A major element of the Army strategy is a strong, viable,
highquality inhouse research capability. Laboratories and centers are the key
organizations responsible for technical leadership, scientific advancement, and support
for the acquisition process, including a smart buyer function. The Army S&T
organizational structure is illustrated in Figure I33.

Figure I-33. Army S&T Organization
Facilities and EquipmentEssential Foundation for Success
The Army owns a multibillion dollar network of RDT&E facilities located at over 100 sites worldwide (see Chapter VI). The technological demands in many fields¾including medicine, microelectronics, photonics, materials, and manufacturing processes¾dictate the need for modern, excellent facilities. Consequently, the Army is consolidating specialized facilities, eliminating aging and technologically obsolete facilities, and using the capabilities of contractors and other military services. At the same time, Army RDT&E manpower is being drawn down. The new Walter Reed Army Institute for Research (WRAIR) facility is an example of long overdue modernization of inhouse facilities that focuses on those unique capabilities that truly must be owned by the Army itself, consistent with Project Reliance and Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) processes. The 1991 BRAC mandated organizational consolidation and geographic collocation of ARL at two main campuses: Adelphi and Aberdeen, Maryland. Construction has been completed on a new materials research facility at Aberdeen and new laboratory and office facilities at Adelphi to accommodate incoming personnel and maintain mission synergy.
In the future, the Army will use more automated equipment, computerbased research support, and technological networking of researchers to yield more work per scientist and engineer. This strategy will be very important as the Army reduces the size and changes the composition of its civilian work force. Advanced distributed simulation is compressing research and technology development cycle times. The use of physical simulation tools, computer modeling, and other highly automated systems is necessary to both product and manufacturing process technologies and is pivotal to the future of the Army R&D establishment. These issues are discussed further in Chapter VI.
PeopleThe Key to the Future
Approximately 13,000 inhouse personnel in 30 laboratories, centers, and institutes are funded by S&T. Working at a diversified set of facilities, ranging from solidstate physics laboratories to outdoor experimental ranges, they conduct research, technology development, "smart buyer," and product support activities for the total Army. Highly motivated, competent, welltrained people are essential to the success of the Army S&T strategy. Keeping the inhouse work force technically competent in a rapidly changing environment is a major objective for the future. The DoD Laboratory Quality Initiative (LQI) allows revised procurement rules and investment in facilities that will assist in meeting the challenge.
Army S&T Laboratory Personnel Demonstration Projects
In 1994, Congress recognized the challenges facing DoD in its efforts to improve the recruitment, retention, and utilization of laboratory personnel. As a result, the National Defense Authorization Act for FY95 (Public Law 103.337) authorized laboratories designated by DoD as S&T reinvention laboratories to undertake personnel demonstration projects relating to qualifications, recruitment and appointment of personnel, classification and compensation, assignment, reassignment and promotions, discipline, incentives, hours of work, methods involving employees in labor organizations, and methods of reducing staff and grade levels.
The Army has 19 R&D organizations designated as S&T reinvention laboratories, each with authority to develop its own plan. Five of these organizationsARL, U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, the Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station, the U.S. Army Missile RDEC, and the U.S. Army Aviation RDECwere selected as Phase I participants. The personnel demonstrations for the U.S. Army Missile RDEC and the U.S. Army Aviation were effective October 1, 1997. The rest of the Phase I laboratories will obtain the authority to begin implementation of their demonstrations in early FY98. The remaining 14 S&T reinvention laboratories are in Phase II. Their plans are currently under development, with approval of their final plans anticipated for spring 1998. More than 13,000 engineers, scientists, and administrative and technical personnel will be covered by Army S&T reinvention laboratory personnel demonstrations.
These demonstrations are the first major steps in developing personnel systems specifically tailored to the Armys laboratories. The demonstrations go far in answering criticisms from the Defense Science Board and others that the current system is too slow, puts up administrative barriers, and is impossible to change. These projects streamline some processes and introduce new flexibilities. Broadbanding, pay for performance, and pay in excess of the GS15 levels for critical S&T management positions provide comparability to features that have been available in the private sector for many years.
These demonstrations are critical to strengthening the foundation needed to recruit and sustain a strong 21st century laboratory workforce capable of solving the technical challenges facing the 21st century warfighter.
Demographic projections for college graduates indicate a declining number of engineers and scientists in the period to 2015. The Army is the DoD leader in Youth Outreach (Table I4), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Minority Institutions (MIs) (Table I5). Every university research center of excellence and federated laboratory is required to have an HBCU or MI partner who performs a significant amount of the research. Army stayinschool and summerintern programs have convinced many students to study science and engineering.

The Civil Rights Remedy of the 1994 Violence Against Women Act: Struck Down but Not Ruled Out
Julie Goldscheid
CUNY School of Law
Family Law Quarterly, Vol. 39, p. 157, 2005
The 1994 Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was historic in many respects. Although federal legislation previously had addressed violence against women in a smattering of contexts, VAWA represented the first federal attempt comprehensively to address the myriad social and legal problems faced by victims of domestic and sexual violence. Perhaps the most controversial of VAWA's provisions was its civil rights remedy, which authorized a civil cause of action against the perpetrator modeled after other federal civil rights laws. The remedy sought both practical and aspirational goals: to afford a cause of action to victims who otherwise would be denied relief; and to transform the terms of debate in which domestic and sexual violence was framed.
The Supreme Court struck down the law as an unconstitutional exercise of Congressional power in United States v. Morrison, 529 U.S. 598 (2000). This article reviews and analyzes legal theories and strategies that remain available to those seeking redress for the civil rights violations violence against women produces. It briefly summarizes the civil rights remedy's history and reviews the analogous laws still available to victims. The article discusses new laws and legislative proposals modeled after the VAWA civil rights remedy but enacted by states and localities; state statutes that authorize civil recovery for bias-motivated violence, some of which have pre-dated VAWA; and both traditional and newly enacted laws prohibiting violent discrimination that interferes with victims' civil rights and prevents their economic independence and full civic participation.

July 16th, 2013 - 5:56am
(Port Angeles) -- An Army official will make another apology to the city of Port Angeles for a late-night helicopter training mission last week that rattled nerves of residents.
Port Angeles Mayor Cherie Kidd met yesterday with Col. H. Charles Hodges Jr., and two officers with the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment at Joint Base Lewis McChord. The Army apologized again for the Thursday night helicopter training exercise that Kidd says "terrorized my city."
Kidd says she met for an hour with the base commander. She says they listened to her concerns about helicopters that circled the city late at night with no notice to city officials.
Tonight, Hodges will attend the city council meeting in City Hall to apologize in person to council members and the public.

Sharpness Series #3 – da Finger
Whenever I talk about this, folks roll their eyes like I'm selling them snakeoil. There are so MANY little subtle elements in the taking, composing and finishing of a photograph that add up to big results and drama. This is just one more to add to that list. Take a look.
Pages are in the process of being updated. In the meantime you can watch our videos on our YouTube Channel as well as all Videos are available on iTunes as Podcasts!
Another aspect of this that I think about it adverting the attention of a shy subject. That beige, vertical line going up and down can really stick out especially if you're wearing something dark. During the rut, the Pronghorn bucks seem to pick up on everything. Here, my simply looking over the top of the camera which was on a tripod garnished the look of, "Leave me alone, would ya!" Little things, they will get ya every time!

An elderly man was airlifted to hospital after being seriously injured in a road crash in Gilmorton.
The man was freed from the car by fire crews and treated for chest injuries at the scene of the accident shortly after 10am yesterday (Tuesday).
The Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance (WNAA) said it was called out to the incident to provide pre-hospital care to give the patient the greatest chance of recovery.
It received the emergency call at 10.10am and landed at the scene of the incident a little over ten minutes later.
The WNAA said the man was put under general anaesthetic to allow the crew to control his breathing and provide adequate oxygenation.
He was then immobilised before being transferred to University Hospitals Coventry & Warwickshire for further treatment.
His current condition in unknown, said a spokesman for the WNAA.

A hardboiled egg and some pink dye or paint are just the beginning. With finishing touches, such as antennae and a rosy-cheeked smile, this egg decoration is as fun to look at as it is to make.
Catch the Backyardigans on Nick Jr.
Cut an individual cell from the carton, turn the cell upside down, and cut an opening in the top just big enough to secure the small end of the egg. If you can't find a pink egg carton, kids can paint the carton using the light-pink glitter paint. At the same time kids can dye or paint the egg light pink. While the egg and egg carton are drying, prepare the eyes, antennae, and felt overalls pieces so they will be ready to glue on as soon as the egg and egg stand are dry.
Cut out two small ovals from white paper and show kids how to glue one wiggle eye on top of each white oval. Snip a pipe cleaner into two 1 1/2-inch lengths for the antennae. Cut out pale pink overalls freehand from the pink felt. Cut out two straps, about a half inch wide and about 2 inches long. Have kids mark one red dot at the end of each strap of the overalls to create buttons. Set the pieces aside.
When the egg (and the egg carton, if necessary) is dry, have kids paint four large dark-pink spots on the egg. Let dry.
Glue the overalls to the dry egg carton cell. Glue the straps to the egg carton cell.
Have kids glue the eyes to the large end of the egg. With the red marker, draw the mouth.
Parents can use the sewing needle to bore two holes in the top of the egg for the pipe cleaner antennae. Older kids can insert the pipe cleaners themselves. Place the egg on top of the stand.

CONCORD (AP) — A Senate committee is holding a hearing on whether to forgive hikers who buy a hike-safe card for any rescue expenses they wouldd otherwise owe New Hampshire for being negligent and getting into trouble.
Wednesday's hearing is on a House-passed bill that authorizes the Fish and Game Department to sell voluntary hike-safe cards for $25 per person and $35 per family. People who obtain the cards would not be liable to repay rescue costs if their rescue was due to negligence on their part.
The bill also would exempt people with hunting and fishing licenses and anyone with an off-highway recreational vehicle registration, including for a snowmobile.
Hunters, anglers, boaters, snowmobilers and all-terrain vehicle riders currently pay almost all of the rescue costs though license fees to the agency but, since 2006, have accounted for only about 14 percent of the rescues.
The department has struggled to keep up with the cost of rescues, which are primarily for helping lost or injured hikers who wander off a trail or find themselves unprepared for adverse weather. Rescue costs have ranged from about $200 to more than $50,000.
State law holds those rescued liable if they acted negligently, but efforts to collect the cost of rescues are not always successful.
All but $3 from each hike-safe card would be deposited in the agency's search-and-rescue fund.

* Did not buy during visit but claim, during follow-up, to still be a "buyer"
Even though sales are down 18% vs. April 2007, business is still "OK to GOOD" with a few "GREATS" for those who have solid systems and qualified, well-trained employees. The most profitable dealers are logging 15% more phone calls, 31% more sales floor opportunities, and are following up (with callbacks) 15% more often than they were one year ago. The net result: Dealers were working harder in April, yet getting 10% fewer offers to buy. They also were selling for less gross profit than they were a year ago, although their selling costs (flooring and net advertising) have risen. It was also taking more effort to convince customers to buy, as evidenced by the 52% increase in number of shoppers that ended up making their purchases elsewhere. Advertising and flooring costs per new vehicle sold were both up, indicating that in April there was too much inventory in the field. — Bill Shenk

A new strict policy prohibits any passenger from boarding a bus with "saggy" pants that exposes their underwear or buttocks.
Although the saggy pants fashion has been around for more for a while, linked to prison attire and hip- hop culture, the Transportation Authority in Ft. Worth has considered it to be disrespectful and want nothing of it on the publice transportation system.
Do you find it offensive or just a fashion trend?
No snaggy pants has been addes to the state's dress code policy in where shirts and shoes are required in order to ride public transportation. The dress code is very similar to many school policies.
Bus riders have complained that it does not look good when one's pants are below the buttocks. The bus driver will be able to make the decision if the pants are approppriate or not.
The city has even placed signs in city buses, reading "Pull 'em up or find another ride."
Yet not everyone is happy with the new policy some passengers are complaining that the system is trying to dictate what they can and can't wear.
How do you feel about the bus system dress code?

Hi Guys,
Just installed IRIX 6.5 on my O2. However, as I want to do some development
on it, I need GCC. I took GCC from the freeware.sgi.com site, but it seems
to need another package which is on IRIX Development Foundation. Which I
don't have. I only have IRIX Development Libraries. Is it somehow possible
that someone puts the compiler_dev.sw.base subsystem online? I don't need
the whole CD, just that package...

Discover Small-Business Watch Signs Off
After four-and-a-half years, Discover Financial Services has retired its monthly survey covering the country's smallest firms.
The Discover Small-Business Watch covered the outlook and business trends at firms with five or fewer employees. It was a helpful resource for analysts (and small-business reporters) who wanted a pulse on the 22 million firms that fall into this segment.
In Charge decided to give the Watch a proper farewell because its data provided fodder and spurred ideas for news stories. It also served as a self-check mechanism for us reporters who strive to keep the themes and tone of each article in line with what small-business owners are experiencing.
Discover, which commissioned the reports by independent research firm Rasmussen Reports LLC, said the decision to terminate the report has no bearing on the Discover Business Card, and is simply a reallocation of resources.
"The Watch brought to light many underlying issues for small-business owners, most notably taxes, healthcare and the effects of the recession," said Jon Drummond, organizer of the survey project since its earliest days. "These small-business owners had no voice back in 2006 when the survey launched compared to now, when they have so many more channels in which to be heard."
According to the last survey, released early Monday, only 27% of respondents say the economic conditions are getting better while 54% say it's getting worse.
And perhaps fittingly for the last Discover Small-Business Watch, about a third of respondents say, too, they have seriously contemplated going out of business in the last 60 days.

PHOTOS: Click here for photos of Thursday's brush fire in New Windsor.
NEW WINDSOR — A large fire broke out in the woods straddling Moodna Creek on Thursday afternoon, drawing over 20 fire companies and unnerving nearby residents as a combination of dead trees and stiff winds carried the blaze toward neighborhoods.
Firefighters from as far away as Westchester County battled the fire from points along the east and west sides of creek.
In one section, they strung more than a half-mile of hose along a winding path leading from a staging area into the woods.
"It changed direction on us numerous times," said Chris Sweeney, chief of the Vails Gate Fire Department. "It was a battle to keep ahead of it."
The fire was first spotted at 1:32 p.m. It came on a day when the National Weather Service warned that winds up to 25 miles per hour and low humidity raised the risk for fire growth.
The fire started small but quickly grew, due to a combination of stiff winds and dead timber. At some point it jumped the Moodna, Sweeney said as he stood on the west side of the creek.
"On the other side there was some concern as it moved toward occupied areas," he said. "It didn't threaten them directly but it was moving in that direction."
Herb Roach came home about 2 p.m. and saw flames in the woods bordering his property at the end of Frost Lane in Cornwall.
A neighbor helped him move a trailer away from the stone wall separating his property from the woods.
Fire trucks and cars lined Frost Lane as firefighters battled the blaze. Worried neighbors gathered at his property to watch them work, Roach said.
"They were all here," he said.
By 7:30 p.m. the fire on the west side of the creek was contained, but hot spots still smoldered on the east side, Sweeney said.
Norman Laddick just finished repairing more of the damage flooding from Hurricane Irene inflicted on his house on Forge Hill Road.
After learning of the fire he walked up the road to a gravel path firefighters used to access the woods along the east side of the creek. He recalled being out of his house for 11 weeks due to the flooding.
"We just didn't want to go through that again," he said. "We're just now getting it back together and to think that a fire is this close."

|After an unsuccessful bid earlier in the summer, returned with my dad for attempt #2. Got an earlier, but still late start of 8.26 from the trailhead.
We were making decent time, but at the 12,700 ft-sign, my dad said he was tuckered out, & would prefer to wait for me. Kept going, summiting at either 16.24 or .25, depending on what the real high point is.
What a circus on top of the mountain! Over 100 people, a cafeteria, a train, & a gift shop??!! I bought into it, though, getting a pretzel, lemonade, & a couple of souvenirs.
Departed from the mileage sign @ 17.19, meeting up with my dad shortly above the 12,700 ft-sign (he'd started up again). Most of the descent was in the darkness, & we got to see a mostly full moon, & the city lights below (though I certainly wouldn't want such an experience on most peaks, it was cool this time). Got back to the TH @ 22.40.

|What a great start to Sept! We backpacked through fog & drizzle & spent the night at Barr Camp. We reached the summit around 11am the following day, which was sunny & clear. This was the most i was ever physcially challenged--with the 7,000+ elevation gain. It was intense, but so worth it...for my 4th time on the mtn (twice on the cog & once on the hwy before). The day was perfect w/out a storm in sight. The summit was very crowded since it was Parent's Weekend at the Academy & the whole Academy seemed to be on the mtn...so avoid Labor Day weekend on the Peak if you don't want to be overwhelmed.

|We only had time for the quick route up Pikes, which was not all that rewarding since the trailhead starts at around 12,900 feet. It was cold and there were patches of fog drifting all around us, which made it a fun and surreal climb. We descended the peak with a group of mountain goats, very cool. This is a great mountain, too bad there are always so many tourists.

I can see how this mountain could inspire the writing of "America the Beautiful." We enjoyed the summit and shopped in the summit store for awhile and then rode the train back down.

I wasn't having such a good day due to lack of sleep and just took my time at the back of the pack. The mountain was surprisingly enjoyable given the number of people I was expecting and a holiday weekend and all. It was quite nice to have the restaurant/store at the top to hang out. A truly unique experience. Probably not a mountain I would ever climb again unless via the Barr Trail.

|Started at 12:30pm on Saturday. A nice sunny, warm day down in Manitou. Lots of hikers and runners enjoying the Barr Trail. Made it up to Barr Camp by 3:45, where I relaxed and filled up on water. Continued onto the A-Frame. What a great shelter. Almost completely protected from the howling winds, and a wonderful view of the city lights below. The sunrise from here was phenomenol!
Started hiking again at 6am. I figured I'd be up at the summit by 9:00. Ha! Once above treeline, conditions deteriorated. The snow was deep in places, and I was glad I brought my snowshoes. The wind was fierce. The blowing snow covered up the trail in lots of places. Sometimes I could barely walk forward against the wind. My progress was sloowwww. At the start of the Golden Staircase, I pretty much lost the trail for good. I almost turned around at about 13,900' because I was convinced I couldn't make it up the steep, snow-covered slope, and it was getting late. But finally I did. Then I had one final, steep section to scramble. I could hear the train blow its whistle from just behind the ridge; I knew I was almost there. Finally, I peered over the ridge and saw the train and the summit house. I made it.
I shared the summit with a trainload of people (the highway was closed), and when the train left, it was just me and the Summit House staff. I rested, filled up with water again, and started back down. The top section was MUCH faster going down. After quickly losing the trail from the top, I glissaded down the east slope until catching the trail again at about 13,100'. I got to the A-Frame from the summit in 2 hours -- it had taken me 6 hours to get up.
After that it was just a lonnnng hike back down to Manitou. Got to the car at about 8:30pm.

When Your Child Has a Stye
A stye is a common problem in children. It's an infection that appears as a red bump or swelling near the rim of the upper or lower eyelid. Though a stye can irritate the eye and cause redness, it should not be confused with pink eye (conjunctivitis). Unlike pink eye, a stye is not contagious. It's not a serious problem and can be easily treated.
What Causes a Stye?
A stye is caused by a clogged oil gland near the rim of the eyelid.
What Are the Symptoms of a Stye?
Red bump or swelling near the eyelid
Itchiness of the eye and eyelid
Feeling that an object is in the eye
How Is a Stye Diagnosed?
A stye is diagnosed by how it looks. To get more information, the doctor will ask about your child's symptoms and health history. The doctor will also examine your child. You will be told if any tests are needed.
How Is a Stye Treated?
To help relieve your child's symptoms, apply a warm compress to the stye
3–4times a day. This can be done with a warm, clean washcloth. A bottle filled with warm water, or a potato warmed in the microwave and wrapped in a towel, can also be used as a compress.
Do not squeeze or touch the stye. If the stye drains on its own, cleanse the eye with a warm, clean washcloth.
While most styes do not require treatment, the doctor may prescribe antibiotic eyedrops or eye ointment.
If your child does not get better within
4–6weeks, he or she may be referred to an ophthalmologist. This is a doctor who specializes in treating eye problems. In rare cases, a stye may need to be drained or removed.
Call the doctor if your child has any of the following:
In an infant under 3 months old, a rectal temperature of 100.4°F (38.0°C) or higher
In a child 3 to 36 months, a rectal temperature of 102°F (39.0°C) or higher
In a child of any age who has a temperature of 103°F (39.4°C) or higher
A fever that lasts more than 24-hours in a child under 2 years old, or for 3 days in a child 2 years or older
Your child has had a seizure caused by the fever
Red or warm skin around the affected eye
Drainage from the stye
Trouble seeing from the affected eye
A stye that won't go away even with treatment
Styes that keep coming back

What's next for facility management? Are you ready for some energy efficiency from the future? Two Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory research projects were awarded grants by the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) to advance energy technologies. The two grants total nearly $5 million.
The first grant of $3 million went to the Molecular Foundry's Delia Milliron for her work on smart window technologies. The project will seek to enhance the energy efficiency of buildings through advanced electrochromic windows with improved performance and low cost.
The second grant focuses on the creation of a system to "map" a building's thermal use leading to more efficient design and construction. That grant is led by Environmental Energy Technology Division's Philip Haves and is supported by $1.94 million from ARPA-E.
On November 28, Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced 66 cutting-edge research projects selected by ARPA-E to receive a total of $130 million in funding through its "OPEN 2012" program.
ARPA-E seeks out transformational, breakthrough technologies that show fundamental technical promise but are too early for private-sector investment. These projects have the potential to produce game-changing breakthroughs in energy technology, form the foundation for entirely new industries, and could have large commercial impacts.
The "Low Cost Solution Processed Universal Smart Window Coatings" project, awarded $3 million in ARPA-E funding, is a collaborative effort between Milliron's research group at the Molecular Foundry and scientists in Berkeley Lab's Environmental Energy Technologies Division (EETD), in partnership with Heliotrope Technologies.
The team aims to develop a new electrochromic window coating technology, which can respond to changing weather conditions by regulating the amounts of visible light and heat permitted to enter a building, dramatically reducing energy usage. Electrochromics currently on the market lack this flexibility and are prohibitively expensive. This project promises to address both of these issues, resulting in a new window that is scalable for manufacturing and affordable enough to stimulate widespread adoption.
"The ARPA-E proposal review process is highly competitive and selects for innovative concepts with the potential for major impact on the energy landscape. It is a real privilege to be awarded this grant," says Milliron, Molecular Foundry Deputy Director and Principal Investigator of the electrochromic smart window project.
This new window coating will respond to a small, applied voltage to vary the transmittance of visible light and heat-producing near-infrared radiation (NIR). In this way, the sun's power n be harnessed to permit maximal light and heat to enter in cold weather, while preventing unwanted heating and glare on hot, sunny days. Ultimately, such dynamic windows would be integrated with an intelligent control system to maximize energy savings and make buildings more comfortable.

Energy Department Selects Industry Consortium to Accelerate Development of Next Generation Battery Technologies for Automobiles
May 15, 2013
The Energy Department today announced the U.S. Advanced Battery Consortium will lead an industry-wide effort to accelerate development of high-efficiency, cost-effective battery technologies for electric vehicles. By investing in these cutting-edge battery technologies, the Energy Department is helping to cut America's oil imports and provide American families and businesses with more transportation options.
The U.S. Advanced Battery Consortium, located in Southfield, Michigan and managed by Chrysler Group, Ford Motor Company, and General Motors, will solicit, fund, and manage cooperative research and development projects to improve next-generation advanced energy storage technologies for vehicles. As part of the initiative, the consortium will engage U.S. battery and component manufacturers, universities, and the national laboratories to coordinate research on advanced energy storage technologies for hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and all-electric vehicles.
Selected through a competitive solicitation, the U.S. Advanced Battery Consortium will receive $12.5 million annually over five years, subject to congressional appropriations. The Energy Department's investment will be met dollar-for-dollar with cost-share funding from the private sector.
This initiative supports the Department's EV Everywhere Challenge, a national effort aimed at making electric vehicles more affordable and convenient for the average American family by specifically targeting dramatic technological and cost improvements in batteries, electric motors, power electronics, light-weight structures, and fast charging technology. The EV Everywhere Challenge is bringing together America's best scientists, engineers, and students help put the United States in the lead to manufacture and export the next generation of advanced electric vehicles and electric vehicle components, creating good paying manufacturing jobs and stimulating the American economy.
The Energy Department's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy accelerates development and facilitates deployment of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and market-based solutions that strengthen U.S. energy security, environmental quality, and economic vitality. Learn more about the Department's efforts to meet tomorrow's transportation challenges with an integrated portfolio of advanced vehicle and fuel research, development, demonstration, and deployment activities.

They're being discontinued because they weren't selling as well as they hoped so no new version in the works. I think they weren't selling because they're so expensive though.

SkipHop Pronto, strapped to a wrap. I LOVED this. There's a clip on it, so I could put it on anything. It's almost 3years old now though, so I don't know if the new ones have the same design or not. It's small, but had space for a couple diaper changes (even cloth if you really stuffed it) and a spare outfit. I could even squeeze my wallet (very small one) phone and keys in there. We were spending an afternoon walking around Seattle in this pic, and the Pronto is all I brought. That little sucker was FULL! LOL! But it was all I needed, and strapped to whatever kind of carrier I chose. I don't know that it would work well with an RS or stretchy wrap, but I've used it with SSCs, MTs and wovens.
Ergo also made a backpack that would attach to it's carriers. I don't know if they still make them or if they would work on other carriers or not. I was looking into one before deciding that the Skiphop Pronto was all I needed... and was much less expensive.

These robots will never work. A robot cannot hold the attention of or maintain control over a class of 30-40 students. As for AIDS testing... Koreans are pretty backwards when it comes to sex education and understanding the risks of transmission from HIV/AIDS. Rather than educating parents, the government is just giving in to parents who insist on native English speakers being tested.
If a native English speaker who was HIV positive was actually a risk simply because they were sharing a classroom with a child, then shouldn't all Korean teachers be tested as well? If just teaching a child poses a risk of transmission, then Koreans are a threat too. Parents and Korea in general seems to believe that HIV/AIDS is a foreigner only problem. That is dangerous thinking and needs to change.

PORTSMOUTH — The owners of the Southgate Plaza told a city committee on Tuesday that they want to erect a five-story building where Big Lots is now located.
Douglas Richardson, the director of development for Waterstone Retail, said the proposed building would feature retail on the ground floor and then four floors of apartments.
"It will be no more than 110 units, which is (in) the direct spirit of the Gateway District," Richardson told the city's Technical Advisory Committee.
Richardson said the developers plan to present the formal plans for the new building to the city within 60 to 90 days.
After the meeting, Richardson said he believes the Southgate Plaza is a perfect location for the proposed building.
"We're very close to downtown and we're a stop on the bus line," he said.
Developers recently opened a new movie theater in the plaza, and the proposed retail/apartment building would be located close to it, Richardson said.

This soup was really good! So flavorful! My husband looked at me and said, "I really like this!" My 8 year old daughter asked if she could take the leftovers in her thermas for lunch. Rainning today, so I wanted to make soup! I wish I would have found this recipe earlier in the fall. I used low sodium broths and omitted the extra seasoning salt. I added some onion and garlic powder. 1 small potatoe and I used really small shells for the pasta. Topped with parmsean, cheddar, jack cheese, and sour cream. I wasn't sure about it at first. I thought I was gonna be ordering pizza. For some reason, I thought I wasn't going to like it. Probably because of the tomatoey look. But, instead I wish I would of doubled the recipe. Will be using this for winters to come. Thank You!!!
We loved this. I followed the recipe as written other then I forgot to add the butter and flour mixture after cooking. I couldn't find an 8 ounce can of diced tomatoes so I used a 15 ounce can. I also cooked 16 ounces of macaroni and added to the crockpot at the end of cooking. We topped with grated parmesan. We all enjoyed this. It also heated up nicely the next day.
My new favorite crockpot recipe!!! My hubby and two young kiddos loved it!!! So easy and very yummy!!! I used shell macaroni and added it to the crockpot after boiling. Was delicious and will definitely make it again!!!

Fire heavily damages family home in Richmond
Officials say it's not immediately clear how it started
UPDATED 3:00 PM EDT Apr 08, 2013
Fire caused extensive damage to a house in Richmond Saturday afternoon, despite the best efforts of a half dozen area fire departments who tried to stop it.
A neighbor discovered the fire at 280 Collins Mountain Road about 1:15 p.m.
Fire Chief Thomas Levesque said no one was inside when the blaze broke out. No firefighter was hurt and Levesque said the family's cat got out safely.
The homeowners were reportedly vacationing in Maine.
Levesque said he wasn't sure how the fire started, but suspected the chimney might be involved.
Crews from Williston, Jericho, Underhill & Bolton assisted on scene.

Doom 3 BFG Edition Xbox 360
- Publisher: Bethesda Softworks
- Release Date: Oct 16, 2012
- Also On: PC, PlayStation 3
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Hyper MagazineDec 17, 2012Still creepy, still fun eight years later. Not quite enough new content to win back old fans, but first-timers will delight. [Jan 2013, p.74]
Oct 22, 2012This collection is a little something for fans to whet their appetites with in preparation for id's long-awaited reveal of the long-in-development fourth installment. With that said, this is one of the best HD re-releases I've played so far.
Dec 5, 2012Doom 3 BFG Edition isn't the complete, ultimate Doom collection I was hoping for but it's still a lot of great content in one place and for a good price. Even if I prefer the original games modded to fan perfection, BFG Edition is a great entry point for novices, or a good way for lapsed fans to rediscover the blood, carnage and white knuckle terror of Doom.
Nov 5, 2012DOOM 3 BFG Edition is basically an appetizer for the main course that is DOOM 4. Still, it's a fantastic bundle for any horror enthusiast or DOOM fan, or even anyone looking to relive one of the better games of the last generation. It's flawed, sure, but there's almost a bit of charm in that
Oct 23, 2012It wasn't a very good game eight years ago and slightly improved graphics certainly don't improve its standing now, but if nothing else this proves the world needs a Doom 4.
Oct 23, 2012Doom 3: BFG Edition is, without a doubt, the definitive collection for fans of this series. The package brings together virtually every Doom offering that has ever existed, with additions like the "duct tape" mod and The Lost Missions amounting to delicious gravy.
Oct 22, 2012Doom 3 BFG Edition is an outstanding package for the price tag. If you have never played the original Doom 3, it is a must for fans of the genre.
Oct 19, 2012Whether you have the energy to experience all of that entertainment depends entirely on your tolerance for non-stop, mostly immutable FPS action, but nevertheless, this is worth nabbing for any DOOM fan currently not rocking a gaming rig.
Oct 25, 2012While several nagging issues can make it feel more like a rushed port rather than the definitive director's cut it should be, there's no denying that Doom 3 has improved with age.
Oct 22, 2012Doom 3 is a simple and old FPS but it's also a classic with a nice survival horror soul. Those who love old school shooters and missed the third chapter of the saga should try this enhanced version before it becomes too old.
Oct 29, 2012You get a straight port of Doom and Doom II, a nicely polished up HD version of Doom 3, and a chance to send a whole lot of monsters to hell. It's Doom. Marine, grab the biggest freakin' gun you can find and follow me.
Oct 28, 2012Doom 3 still manages to give us some great emotions, but it didn't age too well and the always present flashlight just worsens the general feeling.
Oct 23, 2012An interesting remake of the classic shooter with added content and remodeled graphics.
Oct 22, 2012Doom 3 has aged fantastically well. Provided you haven't already played the games in this collection, BFG Edition is also a solid value.
Nov 26, 2012An homage to the well-known and groundbreaking shooter franchise. The excellent lighting, the atmosphere and the great use of sound are, like in the old days, top-notch. The other parts of the game have all been improved by other games by now. Doom 3 is an aged game, but still an awesome one.
Oct 25, 2012Doom 3: BFG Edition is still an enjoyable romp through armies of hellspawn, and if you've yet to play the Doom series, there's a lot to like here. Just be prepared for plenty of repetitive strafing and hours of fragging ugly demon ass. This is quite clearly the devil's work.
Oct 25, 2012The star of this show is the new Lost Mission expansion for Doom 3. You'll tear through its mild terrors and pedestrian repair and retrieval errands in under three hours, but the final 45-minute trek through a bloody, lava-strewn outpost in hell is the prettiest and most entertaining part of the package. It's not enough to make the BFG Edition feel like a true bargain.
Oct 24, 2012Ultimately, this Doom 3 redux reveals a game that conjures the same tricks as its predecessors, but without the humor or flair.
Oct 22, 2012The BFG Edition is the best you're going to do right now if you want to buy a new copy of a shooter that, for better or worse, ranks among the most hyped video game releases of all time.
Oct 22, 2012Eight years have passed since the original Doom 3 debuted in the world of high-end PC gaming. Meanwhile, FPS have evolved so much that this glorious title shows all the time that has passed.
Oct 22, 2012id Software's take on hell might be a little two-dimensional, but if you don't have the patience for the likes of Dead Space, this should scratch your diabolical itch.
Oct 19, 2012Doom 3 has flaws that have only become more obvious with time, and tweaking a few gameplay mechanics isn't enough to rectify them.
Oct 19, 2012Doom 3 is an old game, and making the graphics high definition can't hide that simple fact. It just doesn't feel fresh and not even the first two Doom games thrown in as a bonus can change that simple fact.
Oct 19, 2012For an eight year old game, this action classic has aged well. But nonetheless this seemingly complete package is disappointing, mainly because id decided to improve most of its content to the worse.
Oct 30, 2012Doom 3 BFG Edition is an expensive game that won't easily find buyers. Admittedly, the pack proposes a lot of stuff such as Doom 3, Resurrection of Evil, The Lost Mission, Doom et Doom II. However, the "enhanced" part is not as good as it should be. The original game and its expansions did get really old despite their new support for 3D and the introduction of a checkpoint save system that won't revolutionize the gameplay.
Oct 25, 2012If you need a fix of some classic run-and-gun action, both of the original Dooms are available for pretty cheap, $15 together (a fiver for the original, tenner for the sequel). If you still want the third, this will do, but you'd be better off buying an original Xbox copy. These three games for forty bucks? No frills or "making of" videos, no concept art or anything behind the scenes? For a poop-ton of extras I could see a full release, but this simply reeks of the combination of "let's fix minor prior mistakes", like the flashlight with a weapon and some other lighting bits, and cashing in on a 20th anniversary, minus any… you know, history. Wait for the price for this to drop, or just save your cash.
Oct 19, 2012It's a game that can startle you, for sure, but one that more often bores, the gunplay a low thrumming drone rather than a high-pitched screech of rage.
Nov 27, 2012With Halo 4 and Black Ops 2 just released, there are much better investment opportunities in the world of the FPS for your disposable income, making this re-release Doomed to the bargain bin.
Oct 22, 2012Doom 3 on PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2012, why not: the game was a hit in 2004, but this BFG version remains far too short on the remastering front. FPS titles made tremendous progress in the meantime, and playing Doom 3 today clearly shows how much. The addition of Doom and Doom 2 on the disc is cool, but with no multiplayer on them, and even with its small price, it still feels like too little, too late.

Mom and Dad spent several years in the early 50's trying to find the perfect place to raise a family. Their philosophy was – "If we had a million dollars, where would we live and what would we do?" They searched the East Coast from Florida to Maine and fell in love with New Hampshire.
In the summer of 1951, they arranged to meet Mr. Arthur Symonds from Strout Realty. He reluctantly showed Mom and Dad the "Gould Place," an old farm with 225 acres of land on the side of Mt. Cube. The house was a major "fixer-upper" but it had the most beautiful view of Moosilauke, the most southern of the White Mountains. Mom and Dad bought it on the spot for $5,000!
We spent part of two summers in the Gould house. During our second summer, we learned that the Mt. Cube Farm was for sale. This was a substantial brick house with 365 acres of land – just ¼ mile up the road from the Gould house with the same beautiful view. In addition, the property came with two maple sugar bushes and two sugar houses. Mom and Dad paid a purchase price of $16,000 and insisted that the owner, Jess Currier, teach us how to make maple syrup. That was not a difficult request for Jess, as he loved making maple syrup and was extremely happy to discover that the new owners wished to continue his legacy at Mt. Cube Farm.
In the spring of 1954, when I was 12, Dad and I spent about ten days learning the basics of sugar making and never looked back. Mom and Dad moved the family to the farm that September.
The next spring, with a little help from some neighbor friends, we started our first year of producing maple syrup. After tapping the trees and hanging the 2,000 buckets, I boiled sap in the little sugar house while Dad boiled in the big sugar house. My brothers, David, age 11, and Tom, age 9, helped gather sap from the buckets with our team of horses, Babe and Ginger. After the first year of production, we successfully made nearly 250 gallons of syrup. When the sap stopped running, Mom and sisters, Muffin, age 6, and Janet, age 4, as well as my youngest brother Robb, age 2, helped in the tedious process of washing the buckets and cleaning the evaporators. It was truly a family affair, and we all loved it!
Mt. Cube Farm has made several advances since the 50's, but our love for the business remains the same. The farm now taps 8,300 trees, and we have the capability to tap thousands more in the near future. Mt. Cube Farm will be able to take care of your maple syrup needs for years to come. Once you taste it, you will be hooked!
