pair of researchers at Arizona State University has announced a new
advancement in making nanowires that could one day lead to
significantly more efficient solar panels and LED lighting that is
color changeable. The engineers who made the advance are Cun-Zheng
Ning and Alian Pan.The pair are working on ways to improve
the quaternary alloy semiconductor nanowire raw materials.
The nanowires the pair work with are nanometers in diameter and tens
of microns in length. They are made from four elements, typically by
alloying two or more compound semiconductors.The researchers
say that the band gap is the most important thing that controls how
solar panels absorb sunlight and what color light LEDs produce. The
more available band gaps for solar panels, the more of the spectrum
of light panels will be able to absorb. With LEDs, more band gaps
mean more colors of light can be produced. The big
hurdle for the researchers is that naturally occurring and manmade
semiconductors today only have a specific band gap. The only way to
widen the band gap available to the semiconductor is to compound two
or more semiconductors. The trick to accomplishing the alloy of
semiconductors is that they two have to have a lattice with similar
inter-atomic spaces to match and be grown together.Ning said,
"This is why we cannot grow alloys of arbitrary compositions to
achieve arbitrary band gaps. This lack of available band gaps is one
of reasons current solar cell efficiency is low, and why we do not
have LED lighting colors that can be adjusted for various
situations."So far, the team has been able to create a
zinc sulfide and cadmium selenide alloy to produce a quaternary
semiconductor – this is the first time that a quaternary
semiconductor has been produced in the form of a nanowire or
nanoparticle. The team is now studying the application and use of the
quaternary alloy materials for making solar cells and has developed a
lateral multi-cell design panel.
quote: ...placing the entire city into permanent subterranean gloom.
quote: would require an area 100 times as much
quote: #1 is that transmitting energy over 50,000 linear miles would result in line losses eating up nearly all the generated power.
quote: Covering the interstates would require you to either light them underneath (using more power) or have drivers in the dark 24 hours a day.
quote: You'd need support posts strong enough to survive a car impact
quote: So? Even if you double my initial estimate, its still only 1/50 the amount of land you need, even ignoring the vast amounts extra needed due from energy storage and transmission losses.
quote: You agree, but you don't see the implication.
quote: Huh? Look at any current Interstate overpass.
quote: No. Look at a map of the Federal highway system...most of those highway miles, especially in the Western US, are well outside major population centers.
quote: By your own words, you suggested the amount of land was enough to provide "a fat percentage" of the nation's power. If something between 1 and 2% is "fat" in your book, then I concur.
quote: I identified several, the two largest being a) the amount of land is only enough to provide a tiny fraction of our power needs, and b) Highway siting would be far more expensive than using undeveloped land somewhere, despite the space above the highway being "free", due to the need for elevated supports.
quote: If you think that's still a viable alternative just from those two factors alone, I don't know that continuing the discussion will be fruitful.
quote: This is a little silly. A tunnel 100' long is quite dark in the middle.
quote: Take a look at any large wall-less structure, for instance a large horse arena. There's one near my house, that is roughly 100' x 300'...and lit from above, even during daylight shows
quote: quote: So? Even if you double my initial estimate, its still only 1/50 the amount of land you need, even ignoring the vast amounts extra needed due from energy storage and transmission losses. Again, to do what? What do you think the proposal is suggesting?
quote: quote: Huh? Look at any current Interstate overpass. I do. Regularly. It's called "shade". It looks darker in pictures due to contrast and poor dynamic range. It's NOT "in the dark" as you suggest, nor does it necessitate lighting.
quote: I would have to disagree that night time demand is higher than day.
quote: Parking lots with solar panel roofs (currently producing excess electricity) and other things that are being dismissed as Pie in the Sky or useless in this thread.
quote: I long for the days of antigravity and Warp-10 spacecraft also
quote: Exactly, how many times do I have to read the same bullshit article saying "new technologies allow for solar panels to be cheaper and more efficient"....and then nothing happens. Yea. Maybe we should stop reporting this crap until a real, affordable product comes out that uses it.
quote: The US DOE has been spending billions on solar technology since the late 1970s.
quote: They invented solar panels that were twice as efficient (PbSe) back in 05 and we havent seen any of them yet.
quote: Just because the technology doesn't appear on your supermarket shelf 6 weeks later doesn't mean it nothing has happened.

Stanislaus in running for health care call center
Call center would provide 300 jobs
Stanislaus is one of two California counties that could get a call center as part of the state's new program to help uninsured Californians.
The decision will be made on Jan. 18 by the California Health Benefit Exchange, a newly created state agency.
Sacramento County recently lost its bid, which means Stanislaus County is now competing with Contra Costa County for the call center.
The call centers are part of an effort to comply with the Obama administration's plan to have every American insured by 2014.
Stanislaus County officials said the call center would bring 300 new jobs to the area.
Callers would contact the center to see if they are eligible for Medi-Cal, and if not, what their options are for health coverage.

This pearl is usually imparted to a trainee attempting to add perfection to an adequate operation. Trying to create perfection has plagued antireflux surgery more than most operations, ever since Harrington1 published the first series of diaphragmatic hernia repairs (28 patients) in the Archives in 1928. Allison reported his anatomical repair in 1945, then Nissen experimented with several techniques over 25 years, initially favoring Allison's technique, then gastropexy, before settling on fundoplication in the 1960s. Belsey, Hill, Rosetti, and Toupet all tried to make a good operation better, while Angelchik tried to invent a new one. However, the biggest redefinition of outcome resulted from the introduction of laparoscopy.

That makes sense. I don't remember what coach said that but the press was really rough on Joubert after Torino. Going back to Matrix was a good idea.Joubert has always attributed his disappointing showing in Torino to skating an LP that did not suit him (Lord of the Dance), and has said that one of his biggest regrets was not changing it to The Matrix earlier than he did; he skated very well at 2006 Worlds after going back to that program.
I'm not sure which coach said that, but I seriously doubt it was true.
I think it's interesting to compare Josee with Joannie. Joannie struggled with her confidence at first, but she always did have that fighter's instinct.
I'm not a Weir fan - and I rolled my eyes in later seasons when he used any excuse possible to reason why he would make mistakes, but his 2003 LP I don't think was in anyway fake.
He fell into the boards and hurt his back but he didn't restart, he picked up where he left off. You don't get restarts any more, not since 2000-01. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmQGm51ygmwJohnny Weir 2003 US nationals LP
Chapter: Enfant Terrible, Page: 61
After that, he fell on the triple Axel and busted up his knee, which was his genuine withdrawal, and, as I say, karma.I went tumbling to the ice in a tangle of confusion and embarrassment. It was so crazy I didn't know what to do with myself. I got up very quickly, and then, even though I wasn't injured, put my hand on my back, pretending that there was something wrong. Lying seemed to have become my default.
Now what should I do? Out of instinct, I had pretended to be hurt. There was nothing to do but go through with it.
He confesses to lying about his injuries and illnesses a number of times during that book. I think in the same season at Cup of Russia he pretended to be sick simply because he and the federation were having a snafu about his costume. Of course, it was so last-minute that there was no replacement. I wonder who missed out on an opportunity because Weir threw a diva fit?
Reading an article about Susan Humphreys, a Canadian lady skater who had endless potential but no mental toughness. The article is harsh, truthfully Susan was a scapegeat after 1997, her failing was more a symptom of the weak field of Canadian women skaters we had at the time, not the cause of the problem. At the 1997 Worlds, Susan had a nasty abscessed blister and ha to withdraw. Her coach didn't allow her to use the injury as a total excuse because she knew in order for Susan to realize her potential she needed to develop that mental toughness.
It makes me think of Sandhu and McLeod. I wonder if they had that conversation, did McLeod agree with Sandhu that 1998 is to blame for Sandhu's frequent disasters? Same with Weir's coach. I remember after the 2003 nationals, the USFSA told Weir to retire.
I think it's a fine line when a skater implodes but patting them on the hand all the time won't do them any good. A coach does need to be honest, but how many times can she say "Get it together" before she decides she's had it and the skater needs to shape up or ship out.
Watching someone you know has potential repeatedly fail can be so frustrating. With Sandhu, I really lost patience at times, especially after Torino and when he said he blames the COA. I just thought "OK, I felt for you then, and yes the third berth was wasted, but that was eight years ago. Get over it and prove yourself!"

Aug. 11, 1926 – July 18, 2013
Francis J. Offermann Jr., an attorney and son of former Buffalo Bisons owner and Erie County Sheriff Frank J. Offermann, died July 18 while visiting the Chautauqua Institution. He was 86.
Born in Buffalo, he attended the Stella Niagara Cadet School. His father owned the Bisons until his death in 1935, and the team's home on Michigan Avenue was renamed Offermann Stadium.
After graduating high school in 1943 from LaSalle Military Academy on Long Island, Mr. Offermann enlisted in the Navy and served in the Pacific as a ensign until his discharge in 1946.
In 1949, after receiving a bachelor's degree from Canisius College, he married the former Anne Kinney in Buffalo. They moved to Washington, D.C., where he received a juris doctorate from Georgetown University Law School in 1951 and served as a law clerk to the U.S. Court of Appeals.
Mr. Offermann returned to Buffalo in 1953 and joined the Phillips Lytle law firm.
In 1956, he formed the law firm Offermann, Fallon, Mahoney et al, which was located in the Statler Towers for more than 50 years. His focus was on corporate and civil litigation.
Mr. Offermann was a member of the American Bar Association, the New York State Bar Association and Bar Association of Erie County. In addition to leading numerous committees, he served as a delegate on the state bar's House of Delegates and as vice president representing the Eighth Judicial District.
For the county bar, he served as director, vice president and president, and he was currently serving as chairman of its Senior Lawyers Committee.
Mr. Offermann received the New York State Bar Association Pro Bono Service award in 2007 for his work on behalf of the Volunteer Lawyers Project. He represented two elderly women who were victims of predatory lending, allowing them to save their homes.
He was a past member of the Canisius College Association's Board of Governors, former chairman of the United Way's Professional Division and Lawyer's Section, past member of the Sisters of St. Joseph Lay Advisory Board and past board member of the Buffalo & Erie County Botanical Gardens.
At the time of his death, he was active in the legal field, engaged in pro bono work as well as serving as counsel to the Sisters of St. Francis of Stella Niagara and Buffalo Academy of the Sacred Heart. He was a lector at St. Joseph-University Catholic Church.
Survivors include his wife of 63 years; two sons, Francis III and Geoffrey; a daughter, Barbara; a sister, Jeanne M. Lawless; and a brother, Paul.
A memorial Mass will be offered 2 p.m. Aug. 10 in St. Joseph-University Catholic Church, 3269 Main St.

Tuesday, September 17, 2013
With the anniversary of the SC Department of Revenue hacking quickly approaching, many of the 1 year Experian ProtectMyID® credit monitoring subscriptions will soon be expiring. As a reminder, the ProtectMyID® service is good for one year of monitoring from the date you signed up. Experian began sending out renewal solicitations last week which are likely to create confusion.
As a result of our budget deliberations in June, the General Assembly decided to extend monitoring services. This time however the provider will be selected through a bid process rather than the emergency selection made following the discovery of the breach. This selection process is still under way. The Budget and Control Board is currently reviewing the submitted proposals and should make a decision by the end of the month. It is too early to know exactly what will be covered by the new contract but I believe it is safe to say the contract will provide equal if not greater coverage than the current services provided by Experian. At this time, unless your monitoring is set to expire before the end of the month, you may want to wait for details on the new state provided service.
As soon as a decision is made regarding this coming year's contract, I'll notify you with what steps you should take to protect yourselves. You may also contact the Consumer Affairs Identity Theft Division directly. And please share this information with friends and family that may not be aware.
In the meantime, my staff and I are here to answer any questions you may have on the matter. Please don't hesitate to contact our office. Until then...
Take care,

Oklahoma Grapples With Storm's Carnage
Rescue Efforts Continue in Flattened Neighborhoods as Death Toll Revised to 24; 'I Think This Is My Street,' Resident Says
MOORE, Okla.—Rescuers pored over demolished neighborhoods on Tuesday as this battered area began to regroup and assess the carnage a day after a massive and deadly tornado tore through towns just south of Oklahoma City, killing dozens, injuring hundreds and obliterating structures in its path.
At least 24 people died, nine of them children, according to a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management. The death toll, which had originally been reported at 51, was revised because victims were initially double counted, the spokeswoman said. More than 230 people were injured by the storm, officials said. One hospital, University of Oklahoma Medical Center, said it received 45 children.
Meanwhile, heavy equipment and bulldozers arrived by the dozens to clear debris-strewn streets. Disaster relief workers walked neighborhoods, asking dazed people what they needed.
The bad weather continued Tuesday, with lightning and hail delaying rescue efforts and turning the skies a bleak gray that mirrored the collective mood.
"It's been a very heartbreaking experience, especially the loss of children," said Gov. Mary Fallin, who flew over the devastated community Tuesday, and said the destruction and downed street signs had rendered some areas unidentifiable.
One Moore resident, Robert Senters, couldn't find his street as he drove through his Moore neighborhood, which had been squashed to mostly rubble. Some houses simply vanished, but most were flattened, leaving empty plots dotted with mangled cars and littered with piles of wood and brick. Whole tree trunks were sucked from the earth exposing their long, twisted roots.
Some lots had tents set up and neighbors were picking through the detritus to find photos and family mementos.
"I think this is my street," said Mr. Senters, a retired purchasing agent for Tinker Air Force Base, who turned 59 on Monday. He shares a birthday with his wife Judy, who turned 63. The Senterses were luckier than many of their neighbors.

The fierce winds battered their compact brick house, smashing some windows, but it was still standing. Although authorities have told them they may not have power or water for a month, they plan to stay regardless. "This is all I have," said Mr. Senters, who lost a house in another tornado. "I have no plan B."
The Department of Emergency Management said at least three tornadoes touched down Monday in Oklahoma, including in Oklahoma City, Moore and Duncan, but Moore took the hardest hit. The National Weather Service Tuesday afternoon rated the tornado that tore through Moore as an EF-5 with winds in excess of 200 mph. It stretched about 17 miles long and 1.3 miles wide, remaining on the ground for about 40 minutes, the agency said.
Moore, a city of 56,000 on the outskirts of Oklahoma City, has an infamous history of being battered by twisters, having been struck by significant tornadoes three times—including on Monday—since 1999, according to the National Weather Service.

Monday's storm brought to mind the devastating twister outbreak that ripped through the Great Plains in May of 1999, killing at least 44 people.
The latest tornado struck many as particularly ferocious. It leveled schools, turning one, Plaza Towers Elementary School into a pile of twisted metal and planks, with little school chairs and backpacks in the ruins. Seven students died there, said Moore Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis.
"Our hearts are heavy…with grief for the loss of so many sweet angels," said a post Tuesday on the Facebook page of the Plaza Towers PTA, which just a day earlier had been touting a line-up of fun activities to mark the end of the school year.
Moore resident Chazlie Jones and her family heard the shrieking tornado-warning sirens begin on their drive home shortly after 3 p.m. Monday. They knew they wouldn't be able to make it to a storm shelter in time. "With the hail coming down hard and the tornado so wide you could see it, you feel hopeless in its path and know there is nothing you can do," said Ms. Jones, a 27-year-old employee of the Federal Aviation Administration.
They stopped at a Wal-Mart WMT 1.97 % where the manager was outside waving his hands at the store's entrance. Ms. Jones, her fiancé, and her two young daughters, joined about 60 others who dressed in large butcher coats and crammed into a Wal-Mart meat freezer to ride out the tornado, which touched down about 20 yards from the store. The store remains closed due to minor storm damage.
"If it weren't for that [Wal-Mart manager], my daughters would not be breathing; they would have been dead," she said.
Betty Brooks, a 60-year-old retired truck driver who lives 65 miles away in Maud, Okla., was driving into Moore for a doctor's appointment when she heard the sirens. Ms. Brooks rushed to Moore Medical Center and when she arrived, staff there were shuffling children underneath a stairwell and adults into a restroom. Then the tornado tore through.
Inside the restroom, one man held on to the door. "And when I looked at him, he looked back with this scared look and said, 'I can't hold this door shut,' " said Ms. Brooks. She said she and several other adults grabbed onto the door to hold it shut against the powerful winds. After several minutes, the pull stopped.
"We opened the door and walked out, and there was nothing there," she said.
Moore Medical Center stood gutted with some of its walls torn away and debris—including mangled cars—piled against its remaining walls. Metal guard rails were wrapped around the remaining telephone poles like pretzels. Dead phone wires and power lines littered the sidewalks.
Destiny Pierman, 13, and her mother, Michelle Evans, 31, were ecstatic to find their home in Moore still standing. But the neighborhood is too damaged for them to stay there, so they collected a laundry-basket full of clothes to head to a shelter.
Property-casualty insurance companies are expected to face at least a couple billion dollars of insured losses from the Moore tornado, according to rough calculations by Wall Street analysts, based on damages from other major tornadoes in recent years, including 2011 tornadoes in Joplin, Mo., and Tuscaloosa, Ala.
President Barack Obama on Tuesday said the prayers of the nation are with the people of Oklahoma and vowed to provide as much federal assistance as necessary to help the devastated towns deal with one of the worst tornadoes in history.
"Oklahoma needs to get everything that it needs right away," Mr. Obama said, adding that the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Craig Fugate, was on his way to Oklahoma.
But some Moore residents were still trying to process the damage on Tuesday. The Ellerds stayed Monday night in tents pitched in their front yard to deter looters. Of the family's home, only the family room, a bedroom and a closet remained.
"It's like someone dropped a bomb on it," said Tyler Ellerd.
The family's patriarch, Mark, was the only one home during the storm. He survived by taking refuge in a closet.
"We have nothing left, nothing," Jessica Ellerd said as she and her brother continued to sift through the rubble of a bedroom. "But the good part is that dad lived."

The first round of the 20th annual Roundball Classic Tournament was not kind to Summerville.
Two Summerville teams were unable to hang with a pair of out-of-state teams Thursday.
The Green Wave boys fell 66-48 to Roswell High out of Georgia. Roswell jumped out to a 45-22 lead in the first half and Summerville wasnt able to cut into the lead much.
We started out ok and made a little run but then they made a run and I think we panicked a bit and got tight, Summerville coach Greg Elliott said. They are a very good team and they were able to beat every defense we threw at them. We turned the ball over 20 times and they outrebounded us by 14.
Two players accounted for more than half of Summervilles points. Junior Christian Kalacanic led the Wave with 20 points and senior Brandon Wilkerson finished with 11 points. Summervilles record dropped to 7-3 with the loss.
The Pinewood boys (6-5) didnt fare any better as they fell 80-34 to Charlotte Christian School (8-4) in the first round. The North Carolina team dominated the first half to take a 51-11 lead and never took its foot off the gas.
Charlotte Christian hit 13 of 20 shots from three-point range and made 58.5 percent of its other shots from the floor. Pinewood did a good job rebounding, but was only 4-of-20 from three-point range and 13-of-47 from two-point range.
Charlotte Christians Matthew Fisher-Davis hit five of his six shots from behind the arc and finished with a game-high 26 points. Teammate Patrick Rooks made seven three-pointers and finished with 25 points.
Ryan Felder led the Panthers in scoring with 13 points and rebounding with seven. Corbin Landers finished with seven points. He, Reid Radebaugh, JD Waite and Jimmy Thomas all sank a 3 for Pinewood.
Play for the prestigious tournament continued Friday after press time.

LOCKPORT – A Niagara Falls man was given a prison sentence Tuesday for firing several gunshots out of the second-floor window of his Pine Avenue apartment on Sept. 5.
Jesse A. Johnson, 34, pleaded guilty Oct. 23 to attempted third-degree criminal possession of a weapon. Niagara County Court Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas called the action a very dangerous thing and said he would have to serve time in state prison, sentencing him to 1 1/2 years in state prison and three years post release supervision.
Johnson's attorney John Mattio said Johnson was drinking when he shot into a closed, padlocked area. He said he had been drinking because he was distraught when a cousin died and over the recent loss of his job.

Emma Watson's come a long way since Harry Potter, and now she's being honored for her achievements in acting.
The British actress will receive MTV's second annual Trailblazer Award – which honors the best young actors who are creating their own unique careers in the film industry – during the 2013 MTV Movie Awards on April 14 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Watson, 22, is also nominated for three other MTV Movie Awards for her role in The Perks of Being a Wallflower: best female performance, best kiss and best musical moment.
"Emma Watson endeared herself to fans as one of the most beloved and iconic characters of her generation," Stephen Friedman, President of MTV, said in a statement. "She's been a constant presence in the lives of our audience for more than a decade and is continuing to challenge her craft with upcoming roles as radically diverse as her enormous talent.
Watson doesn't show any signs of slowing down, either – next on her plate is Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring, followed by Darren Aronofsky's Noah, in which she'll costar with Russell Crowe.
Whether a coincidence or not, actresses named Emma seem to have a lock on the MTV award – last year, Emma Stone took home the first-ever Trailblazer Award.

General Racist Symbol
The Aryan Fist symbol is a twist on the fist representing the Black
power movement and the battle against racial oppression.
White Supremacists
White power
Aryan fist is a symbol of white power used by hate groups who promote their
racist agenda as white pride activism. Note: the laurel wreath appearing in the
above graphic illustrating the "Aryan fist" is actually not a racist
symbol itself, but rather a separate common skinhead symbol stemming from the
logo of a line of British clothing that became popular among skinheads. It is
the white fist itself that is the symbol of intolerance.

This has been a memorable day! I found my first ready-to-pick green bean, the first red Celebrity tomato and the first flower open on my mandevilla.
If I had room for only one vegetable in my garden, it would have to be green beans. I love to eat them, the harvest lasts a long time and, when the first crop of bush beans is finally finished, there is still plenty of time to plant more seeds and start over again.
The first picking of tender, small beans always goes into the freezer and is labeled "Christmas Beans," and that is when they are used.
There are two major types of green beans, bush and pole, and I grow both.
Pole beans obviously need some type of support, although not necessarily a pole. A trellis is good, or a homemade tepee made by tying three or more stakes together at the top and spreading the feet before sinking them into the ground. The structure does not need to be excessively sturdy, just strong enough to stand up, because the growing vines soon will wind around and keep everything in shape.
Most planting directions for pole beans will recommend spacing of about 6-10 inches apart, but I crowd mine much closer, as I do with most crops, and they flourish.
Bush beans can be planted every 3 inches. They will grow in almost any soil. Weed control is important, although if the plants are close together they will crowd out most weeds as they grow.
Hand-pulling is the best way to deal with any weeds that do appear because beans have shallow roots and can be damaged by a hoe or cultivator.
It is recommended the soil be kept evenly moist, although with the hot weather and lack of rain we are experiencing this summer, that is difficult. I am not even trying to water the garden.
After an hour of expensive city water on the garden one day last week, I went to plant some eggplant and found just about a quarter of an inch of soil was damp.
The only way is to dip a watering can into one of my rain barrels and pour it all on one needy plant. But the beans seem to be doing well without extra water so far.
It is hard to recommend specific varieties because there are so many, and they change so quickly. Every year, there are new introductions and they all sound so temptingly good. So I'll just mention the ones I grow every year, along with a few experiments.
My prime favorites are scarlet runners of any variety.
When I go to England in alternate years, I bring back Wisley Scarlet Runners. They are wonderful, although, unfortunately, the birds share my appreciation and they steal plenty of the bright red flowers before they develop into beans.
I also like purple pod beans, this year's choice being appropriately named Purple Pod. The colorful pods stand out against the foliage and so are fast and easy to harvest. When put in boiling water, the pods turn bright green within 1 or 2 minutes.
The bush beans I am growing are Trofeo, which produces long, dark green beans with a buttery flavor, and Jade, which produce their harvest over a longer period than most varieties.
As well as being good for you, beans are good for the garden.
Beans have the ability to take available nitrogen from the air and fix it into the soil. It is good to chop the vines after they have given their all, and just bury them in the ground, where they will break down over the winter, or include them in the compost pile.
There are many good bean recipes. Look for them in a cooking column in this space in a few weeks.

How would you like to win a hundred bucks?
The fine folks from LendingClub [3] are giving away $100 to one Bargaineering reader. As one of the only peer to peer lending marketplaces still doing business right now, Prosper entered a quiet period as it completes its regulatory filings. If you want to borrow or lend money, LendingClub is one of the only ways you can right now. A week ago, I posted a video explaining how peer to peer loan marketplaces like LendingClub are really helping people out of jams [4]. Today, they're ready to give a hundred bucks to one lucky reader.
Here's what you have to do to get an entry in the contest:
- Leave a comment on this post before noon, February 20th, and,
- Become a free registered member of LendingClub [3].
The second requirement, to register for free at LendingClub as a lender, is so that they can deposit the $100 directly into your account. You can withdraw that money immediately (or invest it, your choice).
Easy right?
I'll select a winner at high noon on February 20th, email them for their LendingClub username, and he or she will be credited with $100 in their account. Void where prohibited.
The contest has closed, Bobby was randomly selected to win the $100! I notified him tonight but if he doesn't respond in a week, I'll select another name.

Florida A&M University may announce in the next few weeks when its band will return.
The Marching 100 was suspended after the 2011 hazing death of drum major Robert Champion.
The university's interim president said FAMU needs to hire a new band director before he can announce when the band will return.
The school currently has four candidates for the director position; three already with ties to the famous band.

Being a stay-at-home mom (or dad) is hard.
Our family took a pretty hard hit to the budget when I became a stay-at-home mom.
And it can be a challenge to find things to do that are fun AND affordable. I started looking for activities I could do with my children (outside the house) that got them moving, kept my sanity and made naptime almost a certainty.
The end result of my research? Our community has a lot to offer!
I have compiled a list to share with all of you. I hope you enjoy!
And if you have more ideas, please share (e-mail us at email@example.com)!
What to do:
Imagination Station - This play group meets on Mondays. One week is hands-on play time, the next is a field trip. Suggested donation of $1 per family. More info: http://greeleyimaginationstation.org/
Libraries - Our libraries are amazing in Greeley. They offer programs for almost every age at no charge. For toddlers and younger, try Twinkle Babies (perfect for birth to new walkers), music and movement (singing and dancing), Tales for Tots (fun stories with a theme) and preschool story time (focus on letters, lots of interaction and a craft afterward). They also offer homework help and book clubs for older kids. More info: High Plains Library District website
Rec Centers - We have two great recreation centers in Greeley. The Family Fun Plex offers swimming in a very kid-friendly pool, open gym, mini golf and many, many classes and groups! Swimming is only $12 for a family of four or more. You can take a lunch and eat there (right past the front desk is a great seating area where my family has had many indoor picnics!). The downtown Rec Center offers swimming, a rock wall and tumbling. More info: The City of Greeley Recreation page.
Lowes offers free kids clinics on Saturdays (recommended for ages 5 and up, but my 3-year-old son enjoys them). You register your child online and then take them to the store, so they can participate. They get an apron, goggles, a patch and more. More info: lowesbuildandgrow.com.
Ice Haus - The Ice Haus is a great activity for older kids. They have cosmic skating, family skates, hockey and more. More info: http://greeleygov.com
Greeley also has many parks, swimming pools, golf courses and bike trails for summer fun. We try to go to the park and take a picnic lunch every day when the weather is nice. It allows the kids to run off some energy, keeps us all from getting cabin fever and it's free!
What do you and your kids do for fun? Chime in on the Greeley Moms Facebook page.

Founded in 1937 by Colorado Springs legend Spencer Penrose, the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo celebrated its 78th year by changing things up in a big way.
Just like Penrose attempted to maximize every opportunity, the PPOB rodeo saw a way in 2014 to accomplish their mission in a more effective way and jumped at the chance.
Although it meant leaving the PRCA's fold and becoming a non-sanctioned PRCA rodeo for the first time since sanctioning began, PPOB believed its first duty was not to tradition or even to the PRCA, but to the military charities it has supported since 1946.
"The (PPOB) rodeo has always been sanctioned, since sanctioning was around," explained Gary Markle, PPOB president for 2014. "The reason we decided to (change) was really a financial decision. Our number one mission is to support local military charities. By going to an invitation only rodeo (sponsored by Cinch), we were able to increase our giving to local military charities by having the ability to expand our sponsor base."
Another bonus out of becoming an invitational rodeo was the ability to create a mix of current competitors and those from the recent past, including a few who let their PRCA cards expire but still had the right stuff to compete.
One such cowboy was Matt Mosher from Boyero, Colo. After setting his rigging aside the last four years due to nagging concussion symptoms and family responsibilities, the Colorado bareback cowboy felt the urge to compete again and dusted off his gear to ride in the 2014 edition of PPOB.
Because of his rodeo resume and previous success in Colorado Springs, his application to compete was accepted.
It was a move that turned out well for both sides.
After tying for first place on Friday night (July 11) with Tom McFarland, Mosher moved into Saturday night's Cinch Championship Shoot Out round to compete against seven other riders. The top two scores in each event would then qualify to move ahead into a Cinch Super Shoot Out round, with the winner of each event earning $15,000 and second place taking home $5,000.
On Saturday night, Mosher climbed aboard a nice bucker named Pinball Girl and excited the crowd with a 90 point ride, which moved him into the Super Shoot Out round.
With $15,000 on the line, the Boyero cowboy got in the chutes again and started a solid ride aboard a Harry Vold bucker named Pillow Talk, but a knee buckled on him during the ride and Mosher hit the ground early.
"That was a good horse," said Mosher of his 90 point ride on Pinball Girl. "When they are that good, they are 90 percent of it. Your 10 percent is to hold up your end of the deal. Having a chance to get on something of that caliber makes most of the deal," he added. "You have to give all the credit to the horses."
Asked about why he returned after four years off to compete in this rodeo, Mosher revealed his affinity for the Colorado Springs event.
"For about a year and a half now I have felt good again," began Mosher on the topic. "I thought, why not come back and give it a whirl when there is Colorado Springs, one of my favorite rodeos and one historically I have always done good at, right down the road?"
Pressed for details of what he likes so much about the PPOB rodeo, he didn't have to search hard for an answer.
"Harry Vold," replied Mosher with conviction about the well-known rodeo stock contractor with a reputation for excellent bucking horses. "I've always done good at Harry's rodeos. He's always taken good care of me. It seemed like I always had a chance at one of his rodeos."
"I got on three tremendous horses," added Mosher about the quality of bucking stock in 2014. "If I could load them in a trailer, like those calf ropers do, and take them with me everywhere, I don't think they could hardly beat me," he said with a grin. "I chose that last horse (Pillow Talk) because I wanted to win it. It is a privilege to hang my rigging on that horse, it truly is. I just wish it had gone a little better."
"I just wish I could have kept the left one of the left side and the right one on the right side and my head off the ground," he summed up with another smile. "It would have helped."
After being off for four years, Mosher's performance was not only a crowd pleaser, it also thrilled his wife.
"I was just so proud of him," said Rose Mosher, who worked behind the scenes at the rodeo. "At the point he made the (Cinch Championship Shoot Out) round, I was just beyond proud of him."
When his 90 point ride was brought up, her smile became even bigger.
"I know," she said with energy. "I was flipping my lid."
"I'm back here hugging people and going crazy," she described with a laugh. "He is in my mind a phenomenal rider and he proved that."
"That was very exciting," said Kirsten Vold, the daughter of Harry Vold and the person in charge of Harry Vold Rodeo Company. "Matt is my friend (and) that was a great thing."
When the discussion turned to the rodeo as a whole, Vold had positive things to say about her thoughts on 2014's edition.
"It was a good event," she began about this year's rodeo. "I think the crowd enjoyed it. It was a fan friendly format in the fact that there was champion every night. People like to see a winner for that show. They like to see a champion and then they go home. This format is a new way to encourage new fans. We were happy to be a part of it.'
PPOB personnel and officials agreed with her assessment.
"I'm beyond pleased," said Nikki Wall, PR director and contestant coordinator for the PPOB Rodeo. "We produced an event we can be very proud of. Our fans got what we told them they were going to get. Our contestants are happy. Our sponsors are happy. Early results from the community are positive. It was a win/win for every entity."
"We are happy we made this decision," summed up Markle about the rodeo's choice to leave behind the PRCA sanctioning and take part in the Cinch Shoot Out format. "This is really paying dividends for us. The fans love it. The contestants love it. We've got a huge purse for them. We're declaring victory," he ended with a laugh. ❖

How the Ancients of Mesa Verde Engineered Public Works
Navajos called them the ancient ones, the Anasazi. Monuments to their genius remain in Colorados cliffside apartment houses, terraced fields, and ruins of a sprawling, medieval road system. But there are mysteries about the Anasazias well. Among them is how they were able to get enough water to sustain a civilization on a riverless mesa with infrequent rainfall.
This full color essay by Kenneth R. Wright, a civil engineer, probes the technology behind the Anasazis success.

a SNOWBOARDER term that combines the word "Style" with "Ease" to create the act of doing a trick with style and ease to make it done with super steez. A rider with steez, such as myself, would be referred to as "steezy" whether it be because of his/her sick tricks, gangster aparrel, or watevs.

an adjective describing someone's style, especially when having to do with snowboarding. Meaning smooth, stylish, clean and cool. Can either mean someone's clothing style, or more importantly, their riding style on the hill. One always wants to ride steezy, and to tell someone that they're trick was steezy is a great compliment.

Meningococcal Disease
Has anyone here have given their child a vaccine for Meningococcal Disease? From the pamphlet I read, this is fatal when untreated and saw some scary photos of babies infected by this.
Does the vaccine covers the meningitis?
Please give some details. And insights too.
12th May 2012 12:26 AM #2
It is said that 20% of the population actually carry the meningitis bacteria in their bodies but only a very small percentage actually develop an acute case of it. The vaccine itself caries great risks.
I'd encourage you to read more about this disease and the vaccines for it and make an informed decision for your family.
Here's a page on Meningitis from the National Vaccine Information Center which is a site which has excellent information on diseases and vaccines.
And if you do choose to vaccinate your children, you'll want to be sure you know when you should and shouldn't vaccinate your child.
Warm regards,

Gov. Brown's Budget Proposal Has Alarming Consequences for Children's Health
SACRAMENTO, CA – In response to Governor Brown's release of his 2012-13 budget proposal, a coalition of leading children's health advocates in California expressed concern about the scope of proposed cuts and fundamental changes to children's health care, and fear that such a proposal could significantly jeopardize access to health care for California children.
The Governor's budget proposes a nearly 26 percent reduction in the rates paid to managed care plans that serve children enrolled in the Healthy Families Program; an expansion of managed care for children in rural counties; and the wholesale transition of all 875,000 children in Healthy Families into Medi-Cal beginning in October 2012.
"These are the most dramatic changes in children's health care since the creation of California's Healthy Families Program," said Wendy Lazarus, Founder and Co-President of The Children's Partnership. "It would be irresponsible to move forward with these proposals without assurances that children will not be harmed," she added.
Jamila Edwards, Northern California Director of Children's Defense Fund-California added, "The most significant challenge in providing health care for kids has been ensuring that children have timely access to quality care. The proposal to reduce the Healthy Families rates threatens to exacerbate problems accessing health care meaning that kids will be less likely to get the preventative care and other services that are crucial to healthy development."
"At a time when California's children and families are already struggling as a result of the economic downturn, we shouldn't be making it harder for kids to get the health care services they need to grow up healthy," said Corey Timpson, Director of PICO California. "The rates and costs of obesity, asthma and diabetes are skyrocketing and childhood is the time these diseases begin. We simply cannot afford to roll back our commitment to children's health."
Children's health advocates cautioned that substantive safeguards are necessary and a thoughtful planning process would be required before these changes take place. "Any transition of Healthy Families children into Medi-Cal must prioritize the needs of children, including implementing protections to ensure that children have adequate and timely access to quality primary and specialty care," said Ted Lempert, President of Children Now. "Without a thoughtful plan and strong safeguards, we risk making California kids worse off than they are today."
As children's health advocates, we are dedicated to working with stakeholders in Sacramento and throughout the state to ensure policymakers understand the importance of thoughtful discussions regarding the impact that the Governor's budget proposal will have on the children of California.

Land rents, prices are like a blazing camp fire
Land rents, prices are like a blazing camp fire
Ag land values have experienced an impressive run. Will it continue? Ag leaders met at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago on that very issue.
by Corey Geiger, Hoard's Dairyman Assistant Managing Editor
"Land values are currently like a well-stoked, blazing Friday night camp fire," explained Brent Gloy, director for Purdue's Center for Commercial Agriculture. "We dumped a lot of wood on the camp fire and land values are blazing hot.
"Demand for ethanol was the first pile of wood tossed onto the small fire. More wood was dumped through additional export demand from Asia. As returns continued to improve, row crops improved which provided for more cash, and that combined with low interest rates added more wood and the fire got much hotter and brighter," said the Indiana-based farm economist. "As if we didn't have enough fuel, some more wood was tossed onto the blaze in the form of crop insurance and reduced supplies from this year's drought.
"That isn't the only thing taking place," said Gloy. "Soon bankers are going to field many more calls to extend credit to finance higher land values. If they do this in substantial amounts, it will be like pouring gasoline on the fire, and you will see values and rents rise. Whether lenders do this will go a long way in determining where land values go."
What does it all mean?
"Current values are dependent upon continuation of low interest rates and high returns over a crop's variable costs," said Gloy. "It is very difficult to predict what will take us out of this current row-crop cycle. But credit can magnify the outcome either way. Keep in mind, if interest rates go above 4 percent, you will need more income to justify current land price trends," Gloy advised.
"Times in the row-crop business are very good," he continued, "it is very conceivable they could get better. It is also conceivable that they could be worse."
One thing's for sure, the glow on land prices has raised regulators eyebrows as they have the recent housing bust and the early 1980's farm crisis still ingrained in their memory banks.
"In 1951, it took 14 years of cash rent to pay for land," stated Jeffery Jensen, assistant vice president of supervision and regulation for the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. "In 2007, 33 years of cash rent was required to pay for land," cautioned Jensen. "That number is still climbing."
"Our projections indicate break-even rent for a corn-on-corn rotation would be $262 cash rent in Iowa based on $5.40 corn and a 160 bushel yield next year," said Jensen.
That's if you are looking at rents. "If you are financing a land purchase, a 1 percent upward movement in interest rates will require a 50-cent per bushel improvement in corn prices to cover the additional costs," added Leslie Miller, vice president of the Iowa State Savings Bank. "That potential scenario is causing bankers to be very cautious on loans. With escalating land prices, most lenders will only count half of land's current value as collateral for a new loan," the Iowa community banker went on to explain, recalling the 1980's land crisis.

The new model (PSP-N1000) will sell for a MSRP of $249.99 compared to the $169.99 of the older PSP-3000 model that will continue to be sold indefinitely. It has a smaller 3.8 inch screen, versus the 4.3 inches of the PSP-3000 which uses Sony's proprietary Universal Media Disc (UMD) format. The PSP Go also features built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.
The latest generation of the PlayStation Portable lineup is the first to use digital downloads from the PlayStation Store as the exclusive means to buy a game. Games and demos are downloaded to the console's 16GB internal flash memory either directly, through Sony's software on a PC, or through a PlayStation 3. Additional storage of up to 32GB is available by purchasing a Memory Stick Micro device.
Sony had announced plans for a UMD trade-in program so that PSP owners would be able to use their old games, but nixed that due to "legal and technical issues". Many gamers are thus sticking with their older PSP models instead of upgrading to the PSP Go.
The firm hopes to make the entire PSP software library available at the PSP Store, but so far there are already 225 games available for download. Some retailers are upset that they will not see any revenue from software for the PSP Go, and have decided to boycott it.
The whole point of the PSP Go is to deliver games that are more affordable in a smaller, lighter package that has greater battery life. Sony is targeting gamers who don't yet have a portable console and Nintendo DS Lite owners who are looking for better graphics. Time will tell whether Sony will be successful or not.
quote: I don't disagree with you but don't think there's 50mil consumers willing to jump on this bandwagon. And while I do like the digital downloads I'm also worry that you really don't own it.
quote: That's what they said when the UMD model was first introduced, but it sold 50mil didn't it? UMD was reviled and criticized, yet flash was simply too expensive then for PSP-size games. This is a new chapter that had to happen. UMD is NOT the future and you are not going to be able to carry UMD games over to the PSP2 any more than the PSPGo, so whether you complain now or later is immaterial to Sony. They want to get the ball rolling.If you were looking to buy your first PSP today, you would be a complete moron not to get this model. It's more portable and UMD, being a mechanical form of storage, eats battery like a mofo. A media-less PSP had to be released as soon as it was economical.If you OWN a UMD model already, you have no reason to buy the Go. We get it. Sony gets it, too. You are not the market right now. You can still play your UMD games and buy a stick to play download-only games. You have access to all games that Go buyers have access to. Sony doesn't expect you to rebuy the system and all your games, they expect you to keep using the UMD model and get a flash stick.4
