The Daily Startup: Y Combinator Start Fund Changes Name, Structure
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
Y Combinator has decided it's time to stop the Start Fund. The two-year-old fund, which awarded every company that went through the Silicon Valley accelerator $150,000 in financing, has a new name, new LPs and a new way of doing business that awards less money, but more time with investors. Called YC VC, the program now will give $80,000. SV Angel, which helped found the Start Fund, is not participating in YC VC, but Maverick Capital will participate.
Braemar Energy Ventures saw a quick return on its $6.5 million investment in light-emitting-diode company Albeo Technologies, which is being sold to General Electric. "It was a short holding period and a nice gain," said Dennis Costello, managing partner at the venture firm. Braemar invested in the Boulder, Colo.-based maker of LED fixtures for commercial and industrial customers earlier this year. The investment was one of the first from Braemar's new $300 million third fund and it is also the first exit from that fund.

Great!We ordered this for my older daughter to help her learn to spell her name. It was such a great success that we are now getting it for my younger daughter.
Wonderful GiftMy mom ordered this for my daughter's first Birthday. It is too cute and a toy that can turn keepsake as she grows older. The only thing that bummed me out was the paint chipped when she teethed on one of the letters. I think it will just add to the charm of wear and tear. Her name is Charlotte and each letter is colorful and girly. We love it!

Taoiseach Enda Kenny's trade-focused charm offensive on the US continued last week, as he attended a series of events over three days in both Boston and New York aimed at "reasserting Ireland's place in the world," as he put it when he visited the JFK School of Government at Harvard University on Thursday evening.
The latest trip came hot on the heels of his visit to New York just the week before, where he addressed a major investment conference hosted by former president Bill Clinton. This time around he returned to New York before traveling to Boston for his first visit to the city as Taoiseach.
Arriving in Manhattan Wednesday Mr. Kenny spoke to press at New York City Hall and held briefings with Bank Mellon representatives and Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The visit also included a trip to New Jersey's Merck Sharp and Dohme pharmaceutical plant, and the launch of Tourism Ireland's "Jump into Ireland" campaign at the New York Athletic Club.
His mile-a-minute Boston schedule took in the launch of Irish security company Netwatch's US division; the aforementioned keynote speech at Harvard on the theme of the Irish economy; an Irish Network Boston reception; a dinner with key American Ireland Fund supporters at the Four Seasons Hotel; a business breakfast Friday hosted by the Irish American Partnership; a lunch at the JFK Presidential Library hosted by Enterprise Ireland; and a meeting with Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick at the State House.
Speaking at Harvard, Mr. Kenny dipped liberally into the history books to emphasize what he feels is Ireland's rightful place at the heart of a strong Europe, asking the audience to remember "the sixth-century Irish monks who brought a semi-Barbarian Europe out of the Dark Ages," during a time when "Ireland colonized the souls of Europe."

In Ireland, bitter debate over a proposed new European fiscal treaty continues, with the Government agreeing on a proposed text some weeks back, but the opposition saying the treaty should be put before the people.
The Irish Attorney General is set to decide shortly whether the treaty should go to a vote, but Mr. Kenny derided opposition efforts to turn the debate in "a referendum on austerity," which he said it was not, but rather a plan to implement greater "safeguards" and "firewalls" within the European financial system.
"You don't say willy-nilly that 'we're going to have a referendum on this, a referendum on that'," he said in response to a question from the audience on the matter.
He said his Government was determined to "restore Ireland's place as a respected member of the international community" after what he called "a bleak midwinter for our country and our pride."
The trip saw the Taoiseach play strongly on the Irish economy's strong recent export statistics, saying that as a small open economy, this is what will fuel any Irish recovery. He called 2011 "a stand-out year for Foreign Direct Investment" in Ireland, saying the IDA had achieved a record 148 international projects for Ireland, leading to 13,000 new jobs, a 20% increase on the previous year.
The trip also saw him expand on the Government's newly-announced Action Plan for Jobs, which has set itself the extremely ambitious goal of adding 200,000 new jobs to the Irish market by 2020.
Sitting down with The Irish Emigrant on Friday morning, Mr. Kenny said the aim was to rebuild Ireland's reputation after its economic implosion, using a plan centered on the three "Ts": Technology, Talent and Track record.
"We inherited an unprecedented situation," he said. "The bailout from the Troika [the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund] meant that we had to face down an enormous challenge economically, rebuild the reputation of the country and set out a level of trust with people.
"What we want to do is get back to where we were in the late 1990s, when Ireland was cost-competitive, had a very strong export manufacturing output, and was still attracting a lot of internal investment from abroad. We [still] have all of those characteristics, just to tie them together."
"The fundamental challenge we have is our public finances – we're spending 18 billion euro more than we're taking in. That means you have to downsize the cost of running the government, downsize the public sector, and provide your services more efficiently with less people.

60-year-old Patricia Cary of Columbia died Sunday night, April 16 when her car crashed into a tractor-trailer.
It happened just before the Washington Road exit going eastbound about a half-mile away from the Warren Road bridge.
News 12's Diane Cho was on the scene.
"I heard several terrible bangs and I ran out and grabbed a phone," says Jimmy Heath. He was working in his garage when he heard what sounded like bombs going off in his backyard. "When I heard it I knew, I didn't have to see it, I knew it was a bad accident."
Just a hundred feet from his home, what he found was something he could have never imagined.
"We knew there wasn't anything we could do. We felt pretty helpless," he says.
Officers on the scene say a gray Cutlass ricocheted off the concrete barriers in the eastbound lane several times, eventually flying over the top and slamming into a red semi-truck headed the other direction.
But that wasn't all. The Cutlass came back into the eastbound lanes, striking the barrier one last time before spinning to a stop upside down.
Those who saw the aftermath say they knew it was only a matter of time before something like this would happen.
"I was telling my son earlier today, since they put the construction in there, there would be a wreck here one day. Not four, five hours later, we get called," says Leonard Wetharsbee of Edwards Paint and Body, who was called out to tow the wreckage.
The coroner says the driver was most likely speeding through the construction area.
"I ask for everyone to pay attention to what happened here today and to slow down so this don't happen again...and pray for that family," Wetharsbee says.
The coroner says the driver died of massive blunt force trauma.

Strength training and weight loss with the Wii Fitness Plus
March 8, 2012 by Pat Reval
Filed under Addict Games
Somebody please put some more X into exergaming. Yet for the first actual release to the people, game makers did a great job. I'm satisfied with Wii Fit's motion sensing, but there's some really cool footage we see from movies and sports and a real workout for athletes would be super cool. Having a flaw in my balance due to an unknown stability caused by a weakness on my right side is cool, though. At least I have something to work on. I also think swinging my arms around and seeing a digital avatar I created respond to my moves is cool.
I remember when workouts used to be sweaty, exhausting, painful and riddled with calorie burns. I bet that 10 minutes of sprints used to burn in excess of 200 calories. Only 144 calories exhausted in 36 min on Wii Fit Plus Strength exercises. But, you get to view your digital avatar. Did I mention him before? Be sure to keep your eyes down and wait for the signals while doing push ups. Some of the core exercises provided the most difficult to scoring opportunities for me. I think mostly due to the weakness on my right side that causes the instability…
Games are cool too. As is the Fit Plaza and extras including locker room with many other options. Your pet's weight can be taken and saved for future monitoring. Video game designers can really bring modern exercise science to the masses. At this time, weight, BMI, calories burned and stats for every move on the balance board are all calculated and charted before your very eyes. Thats cool.
But, what's the coolest thing about exercising? Advancement. It can be weight loss, a race, looks or simply the gratification of knowing you worked hard. Video gamers need to consider all the above in order to bring even the hard-core a accomplished workout. Similar technology has been tested and used to moniter athlete development in sports science programs around the world. Being able to play games and exercise for real in front of our HDtv's is something I'd like to see.
Wouldn't that be cool?

Spare Mag UHC USP Spring
$ 6.99
Spare Mag UHC USP Spring - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- A Must Have And Is CheapSome mags are quite costly, but this is cheap, but of course, that would be an obvious reason of why it's so cheap, and that's because it's a spare magazine for a spring gun. Spring guns are much cheaper because they aren't quite as durable as most other guns, but some spring guns can still be quite durable. If you just bought the gun, you should always buy a spare magazine. This magazine is actually pretty durable, considering it's a spring airsoft gun magazine.
So what are you waiting for? Always having at least one spare magazine in airsoft wars is a must.
Thank you for reading.
- Durable, Low Clip-Size Very Well made clip. It is suprisingly heavy, but this is accomplished by the addition of a metal weight within the clip. The only downer to the clip is the relatively low clip size.
HOPE THIS HELPED! -Bagwsp
- yes...when you give a gun for a airsoft gift..buy the happy person to be a extra or 2..mag..this 1 today is 7 bucks..i've lost these but never broken one & ive dropped the hell out of my mags..with the dirt test..and maybe a high capacity speed loader..tis the season...10Q..jeffer
- work goodthe clips are really good except the fact you have to load one at a time and they can be hard to push in, if you get the new speed loader that looks like the clip they load with in 5 or 6 seconds and then they are awsome. As for the weight of them i like it, it gives the clip more of a real feel and balances nicely
- goodi have this clip for my uhc usp spring pistol and it is a good clip overall it holds 17 shots and is very heavy so it has some downsides but oh well its good for 7.00 dollars
- pretty heavyThese mags are heavy and kinda hard to push in. You just have to get a speed loader
- Spare for the USPI got about six of these with my tomb-raider usp. They just work like magazines, what more would you want out of them? Ok here you go, they could be used as paper weights. OOOOOOOOO. Be careful when putting them it the weapon though because if the side of the grips catch the bbs just right they will all just fly out of the magazine.
- very importantthis is very important. get spare mags for pistols. these really help you in combat and really when your clips only hold 12 bb's. get this
- not good for fast reloadswith this magazine you have to push the bb's in one at a time, also the magazine has a huge weight in it and the gun feels like a toy without the magazine in.
- great clipthis is the best clip. it ways more than the gun

SUNRISE, Fla. — Add defenseman Scott Hannan to the list of injured Sharks.
Hannan will not be in the lineup Thursday night against the Florida Panthers, coach Todd McLellan said, because of an upper body injury that goes back to the final minute of San Jose's win over Detroit one week ago when he was elbowed in the jaw by Red Wing forward Dan Cleary
The veteran defenseman did play in the next game against Boston, but sat out Tuesday night's shootout victory in Washington and will not be in the lineup Thursday night against the Florida Panthers. The injury is believed to be a concussion.
Back-up goalie Alex Stalock is getting his first start in net since Jan. 5, when the Sharks beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 in a shootout. McLellan has said he planned to use Stalock more frequently going forward, in part because starter Antti Niemi is on Team Finland in the Sochi Olympics and could benefit from a reduced workload.
The start is the seventh for Stalock and 11th appearance overall. He is 5-2 with a .932 save percentage and 2.03 goals against average. The Panthers are expected to start Tim Thomas, the former Boston Bruins netminder who is 12-11-3 with a .917 save percentage and 2.55 goals against average.
The Sharks also will have James Sheppard back on the fourth line after he has missed the past three games dealing with the death of his grandfather.
San Jose is facing a Panther team that is 11-5-2 in its last 18 games and rebounding under interim coach Peter Horachek, who took over Nov. 8 after Kevin Dineen was fired. Still, Florida is tied for 14th among the sixteen Eastern Conference teams with 43 points.
McLellan doesn't want his players focusing on that last statistic.
"We can't underestimate the work ethic of this team down in Florida," he said. "They've got a lot of talent in their lineup, the coaching change. They seem to be energized or maybe some of the players that hadn't had good starts, they're playing well now. For us to approach this any other way than our A game would be a disaster."

- BottleRock: How two Napa businessmen launched a major music festival
By now, you've probably heard about BottleRock Napa, the mammoth music (and more) festival set to make its debut this month.
The first-year event, which runs May 9 to 12 in downtown Napa, certainly has the headliners to draw huge crowds: Zac Brown Band, the Black Keys, the Kings of Leon and Furthur, all of which are legitimate arena/amphitheater headliners.
Yet they represent just four of the more than 60 acts scheduled to perform at BottleRock. Here are 10 others that you should try to catch while in Napa:
Richard Thompson (3:45 p.m. May 9; Miner Family Stage): The folk-rock legend, who came in at No. 19 on Rolling Stone magazine's famous list of "100 Greatest Guitarists" of all time, is touring in support of the marvelous new record "Electric."
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (4:30 p.m. May 9; Citi Stage): Jett is one of the most influential female artists in rock history. There have been legions of imitators, but the original model is still the best.
Violent Femmes (5:45 p.m. May 9; Miner): Sure, nearly all of the band's best songs hail from that immortal first record, which came out in 1983. Who cares? It's still going to be a blast to hear such college-rock classics as "Blister in the Sun" and "Add It Up."
X (2:45 p.m. May 9; Citi): It's as pure a dose of punk rock history as you can find. The seminal L.A. act, which formed in 1977, still features all four of its original members -- vocalist-bassist John Doe, vocalist Exene Cervenka, guitarist Billy Zoom and drummer DJ Bonebrake.
Allah-Las (1:15 p.m. May 10; Citi): I've never seen the L.A. act, which borrows heavily from '60s surf-garage rock, in concert. Yet, word is that the Allah-Las was sensational at the most recent South by Southwest festival in Texas.
Carolina Chocolate Drops (2:15 p.m. May 11; Miner): This old-time string band is great on record and even better in concert. Its repertoire is based on the traditional music of the Piedmont region of the Carolinas, but the band is known to throw in an occasional modern tune as well. I adore the Drops' old-timey take on Blu Cantrell's "Hit 'em Up Style (Oops!)."
Best Coast (noon May 11; WillPower Stage): OK, so the sunny surf-pop band from L.A. didn't exactly wow me as the opening act at Green Day's recent Greek Theatre gig. I dig the band's albums so much, however, that I'm willing to give Best Coast another shot.
Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite (7:30 p.m. May 11; Citi): The former is a Grammy-winning rock star, known for such hit albums as 2006's "Both Sides of the Gun," and the latter is a member of the Blues Hall of Fame. Together, they form one of the year's most fascinating collaborations (see the recently released "Get Up!"). Musselwhite also performs, sans Harper, on May 12.
The Secret Sisters (11:45 a.m. May 12; WillPower): You can't keep something this good a secret for long. Expect these Sisters -- Lydia and Laura Rogers -- to catapult to popularity once more people catch on to their beautiful folk-country music.
Mavis Staples (3:45 p.m. May 12; Miner): The gospel great, who first came to fame in the 1950s as a member of the Staple Singers, is sure to help close out the festival in heavenly fashion.
Best HP Pavilion show ever?: To celebrate its 20th anniversary, HP Pavilion is letting fans name the greatest concert to ever be held at the downtown San Jose venue.
That's a tough one. I've seen so many great shows at the Shark Tank over the years. In fact, I'm hoping to chime in at some future point with my own picks for the pavilion's best shows.
Have your own favorites? Just visit the venue's website (www.hppavilion.com) or Facebook page (www.facebook.com/HPPavilionatSanJose) and cast your votes in an NCCA-style bracket contest. The competition runs through May 13. Then the fans' pick, for best HP Pavilion show of all time, will be announced.

Notes & Quotes: Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach
Takuma Sato and the ABC Supply team are in their first season together. Sato is making his fourth appearance in the Long Beach Grand Prix. In the 2012 event, Sato finished 8th after starting 6th. Following his 14th place finish at Barber Motorsports Park, he is 12th in the IZOD IndyCar Series standings.
Takuma Sato on why the Long Beach Grand Prix is so popular: "I think it's because it's a gorgeous venue. It has such a great atmosphere with an energetic city and of course it's got the long racing history."
Sato on key factors for success at Long Beach: "You need pretty much everything basically. A fast car, of course, but putting more weight on mechanical grip rather than aero, plus a strong fuel consumption, which was key last year, and a fast driver as always, and the right call on strategy."
Sato on what makes Long Beach's track distinctive: "It has a roundabout at the middle of the track! Also, the surface is quite slippery with relatively low grip and it has the tightest hairpin in the series."
Sato on what he looks for during the Track Walk with his engineers: "A good chatting time. Seriously, we look at the bumps, any changes at the corners so that I can explain to the engineers how the car reacts and feels. That way they can imagine the car movement in addition to what they can see from the data -- and that will always help to improve the setups."
Last year at Long Beach: Sato started sixth and finished eighth, while AJ Foyt Racing's driver Mike Conway started 7th and finished 22nd due to mechanical problems.
Team members Andrew Copeland and Raul Prados won the Jim Greer Award of Excellence: Copeland won for the Honda Grand Prix of St Petersburg and Prados won it for the Honda Grand Prix of Alabama. Jim Greer, longtime friend of A.J. Foyt, created an award to recognize outstanding performance at race events among the Foyt team members. The recipient, determined by team manager Craig Baranouski and crew chief Tom Howatt, receives a monetary bonus and his name (and the race) engraved on a plaque which hangs in the AJ Foyt Racing Showroom.
ABC Supply returns for its ninth year as primary sponsor of A.J. Foyt's No. 14. The company will host 400 guests this weekend in Long Beach. Since the company began sponsoring AJ Foyt Racing in 2005, they have entertained well over 46,000 people at IZOD IndyCar Series events.
ABC Supply roofing customer Howard Roofing Co Inc., located in Pomona, Calif., will be featured atop the sidepods of the No. 14 ABC Supply Dallara/Honda. Owner Ron Malekow and his guests will receive selected merchandise, race tickets, hospitality and garage passes, plus a Meet and Greet with Takuma Sato.
ABC Supply national account Toll Brothers, national builder of luxury homes, will be featured on the engine cover of the No. 14 ABC Supply car this weekend. Guests will receive the VIP treatment this weekend and will meet driver Takuma Sato.
Headquartered in Beloit, Wis., ABC Supply was founded by Ken and Diane Hendricks in 1982. The company has more than 455 branches in 45 states and is dedicated exclusively to serving professional contractors. ABC Supply has distinguished itself by following a simple guiding principle – take care of contractors better than any other distributor. It remains an "employee-first" company that treats its associates with respect and gives them the tools they need to succeed. As a six-time winner of the Gallup Great Workplace Award, which recognizes the best-performing workforces in the world, ABC Supply is one of only a handful of companies in the world to have earned this honor every year since its inception in 2007. More information is available at www.abcsupply.com.
The Qualifying Show for the Long Beach Grand Prix will be broadcast April 20, Saturday evening at 6 p.m. ET on the NBC Sports Network. The race will be televised live April 21, Sunday afternoon starting at 4 p.m. ET on the NBC Sports Network.

'I Am' Yuzen
I love Yuzen for the great products and brands it introduces me to. (What? You haven't heard of Yuzen? Read my review of it here.)
Case in point: These Dark Chocolate Covered Cacao Nibs from sweetriot. They're like a healthy, chocolate-y, antioxidant-packed version of Nerds candy. (Remember Nerds?). Or this Lavender & Lemon Hydrating Lip Balm from Tilvee.
With every new season, Yuzen delivers the kind of eco-friendly-but-also-super-luxurious products that make me wonder, "How did I ever live without this?"


text: When one thinks of Australian metal or rock, invariably AC/DC and Jet are the stereotype. Airbourne and some others are in there too, but everybody at this point knows exactly what's being talked about. So when Envenomed was reportedly a melodic thrash act from the continent down under, there was a certain amount of cynicism that was probably to be expected. Why break the stereotype now, it's been working so well?

Mastering Swimming delivers a targeted approach for improving
your strokes, developing workout programs, and training for success.
Whether you are 18 or 118, you can learn from renowned master's swimming
experts, Jim Montgomery and Mo Chambers on how to trim your time,
motivate yourself and maximize your workout to be a master swimmer.
Jim Montgomery has held 10 swimming world records and won 9 world championships, 14 national titles, and 7 NCAA titles. As a member of the 1976 U.S. Olympic team in Montreal, he won three gold medals and one bronze. He was the first person ever to break 50 seconds in the 100-meter freestyle, a feat some have compared to Roger Bannister's breaking the four-minute-mile barrier in track. In 1981 he founded Dallas Aquatic Masters, one of the largest and most successful masters swim programs in the United States, and has been its head coach from day 1. Since 1998, Montgomery has also served as aquatics director at Greenhill School in Dallas. In 1986, he was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame and was the 2002 United States Masters Swimming Coach of the Year. Montgomery has competed and given swim clinics in Japan, Hong Kong, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Italy, Thailand, Mexico, and Finland as well as throughout the United States. He lives in Dallas.
Mo Chambers was a software engineer for a large Silicon Valley company when, at age 30, she decided to take a job teaching a group of eager adult swimmers at a local health club. This side job soon became an all-consuming passion that would bring her national recognition. Within a year she left her engineering job to coach swimming full time. She took the helm of Mountain View Masters Swim Club and in seven years developed the club from 30 to more than 350 members. In 1993-94, she worked with well-known coaches Richard Quick and Bill Boomer on Stanford's women's swim team. In 1996, she was named USMS Coach of the Year. Chambers is a prolific writer for Swim, USMS Swimmer, and the ASCA newsletter. She is currently chairperson of the USMS coaches committee. Chambers lives in Vancouver, Washington.
"From gold medals to Coach of the Year honors, Jim Montgomery and Mo Chambers have done it all, including building two of the greatest masters swimming programs in the country. In Mastering Swimming, their expertise is evident on every page. This is a fantastic resource for fitness and competitive swimmers from 20 to 90."

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Could you handle a three-hour interview for a job? That's exactly what Ron Huck, a candidate for the director of Parks and Recreation, went through. We talked with city leaders on exactly what they're looking for.
"What are your plans if your are given this position? What are you going to do to enhance the lives of our young people," said Commissioner Bill Lockett.
"We're looking for somebody who is a leader. We're looking for somebody who can move beyond the status quo," said City Administrator Fred Russell.
Houck could be that somebody. He's in the hot seat interviewing for the top spot.
"It was invigorating to share the story and vision for our department," Houck said.
He has worked for Parks and Recreation for a while. Houck says he's ready to take the department to a new level.
"We're going to be about doing the right thing for the right reasons. We are going to be about our people both internal and our workforce," he said.
''I think the candidate certainly displayed a certain since of confidence because he's been in our system for many years," said Commissioner Donnie Smith.
This is the city's second time trying to fill the position. Months ago, a potential candidate turned down the spot. For the next few days, city leaders are interviewing four men for the title of director.
All four candidates will interview with the city administrator. Then, the candidates will be grilled by other city department heads and face the Augusta Commission.

Understand Advanced Capacity Control Methods For Reciprocating Compressors
Advanced technologies for compressor capacity control can provide flexibility and save massive amounts of energy, but it can be difficult to achieve precise control.
Large reciprocating compressors have high power requirements, sometimes running in the range of megawatts. Integrating them into complex processes with side streams or multi-stream compression requires precise control and operational flexibility. Advanced technologies for compressor capacity control can provide flexibility and save massive amounts of energy, but it can be difficult to achieve precise control. Large reciprocating compressors are a poor match for variable-speed drives because the large motors make the drives costly and the high torque requirements require large flywheels. Traditional capacity control methods waste electric power by using recycle valves or recycle valves in combination with step control.

Maintenance: How To Monitor Moving Machinery
Find ways to check machinery while it is running, maintain safe practices while doing so, and then accurately document the results.
Many highly productive plants run 24 hours a day, covering three shifts, and the only planned downtime is over part of the weekend. The larger manufacturers deploy a tiered approach in which reliability personnel monitor critical machinery to predict potential failures or efficiency loss. They want to know of possible problems ahead of time so they can fill out work orders for the maintenance team, who can then make appropriate repairs when machines are planned to be offline.
That works for the big guys, such as auto and heavy equipment manufacturers, but what about plants where the maintenance team is also the reliability team and a skeleton crew is chasing machinery events just to stay ahead of the next disastrous failure?
The key is to…

Canadian Refinery Installs GE Wastewater Technology
Federated Co-Operatives Limited will reuse 100% of its water.
Federated Co-Operatives Limited's Co-op Refinery Complex in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, is installing GE's water recycling technology for a wastewater improvement project that will enable the refinery to clean 100% of its wastewater on site, according to GE. Once fully operational, the Co-op Refinery Complex will reportedly be the only refinery in North America to recycle all its wastewater for steam production, which is used for heating, hydrogen production, to power equipment and for cooling towers.
Several years ago the refinery expanded its operations to produce 30,000 more barrels of oil per day (BPD), taking it from a 100,000 BPD to a 130,000-BPD facility, which increased its water usage, according to GE. The refinery's…

Board warns that dangers of high temperature hydrogen attack are under-appreciated.
The U.S. Chemical Safety Board, Washington, D.C., has just released "CSB Safety Alert: Preventing High Temperature Hydrogen Attack (HTHA)" in an effort to prevent accidents like the 2010 fatal explosion and fire at the Tessoro refinery in Anacortes, Wash., that injured 7 workers.
The CSB's 2014 report placed the blame for the accident on the failure of a 40-year-old carbon-steel heat exchanger that was caused by HTHA. The CSB recommended that the American Petroleum Institute (API) better address the threat of HTHA. The API recently issued updated guidance.
However, the CSB found this inadequate.

OAKLAND -- Warriors point guard Jarrett Jack emerged from pregame warm-ups sweaty and scowling. he simply got tired of sitting out.
"Sometimes, you've got to fight through some stuff," Jack said. "Not playing is killing me."
Jack said he was initially going will miss his fourth consecutive game tonight against Houston. His right shoulder contusion is still not 100 percent. The decision was made to sit him out until after the All-Star break, giving him a full two weeks of rest.
But after going through pregame warmups, vigorously, Jack told head coach Mark Jackson he was playing. And Jackson obliged.
Jack's absence had proven to be a major blow for the Warriors, who rely heavily on his production and presence off the bench. He is averaging 12.8 points and 5.8 assists in 28.9 minutes per game.
Jack sustained the injury on a hard fall in the fourth quarter of last week's loss at Houston. Contesting a fast-break layup by Rockets guard Jeremy Lin and Jack landed hard on his right side hurting his right shoulder and hip. X-rays came back negative, but Jack still has limited mobility in his right arm because of the bruised shoulder.
Tuesday's game is the last before the All-Star break. So Jack would have had two weeks of rest and rehabilitation before the Warrior took the floor again.

The Ultimate Guide to Face Shapes
Oval, square, round or diamond? Identifying which one of the common face shapes you have will help dictate your best haircut and makeup options
Hairstyles that work: Minimize fullness with face-framing layers or a middle/slightly off-center part like Miranda Kerr's. And, as a general rule, it's a good idea to keep hair longer than your chin to help lengthen the appearance of your face.
Hairstyles to avoid: Beware of chin-grazing bobs -- they can make your face look rounder. Keep away from blunt bangs, which will create a half-moon look. Opt, instead, for a bob that's longer in the front than the back.
Next: Makeup looks for round faces.

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that has a "Finding Bigfoot" addiction.
It seems that Animal Planet - a TV channel we didn't even know existed until recently, and one we didn't realize until the wee morning hours of Monday that we could view on basic cable - was hosting a Bigfoot marathon.
What we began watching with derision quickly developed into a weird, uncontrollable urge to find out what was going to happen next. We're pretty sure they haven't actually discovered a real sasquatch - we do check the national wire every day and no one in the corporate suites can remember coming across a story confirming the existence of some half man, half ape, half we're-not-quite-sure beast roaming the High Country. As with any great adventure, the quest itself can be just as fun or even more so than the discovery. For some reason we just can't seem to turn off this show.
We seem to the have a "squatching problem" as our favorite cast member of the show, James "Bobo" Fay, would say.
As we sat in front of the ol' boob tube until the early hours of the morning, it got us thinking about the squatches and if there have been any sightings in Summit. So with that, we ask that if you've seen a sasquatch or have a picture of one, send it over to firstname.lastname@example.com.
We out.

OAKLAND -- Kaiser Foundation Hospitals and Health Plan has tapped Bernard Tyson, its current president and chief operating officer, to become chief executive officer of the health care organization.
Tyson, who will become the first African-American to head Kaiser, the nation's largest integrated health care system, takes over the CEO post next spring. He acknowledged Monday that he faces plenty of challenges.
"Right in front of us is to continue to get ready for the rollout of health care reform," Tyson said in an interview with this newspaper. "We also have a big agenda around affordability. We want to demonstrate that you can have great care and service and that it can be affordable."
Tyson will succeed George Halvorson, Kaiser's current CEO and chairman. After taking over as CEO in May of next year, Tyson will become chairman in December 2013.
Tyson conceived of and headed up Kaiser's high-profile "Thrive" campaign, which he called "a big part of our marketing effort."
"The whole point is to bring health awareness into the minds and hearts of our members and the American people," he said. "That message is as relevant today as when we created it."
Wanda Jones, president of San Francisco-based New Century Healthcare Institute, a nonprofit that tracks the health care industry, also gave the Thrive campaign high marks.
"Thrive is understandable, it's popular," Jones said. "It's hard to fully quantify its effects, but Kaiser is consistent with what they do. Their programs emphasize a healthy lifestyle. I like that about them."
Oakland-based Kaiser serves more than 9 million members, generates nearly $50 billion in annual revenue, has more than 180,000 employees and 17,000 affiliated physicians.
Tyson will be kept busy supervising the completion of seven major hospitals on the West Coast, including three in the Bay Area. Over the next few years, Kaiser will be opening new hospitals in Oakland, San Leandro and Redwood City.
Born and raised in Vallejo, Tyson has lived in the Bay Area his entire life, with the exception of a brief stint in Washington, D.C. He now resides in Pleasanton.
"This is the most challenging and exciting time Kaiser has been through," Tyson said. "There is no question the health care industry can do better. We will have opportunities to improve. But the fundamental model is definitely working."

Gronings Blauw
For the better part of my career, I've worked under my own name. While this has advantages in personal visibility, it also closes out the opportunity to have things grow to include other people and new methods. It was time for a change.A Creative Workshop
Shortly, all of my professional design projects will happen under the name Gronings Blauw.
While there's a fancy new name, it's still just me around here. The goals are the same, too: make products more useful, ideas more understandable, and life more fun.Design for the Curious
I have some availability for select consulting and design projects. I'm particularly interested in projects that translate bold ideas into printed material or digital technology. Get in touch if you think we're a good fit.
Until next time,

In a last minute change to the agenda, the city of Canandaigua's Ordinance Committee will discuss downtown crosswalk safety during tonight's 7 p.m. meeting at the Hurley Building.
The topic is being revisited following the death of Viki L. Perry, 56, of Canandaigua, who was struck by a car in a South Main Street intersection Sept. 10. She died of injuries from the accident later that day at Strong Memorial Hospital, in Rochester.
As part of the city's Main Street renovation project, City Council approved yellow flashing lights at three Main Street crosswalks — including the Saltonstall and Antis streets crossing — in April. Tonight's meeting will discuss additional safety measures that can be taken.
The meeting will be in the Hurley Building's conference room. The building is located at 205 Saltonstall Street in Canandaigua.

Hello, firstly thanks for a great media server for the ps3 (so glad to have found one that works so well with minimal need to fiddle for weeks with config files!)
Anyway, I'm currently running the mediaserver headless on an ubuntu server and everything works brilliantly (even set up a little init.d script to stop/start the mediaserver when my machine starts and stops), however there is no way to execute a scan of the shared folders without opening the gui (as far as I can tell).
Would it be possible to implement some sort of command that could be run from the command line to tell the mediaserver to re-scan the shared folders, or maybe have the mediaserver itself implement a re-scan at certain intervals?

(Will Lester/Staff Photographer) San Bernardino County Sheriff deputies along with other law enforcement agencies continue the manhunt for Christopher Jordan Dorner Friday February 8, 2013 near Bear Mountain in Big Bear. Search conditions have been hampered as a heavy winter storm has hit the area. (WILL LESTER)
As law enforcement continues its search today in the Big Bear Valley for Christopher Dorner, the former Los Angeles police officer accused in the killing of three people, they will have to deal with tougher conditions than on Thursday.
Snow has fallen in the area since last night. At least five inches of snow have accumulated.
Heavy snow is falling right now with temperatures at 23 degrees.
The forecast for today is snow showers with temperatures ranging from 16 to 34 degrees.
Saturday's temperature is expected to be 35 degree with sunny skies. Clear skies are expected for several days thereafter.

- Product Description
Glass Sidecar Bubbler Handpipe - Silver and Gold Fume - Colored Glass and Magnifiers
The sidecar bubbler is a stylish way to enjoy waterpipe percolation in a smaller, more portable handpipe. This piece from American Glass Works is a truly a work of art, with its swirling silver and gold fuming, colored glass and a long, slender, worked tentacle snaking up the side of the bowl. Clear glass marbles and magnifiers also decorate the bowl. The stem features elegant curves and bulges, or "marias" in glassblower's speak. The deep chamber sits on the left of the stem and helps cool smoke as it travels through to the mouthpiece. The sidecar's bottom is flat, enabling you to rest the pipe safely on your coffee table.
Because each pipe is individually handblown by glass artists in an Oregon collective, the pipe you receive will be one-of-a-kind. The colors may vary from what you see in the photo, but the overall design will be the same. Fumed glass changes color over time with heat and buildup, so your pipe's look will evolve as you use it. Thorough cleaning will return it to its original hues, so you can watch it slowly change all over again! This photo was taken after some use so you can see how the colors on your glass bubbler might develop.

Published: Monday, September 9, 2013 at 9:42 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 9, 2013 at 8:35 p.m.
A motorist and his passenger were killed Monday morning in south Lafourche when he pulled into the path of an oncoming truck, State Police said.
Steven Bourg, 71, of Larose and his passenger, Patricia Farmer, 63, of Galliano were killed about 6 a.m. when Bourg ran a stop sign at West 15th Street and La. 3235 and pulled into the path of an oncoming truck, State Police Troop C spokesman Evan Harrell said.
The northbound 1992 Chevrolet Silverado hit Bourg's 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier in the passenger door, police said. Ivy Terrebonne Jr., 35, of Cut Off, driver of the Silverado, was taken to Our Lady of the Sea Hospital with injuries that police describe as minor. He was wearing a seat belt.
Bourg and Farmer were pronounced dead at the scene, he said.
Alcohol use is not suspected, but state-mandated blood-alcohol tests are pending.

Robinson Memorial Hospital, in conjunction with Northeast Ohio Cardiovascular Specialists (NEOCS), has introduced a service to support your doctor in managing your heart failure condition. The Heart Failure Clinic is located on the first floor of the Robinson Professional Center on the hospital's main campus in Ravenna.
The goal of the Heart Failure Clinic is to educate patients about medications, lifestyle and dietary adjustments and strategies for monitoring their symptoms at home. The Heart Failure Clinic also educates patients about when to contact their health care provider so they can avoid worsening symptoms that may lead to hospitalization.
In addition, patients will be evaluated to determine if they may benefit from different medications, doses and/or from special pacing options now available for patients with persistent symptoms of heart failure.
Communicating with your primary care physician
The Heart Failure Clinic does not replace your primary care physician. Your doctor will receive a copy of your assessment and any medication adjustments or recommendations for further follow-up.
If you do not have a primary care physician, you will be given a referral to establish a relationship with a primary care physician.
Scheduling an appointment at the Heart Failure Clinic
Patients interested in treatment at the Heart Failure Clinic should discuss referral with their primary physician.
For more information, or to make a referral, please contact the Heart Failure Clinic by calling (330) 297-8295.

New Mexico Sets New Goals for Specific Renewable Power Sources
August 15, 2007
A new rule from the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (PRC) has established specific targets for various renewable power sources that utilities must meet in achieving the state's renewable energy requirement. The New Mexico legislature extended the state's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) earlier this year, requiring utilities to draw on renewable energy for 10% of their electricity by 2011 and for 20% of their electricity by 2020. In implementing that policy through a new rule, the PRC took the unusual step of adding additional requirements for how utilities will meet the RPS. Starting in 2011, the new PRC rule requires solar power to provide at least 20% of the renewable power supply, while wind power must provide at least 20% of the renewable power, and biomass and geothermal energy must provide at least 10%. In addition, distributed power sources must provide at least 1.5% of the renewable power supply as of 2011, increasing to 3% of the renewable power supply in 2015.
The new rule requires utilities to document their compliance with the RPS through renewable energy credits (RECs) and also requires utilities to track their use of RECs via the new Western Renewable Energies Geographic Information System. Utilities will be excused from the RPS targets if achieving them would raise the cost of electricity by more than 2% or if diversification cannot be accomplished without impairing system reliability. See the PRC press release (PDF 34 KB), the final rule (PDF 101 KB), and for background, the article from this newsletter on the new RPS requirements. Download Adobe Reader.

Three men wearing scarves held customers and employees at a local convenience store at gunpoint. (WRDW-TV)
News 12 at 11 o'clock / Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Robbers told a clerk and customers at an Augusta convenience store to "Pull your pants off!"
Three men wearing scarves around their faces entered JR's Stop and Shop on MLK Boulevard Saturday around 8:30 p.m.
A man who was in the store when it happened told News 12 all seven victims did as they were told.
"'Cause when someone points a gun at you, you going to do what they tell you to do," said a victim who didn't want to be identified.
James Riles, also known as JR, has owned the store for 30 years. In all those years of business, he's only been held up twice -- a pretty good percentage, but he says he'd love to see a lower number.
"Uh, we rather have zero," Riles said.
The three suspects took money, jewelry and cars. The one with the gun even said he was willing to take lives.
"Don't nobody move, because you don't want me to make this a homicide," said a victim, quoting the robber.
Since opening his doors for business in 1983, JR has become well known for his famous sausage dogs, and more importantly, for how much he gives back.
"Mr. JR, he helps out a whole lot of people. A whole lot of people in the community," said a customer.
Once a year, JR throws a block party for the neighborhood kids to inspire them to continue to do well in school and not fall into a life of crime. Despite the robbery, he says he still believes in his neighborhood and doesn't plan on changing a thing.
"Well you can't hold that against the community. Everybody is not the same. People need to try to help anybody they can," Riles said.
He also has a message for those who robbed him and anyone who is thinking about robbing others in the future.
"There's really no future in trying to take anything. If you want to do anything, try and make a living for yourself," Riles said.
And even though this longtime customer isn't ready to appear on camera or identify himself, he says he'll still come to JR's for the good company and good food.
"Them sausage dogs swinging," said the customer.

As a quick side note, the theater in Wallingford is a true gem and a wonderful place to see a show. While The Palace, The Warfield or any other old ornate theater have their place, as do more crowded places such as The Vic or Webster Hall, I have always felt a huge relief coming to Wallingford. The indoor beer garden is HUGE and there is plenty of space to relax, sit, and just chill with friends. I also love that the whole place is carpeted and the acoustics are wonderful. The place has a feeling a modern symphony hall - a much welcomed alternate.
This tour found TAB doing one long set with usually an acoustic middle section. Trey would stay on the stage for the whole night and while not as good as two sets, it worked OK. The biggest surprise the night before was Skeeto was out of the band (mid-tour) and replaced by Tony's friend - Ray Weber. That show was fine with the new drummer and I wasn't expecting anything different this night. (I actually ran into Tony at the hotel the night before and I asked him what happened and he did not give me an explanation).
The first part of the show was a smoking par for the course TAB show. The 70V piped through the PA (always loved this) and right smack into a wicked Push. Again all songs getting great treatment, nice flow with some slower tunes mixed in and we find ourselves at a fantastic Night Speaks to close this section. I love TAB acoustic songs, can't stand when he play Phish songs - so Hood and Sample didn't do anything.
The real meat of the show is the post-acoustic. They smoke the Spin With, Sand, Way I Feel, Comes As. I mean destroy all 4 songs and what fantastic flow...The With jam (I know not commonly used, but some of us settled on calling the new jam this) was a monster with Tony getting so into it. And then a ripping Sand, slow it down with Way I Feel and bring it back with Comes As. I saw 4 shows this tour (Albany, this and 2 Warfield)...this 4 song run was by far my favorite.
[Also Ray's band opened the show and Trey did not come out for a song. I have no idea what song, but somebody does.]
