ClearEdge scores $40 million in Korea - next stop Oregon?
|| Print |
|The Latest
|Wednesday, June 16, 2010
ClearEdge, the fuel cell company headquartered in Hillsboro, made big headlines last week after announcing a $40 million deal with Korea's LS Industrial Systems to distribute 800 of its fuel cells over the next three years to commercial businesses. The deal marks the company's first major expansion out of its target market of California and its first foray overseas.
Despite being an Oregon company, ClearEdge has yet to target business in the state. All but one of the fuel cells the company has installed are in California, where energy rates are higher and the tax incentives are greater. But if millions can be spent in California and Korea will Oregon be next?
ClearEdge hopes so. Mike Upp, ClearEdge's vice president of marketing, said the company has found renewed interest in the Oregon market in the last two months and is making strides to secure business. Upp said he has a meeting scheduled with the Oregon Department of Energy this week.
"The biggest stumbling block for Oregon is that energy rates are so low, but we are redefining our Oregon strategy and we are certainly starting to get noticed," said Upp.
ClearEdge's product, which is about the size of a refrigerator, takes hydrogen from gas and turns it into electricity. The gas can come from a number of places as either natural gas, gas from decomposing garbage dumps or biomass. It can generate 5 kW of power an hour, enough to power a small business or a large residence of more than 4,000 sqare feet. In order to make the financial model work the cell needs to also be used to capitalize on its important byproduct: heat. The cell generates enough heat to cover both space and water heating along with its energy output.
So why hasn't this innovative energy technology based out of Oregon caught on here? The company started in 2003 in Hillsboro, but to date only has one cell installed at a fire station in Oregon. Rick Wallace is the Biofuels Program Coordinator at the Oregon Department of Energy and he said that despite tax credits he hasn't seen much interest from anyone in the state for either residential or commercial use.
"We keep waiting to see what will happen, but there just isn't any interest in Oregon and the technology isn't developed enough to gain any," said Wallace.
Wallace said the technology is still too experimental and that few of the devices actually work.
But ClearEdge has plenty of paying customers to dispute that, with 25 units installed and 300 on order, plus the additional 800 units for the Korean company. With a $56,000 price tag each that equals plenty of green for the company, which expects to hire an additional 150 employees by the end of the year.
Congressman David Wu is a fan. He recently toured the ClearEdge facility and has introduced a bill in Congress that would increase tax breaks for people who use fuel cells in their homes. As with solar and wind power, incentives are crucial for this developing renewable energy technology. Tax breaks have been a key factor in CleanEdge's success in California, and the Korean deal resulted from a government mandate that 10 percent of the energy needs for new buildings must come from renewable sources.
Upp believes the company is ready to expand its focus outside of California now that they have had more experience. The high energy costs and tax breaks made California an ideal first market, but other states including Oregon are beginning to follow in terms of creating incentives for renewable energy investments.
"We focused on one area and limited the geography in the beginning to get the bugs out and cleanly and clearly document our services," said Upp, "but we are here in Oregon to stay."
ClearEdge employs 150 people in Oregon and hopes to double its head count to 300 by the end of the year.

Comments (0)
from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,
Now that the Bruins have acquired G Manny Fernandez from the Wild, it's doubtful Emery will get a Group II offer sheet. However, Emery's agent, J.P. Barry, said yesterday he will file for arbitration by the July 5 deadline. "I know that (Murray) wanted to get through free agency and then he said we'd sit down to discuss a new deal. I look forward to having those discussions," said Barry.

Nice. I like the look of those. We are planning on getting a couple of the high pressure inflatable kayaks. I like the idea of being able to potter up the odd creek or river that a keeler can't get into and maybe do a bit of camping at the same time. Given that inflatable dinghys are a pain to row the kayaks will also make for a bit of exercise. While I'd prefer a hard kayak storage space makes inflatable necessary.

Like many others have said, Mario is awesome. My wife and I went on a Night Tour with Mario and had a fantastic experience. Aside from seeing spiders, frogs, snakes, and other creatures, Mario shared so much of his knowledge about everything that we encountered that we were truly able to appreciate our experience. His personality, as well as his passion and enthusiasm made this an unforgettable adventure. I would highly recommend this tour for young and old alike.

Early on Tuesday 10th February, Ed Davey, Liberal Democrat Councillors and supporters of his rezoning campaign were outside Surbiton and Kingston Station's to explain to commuters why he has been campaigning so hard to get the station rezoned.

Edward Davey talks tactics with campaigners at the Liberal Democrat Party conference as he pledges to tackle prostate cancer inequalities
Edward Davey, MP for Kingston & Surbiton, has pledged his support to help eradicate the inequalities men with prostate cancer face after speaking with campaigners at the Liberal Democrat Party conference in Glasgow last week.
Despite being the most common cancer in men, those affected by or at risk of prostate cancer continue to face a number of injustices, particularly when it comes to access to the best treatments and aftercare support for their condition.
In the last year, I have been making real progress in my long-running campaign to rezone Kingston and Surbiton railway stations to zone 5.
Chessington MP Edward Davey has declared his support for the campaign, launched today by Chessington's Liberal Democrat Councillors, against plans to build up to 70,000 new homes on the green belt in Chessington.
Tesco has announced that it no longer wishes to build a supermarket on the large site at Tolworth. Instead it will submit plans for housing for the whole site.
Ed Davey MP, for Kingston and Surbiton, and Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change has pledged his support for 'Mind the Gap', a campaign aiming to raise awareness of the help available for people affected by fuel poverty.
The campaign, run by the national charity Turn2us, is focusing on the growing gap between household incomes and the cost of energy bills, and is highlighting the support available to those who are struggling to pay their energy costs.
From April, the Lib Dems will have cut many peoples Income Tax bills by £600-a-year.
We want this to become £700-a-year in this March's Budget.
Edward Davey MP has added his support to Anti-Bullying Week, which is taking place from 19-23 November 2012.
Commenting, Local Lib Dem MP Edward said:
"People come across bullying at work, school and even at home. It often begins in schools and can do long-lasting damage to children's self-esteem.
"People come across bullying at work, school and even at home. It often begins in schools and can do long-lasting damage to children's self-esteem.
On Thursday 8 November Kingston and Surbiton MP Edward Davey addressed a packed public meeting, organised by the Friends of Seething Wells about why he believes that the planning application to develop the Filter Beds site in Surbiton should be refused.
Edward Davey spoke about the importance of the heritage of the site and thanked the community for the ongoing support which they have been giving to the Friends of Seething Wells.
There will be a public meeting about the Filter Beds planning application on Thursday 8th November 2012 at 8pm (refreshments from 7.30pm) at St Andrew's and St Mark's Junior School on Maple Road.
Surbiton's MP, Edward Davey, has this week confirmed he will be opposing the proposed development of the filter beds site by the Portsmouth Road in Surbiton. He has urged local people to back the campaign being organised by the Friends of Seething Wells, a community group with alternative ideas of how this enviromentally and historically special site can be conserved.
The campaign to stop the threatened closure of Kingston Hospital's Accident and Emergency Unit and Maternity was without doubt the biggest local campaign I have ever run.
The response from local people was fabulous, and after we stimulated visits to the Hospital during the 2010 General Election from both Nick Clegg and David Cameron, I felt the political pendulum swing to our cause.

A summary from YodasEvilTwin on Slashdot:
"The internet is dominated by sexist men, which discourages women from getting involved in related fields."
I add a bunch more caveats, references and empirical data, but that is a good summary of how I interpret the evidence.
There is currently a responsibility-dodging contest between industry and academia over who is to blame for the declining enrollment of women in Computer Science and declining employment of women in software development. I hear people in industry bemoan the "empty pipeline", while academics maintain that women aren't entering their programs because of perceptions of the industry. I have compiled some data that may help resolve the question by highlighting a third factor common to both: access to an Internet-based culture of computing.
Two recent South American studies found that students who had not had Internet access were more likely to major in Computer Science than those with previous experience [1][2] They also found that the effect was more pronounced among young women than young men.
I put forward a related inflection point in the classic graph of CS enrollment in the US over time [3]:
Access to personal computers increased both men and women's enrollment proportionally, whereas rising access to the Internet raised men's enrollment significantly more than women's enrollment and women's enrollment began to decline before men's peaked. Access to non-social technology led to equal rises in men and women enrollment, whereas access to the Internet increased the gap in enrollment. It becomes even more apparent if we consider that at the same time women's enrollment was rising, so the percentage of all degrees awarded to women awarded in computer science rose less and fell further than the total number of women studying computer science:
It appears to me that the introduction of the Internet compounded the pre-existing gap in American enrollment.
While often the gender problem in Computer Science is lumped together with the gender problem in Engineering, the enrollment pattern for Engineering in the United States looks very different. Thus I am highly sceptical of research that conflates the two fields, and I will be focusing exclusively on Computer Science.
(Note: though this chart begins at 1970, explicit discrimination was not outlawed until 1972 and almost certainly contributed to very low initial percentages.)
New Work
Here I examine the predictive power of Internet access to explain international variations in women's enrollment in computer science.
For these I will compare women's representation in Computer Science to women's representation among general college enrollment, in order to capture how women's enrollment in Computer Science differs from other fields. This avoids confounding factors that may be shared by all college-educated professions such as family responsibilities or sexual harassment in order to focus on those contributing to the specific declines in CS.
Thanks to some data from Eurostat [4], I was able to produce cross-national comparisons between 30 nations. I use a normalized number: the percentage of all college graduates who are women minus the percentage of CS graduates who are women, divided by the percentage of all college graduates who are women. Thus, 0 is perfect equality and 1 is perfect inequality. Here is the data for the 30 countries available:
The data most widely and relevantly available regarding Internet use was the percentage of the population who had never accessed the Internet in 2006. This is the time frame where the women above would have been choosing their field. Again, the data for those 30 countries:
I then graphed access to the Internet versus the variation from expected participation. I found a statistically-significant negative correlation:
Among these nations there are five Scandinavian countries that have had 100% internet access among young people for over a decade and very high internet access among the general population since 2004. This is fundamentally different than the conditions in all other nations, where near-universal internet access, if it has been achieved at all, occurred less than a year before these data points.
If we exclude those nations that have hit that ceiling, we get an extremely statistically significant correlation:
Among the non-Scandinavian group, 39% of the total variation goes away if we control for Internet access. We would expect the primary difference of women's enrollment in the field to be national culturally-specific characteristics [5]; that there is a significant shared mediating factor is notable.
In addition, 23 countries had sufficient longitudinal data to do a temporal analysis. Of those 23 countries, 5 had a positive correlation between rising Internet access and the parity of women's enrollment in CS relative to other fields, all around the Mediterranean. 3 nations had no significant correlation. 1 had a weak negative correlation and 14, or 61%, had a strong negative correlation:
I conclude that in the last 10 years among many Northern European nations, rising Internet access is correlated with falling interest in computer science relative to other professions among women. The group of Mediterranean nations that show a positive correlation should be a fruitful area for future research, but seem outliers from the Northern cohort.
Given that the same dynamic has be observed at an individual level, changes in enrollment over time at a national level and in cross-national analysis, a causal relationship is plausible, though not proven. Notably, I do not have any longitudinal data prior to the introduction of the Internet for these countries to compare the post-Internet trends to and I have found no studies from other nations comparing individual-level Internet use with interest in Computer Science.
However I will propose two possible causal mechanisms that are supported by current evidence and I believe warrant further research.
I would caution against considering this support for any hypothesis relying on generalizations about the characteristics of women as a group, as the literature does not support gender as a distinguishing factor in career interest, skill or motivation [8]. Instead, the evidence suggests we should be looking to cultural factors amplified by the Internet that affect those identified by others as women, since the one thing women have in common is being perceived as female by members of the community.
A global technical culture was noted by scholars as early as 1988 [6] and has since migrated online [7]. In many ways it has been one of the strengths of the field, but it may also be amplifying and spreading the alienating and exclusionary aspects of the current occupational culture.
The first hypothesis I propose is that Internet culture supports a belief in a meritocratic environment [9], which has been linked, ironically, to an increase in biased behavior [10] as it provides moral cover for prejudiced beliefs. Encountering overt, covert or benevolent sexism undermines both women's performance and interest [11]. Even if such beliefs were prevalent in professional spaces before the Internet, as masculine gender performance is common, aggressive and publicly visible in online forums [12] women no longer have to be the target of such behavior themselves before college in order to associate it with the industry and choose an alternative career.
The second hypothesis is that the Internet encourages a sense of belonging [13] to the masculinized culture of software development [14], which alienates many women [15] by causing them to feel excluded from a camaraderie-focused profession [16]. Again, while this culture may have existed before the Internet, women with Internet access are likely to encounter such attitudes earlier and more frequently. To the best of my knowledge, whether the Internet has changed the culture of computing itself, either in America or internationally, is an outstanding question.
The one thing this correlation does imply is that programs to expose girls and young women to technology wouldn't be effective atboost the number of women entering software development. In fact, they might be counterproductive if they lead to earlier encounters with the existing occupational culture. Basically, free samples only boost sales of products people find enjoyable and we are therefore unlikely to solve these problems by writing off the experiences of the current generation and placing all our chips on the next.
It is much more controversial to say "we must change our culture" than "little girls should get to play with robots", especially since many current programmers identify with that culture strongly [17]. Yet, if women aren't becoming programmers because the occupational culture is unappealing, cultural change is the only solution that would lead to integration. The fears among those of us who do identify with the culture may also be unfounded: the aspects that are alienating are not necessarily central to the culture as a whole.
There is a second option: those programmers who do not wish to participate in the current exclusionary culture may spin off and create their own spaces with which the alienating members of the prior culture no longer identify. Unfortunately, the recent push I have seen towards such an alternative culture is even more sexist than what came before [18]. On the other hand, new fields such as Biological Computation, Analytical Mathematics and Library and Information Sciences involve software development in different cultural contexts, producing vastly different gender balances [19]. By respecting, celebrating and promoting such fields we may be able to create a more inclusive discipline without significantly altering current norms of Internet behavior.
Of course, such respect for other fields would, itself, be a significant cultural change [20].

Side note: it is interesting how much more diverse actual science fiction & fantasy (48% WorldCon attendence), World of Warcraft subscriptions (40%), video games (33%) and Star Trek fan sites (34-48%) are than computer science itself.

The Back-Story To The Internet "Human Teeth Shark"
We have all the seen the "human teeth shark" online or sent to us via some social media outlook. But find out more about the back-story of this internet picture
The modified picture floating around on the internet for years.
Photographer Mike Parry was standing just a few feet away from the powerful predator when it broke through the water next to his small fishing boat near Dyer Island, Cape Province, South Africa.
'No one on the boat could believe that I was lucky enough to catch the exact moment. It takes a lot of waiting and patience for that one lucky shot.'
Hollywood blockbuster Jaws, portrayed the species as a 'ferocious man eater'.
It's believed that the great white finds most humans too bony for their liking, some have stated sharks biting on warm blooded humans is similar to humans chewing on a mouthful of aluminum foil.
And finally sharks seem to love AC/DC, their sensitive hearing is compatible with the band's low frequency music and they are particularly keen on Shook Me All Night Long from trial and error research.

Chapter 2 Analyzing and Recording Transactions QUESTIONS 1. a. Common asset accounts: Cash, Accounts Receivable, Notes Receivable, Prepaid Expenses (Rent, Insurance, etc.), Office Supplies, Store Supplies, Equipment, Building, and Land. b. Common liability accounts: Accounts Payable, Notes Payable, Unearned Revenue, Wages Payable, and Taxes Payable. c. Common equity accounts: Owner, Capital; and Owner, Withdrawals. 2. A note payable is formal promise, usually denoted by signing a promissory note to pay a future amount. A note payable can be short-term or long-term, depending on when it is due. An account payable also references an amount owed to an entity. An account payable can be oral or implied, and often arises from the purchase of inventory, supplies, or services. An account payable is usually short-term. 3. There are several steps in processing transactions: (1) Identify and analyze the transaction or event, including the source document(s), (2) apply double-entry accounting, (3) record the transaction or event in a journal, and (4) post the journal entry to the ledger. These steps would be followed by preparation of a trial balance and then with the reporting of financial statements. 4. A general journal can be used to record any business transaction or event. 5. Debited accounts are commonly recorded first. The credited accounts are commonly indented. 6. Expense accounts have debit balances because they are decreases to equity (and equity has a credit balance). 7. A transaction is first recorded in a journal to create a complete record of the transaction in one place. (The journal is often referred to as the book of original entry.) This process reduces the likelihood of errors in ledger accounts. 8. The recordkeeper prepares a trial balance to summarize the contents of the ledger and to verify the equality of total debits and total credits. The trial balance also serves as a helpful internal document for preparing financial statements and other reports. McGraw-Hill Companies, 2007 Solutions Manual, Chapter 2 55 9. The error should be corrected with a separate (subsequent) correcting entry. The entrys explanation should describe why the correction is necessary. 10. The four financial statements are: income statement, balance sheet, statement of owners equity, and statement of cash flows. 11. The income statement lists the types and amounts of revenues and expenses, and reports whether the business earned a net income (also called profit or earnings) or a net loss. 12. An income statement user must know what time period is covered to judge whether the companys performance is satisfactory. For example, a statement user would not be able to assess whether the amounts of revenue and net income are satisfactory without knowing whether they were earned over a week, a month, a quarter, or a year....

Farmhand Position at 9 Bean Rows
General Description: 9 Bean Rows is a diverse food business located in Suttons Bay, Michigan. A farm, bakery and restaurant help accomplish the company's mission of increasing the availability of locally grown and handcrafted artisan foods year round. The farm produces a wide variety of seasonal vegetable crops for distribution to CSA members, farmers' markets, farm-to-school, and the restaurant. The farm is in the process of becoming certified organic and has always used sustainable practices, emphasizing no-till management of the soil and season extension techniques.
Brief Position Description: A small team of Farmhands are guided by the Farm Manager to execute daily tasks and achieve weekly goals related to vegetable production. Farmhands assist in preparing seedbeds, planting and seeding, managing weeds, making minor irrigation and hoophouse repairs, and harvesting. Farmhands are expected to listen carefully to detailed task instructions and understand the significance of the task to the overall farm, such that they may execute tasks with precision and care. Work may at times be physically strenuous and/or performed in undesirable weather; a worker with good physical health and a steady, positive attitude will perform well in this work environment.
This position is appropriate for individuals interested in food production, regular exercise in the outdoors and the aesthetic of clean fields and beautiful produce. The Farm Manager will work with the Farmhand to achieve any personal learning goals for the season, to satisfy internship requirements and/or for personal growth.
Desired Qualifications:
- Previous farming or gardening experience
- Good physical health; able to lift 50 lbs and work a 10-hour day

When: Farmhands are most needed during the traditional growing season, from April to November. However, this is flexible; for example, we understand students will need to return to fall classes in late August. A full-time commitment of several months is desired. The standard work week will be consistent, with four 10-hours days.
Farm Internship with Nature and Nurture
- Details
- Published on Monday, 16 February 2015 01:35
From: Nature and Nurture
Description of Nature and Nurture
We are the owners of Nature and Nurture, Mike Levine and Erica Kempter. We have been doing organic landscape maintenance, fruit and vegetable gardening, and consulting for 20 years. Our farm was purchased in 2013 and we are in the exciting process of moving and expanding to the farm. We live on-site year round. We are transitioning to become a certified organic farm and are on track to do that by 2017. We are located in Scio Township about 8 miles west of downtown Ann Arbor (pop. 117,025). The closest town is the city of Dexter (small town, pop. 4,160), about 2.8 miles to the north.
Our farm is situated on 80.6-acres of wetlands, woods, and clay-loam fields with diverse topography. We have at least 40 acres of fields and the rest is wooded. We produce shiitake mushrooms which are sold to local restaurants. We grow vegetable seeds and sell them online through Nature and Nurture Seeds. Extra produce is sold through various avenues. We have a fruit tree nursery and young orchard. We teach organic gardening classes. All of these projects will be expanded at our new farm. In addition, we will be planning, designing, and implementing permaculture, edible forest projects, and restoration agriculture. A local farmer will be growing organic hay on many of our acres. We will be continuing our landscape gardening business which is primarily offsite at various residences in the Ann Arbor area.
Our Internship Overview
We are looking for self-motivated interns with a positive attitude and good work ethic, who would like to work on a bio-intensive, medium-sized, organic farm. Responsibilities may include soil preparation, planting, weeding, harvesting, irrigation, seed cleaning, and working on basic farm infrastructure (helping build fences, hoop houses, etc). We hope to create an opportunity for those with culinary interests to be involved with farm-to-table cooking (lunch) for the Nature and Nurture community which will be about 7 people this year. This is our second year at the farm and there is much to accomplish. We do not have sleeping quarters for interns, but we can discuss (on a case by case basis) options for interns who may want to sleep in a tent and share our bathroom and kitchen facilities.
We offer lunch, produce, education, and a stipend dependent on experience and performance. The growing season is from April through November; however we have some flexibility in this area. Preference will be given to interns who can commit to the whole season. Interns who are involved in seeds will need to commit through October (seeds are cleaned in August, September, and October).
This internship is experiential and will focus on hands-on application of sustainable agriculture principles and practices. Erica and Mike are both teachers and are committed to the education of interns. Interns who have a special interest may do additional projects in the following areas:
- Growing and marketing of produce
- Seed growing, harvesting, and cleaning
- Shiitake mushroom growing
- Restoration agriculture/permaculture
- Organic invasive species control
- Fruit growing
- Nursery Propagation
Lunch is provided at the farm so we can eat together. There will be a rotating cooking schedule and interns are expected to cook which provides farm-to-table cooking opportunities. Cooks will prepare the meal and clean up right after we eat including washing and drying cooking dishes/pans right after we eat, wiping tables, counters, and stove area, and sweeping floors. The rest of us pitch in to clean their own dishes, clear the table, put the food away, and minimize impact on the inside of the house.
All farm workers are REQUIRED to have lunch together as a community in order to share life, answer questions about the day's events, and discuss the direction for the rest of the day.
We have a 3 bedroom farmhouse. The common areas in the main farmhouse are the kitchen, the dining room, the back bathroom, and the back porch which are shared with Erica and Mike. The rest of the house is Erica and Mike's private space. We don't wear shoes in the house and we must be vigilant to keep the floor clean. Everyone should clean up after themselves in the common areas and put their personal items away.
We have a washing machine, a dryer, clotheslines, and detergent available for personal use, as needed.
Also, we do not allow smoking of any kind or burning of candles, incense, lanterns, etc. in any buildings on the farm and also in any areas where food/produce is being handled. Tobacco smoke in the greenhouse or in the fields is strictly prohibited due to tobacco mosaic virus (tobacco smoke contains a virus that can infect tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and potatoes) Abuse of drugs and alcohol will not be tolerated!
Work Schedule
This internship is a work-learning experience, so you can work after required hours if you want. Minimally we ask that our interns make a commitment of 3 days per week (days of the week to be agreed upon and will generally stay the same) and work 9am -5:30 pm on their scheduled days. If you miss a day we expect you to make it up on a different day. We allow 1⁄2 a day off per month for sick/missed/vacation days and they are cumulative. We may begin earlier during the heat of the season. Lunch is around 11:30 and is a 1⁄2 hour long. Occasionally, you will be expected to work later than 5:30 if there is an unfinished project, if a frost is coming or there any pressing farm emergencies. It is generally understood that workers might need short (10 or 15 min.) water/snack breaks in the morning or afternoon. If it's really hot out, we might end the day early and go swimming at any of a number of local lakes. Our farm has a hiking trail and you are welcome to hike the land after work.
REQUIRED Work Parties/Open Houses
We will have various events including volunteer work parties, tours, workshops, social events, and a fall harvest party. It is expected that interns will help out before, during, and after events. We will let you know as these events are scheduled.
Our friends/customers might come with or without their children to play in the backyard, or just walk about the farm and explore. We ask that you greet them if we are not around to host and make sure they are content, safe, and don't do things that make extra work for us. We expect you to help be our eyes and ears on the farm.
The stipend is based on experience, performance, and how things go for us during the season. Our stipend starts at $200 for the first month (training, orientation, getting to know routines, etc.). This is a trial month. If everything is working well for you and for us by the end of the month, then we expect you to stay until the end of your committed time period. We are counting on you to live up to your commitment. If you need to end your internship with us for reasons beyond your control, WE NEED AT LEAST 2 WEEKS NOTICE ahead of time (more notice is preferred). Monthly stipends based on a 3 day work week will be $250-300 or more. Your stipend amount depends on a lot of factors mentioned above, but especially upon performance (initiative, strong work ethic, consistent work focus, troubleshooting problems, responsible behavior, etc.). Stipends are disbursed on the first day of the month following the month worked.
This is our second year with interns so it will continue be a learning experience for all of us. We will provide a simple lunch, toilet paper, first aid supplies, water, and a reasonable share of produce from the farm to take home when there is surplus. If you want something really exotic for lunch that we don't have, you may need to buy it yourself. We ask that our interns/farm crew supply your own personal hygiene products (sunscreen, bug repellent, etc) and use your own calling card or cell phone for outgoing long distance calls.
Supplies/Equipment/Clothing Needed
- rain coat and pants
- work boots, hiking boots, or rubber boots (no bare feet during work time)
- cell phone or calling card for long distance phone calls
- water bottle
- pocket knife
- towel
- warm clothing (polar fleece, wool, polypropylene etc.) for Fall & Spring Work
- long underwear for Fall & Spring Work
- Sun hat
- Sunscreen
- Bug repellent
Optional Items (Extras are on the Farm)
- work gloves
- favorite cookbooks or recipes
- musical instrument
- slippers for inside the house
Augsburg College Campus Kitchen & Health Commons VISTA
- Details
- Published on Monday, 16 February 2015 01:18
From: https://my.americorps.gov/mp/listing/viewListing.do?id=58879&fromSearch=true
This VISTA position will support two initiatives at Augsburg College that focus on community-serving health and food programs: Campus Kitchen and the Health Commons. The Campus Kitchen at Augsburg College works to make healthy food accessible to all in and around the Cedar Riverside Neighborhood to provide for basic needs, service learning, leadership development, and genuine engagement between the college and the community. We have four components that work to make learning happen though connections with food and the community: food to share, food to grow, food to buy, and food to know. Learn more at: http://www.augsburg.edu/campuskitchen/ The Health Commons are health focused drop-in centers in a local context. The Augsburg Central Health Commons has served downtown Minneapolis, where the majority of participants are homeless or marginally housed, for 22 years. Simple hygiene items, diapers and socks are provided free of charge, and nurses and nurse practitioners are available for health questions, blood pressure checks, foot care and connections to resources. The focus is being a place that is welcoming to all visitors and building relationships with all people. It is our belief that without a community of people who care, health is negatively impacted. The Health Commons in Cedar-Riverside was founded 3 years ago. It operates on the same principles as the Augsburg Central Health Commons, but the participant population in much different. Most visitors are East African immigrants interested in educational groups such as exercise, nutrition and parenting classes. On Fridays, we provide mobile care in various community settings (e.g., public housing or mosques) and provide one-on-one health consultation, massage and Healing Touch. This Health Commons represents a partnership with Augsburg College, University of Minnesota Medical Center and the East Africa Health Project. Learn more about Health Commons at: http://www.augsburg.edu/nursing/.

GIGABYTE GA-MA69GM-S2H MotherboardGIGABYTE is back with their GA-MA69GM-S2H motherboard based on the AMD 690G chipset - hot or not? Let us find out!
The last year the major focus on the PC industry in terms of the CPU war was all Intel. Since the Netburst Architecture was thrown by the way side in favour of the much improved Core architecture, AMD has hit the skids big time, while their CPU's are cheaper per clock speed, Intel has more speed per MHz compared to that of the AMD series.
While AMD may now be the less favoured for the high-end desktop, they are more than adequate for the HTPC and value desktop and with the acquisition of the ATI chipset and graphics division, AMD now has a lot more clout behind its CPU's, as it not longer has to rely entirely on companies like nVidia, SIS and VIA to produce its chipsets.
AMD has only one chipset currently on the market which is the 690G chipset with the 790X coming later this year. AMD's 690G chipset has really taken off as a budget chipset that has a mighty punch to it.
Compared to that of the GeForce 6150 chipset, AMD has really got a winner - its ability to run HDMI as well as superior graphics core makes it a more ideal chipset for the K8, giving you a full AMD system with AMD CPU and AMD chipset.
Today we are looking at the GIGABYTE GA-MA69GM motherboard designed with the AMD 690G chipset. So let us see how well it compares to the MSI based motherboard which we recently tested in our labs.

NPD: Small Appliance Dollar Growth Outpaces Units For 2013 Black Friday Week
Friday December 13th, 2013 - 12:21PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
NPD Group reported that the 2013 Black Friday shopping week (Nov. 24-30, 2013) resulted in a 20% increase in small appliance dollar sales, but less than 1% unit growth compared to the 2012 Black Friday week (Nov. 18-24, 2012). This one week represented 6% of both unit and dollar sales for the last 52 weeks.
"Basic needs and convenience clearly drove appliance sales during the 2013 Black Friday shopping week," said Debra Mednick, executive director and home industry analyst at NPD. "But, the desire for something extra was more apparent this year than last year, with consumers taking the basics to the next level and showing their willingness to trade up
This year, single-serve coffeemakers, waffle makers, and electric grills are the three category segments among the top 10 selling appliances in consumers' carts that were not in the top 10 for Black Friday 2012.

Get Extreme with a Nokia Lumia 900 and Get One Free (sponsored video)
Nokia's Lumia 900, which hits AT&T stores on April 8th for a mere $100, looks like it might just be the phone that will bring the ailing company back into good health. It's slick looking, runs the familiar and highly praised Windows Mobile operating system, and boasts a chassis that even has iPhone and Android owners a bit jealous.
So do you want one…for free? Psssh, who doesn't?! To score one, let Nokia know to what extreme lengths (go here) you would go to try out their latest and perhaps greatest handset. It could be video review performed while jumping out of a plane, or our personal favorite; laying on a bed of spikes while a few Tranchulas traverse your body. Naturally you'd use the Lumia 900's 8-megapixel camera supported by a Carl Zeiss lens to capture all this Tom Foolery.
That said, the Lumia 900 also rocks a stunningly beautiful 4.3-inch AMOLED touchscreen, 7 hours of talk time, 4G LTE connectivity, a 1.4Ghz processor and much more.
