GMZ Gets $14 Million for System That Turns Heat Into Electricity
Dec. 21 (Bloomberg) -- GMZ Energy Inc., a nanotechnology startup, received $14 million in venture capital funding to develop a system that converts heat into electricity.
Mitsui & Co.'s venture unit led the Series C funding round, Waltham, Massachusetts-based GMZ said today in a statement. Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, I2BF Global Ventures, Energy Technology Ventures and BP Plc unit BP Alternative Energy also participated.
GMZ uses nanotechnology to create thermoelectric materials, which generate a charge when each side of the material is a different temperature. The company plans to use the technology to convert waste heat from industrial processes, solar heating systems and cars into electricity.
"This investment will allow us to commercialize this breakthrough and expand our product line more quickly and efficiently," GMZ Chief Executive Officer Aaron Bent said in the statement.

North Grove School
North Grove School, 3 miles northwest of Sycamore, was built in 1878 by the Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Church as a parochial and Sunday school. Pupils of diverse ethnic backgrounds learned their lessons in Swedish, even several years after the DeKalb County public school system purchased the school in 1880. The Sycamore unit district acquired the school in 1949, and it continued as a school until 1952, when it was closed. The North Grove community continued to lovingly maintain the building and used it as a neighborhood social center for many years. Classroom in School Upon the closing of North Grove School in 1952, all furnishings were removed. However many furnishings from old Sycamore schools were still in storage in the 1960s when the Natural Resource Center in Genoa began using the site for special education programs. The school was refurbished and re-supplied using these furnishings, with additional period pieces being donated by private citizens. In 1970 North Grove School at 26745 Brickville Road (Map) was listed in the Illinois Directory of Historical Buildings. On May 24, 2012 the United States Department of the Interior placed the school and its outbuildings on the National Register of Historical Places. Today the school is still owned by the Sycamore School District but is leased to and lovingly cared for by the North Grove School Association, whose goal is to preserve this educational icon for future generations.

Sycamore Public Library
Although the Sycamore Public Library did not open its doors until 1892, we can trace its roots back to 1875 when a Chautauqua Scientific Circle was formed in Sycamore. Once members had completed the course, they established the Athena Literary Society in order to form a public library. Over the course of three years they raised $700 and asked city council to appropriate money for books and that the mayor appoint a board of directors. On July 12, 1892, the Sycamore Public Library opened in Hoyt and Rogers' Store, second floor, in the backroom. This building now is occupied by Marlyn's Majorettes. The City Council appropriated $800 to purchase books. The Athena Literary Society assisted with funding the library for the first two years. Miss Flora Jeannette Dow, a member of Athena, was the first librarian. In 1902, Andrew Carnegie offered the City of Sycamore $10,000 for the construction of a library, provided an acceptable site could be secured and that the Sycamore City Council would annually appropriate at least 10% of his donation for maintaining the building. Mr. Frederick B. Townsend donated the property where the library stands today. Miss Dow received the honor of placing the first trowel of mortar on the cornerstone on May 24, 1905. Over the next 90 years, several renovation and remodeling projects took place and then on October 14, 1995, a new era of growth began with the groundbreaking ceremony for the library expansion. Today we are looking at ways to serve the community's needs by providing the best possible services and programs available.

Milan Township One Room School House
The Milan Township District #83 Schoolhouse served as a center for learning from the turn of the century until 1942. In 1942, it was closed and left to deteriorate.

We wish to thank Dr. Eui-Kyung Shin, assistant professor in the Department of Teaching and Learning, for her guidance of Rebecca Edwards in the development of this curriculum.A Blackwell Museum staff member has created lesson plans for students in 1st through 8th grade that allow them to experience a school day in the early 1900s, depending on the teacher's preference. The one room school is currently unavailable for visits, but we hope to have it open again in the Spring of 2014. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at email@example.com.

Count it! Man, we are like Nate Silver for celeb political careers over here. We're not saying that we're 100% sure Ben Affleck will run for Massachusetts' soon-to-be vacant Senate seat as we predicted yesterday. We're just 100% sure in our hearts he will after finding out that he went ahead and dropped out of his upcoming crime rom-com Focus. According to Variety, "while the actor very much wanted to do the film, the timing just couldn't be worked out." Timing, eh? Clearing his schedule for some heavy-duty campaigning and freeing up Kristen Stewart to get a younger, more age-appropriate leading man? We'll vote yes on that!
In case you're flummoxed as to why Ben would be diving into politics, we should probably point out that he's actually in D.C. this week giving the House Armed Services Committee an "update on the evolving security situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo and implications for U.S. national security." You know, like a politician would do. According to Variety, Ben is also allegedly focused on writing, producing and starring in his coming movie Live By Night. Not according to IMDB, he's not, but we guess it's possible Affleck might stick with his incredibly successful directing campaign for a tiny bit longer. Just a tiny bit.

Bank of Thailand releases positive figures for April
Economic activity picked up in April, with manufacturing activity returning to positive growth driven by stronger production of motor vehicles and electrical appliances, according to the latest data from the Bank of Thailand.
Mathee Supapongse, the senior director for macroeconomic and monetary policy, said the manufacturing production index rose by 0.5 percent year-on-year in April, the first positive rise in five months.
The increase was attributed partly to low-base effects as well as a rise in production in the auto, petroleum, beer and electrical appliance sectors on strong domestic demand.
Agricultural output, meanwhile, fell by 0.3 percent year-on-year on lower rice production and base effects, although production of other products continued to rise. Farm income fell by 13.5 percent year-on-year on the back of a 13.2 percent decline in prices, attributed to last year's high base effects and lower rubber demand from China.
April exports totalled $16.6 billion, down by 3.5 percent year-on-year but a slight improvement from the 6.8 percent decline posted in March.
Imports rose by 9 percent year-on-year in in April to $17.4 billion, resulting in a trade deficit of $734 million for the month.
Investment in April picked up, with commercial car sales, imports of capital goods and cement sales all higher than in the previous month.
Consumption also rose, with passenger car sales up by 23.4 percent year-on-year compared with a 3.3 percent decline in March.
"The overall economy expanded well in April, with manufacturing production continuing to recover, as well as exports," said Mathee.
He said despite the euro-zone crisis, foreign manufacturing orders for the next three months continue to be robust, with exports projected to resume positive year-on-year growth near the end of the second quarter.

[Wait for It is our daily roundup of things to look forward to in pop culture. Yay future!]
One thing that you don't see enough is Parker Posey, but all of that could change. The indie-flick queen has been drafted to topline the Fox pilot Jezebel. Parker's set to play a children's book editor who finds out that she can't have children and then asks her younger sister to be her surrogate. Zany! Creator and executive producer Amy Sherman-Palladino (The Gilmore Girls) says she "can't believe" they nabbed Parker for the role. It is pretty amazing for an under-appreciated talent like Parker to be involved with such a project. On her less-than-gushing work flow, Parker herself told New York last summer, "I might as well be starting my career now, as far as Hollywood's concerned." Hopefully, Jezebel will be blessed with beginner's luck.
It may be another excuse to drum up some posthumous profits, but it's easy to put your cynicism aside for this one: Notorious B.I.G. is finally being immortalized with his first Greatest Hits package, due March 6, just three days before the 10th anniversary of Biggie's death. The 17-track set will include two previously unreleased songs ("Running Your Mouth" and "Want That Old Thing Back"), as well as the elusive single remix of "One More Chance," and the Junior M.A.F.I.A. classic that his first verse drove, "Get Money." That's enough to wash away the foul taste of the money-grubbing Duets: The Final Chapter for good. At the very least, it should tide us over until the inevitable A New Beginning.
Full tracklist: "Juicy," "Big Poppa," "Hypnotize," "One More Chance (Remix)," "Get Money," "Warning," "Dead Wrong," "Who Shot Ya," "Ten Crack Commandments," "Notorious Thugs," "Notorious B.I.G.," "Nasty Girl," "Unbelievable," "Niggaz Bleed," "Running Your Mouth," "Want That Old Thing Back," "F***in' You Tonite"

MEMPHIS — Neighborhood teenagers have rescued two children from a burning Memphis home.
According to The Commercial Appeal (http://bit.ly/18180Vq ), the rescued children and their mother were taken to hospitals to be treated for smoke inhalation Thursday, but none were critically injured.
Authorities said 15-year-old Banderas Walker and 19-year-old Michael Ellis pulled the children to safety through windows. Zachary Thomas ran inside to search for the children, unaware they had been pulled to safety. He was not seriously hurt.
Thomas said he was walking home when he saw his pregnant neighbor on her lawn, wearing a T-shirt and underwear. One of her sons was calling for help because the children were still inside.

What's in the pot?
Dinner tonight was boiled bacon, cabbage, potatoes and carrots all cooked in the same pot. No photo of the end result. The boiled bacon will go to work cold in sandwiches with some damson chutney. It was served with parsley sauce..........bought last year from Approved Food. All of us, have to not only watch the cost of food, but the cost of cooking the food! Gas and electricity is expensive and every penny counts. I cooked the bacon joint first, then added the cabbage, carrots and spud. Keep the potatoes whole or in large pieces or they'll fall to bits.
Now, over to you, tell every one what you cook in one pot to save energy.
Until tomorrow,
Love Froogs

DH and I love a boiled dinner. I've also made it with kielbasi or ham. YUM!!! I think it's better the next day because the flavors have a chance to "mingle" :)ReplyDelete
I have an old chip basket [leftover from a long-discarded deep fat fryer] which hooks neatly over one of my saucepans. I often cook potatoes in the bottom of the pan and other veg in the top - but using the same water - then its easy to hitch them out separately.ReplyDelete
My hi-dome pressure cooker will take a 'stacked' meal too.
Lenten Blessings x
we have lots of one pot meals. tonight we had salad so no cooking needed. was a lovely greek salad. yum.ReplyDelete
the slow cooker has to be king for this - making a casserole with meat and pulses and then adding potatoes(left large) and root veg makes it a meal all in one for about the price of using a light bulbReplyDelete
As well as a gammon joint I like to cook a piece of brisket with vegetables or a shoulder of lamb with a few bay leaves and a good sprinkle of oregano. We have the lamb the next day so all the solidified fat can be lifted off. I love meat cooked this way its so tender and makes wonderful gravy.ReplyDelete
We had a one pan dinner tonight, boiled pasta twists and a carton of pre made bolognaise sauce stirred in and a side salad.....stuffed!!
Karen xx
I'm all for one pot meals where possible! One of my favourites is spicy lemon & potato casserole which is basically potatoes, a red onion, a courgette, a carrot, a parsnip or turnip, lemon juice & spices and stock. Delicious.ReplyDelete

Mmmm. Yummo. I've been dreaming of cabbage boiled with bacon and potatoes. CherrieReplyDelete
I especially like cut-up cabbage, potato, sauteed onion and garlic, and herbs, with a can of tomatoes(or fresh if available) added, and all cooked together. Lovely with a piece of good bread to mop up the juices! It's always fun to come here and see what you're up to, and be inspired.ReplyDelete
during winter I always cook stews in my slowcooker, but now that the new wood heater has been put in I will be cooking on that! Wood will heat my home and cool my dinner too, how good is that!ReplyDelete
looks yum, we had the left vers from our gammon joint from saturday, still alittle left for sandwhiches tomorrowReplyDelete
My slow cooker cracked right thru last month.... I'm waiting on a freebie from a friend, should be getting that in about 2 weeks... I have had to make do with my stove top... not nearly as frugal.ReplyDelete
Tonight we had black-bean turkey wraps, using up some turkey I had cooked, shreded and frozen when I had cooked a whole turkey, a few weeks ago.
I made a pot of chicken taco soup, it started with chicken stock, canned tomatoes, red beans, a bit of salsa, some garlic, can of corn, pkg of taco seasoning, and of course left-over chicken, cooked in the crockpot. Served with sour cream, cheese and chips!ReplyDelete
I save energy by filling up my oven when it's on - doing as many cook-ahead things that I can. One of my favorite tricks is to bake beans and make rice pudding at the same time - a complete protein. Add a salad and there's dinner.ReplyDelete
Soup! Split pea soup for tonight with enough leftover for Wed dinner.ReplyDelete
Hot dog stew: an old Hungarian dish made with potatoes, garlic, paprika, sale and pepper Add a bit of water or broth and then, when the potatoes are almost done, plop some kosher hot dogs on top, cover and finish cooking. Delish!
We'll be having boiled bacon this week too. I found a mis-shape piece in a pack which was in along with the packs of cooking bacon. I usually pressure cook a joint of bacon to cut the cooking time and save the cooking stock to use in other soups/stews/casseroles.ReplyDelete
I love a boiled dinner. I'll often save up bits of ham and pop in the freezer. A handful tossed into the pot adds plenty of flavor without breaking the bank.ReplyDelete
I make a Nepalese bean soup/stew. I soak a selection of dried beans over night, then cook for an hour with whatever vegetables I've got handy - celery, onion, leek, carrots, a tablespoon of caraway seeds and a teaspoon of coriander seeds. I may fry the onion and spices before adding everything else and covering with water. It cooks in about an hour's simmering (I make 10 UK pints at a time). You can also add small amounts of diced chorizo if you want a different smokey flavour. Very popular at social gatherings (used it last weekend when we were felling trees!) and flavour develops over days. Freezes well.ReplyDelete

4 FM quick reads on HVAC
1. Questions to Ask When Renting HVAC Equipment
Today's tip comes from Jim Piper, contributing editor for Building Operating Management. When a decision has been made to rent HVAC equipment, facility managers should evaluate a range of factors when selecting a rental partner. Here are some questions to ask:
• What pre- and post-rental services are offered by the rental company?
• Are there additional charges for those services?
• Does the company arrange and pay for delivery and pickup of the equipment?
• Is engineering assistance available to help with connecting the rental equipment to the existing building systems?
• What type of maintenance support does the rental company offer, and what is its guaranteed response time?
• Is the equipment maintained by the rental company's staff or is it contracted out to a service company?
• Where is the inventory of rental equipment located? For small items, most companies stock equipment locally. For larger items, such as building chillers and cooling towers, equipment is typically stocked at regional distribution centers. Depending on where those centers are located, the time and cost to deliver equipment may be excessive.
• What is the rental company's policy regarding replacing and updating equipment? In the past, it was not uncommon to find that companies were willing to rent out practically any age equipment as long as it was still operating. As could be expected, the older the equipment, the less reliable it was. Today, most rental companies tend to keep equipment for a period of time well short of its rated service life. That approach reduces operating costs while allowing the companies to provide the most advanced equipment possible. For the facility manager, there is the added benefit of greater reliability.
Occupant Input Can Aid HVAC Retrofits
Today's tip comes from James Piper, contributing editor for Building Operating Management.
One of the goals of any HVAC retrofit is to improve the level of service. While FMs might understand the technical problems with existing HVAC systems, they will not fully comprehend the needs of building occupants unless they get them involved in the retrofit process. Occupants are the ones that understand their operations best. FMs will not know what system will best meet their needs - indeed, they might not even have a good understanding of what their HVAC needs are - but occupants will give FMs a clearer understanding of what the HVAC system will be expected to do.
Building occupants are also good sources of information on the performance of existing systems. Frequently, they are aware of problems that go unreported to building staff. That information is often crucial in setting priorities for HVAC system retrofits.
There's one other reason to get occupants involved: HVAC retrofits can be disruptive. They can require temporary relocation of occupants. Heating or cooling service may be disrupted for days or weeks. A schedule of moves and outages will have to be developed. Without the cooperation of occupants, retrofits can turn into scheduling nightmares.
Retrocommissioning Benefits Include IAQ, Longer Equipment Life
Today's topic is retrocommissioning.
Energy savings is a substantial and important byproduct of retrocommissioning, say experts, but it's not the only benefit. Indoor environmental quality is another big gainer. With controls functioning better, for example, occupants may have the benefit of more stable temperatures, which could cut hot and cold complaints. And the system is more likely to bring in the right amount of outside air.
Longer equipment life is another significant benefit. That's especially true of valves and dampers controlled by an actuator, which suffer excess wear and tear if they are being opened and closed more often than necessary.
Increasingly, another factor is likely to point to retrocommissioning: greenhouse gas emissions reduction. Lawrence Berkeley National Labs says that commissioning of all sorts, including retrocommissioning, can provide large reductions in carbon emissions. Commissioning, it says, is "arguably the single-most cost-effective strategy" for cutting greenhouse-gas emissions from buildings.
Water Treatment Programs Can Solve Three Problems
Today's tip comes from James Piper, contributing editor for Building Operating Management.
When HVAC water circulation systems go unattended, problems can develop rapidly. If those problems are not swiftly detected and corrected, they can cause downtime, reduce operating efficiency and shorten equipment life. Proper water treatment is warranted. Without proper water treatment, both open and closed systems are at risk for three types of problems: corrosion, scale and biological fouling.
Corrosion is the process of metal dissolution. Uncorrected, it can lead to the loss of system integrity.
Scale occurs when suspended solids precipitate out and become attached to interior surfaces of pipes and heat transfer equipment. Scale can significantly reduce the efficiency and capacity of the entire system.
Biological fouling occurs when bacteria, fungi and algae grow in the circulating water. Uncorrected, it can foul heat transfer surfaces, plug lines and contribute to corrosion.
Water treatment requires careful planning, a commitment of resources, proper training of maintenance personnel and a focus on safety. But a properly implemented program can reduce or eliminate the effects of corrosion, scale and biological fouling.

Vintage: 2009
Despite less than ideal climatic conditions, featuring storms which threatened an otherwise perfect year, most parts of California had an excellent year for viticulture. Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs were picked at optimum ripeness, and Californian white wine was just about as good as it could be. Surprises and overcoming difficulties summed up much of the United States' wine industry in 2009, and many of the results from Oregon, Washington State and all over California speak for themselves, with the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon grapes having developed healthy, thick skins and thus plenty of character and distinction. Elsewhere in the New World, South Africa had a very good year in 2009, and wineries across the cape of the African continent are proclaiming it a truly great vintage. In most of Europe, fine weather and punctual ripening periods produced some excellent wines, with many of the best coming out of France's Bordeaux and the surrounding regions. Merlot had an exceptionally good year in France, and wineries are proclaiming that the 2009 Merlot harvest was one of the best in living memory. Indeed, across most of France, ripening was relatively even, and red wine grapes such as Cabernet Franc, Syrah and others were reportedly highly characterful, with plenty of the required tannin levels with which to make high quality wines. Italy, too, had a very good 2009. Piedmont reported extremely favorable conditions throughout 2009, and their signature Nebbiolo grapes were more or less perfect when harvested, having benefited from the slight drop in temperature at the end of their ripening period. Veneto, too, had an enviable year, producing superb Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay wines in 2009.
Region: Fleurieu
Made up of five distinct provinces, thanks to the range of micro-climates the region offers, the Fleurieu Peninsula has proven to be one of the most exciting and unique of all Australia's wine regions. Displaying excellent Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon vines, amongst many others, Fleurieu's superb Mediterranean style climate allows grapes to grow and ripen to their fullest. Typically, Fleurieu wines express plenty of fascinating features and delicious, fruit-forward flavors that come about from the brilliant sunshine, tempered by cooling oceanic breezes. Vintners in Fleurieu are renowned for their innovation, and for taking advantage of the range of topographical and geological features in the region, and as such, wines from Fleurieu have gained much attention over the past few decades for their excellence, and their fascinating characteristics.
Country: Australia
With over sixteen thousand hectares of Australian land now under vine, Australia has become something of a world leader in regards to wine production. One of Australia's key attributes to their success has been their willingness to leave traditional vineyard practices to one side, and develop techniques which are perfectly suited to a New World country. Modern Australian wineries take into consideration the climate and the unique soil types which cover much of their country, and have had fantastic results from cross-breeding programs and blending practices which make the most of the grape varietals which thrive most successfully there, notably the Shiraz and Chardonnay grapes. In recent years, Australia has been lauded as the 'most influential' wine producing country in the world, and the rest of the New World is looking down under for inspiration, and the ability to produce comparable fine wines on their own terrain.

The North American Tiddlywinks Association
T i d d l y w i n k s !
Reprinted from The American Stationer, 1 January 1891, page 21
E. I. Horsman, importer, manufacturer and dealer in toys and games, 80 William street, is preparing to do a big business this year in lawn tennis, and expects to put on the market the finest line ever brought out in this country. To this end he has enlarged his factory, doubled its capacity and substituted a 100 horse power engine for the 50 horse power hitherto used. Altogether he is getting ready to repeat his "Tiddledy Winks Tennis" triumphs, and the lawns and parks will bloom with pretty maids and gallant lads all singing the praises of Horsman's tennis outfits, undoubtedly.

I came home all excited and could not wait to tell someone about my day, seeing as I only had my non horsey boyfriend to tell it turn into more of a lesson then a happy moment for me so I wanted to share this with people who will understand. Also I would love to hear your similar horse related stories, whatever your discipline.
Yesterday me and drumrunner went to Undaila to practice (you can go down there anytime during the week and they will set up the clock and all for $10 a horse), anyways I have been having some issues with my second barrel on my mare ever since she recovered from her injury.
I thought it was due to my terrible seat around the second barrel (I have been leaning in on the 2nd for god knows why), so I figured if I just corrected my seat that would fix things.
So yesterday when we got there I did a few slow runs and even after planting my butt and staying centered she was still blowing the outside of her turn, not as bad but still not a smooth turn.
I then started to worry that she was having the issue because of "hurting" but when I asked for drumrunners opinion she said my mare was not acting like it was a hurt (no ears back no nothing) but that it was like she was getting her feet mixed up or something.
I then went through the pattern again and noticed she was picking up the wrong lead going into the 2nd barrel, how I did not notice this before I have no clue.
I then walked her down and really planned out what I was about to try.
After a little time I let her go, first barrel was beautiful (like always), and this time heading to the second barrel I kicked her only with my right foot forcing her to pick up her correct lead and the 2nd barrel ended up being so smooth and so fast that I was not prepared, I was so shocked I about came out of my saddle!
I threw myself back in the seat slowed her up then did the pattern again for the last time.
I can honestly say I have finally figured the heifer out!
She ran the prettiest and cleanest pattern ever in her whole career.
I think it is so funny how we start of training our horses and teaching them how to do things when in the end they end up training us and teaching us things!
She has been screaming "JUST RIDE ME RIGHT AND I WILL DO IT" but I'm just now hearing her.
So thankful for my mare, she may not be the fastest thing out there but she has a lot of heart and I love her to pieces.
I also think she rather loved me yesterday.
After I unsaddled her I let her roll around in one of the holding pens beside the arena while drumrunner practiced. She rolled about 5 time and was covered in dirt but she was very happy :)
This is a picture I snapped of her after unloading her off the trailer, she is a roller so that explains the dirt.

RIT Computer Engineering Senior Design
Winter 2005-2006
Project Team Members
Project Objectives
The purpose of this project is to create a multidisciplinary project, which will incorporate various aspects of computer engineering. This project will include the use of a software user interface communicating with a vehicle using a 802.11b protocol over the internet. The vehicle contains a microprocessor for motor control and wireless communications, and a video sensor to capture images of its environment. The video sensor will capture images at the car's position and post the images on a wireless web server. The application will then open a URL connection to the web server gaining access to the captured images. The movement of the car position would then be controlled from the user interface. The user would effectively be able to "drive" the vehicle and view the updated position seen by the car from the software user interface. This type of project design could be practical applied as a remote home security monitoring system.

Pregnancy Testing
Purposes of Tests
During your pregnancy you may be offered a variety of screening and diagnostic tests. Many families wonder what tests, if any, they should use to help ensure the health of mother and baby. Your decision to use or not use a technology for testing should be based on what provides the least amount of risk with the most benefits for both mother and baby.
In many ways, prenatal tests can be helpful to a family. If you are well informed about your options, understand your risks and equip yourself with a good understanding of the tests available, prenatal tests can help you get information you need to feel confident in your decisions. You can choose to utilize only those tests most likely to provide you with useful information.
What is useful information varies from family to family. Some families decide to use prenatal testing because they want to be sure their baby is healthy. However, it is important to understand although prenatal testing can be helpful at detecting certain conditions, they do not give you a guarantee your child will not have other problems. Other families decide to use specific prenatal tests which detect problems in areas they know they are at a higher than average risk for developing. Many families choose not to use one or more tests offered because they know the outcome of the test would not affect how they manage their pregnancy or prepare for childbirth.
As you consider the tests available to you, ask yourself the following questions:
Am I or my baby at risk for a condition this test can detect?
What will I do with the information from this test?
What changes will I make if the test comes back positive or negative?

Tagging along with Jessie Ware during her stateside tour has been an awesome ride overflowing with laughter. From front row seats to her live shows to getting an exclusive look at her wardrobe, we've captured every moment.
Ware is our April You Oughta Know artist, and we've been sharing glimpses of who this soulful British chanteuse is with you all month long. Her Paper Magazine cover story party was a night to remember and Williamsburg's Music Hall was like a scene straight from Girls. Speaking of Girls, do you agree with Jessie that Charlie's a total hunk now?
Another thing Jessie loves is Justin Timberlake's "Pusher Love Girl" performed live, as well as his new album. Instead of us rambling on about all of the moments we shared with Jessie firsthand, check out the video montage of her You Oughta Know diary and gallery of all things quirky that make Jessie Ware the chick to know.

I repeat the offer: If you'd like your side represented please call me. I'm ready to include your information in a story.
Can you contact me for an update story? If non-gas-drillers got advance copies I should reflect that. I'm at 315-470-3251. Thanks!
Debbie Sydow will be replaced temporarily by OCC board chair Meg O'Connell, who will be paid $195,000 a year as interim president. The board is searching for a permanent replacement.
I did mean "bottle." Thanks for the catch; change has been made.
I think it would be very difficult for anyone reading today's story to figure out how to make meth because the story doesn't say how. We listed a few ingredients but deliberately did not include details of how to make it, such as how much of each ingredient you need, how to mix it, how to sustain the chemical reactions, etc.
You're right -- it should be billion. I'll fix it now. Thanks for pointing that out.
Actually, this is an expanded, follow-up story. Perhaps you missed the first one we wrote last week: http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2012/03/auburn_council_votes_to_accept.html
Sharp eye, ThatGuy. I should have deleted the "on" when I deleted "Genesee Street." Will do.
Good questions, presidentvoldemort. We're asking them, and the police are, too. When we know more we'll post it.
I'm not sure where the photo is from. Syracuse police did say that Olmo had no local criminal record, but we don't know anything beyond that.
Here's a link to a federal Education Department report with graduation rates (see page 5, Table 1). New York's graduation rate is 70.8 percent compared to the national average of 74.9. Wisconsin is on top with 89.6 percent.
Thanks for the catch -- I should have said Onondaga Road. And as far as I know, no relation to those Coins.
In headlines we routinely use common nouns to describe vehicles. A quick check of our archives shows that we use car, truck, SUV, or van when it best describes the vehicle involved. Here's an example from February: "Three hurt after car hits van in snowbank."
tjfman: There are legal restrictions on how the foundation can use the endowments. It can't use the principal, but just the interest and dividends.
Anniepook: I'm writing a follow-up story on the pool closing, and I'd like to talk to people who will be affected by the closure. Can you contact me at email@example.com? Thanks!

Depends on what you're looking for. Oneida Lake is a popular second-home spot. The houses tend to be smaller and more affordable than on the Finger Lakes.
Oneida Lake is the second-most-fished lake in the state, behind Lake Ontario. Lots of panfish, walleye, perch, and, increasingly, bass.
Bays and beaches are very shallow, which is good for young kids.
The shallowness means the lake gets whipped up pretty easily in the wind, though.
Hope that helps. You can also try the Oneida Lake Association site for more information: www.oneidalakeassociation.org.
Good point by TOPWTR81on the length of walleye vs. bass seasons. Interestingly, though, walleye seem to be the preferred fish all year long. The DEC survey breaks the year into four-month blocks. Walleye is the primary fish in all three blocks, although, to TOPWTR81's point, the gap narrows when both fish are in season.
For example, in January to May, walleye were favored 63 percent and bass 11 percent. In June to September, it's walleye at 51 percent and bass at 32. October to December, it's walley at 64 percent, bass at 14.
Keep in mind these are surveys, and the numbers aren't precise. But they're food for thought.
tpirro: I've posted a new entry on the blog about how to get started in kayaking. Hope that's what you need. If not, e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Oh thank GOD!! Come on JOE!!!
Edit: Jonboy, don't feed the troll. Let him go to YBR and do that shit.
And a fumble.
This is like a bad dream.
OMG a completion!!!
Flacco time.
1st, handoff to Ross, gets 3.
2nd and 7, Flacco moves up in the pocket, gets the ball stripped, but Cousins fell on it.
3rd and 8, shotgun complete to Wheelright to the 30 and a first. What a gun that guy has.
Build on that completion kid.
Someone just said that Flacco was coming in agaisnt ups drivers. At this point Boller should be able to do a little better...his last 4 throws were clunkers. yes cut himQuote:
Cut him? as bad as he is, he's the best we got by a fair margin...
See, this is what I'm talking about...he doesn't have a damn chance with these losers blocking this late in the 4th.
And Joe HAS to hold onto the ball...everytime he has been hit this preseason, he has fumbled the ball.
1st, Flacco hit AGAIN and the ball pops out but the whistle had blown. He was hit between 2 guys. These linemen are absolutely fucking pathetic.
2nd and 13, complete on the quick out to Wheelright, gain of 6. Difference between him and Booty on that patern is immense.
3rd and 7, dump to Ross, gets something, but holding is called. Declined.
At least its better than game 1 Joe!
Flacco looks better, but he is NOT ready yet. And as bad as Boller looks, Smith looks markedly worse. There is barely anything he does better, and MANY things he does worse.
I'm serious. This is like a nightmare. How can our QB situation actually be WORSE that the Dolphins and Bears??
Jon, seriously. Ignore him. Considering he hasn't said shit about Smith you know why he's here. Just let him go.
The sad thing is with 3 QB's combined with under 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter the Ravens haven't broke 100 total passing yards.I think I may vomit.
yeah, my bad he's abotu to go on ignore in 3, 2, 1....
It makes me wish we had picked up Pennington... that's pretty rough.
Why can't we stop this Albert Young guy?
Boller plays like he is a rookie. Its time to wash our freaking hands of this fur burger
Both QB's stink, and both in all likelyhood will get a chance to play this season so we can expect the QB nightmare for at least another season.
Flacco isn't ready and quite frankly, I don't think it's fair to wait this long every game for him to get in here with these future Truckers blocking for him.
Crazy, Boller will be gone next year and Smith will be Flacco's backup. Boller has had the better camp though and has played a little better than Smith so he is likely going to be the starter.
Just need to get through this year.
Hey Booty start practicing stacking wal mart shelves.
So now, Flacco likely will only get one series?
WTF John...stop waiting till 6 minutes in the damn game to put him in.
Flacco will get a 2 minute drill. Lets see what the kid can do.

Presented by engineer and mixing guru Michael Costa and officially approved by IK Multimedia, this in-depth series shows you how to get professional radio sounding results using the IK Multimedia T-RackS.
Michael first introduces you to the powerful T-RackS Deluxe plug-in suite and then gives you a crash course into mastering your productions so they sound better while having a healthy, loud level. During your journey you'll learn about EQ, compression, dithering, parallel processing and much more. Step-up your sound today.
1. When did you start dabbling in music?
I was classically trained in piano from the age of 7 and had a
strong obsession with popular music right throughout my youth. I
played keyboards in various rock bands in the mid 80's but found a
pronounced leaning towards the technology and computer side of music
as samplers and computers became more attainable in the late 80's.
2. What training have you had?
In 1989 I completed my Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Music
Technology from La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia. Much
of my tech knowledge in those pre-internet days came from devouring issues of Keyboard, Mix and EM - monthly, without fail.
3. When did you get into recording?
I started getting into recording in 1984 with a Tascam 244 4-track
cassette system. In 1989 I moved to a Digidesign Sound Tools II
system - a true random access 2 track editor - and that was the
beginning of a long association with Digidesign products. I married
this hardware up to Opcode's Studio Vision for many years as well as
getting in at the ground floor with Pro Tools v1 in 1991. I've been
a Pro Tools user since then right up to the current day.
4. People you have worked with/for?
I've been lucky enough to work with a huge cross section of talent within the Australian music scene. Names like: INXS, Little River Band, John Farnham, Kasey Chambers and Richard Clapton. Plus music editing on breakout movies like Shine and Strictly Ballroom with Oscar nominated composer, David Hirschfelder.
5. Why are you so good at training people?
I think I'm good at training because I really love this stuff - I
genuinely want to show people how cool these tools are. Even as a
fully grown adult, I still find myself getting excited like a little
kid about the magic we can do with our systems these days and
wondering how far it can go in the years to come. I hope that
enthusiasm is contagious!

In an investors note this morning, Jefferies analyst Peter Misek says Apple is planning to release the iPhone 5S in June of 2013, reports Business Insider.
Misek is predicting the iPhone 5S has a new "super HD camera/screen, a better battery, and NFC," and "possible updates include an IGZO screen for Retina+, 128GB storage." He's also predicting it comes in 6-8 colors, presumably similar to the iPod Touch which comes in a bunch of colors.
Apple has released its last two iPhone models in the fall; however, the iPhone 3G and iPhone 4 did come out mid-year.
Misek's report appears to corroborate another from DigiTimes which said the iPhone 5S will enter volume production in the first quarter of 2013.

noway pricy - December 11, 2012 at 12:00pm
When iPhone 1. Came it was innovation something new and latest on market but after that they got greedy and did not follow their own path. With very little updates on hardwere base and few tweak and new future on old iOS dose not count as innovation more like putting mackup on old lady to make it more beautiful.. Its time they should follow their innovation path and include latest hardwere and software combine innovation and change world or be greedy and fall on ass and let android fuck u all over! Because android not just changing way smartphone to be more smarter but more powerful too! Take it as hardware they have proxeaaore that we had in PC 5 yr ago ram and not just that software is improving lot! Google now! Saves lot of time reply text email and comment from just notifications saves time! Rather then opening app and replay. Multi task is key that apple still not good at on their phone unless jailbrokem.

ROFL. Big blow for FanBoys. I guess next iPhone will be coming up with "Tim cock" patent which he will ask all the fans boys to suuck till they release iPhone 6. Now this Tim cock knows none of his products would survive for long in the market so coming up with the next one so quick. Whoever bought the current versions gets fcuked totally. Right after launch of iPhone5, ATT started selling "refurbished" versions of the same and they clearly know so much to come :) . I must say good move by applle and big blow for stupid fanboys. ROFL

NoGoodNick - December 10, 2012 at 8:17pm
Tim Cook has decided to take the same approach that everyone else does, releasing multiple releases of new products every month, without waiting for them to be perfected. But that focused approach by Steve Jobs is why Apple has such a reputation as a reputable company now. Unfortunately, he thinks he'd rather piss away a reputation for being a quality company in exchange for a short term gain in market share.
John Doe - December 11, 2012 at 4:43am
You make it sound like its official that this iPhone is coming out.

(ABC 6 NEW) -- With nearly a foot of snow in 24 hours, cars in Minneapolis are either buried or at the impound lot.
"I don't know what I'm going to do," said driver Fuad Khalif. "It's stressful."
Khalif woke up to a missing car, towed from his street because he lives on a Snow Emergency Route. Once he tracked it down, it didn't make his day any better. Impound lot workers told him his back bumper was ripped off in the tow.
"I come to pick it up and I've got damages on my car," he said. "It's going to fall off eventually today if I hit a big chunk of ice."
"It's pretty frustrating because I felt like I was on top of it," said Bill Cook. Cook came home from working a 12-hour overnight shift to find his car had been towed away.
Not only are drivers paying the $200 fines to get their cars back but there are also other unforeseen expenses. For some, it's a costly cab ride. Khalif estimates he's out another $400 due to the damage from the tow.
"It's not my fault that they broke my car."

Friendswood Police Activity Report October 21-27, 2013
Wilderness Trails Subdivision Targeted for Mischief
Residents in the Wilderness Trails subdivision have been victimized by what police believe to be a teen vandal. Reports of alcohol thefts from refrigerators, stolen or damaged Halloween decorations and other acts of criminal mischief have been documented for more than a week now. The suspect profile for this crime spree is likely a teenage male, who lives in the area, and has a parent or parents who are not home at night. The suspect is likely on foot and has probably been seen by neighbors creeping around the neighborhood late at night.
Oct. 15 (5:50 p.m.) Sometime overnight, someone stole a bottle of champagne from a garage refrigerator in the 1400 block of Buttonwood Drive. The burglar entered a gated area and went into the garage.
Oct. 21 (8:37 a.m.) An officer responded to a residence in the 1500 block of Frontier Lane where the victim's vehicle had been vandalized. Glue and bleach was poured all over the vehicle causing damage. The vehicle was located inside a closed but unlocked garage. No suspects were listed.
Oct. 21 (4:37 p.m.) Sometime overnight, suspects stole Halloween yard art from the front yard of a residence in the 1100 block of Glenshannon Avenue. A pumpkin patch display, one large pumpkin and one harvest boy were stolen. All three displays were made out of 2 foot by 3 foot pieces of plywood with PVC pipe on the back for mounting.
Oct. 21 (5:06 p.m.) Beer was stolen from a garage refrigerator and yard ornaments were damaged in the 1300 Buttonwood Drive.
Oct. 24 (4:55 p.m.) Sometime overnight, a vehicle was burglarized in the 1400 block of Buttonwood Drive. The victim walked into her garage and noticed that the garage door was ajar. She then noticed that the passenger door on the car was not completely closed. She opened the car door and noticed that everything from the glove box was now on the floorboard and seat. The only thing found missing was a quick-assist emergency hammer.
Oct. 22 (1:55 a.m.) Trash cans were set on fire in front of a residence in the 1500 block of Piney Woods Drive. The fire department responded and put out the fire.
In additional to these reports, police are also aware of other incidents that were not reported to police:
Two separate thefts of alcohol from an outdoor refrigerator in the 1500 block of Oak Hollow, a fence board kicked out at the park on Applewood and two Halloween decorations taken from a residence in the 1500 block of Oak Hollow.
The police department has increased presence in the neighborhood at night but is asking residents to report any suspicious activity, keep garage doors locked and make sure that teens are at home during curfew hours. Teens should not be surprised if they receive citations for curfew violations given the increased incidents of criminal activity in the subdivision.
Oct. 22 (11:06 a.m.) An unlocked vehicle parked in the 500 block of Belmont Drive was burglarized overnight. Taken during the burglary was a GPS and cell phone charger.
Oct. 22 (8:38 p.m.) Cory Khair Khan, 27, of League City, was charged with Theft and Public Intoxication. Officers responded to the Kroger at 3135 FM 528 for a report of a suspicious person. A witness called police and reported a man staggering around the parking lot and asking customers for money. Before police arrived, the man had entered the Kroger store and was seen stuffing merchandise down his pants. By the time officers found the man, he had already passed the registers and did not pay for the items that he concealed. When officer contacted Khan, he exhibited signs of intoxication including the smell of alcohol on his breath. Officers took Khan into custody for public intoxication. As they searched his clothing they found make up and small bags of coffee. Khan had also opened a Starbucks Coffee while inside the store. In all, Khan had $14.47 in stolen items.
Oct 24 (8:17 a.m.) Sometime between 3:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., a purse was stolen out of a shopping cart at HEB, located at 701 W. Parkwood Avenue. The victim did not realize that her purse was gone until she arrived home.
Oct. 25 (9:31 a.m.) An officer took a theft of a firearm report at the Baymeadows Apartments, located at 17201 Blackhawk Blvd. Sometime between October 13 and October 25, a semi-automatic handgun was stolen out of the victim's apartment. A suspect has been identified.
Oct. 25 (11:14 a.m.) Sometime between October 2 and October 12, two rings were stolen from a residence in the 500 block of Misty Lane. The victims were on vacation and allowed their 20-year old son to stay at the residence, but found out from neighbors that their son had several parties at the home during their absence. This residence was the scene of an apparent drug overdose on October 11 when a 23-year old Friendswood man was rushed to the hospital. Police believe the man had taken prescription pills and possibly Heroin. Two bags of Heroin were found in the residence.
Oct. 25 (10:03 p.m.) Officers responded to a theft at the Kroger located at 151 N. Friendswood Drive. A cashier told police that she saw a person she knows to be Zachary Blood enter the store. The cashier has witnessed Blood steal groceries and other merchandise from the store in the past, so she alerted her manager. They watched as Blood picked up a 12-pack of beer, a bottle of lighter fluid and a bag of charcoal. Blood walked back toward the front of the store, hung around for a short time before running out the front doors. The cashier yelled at Blood to stop. Blood dropped all of the merchandise and fled on foot. Officers searched for Blood but were unable to locate him.
Criminal Mischief
Oct. 21 (5:44 p.m.) The Wedgewood Village Homeowners Association reported criminal mischief at Edenvale Park, located in the 15500 block of Blackhawk Blvd. Unknown persons cut the locks to door on the restroom building. The suspects damaged the storage room door and sprayed a fire extinguisher inside the storage room. Evidence was retrieved from the scene.

Oct. 25 (10:45 p.m.) Marie Ann Benson, 27, of Friendswood, was charged with Assault Causing Bodily Injury-family violence. Officers were dispatched to the Baymeadows Apartment at 17201 Blackhawk Blvd for a disturbance involving a knife. When police arrived, the victim was in her car with her four children in the parking lot. Officers entered the apartment to find Benson, but she was not there. While inside the apartment, officers noticed blood smeared on the wall. Benson is accused of grabbing the victim by the hair and hitting the victim in the face. An officer found Benson at a local bar and took her into custody. Officers later found that Benson had a warrant for her arrest charging her with Deadly Conduct.
Oct. 26 (5:30 p.m.) Timothy Lee Stanley, 44, of Friendswood, was charged with Assault by Contact-family violence. Officers were dispatched to a disturbance in the 15500 block of Edenvale Street. When officers arrived, they contacted Stanley, who was highly intoxicated. Stanley is accused of pushing his brother into a wall.
Oct. 21 (2:43 p.m.) David Parrish, Jr., 26, of Houston, was charged with Possession of Marijuana. Parrish was stopped for expired registration in the 100 block of E. Parkwood Avenue.

Driving While Intoxicated
Oct. 26 (12:31 a.m.) Jason David Tindall, 38, of Friendswood, was charged with Driving While Intoxicated. Tindall was stopped after he was observed speeding in the 100 block of Woodlawn Drive. Tindall turned onto W. Edgewood and accelerated at a high rate of speed and then turned onto S. Friendswood at an unsafe speed. It appeared as though, Tindall was attempting to elude police. He immediately pulled into a parking lot and attempted to exit his vehicle. Tindall exhibited signs of intoxication, including the smell of alcohol on his breath. He failed a field sobriety test and refused a breath test.
Oct. 27 (3:10 a.m.) Brian Bui, 23, of Friendswood, was charged with Driving While Intoxicated. Bui was speeding in the 300 block of Melody Lane.

Bui had a strong smell of alcohol on his breath. He failed a field sobriety test and refused a breath test.
Oct. 27 (3:13 a.m.) Rebecca Lauren Curtis, 22, of League City, was charged with Driving While Intoxicated and Resisting Arrest. Curtis was traveling at a high rate of speed in the 700 block of S. Friendswood Drive, passing other motorists, weaving outside her lane and narrowly missing hitting the median.

Wiebelhaus answered the door and was asked to turn down the music, but he refused. Wiebelhaus told the officer that he was a lawyer and that there was nothing that the officer could do about the loud music. He was wrong. The officer took Wiebelhaus into custody for violating the noise ordinance. Party goers began arguing with the officer. Once other officers arrived, all but one dispersed. Close refused to go back inside the house and exhibited signs of intoxication. Close was taken into custody for public intoxication.
Oct. 24 (11:57 p.m.) Korey Duff Chapman, 20, of Webster, was charged with No Insurance in the 3700 block of Friendswood Link Road. Chapman was driving with defective equipment, was stopped and did not have proof of insurance.
Halloween is just the beginning of the yard decoration season. Thieves who covet your expensive and attractive lawn decorations might decide to take them when you least expect it. Protecting your holiday decorations means planning carefully from the moment you pick them out. You can choose among several cost-effective protection methods as well more expensive options to keep your lawn decorations where they belong – in your yard.
1 Buy heavy, bulky lawn decorations such as life-sized statues. Larger decorations are more trouble to steal and move quickly, which reduces the chance of theft.
2 Pound a rebar or metal stake into the ground directly behind your lawn decoration using a rubber mallet. Attach the decoration to the stake using sturdy rope or chain, preferably through holes or openings in the back of the decoration to hide them from view. This makes it more difficult for a thief to quickly snatch the lawn decoration.
3 Dig a shallow hole with a shovel. Stir fast-set concrete with water in a wheelbarrow, per package instructions, and scoop it into the hole with a trowel. Use the trowel to level the concrete, then set the lawn decoration on top. Cover the foundation with mulch to hide it from view.
4 Lay a large, heavy piece of wood on the ground. Set the lawn decoration on top of the wood, and secure it to the wood with wood bolts using a socket wrench or power driver. This method is best used with decorations that have built-in mounting holes on the base. If yours doesn't have holes, you might be able to drill holes with a masonry drill -- it depends on how your decoration is configured.
5 Install motion-activated security lights on the outside of your home facing your lawn decorations. When a person walks into your yard after dark, the lights automatically turn on. Thieves prefer the cover of darkness and are less likely to steal your decorations when in the spotlight.
6 Install small GPS tracking devices on your lawn decorations in inconspicuous places, such as inside hollow decorations or along the base. These can be pricey to purchase and to pay for the monthly tracking service, but they allow you to locate your decorations if they are stolen.
