So I have 3 divs which animate open and close when clicked on. I want it to simultaneously open the clicked on div while keeping the other two closed. If another one is clicked, it will open that one while closing the others to their original size.
Right now I have the functionality mostly working. They open and close properly and the images, when they are 100 by 100, disappear when clicked on, which is good. However, sometimes the images DON'T get hidden and look pretty gross. I can't seem to figure out why this would happen. It's like it skips over the hide() and goes straight to the animate. No firebug errors are thrown so I'm a little stumped. Help? Here's the code snippet. Also, a link to what it looks like when it messes up.
code: (it's a rough draft so be nice :). This is my first time coding something for fun and out of a work environment so any tips help also!)
Ninja edit: I've both tried having a delay() and not having a delay() to extremes and doesn't seem to help at all. :(
function openDiv(divPosition) {
if(divPosition == "top") {
$("#home, #midDivContent, #botDivContent").hide().delay(1000);
$("#topDiv").animate({"height": "500px", "width": "950px"}, "slow");
$("#midDiv").animate({"height": "100px", "width": "100px"}, "slow");
$("#botDiv").animate({"height": "100px", "width": "100px"}, "slow", function() {$("#contactMe, #aboutMe").show();$("#topDivContent").fadeIn("fast");});
} else if (divPosition == "mid") {
$("#aboutMe, #topDivContent, #botDivContent").hide().delay(1000);
$("#midDiv").animate({"height": "500px", "width": "950px"}, "slow");
$("#topDiv").animate({"height": "100px", "width": "100px"}, "slow");
$("#botDiv").animate({"height": "100px", "width": "100px"}, "slow",function() { $("#home, #contactMe").show();$("#midDivContent").fadeIn("fast");});
} else if (divPosition == "bot") {

WASHINGTON -The nation's postal unions strongly protested the Postal Service's latest cutback plans, which would close hundreds of distribution centers and lengthen delivery times. The USPS announced its cuts would be open for public comment, but the last line of its statement says it will go ahead with the cuts, anyway.
The cuts, which the agency calculated would save $2.1 billion annually, would shutter just over half of the agency's 487 distribution and processing centers nationwide and cost thousands of workers their jobs.
The cuts would also slow delivery of all types of mail, with first-class letters taking a minimum of two days to get from where they're mailed to their destination, rather than - in some cases - overnight. Periodicals could take up to nine days.
While the USPS must put its cuts out for public notice and comment, it contends the changes will "have minimal impact" on most customers. And the last line of its fact sheet says 90 days after it sent its proposals to the Postal Rate Commission -- which can issue "an advisory opinion" on them -- management can make the cuts anyway, regardless of what the panel or the public thinks. It announced the cuts on Dec. 5.
Letter Carriers President Fredric Rolando said slowing the mail and closing the distribution centers would only make things worse for the financially strapped USPS.
"We are very concerned about the proposal to reduce delivery standards. High-quality service is essential to preserving the value of our networks and to any future growth strategy. Degrading standards not only hurts the public and the businesses we serve, it's also counter-productive for the Postal Service because it will drive more people away from using the mail," he said.
"Changes in service need to be part of a coherent business plan that takes advantage of new opportunities, such as delivering the items people increasingly order online. We urge the Postal Regulatory Commission to review the proposal carefully and act to protect the long-term viability of America's Postal Service," he concluded.
Postal Workers President Clifford Guffey demanded Congress step in to stop the plans. But he admitted lawmakers are instead going in the other direction. "The USPS should be modernizing and striving to remain relevant in the digital age, not reducing service to the American people," he said in a prepared statement. "Degrading service is a direct consequence of Postal Service plans to eliminate half of its mail processing centers. Dismantling the Postal Service's processing and distribution network will devastate mail service, damage the economy, and drive customers away."

Forty-year-old university professor Stuart Treece is rather set in his ways, and in the midst of the changing attitudes of the 50s, his encounters with the younger generation are making him feel decidedly alien. When he falls disastrously in love with one of his students all his efforts to acclimatize are hilariously undermined.
Timeless and brilliant, Eating People is Wrong is Malcolm Bradbury's first novel, and established him as a master of satire.
Genre: Fiction
Published: 12/09/2012
<p style="\"margin-top:" 0\"="">Malcolm Bradbury was a well-known novelist, critic and academic. He co-founded the famous creative writing department at the University of East Anglia, whose students have included Ian McEwan and Kazuo Ishiguro. His novels are Eating People is Wrong (1959); Stepping Westward (1965); The History Man (1975), which won the Royal Society of Literature Heinemann Prize; Rates of Exchange (1983), which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize; Cuts (1987); Doctor Criminale (1992); and To the Hermitage (2000). He wrote several works of non-fiction, humour and satire, including Who Do You Think You Are? (1976), All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go (1982) and Why Come to Slaka? (1991). He was an active journalist and a leading television writer, responsible for the adaptations of Porterhouse Blue, Cold Comfort Farm and many TV plays and episodes of Inspector Morse, A Touch of Frost, Kavanagh QC and Dalziel and Pascoe. He was awarded a knighthood in 2000 for services to literature and died later the same year.

The End of Literature
The rapid rise of "trigger warnings" is starting to impact literature curriculums.

Columbia refused to include warnings, but essentially capitulated by expunging the text from its curriculum entirely....more

God Help the Mother
Her name becomes shorthand for a republic of women and black artists with "no home in this place" to borrow a phrase from Morrison's Nobel lecture, people who create, reclaim and celebrate art that is intent on offering something of use back to the people whom it illuminates.
Riding With the Queen
Over at the New York Times, Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah profiles Toni Morrison in a tremendous essay:
Morrison is a woman of guardrails and many boundaries; she keeps them up in order to do the work. The work "protects," she told me.
Toni Morrison, Resplendent Orchid
Toni Morrison was honored at this year's National Book Critics Circle award ceremony, and Rita Dove's remarks capture Morrison's ongoing legacy beautifully.

Diverse Books by the Numbers
Over at FiveThirtyEight, Amy Rothschild explores the #WeNeedDiverseBooks campaign, and the many strategies advocates are using to make a lasting change in the landscape of children's literature. While 2014 showed a hopeful bump in books penned by and depicting people of color, institutional challenges will likely make change a slow process; Rothschild cites an overwhelmingly white publishing industry, executives dubious of the market for "niche" books, and strapped budgets of the schools and libraries that once wielded major influence on overall sales....more
Stop Worrying About What Comes Next
At The Millions, Jonathan Russell Clark analyzes several last sentences from well-known novels by Hemingway, Tolstoy, Morrison, and Roth. He pays particular attention to the craftsmanship necessary to write these sentences, and considers how last sentences work to reinforce larger themes within a novel:
For writers, the last sentences aren't about reader responsibility at all — it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to stop worrying about what comes next, because nothing does.
Toni Morrison's new story, "Sweetness," offers a glimpse into her upcoming novel God Save the Child. With her signature raw, haunting honesty, Morrison delves into the ways family can simultaneously love and hate, protect and harm:
Oh, yeah, I feel bad sometimes about how I treated Lula Ann when she was little.
Chipotle: The Next New Yorker?
Last year Jonathan Safran Foer teamed up with Chipotle to create a line of cups and to-go bags with short stories by Toni Morrison and George Saunders printed on the side.

Paradise Locked
In anticipation of this past week's Hay Festival, fiction luminary Toni Morrison wrote an essay for The Telegraph examining the concept of paradise as it relates to race and class.

Morrison and Díaz on Writing, Editing, and Race
We're all very excited about the new Beyoncé album (especially the track featuring Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie), but there's another must-hear event for literary types: a Live from the New York Public Library conversation between Junot Díaz and Toni Morrison.

Governor Pat McCrory signed legislation authorizing a $21.1 billion budget for North Carolina state government. The governor signed the bill this morning at the executive mansion.
"This budget reflects a pragmatic and thoughtful approach to managing taxpayer dollars," Governor McCrory said. "It provides raises for our teachers, highway patrol officers, court employees and a cost of living increase for retirees and preserves Medicaid eligibility standards. This budget will continue to fuel North Carolina's economic comeback."
The governor thanked his budget team and legislative leaders for making some very tough decisions during difficult economic times.

Welcome to this European Newsletter dedicated to animal and plant species.
Just a few weeks ago, the latest update of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species declared the Western Black Rhino extinct. Can you imagine a dry savannah and rhinos roaming on it? Forget it, it is gone forever.
But what is happening in Europe? Are species surviving in our increasingly industrialized and urban world?
Europe's natural heritage is showing an alarming decline, according to new research published today. The European Red List, a part of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™, assessed a considerable portion of Europe's native fauna and flora, finding that a large proportion of molluscs, freshwater fish and vascular plants now fall into a threatened category.
"I am proud to support the development of the European Red List of Species. Excellent work!" With these words EU Commissioner for the Environment Janez Potočnik addressed a red crowd gathered for the launch of the European Red List on 21 November at the Berlaymont building in Brussels. To show their commitment to biodiversity participants were asked to wear something red.
This small fish is endemic to the subalpine lake Ammersee in the south of Germany. It is one of many species of whitefish that are endemic to one or few lakes in Europe. More than 100 years ago, it was a species of commercial importance; today, only one or two individuals are caught each year.
The assessment to which you contributed revealed that freshwater molluscs are the most threatened group, among those considered, in Europe. Why are molluscs in such a bad conservation status?
"Freshwater molluscs in Europe have very high levels of endemism, as the Mediterranean region is one of the top 15 hotspots in the world for this group of organisms. Many of the very range restricted species are found in small freshwater springs or the groundwater systems that feed these springs."
In the next three years, IUCN will assess the status of two species groups which are fundamental to our well-being: pollinators and medicinal plants. These species play an essential role in delivering key ecosystem services and supporting livelihoods.
Giant "Mountain Chicken" frogs, the 25 million bird island, and a rainforest the size of Portugal are increasingly threatened by the impacts of climate change and in need of greater protection, according to a new report published by IUCN.

This application is a divisional application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/112,183, filed Apr. 22, 2005 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,394,452, entitled "COMPUTING DEVICE FOR DISPLAYING CONTENT IN PAGES OR IN SEQUENCE," which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/854,316, filed May 11, 2001, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,943,773, entitled "PAGE FLICKING MECHANISM FOR ELECTRONIC DISPLAY DEVICES THAT PAGINATE CONTENT," all of the aforementioned priority applications being hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
The present invention relates to displays for computer devices. In particular, the present invention pertains to a page flicking mechanism for a display of a computer device.
Flexible display technology is an advancing area in the field of computing devices. Many applications are being planned and designed to incorporate flexible display technology. Currently, products described as "electronic paper" or "e-paper" are being integrated with computing tablets, handheld computers and other computing devices. Consumer applications for flexible display technology includes electronic books and magazines.
Electronic book applications are currently popular for computing devices such as handheld computers and laptops. In general, electronic books are documents formatted to be paginated on the display of the computing device. A user can scroll the display to view different portions of the same page. The user can also select to view other pages. To make selections for other pages, the user typically has to select a user-interactive feature, such as an icon on the display, or a mechanical button. The page that appears after the user's selection coincides with a page stored as the next or adjacent page to the existing page appearing on the display. If the user wishes to scroll through many pages, the user is required to make repeated entries into the user-interactive feature, or perhaps make one sustained entry.
A computing device is provided that is capable of displaying paginated content on a display. A deflective input mechanism is incorporated with the computing device. A user can deflect the input mechanism to signal a page flick. A processor of the computing device configures the pagination appearing on the display in response to the deflection of the input mechanism.
The processor may cause the display to present several pages of the content in succession as the response to the deflection of the input mechanism. The pages appearing on the display may also skip with reference to a predetermined order of each page in the paginated content.
The deflective input mechanism may be integrated or otherwise include the display of the computing device. In one embodiment, the display is formed of flexible "electronic paper", to enable bending or flexing by the user. A sensor of the input mechanism may measure a deflection of the display in order to signal the processor a deflection value. To accommodate the display, other components of the computing device, such as the PCB, the digitizer and the housing, may also be deflectable.
Another embodiment may include a deflective sensor device that is coupleable to one of the flexible components of the computing device. The sensor device may be integrated with a deflective housing or PCB to measure the deflection caused by the user.
Embodiments of the invention are illustrated by way of example, and not by way of limitation, in the figures of the accompanying drawings. Like reference numerals are intended to refer to similar elements among different figures.
Embodiments of the invention describe a page flicking mechanism for a computing device that displays paginated content. In the following description, for the purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the present invention.
Embodiments of the invention provide a page flicking mechanism for a computing device that displays paginated content. In an embodiment, a display of the computing device includes a plurality of discrete elements, such as pixels. A memory is used to store a data collection. The data collection is arranged or otherwise identifiable as a plurality of pages. The pages of the data collection are arranged in a pre-selected order, and are each individually presentable on the display. The computing device includes a processor that is configured to retrieve the pages from the memory. The processor is also configured to signal each of the pages for presentation on the display. A sensor device is coupled to the processor. The sensor device is deflectable to signal the processor a deflection value when deflected. The deflection value causes the processor to sequentially present all or some of the multiple pages, in a sequential and individual manner.
A display may include any device that responds to electrical signals to output an image. An image presented on the display may be a partial, complete, or approximate rendering of data stored for that page.
When multiple pages are sequentially presented, portions of the display render an image from each of the multiple pages in a sequence, so that one page may follow another on a portion of the display. It is possible that an area of the display presents portions of multiple pages concurrently and in a sequential manner. For example, groups of discrete elements of the display may be assigned values from one of the multiple pages, and then a next, while another group of discrete elements are static.
As used herein, reference to deflection means any type of bending, deformation or movement by a structure that noticeably alters its shape. In one embodiment, deflection refers to a cantilevering movement of one end of a structure relative to another.
The display 20 may be a form of electronic paper. Electronic paper refers to a flexible display, used for applications such as electronic books. An example of electronic paper for use with embodiments of the invention includes conductive plastic substrates combined with organic transistors, manufactured jointly by E Ink Corp. and Lucent Technologies (see Electronic Paper Writes New Chapter for Displays; Brown, C.; EETimes.com, Nov. 30, 2000; hereby incorporated by reference). Another example of electronic paper includes gyricon substrates, manufactured by Xerox.
As will be described in greater detail, the display 20 can be deflected to enable a user to enter an input. The deflection entered by the user causes the pagination being presented on the display 20 to be altered. Specifically, an embodiment provides that a region 22 of display 20 sequentially presents other pages based on the deflection of display 20. The display region 22 may be centrally disposed on display 20 where the deflection is least impairing to the user. The sequential presentation of the pages on display region 22 provides the appearance of page flicking.
The computing device 100 may be configured to measure the magnitude of the deflection and to correlate the magnitude with a characteristic of the page flicking. A larger magnitude flexing of display 20 may signal rapid page flicking, and possible skipping of intermediate pages. A smaller magnitude flexing of display 20 may correlate to a slower page turn, without any skipping of pages. For example, a large deflection of display 20 may result in display region 22 displaying pages 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20 in one time interval. A small deflection may cause display region 22 to display pages 1, 2 and 3 in a longer time interval.
Other portions of display 20 outside of display region 22 may display content other than the pages being flicked through. For example, the presentation on the other portions of display 20 may be frozen on a current page, or blurred to save processing resources.
The computing device 100 may include one or more expansion slots. In an embodiment shown, a first peripheral port 102 enables one or more types of accessory devices to be connected to processor 140. In addition, computing device 100 may include a wireless peripheral port 104 that enables information to be communicated to processor 140 from an external source. The wireless peripheral port 104 forwards incoming communications to an amplifier 106 for processor 140. A second processor 108 intercepts communications incoming to and/or outgoing from wireless peripheral port 104 for purpose of facilitating conversion of data signals between formats and protocols of wireless communications, and those that can be processed by processor 140.
The display 120 cooperates with display driver 122 to display paginated content such as text-based information. For example, display 120 may be used to display pages from electronic books. The paginated content may be primarily in the form of text, although other information such as images, video clips and animation, may also be presented on display 120. In an embodiment, first memory 144 corresponds to non-volatile memory for computing device 100. The first memory 144 stores a data collection corresponding to the paginated content. The processor 140 accesses first memory 144 to retrieve the data. The processor 140 combines with display driver 122 to present the data in a paginated format on display 120.
To present a selected page, processor 140 accesses first memory 144 for values in the data collection that are assigned to the selected page. Each selected page of the paginated content is presentable on display 120 while other pages are cached in second memory 146. Alternatively, the data collection may be signaled to processor 140 from a peripheral device, through first peripheral port 102 or wireless peripheral port 104. Either first memory 144 or second memory 146 may be used to store portions of the data collection received from the peripheral device. The second memory 146 may be used to buffer or cache the data collection while one or more of the pages from the data collection is being displayed.
The sensor 130 is used to detect a deflection entered as input by a user. The deflection input may be measured as an analog value that is signaled to processor 140. The deflection input causes portions of one or more pages from the data collection to be displayed on at least a portion of display 120. The deflection is measured by sensor 130 for processor 140. In this way, the user may deflect a component of computing device 100 to signal an input to the processor 140. The processor uses a detected value of the input to present multiple pages on all or portions of display 120 over the course of a selected time period. As will be further described, embodiments of the invention allow for sensor 130 to detect deflection created on sensor 130, display 120, on a printed circuit board (PCB) of computing device 100, on a housing of computing device 100, or on a combination of sensor 130 and another component of computing device 100. The deflection may simulate the bending of a book or stack of pages, prior to their pages being flicked.
In an embodiment, the analog value measured by sensor 130 reflects the magnitude of the deflection, as well as other characteristics such as its duration, or flick speed. To process the information detected by sensor 130, AD converter 134 is coupled to receive the analog input from sensor 130. The AD converter 134 converts the analog input into a digital format for processing by processor 140. The AD converter 134 may also include several channels to receive other analog inputs or values from other components. For example, one of the channels 136 may be coupled to a digitizer 260 (see
In an embodiment shown by
With reference to
In an embodiment, sensor device 230 is positioned within housing 210 on or adjacent to an exterior surface. For example, a front panel 212 of housing 210 may provide access to display 220. The sensor device 230 may be positioned directly underneath front panel 212. To this end, sensor device 230 is positioned apart from display 220 and digitizer 260. In one embodiment, sensor device 230 is positioned on top segment 217 of housing 210. To enable sensor device 230 to measure a deflection, both housing 210 and sensor device 230 may be configured to bend or cantilever. The display 220 and digitizer 260 may be similarly configured. For sensor device 230 such as described with
With reference to
In a direction shown by axis Z, sensor device 230 is positioned just underneath digitizer 260. This may correspond to position A. In another embodiment, sensor device 230 may be positioned immediately adjacent (either above or below) to PCB 270. This may correspond to position B or C. The positions A, B, and C are possible for a configuration such as shown with
In an embodiment, sensor device 230 measures its own deflection. Therefore, sensor device 230 may be deflectable, and positioned within computing device 100 to enable its deflection by a user. To this end, portions or all of housing 210 may be flexible to bend in an area coinciding with the position of sensor device 230. The display 220 may be bendable to accommodate sensor device 230 being positioned underneath display 220. The digitizer 260 may be similarly constructed if used in cooperation with display 220. The PCB 270 may be flexible to accommodate bending of sensor device 230 in position B, C and possible A. Alternatively, PCB 270 may be shortened or otherwise to be away from a region of computing device 100 that deflects. If sensor device 230 is positioned at D, digitizer 260 and PCB 270 may each be shortened. In this way, the housing 210, and possible display 220, may be the flexible components of computing device 100 that bend for sensor device 230 to enable deflection to be entered as an input.
In an embodiment, sensor device 230 includes multiple conductive elements 232 that are intertwined or spaced in cooperation to provide an electrical property measuring a distance between them. The conductive elements 232 may be static and spaced in a default position when sensor device 230 is not deflected. In an embodiment, conductive elements 232 of sensor device 230 are extended perpendicular to the length of sensor device 230. Other embodiments may provide conductive elements 232 to extend lengthwise with sensor device 230.
In an embodiment, the electrical property that is fluctuated and measured is a capacitance, existing between the conductive elements 232 through electrical charge or current. Another embodiment may use resistance or inductance between the conductive elements 232, based on changes in charge as a result of positioning of the electrical elements 232 before and after deflection.
A page flicking mechanism such as shown with embodiments of the invention enables a user to enter an input that reconfigures the display 120 to present other pages of paginated content. The other pages may be presented in various formats, preferably in rapid succession, giving the user an impression that the pages are being flicked. In an embodiment, the pages are presented on the display for a duration corresponding to the user providing the flicking input. In this way, the user can track the pages as they are being presented in succession on the display. Further, the user can select a page for viewing by stopping the flicking action.
The stored values that are to be assigned to each discrete element of display 120 are part of a larger data collection representing the paginated content. An example of a data collection configured for paginated presentations is an electronic book. In an embodiment, bit values of each page are stored in first memory 144 (
Upon the page flick being entered by a user,
In an embodiment, second display portion 315 is positioned on the most viewable length of display 120. That may correspond to a centrally positioned strip having a width that is only a proportion of the overall width of display 120. If display 120 is bendable, second display portion 315 may correspond to a length of display 120 appearing left of the display's center line. The left side is most viewable if the user is bending a right end of display 120.
While embodiments described with
Another embodiment may display only portions of each page being flicked. For example, second display portion 315 may blank every other row of discrete elements 322. The result would be that the portion of display 120 used for displaying flicked pages is blurred, while giving the user sufficient page presentation to enable the user to be able to identify features of characteristics of each page flicked. Blurring the flicked pages in this manner preserves memory and processing resources of computing device 100.
Still further, the computing device 100 may be configured to intelligently blur or omit data from the pages being flicked. Substantially blank pages may be skipped during page flicks. Blank lines or pages may be omitted.
While embodiments described herein for computing device 100 describe housing 210, it is possible for computing device 100 to not have a housing that is separate from display 120. For example, certain types of electronic paper in production may form the top panel 212 of the housing 210 for computing device 100.
Under another embodiment, a page flicking mechanism may be coupleable to a handheld computer to enable users to flick pages of paginated content provided on the handheld computer. A page flicking mechanism comprising sensor device 230 may be coupled to a port of a handheld computer. Examples of handheld computers for use with such an embodiment includes personal digital assistants (PDAs), such as those manufactured by Palm Inc., or those operating WINDOWS POCKET PC operating systems. The page flicking mechanism may communicate with a processor of the handheld computer through a serial port, wireless port (having infrared, BlueTooth or radio-frequency characteristics), or other communication ports, such as Universal Serial Busses (USB).
In the foregoing specification, the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments thereof. It will, however, be evident that various modifications and changes may be made thereto without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention. The specification and drawings are, accordingly, to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.

HDMI switches expand the number of available HDMI ports on a high definition television allowing connection of cable boxes, Blu-ray players, and game consoles. A side benefit is that cable clutter is also reduced by running a single HDMI cable to your HDTV from a switch and relocating the HDMI ports to a concealed location. The problem with most HDMI switches is that you have to either get up to push a button, or hunt for the remote control, to switch sources.
The true mark of any great switching component is the ability to perform its function and remain transparent in its operation. This automatic HDMI switch is a plug-and-play away from offering everything you are looking for in an HDMI switch. Select a single output from up to three devices for signal delivery to your HDTV. Smart operation provides complete control for connect-and-forget operation. Powering on a device gives it output priority over the other devices. By powering down the device in use, output priority is returned to the last powered on device.
Note: Auto switch function only works for devices that do not output continuous voltage over HDMI port when turned off.
1. HDMI v1.3b and HDCP compliant.
2. Support 12-bit Deep Color.
3. 24K gold plated connector.
4. Smart, automatic operation: intelligent or mechanical.
5. Support 3D.
6. Maintains high resolution video - beautiful, sharp HDTV resolutions up to 1080p, 2k, and computer resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 are easily achieved.

Company L drill instructor encourages a recruit to throw a simulated gernade during Maneuver Under Fire April 12 aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot. One portion of Maneuver Under Fire requires recruits to run with ammunition cans, cutting left and right around cones to get to a simulated grenade they must throw before doing three push-ups. Next, they run the ammunition cans back to the starting point.

As with big ships sinking, little leaks sink your energy efficiency. But how do you know if you're getting the most bang for your buck on your energy expenses? Does your home's energy usage have you baffled?
The online home energy calculator on the Clark Public Utilities website can help answer many of your questions. With it, you can find out just about everything you need to know about your home energy use.
"We encourage all residential customers concerned about energy consumption to spend some time working with our home energy calculator," said Matthew Babbitts, Clark Public Utilities energy counselor.
In just a few minutes, the free "home energy calculator" may help you find where you're burning those energy dollars, compared to averages for homes of similar size. The adventuresome can even run different energy scenarios and compare the results.
Some of the problems you might uncover about your home energy use doing this online audit include: You may find inefficiencies in the heating-cooling system, water heater, refrigerator or washer and dryer, because they're not performing as well as they might if they were operated or maintained differently. You may find that your home has inadequate insulation or your furnace has filter or maintenance issues. You might even find that your thermostat is broken or incorrectly programmed.
If you have questions after using the calculator, don't hesitate to call the utility energy counselor of the day at 360-992-3355 or send an email to email@example.com for advice that fits your home and lifestyle. Also call if a high electric bill has you stymied or you just want to make sure your home systems aren't using more electricity than they need to.
Free in-home audit
For some homeowners, an in-home energy audit may be a better way to address energy conservation questions. In-home audits only take an hour or two. Anyone considering an energy conservation project, upgrading a heating system or wanting to begin major weatherization improvements shouldn't hesitate to request one. Also consider an in-home audit if you find a sudden increase in energy use with no dramatic changes in your living situation.
"We do our best to help most customers over the phone, but there are times when we just need to get in and see what's going on," Babbitts said. "In those cases, one of our energy counselors will visit your home to identify specific ways to cut back on energy waste and answer any of your questions."
It's fine to conduct either type of audit at any time of year. However, if you want to shave dollars off those winter bills, it's better to run the audit during the late summer or early fall before the cold-weather heating season starts. That allows you time to make any changes recommended before the winter weather sets in.
It's better to plan ahead. The utility receives the most calls in the winter, when customers want to lower heating bills quickly. Whenever possible, energy counselors do their best to recommend fast fixes that may help immediately even in the dead of winter.
But lowering a high heating bill quickly during a cold spell can be tough. Many of the measures needed to reduce wasted energy must be installed before the winter winds to lower your heating bill.
"Our utility website has lots of tips and resources that will help as you look for ways to reduce energy waste in your home," said Babbitts. "Often, these fixes will not only lower your electric bill, they'll also make your home more healthy and comfortable. And we can help along the way."Energy adviser is written by Clark Public Utilities. Send questions to firstname.lastname@example.com or to Energy Adviser, c/o Clark Public Utilities, P.O. Box 8900, Vancouver, WA 98668.

Villa v West Brom: Happy Lambert loving thrillers just like the fans
Paul Lambert today praised Villa's whole-hearted approach - but admitted it's doing nothing for his own ticker!
Lambert has been thrilled with the all-action displays of his team, as they have lived up to his positive footballing philosophies.
He said he's as excited as the fans watching the claret and blues go on the attack.
But he joked that it's like a rollercoaster following Villa at present.
Asked if it would be up and down this season, Lambert said: "I hope not. But it's a young team and that's what happens with young players.
"It's exciting for myself watching them at the moment.
"You get heart failure like everyone else when you sit and watch it but I am really enjoying it.
"The players are enjoying it and so are the fans. Yes you're disappointed to be losing at certain times but it's certainly exciting for everyone to see.
"The fans are getting excitement. We want the supporters on our side rather than against us.
"You appreciate the crowd because they travel to watch you - sometimes a long, long way.
"But the people who are coming to watch us at the minute, yes it's exciting."
On his positive outlook, he continued: "It's a trait that will never leave me. I don't want it any other way. If you're going to get beat, get beat in the right way but I also want to win as best I can. We will give it a go."
Lambert insisted too much has been made of the Southampton defeat, saying a "mad" spell in the second half was Villa's undoing.
Other than that, he's been thrilled with the improvements he's seen since joining.
He added: "There was a mad 15 minute spell at Southampton but at one-nil we were looking pretty fine and at the start of the second half we could have had a couple more, with Christian and Darren.
"They equalised and then we had a period where we couldn't get at it. But that happens in football. We will have to take our medicine at times and go again.
"I thought the response on Tuesday was tremendous, phenomenal.
"For 55 minutes at Southampton I was pretty happy and then we just lost our way a bit. That can happen. You don't get time to dwell - you go again."

Any tips would be appreciated! My son is 1 and a half and I have been CDing from the beginning. I really do love it, but it's getting really gross! I use Fuzzi Bunz and I remove the insert before throwing the dirty diapers into a bin. I usually let them sit for 2-3 days before finishing my pile of diapers and washing them. A couple problems:
1. I have to hold my breath and literally RUN from the laundry room after I turn the bag inside out and get them in the wash. The smell and the ammonia odor singe my nose off! It's bad. Should I be washing them like every other day to avoid this? I just don't want to wash them that often.
2. In order to get the ammonia smell out of them I have to presoak them, hot wash them with a tiny bit of Allen's soap (the brand they recommend so it leaves no residue which is why they say they smell like ammonia), rinse them twice, hot wash again with vinegar and baking soda, and hot wash again. This takes like 5-6 hours!!!!!!!! So on my diaper wash days my son is in disposables.
Any suggestions? I just feel like the smell and the amount I have to wash them to get the smell out is crazy. Can it really off-set the environmental impact if I am washing them like 9 times to get them clean and using all that water?

In the sixth nutrition article of our year-long Build A Better Athlete series, we look into summer eating habits. As athletes leave school for the summer, it can be easy for them to forget the healthy eating habits that got them in top shape during the season. University of Georgia sports nutritionist and registered dietitian Maria Breen, who has worked with athletes like NCAA women's gymnastics champion Kat Ding, has some tips on how athletes can approach their summer menu.
ESPNHS: How should a serious athlete approach their summer eating regimen?
Breen: I like their nutrition to be reflective of their training. The offseason is a great time to work on nutrition. It's the time to get back to basics and the foundations. I use the summer time to focus on cooking skills and grocery store shopping skills, stuff that would be tough to do during the season. It's also a good time to focus on body composition, like trying to build lean mass. Get in the habit of eating three meals a day and small snacks throughout the day so those habits are in place when you back.
ESPNHS: What type of nutrition advice do you give to your athletes before they leave school for the summer?
Breen: It is different for every athlete, and overall, I don't give specific plans. The big risk is that you view summer eating as a vacation. I don't want the athletes putting aside what we worked on for two months. I usually point out hydration, since that's very important during the summer, as well as taking in enough carbohydrates. Try to stay away from the processed foods and the simple sugars and focus on lean meats, vegetables, low-fat dairy and whole grains. Carbs are the main source of energy for the muscles, so athletes need to make sure they are taking in enough if they are exercising and training a lot.
ESPNHS: What have you found athletes typically run into trouble with in regards to nutrition during the summer months?
Breen: A collegiate athlete has a routine and is highly scheduled. When you get that pulled out from underneath you and you have all this time, it can throw off your food pattern. Athletes could end up eating fast food a lot more or dining out more. The problem with that is it can take time to get back to where you were.
ESPNHS: What types of foods typically consumed during the summer should be avoided and why?
Breen: There's no food I'd say is off limits to athletes. Any food can be fit into a plan. If you avoid something, an athlete could crave it and over-consume. Ice cream would be one of those foods that could get you. Others would be the mayonnaise-based foods like potato salad and the heavy, fried meats like fried chicken or ribs. View these foods as treats and something you'd eat on occasion. I'd limit these to a minimum.
ESPNHS: What would be the best summer foods for athletes to eat and why?
Breen: Summers are great because there are tons of fruit that are in season. Fruit is great for athletes because it's high in carbohydrates, which are going to help fuel their physical activity. They're also packed with nutrients, which can act as an anti-inflammatory and fight chronic disease. There's also a lot of water content in fruit, so it can help hydrate athletes as well. Blueberries are filled with antioxidants, which can help reconstruct cellular damage caused by strenuous exercise.
I also really like yogurt in the summertime. It's a great source of protein and carbohydrates. It's also high in calcium, which is great for high school athletes who are still building their bone density. I also focus on grilled foods like vegetables and lean meats. Grilling can be a healthy cooking method.

Water Quality Metadata Guideline
A new National Industry Guideline for water quality metadata will be considered for endorsement by WaMSTeC at the end of 2015.
The development of this guideline has been led by the QLD Department of Science, Information Technology and Innovation (DSITI) with the support of the Bureau and is based upon work undertaken as part of a Modernisation and Extension fund project in 2009-10 and 2010-11. Extensive industry input and consultation has been a feature of the development and review processes for this guideline. A Technical Reference Group significantly contributed to final review and redrafting of the guideline in 2015 and has recommended it to WaMSTeC for endorsement. Following endorsement, the Bureau will publish the guideline on these webpages.
What will the guideline cover?
The guideline will apply to water quality data collected and being supplied to the Bureau under the Water Regulations 2008 by organisations named in the regulations. It will provide guidance about metadata elements that are meaningful and pragmatic for hydrographical, laboratory and hydrologic practitioners. The guideline will be applicable to both automated continuous water quality monitoring (e.g. using in-situ sensors or probes), tests performed in the field and grab samples sent for laboratory testing. Implementation of the guideline will facilitate consistent collection of water quality metadata, and will improve the interoperability, quality and future usefulness of the water quality data.
Modernisation and Extension Project on water quality metadata
The initial Water Quality Metadata Project was undertaken by the Queensland Department of Science, Information Technology, Innovation and Arts with funding from the Australian Government Modernisation and Extension of Hydrological Monitoring Systems Program administered by the Bureau of Meteorology.
Following a series of consultations (surveys, face to face meetings and workshop) with representation from many water data collectors, managers and users across Australia, the project produced three reports. These reports propose a catalogue of protocols for water quality data including proposed water quality metadata:
Report A – Water Quality Metadata Guidelines (1.2MB)
Report B – Implementation Strategies (532KB)
Report C – Project Activity Report (1.3MB)
The Bureau extends its thanks to the project team and all concerned and particularly Rob De Hayr and Gabrielle Van Willigen who led the original project with such gusto.

Tell West Virginia's Attorney General: Stop targeting abortion providers!
Update: Thank you so much to all who contacted Attorney General Morrisey. You spoke up loud and clear -- comments are now closed, but we will keep you posted on the upcoming rally in Charleston on Tuesday, August 20th and how you can participate from afar.
State by state, politicians are seizing on copycat regulations targeting abortion providers as a way to limit abortion access -- and now West Virginia's Attorney General Patrick Morrisey is trying to personally get in on the action. He bypassed the West Virginia legislature and is calling for a "review" of abortion clinic regulations, with the aim of closing down the state's last two clinics.
Attorney General Morrisey is inviting public comment "from West Virginia and elsewhere." Click here to tell him: stop targeting abortion providers!

"It's important that people understand what access really means."
Watch Katherine Miller, a volunteer with the Lilith Fund for Reproductive Equity, as she's interviewed by ABC News in Austin, Texas, on the day that Governor Rick Perry signed sweeping abortion restrictions into law: "It's very important that people understand what access really means. It's not just for rich women. These laws make it so that only certain women of certain means are going to be able to access medical care."

One lesson from Texas: legal abortion means nothing without access
By Eesha Pandit, Board Member of the National Network of Abortion Funds. A version of this originally appeared at RH Reality Check on June 27, 2013.
This is such a simple concept that I can't believe we still have to say it, but we do:
The legal right to an abortion means nothing to a person who can't get to the clinic, the person who can't speak the language spoken in the clinic, the person who doesn't have enough money to pay for it, the person who doesn't have the documentation required.
Texas State Senator Wendy Davis knows it. That's why she stood for 12 hours in a dramatic filibuster on the floor of the Senate. State Senator Leticia Van De Putte knows it. That's why she left her father's funeral, drove 3 hours and arrived on the Senate floor to speak against Texas Senate Bill 5. Also in the know are the hundreds of people, men and women alike, who protested their hearts out for hours—and days—on end and ultimately were the ones who pushed the special session to an end before a vote could be reached on the regressive bill that would make abortion inaccessible to millions of Texans.

We fund abortions because...
20 years ago this month, frustrated by a lack of commitment on the part of political leaders to repeal the Hyde Amendment, determined to ensure that more women and girls would be able to get an abortion without sacrificing basic needs, and infused with the spirit of solidarity, activists with two dozen abortion funds met to form the National Network of Abortion Funds. That meeting turned out to be the first of many.
This week activists from around the world representing over a hundred abortion funds are gathered in Oakland, California to strategize.
To learn from one another.
And to celebrate our 20th anniversary.
We fund abortions because we view the right to abortion as a fundamental human right. And we will be here until there is no longer a need. Over the past twenty years, abortion funds have distributed over $39 million, helping over 340,000 women get abortions they would otherwise not be able to afford.
Please join us. Tell us why you fund abortion. Add your reasons on Facebook and Twitter, or email us and we will share on our page.

This spring's Bowl-a-Thon: record-shattering!
Have you been waiting for the other rental shoe to drop?
The total numbers are now in from this spring's National Abortion Access Bowl-a-Thon, and we are bowled over: In the largest event of its kind, activists this year went balls out, breezing past goals to strike Hyde: Together, you raised over $553,000 for abortion access!
That's more than $50,000 over the initial goal, surpassing everyone's wildest expectations--an additional amount that represents hundreds more phone calls funds can answer.
The 4th Annual National Abortion Access Bowl-a-Thon, by the numbers:
- Individual bowlers, karaoke stars, and pool sharks: 2,008
- Teams of rollers, rebels, and rowdies: 415
- Cities that held Bowl-a-Thons, Triathlon-a-Thons, and Billiards-a-Thons: 29
- Virtual Bowl-a-Thons: 1
- Abortion funds that benefited directly from the Bowl-a-Thon: 27, including Mississippi!
- Individual donors: 10,843 donors making 12,588 donations
- Average donation: $44
- Percentage of donations $25 and under: 70
- Weekends that the volume of donations crashed the server: 1
- Smallest donation: $1.00
- Largest donation: $5,000, in the form of a matching gift that went to the Eastern Massachusetts Abortion Fund and to one of the NEWEST funds, the New Orleans Abortion Fund in the Gulf Coast region!
That's right: you raised over a half a million dollars in $25 increments. (Just imagine what the possibilities would be if Medicaid chipped in!)
There was no blue state / red state division: bowlers found support in Arkansas and California alike. From Georgia and Hawaii and yes, Alaska. From flyover country and from the coasts. And from around the world: people in places including Hong Kong, Ireland, Australia and Germany pitched in to help make this a bigger Abortion Access Bowl-a-Thon than we could ever imagine!
Yes, there were LOLcats. There were gifs. There were rock stars, like The Mountain Goats, and award-winning authors, like Katha Pollitt. There were teams of activists from allied organizations, like NARAL Pro-Choice America, who know their way around a cue stick. There were bridesmaids, robots, and trophies galore. So many costumes! And the puns...oh, the puns.
But mostly there were the 2000+ bowlers who channeled their compassion and creativity into appealing to the best in their friends, their families and their neighbors. Appealing to their sense of justice, knowing that no matter what their bowling score was, or how off-key they sang, or how unlikely it was that they would ever nail a 7-2 split, that their efforts would mean that when a woman calls her abortion fund for help, that fund will have her back.
Thank you to everyone who bowled, sang, or donated for abortion access in the 4th Annual Abortion Access Bowl-a-Thon. You made this the best Bowl-a-Thon yet!

Bowl-a-Thon page of the week: Sara "Sparo" Slater, with the CAIR Project's Hyde Hackers
Congratulations to Sara "Sparo" Slater, this week's National Abortion Access Bowl-a-Thon Page of the Week Winner!
Sara is bowling this weekend with the CAIR Project in Seattle, which helps women in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Alaska--Alaska!--get the abortions they need.
Her page was nominated because she really puts it all on the line: her story begins, "I was 16 years old and realized I couldn't remember my last period..."

Relief and disappointment
President Obama unveiled his 2014 budget this morning. We commend the President for striking restrictions on D.C. funding of abortion for low-income women in his budget and for moving to lessen some of the restrictions on coverage for women in the Peace Corps. However, we join many other groups in the women's health and rights community in our disappointment that he did not take a critical step toward lifting the current Medicaid coverage ban. President Obama could have taken this historic opportunity at the dawn of his second term in office to present a clean budget to Congress; he did not.
