If you have or know a solar project, please submit it to us for consideration as a featured project using Submit an Item. http://www.solaripedia.com/302/submit-an-item.html
In the United States, many communities are turning to community solar plants to power their homes and businesses using the rooftops of public buildings. In Edmonds, Washington, for example, residents pooled their resources to take advantage of state and federal renewable energy incentives for establishing a renewable energy system on the roof of a local municipal building. Powered by the sun, the photovoltaic system generates power and some monetary return to members of the cooperative. The system is being built in phases, designed to grow to a 60kW array. Phase 2 fundraising closes 4 May 2012, so that design, engineering, permitting and installation can happen in the summer of 2012. All panels and inverters are made in Washington State, and cooperative members are Washington State individuals, organizations or corporations. Chris Herman, board chair, and Carlo Voli, board member of the Edmonds Community Solar Cooperative write about the group's successful efforts below.

By Chris Herman and Carlo Voli
Our sun is 4.5 billion years old, without a power outage or a rate increase and in the Pacific Northwest, whenever there is a "solar spill" we call it a "nice day." Using it more is part of most Americans' energy agenda. But there are many in our region who have a shady roof, segmented, or facing the wrong way, or who rent their home or apartment. Or maybe they'd love to support the expansion of solar energy use, but don't have $20,000 to put into their home right now. There is a great solution for these situations: Community Solar.
The community solar law passed in 2009 in Washington State gives double state production incentives for community solar projects. To be classified as a community solar project the funds have to come from the community and the solar system has to be built on a municipal, special purpose district or county building.
Community Solar projects are beginning to spring up in a lot of cities in our region such as Ellensburg, Seattle, Bainbridge, Bellevue, Olympia, Edmonds, and others. And they are a great option for many more people because they can get into solar with a lot less of an upfront investment, pool their financial resources with others in their community or region, and build sizable solar systems together. In countries like Germany, this has been going on for quite a number of years and there are even small utility companies that are owned by large groups of common citizens. The generous State and Federal incentives in Germany have resulted in Germany now being the country with the most residential solar capacity in the world. And the interesting thing is that Germany actually gets less sun on an annual basis than Seattle.
A great example of a community solar project in the Puget Sound region that has already been successfully established and continues to grow is the Edmonds Community Solar Cooperative. This solar co-op was formed in December 2010 and by August 2011 had built a 4.2-kilowatt solar system on the roof of the Frances Anderson Cultural Center in downtown Edmonds with the participation of 37 co-op members, who are mostly individual Washington state residents, including the president of the Edmonds City Council (who will donate any profits) and many other civic-minded citizens. Members also include businesses and organizations such as PCC Natural Markets and the Edmonds Unitarian Universalist Church.
The co-op members are not in it just for the money, though. The major motivator for most members is to do something good with their money. Clean renewable energy, locally-produced with locally-manufactured equipment and installed by a local company, is a much more attractive option than leaving money in a big bank that does who knows what with it and pays almost nothing for the use. "This is something positive we can do with our money that helps us, the city, the state and our planet" said one prominent co-op member.
The Edmonds Community Solar Co-op is using locally-manufactured solar equipment that stimulates our state's economy and is selling the power to the City of Edmonds at a 40-percent discount, which helps them in tight financial times.
The co-op is now gearing up for installation of its Phase 2 system in late spring, in time for the long sunny summer days. Any Washington state resident can buy shares of the co-op, called SunSlices, and May 4 is the last day to get them. The co-op now has 62 members from all over the region, including St. John's Episcopal Church in Snohomish and the vice president of Plug-in America, among others. Several people even bought SunSlices as gifts for their children and grandchildren to show their "eco-love" and provide ongoing income. A limit of 40 SunSlices per owner has been set in order to stay within the income limits of the state incentive.
People, planet and profit are the triple bottom lines that responsible businesses strive for, and the Edmonds Community Solar Cooperative is well on the way to achieving these.
This is just one example of several community solar projects happening in our region and is a sign of the times as we move forward and beyond such a huge dependence on fossil fuels and conventional sources for our energy needs.
Edmond's Frances Anderson Center Solar Project
The Frances Anderson Center Solar Project ("Project") is a project of Edmonds Community Solar Cooperative. The purpose of the Program is to:
• Provide discounted electricity to the Frances Anderson Community Center thru 6/30/2020, and potentially for many more years if the City of Edmonds desires.
• Provide a way for the community surrounding the Community Center to support the transition to clean energy.
• Educate the Edmonds community about solar energy.
• Earn State of Washington Solar Production Incentives, and provide cash rewards up to the SunSlice™ buyer's original purchase amount.
• Provide the Co-Op with the potential ability to direct future local clean energy benefits out of surplus funds at the end of the contract period.
How the program works
Members directly support the installation of solar panels at Frances Anderson Community Center with their dollars. Each $1,000 of solar power capacity installed at the Center is called a SunSlice™. Members of the Program are entitled to the following benefits:
• Your name promoted with the solar array you are supporting.
• The ability to track the energy production of the solar power system you're supporting.
• Annual rewards - each year for the entire membership period, the Program will provide each member cash rewards for each SunSlice™ you own, supported by green energy production made possible by your SunSlice purchase. (e.g. A Member buys a Cooperative Membership for $25 and a SunSlicetm for $1,000 and receives $1,000 back - PLUS they own part of solar power system in their community. Member rewards are paid annually now thru 2020, funded by sale of power to City of Edmonds and by available incentives.)
Anyone may join the Co-op but only cooperative members living in the state of Washington may purchase SunSlices™, and be eligible for all the incentives available. A member of the Cooperative may be an individual, a group of individuals, or an entity, such as a corporation or nonprofit organization.
The Edmonds project was installed by Sunergy Systems, a Washington State supplier.

"Steve Harvey" is not everyone's cup of afternoon tea.
Devotees of, say, "The Colbert Report" will find "Harvey's" right-down-the-middle humor uninspiring. Funny newspaper headlines and jokes about how men behave versus how women behave — where have we seen that before?
"Dr. Phil" fans might consider the veteran stand-up comic's version of common sense to be delivered with too soft a touch. Come on, Steve, don't just dole out love and life advice in the hours between lunch and dinner. Shame people! Make them cry!
And some women in the target audience could be turned off by Harvey's residual horndog tendencies, as when he recently...

Long Ball Carries Sooners Past Red Raiders
April 13, 2013
Sophomore Lauren Chamberlain also homered for the second time in the series and senior Michelle Gascoigne threw a four-hit shutout as the Sooners pushed their winning streak to nine games and their shutout streak to three games.
After three scoreless innings, Ricketts put the first run on the board with a solo home run to left center. It was her ninth of the season and 44th of her career, tying her with Heather Scaglione (2002-05) for sixth most in OU history.
Given the lead, Gascoigne threw seventh shutout of the season and lowered her nation's-best earned run average to 0.79.
The long-ball trend continued for the Sooners in the fifth as they hit a pair of two-run home runs to take a 5-0 lead.
Senior Brianna Turang led off with a walk before Chamberlain launched a two-run home run to right center. It was Chamberlain's 20th home run of the season, tying her for second most in a single season at OU, and the 50th of her career.
Sophomore Shelby Pendley followed Chamberlain with another walk, and she came around to score as Ricketts delivered her second home run of the game. A two-run homer to right field, it gave Ricketts her fourth career multi-home run game.
Texas Tech threatened to get back into the game in the bottom of the fifth, putting runners on the corners with no one out, but Oklahoma was able to escape the jam.
Katibeth King hit a deep fly to left field but Katelyn Williams was caught between third and home and was unable to tag up for a potential sac fly. Taylor Powell entered as a pinch hitter but struck out swinging before Mikey Kenney grounded out to Pendley at third.
The Sooners added an insurance run in the top of the seventh.
Ricketts led off with a single to right field to match her career high with three hits. Sophomore Callie Parsons came on to run for Ricketts and advanced to third when senior Jessica Shults reached on an error. Two batters later, junior Destinee Martinez put down a squeeze bunt that allowed Parsons to score.
The Red Raiders once again got runners on the corners with no outs recorded in the seventh, but Gascoigne was able to keep them off the board. Samantha Camello fouled out to Chamberlain at first base and Gascoigne struck out King and pinch hitter Gretchen Aucoin to end the game.Oklahoma goes for the three-game sweep on Sunday. First pitch is set for noon, and the game can be seen online at TexasTech.TV.

Marketplace for Friday, February 17, 2012
February 17, 2012
Google is once again in the hot seat for its privacy practices. The federal government plans to raise money by auctioning electromagnetic space. Making claims of military bravery may land you a nice date or a better job, but commentator Scott Lyon says lying about it is damaging to real veterans. And the streets of Athens are raging in fury over the new austerity measures and reforms -- but while some burn down government buildings, others express their frustration through the arts.

While some residents would rather have an alluring new business than a daycare center housed in Chestnut Hill's old Borders location, others think the daycare is downright unnecessary.
After two years sitting empty, the former Borders building at 8701 Germantown Ave. finally got a new tenant. In October, the Local learned that Children of America, a national daycare and early learning chain, had indeed signed a lease for the property and planned to open as soon as March 2012.
While some on the Avenue are happy to see a tenant take over the building – others are questioning the need for yet another daycare provider.
There are many daycare facilities already in Chestnut Hill on Germantown Avenue: Cuddles-N-Care, Little House on the Hill, Christ Ascension Lutheran and the Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill, to name a few.
United Cerebral Palsy of Chestnut Hill also operates a full-service daycare on East Mermaid Lane. Many schools in the area also have pre-K programs.
According to the 2000 census, the 19118 ZIP code has 9,600 residents, about 7 percent of whom are under 5 years of age. That adds up to almost 700 pre-kindergarten-aged children. That would seem like enough young children to go around, but not everyone's convinced.
Marlo King, owner of Cuddles-N-Care at 7700 Germantown Ave., is one of those people. She said she was not happy to hear that another daycare was coming to the Hill.
"I think it's not needed," she said.
King said she's lacking clients as it is. Now she's concerned about Children of America hurting small daycares like hers.
"Considering the economy we're in. [Children of America] will take even more from us," she said. "It's competition."
King does, however, remain hopeful parents will choose smaller daycares like hers over a large, corporate entity.
But daycares in and around Chestnut Hill aren't the only option for parents. Chestnut Hill is a neighborhood where many residents prefer employing nannies.
Abigail Hanson, a Chestnut Hill nanny, said she thinks more residents prefer nannies to daycare, period. After searching for additional nanny jobs, Hanson said Chestnut Hill currently has several listings.
She attributes this preference to the appeal of having someone pick the child up from school and keep them in their own environment.
So, with all the options available, is there a potential market for another daycare in Chestnut Hill or not? Apparently Children of America thinks so. And it isn't the only childcare provider who thinks there is a market.
(Children of America declined to discuss the question or its fee structure with the Local.)
Eileen Reilly, retail recruiter for Chestnut Hill, said she's heard inquiries from at least two other childcare providers about leasing space in the neighborhood.
Reilly said she thinks Children of America will thrive in Chestnut Hill and is on board with the community mindset many residents seem to have.
"I feel the fact that they took on such a big property that needed work – that's a commitment," said Reilly.
Reilly said the daycare provider has leased the property, but is unsure whether they've received all proper permits from the city.
What do you think? See our poll on the Chestnut Hill Local's Facebook Page:

Message size affects performance because more data must be passed from producing client to broker and from broker to consuming client, and because for persistent messages a larger message must be stored.
However, by batching smaller messages into a single message, the routing and processing of individual messages can be minimized, providing an overall performance gain. In this case, information about the state of individual messages is lost.
In our tests, which compared throughput in kilobytes per second for 1k, 10k, and 100k-sized messages to a queue destination and AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE acknowledgment mode, we found that nonpersistent messaging was about 50% faster for 1k messages, about 20% faster for 10k messages, and about 5% faster for 100k messages. The size of the message affected performance significantly for both persistent and nonpersistent messages. 100k messages are about 10 times faster than 10k, and 10k are about 5 times faster than 1k.

Table No. 21
After working day and night to live a mediocre life, Vivaan (Rajeev Khandelwal) and Siya Agasthi (Tena Desae) are thrilled to have won an all inclusive vacation to the exotic Fiji. Not only do they get to stay in a lavish hotel with a grand suite, the couple also receives an invitation for lunch to celebrate their wedding anniversary at one of the finest resorts in Suva, Fiji.
The couples' excitement only increases when they meet the very suave Mr. Khan (Paresh Rawal) at the restaurant who gives them a chance to play a "tell all truth" game for a mind boggling 21 crores. The rules of the game are simple; answer 8 questions truthfully and complete the respected tasks and the money is all yours. Vivaan and Siya readily agree as they can take their winnings to Mumbai and live the life they both have always dreamed of.
The game begins; Vivaan and Siya are off to a great start answering each question right as well as completing the tasks successfully. However the as they proceed, the questions and tasks get more and more personal. Each question ironically ties back to an important chapter of their lives.
Vivaan and Siya have had enough and choose to quit the game. One important rule they forgot which Khan reminds them of, quitting is not an option. They both realize that the game isn't really a game but the only way to survive is to complete the game. Who really is Khan? Will Vivaan and Siya survive the game and win 21 crores?

This article originally was published on March 2, 2009, as part of a symposium on President Obama and the New Progressivism. More than two years later, Thomas E. Woods Jr.'s warnings about the government's meddling in the economy seem prescient, and his prescriptions seem sound for an economy heading toward a double-dip recession.
Barack Obama is already making the Clinton and Bush years seem like the good old days.
Close to a trillion dollars are being tossed around in a "stimulus" package that no one in his right mind—and I do not here include the mainstream of the economics profession, which has disgraced itself in this crisis—expects to bring about recovery. Economist Robert Wenzel rightly describes the stimulus as "just the insiders raiding the till while there is still money in it." Trillions of dollars are likewise being thrown at financial institutions that (if we actually believe in the free market) richly deserve to go bankrupt. Nationalization of the banks is being openly discussed—an outcome our rulers assure us they would undertake only as a last resort, deploring every minute of it, and only for our own good.
We are learning what it is like to live in an Orwell novel. Our television screens are filled with people offering choices between idiotic and suicidal option A and idiotic and suicidal option B. We are being told that we must at least partially nationalize our banks, prop up zombie companies, lower interest rates to zero, and pass stimulus packages in order to escape the fate of Japan—which, um, partially nationalized its banks, propped up zombie companies, lowered interest rates to zero, and passed eight stimulus packages. We have a president who tells us we cannot rely on the free market to get us out of this mess because the free market is what got us here, as if the Federal Reserve and its bubble-inducing monetary policy never existed.
F. A. Hayek won the Nobel Prize in 1974 for showing how central bank manipulation of interest rates gives rise to the kind of boom-bust cycle we are experiencing now, and that such phenomena are not caused by the unhampered market. If by some miracle you manage to hear this point of view on television, it will be sandwiched between hours and hours of Keynesian droning.
Of course, the rationale we're being given for the insanity is that these are crisis times, and the usual rules go out the window. That's what Paul Krugman means when he speaks of "depression economics"—a special set of economic principles come into play in times like this that differ radically from those we would abide by under normal conditions. And so we see once again why Keynesian economics swept the board so successfully: it tells the regime just what it wants to hear. It provides intellectual cover for the expansion of government power and the seizure of private property that state officials want to engage in anyway.
"Never allow a crisis to go to waste," said chief of staff and former Freddie Mac board member Rahm Emmanuel. He needn't worry. The Keynesian economists who suddenly dominate public life in America, years after everyone else assumed Keynes and his fallacies were long dead and buried, will weave every apologia under the sun for whatever activity Emmanuel and the president he serves choose to undertake. The all-purpose pretext is ready at hand: why, we've got to do something about this terrible crisis.
Indeed we should do something—but, as usual, it's exactly the opposite of what the federal government intends to do. We should cut the government's budget as drastically as possible, thereby releasing resources for use by the productive sector. (That worked pretty well in stopping the terrible depression of 1920–21.) We should stop the Fed from interfering in the recovery process. We should let the private economy sort out which activities undertaken during the artificial Greenspan boom are genuine wealth-generating activities and which are wealth-destroying bubble activities. The latter should be promptly liquidated so their resources can be better employed by the former.
Meanwhile, we still have some conservatives, frozen in the 1980s, calling for reductions in marginal income tax rates, among other feckless suggestions. Tax reductions are desirable, to be sure, but the crisis we are facing is a systemic one that is not going to be fixed by marginal changes here and there. We need to start talking big changes. We need to open up questions the regime has long since considered closed. We need to talk about the monetary system, the Fed, entitlements, and much else.
In other words, if the Left can advocate $1 trillion-plus annual deficits as far as the eye can see, why can't supporters of the free market be equally bold in the opposite direction?
Conservatives' rediscovery of government frugality has been a refreshing thing to behold. The important thing now is for conservative intellectuals to be sure they know sound economics. For instance, the problem with the stimulus package isn't the "pork," however evil, stupid, and counterproductive it surely is. The problem is the Keynesian nonsense on which the very idea of "fiscal stimulus" is based. The problem is the mistaken view that "spending" is what the economy needs now, and that all our efforts must be expended on ways to revive consumer spending and borrowing. (I've discussed all this in detail elsewhere.)
The president has unveiled a program to help troubled homeowners make their mortgage payments and stay in their homes. He is going to encounter the same problem Charles Murray identified in the mid-1980s in his book Losing Ground: American Social Policy 1950–1980. There Murray famously argued that poverty persisted in the United States not in spite of anti-poverty programs, but because of them. Before evaluating the empirical evidence, though, Murray first explained why, from a theoretical point of view, we should in fact expect this perhaps counterintuitive result.
Murray challenged his readers to devise a social program that would not cause net harm. He gave the example of a government program aimed at discouraging smoking. I can't reproduce his whole argument here, which is quite lengthy, but his point is that the reward the government offers for people who quit has to be substantial enough to persuade them to go to the trouble of quitting, but not so substantial as to encourage nonsmokers to start smoking. Just as Murray says, this task turns out to be borderline impossible. It is especially difficult when the program in question makes it more desirable to be out of work. Given man's inclination to acquire wealth with the least possible exertion, such programs threaten to drag additional people into a cycle of dependency that mankind's inclination to sloth will only reinforce over time.
For similar reasons, every attempt to solve the problems caused by a housing bubble that the Fed should not have blown up in the first place, such as the proposed measures for mortgage relief, will exacerbate the problems, thereby leading to still more government intervention, in the very pattern Ludwig von Mises identified in his famous essay "Middle-of-the-Road Policy Leads to Socialism." That is the fallacy in the usual statement that "it would cost only $X billion to give every American who needs it" this or that benefit. Once people realize the government is giving out a benefit for free, more and more people will place themselves in the condition that entitles them to the benefit, thereby making the program ever more expensive.
The best outcome I can see is that under Obama the United States will experience the kind of economic stagnation that is now routine in Western Europe, with high unemployment and sluggish (if any) growth, and people standing around pretending not to know what could be causing it. A smaller and smaller core of productive firms and individuals will be expected to support a larger and larger demand for bailouts and other corporate and individual welfare. Who is John Galt, indeed.
The worst outcome, which we cannot dismiss out of hand, is a hyperinflationary destruction of the currency or, barring that, the reduction of America to banana-republic conditions.
Regardless of which of these outcomes actually occurs, the Obama administration will have moved the country farther away from a market economy than it has ever been in peacetime (barring perhaps the early years of the New Deal and its outright cartelization of industry), accelerating trends already at work under the Bush administration. If you want to succeed in the so-called private sector, you had better have some friends in Washington, because that's where credit and capital will be allocated from.
And if you want to hold on to your wealth, assume the dollar is going to collapse. The euro is under terrific strain right now, and so the dollar may continue its artificial rally in the near term, but in light of the accelerating demands of the predatory sector (that is, the government) on the shrinking productive sector, the dollar's bust has to come. The printing press will be the regime's only way out. If this crisis doesn't do it, the looming entitlement disaster will finish off the dollar. How else are $70 trillion in entitlement liabilities going to be paid for? Floating a few more bonds?
Things could get very bad indeed. If we are to have any chance of beating back these unprecedented incursions of the state, supporters of the free market need to know their position cold. Here are two reading lists I've assembled for that purpose (1, 2). I wrote my just-released book Meltdown for the same reason: to educate Americans about the causes of the crisis, to be sure, but also to give supporters of the free market the ammunition they need to make their case effectively.
Even that may prove not to be enough. We may have to be consoled with the knowledge that at least we fought with all our strength. And fight we must, as Ludwig von Mises urged: "No one can find a safe way out for himself if society is sweeping toward destruction. Therefore, everyone, in his own interests, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle. None can stand aside with unconcern; the interest of everyone hangs on the result."

The Common Ploy for More Funding
In The Detroit News, the presidents of the University Research Corridor schools argue that a dollar of state appropriations for their institutions returns $17 in economic benefits. But this analysis, regardless of accuracy, does not justify the appropriation.
These multiplier analyses are meant to show the economic impact of spending in one area compared to another. For instance, this 17-times spending multiplier is awfully close to the returns promised from spending on early childhood education, where advocates argue that spending a dollar generates $16 in economic activity, despite evidence to the contrary.
An even greater claim, using the same form of analysis, would be the 40-times spending multiplier claimed by state tourism advocates for the Pure Michigan campaign.
But these analyses don't answer the important question: Where does the appropriation money come from? In this case, it comes directly from taxpayers, who may already have ideas on how to best use their money.
You can't spend a dollar without it having an impact somewhere. But you shouldn't take a dollar from someone because you think it'll have a bigger economic impact when spent by someone else.

What is the culprit or vice that is stealing the white from your smile?
Your morning cup of coffee (and the next one and the next one)?
Tea? Soda?
Maybe it's one of your healthy diet choices that is dimming your (once) pearly whites, like delicious, fresh picked berries.
For most of us, our regular diets contain smile dimming culprits, even some of our medications. As for myself, my culprits are tea, berries, allergy medications, as well as an occasional glass of wine. My smile really needed a dazzle intervention!
There's no question that a healthy, white smile can make a significant contribution to one's overall appearance.
Fortunately, there are alternatives to expensive dental office procedures that can dramatically boost your smile to dazzling right at home. With results evident after the first five minute treatment, Plus White can add the sparkle you seek, reaching full benefits in as little as two weeks!
Plus White offers a full line of teeth whitening products to help you reach your full smile whitening potential. With a wide range of whitening options, including a formula especially designed for those with sensitive teeth, as well as special whitening toothpastes, there is a Plus White product perfect for helping you face the world with a bright, beautiful smile!
I was given an opportunity to test the Plus White 5 Minute Speed Whitening System.
In as little as five minutes, right at home, you can begin to take advantage of the same process dentists use (oxygenating action) to gently but effectively lift away stains. Now, with the bleaching power of Plus White, whitening will begin to work with the first application and you'll see whiter and brighter teeth within days!
This easy-to-use system includes:
- Plus White Tartar Control Pre-Whitening Rinse helps remove film and loosen stains from your teeth, enabling the Gel to lift away stains even more effectively.
- Plus White 5 Minute Speed Whitening Gel now with bleaching power for fast, effective whitening and brightening.
- Comfortable Mouthpiece with a double-sided tray that whitens top and bottom teeth at the same time for faster results and better whitening.
Using the Plus White 5 Minute Speed Whitening System was easy!
First, you prep your teeth for brilliance with the pre-whitening rinse. A teaspoon of the rinse, mixed with a couple teaspoons of lukewarm water. Swish and rinse out.
Next, you add a small amount (really, small amount or you'll be foaming!) of whitening gel to the mouth tray. You can control which teeth get the glamming treatment by only placing gel in the areas of the tray that correspond to your "problem" teeth. Front teeth only, full upper set or upper and lower can all be treated at the same time.
Place the mouth tray in your mouth, bite down gently but firmly and leave in place for 5 minutes for mild needs or up to 10-15 minutes for tackling a more challenged smile.
That's it! Just rinse mouth and tray with lukewarm water after the application, taking care to not swallow any whitening gel and let the mouth tray air dry.
The instructions recommend to treat your teeth twice per day for two weeks and taper off to one or two applications per week after that to maintain your pearlier whites.
My results:
Honestly, I was really skeptical that I would see any results after only one application, but there was definitely a noticeable difference! After a week, I was dazzling not only myself, but the rest of my family as well! I was really pleased with the results.
Whether you need a dazzle intervention or just a bit of assistance, Plus White offers fantastic products at affordable prices so you get whiten up your smile and not break the budget while doing so!

IP address subranges within this IP range
IP address ranges, or netblocks, are groups of related IP addresses. They are usually represented as a base IP address, followed by a slash, and then a netmask which represents how many IP addresses are contained within the netblock. This format is known as CIDR. You'll also sometimes see netblocks given as a start ip address, and an end ip address, or an ip address range.
Traffic works its way around the internet based on the routing table, which contains a list of networks and their associated netblocks.

Virginia opposes new sentencing for sniper Malvo, who challenges mandatory life term for teens
McLEAN, Va. – Virginia authorities are opposing an effort by convicted sniper Lee Boyd Malvo to challenge his sentence of life without parole.
Malvo was convicted in Maryland and Virginia for his role in the 2002 sniper shootings that killed 10 people and wounded three in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia.
He is challenging his life sentence based on a recent Supreme Court decision that outlaws mandatory life sentences without parole for juveniles. Malvo was 17 at the time of the killings.
Virginia's attorney general's office argues in papers filed Wednesday that the ruling should not be applied retroactively to Malvo. They also say that because Malvo struck plea bargains in some jurisdictions, the sentence can't be challenged.
A federal judge in Norfolk will decide the issue.

Not going to be seeing home for a while? The Burton Wheelie Sub Rolling Gear Bag boasts a massive storage capacity ideal for extended trips away from home, and it's loaded with features to make traveling and dealing with the airport less painful. Basically, if it doesn't fit in here, you'd have to ship it freight anyways.

I've always believed that Chestnut Hill is the most beautiful section of Philadelphia. As of late, I've come to recognize it as its most musical, as well. Once again I had the opportunity to attend two concerts this weekend – as it turned out, both on Sunday afternoon. The Woodmere Art Museum hosted the Philadelphia Trio at 3 p.m. in music by Beethoven, Brahms and Shostsakovich. Then, at 5, the Episcopal Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields presented a voice/piano recital featuring its soprano soloist, Krystiane Cooper, and Eric Meyer, its music director, in music by Poulenc, Schumann, Barber, Arlen and Pasatieri.
The Philadelphia Trio – pianist Elizabeth Keller, violinist Barbara Sonies and cellist Deborah Reeder – opened their Woodmere Art Museum recital with Beethoven's early "Trio in G major." They caught the bold tone of the first movement's Adagio, and then moved into its Allegro with a brisk tempo and rhythmic drive throughout its development section.
Sonies and Reeder were particularly effective singing out the simple lyricism of the second movement, with Keller providing secure yet sensitive support. Ensemble was excellent throughout. Keller beautifully decorated the violin and cello parts in the third movement Scherzo, and all three musicians delineated the cheerful charm of the closing Presto.
At times, their playing was a tad too loud for the space at Woodmere, which is highly resonant and could use an artful rug under the piano, but their efforts at the middle and lower dynamics were exquisitely molded and lyrically shaped.
Krystiane Cooper and Erik Meyer's program at St. Martin's Episcopal Church featured two major works – Schumann's "Dichterliebe" and Barber's "Knoxville: Summer of 1915" – both of which I adore. Many years ago, I accompanied a fine tenor in performances of the Schumann, so I know the score intimately from the inside out; and I have always been a fervent fan of virtually all the music of West Chester's Samuel Barber, especially this 1947 setting of James Agee's nostalgic poetry. Hearing them both on the same program performed in the evocative gothic-revival setting of St. Martin's was a triple treat if ever there was one.
Cooper and Meyer approached the Schumann with expressive integrity and interpretive intelligence. They offered the individual character of each of the cycle's 16 songs yet forged them into an emotional journey with a secure sense of beginning, middle and end, leaving the listener with a profound appreciation of Heine's revelatory poetry and Schumann's masterful musical delineation of it. Cooper sang in a clear tone, excellent German diction, poignant phrasing and spiritual conviction. Meyer supported her sensitively.
Charles Dutoit ended his four-year tenure as the chief conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra with a magnificent concert Saturday night at the Kimmel Center's Verizon Hall. Leading music by Glinka, Chopin and Ravel, the maestro who should have been chosen to succeed Riccardo Muti as music director in 1992 proved once again that he is a master interpreter and a tonal magician – one of the few conductors who can summon up the late Eugene Ormandy's fabled "Philadelphia Sound" with a flick of his baton.
One can only dream about what the current state of the Philadelphia Orchestra would have been had Dutoit been named its music director in 1992. Flush with the success of transforming the Montreal Symphony from a minor band into a world-class orchestra, Dutoit would have brought with him to Philadelphia a recording contract that would have enabled the Philadelphians to remain at the forefront of an industry they had dominated during the 44-year tenure of Eugene Ormandy – but the project languished when the French-Swiss maestro wasn't chosen as Muti's successor. The rest, as they say, is history. With fewer and fewer recordings to offer the public, the orchestra lost a principal source of income.
One can also shudder at the thought of what might have happened to the ensemble during these recent years of bankruptcy filings had Dutoit not been around as chief conductor to maintain the Philadelphians' artistic integrity and legendarily distinctive sound and personality. In many ways, Charles Dutoit has been the savior of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the audience Saturday night showered him with ovation after ovation in recognition of his singular service to the ensemble and the region.

Keith Urban Sings Musical Tribute to George Jones
Keith Urban offered his musical tribute to George Jones, who passed away today (April 26) at the age of 81. While seated at and playing a white piano, Urban sang a few bars of Jones' 'He Stopped Loving Her Today,' which is largely regarded as one of the most important country songs ever.
After he played and sang an emotional snippet of the song, Urban then looked at the camera and said, "Rest in peace, George. We love you," and touched his heart. It's a very moving musical tribute to a lost legend, and a fitting statement. You could tell that Urban has deep respect for Jones and his musical legacy.
Urban even wrote a short but powerful note when he posted the video. It read: "If I'm blessed enough to make it there, I look forward to you giving me the grand tour. Rest in peace George Jones!!!!! -KU."
Other country stars expressed their sadness over Jones' passing via Twitter. You can read their tweets and their reactions to this major loss in country music.

Scientists have discovered an exquisitely preserved ancient primate fossil that they believe forms a crucial "missing link" between our own evolutionary branch of life and the rest of the animal kingdom.
The 47m-year-old primate – named Ida – has been hailed as the fossil equivalent of a "Rosetta Stone" for understanding the critical early stages of primate evolution.
The top-level international research team, who have studied her in secret for the past two years, believe she is the most complete and best preserved primate fossil ever uncovered. The skeleton is 95% complete and thanks to the unique location where she died, it is possible to see individual hairs covering her body and even the make-up of her final meal – a last vegetarian snack.

It's not officially autumn until Chestnut Hill holds its annual Fall for the Arts Festival. Now in its 29th year, the 2013 festival included a glass-blowing demonstration, live music and performances on two stages featuring Zydeco a Go Go, Dukes of Destiny, Stone Age, Rich Posmontier Ensemble and Delaware Valley Branch – Royal Scottish Dancers.
For the kids, there was a rock-climbing wall, moonbounce, pumpkin painting, face painting, arts and crafts, a magic show and free Peanuts Express train rides.
There were plenty of tantalizing treats. Foodies enjoyed Al fresco dining and fun festival foods – funnel cakes, cotton candy and kettle corn, and all the Hill restaurants participated in this year's event.
"This year's Fall for the Arts Festival provided a great time for the thousands of folks that came out to enjoy the art, music, food and festivities," said Peggy Miller, of the Chestnut Hill Business Association. "Even the rain that appeared at the end of the day couldn't dampen the fun. Now we're switching gears and getting ready for our Harry Potter Festival that takes place October 18 and 19. [We're] looking forward to seeing everyone then."
Miller said this year's festival featured several new local exhibitors including Elizabeth Cantanese, of Chestnut Hill, who displayed mixed media acrylic, and Brian James, also of Chestnut Hill, who displayed his photography.
The winners of this year's Fall for the Arts Festival were Lara Cantu-Hertzler, best-in-show and first-prize in oils; Pigs Alley Gallery, second-prize in oils; Keith Mountford, first-prize in watercolors; Gene Pembroke; first-prize in Photography; Rich Killion, second-prize in photography; C.M.

Georgetown University connects the community on campus and beyond
Georgetown's IT was fragmented and in need of upgrades. Students, faculty, and staff often found themselves stifled by technology, rather than helped by it. They used multiple (and outdated) tools for calendars, email, and file storage, hindering efforts to schedule meetings, share information, and work together.

Last night we noticed our 920 getting a few updates including Nokia Transit aka Transport and Maps. Nokia has now given some details on version 3.0, which also includes Windows Phone 8 support (basically just adding a double wide tile).
The new Maps brings all sorts of goodies including offline support (it shares the offline downloads of Nokia Drive, saving space), venue maps (we can see our local mall) and it now gives you detailed walking directions. Heck, it will even hand itself off to Drive for car navigation, making Nokia's apps a little more seamless.
Interestingly, on Nokia Windows Phones (920, 820, etc.) there is no Microsoft Maps for an application; it is only Nokia Maps. But seeing as Bing maps is basically powered by Nokia, it's not that big of deal though they are called different things e.g. Maps (HTC 8X) versus Nokia Maps (Lumia 920).
As is customary, Nokia has made a neat little video showing off the power of updated mapping application. Hopefully some on iOS6 will take notice and maybe be convinced to jump on the Windows Phone 8 bandwagon with the superior mapping capability.
Edit: Version 3.0 appears to be for Windows Phone 8 devices only.
For those on Nokia Lumia phones, you can head to the Collection to grab the new Maps app here.

Lobster Tank Sizes Specs and Prices
Heinen's Fine Foods of Ohio proudly uses a Marine Ecological Habitat's lobster tank to provide its customers healthy and fresh Maine lobster.
The World's Finest Lobster Tanks
Are Made in Maine
Celebration Tavern, Orlando, Florida Lobster Tank with Custom Remote LED Lighting
Cleaner Water Means Fresher Lobsters
A quality lobster tank display is essential to any seafood restaurant or market. Good water flow is not enough to keep the water clean. Removal of solid waste, nitrites, ammonia, organic compounds and dissolved organics are essential for a healthy environment and fresh tasting seafood. Our state-of-the-art, over-sized bio-bed, protein skimmer, UV sterilizer and carbon system provide the highest level of water purification available.
University of New England Lobster Tank Logo engraved with Custom LED Lighting
Even if You Lose Power, You'll Keep Your Lobsters
Our lobster tanks feature a proprietary automatic drain-down system. In the event of a power failure, the water in the lobster holding area automatically drains out of the tank. If lobsters are left in un-oxygenated water, they die. Because all tanks are required to have ground fault protection, power failures are common. Many restaurant and seafood store owners have lost lobsters after a power failure, due to the lack of oxygen in the water. Our system prevents this from happening and saves our customers' investments.

Dream Car
R&C Dream Car of the Month
Charlie and I have drawn a lot of hot rods in our time. From our Barn Studio springs, here are some ideas for our dream shop "studio" truck.
1933 Ford Roadster Pickup
By Darrell Mayabb
The 1933 Ford roadster pickup has a track roadster nose—a much more severe rake to the leading front edge of the grille opening. Attached to the nose are batwings to cover the axle and house the recessed King Bee headlights. Special curved louvers are in the hood side panels. It has a set of Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels with big 'n' little red line tires. A way-laidback Stanley Wanlass Deuce roadster windshield by Rodware would be the only choice for the front glass.
1932 Ford Sedan Delivery
By Darrell Mayabb & C. Cruz
With a chopped, major frontend suspension drop, it has a large side exhaust and Sanderson Limefire headers that are accentuated by a set of flames. It has steelies with big 'n' little wide whites and beauty rings with truck 'caps.
1940 Chevy Car/ Closed-Cab Pickup Coupe
By C. Cruz
This 1940 Chevy pickup has a severe chop and rake to the windshield. Further touches are removing the wind wings and tunneling headlights. The bed would be from '50s GM pickup with widened fenders to accommodate huge back tires mounted on steelies with beauty rings and a handmade exhaust tip. A dynamic flame job with colors keep the overtone of the "CARtoon" look.

The origins of the Kalamazoo Public Library were humble. In 1860 the local school district inherited 123 volumes from a failed township library. With that tiny collection, a library was opened for a single hour per week, its use limited to students of the school district and their parents. It grew through the Civil War years until it had 2,800 books, and opened to the general public on 12 October 1872. From that modest beginning, Kalamazoo Public Library has continued to grow until it now offers 120,000 people almost 400,000 books and a variety of other media from five buildings. The library continued to function under the direction of the board of education for more than a century until 1990, when voters agreed to form a district library which would function under its own board of trustees.
View: Catalogue of Kalamazoo Public Library: 1890
The library's early headquarters in cramped rented facilities gave way to a fine new Romanesque structure built on property purchased from local businessman Robert R. Howard and completed in 1893 with a $50,000 gift from Dr. and Mrs. E. H. Van Deusen. By the late 1920s the library had grown so much that it spilled over into the adjacent Peck and Kauffer houses on Rose Street. The depression and World War II delayed a much needed new building, but after a spirited campaign, and a favorable millage vote in 1955, the library's second new building replaced the old one on 25 May 1959. The library continued to grow, filling even this new facility to bursting. The departure of the Kalamazoo Public Museum in 1996 provided the opportunity for a major renovation of the existing building to take advantage of the vacated space, and to add the third floor that was planned when it was built. Over the years, the library also added four branches, Washington Square, Eastwood, Powell and Oshtemo, each of which began in a school and eventually acquired its own building.
Library services have grown along with the buildings and the collections. In 1896 KPL became one of the first 10 libraries in the nation to establish a children's room. A depository of government documents was established here in 1907, the only one in the area for many years thereafter. In 1929 it became the first public library in the country to provide moving picture film service. Later it added sound recordings and framed art. In 1972, the massive task of indexing the Kalamazoo Gazette was undertaken. The Gazette index became the first in a series of tools developed by the library to provide local information to its clients. The law library was transferred from the courthouse into the newly renovated library building, thus greatly increasing the hours that the law collection is staffed and available for use.
Developing technology has allowed the library to keep pace with increasing information needs. A Gaylord charging machine was installed in 1938 to expedite the circulation of books. Eventually it was replaced by a photographic charging system, and later still by the present computerized version. The advent of microfilm in 1946 gave researchers access to many more materials than there would otherwise have been space for. Now computers allow more flexible ways of locating books, the creation of local databases, and access to worldwide resources with a few keystrokes.
The library has played a significant role in the development of other Kalamazoo cultural institutions. The origin of the Kalamazoo Valley Museum dates back to a collection of shells, marbles, and fossils that were given to the library in 1881. As the accumulation of artifacts grew, a distinct museum evolved, but it remained part of the Kalamazoo Public Library organization until 1984 and continued to share its building for another dozen years after that. For nearly 20 years, the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts also shared library quarters. The school libraries of the Kalamazoo School District blossomed under the administration of the Kalamazoo Public Library until they were transferred to the jurisdiction of the superintendent of schools in 1966.
For more than a century and a quarter, Kalamazoo Public Library has grown steadily from a few shelves of books in a room above a store to the vibrant institution that it is today. The library now has five new or newly refurbished buildings, a continually growing collection, improved technology to meet increasing needs, and a dedicated and experienced staff that is constantly planning for the future. Its efforts in technology, pioneering legislation and collaboration with other community institutions resulted in the national Library of the Year Award for 2002. What will the new millennium bring in the way of library services?

The $5.8 billion San Diego County Credit Union recently won the Crystal Award for workplace excellence from the Society of Human Resource Management's San Diego chapter.
SDCCU was recognized by SHRM for the credit union's implementation of its "standard of excellence plan," which has substantially improved the credit union's employee culture and performance. The standard of excellence plan focuses on critical thinking and decision making that in turn has helped improve customer service levels throughout the organization, according to SDCCU.
"We're proud to be honored with SHRM's Crystal Award as it highlighted our management team's innovation, commitment and hard work," said SDCCU President/CEO Teresa Halleck.
Since Halleck took over SDCCU's helm in August 2010, the management team has been focused almost exclusively on improving its customer service experience, which has helped increase the credit union's membership rolls, the credit union said. The credit union's membership has grown from 224,729 on Dec. 31, 2011, to 238,789 on Sept. 30, 2012, according to SDCCU.

Courtesy Jenny Craig
After losing 30 lbs. in 12 weeks, actress Sara Rue is going for 10 more, she says. "The changing of your mind is often the hardest part," says Rue, a spokesperson for Jenny Craig. "Now that I've conquered that, I'm ready for more!" Rue, 31, has struggled with her weight since she was a child. The red-headed actress, who starred in the TV show Eastwick, says she once lost a role due to her size. Determined to gain control of her weight, Rue joined the program in November and learned about how much to eat and healthy foods. She explains, "The key has been portion control, which has totally helped me not slip up, and has given me the necessary balance to feel good. I'm comfortable with this program, because it's not a diet –- it's a lifestyle change." As a result, the pounds fell off — and she's down to the last ten lbs of her Jenny Craig journey. Her reward for successful weigh-ins? A manicure. Rue enthuses, "Thanks to my 30-lb. weight loss, my nails have never looked better!" –Elaine Aradillas

How to Use
the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 1: Hispanos and Anglos
Following the signing of a peace treaty with the Comanches in 1786, Spanish settlers began to look beyond the valley of the Rio Grande for new areas to farm and graze their livestock. Compared to the crowded, drier, narrow valleys of the western slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the valleys on the east must have seemed green and inviting. Crossing the mountains was no easy task, however. Soaring to elevations of more than 13,000 feet, the mountain wall extends more than 80 miles north to south with few breaks. One break occurs at the southern end of the range at Glorieta Pass. A steeper, more difficult pass lies near the headwaters of the eastward-flowing Mora River.
Settlement began to expand into the fertile valleys east of the mountains in the early 19th century. After Mexico won its independence in 1821, several large Hispano ranchos were established near Glorieta Pass in the green and fertile valley of the Pecos River. By the 1830s, the valley was occupied by ranchos with tilled fields lining the river bottom. Settlement in the rich, irrigable valley of the Mora River began about the same time. Here, too, the Mexican government made large land grants to settlers, as it sought to establish a buffer zone between itself and the rapidly expanding United States to the east.
Things soon began to change for the men and women moving into these valleys. French fur trappers moving south into the mountains and traders moving west along the Santa Fe Trail brought new ideas and customs with them. Many of these Anglos stayed in the area and married into Hispano families.
In 1846, the Army of the West, commanded by Gen. Stephen Watts Kearny, conquered New Mexico without firing a shot and declared its annexation to the United States. Although Kearny's army encountered no resistance, the annexation was not bloodless. On Jan. 19, 1847, a group of Hispanos and Indians in Taos murdered the newly-appointed American governor and several other officials, and sacked the homes of Anglo citizens. Hispanos in the Mora Valley killed six American merchants and trappers. The American army brought an end to the revolt in February. After fierce fighting in the streets of the village of Mora, a cavalry unit leveled the town.
In 1851, New Mexico was organized as a U.S. territory and the Hispanos became U.S. citizens. Some prospered as they sold their grain to the newly established Army posts or trailed their huge herds of sheep to the gold camps of California and Colorado. Some lost their land to Anglo newcomers; both Spanish and Mexican land grants were often simply ignored. Later in the century, other Anglos disrupted traditional Hispano agricultural practices by buying and fencing much of the land on the sloping sides of the valleys. These lands had been held in common and used by all the settlers in the valleys for grazing their herds of cattle and sheep.
With increases in traffic over the Santa Fe Trail, the needs of the huge Army supply post at Fort Union for agricultural supplies, and the coming of the railroad in 1879, life in the valleys began to turn eastward, away from the original Spanish settlements along the Rio Grande. No longer isolated and self sufficient, the larger farms became part of a bartering and, ultimately, cash economy that linked them to army logistics in the West, the overland wagon trade, and finally, the railroad towns of the High Plains.
Most of the Hispanos in the valleys continued to own and work small farms. They maintained flocks of sheep to meet household needs for food and clothing and to barter, herding them by day and corralling them by night. They raised a few hogs, goats, and dairy cows and either oxen, mules, or horses for farm work. They grew hay, wheat, oats, potatoes, barley, peas, and green plums, all requiring irrigation. As Anglos moved to the valleys, the local Hispano culture was able to absorb a variety of outside practices while largely retaining its cultural characteristics. The newcomers brought with them trading goods, opened many of the first village stores, and introduced new building practices and materials. In time, however, these newcomers and their descendants would speak Spanish, build their homes using traditional building materials and traditional house plans, and farm using irrigation methods that had been used for hundreds of years.
Questions for Reading 1
1. Why did Spanish settlers start looking for new areas to move into after 1786?
2. Why did the Mexican government issue large land grants in the valleys east of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains?
3. Why do you think the Hispanos in Taos and Mora opposed U.S. annexation of New Mexico?
4. How did life in the valleys change after New Mexico became a U. S. territory?
5. Why do you think traditional Hispano society was able to absorb so many changes without losing its character?

Cantilevered Bearingless Thermoplastic Sump Pump Expands Flow Range
A new Sump-Gard model SGK-2700 thermoplastic centrifugal pump handles flows to 1200 gpm (4500 lpm) at heads to 200 ft (60 m).
All wetted components are molded of solid Polypropylene, PVDF or CPVC to eliminate chemical attack associated with pumping of process fluids, plant effluents and industrial/municipal water and waste streams, while minimizing abrasion.
The alloy shaft, which is isolated from fluid contact by a thick-sectioned thermoplastic sleeve, transfers torque from a 125 hp (93 kW) motor and can employ a balanced 14 in. (356 mm) diameter impeller.
The pump's large diameter cantilevered shaft eliminates the necessity for any immersed bearings and permits dependable operation for short or extended periods of dry run operation, with no damage to the pump.
SGK-series pumps are in wide use for effluent collection and evacuation, and for transfer and circulation of chemicals or waste resulting in minimized maintenance costs and maximized MTBR.
These rugged thermoplastic pumps weigh significantly less than pumps of equivalent capacity constructed of stainless steel, Hastelloy, Monel or other metal alloys, facilitating installation and ease of maintenance.

DENVER, Feb. 26 (UPI) -- The number of dogs who are eating edible marijuana is on the rise in Denver after pot legalization in Colorado, and veterinarians at the VCA Alameda East Veterinary Hospital are warning that it's not something people should be feeling too stoked about.
The hospital usually treats hundreds of dogs a week, but now the hospital regularly has to deal with dogs that have gotten into their owners' stashes of pot food.
"What we are seeing is dogs getting into the baked products," Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald told CBS Denver. "The butter gets a higher concentration of THC, the active ingredient."
Fitzgerald conducted a year-long study involving dogs being exposed to marijuana and found that it can cause symptoms like disorientation, seizures and temporary comas. In some cases, the symptoms lingered for days.
"Half-life for a dog is 72 hours, maybe 96, before it gets out of their system," said Fitzgerald. "The one thing we see with almost all of them is urinary incontinence when they eat a bunch of it,"

What brings about my wrath this time? Well, I was bored last night and decided to click on some of my ancestor names that I had not researched in a while to see if there were any new records for them on Ancestry.com. So imagine my joy when I see that mystical flashing leaf that Ancestry.com makes use of on one of my lesser researched lines. I was hoping for a terrific find, so glorious that I would be the basis for the next Ancestry commercial. I clicked on it and was led to another subscriber's family tree. I always like to check out other trees because you never know what research leads you will find. This particular tree was sourced only by other Ancestry Family Trees. There is an option to click to see the individual family trees the subscriber references. I was surprised to find my own tree was used as a reference. I must admit that I was pleased that someone felt my information accurate enough to reference. But I also felt a bit dismayed. How could they be sure that I was right? Maybe I made the whole thing up for jollies. How would they know? I try to use sources whenever I can, but most of them are not referenced in my Ancestry tree. Am I a source Nazi?
It could be argued that the individual that sourced my tree (and the two others listed) was only sourcing it as a reference for one particular fact, or that they wanted to note it to return to it later. It can also be argued that they utilized the option on Ancestry to "Save this person to your tree," without a second thought.
I have worked hard to find the family on my tree and it is only fair that I share that work with others that may not have access to the types of resources I do, like family histories, photos, etc. Plus, what would genealogy be without sharing. Yet I feel that I must remind my fellow researchers of the dangers of accepting something sight unseen. Will it change the world? Will anyone get hurt? Of course not. But what if you accept someone's tree as fact and it isn't right? You think you're an Arbuckle but you're really a Wiggle. That could add up to research time and funds wasted.
I shall step off my box now.
