Bridgelux Deal Points to Pressures in LED Market
Like solar energy, the field known as LED lighting has been marked by high hopes and tough realities. A new deal this week between a company called Bridgelux and Toshiba is another sign of the times.
The Livermore, Calif., company has raised some $230 million since it was founded in 2003 as eLite Optoelectronics. It began making chips using the technology more formally known as light-emitting diodes, as well as products containing them. LEDs not only generate light using much less electricity than incandescent bulbs, they also last much longer.
After changing its name, Bridgelux grabbed a higher profile after Bill Watkins, the outspoken former CEO of Seagate Technology, took the reins in 2010 and began talking up a radical shift in LED technology. Watkins in February gave up the CEO title to Bradley Bullington, another former Seagate executive, while he remains chairman.
Most LEDs are made by depositing films of the material gallium nitride on a wafer made from sapphire. Bridgelux, while designing and selling LED chips based on that approach, proposed a way to make them much less expensively using lower-cost silicon wafers–the same material used in making most semiconductors.
In May 2012, it reached a deal to help commercialize the technology with Toshiba, a longtime manufacturer of chips and other electronics products. The big Japanese company also took an equity stake in Bridgelux.
Tim Lester, who serves as Bridgelux's chief operating officer and chief financial officer, says there were two paths envisioned for high-volume manufacturing. In one approach, each company would arrange for its own manufacturing, with Toshiba paying Bridgelux a royalty for chips it produced, he says. Or they could have manufactured jointly, with Bridgelux having to share some upfront costs for factory equipment.
The options turned out to be unappealing, Lester says, particularly in view of the fact Bridgelux would have had to raise money–not an easy prospect at the moment for a company in its position. "Our other pathways all required additional capital," Lester says.
So Bridgelux late Monday announced another kind of deal with Toshiba. The larger company is essentially purchasing Bridgelux's silicon LED assets and also hiring a research team of nearly 40 people who will continue to operate within the current building in Livermore. The two companies will collaborate on ramping up a factory in Japan to make the LEDs, which Bridgelux will buy and use in its products.
Instead of having to make a capital investment, in other words, Bridgelux gets an unspecified cash infusion to help keep operating, as well as a reduction in staffing.
Still, the vision seems considerably less ambitious than the original plan for the large building in Livermore. Lester says the company once envisioned getting U.S. Department of Energy loans and conducting manufacturing there, emulating the path taken by the ill-fated Silicon Valley solar panel maker Solyndra.
"We were going to make sapphire chips," Lester says. "It is a much larger building than you'd have for R&D alone."
But LED prices kept dropping at an alarming rate, just like solar panel prices did, and manufacturing seemed too risky. Bridgelux began relying on Asian companies to make its conventional LEDs. Now it will rely on Toshiba for its silicon-based version.
Not all LED startups are throwing in the towel on U.S. manufacturing. Soraa, which has an entirely different technology that places a layer of gallium nitride on a wafer of the same material, is making all its chips at a factory in nearby Fremont, Calif.

At the Met, a Golden Melting Pot
Published: December 11, 1997
(Page 2 of 2)
Yet, the stream of positive publicity and good will generated at this year's party may dissipate as early as next year. Even with the same fund-raising success, it would be hard to imagine the same kind of ambiance if Sears, Roebuck, which took a table for the first time and had been in talks to be a major sponsor of this year's gala, had been the underwriter. The company put its plans on hold when the museum switched the theme from fashion history to Versace.
But there's still next year. Still, E. Ronald Culp, vice president for communications and public affairs for Sears, said: ''We're very interested. It underscores a lot of what we're about now with the softer side of Sears.''
The extra charge that ricocheted off museum walls came from the young celebrities and designers, who effortlessly eclipsed the many social lights who have turned out year after year in support of one of their favorite causes.
Parties like the Met's can be measured not just in the satisfaction of guests or money raised but also in publicity value, a fact that no one knows better than Mr. McCarthy of Fairchild Publications. He has attended many a Met party and was instrumental in changing the grist of W's mill from old-guard socialites to young actors, singers and models.
''This used to be a purely social occasion,'' he said. ''It's become a lot more of a fashion event, and in that it sort of reflects what's going on. A room of socialites is not what it once was.''
Fairchild, Conde Nast and Versace were potent enough draws for the fashion and entertainment celebrity quota. Designers like Valentino, Miuccia Prada, Karl Lagerfeld and Gianfranco Ferre came in from Europe to honor Versace. Mr. Ferre designed an imitation Versace gown -- worn emphatically by Iman -- as a deliberate homage.
Ms. Wintour, who had the right idea when she attempted to orchestrate a quick party in 1995, obviously put great thought into this year's. In an article in the December issue of Vogue and in her letter to the editor, she describes the difficulty in creating the perfect party. Both Ms. Paltrow and Mrs. Graham said they attended because Ms. Wintour had asked them to. ''I know she was close with Gianni so I thought I would come and support her in support of Gianni,'' said Ms. Paltrow, who has been on the cover of the magazine. She added that she was relieved to be at so glamorous an evening that did not revolve around her own industry. ''It's a rare event,'' she said.
Glamour infused the proceedings not least because so many chose to honor Mr. Versace by wearing his clothes, a move that just a year ago would not have put them in the white hot center of fashion.
Mr. Versace's clothes looked more than appropriate in a setting so pulsating with money and fame.
Ms. Koch, too, wore Versace, and showed herself the worthiest of new socialites: in her low-cut, high-slit Versace gown she resembled not so much the socialites of yore but one of today's starlets, out for a turn in front of the cameras.

I am so thoroughly disappointed. I was about to end week 5 on my Couch to 5k app when I was overcome by some back pain on Monday. This was after I got to the 5 min walk, 8 min run, 3min walk, 8 min run and 5 min walk.
The pain was bad but not severe and by Tuesday I felt we'll enough to do the 5 min walk, 20 min run, 5 min walk.
Thursday was an off day, but I did take 2 15 min walks and then last night I help run a baseball practice indoors. The level of activity was light for me at best. I sat on a ball bucket half the time throwing soft toss.
When I went to bed last night, my back pain was pretty bad. My wife, who is a runner, thought that my core my not be ready for any of the longer runs so we did some stretches.
It when I woke up today, it was so bad I literally had to crawl to the bathroom. The pain is in my lower back and depending on how I move, pain is there, under my stomach around the waist and into the front part of my upper thighs. Even some painful sensations around my hips. These are "achy" pains, not burning or sharp. But sometimes the ache lasts long enough it feels sharp or burning a little. That's mainly when I'm moving. The feeling is definitely the kind of feeling you would get in your chest or arms if you lifted too many weights
Can anyone shed any light on what this might be?
I went to a chiro today, he put me through some stretches and said I was really tight. He did the shock massager and then I went and got a full massage (kinda rough - fortunately the pain wasn't as severe as this morning). I have since come home and done more shock massaging and put ice on it for 45 minutes. Oh, and I've taken some back and body aspirin. Right now, it tolerable. By no means is it gone.
I am a heavy guy. But I've lost 14 lbs since jan 1. I am so afraid I'm gonna have to give this up and I want to run a 5k. My wife has been so excited I've started this. I want to be able to run it and not quit.
What can I do to get past this?
When can I start back?
How do I avoid it in the future?
When you are new to running, especially when you are trying to lose weight, it is important to allow time for all the necessary changes to take place. Putting together what your wife and doc have noted, there is a lot of splinting going on to freeze your activity while things heal up. That's your sign to take a break from training. Schedule a later 5k to allow time for a break. There will be plenty more while the weather is good.
Another important point is to avoid other activities that might stress the core muscles during the period of vulnerability that follows any new activity. The ball bucket may have contributed to such strain. I'd re-think that and be careful of posture, especially while sitting on anything. Avoid sitting as much as possible, because it shortens your hip flexors, leading to back strain when you stand. This also applies when running, which requires balanced posture.
Eventually, the running will strengthen your back, as it did mine. I have pretty much eliminated chronic back pains after years of running. Just remember that posture, 24 hours a day (including during sleep), is key. Don't force yourself to straighten up at this time, but start looking for postures and activities that contribute to anterior tightness and cause the back muscles to work harder. After a brief period of rest, gentle exercises and stretches to open up your posture and strengthen the back will help prevent future problems.
Something I got from reading Jeff Galloway is to envision yourself being pulled forward by the belt when you run. This leads to a more open and sustainable posture for endurance running.
Weight will accentuate any postural dangers, so consider strategies to time your nutrition for the best metabolic effect during your downtime, and you can continue burning fat throughout the day. Nutrition is the most important part of any weight-loss program.
Above all, have patience. It's only been a few weeks. You'll do fine, especially as the pounds melt off. Good luck!

Georgia Postpones Execution
The Georgia Department of Corrections has postponed the execution of Warren Hill to July 23, in light of changes to its lethal injection protocol.
On Monday, Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles denied clemency for Mr. Hill, putting him on track to be executed by lethal injection on Wednesday.
The Department of Corrections pushed back his execution on Tuesday, saying in a statement that it's planning to use a single-drug, pentobarbital. The department had been using the drug, along with two others, in its lethal injections.
A shortage in the supply of lethal injection drugs has been a factor in executions of late, and some states have had to modify their procedures.
"The Department has been using pentobarbital in its execution process, and based upon the experience of other states and competent medical testimony, the drug has proven to be effective."
Meanwhile, Mr. Hill's lawyer is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to stay his execution in light of its 2002 ruling that banned the execution of the mentally retarded. The lawyer is asserting that that standard should apply to Mr. Hill, who has an IQ of about 70.

Michael A. Offenberger, 28, of 218 Pennsylvania Ave., was charged Sunday for a theft stemming from an incident at Fantasy 2 Flesh which happened on March 9.
Kimberly A. Fortney, of St. Marys Ave., reported Monday that her Chevrolet Camaro had profanity scratched into the driver's side door on April 1.
Anthony C. Smith, 28, of 877 Dry Run Road, Parkersburg, was served a warrant Tuesday at the Washington County Jail for a theft from Walmart that happened on Feb. 5.
Officers checked on a Washington Square adult female Tuesday that was threatening to kill herself. The woman was taken to Marietta Memorial Hospital for a mental evaluation.
Reports/Washington County
A deputy arrested Wendy R. Sudnik, 37, of 1001 Greene St. Apt. B, Marietta, for domestic violence on Sunday. Sudnik was visiting her sister at 95 Sandhill Road, Marietta, when she angrily confronted her mother, Marta K. Henrie, 55, of 550 Rummer Road, Marietta. During the confrontation, Sudnik grabbed and twisted Henrie's right arm, which she recently broke and was in a cast from her wrist to her shoulder. Henrie stated. Sudnik's actions caused her great pain and that she feared for her safety.
The principal of Frontier High School reported Monday that a 14-year-old student urinated in a classroom trash can during one of his classes on Friday. The New Matamoras resident's teacher denied the teenager's repeated requests to use the restroom because the student routinely uses the excuse to roam the school's hallways for extended periods of time. In addition to being given a five day suspension, the teenager will be summonsed to Juvenile Court for being delinquent.
Jonathan H. Carpenter, 25, of 813 Congress Road, Belpre, reported Tuesday that sometime overnight an unknown suspect(s) entered his unlocked vehicle and stole a GPS unit, a .380 handgun and several CDs. The stolen property has an approximate value of $560.

Home » Raw Recipies » Cookies, Nuggets & Balls » Buttery Shortbread Tea Cookie with Sour Cherry Jam (raw, gluten-free)
The shortbread name can be misleading to those who don't know the cookie. Is it a bread? A cake? A biscuit? Actually, it's all of these things. And did you know that January 6th of each year is National Shortbread Day? Mark your calendars and get your Hallmark greeting cards ready, but lets start the celebration early by making them now! I think these tea sandwich cookies would be a delightful treat to serve friends and family.
A typical baked recipe consists of 2 cups butter, 1 cup packed brown sugar, and 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. Wowza!
I used the Wilton Brownie Dual Cutter. You can find it here. You don't have to own this mighty fine cutter to make this recipe. Any rectangular cookie cutter would do or even a paring knife would work with some free-hand practice. The size of the cutter you choose will affect the amount this recipe yields.
Keep in mind that raw treats are very rich and filling so don't make them to big. I also used butter flavoring in this recipe. If you are against using this (not raw) you can substitute the macadamia nuts for the cashews, since they can have a slight undertone of a buttery flavor.
Yields 24 cookies or 12 sandwiches
Cookie dough:
When you roll cookie dough between two sheets of plastic wrap, it makes it much easier
to lift the cookie off the cutting board so you can transfer it to the dehydrator tray.
Tags: Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Refined Sugar Free, Soy Free, sugar-free, Vegan
Amy Sue, I love the extra attention to detail that you give. These cookies look exquisite. I wish I were on the receiving end of that box of goodness :) Can't wait to see what you post next! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Tiffany, you made my day. hugs, amie sue
Hi..Bashya AGAIN. Just made this dough and it is yummy and awaiting its turn in the dehydrator. For how much time do they dehydrate? In one spot it says 4 hours and a bit further down it says 14 hours. Thanks!
Bashya, I don't see that one area say 4 and other says 14 hrs… which numbers in the prep list do you see that… I might be starring right past it.
Ok…I see what happened. There are 2 postings for the same recipe. The posting with the picture of a tea cup has a different direction #5 to this one…says 4 hours. I have that one printed. They are currently in the dehydrator with the yummy jam on top. Very excited…though going to serve as open face cookies as I have to serve a crowd.
On another note: My chocolate cake pop came out a bit dry and was thinking of a way to moisten the inside. Thought maybe to inject some ganache, or even a bit of brandy (my crowd is not raw). What do you think?
HI Bashya, ok that makes sense them. :) As far as you cake pops, sure you could try injecting them with a liquid. IF you use ganache, you might want to thin it down some. Let me know if you try it. Have a blessed day, amie sue
Hi Amie-Sue,
Just wanted to let you know that I threw a swell raw food dessert party. Of the 10 desserts I served, 6 of them were from your website. It was a roaring success, particularly the key lime pie.
OH WOW Bashya! I am so thrilled that you shared this. How exciting!! That key lime pie is ALWAYS a hit. :) Have a wonderful week! amie sue

Coming off its second Division III national tournament appearance in three years, the Marietta College men's basketball team has set the bar high coming into the 2013-14 season.
MC head coach Jon VanderWal has reason to believe his team will continue to add on to its recent success.
"Our staff is cautiously optimistic," said VanderWal, entering his seventh season with Marietta. "We feel pretty good about our chances to have a really good year."
Article Photos
Times file photo
Marietta College's Tyler Hammond lays the ball up during a game at Ban Johnson Arena last season. Hammond will lead the Pioneers in their home opener against Ohio Christian Friday.
The Pioneers' first test of the season comes on Friday when they host Ohio Christian University at Ban Johnson Arena in the 43rd annual Marietta Shrine Tournament sponsored by BSN Sports. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m.
"Ohio Christian is a tough game because they've played five games already," VanderWal said.
"Having five games under their belt is a big advantage."
While Ohio Christian will likely show up to Marietta in midseason form, the Pioneers will try to shake the offseason rust and find some rhythm.
For a second consecutive year, Marietta has big shoes to fill. The Pioneers lost four starters and five lettermen to graduation and will have to have some new faces step up and perform well.
"We feel good about the guys we have coming back," VanderWal said, "plus we've added some good new guys. We have two transfers and a talented group of freshmen. From top to bottom, our roster is loaded with talent. Our biggest obstacle right now is getting guys to understand their new roles."
One player who will adjust to a new role is point guard Tyler Hammond. Hammond has been an effective starter since he was a freshman, but will be asked to do a little bit more as a senior.
"I think Tyler Hammond is one of the best point guards in Division III," VanderWal said.
"He makes everybody on the court so much better. We're probably gonna ask Tyler to be even more of a playmaker than we have in the past."
Along with Hammond, VanderWal will likely start junior Brennan McKean and sophomore A.J. Ireland at the wings and juniors A.J. Davis and Garrett Stephenson in the post.
While Pioneers will feature some new faces, they should still be able to light up the scoreboard.
"I think we're really talented offensively," VanderWal said. "Everybody we put on the floor can shoot it from wherever."
That should make for an entertaining matchup Friday, as OCU is a team that can score in bunches as well.
"They're really athletic," VanderWal explained. "They're gonna be a lot like us. They're a little undersized. They really like to get up and down the floor, so it should be an exciting game. It should be a high-scoring affair."
The Trailblazers (2-3) will likely start Wesley Russell (guard), Evan Mills (forward), Evin Bartlett (guard), Kris Carius (center) and Danny Schrock (guard).
Russell leads the team with 18.4 points per game, while forward J.J. Smith (13.2) and guard Ernie McCoy (11.6) are second and third, respectively, on the team off the bench.
Ohio Christian is coached by Tony Stockman, a former player for Ohio State. Overall, VanderWal is expecting a good college basketball game.
"We're just excited to get it started," he said.
NOTES: The winner between Marietta and Ohio Christian will play the winner of Earlham and Piedmont Saturday at 7 p.m. at Ban Johnson in the tournament championship. The losers of each contest will play a consolation game Saturday at 5 p.m. at Ban Johnson.

Best Shots Rapid Reviews: ACTION COMICS, ULTIMATES, More

Best Shots Rapid Reviews
Greetings, Rama readers! Ready for some lightning-fast responses to this week's biggest releases? I bet you are, and Best Shots has you covered with some Rapid-Fire Reviews from Marvel, DC, Dynamite, and IDW! Want some more back issue reviews? Check out the Best Shots Topic Page. And now, let's take a look at the end of an era, as we review the final pre-boot issue of the comic that started it all with Action Comics…
The Bionic Man #1 (Published by Dynamite Entertainment; Review by Erika D. Peterman; 'Rama Rating: 8/10; Click here for preview): As someone who once loved "The Six Million Dollar Man" beyond reason, I had a hard time checking my childhood baggage at the door before reading this comic. And with Kevin Smith, there's always the possibility that the gross-out jokes and blue dialogue will go a little too far. Fortunately, readers with a soft spot for Steve Austin should be pleased with Smith and Phil Hester's The Bionic Man #1, a fast-paced and often humorous kickoff to the new Dynamite series. It's especially nice to see Hester's name attached to the book, as he did such impressive work on the Wonder Woman "Odyssey" story. There is a bionic being in this story, but it's not Steve — yet. Rather, it's a raging cyborg who wrecks a lab and tears several scientists to bits before stealing some highly important files. As for Steve, he's recast as a swaggering test pilot who casually ticks off authority figures and trades sexy zingers with fiancée Jamie Sommers, the first of several familiar characters. (Hal Jordan's ears must be burning, because Steve is not only an ace pilot, but also "the bravest man alive.") Smith is clearly fond of the source material, incorporating old favorites like Oscar Goldman, Steve's future boss, and physician Dr. Rudy Wells. Readers who are put off by Smith's toilet references and naughty writing style are unlikely to be converted, though the writer stops just short of going over the top. Illustrator Jonathan Lau knows how to construct a good action scene, which is essential for a comic about a guy who's destined to be better, stronger, faster. He's also very good at showing human interaction. Lau's panels of Oscar calmly tolerating a bellowing general who hates Steve and robots with equal intensity are great fun. I do wish the colors weren't so drab overall, but they intensify in a closing sequence that, despite its foregone conclusion, remains thrilling. Count me in for issue #2.
Batman, Incorporated #8 (Published by DC Comics; Review by David Pepose; 'Rama Rating: 2 out of 10; Click here for preview): If the interiors of this book looked anything like the Chris Burnham cover, I think I'd have a very different perspective on this "season finale" issue of Batman, Incorporated. Unfortunately, the interiors from Scott Clark and Dave Beaty show that something was lost in translation — the interiors of this book look a lot like the cartoon Reboot, and that's not a great thing. Clark and Beaty get so caught up in the bright colors and the "digital" style that they lose out on expressiveness, fluidity, and just sheer design. Which is a shame, because there is a ton of potential to this concept, of Oracle patrolling the cyberspaceways as a digital crusader. But Grant Morrison's take on this new world feels surprisingly unambitious, with a sort of weird video game undertone that doesn't even scratch the surface of what could be told. Sure, this is a done-in-one story, but the sad thing is that with the visuals being this unnatural, it's just difficult to read. This could have been a blockbuster, a sort of Batman-in-Tron kind of story. While I appreciate the attempt at experimentation for the sake of tone and content, there are more than a few glitches in this particular machine.
X-Men #16 (Published by Marvel Comics; Review by George Marston; 'Rama Rating: 8 out of 10; Click here for preview): X-Men! FF! Magneto! Doom! Dinosaurs! What more could you want in a comic book? X-Men #16 ranks as the most fun book I read this week, as the merry mutants team up with the Future Foundation to enter an alternate dimension, hopping through the Bermuda Triangle to a world populated by dinosaurs and lizard men. What really sells this issue are the moments where the characters get to shine, as Victor Gischler really nails the tone. Jorge Molina's pencils are tight, but the anatomy is occasionally a bit funky. His real strength is selling Gischler's script, injecting mountains of personality in the characters' actions and reactions. Highlights include ego clashes between Magneto and Doom, and Thing haphazardly giving Wolverine the "fastball special" as Wolverine shouts, "Never throw me again!" This is what I want from comics. Pure fun!
The Legend of Drizzt (Published by IDW; Review by Aaron Duran; 'Rama Rating: 3 out of 10): It doesn't matter if you can't tell the difference between a Gnome and Halfling, if you've been a fantasy reader for the last 20 years, chances are you know of the Dark Elf, Drizzt Do'Urden. While I've never been a big fan Drizzt, I was hoping this newest D&D based series from IDW would be as strong as their ongoing Dungeons and Dragons comic. This debut issue from writers R.A. Salvatore and Geno Salvatore with artist Agustin Padilla just didn't click for me. This first issue feels like one extended prologue that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The choice to center around a vampiric dwarf is clearly meant to pull a reader into a deeper mystery. In truth, it made for a rather tedious read. Perhaps I'm spoiled by John Rogers immensely relatable writing in Dungeons and Dragons, but Salvatore's plotting and dialogue reminds me of everything I don't like in a fantasy comic. Bond style villains that watch from afar and lines like "Me king, ye be hurt," that make this grumpy fantasy fan roll his eyes. Agustin Padilla's pencils along with colors by Leonard O'Grady help to elevate the book. There are some flashback scenes that are quite dynamic and hopefully hint at greater art to come. Alas, most of the comic takes place in a dark dungeon, with very little for Padilla and O'Grady to work with. Even though he's drawing fantasy races, some of Padilla's physical proportions still feel off and it's distracting. O'Grady's heavy use of shadows and negative space helps to cover some of these missteps. One final contention. If you call your comic The Legend of Drizzt, he should appear in more than one or two pages. In all, a rather disappointing debut.
New Mutants #30 (Published by Marvel Comics; Review by David Pepose; 'Rama Rating: 9 out of 10; Click here for preview): David LaFuente is an artist's artist. You don't agree with that? Then skip over to the next review, because I'm a firm believer that LaFuente is the full package, in an era where art gets rushed and overlooked constantly. There's such a sense of composition, expressiveness, and just amazing design in all of his pages, even from the first page, as we see Valkyrie Dani Moonstar soaring in on her winged steed. There's some real humanity to LaFuente's art style, and it makes even a somewhat goofy Mephisto at least resonate as a character, with his own unique wants and desires. And when the rest of the New Mutants are trapped in Hell — double-L, not the single "L" of Asgard — that sort of acting is incredibly important. And to be honest, LaFuente's artwork is what makes it — don't get me wrong, Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning lay up some nice groundwork, smoothly injecting the Fear Itself storylines with the X-Men and the Avengers in the story while playing up just what a baller Dani is, but man, this book wouldn't be nearly as fun to read with a different artist. Just a gorgeous, gorgeous, fun book.
Batman: Gates of Gotham #5 (Published by DC Comics; Review by George Marston; 'Rama Rating: 5 out of 10; Click here for preview): Gates of Gotham has been a great miniseries, sadly scarred by this dud of an ending. Moving far too quickly, and revealing far too little, it seems like there may have been a bigger and better intent when this book started, but the lack of any major revelations about the "secret history" of Gotham City kind of puts a damper on that tagline. I don't know what I was expecting, but the knowledge that the guy whose journal we've been following this whole time was a nutjob just isn't enough to make me gasp. On the plus side, the art is still great! It's possible that as these threads continue into Nightwing and Batman next month, we'll see more payoff to what was shown here, but one can't help but wonder if the whole operation has been undercut by this reboot business.
Uncanny X-Force #13 (Published by Marvel Comics; Review by David Pepose; 'Rama Rating: 7 out of 10; Click here for preview): If Rick Remender has one ace in the hole, it has to be Fantomex. This issue proves that he's far and away the most interesting character in Uncanny X-Force, which would have veered perilously towards being too unfocused if it wasn't for the faux Frenchman. Oh, this is definitely a fight comic, but Fantomex is the thread that truly sticks out, being the active protagonist and the agent of plenty of twists and turns, while the rest of the team feels more interchangeable, more cannon fodder in a fight at the Age of Apocalypse. Mark Brooks and Scot Eaton play well off one another in terms of dual penciling efforts, but Eaton is really the one to watch out for, with a sort of Alan-Davis-meets-Tom-Grummett kind of style that isn't particularly flashy, but is solid as hell. Yeah, there is definitely a lot going on here, and the art team doesn't quite have the sort of choreography that Remender's other partners have had, but with Fantomex still making things unpredictable, it's hard to not find something to enjoy with Uncanny X-Force. Got a comment? There's lots of conversation on Newsarama's FACEBOOK and TWITTER!

Martina Loves PS22 Cover of "Anyway"
She tweets: "This brought tears 2 my eyes."
The PS22 Chorus is made up of elementary school students from Public School 22 in Staten Island, New York, and they've generated an unbelievable buzz since a teacher started posting videos of the group in 2006.
You might remember the chorus was featured on the last Academy Awards show after co-host Anne Hathaway flew to New York beforehand to invite them to participate.
The chorus' latest YouTube post has them singing the Martina McBride hit "Anyway"—and Martina loves it.
"This brought tears 2 my eyes," she tweeted. "Their singing is beautiful. So are the looks on their faces and how much they feel the song."
The chorus replied, via Twitter: "the kids will be thrilled! so honored..."

|Honda Releases the New "Salad" Mini Tiller
--- Simple, Carefree Operation Ideal for the Home Garden
|Tokyo, February 26, 2003 ---
Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has announced the release of the new FF300 Salad mini
tiller, featuring simple, carefree operation that even first-time users
will feel comfortable with. The new tiller will go on sale March 1st at
Honda power equipment dealers throughout Japan. The Salad features a centrally
mounted vertical engine and forward-positioned rotary assembly, making it
lightweight and compact, with a low center of gravity and symmetrical lateral
balance. A variety of tilling and intertillage* operations can all be easily
handled with this one tiller.
* Removal of weeds, etc. from furrows.The Salad's engine is positioned to create a low center of gravity, and the ARS (Active Rotary System) --- Honda's own original rotary system with coaxial rotating tines --- is located at the front of the tiller, to achieve deep-tilling capability and superior straight-line stability that even a novice can control with ease.
The tiller comes equipped with the GXV57 engine, a Honda e-SPEC engine that meets the world's highest standards in environmental performance, including US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) Phase II regulations --- the most stringent exhaust emissions standard for general purpose engines in the world --- and European noise regulations for 2006.

The Haqqani Network suffered heavy losses in yesterday's massed assault on a US combat outpost in the eastern Afghan province of Paktika. The International Security Assistance Force estimated that 78 Haqqani Network fighters were killed and said two more were captured, while Afghan officials claimed that more than 80 fighters had been killed.
Haqqani Network forces launched the attack just after midnight on Oct. 30, attacking Combat Outpost Margah in Paktika's Bermal district from four sides while mortar and rocket teams fired on the troops.
The Haqqani Network was backed by fighters from al Qaeda as well as the Taliban, and several hundred fighters as well as a large support element are believed to have participated in the attack, a US military intelligence official told The Long War Journal.
The top US generals in the region attributed good intelligence and a well-sited observation post with aiding in the defeat of the Haqqani Network assault.
"We had multiple indicators an attack like this was going to happen in that area in an attempt to gain victory before the end of the fighting season, and our combined Afghan and coalition forces were ready for them," said Major General John Campbell, the commanding general of Regional Command-East. "The fact the insurgents left both their dead and wounded laying there on the battlefield is significant."
"COP Margah has a squad-sized observation element on the high ground near the COP to provide early warning to the main base," Brigadier General Stephen Townsend, the operations chief for Regional Command East, said. "Not only did the Soldiers and Afghan Border Policemen warn of the attack, they also disrupted it for approximately 20 minutes allowing the main defense to decisively respond. Once their mission was complete, they repositioned to reinforce the main defense."

Since late August, the Haqqani Network has carried out six major assaults against US combat outposts in Khost, Paktika, and Paktia provinces. US and Afghan troops defeated all of the attacks, often inflicting heavy casualties on Haqqani Network forces. [For more information on the recent and previous assaults, see LWJ report, US troops repel Haqqani Network assault on eastern Afghan base.]
Top US military commanders, including General David Petraeus, have claimed that the Haqqani Network's leadership has been disrupted by the heavy regimen of special operations forces raids that have killed or captured scores of mid- and senior-level commanders and facilitators.
Some US military and intelligence officials contacted by The Long War Journal disagree, however, and said the latest attack is an indication that the Haqqani Network remains cohesive, despite the failure of the attack.
"Planning, organizing, and executing a complex attack involving hundreds of fighters, mortar teams, and support elements requires command and control, and the Haqqanis still have those capabilities," a military intelligence officer said. "As long as they are untouchable in Pakistan, they'll be able to carry out attacks such as the one at COP Margah. And they only need to succeed once; overrunning a US base would have a devastating impact."

Industrial Orange
by David Niddrie

Industrial Orange is a series of images shot in an industrial section of Vancouver by photographer David Niddrie. David says of the project:
Vancouver is in a transitory state - the "wild, urban" areas, left after years of neglect or kept alive by just a hint of industry, are slowly being absorbed by high-tech warehouses and high-income waterside condos. The Port itself is busier than ever, but walk a block in the perimeter and you are faced with miles of Dead Space. Past ghosts of industry mingle with abandonment and new life - the threat that these places may vanish overnight is enough to send me out, under the fence and over the tracks to document this place in history.
These images were made down by the seaside Port of Vancouver over the course of a few days. I used Fuji Provia + an orange "sunset" filter shot midday under a changing sky on my Pentax Spotmatic added a certain sheen to the metal and concrete surfaces; these were in-camera tint sessions - taking B&W filters to the unforgiving eye of chrome film.

Low turns 20
CHRIS RIEMENSCHNEIDER , Vita.mn | Updated 3/27/2013
Duluth group rings in 20 years with a new Jeff Tweedy-produced LP.

For a guy whose new record features as much piano playing as guitar work, Alan Sparhawk sure doesn't make a very good salesman for either the ivories or his album.
"Using the piano can be fraught with clichés," said the frontman of Duluth's beloved somber-rock trio Low. "A lot of times, it's just used like a sprinkling of fairy dust to make a song sound prettier."
Indeed, the piano takes on darker and wearier tones on "The Invisible Way," Low's impressive 10th album, which landed last Tuesday on famed Seattle indie label Sub Pop Records. Interest in the record is a little higher this time around, thanks to who produced it: Jeff Tweedy, leader of Chicago rock band Wilco.
Tweedy is the latest in a string of more famous rockers to lend exposure to Low, which Sparhawk has been leading for 20 years with his wife, Mimi Parker. Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin recorded two of the band's songs for his 2010 album "Band of Joy," and Radiohead and Death Cab for Cutie have recruited Low to open their tours.
The Duluthians have also done a few outings with Wilco. Sparhawk hesitated to say he and Tweedy were tight pals — "We jogged together a few times. That's pretty close, I suppose" — but it was Tweedy who offered up his studio/rehearsal space in Chicago. He won a Grammy for producing soul legend Mavis Staples' most recent album there.
When Low hit the studio, Sparhawk recounted, "Jeff told us upfront, 'You guys know how to do what you do. I'm not going to be concerned with that.' So he focused his energy more on making sure everything sounded right and there was the right energy in the room — which he was good at, since it's his room."
Even before they started recording, it was apparent this would be a different album for Low. Many of the songs were written on piano instead of guitar — which is because many of them were written by Parker. She sings lead in five of the 11 songs on "The Invisible Way," much more than on any previous record. They include such key tracks as the steamrolling Velvet Underground-ish gem "Just Make It Stop" and the downfall-tinged finale "On Our Knees."
Since Low's inception, Sparhawk has always been in the spotlight while his wife hung in the back behind a stand-up drum kit, offering vital but subtle support with her serene, siren-like voice. Their onstage roles reflected their offstage personalities, with him being more gregarious and wily, and her more aloof and even-keeled. Somewhere in between is Steve Garrington, the band's bassist for five years running and a bandmate in Sparhawk's noisier trio, Retribution Gospel Choir.
Sparhawk's own songs include one named for a musician who has nothing to do with the lyrics: "Clarence White," a slow, hand-clap-infused howler (White was a guitarist with the Byrds and others). Another is actually about a musician but doesn't name him: The mostly acoustic opening track "Plastic Cup" is loosely based on the experiences of Retribution Gospel Choir drummer and sometimes Low keyboardist Eric Pollard, who was convicted of selling marijuana but bounced back to become burgeoning songwriter/bandleader Actual Wolf.
Saturday's concert is doubling as a 20th-anniversary celebration for the band, which formed after the childhood sweethearts from tiny Clearbrook, Minn., settled in Duluth. Proof that their band is going strong lies in the rest of their 2013 itinerary, which includes a three-week theater tour in Europe, a slot at Wilco's Solid Sound festival and select U.S. gigs at such venerable venues as San Francisco's Great American Music Hall and the Troubadour in Los Angeles. (With two grade-school children at home, they shun extended U.S. hauls.)

This implies that reactions involving 26Al are important for astrophysical processes. In a recent experiment at the Cyclotron Institute at Texas A & M University, reactions with the ground state and isomeric state of 26Al were investigated with the Texas A & M-Edinburgh-Catania Silicon detector Array (TECSA). TECSA is a collaborative effort to build a high-efficiency detector Si array useful for measuring reactions of interest for nuclear astrophysics and nuclear structure. The array consists of up to 16 Micron Semiconductor YY1 detectors that are each 300 um thick. Each detector has 16 annular ring sectors to measure the energy and the scattering angle of the detected particles. Using TECSA, we measured d(26Alg,p)27Al and d(26Alm,p)27Al with an 26Al secondary beam prepared in-flight with the MARS spectrometer. First, the composition of the 26Al beam was determined by measuring the ratio of beta-decays to 26Al ions produced. It was found that at different spectrometer rigidities, beams of 2/3 isomer to ground state ratio or vice-versa could be obtained. Then, in the second part of the experiment, angular distributions were measured for both reactions at backward angles with TECSA. The protons were measured in TECSA in coincidence with timing signals from the beam detected by a scintillator and with the cyclotron radio-frequency. Details of the experiment and results from the analysis of the d(26Alm,p)27Al and d(26Alg,p)27Al data will be presented. They will give information about the proton capture reactions 26Alm(p,γ)27Si and 26Alg(p,γ)27Si taking place in stars.

VC funding heats up in renewable energy market
The venture capital funding market for renewable energy will triple by 2020, according to Frost & Sullivan.
Driven by positive regulatory policies, environmental support for lower carbon emissions, and innovation in renewable energy technology, investors will look to South Asia and Asia Pacific as emerging areas in renewable energy development while Europe and North American remain hubs of deal activity.
Renewables deals increased by two-thirds year over year for 2011, although total deal value was down by one-third.
"Europe, in particular, followed by the Asia-Pacific region, led this trend towards more but smaller deals. This was in contrast to North America, which had fewer deals of larger individual values," noted Frost & Sullivan financial analyst Vinod Cartic.
According to the research, newer technologies such as thin-film solar and advanced biofuels such as cellulosic biofuels and biofuels from algae are among the most pursued green energy technologies.
The market does face challenges, including high capital costs, continuous requirement of investments into technology, and the fact that economies of scale have not yet been reached.
"Companies will need to look at different ways to enhance the value chain," said Cartic. "Effective asset management will play an important role in value creation. On their part, governments will need to look at safeguarding their interests through transparent tariffs and the use of technology as a differentiator."

Only one more step!
Roger will play the final of the US Open for the fifth consecutive time! He defeated Serbian Novak Djokovic 6-3 5-7 7-5 6-2.
In a match that was a repeat of last year's final, our champ hammered 20 aces in his best performance of the tournament to set up a final against either world number one Rafael Nadal or British sixth seed Andy Murray. "I am so excited to be back in the final again," Roger said in a courtside interview. "I've worked hard all season to do well in the big ones. (To win) here at the Open would mean a hell of a lot to me."
Chasing his first grand slam title of the year but 13th overall, Roger played an almost perfect opening set. Third seed Djokovic, who beat Roger on his way to his first grand slam title at the Australian Open in January, looked flat early on but lifted his game to move ahead 4-1 in the second set. Roger hit back to be on even terms at 4-4 but Djokovic broke in the 12th game to level the match. In the end, Roger won a tight service game to lead 4-2, he broke again in the next game before clinching victory with a forehand winner.
Should Roger play Nadal, it would be their third straight meeting in a grand slam final, with the Spaniard having won both at the French Open and Wimbledon.
"Who do I prefer to play? I prefer the trophy, that's what I prefer," said Roger, who was deposed as world number one last month. "But I guess I would have to say Rafa because we've had such great battles over the year. Wimbledon was unbelievable so I hope we can have another one."
god bless u roger i am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy 4 u.u deserve even more.
with love
Yessss Roger win the 13th GS after a lot of such obstacles!
Great Joy for this Year !!! That's enough for me... one grand slam.

- Picking a Magic Your Way Package
- Mary recommends looking into if you really need a package
- Disney has vastly improved the benefits of booking a package, you can still sometimes save more money buy booking seperately
- Since 2003, the packages offered by Disney have gotten much better and Disney has been offering more package discounts than on seperate entities (room only or ticket discounts)
- The basic vacation package includes room and tickets to the park(s)
- Mary says that with the new Magic Your Way packages, you're no longer required to buy the amount of tickets to coincide with the amount of time you're staying on property. For example, you could stay a week at Walt Disney World and only buy tickets for one day ticket or go the other way and buy a 10 day ticket if you wish
- Sue mentions that the advantage of buying a package through a travel agent is that travel agents can actively seek out new discount codes whereas Disney will not do that unless you ask about a specific discount
- Mike asks if as an Annual Pass holder if it will save him money by booking a Magic Your Way package and only buying a one day ticket
- Mary says in some circumstances the answer is yes and Mary recommends saving the one day ticket and use it to upgrade towards an annual pass later on
- There are different cancellation policies between packages and room-only reservations. If you get a room-only reservation, you pay a one night fee as a deposit and pay remaining balance upon check-in and can cancel up to 5 days prior and get a refund of that deposit. If you get a package, you have to pay in full 45 days prior to arrival and as you get closer to your date if you cancel, you can lose $200.
- Sue points out that if you had a room-only reservation within 5 days of arrival and you're staying at a resort where the cost is at least $200 per night you can lose more money than if you booked through the package (since the maximum cancellation on the package is $200).
- Sue mentions that if you have a package and need to cancel and give a reason before your arrival date (meaning you don't simply not show up) and are willing to rebook, Disney will simply charge you a $50 change fee as opposed to the $200 cancellation fee
- Both Magic Your Way Packages and room-only reservations include Magical Express (complimentry bus transportation to and from Orlando International Airpot)
- Mary points out you can save as much a 45% with a discount code
- AAA offers a 10% discount for it's members
- Sue says there are now new discounts available for those booking travel between January 1 and March 8, 2006 however you must purchase a package that includes a ticket. The ticket will include a Park Hopping feature and the "Water Parks and more fun" feature which includes admission to the Water parks, Pleasure Island, Disney Quest and Disney's Wide World of Sports.
- Mary gives an example assuming you were to stay at Pop Century for 7 nights on a Magic Your Way package for 2 adults with 10 day premium, no expiration option, the normal price is $1430 but with the discount, it comes out to $1170 (saving $250)
- Mary explains the Disney Dining Plan and says that if you dine only at the counter service or fast-food restaurants then the dining plan might not be for you. If you eat at least 1 full service meal a day then in most cases you can't go wrong with the dining plan.
- The dining plan costs $35 per day for an adult and that includes one full service meal, one counter service meal and one snack (a popcorn or water) and it's $10 per day for kids
- Sue says in many cases you're saving money at meals and even if you break even, you allready have your meals paid for and can more easily budget yourself and know how much you're spending in advance
- Mike warns first time visitors against the Dining Plan because first timers have a tough learning curve with the dining plan and can end up being very frustrated.
- Mike recommends first time visitors skip the dining plan for the first trip and consider the dining plan for their second or third trips
- Sue recommends using a travel agent for first timers to help with planning their dining at Disney World

Gold, the Economy and Outlook
In 2013 the price of gold bullion lost 28 percent and closed near its low for the year. It was the first annual decline since 2000 and the worst since 1981. Gold ETFs experienced record redemptions, shrinking the funds 33 percent by year end, but they were the exception. Marcus Grubb, Managing Director of the World Gold Council, reported, "2013 has been a strong year for gold demand across sectors and geographies, with the exception of western ETF markets." While investors were leaving ETFs, demand for gold jewelry, bars and coins was increasing, as were purchases by central banks. Globally, consumer demand increased 17 percent for gold jewelry and 28 percent for bars and coins.

ESSENCE.COM: So you play the hot restaurant owner. Were you a fan of the show prior to joining the cast?
RICK FOX: I was not. I'd heard of "Melrose Place" but when I played basketball I didn't have time to watch TV. In general, I am connected to some of the old cast and have had an opportunity to meet some of the people who have been in the original. I knew them before they did a remake and I called them up just to let them know I was going to be a part of the remake. Outside of that, I've been catching up watching all the old episodes.
ESSENCE.COM: So you cater to the show's rich, young and beautiful. Do you also get caught up in any scandalous love trysts?
FOX: (Laughs.) When it comes to "Melrose Place" everything is done in scandalous fashion. I don't think anyone will have to hold their breath to wait for that kind of excitement.
ESSENCE.COM: And which restaurateur have you been shadowing for tidbits on dealing with Hollywood's "it" crowd?
FOX: My friend owns the SLS in Hollywood, which has great cuisine and nightlife. He's a good friend of mine and I told him be careful what you do because I'm studying everything you do and that's been funny for us. I have pulled some of his nuances and some of the things he does and watched how he acts around his employees and conducts himself in town. His restaurant has been featured on "Entourage" and "The Hills" and other shows, so he has a little bit of a reputation.
ESSENCE.COM: You were great on "The Game" as Wendy Raquel Robinson's love interest. Any chance you'd return if it were to get picked up again?
FOX: BET has been running seasons 1, 2 and 3 religiously and the fans of "The Game" have been so supportive and I can't thank them enough. You don't know how much I miss being on set with Wendy and the rest of the cast. I keep hearing stories that maybe BET and CBS will work out a deal to create some more seasons. I'd be up for it and I think it's safe to say that a lot of the actors would revisit their characters.
ESSENCE.COM: As a former NBA baller you've been doing the Hollywood hustle strong in front of the camera. Would you ever consider sitting in the director's chair? FOX: Funny you should ask because if you're waiting to be hired nowadays you'll be out of work. I don't know about directing, but I'm working on developing a comic book character with the same guy who created the comic book character Blade. So I'd be a real superhero from the future. I'm also starring in a an indie film that's similar to a "Coach Carter" and I will play stamp-collecting hustler in this play called "Mauritius." Two estranged sisters find a rare stamp collection and I'm trying to get my hands on it.
ESSENCE.COM: Say it ain't so! You're gonna play a bad guy?
FOX: (Laughs.) I know for some reason I am well-received as a bad guy and I so want to play a hero because I'm a good guy at heart. So, yeah, I guess that means I'll be swindling a stamp collection. Just remember I'm really a good guy (laughs).
Tune in to "Melrose Place" on Tuesdays at 9 P.M. ET.
