Motorola Launches "Carbon Neutral" Phone
Motorola recently launched what they claim to be first ever carbon neutral phone at the Consumer Electrics Show in Las Vegas. Additionally, the plastics used in the phone's exterior are made from recycled water bottles. Enter the MOTO™ W233 Renew. The company signed up with Carbonfund.org to offset the carbon produced during the manufacturing process of the handset. Distribution and operating activities are also offset. Motorola invests in the Carbonfund's program of renewable energy and reforestation investments.
When you take a close look at the phone you will see that the Carbonfund investment is not a free ticket to environmental utopia because the press buttons and the robust exterior are entirely made of the kinds of metals that still will need recycling at the end of the phone's life. But, having said that, knowing that the plastics are 100% made of recycled bottles is hopeful, especially when competitors like Nokia and Samsung are using bioplastics made from food crops. The Carbonfund also awarded Motorola with its CarbonFree® Product Certification after an extensive product life-cycle assessment.
Strengthening Renewable Energy Innovation – Corporations, Venture Capitalists, and Government Working Together
By Jim Hurd, Director, GreenScience Exchange
The United States is at a critical crossroads in its energy policy and the Obama administration is promising to completely reshape our energy objectives.
We're in a global race to develop renewable energy technologies – to compete with leading countries in Europe and with dynamic initiatives in China and Asia. New York Times columnist Tom Friedman makes this clear in his newest book, Hot, Flat and Crowded, as he warns that the US must be a leader in "ET" or Energy Technologies – the next multi-hundred billion dollar creation of global wealth.
To compete, the US has to be strong in each of the four stages of the energy innovation ecosystem:
1) Research; 2) Development; 3) Commercialization; and 4) Scale-Up and Job Creation
In the last stage of "scale up and job creation," we will see extensive green projects in the economic stimulus package. These will create jobs through the building of wind, solar and other renewable energy projects. But another critical place for the incoming administration to focus funding is that first stage of the energy technology continuum – research.
Carbon Tax Versus Cap-and-Trade
In the debate about climate change, politicians will likely become polarized between cap-and-trade supporters and carbon tax proponents. There's no precedent for a carbon tax, but it's definitely a viable alternative to carbon trading.
Last week, Exxon Mobil Corp.'s chief executive officer Rex Tillerson said he's in favor of taxing carbon dioxide emissions. "[It's] a more direct and transparent approach," Tillerson said, comparing the tax to trading carbon. Aside from Tillerson, proponents of a carbon tax include Al Gore and Ralph Nader.
The magic words associated with the carbon tax debate are "revenue neutral." That means the government lowers other taxes in order to generate the carbon tax. In addition to what seems to be consumer central thinking, the carbon tax is supposedly easy to implement on short notice. Proponents also say a new tax is efficient and relatively fraud proof.
Obama's Energy Plan: Data Dismisses Doubters
Reading the news yesterday morning, I came across a quote from Michael Morris, the CEO of American Electric Power, in regards to President Obama's goal of doubling renewable energy in three years. Morris said that as a practical matter, Obama's target is too ambitious.
Interestingly enough, American Electric Power Co. is the largest U.S. producer of electricity from coal. Of course, Morris was quick to note that he was not anti-wind or anti-solar, but rather wasn't sure we could double our renewable energy so quickly.
The Obama-Biden 'New Energy for America' Plan
Details of President Obama and Vice President Biden's 'New Energy for America' plan were released last week, another clear indication that the newly elected administration views energy policy as a means of quickly and decisively addressing issues as diverse as recession, employment, energy and national security, climate change and environmental degradation.
Looking to enact both short and longer term remedies centered on spurring development and use of renewable energy and enhancing energy conservation and efficiency, the plan's aims include:
– investing $150 billion over the next 10 years to stimulate private clean energy investments that could create as many as 5 million new jobs;
– saving more oil than we import from the Middle East and Venezuela in a decade;
– putting 1 million plug-in electric hybrid vehicles on the road by 2015, along with efforts assuring that they are manufactured in the US;
– ensuring that 10% of power comes from renewable sources by 2012, and 25% by 2025;
– and implementing a national cap and trade system with a target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 80% by 2020.
Tesco Builds New Superstore At 70% Lower Carbon Footprint Than Regular Stores
Supermarket chains in the UK are exploiting every conceivable opportunity to outsmart their competition. Hyper-inflating green credentials to win customers' favor is part of the game. That's why it's easy to be skeptical about the efforts by Tesco superstores. Arriving at a typical Tesco shop, customers are greeted by overly jovial texts on billboards. The phrase "Helping You Spend Less" complements equally vague messages about the environment. But the shop's management is working to clean up their act, embarking on a crusade to offer customers products that actually lower their carbon footprint. Tesco is even beginning to think about the "greenness" of the very shelves on which these products are placed.
Earlier this month the "greenest ever" Tesco outlet was opened in Manchester. The new store is, in fact, a progressive example of sustainability in many aspects of superstore retailing.
The US Climate Action Partnership's "Blueprint for Legislative Action," does it go far enough?
Finally. Change. Along with the new President comes a bright and contemporary perspective on how to tackle climate change. So what can we expect from the fresh-faced Obama and his team of scientifically renowned advisors? Hopefully decisive action, and a lot of it. This week in ClimatePULSE we take a look at the recently published (January 15th) US Climate Action Partnership's (USCAP) "Blueprint for Legislative Action." A self-described "detailed framework for legislation to address climate change". So, is the US Climate Action Partnership Blueprint the answer to our prayers for an economically sustainable approach to solving our climate concerns?Click to continue reading »
News Break: Obama Clears Path to Allow California Emissions Waiver and Set Standards for Improved Fuel Efficiency
President Barack Obama today signed a presidential memorandum directing the Environmental Protection Agency, now under the direction of Lisa Jackson, to reconsider the Bush-era refusal to grant a waiver to California and at least seventeen other states allowing them to set their own standards regulating greenhouse gas emissions from cars and trucks.
Despite former EPA administrator Stephen Johnson initially agreeing with staff recommendations to approve the waiver, he ultimately declined to grant it at the apparent urging of the Bush/Cheney White House. The ongoing intransigence led to Republican California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to sue the Bush administration. Numerous Congressional hearings attempted – and generally failed – to force Johnson to explain his reasoning and to what extend communications from the White House and vice president Dick Cheney's office influenced Johnson's decision
A second presidential memoranda signed by Obama directs Transportation Secretary Ray Lahood to establish rules implementing a 2007 law the requires a 40% improvement in gas mileage for cars and light trucks by 2020. The Bush administration had failed to make any progress in writing regulation to comply with the law
Obama's memorandum orders temporary regulations be in place by March to give automakers time to retool for vehicles sold in the 2011 model year. Final standards beyond that will be set in a separate process later this year taking into account "legal, scientific, and technological issues".
Obama stands ready to make good on his promise to aggressively move forward on environmental issues.
As pleased and thrilled as I was to have been in Washington last week to witness Obama's inauguration, I am even more thrilled to see him take charge on these issues. Too much time has already been wasted.
How Is Willy Wonka Like Obama? "Strike that, Reverse it"
"We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it."
That's just one of Wonka's many famous quotes in the classic 1971 film. And, if you think about it, the aphorism applies whether discussing chocolate factory tours or White House agendas.
Indeed, Barack Obama has much to do, and even less time to do it in. New policies need to be enacted that counter our current economic problems.
But before he can get to that, Mr. Obama is striking and reversing some unsavory remnants of the Bush administration's climate policy–or lack thereof.
Whether it's undoing what's been done or paving a new way forward, there seems to a green tinge on most of what's gone on in Washington since last Tuesday.
Pay careful attention, and you can see the seeds of a new energy and climate future being sewn.Click to continue reading »
California Building Owners See Green in New Regulation
by Adam Wiskind: The 2006 California Solar Initiative and the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Bill (Senate Bill 1 and Assembly Bill 32) set goals to increase solar generated electricity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in California. The new laws have prompted the California Legislature and the Public Utility Commission (CPUC) to remove regulatory obstacles for commercial building owners to implement energy efficiency measures and install solar energy infrastructure. One of the changes extends favorable tax treatment for solar installations and allows alternative energy providers to continue to forge valuable agreements with building owners. Together the government's recent efforts have revealed the significant opportunities for building owners to attract tenants, reduce costs, and generate cash flows in an otherwise tight real estate market. This article outlines the recent regulatory changes and the opportunities they provide for building owners.
In September 2007 the CPUC approved an agreement to allow electrical sub-metering of commercial tenants. Prior to this decision, building owners were prohibited from charging tenants based on a tenant's actual electricity usage. Instead, electricity bills were generally allocated on a square footage basis. A tenant who used a lot of energy might pay the same as another tenant that managed to operate more efficiently. With the new rule in place tenants can receive price signals and information about their energy usage and costs which may encourage them to participate in energy efficiency and load management programs. Building owners win in two ways. The more accurate billing allows owners to anticipate and pass on costs to tenants and it allows owners to maintain good relations with tenants who think they are being overcharged, which can happen when billing is estimated on a square foot basis. While both building owners and tenants must consent to sub-metering, an effective agreement can open discussions between parties on how to leverage alternative energy technology or behavioral change to lower overall energy bills.

|Robison says he'll be ready to return in two weeks
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 11 August 2008 14:39
The Vikings defensive end, slotted as Jared Allen's backup following a productive rookie season, had surgery last week to repair a varicose vein problem in his left leg. Robison said he actually had two blood clots taken out as the entire vein was removed during a procedure that lasted nearly two hours.
He will be welcomed back, whenever he's ready. Jayme Mitchell suffered a season-ending knee injury in Friday's exhibition game, and he was placed on injured reserve Monday along with linebacker Heath Farwell and guard Mike Jones. Defensive end Kenechi Udeze is out all year while he recovers from leukemia and a bone-marrow transplant.
Given the back injury that kept Ray Edwards out of the first five days of training camp, depth at defensive end could be a concern. Otis Grigsby is the other backup, and tackle Ellis Wyms could see some snaps there.
``Everybody is looking for that guy at that position,'' defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said. ``Everybody wants depth in the interior line and at the defensive end. So I'm sure we're not the only ones scouring the waiver wire for guys like that.''
Rookie Chris Norwell, out of Illinois, was signed as a defensive end Monday - along with offensive tackles Sean Dumford and Brock Pasteur. They took the roster spots of the three players put on IR.
Robison said he will be ready to play in the season opener on Sept. 8 against Green Bay, with a ``slight'' chance of appearing in the final exhibition game against Dallas on Aug. 28.
``If I could be out there today, I'd be out there today,'' Robison said. ``But it's one of those things where you don't want to come back too fast because it could sideline you for even a couple more weeks.''
Offensive tackles Marcus Johnson (knee) and Drew Radovich (shoulder), defensive tackle Kenderick Allen (wrist), and safeties Madieu Williams (neck) and Tyrell Johnson (abdomen) were all held out of action on Monday, too.
The costliest injury, both in terms of recovery time and player value, was to Farwell. Undrafted out of San Diego State, Farwell made the team as a rookie in 2005 and was voted Minnesota's special teams MVP last season. With the departure of Dontarrious Thomas, all three backup linebacker spots are up in the air, too, and Farwell was emerging as one of the top reserves.
``We're going to miss Heath Farwell. There's no doubt about that,'' special teams coordinator Paul Ferraro said. ``He was a tremendous player for us. He had one of the best years I've seen a special teams player have a year ago.''
Ferraro said his depth on the coverage and return units is stronger than the past two seasons, so he feels better about finding a fill-in for Farwell. Vinny Ciurcui, another backup linebacker, was signed as a free agent two years ago primarily to contribute on special teams and could see his responsibilities increase.

Laser diffraction is a widely used particle sizing technique for materials ranging from hundreds of nanometers up to several millimeters in size. The main reasons for its success are:
Laser diffraction measures particle size distributions by measuring the angular variation in intensity of light scattered as a laser beam passes through a dispersed particulate sample. Large particles scatter light at small angles relative to the laser beam and small particles scatter light at large angles, as illustrated below. The angular scattering intensity data is then analyzed to calculate the size of the particles responsible for creating the scattering pattern, using the Mie theory of light scattering. The particle size is reported as a volume equivalent sphere diameter.
Laser diffraction uses Mie theory of light scattering to calculate the particle size distribution, assuming a volume equivalent sphere model.
Mie theory requires knowledge of the optical properties (refractive index and imaginary component) of both the sample being measured, along with the refractive index of the dispersant. Usually the optical properties of the dispersant are relatively easy to find from published data, and many modern instruments will have in-built databases that include common dispersants. For samples where the optical properties are not known, the user can either measure them or estimate them using an iterative approach based upon the goodness of fit between the modeled data and the actual data collected for the sample.
A simplified approach is to use the Fraunhofer approximation, which does not require knowledge of the optical properties of the sample. This can provide accurate results for large particles. However it should be used with caution whenever working with samples which might have particles below 50µm or where the particles are relatively transparent.

North Korean heir lauded as 'supreme commander'
PYONGYANG, North Korea North Korea vowed Saturday to uphold Kim Jong Il's son as "supreme commander" as the campaign to install the young man as the next leader of the socialist nation sped up one week after his father's death.
As the grieving continued for Kim Jong Il, state media also emphasized successor Kim Jong Un's bloodline and legacy in carrying out the Kim family claim to lead and protect the North Korean people.
Kim Jong Un, who is in his late 20s and was unveiled last year as his father's choice as successor, will be the third generation Kim to rule the country since its inception in 1948.
The call to rally behind Kim Jong Un, dubbed the "Great Successor" the day his father's death from a heart attack was announced, comes amid a dramatic show of grief across North Korea. The country is to remain in an official state of mourning until after Kim's funeral Wednesday and a memorial Thursday.
Footage from Associated Press Television News in the capital, Pyongyang, showed a throng of North Koreans climbing stairs and placing flowers and wreaths neatly in a row below a portrait of Kim Jong Il as solemn music filled the air and young uniformed soldiers, their heads shaved, bowed to the portrait with their eyes closed.
A sobbing Jong Myong Hui, a Pyongyang citizen taking a break from shoveling snow, told APTN that she came out voluntarily to "clear the way for Kim Jong Il's last journey."
For days, life in Pyongyang has come to a standstill, with shops and restaurants closed. Downtown Koryo Hotel, one of several in Pyongyang catering to foreigners, was nearly empty.
But there are signs that the country is beginning to move on.
"Streets, buses and the metro are all crowded with people going to their work. They are not giving way simply to sorrow," the Korean Central News Agency said of Pyongyang. "They are getting over the demise of their leader, promoted by a strong will to closely rally around respected Comrade Kim Jong Un."
The Rodong Sinmun, the mouthpiece of the ruling Workers' Party, said in an editorial Saturday that the country would uphold Kim Jong Un as "supreme commander" with vows made in "blood and tears" before Kim Jong Il's body.
North Korea was founded in 1948 by Kim Il Sung, who retains the title of "eternal president" long after his death in 1994.
His son, Kim Jong Il, ruled as chairman of the National Defense Commission, supreme commander of the Korean People's Army and general secretary of the Workers' Party.
Kim Jong Un was promoted to four-star general and appointed a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party in September 2010. He had been expected to assume a number of other key posts while being groomed to succeed his father.
North Korea has emphasized the family legacy during the succession movement for Kim Jong Un. State media invoked Kim Il Sung in declaring the people's support for the next leader, comparing the occasion to Kim Jong Il's ascension to supreme commander exactly 20 years ago Saturday.

Cessna is feeling the
pinch. No doubt about it. The Wichita Eagle -- always a dependable
eye watching the machinations of aircraft manufacturers in the
Heartland -- reports Cessna deliveries were down 35 percent in 2003
as compared to the year before. Ouch.
And the slide isn't over yet, although Cessna professes to see
light at the end of the tunnel.
While Cessna and its parent company, Textron, expect 2004
deliveries to continue the downward trend, the company predicts a
rise in deliveries for 2005.
"We were expecting 2003 to be a challenging year, and it was,"
Cessna president and chief executive Jack Pelton said.
Cessna estimates it will deliver between 165 and 170 aircraft
this year. Deliveries of single-engine GA aircraft should remain
About 70 percent of Cessna's revenue will be generated by sales
of business-class jets, according to a company conference call with
analysts. Based on those predictions, Cessna recalled "a handful"
of workers last month and promises that "the employment outlook
remains stable."
One bright spot on Cessna's books seems to be the increased
consumer interest in the fractional jet market. "We have a very
good relationship with them," said Textron chairman, chief
executive and president Lewis Campbell. Cessna estimates about 20
percent of the aircraft it ships this year will go to fractional

The White House has provided a framework for how states could be relieved of some of the onerous federal restrictions of No Child Left Behind (NCLB), the 2001 revamp of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
The United States Department of Education and the White House formally kicked off a new national center Friday whose aim is to identify, test, and help bring to market promising education technologies. The National Science Foundation was also on hand to announce first-round funding in a separate but complementary program designed to support the development of new learning technologies.
Seven members have been named to the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB), the organization that oversees and sets policies for the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP).
Thanks to granular privacy controls and a unique interface for controlled sharing, schools that have previously banned social networks are looking at Google+ as a viable alternative.
Can we do without the traditional school year? Is it feasible to shift to a system of student advancement based solely on proficiency? In this interview, Susan Patrick, former education technology director at the U.S. Department of Education and current head of the policy group iNacol, shares her vision of what such a system would look like and what it will take to get there. (Hint: It's already underway in some states.)
K-12 education isn't using technology effectively and isn't investing nearly enough in IT infrastructure to enable next-generation learning. That's the conclusion of a new report, "Unleashing the Potential of Technology in Education," which called for a greater financial commitment to education technology and the adoption of a holistic, "closed loop" approach to its implementation.
The Partnership for 21st Century Skills has released a new toolkit designed to help state and district education leaders implement Common Core State Standards within the P21 Framework for 21st Century Skills.
Policy workarounds like "seat-time waivers" won't be enough to replace traditional age-based grade level advancement in K-12 with a competency-based system. Rather, according to a new report released by iNacol, it will take a "comprehensive policy redesign" combined with sound technology practices, professional development, and a broadly accepted, student-centered definition of competency-based learning to make that change a reality.
With the recent passage of the Digital Learning Now Actin Florida, which expands virtual education options to parents and students, one trend that finally has the power to truly revolutionize the very fabric of our education system is online learning.
Are public school districts feeling the heat when it comes to online education? Well, the Clovis Unified School District (CA) realized that, of the 200 to 400 students it was losing each year, only half were dropping out of school, the rest were opting out—and many of them were doing so because they had found that for-profit virtual schools were doing a better job of satisfying their needs. That's one of the issues to be examined in the August issue of T.H.E. Journal.

Police have seized five firearms and more than 100 rounds of ammunition from George Zimmerman's home, which he shares with his girlfriend.
Mr. Zimmerman was arrested last week at the home on suspicion of pointing a shotgun at his girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe.
According to the search warrant, three handguns, a Kel-Tec shotgun, an AR-15 and 106 rounds of ammunition were recovered, CNN reported.
Three handgun holsters, a pack of gum, a religious pendant, a flashlight, a pocket knife, a sanitizing wipe, a gun case and a combination lock also were recovered during the search, CNN said.
Mr. Zimmerman was released on bail and has entered a plea of not guilty to domestic violence. As a condition of his release, he must steer clear of two Florida addresses and give up his weapons. He also must wear a monitoring device and cannot leave the state, CNN said.

trade editionSyllabification: trade e·di·tion
Definition of trade edition in English:
An edition of a book intended for general sale rather than for book clubs or specialist suppliers.
Example sentences
- In terms of the dramatic interplay of word, image, and book, the trade edition and the magnificent Scolar Press limited edition are most suggestive.
- If the limited edition emphasizes fragmentation and reading as decomposition, the trade edition, binding word and image face to face in a codex volume, emphasizes reunion.
- This is a plain trade edition - the kind of book for which we now pay, maybe, $8.50.
Definition of trade edition in:

Lady Gaga + Katy Perry Hug It Out on Twitter
Little monsters! Katy Kats! Call off the war, please.
Little monsters! Katy Kats! Call off the war, please.
Lady Gaga and her family are dealing with a bit of professional drama in separate instances. First, Ma Monster stands accused of breaking a Russian immigration law, since she allegedly performed on a tourist visa in St. Petersburg and Moscow last year. She made money from these Born This Way Ball gigs -- $1.1 million on the St. Petersburg concert -- which is a no-no on a tourist visa.
Someone has returned to Twitter after going dark. Yep, Lady Gaga may have dropped two pegs, demoted to the third most followed person on Twitter, but she's back to using the Twitterverse to advance the 'ARTPOP' agenda.
Forbes announced its list of the highest earning celebs under 30, and leading the pack is Lady Gaga, followed by Justin Bieber -- both of whom coincidentally also have the most pull on Twitter.
Tees are a perfect summer wardrobe item, whether they boast big, bold graphics, band logos or photos, or personal statements.
Tees that talk -- that is, ones with words splashed across the front -- have been incredibly "in" over the past year. Just ask Vanessa Hudgens and Lady Gaga, who each made statements of incredibly different sorts with their word-heavy t-shirts and demonstrated that you can style tees on the high and low end.
Who run the world? Girls! At least in regards to the Forbes list that counts down the Most Powerful Musicians in the year 2013, where Lady Gaga and Beyonce sit at No.1 and No.2, respectively.
First, she attends a screening of 'The Great Gatsby' in NYC, arriving fashionably late, marking the fact that she is coming out of hibernation after recovering from hip surgery in February, which caused the tabling of her Born This Way Ball. Now, Lady Gaga is really getting back into action, giving an impromptu performance at a New York bar last Thursday, May 9.
She's the Godmother Monster now! Elton John has revealed that Lady Gaga is not only the godmother to his firstborn, Zachary, but she is also the godmother of his second son, Elijah. Those are two lucky little boys.

A surge of warm air moving northward should change snow to rain as the next in a series of winter storms arrives later today. Areas to the north of Spokane and Coeur d'Alene may see significant snow tonight as the warm air moves only as far north as northern Spokane and Kootenai counties near the major urban areas. Spokane International Airport reported 1.5 inches of snow on Tuesday. The National Weather Service has issued a complex forecast that calls for snow and rain at various locales and at various elevations/Mike Prager, SR. More here.

Back when Food Network showed shows about non-contestant forms of cooking, I used to ridicule the Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten. For one, she came off as just a HAIR aloof, like specifying to use GOOD olive oil (as opposed to the Karkov-brand swill I'd been cooking with), and oh, I don't know, LIVING IN THE HAMPTONS. For two, well…there really wasn't a 'two', I guess. I just had a thing against rich people. That, and she talked about Jeffrey too much, when you could basically see him wiping secretary lipstick off of his collar as he walked in the door at the end of the day (or at least that was my speculation).
But let me tell you a thing about her brownies: She knows how to make a damn brownie. Now, if you remember many moons ago when I wrote my last blog, I stated something about taking intelligent shortcuts and being okay with 90% of the results if it meant 10% of the work. I have no problem with boxed brownies; I will house boxed brownies all day long.
These brownies, however, are for when you want to show the love in a way that boxed brownies simply can't do. These brownies are for when you don't want to do anything else but spend an extra 20 minutes in the kitchen and have your taste buds reap all of the benefits. These brownie are when you want to give a high and tall middle finger to all those prude doctors that say, "You shouldn't consume a pound of butter and another pound of sugar." I love these brownies so much, I have the recipe displayed on the front of "Tasty Vittles", my three-ring binder of recipes (even though it's committed to memory at this point).
I'm not a natural baker. I mean, I'm not a natural COOKER, either, but, save for a mean batch of chocolate chip cookies, I really only started baking in the last couple of years. For you cookers that aren't bakers, please keep in mind that trying to amend quantities or substitute ingredients in baking is the worst idea you could ever have. It doesn't work, so don't try it. Having said that, I always omit the instant coffee granules (sorry, I don't have any Sanka sitting around the house) and the walnuts (gross), and nobody's said, "Hey, these brownies don't have enough nuts or coffee in them." These brownies are Kevin Date, chocoholic, approved.
As an additional note for you non-bakers, don't get water and chocolate mixed up – it's like getting a Gremlin wet. If you're worried your double-boiler might go amiss (or if you view a double-boiler as archaic and tedious), just microwave the chocolate chips, unsweetened chocolate, and butter. Start with 90 seconds, stir, and add 45 seconds until fully melted. AND DON'T GET IT WET. OR LET IT EAT AFTER MIDNIGHT.
Lastly, I cut this recipe in half, because I have no self-control in the field of chocolate, and don't need 1.5 square feet of brownies beckoning me. But 3/4 of a square foot? Bring it.
Recipe courtesy of Ina Garten and FoodNetwork.com :
recipe/video link: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/outrageous-brownies-recipe3.html
- 1 pound unsalted butter
- 1 pound plus 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 6 extra-large eggs (if you're halving the recipe and only have large eggs, do 3 eggs and an extra yolk)
- 3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 12 x 18 x 1-inch baking sheet.
Melt together the butter, 1 pound of chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate in a medium bowl over simmering water. Allow to cool slightly. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee granules, vanilla, and sugar. Stir the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature.
In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Add to the cooled chocolate mixture. Toss the walnuts and 12 ounces of chocolate chips in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of flour (not this much; just enough to coat), then add them to the chocolate batter. Pour into the baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes, then rap the baking sheet against the oven shelf to force the air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Bake for about 15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake! Allow to cool thoroughly, refrigerate, and cut into 20 large squares.

Charlottesville is a city that prides itself on being a great place to live for all of its citizens, but a new list out Wednesday claims it's not among the safest localities in Virginia.
"There's over 600 cities, towns, counties within the state," Albemarle County police chief Steve Sellers said. "Doesn't surprise me at all."
Home security company SafeWise released a report of the 30 safest cities in Virginia. Absent from that list is any locality within Charlottesville or Albemarle County.
The study uses FBI crime data from 2012 to make its list. Then, they look at the likelihood of crmie happening to a pool of 1,000 people in each locality.
"Really, your probability as a citizen of being involved in a type of crime or being a victim of a crime," Sellers said.
Some larger localities, like Fairfax and Alexandria, are in the top 30. Sellers said the list doesn't mean Central Virginia isn't safe, it just means people in other areas -- even larger ones -- aren't likely to be victims of crime.
"I say, 'Is the most populous jurisdiction in the state with over a million people safer to live in or is this area safer?'" Sellers said. "And invariably, people assume that this area is safer and you're going to be less of a victim."
In order to get on the list, there are steps police and the community can take.
"More citizen participation in preventing crime is critical," Sellers said. "Police-citizen partnerships are critical. Community policing, implementing community policing is critical."

FAQ - Scrap Challenge
We are so excited about our new monthly SCRAP sketch challenge. Each month, we will provide two sketches, our main sketch and a Project Life version for those of you following Project Life. Simply follow the sketch and upload your creation to SCS using the proper keyword.
There will be a random draw each month from all the participants who have uploaded their Scrap Samples to SCS using the proper keyword. Two winners will be chosen each month and the winners will receive a $15 gift voucher. If the winner used MFT stamps, they will receive $5 in bonus bucks, for a total of $20.
Please note the uploading keyword (and sketch number) will always be noted on the sketch for your convenience. The black logo is not part of the sketch. You'll also find that on every sketch, as a reminder where the sketch originated. Thanks in advance for playing along . We are SO looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
Q: What is a keyword? Where do I add that?
A: The keyword is posted in that month's SCRAP thread on SCS, and it can also be found on the sketch itself. You add the keyword during the upload process in the SCS gallery.
Q: Do you offer prizes?
A: YES! We offer two monthly prizes of up to a $20 MFT voucher. There is a random drawing of all pages uploaded prior to the deadline (which is outlined in that month's thread). The random winner will win a $15 gift voucher. If the winning pages use MFT stamps, the winners will receive an extra $5, for a total of $20!
Q: Do I have to use MFT Stamps for my scrapbook page?
A: Nope, we encourage anyone and everyone to play. We love it when you use MFT stamps and Die-namics, but you are welcome to play along with any stamps, and are still eligible to win a prize.
Q: Do I have to add a thumbnail of my scrapbook page on the monthly SCRAP thread on SCS?
A: No, but you can if you'd like to, as long as it's in addition to uploading it to the gallery. We pull the random winner from the gallery using the keyword, so that is the only way you can win.
Q: What do you do in the monthly SCRAP thread?
A: We show off our scrapbook pages, chat, encourage each other, talk about the weather... anything. Come and chat with your fellow MFT sisters if the mood strikes...
This is my first time uploading a scrapbook page at SCS and for the SCRAP Sketch and I don't think I did it right because I don't see my page when I search and it doesn't show up in recent uploads. I see it in My Gallery but I don't see it anywhere else.
A: Are you a fan club member? If not, it takes a couple hours to show up because a moderator has to approve it. If you want INSTANT uploads (your cards and pages show up in a minute or two), you can join the Fan Club! It's one of the MANY perks
Here's the link:
Join the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club: Special Galleries, Forums & More
Your sketches sometimes use Die-namics die shapes for the sketch, but I don't have that die. Can I still play?
A: Of course you can! Just substitute something of a similar size or shape. Feel free to change things up as necessary. We don't ever want to exclude anyone from playing along.
Can I enter only one scrapbook page into the gallery to be considered for a prize?
A: You can participate as much as you'd like. Feel free to enter as many times as you'd like, as long you follow the sketch. Upload one photo for each scrapbook page you create.
Q: How will I be contacted if I win?
A: We will contact you via PM (private message) on SCS. To view your PMs, simply click on the little envelope in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Your PMs are there, and are handled much like an e-mail in-box.

After a successful year-long pilot program, the Defense Department is implementing a digital mail service that cuts down on processing time and improves accountability. The new program is part of several DOD-wide efforts in business management reform.
Online delivery options for physical mail will affect roughly 27,000 DOD employees, according to a Federal News Radio report.
The Defense Post Office currently processes about 13,000 pieces of mail every day; the Digital Delivery Mail System (DDMS) cuts the time for manual processing by three hours, a DOD announcement noted.
The mail is automatically sorted, and images of each piece are scanned and entered into a central system. Employees can then log into a secure, web-based system that allows them to view their mail and determine what to do with it – deliver physically or digitally, discard or return to sender.
The electronic system improves accountability by creating a virtual paper trail; it also increases security.
"Automated tracking records and digital imaging of the incoming mail enhanced security protocols and has provided a clear picture of the volume and type of mail received daily at the Pentagon," the DOD release, posted on the Correspondence Management Division's website, stated.
According to DOD, the new system will increase speed, security, and productivity, improve continuity of operations and reduce costs over time.
A March 2012 Congressional report on defense business operations highlighted the program as one of its success stories as DOD endeavors to overhaul its business management systems and increase efficiencies.
"Even as the department strives to improve its internal processes, better rationalize its information technology investments and manage its risks, defense business systems are providing real and tangible benefits to its operations in an increasingly technological 21st century environment," DOD Deputy Chief Management Officer Elizabeth McGrath wrote in the report's introductory notes.
