A presentation on a possible update to the Sheridan General Plan will be considered by the Placer County Board of Supervisors at its regular meeting on Tue., May 8, 2012.
The Sheridan General Plan was originally adopted in 1976 and encompasses 2.6 square miles. The Plan provides assumptions, goals and objectives which provide the county and Sheridan residents and businesses with policy guidance about the physical development of the Plan area. However, the 1976 Plan has done little to affect development, largely due to infrastructure constraints associated with drinking water and treated sewage.
Placer County Facilities Services is currently upgrading the public water system. Wastewater treatment services have been upgraded in the past few years and have added about 70 new connections to the system.
"We have not revisited the Sheridan Community Plan in more than 35 years," said Supervisor Robert Weygandt, whose Second District encompasses Sheridan. "It is an opportune time to review the Plan to better meet the needs of the community."
Placer County staff will present the Supervisors three potential options for Plan upgrade work and will seek direction on how to proceed. Reasons for the Plan's upgrade include:
The meeting, which will be held in Board Chambers, 175 Fulweiler Ave., in Auburn, begins at 9 a.m. To see the meeting agenda, please click on this link: AGENDA.

The 1200 Cub Cadet restoration is coming along nicely. I've found the majority of my vibration issues, and have resolved a number of other things.
One of the things that bothers me is that ding-danged fuel shut off that is so hard to get to with the side covers on. I have a remedy in mind. I just need some help from you.
My fuel shutoff appears to be original with the push-pull black button. Is this button threaded, and if so, what is the thread size? I plan on making a rock shaft and lever that can be accessed just by opening the hood. Push the lever to pull open the valve, pull the lever to close the valve. Just that simple.
As always, thanks for the help. You all have been indispensable with this project.
Yes, I've been taking photos as I go along. I will present them shortly. Though, I am leaning towards no decals even though I bought them. This tractor looks so good as it is. I can't believe I'm the one who did the major part of the restoration. That electrolysis tank really helped me out big time!

Midrash: The Dirt to Fill in the Holes
We all are familiar with the concepts of oral Torah and written Torah . . . but are we really? How do you fit in that line of tradition and transmission? This opening session will focus on figuring out where we stand and what we can do to keep that chain unbroken and learn what it means to actually dig deep within the text and pull out the ikar and the sod.
October 17 and October 24, 2007
Will Noah's Wife Please Stand Up?
Every word in the Torah counts. Nothing is superfluous, and each letter and each word has significance. It would seem that the Torah doesn't tell us anything about Noah's wife . . . or does it? Let's trace the clues together—and determine if the rabbis of the midrash and commentary are wrong, right, both, or neither!
October 31 and November 7, 2007
A Pillar of What? Why?
Cruel and unusual punishment. We cannot charge God with such an offense, but that is what it would seem. Lot's wife turns into a pillar of salt, but what is the real background story? What is the behind-the-scenes story? And most important of all: did she deserve it?
November 14 and November 28, 2007
I Know a Guy Who Knows a Guy . . .
Joseph lost his way, but then he found a Man in the Field. Who was that man? What does that man's identity tell us about God? What does it tell us about how things might have been different? How can we use the many tools of midrash and hermeneutics to determine the identity of the Ish BaSadeh?
December 5 and December 12, 2007
Likely Conspirators
Bigtan and Teresh are the leastdiscussed cameos in Megilat Esther. And yet, even they, too, have a back-story. What does the rereading of this story as it should be read (rated R and adults-only) reveal about the real Bigtan and Teresh?
December 19, 2007, and January 9, 2008
More Midrash for the Seder
You probably know someone named Shifrah, but how about Puah? Why do you think that is? Who were these important and righteous women? What did they do to merit a legacy of remembrance by all future generations? And of course, this will be a wrap-up of the semester and how to turn all of this learning into teaching.
January 16, 2008
Where Do We Go From Here? Wrap-up.
We will spend this session using all of the tools we've learned this year and work in havruta on some previously unseen texts. We will do our own midrash and see how it weighs against the solutions suggested over the centuries. Following this session, each student will feel comfortable approaching both a page of Tanakh and of midrash and making sense of the "true" story.

An East Chatham woman has been charged with attempted first-degree murder after police said she and another woman beat an 82-year-old man who accidentally hit one of them with his car.
Sophia M. Body, 28, of the 8100 block of South Maryland, is also charged with aggravated battery. Cook County Judge Adam Bourgeois ordered her held in lieu of $2 million bail Sunday.
Her alleged victim, meanwhile, told the Chicago Sun-Times he's out of the hospital and expects to recover from the attack.
"I got out of my car to help, not to offend no one," Isaac Tucker said. "But when I got out of my car I was attacked, and I was stabbed several times in the back."
Assistant State's Attorney Elizabeth Dibler said Body and another woman, who had not yet been charged Sunday afternoon, were crossing the street on foot Thursday night when Tucker turned right on 79th. He later told officers the two women flagged him down, according to a police report.
But Dibler said the man accidentally struck one of the women with his car. Tucker said he thought he hit a man — though he didn't see anyone in his way — and pulled over.
"Next thing I know I got a punch," Tucker said.
Dibler said the women pulled Tucker out of his car and began to kick and punch him. She said the beating lasted about 10 minutes.
"I was stabbed several times in the back and stomped and everything else," Tucker said.
He said he fell unconscious and woke up in the ambulance. He'd been stabbed in the head multiple times, Dibler said, and when police found him he was bleeding from the right side of his head and had lacerations on his upper and lower back.
Police reports show he was taken to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County in stable condition.
Officers recovered a yellow-handled Stanley screwdriver at the scene they believe was used to stab Tucker.
Officers viewed surveillance video of the attack from a nearby minimart, according to police reports, and Body allegedly admitted to her role in the beating.
"Yeah, I pulled his a-- out the car and beat the f--- out of him," Body allegedly told police.

PLATTSBURGH — A generous gesture by a local business will ensure a special Christmas for a number of families.
Plattsburgh Kmart Office Manager Darcy Case said the anonymous business owner came in Friday morning, wanting to pay off all the layaways that included items for children.
Store employees took out the documents and went through the layaway notices, calculating which involved gifts for kids. The total amount came to $2,500.
The business paid that off — and when a shopper came up to the service desk to take care of her $300 layaway bill, the owner covered that, too.
Case said the business wanted to make the payments anonymously, so she could not release the name.
Store employees starting phoning customers with layaways to tell them what had happened.
"When I called one man to tell him, before I could explain the situation, he started begging me not to return the items to the shelf," Case said.
He told her he had worked several days of overtime so he could pay off his $600 in presents before Christmas.
"When I told him it was paid, he started crying," Case said.

"Wanna grow up to be, be a debaser" - The Pixies. Another one of the "chain" routes, Debaser sits just right of Vitamin H. The rock fall of 1998 supposedly improved the quality of the lower section of Debaser. With its large roof at 2/3 height, Debaser involves a little more power than some of the other Arsenal routes. But the difficulties don't stop after the roof so keep punching it to the anchors. Oh, and leave your knee-pad at home because it won't be of much use on this one (I did get a nice butt-scum at one point. I may have to develop rubber C-4 underwear). P.S.: You can traverse left at the large roof onto Vitamin H to climb a variation called Vitamin D (12d).
In-situ chain draws.
Yo Adam, there is a useful kneescum... to bump to the first huge sloper with the right hand in the roof. It is the arsenal right?
Dr. Lee, I presume. Only you would need a kneescum, to avoid undue stress on your injury-prone tendons.
Adam, that other Christopher Lee ain't me. I finally signed on as Dr. Chris Lee. I toyed with The Real Chris Lee but didn't want to upset my co-named reviewer :)
Way harder than Pumporama.
Easier than Pumporama.
Beta on the face just after the roof is key. I got a glorious send on this last route of the last day. Really worth it. I miss Rifle!
Exactly right, Adam, the name is in reference to the song Debaser by the band The Pixies from the album Doolittle (1989). Jim Hall was a big fan of theirs, and he turned me on to them. I saw them in November of 1989 at the Boulder Theater. My wife broke her foot moshing in the pit at that show when some huge dude in combat boots stomped on it.

Once youre in the news business, youre never really out of the news business. Which is why Im still obsessed with the news business.
Ive been paying a lot of attention to advertising signs and billboards while on the road lately. I dont text and drive during my frequent travels, but I do take the occasional peek at the signs along the way.
Isnt it funny how we obsess over the little things?
I was lamenting times passage the other day in a Facebook post, about how a person seems to have all the time in the world when he has nothing to look forward to, but the moment you find someone you really like and would love to spend all your time with, somebody upstairs hits the fast forward button and before you know it, your times up, shes …
Im clumsy. Awkward. A klutz. Always have been.
It is well documented that I am not a handyman.
I hate heat, so this is not my favorite season. Actually, in South Carolina we have only two seasons: Hot, and Christmas. Its not Christmas.
We live in a pastoral little hamlet, Widdle Baby and I.
The defiant cry of outrage, Im not going to take this lying down! you all have heard before.
Life as I know it has become manifested in the dim, blinking brake lights in the distance, having left me behind.
I have to stop watching HGTV. Its giving me a complex.
Never let it be said that Im not a sentimental guy.
Last year it was the Summer of Monopoly a golf shirt the color of every street on a Monopoly board.
Remember the mean kids in high school? The ones who did mean stuff to impress their mean friends, then laughed about it, because they were mean?
In my defense, it looked cool and refreshing. Cool as in temperature wise, not style, and refreshing, as in maybe a little aromatic relief from this ridiculous heat.
Theres never a dull moment at Crazy Acres.
Thanks to Facebook, I know now which Brady Bunch kid Id be, what kind of dog I am and how long I would survive a zombie apocalypse. (Jan, beagle and forevermy husband is handy with a shotgun, and I swing a mean cast iron skillet. I think wed be OK. You thought I was going to say I dont believe in zombies, didnt you?)
I drive a lot between here and Atlanta, sometimes twice in a month.
This is an update on my very first Fanfare for the Common Man column titled An Ode to Jeffrey.
Id like to thank all who have written, called, visited, emailed and texted since my mothers death. Youve soothed me and made me remember the good times. Some of you posed interesting questions. So, here are the answers and a few memories you might enjoy.
A look at some news recent and not so much that made me shake my head
Its a sad statement about a mans life when he has a Top Five List of Stupid Things Hes Done.
You might notice I no longer sit while covering sporting events.
My mother had a small head. I know that because Im wearing her floppy sun hat. Im wearing her floppy sun hat because she left it to me when she …
I got my hand stuck in my guitar.
I love my husband, and he loves me. But there are things about himand men in generalthat leave me stumped.

With the NHL lockout in its second day, the members of the league's players association have been left to their own devices to continue training for the 2012-13 season, whenever and wherever that ultimately ends up being. For some, that means signing contracts with foreign teams overseas. For others, it means remaining in North America training at their team's practice rinks.
Since the players are locked out, they are not allowed to use the teams' facilities (weight rooms, locker rooms, etc). However, they are allowed to rent the ice just like any regular citizen can, which is what several groups of players are doing.
Scott Hartnell of the Philadelphia Flyers rented out the ice surface at the team's practice facility in Voorhees, New Jersey every day this week so that he and a group of his teammates could continue training. Eight members of the Washington Capitals followed suit as did several members of the Florida Panthers and a contingent of Tampa Bay Lightning players rented out the club's practice rink at the Ice Sports Forum.
Toronto Maple Leafs all-star forward Phil Kessel was seen carrying his own laundry out of a public locker room during an informal practice on Tuesday. While renting ice time and doing their own laundry isn't a problem for the players, they hope they won't have to do it for too long.
Via NBC Washington:
"It's obviously weird, but going into it, we knew that if something didn't get done, this was going to be our life for hopefully just a little bit," forward Jay Beagle said, bucket of pucks lying next to his feet. "It's not a surprise that we've got to carry our own pucks and waters and rent our own ice, but obviously, it's not ideal."

Get bird-friendly garden tips
Sitta canadensis
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
aka heehaw
An intense bundle of energy at your feeder, Red-breasted Nuthatches are tiny, active birds of north woods and western mountains. These long-billed, short-tailed songbirds travel through tree canopies with chickadees, kinglets, and woodpeckers but stick to tree trunks and branches, where they search bark furrows for hidden insects. Their excitable yank-yank calls sound like tiny tin horns being honked in the treetops.
A small, compact bird with a sharp expression accentuated by its long, pointed bill. Red-breasted Nuthatches have very short tails and almost no neck; the body is plump or barrel-chested, and the short wings are very broad.
Red-breasted Nuthatches are blue-gray birds with strongly patterned heads: a black cap and stripe through the eye broken up by a white stripe over the eye. The underparts are rich rusty-cinnamon, paler in females.
Red-breasted Nuthatches move quickly over trunks and branches probing for food in crevices and under flakes of bark. They creep up, down, and sideways without regard for which way is up, and they don't lean against their tail the way woodpeckers do. Flight is short and bouncy.
Red-breasted Nuthatches are mainly birds of coniferous woods and mountains. Look for them among spruce, fir, pine, hemlock, larch, and western red cedar as well as around aspens and poplars. In northeastern North America you can also find them in forests of oak, hickory, maple, birch, and other deciduous trees.
The Red-breasted Nuthatch is the only North American nuthatch with an eyestripe, and the only one with extensive rusty or cinnamon on the underparts. It is smaller and stubbier than the White-breasted Nuthatch. Pygmy Nuthatches of the West and Brown-headed Nuthatches of the Southeast are smaller, with brown head. Brown Creepers have much longer tails and are much browner and much less agile than nuthatches. The Black-and-white Warbler forages along main trunks and branches, but is heavily streaked all over, without the solid gray back or rusty underparts of a Red-breasted Nuthatch.
Feeders are a great way to attract Red-breasted Nuthatches to your yard. They particularly like large seeds like sunflower and peanuts, as well as suet and peanut butter. Planting coniferous trees in your yard may provide shelter and foraging opportunities for Red-breasted Nuthatches in coming years.
You can find Red-breasted Nuthatches by listening for their nasal, yammering call or for the sounds of a foraging flock of chickadees and other birds: nuthatches are often in attendance. Look along trunks and branches of trees for a bird wandering up, down, and sideways over the bark, and keep your eyes peeled for the Red-breasted Nuthatch's bold black-and-white face pattern.

In Daviess County, major safety improvements are coming to a highway.
Drivers say they are looking forward to the realignment of Kentucky 144 near Pleasant Valley Road.
The one mile stretch of Highway 144 near Pleasant Valley Road has a lot of car accidents. The state says the reconstruction of the eight curves on the highway will improve safety and driving.
Phillip west takes Highway 144 to work almost every single day.
"I leave about 4:30 in the morning and by the time I get down to those 's' curves, I'm battling the semi trucks that come through here on the curves," West said.
West says drivers are traveling too fast around the curves.
"When they're hauling and I'm doing the speed limit, I have to slow down so I can make the curve because they are cutting off into the curve," he said.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet held a meeting at East View Elementary School for the public to ask questions about the project and its design.
"The one that is preferred right now will cost $2.1 million total," said Keith Todd with the KYTC. "The thinking is that it will take the least about of property from neighbors along the route."
Construction will begin in two years and West says he can't wait.
"It will probably be a whole lot safer for everyone who travels through here."
If you missed Tuesday night's meeting and you have questions or comments about the project, you can still send them to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet until December 19th.

West Yorkshire Police chief's £3.6m boost saves 120 PCSO jobs
12:52pm Friday 7th March 2014 in News By Claire Lomax
The jobs of more than 100 police community support officers across the Bradford district have been saved by a £3.6 million cash boost.
West Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Mark Burns-Williamson, has pledged to pay an extra £2.9m, supported by £770,000 from Bradford Council's coffers, for the next two years to preserve 120 PCSOs – more than half of the number in the district – whose position had been threatened by budget cuts.
The money is on top of £17.8m Mr Burns-Williamson pledged last month to keep the current level of PCSOs throughout West Yorkshire until 2016.
The new cash injection will protect the level of police community support officers, currently at 211, in the district for the next two years.
An agreement has been reached between Mr Burns-Williamson and Bradford Council leader David Green to increase his funding by 30 per cent a year, taking the Police and Crime Commissioner's total contribution to £2,898,984.
Bradford Council has pledged £770,616 a year to the fund.
Mr Burns-Williamson said it was a positive move.
"Protecting our communities is a priority and this is a massive step in the right direction of sustainable policing as we all remain committed to preventing and tackling crime and making communities safer and feeling safer," he said.
"I welcome the support of Bradford Council in protecting front-line policing. I understand the challenges that the Council faces. The police service alone is being cut by £152m to 2016/17.
"This means we have to find smarter, more innovative ways of working together in our communities."
Councillor Imran Hussain, deputy leader of Bradford Council, said: "Community safety is a top priority, so we are pleased to come to an agreement with the Police and Crime Commissioner for West Yorkshire that will ensure we have a strong presence of Police Community Support Officers in the district.
"People want to feel safe, both in their homes and when they are out and about on the streets, so pledging funding for PCSOs means we can continue to receive the excellent protection they have delivered."

Hardening PHP: How to securely include remote code (part 1) (part 2) (part 3)
Session Puzzling and Session Race Conditions
A Systematic Analysis of XSS Sanitization in Web Application Frameworks (PDF)
Local Session Hijacking in PHP
Local Session Snooping in PHPQuote:
PHP's default session handler stores session data in files. And by default these files are placed in /tmp. In a shared enviroment session files should never be placed in a directory that can be read by a malicious local user like the world readable /tmp directory.
Local Session Poisoning in PHP Part 1: The Basics of Exploitation and How to Secure a ServerQuote:
Local session snooping is not as much a security issue as a way of gathering information from an already compromised web application. Unless it is a badly configured shared host where an attacker might gather otherwise unobtainable information. It's basically about extracting all the information a web application stored in the super global $_SESSION variable.
Local Session Poisoning in PHP Part 2: Promiscuous Session FilesQuote:
Session poisoning is the act of manipulating sessions specific data in PHP. To add, change or remove variables stored in the super global $_SESSION array.
Local session poisoning is enabled by the fact that one web application can manipulate a variable in the $_SESSION array while another web application has no way of knowing how that variable's value came to be, and will interpret the variable according to its own logic. The $_SESSION array can then be manipulated to contain the values needed to spoof a logged in user or exploit a vulnerable function. PHP programmers put far more trust in $_SESSION variables than for example $_GET variables. The $_SESSION array is considered an internal variable, and an internal variable would never contain malicious input, would it?
Local Session Poisoning in PHP Part 3: Bypassing Suhosin's Session EncryptionQuote:
FastCGI, suPHP and suExec can all ensure that a PHP script which is called from the web will execute under the user that owns it, as opposed to the user the web server is running as. This seemingly protects against session poisoning by ensuring that a malicious user no longer can open and manipulate session files owned by other users in a shared host.
The hidden pitfall is that while these protection mechanisms protect session files from unauthorized access, they can not prevent a user from authorizing others to access its session files. If all the session files are stored in a common folder it is trivial to trick a web application into loading session variables from a promiscuous session file.
By default Suhosin transparently encrypts session files stored by PHP. This seems to be adequate protection against local session poisoning in a shared hosting environment. But let's take a closer look.
Nice collection of article links!
As a CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker)), I'm aware of cross-site scripting, SQL-injection attacks, etc., but, aside from properly coding your scripts (e.g., checking submitted values), the MOST important thing to do is to use STRONG passwords. Get more information (and use the tool) at StongPasswordGenerator.com.
Recent threads have asked about SESSIONs and SESSION hijacking so I've posted links to:
- the Electronic Frontier Foundation
- their paper on browser uniqueness
- their article (How Online Tracking Companies Know Most of What You Do Online (and What Social Networks Are Doing to Help Them)) and
- the PC World article (http://www.pcworld.com/article/19264...cy_threat.html)
The point of these is two-fold:
- You can gather an immense amount of useful information from every visitor (include your use in your Privacy Policy statement) and
- You can use the information gathered to validate a SESSION (to prevent SESSION hijacking)
As a CEH, I urge every member to look at each of the above links as they're essential to managing information and website security. While you're at it, REread the articles about coding PHP securely, too!
I had responded to a member's request for steps to combat and recover from a "Hack Attack" and it seemed better to add it to this sticky thread:
1. Immediatly delete all FTP access except one (master for the account).
2. Change the master password (cPanel and FTP) to a VERY STRONG one using an http://strongpasswordgenerator.com password of sufficient length.
3. Use maldet scans (on an Apache server) which find and report all forms of malware (viruses, worms and SCRIPTS which can cause problems). This will enable you to find and remove scripts which can be embedded in html, php and js scripts. Repeat the maldet scans until there are no files detected then add a CRON to run maldet scans on a regular basis. Be aware that recovery will primarily consist of DELETING all html, php and js files and replacing them with originals (from your master copies).
4. Additionally, I use a CRON to SHA1 hash verify that files have remain unchanged over the last xx hours for "peace of mind." I created and use the script shown at http://www.sitepoint.com/detect-hack...s-via-cronphp/ but would recommend that NO file extensions be listed so that, if a hacker were to inject a file with an extension you don't use, it'll be picked up in the scan, too. Just heed the advice about keeping your hackscan.php file out of the webspace and note the regular intervals in the e-mails provided to you.
5. Database: If you are running WordPress or the like (database verification for admin accounts), create a new admin and delete all other admin records.
6. Uploaded files: Be sure to do a thorough check of any file uploaded to your website (I limit uploaded files to images and they are recreated and resized by GD before being saved to my "webspace").
7. Update all "canned scripts" (e.g., WP, Zencart, etc.) AND their plug-ins and be sure that they're kept updated in order to prevent further attacks via security problems discovered in those scripts.
There is a place for penetration testing (with a tool like BackTrack) but it is something best left to the sysadmins of your host (or a security professional if you own your server). In fact, you must not use those tools or techniques on others' servers because you will be identified as a hacker, your IP address will be blocked and you will be reported to authorities for prosecution. The anti-hacking laws are beginning to be enforced and you will (and should) be harshly punished.

And as the addagag goes "You sure do get what you pay for", it was sure proven here. We're glad that we had a suite with a balcony because at least it made the room nice to come back to. However, when we first got to our room my husband looked around and it looked like it hadn't been dusted in days.
Embarkation was not a problem. Liked that the ship left from NY and that made it easy for us since we live there. Disembarkation, we didn't do the self-assist, we didn't get of the ship until 9:30 a.m. and then trying to get a cab was a joke (that was not very well organized by the port staff). Next cruise, regardless of who we cruise with, we will definitely stick to the self-assist option.
We weren't crazy about the ship. The decor was to heavy and dark.
Food: considering that this is an important part of time on the ship, the food was AWFUL. Not many options, the layout of the buffet was cumbersome, nothing was central, and by the time you found a table your food was cold. The Main Dinning Room (MDR) wasn't any better. We went there 2 times for brunch which was okay and out of the seven nights only ate in there two times. As for room service options...that was laughable.
If you want to go on cruise and not eat....this is it baby.
The excursions were alot of fun and the highlights of our trip. Thank goodness we had great weather...just a few showers but nothing that would put a damper on things. The weather and the great time we had in the ports we visited were the saving grace for this trip.
I highly doubt that we will ever cruise on carnival again.

Term Assignment Submission Deadlines
We, the students of Columbia Southern would like to refute the term assignment submission policy changes. We would like two requests to be honored. The first request is that the Sunday submission deadline be reinstated. Also we request that in the future email surveys should be distributed to the student body before policy changes that greatly affect the student body are made. As working professionals we prefer Sunday submission deadlines. We wanted our voices to heard loud and clear in protest of this policy change. We are optimistic that a medium can be reached.

Last Thursday, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) launched a new facility designed to develop and harmonize interoperability between electric vehicles and the electric charging infrastructure.
Agreed to in November, 2011, the EV-Smart Grid Interoperability Center at Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Ill., works in concert with the two other interoperability facilities of its kind in Ispra, Italy and The Netherlands, to create global standards and develop technology from the source of the energy all the way down the line to the residential user.
"[Interoperability Centers] are a gateway to adopting standards and policies that will expand the use of EVs on the road," said Eric Isaacs, Director of Argonne.
Interoperability means the electrification of vehicles, such as in hybrids, plug in hybrids, and straight evs, can be managed by the power grid without any inconvenience to the end user. The promotional literature states: "Interoperability supports the ideal of universal charging…any plug-in electric vehicle…any electric vehicle supply equipment…anywhere…anytime."
The Centers establish and develop a system that is followed all through the product life cycle of an electrified vehicle, incorporating applications from auto manufacturers, parts suppliers, public and private charging equipment, power sources, government and consumers.
The green-tie affair in southwest suburban Lemont was a picture of connectivity and harmony, from keynote EU and DOE dignitaries to demonstrations and panels from members of the Big Three automakers, to the energy industry reps to manufacturers in the electronic supply chain. And a whole party of engineers.
Engineers get knocked for their communication skills, yet the minds at the Interoperability Centers are essentially creating a language to be shared by everyone in the twisted net of energy supply, auto manufacturing and policy making, three massive organizations with its own complex, jargon-filled language. That's just in the United States. Add the 29 member countries of the European Commission, the prospect of China, and you're dealing with one of the most complex organisms in mankind. The kind that only an engineer could standardize.
If you've ever travelled abroad, you know how problematic outlets and adapters and amps and Hertz and volts and watts can be. Even at home, there are different chargers for different devices. Imagine the same charging inconsistencies with a $40,000 piece of technology.
"The issue is harmonization and interoperability, not necessarily having all the same thing," explained Phyllis Yoshida, the DOE's Deputy Assistant Secretary for Europe, Asia and the Americas.
Currently there are three competing EV charging standards: CHADeMO is a DC quick charge protocol originated in Japan and found in the Nissan Leaf, Mitsubishi MiEV and a few others; the SAE Combo Coupler used by U.S. and European automakers (and the Interoperability Center) incorporates AC Level 1, Level 2 and DC quick charging; then there's Tesla, out in Elonland.
Each standard has its proponents. "From a communications standpoint, the combo coupler can do a lot of smart energy management with that communication protocol," explained Jason Harper, an electrical engineer in the Center for Transportation Research at Argonne. CHADeMo is only for DC charging, so it would need another communication protocol to communicate with a smart grid.
Mass adoption of electric vehicles would require intensive energy management.
This is where the smart grid comes in. The smart grid essentially means energy management. If you were to look out your backyard or alley, you'd probably see a wire leading from your house to a utility pole with a bigger wire. In residential areas that bigger wire connects to a transformer that supplies power to say 12 houses, depending on where you live and the density of housing. An electric vehicle makes great demand on power supply, much more than refrigeration or air conditioning. So if one person in your web is charging his EV, it's not a problem. But if the EV market continues to grow, as expected and as promoted by the European Union, the United States and the biggest market in the world, China, then the grid will be correspondingly taxed. So neighbor Bob can charge his car now with no problem, but what will happen if three or five homes that share your transformer are charging at the same time?
The Interoperability Centers are addressing this question now so it's not a problem later.
"Interoperability will provide standardized devices that are capable of functioning with each other," said Keith Hardy, Director of the U.S. EV-Smart Grid Interoperability Center at Argonne.
The devices that tell us how much energy is left in our charge, or how much it would cost to charge a car off-peak or at peak demand, will be the same. A smart grid app on your smart phone (hasn't "smart phone" gone the way of the "world wide web"?) can show your battery charge, time to end of charge, range left on battery and the ComEd real price of electricity at that moment. If too many cars are charging at the same time, you'll be notified that you've reached "branch load," explained Hardy. Price can go up, or energy can be redirected in a process called load management, which can save money versus an infrastructure upgrade. It creates an open transaction between supplier and user: you can charge up at peak times and pay more. Or, if you're not using your EV at peak times, you can sell back that energy into the grid, then recharge later at night to save a buck. It's like day trading.
"The goal is to align communication as close as possible so everyone knows there will be an open market with free competition," said Giovanni De Santi, Director of the Interoperability Center in Italy.
With load management, energy becomes an open market commodity where purchasers can make the most informed decision. Smart. Efficient.
This will in turn enable the deregulated energy service providers like ComEd in Illinois or Southern California Edison in Southern California to speak the same language to the same devices that are monitoring and managing energy flow.
The smart grid will also utilize massive energy production coming from intermittent, renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. The uniformity in technological language, how devices speak to each other, and storing and delivering energy from intermittent sources, are best managed by a smart grid. Matched by industry, the DOE has pumped $4.5 billion into smart grid development and boosted the EV industry.
"None of the alternative fuel sources can get you as far [as electrics]," said the DOE's Phyllis Yoshida, who was quick to point out the Administration's support of all alternative fuels. "The central key is some electrification of all the cars."
The DOE has four stated goals in supporting electrification: Energy independence; reduced petroleum consumption; reduced greenhouse gas emissions; improved fuel economy."You're going to be using less energy per car," said Hardy. "But you don't want to impact the grid negatively."

California gas prices are starting to soar again, as the excise tax is expected to drive the price per gallon of gas up 3-and-a-half cents higher.
This excise tax, signed into law by former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and approved by the State Board Of Equalization raised the tax on a single gallon to cost 39.5 cents once the ten percent increase hits drivers on July 1st.
The initiative of excise tax passed in 2010, requires an adjustment every year in March.
The additional money taken from that extra 3.5 cents per gallon starting July 1st will go toward California road repairs and transit projects.
The Golden State charges the fifth highest average price per gallon of regular unleaded gas — $4.14 was logged in Southern California alone this June.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill -- Bloomington Senator Bill Brady spoke Thursday in Springfield, proposing a new way of funding the Barack Obama Presidential Library.
Republicans have opposed efforts by Democrats to allocate $100 million for a presidential library for Barack Obama.
Senator Brady says if Illinois residents want an Obama Library, they could pay for it by donating a portion of their tax refund to a building fund.
"These aren't required taxpayer dollars, these are voluntary, which makes it a win-win scenario," Brady said. "We do this for various other things, like cervical cancer research, memorials and other things. So, it's a win-win that doesn't strip much needed taxpayer dollars."
Brady's bill comes on the heels of a House committee approval to spend $100 million on an Obama library.


text: This has been a bounce-back season for Lions CB Eric Wright. Benched in Cleveland in 2010, he's fit in nicely with Detroit. He has equaled his career high in interceptions (four) and has defended a career-best 15 passes for a Lions defense that's improved against the pass compared to a season ago. Although he noticeably struggled in the loss to New Orleans in Week 13, it was his lone subpar game of the season, as a daily team observer noted. In the Lions' Week 14 win over Minnesota, Wright played through a hamstring injury, intercepted an errant Christian Ponder pass and later earned praise from Gunther Cunningham for his toughness. Some other good news for a Lions secondary that's had some significant injury concerns of late: CB Alphonso Smith stepped up with two interceptions in the win vs. the Vikings. A hot-and-cold ballhawk, Smith was hampered by a foot injury during the summer and fell down the depth chart, but he responded well in extended minutes vs. the Vikings.

Blazers 92, Heat 90
Those who stayed up late on the east coast were treated to a dandy of a game. (Note: that does not include me, I watched the end this morning). In a literal sense, the game was decided because Wesley Matthews hit a contested three and Ray Allen and Mario Chalmers missed wide-open threes. You could say the Blazers were lucky to win and I wouldn't really argue with you.
That said, there were several sequences that happened in the fourth quarter that indicated a lack of focus on Miami's part. For one thing, they let the Blazers get into the penalty very early with a lot of reach-in fouls. Portland missed a lot of the ensuing free throws, but they also got a lot of cheap points at the line, which aided their comeback.
For another, there were also a couple maddening breakdowns that led to Blazers points that helped narrow the gap. Why is Dwyane Wade throwing this pass?
That led to a game-tying three-point play. Later, Ray Allen forgets about Batum and surrenders an offensive rebound.
Those plays cost the Heat five points. Those five points ended up making a huge difference.
Also, the Heat's pressure defense, as discussed Wednesday, again hurt them in the fourth quarter a couple times. On this play, the conscious call to have Chris Bosh aggressively double-team the ball-handler leads to an open three for Batum.
Because Bosh is hedging hard on ball-handler Damian Lillard, someone needs to account for LaMarcus Aldridge rolling to the rim. Miami's scheme calls for the defender in the strongside corner, in this case Mike Miller, to do that. In doing so, though, Miami surrenders a wide-open three for Batum, Portland's best three-point shooter. The idea is to force the ball-handler to turn it over, but if that doesn't happen, you see things like this:
That's another three points that ended up costing the Heat. Sure, the Heat missed two wide-open threes that would have won the game, but with better concentration, they never would have been in that position.
Possibly the least-surprising result of the calendar year in the NBA. Without Carmelo Anthony, J.R. Smith took about a hundred shots, making 10. Paul George continued his rise to all-star status with 24 points, 11 rebounds and six steals. The game itself was incredibly ugly and more lopsided than the five-point margin suggests because of Indiana's stifling defense and slow pace. There's really no reason to waste more time on this one.
There's never a good time to blow a 17-point lead at home and lose to a bad team, but considering all the relocation drama, this result was especially rough.

DECATUR, Ala. (WZDX) - Downtown Decatur will now have an official Entertainment District. That decision was made Monday night by the City Council. The group voted unanimously to establish the district, which encompasses 2nd Avenue and Bank Street, after a short public hearing in which no one spoke against the proposal.
Representatives from the Decatur Chamber of Commerce and the Convention and Visitor's Bureau spoke in favor of the change which they, and many local business owners, say will only help further the redevelopment of the area. With the establishment of the area, people will now be able to purchase an alcoholic beverage inside a local restaurant and carry it outside onto the city sidewalks.
The drinks will be served in paper or plastic cups which can be no larger than 16 ounces. Patrons can only carry the beverages outside from 4pm-1am Monday through Thursday and 12pm-1am Friday through Sunday. The hope is that this change will encourage business expansion, attract young professionals, and encourage more outdoor festivals in the area.
"The simple pleasure of walking on a tree-lined city side walk and window shopping along the way to listen to a band, or to visit local artists, or students art displays, are an escape from the fast pace of today's world," said one supporter.
The ability to carry alcohol outside the restaurants will end one hour before last call. That means no alcohol on the streets after 1am. and alcohol brought from home will not be allowed.

Police fanned out across an Atlanta neighborhood on Tuesday in search for clues in several crimes. Over the past few days, there have been two shootings and several armed robberies. In one crime, an Atlanta Braves fan was shot in the face walking home from a game earlier this month. Authorities said that the 22-year-old victim was shot once in the face on May 17 while walking in the area of Grant Street and Georgia Avenue.The victim told police that he was accosted by two young men as he walked home from a Braves game. Authorities said that the men did not demand anything before firing the shot. Surveillance footage shows the victim walking moments before the crime. Seconds later, two men are seen. Other camera angles show the two suspects running away from the crime scene.The victim lost sight in one eye as a result of the shooting. Police canvassed the area on Tuesday in search of leads. Authorities are investigating if a string of crimes from Grant Park to east Atlanta are connected."We believe a string of crimes that have occurred [are] really similar to the same m/o that had occurred the other night," said Atlanta Police Chief George Turner.One of those is the murder of Patrick Cotrona along Flat Shoals near East Atlanta Village over the weekend. Cotrona's sister, Kate, said that 33-year-old victim graduated from Georgia Tech and worked as a video game programmer. He was just walking back to his east Atlanta home when he was shot and killed, his sister said. "The night that he died was not the first time that he walked down the street. I don't think it ever occurred to him something would happen to him. He was such a kind and loving, non-confrontational person," said Kate Crumm. Friends of Patrick Cotrona gathered to pay their respects to him on Tuesday. Police said they are bringing extra officers into the area. Anyone with information on the crimes is urged to call CrimeStoppers at 404-577-8477.

82 World War II veterans boarded a this morning for another Honor Flight. This marks the 14th flight that has offered the honor to 1300 Oklahoma veterans.
Some fought in the infantry. One was a prisoner of war and there were five women honored with this flight to Washington.
The patriot guard riders escorted 3 buses full of World War II veterans o the airport. That was just the start and overwhelming for the men and women, who were not sure what to expect.
Barbara Bucchaneri served in the Pentagon, during the war. Today she arrived with her grand-daughter.
The average age of these veterans is 86. There were 16 million WWII vets, but more than 600-die everyday. Even today, one person ccanceledbecause of illness.
They survived the war and they are thankful to see this day and the honor going to see the World War II memorial.
"I had no idea there was that kind of honor for those of us that just had to be part of World War II. And it's an amazing thing to be honored. And it's an amazing thing to be escorted to the airport. I'm sort of overwhelmed I think," said Bucchaneri.
The honor flights are possible because of donations. And it means so much, that 200 oklahoma veterans are on a waiting list
The Honor Flight is made possible through numerous sponsors and volunteers. The group returns on Wednesday night, to a homecoming celebration at the Tulsa International Airport.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

It seems Powerpoint is compressing the images in my slides (each slide in my powerpoint is 1 large image). I have turned off image compression in the advanced settings.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Super User is a question and answer site for computer enthusiasts and power users. It's 100% free, no registration required.
If you're using Powerpoint 2007 or 2010 then the max DPI it will save a PDF at is 220, even if image compression is turned off.
You could install PDF printer software like PDFCreator then "print" your presentation, make sure to check the High Quality checkbox. In PDFCreator click Options then Formats -> Compression and change the compression from Automatic to the level of compression you want e.g. JPEG-Minimum. I wouldn't recommend completely turning off compression as this will create a huge PDF document.

San Diego Opera gala
Esther Burnham was honored for her years of support to the San Diego Opera at a gala for the season opener Puccini's "Turandot," Jan. 29 at the US Grant Hotel and The Civic Theatre. Patrons enjoyed cocktails, the performance, and dinner and dancing after the show.
The opera tells the story of China's icy Princess Turandot who has built a wall of riddles around her heart to keep love away. Desired by every man, she wants none. Three impossible riddles are the test to win her love and if you fail, you die. Heads roll until the mysterious Prince Calàf arrives on the scene, determined to marry Turandot and stop the bloodshed. Following in his shadow is his father's servant girl Liù — who loves him so deeply she dies for his happiness. Show dates Feb. 4 and 6. Photos by Renay Johnson.
