In October and November of 2013, Chava Energy LLC attempted to defraud and swindle JP Morgan Chase to the value of $150,000, by making fraudulent use of no less than five different elaborate fraudulent pretenses in the course of competing in JP Morgan Chase's "Mission Main Street Grants" contest for small business grants. At the time when Chava Energy entered this contest, Chava Energy was still utilizing and featuring on their website the same five packs of fraudcraft which they had presented to the public since 2009. In June 2014, all the material regarding all but one of these five elaborate fraudulent pretenses was suddenly removed from the Chava Energy website, never to be mentioned there again. The four packs of fraudcraft that were suddenly discarded included Chava Energy's "Fractional Hydrogen" "SPICE" Engine fraudcraft, their "Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter" fraudcraft, their "Ultraconductor" Wire fraudcraft, and their "Ultraconductor" Magnetic Energy Storage (UMES) fraudcraft. The only pack of fraudcraft that Chava Energy did not remove was their "Zero Point Energy Generator" fraudcraft. (But even in this case, Chava Energy did remove references to two worthless patents, which Chava Energy had falsely presented as concepts utilizing Zero Point Energy.) Since Chava Energy didn't win any grant in the "Mission Main Street" contest, their utilization of five different elaborate fraudulent pretenses while participating in the contest did not result in a completed swindle – it only involved an attempted swindle. In this article, we examine in detail all five of the five packs of fraudcraft with which Chava Energy LLC attempted to defraud and swindle JP Morgan Chase in late 2013.
1. Introduction
During 2008, if not before, Hagen Ruff became well aware that the talented charlatan Randell Mills had managed to obtain millions of dollars from a number of very foolish and gullible investors, simply by contriving the theory of "hydrino" hydrogen, and pretending that he could develop a new type of engine powered by the decline of ordinary hydrogen to the make-believe "hydrino" hydrogen.
Of course, Ruff was not the only one who noticed this. By 2008, Randell Mills had already inspired a notorious copycat charlatan, Mark Goldes, to make his own use of Mills' "hydrino" theory and engine concept, in his own adventures in swindling and fraud, at his company MPI (Magnetic Power).
Whether Ruff had ever noticed Randell Mills' stunning achievements in fraudcraft before meeting Mark Goldes, we don't know for sure. We only know what Ruff finally did.
And what Ruff finally did was to take Mark Goldes as his partner, in the hope that the two of them together could finally succeed as copycat "hydrino" swindlers, using the very same swindle that Randell Mills was using, and bring in millions of dollars for themselves, at the expense of gullible nitwits, just as Mills had done.
For five years, Hagen Ruff and his partner Mark Goldes deceived and swindled investors by falsely and fraudulently claiming that Chava Energy was developing engines based on "fractional hydrogen" – "hydrinos" – even though Chava Energy has never done any such work at all, and never had any prospect of creating any such engine.
And for five years, Hagen Ruff and his partner Mark Goldes also deceived and swindled investors by falsely and fraudulently claiming that Chava Energy was developing "Ultraconductor wire," even though Chava Energy has never done any such work at all.
And for five years, Hagen Ruff and his partner Mark Goldes also deceived and swindled investors by falsely and fraudulently claiming that Chava Energy was developing "Ultraconductor Magnetic Energy Storage (UMES) systems," even though Chava Energy has never done any such work at all.
And for five years, Hagen Ruff and his partner Mark Goldes also deceived and swindled investors by falsely and fraudulently claiming that Chava Energy was developing "Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converters," even though Chava Energy has never done any such work at all.
And for five years, Hagen Ruff and his partner Mark Goldes also deceived and swindled investors by falsely and fraudulently claiming that Chava Energy was developing generators that would harness Zero Point Energy, even though, once again, Chava Energy has never done any such work at all.
No one can be simultaneously an honest businessman and a dishonest businessman. One must choose to be either one or the other. Hagen Ruff decided five years ago to be a dishonest businessman, when he took Mark Goldes for a partner, co-founded Chava Energy LLC with Mark Goldes, and instantly set about swindling people using nearly all the same false and fraudulent claims that Goldes had already used to swindle people for years. And Hagen Ruff has never yet ceased to be a dishonest businessman. His company Chava Energy has never ceased to make false and fraudulent claims in the hope of deceiving and swindling people.
2. Chava Energy's Attempted Swindle Of JP Morgan Chase
In October 2013, Chava Energy entered JP Morgan Chase's "Mission Main Street Grants" contest for small business grants – each in the amount of $150,000 – to be awarded by Chase.
To win a grant in JP Morgan Chase's "Mission Main Street Grants" contest, a company would first need to receive 250 votes from the general public in order to reach the panel selection stage, and then the company could hope to be selected as a winner by the panel. Chava didn't receive enough votes to reach the panel. At the time when this contest was conducted, all of Chava's false and fraudulent claims to be developing "fractional hydrogen" "SPICE" engines, Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converters, "Ultraconductor wire," "Ultraconductor Magnetic Energy Storage systems," and "MagGen" Zero Point Energy generators were still being presented on Chava Energy's website, which of course would have been the voters' primary source of information on Chava Energy – and which surely would have been the panel's primary information source as well, if Chava had reached the panel. If Chava had reached the panel and won a grant, then Chava Energy would have been guilty of swindling JP Morgan Chase, due to the utter falseness of the many fraudulent claims on the Chava Energy website. Since Chava Energy didn't win any grant, their utilization of five different elaborate fraudulent pretenses while participating in the contest did not result in a completed swindle – it only represents an attempted swindle.
3. Hagen Ruff's Fraudcraft At Chava Energy LLC
We will now review in detail the fraudcraft used by Hagen Ruff and his partner Mark Goldes at Chava Energy LLC for five years or more, for no other purpose than to deceive and swindle gullible investors.
3.1. Chava Energy's First And Second "MagGen" ZPE Generator Fraudcraft
Let's look at some of the flimflam Chava Energy previously posted on their website regarding the "MagGen" devices, until its very recent removal:
"Our MagGen™ magnetic generators convert abundant, ambient and renewable energy sources that exist everywhere in the universe. Power Units can be small and lightweight, and made from non-toxic materials."
"MagGen™: The Chava Magnetic Generator (MagGen™) breakthroughs offer several alternate routes to tapping the energy of quantum noise (Zero Point Energy) via the magnetic spin moment."
"Chava has two U.S. Patents patents aimed at commercialization under the trademark of MagGen™. Patents #7,830,065 and #8,093,869 cover solid-state (no moving parts) magnetic generators. An early prototype produced an output, at a very low power level, of more than 100 times the input.
"The first patent titled 'Solid State Electric Generator,' was issued Nov 9,2010. The second titled 'Apparatus for Generating Electricity…' issued January 10,2012. Several prototypes of more advanced devices have been built and an additional, very broad, patent application has also been filed. All power generation modules can be combined, in a manner similar to solar cells, to provide larger amounts of power. We expect to file an additional thirty (30) patents over the next three (3) years for various magnetic power device designs."
"Chava expects, within three years, of creating prototype Chava Energy™ conversion systems to provide power for automobiles."
"Several prototypes of more advanced devices have been built and thirty (30) additional patents are expected to be filed over the next thirty-six (36) months for various families of magnetic power devices."
"RESIDENTIAL GENERATORS for off-grid customers will be an early market product. Today, generators are typically powered by gasoline. In the aftermath of disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and typhoons, power is often unavailable; such early devices, without requiring fuel, will make a crucial difference. Mobile power generators will be a key resource for government emergency agencies and rural communities.
"Chava expects, within three years, of creating prototype Chava Energy™ conversion systems to provide power for automobiles. This eliminates the need for large batteries and for electrical recharging stations. That goal may be reached faster if our engineering development teams work on a 24/7 basis. The conversion systems will open a path to mass production of entirely new varieties of automotive power plants. Other industries will follow soon after the key markets of residential and automotive power."
In fact, neither of the two patents referenced above involve devices that could ever "tap Zero Point Energy" at all. Neither of the patents even mention Zero Point Energy. Neither of the patents describe devices that ever serve as useful "energy conversions systems" as claimed by Chava. As in every case of pretense by Chava, Chava has merely repeated the same empty claims year after year, without ever producing or presenting any device or any evidence of development.
3.2. Chava Energy's "Fractional Hydrogen" "SPICE" Engine Fraudcraft
Chava Energy claimed as follows, on the Chava Energy website:
"Energy from Collapsing Hydrogen Orbits – ECHO™ makes possible a Self Powered Internal Combustion Engine – SPICE™
"Chava uses the terms f/H for fractional Hydrogen and for commercial purposes ECHO™ – Energy from Collapsing Hydrogen Orbits. Converting Hydrogen to f/H releases hundreds of times the power of Hydrogen combustion with oxygen.
"The energy released from the conversion of one barrel of Hydrogen to fractional Hydrogen is equal to the energy from burning 200 barrels of oil.
"Conversion of Hydrogen to fractional Hydrogen releases hundreds of times more energy than achievable by burning Hydrogen, though not as much energy from a nuclear reaction. However the energy released by conversion to fractional hydrogen is completely safe and does not generate any radioactive products or other hazards from nuclear reactions. Furthermore, the cost will be far lower than from fossil fueled or nuclear plants. ECHO systems may dramatically accelerate independence from fossil fuels.
"Chava work with fractional quantum states of Hydrogen has opened a path to a new concept we call SPICE — Self Powered Internal Combustion Engine.
"A Self Powered Internal Combustion Engine – SPICE, will open a cost-competitive alternative to fossil fuels and nuclear power. Importantly, it can be sized for use in automotive applications. By implementing a revolutionary clean technology as a retrofit for current car engines we can make a very large impact quickly – eliminating pollution from burning fuel in cars and producing a lot of clean energy cheaply. With engines able to run using small amounts of water in a clean and safe way, we can now leave cars running when appropriately parked, as mobile power plants delivering electricity to the grid. Owners with SPICE powered cars would produce far more power than they need to run their homes. SPICE powered cars and trucks could also power places where we work.
"A SPICE in a hybrid car is expected to have a fuel requirement of only one gallon of water for each 1,000 miles of driving… Imagine the positive impact on the economy and the environment of future cars, trucks and buses that need no conventional fuel or recharge, and can pay for themselves over time. This can become a near-term and less expensive alternative to building new coal burning or nuclear power plants."
Here is what the physicist Andreas Rathke had to say in 2005 about Mills' theory of "Classical Quantum Mechanics," on which both Mills' "hydrinos" and Chava Energy's "fractional hydrogen" are supposedly based:
"In this paper, we have considered the theoretical foundations of the hydrino hypothesis, both within the theoretical framework of CQM, in which hydrinos were originally suggested, and within standard quantum mechanics. We found that CQM is inconsistent and has several serious deficiencies. Amongst these are the failure to reproduce the energy levels of the excited states of the hydrogen atom, and the absence of Lorentz invariance. Most importantly, we found that CQM does not predict the existence of hydrino states! Also, standard quantum mechanics cannot encompass hydrino states, with the properties currently attributed to them. Hence there remains no theoretical support of the hydrino hypothesis."
In other words, not only has Randell Mills' theory of "Classical Quantum Mechanics" been shown beyond doubt to be false , but it does not even support Mills' theory of "hydrino" hydrogen states, as Mills would have us believe. There are no "hydrino" states, or "fractional hydrogen" states as Chava Energy calls them. The whole idea is nothing more than a heap of flimflam, that a charlatan may use to swindle nitwits.
In fact, Chava Energy never did any actual work in this direction, at all. They merely claimed and pretended to be doing so – as usual.
3.3. Chava Energy's "Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter" Fraudcraft
The most minimal of the Goldes-Ruff fraudcraftings, their Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter apparently never included much more than a few sentences on the Chava Energy website, based on a brief Proposal by Cyril Smith:
"Chava's thermionic converter design extracts ambient heat from the environment and converts this into useable electrical energy."
"Chava is planning to introduce a thermionic converter which will extract ambient heat from the environment and efficiently convert this heat into electrical energy.
"At first sight it appears that this system is prohibited by the laws of physics. No power is supplied but, as if by magic, the system pumps heat and transfers it into an electrical load.
"Recent work supports this idea. Xin Yong Fu and Zi Tao Fu at Jiao Tong University, in Shanghai, performed an experiment described in their paper: Realization of Maxwell's Hypothesis.
"With no magnetic field present, although electrons thermally emitted from one electrode can reach the other, by symmetry the reverse reaction is true and no detectable current flows. However when a magnetic field was applied current flow from one electrode to the other was observed.
"But, where the Chinese device produced only tiny current from the thermal emissions, the Chava AHE Thermionic device is expected to produce significantly higher current, hence much greater power levels."
The fraudcraft above – recently removed from chavaenergy.com – quotes a sentence from a certain Proposal by Cyril Smith that leaves the impression that Chava had already created this magical device. In fact, Cyril Smith later wrote a Critique of his own proposal, and it was never "developed" at all.
3.4. Chava Energy's "Ultraconductor" Fraudcraft
"Our patented Ultraconductor™ technology provides revolutionary zero resistivity conductive at room temperature polymer materials. Their behavior is identical to that of superconductors, but without the need for cryogenic cooling. "
"ULTRACONDUCTOR™ defined: An electrical conductor, similar to present-day superconductors, having zero measurable electrical resistance in one dimension. They consist of organic polymers that exhibit electrical resistance much lower than the best metallic conductors and are considered a novel state of matter.
"Ultraconductors™ are patented materials being developed for commercial applications with the support of Chava Energy and are the subject of a landmark U.S. Patent 5,777,292, U.S. Patent 6,804,105 and equivalent patents pending worldwide.
"Ultraconductors™ are the result of more than 16 years of prior scientific research, peer-reviewed publication, independent laboratory testing, and 8 years of engineering development. From an engineering perspective, Ultraconductors™ are a fundamentally new and enabling technology, a 're lightweight, flexible, transparent medium possessing magnetic, electric, and electronic properties with exceptionally high commercial value. This technology was independently reproduced for the United States Air Force. Chava Energy continues to develop and improve upon wire and cable using room temperature polymer superconductive materials.
"Ultraconductor™ polymers are the only known materials of their kind and our proprietary technology includes the materials, means of fabrication, and application types. Ultimately, Ultraconductors™ offer unprecedented high performance and energy efficiency across a very broad range of products. They are made by the sequential processing of amorphous polar dielectric elastomers.
"Ultraconductors™ exhibit a set of anomalous magnetic and electric properties, including: very high electrical conductivity (> 1011 S/cm -1) and current densities (> 5 x 108 A/cm2), over a wide temperature range (1.8 to 700 K).
"The Ultraconductor™ properties are measured in discrete macromolecular structures which form over time after the processing. In present thin films (1 – 100 micron thickness) these structures, called 'channels', are typically 1 – 2 microns in diameter and 10 – 1000 microns apart.
"Using Ultraconductors™ for chip connectors solve a major technical issue for the semiconductor industry – one that still relies upon solder bumps to connect chips, further limiting chip size reduction. Our approach will promote the ability to create smaller chip designs that generate less heat.
"Ultraconductor Wire™ can be made by extending a channel to indefinite length. The technique has been demonstrated in principle. Connections between conducting structures is done with a metal electrode: when two channels are brought together they connect.
"From an engineering point of view, in many applications Ultraconductors can replace copper wire and current high temperature superconductors (which still require liquid nitrogen for cooling) . "
The great high points of Chava Co-founder Mark Goldes' career in fraudcraft were the obtaining of four Small Business Innovative Research grants from the Unites States Air Force, which cost taxpayers roughly a half million dollars. In the fourteen years since the conclusion of the fourth project, MPI and Chava Energy have evidently made no further progress in this area, at all – but that has not stopped Goldes from pretending that Magnetic Power Inc, or Chava Energy LLC, or "Aesop Institute" will be making Revolutionary Breakthroughs involving "Ultraconductors" as soon as you give them your money. In fact, MPI's own reports on the Ultraconductor grant projects consist of a succession of rosy and wonderful claims and predictions which went entirely unfulfilled by following projects, and remain unfulfilled today. It is necessary to understand that the "Ulraconductor" film was only claimed to be "ultraconductive" to current across the thin dimension of the film – and not along the extensive dimensions. MPI asserted that they would develop a way to make the thin "ultraconductive" film thicker – and never did so. MPI asserted that they would develop a way to make "ultraconductive" wire – and never did so. MPI asserted that their enrichment method would become the key to making thicker film and wire – but the method never did so. MPI asserted that their "Ultraconductor" film would surely prove wonderfully useful for making thermoelectric devices – but once again, the rosy claims went unfulfilled. MPI asserted that they would obtain "ultraconductivity" along the plane of the film, instead of merely across the thin dimension, by repositioning the supposedly "ultraconductive" channels. They never did so.
3.5. Chava Energy's "UMES" Fraudcraft
Even though neither MPI nor Chava Energy ever presented the slightest fulfillment of their endless claims to be on the verge of creating an Ultraconductor wire, and even though the creation of Ultraconductor wire would be a prerequisite for developing any Ultraconductor Magnetic Energy Storage (UMES) system , that didn't stop Chava Energy from pretending that they were already developing the UMES system. After all, if they could develop a "Fractional Hydrogen" engine utilizing a type of hydrogen that doesn't exist, and cannot exist, why shouldn't they be able to develop an energy storage system utilizing a type of wire that doesn't exist?
"Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) systems store energy in the magnetic field of a superconducting coil. Direct Current flow in a superconducting coil creates the magnetic field and will last forever while the coil is cryogenically cooled to a temperature below its superconductive critical temperature.
"A typical SMES system includes three parts: superconducting coil; power conditioning system; and cryogenically cooled refrigerator. Once the superconducting coil is charged, the current will not decay and the magnetic energy can be stored indefinitely.
"The stored energy can be released by discharging the coil. Because of its superconductive ability, SMES systems are highly efficient with the least amount of electricity loss in the transfer process compared to other currently known or utilized methods of energy storage.
"However, the requirement for cryogenic cooling makes SMES systems very expensive and often impracticable.
"Chava's Ultraconductor technology eliminates the need for cryogenic cooling since our proprietary conductive polymer material is superconductive at room temperature.
"Chava's is working towards achieving greater lengths of Ultraconductor Wire™ from which a room temperature Ultraconductor Magnetic Energy Storage (UMES™) system can be made.
"UMES™ systems could be stacked and linked together to provide major utilities and industrial plant sites with efficient and cost effective energy storage. This allows for better planning for energy uses during the day and night without impacting present day power generation processes and would have substantial positive impact on lowering carbon footprints.
"In time, it is anticipated that UMES systems could be made small enough to be usable in numerous applications where peak energy demands are unpredictable or sporadic, such as in transportation systems like trains, marine vessels, automobiles, air transport."
4. Recapitulation.
To summarize, we will now recapitulate more concisely the fraudcraft used by Hagen Ruff at Chava Energy LLC for five years after its founding:
4.1. The "Fractional Hydrogen" "SPICE" Engine Fraudcraft
Like every other "revolutionary development" pretense by Chava Energy, Chava's claims to be developing a water-fueled "Fractional Hydrogen" engine were fraudulent first of all because Chava never even attempted to develop any such thing. Their pretended belief and interest in the possibility of the nonexistent state of hydrogen they called "Fractional Hydrogen" was merely part of a futile effort to copy the appalling success of Randell Mills' fraudulent use of his "hydrino" flimflam at Blacklight Power.
4.2. The First And Second "MagGen" ZPE Generator Fraudcraft
To avoid confusion, we will refer to the first "MagGen" as Gunderson-20060163971, and the second "MagGen" as Gunderson-8093869.
Chava Energy for five years referred to the two Gunderson devices as "MagGen" magnetic generators, falsely and fraudulently claiming that they would provide electric power by "tapping Zero Point Energy," and that Chava Energy would create "MagGen" prototypes "to provide power for automobiles" "within three years."
4.3. The Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter Fraudcraft
Just as with every other "revolutionary energy breakthrough" claimed by Chava Energy since 2009, we have precisely zero evidence that Chava Energy ever even attempted actually to build the Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converter described in the 2008 Proposal by Cyril Smith. Smith's Proposal came to Chava Energy by way of Goldes' previous company, Magnetic Power Inc – along with every other "revolutionary breakthrough" ever claimed by Chava Energy. As Chava Energy knew very well, it would never have worked as a power source as claimed. It was only useful as a pretense.
4.4. The "Ultraconductor" Fraudcraft
Chava Energy's "Ultraconductor" fraudcraft was fraudulent first of all because Chava Energy has never done any development work with the so-called "Ultraconductor" film and therefore has never "continued to develop" the film at all, even though they pretended otherwise for five years. Just as Goldes had done at MPI, Chava Energy misrepresented the true prospects of the "Ultraconductor" material, which had never been found or made useful for any purpose, despite the substantial research funding that MPI had received in the nineties.
4.5. The "UMES" Fraudcraft
Chava Energy's claims regarding "Ultraconductor" Magnetic Energy Storage ("UMES") were fraudulent first of all because Chava Energy had never been "working towards achieving greater lengths of Ultraconductor Wire," at all. They have only falsely claimed to be doing so, without ever actually doing any such work. The reference to "greater lengths of Ultraconductor Wire" misrepesents the true status of the "Ultraconductor" by giving the impression that at least a short "Ultraconductor" wire had already been developed – which is not true. Goldes' company MPI had worked with a film which they claimed to be "ultraconductive" to current across the thin dimension, but had never succeeded in making any "ultraconductive" wire, at all.
5. Exploiting Concerns Over Climate Change.
An "MPI Overview And Summary" produced by MPI in late 2008 actually lists Hagen Ruff as the Chief Executive Officer of MPI, as well as a Director of MPI; Mark Goldes, who had been the CEO of MPI for two decades, is listed only as Chairman. This document also shows that a major component 0f the Goldes-Ruff Fraudcraft was already well developed in 2008: namely, the fraudulent pretense that the worthless "revolutionary breakthroughs" claimed by Goldes and Ruff could provide alternatives to fossil fuels and thereby shift the global economy "from one dependent on fossil fuels to one that exists on clean, fuel-free, distributed power" and thereby "help offset the consequences of global warming."
At the time when Hagen Ruff, as CEO of MPI, allowed this and many similar statements to be included in the 2008 "MPI Overview," MPI was claiming among its "breakthroughs" all but one of the seven fraudcraftings – all but Kondrashov's self-powered air compressor, which Goldes discovered in 2013. Ruff and Goldes knew perfectly well that not one of MPI's six claimed "breakthroughs" represented anything more than an empty pretense. They also knew that Randell Mills at Blacklight Power had obtained millions of dollars from foolish investors by means of his "hydrino" fraudcraft – and they saw no reason why MPI couldn't do the very same.
But Ruff's position as CEO of MPI could only have lasted a few months. Ruff and Goldes soon began calling themselves the Co-founders of a new company, Chava Energy, and the chavaenergy website was up and running by mid-April 2009.
6. Mark Goldes
Mark Goldes' "Aesop Institute" is simply an elaborate fraud. After founding Magnetic Power Inc in the mid-eighties, Mark Goldes and MPI soon developed most of the fraudcraftings which would serve as Goldes' offerings in fraudcraft for the next thirty years, not only at MPI, but also at Chava Energy LLC, and at his so-called "Aesop Institute." Goldes' partnership with Hagen Ruff, the other Co-founder (as well as CEO) of Chava Energy LLC, gave the Goldes-MPI fraudcraft a new lease on life, and accordingly it may be most properly termed the "Goldes-Ruff Fraudcraft." For the past five years or more, while serving as a Co-founder and a Chief Officer of Chava Energy LLC, Goldes used his mgoldes @ chavaenergy dot com email address as his Aesop Institute email address as well, at least until his very recent ejection from Chava Energy. In practice, Goldes made continual use of Aesop Institute to bring investors to Chava Energy, which for five years has based its pretenses on nearly all the same fraudcraft used by Goldes at Aesop Institute. The common fraudcraft has included the same fraudcraftings of water-fueled "Fractional Hydrogen" engines, generators powered by Zero Point Energy, "Ultraconductor" wire, "Ultraconductor" energy storage systems, and strictly ambient heat engines – along with the same false claims that "prototypes" of all these concepts were being developed, and would soon provide wonderful alternatives to fossil fuels.
7. Intertwining Of Chava Energy LLC With Mark Goldes' So-Called "Aesop Institute"
For five years, Hagen Ruff allowed Mark Goldes, a Co-founder as well as a Chief Officer of Chava Energy, not only to use his mgoldes @ chavaenergy dot com email address to solicit loans to Goldes' so-called "Aesop Institute," but simultaneously to solicit loans to Aesop Institute and investments in Chava Energy in the course of discussions and communications with prospects who had reached Goldes by way of aesopinstitute dot org. In effect, Ruff allowed Aesop Institute to become a fund-raising extension of Chava Energy. Starting in 2009, if not before, Goldes posted thousands of fraudulent comments advertising the aesopinstitute website and promoting the Goldes-Ruff fraudcraft on dozens of different websites. On Huffington Post alone, as the user "Overtone," he posted over three thousand such comments. When people contacted Goldes after visiting the aesopinstitute website, they would hear from Goldes not only about Aesop Institute but also about Chava Energy, and Goldes would solicit loans to Aesop Institute or investment in Chava Energy, whichever the prospect preferred, at the same time. This was his standard practice for years. By allowing this entangling of Aesop Institute with Chava Energy LLC, Ruff has incurred responsibility not only for the false and fraudulent pretenses of Chava Energy, but for those of Mark Goldes' "Aesop Institute" as well.
8. Chava Energy's Attempted Quarter-Million-Dollar Swindle – That Failed
In October 2013, Chava Energy entered JP Morgan Chase's "Mission Main Street Grants" contest for small business grants – each in the amount of $250,000 – to be awarded by Chase. To win a grant, a company would first need to receive 250 votes from the general public in order to reach the panel selection stage, and then the company could hope to be selected as a winner by the panel. Chava didn't receive enough votes to reach the panel. At the time when this contest was conducted, all of Chava's false and fraudulent claims to be developing "fractional hydrogen" "SPICE" engines, Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converters, "Ultraconductor wire," "Ultraconductor Magnetic Energy Storage systems," and "MagGen" Zero Point Energy generators were still being presented on Chava Energy's website, which of course would have been the voters' primary source of information on Chava Energy – and which surely would have been the panel's primary information source as well, if Chava had reached the panel. If Chava had reached the panel and won a grant, then Chava would have been guilty of swindling JP Morgan Chase, due to the utter falseness of the many fraudulent claims on the Chava Energy website. Since Chava didn't win any grant, we can't accuse them of a swindle in this instance. We only accuse them of an attempted swindle.
9. Chava Energy's Continuing Dishonesty And Fraudulence
Under "Company Profile," Chava Energy states:
"Chava Energy™ (Chava LLC) develops breakthrough energy solutions with the goal to dramatically reduce the need for fossil fuels and the associated economic, environmental, health, and geopolitical issues."
– But Chava has never developed any "breakthrough energy solution." They have only pretended to be doing so.
"Our new energy solutions will be substantially less expensive than any other existing form of power generation by tapping energy from the 96% percent of our universe that is currently invisible (dark energy and matter). These sources include Zero-Point Energy (also called Quantum Energy, or Vacuum Energy)."
– But Chava is not developing any "energy solutions" that tap Zero Point Energy.
Under Key Target Markets," Chava says:
"We plan to enter the residential power market in a two-prong strategy. First, we are supplying consumers with small fuel-free devices covering most of the electricity demand in a typical household, while initially remaining connected to the existing power grid in a manner similar to many solar installations. After the initial trials are successfully completed, later generations of devices will be able to provide a grid-independent power supply to homes and apartments. These devices could be either purchased by the consumer or leased for a low monthly subscription fee.
"Automotive: Cars, trucks, buses, rail locomotives, RVs, electric-assisted bicycles, elderly person motive power, golf carts, scooters, electric motorcycles.
"Utilities: Utilities are constantly on the lookout for technologies that would enable them to build and operate power plants without the need of fossil or uranium fuels, producing renewable electricity at a much lower price point than any other alternative. It also eliminates the vast land-use and transmission/permitting problems that most other renewable power generation projects are faced with."
"Computing: PC's, laptop, server – retrofit and new-build markets.
"Consumer Electronics: Cell phones/PDA's, still cameras and video recorders, torches/flashlight, music players, portable DVDs, TVs, gaming, and power supplies; toys, scooters, bikes, electric skateboards.
"Aerospace: Initially engines for small aircraft. Later, advanced technology may ultimately replace or supplement engines for large air and spacecraft.
"Marine: Initially, propulsion systems for smaller vessels and yachts; but ultimately complete systems for large transport and cruise ships.
"Civil/Government: Street lighting; remote power; access control, security, surveillance, military bases, government office buildings, medical facilities and equipment.
"Telecom: Cell tower infrastructure, networking, repeater/amplifier power, remote power.
"Agriculture/Irrigation: Desalinization, pumping stations, water remediation, systems monitoring, sprinklers heads, implements, planting, fertilization, harvesting
"Health Care/Science: Hospitals, Clinics, Medical Equipment, Scientific Laboratories
"Manufacturing/Industry: Durable goods production, mining, shipping."
– But Chava Energy is not developing any such devices. Chava has never developed anything but a number of perfectly empty, false, and fraudulent pretenses such as the ones we are quoting.
Under "Our Energy Solutions," Chava says:
"Chava expects, within three years, of creating prototype Chava Energy™ conversion systems to provide power for automobiles. This eliminates the need for large batteries and for electrical recharging stations. That goal may be reached faster if our engineering development teams work on a 24/7 basis. The conversion systems will open a path to mass production of entirely new varieties of automotive power plants. Other industries will follow soon after the key markets of residential and automotive power."
Under "Revolutionary Energy Breakthroughs," Chava says:
"Chava Energy™ is working in the same area as demonstrated by [Hans] Coler. Some of our generators may prove to be tapping Coler's Space Energy source, now often referred to as Zero Point Energy (ZPE)."
– But Chava Energy does not have any generators that could be tapping Zero Point Energy, and Hagen Ruff certainly knows that Chava Energy does not have any such generators.
"Chava Energy™ is developing new energy conversion devices that can be manufactured in many of the world's underutilized factories, possibly creating many new jobs around the globe. These energy devices can be used to power homes and businesses and turn cars, trucks, buses, and ships and eventually aircraft, into portable power plants. Our goal is to replace conventional engines or expensive batteries, eliminating the need for recharging or using any fuels for operation."
– But in fact Chava Energy is not developing any such "new energy conversion devices." They are only pretending – just as they pretended for five years to be developing "Ultraconductor" wire and "Ultraconductor" energy storage systems before finally dropping the pretense quite recently, having never done any such work at all.
"Our advanced designs will soon be capable of producing torque and/or electricity on a self-sustaining basis."
– In fact, Chava has no designs that will ever be capable of any such thing – as Hagen Ruff knows very well. If Hagen Ruff believed he had any such advance designs, why would he want to go into the wind turbine business?
"Our energy conversion modules are designed to be easy to use, inexpensive and capable of rapid manufacturing, thus making a positive global impact. They have the potential to catalyze, with a kick start, a world economic recovery."
– But Chava Energy has no such modules with any such potential – as Hagen Ruff again knows very well, or he wouldn't have any interest in producing wind turbines.
10. Conclusion.
If Chava Energy's claims regarding their pretended Revolutionary Breakthrough development of "Fractional Hydrogen" "SPICE" engines, Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converters, "Ultraconductor" wire, "Ultraconductor Energy Storage Systems," and Zero Point Energy harvesting "MagGen" generators were not false and fraudulent, why did Hagen Ruff suddenly remove those claims from Chava's website?
In fact, all of those fraudulent claims came originally from the very same source: Chava Energy Co-founder and Chief Market Research Officer Mark Goldes, and Goldes' previous company, Magnetic Power Inc.
We do find and state that Hagen Ruff's Chava Energy LLC has made a great many utterly false and fraudulent claims and statements, showing very unscrupulous dishonesty, on the matters of "Fractional Hydrogen" engines, Ambient Temperature Thermionic Converters, and "MagGen" generators that supposedly harness Zero Point Energy, "Ultraconductor" wire and "Ultraconductor Magnetic Energy Storage Systems."
The relentless and pervasive dishonesty, fraudulence, and unscrupulousness, that characterized Mark Goldes' use of his company Magnetic Power Inc for over twenty years prior to the founding of Chava Energy LLC, has also characterized Mark Goldes' and Hagen Ruff's use of Chava Energy LLC and Aesop Institute since 2009.
If there had ever been any chance at all that Chava Energy LLC could be transformed into an honest and honorable company despite its five-year specialization in fraudcraft, that chance was wiped out by Hagen Ruff's most recent communications, in which he embarked on some brand new pretenses, no less ludicrous than his fraudcraft of "Fractional Hydrogen." He now wants to pretend that his very active Co-founder, Mark Goldes, the very same person who served as his Chief Liar for five years, was actually never a part of Chava Energy, at all! And he also now wants to pretend that none of Chava Energy's fraudcraftings came from Mark Goldes or MPI – even though, in fact, they all did – every one of them.
11. Notes.
Notes On Chava Energy's Water-fueled "Fractional Hydrogen" "SPICE" Engine Fraudcraft
Here is a link to Andreas Rathke's paper, "A critical analysis of the hydrino model:"
And here is some more information:
And here is Randell Mills' hydrino-power patent application 6024935, "Hydrogen atoms and cells for energy extraction:"
Notes On Chava Energy's Ambient Heat Thermionic Converter Fraudcraft
Here is Cyril Smith's 2008 "Proposal For A Room-temperature Thermionic Converter," from which the Chava Energy website flimflam on ambient temperature Thermionic Converters was evidently taken. (The website quotes a sentence from it that leaves the impression that they have already created and demonstrated this device – but that is obviously not the case. )
Here is some information on thermionic converters:
And here is Britannica's article on thermionic power converters:
Notes On Chava Energy's "Zero Point Energy" Fraudcraft
Chava Energy previously stated on their website: "Our MagGen™ technologies are the subject of two pending U.S. patent applications covering solid-state magnetic generators. An early prototype of one of them produced an output, at a very low power level, of more than 100 times the input. This first pending patent is titled "Solid State Electric Generator," under Application no. US 2006/0163971 and is dated July 27th 2006."
In reality, Gunderson's "Solid State Electric Generator" is not a generator at all, but only a crude transformer, which has never been found useful for any purpose at all.
Here is the application for publication number 20060163971 . See if you can find any use of "Virtual Photon Flux" or Zero Point Energy, as Goldes and Ruff have variously pretended:
Here is the patent application for Publication number 8093869, which Goldes at MPI first called "POWERGENIE" and then "GENIE," but which Chava Energy has presented as simply another "MagGen" utilizing Zero Point Energy – even though, once again, there is no mention of any Zero Point Energy in the application:
Recent Internet Lies by Hagen Ruff
Let's look at just two of Hagen Ruff's false statements from a recent comment on revolution-green.
1. Hagen Ruff states:
"During a personal financial event of Mark [Goldes] in 2012 we decided to cease operations of Chava LLC and created a new company 'Chava Energy LLC', which Mark [Goldes] was no longer part of."
Ruff very recently removed the entry for Mark Goldes on Chava Energy's list of "Team Members," which described Mark Goldes as:
"Mark Goldes, Co-Founder, CMRO (Chief Market Research Officer)"
However, although Ruff updated the page to delete this entry for Mark Goldes, the page was previously cached by Zoom Information Inc. on 10/30/2013 – so you can still see for yourself what the page contained previously. Under "Web References," near the top of the list, you will see the word "cached" in blue type between brackets. Just click on that.
Or try this:
In fact, Mark Goldes was already in 2009 describing himself as "Co-founder of Chava Energy" in many posts which can still be found with a google search.
You can easily get a rough idea of just how active Mark Goldes has been as Chava Energy's Chief Market Research Officer, just by doing a google search on his Chava Energy email address, firstname.lastname@example.com:
Furthermore, Chava Energy LLC was not started in 2012 – it was started in 2010 (if not earlier), as anyone can see for themselves from the legal filing date:
"Chava Energy LLC filed as a Domestic Limited-Liability Company in the State of Nevada on Friday, May 28, 2010 "
2. Hagen Ruff also states:
"…none of the Chava companies have ever assumed any assets, patents, notes, shares, or liabilities from any of the old Mark Goldes companies MPI and RTS…"
We can easily show the falseness of this statement.
First, Chava LLC's patent for a "Solid state electric generator" – which is actually only a crude transformer, and not a generator at all – did indeed come from Goldes' company Magnetic Power:
Publication number US20060163971 A1
Publication type Application
Application number US 11/336,337
Publication date Jul 27, 2006

La Leche League of Southern California/Nevada Board of Directors
La Leche League (LLL) was founded to give information and encouragement, mainly through personal help, to all mothers who want to breastfeed their babies. While complementing the care of the physician and other health care professionals, it recognizes the unique importance of one mother helping another to perceive the needs of her child and to learn the best means of fulfilling those needs.
LLL believes that breastfeeding, with its many important physical and psychological advantages, is best for baby and mother and is the ideal way to initiate good parent-child relationships. The loving help and support of the father enables the mother to focus on mothering so that together the parents develop close relationships which strengthen the family and thus the whole fabric of society.
LLL further believes that mothering through breastfeeding deepens a mother's understanding and acceptance of the responsibilities and rewards of her special role in the family. As a woman grows in mothering she grows as a human being, and every other role she may fill in her lifetime is enriched by the insights and humanity she brings to it from her experiences as a mother.
The League's purpose is distinct. This singleness of purpose does not prevent interaction with other organizations with compatible purposes, but La Leche League will carefully guard against allying itself with another cause, however worthwhile that cause may be.

STARKSBORO — Robinson Elementary School Principal Patrick Hartnett submitted his letter of resignation to the Addison Northeast Supervisory Union on March 6, indicating that he would step down at the end of the year. He also expressed gratitude for the opportunity to helm the Starksboro school for three years.
ADDISON COUNTY — Bridport and Cornwall will each welcome new elementary school principals this summer, and neither incoming leader will have a long way to travel to get to their respective jobs.
Addison Central Supervisory Union Superintendent Peter Burrows confirmed this week the appointments of Jennefer Eaton as principal of Bridport Central School, and Jennifer Kravitz as the new leader of Cornwall's Bingham Memorial School.

BRIDPORT — Addison Central Supervisory Union officials are reporting a substantial number of applications from candidates seeking to fill principal vacancies at the Bridport and Cornwall elementary schools.
Peter Burrows, ACSU superintendent, confirmed the district has received 25 applications for the top administrative job at Bridport Central School and another 19 from those wishing to lead Cornwall's Bingham Memorial School. Burrows said school directors in both towns plan to interview finalists for their respective principal vacancies next month.
SHOREHAM — After spending more than a decade teaching music in the classroom, Michael Lenox is ready to play a new tune — as top administrator of Shoreham Elementary School.
Lenox, 37, is beginning what he hopes will be a lengthy tenure as principal of Shoreham Elementary, succeeding James Ross.
"I am very excited about this opportunity," Lenox said during an interview on Thursday.
ADDISON — The Addison Central School Board on Thursday accepted the recommendation of its search committee and Addison Northwest Supervisory Union Superintendent Tom O'Brien to bring aboard Vergennes Union High School French teacher Matthew DeBlois as the school's new principal.
MONKTON — The Monkton Central School board will hold a special meeting to hear from the public and discuss whether or not to renew the contract of the school's principal.
The renewal of Principal Susan Stewart's contract is being closely watched by some in the community after about half of the teachers at the school left at the end of the last school year.
The special meeting has not yet been scheduled.
VERGENNES — The new Vergennes Union Elementary School principal has degrees from Middlebury College and the University of Vermont, is now serving as the president of the Vermont Principals' Association and has nine years of administrative experience at Mount Abraham Union and Proctor Junior/Senior high schools.
Those and other impressive bullet points on June Sargent's résumé helped her stand out among 16 candidates and three finalists for the job, said VUES board chairwoman Tara Brooks.
BRISTOL — After five years at Mount Abraham Union High School, Co-Principal Leon Wheeler will step down at the end of this school year to take up the head post at Winooski High School.
The decision was based on economic reasons, commuting distance and the opportunity to lead a diverse and developing school, said Wheeler.

The procurement of state of the art game viewing vehicles with stretched wheel base cabins ,half cut doors and convertible canvas top will certainly make both day and night game drives a completely new experience in the UWA managed protected areas.
We can now comfortably declare that a unique product known as Night game drives is another addition to the several innovations by UWA and visitors cannot wait to sight nocturnal animals and birds at a close range.
The largely successful Big Birding events climaxing into the Big Birding Festival on October 26,2013 further raised the profile of Uganda as a prime birding destination and the resolve by UWA to develop birding as a key tourism product.
During the month, UWA also participated in the high profile Kampala festival showcasing her unique attractions and services. The comprehensive repairs and servicing of the Paraa ferry in Murchison Falls National Park, a new baby gorilla born in Nyakagezi group and the interception of huge quantities of ivory by the law enforcement staff were all good news for tourism and conservation.
We congratulate the Miss Tourism Uganda and are committed to supporting her efforts in marketing Uganda as a country gifted by nature locally and internationally and finally call upon everybody to utilize this opportunity of the discounted gorilla tracking permit rates in November to visit our coveted mountain gorillas in Bwindi and Nyakagezi national parks.

There are numerous debates over whether the earth's climate is changing; who or what may be changing it; and what may be some of the symptoms of that change. Amidst that, new research from Ricarda Winkelmann and other researchers from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, may shed some light on the foreseeable symptoms of climate change, and dispel one of the more positive myths.
As our atmosphere warms, its ability to carry greater levels of moisture increases, which has lead to increased snowfall in the Antarctic. Many believe that this would make the Antarctic ice sheet grow. Many scientists feel that this increased Antarctic snow will counteract the melting of ice sheets in the Arctic, resulting in minimal to zero rise in sea-level, as a result of climate change. According to Winkelmann and her team, Antarctica may not provide such a counterbalance.
Winkelmann's team found that snowfall and Antarctic ice discharge work in concert with each other. Snow falls and piles up on the continent. This exerts pressure on the ice-sheets below, pushing the ice-sheets out to the ocean more and more as the snow accumulates. The research team found that thirty to sixty percent of snow collecting on the continent is actually offset by underlying ice being pushed out to sea by that very snow. This by itself would not be alarming as the influx of new water from Antarctic snowfall is still greater than the flow of ice into the ocean. Sadly, this is not the only factor that affects how ice sheets melt into the ocean.
Winklemann explains that this shows, for now, that Antarctica is collecting more ice than it discharges, but not at the level we once thought, and that this will not always be the case. Increasing sea temperatures and shifts in ocean currents also act to speed up ice-melt in the Antarctic. The research team demonstrates that over the last 10 years the net rate at which Antarctic ice grows has slowly but steadily been shrinking. They show that as oceanographic processes change in the Southern Ocean, Antarctic ice will melt faster than snow collects.
This has strong implications for areas sensitive to a rising sea-level. As sea-level rise becomes a greater concern for coastal communities, it will grow consistently more important to monitor ice discharge from the Antarctic, so that we may gain a better idea of when and how areas will need to adapt to sea-level rise.

The Romance Of Tiffany Jewelry: Tiffany Somerset Heart RingCategories:Jewelry & Watches
How can you make that special ring for that special someone even better? Make that special ring Tiffany jewelry, that's how! I love this charming replica Tiffany heart ring that PV just released.
The intricate silver mesh backdrop is the perfect setting for such a lovely center piece – a silver heart! Have a look at the original – I can't tell the difference between the two and that's exactly what you want in a great replica – great materials, a sweet design, a great price, and an execution that makes it look authentic.
One of the nicest things about the Tiffany jewelry at PV is how affordable it is. For under $50 you can get yourself a beautiful slice of Tiffany, replica of course, which looks and feels real. Not bad, eh? Couple this lovely ring with one of the Gucci handbags we already featured this week and you're at least halfway to accessory heaven!

As usual, audiences largely stayed away from movie theaters over Labor Day weekend. Still, supernatural thriller The Possession easily took first place with one of the best debuts ever for the holiday. Lawless was a distant second, while Oogieloves In The BIG Balloon Adventure registered one of the worst nationwide openings ever. For the four-day weekend the Top 12 earned $109.5 million, which is roughly on par with last Labor Day weekend. The Possession scared up an estimated $17.7 million from 2,816 locations in its first three days in theaters. That's a bit off from recent Lionsgate supernatural horror movies The Last Exorcism ($23 million) and The Haunting in Connecticut ($23 million). Still, for Labor Day weekend this is a very strong start: in fact, the movie's $21.1 million four-day haul would be good for second place all-time among Labor Day openers behind the 2007 Halloween remake ($30.6 million). This marks the third-straight weekend that Lionsgate has held the number one position, following two-straight weeks with The Expendables 2 on top. Add in the four weekends that The Hunger Games led in March and April, and that makes seven weekends this year that belong to Lionsgate. That's tied with Sony and Universal for the most among any studio this year.Lionsgate's exit polling indicated that the audience was 59 percent female and 54 percent under the age of 25. They awarded the movie a "B" CinemaScore, which is above-average for the genre (the all-time high is a "B+"). Lawless took second place with $12.9 million over the four-day weekend. That brings its six-day total to $15 million, which is up a bit on Labor Day 2011's The Debt ($14.8 million) but noticeably behind Labor Day 2010's The American ($19.8 million). With a stacked cast that includes Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy, it's understandable that some people expected more from this, though it was always going to be held back by its period setting, thick accents, and bland visual palette.The Expendables 2 fell 33 percent to $9.03 million for the three-day weekend, and off 15 percent to $11.5 million for the four-day frame. Through Monday, the movie has earned $68.8 million, or around $14 million less than the original movie. The Bourne Legacy eased a light 23 percent to $7.2 million, which was good for fourth place. Add in its Monday gross, and the movie has now earned $98.3 million, and will pass $100 million by the end of the week. It does still look like reaching The Bourne Identity's $121.7 million is going to be tough, which has to be a disappointment for Universal Pictures.ParaNorman rounded out the Top Five with an estimated $6.57 million (down just 24 percent from last weekend). Its four-day tally is $8.97 million. The movie has now grossed a total of $40.4 million, which is about $14 million less than Coraline had made through the same point.Falling just 12 percent to $6.28 million, The Odd Life of Timothy Green had the best hold among nationwide releases this weekend. Including Monday, the movie has now earned $38.4 million through three weekends in theaters.The Dark Knight Rises also had a great hold, dipping 15 percent to $6.1 million. For the four-day weekend, the conclusion to Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy grossed $8 million, and its total is now at $433.3 million. It's poised to move up to eighth place on the all-time domestic chart by next weekend. 2016 Obama's America expanded to 1,747 locations (up from 1,091 last weekend) but still fell 14 percent to $5.6 million. That 46 percent drop in per-theater average (from $5,966 to $3,211) seems steep, but it's actually good for a divisive political documentary. For example, Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 fell 66 percent in second weekend per-theater average. Including Monday, 2016 Obama's America has now earned $20.2 million, and is on pace to ultimately pass Bowling for Columbine ($21.6 million), An Inconvenient Truth ($24.1 million) and Sicko ($24.5 million) to become the second-highest-grossing political documentary ever.It was pretty obvious that Oogieloves in the BIG Balloon Adventure wasn't going to do well, but no one expected it to open this low. The movie earned $443,901 from 2,160 locations this weekend; that tops 2008's Delgo ($511,920) for the worst debut ever for a movie in more than 2,000 theaters. It also had the second-worst per-theater average for a movie in nationwide release at just $206. To put that in perspective, if each location played Oogieloves five times a day on one screen at an average ticket price of $7, that would translate to fewer than two people per showing.Discuss this story with fellow Box Office Mojo fans on Facebook.

Howard, Red Wings edge Blackhawks for series lead
Detroit, MI – Jimmy Howard was stellar with a 39-save effort on Monday night to help the Detroit Red Wings take a 3-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 3 of this Western Conference semifinal series.
Pavel Datsyuk, Gustav Nyquist and Drew Miller all scored goals for the Red Wings, who now hold a 2-1 lead in this series thanks to consecutive wins after dropping the series opener.
"Our hard work has been paying off," said Howard. "Guys have been taking the body and blocking shots. We're playing with a lot of heart right now and we have to keep it going."
Patrick Kane had the lone goal while Corey Crawford gave up all three goals on 30 shots for the Blackhawks, who were partially undone by an 0-for-4 effort on the power play.
"They're playing really well right now and have a lot of things going their way," said Kane. "We just have to re-group because I thought we played very well tonight. It's going to be a good series."
Game 4 of this best-of-seven set will take place on Thursday night in Detroit.
Chicago controlled play for much of the first period, outshooting Detroit 15-9. Despite the disparity in shots and two power play chances, the Blackhawks were unable to get any through Howard.
The Hawks had another power play early in the second period when Brendan Smith was whistled for holding 54 seconds in. The team kept the puck in the Detroit end for much of the advantage, and a good chunk of time after the penalty expired, but was unable to get any quality chances on net.
Detroit finally took advantage of Howard's hard work and took the lead at 7:49 of the second.
Damien Brunner dumped the puck out of his zone and Nyquist caught up to it along the right wing. He then skated through the middle and over to the left where he snapped a wrister past a diving Crawford for his second of the playoffs.
Just 31 seconds later, the Red Wings increased their lead as Cory Emmerton picked off a weak clear at the left point and fed it to Patrick Eaves at the low left side. Eaves' first shot was stopped as was his second, but the rebound sat behind Crawford and Miller pushed it in for his first of the playoffs.
A Niklas Hjalmarsson hit on Johan Franzen in the Chicago end led to a turnover as Duncan Keith was able to flip the puck out of his zone. The disc got over a Red Wing and Kane caught up to it in the Detroit end, snapping the rolling puck past Howard for his second of the playoffs at 4:35 of the third.
Just over a minute later Chicago had a goal waived off as Viktor Stalberg fired a shot on net from the right side that got in, but Andrew Shaw was ruled to have interfered with Howard.
Detroit got its two-goal lead back at 6:46 as Smith skated the puck in through the right side and drew several defenders to him before firing the puck over to the left for Datsyuk, who banged a wrister off the pipe in the back of the cage for his third of the playoffs.
The Red Wings caught a break a minute later as Stalberg beat Howard on a short breakaway, but his shot caught the post and stayed out.
Chicago did itself in the rest of the way, taking four minors in the third period that didn't lead to any Detroit goals, but did keep the team from attacking.
Howard finished the third period with 16 stops to give the Red Wings the series lead.
Game Notes
Detroit went 0-for-5 on the power play as Chicago has now killed off all 29 shorthanded situations it has faced in the postseason ... Nine different Detroit players registered a point in this contest ... This is the 16th time these two teams have met in the postseason, with Chicago winning eight. Detroit, though, has won the past two.

fun. Deliver Energetic 'Some Nights' Performance on 'SNL'
fun. appeared on 'Saturday Night Live' over the weekend, treating viewers to a performance of their latest hit, 'Some Nights.' Singer Nate Ruess, who apparently forgot to remove his trench coat, bounced around the stage as the band cranked up the energy factor for the late-night audience.
Ruess sang the opening two lines a cappella, in contrast to the studio version of the track, which features a wall of voices backing up Ruess. The rest of the group finally joined in on vocals when the Lion King-style beat kicked in before the next verse.
We're still not sure what Ruess means with those lyrics about his lips building a castle, finding martyrs in his bed, and people coming to jack his style, but he seemed passionately behind them during his intense performance. During the band's second performance slot on the show, the guys opted to play their next single, 'Carry On' rather than their months-old No. 1 hit 'We Are Young.'
Both the 'Some Nights' single and the album of the same name got to No. 3 on the charts. fun. have extended their current concert tour into early 2013.

Mom Mistakenly Slaps Wrong Kid At Son's School
SPARTANBURG, SC (FOX Carolina) –
A Spartanburg mom went to pick up her son at school because he was suspended and mistakenly slapped the wrong boy before assaulting her son, deputies said.
Spartanburg County deputies said 36-year-old Tyshekka Collier went to pick up her son from Fairforest Middle School Wednesday morning after he was suspended and when she walked into the school's office, she slapped a boy who was sitting on the couch thinking it was her son.
The boy she slapped was waiting for his mom to pick him up because he was sick, deputies said.
When she realized her mistake, deputies said Collier apologized, walked over to her son then slapped him for getting in trouble. According to the arrest warrant, Collier hit her son in the head and face with both her hand, knocking him to the ground.
FOX Carolina spoke with the sick student and his mother, who said when she arrived at the school and was greeted by her son saying, "Mamma, I've been slapped."
Shelly Williams said her son does not look like Collier's.
"I know my child don't look like her child," Williams said. "I know her child ain't the same size as my child, so what was her problem?"
Deputies said they placed Collier's three children in emergency protective custody after talking with witnesses and everyone involved.
Collier was arrested and charged with disturbing a school and two counts of third-degree assault and battery. She was released from jail on bond.

In Germany a custom balancer was produced for sale by the original hobbyists for a while, with newer components.

This system tries to track the battery charge amount with indicators of available running charge. The problem did not affect balancer based interfaces. The fancy proprietary adapter on Lithium Power Inc. batteries also handles it.
glnc222 wrote:The NiMh charging algorithms are convoluted compared to lithium charging.
glnc222 wrote:The single cell balancer in Germany simply bypassed the cell thorough a resistor when the applied voltage is at or above the maximum, and through a series stack all the way to ground. A comparator controls mosfet switches. A cell in the middle incompletely charged would continue to charge with the bypass current.

Rand Paul Is Still Waiting for Obama To Call Him
Free market hero (and Senator-elect!) Rand Paul was on CBS's Face the Nation today to talk about things. He said he didn't like "the language" Obama used during the BP oil spill, and he's still waiting for a congratulatory phonecall.
Rand again takes issue with Obama's statement about putting the "boot heel" on BP's throat during the oil spill because it sends the wrong message to gigantic corporations that violate laws for profit. He uses the figure that one in ten businesses fail, and that we Americans need to encourage entrepreneurs, not threaten them with nasty anti-business speak. Inside every home in America there's a little billionaire oil company CEO just waiting to get out, and threatening BP on national TV might push them to become teachers or venture into some other socialist vocation, right?
In the interview, Rand does say his kids want to play with the Obama girls, so that's kinda cute and everything. Watch Rand get burned when host Bob Schieffer says David Axelrod told him that Obama had called every newly-elected senator. Everyone except for Rand Paul, that is.

The actress, her husband and kids enjoy a day at the amusement park
They went to Disneyland!
Reese Witherspoon took kids Ava, 12, and Deacon, 7, husband Jim Toth and members of her extended family to the iconic theme park in Anaheim, Calif., on Saturday.
The actress, 35, and her kids wore mouse ears as they navigated the park with the help of a special escort.
Witherspoon, Toth and her kids also took the plunge on Splash Mountain (pictured) and rode the Matterhorn Bobsleds, and she and son Deacon also went for a spin on the Mad Tea Party attraction, as Toth and Ava watched from the sidelines.

Breastfeeding Past 3 Years
Ann Sinnott is writing a book about breastfeeding older children and she needs to speak to mums with that experience.
"As the book is nearing completion, I thought I'd invite mothers who haven't previously participated in my surveys (including the online survey) to do so now. Any interested mothers should email me at email@example.com with their name in the subject field, and let me know their country and the ages of any currently breastfeeding children, and the ages of any that have weaned (last feed), by 14 Aug 09.
Am especially interested in mothers bfdg 3yr olds and older. Mothers feeding younger children who intend/wish to continue until their children are older, are also welcome to participate.
If, as an individual mother, you previously took part in one of the surveys, I'd be grateful for an update on your breastfeeding status. Email me details, with your name in subject field so that I can easily correlate with your previous submission.
If you cannot remember whether or not you have previously taken part, just send info to email@example.com.
Many thanks for your continued co-operation. By the way both Sheila Kitzinger and Naomi Stadlen (What Mothers Do) have read the typescript and commented favourably.
Best wishes

Sitting in the police chief interviews Monday night I could not help but choose the applicant I thought would be a good fit for the city.
The three interviews lasted around 30 minutes each. Not a lot can be said in 30 minutes. But I found myself impressed with the qualifications and passion for police work in the first two applicants William Roehl and Michael Uher.
Each man brought an abundance of experience and resources to the table. As the council members questioned them I assumed they were as impressed as I was.
History has a way of repeating itself.
Don't believe me?
Then look at what happened with the recent LaFollette Police Chief selection. There were a slew of qualified candidates vying for the position. A position that will entail curtailing a meth epidemic, raising the morale of the officers and battling the city council for autonomy
The Power of Encouragement
The writer of Hebrews said, "Encourage one another daily" (3:13, NIV). The apostle Paul said, "Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." Philippians 2:4, NIV. The word encourage means "to inspire with hope or confidence." We should all find ways to exercise the power of encouragement.
It happened in less than a minute.
The LaFollette City Council meeting was called to order and the next thing you knew the LaFollette Police Chief had stepped down to a Lieutenant's position.
Well I'm not buying it.
Lynch wanted that job.
He applied for it less than two years ago and appeared to be doing his best. So why would he step down?
Again, we have a situation where elected leaders should be quoting Oscar Wilde- the only thing worse than not getting what you want is getting what you want.
Just ask the LaFollette City Council.
In May 2009 it wanted James Lynch to run the city's police force. He was picked from a sizeable pool of applicants. While he was the only one among them who was currently serving on the LPD force, there were others who possessed the management experience Lynch lacked.

Though it's not official, signs point to Alex Smith starting for the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night.
A four-part series on player health and safety with reporter Andrea Kremer aired Tuesday through Friday on NFL Network:
Tuesday: Football's safety issues
Wednesday: Virginia Tech's helmet technology, The "Hit System"
Thursday: Inside Darrelle Revis' rehab
Friday: The lack of common safety standards in youth football
» For more information on player health and safety, visit NFLEvolution.com.
The quarterback -- who suffered a concussion on Sunday -- practiced in a black (non-contact) jersey for a fourth consecutive day on Saturday, according to Matt Barrows of The Sacramento Bee.
Barrows wrote that Smith's Saturday practice "suggests that he's playing on Monday but doesn't quite clinch it."
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said Friday that Smith was making "some progress," but added it's "in the doctor's hands." The quarterback is listed as questionable.
Smith was knocked out of the Niners' 24-24 tie with the St. Louis Rams after taking a hit to the back of the helmet at the end of a 4-yard scramble. He completed a touchdown drive, but didn't return after telling the team he was experiencing blurred vision.
The 6-2-1 Niners face the 7-2 Chicago Bears in a conference showdown on Monday night. Jason Campbell will start for the Bears in place of Jay Cutler, who suffered a concussion of his own in Week 10.

2. Be aware of food cravings, particularly for sugary or starchy snacks, from creamy candies to salty, crunchy chips. Watch for the foods, nutrients, and lifestyle habits that cut your cravings.
3. Address any underlying issue that may be causing cravings, whether it's candida, habitual low blood sugar, or some other type of imbalance.
4. Apply the False Fat Diet Program so you can discover your food reactions, reduce your food cravings, and clear other health conditions.
5. Learn to use the rotation diet to minimize any allergies - and keep your meals interesting and tasty by trying new healthy foods and meal combinations.
6. Cut out junk food--if you don't buy it, you won't eat it. Carry healthy foods and snacks to consume when you need to eat. Buy wholesome snacks for yourself and your family, chosen from foods low on the Glycemic Index, such as apples and plums, nuts and seeds, or popcorn.
7. During any type of weight reducing diet, weigh yourself only once or twice a week to avoid weight obsessions. Pay attention more to how you look and feel. To avoid feeling deprived, allow yourself to indulge once a week.
8. And remember to Exercise on a regular basis.
9. If you're looking for snacks or find yourself becoming obsessed with food, change the pace. Do something productive ? take a break, take a walk, or call a friend. Then, plan the right snack or meal for you.
10. If you still feel hungry, bloated, or heavier than you want, there may be an underlying physical problem. Seek the help of a healthcare professional with training in nutrition and preventive medicine.

The Daily Orange is the student-run campus newspaper of Syracuse University. Founded in 1903, the newspaper became independent from the university in 1971- which means we do not receive any money or oversight from the university - and has remained independent since then. The D.O. prints Monday through Thursday during the entire academic year and has a staff of over 30 editors.
In order for students to get the most out of their time at the paper, and best prepare for the professional world after The Daily Orange, there are projects that would benefit from more funding. These are goals that will enhance The D.O. as a valued learning institution. Below is a list of projects that you can donate toward to expand the education of our students, and so The Daily Orange can continue to be one of the best college newspapers in the nation. We greatly appreciate any contribution that you are able to make.
Checks can be made out to The Daily Orange, and mailed to:
The Daily Orange
744 Ostrom Ave.
Syracuse, NY 13210
The Daily Orange is a 501c3 tax exempt organization. All donations are tax deductible. A recognition letter for tax purposes will be sent after donation is received.
Below is a wish list of projects that you can donate toward to expand the education of our students, and so The Daily Orange can continue to be one of the best college newspapers in the nation. Our Wish List includes staff salaries, the sports travel fund, two new computers, Adobe Cloud Software and a basement photo studio. We greatly appreciate any contribution that you are able to make.
Staff Salaries
D.O. staff salaries have been reduced for the time being because of our tight budget. But our staffers are working harder than ever. We are reimagining how The D.O. approaches online content with our newly-launched web staff. We have created task forces to assess alternative news media models so we can adapt as the field of journalism changes. And we are still writing, photographing and designing award-winning content. The D.O. needs to be able to pay full salaries in order to further staff development and ensure the most talented staff members are able to work regardless of their financial situation. This is a priority for The D.O., and we would appreciate any contributions. We would like to raise $10,000 for this project.Goal: $10,000
Sports Travel Fund
The ability to travel to Syracuse away games is something that has set the D.O's sports coverage apart from other publications. It's something we need to continue so our staff can keep providing in-depth, compelling coverage of teams that students and the community have repeatedly shown they are interested in reading about. To do the best work possible, D.O. sports needs to be able to continue to travel to away games. We would like to raise $5,650 for this project.Goal: $5,650
Two New Computers
Some of our current computers haven't been replaced since 2007, and are notorious for malfunctioning. They will randomly shut down or show a blank screen, and various keyboards are known to stop working. The design staff needs these computers to create the print paper. When our staff has to try and bring an outdated computer back to life they lose valuable time that should be spent editing, writing and learning. New computers would allow us to save time and work with up-to-date technology. We would like to raise $900 to buy two Microsoft computers.Goal: $900
Adobe CC InDesign, Illustrator & Photoshop
The D.O.'s outdated copies of InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop quit randomly while designers are working. This slows down production and limits the work designers can get done before deadline. Plus, The D.O. is a learning institution, and it's important that our staff is taking away valuable skills from their work. While our outdated copies of InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop might be a lesson in patience, our designers aren't getting the chance to practice the newest softwares that populate the workplace they hope to move into. We would like to raise $2,100 for this project.Goal: $2,100
In-House Photo Studio
D.O. photographers have to book time in the Syracuse University photo studios if they need studio access. Unfortunately, the rest of the photographers at SU book the Syracuse studios as well. Basically, we have limited access, and that affects our content. Some strong art ideas have not been used simply because there was no available studio time to take the shots. A separate studio, complete with all the necessary equipment to do a shoot – built in the extra space of The D.O. basement – would eliminate that problem. It would also encourage our photo staff to get creative and work ahead to try new and interesting photo ideas. The studio would include basic backdrops and lights. We would like to raise $1,500 for this project.Goal: $1,500
147 donors
$20,150 donated of $20,150 goal
May 21, 2016 deadline
- Salary: $9,963
- Computers: $900
- Sports: $5,650

NE1 Toolbar: Clean Up Messy Code
Posted by , Last modified by on 17 December 2010 03:26 PM
Almost any web builder uses a programming technique which allows it to automatically insert special bits of code called "tags" into the background coding (HTML) of your pages. These tags are necessary for the proper formatting of the pages, fonts, spacing, etc. However, it is nearly impossible for a web builder to properly locate all of these tags when the corresponding text is deleted or edited. As a result, the excess tags build up over time and the pages begin to do unpredictable things.
The NE1 web builder has a simply method for cleaning up this code. Clicking the "Clean up messy code" icon will take care of excess tags and misbehaving content.
