NOTE: This sewing pattern is intended for personal use only. A handmade sellers license for Pierrot is also available from the pattern page. For more information on the licenses and seller's program, please visit the Seller's Program page. If you purchase the sewing pattern without a license, please do not sell Pierrot Tunics or use the pattern for profit. Non-profit use for charity is usually fine, but please contact me first to request permission.
This tunic is a "confident beginner" project. I would recommend this project to someone who knows how to sew a straight line backward and forward and can keep an even seam allowance on a curve. The following skills are also recommended: gathering, inserting elastic into a waistband, and hemming. Clear instructions are given for all of the steps, however, so a beginner who has confidence could definitely tackle this. I am always happy to assist you by answering questions via email if you should run across anything that is giving you trouble!
Pierrot can be completed entirely without a serger. The ruffle edge at the neckline can be zigzag stitched (shown below left) or finished with a serger (shown below right); both take approximately the same time.
• Woven fabric such as shirting, cotton voile, cotton lawn, poplin, chambray, lightweight seersucker, baby wale cord, linen, flannel, or quilting cotton (see yardage chart below for amount)
• Elastic (1/4″ or 3/8″ wide, for neckline)
• Optional: prepackaged 1/2″ single-fold bias tape (or instructions for cutting your own bias tape included in pattern)
(of 44" wide fabric; you'll need less if your fabric is 54" or 60" wide)
Click here for size chart
What's the difference between bias and straight of grain?
Cutting this tunic on the bias will give you a more "swingy" fit, but it can also be cut on the straight of grain to save fabric (I personally think it looks great either way). In the picture below, the tunic on the left was cut on the bias, and the tunic on the right was cut on the straight of grain.

Been excitedly waiting for this!!! Cannot wait to try it out
Amy F says:
I'm glad I'm not the only daughter-less reader who bought it anyway I've got a niece — she must need one.
lak says:
How long do you suspect it might take a "confident beginner" (who still does silly things like cut the fabric on the wrong side or continue to stitch a long seam even after the bobbin thread has run out) to make this dress?
Rae says:
Hi Lak:
Haha, you're too funny. So the nice thing about this pattern is that all the pieces are symmetric (so no problems cutting on the wrong side like you might have with a pant)…the stitching with no thread thing might be a bit of an issue, but I'd give yourself 4-5 hours and you'll have a top.
Candace says:
LOVE this top! I made my first this weekend. Only about the third thing I've ever sewn– your instructions were great for a beginner!
Here is my top: http://candacefeazell.blogspot.com/2011/10/lsu-pierrot-top.html
Thanks for the pattern!
Andrea says:
Yay! I just bought this. I first found your blog when my daughter was a newborn. Now, nineteen months later, I'm set to make her a pierrot
Dorothee says:
Hello, I have "pinned" the Pierrot dress on Pinterest several months ago and and it was love at first sight ! So I was checking back from time to time expecting the pattern and there it is ! (Should have checked earlier, it's been a month !) I am very happy and just wanted to say so before I jump to the purchasing page ! Thanks ! (Dorothee from France)
Rae says:
Oh yay! Thanks Dorothee!!!
Max says:
Rae! Rae! I made one!
It's soooo cute, I just love it! I'll link you to it later, I cut up a shirt from the op shop and it came out perfffect {even though I had to cut the scraps up to make the bias and that was a bit time-consuming and less than perfect} it all came together well in the end!
Even hubby LOVES it.
Thank you Rae
Rae says:
Pepella says:
I made this for my 6 years old, it was 5T but fits her great! I just added 1" on the bottom. But funny thing was, that at the fabric store I couldn't remember how much fabric I needed to cut it on the bias, so I thought 1,5 yrds should be enough… and came home to realize I needed 2,5! My fabric was 46" wide. But I WAS ABLE TO cut it on the bias in size 5T!! Neckline strip had to be in two parts but it was no problem! I was sooo happy! And so is my daughter Hopefully this helps somebody!
Rae says:
oh good to know Pepella! I tried to make the yardage generous enough to work with all types of prints, but I'm glad to know you could figure it out with 1.5 yards!!
Debb says:
thanks , i have more hope now that my fab w/out pattern on it will work in terms of enough yardage.
Rae:: I want to do this is in a single knit, slightly heavier weight. It is cream w/ tiny gold dots. It is my grandaughters fave fabric in her mothers fabric store. What do you think about the neckline with this fab? Should I consider using ribbon for it instead? Thank you so much, and anyone who has insight , I welcome your reply, Debb~~
Debb says:
Thanks so much for taking time to share. I bought my fab first, and dont think i have the required amount. Am prepared to make the back a solid color instead, but perhaps i'll have enough after all. thanks.!! take care~~

USSDA Teams Get Results Against FC Dallas
This past weekend, the Texas Rush USSDA teams hosted FC Dallas at Bear Branch Sportsfields. Knowing that this game was a chance to earn three very important points, both teams showed up ready to play from the first whistle.
The U18's opened the game with various opportunities in the first few minutes, but it wasn't until the tenth minute when Diego Galdamez recovered the ball from a blocked corner kick and played it down the left to Kevin Barahona who proceeded to cross it in for Javi Vazquez to put it in the back of the net.
Shortly after the first goal, Rush was on the attack again with a shot by Bubacarr Jobe, which was deflected by the FC Dallas goalie, but Carlos Mendoza got on the end of the loose ball and scored for the 2-0.
Just before the end of the first half, Carlos Mendoza and Bubacarr Jobe found each other again, this time the roles were switched and Carlos set up Bubacarr for a header in the 43rd minute, which gave the home team a 3-0 lead.
Both teams came off the bench very strongly after half-time, but it was the Rush who was able to find the back of the net after only two minutes. This would be Bubacarr's second goal of the game as a ball was played in by Javi Vazquez for a left-footed finish giving the Rush the final 4-0 win and the three points.
The team stayed connected throughout the game and it was with a solid performance from the defense and great saves by Miguel Alvarez that they pulled away with a shutout.
The U16's followed with a strong performance, creating many opportunities. They dominated the game and had various combinations that allowed them to play around their opponent. The team finished off with a 0-0 tie, giving them one point to move them up in the standings.
Both teams will travel to Dallas for their next match to face-off against Andromeda on Sunday, May 6th.

Bills defensive end Aaron Schobel said Tuesday evening he's still not sure if he wants to play this season, but he's thinking harder about coming back to the Bills as the opening of training camp nears.
"I'm leaning more toward playing than I was a month ago," Schobel told The News by phone from his home in Texas. (Channel 7 talked to Schobel earlier Tuesday.) "I don't know what the Bills would do or how much time they would give me (to make a decision) but I'm thinking about it."
On June 10, Schobel said he was probably done, saying, "At this point, I don't think that I'm going to play." But the nine-year veteran and two-time Pro Bowler also refused to close the door on returning at that time. He's still not sure what he plans to do.
"I'm going to try to make a decision in the next 10 days," Schobel said Tuesday evening. "But that doesn't mean I'm going to report in 10 days." Schobel said he has been staying in good enough shape to give himself the chance to come back for a 10th season should he try to do so. "I've been working out some so that I can make a realistic decision," he said.

At A Glance: A vintage fixture with modern convenience ... sound contradictory? Bringing the best of both eras to this simple reading light, Gus Modern designed the Swing Arm Lamp with a reminiscent filament bulb, wall-mounted hinge, and easy-to-operate foot switch.
What's To Like:
What's Not to Like: Don't love industrial design? Consider another lamp. Love it? Then what are you waiting for?
The Bottom Line: The Swing Arm Lamp from Gus Modern represents the best of industrial design, and packs modern convenience along with vintage looks.
Care and Maintenance: Your lamp ships with a vintage-inspired lightbulb. For safety, please ensure that the bulb remains 12†from walls, plants, furniture, and window coverings. The stainless steel arm and mounting bracket can be cleaned with a soft cloth and stainless cleaner, wiping back-and-forth with the "grain†of the steel.
Light bulb Included:Yes! One filament bulb included

I would also suggest keeping a pain journal, at least until you have good relief. Write in what time and the dose of any meds that you take. Score your pain on a 0-10 scale a couple of hours after taking pain meds, and at least three times a day. Write in other things that you do for pain, like ice packs, hot soaks, exercise, stretching, etc. That way she will know you are trying other things too.
Take care, Annette
i know what you mean i've been pushed off to a few different doctors in the last few months none will presribe me anything more than lorcet 10/650 it barley effects me im not tolerant and its not my weight i don't wight much it just does work for my pain this time when i told my doctor its not working i was told ( i don't know what to tell you my hands are tied ) yay don't give up though
I'm sorry to read that you're not doing any better than when you last wrote.
When do you see the rhuemotologist?
Have you given any thought to asking your PC doc to refer you to a pain management doctor?
Just an idea, but perhaps you can print out this entire conversation and ask her to read ir.
Ask her why her, "hands are tied, " and if this still is so, if she will refer you to an MD whose hands are not tied.
How are you today?
what does, "witch ever sp first comes out of her mouth" (sic) mean?
Your initial posting says a lot that your MD needs to know about your situation: that you find her unapproachable.
That sounds like a great idea. I would urge you to get your family involved, especially since you have a family member who required specialist care.
Where do you live?
Let me know if you'd like my email address so we can talk more about things that may not be posted publicly. I'd like to address some further family information that I do not want to disclose here regarding Jordan, my step-son who died in Sept.
If you'd rather not, that's okay. After all, I am fifty-two years old, but I am an RN and have four children of my own plus Jordan, my fiance's son who died two months ago- lots of experience helping my children with things like this. I just don't want to "go there" publicly, ok.
I am hopeful that you're going to get the help you deserve- just hang in there, cjh, okay.

Books on pain, pain logging etc are also invaluable. You need to be in the driver's seat. As I said I have 12 fused vertabrae and a crushed spine (but no nerve damage) and I work full time and am a father and husband. Every minute of every hour of every day is frought with pain, but with moderate usage of pain meds (hydrocodone and methadone) I live a successful life.
Pain sucks and if you have chronic pain it likely won't go away so you need to teach yourself about how your body works and what pain is. I recommend readin a book called Pain, The Science of Suffering by Dr. Patrick Wall.
Good luck
My "illness, disorder, condition, whatever" will never get better, it is never going to reverse the ongoing damage, it will never be cured by surgery, in fact sugery is needed to fix the limbs supporting the primary problem. I cannot function as a person, a woman, a mom a friend, you get the idea right?
But with the proper balance of pain medications and other types of therapy, I can function, I can do simple things like cook and clean and go to the store, be really involved with people I love and like because I don"t have a heavy load of pain on my shoulders.
Twenty years ago Dr.'s knew this. They knew and understood that pain meds are a reality and life supporting therapy that otherwise makes people useless.
Today because the "'''''War on Drugs"""" is being lost, the goverment is involved in our Medical care folks! A clerk is deciding what you need and EVERYONE is a drug seeking criminal that does not need medicine at all, but is a addict.
Truth is there will always be people who abuse anything---drugs legal or not, work, sex, vioence, shopping, eating, anything to excess! But not the legitimate medical patient who is in need of medicine to help manage a physical medical illness and should be treated as such.
What does the oath say "I will do no harm" well, I for one am being harmed, am unable to live my life the best and fullest way I can within the limits of my physical problems with the proper medication I can do a hell of alot more than without!
Yes I have quit talking medicine for pain for months at a time, done all the other therapies, had a knee replaced, taken the shots and clean out sugeries and so on and none of that worked. Everyone agrees on my medical condition, knows what must be done and passes it along to the next poor doc, because they are afraid to treat their patients to the best medical solutions! They are being made to feel like pushers!
Talk about creating a enviroment of fear and distrust with the one person you are leagally and morally supposed to trust, they have done a fantastic job of utterly destroying that solace for the people of this country and that is a sad, sad, situation!
There are dozens of medications for chronic pain. But, the best results occur with a combination of several different medications, including: 1) a long-acting pain medication (Fentanyl Transdermal, Oxycontin, Kadian, etc.), a short-acting drug for breakthrough pain (Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, Fentora, etc.), 3) an anti-depressant (to inhibit the reuptake of Seratonin) and 4) an anti-convulsant (for neuropathic pain). Many physicians, especially pain management physicians, comprehend that real long-term effectiveness relies upon this combination of drugs that deliver efficacy via different mechanisms.
P.S. I'm not suggesting that you go back to using marijuana. However, I've read several recent studies that prove the efficacy of marijuana (THC) for chronic pain. It serves many pain patients very well. The legal THC medication is called Marinol (Elan Pharmaceuticals). It was designed to treat the nausea and weight loss resulting from chemotherapy. However, many physicians prescribe it off label for chronic pain. The natural form of marijuana is now available legally via prescription in 15 states (and the list is continually growing). Your physician should display more concern about her patients pain than losing her license to the DEA.

'Ratatouille' Branded Wine
Disney's consumer products division has to easily double the size of its creative department. In accordance with the studio's aim to squeeze every possible dollar out of a film, it will release wines based on the movie Ratatouille: "For the first time, Disney will offer red and white wines to complement the film's backdrop, a five-star Parisian restaurant, as well as cheese platters, both from Costco Wholesale Corp."
Wine blogger Dr. Vino speculates that the whites will be Chardonnays from the Burgundy region of France. Something tells me that Thomas Keller's palate (in use as consultant for the film) will not go into these mass-market wines.
I may breach my no-Disney movie policy for this one, but I still don't recommend buying any wine with cute, fuzzy animals on the label.
Thanks for commenting!

On 3/22/2013, The Community Policing Team of The Madison Police Department's West District contacted Stephen Lee Wilson near Cameron Drive, after determining the vehicle he was operating had suspended registration. The MPD Sergeant immediately smelled the strong odor of un-burnt Marijuana, while Wilson insisted that the noticeable odor was due to a friend smoking in the car earlier.

College baseball
JARVIS CHRISTIAN 7, BACONE 5 — In the Red River Conference Tournament at Shreveport, La., the late going was costly for the Warriors, who left the bases loaded in the seventh and the eighth innings and came away with just a run. Jean Ortiz's fly to deep center in the eighth was snagged on the track for the final out.
Bacone (35-15) had 11 hits, led by Kyle Pietryga (3-for-4) and Wade Morton (3-for-5).
Adam Huizar went 4 2/3 innings and was the losing pitcher. He gave up 11 hits, struck out seven and walked none.
The Warriors play an elimination game at 11:30 a.m. today against Texas College.
OSU SWEEPS — Oklahoma State pushed its winning streak to four Saturday at TD Ameritrade Park as the Cowboys swept a doubleheader against Nebraska on the second day of the TD Ameritrade Classic.
OSU needed 10 innings to win the opener by a 5-3 count, and in the nightcap, sophomore southpaw Tyler Nurdin tossed a complete game gem, getting his first-career win in a 4-0 shutout performance. The opener marked the 14th time this season OSU has won in come-from-behind fashion
Tanner Krietemeier led the OSU offense on the day as he was 5-for-9 against his former team, while Rea added four hits and two RBIs.
CONNORS SOAKED OUT — Connors State's baseball game at Northeastern A&M on Saturday was postponed due to wet playing conditions at Homa Thomas Field in Miami. The game has been rescheduled for 2 p.m. Monday in Miami. The two schools will play a doubleheader today at Biff Thompson Field beginning at 2 p.m., according to Cowboys head coach Perry Keith.
OKLAHOMA 6, TEXAS TECH 2 — Sooner right-hander Jonathan Gray (8-1) allowed one run on two hits in 7 2/3 innings as Oklahoma (33-10, 10-4 Big 12) ensured a series win over Texas Tech (19-24, 5-12). Craig Allen was 3-for-5 to lead Oklahoma while Matt Oberste was 2-for-4 with two RBIs. Hilldale grad Jarrard Poteete was 0-for-4 hitting cleanup for the Red Raiders.

NORMAN — Tell people Oklahoma wants more from its tight ends this season, and it immediately conjures thoughts of Jermaine Greshman terrorizing defenses in 2007 and 2008.
In an ideal situation, the Sooners would have another physical mismatch at their disposal. They don't, but that doesn't mean OU won't use the position more than it did last season.
For one, all signs point toward do-everything fullback Trey Millard being used liberally at the spot. But another reason the position is being pushed hard since March is the kind of offense the Sooners want to become.
"Yes, we want to play with a tight end. Yes, we want that to be a pivotal part of who we are," offensive coordinator Josh Heupel said. "I think it helps change some of your perimeter run game. As long as we feel the guys at that position will allow us to compete for a championship, then we'll play with those guys."
It's doubtful anyone is going to mistake the Sooners for Barry Switzer's teams in the 1970s and 80s. They still have a lot of very talented receivers and they're going to get the ball.
However, running the ball the way OU wants to requires getting big men on the field.
OU lacked that ability last season. It quickly figured the young tight ends it had would not give them the physical presence required. The spot all but disappeared in the final two-thirds of the season because of it.
Getting Millard more involved at the spot gets him involved in more plays. Over the previous three seasons, that's tended to be a positive for the Sooners.
"I knew what the position entailed and some of the preparation that I needed to. I was definitely prepared to take that role and wherever they put me," Millard said.
But Millard, a senior, won't be around after this season. The plan to become a more physical running team is a long-term one. Developing the tight end spot is an essential part of the scheme.
OU coach Bob Stoops has seen strides since the 2012 season ended.
"I like what they're doing," he said about the tight ends. "They're doing a nice job and we do have them on the field more. Hopefully that will happen. We have them and they're doing a good job and all of them are a little more comfortable and experienced in what we're asking them to do and a little bigger and little stronger. You look at Taylor McNamara and Sam Grant, the two freshmen a year ago and they're much further along from now than where they were."
Does that mean 60 catches for an OU tight end this season? Very doubtful. But utilizing the position means running the ball more and creating more play-action opportunities. Tight ends seem to flourish most in those situations. The Sooners didn't have many of them last season.
Perhaps, that will change when the season kicks off Aug. 31 against Louisiana-Monroe. How big a change it really becomes is up to the tight ends.

Migrating to Drupal
Drupal is often mentioned in discussions about blogging tools or Web-based forum software. Sure, you can run a blog or an on-line forum using Drupal, but that is only part of what Drupal can do. Drupal is better described as a framework that provides an infrastructure for on-line collaboration and communities. It can be used to run corporate Web sites, intranets, news portals and many other types of Web sites.
The Drupal Project has its roots in an internal message board system built by University of Antwerp student Dries Buytaert for his student dorm. In 2001, Dries released the software as an open-source project named Drupal (pronounced "droo-puhl"). Others started using Drupal and began contributing to the project. Drupal is built using open-source technologies: the PHP programming language and the MySQL or PostgreSQL databases. Licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), Drupal can be downloaded and used for free. As with many successful open-source projects, Drupal is maintained and developed by a thriving user and development community. Five years old in January 2006, Drupal has evolved into a robust content management platform.
Working at a Web development firm, we have successfully built many Web sites for our clients based on Drupal. In this article, we share what we have learned, and we tell the story of our most complex Drupal project to date.
Planetizen is a community Web site for urban planners, architects, developers, environmentalists and other professionals. It offers daily news summaries, editorials, jobs and many other services. Launched in 2000, Planetizen has grown into a popular Web site with a large international audience. To manage a constantly updated Web site, such as Planetizen, a content management system (CMS) is a must. We had built our own custom CMS using PHP and MySQL in 2000. As the Web evolved, we wanted to add new features, but doing so meant expensive in-house development. So, we began looking at alternatives.
By this time, numerous open-source CMS projects had matured and offered many of the features we wanted to add. Migrating to a pre-built open-source CMS made sense. We could cut down on development time, add the features we needed and benefit from all the advantages that come with using open-source software. Because we already had experience using PHP and MySQL, we searched for open-source CMSes built using those technologies. After evaluating and testing several different packages, we selected Drupal. (See "Seven Criteria for Selecting Open Source Content Management Systems" in the on-line Resources.)
Drupal has many of the features you would expect from a modern CMS, such as user management; access control; work flow; separation of content, presentation and logic; and Web-based editing and administration. Drupal appealed to us for many reasons—here are the top five:
5) Sensible URLs and URL aliasing: many CMSes generate long, convoluted URLs that are difficult to share via e-mail or over the phone. Drupal arguably generates the sleekest URLs in the CMS world. Most Drupal URLs are in the format http://www.planetizen.com/node/156. Also, Drupal's URL aliasing feature makes it is easy to create URLs that make sense to readers. Using URL aliasing, the above URL can be mapped to http://www.planetizen/about/faq.
4) Syndication and aggregation: community Web sites, such as Planetizen, benefit from information flowing in and out of the site. Content stored in Drupal easily can be syndicated to readers or other Web sites using RSS feeds. Also, a news "aggregator" to pull in syndicated content via RSS feeds is built in to Drupal.
3) Modular architecture: Drupal's functionality is organized into modules that can be switched on and off. This approach makes it possible to build different kinds of Web sites with Drupal. If we were going to invest a lot of time into learning a CMS, it might as well be one that can be adapted for other projects as well.
2) Developer-friendly: we anticipated the need to customize any CMS we selected. We felt comfortable with Drupal's elegantly designed architecture and the consistency of the code. It was relatively easy to understand a feature and start making modifications. Features such as the devel module that displays database queries and variables for each page later proved to be invaluable in migrating to Drupal.
1) Taxonomy: our single-most important reason for selecting Drupal was its powerful taxonomy system for categorizing content. It is possible to create a set of descriptive terms and associate content with those terms. The taxonomy system makes it possible to adapt Drupal for a diverse set of content management needs.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

BUFFALO, S.D. (AP) - Oil development in northwestern South Dakota has prompted lawmakers from North Dakota to issue a warning: Brace yourselves.
"If it happens down here, you're going to have to educate everyone about its impact," Republican North Dakota state Sen. Bill Bowman told lawmakers gathered in Buffalo on Monday for an Oil and Gas Study Committee meeting.
Lawmakers from both states weighed concerns surrounding oil development in Harding County, the biggest-producing county in South Dakota's humble oil patch. About 50 residents - many of them ranchers - attended the meeting, which included tours of drilling and depredation sites.
Though South Dakota has had oil drilling for more than 50 years, its production has been a fraction of North Dakota's, producing about 1.6 million barrels of oil a year for the past several years. North Dakota, the country's second-leading oil producer, exceeds that production in less than three days.
"The positive side for our state is that we've generated an awful lot of wealth," Bowman said.
But it's also brought plenty of problems, he said. The oil boom has created traffic, housing and infrastructure headaches. Bowman said the production overall has been a burden on the state.
As advanced drilling techniques learned in the Bakken Formation travel south, lawmakers say production in South Dakota could expand. The potential is still unclear, but South Dakota state Rep. Roger Solum said state officials want to be prepared.
"We're looking at the potential for problems," he said. "We want to address those before this starts."
Rancher Ray Gilbert, who lives south of Buffalo, has 21 natural gas wells on his land. He's worried the drilling industry isn't stable and contends bond amounts for all drillers should be higher.
Buffalo, a town of fewer than 400 residents, is at the heart of the production. Committee members were expected to visit Bison, an even smaller town nearer the North Dakota border, on Tuesday.
Gary Gilbert, a fellow rancher and Ray Gilbert's cousin, said if an oil boom like the one in North Dakota hits South Dakota, lawmakers will have to step in to help.

"You misspelled Disney wrong." Are you kidding me? You must be an engineer since you have so little familiarity with grammar, syntax and tense.
If you can get in. Google is looking for the best, they treat them really well.
Who told you that they treat anyone well? That is an urban myth.
Good Luck, These companies( Google, Microsoft) prefer to hire H1B's..and hire few American College Grads.
That is simply untrue. I don't know much about Google other than I have a friend who works there, but Microsoft heavily, heavily, heavily recruits out of U.S. colleges. I was a college intern last summer at Microsoft and am returning again this year. They hire about 1,200 interns (most from the U.S. and Canada) and many of them are offered full time positions after graduation.
Bill Gates has said time and time again that Microsoft _does_ hire H1Bs but they do not *prefer* to. The sad truth is that the education system in the U.S. is not to the level of other countries and the majority of the students simply cannot get into Microsoft.
With that said, I still think your comment is inaccurate.
Who would want to work for NASA in this day and age? There are few areas of the public sector with LESS of a future than NASA… The shuttles have already been scrapped along with any hopes of manned missions to Mars. All NASA has left is peddling global warming theories and selling once important space technologies to China.
Alas, you are correct. NASA has lost it's way the bureaucracy has over the years gotten too big. There was no longer innovation possible. I watched the first shuttle blast off and felt pride by 2000 I was disappointed in their performance and political entanglement.

Zee Google ship has sailed. Why would any one of these young aspirants choose to work in such an oppressive environment with no/negative financial upside? This makes no business sense and encapsulates the ill-informed view of many of today's young graduates and techies. It's sad, sad, and did I say it is sad to see.
Google and Walt Disney Company would probably be great companies to work for. Anywhere one works they will have work hard to stay and make their mark. I didn't see any insurance companies on the list but I am not really surprised.

I would be interested to know what percentage of new graduates wanted to take the entrepreneurial route and create their own company, rather than joining an established organisation. We need a breadth and depth of unique and innovative companies rather than the top 10 established ones 'draining' the best talent.
Yes,now-a-days eveyone is interested in joining high profile companies but i think there is a lot of scope for the grads to learn in start up companies where they have a steeper learning curve compared to the bigger companies.So,it would be wonderful if there is a tool that can provide rating of the companies (based on various factors) depending on which people can get inside out of the companies and then decide to join one of them which are in par with their requirements.The best online tool i have come across for this purpose is www.barebars.com which has attracted crowd from about 22 countries.It takes into consideration of not only employees but also Job seekers, family of the employees and Market Analysts which is great to have a 360 Deg view of a company. I guess such information would definitely be helpful for all to make informed decision.
Good Luck, These companies( Google, Microsoft) prefer to hire H1B's… hire few American College Grads or War Veterans
Ugghhh….I'll take a small start-up company with a little bit of money and big dreams any day over these big firms.
Having interviewed with Google a few times, I liken the experience to joining a cult. Granted, this took place at a time when the company was still thinking more about infrastructure than on ways they could help consumers find and buy what they want. I was in the TV business, and came with a number of ideas for Google to take part.
They didn't want to hear anything about that. All they wanted to know is if I fit into its culture of exceptionally bright (and often just as narrow) technologists. That interview did not last long.
Funny thing is, six months later they announce plans to enter the TV space. That was a while ago. Their limited impact on it so far, other than simply doing more to help people with computers find video content, suggests that they are still not doing much to solve this problem within the business model of the providers who own the lion's share of the customers.
This suggests that while Google supplies a warm, fuzzy blanket for its techies to huddle under, they still don't want a workplace that brings out the transgressive thought that can make successful companies great.
Is G+ Censoring? Why Must The Innocent Pay? JEWS AND ISLAM.
I've been giving G+ a whirl. It's a brilliant piece of engineering. A social network however that has no commitment to free speech and due process. They blame this on Chinese hackers! and ominously warn that Authorities are in hot pursuit against the evil Chinese and their criminal hoards. After coming to the defense of Arabs and Islam to chart their own destiny. To clarify I'm an Agnostic, however I do not support insults against Islam or the Koran. After I attempted to post on G+ a retort to those who think the West has the moral authority to pass judgment on Islam or Muslims in general, My account was immediately suspended. In the WEST our hands are covered in the blood of innocents. In the past century the West slaughtered over a hundred million persons and washed their hands of all Jews as they were led to their death. Read the history of what lengths Jews had to go to because the WEST barred their entrance. Why should Jews put an ounce of faith in the words of Western powers to "protect" them in event of attack. Trust grows very slowly in the trammeled ground of the Jewish home land. The Jewish people will never again trust their survival to the "good will" of the West. Never.
There is another Semitic people known as the Arabs, They have a rich history and can be credited with preserving Western culture during the "Middle Ages" when we were intent on destroying it. This is a historical fact. Islam is not responsible for murdering six million Jews. The West is. The Arabs however were made to pay and pay dearly in the case of the Palestinians. The West is completely responsible for creating the enmity between these two great peoples. Jews are not responsible for the support of dictators and the depredations of the colonial powers, they also suffered at their hands. The WEST is. These are all historical facts. When Muslim's deny the Holocaust they create injury where none existed. To do this they allow the West to frame this contest as an Arab and Jewish contest fought to the bitter end. To do this it requires that Arabs deny the suffering of the Middle East at the hands of the West and pass blame to the Jews. Dictators installed by the West stoked these flames into an inferno to justify their existence. Hatred of Jews has now become a litmus test for whether you are Islamic enough. It is a Tragedy that that these two great cultures are at war. The victims have become the victimizers. Make no mistake even though pearls role of their lips, The West would like nothing better than two wash their hands of both.
what in the fuck are you talking about? this has nothing to do with working at top companies. you are in forbes tech, not world politics.
No surprise here: despite its growth and age, Google still retains a lot of its start-up and entrepreneurial spirit. Also working with top professionals in their area of expertise.
Why would everyone want to work for Google? Is it job security or some other reason?
What are your thoughts please?

"The amount of money that's involved is steadily increasing, and that may change some minds on the Hill," Dillingham said. "In my opinion, if that number continues to grow, the interest in having some of those funds be available to the aviation trust fund would also grow."
Whether the fees become a tax target when Congress next takes up aviation funding may depend in part on the stability of the airline industry. Already heavily taxed on tickets and fuel, and saddled with numerous fees, the airlines will underscore that they contribute an estimated $1 trillion in economic activity each year and employ almost 10 million people.
Medina points out that they lost $55 billion and 150,000 workers in the first decade of this century.
The squeeze to escape baggage fees by loading up the carry-on luggage has been blamed for longer lines at airport security checkpoints and occasional delays when every available nook in the cabin has been crammed full without finding room for it all.
Two airlines, Spirit and Allegiant, have begun charging passengers for some carry-on bags, too.
For some travelers, the fees are the cost of convenience.
Craig Furuta's job has him flying all over the country, and says he sometimes brings home more baggage that he left with if he finds things that he can't get in Washington.
"Such as, I bought a suit in London that I couldn't get here in the States, or buying certain jams and jellies — the local stuff is always the best stuff," Furuta said.
He had to lay out additional cash recently to check an overweight bag on US Airways.
"I was flying from Orlando, and I had it overweight because it was packed with souvenirs from Disney," he said. "It was $50 and it was worth it."

To the editor:
Sen. Brown, why would you ever sign (along with Mitt Romney Paul Ryan , Mitch McConnell, Eric Cantor etc.,) such a radical pledge as the Taxpayers Protection Pledge run by such an extreme right wing Republican group, Americans For Tax Reform?
Didn't you know that, in signing this pledge, you would be promising never to vote to raise government revenues by raising taxes for, any reason, and that all new revenues must come from cutting government programs; that your signing on to this pledge would effectively handcuff you to one position on budget issues? Didn't you realize that your claim of bipartisanship and independence would now go out the window?
However, this result of your signing is the least troubling to me. Much more importantly, couldn't you foresee that you were supporting an effort that forced the government, that in order to raise desperately-needed revenues, and in order to meet the constrictions of this pledge, would now have to decimate large-ticket programs for the middle class, such as mortgage interest deductions, public education, federal money to cities and towns for teachers, police, firemen, health and social programs etc.?
Aren't these the people you supposedly represent? Couldn't you see in signing this pledge, you would be adding even more of the tax burden and even more hardship on the middle class and poor while leaving the ultra-rich and powerful practically unscathed?
Couldn't you see that economy-stimulus money was now out of the question? Couldn't you see that all these things were the whole point of the pledge you took?
Couldn't you see that it was the reason for being, the AFTR to protect and preserve the wealth and power of the ultra-rich at all costs. Couldn't you see beyond the sham of those innocent sounding titles, the TPPand the AFTR, as to what they were really all about? Shouldn't the fact that they were run by Grover Norquist, Karl Rove and financed by extreme right wing Super Pacs, have tipped you off?
Is it part of your payback that the AFTR is now financing your campaign sending out flyers, Karl Rove-style, denigrating your opponent, Elizabeth Warren?
Some last questions: Do you really underneath, believe as they do?
Knowing all these facts, what should we, your constituents, believe about you?

You must have heard of a number of alternative ways for producing electricity, like solar power, wind power, etc. Here is a list showing certain innovative and out of the box methods by which you can generate electricity while having fun.
• Eco-night Club
Location: Pentonville Road, Britain
Owner: Andrew Charalambous
Concept: The dance floor of the eco-nightclub is made up of springs and a series of power generating blocks, which produce electricity through a process, called piezoelectricity. As the dancers dance, the power generating blocks are squeezed producing electricity, which is fed in to nearby batteries that are further used to power certain parts of the club.
Fun Factor: Does your mother keep telling you that you are wasting your time partying? Now you have an answer that will diminish this thought of hers. You can tell her that you produce electricity while partying.
• Electricity generating arm-band
Location: Glastonbury, England
Owner: Orange Telecom
Concept: A mobile phone charger is powered by dance energy. The kinetic movement of a system of weighs and magnets, which move as you groove, powers the charger. It weighs just 180 grams and can be strapped on the dancer's bicep. The energy generated while dancing can be fed into your cell phones when the batteries run dry.
Fun Factor: If you are not lucky enough to be able to visit the eco-nightclub at London, then this is a good piece of news for you. You can dance all night long and produce enough electricity to charge your cell phones.
• Convert work out sweat into electricity
Location: University of Oregon, US
Technology: ReRev
Concept: The energy from this power generating gym is converted from DC to AC before being transferred into the grid. The output is considerably small; a person pedaling 30 minutes would generate energy to run a laptop for approximately an hour.
Fun Factor: Producing electricity while working out is so cool. Now you not only stay fit by going to the gym but also generate some productive output.
• POWERleap produces Energy from Little Feet
Maker: POWERleap
Concept: POWERleap converts wasted energy from human foot traffic into electricity. The technology being used b this system is "piezoelectric technology and advanced circuitry design" which converts pitter-patter into power.
The basic idea behind the invention is that an individual's steps may not produce power but when steps of a gathering are combined, it surely can produce significant amounts of electricity.
Fun Factor: Even a small kid can contribute in generating electricity. The daily pitter-patter is being consumed to produce electricity, an invaluable energy source.
• Generate electricity while washing your car
Designer: Gregoire Vandenbussche
Concept: You can recharge your electric car batteries while washing them, using nothing other than the energy of water in the hosepipe, eventually reducing your electricity bills.
The device envisioned by Vandenbussche, POWA Water Generator , is a small turbine that is placed in between the hosepipe. As the water rushes through the pipe it turns, the blades of the small turbine that then generate electricity that can directly be fed into the car.
Fun Factor: We need to wash our cars regularly to keep them shiny and clean. However, if we could produce electricity while washing our cars, wouldn't that be an additional bonus for our labour?
• Charge your iPhone while playing golf
Location: Japan
Designer: Mac Funamizu
Concept: The gadget designed by Mac Funamizu harnesses the kinetic energy the user generates, when the grip is swung a certain number of times, that can be later used to charge mobile phones and other gadgets for a couple of hours. The device only has the handgrip and not the actual club, thereby checking the user from stroking a golf ball with this.
Fun Factor: It not only protects amateur golfers from hurting themselves and others, but also charges their iPhones and other gadgets. So, all you amateur golfers out there, go out to buy this golf kit. It is time to do constructive.
• Roll Kinetic Charger to juice up your batteries
Location: China
Designer: Jiang Qian
Concept: Roll Charger consists of two balls that can be split into two. AA or AAA batteries they are charged by placing them inside each ball. Electricity is generated when the balls are rotated in, eventually charging the batteries inside. They can power remotes or other devices. A LED in the device helps the user to know whether the charger is functioning properly or not and also tells when the battery is fully charged.
Fun Factor: You can juice up batteries while playing with these balls.
• Convert Sound Energy into electricity
Location: University of Utah, USA
Designer: Physicist Orest Symko and his students
Concept: Converting sound into electricity works on a simple mechanism. If heat is applied to any enclosed area, the air inside it expands increasing the pressure inside. This pressurized air, then moves through a filter or opening on one side, producing a simple clear sound at a standard frequency. That is the basic idea behind the system. Focused and directed frequency makes it easier to extract energy. The sound waves are then converted in to electricity by squeezing them thorough "piezoelectric" devices.
Fun Factor: Now there is no need to complain about loud music coming from parties. The loud music can be further converted into electricity. Therefore, somebody's party might power your house. Isn't that a great news?
• Electricity generating Hacked Heelys
Location: New York University, US
Maker: Christian Croft and Kate Harman
Concept: These students have come up with the idea of making effective utilization of energy created by rolling wheels of hacked Heelys. Energy so generated, is used up to power LED panel situated on the front end of the shoe. Generated electricity powers up a microcomputer and LCD display implanted on the shoe, showing travel directions such as- north, northeast, south. As per the speed, screen displays directions after 15 to 20 feet is covered. The path so directed by the screen imparts the driver a drunkard's walk.
Fun Factor: Can you imagine heely shoes generating electricity? The idea itself sounds so fascinating. You can produce electricity while rolling around in these shoes. Whats even better is that these shoes shows you travel directions and guides your way.
• iYo-Yo makes charging fun
Location: Sweden
Designer: Peter Thuvander
Concept: The energy generated while swinging the iYo-Yo is stored in a lithium-ion battery which can be used to charge your iPod or iPhone when the batteries run dry.
Fun Factor: It is great discovery where kids or adults can inadvertently produce energy as a byproduct of having fun.

EFFORTS to improve the lives of 'troubled families' on the Island were heard this week at the Conservative conference.
Isle of Wight Council leader Cllr David Pugh spoke about the 315 families receiving help from the authority, as part of a national drive to tackle long-term unemployment, truancy and anti-social behaviour.
He told the conference: "Our particular focus is on getting the Island moving — creating job and training opportunities for local young people and tackling the culture of worklessness that sadly exists among a small minority of our population.
"The vast majority of our households are strivers — our challenge now is to instil the same mindset among the hard-to-reach groups, and the identified 'troubled families' are certainly in that category.
"Despite the Island having a proud history of innovation and industry, too many of our young people and families are demotivated and lacking the skills and ambition to succeed.
"We have some great businesses and some highly talented people, but this currently doesn't stretch widely enough."
The scheme, called 'strengthening families' on the Island, includes providing families with a key worker to help them address their problems.

Oh dear, yet another comment deleted by the County Press. Why are you afraid of the truth? Surely if you have a section inviting comment you should allow comment, especially when the comments are factual and posted because people are passionate about this beautiful island unlike the leader of the council and his cronies.The future of the council will be decide next may and you could be dancing to a different tune then.

Pugh is interested in one thing before he is fired...implementin total tory ideology so he can slip into a Westminster Job...the man is not qualified to even talk about the problems on this Island, let alone do the job of running a council.
13th October 2012, at 16:06:58
Clearly my first post hit a nerve and the County Press exercised their own brand of censorship to protect David Pugh. WHY?

13th October 2012, at 14:20:20
it would seem the more antisocial a family is the more money is poured into a hopeless exercise to change their ways yet across the island many are struggling with day to day living, high fuel costs, which neither the council or our beloved mp are trying to help by getting the islands fuel subsidy enjoyed by other islands, extortionate bus fares coupled with non existent services to any area southern vectis can't make a profit on, utterly ridiculous ferry fares and the gradual withdrawal of services such as police.

Well said Mr Dawson, when the voting time comes around Pugh will be shown how important he is.and his cronies are, Its people for the island we need to help this island not for themselfs.

Tuition & Financial Aid:
The education I'm getting is well worth the money I spend.
Campus Resources:
We don't have a lot of resources like that because we are a small college but the ones we have are amazing and help a lot with our courses.
Campus Resources:
The resources at The Creative Center are great. They really understand how many users there are in the building.
Academic Flexibility:
Have to attend class everyday, & it counts against your grade if you are absent more than 3 days per class.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
It wasn't at all easy for me to get student loans, but the school was worth it, from what I can tell so far.
Campus Resources:
My school is based on trying to focus you on things to get out into the real graphic design business. We really don't have an activity center but we do have a library that has been very helpful sometimes and the faculty do make up days to have fun on like halloween for example.
Campus Resources:
This school focuses on what you need to strive in the world of graphic design, freelance, and managing your own business.
Campus Resources:
The print quality is far more amazing as you progress through school. The computer lab gives you quiet time during times when you need it, the network is stable and you can always count on your assignments to be where they are suppose to be. The need for a personal computer is mandatory. This school sets you up for success.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
The education I am receiving from The Creative Center is definitely worth the money I'm paying for. We get the latest programs for our laptops. The financial aid department was very helpful for my first semester there. They helped me find the right loans to take out since I was a little late to apply for any scholarships.
Career Services:
Well, I haven't graduated, but from what I've heard and seen, the students of The Creative Center find jobs. The type of job you want depends solely on how well you do, how hard you push yourself and motivate yourself. If you want a good job, you do the work. The Creative Center does a good job of preparing us for the outside world.
Academic Experience:
I like how one-on-one this school is. My class has under 50 students in it. We are allowed to take projects up to our teachers and ask them for their opinions. We learn what we need to improve on and what our strong points are. There's always room for improvement in whatever we do and our teachers help us with that.
Academic Experience:
I'm a graphic design major, it's hard to answer this question, I attend the Creative Center, it is a private college specifically geared toward obtaining a degree in graphic design, no filler classes or funny business. A typical class day is set up to mimic a work day and work environment, I take one class a day for 8 hours a day. The day starts with lecture, break, lab, lunch, lecture, break, lab. It's nice but somedays the works load is very overwhelming and it would seem that the professors always happen to give the most work on the say given week.
Online Courses:
As far as the ease of this program I think that the work load is substantially equal to my other collage classes the only difference being in the time allowed to complete the assignment, and the ease and ability of working ahead. I don't really interact with my professor, not because they wouldn't but because I haven't needed to, I suppose that speaks on the ease of using the only class program.
Career Services:
I'm really graduated yet, so I can't say much expect for the previous third years have all obtained a job only a few were unable to find work because there was none or the work wasn't what they intended it to be.
Academic Flexibility:
It's not flexible at all, classes are a fulltime commitment. So juggling a job, personal events and schedule is difficult to maintain. Depending on the school credits you earned only some will be accepted, which is a negative because it feels that the work and time put into those credits felt like they were for nothing.
Student Body:
The Creative Center is one the most diverse, open-minded, entertaining college that I attended. I'm satisfied with the learning atmosphere,over the two years I been here I've learned more about Design, Computer Graphics, and Illustration. It is fast pass environment and is not for the weak of heart, students that attend here know what they want and work hard to achieve their desired goals. The students are not serious all the time, there is time for socialization, meeting new people, developing friendships, and the staff know how to have fun on the holidays and post various events, jobs, and internships to occupy the students. So it's no snooze festival over here, there is always something new to see or learn about. The only negative I'd have to say is that they don't teach on animation much, they'll touch base on the basics but that's it. Though the education is good and students are getting careers in the field.
Campus Resources:
The school is a educational playground. Even down to the design and aesthetics of the building! We have fun. Education is more so preparation for a career we're going to enjoy!
Campus Resources:
The Network is A+ . It works.. for one. But secondly, it's always up, always fast, and never bogged down by to much traffic which is crucial for intense research sessions.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
On campus, the faculty and staff functions as our extended family so applying for financial assistance is a cinch. And the value of the education we recieve is more than words alone can explain. They're main objective is preparing us for a successful career in the creative industries. There's an obvious aura of sincerity and positive energy that fills the classrooms and hallways.
Campus Resources:
The facilities on campus are perfect for creative-minded students. Everything you would need to bring your creative ideas to like are right at your fingertips. We couldn't ask for a better staff of professionals ready and willing to help us in any way they could.
Campus Resources:
My School – My school is a lot different from normal colleges. We don't have a campus at our school, but they helped us find roommates for apartments upon coming to the college. It is academically challenging and keeps students on their toes. Every one in the building gets along with one another, since it is a rather small, specialty school and I love how we all feel like a close family.
Overall Experience:
My School – I love going to school every day and learning about topics I love. I really enjoy the atmosphere and the people there. It is always fun to create something new or work on a particular project every day. It is a great program, and I feel like I am really challenging myself and pushing on toward my dreams.
Academic Flexibility:
The Creative Center is a full time college and each day is dedicated to a certain class for eight hours. The teachers are there all day in case students need professional critics or help for understanding the assignment. Other than getting a new project every week its hassle free. I love the Creative Center since it is just for artists of all ages.
Overall Experience:
As a current student of the Creative Center I absolutely love my experience. The teachers are inspirational and fun to be around and the over all atmosphere is comfortable. At this school it feels like everyone is a big family and helps each other improve in their artistic skills.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
This college is the best for learning in the field of Graphic Design. The teachers and staff are fantastic and students learn what they need to do in the real business world. As a student at this school I say the price is right, there is no paying extra fees for books or a new laptop cause its all covered. The financial process was hassle free and i was able to start.

Jay Chen, the Democratic candidate campaigning for the newly drawn 39th District's House of Representatives seat this year, claimed his Republican opponent Ed Royce attended a "hate rally" aimed at an Islamic fundraising group in Yorba Linda last year.
In a phone interview, Chen also alleged that Royce, a 20-year veteran in the House and representative from the former 40th District covering parts of north and central Orange County, made comments at that rally rejecting multiculturalism in the United States.
"We want to let voters know who he is, because that's just not going to fly in a district that is 30 percent Latino, 30 percent Asian. We can't have that kind of representative," Chen said.
"He's made comments about wanting all federal service to be English only, including balloting, so he wants voting restrictions. And that's a clear attack on minorities and those for who English is a second language…He attended the Muslim hate rally in Yorba Linda, and he spoke out about multiculturalism."
Dave Gilliard, a consultant for the Royce campaign, responded to the comments from Chen, saying that, "if Jay Chen wants to call that a 'hate rally' then it shows a very shallow understanding of global terrorism."
Last February, the rally outside the Yorba Linda Community Center drew hundreds of flag-waving demonstrators from all over Orange County protesting a fundraiser held by the Islamic Circle of North American Relief USA.
The vitriolic nature of a small group of the rally's attendees garnered criticism of the protest across the Internet, and helped the YouTube video titled "Hate Comes to Orange County," which depicted parts of the protest, amass hundreds of thousands of views.
Protesters in the group shouted slogans like "go home," and "no Sharia law," at some of the fundraiser's supporters, who included women and children. Others hurled insults at people filming the protest.
According to the Orange County Register, many of the protesters were angry with the group's choice of two keynote speakers for the event: Imam Siraj Wahhaj, an imam at a mosque in Brooklyn, and Amir Abdel Malik Ali, a Bay Area Islamic activist.
A U.S. attorney named Wahhaj as a co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. He has since denied all involvement, and he was never charged.
Ali made statements at the University of California, Irvine in 2010 in which he supported the militant group Hezbollah.
Royce was invited to the Yorba Linda protest along with other Orange and Los Angeles county lawmakers like Rep. Gary Miller, the Republican congressman from the former 42nd District.
Royce spoke out against the two speakers, identifying them as radical Islamists.
"A big part of the problem we face today is that our children have been taught in schools that every idea is right, that no one should criticize others' positions no matter how odious," Royce said at the rally.
"And what do we call that? They call it multiculturalism. And it has paralyzed too many of our fellow citizens to make the critical judgement we need to make to prosper as a society."
However, after the rally, Royce also denounced the protesters who hurled insensitive remarks at the fundraiser attendees.
"I disavow the remarks and conduct of those protesters outside the entrance of the Yorba Linda Community Center who were yelling insults at those entering the center to hear Siraj Wahhaj and Abdel Malik-Ali. It was wrong," Royce said in a statement on his website.
According to Gilliard, Royce was there to speak because "these people are open advocates of terrorism against America."
Gilliard also responded to Chen's claims that Royce has supported legislation proposing English-only federal programs and voting restrictions.
Royce co-sponsored H.R. 997, the "English Language Unity Act of 2011," a bill that would have established the English language as the official language of the United States.
Royce has made comments supporting such legislation, saying that the federal government should also defund resources for Americans for whom English is not their first language.
"[English-only legislation] is also beneficial because right now we provide services for so many different languages," Royce said in a YouTube interview. "There's 300 languages, for example, that are spoken in California. Now think for a minute the resources that go into that, that instead could be deployed in order to teach young people English early, through immersion, effectively. How much would that save our state of California and the nation?"
Gilliard said that Royce is not against multiculturalism in the U.S., and that he has a track record of working with ethnic communities.
"He's been very involved with the Vietnamese community, he's been very involved with the Korean community, he's been very involved in the Indian-American community," Gilliard said. "And we don't give up one inch of ground to Jay Chen on any of those. It's sad and telling that he's trying to run a racial campaign here."

By RAY JOHNSON, Climate Science
---- — As the United States slowly begins moving forward and diversifying its energy production away from heavy reliance on both imported and domestic fossil fuels, these words come to mind:
"The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind."
Joan Baez, Bob Dylan and others sang this song in the 1960s at a time when our country faced dissent and critical choices, just as we do now.
The combustion by-product from all fossil fuels, as well as biomass, is carbon dioxide. For well over a century, its physical greenhouse gas properties have been known and demonstrated, and is a major contributor to climate change.
Efforts to reduce the emissions of this gas are beginning, and the momentum is picking up.
The map of the United States illustrates just five different sources of power used to generate electricity. A significant amount of hydropower (dams) is shown in the Northwest; areas of large photovoltaic installations are shown in the Southwest; major wind-power farms are shown in the middle portion of the country; coal plants are situated throughout the United States, with a large concentration in the Southeast; and finally, nuclear installations in the North-central and Northeast portions of our country.
In fact, some of all five kinds of electric generation, and others, can be found throughout the United States, but this idealized map gives a general sense where they are concentrated.
Let's look at the pie chart from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. This gives the percent of electricity generated by the different technologies available in 2010. Note that the top three sources — coal, natural gas and nuclear — provide about 89 percent of our needs. This is followed by seven more ways we generate the electricity to power our lifestyles today.
From a climate-change point of view, the top two sources (coal and natural gas), providing almost 70 percent of our electricity needs, come from fossil fuels and are major sources of our GHG emissions.
We can get a better feeling for what this means when we look at the enormous number of megawatt hours of electricity generated over an eight-month period.
Excluding nuclear, when we add up the amount of electricity produced by non-carbon dioxide generating means (hydro, wind, geothermal and solar), we get about 9 percent of the total.
But surprise, even without a national energy policy, many states and businesses are getting involved in the "green energy" revolution, and these efforts are beginning to have an impact.
Today, we will focus on just the wind-energy component.
In 2000, the United States had a total installed capacity of 2,540 megawatts. This amount assumes that all of the wind turbines are operating under ideal wind conditions and are producing at their maximum rating.
Now fast forward to the end of 2011. The United States then had 46,900 megawatts (equivalent to about 47 nuclear plants) of installed turbine capacity, or about 19 times that of 2000. Recent information for 2012 suggests that we can expect another 10 to 20 percent increase in capacity again this year. The investment-tax credits expire this year, and it will be interesting to see what action Congress takes.
The "2011 …" map shows the locations of these wind installations by state. Texas is by far the leader, with 10,377 megawatts installed. The 10 Southeast states have negligible capacity. This data comes from the American Wind Energy Association and the U.S. Department of Energy.
So what do all of these numbers, pie charts, graphs and amounts of electricity mean?
What the data suggest is that a power revolution is beginning to take place without and regardless of recent Congressional actions.
Terry Branstad, the Republican governor of Iowa, stated in a May 15 Wall Street Journal article that wind energy is working well for Iowa. The state is now getting 20 percent of its power from 2,900 wind turbines and has attracted billions of dollars in private investment. There are more than 215 wind-related businesses operating across the state, providing jobs for more than 5,000 workers.
The governor goes on to state, "(t)he wind-power industry is an American success story that is helping us build our manufacturing base, create jobs, lower energy costs and strengthen our energy security."
Hear! Hear! "And so it goes."

The Wittenberg-Birnamwood girls basketball team is off to a 10-2 start and looking to bring home their three straight CWC Large conference title.
It won't be easy, however. The Chargers face some stiff competition coming up. That includes a very important game this week against Wayauwega-Freemont, the only team that has beat the Chargers this season in the Wittenberg gym.
