Does Not Support Optical Drives!
This review is from: StarTech 4 Port SATA II PCI Express x4 Card Model PEXSATA24E
Pros: Great card if your wanting to add 4 SATA ports, Supports SATA II up to 300GBs, supports raid 1 and 0...
Cons: For the price this card is going for and it does not support optical drives... pathetic... i got this card strictly to add 4 DVD/BR to my system and it took my to call tech support at Startech.com to tell me that this card does not support optical drives... WOW
Other Thoughts: IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON ADDING OPTICAL DRIVES USING THIS CARD turn away! i am freeing up my PCI slot and getting this card... Item#: N82E16815280003

Not Compatible
This review is from: StarTech 4 Port SATA II PCI Express x4 Card Model PEXSATA24E
Pros: I liked the idea of six ports on the card but you can only turn 4 of them on theoretically.
Cons: I have a new ASUS M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 MB adn AMD 6 core running Windows 7 64 bit. The card driver installed but non of the ports would work no matter the configuration of the jumpers. Device manager showed it installed properly but multiple working drives would not be recognized on any of the ports supplied. I purchased a Masscool at a quarter of the price and it works flawlessly. There techsupport just told me the same thing that the instructions say. It would not work with the jumpers configured in any possition.
Other Thoughts: I cannot recommend this card to anyone with similar hardware setup.

Disregard Below Reviews
This review is from: StarTech 4 Port SATA II PCI Express x4 Card Model PEXSATA24E
Pros: This card is the bomb!!! Toss it in your motherboards PCIe x16, x8, or x4 slot, and you are good to go (granted your motherboard can auto-detect appropriate PCIe bandwidth requirements &/or manual settings). Drivers work on all OS x86/x64 (XP, Vista, Windows 7, Server 08/R2 = No problems!)
Cons: FOOL below thinking that this is a RAID card? Does it say RAID in the title? No it doesn't. This is a SATA controller plain and simple. This card functions exactly as it should, listing 4 independent drives within the boundaries of your OS default configuration pertaining to new drives.
Other Thoughts: I currently have this card attached to a AMS DS-3141SSBK backplane, and wooo @ hot-swappable drives w/this card and Server 08 R2.

worked for a little bit then died
This review is from: StarTech 4 Port SATA II PCI Express x4 Card Model PEXSATA24E
Pros: Worked for backup drives for a while
Cons: Then it died.
Other Thoughts: For $129 it needs to work and not die..nothing else to say...will be sending it back to newegg.

doesn't work with ATAPI devices
This review is from: StarTech 4 Port SATA II PCI Express x4 Card Model PEXSATA24E
Pros: Only works with eSATA card reader and external HDD cradle with my configuration.
Cons: 1. Long story short, this card will not work with DVD (ATAPI) devices. I thought other reviewers were off the mark and I could get my DVD burner to work with the card. Wrong! So, after a month of investigation:
Other Thoughts: StarTech should provide FULL product specifications on their website.

Data Rate Not Acceptable
This review is from: StarTech 4 Port SATA II PCI Express x4 Card Model PEXSATA24E
Pros: 4 Ports which is great when adding multiple HDDs for media storage and backup. Not really a con but just to clarify to those reading this: there are 4 internal and 2 external ports, but, as advertised, only 4 total ports work depending how you set jumpers thereby disabling 2 ports.
Cons: Sloooowww performance! After noticeably slow file transfers from one HDD to another, I benchmarked using a popular HDD program and found that the chipset controller on my mobo easily permitted 35-38Mbps data rate while this Startech PCIx4 card posted disappointingly slow data transfer rates of only 12-14Mbps. I even bought a 2nd card of the same model to double-check with same slow outcome. I have the card mounted to an x16 slot (and tried all available slots with same results; further, my bios is indeed up to date). Called Startech and they were no help. Returned card to NewEgg since the card did not achieve advertised SATA II performance.

versatile card
This review is from: StarTech 4 Port SATA II PCI Express x4 Card Model PEXSATA24E
Pros: works as it should - 4 more internal ports - no problems at all
Cons: bad docs...
Other Thoughts: Love NE but they don't stock it and the price is high - so I got for $115 at Dell instead.

Surprisingly good
This review is from: StarTech 4 Port SATA II PCI Express x4 Card Model PEXSATA24E
Pros: It does exactly what it says. I have a Gig GA-EX38-DS4 (from Newegg, of course) and ran out of SATA ports; used one for a Blu, one for a DVD, the Gig needs two ports for its e-SATA, a system drive, 3 data... you get my point. This allowed me to use one of its ports for an external and still gain 3 more. Copied about 200Gb in under an hour.
Cons: Documentation is weak, to say the least. Optical drives would NOT work with it, although external backup and internal data drives all hummed along fine. When it does its boot diags, only lists one drive (although works with all 3 I have attached -- so my advice would be not to panic if you see that).
Other Thoughts: I found a place that was clearing out its last one for a song, so didn't get it here (sorry, Newegg; you're awesome) and was very concerned, since StarTech isn't exactly a household name in this kind of an application -- plus, there were NO reviews to be found (and believe me, I looked). I did NOT run full speed tests to verify that I'm getting full SATA II throuput; I use the drives attached for data and backup. That being said, after 2 months of use, no issues other than the failure to function with the optical drives. Smooth, no hiccups, and the speed appears to be fine. As I said: it does what it says, at a reasonable price.

Campus Dining:
On campus the food has a lot of variety and you can find anything to suit your diet. Darley food is not that great.
Campus Dining:
I lived in Farrand Hall which had its own Grab n Go and was located just next to the C4C dining hall. The food was good but there wasn't a lot of variety so, by the end of the semester, I got bored with eating the same food items. The Farrand Grab n Go was popular for its burgers which were really tasty! C4C had the best omelets in the morning. Other than that, I would use my munch money to switch my meals up a little and maybe buy a calzone from the WeatherTech.
Campus Dining:
There are multiple places to eat on campus that have a pretty good variety.
Campus Dining:
Overall, I wasn't impressed with the dining hall experience. The food all seemed to be the same.
Campus Dining:
The addition of the C4C has given students many more options for food. Certain dining halls offer different selections, so it is nice if you are tired of eating at one dining hall, to switch it up.

While college dorm food, in general, is hardly appealing, you will most likely end your first semester feeling as if you couldn't get enough of it. This is because CU provides its students with four different all-you-can-eat dining centers conveniently located in some of the most popular student dorms. In the past, CU's dining halls were generally loathed by all, but recent renovations have impressed even the pickiest eaters. Among those changed, Farrand Dining Hall was transformed into the hip Alley@Farrand, offering a food-court atmosphere with a deli, pizza, paninis, salad bar, and much more.
Aside from the dorms, students on campus often venture to University Memorial Center (UMC), where they can grab a bite to eat at the food court that has everything from buffalo burgers and fries to a Mexican cantina. Surrounding the food court is Baby Doe's convenience store, Subway, Wok & Roll Japanese take-out, Domino's Pizza, Celestial Seasonings coffee and tea house, a smoothie cart, and a hot dog stand. There are a variety of meal plans available to students that can be customized according to each student's needs. New freshmen are required to have either a 19- or 15-meal plan throughout their first two semesters in the dorms. Weekly menu postings can be found on the Web at http://housing.colorado.edu/dining.

This summer's drought may affect your Christmas celebrations years into the future.
You might be able to find a real Christmas tree this season...but next year, the pickings might be slim.
The owner of Mathews Christmas Trees and Wreaths in Liberty said that because of the hot, dry summer weather only 30-40% of his little trees survived.
Greg Mathews says his older, more mature trees faired better in the drought weather.
500 trees were actually brought in from Michigan this year, in order to supply the demand for their customers.
Matthews said his business may see the biggest impact in the future.
"It is mostly slowing down our future crops because out of the ten thousand trees you know we've got maybe three or four thousand that is still living and the one's that are growing are slowed way down because of the drought because we have no way to water them," said Mathews.
Mathews says they still have plenty of Christmas trees available to buy this year though.

Where is my mind?
Oh Hello There.
I'm Maddi Saward.
Jesus is who I live for.
I like to sing sings.
I also play a few instruments.
I love Emily Haines; always.
I'm generally optimistic, but I thought I would share lessons I have had to learn the hard way.
Growing up is hard to do, but we all have to do it at some point in time.
We stuff up constantly and people walk out of our lives we swore would never leave us, but the still leave with no reason.... but I've learnt a lot from these situations; they make you stronger.
I've pretended to be someone I wasn't to impress people, but I'll never do that again... Being myself was a lot easier and just altogether a better way of living. I like myself better this way.
People are amazing. They really are! we meet some idiots, but seriously, we meet so many more absolutely BEAUTIFUL (inside and out) people to outweigh the bad.
I know all of this makes me sound really heavy and like I take myself way to seriously; let me clarify, I really don't!!
I'm crazy, loud, embarrassing, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO TITLE ME!!! But I honestly couldn't care.
that is all :):)
Thank you for reading.
Sincerely, Maddi.

Imagine growing up without teeth. That's what 9-year-old Kaitlyn Pinto faced. Kaitlyn suffers from ectodermal dysplasia, in which teeth, and sometimes hair and fingernails, develop improperly. None of her front teeth ever developed, and her back teeth were tiny.
Miles of Smiles
A Dental Crisis Solved
"Why do my friends have teeth, but I don't?" Kaitlyn would ask her parents. The question that Sue and Trevor Pinto asked each other was, "How do we fix this?"
A dental hygienist referred them to the prosthodontics clinic on the Rutgers Health Sciences at Newark site, one of five treatment centers (two in Newark and three in southern New Jersey) that handle more than 100,000 patient visits annually and are operated by the Rutgers School of Dental Medicine. Over the course of three visits, Haitham Aga, a third-year prosthodontics resident, took a mold of Kaitlyn's mouth and created a set of pediatric dentures to fit over her existing teeth. She will continue to be fitted with dentures until she stops growing and is ready for permanent dental implants.
Many Specialties in One Place
Anyone can find treatment at the clinics (fees are lower than those at private practices and the clinics accept Medicaid and certain private insurances). The school is the largest provider of Medicaid dental care for the state's underserved populations: low-income patients and those with special physical or mental needs.
Like Kaitlyn, many patients are referred to the school because it offers the kind of sophisticated care—in specialties like orofacial pain, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and prosthodontics—that is difficult to find. Having multiple specialties under one roof is a big plus. "Many cases are multidisciplinary, requiring more than one specialty," says Louis DiPede, acting director of the postgraduate prosthodontics program.
If students are trained to treat patients who are underserved, they're going to be far more likely to do that in their private practice.
The clinics are staffed largely by dental students and residents, who are supervised by faculty. "Patients get high-quality care at a reduced fee, and students learn the art and science of dentistry," says senior associate dean Michael Conte. The southern New Jersey clinics are known as the Statewide Network for Community Oral Health. Fourth-year students enrolled in the Community-Oriented Dental Education (CODE) program treat patients at these sites, where before graduating they treat a diverse population in a setting similar to a private practice.
The students provide care for the indigent, elderly, and people living with HIV/AIDS. "If students are trained to treat patients who are underserved, they're going to be far more likely to do that in their private practice," says chief operating officer Andrea West.
Top Care Is for Everyone
"We set the standards in the state, and we have a great responsibility," says assistant dean Arnold Rosenheck—which is why the school is expanding its special care and pediatric clinics. "These clinics treat some of the most vulnerable populations; for the special-needs population in particular, there's often no other place where they can get care," says the Rutgers School of Dental Medicine dean, Cecile Feldman.
Dental care is the most prevalent unmet medical need for children living in the United States, and the clinic's expansion will allow the school, which is the largest pediatric provider in the region, to treat even more children than the 10,000 it now sees each year. Like Kaitlyn, many will emerge with better teeth—and a better future. The smile she beamed upon seeing her new face, says Aga, "didn't just make my day; it made my month."
He has a self-portrait of Kaitlyn echoing the sentiment: "Thank you. You didn't just make my day. You made my life."

Boo- RAW
A guest post by my amazing Boo.. small intro can be found HERE. So, I've been built up to epic proportions by a certain sir and madam, and I find this daunting because I now feel like I need to be epic with the words I choose and the positions in which I place them. But here's my truth at this moment; I am feeling so intensely raw that I don't give a shit about being epic. I'd love to vent on this here blog—for my very first post, mind you—of exactly why I am feeling this way. And I'm scared. I'm scared because if I speak my truth to a bunch of people that I don't know, there is a slight chance that my words will somehow, someway through the interwebs resurface to … Read entire article »

Regis College and Stonehill College collaborate to make higher education affordableOctober 7, 2013
As President Obama calls for more affordable higher education, Regis College and Stonehill College are responding, beginning with a graduate program that will also help meet the increased market demand for prepared healthcare administrators.
Regis College and Stonehill College recently signed an agreement that will make the Master of Science in Health Administration degree at Regis more affordable to qualified Stonehill students. With the agreement, Regis will accept four of Stonehill's undergraduate courses in the Health Administration baccalaureate degree program as credited courses in the Regis Master's of Health Administration program. This type of advanced standing agreement is the first of its kind among Regis' graduate programs and will provide students with the opportunity to save approximately $8,000. For these qualified students, the time it will take to earn their MS degree will also be expedited.
"The growth of healthcare in the United States necessitates the preparation of educated and qualified administrators as soon as possible," said Dr. Claudia Pouravelis, Associate Dean of Graduate Academic Affairs at Regis. "Students can get real world experience both with Stonehill's internship and Regis's Field Experience, which makes this arrangement a win-win."
"Regis and Stonehill are both Catholic institutions grounded in mission and sharing a commitment to liberal arts education," said Dr. Craig Almeida, Dean of Academic Achievement at Stonehill College. "The partnership allows our Healthcare Administration and Interdisciplinary Studies—Health Science majors and minors to be better prepared for the advanced degree, and Regis has an exceptional graduate program in which our students were already enrolling."

Filed under: Building knowledge, Energy Efficiency, Hot Topic, Resources
A guest post by Rush Hood, P.E., and Jeffrey J. Basiaga, Jr.
The "IEEE FWCS Industrial Tour Series" sponsored a tour of the Landmarc Construction Net Zero Energy Building in Tampa on March 28, 2013 hosted by Mr. Spencer Kass, Landmarc VP. He has installed and is operating a practical, utility-connected, photovoltaic generation system. The office is approximately 2800 sq. ft. with lighting and HVAC fully within modern standards. The building operates at "Net Zero" energy consumption and returns surplus energy to the electric grid. There is an Electric Vehicle charging station installed and free EV-charging is provided to the visitors parked in the parking lot.
As with most engineering projects, there are many factors that are not obvious. A structural analysis was performed on the building to ensure it could support the weight and wind loading of the solar panels. Special electrical equipment ensures the safety of utility workers by disconnecting the solar generation from the electrical service when the utility power fails. This feature prevents energizing the utility conductors when utility workers would expect them to be de-energized. Additionally, a clearly-marked switch enables easy disconnect of the building generation from the utility in an emergency. Further, the physical layout of the solar collectors must ensure that no portion of the panels are ever shaded by the building structure or trees, as any shading would have a disproportionate impact on the solar generation efficiency.
The electric metering functions are not obvious, either. The meter does not simply "run backwards" when the solar generation is supplying power to the utility, since the utility does not pay full "retail price" for energy generated by the customer. A special meter keeps separate track of energy consumed from and supplied to the utility. "Consumed kWh" and "Generated kWh" appear as separate line items on his electric bill. Of course, energy generated on-site that offsets simultaneous usage on-site effectively gives the customer "retail price" for these kWh.
Participants also discussed other cost and expense factors that impact the payback of the system, including maintenance, lightning damage, surge suppression, potential for weather damage, and vandalism and theft avoidance measures. It turns out that the overall economic analysis of the project is very complicated, and at this time incomplete. The consensus of the participants, however, was that we were "Looking at the Future," and we were all very impressed by the progress that has been made.
The engineers that toured the building were very grateful for the opportunity. We encourage interested parties to seek, learn about, and promote the cutting edge & practical realizations of great ideas.

While water and wastewater (WWW) treatment accounts for a surprising 5% of total U.S. electric power generation, topographically-variable WWW conveyance account for a more surprising 15% of the same total [Pod06; Coh04]. In addition, while wastewater contains energy in dilute form, current goals for recovering such energy represent only 0.02% of the total generation, through the use of microbial fuel cells of the future [Log04]. If, on the other hand, WWW were decentralized, up to 15% of total U.S. electric power production could be saved.
While centralization of WWW treatment was implemented to concentrate resources and ensure water quality, today many monitoring, quality control, and operation and maintenance (O&M) functions can be decentralized electronically. Imagine, if each building of the future contains a direct potable reuse system, then maintenance personnel, rather than driving to a central facility daily, would be dispatched electronically to neighborhoods for routine annual maintenance. Moreover, decentralization would increase the accountability of neighborhood residents in terms of responsible use of water, personal care products, and household chemicals.
Beyond energy savings, autonomous net-zero water (ANZW) buildings would not need to treat for most pesticides (US, 5 billion lbs/y) and industrial chemicals (US, 6 billion lbs/y), representing a total mass loading of 2 mg/L on U.S. surface and groundwater runoff. Treatment instead would focus on effective destruction of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) such as pharmaceuticals, which cannot be as easily regulated in terms of environmental half-life as pesticides and other chemicals, by advanced oxidation. This latter advantage would address the current 6% feminization of male fish across all species (20%, black bass) in U.S. river basins [Hin09]. Finally, an urban demand for e.g. one million gallons of water every day in Southeast Florida would be removed from the (Everglades) natural system. Eliminated would be water rationing, and the need to treat seawater with total impurity levels two orders of magnitude higher than drinking water standards, to drinking water standards when impurities in treated wastewater e.g. in S. Florida currently meet 87 of the 93 numerical drinking water standards on average without further treatment.
Increased construction activity in the outlined areas over the last 10+ years. Many infill projects and zero lot line developments. Increased population growth in the target area with increased load (people) and demand (use per individual). Overall individual load has increased over X years by X gallons per day. Strain on water treatment system and infrastructure, especially close to water ways cited. Septic tanks systems that are undersized, outdated or broken, without eh owner knowledge. Purposeful (non permitted or documented) re-routing of sewage water to nearby water ways and excess burden on municipal sewer system with surface water runoff, increased rainfall intensity and more man-made diversions of water. Quantity of subsurface runoff (stormwater).
Estimates of water use in the United States indicate that about 410 billion gallons per day (Bgal/d) were withdrawn in 2005 for all categories summarized in this report. This total is slightly less than the estimate for 2000, and about 5 percent less than total withdrawals in the peak year of 1980. Freshwater withdrawals in 2005 were 349 Bgal/d, or 85 percent of the total freshwater and saline-water withdrawals. Fresh groundwater withdrawals of 79.6 Bgal/day in 2005 were about 5 percent less than in 2000, and fresh surface-water withdrawals of 270 Bgal/day were about the same as in 2000. Withdrawals for thermoelectric-power generation and irrigation, the two largest uses of water, have stabilized or decreased since 1980. Withdrawals for public-supply and domestic uses have increased steadily since estimates began. http://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1344/

Biofuel can be broken down into fuel made from plants. There are many forms; however, there are a few to focus on. Ethanol, Biodiesel, and Biomass have come to the forefront over the past 10 years, and have even caught the attention of the government. With increasing environmental concern, the government has shifted some focus to the creation and use of biofuel to take the strain off of fossil fuel use. In the U.S. alone, 138 million gallons of oil are consumed a year.
Ethanol is made from corn or sugar cane. It is utile is many different scenarios, from cars to airplanes. Most gas fuel nowadays is made with 10% ethanol, and is marked with an E10 on the pump. This make the gasoline around 6% less efficient than if it were solely gasoline. For airplanes, such as those used by Continental and Lufthansa, the fuel is 50% ethanol, and although it is better for the environment, it is 2.5 times more expensive. In the case of the airlines, it is solely for publicity and has no monetary benefit whatsoever. As previously mentioned, ethanol is made from corn or cane sugar. The process, however, is debated. Is takes three gallons of water to make one gallon of ethanol, and fossil fuels are used in the process as well. Although the process of refining corn into ethanol isn't the most efficient, the amount of exhaust reaching the ozone is significantly smaller. Over the past ten years, this process has evolved to become more and more efficient and with time ethanol will prove to be a solid alternative to gasoline.
The main points politicians and environmentalists are making are that ethanol can be domestically produced, it is renewable, and it is cleaner burning than gasoline. Ethanol, when burned, releases up to 80% less toxins into the air, creating less pollution. The fact that ethanol can be produced domestically also helps to decrease its cost in that we are not paying for transportation from, say, the middle east.
A company in Wyoming called KL Process Design Group is now using woodchips instead of corn to product ethanol. It is believed that the waste to fuel industry will become stronger than the crop to fuel industry.
Other forms of biofuel are biodiesel, made from vegetable oil, and biomass, made from burning plant or tree matter to generate electricity. This process is very common throughout California, Maine, and Michigan.
The biofuel industry has created a much greater demand for crops in the United States, as 33% of the U.S. corn crop goes to ethanol production, and in doing so, the farming industry has become a stronger force. With this great demand, American farmers have seen much improvement in their earnings. But this also comes at a cost. With a third of the corn crop being dedicated to fuel production, the price for corn has increased, as well as many others. So what is better? Planting corn for fuel, or planting corn for food? This debate has been rallied all over the world, as European countries follow suit. Ethanol uses a lot of water, and a lot of crop to create little product, but the positive effects the change to ethanol provides for the environment as the rest of the worlds fossil fuels and resources has over the past ten years overshadowed the increase in price of corn.
The environment has become a central concern of the government as well as the people, so with these fuel processes evolving over time, the negative effects and consequences of biofuel production will eventually reach next to nothing.

Solar water heaters have been replacing gas water heaters over the past ten years at a rapid pace. Consumer interest in them is not solely for the tax credits, but also for their economic payback with cheaper bills and startup costs.
The pros and cons for gas and solar water heaters are lengthy so there are a few things one needs to know when weighing the idea of solar. Solar powered heaters come in many different forms but typically consist of a collector and a heater.
There are three different types of collectors:
-Flat Plate Collector- This collector is an insulated and weatherproof box with a dark absorber plate underneath glass or plastic covers. They are similar to those used to heat swimming pools.
-Integral Collector Store Systems-These are also known as ICS or batch systems. They are made up of black storage tanks and tubes in a similar insulated box. Cold water passes through the solar collector first, heating up the water just a little, and then proceeds on to the backup water heater. This keeps a consistent source of hot water, and is more reliable. However, they are not good in cold climates as the tubes could freeze.
-Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors- These are made up of rows of clear glass tubes. Each tube has a metal absorber tubs which absorbs solar energy but inhibits radiant heat loss.
There are two types of active solar water heating systems:
-Direct Circulation Systems- pumps circulate household water through the collectors and into the home. This does not work in freezing climates.
-Indirect Circulation Systems- The pumps use a heat-transfer liquid and a heat exchanger. They are better for freezing temperatures.
Passive solar water heating systems tend to be less expensive and more reliable than active systems, but they are less efficient as well.
-Integral Collector Storage Passive Systems- This systems does not work well in freezing climates. They are very efficient with daytime and nighttime hot-water.
-Thermosyphon Systems- With this system, water flows through the system when warm water rises as cooler water sinks. These are less expensive than the previously mentioned passive system. The storage tank is heavy, however, so the contractor has to pay special attention to the roof of the home.
After learning a little bit about how the solar water heater systems work, it is important to weigh the pros and cons.
These systems range from $1,500 to $3,500. Gas systems cost between $150 and $450. This difference in price is significant and one must also consider the installation costs of the solar system which can run up to $2,000 plus regular maintenance costs.
Having explained costs, the solar systems last around the same as the gas systems yet they're payback happens in four to eight years when you weigh gas vs. electrical bills. This means that within four to eight years, it is as though you are not paying for hot water anymore.
Another bonus can be found in tax credits. For any system installed after December 31, 2008, there is no maximum to the possible tax credit. Energy Star also has their own line of solar water heaters, which provides a full line of commercial and domestic energy efficient products.
Solar water heaters are not all mighty, however, and do have their fair share of negatives. For starters, the maximum water temperature that can be reached is lower than that of a regular on-demand system and the heating process tends to be slower.
The reliance on weather also provides a hurdle as the unit needs sunlight to produce the hot water. Many of the newer systems have a backup system to negate this.
One of the biggest concerns is their water storage tank. These can get quite large and if a contractor does not install them properly, there is risk of the roof getting damaged, as well as the interior of the home.
All of the negative aside, solar powered water heaters prove to be an economically feasible and friendly option for homeowners who plan to stay in the same home for an extended period of time and reap the benefits of the payback.

Becoming environmentally conscious has emerged as a main concern of homeowners, business owners, and the government over the past decade. Green homes, with lower potable water consumption, less energy use, and better building materials are sprouting up all over the world and commercial businesses are following their lead. All of the basics of sustainability easily transfer from one building type, making the possibility for green hotels possible.
- Form an environmental committee- This committee will develop a plan for energy, water, and solid waste use.
- Monitor electric, water, gas, and waste usage- This should be done monthly and annually. This will also help the hotel determine which of the following should be addressed first and in what order.
- Install digital thermostats in hotel rooms and throughout hotel and replace incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescents- These two go hand-in-hand. It is a matter of simple installation. Using the CFL bulbs saves on energy costs, as well as using the digital thermostat. Many hotels inEuropeare using a technique to limit use of air systems and light by requiring that the key card be put in an activation port in order for the lights to be on. This means that when the patron leaves the hotel room and takes their key card out of the port, the lights and air turn off and remain off until the patron returns and put the key card back in the port.
- Implement towel reuse program- Many hotels have begun using this technique to save on laundry water used. By hanging up the towel after use, the patron is indicating they will reuse their towel. If the towel is on the ground, housekeeping is expected to remove and wash the towel. For guests staying at a hotel for more than one night, it makes sense to save the towel and wait until it has been used more than once before placing it on the floor to be replaced by a clean one.
- Install 2.5-gpm (gallons per minute) showerheads or less in all guestrooms and employee shower areas- Low-GPM shower heads conserve a lot of water and in a building like a hotel where showering can occur every minute of the day, these shower heads work to decrease water used significantly.
- Install 1.6-gallon toilets in all guestrooms- Switching from a standard to a low flow toilet can save thousands of gallons of water per year. There are also toilets with two different flush options, one of which cycles out the water, the other flushes all waste.
- Implement a recycling program, for light bulbs, batteries, etc.
- Purchase Energy Star appliances- These could be the washer and dryer used for sheets and towels, dishwashers, refrigerators, televisions, air conditioners, and much more. A complete list of Energy Star products can be found at: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=products.pr_find_es_products
- All office paper products should have 20% or more post-consumer recycled content
These many different ideas for going green in a hotel environment also apply to green homes, office buildings, schools, and healthcare. The basic ingredients to saving energy require making small changes, whose payoffs can be great in the long run. Hotels require large maintenance and energy costs, and even if going green isn't the main concern, these methods save money, allowing for lower operating costs.

Insulation is one of the most important aspects to consider when looking at the energy performance and potential savings for your project. Especially on residential projects, the standard code required insulation is quite insufficient and leaves much room for improvement.
When thinking about improved energy improvement and especially the introduction of alternative or renewable energy, insulation is key as most of the energy is lost at the envelope of the building: the roof and the walls. If a building has an energy consumption of 100 units and produces 60 units with alternative energy, there are still 40 units to be paid each month.
Insulation, very high efficient appliances and HVAC as well energy star rated doors and windows can bring the unit use to 50. Not the same 60 units created actually pay back the owner… insulation is the key to make this equation work.
Beyond energy savings, choosing the right insulation may also contribute to better air quality. Even though most of the particles find their way into the air during construction, some insulation, such as batt insulation used for energy or sound barriers, can easily be released through simple repairs or even installation of picture nails and hooks.
There are so many options these days to look at insulation for the building. Bonded logic produces a series called Ultra Touch, which uses post-consumer blue jeans. Not just great insulation, but also bonus points for recycled content. Blow in cellulose insulation is formaldehyde and VOC free while diverting 300 tons of denim per month away form landfills. The R value can go up 30. Not a bad option (www.bondedlogic.com/ultratouch-cotton.htm).
Another fully sustainable alternative would be recycled wool, loose-fill insulation, such as the oregano shepherd line that provides up to r-4 per inch (www.oregonshepher.com).
There are more sustainable alternatives without going all the way to fully recycled or reclaimed materials. Formaldehyde free fiberglass comes in the traditionally familiar batt and roll variety with values from 11-38. Rigid foam panels also come in less toxic options, as does spray in insulation. Johns Manville and Owens Corning now offer environmental lines of product.
Personally I prefer a spray in system such as Icynene, Greenfiber or Certainteed. These systems use soy based or cellulose blows insulation that not just is easy t install and will literally fill the very last crack, but it also lets the access material be recycled on the spot, virtually eliminating any waste during construction.
It is important to seal all cracks, even if they are only a fraction of an inch. A small gap next to the insulation may appear minimal, but consider adding all those little cracks up to one large opening. This hole is typically about 3 square feet. Would you leave a 3 square feet hole in your wall? Probably not, so seal it. Knauf is a good option for these cracks as are other weatherization techniques.
When tackling your next project or upgrade, think of the insulation and realize quick savings in your energy bill. For further questions, contact your design professional. Sebastian Eilert Architecture. 786.556.3118 www.SebastianEilert.com

Water remains my favorite and most important issue when addressing green building
concerns. It is certainly not the most important topic when looking at the
various certification checklists, like the USGBC LEED rating system. It finally
received a prerequisite in the last update, but is dwarfed in the overall point
scale by considerations for energy and materials.
Energy indeed has gotten a lot of attention in the last few months, especially the
concept of net-zero energy. The net zero concept is very appealing by taking
advantage of the existing infrastructure rather than having to create a full
independent power storage unit. Typically the consumption averages out to zero
over the term of a 12 month period.
The same concept can be used for the consumption of water; essentially creating an onsite
water filter systems. Water will not be able to quite be net zero, due to
evaporation and other environmental factors that are undoubtedly part of the
cleaning process. But a recycled water loop will probably be about 95%
effective. The remaining 5% can easily be made up by rain water or a well,
depending on the geographic location of the project.
The interesting part to me is the energy that is required to move and clean water.
By bringing this aspect of water use directly to the project, much energy can
be saved on the moving of water to and from the project and the reality of net
zero energy and water is much more realistic to attain.
Considering now, that in California for example about one third of the state's energy is
used to clean and transport water, it does seem a little like putting the stick
before the carrot…
I am grateful to be part of a cutting research project at the University of Miami
that is addressing this very topic: The net zero water dorm. This project will
have move students into a retrofitted hall to be the live users of on-site
cleaned water – all water, from sinks, showers and toilets.
What can you do for your own project? Continue to focus on water reduction in daily
use and install conservation features in your renovation and new construction.
Dual flush toilets or even composting toilets are readily available. Low flow
shower heads and faucets are standard for all manufacturers and a rain
collection system such as simple rain barrel can be installed in any project.
Use the best suited system for water heating, be it on demand, solar or
conventional tank with a PV panel to power it. By using water intelligently,
the use of energy can also be reduced. Why not be the first house to clean your
own water?

Doors and windows do more than just bring natural light into our homes. They offer a wonderful opportunity to clean out the inside air and enjoy the lovely weather, especially in times like these, when the South Florida winter actually allows for us to do so.
Often I hear in conversation when the temperatures drop that friends run home and open the windows to get a fresh breeze and escape the air conditioned air for a few days or weeks.
Door and windows indeed serve many purposes. There is the connection to the outside as noted with air and light, they provide security to keep unwanted intruders and critters out of the home and they do significantly affect the energy consumption of your space.
A good roof with ample insulation and other external finishes do come first, but the next line of defense are the doors and windows. These are typically the areas where we can control the amount of air moving between the inside and the outside. During hot summer month heat easily leaks through the crevasses and raises the overall amount of inside air to be cooled. Proper installation or weatherization is key to ensure that these much appreciated openings do not contribute to your energy bill. If you have new doors and windows installed, ensure that they are properly caulked and that there are not wholes on the edges. If the windows and doors are exiting go through the frames and caulk them where you have holes or consider weather-strips for the joints. These are very inexpensive fixes that will make a difference. Do not think so? Consider this: if you only have a few air leaks along the frame one could argue that is it minimal and more air goes out of the house just be opening the front door to exit the house. In itself this is a correct thought, HOWEVER. Consider the number of small openings that you have all around the house. Now take them all and merge them into one single opening. This whole will likely be 1 to 3 square feet. Would you like to leave a permanent 12" x 12" whole in your house? That is in essence what improper installation and weatherization does. So before the temperatures rise again, take a moment to check your doors and windows and seal them or get professional help, if preferred.
If thinking about replacing your old leaky windows and doors, this is a great move to help with your energy savings. Consider the basic option for windows (same applies for doors):
A Standard window will be well constructed and reduce significantly the amount of leakage over older ones. To comply with building code hurricane requirements, a standard window does require the installation of shutters.
An impact window is more expensive than a standard window but will eliminate the need for shutters, as it complies with the building code. Impact (high velocity impact) windows also have the added benefit of security as a simple brick or other tool will not break the glass to allow access into the house. Furthermore, impact windows do allow to maintain visual connection during the event of a hurricane.
An energy star window, typically a Low E gas filled window, focuses on reduced heat transmission. Energy star windows are also more expensive than standard windows but will significantly contribute to your energy savings. Consider energy windows especially if your glazing area faces south, southwest or west.
As an alternative to energy star windows tints may be installed over standard windows. I generally do not recommend tints as they are not part of the manufacturers assembly and therefore tend to peal and crack over time. Tints also have some aesthetic drawbacks as well as cleaning challenges. They are a great option for economical quick fixes.
Impact Energy Star windows are the most expensive option but do give you a great deal of benefits; from security to energy savings. They are always my recommended option, if the budget allows for it.
Finally, let's look at the different styles of windows. Most windows are either wood, alumni or vinyl. There are also combinations of wood with metal cladding and other constellations. Wood windows are without a doubt the most appealing and impressive option, but do require some ongoing maintenance, especially in the South Florida climate. Most economical windows in this part of the country are aluminum windows with manufacturers like PGT (used in the Chamber South project) and CGI (local manufacturer) providing a good value. Aluminum windows easily comply with anchoring requirements are also very easy to install.
Besides the material, there are a few options to consider for style. The two main options are:
Single hung windows are a basic slider, mostly up and down. About 40% of the window actually opens and about 80% has glazing. They are the most economical option and are operated completely manually by simply sliding half of the panel. Connections on single hung windows do tend to wear out and weatherization is important to maintain.
Casement windows are constructed by having the full glass area in a frame that sits in another frame which is attached to the building. The inner frame is hinged on one side and thus fully operational. Casement windows provide about 80% glazing and 85% opening. The weak point for these windows are the hinges to operate the inner frame. They provide an even better weather seal than single hung windows and are easily maintained.
Other forms of windows are fixed, awning (these are multiple glazing frames that are operated on a hinge and open forward and out, very typical in older Florida homes) and bay windows (typically a combination of fixed and casement).

"March 12, 2009; MIAMI. Everyone held their breath and watched as the dial on the electric meter began to slow down, stop, and then reverse direction. With the flip of a switch, Todd Cooper's family reached the culmination of 14 months of hard work towards a passion for sustainability. Their new photovoltaic system was finally installed and operational, and thanks to the clear sunny day, was already saving money and reducing their carbon footprint. The Village of Palmetto Bay now has its first fully permitted residential solar energy system.
Todd and his wife Omi Diaz-Cooper, who own Miami ad agency Diaz & Cooper Advertising, embarked on their quest nearly a decade ago as their increasing concern about their impact on the environment planted the seed that would grow into a commitment to reducing their ecological footprint. What started as recycling, buying organic, and reducing the use of chemical cleaners gradually evolved into installing better insulation, high-efficiency appliances and compact florescent lights and eventually a home vegetable garden and compost pile in 2008. This led to a solar hot water system, which reduced their energy bill by nearly $100 a month and paved the way for their full photovoltaic array.
With the cost of energy rising and nearly unanimous scientific consensus about the effects of carbon emissions on global climate change, a solar power system offers an effective way to harness the endless energy provided by the sun, especially in sunny South Florida. Of course going from an average summer FPL bill of over $485 to less than $250 certainly doesn't hurt, either.
"It has really permeated both our personal and professional lives," said Cooper. Todd and Omi have also purchased a hybrid vehicle and are working to move their business into a sustainable building built from recycled shipping containers.
Though Florida is the "Sunshine State", the current lack of residential solar energy systems leaves many municipalities lacking a structured permitting system for installing photovoltaic cells. Though this made the approval and installation process rather lengthy, the payoff was well worth the effort.
Inspiration came first from Todd's father, Thomas T. Cooper Sr., A.I.A. who is also the architect of the new office building. Cooper Sr. is a decorated architect whose highly energy-efficient home in Jensen Beach has drawn praise in both the professional and local communities. He helped design the solar energy system and provided the technical drawings needed for the permit process.
Several others were also valuable contributors to the process, including electric engineer Tomas Armstrong, P.E., who donated his services because he is a strong believer in solar energy, and sustainable design architect Sebastian Eilert, who consulted with the Cooper's when they hit roadblocks in the permitting process. The gracious help of Commissioner Katie Sorenson and her aide, Sean McCracken, was also invaluable to securing the building permit and proceed with the installation.
The array on the roof, installed by Solar Energy Systems, consists of 22 photovoltaic panels and safely generates 5 kilowatts of clean, renewable energy to help power the Cooper home. "Anything we don't use is pumped back into the grid the same way it would from a nuclear or coal plant," said Todd. Up until about 6 months ago, FPL would only pay 30 to 40 cents on the dollar for this electricity, but now they pay full price, and with the federal rebates it is a good investment for the family as well.
"We've come along way from discussing the idea around the dinner table over a year ago, and in a few years, we'll start seeing a real return on our investment" Todd notes, "but for now the knowledge that we're doing what we can for the environment is more than enough."

With Hurricane season in full swing and a wet shower passing through with "Nicole", we are reminded of just how important a good roof is in South Florida. Besides a good seal and protection for your property the roof does a lot more than to top of your shelter.
Ensuring that the roof is installed correctly and will protect form wind and rain remains the first priority. This is regulated by both the Florida Building Code and the Miami Dade Product Approval process and any state licensed contractor in combination with a proper building permit will comply.
There is more to the roof than just protection. In South Florida the roof is responsible for almost 80% of the heat that is introduced into the building on a typical residential and low rise commercial structure. This means that conditioned space must address this heat load. Sure, natural shading will help to reduce the heat gain impact but is not always feasible to be installed in an ideal location. Please see some of the landscaping posts for additional information.
To reduce the heat gain through the roof, there are numerous options available. The first layer of defense is the roof finish. Options for the roof finish that are available under building code and product approval generally include asphalt shingle, barrel tile, concrete shingle, flat roof membrane and metal. Some cities, such as Coral Gables, further restrict these options to maintain a design intend and general appearance for the city. When applying for a permit, the available options will be outlined.
Within the noted finishes my clear favorite is metal. Considerations of flying tiles (frequently occurring with barrel and concrete tile roofs), dark colors that will attract a lot of heat (generally asphalt shingles) or flat roof design limitations (how many homes have flat roofs…) make metal roofs the winner. It provides a safe installation that will best resist any hurricane strength winds, provides a light color that not just reduces heat gain but also reflects, and finally also provides the best surface for water collection (a nice bonus).
It is not the least expensive option, but has one of the longest life spans, making the overall investment well worth it.
Design consideration must always be taken into account, but the metal roof has a long history in South Florida and the Florida Keys.
The next barrier is insulation. Often this can be found dropped on the ceiling, which is the wrong location for roof insulation. The building code again provides for minimum levels to ensure a degree of energy efficiency, but simple changes can substantially improve the efficiency of insulation.
To start, it should be installed on the underside of the roof, ensuring that the attic cavity becomes part of the conditioned space. What good is insulation on the ceiling, when water and HVAC systems generally run through this area? Why run them through a sauna like heated space, easily reaching 140+ degrees, when this space can be conditioned, and can be under 100 degrees. Energy is saved by not cooling the wasted 2-4 degrees in the duct and the water pipes.
As there are no HVAC outlets in the attic, it is still a good idea to provide insulation on top of the ceiling, again a small cost of initial installation with a quick payback.
Runs of water and HVAC ducts should be taken into account to further optimize energy savings.
With the above tactics, the roof will be a sustainable shield that will help your home to be more green and keep you some green in your wallet, too. When repairing or replacing your roof, think about this opportunity!

This is my first ever FanPost so if I get this wrong, don't shoot me. So before I anger the entire Lions fan base, let me start by saying I in no way believe something as horrific as 0-16 twice is even possible. Just with Detroit's upgrades on Defense, specifically the Linebacker core, we should be able to muster out a few wins this season. But looking at the schedule this year, it's arguably possible that the Lions will be 0-6 going into the BYE week.
So I pose to you this question:
How much talk is there going to be in the media about another possible 0-16 season for the Lions, if they're 0-6 at the break? We already know the big story with the Lions at the start of this season is going to be "Can rookie coach Schwartz dig the Lions out of an 0-16 hole with his revamped Defense and No. 1 QB draft pick?" But is the media going to jump on the possibility of another winless season for the Lions if they're 0-6 at the BYE week? I know statistically it's almost impossible. I just hope news outlets don't turn this possible story into a media frenzy like, say, Brett Favre's Viking mess. I, for one, will quickly get sick of hearing any jabbering about 0-16 twice. Just want to get the thoughts of my fellow Lions fans on what your takes are on the matter.
Is this something you see the media covering like crazy? Or will there be bigger team stories this season to overshadow the lowly Lions?

Rockefeller Plaza in New York is some sight this morning.
As the light comes up over New York City - shaken and stirred by Sandy just a week ago - 30 Rock is an exuberant celebration of democracy, in an explosion of colour and light.
Thanks to our colleagues at NBC whose HQ is here, Stars and Stripes festoon the walkways, the election map on its famous ice rink is a blank canvas waiting to be coloured in Republican red or Democrat blue.
Screens as big as houses show highlights from the campaign - red and blue searchlights sweep Rockefeller tower. Already, frozen news anchors are jabbering in their outdoor studios in a final feeding frenzy on the polls.
A calm presence in the middle of election fever is legendary news anchor Tom Brokaw who has covered every US election since the assassination of JFK.
He's been there, seen it and can't wait for this election to be over, he told me:
– Legendarty NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw
It's going to be very close, it's been a long, long year.
We hope by the end of this week, the national nightmare of this election, that has been so divisive, so bitter, so uncertain, will come to a happy conclusion.
I really do think the game changer was the first debate at which the President barely seemed to show up.
And Mr Brokaw predicts it's going to be a long, long night too:
This could go well into Wednesday and beyond. I hope we get a clean, if narrow majority in terms of both popular and electoral vote. This country needs to get on with its business, the issues are still very tough out there.
The atmosphere is markedly different to four years ago.
In 2008 you could sense the excitement of a country about to make history.
Obama was the star in the making - the air crackling with possibility of change - a moment of hope for many after the Bush years, which had dragged America into two wars and stared into the abyss of economic catastrophe.
It was heady stuff.
This year's election may have been down and dirty - but it has been no less thrilling. Whichever roads the long campaign has taken America down - tonight is the night it decides on the road ahead.
And that, for Tom Brokaw, is still worth celebrating.
We are the cradle of democracy. This is the most powerful nation on earth even given the divisions. There are no tanks on the streets, no one makes you vote with a shotgun. And at the end it seems to work. It's imperfect and will be tested again but democracy rolls on.
- You can see Tom Brokaw's interview on News at Ten.**

Comments about TOPEAK Hummer Bike Tool:
Have only used this tool for one day, but rebuilt a few chain links and it performed very well. Tested all of the parts of this tool and found that the wrenches are long enough to reach everywhere. One thing I did not know until I pulled the side piece off was that it acts as a wrench for the chain tool. To me that one feature makes a huge difference over similarly priced multi tools at ems.

It's that time again. The New Year. Or as we often hear – "A New Year – A New You". It is a time filled with both the promise of better times to come and of course – that dreaded resolution (or in many cases resolutions). Each and every year, we find ourselves reflecting on the things that we want to improve in our lives and the places in life that we want to be. We are constantly reminded by the media and those around us what changes can be made to improve our health, wealth, and happiness. And as we are often quite motivated and excited to enact these improvements at once, in just mere weeks, we seem to completely lose steam.
Simply resolving to change behavior can be defeating. Just thinking about all of the sacrifices that will have to make to change our routines and status quo and the time it will take to exact them can be downright depressing. After all, how many of us are motivated to stay on a plan that denies us the things we often find pleasurable? Not many!
But actually envisioning in our mind's who we want to be and where we want to go is not only fun – but inspiring. Imagine seeing oneself as having achieved all of the goals that one has dreamed of - whether they are personal, professional, or financial. When goals and achievements are consistently visualized, they eventually come to be. This is the law of attraction. We fill our lives with the things energies and events that constantly fill our minds.
Let this be the year of the positive promise! At your next mentoring meeting, share with your mentoring partner the dreams and goals that you have for yourself and the positive ways that you can move to not only envision these dreams and goals but to make them happen! The following are some talking points to initiate the conversation.

« Previous | 4 of 5 | Next »
The Day Before
Carbo-Load This old runner's trick works. You'll want lots of energy for your big night out, so have yourself a nice pasta dinner the day before. Avoid the garlic and instead have your favorite vegetables and skip the dessert! You can indulge in some sweets with your sweetie on the big date.
Sweet Dreams Get a good night's sleep. This is the best thing you can do for your body and your state of mind. If you have trouble getting to sleep, avoid drinking any caffeine after noon. Start your bedtime regimen early. Put on a pot of decaf tea, like chamomile, and relax in your jammies with some light reading material and soothing music.

By Tayleigh Davis - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - We have new details on a fire near Club River, which could have been a lot worse if it wasn't for the Albany Fire Department's quick response.
The fire caused more than $13,000 in damage, mostly to the upper portion of the building. $6,000 of that includes props from Deerfield Windsor's drama department.
Firefighters were returning from a call when they noticed smoke billowing from the storage unit next to Club River on the corner of Gillionville and Slappey Boulevard.
They immediately laid lines and battled the smoke. People were inside the Club River building at the time, but they made it out safely. No one was hurt.

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - Vermont Auditor of Accounts Doug Hoffer is asking lawmakers to consider passing a law to protect the identity of whistleblowers.
Hoffer says under current state law if someone reports a problem to his office he could be compelled if asked to release the name of that individual.
Hoffer says that could make people less likely to reveal wrongdoing in state government.
He made the request for the change Friday at the Statehouse in Montpelier while testifying to the Public Records Legislative Study Committee.
The committee was formed to review the requirements and exemptions to Vermont's public records act.
The Vermont State Employees Association is supporting Hoffer's request because it says members would be reluctant to report problems in state government because of fears of retaliation.

Sharks top Kings in NHL regular season finale
San Jose, CA (Sports Network) - Dan Boyle scored the game-winning goal at 3:58 of overtime, sending the San Jose Sharks to a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings in the final game of the NHL regular season on Saturday at HP Pavilion.
Boyle started the eventual scoring play on the rush, sending a left-wing feed to Martin Havlat. Boyle drove hard to the net and got the puck back on the end of a give-and-go before backhanding it over the shoulder of Kings netminder Jonathan Quick for the winner.
The Sharks secured the seventh seed in the Western Conference and will face the No. 2 seeded St. Louis Blues in the first round.
Boyle also scored in regulation and Havlat ended with two assists, while Patrick Marleau also lit the lamp for the Sharks (43-29-10) who ended the regular campaign on a four-game winning streak.
"We're going to find out if we're peaking at the right time," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said.
Justin Williams had a goal and an assist, while Mike Richards also scored for the Kings, who dropped three of their final four games.
Los Angeles (40-27-15) ended the season in the eighth spot in the Western Conference and will face the top-seeded Vancouver Canucks, who topped Edmonton on Saturday to capture the President's Trophy.
"I think that there are probably a lot of similarities between them and the Sharks," Kings coach Darryl Sutter said about Vancouver. "They are really good offensive teams and have really good power plays. We're going to have our hands full."
The Kings opened the scoring with a power-play tally at 11:09 of the first frame with excellent puck movement in the offensive zone. After a series of quick passes, Jarret Stoll sent one from the right circle to the slot for Williams, who one-timed it past Sharks netminder Antti Niemi for the early lead.
Los Angeles struck again on the power play with just 56 seconds remaining in the middle period when Willie Mitchell let a slap shot go from the right point that was stopped by Niemi through traffic, but the rebound came to the stick of Richards, who backhanded it home to make it 2-0.
The Sharks began their comeback just 35 seconds into the third stanza when Boyle accepted a pass in the slot and fired a wrist shot past Quick to pull the Sharks within 2-1.
San Jose tied the game with a power-play tally at 8:14 of the third frame when Marleau wristed a shot on goal that got through traffic and past Quick.
Game Notes
The Kings fell to 25-13-11 under head coach Darryl Sutter...Los Angeles will participate in the postseason for the third consecutive season, while San Jose has not missed the playoffs since finishing last in the Pacific Division in 2002-03...It was the sixth time that Marleau has reached the 30-goal plateau in his career...The Sharks finished 1-for-4 with the man advantage, while the Kings went 2-for-2 on the power play.
