Nearly two-thirds of energy input is lost as waste heat. Now Northwestern University scientists have discovered a surprising material that is the best in the world at converting waste heat to useful electricity. This outstanding property could be exploited in solid-state thermoelectric devices in a variety of industries, with potentially enormous energy savings.

FreeStreet is a suspended street lighting system, that doesn't require streetlight poles Image Gallery (4 images) A group of people including city planners and architects recently put a challenge to Dutch electronics company Philips: design an outdoor lighting system that helps to declutter our streets.
The result was FreeStreet, a street lighting system that does away with vertical streetlight poles in favor of horizontally-strung cables that have clusters of LED lights built into them. The system won its designers a 2011 Dutch Design Award, and is available for use in Europe as of this month. Non-glare nanotextured multifunctional glass repels water and dust. Glass has a unique look - despite its clarity you can tell there is a material there by the way it reflects light, and that it isn't plastic or crystal.
Glass, however, carries problems, like glare, fogging, and collects dirt. A group of MIT researchers has found a new way to create arrays of conical micron-scale surface nanotextures to produce glass that is self-cleaning, non-glare, and non-fogging. The researchers believe the nanotextured surface can be made at low enough cost to be applied to optical devices, the screens of smartphones and televisions, solar panels, car windshields and even windows in buildings. While many other approaches toward self-cleaning, non-glare and non-fogging glass surfaces have been tried, including surface hairs, mimicking lotus leaf surfaces, using non-fogging nanosilica polymers and electrically charged self-dusting surfaces, the MIT group is the first to find a single surface modification that boasts these combined properties.

Light beam emitted by these lasers are combined by interference filters, also called dichroic mirrors or just "dichro". The principle of those filters operation is similar to the principle of Fabry-Perot interferometer operation. The effect is that light of a given wavelength (or a band) is very well reflected, while others are very well passed (or vice versa). Those filters have to be very precisely aligned at right angles, so that the light beam can best overlap. For convenient adjustment of this type of optics, special handles are used.

Technical design[edit] Concept[edit] In 1980, Jacques Cousteau dreamed of creating a ship with a modern engine that would be powered, at least in part, by the wind, a clean, free, renewable energy source. The idea of using a hollow, rotating metal cylinder for propulsion, the Flettner rotor, had been tried and discarded decades before Cousteau and a team of engineers decided to revive and improve on it. Calypso II. Calypso II, " Watchdog of the Planet ", will be an observation platform where Captain Cousteau's spirit of environmental and human discovery will live on.
Fifty years of experience with Calypso and Alcyone enabled Captain Cousteau to define a list of specific tasks for Calypso II. The ship itself is conceived as a laboratory for non-polluting technology. Innovations include the shape of its hull as well as the combination diesel-Turbosail propulsion system, navigation equipment and computerized monitoring networks. Calypso II will be spacious enough to house scientific laboratories and exploration systems (observation chamber aft, helicopter, autonomous submersible, seaplane).

Panko Baked Chicken Nuggets
We all know how unhealthy chicken nuggets can be right? Well not anymore with this no fuss and simple recipe.
Chicken nuggets can be fried and breaded in many different ways making them even unhealthier so this is an easy and fast alternative for those famous chicken nuggets that are very popular among kids :-) This one is very popular in my household!
Anyhow, there isn't that much to say about this recipe. You can season the breadcrumbs as you wish and use this with a firm fish as well. I have done that before using tilapia and it works wonderfully.
Baked chicken nuggets
Miryam's original recipe
Yield: 4 servings
1 1/2 lb chicken breast, cut into cubes, I buy mine organic
2 eggs, beaten
2-3 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 400F. Grease a square baking pan. ( I use a deep rectangular one)
Set up a breading station with one bowl for the eggs and one for the breadcrumbs, oregano and salt. (feel free to season panko breadcrumbs as you wish).
Bread each chicken piece by coating it in the egg, followed by the bread crumbs. Place in the baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes turning chicken halfway through.
Serve however you wish. I accompanied mine with some green beans :-)

I make the same thing, but don't bake it for anywhere near as long. Ten minutes on one side, turn over, and five on the other. Make sure to spray some veg spray before baking, and when you turn them over. In my experience, the short baking time guarantees that they will be really moist.
I do grease the baking pan prior and also bake the chicken a bit longer but at a lower temperature. We like it this way better but you can cook the chicken a shorter amount of time if you prefer at a higher temperature. I guess it is just what one's prefers :-)

Gone too soon….baby burial layettes
BySometimes we have to say goodbye before we get to say a decent hello. Such is the case with tiny babies born to grieving parents who never got to say hello or have only minutes or a few bittersweet hours to say goodbye and hello at the same time. These precious bundles of love straight from heaven from God's hands to our hearts only need one last little gown, bonnet and blanket to be snuggled in.
There are special angels here on earth who answer the call to provide the tiny gowns called Angel Wing Burial gowns that go in the burial layettes. The pattern for this gown was designed by Dot Fulton of Missouri to fit the little ones God has called home after being here for such a brief time. Dot has since passed away and has now joined the angels she has provided so many perfectly made little gowns for.
A large box of burial items was just donated to the Texas County Memorial Hospital in Houston, Missouri – along with blankets, swaddler blankets, and soft Ty Beanie Baby Fleece Lambs for momentos for the parents to keep to remember their little one by.

I just lost my baby and need a layette for burial. Someone please help… He is 4 oz. 6.5 in long…
Dear Amie,
A private email has been sent to you, our sincere condolences on the loss of your baby. We will immediately send out an infant burial layette as soon as you send the information of the hospital to send it to.
Soft Hugs,
Relief Share

Enjoy! Thanks for the Supreme Power entry. While I haven't read it, as a Marvel fan, and as someone who appreciates J. Michael Straczynski on Babylon 5, I can't wait to do so :) I have edited it a little, and added a cleanup tag. I can point you at Runaways and Spider-Girl for what I think of as good comic book formatting. As not many people here were interested in comic books, there isn't a wide consensus: I mostly copied the formatting of Television shows, which was useful. If you think that some things could be done better, it is quite possible they could: however, I would like visual uniformity on wikiquote, so if you do feel you want to do something different, I'd appreciate it if you dropped a note on my talk page, so we could discuss it.

At a remote outpost by the Canadian border, Bill Stenger is overseeing what he says is the biggest economic development project that Vermont has ever seen. He is expanding the Jay Peak ski resort, which he co-owns, but he is also building a biomedical research firm and a window manufacturing plant, extending the runway at the local airport and rehabilitating much of the nearby town of Newport.
Property | International
Finding investors the easy way
US government uses chance of citizenship to stimulate growth in stagnant areas
There, he is developing the waterfront, adding the town's first hotel and a conference centre and rebuilding an entire downtown block. He is also creating what he says is the largest indoor mountain bike park in the world and a state-of-the art tennis centre. The price tag for the entire project, which Stenger says will create 10,000 direct and indirect jobs over several years, is $865 million (Dh3.17 million).
But even more unusual than the size of the undertaking is the method by which Stenger and his business partner, Ariel Quiros, are financing it. They have tapped into a federal program that gives green cards, or permanent residency, to foreigners who invest at least $500,000 in an American business — the reward for the investment is a chance at US citizenship.
Stenger has attracted 550 foreign investors from 60 countries to put up $275 million for the first phase: a hotel here at the Jay Peak ski complex, an indoor water park the size of a football field, an ice hockey arena, condominiums, restaurants and stores.The second and third phases, now under way, require 1,000 additional foreign investors to put up $500 million to overhaul Newport and to develop the nearby Burke Mountain ski area.
Stenger and Quiros are putting up $90 million themselves. But even at $785 million, this is one of the single biggest projects in the country financed under the investor program.
Congress created the visa program in 1990 to help stimulate the economy. Because of a cumbersome process and complaints of fraud and corruption, it was long underused. But a confluence of events in recent years has led to its rather sudden revival: The program was improved; the financial crisis of 2008 made it hard for developers to get loans from commercial banks; and foreign nationals, especially in China, were accumulating vast wealth and were eager for their children to study and live in the US.
In 2006, the government issued just 802 of these EB-5 visas to investors and their families; this year, it granted 7,818.The program is now growing so rapidly that in the next year or two the number issued will probably reach the annual limit of 10,000.
For the first time in the program's history, applicants may be turned away.
Investors must put up $1 million for a visa, but if they invest in a rural area or one with high unemployment, that is reduced to $500,000.
This corner of Vermont, called the Northeast Kingdom, is certainly rural. The construction going on here would make a splash anywhere, but in this stretch of mountains and dairy farms, the scope of Stenger's vision is so vast that many residents say they are still trying to comprehend it.
The 10,000 anticipated jobs are twice the population of Newport; the $500,000 from one investor is equal to the town's annual budget. "It's hard for us to wrap our head around what $200 million is going to mean," said Patricia Sears, executive director of Newport City Renaissance Corp, a nonprofit group that promotes development. "Even $5 million is a lot of millions to us."

Whatever your age, all you have to bring is a sense of curiosity about the world around you as you get ready to experiment, build, observe, and discover. From the challenge of the two-story grapevine climber to the enthralling Water Works, WonderLab has over 50 hands-on science exhibits inside and outside in the garden that will capture your imagination and make learning fun! Exhibits reinforce educational concepts and skills set forth by Indiana Academic Standards and also incorporate principles of universal design. Note that some exhibits featured on the website occasionally are moved to different places in the museum or into temporary storage to make room for new experiences.
Big-Headed Ants!
Reality TV meets science as you view the secret lives of one of the planet's most successful creatures inside their enclosed, clear plexiglass habitat. Magnifying video cameras mounted inside the nesting and foraging chambers will provide close-up views of the colony's social structure and behaviors. Make and record observations just like a scientist on how the ants forage for food, defend the colony, care for baby ants, and more. Other interactive components of the exhibition explore the anatomical features of ants that make them so strong relative to their size, the social structure of the big-headed ant colony versus that of a honeybee hive, and how ants use special chemical signals to lead other ants to food. The exhibition includes a display of large big-headed ant models depicting each of the four castes living in the colony made by Indiana dimensional weaver Martina Celerin.

Data for 6,000 UCSF patients gets exposed online
Patient data exposed on the Internet for months after UCSF gives records to third party for help in targeting potential financial donors, newspaper reports.
Personal data for more than 6,000 UCSF patients was exposed online for more than three months last year, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The news is troubling on multiple levels. First off, it poses the risk that sensitive health information could be used against those patients by employers, health insurers, and others. It also could have allowed fraudsters to use the data to commit medical identity theft and get medical treatment and drugs without paying.
Also, while it's unclear exactly how the data breach happened, it's fairly clear that it arose after the hospital shared the data with a third party, Target America, hired to go through the patient database and find people to solicit donations from.
And finally, it took the hospital nearly six months to notify the 6,313 affected patients about the privacy invasion.
"The breach is a symptom, but the real ethics challenge is the extent to which health care institutions are tracking patients and their families for nonmedical reasons--for fundraising, marketing, advertising," Dr. Arthur Caplan, chairman of the department of medical ethics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, told the newspaper.

"Being Led into Mystery in Life and Death"
My elder son, Steve, tragically died in a river accident on Sunday 21 February 2010. He was 48 years old and, at the time of his death, a professor of theology at the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal. In the weeks and months that followed I sought the words to express my grief, and, at the same time, developed a dogged unwillingness to surrender hope. I knew that the enemy of faith is not doubt, but an unwillingness to acknowledge doubt. I had also learnt over the years that hope is not wishful thinking or optimism, but a question posed by faith in a world that gives so much cause for despair and lament. Writing Led into Mystery was one of the ways I attempted to own my grief, to examine and express my faith and hope. But it was also an experience of being led into this mystery which lies at the heart of all reality, a theological odyssey in which faith not only seeks to understand life and death, but journeys through them in company with others.

"Failing Forward" is a relatively recent entry into our cultural lexicon–at least as far has headlines go anyway–that has utility for students and teachers. Popularized from the book of the same name, the idea behind failing forward is to see failing as a part of success rather than its opposite. Provided we keep moving and pushing and trying and reflecting, failure should, assuming we're thinking clearly, lead to progress, So rather than failing and falling back, we fail forward. Tidy little metaphor. So what might this look like in your classroom?" Via EDTC@UTB |

5 AMAZING!!!Stveie111 | 12/06/2007 | See all Stveie111's reviews (3)I have only had the game for two weeks but it is one of the most addictive games i have ever played on. Despite what my brother and several other people say i thought the graphics were great the sound was great to and the lasting appeal is amazing. Also the face mapping is lots of fun, you take a pic of yourself, put it on the psp and you will be a skater! i recomend this game!!
5 Amazing!jwilson123 | 04/12/2007 | See all jwilson123's reviews (9)this game is truly amazing and addictive!! get it bought!!!
4 Koolcurlycourtz | 08/08/2008 | See all curlycourtz's reviews (4)Completed it in 5 hoursworth buying its really good
4 Brillliant!!!firenze | 01/08/2008 | See all firenze's reviews (20)I had another Tony Hawks game and I wanted one on PSP and I bought this game for about £8 which I thought was a reasonable price. I liked the storyline because it was funny and exciting to play. At times this game can be challenging but after a few attempts the challenge becomes easy. The graphics are quite good considering its a small portable console. The soundtrack has songs you may not of heard of but you'll come to like them. The skating is different as well as you can now get off your board in the middle ofa combo. there are some funny things in the gameplay e.g the star wars kid in Boston. The controls are easy to use.Overall this game is very good and it has a long lating appeal what with Classsic Mode and all the unlockables.Overall 9/10Graphics 8/10Sound 7/10Story 9/10Skating Abilities 8/10

The straight viewing SX-2 Kenai 25-60x80 HD Spotting Scope from Leupold comes with a 25-60x zoom eyepiece, as well as a 30x fixed-power eyepiece that transmits an expansive 72° apparent viewing angle. For this spotting scope series, Leupold outfitted the SX-2 Kenai with High-Definition (HD) lenses, lightweight magnesium alloy chassis, and an oversized focus wheel that can focus the scope as close as 12 ft.
Leupold's HD lenses are made of high-transmission, calcium-fluoride glass elements that produce saturated colors and clarity that is superior to that of standard optical glass. Additionally, HD elements are lead-free, and they weigh less than comparably-sized standard glass elements. The SX-2 Kenai optical path is also enhanced by highly-reflective BAK4 prism glass and index matched lens coatings. Each lens surface is multicoated with an index matched coating that is optimized to suit the refractive index, function and placement of the lens. The resulting images are detail-rich, with luminous and color faithful views.
Complementing its high-definition optical system, the SX-2 Kenai scope is packed with handling features that deliver a user-friendly glassing experience. Knurled ridges on the zoom ring and rubberized ridges on the focusing wheel provide tactile feedback that is especially useful when making field of view adjustments in wet conditions or while wearing gloves. The scope's integrated sun shade also has a raised gripping surface. The scope can easily be connected to a tripod via its 1/4"-20 mounting socket; a rotating collar allows the observer to reorient the eyepiece in a suitable position without dismounting the scope.
In addition to being lightweight and easy to handle, its rubber-armored magnesium alloy body and nitrogen-filled housing make the SX-2 Kenai ready to endure heavy rain and extreme humidity. The included eyepieces both have twist-up rubber eyecups, and they each have a long eye relief (17-18mm for the zoom eyepiece; 18mm for the 30x eyepiece), providing a comfortable viewing distance even for eyeglass wearers. Its combination of functionality, build quality and image quality make the SX-2 Kenai a full-featured spotting scope for almost any intermediate to long-range observation.

14 Warning Signs of Nothing in Particular
In 2003, an article appeared in the Secular Humanist magazine Free Inquiry titled "Fascism Anyone?" (editor's note: this link requires a paid subscription to Free Inquiry, the full text can be found for free here) This article, which has since been attributed to a "Dr. Laurence Britt, political scientist/scholar," detailed the "14 Warning Signs of Fascism" in an attempt to reduce Fascism to a set of commonly shared characteristics by which the determination could be made whether or not a given individual, movement, or government in our modern world was indeed Fascist, or on its way towards Fascism. And this article has proven largely successful, with Dr Laurence Britt being cited repeatedly across the internet in a variety of mediums along with his article in order to reveal the Fascism lurking in the wind, threatening to corrupt our very way of life and lead us all into ruin. But the question is, should this article about the so-called Warning Signs of Fascism really be given so much stock in its validity? This is the question I will be discussing here today, digging into the truth behind the man, the article and the "Warning Signs of Fascism."

Wonderfull match, Thanks to kohli again to take the team to the finisg line. But, there are a few things to learn from this.
1. Bowling was simple very good. Nice Stratergy. Its doing very well.
2. We should test Van Merve instead of Dupreez . He was expensive. VEry expensive in both the matches. Merve on the other hand bowls really good and can bat also. i guess he should be given a chance next match. I''ve also noticed Dupreez not so good in fielding, Merve is reall good at it also.
3. This batting order was perfect. Would love to see White in between Ross and robbie.

I am by no means a real geneologist. This page represents my attempts to put together information on the lineage of myself, Sharlyn Beth Shaw of Georgia and my husband,Charles Hardy Roszel of Michigan. There is no doubt there are many errors in fact, but I've done my best to be accurate and document the information included here. If you are browsing and see errors or have additions/connections please let me know. The more I read and research the more apparent it is that we are all inter-related. The lines merge and seperate repeatedly and more often the further into history they go. I believe it is important to document who we are and where we come from. We document who we are for those who come after us. We look at our forefathers and ancestors to learn from them about who we are and where we have come from. The insights gained by getting a glimpse of our genetic heritage is invaluable. Seeing the patterns of migrations is fascinating. Envisioning the struggles, triumpts and day-to-day lives of our ancesters is interesting. All of this is read taking into account that the histories are written through the perspective of the writers - and therefore are by nature flawed. But even the spin the storytellers of history put on the facts tells us a story. The information included here is drawn from the work others have generously shared, internet resources, data collected from Family Tree Maker data sources, LDS website, and miscellaneous other sources. Of course, family tales and legends are included. Thanks for peeking in :) |

Meet the Next Hadiya Pendleton
First, let's remember the first Hadiya Pendleton (on whom, I confess, I have a little bit of a crush, if a posthumous one)
Can you blame me?
Now, meet her successor, Gakira Barnes:
The gap between Gakirah Barnes's front teeth when she smiled, whether she was celebrating on the basketball court or messing around with friends, made her look even younger than the 17 years she spent in south Chicago before being shot to death last weekend.
"At least I don't have to constantly worry about what's going to happen to her out on the street no more," said her mother, Shontell Brown, who wept as she inspected the cemetery plot where Gakirah will be buried on Monday. Her father, who was gunned down on her first Easter Sunday, lies nearby. Her twin brother, who saw his best friend murdered in 2011, will be at the funeral.
Though mourned as a victim by her family and her girlfriend, Gakirah – one of five Chicagoans killed and 36 wounded over the city's warmest and bloodiest weekend of the year so far – was, according to police and neighbourhood sources, also part of the problem: a hip-hop-fuelled gang war that is raging even as Mayor Rahm Emanuel boasts that crime is at a record low.
Sweet girl that she was, Gakirah was not quite so sweet as my girl, Hadiya:
Nicknamed K I, Gakirah is said to have run with the STL-EBT crew, a young branch of the notorious Gangster Disciples, who have bedevilled the south side since the 1960s. As allies of Lil Jay, a local up-and-coming rapper, they clashed with boys from the nearby Parkway Gardens projects who are loyal to the rival Black Disciples, and to Jay's more established nemesis, Keith "Chief Keef" Cozart, who is signed to Interscope Records, the home of superstars Dr Dre and Eminem.
Oh, okay. That explains everything.
Some at Parkway Gardens, which is nicknamed "O Block" in Perry's memory, blame Gakirah for his death. "That's false information," said her mother. "Rip K I Da Shooter," Lil Jay wrote under a picture of Gakirah pointing her hand like a gun that he posted to Instagram, after she was killed. The battle continued in the comments below. "This summer gone get real," warned one user. As social media buzzed with accusations, Keno Glass, an aspiring rapper and cousin of Coleman, was shot dead in a drive-by at 2:40am on Tuesday. He was just 16.
What would people do to me if they learned I ran around with the Scarlatti gang? Dom probably had his enemies, same as everyone.
One Sonata in G Major and I'd be a dead man.

4 Not quite there yetMofman | 16/07/2010 | See all Mofman's reviews (5)Having read several reviews on the popular Sony model, I decided to go for the Samsung as I have a Samsung HDTV plus I've had Sonys before and they have failed on me.This player is very easy to use, looks good has touch sensitive panal on the front for Play, Pause etc... RC is compatible with my Samsung TV although it should operate other brands it says in the manual.Connected to the internet with no problem (wired connection). Blu-rays are stunningly good and DVDs are upscaled and look good too! In some cases better than on a DVD player.The only downside is the Internet@TV that Samsung have. BBC iPlayer isn't available yet! LoveFilm, Facebook and the TV guide thingy aren't working either. Yes, YouTube is and a few others, but without the BBC iPlayer it's not worth connecting to the Internet for!Yes you also get 6 films free with it. That must be a value of sixty pounds, so in terms of money, grab a bargain while you can!Great for watching Blu-rays and DVDs not so great for the Internet@ TV as of yet.
5 ExcellentPostieDoc | 19/08/2010 | See all PostieDoc's reviews (16)I decided to have a complete overhaul of my home entertainment set-up and bought this at the sametime as a new Samsung TV.I am glad that I did.The load times are very quick and the controls on the actual player are very light to the touch which feels nice.I have also found that its remote is interchangeable with the one I received with my tv which can be handy when fumbling for it in the dark.You get six films with it and they are a nice mixture. Just think what six Blu-rays are worth and then take that off the price of the whole package and you are effectively getting a player for around sixty pounds.Bargain.
1 Dreadul upscaling...Kerome | 26/07/2010 | See all Kerome's reviews (19)Tried one of these in the shops with a 40" Sharp Quattron TV, with a Hero dvd which plays great on my upscaling HD Recorder at home, but on this upscaling was disastrously bad. Blocky, some color bleeding. Would strongly recommend you have a look for yourself before you buy one of these.
5 Excellent value for moneyTimeWarpWebmaster | 04/09/2010 | See all TimeWarpWebmaster's reviews (1)Having had one of the early samsung players, I decided this was a too good an offer to miss to upgrade my deck. The player output looks even better than my original deck plus it is easily changed to multi-region DVD playback (not multi-region Bluray) with a few key presses on the remote which I discovered using a quick google search .The player also runs much cooler than the first generation decks and is half the size and weight.The internet tv and apps held my interest for about ten seconds, I can't see me using them much. The main gripe was when I played a YouTube video I got a blast of advert at double the normal volume. Might just have been that one video, but it's not a feature I bought the deck for.It did take a little setting up to get the sound output into the right format for my AV amp, but so do most decks.For a hundred quid including postage and six bluray titles this is a brilliant offer. As usual Play delivered within a few days. Excellent.

American top General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has expressed Washington's opposition to a unilateral Israeli military action against Iran, saying that it would only delay but not end the Islamic Republic's nuclear program.
General Dempsey, who was in London to attend the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games as head of the U.S. delegation, told reporters that such an attack would "clearly delay but probably not destroy Iran's nuclear program," the Guardian has reproted.
"I don't want to be complicit if they [Israel] choose to do it."
Dempsey said he did not know Iran's nuclear intentions, as intelligence did not reveal intentions. What was clear, he said, was that the "international coalition" applying pressure on Iran "could be undone if [Iran] was attacked prematurely". Sanctions against Iran were having an effect, and they should be given a reasonable opportunity to succeed.
General Martin Dempsey reinforced Washington's opposition to unilateral Israel military action as he made clear that US military chiefs were equally wary of getting ensnared in Syria.
In common with Nato's supreme commander, US admiral James Stavridis, who wrote about Afghanistan for the Guardian on Thursday, Dempsey put a brave face on the situation there.
On the other hand, Israeli's media reflected their anger on this statement. Chemi Shalev in an article in Haaretz described the top U.S. officer statement as an excessively harsh language which is both insulting and counterproductive.

New Study Analyzes Property Fairness Initiative 933
Seattle - Washington Policy Center, the state's premier public policy, independent research organization, released a new study analyzing Initiative 933, which will appear on the ballot this November. The statewide initiative builds on Oregon's Measure 37 passed by voters two years ago. "A Citizens Guide to Initiative 933: Property Fairness Initiative" takes a section-by-section look at the wording of I-933 and examines some of the most common critiques of the initiative.
Initiative 933, the Property Fairness Initiative
Todd Myers, Director, Center for the Environment
, September, 2006A growing trend of "property fairness" initiatives, proposals designed to increase protection for individual landowners from the rise in land-use regulation, has reached Washington state in the form of Initiative 933. The philosophy behind the initiative is similar to the thinking that underlies most environmental regulation.
Legal Gun Ownership Saves Lives
John Barnes, Policy Analyst
, May, 2006It's an age-old story. A criminal shoots someone, and then politicians propose gun-control measures that would have done nothing to prevent the shooting. On March 26, Kyle Huff killed six people at a late-night party in Seattle. Seattle mayor Greg Nickels immediately called for more regulations on guns. None of his proposals would have prevented the tragedy.
Does Oregon's Property Rights Law Measure Up for Washington?
Seattle- Washington Policy Center released a new study today, "Oregon's Measure 37 Property Rights Law, Lessons from the First Eleven Months." Todd Myers, Director of the Center for Environmental Policy for WPC, evaluates the effects of Oregon's Measure 37 and provides a perspective on what Washington citizens might expect if a similar law were to pass in our state. The study is the first comprehensive look at the impact of the Measure in Oregon.
Oregon's Measure 37 Holds Real-World Lessons for Washington
Todd Myers, Director, Center for the Environment
, July, 2005Last November, Oregon voters overwhelmingly passed Measure 37, a law requiring the state and counties either to pay landowners for lost property value when new zoning restrictions are imposed, or allow owners to operate under the rules in place when they bought the property. Supporters and opponents said Measure 37 would radically change the landscape of Oregon. The reality, however, is turning out to be less revolutionary than either side expected.
The Right to Private Property is a Civil Right
William R. Maurer, Adjunct Scholar
, June, 2005Property owners are reeling from recent decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court relegated the right to own property to second-class status. However, the Court's actions are inconsistent with our Constitution and denigrate the role private ownership of property plays in our system of government.
King County's Critical Areas Package: A Heavy-Handed Approach to Growth Management
Russ Brooks & William R. Maurer
, September, 2004In March 2004, King County Executive Ron Sims proposed a series of new ordinances that, if enacted, would become some of the most restrictive regulations on the use of private property in the United States. Loosely referred to as the Critical Areas Package (CAP), these proposals have already received nationwide attention and have become the subject of heated controversy between rural landowners on one hand and county government and environmentalists on the other.
Proposed King County Regulations Compromise Rural Landowners' Rights
A new Policy Note from Washington Policy Center, written by William R. Maurer and Russ Brooks, addresses the negative impact that proposed Growth Management rules would have on rural landowners' property rights in King County.
In March 2004, King County Executive Ron Sims proposed a series of new ordinances that, if enacted, would become some of the most restrictive regulations on the use of private property in the United States.
Property Tax Limitation in Washington State
Paul Guppy, Vice President for Research
, August, 2003In recent years Washington voters have approved three popular measures to ease the growth of the property tax burden government places on citizens. Each measure set progressively more stringent limitations on how much state and local elected officials could increase the basic property tax each year. The relatively easy passage of these measures indicates public support for limiting property taxes increases has remained stable over time.
Smart Growth and Housing Affordability: Evidence from Washington State
Samuel R. Staley, Ph.D & Leonard C. Gilroy, AICP, Reason Public Policy Institute
, April, 2003Growth management has come to the forefront of public-policy debate at the state and local level. Concerned about the effects of both population and economic growth on their environment, citizens and their elected officials are struggling for ways to identify and mitigate the problems associated with new homes and the demand for shopping malls and office development that inevitably follows. New building growth, which usually occurs on the urban periphery, has laid the political foundation for a growing movement to restrict and further control the pace and pattern of land development. Many growth-management advocates argue that state and local land-use planning should actively shape the built environment for local citizens through zoning and various forms of development control.

A critical step during intrathymic T-cell development is the transition of CD4(+) CD8(+) double-positive (DP) cells to the major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I)-restricted CD4(-) CD8(+) and MHC-II-restricted CD4(+) CD8(-) single-positive (SP) cell stage. Here, we identify a novel gene that is essential for this process. Through the T-cell phenotype-based screening of N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU)-induced mutant mice, we established a mouse line in which numbers of CD4 and CD8 SP thymocytes as well as peripheral CD4 and CD8 T cells were dramatically reduced. Using linkage analysis and DNA sequencing, we identified a missense point mutation in a gene, E430004N04Rik (also known as themis), that does not belong to any known gene family. This orphan gene is expressed specifically in DP and SP thymocytes and peripheral T cells, whereas in mutant thymocytes the levels of protein encoded by this gene were drastically reduced. We generated E430004N04Rik-deficient mice, and their phenotype was virtually identical to that of the ENU mutant mice, thereby confirming that this gene is essential for the development of SP thymocytes.

Penelope Cruz is a lovely, talented, and versatile, Oscar-winning actress who can play any role under the sun. As long as the role involves being a feisty, sexy Latina spitfire who's just a little crazy and is destined to lead any man who dare love her to emotional, mental, and perhaps physical ruin.
Oh, I kid the Penelope Cruz. I'm a big fan of the 37-year-old Spanish actress, and yes of course she plays lots of other less "combustible" roles. (She's done fantastic, subtle work in Spain with her longtime collaborator Pedro Almodóvar. And I don't recall her breaking any hearts as a talking guinea pig in G-Force.)
But let's face it, in most of her highest-profile roles "the Spanish Enchantress" often brings the loco, or at least leads a man or two down the path of self destruction. When she passes away—hopefully many, many decades from now—her Oscar tribute reel is gonna consist of a quite a bit of yelling and throwing things.
Take for example A Matador's Mistress, the recently released biopic about the life and death of the famed and beloved Spanish matador Manolete (Adrien Brody). It's a well-made little film, set in beautiful '40s Spain. The single-minded and virginal Manolete fights with a stoic, fearless fatalism in the face of death—that is, until he meets the actress Lupe Sino, a beguiling and passionate temptress. Who, of course, is played by Penelope Cruz. And what happens to Manolete? Well sure, he gets to have a lot of great movie sex with Penelope Cruz. But his love for Lupe causes him to lose his fearlessness in the ring, a bull gores him in the groin area, and he dies.
(Come on, you didn't need a Spoiler Alert for that, did ya? It's like "giving away" that Keats dies of consumption or that Hemingway blew his brains out with a shotgun. Manolete was famous for his death. He was like the Dale Earnhardt of Spain. Okay, well then be warned, some of the descriptions of the films below do contain SPOILERS.)
Let's take a look at a few other examples from Cruz's career:
Open Your Eyes / Vanilla Sky
What is It? A Spanish sci-fi mind-twister about obsession and reality that was remade in the U.S. by Cameron Crowe as Vanilla Sky
Who Does Cruz Play? In both the Spanish and U.S. versions she's Sofia, a beautiful young woman who has an affair with the protagonist.
Who Falls in Love with Her? In Spain it's Eduardo Noriega, also known as "The Spanish Tom Cruise." In the U.S. version it's Tom Cruise, also known as "The American Tom Cruise." (Cruz dated Cruise for a bit during filming, mostly just for the cute couple-name thing.)
What Happens to Him? In both films the protagonist's girlfriend sees him with Sofia and later intentionally crashes their car, killing the girlfriend and facially disfiguring the guy. The recovering man hooks back up with Sofia after the accident, but starts to have nightmarish visions that she's really his dead girlfriend. Which leads him to do, um, hasty things.
All the Pretty Horses
What is It? Billy Bob Thornton's adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's award-winning novel about American cowboys in Mexico during the '40s
Who Does Cruz Play? The beautiful daughter of a rich Mexican ranch owner
Who Falls in Love with Her? Matt Damon as Cole, a young Texan cowboy
What Happens to Him? Dad finds out about their secret affair, is not pleased, and turns Cole over to the Mexican police for a murder he didn't commit. Turns out life in a Mexican prison isn't as fun as they make it out to be in the brochures.
What is It? The true story of how South American cocaine became so popular in the United States in the '70s
Who Does Cruz Play? Mirtha, a sultry drug moll
Who Falls in Love with Her? Johnny Depp, as George Jung, the American who almost singlehandedly popularized cocaine in the U.S.
What Happens to Him? He gets rich, has some very sultry, hot sex with Mirtha (you know it's hot because the lighting goes all red), but then Mirtha throws a birthday party for him, the party is raided by the Feds, and George has to go on the lam and eventually ends up in the hoosegow for a long time.
Vicky Christina Barcelona
What is It? Woody Allen's terrific tale of two young American women (Rebecca Hall and Scarlett Johansson as the title's Vicky and Christina) who get romantically entangled with a couple of artists in Barcelona, Spain (the title's Barcelona)
Who Does Cruz Play? María Elena, a somewhat volatile and mentally unstable sculptress—the role that won Cruz her Best Supporting Actress Oscar
Who Falls in Love with Her? Cruz's eventual real-life husband Javier Bardem as her on-screen ex-husband. And also Christina. Yes, a threesome is implied.
What Happens to Them? Elena does not handle the emotional wax and wane of relationships very well. Luckily for everyone, she does not handle handguns very well either.
What is It? The film adaptation of the Broadway musical version of Fellini's film 8 1/2
Who Does Cruz Play? Carla, a high-spirited Italian mistress who sings and dances in lacy lingerie
Who Falls in Love with Her? Daniel Day Lewis as Guido, a Fellini-esque Italian film director who might have a few too many hot-blooded mistresses on his hands
What Happens to Him? In a fit of melodramatic rejection, Carla tries to overdose on pills. Eventually Guido is stricken with a creative mental block and cannot start his latest film. We assume it's because he can't see Penelope Cruz in lacy lingerie anymore.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
What is It? The fourth in a series of really big, loud movies about pirates. Who hang out in the Caribbean.
Who Does Cruz Play? Angelica, a saucy girl-pirate who may or may not be the daughter of the infamous buccaneer Blackbeard
Who Falls in Love with Her? Why it's our old pal Johnny Depp again—his Capt. Jack Sparrow had a past romantic entanglement with Angelica that didn't end well.
What Happens to Him? Quite a bit, actually, but he lands on his feet in the end, as usual. Turns out not even Penelope Cruz can permanently mess with Jack Sparrow's mojo. On the other hand, she does find a voodoo doll…
