From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A Green Man is a sculpture, drawing, or other representation of a face surrounded by or made from leaves. Branches or vines may sprout from the nose, mouth, nostrils or other parts of the face and these shoots may bear flowers or fruit. Commonly used as a decorative architectural ornament, Green Men are frequently found in carvings on both secular and ecclesiastical buildings. "The Green Man" is also a popular name for English public houses and various interpretations of the name appear on inn signs, which sometimes show a full figure rather than just the head.
The Green Man motif has many variations. Found in many cultures from many ages around the world, the Green Man is often related to natural vegetative deities. It is primarily interpreted as a symbol of rebirth, representing the cycle of growth each spring. Some[1][2] speculate that the mythology of the Green Man developed independently in the traditions of separate ancient cultures and evolved into the wide variety of examples found throughout history.
Lady Raglan coined the term "Green Man" in her 1939 article "The Green Man in Church Architecture" in The Folklore Journal.[3] Some commentators conflate or associate the term with "Jack in the Green".[4]
Usually referred to in works on architecture as foliate heads or foliate masks, carvings of the Green Man may take many forms, naturalistic or decorative. The simplest depict a man's face peering out of dense foliage. Some may have leaves for hair, perhaps with a leafy beard. Often leaves or leafy shoots are shown growing from his open mouth and sometimes even from the nose and eyes as well. In the most abstract examples, the carving at first glance appears to be merely stylised foliage, with the facial element only becoming apparent on closer examination. The face is almost always male; green women are rare. Green cats, lions, and demons are also found. On gravestones and other memorials, human skulls are sometimes shown sprouting grape vines or other vegetation, presumably as a symbol of resurrection (as at Shebbear, Devon, England).[citation needed]
The Green Man appears in many forms, with the three most common types categorized as:
Superficially the Green Man would appear to be pagan, perhaps a fertility figure or a nature spirit, similar to the woodwose (the wild man of the woods), and yet he frequently appears, carved in wood or stone, in churches, chapels, abbeys and cathedrals, where examples can be found dating through to the 20th century. The earliest example of a green man disgorging vegetation from his mouth is from St. Abre, in St. Hilaire-le-grand, c 400 AD.[7]
To the modern observer the earlier (Romanesque and medieval) carvings often have an unnervingly eerie or numinous quality.[according to whom?] This is sometimes said[by whom?] to indicate the vitality of the Green Man, who was able to survive as a symbol of pre-Christian traditions despite, and at the same time complementary to, the influence of Christianity: rather than alienate their new converts, early Christian missionaries would often adopt and adapt local gods, sometimes turning them into saints.[8]
The tradition of the Green Man being carved on to Christian churches exists across Europe, including examples such as the Seven Green Men of Nicosia in Cyprus, a series of seven green men carved in the thirteenth century on to the facade of St Nicholas Church in Nicosia.

From the Renaissance onwards, elaborate variations on the Green Man theme, often with animal heads rather than human faces, appear in many media other than carvings (including manuscripts, metalwork, bookplates, and stained glass). They seem to have been used for purely decorative effect rather than reflecting any deeply held belief. A Swiss engraver, Numa Guyot[9] created a bookplate depicting a Green Man in exquisite detail. It was completed circa 1887.
In Britain, the image of the Green Man enjoyed a revival in the 19th century, becoming popular with architects during the Gothic revival and the Arts and Crafts era, when it appeared as a decorative motif in and on many buildings, both religious and secular. American architects took up the motif around the same time. The Green Man travelled with the Europeans as they colonized the world. Many variations can be found in Neo-gothic Victorian architecture. He was very popular amongst Australian stonemasons and can be found on many secular and sacred buildings.[citation needed]
The Green Man image has made a resurgence in modern times, with artists from around the world interweaving the imagery into various modes of work.[10] Among these are English artist Paul Sivell, who created the Whitefield Green Man, a wood carving in a dead section of a living oak tree; David Eveleigh, an English garden designer who created the Penpont Green Man Millennium Maze, in Powys, Wales (the largest depiction of a Green Man image in the world); Zambian sculptor Toin Adams who created the 12m-tall Green Man in Birmingham, UK (the largest free-standing sculpture of the Green Man in the world); and sculptor M. J. Anderson, who created the marble sculpture titled Green Man as Original Coastal Aboriginal Man of All Time from Whence the Bush and All of Nature Sprouts from his Fingers.
Others include Jane Brideson, Australian artist Marjorie Bussey, American artist Monica Richards, and English fantasy artist Peter Pracownik, whose artwork has appeared in several media, including full-body tattoos.[10]
American artist Rob Juszak has taken the theme of the Green Man as Earth's spiritual protector and turned it into a vision of the Green Man cradling the planet; artist Dorothy Bowen created a kimono silk painting, titled Greenwoman, as an expression of the feminine aspect of the legend.[10]
Green men, and variants on the theme, frequently occur in modern fantasy literature and science fiction. For example, in The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, Someshta is the last of the Nym and is more commonly known in the series as The Green Man. Originally entrusted as the gardeners of the world, the Nym had extensive ability to manipulate the life and growth of plants around them.[11]
The 2012 Disney film The Odd Life of Timothy Green, appears to depict a Green Man figure. Timothy Green is a magical child who appears in the garden of a childless couple one night. He has leaves growing on his legs, takes nourishment from sunlight and returns to the earth in the fall, after fulfilling his purpose.

In Thomas Nashe's masque Summer's Last Will and Testament (1592, printed 1600), the character commenting upon the action remarks, after the exit of "Satyrs and wood-Nymphs", "The rest of the green men have reasonable voices ...".
Parallels have been drawn between the Green Man and various deities such as the British Celtic Lud, also known as Nodens. Many see him as being connected to the Mesopotamian Tammuz who is thought to symbolize the triumph of Life over Winter and Death,[13] Osiris, Odin, and even Jesus, as well as later folkloric and literary characters such as the Holly King.
A character superficially similar to the Green Man, in the form of a partly foliate mask surrounded by Bacchic figures, appears at the center of the 4th century silver salver in the Mildenhall Treasure, found at a Roman villa site in Suffolk, England; the mask is generally agreed to represent Neptune or Oceanus and the foliation is of seaweed.[14]
Figures such as the Jewish prophet (Elijah) and (Khidr), Muslim prophet of eternal life, Cernunnos, Sylvanus, Derg Corra, Green George, Jack in the green, John Barleycorn, Robin Goodfellow, Puck, and the Green Knight all share aspects of the Green Man's nature; it has also been suggested that the story of Robin Hood was born of the same mythology. A more modern embodiment is found in Peter Pan, who enters the civilized world from Neverland, clothed in green leaves. Even Father Christmas, who was often shown wreathed in ivy in early depictions, has been suggested as a similar woodland spirit.[15]
The Green Knight of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight serves as both monster and mentor to Sir Gawain, belonging to a pre-Christian world which seems antagonistic to, but is in the end harmonious with, the Christian one.
In the Germanic nations, such as Germany, Iceland, and England, depictions of the Green Man could have been inspired by deities such as Freyr[16] or Odin, as both have many attributes of the later Green Men from throughout Europe.[17][18][19][20]
Etymological research by the University of Wales into the meaning of the names of Celtic gods and goddesses shows that one Celtic deity, Viridios, has a name meaning "Green Man" in both the Celtic languages and Latin.[citation needed]
In Wicca, the Green Man has often been used as a representation of the Horned God, a syncretic deity that appropriates aspects of, among others, the Celtic Cernunnos and the Greek Pan.
Many forms of Neopaganism consider the green man to represent a common form of personal transformation in meditations or ritual. The icon of the face with leaves sprouting out is a representation of a personal visionary experience of "becoming" a green man or woman.[citation needed]
The Green Man is a recurring theme in literature. Sometimes the figure of Robin Hood is associated with a Green Man, as is that of the Green Knight in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Sir James Frazer mentions the tradition in "The Golden Bough". Kingsley Amis's novel The Green Man (1969) is based a modern incarnation of the ancient pagan monster. Stephen Fry wrote a pastiche of a poem called "The green man" as part of his novel The Hippopotamus. In Charles Olson's book, Archaeologist of Morning, there is a poem entitled "The Green Man". The premise has even made its way into comics, most notably Swamp-Thing.
In his A Little Book of The Green Man, as well as his website, Mike Harding gives examples of similar figures in Borneo, Nepal, and India: the earliest is a foliate head from an 8th-century Jain temple in Rajasthan.[21] He also notes that heads from Lebanon and Iraq can be dated to the 2nd century and that there are early Romanesque foliate heads in 11th century Templar churches in Jerusalem. He tentatively suggests that the symbol may have originated in Asia Minor and been brought to Europe by travelling stonecarvers.
On a similar theme, author on spirituality and architecture William Anderson writes:[22]
There are legends of him (Khidr) in which, like Osiris, he is dismembered and reborn; and prophecies connecting him, like the Green Man, with the end of time. His name means the Green One or Verdant One, he is the voice of inspiration to the aspirant and committed artist. He can come as a white light or the gleam on a blade of grass, but more often as an inner mood. The sign of his presence is the ability to work or experience with tireless enthusiasm beyond one's normal capacities. In this there may be a link across cultures, …one reason for the enthusiasm of the medieval sculptors for the Green Man may be that he was the source of every inspiration.
In one of his roles the ancient Egyptian God Osiris is regarded as a corn-deity and is commonly depicted with a green face representing vegetation, rebirth and resurrection. Containers of soil in the shape of Osiris planted with seed ("Osiris Beds") are found in some New Kingdom tombs. The sprouting corn implied the resurrection of the deceased.[23]
Other gods depicted green are (in Tibet) Amogha-siddhi and (in Mexico) Tlaloc.
In Sanskrit the Green Man is cognate with the gana Kirtimukha or "Face Of Glory" which is related to a lila of Shiva and Rahu. The Face of Glory is often seen in Vajrayana Buddhist Thanka art and iconography where it is often incorporated as a cloudform simulacrum; and depicted crowning the 'Wheel of Becoming' or the Bhavachakra.[24]
In the American TV show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the Green Man, played by Charlie Day, makes several appearances.
Khidr or al-Khidr or Abul Abbas Ahmad al Khidr (Arabic: الخضر al-Khiḍr "the Green One", also transcribed as Khidar, Khizr, Khyzer, Khizar) is a revered figure in Islam, whom the Qur'an describes as a righteous servant of God,[25] who possessed great wisdom or mystic knowledge.[25] He is most often said to be a contemporary of Moses, but in other variations of his story, he lived at the same time as Abraham, the mythological Persian king Afridun and Nashiya bin Amus.[26][27] The 18th sura ("The Cave") presents a narrative where Khidr accompanies Moses and tests him about his oath to not ask any questions. Tom Cheetham, an authority on Islamic mysticism, identifies Khidr of esoteric Sufism with the Green Man. In his book about the work of Henry Corbin and others concerning the 12th-century Muslim saint Ibn Arabi, he develops the idea of the Green Man/Khidr as the principle mediating between the imaginary realm and the physical world.[28]

In keeping with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Veterans Health Administration (VHA) recommendations for seasonal flu vaccination, the Lebanon VA Medical Center has begun vaccinating our Veteran population. This year, the CDC expects a challenging flu season, thus immunizing early provides the greatest coverage
of immunity.
Veterans may receive a flu shot from their primary care provider or in the specialty clinics in Building 17, 3rd floor, as well as the community-based outpatient clinic (CBOC) convenient to them during normal business hours. Additionally, to ease the process, plans are being finalized for vaccine administration in the lobby area of Building 17 beginning next week. Veterans served through the Lebanon VA Medical Center need only to present their ID for vaccination. We encourage all our Veterans to take advantage of the flu shot program to protect themselves as well as their families during the upcoming flu season.
It is important to note that this is seasonal flu vaccine. The H1N1 vaccine has not yet been distributed for general use and is currently in the clinical trial stage. It is not expected prior to the fall of 2009.
Additionally, we encourage all to take the following everyday actions to stay healthy:

Why not help reverse the tide of global warming and protect your investments at the same time? That's the question posed by progressive think tank, the Australia Institute, in a new report that calls for a re-think on future returns.
The report, which was prepared in partnership with 350.org and Market Forces, argues that now is the time to start ridding your investment portfolio of fossil fuel assets. Why? Because the carbon-emitting companies and their financial backers are bound to see their share prices drop when they're forced to comply with tougher emissions standards and leave the fuel where they found it. Plus, an ethical investing strategy is better for the planet.
The phenomenon has come to be known as "stranded assets" or "unburnable carbon". The institute argues that regardless of where you stand on the global warming debate, divesting from carbon producers and their backers won't significantly impact your return on investment in the longer term.
The trap waiting to spring shut on everyday investors is that the corporations haven't factored climate change into their balance sheets. So fossil fuels that are still in the ground are counted as assets, even though the corporations may not be able to mine all of them. The institute's report says that when the expected mandatory climate change mitigation rules come into play over the coming years and those assets aren't realised, shares related to fossil fuels will take a big drop and investment portfolios will take a big hit.
Even without a personal investment account, many – if not most – Australians would still be vulnerable because of fossil fuel-related assets in their superannuation accounts.
The report cites a London-based think tank, Carbon Tracker, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. They claim that most of the world's coal, oil and gas reserves will remain untapped if polluters are obliged to stick to a "carbon budget" aimed at limiting global warming to a maximum of 2°C. According to the institute, "fossil fuel companies have committed to extract over three times this budget".
Screening out fossil fuel producers and related companies doesn't mean you'll have to accept lower returns on your investments, according to the Australia Institute's calculations. It compared a portfolio of a specially selected group of ASX 200 companies whose business model doesn't depend on fossil fuel with the full ASX 200 list over a projected 10-year period. The findings? Getting rid of fossil fuel-related investments had "no significant impact" on returns.
Read on for a breakdown of which companies are most exposed to fossil fuels.

One of the biggest problems that software companies face in competing in this market is their lack of visibility on current customers. A customer may come on board with a high monthly pricing structure, but end up costing your company thousands of dollars in marketing, implementation and account management if they fall off the platform after their first few months. The problem is that it's incredibly difficult to determine which customers are going to fall off and when they are going to do so.

Was the fix in? Top Ficano appointee wrote essay for Mullin days before she was asked to
A top appointee to Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano wrote an essay for Turka Mullin that helped her land a job as Detroit Metro Airport's next CEO, 7 Action News has learned.
Mullin asked a high-level Ficano communications appointee, to write an essay stressing why she would be the perfect candidate for Metro Airport's next CEO. Days later, she relied heavily on the appointee's words when she was asked to write what was supposed to be an impromptu "blue book" essay, similar to those written in college courses.
The essay was intended to be a surprise to each candidate, sources confirm, asking applicants to "describe in writing what (Detroit Metro) and (Willow Run Airport) would look like, and how they would operate, after five years under your leadership as CEO of the Wayne County Airport Authority."
See Mullin's complete essay below.
Each candidate had only thirty minutes to write his or her answer. Board members said Mullin's was superb, styled as a press release from the future in 2016. In it, Mullin wrote that the airport was just named tops in the world. Survey takers praised its "welcoming environment and user friendliness," she wrote.
"Airport executives and personnel were particularly impressed with the airport's recent domination of the Asian and South American markets," Mullin wrote.
And airport Authority board members loved her essay.
"She did an excellent job in the essay in her interview, so I was encouraged that she was the right person for that job," said WCAA member Bernard Parker.
The essay runs 3 pages and about 450 words. And 7 Action News has learned she didn't write it—at least not the original version.
No, it was written by Lynn Ingram, a high-level Ficano communications appointee in the days leading up to Mullin's interview. He wrote it, we've learned, when Mullin asked him for help in preparing for her upcoming interview, when candidates weren't supposed to know there would be an essay question .
A source who saw what Mullin wrote describes her essay as strikingly similar to the version written by the Ficano appointee. That an essay was written in advance for Mullin is evidence of either an incredible coincidence, say airport authority board members, or that Mullin got tipped off about the question in advance.
Today's revelation adds to the speculation by many, like union activist Robert Davis, that Mullin's hiring at Detroit Metro Airport was orchestrated from the beginning. Davis has argued that her hiring was illegal.
"I hope that is not the case, but if it is it really taints the whole process of her being appointee," said Parker.
"I would not have voted for her if I had known this in advance."
Parker and others say it's either an incredible coincidence, or Mullin got tipped off about the question in advance. After all, he says, the essay was supposed to be a surprise.
"I think that anyone who went for an interview, it's very difficult to know what someone's going to ask," said Parker.
In October, the FBI subpoenaed the airport authority for all records related to Mullin's hiring.
Ingram declined to be interviewed for this report, but released a statement saying Mullin relied on him because of his experience as a journalist.
"She asked if I'd help her put her thoughts into words. She provided the ideas and concepts, and I helped her convey them," Ingram said.
Ingram left the county on Friday voluntarily.
Sam Nouhan, an authority board member and one of Mullin's biggest defenders before her firing last October, wrote the question that was given to candidates. We found him standing outside of county headquarters this afternoon.
"Did you give Ms. Mullin any heads up about that question," asked 7 Action News Investigator Ross Jones.
"I know you're interested in all of these issues, but I'm really not at liberty to make any comments due to pending litigation and other legal matters," Nouhan said.
Nouhan's name emerged in an FBI subpoena back in February demanding all records related to any work he's performed with Wayne County. Last month, we asked County Executive Robert Ficano about whether Mullin received any advanced notice about the question. They didn't answer our specific questions, but released another statement today saying the County Executive doesn't stand in the way of anyone pursuing an opportunity outside of the county.
We reached out to Mullin's attorney for comment today, but he declined to say anything.

The McLaren driver, who finished second here last year, guides you on a flying lap of the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
For a map of the circuit layout, please click here.
Powering up to some 209mph / 335km/h in seventh gear as you cross the famous yard of bricks, you then brake hard for the tight right hander that takes you onto the twisty infield section of the track. The 90-degree turn is taken at 56mph / 90km/h in second gear and flows into an equally tight left-hander, which is taken at of 71mph / 115km/h, still in second.
The circuit then gently bends to the right as you accelerate to turn four. You brake from speeds of around 140mph / 225km/h in fifth to 80mph / 128km/h for the right hander. A short burst of power takes you to turn five, a 45-degree right hander, which is taken at 71mph / 115km/h in second gear.
Another quick spurt on the throttle leads to the long 180-degree left hander of turn six. This swings you into turn seven, a right-hander that is negotiated at similar speeds and leads onto the back straight.
Accelerating towards the 90-degree turn eight, you reach 181mph / 290km/h in seventh gear before dropping to 75mph / 120km/h in third for the left hander. The s bends of turns nine and ten follow immediately. The tight right-hander of nine is taken at 46mph / 75km/h in first gear, with your speed increasing ever so slightly to 56mph / 90km/h in second for the left hander of ten. On the exit its quick on the power along the short straight that leads to the final corner of the infield section, reaching some 126mph / 200km/h, before braking to 81mph / 130km/h to negotiate the right hander.
Accelerating out, the circuit begins to curve to the right as you rejoin the oval. Flicking up through the gears, you keep hard on the throttle through the rights of turns twelve and thirteen, which leads you back onto the pit straight. Turn twelve is taken at 156mph / 250km/h and by the time you reach the long, sweeping banking of turn 13, you are travelling at some 190mph / 305km/h in top gear as you begin another lap.

Delhi Earthquake Drill |
Friday, 09 March 2012 00:00 |
GNDR members observe earthquake drill in Delhi. Just days before this week's earthquake in Delhi - reported by India's earthquake centre to measure a magnitude 4.9 - emergency services had been practicing a post-earthquake immediate response scenario. GNDR members welcomed the initiative – the first of its kind in Delhi – and highlighted areas for improvement: Manu Gupta, GNDR Steering Group member and Director of SEEDS reports from Delhi: "This was indeed a welcome move by the Government of Delhi to be initiating such an exercise
There were problems encountered in coordination but this is to be expected since this is the first exercise of its kind in the city. However, there was a disturbing lack of participation sought from communities. Local community based organisations, NGOs, neighbourhood associations and local youth volunteers can play a critical role in emergencies where city level emergency services get easily overwhelmed. However, very little was done to mobilise them. Barring a few advertisements in the media which merely "informed" citizens of the drill instead of telling them "how to" participate, there was no other effort on taking them on board. Being ringside 'mute' spectators, the civil society felt a lot more could have been achieved and demonstrated if partnerships could be forged before the actual drill. We were in a management committee meeting, when the earthquake shook us this morning. Our own preparedness got tested! The earthquake emphasizes how important it is to do all we can to prepare for future problems, and it is vital that civil society play an important role in working with communities to maximize their preparedness."

quote:Johnson really looks the part of an NFL 4-3 defensive end. Along with plus size, length and muscle definition throughout, Johnson also sports a quick first step, constant motor, and ideal closing speed to finish plays in the backfield. He still appears to have room to pack on additional weight. Johnson's measurables were impressive, as was to be expected. During the Texas versus the Nation All-Star event, he showcased violent hands and tremendous power in converting speed-to-power on outside-in rush moves. While his leg drive and balance serve well for a power-speed combination at the Division II level, Johnson remains raw from a technique standpoint and will need to develop an inside-out, speed rush move to keep opposing tackles from anchoring down on the inside. Despite having very few moves in his repertoire, Johnson's overall explosiveness and motor force the offense to account for him, as he simply bulls his way into the backfield with reckless abandonment. When collapsing down from the backside of zone runs, Johnson does tend to turn his shoulders to the football, instead of keeping them squared to the line of scrimmage, resulting in missed tackle for loss opportunities. Still, what continually stood out in practices was Johnson's competitiveness. Playing with plus effort and fighting through the whistle each snap, Johnson showed the demeanor teams desire in aggressive, pass rushing prospects. A size-speed prospect with plus physical tools to develop, Johnson should hear his name in the 6th round range, where he'll have an opportunity to make an active roster. Teams must find out why Johnson spent all four years of college outside the Division I level, as he played two years at Kilgore JC and two years at Tarleton State.

Last Friday, July 12 the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) said it wants more solar—a lot more solar for the small island. The island's electric utility announced its CLEAN Solar Initiative-II (CSI-11), a program that will provide a feed-in tariff for 100 megawatts of solar projects between 100 kilowatts and 2 megawatts. And that's just for now. The utility also is planning to issue requests for proposal for another 300 megawatts of renewable energy.

SEIA is the solar energy industry's go-to source for the latest coverage on solar power, including U.S. and international policy, research and polls, business and financing trends, and more. Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.

Pro Tip: Use the #Solar Hashtag on Facebook
Many of you already use the #solar hashtag on Twitter, enabling us to see your posts and share your stories. Now, you can do the same on Facebook.
Basically, using a hashtag turns the word into a clickable link in your post, which helps other people find your post even if they don't follow you. To make a hashtag, write # (the number sign) along with the word "solar" and add it to your post. For example:
SEIA Applauds Confirmation of New EPA Administrator
Washington, DC – Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), released the following statement after Gina McCarthy was confirmed today by the Senate as the new administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):
SEIA Urges Action on Energy Efficiency Legislation
Washington, D.C. – With momentum now building in the Senate, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) says it's time to finally pass energy efficiency legislation in Congress. Today, SEIA President and CEO Rhone Resch released the following statement:
"Improved energy efficiency should be a national priority. Today, there's a never-ending list of low-cost, off-the-shelf technologies which can improve energy efficiency and pay for themselves over a short period time.
Don't dim bright solar future
The advance of solar power as an economically viable source of energy is a global issue.
But if there is a ground zero for solar's evolution toward becoming a real alternative to carbon-based energy sources, it is Arizona. This state, by definition, should lead the way.
Solar Energy Powers the Military and Veterans
Just because Veteran's Day has already passed does not mean it's time to forget the work of current and former military personnel. In fact, the solar energy industry has been instrumental in powering operations for all branches of the military and in providing reliable and cost-effective electricity for when veterans return home from deployment.

The St. Thomas Housing Project had been a somewhat rundown low-income housing project before Hurricane Katrina hit, known primarily for its high crime rate. But now, the area has become the focus of several government agencies working to revitalize it through sustainable and renewable technologies.
Renewable energy leaders respond to election results
Several renewable energy leaders have voiced their approval over the re-election of President Barack Obama and renewable energy advocates who won races in the House.
The Next Four Years: Voters Re-Elect An 'Important Ally' For Solar
With President Barack Obama now elected to a second term, will the U.S. solar market continue its pace of expansion? Although the solar sector's membership comprises voters with diverse political views, most industry leaders characterize the Obama win as a positive for the continued development of solar projects large and small.

DeSerres got the start for Seattle, who apparently signed Seahawks kicker Josh Brown and got 3 field goals for the win. If this was the case, though, a football team named the Chiefs would be capable of scoring a touchdown, so this obviously is fictional.

WHL Spokane Chiefs 0 @ Seattle Thunderbirds 2 G Riku Helenius, SEA: Win, shutout, stopped 25 of 25 shots, *First Star*
Seattle clinched a playoff spot with the win. Helenius has won 7 straight starts and has shutouts in 2 of his last 3. He has 3 shutouts on the year. Helenius and his backup, Jacob DeSerres, have combined for 3 shutouts in the T-Birds' last 4 games and 2 in a row. This is the first time in 7 games Seattle has beaten Spokane.

President Barack Obama's Inaugural Luncheon
After President Barack Obama was sworn-in, it was time for the new chief to eat! Here's how you can recreate the "first feast" at home.

On Tuesday, January 20, 2009, after President Barack Obama was sworn-in he joined 200 of Washington's elite for a special inaugural luncheon. The veritable "Who's Who" of Capitol Hill included Supreme Court judges, Cabinet members, and, of course, the newly minted first family and Vice President Biden's family.
As this year marks the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth, the menu for this luncheon, entitled "A New Birth of Freedom," draws on culinary traditions from the Lincoln era. What exactly does that mean, though? Honest Abe had simple tastes: Think frontier food. After all, he did grow up in a log cabin.
Seafood stew, the starter, was selected not only for its historic roots, but also for practical reasons. Kathy Valentine, CEO of Design Cuisine, a D.C. catering company that planned the lunch menu, explains, "We wanted to start off with something warm, especially after everyone had been standing outside for a number of hours." Good call, since back in 1841, President William Henry Harrison caught a cold after his frigid inauguration day from which he never recovered!
The main course, "Brace of American Birds," features Duck Breast with Cherry Chutney, Herb-Roasted Pheasant with Wild Rice Stuffing, and Molasses-Whipped Sweet Potatoes. The birds hail from a small farm in Indiana, a nod to the Land of Lincoln. Dessert is Apple Cinnamon Sponge Cake, which takes inspiration from Lincoln's love of apples, said to be a favorite snack.
Despite all of the media comparisons between Lincoln and Obama, the meal was actually settled on before the results of the November 4th election. Throughout the summer and fall, several menus were developed, and tastings were held. Of course, after the election, the recipes were double-checked for food allergies.
Didn't get your invite? No problem! You can still whip up this fabulous feast at home:
Seafood Stew
Duck Breast with Cherry Chutney
Herb Roasted Pheasant with Wild Rice Stuffing
Molasses Whipped Sweet Potatoes
Winter Vegetables
To learn more about this historic meal, visit the site of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies. There are details on the floral arrangements, music, and images of Mary Todd Lincoln's White House china, upon which you guessed it the meal was served.

Will This Upgrade Help Plug Power (PLUG) Stock Today?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Plug Power
(PLUG - Get Report) shares are climbing, up 6.5% to $4.07, after being upgraded to "outperform" from "market perform" by analysts at Cowen
(COWN - Get Report).
The upgrade comes after the firm took a tour of Plug's factory, citing strong bookings as a reason the believe the company will have a profitable fourth quarter.
Despite the upgrade, the firm lowered its target price on the company's shares to $6 from $7.50 citing increased expenses.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks
STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
TheStreet Ratings team rates PLUG POWER INC as a Sell with a ratings score of D-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate PLUG POWER INC (PLUG) a SELL. This is driven by a few notable weaknesses, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its deteriorating net income and weak operating cash flow."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Electrical Equipment industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 240.8% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from -$8.47 million to -$28.88 million.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$8.94 million or 93.52% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
- PLUG POWER INC's earnings per share declined by 27.3% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, PLUG POWER INC continued to lose money by earning -$0.79 versus -$0.94 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings (-$0.09 versus -$0.79).
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, PLUG's share price has jumped by 1416.66%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Regarding the future course of this stock, we feel that the risks involved in investing in PLUG do not compensate for any future upside potential, despite the fact that it has seen nice gains over the past 12 months.
- The revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 3.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 35.6%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.

Regarding GT I was referring to the drawing of everyone in the future. I was trying to say that in that drawing Dexter looked like a superhero. I realize that they are different universes, but that doesn't mean the future Dexter cannot look like that. It's the same character by the same artist.
I find that I am constantly having to clarify myself. What does that say about me?

@SauteePan - I agree with you. These doctors have to be extra special because they have to deal with very sick people who are really scared. They also have to prescribe treatment like radiation and chemotherapy that might even cause a secondary cancer to develop.
I take my hat off to these doctors and nurses. I don't think that I could work in this field. It would be too emotionally trying for me.
