The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network:
Leading the Way to a Cure
The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network is a nationwide network of
people dedicated to working together to advance research, support
patients and create hope for those affected by pancreatic cancer.
The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network is the national organization
creating hope in a comprehensive way through research, patient support,
community outreach and advocacy for a cure. The organization raises
money for direct private funding of research—and advocates for
significant increases in federal support for research to prevent, diagnose
and treat pancreatic cancer.
The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network fills the void of information
and options by giving patients and caregivers reliable, personalized
information they need to make informed decisions. We create a sense of
hope and community so no one has to face pancreatic cancer alone. The
organization helps support individuals and communities all across the
country so that they may work together to raise awareness and funds to
find a cure for pancreatic cancer.

Ten years ago, a debilitating heart attack left Bernie Weisman unable to walk or talk, and yet the rabbi at his recent funeral said Bernie never had a bad day. With confidence the rabbi made that remark, having been assured by those closest to Bernie that the happy spirit he displayed for his first 55 years remained for the last 10.
Such a spirit is not easily disabled.
"At the end of his 65 years of life," Rabbi Dana Saroken of Beth El Congregation said at last month's funeral, "this is who Bernie was and who he always will be — a man who lit up the room wherever he was, a man who, despite any circumstances, never had a bad day, who smiled from morning until night; a man you could meet and within five minutes you would fall in love; the most generous and giving person who couldn't do enough for you, who never had an unkind word to say about anyone, who made time for everyone, and would even answer the phone lovingly — 'Hey doll!'
"An inspiring and admirable businessman, husband, father and friend. A fine man. A good man. A man who lived with integrity and old-school values, and who brought out the best in others and in humanity. A true mensch.
"In his lifetime, he was a legend and in his death, his legacy will burn brightly."
Bernie Weisman was chief pharmacist and owner of a North Baltimore drugstore that still has a lunch counter with stools. Charlesmead Pharmacy sells shakes and snowballs; you can get an egg salad sandwich there for $2.75. Once upon a time — within the past 15 years — you could get the Baltimore classic of coddies and a chocolate soda (made with syrup and seltzer at the counter) for $1.29.
Charlesmead, at Bellona and Gittings avenues, is an independent pharmacy in the Epic network, a throwback to the corner drugstore, and among the last of such places with fountain service.
The store was always "so Bernie," meaning very friendly and a little funky, with a lot of glad-to-see-ya and personal service. Bernie, wife Marilyn and their Charlesmead employees remembered names, and they liked to tape customers' baby pictures to the wood-paneled walls.
"To say that his business was and is a special place is an understatement," Rabbi Saroken said at the funeral. "Bernie created a place where everyone has a house account, a place where people could buy things even when they couldn't pay because Bernie knew that people can't always pay their whole bill. 'You gotta give 'em time,' he'd say. …
"Bernie created a place where people would go for advice, for guidance, a place where Bernie was there to listen patiently, a place where money mattered less than the person — so much so that, if a woman came in and needed expensive medicine and resisted buying it because of the cost, Bernie would insist: 'Take it. It's OK. I know you'll pay when you can.'
"At Bernie's place, they picked up prescriptions, filled them and delivered them without charge and, for his customers, even if they called in the middle of the night, Bernie never minded."
Bernie's wife took over for him after the heart attack. I dropped by at closing time the other night, and nothing much had changed. The cluttered store still has a little bit of everything displayed in three aisles and along the walls.
You can still get a slice of pizza or an ice cream. The deliveryman is still a cheerful fellow named George.
Holiday decorations were still up, and there was a photo of Bernie on the front door. He died Dec. 21. Until the end, customers were mailing him get-well cards.
"We gave him great care at home all these years, I wanted him to have that," Marilyn said. "He had a nurse during the day and a nurse's aide during the night — a brother and sister, Ruth Villaflores and her brother, Keith. They became like family."
Bernie and Marilyn had two sons, David and Brian, and a daughter, Shari.
They were blessed with grandchildren, too, but that was after Bernie's heart attack. Still, Marilyn said, the children visited their grandfather, and she could see in her husband's facial expressions the acknowledgment of the love around him.
"This was a man who smiled from the time he got up in the morning until he went to bed at night," Marilyn said.
Bernie Weisman was the man who never had a bad day.
"And so we say goodbye," Rabbi Saroken closed her eulogy. "And so we say today, 'Zacher tzadik livracha.' May his righteous memory always be your blessing, and may the beautiful memories and the love you shared always burn bright."

Organisms studied | Typha; Spartina alterniflora; Spartina patens |
Methods: | General: There are three on-going plot-level fertilization sites. The first (LTE-MP-LPA) is in the low marsh at Law's Point along the Rowley River. The second (LTE-MP-LPP) is in the high marsh at Law's Point along the Rowley River. The third (LTE-MP-ORT) is in a brackish water marsh on an upstream tributary of the Parker River. SET sampling at the Parker River site was discontinued after May 2008. At each site a system of boardwalks was built to incorporate 12 experimental plots (1m2 each). There are 4 treatments (three reps each) within the boardwalk structure. The 4 treatments are Control, N-fertilized, P-fertilized, N+P fertilized. Additionally, at each site there are 3 control plots and 3 N+P fertilization plots external to the boardwalk structure. These external plots contain porewater samplers, and, in some cases, biomass census plots. In May 2006 the control porewater plots and control census plots at all three sites were moved because of potential contamination from fertilized plots. Fertilizer is buried at several locations within each plot, monthly, from May-Sept. From 1999-2001 the annual fertilization rate was 30 molN/m2/y and 15 mol P/m2/y. From 2002 to present fertilization rate is 7.5 mol N/m2/y and/or 3.75 mol P/m2/y. N fertilizer was NH4NO3 through 2008, and currently is nitrate/urea/sulfate (34-0-0). P fertilizer is P2O5 (0-44-0). Sampling Description: Triplicate SET benchmarks are permanently installed between fertilized and control plots at each of the three research sites. Each SET benchmark is positioned such that 27 elevation readings can be taken in a fertilized plot (9 readings in 3 subplots) and 27 elevation readings can be taken in a control plot. At each subplot, the SET sampling arm is leveled, 9 brass pins are lowered to the marsh surface, and the height of each pin above the sampling plate is measured and recorded. Surface elevations are measured monthly from May through October at LTE-MP-LPA and LTE-MP-LPP, and in May and October only at LTE-MP-ORT. Triplicate original-style SET benchmark posts were permanently installed at each site. Each SET consists of a permanently installed post and a removable arm. The arm has a vertical and a horizontal component. The vertical component fits into the SET benchmark post; the horizontal component reaches out over the experimental subplot and has a square plate at the end through which 9 pins are lowered. Each SET post is associated with two adjacent plots (one control, one NP fertilized). Each SET benchmark post is positioned such that 27 elevation readings can be taken in a fertilized plot (9 readings in 3 subplots) and 27 elevation readings can be taken in a control plot. Plots are numbered. Subplots are identified as L, C, or R for left, center and right, when facing the plot (back to the SET post). To measure elevations, the SET arm is locked in place over each subplot, is leveled, and the 9 brass pins are lowered to touch the sediment surface and held in place with a clip. Pin heights are measured from the top of the nut on the plate to the top of the pin, and read into a digital recorder. The recordings are transcribed into one master SET pin height data set. Change in marsh elevation is determined by subtracting pin height at time X from the mean pin height for the subplot at time 0. SET readings occur approximately monthly, from May-October. The ORT SET was discontinued in 2008. The horizontal portion of the removable part of the PIE LTER SET can be correctly installed and leveled in several positions: the arm can be extended all the way forward, all the way back, and anywhere in between. All SET measurements are made with the arm all the way back, i.e. with the plate being as close to the SET post as possible and the SET arm being as short as possible. The SET was manufactured by Nolan's Machine Shop in Lafayette LA; 337-235-5261. Replacement pins or collars can be purchased from Nolan's. Stainless steel parts (roll pins etc) come from McMaster-Carr. Measuring pins are held in place with badge clips, available at office supply stores. Data Processing: Data are transcribed from a digital recorder to an Excel spreadsheet. Change in marsh elevation is determined by subtracting pin height at time X from the mean pin height for the subplot at time 0. SAS programs are used to determine treatment means and standard error for each month. (SAS System for Windows; release 9.1; SAS Institute, Inc; Cary, NC) |

The Compact Disc Turned 30 Yesterday
That's right, March 8th marked the "historic demonstration of the first CD prototype codenamed 'Pinkeltje' on March 8th, 1979." Well congratulations, compact disc, I almost forgot you were still here.
While many would argue that the CD is on its way out in favor of smaller, highly portable MP3 files, the disc has definitely left a lasting mark on the industry. To date, over 3.5 billion audio CD players have been sold alongside 240 billion discs.
Damn -- that's a lot of discs! That's almost a quarter of a trillion dollars. And a trillion dollars, my friends, is how much money I have in the bank. It barely fits! Just sayin', bling bling, money ain't a thing. I'm talking skating rink ice. Ladies?

I know I should have made something Greek for Hannukah if I wanted to make something from the relevant ancient enemy of the Macabbees, but I couldn't find anything that sparked my interest. So, I decided to make an Assyrian dish. They did conquer Israel in 772BC and scattered the tribes throughout the Middle East. But don't worry, I don't harbor any bad feelings towards the Assyrians. They are our brothers and still speak a variation of the language of my forefathers, Aramaic. The Assyrians have been Christian for almost two thousand years and make up a small, persecuted, minority in Iraq; many of them fled during the period since the fall of Saddam Hussein because of the violence between the different Muslim factions in Iraq.
Mr BT forgot that we would not be eating at home on Thursday and had taken out some ground beef from the freezer. So, I had to figure out what Hannukah inspired dish I was going to make with ground beef. I didn't want to make kebab or stuffed vegetables like I normally do. I remembered that I had seen recipes for potato patties stuffed with ground meat, but was always afraid that they would be lead bombs in the stomach. But, in the spirit of Hannukah, I decided to give it a try. Potato patties are eaten in a variety of countries, using a variety of spices or no spices at all. The Russian version are quite bland, while the Algerian and Iraqi versions are quite flavourful. I decided to make a fusion version from Algerian and Assyrian recipes for potato patties filled with minced beef or lamb. The potato exterior is from an Algerian recipe and the meat mixture is Assyrian.
Mr BT calls this type of cooking "Con-fusion" cooking. Con, as in Congress, the opposite of progress. Okay, I know, stop with the bad jokes and get back to cooking.
The potato chaps were surprisingly light and full of spicy goodness. The spices are quite subtle, so make sure you taste the meat before making the patties. If you want to see a good step-by-step pictorial of how to make them, see Mimi's photos from Israeli Kitchen.
Chag Hannukah Sameach from Mr BT and Baroness Tapuzina!
1kg (2lbs) white potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
2 eggs
1 medium onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
1/4 kg (1/2lb) lean ground beef
1 small onion, minced
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/4 cup parsley
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cardamom
Pinch of ground cloves
Pinch of ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup canola oil or oil of your choice
Flour for dredging
Cook potatoes in water, until tender. Drain the potatoes and mash them until smooth. Add eggs, onion, garlic, salt, turmeric, cinnamon and parsley.
In a frying pan, saute the onion and garlic in a little olive oil. Add the ground beef, parsley, pine nuts, and all of the spices. Cook until the meat is cooked through. Set aside to cool.
Moisten your hands with water, and take a couple of tablespoons of the potato mixture, flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place 1 tablespoon of the the meat mixture in the middle. Carefully bring the sides of the potato over the meat mixture. You may have to add a little more of the potato mixture to the top of the patty. Close the patty and flatten it. Moisten your hands in cold water before you make each patty. Place the patties on a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Dredge the patties lightly in flour before frying.

During his tenure as president of the Tennessee County Services Association, Roane County Commissioner Bobby Collier said he got the feeling that officials from other counties were unsympathetic about the financial problems facing Roane County Schools.
"When I asked why, they said it's because you pay your people very well," Collier said.
According to the Tennessee Department of Education's 2012-13 Annual Statistical Report, Roane County classroom teachers have an average salary of $49,240.
Friends are remembering Rockwood resident and former Roane County commissioner Don "Duck" Wicks as a man who had a big impact on his community.
Wicks, who is the father of General Sessions Judge Jeff Wicks, died on Wednesday. He was 77.
He served on the Roane County Commission from 1986-94 and again from 2002-06.
"Commissioner Wicks was one of the best commissioners I ever served with," Roane County Attorney Tom McFarland said. "He knew the budget inside and out."
Renaissance Festival organizers will be able to sell alcohol.
Harriman City Council approved a special-event permit in the city's beer ordinance in final reading Tuesday, March 11.
The amended ordinance permits special event permit sales of beverages with an alcoholic content at or below 5 percent of weight.
The ordinance was mainly approved to allow sales at what is referred to as the Harriman Industrial Park property on Fiske Road, which includes Emory River frontage.
A Harriman man was hospitalized Sunday night after he was struck by a Norfolk Southern train near the Sonic Drive-in.
Officials said Edward Wells, 79, appeared to have stepped out in front of the train.
Wells suffered from a contusion on his head that was bleeding heavily and also had cuts and scrapes on his hands and left leg, according to police reports. He was taken by Lifestar to University of Tennessee Medical Center.
Kingston attorney Terry L. Stevens II picked up a petition on Monday to run for public defender for the 9th Judicial District.
That creates a potential conflict of interest, because Stevens currently works as a prosecutor for the 9th Judicial District Attorney General's Office.
"At my direction, Assistant District Attorney Terry Stevens has contacted the U.S. General Counsel for the federal Hatch Act to request a formal opinion on the issue since his DUI prosecutor position is federally funded," District Attorney General Russell Johnson said.
Rocky Houston's federal trial remains on schedule for March 17, despite a late effort by his court-appointed attorney to get off the case.
Michael McGovern filed a motion to withdraw just hours before Monday's 1 p.m. status conference.
The timing didn't sit well with U.S. Magistrate C. Clifford Shirley Jr. He admonished both McGovern and Houston, who also filed a last minute motion to get rid of McGovern.
"I take it you're not going to argue against his request to withdraw," Shirley asked Houston.
Mike Farmer blamed a communication snafu for the high taxpayer funded cell phone bills incurred during his time as county executive. One of the bills was $660.25. Another one was $512.56. Several others ranged from $425 to $450.
"It appears that there was a miscommunication between purchasing and the provider on the text messaging package when the line was established," Farmer said.
Harriman officials aren't too pleased about proposed state legislation that would require annexation of a territory by a municipality be subject to approval by the majority of the residents in the proposed territory.
"We desperately need to annex in Midtown," said Harriman Councilman J.D. Sampson.
Harriman has invested heavily in the Midtown area. Investments include contributions to the Pinnacle Pointe Shopping Center anchored by Kroger and Lowe's and the city's part in the expansion of the Interstate 40 interchange.
The Tennessee Valley Authority has achieved a significant milestone in its cleanup of the ash spill at the Kingston Fossil Plant – the completion of an earthquake-resistant, underground retaining wall around the containment cell at the recovery site.
The wall, which completely surrounds the 240-acre containment cell where recovered ash will be permanently stored, was completed on Feb. 20, almost a month ahead of schedule.

Diversity: There is quite a bit of diversity in all areas and alot of different cultures.
Diversity: As far as my experiences can tell me, our campus is rather accepting of minority groups. Many of my friends who fall into minority categories participate in scholarship programs reserved for minorities. There are many opportunities on campus. I identify as a minority myself being a female engineer; only 19% of the College of Engineering is female. In this circumstance, I feel accepted and even welcomed.
Diversity: There are many events held to encourage acceptance of the many different groups of people
Diversity: It's diverse for Wisconsin. I grew up in a "white town" so it's much more diverse than that, however it's not EXTREMELY diverse
Diversity: There is great ethnic diversity on campus. I have never witnessed or heard of any discriminatory actions that occurred on campus. All staff members and students seem very accepting of various cultures and ethnicities.

When it comes to campus diversity, for students, it's more about how you define the term diversity. For those addressing differing personality and lifestyles, Madison is the leader of diversity. This is partly the result of campus-size. With over 45,000 students and hundreds of academic programs, people with every type of quirky element are drawn to UW. More so, many different organizations and clubs are set up to foster and nurture such contrasting people.
Racially, though, UW is less diverse. In the past two years, UW has gone up two percent in terms of diversity, as approximately 12.5 percent of students fall into minority categories, up from 10 percent in 2006. There is a growing trend of more international and study abroad students as well. Some students still find this statistic unfortunately low, however, and link it to the university's Midwest location. But though UW's minority student population may be small, it is very strong in terms of presence. Many of the diversity clubs at the university are the ones offering the most activities and opportunities to students. These clubs will often hold information fairs, social gatherings, debate forums, and educational seminars. One downside is that students don't feel minority groups spend much time on recruitment.

Where The Green Things Are Home to gardens, photovoltaic arrays, wind turbines, and more, rooftops increasingly host some of the most popular innovations of the green movement. And that's what concerns the fire service and the code community.
NFPA Journal®, November/December 2009
By Alan R. Earls
If you want to see the future of "green" rooftops, you need to travel to Stuttgart, Germany, where roughly a third of the flat roofs in the city are green, literally, because they're covered with specially selected plantings.
RELATED FEATURES Cover Package: Which Way For Green? Supply Side It's Not Easy Being Green Where The Green Things Are Nuclear Option More. Bigger. Costlier.
VEGETATED VISTAS Top 10 cities in North America with square footage of vegetated roofs newly installed in 2008
Source: Green Roofs for Healthy Cities
Case Study: PV Shock One firefighter's potentially deadly encounter with a photovoltaic system.
Fuel is Fuel The challenges emergency responders face when they encounter alternative fuel sources in the field.
Stuttgart may be out front, but according to green-roof advocate Robert Berghage, an associate professor of horticulture and director of the Center for Green Roof Research at Pennsylvania State University, a lot of other cities around the world, including some in the U.S., are racing to catch up. "When I first started here 10 years ago, you could count the green roof projects [in the U.S.] on your fingers and probably not even need to use your toes," says Berghage. By contrast, he says, green roofs are now being built at an unprecedented rate, with many municipalities — New York, Chicago, and Portland, Oregon, among them — implementing legislation to encourage or even require green roofs on certain kinds of new construction.
While the exact number of these projects is difficult to pinpoint, a recent report issued by Green Roofs for Healthy Cities (GRHC), an advocacy group, claims an increase of 35 percent in the number of green-roof projects completed in the U.S. in 2008 compared to 2007, for a yearly total of 3.1 million square feet. The overwhelming majority of those projects were either commercial or institutional structures.
The term "green roof" covers a multitude of technologies and design philosophies, but it's primarily intended to evoke Berghage's vision of the abundant plant life that is so common on Stuttgart rooftops. Advocates say these green roofs, more properly called vegetated roofs, can help reduce a building's carbon footprint by offering extra insulation, absorbing storm-water runoff, and freshening the air.
The term also covers rooftops that host photovoltaic (PV) arrays, or even wind turbines. In optimal situations, PV roofs can generate all the electricity a building needs, and sometimes more, reducing the need for energy created by burning fossil fuels and providing savings on utility costs. While some PV roofs began to appear as far back as the 1970s, rising energy costs, the availability of lower-cost and higher-performance PV systems, and government incentives have all combined to boost their popularity.
But popular doesn't necessarily mean safe. PV systems, for instance, have been involved in building fires around the country. For instance, in October of 2002, the San Jose Mercury News reported that fire investigators had determined that a residential PV unit malfunction, the exact nature of which could not be determined, had sparked a substantial wildfire that eventually covered more than 3,000 acres and affected 35 homes. More recently, a fire involving PV systems in Sedona, Arizona, exposed a firefighter to a severe electrical shock (see "Case Study: PV Shock," page 54). Vegetated roofs pose fire- and life-safety issues as well. While insisting that thousands of green roof systems have been trouble-free, Steven Peck, GRHC president, acknowledges that at least one vegetated roof in Germany collapsed because a drainage system failed to operate properly. Furthermore, experience with conventional buildings shows that inadvertent roof overloading with snow, water, and ice is already an important safety problem, even without the complication — and the significant weight — of extensive plantings.
Those issues concern Allan Fraser, senior building code specialist for NFPA and a former municipal building inspector. Fraser points out that, while vegetated roofs can be, and regularly are, built in compliance with existing codes, that doesn't mean they're necessarily safe. In most cases, he says, the issue is loading, or potential loading. Designers, Fraser says, need to plan for the dead load—the weight of the roof itself—while planning ahead for the live load, which includes people, snow, vegetation, water, electrical equipment, and anything else that might one day reside there, not to mention the increased risk of collapse in the event of a fire. "Codes address these issues, but designers and code officials really need to understand how all these factors can interact or how they might change over time," Fraser says. In other words, a green roof is a dynamic system, and it's not always clear how things might work in the real world—and there's no body of experience indicating how to monitor green roofs over time.
As Fraser points out, factors of change and neglect could lead to under-maintained vegetated roofs accumulating dead or dry plantings, thus providing a highly combustible fuel source. Similarly, with PV arrays, Fraser says products and installations are usually delivered 'after-market' rather than as an integral part of the design and permitting of the building. As a consequence, PV installations may end up putting dangerous point loads (such as the supports holding up PV arrays) on rooftops that exceed the maximum loads specified per square foot for the structure. Similarly, high winds can potentially lead to the uplift and failure of PV arrays.
The code-related gray areas created by green roofs are of growing concern to the code and building communities, as well as to the fire service. "Over the past 100 to 150 years, we have gone through an evolution from poorly built buildings of all types to the almost universal practice of building by code," says Curt Varone, NFPA's director of Public Fire Protection. "Now, though, in addition to the challenges we face with modern lightweight construction, we also have green buildings to contend with."
Managing new kinds of risk Photovoltaic panels themselves are especially worrisome to Varone. Aside from their potential for interfering with firefighting operations, there is the problem of controlling the electricity they generate, particularly when there is a fire in an adjacent area. Although some have suggested simply covering the PV systems with an opaque tarpaulin to deenergize them, Varone says that can be hard to do in the midst of an emergency and is not recognized as a reliable way to make the systems safer to handle.
"Their presence on the roof and the difficulties of working around them impact what is traditionally one of the most important elements in firefighting tactics—establishing ventilation through the roof to allow combustion and heat out and to improve victim survivability," Varone says. "Plus, when PV modules and panels are exposed to sunlight they generate electricity, and there isn't much that can be done about that. It isn't something you can just switch off. We have to look at this as a new kind of risk, and we need to train firefighters about how to manage that risk."
Code and building professionals are accustomed to playing catch-up on the safety impacts of such innovations, green roofs among them. Robert Solomon, NFPA department manager for building and life safety codes, says there are no national standards that regulate green roof design, but adds that groups like ASTM International (formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials) and the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), along with companies like the insurer FM Global, are in the process of releasing new design criteria for such systems. Solomon says NFPA is taking a "measured approach" to the rooftops issue, identifying concerns and problems as well as possible code solutions; those solutions can be existing documents from NFPA or elsewhere, Solomon says, or they can be new documents that will have to be developed by one or more NFPA Technical Committees.
NFPA has identified a number of codes and standards that already manage some of the issues associated with green roofs, Solomon says, including NFPA 5000®, Building Construction and Safety Code®. According to Solomon, several areas within NFPA 5000 can help NFPA address these topics, including the goals and objectives in Chapter 4 of the code. For example, the broad goals of "public welfare" in Section 4.1.6 include a provision that "the design, construction, and operation of the building is consistent with the reasonable expectations of society with respect to energy efficiency, cultural heritage preservation, mission continuity, and environment." The specifics of how this is addressed, however, and where it gets addressed in the code, have yet to be determined, but Solomon says Chapter 38, "Roof Assemblies and Roof Structures," in NFPA 5000 is a good starting point. He notes that the requirements of this chapter describe a roof design that protects the interior of the building from the elements and provides a substantial base that can support the weight of other structures (such as a penthouse, a mechanical equipment room, or antennas) while specifying that the construction materials used do not present an increased fire hazard. Underlying these provisions is the understanding that anything that ends up on the roof cannot diminish any of these objectives, and that any components or substructures must be securely tied into the roof so they cannot become airborne in high winds.
Solomon says any vegetated roof system or design will have to be evaluated for a number of factors. Among these are the materials used, with the provision that they cannot become airborne in high winds, which could damage the host building or adjacent structures or injure people at street level. The containment systems for the vegetation must likewise be securely anchored. The contributed weight factors associated with the containment system, the soil, and the vegetation itself must be evaluated. In a worst-case scenario, the added weight of water that collects in the soil, either from a rain occurrence or during firefighting operations, must be accounted for. At a weight of 8.3 pounds per gallon, several hundred gallons of water can quickly add up to tons of additional weight that most roofing systems are not designed to handle. The third area of concern is what happens if the vegetation dies off, in which case the roof could be host to a very dry, highly combustible fuel package not normally present.
Many of the same concepts also apply to PV arrays, such as anchoring of the arrays and conduit; accounting for the weight of the system array; and considering the fire-hazard properties of the composite materials that might be used to form the actual PV modules and panels. Article 690 of NFPA 70®, National Electrical Code®, is entitled "Solar Photovoltaic Systems," and provides electrical designers with the requirements to provide a safe and functional PV system. With regard to first responders, Solomon says NFPA and other organizations have issued alerts to make sure firefighters are aware that even though the electrical power from the utility can be isolated, electrical energy (up to 600 volts) is still present as long as the PV array is connected. The NEC criteria require a special disconnecting means for the PV array, but fire department preplanning is essential to know what buildings have PV systems and to know where that disconnect feature is located.
In addition, Mark Earley, chief electrical engineer at NFPA, says a new rooftop-related article has also been proposed for the 2011 NEC. "It would have requirements similar to the solar article, number 690," he says, and could also deal with "lifecycle" issues for PV systems, such as the need for periodic removal and reinstallation of arrays when roofs are resurfaced. "The bottom line is the PV arrays are electrical entities that need to be professionally installed by people with some knowledge of NEC requirements," Earley says.
Solomon says other ideas include the formation of an NFPA advisory committee on energy and green design issues. Such a group, Solomon says, would help NFPA sort out the appropriate areas for the organization to address in its codes and standards development area. He says the organization is also discussing the possibility of holding a green-related session at the NFPA Conference & Expo® in Las Vegas next June, with topics ranging from Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification and fire protection to training strategies for first responders who encounter PV arrays.
Steven Peck, of GRHC, says builders of vegetated roofs in the U.S. and Canada have so far looked primarily to the German FLL standards. (FLL in translation is called The Landscaping and Landscape Development Research Society.) FLL has produced design guidelines for issues such as plantings and drainage. Based on FLL data, Peck says, "A green roof will actually reduce the threat of fire because extensive green roof systems have a large degree of aggregate material, most of which is expanded shale, clay, and vermiculite, which does not burn." Likewise, healthy plants are largely resistant to fire, Peck says. "They don't really burn, they shrivel," he says. "There have been some green roofs that have caught fire, but in every case it was because of a lighted cigarette and only in the presence of dried grasses."
However, warns Fraser, if you look historically at building failures or fires, the vast majority are traceable to enforcement or compliance issues; the problem "is rarely the code itself," he says. Still, he adds, some of the potential danger in green roofs can be addressed by writing more specific language into codes to deal with evolving design practice, such as what's provided by FLL.
The industry responds Meanwhile, faced with the need to keep their members safe, two roofing industry groups, working in cooperation with green advocates, have gotten involved in the issue. According to Linda King, managing director of the Single Ply Roofing Institute (SPRI), her organization is working with Peck's group to devise "The Wind Design Standard for Vegetative Roofing Systems" and "The External Fire Design Standard for Vegetative Roofs," standards King hopes will eventually become part of the International Code Council's International Building Code. While there is general agreement among the groups that a standard is necessary, King says, the particulars of what should be included in such a document have yet to be determined. For example, although vegetative roofs have been used in Europe for a long time, there is little test data on their performance under high wind or fire conditions. Not surprisingly, roof system manufacturers, roofing contractors, building code representatives, and suppliers of the vegetative systems all have their own perspectives on what should and shouldn't be included in a standard. "Those standards are being balloted, and we are making progress toward handling the objections that you might expect a first-time standard would produce," King says.
Mark Graham, technical director at the NRCA, is concerned that the standards, proposed or otherwise, are not scientific enough. "There is definitely a need for the roofing industry to test" green roof materials and systems, he says. This past summer, NRCA sponsored wind-tunnel testing at Southern Illinois University to establish fundamental research relating to wind resistance of vegetated roofs. Concerns include both the possibility of roof uplift, particularly if a vegetated roof becomes dry and provides less weight on underyling roofing material, and the possibility that green roof material—vegetation and substrate—might become airborne. Graham says the work was completed in August and the results are still being analyzed.
Similarly, the insurer FM Global has initiated a green-roof fire-testing protocol it calls "Approval Standard for Vegetative Roof Systems." "We got into this because our building-owner customers asked us to, and because manufacturers of roofing systems asked us," explains George Smith, assistant vice president and director of FM Approvals, the product certification unit of FM Global. Smith says work started on the standard in April, and that a draft has been circulated within the industry. He expects it to be approved and finalized by the end of the year. Other insurers are taking a closer look at the issue, too. According to a report in the Journal of Commerce, a Canadian construction industry periodical, last year the UK branch of the Swiss insurance company Zurich announced that it now considers vegetated roofs to be a potential fire hazard, and that it will be more cautious when considering insuring such structures.
While the building and code communities look for ways to make green roofs safer, people across the country are becoming more interested in bringing a bit of greenness to their rooftops, especially in California, where both vegetated roofs and rooftop PV arrays are increasingly popular. A May press release from the office of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger notes that "California leads the nation with over 500 megawatts of installed solar at 50,000 different installations [and] has more than 60 percent of the nation's installed solar photovoltaic capacity." But according to a 2009 report by the Global Solar Center, an industry website, while California continues to be the leader in total solar installations, incentive programs around the country are helping other states narrow that lead. While that growth is spurring the code community to take a harder look at the related fire- and life-safety issues, Fraser offers a cautionary reminder that the code process moves slowly, especially compared to a marketplace trend that's suddenly seen as fashionable or otherwise desirable. "When you begin to change a code, it can still take six to 10 years before the change is reflected in new construction practice," Fraser says. But with research and training efforts related to green roofs on the rise, safety experts hope that the right message can be conveyed to the design and enforcement communities: plant your trees or install your PV arrays, but build and monitor them with safety in mind. The greenest rooftop is the safest rooftop.

SIDEBAR Case Study: PV Shock
According to Terry Keller, assistant chief of the Sedona, Arizona, Fire District, one of his firefighters had a potentially deadly encounter with a photovoltaic system while trying to extinguish a home fire.
According to information provided by Keller, the incident occurred June 10, 2008 at a 2,500-square-foot residence where a roof-mounted three-kilowatt PV system had recently been installed. The fire, which was later determined to have been started by an electrical cord under a bed, was "well established" when firefighters arrived. Once the main fire was knocked down, a smaller hand line was being operated by a few firefighters in the fenced backyard. According to Keller, one of the firefighters was sent back to the truck to retrieve a pike pole. On his way, he reached up and used his wet, gloved hands to grasp the top of the two chain-link fence posts on either side of the open gate. When he made contact with both posts, he was knocked to his knees by an electrical shock. Although he was able to recover his footing, he was transported to a local emergency room suffering from weakness and EKG changes. He returned to full duty the following day. Although both metered service from the electrical grid and from the PV system were secured prior to the firefighter's electrocution, department investigators believe that the conduit that housed the feed from the PV system on the roof, which ran along and under the eave line of the flat-roof structure, failed at a fitting where it negotiated one of the building corners. The supports for this metal conduit also failed, and allowed the melted and exposed wires to rest on top of the chain-link fence, which energized the fence with voltage from the PV array. Following this incident, the Sedona Fire District conducted training on PV system dangers. "We want to share this information as widely as possible," adds Keller. - Alan R. Earls
SIDEBAR Fuel is Fuel Responding to the fire service challenges of alternative energy NFPA and the Fire Protection Research Foundation (FPRF) are working to address some of the challenges emergency responders face when they encounter alternative fuel sources in the field. Three research projects-two ongoing, and one just completed-illustrate the range of that work.
"Reaching the U.S. Fire Service with Hydrogen Safety Information: A Roadmap" was funded through the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and the final report was issued in September. (To download a copy, visit www.nfpa.org/foundation.) This study provides an overview of the U.S. Fire Service to help improve the transfer of hydrogen safety information to and from the emergency response community. In particular, the report provides a roadmap of regulatory permitting and fire-service emergency response, and focuses on applicable new hydrogen-based applications, including hydrogen refueling stations and hydrogen back-up power installations such as those found at telecommunications facilities.
"Fire Fighter Safety and Emergency Response in Pre-Planning and Fireground Tactics for Alternative Energy Technologies" is one of two new projects just getting underway that involve the fire service and alternative energy. The project will study firefighter safety in the context of the widespread introduction of electric drive and electric hybrid vehicles, with a specific focus on emergency response to vehicle fires and accidents, including within structures, such as charging or docking applications. It will also study firefighter safety related to structural firefighting in the presence of solar (photovoltaic) panels. The goal of the one-year project is to assemble and disseminate best-practice tactical information for firefighters and fireground incident commanders when responding to emergency events. Funding is provided by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through a Fire Prevention & Safety Fire Grant.
"Emergency Responder Training for Advanced Electric Drive Vehicles," also just getting started, is part of a major recent federal initiative to accelerate the manufacturing and deployment of electric drive vehicles. To be effectively prepared for the widespread implementation of electric drive vehicles, emergency responders need accurate and timely training materials. As a result of this program, emergency responders will be able to safely manage incidents involving advanced electric vehicles. The goal of the project is to provide comprehensive awareness and emergency response training to the more than 1.1 million members of the U.S. fire service. This is a large, three-year project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.
Alternative energies hold great potential to improve our world. It's important that we continue to work closely with the emergency response community to make sure we address its interests and concerns.

[JURIST] Former Bosnia Serb General Ratko Mladic [BBC profile], who has been indicted [indictment] for war crimes, has agreed to turn himself over to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia [official website], in exchange for $5 million for his family and associates, according to the London Sunday Times. Mladic has been in hiding for 10 years, since the Srebrenica massacre [Domovina.net backgrounder] in Bosnia where more than 7,000 Muslim men and boys were killed by troops under Mladic's command as they tried to flee a UN "safe area." Though the Serbian government originally denied negotiations [JURIST report] were occurring, prosecutors appear to be willing to overlook the methods used to capture Mladic and worry that he may try to kill himself rather than surrendering. The Sunday Times has more.
[JURIST] Ali Hassan al-Majid, otherwise known in Western media as "Chemical Ali" [BBC profile], was questioned Thursday by an Iraqi tribunal preparing for the trials of the leaders of Saddam Hussein's regime. The Iraqi Special Tribunal (IST) [official website] released the tape publicly on Sunday. It was the third tape related to tribunal questioning [JURIST report] released by the IST this month. Ali was questioned about suppressing religious political parties and about the killings and detentions of the Fayli Kurds. Eight other senior officials have been questioned, including Taha Yassin Ramadan [BBC profile], Hussein's former vice-president, Abid Hamid Mahmud [BBC profile], Hussein's secretary, and others believed to be involved in the suppression of Shi'ite and Kurdish uprisings following the Gulf War. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Charges will not be brought against a US Army captain for allegedly ordering his subordinates to kill Iraqi insurgents in retaliation for an attack on a US base, the Army announced Friday. Captain Michael Cunningham was facing possible charges of solicitation of murder and involuntary manslaughter, but following the acquittal of one of Cunningham's subordinates [coverage of acquittal], a 4th Infantry Division spokesperson said the case had "lost prosecutorial merits." Prosecutors believed Cunningham gave subordinates a list of insurgents who were "not to come back alive" if they were found alive. Cunningham was also one of three officers reprimanded last year [JURIST report] for covering up an incident where an Iraqi man drowned after US soldiers forced him into a river for violating a curfew. AP has more.
[JURIST] An announcement allowing limited use of cameras in the UK Court of Appeal is expected shortly, according to an article in the Sunday Times. The decision to televise appellate proceedings comes after a six week pilot program [JURIST report] and a government consultation paper on court broadcasting. The appeal of a former city council leader from a misconduct conviction made legal history in 2004 as the first case in the UK to be filmed by TV cameras [BBC report]. Although the appeal was not televised, the footage was used for evaluation purposes. Supporters contend that televised proceedings will demystify the judicial system, while opponents fear sensationalism of proceedings and disruption of court work. In an effort to avoid problems which have developed in the United States, broadcast of UK trial proceedings will remain prohibited. The Sunday Times has more.
[JURIST] Hundreds of thousands of protesters converged on Madrid Saturday to protest proposed legislation that would recognize same sex marriage. The lower house of the Spanish Parliament [official website] approved the measure in April [JURIST report], and the Senate is expected to vote in upcoming weeks. Public response to the measure has been mixed. The Catholic Church [Spanish Catholic Bishops website, in Spanish] and Spains Popular Party [party website, in Spanish] have led opposition against the measure [JURIST report], while an opinion poll conducted by the Center for Sociological Investigations indicates 66 percent of Spaniards favor legalizing gay marriage. AP has more.
[JURIST] A leaked British Foreign and Commonwealth Office [official website] memorandum [text] published by the London Sunday Times indicates that British government ministers were forewarned by senior officials that the 2002 US and UK pre-war air strikes against Iraq were illegal under international law. According to the infamous Downing Street Memo [text] published by the Sunday Times in May, the air strikes were designed to provoke Saddam Hussein to retaliate in order to provide a justification for war. In 2002, the air space over Iraq was designated as a no-fly zone, with both the US and Britain authorized to patrol the area to enforce UN Security Resolution 688, however bombing began six months before the UN Security Council authorized the use of force under Resolution 1441 [text].

Harvey loses for 1st time this year

NEW YORK — Matt Harvey is beginning to know how Tom Seaver felt.
Aces of the New York Mets have to get used to a lack of run support.
Despite another outstanding start, Harvey lost for the first time this season. On an overcast afternoon at Citi Field when the rain held off, Adam Wainwright was a little bit better Thursday and pitched the St. Louis Cardinals to a 2-1 victory in a classic pitching matchup.
"If I go seven zeros, we're still playing the ballgame." Harvey said. "It's an incredible lineup. You really have to be locked in one through nine."
Harvey (5-1) gave up one run and five hits in seven innings with seven strikeouts and a walk, ending a 14-start unbeaten streak dating to Sept. 12 but lowering his ERA to 2.04.
"He's as good as you're going to face in the big leagues," said Matt Carpenter, who tripled in a run on a hanging curveball in the third. "He's got electric stuff."
Harvey had no-decisions in eight of his previous nine starts, and the Mets have scored just 18 runs while he's been in the game during his last 10 outings.
`You could tell that he's frustrated because ultimately he wants to win," Mets captain David Wright said. "He's pitched better than wins. He's gone out there doing a tremendous job."
New York has scored one run or none in seven of Harvey's 24 starts since his debut July 26. The Mets' offense fizzled similarly in 88 of 395 starts for Seaver, according to STATS.
"You look at a guy who four more runs, is probably 8-0, 9-0 coming in today," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "When you pitch as well as he has and you're unable to win some games, it can be frustrating, especially for a young guy who's trying to make an impact in this league."
Harvey opened impressively, striking out Carlos Beltran for the second out of the game with three 97 mph fastballs and topping out at 98. He shook off a second-inning comebacker by Yadier Molina that struck him on the left foot.
"He's doing a great job pitching and not just throwing," Wainwright said.
Wainwright (10-3) became the major leagues' first 10-game winner, allowing four hits in seven scoreless innings with six strikeouts and two walks. He got his 1,000th strikeout when Wright was called out on a first-inning curveball and retired his first 11 batters before Wright's single.
Known best in New York for freezing Beltran with a called third strike to end Game 7 of the 2006 NL championship series, Wainwright had been 0-4 with an 8.46 ERA in four starts against the Mets since his only career win against them, in St. Louis on April 18, 2010.
"I had everybody in the world tell me I had never beat the Mets at their stadium, so it was something I wanted to do," Wainwright said.
St. Louis forced Harvey out of the game in the seventh. With a runner on second and two outs, Kirk Nieuwenhuis was intentionally walked despite an 0-for-19 slide to bring up Harvey's spot in the batting order. Pinch-hitter Justin Turner grounded out on a slow roller to third baseman Daniel Descalso.
"Obviously, getting Harvey out of the game was something that was on our mind," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said.
New York's bullpen gave up a run in the eighth, when Carpenter and Beltran singled off Scott Rice, and Matt Holliday and Allen Craig singled against LaTroy Hawkins.
Marlon Byrd hit a long home run off Edward Mujica with one out in the ninth. John Buck doubled and took third as Nieuwenhuis grounded to Carpenter, who made a diving backhand stop as he fell and threw to first for the out.
"When it was hit, I thought he had a good chance of getting a base hit up the middle." Carpenter said.
Pinch-hitter Josh Satin fouled off two full-count pitches and swung over a splitter as Mujica remained perfect in 19 save chances.
"Today I didn't do my job and put up zeros, and I get the loss," Harvey said.
His next scheduled start is during Tuesday's day-night doubleheader at Atlanta, when right-hander Zack Wheeler is to make his major league debut for the Mets. The highly touted Wheeler, a Georgia native, was making his last minor league outing for Triple-A Las Vegas against Tacoma later Thursday.
"There's so much hype with this guy," Collins said. "It's even more than when Matt was going to pitch (for the first time) last year. He's going to pitch in Atlanta. It's an away game for us, it may be a home game for him, since he's from 50 miles away."
NOTES: The Mets started the same lineup and batting order from Nos. 1-8 in three straight games for the first time since April 23-26, 2011, STATS said. .. New York was 0 for 4 with runners in scoring position, dropping to 3 for 39 (.077) on the homestand and 27 for 173 (.156) in their last 24 home games.
