The mobile phone that are mass produced todays have one or more faults integrated within them, this is due to the tendency of the manufacturer to reduce the production costs so that they could maximize the number of produced mobile phones. As a result the mobile phones that we use have a number of faults integrated within them, the fragile LCD display is the first one. One wrong move and your mobile phone will need immediate repairs. Another thing that should be discussed is the fact that today's mobile devices have a case made out of cheap plastic. This as a result proves to be extremely bad casing for the mobile phone. Needless to say that there fairly bad impact absorbers. So no matter how careful you are the inevitable will happen and your mobile phone will eventually brake down.

Cool data visualization pages proliferate.
Probably the most graphically stunning is A Handsome Atlas from Brooklyn Brainery, with its colorful and imaginative visualizations of nineteenth century census data.
Rich Blocks, Poor Blocks takes data from the US Census Bureau's 2007 through 2011 American Community Survey to map income data on income and rent. Data can be displayed by street address, zip code, census tract number, or city, and comparisons to state medians are also shown.
Bostonography was developed by two "cartography geeks". It includes maps on themes such as distances to liquor stores and Dunkin' Donuts locations. The site is also attempting to define some of Boston's disputed neighborhood boundaries by crowdsourcing "collective definitions of Boston's neighborhoods by its residents and those who know the city well."
Gapminder bills itself as "a non-profit venture – a modern "museum" on the Internet – promoting sustainable global development and achievement of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals." Its data page contains visualizations on 513 socioeconomic indicators by country. The same data is also available to download to spreadsheets. The rest of the site is also worth checking out, particularly the Joy of Stats documentary.

We added up the total number of stores in Massachusetts, and we're pretty sure it's over a billion. Boston's Back Bay is headlined by two malls in the heart of the city: the upscale Copley Place and the always-bustling Prudential Center. Just across the Charles River is the CambridgeSide Galleria, with three floors, over 100 stores, and moorings for those that like to travel to the mall by boat. The Square One Mall in Saugus has almost a million square feet of retail space, Legacy Place in Dedham has an exceptional line up of restaurants plus the Showcase Cinema de Lux that lives up to its name, and the Natick Mall has more stores than any other mall in New England. Yup, that's definitely at least a billion stores.

Fire investigators say an electrical problem sparked a fire that damaged a Greenville restaurant late Wednesday afternoon.
Deputy Fire Chief Eric Griffin says the electrical fire at Marabella's started in the back of the building in an office.
He says 27 firefighters were called to the Greenville Boulevard location to extinguish the blaze.
City inspectors put a condemned sign on the restaurant today, while the adjacent laundromat and dry cleaners remain closed.
The owner of the restaurant surveyed the damage Thursday and said their first plan is to meet with their insurance company and then they will meet with the landlord to decide if they will re-open at the same location or somewhere else in Greenville.
Marabella's has another Greenville location next to Best Buy.
Previous Story
A Greenville shopping center that houses a popular Italian restaurant caught fire late this afternoon.
Smoke and flames were coming out of Marabella's Restaurant on Greenville Boulevard. The fire was reported shortly before 5:00 p.m. and multiple fire units responded.
The shopping center houses the restaurant, a laundromat and a dry cleaning business.
The fire started in the restaurant's kitchen, according to firefighters, and by 6:00 p.m. it was extinguished.
No one was injured in the fire. Lanes were shut down on Greenville Boulevard for a couple of hours.

Cootie Catchers -- Cheap and Easy (Craft Project... Not Me!)
We celebrate half-birthdays for the under-thirty half of our family. When the Frog Princess officially turned 5 and-a-half last month, we celebrated with half a birthday cake (just bake in a round pan and cut it in half, throw in a layer of frosting or jam and stack them -- you've got half a cake) and a small present. Last year it was $4 to spend as she wished at the Dollar Tree. This year it was a set of home-made Cootie Catchers. Remember these from school? So fun, so retro, and a great entertainment at the dinner table for many nights to follow.
For directions on how to make your own cootie catcher (if your middle-aged brain has forgotten) visit Mom's MiniVan or Squigly's Arts and Crafts. We made one with silly fortunes ("You will make a new friend tomorrow", "Something mysterious is about to happen", "The Cat knows the answer"...) and one with answers to any Yes or No question (like a Magic eight ball - "Definitely","Maybe","Yes","No","Hopefully"...) Then we moved on to printing a couple off of the internet and playing with them as well (check out the PBS kids Arthur site). They were a huge hit and great practice for my Kindergartner's spelling (y-e-l-l-o-w) and counting.
I love it when I can keep my kids busy, entertained, and having fun while learning and all for the cost of a few sheets of paper and some markers we already had on hand. The Frog Princess said it was her favorite half birthday present yet! These would make fabulous stocking stuffers as well! Imagine if we all went back to simpler and greener gift ideas like this for our kids instead of all of the commercialized, made overseas, painted with questionable paint plastic trash. I wonder if I could get away with handing out these for halloween instead of candy? Hmmm.....

Video: 4-year-old Boy Shoots, Kills himself in Woodbridge, VA
Video: 4-Year-Old Accidentally Kills Himself
DALE CITY, Va. (WUSA) --- A four-year-old boy died after shooting himself in the head after finding a handgun in an unlocked pickup truck parked in front of his home on Empire Street here.
Family members were in the home at the time of the Wednesday afternoon shooting but police say it appears Kyrell Kyyon McNeill was alone when he entered the truck and fired the gun.
Neighbors rushed to the truck after hearing the gunshot, which was followed moments later by the screams of the boy's mother.
They say ambulance workers arrived quickly but the boy could not be saved.
9NewsNow talked with the boy's great grandfather, Timothy McClein. He says Kyrell is one of 7 children he helped raise. He says Kyrell climbed into his pickup truck that he lent to the boy's stepfather.
"My heart is heavy. I've got so much sorrow in my body it's pitiful. I raised those kids. They're my great grandchildren but they are my kids."
McClein lost his wife of 44 years 7 months ago. He says the boy's brothers are trying to comfort each other.
"The brother said the other one. Don't cry. He's with Nannie now. Nannie's my wife. He said don't cry."
Next-door neighbor Javiar Garcia used to give quarters to the boy, and enjoyed watching the child push his scooter up and down the sidewalk that runs in front of their homes.
He had just parked his own car after running an errand when he heard the mother's screams and rushed to help.
"She said 'My baby's dead. My baby's dead,'" he said.
"I saw the baby in the back seat with (his body) down, and they had blood around and a little hole in his head too, and I said 'Oh my God, we have to call 9-11,"" he said.
The mother had already phoned to ask for help, he told 9News Now.
Neighbors expressed sadness and concern for the family, but one had strong feelings about what should happen next.
"My opinion is that the owner should be charged.
"Whether it's an illegal, weapon or a legal weapon, he should have had his vehicle locked," said neighbor Dave Brain.
"It's still under an active investigation. Once we determine whether or not there was negligence here, there are the potential for charges," said Prince William County police officer Jonathan Perok on Wednesday evening.
No charges have been filed as of Thursday night.

Tomorrow/Friday 3/22 is World Water Day! Something that seems as simple as having water, isn't the simple. We've seen this on a very low level in parts of Central Texas with the drought we are in. But many across the world don't have access to fresh water.. WORLD WATER DAY is another way we can help! Click here!
Saturday 3/23 celebrates 'EarthHour'. When it hits 8:30 at each timezone peeps are asked to put away, unplug, and turn off all technology that tend to suck the energy out of Mama Earth. An hour all natural on Saturday night. In many places there are parties being planned. Think you can do it? It's amazing how NOT EASY it is when you are used to everything being on and accessible for entertainment, information and all around keeping up in seconds.

Comrades Bar
this wiki
- "Don't try ordering caviar at this tough Russian hangout in Hove Beach or you might end up with a permanent smile on your face."
- ―GTA IV Manual Description
Comrades Bar is a bar in Grand Theft Auto IV. It is located in Mohawk Avenue (directly opposite the Broker Safehouse), Hove Beach, Broker, Liberty City and is popular with the local Russian immigrant population.
The bar was frequented and owned by Vladimir Glebov before his death and is the base for his missions in Grand Theft Auto IV, while Mickey works as a bartender there. Early on in the game, the bar is close to being closed down due to customers smoking in the bar. Four missions start from the bar, starting with Bull in a China Shop, after Easy Fare from Roman. A baseball bat can also be found in the back of the bar.
Roman is uneasy being taken to the bar early on in the game, due to the possibility of meeting Vlad, but upon leaving becomes more confident. If you take him to the bar after Vlad has been killed, he says that they will raise their glasses to the late Vlad while they drink.
Due to the realignment of the elevated subway track above Mohawk Avenue, the Comrades Bar frontage is not visible in the Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars rendition of Liberty City
The interior of the bar, accessible during Uncle Vlad, Ivan The Not So Terrible and multiplayer (in all modes except Free Mode) features various references to previous GTA titles, including postcards from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City behind the bar, albums by OG Loc, Madd Dogg and Rudy LaFontaine in the jukebox, a framed picture of Vladimir Glebov near the back door, and dollar bills emblazoned with the prostitute on the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas box art behind the bar. There is also a Russian flag hanging on the ceiling and an unusable pool table.
Known employees
- Vlad Glebov - Former Owner
- Mickey - Bartender
- The music playing in the bar is Vladivostok FM as it is the favourite radio station of the Russian Mafia.
- In the mission Uncle Vlad, you can either ignore or kill Mickey, the bartender but whether you kill him or not, it won't effect the storyline in any way.
- The missions Uncle Vlad and Ivan The Not So Terrible are the only times when you can enter the bar in single player mode, though there is a glitch to get in, but once you do get in, you will be trapped inside as both doors are locked. To get out, you will have to either load a previous save file or commit suicide. The player can also enter the bar in multiplayer.
- Although the player cannot enter the bar in single player, if you position the video replay camera inside, you will find random patrons.
- It is likely that the Comrades bar was originally meant to be an accesible interior, due to the details put into it, and the presence of a pool table.
- Comrade is a term used by the old Soviet citizens in addressing their allies. It works the same way as 'Mate' and 'Friend'.
- After you kill Vlad, and you ask Roman to go out for a drink, and when you go to Comrades Bar, Roman will sometimes say "Lets drink to the late Vlad."

Governor Pat McCrory was generous to the Tryon palace in New Bern in his first recommended budget.
In the proposed budget, the palace budget would increase from about $2 million a year to more than $2.6 million a year for the next 2 fiscal years.
Recently the palace has struggled to stay within their budget and stay open. This money would be geared toward restoring critical operating support and staffing.
"This is very important and dramatic. We have gone through this over 18 months and the fact that we are on the governor's budget led me to believe we will be able to avoid loosing further or additional positions," said Tryon Palace Director Philippe Lafargue.
The palace says it hopes to lessen the amount of government funded support and raise funds through private donations. The budget still has to go through the legislature.

One of the primary goals of the CBA is to promote improvements in the administration of justice and advancements in jurisprudence. The CBA's legislative program is a major part of its effort to satisfy this goal.
The CBA regularly takes positions on bills pending before the State legislature. The CBA publishes the e-Legislative report weekly during the legislative session, showing the current status of selected legislation and legal issues before the legislature. A legislative action report is also featured in The Colorado Lawyer, and a topical synopsis called the Legislative Update is published in the July and August issues of The Colorado Lawyer.
In order to appreciate the amount of effort expended on the CBA's legislative program it is necessary to realize that 700 or more bills and 500 resolutions are likely to be introduced in the Colorado House and Senate in a typical session of the General Assembly. A single bill may range in length from a simple one-paragraph amendment to a 200-page code revision.
Adding to the difficulty of monitoring legislation is the uncertain course it may follow. A bill may be introduced, rushed through committee hearings and onto the floor of the House or Senate and sent to the other chamber in a matter of days. Or it may be introduced, assigned to a committee and remain there for the balance of the session. The agenda for the committee hearings is often announced less than a week in advance, and sometimes interested parties are given only a few hours notice in which to prepare their testimony. Keeping track of the status of the volume of bills, some of which may be in an almost constant state of amendment, can in itself be a full-time job. The process of analyzing each bill in terms of its effect upon present law, public policy considerations, and its possible impact upon the administration of justice and the legal profession in Colorado add still other dimensions to the problem. For these reasons, the CBA employs a director of legislative relations to monitor the introduction and progress of bills of interest to the bar and to assist in making our voice more effective in the legislative process. This person prepares written and oral reports to the Board of Governors (Board) and Executive Council, listing both the statuses of bills upon which the CBA has already taken a position as well as recently introduced legislation of potential interest.
The "core values" of the legislative policy committee (LPC) are those values that the LPC should always consider when deciding whether to take a position on an issue. Those core values are:
The LPC is not a drafting office, but should point out drafting errors and help improve the clarity of proposed legislation. The LPC may do so even when it disagrees with the substance of proposed legislation, although there may be times when the LPC refuses to help clarify a bill that the LPC considers fundamentally bad. The LPC must help ensure clarity in any legislation that it supports.
The LPC should generally get involved in legislation that affects the practice of law, the business of lawyering, the court system, and lawyers' fees and lawyer-client relations.
The LPC should, as much as possible, reflect the wishes of our constituents, i.e., the members of the CBA. To do this, the LPC should make sure:
The Constitution of the United States and the State of Colorado
The LPC should generally get involved in legislation, referenda and initiatives that affect issues of constitutional dimension, including the doctrine of separation of powers.
The LPC should generally support legislation that supports and improves access to the justice system by all persons.
Independence of the Judiciary
Believing that an independent judiciary is a fundamental component of our democracy, the LPC should generally support legislation that supports and improves the independence of the judiciary.
Jury Trials
Believing that the right to a jury is a fundamental component of our justice system, the LPC should generally support legislation that supports and improves the right to a jury trial.
Legislative Relations
Since good relations with the legislature are critical aspects of any effort to influence legislation, the LPC must strive to maintain professional and harmonious relations with legislators and the legislature. The most important way the LPC can achieve this goal is by consistently providing accurate and objective information to the legislators and the legislature.
It is the function of the director of legislative relations to promote or oppose the passage of legislation previously reviewed by the Board, the Executive Council, or the Legislative Policy Committee.
The director of legislative relations is a registered lobbyist and vigorously advocates the CBA's position on proposed bills. The director monitors their status closely and the bar exercises every opportunity to testify on them. The director meets individually with legislators and with other interest groups that may be lobbying on these same bills. The CBA's ability to maintain an effective legislative program is directly dependent upon whether its members are willing to devote their time and effort to legislative analysis. Similarly, the credibility of the bar is proportional to the amount of expertise that the CBA is able to bring to bear on any given issue. The CBA's credibility also depends on the extent to which our views are perceived as not primarily self-serving, but as promoting the interests of both the legal profession and the public in improving the administration of justice and advancements in jurisprudence in this state.
"Sponsorship" of legislation implies extensive study and review by the sections and committees of the CBA. The term also assumes that ultimate responsibility for the legislation rests with the CBA with regard to solicitation of legislators to carry the bill, scheduling of witnesses, and lobbying to ensure its passage.
The CBA will not "sponsor" any bill without debate and approval by the Board, the Executive Council, or the LPC. Legislation sponsored by the CBA should be fully and fairly debated, prioritized and approved by an informed Board, Executive Council or LPC before it can become a CBA-sponsored bill. Regarding the submission of proposed legislation to be considered by the Board, Executive Council, and LPC, committees and sections of the CBA will be governed by the following rules:
A bill that is a candidate for CBA sponsorship must be submitted in final form to the director of legislative relations no later than August 1 of the year preceding introduction into the legislature. In addition, a short summary of the intent of the legislation (what it will accomplish, what impact it will have in other substantive areas, supporting arguments) will serve to alert the Board, Executive Council or LPC to areas of potential controversy and to outline the preparatory work done on the bill.
Bills proposed for sponsorship will then be submitted to the Legislative Policy Committee ("LPC") prior to Board or Executive Council consideration. The deadline mentioned above may be waived by the LPC for good cause.
Each committee or section of the association which has submitted a bill to the Board, Executive Council, or LPC shall be represented by at least one of its members at both the LPC meeting and the Board or Executive Council meeting for the purpose of explaining the bill and answering questions.
"Final form" as used above means:
The LPC shall have the authority to direct the director of legislative relations to support or oppose any legislation not previously considered at a meeting of the Board or Executive Council, but such authority shall be exercised with reservation. The authority shall generally apply, however, to bills submitted to the legislature by outside parties not subject to these rules, and shall apply to bills of interest to the CBA that were not available for discussion at a prior Board or Executive Council meeting. The authority shall also apply to amendments submitted during the course of a legislative session to a bill on which the CBA has previously taken a position.
"Support" or "Oppose" implies a less extensive review process given the time constraints of the legislative process. It also assumes that affected sections and committees have been notified and given the opportunity to respond. The term implies CBA involvement that is limited to scheduling of witnesses and lobbying, but not to ultimate responsibility for the bill.
Bill Routing Procedures. When bills are made available from the legislature, they are reviewed for policy or legal impact on the CBA. The bills are then sorted and promptly faxed or e-mailed that same day to the affected sections and committees.
The substantive analysis of proposed legislation is primarily the responsibility of committees and sections. There are three positions which they may take in this analysis: active support or active opposition; a position of monitoring the bill; or no position if a bill is not sufficiently important to the Bar to warrant the taking of a public position.
In order to most effectively participate in the legislative process, the sections and committees must be prepared to respond to a bill as soon as possible. A safe guideline is to respond to the CBA with a position noted no later than 5 days after the day the section or committee receives it. If the section or committee does not respond, the office assumes that the section or committee is neutral on the bill.
Taking a Position. After a section or committee requests a CBA position, the bill is scheduled for discussion at the next Legislative Policy Committee meeting. The LPC generally meets weekly during a legislative session at the CBA offices to review these requests. Representatives of the section or committee are required to attend the meetings to inform the LPC as to the pros and cons of the proposed position and any opposition, either known or potential. The LPC will then review the proposed position and take a position. After the LPC authorizes a position, the director of legislative relations will then coordinate testimony and lobbying with the section chair and/or legislative liaison.
Aside from the positions of support or opposition discussed above, the committee or section may suggest an alternative approach or amendments to the bill in question.
With regard to legislation introduced by persons not subject to these legislative guidelines and procedures, the LPC may take any of the following courses of action, as appropriate:
In order to effectuate the intention of this paragraph, the director of legislative relations will endeavor to disseminate to all interested sections and committees the agendas for all LPC meetings to allow divergent positions to be heard.
Upon prior approval of the LPC and in strict conformance with these guidelines, individual sections may be permitted to contract with outside lobbyists at the expense of the section to work on CBA sponsored or supported bills from time to time as may be directed by the LPC. In no event shall a section be permitted to contract with an outside lobbyist without prior LPC approval of the contract and the subject matter to be addressed by the contract lobbyist. In addition, any such contract lobbyist shall work directly with the CBA's director of legislative relations to coordinate efforts and identify possible conflicts within the CBA. In no case shall a section be permitted to contract with a lobbyist to work on legislation not previously considered and approved by the CBA in conformance with these guidelines.
No section or committee may take a position on legislation unless authorized by the LPC.
The mechanics of how the LPC operates must remain flexible, but the following guidelines should inform and guide the way the LPC conducts business:
The President of the CBA is the LPC chair and shall run the LPC meetings. The president-elect of the CBA is the vice-chair of the LPC and shall run the LPC meetings in the absence of the chair. The chair may designate a person to act as chair as needed. When the legislature is in session, meetings shall be held each Friday morning at 7:30 a.m. The chair may cancel such meetings when there is no LPC business.
Requests that the LPC adopt a position on legislation may come from a variety of sources, including CBA committees and sections, the director of legislative relations, LPC or CBA members, legislators, lobbyists and others. Generally, all requests should be funneled through the director of legislative relations.
In order to ensure that LPC members have adequate time to consider a request prior to the LPC meeting, all requests should be made to the director of legislative relations by noon on the Wednesday before the meeting. The director of legislative relations will then transmit these requests to the LPC members as soon as practicable. A spokesperson for the group making the request should be invited to attend the LPC meeting.
In order to ensure the best possible communication between the LPC and other CBA committees and sections, each committee and section should designate a legislative liaison(s). The LPC must also strive to alert committees and sections about legislation affecting their areas of interest, and to notify them of actions taken by the LPC and the status of the legislation in which the committee or section has shown an interest.
The LPC should make full use of e-mail and other electronic forms of communication to ensure that all needed information is distributed as quickly and efficiently as possible to all members. The director of legislative relations will ensure that the LPC members are kept current on the status of legislation in which the LPC has expressed an interest.
The LPC needs to remain active during the period between legislative sessions, as more and more legislative work is now taking place during this period. The inter-session meetings can better address overall process and 'big picture' issues as the LPC will not be faced with the press of deciding about pending legislation.
When the legislature is not in session, the LPC will meet monthly, generally on the second Friday of each month at 7:30 a.m. The chair may cancel such meetings if there is no LPC business to attend to. The chair will set the agenda for such meetings, but should be guided by the following goals:
Agenda items that should be covered during the inter-session include:
June. Review the successes and failures of the preceding legislative session; discuss the factors that led to those successes and failures, and design ways to improve the success rate. Learning from our 'losses' is critical to improving our ability to affect legislation. Make note of those issues and bills that will likely recur in the next session in order to help prepare for that session.
July. This will be the first meeting for new members, and should include a training and information component so that new members understand how the LPC operates. Articulate the goals the LPC hopes to achieve before the next session. We should begin planning our efforts to educate legislators: "the Colorado justice system".
August. The chair can exercise his or her authority and cancel this meeting unless there is some pressing issue.
September. Invite those legislators who may be most important to the CBA in the legislative process (e.g., the leadership and the members of the judiciary committees of both houses) so that good communications are established. (This may need to be deferred in election years.) Invite members of other organizations (such as the state court administrator's office, the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association, the Colorado Defense Lawyers Association, the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar, the Colorado District Attorneys' Association, etc.) who are also involved in legislative efforts that may be related to the efforts being made by the CBA.
October. Meet with those persons who have been designated the legislative liaisons of the various CBA committees and sections. The liaisons should be educated about LPC processes so that the process runs as smoothly as possible once the legislature is back in session. Legislative proposals from CBA sections and committees should be presented by this meeting.
November. In election years, this may be the meeting at which designated elected officials are invited. We may have some bills to begin considering as well. Planning for "the Colorado Justice System" should be complete.
December. By this time, we should have a good idea about a significant amount of the legislation that will be offered, and need to ensure that the various committees and sections have the information they need and are beginning the process of formulating recommendations. Absent good cause, legislative proposals from CBA sections and committees should be in final form by this meeting. "The Colorado Justice System" will generally be held this month, at least in election years, hopefully in coordination with the training now given to new legislators. In off years, it may be held earlier.
In order to communicate more effectively with the legislature as a state bar association, the CBA's goal is to implement a statewide "legislative contacts network." The nucleus of this network is the local bar associations. It is crucial to the success of the network for the local bar associations to participate.
The CBA encourages local bar presidents to find out who has the ear of their local legislator. Most legislators have an attorney who they trust and will call for advice on legal issues. The CBA would like to know about this contact when we need help with a legislator or when a legislator needs special assistance.
Set up a committee for your local, county or district. Suggested members are the local bar president, a judge, a practicing attorney and any close personal friends or associates of the legislator. The charge of the committee is four-fold:
No section or committee may take positions on federal legislation or issues unless the position has been approved as a Colorado Bar Association position. In order to become a CBA position, the LPC, the Executive Council or Board must approve the position. In emergency situations, the president, acting with the advice of the immediate past president and president-elect, may authorize a CBA position. Sections and committees may serve as a resource or provide technical information on either state or federal issues only if they have approval of the president or the executive director, and they make it clear that they are not advocating a CBA position
Section and committee chairpersons or their representatives are often asked to represent a CBA position on legislation that has been approved by the LPC, Executive Council and/or the Board. The LPC recommends the following guidelines for testifiers:
Be prepared to address the pros and cons of the issue. Do the necessary research so you can comment on both sides of the issue. It is important that CBA testifiers be viewed as reliable resources.
The CBA awards committee may present the sue Burch legislative award in recognition of contributions to the CBA's legislative efforts in written and oral advocacy.
Sue Burch was a CBA volunteer extraordinaire. Sue served on the legislative policy committee and political education committee for many years and offered her expertise in legislative matters. In 2000, sue lost her battle with cancer. In that same year the CBA honored her memory by creating an award to show its appreciation for all her hard work in the legislative arena. Sue was the first recipient of the award, which was given to her posthumously.
June 1 – Announce that nominations will be accepted thru July 31
August 1 – Close of nominations
October 1 - Selection of recipient
November – Board of governors meeting or other appropriate venue

IEEE on home energy management, Part II
An interview on the thinking behind HEMS
Yesterday we ran the first part of an interview with Oleg Logvinov, member of IEEE-SA Standards Board, vice chair of IEEE Standards Association's P1901.2 Working Group, and director of market development at STMicroelectronics.
(See "IEEE: Standards Will Enable Home Energy Management.")
Today we offer the second half of the interview. We asked Logvinov about the drivers and progress in the standards-setting processes.
Intelligent Utility: The diversity of participants involved in standards setting is a strength, but it can also make reaching consensus arduous. How do diverse participants reach consensus?
Oleg Logvinov: When you have a diverse group of people with diverse sets of experiences, getting to a consensus is always a challenge. Diverse opinions always create an opportunity for disagreement. And I think that's where the expertise of IEEE-SA comes into play. One very important ingredient, in my opinion, is the help they get from the staff in IEEE-SA in guiding groups through how to implement the process for consensus building. That is an absolutely vital element to the success of the project. If you look at the progress made today for the group that I'm very familiar with, as an example, 1901.2, it is a phenomenal example, in my opinion, of being able to go from essentially a concept of a standard, to something that is today in a letter ballot stage within 24 or less months.
Intelligent Utility: What I'm hearing is two-fold. One is that IEEE-SA provides somewhat of a disinterested, third-party guide and process to resolve difficulties. And I sense underlying what you're saying is that the companies involved see the market opportunities and there are substantial financial drivers for each company to arrive at consensus. Would that be fair?
Oleg Logvinov: People would not be in a room if they didn't see an opportunity to use this technology to create revenues and profits. And it is absolutely important to have unbiased help that can guide you to the right goal. Those two things enable people to work together. Is it possible that here and there you'll have undetected intellectual property embedded into the standard? Yes, of course, it's always a risk. But I think the better your processes, the better your chances are to come out with something that has value and is not at risk of being essentially taken hostage by any one party.
Intelligent Utility: Give us an example, if you will, of interesting developments at the level of specific standards.
Oleg Logvinov: We haven't talked about 1905.1 and I think 1905.1 is a very interesting development because it is the first-of-a-kind step towards abstracting specific home networking technologies and making them essentially invisible to a consumer eye. If you look at 1905.1, it provides a single unified interface that the system sees. And behind this interface today are technologies such as 802.3, 802.11, MoCA, 1901. And those technologies will work behind the abstraction layer essentially in unison and in uniform fashion and the abstraction layer would allow the system to find the best path to get data from A to B or potentially A to B to C if necessary to relay it. So 1905.1 is the first step in trying to create something that essentially hides the nitty gritty of the communication link away from both the system and the consumer. And I think that's a very promising direction because it opens up the gate for essentially this transition into the "Internet of things" inside the home.
Intelligent Utility: Is there work necessary in the standards arena to address how consumers will see and control the home network?
Oleg Logvinov: We're just starting to enter this area. As I said before, we're starting to look at what is needed above the communication link. And I think the next phase of standards development will take into account standardization of technologies similar to maybe a Smart Energy Profile 2.0 that is being developed right now. I hope that this technology will transition into the standards world at some time. I think we'll start seeing more and more of that type of application layer standardization that would allow multiple devices to interact among themselves regardless of who the manufacturer is, and achieve this great opportunity to reduce our peak consumption as well as consumption overall. As an example, that means that both the pool pump and your clothes dryer have to have a technology that will allow them to signal to each other about which device turns on and which remains dormant. That requires standardization but at a very different layer. That's application layer standardization.
Intelligent Utility: What are consumers likely to notice first that will signal that they've entered the world of the home network? Dynamic pricing offered by the utility? Devices on the shelf at Best Buy? Some sort of central controller that could be applied at the home? Where does the consumer begin to see the realization of all of these efforts?
Oleg Logvinov: We have already started seeing a lot of real world applications. The challenge is to scale it down from something that is very expensive, and typically goes into multimillion dollar homes, to something that can be a product at Best Buy and Fry's and sold into any household. To me, that will really be the entrance into the "Internet of things" era for the consumer's energy consumption and home networking. When we start seeing systems that actually are affordable and can be put into every household that's what will mark the beginning of the era of the "Internet of things" entering the home. I don't think that you will see a very pronounced trigger point. What you will see is a gradual development in many, many areas. In some areas, it will be easily recognized because it's needed, as in electric vehicle charging. If you look at LED lighting, it will bring new applications and new ways of controlling lighting, because by design it's part of an implementation. You will start seeing those islands of more intelligent devices that enter your home first. And then all of a sudden, the footprint of those more intelligent devices will be enlarged to the point where they connect into one unified system.

Intelligent Utility Daily
Where is all this headed anyway??
The little scraps of the great Smart Grid Scam, taken independently, all look fine. Upon stitching them into a tapestry however, one is left with an incoherent abstraction not unlike a Jackson Pollock painting.
Utilities have a historic desire to load shape and of course it makes economic sense to avoid the construction of new generating stations just for the purpose of satisfying occasional high peaks. But that's not really the modern objective. The modern objective is to accommodate costly and unreliable "renewable sources". Along with shaving peaks the addition of high cost storage should improve the technical outlook for renewables even if the net economics are fundamentally unsustainable. Nevermind, the objective is all-things-green-at-any-price.
So, utilities will deploy dynamic pricing, scaled to ensure that the highest-of-high daily costs overlay human circadian rhythms. No need to "sell" the largely-captured-by-monopolies public on new "countermeasures", they will be clamoring for them. Of course any theoretical "savings" that might accrue from load shaping devices, gadgets and apps will be judged against "necessarily skyrocketing" prices not against current high prices. Accordingly, the devices, gadgets and apps will be seen as wildly successful….based on what they are capable of doing, not for how they are deployed and used. Meanwhile, monthly bills will be higher than ever….likely by a significant margin.
Again, this is not about diverting the construction of more generation. We are adding thousands of megawatts of "renewable sources" annually and stretching transmission lines to every wasteland where a freshly excited electron appears. Still, coming-soon-to-a-utility-near-you will be a coal fired plant closing…the loss of which simply justifies the addition of even more costly and unreliable renewables.
A sane green culture would be encouraging a national initiative toward natural gas powered vehicles. Such a move would have environmental benefits within an economically sustainable template and would have the side benefit of moving the US closer to energy independence. Instead, the Sierra Club, formerly a champion of clean burning $8 natural gas has turned a 180 and has now sworn a literal death oath against $2.50 natural gas.
What EXACTLY is the end game?

Air Pollution a Culprit in
Worsening Drought and Flooding
Increases in aerosols can affect cloud development
Increases in air pollution and other particulate matter in the atmosphere can strongly affect cloud development in ways that reduce precipitation in dry regions or seasons. This while increasing rain, snowfall and the intensity of severe storms in wet regions or seasons, according to results of a new study. The research provides the first clear evidence of how aerosols--soot, dust and other particulates in the atmosphere--may affect weather and climate. The findings have important implications for the availability, management and use of water resources in regions across the United States and around the world.
"Using a 10-year dataset of atmospheric measurements, we have uncovered the long-term, net impact of aerosols on cloud height and thickness and the resulting changes in precipitation frequency and intensity," says Zhanqing Li, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Maryland and lead author of a paper reporting the results. The paper was published in the journal Nature Geoscience.
"Aerosols' effects on cloud and precipitation development are key questions for scientific community," says Chungu Lu, program director in the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, which funded the research. "The question is not only important for our understanding of the effects of natural processes and human activities on climate change, but for addressing issues in air pollution, disaster relief, water resource management and human weather modification." In addition to the scope and timeframe of the research team's observations, the scientists matched their findings with results from a cloud-resolving computer model.
"Understanding interactions among clouds, aerosols and precipitation is one of the grand challenges for climate research in the decade ahead," says Tony Busalacchi, a scientist at the University of Maryland and chair of the Joint Scientific Committee of the World Climate Research Program. "Findings from this study are a significant advance in our understanding of such processes, with implications for both climate science and sustainable development," says Busalacchi.
"We have known for a long time that aerosols impact both the heating and phase changes [such as condensing and freezing] of clouds, and that they can either inhibit or intensify clouds and precipitation," says Russell Dickerson, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Maryland. "What we have not been able to determine until now is the net effect," says Dickerson. "This study shows that fine particulate matter, mostly from air pollution, impedes gentle rains while exacerbating severe storms. It adds urgency to the need to control sulfur, nitrogen and hydrocarbon emissions."
According to Steve Ghan of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, "This work confirms what previous cloud modeling studies had suggested: that although clouds are influenced by many factors, increasing aerosols enhances the variability of precipitation, suppressing it when precipitation is light and intensifying it when it is strong. "This complex influence is completely missing from climate models, casting doubt on their ability to simulate the response of precipitation to changes in aerosol pollution."

Click for Larger Image. Aerosols are tiny solid particles or liquid particles suspended in air. They include soot, dust and sulfate particles and are what we commonly think of when we talk about air pollution. Aerosols come, for example, from the combustion of fossil fuels, from industrial and agricultural processes and from the accidental or deliberate burning of fields and forests. They can be hazardous to human health and the environment.
Aerosol particles also affect the Earth's surface temperature by reflecting light back into space. The variable cooling and heating that results is, in part, how aerosols modify the stability that dictates atmospheric vertical motion and cloud formation. Aerosols also affect cloud microphysics because they serve as nuclei around which water droplets or ice particles form. Both processes can affect cloud properties and rainfall. Different processes may work in harmony or offset each other, leading to complex yet inconclusive interpretations, scientists say, of their long-term net effect.
Researchers agree that greenhouse gases and aerosol particles are two major agents dictating climate change. The mechanisms of climate warming effects of increased greenhouse gases are clear: they trap solar energy absorbed at the Earth's surface and prevent it from being radiated as heat back into space. The climate effects of increased aerosols are much less certain.
"This study demonstrates the importance and value of keeping a long record of continuous and comprehensive measurements to identify and quantify the important roles of aerosols in climate processes," says Steve Schwartz, a scientist at Brookhaven National Laboratory. "While the mechanisms for some of these effects remain uncertain, the well-defined relationships discovered demonstrate their significance," says Schwartz. "Controlling for these processes in models remains a future challenge, but this study clearly points to important directions."
"The findings from ground measurements of long-term effects are consistent with the global effects revealed from satellite measurements reported in our separate study," says Li. "They attest to the needs of tackling the climate and environmental changes that matter so much to our daily lives."

A physical is a medical procedure that analyzes a person's health.
Physicals may be ordered at the discretion of the chief medical officer whenever necessary, including of the captain. Aside from ordered physicals starships also have regular physicals to monitor the regular health of the crew. In the 23rd century these physicals were done quarterly, but by the 24th century they were only performed annually. (TOS: "The Corbomite Maneuver"; TNG: "Allegiance")
According to Starfleet protocols, physicals are mandatory following away missions that last more than two weeks. (VOY: "Memorial")
Doctor Leonard McCoy conducted a quarterly physical on Captain James T. Kirk in 2266, just prior to the Enterprise's encounter with the Fesarius. (TOS: "The Corbomite Maneuver")
In 2267, aboard the Enterprise, Doctor McCoy had Nurse Chapel conduct a complete physical on Ensign Chekov. (TOS: "The Deadly Years")
During the 23rd century, doctors on Federation starships had the duty of performing quarterly physicals on each member of the crew. (TAS: "Yesteryear")
A perfect replica of Captain Jean-Luc Picard came in a month early for his physical in 2366. (TNG: "Allegiance")
Doctor Julian Bashir gave Miles O'Brien an extremely thorough physical when O'Brien was suspected of being a replicant. (DS9: "Whispers")
In 2373, Bashir conducted a complete physical of Benjamin Sisko under orders of Admiral Charles Whatley. (DS9: "Rapture")
In 2375, The Doctor added deep-body scanning with his holographic imager as part of annual physicals on-board USS Voyager, allowing him to create images of his patients down to the subatomic level. Captain Kathryn Janeway, however, did not report for her physical, "as usual," forcing him to track her down in her ready room to administer her physical, with a request to drop by Sickbay at her earliest convenience to undergo the deep-body scan. (VOY: "Latent Image")

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A 41-year-old woman claims she was raped at an Augusta hospital last month.
The woman, who works part time at the Gracewood campus, says she was working at the time of the sexual assault on Dec. 15. She did not notify the Georgia Bureau of Investigation until last week.
The victim was able to identify her accused attacker, who is also an employee at the hospital.
No charges have been filed at this time.

Event Details
Come out for a wonderful evening and
Help Support the local Tour of Selected Scenes of Romeo & Juliet
Your $35 admission to the special preview night of "Romeo and Juliet" includes:
* Light refreshment to please your palate
* Fruit of the vine to quench your thirst
* A stirring performance by this year's company
* Our heartfelt appreciation for your support
The cost of bringing this production to our schools is $650 per location, which is significantly lower than other touring companies have been charging our district schools. Our goal is to bring this program free of charge directly to our students.
Why Keep Romeo & Juliet Alive?
While studying the play may instruct students to the language, poetry and structure of the play, Shakespeare wrote his plays to be performed and watched. Only when his plays are performed, does the language come alive, and those lessons resonate with the students.
While many believe the play to be a romantic story, the true lessons of the play are in the tragedy of the story. The impetuous behavior of teenagers , making choices without considering the consequences, might have been pulled from today's headlines or an entertainment newscast. This timelessness is what connects with young audiences.

This is the second time I have ordered your cards. The first time I got my name in green with the boxed window. The font I chose then is no longer available. I loved those cards! This time I chose to get my name in the blue option, because it look like a nice sapphire blue. The fonts weren't as great this time, but I picked the one that seemed best. The cards came with my name in a blue/black that was barely different from the black of the boxed window. The first cards I ordered looked like they were custom made and not from a print shop -- they had a great look. These cards don't have that same look.

Professional personal stationery for brief communication
By TXlawyer
from NTexas
Began using these cards about 20 years ago, not as business cards, but as a means of personally communicating with colleagues, clients, friends, family and acquaintances for reasons ranging from professional to casual. I recommend ordering envelopes from Levenger that are especially fabricated for these note cards. Many who have received communications from me on my personalized cards compliment the cards' utility and simplicity. A significant number have asked me the identity of the source for them. And I receive a surprising number of communications on personalized Levenger note cards from many!

Awesome way to personalize your thoughts and reminders!
By PaperGirl
from Maine
I use these wonderful cards day in, day out for reminders of things to do, writing down thoughts and ideas while out and about so I don't lose a single word. They are a great way to keep in touch with the written word in a world that never slows down and seems to have forgotten pen, paper and thoughtful writings. Cannot imagine a day without these amazing cards at hand! Love the new choices of ink colors now available.

The cards are great! My boss has been using them in his medical clinic for years and would be lost without them!
Boss's Day Hit
By Becky
from Baton Rouge
My coworkers and I bought these for our boss on Boss's Day. He has a pocket briefcase, but had run out of cards. He was excited to receive these and loves the quality. We had them personalized with his initials. I found the price much more reasonable than similar cards from other companies, and the box they are stored in is great, as well.
Professional and Functional
By STLLawyer

These cards are perfect to make notes to give to clients or colleagues. If you need to write something down for them to remember, there is no better way to leave a good impression.

The Gemäldegalerie boasts one of the world's most important collections of European painting ranging from the 13th to 18th century. Masterpieces from all epochs in the history of art are on permanent display here, including paintings by Jan van Eyck, Pieter Bruegel, Albrecht Dürer, Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio, Peter Paul Rubens, Rembrandt, and Jan Vermeer van Delft. The gallery is especially proud of its strong collection of German and Italian painting from the 13th to 16th century and painting from the Low Countries dating from the 15th to 17th century.
The paintings in the collection have been on show in their present home at the Kulturforum since 1998. The design proposals for the Gemäldegalerie's new building were submitted in an architectural competition in 1986, with the contract awarded to the architects Hilmer & Sattler the following year. With distinctly Prussian austerity of expression, the simple building rises above the sloping piazzetta, while inside its individual galleries are grouped around a light-filled central hall. After the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent remerger of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin in 1991, the Gemäldegalerie was expanded with the addition of a study gallery.
In its sense of architectural restraint, the simple designs of the façade are deliberately reminiscent of Karl Friedrich Schinkel's Altes Museum. And in keeping with this, the individual galleries within demonstrate a classical sense of proportion. From the large central hall, conceived as a place of quiet reflection with indoor fountains designed by Walter De Maria, visitors can weave their way through the galleries at leisure, dipping in and out on their personal tour through the collection.

Recent Harbor Springs Reviews
A great summer retreat!
Four of us decided to leave the TX heat behind, and spend the month of August in MI. We're seniors and golfers (of sorts) and were interested in cooler temps, pretty scenery and comfortable places to read on our Kindles when we weren't out sightseeing. The Trillium cottage fit the bill! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, (although we didn't put it to much of a test), and the weather was cooperative. We only had the AC on three days! Our favorite golf course was little Traverse Bay, a hilly course with lots of hills and views of the bay, and about 3 miles away. We are nine-hole players, and we found that nearly all of the courses had a twi-light nine-hole rate, including most of the Boyne courses. We played two of the Boyne courses next door to the cottage, and enjoyed them very much. We also played Crooked Tree which is hilly and pretty. The nine-hole rates aren't published, so you have to call the 800 central golf res number and they'll put you through to the pro shop. Favorite restaurants included Douglas Lake Bar and Grill, Little Traverse Bay Country Club, The Palette and Twisted Olive Cafe which are next door to one another in Petoskey, and Kilborn's Fish Restaurant outside of Harbor Springs. Be sure to have an olive burger someplace...they brought back fond memories of my teen years in Michigan! Be sure to take the Kilwin's Chocolate Factory tour in Petoskey, and whatever you do, DO NOT FAIL to try their salted caramel ice cream...to die for. The owners were very easy to deal with. The house is in good shape and well cared for. It was a great month!
