Kenyan Mall Siege in Final Stage [VIDEO]
Kenyan security forces were in the final stages of flushing out al-Qaida-linked terrorists from a besieged shopping center, the vice president said late Monday, two days after the upscale mall was seized by members of a Somali terrorist group that invaded with guns blazing.
The country's interior minister said it was unlikely that any more hostages remained inside Westgate Mall.
Three attackers had been killed in the fighting Monday, officials said, and more than 10 suspects arrested. Eleven Kenyan soldiers were wounded in the running gun battles. By evening, Kenyan security officials were claiming the upper hand.
"Taken control of all the floors. We're not here to feed the attackers with pastries but to finish and punish them," Police Inspector General David Kimaiyo said on Twitter.
Kenya's interior minister said the evacuation of hostages "has gone very, very well" and that Kenyan officials are "very certain" that there are few if any hostages left in the building.
Vice President William Ruto landed in Kenya late Monday after International Criminal Court officials in The Hague gave him permission to return to Kenya. Ruto is on trial for crimes against humanity charges over allegations he helped orchestrate Kenya's 2007-08 post-election violence.
Ruto said security forces were in the final stages of flushing out any remaining terrorists inside the mall.
Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku also revised the death toll to 62. Kenyan officials earlier said 59 people have died since the siege on Westgate Mall began on Saturday, while the Red Cross had put the toll at 68, then in a tweet lowered it to 62, saying some bodies had been counted twice.
Dark plumes of smoke rose from the mall for more than an hour after four large explosions rocked the upscale Westlands neighborhood. A person with knowledge of the rescue operation told The Associated Press that the smoke was rising up and out of a large skylight inside the mall's main department and grocery store, Nakumatt, where goods like mattresses may have been lit on fire.
Kenya Chief of Defense forces Gen. Julius Karangi said fighters from an array of nations participated in the attack claimed by al-Shabab.
"We have an idea who these people are and they are clearly a multinational collection from all over the world," he said.
Karangi said Kenyan forces were in charge of all floors inside the mall, though terrorists could still be hiding inside. Earlier witness reports had indicated that a woman was among the estimated 10 to 15 attackers. Lenku said that instead some male attackers had dressed up like women.
The four explosions were followed by volleys of gunfire, then a thick, dark column of smoke that burned for roughly 90 minutes. Military and police helicopters and one plane circled over the Nairobi mall, giving the upscale neighborhood the feel of a war zone.
On Sunday Kenyan officials announced that "most" hostages had been rescued. But no numbers were given. Kenyan officials have never said how many hostages they thought the attackers had, but have said preserving the hostages' lives is a top priority.
Kenyans and foreigners were among those confirmed dead, including British, French, Canadians, Indians, a Ghanaian, a South African and a Chinese woman. The UK Foreign Office said Monday it has confirmed the deaths of four British nationals.
From neighboring Somalia, spokesman Sheik Ali Mohamud Rage for al-Shabab -- the militant group that claimed responsibility for the attack -- said in an audio file posted on a website that the hostage takers had been ordered to "take punitive action against the hostages" if force was used to try to rescue them.
At the Oshwal Centre next to the mall, the Red Cross was using a squat concrete structure that houses a Hindu temple as a triage center. Medical workers attended to at least two wounded Kenyan soldiers there on Monday.
Al-Shabab said on a Twitter feed, an account that unlike some others appears to be genuine, that the attackers had lots of ammunition. The feed said that Kenya's government would be responsible for any loss of hostages' lives.
As the crisis surpassed the 48-hour mark, video taken by someone inside the mall's main department store when the assault began emerged. The video showed frightened and unsure shoppers crouching as long and loud volleys of gunfire could be heard.
The al-Shabab extremists stormed the mall on Saturday from two sides, throwing grenades and firing on civilians.
Kenya's Red Cross said in a statement, citing police, that 49 people had been reported missing.
Al-Shabab said the attack, targeting non-Muslims, was in retribution for Kenyan forces' 2011 push into neighboring Somalia.
Al-Shabab is an extremist Islamic terrorist force that grew out of the anarchy that crippled Somalia after warlords ousted a longtime dictator in 1991. Its name means "The Youth" in Arabic, and it was a splinter youth wing of a weak Islamic Courts Union government created in 2006 to establish a fundamentalist Islamic state in the East African nation.
Al-Shabab is estimated to have several thousand fighters, including a few hundred foreign fighters. Some of the insurgents' foreign fighters are from the Middle East with experience in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. Others are young, raw recruits from Somali communities in the United States and Europe.

Solar panels or photovoltaic panels are devices that convert light from the sun directly into electrical energy. Solar panels comprises of several solar cells that are interconnected with both series and shunt (parallel) configuration. The sun can provides enough energy for all human needs if only it could be well harnessed. Solar power is one of the alternative energy sources that has seen a lot of development in the past two decades.
The principle of operation of solar cells can be explained using Einstein's photoelectric effect theory. But first, it is good to know the physical structure. A solar cell is a semiconductor device that is made up of two or more differently doped layers that form junctions. These junctions respond to various wavelengths of light. Sunlight, or any other light is made up of tiny packets of energy know as photons. The sun produces about 1000 watts per square meter.
When a photon hits the surface of a solar panel, electrons are stripped off and becomes free. This effect causes an electric field to form at the junction which attracts electrons from one junction (n-type side) to the other (p-type side) through an external circuit. The flow of these electrons from the n-type side to the p-type side creates an electric current.
The voltage generated by each solar cell is usually very small and cannot have a practical use. To overcome this, several solar cells are connected together to produce a useful amount of energy. One solar cell can generate a current of about 0.2A at 1.2V giving an output power of 0.24W. A connection of solar cells forms a solar panel. The panels can further be connected to form modules.
In the UK, the new Green Deal is the key to figuring out which improvements will help homes and businesses be more productive. It is also the key to getting qualified for access to solar panel grants and loans in the United Kingdom. To understand this, learn a bit more how the UK Green Deal works.
This government program works with private businesses and property owners in order to encourage improvements that help save energy and produce energy more efficiently and in a cleaner way. Once a home is analyzed for its present condition and possible improvement, this program also helps both home and business owners find ways to finance them.
These are some typical improvements that might be suggested as ways to help save power, money, and the climate:
New heating
Draught sealing
Double-glazed windows
Generation of renewable energy, including solar panel installations in Lostwithiel, wind power, and heat pumps
The UK Green Deal website provides a lot of information about this program.
You might be interested in qualifying for grants or other kinds of financial assistance with energy bills. The government website even has a grant calculator that you can use to get an estimate of any help you might hope to qualify for. All you need to start is a general idea of the age of your building and any improvements that you have already installed.
There are many benefits to solar electricity in your home or workplace. Some of them include:
Those are just a few of the amazing benefits of home solar panels in Lostwithiel. Now you may be thinking, that sounds wonderful, but is it going to cost me a lot of money just having it installed and maintaining it. Well, a typical 4kWp system in England can produce around 3,800 kilowatt hours of electricity per year, which equals about a typical home's electricity needs. The same system in Scotland can produce about 3,200 kilowatt hours of electricity per year, which is more than three quarters of a typical home's electrical needs. That saves more than a tonne and a half of carbon dioxide each year. You can find a great chart online showing you all the averages in prices based on location and sizes as well as the savings on electricity and carbon dioxide. If you know your systems size, you can even receive a custom made estimate of FIT payments for your system using the calculator for Solar Energy.
In Northern Ireland, a 4kWp system can produce maybe 3,400 kilowatt hours of electricity per year, equaling a typical home's needs. This saves over a tonnes and a half of carbon dioxide each year.
Our team of companies work with our customers to deliver and install the highest quality, most cost effective and visually attractive solar installation in Lostwithiel, with the minimal impact to their surroundings and their environment.

text: Every year, thousands of riders swarm the town of Wichita Falls, Texas for the largest 100 mile bike ride in the nation. This year was no different, as the 2012 Hotter'N Hell 100 attracted almost 12,000 riders, plus racers for criterium races, mountain bike races, a USCF sanctioned men's and women's road race, a trail run, 10k run, and half marathon run – this is one busy weekend! The mid-90's temperatures for the Saturday event were cooler than the past several years, when temperatures were well over the 100 degree mark. Even though it was cooler this year, the wind picked up to over 20 mph during the day and blew straight into the rider's faces as they rode the last half of their routes. Performance Bicycle supported the event by providing a hydration and nutrition station at the Finish Line Village on Friday and Saturday.

The well-documented problems farmers in the Southeast are having with several weed species that have developed resistance to glyphosate are part of a world-wide and ongoing problem discussed by scientists from North and South America and Europe at a recent Syngenta-sponsored Media Summit.
Interviews conducted with 400 farmers, split into the southern and northern U.S., revealed some startling information about the reality and perception of herbicide resistance in the U.S. Criteria for farmers interviewed was to grow more than 250 acres of corn and/or more than 500 acres of cotton.
Of the farms surveyed in the South, 83 percent use Roundup Ready technology. Of these growers, 42 percent use only glyphosate for weed control. Average use of Roundup Ready technology in the South was 4.4 years.
In the South, 39 percent of growers reported having glyphosate resistant weeds. Of these growers nearly 25 percent indicated 100 percent of their acreage has glyphosate resistant weeds. Nationwide, less than 5 percent of farmers surveyed indicated they would reduce use of Roundup Ready technology to solve their resistance problems.
Southern farmers who do not have resistance problems on their farms indicate they expect glyphosate resistance would cost them an extra $15-16 per acre for weed control and 7-8 percent yield loss.
Perhaps the most the stunning information coming from the Syngenta-sponsored survey is that over half (53 percent) of southern farmers surveyed believe new products will solve the problem.
Mark Swinney, who heads Syngenta's product development program in the United Kingdom, contends that is not likely in the near future. Spinney noted that in Europe, growers have lost 47 herbicides to a lack of re-registration since the inception of Roundup Ready technology.
Industry-wide, he says, there has been a decrease in research and development spending by agri-chemical companies by 17 percent. Even if the mythical magic bullet is found to control weeds that are currently resistant to glyphosate, the time from discovery to market is roughly 10 years.
At the 2005 Beltwide Cotton Conference, Allen York, widely regarded as the dean of southern weed scientists, warned cotton growers that there would be no silver bullet to combat weed control. He also indicated herbicide resistant Palmer pigweed may be a bigger threat to southern cotton production in the 21st century than the boll weevil was in the 20th century.
Spinney says there are 183 weeds worldwide with scientific documentation of resistance to herbicides. While most are manageable with current herbicides, some like water hemp and its cousin Palmer amaranth are not because of their ability to develop resistance to multiple modes of action.
The magic bullet scientists are seeking is a herbicide that contains: a new mode of action, broad utility, ability to pass regulatory hurdles, safe for crops, address current resistance issues and justify the cost of development.
Currently, only 11 companies worldwide are seeking such a product. By comparison, in 1985, 35 companies were actively pursuing new herbicides.
Though growers in the Southeast contend the situation couldn't get much worse with pigweed now resistant to both ALS and glyphosate-based herbicides, it could get much worse, and the problem is by no means limited to the U.S.
In South America, Ribas Vidal, professor of weed science at the University of Rio Grande du Sol in central Brazil, says four provinces in the northern part of Argentina documented cases of glyphosate resistant johnsongrass in 2006. Already, Vidal says, researchers in Brazil have found suspect cases of resistance in johnsongrass in soybean fields there.
A huge problem in Brazil, and one that will likely become bigger in parts of the U.S. is wild poinsettia. This weed has shown multiple herbicide resistance, including glyphosate resistance and is a problem on over 40 million acres in Brazil.
In the U.S., Bill Johnson, an associate professor of weed science, first started fighting glyphosate resistance problems in 2003 when resistant horsenettle or marestail started showing up in Indiana. Though a problem, Johnson contends this weed is only a minor nuisance compared to what is on the horizon.
In the Midwest, he says waterhemp has emerged as one of the most problematic weeds in soybeans. Multiple resistance to triazine and ALS chemistry has been well documented. Now, to a lesser degree the weed has shown resistance to glyphosate. Johnson, speaking at the Syngenta-sponsored Media Summit, showed some dramatic pictures of lambsquarters and giant ragweed, both of which have shown resistance to glyphosate. Another long-time Weed Scientist, Ken Smith, from the University of Arkansas, says agricultural production systems in his state and throughout the upper Delta region are built around glyphosate. Widespread resistance, he contends, would be most devastating in cotton, because there are no alternatives that most cotton farmers can afford. Soybeans, he says, is a close second, only because there are limited alternatives to glyphosate.
Smith says the use of Roundup Ready technology has created a tremendous increase in acreage among farmers who previously farmed 2,000 acres or more. By 2006, he estimates 30 percent of farms over 2,000 acres got bigger. The concept of farming more acreage with less equipment is based on glyphosate, and more so than any time in history, time is money for these growers.
The Arkansas weed scientist concurred with others on the panel that horsenettle resistance got some growers attention, but is basically a manageable problem. In 2005, Arkansas weed scientists found a 500 acre farm with pigweed that showed signs of glyphosate resistance.
Further greenhouse studies in 2006 leave little doubt the problem is there. The question, he says, is how fast will it spread?

Homeowners insurance policies are not one-size-fits-all. While a typical policy comes with certain coverages, it's usually customized to meet each individual homeowner's unique needs.
Homeowners insurance is made up of coverages that may help pay to repair or replace your home and belongings if they are damaged by certain perils, such as fire or theft. It may also help cover costs if you accidentally damage another person's property or if a visitor is injured at your home.
Homeowners insurance typically helps cover:
You may also be able to purchase additional coverages for greater protection.
Typical homeowners insurance policies offer coverage for damage caused by fires, lightning strikes, windstorms and hail. But, it's important to know that not all natural disasters are covered by homeowners insurance. For example, damage caused by earthquakes and floods are not typically covered by homeowners insurance. You may be able to purchase separate insurance policies to help protect your home and belongings against those types of risks.
When it comes to protecting your home, quality coverage makes all the difference. Allstate home insurance can help take care of what matters to you.
In most cases, you will typically have to pay your deductible before your insurance benefits kick in to help cover a loss. Read your policy or contact your agent to review your coverage limits and deductibles. You can typically adjust them to fit your needs.
The protections offered by a homeowners insurance policy may serve as a safety net if the unexpected occurs. A local agent can help you select the coverages and limits that make sense for you.

Hidden Pressure
Neurology Now
September/October 2008;
Volume 4(5);
p 23–26
Smolinsky, Michael
For more information on hydrocephalus, please see RESOURCE CENTRAL on page 37.
Often misdiagnosed as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, or the inevitabilities of aging, "normal pressure" hydrocephalus is a treatable condition. But first it has to be recognized.
When Nancy Murray's balance and memory began deteriorating in her 40s, her doctor told her, "You're approaching 50. What do you expect? You can't be 20 for the rest of your life."
But Murray had been experiencing balance problems since her 20s. It wasn't until she totaled her car that this 55-year-old advertising manager from McLean, VA, was examined for adult normal pressure hydrocephalus (sometimes abbreviated NPH), a neurological condition that can cause problems with memory, bladder control, balance, and "gait" (one's manner of walking).
"I'm lucky to be alive," Murray says. "My balance had gotten so bad that I was leaning over to the right all the time. I drove off the right side of the road into an embankment."
One diagnostic challenge is that "the classic symptoms of adult normal pressure hydrocephalus—trouble with walking and balance, thinking and memory, and bladder control—are also the most common problems of aging," says Michael A. Williams, M.D., medical director of the Brain & Spine Institute at LifeBridge Health and director of the Adult Hydrocephalus Center at Sinai Hospital, both in Baltimore, MD.
Bob Fowler's experience was similar to Murray's. The late Texas oilman dozed off on a drive to Houston and woke up in a roadside ditch. Fowler was misdiagnosed with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's for almost 10 years before being told he had adult normal pressure hydrocephalus and undergoing shunt surgery in 1999. He passed away earlier this year (from leukemia, which is unrelated to hydrocephalus), but not before raising awareness of this treatable disease.
The cognitive deficits of adult normal pressure hydrocephalus can resemble those of Alzheimer's disease, and the gait disturbances can resemble Parkinson's. Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic estimate that as many as 10 percent of people with dementia attributed to other disorders may actually have adult normal pressure hydrocephalus.
Compared to Fowler and Murray, 71-year-old John Howland was fortunate. This former submariner and director of the U.S. Navy's Deep Submergence System Division was only medicated for Parkinson's for two years before being evaluated for hydrocephalus.
"My wife was getting more and more impatient," Howland remembers. "Eventually she said, 'That's it, I'm calling Hopkins,'" referring to the Johns Hopkins Hydrocephalus Center in Baltimore, MD, which is where they first were evaluated by Dr. Williams.
"The lucky ones are able to be their own health advocates or have a loved one advocating for them," says Dory Kranz, executive director of the Hydrocephalus Association in San Francisco, CA (hydroassoc.org ). "They keep asking the same questions of different doctors until they find out what's wrong." Kranz learned about the condition through the experience of her father-in-law, Dick Kranz. It took at least six years from the onset of Dick's gait problems to get a correct evaluation. (See box on page 26 for symptoms.)
Once called "water on the brain," hydrocephalus is an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid within cavities in the brain called ventricles. This fluid, which is produced in the ventricles and circulates through them continuously, has a number of functions. It surrounds the brain and spinal cord and acts as a cushion against injury, contains nutrients needed for the normal function of the brain, and carries waste products away from surrounding tissues. Every day the body makes roughly 8 oz. of it, and about the same amount is reabsorbed into the bloodstream.
Hydrocephalus is due to an imbalance between the amount of fluid that is produced and the absorption rate. As the fluid builds up, it causes the ventricles to enlarge and the pressure inside the head to increase, compressing surrounding brain tissue and leading to neurological complications. Adult normal pressure hydrocephalus occurs most often in people 60 and older and can result from bleeding in the ventricles, meningitis (inflammation often due to infection), head trauma, tumors or cysts, or for no known reason ("idiopathic").
"Some patients and families don't think of the symptoms of hydrocephalus as a problem," Dr. Williams says. "They consider them a normal part of getting older."
In Dick Kranz's case, embarrassment got in the way. "Dick and my mother-in-law conspired to keep the incontinence from us and the doctors," Dory Kranz recalls.
Doctors often fail to recognize the condition as well, something that experts hope will change. "If any one of the symptoms is evident, normal pressure hydrocephalus should be considered and ruled out before moving on to a diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer's disease," says Anthony Marmarou, Ph.D., professor and vice chairman of the department of neurosurgery and director of research at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond. "Too many people may be living with normal pressure hydrocephalus and suffering needlessly."
Headaches, head fullness, and vision problems—common symptoms in other forms of hydrocephalus—may offer more obvious clues to abnormal pressure inside the brain. But in adult normal pressure hydrocephalus, these symptoms often never show up, and the pressure can remain hidden.
"Our studies have found that only about 15 percent of elderly idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus patients have headaches or head fullness. This is much less frequent than the young and middle-aged adult group, in which 55 percent have headaches or head fullness," Dr. Williams says.
Dr. Williams examines computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to see if a patient's ventricles are larger than they should be for his or her age. "But because the ventricles get larger with age, you can't make a diagnosis on the basis of CT or MRI scan alone, except in rare circumstances," he says.
For Dr. Williams, a patient's response to cerebrospinal fluid drainage—done by lumbar puncture (spinal tap)—is the key to diagnosis and the best indicator of whether shunt surgery will be an effective treatment, and one worth the risks.
"The nice thing about cerebrospinal fluid drainage is that all the other variables—age, other disorders, overall health—stay the same," he notes. "A temporary spinal catheter is inserted in the back to drain the fluid. We look for a 'Wow!' response, where the patient feels substantially better, especially in terms of gait, and the physician can document the improvement. Ninety to 95 percent of the people who respond this way will have success with shunt surgery."
John Howland was one such patient. "I had a lot of trouble walking," he remembers. "My gait was awkward and my feet felt funny, like I was walking in mud. I would lose my balance on uneven ground. Dr. Williams did a spinal tap and said, 'Let's see you walk down the hall and the stairs,' and I walked straight as an arrow, no problem."
Hydrocephalus is most often treated by surgically inserting a shunt. "The shunt is the only effective treatment for hydrocephalus," says Dr. Williams, "with one exception: Between five and six percent of elderly patients have obstructive hydrocephalus, caused by tiny blockages in the passageways of the ventricles. An alternative treatment for these patients is endoscopic third ventriculostomy, which involves poking a hole in a membrane in the third ventricle to create a detour for the fluid."
There are three components to the shunt: a thin flexible tube that goes into the brain; the valve, which is a spring mechanism; and another tube that carries the fluid to the abdominal cavity or some other part of the body to drain.
The development of the adjustable shunt has made a big difference in shunt's success and safety. "You can change the tension on the spring, thereby changing the pressure that allows it to open," Dr. Williams says. "These adjustments take 10 or 15 seconds and can be made without further surgery. It's like adjusting medication dosage: You want enough spinal fluid to drain, but not too much."
A study conducted by Dr. Marmarou and his colleagues of 151 patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus (published in the Journal of Neurosurgery in 2005) found that two-thirds (100) improved with temporary drainage. That group then underwent surgery to implant an adjustable shunt, and 91 percent of them benefited from the implant.
In Dick Kranz's case, the surgery was almost immediately successful. However, he soon became a victim of a rare but serious complication: a stroke. Careful monitoring for this post-surgical problem can minimize or prevent serious consequences, Kranz says.
Other complications may include mechanical failure of the shunt, infections, blockages, the need to lengthen or replace the tube, and over-draining, which can result in a subdural hematoma (bleeding). "There is a gap between the brain and the skull that contains blood vessels," Dr. Williams explains. "If too much fluid is drained, the brain pulls away from the skull, which can cause bleeding."
According to the Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Guidelines (published in the journal Neurosurgery in 2005), the reported incidence of subdural hematoma varies widely, from 2 percent to 17 percent, and the reported incidence of infection varies from 3 percent to 6 percent.
"The risks of the procedure include the risk of general anesthesia (very low), the risk of passing the shunt into the brain (very low), the risk of infection (low), and the delayed risk of subdural hematoma (low)," Dr. Williams points out. "But those risks have to be put into context. If you put a shunt into a patient who has very little chance of responding, then those risks are proportionally greater because they're not balanced by benefit."
"The improvement can be substantial," observes Dr. Williams. "Some people who were in wheelchairs will come in after surgery with only a cane, or nothing. They join what some patients call the 'I put my wheelchair in the garage' club. This is really satisfying—you give people their lives back. They have improved bladder, mobility, and cognitive function. Many patients have more modest improvement, depending in part on whether they have other health problems contributing to their symptoms, but it can be enough to make the difference between dependence and independence."
For Nancy Murray, the treatment has been life-changing. "The surgery was probably the best thing that's happened to me in about 30 years. I feel better than I did when I was 30 years old. And now, I still get up five years later and think, I feel so good today it's just unbelievable. My balance is better, my memory is better, my cognitive skills are better."
Left untreated, people with hydrocephalus do get worse with time, though the degree to which relief of pressure following shunt surgery can minimize or reverse damage to the brain is not well understood.
"Hydrocephalus can go on for a long time and still get better," Dr. Williams says. "The brain seems to tolerate it better than a number of other disorders, and this is something that people in the field are researching now."
"Normal" Pressure?
The name "normal pressure" came out of a 1965 medical paper describing cases of hydrocephalus where the symptoms occurred in the presence of supposedly normal cerebrospinal-fluid pressure. The paper was published before continuous pressure-recording techniques were available. We now know that "normal pressure" is a misnomer.
Symptoms of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
* GAIT DISTURBANCES can range in severity from mild imbalance to the inability to stand or walk. Patients may have trouble picking up their feet, which makes climbing stairs difficult and often results in falls. They may also have difficulty turning around, rotating slowly with multiple small steps. Gait disturbance is usually the most pronounced symptom and the first to become apparent.
* MILD DEMENTIA shows up as a loss of interest in daily activities, forgetfulness, difficulty dealing with routine tasks, and short-term memory loss. These cognitive symptoms are usually less severe than full-blown dementia and are often overlooked. Sometimes cognitive changes can only be detected with extensive neuropsychological testing.
* IMPAIRMENT IN BLADDER CONTROL is usually characterized by urinary frequency and urgency in mild cases, and a complete loss of bladder control (incontinence) in more severe cases. Urinary frequency is the need to urinate more often than usual, sometimes as often as every one to two hours. "Urgency" is a strong sensation of the need to urinate. Sometimes the urge is strong that it can't be held back, resulting in incontinence. Some people never display signs of bladder problems.

Failing to finish off the digital comics platform in their first attempt, Marvel hopes to finally get the job done starting April 11th.
Source: Press Release
The last time Marvel Comics offered 700 #1 issues of its comics for free on Comixology, they struck a blow against the digital comics platform that not only disrupted service on the site, but also shook the faith of users of the platform in the durability of the service. By making it impossible for users to access their comics, stored securely in the cloud as a toothless anti-piracy measure, readers were made aware of the fact that they don't actually "own" the comics they've purchased through the service or any of the brand-specific apps based off of it. With digital comics readers on the ropes from that attack, Marvel plans to put the final nail in the digital coffin when they offer those 700 issues for free again.
"You may have escaped this time, Comixology!" is what we imagine Marvel CCO Joe Quesada shouted from atop his hovering Goblin Glider after last month's giveaway. "But I'll be back!"
"Mwahahahaha," he probably added before tossing exploding pumpkin bombs into a crowd of onlookers and flying off into the night.
This time, Marvel is asking that customers head over to a special promotional page and register to be notified of the giveaway. Ostensibly, the idea is that they can invite people to choose their free issues in groups, reducing the load on Comixology's servers, but the plan is probably designed to crash the beleaguered digital comics platforms servers twice: once during registration, and once during the actual transactions.
Marvel, as part of a secret group of comic book industry illuminati, has engaged in a plot to make digital comics unattractive to customers by keeping price points unnaturally high and locking away the actual files on cloud servers that could disappear at a moments notice. All of this is in the name of protecting the 'Direct Market," a monopoly that forces all printed comic books to be distributed by Diamond to local retail stores that use advanced techniques such as "bad smells" and "Magic: The Gathering tournaments" to repel new readers and ensure that comics are a niche market consisting only of aging fanboys with the constitution to enter local comic shops and purchase decompressed superhero chapbooks for $3.99. Allegedly.
If you'd like to help Marvel in its quest to finally destroy Comixology once and for all (and with their obnoxious penchant for spelling their brand with the X capitalized instead of the C, which we refuse to indulge, who could blame you?) head over to the registration page and sign up to be notified when your chance to strike is at hand.
Here's the press release:

What about people that didn't sign up? Are they going to have to miss out?
by GLX » Mon Apr 08, 2013 3:04 pm
That's what I gather.
Anyway, if all of the comics that were free last time are included (along with some new Marvel NOW #1's that came out recently), you'll easily be able to find entire trades in single issue form.
Big Hero 6 collection of the Chris Claremont's mini.
Spider-Man/X-Men Digital Spectacular collection Spider-Man/X-Men and some old-school Claremont stories.
The Siege one-shots.
The Captain American and...one-shots.
Various annuals including a few Joe Kelly Deadpool comics.

Did Maria Sharapova go too far in celebrating win over Venus Williams?
The hotly anticipated Australian Open match between Maria Sharapova and Venus Williams was a snoozer, and not just because it started at 3 a.m. on the East Coast. Sharapova broke Venus in her first two service games, won the first set 6-1 and cruised to an easy victory in straights.
It was a routine third-round win for Sharapova over an aging opponent she had a winning record against. So why did the Russian tennis star celebrate like she won a Grand Slam title?
Sharapova let out a loud shriek and thrust her fists in the air on match point, then bent over at her knees to shout again while making her way to the net. To watch it, you'd think she just endured a marathon win.
Jon Scott of Tennis.com says the conduct was 'unbecoming a champ."
It's true that a 6-1, 6-3 match that was basically over at 4-0 in the first wouldn't normally draw such celebration, unless it happened in a major final. A cathartic release at the end of a back-and-forth match — think Novak Djokovic in last year's Australian Open — is understandable. Yelling after a third-rounder that was never much in question?
Still others have said on Twitter that Sharapova's celebration was a sign of respect for Venus.
I tend to think Sharapova was equating beating Venus with beating Serena, the Williams sister she's always had trouble with. Without getting too much into armchair psychology, Sharapova reacted as if in order to slay Serena, she first had to get Venus. Never mind that beating the older sister hasn't been an issue.
Venus seemed amused with the antics. It was like she knew that beating her is no longer an achievement worthy of such celebration.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Competing for the first time in nearly two months, the MIT rifle team hosted Penn State, Penn State ROTC, Coast Guard and the Wentworth Institute of Technology in the annual Beanpot competition. Penn State edged MIT for the Beanpot team title, edging the Engineers by 41 points.
Today's action also served as the collegiate sectional for all of the teams other than Penn State. With its aggregate score second only to the Nittany Lions, the Engineers were the winners of the sectional competition, an important consideration when qualifying for the Mid Atlantic Rifle Conference championships next month.
Junior Elizabeth Phillips (Anchorage, Alaska) led MIT in the smallbore competition, totaling a 549 that was good for 3rd overall in the competition. Senior Nigel Kojimoto (Honolulu, Hawaii) was next for MIT with his score of 536, with senior Jennifer de Bruijn (Harare, Zimbabwe) just one shot behind with her total of 535. Junior Timothy Jenks (The Woodlands, Texas) completed the MIT smallbore scoring with his effort of 522.
In the air rifle portion of the match, it was de Bruijn that came up with the top score for the Engineers, with her total of 569 setting a season-high for her and standing as the second best score of the day from any shooter. As he did in the smallbore, Kojimoto had the second-best score for MIT, posting a 559. Just two points behind was Phillips and her 557, with senior Michael Batista (Melbourne, Fla.) rounding out the scoring for MIT with his total of 539.
Senior Christian Valledor (Ft. Leavenworth, Kan.) also had a good day for MIT, posting his season best effort in air rifle with a 530.
MIT will return to action on February 18 when it competes at Coast Guard at 9:00 a.m.

Four suspects caught in scary Houston game room holdups
Four men have been arrested in connection with two armed robberies last summer at west Harris County game rooms.
A fifth man has been charged but remained at large Friday.
Elbert Avie, 47, of far west Houston, and Jeremiah Dellavecchia, 27, of Humble, are accused of being involved in both robberies, according to court records.
The first holdup happened just after midnight June 14 at The Jokers Wild game room, 930 S. Mason Road. The robbers there got away with $70,000, taken from both customers and the business, a release from the Harris County Sheriff's Office said.
The second robbery took place about 2 a.m. July 27 at a game room at 2002 Fry Road.
Suspects in that incident are Kendrick Wilder, 22, of Brookshire; and Sheriff Eyitayo, 21, and Khristian Perez, 24, both of Houston.
Perez was not in custody Friday.
In the July robbery, the perpetrators disarmed a security guard, but the release did not state how much money was stolen. Hundreds of illegal game rooms in Harris County are potential targets for robberies and shootings, the release stated.
Sgts. R. Coleman and S. Ashmore of the sheriff's office investigated the two cases.
On March 1, new regulations take effect allowing authorities to shut down game rooms that don't meet licensing or fee requirements.

2. Follow people: Go to your most trusted twitter connection and "mine" their "following" list located on the right sidebar. This is exactly like mining a blogroll on a popular blog
3. People Search: Perform a people search and follow people in your industry
4. Company Search: Perform a company search and follow companies that are in your industry, competitors, niches that work with your niche
5. Direct Message: Send a direct message to someone you wish to connect with on twitter. Offer value, ask for feedback, provide your feedback, interact and collaborate

Chadron State College is making changes to its academic and service organizational structure to improve efficiency and better serve students and faculty members.
Dr. Randy Rhine, CSC vice president for enrollment management and student services, said the reorganization within the student affairs operation is designed to give students a better experience while doing business with CSC.
"In the past, people have been required to visit seven different people on campus in order to become a student at Chadron State," Rhine said. "We expect this new system to reduce that number to as few as one."
Now, students will be directed to one of a number of "generalists" on campus, each who will serve as a single point of contact to usher the enrollees through a variety of administrative hurdles. The generalist also will provide students with information on how to use the new self-service component available through the CSC website to access needed services. The changes will rely heavily on cross-training and the features of the newly implemented Nebraska Student Information System.
Although some job titles and reporting lines are being changed in the reorganization, Rhine said the plan does not require any additional funding.
Within Academic Affairs, each of CSC's three academic deans is taking on a new title to reflect changes in job responsibilities. Dr. Lois Veath, CSC vice president for academic affairs, said the changes will support a number of important initiatives including the establishment of a new teaching and learning center for faculty and implementation of high impact learning experiences for students, encompassing efforts to enhance the general studies curriculum. The deans also will have specific duties regarding assessment and accreditation.
The changes will affect the college's most recent hire -- Dr. Joel Hyer, the chairman of CSC's communication and social sciences department, who accepted the new position of dean of curriculum and academic advancement this week.
Dr. Charles Snare has become the dean of teaching and learning and Dr. Margaret Crouse is now the dean of professional licensure. The three deans will function collectively as a single unit, the deans council, which will conduct all-faculty meetings each month instead of the individual school meetings of the past.
In another change, Steve Taylor, formerly the assistant vice president of extended campus programs, is now the associate vice president for market development and has begun reporting to the president instead of the vice president for academic affairs.
The reorganization also affects more than a dozen other employees who will have a change in supervisors. They include members of the Instructional Technology Center, two advisors in extended campus programs, the director of the Nelson Physical Activity Center, a student services counselor, the assistant for graduate studies, the college nurse and an office assistant for the registrar. Each will report to one of the three deans, the director of financial aid and student services team lead, or the student support services grant and retention team lead.
The reorganization, which derived from Chadron State's strategic planning process, was approved during the June 2 meeting of the Nebraska State College System Board of Trustees.
Dr. Janie Park, CSC president, sent an email message to the employees Tuesday, June 14, to thank them for patience during the changes.
"These initiatives will better position CSC to continue to be a 'step ahead' as noted by the Higher Learning Commission in their review of our recent general studies assessment project," she wrote. "Higher education is facing some tough times and CSC has chosen to use these circumstances to become exemplary rather than entrenching and hunkering down. This takes courage, and I thank you for that as well."
—Justin Haag, CSC Information Services

UH Hilo to award first four distance learning degrees
UH Hilo Home > News and Events > UH Hilo Press Releases
Date: Monday, May 13, 2002
Contact: Dr. Bill Chen, (808) 933-3311
For Immediate Release
Among the graduates being honored this Saturday during commencement exercises at the University of Hawai'i at Hilo are the first four degree candidates who have earned their diplomas at neighbor island locations via UH Hilo's cutting edge distance learning program through Hawai'i Interactive Television System (HITS).
The four are Amory Huliheenamakaokalani Burgess of Waipahu, Wendell Iwai of Honolulu, Cynthia Giebenk and Ruth-Jane Maddela, both of Maui. Burgess and Iwai will both receive bachelor of science degrees in computer science, hosted by Leeward Community College in Pearl City, Giebenk will receive a B.S. in computer science and Maddela a bachelor of arts in Hawaiian studies. Both were hosted by Maui Community College.
"These degree candidates have worked very hard for four long years to reach this special moment, taking courses via distance education while holding down full-time jobs," said Dr. Judith Gersting, chair of UH Hilo's computer science department. "We are very proud of them." Burgess, a 26-year-old systems architect, said that the hard work the past four years has been worth it.
"This program was perfect for me," he said. "It allowed me to keep working full-time and take classes at the same time. It also helped me to develop skills that allowed me to secure my current position as a system architect, which is a software and systems designer and engineer.
"The course work has gone from mostly theoretical to almost completely practical. I've found that the things we were learning in class could be applied to my workplace environment. The theoretical stuff becomes second nature after using it for a while, but I find that the practical activities, like project management and designing systems, take constant effort to develop."
Iwai, a 41-year-old construction project coordinator, decided on UH Hilo distance learning to bring his job skills up to today's high-tech standards. "When I first started this program four years ago I was computer illiterate to say the least," he said. "I work as a construction project manager and have been involved in the trades most of my working life. And although I did earn a bachelor's degree in business, I was shamefully lacking the knowledge of 21st century technology.
"That's why I felt fortunate when I found the UH Hilo computer science distance learning degree program," he added. "I felt as though the program was designed just for me. All the classes were at night so I could work full-time in the day. Also, the pace of the classes was just right. Computer science concepts can be very complex, but the instructors didn't overwhelm us. They carefully and methodically educated us on all computer technologies that are relevant in the job market today.
"Now after completing the program, I feel that my job skills have increased tremendously. After all, more education is never a bad thing, even in the construction industry. I know a painting contractor who has a master's degree in literature. So while this person can quote Shakespeare, I know I can quote SQL."

The bench plane has three jobs in the woodshop: to straighten the wood, to smooth it and to remove it.
It sounds so simple when you put it that way, but many woodworkers are confused by all the different sizes of bench planes available, from the tiny 5-1/2″-long No. 1 smooth plane up to the monstrous 24″-long No. 8 jointer plane.
Add into the mix all the new bevel-up bench planes that are available in the catalogs now, and it's bewildering enough to make you want to cuddle up close to your belt sander.
Believe it or not, there is a way to make sense of all the different sizes and configurations of bench planes out there and to select the few that you need in your shop. You don't need one bench plane of each size to do good work (though don't tell my wife that). In fact, it's quite possible to do all the typical bench plane chores with just one tool (more on that later).
In this article, I'm going to walk through the entire line of forms of the metallic-bodied bench planes and describe what each tool is good for. Because people can work wood in so many weird ways, I'll admit that what follows is equal doses of traditional workshop practice, personal preferences (formed by years of planing) and stubborn opinion that comes from growing up on a mountain.
But before we jump headfirst into describing each plane, let's first divide the tools into three broad categories: smoothing planes, fore planes and jointer planes.
Three Jobs for Three Planes
You can tell a lot about what a plane is supposed to do by the length of its sole.
• Smoothing planes have a sole that ranges from 5″ to 10″ long. The primary job of the smoothing plane is to prepare the wood for finishing. It is typically the last plane to touch the wood.
• Fore planes have a sole that ranges from 14″ to 20″ long. The traditional (but by no means only) job of the fore plane is to remove material quickly. By virtue of its longish sole it also tends to straighten the wood to some degree. The fore plane is typically the first bench plane to touch the wood to get it to rough size.
• Jointer planes have a sole that ranges from 22″ up to 30″ (in wooden-bodied planes). The primary job of jointer planes is to straighten the wood, a task it excels at by virtue of its long sole (the longer the sole, the straighter the resulting work). The jointer plane is used after the fore plane but before the smoothing plane.
Smoothing Planes
Let's begin at the small end of the scale and look at the smoothing planes. People tend to end up with several of these (sometimes even in the same sizes). Why? Well there's a lot to choose from and different ways to configure them.
A collector's dream: An entire tray of No. 1 planes.
The No. 1 Bench Plane
Sole length: 5-1/2″
Cutter width: 1-1/4″
Prized by collectors, the No. 1 bench plane is like an exotic little dog. It is designed to make people pick it up and say, "It's so cute!" And it's designed to empty your wallet – it's easy to spend $1,000 on a vintage No. 1 plane. With a price like that, it's got to be one amazing and useful plane, right? Nope.
Some woodworkers like to use the No. 1 in place of a block plane – woodworkers with arthritis report that it's easier to cradle in their hands than a block plane. Some woodworkers buy a No. 1 for their children. Some woodworkers have special small-scale applications for the No. 1, such as working linenfold panels.
But in reality the No. 1 is not a useful size for building most furniture. You can't hold it like a regular bench plane because there's not enough space in front of the tote. And adjusting the depth of cut is no fun either because of the cramped area behind the frog. Add to that fact that the cutter is so narrow and you can see why you'd be working way too hard to plane a typical carcase side.
Buy one because you want one. But don't fool yourself into thinking that you're going to use it all that much. Most woodworkers end up putting it on a shelf and admiring it.
The No. 2 Bench Plane
Sole length: 7″
Cutter width: 1-5/8″
Pity the poor No. 2 bench plane. It's not as rare as its smaller and cuter sibling, nor is it all that much more useful. Collectors love them, though the No. 2 doesn't fetch the same prices as the No. 1. Woodworkers are bewildered by them. It's almost impossible to grip the tote because things are so cramped in there. And holding the tool makes you feel like you're an awkward giant.
I do hear occasionally that the No. 2 is a good smoothing plane for children. It's usually big enough for their hands, and it isn't terribly heavy. The vintage ones were 2-1/4 lbs. And I've heard from maybe one woodworker in all my years that they had abnormally small hands that were suited for a No. 2. But other than that, I think it's best to avoid the No. 2 bench plane unless you stumble on some unique application.
A No. 3 smoothing plane.
The No. 3 Bench Plane
Sole length: 8″
Cutter width: 1-3/4″
The No. 3 is one of the most overlooked planes in the pantheon. Because of its small size, it gets lumped in with the No. 1 and No. 2 in the category of "cute but useless." Nothing could be further from the truth. If I were manufacturing a line of handplanes, the No. 3 would be the smallest plane I'd offer in my line. It truly is a useful tool.
You can actually get your hand comfortably around the tote and work the controls with great ease. The front knob is big enough to grasp like a traditional bench plane. And the cutter is just wide enough to be a useful size. So what is it good for? I use a No. 3 for two things: smoothing small-scale parts (such as narrow rails, stiles, muntins and mullions) and for removing tear-out in very localized areas in a larger panel.
The tool is ideal for small parts because you can easily balance it on stock that is only 3/4″ wide without tipping or leaning problems.
As for removing tear-out, it's the sole's small length that makes this possible. The shorter the sole, the more that the tool is able to get into localized areas on a board and remove tear-out. The long sole of a No. 4 or larger plane will actually prevent the tool from removing more than a shaving (maybe two) in a small area. The No. 3 goes where my other tools simply won't.
The No. 4 Bench Plane
Sole length: 9″
Cutter width: 2″
The No. 4 smoothing plane is historically the most common size. It is an excellent balance of sole length and cutter width to be useful for typical furniture parts. And the last part of that sentence is what is important here: typical furniture parts. Typical furniture parts range from 2″ wide to 24″ wide and 12″ long to 48″ long. That's a gross generalization, but it works.
Here's another clue that the No. 4 is useful and popular: When you are searching out a vintage one, you'll find 10 No. 4s for every one No. 3.
I use a No. 4 for most of my typical cabinet work. And because I work with hardwoods, I have equipped my No. 4 with a 50° frog, which helps reduce tearing (a 55° frog also is available for reducing tearing in curly woods). This is not the tool I'll use for really tricky domestic woods or exotics – I use a bevel-up plane for that (see below).
Another important detail of the No. 4: It's not terribly heavy and won't wear you out as quickly as the bigger smoothing planes.
A Lie-Nielsen 4-1/2 smoothing plane

It's for the PS2... A part of me wishes that Atlus chose a current gen console. Just think of the possibilities I mean. Then again, this way Atlus can reach a wider audience and even PS3-only gamers can still be able to play this game unless they own a 40GB.
I played the first Persona game way back, but I didn't get to play the subsequent sequels for some reason, even P3. But I have a feeling this one is going to get me back to series. I can't wait.

Only complaint i have with P3, they didnt keep the japanese VO
but other than that, i m still buying this....
even if most of it is the same as P3, just wish they gives you all the goodies instead of re-releasing it again as another FES version

2008 officially became the best year EVAR!!!
FES US release plus P4 announcement=PURE OWNAGE!
Will be getting this.
I will say this, tho. The character designs just arent as eyecatching as P3's, but still pretty good, I guess. Other than that, it looks awesome. Weather map replacing Moon Calendar is pretty cool. The highlight of it all is FUTBOL!!! Cant wait to play some FUTBOL!!!
Seriously tho, the minigames seemed to have been beefed up quite a bit, like the fishing minigame.

Still playing Persona 3, have yet to finish it, and it has been a pretty good game. Especially since I have a special edition with the original, japanese voices. When P4 comes out, I can only hope that there will be a special edition of it too. English dubbing really butchers the feeling.
Didn't particularly like of any of the characters either or the suicide theme, so if these are fixed it could be a very good game instead of "pretty good."

So they didn't keep the revoker this time. I'm quite sad, really.
Music is still superb, and I'm glad that they still have the Tarot in the game (well...I only play P3, so I don't know Tarot is the tradition of Persona series or not ). Character designs are good. Battle system doesn't change much (or it is, but I can't tell, really ). And everyone wears glasses!!
Too bad that we have to wait for another year to get the US version.

Let's wait for 3-4 years for this one to make it way outside Japan. May sooner if we lucky enough.
In my opinion, Persona 3 was a success outside Japan. Not just gamers, even so-called professional game critics like it too. I hope Atlus will be brave enough to release it outside Japan someday.

Due to the success of P3, I'm kind of disappointed that they are re-using the same style again. For P4 i was expecting a game with a totally different style, art, and gameplay. U.U But anyway, I'm grateful that they are sticking to ps2 with this.

Liking the music already but not surprising when it's from the same composer as P3, Shoji Meguro. Still dark and mysterious which is what I like about the MegaTen series.
I wonder if these "bizarre serial murders" and "deformed corpses" are supposed to lead towards Trinity Soul that takes place 7 years later...?

Tearful Obama mourns 'beautiful kids'
US President Barack Obama wiped away tears and struggled to compose himself on Friday as he mourned the dead in the Connecticut school shooting, and promised ''meaningful'' action to stop gun tragedies.
''The majority of those who died today were children, beautiful little kids between the ages of five and ten years old,'' Obama said.
''They had their entire lives ahead of them, birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own.''
Obama paused for several seconds, and breathed heavily, several times wiping a tear from the corner of his eye, as he gave his first reaction to the killing of at least 27 people, including 18 children, in the White House briefing room.
''Among the fallen, were also teachers, men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children fulfill their dreams,'' Obama said.
''Our hearts are broken today, for the parents and grandparents, sisters and brothers of these little children and for the families of those who are lost.
''As a country we have been through this too many times,'' Obama said, mentioning earlier shooting massacres, in Colorado, Oregon and Wisconsin.
''These neighbourhoods are our neighbourhoods, these children are our children.
''We are going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this regardless of the politics.''

Sometimes a simple conversation can spur a big idea. One Thursday evening, Sanjay Zimmermann '15 was alone in Park Manor South's common area doing something unusual on the night before the weekend—homework. Surprised to see him, Michele Oshima, director of the Sorenson Center for the Arts, stopped to chat. The conversation turned to film, a passion of Zimmermann's, and he talked about how he wished Babson had a place where students could sign out video equipment and do production.
Illustration: Noah Woods/theispot.com
Oshima knew another student, Nick Kim '15, who wanted access to graphics design hardware and software. So she brought the two together. "Nick and I thought it would be cool to have a place where students could go and use these tools. You do all these projects at Babson, and you want to do something that will really stand out," says Zimmermann. "We said, how do we make this happen?"
To find other interested students, the two formed a club. The group then put together a list of what they wanted in a media center, and Zimmermann soon found himself in Dean Bob Halsey's office, pitching the studio. Halsey liked it, so after more meetings and with support from faculty, staff, and students, the Media and Design (MAD) Studio opened last fall.
Located on the main floor of the library, the studio has three Macs, three PCs, a tablet, a DSLR camera and supporting equipment, the Adobe Creative Suite, and Apple's Final Cut software. The students behind MAD Studio also offer consulting services to other students, teaching them how to use the equipment and software. "We didn't want it to be just a room," says Zimmermann. "That was one of our core principles. We didn't want to put all this money into the equipment and have a room sitting there collecting dust because students didn't know how to use it."
Amy Malinowski '13, who joined the MAD team after Halsey introduced her, ranks as one of the studio's most popular consultants. Having studied at the Rhode Island School of Design via her Weissman Scholar stipend, Malinowski knows a lot of the software well. She has helped train other MAD consultants and advised the group on marketing. "It's been great finding all of this talent on campus," she says. "For people who thought they wouldn't have the resources to do this kind of work at Babson, who thought they'd have to let that side of them go, it's been an opportunity to keep exploring."
During the first semester, 172 students signed in to use the studio (more have used it without signing in), and MAD consultants held 108 appointments. Six consultants are receiving professional training on Adobe Creative Suite, and the club plans to keep enhancing the studio. "There's not many schools where you can go and talk to your dean and get a project started like this," says Zimmermann. "It's one of the things I love about Babson."—Donna Coco

It seems as though life has gotten in the way of regular blogging this summer and some may have noticed that I haven't been keeping up my usual "Around the Blogosphere" posts. But, I've still been tagging my favorite posts in my Google Reader and if you scroll down this screen, you will see a blog roll of my favorite posts from other bloggers.
That being said, this week, I'm returning to a Follow Friday post because I feel a great sense of pride for these two people who started blogging about their family history this week.
On the Trail of Hillouse - This blog is written by my long time friend (since 1983), Jan Eloise Morris. Jan is what I would consider a true Renaissance woman with many varied interests. What I sometimes only dream of doing, Jan actually does. She has recently returned from Paris, hosting a tour for fans of The Doors and Jim Morrison and a pilgrimage to Pere-Lachaise cemetery, where Morrison is buried. We became friends through our connection to country music and have had some great times in Nashville together. I also had the most wonderful 50th birthday weekend a few years back when I visited her while she was living in Los Angeles. As much fun as L.A. was, I'm glad to have my friend back in Nebraska.
I've been talking about genealogy blogging with Jan for months and after she heard me speak about blogging last weekend and using this format to share family history that she came home and within 24 hours had her blog up and running. Jan has an eye for graphic design and she also is able to weave her research into fascinating stories. Jan has also organized and conducted town tours in southeast Nebraska.
I love what she has already done with her Hillhouse blog and look forward to reading more.
Iowagirlmemories - The other blog I want to share this week is written by Evelyn Pecht. Evelyn was also in the class I taught on blogging last weekend. Evelyn and I had been in contact with one another before since our Pecht families come from the same area in Pennsylvania. We are most likely related - it's just a matter of discovering how. Evelyn started her blog this week and it is really taking shape.
One of Evelyn's posts this week is about her Grandma. This really struck a chord with me, as I have similar memories of visiting the hen house for eggs! Evelyn is an eloquent writer who is able to paint pictures with her words. I'm looking forward to reading more from her and watching her evolve as a blogger.
I hope you'll find Jan and Evelyn's blogs as interesting as I do. Please pay them a visit and welcome them to the genealogy blogging community.

Editor's Note: The following was submitted by Liddy Rich.
Have you wondered what all that construction is in the fields adjacent to the town recycling center? Have you wanted to go solar at home, but don't have the right sun exposure or want the panels on your own roof? Now is your chance to enroll in green electricity from a local solar farm, and just pay for what you use in electricity at a savings. It is a win-win situation for the planet and for you.
The Dover solar garden will help Dover with its efforts to become recognized as a Green Community, which will allow Dover to apply for additional grant money from the state.
Solstice is a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding access to clean energy among households in Massachusetts. With the help of transformative state policies and innovative companies working in our state, Solstice connects consumers with community solar projects. Solstice is currently working in conjunction with the developer of the site, BlueWave Renewables, to sign up interested households in the Dover project.
The project is slated to be completed later this year. The best part is that there's no cost to join and you're guaranteed to save on your electric bill every year. Solstice will work with anyone interested in signing up to navigate the process of securing a solar power contract. Because of strong demand for this community solar offering, time is of the essence, and it is important to register your interest soon. In fact, the garden has space for another couple of dozen households before it reaches full capacity.
Solstice will work with you to determine how much solar electric energy from the Community Solar farm to allocate to your household on a monthly basis. The savings are passed along to you through electricity rate discounts that will appear directly on your monthly utility bill.
To learn more about this project and sign up, go to the Solstice website at www.solstice.us/go-solar-dover, or call 508-289-1097.
Solstice expects that the project will offset approximately 1,300 metric tons of CO2 each year, the equivalent of emissions from 270 cars or sequestration from 1,250 acres of forest. The project will also produce revenue and savings for the town of Dover and create local jobs.
