The biggest change in the 2005 University of Georgia Tomato Spotted Virus Wilt Index for Peanuts is that it will be combined for the first time this year with the university's risk index for fungal diseases of peanuts.
"As usual, we made a couple of changes in peanut varieties, including adding varieties and re-assigning points on some varieties," says Steve L. Brown, University of Georgia Extension entomologist. "But the major thing we're doing this year is combining the tomato spotted wilt virus index with the fungal disease index.
"We thought combining the two indexes would be a great benefit to growers. Some of the factors are the same in both indexes. The final point tally in the combined index will indicate your relative risk to tomato spotted wilt virus, white mold or leafspot, and rhizoctonia limb rot."
The tomato spotted virus risk index, first developed in 1996, combines what is known about individual risk factors into a comprehensive but simple estimate of tomato spotted wilt risk for a given field. It assigns a relative importance to each factor so that an overall level of risk can be estimated.
The fungal disease index, modeled after the tomato spotted wilt risk index, assigns points to each production variable in the categories of leafspot diseases, white mold and rhizoctonia limb rot. Growers then can evaluate the potential risk in a given field and use this information in preparing for disease in a coming season as "low," "medium" or "high."
As for the tomato spotted wilt portion of the combined risk index, Brown says changes for 2005 will be limited to peanut varieties. "We're moving most of the varieties formerly in the 20-point category into the 25-point group. These include Georgia Green, Southern Runner ViruGard, Gregory and VC-2," he says.
The change, says Brown isn't an indication that the varieties have become more susceptible to tomato spotted wilt virus. "As new varieties are introduced, we're trying to move them around to reflect their relative susceptibility. We have varieties coming in that are so low that they require a 10-point category. And, in the future, we might have a five-point category.
"We're certainly not saying that Georgia Green is any more susceptible or that it is losing its resistance to the virus. It's our position that Georgia Green's resistance is just as good now as when it was first introduced. We're just re-positioning everything on the scale," he says.
The other two peanut varieties in the 20-point category in 2004 — ANorden and Andru II will stay at 20, says Brown. Two varieties — Georgia O2C and Georgia 01R — will be moved from the 15-point category to 10 points. In addition, Georgia 03L will be added at 15 points.
Although it isn't yet official, a new variety — expected to be named "Tift Runner" — could be added to the 10-point category. Final changes to the variety list include the removal of Florunner and Georgia Hi-OL. "We felt it was no longer necessary to keep those two varieties on the list."
The development of new, resistant varieties continues to be a major weapon in the battle against tomato spotted wilt virus, says Brown. "A variety in the 10 or 15-point category could give us a lot of flexibility in using some of these other index factors. For example, we might not have to depend on planting date so much with some of these new varieties. But, we still don't know how well they will be accepted agronomically because of the length of their growing season, yield potential, or other characteristics."
Brown says he and the other researchers involved in revising the index saw no need to change the planting date category, which currently shows the ideal planting window at May 11-25. Prior to May 1 is assigned 30 points, May 1-10 is assigned 15 points, May 11-25 gets five points, May 26-June 5 gets 10 points, and after June 5 is assigned 20 points.
As with other categories in the risk index, the higher point totals indicate a higher risk to the virus.
"We see a trend continuing that the tail-end of the planting window has not had as much risk as we've assigned to it in the past couple of years. But we're not ready yet to change that. The planting date effects change so much every year anyway, and we want to see more on that before we make a change to the index."
This past year was the worst for tomato spotted wilt virus in peanuts in the last three to four years, says Brown. "The virus was severe in some fields. The planting date seemed to be a strong factor in 2004. Early planted peanuts definitely had more virus than the later-planted peanuts.
"Anything planted in April or the first week in May tended to have a lot of virus, and we saw some fairly substantial yield losses in those fields. Luckily, we planted a lot of our crop after that time period."
Brown says no one is sure why the virus was more severe in 2004 than in past years. "There are theories. Some people speculate that maybe we're settling into an every-other-year cycle because 2002 was bad while the virus was practically non-existent in 2003 and it's back again in 2004. But there's no scientific basis for that assumption."
Researchers believe that weather may possibly have some effect on the severity of the virus, as it is transmitted by thrips from plant to plant throughout the winter season, and as it over-winters on different weed species.
"Our plant pathology department has conducted a survey in recent years in which they've looked at winter weed populations in February and March in an attempt to determine the level of tomato spotted wilt virus in some of these wild hosts. We're not sure if this always will be the case. But in the last few years, it has been a good indicator of what kind of virus year we're going to experience.
"We found of lot of the virus in the winter weeds in 2002 and 2004, and we didn't find it in 2003. We'll continue to look at this to see how well the theory holds up from year to year. Potentially, this would give us an early warning system. And, if we developed enough confidence in it, we could tell growers if the situation for tomato spotted wilt virus is going to be bad or good. Subsequently, growers would have some indication if they needed to follow the index closely that year and try to get their point total down to the lowest possible, or if they could back off and do some other things."

シムーン (starts April 2006)
Since I couldn't find a thread for this upcoming yuri anime...
Synopsis from AnimeBlogger.net:
Now, a question:
Some sources suggest that the anime is based on an original work by Jin Seob Song - certainly, the title and the term "siwula" sound much more Korean than Japanese. I've tried Googling with my best guess at the hangul, but I haven't hit anything obvious like a manhwa. Can any Korean-speakers shed light on the origins of this series?
I'm looking forward for this :) yuri goodness :D
I applaud their style. That, and that first screenshot looks pretty cool. Though if I lived my life as a woman and lesbianism was commonplace and accepted, why the heck would I wanna be a guy? It'd be scary.
Though maybe having them have to make that descision at the start of adulthood (which for an anime character is about 10 years old) is a bad idea because of the misc rebellious phase.
Some images from the manga:
http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/2...30032ws.th.jpg http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/8...30046ib.th.jpg http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/9...30069rx.th.jpg
Thanks Ialdaboth for the images ;)
I just hope they make the planes nice designs. (The girls' designs are a given ^_^)
Haven't they perfected ovular merging already? If that's the case there would be no need for males.
Now is this written for real lesbians or by some fanboy with wild imagination? Come to think of it, the premise seems to have more in common with subconscious male fantasies of becoming a girl, piloting jet fighters, and humping other girls, than anything lesbian.
Comic Yurihime must be a magazine for yuri lovers of both genders.
"ED performance: Savage Genius" <----- wheeeee!
But don't ask me to link to that interview that was quite some time ago.
Seriously though, this is why I want to know more about Jin Seob Song and his(?) original work. Still haven't found anything, although I have a suspicion about where the title may have come from.
The official site has a whole new look today, with art from the anime rather than the manga.They've also added some on-air info.
You know a show is going to be mecha-heavy when the site has a dedicated Mechanics page. Another KnM, anyone? :)
Or a yuri version of Last Exile.
Another site update - the characters page is now up.
Hey! I wonder. If you blow on the tail of that ship will the swirly part unravel forward and make a "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" sound? Like those things they have at kid's parties?
Seriously though, after seeing more of the designs thanks to your links I'm not looking quite forward to this. April's gonna be one great season it seems.
And it's a minor thing but what is it about that blonde girl's face? Is her mouth just a tad bit too wide? Is it the style of blush? Something just makes her face look different than all the other characters.
Other Simoun tidbits:
For anyone not following the New Announced Anime thread, a preliminary trailer has been spotted.
The first episode title is 堕ちた翼 Dachita Tsubasa, which appears to translate as "Fallen Wing(s)". I'm confused about the translation of the first word though: 堕 da doesn't seem to be a word in its own right, and from my minimal knowlege of Japanese grammar I don't see how you'd construct 堕ちた from the nearest compound 堕する dasuru (meaning "descend to" or "lapse into"). Unless ちた is from the verb ちる chiru meaning "fall", and 堕 adds a moral connotation of it being a fall from grace?
I started this thread with the speculation that the words simoun and siwula might be Korean, but I now think that's wrong. Going by the aircraft name mentioned previously, simoun is more likely derived from the Arab word for "sandstorm". Interestingly, a related word qibli might also be familiar to anime fans...
Siwula meanwhile appears to be a common Polish surname. It is neither widely known nor true that its inclusion in the series is due to the director, Junji "Stan" Nishimura, having played jazz trombone with the famous Blaise Siwula (scroll down to May 2002 for details on one of their gigs).
I love the art is very good, :) I hope it does have a good storyline
I just heard of something. This series is produced by the same people who did Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito?
I hate the ending of Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito. :mad: Worst ending I have ever seen. Guess I won't be joining the party. and just wait and see me eat my own word.
I hope it is going to be just 13 ep. Most shows will just drag on if they are more than 13 ep.
Really? I liked the ending and I'm anxious to see what the specialbox contains that comes out on the 24th.
Even if the show just boils down to yuriservice, I at least hope the character interactions are good and the action is done better than it was in Yami to Boushi.
I don't get the logic behind not trying something because it's too short. To me, that would be all the more reason to try something (Like for example, my favorite movies happen to be short and sweet in 90 minutes and not drag on to 3 hours). Definitely, if producers are sure of the audience they will put more budget for more length, but since this is definitely in the realm of hardcore tastes, they play it safe as any good anime business should.
Then again, if this does turn out to be 24 or 26 eps someone should shoot me -_-.
And I like Yamibou's Ending. :D To me, a good ending doesn't necessarily be one that you expected or most wanted. An unexpected ending is justified.
I'm not bashing off the series or something but still not even a single production is backed up this show when some of the shows that will start in April even have three productions. But still I do think that this anime won't be as short as Strawberry Panic(yet another over-hyped media-work's yuri anime).

Released towards the end of last year, Matteo Pericoli's book The City Out My Window gives us all an illustrated glimpse of the views from New Yorkers' homes and offices.
Here at Apartment Therapy we focus on the views inside people's homes more than the views from the inside to the outside. Pericoli's exquisitely detailed drawings lend a more intimate feeling to the view than even a photograph could and reveal an otherwise secret peek into these New Yorkers lives. Pericoli goes one step further and asks them to comment on the views. Some declined — feeling it was too personal — while others oblige.

What is the difference between carahell and some generic crystal 10?
I want one this spring, and think it is time to brew it up.I have looked at the recipes here and elsewhere and had a couple questions.I am thinking about using S-189, and wondering if anyone uses that for a helles or maibock? Bad idea?and then the hops, I was thinking about using what I have access to in the freezer which would be Perle and Mt Hood.not sure if not having any Tett or Haller is a deal breaker. I guess this would be an americanized version, but would it work?Thanks in advance for any guidance.Cheers.
Yep, this pseudo winter will be over before you know it.

Dynamic DNS updater
From NAS-Central Buffalo - The Linkstation Wiki
This article
Based on work by flavoie
at Linkstationwiki.org
Sites like www.dyndns.org allow you to use names like mysite.homelinux.com mysite.dyndns.org instead of your IP address, even if your IP address changes all the time as is often the case with DSL connections. For a list of available Free DNS services you can try these Dynamic DNS providers.
- Get an account at www.dyndns.org Write down your dyndns.org username and password, you'll need it for the dyndns updater configuration. Just for simplicity, let's assume you created "MyOwnDyndnsAccount" with a "MyOwnDyndnsPassword" password.
- Create a Dynamic DNS entries at dyndns.org.
example: 3 names mysite1.homelinux.com mysite2.homelinux.com mysite3.homelinux.com
- Get on your Linkstation using telnet or ssh apt-get install ddclient
apt-get install ddclient
- You'll get a few questions from the installer (don't remember the exact order):
- The interface: "web". You'll need to change that later.
- username:"MyOwnDyndnsAccount"
- password:"MyOwnDyndnsPassword"
- Dyndns hosts list: use commas "," between the Dyndns host names: mysite1.homelinux.com,mysite2.homelinux.com,mysite3.homelinux.com"
- you'll need to modify the file directly for the "use=" line, here's a sample that works
(change "use if=..." to "use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.org"):
Linkstation:/etc# more ddclient.conf pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid protocol=dyndns2 use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.org server=members.dyndns.org login=MyOwnDyndnsAccount password=MyOwnDyndnsPassword mysite1.homelinux.com,mysite2.homelinux.com,mysite3.homelinux.com
Here is another example for a ddclient.conf, with additional settings for OpenDNS:
# /etc/ddclient.conf daemon=300 # check every 300 seconds syslog=yes # log update msgs to syslog pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid ssl=yes use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.com/, web-skip='Current IP Address: ' #DynDNS for [dyndns_host_name, e.g. bob.ath.cx or bob.dyndns.org] server=members.dyndns.org protocol=dyndns2 login=MyOwnDyndnsAccountName password=MyOwnDyndnsPassword mysite.homelinux.com #Dynamic IP for OpenDNS account server=updates.opendns.com protocol=dyndns2 login=MyOpenDNSAccountName password=MyOpenDNSPassword MyOpenDNSLabelName #You an find it at https://www.opendns.com/dashboard/networks/

I don't usually get rescued, but when I do, I choose the Blue and Gold line...
So one of my rear (!) lines snapped this Sunday on my bar while kiting at Crissy (yellow RPM if you happened to see me) . I was in the process of cleaning up my situation when one of the big tourist tubs came by and starting circling me. They were listing slightly to port as 400 tourists crowded to snap a picture of a kitesurfer in trouble. They circled me twice, and to my surprise the captain offered me a ride! I gladly accepted as the ebb was ripping, and I was pretty close to the bridge.
They lowered a little net, I got all my gear on board, and then flopped myself into the middle of the lower deck to the applause of about thirty people. Everybody was super-nice and the lady behind the bar offered me a drink on her. I posed with a dozen tourists or so for photos, and then hung out on the bridge with the captain for the rest of the tour until they dropped me at pier 41.
Anyway, super nice crew, and friendly folks. I didn't think those guys picked up kiters, but they will in a pinch. They said they used to pick up windsurfers all the time back in the day and had a special ramp to slide up windsurf gear back then.
That's my Sunday story.

As growers prepare fields for a new season of crops, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services stresses caution in using fumigants.
Fumigants are pesticides that are applied as gas to fields, usually before crops are planted. They are used mainly for vegetables, nursery stock and other high-value crops.
"Failure to use fumigants properly can harm you, your workers and the environment," said Jim Burnette, administrator of the NCDA&CS Pesticide Section. "Fumigants are used safely on a daily basis, but certain precautions must be followed to protect everyone involved in or near the application."
Because fumigants can be hazardous when used improperly, several special requirements must be followed when using them. Restrictions include additional training for all users, additional soap and water to allow for a quick wash if the user is subjected to vapors from the release of a fumigant, and additional information on signs posted in the fields.
"These restrictions are mandatory for the safe use of these products and for the protection of workers that assist in the application of these products," Burnette said.
Contact the fumigant's manufacturer for information about training, he said.
Burnette urges farmers and other fumigant users to review labels for each fumigant carefully, because they periodically change and are updated with new safety precautions. People who don't follow requirements on the label could be in violation of North Carolina's pesticide law.
Environmental factors also play an important role in the safe use and satisfactory performance of fumigants. Each label addresses soil temperature or moisture conditions necessary for optimum performance and safety. Reduced soil moisture content during dry periods decreases the soil's ability to seal and keep the fumigant in the ground. Low soil temperature may also decrease the fumigant's effectiveness.
Still conditions and atmospheric inversions, which occur when air higher in the atmosphere is warmer than air below, can cause fumigants to linger in low-lying areas or settle over adjacent areas.

i think this is a weird transition period where cena is the only real full time superstar left from the old guard. the good news is they have guys like Punk, Ziggler, Sheamus, Ryback (i guess), Del Rio, & Swagger in that main event picture, and guys like Cesaro, Barrett, the Sheild, and Daniel Bryan ready to take a step up (i know bryan WAS a champ, but I wouldn't consider him a current main eventer).
then, in a few years, you have some of these GREAT guys on NXT coming in like, Kassius Ohno, Adrian Neville, Luke Harper, & Sami Zayn (former El Generico)...
There is a LOT of potential both short term and long term. the problem is that they are too scared to steer away from cena, the rock, hhh, etc... to make an effort to show these newer guys as legitimate threats. It's frustrating, but I really can't wait for like another 3 years or so when CM Punk is the old guy still hanging around on the roster, and all this talent actually gets a chance to get on TV.

Eighteen NFL stadiums still feature natural grass, and one of those stadiums is Heinz Field, the site of Sunday night's showdown between the Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
With a projected low of 35 degrees Sunday night, punter Sam Koch is hopeful that the above-freezing temperatures will keep the grass inside Heinz Field soft enough to kill punts inside the 20.
"When you watched [Monday] night with Kansas City, some of their punts when they hit the ground, they landed soft," Koch said. "And so it's one of those things where – especially going inside the 20 – there's always a good chance. Now throughout the week, the ground might be a little cold although they do have a heater underneath the field. But it's going to be soft. It usually gets torn up pretty quick, and there's a lot of extra grass like Cleveland's was. All the dirt was broken up, all the grass was broken up, so everything was really loose, which kind of provides a little dampener for when the ball hits."
Chiefs punter Dustin Colquitt placed five of his eight punts on Monday night inside the 20. In eight career visits to Heinz Field, Koch has landed 14 punts inside the 20.
Koch said despite a more natural bounce that grass provides, he didn't think he would be more aggressive with his punts to pin the Steelers closer to their own end zone.
"We're still going to try to do the same thing we do every week," he said. "But when it hits maybe the 1 or the 2, maybe we'll have a better chance of getting it than it just shotgunning off into the end zone."
Special teams coordinator Jerry Rosburg noted that the shape of the football makes it difficult to accurately predict how the ball will land. But he said that he has a lot of confidence in Koch, who is the franchise's all-time leader in career punts inside the 20 with 183.
"Sam has been training for a long time on his pooch punts, trying to get the ball inside the 10," Rosburg said of Koch, who has placed 13 punts inside the 20 this season. "You hit it and you hope for the best. That's just honestly the way that it happens. Sam's got a lot of skill and hopefully, this week, it comes to our favor."

How to Get Your Cat to Stop Meowing
Pet Peeves: My Cat Won't Stop Meowing!
Q: My kitty is a chronic meower. Every morning when I get up, she just follows me around meowing very loudly. Really, I don't mind too much, but the fact that I live in an apartment is what really troubles me. I'm scared that some of the other tenants might start to complain about her meowing so early in the morning. And it's not just friendly, tiny meows . . . these are like loud, long, irritating meows. What should I do?
A: Before I talk about ways to work through kitty's continuous meowing, there are a couple of things to check out first:
- Make sure the cat has food, water, and a clean litter box. Your kitty could simply be communicating that she wants something to be done about one of those things.
- Figure out when your cat is not meowing. Is it a certain time of day or during a certain activity? If you pay attention to kitty, does she continue to meow? When does she start again? Then, try to find a way to continue whatever activity stops the meowing (for example, if kitty consistently meows after you stop playtime, get some games for her to amuse herself with after you go to bed).
- Consider a trip to the vet. When cats are vocal, they are usually trying to communicate something to us. Check with your vet to make sure your pet is healthy. There are certain times when cats are noisier, like when they are in heat or pregnant.
Many times kitties meow for attention and many times they meow exactly when we wouldn't (or couldn't) pay attention to them. I agree with the general consensus to ignore pets when they behave in attention-seeking ways. However, the big problem with this is often times the pets don't stop immediately. That can be very frustrating, it and makes it hard not to pay attention, which just continues the cycle!
You need to try to break the cycle. If pets get a response from you by doing something (meowing, barking, etc.), they are just repeating that action to get a response again. The first rule of thumb is do not respond directly to the cat's meowing, even to get up, shush, or yell — any response counts, even if it isn't a positive one. If your pet continues to meow, try a time out. Shut the door to the room you are in and when she stops meowing, she can come play. If she meows again, back out she goes. More than anything else, this will take time and patience. Good luck!

Morgan cousin Chris sent some more wonderful family photos. To begin, here is one of Linton Morgan at his work.
Chris also sent a note about the location:
I found the place that was once Richard Linton Morgan's realty business in Oakland CA, on Google Maps, at the corner of Telegraph & 42nd. They've added a brick facade, but the [scroll] trim bit at the right of the top of the door matches, and so do the 2 vertical windows and chimney on the 2 tone house behind, across the street. The white house with the stairs is gone now.

Thank you for the photos, Chris!
A Brief Biographical Note
Linton was the oldest son of John Morgan and his third wife Mary Ann Linton Morgan. John Morgan died when Linton was three, his brother Harold two, and youngest son Mathias was six weeks old. Mary Ann moved with the three boys to live with her parents in Nephi, Utah. When Lin was twelve years old, his mother remarried David King Udall and moved to the St. Johns, Arizona, area where he and his two younger brothers were raised among the many sons of the Udall family.
Linton Morgan attended Brigham Young High School in Provo, Utah. He graduated in 1912.
When Lin was about 20 years old, he moved to Washington, D.C., where he attended Georgetown University and later George Washington Law School. When he was 26, he married 22 year old Eudora Eggertsen in the Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah. She graduated from Brigham Young High School in 1913, the year after Linton.
After his schooling, as explained in his obituary, he took a job with the Department of Labor in Washington, D.C., and in 1920 was sent to Vallejo, California, as head of the U.S. Housing Administration there. When he left that position, he practiced law in Nevada and then returned to California where he established a real estate sales business.
Linton died in 1951 in Oakland. His wife Eudora died in 1982.

Wardrobe basic: Trans-seasonal Tunic
Added Mar 20, 2013
by pambox
Sydney, Australia
I bought this fabric last year when I was planning to make my Old Hollywood Blouse. I'd loved this colour, but the fabric is very thin, so in the end I used something else.
Given how thin the fabric is, this had to be either a light cardigan or overshirt. I considered making it a light cardigan, but didn't have a pattern, and thought it'd be nice to have a top that's got longer sleeves but isn't warm. For those days where it isn't cold, but there's a little chill in the morning and evening.
I used the epaullette shirt pattern out of the 'mannish style' Japanese pattern book, but widened the front piece so I could add in the pleats for a bit of interest.

Slime pits is also pretty ok once you get expirience with it - the lack of quests was hurting those a lot.
Slime pits, though, still has the "debuff cesspool" problem of shafting several classes nastily, and sort of forcing you to go spellcaster even if you're not built for it.
At least it's a decent testing ground for power testing (mostly) pure spellcaster strats.

Kubiuk Scores For Yale
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Yale women's soccer team had the kind of start it thought it needed in Saturday's Ivy League showdown with Harvard. The Bulldogs got five shots in the first 12 minutes but couldn't capitalize. The Crimson then scored in the 14th minute, added an insurance goal on a penalty kick in the second half and held on for a 2-1 victory at Ohiri Field. Mary Kubiuk scored for Yale.
"It was a frustrating day," said Yale head coach Rudy Meredith. "I thought we played well enough to win. We had a number of chances early in the game. It easily could have been 3-0."
Corner kicks have been an issue for the Yale defense throughout the season, and Harvard took advantage of one to grab the early lead. Peyton Johnson played the ball from the corner and toward the front of the cage. Elizabeth Weisman headed the ball to her left, finding Katherine Sheeleigh who batted home the ball for her fifth goal of the season at 13:52.
It stayed 1-0 until early in the second half when Alexandra Conigliaro was taken down in the box. Conigliaro took the penalty kick and converted to give the Crimson a two-goal lead.
Kubiuk got Yale on the board late in the second half. Her initial shot was saved, but she banged in the rebound to tally her first goal of the season.
The Bulldogs (3-6-1, 0-2 Ivy) had a chance to tie with under a minute left. Enma Mullo sent a corner kick into the box. Anna McCahon got off a shot, but it was blocked, and the Crimson cleared away the rebound.
Yale finished with a 22-18 edge in shots. Both teams had four corner kicks.
Ayana Sumiyasu made six saves in goal for the Bulldogs. Jessica Wright stopped seven shots for Harvard (4-4-1, 1-1-0 Ivy).
Yale is back in action on Tuesday at Saint Peter's. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m.

Solar audits by independent experts will help businesses confirm their solar potential and estimate how much a solar installation would cost, what incentives are available, and how installing solar power would affect their electricity and water heating bills, and financial pictures.
Energy efficiency audits will help businesses identify ways to reduce their energy costs and access energy efficiency rebates.
Over the next few weeks, Mayor Gavin Newsom will be inviting San Francisco's largest 1,500 businesses to join the Solar Founders' Circle.
He says that in total these businesses have the potential to install 170 megawatts of solar power on their roofs, more than 30 times the amount of solar power currently installed across San Francisco, and enough to power 42,000 local households.
30,000 square feet of solar photovoltaic panels top the roof of the Moscone Convention Center in downtown San Francisco. (Photo courtesy SunPower)
"San Francisco has a unique opportunity to lead the nation, and our city and businesses are up to the challenge. We have already launched an aggressive 10-year incentive program to lower the costs of solar for everyone," said Mayor Newsom.
"Now we're offering businesses free solar assessments and energy efficiency audits to lower the barriers even further. I'm asking our business leaders to ramp up our efforts to build the city's renewable energy portfolio and slash our carbon footprint."
The Solar Founders' Circle program is funded in part by a $200,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar America Cities initiative, and in part by the city.
"Solar America City partnerships are helping our nation address two of the most pressing challenges we face: Improving our energy security and combating global climate change," said John Lushetsky, the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Program manager.
Mayor Newsom has set a goal for businesses to install five megawatts of solar electricity by September 2009. If this target is met, it would double San Francisco's current solar generation.
All businesses that install solar in the next year will be invited to join the Solar Founders' Circle.
Applications for new solar installations have quadrupled since GoSolarSF, San Francisco's solar rebate incentive program, was launched in July.
"Today, we have proof that if you give people the incentives to install solar panels on their home or business, they will do it," said the mayor. "And not only does this mean we're sending energy back into the grid, it means we're also creating the green collar jobs that this country desperately needs to eliminate our dependence on foreign oil."
Sixteen solar installation companies have hired or will hire graduates of workforce development programs for solar installation jobs. When they do, they can offer the $6,000 rebate to local homeowners.
Seven local workforce development programs have been approved by the Office of Economic and Workforce Development for placing workers into solar companies.
Five companies already have been fully certified because they have already hired graduates of workforce training programs. These companies deserve credit for stepping up early to ensure that GoSolarSF creates green collar jobs. They are: Borrego Solar, Luminalt, Solar City, Sun Light & Power, and Sungevity.

Senator Tweets About 'Very Uncomfortable' TSA Pat Down: 'OMG'
from the love-pats dept
Today in my airport screening, test on my hands was positive. Got private, more aggressive pat down. OMG. #veryuncomfortable— Claire McCaskill (@clairecmc) March 11, 2013
Of course, the real question is whether or not this will actually change anything at all. As some have pointed out, Senator McCaskill has been criticizing such pat downs for years (while also arguing in favor of "full body scanners") and it hasn't changed much. In some ways, it just feels like another piece of the theater act.

Wabash Launches National Study of Liberal Arts Educationby Jim Amidon • February 3, 2006 Share:
The Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts at Wabash College announces the launch of the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education. This four-year, multi-million dollar program is one of the most comprehensive national studies of the effects of American higher education. The study will focus on the impact of liberal arts education, exploring how students develop during their college years and how key educational experiences promote this development.
Researchers from the Wabash College Center of Inquiry, the University of Iowa, Miami University (Ohio), and the University of Michigan, in collaboration with ACT Inc., are working with 18 institutions from across the country on the Wabash National Study. These colleges and universities represent both private and public institutions; include religiously affiliated, single-sex, and minority-serving schools; exhibit a broad range of selectivity and tuition costs; and contain wide geographic variety. Characterizing the diversity present in higher education today, the group consists of liberal arts colleges, regional universities, research universities, and community colleges.
The participating schools are Alma College (MI), Bard College (NY), Butler University (IN), Coe College (IA), Columbia College (SC), Connecticut College (CT), Gustavus Adolphus College (MN), Hamilton College (NY), Hope College (MI), Ivy Tech Community College-Lafayette (IN), Kirkwood Community College (IA), San Josª State University (CA), University of Kentucky, University of Michigan, University of North Carolina Wilmington, University of Notre Dame (IN), Wabash College (IN), and Whittier College (CA).
Data collection and analysis for the Wabash National Study will begin in spring 2006 and continue through at least 2010. "We will follow approximately 5,500 students from the entering class of 2006 through their undergraduate years," says Charles Blaich (at right), director of inquiries at the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts. "Our goals are to learn about specific features of college life that promote student growth and to assess the impact that liberal arts education has on students."
All student participants will complete a series of surveys that collect information about their in- and out-of-classroom college experiences, measuring seven key educational outcomes: leadership, reasoning and problem solving, well-being, moral character, integration of learning, intercultural effectiveness, and lifelong learning. In addition, researchers will conduct extensive one?on?one interviews with a subset of students to further investigate their experiences. The research team will analyze campus programs and resources to determine the degree to which they influence student development. This combination of data, gathered over four college years, will provide a comprehensive examination of liberal arts education at participating institutions.
"We will look at the effects of study abroad, first-year programs, living-learning communities, teaching quality and organization, student to student interactions, and many other aspects of the students' experiences," says Blaich. "The study's findings will help liberal arts colleges and universities document and strengthen the quality of liberal arts education on their campuses. We want this research to improve learning and help make college education more effective for students across the country."
The Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education is led by the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts at Wabash College. Blaich, the study director, is collaborating with Ernest Pascarella (at left, University of Iowa), Marcia Baxter Magolda (Miami University, Ohio), Patricia King (University of Michigan), and Mike Valiga (ACT Inc.) to design and implement the study.
Founded at Wabash College in 2000, through a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc., the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts works to explore, test, and promote liberal arts education. The Center of Inquiry seeks to ensure that the nature and value of liberal arts education is widely understood and to reestablish the central place of the liberal arts in higher education.
For more information on the Wabash National Study or the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts, please visit http://liberalarts.wabash.edu or contact Dr. Blaich at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at (765) 361-6331.

Copeland's Colorful Nursery
Name: Copeland (9 months)
Location: North Carolina
Perfect timing: I found out I was pregnant and was also introduced to Pinterest. I birthed Copeland, and Pinterest birthed his nursery. I found almost all of the inspiration for his room there. I started with gray walls, and then color just started to flow.
The room is not all that big, so I tried to save floor space by using a dresser for a changing table, and created the bookshelf wall as decoration and a functional space that was not a bulky piece of furniture. This room was a mixture of DIY, Craigslist, and items made by friends/family. The dresser, chair, and footstool came from Craigslist, the pennant banner and quilt were made by a close friend, the curtains/bumper/bookshelf wall were made by my parents, and there are many of mine and my husband's childhood things hanging around as well.
My husband and I are musicians, so the music side of us made its way in there, too. The chalkboard wall is my favorite. The middle frame message changes here and there, and once he is old enough for a big boy bed, the wall will be his headboard (what kid wouldn't want to draw on their headboard?). The details of the room are eclectic, but fit together like a puzzle. I love that we were able to do it on a dime and still come up with a room that Copeland can enjoy now and later.
Thanks Amanda! Readers, find Amanda's photography work here.

Just watched Afghan Star yesterday and was extremely impressed by this Sundance Award winning Documentary….
After 30 years of war and Taliban-rule, pop culture has returned to Afghanistan. Afghan Star – a Pop Idol-style TV series – is searching the country for the next generation of music stars. Over 2000 people are auditioning and even three women have come forward to try their luck. The organizers, Tolo TV, believe with this programme they can 'move people from guns to music'.

This major exhibition explores Aztec (Mexica)* civilisation through the divine, military and political role of the last elected ruler, Moctezuma II (reigned AD (1502 - 1520). From his capital in Tenochtitlan (the site of modern Mexico City), Moctezuma's empire comprised much of modern highland Mexico, stretching from the Gulf Coast to the Pacific Ocean.
His power was reflected in the splendour of his capital's architecture, his command of the prestigious Jaguar and Eagle military orders, and his sacrificial rituals to the gods. Moctezuma's world was unrivalled, and this remained so until the devastating arrival of strangers - Cortes and his Spanish fleet.
* The people and culture we know as 'Aztec' referred to themselves as the Mexica (pronounced Me-shee-ka). This is reflected in the exhibition.

On the way to catch a flight back home from the 2013 ASABE International Conference in Kansas City, MO, I shared a shuttle ride with three professors from Purdue University. One was from the farm safety industry, another from the livestock industry, and the third was an expert on grain handling.
I asked the standard question of what's new in their respective fields. For the next 20 minutes, here's what I learned from the back seat:
- Safety: I mentioned to the professor riding shotgun that the area of safety seemed to come up a lot during the conference. I then brought up proposed legislation in Wisconsin that would require large farm implements like manure carts and grain tanks to be held to the same size and weight restrictions as semitrucks now that implements are approaching a similar weight. I asked him whether farmers in his home state of Indiana are worried about the same legislation being considered there.
"I don't think most of them believe it's going to be happen," said Professor William Field, Ed.D., Purdue University. He said a bigger issue there is farm implement lighting. "There is a tremendous amount of farm equipment on the highway with no lighting," Field says. "This includes trailers, hay wagons, grain carts, and tillage equipment."
Almost all states have some level of working and lighting requirements, Fields adds, but they often exempt farm equipment. This exemption is being given serious consideration in most states due to high profile motor vehicle crashes.
2. Grain storage. Bagging grain, including corn and soybeans, is a new trend or concept being talked about on farms, said the grain storage expert, Professor Richard Stroshine, also with Purdue. "Just like elevators used to put overflow grain in piles, this would be a similar thing, only you'd put the overflow in these grain bags." He said because the bags are sealed and airtight, the grain is less likely to develop mold, and insects can be controlled usually without the use of chemicals.
The downside is that you have to buy a machines that can bag the grain and then unload the bags, which he says can cost up to $60,000 depending on where you purchase the machines. He says the technology is popular in Argentina, and manufacturers there are finding new markets in the states. He added that Mississippi State just completed a study of the technology.
3. Livestock odor emissions. The third professor,Albert Heber also with Purdue, was involved in doing a study on the amount of odor and air-pollutant emissions produced by livestock manure, measuring it down to each individual animal. "I've been accused of siding with the livestock industry, but most stakeholders know I was approved by the EPA to do the study," Heber says.
EPA is carefully studying the data collected by the study and developing emission factors, based on the amount of pollutant per animal per day, so they can estimate farm emission rates and compare to regulatory thresholds. The harmful emissions include ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and dust.
It turned out to be a pretty informative ride, worth far more than the $36 I paid the driver.

WASHINGTON, April 7 (UPI) -- A Washington, D.C., man was arrested and charged for allegedly trying to rob two banks with a note that confused the tellers, officials said.
The alleged attempted robberies took place on Monday at two downtown Washington banks, The Washington Post reported.
At the the SunTrust bank, the suspect, whose name was not reported, walked in and gave a teller a note that read "100s 50s 20s 10s."
"The teller was confused," an FBI agent wrote in an affidavit filed in federal court, noting that the teller said the suspect said "money," but nothing else. She handed the note back, and the FBI said the suspect wrote, "all mona."
However, the teller sent him away. A nearby customer informed the teller that the man was trying to rob the bank.
Shortly thereafter, the suspect entered the Bank of America and handed a teller there the same note.
The teller there quickly understood what was going on and asked "Oh my God, are we getting robbed?" the affidavit stated.
She alerted security guards at the bank and the man took off. Police caught up with him about three blocks away and charged him with two counts of attempted bank robbery, authorities said.

Hey HG, The weather is getting colder, and I'm craving more soup. What have you got for me that I can make at home and/or enjoy at work? Cold Carol
Hi CC,
I love soup! It's great as a snack or as part of a meal, especially when it's chilly outside. Here are recipes and finds for your every soupy need... Stovetop Soups: If you want something homemade (yet easy), take a look at these recipes. Click here for our enchilada, wonton, and minestrone soups. Check out the Caramelized French Onion Soup and Asian Noodle Veggie Soup recipes too. For even more stovetop options (enough to last you into the new year), click here! Slow-Cooker Stews: Slow-cooker recipes are so convenient. And stews are like soup's hearty and delicious cousins! (That sounded better in my head.) Bust out your slow cooker, and whip up this Bacon Apple Chicken Stew or this Fajita-rific Beef Stew. And check out the "Slow Cookers" chapter of HUNGRY GIRL TO THE MAX! for tons of soups, chilis, and chowders. Canned Favorites: My all-time top pick is Amy's Organic Chunky Tomato Bisque. A cup has just 130 calories and 3.5g fat (PointsPlus® value 3*), and it is so creamy and delicious! There's an equally awesome Light in Sodium version too. I also love all the light and high-fiber options from Progresso. Good stuff! FYI: The nutritional info on canned soup is for a single serving, but most cans contain about two servings. So if you plan to have the whole can (as I typically do!), multiply the stats. Frozen Single Servings: The soup craze has hit the freezer aisle! Perfect if you have both a freezer and a microwave in your office... No can opener needed. Tabatchnick has so many options in its Soup Singles line, and Weight Watchers Smart Ones recently entered the arena with Classic Favorites Soups. And although they aren't portion controlled, Kashi's Moroccan Minestrone and Savory Chicken Noodle with Kale and Quinoa soups are hearty and worth checking out. For more soup selections than you can shake a ladle at, click here! That oughta warm you up...
Hungry Girl, I love your website, and all of the recipes I've tried are really great! But I never know what to do with the leftover ingredients. What do you recommend? Waste-Not Wendy
Hi Wendy,
Glad you like the site and recipes! I get this question every now and then, so I have some great tips ready to go...
It's easier than you might think to find other guilt-free meals and snacks that call for the same ingredients. In fact, we've recently improved our search function to make it even simpler. Just enter an ingredient in quotes into the search bar on the homepage, along with the word "directions" in its own quotes. For example, a search for recipes that call for avocado looks like this. For more searching tips, click here! Other great resources, if you own any of the Hungry Girl cookbooks, are the indexes. Believe it or not, the HG team works dutifully with the publisher to make these as thorough and helpful as possible! We're a little crazy like that...
Some ingredients also freeze really well, so you can defrost them whenever you're ready to use them again. Meats (like extra-lean ground beef), canned goods like pure pumpkin and beans (take them out of the can before freezing!), even tortillas (separate them with parchment paper to keep them from sticking). Just pop 'em in the fridge, and let them thaw overnight. Click here for a great little USDA guide to freezing foods. So useful!
Finally, don't be afraid to have a little fun with your food, and come up with snack ideas of your own for those leftovers. Got extra fat-free Greek yogurt? Stir in seasonings for a delicious veggie dip! Have leftover eggplant? Cook it up in a grill pan, and top with marinara sauce and part-skim mozzarella. Sweet corn kernels from a can? Char them in a skillet, and toss 'em over a salad. Yum!
Someone you love needs soup suggestions or leftover-ingredient ideas. To help that pal out, just click "Send to a Friend!"

Evening, gold fans. Like many out there in the blogging community, I sometimes experience a shortage of that most important element: topics. I've lost count of the number of times I've been in the mood to post something here, only to realize I couldn't think of a particularly interesting topic.
That's not surprising. Gold making is, in some ways, ten percent inspiration and ninety percent perspiration. That is to say, the vast majority of my time in game is simply spent going through my routine: buying my mats, doing my crafting, posting, maybe occasionally cancelling. There are weeks at a time where nothing really changes. Shockingly, those parts aren't very exciting.
So when I saw Nev (of Auction House Addict) post her "20 Days of Gold Making" post, I was intrigued. Give me a topic, and I'm perfectly willing to ramble on until you beg me to stop. It took me a while to hop on board, but I'm going to try my hand at this. I certainly can't promise they'll be 20 consecutive days, but my goal is to get all 20 covered over the course of...well, however long it takes me to do this.
With that in mind, let's head straight into Day 1.
1. When did you start gold making & what triggered it?
I'd venture to say I'm a bit newer to the gold making aspect of WoW than most of the bloggers out there. I'd been playing since mid-TBC, but the event that sparked my interest in gold making actually took place in December of 2011, not too long after Dragon Soul released.
I was taken with the holiday spirit, and decided to get presents for all my raid members. It wasn't a gold making exercise in and of itself, but most of what I got everyone was Argent Tournament pets, which were going for 3-5k at the time. Multiply that by ten people (I was doing it in a sneaky, anonymous way, so obviously, I also needed something for myself), and it was enough gold that I really had to work for it.
That taught me that I could make gold, and that it was actually pretty fun. Around the beginning of 2012, I actually entered into a competition with my partner to see who could reach gold cap first. It was fun, but I don't know that either of us were that serious about it at the beginning.
Things changed, though, near the beginning of February 2012. That was when my mother, who had been battling with breast cancer for the last three years, decided that the last couple of chemotherapy options available to her were too riddled with side effects. She decided to end chemotherapy, and began in-home hospice care.
I'm thankful for the hospice team's help, but other than nurse visits and bathing visits, the rest of the care pretty much fell to me (and to the amazing family and friends who brought food and things like that). Surprisingly enough, though, I still had some free time, and was in desperate need of a distraction. I had classes (mostly online, as leaving the house was difficult), but that didn't take up all my time. Maybe it should have, but when you're averaging 4-5 hours of sleep and pretty much unable to leave the house, it's funny how the free time builds up.
There was WoW, of course, but the nature of my free time didn't lend itself well to traditional WoW activities. I might have as much as an hour or two at a time between Mom's medication, but at any given moment, she could need something. Of course that's more important than any group I may be in or even any mob attacking me.
That's where gold making and the AH really started to shine. They were one form of play where if I needed to drop everything and rush into the other room, I could do so with absolutely no consequences. It was the distraction I so desperately needed. And when the couple of weeks the doctors predicted turned into a couple of months (a gigantic mixed blessing, if ever there was one), gold making is one of the things that got me through the toughest time in my life.
I realize that's a bit more personal than something one normally expects to see on a gold making blog. I apologize if I offended anyone by being so open. I just wanted everyone in this wonderful community to know that their blogs, podcasts, and videos provided me with so much more than just virtual currency in a game.

European film stars Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel have separated "by mutual agreement" after 14 years of marriage, according to reports.
The Italian actress, 48, and the French actor, 46, met in 1996 while filming the French film The Apartment. They married three years later and have two daughters – Deva, 8, and Léonie, 3.
Bellucci, a former model, starred in the Matrix sequels and also played Mary Magdalene in The Passion of the Christ. Cassel is best known in the U.S. for his work in Ocean's Twelve and Ocean's Thirteen, and in Black Swan.
Both of their reps confirmed the split, with Cassel's saying the separation is "by mutual agreement."

About Universal Class
The knowledge keepers at UniversalClass feed intrepid and curious minds alike through their exhaustive catalog of online continuing education courses. Students think their way through a curriculum of arts, accounting, cooking, or career-training courses, earning CEUs (continuing education units) as they go.
In lieu of brick-and-mortar classrooms, classes meet in a virtual space constructed out of high-tech building blocks such as streaming videos, website avatars, instructor-crafted content, and social networks. The classes' persistent online presence also allows busy students to learn at their own pace and still receive continual feedback from instructors. Students can bounce from subject to subject, preparing for a new career in proofreading, psychology, or statistics, or bone up on more esoteric topics such as metaphysics in case they get invited to tea inside the Large Hadron Collider.
