After a couple years of chilly investor sentiment, geothermal stocks are starting to warm up. The sector has been so beaten down that the small exploration and production players seem to have lost what little following they had, and so recent good news has gone mostly unnoticed.
Last week, industry leader Ormat Technologies Inc. (NYSE:ORA) set the stage by beating analyst expectations for both earnings and revenue per share in the third quarter, and announcing a deal to buy a project in Honduras. This led to an upgrade by Barclays.
As the only geothermal stock with the size and liquidity needed by large US investors, Ormat has long been too expensive (forward P/E of 23, even after a decline from over $30 in early to less than $17 today) for a relatively low margin utility business, so I prefer the much cheaper small geothermal developers, US Geothermal (NYSE:HTM, TSX:GTH), Ram Power (TSX:RPG, OTC:RAMPF), and Alterra Power (TSX:AXY, OTC:MGMXF.)
It's hard to generalize from one geothermal company to another. Each geothermal project is unique, not only because of the local electricity markets and legal structures, but also because of the idiosyncrasies of each project's geology and chemistry. Nevertheless, the smaller developers seem to be following Ormat's lead.
On Thursday, US Geothermal (NYSE:HTM, TSX:GTH) received the $10.7 million cash grant for its San Emidio project, allowing the company to pay down a $7.5 million bridge loan. A year ago, I would not have considered this significant news, since I assumed the US Treasury would pay all such grants in full. That was before the Treasury cut the award for Western Wind Energy's (OTC:WNDEF, TSX-V:WND) grant by $12 million (3% of the request) after delaying it for almost two months. After that experience, a cash grant delivered seems a lot more significant than it once did. About $1 million of the grant application is still under review by the Treasury. This portion of the grant is related to some exploratory wells. Management is uncertain if this portion of the grant will be accepted, but it does not seem to be something that they are counting on.
US Geothermal also reported third quarter earnings on Thursday, and the message was one of steady progress. Last year, Nevada Geothermal Power (TSX-V:NGP, OTC:NGLPF) and Ram Power were both tripped up by unpleasant surprises at their biggest projects. US Geothermal, in contrast, has been executing smoothly, and now has two operating projects. This will make the company less vulnerable to the vagaries of geothermal development at future projects. Part of that seems to be US Geothermal's project selection. San Emidio, for instance, was an existing project with a known reservoir, which they upgraded by drilling some new wells and replacing an aging power plant. Because it was an operating project, US Geothermal knows a lot more about the idiosyncrasies of the reservoir than they would if it had been a greenfield project, and it was just those sorts of idiosyncrasies at Nevada Geothermal's Blue Mountain project which ended in the company losing all its equity in the project because there is not enough revenue to repay the loan.
Ram Power (TSX:RPG, OTC:RAMPF) has also been making progress. Last year, problems developing their Jan Jacinto project caused large cost overruns. But the project now seems to be back on track with a new contractor. The company was able to negotiate a 17% increase in the power sales agreement which will make up for some of the extra costs, amounting to an annual $10 million in additional revenues per year when the project is complete. Despite this, the stock is being held back because steam production at San Jacinto is less than expected, a problem which they hope to remediated using the drilling reserves included in the original project financing. While there is always a significant risk that such remediation attempts will not succeed (as happened at Nevada Geothermal), the risk seems to be adequately compensated is a stock trading at less than a quarter of its book value.
Alterra Power (TSX:AXY, OTC:MGMXF) is more diversified, and hence safer than Ram and US Geothermal, with six operating geothermal, wind and run-of-river hydro power plants. Alterra currently hovers near profitability, with quarterly results fluctuating due to the seasonal production of its wind and hydro projects. Alterra also has a strong balance sheet (unlike Ram) allowing it to fund development and acquisition of additional projects (like a solar project acquired from First Solar (NASD:FSLR)) without returning to the equity markets.
Alterra recently signed an agreement with the Philippines based Energy Development Corporation (EDC) to fund the development six of Alterra's geothermal projects in Chile and Peru, subject to EDC being satisfied with the results of due diligence field work on the projects. The stock did not see much of a boost from the announcement, most likely because EDC has not yet committed to the projects. Yet given Alterra's current value pricing this seems as good a time as any to buy on the expectation that EDC will chose to go ahead with development at at least one of the projects.
Geothermal developer stocks have remained at beaten-down levels for over a year now, despite the companies making significant progress on their projects. While geothermal development is a much riskier business than more predictable development of other types of renewables, all of these developers are trading at a fraction of book value, which more than compensates for the risks involved, especially when held as part of a diversified portfolio.
A dip in a hot spring might be just the thing to the chill gripping the worlds stock markets in late 2012.

In April, Princeton Architectural Press released the first monograph by Jeanne Gang of Studio Gang Architects. Reveal is completely enthralling, so much so that it becomes impossible not to pour over every single footnote, photo caption, and insert. There are incredible nuggets of information packed throughout, all of which provide a voyeuristic glimpse into the day-to-day operations of one of the most wildly successful and innovative design firms coming out of Chicago.**
I have to admit that I tend to get nervous when an artist I admire steps boldly into new territory – in this instance writing. There is always the fear of disappointment, but fortunately Reveal does nothing of the sort.
The book is organized according to a logic that underscores much of the undertakings of Studio Gang – by material. It is this fascination, obsession really, with material that makes Studio Gang's work so compelling. They're consistently pushing the boundaries, and in doing so, challenging perceived limitations of materials from both performance and aesthetic perspectives. This approach to design is refreshingly scientific and deeply rooted in a process of assemblage. The studio searches for inspiration in seemingly unlikely places, and it is this guiding philosophy that distinguishes their approach from that of many other firms.
For example, when you think about steel what comes to mind? For those at Studio Gang, one answer would be samurai swords. Seems strange at first, but by the end of the essay I found myself nodding in agreement wondering why I hadn't made that connection ages ago. This is just one example of the seemingly disparate connections Reveal pushes you to make, thereby confronting the often times insular world of architecture.
What's particularly nice about Reveal is that it doesn't try to do too much. That doesn't sound like a compliment, but it really is. Since this is their first publication, Jeanne could have crammed loads of information in here, surely there is a great selection to choose from, but instead she demonstrates great restraint, letting the Studio Gang narrative come to life through a robust collection of images, sketches, foldout essays, and graphics – for those graphically inclined, the credits page is not to be missed (see this article at Imprint for numerous page illustrations from the book). As a whole, the publication challenges the commonplace way in which public discourse on architecture is shaped – i.e. around one, maybe two, superstar partners – and instead, insists upon acknowledging a broad range of collaborators (engineers, scientists, fellow architects, students to name a few) that make each of Studio Gang's designs possible.
Reveal illuminates the idiosyncratic approach through which Studio Gang garners inspiration, and it is precisely this process that lends credence to the studio's overall designs – designs that seamlessly articulate the needs of clients, communities and environment.
I patiently await the next installment, and something tells me I'm not alone.
**Editor's note: In the interest of full disclosure, it should be noted that Jeanne Gang is a supporter of NRDC, where the writer is currently employed.
Elizabeth Corr received a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a master's degree in African Studies from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her graduate work focused on contemporary African art in post-apartheid South Africa. She lives in Chicago and works at NRDC, an environmental nonprofit.

PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) a simple cost effective way to buy your new or nearly new
You choose the car, the deposit, how long you want the contract to run for and the mileage you intend to do. You will then receive a quote for fixed cost motoring for the length of the contract. At the end of the contract you have a choice to either buy the car outright for an agreed lump sum (the GFV or final balloon payment), or hand the vehicle back to the lender.
Hire Purchase allows you to take ownership of a car once all payments are made.
This is one of the most popular methods to buy a new vehicle. You pay an initial deposit, then pay off the balance in monthly payments over an agreed period of time, when the payments are complete the car is yours.
One of the main benefits with Hire Purchase is the ability to buy a high value vehicle on
monthly payments.
Hire Purchase allows you to tailor your finance package as deposit, length of time and monthly payments are all flexible.
Personal contract hire is very similar to normal contract hire, but is exclusively for
private individuals. This
is one of the most common form of leasing.
With a personal contract hire agreement you take control of a car for a contractual period - usually referred to as the 'lease period'. You will make fixed monthly payments for the duration of the contract - when the contract expires you will simply return the car and take out a new personal contract hire lease. PCH means you never have to worry about resale values of your car.

The Rusco sediment trapper filters use centrifugal separation technology to filter sediment from water. The Rusco Sediment Trapper has a unique element design that traps sediment in the lower reservoir of the clear cover. The debris settles in the bottom of the clear cover away from the filter screen. The Rusco Sediment Trapper model should be used over the Rusco Spin-Down model when there is heavy sediment in the water supply. The Rusco clear cover is made of high impact polymer resin for maximum strength and durability. The top of the Rusco system is made of PVC. The Rusco filtration system has a polyester screen filter. The Rusco filter system's filter screen is cleanable and reusable. The Rusco systems have a clear cover that can easily be removed for cleaning. No tools are required to remove the cover. Sediment is visible through the clear cover indicating when the filter needs to be flushed. Rusco Sediment Filters have an open ball valve to easily flush sediment. When the Rusco filter is full of sediment, simply open the ball valve to flush the sediment. Rusco water filtration systems are made from molded non-corrosive materials.

Something weird happened last night. Just after 10 pm, the Symphony's PICK3 sales stopped abruptly. Does that mean everybody interested in Symphony discounts went to bed? Hardly. It means the Symphony's web site crashed in a very strange way.
The Symphony URL or web address (www.sasymphony.org) was still there. The colors and frames provided by our WordPress environment were still there. But all the CONTENT disappeared! Our website has over 700 pages and for some unknown reason, they just vanished.
I first noticed it about 4 am this morning. I like to blog and write early in the morning. I quickly dashed off panicked emails to anybody who might help — our web designers, our IT company and our web host, Rackspace. When I got to the office I spoke with an IT expert who said, "Well, I've never seen anything like this before." Not what I was hoping to hear!
Finally I reached Tony Campbell at Rackspace and he saved the day. He found out that the problem was a unexpected conflict with different components of our web site and automatic updates. This is where it gets a little complicated, so have patience. You have all seen automatic updates, right? Some screen pops up and asked you to update your browser or Windows? You are terrified that this is really some spam and virus, but you click on it anyway.
The Symphony web site is designed using a program called WordPress. It is a huge open source project that runs tens of thousands and thousands of blogs and web sites around the world. The software has been downloaded more than 65 million times! WordPress provides the framework, but it doesn't do all the work. For specific tasks you add Plug-Ins. An example of a Plug-In is a program that runs our calendar on the upper right hand page of our website.
Sometime after 10pm last night, our WordPress received automatic updates. However, our calendar program is now discontinued and it hasn't had updates in some time. It was still working fine and so nobody thought to replace it. But, this last WordPress update created an unanticipated conflict with this old calendar. The bizarre result was that all our text vanished from sight, but it was really still there.
Tony at Rackspace thought to try an experiment. He unplugged our calendar Plug-In and that brought the rest of the site back! So, as of about 3 pm this afternoon the Symphony site is 95% functional. THANK YOU TONY!
Of course, the calendar function in the upper right hand corner is still off. We are going to have to find a replacement. But, you can still access a listing of all the Symphony concerts in the UPCOMING CONCERTS sections in the lower left hand corner of every page. This is a chronological listing of all our concerts, but it doesn't use any calendar graphics. So, it still works.
There is one other problem that we haven't figured out yet. On the PICK3 page, we have a listing of all the 51 concerts available in the sale. For some reason, they are no longer in chronological order. They are still there and the sale still works, but it takes a tad more work to find the concerts you want. I'm so sorry for this inconvenience. To compensate for all those folks who tried to participate in the PICK3 sale while the site was down, we are going to leave it up and running live all weekend. The sale officially ends on Friday at noon. We will shut down our box office (554-1010) at that time. But, we will leave the web site up all weekend for additional PICK3 purchases.
Thanks again to Tony. I can't imagine how he figured out such a unusual problem. And thanks to all who tried our web site today and did NOT call the office in anger!

Throughout April, High Note Humor (based in Haddonfield, NJ) ran the South Jersey Stand-up Championship at The Taproom Grill. On April 26th, Paul Welsh took home the championship belt. Here's Paul with more about his stand-up history, writing process, and upcoming shows.
WitOut: How did you first get into stand-up?
Paul Welsh: I was always the one to crack a joke or a funny line but about ten years ago my wife signed me up for a stand-up comedy class at Mercer County Community College as a Christmas present. She said "You think you are so funny…now go and learn how to do it properly." I got the bug and a group of us from the class continued to work together, writing and performing wherever we could.
WO: What's your joke writing process like?
PW: I was born in England and I tend to notice little differences between England and America. I then use these ideas to develop material. The process isn't always the same, sometimes I get an idea and write the joke within minutes…other times the idea languishes in a notebook for months or even years.
WO: How did you prepare for the South Jersey Stand-up Championships? Did you write a totally new set specifically for the contest, or was it all tried-and-true material?
PW: To be honest I had forgotten about the semi-final until the afternoon of the show…I was cleaning out my garage when I got a reminder email from the High Note guys so I scrambled to put my set together. So for my semi-final I used all tried and tested material…but I was a bit better prepared for the final and wanted to do a different set so I threw in some new stuff…it seemed to work.
WO: Winning this contest probably felt pretty good, but since you're a comic, I'm assuming you've had plenty of onstage experiences that felt pretty miserable, too. Describe your worst onstage moment, and how/what you learned from it.
PW: I think the most difficult one was when I was starting out and was asked to host a show at a hotel in North Jersey. They hadn't promoted it very well so nobody showed up…I mean nobody! At show time the room was completely empty. So the show's promoter was out in the hotel lobby pleading with people to come in…no cover…no drink minimum. He persuaded two couples to come in and so I opened the show to those four people. I learned that whatever the circumstances to perform my set with the same enthusiasm…it was my job to keep those four people entertained so they wouldn't leave. They eventually did leave but not until after my set!!
WO: What's next for Paul Welsh? Any upcoming shows or other projects in the works?
PW: I am in the process of refreshing my material so I am in writing mode right now.
I have some shows coming up:
5/18 Hornets Nest, Browns Mills NJ
5/31 Hibernian Club, Hamilton NJ
6/1 German American Club, Hamilton NJ
6/7 Sandi Pointe, Somers Point NJ

State Attorney To Hold Trayvon Conference Within 72 Hours
George Zimmerman Attorneys Removed Selves From Case Tuesday
In a news release issued by the State Attorney's Office Tuesday evening, state attorney Angela Corey announced she will hold a conference within the next 72 hours regarding the Trayvon Martin shooting death investigation.
Click Like For Central Florida News Updates:
Martin was shot and killed by volunteer neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman on Feb. 26. Zimmerman has claimed self-defense and has been in hiding throughout much of the investigation.
"The media will receive an email notification three hours in advance with information for the time and location," Tuesday's news release said.
The conference could occur in either Sanford or Jacksonville.
Also on Tuesday, two attorneys representing Zimmerman said they are removing themselves from the case.
Craig Sonner and Hal Uhrig said they have lost contact with Zimmerman and haven't spoken to him in two days.
"He has gone on his own. I'm not sure what he's doing or who he's talking to," said legal adviser Craig Sonner. "If he wants us to come back as counsel, he will contact us."
Attorneys said they still believe Zimmerman was acting in self-defense but cannot stay with a client who does not stay in contact.
The decision now lies solely with Corey within the next 72 hours on whether to file criminal charges against Zimmerman.

This effect is stunning. Two clear drinking glasses, a playing card and two Half Dollars are shown. The card is placed on the mouth of one glass and the second glass is set on top of the card. Both Halves are dropped into the upper glass and when they hit the card one coin passesthrough the card and falls into the bottom glass! The coins are dumped on the table and you havea clean finish.

Talk:Learning Haskell
From HaskellWiki
Revision as of 22:25, 29 November 2006 by Wolfgang Jeltsch (talk | contribs)
Page structure
I'd like to restructure 3 pages.
The basics. An overview of the compilers, best tutorials, much as it is.
All the books and tutorials for learning.
All the papers.
So essentially, they are increasing in order of difficulty for the reader. This means moving some of the material on Books and tutorals onto Research papers. And then linking to Research papers on the front page.
comp.lang.functional FAQ
This FAQ seems to be very outdated, at least in part. The section on Gofer says: "The Gofer system provides an interpreter for a small language based closely on the current version of the Haskell report." and claims that the Gopher protocol is widely used.

REAL NAME: Jamar Shipman
5' 9", 192 pounds
BORN: Elizabeth, New Jersey
NICKNAMES: Hydro
A former multimedia student at Union County (New Jersey) College, Jamar Shipman, the man TNA and Ring of Honor fans have come to know as Jay Lethal received training for his 2002 wrestling debut came as a result of winning a contest, which entitled him to six months of free training at the Jersey All Pro Wrestling school.
After the JAPW school closed down, he also studied under Mickey Whipwreck and names Dan Maff as a mentor.
With his career barely started, Shipman aka Jay Lethal defeated Ghost Shadow and Rain for the Jersey All Pro Wrestling television title on September 13, 2002 to begin a reign that lasted 11 months before he lost the title to Skinhead Ivan on August 2, 2003. He quickly followed up with success in JCW, winning that organization's Television title on June 29, 2003 with a victory over Dirty Money, and the J-Cup by defeating Homicide on August 24, 2003.
Meanwhile, Lethal, was wrestling for Ring of Honor, where he was known as Hydro and joined forced with Jody Fleisch, Angeldust, Deranged, Izzy, Dixie, Slim J, Slugga, Yeyo, and Brian XL as part of a heel stable known as Special K (a ravers gimmick), competing in several "Scramble" matches against other teams in Ring of Honor, most notably the Carnage Crew and the Spanish Announce Table.
Splitting time between Ring of Honor and JAPW, Lethal (as he was still known in the organization) defeated Azrael, Insane Dragon and Jack Evans on February 28, 2004 to win the JAPW Light Heavyweight title and, in June, would defeat Amazing Red and Sonjay Dutt at an APW show. Lethal would work for several other independent companies, including Combat Zone Wrestling and USA Pro Wrestling and, in September, would defeat Jerrelle Clark at the NWA Wildside 5th anniversary show, the same month he would team with former adversary Azrael to win a tag team tournament in NWA Upstate New York. (Azriel would, in December, upend Lethal for the JAPW Light Heavyweight title in a "belt vs. loser leaves town" match.)
Starting in July 2004, on the advice of Samoa Joe, who told him to start acting more serious, Lethal would drop the Hydro moniker in Ring of Honor, and left Special K. Lethal began battling Princess Nana's stable, especially the Weapons of Masked Destruction (which included Flash Flanagan) and Jimmy Rave. A victory over Rave on February 19, 2005 made Lethal the number one contender to the ROH Pure title. The current Pure champion John Walters defeated Lethal in Lethal's first title opportunity, but Lethal remained a top contender for the title.
Back in JAPW, Lethal's quest for that organization's Heavyweight Championship saw him attacked by his former mentor and then-champion Dan Maff after a January 28, 2005 title match that saw Lethal win the title, only to have the decision overturned. Maff tried to give Lethal the title, then attacked his former protege when Lethal's back was turned, and received help from referee Sean Hanson.
On March 5, 2005, Jay Lethal defeated John Walters to become ROH Pure Champion. Then, on March 26, 2005, Lethal was to be awarded the vacant JAPW Championship (Maff had subsequently retired). Preferring to earn the title, Lethal lost a subsequent title match against Homicide but finally defeated Homicide on May 21st in a fatal fourway match that also included Kevin Steen and Samoa Joe.
Lethal's ROH title reign lasted until May 7th, when he lost to Samoa Joe. When Lethal and Joe were attacked after the match by Homicide and Low Ki, the pair teamed up in a tag match that saw Lethal stretchered from the ring after being injured by Homicide.
Lethal would return to ROH and team with Samoa Joe against Homicide and Low Ki (aka the Rottweilers). In JAPW, meanwhile, Lethal faced off against Charlie Haas, who had turned on Lethal (and his father) during a six-man tag match against Steve Corino, Ricky Landell and Ricky Silver. Lethal would successfully defend the JAPW title against Haas on September 10, 2005.
Samoa Joe and Lethal continued to team, even after their feud with the Rottweilers was over. That is, until Lethal turned on Joe during a December 3rd match between the two. One of their first rematches came not in ROH, but on an episode of TNA Impact, where Joe defeated Lethal by submission.
On January 7, 2006, Lethal's reign as JAPW Champion came to an end at the hands of Rhino. That same month, he agreed to terms with NWA-TNA and was released from Ring of Honor, following a loss to Samoa Joe. He would go on to battle NWA World Champion Jeff Jarrett on an episode of Impact and recently qualified to be a member of Team USA in the upcoming X Cup. At Against All Odds, Lethal won a Fatal Fourway match over Petey Williams, Alex Shelley, and Matt Bentley.

Do not allow the water to evaporate leaving the minerals behind. Products found at hardware and grocery stores that are advertised as hardness stain removers are effective. A home treatment system like a water softener or reverse osmosis will remove the minerals that cause these stains, but water softeners can increase sodium levels.

An open letter from Jeff Belskus
[INDYCAR PR] Jeff Belskus responds to fan concerns over Randy Bernard's firing and outlines a plan for INDYCAR's future.
IMS must also remember its roots
My colleague Steph recently wrote a wonderful post about how IndyCar, as the Series, needs to remember its roots and not forget the working men and women that bought tickets, became devoted followers, and formed the bedrock of open-wheel racing's success here in America. My only qualm with what Steph wrote is that I don't think she took it far enough. It's not only the IZOD IndyCar Series and the Indy Racing League that must remember its roots. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corporation needs to remember how it become the world's greatest race course.

Nuggets PG Andre Miller: The NBA's most unsung Ironman
Friday night, Andre Miller tied Stacey Augmon on the NBA's most games played list. Yep, Stacey Augmon, at 1,001 games played at the highest level of basketball in the world. He's 97th in NBA history.
I must admit I was 1) kind of surprised that Stacey Augmon had even played over 1,000 games in the NBA; and 2) That there are now 100 players in the history of the league to reach the 1,000 games played mark. I thought the group was a bit more exclusive than that.
And yet, in a league that has literally seen thousands of players bounce in and out, this is, in fact, a very exclusive list. And now Miller is on it. There may not be a more underrated, underappreciated player on that list of longevity's superstars.
The way he's playing it seems like Miller may have another 1,000 in him. In his 13th season, second only to Al Harrington as the eldest of the elder statesman on the team, there are few Nuggets having a better season or more impact on winning than Miller.
It's fun to ask him to recall the times he didn't play. It takes a minute, but he can get most of them. There are only six, meaning he's played in 1,001 of a possible 1,007 times in his career. He's taken the shortest possible route to get to 1,000. That's remarkable to him, to the coaches he's played for, to the teammates he's had…to everyone.
"It means something to me just because I enjoy being on the basketball court," Miller said. "I take pride in practice and in being on the court. So, I don't like to miss games. I'm blessed that I haven't had any major injuries, so that helps."
This season has proceeded just as the others. He's always there, most always effective and, even if he hasn't always been overjoyed at his reserve role, has remained a positive influence on his younger counterpart, Ty Lawson.
Ask Miller if 1,000 was ever on his mind when he entered the NBA in 1999, and he won't definitively say it wasn't. He basically never missed games at Utah, playing under mastermind coach Rick Majerus. If the years were there, he reasons, a number like this could be attainable.
"I knew if I kept my habits from college and from growing up and staying healthy at the same time, I'd be able to have some longevity in this league," said Miller, who is 12th on the all-time NBA assists chart. "I've been blessed with not being injured and being able to play that amount of games at a high level; that's pretty tough to do."
Miller admits "a little bit of luck" has played into his success. "Some guys are injury-prone," he says. "Some guys get a little bit of nicks and they are out for a while. I tend to try to play through them, I take pride in that. I try to carry my habits from practice over to the game."
But there was no celebrating the milestone. He stays focused on the next night, the next game, the next practice. He'll reflect on it though, he says.
"Maybe in the summer."

So I have been looking for something that allows me to get an array of themes that are network enabled (set in the Network Admin > Themes)
There is the field called "allowedthemes" in the wp_options table however, this function is slightly different. It only contains themes that are enabled for that given networked blog as oppose to a global enable... if that makes sense? So it's scope is limited to one blog ID instead of all blogs (this info is set in the Network Admin > Sites > (clicking edit button of desired blog) > Themes).
Anyways, if anyone has any solutions it would be much appreciated :) Thanks!

Officers enter floodwater to search for driver
The family of a driver who was rescued by three officers after his semi dove into floodwater along Interstate 80 said Friday he is recovering.
Dwayne Michael, 70, was trapped inside his truck in a small pocket of air after the crash early Thursday.
Michael's son Mark told KCCI that Dwayne went home from the hospital Thursday night. He has bruised ribs, cuts, scrapes and is pretty sore, said Mark, but he's doing OK.
The family is taking the time Friday to track down phone numbers for all of the officers involved to thank them personally, Mark said.
Officers entered floodwater to save Michael after a Jasper County Sheriff's Office dispatcher received a 911 call about debris on Interstate 80 east of Colfax at 2:04 a.m.
Deputy Jeremy Burdess arrived on the scene and found the semi tractor-trailer submerged in Prairie Creek, which runs under the interstate.
"I wasn't sure what I would see when I got there. I wasn't expecting that," Burdess told KCCI's Laura Nichols. "When I saw it, I was not expecting someone to be alive inside."
Burdess called for assistance. When Newton Police Officer Adam Herman and Baxter Police Officer Joe Bartello arrived, they and Burdess entered the creek, which was estimated to be 12 feet deep due to flooding.
"Officer Herman could reach through and was holding his hand and they were trying to communicate, see who he was, what his injuries were," said Bartello.
The officers found Dwayne Michael, 70, trapped inside the cab of the truck in a small pocket of air.
"We had no idea what to do. We just knew that we had to go in after him because he obviously wasn't going to be able to get out himself," said Burdess.
Officers were able to communicate with Michael, and Bartello swam through the windshield to bring Michael out.
"I found a big opening. I think it must have been in the windshield that was broken out of the vehicle. I started feeling around with my feet in there," said Bartello. "He was wheezing. The air in there was pretty bad. It smelled like gasoline so I knew we had to get him out of there. I grabbed ahold of him. We took a deep breath, and I knocked three times and the two of them pulled us out of there."
The officers and Colfax Fire Department personnel were able to rescue Michael.
He was taken to a Des Moines hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
"It was great to know that we saved a life and we did our job," said Burdess.
The semi is owned by Orr Trucking Company. An investigation into the cause of the crash continues.

Q: So you were talking about the connection that you and Desiree had and the feelings that you felt were going on.
Mikey Tenerelli: Yes, absolutely. I mean, right out of the limo I felt - I saw the connection with Desiree. We - physically and intellectually. Sometimes you hear the saying that it takes a minute or two to kind of establish something; and I felt like that with her - when you know, you know type deal. So pretty much from the limo and then everything afterwards - every conversation I had, as you see, it went well. And talked a lot about family; talked about her life, my life, where do we see it going; different things we had in common and things we did not have in common. And that just furthered every time her and I met, every time I talked with her, every group date. It progressed naturally like that - like a natural relationship would - over time.
Q: And then there's so many different types of guy on this show; and she seems to have attractions to different guys for different reasons. But I was wondering if you feel like you were able to pinpoint what her type of guy is that she's looking for.
Mikey Tenerelli: It was so hard, because - 25 different guys - some of them were similar in ways, some of them were different in ways. We all had different things we brought to the table. Like I said, I felt like there were a few guys that were like myself, that kept moving on in the process; so I felt good about that.
But then there were a few guys that I felt like my personality and my look was kind of opposite of, moving on as well. So as usual with this type of process, I was kind of - my head was spinning the whole time, and I was just trying to continue things with her the best I felt possible.
Q: So this week's broadcast showed Drew telling the other guys that he and Casey had overheard a conversation you had with James, in which James mentioned he could potentially be the next bachelor if he made it to the top four, and you both taking your boat out and picking up beautiful girls with money. Did that really all happen as Drew and Casey were shown explaining it? And if not, could you clarify what James told you exactly?
Mikey Tenerelli: Sure. Basically what happened was, James and I were on the group date together in Germany on the mountaintop. As you recall, (Brookes) got the group date rose. Myself and James included - I was good friends with James on the show, so him and I talked afterwards. We both felt like we had a really good shot at getting that group date rose.
So when Brookes got it, I was upset; because, as stated before, there were some guys that I had some similarities with in the house, and some guys I felt like I was opposite to. And I felt like I was really opposite Brookes in terms of my look and my personality.
So when I continued to see him getting roses, and then especially when he got this group date rose in Germany, I was frustrated. And what happened was - is James and I were talking on the way back, in the car, and I was just kind of airing it out. James and I were talking as friends talk. What we said was, "Hey, we hope this works out. If it doesn't we both live in Chicago; we'll have a good time in the summer." I did mention the fact that I have a boat, and we'll take it out.
It was a normal conversation. There was no mention of who's going to be the next Bachelor, anything like that. It was more of just two guys just kind of saying, "Hey, if it doesn't work out, life goes on, and things happen." And if Drew or any other guy, or Desiree or anyone I know has never had that kind of conversation when they've been frustrated with something or someone, then please bring them forward; because that would be bizarre to me.
Q: How did that conversation come about from Drew and Casey - Did you actually plan on sharing that information with the other guys, or Des, or did Drew just beat you to the punch, or did you think the information just wasn't relevant, and you had a different perspective on it?
Mikey Tenerelli: Basically, the conversation that I had with James - I didn't believe was relevant at all to bring up to Desiree or the other guys. It - like I said, it was just two friends just talking, and airing out their frustrations. The fact that Drew overheard it, and made a huge deal of it - obviously from what we've seen on the last episode, I'm assuming he's going to confront James on it. I never would ever have imagined that it went - would've sent that far.
Like I said, it was just more James and I expressing our frustrations and saying hopefully it does work out for you or I; but if it doesn't, life goes on, and we'll do these things in Chicago. And that was it.
Q: So obviously we saw you and Michael were very anti-Ben this season. What did you think when you saw Michael's approach on the two-on-one date?
Mikey Tenerelli: You know, I was proud of (Michael); because all the issues we had with Ben, as you saw - Michael kind of brought up to Desiree. I don't think any of the other guys did that thus far this season, as we saw. And I was - I was proud of the fact that he brought up some of the real pressing things that all the rest of the guys learned and saw, and that.
So yes - Desiree, as you saw, kind of said, "Hey, you're getting a little harsh," this and that. But Michael had a lot of built-up frustration. And he just kind of - I thought he went about it in a good way. He was diligent about it. He didn't scream and yell and go nuts. He just made his point and went on. So I'm very proud of what he did on that two-on-one date.
Q: So on the group date, we saw you getting really annoyed when Zach interrupted your time with Des. Do you think if you had more time with her, you could've stayed?
Mikey Tenerelli; You know, it's hard to tell. It's - I got frustrated with anyone who interrupted me - not just Zach, but anyone; because it's just fight for such little time. I'd like to say that yes, if I got more time with Des I would've stayed. I think part of the conversation, as you saw - Des asked me about Chicago, and if I was willing to pick up and leave. And I said that if you're in love with someone, you will make it work. And that was my answer to her.
For some reason that sticks with me; and I feel like that wasn't a good enough answer, or that wasn't the answer she was looking for. But of course I would've loved more time. And I feel like I could've sorted things. But I wasn't frustrated directly at Zach, or - I was frustrated at everyone that interrupted me.
LASplash -Lori Peters: Hi, Mikey. How are you today?
Mikey Tenerelli: I'm good. How about yourself?
LASplash - Lori Peters: Great. I'm in New York. So when you had your time with Desiree, and you were talking about making a little snow family with five or ten kids - did you think back on that and see that maybe that scared her a little, or about moving to Chicago for Desiree?
Mikey Tenerelli: I think from the conversations that I've had with her, we both talked and agreed that we would like big families. So I don't think that the five kids discussion bothered her at all. I think we were on the same page with that. I do think, though - I think she started to notice how - I always talk about my family, and about and my friends and things.
And I think she started, as the weeks went on, to pick up on the fact that I wasn't just willing to pick up and leave; that - and the answer I gave her in Germany was that if we would love each other, we'll make it work; we'll figure it out. I didn't give a definite answer. And I think that was really what got me eliminated in Germany.
Lori Peters: Were you really surprised and shocked when this happened?
Mikey Tenerelli: I was definitely surprised. I thought that things were progressing. I thought that the answer I gave her about "we'll make it work" was good enough. I was looking forward to getting a one-on-one; I hadn't had the chance - that much time with her. I felt like I offered enough and brought enough to the table where she would have wanted to spend the full day with me in a one-on-one type situation. So I was definitely surprised. I felt like things were progressing. But I guess they weren't progressing as much as some of the other guys.
Q: Do you regret your off-camera conversation that you had with James?
Mikey Tenerelli: I don't at all. I wear my heart on my sleeve; when I'm frustrated, I express it. I didn't say anything that was out of line. I just mentioned the fact that if things don't work out, and (Brookes) keeps getting these roses, life will go and we'll have a good time. All I was doing was really airing out my frustrations; and I was putting life in perspective and being a realist about it. And I don't think that that had any effect on me leaving at all.
Q: Have you apologized to Desiree at all?
Mikey Tenerelli: I never got a chance to. Even if I were to get a chance, I don't necessarily think that I would; because I really don't think that I said anything out of line. And I didn't think that there was anything wrong with what I said. So basically, what happened though is at that last rose ceremony in Germany, I got eliminated and never really even got a chance to talk to her about it. If it would've even been brought up - because Desiree was a very understanding, levelheaded person; and she - I'm assuming - would understand that people have frustrations. And when they have frustrations, they air it out, and it's as simple as that.
Q: You told me earlier that (James) actually never made a comment about potentially being the next Bachelor. But Drew was pretty insistent about what he believed he had heard. So do you think something came up in your conversation with James that Drew maybe misinterpreted? Or are you saying Drew made it up completely?
Mikey Tenerelli: What I'm saying is that the conversation with James - he did not talk about being the next Bachelor. Drew was sleeping; but supposedly he was not sleeping when he overheard us. So maybe he was dreaming about being the next Bachelor himself, and thought that James said that. But that was not said between James and i.
Q: And Des chose to forgo the cocktail party and just go straight into the rose ceremony, because she said she had made her mind up and didn't want to put the guys she was eliminating through that, when she was sure of her decision. So once you realized she was sending you home - were you a little offended or insulted she didn't give you more time?
Mikey Tenerelli: I definitely was frustrated though; because why not spend another 20, 30 minutes with me, talking to me. If the issue was me picking up and leaving Chicago, why not illiterate on it more - air it out more; talk to me about it a little more; give me a chance to elaborate more, than just the five-minute conversation I had on the mountaintop.
So I was - I was angry about it. I was frustrated. I wanted to get more time at the cocktail party. And I was hurt by the fact that she already made her mind up, and I was the guy that she made her mind up about. So that wasn't easy to deal with.
But at the same time, from what I know about Des, and from our conversations, once she makes her mind up, she makes her mind up. And I don't know if I could've talked another 20 minutes or half hour, if it would've changed anything. But I do appreciate the fact that she was honest with herself, and didn't have the cocktail party in that regard.
Q: Bryden chose to quit the show. Could you guys sense he was unsure about his feelings for Des when he opened up about leaving? Do you respect Bryden for the decision, or do you think he should've handled it differently?
Mikey Tenerelli: Well, Bryden's decision came up in Atlantic City, as you saw on T.V. That's when he started doubting the process; that's when he started doubting his connection with Desiree; that's when he started doubting his feelings. So when that happened in Atlantic City, I was totally shocked. I thought that - I considered him to be a front-runner. I thought they had a good connection. He got one of the first one-on-one dates.
And so when I heard in Atlantic City, I was shocked. And I wasn't shocked in Germany; because once someone has those types of feelings like Bryden did, to me it's only the beginning of the end. I feel like it was going to happen; I just didn't know when. And it happened in Germany. And it is what it is. But Bryden - I tip my hat to him. He's an honest guy. I have nothing but respect for him.
And as Desiree talked about on the show, it is a two-way street. It's not always Desiree eliminating you and everyone's in love with Desiree; it's got to be mutual, but Bryden didn't feel like that and he left, what was it - 10 of us, at that time - an opportunity to further our connections and take himself out of the equation; because he just wasn't into it.
Q: It seemed like he was having those feelings for a little while. Des was clearly upset that he didn't at least tell her before traveling to Europe.
Mikey Tenerelli: Bryden is a very up-front and honest person; he's a good person. So I know that when we got on the plane from Atlantic City to Germany, that in his head, he still saw a chance for things to work out. If he didn't, he never would've gotten on that plane. And I know Des wasn't happy about that. But I could tell you that - like I said - Bryden wouldn't have made that trip if he didn't think there was a small chance of things moving forward. Obviously when he got to Germany, he realized that it just wasn't going to happen.
Q: I just want to get your overall opinion of James, and what you think his intentions were, because in previews it definitely looks like James is going to get attacked by the guys for being on the show for the wrong reasons. So I don't know if you think he deserves that or not.
Mikey Tenerelli: He definitely does not deserve that. James and I were best friends on the show; there's no doubt about it. I think that conveniently, I get eliminated; and then conveniently, the guys kind of gang up on him. I don't think that would've happened if I was there, because it was only James and I that were part of the conversation that they're attacking him on.
So he was not there for the wrong reasons. He's a good kid. He talked to me about Desiree, and I knew that they had something good. I thought that he was going to be a front-runner and the whole thing about the conversation got blown way out of proportion. And I really think that that was just used as a tactic to try to eliminate some
Q: I just wanted to ask you about Ben again. Do you have any regrets about getting so angry about that? Do you think it distracted you from Des at all?
You know, I don't think he distracted me from Des. I think that the time I had with Des, I cleared my mind and I just concentrated on her and I don't regret anything. The type of person I am, if I feel like someone's double-crossing me or if I feel like someone's lying or hiding things, I just have to air it out; and I have to confront them about it.
So I don't regret anything that happened. I'm pretty much the guy that called him out on a few things, and made the whole house aware of what was going on. And it wasn't just me that thought that - obviously from what you've seen. Overall, I don't have any regrets with my time …

POSTGAME: Recap | Notes | Quotes | Box Score (html) | Box Score (pdf) | Transcript

LINKS: Game Day Magazine | Buckeye Gear
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – Ohio State doesn't get to play in a bowl game.
But the Buckeyes have a sweet victory to carry them through a cold winter.
Carlos Hyde ran for 146 yards and No. 4 Ohio State's defense shut out 20th-ranked Michigan in the second half to grab a bruising 26-21 win on Saturday, completing an improbable 12-0 season for the Buckeyes.
Almost no one – up to and including first-year head coach Urban Meyer – expected such a rapid turnaround for the Buckeyes, who were just 6-7 last season with a loss to their archrivals in a transitional year when they were facing heavy NCAA penalties. A month after Meyer took the job last November, they were socked with a bowl ban after this season – and still ran the table.
Ohio State (12-0, 8-0 Big Ten) is ineligible for a BCS national title but still has an outside shot at finishing No. 1 in the final Associated Press Top 25 if other contenders lose. Michigan (8-4, 6-2) will now await a minor bowl bid.
Drew Basil matched his season output with four field goals and the defense did the rest, forcing three turnovers in the second half.
It was played before 105,899, the largest crowd ever to witness "The Game" in Columbus.
Meyer and his players were mobbed by thousands of fans who flooded the field after the Buckeyes' ninth victory in the last 11 years in the rivalry (the 2010 win was later vacated by the sanctions).
"It'll go down as one of the great teams in Ohio State history," Meyer exulted after the game.
Hyde also ran for a touchdown. Braxton Miller completed 14 of 18 passes for 189 yards and a score to Corey Brown, who had eight catches for 95 yards.
The Buckeyes had already clinched the Big Ten's Leaders Division, but aren't allowed to play in next Saturday's conference title game. Michigan needed a win to capture a share of the Legends Division with Nebraska, which will meet Wisconsin for the championship.
Now, about Ohio State can hope for is every other top team in the nation – including the only other unbeaten, top-ranked Notre Dame – to lose and lose badly in the coming weeks. A team banned from the postseason has never finished No. 1 in the AP Top 25 poll, and the Buckeyes are not eligible for the Bowl Championship Series rankings or coaches' poll.
Michigan's Denard Robinson had a brilliant first half but was largely invisible in the second. He totaled 122 yards on 10 carries, but had lost 2 yards on his four carries after halftime.
Devin Gardner, the other half of Michigan's quarterback tandem, was 11 of 20 for 171 yards with an interception and a touchdown pass.
For the Buckeyes, the game will be remembered for the staunch defense played when most needed. Michigan had 26 plays for 219 yards in first half, then ran 21 plays for a net of 60 yards in the second.
For the Wolverines, there will be lingering questions for coach Brady Hoke, who wore short sleeves in the freezing temperatures – just like Woody Hayes used to during the 1960s and 1970s in the rivalry.
With his team ahead 21-20, Hoke called timeout on fourth and 2 near midfield on Michigan's first possession of the second half. Robinson then ran up the middle, but ran into linebacker Ryan Shazier for a two-yard loss.
That cost the Wolverines the lead as Ohio State drove to the Michigan 11 before settling for Basil's 28-yard field goal, putting the Buckeyes up 23-21.
The teams traded possessions and turnovers for the next 12 minutes. Robinson fumbled after Bradley Roby's helmet hit the ball on a tackle, with Nathan Williams recovering for the Buckeyes.
Early in the fourth quarter, Miller was sacked on third and 9 at the Michigan 28 and coughed up the ball to Frank Clark.
But in each case the other team didn't take advantage.
The Buckeyes drove to a second and 1 at the Michigan 4 but a sack and a high snap preceded Basil missing a 39-yard field goal attempt.
The Wolverines lost 2 yards on third and 1 and were forced to punt after Miller's fumble.
Ohio State did pick up points on its next chance after a turnover.
Gardner fumbled when hit by Johnathan Hankins with 8:19 left, with Travis Howard pouncing on the loose ball after several players had a shot at it. Taking over at the Wolverines' 10, the Buckeyes could not move the ball and were forced to settle for Basil's fourth field goal of the game, a 25-yarder with 6:26 remaining, for a 26-21 lead.
That matched Basil's production the entire season. He came into the game 4 for 6 on the year.
Gardner then tossed a floater that was intercepted by C.J. Barnett, ending the Wolverines final threat as Hyde carried the ball repeatedly and the Buckeyes played keep-away to the finish.
The Buckeyes, who were without captain and top quarterback-sacker John Simon, appeared to grab control early. They scored on the opening possession, with Miller's 52-yard, play-action pass to Devin Smith setting up Hyde's 3-yard plunge.
Michigan came right back and drove to the Ohio State 22 but on third and 8 Adolphus Washington – playing because Simon was out – stripped the ball as Gardner was passing, with Zach Boren recovering.
But the Wolverines forced a punt and then needed just three plays to cover 83 yards with Gardner tossing a short pass in front of the Michigan bench to Roy Roundtree, who straight-armed Barnett and sped down the sideline accompanied by teammate Drew Dileo. The 75-yard pass play was Michigan's longest of the season.
With Miller hitting all five of his passes, the Buckeyes were stymied by three penalties in four plays and had to settle for Basil's 41-yard field goal.
Brown muffed a punt catch that was recovered by Marvin Robinson for Michigan and the Wolverines were right back in business at the Ohio State 25. On the sixth play, Gardner kept for the short TD and a 14-10 lead.
Michigan took over at its own 25 with 90 seconds left. Robinson followed two fullbacks around left end for an eight-yard gain and it appeared Hoke might just be content with running out the clock. But on second down, Robinson followed a convoy around the right side. Ohio State defensive backs Christian Bryant and Travis Howard arrived at the exact same instant, colliding while Robinson popped free. He raced untouched the rest of the way on the 67-yard TD, the 91st touchdown he has accounted for in his glittering career to pass Chad Henne for the school record.
Between the first and second quarters, Ohio State honored its 2002 national championship team. After a highlight clip was shown to a roaring crowd, several players hoisted coach Jim Tressel to their shoulders and carried him out of the end zone.
No boos were heard, or else they were drowned out – even though it was Tressel's NCAA violations which will keep this year's unbeaten Buckeyes home in the postseason.

You are currently browsing the daily archive for June 2, 2011.
The last extract from the Report of the Darusman Panel that I read referred to rape. The Panel begins its discussion of this factor by stating that 'Rape and sexual violence against Tamil women during the final stages of the armed conflict and, in its aftermath, are greatly under-reported'.
They go on to indicate that their Report is based on 'indirect accounts' and explains this by talking about many 'photos and video footage, in particular the footage provided by Channel 4'. If this is their principal evidence, one wonders about their standards, given the questions raised about the authenticity of what Channel 4 showed, the discrepancies in the dates Channel 4 put forward, the shifty segments (such as the shifting leg, which even Alston's bunch of experts could not explain).
Anyone with a modicum of intelligence combined with objectivity would have thought about previous allegations with regard to sexual violence made against our forces. The most famous of these is the pronouncement by Hillary Clinton about our forces using rape as a weapon of war, for which Ambassador Butenis apologized. While I can see that we were correct to accept her apology graciously, it is astonishing that she herself did not see fit to examine and explain how Hillary Clinton was fooled into making that particular blunder.
Then there was the famous case of I think fourteen women found with their throats cut near Menik Farm, reported with complete fraudulence by the 'Guardian', though not I hasten to add by its regular correspondent. The article was written by a callow young man named Gethin Chamberlain, who later confessed to me that he realized later the story was false. He claimed that he had written it up because he thought he had a reliable source, which I think he indicated in response to a question from me, though never directly admitting it, was a UN official. He told me that after that he had realized he should not trust that particular source, but surely a good journalist would have tried to find out why such an outrageous lie was thrust upon him.
I do not think Mr Chamberlain was quite as innocent as he pretended to be, for in his article he claimed that he had tried to contact the Ministry of Disaster Management and Human Rights, but they did not respond. The day this happened was a holiday, but since he had the number of my mobile phone, it is clear he did not even try to get hold of me. It was typical however that he wanted to both have his cake and eat it, which is why he tried to suggest that we were avoiding him, when in fact, with the usual pusillanimity of such creatures when dealing with us, he did not dare to even try to talk to us, given the enormity of the whopper he was perpetrating.
By then I had a pretty shrewd idea of what was going on, confirmed indeed by Jeremy Paige of the Sunday Times, whom I also met in Delhi around the same time. When I asked him why he was perpetrating lies, having denied that he had anything to do with the massive figures as to deaths that his colleagues were advancing, he claimed that he had UN authority for some of the things he wrote. When I pointed out that the UN had refuted these, he claimed that there were junior people in the UN who disagreed with the position of their superiors, and were therefore leaking information to journalists.

After experiencing the discomfort and embarrassment of a colonoscopy in Alabama , I decided to have my next one carried out while visiting a friend in San Francisco , where the beautiful nurses are allegedly much more gentle and accommodating.
As I lay naked on my side on the table, the gorgeous nurse began my procedure.
"Don't worry, at this stage of the procedure it's quite normal to get an erection," the nurse told me.
"I haven't got an erection," I replied.
"No, but I have," replied the nurse.

Hi all,
I'm planning on doing this layout: http://www.scarm.info/layouts/track_plans.php?ltp=61 minus the sidings for now.
Will be running two trains so plan on having 2 blocks, block 1 starting at the west end of the station going around to the east end, then block 2 starting there and going back to block 1. Being old and simple minded how do I wire this? To make it easier for me to understand, lets call the train closest to the station #1 and the outside train #2.
So train #1 is going to head west from block 2 into block 1 and train #2 will move east from block 1 into block 2. Have 2 PWMs but not sure how to do simple wiring to make it work.
Thanks for the help. Pictures would be a great help too.
