Dry areas cover 41% of the world's land area and are home to one-third of the global population. ICARDA's research focuses on dry areas in developing countries – some 3 billion hectares, supporting over 1.7 billion people.
About 16% of this population lives in chronic poverty, particularly in marginal rainfed areas. The dry areas are challenged by rapid population growth, frequent droughts, high climatic variability, land degradation and desertification, and widespread poverty. The complex of relationships between these challenges has created a "Poverty Trap."
ICARDA's founding mandate to promote agricultural development in the dry areas of developing countries remains highly relevant today. ICARDA's research is implemented through a network of regional programs and country offices across Asia and Africa.

Electric co-ops were originally developed in the communities they serve, where they remain rooted, maintaining a strong link and commitment to them. The Youth Tour and Youth Leadership Council help this commitment flourish by educating youth about the history, functions and opportunities of co-ops.
Two years ago, if asked about cooperatives, I probably would have known only the name of my local co-op, Pearl River Valley EPA, based in Columbia, Miss. If asked to identify my community, I would have described the area where I live, which is Hattiesburg.
Now, however, my responses to both questions would be very different.
This past year, I have learned why co-ops were founded and how they spread electricity across rural America. When the Youth Leadership Council (YLC) visited NRECA headquarters last July, we learned how co-ops operate today, working with their communities and one another to provide the best and most efficient services.
I saw this "cooperative" nature firsthand following Hurricane Katrina when co-ops from other states dispatched emergency crews to our community in Mississippi, before the storm even made landfall.
I also realized that co-ops are involved in exploring renewable energy, as well as other types of technology. Imagine my surprise when I learned that local co-ops contribute through NRECA's International program to spread electricity to rural areas of Bolivia, southern Sudan, the Philippines and other countries.
Suddenly, I realized that what I thought was merely about my local community was actually part of a much larger community.
Perhaps the most important influence of the Youth Tour and YLC on me has been in my concept of community. I had the opportunity to meet students from 44 states, including Alaska and Hawaii, and the friendships I made will never fade. Even though we came from different settings and lifestyles, and even though we had different accents, we each realized that we were basically the same.
At NRECA's annual meeting in February, my fellow YLC members and I had the opportunity to work firsthand to help our co-ops, and in turn, our communities. Through our work at the Congressional Action Center, we were able to educate co-op members about congressional issues affecting cooperatives and send more than 6,000 e-mails to representatives and senators on behalf of those members.
This took what I had been learning in my American Government class to a new level, as I actually took on the role of a citizen-lobbyist.
Through the Youth Tour and YLC, I had the opportunity to see what can be accomplished by working together. I realized that we do not need to limit ourselves to what appears to be our immediate community, but our national and international communities can, and do, work together to help one another in the cooperative spirit.
The friendships and experiences, and lessons about life, leadership and even myself that I gained from the Youth Tour and Youth Leadership Council are invaluable, and it is an experience I would recommend for any young person.
Kent Ford of Hattiesburg, Miss., is the National Youth Leadership Council spokesperson.

Do diets high in omega-3 fatty acids from fish protect people from cognitive decline and dementia?
Evidence from observational studies suggests that they can, but only recently has the strength of this potential protective power been tested in controlled clinical trials.
In observational studies (and other epidemiological studies), researchers compare peoples estimated omega-3 intakes to their brain-health status.
Epidemiological studies can detect statistical correlations between omega-3 intakes and brain health, but they cannot prove them.
Last summer, researchers reviewed the data from three randomized controlled trials of omega-3 supplements considered of high quality.
Each of these trials lasted at least six months and involved participants aged 60 years and over who started out free from dementia or cognitive impairment.
As they wrote, The [three] available trials showed no benefit of omega-3 supplementation on cognitive function in cognitively healthy older people ... (Sydenham E et al. 2012)
But weve reported positive results from clinical trials using omega-3 supplements, and studies that used blood tests to determine peoples omega-3 levels.
In these studies, high omega-3 blood levels or omega-3 fish oil supplements seemed to enhance brain function in middle-aged and younger adults ... see Brain Health in Middle Age Tied to a Fishy Omega-3, Brain Decline Deterred by Omega-3s & Vitamins, Omega-3 Trial in Seniors Finds Mood & Brain Benefits, Fish Oil Aided Size and Health of Aging Brains, Brain Health in Middle Age Tied to a Fishy Omega-3, Omega-3s Boosted Young Adults Brains and Omega-3s Linked to Slower Brain Aging.
Now, a small trial from Sweden adds a bit more credibility to the idea that supplemental omega-3 fish oil yields real brain anti-aging benefits.
Fish oil trial finds brain and metabolic benefits
This small trial comes from Swedens Lund University, and was designed to evaluate the effects of omega-3 fish oil supplements on cognitive performance and metabolic risk measures and to look for any links between the two (Nilsson A et al. 2012).
The authors described the context and purposes of their trial:
- Higher [blood omega-3 fatty acid levels] have been associated with a lower risk of age related cognitive decline, and to beneficially affect cardio-metabolic risk factors. A relation exists between metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes and cognitive decline.
- Results regarding the potential effects of [dietary omega-3 fatty acids] on risk factors in healthy subjects are divergent, and studies regarding the possible relation between cardio-metabolic parameters and cognitive performance are scarce.
- The objective was to evaluate the effects of five weeks intake of long chain [omega-3 fatty acids] on cognitive performance in healthy individuals, and to exploit the possible relation between outcomes in cognitive tests to cardio-metabolic risk parameters.
A research team led by Professor Inger Björck recruited 40 healthy participants aged between 51 and 72 years (Nilsson A et al. 2012).
The volunteers were divided into two groups, each of which followed one of two daily supplement regimens:
Placebo capsules
Capsules containing three grams of omega-3s from fish oil
The fish oil capsules provided 1,500mg of omega-3 EPA, 1,050mg of omega-3 DHA, and 450mg of other omega-3s (mostly DPA).
Both groups took their capsules for five weeks, stopped taking pills for a five week washout period, and then switched groups for another five weeks of taking placebo or fish oil capsules.
After the 15-week period of the trial, their cognitive performance was then determined by tests measuring working memory (WM) and selective attention.
In addition, the researchers measured key metabolic risk factors such as blood pressure, blood triglyceride levels, fasting glucose levels, and levels of a pro-inflammatory protein called TNF-alpha.
As they reported, the results were encouraging: Daily intake of omega-3 [fatty acids] from fish oil during five weeks significantly improved cognitive functions (working memory capacity) in healthy subjects. (Nilsson A et al. 2012)
In addition, inverse relations were obtained between cardio-metabolic risk factors and cognitive performance, indicating a potential of dietary prevention strategies to delay onset of metabolic disorders and associated cognitive decline. (Nilsson A et al. 2012)
In other words, those whose metabolic risk factors improved also showed improvements in cognitive performance.
The Swedish team stressed that this link highlights the role of dietary choices in preventing or delaying cognitive and metabolic declines.

Day two at the SEC Tournament gives us some nice matchups.
First we have Georgia against Alabama. Many feel this is an NCAA elimination game. I think both teams should be in the tournament regardless, but the loser will be sweating Selection Sunday.
In the second game we have Ole Miss and Kentucky. These two played a barn burner in the first meeting with Chris Warren hitting a buzzer-beater for the win. Look for UK to get revenge today.
The game of the day could be the third game between Tennessee and Florida. The Gators won two nail biters against the Vols this year. It's tough to beat a team three times in a season. The Vols could cement their NCAA bid with a win today. Florida wants this SEC Championship to go along with their regular season title. This will be a good one.
In the nightcap we have Vanderbilt and Mississippi State. These two teams played a good one earlier this year. MSU needs to win the whole thing to make the NCAAs. They have talent capable of doing it. Renardo Sidney can take a game over. John Jenkins of Vandy is a bit banged up. Whether he can go tonight and be effective might determine Vandy's fate.

If you're still on the fence about dropping another wad of cash on more Borderlands 2 DLC, especially when it's not exactly the highlight of the series, you need only answer one question: do you want more Borderlands 2? Because that's what you'll be getting with "Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage."
It's got all the ingredients: hilarious writing, ridiculous characters, insane weapons and loot, jolly cooperation, and a new vault to open. There's even another super badass level 50 boss to take on with your experienced friends once the main missions are over, in addition to multiple side quests and other distractions.
So how about it? Are you down for more Borderlands 2, or are you still holding out for the "Zombie Island" or "Robot Uprising" of this installment?

I'm taking issue with Erik the Wintroll who claimed that Powershell is
superior to Linux Bash, and to me *one* example is enough to prove him
Why would I bother understanding Windows Powershell, I only use Linux,
and this is a Linux advocacy group ?
You can argue the fine points all day long, but surely the advocacy of
the Windows Powershell belongs in another Usenet group where *Windows
Advocacy* is welcome ?
I'm here to *ESCAPE* Windows, not to learn any more about it, what I know
about Windows drove me to Linux in 1997.

Voici les premières photos officielles de la Volvo S60 Concept qui sera présenté au prochain Salon de l'auto de Detroit (NAIAS). Véritable ode au design suédois, la S60 Concept nous offre un avant-goût de ce que sera la prochaine S60 prévue pour 2010.
The Volvo S60 Concept gives the car world a glimpse of what the all-new Volvo S60 is going to look like when it arrives in 2010.
"The all-new S60 will be one of the strongest players in a segment where the competition is razor-sharp," says Volvo Cars President and CEO Stephen Odell. The coupe-inspired lines that gave the original S60 its characteristic stance are even more pronounced in the next generation. "The sporty design gives visual promise of an enthusiastic drive and I can assure you here and now that the all-new S60 will live up to that promise. The driving properties are better than in any previous Volvo. The car's technology will help you to be a better and safer driver," says Stephen Odell. The Volvo S60 Concept is being shown for the very first time at the Detroit Motor Show in early January 2009. The production version of the all-new Volvo S60 will be introduced in 2010.

If you love fall weather and sweet treats, chances are Halloween just may be your favorite holiday. It's definitely ours!
Kick-start your spooky holiday with some fun and delicious Halloween S'mores Bars. Even the most inexperienced chef can bake up these easy bar cookies! I made these at my son's suggestion. He spotted the orange marshmallows at Walmart and was happy to find a way to use them!
These sweet treats have all of the ingredients of traditional S'mores baked into a bar cookie! We used pumpkin marshmallows for the orange pop of color, HERSHEY's Chocolate Chips and HERSHEY Bar pieces to finish these delightful treats.
Halloween S'mores Cookies
5 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
6 Tablespoons Shortening
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 ½ cups flour
1/2 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate HERSHEY'S chips
1 cup orange marshmallows chopped in small pieces
3 regular sized HERSHEY'S bars
1-2 packages graham crackers, in squares
Cream butter, shortening and sugar in electric mixer. Add eggs and vanilla.
Combine baking soda, flour, and salt. Add to mixture. Beat at medium speed until combined. Add HERSHEY'S Chips and marshmallows. We sprinkled our marshmallows on after scooping the dough to make them more uniform.
Line baking pan with parchment paper. Then add graham cracker squares so sides are touching to fill the pan. Add a scoop of batter (approximately 1.5 tablespoons) to each graham cracker square.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 8 minutes. Remove and top with HERSHEY'S chocolate. Allow 30 minutes of cooling time before cutting.

A man who owns 10 Flint-area bars has been charged with operating illegal casinos as part of a statewide crackdown.
Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox said in a statement that Craig Hatch was arraigned Wednesday on 10 counts of operating a casino without a license. Each offense carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $100,000 fine.
Authorities say bars owned by Hatch operated illegal poker-machines from March 2006 to November 2007, allowing patrons to gamble as if they were in a licensed casino. They said Hatch paid cash winnings to patrons while taking measures to evade detection by law enforcement.
Cox said 35 defendants have been charged for their roles in the operation.
A message seeking comment was left Friday by The Associated Press at a phone listing in Hatch's name.

ARTS IN AMERICA; Each Voyage of Discovery Is One for the Books
By SAM HOWE VERHOVEK
Published: November 18, 1999
SEATTLE, Nov. 17— Shortly into his new book, ''Passage to Juneau: A Sea and its Meanings,'' set around his solo voyage in a 35-foot ketch from Seattle to Alaska, Jonathan Raban makes an intriguing admission that grows increasingly apt as the disparate strands of this sweeping travelogue come together.
''I am afraid of the sea,'' writes this British-born author. ''I fear the brush-fire crackle of the breaking wave as it topples into foam; the inward suck of the tidal whirlpool; the loom of a big ocean swell, sinister and dark, in windless calm; the rip, the eddy, the race; the sheer abyssal depth of the water, as one floats, like a trustful beetle on the surface tension.''
He is, Mr. Raban continues, ''a timid, weedy, cerebral type, never more out of my element than when I'm at sea.'' And yet, he says, ''for the last 15 years, every spare day that I could tease from the calendar has been spent afloat, in a state of undiminished fascination with the sea.''
Longtime readers of Mr. Raban (pronounced RAY-bin), who was drawn to this water-surrounded city from London nine years ago and now makes his home here, will recognize his attraction to water as well as the itinerant curiosity and quest for adventure that suffuse ''Passage to Juneau'' (Pantheon). He once spent four months in a 16-foot aluminum outboard traveling down the Mississippi River for his 1981 book ''Old Glory,'' and he sailed solo in a tubby ketch around the British Isles for ''Coasting.''
Even writing 1,000 miles inland about Montana homesteaders for his most acclaimed book, ''Bad Land: An American Romance,'' Mr. Raban could not quite escape nautical images. ''Breasting the regular swells of land, on a red dirt road as true as a line of longitude, the car was like a boat at sea,'' begins ''Bad Land,'' which won the 1997 National Book Critics Circle Award for general nonfiction.
Sitting in a Seattle restaurant recently -- as the fog rolled over Elliott Bay, disappearing for a bit to reveal some grand autumnal light and then sweeping right back in again to obscure it -- Mr. Raban, 57, said he was quite comfortable with the notion of himself as literary vagabond, whether on land or sea. A smile breaking across his craggy face, he said he was delighted several years ago when immigration officials presented him with the so-called green card -- it is pink, actually, he demonstrates by producing it -- that officially proclaims him to be a ''resident alien'' in this country.
''I've kind of always been a resident alien,'' said Mr. Raban, who has written 11 books in all, including several about the United States, and served as editor for ''The Oxford Book of the Sea.''
''I think it's sort of the job of a writer to be a resident alien,'' he continued. ''I was certainly a resident alien in England. But it wasn't until I came to live in the United States that somebody actually gave me this formal title and a card to put inside my wallet.''
Water, he said, has mesmerized him since he was a small boy in Norfolk exploring the first stretches of the River Wensum, just a few hundred yards from his home. ''I think I had sort of an addiction to water,'' he said. ''The best moment of having a bath was pulling the plug and watching the water spin in a whirlpool'' down through the drain. ''I was transfixed by puddles.''
The sea, of course, is a far cry from the bathtub, and Mr. Raban really only learned to sail when he decided to write ''Coasting'' in the mid-1980's. He was afraid then, he says, and he remains afraid now.
''Fear is part of the fascination,'' said Mr. Raban, who kept a nervous eye on Puget Sound even on an afternoon sail out of Bainbridge Island, the Washington State ferries passing nearby, the Seattle skyline comfortably in view.
''The reason why Conrad writes so well of the sea is, like any professional seaman,'' he fears it, he said. ''People who love the sea, who say they love the sea, are the real amateurs. I never believe anybody when they say that. I think, 'Well, you just don't know much about it.' It means they've been on a cruise ship somewhere.
''Anybody who's had to deal firsthand with the sea and its real dangers knows that its extraordinarily mercurial nature -- from being the friendliest thing to the most dangerous -- is part of its overwhelming fascination. Nothing could be more tumultuous than the sea. It is a model of chaos, of all the things that can go haywire.''
He could have been talking about the theme of his new book. If the idea that ran through ''Bad Land'' was failure -- the book was about the crushed dreams of the settlers lured to the Great Plains by the railroads at the turn of the century -- the motif of ''Passage to Juneau'' is turbulence.
The book explores the physical turbulence of the water itself, as he considers the physics of waves and whirlpools in the Inside Passage during the 1,000-mile trip. It embraces the disquieting mythology and fantastic art and imagery that coastal Indians employed to give their meaning to the sea. And it inquires into the tensions and human turbulence that beset the crew of Discovery, Capt. George Vancouver's ship, which he sailed up the Inside Passage in 1792, to prove that the fabled Northwest passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans did not indeed exist.

I have a request to download the standard prices of the previous month.
Below is the Example:
Material A having the current standard price of $ 100 in Jan,2011 and $ 90 in Dec,2010.
I can see the standard price of $90 under Accounting View 1 against "Period 12.2010" Tab.
I would like to know how can I download the previous month standard prices for the whole list of Materials using Tables or any standard Report.
Hi ,
Use table MBEWH ... put the period and year as the period you need .. you will then get the standard price of that period.
You can also take it from MBEW table .. as their is a field of previous price.. Take the dump of previous price field in MBEW and analyze the same
Hi Pandu
If you want just the standard price, MBEWH will do
If you want its break up as well, then you need to develop a report using KEKO, KEPH tables... You need to fetch all the costs which were valid in previous month + Status = FR (Released w/o errors)
BR,Ajay M
Hi Pandu,
You can meet your requirement through SAP standard report. Find more details:
Use t-code: S_P99_41000111 - Analyze/Compare Material Cost Estimates.
Enter the below details in selction screen:
Material................ To ................
Costing Variant,
Costing Date, Valid From (enter the range of dates. e.g. 01.10.2010 to 01.01.2011)
Costing Status = FR (Released Without Errors).
Execute the above selction.
Check in your output layout/change the layout to get Costing date (Key), Costing Status. Material, Plant, etc.
You will be able to view/download the current month & previous month standard prices.
Thanks & Regards,
Hi Pandu,
just read MBEW for current period and MBEWH for previous periods.
Keep in mind that system only creates MBEWH entries if there is a material movement or price change in that period.
This means: some periods might be missing in MBEWH. In this case you have to read the older MBEWH entry.
Pevious price in MBEW is not always the price of the previous period (you can do mroe than one price change per period).
You are using material ledger. If you want standard prices other than for currency type 10 then you have to read the ML tables.

Did You See This? Jared Berggren's late show
Credit: Mary Langenfeld-USA TODAY Sports
Wisconsin held a small lead late in the game on Thursday night, but Penn State wouldn't go away for most of the second half. And then the 6-foot-10 Jared Berggren delivered two smashing dunks. On the first, he took a nice bounce pass from Mike Bruesewitz.

A Feminist 'Blurred Lines' Parody to End the Summer
Closing the book.
"Blurred Lines" has at last received the feminist parody response it needed, and we can now comfortably bid adieu to the summer of 2013. University of Auckland law students Zoe Ellwood, Olivia Lubbock, and Adelaide Dunn, a.k.a. "the Law Revue" Girls, rewrote Robin Thicke and Pharrell's lyrics to include facials, box gaps, and landing strips, and reshot the video so the guys were in their underwear, giving them manicures and doing push-ups under their stilettos and such. Better yet — the icing on the cake of sexual double standards — the video was briefly removed from YouTube yesterday after it was flagged as "inappropriate content." In related, thank-God-this-summer's-over news, today a nationally syndicated newspaper columnist blamed last year's rape in Steubenville, retroactively, on Miley Cyrus's twerking.

Here's some great new collage work from Randy Mora. At first glance, his illustrations have a classic, elegant feel to them, but it's the more unnerving, uncomfortable elements that tend to grab the attention.
Mixed in with the flowers and pleasant portraiture is an underlying theme of death and nature, but presented in a quite straight forward way, like what you'd expect from medical illustration.
Although Randy seems to enjoy shocking viewers, if not at least making them a little uneasy, I think his work still comes across as incredibly beautiful. The aged tones and simple compositions have such a nice quality to them, and the occasional whiff of organs, while being surprising, should also raise a smile.

On a pond in Armonk in New York State, the fiery red leaves at water's edge reflects perfectly at 4pm on one fall day. A drop of water falls down from the beak of this white duck spreading out into concentric circles, and then it is gone. Only a photograph can hold this unique trickle of time.

It's been 25 years since "Back to the Future" was released, and while the movie now can seem dated to people who weren't around to watch it in a theater, it's still a fun ride.
The 25th Anniversary Trilogy has been released on Blu-ray. For those of you who don't know, "Back to the Future" starred Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly, who goes back to the 1950s in a time machine made out of a DeLorean and becomes entangled with his parents on the day they originally met and became a couple. Marty has to make sure his parents fall in love by the end of the Under the Sea dance before his existence is wiped out. The sequels are less charming but just as much fun.
The Blu-ray features two hours of all-new features, including a six-part retrospective documentary featuring never-before-seen interviews with the cast, crew and filmmakers.
Among the extras are Fox in a storyboard sequence; The Physics of Back To The Future, and 16 deleted scenes. It is $47.99 on Amazon.com.
"I don't like trends. If anything, I want to look the opposite of what is being predicted! Above all, I dislike vulgarity. Being sexy is all good, but there is such a thing as too much."

We had a fantastic time in Houston this weekend. Trey and I enjoyed a night away and found we still actually like to hang out with each other sans children. Which is a good thing since, so far this morning, I've contemplated selling them to the circus about six times.
As we speak, Graham is messing up Olivia's just-made-bed in effort to drive both her and me totally and absolutely crazy before 10:00 a.m.
The boy's got high aspirations.
Seeing everyone Saturday night was such a great reminder of high school and how fairly simple life was. At the time, it may not have seemed like such a walk in the park but, now, with responsibilities abounding, it was a sweet time of friends, fun, and very little homework. At least that's what I told my mother.
I think we were all relieved to see we were using a lot less hairspray, a lot less blue eyeshadow, and have learned the proper place for pleated jean shorts, flowered jeans, and half-shirts - far, far away from our bodies.
These were some of my oldest friends who now have husbands, children, and fabulous hair. The damages of Aussie Scrunch Spray long since gone.

New to playing thief? check out a summary of each build!
Posted 22 November 2012 - 04:36 PM
it is not meant to be viewed as an in depth guide, nor should you pay attention to stats / utilities.
The ratings i gave to each build is my own, and is purely anecdotal. you can argue that backstabs 4/5 offense rating is equal to PW 4.5/5, but again, these are my opinions, not anything factualy concrete.
Here are the builds more indepth guides:
Bleed Build:
Backstab Build:
Pistol Whip:
Posted 23 November 2012 - 12:26 AM
'Needs a demonstration of the build in actual gameplay to support your idea. Maybe go against a mob of three in PvE or WvW. Also demonstrate us against supply camp as you stated and the 1v1.'
Posted 23 November 2012 - 01:37 AM
Posted 23 November 2012 - 04:11 AM
Anyone that has played both knows the theif is deficient in every aspect other than tagging mobs.

if i can make a 5/5 offense / defense thief build, that would be OP as hell.
each build has weaknesses / stengths.

It's a bit arbitrary since in the same breath you explain each build better than the number. However, I think you missed out on secondary weapons and the true benefit to backstab+shortbow combo. Best build because most diverse; greatest traversal, greatest single-target DPS, greatest AoE, both condition and power-wise.
Posted 26 November 2012 - 12:49 AM
Minion, on 25 November 2012 - 01:06 AM, said:
and back to what i was saying, i do not think that those things warrant a 5/5 for offense/def, especially because backstab has a very small window.

plain ole sock
1 Attachment(s)
Using pattern from my Ann Budd sock book...the yarn is Felici - bought it a looonng time ago!
Nothing plain, ole about socks knit with that yarn. I'm thinking they'll be spectacular.
Like the color! can you please post more pics as you go along? ....curious to see how it develops.
Neon lime green--that's not "plain ole" in any of my books!
Yes, I'd like to see some progress, too. These are going to be a treat to see.
I agree. You can't possibly have plain ole socks with that yarn. You will be able to walk around at night without a flashlight! lol I love the color!!!
I like strong colours. Lol
I'm strongly drawn to saturated colours - our bedroom is painted a rich deep blue and dh's office is painted a rich green.
http://www.ravelry.com/people/KnitCr...stash/felici-2 it's this yarb. Greeeeeen veggies.
I will, Woodi. It's slow going with skinny yarn and a demanding 6 week old. Also, I'm having trouble seeing the stitches even with my glasses on. Been two years since I had my eyesight checked.
Cool way to get your veggies! What size needles are you using? I love day-glo neon socks, I'm planning some psychedelic ones.
Nothin' plain about such a colorful sock!
Size 1.
I bought a skein of psycho colour sock yarn ages ago...it's called Footee or something. It's like hot pink, bright blue....hee hee. Life is too short for boring!

This is an excerpt from EERE Network News, a weekly electronic newsletter.
January 08, 2003
New Mexico Adopts Minimum Renewable Energy Requirements
After an extended period of review, the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission approved an order on December 17th that will require public utilities in the state to use renewable energy for a percentage of their total electricity supply. By January 1, 2006, public utilities must draw on renewable energy for 5 percent of the electricity that they sell. That percentage must increase at least 1 percent per year until 2011, when renewable energy will supply at least 10 percent of the electricity sold by public utilities.
The commission's order also encourages some forms of renewable energy by allowing them to earn extra credit. New hydropower facilities less than 50 megawatts in capacity and any wind power facilities are credited with the actual kilowatt-hours that they produce, but solar power systems earn three times the actual kilowatt-hours they produce. Electricity produced from biomass, landfill gas, geothermal energy, or fuel cells earn twice their actual kilowatt-hours. For instance, a utility could meet the 10 percent requirement by using solar power for 3.33 percent of its power needs, or using geothermal energy for 5 percent of its power.
The rule exempts rural electric cooperatives in the state, although they must provide a green power option to their customers. Texas-New Mexico Power Company is also exempt until December 2006, when the utility's existing power contract expires. See the commission's order (PDF 20 KB). Download Acrobat Reader.

Wednesday November 28, 2012
ATHENS, Ga. --- Georgia junior outside linebacker Jarvis Jones has been named an American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) FBS All-American for the second consecutive year.
The AFCA has selected an All-America team since 1945 and currently selects teams in all five of its divisions. The nation's coaches choose this squad and eight of the 25 team members this season are from the Southeastern Conference.
Jones and Bulldog tight end Orson Charles (currently with the Cincinnati Bengals) were honored as 2011 AFCA All-Americans.
The Bulldogs have been represented 35 times by 29 different players on the AFCA All-America Team. Georgia's Herschel Walker is the only three-time AFCA FBS Coaches' All-American (1980-81-82) in the 68-year history of the team.
A 6-3, 241-pound outside linebacker from Columbus, Jones has accumulated 71 tackles, including 19.5 tackles for loss of 107 yards and 10.5 sacks, one interception, six forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in only 10 games this season. He is the current NCAA active leader in sacks per game (1.0) with 24 in two seasons and is tied for the lead in tackles for loss (1.6) with 39 through this season and last.
Jones has been named a finalist for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy and the Rotary Lombardi, Bednarik and Butkus awards and a semifinalist for the Lott IMPACT Award.
He has twice been named the National Defensive Player of the Week by the Lott IMPACT, Nagurski and Walter Camp awards in 2012 and the SEC Defensive Player of the Week twice this season following his performances during wins at Missouri and versus #3 Florida.

Campolindo High center fielder Brett Stephens bats left, throws right and leads by example.
He helps make the circle complete on a Cougars squad gunning for a fourth consecutive North Coast Section Division II title.
Stephens, who says he's fully recovered from a left shoulder injury suffered in football, is headed to UCLA on a baseball scholarship.
"You're looking at leadership and what he's done in this school, in football and baseball," Cougars coach Max Luckhurst said of Stephens.
"Four-year baseball varsity player, three-year varsity quarterback, and he understands what needs to be done here, and he leads by example."
Luckhurst said the same mindset applies to the Cougars' Cal-bound Robbie Tenerowicz and Oregon State-bound Trent Shelton, a 6-foot-4 pitcher who worked six strong innings in an 8-1 win over Dublin on Tuesday.
"They want the other players to get better because they understand that it's a team thing," Luckhurst said of Shelton, Tenerowicz and Stephens. "It's not just those three guys. It's nine guys on the field. It's No. 9 hitting, it's No. 2 hitting. They all need to be able to contribute. That's the way they treat these guys."
Campolindo (11-6-1, 5-1 Diablo Foothill Athletic League) is riding a six-game winning streak amid a demanding schedule.
The Cougars host rival Acalanes, in a matchup of reigning NCS Division II and Division III champs, at 1 p.m. Saturday.
Acalanes topped Campolindo 2-1 loss in the teams' league openers.
The Cougars' first five opponents were St. Francis-Mountain View (now 23-1), Serra-San Mateo (19-4), De La Salle (10-5), Casa Grande-Petaluma (17-1), and Elk Grove (16-3). They've also faced Fountain Valley (21-1) and Agoura (16-8).
"I think we're coming along just the way you want to come," Stephens said. "We want to play our best baseball when we're going into the NCS playoffs, and we're definitely on that track."
ON HER WAY: Pitcher Shannon Mestas wants to etch her name in Clayton Valley Charter softball history.
Part of a nine-member senior class, Mestas is focused on capping her high school career with Diablo Valley Athletic League and NCS titles.
And by chasing an individual goal, too, Mestas has helped the Eagles become legitimate contenders for both team aspirations.
Mestas hopes to break a school record for strikeouts. With the league season not even halfway over, she has whiffed 144, putting her well on pace to shatter the previous mark of 186. "She's just determined," Eagles coach Kristen Morley said.
Mestas has shared pitching duties since her freshman season and won the league MVP award as a sophomore. She was the co-Most Valuable Pitcher in 2012.
But this year she has been dominant in the circle, tossing two perfect games (Liberty and Ygnacio Valley), three no-hitters and combining with Kaitlyn Covione on a fourth. Mestas' ERA is a .092, having given up just one earned run all year and seven total runs in 14 games, according to Morley.
Mestas is also one of the Eagles' top hitters, batting .487 this year.
Jacee Almond has hit safely in all but one game, hitting .564, and College Park transfer Kierra Willis has also provided a big offensive lift since becoming eligible on April 1.
Willis, an all-league outfielder with the Falcons, has hit four home runs in just five games and could break the school record of five homers in a season.
Clayton Valley is 15-2 overall and turned heads with a close 1-0 defeat to Amador Valley at the Queen of the Mountain tournament in March.
The Dons were the top-ranked team in the nation at the time.
"I think it made it so people recognized Clayton Valley," Morley said. "We knew we could play them, my team definitely doesn't' lack confidence. It just showed we deserve to be on the field with everyone."

The Pang Brothers Rethink Horror With 3-D
The twin Pang brothers are established figures on the horror movie scene, but in some ways their latest project is like starting over. The Hong Kong directing duo — Oxide and Danny — are best-known for their ghost stories, beginning with "The Eye" in 2002. The success of that movie led to two sequels and a Hollywood remake. Their latest movie is "The Child's Eye," Hong Kong's first horror movie shot entirely in 3-D.
Filmed on a budget of $5 million, "The Child's Eye" follows a group of young Hong Kongers trapped in a haunted hotel while vacationing in Bangkok. The Pang brothers have years of experience in scaring audiences, but working in 3-D meant having to rethink every technical aspect of filmmaking. The movie opens around Asia this week.
The Wall Street Journal spoke with Oxide Pang:
Q. Describe the technical challenges of shooting in 3-D.
A. Camera movement, editing, filming on location — it's totally different from 2-D. It took 10 hours to get 12 shots. It took more time to adjust the lighting for the 3-D effects. And we needed to adjust the balance level of the left eye and the right eye — getting the correct focus is important and quite difficult.
Q. What's the key ingredient for a successful horror movie?
A. The atmosphere is most important. When the audience feels they are really sitting inside the location, the emotion is more exciting. … But creating a scary atmosphere is the same all over the world: sound effects, camera movements or something jumping out. The difference is the story — how to make the audience believe it. When they believe the story, they will be more interested in the movie.
Q. How do you keep the horror genre fresh?
A. With 3-D. We can even start over. If I remake "The Eye" in 3-D it will be totally different. It's a new film language for the audience.

After facing major power play issues last season, many wondered if the Flames could click with the man advantage this campaign. Alex Tanguay answered that question in the first period when he was able to tap home the Flames lone marker. His first of the preseason proved to be the game winner and showcased the Flames new power play mentality.
Tanguay is known for responsible play in his own end but the forward was handed a duty he's never been given in his professional career: one shift on the blueline. With Adam Pardy out of the game with an undisclosed injury and Jay Bouwmeester in the box, Tanguay spent one shift as a defenseman.
"Our D's were pretty tired and he (Brent Sutter) just came to me and he's like 'I need a shift on defense,' and I took a second look. It wasn't by design." - Tanguay on his one shift on the blueline.
"It feels good. It's been a good preseason. We've adjusted things, we've worked on things and we're going to continue to do that. There were a lot of real positives out of this training camp." - Jarome Iginla on the 7-0-0 exhibition

A Club Goldman's Glad Not to Be In
Goldman Sachs typically is cast as the villain. Might the Libor scandal be one instance in which it instead ends up as the victim?
While the uproar over the London interbank offered rate has the financial world quaking in its boots, Goldman can happily say it isn't one of the banks that submits quotes for the setting of these rates. (Neither, by the way, is Morgan Stanley.)
If anything, Goldman might have suffered from artificially low rates related to its trading positions. At least that seemed to be what Bernstein analyst Brad Hintz was hinting at on Goldman's earnings call. He asked Goldman finance chief David Viniar if the firm might end up as "an aggrieved market participant." In other words, might it sue other banks involved in Libor?
Mr. Viniar wisely passed on a chance to inject Goldman into a scandal it isn't part of. His response: "Let's just say we're not a provider of Libor and we'll just leave it at that."

Kosgar Lado, 20 years of age (prior reported as 21 years) of Lansing was charged with:
1. Open Murder
2. Assault with Intent to Commit Murder
3. Possession of a weapon with Unlawful Intent
4. Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony.
No Bond Given by Judge Cherry and Lado was remanded to Ingham County Jail. Next hearing dates are July 9, 2013 at 2 PM in front of Judge DeLuca.
LANSING - Lansing Police have named the man they believe shot and killed a man in the city early Wednesday morning. Kosgar Lado, 20, was arraigned Friday on a murder charge, as well as assault with intent to commit murder, and two felony weapons charges. Police say Lado shot and killed 35-year old Anthony Kye in the 600 block of North Pine Street shortly after midnight Wednesday morning. Police say they believe Lado and Kye knew each other, but are not saying what their relationship was. Lado's arrest followed a traffic stop along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Lansing Thursday afternoon.
Lado is jailed without bond.
