The decision by the Missouri Supreme Court to allow propofol, the same powerful anesthetic that caused the death of Michael Jackson, to be used in executions — coming at a time when Texas, Ohio, Arkansas and other states are scrambling to come up with a new drug for their own lethal injections — is raising new questions about how the death penalty will be carried out.
"The bottom line is no matter what drugs they come up with, despite every avenue these states have pursued, every drug they have investigated has met a dead end," said Deborah Denno, a professor at Fordham Law School who studies execution methods and the death penalty. "This affects every single execution in the country. It just stalls everything, stalls the process."
With manufacturers now refusing to supply corrections departments with the drugs they had been using for executions, some states, like Georgia, have been resorting to obtaining drugs from compounding pharmacies — specialty drugmakers — which death penalty opponents say lack the proper quality control. Other states, as they run low on their old stock of drugs and are unable to replace them, are turning to new, untried methods like propofol or simply announcing that they are searching for a solution.
In the beginning, it was relatively simple and uniform. Several dozen states adopted the three-drug cocktail for executions first used by Texas three decades ago — a sedative (usually sodium thiopental) was mixed with a paralytic agent (pancuronium bromide) followed by a drug inducing cardiac arrest (potassium chloride). The idea was to provide a quick, painless method to replace the electric chair, gas chamber and firing squad.
But a shortage of pancuronium bromide a few years ago led some states to switch to a single-drug method, often simply administering enough sodium thiopental to cause death. The manufacturer of that drug, however, the Illinois-based Hospira, stopped providing it to corrections departments after workers at its Italian plant, and European officials, objected to the use of the drug for executions.
Many state corrections departments switched to pentobarbital, another powerful sedative, in their three-drug cocktail. But when its manufacturer, the Danish-based Lundbeck, learned that its product was being used in death penalty cases, it refused to sell any more to corrections departments and insisted that its American distributors also refuse to supply the drug.
Then, just last month, a federal judge in Washington ruled that sodium thiopental could not be imported into the country at all, because it had never been approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration. (It had been introduced before such F.D.A. approvals began.)
This has left states unsure of what to do when their stockpiles run out — use some other drug like propofol, buy versions of sodium thiopental or pentobarbital from a compounding pharmacy, or abandon lethal injections altogether and return to some other form of capital punishment.
"It's an artificially created problem," said Kent Scheidegger, legal director of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, which supports the death penalty. "There is no difficulty in using a sedative such as pentobarbital. It's done every day in animal shelters throughout the country. But what we have is a conspiracy to choke off capital punishment by limiting the availability of drugs."
The issue is expected to come to a head soon. Both Texas, the state with the busiest death house, and Ohio have said they would introduce a new lethal injection protocol in the next couple of months. Officials in both of those states have said in court filings that they would run out of their stockpiles in September.
"Corrections departments often buy a year's supply of the drugs they use, but it has a shelf life and it's expiring," said Richard C. Dieter, the executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center. "I think we are about to have some new breakthroughs on what the states are using. A lot of them will probably follow whatever Texas decides to do."
On Wednesday, the Missouri Supreme Court decided to allow executions using propofol to move ahead in October and November. There is no question that it would kill, but since it has never been used in an execution, death penalty opponents say, there is no way to say how much pain might be involved or what dose should be administered.
Arkansas had announced that it would use pentobarbital in its executions, but when that drug became unavailable, the governor refused to schedule any more executions until the state came up with a substitute — which has not happened.
California also announced, in June, that it would abandon the use of a three-drug cocktail and is studying what to replace it with.
"This drug issue is a temporary problem that is entirely fixable," Mr. Scheidegger said. "It is not a long-term impediment to the resumption of capital punishment."
Death penalty opponents, however, feel that the rejection of one drug after another will inevitably limit capital punishment.
Executions in the United States reached their height in 1999, when 98 people were put to death.
Since then, there has been a slow, steady drop in both the number of executions and the number of people being given the death penalty — in part because the rapid growth of life-without-parole sentences has given prosecutors a powerful plea-bargaining tool.
There were 43 executions in the United States in 2012, Mr. Dieter said, and a slightly lower number — 30 to 40 — is expected this year.
At the same time, six states — Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico and New York — have abandoned the death penalty in recent years.
Still, some 3,125 inmates were on death row in the United States as of January, including a handful in those states that have recently abandoned the death penalty. And advocates on both sides of the question say that public opinion polls continue to show strong public support for capital punishment.
"This issue of the drugs is just a way to stop things or slow them down," said Robert Blecker, a professor of criminal law at New York Law School and a death penalty supporter. "It's an abolitionist tactic to gum up the works. I know why they're doing it. From their perspective, every death delayed is a day in favor of abolition. It's just another tactic."

Alexandria, Arabic Al Iskandariyah, city (1996 pop. 3,328,196), N Egypt, on the Mediterranean Sea. It is at the western extremity of the Nile River delta, situated on a narrow isthmus between the sea and Lake Mareotis (Maryut). The city is Egypt's leading port, a commercial and transportation center, and the heart of a major industrial area where refined petroleum, asphalt, cotton textiles, processed food, paper, and plastics are produced. The Univ. of Alexandria; the Institute of Alexandria, an affiliate of Al Azhar Univ. in Cairo; a college of nursing; and medical and textile research centers are in the city, which is also the Middle East headquarters of the World Health Organization (WHO). The Greco-Roman Museum in Alexandria houses a vast collection of Coptic, Roman, and Greek art. The striking Bibliotheca Alexandrina contains library, museum, planetarium, and conference facilities.
Much of ancient Alexandria is covered by modern buildings or is underwater; only a few landmarks are readily accessible, including ruins of the emporium and the Serapeum and a granite shaft (88 ft/27 m high) called Pompey's Pillar. Nothing remains of the lighthouse on the Pharos (3d cent. BC), which was one of the Seven Wonders of the World , and the site of the royal palace lies under the older (east) harbor.

Alexander Performance Scale Test kit, Edinburgh, Scotland, 1946-1950
Developed in 1935 by William Picken Alexander (1905-93), the Alexander Performance Scale Test was designed to discover which type of secondary school a child should go to. The Education Act 1944 made education free up to the age of 15 and created three types of school: grammar schools with an academic focus, technical schools which focused on learning a trade and secondary moderns for children not placed at either of the other two types. The kit had three tests: the Passalong Test, Kohs' Block Design Test, and the Cube Construction Test where children made patterns of coloured blocks according to the illustrations while being timed. The 11 plus exam was also used to determine which type of school a child should go to.

I have recently treated myself to a new computer.
I decided from the outset that I had a lot of information on my old desktop which I no longer needed.
I also have become increasingly aware as to how poorly some of my sources have been documented.
I decide to start from scratch entering everyone from the beginning. This proved to be a slow task and I wanted to speed it up a little.
Family Historian has a great facility to compare gedcom files and then merge them after checking.
I decided to start with a group of people with links to certain sources. Unfortunately even this small group took longer than I thought and I have been left with a larger file which I am gradually trying to ensure contains the correct source citations.
I know I will get ther eventually and the final result will be much better organised.
I just think I will need a great deal of patience.
When I have finished I will let you know how I organised everything.
Bye for now

The Wabash Glee Club brought the Salter Hall audience to its feet during the final number at Saturday night's Homecoming Concert.
Their rousing and playful performance of "There's Nothing Like a Dame" from Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific capped an entertaining and remarkably diverse hour of samplings from four of the College's music ensembles (Click here and here for photo albums).
Wamidan, the College's world music and dance group under the artistic direction of David Akombo, opened the concert with "Njanjanjanyi", a welcoming song from Uganda. Led by choreographer and drummer Sister Stella Sabina Santana, the dance and drumming piece included students and staff from Wabash, DePauw University, and Crawfordsville High School. The Wabash and DePauw contingent includes students and instructors from Uganda, Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa.
Wamidan's welcoming song was followed by two very different works—one by Johann Sebastian Bach, the second from John Philip Sousa—performed by the Wabash Brass Ensemble, directed by Professor Peter Hulen.
Steve Robinett and the Wabash Jazz Band got the band in the mood for the Glee Club's rousing finale, playing works by Neal Hefti and Count Basie which included some of the College's most gifted musicians in brief improvisations.
Leading off with "Old Wabash," Glee Club Director Richard Bowen invited alumni to join the group for "Alma Mater" before the students' fun-loving take on the South Pacific tune inspired a standing ovation—a promising beginning to the College ensembles' concert season.

There are few things more disappointing than reaching into your refrigerator for a nice fresh piece of produce only to be greeted by a slimy, stinking glob of mush in a bag. While you could have sworn you just went to the store or had that CSA delivered mere days ago, fruits and vegetables have a remarkable way of escaping even our most diligent of cooking schedules. Food waste is not just a personal problem, but one that strains the resources of an already stressed planet. Seeing as 40% of all food produced goes uneaten, a product like FreshPaper that can extend the life of your groceries up to four times longer doesn't just make economic sense — it's something that could potentially help conserve energy, help the environment, and avoid that embarrassing smell of rotting broccoli in your house.
Developed by entrepreneur Kavita Shukla, Fenugreen FreshPaper is a sheet of herb-infused paper that when slipped into a bowl of fruit, pantry, or vegetable drawer, can inhibit mold and bacteria growth. The proprietary blend of spices has the potential to keep produce fresh for up to four times longer than sitting alone in the crisper, and each piece lasts about two to three weeks. A sort of "dryer sheet" for veggies, FreshPaper is certified organic and completely biodegradable.
Shukla was inspired to create FreshPaper after many childhood trips back to India to visit her family. Fascinated by her grandmother's blend of spices to ward off illness, she began to study the effects of the compounds on rotting produce in high school, eventually fusing the mixture into paper and patenting the invention in her senior year. At first, she intended to start Fenugreek FreshPaper as a nonprofit, but as a college student she wasn't particularly well versed in the ins and outs of philanthropy organizations. In 2010, she teamed up with a partner to open up a booth at a farmer's market to sell FreshPaper, and word began to spread.
The product was recently picked up by Whole Foods, and the increase in sales has allowed Shukla to initiate a buy-one-give-one program that benefits local food banks, beginning with areas affected by Hurricane Sandy. She hopes to eventually bring FreshPaper into school lunch programs as well as work with NGOs to introduce the product to farmers both at home and developing nations.
"As we start to learn more about what's going on with food waste, we realize that there's water involved, there's energy costs, land, resources, that go into creating the food that we eat," she says. "And with the economy, people are becoming much more conscious of being wasteful at home, because they know not only are they struggling, but there are people in the U.S. that have no access to fresh food at all. It seems that everyone is coming to understand the importance of buying less or conserving what we have, and how that fits into the larger food crisis."
FreshPaper can be found at Whole Foods markets and select shops around the country. You can also pick up a sample pack of 8 sheets for $4.99 or 10 packs of 8 for $42.99 through the FreshPaper online store.

You may have read reports of a new, irresponsibly disclosed vulnerability that affects IE 6.0 SP1. We are aware of this issue and are actively working on an update that addresses the problem, which was introduced with our last security update (MS06-042). This issue only impacts customers running IE 6.0 SP1; customers running Windows XP SP2, Server 2003 SP1, IE 5.01 on Windows 2000, or any of the IE7 betas including Windows Vista are not affected. As far as we know, there are no active exploits at this time. The Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) has released security advisory 923762 with guidance for customers on this issue.
Briefly, after the initial release of MS06-042, we were responsibly informed of a potentially exploitable security vulnerability via a crash in urlmon.dll; we also started receiving reports of customers running into the crash during normal usage. As a result of the security and reliability impact of this bug, we decided not to wait for the next normally scheduled update. We had planned to release the update today, but last night we found an issue that would prevent some customers from being able to deploy the update. As a result, we decided to hold the release until it meets the appropriate level of quality for such a broad distribution.
We've been working hard to improve our update quality over the past few years and built a pretty comprehensive set of checks and balances in our engineering process to prevent mistakes like this. In fact, this will be the first re-release of an IE update in 2.5 years (MS04-004 was the last one). Unfortunately, we missed this issue, plain and simple. In parallel with making the right fix, we have been working through how we prevent similar mistakes from happening again. For instance, we have code-reviewed the past ten months of code check-ins from the developer responsible for this issue. We have also gone through all of our applicable engineering processes and tightened parts based on our learnings from this release. Finally, we are reconsidering our staffing and tools to allow us to scale better to our heavy load periods.
Across the company and the industry, we've seen how hard it is to ship updates in a timely way with high quality. We take responsibility for our mistakes by trying to minimize the customer impact and continually striving to learn from our experiences to do better next time. We will also continue to work with the security researcher community to encourage only responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities. (You can read about some of the issues and challenges on this front on the MSRC blog.)
The MSRC and release teams are hard at work right now in an effort to address this situation. We hope to have this update out to you soon.

migya wrote:I think after evening the series and taking it to the seventh game that the team has to use the small ball as much as possible. The speed and shooting is just too good having Curry, Klay, AI, DGreen and Lee out there together and the defense is good also. With Lee, the pick and roll is his bread and butter and because of his niftiness he can score well with either hand. I like what Lee brings offensively, but it has to take to his strengths, not post ups against DJordan which obviously doesn't work in his favour.
The team has shown they can beat the Clips and step up. We are far better defensively and if the shots start to fall well, we will win rather easily.
I agree with 80% of what you have posted!
Sit Lee down and replace him with Barnes and then this Warrior team can go to a real small ball lineup that can "out-quick" the Clippers! Again, it is not about Lee's talent; it is about his lack of commitment to playing defense that is inexcusable. A defender can never let his man beat him down the court in a transition situation; yet, Lee does this no matter who he is guarding (Griffin, DJordan, etc.)!

'Beast of Hackney Marshes' - has Kula Shaker drummer solved the mystery?
PUBLISHED: 13:12 25 May 2012 | UPDATED: 17:29 25 May 2012
Carmen Valino - freelance on shift
The mystery of the "Beast of Hackney Marshes" may have become a little less mysterious - the drummer from Kula Shaker believes the monster is none other than his massive pet dog, Willow.
Last week, the Gazette published photographs taken by terrified student Helen Murray who says she saw a huge animal as she walked through woods near the River Lea earlier this month.
"I managed to get away but was scared half to death," she said, adding that the creature was bigger than a person and covered in shaggy black fur.
But within a day of the Gazette appearing on newstands, Paul Winter-Hart, the drummer from the 1990s chart-topping group, reckoned he'd solved the mystery.
Paul's wife Nicole contacted us to say she "beast" looked suspiciously similar to the family's pet pooch.
"I'm still laughing," said the 42-year-old, who designs clothes for the children's fashion website www.nixieclothing.com. "I think this poor girl, Helen, saw Willow our dog.
"My husband recognised her straight away when he saw the paper. He bought a copy to show me and said, 'Look, Willow's made the front page!'
"I knew it was her immediately. It's funny because our friends call her 'The Beast' and now she's 'The Beast of Hackney Marshes'!"
Willow is a four-year-old Newfoundland, a giant breed of dog, and Nicole and Paul, 40, and the couple's children Ivy, 12, and Faye, nine, often walk her along the river near their home in Lower Clapton.
Nicole said: "I don't know where we were when those pictures were taken - Willow must have run up ahead of us."
Chunky Willow stands over 5ft tall when she is on her hind legs, but Helen, who was frightened on the Marshes, doesn't believe the family pet is the monster she saw.
"That dog is so cute," she said, when the Gazette showed her photos of Willow.
"I'm pretty sure it wasn't a dog as it was far too big. And its build wasn't dog-like."

We believe in the principle of natural horsemanship. That means we keep our horses as naturally as possible and care for them with love and affection.
Our horses are properly fed, shoed and have fitting, comfortable high-class saddle tack. We do not make use of underfed and untrained village horses.
Most of our horses are Marwari horses, indigenous to this region, perfectly adapted to the geographic and climatic conditions of Rajasthan and very comfortable to ride. Their ears are distinctively curved inwards in a lyre-shape, which makes them unique and easily recognizable. Like many other ancient breeds they have a forth gait, the so-called Revaal, a type of rack, very relaxing for the rider.
We have horses for both beginners and advanced riders and also provide riding lessons if necessary.
All our horses are forward going, well trained and a pleasure to ride.
All our safaris are organized as close to nature as possible and are eco-friendly. We use local supplies and groceries and prevent unnecessary waste. Cooking and lighting is done with gas as not to cut done forest wood.
Our safaris provide rural employment as we occupy local people as helpers, guides or artists. We strongly emphazise local culture and try to help preserve it in giving the peaople a sense of value and pride.
Our main aim is to show the unique culture and ecology of Rajasthan to our guests and connect this with an unforgettable equestrian experience.
On our safaris, the guests stay overnight in our tented safari camp in the Indian bush. Every evening we set up our camp at a different location, sometimes next to a little village, sometimes in the loneliness of the Indian landscape.
Each of our camp-site is chosen with the greatest care in order to ensure the safety of the guests and the scenery of the surroundings.
If possible we set up the safari camp at a place near a small lake or on top of a hill thus giving our riders prime views and lots of things to see such as watching kingfishers or flamingos fishing for food in one of the many lakes of Rajasthan or observing a village farmer farming his field with a pair of oxen.
In some places we offer activities such as night safaris or nature walks so the riders can enjoy some of the local fauna and flora, spotting animals or rare plants.
Our safari camp, designed in the fashion of the traditional hunting camps of the former Maharajas and Jagirdas, is equipped with comfortable double tents, a bathroom trolley, a central dining area and an open-air kitchen.
The tents are deluxe double tents (size 10x10 feet) with comfortable beds and a carpet on the floor. There is a roofed entrance where the guests can leave their shoes.
In our camp we cater to all of our guests wishes. We serve a continental breakfast with fresh fruits of the season, packed lunch, tea and an Indian style dinner, prepared by our chief. In the evening we organize an extensive entertainment program with Rajasthani folkdances, music performances, etc.
A sanitary trolley provides toilets and cold/hot showers.
During the ride or afterwards we offer local sightseeing trips if possible. That can be a village haveli, a castle or fort, a temple or a natural sight.
If no sight of interest is at hand, something else is prearranged, such as a bullock cart ride, henna application, an elephant ride, etc.
In the evenings the days are ending with a discussion or pleasant talk around a cozy campfire watching the stars.
For beginners or families we also arrange stationary programs in and around Udaipur with overnight stays at a hotel in Udaipur or on our farm.
The program is flexible and includes sightseeing, riding, riding lessons or other activities such as camel cart rides, elephant rides, horse carriage rides or jeep safaris.
We however do not take non-riders without prior riding experience on our safaris. For beginners we arrange special "light safaris" with reduced riding hours and easier terrain.
Included in our price is full boarding with all non-alcoholic beverages. We serve continental breakfast with fruits of the season, milk and yoghurt are usually available.
Lunch is taken as picnic lunch, usually a choice of light vegetarian Indian food and fruits.
After arrival in the safari camp we serve afternoon tea including tea/coffee/cold drinks and different snacks such as pancakes, sandwiches, fruits, etc.
In the evening a three-course Indian dinner is served including soup, main course and dessert.
We handle every safari personally so that our riders feel at home. Every detail is taken care of and no wish is left open.

SapphireSteel Software has released Amethyst 2 Ultimate, a visual IDE for Flex, Flash, and ActionScript developers. Amethyst supports team development with multiple-project solutions, named build configurations, incremental compilation, and integration with TeamServer.
More Insights

- Managing the Risk of Post-breach or Resident Attacks
- Online Malware & Threats: A Profile of Today's Security Posture
- [Free Virtual Event] Breach Response 101
- Extending the Value of SD-WAN with Cloud Unified Communications
It can share a codebase with other IDEs including Flash Builder and Flex Builder to allow teams to work on a project using a mix of development tools. Amethyst imports Flash IDE (e.g. CS4/CS5) projects so that animators may continue working on timeline-based development in the Flash IDE while programmers have access to Amethyst's advanced editor and debugger.
This news stems from comments made when Adobe removed the visual designer from Flash Builder 4.7 — at that time Flex developers who needed a visual design tool were left "stranded", says SapphireSteel.
So whereas Flash Builder has removed its Flex visual Designer, Amethyst 2 (which exists as a Flash Platform IDE for Microsoft Visual Studio) has actually extended its visual design support. It now not only has a drag-and-drop Designer for Flex; it also includes a "pure Flash" Designer to support form-based design (with similar capabilities to Windows Forms in C#) for Flash applications that don't use Flex.
Amethyst 2 Ultimate includes tools for ActionScript and Flash developers including a "bubble-based" debugger that lets developers step through code in the form of linked call-graphs, with each called function shown in a separate popup "bubble".
Also included here is a Graphical profiler that analyzes the efficiency of a running program and displays a memory map, the Developer Scratchpad, which is a docked panel to store code snippets or even selected methods in popup bubbles — and an SWF obfuscator so there is no need to buy a separate tool to protect your code as Amethyst has one built in.
"Amethyst 2 Ultimate builds upon the existing features of Amethyst 1. It has the most extensive editing and debugging features available for Flash and Flex developers. The multi-window editor has code collapsing, extensive refactoring, 76 code color options, and fast IntelliSense. It can be used to design, debug, and deploy applications for the web, the desktop, or mobile devices," said the company.

Background on the 2016 Building Energy Efficiency Standards
The Warren-Alquist Act, enacted in 1976, mandated that the Energy Commission develop and periodically update Building Energy Efficiency Standards for the state of California. These Standards address newly constructed buildings and additions and alterations to existing buildings. The Standards have, in combination with appliance efficiency standards and utility-sponsored incentive programs, strongly contributed to California's per capita electricity consumption levels remaining relatively flat since the mid-1970s. First adopted in 1977, the Standards have been periodically updated on an approximately three-year cycle. The Standards update is conducted in California with the following energy policy documents:The 2003 Energy Action Plan (EAP) established California's "loading order" policy for prioritizing energy resources to address the State's growing energy demands. Energy efficiency is the highest priority in the loading order, followed by demand response, and then electricity generation from renewable energy resources. The 2005 Energy Action Plan II and the 2008 Energy Action Plan Update further underscored the States commitment to the plan by adding more dimensions to these policy areas in the backdrop of Global warming.
The Energy Commission's 2013 Integrated Energy Policy Report (IEPR) emphasized the role of building energy efficiency in meeting California's climate change mandates to achieve ...
The Energy Commission's 2009 Integrated Energy Policy Report (IEPR) continues to emphasize the role of building energy efficiency in meeting California's climate change mandates to achieve greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions. Energy efficiency is identified as the first strategy for accomplishing GHG reduction targets because it is the least cost, most environmentally sensitive and expeditious approach to reduce the contribution to climate change in the building sector, which is second only to on-road vehicles in statewide GHG emissions. The IEPR recommends that a statewide efficiency target be set at 100 percent of economic potential. The report concludes that for the Standards to reach the aggressive goals in the state's energy and climate change policy reports and initiatives, and the GHG emission reduction mandates in legislation, vigorous energy efficiency coupled with technologies like solar photovoltaic systems will have to be accomplished.
The 2007 Integrated Energy Policy Report (IEPR) established the goal that new building standards achieve "net zero energy" levels by 2020 for residences and by 2030 for commercial buildings. A net zero energy building consumes only as much energy on an annual basis as can be generated with an on-site renewable energy system. The Energy Commission has begun a path toward a tiered approach to achieve zero net energy in future building standards. The base tier will be the traditional mandatory standard that increases in stringency with every code cycle. Additional tiers will be voluntary and represent a "reach" standard for advanced levels of energy efficiency. The intent of the advanced, voluntary tiers is to provide the industry and marketplace with a framework for differentiating highly energy-efficient buildings from standard buildings and to pilot these enhanced features in the field to see how well they work before determining which of the measures should be included in future mandatory standards. This proceeding will be the first standards update cycle where mandatory and reach levels of standards will be developed in parallel.
A 2005 Governor's Executive Order and 2006 statute establish GHG reduction goals and mandates for California. The Climate Action Initiative (Executive Order S-3-05, June 2005) set the following GHG emission reduction targets for California: by 2020, reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels, and by 2050, reduce GHG emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels. The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Assembly Bill 32, Núñez, Stats. 2006, Ch. 488 [AB 32]) codified the 2020 GHG emission reduction target into law. Effective Building Standards are an important tool for the state to achieve its GHG goals.
The Green Building Standards Code first published in July 2008 and updated for publication in 2010, codifies voluntary "reach" standards for energy efficiency, as compared with the mandatory Standards, for newly constructed residential and nonresidential buildings. (See 24 Cal. Code Regs, Part 11.) The Green Building Standards Code established tiered energy performance levels of 15 percent and 30 percent more stringent than the mandatory 2008 Standards. Local jurisdictions may adopt the Green Building Standards Code as mandatory at the local level. Local jurisdictions may also adopt privately developed green building standards that are at least as stringent as the Building Energy Efficiency Standards and the Green Building Standards Code mandatory provisions. The energy provisions of these locally adopted green building standards are required to be approved by the Energy Commission to ensure that they actually are more stringent than the Standards and that the local government has adopted a cost effectiveness analysis for the green building standards through a public process. In approving these local energy and green building ordinances, the Commission seeks a written commitment on the part of the local government to actively encourage compliance with and enforce both the state mandatory standards and the energy and green building codes.The California Public Utility Commission's (CPUC) California Long Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan, dated July 2008, endorses the Energy Commission's zero net energy goals for all newly constructed homes by 2020 and for all newly constructed commercial buildings by 2030. The California Investor Owned Utilities authored the Plan under the direction of the CPUC, and these utilities are now implementing public goods-funded incentive programs for the 2009-2012 program period that support the implementation of this strategic plan.
The California Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan January 2011 Update This Plan sets forth a roadmap for energy efficiency in California through the year 2020 and beyond. It articulates a long-term vision and goals for each economic sector and identifies specific near-term, mid-term and long-term strategies to assist in achieving those goals.
The ARB Climate Change Scoping Plan (May 2009) also identifies strategies to achieve the 2020 GHG emissions limits. Those strategies include zero net energy buildings; more stringent building codes and appliance efficiency standards; broader standards for new types of appliances and for water efficiency; improved compliance and enforcement of existing standards; and voluntary efficiency and green building targets beyond mandatory codes.
The Green Building Standards Code, ARB's Climate Change Scoping Plan and the CPUC's Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan all include the concept of a tiered approach to implementing energy efficiency in newly constructed buildings. This concept has been successfully implemented in the New Solar Home Partnership and the California Solar Initiative, where either a Tier I (15%) or a Tier II (30%) level of energy efficiency beyond mandatory code levels is required before an incentive can be received for the installation of a solar electric system. The Energy Commission intends to carry this concept further in the upcoming update to the Standards by developing, in parallel, both mandatory and voluntary (or "reach") energy efficiency code requirements.
Assembly Bill 1109 (Huffman, Stats. 2007, Ch. 534) requires the Energy Commission to adopt minimum energy efficiency standards for all general purpose lights by the end of 2008. The Energy Commission adopted such standards on December 3, 2008. The legislation includes requirements to reduce average statewide electrical energy consumption by 2018 for indoor residential lighting by not less than 50 percent and for indoor commercial and outdoor lighting by not less than 25 percent compared to 2007 levels. The Energy Commission has taken a number of initial steps toward these requirements, including the adoption of the 2008 Title 20 Appliance Energy Efficiency Regulations and subsequent updates, the 2008 and 2013 Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards. The Commission expects a number of additional efforts will be needed to make further progress to reach the requirements in AB 1109. These are likely to include further updates to the Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, additional Title 20 Appliance Energy Efficiency Regulations (including moving the lighting control regulations from Title 24 to Title 20 - see www.energy.ca.gov/appliances/battery_chargers/ for more information), federal lighting standards, as well as other strategies, such as utility rebates, customer education, and active support from the lighting industry.
Assembly Bill 1560 (Huffman, Stats. 2007, Ch. 532) requires the Energy Commission to prescribe, by regulation, water efficiency and conservation standards for newly constructed residential and non-residential buildings, to reduce the wasteful, uneconomic, inefficient or unnecessary consumption of energy, including the energy associated with the use of water.

Similar to many of you, I watched with horror the events of last Friday in Newtown, CT. As an educator and a parent the event was particularly painful. We all grieve for those involved in this tragedy. In Northside, many have asked about our security procedures and some have expressed interest in more security measures being installed. I wanted to update you on the measures we have in place and where we plan to go in the future with respect to school safety.

My definition of Easter would be a superstitious ritual that has no place in modern times. Whats your definition?
Views: 800
Candy for breakfast day.
Eating chocolate whilst being hungover and laughing to myself as I get a tongue lashing about not going to mass off my family because "I just want to be different" before telling my family I don't believe in cosmic jewish zombies
I love Easter. When I have kids we're going to call it bunny day, and they are gonna have a lot of fun, and no stories about undead homophobes. Also I think I'll call Christmas Santa day.
Easter? What's that?
A four day weekend surrounding the first Sunday after the full moon following the northern hemisphere's vernal equinox. (Thanks Wikipedia!)
I ,for one, welcome our new chocolate bunny overlords.
A Pagan holiday totally removed from Christianity having its roots in the Babylonian Mysteries and Mithraism.
Week long vacation, lots of fun in pools and beaches and relax in the middle of the year!
I love the idea of chocolate rabbits and bilbies and eggs usurping the story of a bloke nailed, tortured, on a cross. Eating chocolate is much more fun.
We atheists often subvert the religious holidays to something non-religious. For example, I think the idea of a time of year to reconnect with family through gift-giving is, overall, a good idea. So, yes, I celebrate Xmas (as opposed to Christmas). I don't pay a lot of attention to Easter, though, except that I have grandkids, so colorful cookies, chocolate bunnies, etc., but no catechism.

Taking a Fat Woman's Blood Pressure
(A short word about the term "fat." As I use it, it is not a negative, but merely a discriptive adjective. Using euphemisms like "plump," "fluffy," and "full-figured" are much more insulting to me than the word fat. Many of us who've dealt with fat prejudice for way too much time have come to "reclaim" the word fat so it doesn't have the biting sting it once did, especially when hurled as an epithet. If you are terribly uncomfortable with the word, first, look inside and see why... and second, feel free to substitute the euphemism of your choice.)
It happened again.
I went to the doctor for a follow-up appointment and was called into the ante-cubicle-room, sat down and was asked what my "complaint" was. It's always such a funny question to me because it says exactly what I'm there for on the screen in front of her. But, I suppose if the complaint has changed from "ankle pain" to "hair falling out," that would be something to note.
"I'm going to take your blood pressure" as she grabs the cuff, a small one (for my big arm) and heads for my forearm (at least she didn't consider putting it on my upper arm!). "It's not going to fit," I say, yet she continues her forward movement. "It's not going to fit," I repeat -and watch her wrap it around. I didn't let her get to the Velcro, pulled my arm out and said, more sternly this time, "It's. Not. Going. To. Fit." She huffs a little and has to (oh my god! the difficulty of the chore!) unscrew the small cuff and then, (tell me it isn't so!) has to pick up the large cuff and (argh!) screw it on the cuff thingie.
Knowing my arm (it's really flappy floppy - I really should tattoo the American flag on it or something), even the large cuff dorks out, electronically squeezing the hell out of my flesh, reading, "Good god! What is that under there! I have to do it again." And again. And again. I don't even go there anymore.
Instead, I have the Fake Nurse (the Tech who thinks she owns the hospital) just put the darn thing on my lower arm.
But, can I tell you how many medical people have no idea that that can even be done? A lot of 'em.
I've taken to watching them, amusingly (when I'm bored), try to figure it out. Where does the tubing go? Oh! up where it's supposed to be like the upper arm cuffing (antecubital), right? "It's not reading there, either." sigh (With a manual cuff, I expect a "Hmmm I don't hear anything," but [and I'm not kidding] there are techs that will make up a number instead of admitting they don't know the answer.) No, this is the wrong way to put a cuff on the lower arm.
The Correct Way to put a blood pressure cuff on the lower arm:
Holding the cuff, let the tubing fall towards the floor, the place where the tubing goes into the cuff closest to the floor as well. Then, as you wrap the cuff around the lower arm, the tubing goes over your inner wrist; the tubing can rest in your hand (don't grab it, though!). This can be done with both electric and manual sphygmomanometers (the technical name for the cuff contraption).
Once the cuff is on, the electric cuff can have its button pushed to get it going, no muss no fuss. With the manual cuff, the technician/provider needs to use a stethoscope to listen for the heart/pulse beats.
(An Aside) Sphygmomanometer Tutorial
When we take the blood pressure manually, once the cuff is on securely, we pump it up beyond what we think will be the highest/top/systolic/when the heart squeezes number. I was taught to pump it up to 200mm Hg in fat folks... WAY too tight and high for the fat women I've had in my practice... a nasty assumption that fat women will have high blood pressure. (I have notoriously low blood pressure, so low that, on more than one occasion, the tech thought the cuff was broken!) When I am the pumper-upper, I usually go up to about 170-180mm Hg, then begin the release of pressure.
When we release the pressure, it needs to be done slowly because we're listening for the thumping of the pulse in the stethoscope (please don't talk to the person doing your BP; we're counting.) We're listening for two things: 1. when the pulse begins (the systolic/upper number) and 2. when the pulse ends (diastolic/lower number). So, say I pump the cuff up to 170mm Hg then release the pressure (with the twisty button) and hear the first thump when the gauge is at 128. The thumping continues, but when the gauge says 72, all of a sudden, the pulse disappears. The person's BP is 128/74… the 74 being the last number we heard a heartbeat. While we're doing the blood pressure, we memorize the numbers (repeating them over and over and over) until we write it (the BP number) down. Note the above numbers are all even. It's not amusing to hear people use odd numbers with manual cuffs because there are no odd number choices. What they are trying to say is: I don't know what the hell I'm doing. If that happens, ask for someone else to take it.
For typical blood pressure cuff placement, the stethoscope goes right below the cuff at the bend inside of the elbow (antecubital). When putting the cuff on the lower arm, the stethoscope listens inside the wrist (ulnar).
(Aside over)
In order to get an accurate blood pressure, there are a few "rules." If any of them are amiss and you are told your BP is high, think about the steps, tell the nurse/aid/doc you want to wait 5 minutes and re-take it again. Then begin the steps.
When they return to do your blood pressure,
This should give you a much more accurate reading.
If a practitioner takes your BP, doesn't like the number and re-pumps the cuff on the same arm without removing it for awhile, they are doing it incorrectly. That dorky/stupid machine automatically will do the same thing if it doesn't get a good reading. Ask for a few minutes to rest, without talking, etc., then have them put the cuff on the other arm. If they whine or balk, tough caca; this is your health, in your records. You have a right to have your BP done correctly.
Elevated Blood Pressure Readings During Pregnancy
When the blood pressure is elevated during pregnancy (130/90 is the dividing line, but is arbitrary depending on the person's baseline… another discussion for another day.), the above steps can be extremely important to do.
For some women, getting their blood pressure done is the most stressful part of their prenatal visits, especially if they are in that borderline or high BP place. If your blood pressure is always higher at the doctor's or midwife's office than it is when you take it somewhere else, this is called "White Coat Syndrome" –it has a name it's so common. The breathing and visualization can help ensure you're getting an accurate reading. Everyone can practice lowering their blood pressures at will, doing the above steps, with or without having the real BP taken, but these practice sessions can be really important for those with White Coat Syndrome so a diagnosis of hypertension/Pregnancy Induced Hypertenion/Pre-eclampsia is not assumed.
But, what if you've done all the steps and it's still high? The standard of care is to have mom lie on her left side for about 15 minutes before re-taking it, usually with mom still on her left side. This has long been the standard in medicine as well as midwifery. However, I've seen a few studies that de-bunk the myth of using the left lateral position's blood pressure reading as accurate. Perinatologists I've spoken to agreed; the practice of putting a mother on her left side, for readings is a false sense of security because the true reading needs to be done with a mom sitting. The issue of left-side bedrest is another issue I'm not going to get into here. This is already too long!
One more short story. In 1993, I fell at a birth center where I was working and went to the ER. The tech, a young guy, took the small cuff and put it on my upper arm. I told him, over and over, it wouldn't fit, but he kept pumping it up anyway, the cuff's Velcro noisily unfastened each time. He was getting pissed, so put it on again, roughly, even though I told him to get a large cuff and proceeded to use medical tape (not kidding) to wrap around the cuff to hold it on. He must have used a roll! When he pumped it up, sure as shit, the tape ripped, the cuff fell off –and I started crying. Why I cried because he was the asshole is beyond me, but I wasn't as "evolved" about fat as I am now. I told him to get his supervisor and when the Nurse came over and saw what he'd done, she was the sweetest and kindest woman, grabbing the large cuff that wasn't even 2 feet away, talked to me like I was a human and not a blob of flesh and told me she would absolutely correct his behavior as well as explain to him about human dignity for everyone, our prejudices be damned. I hugged her before she walked away.
After that, I realized I had to take the reigns with regards to my fat care; not leave it in the hands of those who should know better. They don't. But, hey, we can educate them, can't we!

Harry's pov
"Ron, Ron, Ron! Wake up!" I yelled at Ron from the other side of the room.
He's just stubborn, he wouldn't even move. "Mobiliarbus!" I yelled swinging my wand swiftly.
"What the bloody hell!" Ron yelled when he flew off the bed instantly.
"Ron get up!"
"I'm up, I'm up!" he yelled lifting himself up from the floor. "Now! What is it?"
"Did you put a letter in my room?"
"What letter?" he asked drowsily.
"Ron will you ever be helpful? Never mind Ron I'll just open it," I said grabbing the letter from my pocket.
It was in a peach envelope closed with a drop of wax that had a "V" in the middle. The return address on the front said it was from Volterra, Italy. But how did they find us? And who were they?
I opened the envelope slipping my finger in the middle flap and taking out a piece of white paper in the inside. "Listen Ron," I announced trying to keep him awake.
"Dear Harry," I read, but how did they know my name?" DEAR HARRY, YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHO THIS LETTER BELONGS TO BUT BEFORE YOU FIND OUT, YOU WILL HAVE TO KNOW:
"Harry what does it mean?" Ron questioned.
"It means we have to go Ron! Go with Hermoine and I'll meet you there." I responded.
"O-OK, but how do you know its true"
"That's why you're going to meet me at Hermione's! Now go!" He got up trying to find his balance and went rushing out the door.
I couldn't leave yet I had to find a few things. I got the envelope with the address and then I looked at Ron's bed and there was his wand. Ron could be an idiot at times. I went and scooped it up, putting it in my other hand and putting the envelope in my pocket.
That should be it! I thought. I flew out the room, literally, and went to find Ron and Hermoine.
*******Bella's Pov
The room felt colder than usual when I walked in. Edward was in our bed and Nessie was taking a short nap in her room. She had gotten quite older now. She looked like a 15 year old, even though it was about 5 years ago when she was born. Her features had not changed much just that her hair got longer and more feathery now taking some of Rene's traits, but she still had some curls falling down to her cheeks. She didn't sleep much anymore they were usually naps once in a while.
I sat down on the bed with a loud "ugh!"
Edward turned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing its just we haven't really had much time to spend with each other lately." I looked at him and saw a crease forming above his eyebrows.
"I'm sorry, my love its just you know how busy we've been lately and now that Nessie doesn't sleep as much we just haven't found time." His voice was still velvet with a hint of concern. "But you know she still has about three hours of sleep left," a roar managed to find a way out of his throat as soon as he leaped towards me.
"Oh Edward! Your gonna wake her!"
"Don't worry we won't. Trust me" he said lifting my face to his and dazzling me with his topaz eyes.
"What a cheater" I said lifting myself higher too touch his lips with mine. He picked me up and settled me in bed jumping up and landing swiftly by my side, and making our chests meet.
*******Harry's Pov
I settled my feet before opening the door, shifting my weight evenly. Before I turned the knob, Ron opened the door saying, "Your here, what took you so long?"
"This" I said giving him his wand. "It can come in handy."
"Oh yes, my wand. I forgot, thanks!"
"Sure," I replied darting in through the door. Hermione's room was dimly lit, and when I stepped inside I could feel a faint cold breeze brushing my forehead. Hermione was in the end of the room sitting quietly on a darkly colored chair. She was reading a book and waving her wand back and forth.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Reading and practicing," she said turning up from her book and looking at me.
"For what?"
"Well Ron told me we were going to Italy, so I'm getting ready."
"No! You mean I'm going to Italy. I'm not so sure you and Ron will do the same!" I snapped.
"Ok! Enough!" Ron said trotting and sitting down next to Hermione in another chair. "First we'll have to discuss about that letter!"
"Oh Ron!" She said surprised. " That was the smartest thing I've heard you say," Hermione giggled. "But he's got a point."
"I guess we should, but that doesn't mean you two are going as well!" I replied. "Ok so read this," I said throwing the letter towards Hermione.
Hermione caught the letter and opened it quickly. She looked inside and read over the letter. "Who's it from?" she asked.
"That's what we're trying to figure out, and why I'm going to Italy," I clarified.
"Well we're coming!" Ron snarled.
"And that's that Harry, you can't go alone," Hermione added.
"Well we still don't know how we're going to go. We can't just go there without the people around us thinking something's wrong," I whispered.
"We can always tell them we're going for a vacation," Hermione suggested.
"Yea and we have enough money for plane tickets." I said sarcastically.
"We can just fly out?" Ron asked. "Or Hermione can apparate us."
"Yes. So when do we leave." Hermione questioned, ecstatic that we were leaving for once.
"Tonight!" I replied.
"Tonight!" Ron and Hermione yelled together.
"What, is there an echo here. Yes tonight, the sooner the better. We got to find out what these people are talking about before it might be too late. So start packing, I'll meet you here at midnight, Hermione. Follow me Ron we got to pack." I said.
"Fine! Give me a minute I'll catch up" he said looking at Hermione.
"Ok but quickly," I said walking out the door.
*******Bella's Pov
"Wow Edward," I said putting my leg over his cold hard chest. "That was...wow!"
"I love you," he said, managing another roar to come up.
"Momma, daddy what's all that noise? I heard a growl," my Nessie said peeking through the door. She saw my leg and said "Oh!" and began to close the door. "I'll leave you two alone!"
"Wait!" I replied taking my leg off Edward's chest. If I could still blush this would be one of those times. "We were just talking."
"Sure mom!" Nessie said. Edward followed with a chuckle.
"What?" I said turning at Edward.
"Nothing, I'll tell you later," he looked down at me, staring with his topaz eyes and then turned to Nessie.
"Now as for you, aren't you supposed to be asleep."
"I got hungry," she responded.
"Oh!" I said. "Well do you want to go hunt? I guess we can all use a midnight snack. Do you want to go Edward?"
"Of course!"
We all left the house. And ran through the forest passing trees and moss and anything in our paths until we were several miles away from home. I relaxed my muscles and smelled the air. Taking every scent possible. The first scent I caught was of about 4 small deer. I looked at Edward and he nodded in disapproval. I guess he was up to something more. Something better. I smelled even farther realizing there was a pack of large wolves and their cubs. I laughed at how horrible it would be if we killed them thinking of Jacob. Further from the wolves were about three large animals. I was pretty sure they were some wild cats or something around their family. Maybe they were bobcats.
I noticed Edward was in position to leap and go for the kill, and Nessie was behind him getting ready too. So I began to get into position and hardened my muscles getting them ready for the run. A loud growl escaped my mouth and I leaped into action.
I ran through trees dodging them with ease. When I was about a yard from the animal's view I jumped and landed next to it without its notice. I then sunk my teeth into it leaving it unconscious. I sucked its blood until it was dry and looked up at my family. Edward was already fixing him self up and Nessie was finishing off her catch.
"Are you done Nessie?" I asked.
"Yea almost."
"Lets head home," Edward said putting his shirt in place.
"Ok," I said fixing my hair and getting ready to run.
We rushed back home in the darkness of night. When we were home Nessie said she was going to go with her grandma and her aunt Rosalie.
"So we now have alone time," Edward said ecstatic.
"Yes we do."
"Are you ready," He said lifting myself onto his body.
I was unbuttoning my shirt when Edward stared up as if something was wrong, a crease of sadness on his face, and sorrow in his eyes.
"What's wrong Edward?"
"Its Alice."
"What about Alice? Is she ok? What happened Edward tell me?"
"She's had a vision we've got to go."
"What did she see?" I said getting up off of him and landing softly on my feet.
"I'll tell you with the rest of them lets go."
We ran and were at the Cullen's mansion in less than a second. Everyone was at the back waiting for us when we got there. Jasper was holding Alice from her waist, as if he was trying to hold her up. Nessie was hugging Rosalie and Emmett was behind them. Carlisle had his back toward us talking to his family and Esme was next to him hanging on to his shoulder.
"What happened?" I said. "Am I the only one who doesn't know?"
"Alice had a vision" Jasper responded looking down at her.
"Well what is it? I demand to know now!" I exploded.
"Alice saw the Volturi." This time it was Emmett who answered.
"And," I added.
"And ... the Volturi were talking to young wizards for help." Rosalie answered.
"Wizards? Help? Is this some kind of joke? How do wizards exist? They're fake, not real. All Hollywood right?" I said turning to Edward.
He looked at me concerned, "Actually, they're real and the Volturi have persuaded the wizards into thinking we were the bad guys. They told them their world was in danger and that we were helping Death Eaters." He looked down and began. "They told the wizards that they needed help. The wizards believed them, and now the Volturi and the wizards will team up and come here to punish us."
"What are Death Eaters?" Jacob said coming out of the door. "And why are they going to punish us?"
Carlisle responded this time turning around to talk to us all. "Death Eaters are groups of wizards and witches led by a dark wizard. The Death Eaters recognize each other by a mark of a black snake on their forearm. They usually wear a mask and black robes and sometimes pointed hats. Sometimes even more elaborate masks and robes. As for why they want to punish us you should know. They're still mad for the reason that we beat them on our last encounter. Remember they tried to destroy us for creating Nessie and using her as an excuse to destroy us, but in the end we were the ones to win.
*******Harry's Pov
We successfully found an empty ally; we looked around and saw if there were any people in seeing distance. Hermione was in charge of getting us to Italy.
She would apparate us there since she had been there before. She closed her eyes and held my hand I grabbed Ron's and he grabbed Hermione's, the next second I noticed we were in a really nice place.

We have noticed a strong association between the three ceramic types pictured here:
- comals (tortilla griddles)
- Texcoco fabric-marked (salt transport vessels), and
- Aztec III black-on-orange.
So what does this mean? Until our seriation work is complete I don't want to speculate too much. Howeever these three types suggest very different patterns of trade and interaction between center and provinces than I documented in Morelos. And if they didn't have comals prior to the Late Postclassic, then they weren't eating torillas. Unfortunately we have been unable to identify vessels for steaming tamales, the logical tortilla alternative.
Stay tuned......
