Mayor Lee proposes gutting CleanPowerSF energy program
Mayor Ed Lee on Wednesday proposed raiding $19.5 million that the San Francisco Board of Supervisors set aside to fund a renewable energy program, his administration saying the money could be better spent on additional streetlights and subsidies for solar panels on homes and businesses.
Lee's surprise move appears designed to gut funding for a program he has long opposed, despite a veto-proof majority of the board in support of it. Supervisors who support the program, CleanPowerSF, were immediately angered.
The program would give consumers the option of paying more for 100 percent renewable energy under a contract with Shell Energy North America, effectively ending Pacific Gas and Electric Co.'s decades-long monopoly on the consumer power market in San Francisco.
Called a community choice aggregation program, it allows municipalities to choose alternative electricity providers and is designed to lay the groundwork for the city to generate its own renewable power.
Stuck at the PUC
But the program has been stuck since last summer at the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, whose members the mayor nominates.
Now, faced with looming budget shortfalls, including $13 million in lost surplus power sale revenues because of the statewide drought and a $20 million annual increase in costs from PG&E for transmission, distribution and streetlights, Lee's administration says the $19.5 million being held in reserve would be better spent addressing real-time costs.
"To keep money in a piggy bank that doesn't work for people, that doesn't collect a high rate of interest, doesn't make sense," SFPUC spokesman Tyrone Jue said.
Without tapping into the CleanPowerSF reserves, the city's utility commission would be forced to borrow more funds at a higher interest rate to cover its costs, officials said.
"Our infrastructure is aging and falling apart," SFPUC General Manager Harlan Kelly said. "We're borrowing money. Just like your own finances, where you can't afford something and you put it on a credit card. You don't want to do that."
About three hours before the plan to tap the money was disclosed to the Board of Supervisors Budget and Finance Committee, Lee was on the roof of Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall amid a newly installed solar array announcing that the city would put $10 million over the next two fiscal years into GoSolarSF, a program that provides incentives for property owners to install solar panels.
The money will come from the reserves that had been set aside for the community choice aggregation program, Kelly later revealed.
Lee's spokeswoman, Christine Falvey, called it a "much better use of public funds" because the money will help put local solar installation companies to work.
"The mayor is fully funding GoSolarSF because it's going to benefit San Francisco businesses and residents and meet its clean power goals," Falvey said. "This makes financial sense. It's a good investment."
Overall budget plan
Lee's plan to change the use of the funds is part of his overall budget for the city next year that still needs to be approved by the Board of Supervisors.
Supervisor John Avalos, a vocal supporter of the clean power program, said it's ridiculous for the mayor to claim his proposal would result in greater reductions of greenhouse gas emissions. He said the entire GoSolarSF program, if implemented, would reduce the same amount of emissions over a full year as CleanPowerSF would in 12 days.
Mild-mannered progressive Supervisor Eric Mar said he was "blindsided" by Lee's proposal, but Avalos said he has been expecting something like this.
"That's how you get around the board setting a priority in the budget - you change the budget. You swap one ordinance for another," he said. "I expected it; I have been through it before ... it feels like a nail in the coffin for that version of CCA."
Avalos said Kelly should have given board members a heads-up that the proposal was coming, and that he wants the PUC to offer supervisors a menu of options for how the reserve could be spent.
For example, the PUC could spend some on solar projects, but leave some behind for clean power. The board needs that information to make an informed budget decision in the coming months, he said.
"Since the Board of Supervisors set the reserve up, the board should determine how it gets appropriated," he said. "It's been a priority for the board."
Supervisor London Breed agreed, saying the conversation shouldn't be taking place at the budget committee.
"I'm disappointed," she said. "This conversation should have been happening over the last couple weeks."
Avalos said the contention that the reserve is making a tiny investment return while the PUC borrows money at a higher rate is "not a strong argument."
"If it's collecting dust, recommend another place for us to put it - we can put it in different places" with a better rate of return, he said.
Avalos last week proposed legislation that would require the city to study the feasibility of joining Marin County's clean energy program. PUC officials argued Wednesday that draining the reserve would not impact that proposal, because the clean energy market has changed in recent years, and the city of Richmond, which joined Marin's program last year, didn't have to make any big, up-front investments.
Hooking up with Marin
That wouldn't be the case for San Francisco, said Dawn Weiz, Marin Clean Energy's executive officer, because the city is so much larger. She said Marin officials are exploring whether they could create a sort of "incubator service" that could provide San Francisco customers clean power for a couple years before Marin transfers control to the city.
"It would take money," she said. "It would be very different from what we have seen in Richmond. ... A large community like San Francisco would involve more features and likely involve a lot of different layers and as a result additional costs."

The pies of the Romans, especially at banquets in the days of the empire, were often elaborate concoctions, such as the showpieces in which were enclosed live birds. In England meat and fish pies had become common by the 14th cent., and fruit pies, often called tarts, by the 16th cent. The mince pie was an important feature of the Christmas festivities and was called "superstitious" pie by the Puritans in protest against what seemed to them a pagan manner of celebrating a holy feast. The mincemeat filling was a finely chopped, cooked mixture including raisins, currants, apples, suet, sugar, spice, and often meat, brandy or cider, candied peel, and other ingredients.

Upheaval and avant garde, form and functionality, rigour and beauty: modernism is a broad term that has shaped an entire century and remains influential today. Hardly any other museum has concentrated as exclusively on this era as Cologne's Ludwig Museum, whose collection starts in the early 20th century and traces developments right to the present day in remarkable breadth and depth.
The history of this fascinating museum, which together with the Philharmonic Hall has occupied an architecturally striking building right next to Cologne Cathedral since 1986, began with Peter and Irene Ludwig's endowment of around 350 works of modern art. Within a few decades, it had grown into the biggest collection of Pop Art outside the USA including Roy Lichtenstein's Maybe and Andy Warhol's Brillo Boxes. In addition to the Pop Art, today it owns the third-largest Picasso collection worldwide and an extensive collection of Russian avant garde from before and after the revolution, as well as important works of German Expressionism and Surrealism. Artistic movements such as Bauhaus and De Stijl, Nouveau Réalisme and Fluxus bring us to the contemporary art which the museum resolutely acquired, the most recent piece never being more than a few months old. German art of the 1970s and 1980s and installations by the younger avant garde therefore also found their way into the Ludwig Museum, completing the survey of the intriguing era of modernism through contemporary works.

Course Descriptions
Course descriptions provide information on course content, credit value, prerequisite and corequisite requirements, and course availability*. Each course has an alphanumeric code used on student schedules, transcripts, and profiles.
*The College determines course capacities and may cancel a scheduled course. The College also may approve the substitution of new or revised courses.
Course Numbers
|Course Numbers
|Developmental course work designed to prepare students for "college level" work. These courses cannot be used to satisfy graduation requirements, but are mandated if indicated by placement tests.
|Career certification course work used only in certificate majors. They are designed to prepare the student for specific career opportunity.
|Degree-level course work, usually taken by students during their first 62 credits.
|Degree-level transferred courses that do not parallel any Penn College courses.
|Special topic courses that are unique to a given semester and not part of a major. Course usage should be verified with student's adviser prior to scheduling.
|Upper-level undergraduate course work that can serve as junior/senior-level course work within a major or can support courses outside of the major.
|Upper-level undergraduate course work offered as senior-level courses in baccalaureate-degree majors.
Course Credits
The number given after the course description shows the number of credits awarded for the course. The first number in parentheses shows the number of lecture hours per week. The second number, which appears after the dash, shows the number of laboratory or shop hours per week.
Course Prerequisites and Corequisites
Pre/corequisites are key to a student's ability to schedule a course. Therefore, the curriculum sequence as detailed on the major pages is organized to ensure completion in the proper order.
Specialty Course Designations
The College recognizes special categories of courses required by primarily bachelor-degree majors:
- Art Enrichment (ART) - These courses emphasize design concepts and applications, artistic expression, and the relationship of the arts to humanity.
- Cultural Diversity (CUL) - These courses examine attitudes, bias, and traditions leading to common misunderstandings of various groups due to ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation.
- Science, Technology, and Society (STS) - These courses analyze the impact of technology upon social interactions, public health, personal and professional relationships, industry and economy, and the global society.
- Writing Enriched (WRT) - These courses reinforce writing as a process, teach writing technique, and require regular informal and formal written assignments.
All majors have course requirements that respond to the need for general skills for life enrichment and career advancement. These skills relate to art, communication, computer science, fitness, foreign language, humanities, mathematics, science, and social science, and satisfy the goals of the core curriculum.
Open Electives - Certificate students may take any course that is not a developmental course; associate and baccalaureate students may take any course that is numbered 100 or higher. Open electives offer the broadest range of choices and may be chosen from any subject area, including the student's major area.
General Education Core Elective - A general elective can be any course outside the student's major area that meets the numbering criteria mentioned above. These electives offer a slightly narrower choice and may be selected from any subject area except for the student's major area of study.
Liberal Arts Electives - Liberal Arts electives are those with the following alpha codes: ART, BIO, CHM, ECO, ENL, GEO, HIS, HUM, MTH, PHL, PHS, PSC, PSY, SCI, SOC, and SPC.
Directed Electives - Directed electives allow choices from among courses identified for a specific major.
Some majors require that students complete an internship or practicum as part of the degree curriculum. All are arranged through the student's academic school office. See Work-Based Learning.

The Times-News editorial of Dec. 30 on the gun control debate seriously misrepresents the situation we�re in, and confuses rather than advances the discussion.
First, the substance of the commentary seems to be that we shouldn�t rush to find solutions to the problem, because dealing with it �when emotions are high� makes the job more challenging. When will emotions not be high when we see more shootings every day? Must we wait a specific time after each outrage to let our emotions and anger die? Past history suggests that when emotions have faded we tend to forget that we have a problem.
The Times-News urges �a detached view of the issues.� Detached from what? Detached from reality perhaps. The editorial warns against a �do something, anything� attitude, and suggest that an �objective analysis of risk assessment� is preferable to action now. We�ve had plenty of risk assessments over the years with no solutions ever being offered.
Second, the Times-News compares the gun problem to what it apparently believes is an overblown concern for the impact on the U.S. of international terrorism � and liquor prohibition, among other things � and note the number of people killed in terrorist incidents since 9/11 is somehow similar to those who succumb to peanut allergies or lightning strikes, and thus the perceived risk from both terrorist incidents and shootings should be re-examined.
Prohibition, the editorial points out, failed because it resulted in more crime, because whenever there is a demand for a product a black market will always form. Thus the Times-News seems to believe that some kind of attempt to limit the sale of assault weapons will increase both weapon sales and crime.
The editorial�s conclusion appears to be that we should hesitate to take any action while we make some kind of �rational risk assessment� and perform further study.
Not a very courageous stand, nor one that advances a solution to a very serious problem, one that we�ve been confronting for decades, if not longer. Will this logic be repeated after the next mass shooting?

Love and partnership
Your mood today is above average. You are very chatty, which makes you extremely popular and puts you in a position to be able to tell your partner exactly what they want to hear. Therefore, you should be very content. But especially in your love life you are demanding the impossible. You are expecting your darling to be submissive and strong, trusting and critical, tender loving and wild. You should take a step back and engage in some self-reflection, otherwise your relationship could become strained and suffer a serious blow.

Taxback.com and our partner True Experience Belo Horizonte joined forces again this year to raise 383kgs of food for a local children's nursery.
On August 29th more than 420 students attended a taxback.com and True Experience party to celebrate their time abroad. As an entry fee, all participants had to donate an item of non-perishable food. The 383kgs of food donated will go to Agostinho Cândido de Souza Nursery, which takes care of 90 children under 5-years-old in Belo Horizonte and relies entirely on donations to remain open.
Last year the same taxback.com and True Experience event raised 377kgs of food for the nursery.
Cristina Salles of True Experience says the exchange students' annual meeting was made even more special by supporting a worthy cause at the same time.
"Creche Agostinho Cândido de Souza provides a meaningful service to the community by taking care of children whose mothers need to work and have no-one to leave the children with," Salles says. "We are partners now and our help is much needed and appreciated."
Taxback.com's Marketing Development Manager in Belo Horizonte Alice Gomes says the event was a huge success.
"It was incredible to see how much the students donated and how enthusiastic they were about the cause," Gomes says. "Everyone came not just to meet together and have a great time but to help out the nursery. We can't wait to do it again next year!"
This year, taxback.com also provided a prize draw of 100 Reais for all entrants and the winner was Rodrigo Carvalho Cevidanes.

Since the Steelers play tonight and it's yet another freakin Sunday with no Steelers football in the afternoon here are some games to keep an eye on today that can and will affect the Steelers playoff positioning. The Bengals and Chiefs is the first game at 1. The Bengals are 4-5 and the Steelers currently still have a 2 game lead on them for a wildcard spot and own the head to head tiebraker. Hopefully the Chiefs being at home and being so close to getting a win last week here against the Steelers can pull a win off. The Steelers got a little bit of help on Thursday night when the Bills beat the Dolphins and sent them to their 3rd straight loss. Both of those teams if anybody is looking are now 4-6 so the Steelers are still pretty comfortable in their lead over them.
The other two games to keep an eye on are at 4 o clock with the Patriots and Colts and Broncos and Chargers. Now either way here whichever team loses these games the Steelers are going to get help. If both the Colts and Chargers lose it will continue to help the Steelers wildcard chances by putting them 2 or 3 more games up on San Diego and at least 1 game up on the Colts for the first wildcard spot. If both or one of the Broncos or Patriots loses and the Steelers win tonight it will help their chances in terms of getting that bye week in the playoffs since both teams are currently 6-3 and have the same record as the Steelers. I gotta say I am glad tonight is the last primetime night game for the Steelers and that 4 of the last 6 games after today start at 1 o clock with the other 2 starting at 4:25. But overall keep an eye on those 3 games today because they will end up affecting the Steelers the most in terms of the playoff picture.

News Release
Archive - New Contact Information
Friday, February 11, 2011, 12:00 p.m. EDT
(919) 541-5143
New research shows a link between use of two pesticides, rotenone and paraquat, and Parkinson's disease. People who used either pesticide developed Parkinson's disease approximately 2.5 times more often than non-users.
The study was a collaborative effort conducted by researchers at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), which is part of the National Institutes of Health, and the Parkinson's Institute and Clinical Center in Sunnyvale, Calif.
"Rotenone directly inhibits the function of the mitochondria, the structure responsible for making energy in the cell," said Freya Kamel, Ph.D., a researcher in the intramural program at NIEHS and co-author of the paper appearing online in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives. "Paraquat increases production of certain oxygen derivatives that may harm cellular structures. People who used these pesticides or others with a similar mechanism of action were more likely to develop Parkinson's disease."
The authors studied 110 people with Parkinson's disease and 358 matched controls from the Farming and Movement Evaluation (FAME) Study to investigate the relationship between Parkinson's disease and exposure to pesticides or other agents that are toxic to nervous tissue. FAME is a case-control study that is part of the larger Agricultural Health Study, a study of farming and health in approximately 90,000 licensed pesticide applicators and their spouses. The investigators diagnosed Parkinson's disease by agreement of movement disorder specialists and assessed the lifelong use of pesticides using detailed interviews.
There are no home garden or residential uses for either paraquat or rotenone currently registered. Paraquat use has long been restricted to certified applicators, largely due to concerns based on studies of animal models of Parkinson's disease. Use of rotenone as a pesticide to kill invasive fish species is currently the only allowable use of this pesticide.
"These findings help us to understand the biologic changes underlying Parkinson's disease. This may have important implications for the treatment and ultimately the prevention of Parkinson's disease," said Caroline Tanner, M.D., Ph.D., clinical research director of the Parkinson's Institute and Clinical Center, and lead author of the article.

Embattled Maine Gov. Paul LePage asked the people of the state for forgiveness on Tuesday, but said he has no intention of resigning despite the controversy swirling around some of his recent remarks.
LePage did say that he has apologized for leaving an obscene rant on state Rep. Drew Gattine's voicemail last week.
"To the Maine people, today, I am asking for forgiveness," he said in a statement. "Comments I have expressed recently are unacceptable and I apologize sincerely for using such disrespectful language as your Governor. Also, I would like to express an apology to the Gattine family. I understand how hurtful statements affect a family and regret that my words have adversely upset your lives. For this I am sorry."
U.S. & World
LePage said he met with Gattine privately on Wednesday morning "in an effort to bring closure for all those involved." The governor also said he and his family will be seeking "spiritual guidance" as they move forward in finding closure themselves.
Gattine confirmed Wednesday that LePage apologized to him, but said the governor continued repeating the same talking points about drugs and race.
LePage also met with a select group of reporters on Wednesday morning. Necn and several other news outlets were not allowed in.
According to necn affiliate WCSH-TV, he said during that session that he is not an alcoholic and does not have drug or mental health problems. He also said that he is not a very good politician, but he will continue to fight for the underdog.

Details released in Jersey's murder; Holly babysat Jersey before she died
Police release the cause of death report; said Holly cooperative with investigation
The Affidavit of Probable Cause in the case against Zachary Holly, the accused killer of Jersey Bridgeman, was filed and released Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 28.
The document released more details in the investigation and describes the events leading up to the arrest of Holly.
According to the document, 6-year old Jersey had been staying at the home of Amanda and Zachary Holly the night before she was found dead in a vacant house in Bentonville. The house where her body was found was located between where Jersey lived with her mother and home of Zachary Holly.
Jersey was reported missing by her mother, DesaRae Bridgeman shortly after 6:30 a.m. Nov. 20. According to the document, when officers arrived DesaRae Bridgeman told officers that Zachary and Amanda Holly had been babysitting both of her daughters on the night of Nov. 19. She told officers she returned from working at an E.Z. Mart at 11 p.m.
Bridgeman said she went to the Holly's home. She said Zachary carried Jersey home to bed, and DesaRae carried her other daughter. She told officers that both girls were placed sleeping in the same bed that night. Bridgeman said Jersey was not in bed the next morning and she reported it to the police.
According to the document, DesaRae Bridgeman, the Holly's and Bentonville police searched the Bridgeman home and the Holly's home. She said they saw a door open to the vacant house between the two homes.
Jersey was found dead inside a closet of the vacant home.
The documents state that Zachary Holly helped detectives search for Jersey's body.
According to the documents, detectives talked to Holly and he told him he had left his home to walk to the E.Z. Mart around 3:30 a.m. to get medicine for an upset stomach. Holly said he walked back home and went to bed.
Detectives obtained video from the E.Z. Mart. They said the video showed Holly in the store buying medicine. The arrest report said that Holly was cooperative during the investigation. Police said Holly provided DNA samples and the clothes he had been wearing the night Jersey died.
State Medical Examiners determined that Jersey's cause of death was asphyxia. Examiners said a preliminary test revealed a small amount of sperm cells on her body.
Several items of the Affidavit of Probable Cause have been redacted.
Zachary Holly is being held without bond in the Benton County jail. He faces charges of capital murder, rape, burglary and kidnapping.

2014 – digital transformation continued its relentless march
I'm now publishing tech analysis to my work blog for Orange Silicon Valley. My first post is "Looking back at the inescapable march of transformation in 2014" with a brief excerpt below:
In the past year, we saw some significant technology groundswells grow into formidable sea changes, revealing major shifts in market dynamics and human behavior. Each one has shown an exceptional ability to disrupt large and often-unsuspecting incumbents; each has created or reinforced platforms for further disruption; and all of them are interdependent and combinatorial. 2014 pulled back yet more veils – any rest we thought we were due after weathering the digital disruptions of computing, the Internet, and social networks is, alas, not to be found any time soon. We now face new challenges – and great opportunities – in an undeniably-mobile world with on-demand digital logistics and an irrevocable shift of power to the edges.

Limiting RPC dynamic port allocation range
I use a maximum of one Google Ad per post to help offset some of my blog hosting costs.
From time to time, you will need limit (or 'lock-down') the number of ports that are used for RPC – this might be to allow traffic through firewalls or for other reasons. In Windows Server 2008/Vista and later versions the default dynamic port range is 49152-65535. For Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 the default range is 1025-5000.
There is a Microsoft article – http://support.microsoft.com/kb/154596 – this outlines how to do this with some registry value changes, for example if I wanted to limit ports to between 8000-9000, then the following adjustments would be made, followed by a restart:
reg add HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftRpcInternet /v Ports /t REG_MULTI_SZ /f /d 8000-9000
reg add HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftRpcInternet /v PortsInternetAvailable /t REG_SZ /f /d Y
reg add HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftRpcInternet /v UseInternetPorts /t REG_SZ /f /d Y
After testing this on a Windows 2008 R2 Server and looking at Network Monitor traces, I found that the source port was still in the 49152-65535 range. After reading http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929851, I ran the following commands on both source and target servers, then restarted:
netsh int ipv4 set dynamicport tcp start=8000 num=1001
netsh int ipv4 set dynamicport udp start=8000 num=1001
netsh int ipv6 set dynamicport tcp start=8000 num=1001
netsh int ipv6 set dynamicport udp start=8000 num=1001
After looking at Network Monitor traces after making these final changes, I could then see that the RPC dynamic port allocation range (both source and destination ports) was locked down to the specified ports.
I use a maximum of one Google Ad per post to help offset some of my blog hosting costs.

Serious Fun at Barretstown
I'd like to tell you guys about a wonderful place I went to in October. Spoiler alert – it has absolutely nothing to do with running for a change! Months and months ago, I sent in an application to volunteer as a cara at Barretstown Castle in Co. Kildare. 'Cara' is Irish for 'friend' and Barretstown is a Spring/Summer/Autumn camp for children that have had cancer and serious blood diseases. It's part of the network of Hole in the Wall camps founded by the actor Paul Newman. So basically, the caras were a group of guys and girls that came in and worked alongside activity leaders who work there the whole year round, and run activities like arts and crafts, canoeing, archery, fishing and high ropes.
Fortunately I was accepted for a weekend camp beginning last October 12th at 9am. The camp itself is located on the grounds of a castle at Ballymore Eustace in Kildare, which is quite out of the way and so I was pretty late arriving; by the time I got there, the caras were leaving the breakfast hall and moving onto the theater for training. This weekend was a family camp where the children would arrive with their whole families and stay in a village of about 13 cottages. So our training began in the morning and went on until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when the families began to arrive. Until then, the caras spent the day practicing camp games, songs and of course, the Chi Chi Wa dance.
This was the only version I could find on YouTube; there were a bunch of other songs and dances we practiced by Glee, Olly Murs, Justin Bieber… basically the sort of stuff I listen to all the time anyway 😀 There were also a lot of games which involved introducing ourselves to each other in silly and creative ways, which in hindsight was great because by the time the families arrived, we all felt like we knew each other really well and could just jump into this experience straightaway. And it also did a total 180 on your mindset; there were more than a few awkward looks when we realized we'd be dancing around doing the chicken-legs with our tongues out; a few people were probably scanning the room for hidden cameras recording us making fools of ourselves! By the end of training, everybody was just relaxed and ready to make sure the kids were having fun and their families were enjoying themselves also. It was really a very short weekend for the families, lasting from about 4pm on Friday until 2pm on Sunday.
We spent that first evening getting to know our families through free flow activities such as balloon animals, arts & crafts and face-painting – each family was assigned enough caras so that there would always be two adults per child at all times. Dinner was a big event every evening; this was where all the dance-training was put to good use.
One of the funny things was that on the first night, only the kids would want to do the dancing before dinner; by the end the mums and dads would be up as well, getting into costumes and all sorts of craziness. It was a lot of fun.
On the Saturday morning, we had blocks of group games. Our group went into the drawing room in the actual castle and we did a bunch of silly games with the younger kids like putting a big red flag on a rope, getting everybody in a circle, and passing it around as quickly as we could until it was passed back to the first person. (In case you were wondering, our time was 19 seconds. A Barretstown record, or so we were told!) Later that morning was canoeing; where the activities leaders really came into their own, making up hilarious games to get the kids to put on their safety gear, playing tag in the canoes, throwing rubber ducks into the lake for them to collect – the biggest compliment I can pay the activity leaders is that our work, as caras, didn't feel like work at all. Everyone was just having a blast.
If you ask anyone who has been to Barretstown, they will probably tell you about the New Heights. Just look at this!
There is very little I can add to that; there's nothing quite as humbling, as satisfying or as wonderful as watching a kid, who has spent a long time hospitalized and in a lot of pain with a serious life-threatening condition – and now they're climbing a 40 foot tower, jumping through the air, grabbing a trapeze – and they're loving every second of it. Then it's their parents' turn to climb and their turn to do the cheering, which is equally fun. We lucked out as Saturday was gloriously sunny so we got a great two-hour session and every child and parent had the time to do whatever they wanted on the high ropes.
Also every evening after dinner, there would be an evening program in the theater; the first night was just a free-flow of fun activities – karaoke, face-painting, giant Connect4, getting some unfortunate activity-leader in the stocks and pelting wet sponges at them… The second night was something closer to a pantomime/scavenger hunt where one of the three little pigs had gone missing and we took the kids off in groups all over the castle looking for clues as to where the swine was hiding! I really don't feel like I could possibly do the place justice – Barretstown was quite simply the most fun I've ever had. There is an element of responsibility insofar as you are looking after a group of children who have been through a really tough time. But honestly, the full-time staff are so good at their jobs, and the children were having so much fun as well, that it really does not feel like work at all. Quick example, one of the girls in our family (all of nine years old) was speculating at dinner-time about how much easier it would be if spaghetti was a fruit that grew on trees. Her dad and I both responded immediately that of course there are spaghetti trees and they only grow at Barretstown! This became something of a running joke that the rest of the caras got in on; every time she'd say something like "There's no spaghetti trees really…. right?" we'd give a deadpan response "Oh yeah definitely, there are loads of them here." By the last day, our insistence was no longer enough, solid evidence was required. So just a few minutes before the last dinner, we threw together a totally convincing "baby spaghetti tree".
To get serious for just a second, I would really recommend to anyone reading that you get involved with Barretstown or one of the other Hole in the Wall camps in some way. The therapeutic recreation program is widely endorsed by medical professionals as having great benefits in rebuilding the confidence and self-esteem of children who've suffered with cancer and serious blood diseases, aiding their recovery and helping them acquire new skills. If you have children who would be eligible to take part, or know a family who could attend these camps, please check out the Parents & Families section of the Barretstown website for more information. Barretstown put on almost twenty camps throughout the whole year, and because Barretstown cover the costs of travel, accommodation, food, medical care and activities for all the families and children, their annual costings come to about €4.5 million. If you can help out with fundraising in any way, please go to the How You Can Help section of the website. Finally, if you're considering volunteering your time as a cara, stop considering it and just do it! I only wish I'd kept a journal or at least written this post as soon as I got home because I've left out so much. It is quite simply the most fun and rewarding time you'll ever have; I can promise you won't regret it.
Hi Oliver,
We love the blog and your Barretstown entry! Would you mind if we placed this post on our own blog as we are looking to get more male volunteers here in Barretstown?November 22, 2012

Green or eco-friendly crafts for children using recycled or upcycled (repurposing a waste material into a product of higher quality materials) are plentiful this holiday season. In addition to being better for the environment, crafting from items found around the house has the added benefit of being economical.
No Time for Flashcards is one of my favorite blogs for finding activities to do with young children. No all posts are green, but three posts that do fit that category include recycled Christmas tree using paper from an old catalog, A "Bow"tiful Christmas tree made out of a grocery bag and misshapen present bows, and a Bell Christmas ornament made from an Easter egg. All three are great crafts for toddlers and preschoolers. My kids, ages 3 and 5, and I made some of the recycled Christmas trees using magazine pages earlier this week.

For little ones who like to paint, why not try painting holiday cards or making your own wrapping paper using paints made from berries and beets! The Green Art Project has a tutorial for making your own natural paints using fruits and vegetables you may already have in the house.
Over at This and That, there's another idea for making your own gift wrap. Money Saving Mom also suggests having the kids help make homemade wrapping paper.
Here's a beautiful and easy craft from Maya*Made to hang on the tree – a "snow"-covered pinecone ornament.

There are a lot of fun ornaments that can be made with a burnt-out incandescent light bulb. It's upcycling at it's finest! There's a snowman face ornament, Rudolph the recycled light bulb, the light bulb penguin, and there are some more cute ideas over at Keep'n the SunnySide. You could also keep it simple and let your child paint and glue whatever they want on the light bulb.

Summer at Wired for Noise suggests embroidering pictures on old pillow cases and had fun teaching her son the handicraft.
Another craft idea that we've tried in our house is transforming old, broken crayons into new crayons. The Red, White and Green says you don't need to spend $30 on a Crayola Crayon Maker (made of nearly four pounds of plastic) to do it either. If you want to make holiday-themed crayons, you just need some holiday candy molds. Zakka Life has a tutorial on how to recycle old crayons into new crayons using candy molds. You can also just use muffin tins for round crayons. Raising Maine also suggests making the recycled crayons into ornaments.

Older children may enjoy stringing popcorn or cranberries on wire or thread as garland to be hung on the Christmas tree. When the tree is taken down, the edible garland can be strung outside for the birds or put into your compost bin.
Another fun idea for a craft and/or gift for older children from Little Birdie Secrets is felted soap. "You cover a bar of soap with this fabulous wool fiber, then felt it, and you have a soap and washcloth in one!"
Photo credit: Little Birdie Secrets
Celebrate Green Blog recently came across some eco-friendly holiday crafts from Family Fun magazine using upcycled materials, including retro ornaments made from toilet paper rolls, Christmas carolers made from toilet paper rolls, holey socks and old sheet music, and a Flame-free menorah.
Photo credit: Family Fun
Lastly, there are some creative recycled craft ideas over at Monkey See Monkey Do including a milk carton nativity or Christmas village and a mop-head Santa, as well as coat hanger snowmen and reindeer and a trash bag wreath.
Looking for more green craft ideas? Check out Books make great gifts for green crafters over at Crafting a Green World. She suggests Green Crafts for Children: 35 Step-by-Step Projects Using Natural, Recycled, And Found Materials by Emma Hardy especially for green mamas and their green girls.
Have more eco-friendly holiday craft ideas for kids? Please share them in the comments.

The Durian Cup Race #2: Get Oriented!
The Durian Cup race mountain bike series continued with more offroad excitement in Victoria with last Thursday's '(July 2nd) Get Oriented!' orienteering-style race. A total of 22 riders were given maps with marked points, and they had to ride to each mandatory point in their category, as well as any bonus points they chose to, and use the color crayon at the points to mark their sheet. The more points hit, the more points received, although every minute late resulted in a drastic loss of points, so racers had to keep an eye on their watches as well, to ensure they made it back in time. Also, there was an artistic element included where bonus points were awarded for drawing a butterfly in the space provided. Check out the photos to see what people came up with in their haste!
The C field opened up with four competitors, and the top finishers were Danielle Stevens(Ind) in 1st, folllowed by Katie Rabien(Oak Bay Bikes) and Daegan Reimer(Ind). For the C Series title, Leon Tulevski(Ind) remains on top (although didn't compete this week), and Danielle and Katie fill out the top three.
The B's had 6 riders competing, and five returning from last week to defend their positions. The returning Emily Pridham(Dirty Girlz) took top honors, followed by new-comer Ian Lindseth(Ind). Eric Simonson(Ind) returned to collect 3rd and more series points as well. Emily is sitting safely in first for the series with 2pts, our sole Junior rider (at 13yrs old!) Logan Simonson(Ind) is holding onto 2nd place with 10pts, and his father Eric trails by 2pts in 3rd. We also had two disqualified riders for returning late and giving organizers a scare!
For the A's, we saw a whopping 10 riders out to challenge each other! Jeff Clarkson(Schwalbe), despite a flat, was the only rider to visit all 12 stations, and safely collected 1st place points, despite a butterfly that more closely resembled a black heart! Roger Macleod(Ind), another new-comer to the series hit enough stations to collect 2nd, and Dave Shishkoff(OrganicAthlete) rounded out the top three, taking this opportunity to compete in the series and represent the organizing club. In the overall A Series, Kate Scallion(Ind) who finished 4th on the night and drew the best-rated butterfly, has a commanding lead of the series with 5pts. Kat Wright(Ind) is holding ground in 2nd place with 9pts, and Halldor Gunnarsson(Riders Cycles) is doubtless making Kat nervous with 11pts.
In our other recognized sub-series, Kate is unsurprisingly our Top Woman, Halldor retains Top Master, Logan remains our Top Junior, and Dave is now the Top Vegan!

Peter (left) and Steven Lowy: Weaker local conditions will be offset by the US and Britain.THE world's biggest shopping centre owner by assets under management, Westfield, has put into numbers what its tenants and consumers already knew – sales are slipping across the country.
To stem the decline, the retail juggernaut has admitted it is dropping rents for new leases. In a rare admission, the group said reductions of up to 5 per cent were being negotiated.
But reductions were unlikely in the newer centres such as Westfield Sydney, where specialty rents on long leases remain at an average $15,660 per square metre.
Joint chief executive Steven Lowy told an investor briefing on Wednesday that while lease renewal rates were flat, the slowing economy, lower inflation and the continued rise in household savings rates had led to subdued market conditions.
"In Australia, while retail conditions have been subdued for most of the year, the business responded well and in January specialty retail sales were up about 4 per cent," Mr Lowy said.
"But this year lease renewals are basically flat and new leases were about 4 per cent to 5 per cent below leases at the previous expiries."
In its full-year result, the group reported sales for its Australia and New Zealand malls were up 2.9 per cent on a comparable store basis. The forecast for 2013 was growth of 1.5 to 2 per cent, which was at the lower end of analyst expectations.
Weaker southern hemisphere business will be offset by improvement in US and British operations, as well as up to $550 million in developments earmarked for 2o13.
For the year to December 31, Westfield reported an 18.3 per cent rise in net profit to $1.72 billion.
The spinoff Westfield Retail Trust, which has a 50 per cent stake in the Australian and NZ shopping centres, reported a net profit of $830.8 million, slightly down on the $849.1 million a year earlier due to a fall in some property valuations.
Westfield Group will pay 49.5¢ in distributions per security, and expects that to rise to 51¢ in 2013. Investors in the Westfield Retail Trust will receive 18.75¢ per stapled security, rising to 19.85 in 2013.
Despite the cautious outlook, Westfield issued an earnings guidance growth of 3 per cent, equal to about 66.5¢ on a funds from operations calculation.
Mr Lowy said the redevelopment works at Miranda and Mount Gravatt in Australia, the opening of Westfield Stratford City in London last year, and Century City and Valley Fair in California, would underpin future earnings.
Co-chief executive Peter Lowy said the company expected 60 per cent of its income to come from the US and Britain in about four years, from about 55 per cent now, boosted by joint ventures in Milan and Brazil.
Analysts said the overall profit result was in line with expectations, but the outlook for the Australia/NZ portfolio continued to deteriorate, while the US portfolio was expected to deliver stronger net operating income growth in 2013 and beyond.
Simon Wheatley, head of real estate research at Goldman Sachs, said: "We believe investors may be disappointed by another year of low funds from operations (FFO) growth."

Oct. 12 Joe Girardi postgame interview
Q. Can you explain to me the difference, please, between pulling CC in his first start with one out left and letting him pitch the whole game here?
JOE GIRARDI: Wieters was probably going to be his last hitter. Possibly I might have let him go a little bit more, but he was right around the 120 mark both times. And, you know, he had to have a pretty quick inning in the last ninth inning, but he did an unbelievable job. And he was pitching so well that I wasn't going to pull him.
Q. Aside from how well he was pitching and the numbers he pitched and all that, was there something else in your head that said he pitches the big game?
JOE GIRARDI: He is our ace. That's the bottom line. He has been there, he has done that.
Q. He was the ace in the first game, too.
JOE GIRARDI: Yes, he was. And we have so much belief in CC. You think of what he has done since he got here. It's been an unbelievable run for him. And he went through his ups and downs because of some injuries this year, but he's gotten it right again and it's vintage CC.
Q. How quickly did you come to pulling him at any point in the eighth inning with Robertson warming up?
JOE GIRARDI: If Hardy gets a hit there, I am thinking of pulling him there. He had done a good job on Jones, but I just wanted to make sure that the inning didn't get away. But I had Robby up for Hardy, and that is the first guy I might have brought him in for, not before that. CC was going and it was his game.
Q. Joe, we asked CC the final week of season whether there was a chance you might be in the Wildcard game, when he would be ready after he pitched, and he said, "tomorrow." And people cracked a smile and he didn't. Is that part of the mentality that he has, that allows you to let him go out there for the ninth?
JOE GIRARDI: He wants the ball and he is very strong. You know, I talk about CC as being one of those big, strong pitchers that usually gets better as the game goes on. I mean, that's who he is. And you think about the eighth inning and that's where we saw the highest velocity all night from him, and he has a way of being able to step it up when he gets into a jam, too.
Q. Joe, when you use the term like "it's his game," you're essentially put your whole season in his hands to get through that. Why are you comfortable and confident with that? And have you even thought about him in Game 3 yet for the next one?
JOE GIRARDI: No, we actually have to talk about that tonight, which is hard to believe, not having a day off tomorrow. But it's his game because he is our ace. Our bullpen has been worked a lot in this series, too. But I have a ton of confidence in CC. Even when he was going through some of his struggles, I knew he would get it right, and that's what he has done.
Q. Joe, going into this game with all of the questions about Alex and the struggles of the lineup and who you are going to bench, who you are not going to bench, just knowing as manager if you feel under siege a little bit knowing you are handing CC the ball, what does that feel like?
JOE GIRARDI: I felt good about him going out there today. I knew Hammel would be tough on us. He has been tough on us the whole year. We talked about find a way to scratch a few runs across the board. So I felt really good about sending him out there. He is the guy I wanted to send out there.
Q. Joe, is it Pettitte, Kuroda the first two?
JOE GIRARDI: We have to decide. We have got to meet. The year of two wildcards, but there are a lot of things that are a first ‑ no days off between series and having to decide what you are going to do. We'll sit down and talk tonight actually. It will be Pettitte tomorrow. That's all I have got for you.
Q. Facing the Tigers and facing the guy who won the Triple Crown, how do you feel about that?
JOE GIRARDI: They have been a good club, and we know we have our work cut out for us.
Q. What would be your options though in Game 2 in terms of guys who are available?
JOE GIRARDI: I'll let you know tomorrow.
Q. Joe, what is it that you saw in Granderson that allowed you to show such faith in him today?
JOE GIRARDI: You know, a lot of his struggles were off of lefties, and he had some pretty good at‑bats off Hammel over at their place and during the course of their season. So I just felt like, you know, I am going to leave him in there. And obviously he came through today. That third run is a huge run for us and off a lefty. For Curtis, the big thing is when he swings at strikes, he is extremely dangerous. I mean, that's the bottom line.
Q. Joe, regarding A‑Rod, did you consider having him pinch‑hit there against a lefty in the seventh?
JOE GIRARDI: Who was up, Raul?
Q. Chavez.
JOE GIRARDI: They would have brought the righty in at that point, so I feel like in a sense you don't want to waste your bullets in a sense, and I thought I've going to leave it.
Q. The Tigers have no lefty starters, do you anticipate staying this way?
JOE GIRARDI: You know, I usually say I am going to worry about one day at a time. I am going to worry about tonight. And I'll have a lineup for you tomorrow.
Q. How does it feel now that you've finally taken care of the Orioles?
JOE GIRARDI: You know, they are a very good club and they are a very resilient club. You have a bunch of young kids over there that just play the game the right way and play hard. And you think about it, we played 23 games, and there were four runs that separated us. It's an accomplishment for both clubs because they never went away. People thought they were going to go away, they never went away. And I am very proud of our club for staying in.
Q. Joe, what were you thinking when Tex took off for second like that?
JOE GIRARDI: They weren't holding him on and we talked about it the other way. If you think you can get it, go ahead, go get it. And that's the bottom line. I didn't have a problem. He picked the right pitch. He picked a curveball. If it is a fastball, he is probably out. But he picked the right pitch. And you talk about trusting your players and their instincts, and he trusted them and he was right.
Q. Joe, with the decisions you had to make with Alex and these games, fraught with tension, are they emotionally draining to manage through or is it just the job you have at this point?
JOE GIRARDI: It is the job I have. You know, when it seems like when you manage the New York Yankees, every playoff series is a playoff series, during the course of the season sometimes, too. It is the job I have. I said all along I love my job.

Shuttle Service
Find out the new special check-in and boarding conditions for the Air Shuttle from Barajas T4.
The Air Shuttle is located in a dedicated area to reduce check-in and boarding times to a minimum. You can check in up to 15 minutes before the departure of your flight.
The new Iberia and Vueling combined offer between Madrid and Barcelona comprises 26 flights per day in both directions, with departures every 15 or 30 minutes at peak times and every hour or half and hour the rest of the day, from 6:30 to 21:45.
You can book any flight you want, combining an open ticket with a closed ticket if you want to guarantee a place on the flight of your choice and you know the exact date and time when you want to travel. These new closed tickets have all the flexibility of open tickets, which means that you can change them as many times as you want, completely free of charge.
These changes can be made through the website as well as the Iberia app. This has been improved to include the new Air Shuttle services, so you can now purchase tickets, open or closed, change your booking as many times as you need to, and download your boarding pass with a simple click to your PC or smartphone.
The policy for earning Avios on Air Shuttle flights is the same as the existing one for Iberia and Vueling. Reward tickets, i.e. purchased with Avios, may only be used for flights operated by Iberia, not by Vueling (IB5XXX).
To take the Air Shuttle, go to Terminal 4, Level 2 (Check-in). If you haven't downloaded your boarding pass or you need to check in a bag, proceed to the special Air Shuttle desks located on this same level, in the central section with fast access from the car park. Since these are dedicated check-in desks, baggage is handled separately.
If you already have your boarding pass, go straight to the adjacent dedicated security control, next to the Dalí VIP Lounge. The boarding gates are located on Level 1, a few minutes' walk from the check-in hall: J50, J51, J52, J54, J56 ,J58, K62 and K68 (*)
(*) Gate numbers may change. Always check the information screens to find out which gate has been assigned to your flight. Remember, some flights may operate out of the Satellite Terminal (T4S).

Well, subject says it all I think! I really like girls that are a bit quirky or geeky (or both!). I consider myself to be quirky and a bit geeky too so I'd love to hear from you (don't mind whereabouts in the world you are) - please don't be shy! :-)
I'm finding it a bit hard to find women like that on here... but you must be somewhere (this is the Internet after all!).
Who knows - maybe we could do something geeky together some day... like argue over which Star Trek movie is best (First Contact!!)! ;-) lol

Oh no, you didn't say first contact. *sigh* my man you have to rethink your likes and dislikes.
Us geeky ones are out there and I will say this, we often have to hide our geekiness.
As far as for the best Star Trek, by far the new Star Trek movie. AMAZING!

Earth Observation Satellites

NOAA POES (Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites)
Synonymous Platform Names:

View all 17 records related to this platform
NOAA-1 (ITOS-1) was launched in December 1970 and the primary
objective of the sun-synchronous meteorological satellite was to
provide improved operational infrared and visual observations of earth
cloud cover for use in weather analysis and forecasting. Secondary
objectives included providing solar proton and global heat balance
data on a regular daily basis. The nearly cubical spacecraft measured
1 by 1 by 1.2 m. The TV cameras and infrared sensors were mounted on
the satellite baseplate with their optical axes directed vertically
earthward. The spacecraft was equipped with three curved solar panels
that were folded during launch and deployed after orbit was
achieved. Each panel measured over 4.2 m in length when unfolded and
was covered with 3420 solar cells, each measuring 2 by 2 cm. The
attitude control system maintained desired spacecraft orientation
through gyroscopic principles incorporated into the satellite
design. Earth orientation of the satellite body was maintained by
taking advantage of the precession induced from a momentum flywheel so
that the satellite body precession rate of one revolution per orbit
provided the desired 'earth looking' attitude. Minor adjustments in
attitude and orientation were made by means of magnetic coils and by
varying the speed of the momentum flywheel.
This spacecraft carried four cameras; two television cameras for
Automatic Picture Transmission (APT), and two Advanced Vidicon Camera
System (AVCS) cameras. The satellite also carried a low-resolution
flat plate radiometer, a solar proton monitor, and two scanning
radiometers that not only measured emitted IR radiation but also
served as a backup system for the onboard cameras. Launched into a
near-polar orbit, the spacecraft and its subsystems performed normally
until May 29, 1971 when the incremental tape recorder failed,
resulting in partial loss of solar proton data and total loss of flat
plate radiometer data. The APT and Direct Readout Infrared (DRIR)
subsystems were turned off on June 20, 1971 in an attempt to reduce
the above normal temperature due to overheating in the attitude
control system. The AVCS was turned off shortly thereafter, and the
scanning radiometer continued partial operations until the spacecraft
was deactivated on August 19, 1971.
