Collaborative Aims to Boost Momentum for Home Energy Efficiency Upgrades in the Southwest
In 2011, Gavin Hastings, an Arizona Public Service (APS) program manager, began envisioning a collaborative that would advance the Home Performance with Energy Star (HPwES) programs in his region.
HPwES provides whole-house solutions for homeowners, offering increased comfort and energy savings via qualified contractors trained on building science principles. More than 200,000 homeowners nationwide have participated in the HPwES program through their local state energy office, utility company, or nonprofit agency sponsor. Though the program as a whole has been a success, Hastings believed that the program's potential for more growth was much greater in the Southwest than it was elsewhere.

HPwES Completions in the Southwest, 2009–11
Hastings remembers a homeowner in Sun City, Arizona, who could walk from one side of his house to the other and feel the change in temperature. That homeowner took advantage of APS's HPwES program and learned from the contractor that an A/C unit was pumping equal amounts of cold air into the house and attic. Once the ducts were sealed, the homeowner could immediately feel the difference in the comfort of his home, and he enjoyed lower utility bills.
There are so many homes like this with energy efficiency issues, Hastings realized, and so much money that homeowners could save, that he decided to take action to ramp up the reach of the program.
Collaboration Builds Consistent, Streamlined Programs
"Collaboration is something that the industry needs now more than ever," Hastings says. "APS is working to expand the home performance marketplace, and along the path we realized that one program or even one state is not significant enough to drive the dramatic leap forward that the entire industry needs."
Hastings believes that effective programs must be streamlined and consistent across utility territories and governmental jurisdictions in order to transform the home energy marketplace. So in 2012 he partnered with the national HPwES program and me, a buildings efficiency program associate at the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project (SWEEP), to create the Southwest Home Performance Collaborative (SW Collaborative). With assistance from the national HPwES program, Hastings and I immediately enrolled our peers from utilities, state and local home energy efficiency programs, and program implementation contractors. Today, the collaborative includes home energy program managers and professionals from six states: Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. The group meets regularly by phone to share what works, discuss national program standards, and build momentum for home energy efficiency upgrades in the Southwest.
Home Retrofits Achieve Significant Energy Savings
A recent report released by SWEEP, "The $20 Billion Bonanza: Best Practice Electric Utility Energy Efficiency Programs and Their Benefits for the Southwest," found that home retrofits can achieve a significant amount of electricity savings (see Figure 1). The findings indicate a cost of only $0.02/kWh for home retrofit programs, compared to $0.08-$0.12/kWh to supply electricity to households.
Back in 2010, before the collaborative was established, almost $80 million was allocated by the largest utilities in the Southwest for residential retrofit efforts, but HPwES programs had a very small slice of that budget. At that time, only two official HPwES programs were being offered by utilities in the region—Arizona Public Service and Xcel Energy. Other programs were much more limited, mostly offering single-measure rebates for insulation and air sealing, refrigerators, lightbulbs, and a few other measures. Since then, three additional home-performance programs have been offered by nonprofits and government—HomeFree Nevada, Four Corners for Resource Efficiency (4CORE) in Colorado, and the state of Utah program—and as yet no new programs have been offered by utilities. Overall almost 300 contractors are now part of the program in the Southwest area.
Increased Public Awareness Leads to More Home Retrofits
By 2011, studies revealed that public awareness of the Energy Star label exceeded 80%. With increased awareness building momentum for the Energy Star label, three new HPwES programs were established by the close of 2011. Figure 2 illustrates the significant increase in HPwES completions as a result of the new program activity.
The collaborative's early success caught the attention of Ely Jacobsohn, the HPwES program manager for DOE. "The Energy Department is pleased to be working with the collaborative in the Southwest and to see the progress in developing their local market for home performance services," says Jacobsohn. "Through the efforts of the Southwest sponsors, we are witnessing a growing certified workforce and an increase in HPwES projects which, ultimately, is helping homeowners and moving the nation toward a more energy-efficient economy."
Collaborative Is a Voice for the Southwest
While national home performance groups have a strong presence in the United States, the SW Collaborative tackles issues and opportunities specific to one region of the country. Despite differences between the states' energy policies and programs, they share similar climates, housing characteristics, energy mix, retrofit businesses, the Wild West philosophy, wind and solar potential, and scarce water resources.

SWEEP is a public interest organization that promotes energy efficiency in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. For more information, visit www.swenergy.org or follow them on Twitter@SouthwestEE.
"Having one regional voice helps home performance program success in our region. The collaborative has provided the Southwest, with our unique program issues, a way to voice concerns and issues to the national program designers as a single entity," says Charlie Gohman, manager of the Arizona Home Performance program and a member of the collaborative.
While home performance is a house-by-house effort, each contractor and homeowner has the support of energy efficiency program managers. Those managers deliver rebates, publicity, contractor trainings, quality assurance, and analysis.
These program managers help not only their clients, but also their colleagues. In a series of monthly educational meetings, specific subject matter is discussed by national and local expert panels and guest speakers.

Heating with Oil - New Developments
Because of new burner technologies, low sulfur fuels, and bio fuels, North Americans are finding out what Europeans have known for a while - heating with oil makes good sense.
Over the past several years, there has been an evolution in heating oil technology that will affect heating efficiency, emissions, and appliance configurations. Condensing boilers and furnaces have brought a significant increase in efficiency to natural-gas-fired appliances, and the same potential efficiency jump exists for oil-fired appliances. An oil-fired condensing boiler or furnace can achieve an efficiency rating of 90%–95%; noncondensing boilers and furnaces can be 84%–86% efficient. Condensing oil furnaces have been available for years, but concerns over corrosion, cost, maintenance, and reliability have severely limited the market for the oil-fired versions of these appliances.
That may be changing.To a large degree, this change has been supported by efforts of the U.S. DOE, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), and the National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA),working with research organizations, manufacturers, and service organizations.NORA,the leading industry organization involved with advancing fuel oil technology, recently sponsored the development of a new oil-fired condensing warm-air furnace that features a condensing section that is very easy to maintain.This new furnace is currently available as the HEO Series from the Dornback Furnace Division of Adams Manufacturing Company.And Monitor Products has recently introduced a condensing oil-fired boiler to the U.S. market.
Condensing boiler designs can be classified as those that are designed for condensing anywhere within the heat exchanger and those that have a primary (noncondensing) and a secondary (condensing) section. For boilers in the second category, it is important to avoid significant condensation in the primary section to avoid excessive corrosion and premature failure. Depending upon the design and control strategy, this may involve attention to water flow rates, minimum return water temperatures, or other strategies.The new NORA-sponsored furnace sports a design that prevents condensation in the primary heat exchanger, which is not designed to handle the corrosive condensate.
For a boiler to recover latent heat from the flue gas water vapor, the return water temperature to the boiler must be lower than the flue gas water vapor dew point—roughly 125ºF for oil, higher for gas. Conventional residential baseboard heating systems are designed to operate at much higher temperatures—180ºF, for example. While radiant floor systems operate at much lower temperatures and can work well with condensing boilers, these are uncommon, particularly in existing homes. Tests are ongoing in a DOE-sponsored project at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) to study the effect of different control strategies with baseboard heating systems. Results to date show that by operating with an outdoor reset control on the supply water temperature, using a mixing valve, very significant levels of condensation can be realized over most of the heating season. This approach allows the boiler to provide high-temperature water—180ºF—to a domestic hot water tank and lower-temperature water—110ºF-160ºF, depending on outdoor temperature—to the baseboards simultaneously.
In Europe, the use of condensing boilers is relatively common and several floor-standing products are available. Recently,wall-hung, oil-fired condensing boilers with very compact heat exchangers have been introduced in Europe in response to market demands. Some of these products use two-stage oil burners with pumps that can deliver two fuel oil pressure levels, and variable-speed brushless DC combustion air blowers. (It is interesting to note that warm-air furnaces for home heating essentially do not exist on the European market.This is partly because they are less energy efficient and partly because residential air conditioning is very little used in Europe.) Because these newer condensing boilers have tight heat exchangers, the sulfur content of the fuel must be low;manufacturers are specifying 100–500 ppm.These products currently could not be used in the United States, as the average sulfur content of #2 fuel oil here has been in the range of 1,000–2,500 ppm (0.1–0.25 weight percent) for many years. But that too may be changing.
Recent U.S. EPA rules mandate lowering the maximum sulfur content of diesel fuel, which is now set at 500 ppm, to 50 ppm by 2006.Within the oil heat industry there is a growing voice for lowering the sulfur content of heating oil as well. One key advantage to this move would be reduced fouling of appliance heat exchangers. Low-sulfur fuel also reduces sulfur dioxide and primary emissions of fine particulate into the air.With properly operating burners, the dominant fouling deposit is iron sulfate scale, formed by a reaction between sulfuric acid and iron from the heat exchanger material. Field and lab tests have clearly demonstrated the advantages of reduced sulfur content (see "The Fate of Sulfur During Combustion").
A two-year field test, sponsored by NYSERDA, in which 800 homes in upstate New York have been converted to low-sulfur fuel, is currently nearing completion. Results to date indicate a dramatic reduction in equipment-cleaning costs.The final report is being prepared. Several fuel oil marketers have converted to low-sulfur heating oil and now offer only this fuel to their customers. NORA is strongly supporting the transition to low-sulfur fuels.
Another fuel-related advancement in oil heat is biofuels. These domestic, renewable, sulfur-free fuels are of growing interest for partial replacement of oil. Biofuels are derived from new or used vegetable oils through a process involving reaction of methanol and vegetable oil in the presence of a catalyst, followed by separation of by-products. The fuels are miscible in heating oil.While a wide range of mixture ratios can be used, a 20% blend of bio- fuels in heating oil (B20) seems to be most popular. Relative to fuel oil, biofuels have a similar viscosity and a slightly lower heating value. One area of concern with these fuels is the low temperature flow behavior—they gel at temperatures
higher than oil does, leading to potential problems in colder regions if they are used at high concentrations in the fuel blend. There is also a concern, at high concentrations, with biofuel compatibility with the seal materials used in fuel oil pumps.
In tests to date, with 20% blends, routine use of this fuel shows no effects on service requirements or on component failure rates. A two-year field test in upstate New York is nearing completion in which 100 homes, served by one fuel oil dealer, have been converted to B20 with no equipment changes or adjustments. The purpose of this test was to identify any problems with central storage, distribution via normal commercial practices, storage in home tanks, and heating equipment service. The results have been an apparently seamless conversion to B20. This same dealer is currently conducting limited tests with 100% biofuel (B100). No seal material changes or special provisions to protect against low-temperature gelling have been made for these limited B100 tests.
Oil Burners
There have also been some exciting recent developments in the burners used for oil combustion in home heating applications. Currently, the market is totally dominated by yellow-flame, retention head burners. Manufacturers have adopted permanent split-capacitor (PSC) motors over the past few years that reduce power consumption. Burner fans have higher static pressures that improve performance under back pressure conditions. In the case of highefficiency appliances that are sidewall vented, these burners allow installation without a draft inducer. Burner primary controls are microprocessor based and provide the option for pre- and postpurge operation (purges blow air through the combustion chamber before and/or after fuel is burned). Controls manufacturers, including Carlin Combustion Technologies and Honeywell, Incorporated, are also very actively developing low-cost concepts for monitoring the condition of the flame, run time, and other operational parameters. This information will be communicated to Web servers, processed, and presented to service organizations.
The benefits of these developments for both the service organization and the homeowner are substantial. The service organization can increase the efficiency of their service and delivery operations. By providing service to units that have developing problems but that have not yet failed to operate, they can greatly improve reliability for the customer. In addition, efficiency degradation that might be caused by extended operation under sooting conditions can be prevented.
In another new development, Heat Wise, Incorporated, has recently completed certification testing of a new oil burner that uses novel fuel pump and blower components to reduce electric power. Conventional burners draw from 160 to 230 watts.This new burner uses about 50 watts, and should be available to consumers within a year.
Perhaps the most exciting new development in oil burner technology is highly recirculating, low-nitrogenoxide (NOx) burners. Here the burner head air flow patterns are very much different from the patters of conventional yellow-flame burners. Essentially, all of the combustion air is introduced in a single stream on the burner centerline into the combustion zone that is contained in a metal flame tube. This produces a high rate of recirculation of hot combustion products back to the root of the flame, vaporizing the oil before it is burned. The effect is a "transparent" or blue flame with NOx emissions less than half of those from conventional burners. This approach also provides a burner that can operate very cleanly even in very small, cold wall combustion chambers, which have traditionally been challenging applications for yellow-flame, retention head burners.
The major burner manufacturers have completed basic development and product certifications and are entering into extended field testing. Versions of this technology have been operating in homes in Europe for several years and have proven to be reliable in their applications. Appliances and service practices in the United States, however, are considerably different, and a cautious rate of introduction is expected.This technology should be available to consumers within two years. BNL is currently conducting field tests of a German, advanced-version, low-NOx burner that is fully modulating between the firing rates of 0.35 and 0.55 gallons of oil (49,000–77,000 BTU) per hour. This unit is pressure atomized with a variable-frequency pulsing-piston fuel pump and a variable-speed blower. Modulation is also of interest for larger building applications. Heat Wise, Incorporated, is actively developing a fully modulating prototype that operates over the firing rate range of 0.75 to 4 gallons per hour.

NEW YORK — Bryan Cranston's break-out role as Walter White, the meth-cooking moral black hole at the center of AMC's "Breaking Bad," didn't come until he was 51, after almost 30 years as a working actor. Coming off his run as the culture's most compelling and iconic antihero since Tony Soprano, why choose to play a mere president, in a three-hour play about how a bill gets passed?
Because as Lyndon Baines Johnson in Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Robert Schenkkan's "All the Way," in which Cranston makes his Broadway debut Thursday, he gets to play a man who lived and mattered and is by no means easy to understand. "You can't pin him down," Cranston says in an interview in his dressing room at the Neil Simon Theatre. "The right adjective to describe him is all of them; he's gracious and giving and warm and kind, and then all of the not-lovely attributes, too. What Lyndon are you going to get? I think today we'd say he's bipolar, no?"
There are no handlers around, in a backstage sitting room adorned with the Texas flag, some longhorns and LBJ memorabilia, such as a copy of Life magazine with the 36th president's picture on the cover. "A touch of home," drawls Cranston, slipping into character.
More than anything else, "All the Way" is about the way Johnson pushed for civil rights legislation in 1964. Or to put that in modern parlance, crammed it down our throats, knowing full well that his party would lose the South for a generation as a result.
LBJ is so tough to figure that even after the show's initial Boston run last fall, Cranston says, he was still trying to nail down why LBJ fought so hard for civil rights. Was it just to establish his legacy, or was he compelled by conscience? Had he earlier withheld his true feelings about social justice for political reasons, or had he "evolved," as the current president says he has done on gay rights?
In the end, Cranston says, he found his own emotional key to LBJ in something his character says in the play about how hard it was for him to watch his father be frozen out by his mother after being ruined financially.
That's what fueled Johnson's panicked fear of humiliation and, in the end, caused him to suffer what he dreaded most: "That created a desperate desire," says Cranston, who himself had parents he has described as "broken," and who also wound up broke, losing the family home and sending Cranston to live with his grandparents.
"I relate to a lot of the qualities he has," Cranston says of LBJ, "and some that are not so appealing. What got to me was what's in his core."
Historians will be arguing over that core for some time to come, but Cranston feels that, for all his slipperiness and even cruelty, LBJ, when it mattered, showed a kind of political courage that's almost unthinkable today.
"At great risk, he went against his friends and swam against the current," on civil rights, "and that wasn't political, and that tells me something about his character." In fact, Cranston says, he was willing to trade the South — his South — to get legislation passed, "and that was a mighty big thing to do."
A line in biographer Robert Caro's latest volume on Johnson, "The Passage of Power," holds that while power corrupts, it also reveals. What Schenkkan and Cranston reveal in "All the Way" is a Johnson who uses power to keep his fear of failure at bay. In their telling, he all too genuinely identifies with the downtrodden and wants to right wrongs for right as well as wrong reasons.
For all of his own share of power, at the top of his profession, Cranston himself could hardly be less pretentious, and he seems to have metabolized his hard times far differently from the man he plays, taking all the more pleasure in his success, he says, because it was so unexpected and late showing up.
"I've never been one to look forward to public attention," he says. "I look forward to what I do. I'd rather go unnoticed." And quite unlike Johnson, he loves being alone. But he also appreciates "generous words" from fans, even if fame for its own sake "doesn't empower me." He's been married to his second wife, Robin Dearden, for 25 years, and they have a daughter who's an actor and also waits tables: "That's what you're supposed to do!"
There's certainly no vanity in his anti-brag about how he has a head start playing the giant Johnson, thanks to his "squinty eyes, thin lips and road map of wrinkles." He does have more hair — which he's grown back since playing Walter White — and it's still dark, "though I don't know why." He also gets an inch added to his earlobes for the role. At 5-foot-11, he's five inches shorter than LBJ, so he gets a boost in that department, too, and sways his back to make his belly look bigger.
At 57, Cranston is just shy of the antiwar protest generation, and mostly remembers seeing Johnson as, of all things, dull: "Whenever I saw him he was always very measured and laconic, with no color to him, and to a child that's boring. He did that because it was a more honorable depiction of the office."
Little did little Bryan know, of course, that in private, LBJ could hardly have been more colorful, using both just the right words and his own big frame to intimidate or charm just about anyone, anywhere, at any time.
"You and I are sitting at a respectful distance," Cranston says, "close enough that we can hear each other comfortably." Morphing into LBJ, he zooms in close, suddenly, for effect. "But he would be, 'Oh, I like those boots; I need some of those,' " he says, slapping the ones I'm wearing on this side and that, "to put you off your game."
On stage, some of the most moving moments are the smaller, not-so-history-making ones, between Johnson and his wife, Lady Bird, played by Betsy Aidem, who sees it as her job in life to absorb his toxic runoff. "Fix your lipstick," LBJ tells her at one point, never too busy with Martin Luther King Jr., Sen. Dick Russell or J. Edgar Hoover to offer a corrective to his wife, or even the women who work in his office.
"Oh, he was cagey," says his portrayer. "He'd call the hairdresser — 'I like the way you make them look' — and he'd plead poverty" to get their bouffants comped. Or he'd tell a secretary to get herself a new dress on him — "in whatever size you really want to be," meaning that she needed to drop a few pounds first.
His own clothing mattered as well, more than you might think, right down to asking his tailor for an inch of extra room in his pockets "and an extra inch for my bumhole," laughs Cranston. "Who does that, getting so specific?" Yet, obsessive as he was about both daily details and his legacy, he blew the latter for at least a generation because he so feared looking weak in Vietnam.
When I say to Cranston that his legacy is certainly being revised now, in favor of Johnson's civil rights successes in this anniversary year, the actor corrects my word choice: "There's a difference between revisiting and revising," he says, and after 50 years, it's high time we revisited LBJ. He is a little bit defensive of the man he turns into every night, "not as an apology to him and his foreign policy, but just to be fair."
"Mistakes were made," the actor continues, just for a minute sounding more like Johnson's successor, Richard Nixon. But so much was also achieved half a century ago. "They bled and maybe lost an election," but they got things accomplished, even when, Cranston says, that meant to Johnson, "I may have to swallow my pride and do something I said I wouldn't do."
As a kid in Los Angeles, Cranston remembers watching on TV the race riots in the city's Watts neighborhood, not that far away, but only being dimly aware of what they were all about. "You can only oppress people so long before it blows up," he says, loudly smacking his fist against his palm. "But at the time, I'll admit I didn't know why black people were doing that" — taking to the streets, being set upon with dogs and hit with fire hoses.
His own politics are maybe not exactly what you'd expect: "I'm a registered Democrat, but I don't like the us-versus-them" mentality, and he has at times voted Republican — "when they used to stand for fiscal responsibility and independence."
Unlike in LBJ's day, he says, "now, if someone comes up with a good idea, the other party can't support it, and that's absurd. Mitch McConnell said his number one priority" was making sure Obama was a one-term president. "Just the fact that you'd say that," he says, leaning forward just a little like his character, "your priorities are screwed up — and that works the other way, too." Among Democrats, he means.
The Democrats also need to shape up, he says, and realize that you can't spend your way out of problems. It's sort of like his experience since becoming famous, he says: "I've become a celebrity and get approached by every charity, yet I can't give my time" to every one of them, "because it would kill me; I would need a charity. So I have to learn to say no, and the Democrats need to do that."
Before I go, I ask how Walter White used power — for the fun of it, his character tells us in the last episode — compares with how Lyndon Johnson did.
Both were "very, very good at what they do," Cranston answers, and both had an ego and a frailty that ended up both killing them — but, maybe, letting them live fully first. Before White's cancer diagnosis, the mild-mannered chemistry teacher "didn't know what he felt, and in a way, Johnson had the same thing" before he realized that he had a heart problem. "He didn't live long, but he used his heart up."
Cranston's own secret goal, he says before walking me out — secret until now, anyway — is that the current president will come to see the show and be reminded of an era when politicians knew you had to give to get, and acted like it.

Dani Andrada on La Rambla (5.15a)
Dani Andrada is the reigning King of Spanish sport climbing. However, his one remaining nemesis is La Rambla (5.15a) in Siurana, Spain. La Rambla was established by the visiting German Alexander Huber in the early 1990s and was extended by the Spaniard Ramon Puigblanque in 2003; giving it the current grade of 5.15a. Andrada began trying La Rambla in 1996, and although he still has not sent the route, his mastery of the moves has aged like a fine wine. Enjoy this vintage video of Andrada coming close to sending one of the most classic sport climbs in the world.

Light, refreshing, and super easy to make, granitas are my go-to dinner party dessert. While I do enjoy granitas in the heat of summer, I actually prefer them after heavy winter fare, when a rich dessert just feels like too much. This pomegranate granita would be wonderful after a hearty veggie stew, a feast of succulent roasted meat, or even Thanksgiving dinner.
Pomegranates have a tangy, tannic, earthy flavor which I find mysterious and totally irresistible. Straight pomegranate juice can be quite intense so I've added orange juice and zest to mellow things out just a bit, and the extra layer of flavor adds a wonderful citrusy brightness to the dessert.
We all need an easy recipe (which can be made in advance) to help out with the holidays, right?
printable recipe
- 3 cups unsweetened pomegranate juice
- 1/3 cup tap water
- juice and zest of one large orange or two smaller satsumas
- 1/2 cup light agave nectar
- optional for serving: candied orange peel; whipped cream with a splash vanilla extract & sweetened with powdered sugar or agave
Transfer liquid mixture to a baking dish and place it in the freezer. Every hour or so, remove the dish from the freezer and scrape the solid bits with a fork. After a few hours of freezing and scraping, your granita will be ready to serve. (Keep in mind that the shallower the baking dish and more spread out the liquid, the quicker the chill.) If you forget to scrape the granita regularly and end up with a frozen block of pomegranate ice, go at it with a fork until you have a beautiful flaky consistency.
If you are a serious pomegranate lover like my kids are, serve little glasses of this granita all on its own. You can also top it with candied orange peel, or keep in mind that the granita is absolutely delicious topped with billowy sweet whipped cream.
Once it comes out of the freezer, granita melts quickly - be sure to eat it immediately after serving.
Serves 6-8. Keeps in the freezer for 2 weeks.

Syria vows to 'crush' rebels, launches new attacks
BEIRUT - Syria's military will "crush" armed rebels, President Bashar Assad's defense minister warned Saturday, as the regime shelled rebel positions in two cities and near the Lebanese border in a widening offensive.
Neighboring Turkey, meanwhile, set new rules of engagement after three shells from Syria hit Turkish territory Saturday. Turkey retaliated with artillery, as it has for the past four days, and Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said this would now be the standard response.
Davutoglu insisted that "we haven't taken a step toward war," but Turkey's threat to fire back for each errant Syrian shell was bound to keep border tensions high. Turkey is one of Assad's harshest critics and a key supporter of Syria's opposition.
The latest Syria-Turkey crisis erupted earlier this week, after a Syrian shell killed five civilians in a Turkish border town.
The Syrian regime has apologized and tried to defuse tensions by pulling some tanks back from the border, according to a Turkish Foreign Ministry official who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government regulations.
Still, the week's daily cross-border exchanges have heightened fears of a regional conflagration.
Syrian mortar rounds are likely to hit Turkey again as regime forces try to retake rebel-controlled areas near the border. Two of the shells that fell in Turkey on Saturday were fired in clashes between government troops and opposition fighters in a Syrian border village.
Syria's civil war has been stalemated for months, but Syrian Defense Minister Gen. Fahd Jassem al-Freij insisted Saturday that the regime is gaining the upper hand.
The government denies it is facing a home-grown rebellion, saying it is being targeted by a foreign conspiracy against the regime's support for anti-Israeli groups.
"The most dangerous parts of the conspiracy have ... passed and the killing is on its way to decline," said al-Freij, who was named to the job after his predecessor was assassinated in July. He offered amnesty to rebels who repent but said those who don't "will be crushed under the feet of our soldiers."
The Syrian president, meanwhile, made a rare public appearance Saturday to commemorate the anniversary of the outbreak of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, also known as the October War.
Assad laid a wreath at the country's statue of the Unknown Soldier in Damascus, then passed along a line of saluting army commanders in dress uniform, shaking hands with each. The ceremony, broadcast live on Syrian TV, seemed designed to show Assad remains in control.
Syria's state-run news agency SANA linked Saturday's anniversary to the current conflict, saying that in both cases "Syria is facing an enemy armed with Western and Israeli weapons."
Along with regime's new warnings to the rebels, Syrian troops backed by warplanes and combat helicopters launched attacks on rebel-held areas near the Syrian town of Quseir, close to Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, on Saturday, Lebanese security officials said.
Opposition activists also reported intense government shelling in the northern city of Aleppo, Syria's largest and a commercial hub, and in the central city of Homs.
The battlefield stalemate is most apparent in those two cities.
Syrian forces have been bombing and shelling from a distance but have been unable to dislodge opposition fighters holed up in devastated neighborhoods. Retaking Aleppo and Homs could give the regime some breathing room.
In Aleppo, government forces gained some ground in recent house-to-house combat, according to an Associated Press journalist in the city.
On Saturday, government troops captured the city's Sakhour roundabout after days of heavy fighting, a Syrian official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Heavy shelling also was reported in Taibeh, a town near Homs, an early center of the uprising. Opposition activists said at least 10 people were killed and dozens wounded.
Amateur video from Taibeh, posted Saturday, showed several badly disfigured bodies being pulled from the back of a pickup truck by distraught bystanders. One body was carried away on a red stretcher.
In another video, masked rebel fighters posed with assault rifles in what they said is an air defense base east of Damascus they captured earlier in the week.
The video showed captured weapons, including anti-aircraft missiles, heavy machine guns and large-caliber ammunition. The rebels surrounded a group of captured regime soldiers. The captives, some with bandages on their heads, each stood up and gave their rank and name.
The authenticity of such videos cannot be confirmed independently because Syria imposes tight restrictions on foreign journalists.
In a success for the opposition activists said, rebel fighters took control of the village of Khirbet el-Jouz in Syria's northwestern Idlib province, about 16 kilometers (10 miles) from the Turkish town of Guvecci.
Turkey's state-run Anadolu Agency said that rebels planted their flag on the roof of a building that had been used as a base by regime troops in the village. The takeover came after intense clashes, with mortar shells exploding at a relentless pace, some near the Turkish border, Anadolu said.
Two of the mortars from that battle landed in Turkey, and a third shell hit later in another village in Turkey's Hatay province. No casualties were reported, but Turkish forces returned fire each time, according to Anadolu and the Hatay governor's office.
Earlier this week, Turkey's parliament approved such retaliation, expanding Turkey's response options. Turkey's leaders have reiterated that they don't want war with Syria, but another dramatic or deadly border incident could force unwanted escalation.
In another international entanglement, Assad ally Iran appealed to rebel backers Turkey and Qatar to help release 48 Iranians purportedly being held by Syrian rebels since August.
In amateur video posted late Thursday, rebels threatened to kill the captives by the end of the weekend unless the regime halts military operations against the opposition.
Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi spoke by phone Saturday with the Qatari prime minister and the Turkish foreign minister and received assurances they would try to help, Iran's state news agency IRNA reported.
Iran says those abducted were pilgrims visiting a Shiite shrine in Damascus. The Syrian opposition claims they are members of the elite Revolutionary Guard helping the Syrian regime.

The fourth precept of the Genealogical Proof Standard is that we "resolve any conflicts caused by contradictory items of evidence or information contrary to your conclusion."
For many genealogists, who struggle with some of the more difficult research concepts, conflicting information poses a particularly tricky situation. Conflicting information is inevitable, especially when we have truly conducted a "reasonably exhaustive" search for records.
When records disagree, how can we possibly discover the truth?
The most important skill that we develop as genealogists is the skill of analysis. Genealogy research is far more than just finding the records. Once we have found the records we must determine what relevant information each record holds, and how reliable that information is.
Some of the questions that we must ask ourselves, when faced with conflicting information, are:
- Who provided the information?
- What was the level of participation of the informant in the event being reported?
- What was the level of understanding of the informant in the event being reported?
- How long removed was the creation of the record from the event being reported?
- Did any bias or external pressure exist that may have caused the informant to intentionally report inaccurate information? (I know, none of us want to believe that our ancestors would have lied, but sometimes there were "good reasons.")
Based on your reasoned responses to these questions, regarding each record containing conflicting information, you should be able to determine that one report can be deemed most likely to be more accurate than the others.
An example of this process will follow in a subsequent post.
If you would like to cite this post: Michael Hait, "Reconciling conflicting information," Planting the Seeds: Genealogy as a Profession blog, posted 21 January 2012 (https://michaelhait.wordpress.com : accessed [access date]).

I have mentioned the books Evidence! and Evidence Explained on numerous occasions in this blog. These two books by Elizabeth Shown Mills, CG, CGL, FASG, have highly influenced my approach to record analysis and source citation.
Today, 1 April 2012, Ms. Mills announced the launch of a new website based on the books: EvidenceExplained.com.
Across the past year or so, many of you have queried the genealogical mailing lists, asking when the 2nd edition of Evidence Explained would be available in a downloadable format. The wait is over.
EvidenceExplained.com has now launched—not just as a vehicle for providing electronic downloads of an updated 2nd edition of EE and the QuickSheets, but also as an educational venue and a forum for issues relating to citation, evidence analysis, and record usage and interpretation.[1]
Through this site, for the very first time, one can download electronic editions of not only the 2009 2nd Edition of Evidence Explained, but all of Ms. Mills's Quicksheets also published by Genealogical Publishing Company.

Just when you thought you'd seen it all, when you thought Teddy had lost the presidents race in every conceivable way, comes the inconceivable at Nationals Park.
On Saturday night in front of a restless crowd watching the Washington Nationals trail the Chicago Cubs by a score of 5-0 in the fourth inning, Teddy broke from the pack just as he had done the night before. However, on this night, he stuck to the rules and ran a clean race. No cheating, no cutting the outfield corners, just looking like he was going to hang onto the lead from wire to wire.
That's when the panther — yes, a panther — pounced out from the stands and tackled him, stunning the crowd and bringing a chorus of boos as the other presidents raced by. Thanks to Miss Chatter for snapping the photo. In all the confusion, did anybody see who won? More importantly, is Teddy okay?

Autopsy: Cowboys player killed in crash was sober
DALLAS (AP) ? An autopsy has found that Dallas Cowboys practice squad player Jerry Brown Jr. was sober when he was killed in a crash that led to an intoxication manslaughter charge against the teammate at the wheel.
The Dallas County Medical Examiner's Office reported Thursday that Brown died of head and neck trauma when their vehicle overturned. He had a dislocated neck, a severely bruised spine and a blood alcohol content of 0.056 percent. That's well below the Texas drunken driving standard of 0.08 percent.
Police have said Cowboys nose guard Josh Brent, who was driving, had a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit when after the Dec. 8 crash in Irving, a Dallas suburb. He remains free on $100,000 bond.
Police say neither man was wearing a seatbelt.

Want To Climb 10 Routes A Day? Then Don't Train So Hard.
The key is to increase your training volume but decrease the difficulty. Here's how to do just that.
Enjoy unlimited access to Climbing's award-winning features, in-depth interviews, and expert training advice. Subscribe here.
It's a common question: How do you train so you can climb as much as possible during a finite period, such as while you are on a road trip?
The only way to improve stamina is to maximize the volume of your training. That means more gym sessions per week than you are used to. Beginners (5.7 to 5.9) should aim to train endurance three times a week, intermediates (5.10 to 5.12d) should train endurance four times a week, and high-level climbers (5.13a and up) may train up to five times a week. You should also consider doing a bouldering or strength-training session each week to prevent losses of power while you are focusing on stamina.
The next step is to consider the split of your endurance training between power-endurance and stamina. Power-endurance refers to sustained climbing sequences, and endurance is anything in excess of roughly 50 moves. If you are training mainly for redpointing or for onsighting short, powerful sport routes, then do more power-endurance and less stamina work. If you are training for onsighting long sport or trad routes, then do more stamina sessions.
To train for stamina at a gym, I would suggest operating three or four letter grades below your usual onsight grade and doing sets of three or four routes in a row without rest. Start with slightly harder routes (three grades below your current best onsight level): Climb the route, lower quickly but safely, then pull the rope, re-tie, and climb again without delay, either on the same route or another nearby of the same grade. Aim for four or five sets of three to four laps, with rest times being roughly equal to climbing times.
Alternatively, pick slightly easier routes (four below your current onsight grade): Climb up, then climb back down an easier route on the same line (two grades easier than the up-climb), then back up again. Shake out wherever possible and climb at a slow, steady pace. Last, you can try climbing on an easy part of the bouldering wall, picking random sequences of movement that get you pumped so that you have to find and use rests to recover. You can go up and down easy problems or simply use whichever holds take your fancy. Clearly, it requires some discipline to keep things challenging, and if you lack this then a superb alternative is to get a partner to point to holds with a stick. Many top-level climbers consider this to be the best way to get fit, as it forces you to do moves that you wouldn't normally choose and to rest at places that feel uncomfortable. Experiment. Try doing four or five stints of eight to 12 minutes with rests roughly equal to climbing time, or you can use a pyramid structure, such as five minutes on, five minutes off, 10 on, 10 off, 15 on, 15 off, 10 on, 10 off, 5 on, 5 off.
Steep, juggy routes will develop a different type of stamina than lower-angled fingery routes, so make sure you replicate your goals or address your weaknesses in your training. Enjoy the burn.

Beyond Broken: Congress Is Morally Bankrupt
I don't really make predictions. But my prediction is in 10 years, we will all snidely refer to anything inept, broken, petty and lazy as like the 112th Congress.
Coaches will yell it at their athletes when they're falling behind, "Do you want people to call you the 112th?! Do you? Then get up and get back in the game!" A nasty burn in a breakup: "You're too 112th to live with, Darrel." This Congress should not have its jersey retired—but quarantined—nothing we ever like, respect or care about should ever be called 112th.
Out of 112 Congresses this batch of Brooks Brothers barnacles has managed to break the institution. Their public approval rating is hovering around the margin of error—and that's only because some of the people pollsters called think the president is Martin Sheen.
Because of the abuse of the filibuster, the Senate can no longer function. The filibuster is a storied device to pause a vote with a Senator's yammering. Now it's used as a veto threat. It's as if the "hold" button was rigged to just hang up the call (and then block the number). Anything less than one party having 60 lock-step voting members means a stalemate. Without a super majority "nothing" is now the only thing possible in this deliberative body. The same amount of votes it takes the Senate to amend the Constitution is now what it takes to rename a post office.
Speaking of which, that's basically all the 112th House has done for two years: re-name post offices. Naming things that already have a name. That's what they've been doing on our dime. Out of the paltry (and pathetic) 124 laws that have originated in the House, 27 of them have named post offices. Two have issued commemorative coins. That means of the two years this House has met they've only originated 95 bills that have become laws.
How do they compare? Well the average number of laws originating in the House in a normal (not mind-numbingly obstinate) Congress is around 300. The 111th House, under Democratic majority, made 254. The 109th House, with a Republican majority made 316 laws. Going back to the 1970s, the 93rd Congress had 337 laws originate in their chamber.
What has the House been doing? "Nothing" would be something to aspire to. They've been introducing symbolic, go-nowhere bills that will never be brought up in the dysfunctional Senate and therefore never make it to the President's desk. Their bills have mainly been to outlaw abortion and overturn the Affordable Care Act. That's right: Not only have they been ineffective at MAKING their own laws—they've been ineffective at unmaking other laws.
They've voted 33 times to overturn ObamaCare. As if the president was going to sign that piece of legislation. Ever.

Jobs, jobs, jobs? More like: Blah, blah, blah.
I asked a congressional staffer the other day if working in the lowest rated Congress in the history of counting was like being on the set of "Gigli."
His answer? "Pretty much."
Part of this is our fault. To paraphrase PJ O'Rourke, we voted in a bunch of people who think government is ineffective so they have to prove themselves right once on government dole.
But really, I'll just quote congressional candidate Wayne Powell running against House Majority Leader Eric Cantor: In a debate last week the retired Army Colonel said, "You don't like government. You should just resign and then I'll take over."
Indeed. But instead on October 5, 2012, Congress will take (yet another) break. They will not resume their idle busy work until November 13. They're taking five weeks off so they can campaign to keep their jobs they don't really do.

Hak-Ju Lee Will Not Be Promoted This Year
The Chicago Cubs have a long track record of in season promotions for their better prospects. The team's philosophy appears to be something like: allow the kid to find some success at his present level, and then challenge him to finish out the season playing against tougher competition.
That's why the decision not to give an in-season promotion to top shortstop prospect Hak-Ju Lee is a bit surprising.
Age and maturity, Fleita said, figure into who gets moved and who doesn't, at times. In the Cubs system, that's a reason why talented shortstop Hak-Ju Lee is still playing for Peoria in the Midwest League. The 19-year-old South Korean has had a very solid full-season debut, and the Cubs didn't want to move him up and risk having him finish 2010 with failure.
"Sometimes you let them finish where they started," Fleita said. "In general, they often remember how they finish. It's a game of confidence, and I like to make sure players go home with the feeling of what it was like to have success. With younger kids, you have to be cognizant of those types of things." MLB.com.
To be certain, Lee is not playing below his level or anything like that – he's still just 19, and A-ball is right where a 19 year old would typically find himself (or lower). But Lee is not a typical prospect. The Cubs expect him to be their shortstop of the future (with Starlin Castro sliding over to second base), and an aggressive promotion schedule would not have been surprising.
Hopefully this is not a sign of organizational doubt. Lee is hitting .284 with a .353 OBP for Peoria, but is slugging just .360 and has 27 errors in 85 games in the field this year.

Ronda Rousey ready for UFC octagon history
- Photogenic fighter in high demand as she%27s about to become part of first female bout in UFC octagon
- Once considered on track for an Olympic gold medal in judo%2C Rousey says MMA more her speed
- Rousey puts her UFC bantamweight title on the line against Liz Carmouche
LOS ANGELES — It's early morning in L.A. — really early — and a publicist, a camera crew, a sports network, a fight trainer, a sportswriter and a lot of fans and autograph seekers have converged to fill Ronda Rousey's schedule full of this and that and then a little more this.
It's early in the week that Rousey will make history as the first woman to fight in the UFC octagon, headlining the UFC 157 mixed martial arts card Saturday at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., and the promotion is in full swing.
A limousine arrives at 4 a.m. to pick Rousey up at the house she shares with an assortment of friends and fighters, just up the street from the funky, iconic Venice boardwalk.
The day will include a stop at the UFC gym in Torrance and be filled with interviews, fake smiles, a makeup lady, autograph hounds, a few large Starbucks drinks and a speeding ticket from a California Highway Patrol officer who isn't the least bit interested that the passenger in the back is a famous fighter late for a TV appearance.
At one point, she stops to consider her fame, her frenetic pace — and her exhaustion.
"It's great. It's awesome. It's cool. I'm not complaining," she says. "But it's a lot."
Moments later, with time to kill before appearing live on one of ESPN's afternoon shows, she is sound asleep on the couch in the green room, and you know she is very tired because she remains in a deep sleep despite voluminous commentator Stephen A. Smith making his point — CLEARLY — on a TV hanging from the ceiling.
This is not Rousey's idea of how to spend a day, but it's worth it because, despite a lot of naysayers, including her mother, she is succeeding in life the way she envisioned it.
Rousey, from the age of 12, was considered an uncommon prodigy in the world of judo. People in that world, including her mom, AnnMaria Rousey DeMars, a former world judo champion, thought Ronda would be the first American woman to win an Olympic gold medal in the sport.
She went to the 2004 Olympics as a 17-year-old and didn't medal. She went back as a 21-year-old and won a bronze.
Right on track, her judo people thought: She's on pace to win gold as a 25-year-old.
Except that Rousey, in terms of living the spartan, highly repetitive lifestyle of Olympic judo training, was done.
She took a year off, working as a cocktail waitress and bartender (and learning how to put on makeup), and then came up with her plan to take on the world of MMA.
She told her judo coach, Jimmy Pedro.
"He pretty much told me to go (bleep) myself," she says. "He didn't want to help me."
She told her mother.
Mom's response: "I told her that was about the dumbest idea she'd ever had. If you think you're going to live with us while pursuing some crazy dream about being an MMA fighter . . . No way."
But Rousey asked her mother to withhold judgment for a year, and her mother agreed.
'She's a home run'
Four years later, Rousey's mother no longer need worry about supporting her MMA dreamer.
Rousey, 26, has won six professional bouts, all in the first round with her signature move, the armbar submission hold. Now that she has signed on with UFC, she is expected to make perhaps $150,000 or more per fight if she wins.
But the winnings don't seem foremost on Rousey's mind this week as she contemplates what a win in the octagon – and defending her UFC bantamweight (135 pounds) title would mean to her.
"In judo and at the Olympics, I was carrying the weight of everyone's expectations and trying to prove people right that I could win the Olympics," she says. "I didn't like that. I want it to be just for me, not for other people. I like proving people wrong more than proving people right."
After seeing Rousey become a star for another MMA organization, UFC president Dana White was convinced it was time for him to promote a women's fight for the first time.
"There's a certain type of person and fighter that make people come and watch, and she's got it," White says of Rousey. "First, she's got to be able to kick some ass. With Ronda, she can do that and she is also beautiful and she speaks well. She's a home run, man."
Rousey is a whole lot of things, actually.
She is appealing in a Beyonce kind of way. She's small (5-6 ¼, 135 pounds) but mighty.
She's traveled around the world and won an Olympic medal but she calls herself the "black sheep" of a family that is filled with impressive academic credentials, including her mother's doctorate in educational psychology.
She's smart but calls herself dumb. She's articulate but trash-talky, and that's gotten her into some mini-controversies.
She once called out Olympic swimming superstar Michael Phelps for, she said, coming off as arrogant around the other 2008 Olympians. She ended up on a YouTube video, saying, "Get over yourself. All you do is swim. If someone slapped you every single time you jumped in the pool, then I'd have a little more respect."
Rousey laughs that incident off, saying she didn't know she was being filmed as she was shooting the breeze with some fighters at the gym.
"If I had known I was on camera," she says, "I would have said, 'I really respect what Olympic swimmers do. And I know it takes a lot of hard work. And I know that the mental and physical toughness that goes into sports like kickboxing and wrestling and judo could not be compared to a sport where you're, you know, suspended in fluid.'
"That would have been a better way of saying it."
It's classic Rousey – playful and irreverent but not wanting to be hurtful.
She's just as happy to make fun of herself as she is making fun of Phelps. She means no harm, and if she's a little unfiltered at times, she enjoys it that way.
"In the Olympics, it's kind of like you're supposed to act like Miss America and talk about world peace," she says. "I like having that freedom now. I like having that room for error, that whole bad girl thing."
Not so bad
Her mother chuckles at the notion of Ronda as black sheep or bad girl and points out that none of those stories about her highlight the charity work she does.
She has been active in Freerice, which helps send grains of rice to the hungry. She's also donated time and money to a mental health clinic and regularly donates signed gear and memorabilia to various charities.
If it seems like her mother has come around on this MMA stuff, she has. She will be at the fight Saturday, along with Ronda's stepfather and three sisters.
That pleases Rousey.
"I want to prove myself right to my mother, and that has been a big motivator for me for a long time," she says. "We have a much stronger relationship now that she isn't so worried about me all the time. She's very hard on me when she's worried. Now I can tell she's a lot less worried when I come home. She's like, 'Want some tea? Some cookies? Some soup? You should sit down and relax.'
"I never thought I'd hear my mom say I need to relax. She was always, 'You need to do more. You need to do more. You need to work harder.'
"Now she's telling me to calm down and relax. I wouldn't be where I am without her. I am very appreciative."
In a way, Rousey believes her father, who was an avid sports fan, will be there Saturday, too.
When Rousey was a little girl, her father suffered a broken back and other complications in a sledding accident. He was given a short time to live and committed suicide. Ronda was 8.
"He still is a motivation to me because he always thought I was going to do something big, that I'd do something extraordinary," she says. "He made me think, 'Of course the world is going to be my oyster. I'm going to be fabulous.'"
