A tweet from Tesla's chief signals that an unveiling at the end of April will bring the company's first foray beyond automobiles.
By offering financing and software-based energy assessments, SolarCity seeks to expand from solar to energy efficiency upgrades.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk isn't just planning one site for the company's future battery gigafactory--he's actually looking at two.
Targeting drivers of electric vehicles, the company will install ClipperCreek Level II chargers with solar option starting at $1,500.
Residential solar installer SolarCity acquires the residential business of GroSolar, in a move to offer its photovoltaic panel leasing in the Northeast.
SolarCity acquires Building Solutions, which will let it offer both solar panel installation and home energy-efficiency services.
Leases that cut the big upfront cost of solar-panel installation will become commonplace, argues SolarCity CEO. The company is betting on a high-tech, integrated approach to stand out.
A do-it-yourself kit for installing a handful of solar panels lets people dip their toes into grid-tied solar power.
Innovation in renewable energy today draws on years of research and experimentation in the quest to displace fossil fuels.
The SolarCity-led SolarStrong project, expected to be the largest residential solar project, installing rooftop solar panels at military bases, secures the $1 billion in financing it needs to go ahead.

Shanley took the match 7-2, but the eighth-seed Hi-Liners' EDC Regional Tournament play-in match against ninth-seed Wahpeton on Monday bears the most important outcome.
The match against Shanley, make no mistake, was an exhibition of Hi-Liner talent.
Dakota State beat North Star rival Valley City State 3-0 (25-17, 27-25, 25-18) Wednesday night at Graichen Gymnasium to earn their second NSAA conference win in as many tries and drop the Vikings to 0-2 in the conference and 6-11 overall.

Thrashing the Vikings, 98-77, in last year's Deputies Football Game was so glorious, so enthralling, that he's looking forward to crushing them again, 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 26 at Lokken Stadium.
Anderson became the Sheriffs' coach because he is the ultimate source of football expertise.
Valley City tennis (1-5 EDC, 1-6 overall) hosted Fargo Davies (1-5, 1-7) on Tuesday in a duel for the seventh seed in the Regional Tournament.
Davies took the match, 7-2, to draw even with Fargo North for the sixth spot.
"This loss means that regardless of the result of our last EDC match at Shanley on Thursday, we will be the 8th seed," Hi-Liner Tennis Head Coach Matt Nielson said. "Wahpeton is the 9th seed, and will come play us in a play-in match on Monday, with the winners moving onto regionals in Fargo that Thursday (Sept. 26) and the loser's team season ending."
Valley City State University will induct three individuals and three teams into the Viking Hall of Fame on Homecoming Weekend, Oct. 4-6.
Brent Lick, Robert Maresh and Terry Corwin are among the 2013 Hall of Fame Inductees, along with the 1958 football team and the 1981 and 1982 baseball teams.

The games count towards VCSU's record for the 2014 season.

work can be a small contribution to the existing technology or new finding .
The abstract shall be of the following format:
Title of the poster
Authors/ affiliation (presenting author to be underlined)
Brief of material and experimentation
General Guidelines for the poster presentation:
SIMPLICITY IS THE KEY. Keep to the point, and don't try to cover too many things. Present only enough data to support your conclusions. On the other hand, make sure that you present sufficient data to support your conclusions.
It should prepared in 36*48 sq. inch i.e., A1 size paper.
When you begin to make your poster, first create a list of the visuals that you would use if you were describing your project with only the visuals. Write the text after you have created the list of visuals.
Mat the components of the poster on separate pieces of colored poster board. This sets-off the text and illustrations from the white mounting board. Also, you can easily attach each component to the mounting board with push-pins or thumb-tacks.
Before the poster session, rehearse a brief summary of your project. Many viewers will be in a hurry and will want a quick "guided tour" of your poster. Don't be afraid to point out uncertainties in your work; this is where you may get useful feedback

Did you happen to catch the new Yo Gabba Gabba episode last week on Nick? It was called "New Friends" and starred Jack Black. This behind-the-scenes video will give you a taste of it:
If you missed it, you also need to go visit People.com and watch Black's Dancey Dance in its entirety. Trust me. You need to see it.
Don't forget to visit the Yo Gabba Gabba Store here at Ty's; the "New Friends" DVD (which of course includes Black's episode on the show) will be released tomorrow—April 7th, 2008—and will be available for purchase immediately. [Edited with an update: Here it is!]
Because, really, who's not going to want Jack Black's Dancey Dance in their video library?

UN mulls global environment organizationJeremy Hance
March 02, 2010
The idea was first seriously considered at Copenhagen in December, but has taken a step forward at an annual meeting of the United Nation Environment Program (UNEP) in Nusa Dua, Indonesia.
Executive director of UNEP, Achim Steiner, said that governments were showing support for the idea.
"The status quo ... is no longer an option. Within the broader reform options, the WEO concept is one of them," Steiner said according to Reuters. "Governments established a high-level ministerial group to continue this process with greater focus and also urgency. That group will convene within a few months."
Details as to whether or not the new organization would have the power to sanction nations for breaking international law—like the World Trade Organization—have not been decided.

Mind games
Park View kids excel at handling extraordinary pressure
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — When Bulla Graft digs into the batter's box and 20,000 pairs of eyes are staring at him and millions more are watching on TV and the pitcher winds up and throws a high hard one, only one thought flashes through his mind.
"Hit the ball," said the Chula Vista Park View second baseman. "You don't have time to think about anything else."
And that, says a child psychiatrist, is exactly what the Boys of Summer should be doing.
"Be in the moment," said Dr. Saul Levine, a professor of psychiatry at UC San Diego. "My impression of these kids is they're on a high, a good high. Not a drug-induced high. They're enjoying every moment of it."
Today at noon, the 12- and 13-year-old All-Stars face San Antonio, Texas, at Howard J. Lamade Stadium for the United States championship of the Little League World Series.
The players stand one victory from becoming only the third San Diego County team to play for the Little League World Series title.
Those closest to the players say one reason the team has advanced this far is because it has handled the mounting pressure.
"I definitely think we all feel a little bit of pressure," said pitcher/first baseman Luke Ramirez. "But I try to pretend it's just a regular game back at Chula Vista. I just try to have fun. If I do something wrong on TV, that's OK. My parents will still love me."
Said Graft, "You see the cameras. You see the thousands of people in the stands. But once the game starts, it's just baseball."
Ric Ramirez, Luke's father and the team's coach, said he spots telltale signs when players are nervous. One pitcher sweats profusely. Others give it away with facial expressions.
A fifth-grade teacher, Ramirez tries to calm the players with positive reinforcement and visualization.
"I'll say, 'Guys, we've got two outs. Our best pitcher's on the mound. Here's what we need. Let's get a ground ball, get out of the inning and go back to hitting,' " Ramirez said.
The coach uttered those exact words to Isaiah Armenta when he was in a jam six days ago against Peabody, Mass.
"The very next pitch was a ground ball and we're out of the inning," Ramirez said.
Sometimes the coaching staff lightens the mood with humor.
Before the team's 11-10 win Thursday against Warner Robins, Ga., Ramirez cracked up the players by dancing with the Little League mascot, Dugout.
Of his father's dance moves, Luke said, "He needs a little bit of work. But I guess I shouldn't talk. He could teach me a couple things."
For the 12 players, being in the moment means more than focusing on each pitch. Confined to their barracks-style dorms during the West Region tournament in San Bernardino when the daytime temperature was in the mid-90s, the team created a game called bed pong.
They broke into laughter when Kiko Garcia cracked a bat in half yesterday. When Jensen Peterson had to do 10 push-ups after temporarily misplacing a batting glove yesterday, players leaned down in front of his face and shouted the repetitions.

text: 2005 Childress Vineyards Cabernet Franc Reserve, North Carolina Ryan Reichert March 27, 2010 Tasting Notes 1 Comment This was given to me by a good friend when I lived back in Ohio. She and her family visited North Carolina, and she brought some wine back to try. This is the first from the Carolinas I've had the opportunity to try. While three-quarters of the bottle is Cab Franc, it also contains 20% Syrah and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium garnet red color. A medium intensity nose with red fruit, oak, and earthiness. On the palate it was clean, and relatively light to medium in structure, tannin, flavor, and acidity. Juicy red fruits. While I wouldn't call this a stellar bottle, it wasn't bad by any means. More importantly, it definitely has me intrigued to try other wines from the Eastern sea board!

Rating: 5.0
By Anne Cassidy, campaignlive.co.uk, Monday, 14 November 2011 04:00PM
BBH beat Wieden & Kennedy, the incumbent on GNM's ad business, and Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R to win the brief.
David Pemsel, the former ITV group marketing director, acted as a strategic consultant to oversee the process.
Recent high-profile TV campaigns including the animated "gola mondo" work to promote The Guardian and The Observer's coverage of the Fifa World Cup were created by Wieden & Kennedy.
The pitch follows a recent coverprice increase at The Guardian and the launch this week of its iPad edition.
Adam Freeman, the executive director, commercial, at GNM, said: "We're looking forward to working with BBH on an integrated brand and marketing strategy as we build on our growing international reputation as an open, independent and digital-first media organisation."
Jason Gonsalves, the managing partner at BBH, said: "At BBH we believe that creativity and a commitment to difference is what enables businesses to outperform competitors and redefine their categories. That's why we are so excited to be working with a pioneering organisation like the Guardian, to give voice to the brand at a time when it is evolving into a digitally powered, global business."

One Square Mile: Former State GOP chairman John Holmes on Why He Loves Bristol
By Ian Donnis
Rhode Island's tiny Republican Party has struggled for years to increase its presence in the General Assembly. Back in 1983, the GOP made its biggest gains in recent history by highlighting a Democratic boondoggle that cost taxpayers more than a million dollars. The man who engineered that Republican strategy, former state party chairman John Holmes, spent part of his childhood in Bristol. He returned to the town with his wife Kathy when they fell in love with a historic home near the center of town. Bristol is the focus on our series this week, One Square Mile. These days, at age 64, Holmes bears a resemblance to Santa Claus and he says the charms of living in Bristol can be like a perpetual holiday.
