Lombardi Shared Resources Host Research Symposium
June 24, 2010
On June 22, Georgetown Lombardi Shared Resources hosted their first Shared Resources Symposium which featured posters highlighting the science and services offered by each Shared Resource, presentations by several Shared Resource directors, and tours of several Shared Resource sites.
V. Craig Jordan, PhD, OBE, DSc, Scientific Director at Lombardi opened the ceremony with a brief welcome and praise for the Shared Resources researchers. "I've been to four other cancer centers and I've never seen such an incredible display of research resources," said Jordan. Stephen Byers, PhD, associate director of Shared Resources addressed a standing room only audience in the research building auditorium emphasizing the value and diversity of offerings that the Shared Resources are able to provide.
Following the overview by Jordan and Byers, Habtom Ressom, PhD, and Catalin Marian, MD, PhD, co-directors of the Genomics & Epigenomics Shared Resource (GESR), presented the variety of new services offered by the GESR. The GESR provides microarray services (Agilent and Affymetrix), DNA sequencing, fragment analysis, pyrosequencing and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for gene expression and genotyping studies. It also houses user-operated specialized instrumentations, including spectrophotometers, infrared imagers, and microplate readers, for which the shared resource personnel provide technical support and training.
The final presentation featured a description of the Familial Cancer Registry (FCR) by Claudine Isaacs, MD, associate professor of Oncology and director of the FCR. Isaacs wowed the researchers with detailed test results from several generations of individuals at high-risk for breast cancer. Full data sets are available from the FCR on women who test negative for a known familial mutation as well as women who test negative after full BRCA1/2 testing in addition to data on BRCA1/2 mutation carriers.
Attendees were invited to chose from three shared resource facility tours: Flow Cytometry, Microscopy, Preclinical Imaging, and Tissue culture (New Research Building); Histopathology and Proteomics/Metabolomics (Preclinical Science Blg); and Genomics and Epigenomics and Clinical and Molecular Epidemiology (Lower level of Lombardi). Attendees were also given Shared Resource t-shirts, pens and magnets bearing the popular slogan "Do It with Shared Resources".

The Executive Director's Column
Dear CBMR supporters, friends, and colleagues:
Spring certainly does feel like "the time of plans and projects" as Tolstoy wrote—at least here at the CBMR. I am glad to report that the CBMR continues to successfully navigate a period of college-wide transition and, as you will see from this issue of CBMR Digest, it also continues to produce and support a diverse range of work on black music. With regards to the transition, Columbia College Chicago has announced that Dr. Kwang-Wu Kim will serve as Columbia's tenth president and CEO. The CBMR joins the college community in congratulating Dr. Kim on his appointment, and we look forward to a productive partnership and to deepening our work on behalf of the college's mission under his leadership.
Additionally, the CBMR now falls squarely under the administrative umbrella of Academic Affairs, reporting to that department's associate vice president, Susan Marcus. This shift has allowed for new organizational perspectives and access to cross-college networks that will help support the CBMR's efforts to build curricular integration, create meaningful collaborative opportunities with other entities on campus, and enhance its value as a resource and hub for students, faculty, and staff across the college's departments and programs. One of these efforts is the creation of a CBMR Columbia College Faculty Fellowship. Robust interdisciplinarism has been a hallmark of the CBMR's work at least since Samuel Floyd's Integrative Arts Initiative. The new fellowship program, developed in partnership with the Office of the Provost, will leverage the strengths embodied by Columbia's artist-faculty in support of projects and research that continue this tradition.
In addition to working with new leadership and new colleagues, CBMR staff has been engaged in a full range of activities and initiatives. While performance programming is one area that has downshifted in line with current budgetary realities, other core program streams such as publications, outreach and education programming, and fellows' activity are forging ahead. Editor Horace Maxile and Associate Editor Gayle Murchison continue to lead a team of committed consulting editors in producing exciting issues of Black Music Research Journal, now in its thirty-third volume. Melanie Zeck, long-time intrepid research assistant at the CBMR, has taken on the essential role of Managing Editor and I am happy to welcome Kathlene Boone, a Columbia College master's student in Arts, Entertainment, and Media Management, as a special projects intern. She is helping build and implement a system that will streamline the work of the BMRJ editorial team. Guthrie Ramsey's strong editorial eye still ensures the quality and influence of the Music of the African Diaspora book series co-published by the CBMR and the University of California Press. Working with such a talented roster of colleagues continues to be both blessing and boon.
Programming highlights and fellows activity are detailed across the issue (including resident fellow—and CBMR Europe's Research Coordinator—Gianpaolo Chiriacò's deepening project on Black Vocality) so I won't detail them here, but will close with a quick heads up. The quality and diversity of the Travel-to-the-Collections grant applications pool continues to impress us. I am delighted with how competitive and fruitful the program is and want to find ways to increase its reach. To that end, we are developing a campaign in honor of its namesakes Samuel A. Floyd Jr. and Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson. Please look for more information about this soon and consider making a gift that will support the hands-on research at the CBMR that the program makes accessible for scholars and practitioners. In the meantime, enjoy the issue and stay in touch.

It's something we've reiterated around here time and time again. It's the reason Clark Hunt said he wanted to model his franchise around the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's the reasoning behind Scott Pioli's hiring and to an extent Todd Haley's hiring (with a personnel background).
You draft well. You win.
Pretty simple, right? Well, the idea is simple. The implementation certainly is not.
Senior analyst Pat Kirwan of NFL.com recently penned an item titled "Smart teams find their starters in the draft." He takes a look at the teams that are the best at drafting starters for their squads...
Top five: Indianapolis Colts 17, Baltimore Ravens 16, Green Bay Packers 16, Pittsburgh Steelers 15, Buffalo Bills 15.
...and those that are the worst...
Bottom five: Washington Redskins 9, Denver Broncos 9, Cleveland Browns 9, Detroit Lions 10, Oakland Raiders 10.
Do you see the common theme here? With the exception of the Buffalo Bills (whose potential is arguable), all these teams are perceived with bright futures. The bottom five teams all have a LOT of work to do.
Side note: It's really a compliment to Mike Shanahan that the Broncos could have so many personnel problems yet continue to be contenders for the division title year in and year out. Did I say thanks to the Broncos for hiring Josh McDaniels yet?
After the jump we'll take a look at the Kansas City Chiefs and determine where they fall when it comes to drafting starters (Hint: It's better than average). What follows isn't meant to be a debate on the depth chart, instead an overall look at how well (or how bad) the Chiefs have drafted players who are or will be starters.
Drafted players in bold
Defense (9/11)
3/3 - Defensive Line (Dorsey, Tyler, Jackson)
2/4 - Linebackers (Hali, Johnson, Thomas, Vrabel)
4/4 - Secondary (Page, Pollard, Carr, Flowers)
Maybe Monty Beisel gets the starting nod over at outside linebacker but remember he's still technically a member of a Chiefs draft class. Other than that, this defense is almost completely homegrown.
Offense (4/11)
1/5 - Offensive Line (Albert, Waters, Niswanger, Goff, McIntosh)
1/1 - Tight End (Cottam)
1/2 - Wide Receivers (Bowe, Bradley)
1/2 - Running Backs (Johnson, Cox)
0/1 - Quarterback (Cassel)
If you want to use a technicality, players like Waters, Niswanger and Cox weren't drafted by the Chiefs but were still picked up as undrafted free agents and Kansas City has been the only team for which they've ever played.
Special Teams (2/2)
1/1 - Kicker (Succop)
1/1 - Punter (Colquitt)
Total Drafted Starters: 13/22
Full list of the Chiefs roster and how they were acquired.
Of the 22 starters likely to take the field in 2009, 13 of those will have been a Chiefs draft pick. Add in the potential of three more starters that were undrafted free agents hand-selected by the Chiefs front office, then you'll notice the team has done a commendable job in recent years drafting talent and turning them into starters. As Kirwan notes in his article, the average for a team is 11-12 starters drafted by the team. Using this as the benchmark, the Chiefs are actually above average at drafting starters.
This chart isn't meant to be an exercise in predicting the 53 man roster. In fact, some of the starters listed above wouldn't be starters on other teams (or won't be starters with the Chiefs shortly) but it's been said time and time again the best way to develop a team that is a contender every year is through the draft.
You'll notice the most successful team in the last decade isn't on this top five list. The New England Patriots have perfected the blending of drafted starters with free agent acquisitions. With Pioli's history I imagine the Chiefs won't ever be on the top five (nor the bottom five) of this list.
The Chiefs weren't always the best at drafting starters, but they certainly weren't the worst. I guess that's the hallmark of the previous regime.

I have a feeling Google Plus well eventually become the new Facebook in a couple years.
I have a feeling that g+ will become the new facebook in a couple of years. They definitely have the clout, being the biggest search engine and being able to use that clout. Not to mention that enrolling in gmail and youtube, remind you that you can become a part of g+. My opinion is that if you want to be ready for tomorrow, start using g+.
It's clear with this new redesign and update that Google was upset they never had a successful social business. Now they forcing Google+ down our throats as they make algorithm updates so we have to use G+ if we want to help improve our rankings/traffic for websites that we want to portray. The sad thing is, that Google will most likely succeed after their tactics have been in play for a while. People are slowly learning what g+ is. Not to mention that it comes on almost all smartphones now that have the android OS. Samsung continues to release quality products, and they use the android system.

It's been rather gloomy here in Boston the last couple days, and the cold, the finals, and the springtime blues have gotten the better of a lot of us. If you catch yourself waking up on the wrong side of the bed, or slipping into negative thought patterns try this little visualization and mindfulness technique:
- Awareness: Maybe you catch your shoulders hunched all the way up by your ears. Or maybe you catchy your perma-scowl on your face. Or maybe you notice the same moan every time your alarm goes off and it's time to get up. Simply getting in the habit of being aware of what you're feeling is truly the first step to getting your happy on.
- Breathe: The best way to reset is to start with the breath. Inhale to each part of your body; from the tips of your toes, to the tips of your fingers, to the very top of your head and all the way back down. Expand your whole body with breath and visualize what's going on in your body at a cellular level: your blood is getting filled with fresh, clean oxygen to pump throughout your entire body. That's pretty rad in and of itself, no?
- Change Your Mind: Though you might have prevailing negative thoughts within you, know that you possess the same capacity to think positively. So gather your awareness, gather your breath, and use that space within you to cultivate the positive thinking within you and bring it to the surface. Imagine your good mood spreading throughout your body and radiating from you into the space around you. Let the corners of your mouth turn up into a smile. Choose happy.

Lib Dems officially unveil candidate (From Watford Observer)

Christopher Townsend officially names as Liberal Democrat police and crime commissioner candidate
11:57am Monday 8th October 2012 in News By Mike Wright, Chief Reporter
The new Liberal Democrat police and crime commissioner candidate outlined his election priorities after being officially unveiled this morning.
The Watford Observer reported that the party had selected Christopher Townsend, a councillor on Dacorum Borough Council who stood as a parliamentary candidate in South West Hertfordshire in the 2010 General Election, last week.
He was selected after the Lib Dems' original candidate, Ron Tindall, withdrew from the race over the summer.
Mr Townsend will now face off against Conservative David Lloyd and Labour candidate Sherma Batson in the November 15 ballot for the £75,000 a year post.
In a statement released today Mr Towsend said: "I have three priorities for policing in Hertfordshire. Number one is keeping crime rates low; people living Hertfordshire want to feel safe, and their homes to be safe, and as police and crime commissioner that would be my overall goal.
"Secondly I will manage the budget. Police forces across the country are facing significant financial challenges. I see the Police and Crime Commissioner as having a vital role in keeping as many Police Officers serving local people as possible, and to do everything possible to protect front-line Police services while making the books balance.
"My third priority is to make sure the police are communicating and working with the local Communities that they serve. I want Hertfordshire police service to be the best in the country, and that means listening to local people, hearing their problems and concerns, and then taking appropriate steps to fix them."

Seriously, what's the point? And what has this got to do with national party politics?
A missed opportunity to select independent candidates purely on their local policies, not whether you love/hate/are indifferent to the Government.

gasguzzler says...
Instead he should admit there is a serious problem and making it his 'overall goal' to deal with the issue.

LSC says...
This just seems a chance for failed politicians to at least get SOME sort of title.
A bit like the EU or the Lords really.
How can I vote for this guy or any other?
The job is 100%, totally, black and white.
To uphold the law without fear or favour and to stay within the budget.
That's it. There is no grey area!
However, there are dangers, serious ones. Suppose there is a Labour fuelled march in Watford to protest about the coalition government policy on, let's say, cheese.
The new cheese policy is a Lib-Dem proposal, and Mr Clegg pushed it through himself.
Would a Lib-Dem Commisioner ban the march on Health and Safety grounds? Might he claim lack of manpower means it can't go ahead?
If it went ahead, can we be sure it would be policed sympathetically, or would we start seeing 'kettleing' , last minute route changes, police in riot gear for the sake of the cameras?
The USSR tried it, and it didn't quite work, did it? The USA elects police officials but usually they are independant and many would argue tat doesn't work either.
Just appoint the right person for the job! A long serving officer with a proven track record for efficiency!

Over the past decade Watford Council has tried it's hardest to attract as many drunks, thugs and rowdies from miles around by squeezing club after pub after bar into the town.
Of course this has, and always was going to reflect badly on the Town.
Not only do we have Albert Road as mentioned by gasguzzler, but is also recognised as one of England's Binge drinking capitals.
Councillors and the Mayor will never admit this obvious fact - Only if they do can we make a start on reducing crime and unsocial behaviour in our once quiet-ish Market town!

The Chargers are off a rare winning start under head coach Norv Turner. Game against Minnesota, Miami and Kansas City will do that. Turner's bunch heads to the Mile High City to face another struggling division rival, the Denver Brocos...who still have Tim Tebow on their bench, in case you hadn't heard.
Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson has not practiced this week, which could be a little bit of a break for Denver's woeful pass defense. Tight end Antonio Gates will not return until after San Diego's week six bye. That means running back Ryan Matthews will shoulder much of the offensive burden this week.
Kyle Orton gets the start again this week, despite his struggles. He was winless against the Chargers last year, and may struggle again this week. Expect the Tebow chats to reach a fever pitch by Monday morning. Or maybe not. Pete Prisco of CBS predicts the Broncos passing game to improve this week, in a narrow loss. There's even a pick for the Broncos to win from one person on the CBS panel.
Peter King thinks this is the week that Philip Rivers tosses four touchdowns and lights up the stat sheet with something approaching 400 yards, even without Gates. Fox's Peter Schrager, sees a lopsided Chargers win.
For more on the Chargers, visit Bolts from the Blue. Check out Mile High Report, for all things Broncos.

R2I at CCI: University of Massachusetts Amherst
CBCI: Fueling the Future - Fabricating New Molecules and Materials for Renewable Energy
Chemical Bonding Centers (CBC) Phase I program will carry out research addressing several fundamental aspects of proton transport, the molecular level process which underlies a number of important biological phenomena as well as the functioning of a central component in fuel cells. Proton transfer is a key aspect of a broad array of chemical problems, including acid-base reactions, energy storage and utilization, and catalysis. The center is focusing its investigation of the chemistry of proton conduction via site-to-site jumps and well-defined scaffolds. The main objectives are to (i) identify optimal functional groups and the underlying dynamics of facile proton transfer; and (ii) fabricate ideal scaffolds that produce stable and rapid proton conduction.
An important application area of this research is the design of better membranes for fuel cells. In keeping with this goal, the CBC will create a web-based entity, the National Chemical Energy Research Network, NCERN, that will (i) act as a dynamic interface among energy researchers and research centers; and (ii) foster better communication between chemists working on energy-related research and the general public. NCERN will facilitate the creation of wiki pages and will moderate interactive chats on these subjects. The center is having a broad impact both through the activities of NCERN as well as through its function as an interdisciplinary training center for graduate students and postdoctorals.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - The search is on for a new Tennessee men's head basketball coach after Cuonzo Martin was hired by the University of California Tuesday afternoon. UT Athletics Director Dave Hart saying during a press conference Tuesday that he was informed of Martin's intention to leave Tennessee just hours before and that it was an "emotional" conversation.
Martin went 63-41 in three seasons at Tennessee, including a 24-13 mark and an appearance in the sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament this season. It was also a season filled with distractions for Martin and his team. After early struggles, a portion of the Tennessee fan base started an online petition to replace Martin with former UT coach Bruce Pearl. Nearly 36,000 signatures were collected before the petition was taken down after Pearl was hired at Auburn.
According to Hart, Martin was offered a raise and contract extension shortly after the season. Hart saying Martin's new deal would have included a $500,000 raise to $1.8 million annually and two more years on the end of the contract.
Hart would not put a timetable on making a new hire but did talk about the criteria. "I am looking for somebody who is a winner. Somebody who has won where they have been," Hart said. "I think fit is important, I have always felt that in my entire career. I think fit is critically important and we will look for someone who we deem to be very good fit."

Hi Niner Nation,
Have you ever saw something online and we're like, "that's so cool!" and then proceeded to try to purchase said item and then felt like Charlie Brown playing football with Lucy?
Well that's what happened to me. You see, I am an ardent 49ers fan. I do enjoy games in person, but recently got my own place and have a great set up for a man cave / media loft. So I decided to liven it up and bring in some Niners stuff.
This is what I found:
Hands down the best darn Niners Wall Clock..but apparently no longer made. So here's the skinny. You find one send me a link or drop me your email. The aftermarket may be the only place this item is found. Thanks.

Not only did the 16-year-old bungee jump off New Zealand's Auckland Bridge today, he risked messing up his hair and everything!
The Beeb's mum and bodyguard joined him in the jump.
"Justin thought it was awesome his mum was jumping," a source tells E! Online. "She did great. She got nervous at the edge, but then went for it....It was actually Justin's bodyguard who was the most scared to jump of the three of them."
Justin looks calm as a cucumber as he swan dives off the bridge's edge... but check out the girly scream that comes out of him as he's plummeting towards the water! (Though it could be the shriek of a concerned fan-girl!)
Have a look at the clip and see if you can see that Beebtastic hair move an inch...

In the course of researching The Suffering, I've had an opportunity to come across many interesting articles having little or nothing to do with Oregon football (or any football).
"Will today's hippie babies be tomorrow's 'straights'?" (If you were born in '69, she was talking to you.)
Huskies strap on helmets, and guns
Expert Says Men Possibly Helping to Upset Weather (1957 report on global warming.. cause: bulldozers?)
However, my favorite headline, by a wide margin, can be seen after the jump:
Gophers Murder Huskies, 46-7; UW Offers No Argument
Here's the earliest photo of a freshly-completed Autzen, about a week before the Colorado opener, in the summer of '67 (found, oddly, in a Spokane newspaper).
Doesn't it look from this angle like a satellite view of a NASCAR track? Or, dare I say, a landfill? (Sorry, but Day Island -- a stone's throw from Autzen -- was the site of Eugene's main sanitary landfill, back then.
Finally, here's one I could use some help with. Found in the UO Library archives, the only annotation on this image was "Unidentified Oregon quarterback plays against Cal, 1970s." Based on the Cal helmet, this looks like it could have been no later than 1973; that's not Fouts, so it isn't '71, and the '72 Cal game was in Berkeley. If you know what year this is, let me know, thanks.
Anyway, note the nearly-empty stands. I'd say this was late in a blowout, but many of those early 70s games only drew 20-25K at best.

Man arrested for alleged murder in death of ex-wife aboard cruise ship
WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. - A former Orange County attorney was arrested in Pasco County for the murder of his ex-wife aboard a cruise ship, authorities say.
Lonnie Kocontes was arrested at the Shops at Wiregrass Friday night by U.S. Marshalls. Kocontes is accused of strangling his ex-wife, Micki Kanesaki, while they were on a cruise in Italy back in May 2006.
Authorities say he threw her body overboard and reported her missing. Kanesaki's body was discovered off the coast of Paola, Italy the same day Kocontes arrived back in the California.
Later when investigators questioned Kocontes about his estranged wife's death, he denied any involvement in Kanesaki's disappearance. He later moved to Safety Harbor, Florida where he was remarried.
In 2008, the Federal Bureau of Investigation accused Kocentes of attempting to illegally transfer more than $1 million between different accounts while with his new wife.
The United States District Attorney's Office (USAO) seized the money from all of Kocentes bank accounts and a civil asset forfeiture case was filed with the US District Court for the Central District in California.
Over the next four years the USAO worked to get an additional criminal investigation into the case of Kaneski's murder.
The Orange County Sheriff's Department discovered additional evidence related to Kaneski's murder in 2012.
On February 13, the Orange County District Attorney's Office filed a murder case against Kocontes. Several different law enforcement agencies including U.S. Marshalls.
Kocontes was arrested Friday night in Safety Harbor.

"Dear Secretary Gates,
As Chairman of the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance representing 10,000 members nationwide with a 7 year consistent record of promoting the development and deployment of a robust missile defense capability for the United States, I am compelled to write to you regarding my concern for America's actions in the face of the growing North Korean missile threat. While I recognize the right of every sovereign nation to pursue a peaceful space program, I believe you would agree that the upcoming North Korean "space launch" could very well have military implications for the future and in the near term, threaten Alaska, Hawaii or other regions of the United States. Therefore, I urge that you to consider activating all available missile defense assets to the Pacific to protect against an errant space launch attempt or a ballistic missile launch that threatens the United Stares or our allies. By way of reference, I understand that the assets deployed for the successful intercept of a long range ballistic missile target this past December 5, 2008 can put the United States in the most effective posture to counter any North Korean action in the next few weeks.
On a personal level and by the full support of my membership, I encourage you to place all of our Missile Defense assets in the Pacific region in the best position to counter the ambiguity that North Korea has historically demonstrated."
Ellison further elaborated on this letter in his statement is as follows:
One of the United States most valuable assets and the best discriminating and tracking sensor for ballistic missile defense, the Sea Based X Band Radar (SBX) has not been deployed and has been docked for the past several months at Ford Island, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The SBX was the main sensor in the recent successful long range ballistic missile intercept on December 5, 2008 providing the primary targeting information for the Ground Based Missile Interceptor (GBI) out of Vandenberg Air Force Base, Ca. that successfully intercepted a long range ballistic missile from Kodiak Island, Alaska.The December 5th, 2008 test simulated a North Korean long range missile threat using the current U.S. missile defense deployed assets designed including for a long range ballistic missile intercept. The SBX was also successfully deployed and used with the Aegis Sea Based Missile Defense System for the February 21, 2008 successful NRO satellite shoot down which had a one in 45 chance of harming human life if not intercepted. The SBX is a self propelled X-band radar and has a sea speed of up to 10 knots per hour.
If deployed the SBX can begin to emit its sensor 50 or so miles from Hawaii and can become effective by providing sensoring information to the deployed long range missile defense system in place today. The SBX cost $950 million dollars to build and costs additional tens of millions of dollars to maintain and operate annually.
The azimuth or launch direction for an ideal space orbital launch from North Korea using optimal rotation of the earth is in the mid-80s which over flies the country of Japan and heads east towards the Pacific Ocean. The azimuth for a long range ballistic missile from North Korea to Hawaii is in the similar 80s degree range. North Korea has declared two "clear zones" on either side of Japan for the first and second rocket stages accounting for the debris falling from their rocket or missile launch. The North Korea trajectory following that flight path would terminate close to Hawaii if the rocket failed to achieve orbit or was a long range ballistic missile launch.
The SBX is the most powerful and most capable sensor to discriminate the debris, payload and a possible reentry vehicle in detail from a North Korean long range missile or rocket launch traveling at extreme high speeds across the Pacific Ocean.
Riki Ellison is available for on-the-record interviews. Call Mike Terrill at 602 885-1955 to arrange.

Energy Department Releases Case Studies and Best Practices to Assist Innovative Energy Efficiency Programs
November 28, 2011
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced new case studies and other online resources available to local governments that are designing, expanding, and enabling residential energy efficiency programs across the country. Developed using real-world results from DOE's Better Buildings Neighborhood Program, these case studies and step-by-step guides outline a framework for successful energy efficiency upgrade programs to help homeowners, businesses, and whole neighborhoods save money by saving energy. They are now available on the Better Buildings Neighborhood Program's website. Each partner in the Better Buildings Neighborhood Program is also highlighted on a profile page describing the business models they're using to make energy efficiency a part of their local economy.
Because homes and commercial buildings account for 40% of U.S. energy use and $300 billion in energy bills, efforts by energy efficiency programs nationwide have significant potential to lower U.S. energy use and create jobs. DOE's Better Buildings Neighborhood Program partners are leading the way, using innovative approaches to test business models, providing concrete examples of models that work, and identifying real market solutions to help catalyze a building upgrade industry that can be sustained in the private sector.
Developed from the promising approaches of the 41 program partners, the new online resources guide home and building owners, building contractors, and energy efficiency program administrators in designing, implementing, and marketing a comprehensive energy-efficiency upgrade program. The guidance details the partners' experiences in key program areas such as supporting financing mechanisms for home and building upgrades, developing a trained workforce to install energy efficient products, and generating demand for the energy upgrades available through their programs.
For a quick snapshot on the overall Better Buildings Neighborhood Program, a new video illustrates the many benefits and opportunities for helping homeowners and businesses save money and energy through building upgrades around the country.
The Better Buildings Neighborhood Program is part of the Better Buildings Initiative—a program within the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy that is making homes and commercial buildings across the country more efficient. Funded with approximately $500 million from DOE through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the Better Buildings Neighborhood Program will leverage an estimated $3 billion in additional resources over three years. The program aims to save consumers about $65 million annually on their energy bills.
To learn more about how the U.S. Department of Energy's Better Buildings Initiative is changing lives by changing buildings, visit the Better Buildings website.

J.R. Smith hit his second buzzer-beater in less than a month for the New York Knicks, scoring the final four points in a 99-97 win over the Phoenix Suns. Smith has long had a knack for taking head-scratching shots and making them, but his reputation for nailing bailout shots took another huge leap Wednesday.
First, a play broke down with the Knicks trailing by two with under 20 seconds remaining, but Smith took control and nailed a straightaway 18-footer over tight defense from P.J. Tucker with 10.6 to go. On the other end, Jason Kidd deflected a pass, and Sebastian Telfair stepped out of bounds with a second left while scrambling to recover the ball and get off a potential game-winner. That left the Knicks with a sideline out of bounds play with a second to go.
Here's a .GIF of the shot:
via cjzero.com
Smith stumbled on the catch, but stuck the shot, again over perfect defense from Tucker. There was a review as the shot connected after the clock expired, but Smith got the shot off with at least .4 seconds remaining.
Smith had earlier won a game on a similar shot on Dec. 5 against the Charlotte Bobcats over Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. Both times, the Knicks were without Carmelo Anthony, who had suffered a lacerated finger in that game and was out Wednesday with knee issues. Just like he had against Charlotte, Smith salsaed on his way off the court, an homage to Victor Cruz. He finished with 27 points.

text: After watching the collapse this season I find myself wondering if I should have been defending Schwartz to my friends & co-workers who were calling for him to be gone during the pre-season after all of the off-the-field issues the team was having. So after seeing several games where the team as well as coaching staff have shown a severe lack of discipline, my question is simple...Should Schwartz be fired? If you choose to vote yes then please feel free to explain who you feel may be a better fit at coach given who is out there, or if you choose to vote no then please help give me a new reason to feel that this guy is capable of turning this thing around.

MARKSVILLE, La. (KALB News Channel 5) The Spring Bayou in Marksville received some much needed help today from the Louisiana Department of Wild Life and Fisheries.
More than seven hundred acres of Spring Bayou in Marksville are covered by aquatic vegetation called American lotus.
"Spring Bayou has been the life blood of Avoyelles Parish ever since its inception of Avoyelles Parish," said Benny Bordelon.
Those familiar with the area say it's a nuisance.
"We have been having a very bad problem with surface vegetation. The native Louisiana Lilly Pad. That is what has been the hindrance here in the past several years. People have made a living in the swamp here fishing, hunting an cutting cypress trees," said Benny Bordelon.
For the first time ever, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is providing an aerial herbicide application to help produce the growth of American lotus.
Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Biologists say it's their job to keep the waterways of Spring Bayou clear for fisherman.
"This American Lotus has really large leaves and some thick big stalks that will wrap a propeller and will prevent you from getting to where you need to go," said Jonathan Winslow.
"The infested areas in there, access is hard so we are giving the recreational fisherman an opportunity to enter those areas. We do not want aquatics to get out of hand. We want to keep them under control and that is our goal," said Jody David.
With aerial herbicide application set to continue for the next three years, Spring Bayou conservationists say their goal is to provide a functional bayou for future generations.
"The Spring Bayou Restoration team is committed to continue to try and improve and restore this area for our children and our grandchildren and our great grandchildren to enjoy," said Benny Bordelon.

Agents of Change
Once more, a large enterprise proves that social engagement and financial profits are not irreconcilable, and that pairing them is even more profitable on the long run.
The perfect combination of Ben & Jerry's: delicious ice cream and genuine activism /
In 1977 Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, two American entrepreneurs with 12,000 dollars to invest, opened their first Ben & Jerry's in downtown Burlington, Vermont. The latter was done after they both completed a distance learning course on how to make ice cream.
From its very beginnings, these ex-hippy partners decided to combine corporatism and social activism, in what to them, was a natural symbiosis. Even in their first years their success was astonishing, to the degree that in 1987, Häagen Dazs, one of the first great ice cream companies in the world, decided to limit its distribution.
The couple continues to believe in their social mission to this day, and among their generally extravagant expressions of their activist philosophy, we can find the following:
· In 2005 the partners installed a huge poster outside of the American capitol after the senate proposed opening the National Artic Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling.
· Since 2003 they have put in motion a campaign to take care of the needs of the cows, producers and the environment.
· They pay their employees at least two minimum wages.
· They help the unemployed by hiring them to work for Greyston Bakery in New York; here they make brownies for one of their ice cream flavours.
· They try to answer their clients' queries in the most direct manner.
· They gave away ice creams during the Occupy Wall Street movement.
· The employees are allowed to take free ice cream home every day.
· As a company, they have publicly expressed they support for same sex marriage.
Ben & Jerry's founders are life-long friends, as well as partners. They have proven that despite their global success, their activist "extravaganza" and general coolness, lies in a genuine belief in partnering social engagement with the business world, proving they can be different sides of the same coin. As a matter of fact, this company has been a role model, showing that having a responsible philosophy behind a good product, in the mid-term proves to be even more profitable that the usual meanness attributed to most large enterprises.Tagged: Agents of Change, ice cream, civil activism, Ben & Jerry's

I have been a long time lurker here...great job on the blog. I just thought I would add a little food for thought - hopefully it hasn't already been posted somewhere. :-)
So, we just replaced Fred Jackson with CJ Spiller, David Nelson with Donald Jones, and Donald Jones with TJ Graham...in all 3 cases we significantly upgraded our team speed...If Fitzy could get used to all that speed and get on the same page with those receivers, I think we could be a much more explosive offense. It may take a few games for that to happen, but maybe it will open the coaching staff's eyes a bit.
One thing that bugs me about this coaching staff is their slow pace to put new players in place. If this team was a perennial contender, I could understand that, but we really have nothing to loose - let the young guys play and learn. A talent such as Spiller should have been used much more sooner in his career in my opinion.
For the record...I think the Bills win tomorrow...if they just throw the ball in Graham's direction, it will open things up for the offense. I think Gilmore learned a valuable lesson last week also and our top 2 corners will be much better. Also, this team was not just beaten last week, they were physically dominated...I think that type of loss will carry a little more weight than most and will really have the team fired up.

Try this Jamaican Beef Patties #1 recipe, or contribute your own. "Bell pepper" and "Meat" are two tags used to describe Jamaican Beef Patties #1.
Pastry: Preheat the oven to 400 deg F. To make the dough: place the flour and salt in a large bowl; mix well. Cut the shortening into small pieces about the size of walnuts. Add to the flour and, using your fingers, rub the flour and shortening together, making a coarse, mealy dough. Add the ice water and gather the dough into a ball. The dough should be firm and not sticky. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, but if the dough is too sticky, add just enough flour to make it form a ball. Divide the dough into 2 equal balls and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days. To make the filling: in a large skillet, cook the onion, garlic, and chilies in the oil over moderate heat for about 10 minutes, stirring from time to time. Add the beef, herbs, spices, bell pepper, and tomatoes, and cook over high heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture is thick and saucy. Add the green onions and cook for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and cool to room temperature. To assemble the patties: on a lightly floured surface, divide each ball into 2 equal balls, so that you have 4 equal balls. Flatten into disc shapes, then divide each disc into 6 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Roll each ball into a 3 1/2 inch diameter circle. Brush the edges with beaten egg. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling on one side of each circle, leaving a 1/4 inch border. Fold the dough over, making a half-moon shape. Seal the edges with the tines of a fork, and brush with the remaining egg. Bake on a lightly greased baking sheet for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the patties are golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Source: Rolled, Wrapped, and Stuffed by Janet Hazen Posted by Linda Davis CHILE-HEADS ARCHIVES From the Chile-Heads recipe list.

The 42nd anniversary of the celebration of Earth Day is approaching on April 22nd. Sen. Gaylord Nelson from Wisconsin conceived Earth Day and organized a nationwide grassroots demonstration in the spring of 1970.
This year it is estimated that 500 million people from 4,500 organizations in 180 countries will participate in Earth Day events during the month of April. What are you going to do this month to show her you love her? If you are near Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach or Topsail Beach you can join the Cape Fear Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation by cleaning up the beaches for Earth Day.
On Saturday, April 21, from 9am until 12pm meet at Access 29 at Stone Street at Wrightsville Beach, Hamlet Ave in Carolina Beach or Surf Fishing Pier in Topsail Beach. After the clean ups, head on over to Hugh MacRae Park for Wilmington Earth Day celebration.
The Carolina Beach Farmer's Market opens this Saturday at the Lake. That's like Earth Day in itself.
My suggestion is that you take reusable bags for your purchases. Last year I also learned that it was a good idea to take a few paper lunch bags for any vendors who still supply plastic. Refusing their plastic bags politely is one way of making a statement that we do not appreciate plastic bags on our beach.
Everyday I see bags blowing in the wind on our island…..urban tumbleweed they call it. It was inconvenient not having my own supply of bags at the farmer's market last year, especially when it came to weighing green beans and smaller produce. If enough of us refuse them, they will get it. A shout out goes to Veggie Wagon who provided paper bags and baskets.
Thanks Max and April and good luck on your expansion of your retail store. We are excited to see what you are up to.
Another way of celebrating Earth Day would be to enjoy Nature on Pleasure Island.
Have you ever taken the nature walk south of the aquarium?
It can be buggy, but with enough SPF, a hat and non-deet bug repellant it is an awesome exercise as you pass the hermit's bunker, walk through marshland and end up at the bay. When was the last time you visited the Carolina Beach State Park?
Earth Day reminds us to be respectful and appreciative of the wonderful world we share. Thank you Senator Nelson and all the others who, for the past 42 years have showed us how to share her grandeur. xo mo

There was 2 problems and several follow up questions. Nothing particularly difficult. I wasn't perfect at the first interview but managed to pass it. The second interview was very different. There was a lot of questions, problems, and follow up questions from different areas: network protocols, computational geometry, C++, design patterns etc. The question were very interesting.Interview Questions
No OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
- The most difficult thing was the speaking communication. May be because of the big geographical distance (I'm from Russia, they're from Canada). The quality of phone connection was terrible, especially at the second interview. Because of that I was completely disoriented and overwhelmed and wasn't able to think clearly and carefully. The questions themselves weren't very difficult. There was only a single (may be two) question that I couldn't answer correctly in principle. Answer Question

My advisor had referred me for the position. Received an email for scheduling a telephonic interview. The interview last for an hour or so. I was asked about my work experience and projects. The interviewer dod not ask any technical question from projects, it was more of what I did. He expalined the work in his team and though my skills and experience did not match any of those. (Though is was somewhat similar). I was asked just one question on writing a verilog code for a simple state machine. Wasn't asked any more questions. I wrote the code too quickly and thought he wouldn't like me to keep him waiting for too long and will also be helping me in correcting it. He then gave hints for correcting it after that.

A man came home to his Murfreesboro apartment Monday evening to discover a homophobic slur etched into his front door. John Pennington Jr., who has been openly gay since his early teens, told Nashville's News 2 it's the first time he has experienced something like this in his eight years in Murfreesboro.He also said that he moved in part to get away from bullying. "I went through some pretty intense things in my hometown," recalled Pennington. "I've seen it, I've lived it. I had to drop out of high school because of it."Pennington reported the vandalism to police Tuesday evening. He believes the gay slur was targeted at him."It's not like it happened by chance," said Pennington. "It's somebody who knows I'm gay and just decided to be vicious and do a malicious act just trying to get under my skin."Pennington told Nashville's News 2 he is speaking out to combat his fears."That's why people don't talk; because they're afraid," said Pennington. "Would I say I'm a little bit in fear? Of course I would be. Anybody would be, but I can't live my life in fear."He left a note near the front door to his controlled-access building on North Church Street, appealing to his neighbors to come forward if they know who etched the slur into his door.The manager of the Carriage House apartments told Nashville's News 2 over the telephone that they plan to have the door reprinted over the weekend.Pennington said he hopes whoever wrote that word on his door would take his mother's advice."The way my mother taught me was to treat anyone the way you want to be treated," he said.
