The Belgian utility provider Infrax has built an innovative office space that is every bit as green as its brilliantly-hued facade. Designed by Crepain-Binst Architecture, Infrax West is focused on reducing its energy consumption with a powerful mix of technologies and design. Located in Torhout, Belgium, this building has successfully reduced its energy load by a substantial 40% of code and recently won the People's Choice Award for the 2020 Challenge, based on the Kyoto protocol.
The building's core and facade provide a one-two punch. The building draws thermal energy from a borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) system — basically a large ground-source thermal storage "battery" that is fed by heat pumps. The concrete floors are then heated and cooled though concrete core activation — rather than heating and cooling the air, the floor and ceiling does most of the work via ambient and radiant means. Solar electric panels contribute to the building's energy needs.
The green skin of the building is composed of panels of varying transparencies, creating an eclectic mix of natural lighting that also opens for fresh air. The ground floor of the building is transparent, open and airy, while the upper offices are private but still full of light.

Ph lime peat
Hi all. I would have asked this in the container forum but I could geuss that someone or a few are going to tell me that I cant use peat as a primary medium (pro-mix?) and tell me how pine fines are better, and dont use peat. So there is no reason to even ask in the container section, I will just be told that peat holds too much water and pine fines are better and then give me a link on water retention as if I dont know, as if I can find a cheap source of pine fine, as if I dont pay 1 dollar a Cu Ft for peat where it costs 4 dollars a Cu Ft for pine fines. ;)
Here is the question: Is it 2 table spoons of lime per gallon of peat to make ph at 6 range? Can someone confirm this, thanks.
You don't need a pH meter at all to grow hydroponically. You do however need to monitor pH. But the best way to do that is with pH drops. pH drops don't need calibration, wont give false results, don't require special storage directions, and cost way less than just the calibration fluid for a pH meter. But if you do decide to get a pH meter, I would strongly suggest getting some pH drops also. That way you have something to compare the accuracy of your meter against.
Thanks. Ok, I found how much lime is needed!!!;)
For 4.5 cu ft of peat it takes 5 tb sp of lime but I heard more like up to 8 tb sp. I just balanced 4.5 cu ft of peat with 7.5 tb sp of lime and my house plant is doing very well in it. I use 70% peat-30% perlite. Some plants that need more air I use 50%peat50% perlite.
This works well and I have to say when I used 50% peat and 50% perlite last year on my cherry tomatoes, I did not use lime and they grew very fast.
I know this is a hydroponic forum but I feel soilless is about the same.

So these sound like good value conditions to be a buyer - regardless of when any new peak will be made in the distant future.
Add to the equation that US mutual funds have seen a record monthly outflow (even though the month is only half-over), and US corporate insiders buying is extremely high by all measures, and unusual compared to previous declines.
Small investor panic
Smart buying
And its the infamous month of October....
Its been argued that the Dow is a not a well designed index because it is price-weighted. The S&P 500 on the other hand is a market-weighted index (well until relatively recently). Yahoo has some nice tools that lets you compare index performance over long periods of time. The S&P outperformed the Dow between 64 and early 74. Over that time period the S&P had increased by around 20% (give or take). The Dow on the other hand was even (no relative change). Everything cratered as 1974 progressed.
Three quick points:
Many are focusing on index levels rather than total returns, which include dividends. When you include dividends the long recovery periods basically get halved. In the extreme case, Ibbotson data shows it took over 25 years to rebound from the 1929 peak on a price basis, but only 15 years on a total return basis. Small consolation perhaps, but history is less dire than pundits claim.
Even if you focus on index levels, today's greater prevalence of buybacks should shorten rebound times dramatically. We are already seeing some cash-rich companies act.
We should focus not on breaking even but rather on forward-looking returns. What's lost is lost. Calling the bottom is impossible. Although Peak-Trough-Peak analysis is interesting, the peak is behind us. By analogy, if you started investing in the 1930s, only 2 of the 10 years had negative 5-year returns. While Peak-to-Peak numbers sound dire, folks were making money in the interim. Looking forward, we should take comfort that risk premiums are now attractive.
What to do? Long horizon investors must have an equity bias. Today, that means portfolios should rebalance.
The Bull market was as much about momentum than it was about the underlying economy.The objective aspect of valuating equities is tenuous at best.As long as you have enough of a critical mass to accept the premise of inflated P/E ratios, you do not have a problem.In the last 3 years, we were able to sustain delusional level of valuations as there was a sufficient number of people willing to share that illusion.
The bubble has burst and we do not have anymore the critical mass to sustain that delusional state.The market is left to mechanical forces (gravity has an implacable quality that has liitle tolerance for the fancy spin of the bulls), hence the carnage. People who believe -it is their right- that the market will recover rapidly , might want to take a step back at look at the possibility that it is the end of an era.
It will be very challenging to induce the same delusional state among investors that prevailed during the last 5 years.
It is all about momentum. Time is the enemy. Paulson has used his "bazooka" (I guess he forgot to read the user's manual), Warren Buffett has pit in play the effect bearing his name, CNBC is in full spin mode. To little effect : US$ 2 trillion gone in the last 3 weeks.
2010-2020 : The Reckoning.
How many people at least 10 years away from their retirement can imagine being able to retire comfortably WITHOUT investing their 401(k)/403(b) in equities?Given the large percentage of companies in developed economies listed on stock exchanges, what avenues other than investing in equities are available to most of the investors? I mean, can people start actually taking deliveries of oil, gold, corn, etc as an investment? These days, even the investment in commodities more often than not means investing in equities of companies involved in the production and distribution of those commodities. Same with real estate.Bottomline: the death of equities will only come if and when most companies in developed world would delist from stock exchanges (i.e. go private) and start using only credit financing for their capital needs. What the heck, even in this scenario, there would be private equity groups like Blackstone who will be selling their equity on stock exchanges.So I don't see how investors these days can totally run away from equities. So instead of a long bear market, we'd just have sector/style/market cap rotation. I hate to say this, but I think 'this time it's different (from 1929)'.
I recall that Keynes in his letter to his clients in the aftermath of the 1929 crash, stated "that if they believe that civilization will end, then they should sell their position at a 50% loss. But if they believe that civilization will continue then they should hold on". Not exactly verbatim but the jest is there. So I think we are in a similar situation, but of course with all the garbage(derivatives). I personally think things will get worse. But in a country where only 2% invests in equities, no one really comprehends the situation. Its like I am a prophet in a very unusual place.
You have a good point. However, which companies -and their balance sheet- do you trust ? They want to get rid of mark-to-market. It is like saying : we can't cure cancer so let's forbid diagnosing cancer. Will you buy a stock in a bank that does not have mark-to-market and that will tall you : "it's all good"? It is indeed "different" this time but not for the reasons you think.This time people are quetsioning the systme itself.If you levitate, you are not supposed to think about gravity.Good Luck.
Bulls and bears?And silly me thinking we were going down another Kondratiev... perhaps the last...
There is no reason to fret over bear markets provided you have learnt the right lessons. It is all about riding the wave with patience and capitalising on profit-making opportunities. Bear markets offer excellent shorting oppportunities; you have to pick and focus on some weak stocks which give strong sell signals. For more details check out my blog URL given below-http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/hardilaziz4975/574082
I do not know a lot about indexes, returns, equities and especially derivates but it happens that, once in a while I play golf with guys from the Wall Street. And one of them told me that there are cases that dividends were paid out, saying we are doing just fine, while in the meantime invested money is gone. I would gues "derivated". It is really amazing how disconnected is the market from real world and I do not think that is normal. They behave like aliens. There are basic rules that apply to systems, including financial, and if we do not respect them disaster looms.
It looks like all the secular bull markets are the result of a massive run up of debt and government spending throughout the economy. 1921-29 and 1982-2008 were periods of huge debt growth. The 1949-65 period is a legacy of WW II and Cold War government spending. The bear markets are the hangovers from those periods of debt and spending increase. If the typical bear lasts 20 years, and the debt was still increasing 8 years into this current secular bear market (the housing bubble), one would expect the next big bull run to start around 2020 and maybe as late as 2028.
"bear markets from 1901-21, 1929-49 and 1965-82 and bull runs from 1921-29, 1949-65 and 1982-2000."
I wish this article had been written 10 years ago. However, I may not have believed init.
People advocating elimination of mark to market are advocating perpetuating an economy based on speculation and illusion. What is something worth? This question is why short selling, derided amongst some is a valuable mechanism for finding a mythical price equilibirium.
Something is worth only what you can sell it for. Not what you bought that thing at 3 months ago or what you conjecture it may be in the future while peering into a crystal ball or a bowl of goose entrails.
The burst of the speculative bubble was predicted as EVERY bubble that has ever been created in trade has burst by MANY experts for a long time. Why all the hand wringing now? If you believe the fundamentals of the economy are strong and will grow over time then continue to invest if it makes financial sense to do so.
But borrowing money that is inflated by the US Govt and repaying with cheaper future dollars especially since capital gains are taxes is not a dumb decision. Nor is buying with leverage if bankruptcy is toothless and the govt. will bailout the biggest losers.
As long as there are people to consume services and products and people to provide labor to supply said services and products financial growth ought to be in proportion to productivity (REAL productivity, not productivity linked to fiat currency values) and demographic trends.
With the recent crash, the market is simply reverting to its true long term behavior, as indicated by the cycles mentioned in the article!http://truecost.wordpress.com/2008/10/15/crash-of-2008-three-potential-scenarios/I depict three potential scenarios above, with the Japanese scenario far the most pessimistic. Japan's Nikkei now trades at the same level it traded at in 1983, and it may not revisit its highs of 38,000 for decades yet!It's often forgotten that the booms and busts of the global economy are fundamentally driven by the discovery and use of new technology. The booms of the 80s and 90s were created in no small part by the advent of PCs, biotech drugs, and the internet.What innovation awaits to bring us out of the current slump?
Welcome to extremistan, y'all.
Equity prices outstrip rational profit growth and dividend return expectations every few years mainly because there is so much money chasing so few opportunities.Think how much money is being put into the various individual/corporate/state retirement funds of whatever nature each month. A lot.Think how much additional capital the existing companies out there really need to raise in form of equity. A lot less.That excess is relentless, it is added to total funds under management each month. So when there's $100 of funds chasing $10 of need, virtually all equity investments are from a reseller and not the Company, so the prices can only go up, until eventually prices have to come back to reality.Maybe we'd all end up better off if we re-looked at the fund allocation / theme policies of the really big funds. Most mandates permit a mix of listed equities, government bonds and money market. So where is a private company which needs to expand, or new business venture supposed to get funding? I'm in that game and I can tell you that it is almost impossible to find debt funding for a business (certainly a lot harder than financing a $750k house or $50k vehicle). Until a month ago the vulture capitalists and pirate equity firms were making 20% IRR on what they thought were low risk and liquid alternative markets and therefore not backing new ventures.Let's find a way to channel a modest proportion of retirement funds directly into private companies or start-ups? That's how you grow economic activity and jobs anyways. Idea would not get off the ground because it would require fund managers to do so much hard work and make 5 year decisions, far easier to just get back on the rollercoaster...
I am pleased to see Buttonwood examining the historical context of the current worldwide financial downturn. And although previous editions have taken note of publicly-funded bailouts of the late 80's and late 90's, and of the obvious problem of financial institutions creating financial WMDs which go off each decade like clockwork, very little has been said about the diagnosis and cure for this problem.
How do we stop the private financial institutions from dipping into public kitty in mind-boggling numbers at the end of each decade? The next bomb is scheduled to trigger around my (hoped-for) retirement, and there seems to be nowhere to hide. And the bombs keep getting bigger. This is the face of modern capitalism, and I looking for someone more knowledgable than myself to look it in the teeth.
The equities markets may by inherently cyclical, but to an amateur like myself it appears that these heavy "corrections" may be both destuctive to long-term economic growth and receptive to mitigating measures. Speaking of which, it appears that Sarbanes-Oxley whiffed on sniffing out this mess. Perhaps there is a proverb in there somewhere.
I am losing faith in investing in markets. I was considering my options, and the best I could come up with would be to redirect my savings into cash and start a business. And build equity through my own sweat. Wouldn't it be a lurch if we all had to do that?
Cycles are natural, almost everything in nature has a sinusoid waveform, expecting a linear stable non disrupted growth is close to hope for a miracle. The washout of unsound business that takes place in recessions is generally something good and releases resources for subsequent buildup and expansion.Government intervention or not is more of an academic matter, markets are better at growth and governments are better at stablilizing, so let them do their job.
I remember a paragraph in this very magazine a few years back that compared the GDP of LA in California to that of Russia and the GDP of LA was greater than that of Russia. That right there convinced me that many models of measuring economics/finance were inherently flawed because given the choice 99.44% of people in this world would choose to possess Russia as opposed to LA. Beautiful plastic enhanced models notwithstanding.
So if GDP is a measure of goods and services at their current value is that the real value of the goods and services? No, because if each and every share was for sale the value would be depressed immensely. Therefore a LOT of the wealth in this world is imaginary.
So what is real? Anything that adds perceived value to something that someone may wish to purchase. This is why control of the money supply, transparent accounting, balanced budgets, etc. are important. They help decrease the amount of deception and trickery in financial markets.
Why are asset bubbles be it housing or equities ever believed to be real wealth in which real decisions involving trillions of dollares are made? Is that not some for of collective madness? Ultimately, money supply needs to be linked to real productivity.
Though perhaps the system works as is intended. Keeping the masses busy producing and buying and if a hiccup occurs hit the reset button and keep on.
The true victims of this sort of mess are not Western nations anyways. We won't starve if the price of grain doubles.
Regarding the main topic of the article, I think most investors would be wise to consider the actual course of gains after adjusting for inflation and taxes. The annual after-tax, after-inflation return is approximately 1% plus modest dividends. With the Bernanke strategy to avoid depression by risking high inflation, this might be particularly helpful in considering today's apparent bargains. See http://home.earthlink.net/~intelligentbear/com-dj-infl.htm for a helpful guide.Regarding mark-to-market, while one might endorse the strict and moralistic tone that suggests this is the best way to judge the value of an asset, I think nearly everyone knows that this is reliable only in an idealized market with perfect information. In the current panic, with investments about which knowledge is virtually impossible to obtain, mark-to-market is totally unreliable. Would you go to the local pub with the title to your house and use any cash offers you might hear as a reasonable estimate of the value of your residence? Of course not.With illiquid assets, one must use more sophisticated means. In the current turmoil, predicting housing prices over the next 15-30 years may not be considered practical. So we must rely on actual current and projected income from the investments to calculate their value.We most assuredly should not rely on rare sales of similar equities in an illiquid market as a means to determine real value.

Kubuntu On My Shiny New Laptop
My shiny new Dell XPS M1330 arrived on Monday, so you might say my week got off to a good start.
I have been in the market for a new one for a while, as my old one was really just not cutting it anymore, and I really felt like I needed something a little lighter and more portable. I was initially drawn to the Sony VAIO SZ series for the amount of power crammed into a sleek, attractive and fairly lightweight package. The only drawback I could find was the hefty price tag, but as I could not find anything else around 4 lbs with a 13.3 inch screen ( I just wasn't sure I could deal with 12.1), and a decent graphic card, I was very nearly sold. I tried to put off the purchase as long as possible hoping the price would go down, and I really didn't have such a pressing need for it over the last couple of months apart from just pure technolust.
I had noticed the Dell XPS M1330 before, and though it did have similar specs to the Sony, it was priced at $2199. Yikes. I pretty well crossed that off the list then and there, but to my surprise and delight, Dell did some major post-holiday price slashing, and I noticed the object of my desire had dropped to $1399 with 3GB of RAM. Awesome. I'll take two (which we did, and my husband also has a shiny new laptop of his own).
The one major drawback of all this is that my shiny new laptop (white, for anyone wondering) shipped with MS Vista pre-installed. Now, I must say that I am not a Microsoft-hater. I use Linux, I like Linux, but I don't like to judge others for their OS choices. That said, I had never used Vista, and while I was happy for the opportunity to see and play with it, well, I wasn't ready to marry it so to speak, so out came the Kubuntu CD.
I decided I would keep Windows on the machine and set it up to dual boot. I must say, partitioning the hard drive with Vista's built-in tool was absurdly easy, and I hope this eventually leads to more people "taking the plunge" and giving Linux a go. There are handy tutorials all over the place, so there is really no reason for the new Linux user or even just the Linux-curious to make a little room on their hard drive for their distro of choice.
The installation process is simple, and there is no reason to bore anyone with those details, as I am sure we have all been there and done that. Where this install differs immensely however, is that it all just worked. Quite frankly, I was overjoyed. My last Kubuntu install involving a Wi-Fi card was a nightmare. After trying what seemed like a gazillion versions of the windows driver and ndiswrapper, I finally got my desktop at home to play nice with Kubuntu and wireless, but it was a somewhat painful task that I would imagine would turn many new users away. Granted, many desktop installations don't have much use for wifi, so it is generally the laptops that get installed or upgraded last (See James Gray's recent laptop epiphany here.) This time it all just worked. Even the media buttons work.
So why do you care? Hopefully it is because you like me. The real reason? Linux evangelism. The easier it is for new users to get going, the more our community will grow. It really is that simple.
Anyone out there with a shiny new (or maybe slightly less shiny and new) Dell XPS M1330 can have the same great experience as I did. If you have one, or know someone who does, pass it on. Know a Windows user with one? Hand them an Ubuntu CD (or Kubuntu), and tell them, "Come on, you know you want to. Everyone's doing it."
You don't have to get rid of Windows. Just try a sample. You'll be hooked in no time.

Came with XP so I just partitioned with gpartedCD and dualboot installed ubuntu 7.10. Runs great, wireless and all. It's a gem. Even prints on my old HP5830 without any problem nor installation. I have another partition available so I'll put MythTV on that. The T60 has enough power to run HDTV from a USB stick.
The first (K)ubuntu CD is free, but THEN...
Well, actually, they're all free from that point on as well. So yeah, give it a try. :)

Smells like teen spirit
Television - Andrew Billen enters the scary world of huge spots, stress and raging hormones
Television - Andrew Billen enters the scary world of huge spots, stress and raging hormones
by Andrew Billen Published
''Ask anyone. Fourteen is shit," concluded the Village Voice writer Richard Goldstein in "Gear", his definitive portrait of American adolescence, preserved in Tom Wolfe's anthology The New Journalism. The first programme in BBC1's three-part Teen Species (Wednesdays, 9pm) explained why. And the answer was "puberty".
"Today, we look at the girls, spots and all," enthused the narrator, Amanda Redman. Frankly, I have heard greater come-ons for a tele-vision programme. Fortunately, Teen Species had the good judgement to interweave its gee-whiz popular biology, meaningless but colourful close-ups of exploding hormone crystals and pyscho-soundbites, with the stories of five extremely personable girls who had agreed to be filmed and to confide in the cameras over two years. Each illustrated an aspect of the shittiness.
"Unfortunately, Claudia has lost control of her body," intoned Redman, reciting one of those bits of script that you hoped Brass Eye would have made it impossible to write. Claudia was studying ballet and had been fine, until she shot up six inches in a year. Her limbs were growing faster than her muscles (quite normal, incidentally). As a result, she kept falling over.
Sharmaine, from Wolverhampton, rowed incessantly with her mother, from whom she hid the bad news that she had got 37 per cent in a maths exam. "No way is she getting pregnant at 18," said Sharon, who could not at this stage have heard the gloss of Jeanne Brooks-Gunn, a professor of child development. Where better, Brooks-Gunn enthused, than the safety of the family to learn how to argue? Concealment? That was all part of "resetting the boundaries" with your parents. Chill, ma.
Poor Alex, meanwhile, had suffered the first intimations of puberty at seven. She was diagnosed by a doctor who took an X-ray of her hands and discovered that she had the cartilage development of a teenager. Her adoptive parents - who originally assumed that her moods were the legacy of her first five years in a Romanian orphanage - reached the same conclusion, as their little girl began to need regular showers, deodorants and a razor for her armpits. Alex was a rarity and hormone treatment quickly halted her blossoming, but, we were told, the onset of puberty at nine is no longer uncommon, thanks to the accelerating effects of all the fat that kids now eat. This makes for a very protracted adolescence indeed - and even more shit. Girls who experience early puberty are three times as likely to have eating disorders as girls who develop later, twice as likely to have a drug problem, and twice as many attempt suicide.
Finally, we met the identical twins Rebecca and Jessica, for whom the long wait for their first spot seemed unending, and who were all of 13 when their periods started. Interestingly, the late arrival of their hormonal starburst made them the most sensible of all the interviewees, appreciative of childhood, only mildly envious of their peers' breasts, and pretty unimpressed by the horror stories when they finally began menstruating (within a day of each other). As we heard, there is no correlation between physical and emotional development.
The good news is that teenage eventually ends. Before the closing titles ran, Sharmaine was once again her mum's best friend. Claudia was sailing through her dance exams. And even the twins and Alex, for whom the worst was still to come, had the comfort of an economy pandering to their every greedy little thought. Worth £20bn a year, the teen market not only has disposable income, but disposes. The most shocking moment in a programme that generally failed to shock was hearing a teenage girl estimate that she spent between £200 and £250 a month on clothes - and that a teenage face produces half a litre of sebum a year.
If you wanted to know how shit teenage can actually get, you needed to see Inside My Head (30 June, 8pm, Channel 4). In the conclusion to this drab but therapeutic (for its subjects) series on young people with mental illness, we followed the video diaries of Sarah, a self-destructive anorexic, and her friend Emma, whose phobia about germs was linked to a desperate self-hatred. Here, all the normal anxieties about body image and acceptance had mutated. And if the two girls were brilliant at anything, it was the adolescent's skill at concealing how they felt, a survival instinct that, here, literally threatened their survival, as it conned their carers into releasing them prematurely from a psychiatric unit. There will be few more affecting moments on television this year than watching the video of Emma's 16th birthday and hearing her mother say beamingly that neither of them thought she would live to see it.
In contrast, there will (one hopes) be few less compelling moments than those Channel 4 served up at around 1am last Saturday morning. This was Big Brother Live, and it consisted of a single-camera shot of someone sleeping. Channel 4 once used the licence of the weekend small hours to stage open-ended debates on important subjects. Is this what is meant by the Sleep of Reason?

Employment increases to more than 380,000 workers in July, according to BLS data cited by NW&RA.
Employment within the waste management and remediation services industry has reached a record high, according to the National Waste & Recycling Association (NW&RA), citing statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
BLS announced employment of 382,500 workers in the waste industry for July 2014, an increase of 1,200 employees (0.3 percent) from June's numbers. "The BLS data reflect a general improvement in current economic conditions as well as seasonal factors impacting the industry," says Sharon H. Kneiss, president and CEO of the Washington-based NW&RA.
Waste industry employment trends have mirrored national trends this year. Nationally, 209,000 jobs were added in July 2014—the second consecutive month with an increase of 200,000 or more. The U.S. unemployment rate now hovers just above 6 percent; the waste industry's unemployment rate was 3.2 percent in July, which the NW&RA says is near a seven-year low.
According to the NW&RA, the waste management and remediation services category (NAICS 562) includes solid waste collection, hazardous waste collection, other waste collection, hazardous waste treatment and disposal, solid waste landfill, solid waste combustors and incinerators, other nonhazardous waste treatment and disposal, remediation services, material recovery facilities and all other waste management services.
The National Waste & Recycling Association represents the private sector waste and recycling services industry, with member companies that collect and manage garbage, recycling and medical waste, equipment manufacturers and distributors and other service providers.

President Barack Obama honored finalists Tuesday for the 2013 National Teacher of the Year award and saluted the winner, a Washington state teacher credited with improving science enrollment at his high school.
President Barack Obama honored finalists Tuesday for the 2013 National Teacher of the Year award and saluted the winner, a Washington state teacher credited with improving science enrollment at his high school.
The winner is Jeff Charbonneau, a science teacher at Zillah High School in Washington state's Yakima Valley.
Obama also made special mention of the six educators who died last December in Newtown, Conn., during a shooting spree where a lone gunman also killed 20 elementary school children.
The president said teachers encourage children's passions and inspire their imaginations.
- WSU study: 'Exploding head syndrome' more common than once thought
- McMorris Rodgers should ask hometown folks about Obamacare
- Oregon Zoo elephant Rama euthanized; loved to paint
- Seattle congestion: We're No. 5
- Ivar's to raise restaurant workers' wages to $15 right away

"These teachers, they are the ones we entrust with our kids, they are the people who love our kids," he said.
Obama said the teachers didn't go into this line of work for light hours and easy work, but because of their passion for helping children. He thanked them for not only instructing a given subject, but also teaching students character, compassion, resilience and imagination.
"They're filling young minds with virtues and values," he said. "They're teaching our kids to cooperate and overcome obstacles."
Charbonneau started a program to help students get college credit for the classes they take at the high school but not through Advanced Placement tests.
Charbonneau started teaching in 2001 at Zillah. He instructs students in chemistry, physics, engineering and architecture, and he runs a statewide robotics competition, serves as yearbook adviser and started an outdoors club.
Charbonneau said he greets his students every day with, "Welcome back to another day in paradise." He said the work brings its own reward.
"You see the wrinkles," he said during the award ceremony in the White House Rose Garden. "Wrinkles are the born witness to the hours of laughter and the moments of joy that come from sharing the art of discovery with our students."
The president said he has a "soft spot" for teachers since his sister is and mother was an educator. While math and science teachers are often lauded, he also recognized English, art, music and history teachers for inspiring children to pursue their passion.
As Obama took pictures with the educators, he joked that if any have problems with their students, "tell them the president said …," and the teachers laughed.
Associated Press writer Jim Kuhnhenn contributed to this report.

Packers Should Let Julius Peppers Stick to Pass Rushing
After two games there has been a lot of talk and a lot of questions about the play of Green Bay's big free-agent acquisition Julius Peppers. Through two games, the ultra-talented Peppers has just eight tackles and no sacks and at times has looked a little bit lost. That is because the Packers have tried to play him at outside linebacker, when it's clear he needs to stick to...

The nation's largest federal employee union is losing its president.
John Gage, who heads the American Federation of Government Employees President, announced in a letter to union members that he's stepping down from his position.
Gage called his near-decade-long tenure as president at the union as "challenging but invigorating."
"Along the way, there have been exhilarating wins and hard losses, one after another," he wrote. "Always they were accompanied with the reality of the next organizing drive, the next demonstration, the next election."
Gage, who's 66, said he didn't decide to step down because he wanted to retire but because he wanted to "contribute to the labor movement in other ways."
"I have a growing family that I've kind of neglected," he told the Baltimore Sun in an interview.
In the next 10 weeks, Gage plans to wrap up his time at AFGE by completing negotiations on the organization's first contract the Transportation Security Agency and ensuring continued representation for the union's members.
No word yet on who'll replace him, but Gage said he plans to leave the office of the national president in "excellent shape" for his successor.
