It's not too often that LSU goes head to head with Oregon over a recruit. It becomes especially interesting when the recruit in question is from North Carolina. A Class of 2011 prospect is listing those schools from seemingly different worlds at the top of his list.Both the Tigers and Ducks have spent a lot of time recruiting in the Tar Heel State over the past couple of years, with Oregon having a little bit more success. LSU has had success in that region, landing Sam Montgomery from South Carolina in the Class of 2009 and Justin Hunter from Virginia's Class of 2010.Oregon has already secured commitments from four-star linebacker Chris McCain and three-star defensive back James Scales, both from North Carolina's Class of 2010. The state has always had a lot of talent, and it has sent a lot of that talent to out of state schools in recent years.Florida had success recruiting in the state, landing talents such as Chris Leak, Carl Johnson, Brandon Spikes, and most recently Xavier Nixon. Georgia has also had success in the state, landing studs such as Mario Raley, Dannell Ellerbe, Mohamed Massaquoi and Trinton Sturdivant, among others. More recently, Alabama has made the state a high priority as well.For whatever reason, the in-state football programs have been inconsistent in their recruitment of in-state prospects. Under Chuck Amato, NC State focused their recruiting energies on the state of Florida. Second-year coach Tom O'Brien has placed a renewed focus on the state. North Carolina had some success recruiting in-state prospects with John Bunting from 2001-2006, but that didn't translate into on-field success. His successor, Butch Davis, dominated the in-state scene in the Class of 2009, landing seven of the top nine prospects from the state, but this year they've shifted their focus to prospects from other states.All of that might help explain why programs such as LSU and Oregon are feasting their eyes on the mid-Atlantic state. It also helps that those in-state programs have struggled to get things moving in the right direction for sustained periods of time.In this case, Class of 2011 wide receiver Nigel King is the prospect those coaches have in mind. The 6-foot-3, 182-pound prospect from Raleigh (N.C.) Wakefield is hoping to play his college ball out of state, as he told TigerBait.com, and that could be good news for LSU."Ever since I got my offer from LSU I've been trying to watch all of their games," he said. "I didn't get to watch the Florida game because I went to the NC State game instead, but I've been watching them. I like their offense and think I'd be a good fit."King holds offers from LSU, Maryland and Louisville, and he said he has a "high" level of interest in LSU and Oregon. He is also interested in Alabama, Florida and Tennessee."I'm not sure, but my coach sent some highlight film out recently and I think LSU was one of the schools they sent it to," King continued. "I'm planning on taking a trip down there, either over Thanksgiving or Christmas. I'm not really trying to go to a game. I really just want to go and check out the facilities and meet the coaches."In spite of the offer, King said he has not had a chance to speak to the coaches from LSU yet. ...More...

Why Westminster California
Dear Prospective Students,
I am pleased that you are considering graduate theological studies and hope to provide you with any information that you may need to determine if Westminster Seminary California is the best place for you. Whether you are just beginning your seminary search or ready to make a decision, one of the most important questions you can ask of any seminary is "what sets your school apart"? I frequently have an opportunity to answer this question during my interaction with prospective students and I tell them what is most important to know about WSC is that we are committed as an institution to providing a quality education that is: Confessional, Rigorous, and Personal.
First and foremost, Westminster Seminary California is committed to the Gospel of Christ as taught by the inerrant Scriptures and as summarized in our Reformed confessions of faith. Our faculty subscribe the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Three Forms of Unity and thus are remarkably unified in their understanding of Scripture. While all of our faculty members are firmly committed to the Reformed faith and practice, our students come from a variety of geographical and ecclesiastical backgrounds. The unity of our faculty and diversity of our student body ensures an atmosphere of challenging and stimulating discussions about theology and ministry.
The heart of the WSC educational experience is our outstanding faculty. We believe that those best suited to prepare pastors for the next generation are pastors themselves, which is why our full-time faculty is made up of pastor-scholars--ordained ministers who are actively serving the church and who are also experts in their academic disciplines who are respected for their research and writing. Our rigorous theological education centers on the study of the Scriptures in their original languages, Hebrew and Greek, within the context of our confessional Protestant faith and in conversation with the catholic (i.e. universal) Christian tradition. Though we must always be careful to balance sound academics with a love and passion for Christ, His Gospel, and His Church, there is no replacement for a solid theological education.
Ministry happens face to face and we believe the best theological education does as well. We are committed to providing a traditional learning environment with quality faculty and academic resources. We value a community that fosters regular interaction between students and faculty. Our graduates regularly tell us that some of the most formative moments in their seminary experience were those spent in discussion with their fellow students. Because of our commitment to small class sizes (we currently have a 1:12 faculty-to-student ratio) students not only receive the best in graduate theological education from our faculty, but also develop formative relationships with them and receive valuable insights into the joys and struggles of ministry.
Our theology and mode of education are not innovative. These can be traced throughout our tradition from Calvin's Geneva, to the Old Princeton Seminary and the founding of Westminster Seminary by J. Gresham Machen in 1929. It is to this mission that Westminster Seminary California has been committed for the past 30 years as we work to train the next generation of pastors, missionaries, and scholars to lead the Reformed church.
These web pages are here to answer any questions you may have as we provide a window into which you can see who we are and what we believe graduate theological education should look like. However, it is also important for you to experience firsthand what Westminster Seminary California has to offer. We invite you to come to our campus for a visit to connect with our faculty, students and staff. You can also get acquainted with our faculty and the theology they confess by downloading interviews with them, their articles, sermons and lectures at the Resource Center. Please contact me if I can help in any way.
Blessings to you as you consider your seminary options.

Here in Maine, legislators and activists on all sides of the gun control debate are also gearing up for what is likely to be an active and ongoing conversation on the state level.
Not quite a month has passed since the shootings in Newtown, and the Maine legislature is only few days into the new session. But Republican State Representative James Gillway, of Searsport, said it's clear that the tragedy in Connecticut will be coming up at the Statehouse.
Gillway: "We were told yesterday that there's upwards of 60 bills being presented, all on some form of gun control. Or related to it."
No matter how many bills are submitted, gun violence is shaping up to be a significant part of the conversation this session. Democratic State Representative Jeffrey McCabe, of Skowhegan, said the specific bills he's aware of at this point encompass a range of issues.
McCabe: "Anything from restrictions on firearms as far as ownership, to an improvement in the background check process, to school safety and other issues around that. And a real hard look at how people obtain guns as well."
Conversations about gun control are not new in Maine. But historically, getting any sort of gun legislation passed in the state has proven a difficult proposition - regardless of which party is in control at the Statehouse.
But George Smith, an outdoor writer and former executive director of the Sportsman's Alliance of Maine, said the events in Newtown have changed the landscape. Even in a state where a lot of people own guns, and there is relatively little violence.
Smith: "This time, I think all of us who are gun owners and advocates have to be willing to discuss all of the subjects. Take nothing off the table. Let's look at everything. And I'm certainly willing to do that. I think most of the people I've talked to have open minds about all of it."
But Smith said the serious gun issues are most likely to be decided at the federal level.
Smith: "Things like magazine limits and any types of bans, background checks. We may have similar bills in Maine, but we can't really do this ourselves as a state."
A number of states and towns are moving forward with different kinds of legislation. New York is one. Governor Andrew Cuomo used his State of the State address to call for a ban on so-called assault weapons and large-capacity magazines, and other measures to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill. New York lawmakers may vote on a package of legislation as soon as next week.
Next month in Maine, several police chiefs from around the state will be getting together to discuss gun control and gun rights. One of the primary issues on the agenda will be the state's open carry law. As the law currently stands, it is legal in Maine to openly carry a firearm in a public place. There are certain exceptions to that, open carry is prohibited in places like schools and courthouses. It's a law that Portland Police Chief Michael Sauschuck (sauce-chuck) said has been problematic for police for years.
Sauschuck: "Exactly 10 days after the Newtown, Connecticut tragedy, a Portland resident is walking through the streets in broad daylight with an assault weapon. And was out on the streets for a stroll for approximately 3 hours. And we had a minimum of 65 calls from citizens who were concerned. Terrified, quite frankly, not really sure what's going on."
Under existing open carry law the resident was within his rights. While there is not currently any proposal from the chiefs, or anyone else, to limit the open carry law, Sauschuck said it will be a piece of the conversation.

'Bicycles are pedal-driven two-wheeled vehicles that appear in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Grand Theft Auto V'. Bunny hops can be performed on a bicycle. The player can fall off a bicycle if the player collides with enough force.
GTA San Andreas introduced the pedal bicycle to the Grand Theft Auto series. The player can increase Carl Johnson's cycling skill through long rides on bicycles or on the stationary bike at the Gyms. The higher the skill, the less chance Carl will fall off the bicycle, the higher he can bunny-hop, and the more responsive the bicycle is. When pedaling on a bike, when you perform a wheelie, you can reach a higher top speed. Bicycles are known to be completely indestructible. RPGs, grenades, molotovs, and vehicular explosions do not harm the bike in any way. Although, if any of these happen while the player is riding a bicycle, he will die.

TL;DR - The current image color of the Santa Cruz espresso on the site does not match the product (Dec 16, 2015). If this gets fixed, feel free to remove this review.
My first experience with Crocs was awesome. Picked up some black Athen flip flips and a pair of dark charcoal Santa Cruz. These lasted me for years and were the best investments in shoes I've ever made.
When it came to replace them I looked online and popped the black Athen's into my cart and then headed to the Santa Cruz page. The charcoal color wasn't listed but I noticed the "espresso" color they had listed was exactly the same as what I had so I added them to the cart and checked out.
When the package arrived I was so excited to try them out. As I opened the box and pulled out the shoes I became emotionally disorientated from the combination of excitement and anticipation to severe disappointment and disbelief. "This is not what I ordered" I thought staring
I immediately checked to make sure I ordered the right color - yup, it says "espresso". I logged back onto the site and looked at the Santa Cruz espresso shoe - it was exactly like the dark charcoal color of my old pair of Santa Cruz.
"What's going on?!" I thought. The ugly brown doesn't even exit on their website. I was putting together a bunch of screen shots to document and send Crocs to get this fixed. But where was this ugly brown coming from? I clicked the video almost on accident... BOOM! There it is in all its horribly ugly browness.... That is not what I ordered. I ordered the nice dark charcoal color that someone labeled as "espresso".
I'm currently in the process of returning the brown shoes. Please - updated the site images to match product inventory. This will decrease your returns.
Now, if you're read this long then you may be like me who has to read lots of reviews while doing your research for online shopping. I really hate that I have to return these since I had been waiting so long, but that's not the shoes fault.
If you're contemplating getting a pair - do it! Crocs are awesome. I only wish I didn't have to return these.
PS Let me know when you have the beautiful dark charcoal shoes in-stock.

Peruse the reviews and examine the many comments that refer to the durability of the shoe at the big toe. I've purchased this shoe four times, as it's ridiculously comfortable, but I cannot do so anymore. The last Santa Cruz shoes that I purchased didn't last six months. Every single time, I've had one shoe (not both, oddly) wear out at the big toe. If I walked miles per day in them, over the course of several months, I could potentially understand that the shoes might not last. I do not. I typically use the shoes to walk around the house or the yard. I do find it telling that one of the two template "con" choices is "wear out quickly." Crocs apparently knows of the issue, yet seemingly relies upon fools like me to purchase four pairs before they finally learn their lesson. As I stated, the shoe is comfortable, even with the relatively new replacement sole (not as comfortable as the last one, but it lasts and is not as prone to odor. Crocs did a great job with this.) I do not like to simply complain without offering a solution to my complaints. However; the complaint, and its solution, is simple and self-explanatory. I cannot purchase again until I see that they have redesigned this. It really wouldn't take much time, much money, or much thought to do the right thing. I can only expect that it would serve the company well to treat one of its leading brands with the respect it initially built with similar quality and a fair price.

Great shoe, runs smaller than the typical crocs. Very comfortable, even if a bit tight, the canvas stretched enough to accommodate.
Comments about Crocs Men's Santa Cruz:
Actually bought two pair of same kind. Husband did not like the inside being made of rubber as the previous version of the shoe was cloth on bottom. We have returned one of the pairs for refund and only kept the other because they were worn once. Dissappointed the shoe changed design as he has worn them for many years now.

Q:Are the slip resistant solesAsked on 11/3/2015 by Dave

Q:Are they oil resistant? I need some that I can use in the kitchen. If not, what croc shoes are good to work in the kitchenAsked on 9/3/2015 by Chivo from Palestine, Tx
1 answer
A:Because the Santa Cruz is made with canvas uppers, they may not be a great choice for working around oil. The material may stain. Any of our fully molded Croslite options, like many of our clogs, may work better for you in the kitchen. These styles are water resistant and can be washed very easily. In addition, the material will not stain like the canvas.Answered on 9/3/2015 by Helpful Heather from Crocs

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Behind boarded up windows is shattered glass, which is all that is left of the front window display of the Dalton Agency building downtown.
"This is the unfortunate thing of having a business that is in a public setting. Fortunately, the individual -- there were witnesses and the police quickly responded," said Dalton Agency's Dave Josserand.
Sunday morning, police said, 28-year-old Michael Thompson (pictured, below) threw two large rocks straight through the front windows of the building facing Hemming Plaza.
"You know, we've had offices around town in different places and we've had just as many problems, albeit not many, in other places, and we've had here -- and frankly for the last three years that we've been downtown -- we've had very few incidences," said Josserand.
Josserand said the rock throwing suspect didn't try to steal anything from the building but thinks the act is unfortunate.
"I think this is an unfortunate example of just blatant vandalism, but I think this could've happened anywhere else in the city as well," said Josserand.
According to a police report, Thompson was seen "shouting at no one" and was upset at "voices." According to the report, he told police he shattered the windows because "people were asking me why I spent my money." He also said "someone I couldn't see told me to go to the library. They keep provoking me because they don't understand what's going on."
Although it's caused a headache, the Dalton Agency plans to move forward and replace the broken windows and said it's thankful no one was hurt.
Channel 4 reached out to the city about the recent vandalism downtown. No one from the city was available to comment on the incident Monday night.

Some people have some clean up to do after strong thunderstorms rolled through Sunday evening.
The National Weather Service reports that an outbuilding was knocked down near the intersection of Shine Rd. and Cow Branch Rd. in the Fort Run Area near Snow Hill in Greene County. The report said a 50 mph wind gust at 5:45 p.m. was responsible for the damage.
In Pitt County, structural damage was reported to an outbuilding on Worthington-Warren Rd. in the Stokes area. The National Weather Service said a 50 mph wind gust did the damage around 6 p.m.
Also notable from the weather Sunday were the extremely warm temperatures. Greenville tied a record high temperature for January 17, hitting 73 degrees. Goldsboro, Kinston, New Bern, Ahoskie and Jacksonville also reached 73 degrees. Kenansville recorded a high temperature of 75 degrees.
New Bern and Cape Hatteras set new records for rainfall Sunday. The record in New Bern is now 1.1 inches, breaking the old record set in 1994. The new record at Cape Hatteras is 1.5 inches for January 17, breaking the record set in 1985.

I was pursued recently, and quite doggedly, by a heat wave. This experience intrigued me, as my interest in meteorological matters is boundless, but it was also a plain old nuisance.
The latter was due mainly to all the changing of shirts.This weather phenomenon proved to be as persistent and as dedicated as a child who stays always at heel behind an older sibling, in the manner of a perfectly trained bird dog.
Or a patch of beggar's lice.
(I feel compelled to acknowledge the situation's capacity to annoy as well as to amuse.)
My wife Lisa and I, and our 2-year-old daughter, Olivia, went on vacation last week. Ensconced in a plushly suspended, extended wheelbase Ford Expedition, we navigated through a sizable portion of Washington along with — and courtesy of — Lisa's parents.
(They are, besides being generous, possessed of the immense courage required to amass, and not even under duress, several thousand highway miles during the past three summers in the company of Olivia, whose ability to frustrate anybody within earshot has flourished anew with each journey.)
The torrid temperatures, which have been much in the news, paced us all the way, including a pair of crossings of the Cascade Mountains.
We were near the Puget Sound on the day Seattle reached 103, a figure which the Emerald City had not come within three degrees of since some dedicated person started jotting down records there in 1891.
We went east across the mountains that day, by way of the North Cascades Highway. The next day, while the ocean breeze was refreshing, albeit slightly, sweltering Seattle, the heat trudged over the summit just behind us.
When we got to Grand Coulee Dam it was 98.
And that was the coolest day of the next week.
We returned to Baker City on Friday the 31st, and the following day was the hottest of the year here.
So far, anyway.
All of which goes toward explaining why, when the Shrine football game kicked off Saturday, I was sitting in my air-conditioned living room and watching the game on TV rather than from the bleachers at Bulldog Memorial Stadium.
(Bleachers which, I suspect, could have raised blisters if you weren't careful and sat on an unshaded section.)
I'm glad I stayed home (and not just because I'm unsure whether my insurance covers skin grafts).
Had I attended the game in person I would have missed the commercial touting Base Camp Baker, the area's new marketing slogan.
The brief spot includes a series of scenes, none of which lasts more than a couple seconds: a hiker in the Elkhorns, the Geiser Grand Hotel, a rancher on horseback, working cattle with his dog, and several other vignettes.
I paid particular attention to the commercial because it's supposed to entice tourists, and I had just finished a week-long stint as a tourist, doing touristy things such as hiking, staying in motels, and driving right past plainly marked highway exits.
Also we saw many apples.
The theme of the Base Camp Baker commercial seems to me appropriate — it emphasizes the variety of things a visitor can see and do around here.
This approach struck me, though, as quite different from the campaigns that a pair of Washington towns employ.
The towns are Winthrop, which we toured during our trip, and Leavenworth, which we didn't.
In contrast to the smorgasbord concept the Base Camp Baker commercial epitomizes, both Winthrop and Leavenworth emphasize a specific attribute.
Winthrop sells itself as a real Old West town, with board sidewalks and false front buildings. The police chief calls himself marshal. I saw no brass spittoons, but I suspect they were there.
Leavenworth's alter ego, as it were, is a mountain village in the Bavarian Alps.
It's too soon, with Base Camp Baker barely begun, to even guess at which promotional strategy reaps more fruit (although any town in Central Washington has got us beat on apples at least, as I mentioned).
Winthrop, though its population is just 400, seemed to me a pretty bustling place, even on a weekday evening.
But then again I watched Winthrop through the eyes of a tourist, which is an altogether different perspective than I have when I walk Baker City's streets.
I don't habitually count out-of-state license plates on our Main Street, anyway.
I don't believe, in any case, that either Winthrop or Leavenworth can claim any inherent advantage over Baker City as a tourist destination.
All three towns lie in the lee of high mountains. Each can boast of hiking trails and lakes and ski runs which are less than an hour's drive distant.
The comparison that interests me even more, though, is between Winthrop and Sumpter.
Sumpter already celebrates its mining heritage, most notably the hulking, 1,250-ton gold-sifting dredge on its southern edge.
But if the town decided to emulate the more aggressive, citywide approach of Winthrop and Leavenworth, Sumpter could create an atmosphere that's somewhat more authentic than Winthrop's, and vastly more so than the ersatz concoction that is Leavenworth.
Gold miners, suffice it to say, actually lived in Sumpter.
I doubt anyone wore lederhosen in Leavenworth before the early 1960s, when local merchants came up with the Bavarian scheme.
I'm ambivalent about the prospect of Sumpter, or Baker City, mimicking the shameless promotional gimmickry of Winthrop and Leavenworth.
There'd be more hikers in the mountains, for one thing; and while sampling trails in two of Washington's national parks — Mount Rainier and Olympic — I was reminded last week how hectic even a "wilderness" area can become when a map of it gets into too many pamphlets.
On the other hand, Baker County's economy isn't exactly at full employment.
I suppose there are sillier ways to make a buck than paying homage to the past, whether real or contrived.
Although it always tickles me to think about using a romanticized version of the era before refrigeration to open the wallets of people who shudder at the notion of going out into the heat without an iced mocha to take the edge off.

The fast-talking and deplorably rude character from the popular golfing comedy is yours to emulate in the form of the Caddyshack Men's Al Cervik Costume. This order comes with a green polo shirt, a striped rainbow jacket, red slacks with an attached white belt, and a golfing cap. Al was played by Rodney Dangerfield and this character was a crude man who was newly rich and wanted to join a high-class golf club. His presence in the movie makes it one of the funniest around because his low brow humor and rude remarks are so out of place at the club. Before checking out and purchasing this costume, take a look at the accessories page and find an item to complement the order. Fellow fans of the movie will be glad to see such a familiar face around.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - The National Transportation Safety Board on Monday released a second update on its investigation into the Jan. 7 fire aboard a Japan Airlines Boeing 787 at Logan International Airport in Boston.
The lithium-ion battery that powered the auxiliary power unit on the airplane was removed and transported back to the NTSB Materials Laboratory on Jan. 10 where it is being examined by NTSB investigators, who plan to disassemble it this week.
Radiographic examinations of the incident battery and an exemplar battery have been conducted at an independent test facility, and digital radiographs and computed tomography scans generated from the examination enabled the team to document the internal condition of the battery before taking it apart.
Investigators also took possession of burned wire bundles, the APU battery charger, and several memory modules. The maintenance and APU controller memory modules will be downloaded to obtain any available data. Investigators also documented the entire aft electronics bay including the APU battery and the nearby affected structure where components and wire bundles were located.
The airplane's two combined flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder units were transported to NTSB headquarters and have been successfully downloaded. The information is currently being analyzed by the investigative team.
The airport emergency response group documented the airport rescue and firefighting efforts to extinguish the fire, which included interviews with first responders. Fire and rescue personnel were able to contain the fire using a clean agent (Halotron), but they reported experiencing difficulty accessing the battery for removal during extinguishing efforts. All fire and rescue personnel responding to the incident had previously received aircraft familiarization training on the Boeing 787.

Cute name and a good product. The mushrooms are cut thicker and are good for dishes where you want almost a whole mushroom.

yummy shiitake mushrooms, recommended!
Posted by Reviewer1156637 on Sep 28, 2011
I was surprised how few mushrooms were in the package, seemed like only 7 or 8 (maybe 9), fewer than 10. ... The mushrooms were very handy. I made soup when my fridge was nearly empty. ... I used bone broth ice cube, potatoes, onions, garlic, and dried mushrooms. The mushrooms, I chopped finely while dry and added them to the soup hoping they would resuscitate in the liquid soup. Shiitake mushrooms are supposed to have a variety of health benefits that you get even when using the dried mushroom. So, these mushrooms were a convenient shelf-stable food for my pantry.

These came in slices rather than whole, and were easy to use. They seem very high quality. I rehydrated and sauteed them with fresh portabellos, and they made fantastic soup. The medicinal value is supposed to be high but I can't assess that yet.
i am so amazed!

Connecticut: in search of microgrids
Cities and towns explore paths to reliability
Reliability and sustainability—consider them related concepts, as sustainability is reliability over time—get bandied about these days with some frequency.
Like the weather, everybody's talking about it but nobody's doing anything about it. (Work with me here, we both know that's not entirely true.)
While utilities of course constantly explore new means to reliability and sustainability, today they have company. Specifically, cities and towns in Connecticut are actively exploring microgrids and distributed generation. Just as microgrids are sought in developing economies in lieu of a centralized power grid, so microgrids have become the focus of entities—cities, towns, campuses (military, hospital, university)—in the de-evolution of centralized power in developed countries.
These trends pose a challenge to today's electric utility. Should the intelligent utility accommodate the desire of its customers to create self-sustaining units that can reduce demand, but may offer benefits, including that reduced demand? (Can "islanding" of microgrids benefit a local utility? What about a microgrid's ability to deliver power back to the grid in an emergency?) Or should today's utility fight this trend if it cannot control the outcome?
In response to a past column we published on the topic, one reader articulated certain issues.
"Investor-owned utilities will continue to resist microgrids unless they can own them, because to do otherwise is tantamount to allowing unfettered competition, loss of market share and a process of voluntarily shrinking the regulated business," this correspondent wrote. "What are regulators likely to do? Candidates for microgrids may also want to own them because doing so is clearly cost-effective, but allowing unfettered private ownership affects not only the utility, but potentially customers that do not choose the microgrid option."
We've written a few columns on the topic, which may serve as background to today's discussion. See "Grid-tied Microgrids: A Utility's Best Friend?," "Outages Drive Smart Grid, and Muni Legislation," "Solar Forecasting and Microgrids" and "Big Picture Thinking: Lab to Market!"
It's not difficult to imagine Connecticut's interest, following last fall's one-two punches by a tropical storm and a crushing early winter snow, which led to extended outages, egg on the face for local investor-owned utilities, well-publicized finger pointing, investigations by the state attorney general and the resignation of Jeff Butler, former CEO at Connecticut Light & Power.
As a new white paper spells it out, towns and cities in Connecticut are exploring "a desire to supplement the existing utility company grid to increase reliability and also to lower costs and environmental footprints. They envision that local microgrids will be collectively owned and run by energy users in Energy Improvement Districts (EIDs) enabled by state law in 2007 or, alternatively, as Connecticut Electrical Cooperatives enabled in 1971."
On the Massachusetts side of the border, affected by the same weather events last fall, communities are finding their quest for similar control through municipalization considerably more difficult, as enabling legislation continues to be killed off year after year. (See "Lexington, Mass.: Another Muni Candidate.") Of course, the poster child for municipalization is Boulder, Colo., now in a well-publicized struggle with local provider Xcel Energy. (See "Boulder Seeks Divorce From Xcel.")
Exploring the central issues in Connecticut's deliberations means addressing pressing questions in technology, regulation and finance. According to a white paper written by Pareto Energy, a microgrid vendor which facilitated the Connecticut discussion last month, those issues include the following challenges.
- Can distributed energy systems run safely during central power grid outages?
- Can a city-center microgrid safely interconnect with a medium-voltage distribution grid?
- What would an appropriate pilot project or projects to test these issues look like?
- What legal governance model for a microgrid would be optimal? An energy improvement district? A municipal utility? A cooperative?
- Can a microgrid legally distribute power within an existing utility's franchise area?
- How can early stage microgrid designs be funded in a way that attracts project-scale financing?
- What types of projects have the best opportunity to be financed?
To be sure, there are more complex questions, some addressed in the Pareto white paper. I've tried to cite the most broadly pertinent ones. But the bigger questions, particularly for the investor-owned utility industry, revolve around how to deal with these grass-roots efforts. Get out ahead and lead on microgrids, in order to influence the outcome? Work with "break-away" communities to facilitate their chosen solution? Or fight for the status quo? Are there other options?
Readers, what are the upsides and downsides of such initiatives? And what are other issues in technology, regulation and finance not touched upon here?

Connecticut: in search of microgrids
Hindsight is 20 20: Go With Distributed
What should a utility do? Resist their impulse for protectionism and go with the flow, embrace the future of distributed energy, and give the public what it wants - a Plan B for grid delivered energy that is subject to disruption. In the near term, more and more building owners and occupants will embrace on-site power solutions when given the opportunity and when the price is right. In time, those technologies will become more feasible as an independent system (a microgrid).
Radical thoughts? Think again. There is no wall a utility can build that is high enough to keep distributed energy technology away from its customers. Utilities should follow the lead of IBM in the early 1980s, and embrace the future by shifting market focus with one eye still keenly on the ball. Faced with the advent of personal computing and on top of the world with its mainframes and minis, IBM gave its name to a PC design and the IBM PC clone was born. IBM stayed in its other businesses, but made a bet on a more distributed future. That company did it once again when it moved into services and away from commodity box business by selling its PC business to Lenovo. What IBM learned was that to survive, a leader needs to adapt, even if that means giving up on a comfortable position in the market.
In some ways, utilities find themselves in a position not unlike the position the railroads were in when automobile companies began to sprout up. On top of the world, they dismissed the horseless carriages as mere toys in comparison to their network of sleek Pullman coaches running on rails that allowed a traveler to go in style from major city to major city, from town to town. But automobiles got better in time, and those railroad coaches were always going to be limited to going where the rails were, just as a utility will always be limited to delivering power over the grid, which is subject to outages. Likewise, landline telephones have given way to cellular mobility, and now, the wonder of smart phones has captured our imagination. Try running an app on a wall kitchen telephone.
Great industries can be disrupted by new technologies, and if utilities can perceive such changes as inevitable, they should run out in front of the parade, or risk getting moved aside by forms of energy technology that are not subject to disruption by storms, squirrels, or terrorists.

It was tore up in parts flooded in others and the flys and mosquitos almost carried me away. The course has huge potential with challenging holes. Should update the markers on each hole a par 6 for hole 9 is silly.

It's the only course around, so that's a big plus! Typical park course, some fun holes but none really tuff. It does need rubber pads repaired or upgraded to cement. If you love to throw, there it is!

- Abstract
- Research shows that voice increases fairness evaluations, and that an evaluators' role and the target's deservingness moderate this effect. However, this effect has not been examined in procedures that are otherwise disrespectful. In a 2 (Voice: Voice, No Voice) x 3 (Role: Suspect, Police, Observer) x 3 (Deservingness: Harmful, Harmless, Innocent) design, we tested whether the voice effect and its moderators generalize to a forceful arrest. Undergraduates (n=57) read about an arrest. Voice enhanced fairness judgments, qualified by role and deservingness, indicating that the voice effect holds in otherwise disrespectful procedures. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed

Awwww... supercute pictures of baby animals!
Riverview, Florida -- Wild boars are on the loose in a Hillsborough County neighborhood, and parents are being warned about sending their kids to the bus stop alone.
The boars have been spotted this past week all throughout Boyette Springs in the Riverview and FishHawk area. That includes in broad daylight near a 7-Eleven store on Fishhawk Boulevard.
"He was standing right there by the mailbox just rooting... he was actually rooting," said Brittaney Peoski, who saw the boar as recently as Sunday in her neighbor's yard and called to warn her neighbor.
The homeowners association issued a warning Monday after a woman said she and her daughter were chased by two of the wild pigs.
That message: parents in Boyette Springs should wait with their kids at the bus stop, since boars are most active at dawn and dusk.
"We make sure all the lights are on everywhere around the house so we can see any little thing that might come along," said resident Eileen Knowles.
Since they're not native Florida animals, Florida Fish and Wildlife typically won't deal with boars. Neighbors say they've hired a private trapper try to get these pigs off their streets.
So what do you do if you come nose to snout with a boar?
Like most wild animals, they are scared of you and want to get away. Make sure you don't come between a mother and her young, and don't corner them.
In just about every case, if you give them the opportunity to get away, they will run off.

The Advanced Video Camera Detector is the first system to detect wireless cameras. Most counter surveillance products scan frequencies 50 MHz to 3 GHz NTSC, but with this device, you can easily tune into NTSC as well as other frequencies such as PAL and SECAM. Using the directional flashing LED lights, you can follow the signal and locate the hidden cameras within seconds.
This exact device was used to uncover hidden cameras in a highly publicized corporate espionage incident in early 2000. A private investigator with a hunch swept an entire office building in downtown Los Angeles and found over 20 hidden cameras throughout the headquarters of a major corporate company. This case of corporate espionage would have never been discovered without the help of the Advanced Video Camera Detector.

Tanzania Social Action Fund (Tasaf) yesterday unveiled its plan to extend the Community-Based Conditional Cash Transfer (CB-CCT) programme to 10 districts as part of efforts to reach more vulnerable households.
Tasaf Monitoring and Evaluation Officer Patricia Matogo said that the ten districts will be covered in Tasaf III, which will begin in July this year, although she could not disclose the districts to be covered, saying that they were still under discussion.
Matogo was speaking in Kibaha at a five-day training for the programme's facilitators as preparations for CB-CCT scale up.
She said the programme had proved successfully in three pilot districts where it was being implemented. The districts are Kibaha, Bagamoyo and Chamwino.
"We have gone through the entire programme and found that it has been successful, although there were challenges which had already been worked out," Matogo said.
Matogo said that Tasaf had received funds from various stakeholders which will enable it to enroll more people into the programme.
"After this training we will go to the three districts to enroll the households which were left out when the programme started in 2008 and thereafter we will go to new villages which were not included in the programme," she added.
She said the main objective of the training was to broaden the understanding of the facilitators on the CB- CCT programme for its effective implementation.
For her part, Kibaha District Council Community Development Officer Grace Msami, when opening the training, said that the government hads decided to scale up the programme following its successful implementation.
She said the big difference in the expansion of the programme was that the enrollment system had been improved to ensure that all targeted people were enrolled.
"The scaling up of the programme is a challenge to us as we are now forced to have ac lear understanding and implementation of the programme," Msami said.
She said according to statistics, a total of 4,998 households with 13, 081 beneficiaries had been registered in the three pilot districts since the programme started in 2008 and a total of 1.5b/- had been disbursed to beneficiaries.
Msami said that Kibaha district alone had received a total of 239m/-.
Last month, Tasaf executive director Ladislaus Mwamanga said that following the successful implementation of the Cash Transfer Programme, 30 per cent of the USD 220 set aside for the third phase implementation of TASAF programmes, has been directed to the cash transfer programme.
He said through the programme poor and vulnerable households were provided with cash, which they used to send their children to health facilities for immunization, financing nutritional and growth monitoring, and sending their children to school.
Mwamanga said under the programme, each household was provided with USD 18, equivalent to 30,600/-, after every two months, adding that so far a total of 1,638 children had benefited from the initiative.
