Jul 3, 2014 10:03 AM by Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) - California State University, Northridge, has ordered a fraternity to suspend all its activities while the school investigates the death of a 19-year-old student on a hike.
School spokeswoman Carmen Ramos Chandler tells the Los Angeles Times that an administrative probe of Pi Kappa Phi was launched Wednesday, a day after the death of Aramando Villa.
A Los Angeles County sheriff's statement says Villa was in a group hiking off Big Tujunga Canyon Road and passed out along the trail after they apparently ran out of water. The statement says homicide detectives believe the death was accidental and possibly the result of heat stroke.
Villa was heading into his second year at Cal State Northridge and his aunt Maria Casteneda tells KABC-TV (http://bit.ly/1qSg7MK ) he was trying to get into the fraternity.
Pi Kappa Phi's national office says it is fully participating with the investigation.

Christmas gift for my daughter... December 29, 2014

Fabulous! October 21, 2014
My sisters and I got this candle for my sister that has been enduring chemo for her breast cancer to celebrate her last chemo treatment. She said she loves it - and the pictures she put on Facebook look awesome. The gift was delivered on time and wrapped beautifully. We considered many gifts before we found this: food, gift certificates, breast cancer things - but after consideration we wanted a life long gift to celebrate our cherished sister.
Easiest ordering ever! September 3, 2014
I called instead of ordering online due to a time restraint with a holiday for my mother's birthday. The representative was so pleasant and had a great, fun personality and was patient with me as I was working when I called. I'd much rather talk with someone than just order online especially when the reps are so friendly and helpful.

Whether you find him Delphic or demented, there's still reason to check in with Bob Dylan. The hardest working enigma in show business visits Milwaukee every few years. This time, he's on an arena tour that – among other things – is said to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his eponymous first record, which featured traditional folk songs like "House of the Rising Sun" and "Man of Constant Sorrow." We'll be looking for such examples of Dylan's roots and songs from his recently released album, the fury-saturated Tempest. And also, before the growling starts, some beautiful atmospherics from former Dire Straits guitarist Mark Knopfler, who opens the show.

I live in a large apartment complex with nine buildings. In the building that I live in, there is a prankster who loves to set off the fire alarms every chance they get. It can be during the day, or late at night or early in the morning. All the tenants ignore it because they know it is a false alarm. Management and Corporate have been called on this many times and they always say, "Oh, we will do something about it." Yet, nothing is ever done. I am so afraid to think that one day there just might be a fire and all of us will just ignore the alarms. Who is responsible for this? It has to stop somehow. Putting a camera by the alarms was suggested, even putting covers over them, but management and corporate won't do it. |

You could always involve the police / fire department. I used to be a supervisor in a housing complex and I had to deal with this issue. I worked with the police with setting up cameras and using black-lights to check for the relflective powder on the residents hands. Many states will hand out fines for illegally pulling alarms. We also set up a reward for anyone who gave information that led to the arrest of someone who pulled an alarm. |

HELLO! Our son is attending college in San Francisco. He and a room mate on on the top floor. Two days ago, our son was alone in the apt and taking a shower (read: long shower if I know him at all). When he shut off the shower he heard an alarm going off. Thank Gawd he checked it out. There was a major fire in the middle of the 12 story building. That said, if there were a prankster causing tenants to become complacent, I don't think my son would have given that alarm a second thought. This is serious. Remember the squeeky wheel gets the grease and keep squeeking! |

False alarms are a FELONY in htis state. Call up the fire department and se if they will do something. |
Are these being set off on purpose? Someone is pulling them? In my apartment if I cook ANYTHING in the oven (and open the oven door and steam comes out) or saute/fry anything on the stove (not even the least smokey or burned), the fire alarm in my apartment goes off EVERY TIME when there is not the least bit of threat of fire. I've asked the landlord to move the alarm appropriately so it's not so extremely oversensitive. I've taken to removing the battery while I cook, putting it someplace prominent so I remember to put it back in afterwards. It's a huge nuisance and I can't make normal or reasonable use of my kitchen without disabling it first. Grr. Just wondering if someone is really setting it off on purpose or if it's not set up correctly in their apartment? |
I think at this point you have to involve the police or fire department, they'll take it as serious you do (and rightly so) |

Thermal Testing
Getting to the meat of the performance side of things, thermal testing.
For thermal testing I decided to use a 5 mount method of logging temperatures at a fixed ambient measuring core, water, and air temperatures very carefully. Here are some of the specifics in my testing method:
- Intel i7 2600K Processor – Overclocked to 4800 MHz, 32nm, Vcore = 1.392 under load. Motherboard is an MSI P67A-GD65 with 8GB of Corsair Vengance memory. Everything else is on air at the moment. Test bench is a Danger Den Torture Rack
- 5 separate TIM applications and mounts, more if needed.
- Logging temperatures over a 45 minute test, 10 minute warmup is removed from the results, and the entire logged run is provided for review.
- Temperature Probes Deployed – I kept my sensors fairly basic, but I did run a few extra's just for interesting information. This includes a sensor for:
- 2 ea Water sensors (After radiator and pump, just before CPU block) Dallas DS18B20 Digital one-wire sensors, and CrystalFontz CFA-633
- 4 ea Air In Dallas DS18B20 Digital one-wire sensors, and CrystalFontz CFA-633
- 4 ea i7 2600K DTS sensors these were logged using Real Temp 3.67 .
- Crystal Fontz logging is accomplished through the use of their Cyrstalfonts 633 WinTest b1.9. Only special settings are turning off all packet debugger check boxes to avoid paging the processor.
- The Dallas DS18B20 Digital one-wire sensors that were used as noted above have a specified absolute accuracy of .5C with a .2C accuracy between 20 -30C temperature range. They also have resolution down to .0625C which is very good, and because they are digital they are not affected by the wiring or length of wire like thermocouples are.
- Pump – Swiftech MCP-35X with reservoir. I think this pump represents the pumping power available to many users and gives a fair amount of strong pumping power and the PWM capability makes for easy variable pumping power levels
- Radiator – The Feser Company (TFC) 480 ER radiator with Yate loon D12SL12 slow speed fans at 12V. No longer in production, but a good strong quad radiator provide roughly a 3C water/air delta when under load with the fans I'm using. The small delta means warm up time is kept to a minimum. The system will normally stabilize in under 10 minutes so there is little waste in warm up and air water variability is kept to a minimum. Users with 240 rads with similar fans should expect results to be roughly 3 degrees higher than what I have recorded.
- TIM Material – I used Arctic Cooling MX-2 for this test in a cross application method. It is considered a paste that requires very little cure and commonly enough that I felt it represent general use fairly well.
- Prime 95 Load – I used Prime 95, torture test, Custom, Min FTT 8K, Max FTT 8K, Run FFTs in place checked ON. This is an easy to use and constently loading program. It provided the most consistent loading I could find for quad cores. OCCT wasn't capable of maintaining a full 100% load and so I feel Prime 95 is a more consistent loading routine and seems to work fine. It creates 8 100% load working threads and an extreme load.
- Stock IHS – I chose to leave the IHS alone this time since it would be more representative of what most people do.
Using the "Best of 5 Mounts Approach" nets an identical result to the XT Rev1. That's very good considering there has been a pressure drop improvement.
It should also be noted that the XT was designed with the larger 45nm 1366 platform in mind, so my results on the smaller 32nm core 1155 may or may not be representative of other platforms or future platforms. Like radiators being optimized for certain fan speeds, I believe certain blocks and nozzle orientations may be optimized for specific CPUs and sockets. This is just my result on one i7-2600K processor which seems to have a vertically oriented convex IHS when mounted in the MSI 1155 retention socket.
Moving on…how about some eye candy..
I couldn't help myself with my camera, the XT happens to be very photogenic..:)
Swapping out the housing from the original Apogee XT revision 1 housing to the revision 2 was an easy way to improve pressure drop while retaining the same great thermal performance. While it may not be as dramatic in reduction as I had hoped for, it is still a good improvement and definitely a worthwhile change in revisions overall considering there was no loss in thermal performance.
The Apogee XT Revision 1 is a top end performance block, it has the best mounting system tested so far, and subjectively one of the best looking blocks as well. The XT Rev 1 is also one of the most complete Intel CPU block packages available, being the only block tested so far to also include quality metal barbs and clamps. The Swiftech Apogee XT Revision 2 builds upon the excellent XT Revision 1 by offering the same great block package and thermal performance while reducing restriction….excellent!
Where to Buy
I would recommend the following places for purchase of the XT Rev 2 housing or block:
- Swiftech sells direct the XT Rev2 housing upgrade here, or the entire block package including the new XT Revision 2 housing here.
- Sidewinder is also selling the new Apogee XT Revision 2 block package here.

Roland Lucina Ax 09: Shoulder Synthesizer or Keytar? Does It Matter What Its Called?
To me, yes it does. Keytar is just too silly for me, right down there with slanket and yogilates. I can roll with shoulder synthesizer though, and that's exactly what we have today, the Lucina AX-09 by Roland. Set to debut at Musikmesse 2010 in Frankfurt, the Lucina will apparently be marketed towards children, with a lightweight design and intuitive interface. I don't know anything about synthesizers, so I can't say whether or not the Lucina really does have an intuitive interface.
Other features of the Lucina include the 37-note, velocity-sensitive keyboard and built-in "150 sounds that cover a wide stylistic range." The Lucina also has an external in audio jack for playing audio from an mp3 or CD player, but if all you have are wav or mp3 files, just feed them to the device via its USB port, so you can play along with them without being tethered to a wire.
No word on the price yet, but Synthopia has got word that the Lucina will be cheap. Roland, if you want Lucina to be a hit with kids, make sure that Rock Band 3 and Guitar Hero 6 have shoulder synthesizers.

That instrument is the greatest idea a musical instrument manufacturer has come with for the last few years!!
It has an incredible design! It looks like a Storm-Trooper rifle!
And a built-in sound engine which makes it an individual intrument!
It's mobile, sexy, and hopefully sound awesome as Roland knows.
Most likely I'm buying it once it's out!I play keyboards with Black Metal band – Eternal Decay, from Israel.
I use Korg Karma, Korg X3, Korg X50 (For sale), Roland VP-770,
and until recently I used my Roland AX-7 Keytar. Also had a Fantom-X.–Now I've been searching for a small and portable synth,
with cool features and looks, which could be useful for me
as another layer of sounds, and a portable keyboard.
Looks like someone there at Roland, heard my prayers!
So it seems my next toy shall be the AX-9!!
actually it doesent look like a stormtroopers rifle
And also in Black! Thank goodness! Hope the Midi specs are up to snuff…
Everyone seems to have missed the AX-Synth, which is much better to get. Yeah it's a few hundred dollars more, but it doesn't look retarded and it has more sounds.
Haha there is a Keytar on Rock Band 3! Looks like Roland are in luck :P
Can't split the keyboard!! =( bought it and THEN realized this. I thought this was a standard feature with Midi controllers. Oh well..
Too much fun and excellent midi options

Lincoln Mall: Matteson's multimillion-dollar money pit

Updated: February 10, 2014 11:47AM
Matteson bet big on Lincoln Mall and lost.
A SouthtownStar review of financial records shows that the village has given nearly $9 million to the mall's former developer, Realty America Group, which failed to renovate the indoor mall, including a new food court and a movie theater, as originally envisioned in a now-defunct redevelopment agreement.
And even though the company declared bankruptcy and no longer controls the beleaguered retail center, Matteson is on the hook to pay one of the developer's former partners more than $2 million in property tax revenue from the mall — a leftover obligation from a $10 million IOU Realty America Group received in 2007 to start the mall renovation.
Also, an internal memo from the former village attorney indicates that there were important omissions in the redevelopment agreement, including that the developer did not provide a budget for the renovations, a completion date or any indication of how the public funds specifically were to be spent, among other problems.
Today, the mall, U.S. 30 and Cicero Avenue, is a skeleton of the thriving regional center that opened in 1973. About half of it is vacant, three of its four anchor stores are empty, and what once was a Montgomery Ward store remains an unfinished and unsightly demolition zone.
Making matters worse, the mall is in legal limbo. In August, the village sued its current owner, persuading a judge to appoint a receiver for the property to address several fire and safety violations. A hearing in that lawsuit is set for Thursday at the Cook County Courthouse in Markham.
John Suzuki, president of Collateral Trustee, the mall's receiver, has testified in court that the mall is losing about $100,000 a month and its owner owes about $1.5 million in unpaid property tax for the past two years.
"I can't turn back the hands of time," said Mayor Andre Ashmore, who voted for the redevelopment plan as a village trustee. "It's one of those hard lessons and an expensive one we had to learn."
Bright beginnings
The future of Lincoln Mall looked bright when Matteson entered into the redevelopment deal with Realty America in April 2004. Led by Texas businessman Rives Castleman, the company had bought the mall in 2003 for $10 million and planned to spend $116 million to redevelop the property.
The plan called for stores on outlots, a movie theater, a 5,000-square food court, a recreational path over Cicero Avenue to the mall and five new restaurants, among other amenities. The new Lincoln Mall could generate as much as $60 million in total property tax income by 2026, according to projections contained in the agreement.
"They (Realty America) came in with pretty high hopes, and we bought into those hopes because we wanted the mall to move forward as badly as anyone else," said village Trustee Sam Brown, who voted for the deal.
Financing for the extensive renovation was to come from three of the village's tax increment financing districts, which are designated areas that provide special tax breaks to encourage development or redevelopment.
Under the contract between Matteson and Realty America, the village would reimburse the company for project costs by drawing on $6.2 million from the accounts of two of the TIF districts. And the annual property tax revenue generated by the two districts was diverted to a new Lincoln Mall TIF district to fund the redevelopment.
The village also agreed in 2004 to take out a $10 million loan for the project, with a total interest cost of about $2.44 million. The village still owes about $1.36 million in interest and principal on the loan, which is due by December 2017. Money to repay the loan comes out of the Lincoln Mall TIF district.
Additionally, the village in 2007 pledged an additional $9.89 million in future property tax income from the mall to pay Realty America Group over several years for its initial project costs.
Anthony Licata, an attorney for the village, said Realty America Group then sold $2 million of that future tax revenue to a partner, Oklahoma-based W.C. Payne Trust, for upfront money. That agreement calls for the money to be repaid annually out of the mall's property tax revenue, with a 9.5 percent interest rate.
The loan is due in 2026, but Lincoln Mall isn't producing enough tax revenue to meet the annual payment and the loan is unlikely to be repaid in full, Licata said.
Banking records show that Matteson has paid Realty America Group a total of $8.7 million, a figure that differs from the $12.9 million cited in a breach-of-contract lawsuit Realty America Group filed against the village in 2009. Licata couldn't account for the discrepancy but said the village may have paid vendors directly instead of the company for some of the mall project.
Either way, Licata suggested that the spending's financial impact on the village was limited because the property tax money given to the developer was generated by the TIF districts rather than Matteson's general revenue.
Tom Tresser, who runs the TIF Illumination Project in Chicago, disagreed with that suggestion.
"For every dollar you peel away from the public treasury and give it to Mr. Mall Owner, that's a dollar less to give to your schools, your public roads, your library and your police department," Tresser said. "It's positioned as if money is created from nothing, like it's magic beans. These are property tax dollars."
Questionable contract
In 2009, the village tapped its former attorney Kathleen Orr, to review the original redevelopment agreement with Realty America Group. In her report, Orr says the contract did not explain how the TIF money was to be applied to the site and a list of projected costs in the contract included expenses that were not TIF-eligible, such as new construction.
Orr also found that the contract did not contain a timeline for the renovations project, a completion date or a budget for the project, ensuring that the village would not know what proportion of the project the TIF district funds were covering. She also said a clause in the contract left Matteson responsible for the difference between the purchase and sale price of any building on the property.
"The potential for abuse is incalculable," according to Orr's report, which urged the village to renegotiate the contract with Realty America Group.
Licata wrote in an email he didn't think Orr's assessment of the plan mattered.
"Ms. Orr's views were written after the deal was negotiated, and it's always possible, with the benefit of hindsight, to make observations about what might have been done better," he wrote.
The ambitious redevelopment project, which began in 2005, halted in 2007 when Realty America Group defaulted on its mortgage. That year, a new street was finished, running east from Cicero Avenue, around the mall and then north to U.S. 30. Along the road are freestanding Target and J.C. Penney stores that were part of the project.
That's all that was accomplished, aside from some demolition on the east side of the mall that has left a potentially hazardous eyesore, according to village officials.
"I think the real source of the problem here is that a cycle ripped through the American economy in 2008 and 2009, and we are still, five years later, coping with the consequences of it," Licata said. "This is a great example of the hardship and devastation of this (recession)."
Realty America declared bankruptcy in May 2009. Two months later, it sued Matteson to try to recover $13.9 million in reimbursement fees it claimed it was owed. The village settled the lawsuit in April 2012 for $450,000.
Licata said the settlement cleared the village of paying the $7.89 million in future property tax revenue that the village had pledged to Realty America Group.
Lincoln Mall changed hands most recently in June 2010, when New York-based Lincoln Mall Holding LLC bought the property for $150,000 and back property tax. The village threatened to shut down the mall in a lawsuit filed against the company in August, claiming numerous safety and fire violations.
Michael Ashenbrener, an attorney representing Lincoln Mall Holding, said the lawsuit was an attempt by the village to "undue some of the unfortunate results" that occurred regarding the mall during the past decade.
Cook County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Condon allowed the mall to stay open, appointed a receiver and mandated that the owner turn over $200,000 for repairs. So far, Lincoln Mall Holding has only paid for $100,000 worth of repairs.
Threatening to hold the company in contempt of court, Condon last month ordered that an officer of Lincoln Mall Holding attend Thursday's court hearing to explain why the company hasn't paid the full $200,000. The money is needed to build fire exits, Licata said.
So far, village officials are encouraged by Condon's rulings in the lawsuit. Ashmore called the appointment of the receiver the "most positive thing that has happened to the mall in 10 years." He also said the village would continue "looking forward," despite the high price it has paid to try to keep Lincoln Mall operating.
"We would like to have some of that money back if we would have known it would have turned out this badly," Ashmore said. "It was a good sound agreement, but there was a lack of management on the part of the owner, coupled with a bad economy … and it was a recipe for disaster."

How to Use a Portable Solar Shower
Part of the Solar Power Your Home For Dummies Cheat Sheet
You can use a portable shower that uses solar energy to heat the water. Solar showers are convenient for camping and backpacking. You can hang one out by your swimming pool for a quick, simple rinse. To use a solar shower, follow these steps:
Fill a specially constructed plastic bag with water and then place it in direct sunlight to heat up.
The top of the 5-gallon bag is clear, and the back wall is black to absorb maximum sunlight. To warm the water of your portable shower, simply position the bag so that the clear top faces the sun. Most portable showers come with a thermometer so you know when the water's reached a comfortable temperature.
When the water's hot enough, hang the bag from a tree for a gravity-fed, hot shower.
Portable showers can get really hot, over 120°F, so beware. Always sample the temperature before you step in.
A mild acidic solution that falls in rain or as dry particles caused when fossil fuel burning produces sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Acid rain has been linked to damaging effects on waterways and forests.
A strategy for designing high-performance, ultra-energy-efficient buildings. Active solar incorporates all the elements of a passive solar design with additional mechanical equipment, such as pumps or fans, to take advantage of the heat from the sun.
Wind, hydro (water), biomass (fuel from natural material such as crops and agricultural waste), and solar power.
Made from materials that will decay and break down into naturally occurring elements in a fairly short amount of time.
Fuel made from natural material such as crops and agricultural waste.

Carbon released when many substances — particularly fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal — are burned by vehicles and planes; by the manufacturing processes of many consumer goods; and by the heating, cooling, and electricity for your home.
The amount of land needed to support a person's consumption of goods and resources. It describes the amount of land required to farm a person's food, mine their energy sources, transport their goods and services, and hold their waste.
The state of reducing a person's carbon emissions as much as possible and balancing the remaining carbon emissions by offsetting them with processes that consume carbon.
Paying for or participating in programs that reduce the carbon in the atmosphere. Purchased shares go toward reducing the same amount of environmental costs that an activity expends. Carbon offset programs or projects often involve tree planting because trees have a huge capacity to absorb carbon from the atmosphere. Other programs involve everything from supporting solar and wind power to replacing fossil fuel–burning stoves in developing countries with more sustainable energy sources.

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN insider: Cardinals just 'got beat' by Chiefs
For a brief moment in time it appeared Andy Reid was going to be the next head coach of the Arizona Cardinals.
Then Reid interviewed with the Kansas City Chiefs, and that idea flew out the window.
Word leaked early Thursday that Reid to the Chiefs was 'imminent', and that the Cardinals were in turn setting their sights on other options.
Given that it appears Arizona may have been used as leverage, people are wondering if the Cardinals "got played" by the Reid camp.
"I think they just got beat, more than anything else," ESPN NFL insider John Clayton told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Thursday, noting a deal is not officially done yet. "I think you can see where structure wasn't going to work."
Clayton said Reid will have more freedom in Kansas City than he would have in Arizona, as Cardinals president Michael Bidwill is also searching for a new general manager as well as a coach. It's been reported that Reid would like to bring his own general manager along, and that may not have jived with what Arizona wanted to do.
But still, Reid had every intention of chatting with the Cardinals.
"Now, he planned to come out (to Arizona)," Clayton added. "Went nine hours [Wednesday], it went well.
"Then they get up this morning and they start hashing things out and according to a source, when Andy started going over what they talked about he said 'that sounds good to me.'"
Clayton said Reid and the Chiefs are now in the stage of working out contract numbers, figuring the coach will make around $7.5 to $8 million along with having plenty of control over personnel, which is a number the Cardinals may not have wanted any part of.
"That's why he called and cancelled the flights, and he still left it open for if things fall apart that he can go there, but he's going to end up in Kansas City."

CHP Basics
What is CHP?
Combined heat and power (CHP), also known as cogeneration, is the simultaneous production of electricity and heat from a single fuel source, such as natural gas, biomass, biogas, coal, waste heat, or oil. CHP is not a single technology, but an integrated energy system that can be modified depending upon the needs of the energy end user. By installing a CHP system designed to meet the thermal and electrical base loads of a facility, CHP can greatly increase the facility's operational efficiency and decrease energy costs. More information can be found on the Basic Information page.
How does CHP work, and what are the key technologies?
CHP systems consist of a number of individual components configured into an integrated whole. These components include the prime mover (i.e., heat engine), generator, heat recovery, and electrical interconnection. The type of equipment that drives the overall system (i.e., the prime mover) typically identifies the CHP system. Prime movers for CHP systems include reciprocating engines, combustion or gas turbines, steam turbines, microturbines, and fuel cells. Detailed information about how CHP technologies work along with cost and performance information can be found in the Catalog of CHP Technologies.
What fuels can be used in CHP systems?
CHP systems are "fuel-neutral," which means that they can run on a variety of fuel types, such as natural gas, biomass, biogas, coal, waste heat, or oil. The type of fuel used depends on availability and the type of prime mover employed. More information about the fuels available for different prime movers can be found in the Catalog of CHP Technologies. In addition, information specific to biomass-fueled CHP can be found on the Biomass CHP page and in the Biomass CHP Catalog of Technologies.
What are the benefits of CHP?
CHP plays an important role in meeting U.S. energy needs as well as in reducing the environmental impact of power generation. Benefits include:
- Efficiency Benefits: CHP requires less fuel to produce a given energy output, and avoids transmission and distribution losses that occur when electricity travels over power lines.
- Reliability Benefits: CHP can be designed to provide high-quality electricity and thermal energy to a site regardless of what might occur on the power grid, decreasing the impact of outages and improving power quality for sensitive equipment.
- Environmental Benefits: Because less fuel is burned to produce each unit of energy output, CHP reduces air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
- Economic Benefits: CHP can save facilities considerable money on their energy bills due to its high efficiency and can provide a hedge against unstable energy costs.
Where does CHP make sense?
CHP is ideally suited for applications that have coincident thermal and power loads. CHP is most economical in applications that have high thermal loads and in areas where electricity costs more than $0.07/kilowatt-hour on average. CHP technology has been successfully installed in a wide variety of energy-intensive facility types and sizes nationwide, including:
- Industrial manufacturers - chemical, refining, ethanol, pulp and paper, food processing, glass manufacturing
- Institutions - colleges and universities, hospitals, prisons, military bases
- Commercial buildings - hotels and casinos, airports, high-tech campuses, large office buildings, nursing homes
- Municipal - district energy systems, wastewater treatment facilities, K-12 schools
- Residential - multi-family housing, planned communities
The CHP Partnership has targeted some of its analysis and outreach efforts to increase awareness and adoption in three strategic market sectors: dry mill ethanol production, hotels and casinos, and municipal wastewater treatment facilities, and utilities. More information about these sectors can be found on the CHP Markets page.
How are CHP projects developed?
CHP project development usually entails five distinct stages: qualification, level 1 feasibility analysis, level 2 feasibility analysis, procurement, and operations and maintenance. The Project Development page provides information, tools, and hints on each of these stages of development, as well as information about how to access the assistance of the CHP Partnership.
Public Recognition Opportunities
What are ENERGY STAR® CHP Awards and how do I apply for one?
EPA awards the ENERGY STAR® CHP Award to leaders who increase the nation's electric generation efficiency through the development of highly efficient combined heat and power (CHP) projects. The ENERGY STAR CHP Award recognizes projects that require at least 5 percent less fuel than state-of-the-art separate heat and power generation. There is no deadline for submitting award applications. The Partnership accepts and processes applications continuously and presents awards at key events, such as our CHP Partners meeting or other Partner events. More details about how to apply can be found on the Public Recognition page.

Protesters in Wisconsin have showed no sign of backing down over the state's Republican-backed anti-union legislation.
Capitol police officials decided not to go through with their plans Sunday to forcibly remove the demonstrators from the state capitol building after many ignored a 4 p.m. deadline to leave.
"People here have acted lawfully and responsibly," Capitol Police Chief Charles Tubbs said. "There's no reason to consider arrests." Dozens of activists have camped out at the capitol building for two weeks in protest of legislation aimed at weakening unions. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says removing union bargaining rights will help close a projected $3.6 billion state budget deficit.
"Year after year, governors and legislators before us have kicked the can down the road," Walker said. "We can't do that. We're broke. It's about time someone stood up and told the truth in our state and said here's our problem, here's the solution and let's do this." Meanwhile, governors in other states have been facing similar budget battles. On Sunday, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said she supports Walker's actions.
"You know, what we have to remember is we appreciate our public employees," Haley said. "But our job as governors is to look after the tax payers. And he's doing exactly what he promised to do - he is trying to trim his budget."
"He is trying to make the tough decisions that the people of Wisconsin wanted him to do," the South Carolina governor added.
Democrats who fled the Badger State to avoid a vote on the issue say they won't return back until the governor is willing to negotiate.

No country in the world yet claims to have a complete set of
workable procedures for integrating the subsystems of a total
manufacturing operation. The approaches currently being applied
differ according to the traditions, resources, economic systems, and
aims of the various countries. Nevertheless there is considerable
cross-fertilization (e.g. [1,2,3~) and general optimism.
In Japan a concurrent scheme of two strategies has been operating
since the mid-1960s. The first of these strategy-components has been
a succession of government-sponsored and organized projects for the
theoretical and experimental study of long-term fundamentals (Direct
Numerical Control, followed by the "Methodology of Unmanned Manufac-
turing," and now the "Flexible Manufacturing System Complex with
Lasers. Each of these projects has helped to develop a national
terminology; a consensus among management, government, labor,
financiers, and technicians on long-term aims and limitations; a
framework for shorter-se'= company tactics; a general appreciation of
the need for standardization and the limitations it imposes; and,
finally, a sound foundation for training the CAD/CAM engineers of the
Parallel with their active and enthusiastic participation in these
long-term projects, the Japanese companies have developed mainly
pragmatic methods for integrating machine tools and transport
equipment into flexible manufacturing systems (FIRS). Machining
information--generally in International Standards Organization (ISO)
or RS tape format--is transmitted to standard CNC units in what is
little more than an accelerated BTR (behind-the-tape reader) mode, and
is stored there (mostly in bubble memories). The "tape" information
is generated off-line, by computer-aided manual numerical control (NC)
programming procedures, but these are very rarely linked organically
to CAD or even to computer-aided process planning. Two integrative
features, on the other hand, are very advanced indeed: one of these
is the on-line scheduling of the systems (which in fact pulls the
OCR for page 55
whole act together at a very high level); the other is the advanced
monitoring and failure-detection apparatus that makes "unmanned
machining" pass ible in the second and third shifts .
Current research work at the leading Japanese univers ities is
aimed at the development of geometric modeling and process planning
systems (GEOMAP, TIPS) which hopefully will allow the numerous extant
FMS plants to take a s tep toward CAD/CAM integration. At the same
time the factories are' exploiting the previous efforts invested in
standardization by offering a broad spectrum of manufacturing
"modules," "cells," and "islands," which can--at a relatively low
systems level--be fairly easily linked and then integrated by
high-level scheduling.
At this time a proposal is in an advanced stage toward acceptance
for the establishment of a national program on "Manufacturing Softwar
Engineering." This will use the "Flexible Manufacturing System
Complex with Laser" hardware as a test bed for the entire life-cycle
of complete CIM sys tems .
In Europe, the USSR and Germany have a long-standing tradition
(dancing back to the late 1920s ~ of concern with the scientific
determination of cutting technologies. This has led in the Soviet
Union and the two postwar German states to the concentration of much
effort on computer-aided parts classification, process planning
(determination of cutting condition, machine and tool selection,
optimal trajectory determination), the establishment of machinability
data banks, etc. In due course the highly developed suites of
programs developed for these purposes came to be regarded as the
principal mode for designing manufacturing systems for integrating CAD
and CAM and for providing data to scheduling. Internal part represen-
tations were based on the process classification schemes. In recent
years, however, academic research has been oriented toward increasing
the weight of geometrical modeling as the integrative factor.
In the USSR there is currently a very powerful concentration of
resources on the rapid implementation of EMS in a large number of
plants (e.g., 16 agricultural machinery plants are now simultaneously
installing such systems). The key word is standardization: the
plants are all using the same computers, the same control units, and
the same modular software system (MEMO), with many standardized
subsystems, standard tooling, pallets, fixtures, etc. [4~. In these
systems the link to CAD is rather tenuous, but the process planning
systems (and their links to scheduling and manufacture) are very
powerful. A rather similar approach is being adapted in
France and Hungary have traditions in mathematical abstraction
and analysis. In both countries computer-based systems have been
developed and are being industrially tested for the analysis and
synthesis of large, highly integrated systems. Taking as their points
of departure the ideas originally proposed by Hori and Ross in the
OCR for page 55
United States and later embodied in the ICAM Definition program,
researchers have sought to integrate these with the facilities of
Petri-nets, relational data bases, simulation techniques, interactive
graphics, etc., to offer the designer a broad palette of interrelated
design tools. The initial industrial experiences have pleased users
in both countries.
The United Kingdom and France have long been pioneers of numerical
geometry and later of geometric modeling. (Bezier first integrated
the design and manufacture of automobile bodies; Braid invented
set-theoretic solid modeling.) In both these countries an intimate
integration of design and manufacture has been,achieved in a few
selected areas (mainly automotive and aerospace). Similarly,
integrated CAD/CAM systems are now appearing--e."., for mold and die
manufacture. None of these, however, has links to scheduling and
Finally, mention should be made of the work being conducted in a
number of countries (e.g., Norway, UK, Japan, USSR) to develop
multilayer, multiuser data base management systems that, it is hoped,
will cover the whole area and facilitate integration. It is also
hoped that these will later operate in a distributed mode through
local-area networks. (The latter--and particularly their
standardization--are of course themselves powerful factors for
Joint German-Norwegian CAD/CAM Integration Program
Through agreements between the West German and Norwegian govern-
ments, a joint German/Norwegian R&D program is under way called
Advanced Production System (APS). It is aimed at joint development of
an integrated CAD/CAM system. The prime members are Fraunhofer
Institute for Production Planning and Design Engineering, Technical
University of Berlin; the Laboratory for Machine Tools and Manufac-
turing Engineering, Technical University of Aachen, West Germany; the
Foundation for Scientific and Industrial Research, Norwegian Institute
of Technology, Trondheim, Norway; and the Central Institute for
Industrial Research, Oslo, Norway. In addition, some 13 industrial
companies in the two countries are participating in the program.
These include seven system suppliers (four from Germany, three from
Norway) and six system users (three from Germany, three from Norway).
The program began in early 1981, and a short-term phase will run
through 1985, with a long-term phase running through 1990. These
phases are intended to produce a first-generation integrated system
(for sale or use by the participating companies), based on integration
of existing software modules, by 1985, and a second-generation
integrated system, developed from scratch, by about 1990.

It is apparent (and appreciated by all the countries concerned)
that none of the methods they have separately or jointly developed is
as yet suitable for the fool-proof design and implementation of the
"factory of the future." However, all of the methods have some thin"
to offer and have allowed spectacular progress to be made. It is
widely appreciated that only the synthesis of the extant approaches,
the deepening of our theoretical understanding, and, above all, the
acquisition and sharing of much more practical experience can lead to
a usable "science" of integration.

- Floodplain forests are beautiful places, with large trees and graceful ferns, influenced over thousands of years by periodic flooding.
- Floodplain forest have become increasingly rare throughout the Connecticut River watershed because of conversion to agriculture and development.
- To better understand and restore these remarkably diverse forests, the Conservancy is making a detailed assessment of the floodplain forests throughout the Connecticut River watershed.
- Almost entirely gone from the watershed's floodplain forests are giant elms. Here's a slippery elm in the Westfield (Mass.) River watershed that survived Dutch elm disease.
- American elms once graced many of New England's city streets until Dutch elm disease wiped them out beginning in the mid-1900s.
- New disease-tolerant varieties of elms have been developed by the U.S. Forest Service. They should approach heights of 100 feet and live more than 100 years.
- The Conservancy and volunteers are planting different varieties of these special elms in floodplain forests, keeping track of each elm planted.
- Elms planted last year in the upper Connecticut River valley are doing remarkably well.
- Volunteers, like this family in Glastonbury, Ct., are helping the Conservancy restore American elms to their former place in the Connecticut River's floodplain forests.

I do stained glass and have alittle knowledge about solder & soldering irons . The one thing I haven't been able to solder is stainless steel . I know it can be done . I'm trying to incorporate stainless steel (such as silverware ) with my leaded panels. St.S. needs so much heat - it melts the lead . I've tried acid core solder , 95% tin - no luck . I've tried filing the area to be soldered and wire brushing it - no luck . The tip of my iron gets up to 600° to 700°... torches discolor & melt everything . I have a website bookmarked that shows stained glass wrapped with lead soldered onto stainless steel . I'm at a loss as how to do it. Is there a simple way ?

Kathy, see link. You must be doing soft solder?? I always use silver solder, have done stainless... I guess the color of silver is not what you're after. Konrad |

Thank you Konrad ! Ok ..... I'll probably get deleted for showing you the website of the soldering I want to copy ... but you can see how this is what I'm looking for ..... |
- Posted by konrad___far_north (My Page) on Thu, Feb 19, 09 at 22:02
Hm..this looks nice and prices are right...for the work that goes in! Have you tried following instructions on the website?...it should be possible but then, you don't know what grade stainless she is using, this could make a difference too. |
I don't know if it was silver solder, but I used to have a roll of solder touted to work with dissimilar metals. You could do a broader search and see, but maybe silver solder is the way to go. Could you use an epoxy adhesive for just that part? Something like JB weld for example? |

Tapioca Pudding Recipe
Tapioca Pudding Recipe: In a medium sized, heavy bottomed saucepan combine the milk, cream, salt, sugar, tapioca, and beaten egg. Let sit for about 10 minutes. Place the saucepan over medium heat and, stirring slowly but constantly, bring to a full boil. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the pudding cool, untouched, in the saucepan for 20 minutes. (The pudding will still be quite thin after this time.) Stir the pudding and then pour it into your serving cups or bowls. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for several hours, or even overnight.
If desired, garnish with lightly sweetened whipped cream and chopped nuts. Can also serve with fruit sauces or jams.
Makes 4 - 6 servings.
Tapioca Pudding Recipe:
2 cups (480 ml) whole milk
1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy (whipping) cream
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup (65 gram) granulated white sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons quick-cooking (minute or instant) tapioca
1 large egg, well beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
