pre"-Big Bang?
To assert that the Big Bang absurdly represents something from nothing but God reasonably represents something from something is to grossly misunderstand both the Big Bang theory and the philosophical problems of the origins of God. The atheist can point out that all attempts to understand the origin of existence requires "something from nothing", including the existence of God himself.
Abiogenesis and Evolution are also occasionally misunderstood to be "something from nothing" concepts, but they absolutely are not. Any theory that invokes natural/physical explanations and is confined to the matter of the existing universe is not a "something from nothing" proposition.
If we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?[edit]
This version of the retort refers to evolution, especially the origins of the human species. A common misconception about evolution is that we evolved from the monkeys and apes we see today. This ignorance forms the basis for the question, "If we evolved from monkeys and apes, then why are there still monkeys and apes?"[1]
Part of the difficulty of this issue is definitional. "Monkeys" and "Apes" describe families on the primate branch of the evolutionary tree of life on Earth. Modern Homo sapiens, along with gorillas, chimpanzees, and other apes, belong to the "Great Ape" family (also known as Hominidae). These species are more closely related to one another than they are to any other species on Earth, based on overwhelming evidence. Therefore, it is clear that all the apes share a common ancestor in the past, and that all the apes plus all the monkeys together share a common ancestor even further back. This common ancestor to apes and monkeys was NOT any of the primates that exist today, but a species that was ancestral to all the modern apes and monkeys.
In essence, the various species of apes and monkeys can be thought of colloquially as "cousins". A person who exists today, upon hearing they are related to their cousins, would not think to retort, "You think I came from my cousins?" Likewise, a person, upon hearing that humans are related to their evolutionary cousins, would be mistaken to retort, "You think I came from my evolutionary cousins?" If a theist wants to challenge the view that humans share a common ancestor with other primates, he or she should first understand the nature of the claim and the evidence available to support it. This retort demonstrates that the claimant understands neither.
Something that creationists are incorrect about is their view that evolutionary change occurs in a straight line of descent, like a ladder of progress from the oldest species to the newest species. In reality, diversification of species is more appropriately seen as a branching process instead of a ladder-like process. Therefore, evolutionary relationships are depicted as "trees" showing the relationships between all the different organisms on Earth. Modern humans, monkeys, and apes evolved from different common ancestors that branched off to form a tree of species, in different families, in which we are included.
There are approximately 5,400 known species of mammals on the planet, all of which can be traced back to original mammal lineages arising and flourishing after the reptiles were apparently decimated by the effects of a comet or asteroid that impacted the earth some 65 million years ago. Primates can be traced to a single lineage that branched off from the other mammal lineages around this time. Over time, the primate lineage diversified, and species went extinct while others didn't. After humans, chimpanzees, and bonobos became distinct groups derived from their shared common ancestor, several additional species of hominids arose in the Homo genus, such as Homo erectus, Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens. Out of those nine species, only one avoided extinction: Homo sapiens (humans). Ours is a remarkable story of evolutionary change and survival spanning eras. "You think we came from monkeys/apes" utterly misses out on all that evolutionary biology has shown us about who we are and where we come from.
Similar counter-retorts
The following questions mirror the logic or understanding of this retort. There are two groups of arguments.
Group 1 are those arguments that assume members of a group come from their modern relatives:
- If I came from cousins, why do my cousins still exist?
- If the English language came from German, why do people still speak German?
Group 2 are those arguments that imply all members of a group must change in unison:
- If dogs are domesticated from wolves, why do wolves still exist?
- If corn is domesticated from a grass, why does grass still exist?
- If Americans came from Europe, why are there still Europeans?
- [if they believe the Genesis creation myth:] If women came from a rib, why are there still ribs? If man came from dirt, why is there still dirt?
No shame in being an ape[edit]
This argument is often based on the supposed shame of being related to a monkey. A classic rebuttal was made reportedly made by Thomas Henry Huxley in the 1860 Oxford evolution debate, arguing he was more ashamed of being related to deceptive human apologists:
- "I asserted–and I repeat–that a man has no reason to be ashamed of having an ape for his grandfather. If there were an ancestor whom I should feel shame in recalling it would rather be a man–a man of restless and versatile intellect–who, not content with an equivocal success in his own sphere of activity, plunges into scientific questions with which he has no real acquaintance, only to obscure them by an aimless rhetoric, and distract the attention of his hearers from the real point at issue by eloquent digressions and skilled appeals to religious prejudice.[2]"
However, the exact details of the exchange are unknown and accounts of it are inconsistent. [3]

Following an announcement from the capital on Thursday, the agenda of the Montevideo City Council has been updated for Monday, May 19.
Following an announcement from the capital on Thursday, the agenda of the Montevideo City Council has been updated for Monday, May 19.
Gov. Mark Dayton has said he'll sign a deal announced by state lawkmakers yesterday, which would legalize medical cannabis in Minnesota. A move to allow medical marijuana in Minnesota has had strong bi-partisan support, but to this point Gov. Dayton has withheld support, citing enforcement concerns and health concerns.
The new law does not allow smoking of marijuana, only vaporizing the cannabis extract and ingesting pills and oils. The law also gives law enforcement more tools to go after those who violate the law, along with stricter penalties.
The drug will be available to residents diagnosed with one of ten different ailments, including: cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, Tourette syndrome, ALS, seizures, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease and other terminal illnesses. The family of eight year old Montevideo resident Katelyn Pauling hope medical marijuana will help reduce the trauma of her daily seizures.
The oil form of medical marijuana they want for their daughter has the THC removed, and cannot get her high.
Two state entities would distribute medical marijuana based on geographic need.
On Monday, the Montevideo City Council agenda will include the following item: "Consider resolution in support of the construction of a medical cannabis manufacturing and distribution facility within the city of Montevideo."
The attached resolution mentions, "The City of Montevideo has the land and infrastructure in place and (is) 'shovel-ready' to support hte construction of a manufacturing and distribution facility."
More to come after the meeting.

After the wildly-polystylistic Bienvenido Gustavo! event at Hollywood Bowl Oct. 3, the eyes and ears of the music world remained fastened upon Los Angeles Thursday night with an Inaugural Gala Concert for Gustavo Dudamel. The contrast couldn't have been more stark.
The outdoors populism of the Bowl event gave way to indoor tuxedos and gowns at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Instead of every idiom under the sun, this program contained nothing but symphonic music on a large scale: John Adams' "City Noir" (a world premiere) and Mahler's Symphony No. 1. Yet the response was the same — another eruption of near-pandemonium over the Los Angeles Philharmonic's new, dynamic, undeniably skilled, 28-year-old Venezuelan music director.
Meanwhile, the marketing of Dudamel accelerated into overdrive. The concert was carried live on radio and shown on a big screen to about 3,000 people on the Music Center Plaza (having realized that they have a rock star on their hands, this time the Phil distributed tickets to the broadcast via lottery). PBS will show it on Great Performances Oct. 21; Deutsche Grammophon releases a DVD of the concert Nov. 23, and a download of the Mahler on iTunes Oct. 20.
Was all of this presumption of a Great Performance justified?
Certainly the premiere of any major new Adams piece commands headlines, and "City Noir" added a home-field aspect since it was meant to evoke the noir atmosphere of Hollywood films of the late 1940s and '50s.
Scored for a gigantic, percussion-loaded orchestra, the 34-minute "City Noir" is supposed to be the final section of a California trilogy that includes "El Dorado" and "The Dharma At Big Sur," but it doesn't resemble either one of them. Bustling, densely packed outbursts of energy — sometimes driven by a jazzy trap drum kit — alternate with dreamy, eerie, or shimmering string soundscapes topped by alto saxophone and Billy Butterfield-like trumpet. The noisy coda seemed tailor-made for Dudamel, who likes slam-bang finishes.
While the inclusion of Adams signaled Dudamel's willingness to explore the new, the Mahler was another demonstration of his ability to electrify the old — and get any seasoned, skeptical orchestra to follow his lead.
Mahler was just about the same age as Dudamel when he wrote his First Symphony, and you could count on the young conductor to make the young composer's extroverted sections explode. Yet in a sign of rapidly-developing maturity, Dudamel could also get the lyrical music to flow and project the right sense of mystery in the opening and in later transitional passages. Only the second movement disappointed; Dudamel's eccentric tempo changes capsized its balance, though the rhythm was good when he left things alone.
Hopefully, Dudamel will continue to mature without losing his youthful pizzazz — and only then can we start making the Bernstein comparisons.

Popularity of home solar panels challenges utilities
For years, power companies have watched warily as solar panels have proliferated across the nation's rooftops. Now, in almost panicked tones, they are fighting hard to slow the spread.
Alarmed by what they say has become an existential threat to their business, utility companies are moving to roll back government incentives aimed at promoting solar energy and other renewable sources of power. At stake, the companies say, is nothing less than the future of the US power industry.
According to the Energy Information Administration, rooftop solar electricity — the economics of which often depend on government incentives and mandates — accounts for less than a quarter of 1 percent of the nation's power generation. And yet, to hear executives tell it, such power sources could ultimately threaten traditional utilities' ability to maintain the nation's grid.
"We did not get in front of this disruption," Clark Gellings, a fellow at the Electric Power Research Institute, a nonprofit arm of the industry, said during a panel discussion at the annual utility convention last month. "It may be too late."
Advocates of renewable energy — not least solar industry executives who stand to get rich from the transformation — say such statements are wildly overblown. For now, they say, the government needs to help make the economics of renewable power work for ordinary Americans. Without incentives, the young industry might wither — and with it, their own potential profits.
Nowhere, though, is the battle more heated than in California, home to the nation's largest solar market and some of the most aggressive subsidies. The outcome has the potential to set the course for solar and other renewable energies for decades to come.
At the heart of the fight is a credit system called net metering, which pays residential and commercial customers for excess renewable energy they sell back to utilities. Currently Massachusetts and 42 other states, the District of Columbia, and four territories offer a form of the incentive, according to the Energy Department.
Some keep the credit in line with the wholesale prices that utilities pay large power producers, which can be a few cents a kilowatt-hour. But in California, those payments are among the most generous because they are tied to the daytime retail rates customers pay for electricity.
California's three major utilities estimate that by the time the subsidy program fills up under its current limits, they will have to make up almost $1.4 billion a year in revenue lost to solar customers, and shift that burden to nonsolar customers. Some studies cited by solar advocates have shown, though, that the credit system can result in a net savings for the utilities.
The struggle over the California incentives is only the most recent and visible dust-up as many utilities cling to their established business, and its centralized distribution of energy, until they can figure out a new way to make money. It is a question the Obama administration is grappling with as well as it promotes the integration of more renewable energy into the grid.
Utility executives have watched disruptive technologies cause businesses in other industries to founder — just as cellphones upended the traditional land-based telephone business, producing many a management shake-up — and they want to stay ahead of a fundamental shift in the way electricity is bought, sold and delivered.
"I see an opportunity for us to re-create ourselves, just like the telecommunications industry did," Michael W. Yackira, chief executive of NV Energy, a Nevada utility, and chairman of the industry group the Edison Electric Institute, said at the institute's convention.
In California, as intended, net metering has proved a strong draw for customers. From 2010 to 2012, the amount of solar installed each year has increased 160 percent, almost doubling the amount of electricity rooftop systems can make, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. With federal tax credits and a rebate program for installation costs under the California Solar Initiative phasing out, determining how much to pay customers has become even more critical.
"Net metering right now is the only way for customers to get value for their rooftop solar systems," said Adam Browning, executive director of the advocacy group Vote Solar.

Strengthening Title IX
On April 20, Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary Duncan, and Senior White House Advisor Valerie Jarrett, Chairwoman of the White House Council on Women and Girls, announced that the Administration had issued a "Dear Colleague" letter that withdraws a 2005 interpretation of Title IX policy. Enacted in 1972, Title IX mandates that any educational institution receiving federal aid for programs and activities cannot discriminate on the basis of sex. For several decades, the Department's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has provided three options to determine whether athletic programs at schools comply with Title IX: (1) match the proportion of female athletes to the proportion of women on campus; (2) show a history and continuing practice of increasing sports for women; (3) or prove the school has met the interest and ability of women to participate in athletics. Under the third option, the 2005 ruling allowed schools to use a survey to prove a lack of athletic interest. The "Dear Colleague" letter clarifies that OCR requires schools to use multiple indicators to assess athletic interests and abilities and does not consider survey results, alone, to be sufficient evidence to justify an imbalance in women's sports. The letter also offers recommendations for effective procedures for collecting, maintaining, and evaluating information on students' interests and abilities, including technical assistance on the non-discriminatory design and implementation of surveys as one indicator among others. (Note: Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Russlynn Ali's blog entry includes links to OCR's reading room [which has the letter and questions and answers], a fact sheet, and Secretary Duncan's remarks.)
ARRA Outreach
Today, the Department officially launched the Promise Neighborhoods program, the first federal initiative to put education at the center of comprehensive efforts to fight poverty in both urban and rural areas. The $10 million in grants available this fiscal year will support non-profit organizations with one-year of funding to plan for the implementation of cradle-to-career services designed to improve educational outcomes for students within distressed neighborhoods. "The Promise Neighborhoods program brings all of the Department's strategies togetherhigh-quality early learning programs, high-quality schools, and comprehensive supportsto ensure that students are safe, healthy, and successful, Secretary Duncan said. "These services must be comprehensive, and they must put education at the center." This program is based on the experience of programs such as the Harlem Children's Zone, which serves a nearly 100-block area in New York City and has boosted student outcomes dramatically. The Department intends to make up to 20 planning grants, ranging between $400,000 and $500,000, with applications due June 25. Today's release of applications for planning grants is just the first step in a multi-year process. President Obama's Fiscal Year 2011 budget proposal includes $210 million for five-year implementation grants and more one-year planning grants. (Note: In support, the Department's Office of Innovation and Improvement (OII) will conduct several webinars. Registration is required.)
The Department has posted slides from last week's technical assistance workshops in Minneapolis for both the Race to the Top State Competition and the Race to the Top Assessment Program.
Applicants for the Investing in Innovation (i3) Fund will find new resources online to assist them with the application process, including archived informational webinars, application tips, additional addenda to the Frequently Asked Questions, an overview of the matching requirement, a revised application package (with a more user-friendly version of the required Applicant Information Sheet, as well as a notice of the new closing date: May 12), and a paper on evidence and evaluation requirements and selection criteria.
Also, 12 national foundations have committed $500 million in 2010 to leverage the Department's $650 million i3 Fund aimed at similarly aligned investments, making more than $1 billion available to help expand promising innovations in education. The foundations' investments are a continuation of long-standing efforts to foster the education innovation sector. Those efforts include programs that revamp educator training, spur integrated technology tools for teaching and learning, and create capacity for alternative high schools. While each foundation will maintain independence in determining which programs to fund, the combined resources available to non-profit organizations, state and local education agencies, traditional public schools, and public charter schools will catalyze and grow cutting-edge ideas.
In the next couple of months, the Department's Risk Management Service (RMS) will be coordinating a second series of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) technical assistance webinars. Information and registration for the 2010 RMS series will be posted shortly. Meanwhile, an ARRA webinar schedule, with links to archived ARRA webinars, is available online.
Teacher of the Year
On April 29, in a Rose Garden ceremony with President Obama, Dr. Jill Biden, and Secretary Duncan, high school language arts teacher Sarah Brown Wessling of Iowa was named the 2010 National Teacher of the Year. A National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS)-certified teacher and an 11-year veteran of teaching, Wessling is chairwoman of Johnston High School's English Department. She is the 60th recipient of the award. The National Teacher of the Year programa project of the Council of Chief State School Officers sponsored by the ING Foundationdesignates an outstanding representative from among the 56 State Teachers of the Year (representing all 50 states, the District of Columbia, outlying territories, and the Department of Defense Education Activity). The winner is selected by a panel of 15 leading national education organizations.
AAPI Initiative
In advance of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in May, the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders recently announced the Administration's efforts to improve the lives of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities underserved by federal resources. The Initiative will collaborate with agency officials and community leaders in roundtable discussions on education opportunities, employment issues, and health disparities. Experts with hands-on experience will advise federal agencies on critical issues and share innovative models of proven practices. (Note: AAPI key facts and figures and a summary of critical issues facing AAPIs are posted online.)
Financial Capability
This week, at an event hosted at the Treasury, the Departments of Education and Treasury recognized high scoring students in the National Financial Capability Challenge. The Challenge, which was unveiled in December, is designed to increase the financial knowledge and capability of high school-aged youth. Over 76,000 high school students and 2,500 educators across the country participated in the Challenge. Scores were generally low. Participants scored 70% on average, demonstrating that students are not yet achieving the grade when it comes to understanding how to manage money. Idaho, South Dakota, and Wyoming had the highest average scores, and Iowa, Virginia, and Wisconsin had the highest student participation rates. The greatest number of participating schools and teachers were from Pennsylvania. To build on the progress made with this year's Challenge, Secretary Duncan and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner set a goal of increasing student participation, by 15% next year. Also, recognizing that participation averaged only one teacher per school, they urged this year's participating teachers to become ambassadors for financial education and recruit teachers to participate next year. And, they committed to tracking and recognizing year-to-year improvements among schools. (Note: An op-ed regarding the Challenge, penned by Secretary Duncan, Secretary Geithner, and Valerie Garrett, is available online.)
Odds and Ends
Secretary Duncan answered questions about standardized assessments and the cost of college, among other topics, at an education town hall meeting in Atlanta sponsored by CNN.
Last week, the Secretary addressed the Council for Exceptional Children's annual convention. "Virtually everyone professes to believe that all children deserve a world-class education," he stated. "Yet, today, a significant gap between our aspirations and reality persists. And here is the harder, unspoken truth: subtle, unexpressed prejudices and lingering roadblocks still prevent children with disabilities from receiving the world-class education they deserve."
The Department, U.S. Secret Service, and Federal Bureau of Investigation have released a study of targeted violence incidents on U.S. campuses of higher learning. Overall, 272 incidents were identified through a comprehensive search of nearly 115,000 results in open source reporting from 1990 to 2008. The findings are pertinent and far-reaching, and incidents studied include all kinds of targeted violence, ranging from domestic violence to serial killers.
"Educational Technology in U.S. Public Schools: Fall 2008," prepared by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), part of the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), presents new data on the availability and use of educational technology, including information on computer hardware and Internet access, the availability of staff to help integrate technology into instruction and provide timely technical support, and perceptions of educational technology issues at the school and district level.
Later this spring, the Department will invite public comment on proposed rules that would require postsecondary career and vocational programs to prepare students for "gainful employment" in a recognized occupation in order to be eligible for federal grants and loans.
Quote to Note
"I was deeply saddened by the passing of Dorothy Height. Dr. Height understood that the civil rights movement started at the schoolhouse door. During the civil rights movement, she organized women of many races and faiths to support the freedom schools in Mississippi. She maintained her commitment to education by working closely with several of my predecessors in efforts to increase parental involvement in schools and close the achievement gap. President Obama and I believe that education is the civil rights issue of our time. Today, we lost a great partner in our work to reform schools."
|Secretary of Education Arne Duncan (4/20/10), in a statement on the passing of Dr. Dorothy Height
Upcoming Events
The U.S. Departments of Education and Health and Human Services will hold two more Listening and Learning About Early Learning meetings next month.
Over the next two weeks, the Department will exhibit for National Public Service Recognition Week on the National Mall (May 6-8) and for the Joint Services Open House at Andrews Air Force Base (May 14-16). If you are attending either of these events, please stop by the Department's booth.

NEW YORK — One of the first plays about Muslim life in the United States debuts in a time and place fraught with symbolism: Sept. 11 in New York City.
Called "The Domestic Crusaders," the play follows six family members as they come together to celebrate the 21st birthday of the youngest son. Generational divides, family strife and sibling rivalries soon emerge.
The author, 29-year-old Wajahat Ali, says his 2-act play is an attempt to create a space for discussion about the Muslim experience in a post-9/11 world. He's not worried that some people consider the location and date of the premiere provocative.
"9/11 is the ideal date, especially in New York," he says, because the city "bears the brunt of that tragedy." The day is a "historical reminder of the tragic consequences of madness, ignorance and violence."
With what Ali calls the "scapegoating of Muslim-Americans" in the background, the play's characters dive into uncomfortable issues, ranging from cultural clashes to racial profiling to the role of women in Islam to the war on terror, while enjoying chai and biryani in their comfortable couches in the living room.
As Salman and Khulsoom, an immigrant couple from Pakistan, fight hard to keep their traditions and earn a comfortable life in America, they get frustrated with the changes their children go through:
Head scarf-clad daughter Fatima studies law and dates an African-American Muslim; eldest son Salahuddin obsesses over success and materialism; and the college student Ghafur sets out to become an academic to dispel misinformation about Islam, defying his parents' expectation to become a doctor.
Birth of 'Crusaders'
When the World Trade Center towers fell, Ali was the head of the Muslim Student Association at the University of California, Berkeley. As the son of a Pakistani immigrant family who "never hid my Muslim identity," Ali says the tragedy came to define his college years.
He devoted 70-80 percent of his time to activism — organizing Jumaa prayers outdoors on campus, distributing flyers, inviting students to discussion panels — in a relentless effort to fight what he considered misinformation about Islam.
It was in a short story class with Pulitzer-nominated poet Ishmael Reed that he first started working on "Crusaders."
Reed was tired of seeing Muslims caricatured in the media, and he encouraged Ali to depict them in a realistic and non-sanitized fashion, like Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" or Eugene O'Neill's "A Long Day's Journey into the Night."
Despite serving as a mentor to the play's author, Reed doubts American theater is ready for "The Domestic Crusaders."
"It's about an American family that is Muslim, that's why it's controversial," he says, adding that unless it sells well, production companies will not touch this "off off-Broadway show."
For years, Ali thought he might never get to stage the play at all. With many theater companies and producers turning him down, he had to be content with occasional readings — funded by his parents — in restaurants around Berkeley.
"I think it was because the hysteria, the fear, that kind of represented the voice of the Bush administration were still lingering," Ali says. "Even Dixie Chicks, the whitest women in America, who loved Jesus and the Apocalypse, were branded as traitors…. here I am, with a multi-syllabic Arabic name. I am sure people freaked out."
When a Hollywood producer told Ali that he would only stage the play if he "changed" it or included Ted Danson in the cast, he laughed. "'Change' was a code word for making the characters less Muslimy and brown," he wrote in his Huffington Post blog.
Now, with his play premiering on a small stage in New York City, Ali is hopeful it will help jumpstart a dialogue.
"Right now, it's 2009. It's kind of a different atmosphere," Ali says.
'National security'
Dalia Mogahed, executive director of Gallup Muslim Studies and a member of Obama's Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, says "The Domestic Crusaders" allows the audience to see a more humanized face of Muslims.
"The only time they [Muslims] make news is around the issues of either Middle East violence or … within the prism of national security," she says.
Such views of Muslims have not allowed the recognition of Muslim-American contributions to "the art and culture fabric of America," she says, and Ali's play is crucial in its attempt to "immortalize that moment in our history where things were very hard for people."
Mogahed points to a 2009 Gallup poll – "Muslim Americans: A National Portrait" – for evidence of this hardship.
According to the poll, American Muslims are more likely to be angry and express worry than non-Muslims, and young Muslims between the ages of 18-29 are less likely than their peers in other religious communities to be classified as thriving.
Ali remains optimistic his play will find a receptive audience.
"Domestic Crusaders is a vehicle to help bridge the divide through art," he says, and humor will make "the medicine go down easier."
Reed, his mentor, says it has already made a difference in the Muslim-American community, and that one day it have a wider influence.
"This is how Renaissance begins," he says. "It will change American theater eventually."

It was just a simple sales transaction set up via Craigslist, the Internet classified ads site. The item being offered was valuable — a 1.07-carat diamond ring, with an asking price of $1,050 — but James Sanders, a trusting man, felt there was nothing to fear.
"He's sold different things on Craigslist," Charlene Sanders told TODAY's Meredith Vieira Tuesday from Puyallup, Wash.
Tragically, Charlene Sanders is a widow today and her husband, James, is dead. He died defending his family from four people who came to the house in response to his ad. They didn't come to buy the ring; they came to steal it, along with anything else of value the family had.
"Our whole life has been ripped apart," Charlene said. "We're just trying to put it back together as best we can. It's hard."
Transaction turns to terror
Charlene was speaking on national television for the first time since the April 28 robbery and murder. At her side was Derek Sanders, her husband's younger brother.
She described a terrifying scene that began with a young couple at the door and a friendly transaction, and ended in gunshots and death.
It was around 9 p.m. on a Wednesday night, and James and Charlene were upstairs in their Edgewood, Wash., home with their two sons, Jimmy, 14, and Chandler, 10, watching a movie on television.
James was expecting a couple to come about buying the diamond ring he had advertised on Craigslist. He went downstairs when they arrived to show them the ring.
The woman who came to look at the ring said she wanted it as a possible Mother's Day present. She was accompanied by a young man. Two other male accomplices remained hidden.
James showed the couple the ring. Charlene became involved when her husband called her downstairs to answer some questions about it.
"Do you want the ring?" the young man asked the young woman.
"Yes," she said.
Charlene told Vieira the man pulled out a wad of cash and said to James Sanders, "How's this?"
"That's fine," James Sanders replied.
"Well, how about this?" the man asked as he pulled out a gun.
"That's how it all started," Charlene said.
Panic and violence
It was a nightmare, a blur of terror.
"I could feel rushing around. My husband and I were looking at each other, panicking, saying, 'Just take it, take it, take anything you want,' " she told Vieira. "We just kept chanting it: 'Take it.' Then all of a sudden we're getting zip-tied and put down on the floor in the kitchen. I could tell that people had been rushing in."
Two more males joined the couple who initiated the robbery. Charlene said they went upstairs to bring down the two boys.
"I had a man come over to me with a gun to the back of my head," Charlene said. The home invader started to count down, as if he were going to kill her, demanding to know, "Where's the stuff? Where's the stuff?"
"What stuff?" she said.
"Where's the safe?" the man said.
"At one point he kicked me in the head," Charlene told Vieira.
"I was screaming. The kids were standing there and I went, 'Oh, please God, don't let them kill me. Don't let them kill my kids. Don't let them kill me in front of my kids,' " Charlene said.
He died defending them
Someone pulled her wedding ring off her finger as the robbers took her husband to open the family's safe, which was located in the garage. Charlene has said she's not sure of the sequence of events, but she knows that Jimmy, her 14-year-old, at some point jumped on one of the robbers and got pistol-whipped. Her husband managed to break the zip ties that had bound his hands and went to Jimmy's defense.
One of the boys called 911, telling the dispatcher, "My dad has been shot. Please hurry! Hurry, please! We don't know if they're going to come back!"
Charlene cradled her 43-year-old husband in her arms.
"I just kept saying, 'Honey, stay with me. Stay with us. Stay with us. Don't go. Don't go.' And he was just barely gasping for air, and he was all white. He was starting to get white. I saw that half his ear was shot off and I thought maybe he's just in shock. That's why he's white," Charlene said.
But he wasn't in shock.
"He died," Charlene said.
A father's example
Craigslist released a statement saying violent acts related to ads on the popular site are rare. But Detective Ed Troyer, who is investigating the case for the Pierce County Sheriff's office, warned: "If you have something nice, somebody's going to figure out a way to take it from you. Craigslist is a tool to do that."
Meanwhile, the surviving Sanderses are trying to put their lives back together and make James' death mean something.
"He's an example of a real man, a family man, a husband and a father. He's the type of guy a lot of people should aspire to be like," Derek Sanders said of his older brother.
Jimmy, the boy who was pistol-whipped, has told local reporters in Washington that he will follow his father's example.
"I will become the man my dad wanted me to be," Jimmy said. "In time I will forgive these evil people that robbed my dad from me."

Take the TechRepublic Windows Blog poll of the week: Is there a market for Windows 8 or is Microsoft playing with fire?
For the past couple of weeks I have been strongly suggesting that it is time to drop Windows XP as your organization's official desktop operating system. There is still a very large contingent that is planning to stick with Windows XP for as long as they possibly can.
Well, Microsoft's plans for the future continue to work against them. Various leaks and rumors reveal that Microsoft is working feverishly on Windows 8. Check out Mary Jo Foley's blog post from last month for one of the first bits of leaked information.
I think Windows 7 is a fine operating system, and I have been very satisfied with it. In truth, I have been so satisfied, I cannot think of a single feature that Windows 8 could possibly have that would compel me to, once again, upgrade my operating system. (Well, except for the fact that it is my job.) I find it difficult to believe that Microsoft Windows 8 will be strictly a replacement for Windows 7. There must be more up Microsoft's sleeve than mere desktop operating system.
I will hazard a guess and say that Windows 8 will be all about the mobile-device market. It will be the company's tablet/smartphone flagship OS, combining the best of Windows Phone 7 and Windows 7. The mobile market is the fastest growing market in technology, and it is the market where Microsoft lags the competition by the greatest margin. Microsoft has to make a successful foray into the mobile market or risk sliding into insignificance.
As more information is leaked (or officially released), we will see if my educated guess is correct, but I wonder what the TechRepublic membership thinks. Will Windows 8 be a new desktop operating system, a mobile device OS, or a combination of both? As a company, how important is the success of Windows 8 going to be to Microsoft?
