Fund Models No-Upfront Energy Efficiency Financing After Solar
Brightergy's newly-closed fund – BrighterSavings – will provide no-upfront cost financing to energy efficiency projects.
With full underwriting discretion, Brightergy plans to finance a wide variety of efficiency projects with public and private schools, municipalities, commercial businesses and non-profits.
Brightergy owns the energy-efficiency projects they install, leasing to the building owner who either pays fixed monthly payments or a percentage of the energy savings. A typical BrighterSavings lease term is 5 years.
BrighterSavings covers a wide variety of energy efficiency technologies, including high efficiency lighting. All financing for the project is first-party through Brightergy; there is no third party approval process.
One of the company's first clients to utilize this fund is John Knox Village, a continuing care retirement community in Lee's Summit, Mo. Previously, John Knox Village installed 146 kW of solar with Brightergy through Brightergy's no-upfront cost solar financing. Now, the retirement community will upgrade lighting at 15 of its existing buildings and add LED's to a 56,000-sq-foot new building.
Brightergy has built its business to date primarily through the financing, development and installation of more than 1,000 commercial rooftop solar PV projects.

Switching utility companies from the base utility company to the leasing company and giving up property rights making the property difficult to sell will never make good fiscal sense.

'The Right of the People': Reconciling Collective and Individual Interests Under the Fourth Amendment
Don L. Doernberg
Pace University - School of Law
New York University Law Review, Vol. 58, No. 2, 1983
The Court's Fourth Amendment jurisprudence contains a tension. On the one hand, the Court has conferred Fourth Amendment standing only upon those whose personal privacy interests have been disturbed. On the other hand, the Court has allowed such persons to invoke the exclusionary rule only in circumstances where, in the Court's view, it would serve as an effective deterrent to future government misconduct. This article traces those two policies to different conceptions of the Fourth Amendment: the first interprets the Amendment as a guarantor of individual rights; the second construes it as an instrument for securing a collective right. The Court, by oscillating between these two conceptions, has eroded Fourth Amendment protections more severely than it could have done under either conception standing alone. The article suggests a way of harmonizing the atomistic and collective views that leads to a new standing analysis designed to protect both aspects of the Court's dualistic conception.

A ceremony was held Friday, Oct. 22 at the Edinburg post office that was renamed for former President of The University of Texas-Pan American, Dr. Miguel A. Nevárez.
The mid-morning ceremony formally designating the Edinburg post office at 410 S. Jackson Road as the Dr. Miguel A. Nevárez Post Office Building was open to the public and attended by nearly 100 people.
Hinojosa said Nevárez's leadership has laid the foundation for the educational advancement of the fastest growing and largest minority group in the country - Hispanic Americans.
"This great American has given so much of himself to the great state of Texas, to all the people in South Texas and to our great nation. His accomplishments will long be remembered," Hinojosa said. "My heart swells with pride that the post office in Edinburg, Texas - an All-America City - now bears the name of Dr. Miguel A. Nevárez."
Mayor Pro Tem for the City of Edinburg Ricardo Rodriguez said Nevárez was a great asset to the town during his tenure at UTPA.
"Every time we needed something from the University, every time we needed his assistance and cooperation, Dr. Nevárez was there to give it to us. Without any hesitation he always opened his door to us," Rodriguez said.
Mary Martinez, manager for postal operations for South Texas, told the crowd the ceremony was honoring an individual who has given the gift of education to thousands of young people in the community.
"Naming a post office in honor of a recognized community leader is not an everyday occurrence," Martinez said. Jokingly she told the crowd, "As a matter of fact, it takes an act of Congress."
"They are the reason my name is on this wall. This year has been one of many tributes," he said. "This of course, is the greatest one of them."
Nevárez accepted the honor "in the name of every student who has struggled to get an education and in the names of students who are yet to get an education in academia. I give my sincere and heartfelt thanks for this lovely, lovely tribute."
In 1981, Dr. Nevárez was inaugurated as the sixth president of the University, making him the first Rio Grande Valley native and alumni to serve in this position.
When he became president, there were only 8,000 students and a small staff. During his 23 years at UTPA, the enrollment grew to more than 17,000 students, the faculty to more than 600 members and facilities have expanded threefold. Nevárez's 23 years of service made him the longest seated Hispanic of any four-year university or college.
The ceremony also officially swore in Edinburg native Ricardo Salaiz as Edinburg's new U.S. Postal Service Postmaster. A replica of the plaque which will grace the post office wall was unveiled at the ceremony's conclusion.

While Thiel Audio is primarily known for highly refined floorstanding speakers, John Atkinson thought it might be a good idea to give the stand-mounted Thiel PCS loudspeaker a spin. In doing so, he confirmed, once again, that wire is not wire when it comes to speaker cables. But what of the speaker? JA's conclusions may surprise a few audiophiles.
Those in the audio business know all too well the stress and strain of the annual Consumer Electronics Show. In her essay, "High-End Audio is Here to Stay!," Gigi Krop explains why it's all worth it, and why high-end audio will likely survive it all. Reader responses included!

1st Quarter 2013 Commentary - ASTON/LMCG Small Cap Growth Fund
1st Quarter 2013
Strong corporate earnings reports, positive economic news, and the strongest January rally since 1997 helped to push U.S. equities sharply higher during the first quarter of 2013. Aided by increasing evidence of a healthy recovery in housing, better than expected employment and consumer reports, and reassuring comments on interest rates from the Federal Reserve, the market carried on past poor Gross Domestic Product numbers and the March 1 sequestration deadline to close the quarter at record levels. Essentially all of the broad industry sectors participated in the rally, with particularly strong gains from Healthcare and consumer-related groups. Energy was strong as well, while Telecom and Technology stocks lagged.
Across the market-cap spectrum, small- and mid-cap U.S. stocks (as represented by the Russell indices) posted double-digit gains, and were modestly stronger than the large-cap benchmarks. Growth generally lagged value, though not among small-cap stocks, as the Fund's Russell 2000 Growth Index gained 13.2%.
The Fund slightly outperformed the benchmark during the quarter, aided by stock selection within the Consumer Discretionary, Healthcare, and Industrials sectors—three sectors that together comprise more than half the index. Office Depot and Arctic Cat were two of the key holdings in Consumer Discretionary that boosted returns, the former after the announcement of its merger with OfficeMax. The office supply category had already been trending higher on expected consolidation, and we had been trimming Office Depot (the position was entirely sold by the end of the quarter) and adding to OfficeMax in the weeks leading into the deal agreement in late February. The Fund continued to hold OfficeMax as of quarter end. Recreational vehicle maker Arctic Cat essentially reversed losses from the prior quarter, helped by increased sales of snowmobiles.
Hospital holdings were especially strong for the portfolio within Healthcare. Both Health Management Associates and Universal Health Services advanced more than 30%, and continued to be meaningful positions within the Fund. In Industrials, Triumph Group was among the portfolio's stronger stocks. Triumph is an aerospace systems manufacturer, and commercial sales growth outstripped declines on the defense side during the period. Staffing outsourcer Kelly Services, part of the professional services category within Industrials, rebounded strongly as flexible staffing firms provided a valuable service amid the ongoing choppy economy.
Technology was the Fund's weakest sector during the quarter after being one of the portfolio's strongest sectors in 2012. A number of stocks, primarily among Internet- and software-related names, that had been up meaningfully toward the end of last year were off the pace at the beginning of 2013. Liquidity Services, which operates online auction facilities for commercial and government surpluses, reported slightly slower revenue growth due to the lumpy nature of its business. Shares of AVG Technologies retreated more than 10% due to a management transition. We cut the portfolio's position back substantially as a result.
Other stock underperformers included account receivables management company Encore Capital and Volcano Corp. Medical equipment maker Volcano gave guidance on 2013 that contained further investment spending and a slight earnings drag from foreign exchange movements. We maintained positions in both of these names.
As we've outlined in the past, our strategy seeks to achieve superior returns by identifying unrecognized growth potential across all industry sectors. We seek to identify firms with high quality business models, distinct competitive advantages, proven management teams, and significant growth potential. Revenue growth, margin expansion, and the ability to positively surprise and revise estimates are key characteristics we seek in holdings for the Fund. We think our focus on the key investment drivers of each stock and the avoidance of "noise" and non-critical news items remains a hallmark to adding value in small-caps.
Andrew Morey
Lee Munder Capital Group, LLC
As of March 31, 2013, Office Depot comprised 0.00% of the portfolio's assets, Arctic Cat – 1.25%, OfficeMax – 2.35%, Health Management Associates – 4.89%, Universal Health Services – 3.57%, Triumph Group – 4.86%, Kelly Services – 1.90%, Liquidity Services – 2.37%, AVG Technologies – 0.48%, Encore Capital – 3.32%, and Volcano Corp. – 3.18%.
Note: Small-cap stocks are considered riskier than large-cap stocks due to greater potential volatility and less liquidity.

American Airlines Returns Employees to Higher Job Status
American Airlines announced today plans to return more than 60 employees to full Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) positions at its Tulsa Maintenance Base.
This will result in pay increases for all of these employees in the form of license and skill premiums. In addition to these AMTs, the company announced plans to adjust its manning to backfill their vacated positions. In total, American Airlines anticipates over one hundred employees will receive recalls or reassignments.
Carmine Romano, Vice President - Tulsa Base, noted that success at the base would not have been possible without the support of Transport Workers Union Local 514, which has been critical to the recovery process.
These recalls and reassignments are due to additional work coming into the Tulsa overhaul base. It currently is operating two Boeing 757 winglet- modification lines and plans to open two more lines, operating all four lines seven days a week. Installing winglets on aircraft increases fuel efficiency and is critical to the fuel and financial savings that American requires.
"It is wonderful to be able to announce that we are upgrading and returning people to work in Tulsa," Romano said. "With this plan, we will be able move a number of our people to better paying positions, in addition to adding more than 60 employees back to the work force in Tulsa."
Romano expressed his appreciation to all of the employees at American Airlines for their diligence and hard work over the last two years. He also expressed his thanks to the community for their continued support, especially with the Vision 2025 financial aid.
"The support of Vision 2025 provided us infrastructure to help us become competitive. These additional modification lines demonstrate the confidence that Tulsa has generated in its competitive abilities. Without the help of Vision 2025, we would not be where we are today," Romano said.

Berwick: Bigger Than Kagan
If the American people want the health-care world Dr. Berwick wishes to give them, that's their choice. But they must be given that choice.
Barack Obama's incredible "recess appointment" of Dr. Donald Berwick to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is probably the most significant domestic-policy personnel decision in a generation. It is more important to the direction of the country than Elena Kagan's nomination to the Supreme Court.
The court's decisions are subject to the tempering influence of nine competing minds. Dr. Berwick would direct an agency that has a budget bigger than the Pentagon. Decisions by the CMS shape American medicine.
Dr. Berwick's ideas on the design and purpose of the U.S. system of medicine aren't merely about "change." They would be revolutionary.
One may agree with these views or not, but for the president to tell the American people they have to simply accept this through anything so flaccid as a recess appointment is beyond outrageous. It isn't acceptable.
The Democratic chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Max Baucus, was taken aback at the end-around: "Senate confirmation of presidential appointees is an essential process prescribed by the Constitution that serves as a check on executive power."
Let's look, then, at what President Obama won't let the American electorate hear Dr. Berwick say in front of a committee of Congress. These excerpts are from past speeches and articles by Dr. Berwick:
"I cannot believe that the individual health care consumer can enforce through choice the proper configurations of a system as massive and complex as health care. That is for leaders to do."
"You cap your health care budget, and you make the political and economic choices you need to make to keep affordability within reach."
"Please don't put your faith in market forces. It's a popular idea: that Adam Smith's invisible hand would do a better job of designing care than leaders with plans can."
"Indeed, the Holy Grail of universal coverage in the United States may remain out of reach unless, through rational collective action overriding some individual self-interest, we can reduce per capita costs."
"It may therefore be necessary to set a legislative target for the growth of spending at 1.5 percentage points below currently projected increases and to grant the federal government the authority to reduce updates in Medicare fees if the target is exceeded."
"About 8% of GDP is plenty for 'best known' care."
"A progressive policy regime will control and rationalize financing—control supply."
"The unaided human mind, and the acts of the individual, cannot assure excellence. Health care is a system, and its performance is a systemic property."
"Health care is a common good—single payer, speaking and buying for the common good."
"And it's important also to make health a human right because the main health determinants are not health care but sanitation, nutrition, housing, social justice, employment, and the like."
"Hence, those working in health care delivery may be faced with situations in which it seems that the best course is to manipulate the flawed system for the benefit of a specific patient or segment of the population, rather than to work to improve the delivery of care for all. Such manipulation produces more flaws, and the downward spiral continues."
"For-profit, entrepreneurial providers of medical imaging, renal dialysis, and outpatient surgery, for example, may find their business opportunities constrained."
"One over-demanded service is prevention: annual physicals, screening tests, and other measures that supposedly help catch diseases early."
"I would place a commitment to excellence—standardization to the best-known method—above clinician autonomy as a rule for care."
"Health care has taken a century to learn how badly we need the best of Frederick Taylor [the father of scientific management]. If we can't standardize appropriate parts of our processes to absolute reliability, we cannot approach perfection."
"Young doctors and nurses should emerge from training understanding the values of standardization and the risks of too great an emphasis on individual autonomy."
"Political leaders in the Labour Government have become more enamored of the use of market forces and choice as an engine for change, rather than planned, centrally coordinated technical support."
"The U.K has people in charge of its health care—people with the clear duty and much of the authority to take on the challenge of changing the system as a whole. The U.S. does not."
There is no need to rehearse the analogies in literature and social thought that Dr. Berwick's ideas summon. That the Obama White House would try to push this past public scrutiny with a recess appointment says more about Barack Obama than it does Dr. Berwick.
Vilifying Dr. Berwick alone for his views is in a way beside the point. Within Mr. Obama's circle they all think like this. Defeat Dr. Berwick, and they will send up 50 more who would pursue the same goals.
If the American people want the world Dr. Berwick wishes to give them, that's their choice. But they must be given that choice with full, televised confirmation hearings.
Barack Obama, Donald Berwick and the rest may fancy themselves philosopher kings who know what we need without the need to inform or persuade us first. That's not how it works here. That is Sen. Baucus's point.
It should be clear why Berwick is bigger than Kagan. We need a large public debate over these views, over what Mr. Obama has said his health plan would and would not do. We need to find out if every Democrat in Congress and every Democrat writing newspaper columns and blogs agrees with Dr. Berwick about clinical and individual autonomy and about leaders with plans.
Then we need to build an election around whether we want to go down the road Dr. Berwick has planned for us, or start dismantling the one that President Obama paved through Congress on a partisan vote.

Emergency personnel take part in hazardous exercise
September 15, 2013
MARTINSBURG — About 200 emergency personnel from throughout the greater, eight-county Eastern Panhandle took part in a massive exercise Saturday to test their skills responding to a regional disaster....
Major, it's against the law for the police to come take our guns in a state of emergency. The WVCDL helped get that law passed. As for the scenario they need more realistic things. We woulda known it was coming all over the news. My scanner claimed it was a training drill with 10-15 injuries. So either the dispatch center dropped the ball or the epa or whoever came up with it. just plain out suck. I only listened to Jefferson Counties didn't know it was in several counties.

Thanks Homerland for showing the people where you spend their 1 Trillion (and counting)tax dollars. First the zombies invade Berkeley County now a fallen Russian satellite. Lets hire Jason next year and plan it for Friday the 13th. It's amazing that before 9/11, you never existed and everything was fine. Truth be told, the people of this great country will protect and defend it as they have in the past. Homerland Security - Spending the **** out of taxpayers money pretending to do something!

im a rom emulator player...
NES:few kb 30-200
SNES: few mb 1-5
Sega/Dreamcast: few mb 2-10? not sure
N64: mbs, around 10mb to 24
Yeah I was too lazy to go to my other PC and look so I overestimated them on purpose. The Dreamcast though...those games were on GDROMs they held either 1 or 1.2GB of data max so those would PROBABLY be huge although they were highly compressable. But with your sizes stated thats a few minutes at most with nes, 10 minutes with snes, and an hour possibly with n64. Not that bad...over estimated again as dial up speeds seem to range a lot.Originally Posted by wongasta
To the previous poster: Maybe your line quality sucks, modem or connection per try. WHo knows but it is possible that netzero sucks

Kilroy's is a bar that until Saturday many of you didn't know the name of.
Sure, it's the second closest bar to Busch Stadium. And sure, you've probably had a drink there before. But it wasn't a Paddy O's or Shannon's where the mere mention of its name would let people get an exact visual of where you were.
Kilroy's = place with beer; pretty close to baseball stadium. That's it. No more, no less.
Just like any small business trying to maximize profits during the baseball season and compete with their neighbors, Kilroy's erected a tent. They almost doubled the amount of people they could hold under cover. And when those pesky rain delays came and went over the summer, they'd experience a nice little uptick of people looking to drink out a shower.
Then a fucking massive thunderstorm blew the tent into the Highway 40 overpass, killed one man and injured upwards of 100 people.
The handwringing has begun.
This week St. Louis' Public Safety Director has moved to re-write evacuation policy for public tents during severe weather. LINK HERE
Read that again. The St. Louis Public Safety Director has to re-write the evacuation policy for public tents during severe weather. Why does he have to do this? Because in 2012 we can't just call a spade a spade: It's not smart to stand under a tent when a tornado siren is going off.
Kilroy's put up a tent and the tent, by all reports, met the city's regulations for being secured. Unfortunately a severe weather cell hit that particular tent, but it doesn't change the fact that not a single person under that tent should have been in that tent.
Besides, what is the enforcement here? During a tornado siren do we expect police officers to be dispatched to possible violators? Perhaps they'll stop by after the storm passes… but then aren't then people just hanging out? Maybe we can have a bunch of court cases where they bring witnesses in to testify about what times they were in the tent during severe weather and have Bree Smith sign and affidavit swearing to what exact times the storms were in the area! That'll give the underworked judicial system something productive to do…
It truly sucks that people were hurt during this storm and it really sucks that one person had to lose his life. But any new laws or lawsuits filed are frivolous and a waste of time and money.
Bad choices and bad luck contributed to a very unfortunate situation. Hopefully many people learned a lesson in taking severe weather seriously. Any action taken beyond a remembrance is too much.

77 rooms available, most for $109 to $159 per night
The pillows are fluffed, breakfast is ready and the pool is filled at Bay County's newest hotel.
The Holiday Inn Express and Suites of Bay City opened for business on Tuesday. The hotel is located off East Wilder Road, across the street from the Meijer store and near Interstate 75.
"The hotel is designed for both leisure and business travel. We have family suites, so we definitely have rooms for everybody," Eric Perala, the hotel's general manager, said Friday.
The three-story, 77-room facility employs 11 people and likely will increase that number to 20 as the business gets up and running, Perala said.
Room rental is $109 to $159 per night, depending on which of seven room configurations is selected, he said. About half of the rooms are designated as suites, with a separate sitting area or a whirlpool tub adjacent to the sleeping area.
The hotel also has one jumbo family suite of about 500 square feet that includes two queen-sized beds in the main room and a king-sized bed in a separate, attached bedroom. That suite rents for about $180 per night.
"Mom and dad get their own bedroom with a door that shuts, and the kids can be (in the next room) without wondering what is going on," Perala said.
The Holiday Inn Express and Suites is owned by Amerilodge Hospitality Group of Rochester Hills. The $5 million hotel is one of several Holiday Inn Express facilities that Amerilodge Group currently is building throughout Michigan. The hotel was financed by Chemical Bank.
Monitor Township Supervisor Gary Brandt said the hotel is a nice addition to the township.
"It's a beautiful hotel, and it's going to add quite a bit to our commercial district," Brandt said. "It's going to bring people in there - I've heard from restaurants in the area and they are very happy to see that open."
Perala said the location was chosen because of its proximity to shopping and I-75.
"We feel it's an up-and-coming area, with Meijer and Menards, and there's potential for new businesses here," he said. "We're by the freeway, but we are still close to the businesses and industry in town."
Hotel amenities include a fitness center, a pool, wireless and wired high-speed Internet, 32-inch flat-screen televisions in rooms and a free, hot breakfast for guests. Perala said the pool is not available for rent to the general public.
The hotel has luxury touches, including thick carpeting, wide hallways and high-end mattresses. The building's exterior is mostly brick, with a covered entry way.
"We didn't want to build a cheap product, because hotels aren't cheap (to stay in) these days, by any means," Perala said.
Hotel reservations can be made by calling 667-3800, or on the Web at IHC.com or hiexpress.com, he said. The hotel's street address is 3959 Traxler Court.
The hotel's construction is finished, but road and building signs identifying the facility are temporary banners until the permanent signs arrive, Perala said.
Perala, a 28-year-old Midland resident, said he has worked in hotels for 10 years before accepting the job as the Holiday Inn Express and Suites general manager.

Without this, any software processing the AttDef would have to scan all the elements and rederive an enum type. It's a real pain to model "What is the type of the attribute" as the existence of one of a set of attributes, and wouldn't fit how the attribute would be extended. However, moving <EnumerationValue>+ into a token string creates a severe problem. It's impossible to add information associated with each code value, for example documentation on the semantics for each. Also, it may be common to import enumeration values defined within an external standard, e.g. by using xml links. To correct the problem, simply add <EnumerationValue> back in, e.g. <!ELEMENT XSC:AttDef (XSC:Doc?, XSC:More?, XSC:EnumerationValue*)> Though it's not as important for AttValue to be an element, I think for improved extensibility and the ability to attach documentation, <AttValue> should be restored, with Doc? added, e.g. <!ELEMENT XSC:AttDef (XSC:Doc?, XSC:More?, XSC:EnumerationValue*, XSC:AttValue?)> <!ELEMENT XSC:AttValue Doc?> It would also be better to rename this, say to: <!ELEMENT XSC:DefaultValue Doc?> which has the possiblility of analogous use in specifying element values. (XML data has a nice feature in using common parts to describe values for attributes and elements.) It may be important to associate other information (including xml links) with the NMTOKEN used for the DefaultValue. You are almost hosed (need to pervert extentions to the AttDef) if the value is not supplied in a separate element. What happened to NotationValue? Since it's a reference within the document, it's not necessary to add documentation, but it seems better to represent a list as elements rather than space separated names in a string. You should probably use: <!ELEMENT XSC:AttDef (XSC:Doc?, XSC:More?, (XSC:NotationValue*|XSC:EnumerationValue*), XSC:AttValue?)> for <!ATTLIST XSC:NotationValue Notation IDREF #REQUIRED> I believe, the IDREF must match an ID attribute and be unique across the ID attributes in all elements in the document. That means this is not the notation Name, which isn't ID. Tbus it probably should be a NMTOKEN. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carl Hage C.

Thomas R. (Tom) Dobbins has been named director of Clemson Universitys Cooperative Extension Service.
Clemson Extension takes the university to the people through a statewide network of county offices. Extension agents share university research in agriculture, forestry and natural resources with large- and small-scale farmers, foresters and land managers in all 46 South Carolina counties.
The national Cooperative Extension Service, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is celebrating 100 years of service this year. The concept was born at Clemson when Frank Lever, a Clemson trustee and South Carolina congressman, observed faculty traveling by train to take agriculture and food safety information to farmers and families across the state.
Today Clemson Extension agents work with university research and regulatory personnel to enhance the economic impact of agribusiness, South Carolinas largest industry, which generates $34 billion and 200,000 jobs for the state.
Clemson Universitys land-grant mission is to develop and deliver science-based information that benefits the agribusiness industry in South Carolina, said George Askew, vice president for Public Service and Agriculture at Clemson. Were pleased that Tom Dobbins will be leading the Extension programs that transfer that information to people in the state.
Dobbins said he looks forward to the chance to build on Clemsons history of helping people put knowledge to work.
I appreciate the opportunity to use my experiences in Extension, teaching and research to support Clemsons Extension Service and to serve the faculty, staff and stakeholders with dedication and integrity, he said. My vision is for Clemson Extension to serve as a leading economic catalyst for South Carolina by delivering applied research information to our stakeholders.
Dobbins earned a Ph.D. in vocational-technical education from Virginia Tech, a masters degree in dairy science and a bachelors degree in agricultural education from Clemson and an associates degree in agriculture from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.
He currently serves as professor and coordinator for the undergraduate and graduate programs that prepare Clemson students to teach agriculture in high schools across the state, as well as chairman of the agriculture division in Clemsons School of Agricultural, Forest and Environmental Sciences, where he leads strategic planning for the agricultural courses taught at Clemson. He continues to teach courses in curriculum development and teaching methods.
His Extension career includes positions as a county agent, area agent and Extension associate, with a focus on building teams of scientists, economists and Extension agents to develop a comprehensive management plan for dairy farmers.
He serves as chairman of the Anderson County District 4 School board of trustees, where he led development of a student-centered budget that earned support of all the stakeholders.
He is editor of the Journal of Career and Technical Education and is a member of the American Association for Agricultural Education; the National Association of Agricultural Education; and four honor societies for education professionals.
He is married to Kathy Dobbins, principal of Robert Anderson Middle School in Anderson. They have one son, Troy Dobbins.

You see a great photo. And it is great – iconic even – tugging at your eyes with its peculiar gravity.
In that instant, you probably don't imagine the photographer fitting a roll of film into his camera, adjusting the settings, framing the shot – did he use a tripod? You probably don't think about his work in the Darkroom, how he processed the negatives, the filters on the enlarger, the countless attempts it took to get the image just right.
You don't immediately think about the person behind the lens and his process, because in a truly great image, all you see is the subject: Five Marines and a Navy Corpsman hoisting the American Flag, steelworkers taking lunch 69 stories up, Ali shouting at a defeated Sonny Liston, "Get up and fight, sucker." Great photographs speak for themselves. They broaden our experience and make it more interesting to be human.
We believe the same is true of great gear.
In the last eight years, our clan of artists/engineers/designers/hunters invented – and continue to elevate – technical clothing for mountain hunters. Then we did it for whitetail hunters. And then again for waterfowl hunters.
Back in the beginning, we started this blog called Sitka Insight to give you an inside look into what we were up to, how we were forever changing the hunting industry. We kept at it as long as we could, but your insatiable demand for gear gave us more work than we could handle, and for us, the gear always comes first. We eventually passed Insight on to our Athletes, Prostaff and Ambassadors, and with it they keep us updated with their incredible stories of the gear in the field.
But we've really missed having you behind the scenes.
So this is the Darkroom, where we'll show you who we are and how we develop the gear that changes how we hunt: hunting in every condition imaginable, identifying a problem, envisioning a solution, sketching it out, building prototype after prototype, testing both scientifically and experientially, and arriving either back at the sketching table, or hopefully – miraculously – at a piece of equipment that will serve you for many seasons to come.
Just like an iconic photo, great gear speaks for itself. You can enjoy it without looking beyond to the ingenuity, sweat, design and testing that went into it. But for those who want to peer into the murk…
Welcome to the Darkroom.
– Sitka Founder, Jonathan Hart

You are the last person that machine is targeted toward so that makes sense, Chad. I have one and a Chromebox and they are the best 'alternative' approach to a laptop/simple home computer that we have seen to date. Do I use them? No. MBP Retina, bugs and all.

Google actually listened from the first rev which wasn't really a rev as it was a reference platform build (remember all the pundits trashing it?), rev'd it twice now and have a great machine for the primary education and low end home market. Grandma wants to check email? Get her a Chromebook.ĀWalmart is where this should be selling out, IMO.

Of course, ChromeOS is built on top of Linux. ĀAnd "best selling laptop" only refers to a given specific model - not overall Windows computers or Macs... ĀAnd there are very few Chromebooks to choose from... ĀAlso Amazon is one of the few places online actually selling Chromebooks, as opposed to the number of places to get a Windows machine or a Mac. Ā

But still. ĀCan be used as some sort of "victory" for Linux, I guess. ĀJust take the "implications of this!" with a heaping spoonful of salt.

I don't even know if Linux wants to claim ChromeOS.

A few years back I remember people suing the crap out of a certain operating system provider for bundling a browser with their OS. ĀAnd now the OS is the browser? I don't like it.

The Paradox of the Exclusion of Exploitative Abuse
Bruce Lyons
University of East Anglia
December 2007
CCP Working Paper No. 08-1
Monopoly pricing is a textbook market failure that is taught in the first year of any economics course. The implied welfare loss (or 'exploitative abuse') justifies a whole range of competition policy towards cartels, mergers and regulated industries. Yet there is widespread hostility to prosecuting the same exploitative abuse in the textbook monopoly case (i.e. under Article 82EC)! This paper seeks to understand this paradox. I conclude that, while there are important problems with prosecuting Article 82 exploitation cases (because of problems relating to measurement, market dynamics, multi-sided markets and remedy issues), it is important to keep open the possibility of prosecution; for example, in the forthcoming Article 82 Guidelines.
