Flowing through ranges of hills and surrounding swampland, the Karawari River is one of numerous tributaries of the great Sepik River, which drains into the north coast of New Guinea. In a series of caves and rock shelters along the upper reaches of the Karawari, the Ewa people kept a remarkable series of woodcarvings. Created and used by Ewa men during their lifetimes, the carvings were kept after their owner's deaths. Preserved in the caves for generations, some of the carvings are between 200 and 400 years old, making them the oldest surviving examples of wood sculpture from New Guinea.
Although there are numerous variations, reflecting the individual visions of the sculptors who created them, the carvings are of three basic types. The first consist of thin, silhouette-like one-legged male figures seemingly made to be viewed in profile. The second are planklike female figures shown in frontal view, and the third small wooden heads mounted on spikes.
While they also practiced agriculture, the Ewa were heavily dependent on hunting for their livelihood. The rich rainforests that surrounded them provided a variety of game, including wild pigs, tree kangaroos, and cassowaries (large ostrichlike birds). The one-legged male figures, called aripa, played a vital part in hunting magic. Representing individual helping spirits, each aripa served as a means by which an Ewa man could maintain contact with, and receive aid from, his helping spirit to bring him success in hunting.
Strikingly different from the one-legged aripa, the planklike two-legged female figures depicted very different subjects. These images were representations of ancient mythical women associated with the founding of the village clans. The small wooden heads also had important female associations, representing the "mother" of the men's ceremonial house where all three types of figures were kept while their owners were alive.
The carvings from the Karawari caves first came to the attention of the wider world about forty years ago when the Ewa, having changed or abandoned their former beliefs, began to bring the carvings out of their caves and offer them for sale to Westerners. As a result, today these remarkable works of art from the Karawari can be seen in museums and private collections throughout the world.

After President Obama's re-election, conservative media figures attacked New Jersey Governor Chris Christie for his praise of the president's leadership following Hurricane Sandy. Their attacks followed News Corp. chief Rupert Murdoch's pre-election statement that Christie would be to blame if Obama won the election.
Yep, the right-wing DC rag that never turned a profit was sold back to Rev. Sun Myung Moon -- the man who believes he is Christ returned to earth (seriously) -- for $1 after more than a year of turmoil.
So, what did right-wing internet types have to say when the Washington Post Co. sold Newsweek for the same price?
Media Research Center founder Brent Bozell issued the following statement:
There's something entirely believable about the Newsweek sale. A left-winger pretending to be centrist sold it to another left-winger pretending to be centrist. Newsweek is a dying magazine because no one wants to read their left-wing propaganda masquerading as 'news.' The $1 price tag, then, is probably just about right.
I haven't been able to find a statement from Bozell yet on the Times' identical sale price. So, if Newsbusters managing editor Ken Shepherd -- who posted Bozell's statement with the note that Newsweek was sold to "the guy from RoboCop Sidney Harman, for a grand total of one dollar" -- has one, let's have it.
Robert Stacy McCain called Newsweek's sale, "Jon Meacham's $1 Legacy" but apparently hasn't had time to write about the identical sale price of the Times.
Hotair had fun at Newsweek's expense too. Under the headline "Good news: Newsweek sold -- for a dollar," Allahpundit wrote:
Technically it's a dollar plus an agreement to assume their huge financial liabilities, but if you throw me an opportunity for a headline that sweet, I'm going to take it every time.
What are Allahpundit's thoughts on the Times' sale price? Crickets as far as I can tell.
I could keep going but you get the picture.
After hackers reportedly stole emails from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU), word of the criminal breach and use of the emails to attempt to undermine the overwhelming consensus on global warming moved from the blogs of climate-change skeptics, where links to the emails were originally posted by anonymous commenters, to foreign media outlets and right-wing political blogs. Media Matters for America tracks the story's movement across the Internet, which took less than two days and culminated in a call by Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) for an investigation into "the IPCC and on the United Nations on the way that they cooked the science to make this thing look as if the science was settled."
Following the release of reportedly stolen emails from the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia, numerous right-wing media figures have attempted to undermine the case for action against global climate change by comparing the scientific consensus that human activity is driving global warming to a "cult." However, as the Union of Concerned Scientists has stated, the scientific understanding of climate change is "based on the work of thousands of scientists from hundreds of research institutions" and "[t]he e-mails provide no information that would affect" this understanding.

Since the 1950's the recreational vehicle market and caravan park industry in Australia have expanded and evolved in tandem. News from the Recreational Vehicle Manufacturers Association (RVMAA) suggests caravan park owners can look forward to busy times ahead.
The number of RV's manufactured in 2010 reached 21,250, the highest annual production since 1980. With around 400,000 caravans, motor homes and camping trailers registered in Australia, we are undoubtedly one of world's most caravan-friendly countries. The freedom and spontaneity of caravanning is represented by the vast array of locations that parks can be found in Australia.
Once regarded as a bit old-fashioned, caravanning is enjoying a resurgence. Seen as a recession proof industry, now has never been a better time to consider purchasing a caravan or mobile park. Resort Brokers Australia caravan park specialist Lindsay Cooper states "The industry is strong. Despite the resulting decline in park numbers, total industry revenue has continued to increase".
Although some Queensland parks took a hit during the summer of natural disasters, they are now promoting the message that they are open for business and looking forward to a bright future. A truly national pastime, 'Caravan Parks for Sale' can be found across Australia. With our years of experience, Resort Brokers is the place to start your search.

Connellsville goalie Clark makes 68 stops in 7-0 loss to Ringgold
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Connellsville goaltender Tom Clark likely will face a lot of pucks this season. On Monday, Clark turned in an all-star level performance in a season-opening game against Ringgold at Rostraver Ice Garden.
Clark made 68 saves, but that wasn't enough to help the Falcons stop the Rams' relentless attack as Ringgold rolled to a 7-0 PIHL Open Division victory.
"We wanted to play our system and put shots on net," Ringgold coach Josh Werner said. "Their goalie played a heck of a game."
Ringgold (1-0) peppered Clark with shots. But Clark remained calm and froze the puck early and often, which was critical because the Falcons needed all the stoppages in play they could get. Connellsville (0-1) entered the game with just eight skaters, meaning time on the bench for everybody was short.
"We had eight skaters, and honestly, we couldn't have asked for more from them," Connellsville coach Josh Snyder said. "They played their hearts out, and I'm real happy with all the skaters."
Connellsville hopes to have a few more able bodies Monday for its home opener against Altoona at the Ice Mine, but against the Rams, it was all the Falcons could do on most shifts just to clear the zone. Ringgold outshot Connellsville, 75-6.
Despite the lopsided shot total, the Falcons were in the game through the first period thanks to Clark. The senior made 24 saves in the first period.
Clark was tough but not invincible. Seven minutes into the game, Ringgold finally broke through. Cullin McGinnis had the first of two goals when he poked in a rebound.
With 5 seconds left in the period, Aaron Major blasted a slap shot past Clark to make it 2-0. Major ripped two more slappers past Clark in the second period for a hat trick.
"He's strong, and he does a lot for us," Werner said. "He's definitely a leader, and we look to him in a lot of situations. He is a great all-around player."
Clark and McGinnis each finished with four points.
Ringgold put the game away with five goals in the second period. In addition to Major's two tallies, McGinnis scored again and Mike Hazel and Alex Nageli also had goals.
Justin Beam had a multi-point night, finishing with two assists. Riley Clineman and Ben Cafeo combined to get the shutout in goal.
"It's huge for us," Werner said. "Last year we were 3-17, so coming out and starting strong is huge and it gives us something to build on."
Ringgold will look for its second win Thursday at Indiana.
For the Falcons, the bright spot was the play of Clark.
"He was phenomenal," Snyder said. "It was really strong goaltending all-around from him. He was making three or four saves at a time that were unbelievable."

What Causes Tides?
SEATTLE - Tides are caused by gravitational pulls primarily from the moon.
As the Moon's gravity tugs on the Earth, it pulls the ocean waters toward the Moon, creating a bulge of water.
There's also a bulge on the exact opposite side of the planet as the Earth is pulled toward the Moon and away from the water. That's where high tide comes from.
Low tide occurs in the two places exactly between the two bulges. Since the Earth rotates, we get two high tides and two low tides per day.
The times shift daily due to the Moon also orbiting around the Earth. The sun's gravity also has an effect on the tides, but the Moon's influence is far greater.

BRACKETT, OSCAR BERNADOTTE (1812–1857). Oscar Bernadotte Brackett, merchant, was born on March 22, 1812, in Salina, Onondaga County, New York. He inherited a fortune in a salt works, then lost it in speculation. He married Emily Wood on May 16, 1832, then finished college in 1833. Brackett came to Texas in 1844 from Syracuse with $20,000 in cash and some merchandising experience. His wife joined him two years later. With Peter Gallagher he purchased goods in New Orleans for a mercantile store in downtown San Antonio. Brackettville was named for him after he set up a supply settlement on the site of that town in 1852 for nearby Fort Clark. His business enterprises included ownership of land in the Fort Clark and Las Moras Creek area and operation of a line of freight wagons between San Antonio and Mexico. Despite the danger of Indians, Brackett and his wife often drove back and forth between San Antonio and Brackettville. Brackett served as an alderman in San Antonio (1847–48) and was a Whig until the party dissolved in 1855, after which he was said to have "cooperated with democracy." He died in San Antonio on December 2, 1857, and was buried in City Cemetery No. 1. He was survived by his wife and four daughters.

Jason Edward Graham's Cut Hand Leads to His Arrest for Attack at Killarney's Pub on Main Street HB
Categories: Crime-iny
That's what happened to an unidentified man of undisclosed age early Monday at Killarney's Pub on Main Street in Huntington Beach: a patron smashed a drinking glass into the lad's grill, causing much bleeding and a severe laceration.
Others at the watering hole managed to flag down a passing Huntington Beach Police foot beat officer around 12:20 a.m. As the victim was treated by Huntington Beach Fire personnel and later taken to Hoag Memorial Hospital in Newport Beach, the cop was told the attacker cut his hand before bolting out the back door of the pub at 209 Main St.
A trail of blood was followed from the alley behind the pub up Fifth Street before it ended.
As the victim was being interviewed at Hoag by cops, another man came into the emergency room around 1 a.m. with a severe cut to his hand. Officers put two and cuts together and determined this must be the attacker.
After Jason Edward Graham received treatment to his hand at Hoag, the 28-year-old Huntington Beach resident was booked into Huntington Beach Jail on an assault with a deadly weapon charge.

FitLinks: Black Pepper Fights Fat?
In May 2012, the top fitness articles ranged from new research that explores the fat fighting abilities of black pepper to how drinking water at meals can help curb appetite and promote better food choices. A particularly important study this month supports the Waist to Height ratio as a more reliable predictor of health than BMI that is now the standard of measuring health across populations.
There were also some very sobering predictions about the state of fitness in the U.S. In one study, scientists predict the number of Americans with diabetes will rise 64% to 53 million by 2025. Another by the CDC predicts 42 percent of Americans will be obese and 11 percent will be severely obese by the year 2030. This means more than 32 million more people will fall into one of these categories costing our healthcare system over $500B.

12 Comments on "FitLinks: Black Pepper Fights Fat?"
Hi Marc, Firstly thanks for all the great tips and such knowledgeable articles. Ive just started (about 2 weeks ago) to try and lean off a bit as i was getting a bit of a belly! Im currently doing strength training (your chest and abs workout) about 3 times a week and running or exercise bike 6 times a week. I am however getting a bit confused by all the diets and low carb/low calorie etc. arguments! On a normal day i have an apple and banana for breakfast, a packet of crisps, apple, salad (normally with either egg, tuna or turkey) and a digestive chocolate bar for lunch. For my evening meal i usually have some kind of veggie meat, lean meat (turkey) or fish with veggies. I've cut out potatoes, rice, bread and pasta. Does it sound like im on about the right lines? Thanks in advance for your help, so confusing to someone who's never even been to the gym!! Dan
Hi Marc – just recently discovered your site and am still working my way through your archives. Really well-written, documented articles – thoughtful and balanced and easy to understand. Question: do you have any plans to write anything specific to women? I ask because many of your entries, especially the strength training ones, seem to be geared towards men. I'd love to see a couple of articles designed for the unique needs and physical attributes of women. Just a thought – thanks!
June 1, 2012 #
Hello Marc. I, some time ago, did an experiment with black pepper. At the time it was just an expeiment. Now, seeing your article on black pepper, I have come to think that black pepper does help burn fat. Thank you for sharing.
June 2, 2012 #
If it's true then I should have about 0% body fat because I put a ton of black pepper on just about everything I eat.
June 3, 2012 #
Hi Marc. I work-out 3x times a week. I do cardiovascular exercises and building muscle exercises the same day. is this wrong? Should I do them separately like I do building muscle exercises 2x's a week and cardiovascular once a week? Is it bad if you workout more then 3x's a week? Or should I do build muscle exercises 3x's a week and cardiovascular exercises 2x's a week. Is it bad If i do cardiovascular exercises and building muscle exercises on the same day?
June 9, 2012 #
ok thanks ill workout 3x's a week, and just do cardio after!! Thanks and I'm sorry I'm so annoying with all these questions I'm trying to get stronger/muscular.
I would get the built lean program but I don't want to use weights becuase, I saw a video and it said that lifting weights widens your heart is that true.
I would get the built lean program but I'm only 15 and I don't have a job, yet so I can't get it.
I'm sorry with all these questions/ being annoying , I'll ask someone else since I'm bothering you, Sorry!
June 10, 2012 #
Hi Marc,
The technical article said that pepper may help. But it is not proven yet. I use black pepper everyday to season food. It's great. But I'm not convinced it helps loose fat.

Matt Horne Is a Fiend for Love in 'Relapse' Video: Watch
For some people, love takes them through a vicious cycle of ups and downs. But even after a relationship has gone sour and the ties have been cut, some may reminisce on the pleasant memories and have a difficult time staying cleaning.
For soul-singer Matt Horne, he's hooked, and he finds himself in the turbulent dilemma in his emotional ballad, "Relapse," and RyanSeacrest.com has the exclusive premiere.
Interwined with forceful metaphors, the piano-driven track is a desperate plea for the high he gets from being in love.
"Just let me relapse / I fall to my knees / my memories on my drugs," he sings. "Have got to be better than these / I don't want the hurt / I've been stuck this war / fighting this battle / but i don't know who i'm fighting for."
"Relapse" is the latest cut off the New Zealand native's acoustic-tinged debut EP Love and War, available for download by clicking here.
Fans can discover Matt by subscribing to his YouTube account, and connecting with him via Facebook and Twitter.

After a long cold day it's so nice to come home to a warm bowl of creamy home-style potato soup! You will feel you walked into one of those delicious local bakeries that serves fresh soup when the aroma of this potato soup begins to fill your home. This is a great comfort food, without an over-indulgence! The flavors in this soup all meld so well together. Many potato soup recipes don't have chicken broth, but I believe they are slightly lacking in flavor. I've also tried this soup with something slightly daring, nutmeg. It was wonderful! It just adds a bit more flavor from that lovely warm little spice. I enjoy it both ways so if you want to be a little daring try a spoon with a tiny sprinkle of nutmeg and if you fall in love add it too the whole pot of soup! Enjoy!
- 6 cups peeled and diced Russet potatos (about 5 medium potatos)
- 2 large carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 (15 oz) cans chicken broth (I use low-sodium)
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 3/4 tsp salt
- Pepper to taste
- 1/8-1/4 tsp nutmeg to taste (optional)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup shredded ham
- 3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 3 green onions, diced
- Combine diced potatoes, carrots, celery and onions with chicken broth in a large stockpot. Cover and simmer over medium high heat about 25-30 minutes until potatoes are nearly soft when poked with a fork. Reduce heat to low. In a medium saucepan melt butter over medium heat, add flour and whisking constantly cook for 1 minute. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly cook until mixture begins to thicken. Season with salt, pepper and optional nutmeg. Add thickened milk mixture to potato soup mixture. Cook potato soup over low heat until potatoes begin to slightly break down and thicken soup, about 15 minutes. Add sour cream and mix will. Ladle warm soup into serving bowls, top each serving with ham, cheddar cheese and green onions.

Kaiser principal put on paid leave pending DOE investigation
By Star-Advertiser staff
POSTED: 06:45 p.m. HST, Sep 25, 2013
Kaiser High School Principal John Sosa has been placed on paid leave as the Department of Education conducts an investigation.
It's unclear what the investigation entails.
"The department has initiated an internal investigation, and at the appropriate time, we will comment," DOE spokeswoman Donalyn Dela Cruz said today in an emailed statement.
Sosa, who has led the Hawaii Kai school since 2008, could not be reached for comment this evening.
He was nominated in May by the Hawaii Association of Secondary School Administrators for the 2014 MetLife/NASSP High School Principal of the Year award. The group cited Sosa's efforts introducing the prestigious International Baccalaureate program at the school and boosting the number of students taking Advanced Placement courses.Click here to download our mobile app for your iOS and Android device.

What Does the Better Building Institute Do, and Why?
Everyone wants to live in a house that is safe, healthy and inexpensive to run. While the building materials and methods used in the last century were (almost) adequate for the normal weather conditions of that period, we are now experiencing a new normal: weather conditions are getting more severe and are causing more damage to our homes every year. Far too often, we hear about (or experience) weather-related damage or loss of homes, and sometimes even lives, due to a tornado, hurricane, flood, wildfire, extreme cold or heat, or even a massive oil spill or gas explosion. In some cases, even the availability of energy is threatened by those same weather conditions, leaving many people without heating or cooling when they need it the most. At the same time, the energy we need to heat or cool our homes is becoming more expensive and risky to our health and safety, because of spills, fires or explosions involving these dirty and highly combustible energy sources.
But there are ways to prepare for the 'New Normal', by building better structures that are more sustainable and resilient to severe weather and other disasters. Over the last few decades many advances in construction have been made, resulting in homes that have stood up to Katrina, Sandy, the Midwest tornados, and even fire, water or insect damage.
And as we build them stronger, we can also make them more energy-efficient, using the same construction and weatherization practices. The result is huge savings in utility costs, and in the case of new construction, the total elimination of energy needed for heating or cooling during most - if not all - of the seasons.
This is why the Better Building Institute was founded in 2003, initially as RiverBend Home Inspections in Alton, Illinois, serving the greater St. Louis metropolitan area. In 2009 the name was changed in the process of becoming a non-profit corporation, while adding new services: teaching and consulting for homeowners to help them improve the performance of their home, or help them build a zero-energy new one. Of course, home inspections are still offered, as well as inexpensive energy assessments with a blower-door test. After more than forty years of study or experience in high-performance construction and energy-efficiency, if BBI doesn't have a solution to your problem, we can help you find one.
Please check out the headings above and to the left, and learn more about BBI's services. Feel free to call or email us if you have any questions. We are a publicly-funded non-profit group, and if you feel we have helped you, please help us with an appropriate donation, all of which will be used to cover our operating expenses.
The most important reason that we do this: We believe that helping you save energy will also help save the Earth from climate change, by cutting fossil fuel use and reducing everyone's carbon footprint. If everyone were to follow our advice to eliminate their home's carbon emissions, we could reduce global warming by more than half!

On the theme of Gauntlet
A Primer for Imaginary Theft
For starters, smuggle sunset in through the fingernails; keep in a straightjacket in your throat.
Speak soft as liturgy with glint-spindled tongue. Elbows are for ghosts, who crave corners, so prey
cautious sparing the angles shaved off in your sleep. Discordant melody may ascend the hip without
a winged invitation. Swallowing harmonies through the bellybutton is best. Concoct heirlooms for
safe circumnavigation of shame, taking lantern breaths for each darkly hiss of dust-bile. Form
invisible bridges on your molars to pass a stolen sky through the system. Clouds are made malleable
in the language of rain & makeshift rafts. Remember that laughter dissolves chalk-like in an
eardrum, ferreting through the impossibly pink ductwork of memory, which is a giant mollusk. Faith
catches fairly fast in the toes but not without the inherent risk of infecting footfalls, stammering a
well-timed step with God's grisly sunspots. Rig eyelids with heavy nets to intercept affection's glass
architecture. Beauty builds its nest on the nipples, for doves to teethe & dig out & bury their
rage. Apocalypse rests along the ribcage in tiny teepees, anarchy somewhere in the spine. The lot of
wrath rots in the nape of the necks of dead lovers everywhere. For enders, to embezzle forever requires the cleanest choreography; to swindle infinity, one sharp-enough knife

While attending graduate school in Portland, Oregon, Lina Menard didn't rent an apartment or live in a dorm. Instead, she lived in a tiny house. During her tiny home tenure, Lina has learned to live and love tiny spaces. Lina became a tiny-house advocate, organizing tours of small homes, learning about the regulatory barriers of tiny home acceptance, and interning at PAD and Orange Splot, where she helped build tiny houses.

After spending almost a year in a 120-square-foot tiny home, Lina has a good idea of how to live well in a small space. "I think one of the biggest lessons I've learned is that I'm much happier when I live with just the things I like best. My relationship to stuff has shifted dramatically over the past year and a half. I'm much less materialistic than I used to be. But I really appreciate the little touches, too. It's not about deprivation, but about intension," Lina told me.
Lina's tiny home includes a sleeping loft that she shares with her cat, Raffi. Photo credit Lina Menard, used with permission from her blog, thisisthelittlelife.com.
When you're measuring square inches rather than feet, every detail counts. Lina's tiny home features a dining room table that expands to fit guests, a window seat that doubles as extra seating for big meals, and lots of windows to let in natural light. Every single possession Lina has in the home has to serve a purpose, but she doesn't mind: "It's liberating to not feel tied to stuff," she told OR Magazine.
Embed video with Lina's tiny house:
She recognizes that tiny-home living isn't for everyone, but thinks there's a way to broaden its appeal: the "cohousing" model, where tiny homes would be coupled with shared kitchens, laundry facilities, guest rooms, and even amenities like barbeques, workshops, and gardens. "Tiny cohousing would just push the envelope," Lina writes in her blog. "People who lived in a tiny house community would have access to all these things, but they wouldn't have to own all these things themselves," she explains. Continue reading

|Measurement and validity of the ventilatory threshold in patients with congenital heart disease.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 8778709 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The purpose of the present study was to measure oxygen uptake (VO2) at the ventilatory threshold (VT) in patients with congenital heart disease using a progressive exercise protocol on a treadmill and to evaluate the validity and feasibility of this procedure. Eight control subjects and seventeen patients performed a maximal exercise test with breath-by-breath measurement of ventilation and gas exchange variables. VT(VE) was determined by the change in the ventilatory equivalent for VO2 and carbon dioxide output, VT(V-sl) by the V-slope method, and the lactate threshold (LT) by the change in blood lactate concentration; these parameters were determined in 100%, 88%, and 96% of subjects, respectively. The interobserver error among three evaluators was not significant, and LT was correlated with each VT (r = 0.97, 0.92; p = 0.0001) and with peak VO2 (r = 0.91; p = 0.0001). The VTs were correlated with each other when expressed as milliliter per minute and milliliters per kilogram per minute. It was concluded that a progressive exercise protocol on a treadmill was a feasible procedure for determining the VTs in most individuals and that VTs were valid, useful parameters for evaluating submaximal exercise tolerance in patients with congenital heart disease.

They seem to good to be true (some of them)
I have used them for quite a few things. I really like them.
I have used them and Living Social, usually for places like laser tag, paintball and stuff for the kids. Once you buy it you will get an email telling you when it's ready. Then you either print it or you can show the place the groupon on your phone. Make sure you read the fine print before you buy and know your prices, sometimes you can get the same deal if you go on a certain day or something and don't need to buy the groupon, but other times they are really good deals.

Facebook's New Power Player
As the social network grows, does its responsibility to use energy wisely also increase? Facebook's energy czar, Bill Weihl, has the answers.
Clean concept: An sculpture carved from ice celebrates Facebook's plans to build a data center in Lulea, Sweden, that will be powered by hydroelectricity.
How much electricity does sharing a photo on Facebook take? How much carbon does it put into the atmosphere?
Facebook doesn't reveal how much energy it uses. But overall, the vast computer farms that handle Internet data now use up 1.3 percent of the electricity generated globally. Facebook's energy use has been growing particularly fast. It processes more than 250 million photo uploads each day, and some two million "like"s and comments every minute.
Energy is foremost a competitive issue for Facebook. The computers, facilities, personnel, and electricity needed to keep your profile up to date, and available anywhere, are the company's largest single expense. That's one reason Facebook began to design and build more energy-efficient server farms from scratch. Its first data center, opened last April in Prineville, Oregon, uses 38 percent less energy than other facilities to do the same work, according to the company.
Still, the data center has a capacity to draw 28 megawatts of power. That is about as much as everything else in Crook County (population 26,000), where it's located. What's more, the power comes from a utility that burns coal to make energy. A coal-powered social network? In the image-conscious tech world, green credibility matters. It wasn't long before Greenpeace turned Facebook into the target of an aggressive "Unfriend Coal" campaign that garnered 181,000 "likes" on Facebook's own Web pages.
All of this is why Bill Weihl is important. The computer scientist was named a "hero of the environment" by Time magazine in 2009 for his work at Google, where he served as clean-energy chief until January. Now Facebook has recruited Weihl to be its own point man on energy at a critical time. The company is expanding its Prineville facility and is building two more data centers—one in North Carolin, and another in Sweden, which will use hydroelectricity. More are to come as the network marches toward the billion-user mark, which it is likely to hit this year.
Business editor Jessica Leber spoke with Weihl, whose title is manager of energy efficiency and sustainability, to learn whether the social network will try to reduce its use of fossil fuels and help its users cut down as well.
TR: What's exciting about your job?
Weihl: It's been enormously fun digging in and learning how the systems are put together here. Facebook is leading the world in data-center energy efficiency. But we're just beginning to get our heads around how to green our energy supply. We're connected to the same grid as everyone else, and our energy mix is not that different from the U.S. grid. We'd like it to be cleaner over time. We'd like it to be cheaper over time. We'd like to find ways to make that happen that isn't only about greening the electrons that flow into our facilities, but is about greening the grid as a whole. I don't have the answers to that yet. But that's really the goal.
How much energy does Facebook use in a day?
We haven't disclosed that yet. Once we're past the IPO, we plan to be significantly more transparent, obviously, than we have been to date. We're working on figuring out what we can disclose and how to do it. This being Facebook, it'll be sort of an iterative, experimental process.
A campaign by Greenpeace against Facebook's first data center ended in December when your company agreed to "prefer" future data-center sites that use renewable power. What did Facebook agree to and why?
Greenpeace saw Facebook's announcement a couple of years ago about putting the data center in Prineville, Oregon. It's in an area where coal is a relatively high percentage of the fuel mix. Greenpeace put a lot of pressure on Facebook. They made a lot of noise about it. They just don't want to see that happen at all.
What Facebook agreed to do wasn't really about Greenpeace. It was about what's important to us. We look at a lot of sites and, all other things being equal, we will pick the one with cleaner power. But there are also business needs around finding sites with adequate power, finding sites where the cost structure works, finding sites that can be built out in a time frame that matters for the business.

Campbell, Walker pace Lady Falcons
Colfax High Girls Basketball
Cassandra Campbell and Michelle Walker combined offensive and rebounding prowess Monday night to help lift the Colfax Lady Falcons to a non-league basketball win. With Campbell and Walker each connecting for 12 points, the Lady Falcons built an 11 point halftime advantage and ended up cruising to a 62-40 win over host Casa Roble. Colfax, now 4-6 on the season, led 12-7 after one quarter of action and then extended it to 26-15 at halftime before putting the Rams away with a 36-25 second half point exchange. The Campbell-Walker duo also combined for 14 rebounds with Campbell grabbing eight and handing out four assists. Also having a hand in the win were April Littlejohn, who added 10 points and Audrey Lewis, who finished with nine points and six assists. Rounding out the scoring for the winners were Kacey Capuchino with six points, Lindsay Larson with five, Emily Colon with four and Erika Heikila and Cathy Hinrichs with two points each. In last weekend's Del Oro Lady Eagle Tournament, the Colfax girls went 1-2 to finish in fourth place. Colfax opened the tournament with a 37-36 win over Rio Americano. A late free throw by Campbell proved to be the winning margin of victory for the Lady Falcons. Lewis topped Colfax's scoring as she meshed 21 points. Meanwhile, Capuchino and Littlejohn added five points each and Walker led in rebounding with five. Colfax then played eventual tournament champion Del Oro and hung with the hosts for a half before falling, 63-46. Campbell and Lewis scored nine points each for the Lady Falcons. In a low-scoring third place game on Saturday, Colfax fell to Pleasant Valley of Chico, 31-21. Capuchino, Campbell and Lewis each scored five points for Colfax. Colfax will open play Monday in the 16-team Folsom tournament. The Lady Falcons will face Elk Grove at 10:30 a.m.

1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
700g/1lb 9oz good quality beef mince
2 red chillies, finely chopped
2 tbsp flatleaf parsley, roughly chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 short, thick slices Monterey Jack cheese (or strong cheddar)
4 burger buns, split in half
400ml/14fl oz vegetable oil, for deep frying
2 large baking potatoes, cut into 5cm/2½in long strips
2 Little Gem lettuces, leaves separated
2 tomatoes, thickly sliced
For the burger, heat a frying pan until hot, add the olive oil and onion and cook until the onion is softened, but not coloured. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
Place the beef mince, chillies, flatleaf parsley, salt and freshly ground black pepper and cooled cooked onion into a large bowl and mix thoroughly.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Wrap each portion of burger mixture around a piece of the cheese and mould to form a burger shape. Be careful that no cheese is exposed.
Heat a griddle pan until hot, add the burgers and cook for 4-6 minutes on each side, or until the meat is just cooked through. Remove from the pan and leave to rest in a warm place for 2-3 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the burger buns cut side-down onto the griddle pan and toast for one minute, until hot.
For the skinny fries, heat the oil in a deep heavy-based pan until a breadcrumb sizzles and turns brown when dropped into it. (CAUTION: Hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)
Add the potato strips to the oil in batches and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until golden-brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain onto kitchen paper.
For the chilli sweetcorn relish, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the corn on the cobs and boil for 7-8 minutes, or until tender.
Drain the corn on the cobs and allow to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, slice the kernels off the cob into a bowl.
Add the butter and chilli and mix well until the butter has melted. Sprinkle with lime juice and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
To serve, place the bottom half of each bun onto a plate. Top each with some Little Gem leaves and a couple of tomato slices, then add a burger. Top each burger with the other half of the bun.
Place a handful of fries alongside and finish with a spoonful of the chilli sweetcorn relish.
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Gov.-elect Steve Beshear's communications
director may have a conflict of interest because his public relations firm represents organizations that have ties to state government.
Phil Osborne agreed to step down temporarily as chief executive
officer of the Lexington-based marketing and research firm
Preston-Osborne to take the post with Beshear.
But Osborne said in an interview Tuesday that, even though he
will give up his salary from Preston-Osborne, he will retain his
ownership of the firm and intends to return to his previous
position after at least six months in state government.
Meanwhile on Wednesday, Beshear appointed four more key
advisers: Helen Mountjoy of Owensboro as education secretary, J.
Michael Brown of Louisville as justice secretary, Air National
Guard Gen. Edward W. Tonini of Louisville as adjutant general of
the Kentucky National Guard and Rodney Brewer of Ballardsville as
Kentucky State Police commissioner.
Preston-Osborne works for at least 36 clients, some of which are
regulated by, receive funding from or seek contracts with state
The firm also works for the Kentucky Equine Education Project, a
coalition of horse owners and breeders that, among other causes,
supports casino gambling - an issue poised to be the most
hot-button political debate in 2008.
The firm also represents Taylor Manor Nursing Home, East
Kentucky Power and Big Rivers Electric Cooperative, all of which
are regulated by state agencies; the University of Kentucky College
of Medicine and UK Healthcare, and a state road contractor.
Ellen Hesen, Beshear's incoming general counsel, will submit a
formal request for an opinion to the state ethics commission before
its next meeting scheduled for Dec. 14 - three days after Beshear
is inaugurated, said Vicki Glass, Beshear's spokeswoman.
Osborne said his move to state government will depend on what
the commission decides.
"If they say it is a problem, we have a choice to make. If not,
it's business as usual," he said.
And if it comes down to choosing, Osborne said he would likely
return to his firm, which will be run by Ellen Gregory in his
"My first loyalty is to the company," Osborne said. "As much
as I like Steve and I want to help him, I need to do what's best
for the company."
Osborne, whose state salary hasn't been set yet, said he agreed
with Beshear to re-evaluate every six months whether his services
in the administration are needed.

Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills Travel Guide
It's now become a Southern California chainlet, but this original Kitson location was what started the phenomenon.
The Paley Center is a repository of nearly 100 years of television and radio history that aims to examine the relationship between these art forms, as well as emerging media platforms, and society.
ABH stands for "Above Beverly Hills," and this hot insider rooftop lounge really does feel above it all.
This old-fashioned chocolate shop has been handcrafting candies for the stars since 1942.
Perched on the rooftop of the Thompson Hotel with a 360-degree view of Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, this bi-level bar owned by hotelier Jason Pomeranc (the Hollywood Roosevelt) and designed by Dodd Mitchell is only open to members and hotel guests.
This six-acre estate, renowned as the first luxury home in Beverly Hills, was constructed in 1911 and has been preserved in order to allow visitors the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of the likes of Fred Astaire, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and many other aristocrats of the day.
Production assistants and their former-USC sorority sisters flock to the amber-colored bar at the newly renovated Sofitel—once a forgotten overnight spot, but back in vogue after a $40 million renovation and relaunch by Rande Gerber in June 2006.
This lobby bar in Beverly Hills' Maison 140 hotel has lounge seating, a black, white, and red color scheme by designer Kelly Wearstler, and Parisian antiques. There is a continental breakfast service in the morning, with choices like granola and pastries.
In this refined lounge's Golden Age heyday, the Rat Pack and young ingenues like Marlene Dietrich and Elizabeth Taylor gathered here for both romance and dealmaking.
Tucked away on the fifth-floor roof garden of the Peninsula Beverly Hills Hotel lies The Peninsula Spa. Relaxation and high-end pampering await just beyond the heated rooftop pool and outdoor cabanas.
The Beverly Hilton Hotel's lobby bar, named for the year the hotel opened, is the place to go to party like a celebrity (or at least see one). Ask for the Campari-laced Negroni here and it will come garnished with an orange and lemon twist.
Arty male style-setters frequent this tiny haberdashery (the antithesis of the Vegas-size Beverly Center mall a few blocks west) for its hip, idiosyncratic menswear. Owner Alessandro Tomassetti's line of architecturally inspired dress shirts is popular with local designers.

YouTube signs deal to get Warner music videos
updated 03:05 pm EDT, Mon September 18, 2006
YouTube Warner Videos
Many thought YouTube ambitious when it declared that it would catalog every music video ever made in its massive collection. Nevertheless, the video host's efforts have borne fruit today by means of a deal signed with Warner Music. The agreement will see videos by major artists such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers appear legally on the site; the music label intends to take advantage of the deal by using it to distribute interviews and original content. User-submitted content, often cited as the key to YouTube's success, will be able to use Warner artists' music legally without fees or common legal barriers. The move is likely to pave the way for similar developments in the near future.
