TAUNTON — Taunton Catholic schools unveiled a plan to move Taunton Catholic Middle School into the Coyle and Cassidy High School on Monday, after decreased enrollment and related financial struggles caused stakeholders to examine the future of Catholic education in the city.
Administrators and a joint study committee, formed last fall to explore resources among the city's Catholic schools, announced the recommendation in front of about 100 parents gathered at a meeting held Monday night at the high school. They said the school consolidation will help control tuition costs for Catholic education in the city.
Under the plan, the Coyle and Cassidy High School building would absorb the middle schools' sixth, seventh and eighth grades, while parents of fifth grade students would be asked to seek schooling at one of the city's two parish-based schools.
Michael S. Griffin, superintendent of schools for the Fall River Diocese, said that lower enrollment in recent years and debt incurred by Taunton Catholic Middle School were factors that were considered.
"There are certain practical realities related to Taunton Catholic Middle," Griffin said. "At any school, lower enrollments have a very serious impact on finances. Following periods of debt, it can't last long. Schools end up in financial difficulty. Ultimately, that's the reason schools close, exactly because of that financial crunch."
Griffin revealed that the enrollment at Taunton Catholic Middle School has dropped by 90 students within the last nine years, down by 33 percent. Nine years ago, he said, the city's Catholic middle school had 286 students while today there are 196 students attending classes there.
Griffin said the downward enrollment pattern has been similar at all four of Taunton's Catholic schools, which also include two parish-based elementary schools, St. Mary's and Our Lady of Lourdes. (Coyle and Cassidy and TCMS are diocesan schools.)
Griffin said that these are issues faced by private schools around the country, but that one trend in response has been to unite the middle and high schools. In fact, Griffin said, it is worth noting that, with 40 private middle schools in the state, TCMS is the only one that is not connected with a high school, with the exception of four specialty schools funded by wealthy donors.
Mary Pat Tranter, president of Coyle and Cassidy, said that the recommended plan is not yet final and must still be approved by Bishop George Coleman and the diocese's education office. Tranter said the committee chose the option that they believe is the most viable. Tranter said the next step is for the committee to make a recommendation to the Fall River Diocese education office.
The recommended plan could be implemented as early as next September, Tranter said.
Tranter said the alternative would be that tuition at Taunton Catholic Middle School will increase "significantly."
As for the current TCMS building on Summer Street, the future of the building is unknown as the diocese makes this decision, Tranter said. "Certainly we would incorporate that (building) into any plan moving further," Tranter said.
The goal, Tranter said, is to increase the accessibility of Catholic education in the Taunton area. Tranter said that it is "tragic" when high tuition costs dissuade local families from investing in a Catholic education that they want.
"We have always believed a Catholic education should be available to all," said Tranter, who recounted the story of Monsignor James Coyle and the poor Irish who "put pennies together" to build St. Mary's Elementary School.
Tranter spoke about the history of the schools and the changes they have been through, noting that the current high school was formed as the city's Catholic school for girls in 1963, while the boys' high school was established 30 years prior to that at the current TCMS building. Tranter talked about various factors that have affected finances at the school historically, including the loss of vocations associated with Second Vatican Council and the cheap labor they provided the schools.
Despite all of that, Griffin said, Coyle and Cassidy has been operating "in the black" for many years, and in recent years has completed capital improvements, including the new science lab that was dedicated during a ceremony held on Tuesday morning. Griffin attributes that partially to "good donor support."
After presentations made by school officials and the study committee, parents were asked for input, drawing concerns about how the two schools would co-exist in one building.
"The way that this building is designed, we can separate the children in this building without segregating them or isolating them, so that they are part of a larger community, but they have their own space and they are separated and they can do what is grade appropriate," Tranter said.
Tranter said the area of the high school that is being eyed for the middle school space is in the north end of the building on the main floor, with the theater entrance or a back door entrance as potential exclusive entrances for the middle school students. Tranter added that this section of the building features classrooms that were built in 1997.
Tranter said that there would be staggered school bells so that middle schoolers aren't mingling with high schoolers between classes. Under this plan, the middle schoolers would also eat lunch at separate times from their older counterparts.
In addition to questions about assimilation, Tranter also responded to concerns about tuition and the integration of academic and athletic programs. Tranter said that the availability of shared resources between the schools will result in more "bang for your buck," bringing up the new science lab, along with other technology and the school's athletic facilities. Tranter also said there would be a more seamless cohesion between the middle school and high school curricula.
Tranter said that tuition would remain relatively the same for the middle school students, and that families should "expect normal tuition increases but nothing more." Tranter said there would be a two-tier tuition structure, keeping the middle school costs "commensurate to what we have now."
Taunton Catholic Middle School Principal Corinne Merit told the audience of Catholic school families that she has always kept the students foremost in her thoughts throughout this planning process.
"Knowing the special culture and academic experiences we already offer at TCMS, I can assure you these opportunities will continue to grow and blossom no matter what facility we house," Merti said.

This weekend, Captain America: The Winter Soldier will be the second starring vehicle for the star-spangled Avenger following 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger. Of course, that doesn't leave room for the early 90's film adaptation, a dubious low-budget affair where Cap had prosthetic ears and the Red Skull was Italian. Somehow, people still wanted a movie of that: in fact, superheroes tend to get multiple opportunities onscreen to show us the goods. It's rare that a comic book adaptation doesn't get a second chance to wow us.
But sometimes, it happens. Sometimes a character with decades of history simply gets left behind after one big-screen adventure. Usually it's because the movie is something like Steel or The Spirit, a joke that no one really gets. But sometimes, a direct continuation is the carrot dangled in front of fans, the one they could never grab, because no one saw the first movie, or because the creative people in charge never saw the potential in future installments. Here are five superheroes that we'd love to see hit the screen once more and five superhero sequels we'd love to see.
DREDD 2Legacy: In the early nineties, Sylvester Stallone threw his weight around to turn Judge Dredd into a generic star vehicle for himself, neglecting the source material's dark humor and ultraviolence.
The Movie: All memories of Stallone's version were blown out of the water by Pete Travis and Alex Garland's claustrophobic actioner. This smaller story of the fiercest cop in Mega City One allowed a clearer focus on Karl Urban's sneering Judge Dredd, a killing machine who only sought efficiency in his goal of a crime-free city. Ultimately, it somehow made even less money than the Stallone version, despite more than a decade of inflation and 3D prices.
The Sequel: Urban and company have openly discussed a sequel, as the movie has a small but devoted cult. However, it appears the follow-up will be adapted into a standalone comic, a pity considering this world was developed by screenwriter Garland with a trilogy in mind. A straight sequel could pursue the corruption amongst Judges suggested in the earlier film, while keeping the emphasis on hard-R-rated violence and Urban's iron jaw.

Simmons sets wedding date
The Kiss frontman has lived with the model since 1985 and they are parents to 22-year-old son Nicholas and 18-year-old daughter Sophie.
Simmons' proposal was played out on reality TV show Gene Simmons Family Jewels, and now the pair has just weeks to plan its nuptials after announcing the wedding will take place in Los Angeles on 1 October (11).
Their wedding invite states, "Sophie Alexandra Tweed-Simmons and Nicholas Adam Tweed-Simmons cordially invite you to the wedding of Shannon Tweed and Gene Simmons."
And a note from the pair's children poking fun at the couple's tumultuous relationship was also included with the invitation.
It reads, "After 28 years of loose strings, our parents have finally decided to tie the knot. Our mother will share our horrendous hyphenate of a last name and our father's life... well, it doesn't change that much. But we will be united as a family in spirit and in title forever."

EV Education 101 Films Fifth-Wheel Video
January 3, 2011 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on EV Education 101 Films Fifth-Wheel Video
RV Education 101, a video and RV information company recently released a new RV instructional DVD titled, "Tow your 5th Wheel Trailer Like a Pro."
In this video hosts Mark Polk (RV Education 101) and Lorrin Walsh (professional driver and author of "Drive Your Motorhome Like a Pro") provide the tools to help the RV consumer tow their fifth-wheel like a professional driver, according to a news release. That means professionalism developed by the ongoing awareness of safe and proper towing techniques, and the execution of unique driving techniques needed to become a safer and a more confident driver.
Polk, owner and video producer, stated, "Towing a fifth-wheel trailer, especially for the first time, can be very intimidating. The truth is with the proper training almost any experienced driver can adapt to towing and backing a fifth-wheel trailer. There are lots of folks who have been towing trailers for lots of years without having a real understanding of the dynamics and proper driving and towing techniques."
"Tow your 5th Wheel Trailer Like a Pro" is the first and only complete video guide to professional driving and towing techniques available for both beginning and seasoned RVer, Polk said.
Polk goes on to say, "Of the 17 RV instructional DVDs we offer, this is one of the best to help educate the RV consumer on such an important topic. A professional training course like this can cost upward of several hundred dollars, if not more. We offer this comprehensive training DVD for only $24.95. This is an absolute must-see DVD for anybody considering purchasing and towing a fifth-wheel trailer."
This 98-minute DVD is packed with charts and hands-on instruction covering topics like: selecting a tow vehicle, fifth-wheel hitches, hitching and unhitching, pre-trip inspections, setting the mirrors, steering, reference points, towing techniques, backing, braking and much more.
Dawn Polk, co-owner, added, "We don't want fifth-wheel owners to be overwhelmed with their new RV lifestyle. Our goal with all of our products is to teach the RV consumer all that we can to help make their RV experiences everything it should be, safe, fun and stress free. RV owners can review our RV training videos as many times as they want or need."

off the wall
The phrase off the wall, meaning wild, crazy, or eccentric is first unambiguously attested to in F.L. Brown's 1959 Trumbull Park:
We all said thanks in our own off-the-wall ways.
Not that off-the-wall holyroller kind of clapping.
There is an earlier use from 1953 in the title of a blues tune by Marion "Little Walter" Jacobs. But as this tune is instrumental with no lyrics, the sense of the title is ambiguous. It may be intended in the sense of odd, or it may literally mean something taken down from a wall.
The originating metaphor is unknown, but it likely refers to some sport, a racquet-sport like squash, or perhaps baseball, where a ball may literally be played off the wall, often with wild and unpredictable bounces.

Davis, Gennett cook up some fun at Fan Cave
NEW YORK -- Khris Davis and Scooter Gennett will never forget their last stop of their first Major League Baseball season. The rookies arrived Wednesday in the fashion capital that is New York for this final series against the Mets dressed as Rainbow Brite and a diaper baby, respectively.
"It was pretty cold," Davis said, "because I had a short dress and my arms were showing all-out. It was pretty cold on the plane. When we got to New York, it was freezing. We got to walk around a little bit and just enjoy it."View Full Game Coverage
NEW YORK -- Khris Davis and Scooter Gennett will never forget their last stop of their first Major League Baseball season. The rookies arrived Wednesday in the fashion capital that is New York for this final series against the Mets dressed as Rainbow Brite and a diaper baby, respectively.
"It was pretty cold," Davis said, "because I had a short dress and my arms were showing all-out. It was pretty cold on the plane. When we got to New York, it was freezing. We got to walk around a little bit and just enjoy it."View Full Game Coverage
"I don't know why Khris is saying he was cold," Gennett countered. "I was in a diaper and he was in a dress. But yeah, it was cold. Other than the cold, I had a good time. It's always a good time, always fun when the team can kind of get together and have a few laughs. It's also paying our dues. Hopefully next year we'll be in better outfits."
It got even better on Friday, when the pair started the final weekend of the season by hosting a "BrewerFest" sausage cookout for fans on the street at the MLB Fan Cave in Greenwich Village. Curious pedestrians walked up to eat and asked who the guys were wearing Brewers jerseys and aprons. Polka music blasted onto Broadway, and the pair led a loud rendition of fans in "Roll Out The Barrel."
"It's pretty special, just coming out and doing something for them," Davis said. "That's what it's all about. We enjoy them as much as they enjoy us."
"That was a great time," Gennett said. "Tailgating in New York is probably something I'll always remember. Seeing the fans interact is always a special thing, this was a good time to do it."
The Fan Cave is a place where Major League Baseball likes to showcase young players the public needs to know more about, and this was a great example. These are two players who have seized opportunities brought about by adverse circumstances, Davis replacing the suspended Ryan Braun in left and Gennett taking over second after Rickie Weeks' injury.
Since Aug. 5, Gennett is batting .364 (55-for-151), which leads the National League during this stretch. He has a legitimate shot at opening next season at second.
Davis is batting .287 (33-115) with 10 homers and 25 RBIs in just 40 games since rejoining the team on July 23 after Braun was suspended. He has a combined 23 homers this season at the parent and Triple-A levels. The club likes him so much, there is speculation of shifting Braun across the outfield next spring and keeping Davis in left.
"I'd like to hit 30 homers, get to that point and see where it goes," Davis said of his hopes for next season.
Davis signed a baseball on the autograph wall inside, and naturally, he chose the ball right next to one signed in April by "Chris with a C" Davis of Baltimore, as Gennett poked fun at him. Gennett played ping-pong with Brewers fans. Both went down the slide, and then they made the "BrewersFest" video that will be released in coming days at MLBFanCave.com.
These are the final days of a first MLB season for both, and when asked what they have learned most so far from being in the big leagues, both said that keeping the fun in it -- as they did before Friday's Mets game -- is going to be a priority.
"What I've learned is, a lot of guys tell me: 'Don't forget to have fun and don't take it too seriously,'" Davis said. "It's still the same game I played from T-ball to now. You just have to go out there and have fun."
"Once I had the opportunity to get called up earlier in the year and then got sent back down, I think that was a good learning experience for me," Gennett said. "Just getting my feet wet a little bit in the big leagues was the biggest thing. Getting the opportunity to come back and improve on more of an everyday basis of what I can do. I had a good time.
Then Gennett said: "Like Khris said, having fun never stops. I think some people lose sight of that, and usually that's when you're out of the game, when you're not having fun anymore. So really learning what not to do, what to do, and just having fun."
Davis and Gennett have more in common than their rookie status in the Brewers' lineup. They are each the sons of Major League scouts. Davis' father, Rodney, is a Dodgers scout and previous scouted for the D-backs. Gennett's father, Joe, use to scout for the Astros.
"It was pretty special, because growing up, my dad would let me skip school and go to the ballpark or watch a baseball game," Davis said. "I always thought that was cool. Just being around the game and being around players helped a lot with my father being a scout."
"My dad was a scout for a year or two, but he stopped around when I was born to be there for me," Gennett said. "Just the experience of things he learned throughout scouting. The big thing for me was getting down to Florida, being able to play every day and getting better. He realized that. He had the Ohio area for scouting. He realized how tough it was for his players to keep playing and get better. He didn't want that to happen to me, and I think that was instrumental in me being able to play every day."

"I love this city, and I see it going to Hell."
Those are the first words uttered by Ben McKenzie as Jim Gordon, the tireless Gotham City Police detective at the center of Fox's upcoming TV series "Gotham," in a new teaser for the show.
The clip debuted Monday during the first episode of the network's thriller "24: Live Another Day."
Based on the origins of the Caped Crusader's longtime ally and friend, Commissioner James Gordon, the Batman prequel series is helmed by writer and executive producer Bruno Heller, the creative mind behind "The Mentalist" and "Rome," and stars McKenzie, known for roles in "Southland" and "The O.C."
Other key characters from "Batman" lore are also set to appear on the new show, including Selina Kyle, the unpredictable street thief and pickpocket who eventually becomes Catwoman (Camren Bicondova); tough ex-marine and Wayne Manor butler Alfred Pennyworth (Sean Pertwee); Oswald Cobblepot, an orphaned outcast who eventually becomes the gentleman villain the Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor); and Gordon's partner and mentor Det. Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue).
The announced cast also includes David Mazouz as a preteen Bruce Wayne, the orphan who eventually becomes Batman; Jada Pinkett Smith as original character Fish Mooney, a sadistic gangster boss and nightclub owner; Zabryna Guevara ("Burn Notice," "3 lbs.") as Capt. Essen, Gordon's boss at the Gotham City Police Department homicide squad; and Erin Richards as Gordon's fiancée Barbara Kean, an emergency room doctor.
Danny Cannon ("Nikita") will direct and executive produce the pilot.

Citing his concern about Republicans' "ill-advised" treatment of public education, school board member Rick Wood announced Monday he will run for the Democratic nomination to challenge state Sen. Tom Apodaca for his 48th District seat.
Citing his concern about Republicans' "ill-advised" treatment of public education, Henderson County school board member Rick Wood announced Monday he will run for the Democratic nomination to challenge state Sen. Tom Apodaca for his 48th District seat.
The retired high school history teacher and basketball coach has filed an organizational report with the State Board of Elections, naming Laurel Park Mayor Pro Tem Richard Cooke as his campaign's treasurer and former Hendersonville High coach Paul Goebel as its chair.
Wood said he started mulling over a run for office after attending an August rally for public education outside Apodaca's Hendersonville office, during which roughly 160 protesters decried state cuts made to teaching assistants, textbooks, classroom supplies and the lack of raises for teachers.
"After that, I started seriously thinking that somebody needed to challenge Sen. Apodaca and get him to answer for some of his policies and legislation that he has helped guide through the General Assembly, especially from his important position as chairman of the Senate's rules committee," Wood said.
Apodaca said Monday he welcomed Wood's challenge. The six-term senator ran unopposed in the general election in 2012, but handily beat all Democratic comers in previous years.
"I'm excited to have a campaign," Apodaca said. "I enjoy campaigning. And I look forward to getting the real story told and seeing how he plans to come up with the money to pay for all of this — whether he's going to raise taxes."
Wood noted that Apodaca has previously raised hefty campaign coffers — including $476,707 in 2012 — and has historically fared well with donations from political action committees from outside the 48th District, which includes Transylvania, Henderson and southern Buncombe counties.
"The money and the power are daunting, but I'm not intimidated by that," Wood said. "I guess it's the old coach coming out in me — I'm willing to take on a challenge."
Wood also knows the district tilts heavily towards the GOP, but pledged to run a non-partisan, inclusive campaign focused on issues such as education, jobs, voting access and health care. He said his campaign committee consists of Democrats, Republicans and independents.
"I know what the political climate is and has been, but I really think there are unaffiliated and Republicans who are also upset about what is happening, and I just believe I'll get some of that vote," Wood said.
North Carolina used to be a leader in education, Wood said, both with it's universities and at the K-12 level. In 2001, former Gov. Jim Hunt challenged the state to "have the best school system in the nation by 2010," Wood said. "And now look where we are. We're going in the other direction. I hope to reverse the trend."
Wood cited the General Assembly's elimination of 7,300 education positions, including 3,850 teaching assistants, as well as the lack of raises for teachers during a time when legislators adopted a $50 million "school voucher" program. He said Henderson County now has 22 fewer TAs than last school year.
"Somebody needs to speak for those educators," Wood said. "If I'm fortunate enough to have the voters send me to Raleigh, I will speak up for teachers. They need to be respected for the important work that they do. They need to be fairly compensated."
In 2007-08, North Carolina was ranked 25th in the nation in teacher's salaries, he said. Last year, they were 46th, "and with no additional raises, we'll undoubtedly be toward the bottom," Wood said. He worries the state is losing its ability to retain good teachers in the face of competition from better-paying states.
"We're already seeing it," he said. "Our local school system has seen more turnover this year than we've seen in years. We hear stories about some going to South Carolina and Tennessee for better pay. A few are going to Buncombe County, where the local supplement is higher."
Apodaca said he respects teachers, but that raises weren't in the cards when the state was faced with $1.5 billion in additional Medicaid costs, and other state agencies were taking bigger hits than education. He said K-12 education actually got $300 million more this year than last.
"I wasn't a math major, but $7.9 billion is more than $7.6 billion," Apodaca said. "And that's the only record that counts — the actual state appropriation."
Wood also took the legislature to task for what he called "voter repression," referring to a GOP reform package that requires voter IDs, compresses early voting hours into seven fewer days, ends same-day registration and eliminated a program that encouraged students to register to vote in advance of their 18th birthdays.
"Anything you do to make it more difficult to vote, I think, is not a good thing for democracy," said Wood. "And I will work to increase voter turnout in fair, honest elections with voter-friendly voting procedures."
Apodaca said he's "never heard of 'voter repression,' but my stance on voter ID has always been there and always will be. I think you should show an ID when you go to vote."
Wood said he plans to continue serving his second term on the Henderson County Board of Education during the campaign. The former basketball coach at Edneyville and West Henderson high schools said "if and when I'm elected, we'll deal with that when the time comes."

On August 28, 1917, Georgina was born to Albert and Berta {SHEWFELT} PUTT of Little Current, Ontario, Canada. She had one sister, Ethel PUTT LABRICK. her husband, Donald R. LEWIS, of Ottawa, Ontario. They were married in Casablanca, French Morocco, on August 18, 1951. She gave birth to her son, Dr. Peter LEWIS, in Paris, France on May 4, 1952. After returning to the United States, she gave birth to her daughter, Julie YOUNG, on January 17, 1954, in Dearborn, Michigan. After living in several Southern states, she and her family settled in Eddyville, Kentucky. Upon her husband's retirement, Georgina and Donald built a home in Cape George Colony, near Port Townsend, Washington, where she lived for the remaining years of her life.
Georgina, like her father Albert, was an avid card player, enjoying bridge with her Friends on a regular basis, and teaching her children and grandchildren to be master card players. She also was a champion knitter and crocheter. She tended beautiful flower gardens, and had a penchant for murder mystery novels. Georgina is survived by her husband, still living in Port Townsend, Washington, her son and daughter-in-law, Anita, and two grand_sons, David and Steven LEWIS, of Port Angeles, Washington, her daughter, who also resides in Port Angeles, and three granddaughters, Emily YOUNG of Louisville, Kentucky, Katie YOUNG of Seattle, Washington, and Amy YOUNG of Port Angeles, Washington. She is also survived by her sister's children, nephews Doug LABRICK of Vancouver, British Columbia and Larry LABRICK of Vence, France, and niece Betty LABRICK of Victoria, British Columbia. A private family service has been planned.

|Rosslyn Chapel - North Side
Something a bit different for this entry. I was going through one of many boxes of old photos that I have from my studies and travels and came upon a packet of prints from a visit to a truly amazing place - Rosslyn Chapel.
Having lived in St. Andrews, Scotland for a couple of years I had the opportunity to visit new and interesting sites all of the time, from Melrose and the Roman fort at Trimontium in the Scottish borders to Inverness and Eilean Donan castle and everything in between. It was something new every weekend. You can visit prehistoric sites, Pictish sites and Roman sites, of which there are many. I'll talk about the latter at another time. Finally, there is a wealth of medieval sites to visit and I have a few entries coming up on those.
|Building materials for restoration work
Rosslyn Chapel lies just south of Edinburgh and has been known as many things throughout its history - the Chapel of the Grail, a key to the secrets and treasures of the Templar Knights, the survivors of which were absorbed, some say, into the Masonic order. Certainly, many authors and historians have contributed to theories that go beyond the boundaries of conventional academia. And why not? It makes for fascinating fiction as well as some perfectly viable historical theories. A few book mentions later on.
|North Aisle
|Carving of Lucifer, the Fallen Angel
Rosslyn Chapel Chapel was founded in 1446 by Sir William St. Clair, the last St. Clair Prince of Orkney, who was buried in the chapel. It took some forty years to build what remains today and even that was not what was intended, for the original plan called for a larger structure. Evidence of this was found in an early excavation when the archaeologists discovered foundation walls that went well beyond the existing walls. Not everyone perceived Rosslyn as a sanctuary, a work of art or marvel of mysticism. Many, especially protestants, labelled Rosslyn as a house of idolatry, no doubt disconcerted by the images staring at them from every corner of the intensely ornate chapel.
|Outer wall of St. Clair Castle
I will not go into the long history of Rosslyn Chapel here as this is more of a short pictorial tease, however, this place was not awarded the respect that was due to such a work of art. In 1650, during the Civil War when Oliver Cromwell's troops were besieging St. Clair Castle (only about 100 meters away), the English horses were stabled in the chapel. In 1688, pro-Protestant villagers from Roslin entered and damaged the chapel because it was "Popish and idolatrous". It was abandoned until 1736 when James St. Clair repaired the windows, roof and floors. If you have read a great deal about Rosslyn, the Templars and/or Masons, you will know that the name of St. Clair (or Sinclair) figures prominently. In April of 1862, the Rosslyn Chapel was rededicated as a place for worship and has undergone various stages of repair over the years, including when I visited in 2000.
|Carving detail
It is, unfortunately, easy to get taken up with picture taking in such a place. I know that at first, I certainly did, but once I ran out of film I was able to sit quietly in that place and admire it for a while. I remember it being very quiet and there certainly was a feeling of constantly being watched (and not by CCTV cameras!). No, there was definitely a feeling to the place, unlike any other. Yes, you do have some of the usual religious iconography and stained glass but there is more of the unusual and mysterious. Questions certainly abound. For instance, the appearance of American vegetation such as aloe or Indian corn! There is a plethora of mythical creatures, dragons especially, of unusual angels such as the one playing the bag pipes, or another carrying the heart of Robert the Bruce (could it be the Black Douglas who was to take the Bruce's heart to Jerusalem?).
|Angel carrying the heart of Robert the Bruce
|The Apprentice Pillar
I think however, that the most striking thing for me was the barrel-vaulted ceiling of the chapel. At one point, you look up and there above is an intricate pattern of alternating daisies, lilies, flowers, Roses and stars.
|Ornamented Barrel-vaulted Ceiling
Numerous books have been written about this place, countless pictures published on-line but, there is no substitute for actually visiting it, interacting with it. Rosslyn has quite a story to tell, no matter what your perspective. You can gaze at it for hours and not see it all.
Here are a few recommended reads that touch on Rosslyn but also on the Templars and Masons. If fiction is your thing, check out Jack Whyte's Templar Trilogy in which the St. Clairs make an appearance. Oh, and why not check out Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code - it may not be literary fiction but it is highy entertaining and has caused millions of people to pick up a book and read who might not otherwise have done so. Besides, he fictionalizes some quite interesting theories put forward by Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh as well as other alternative historian/detectives.
A couple of non-fiction recommendations that I have are Rosslyn, Guardian of the Secrets of the Holy Grail by Tim Wallace-Murphy and Marilyn Hopkins and secondly, The Sword and the Grail by Andrew Sinclair. The latter is a very interesting exploration into the Templars and the possibility that they discovered North America more than ninety years before Columbus's journey of discovery. I know, it sounds mad but it is truly fascinating and besides, the Vikings discovered Newfoundland some five hundred or so years before Columbus! For you alternative history buffs out there, you'll already have made the link to the carvings of Indian corn and aloe on the walls or Rosslyn Chapel.
More to come in another few entries about some extraordinary sites in Scotland and other places. Hope you have enjoyed these shots of Rosslyn Chapel.

The liquid level changes from end to end must be considered in the design of the inlet and outlet devices. Too low a liquid level can result in gas blow-by of inlet cyclones, whereas too high a liquid level can cause siphoning of liquid through the mist extractor.
Table 3 gives some estimates of the natural period of the liquid for vessels undergoing lengthwise motions (sway). The periods are in the order of 10s, which is similar to the period found for floating platforms such as tension leg platforms (TLP) and floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels under a 10-year storm condition.
The alignment of the separators with the structure motion should be considered when designing the layout. For example, on TLP, the vessels are recommended to be aligned with their long dimension, perpendicular to the TLP prevailing motion. On ships, the magnitude and period of the pitch and roll should be considered when aligning the vessels. Normally, it is recommended to align the separators with their long dimension along the length of the ship.
The available literature, as described by Roberts et al.
Sam Edelman Patsy Slip On Wedge Espadrilles Blue Multi pdiJGTSL
, highlights two main features of wave-damping internals:
On some ships, fuel tanks fill with sea water, as the fuel is spent, to prevent problems associated with sloshing.
Shifting the natural frequency is usually accomplished by segmenting the vessel with transverse baffles. The baffles are perforated, can be placed throughout the liquid phase, or can be placed in the region of the oil/water interface. However the following are major concerns:
Horizontal perimeter baffles can be used, but they have disadvantages as well. Other baffle shapes include angled wings along the length of the vessel to mitigate waves because of roll as well as vertical perforated baffles down the length of the vessel. Table 4 highlights the differences between horizontal and vertical baffles.
Stable control of the oil/water and gas/oil interfaces is important for good separation. The typical two-phase separator level settings are shown in Table 5 . For three-phase operation, level settings are placed on both the oil/water interface and oil/gas interface levels.
Typically, the spacing between the different levels is at least 4 to 6 in. or a minimum of 10 to 20 seconds of retention time. The location of the lowest levels must also consider sand/solids settling. These levels are typically 6 to 12 in. from the vessel bottom. Minimum water/oil pad thicknesses are approximately 12 in. Note that these minimum settings may dominate the vessel sizing as opposed to the specified retention times.
In a two- or three-phase horizontal separator with very little liquid/water, a boot or "double-barrel" separator configuration is used. All the interface controls are then located within the boot or lower barrel. Examples of these types of separators can be seen at

Stephen Decatur One of the "Preble's Boys," Decatur was catapulted to national fame after he lead a raid that was so audacious during the First Barbary War, it was proclaimed by British Vice Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson, "the most bold and daring act of the Age." On February 16 th , 1804, Decatur sailed a small ship next to the captured ship USS Philadelphia. Philadelphia had run aground the previous October and Decatur had no intention of letting the Tripolitans turn the ship into a floating fortress. Decatur's mission was to board, capture and burn the frigate.Stephen Decatur
During the First Barbary War, Decatur led a raid so daring it was called, "the most bold and daring act of the age" by British Vice Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson himself.
During the mission, his small force was spotted by pirates aboard Philadelphia but seized the initiative. The pirates were dispatched after a quick fight and Decatur's crew set the ship on fire. Thus denying its use by the enemy. Following a narrow escape, the raid was deemed a complete success and the Americans suffered no casualties. For his leadership and bravery in the First Barbary War, Stephen Decatur, at the age of 25, became the youngest naval officer in history to be promoted to Captain and would go on to enjoy success in the War of 1812 and the Second Barbary War.

Matthew C. Perry Often called "The Father of the Steam Navy," Perry is best known for leading a naval campaign that never fired a shot. On July 8, 1853, Perry displayed America's modern fleet and advance firepower to the Japanese when he led four ships into the harbor at Tokyo Bay. More so, Perry emphasized his resolve to use them if needed. The Japanese relented and signed several treaties that provided protections for stranded or shipwrecked sailors and reestablished regular trade with the western world.Matthew C. Perry
Considered "Father of the steam Navy," Perry was also a big advocate of education and established curriculum for the Naval Academy and supported an apprentice system to train newly enlisted seamen.
But it was Perry's actual ongoing ambitions that made his most famous mission possible;

Years prior to that revolutionary appearance in Tokyo Bay, his advocacy for the steam engine and his foresight to promote naval education for officers and enlisted Sailors sealed his legacy. Perry helped establish the professional naval curriculum for the United States Naval Academy and supported an apprentice system to train newly enlisted seamen. Once promoted to captain, he oversaw construction of the Navy's second steam frigate USS Fulton (1837), which he commanded after its completion. Commanding a new ship for a new era, he laid the foundation for his profound expedition.

Japan warns that North Korea may fire missile at U.S. on Independence Day
North Korea may launch a long-range ballistic missile towards Hawaii on American Independence Day, according to Japanese intelligence officials. The missile, believed to be a Taepodong-2 with a range of up to 4,000 miles, would be launched in early July from the Dongchang-ni site on the north-western coast of the secretive country. Intelligence analysts do not believe the device would be capable of hitting Hawaii's main islands, which are 4,500 miles from North Korea. Details of the launch came from the Japan's best-selling newspaper, Yomiuri Shimbun. Both Japanese intelligence and U.S. reconnaissance satellites have collated information pointing to the launch,...
DPRK 'may launch missile toward Hawaii' / Govt. studying interception over Aomori
A long-range ballistic missile North Korea is believed to have been preparing to launch from its Tongchang-ri facility in the country's northwest highly likely will be launched toward Hawaii, which would take it over Aomori Prefecture, according to analysis by the Defense Ministry.
Sources said the ministry also believes such a launch will be made as soon as early next month.
Based on the analysis and intelligence gathered by U.S. reconnaissance satellites, the ministry has moved into top gear its study on optimally deploying Aegis-equipped destroyers equipped with Standard Missile 3 (SM-3) interceptor missiles and ground-to-air Patriot Advanced Capability 3 (PAC-3) missiles.
According to the ministry, it has been confirmed that North Korea has missile launch bases in Kitteryong near the military demarcation line with South Korea and at Tongchang-ri near the Yellow Sea, in addition to a base at Musudan-ri in northeastern North Korea, where a long-range missile was launched on April 5.
At the Tongchang-ri facility, either a Taepodong-2 missile or an upgraded Taepodong-2 was believed to have been brought from a missile manufacturing facility near Pyongyang on May 30, according to the sources.
Based on the assumption that this latest missile is a two- or three-stage type and has capability equal or superior to the long-range ballistic missile North Korea launched in April, the Defense Ministry predicted the possibility of a launch toward Hawaii, with a launch toward Okinawa Prefecture and Guam also seen a possibility.
If it took the Okinawan path, when the first-stage booster detaches it could fall in the vicinity of a Chinese coastal area and might anger China.
In the case of the Guam path, the missile must overfly South Korea and Japan's Chugoku and Shikoku regions, which means the booster would be dumped onto a land area. Therefore, the ministry sees both possibilities as quite low, according to the sources.
N.Korean Missile Train on the Move
A special North Korean train which transported a long-range rocket or intercontinental ballistic missile to a launch site in Tongchang-ri, North Pyongan Province in May recently moved from a missile research center in Sanum-dong, Pyongyang to another launch site in Musudan-ri, North Hamgyong Province, a South Korean government source said Tuesday. South Korean and U.S. authorities believe the North may have transported a second intercontinental missile to the launch site. The North launched a long-range rocket from Musudan-ri on April 5, which had also been transported by special train.
Seoul and Washington are wondering whether the North will launch two long-range missiles from both launch sites at the same time or whether the train is just a smokescreen to confuse watchers.

Chris Cornell Says New Soundgarden Album 'Picked Up Where We Left Off'
Soundgarden lead singer Chris Cornell says the band's first album in 16 years will stay true to the sound the band had crafted in the 13 years previous to 'Down on the Upside.' The untitled effort is expected to be available in 2012.
"It definitely isn't retro, definitely isn't nostalgic," Cornell tells Revolver Magazine. "It sounds to me like — I don't want to say the next logical step because I don't think logic has anything to do with it — but it sounds like we've picked up where we left off really."
Soundgarden broke up in 1997 but reunited last year for an arena tour which led to studio sessions. The interview with Revolver was focused on Cornell's new live solo album 'Songbook,' which features the 47-year-old playing hits from his many bands on acoustic guitar. He shares that many of the group's songs were written acoustically.
"Songs like 'Blow Up the Outside World,' 'Fell on Black Days' and 'Black Hole Sun' were written initially sitting down with an acoustic guitar," he says. "And 'Spoonman,' the original demos were just acoustic guitars and pots and pans. And that's often true with rock bands, certainly was with us. Everyone in in Soundgarden that has written songs, even really aggressive ones, they've often initially come up with ideas on acoustic guitar."
Cornell has only heard the rough cuts of each of the songs, but says the album is very eclectic and "very Soundgarden." "That's very evident and it feels very forward to me."

Members of three local Boy Scout troops and some of their siblings triumphed at the Rhode Island Lego Robotics State Championship, taking home a total of three trophies. The event was held at Roger Williams University on Jan. 12.
Members of three local Boy Scout troops and some of their siblings triumphed at the Rhode Island Lego Robotics State Championship, taking home a total of three trophies. The event was held at Roger Williams University on Jan. 12.
Members of East Freetown's Troop 333, which sparked the effort, combined with members of New Bedford's Troop 3 and Middletown, R.I.'s Troop 77 to form two separate teams, The Lego Avengers and The Knights of the Square Table. The Avengers placed first in the Robot Performance and Mechanical Design Categories, while the Knights won a trophy for best project presentation.
Last September, both teams went to work, constructing the robots, programming them, and practicing for the event.
"They put a lot of work into it," coach Craig Dahlberg said.
On the day of the competition, both teams were assigned to use their creations to perform a series of missions based around such themes as gardening and medicine. During each mission, the Scouts performed such tasks as transporting objects, activating levers, knocking over bowling pins, and pushing balls onto other team's tables.
Avengers member Drew Benton said his team was very confident throughout the competition. That confidence was affirmed when team members realized that they had by far the highest score of the day. "We were extremely excited," he said.
In addition, the team received a trophy for the mechanical design of their robot, which was judged on a booklet the team put together.
Each team was assigned a project based on this year's theme, "Senior Solutions," and was instructed to come up with a concept to help senior citizens. The Knights created a social networking site where elders could connect with youth.
The Avengers performed in a skit promoting a product they named "The Skynect," a device that would allow the elderly to communicate with distant family members.
Both teams also participated in a "Core Values" Competition, where each team had to build a bridge using marshmallows and sticks. "We had to use teamwork," Knights member Sam Dahlberg said.
The competition was run by the First Lego League, which is open to those between the ages of 9-14 and was founded by Segway Inventor Dean Kamen.
Troop 333 Scoutmaster Mark Perry said the league is part of the Boy Scouts STEM Program, an initiative to promote interest in science, technology, engineering, and math.
Many of the team members expressed interest in one day working in a science=based career.
"I've always been in love with science," Avengers member Logan Avelar said.

CANBERRA, Australia, Dec. 16 (UPI) -- Australia's Defense Department removed three major projects from its official list of contracts falling behind schedule or having cost overruns.
The announcement was made by the Minister for Defense Stephen Smith and Minister for Defense Materiel Jason Clare.
The projects now said to be on track include the Land 121 Phase 3B, a contract for Overlander replacement field vehicles, trailers and modules, and the Air 5418 Phase 1, a Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile.
Also back on track is the Joint 129 Phase 2 project for tactical unmanned aerial vehicles.
"This cuts the number of projects on the Projects of Concern List from 12 at the beginning of the year to six," their statement said.
"So far this year seven projects have been removed from the list, six through remediation and one through cancellation. One project has been added."
The Projects of Concern List and process was set up by the government in 2008 to focus the attention of senior defense ministry managers and major suppliers on fixing the problems.
Since 2008, 19 projects have been put on the list. Of those, 13 have been removed -- 11 were put back on track and two were canceled, the government said.
Land 121 Phase 3B was listed in 2008 because of rising technical, cost and schedule risks. There also was concern about the ability of the original preferred supplier to deliver against their offer, leading the government to retender the project last year.
The government announced this week that subject to the negotiation Rheinmetall MAN has been selected as the new preferred supplier and the contract was removed from the Projects of Concern List. Talks are under way with Rheinmetall MAN to provide up to 2,700 protected and unprotected medium and heavy vehicles.
Air 5418 Phase 1, approved in December 2005, was to acquire air-to-surface missiles for deployment on the air force's Classic Hornet jet fighters.
But the project was listed as a Project of Concern in November 2010 due to a failure by the Defense Department to keep the government properly informed about the project's progress.
"The lesson of this project is that Defense can't fail to keep government properly and fully informed about projects and their difficulties," the statement said.
In July, the missile was tested successfully at the Woomera Test Range in South Australia. In November the missile was released for service, certifying the JASSM for use on Australia's McDonnell Douglas, now Boeing, F/A-18 A/Bs fighters and the project is off the list.
The Joint 129 Phase 2 is for two Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle systems, first approved in 2005. Each system consists of five air vehicles, two ground control stations as well as associated support systems, logistics and training.
But the project was added to the Projects of Concern List in 2008 when the original contract to acquire TUAV systems from a commercial supplier was terminated because of technical issues and schedule delays.
Following cancellation of the original contract, in 2010 government approved the acquisition of two off-the-shelf Shadow 200 systems, made by AAI Corp., under a U.S. Foreign Military Sales arrangement.
The first of these has been delivered for use in Afghanistan, allowing the government to remove the project from the list, the statement said.
Six projects remain on the list. These include the Collins Class submarines, the Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircraft and the lightweight torpedo replacement -- all put on the list in 2008.
Last year the Multi-role Tanker Transport aircraft with air-to-air refueling capability as well as the Electronic Support Measures upgrade for AP-3C Orion aircraft were added to the list.
The government moved its $4 billion contract with Australian Aerospace for 46 MRH90 helicopters to the list last month because the project was two years behind schedule. The six European-designed helicopters to replace Australia's outdated Sea Kings weren't ready for use, Smith said last month.
The MRH90 is a Eurocopter design and the aircraft were ordered to rationalize Australia's military helicopter fleet. They were to replace the Sea Kings and Blackhawks in the army and navy, The Canberra Times reported.

SC11 So who cares about dendrites and dendrite solidification? If you're an auto manufacturer facing a mandate to radically increase the fuel economy of your cars, you care a lot. Or if you're working on new jet engines and need to cut some pounds while increasing durability. Actually, if you rely on any alloy that has to have those 'just right' properties, then dendrite solidification is crucially important to you.
When you look at a metal or alloy under a very strong microscope, you'll eventually see that they're all made up of tiny crystalline grains – which are, in turn, composed of tiny interlocked snowflake-like structures that scientists have dubbed 'dendrites'. This structure comes about when the substance changes form from a liquid (like the liquid metal in a Terminator T-1000) to a solid.
The dendrites dictate the properties of the material – its hardness and flexibility, for example. Being able to examine the distribution of many multiple dendrites is important because it's this distribution that shows if the new alloy is fit for the purpose for which it is being designed. While seeing dendrites is important, having the ability to simulate dendrites and dendrite distribution and then predict the effects of changing the alloy recipe is a very big deal… and that's where petascale supercomputing comes in.
The scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology have been doing quite a bit of work in this area using their TSUBAME 2.0 supercomputer. This machine – a 2.4 petaflop collaboration between HP and NEC composed of 73,000 CPU cores and 57,000 NVIDIA Fermi GPU cores – is currently #6 on the Top500 list.
Before TSUBAME, scientists were limited to simulating dendrites in 2D (left), which was helpful, but of limited benefit.
With TSUBAME, they can throw 16,000 CPU cores and 4,000 GPU cores at the problem and get a 3D simulation of a bunch of dendrites (below right) and then a close-up view of a single dendrite (below left).
With this capability they'll be able to simulate more alloys to a much finer degree and, assumedly, fine-tune them.
For proving that they can use 2.0 petaflops on a practical scientific application, the Tokyo Institute of Technology researchers were awarded the Gordon Bell Prize for Special Achievement in Scalability and Time-to Solution for their paper titled Peta-scale Phase-Field Simulation for Dendritic Solidification on the TSUBAME 2.0 Supercomputer. Gordon Bell is also known as the Nobel Prize of supercomputing.
The paper is fairly deep on the math and science. Here's a small sample …

Red-hot Napoli lifts Red Sox over Yankees in another slugfestBy LARRY FLEISHER
The Spors Xchange
September 07. 2013 6:57PM
NEW YORK - Mike Napoli homered twice while Jonny Gomes homered and drove in four runs, leading the Boston Red Sox to a 13-9 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday afternoon at Yankee Stadium.
Napoli recorded his 13th career game - and third of the season - with two home runs. He hit a two-run shot in the second inning and a solo shot in the ninth. Napoli has 18 RBI against New York this season, with eight coming in this series.
In between Napoli's home runs, Gomes hit a three-run shot in Boston's five-run fourth and rookie Xander Bogaerts added a two-run blast in the fifth for the Red Sox, who have won five straight, eight of nine and 14 of 18. Boston has scored 34 runs in this series and 56 over their last five games while hitting 17 home runs.
After stunning the Yankees in the late innings Thursday and erupting for nine runs in the final three innings Friday, the Red Sox pounced early on New York starter David Huff (2-1). Huff struck out two on 12 pitches in the opening inning, but things changed drastically after that.Napoli launched a two-run home run into the left-field seats, giving him nine straight plate appearances of reaching base.
After Huff gave up a double to Bogaerts and hit Shane Victorino, Gomes hit a first-pitch changeup over the left-field wall for his 12th home run.Boston added five in the fourth as RBI doubles by Ryan Lavarnway and Victorino chased Huff. Reliever Jim Miller came on for his Yankee debut and allowed two more runs, on a run-scoring single by Gomes and a sacrifice fly by David Ortiz.
The Red Sox reached 12 runs for the second time in less than 24 hours when Bogaerts turned on a 3-1 fastball by Miller and hit it over the Red Sox bullpen beyond the left-field wall. They reached 13 for the second time in four games and fourth time this season when Napoli drove a 1-1 changeup over the left-field wall.
Huff, who took the start in place of Phil Hughes, gave up nine runs and eight hits in 3 1/3 innings.
Brett Gardner and Mark Reynolds had two RBI apiece for New York, which has dropped three straight and seven of nine home games against the Red Sox this season.
Derek Jeter's single cut the deficit to 12-6 and knocked out Boston starter John Lackey (9-12), who allowed a season-high seven runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings. Matt Thornton gave up Alfonso Soriano's single but retired Curtis Granderson with two men on to end the sixth.
Jeter was lifted for pinch runner Reynolds, who ripped a two-run double down the left-field line in the eighth against Drake Britton.
According to FOX Sports, Jeter was lifted due to an issue with his surgically repaired left ankle.
After Junichi Tazawa recorded the final two outs of the eighth and the first out of the ninth, Craig Breslow finished up in a non-save situation.

Shades of 1984? 2004? Or Neither?
So the debate is history, and, some would have us believe, the earth has shifted. Obama is no longer the overwhelming favorite, Romney has come back from the dead. Right?
Not so fast. I have been on record since 2010 predicting that President Obama would win re-election. My reasons were not especially clever or complex. Most presidents get re-elected. The demographic changes that favor the Democratic party have only continued since the last election. The Republican field was by most accounts a pretty weak one this year.
Now to be clear, I viewed the 2008 election as the high-water mark for President Obama. There was simply no way he would experience another perfect storm again this time around. There was never a chance he could again inspire the record turnout among young voters and black voters that he had the last time.
And for most of this year, the polls reflected a narrow Obama lead, narrower than the 7-point margin he won by in 2008. Then Mitt Romney had a very bad month of September. Some gaffes, some miscues, and a good convention for the Democrats. The margin widened. The RCP poll average moved from Obama +1 to Obama +4.
Then we had a debate. And Mitt Romney exceeded expectations and here we are… pretty much where we were a month ago.
In 1984, Ronald Reagan led Walter Mondale all year. Then Mondale won the first debate. Reagan came across as tired, and people began to wonder if his age was showing. The polls tightened- a little. And then things went back to the way they were all year. Reagan won 49 states.
In 2004, John Kerry, according to all polls, won his first debate against President Bush. The polls tightened. And then things went back to the way they were for most of the period leading up to the debate. Bush won a narrow re-election.
The current narrative can only last so long. The media beast needs to be fed fresh meat. And until the debate, most of the meat was served up by Mitt Romney in the form of gaffes (the Olympics comments during his visit to London) and mega-gaffes (the 47% speech).
It is possible Mitt Romney has become a more-disciplined and less tone-deaf candidate in recent weeks. Change I can… um… Hope for. But I am a realist. Things usually go back to normal.
A week ago, Nate Silver's model gave Mitt Romney a 13% chance of winning this thing. Now he gives Romney a 29% chance of winning. Sounds about right to me.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Federal Agency Alleged Better Family Life, Inc. Refused to Hire Pregnant Woman
ST. LOUIS – Better Family Life, Inc., a community development organization, will pay $35,000 to settle a pregnancy discrimination suit filed last year by U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
In its suit, the agency alleged that in January 2009 a company representative telephoned a former employee to offer her a job as an employment lead trainer. Before the call ended, the former employee told the representative that she was pregnant. According to the EEOC, the representative called back a few days later to rescind the job offer because of the former employee's pregnancy.
Under the two-year settlement agreement, which was filed today with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri (EEOC v. Better Family Life, Inc., Case No. 4:09-cv-01595-HEA), the company will provide training to managers on pregnancy and other unlawful forms of discrimination, report to the EEOC on pregnant employees and applicants, and permit the EEOC to inspect records to ensure compliance with the terms of the settlement.
"All employers, for-profit and non-profit companies alike, must comply with federal anti-discrimination statutes, including the law prohibiting pregnancy discrimination." said Barbara A. Seely, Regional Attorney of the St. Louis District. "This resolution sends the message that a pregnant applicant has the same right to work as any other applicant."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Measles warning issued to workers at southern NH company
September 03. 2013 10:30PM
CONCORD — More than 600 workers at a southern New Hampshire employer may have been exposed to measles and have been told to stay home until Saturday if they can't prove their immunity to the disease, a state health official said.
The potential exposure happened in mid-August when the measles carrier, who lives out of state, visited the workplace, said Dr. Jose Montero, New Hampshire director of public health. Montero would not identify the employer or the specific community.
Montero said company workers were notified late last week about potential exposure. Those who could prove their immunization — either through vaccination or past infection — are fine.
Those who could not prove immunization were urged to get vaccinated and not return to work until Saturday.

Solar Technology FAQ
Solar Technology Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Solar Technology
A. Solar energy benefits you and the environment, and it's a good way to contribute to energy sustainability. You can reduce your monthly electric bill, receive rebates to subsidize the system cost and also play an important role in moving the state toward a cleaner energy future.
A. Solar electric or PV technology uses the sun's energy to make electricity. When sunlight strikes an array of solar panels, electrons are freed by the interaction of sunlight with semiconductor materials (typically silicon). The movement of electrons creates current, thus creating direct current (DC) power.
DC is the only type of current produced by solar cells. Appliances and machinery, however, operate on alternating current (AC) as supplied by your utility. The DC energy produced by the panels is fed into an inverter that transforms the DC power into AC power, which then feeds into the main electrical panel that powers your house or business.
A bi-directional meter connected to the electrical panel measures both the amount of electricity your system is producing and how much electricity you are consuming.
A. First consider how much sunlight your property receives. Your property should have a clear, unobstructed access to the sun for most of the day, and throughout the year.
In California, the sun is in the southern half of the sky and produces more PV electricity than in the northern part. Because shading will reduce the amount of electricity your system will produce, PV panels ideally should be installed in a location that is not shaded by trees, chimneys or nearby structures.
The best orientation for a PV system is on a south or southwest-facing roof. Flat roofs can also work because the PV array can be mounted on frames tilting south or southwest. In addition PV array can also be mounted on the ground.
A. The amount of roof space needed is based on the size, or generating capacity, of the solar energy system. Residential solar energy systems can vary in size from 50 square feet to 1,000 square feet. A rule of thumb is that a square foot of PV module area produces 10 watts (W) of power in bright sunlight. For example, a 2,000 W system would require about 200 square feet of roof area.
A. Several factors will influence the size of the solar electric generating system. The first step in determining the appropriate size is to conduct a free energy efficiency audit and implement measures to reduce the amount of electricity you need. The second step is to review your previous 12 months of electricity usage. Typically, solar installers and contractors will be able to help you with these steps.
For CSI systems the average residential solar energy system size in our service territory is about 5 kilowatts (kW), and the average non-residential solar system size is 262 kW. The CSI program allows customers to size a solar system up to their previous 12 months electrical requirements, but in most cases homeowners only need to size a system to avoid the upper three billing tiers.
A. In California, a PV system will produce the most electricity in spring through fall when sunlight hours are the longest and the sun is positioned higher in the sky. A 1-kW system can produce from 1,400 kilowatt-hours (kWh) to 2,000 kWh per year depending on the location within the state. Generally, a PV system in Southern California will produce more electricity than one in Northern California.
A. A kW is a basic unit of measure of real electric power or a rate of doing work. A kW is 1,000 W.
A. A kWh is a basic unit of energy consumption. For example, ten 100W light bulbs burning for one hour will consume 1,000 W-hours, or 1 kWh of electricity.
A. The cost varies depending on many factors, including the solar energy system's size, equipment options and labor costs. Typically, the installed costs are determined based on the size of the system's output. The "cost per watt" ($/W) is often used for comparing systems of different sizes.
It is difficult to predict how much an individual system will cost. Visit www.californiasolarstatistics.ca.gov to find out the current average $/W for systems installed through the CSI program.
A. The California Solar Rights Act, enacted in 1978, limits the ability of covenants, conditions and restrictions (typically enforced by homeowners associations) and local governments to restrict solar installations. Get more information on the California Solar Rights Act.
A. Yes. PV output can be impacted by dirt accumulation. The frequency of cleaning depends on the location. For example, locations closer to freeways or industrial facilities, or in high-wind areas are likely to accumulate dirt more rapidly and should be cleaned more frequently.
A. No, a solar generation system operates automatically, and shuts itself on and off automatically.
A. If a power outage occurs, your solar energy system is designed to immediately shutdown for safety reasons. A grid-tied solar electric system does not provide power during outages unless it includes a battery storage system. Your power will be reinstated moments after grid power is restored; however, you may need to manually reset your solar system's inverter back to service after your power is reinstated (most auto reset after power is restored).
A. For additional information on "going solar," visit CSI or Go Solar California.

Time of Poss.
WASHINGTON – Mike Pitsenberger plunged into the end zone from one yard out with 21 seconds remaining to lift CUA to an exhilarating 28-24 victory over Emory & Henry on Homecoming. The Cardinals trailed 24-21 with just over two minutes to play before Miniard Culpepper recovered a fumble that led to the eventual game-winning score.
Following Culpepper's fumble recovery, CUA drove 49 yards in 2:15 and went on top for the first time since the second quarter on Pitsenberger's touchdown.
The Hornets then took over with 15 seconds to play and after completing two passes to the Cardinals' 40-yard line, Emory & Henry had one final chance to try and win but DaVon Ross' pass was batted down and time ran out. CUA has now beaten Emory & Henry four out of the last five meetings, including the last two.
CUA, which ran 91 offensive plays, finished with 463 yards of total offense, led by junior quarterback Greg Cordivari, who completed a staggering 46 of 64 passes for 401 yards and three touchdowns. The 46 completions are a new school record, eclipsing the old mark of 34 set by Keith Ricca in 2005 and 2007, while the 64 attempts also establishes a new school record, with Ricca's 61 in 2005 the previous high.
Andrew Ouellette hauled in 12 of those passes for 111 yards and one score, while Wesley Stringfield caught 10.
The Wasps racked up 398 yards of offense, including 200 on the ground, led by Joseph Vaughn who totaled 87 on 18 carries and Adam Pugh, who finished with 81 on 12 carries.
CUA received the opening kick-off and proceeded to drive 72 yards in five plays, capped off by a Cordivari to Stringfield 12-yard TD pass that the Cardinals ahead 7-0.
The Wasps came right back and drove 73 yards in only four plays to tie things at seven.
Later in the quarter, after the ball changed hands several times, CUA went back in front when Cordivari hit Tucker Hubbel with a 26-yard strike, which make it a 14-7 game with 3:23 to play in the first.
E&H scored twice in the second quarter and took a 21-14 lead into halftime, and that set the stage for an exciting second half.
Neither team scored in the third, but early in the fourth the Wasps went ahead by ten on a 24-yard field goal by Matt Turchin.
Following an exchange of punts, CUA got the ball back and proceeded to march 50 yards in only 1:21 to pull within three on an 18-yard Cordivari to Ouellette touchdown.
With 3:30 to play in the game, E&H got the ball back off a CUA punt and after driving to the Cardinals 29-yard line, the Wasps lined up for a field goal. Joe Tretter blocked the ensuing kick however and CUA took over.
Cordivari gave it right back to E&H though with his lone interception of the afternoon, and it looked as though CUA had run out of chances.
On the very next play E&H's William Pearl coughed the ball up and Culpepper pounced on it, which led the eventual game-winning score for CUA.
The two teams combined for 20 penalties, totaling 208 yards on the afternoon, and there 13 punts. CUA held the ball for 32:01, while E&H finished with a TOP of 27:59.
CUA will now travel to face Washington & Lee on Friday, October 28 in Lexington, Va. Kick-off is set for 7 p.m.

Death penalty foes deliver petition to governorBy DAVE SOLOMON
State House Bureau
May 19. 2018 9:36PM
CONCORD - Death penalty opponents have delivered a petition with more than 50,000 signatures to Gov. Chris Sununu, urging him to sign the death penalty repeal that has passed both House and Senate by large, but not veto-proof, margins.
Sununu has said he plans to veto the bill, largely in response to opposition from law enforcement and the families of murder victims.
But several of those families appeared at a State House news conference on Thursday before delivering their petitions, regarding SB 593, the death penalty repeal bill.
Among the speakers was Andrea LeBlanc, who lost her husband, a UNH professor, in the second plane to hit the World Trade Center on 9/11.
Others included state Rep. Robert "Renny" Cushing, D-Hampton, who lost his father and brother-in-law to murder, and Margaret Hawthorn, whose daughter was shot and killed at her home in Henniker in 2010.
Sununu has promised to veto SB 593, which proposes replacing the death penalty with the sentence of life in prison without parole for the crimes that fall under the state's narrow capital murder statute.
A two-thirds majority of lawmakers present and voting will be needed to override a veto. The Senate was just two votes short of the 16 votes needed to override when it voted in March, and the House was just one vote shy of override numbers when it voted in April.
If there is a veto override vote taken, attendance will be the key factor as it will likely happen this summer.
The state's death penalty has not been used since 1939, and no one was on death row for decades until Michael Addison was convicted in the murder of Manchester police officer Michael Briggs in 2008.
The prospect of Addison's sentence being reduced to life in prison without the possibility of parole dominated much of the debate, with repeal opponents calling for justice on behalf of the officer's family.
Cushing said last week he is confident the House will have the votes to override a veto, and hopeful that two Senate votes can be swayed.
"Gov. Sununu should respect the will of our state's duly elected legislators, including many members of his own party, who have spoken loudly and clearly that New Hampshire can live without the death penalty," he said.
The bill is still awaiting key signatures from legislative leaders before it can be enrolled for submission to the governor, after which he will have five days to sign, veto or let the bill become law without his signature.

European Leaders Fighting Tax Evasion
BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union's leaders are seeking to advance their fight against tax evasion and close loopholes for large corporations' creative tax avoidance schemes. European officials say tax evasion costs the 27-nation bloc an estimated $1.3 trillion per year. The bloc's 27 heads of state and government will focus on tax issues at their four-hour-summit in Brussels today.
