An 82-year-old Clarksville woman has died after she was involved in a crash earlier this week.
Charlotte Binkley was driving a 1995 Oldsmobile 98 on Tuesday when she drove through a red light at the intersection of Crossland Avenue and Cumberland Drive and collided with a 1999 GMC Sonoma driven by a 45-year-old woman who had the right-of-way, police said.
Both women were transported to Gateway Medical Center for treatment of their injuries, and Binkley was later transferred by a medical helicopter to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Binkley died Thursday at Vanderbilt.

The village recently announced a proposed agreement with to upgrade four existing athletic fields in the village with synthetic turf and create one new one, providing multi-purpose playing fields for soccer, baseball, softball, field hockey and lacrosse.
Under the , three of the four fields (Barasch, Lister and Blighe) on the south side of the village would be fitted with synthetic turf, and all four would be equipped with a sub-surface drainage system that would store rainfall and inhibit runoff into Mill River. Here's what the would look like.
Molloy, village school and club teams would share time on the fields, and Molloy would pay $6 million for the renovation.

LeBron James scored just two points in the opening half Monday yet still had the best night of Miami's Big 3.
On this night, however, that wasn't really saying much.
James led the Heat with 24 points Monday night, but his improved second-half stats belied an uneven performance in which the NBA's Most Valuable Player couldn't save the Heat from losing the opener of the Eastern Conference semifinals 93-86 to the Bulls.
"We didn't make the plays, didn't make the shots," Dwyane Wade said afterward.
Monday night went so badly for James and the Heat that James left the limited edition Nike sneakers he was debuting in the locker room after going 1 for 6 from the floor in the opening half.
For Michael Jordan, it was all about the shoes. Monday was all about the Bulls.
"We have to be better getting into our game," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.
"This will be about who is going to impose their identity on the other team. Chicago imposed their identity in this first game. There is no doubt about that. We did not."
Wade sat out Miami's Game 4 win over Milwaukee in the opening round and led the Heat in the opening half by scoring eight points. Wade ended with 14 as he hit on just 3 of 10 shots in the final 24 minutes.
Chris Bosh had a few big moments but didn't do a whole lot in scoring nine points with six rebounds.
James, honored by commissioner David Stern before the game for winning his second consecutive MVP award, scored seven points in the third and 15 in the fourth.
Yet James didn't score a single point in the final 2:22 as the Bulls were able to slug their way to their second consecutive win. Chicago beat host Brooklyn in Game 7 of that opening series just two nights earlier.
"When you lose you have frustration, especially at home," Wade said. "We had opportunities, we had our chances. You want to defy the odds and not come out sluggish, but we did.
"We pulled away a few times, but this team kept fighting back. If we could take some possessions back, we would. But we can't."
Even more of the spotlight was on James on Monday night. With a new sneaker, ad campaign and fourth MVP trophy in tow, James struggled in the opening half and scored two points with four rebounds.
James came out in the second half wearing a more muted version of his Nike LeBron X's in the Miami Heat color scheme, leaving the kaleidoscope kicks complete with "MVP" on the tongue behind.
With one shot to open the third, James surpassed his entire point total for the first half as he drained a three-pointer to score Miami's first points of the second half.
James scored seven points in the third quarter as he hit three of the four shots he took. James then opened the fourth with a sweet fadeaway jumper to give Miami a six-point lead.
James ended the fourth by missing his final two shots of the night as he closed his scoring by hitting 1 of 2 free throws with 2:22 remaining.
Jimmy Butler played all 48 minutes — most of which was spent guarding James. Butler hit 9 of 10 free throws and ended with 21 points and 14 rebounds.

The New Canon VIXIA HF G10 Flash Memory Camcorder
How much could you reasonably ask for in a camcorder that fits in the palm of your hand? Would it be too much to ask for 32 gigs of internal flash memory, in addition to dual SDXC card slots? How about a color viewfinder and a touch-screen LCD? Top it off with the new low-light-friendly full HD CMOS Pro image sensor and an army of other useful features, and you have the hot new Canon VIXIA HF G10 camcorder.
There are many compact camcorders to choose from on the market, but most of them want for one feature or another that really keeps them from being a well-rounded video solution. The new VIXIA HF G10 was designed to give you every necessary tool to make great videos, backed up with a gorgeous lens and a professional-sized 1/3" image sensor. Canon went the extra mile by empowering the HF G10 with a truly useful dual slot memory card feature, which will likely set a new standard for what video makers consider an essential tool.
The HF G10 allows you to record a whopping 12 hours of full 1920 x 1080 HD video with its built-in memory alone. However, should you fill up all 32 gigs of internal memory in the middle of a shot, the HF G10 will seamlessly switch over to one of its two SD cards slots and continue recording. Try doing that with a video-enabled DSLR camera!
Another amazing feature that the dual slots give you is the ability to record multiple copies of a video as you shoot. Pop in an SD card for Mom and another for Grandma at the beginning of the birthday party, and give them both a card on their way out. The video you shot will format perfectly when played on a widescreen TV. When Mom and Grandma get home, they can just stick their cards into their TV sets and watch them instantly.
The dual SDXC card slots on the VIXIA HF G10 open up a wide range of useful workflows.
You can also transfer video files from the internal flash memory to the SD cards. In some situations, moving the files to an SD card could simplify the process of transferring files to a computer. If you're not going to be around your computer for a while, moving the video files to an SD card will clear up space on the internal drive for new content, and potentially make it easier to transport files.
While the Canon HF G10 is a great camcorder for documenting birthday parties, vacations and corporate events, it also has a wealth of tools for the budding filmmaker and the artistically inclined. It can record video in Native 24p with a 24Mbps bit rate, which gives moving images a dreamy, film-like quality. You can disable the HF G10's intelligent instant autofocus and utilize its manual focus ring to set the mood. The 8-blade iris inside the HF G10 will further enhance your ability to achieve soft, blurred backgrounds. There are even built-in filter effects you can apply to get a more cinematic look.
The HD CMOS Pro image sensor and the DIGIC DV III Image processor will supply you with stunning images, but what about the sound? Camcorders notoriously have really lousy sounding built-in microphones. Canon has addressed this issue with the HF G10 by redesigning the internal stereo microphone. The new microphone offers a much better signal-to-noise ratio than your average built-in camera mic. A 3.5mm stereo microphone input is also included, enabling you to really take your sound quality to new heights by utilizing an external mic. On-screen audio meters and manual adjustment of audio levels make the HF G10 a powerful sound workhorse.
Get great sound with the HF G10's improved built-in mic, external mic input and manual audio controls.
Electronic viewfinders are getting harder to find on cameras. They seem like the first feature a camera manufacturer will leave out in order to keep the cost of a model competitive. The reality is that electronic viewfinders are essential tools. LCD screens are very difficult to see in bright sunlight, and it's hard to keep the camera steady when your arms are outstretched to see the display. Holding a camera up to your eye to peer into a viewfinder will give you more precise control of what's in the frame, and having your head pressed against the camera gives you a steadier shot. That's why the HF G10 has a full color electronic viewfinder, and another reason why it's an awesome little camera.
As nice as the electronic viewfinder is, the LCD screen on the HF G10 is serious video tool as well. Its touch screen enables quick menu navigation and has cool features like touch and track focusing. The display itself is 3.5 inches, and it provides high-resolution (922,000 dot) images.
The HF G10 features Dynamic SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization to keep the image steady when you're walking around and staring at the LCD. When you zoom in close to something utilizing its 10x HD video lens, you can touch the Powered IS button to help to keep vibrations to a minimum.
The included rechargeable lithium-ion battery has a handy feature that will be useful every time the camera is used. The intelligent battery communicates its current power level to the camera, enabling the HF G10 to display the amount of time that you have before the battery dies. The battery-life time is accurate down to the minute.
With all of the hype that has swirled around HD video-enabled DSLRs for the past couple of years, you wouldn't think there was much need for traditional camcorders. But when you consider all of the real-world shortcomings that go hand-in-hand with DSLR video, a camera like the HF G10 starts to make perfect sense. If you add up all of the forward-thinking advancements that are integrated in this camera, you really see what a viable and powerful tool it is.
Thanks for checking out this B&H Insights article! If you have any questions about the new Canon HF G10 camcorder, please post them in the Comments section below.
Note: The HF G10 will be shipping in March, 2011, and will retail for around $1,499.00.

What file format does this shoot? Is it compatible with the latest Avid Media Composer -- ideally, no converting of files necessary before import? Thanks.
I would like to know if I will be able to import my footage to my Mac, Final Cut Pro X editing software? Do I have to convert the file somehow? If so, does the camera do that for me or will I need extra software for importing?
Finally, which long lasting basttery is compatable with my new Vixia HG 10?
Yes, that camera is fully compatible with Apple Final Cut Studio X; you will be able to import it directly without converting the files first.
As for the battery, Canon has an extended live battery available. The BP-827 is 2670mAh, that's about three times the capacity of the standard battery.
Hello, I just bought this camcorder and was wondering what basic write speed SDHC card is what I need as back up? I've was looking at the Sandisk extreme 32gig, and Kingston Ultimate X 32....will either of these be fast enough for filming fast moving wild animals? Thanks for your time.
Hello -
Either card is a fine choice. Look for class 10 speed ratings and lifetime warranties. Delkin Devices makes a fine card as well, and it's made in the USA.
Thinking of purchasing this type of Video Cam, especially the part that 2x SD Card can also be slotted in for extra memory storage.
Just wondering, how long do the battery last? Is there a battery that lasts for more than three hours or more?
Thank you.
Hello -
The included battery will record continuously under average conditions for less than 1 hour. The largest capacity battery available will offer you perhaps 2 to 2.5 hours: Canon BP-827 Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (2670mAh)
When talking about the SD memory card slots, both the B&H and Canon websites only mention SDXC card capacities up to 64GB. Are the two memory card slots on the the Canon Vixia HF G10 able to fully address 128GB SDXC cards?
Hello -
As far as we can determine, Canon has not tested cards higher than 64GB with this camera. We generally recommend using smaller capacity cards as a precautionary measure against card failure or damage. If the footage is stored on smaller cards than it is unlikely to lose your entire shoot in case of a critical failure or corruption of the media. After all, 32 GB offers almost 3 hours of the highest quality HD capture that this camera can shoot. With the two slots loaded with 64GB cards and the 32GB embedded memory - you will have over 14 hours of recording time available.
Is there a particular tripod that you would recommend to use with this camera for filming presentations and interviews, or would any standard tripod work?
Also, since it has a 3.5mm mic input, what kind of a Beachtek box would I need?
We recommend matching your gear so that it all is at the same level of quality. In particular, your tripod should be able to move smoothly so your shots look good and are not ruined by jerkiness. For the G10, I suggest;
Sachtler Ace Fluid Head with 2-Stage Aluminum Tripod & Mid-Level Spreader
Libec LS-38M(2A)N Professional 2-Stage Aluminum Tripod System
Manfrotto 504HD Head w/546B 2-Stage Aluminum Tripod System
I noticed that you show 1920 x 1080 60p for this camcorder though a reviewer on your website said it did only 60i. Did I misunderstand your information?
Also, I have been told that even if it can shoot 1920 x 1080 60p no software (Mac) can handle that video output and it will be down sized. Is that correct and if so what then are the benefits of buying a camcorder with 60p at this time?
Does this camera offer significantly better low light performance than the Canon HF S100?
I use the HF S100 to record dance performances. Some of our instructors do a fair amount of work with dim lighting. The camera struggles with focus and resolution in those circumstances, and in situations where the color of the dancer's costume is close to the cyc color (red on red in particular).
Would the HF G10 be a better fit for this use?
Thank you for your help.
Hello Mike -
The Canon HFG10 uses the more advanced Canon HD CMOS Pro Image Sensor. This 1/3" image sensor boasts excellent low light performance and a wide dynamic range, giving you flexibility unseen in most consumer camcorders - including Canon's own HFS-100. The G10 also boasts professional shooting assist functions to make shooting easier. Custom key and dial, composition aids, and advanced control like manual exposure, aperture priority, and shutter priority. So all told, the HFG10 should produce better color rendition for you in challenging lighting conditions while offering more creative control as well.
I shoot profesional video full time and find that for nice B roll shots and for portability in those run and gun where a camera is considered intrusive, I use the Canon Vixia HF M40 and was considering the HF M50 but now I see this camera and wonder what the advantage of it would be over the HF M50? They look similar in size and functionality and other than the chip size is there something else I am missing for the nearly 2-2.5x price difference?
Hello D. Dimento -
The HF-G10 is worth the extra money for a variety of reasons. Key among them is the lens. It is a more substantial piece of glass that is superior to the optics of the HF-M50 while delivering a wider field of view at the shorter focal length. The VIXIA HF G10 features a Genuine Canon 10x HD Video Lens which offers a 35mm equivalent of 30.4mm - 304mm. It delivers unsurpassed image quality, the versatility of a wide angle of view and smooth and professional looking background images thanks to a sophisticated 8-blade iris. The HF-G10 sports a larger LCD viewer as well at 3.5". The professional touch of a dedicated manual focus ring allows accurate and precise control. Combined with Canon's Exclusive HD CMOS Pro Image Sensor, it captures video with stunning resolution, superb low-light performance, and a wide dynamic range The HF G10 also packs in a number of shooting functions. Among the functions usually found on consumer models, the G10 also boasts professional shooting assist functions to make shooting easier. Custom key and dial, composition aids, and advanced control like manual exposure, aperture priority, and shutter priority, just to name a few. The VIXIA HF G10 features Canon's proprietary Dynamic SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization which provides continuous adjustment throughout the entire zoom range to correct a broad range of motion. Extra compensation is applied at wide-angle focal lengths to eliminate unwanted shaking which is common when walking. Together with the latest development, Powered IS, you'll find an even higher level of compensation for subtle hand movement at the telephoto end of the zoom range. Powered IS can be engaged by pressing or holding the Powered IS button on the Touch Panel LCD.
Bottom line: You may not need the features that the HF-G10 provide for your B-roll footage - but the camera is worth every penny.
1. Would I have to transcode for editing on FCP 6?
2. Can you recommend a directional mic I can attach to this camera? Thanks.
Hello -
The Canon Vixia HFG10 is fully compatible with Apple Final Cut PRO X; you will be able to import it directly without converting the files first. Unfortunately - there is no Apple endorsed solution for FCP 6 as it will not support AVCHD. As for the microphone -
The Rode VideoMic Pro packs the audio quality and features of the popular VideoMic into an ultra compact and lightweight design that's ideal for use with HDSLR cameras, camcorders, and audio recorders. The microphone has a broadcast-quality condenser capsule with a supercardioid pickup pattern to capture audio from the front, while minimizing pickup from the sides and rear. An integrated shockmount and foam windscreen minimize handling and wind noise to keep your recordings crystal clear.
On the rear of the mic, you'll find a 3-way level control that offers -10dB, 0dB, and +20dB modes. There is also a 2-step high pass filter with 0 and 80Hz settings, letting you minimize the impact of low frequency hum, camera motor noise, and similar distractions. The mic has a standard camera shoe and a 3/8" threaded mount for easy attachment to cameras and boom poles. The 3.5mm plug is compatible with a wide variety of different cameras and audio devices. The VideoMic Pro operates for up to 70 hours on a single 9V battery, allowing you to work in the field without constant replacements.
But will the Rode VideoMic Pro mount on the Vixia right out of the box without any modifications?
Hello -
To mount the Rode VideoMic Pro directly to the camera requires the Pearstone CSA-II Shoe Adapter for Canon Camcorders which is designed for all Canon Camcorders with a Mini Advanced Accessory Shoe.
The Canon DM-100 Directional Stereo Microphone delivers high-quality stereo audio recordings to various Vixia-series camcorders. This microphone attaches to the HFG10's advanced accessory shoe for cable-free installation. Using the DM100 is the most streamlined solution - no adapters and no cables.
First and foremost i'm impressed by the quality of your comments and reviews!Thank you for doing it on such a pro level.
I'm working as a post production compositor and as such i'm used to working on dpx and other nice file formats.I know i can't achieve this much info into my scenes with this camera but i think it's a pretty decent one for short movies and music clips.My question is since it doesn't have the 4:2:2 algorithm for capturing the colors will i be able to pull a desent key from a blue screen(considering it's properly lit)?I can't seen to be able to find a sample of such shot from this camera in the web.
My other question is does this lens make fine DOF?I'm pretty sure it's good enough but would really appresiate your opinion.
The last thing i'm interested is will i be able to drop my footage directly into Nuke or Fusion for post processing or conversion will be needed?From the Canon 60D it imports directly but not sure for this one.
Thanx in advance for your answers and all your efforts.
Hello -
The HF G10 offers depth of field that is pretty good and should be acceptable for your basic applications - but do not expect the same kind of dramatic shallow DOF that many DSLR lenses can deliver. This camera will deliver excellent chroma-key results as well - but sending the uncompressed live feed (HDMI) to an ATOMOS Ninja2 Video Recorder will offer you the 4:2:2 colorspace and the ProRes format that you can drag and drop into NUKE and FUSION.
This camera does not apply filters in the 24Mbps shooting mode.
Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: email@example.com
Hi there,
first of all,thank you for your professional work and nice reviews!
Keep up the good work.
I would like to ask a few questions about this camera since this seems to be my choice.
I work as a visual effects compositor and i'm used to work on nice formats like dpx files ant etc.I know i can't get such quality from this cam but i want to know if i could pull a decent key from a blue screen since this camera doesn't support the 4:2:2 algorithm.As far as i know this Canon is 4:2:0.
Does it make a nice(sufficient) DOF?
About the file format,i have worked with some footages out of Canon 60D and there is no problem importing them directly into Nuke or Fusion software.I want to know what is the procedure with this nice
One other thing is,does it support 24P without having to be in some sort of filter(sepia,B/W) mode,but instead just select 24p as a frame rate to shoot with?I'm talking about the NTSC(Vixia) version here.
Thank you in advance for your answers and once more-keep the high level of your that you are doing for all of us.

Great review thanks. So question, is it "12" hours of HD on the internal flash 32 gb or "3" hours ?
It starts out saying: "The HF G10 allows you to record a whopping 12 hours of full 1920 x 1080 HD video with its built-in memory alone."
Then in the comments section you mention "almost 3 Hours of high quality on the 32 gb flash memory"
What am I missing?
- Uri
Hello Uri -
The Canon VIXIA HF G10 allows you to record up to 12 hours of clear high definition video to a 32GB internal flash drive or to two SDXC-compatible memory card slots while recording in "LP" mode.
See page 32 of the Canon Owner's Manual:
Recording Time Internal Flash Memory
32GB: LP: 12 hours, 15 minutes; SP: 9 hours, 35 minutes; FXP: 4 hours, 10 minutes; MXP: 2 hours, 55 minutes
2GB: LP: 45 minutes; SP: 35 minutes; FXP: 15 minutes; MXP: 10 minutes
4GB: LP: 1 hour, 30 minutes; SP: 1 hour, 10 minutes; FXP: 30 minutes; MXP: 20 minutes
8GB: LP: 3 hours; SP: 2 hours, 20 minutes; FXP: 1 hour; MXP: 40 minutes
16GB: LP: 6 hours, 5 minutes; SP: 4 hours, 45 minutes; FXP: 2 hours, 5 minutes; MXP: 1 hour, 25 minutes
Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks so much for the review - extremely helpful.
One question for you- how do you record to the memory cards. For some reason, i can't find the [Rec Media for Movies] selection. I can only find the [Rec Media for Photos].
Which memory card are you trying to use in the camera?
Brand, class rating and speed?
That card should work fine in the camera for recording video. Have you formatted the card in the camera itself in order to build the correct file structure?
You can find instreuctions to initialize the card on page 36 of the manual.
It is in the camera menu under:
(function) -> (menu) -> (wrench icon) -> (initialize)
Keep in mind this will erase anything that is recorded on the card so back-up anything prior.
I'm having the same problem with my G10. Using Transcend SDHC class 10 32gb card, which seems to be recognized by the camera, but the "REC MEDIA FOR VIDEO" option is missing from the menu. I already initialized it using the camera, and that didn't work. Any suggestions?
I've been having the same problem with my VIXIA HFM31. It doesn't matter what I do, it never shows the "record media for video" menu option. I've tried both class 6 and class 10 Sandisk (Sandisk works according to the manual.) Nothing. That menu option just doesn't exist. I'm kind of irked about it.
Push the mode switch from "AUTO" to "M." That will allow to you in the menu to select "REC MEDIA FOR VIDEO"
Im haveing a hard time transfering the video from the camera to the memory card. CAN I RECORD VIDEO STREIGHT TO CARD - help.
You can set the camera to record straight to the card:
1: Put the memory card into the card slot.
2: Open the [Rec Media for Movies] screen.
[FUNC.] -> [MENU] -> [Rec Media for Movies] or [Rec Media for Photos]
3: Touch the (built-in memory icon) cnoose the (memory card icon) and select it.
These instructions can also be found on page 34 on the cameras manual.

The Real Jimmie Foxx
This article was published in the 2013 The National Pastime.
"You just can't imagine how far he could hit a baseball." Ted Williams spoke those words to me in a 1986 interview in Winter Haven, Florida. He was talking about his former friend and teammate, Jimmie Foxx. Ted's reflection created an unforgettable image. Yet, it wasn't what Williams said that made it so. It was how he said it…almost like a prayer whispered in a church. Teddy Ballgame was a grounded man, not given to hyperbole or casual sentimentality. But on the topic of Jimmie Foxx, he was like . . .

Gigabyte Force M7 THOR game mouse review -
So then, we test and review the Gigabyte Force M7 THOR Gaming Mouse. We mentioned in our mouse reviews many times now, it is a very crowded place to be in the PC gaming hardware arena, especially when it comes to keyboards and mice. Whether you have 5 bucks to spend or 100 EUR, there WILL be a product matching that budget. Simple mice, small mice, mice dedicated to games, mice with multiple scanning lasers, mice with adjustable weight systems, and on and on.
A year or two maybe three ago Gigabyte launched their Keyboard and mouse series of products onto the market as well, and ever since delivers some of the hottest amongst them to you, the end user.
Their Aivia products are aimed at the gamers and more-overly are segmented in mice and keyboards for an enthusiast grade of end user. This review will come from Gigabyte's Force lineup. The more simple and affordable products. The Gigabyte Force M7 THOR Gaming Mouse as such Is a stylish 6000 DPI mouse that comes with a professional-grade laser sensor offers lightning fast 12,000 FPS image processing capability.
We stated it already, these are the more affordable budget mouses and as such a lot has been stripped away, no braided cables, no macro programmable profiles, no weight system. However the FORCE M7 THOR mouse does come in a ergonomic design, has great looks and DPI programmability.
But please a peek at the product and then let's head onwards into the review, will the 29.99 EUR price tag be worth it with regards to features and functionality? Let's find out.

Lovely situated house and accessibility to the water, town and the mount. Friendly hosts. Thank you
We happily stayed at Raechel and Greg's Tauranga home on the north island in New Zealand March 17 to April 2, 2014. What a find! The pictures on the Airbnb website when we first booked looked good enough but still didn't do it justice. The writeup is very accurate. Now (April 22, 2014) I see on the website that there are more pictures and these do a better job, especially to feature the sunsets - which we watched every evening from the upper deck. Fun to watch the kite-surfers from the breakfast table too! Inside was very clean and well equipped. We managed to get in a dinner visit with Raechel and Greg in Auckland before we left N.Z. You could not find nicer hosts - salts of the earth!
The reservation was canceled 16 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Beautful house right on the water in Matua. The house is even better than pictured in the photos and waking up to look out over the water is a big plus.
We loved our stay and the host was great to deal with.
I highly recommend staying here, and we will look to come back again in the future.
Indeed a very pleasant stay at Raechel's house. I will certainly give her property and her cares thumbs up. Very comfortable house and of course a very caring and friendly host. Thank you Rachel and we will be back.

For many in Northern and Central Alabama, the cleanup process is just beginning.
Volunteers from across the country, including several groups from right here in the mountains, are pitching in to help those who lost everything from the deadly tornadoes of April 27th.
"Brother Chad Brock came to me and said let's take some water, I said let's load it up and go." Pastor Danny McCreary from the Verda First Baptist Church said.
Starting Monday on Mountain News at 6, we begin a special three part series from Alabama on local folks helping out our neighbors to the south.
You will hear from two groups of volunteers from the mountains and a meteorologist from Birmingham who was on the air when the storms formed.
We hope you will tune in at 6.

2013-14 Competition Schedule:
Curling was a huge focus for me during my teens and into my very early twenties. I went many years without being able to commit myself to the sport. Career and location got in the way.
After moving back to the East Coast in 2006, I had time to get involved in the sport again and commit the necessary time to practice and travel. I've also served as the president of my club in New Jersey (the Plainfield Curling Club in South Plainfield, NJ) for the past two years and I hope to eventually help introduce more curling facilities to my home state.
I have also written a book with 2010 Olympic Gold Medalist, John Morris of Canada, called Fit to Curl: A Sport-Specific Guide to Training for the World's Greatest Game. As a result of my friendship with John and our work on the book, I have committed to a fitness program that has made a huge difference — I don't think I would be playing front end without it.
Finally, I host a podcast called The Curling Show (http://www.thecurlingshow.com/). I interview, "…the sport's top athletes and the people who shape the game." I usually record and post 2-3 interviews each month and feel very fortunate to have been able to enjoy regular conversations with the best players in our game.
Being away from the game for a number of years has only reinforced for me that our sport is truly special. The people, the beautiful physics of it, the sportsmanship — it's remarkable. I remain convinced that nearly all of the world's intractable problems could be solved if more people curled regularly. I'm now looking forward to watching my seven-year-old daughter develop her game.
Who/What introduced you to Curling?
Parents. They are both committed curlers and very active in club development.
Who was your favourite athlete growing up?
Bobby Orr. Then, once I started curling, John Kawaja.
What other sports do you play?
Golf, ice hockey, wakeboarding.
Do you have any pregame rituals or superstitions?
I try to avoid them since they're a hassle. I might stick with the same socks from time to time.
What is your career highlight to date?
Playing in a Brier when I was 20. And the first part of the week at last year's US Nationals.
What is one shot you would like to try one more time?
I'm a lead. We throw the same shots so often that I can't imagine getting too excited about throwing one of them again.
Do you have any hidden talents? Something unique about yourself?
I tend to spend more time trying to hide my lack of talent.
What is the best advice you've ever received?
Legendary ice technician Shorty Jenkins once told me about the moment when he realized that his future was going to be making ice and tending to golf greens. He said he decided that, "If this was what I was going to be doing for the rest of my life, I may as well try to be the very best at it." It's a good way to approach whatever you're doing.
What is your favourite sport other then curling?
What is one thing you'd like to do before you die?
Be the curling professional at a new facility in northern New Jersey.
What sporting event would you most like to attend?
World Curling Championship. On the ice instead of the media bench.
What do you wish you were better at?
Too much to list.
Person dead or alive you would most like to have dinner with?
Dick Cavett or Jon Stewart
Favourite Bands/Music? Television Shows?
Neil Young, Ray LaMontagne, The Office when I have to check the DVR.
What is your favourite Movie(s)?
Fargo. (Hah!)
Who was most influential in your curling development?
Parents and Dennis O'Conner, a high school physical education teacher who was my junior coach.
What is your most embarrassing moment on the curling ice?
In our first game at the US Nationals last year, my team practiced with the wrong color. Then when I went to throw the right color to start the game, there was much discussion and arguing about it. I guess it must have thrown Todd Birr's team because we wound up winning the game.
Where would you like to spend a week's vacation?
At a villa in Tuscany .
What is your earliest curling memory?
Inhaling the remarkable amounts of smoke in the lounge at the club. It was the '70s.
What kind of Training Regimen do you follow?
Tour Level in Fit to Curl.
Any nicknames?
None I'll list.
Curling Strengths? Weaknesses?
Few. Many.
What kind of goals have you set for yourself?
Top-secret ones.
Do others in your family curl?
My daughter, Mackenzie, already has a better delivery than me. Not that it's too difficult to achieve that but she's solid.
What do you enjoy most about curling?
Competing, the company of my teammates and getting to know opponents.
What is your Education background?
Bachelor of Arts, Political Science and History, McGill University. Which led, of course, directly to an advertising career.
Other Olympic sport you'd like to try?
I think they need to try ours. The Olympics without curling and ice hockey would bore me to tears.
Most memorable curling experience?
Winning the 2012 USA Men's Nationals in Pennsylvania in front of curlers from my club and the East Coast.
Favorite Book?
American Pastoral, Philip Roth.

Unseasonable mild winter weather coupled with heavy selling by financial funds have pushed down oil prices this year. The move has been aided by an important trend at a time of sustained global growth that hasn't been seen for decades. For the first time in years, the developed world is burning less oil.
Data issued by the Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA), the energy watchdog of the industrialized countries including Ireland, show oil consumption in the 30 member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development fell 0.6% in 2006. While the the fall appears small, it marks the first annual drop in more than 20 years among the OECD countries, which use close to 60% of the 84.4 million barrels of oil used globally each day. Industrialized nations' demand did fall into negative territory in 2002, but the dip was so slight that it registered as flat.
The warm weather in early 2007 arises partly from a moderate-strength El Niño already established in the Pacific, which is expected to persist through the first few months of 2007. (El Niño was originally recognized by fisherman off the coast of South America as the appearance of unusually warm water in the Pacific ocean, occurring near the beginning of the year. El Niño means The Little Boy or Christ child in Spanish. This name was used for the tendency of the phenomenon to arrive around Christmas.) A moderate to strong El Niño typically brings mild winters to the northern US. The lag between El Niño and the full global surface temperature response means that the warming effect of El Niño is extended and therefore has a greater influence the global temperatures during the year.
On Thursday, US light crude West Texas Intermediate benchmark oil for February delivery settled at $50.48 a barrel, down $1.76, or 3.4%, on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). Earlier in the day, futures fell below $50 a barrel for the first time since May 2005, hitting a fresh 20-month low after the US Energy Department said US crude-oil stockpiles rose the most in more than four years. Oil had hit a peak of $78.40 on July 14, 2006. This year, prices have fallen 17%.
Light crude is trading electronically on NYMEX Friday at 07:40 am Irish time at $50.36 a barrel. Brent crude is trading in London at $51.64.
Crude oil's fall to $50 a barrel may push US gasoline pump prices below $2 a gallon for the first time in more than two years, based on historical price moves. The last time the average price for regular gasoline was below $2 was in March 2005, according to the AAA, the largest U.S. motorist organization. Prices are already below $2 in some parts of the country, including Oklahoma City and Kansas City, Missouri. The nationwide average was $2.209 on Jan. 17, down from a peak of more than $3 during the summer.
The Wall Street Journal says the tipping point where oil prices begin to erode demand was reached last summer, several industry analysts said.
The fall in oil use by the industrialized world is a sign that the reactions to higher oil prices by businesses and consumers from the US to Germany to Japan may be adding up to a cycle-turning downdraft in demand. The resulting shift in global cash flows could mean a big boost for oil consumers' economies at the expense of producers and exporters.

Other signals, both economic and psychological, have been popping up for some time: Demand for gas-guzzling sport-utility vehicles has been falling, while investment in and sales of alternative fuels such as ethanol are booming. Even the Bush administration is vowing to reduce America's dependence on crude.
Overall global oil demand grew 0.9% in 2006, owing to growth in China and the Middle East, down from growth of 3.9% in 2004 and 1.5% in 2005.
The Journal says some analysts see game-changing forces in motion. One is the rise of nonoil transport fuels. "Last year was a tipping point in a lot of ways," says Philip Verleger Jr., an oil economist who heads PK Verleger LLC. "Biofuels will take bigger and bigger bites out of petroleum demand," Verleger said, noting climate-change and security concerns relating to the supply and use of petroleum. "Alternate fuels will take up all the growth, leaving petroleum demand static in the next two or three years."
Forecasts by the IEA suggest biofuels output could rise to the equivalent of more than five million barrels of crude oil a day by 2011, close to triple output of such fuels in 2005. Global oil demand last year rose by 780,000 barrels a day to 84.4 million barrels a day, the latest IEA data show.
Crude oil prices fell to 20-month lows in mid-January as lower demand, due to unusually warm weather and fund repositioning in commodity markets, offset the impact of OPEC cuts. Despite a sharp fall in US crude stocks, high inventories at the NYMEX delivery point of Cushing, Oklahoma, are contributing to the persistence of higher forward prices.
Global oil product demand has been cut by 450 kb/d in 4Q06 following large US data revisions, unseasonably mild temperatures, fuel switching and lower apparent demand in the FSU. Some of these factors, together with a lower US GDP assumption, contribute to a reduction in forecast global demand growth to 1.6% in 2007 (85.8 mb/d).
World oil supply rose by 110 kb/d in December to 85.4 mb/d, as strong recent non-OPEC growth continued. However, revisions to Norway, Mexico, Canada and Latin America lowered non-OPEC supply by 0.3 mb/d to 52.3 mb/d in 2007. Mild weather cut the 4Q06 call on OPEC plus stock change to 29.4 mb/d, but the 2007 call was lifted by 0.1 mb/d to 28.6 mb/d, only marginally below the average call in 2006.
December OPEC-11 crude supply fell by 155 kb/d to 28.8 mb/d, but persistent disruptions to Iraqi and Nigerian supply limit effective spare capacity to 2.5 mb/d. Indications of further cuts in 1Q OPEC output follow the recent fall in prices and an agreement in Abuja to curb supply by 500 kb/d from February. Angola became an OPEC member from January 2007.
OECD refinery throughputs increased by 1.1 mb/d in November to average 39.1 mb/d. Weekly data suggest a further increase of 0.6 mb/d in December to a winter peak of 39.7 mb/d. Global throughputs are expected to decrease over the course of the first quarter, as maintenance takes place sequentially in the US, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
OECD total industry oil stocks continued to decline in November, falling by 33 mb as product draws offset a modest crude oil stock build. Provisional data suggest the trend continued in December. While total OECD stocks are 41 mb higher than one year ago at 2,712 mb, forward demand cover fell by one day from October to 54 days.

When we think of smoking related cancers, lung cancer is often our first thought. But there are many other smoking related cancers. Overall, smoking is either the direct cause or a contributing factor in 30% of cancers.
Known Smoking Related Cancers:
Lung Cancer
Lung cancer as stated above is the best known smoking related cancer, with smoking responsible for 80 to 90% of lung cancers.
Bladder Cancer
Smoking is the cause for bladder cancer in 50% of men and 30% of women. People who smoke have a 5-fold increased chance of developing bladder cancer.
Pancreatic Cancer
Smoking is thought to be the cause of about 30% of pancreatic cancers, and people who smoke are 2 to 3 times more likely to develop pancreatic cancer.
Head and Neck Cancers
Smoking can cause cancer of the mouth, tongue, throat, nasal cavities, and sinuses. Tobacco use is considered to be responsible for 85% of head and neck cancers.
Esophageal Cancer
Smoking roughly doubles the risk of developing esophageal cancer.
Kidney Cancer (Renal Cell Carcinoma)
Smoking is considered responsible for about 20% of kidney cancers.
Stomach Cancer
The risk of stomach cancer in smokers is twice that of non-smokers.
Colon Cancer
Smoking increases the risk of developing colon cancer and is considered to be responsible for 12% of fatal colon and rectal cancers.
Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)
Smoking is correlated with an increased risk of developing acute myelogenous leukemia, and is considered responsible for approximately 25% of cases.
Ovarian Cancer
In 2010, the International Association for Cancer Research added ovarian cancer to the list of cancers caused by smoking. In one study, women who smoked for 25 years or more were twice as likely to develop ovarian cancer as women who had never smoked.
Cancers in Which Smoking Can Be Additive or Accelerate Growth:
Liver Cancer
Cigarette smoking probably increases the risk of primary liver cancer.
Cervical Cancer
While smoking may not cause cervical cancer directly, it appears to accelerate the damage to cervical tissues caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), the primary cause of cervical cancer.
Skin Cancer
Smoking appears to triple the risk of one form of skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma.
Possible Smoking Related Cancers:
Breast Cancer
It hasn't been shown conclusively that smoking increases the risk of breast cancer, but studies are beginning to suggest a link. Women who smoke as teenagers appear to be more likely to develop pre-menopausal breast cancer, and aggressive forms of breast cancer are more common in current and former smokers.
Prostate Cancer
As with breast cancer, a connection between prostate cancer and smoking hasn't been proven conclusively. Yet, a 2010 review looking at 24 studies, suggests that smoking increases both the likelihood that a man will develop prostate cancer, and the risk of death in men who have been diagnosed.
Bottom Line:
Smoking is not only linked to lung cancer, but to several other cancers as well. Check out the other health effects of smoking below, and if you still smoke, our About.com Guide to Smoking Cessation has a plan to help you become smoke free in her "Quit Smoking Toolbox" below.

His seventh feature "Gravity" has been a long time coming, but the 3D project is no doubt his most ambitious and ballsiest endeavor to date. In the sci-fi film, Cuaron has George Clooney and Sandra Bullock suit up as two astronauts struggling to survive on a remote space station after satellite debris wipes out the rest of the crew and their ship. Featuring a cast of just two and a dark premise, the film is an anomaly for distributor Warner Bros., who are no doubt betting they have a game changer on their hands.
And now? Game changer or not, "Gravity" looks terrifying and unlike anything else out there. The brief trailer (it runs a mere minute and 30 seconds) starts out soothingly enough with Clooney and Bullock observing the sunrise at 372 miles above the earth. And then all hell breaks loose.
For more indie film trailers check out Indiewire's trailer page, sponsored by Sony Pictures Classics.
In 3D, the experience looks likely to be a hard to handle one if the deep, dark recesses of space scare you -- and they ought to. The final shot of Bullock's character being flung out into space is the stuff of nightmares. How (and if) they make it back to Earth is anyone's guess. But you can bet we're dying to find out after watching this enticing promo. Warner Bros. opens it October 4.

Hmm. I think it's the actors that is turning me off. I'm more excited for 'The Last Days on Mars' this Fall

Sound waves in the vacuum of space? I was hoping this would be a little more 2001 and a little less STAR WARS.

Alfonso Cuaron is one of my all time favorite director's I hope he get's a best director nomination for this! I am so excited to see these amazing long takes in IMAX. "Children of Men" back in 2006 was so mind blowing for the long takes, Alfonso brilliant director!

Van Cliburn performs at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC in honor of The Humane Society of the United States' 50th anniversary, Wed., Feb. 25, 2004. Cliburn's encore performance included the Lizst-Schumann Widmung (Dedication), which he dedicated to the crowd who had "loved deeply a cherished pet." (Glenwood Jackson/The Humane Society of the United States via U.S. Newswire)
The Cliburn Foundation has decided to forgo an international search for its new executive director and name its interim leader to the position.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports foundation officials promoted Jacques Marquis because of his good nature, musical knowledge and administrative skills that have brought stability to an organization troubled by turnover.
The foundation board voted to promote Marquis to the roles of president and CEO. The foundation is the parent to the celebrated Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.
Marquis replaces Alann Sampson, who resigned abruptly in November, just two months before international screening auditions for the competition were scheduled to begin.
The 48-year-old Marquis had been working for the foundation since September as a consultant.
The competition is named for the renowned pianist who died in February.

Freshmen students who move onto Winthrop Universitys campus this week may not know it, but school and Rock Hill officials have been working for years to plan and build a college town for them.
It once took shape in the form of Thursdays College Night at Scandals nightclub on Cherry Road, near Winthrop.
Decades before that, some flocked to Daddys Money later named The Money a live music venue and bar that opened in the 1960s across from Winthrop.
Over the years, the southern stretch of one of Rock Hills busiest roads has been home to a revolving door of restaurants, anchored by some that have lasted.
Students can find an organic grocery store, sushi, subs and McDonalds if they leave campus and cross Cherry Road.
They can find fried chicken and beer on tap within a 10-minute walk of the university. Downtown Rock Hill is a 20-minute walk from campus.
The problem is that there seems to be a curtain around the college, keeping the more than 6,000 students from spending large sums of time and money at Cherry Road businesses, said Butch Bailey, owner and operator of Scandals nightclub before it closed in 2011.
Fast-moving traffic on the four-lane thoroughfare dividing Winthrop from some of Rock Hills sandwich shops and stores doesnt help coax pedestrians across, he said.
Officials and many business owners say they hope that a $1.5 million York County Pennies for Progress road work project slated for Cherry Road will address the pedestrian safety problem. The project is intended to create safer crossings for pedestrians and slow down traffic.
County officials are now negotiating contracts for the project.
Until the street feels safe enough for students to cross, Bailey said, the amount of Winthrop traffic businesses see will be limited.
A Rock Hill native, Bailey started working as a DJ at The Money just one week after he graduated from high school.
He opened Scandals in 1988 when he was 23 years old.
College town plans
Bailey attended meetings and tried to fit in to what officials said they wanted in a college town, he said, but he felt a strain between his bar and the city and Winthrops college town action plan.
Student business gradually dropped off, starting in the early 2000s, he said.
Before shutting down Scandals, Bailey said he noticed more students staying on campus, entertained by options in Winthrops DiGiorgio Campus Center, which opened in 2010.
Scandals had a dance floor, WU brew and live music sometimes.
But a reluctance to cross Cherry Road and the college crowds changing preferences contributed to the bars ultimate demise, Bailey says.
David Kiser, owner of the bar formerly known as The Money, says he also had problems drawing Winthrop students to his business.
His music club and bar, Firewater 110, is for sale after it closed last month.
Kisers reasons for closing the business were personal, not a reflection of hard financial times, he said.
Still, Firewater 110 had trouble tapping into the Winthrop student market, and Kiser said hes not sure most people in the community will realize the club is gone when classes start on Aug. 20.
I dont get the feeling that we were beloved, he said.
Kiser owned the club as The Money for two years and as Firewater for one year, battling the venues reputation of being unsafe after a deadly shooting in the parking lot nearly three years ago. Some band members were celebrating inside their recreational vehicle when two men broke in and tried to rob them. A gunfight ensued, and one of the robbers was killed and a band member was injured.
The other robber pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
We knew wed never be able to create our own destiny as long as we were living in (The Moneys ) shoes, he said.
A fan of the college town concept, Kiser said he had a different experience than Bailey did in working with city and Winthrop officials.
He read case studies provided by the university that shed light on what students want in a college town. College officials and representatives from Winthrop and the Rock Hill Police Department were helpful, he said.
The problem with the action plan for the area surrounding the campus is that theres just nothing that college kids are really interested in, Kiser said.
To cater to Winthrop students, businesses need an artistic slant, he said, and deep pockets to revitalize and improve South Cherry Road.
Much of the land and many of the buildings near the campus have different owners.
The area lacks a single vision, Kiser said. A master developer similar to the strategy being used for Rock Hills Knowledge Park may be needed to make the college town a reality. A development firm or individual could buy up all the surrounding properties, he said, and create a successful multi-use area.
Its going to take the right person, with the right vision and the right capital. You need a success before people are going to follow, he said.
With Winthrops strong arts culture, the immediate area around the university could become a place like NoDa, Charlottes arts district, Kiser said.
The colleges students already swarm to NoDa, he said, adding, I used to see it every weekend: College kids jump in their cars and drive to Charlotte.
Suitcase school
Some cars head for Charlotte, but some students are headed home on the weekend, which is easy for them because the majority of Winthrops students are from South Carolina.
The weekend exodus has given the university the reputation of being a suitcase school, says Cale Medley, general manager of Grouchos, a restaurant across the street from Winthrop.
Medley, a 2011 Winthrop alumnus, said more than anything, he wants Winthrop to flourish.
Winthrops logo adorns Grouchos walls as a show of the business support for the school. A Winthrop logo also is displayed in the Sub Station II restaurant nearby.
Grouchos stay on Cherry Road across from the campus has been more successful than others, with the restaurant celebrating its fifth year as students return for classes.
Medley estimates that about 20 percent of the restaurants business comes from Winthrop students or employees.
Business could be better, he said, but Cherry Road the bloodline of Rock Hill feels unsafe for most pedestrians who cross the street.
Theres nothing about Cherry Road that says, Hey, slow down, people are trying to cross the street, he said.
The upcoming road project should help, Medley said, but college students still need more options on Cherry Road for the college town concept to find success.
Grouchos, Sub Station and Pub House are not enough to keep people entertained, he said.
The Pub House has enjoyed a packed house of Winthrop students since Jason Townsend started as general manager one year ago, he said.
The bar and restaurants proximity to the campus, Townsend said, is a key to its success.
Most of Townsends customers walk from the campus to Pub House but dont have to cross Cherry Road to get there.
While not aware of the city and Winthrops college town action plan, he says hed welcome improvements to the area, especially safety features on Cherry Road, which most people deem dangerous.
Improvements are forthcoming and will likely overlap with the citys efforts to develop Knowledge Park in the area between Winthrop and Rock Hills downtown, said Larry Williamson, a university representative on the Knowledge Park working group.
Williamson is married to Winthrop President Jayne Marie Comstock, who started in her job last month.
The working group makes recommendations to the Rock Hill Economic Development Corporation, a nonprofit entity. Comstock is an elected member of the corporations board.
One aspect of the Knowledge Park plan is to implement a street car that officials hope will entice students to the downtown area and to new development being courted for the site of the old Rock Hill Printing & Finishing Co., commonly called the Bleachery.
The street car is important, Williamson said, and will help everyone not just students commute between Cherry Road and downtown Rock Hill.

The SouthernTier are a Los Angeles based Americana band playing a mixture of Country, Bluegrass and Roots Rock. The SouthernTier are Mark Lennon - Guitar / Vocals, Patrick Taylor - Standup Bass, Eddie Lloyd - Drums, John Phinney - Pedal Steel / Banjo and Courtney Sudbrink - Electric Guitar / Mandolin.
The SouthernTier is fronted by North Carolina native Mark W. Lennon who released his full length debut album, Home of the Wheel in 2011. Compared to 2009's much talked about EP, Down the Mountain, Home of the Wheel has a raw - stripped down sound, due in part to producer Marvin Etzioni. A former member of Lone Justice, Etizoni (who has worked with Steve Earle, Counting Crows and Lucinda Williams) helped Lennon create an album centering on well-crafted songs of lost love, reflection and longing for the South.
Lennon's twang-tinged voice is authentic. He has the ability to deliver a positive spin on even the most melancholy sentiments. His honest and personal lyrics evoke imagery deeply rooted in his southern upbringing and family history, that seamlessly transition from depression era themes to modern day introspective on his conflict with life in Los Angeles.
"We just took the reigns off without much of a plan on Down the Mountain, which led to more of a jam style record. With Home of the Wheel, we shaved it to the bone," Lennon says joking about the record. "Marvin had me so far out of my comfort zone, I didn't know which way we were coming or going."
Home of the Wheel is an eclectic hodgepodge of Americana styles that will appeal to any musical taste. It ranges from Woody Guthri-esque folk "Home of the Wheel" to Gram Parsons-ish Country "California Calling," to Desire era Dylan ("The River Stays the Same," "Cold Mountain Steel" which feature Scarlett Rivera on fiddle), as well as rock "Stop and Go," bluegrassy "These Times Better" and harmonic pop "Look for the Walls."
"County, folk and Appalachian strains combine in sweet and sour melancholic tunes, some aided by ex-Dylan fiddle player Scarlet Rivera, that, like the lovely and poignant 'Before the Fall,' mine a rich vein of dusky and affecting Americana." -American Songwriter
Home of the Wheel is available now. Purchase at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/markwlennon

Different types of Solar Panels
Alright party people let's talk about the basic types of solar panels and how they're used…
Monocrystalline silicon (mono-silicon or single silicon)
Right now, these are the most efficient type of solar panels. In other words, when sunlight hits these puppies, more of it turns into electricity than the other types below. As a result of their high silicon content, they're also more expensive, but you need fewer of them. That's why they're ideal for roofs. You can tell if you have a monocrystalline solar panel by its square-ish cells.
Polycrystalline silicon (multicrystalline, multi-silicon, ribbon)
"Poly" panels have lower silicon levels than "mono" panels. In general, that makes them less expensive to produce, but they're also slightly less efficient. The good news is that their overall construction design can often make up for the efficiency loss, so they're also good for roofs. You can tell poly-silicon panels by their groovy mélange of silicon woven through thin rectangular conduit wires.
Thin film (amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, copper indium gallium (di)selenide)
Everyone talks about "thin film" because they're really inexpensive to make and they don't mind the heat, which is all cool. Except right now, they're very inefficient, which means you'll see them in big solar farm projects with a lot of land, but not on your roof.
BIPV (building integrated photovoltaics)
BIPV's can look like real roofing tiles (solar shingles are an example). That's nice, but good looks do cost a lot more. Second, they're way less efficient than conventional PV, which means you need a sunny spacious roof to make a dent in your electric bill. Finally, they may not last as long as regular panels. Right now, doesn't contract for BIPV systems.
Solar hot water (thermal) panels
Finally, there's another type of panel that has nothing to do with electricity. Instead of paying the gas company to heat your hot water tank, solar thermal panels produce hot water for your home and/or your pool. Some systems can even provide heat and air conditioning too. currently doesn't offer solar thermal deals. More information: Solar Hot Water vs Solar PV.

ProduktinfoOwing mainly to the tireless efforts of the late Father Samuel Rubio and other editors in making his works available in print during the past forty years, Padre Antonio Soler is now justly regarded as the most important composer active in Spain during the second half of the eighteenth century. Spanish folk-song and dance elements, as well as virtuoso effects, such as repeated notes in the left hand against wide leaps and hand crossings in the right, feature prominently in the 150 Sonatas. Soler's slow movements, for example the opening movement of the splendid Sonata Sonata No. 60 heard on this disc, contain some of his most heartfelt and poignant music. This is the last disc in Gilbert Rowland's Naxos cycle of the complete Soler Sonatas for Harpsichord.

Soccer returns home Sunday
MT opens weekend at Alabama A&M FridaySeptember 2, 2010 · Athletic Communications
Vanessa Mueggler scored the game-tying goal with 31 seconds left Sunday against Tennessee Tech. (Bradley Lambert)
· Box Score
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - A short trip to Huntsville, Ala., Friday will be the lone interruption of a four-match set for the Middle Tennessee soccer team in which it plays the other three games at home. The Blue Raiders begin weekend action at 4 p.m. Friday at Alabama A&M before returning to Murfreesboro for a 1 p.m. Sunday contest with Evansville.
Middle Tennessee opened its home slate last weekend, capping the two-game series with a thrilling, come-from-behind 2-1 double-overtime win against Tennessee Tech Sunday. The Blue Raiders received the tying goal from senior All-Sun Belt performer Vanessa Mueggler with 31 seconds remaining in regulation and then junior Hope Suominen sealed the triumph with the game winner in the second extra frame, just 6:48 before the final horn.
"It is good we were able to pull out a win last weekend against Tennessee Tech," head coach Aston Rhoden said.
The victory was MT's first of the fall, improved its record to 1-2 and provided the Blue Raiders with confidence heading into this weekend's matches. Middle Tennessee knocked off Alabama A&M in last year's home opener in record-breaking fashion, defeating the Bulldogs by an 11-1 margin. Two-time All-Sun Belt forward Shan Jones netted a school-record tying four goals on her way to earning her first league player of the week award.
The Blue Raiders own a commanding 5-0 series advantage against Alabama A&M, outscoring the opponent 26-3 in the five previous meetings. The Bulldogs, under the direction of head coach Frank Davies, enter the contest with a 0-4 ledger, being outscored 31-1 thus far.
"Alabama A&M has always posed challenges for us when we have played them away. They have had a shaky start this season, but a good result (1-0 OT loss) to Murray State recently. I am sure they are putting the pieces together. We are just hoping we can go to Huntsville and at least play a complete game."
Middle Tennessee then returns home Sunday to battle Evansville and to conclude the weekend by playing its third match at Dean A. Hayes Track and Soccer Stadium in the last four. The Purple Aces, led by head coach Kristy McKendree currently are 0-2-1 entering the weekend. They will travel to Bowling Green, Ky., to face Western Kentucky Friday before arriving in Murfreesboro.
The Blue Raiders secured a 4-3 triumph in Evansville last fall for their third win in as many meetings in the series. The scoring margin is closer than that against Alabama A&M, as Middle Tennessee has won the three outings by a combined 9-5 score. The Blue Raiders built a 3-1 halftime lead in last year's matchup, only to need a goal by Jones late in the second half to combat a hat trick from UE's Kasey Kutzler for the victory.
"Evansville is going to be a very strong opponent for us. The game last year was very close, so I suspect it is going to be a challenging game also. We are facing two opponents this weekend who are looking for their first wins, and teams that are in that mode, tend to always fight and battle a little bit harder. We have to make sure our heads are in the right place and do the simple things. If we can do that, I think we can get a positive result in both matches."
Sunday's game will be International Day, as all fans in attendance are encourage to wear their blue or their favorite international jersey.

Letters: Election 2012
As I retire for the night, Obama has been declared the victor in the presidential race and I must accept the decision of my fellow citizens. While I am confident that this great nation can withstand two terms of a president like Barack Obama, I despair that we can survive an electorate that would re-elect President Obama and retain Harry Reid as Senate majority leader. – Jim Mallen, Lake San Marcos

It's official: President Obama re-elected, making us the United States of Fools. – Daniel B. Jeffs, Carlsbad
Referring to your snarky editorial "Romney in a landslide" on Sunday, Aug. 5, what do you have to say now? – Karen Krusen, San Diego
"Hurricane Sandy derailed our forward momentum."
"Back-stabbing Chris Christy done us in."
"We nominated the wrong messenger."
"We failed to articulate our message."
"The Bureau of Labor Statistics falsified the jobs report to give Obama an advantage."
"The liberal media didn't give us a chance."
And, of course, there will be numerous accusations of election fraud. All one sided.
NO! It's none of the above. The conservative message came through loud and clear! We get it!
The Republicans are trying to sell an inferior product. The marketplace is working. Hate, anger, fear, ignorance, disdain for all women, young voters and everyone but the super-wealthy country-club crowd will not sell in a democracy. Given enough time, we figure it out.
Liberals are introspective. When events unfold contrary to our desires we look within ourselves.
"What did I do wrong?"
"What can I do differently next time?"
"Am I wrong about history and current events?"
Conservatives never question themselves. They never question their core beliefs. When events unfold contrary to their desires, their solution is, usually, do more of what we did before.
Goodbye, GOP! – Charlie Ballbach, Santee
Since Obama has won re-election, it just reinforces the opposite of what President Kennedy said to: "Ask not what you can do for your country but what your country can do for you." So all of the 47 percent get what they want and all of the rest of us get to deal with the results. – Bob Seelos, San Diego
Obama Round II – Another natural disaster hits America. Lord help our nation. The Electoral College needs to go. – Karl Higgins, Vista
Truth in advertising laws don't apply?
As we finally reach the end of another long and annoyingly nasty campaign season, I am once again struck by a recurring issue.
The issue is that every party, every proposition and every candidate has ads that contain flat-out lies, twisted truths and tremendous misrepresentations.
I have to ask one question – is there anyone who can explain why our truth in advertising laws do not apply to all political ads. I can't be the only voter that has wondered about this. Any other entity who presented these types of dishonest ads would certainly face fines if not criminal charges. – James Kerr, San Diego
