Scaling up efficiency and renewables
through standardization
Call for policy makers to work more closely with International Standards Development Organizations
Janice Blondeau
With global energy demand forecast to increase by 33% between now and 2025, the IEC co-hosted a workshop on International Standards in support of energy efficiency and renewable energy policies in Paris on 13 March 2014.
Changes on the energy horizon
To support the global economy and mitigate the effects of climate change, scaling up both EE (Energy efficiency) and RE (Renewable energy) is crucial. The workshop, co-hosted with IEA(International Energy Agency) and ISO (International Organization for Standardization), brought together policymakers, international standardization organizations, industry and other key stakeholders to address how they can work more closely together on these two key aspects of meeting the energy challenge. The workshop participants stressed that only when private and public stakeholders work hand-in-hand will it be possible to put in place technology-independent decision-making processes, well-designed policies and the right technology systems.
As part of these efforts International Standards are essential to create the certainty and clarity needed for market development and to allow investors to develop viable business models. In addition, a combination of effective energy policies and private sector investment in clean technologies is needed to move towards more sustainable energy systems.
Scaling-up with policies and standards aligned
The workshop made a series of recommendations for the scaling up of these two vital areas.
- International standards should be used in support of EE and RE policies. Most if not all technical solutions are globally relevant so needs identified nationally or regionally should be brought to the international level as soon as possible to support global advances in EE and RE.
- Public and private sectors should work hand-in-hand. For industry it's important that the marketplace has a level playing field and for policymakers it's important to reduce risk, without hindering the market. International standards should be developed in response to policy ambitions and conversely, policy may also be influenced by technical developments. Working in alignment on a global scale will accelerate advances in EE and the use of RE.
- Transparency and collaboration are key. Many efforts are underway to map policy and standardization needs in EE and RE. An early exchange of information at the international level between the policymakers and the standards developing organizations would enhance alignment. A more proactive, targeted outreach by standardisation bodies and policymakers is therefore encouraged to improve communication and interaction.
- Systemic and holistic approaches are necessary. In the words of Lord Kelvin "if you can't measure things, you can't improve them", but measuring something is only the very first step towards finding a solution that will make a difference on the ground. Nowadays, standards need to cover topics such as installation, operation and maintenance as well as performance and safety. Cross sector approaches should be used as efficiencies typically show up across the whole system.
- Coherent direction is required. Governments need to be clear about the policy objectives for EE and RE and should align policies as far as possible so that international standards can be developed in support of these goals.
Practical ways to address the energy challenge
In this equation, the IEC provides the solid technical foundation that enables the safe and consistent roll-out of the large majority of electrical and electronic technology solutions that achieve concrete energy efficiency improvements.
The IEC believes that smart electrification – the intelligent and economic use of electricity as a major energy source – will be one of the most significant factors in addressing the energy challenge and increasing energy efficiency. In this sense, building energy efficiency directly into devices and systems must be a key goal to significantly and consistently reduce energy consumption.
An IEC perspective
At the workshop, the growing role of International Standards in policy development was presented by Richard Schomberg, Chairman of the IEC Smart Energy Systems Committee, of IEC TC (Technical Committee) 8 System aspects for electrical energy supply and of IEC PC (Project Committee) 118 Smart Grid User Interface. He gave practical examples of a systems approach to energy efficiency and Smart Grids.
Ralph Sporer, chair of IEC ACEE (Advisory Committee on Energy Efficiency), spoke about IEC's on-going energy e¬fficiency developments and perspectives. Frank Ormel, of IEC TC 88 Wind turbines, spoke about the new IECRE (IEC Renewable Energy Conformity Assessment System).
Making new energy solutions marketable
The IEC provides the large majority of International technical Standards for the safe, reliable and efficient generation and transmission of electric energy from traditional and all renewable energy sources. The share of renewable sources in energy generation is forecast to reach nearly a third of total generation by 2035. IEC work provides the globally relevant solid technical foundation to make new energy solutions broadly marketable. It helps increase the reliability and affordability of new technologies, and enables performance comparisons with existing technologies.
The IEC remains committed to advancing International Standards for energy efficiency and renewable energy, in close consultation with policymakers, as part of its efforts to provide solutions to the global energy challenge.
A basis for legislation and cooperation
International standards provide the technical frameworks, metrics and specifications regulators can refer to in their legislation.
International standards can also help regulators to provide common platforms to allow many different players, who are in competition, to work together on a same goal. They help promote fair competition and provide a level playing field so that national infrastructures can be built in time and stay relevant for longer.

VooDoo BBQ & Grill was born on Mardi Gras day in 2002 right on St. Charles Avenue in the heart of New Orleans. It was standing-room only, filled with overwhelming crowds of hungry parade-goers. People loved our New Orleans-style BBQ so much we had to hustle through the streets carrying coolers packed with our slow-smoked creations to feed the masses and keep the party goin'!
It was a crazy way to start a restaurant, and it's been a party ever since. Our restaurant began in the New Orleans area, grew into Baton Rouge and beyond. When you walk into any VooDoo BBQ & Grill, you'll experience the same kind of fun, laid-back atmosphere that you'd find at any Southern table. It's like a mini vacation to New Orleans. You're our guest, so relax and prepare to experience great food, drinks, music, and the soul of New Orleans—a city where we live to eat.
Our founders met in college and discovered they shared a passion for food, fun, and great BBQ. Together, they created a new category: New Orleans-style BBQ. It's a fusion of all the best that BBQ has to offer. VooDoo BBQ & Grill brings together your favorite BBQ styles and kicks them up a notch with Caribbean, Cajun, and Creole spices.
Our meats are dry-rubbed with amazing Cajun spices and slow-smoked to perfection with oak and pecan—no swimming in sauce. Want an extra kick? We've created three unique BBQ sauces made with Louisiana ingredients. Then we put on the homemade signature sides and pour you a sweet tea or Louisiana's famous Abita Beer, each one with a decidedly Southern drawl. Taste the magic of VooDoo BBQ & Grill.
VooDoo BBQ & Grill is proud to be a good neighbor and support our community. We especially love getting involved with charities and activities that encourage kids of all income levels and abilities to become more physically active.

When you do good things, people notice. Voodoo BBQ & Grill is pleased to share some of the honors we've received over the years.
The pink color is the "smoke ring." This is an indication of true slow-smoked BBQ. It's what gives our meats their distinct flavors. Even with a pink ring, our meats are fully cooked, always.
We were born out of the love of the great city of New Orleans. We chose the name "VooDoo BBQ" because it's easily remembered, hard to forget, and is a novelty for New Orleans visitors and locals alike.
Like parts of the city itself, it's something new built on a very old foundation. BBQ, or meat slow-cooked over flame or hot coals, has been around as long as people have. Virtually every culture has some version of it, whether they call it "barbecue" or not. From pulled, chopped, and sliced pork in the Carolinas to Memphis-style ribs to barbecue brisket in Texas.
New Orleans-style BBQ builds on all of these traditions with flavors, accents, and complementary side dishes that inject the life and flair of the Crescent City into every meal. For instance, our St. Louis-style ribs are perfectly seasoned with a dry rub that contains hints of the Caribbean—a strong influence in New Orleans. All of our meats are served naked (without sauce) with the option of adding any combination of our Mojo, Cane Vinegar, or Mango Crystal Sauces—the last flavored with Louisiana's legendary Crystal Hot Sauce. Our Rattlesnake Beans are spicy with a hint of smoke. All of this is New Orleans-style BBQ and you can top off a meal at VooDoo BBQ & Grill with our White Chocolate Bread Pudding—a true New Orleans treat.
"New Orleans-style" has a flair and flavor that turns a visit to a VooDoo BBQ & Grill into an experience. That's why we've designed our stores to incorporate Crescent City touches, like lanterns, murals, and ornate trim that resembles the wrought iron railings found in the French Quarter. It's why we look not just for competence and drive in our employees, but a sense of fun and personality that can bring smiles to our guests' faces. We want each trip to a VooDoo BBQ & Grill to be like a mini-New Orleans vacation, a time when you can loosen your tie (if you're wearing one), and laissez les bon temps rouler—let the good times roll!

I would recommend waiting to see what
by orlbuckeye - 12/6/12 7:33 AM
In Reply to: What Windows tablet would you recommend me to buy? by gMima
tablets are released in the future (after the Surface Pro). Right now the Windows 8 tablets are with the Atom processor. Once the Surface Pro is out the other vendors will probably release their Windows 8 tablets with the i5 or i3 processors.
As Bob says the RT will only run the windows store apps (Ipad only runs the Itunes apps and Android runs the Google Store (names Play store apps) (amazon does it a small Android store). I was looking at the same thing but decided to get a laptop with Windows 8 and an i3 processor that can run older apps and the new apps.
The RT does have some advantages over the Pro
Because of RT arm processor over (pro) intel
1. Longer battery life
2. More compact case
3. lighter

Customer Reviews of New Zenex ZN-EP5498C Silver Wooden iPod/MP3 Earbuds w/3 Eartips + Case
Nice earbuds...10/23/2012
Good sound & prompt shipping. Good deal!
Great value for what I paid12/23/2011
These may not be the best earphones money can buy, but for the $9.99 I paid, I think they sound fantastic. The other reviewers are absolutely right - what a huge difference it made changing to the medium ear tips! Much deeper and richer bass, although not quite as comfortable as the smaller tips were. I'm listening to Seether right now and it sounds great.
Excellent vocals and high frequencies7/29/2011
As the other reviewer correctly points out, these earbuds come with the smallest rubber eartips which produce very weak (but accurate) bass. Switching to the medium rubber eartips creates stronger bass, but still weaker than other earbuds I own. I also bought these on sale and consider them to be a great value. They are not the best or most comfortable earbuds I own, but certainly have an impressive sound for the money.
Wooden Ear-Buds?!?!7/28/2011
When I first got these, I thought they sounded terrible. They had absolutely no bass. But I realized that they came with the smallest sized ear buds installed when I got them, they were too small for my ears. I installed the middle sized earbuds and the bass almost magically appeared. I think these are some of the best sounded buds I have bought yet to date. I bought them when they were on sale for $10, an added bonus. I think they were worth it.

Library Journal
Widely praised by leading Italian chefs and including a foreword by Mario Batali, this A-to-Z guide to Italian food and culture includes more than 900 articles on everything from medieval cookbooks and Italian food in Renaissance painting to the latest cooking methods and regional delicacies. The content is engaging and appetizing and is equally enthralling whether discussing history or flavor, as it provides answers to questions great and small about all things Italian. The book is organized alphabetically, but its content is also accessible by subject, which include art and culture; baked goods; biographies; cheese and milk products; culinary terms; drinks and beverages; fish and seafood; fruits, vegetables, and nuts; herbs, spices, and condiments; history and society; meat and meat products; pasta and rice; prepared food and dishes; preparing, serving, and eating; regional cuisine; and sweets and confectionary. While photos are scattered throughout, more care could have been given to the book's visual presentation with the inclusion of additional images as well as sidebars, favorite recipes, and perhaps a color insert. Nevertheless, the book will delight readers and meets its goal of providing browsing pleasure. The author clearly shares her passion for food, having written many books on food and art, including Renaissance Recipesand A Feast for the Eyes.

Identity theft is called the crime of low risk, high reward.
Arizona ranks second in the nation in the number of identity-theft cases, according to the Federal Trade Commission.
This week, Scottsdale police hosted more than 100 Arizona law-enforcement officials at a two-day training sponsored by FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Association and LifeLock Inc., the Tempe company that promises consumers identity protection.
"We're training cops in the methods used to steal identities and the investigative techniques to use," said Dean Crisp, an instructor with FBI-LEEDA. "Identity theft is an ever-evolving crime."
The training was timed to coincide with Gov. Jan Brewer's declaration of Aug. 16-20 as Identity Theft Awareness week. The FTC received 31,141 complaints of identity theft and identity fraud in the state in 2009, according to the Governor's Office.
Topics included learning what type of information to include when writing a search warrant, what to look for at crime scenes and what type of forensic searches to perform on computers, said Tom Stone, FBI-LEEDA executive director.
Many times it's difficult to keep up with all the ways cyber-crooks steal personal information.
The LifeLock-FBI LEEDA partnership is trying to create a nationwide network where law-enforcement agencies can share identity-theft information, said Mike Prusinski of LifeLock.
Since 2008, there have been about 40 trainings sessions and more than 3,000 law-enforcement officials trained.
Justin Feffer, an instructor with FBI-LEEDA, held up a stack of white cards with magnetic strips and a card reader. Feffer said the Arizona trend of installing card skimmers at gas pumps is also happening in California.
"One key opens 90 percent of gas pumps," Feffer said.
The crooks open the pump, install the card skimmer and lock the pump, he said. Every time someone swipes a credit or ATM card, the information goes to the real machine and the parasite skimmer. From there, the crook can return to the pump and retrieve the device or use a Bluetooth device to transmit the information through a memory chip.
"Identity theft is a $52 billion problem," Prusinski said.
And identity thieves are difficult to catch and eventually prosecute, Stone said.

Downtown's W hotel now owned by lender
The number of San Diego hotels in default rose from 29 at the end of the year to 40 as of June 30, Atlas Hospitality reported. The most high-profile among those is the Sè San Diego, an upscale boutique hotel that fell into default earlier this year on the original $67.8 million loan. Last month, the owner of the 184-room property filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, two years after opening in the midst of an unraveling economy.
"Lenders are reluctant to sell at market prices," Reay said. "We have over 100 hotels (in California) foreclosed on and only 12 that have been resold to new investors, and there's a huge backlog of defaults. Lenders are doing whatever they can to not take the hotel back. They want to see if the market can rebound quickly enough to bail them out."
The rapid depreciation of hotel properties was clearly what motived Sunstone to ultimately walk away from what at one time had been downtown San Diego's swankiest boutique hotel. At the time Sunstone made its announcement, company president Al Buser talked about the toll the recession had taken on the lodging industry.
"When you see how low people are dropping prices and how big the debt is and how much additional money we'd have to commit to debt service, it is clear this hotel will not be worth the principal amount of its debt for the foreseeable future," he said.
W General Manager Stan Kaminski noted that Sunstone at one time had planned a $6.5 million renovation of the hotel but put it off last year after defaulting on its loan.
"Now we're hopeful the new owners will come in and reopen the remodeling plan we once had," Kaminski said.

Thanks for the unwich jimmy but still really missing the sprouts!
@chaoticlibra yep they do lettuce wraps, it's great! And they have avocado!
I've been solemnly boycotting them until they get sprouts again :/
@cameronsavage I was too but I caved today!
Lucky! Looks good. I'd miss sprouts too.
That is awesome!

Since these guys all started talking about their adventures and the dangers of starting off in surf, I''ll stick to your question:
The basic class was plenty for you to go out and practice the principles you''ve learned. What you need now is not another class; it''s hours with your hand on the tiller. Experience will be your best teacher now.
You show good sense in wanting to stay within sight (swimming distance, among other traffic who may be able to assist you, etc.) of land. That''s very prudent. The biggest variable in open water in a small daysailer will be tide, swell size, surface chop (the little wind-waves), and of course windspeed (oh, and motor-boaters: your biggest hazard). Try to choose a day with relatively flat water and light-to-moderate wind, so that you can concentrate on honing your skill and not battling for survival during a very wet ride. What you want now is a reasonable window for skill development.
In a small daysailor like that, I''d make sure I was wearing at least a partial wetsuit: hypothermia will set in quickly, causing you to shake, tire quickly, and a fog over your judgment.
You must assume that you WILL tip it over repeatedly, you WILL be soaked to the bone, and that you WILL lose everything overboard that you haven''t strapped down. But that''s the fun of learning. Go for it! And when you get tired of getting so wet, you can buy a trailer-sailer with a swing-keel. . .
Have fun.

Week 24 was potentially the biggest round of football in the A-League this season.
On Friday night we saw Adelaide United set two new records for most goals scored in a match and biggest winning margin when they whipped the hapless North Queensland Fury 8-1 at Hindmarsh Stadium.
Hat-tricks from Marcos Flores and Sergio van Dijk did the brunt of the damage for the Reds who were in unstoppable form as the joined league leaders Brisbane Roar on 48 goals for the season – the most in the competition.
Saturday night saw the third installment of the Melbourne derby between the Victory and the Heart. With a head-to-head figure of one win apiece, pride was again on the line as the Victory hosted their less established rivals at Etihad Stadium in front of more than 30,000 people.
They promptly swept to a two-nil lead thanks to first-half goals from Danny Allsopp and Carlos Hernandez but Heart veteran John Aloisi enabled his side to record a 2-2 draw with a goal either side of the break.
The thrilling match was marred when Victory skipper Kevin Muscat was sent off in the 81st minute for a horror challenge on Heart youngster Adrian Zahra with both players facing a lengthy stint on the sideline – Zahra through injury and Muscat possibly with a possible long suspension.
The goals continued to flow on Saturday night with Gold Coast United crushing Newcastle Jets 5-1 at Skilled Park.
Bruce Djite's treble helped Miron Bleiberg's men create an eight-point gap between them and fifth-placed Melbourne Victory whilst the Jets' finals hopes slightly faded away.
Sunday gave us even more goals, firstly with Wellington Phoenix brushing Perth Glory aside 4-0 at Westpac Stadium.
The Phoenix put themselves in with a strong finals chance thanks to goals from Nick Ward, Dylan Macallister, Vince Lia and Chris Greenacre as the Glory pretty much stitched up a bottom-two finish in what has been a disaster season.
And finally, the goal tally swept to 27 for the weekend when Central Coast Mariners came from two goals down to force a 2-2 draw with Sydney FC in Gosford.
Sky Blues teenager Dimtri Petratos gave his side a solid half-time lead before the brave Mariners fought back to retain second spot on the table in a weekend were the fans came out in droves, with four of the five matches attracting at least 10,000 supporters.

Jay Cohen is a physician whose mantra seems to be, "Enough is enough."
He's a Del Mar psychiatrist who also is experienced in family practice. He believes that a major problem in medicine today is the overmedication of patients with doses of prescription drugs given in excess of what is required for their well-being.
He has lectured, written extensively and addressed a Food and Drug Administration conference to spread the message that too much of a good thing can result in serious health problems or even death.
The man doesn't hesitate to scatter pigeons perched in the rafters of the medical edifice.
For stark, eyebrow-raising evidence, he says research he uncovered estimates that 100,000 deaths and 2 million hospitalizations occur annually from so-called standard doses of medication.
Cohen is 66 and has been in practice since 1972. He remembers that when Prozac was first released, it was available only in a 20 mg capsule, which could not easily be divided. However, he later found a study, done by the manufacturer before the drug was approved, that 54 percent of patients needed only 5 mg. That told him that over half the patients received four times the dosage they needed.
"No wonder some of them encountered severe adverse effects," he concludes.
"Doctors are trained to follow the drug company guidelines, and they assume that drug companies have done thorough research into dosage. This is not always the case. In fact, drug companies sometimes choose higher doses in order to ensure approval by the FDA.
"When drug companies recommend the same dosages to Nancy Reagan and Shaquille O'Neil, you know something is wrong," he says.
When asked for examples, Cohen can empty a heavy bag: When the "hot flash" menopausal drug Premarin was first offered, it was promoted as a "natural hormone," but, Cohen says, it was natural only to horses. He opens an old Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR) to show that in 1997 the recommended daily dosage for women was 1.25 mg for hot flashes, though smaller dosages down to 0.3 mg were available and proven effective. After a storm of controversy attacked the drug, charging that it could lead to heart disease or breast cancer, it was almost withdrawn from the market.
Fast-forwarding 15 years, Cohen opens a current copy of PDR and turns to the page showing that today the recommended dosage for Premarin is only 0.3 mg — the same dosage that was available as the lowest dose 15 years ago.
He mentions another female drug: "The Pill." He says that when the birth-control drug first came on the market in the '60s, it was 800 percent stronger than today and caused many deaths.
He believes that the anti-inflammatory drugs Vioxx and Bextra, which were removed from the market in 2004 and 2005, might have been saved if offered at a lower dosage at which they showed good results in trials.
Cohen shies away from directly blaming the FDA, the drug companies or physicians. However, the arguments he puts forth point an unwavering finger at all three, and to a limited degree, patients themselves. He himself acknowledges, "Every aspect of health care is at fault."

Aug 4 1993
Michael, Evan, Jordie and Pellicano have a meeting at the Westwood Marquis. Later guess who's version makes it way into the media.
Aug 23 1993
Police raid Neverland, media don't know why.Pellicano was out of the country, he instructs Michael's driver to pick up a case from a hideout Michael had, and take the case to Pellicano's apartment.
Aug 24 1993
Pellicano tells the media he has been investigating for 2½ months* an attempted extortion, (by the mother)* alongside the police and the molestation claims were part of the extortion.
Few days later
The LA Times reveals no claims of extortion had been lodged with the Police.
The police had been supplied with the tapes of the calls to Evan and declare they could find no evidence of extortion.
Sep 01 1933
At a press conference Pellicano plays part of the phone calls to Evan Chandler, to demonstrate what a bad man he is...but no extortion.
The LA Police produced a transcript of the phone calls (over 200 pages?). In October 1994 Mary Fischer wrote a defence of Michael, in it she quoted bits of the Evan telephone calls.
Mary somehow managed to create a quote which began with a line on page 134 of the Police transcript followed by a line from page 206 ending with a line from page 27, she's a genius. Or was she using an edited version supplied by Pellicano.
*At about the time Evan was raising concerns with his wife, Pellicano a private detective began negotiating the record deal with Wade Robson's mother.

My Favorite New Reward Program Shopkick!
I've been aware of Shopkick for awhile but I had just never gave it a try until early this week. I figured I'd try for a few days and see if it really worked out and if not I'd just delete the app. But I quickly got hooked and built up almost $10 this black Friday weekend by walking into stores and scanning some items.
You can also build up points actually buying products with a linked card but I never actually linked my card and I haven't bought anything they suggested but I still built up reward points called "kicks" quicker then I expected.
My favorite way to get points is by just walking in the store. You open the app, walk in and it makes a fun little sound and gives you points.
I also scan product upc codes for points. Usually for this I hand the phone to my daughters who do that for me. They think it's fun and it keeps them busy while we shop so they don't bicker or act up when like they normally do when they get bored.
I like the app. I think it's worth the minimal effort and next time I go to Target I'll get $10 off my bill when I use my kicks! Grab your own Shopkick app HERE.

MONAT Rejueniqe Oil Intensive
iFabbo recently sent me MONAT Rejueniqe Oil Intensive to try out. I've tried out hair oils many times but this one was unique because the key ingredient Abyssinian Oil creates a molecular-structured product that mimics the body's own natural oils to visibly repair and replenish with long term age prevention benefits. It also had a few other features I loved like it absorbs quickly, it seals coats, and smooths the hair cuticle, and it helps boost shine.

What Was In my Walmart Fall 2014 $5 Beauty Box (Unboxing Pictures & Review)
I consider myself semi-retired from monthly subscription boxes. I used to subscribe to several but over the past year or so I dropped them one by one in an effort to cut costs and to cut back on my massive collection of unused products. I had cut back to my two favorites ipsy and Love with Food. I had no plans of starting up a 3rd but I just couldn't pass it up when I learned that Walmart was offering a beauty box each season for $5 shipped.

Dermalogica Age Smart Dynamic Skin Recovery
When iFabbo gave me the opportunity to review Dermalogica Age Smart Dynamic Skin Recovery I grabbed the chance because this is a product I love and have used on my own several times prior to this opportunity. It is a daily moisturizer with a formula that accelerates the products SPF from 30 to 50 while using 50% less chemical sunscreen agents through something they call Oleosomes. Oleosomes are naturally occurring spheres of emollient molecules that are released over time to provide maximum and longer lasting skin benefits and sun protection.

My September 2014 Love With Food Box
(My September box minus one piece of candy that I ate right away)
I joined Love With Food several months ago because they had a good deal at the time to get the first box really cheap. I had planned to cancel after I got that first box but I liked it so much I kept it going. I love getting surprise snacks in my mailbox every month. It's like a spacial little gift to myself (that my kiddos always steal parts of). I like the service so much that I have dropped most of my beauty box subscriptions and next month I'll be starting the deluxe Love With Food plan so I get double the snacks.
Another plus with this service is that every box you get, they donate a meal to a hungry child. If you like these types of boxes this service is worth checking out in my opinion. You can everything I got this month in the picture above and learn more about the service HERE.

Beautisol Exscrub Me? Citrus Face Exfoliant Review

It's easy to use, washes away clean, and leaves my face feeling cleaner then when washed with basic soaps and washes. If you want to try it yourself grab some HERE!

PROSPERITY — Recent Mid-Carolina High School graduate Ashlyn Barton was named the S.C. Youth of the Year by the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. Barton was selected among 15 of her peers for the honor.
Being named Youth of the Year is the highest honor a Boys and Girls Club member can receive. As the new representative for all of the Boys and Girls Clubs in South Carolina, Barton received a $1,000 college scholarship from Tupperware Brands Corporation.
As BGCA's premier youth recognition program, Youth of the Year recognizes outstanding contributions to a member's family, school, community and Boys and Girls Clubs, as well as overcoming personal challenges and obstacles. The recognition program encourages club members to reach their full potential by achieving academic success, leading healthy lifestyles and contributing to their communities.
Barton said she feels honored to have the title.
"There is so much that that title holds as far as responsibilities and opportunities. Being the SC Youth of the Year, I feel even more driven to set a positive example for all of the younger people," Barton said. "I am the proof that great futures start at the Boys and Girls Club. I hope that parents and juveniles take advantage of all the amazing things the Boys & Girls Club has to offer. This is the highest award a BGC member can be given and it is highly beneficial."
Barton is a member of BGCA's Mid Carolina Middle School site and has taken on an active role in every club related activity available. Creating award winning posters for athletic events, encouraging members to read more by donating books and receiving a pie to the face in support of the club's food drive barely scratch the surface of her commitment to club members' success.
Barton also provides assistance to members when they need help with homework or other activities. She realizes that club members look up to her as an older sister because of their proximity in age.
Barton's service to her community extends beyond Boys and Girls Clubs of the Midlands. A yearly volunteer for the Special Olympics, Barton has also collected children's books for her local elementary schools, bought Angel Tree gifts for a child and participated in Relay for Life. She also has a strong connection with her local animal shelter and has not only volunteered and raised money for them, but has fostered more than 20 dogs and adopted two.
As a senior at Mid-Carolina High School, Barton was enrolled in Advanced Placement and Honors classes, and was a dual-enrolled student at Piedmont Technical College. She has received numerous awards for both her GPA and artwork throughout her high school career.
Barton has been a member of the Art Club, Spanish Club, Student Council, BETA club, drama club and chorus. In her eleventh grade year Barton was instrumental in creating Mid-Carolina High's first Book Club.
Barton plans to attend Coastal Carolina University in the fall to major in marine science. Attending college has been a goal of Barton's since she was a child. She will be the first in her family to attend college.
"I plan to be involved with the club(s) nearest to my college by working there and putting all my effort into bettering the lives I influence on a daily basis. I will be constantly involved in community service, which is a big aspect in the Boys and Girls Club. I plan to give back to the club and represent it will," Barton said. "I will continue on signing petitions, promoting suicide awareness, walking marathons and many other activities I am involved in currently."
Barton recently went to Atlanta to celebrate her new honor.
"It was nothing like a competition. I made so many new friends, met so many people, and experienced so many new things, that was the true award in my eyes. The opportunity to just experience all that was truly rewarding," Barton said.
Barton sees the Boys and Girls Club more as a second family. She said they truly care about each member and strive to encourage all members to be the best they can be at everything they do.

They've made all this possible with their sacrifice and support. And I hope they can enjoy this moment and this process as much as I am.
This campaign, this effort, has been a joyous journey, because it is clear to me from the Jersey shore to the highlands, across New Jersey our people want a better world. They want a brighter future, a just and safe community. Make no mistake, the spirit of community is alive and well in New Jersey.
Another thing — and this is important. This campaign has always been about a purpose, a purpose greater than personal recognition, power or special interests.
This effort has been about the joy of making sure that we serve our children; to make sure that they have an education that lifts them up in life; that they have quality health care. I will fight for those things in the United States Senate.
This effort has been a joyous journey because its purpose is to serve our seniors, our veterans, our greatest generation, who has given us the opportunity of this great prosperity in America.
And this journey has been joyous because its purpose is to demand of America inclusion for everyone; an America where every person has access at the American promise, just like my family and I have had. We need to fight for that.
On this score, we need to develop a more perfect union.
Finally, this campaign has been a joyous journey because in my heart, this is only the beginning. We are just entering the fray. This is the beginning, not the end. People and purpose will be the hallmarks of my service in the United States Senate, the focus of every day of my six-year term. To each New Jersey citizen I say, "Hold me accountable to that pledge."
Now understanding the hour is late. We've had a little to-ing and fro-ing going on tonight, I want to say a few thanks. There really are too many people to thank. And I will not be able to get all of it out.
I want you to all know, from the bottom of my heart, I appreciate everything everyone has done. I know that no one does anything in life by themselves. They do it because they join hands. They lift each other up together. That's what this election has been about. That's what this process is about. And I want your help to make that happen in the next six years.
First of all, let me thank the voters of New Jersey. Again, I appreciate your confidence. I will not betray that confidence.
Next, I want you to know that the elected officials, many of them who are on the stage tonight, have made a terrific difference. Actually from the United —f rom President Clinton all the way down to the mayors of our towns and the council people, have reached out and made a difference.
I would be remiss, though, if I didn't single out two particular ones. First of all, Frank Lautenberg, who has been a great, great senator.
No one has worked harder, no one has given more, or no one has put New Jersey first more than Frank Lautenberg. And I look forward to working with him in the years ahead to fulfill the legacy that he has put in place.
Let me also thank Senator Torricelli, who is working down in Washington to make a great difference.
I look forward to being his partner. I look forward to being his friend and I know together we will deliver for the state of New Jersey.

Ortiz reiterates desire to stay, says he'll give Sox chance to match - 0 Comments
David Ortiz has sung the same tune for the last five years, and he won't stop just because he's a free agent: he wants to return to the Red Sox.
In fact, Ortiz said today, if he receives an offer he's considering accepting, he will give the Red Sox a chance to counter it no matter what.
"Of course," he said. "You know that. The Red Sox will always be the first option."

Latest Binary star Stories
Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have uncovered surprising new clues about a hefty, rapidly aging star whose behavior has never been seen before in our Milky Way galaxy. Astronomers have nicknamed it 'Nasty 1', a play on its catalog name of NaSt1.
Unlike most types of stars, which are just as likely as not to have companions and be part of a binary system, an ancient type of variable stars known as RR Lyrae stars seemed to always live out their lives on their own – something that has long puzzles astronomers.
There's a new hope for Star Wars fans dreaming of a rocky planet that orbits a binary star like Luke Skywalker's homeworld of Tatooine: astrophysicists from the University of Utah and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory say that such a planet could theoretically exist.
Science fiction fans might remember the dual-star sunset of the first Star Wars film, and while that might seem a little exotic, NASA has reported the discovery of a planet in four-star system called 30 Ari, the second such system ever found.
Not much escapes the sight of the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile, but astronomers using the powerful four-telescope array have been unable to pinpoint the location of a brown dwarf star believed to be orbiting a nearby binary star system.
Catching the formation of a single star is a tough thing to do, and yet a large team of international astronomers has announced the discovery of four stars all forming in the same system.
Scientists using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in Chile have observed a very exciting phenomenon — the exchange of dust and gas in a multiple-star system.
New modeling studies from Carnegie's Alan Boss demonstrate that most of the stars we see were formed when unstable clusters of newly formed protostars broke up.
A team led by Gastón Folatelli at the Kavli IPMU, the University of Tokyo, has found evidence of a hot binary companion star to a yellow supergiant star, which had become a bright supernova.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered a companion star to a rare type of supernova.

Lyra Constellation -- Lyra (the lyre) is a prominent, although fairly small, northern constellation. It was one of Ptolemy's 48 constellations, and also counts among the modern 88 constellations. Its brightest star is Vega (Alpha Lyrae), which together with Altair (Alpha Aquilae) and Deneb (Alpha Cygni) forms the large asterism known as the Summer Triangle. Beta Lyr is a half separated (i.e. one of the stars reached its Rochevolume) eclipsing binary of a cream-white colour. The...
X-ray Burster -- X-ray bursters are a class of binary stars which are luminous in X-rays. They contain a neutron star and a low-mass companion star. The companion fills its Roche lobe and therefore the neutron star is accreting matter from it. The inflowing gas forms an accretion disk around the neutron star. Sometimes X-ray bursters show a sudden increase in their X-ray luminosity, called X-ray burst. All properties of the X-ray bursts can be explained assuming that they result from...
X-ray Binaries -- X-ray binaries are a class of binary stars that are very luminous in X-rays. The X-rays are produced by matter falling from one component (usually a relatively normal star) to the other component, which is a neutron star or a black hole. The infalling matter releases gravitational potential energy, up to several tens of per cent of its rest mass as X-rays. (Hydrogen fusion releases about 0.7 per cent of rest mass) X-ray binaries are further subdivided into...
Variable Star -- Most stars are of nearly constant luminosity. Our own Sun is a good example which goes through practically no measurable variation in brightness. There are, however, stars which do vary in brightness, called variable stars. They fall into two main groups: Intrinsic variables These are stars which have intrinsic variations in brightness, that is the star itself gets brighter and dimmer. There are many types of intrinsic variables, the main types being: -- Mira...
Triple Star -- A triple star system consists of three gravitationally bound stars. The stars are in orbits around a common center of mass, usually so that two of the stars form a close binary star and the third is further away. This configuration is often called a hierarchical triple star. Multiple stars containing more than three stars can usually be decomposed to binaries and single stars that are in a hierachically bound system. ----- Click here to learn more on this...

An exciton is a bound state of an electron and an electron hole which are attracted to each other by the electrostatic Coulomb force. It is an electrically neutral quasiparticle that exists in insulators, semiconductors and in some liquids. The exciton is regarded as an elementary excitation of condensed matter that can transport energy without transporting net electric charge.[1]
An exciton can form when a photon is absorbed by a semiconductor.[2] This excites an electron from the valence band into the conduction band. In turn, this leaves behind a positively charged electron hole (an abstraction for the location from which an electron was moved). The electron in the conduction band is then effectively attracted to this localized hole by the repulsive Coulomb forces from large numbers of electrons surrounding the hole and excited electron. This attraction provides a stabilizing energy balance. Consequently, the exciton has slightly less energy than the unbound electron and hole. The wavefunction of the bound state is said to be hydrogenic, an exotic atom state akin to that of a hydrogen atom. However, the binding energy is much smaller and the particle's size much larger than a hydrogen atom. This is because of both the screening of the Coulomb force by other electrons in the semiconductor (i.e., its dielectric constant), and the small effective masses of the excited electron and hole. The recombination of the electron and hole, i.e. the decay of the exciton, is limited by resonance stabilization due to the overlap of the electron and hole wave functions, resulting in an extended lifetime for the exciton.
The electron and hole may have either parallel or anti-parallel spins. The spins are coupled by the exchange interaction, giving rise to exciton fine structure. In periodic lattices, the properties of an exciton show momentum (k-vector) dependence.
The concept of excitons was first proposed by Yakov Frenkel in 1931,[3] when he described the excitation of atoms in a lattice of insulators. He proposed that this excited state would be able to travel in a particle-like fashion through the lattice without the net transfer of charge.
Excitons may be treated in two limiting cases, depending on the properties of the material in question.
Frenkel excitons[edit]
In materials with a small dielectric constant, the Coulomb interaction between an electron and a hole may be strong and the excitons thus tend to be small, of the same order as the size of the unit cell. Molecular excitons may even be entirely located on the same molecule, as in fullerenes. This Frenkel exciton, named after Yakov Frenkel, has a typical binding energy on the order of 0.1 to 1 eV. Frenkel excitons are typically found in alkali halide crystals and in organic molecular crystals composed of aromatic molecules, such as anthracene and tetracene.
Wannier-Mott excitons[edit]
In semiconductors, the dielectric constant is generally large. Consequently, electric field screening tends to reduce the Coulomb interaction between electrons and holes. The result is a Wannier exciton,[4] which has a radius larger than the lattice spacing. As a result, the effect of the lattice potential can be incorporated into the effective masses of the electron and hole. Likewise, because of the lower masses and the screened Coulomb interaction, the binding energy is usually much less than that of a hydrogen atom, typically on the order of 0.01eV. This type of exciton was named for Gregory Wannier and Nevill Francis Mott. Wannier-Mott excitons are typically found in semiconductor crystals with small energy gaps and high dielectric constants, but have also been identified in liquids, such as liquid xenon.
In single-wall carbon nanotubes, excitons have both Wannier-Mott and Frenkel character. This is due to the nature of the Coulomb interaction between electrons and holes in one-dimension. The dielectric function of the nanotube itself is large enough to allow for the spatial extent of the wave function to extend over a few to several nanometers along the tube axis, while poor screening in the vacuum or dielectric environment outside of the nanotube allows for large (0.4 to 1.0eV) binding energies.
Often there is more than one band to choose from for the electron and the hole leading to different types of excitons in the same material. Even high-lying bands can be effective as femtosecond two-photon experiments have shown. At cryogenic temperatures, many higher excitonic levels can be observed approaching the edge of the band,[5] forming a series of spectral absorption lines that are in principle similar to hydrogen spectral series.
Charge-transfer excitons[edit]
|This section requires expansion. (December 2014)
An intermediate case between Frenkel and Wannier excitons, charge-transfer excitons (sometimes called simply CT excitons) occur when the electron and the hole occupy adjacent molecules.[6] They occur primarily in ionic crystals.[7] Unlike Frenkel and Wannier excitons they display a static electric dipole moment.[8]
Surface excitons[edit]
At surfaces it is possible for so called image states to occur, where the hole is inside the solid and the electron is in the vacuum. These electron-hole pairs can only move along the surface.
Atomic and molecular excitons[edit]
Alternatively, an exciton may be an excited state of an atom, ion, or molecule, the excitation wandering from one cell of the lattice to another.
When a molecule absorbs a quantum of energy that corresponds to a transition from one molecular orbital to another molecular orbital, the resulting electronic excited state is also properly described as an exciton. An electron is said to be found in the lowest unoccupied orbital and an electron hole in the highest occupied molecular orbital, and since they are found within the same molecular orbital manifold, the electron-hole state is said to be bound. Molecular excitons typically have characteristic lifetimes on the order of nanoseconds, after which the ground electronic state is restored and the molecule undergoes photon or phonon emission. Molecular excitons have several interesting properties, one of which is energy transfer (see Förster resonance energy transfer) whereby if a molecular exciton has proper energetic matching to a second molecule's spectral absorbance, then an exciton may transfer (hop) from one molecule to another. The process is strongly dependent on intermolecular distance between the species in solution, and so the process has found application in sensing and molecular rulers.
Excitons are the main mechanism for light emission in semiconductors at low temperature (when the characteristic thermal energy kT is less than the exciton binding energy), replacing the free electron-hole recombination at higher temperatures.
The existence of exciton states may be inferred from the absorption of light associated with their excitation. Typically, excitons are observed just below the band gap.
When excitons interact with photons a so-called polariton (also exciton-polariton) is formed. These excitons are sometimes referred to as dressed excitons.
Provided the interaction is attractive, an exciton can bind with other excitons to form a biexciton, analogous to a dihydrogen molecule. If a large density of excitons is created in a material, they can interact with one another to form an electron-hole liquid, a state observed in k-space indirect semiconductors.
Additionally, excitons are integer-spin particles obeying Bose statistics in the low-density limit. In some systems, where the interactions are repulsive, a Bose–Einstein condensed state is predicted to be the ground state. Exciton condensates have been seen in a double quantum well systems.[9]
Direct and Indirect[edit]
Normally, excitons in a semiconductor have a very short lifetime due to the close proximity of the electron and hole. However, by placing the electron and hole in spatially separated quantum wells with an insulating barrier layer in between so called 'indirect' excitons can be created. In contrast to ordinary (direct), these indirect excitons can have large spatial separation between the electron and hole, and thus possess a much longer lifetime. This is often used to cool excitons to very low temperatures in order to study Bose Einstein condensation (or rather it's 2 dimensional analog) [10]

Ravens return 2 INTs for TDs, beat Panthers 37-13
CHARLOTTE, N.C. In a surprisingly close game against a downtrodden team playing a journeyman quarterback, the Ravens waited until the end to display their trademark dominant defense.
It then took just two plays for Baltimore to end any hopes for a storybook day by little-known Brian St. Pierre.
Baltimore's defense returned consecutive interceptions of St. Pierre for touchdowns in the fourth quarter, Joe Flacco threw for 301 yards and a TD and the Ravens beat the Carolina Panthers 37-13 on Sunday.
The Ravens (7-3) recovered after a disheartening loss to Atlanta 10 days earlier by finally rattling Carolina's quarterback to break it open. With Baltimore leading 23-13, Ed Reed picked off St. Pierre, ran 19 yards, then pitched it to Dawan Landry, who went the remaining 23 yards for a touchdown.
On the next play, St. Pierre was intercepted by Ray Lewis, who rumbled 24 yards for a score.
It wiped out any chance of an improbable victory for St. Pierre, signed by Carolina (1-9) a little over a week ago. He threw an 88-yard TD pass to David Gettis early in the fourth quarter to get the Panthers within a touchdown.
Ray Rice rushed for 66 yards and a touchdown and Billy Cundiff kicked three field goals for the Ravens, including a 49-yarder with 5:55 left in a day of milestones for Baltimore.
T.J. Houshmandzadeh's 56-yard touchdown catch on the Ravens' second play from scrimmage was the 600th reception of his career. Derrick Mason became the 13th player in NFL history with 900 career catches in the third quarter. It was Reed's 50th career interception and the 30th for Lewis.
They needed it all to fend off the stubborn Panthers.
St. Pierre was 13 of 28 for 173 yards, but his two late interceptions sent Carolina to another loss. Mike Goodson rushed for 120 yards for the Panthers, his second straight 100-yard game after Carolina's top three running backs were sidelined with injuries.
St. Pierre, who just over a week ago was a stay-at-home dad, hadn't been in the NFL since the end of last season. He was given the starting job after Matt Moore (shoulder) and Jimmy Clausen (concussion) were sidelined in the past two weeks.
The 30-year-old St. Pierre, who played at Boston College and was a 2003 fifth-round pick by Pittsburgh, had thrown five passes in eight years as mostly a No. 3 QB with the Steelers, Ravens and Cardinals.
St. Pierre spent the first three quarters throwing only short swing passes and screens - even on third-and-long - and the Panthers had 39 yards passing entering the fourth quarter.
When he finally got a chance to air it out, it gave the Panthers brief hope.
St. Pierre 's long spiral down the left sideline was caught in stride by the rookie Gettis, who bolted 88 yards for a touchdown and the second-longest play in franchise history. It cut Baltimore's once 17-point lead to 20-13 with 14:44 left.
To put that into perspective, that one pass was more than seven times the yards passing St. Pierre had in his career (12 yards) coming into the game.

Cinematography: Ganesh Kumar
Hi, am writing from Singapore…. We hv bn watching Sun tv's Mahabharatam on wkly basis… firstly I wld like to congratulate & thank south indian chinnathirai for finally coming up wif tis project. Hardly we can and expect mythology or epics fr south india side. Most of the time such dramas comes from north india and they are well taken too.
I shd say we are ardent fan of mahabharatam epic. I hv read, listened n of cos watched … Chopra's mahabharata was excellent!!! Why am I saying this…???
My personal view or fdbk on Sun tv's mahabharatam is as follow… One of the obvious comment is, it is extremely slow moving. If u are saying it is detailed, I will not agree. Cos d very simple detail of lord Ganesha's condition to Sage Vyasa when reciting the story is not even shown. The one & a half tusk for Lord Vinayaka is also missing in the very 1st episode. (Sage Vyasa asked Ganesha to transcribe the poem as he dictated it to him. Ganesha agreed, but only on the condition that Vyasa recite the poem uninterruptedly, without pausing. The sage, in his turn, posed the condition that Ganesha would not only have to write, but would have to understand everything that he heard before writing it down. In this way, Vyasa might recuperate a bit from his continuous talking by simply reciting a difficult verse which Ganesha could not understand. The dictation began, but in the rush of writing Ganesha's feather pen broke. He broke off a tusk and used it as a pen so that the transcription could proceed without interruption, permitting him to keep his word.)
Instead too much time spent on unnecessary detail, such as the love blooming between King Shantanu n Ganga n followed by with his second wife Satyavathi, eyes meeting, the long conversation during the rejection by lover & parents of Amba, conversation between Satyavathi n her 2 daughter in laws, Ambika & Ambalika upon arrival… sigh…. NOT NECESSARY AT ALL!
If u want all age group to watch this mahabharatam to understand our valuable and precious Hindu epics & puranas… u must think from all angleS. Will our youngsters have such patience??? Even older ppl do not have the patience nowadays… cos we are living in a fast pace life and we have to modify our thinking too… When I watch "Neegalum Vellalam Oru Kodi" last season (Suriya's), I realised that our ppl were not aware of our epics… they stumbled whenever there is questions on it. Simply dont know abt Great Bhishma, Duryodhana, etc…My son is 15 yrs old, a Singaporean teenager. He enjoyed watching Chopra's mahabharata (tamil dubbed) with me and understood a lot about the epic, charactors, etc…. and he can answers those questions…. this is what we wanna achieve ultimately through our Sun tv mahabharatham serial. What made my young son to get hooked on to Chopra's mahabharatha…? it's the way it was taken, the great selection of artist for each character, etc..But he has been complaining about the pace of Sun tv's mahabharata. He is loosing his patience for the unwanted and non-critical details, he even commented that "he realise now why sun tv's mahabharatam can take more episodes than the hindi version…"
Even the Shivam drama is being enjoyed by all age group… look at their pace and story line. They too include love in between but different concept when comes to spiritual & epics…it should NEVER be like our soap serials pls!!! Next the artist or actors… some of them does not suit the characters & body build… Nitish Bharadwaj as Lord Krishna, Mukesh Khanna as Bhishma , Puneet Issaar as Duryodhana, etc were superb selections… hindi's artists selection was outstanding! They portrayed like the real characters. Our south india artist need to work out a little to achieve such built; at least to a certain extent. Similarly, Mohit Raina as Lord Shiva in Shivam serial… his body built and the way he potrays the character simply impacts the whole serial in a positive aspect. Even make us feel that Lord Shiva resembles him… all these things are important to make the serial successful & interesting and bring viewers closer to it. One more thing, the make-up for male artists seriously need to b reduced!!! Pls improve on it!
Hope the mahabharata team and crew look into this deeply to improve and make valuable changes with feedback received from viewers to enhance the quality of this major serial. Last but not least, we have been recording it n watching it later, cos I can simply fwd all those commercial (too many & long….!!) & unwanted boring scenes. On the whole, the duration of the serial is only abt 30 to 35 mins or so… not 1-hr!!!
From, YASOTHA (Singapore)

I didn't find a pasta to get excited about, though the penne with prosciutto outshone the linguini with pesto, green beans, and potatoes, which inspired a rare reach for the salt shaker (maybe I was put off by the potato-pasta combo?). I felt the same about the desserts, which included a chocolate mousse cake, panna cotta with raspberry sauce, and, the best of the three, vanilla ice cream with a shot of espresso poured on top and served in a footed glass bowl.
On one of my visits, Risotto's relaxed, homey ambiance turned a little too home-like when chef Lo Pinto conducted an extended phone conversation about the restaurant's financials out in the dining room, rapidly punching buttons on the POS machine and discussing sales tax increases. But overall, Risotto is a nice spot for enjoying Italian food and wine, and its low-key approach seems appropriate for the neighborhood.

So far, dinner service appears to be going well, attracting diners at both ends of the age spectrum, from an elderly man in a seersucker jacket to a diaper-swaddled baby plunked in the middle of the table. Yet during lunchtime, when Risotto's nearly empty dining room looked out on a vacant storefront and the liquidating inventory of Heavenly Soles, I couldn't help but wonder if Lyn-Lake is not quite ready for its post-road-construction restaurant revival. The neighborhood has certainly gentrified in the past few years, with the arrival of several new apartment-condo projects, but it's also still home to both the Country Bar and the VFW, among the diviest of the area's last remaining dive bars. As much as I like the gyros at Falafel King and the sweet-potato fries at Herkimer, I'd like to see the neighborhood support a diversity of dining options.
