This supplement is included to acknowledge the pioneering work of the
Bronx alternative space Fashion Moda. Founded by Stefan Eins in a storefront
at Third Avenue near 147th Street in the South Bronx in 1978, Fashion Moda
played a significant role-providing new energy and ideas -in shaping the
art of the 1980's. It was a laboratory where untrained artists and those
with art school backgrounds exchanged ideas, performed, exhibited and made
art-while the neighborhood joined in. Graffiti artists made their transition
from subways to canvas here. Jenny Holzer and Lady Pink collaborated, John
Ahearn and Rigoberto Torres met and began their portrait castings, and Tim
Rollins+KOS found an early venue. Neighborhood locations, ranging from abandoned
school buildings to empty lots, became the raw materials for artists and
their installations- Justen Ladda, Crash, Daze, John Fekner, David Wells,
and David Finn among the artists to use them. Over the years many artists
were a part of the installations and performances. In addition to producing
exhibitions at its South Bronx site, Fashion Moda was a collaborator with
Colab on the historical Times Square Show, exhibited at Documenta
7 in Kessel, West Germany, in 1982 (organized by Stefan Eins and Jenny Holzer),
and at museums around the country. A recent Lehman College Art Gallery exhibition,
Lisa Kahane: A Partial View of Fashion Moda, documented the early years
(1979-83) and the artists, exhibitions, performances, and life in the surrounding
neighborhood. This section also acknowledges an important piece of Bronx
cultural history.

Marque and Reprisal
The Congress shall have Power To ...grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal....Article I, Section 8, Clause 11
The Marque and Reprisal Clause plays an important supporting role in the debate over the original allocation of war powers between the President and Congress. At the time of the Founding, the sovereign authorized holders of letters of marque and reprisal to engage in hostile actions against enemies of the state. The common understanding of "Reprisal" is a seizure of property (or sometimes persons) of a foreign state for redressing an injury committed by that state. Because the word marque is the French equivalent of reprisal, many scholars believe that the constitutional term "Marque and Reprisal" is best understood as a single phrase.
The only serious debate over the meaning of the Marque and Reprisal Clause is whether it extends only to authorizing private parties (known as "privateers") to engage in reprisals for private, commercial gain, or whether it also gives Congress the power to authorize reprisals by the armed forces of the United States for public purposes.
That debate mirrors the larger war powers debate over the Declare War Clause. Congressionalists construe the Declare War Clause and the Marque and Reprisal Clause jointly to cover all forms of hostilities and thereby to deny the President any power whatsoever to initiate hostilities. They contend that the Declare War Clause requires Congress to authorize wars, whereas the Marque and Reprisal Clause requires Congress to authorize lower level hostilities, whether by public forces or by privateers.
Citing revolutionary practice, presidentialists maintain that the Marque and Reprisal Clause was originally understood to give Congress the power to vest sovereign authority to use force against enemy nations and their subjects with private parties only. Exercising that power, Congress could authorize so-called privateers to engage in military hostilities, with neither government funding nor oversight (other than after-the-fact judicial determinations of prizes by the prize courts). Thus, according to presidentialists, the Marque and Reprisal Clause is best read in conjunction with Congress's power over the purse. They argue that the clause is consistent with their overall structural theory of the Constitution, under which Congress has exhaustive authority over all funding of military hostilities, whether through public appropriations or private letters of reprisal, but no power to control directly the President's ability to initiate hostilities with whatever resources Congress has previously made available to him. Under this framework, locating the Marque and Reprisal Clause in Article I prevents the President from engaging in hostilities free from congressional control over resources, whether in the form of public appropriations or the issuance of letters of marque and reprisal. The clause thus helps fill a hole that would otherwise exist in Congress's control over the provision of military resources.
Outside of the law reviews and scholarly debates over the allocation of war powers between Congress and the President, the Marque and Reprisal Clause has played little if any role in modern law. The United States has not issued letters of marque and reprisal since the War of 1812, and has not seriously considered doing so since Andrew Jackson's presidency. In addition, the 1856 Declaration of Paris prohibits privateering as a matter of international law. Although the United States has not ratified the Declaration, it has upheld the ban in practice.
During the Iran-Contra controversy of Ronald Reagan's administration, Members of Congress objected to the President's private financing of hostilities, absent prior congressional consent. Congress did not expressly invoke the Marque and Reprisal Clause, however, in objecting to executive branch action.

2013 Ford Escape Gas Mileage
I just filled our tank with 11.0 gallons. We had less than 40 miles to empty and the actual mileage on that tank was 22.8. With a 15 gallon tank that would have meant we had 4 gallons left and miles to empty should have been around 91. So, there is an issue with tank size or the computer or both. The low fuel light came on so I believe we had maybe 2 gallons left or a 13 gallon tank.
I work at a Ford dealership and will be talking to my service manager and possibly the service rep on this issue...........0
Have a look at post #262.
Your distance to empty is based on previous 500 miles, not just your current tank. This may help explain the difference.0
Sorry, calculations are not correct. If my Escape had 2 gallons in the tank and we put in 11, that would be a 13 gallon tank, which is what a lot of people are saying.............but it is still not 15!0
Yup, that 15g tank is more like a 13g "useable" tank, there's nothing Ford can do for you. You can never use the entire 15gal, there will always be air in the tank because of the automatic fuel shut off on the gas pump. If you are able to keep getting gas into the tank after the fuel shut off engages you run the risk of ruining the emissions control system. They are just going to tell you everything is normal, and unfortunately in this case, it is.0
I agree that all the little things add up. I will take 50 lbs of "work stuff" out of my vehicle when it's not needed. I don't expect to save a lot of fuel by doing so, I just think it's a waste to move around extra weight for no reason.
My main point above, is that it is stated that a heavier driver will increase fuel consumption by 41% in the city!!!! Where does that data come from?0
stever Posts: 52,462Weight Watchers.0
donl1 Posts: 112I never had a vehicle in 40+ years of ownership where I complained the gas tank was too big. And that includes pickups that had 2 tanks.0
Have spent some time reading these posts and have never seen so many complaints about expected vs true MPG. In CITY driving, that is.
We all agree that there's little or nothing wrong when taking this baby, especially the 2.0 AWD Ecoboost, out of the city. But OMG, if you're a city driver like I am (Washington, DC), even if you are not trying to be the fastest when taking off - I have become extremely careful-, you're in for a surprise: I get 13.5 MPG, run out of gas after 180-200 miles. I might as well get a parking spot where I fill up!
I've driven just about 5500 miles, and am thoroughly disappointed. I truly shouldn't have to scavenger for 100% gas, switch to 91/93, wonder why Ford decided to engage the All Wheel Drive at all take offs from stop, and the many other reasons folks try to explain away the fact that Ford promised good city mileage and can't deliver.
And please, if you are a 60/40 or 70/30 driver, we KNOW by now that you get 22.24 MPG. That's not what everyone is complaining about. So stop telling us why you love Ford so much. So you like their logo? Good for you. But it has nothing to do with the problem.
Anyway, my Ford is at the dealership being tested, but I'm sure it's going to be blamed on the user. That's what they do until the EPA gets on this, and they have to eat crow.
Anyone want to buy an almost new Escape? Got a great deal for ya.0
Glad I didnt buy the 2.0 ! Got 35.2 mpg just yesterday on my 1.6 !!!!0
"...Anyway, my Ford is at the dealership being tested, but I'm sure it's going to be blamed on the user. That's what they do until the EPA gets on this, and they have to eat crow.

If you do unload the '13, look up a 2010-2012 Escape Hybrid. I was very disappointed when they did not continue the hybrid for 2013. It gets absolutely great city mileage for an SUV.
On a side note, I never really understood why they engage the AWD from a cold stop. My 2008 AWD FEH does it as well. Interesting to see they carried on that design "feature".0
Dear Craig, I have a 2.0 Titanium and drive mostly in town. Yes, I do take it out, and then the MPG is fine, not great, but fine. We are not complaining about that.
However, if Ford says that we should get "Up to 22 cty/30 hwy mpg", and we get 13.5 cty, then there's something WRONG with that. I challenge the EPA to actually get 22 cty. Even with 100% gas, which is unavailable in most large cities.
That is what we are talking about. Stay with the point we are trying to make, and don't confuse it with your Ford love affair.0
"... However, if Ford says that we should get "Up to 22 cty/30 hwy mpg", and we get 13.5 cty, then there's something WRONG with that. I challenge the EPA to actually get 22 cty. Even with 100% gas, which is unavailable in most large cities. ..."
He said he is getting 21 in town, and described some of the techniques he uses to achieve that.
The differences in reports by various owners makes me wonder if the gas blend is vastly different in the various places.0
wistrod Posts: 14You state, "We all agree that there's little or nothing wrong when taking this baby, especially the 2.0 AWD Ecoboost, out of the city." Well, I don't agree. Mine now has 4,500 miles on it, and we took a drive this past weekend. We did 260 miles on flat, Illinois interstate. I set the cruise at 65, and we rolled across the flat expanse of Illinois highway. My mpg (based on refueling, not the display) was 22.7 mpg for these 260 miles. Ford's specs indicate that the 2.0 4WD model gets 28 mpg highway. My experience puts me more than 5 mpg under the mark. Not sure how much purer highway driving you could get than a flat 260 mile stretch of highway with a constant speed of 65. Based on the miles I drive per year, and current gasoline prices, this 5 mpg shortfall costs me about $350 per year -- in my eyes, I was flat out lied to and didn't get what I paid for!0
City driving can be vastly different, probably more so than the gas blends. Just for the hell of it I decided to count how many traffic lights I drive through on my 2.5mi drive to work in the city. TWENTY TWO!!! I would say don't use City MPGs to compare, period. Just use the Hwy MPGs, that would be a much better comparison, unless you are driving in the mountains it's pretty much all the same. But someone in the city could have 22 lights to get through in 2.5mi and someone else could have 10 lights in 5 miles, just to difficult to compare.0
I just had my 2.0 4WD in for the miles to empty issue and gas tank size. There is a TSB out on this issue which requires the computer to be totally reset. When I got it back, my miles to empty full went from 280 to 390. Also my display mpg shot up from 22.0 to over 25 after 40 miles city/highway, so I am now doing a manual check of mpg and if it is higher, I would have all you owners go in and have this TSB performed. Will post the mpg after a few more days of driving.............0
OK, I'm not sure why you posted this to me. I don't doubt that some people get good mileage.
For the record, the photo indicated 35.2 MPG, per the dash.0
I got my new Ford Escape 2.0T 4WD 2 weeks back. I drove almost 180 miles on it while getting it. So for the first 240 miles or so, my mpg was being shown around 17.8. Now around 385 miles, it is showing 17.1 mpg. Most of my driving is around city with 4-5 lights in for about every 2 miles. And point to note is that for every 2 miles I drive, my drive to empty drops by 10-12 miles
So definitely bug in the system you are saying? I would assume so since I had to fill up at 290 miles and filled around 12.6 gallons. So per calculation 290/12.6, would be approx 23 mpg.
" There is a TSB out on this issue which requires the computer to be totally reset"
Where can I find more info about this TSB?0
Call your local Ford dealer and say you know of a a TSB on 2013 Escape's with a miles to empty issue, it requires no parts but a tech that can do the TSB and reset the system. My miles to empty is more in line with a 15 gallon tank and my display mpg is over 25 average city/highway. Will report when I complete a manual check of mpg later...........0
Your DTE or Distance To Empty is based on your last 500 miles of driving, so if your vehicle is new, I would not pay much attention to that display. Yes, the displays do show at DTE that is very conservative, but you may find that it improves after you have driven normally for 500 + miles.0
Yes it is and I just did a manual mpg check and overall is up to 24.4 which is the EPA stated rating. I do not know if reprogramming affected the fuel consumption but told my service manager that I will keep track of mpg and if it goes back to 22 or less, he will then start doing tests.0
Thanks guys. Mine is obviously before 12/04/2012. Should I wait till miles reach around 1000 or just go to a local dealer now? I purchased it around 200 miles from my place.0
Thanks for the quick response. In reading the TSB I didn't see any reason to conclude that actual mileage would improve. It looked like a software change only. But I didn't know there was a TSB until I read your post. So I'm interested in your experience. Please keep us informed. BTW I agree with your manual MPG method.0
I don't see any reason for a quick trip to the dealer to correct an accuracy problem with the DTE reading. If pdawg reports back that he believes there really is a performance improvement in MPGs with the change then you might want to check it out. Unless I hear more about MPG improvement because of this TSB (on this website or a couple of others I follow) I'm gonna sit tight.0
We have paid for seeing that information, so we should be seeing correct information. If there is the software bug, in my opinion, we should get that corrected, so we do not keep getting distracted by false information. I think I will planning to take a copy of that TSB (full form?) and visit a dealer. What say?0
Hey you asked for an opinion and I gave you mine. If the DTE indicator inaccuracy bothers you that much go in and get it fixed. IMO it's not that big of a deal.
If I find out the TSB relates to an actual MPG issue then I'll do something about it.0
ronsteve LooavulPosts: 616On the subject of premium fuel...
Now the question is whether you'll take a mpg hit with this engine going for the more power option. They seem to be competing goals.
Actually, if the knock sensor is optimized for premium, you'll get better MPG on premium (unless you're driving hard enough to extract that extra power) as running a richer mixture is part of how they compensate for the lower octane of regular.2015 Acura RDX AWD / 2013 VW Jetta 2.5SE0
Yes, and I appreciate it. Thanks!0
Your welcome.0

Cleveland Kidnapper Ariel Castro: 'I'm Not a Monster'
The man that kidnapped, raped, and held three woman hostage for over ten years is starting to talk and no one seems to like what they are hearing. Ariel Castro is reported to be making statements such as; "I'm not a monster" and that he and the three woman lived in a "happy household."
It is hard to believe that a man who can torture Georgina DeJesus, Amanda Berry, and Michelle Knight for 11 years can believe in any sense that he is not to blame.
Though Castro is looking at serving over 1,000 years in prison, when he makes statements like these it is hard to say that is even enough.
When you hear that the woman were held against their will in tiny rooms in Castro's basement you feel sick to your stomach. It is difficult to hear that the three women were raped repeatedly, one even giving birth to a child while in her captivity. The extent of Castro's actions that led to him being charged with 977 counts will make your heart ache. Some of which were; "aggravated murder on suspicion of ending the pregnancy of one of his captives", rape, and assault.
Castro pleaded guilty to these charges in exchange for the death penalty to be taken off of the table. This man that identified himself as a "sexual predator" is looking forward to a life rotting in prison.
Ariel Castro has keep a strong standing through his sentencing and trial as not being the bad guy, so to speak. "The stresses of kidnapping, torturing and raping was really hard. I have a difficult situation." Can you believe that? It only gets worse. He made excuse after excuse for his behavior. One of which was his alleged addiction to pornography and masturbation. Then, at one point he seemed to be blaming the victims.
Castro tried to paint a picture quite different than what his three victims had. "He went on to say that none of the women was a virgin when he abducted them, that they wanted to have sex with him and there was 'harmony' in the 'happy household.'"
His haunting words will make your teeth clenched, your heart hurt, and churn your stomach.
"I'm not a monster. I'm just sick. I have an addiction, just like an alcoholic has an addiction," he said. "God as my witness, I never beat these women like they're trying to say that I did. I never tortured them."
A man that kidnapped, raped, and held three women hostage for 11 years trying to act as an innocent makes you want to lose faith in humanity. His attempts to convince the world around him that he did no wrong are disturbing to hear. He was caught saying, "I'm not a violent person. I simply kept them there so they couldn't leave."
These things are tough to hear, but we can all feel a bit better that this man will be behind bars soon.

We all know we generate energy with every strike of the foot while running - is it possible to harness that power? A group of students at Rice University in Texas certainly think so, and have created a prototype that can harness enough energy from a heel strike to power a small electronic device. Check out the video below - I get the feeling they are onto something pretty cool, particularly in this era of the quantified self.

The Demonata Book 1: Lord Loss is definitely scarier and more plot driven than Cirque du Freak. I guess this has something to do with The Demonata series aiming for a more mature readership. I couldn't help but compare The Demonata from Cirque du Freak; CDF can be a bit quirky, whereas The Demonata is just terrifying throughout. I think adults can also get a kick out of reading this series as it puts most horror novels to shame. In a way, Lord Loss calls to mind Stephen King's monsters lurking in small towns and Clive Barker's gross-out brand of horror involving demons straight out of hell.
In Lord Loss, we meet Grubbs Grady, a teenager who has witnessed his parents and his older sister killed by the demon Lord Loss and his familiars, Artery and Vein. He finds himself traumatized by the incident and is confined in a mental institution. One day, he gets a visit from his uncle, Dervish, who takes Grubbs to his home and becomes his guardian. Uncle Dervish eventually explains to Grubbs how Lord Loss is forever tied to the Grady family because of the family's curse. Only Lord Loss can reverse the family curse by beating him in a game of 5 simultaneous chess games and then by a duel in the demon world. When one of Grady's apparent cousin shows signs of having this curse, it becomes up to Uncle Dervish and Grubbs to summon Lord Loss and attempt to beat him once again.
The blurb at the front cover says that Lord Loss is guaranteed to gross out anyone. Well, I wasn't, probably because I've been exposed to this genre for the longest time that it would take something really spectacular to gross me out. (I think I've been desensitized.) Still, I think a lot of readers would find Lord Loss spine-chilling and terrifying. It will certainly please fans out there who are dying to get their horror fix.
I'm currently restraining myself from dashing out of the house and getting book 2, The Demon Thief. I just hope I can find a copy, since I haven't seen books 1 to 3 in bookstores for the longest time. (It was very surprising to find a single, slightly yellowing copy of Lord Loss the other day.) I couldn't care less -- as they say, the thrill is in the hunt.
Read this book if:
- You think that demons are real.
- You're big on horror serials.
- You love chess.

Green Knights Tumble in MWC Opener at Beloit
From Sports Information Director, September 11, 2010 | Football
by Dan Lukes, firstname.lastname@example.com, (920) 403-4077
BELOIT - St. Norbert College dropped to 0-2 for the first time since 1997 following a last-second 34-31 Midwest Conference loss to Beloit College at Strong Stadium.
Mat Kahl's 22-yard field goal with 6 seconds remaining was the difference as the Buccaneers (1-1, 1-0 MWC) beat the Green Knights (0-2, 0-1) for the first time since 1998. It was only St. Norbert's third loss in a Midwest Conference opener in 26 years.
St. Norbert rallied from a 24-21 deficit after three quarters when it went on a 13-play, 92-yard drive to take a 28-24 lead on a 7-yard touchdown pass from Rob Berger to Joe Green with 3 minutes 6 seconds left.
Beloit answered on its next series when it completed a 69-yard touchdown pass from Brian Maughn to Odin Grina on a third-and-14 play for a 31-28 lead with 2:07 left.
St. Norbert then advanced to the Beloit 12-yard line but had to settle for a 29-yard field goal from Roger Nault with 53 seconds left for a 31-31 tie. The Buccaneers then marched 65 yards in seven plays to set up the game-winning field goal.
Beloit had leads of 14-0 and 21-7 before St. Norbert cut it to 21-14 on a 36-yard touchdown from Berger to Logan Krueger. Kahl kicked a 37-yard field goal on the last play of the first half to give Beloit a 24-14 lead. The Green Knights pulled to within 24-21 on a 14-yard touchdown pass from Berger to Green with 8:11 left in the third quarter.
Beloit quarterback Brian Maughn, who suffered through a 4-for-23 outing on a raw, windy day at Minahan Stadium in a 44-0 loss last year, found the conditions much to his liking in 2010. Maughn completed 28 of 36 passes for 357 yards with three touchdowns and one interception.
Three Beloit receivers had 100-yard days. Julian Ross had nine catches for 102 yards, Derek Carrier eight for 108 yards and Grina four for 108 yards as Beloit outgained St. Norbert 482-353. Beloit also led in the first-down department 26-23, but had 12 penalties for 115 yards.
John Weninger had 112 yards rushing on 26 carries, and Berger completed 14 of 21 passes for 155 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions to lead St. Norbert.

What The Media Should Know About The NRA, Guns, And Schools
Blog ››› ››› TIMOTHY JOHNSON
The media should cover the National Rifle Association's forthcoming plan to improve school security in the context of the extreme positions that the gun rights organization has taken on firearms in schools since the December 14 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
On April 2, the National Rifle Association will unveil its "National School Shield Program," a package of policy and legislative proposals that reportedly will call for increasing the number of armed guards at schools. The group has vehemently opposed calls to pass stronger gun laws.
While the NRA previously supported a "zero tolerance" policy regarding guns in schools, the gun rights organization has more recently promoted the idea of arming teachers and aired a feature on controversial Sheriff Joe Arpaio's school defense "posse" on its media arm, NRA News.
After Columbine Massacre, The NRA's LaPierre Said "No Guns In America's Schools, Period" With "Rare Exception" Of Trained Security
Two weeks after a mass shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, where two gunmen killed 13 and wounded 21, the NRA held its annual meeting in nearby Denver. On May 1, 1999, NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre delivered a speech endeavoring to "clearly state our positions in a comprehensive way." In his remarks, LaPierre called for a "zero tolerance" policy on guns in schools "with the rare exception of law enforcement officers or trained security personnel":
LAPIERRE: First, we believe in absolutely gun-free, zero-tolerance, totally safe schools. That means no guns in America's schools, period ... with the rare exception of law enforcement officers or trained security personnel.
Armed Guards Are Not A Cure-All To School Violence
In a widely-panned advertisement that politicized the protection received by Obama's daughters, the NRA claimed that Obama stated that he was "skeptical" of armed guards in schools. In fact, Obama said that he was "skeptical that the only answer is putting more guns in schools," a statement borne out by the history of school shootings in the United States.
Research suggests it is unclear whether armed guards in schools actually stop shootings. Notably, the 1999 Columbine High School massacre and 2007 mass shooting at Virginia Tech both occurred at schools with an armed security presence.
An armed police officer present at Columbine attempted to fire on one of the shooters, but was quickly pinned down by the greater firepower of the shooter's assault weapon. At the time of the mass shooting at Virginia Tech, the school had an accredited police force with an emergency response team that was described in a report on the mass shooting as "like a SWAT team."
The National Education Association Opposes NRA Plan To Put Armed Volunteers In Schools
In a January 16 interview with Talking Points Memo, National Education Association Director of Advocacy and Outreach Kim Anderson explained why the NEA favored an Obama administration proposal to increase funding for school resource officers, but opposed the NRA's plan to place armed volunteers in schools.
According to Anderson, "There's a huge distinction between the NRA proposal and what the administration has proposed," noting the difference between a school resource officer and an armed volunteer who may be from outside of the community:
"There's a huge distinction between the NRA proposal and what the administration has proposed," she said. "The NRA proposed arming educators and volunteer security guards and private security personnel. The school resource officer program is an actual program that was funded a number of years ago by Joe Biden's bill to put law enforcement -- actual police offers -- in schools after they've received adequate training."
"So there's a huge distinction between police officers who live in the community, who are from the community, and who are wanted by the community," she said, "as opposed to forcing school districts to accept untrained personnel who really don't understand how to work in a school setting."
"If you look at Sheriff Arpaio in Arizona, he's talking about volunteer posses," she said. "That's a far cry from an officer who is trained and understands not only volatile situations that require significant amounts of training to deal with, but they also become really a part of the school staff. And that is so important in a school building, that every single adult in a school building really becomes part of one team."
"There's an art and a science to being part of a team environment in a school," Anderson said.
The NRA Promoted Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Controversial School Safety "Posse"
On January 29, the NRA's news program Cam & Company aired a preview of a special on school security that featured Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio's volunteer school defense "posse." In the preview, "posse" member Jerry Johnson told NRA News, "We're the eyes and ears of the sheriff's department. We're all volunteers. Some are ex-law enforcement, but me I'm retired. And some of us had no experience at all, but we've been trained."
The segment made no mention of reports that some "posse" members have been found to have been convicted of violent crimes and sex offenses. A March 2012 report from KPHO, the Phoenix-area CBS affiliate, discovered "a number of posse members with arrests for assault, drug possession, domestic violence, sex crimes against children, disorderly conduct, impersonating an officer - and the list goes on." In one incident described by KPHO a "posse" member "threw his girlfriend to the ground and choked her while trying to sexually assault her" and on another occasion a "posse" member held at gunpoint a man who had backed into his car.
"Posse" members have reportedly been trained to respond to school shootings by actor Steven Seagal. A February training exercise that included "posse" members, an individual acting as a gunman, and fake victims played by children from "the sheriff's youth volunteer Explorers academy" resulted in the injury of two people by "fake ammunition rounds."
Arpaio has defended his "posse," telling ABC News, "It doesn't matter whether [the schools] like it or don't. I'm still going to do it. I can't imagine criticizing coming when they're given free protection."
The NRA's Media Arm Promotes Teachers Who "Exercise Their Second Amendment Rights" By Carrying A Gun In The Classroom
On March 8, NRA News released its full report on armed security in schools. In addition to rehashing footage from Arpaio's school defense "posse," investigative reporter Ginny Simone interviewed "teachers and school administrators who have chosen to exercise their second Amendment rights inside the classroom for the safety of their students."
The video report opens with a juxtaposition of images from the Newtown massacre and individuals identified as school administrators or teachers advocating for the carrying of firearms in the classroom.
The teachers and administrators also attack President Obama's gun violence prevention proposal, which involves expanding background checks on gun sales, banning assault weapons, increasing funding for school security and improving access to mental health services.
According to middle school principle Jane Berntson, Obama's proposal would include "taking away our Second Amendment rights, taking away our legal rights, and brushing our Constitution under a rug." This baseless claim is followed by the statement of Harrold Independent School District Superintendent David Thweatt who says that Obama's use of executive action on some gun violence prevention proposals is "the kind of stuff I think a Third World-type dictator would do."
The report also draws a connection between the NRA's rhetoric and the idea of arming educators, with one teacher stating, "I think that when the NRA said that 'the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun' was right on the money." Another teacher says, "I am absolutely capable of learning how to safely use a firearm around students."
While public support exists for trained security personnel in schools, a majority of Americans oppose arming teachers.
Senate Gun Control Package Already Includes Increased Funding For School Safety Initiatives
A gun violence prevention package introduced into the Senate incorporates a legislative proposal to improve school safety. The School and Campus Safety Enhancements Act of 2013 would increase funding for the Community Oriented Polcing Services program and require the Secretary of Education to convene a taskforce to improve "school safety guidelines."
For its part, the Obama administration has called for $150 million in funding so that schools can hire up to 1,000 "specially trained police officers that work in schools," school psychologists, social workers and counselors.

Underdog and the anti-establishment candidate
June 14, 2006
In the Republican primary race for Vermont's lone U.S. Congressional seat, state Sen. Mark Shepard, R-Bennington, is happy to be tilting against windmills as the underdog candidate and the anti-establishment candidate.
"Being the non-establishment candidate is not a bad place to be," Shepard said in a Monday interview with the Addison Independent. "Establishment candidates don't stir the pot and they don't ruffle feathers. I'm not doing this to be part of a club."
That style of populist bravado potentially has appeal in a region enamored with the independent ethos that has long characterized the Green Mountain State. And Shepard's background fits his rhetoric. He's a fifth or sixth generation Vermonter, born and raised on a small dairy farm, learned his hard-work ethic from his growing up a farmer's son, and his moral values were home grown as well. He graduated from Hartford High School in 1978 with little interest in a college education, but having learned how to wire a house with his dad at a young age, he had an affinity for electrical sciences and got his journeyman electrician's license in 1982. He stumbled into higher electronics, then took an interest in computers and ended up graduating from the University of Florida in 1986 with a electrical engineering degree and received a Master of Engineering degree following work at MIT and RPI.
In short, Shepard has a populist pedigree, but has leveraged his natural talent and home education into a lucrative electrical engineering business, which he formed several years ago and runs as an independent business. He's married with four kids.
All this makes Shepard's story far more interesting than most Vermonters would know at this early stage in the campaign, but will soon begin to discover as Shepard makes the rounds and Vermont's press corps starts to cover Shepard's race against Martha Rainville in the Republican primary.
While Shepard's story is compelling, his politics are less easy to grasp. He's an ardent opponent of big government and believes the marketplace is the best driver of societal goals. He was one of two state senators to vote against the Catamount Health care plan recently passed by the legislature and signed by Gov. Jim Douglas, saying that the marketplace would be a better engine of change if only there were more competition in the state for health insurance. He would promote such competition by allowing consumers to buy insurance across state lines and by promoting health savings accounts. That there is no cooperative agreement among states to allow that to happen doesn't faze Shepard. Making the marketplace work for health care is a goal he would work toward, whether realistic or not.
On taxation, Shepard splits the Republican causes. He supports Bush tax cuts and wouldn't reverse them, but doesn't think more tax cuts that would create larger deficits is a good idea. He said spending needs to be trimmed, but wouldn't say which programs would be cut.
He also is compelled by the implementation of a national consumption (sales) tax in lieu of the federal income tax. Think of the savings in just doing away with the IRS, he muses, and of all the money saved by not having to hire tax accountants.
In his market-driven utopia, Shepard also suggests that rather than toss away billions of dollars in waste, fraud and lucrative contracts to political friends in the construction business — as has been done in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina — that a better approach would be to create tax-free building zones in New Orleans and let the marketplace rebuild itself. Such thinking definitely has holes big enough to drive a Mack truck through, but then again what President Bush, Congress and Louisiana politicians have concocted hasn't been very successful either.
Shepard's fresh approach to the issues makes his campaign interesting, at the very least. Whether he stands a chance against the well-financed campaign of Rainville, the GOP's anointed darling, is yet to be seen. But we suspect Shepard will find a few converts along the way with his brand of common-sense populism and a style that is unafraid to stir the pot and rankle some feathers. Add his honest approach to politics, and an old-style campaign that is refreshing and endearing, and you have the makings of a bona fide candidate. Whatever you've heard about Shepard's candidacy on the periphery of political news, his characterization as a candidate not of the middle has been greatly exaggerated. He has a few issues on which he's rowing his own boat, but on many others he's a mainstreamer trying to bring some sense to entrenched party policies and politics that cause problems with no hope for answers.
He may still be tilting at windmills, but it's a better story than the plot might first suggest.
Angelo S. Lynn
"... many politicians talk the talk about doing something tangible about new jobs and it doesn't go much further. Sen. Shepard walked the walk."
"Sen. Shepard's big accomplishment, and it is a significant one, lies in the major role he played in bringing the Bennington Microtech Center into being."

T-Mobile extends 'Un-carrier' plans to tablets
Wireless carrier T-Mobile has added tablets to its "Un-carrier" initiative that aims to drop monthly contracts in favor of plans allowing users to pay for the full price of the device in monthly installments.
Tablets running through T-Mobile's 4G LTE network will receive a free 200 MB of data every month for the life of the device. Consumers seeking more data upgrade for a monthly fee.
"Carriers figured out a long time ago that they could make money - a lot of money - by forcing customers into restrictive, overpriced data plans," says T-Mobile CEO John Legere in a statement. "We changed it for smartphones and we're changing it for tablets."
The company will also start offering tablets at full price, payable in monthly installments. For example, the Google Nexus 7 will be available starting November 20 for $16 a month over 24 months, while Samsung's Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 will go for $19 in installments.
T-Mobile will also carry the iPad Air, announced during an event hosted by Apple on Tuesday. Consumers can snag a 16 GB version with no money down for $26.25 in 24 monthly installments. Tablets with larger storage will require down payments starting at $99.99.
The tablet plans are the company's latest effort to shake up a wireless industry that offers subsidized devices requiring two-year contracts. Over the past year, T-Mobile has introduced plans where users can purchase an unsubsidized smartphone and pay the full price over monthly installments.
The company has also unveiled early upgrade plans, a more expensive option to secure a new device as soon as six months after the consumer's initial purchase.

Arsenal endured a bitter-sweet experience in the Champions League on Wednesday, pluckily beating Bayern Munich in the second leg of their last-16 tie but losing it overall on the away-goals rule. Their powers of recovery, mental as well as physical, were tested to the limit back in the Premier League and they emerged narrowly unscathed.
Defeat against Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium had become unthinkable. A draw would have been none too healthy either. If Arsenal wish to compete for a 16th successive season in the Champions League, three points was imperative from the visit to South Wales.
As it is, all that victory maintained was the status quo. Should Chelsea overcome West Ham United at Stamford Bridgetomorrow, they will swiftly re-establish their five-point lead over Arsenal in fourth place and it will be back – after temporarily reducing the gap to two points – to square one for Arsène Wenger.
Still, a win was as much as the Arsenal manager could hope for and he got it through late goals from Nacho Monreal and Gervinho. "Our attitude was outstanding, even when our legs were a little less fresh," Wenger said. "We kept going until the very end. It is difficult to win away in the Premier League three days after playing in the Champions League. I congratulate my players.
"How important was it? We'll know at the end of the season. But it [the three points] was absolutely wanted. We couldn't afford to drop any points today. Maybe the win in Munich transformed a little bit of belief in the team. It was probably down to the first team to score today and we did that."
Wenger is nothing if not stubborn and here he reaffirmed his decision to drop the captain, Thomas Vermaelen, and goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny for the ultimately fruitless trip to Munich despite the gutsy 2-0 triumph. Szczesny did not even travel to Germany, with Wenger citing his "mental tiredness," while Vermaelen was a non-playing substitute. Neither player started at the Liberty, though Szczesny at least warmed the bench this time alongside Vermaelen. Mikel Arteta again took over the captaincy.
Swansea have already booked their continental ticket for next season, courtesy of the 5-0 drubbing of Bradford City in the Capital One Cup final that secured their berth in the Europa League. The sweet-flowing football that they exhibited at Wembley was quickly on show here but it was Arsenal who carved out the first opportunity.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain cut in from the left and cruelly exposed Angel Rangel's lack of positioning and pace. He also spotted that the Swansea goalkeeper Michel Vorm was fractionally off his line and curled over a delightful effort that clipped the top of the crossbar. If that was perhaps a touch of good fortune for the home side, they responded, as always, with a fluidity and belief that has become their trademark.
Michu should have done better, when released by a perfect pass from Ki Sung-yueng, but he scuffed his shot as Laurent Koscielny challenged at the last moment. As Arsenal attempted similar pass-and-go tactics, which the greasy surface enhanced rather than hindered, Swansea were forced to backtrack on numerous occasions.Michu had another opportunity to open the scoring, after a scramble in the Arsenal area, but drove wide, with Lukasz Fabianski, Szczesny's stand-in, unprotected. With both defences appearing solid, long-distance pot-shots were the best option. Otherwise there seemed to be no way through. Oxlade-Chamberlain produced a 30-yard effort that Vorm got nowhere near but it skimmed off the bar and behind to safety.
Swansea were sluggish. "There was nothing wrong with our attitude," their manager, Michael Laudrup, said. "I thought it was going to finish 0-0 and in games like that the first goal can decide it. That's what happened. It was a strange goal but they all count."
Count it did, the half-hit effort from Monreal – a £9m signing from Málaga on transfer deadline day in January – drifting past the possibly unsighted Vorm. It was his first goal for the club. The substitute Gervinho added the second in stoppage time, guiding home from close range. Between them they kept Arsenal's season alive.

To those not directly interested in the everlasting pursuit of a better home theatre set up, the term, "sound bar" may sound like some new candy for synesthetes. This is not the case. It is simply new candy for budding, budgeting audiophiles.
Housed within a single cabinet is a surround system that has carried the ZVOX name like some shoulder pads. Holding everything; speakers, dual powered subs, amp, and virtual surround circuitry, in a well-crafted MDF wood cabinet. The hand lacquered high gloss black end panels are eye-catching but in that subtle manner most folks call classy.
Moving on from the NASA-esque technology necessary to cram such hardware into the IncrediBase 575, one has to wonder, "What's it sound like?" The unit has the surprisingly startling ability to spread sound across the room. The only analogy that comes to mind is something like Parkay's "You can't believe it's not butter." Through some sorcery, the IncrediBase 575 has manipulated trained ears into perceiving sounds from behind when the 3 ft base is clearly in front of me. Even from side angles the sound is still maintained and truly mirrors the 5.1 surround sound experience, a feat not easily accomplished.
The ZVOX IncrediBase 575 has virtually no competition within the sound bar market, except little brother IncrediBase 550. ZVOX has managed to contain some impressive sound within a 3ft bar, crafting the home theater equivalent of a Jack in the Box. This surprise, however, is much more pleasant.

U.N. action on Kosovo called off because of Moscow
By Evelyn Leopold
Fri Jul 20, 12:43 PM ET
The United States and Europeans discarded on Friday their U.N. Security Council resolution on Kosovo's future status because of Russian opposition.
Moscow fears the complicated European-American sponsored draft resolution would lead to independence for the breakaway province from Serbia. Belgrade opposes this.
Instead, the Western nations would try to initiate negotiations between the leaders of Serbia and Kosovo through the Contact Group of advisors on the Balkans, composed of Britain, France, Italy, Germany, the United States and Russia. But no country has veto rights.
"We regret ... that it has been impossible to secure such a resolution in the United Nations Security Council," said France's U.N. Ambassador Jean-Marc de la Sabliere on behalf of the resolution's sponsors, the United States, Britain, Belgium, Italy and Germany.
"We will therefore put on hold discussions on the resolution," he said after council consultations.
Valete!Actio N.V. in quaestionem Kosovi a Mosqua interrumpta
Ex Evelina Leopoldo
Die Veneris XX, hora sexta
Civitates Foederatae et Europa Veneris die repellerunt consilium Concilii Securitatis N.V. stato de futuro Kosovi quod Russia opponitur.
Mosqua veritur ne consilium compositum ab Europeis Americanisque provinciam Serbiam ad independentiam adducat. Belgradus opponitur.
In loco eius, nationes occidentales negotiarentur inter primores Serbiae et Kosovi per consiliarios de balcanicis rebus, compositum a Britannia et Gallia, Italia et Germania, Civitates Foederatae et Russia. Nulla autem natio ius vetandum habet.
«Lamentamur... impossibile fuit confirmare consilium tale in Concilium N.V.,» inquit legatus Galliae Jean-Marcus de la Sabliere pro defensoribus consilii, scilicet, Civitatibus Foederatis, Brittania, Belgica, Italia et Germania.
«Inde disputationes de consilio posituri in suspensum,» ait post consultationes.

"Unbelievable that a year has gone by"
"Wow a year already? Just feels like yesterday"
"A whole year and you two are still so much in love"
I heard these statements, and the like, rephrased in many different ways over and over by loved ones for the last week. I just have to smile because I can believe it has been a year, a wonderful year of being married to my best friend…my soul mate…the first of many years ahead.
Our wedding was small and intimate, as intimate as 80 people can be, we focused on sharing our joy and happiness with the people closest and dearest to us. With one of the best wedding teams in the country, St Francis Links Golf Estate exceeding all our expectations.
But you all know the story of our wedding…now for the story of our first anniversary.
Monday past, being our first wedding anniversary, represented by paper, I had in my mind that I should expect a gift voucher of sorts – maybe to the day spa or the bookstore…but I am blessed with a very romantic husband.
Sunday afternoon, Justin arrived home from work with 3 envelopes. I at first took no notice of them as I was very concerned he had forgotten to pick up the odds and ends that were essential to my dinner preparation. Picking the envelopes up to move out of my way while I frantically dug in the shopping bag, I noticed the one said "1st Anniversary" which obviously grabbed my short attention span away from the shopping packet.
There in my hand were 3 envelopes marked "1st Anniversary". The first one, Part 1 was to be opened on Sunday. Anyone who knows me, knows I love surprises, and even more so, I love the game that goes with a surprise. Part one was bullet point instructions to pack essentials. This got me even giddier as not only was it a surprise but it was a going away surprise. I was in my eliminate right there!
Part 2 of my envelopes were only to be opened when Justin told me to do so. I was dying inside as I needed to know what the next part of the surprise was. But I had to wait…I didn't do so very patiently, asking every 5kms if I could open the envelope. Eventually the go ahead was give, Part Two was instructions to please help the driver with directions, a map was fastened to the letter.
Arriving at our destination I was overcome with such love for this man. He knows the internal workings of my mind so well, he understands how I love being isolated and in a natural environment, yet don't do the camping / hiking or any general outdoors type activities. He knows just the right spots. Our anniversary destination was Misty Mountain Lodge in Tsitsikamma, situated between Plettenberg Bay and Jefferys Bay. The resort is based on a cliff and overlooks the ocean with the most picture perfect scenes.
The afternoon of just being together – laughing and sharing, the joys of no phones…being surrounded by peace and calmness and simply enjoying each other's company was the perfect way to spend our anniversary. We explored what the venue had to offer, followed by a relaxing bubble bath, building up to the delicious dinner shared over drinks and much happiness. The staff of Misty Mountains was amazing, very welcoming and so efficient.
Part 3 was only allowed to be opened on Monday morning, the day of our anniversary. Justin wrote me a love letter, filling my hearth with warmth and my eyes with tears. I am so fortunate to have the unconditional love from this man. Every day that goes by, I count my blessing. Along with my love letter was an "IOU" for the next time we are in Port Elizabeth to go pick out jewellery…a romantic weekend away with my amazing husband and jewellery…sorry ladies, he is all mine! Can a girl get any luckier?

IGA - Aide Gourmet - EN from SHED on Vimeo.
This was a great opportunity to revisit our favorite section of the IGA store (Fruits & Vegetables). We went back to the previous campaign and retrieve all our asset. The biggest part of the job was to re-update all the shaders since the assets were getting old and dusty!
|We created this section so camera could basically film in any direction without having to rethink the assets. That way, we could reuse the same layout in the two IGA commercials.
The library section was definitely more tricky. In the end, with all the bookshelves, it contained more than 30 000 objects. We proceeded to split it in different floors so we could easily manage each "character setup" of the sequence. As for the books, we used an ICE setup to populate the bookshelves.
When the layout was done, it was exported as an Arnold standin (.ASS) so the render scene wouldn't get heavy. That way, our lighting artist could position the lights based on a lowres mesh of the scene, and the the high res object would be processed only at rendering.
You can see here the result of some of our dailies internal comments after a basic lighting setup was built to put the modelling in context.
As usual, here are all our animation step:
IGA Aide Gourmet :: Animation from SHED on Vimeo.
Our lighting pipeline goes like this. Instead of beginning by lighting characters, we first light the environment, and go through all the pipeline with it (lighting, render, comp). There is several good reason for this. To name a few: our environment renders are way longer to render than our characters so it's good to start them as early as possible in the production and once we know the look of the background we can more easily light the characters.
Here's a small breakdown of the first shot of the commercial:

'Ridiculously Good Looking Baby' Inspires After Open Heart Surgery
Having heart surgery at any age is a really big deal. It can leave a really ugly scar that you just want to hide. Well one little guy is showing off his scar proudly and has earned over a million fans on Facebook. His name is Joey, otherwise known as "ridiculously good looking baby".
Joey Powling Jr. was born in July with a heart defect known as tetralogy of Fallot. This defect is common in children and means he was born with a hole in his heart. On October 25, at a mere three months old, Joey had his first open heart surgery. Five days later they revealed the scar in its entirety and his mom wanted to take a picture.
John is looking at the camera with an amused smile as if he is saying "Pft, what scar?". The baby's uncle saw the picture and knew it needed to be shared with the world. He posted the photo on Reddit with the caption " My 3 month-old nephew just had open heart surgery. Chicks dig scars, right?"
Don't we all wish we could look like that? This picture is more than just that of a cute baby. It shows hope and strength. It kind of puts things in perspective. To the family, it is much more than a photo. They are using their unfortunate situation to bring an awareness to an unfortunate disease - tetraology of Fallot. While the Powling family may be amused by the fame of the photo, they still have a long road ahead of them before young Joey is healed.

A transcription of the first meeting with the media for first-year wide receiver's coach Sanjay Lal:
Q: How are the young WRs coming along?
Lal: Very good, extremely hard working core. They want to be great. They're hungry, they're young. A coach couldn't ask for more.
Q: How about the rookies?
Lal: Every one has done what's been asked of them and more.
Q: Darrius Heyward-Bey had a rough start, but seemed to turn it around, what went in to that?
Lal: All summer he's been working on a key set of techniques in terms of his catching, concentration, routes and it's just a matter of time. It needs to come together for him. We just need to get him reps. More reps, more reps, more reps and that's where it'll take him to where he needs to go.
Q: No experience outside Javon Walker, but do you like having a clean slate to work with?
Lal: I've always had a vision of how I would want the receiver corp to be and with a clean slate like you said, you can implement everything from Ground 1 how it should be done. And speaking of Javon, he has echoed every one so it's been great to have a clean slate with a veteran who wants them to be great also.
Q: How does it help to get Javon added to group?
Lal: It gives us the bell cow that we haven't earned yet. If he comes in and plays like the Javon we know we can be, then they'll have a leader who can apply what we're teaching and make it real for them.
Q: Last year's stats were NFL worst, but with strong finishes by Schilens and Higgins, did you have a good feeling about what you had coming back?
Lal: Yes and I wouldn't correlate it to the stats. Those guys are getting better every day. The run game took off at the end, the defense played better, JaMarcus played well so it's a combination. It was everything starting to jive and that's what we feel will happen this year.
Q: You got to learn under James Lofton, how much did that help you?
Lal: What he did was he gave me confidence to stand up for what I believe as a coach. He and I really thought alike on a lot of subjects. It was nice for me to see, here is how I would handle it, how is James will handle it. And it reinforced a lot of my beliefs. Stand tough, don't back down. You're teaching them the right things. They will respond, maybe not at first. But if they trust you and you can show them one technique or one move than can help them, then they will listen to you.
Q: Guys said in OTAs that you used round table for meetings instead of rows, is that still in place?
Lal: We can't do it at training camp but we replaced our classroom style for a conference table. Because we are all in it together. We're going to make each other better. I'm the facilitator. We all watch film together. I ask Johnnie Lee what Chaz did wrong or what he could do better on a route. I'll ask Chaz himself. We all talk about each play together.
Q: Is that something you had done somewhere else?
Lal: Like I said, I always had a vision of how I wanted it to be and how I was not coached and how I wanted to be coached. I took it from my book of do's and don'ts.
Q: What led you into coaching?
Lal: It really stemmed from … I always thought I wanted to be a coach at some point and I really tried and tried and tried and probably over-tried to make it into the NFL and I didn't. When I didn't make it into the NFL, I coached high school football. At first I thought it was just high school football. But then I got into it. There was one player, a receiver, and I taught him a move and he used the move and scored and came back and hugged me on the sideline and said, 'Coach, I wouldn't have scored if it wasn't for you.' And right then I was hooked.
Q: Was that at Miramonte?
Lal: Yes.
Q: Was it Drew Bennett?
Lal: It wasn't Bennett. Bennett was the quarterback. None of the big time guys. Phil Wagner actually. It was Phil Wagner and I was hooked because I could live my dreams through them.
Q: Does it put pressure on you because they used first round pick on receiver?
Lal: Not for me personally. I just take it as I'm privileged to have this job. I told Coach Cable and Coach Davis that 'You've given me my dream job and I will coach every day with that attitude.' It's like a gift to me to have these young guys to mold.
Q: How cool to have a job in NFL and for it to be with Raiders with you having some Bay Area roots?
Lal: To be with the Raiders is a dream. It's one of 32 jobs but it's with the Raiders. So you have your dreams and this comes true and you look back and say how did I get here. If I could have written it, I wouldn't have been able to write it or believe it. But it happened and I'm not going to let go of it.
You'll notice Lal referred to "coach Cable and coach Davis." Calling the owner "coach Davis" gives Lal something in common with Bill Belichick.
As he began his interview, Cable walked past and said, "That's a fine," with Lal joking that perhaps he should have waited until the coach had cleared the area. Lal was approached a few days back when Cable gave the green light for talking to assistants, only to have the P.R staff insist on 24 hours notice. John Marshall and Ted Tollner talked in the meantime.
Lal needn't worry about a fine. He said all the right things, paid respect to all things Raiders and has held steadfast to what is so far company policy to not single out or criticize one receiver as opposed to another.
Burgess talks to New England media
Derrick Burgess spoke to the New England media for the first time since being traded from the Raiders, and not surprisingly revealed little or nothing about the process.
He did have one good line when asked by a reporter if he could play standing up, a reference from moving to outside linebacker after being a defensive end.
"I'm standing up right now," Burgess said.
Burgess didn't criticize his former team, just as they didn't criticize him, and said there has been no agreement to extend his contract.

The California High-Speed Rail Authority said Thursday that it was adding 12 months to the construction schedule for 130 miles of track in the Central Valley, easing what some outside experts have contended was an overly aggressive and risky timeline.
Jeff Morales, chief executive of the authority, said the revised schedule would have the track completed by December 2017 rather than a year earlier as set under the agency's contracting documents. The new timetable will allow contractors to use less overtime and other practices that were expected under the accelerated plan in place earlier, Morales said.
"We are going to get lower bids, save some money and still meet all of our deadlines," he said. "It is a good business move."

$20 Million US Grant for Nevada Solar Power Work
RENO, Nev. (AP) -- The National Science Foundation has awarded a $20 million grant to Nevada's higher education system to help find ways to make large-scale solar power plants more practical and efficient on arid desert lands.
Sen. Harry Reid announced the grant Monday for the project called, "The Solar Energy-Water-Environment Nexus in Nevada."
The collaborative effort includes the University of Nevada, Reno, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and the Desert Research Institute. The grant is expected to employ at least 100 technicians, students and faculty for five years.
It is part of an experimental program aimed at stimulating competitive research to make solar panels more efficient while minimizing use of water as well as environmental impacts.
Reid says the research will secure Nevada's position as the nation's undisputed leader in clean energy.
