The Washington State legislature is a bicameral body, similar to U.S. Congress, with an upper chamber called the Senate and the lower chamber, The House of Representatives. There are 49 legislative districts in Washington State; each district is served by one Senator and two House members. There are a total of 147 legislators, with 98 House Representatives and 49 Senators. Members of the Senate are elected to four-year terms, and the House members are elected to two-year terms.
The Senate and House of Representatives meet in session each year to create new laws, change existing laws, and enact budgets for the State. The legislative cycle is two years long. Within that two-year cycle, there are two kinds of legislative sessions: regular sessions and extraordinary, or special, sessions. Regular sessions are mandated by the State Constitution and begin the second Monday in January each year. In odd-numbered years, the budget year, the legislature meets for 105 days, and in even-numbered years for 60 days.
Twenty years ago, Eastside leaders came together and formed the East King County Chambers of Commerce Legislative Coalition to advocate for critical business legislation in Washington State. The Coalition brings together ten chambers of commerce representing the Eastside business community and enables these chambers to speak with a unified voice on legislative issues. The Coalition develops a variety of annual publications and brings lawmakers and business leaders together through events and activities.

Jay first became involved in public service in 1985. Motivated to fight against proposed funding cuts for rural schools, Jay went on to represent the 14th Legislative District in the state House of Representatives. He continued serving communities in the Yakima Valley when he was elected to Congress in 1992. The Inslees later moved back to the Puget Sound area where Jay was elected to Congress in 1998, serving until 2012.

Madison school inspires University of Wis. to create wheelchair lift that promises more access
MADISON, Wis. – An elementary school principal has inspired the University of Wisconsin-Madison to create a new wheelchair lift that could help make more places wheelchair accessible.
The invention process began three years ago when the principal at Emerson Elementary School in Madison, Karen Kepler, told a school donor her biggest wish was for her building to become accessible to everyone. All four entrances had stairs.
The donor went to the University of Wisconsin-Madison for help.
Engineering professor Jay Martin, his students and others came up with the Funicular. It's a platform that uses rollers and a modified chain hoist. It allows users to move up the stairway by turning their wheels on the rollers.
Martin says it's still in the prototype phase but several companies have expressed interest in producing it.

From Kitchen Star To Salvation Army Chef
ST. PAUL (AP) - A Minnesota chef is making delicious meals in an unlikely place - a Salvation Army soup kitchen.
Forty-year-old Jeff Ansorge left a posh downtown Minneapolis restaurant last year to become head cook at a Salvation Army soup kitchen in St. Paul.
Ansorge says a spiritual awakening led him to his new job. He makes just one-third of his previous salary.
But he still brings his culinary skills to bear making salmon, ribs and stews for the poor and homeless.
Salvation Army Capt. John Joyner says Ansorge makes "phenomenal meals" that would cost a lot at a restaurant.
For the Thanksgiving meal that's being served Wednesday, Ansorge is serving a traditional turkey feast on tables with white tablecloths.

Was this film pushed back? Because I thought it was supposed to come out in December. Still, February is a good month for a zombie romantic comedy.
While not the most original story, the film does definitely look well done with a sharp eye for comedic detail and timing. The PG-13 rating is a little damning (even Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland were rated R), but I am more than willing to give the film the benefit of the doubt and director Jonathan Levine is a strong up and coming filmmaker who can pull this story off.

It's a surprisingly decent film. Nothing ground break (it's Romeo and Juliet...with Zombies, though not quite so heavy-handed on the Shakespeare), and the films science makes very little sense (then again, Zombies don't make sense to begin with). But it is well done (if overly simplistic and never quite living up to its initial premise), solidly paced, clever, quirky yet earnest (but not too earnest), and Nicholas Hoult is a very confident (and ridiculously cute) lead. I do appreciate the attempt at minor satire, it certainly elevates film beyond is slight story, but in the end this is just a well crafted B-movie with little aspiration to be anything but a fun divergence. Well done, but almost a trifle. 73/100.
(As an aside, there's only one good feeding scene (that also acts as a damn fine meet cute), so hardcore Zombie fans might be upset about that. And the Zombie make-up is underwhelming at best, and the antagonistic zombies are too fake looking to be taken seriously.)

Yuru Zhang - iDental A Simulator for Dental Skill Training
Published on May 29, 2015
Abstract: Virtual reality based surgical training is an emerging area of research interests. We have developed iDental, a simulator with haptic-visual-audio feedback for dental skill training. The simulator aims to train dental students in their early stage of learning to acquire basic operational skills. Based on our unique haptic rendering methods, iDental achieved some important features, including 6 degree-of-freedom haptic feedback, deformable object simulation, bi-manual coordination, and the simulation of fine manipulation in a narrow oral cavity. In this talk, I will briefly introduce the functions and the features of iDental, discuss challenging problems in haptic rendering, present preliminary user evaluation results and highlight some future research and development topics.
Biography: Yuru Zhang is a professor in the School of Mechanical Engineering and Automation at Beihang University in Beijing where she served as the associate dean of the school, the associate director of Robotics Institute. Currently she is the associate director of the State Key Laboratory of Virtual Reality Technology and System. Her primary research interest is haptic human-machine interaction including haptic user interface, teletraining and neurohaptics. She has published over 150 technical papers and holds 22 issued patents. She co-authored two books including "Robotic Dexterous Hands" funded by the National Science Foundation of China, and "Haptic Rendering for Simulation of Fine Manipulation" published by Springer. Professor Zhang is a senior member of IEEE and a member of ASME. She is on the Advisory Board for Teaching, the Ministry of Education, China. She was awarded the Outstanding Professional for the 21 Century by the Ministry of Education and the Excellent Investigator Award by the formal Ministry of Aeronautics Industry in China.

Larry Smarr - The Human Microbiome and the Revolution in Digital Health
Published on Mar 14, 2014
The human body is host to 100 trillion microorganisms, ten times the number of cells in the human body and these microbes contain 100 times the number of DNA genes that our human DNA does. The microbial component of our "superorganism" is comprised of hundreds of species with immense biodiversity. Thanks to the National Institutes of Health's Human Microbiome Program researchers have been discovering the states of the human microbiome in health and disease. To put a more personal face on the "patient of the future," I have been collecting massive amounts of data from my own body over the last five years, which reveals detailed examples of the episodic evolution of this coupled immune-microbial system. To decode the details of the microbial ecology requires high resolution genome sequencing feeding Big Data parallel supercomputers. Since modern medicine has not taken into account the nature and changes in the human microbiome, we can look forward to revolutionary changes in medical practice over the next decade.
Larry Smarr is the founding Director of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2), a UC San Diego / UC Irvine partnership and the Harry E.

Vending machines generally offer up sodas, candy bars and chips. Not so for the one created by TED Fellow Gabe Barcia-Colombo. This artist has dreamed up a DNA Vending Machine, which dispenses extracted human DNA, packaged in a vial along with a collectible photo of the person who gave it. It's charming and quirky, but points out larger ethical issues that will arise as access to biotechnology increases.

Arkansas sophomore G BJ Young adjusting to increased offensive role as playmaker
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – One of BJ Young's reasons for returning to Arkansas for his sophomore year was to improve as a playmaker.
The Razorbacks' guard has done just that, nearly doubling his assists total while facing defenses that are geared to stop the talented scorer.
Heading into Wednesday night's game against Mississippi State (7-9, 2-2 Southeastern Conference), Young is fourth in the SEC in assists at 4.2 per game. That's up from the 2.3 assists he averaged last season, when he led Arkansas (11-6, 2-2) in scoring at 15.3 points per game.
The 6-foot-3 Young once again leads the team in scoring at 17.2 points per game, third-best in the SEC. It's his role, however, as an offensive facilitator — including a season-high nine assists earlier this season against Alabama A&M — that coach Mike Anderson has stressed and noticed.

Paul Davis preaches the virtues of soil improvement from no-till, never-fallow farming as part of his job as New Kent County Virginia Extension Coordinator. He practices what he preaches at his family farm near West Point, Va.
With fertilizer costs, especially nitrogen, at record prices, Davis is determined to demonstrate that improving soil quality can dramatically decrease nitrogen requirements for grain crops.
"We have been in continuous no-till on our family farm since 1999. We know we are improving soil quality and using less nitrogen, but it's a slow process. We want to jump start the process and reduce the number of years it takes see input costs go down and yields stay high," he says.
Davis points out that Virginia grain farmer Randolph Aigner has been in continuous no-till for 12-14 years. In that time frame the organic matter on his farm has slowly increased from 1 percent to 1.5 percent to nearly four percent.
"We are hoping to demonstrate some ways to cut that time frame so growers can take more immediate advantages of no-till farming systems," Davis says.
On the Coastal Plain soils at his family farm, after years of conventional-tillage, organic matter averaged about 1.4. Since going to no-till they are close to reaching their first goal of 3 percent to 3.5 percent using a combination of no-till and cover crops.
In one 40 acre field the innovative Virginia Extension agent looked at rye, vetch and a combination of rye and vetch as cover crops for a rotation of pumpkins, soybeans and corn.
At the end of the study he hopes to know more precisely how much nitrogen is available to small grains from the vetch cover crop.
In the interim, results are positive, he says. "Last year in pumpkin fields where we planted vetch we used only the standard 65-70 pounds of nitrogen and had a great crop. In fields with rye only as a cover crop, we had to come back with an additional 40-50 pounds of nitrogen per acre," he says.
The combination of vetch, plus getting organic matter up near 4 percent, he hopes will significantly reduce nitrogen use in soybeans and corn. "We know we get about 250 pound of nitrogen uptake from the cover crops. If we can make half that available for grain crops planted into the stubble, we will be able to save significant money on fertilizer," Davis contends.
The carbon to nitrogen ratio for rye is about 50:1, compared to less than 20:1 for vetch. It is clear, Davis says, that vetch breaks down quickly and releases high rates of nitrogen. Keeping nitrogen in the soil and making a high percentage of it available to subsequent crops is the trick.
To many small grain growers vetch and rye are dirty words because of their persistence in grain crops. Davis used a combination of gramoxone, 2-4,D and a plant growth regulator to burn down vetch and manage the escapes. He also planted Liberty Link corn, which provided yet another safeguard for vetch control.
"Glyphosate, gramoxone, none of the usual burndown herbicides will take out vetch," he says. "To be successful a grower must have Bicep or some other plant growth regulator in the mix. In our 40-acre test field, the combination did an outstanding job of controlling rye, vetch and the rye-vetch combination," he adds.
Davis says one of his goals is to use a starter fertilizer in corn — something like a 30 percent blend of UAN at 40 pounds per acre. Once organic matter is high, he hopes the cover crops will provide all the additional nitrogen his corn crop will need.
The veteran Virginia Tech Extension agent is also looking at different application methods for nitrogen in hopes of one-day using high tech GPS-guided, variable rate nitrogen application.
In his 40-acre test field, Davis used a Red Ball 1410 nitrogen injection rig to place nitrogen about 2 inches deep in the soil. He compared this application to the tradition method of dribbling nitrogen over the soil. He used rates of 40-80-120 and 160 pounds of nitrogen per acre.
Though the crop has not been harvested, Davis says there is a noticeable visual advanatage of the soil injected nitrogen at various rates. The surface applied treatment will lose some nitrogen to volatilization, some to leaching and soil microbes will take a share of it as it works its way down to the root zone.
Another goal he says is to never be fallow — to keep something green on the soil all year round. With the increased interest in double-crop beans behind wheat in the past couple of years, growers are finding 'never fallow' is a tough goal to meet. Getting a cover crop in behind double-crop beans is tough, Davis admits.
The state of Virginia offers an incentive program for farmers to use various cover crops. To take advantage of the cost sharing money, growers must get most cover crops in by Oct. 1.
"We want our system to work without the cost sharing money, That's why we are taking this study to the next level, using high tech equipment like the Red Ball applicator, Greenseeker tissue sensor and ultimately GPS guided, precision applied variable rates of fertilizer," he says.
Though they grow pumpkins as part of the 40-acre test, Davis says the cover crops, soil applied starter fertilizer and other production techniques would work just as well on more traditional crop rotations, such as wheat, corn and soybeans.
A big advantage of growing pumpkins in the vetch/rye stubble, he says, is keeping the Halloween treats clean. He says they never have to clean mud, not even dirt from the pumpkins, which grow nicely sitting up on the cover crop mat.
As fuel and fertilizer costs continue to soar, growers are going to look for innovative ways to cut input costs. The secret to never-till/never-fallow, Davis knows is to cut the time frame back from 10-12 years to 7-8 years.
A host of production factors in addition to costs seem to be coming together to force more and more growers to look at lower cost options to conventional-tillage practices. The whole arena of herbicide resistance is a major player as more and more materials lose activity on a broader scope of weeds and grasses.
Innovation often comes from desperation, and risks involved in growing high value, high input grain crops will likely force more and more growers to look for new, efficient cost-saving production practices, like never-till/never-fallow.

Black Tide's Zakk Sandler: 'Post Mortem' is the Album We Needed to Make
Black Tide's sophomore album, 'Post Mortem,' is the album Zakk Sandler says the band always wanted to make. Moreover, unlike some bands that are chained to a label's idea of what's marketable, Sandler says Black Tide had complete freedom over the creative process on the album, and that's why it turned out so close to their vision.
"I think the response has been pretty positive considering that we did change a lot over the course of the last four years," Sandler told the Midland Daily News. "It sounds how we wanted it to sound and we were able to write the songs the way we wanted to. We were given a ton of freedom to make the record we felt we needed to make."
Sandler went on to talk about growing up in the music world. He and the boys of Black Tide started rocking shows when they were merely teens, and Sandler says that's both a good and a not-so-good thing. "It's been hard in the sense that we didn't get to have some of those normal experiences most people have with school and growing up with our friends," he said. "I didn't even finish high school or participate in most school functions because the band has been my priority for the last eight years or so.
"Being away from family, friends, and loved ones is always difficult and I think that has definitely taken its toll on us. The stories and experiences though, could never be beaten."
Speaking of the guys getting their musical start as youngings, Black Tide frontman Gabriel Garcia started writing songs when he was just 10 years old! Read more, here.

The Life and Death of Felix Mantz
Martyr's Mirror
- Martyrs Mirror is a 1660 Dutch book that records the deaths of thousands of Christians, especially European Anabaptist martyrs between 1524 and 1660. View all resources by Martyr's Mirror
Felix Mantz was a Swiss Anabaptist who began to teach that infant baptism was wrong, and that a second baptism was needed upon conversion. The town council of Zurich declared that those who taught this should be baptised once more, by drowning. The following is from The Martyr's Mirror, a book popular amongst the Anabaptists and Mennonites.
Felix Mantz was also an originator of the Reformation of the faith, in Germany, and when he, with great zeal, practiced, taught, and preached, the recognized truth of the Gospel, he was envied, accused, and imprisoned by his adversaries, and finally drowned at Zuerich, for the evangelical truth, thus becoming a witness of the sufferings of Christ. This occurred in the year of our Lord 1526. He left the following admonition to his fellow brethren, for their comfort, "My heart rejoices in God, who gives me much knowledge and wisdom, that I may escape the eternal, and never-ending death. . Therefore I praise Thee, O Lord Christ from heaven,. that Thou dost turn away my sorrow and sadness; Thou whom God has sent me as a Saviour, and for an example and a light, and who has called me into His heavenly Kingdom, already before my end has come, that I should have eternal joy with Him, and should love Him and all His righteousness, which exists here, and which shall endure forever hereafter, and without which nothing avails or subsists; hence so many who do not have this in truth, are deceived by a vain opinion. But alas I how many are found at the present who boast of the Gospel and speak, teach, and preach much about it, but are f ull of hatred and envy, and who have not the love of God in them, whose deceit is known to all the world, as we have experienced in these latter days, that those who have come to us in sheep's clothing are ravening wolves, who hate the pious on the earth, and obstruct the way to life and to the true sheepfold. Thus do the false prophets and hypocrites of this world, who curse and pray with the same mouth, and whose life is disorderly. They call upon the authorities to kill us, by which they destroy the very essence of Christianity. But I will praise the Lord Christ, who exercises all patience towards us; for He instructs us with His divine graces, and shows love to all men, according to the nature of God His heavenly Father, which none of the false prophets are able to do., "Here we must observe this difference, that the sheep of Christ seek the praise of God; this is their choice, and they do not suffer themselves to be hindered either by possessions or temporal good, for they are in the keeping of Christ. The Lord Christ compels no one to come to His glory; only those that are willing and prepared attain unto it by true faith and baptism. Whenever a person brings forth genuine fruits of repentance, the heaven of eternal joys is, through grace, purchased and obtained for him by Christ, through the shedding of His innocent blood, which He so willingly poured out; thereby showing us His love, and enduing us with the power of His Spirit, and whoever receives and uses it grows and is made perfect in God. Only love to God through Christ shall stand and prevail; not boasting, denouncing, or threatening. It is love alone that is pleasing to God: he that cannot show love shall not stand in the sight of God. The true love of Christ shall not destroy the enemy; he that would be an heir with Christ is taught that he must be merciful, as the Father in heaven is merciful. Christ never accused any one, as do the false teachers of the present day; from which it is evident that they do not have the love of Christ, nor understand His Word; and still they would be shepherds and teachers; but at last they will have to despair, when they shall find, that everlasting pain shall be their recompense, if they do not reform. Christ also never hated any one; neither did His true servants, but they continued to follow Christ in the true way, as He went before them. This Light of life they have before them, and are glad to walk in it; but those who are hateful and envious, and do thus wickedly betray, accuse, smite and quarrel, cannot be Christians. They are those who run before Christ as thieves and murderers, and under a false pretense shed innocent blood. By this we may know them that are not on the side of Christ; for they, as children of Belial, prompted by envy, destroy the ordinances of Jesus Christ; even as Cain slew his brother Abel, when God accepted the offerings of Abel.
With this I will finish my discourse, desiring that all the pious be mindful of the fall of Adam, who when he accepted the advice of the serpent, and became disobedient to God, the punishment of death came upon him. Thus it shall also happen to those who do not accept Christ, but resist Him, love this world, and have not the love of God. And thus I close with this that I will firmly adhere to Christ, and trust in Him, who is acquainted with all my needs, and can deliver me out of it. Amen."

Before surgery, your child's healthcare provider will give you a careful explanation of what procedure will be done and the risks involved. You will be asked to sign an informed consent form. It states in detail that you understand the risks and benefits of your child's surgery.
One or both parents usually sign for a minor child. But if the child is living with a legal guardian, the healthcare provider will ask the legal guardian to sign. Legal guardians will be asked to show documentation to prove this legal relationship exists.
Parental (or legal guardian) consent is needed for any diagnostic or surgical procedure on a person under the age of 18. Because adolescents are able to contribute to informed decisions about their health and the treatment they will get, they should be included in discussions about surgery. Although not legally necessary, some adolescents like to sign the consent form for surgery. This is in addition to their parents or guardians.
An emancipated minor is a minor who has become a legal adult. He or she is responsible for his or her care as granted by the legal or court system. Before the court grants a minor an "emancipation," he or she must meet certain state requirements. The criteria vary by state. The court must also determine that being emancipated is in the best interest of the minor. An emancipated minor may consent to his or her own medical care.

Mutual Fund Shareholders: Characteristics, Investor Knowledge, and Sources of Information
by Gordon J. Alexander, Ph.D.
OCC Working Paper 97-13, December 1997
This paper analyzes the responses from a nationwide telephone survey of 2,000 randomly selected mutual fund investors who purchased shares using the services of six different intermediaries, referred to as distribution channels -- brokers, banks, mutual fund companies, insurance companies, employer-sponsored pension plans, and "other" (e.g., financial planners). The survey provides data on the demographic, financial, and fund ownership characteristics of mutual fund investors. Furthermore, it contains data on investors' familiarity with the costs and certain investment risks associated with mutual funds and the information sources used to learn about these costs and risks. Accordingly, it is possible to create a measure of each mutual fund investor's overall level of financial literacy. The results, given in Congressional testimony by OCC and SEC officials, discussed by the popular press, and cited in a recent SEC rule proposal, suggest that there is room for improvement in investor knowledge of the expenses and risks associated with mutual funds and that more can be done to make mutual fund prospectuses more useful to investors.
As with all OCC Working Papers, the opinions expressed in this paper are those of the author alone, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or the Department of the Treasury.
Any whole or partial reproduction of material in this paper should include the following citation: by Alexander, Jones, and Nigro, "97-13 "Mutual Fund Shareholders: Characteristics, Investor Knowledge, and Sources of Information" Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, E&PA Working Paper 97-13, December 1997.

In the heart of coal country, one community is bridging the gap between the RE and coal industries.
In downtown Williamson, West Virginia, the Coal House—a building erected in 1933 from 65 tons of coal taken from the nearby Winifrede Seam—stands as a symbol of the region's coal mining legacy. But next door, located in ground-floor space of the historic Mountaineer Hotel, a "smart office" is taking shape, powered by a 3-kilowatt grid-tied PV system on the building's roof. Designed to serve as a high-tech hub for the region's RE development, the office houses Sustainable Williamson (SW)—a nonprofit formed in 2010 by the city of Williamson's redevelopment authority.
Side by side, the two spaces represent a vision for Williamson's future—one in which fossil fuels and RE coexist. "We're trying to transcend the traditional conflict-based approaches. You can't make progress here with the us-against-them mentality," says Eric Mathis, the director of Strategic Initiatives for SW.
Mathis—who describes himself as an evolutionary, not an environmentalist—appreciates the hope RE represents for economically depressed Appalachian communities, but he is sensitive to the region's coal legacy. He believes there is room for both coal and RE—a belief that, he admits, makes him pretty unpopular in some circles.
"Environmentalists either love me or hate me. It is easy to say everything about coal is evil when talking about a nameless, faceless coal company you read about in the news. Here, we're talking about real people, generations of men and women who have worked hard to provide energy for this country. People are quick to forget that coal spurred the industrial revolution, and has essentially powered the lifestyles and luxuries we've enjoyed," Mathis says.
Born and raised in rural North Carolina, Mathis is among the minority in Williamson who does not have a direct lineage to the coalfields. He moved to Williamson in 2006 after graduating from Appalachian State University, where he spearheaded one of the country's first student-led RE initiatives. He worked as a data analyst at a local law firm until he saved up enough money to start The Jobs Project, a nonprofit program that provided RE job training and resources for entrepreneurs. In collaboration with the Williamson redevelopment authority, Mathis joined forces with other community groups to form SW.
The organization is tasked with the challenge of preparing Williamson for life after coal. As production in the region slows, and mining operations become increasingly automated and less labor-intensive, Williamson and other coal communities need new revenue streams and new jobs to survive.
Faced with a city budget gap, Williamson Mayor Darrin McCormick entered office and raised the fees for general city services (i.e., trash, fire, police, and sewer) in 2007, but he told his constituents that he would do everything in his power to avoid another fee increase. He heard about Mathis' jobs program, and began brainstorming with him about ways for the city to reduce its bills and operate more efficiently. Though he admits to being skeptical at first, he came around to the idea of RE. "A lot of Williamson residents are on fixed incomes, and rate hikes have a detrimental effect on their quality of life. I knew it was time do something, and energy efficiency and renewable energy made sense, but I knew we could not turn our backs on coal," McCormick says.
"Coal may be a dirty four-letter word to some people, but around here, it is a way of life—how people have put food on the table and clothes on their children's backs," says McCormick. "Despite what the rest of the country believes, we realize that coal is a finite industry, and to survive, we realize that we need to create new opportunities. We're making progress here in Williamson because, instead of attacking our way of life and trying to take down coal, we're respecting it and trying to preserve it. Sustainability, energy efficiency, and renewable energy not only give our community a future after coal, but they also allow us to extend the life of the industry and have the time we need to build our new economy."
A grant from West Virginia's Department of Energy provided lighting and HVAC efficiency upgrades to city government buildings. The city also received grants and training through a redevelopment program. But Mathis says the city is trying "to steer clear of handouts and subsidies" and "rely on the market to drive financing for energy projects."
The plan is to create new jobs by diversifying the region's energy portfolio with utility-scale biomass and solar projects. The ultimate goal, Mathis says, is to convert Williamson to a microgrid system, which would draw from "integrated energy parks." There, utility-scale natural gas, biomass, and solar projects would occupy active and reclaimed mine sites. Drawing on a microgrid would allow the city greater control in choosing what energy sources are used and when they are used to meet the city's demand, and help keep utility rates down.
However, building a microgrid may take decades. For now, Mathis is focusing on ways to draw energy developers to the region. A centerpiece of the SW plan is job training. "Having a labor force skilled in sustainable technologies will make this region more attractive and viable for developers," Mathis says.
With oversight from professional installers, crews of SW volunteers and trainees have installed several PV systems, including an evacuated tube solar thermal system on the Williamson Fire Station and an 11.3-kilowatt rooftop system on the town's health and wellness center. The SW team is also engineering a pilot solar garden that will provide power for five city government buildings from a former hilltop-mining site. It will be the first of several in the region, Mathis hopes, though replicating the concept in other communities may be restricted by the state's current two-mile limitation on virtual net metering.
Mathis utilizes each solar installation in town as a training opportunity, inviting local contractors and electricians to participate. He also recruited several volunteers from a green-construction training program run by Coalfield Development Corporation, a nonprofit that builds green homes for low-income families. One of those volunteers was 21-year-old Josh Napier, who worked on the system at the fire department and, more recently, the smart office (see "Getting Smarter" sidebar). Napier says he is now planning to pursue additional solar training and someday start his own construction business.
Mathis is also developing a formal training program in green construction and solar installation with the Sustainability Institute at the Bridgemont Community and Technical College in Montgomery. The program will include testing through the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners, as well as on-the-job training. The goal is to train high school graduates, but also train out-of-work miners and coalfield tradespeople.
While Mathis' openness to coal may not sit well with some, his ideas have won national recognition. He was a 2010 recipient of the Interstate Renewable Energy Council's Innovation Award for Community Renewables and a 2012 White House Champion of Change for Greening our Cities and Towns. Naysayers may have their doubts as to whether SW can pull off all of its grand plans, but Mathis remains confident. "Change," he says, "is on the horizon."

UV eye protection
Ultraviolet (UV-) radiation can cause permanent damage to both the skin and eyes. It is therefore strongly recommended not only to observe the sun protection rules but also to effectively protect the eyes from the sun.
Sun glasses are absolutely essential not only to protect our eyes against glare but also to stop UV-radiation entering our eyes. However, not all sunglasses will provide sufficient UV-protection. In contrast to glare reduction which can be tested by the customer himself, one cannot tell the UV-protective effect of sun glasses.
UV-filtering effect
Measurements have shown that the manufacturers' information is relatively reliable. For instance "UV-400", or "100 per cent UV-protection" means that the sunglasses filter out all of the UV-radiation up to 400 Nanometres (nm), which is sufficient to fulfil the UV-filtering requirements on lens quality of sunglasses. It is therefore vital to pay attention to the corresponding designation when buying sunglasses.
Please note: UV-protection provided by sunglasses lenses with vision correction may be insufficient as a result of lens processing!
Lens tint/shading
As to the level of lens tint, sunglasses lenses should fall within category rating number 2 or 3. This information is mostly found on a tag or label attached to the eyeglass or to the temple arm (e.g. "cat2"). Tint category 1 scarcely protects against glare, tint category 4 is too dark to permit good sight and is, for instance, not road legal. For extreme exposure conditions such as on snow in the high mountain range, it is advisable to choose appropriate cat4-glacier goggles with side protection which in addition filter out all of the blue light.
Lens colouring
Appropriate colourings are brown or grey. These colourings are ideal for good sight. Blue and red colourings interfere with contrast rendition and visual acuity.
Side coverage
Since UV-radiation scatters strongly, sunglasses should be chosen considering good side protection (either by the lens size or by the sunglasses' design). This is easily to be judged by the customer.
Choice of material
Since UV-protective coating is specifically applied by the manufacturer, the choice between genuine glass and synthetic material is irrelevant for the UV-filtering effect. The former recommendation to use genuine glass dates back from 15 years ago when low-price sunglasses made of polystyrene were manufactured without additional UV-protection which involved indeed a serious hazard to the eyes.

Maintenance noise that was mistaken for gunfire caused a commotion during the downtown Minneapolis lunch rush Friday, as police spent more than two hours searching an office building filled with Target employees.
Police received a 911 call about 11 a.m. Friday that shots were heard on the upper floors of the Retek building on 10th Street between LaSalle Avenue and Nicollet Mall. Target, which leases office space in the 12-story building, said about 1,300 of its employees and contractors work there.
A public address system warned workers of an "active shooter alert" and advised them to stay in their offices. After a search, however, heavily armed police found no evidence of a shooting.
"There are no victims, no suspects, nothing to indicate that there was in fact shots fired," said acting police Chief Janeé Harteau.
The building was cleared as safe at about 1:20 p.m.
Police later learned that maintenance workers on the upper floors had been using "a construction tool that mimicked the sound of gunfire," according to a news release.
"As always, our primary focus is on the safety and well-being of our team members," Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder said in a statement. "We are thankful for the quick response of the local officers and to our team for their cooperation."

By Ashby Jones at The Wall Street Journal Law Blog
Oh to be back in college. The parties, all that time to stretch out with the world's great books, those absolutely mind-blowing affirmative-action bakesales.
Yes, we jest – at least on the last point. Truth is, we've never experienced an "affirmative-action bakesale," though we understand that they've popped up on college and university campuses periodically over the last several years. The bakesales, typically put together by conservative student groups, attempt to make a political point about the alleged unfairness of affirmative action by charging different prices for cupcakes and other baked goods based on one's race and sex. For instance, white and Asian males might be charged $1 for a cupcake, while black and Latino males might be charged 50 cents, etc., etc. Click here for an article from 2003 on one such event held at UCLA.
Perhaps not surprisingly, such events typically provoke controversy on campus. But few have gotten as heated, it seems, as one currently roiling Bucknell University, a liberal arts school in Lewisburg, Pa.
According to this Philadelphia Inquirer article out Tuesday, the Bucknell administration shut down one of these bakesales in April.
Shortly thereafter, according to the Inquirer, the university president, Brian Mitchell, received a flurry of letters, emails and phone calls protesting the move. Then a group called FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights in Education) got involved, sending off this doozy of a letter to Mitchell last month, protesting not only the bake sale move, but an earlier move in which the same conservative group was prohibited from passing out anti-stimulus handbills in the form of fake dollar-bills that portrayed President Obama.
Wrote Adam Kissel, a director at FIRE:
Bucknell is not the only university that has attempted to shut down an affirmative action bake sale protest on the ground that it is "discriminatory." [Others have] attempted to shut down affirmative action bake sale protests or punish their sponsors on similar grounds. FIRE intervened in each of these cases and the institutions relented, realizing that attempting to silence this type of political protest runs afoul of free expression and opens the institution to legal liability for violating the First Amendment, or the university's contractual promises of freedom of expression, or both.
But Bucknell was undeterred. The school's general counsel, Wayne Bromfield, sent back this letter earlier this month, stating that neither "instance is a matter of free speech. To the contrary, they are matters of campus safety and fairness." On the bakesale issue, Bromfield stated: "disparate racial pricing for doughnut sales – was prohibited because we cannot and do not permit facially discriminatory practices."
So who, legally, is in the right here? It's tough to say. Sheldon Steinbach, a Washington-based higher education law expert, told the Inquirer that for private universities, such a decision was a "judgment call."
We checked in with Kissel, who conceded that the First Amendment probably didn't apply to Bucknell, a private university. That said, Kissel said he was "sure" that he and the group were on the right side of the legal battle. The school's Student Handbook instructs students not only that they have freedom of speech but that "deliberate interference" with this freedom is prohibited. "It could create a contractual issue," said Kissel.
We also checked in with Tom Evelyn, a spokesman for Bucknell, who said "this is not a free speech issue at all." He said that in regard to the Obama dollars, the students hadn't followed the right protocol to distribute leaflets. And the bake-sale "violated the anti-discrimination policy. That much is very clear."
The issue could flare up anew in the fall. Travis Eaione, one of the group's members, told the Inquirer the group might try to hold another similar bakesale when students are back.
Answered Bucknell's Evelyn: "If it's the same kind of bakesale, we'll have the exact same objections."Download file "Bucknell and the 'Affirmative-Action Bakesale'"

|Please ignore the crap on our bedside tables...
But for today's purposes, I'm going to focus on the positive.
One of the things that I love about quilts (especially scrappy ones) is that you can incorporate leftover fabrics from other projects into the quilt, allowing you to have a quilt comprised of so many positive memories.
The yellow polka dot fabric is left over from a little skirt that I made for my niece for her third birthday.
The blue apple fabric is from the Oliver and S playsuit that I made for Baby O.
But most special of all, the blue and purple patterned fabric is left over from the birthday dress that I made for Baby O for her first birthday. Long after she outgrows that dress and it's packed away in a box, never to be seen again, I'll be able to look at this quilt and remember when Baby O looked like this.
I'm hoping that all the positive memories from the fabrics in this quilt erase all the negative memories from the actual making of this quilt. Ughh!
The quilting of this quilt on my little home machine was a less than enjoyable experience.
There were times that I thought I was going to pull a muscle as I tried to get to those inner blocks!
Despite the lover's quarrels that this quilt and I had at times, I think that we've arrived at a good place in our relationship and we're excited to be entering 2011 together.
Happy New Year to you all! May 2011 bring you much joy and happiness!

When GT Haus showed up with this Flossman-kitted widebody at the yearly SEMA show in Las Vegas, opinions were mixed. Show attendants tended to either drool or throw up. Those who threw up really only pretended to do so, stating that widebodies only belong on racecars. Those who loved it, well they just ogled it, some of them touching their nether regions. And while it's not a racecar, it looks like one and definitely can't be hurt by the extra grip in the corners from tires and wheels allowed by the extra wide stance.
John Kang is the man responsible for this fat-tracking phenom. He founded GT Haus nine years ago. Primarily an exhaust manufacturer (Meisterschaft systems), GT Haus is also the distributor for other European brands such as Arden, Kreissieg exhausts and Neez wheels from Japan, as well as Flossman products.
Those of you who know your German goods should recognize the body kit as Flossman-derived. The ALMS GT2 widebody kit is based on the Letterman/Rahal racecar that competed successfully in the ALMS in 2008. It consists of front and rear bumpers, front arches, rear quarter panels, side skirts, a CSL-style carbon trunk, and a GT2 vented hood. The entire amalgam of body mods is covered in Lamborghini Balloon White paint and the requisite M-sport stickers.
Not all opinions concerning the E90's widebody are so extreme. Some have said the front arches are too big and tacky and that GTH should have pulled them out to make them flow better with the chassis. Others say the opposite, that the fronts are molded well into the body but the rears are just odd and look out of place. Sitting in the GT Haus SEMA exhibit pretending to take pictures is a great way to eavesdrop and hear the pundit's opinion.
One other industry professional was overheard commenting: My only grievances are with the near-horizontal vents in the rear arches as well as the additional set of vents in the bonnet, she said. Plus, the exhaust is a little awkward and with a kit as brazen as this it needs a spoiler. Since then, the spoiler has been added. Along with that optional GT2-style wing, a vented roof, carbon doors, and a motorsport-style dash are all available for consumption.
Looking like an ALMS racecar doesn't come cheap. This kit will set you back about $12,500. If you'd like to save $2,500, you can opt for the fibe glass version. For that you're getting the front and rear bumpers and the sideskirts. The latter are supposed to bolt straight on while the former require some modification. GT Haus advises that you have an expert on hand if you decide to do it yourself.
If 10 inches wider isn't enough, there's a Flossman GTR kit available. That one isn't so practical for the street, so for those who would like to be able to fit through the drive-through at the local Del Taco there's a milder GT3 version available.
Being constructed of carbon and Kevlar, the kit shown does have some practical advantages. It shaves about 148 pounds off the curb weight. I love the transformation and the fact that we've managed to reduce weight, Kang says. But best of all we've built the world's only street version of the E92 M3 GT2.
When we first saw the car it had black 20-inch RAD Dynamics rims. The next time we spotted him was at M-Fest last May and the look had changed dramatically for the better. A slight change in the graphic-and-paint scheme was accompanied by a set of Savini three-piece forged rims measuring a little smaller in the front along with a suspension drop in the same area. These wheels, measuring 10.5x19 fore and 11.5x20 aft, are wrapped with Nexen N3000 tires. Years back, a young entrepreneur came out with a wheel that had neon spokes primarily intended for the mini-truck market. Those flashy rims obviously disappeared with that hideous little fad. But Savini appears to have found a magic paint that has almost the same effect as neon. With their deep orange-copper hue, they seem to glow like four cylindrical spinning portals to Hades.
Such macabre metaphors don't apply to the ride height. Kang and crew dropped the front to the dirt by lowering the KW coilovers over an inch to the ground as compared to its height at SEMA. These springs use an isolator box to prevent BMW's Electronic Damper Control system from interfering while avoiding fault codes being thrown up.
Initially, Kang told me he had a supercharger ready but was waiting to break in the motor a little more before putting the supercharger on. Then at M-Fest he said that since his was an exhaust company, he didn't want people thinking that the charger made the sweet sound that would really be coming from the Meisterschaft GTC (EVC) controlled exhaust system with an LX mid pipe that deletes the secondary cat. While the sonorous note from the pipes is nothing if not rapturous, like a dinosaur that just devoured a V8, we'd love to see GT Haus put their money where its mouth is with some forced induction.
Until then, we'll just have to wonder what that wide stance could do with more power. But in the meantime, an E92 with M-power and a track 20 inches wider than stock is no stick in the mud.
The alms GT2-style kit is based on the Letterman/Rahal racecar that competed in the ALMS in 2008.

20 Games Like Beauty & The Beast: Roar of the Beast(TBA)
Sonic Mania Plus
Sonic Mania Plus is an expanded version of Sonic Mania.

Super Mario World
Super Mario World (known in Japan as Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros. 4) is a side-scrolling platformer developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System on November 21, 1990 (in Japan), August 31, 1991 (in North America), and April 11, 1992 (in Europe).
One of the launch titles of the SNES (and bundled with early systems in North America), Super Mario World is the fifth main game in the Super Mario series. (starring Nintendo's mascot, Mario, and his brother, Luigi). The game follows both Mario brothers as they explore Dinosaur Land (known for its large amount of dinosaurs) to find and defeat the evil Koopa king Bowser (and his seven underlings, the Koopalings) while rescuing Princess Toadstool.
Along with new abilities (such as the "Spin Jump"), a new power-up (the "Cape Feather") and more obstacles, the game introduces dinosaur companions (known as Yoshi) that Mario and Luigi can ride. Yoshi, known for using their long tongues to snare and eat enemies, have become a fan-favorite among the series (giving them their own games and spin-offs, most notably this game's prequel).
Special bundles of the SNES in 1994 included a compilation cartridge mixing Super Mario World with Super Mario All-Stars. The only difference in this version is a new sprite set for Luigi. The original game was later ported to the Game Boy Advance on February 11, 2002 as Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2. Along with a special version of the original Mario Bros., the port includes a variety of differences, including Luigi as a selectable character (who now has unique features, such as his floating jump from Super Mario Bros. 2), new voice acting, and the ability to save anywhere. The original game was also digitally re-released in Nintendo's Virtual Console platform for the Wii (on February 5, 2007) and Wii U (on April 26, 2013).

Yoshi's Strange Quest
This is the sequel to Mario's Strange Quest. Picking up where Mario's Strange Quest left off, it turns out that the part where Yoshi's eggs hatched at the end of MSQ didn't actually happen. What really happened after Mario beat Bowser, rescued Yoshi's eggs, and saved the princess was that Yoshi and his sleepy friend decided to move to a new land so that he can protect his eggs from Bowser before they really hatched. So, both Yoshis do so and they find themselves in the land of Weirdonia. However, it seems that Bowser apparently insists on stealing Yoshi's eggs, since Yoshi's eggs were stolen again while Yoshi was out shopping. Since Mario isn't around to help this time, Yoshi goes on a quest by himself to retrieve his eggs. However, just like Mario's Strange Quest, this isn't your ordinary quest. The land of Weirdonia is a strange land filled with bizarre gimmicks, weird themes, and possibly jelly filled donuts and pizza. Expect the unexpected during Yoshi's journey.

Flashback: 25th Anniversary
Microïds and Paul Cuisset are pleased to announce that Flashback, the classic action-adventure game, will be available on Nintendo Switch starting June 7th, 2018.
In the Nintendo Switch version of Flashback, players will be able to choose between the original 1993 gaming experience and Modern mode, which contains:
Honey Bee
Queen Bee is very annoyed at the fact that honey production is very low. Many of her worker bees are just too damn lazy. Luckily, there's one reliable busy, but clumsy bee available for the job, and that is you, Buzzy.
Queen Bee sends you out into the wild to bring back pollen so that bee farmers can produce more scrumptious honey for the villagers. In order to do this, as Buzzy, you must go to the flowers in each of the 16 screens and pick out pollen from one flower. You must then drop the pollen into the hive (from any height). Once you have pollen in your possession you are unable to pick any more up until it has been dropped into the bee hive. If you drop pollen in the wrong place, or lose a life, you will have to restart the current level all over again.
Avoid crashing into buildings, rocks, flower stems, flowing water (waterfalls are okay though), tree branches, the ground, lava, and of course, the natural wildlife.
Tomba! is a side-scrolling platformer in which players control Tomba, a wild boy on the search for his grandfather's bangle that was stolen by some evil pigs. Although Tomba is normally restricted to a two-dimensional plane, there are certain points where he can jump or climb onto a new plane. Tomba's main method of attack is to jump on top of enemies to grab them, allowing him to hop around on them before throwing them away. This can also be used to open other objects such as eggs or treasure chests. Tomba is also able to use various projectile weapons such as maces and boomerangs and can swing on branches and poles.
The game is based around a mission system, where the main character's (Tomba's) skills are employed to complete various tasks. Completion of a mission gives a certain amount of adventure points (AP) which are required for AP boxes which contain food (which gives you AP and restores 1 space of vitality) or items, and you may for example need 50,000 AP to open one. AP is also used to gain access to special places or information later in the game. Not all missions are necessary to progress in the game, however, they are required to achieve full completion. There are 130 events (missions) in the game, many of them rely on other events to be completed.

The Flintstones
This is a platform game based on the famous Flintstones series. The game features many original Flintstones characters, such as Fred, Wilma, Barney, and others. Instead of the usual "save the princess" or "liberate the world" kinds of a plot, "The Flintstones" is mainly based on small quests: Fred has to retrieve a lost item, etc. The large levels are divided into smaller stages. In the end of each level there is a boss battle. The gameplay involves mostly jumping and hitting the enemies on the heads with a club. The health is measured by hearts. During the game Fred will find many useful items, including some that will increase his health level.
Neverball is a 3D platform game similar to Super Monkey Ball. Tilt the floor to roll a ball through an obstacle course before time runs out. Neverball is part puzzle game, part action game, and entirely a test of skill. It is currently available for Windows platforms, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, Dreamcast, AmigaOS 4, iOS and Maemo. Neverball is free software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In under an hour and a quarter, MIT men's tennis team swept Babson College and earned itself a spot in Sunday's New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) tournament finals. In a match that was played to decision, MIT beat the Beavers 6-0 and led in all nine matches at DuPont Tennis Courts.
The Engineers got off to a great start, winning all three doubles matches in fairly convincing fashion. Ken Van Tilburg and Matthew Skalak won 8-3 over Simeon Human and Mitchell Henry, while Curtis Wu and Larry Pang handled Nissim Cohen-Sabban and Austin Conti by an 8-2 score. The closest match was at third doubles, where the Beavers' Rushab Tanna and Danny Schneider put in a valiant effort but were held off by Andrew Cooper and Edwin Zhang, 8-4.
Needing only to win two singles matches to secure the victory, MIT went to work and efficiently finished off Babson. The first matches to be completed saw Pang defeat Cohen-Sabban at fourth doubles (6-3, 6-0) and Brian Oldfield beat Human 6-1, 6-2 at third. Andrew Cooper also won going away, beating Tanna 6-1, 6-0 at sixth singles. Zhang and Wu were each leading their singles matches when play ended, as was Van Tilburg, who was a game away from polishing off Conti at the second spot (6-0, 5-3).
The Engineers improve to 12-4 on the year and are looking to win their 13th straight NEWMAC men's tennis tournament. MIT will await the winner of the second semi-final, between Wheaton College and the US Coast Guard Academy. That match will take place at 3:00 PM, with the final being played Sunday at 1:00 at MIT.
Babson finishes their season at 8-13, and had a 2-3 conference record this season.

Construction of Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) new spaceship-like headquarters will be delayed by at least a year after the Silicon Valley tech giant revised some parts of the plan earlier this month, according to a report by Bloomberg.
Continue Reading Below
The circular-shaped building design planned in a 176-acre space in Cupertino, Calif., is now expected to be under construction until at least mid-2016, about a year later than originally projected.
The smartphone pioneer also said it likely won't break ground until 2014, two years after it had originally forecasted, according to Bloomberg.
The new headquarters, which is expected to be in addition to its main campus down the road, was the vision of former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who died late last year.
When Jobs originally presented the plan to the city council in June 2011, he imagined a massive spaceship building that could hold 12,000 employees.
After notifying the city in August that it planned to update the proposal, Apple reportedly filed new plans on the spaceship project earlier this month.
Apple did not immediately respond to FOX Business for a comment.
With cash and short-term equivalents of more than $29 billion, Apple's liquidity has enabled it to gobble up rivals, deliver value to shareholders through a major dividend announced this year and invest in real estate to help cushion its rapidly growing workforce.
Late last month, Apple reported mixed fourth-quarter earnings but said it expects holiday sales to grow 12% year-over-year to $52 billion.
