Rhone Resch, President and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA®), today addressed the Opening General Session of Solar Power International 2010 (SPI), the largest business-to-business solar energy conference and expo in North America. Below is the full text of his remarks.
Rhone Resch | SEIA
I am happy to report that the Bureau of Land Management finalized permitting to allow the first-ever utility-scale solar projects on federal land. This is a huge milestone for our industry. Companies now have the go ahead to start building the first utility-scale projects on federal lands.
And on Friday, I was in Phoenix for the opening of Suntech's new manufacturing facility. Who would have thought? A Chinese company opening up a manufacturing facility here in America.
And it's always exciting when one of your neighbors decides to go solar. That's right, last week one of my neighbors, President Obama, decided to install both PV and solar thermal on the White House!
It was a big win for the solar industry. And it was the result of teamwork. SEIA was part of a strong coalition of organizations including the Globama campaign in which tens of thousands of Americans called on President Obama to put solar on the White House.
This past spring, I had the opportunity to appeal directly to President Obama in the Rose Garden to put solar on the White House. It was a sunny day and we talked about the large flat roof over his office and the importance of putting solar on the People's House. He listened to all of us and today it's happening.
This is what we can achieve when we all work together.
I am also happy to report that solar energy is now the fastest growing energy source in the United States! During a recession. With 10 percent unemployment. Solar is rocking!
However, although we are the fastest growing energy source, the fact remains that we are still the smallest. And to change this we need more than a patchwork of markets scattered around the country. To change this, we, as an industry, need a national VISION.
And so today I want to share with you that vision.
A vision for the industry where solar becomes America's number one source of new installed energy each year – bigger than coal, bigger than natural gas, bigger than nuclear. A vision where we increase the amount of solar we install in the U.S. by more than 20 times over last year's record levels. A vision where all solar technologies come together and we install 10 gigawatts – that's 10 billion watts – of clean solar power each and every year.
That's enough solar to power 2,000,000 new homes.
Or shut down 10 polluting coal plants each and every year.
And think about this, we achieve this goal not in 2030 or 2020, but by 2015 – just a little more than 4 years from now. Together, we can do this.
Even more exciting, think about the positive change to the U.S. economy by achieving our vision.
We create 220,000 new solar jobs for our families and neighbors while supporting half a million more jobs in other industries.
We add over $30 billion in direct economic growth and hundreds of billions of dollars in other sectors of the economy -each and every year.
This vision drives economic recovery, creates energy security, and of course, substantially cuts the pollution causing climate change.
Our vision of a 10 gigawatt annual market makes the U.S. the largest solar market in the world and in just 5 years we surpass natural gas, wind and coal to become the largest new source of energy installed each year in the U.S.
Just as we all worked together to get solar on the White House, we can do this too. We can do it, we will do it and we will do it as a team.
The good news is that we've already started - solar is growing and is one of the few bright spots in our tough economy.
How do we know that? SEIA has expanded our market research team and is partnering with GTM Research to provide you with the most accurate data and analysis of the U.S. solar market - all technologies and all market segments. Today, we are releasing our new report – the U.S. Solar Market Insight™, and the data it contains is impressive. For example:
1) The U.S. solar electric market is growing by over 100 percent this year, exceeding 1 gigawatt. In the PV industry, all segments are having record years. Back in June, utility-scale installations already surpassed 2009 totals – and residential and commercial installations continue to grow at a 40-50 percent rate.
2) America is also quickly becoming the largest CSP market in the world. Roughly 80 megawatts are expected to come online in 2010 – that's 10 times more than last year. And we have over 23 gigawatts under development – enough to power 4.6 million homes.
Do you like hot showers? Well, we've got them.
3) Solar water heating enjoys a sixth consecutive year of growth, jumping from 2.6 million square feet installed in 2009 to more than 3 million in 2010 – a 16 percent growth rate.
4) And in the first half of 2010, U.S. manufacturers produced more than a third of the world's polysilicon supply, over 500 megawatts of cells and over 500 megawatts of modules.
As the market grows, so does your business. Did you know that three of the five energy businesses on FORTUNE 100's list of Fastest Growing Companies are solar manufacturers?
First Solar, Trina Solar and SunPower.
And did you realize that seven of Inc. Magazine's list of America's fastest growing private firms, are in the solar industry? That includes Standard Solar, at number three, with a 3,274 percent growth rate over the past 3 years.
I encourage you to stop by SEIA's booth, number 2427, and learn more about the U.S. Solar Market Insight™ report and particularly some of the exciting state data that it contains.
Solar is being installed throughout the US in many different settings, from crayon factories to landfills.
I find it incredible that we now live in a world where you can be born in a solar hospital, get educated in a solar school, go to a solar college and while there drink beer brewed at a solar brewery.
Get married in a solar church, go to work in a solar office building, watch your favorite baseball team in a solar stadium and live in a country protected by the world's best armed forces powered by solar. And I'm hopeful that when I get to that magic age, my kids have the opportunity to put me in a solar-powered nursing home.
The breadth and depth of solar in our lives is amazing.
And with every installation, solar is putting Americans back to work. I personally think that is the best part about the growth of our industry - that we're creating jobs and opportunity across the country. Creating new hope for electricians, salesmen, plumbers, roofers, and so many other professions that have suffered during the recession.
As of today, the solar industry employs nearly 100,000 people in the United States. Tomorrow you'll hear specifics with the release of the very first National Solar Jobs Census from The Solar Foundation. It shows there are more solar jobs out there than we thought – with a lot more coming in the next 12 months.
Our job growth is an example to state and federal policy makers across the country that solar is a good policy investment.
And to illustrate this point, SEIA compiled profiles of the solar industry workforce in all 50 states at a phenomenal new website, called Solar Works for America dot com (www.SolarWorksforAmerica.com), which launches today.
These profiles are personal stories of real people who are making solar work today. The site also shares comprehensive state-by-state listings of solar employers and solar market data. These are solar success stories, the stories that make America great.
This site includes the new PSA webisodes that SEIA has produced to show the public, first hand, how solar works for America, and how solar is putting America back to work.
Come check it out at SEIA's booth, number 2427.
Now let's talk about how we achieve this vision.
Step One. We must level the playing field.
Even though 94 percent of Americans think it is important for the U.S. to develop and use solar power, there are some who don't – particularly the powerful coal, oil and nuclear industries.
They are mounting unprecedented attacks on our industry TODAY. From advertising campaigns to direct lobbying attacks in Washington, the fossil fuel industry is trying to shut us down and put you out of business.
Big Oil companies and other special interests spent $500 million in lobbying and campaign contributions to defeat the clean energy and climate legislation in Congress. Using their resources, they were able to delay and ultimately kill any hope of a national RPS or cap and trade program.
And right here in California they are doing the same thing. The Big Oil companies, led by the Koch Brothers, are spending millions of dollars supporting Proposition 23, a proposal that would kill AB 32 – the most progressive clean economy legislation in the country. We must unite as a team to oppose Proposition 23. We need to send the fossil fuel lobby a very clear message: Step aside, and take your hands off of California's clean energy economy.
Every year, the toxic fossil industries receive $550 billion in subsidies worldwide. A trillion dollars every 22 months. From tax credits to price supports, to access to millions of acres of lands given away to drilling, the fossil fuel industry is grotesquely over subsidized at the expense of the renewable energy industries.
After 150 years of subsidies it's time to level the playing field - it's time to cut their subsidies and shift support to solar and other renewable energy technologies.
And the good news is that the public is on our side. 80 percent of Americans believe that Congress should consider shifting federal support from fossil fuel industries to the solar industry.
So to design the federal and state policy structure that defines this level playing field, SEIA is convening a Solar Policy Summit in November.
The brightest policy minds in the industry will determine our policy priorities at the state and national level for the next several years that allow us to achieve our 10 gigawatt goal. Fossil may be stronger and bigger, but we have the power of the people our side.
And the backbone of our policy platform is the Solar Bill of Rights, which I introduced at this very conference last year.
Since then more than 33,000 Americans have signed on. We will deliver the Solar Bill of Rights to the new Congress in January, and I want you to be there with us. Sign on at SolarBillofRights.org and ask your friends and colleagues to do the same.
Step Two. A new approach to financing.
Without question, the biggest issue facing our industry is financing. In June of this year, SEIA convened our second CEO Summit, and during that meeting the CEOs were unanimous that financing remains our biggest obstacle to growth.
As a follow up, SEIA is working to bridge the gap by convening a Solar Finance Summit next month in New York City. We are bringing together the solar industry with the leaders from Wall Street to identify new methods of financing projects and new sources of capital to keep the solar industry expanding toward our 10-gigawatt goal.
We are also working with the federal government to find new ways to provide financing. The DOE Loan Guarantee Program helps, but only for big projects. What we need is a reliable, sustainable domestic funding source that provides low interest loans quickly to the solar industry for all markets and all technologies. And that is exactly what we are advocating for. SEIA is working with Congress, the Administration and the financial industry to enact this solution as quickly as possible.
Step Three. We must conduct our business with the highest ethical standards.
The only way we can grow this industry is if we do so in a professional, ethical manner. SEIA's Solar Code of Ethics provides the framework, but it is incumbent on you to operate your business in the highest ethical manner and to maintain the high level of trust the public has placed in all of us.
If we play by the rules, we'll all win. The few who operate unethically, hurt all of us.
As an industry, we must accurately represent our products and how they perform. We need to understand federal, state and local incentives and explain them properly to our customers. We must deliver systems that outperform and that meet all local and state codes. We must abide by high standards of environment, health and safety in the workplace and in our product lifecycle. And we must stand by our products and provide the highest level of customer service.
If you are growing a business based on good ethical standards and are providing high quality products to your customers, then you are a welcome member of our team. A welcome member of TEAM SOLAR.
TEAM SOLAR is what we create when we come together as a community, as an industry and fight for what we believe in.
TEAM SOLAR is who we are when we look out for each other and speak with one voice regardless of technology or business model.
TEAM SOLAR is how we overcome those that oppose us and achieve our 10 gigawatt annual market.
My father always told me that the world is run by those that show up. It is now your time to show up and participate, and show the world that TEAM SOLAR is a force to be reckoned with. A force that continues to expand markets and bring clean, reliable solar power to all homes and businesses.
And by joining TEAM SOLAR, you are in great company with teammates that you can count on. People like Justin Cox.
Justin is a former member of the U.S. Army, who served seven years in the military, including two and a half years in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was wounded in action serving our country, defending our freedoms. Following his tour of duty overseas, he came home, and after being medically discharged, took a job with Sungevity as a way to continue serving our great country. He said he enjoys working in the solar industry because he is QUOTE "making a difference one roof at a time."
Justin is with us here today and I'd like to ask him to stand up now.
Justin, we thank you for risking it all for us, and for coming home to take action and join our efforts to drive America's clean energy future. We're proud to have you as a member of TEAM SOLAR.
Justin is a member of TEAM SOLAR. Are you a member of TEAM SOLAR?
I can't hear you.
If you are, then now is the time to get involved.
What can you do?
First, SEIA is YOUR trade association fighting to expand markets in the U.S. We are working day and night to enact policies that grow your business and improve your bottom line. To achieve our 10-gigawatt vision, join SEIA, YOUR trade association. Many of you have been sitting on the sidelines. We can no longer afford for you to be inactive. It is now time for you to join National SEIA. If you are already part of SEIA, get active and take advantage of all that we have to offer.
Second. Another tool for Team Solar is the SEIA PAC. Our industry's political action committee allows us to support those members of Congress who support solar. Our solar champions in Congress stick their necks out for us each and every day. It is our responsibility to protect them and support them in the same manner and at the same level as the oil and coal industries support their champions. We must act like an industry rather than an issue.
I'm proud to say that 100 percent of SEIA staff has contributed to the PAC. Just imagine if 100 percent of our industry contributed to the PAC. Even as little as $10 makes a difference. The bottom line is that the PAC opens doors in Washington and markets for you. SEIA PAC holds its annual fundraiser on Wednesday night at SPI from 5:30 to 7:30 at the Nokia Theater. Stop by the SEIA booth for more information.
Third. For those who live and work in California, get active to help defeat Proposition 23. Contribute to the cause, host a house party, encourage your friends and neighbors to vote against it. Do not let big Texas Oil money tell you how your state should be run. We must all come together to do what we can to defeat this outrageous proposal.
Fourth. Remember how you all convinced my neighbor to put solar on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? Now let's do the same in every state. Talk to your governor, your state lawmakers, your mayor and ask them to go solar. Every governor's mansion and every city hall in the U.S. should have solar panels. Our leaders should be showing the way to a clean energy economy.
Finally, embrace our vision. Own it.
Because 10 gigawatts means 220,000 new American jobs.
It means 2 million new homes powered by solar every year, hundreds of billions of dollars in economic growth and 10 dirty coal power plants that will be displaced each and every year by clean solar.
New revenue and new employees each year, FOR YOU, because more than in any other industry, as the U.S. solar market expands so does YOUR company's growth.
That's why you need to get engaged. That why you need to be a part of TEAM SOLAR.
So go out there, play hard, play to win.
Go Team Solar!

"Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, please throw my journals in the lake."
I went rambling in my antique trunk the other night. It's the first time I have done this since moving to Charleston 2 1/2 years ago. I'd forgotten about all the treasures I'd carefully wrapped and stored away inside: pictures, cards, letters, knick-knacks, kids' drawings, diplomas, and journals.
Yes, journals – about a dozen of them spanning the years between 1987 and 2007. Some of them are cheap notebooks. Others are nicer journals. Only a few of them are filled from cover to cover. I love notebooks and journals. Even though most of my writing is done on a computer keyboard these days, I still buy them frequently – all shapes, sizes, and colors; some plain and some fancy. It's like I believe that if I can just find the right journal the words will naturally flow out of me to fill it. Apparently I've yet to find the right journal.
It was an emotional experience to read through these old journals. I tend to write a lot when I'm hurt or confused. It's my way of figuring out what I think and how I feel. Much of what is in these journals was written during times of personal turbulence and confusion, with a few happy stories and memories scattered in between the angst. I scanned quickly over pages written by me, the bewildered young wife who couldn't figure out why her husband rejected her. I found a letter I wrote to Anna on the night before I was scheduled to go to the hospital to have my labor induced. I found the photocopied pages of one of my journals that my ex-husband made without telling me. I remember how I felt when I accidentally stumbled across them hidden in the back of a drawer. I couldn't have felt any more angry or betrayed if he had taken covert pictures of me naked and printed them out. I read over pages written by me, the angry and now defiant young wife who was done with that marriage. I read pages written by me, the dreamer – literally – who faithfully recorded the most vivid, bizarre dreams that visited me often during that tumultuous period. I read pages written by me, the teacher/called to be preacher/wannabe writer, searching for a way to be the me I wanted to be. I read pages written by me, in love again, hurt again, alone again, yet always somehow hopeful that one day things would work out.
As I read my old journals, I wanted so much to be able to talk back to the younger me, to tell her things that the older, more experienced me now knows. I wanted to comfort her. I wanted to shake her and tell her not to put up with the crap she put up with for far too long. I wanted to show her all the ways she was strong back then, even though all she could see at the time was her weakness and her alone-ness. I wanted to tell her to write not just when she is sad, but also when she is happy. I wanted to tell her to always listen to her dreams, for more often than not they are filled with the kind of wisdom we can only receive when our guard is down in sleep. I wanted to tell her that it's okay to be a bitch sometimes, and that she doesn't have to feel guilty about going after what she wants, and that the people who really matter in this life will love her even if she decides to go her own way and do her own thing rather than always being compliant. (They wouldn't always like it, mind you, but they would always love her.) When she was upset about being written up for being insubordinate at work, I wanted to shout, "Hell yes, girl! It's about time you stood up! And don't you dare change a thing!" I wanted to thank her for writing down her story because her story does indeed matter.
After a couple of hours of reading, I tucked my journals away in the drawer by my bed – their new home that will make it easier for me to access them. As I closed the drawer it dawned on me that perhaps my older, more experienced self should listen to her own pep talks a little more often.

It is important think about how you respond to inappropriate pupil behaviour. The choices teachers make in responding to pupils behaviour are crucial in influencing the choices pupil make about how they will behave.
Which of the following best describe your relationships with students?
Experiencing a divorce or separation can be one of the most emotional and stressful times in your life. Trying to juggle day to day life when you are going through such a change and loss can leave you feeling drained and overwhelmed.
We worked with the national charity for families, Family Lives, to produce an online resource: 'Guidance for Head Teachers and School Staff: How to Support Pupils' Parents'. The guidance offers advice to educational professionals on how to better work with their pupils' parents and where they can go for additional support.

The Trend-Adjusted Actual Production History (TA-APH) allows farmers to increase yields used in calculating guarantees for plans within the COMBO product.
For the same guarantee level, farmer-paid premiums will almost always be the same or lower using the TA-APH yield endorsement than without the endorsement.
This occurs because of differences in subsidy levels across coverage levels.

R.I.P: Bowie State Student Stabbed To Death By Her Roommate Over An Ipod!
"A 19-year-old Bowie State University student was charged Friday with stabbing her roommate to death after the two argued over an iPod. Alexis D. Simpson turned herself just after midnight after Dominique T. Frazier, 18, was found in a hallway of her dorm, unconscious and bleeding profusely from her torso earlier Thursday night, the Baltimore Sun reported. Frazier died an hour later. The crime shocked the small, historically black college in Maryland, which cancelled classes on Friday. Simpson left campus after the stabbing, but turned herself into Prince George's County Police. She was charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bond, CBS News reported. Hundreds of Bowie State students attended a memorial service Friday and formed an impromptu prayer circle" - NY DailyNews

Bizarre UK Free Speech Ban Bars People From Telling Anyone -- Including Elected Officials & Lawyers -- About Potential Toxic Chemicals
from the say-what-now dept
with "members of Parliament, journalists and lawyers", along with the US coastguard and any ship owners, and also forbids any speculation linking chemicals in the paint with the illness of any individuals.I'm trying to figure out how this could possibly make sense in a country that has even marginal respect for free speech. Even worse, it appears that the individual that this hyperinjunction was targeted at later got in trouble for daring to talk to a lawyer about the case. What kind of country allows such a ridiculous suppression of basic rights?

Pregnancy Changes Mom's Gut Bacteria
Having a kid changes everything, from your sleep schedule to the status of that formerly spare room. The stable of bacteria that live in a woman's gut is also transformed when their host becomes pregnant. So finds research in the journal Cell. [Omry Koren et al., Host Remodeling of the Gut Microbiome and Metabolic Changes during Pregnancy]
The study looked at women in Finland. The women's microbial makeup changed dramatically between the first and third trimesters. The array of microbes in the gut went from looking normal in the first three months of a pregnancy to resembling what's found in patients suffering from metabolic disease in the last three.
But some of the symptoms of that condition—like weight-gain and slower sugar metabolism—can be beneficial to pregnant women, supporting energy storage that helps a fetus develop. Other symptoms, like inflammation, demonstrate that the immune system is functioning properly as a pregnancy comes to term.
Scientists don't yet fully understand what brings about the changes in gut bacteria—immune function is a suspect, but factors like hormonal signals aren't ruled out. The research suggests that other changes to the body, like puberty or old age, could also bring about microbial makeovers.

Richard Lichtman, Ph.D., Emeritus
B.A. Philosophy, University of Pennsylvania, 1952
M.A. Philosophy, Yale University, 1954
Ph.D. Philosophy, Yale University, 1957
Dr. Lichtman is a philosopher who specializes in the relationship between the social and psychological dimensions of human life. His approach is broadly interdisciplinary: he has taught in departments of philosophy (University of California, Berkeley), humanities (San Francisco State University), sociology (University of California, Santa Cruz) and psychology (The Wright Institute, California School of Professional Psychology, etc.) and has been a faculty member of the Council on Educational Development (CED) program at the University of California, Los Angeles. His books also indicate the range of his interests: Essays in Critical Social Theory covers a broad range of topics in economic, social, and political theory, while The Production of Desire is a detailed analysis of the works of Marx and Freud.
Dr. Lichtman is particularly interested in critical theory; existentialism and phenomenology; the social construction of the self; sexuality, gender and the body; critique of object relations theory; Marx and Freud; the psychology of film; and history and systems of psychology, seen in a broadly social light.
He believes that psychology is always embedded in a larger social context and can only be understood by examining that broader context. His approach is historical, social and critical, placing special emphasis on the ideological aspects of institutions and theories.
Dr. Lichtman has also conducted state-funded research on the relationship of unemployment and mental illness. He has been a visiting scholar in several institutions, the recipient of an NEH grant, and an expert witness on issues of labor and mental health. He is presently writing a critical analysis of contemporary object relations theory.

Thursday night at Allen Arena the Lady Bisons lost 76-65 to ETSU, the Atlantic Sun Champion for the past two years. The Lady Bucs have won 11 of the 12 meetings between the two teams.
"If you knock out those two games in Jacksonville we have played at a consistently good level since the first of the year," Bennett said. "We are not quite where we need to be, but I feel like we are progressing."
But the Lady Bisons challenged ETSU until the very end. And the problems with rebounding and turnovers that hampered them in games at Jacksonville and North Florida appeared to be solved.
"It is frustrating to fall short, but our level of play was so much higher than it was last weekend," Bennett said. "Their team is really hard for us to play because they are so skilled and so athletic.
"We rebounded evenly which was a great accomplishment after being killed on the boards down in Florida. If we had played at this level in Jacksonville we would have had a great chance to take two games there."
ETSU built up a 13-point lead in the second half, 50-37 with 13:28 left to play as TaRonda Wiles connected on a jump shot.
But the Lady Bisons went on a 13-0 run, tying the game at 50-50 with 9:32 remaining. The run was sparked by 3-pointers from Chelsea Burroughs and Morgan Faulkner, who hit two in a row.
ETSU pulled back ahead by four at 54-50. Faulkner went to the line and sank a pair of free throws to pull the Lady Bisons within two at 54-52 with 8:41 on the clock.
Siarre Evans, who did not play in the first half for ETSU, hit a 3-pointer with 6:44 on the clock for a 61-52 lead. With 5:27 left Evans again hit a 3-pointer to extend ETSU's lead to 12 at 66-44.
The Lady Bisons pulled to within six at 66-60 when Burroughs connected on a lay-up with four minutes left.
Wiles answered with a 3-pointer to extend ETSU's lead back to nine, 69-60, with 3:37 remaining. ETSU would lead once again by double figures as Wiles scored for a 71-60 lead on the way to sealing the win.
"We gave them runs that were too big," Bennett said. "If we had held them to runs of four-to-six points instead of 10 points we wouldn't have had such a big hole to try to come back from.
"I was proud that we kept coming at them. We had to foul late and missed some shots trying to play catch up and the margin increased. Typically, we have tried to play catch up and a five-or-six-point game becomes a double-digit game."
Both teams were credited with 39 rebounds. Lipscomb sophomore center Brittany Duerk grabbed a game-high nine rebounds. Center Tosha Austin pulled in eight rebounds to lead ETSU.
The Lady Bisons were also hoping to cut down on their turnovers, but they committed 17 miscues, including 10 in the first half. ETSU made 11 turnovers.
Nine of 10 Lady Bisons scored. Burroughs, a sophomore forward, was the only Lipscomb player in double figures with 16 points.
"Chelsea consistently sprints the floor," Bennett said. "We can throw it ahead to her and put pressure on the defense immediately. She is the best we have at running the lane.
"Sometimes she gets out there and gets the lay-up. Sometimes she shoots the three."
Freshman forward Hannah Phillips, junior guard Jenna Bartsokas and Faulkner each finished with eight points.
"Morgan Faulkner had two threes and two free throws in a great little spurt in the second half," Bennett said. "Valerie Bronson did some good things. Everybody was chipping in here and there.
"Duerk was in the middle of three of ETSU's players on a lot of her rebounds. She was snatching the ball away in a crowd."
The game was a power struggle from the start.
The Lady Bisons kept ETSU at bay in the first half. ETSU never led by more than six points.
With 10:22 left in the half the Lady Bisons trailed by six for the last time in the period when Tarita Gordon hit a pair of free throws for a 23-17 lead.
The Lady Bisons continued to stay close. They took over the lead for the first time in the game with 8:06 left before intermission when a 3-pointer by Bronson put the Lady Bisons on top 25-23.
In the final 6:12 of the half the game would be tied four times.
The Lady Bisons last led in the game with 2:20 remaining in the first half when Phillips connected on a jumper in the paint for a 31-29 advantage.
The Lady Bisons were behind 35-31 at intermission.
ETSU was paced by Wiles with a game-high 25, including 14 in the first half. Gwen Washington added 17. Evans scored 14 points, all in the second half.
ETSU is 9-7, 7-1 in the conference.
The Lady Bisons, 4-15, 2-7 in the A-Sun, will face Campbell Saturday afternoon at 1 at Allen Arena.

Do the Metz have a Reyes of Hope for the Future?
|Omen or Oh man? Jose's Threads Join Krod and Beltran in the Mets Clubhouse Reduced Rack
This is going to be an odd off season. The Mets are firing staff, the brass is making noises about cutting payroll. And yet fans still hold out for a Reyes return. So I wanted to share this sad picture with you.
Talk about blowing the whole thing up and Sandy-fying the roster is still just talk. For instance, if the Mets believe that moving and painting the walls will matter, then it doesn't make sense to trade Wright this winter before seeing if the renovations ignite the slugging percentages. Or more likely, the Wilpons will have just added more empty, expensive seats to the empty expensive seats they already have. But I won't be shocked if a rebuilding project is the new reality. Let's get some pitching at least.

1. Re: Multiple documentsA. Patterson Feb 21, 2012 7:25 AM (in response to swisnies256)
I'm not sure what you're asking for. There are notifiers that let you know when the current document changes. You can get the handle to the current document as well, which is a good way to know which document you're 'currently' talking to. You can't talk to the dictionaries of a document is current, maybe that's what you're asking?
2. Re: Multiple documentsswisnies256 Feb 21, 2012 10:07 AM (in response to A. Patterson)
My problem is, when I am working with just one document (#1), everything is fine. I can read/write to the dictionary. When I create the second document, my dictionary read/writes fail. I suspect I am not doing something I need when I respond to the Notifier that says a different document (#2) is selected.
Is the dictionary "global" in nature, or do I need to create a new one for every document I create with my panel?
Is there a document->dictionary association, and if so, what is it.
The sample code with the SDK isn't real clear about documenting how the dictionary works.
3. Re: Multiple documentsA. Patterson Feb 21, 2012 10:19 AM (in response to swisnies256)1 person found this helpful
It depends on where you're getting the dictionary. There are actually several places to get dictionaries, and you can even create your own (which is sort of necessary, since you can have entries in dictionaries that are themselves dictionaries!). Art objects, layers, they also have dictionaries. Live Effects have them, and a few other special cases have them too (some of the advanced stroke options).
If you're using AIDocumentSuite::GetDictionary() -- as I suspect you are -- then, yes, that's document specific. That means that you can't keep writing out to the same dicitonary if the user switches documents. Getting the document's dictionary is pretty cheap though; if you're hanging on to that handle one simple solution is just get it fresh every time you want to talk to the dictionary. That way you won't get complaints when the current document switches. If you try and talk to objects from a document when another one is 'current', you'll almost always get errors.
That said, if you're doing something that invovles the current document's dictionary and it involves a panel, you'll definitely want to react to the document changed notifier! Our product has several panels, and they interact with dictionaries all the time. Keeping the panels updated when the document changes is one of the important tasks of any panel (usually!). You'll be interested in: kAIDocumentChangedNotifier, kAIDocumentOpenedNotifier & kAIDocumentClosedNotifier.
Also, the sample code isn't a great place for explanations. I'd go to the actual suite headers, which aren't bad for documentation. AIDocument.h has this:
/** Retrieves the recorded dictionary associated with the current document.
Changes in this dictionary and its contents are recorded in the undo history.
Dictionaries are reference counted. You must call \c #AIDictionarySuite::Release()
when you no longer need the reference.
@param dictionary [out] A buffer in which to return a pointer to
the dictionary reference.
@see \c #GetNonRecordedDictionary()
AIAPI AIErr (*GetDictionary) ( struct _AIDictionary** dictionary );
4. Re: Multiple documentsswisnies256 Feb 21, 2012 10:35 AM (in response to A. Patterson)
OK, I'll look at that tonight and see. I know I was handling the kAIDocumentChangedNotifier notification.....I'll post the code if I can't get it working....

Mr. Fred Rogers
(who was every kid's neighbor in PBS land)
I just talked to a man today who was in Japan when the Tsunami hit. He was explaining how living quarters are experienced there - quite different than rural Idaho!! He shared with me how the culture of "don't do anything that might inconvenience your neighbor" is deeply ingrained at an early age. Here it seems the thought is, "Don't tick me off, and we might get along."
And that got me thinking how we all have neighbor stories. The sweet elderly lady next door or the grumpy old codger. The wars over water rights, the couple that the police frequented, the kind neighbor that brought soup over when she found out you were sick, etc. There are as many neighbors as there are people. Pick a neighbor to highlight in your slice of life stories. OR if you want to get really personal, you might even attempt to write about the kind of neighbor you ARE, or the kind of neighbor you ASPIRE to be.
See ya next week, neighbor! :)

Today the old testament is a part of the christian's bible. But as far as I know, it is supposed to be oldet than 2000 years.
Maybe someone has answers to my questions:
1. Did the old testament exist in a written form at around 300 BCE?
2. Was it then in Hebrew and a part of the jewish religion?
3. How far spread was the knowledge?
4. Had it been translated into Greek?
5. Could it have been known by Greek philosophers?
6. Considering the little distance between Greece and Israel, how much cultural interchange was there between the Greek and the Hebrew learned people?
Views: 603
The Old Testament is not really a study subject of mine, so I might be slightly off. However, the questions are fairly straightforward so I think I can help.
1) The question is vaguely posed. "The Old Testament" consists of about two dozen different books. The canonization of all these books (in the sense that they were all collected and offered in a single package) only took place in the Early Second Century CE, which means that prior to that data, what you would have is a variety of different individual books, and every community might possess several of them (but possibly not all) at any one time.
You're inquiring specifically to the 300 BCE mark, in which case some of these individual books (the Book of Daniel comes to mind, with a composition date of second Century BCE) had not yet been fully composed. Other books were still in a pretty fluid phase, and with all the different manuscripts floating around there would be a certain divergence (though as with all holy texts, they would be carefully transmitted).
The "core" of the Old Testament however, the Pentateuch (or Torah) would have definitely been formed and was regarded as a "set" of five books which contained the Law of God. The status of any individual book may vary though.
So the answer to the question is: no, the full Old Testament as we know it now would not have existed, however most books would have been known, and the most important ones would have been in wide circulation and been well known.
2) If we're talking about the Pentateuch in particular, it was certainly a central part of the Jewish religion, and it would have been largely in Hebrew, though there's remnants of other languages as well, like Aramaic.
3) In what sense? The Pentateuch would have been known to just about everyone who knew the Jewish religion, but the knowledge of other (newer) books could vary from community to community.
4) Barely. We date the completion of the Septuagint (which is the Greek translation of the Pentateuch - the first five books - as well as a large number of other works) to the Second Century BCE. The Pentateuch itself would have been translated first however, likely in the early Third Century BCE.
5) Not by the most famous Greek philosophers like Socrates and Plato living around the 5th Century BCE, no. As translations to Greek started, it is possible that Greek philosophers had access to these works, however we have no evidence of that being the case. It's hard to see why Third or Second Century Greek philosophers would be interested in Jewish scriptures anyway... assuming they were still doing much philosophy, since the political turmoil at that time was great and Greece had been rapidly declining for quite some time.
6) That's very hard to quantify. Prior to the Fourth Century, there's likely not to have been much cultural exchange at all. The Greek city-states were in a nigh constant struggle (overt or not) against the Persians - the then-rulers of Palestine, and any exchanges between Greek and Persian territories would have likely been measured in raids and battles rather than in literary fruition.
Where the cultural interchange is to be sought is quite a bit later, when Palestine was conquered by Alexander the Great in the late Fourth Century. Much of the former Persian empire went through a period of hellenization at that point, the influences of which would be visible for many centuries. It's very likely that this hellenization led to new ideas in Palestine at that point (though I doubt much was occurring in the other direction), but exactly which ideas is hard to say, since this hellenization was not a uniformly Greek phenomenon, but a grab-bag of Greek, Macedonian, Persian and Egyptian influences and art-forms and ideas.
What exactly this spawned -if anything- is extremely hard to determine, though the Jews in particular seem to have resisted most of the Greek influences. Devout Jews in particular would have avoided it.
I hope that helps. Kind regards,
The Hellenization of Palestine occurred much earlier than that. I was taught as a child that the Sadducees embraced Hellenization and Pharisees opposed it, and they both existed during the reign of Alexander the Great and from the period from 334/333 BCE to 63 BCE. When the empire fell to the Seleucids, they repressed the Jewish culture, and the Maccabean revolution took place, resulting in the Hasmonean dynasty until 63 BCE. But the Wikipedia article I just looked at says the exact opposite!
The Sadducees were said to be the upper class. But it was the Pharisees who preserved the Jewish religion after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 CE. Jews always respected Alexander because he allowed them to preserve their religion and culture, and for as long as Jewish culture existed in Europe, Jews named their boys Alexander in honor of him.
The Romans were another story, and they were the ones responsible for the decimation and enslavement of the Jews of Palestine, ending with the destruction of the temple and fall of Jerusalem.
Thank you. It seems that I can conclude to see a one-way effect. While hellenistic influences were distributed to other areas, the Greek philosophers seem to have only influenced each other with little interest for other cultures.
Yes...the two Jewish sects were the two sects Jesus was preaching against. There was a third Jewish sect at that tim period named the Essenes. What do you know of them and what happened to them?
Thank you for the elaborate answers. I am wondering, what social and intellectual influences led to Epicurus' developing a philosophy including the principle of not harming and not be harmed.
If you want to get a historical critical view of the Old Testament (What Christians call it) (the Jews call it the Tanakh) and the new Testament go the the link below both courses are free .
http://oyc.yale.edu/religious-studies Both are long around 24 hours (I did 1 or 2 a week) These courses are not devotional and do not Proselytize they are critical examination of the Tanakh and New Testament. Most Christians I know would consider there content lies. It can also help you in debating Christians about there religion.
RLST 145 - Introduction to the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible)
This course examines the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) as an expression of the religious life and thought of ancient Israel, and a foundational document of Western civilization. A wide range of methodologies, including source criticism and the historical-critical school, tradition criticism, redaction criticism, and literary and canonical approaches are applied to the study and interpretation of the Bible. Special emphasis is placed on the Bible against the backdrop of its historical and cultural setting in the Ancient Near East.
RLST 152 - Introduction to New Testament History and Literature
This course provides a historical study of the origins of Christianity by analyzing the literature of the earliest Christian movements in historical context, concentrating on the New Testament. Although theological themes will occupy much of our attention, the course does not attempt a theological appropriation of the New Testament as scripture. Rather, the importance of the New Testament and other early Christian documents as ancient literature and as sources for historical study will be emphasized. A central organizing theme of the course will focus on the differences within early Christianity (-ies).
What little history I have comes from Who Wrote the Bible by Richard Elliott Friedman. Very interesting, and I'd love to learn more. I definitely recommend this, although it doesn't answer all your questions.
John and Daniel, thank for suggesting sources to read. But honestly, 24 hours of a course are a bit out of proportion with my scorn for the bible.
I had never read the bible, but quotes on AN and other atheist sites have made me aware of some content in the old testament being in favor of, allowing, justifying and even commanding incredibly horrible atrocities. In fact, some of the quotes are so insanely cruel, that I am puzzled, why anybody reading that stuff would not throw the bible immediately into the next fire...
This made me wonder about the psychological effect of such appalling texts on bystanders in the historical past. Bystanders meaning persons not being part of the faith but being informed about it.
I am wondering, how Epicurus was able to develop his principle of not harming and not be harmed.
According to Matt's reply, Epicurus was probably ignorant of the atrocities in the old testament. Maybe he was appalled by other atrocities.
If one believes Moses was responsible for writing the first five books of the Old Testament then it can be dated 1350 BCE to 1850 BCE. The exact dating is unknown.
I recommend your read these first five books. Slowly - such as maybe two to five scriptures at a time. Have a yellow marker handy. When you see something that simply does not correspond with your moral code - mark it and using a notebook - write out your problem with it. It will make for wonderful educational discussions with god-believers later on.
Example: When Cain was thrown out of Eden (due to the murder of his brother) he went Eastward to Nod. Immediately he 'takes wives' and cities are built. Who did he marry? Where did all these people come from? Christians will tell you - being so very simple minded - that one of his 'sisters' later on went looking for him....found him...they had sex and a baby was born. Yeah. Right.
Another example: God asks each man (Cain and Abel) to bring offerings. Now one was a farmer and one was a hunter. God certainly knew this. yet, God rejects Cain's 'field offerings'...and this makes him so angry he kills his brother. What kind of father would do such a thing? You'd think just maybe he would have accepted each offering equally - then specificially told the brothers what he preferred. Problem solved. Since this 'father' was so nasty towards one son - even though that son did exactly what he was told (offering) and brought what he knew how to do - it was rejected. An extremely poor example for any father to set. You'll get dozens of these ideas by reading slowly and taking your time. It will provide much in the way of talking points for your Christian friends later on.
My interest behind the OP is the Greek philosopher Epicurus and what influenced him. I have no inclination to ever read the bible.
Perhaps the Greek culture was more secretive regarding outside influences. It is well known that the Sumerian culture at 3500BCE was using mushrooms (Amanita Muscarius) to get that hallucinatory high to 'speak with god'....and just recently it has been discovered that the 'Secrets of Eleusis' - a Greek religious sect just outside of Athens dating to 500 BCE was also using this mushroom in their hallucinatory services to 'speak with God'. Some things spread around even if it's not apparent.
It is well known that the Sumerian culture at 3500BCE was using mushrooms (Amanita Muscarius) to get that hallucinatory high
I had never heard about this. But how is this known? Do you know any source about this?

7th Successive Brood at Church Nest Platform
Conservationists in Bath have welcomed the next generation of peregrines to hatch on the Hawk and Owl Trust's well established nesting platform on the spire of St John's RC Church.
The first egg successfully hatched on 1 May 2011 when one chick was observed as the female left for a brief break. The two remaining eggs then hatched, but one chick died, leaving the pair with two surviving nestlings.
The peregrine pair, which returned to the platform for the seventh successive year, originally laid four eggs but one disappeared.
Conservationists are able to keep the peregrines under observation via a video camera at the nest platform. This year it is hoped that the public will also be able to enjoy footage of the birds of prey thanks to an additional camera which the BBC installed on a pole (see above). It is hoped it will be shown on a future BBC programme, said Mike Rogers of the Trust's Bath and West Wiltshire Group.
Members of the public watching activity live from street level in Bath usually have great views of the peregrines flying in and out of the nest site – in South Parade, not far from Bath Spa railway station. This is especially true after the young hatch and require increasingly frequent deliveries of prey.
The peregrine, which is the logo of the Hawk and Owl Trust, is the largest falcon resident in the UK. Numbers are increasing after being devastated by the effects of organochlorine pesticide poisoning in the 1960s. There are now thought to be 1500 pairs in the UK and although their natural habitat is cliff ledges, over the last decade several have started to breed on human structures in our cities.

Release Date: 2011 |
Album Rating: 4.0Album kicks so much ass. Was streaming on NPR but I'm pretty certain it's been taken down now that the album is properly out.
Sounds really really good, definitely going to look into this. Great review btw man.
still digging the dirty side of things, i see.
Album Rating: 4.0Maybe I'm just too "southern" for my own good...
I wish this was good but I guess I felt like the album was more of hangover than a good buzz hahahahaha.
Album Rating: 4.0While I disagree with your statement, that was a masterful pun.
Album Rating: 4.2It's an improvement over their quite lacklustre debut. The album could definitely use some variety
though. Number Thirteen is excellent, a standout track for sure.
Album Rating: 4.0I would say that between tracks like Wires, Throw Up, and The Undertow there's plenty of variety, but maybe that's just me.
So if I like Baroness I like this?
I like this better than the first one... great review too.
Sounds legit will be checking this out if I can track it down...
Digging: Buke and Gase - Scholars
What the hell is a bear can?
Album Rating: 4.0ugh. Where the eff did the edit review button go?
Oh, if you enjoy the more riffy/heavy, less proggy side of Baroness you'll probably enjoy this.
Just heard prehistoric dog and loved it. The video only made it better. Gonna check out the new album now.
and good review man
I'll take a listen or two to this album, I remember the video for Prehistoric Dog being pretty funny, though I only watched it briefly once.
Sounds pretty cool. Good review.
I've seen these guys a few times live, I need to check this out
Now two years removed form their self titled debut
Album Rating: 4.0Typos fixd

Natural Sciences Guild Day Trip | Something New, Something Old… Jepson Prairie Preserve and Rockville Trails
Spend your afternoon with the Natural Sciences Guild and be one of the first to walk Rockville Trails, the Solano Land Trust's new 1,500-acre preserve, destined to become the crown jewel of Solano County's open spaces. Departing by bus from OMCA, we start our day at the Jepson Prairie Preserve where we'll enjoy an easy walk with a Jepson Prairie docent. Dry and dormant most of the year, the prairie explodes into color during its spring wildflower display and its vernal pools host a rich diversity of rare aquatic life.
After lunch at the Preserve, we will travel to Rockville Trails. After fighting development for over 30 years, open space advocates have saved the preserve, known as "Brush Mountain." This area rivals the Marin Headlands for beauty and majesty, with spectacular views of grassland and sparse oaks transitioning to thickets of coyote bush, coffeeberry, elderberry, and sticky monkey flower. Solano Land Trust volunteer and outreach coordinator Natalie DuMont will share the history of land trusts in California.
Expect to walk about 4 miles on this tour. Participants should wear hiking boots and layered clothing, be prepared for inclement weather, and bring hiking poles, cameras, binoculars, and note pads. Bottled water and lunches will be provided. The tour will begin and end at OMCA. Carpooling is encouraged. Trip cost is $90.
To reserve a space, contact Tik Thurston at 510-865-4507 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Gov. Rick Perry got some gentle ribbing over his "oops" moment in the presidential debate as he was introduced at a prayer breakfast — "You meant to say 'whoop,' as a proud Texas Aggie" — and he took the ball and ran with it in his speech.
"Every one of us have 'oops' moments every day, and being able to know instinctively, intuitively and without any doubt that there is an all-loving God that is going to forgive you for that 'oops' moment," Perry said.
"America may not forgive you," Perry said, drawing laughter and applause, "but God will. That's the power of our creator."
Perry called on the crowd at the Doubletree Hotel conference room to pray for those in the military, veterans, first responders, farmers, ranchers — and, he said, "Let's pray for our President," drawing a "Yes!" from the crowd.
"Let's pray for our President, for his wisdom. I pray that God pierces his heart." Perry said, drawing an "Amen," and continuing, ""that he truly understands God's will to protect innocent life."
Perry also prayed for President Obama's "true understanding" of "God's will for this country."

NEW YORK (AP) - Bill Rancic embraces the notion of being part of a power couple with wife Giuliana. Both together and separately they have pretty busy careers, made exponentially more intense with the arrival of their son, Edward Duke, last year.
NEW YORK (AP) � Bill Rancic embraces the notion of being part of a power couple with wife Giuliana. Both together and separately they have pretty busy careers, made exponentially more intense with the arrival of their son, Edward Duke, last year.
You may remember Rancic from winning the inaugural season of the NBC reality show "The Apprentice." As the only one to not hear Donald Trump utter his trademark phrase, "You're fired," Rancic went on to work for the real estate mogul.
These days the couple remains busy with Giuliana hosting E! News, being part of the "Fashion Police" crew, and having her own fashion line, "G by Giuliana Rancic." Together they have a reality show "Giuliana & Bill" on the Style Network and are in the restaurant business.
And if that's not enough, he's moderating a competition for small business owners sponsored by the software maker Intuit where one business wins a 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl.
Recently, the 42-year-old television personality sat down with The Associated Press to talk about family, business and the power of a Super Bowl ad.
AP: You and Giuliana lead busy lives. How do you kick back?
Rancic: We run a lot. We exercise and now we have a little boy at home so I'm now a father so that's my new role, that's my new job and it's the best job I've ever had in my life. It's pretty amazing. He's 11 months yesterday. He's crawling and 25 pounds. He's a big kid. We just started filming another season of "Giuliana & Bill" so we will have 85 episodes completed by the end of the year this year which in reality TV that's like dog years. These things don't last that long typically.
AP: Do you ever get used to the intrusiveness of having your lives documented?
Rancic: Well, the "Giuliana & Bill" show is a little bit different because Giuliana and I are the executive producers of the show so certainly we have a lot of control and we have total, I guess if we wanted to, editing power but I will say in the seven seasons we've done the show we've never used our executive producer powers to cut something out. And I guess that's what is unique about our show. We keep it real. We keep it authentic and we've used the show as a platform to try to tackle some heavy issues. We've used it for good and not evil and we've tackled breast cancer and infertility and a lot of my work in Haiti that we've covered so we're pretty proud of the way we've used our platform and I think we've done a pretty good job over the last seven years.
AP: Tell me about your business ventures.
Rancic: Giuliana and I own some restaurants. We have RPM Italian in Chicago, we have RPM Steak opening this fall. And then we're branching out to Washington, D.C., and Las Vegas so we're growing our restaurant brand quite a bit. I'm really proud of Giuliana ... so we're continuing as a husband-wife team growing our entrepreneurial ventures.
AP: Why restaurants? They're a tough business.
Rancic: We're inspired. My wife was born and raised in Italy until she was about 9 and then she came to America and her mom was a great cook and they have great recipes and whenever her mom would come into town we would have all these friends just randomly showing up at our house and eventually we figured out why. They wanted mama's cooking. So we took some of her mom's recipes and we partnered with an amazing group of people.
AP: Tell me about this competition for a Super Bowl spot.
Rancic: Essentially what we're doing is calling for small business owners to go to the website to submit their story, they get 600 characters to tell us about their business and then what we do is we turn it over to the 8,000 employees at Intuit and they narrow down the process and eventually we come to the final four and when we get to the final four small business owners we turn it over to America and America gets to vote, and in the end one small business owner will get a fully paid, fully produced commercial that's gonna run in the biggest football game of the year.
AP: After winning the first season of "The Apprentice," what experience do you bring to the table?
Rancic: Well, I'm a small business owner. Obviously many people may remember me as the first winner of "The Apprentice" but prior to that I was an entrepreneur. I started my first business when I was in college and then getting my lucky break was when Donald Trump hired me on. So it's kind of serendipitous. Now I'm in the position where I'm going to be able to provide a lucky break to a small business owner to showcase their business on the biggest platform in the world with all the big boys, all the automotive companies and the beer companies and all these companies that are on that huge stage. I'm gonna pay my luck forward so it's really kind of come full circle for me.

MGM Resorts (NYSE:MGM), which owns 50% of Atlantic City's Borgata, has filed a petition seeking to return to New Jersey as a fully-qualified casino licensee.
Continue Reading Below
The Las Vegas-based hotel and casino operator said Monday that it filed a petition with the State of New Jersey Casino Control Commission requesting that it initiate a review process under which MGM would be permitted to return to the New Jersey gaming market.
In 2010, regulators found that MGM's partner in a Macau venture, Pansy Ho, was unsuitable because her father allegedly had criminal ties. MGM, which agreed at the time to sell its stake in the Borgata, has disagreed with New Jersey's decision.
MGM, which received several deadline extensions to sell the Borgata stake, still owns the 50% interest.
"MGM Resorts International is, and always has been, committed to the highest standards of operation and regulatory compliance," MGM said in a statement. "If our petition is successful we would welcome the opportunity to once again be an active, contributing member of the New Jersey gaming marketplace through our 50% ownership of Borgata."
Since 2010, MGM has taken a controlling interest in MGM Macau's parent company MGM China Holdings, which is now listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong.
MGM also alleges that Pansy Ho has far less influence in the venture than in 2010.

Marine Biology Degree Programs in the U.S.
The following is our list of all U.S. schools that offer degrees in Marine Biology or related fields such as Biological Oceanography, Marine Science, Fisheries, etc. Please note that most degrees in Marine Biology are earned at the Masters level or higher and usually require a Bachelor's degree first in Biology, Zoology or another life science. Many schools now also offer Bachelor degrees in Marine Biology but to be a "true" Marine Biologist be sure to follow through and complete your Master's or Doctorate (PhD) degree.
« Education & Careers Resources
Most links open directly to each school's marine biology program or curriculum page for your convenience (please contact us if you have any comments, changes or additions). Schools not found to offer Marine Biology degrees but that do offer degrees thought to be roughly similar to Marine Biology, are denoted with brackets, such as [Marine Science] or [Biological Oceanography]. Also note that BS and MS or PhD below may be linked separately to their specific program or department sites.
To determine which school is right for you, you may want to consult the current rankings: [link 1][link 2], but be forewarned that they are not always the best indicator of the "best" school. It is often better to make your own assessment based on the school's curricula, the experience of its faculty, and laboratory facilities for hands-on experience.
