The sandwiches here are actually very good. I like them better than Subway or Jimmy John's. I am not much of a coffee drinker, so I generally get chai. My only complaint is that there are sometimes very long lines. It can take some time to place orders or to get food. The wait is generally worth it.

It is nice to have a place to access wireless internet (and grab a cup of coffee) in the neighborhood. Believe me, I am grateful there is no Starbucks in Bridgeport. However I have to agree with another reviewer. The help is very friendly but they can get quite loud with their personal conversations, laughing extremely loud frequently (to the point where I'm not the only patron turning and seeing what the joke is), or screeching with joy when friends stop by to visit them at work. I do enjoy a friendly atmosphere and would never expect anything near silence in a busy coffee shop, but the staff do need to remember that it is a business.

I was so happy when the B-port Coffee House opened a few years ago. I am a huge supporter of small, mom and pop establishments, so I really want to support them. The cookies, sandwiches and tea are all good. The coffee, well...in my opinion is bitter and not so good. I know the owner roasts his own beans, but I have tried it several times and it never gets any better. Another unfortunate thing is that , they keep a TV on the whole time they are open and when they have satellite radio on the music is HORRIBLE. If you go to a coffee house on the north side, there isn't a TV set, but in B-port there is TV...how annoying! I really want to like this place because it's really cute, the people are nice, it's close to my house and I want to support local business. However, I LOVE coffee and the coffee must be good. Mike, please reconsider your roasting and offer a less bitter blend, shut off the damn TV set and play some decent music. Thank you!

Owner is often on-site. Lots of regulars! Moms group meets on Wed mornings. Help is friendly if a little distracted. Good coffee...can't take the decaf lattes, though. Burnt flavor overpowers. Pastries are good & fresh - but usually gone by mid-morning. Fairly good sandwiches (everything's fresh). Like the atmosphere - as a transplanted Wrigleyville-ian - I really needed a local coffee house/cafe! Offers local art on the wall, internet connectivity, and a quiet place to sit, read (has Reader newspapers, too! Yay!), contemplate life. Just watch out for the other transplants...they can get pushy. Had a guy pull a newspaper out from under my reading eyes w/o so much as a "Hey, I want that". Local city workers and contractors stop in and give the place a much-needed anchored to the neighborhood feeling. Please stop by after checking out the local burgeoning art scene (most likely spurred by the Internationally-acclaimed Zhou Bros.)

Rogues are a pure DPS class, which means that all three of our ability trees are DPS-focused. We don't have the capability to heal or tank, and our ranged attack arsenal is weaker than a hunter's argument that he deserves a Crystallized Firestone for his Ranseur of Hatred. While there are other pure DPS classes like the mage and warlock, rogue specs have more in common than fire and arcane or destruction and demonology. Our combo point rotation system defines each talent tree's playstyle, and many of our signature spells are shared between all specs.
Because of the similarities between our specs, there are several concepts that apply to all rogues. I've called these axioms, rules, and laws in the past, but the truth is that they're not always inscribed in stone for everyone to read. I'm talking about the knowledge that established rogues take for granted, as we're so used to our habits that we forget why we started them in the first place.
Deadly Poison drives many of our choices
When designing a proc effect, the developers typically lean toward one of two options: percentage-based rates or proc-per-minute (PPM) rates. Percentage-based proc rates give our attacks a flat percent change to activate, which means that faster weapons that land more attacks will yield more procs. PPM-based proc rates scale their proc chance up or down based on our weapon speed, which means we should see the same number of procs per minute, regardless of what weapon we use.
While Instant Poison and others were moved to use PPM mechanic many moons ago, Deadly Poison has remained untouched as a percentage-based poison. When we have five stacks of Deadly Poison on our target, each additional DP proc actually activates our other poison.
Deadly Poison was redesigned in this fashion largely due to Adrine's clever addon PoisonSwapper, which automatically swapped our weapons to exploit a weakness in Deadly Poison's design. PoisonSwapper would swap our off-hand weapon to an alternate weapon laced with Instant or Wound Poison whenever we were at five stacks of Deadly Poison, and then swap back to the Deadly Poison weapon just in time to refresh the stack. Blizzard had no option but to redesign Deadly Poison or force rogues into using an addon to maximize their DPS.
Because the redesigned Deadly Poison yields more poison procs when we're using a quick weapon, we want to use the quickest weapon possible. All of those extra Deadly Poison procs are guaranteed to give us extra Instant Poison procs once our target is at five stacks of DP, which means that our DP-laced weapon actually generates more Instant Poison procs than our main weapon does.
A tale of two poisons
While assassination rogues have plenty of talents that prop up Instant Poison, it's actually not that great for combat or subtlety rogues. In fact, Wound Poison deals more damage over the course of an encounter for these two specs than Instant Poison does, due to its high proc rate. The catch is Deadly Poison and Wound Poison don't synergize well due to WP's low individual proc damage. Because each Deadly Poison proc generates a massive Instant Poison proc when you're using IP, the two dovetail into a combo that combat and subtlety simply can't resist.
If you're crawling through a quick dungeon or engaging in PVP on your subtlety or combat rogue, there's nothing wrong with tossing on some Wound Poison onto your weapons. Unless you're getting more than 30 seconds of uninterrupted damage on your target, Wound Poison will probably yield more damage anyway. In fact, Wound Poison is actually the poison of choice for combat and subtlety ranged weapons in most situations, although that point becomes moot in Mists of Pandaria. The Instant/Deadly Poison combo requires a full stack of Deadly Poison active on our target before it's effective.
The quintessential quick dagger
Because Deadly Poison is a cornerstone for every rogue spec in PVE, we need a quick weapon to apply our poisons to our targets as soon as possible. Blizzard's developers have stopped itemizing quick melee weapons for rogues that aren't daggers, so all three specs are stuck using daggers in their off-hand.
While I miss the imagery of a rogue dual-wielding sharp swords or heavy maces, the fact is that itemizing gear for rogues and ensuring we have a good off-hand weapon available has become much easier. In fact, having quick daggers as the de facto OH weapon for all three specs makes it easier for us to be flexible with our choice of spec. There are other reasons to use a quick weapon, like Combat Potency, but Deadly Poison ensures that all three specs are equally inclined.
The Mists of Pandaria cloud our view
Ghostcrawler (WoW's lead systems designer) admitted that the poison system will be getting a revamp in the upcoming MoP expansion pack. While exact details of what's changing are scarce, I have to imagine that today's poisons, as we know them, will be gone. Deadly Poison's mechanics drive so many of the choices that we make on our rogues, and so there will be plenty of research and theorycrafting put into MoP as rogues work to find out how the poison redesign tweaks every aspect of our class.

One thing that may escape casual observers of the modern Pagan movement is that we are now truly global in scope. Pagan revivals and reconstructions are happening across Europe, in South America, Lebanon, South Africa, Russia, and there are even Wiccans in India. Far too often our focus is on what's happening with Pagans in English-speaking countries, forgetting that there are daily struggles by Pagans outside that paradigm. Recently, a major upheaval in the country of Hungary places a spotlight … [Read more...]

School? On Memorial Day?!
By Mose Buchele
A note to those students (and maybe some teachers and staff) who were celebrating a snow day in Austin last February 4th: It's time to pay the piper.
Memorial Day, May 30th, is a "bad weather make-up day" for the Austin School District. All district schools will be open to make up for the day that was lost during the epic around-an-inch of snowfall that hit the area last February.
So, while many Austinites will be enjoying a day off, AISD is telling students and staff to report to school at regular times.

(ABC 6 News) -- From singing to musical circle, Kari Bottin and her students all have one thing in common, they love music.
"The chance for kids to have an outlet for their emotions as well as something active they get to do every day, we have a lot of fun and get a lot of work done too," says Bottin.
She's been teaching for nine years with the Blooming Prairie School District and says she's thankful the district appreciates the arts.
"So much research shows that we connect the right brain and the left brain when we do music and things with arts, so its very important and I'm very proud to be a music teacher."
We'll continue to feature Excellent Educators the rest of this school year, if you'd like to honor your teacher fill out a nomination form.

On February 19, 2013, the Fort Collins City Council became the second city in Colorado to move forward with a ban on hydraulic fracturing. The City Council gave initial approval to an ordinance that would bar oil and gas exploration, including hydraulic fracturing, within the city limits.
The next day, Governor John Hickenlooper's office weighed in on Fort Collins' proposed ban, again expressing its position that outright bans violate private property rights, and that the better approach is regulations to protect health and safety. The Colorado Oil and Gas Association ("COGA"), which has a lawsuit pending against the City of Longmont over its voter-approved referendum that banned hydraulic fracturing, echoed similar sentiments. According to COGA, if the Fort Collins ban passes, it will assess the need for legal action. The state, which also sued the City of Longmont over its regulations (but not the voter-approved ban), indicated that it too would need to explore litigation if the ban passes.
The potential for new oil and gas development within the city of Fort Collins has been reported as low to moderate. In December 2012, the City Council authorized a moratorium preventing any further drilling of oil and gas wells within the city limits. That moratorium is in place until July 31, 2013. It remains to be seen if the City Council will give final approval to the ordinance that was proposed on February 19.
On Friday, February 22, 2013, reports surfaced that the views of certain businesses in Fort Collins may not have been accurately reflected by COGA. COGA has acknowledged that mistakes were made in obtaining signatures on petitions from Fort Collins businesses it claimed were opposed to the City's proposed ban. COGA is conducting an internal investigation to determine what happened and why certain businesses' views were incorrectly stated by COGA. Media coverage of the recent activities in Fort Collins can be found here, here, and here.

Tales of the Riverbank, sometimes called Hammy Hamster, was a British children's television show developed from a Canadian pilot. The original series was later broadcast on Canadian and U.S. television, dubbed by Canadian and American actors for the markets they were to be broadcast in.
The pilot was created by David Ellison and Paul Sutherland, CBC film editors, in 1959. After completing the pilot programme, CBC turned down the production and so Dave Ellison travelled to the BBC in London to show it.[1] The BBC initially commissioned thirteen episodes, but extended this later. A second series were made in colour in the 1970s, narrated by Johnny Morris.
The show also aired on the Animal Planet during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
A later remake was produced by YTV and Channel 4 in 1995 which ran for three years, and a feature-length film was made in 2008 using puppets rather than live animals.
The programme had human voices in sync with the actions of the live animals, to give the impression that the creatures were performing activities. They lived in a place called "The Riverbank" and operated various artifacts including toy sailboats, cars, and even a diving bell. Various techniques were used to persuade the animals to do what was required, including smearing jam on the objects they were to handle.[2] The voices were selected to reflect the personalities of the animals. Each episode ended with the narrator alluding to an event involving the characters, but refusing to elaborate, saying "But that is another story."
The original black and white Tales of the Riverbank series was first shown by the BBC on 3 July 1960 at 4:50 pm.[3] It was originally narrated by Paul Sutherland, but the BBC did not want Canadian accents and so for the BBC showings, all the voices were provided by Johnny Morris. The series was eventually sold to 34 countries around the world.

Further episodes[edit]
After the original thirteen episodes, 39 further episodes were made in black and white. The majority were written by David Ellison, Charles Fullman, Paul Sutherland and Cliff Braggins. The episodes of Tales of the Riverbank purchased by the BBC were adapted by staff writer Peggy Miller. Much of the filming was done on location at Wootton Creek on the Isle of Wight.
A later series with 26 episodes was filmed in colour in the 1970s, retitled Hammy Hamster[4] (full title: Hammy Hamster's Adventures On the Riverbank) launched in 1972. The BBC had introduced a policy of not using human voices for live animals and so this series was shown in the UK by ITV. In Australia the show aired on ABC TV through the '70s as Adventures on the River Bank.
A further series, from 1995 to 1998, was produced for YTV and Channel 4; 65 episodes of that series were made.[3] It is ranked 79th in the UK Channel 4's 2001 poll of the 100 Greatest Kids' TV shows. In the United States, Once Upon A Hamster was broadcast in a late-night slot, which helped the programme transcend its intended audience and develop a cult status among American viewers.[5]
Dave Ellison has recently launched his own website [6] to regularly update information about Hammy Hamster and his friends. He has also been involved with optimising the TV series, last shown on Channel 4, for release on DVD. The first nine episodes are now readily available.
Three children's books were published by Scholastic Publications Ltd in 1993 based on the series and illustrated by Pauline Hazelwood.
Main characters[edit]
In the later series the list of characters was expanded from the original first three listed below.
|Hammy Hamster
|The series' main protagonist and best-known character. He is curious and kind and lives in an old boot on the Riverbank. He became GP's co-pilot in the episode The Aeroplane Ride.
|Roderick the Water Rat
|Hammy's best friend. He is cautious, resourceful and owns a small motorboat. In the Canadian and U.S. versions of the series, this character was Matty or Martha Mouse (although the "mouse" is really a rat). In Australia, the character was known as Matthew.
|G. P. the Guinea Pig
|Boastful and creative, he is the Riverbank's resident inventor. His creations included a "winch-a-ma-bob" and a "recyclamobile". He lived in a wooden house with a prominent water wheel at the front. He had a small plane, which he flew in several episodes, and spoke in a voice that sounded rather like W. C. Fields (in the BBC version, he speaks with a strong Yorkshire accent).
|A slow and plodding character. He teaches his friends the importance of patience.
|Wise Old Frog
|A grouchy but clever frog. His wise advice is often sought by the other characters.
|Granny Rabbit
|Acts as a grandmother to the whole community. She is fond of baking, singing and story-telling.
|Berti and Herbi
|Roderick's sneaky hamster nephews, who have no relation to Hammy. Appear in Bubbles.
|The Owl
|Always on a tree branch, the only word it ever says is "who".
Feature film[edit]
A feature-length film, also titled Tales of the Riverbank, was released in September 2008 directly to DVD. It used a mix of puppets, live action, and special effects. Directed by John Henderson, produced by Handmade Pictures and starring Stephen Fry as Owl, Ardal O'Hanlon as Hammy, Steve Coogan as Roderick and Jim Broadbent as G. P., the story follows three friends who live in a riverbank. After being swept away from their homes by a storm, they embark on an adventure to find their home and save it from the danger of the Fat Cats' factory.
Environmental impact[edit]
The series was filmed at Cothy Butts near Fishbourne on the Isle of Wight. At the end of filming in 1973, the animals were released into the wild at this site. The rats, hamsters and cavies died not long after release, but the Mongolian Gerbils survived for at least three years, the colony reaching c. 100 individuals by this time.[7] [8]

These guidelines cover all derivation of hES cell lines and all research that uses hES cells derived from
Blastocysts made for reproductive purposes and later obtained for research from in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics.
Blastocysts made specifically for research using IVF.
Somatic cell nuclear transfer (NT) into oocytes.
The guidelines do not cover research that uses nonhuman stem cells.
Many, but not all, of the guidelines and concerns addressed in this report are common to other areas of human stem cell research, such as
Research that uses human adult stem cells.
Research that uses fetal stem cells or embryonic germ cells derived from fetal tissue; such research is covered by federal statutory restrictions at 42 U.S.C. 289g-2(a) and federal regulations at 45 CFR 46.210.
Institutions and investigators conducting research using such materials should consider which individual provisions of these guidelines are relevant to their research.
These guidelines also do not apply to reproductive uses of nuclear transfer (NT), which are addressed in the 2002 report Scientific and Medical Aspects of Human Reproductive Cloning, in which the National Academies recommended that "Human reproductive cloning should not now be practiced. It is dangerous and likely to fail." Although these guidelines do not specifically address human reproductive cloning, it continues to be the view of the National Academies that research aimed at the reproductive cloning of a human being should not be conducted at this time.
These guidelines specify categories of research that:
Are permissible after currently mandated reviews and proper notification of the relevant research institution.
Are permissible after additional review by an Embryonic Stem Cell Research Oversight (ESCRO) committee, as described in Section 2.0 of the guidelines.
Should not be conducted at this time.
Because of the sensitive nature of some aspects of hES cell research, these guidelines in many instances set a higher standard than is required by laws or regulations with which institutions and individuals already must comply.

VERY clean laundry!
By HappyCamperD
from WI
Best Uses
Super capacity. Managed a Queen comforter with no problems. Clothes are very dry after washing which greatly reduces dryying time. Very easy to operate and controls are simplistic. Also beautiful to look at!**note that I am 5'2" and stacked mine with the coordinating dryer. They are about a bit high for just 1 setting on the dryer, but I DON'T need a step stool so it's all good! :)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Best I've Used Yet
I have tried alot of packs over the years. Everything from Kelty at the begining, then moving on to Osprey and Gregory Packs, but this Arcteryx Naos is by far the best. First off the main compartment is totaly waterproof if you leave the port for the hydration tube closed, but if you leave the lid on and as long as you don't submerge the pack totaly under water it will keep everything absolutely dry. The zippered pockets are not totaly water tight, but as I said above it will handle everything but a total submerging in water. So leave that pack cover at home, and pray for rain. Another great thing is this pack won't absorb water into its fabric... thus it doesn't get heavier if it gets wet. This is the most comfertable pack I have ever worn. The key difference is the swivel waist belt. It makes for all the difference. The pack is free to move from side to side, but still be anchored to your waist. The material of this pack is super strong... and while I can't attest to it now, this pack seems like it will last a life time. The design is everything you need, and nothing you don't. Two lid pockets (one large, one small), two front zippered pockets (one large, one small), and the cavernous roll top main compartment.
Sean Chism
One year in the books now with this pack, and I'm just as happy with it now as was before. There are no signs of wear on the pack even though it has received heavy use. It has made it through sustained rain with no leaks. Once I fell in on a river crossing up to my chest, the pack was 3/4 submirged, and nothing got wet. I have since bought my wife the female version, and she loves hers just as much as I love mine. They are the most durable, cleverely designed, and waterproof pack we have ever seen or used.

I am interested in the relationship between religion, unbelief and the development of modern social and political thought. I am under the co-supervision of Professor Sandra den Otter and Professor Andrew Jainchill. My dissertation will look at the relationship between empire and unbelief in nineteenth-century Britain. Specific themes I am studying include the ways in which knowledge derived from empire informed the development of religious comparisons which atheists and secularists used to criticize the British state and the established church. I am also interested in how atheistic materialism and positivism informed ideas of progress and an imperial civilizing mission.

These have no chamois so what do you recommend wearing under them? I just got them and haven't worn them yet. They fit really well but I can't wear them al fresco when there's no chamois!
Just get a mtb short liner with chamios. Sugoi usually makes a nice one (which Hucknroll sells). Or Zoic maybe.

Madison Square Mall is Huntsville, Alabama's largest enclosed shopping center, encompassing over 932,452 sq. ft. It is also now the oldest extant enclosed shopping mall in the city. Anchored by JCPenney, Dillard's, Sears, and Belk, the mall is located on the corner of University Dr. (U.S. 72) and Research Park Blvd.
Madison Square Mall opened on October 16, 1984 with anchors JCPenney, Parisian, Castner Knott, Pizitz, and Sears. Junior anchors included Yielding and Blach's. Over time, some of the anchors have had changes. Blach's was closed by 1987 and its space is now filled by The Limited and Victoria's Secret. Pizitz was acquired by Jackson, Mississippi-based McRae's in 1988 and was renamed as such until McRae's was bought out by Charlotte, North Carolina-based Belk Inc. Castner Knott was acquired in 1998 by Dillard's, and Yielding closed their Madison Square Mall location in about 1993. For the next 10 years the space was used by Castner Knott/Dillard's as space for their menswear. Today, Steve & Barry's University Sportswear uses the space.
In addition to the in-line stores, several other businesses are located at the Madison Square site, including a Holiday Inn hotel, Lone Star Steakhouse & Saloon, Romano's Macaroni Grill and Steak n Shake restaurants, and a Regal Cinemas theater.
Madison Square Mall has been renovated twice since its opening, in 1994 and again in 2006.

Clark: Looking towards the end
Today, in theory, should about wrap things up.
With Election Day taking part all day today, the end is near and I, for one, could not be more thrilled.
Don't get me wrong, as a former political reporter, I used to thrive on the election season.
The number of stories could fill a book. But, much like every other election season I have been a journalist during, I am just waiting for the end.
Fortunately, today is the end.
As a news organization, it is our job to be fair and balanced with our coverage. You don't want to give the appearance that you are attempting to sway an election one way or the other.
This holds true with a lot of things that are part of the election process.
We decided, early on, that we would not be accepting endorsement letters to the editor during the season.
Now, I am one that firmly believes in the First Amendment and everyone's right to free speech. However, I learned long ago that, during an election cycle, some people can take that way to the extreme.
There was one situation (not here, but at another newspaper) where a candidate called me to ask about endorsement letters. I told him that we would be fair and impartial regarding our policy about the letters and allow them on an equal basis.
Well, in the end, we ran six letters for his candidacy and six for his opponent.
You would think that would not be an issue.
Well, shortly after the election — of which the candidate who called me actually won — he called me back and promptly chewed my backside because the inches of letters for his opponent were greater than the ones for him.
Now, keep in mind, we had a similar policy that we have at The Daily Courier. Letters could be no longer than 250 words. Some of his camp elected not to write to the full length. But, nonetheless, he wanted to argue about the number of words and the inches.
It was at that point, I decided that endorsement letters would no longer be something a newspaper would carry. If you want to get your message out about who you are going to endorse, feel free to put a sign in your yard like everyone else.
Then, there is the question of endorsements through editorials.
I, for one, have never really understood the impact or the need to have a newspaper back a particular candidate. But, I do understand that papers do it and candidates will continue to subject themselves to the interview process.
At The Daily Courier, I wanted to find some kind of a balance. I wasn't necessarily in favor of having the newspaper, itself, endorse a particular candidate in a race, but I also tried to level things out and have some kind of endorsement in the paper.
So, I opened the process to our Editorial Board, of which they answered the call above and beyond my expectation.
The question has already been posed to me as to whether we will change our policy in the next election and my answer is that I really don't know.
People are politically polar in this day of partisanship and, if you are like me, you get tired of hearing about it really fast.
Regardless, I do hope that everyone exercises their right to vote.
But, I will also be glad when tonight's ballots are counted and the cycle comes to an end.

This is the twelfth edition of an introduction to statistics that is widely used in colleges and universities across the U.S. For the most part, it follows a very traditional path through statistics. It aims for a broad audience of students, including those with very limited backgrounds in mathematics. This new edition adds a chapter called "Ethics in Statistics", includes revised examples, exercises and chapter problems, and incorporates some modest reorganization of material. The introduction emphasizes the percentage of problems and exercises that use real data.
The author begins at a very basic level. The first chapter is an introduction to the ideas and concepts of statistics. It also includes, for example, refresher material on converting fractions to decimals and decimals to percentages. Chapters on descriptive statistics, probability, discrete and normal distributions follow. Standard treatments of confidence intervals and hypothesis testing, inferential tests with two samples, and correlation and regression fill out the basic material. Two topics unusual at this level are included near the end; these are introductions to nonparametric tests and statistical process control.
The book overflows in several different ways. It is very long and contains a good deal more material than could be handled in a typical one semester course. The pages of the text are large format and absolutely crammed with text, pictures, graphs and sidelights. It is assembled very professionally, but it is so busy! I could imagine that students might find it hard to focus attention on the main text when there are so many other things on the page.
As full as the book is, there are topics I would like to see even (or perhaps especially) at this introductory level. One of them is exploratory data analysis. There is some discussion of this in Chapter 2, but it is overwhelmed by the other content. Another missing topic is a discussion of Bayesian methods of inference. The text never even mentions them, but uses of these techniques will likely become far more widespread in coming years.
The statistics software that's included on a CD with the book has been well-received by students and it is an important part of the course. As valuable as this software can be, especially in giving the student means to investigate larger sets of real data, there are drawbacks. Although I have never taught a statistics course like one based on this book, I have worked with many people whose statistical training comes from similar books and software. I find that they are often very skilled with the software, but far less skilled (sometimes alarmingly so) with selecting which parts of the software to use and especially with knowing how to interpret the results. It would very quite valuable if the text were to address this particular issue in some detail, even at the expense of inclusion other topics.
Bill Satzer (email@example.com) is a senior intellectual property scientist at 3M Company, having previously been a lab manager at 3M for composites and electromagnetic materials. His training is in dynamical systems and particularly celestial mechanics; his current interests are broadly in applied mathematics and the teaching of mathematics.

State universities are taking steps to fill vacancies in endowed chairs and professorships, for which donors have contributed millions of dollars.
After a Board of Regents report was critical of campuses for having so many unfilled endowed professorships and chairs, board members and regents staff have received notices that campuses are filling the slots or will fill most of them by June 30, the end of the fiscal year.
An October report showed 76 endowed chairs — valued at least $1 million each and some as much as $3 million — and 450 endowed professorships — they are valued at least $100,000 each — were funded by private and state contributions but were unfilled. The report shows 263 (58 percent of those unfilled) have been vacant for at least two years.
If a college or university can raise 60 percent of the cost, the state supplies the other 40 percent when funds are available.

- Zero Net Energy Homes Part 2: Some Beautiful Examples
- Zero Net Energy Homes Part 3 – The Federal R&D Agenda
- Zero Net Energy Homes Part 4 – Honda Accord Versus Solar Panels
- Zero Net Energy Homes Part 5 – Passive Houses
One of the biggest problems for residential solar electricity generation is that it just costs too darn much to install those panels on your roof. Over the next five and ten years this will change significantly as new developments from the labs make it into large-scale production. Eventually houses will be generating all their own electricity using photovoltaics as a matter of course.
But is there a way to think about the cost today that makes the cost even seem reasonable?
Well, if you're thinking about buying a new car, you should read on. Each year you don't buy a new car and continue to drive the one that you've already paid for, you pays for another year of your solar panels. At the end of the loan period (seven years in my example below), you're getting free electricity from a system that increases the value of your home and has another 20 years of life at the minimum. If you'd bought a car, in seven years you'd be driving a rapidly depreciating vehicle that you'd probably have to replace soon.
For my house, after rebates, putting up solar panels today would cost about $22,000. This would be a 4kw system, offsetting about 92% of my electric bill, according to the solar power calculator at
So, $22,000 total cost, $3,000 down payment, $250 monthly - that sounds just about exactly like buying a new car, doesn't it? In fact, if I go to
Netting it out, for each year that I make the decision to buy solar panels versus a new car, I actually save about $170 per month. At the same time, according to the solar power calculator, I eliminate almost four tons of CO2 (worth an additional $320 at the currently accepted value of $80/ton). After seven years, all that electricity will be free to me, for at least the rated life of the panels. And I'll get most or all of the cost of the panels back when I sell my house. When I sell the new Honda, I'll get a lot less than I paid for it.
As an additional note, if you're thinking about buying a new BMW, such as an M3. If you chose a BMW 335i with Sport Package instead, you could put up the solar panels with the difference in cost: 1 BMW M3 = 1 BMW 330i + Sport Package + solar panels. You'd get nearly the same performance - much more than you can effectively use anywhere in the U.S. except on a race track - and you'd offset all the CO2 you'd be generating with your new car.
Definitely let me know if I've convinced you to put up solar panels instead of buying a car this year! Or if you have any other comments on this topic - I'd love to hear from you.

We have been attempting to do solar panels for about 4 years now – you need to figure in this cost…the credit union and the banks say we are too old to make the investment, particularly since we have lost all our retirement funds
My partner was just passed up for a fabulous job, which went to a 35 year old he trained but has little interest in energy efficiency – green, just wants glitz and "design"….We are sure it is because they believe we are too old and too local.
We can win awards in Hong Kong but not even get local work. Hmm
Certainly, but everyone needs to acknowledge that adding Solar in their house is an purchase that could increase the actual value of their residence if / when they choose to sell. With the environment the way it is going we simply cannot dismiss any item that offers 100 % free power at no cost to both the shopper and more significantly the earth!

How is glomerulonephritis treated?
Early glomerulonephritis may not require treatment. In some cases, it spontaneously resolves. For symptomatic glomerulonephritis, treatment depends on the cause of the glomerulonephritis. One of the primary goals of glomerulonephritis treatment is controlling blood pressure to avoid further damage to the kidneys.
Medications for glomerulonephritis
Prescription medications may be used to control or treat the cause of glomerulonephritis including:
- Blood pressure medications, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, which lower blood pressure
- Corticosteroids, such as prednisone or methylprednisone, which control inflammation
- Immunosuppressant drugs, which prevent the immune system from attacking the glomeruli
Other treatments for glomerulonephritis
Other approaches to treating glomerulonephritis are aimed at reducing inflammation of the kidneys and preventing the buildup of waste in the blood. These treatments include:
- Dialysis to remove waste from the blood
- Dietary modification to reduce salt, fluid, protein, or other substances in the blood
- Kidney transplant
- Plasmapheresis to remove antibodies against glomeruli from the blood
- Support groups to help you better deal with the stress of living with glomerulonephritis
What you can do to improve your glomerulonephritis
In order to keep healthy and minimize the effects of glomerulonephritis, you may benefit from:
- Avoiding excessive alcohol consumption
- Avoiding smoking
- Controlling your blood pressure by practicing relaxation techniques
- Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet low in fats
- Exercising regularly
Complementary treatments
Some complementary treatments may help you better deal with glomerulonephritis and its treatments. Complementary treatments are not meant to substitute for traditional medical care. Be sure to notify your doctor if you are consuming nutritional supplements or homeopathic (nonprescription) remedies as they may interact with the prescribed medical therapy.
Complementary treatments may include:
- Acupuncture
- Massage therapy
- Nutritional dietary supplements, herbal remedies, tea beverages, and similar products
- Yoga
What are the potential complications of glomerulonephritis?
While glomerulonephritis may go away on its own or may be mild in some cases, it is usually a progressive disease that can worsen with time, leading to serious complications. Complications of untreated or poorly controlled glomerulonephritis can be serious, even life threatening in some cases. You can help minimize your risk of serious complications by following the treatment plan you and your health care professional design specifically for you. Complications of glomerulonephritis include:
- Chronic hemodialysis
- End stage kidney disease
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Kidney failure
- Glomerulonephritis. PubMed Health, a service of the NLM from the NIH. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001515/.

What is glomerulonephritis?
Glomerulonephritis is an inflammatory disease of the kidneys, specifically the glomeruli. The glomeruli are the part of the kidneys in charge of filtering waste from the bloodstream. Glomeruli can become inflamed for a variety of reasons. Once inflamed, the glomeruli cannot filter waste properly and become leaky, which allows protein and blood to pass into the urine.

What are the symptoms of glomerulonephritis?
Symptoms of glomerulonephritis are usually progressive (worsen over time). They result from the kidneys' inability to filter the blood and an increased leakiness of the glomeruli, which allows waste to build up in the bloodstream and blood and protein to pass into the urine. Sometimes, glomerulonephritis may be symptomless. In other cases, symptoms of glomerulonephritis can be severe and progre... Read more about glomerulonephritissymptoms
What causes glomerulonephritis?
Glomerulonephritis is caused by inflammation of the glomeruli, the
filtering structures within the kidney. Inflammation can arise from a
variety of conditions, often autoimmune and genetic in origin. Exposure
to certain chemicals and infections can also lead to glomerulonephritis.
Sometimes, the precise cause of glomerulonephritis is not known.

Here are our top tips to getting the kind of treatment you deserve.
Tell him to slow downOral sex is great foreplay so get him to slow down and make the most of it! The mistake many men make is diving straight down to your genital area. If you tell him to build up slowly and kiss and lick other parts of your body first, then it will build anticipation and excitement. Point him in the direction of other parts of your body you enjoy being touched, such as your nipples, inner thighs, back, neck... whatever floats your boat.
Change your positionHe doesn't have to be kneeling between your legs to get the best results. One famous method of cunnilingus is called the Kivin method and involves the man kneeling at right angles to your body and with his head lying on your thigh.
Alternatively, why not get your man to lie down on the bed and you climb on top of him facing a wall, so you have something to hold onto/lean on. This means you can control the pressure, pull away if it's too much or get closer if you want it harder. See all of our sex tips to get more ideas.

For MyPhillyGolf.com, 2013 was a year of record growth.
We began our fourth full year of operation determined to build our traffic, our loyal audience and our brand. We did all three. "Page Views," the most basic measure of reach and circulation, jumped from 1.3 million in 2012 to almost 2.3 million in 2013, a 75 percent increase.
"Visits," another telling and crucial indicator, also increased dramatically, from 406,546 in 2012 to 606,312 in 2013, up 50 percent.
In 2013, the seasonal bump in traffic started a month earlier, in March, the early dawn of the golf season in Philadelphia. Not surprisingly, the three biggest months for "page views" and "visits" were June (259,343 page views/63,209 visits), July (330,583/51,420) and August (243,522/71,114).
Our monthly averages were also up significantly, to 188,942 page views and 50,526 visits, impressive statistics for a local/regional niche website that targets one of the most upscale, coveted and difficult-to-reach audiences.
Most heartening, our audience remained loyal while the editor-in-chief was effectively out of commission for the month of July recovering from his second hip replacement surgery in two years.
As the economy continues its show but sure recovery, companies, courses and clubs all strive to ensure that their marketing partnerships produce the best results for the fewest dollars. That's where MyPhillyGolf stands out among other media outlets in the region -- ours is a pure golf audience. Let us be an effective, affordable tool in putting your brand and message in front of your potential customers.
Led by Joe Logan, former longtime Philadelphia Inquirer golf writer, MyPhillyGolf is uniquely positioned to deliver your course, club or company's marketing message to golfers in the region.

Brief Bio:
My areas of expertise include Educational Psychology and Developmental Psychology. I teach core courses for undergraduate students (e.g., Ed Foundations 235, Ed Foundations 380) as well as a graduate level research methods course (Ed Foundations 770). My other post secondary teaching experience includes courses in communicative disorders here at UW Oshkosh, courses in psychology at Lawrence University and courses in cognitive development at Vanderbilt University. My K-12 experience includes teaching at Little Chute High School and directing a summer camp for elementary school-age children in New Hampshire.
