Had to put a a new battery in the GS. Mine seemed to be fine one day and GONE the next. Took it out of my bike and tried to charge it that way off the canbus and that would not do either. Another ride bud of mine had the same thing happen when his got about 2 years old. Anyway, so I will try and aftermarket brand that I trust since its cheaper than the Beemer version that I had and we will see....took the bike out fer a short spin to a road I had not been on in a long long time over near Rosman. Headed up 215 from my place...awful road..avoid it if you get this way:
There are several of these old Iron bridges in the neighborhood. This one goes to private property now and used to be about 5 miles down the river about 60 years ago. Bridge recycling I guess you would say. The bridge that replaced it has been on the NC TIP program list to replace for 25 years...hope yor motorcycle does not weigh over a few tons...no Harley's
( kidding)
I need a better camera or help using this thing. I had it set for a fast shutter since I take stuff rolling but when I stop it all looks washed out. Maybe I need to try something else.
How's this from the BRP by mtngal:
Decent to Rosman:
Neat brick work in town...look at that chimney!
Old store:
East fork of the French Broad River:
My kind of place:
Think some other inmates have posted this yard art up too but here it is in case you have not seen this...funny stuff!
I must have scared the locals since they runnin' from me...
Now I am back on a road where the touristas travel as you can tell
On the way home now. Just before this shot, I came upon 5 deer on the edge of the road. They were totally unafraid and so I stopped and took good photos of the rascals not more that ten feet off the pavement. Can you believe, the shots are not in my camera!! I must have accidentally turned the darn thing off as I remember having to stop and reset everything just before this. You can't tell from my poor lens but the big mountains in the distance are up in the clouds ( ref my shot from the BRP earlier in the ride as I am looking at the same spot where I crossed over) Maybe some more ugly stuff in a few days...

Aldo Romano
Aldo Romano (born on January 16, 1941, Belluno, Italy) is a jazz drummer. He also started a rock group in 1971.
He moved to France as a child and by the 1950s he was playing guitar and drums professionally in Paris, but his career gained notice when he started working with Don Cherry in 1963. He recorded with Steve Lacy and would go on to tour with Dexter Gordon among others. In the 1970s he moved into rock-influenced forms of jazz fusion and in 1978 made his first album as a leader. In the 1980s he returned to his earlier style for several albums. Although he has lived most of his life in France he has retained an affection for Italy and has set up a quartet of Italian jazz musicians. He also played a role in starting the career of French-born Italian-French pianist Michel Petrucciani. In 2004 he won the Jazzpar Prize.

Manila gov't to study drain system of flood-prone underpass
MANILA, Philippines–The Manila disaster management office will examine the plan and drainage system of Lagusnilad and make proposals to the City Council on how to avoid the flooding that has plagued the underpass in the past 30 years.
Lagusnilad was yet again rendered impassable this week after days of torrential rain, spawned by a storm-enhanced southwest monsoon (habagat), caused widespread flooding in parts of Luzon, including Metro Manila.
"After this habagat, we will hold a meeting and propose a retrofitting of Lagusnilad to the City Council," said Johnny Yu, officer in charge of the Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office.
Yu said they will study the plan of the underpass, its drainage and pump systems to know if these should be replaced.
Based on available information, Yu said Lagusnilad has been prone to flooding in the past three decades.
Submersible pumps have been previously installed to remove floodwaters but as the last two monsoon seasons have shown, the pumps may no longer be adequate.
Apart from the high level of rainfall, Yu said the flooding is due to the flow of water from Intramuros, particularly the golf course.
"After examining what kind of submersible pumps were installed before, we may suggest a bigger pump," Yu said.
He said bigger drainage pipes might also be needed.
Once the City Council approves the retrofitting proposal, it will be forwarded to the Department of Public Works and Highways for implementation. A technical working group will be created by the DPWH.
The Quiapo underpass is also prone to flooding but it was spared this time because, according to Yu, its area is twice that of Lagusnilad and it has larger flood pumps.

continued I've read that overwhelmingly, the people of Baldwinsville expressed their desire for a YMCA on Drakes Landing.
So, what is this? Politics at its worst? When town/village officials don't listen to the people who put them in office, it's time for them to leave. We are the ones who can make sure it happens. Vote!
Since I started writing this letter, I've heard that the town of Van Buren will be happy to have a YMCA somewhere in their community and are already looking for a perfect spot. Good for them. Lysander Planning Board, I'd say you screwed up - big time.
K.M. Palmer is a resident of Baldwinsville.

France may emerge as the dark horse in this edition of the junior World Cup hockey tournament. Relying on its fine coordination, France, which had finished 10th in its last junior worlds appearance in 2001, pipped Argentina 3-2 in a Pool B match at the National Stadium here on Sunday to earn its first ever quarterfinals berth in the history of the event.
The French Hockey Federation's vision for four years reflected in the team's performance. Backed by meticulous planning and strong preparation, France, which beat Spain in its first match, toppled the second traditional team in a row to gather six points.
In a match dominated by exchange of attacks, France benefited because of its better tactical game and sound defence.
Even though the Europeans had better control over the ball, Argentina drew first blood through a fine counterattack completed by an unmarked Estanislao Perez Pesado in the 20th minute.
Pieter van Straaten deflected in a high ball to equalize five minutes later. The Frenchmen made quick amends following a fumble and Theophile Ponthieu converted a penalty corner to make it 2-1.
A carelessly raised French stick inside its own circle cost the team a penalty stroke and Argentine captain Gonzalo Peillat made no mistake in drawing parity at the stroke of half-time.
Displaying excellent presence of mind, Jean-Laurent Kieffer nicely received Niels van Straaten's cross, beat a rival defender and goalkeeper with body dodge and reverse-scooped it into the net in the 48th minute.Edgar shines
French custodian Edgar Reynaud, who had minimized the damage in the first half with some solo efforts, continued to shine under the bar. He preserved his side's narrow lead as the opposition strikers frantically searched for the third goal. Argentina, which substituted its goalkeeper with a field player in the closing minutes, accepted defeat as the ecstatic French players celebrated their success.
"They were fast and skilful. But our goalkeeper was very good," said France's coach Gael Foulard.
Despite missing its spark, Australia beat Spain 2-0 in another Pool B match to qualify for the quarterfinals with two wins.
Malaysia posted its second victory to collect six points and qualified.
The results:
Pool B: Australia 2 (Daniel Beale 38, Dylan Wotherspoon 63) bt Spain 0.
France 3 (Pieter van Straaten 25, Theophile Ponthieu 31, Jean-Laurent Kieffer 48) bt Argentina 2 (Estanislao Perez Pesado 20, Gonzalo Peillat 35).
Pool D: Malaysia 2 (own goal 27, Firhan Ashari 43) bt South Africa 1 (Matthew Brown 13); New Zealand 2 (Kane Russell 39, Matt Rees-Gibbs 68) drew withEngland 2 (James Gall 14, Luke Taylor 27)

Driver and Vehicle Agency
The Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA or DVANI) is a government agency of the Northern Ireland Department of the Environment. It was created in early 2007 through the merger of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Northern Ireland (DVLNI) and the Driver and Vehicle Testing Agency (DVTA).
The merger brought together roles which are carried out by separate agencies in Great Britain, namely the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) and the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). A merger of the DVLA in Swansea and the DVA in Coleraine was proposed in February 2012 as part of a review of government services.[1]
Driver and vehicle testing[edit]
Previously the responsibility of the DVTA, the DVA is responsible for the testing of both drivers, in the form of theory and practical driving tests, and vehicles, primarily through the MOT test.
The standards and form of these tests is the same as in the rest of the United Kingdom, where they are performed by the DSA for driving tests and the VOSA for vehicles.
Unlike in Great Britain, where MOT tests can be performed by authorised garages, in Northern Ireland all MOT tests must be undertaken at one of the fifteen DVA test centres.
Driver and vehicle licensing[edit]
Previously the responsibility of the DVLNI, the DVA maintains the database of drivers and vehicles in Northern Ireland; its counterpart in Great Britain is the DVLA. The agency issues driving licences, sells "cherished marks" (private number plates) and, under an agreement from the UK Department for Transport, organises collection of vehicle excise duty (also known as car tax).
It is based in Coleraine, County Londonderry, and also has offices in Armagh, Ballymena, Belfast, Derry, Downpatrick, Enniskillen and Omagh.

Most people only visit hospitals occasionally, when a loved one is sick or a friend is having a baby. Associates at Springs Memorial Hospital are different in this regard. Each day, hundreds of associates come to the hospital to provide compassionate, personalized care for friends, neighbors and those they do not know. Our providers work together around the clock, seven days a week to make healthcare available any time it is needed, whether for one person or more in times of community crisis or natural disaster.
Long before Jesus' birth, the prophet Isaiah wrote a prophecy about the "suffering servant of Jehovah," found in Isaiah 52:13-53:12.
Eight passages in the New Testament declare that this passage describes the Lord Jesus Christ, including the words of Jesus himself, when he said, "This that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end." (Luke 22:37)
I was blessed to have not only my own mother, Juanita B. Walker, but four surrogate mothers. Three of them are deceased, but I want their families to know how much I loved them and how much I appreciate them sharing their loved ones with me.
I would first like to thank the Lancaster News for including my mother in the Black History Trivia Contest in February. She was truly a trailblazer in this community and local, state and national politics, but she never won any awards for that.

Tela Resolves Patent Dispute With Google and Pantech
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) LOS GATOS, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/12/14 -- Tela Innovations, Inc. announced that it has resolved its pending patent infringement litigation with Google by a mutual license agreement between the two companies. Tela also reached a separate agreement to settle its pending litigation with Pantech of Korea. Terms of the agreements will remain confidential.
Motorola Mobility LLC, acquired by Google in 2012, and Pantech were named as respondents in an investigation instituted in March 2013 by the United States International Trade Commission as a result of a complaint filed by Tela. Both parties were also named as defendants in Tela's contemporaneously filed patent infringement action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Joint motions to dismiss all pending litigation have been filed by the parties. Litigation against the remaining defendants in these suits, LG Electronics, Nokia and HTC, remains pending.
"Tela has invested significant resources to develop and protect its foundational technology enabling continued semiconductor scaling and these agreements are confirmation of the strength of our patent portfolio," said Scott Becker, president and CEO of Tela. "Our patented products enable designers to achieve the best performance, area and power characteristics possible as semiconductor processes continue to scale." Tela has been ranked by IEEE Spectrum magazine as being among the leaders of the semiconductor and electronics industry for the quality and potential impact of its patents. In 2012 the prestigious organization ranked the company 11th overall in the semiconductor industry, on the strength of the quality of its innovations, which are seen as having long-term impact on addressing key challenges in semiconductor manufacturing.
About TelaTela Innovations is a privately-held company based in Los Gatos, California that provides solutions addressing the challenge of scaling semiconductor design and manufacturing to advanced process nodes.

Nasdaq resumes trading after 3-hour halt
"It's newsworthy because it's never happened before quite like this, but I think American securities have a long track record going back many decades and I don't think this is a long-term tarnish on investors' confidence," he said.
Dan Seiver, economist at Reilly Financial Advisors, said he didn't foresee a long-lasting negative effect.
"The Dow Jones seems to be fine and the New York Stock Exchange seems to be fine," he said. "It's just another sign that computers can break down and this one seems to be relatively benign so far. It's a relief."
Trading glitches can also change fortunes. A technical bug spelled the end for Knight Capital as a stand-alone company, and marred its long-held reputation as a stellar risk manager, after it sent the stocks of dozens of companies swinging wildly on Aug. 1 last year. It also left Knight, which takes orders from big brokers like TD Ameritrade and E-Trade, on the hook for many of the stocks that its computers accidentally ordered. Knight teetered near bankruptcy and this summer was taken over by the high-speed trading firm Getco.

Days after the Vibgyor High School was shut following outrage over the alleged rape of a six-year-old student by one of its staffers within its premises, the institute in Bangalore's upscale eastern suburb reopened on Monday.
The school reopened today for students of Classes 5 to 10. From Wednesday, all classes from Class 1 will commence. The decision to reopen the institute was announced on July 24 after a three-hour meeting of about 200 parents with the school management.
Bangalore has witnessed a slew of protests after the shocking incident came to light. The earlier Police Commissioner Raghavendra Auradkar also faced the heat and was replaced by M N Reddy.
Meanwhile, a task force comprising parents, teachers and senior students has been set up to implement certain guidelines to ensure safety and security of about 3,500 students studying in the school.
Notably, the parents have submitted to the management a set of 40 guidelines, it will put in place 11 of them for reopening the school and other measures by September 12, as they involve additional resources and logistics. Earlier, they had also taken signatures from over 100,000 parents of same accord to file a written petition to the Human Resources Development ministry.
Mr. Kaushik, the father of a student studying in Vibgyor School said, "I have come just to ensure if things are fine. How much comforting the given guidelines are will be known with time. The schools have already done a few things to ensure the safety. We are looking forward to how quickly all the measures are adopted and followed."
Mrs. Dutta who had a tough time in convincing her daughter to join the school again told ANI, "I have come here to drop my daughter and also ensure if things are in place. My daughter is in eighth standard and understands things well. We had to counsel her over few things and only then she has agreed to come back to the school."
"It is very tough for her and us as well to make such decisions. I just hope that the measures taken don't get over in a week or month's time," she added.
The immediate guidelines include installing closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras in all classrooms, playrooms, restrooms, labs, library, teachers' room and at vantage points covering the entire school premises, including the playground.
The school will employ adequate women security guards after background checks and will make profiles of all those employed on contracts for non-curricular and non-academic activities.
The school has agreed to stop allowing outsiders to use its swimming pool before and after school hours. It will also maintain records of all security guards and drivers employed to operate its fleet of transport vehicles used to pick and drop students from their homes.
"The school has been told to train and sensitise the non-teaching staff on dealing with the wards to ensure their safety and security," Ramesh said.
A parents-teachers association will also be formed to oversee the implementation of the safety measures in the school.
The school's founder chairman Rustom Kerawalla was granted conditional bail on July 23 after he was arrested in Daman on July 22 and flown to city for interrogation. Kerawalla was booked for destroying evidence of the crime, giving false information to screen the offender and failing to ensure the safety of the victim.
Police arrested main accused Mustafa alias Munna on July 20. He has been sent to judicial custody.

We happen onto some really great ideas for cooking our farm vegetables by google-ing the vegetables we have that we want to use and then seeing what recipes pop up....our latest google was chicken, sausage, tomatoes, onions, peppers and okra - and Gumbo was the number one hit - duh!
So last night we made a great big pot of gumbo! We couldn't find a recipe that we really liked so we borrowed from several and came up with our own recipe.
Skinny Lane Farm Gumbo - serves 6-8
2 lb chicken boneless chicken breast
2 lb sausage (we used Elgin Jalapeno Cheese Sausage)
1 1/2 cups onions chopped
1 cup chopped peppers
3 cloves garlic minced
2 cups fresh tomatoes pureed
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups chopped okra
Cajun seasoning
Worstershire sauce
Brown chicken and sausage and cut into bite sized pieces and set aside. In the remaining juices saute onions, peppers and garlic. Boil tomato puree for 10-15 minutes while veges are cooking.
When onions are soft add okra and saute for 5 minutes, then add tomatoes and meat back in. Season to taste with Cajun seasoning, worstershire and pepper. Bring to a boil then simmer for 30 minutes.
While gumbo is simmering make a roux. You can make a white roux with butter or dark brown with oil. We used butter.
Melt 2-3 tbsps butter in an iron skillet, when melted add 2-3 tbsp flour and stir continuously until it begins to brown. Stir into gumbo and continue to simmer for 15 mins.
Serve over rice and enjoy!

Family trees ... and plants, flowers, decorations, gifts
The Wilbanks women are the epitome of Southern hospitality, with their welcoming smiles, sweet drawls and warm hugs.
This legacy started with matriarch Willie Pearl Carter, who was murdered during a bank robbery in Lakeland in September 2000.
"One of my mother's main goals in life was to make sure all of her family was together and happy," said Eleanor Wilbanks.
Carter would be proud to know that all of her family are together and in business at Country Gardens Nursery and Eden's Gift Shop, which opened in March of 2003, but soon weathered a natural disaster. Located by Agricenter International and the Farmer's Market, it offers a wholesale and retail nursery, as well as a unique gift shop.
"It's a business that I was made to be in," said Lori McDaniel, 47, Wilbanks' daughter, who owns the business with husband John McDaniel, 48. "God knitted the nest for me, so my sister and mother could be with me."
John McDaniel found the property, and his original plans for the place were for a wholesale nursery.
Once the women saw it, plans changed.
Drawn to the nostalgia and character of the house and old red barn on the property, they envisioned a gift shop.
The start-up cost of the nursery and gift shop was about $100,000. The McDaniels own the buildings on the property, including the gift shop, barn and greenhouse, and they lease the land.
In 2003, just four months after opening, the windstorm dubbed "Hurricane Elvis" hit, causing extensive damage to the property.
"A tree fell on the gift shop, and the greenhouse was destroyed," Wilbanks said. "But we survived and soon got it put back together."
They resumed business about six weeks later, and managed to have a great fall season.
John McDaniel said the retail business has since grown.
"We've built good relationships with our customers over the years," he said. "The backbone of our business is word of mouth."
Country Gardens and Eden's Gift Shop caters to homeowners and families.
The gift shop carries an eclectic selection of items for women such as accessories, one-of-a-kind jewelry and purses. Items for the home include candelabras, photo frames, indoor garden accessories, unique vases and hand-crafted artifacts. Prices range from about $1 to $300.
The nursery carries a vast selection of seasonal plants and flowers. A collection of garden art, pots and fountains are also for sale.
The wholesale business sells to garden centers, florists, landscapers and groceries in the Mid-South and surrounding areas.
Lori McDaniel's sister, Debbie Dunlap, 48, is the shop's floor designer. Wilbanks, 67, is the office manager and bookkeeper and is also a real estate agent for Crye-Leike. The McDaniels' son, Micah McDaniel, 26, is the retail nursery manager and has a landscaping business on the side. And Dunlap's son, Chase Dunlap, is the wholesale nursery manager.
Holiday decorations are a specialty, and customers can find something for every season. They sell a lot of decorations for fall harvests at schools and churches and also ship bulk loads of pumpkins.
Starting Thanksgiving week, the first load of Christmas trees, garlands and wreaths arrive at the nursery.
"From season to season, we wanted to provide something for everyone," Lori McDaniel said. "We provide a place you could come to find all your fall and Christmas decorations."
One of the store's biggest fans is Chet Whitsitt, an agent for Crye-Leike.
"There's just something very special about that whole family that just makes you feel like when you walk in there, you're a part of the family," he said. "I've been going there since it opened. They're just really good folks and they give everyone a good deal and they take care of you."

We wouldn't want to accuse Mercedes of being cynical enough to name its convertible concept just to please the US market, but you have to concede that Ocean Drive does sound curiously non-Teutonic.
Strategic name-checking aside, the Ocean Drive is a four-seater convertible based on the long-wheelbase S600 saloon.
We reckon the S600's V12 is lurking under the bonnet, which would see the Ocean Drive (wasn't that a Lighthouse Family album?) to 60mph on the sharp side of five seconds.
Essentially it's what a next-generation S-Class ragtop would look like in the hands on an American. The chunky grill and old-school US alloys seemed to please the home crowd, and we have to concede that - for a luxury convertible at least - it's not too ugly.
Mercedes is staying quiet on the performance details, but suffice to say that the Ocean Drive gets all the MB techno-gubbins. Just a shame about that name.

The Impact of the BP oil spill
No one can turn the news on these days without being sickened. We are getting a first-hand look at what happens when Mother Earth is decimated by those who defile her.
As members of the San Francisco Bay Area population, we have prided ourselves for several decades as being aware conservationists. We have been members of our own California brand of "green pride" since the 60's. Remember the "Save our Bay" campaign? Better yet, remember how the bay once smelled at low tide--before the Save Our Bay Campaign was launched?
In the 50's one couldn't drive by the bay near then Candlestick Park on 101 with car windows rolled down--the stench was horrific. Then, some amazing souls got the idea that maybe our bay was worth saving! Now people, proudly live on the shores of the San Francisco Bay; something our long-departed grandmothers would never be able to understand knowing only the cesspool that the San Francisco Bay had become in their own lifetime.
Photo by Sierra Club-- Flyover of BP Oil Disaster
Now we are dealing with one of the most deadly man-made eco catastrophies in history. Louisiana cried out for help that did not come soon enough as the oil spill in the gulf spread to her shores. The oil destroyed wildlife in its path and nesting grounds on shore; not to mention the entire fishing industry of the Gulf Coast. One man, it is reported, took his own life because his life and lively-hood as a fisherman was ripped away as a result of the spill. God only knows for certain what will happen in the long-run, but for now, the folks in Louisiana have seen their homeland coastline literally killed by this horrible accident.
When the oil began to stream toward Florida, our slow-to-the-party government response team began to perk up. After all, some of those Floridians have family up in New York and D.C., the places that really seem to count, as disasters go. No one could have watched emotionless, as the small child on Pensacola Beach looked at her oil-soaked beach and sobbed to see what had become of her perfect white stretch of sand. Horrific and so very, very sad.
It has become clear that this disaster is a long way from over. It has been said that it is possible that the oil could be pulled around the tip of Florida, and if caught up in the Gulf Stream, the oil could be pulled up the Eastern Seaboard to deposit deadly oil on East Coast beaches that have been safe up to this point, according to Dr. Stephen Leatherman of Florida World University. Is that really possible? One little oil rig out of hundreds that line our coastlines could leak its oil into the water and travel half way around the perimeter of the United States' coastline? According to those most knowledgeable scholars on the subject, it is quite possible; and the ramifications are again, so very sad.
We watch the news on television each night and cover our eyes at the sight of all of the dead sea birds soaked in oil. We have no idea at all what is happening under the water. It is too much to handle. One thing is very clear now that we have been jolted into a crude reality by this disaster; it is time to pay attention to our relationship with our planet. Can we continue to abuse her and expect that we will still have her to nourish and feed us?
Perhaps we need to get our priorities in order before it's too late. If any good has come out of this tragedy, it is that this spill got everyone's attention. Not much talk from coastal oil drilling proponents, including President Obama, about oil drilling off the coast since this disaster. Suddenly no one thinks more offshore drilling is a good idea. You can always count on politicians to lean whichever way the wind blows. Too bad we couldn't count on them to have had a plan in place to deal quickly and efficiently with a spill in our waters. Too bad indeed.

I'm the Kind of Person Who Can't NOT Help Animals. Are You?
One of the hardest things about loving animals is sometimes, well, loving animals. I'm the kind of person who will do anything (and I mean anything) to help an animal in need. I just can't turn away.
I'm a good person. I know.
I have a big heart. I know.
I am making a difference. I know.
And I'm also exhausted, often stressed, and break down every couple months because I take on too much, care too much, and probably do too much. But the animals ... If I don't help, who will?
If I see a cat that looks lost, I have to stop and see if it has a collar. There are feral cats in my office parking lot that I have to feed. There are kittens that are dumped in places they likely won't survive, and I have to rescue them. I have to, because I simply can't do nothing.
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be one of those people who is unaffected by these things. Someone who sees a stray cat and doesn't even look twice, doesn't even wonder if that might be someone's much-loved pet who needs a little help getting home. Someone who can just park at work and not care that seven beautiful black cats are hungry and thirsty, and just walk to the office and ignore them.
I wonder what it would be like to be someone who has never e-mailed everyone you know begging someone, anyone, to please give a cute little kitten a home. Or someone who hasn't spent hundreds of dollars in vet bills for cats who live outside and aren't even technically theirs.
Sometimes I think it would be easier. But then I wonder what it would be like to be missing out on so much. It must be horrible.
People like that don't know how special it feels to earn the trust of a feral cat that lets you pet it for the first time. They don't know how good it is to know you're giving cats who aren't lucky enough to have homes a better life and the love they deserve.
People like that have never had their hearts fill up with happiness when one of the many friends they e-mailed offers to give that kitten you found a home — to know that you probably saved that kitten's life, and because of you, it will be safe, well-fed, and spoiled.
I am the person everyone calls when they need cat help. It stresses me out sometimes, yes, but I wouldn't change it for the world. And I will drop everything I'm doing to help that cat.
I just will. And I will continue to. Because I wonder why anyone would want to be those other kind of people.
P.S. If you're the kind of person I am, I stumbled upon an amazing article yesterday, Compassion Fatigue — Emotional Burnout in the Animal Care Field, which was such a great read. It really hit home on so many points, and made me think about how much more I need to think about myself. I highly recommend you check it out!

Open Business Intelligence from Infobright and Jaspersoft
The Infobright and Jaspersoft firms have combined their open source software into an integrated data warehousing and business intelligence solution.
Infobright Community Edition (ICE) is not multipurpose data storage. Instead, the GPL software is intended for loading data and using it in read-only mode, called data warehousing. The storage can be as much as 30 TBytes of data, a table can contain billions of records. The software is available for Linux (32-bit and 64-bit) and Windows (32-bit). A white paper goes into some of the details of the Infobright architecture. The database system used is MySQL.
Jaspersoft adds its Business Intelligence Suite to the Community Edition solution. Jaspersoft is under LGPL and consists of the BI Suite, JasperReports, iReport, JasperServer, JasperAnalysis and JasperETL (Extract Transfer Load). The software is ready for download at the Jasperforge site.
The combined Infobright and Jaspersoft project page evidently still has problems with the Infobright CE (ICE) download data.
However, the data warehousing software is also available at the Infobright site. A short Jaspersoft data sheet includes the critical aspects of the integrated solution.
According to the partner firms, the combined solution is already in production at Bi3 Solutions, which provides business intelligence and collaborative performance management solutions using the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model.

The search for a German tourist missing in Nelson Lakes
National Park for six days is today being hampered by snow
and freezing conditions.
Christian Ulf Erik Prehn, 19, was last seen last Tuesday and
police say they hold "grave concerns" for his welfare.
Search teams, including a helicopter and a dog team, spent
yesterday in the Travers Saddle area where his pack was
earlier found.
Two ground search teams spent last night at the Travers Hut.
One team is out searching again this morning but both teams
are walking out of the area today as snow falls.
Up to 8cm of snow was forecast in the area today with a wind
chill factor of -10C, said search coordinator Senior
Constable Dave Colville.
Searchers are hopeful of getting back into the area mid-week
when the weather is forecast to clear again.
Police want to speak to a German woman called Angela Bahr who
is believed to have spoken with Mr Prehn at one of the huts.
Mr Prehn arrived in New Zealand in October on a one-year
tourist visa.
Inquiries by police indicated the pack - which was full of
gear and personal items - may have been there for up to a
week before it was recovered.
His parents, who are in Germany, have spoken with police in
New Zealand.
Anyone with information that may assist this search should
call Nelson police on 03 546 3840.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

It's a little difficult to do at home unless you are comfortable working on cars and have good tools. Alldata is a god information source. Autozone have some popular workshop manuals for free on line once you register (for free) on their website http://bit.ly/autozone_repair_info or there is a company that independent auto repair shops "buy" their information from that offer a very reasonable service to do it yourselvers. You can get a one week subscription or year subscription very cheap. The information is year make and model specific repair procedures, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... great quality information same as the professionals have ,much better than generic workshop manuals from parts stores, much cheaper than the factory manual try http://bit.ly/mitchell_repair_manuals_online and get an online repair manual subscription. - patrick mannion

VIEWS: 7 PAGES: 6 POSTED ON: 5/8/2010 Public Domain
Massachusetts DOER – RPS Advisory Group Thursday, April 27, 2000 Facilitator: Dr. Jonathan Raab, Raab Associates, Ltd. Meeting # 8: Summary 37 people attended the meeting, which began at 9:15 and concluded at 3:30. Documents Distributed Prior to Meeting: 1. Agenda for today's meeting, Raab Associates, Ltd. 2. Meeting Summary of March 30th meeting, Raab Associates, Ltd. 3. "Massachusetts Renewables Portfolio Standard, Analysis of Costs & Impacts", Douglas C. Smith, et al. (3/21/00) 4. White Paper # 9: "Evaluation Methodology", Wiser, Ryan et al. At the Meeting: Overhead slide presentations: 1. "Existing Renewable Supply/Demand", Douglas Smith (La Capra Assoc.) 2. "Massachusetts RPS Preliminary Design", Nils Bolgen (DOER) Administrative Matters 1. There was one correction to the March 30th Meeting Summary: p.3, first bullet under "Accounting for Losses" – change "contested area" to "congested area." Existing Renewable Supply/Demand Doug Smith from La Capra Associates reviewed draft analysis on the projections of existing renewable supply vs. demand thru 2020 in New England. He looked at the demand from the RPS requirements in MA, CT, and ME and also made some projections regarding additional demands from green marketing. On the supply side he included all potentially qualifying renewables, including all hydro and biomass. According to La Capra's analysis, demand is not projected to exceed supply for approximately 12 years when estimated green demand is included, and approximately 16 years with all the RPS requirements but assuming no additional green demand. [Note: It was discovered during the course of the presentation that some of the supporting tables were not the ones that matched the graph. Corrected slides were distributed via email the day after the meeting.] Group members asked numerous questions, and made some observations and requests for additional data documented below: 1 HQ sales may be higher than shown. Numbers do not appear to include HQ sales to NY that are passed thru to New England. Figures need to be checked. Imports may be more 8 or 9 million MWh. Do the renewable facilities' licenses last beyond their contract period? The Maine Standard for eligible hydro is under 100 MW Did you estimate the price premium that might be anticipated over time based on your projections of the supply and demand balance over time. [Answer: not yet.] At the close of the discussion, numerous Group members requested that La Capra run other scenarios and sensitivities on the data, including: 1. Alternative hydro assumptions: a. Leave out "large" hydro b. Leave in only "low impact" hydro c. Leave in only hydro that can be considered "daily cycle hydro" 2. Alternative Biomass assumptions 3. Do sensitivity analyses on the following 3 variables: a. Attrition b. Green demand c. Going forward operation costs La Capra agreed to make some additional runs, and try and distribute the output prior to the next meeting. (Please contact Jonathan Raab immediately if you feel that anything was left off the list of scenarios and sensitivities.) DOER's Preliminary RPS Design Following opening remarks by Commissioner David O'Conner, Nils Bolgen spent the rest of the day stepping the Group through DOER's preliminary RPS design [see handout for description of DOER's recommendations]. After each major topic, the Group asked clarifying questions and then provided DOER with some initial feedback. These questions and comments are captured below, organized by topic. Applicability: Some of the DISCO's have standard offer contracts through 2004 or 2005. How will they comply, specifically how will DISCO's stockholders be sheltered from any cost increases caused by meeting the RPS? Compliance with the RPS will be mandatory for all suppliers, but will be voluntary for generators (i.e., generators who want to be eligible for selling RECs will need to comply with DOER's requirements). Change "owner of any generation" to "owner, operator, or holder of contract for power." 2 Would it be unfair for munis to be able to sell RECs but not have to buy RECs? Perhaps you need to require reciprocity to make sure accounting system clears (i.e., RECs are associated with equivalent amount of power sold to non-muni MA customers). Standards: Existing Renewables: DOER probably can't design standards for existing renewables that adequately protects those in need of protection (i.e., the higher priced renewables). Maine's inclusion of existing renewables, at a minimum had a psychological benefit. If no great cost to consumers, then why not include requirements for existing renewables? If there's attrition of existing renewables, let new renewables replace them. Even if there's not a lot of activity related to existing renewables in the short run, it would still be useful to have a standard for existing renewables at least to clarify the standards (e.g., for biomass). If DOER holds off on implementing a standard for existing renewables, it should use the questions identified on slide #12 to monitor the market. Not implementing a standard for existing renewables now can impact the green market, perhaps making it more meaningful and more environmentally beneficial by accelerating adoption of new renewables by green marketers. DOER shouldn't give up on trying to design meaningful requirements for existing renewables. If DOER limits hyrdo eligibility could lead to a more meaningful RPS for existing renewables. DOER should have the authority to restrict hydro based on market power issues. One option would be to not allow any generator to control more than 35% of the RECs; 55% for 3 generators; and 75% for top 5 generators. [Others asked whether DOER had the authority to address market power issues.] Early Start Trigger: Will early compliance complicate things for those coming on-line in 2003 by reducing the price they could get for their RECs? Eligibility for New Renewables: It will be challenging to figure out the renewable content of dual fuels. Maybe put onus on owner to demonstrate amount of renewables actually used. DOER should also look at capacity expansion (i.e. MW) in addition to increased energy production (MWh). Generator Eligibility: Biomass and Landfill Gas: What does DOER mean for biomass by "most recent MA air quality permit?" 3 How does DOER propose to treat out-of-state biomass plants built between 1997 and today? Should it apply 1997 or current MA BACT standard? Is this differential treatment with in-state facilities? Another approach for biomass is to have DEP do a BACT analysis now and put numbers in the regulations, given that the Pinetree facility, which was DEP's last biomass BACT analysis is nearly a decade old. Pipelines probably won't take landfill gas, so DOER should only include landfill gas that is converted to electricity on-site or is transported by a dedicated pipe to an electricity plant nearby. Location: Be consistent with transmission tariffs. RECs created either at the plant or at the border to New England would need to be derated for distance. What's an adequate demonstration that a supplier in MA made a purchase? What if anything beyond just buying the credits? It could be a chilling problem if every REC from an import needs to show a bilateral contract to prove that the power came into New England. Interstate commerce could allow restrictions on imports if good policy rationale. DOER needs to do a comprehensive legal analysis of the issue. DOER should consider issuing credits to generators, only to those states outside New England where credits have value (i.e., reciprocity where the other states also have an RPS or certificate systems). Generators need to demonstrate sales not suppliers. At least 2 other states have put some restrictions on imports. DOER should just limit imports to contiguous states and provinces. Restrict imports to only those places with comparable comprehensive GIS (generation information system) [to the one that ISO-NE may eventually have in place]. Make sure that exporting state treats energy as null energy once RECs are sold. Make sure generators in exporting states can't resell energy as renewables again once sold RECs as a contractual matter. Customer-Owned Generation: Attendees were unanimous in their lack of support for DOER's recommendation that customer-owned generation not be eligible for the RPS. Arguments included: 1) it would be inefficient; 2) force people to structure strange deals to qualify; 3) it's inconsistent w/state support for DSM; and 4) customer-owned generation could be considered a "pre-paid" sale of energy. People felt that DOER was reading too much into "retails sales" language in the legislation, and some pointed out that will likely be sales to the grid sometimes during the year or day in any case. 4 Accounting Systems: Suppliers' use of the RECs should appear on the register to help avoid double use. Supplier Compliance: Product vs. Company and the Disclosure Label: Most attendees disagreed with DOER's preliminary recommendation to require compliance on a Company basis rather than a product basis. Some pointed out that they were very surprised given the recommendations of the white paper and the seeming consensus of the Group on this issue at the session where it was discussed. DOER pointed out that they did not feel that they had the authority to require product-based compliance. Many disagreed with DOER's interpretation of the law. Some attendees were also skeptical about the workability and advisability of DOER's recommendations to change the disclosure label which would effectively turn disclosure into a product-based system. Some felt that this would create problems w/disclosure in other states and with the GPS. The Maine Legislature was convinced to effectively administer the RPS on a product basis and amended the law. Show customers what resources RPS compliance comes from. Customers may also want to see what's new vs. existing renewables. Emission rates need to show up, and would be inconsistent with what DOER is recommending for fuel type. This could be a "disconcerting mismatch." Can you change the regional disclosure label to accommodate MA RPS? There's a math error in DOER's supporting table (slide 46), should be 5 MWh MA and CT RPS allocation (not 10 MWh). Don't add a statement regarding compliance w/RPS on the label. If they weren't in compliance they ultimately won't be selling in MA or have a label. DOER should go back to the Legislature, if it feels it need to, to clarify that the RPS should be on a product rather than a company basis. DTE regulations have some restrictions already about what can be marketed as green energy above RPS requirements. Use term "EPS" and not "GPS". Flexibility Mechanisms: The Group was divided regarding DOER's recommendation not to include banking. Some argued that customers and suppliers could be adversely impacted without banking, while others felt that banking wouldn't work with disclosure. Some wondered whether banking would circumvent the letter of the law which requires that certain levels be met in certain years. Look at symmetry of the flexibility mechanisms. Isn't the penalty set up to deal with shortcomings of supply? Can early compliance credits be banked for use in years after 2003? 5 Sanctions for Non-Compliance: Consider accelerating future requirements for those in non-compliance. Options for placement of any penalty money: general fund; MTC, or purchasing and retiring RECs. What about all the penalty details recommended in the Consultants' white paper, is that being dropped? [DOER, we have streamlined the recommendations considerably.] The penalty will act as a de facto cost cap. Next Steps Next meeting, on Thursday May 18, will once again be at Foley, Hoag, & Eliot. DOER will refine its recommendations and prepare a draft of its comprehensive RPS proposal for discussion at the meeting. La Capra Associates will also be updating its analysis on supply vs. demand of existing resources and running various alternative scenarios. Both sets of documents should be circulated prior to the meeting. t:\renewabl\rps\advisory group\meeting #08-0427\mtg#8 summary-0427.doc 6
