I published a paper a while ago, but I've been pretty busy so hadn't gotten around to figuring out the rules about posting it online. Anyway it looks like I'm allowed to host it on my personal website, so here it is!
Reading from stdin to an emacs buffer
Sometimes the way emacs utterly ignores standard unix conventions can be pretty annoying. In particular the fact that, unlike almost every other standard unix tool, you can't give it
- instead of a filename and have it read from stdin has always annoyed me (yes, I know emacs came from lisp machines not unix, but it's been used on unix machines since before I was born). So today I've final sat down and figured out how to hack around this limitation.
Using foot pedals for modifier keys in Linux
Update 2016-07-23: Updated the format of the udev rules for recent Linux distributions (in Ubuntu since at least 16.04, possibly earlier), thanks to an anonymous reader for the tip!
jshint and emacs' compile command
jshint is a helpful static code checker for finding potentially problematic code in javascript. This post explains how to run jshint from emacs and easily jump to the errors using emacs'
compile command. The setup required is not especially complex but could be mildly tricky to figure out for people new to emacs.
Tearing out the Emacs windows manager
Edit: I've created a small emacs package based on this post.
urxvt is a lightweight, platform independent unicode-compatible terminal emulator. This is probably the least interesting of the various tools I've set up for programming so I thought I'd do it first.

SULPHUR BLUFF - Jon Lilley is going to be a dad.
He just doesn't know how he'll pay for it.
The elementary school principal receives no health insurance from Sulphur Bluff Independent School District, a 266-student district in Northeast Texas. Officials say they don't have enough employees to negotiate an affordable group plan.
"It's very scary," said Lilley, 36. "You have to pray that nothing major happens."
While Lilley and his wife have bought policies on the open market that cover routine medical expenses - but not catastrophic illness - the rate will nearly double to about $11,000 a year when the baby is born.
Lilley's wife, Caroline, had good family coverage through her previous employment. But when she unexpectedly became pregnant, she quit her stressful job on her doctor's advice.
The couple now are closely watching as state lawmakers consider creating a statewide health-care plan for school employees.
Without some assistance from the state or school district, Lilley said, he will be forced to work elsewhere.
"I went to college 10 years and have three master's degrees," he said. "But somebody that's 16 years old and works at Wal-Mart has better benefits than me."
Support for a statewide health plan for school employees has surged in recent months and is expected to be a priority this legislative session.
Approval of a plan would help districts retain and recruit teachers, proponents say. The state will be short more than 40,000 teaching positions this year.
Unlike state employees, public school workers do not get any state-paid health insurance. State law requires districts to offer comparable coverage - but not necessarily comparable cost - to that which state employees receive.
About half the districts offer comparable benefits to the state plan, according to a survey by the Teacher Retirement System of Texas. But some districts offer no plan at all because there is no penalty for failing to do so.
Sulphur Bluff school Superintendent Mark Keahey said many of his 40 employees are covered through individual policies or a spouse's plan.
But some have no coverage, like Joyce Major, a Sulphur Bluff English teacher and mother of two teen-agers.
"We are living in absolute danger right now," she said. "I feel like teachers should have some kind of security. They (state legislators) want us to be professional but they don't treat us like professionals."
Kari Nolen, an uninsured special education teacher with four children under the age of 8, lamented that her children would get better health care if she were unemployed and on state aid. If an emergency arises, she'll go to a Hopkins County hospital that accepts uninsured patients, she said.
Indeed, taxpayers shoulder the burden of indigent care stemming from the lack of benefits, said Rep. Harryette Ehrhardt, D-Dallas, who filed a bill seeking full state funding for teachers insurance.
"This really is a crisis in teacher availability in the state," she said. "No business would treat their employees this way. It's like saying we don't really care about you."
The issue impacts districts large and small, urban and rural, she said.
In Dallas, health insurance premiums surged this year after district administrators failed to negotiate a new contract in time. But like many workers in the private sector, school employees likely would have experienced a sharp jump anyway, officials say.
Teachers have threatened sickouts in protest of the new rates, which surged as much as $303 a month more for family coverage.
"Some teachers don't even take insurance," said Maureen Peters, executive vice president of the Alliance of Dallas Educators union. "They just call themselves Parkland patients," she said, referring to the indigent care hospital in Dallas.
Fort Worth custodian Robbie Walker was among about 750 teachers and school employees who rallied for state-paid health benefits at the Capitol last week, waving signs and chanting, "Health care that's fair now!"
He said many school workers are paying $1,000 or more a month for family health coverage. One bus driver's pay stub showed she brought home $91 for two weeks after paying taxes and benefits.
Lawmakers have filed about a dozen bills to provide some kind of plan using various sources of funding, including stock gains from the public schools trust fund. Because full state funding, more than $3 billion annually, is unlikely, legislators are apt to consider a cost-sharing plan with districts.
Teacher groups want a plan similar to that offered to state employees, not just in coverage but in cost. The state pays the cost of the employee's insurance and half of that for dependents.
Policies provided by local school districts vary - there are more than 2,600 different plans - and rising costs have negated much of the $3,000 pay raise teachers got last session. The average teacher earns $38,377 a year, $3,000 below the national average.
The result is that many educators leave the state or seek jobs in the private sector, said Rep. Ignacio Salinas Jr., D-San Diego, who also is president of the Texas State Teachers Association.
"Teachers, like other professionals, must have access to affordable health care for themselves and their families or they will seek employment in other fields," he said.

My Other Little Girl, ViviCody
Sitting at my desk reviewing a probable cause affidavit in preparation of meeting with a first time client, I heard a short knock on the door followed by the door bursting open before I even had a chance to respond to the knock. I knew such a knock followed by an immediate opening of the door could only be one of two people—my exuberant daughter, Addie, or the firm's bookkeeper. Given that it was in the morning, far too early for a visit from Addie and her mother, my wife, I fully expected to look up and see the firm's bookkeeper. Despite my expectations, in rushed Addie, her hair in full bounce, as she shouted, "hey dad, watcha doin?" Addie assumed her seat that was located across the desk from me and proceeded to watch me work. I continued to review the probable cause affidavit as I waited for my wife to come into my office. Several minutes passed by without any sign of my wife. I knew what the next words out of Addie's mouth would be, and sure enough, Addie shouted, "Dad, can I go hang out with Lisa in her office?" I said "no" and, for the first time, wondered if my wife had just pulled a drive by Addie-ing.
Several minutes later I heard my wife enter my office. I barely had the opportunity to look up from my desk when my wife threw what looked to be a magic marker across the surface of my desk towards me. I picked up the object and wondered why my wife was giving me a magic marker. Confused, I took a closer look at the object and realized I was holding a fancy pregnancy test stick. Without any hesitation, I read the words and immediately and prominently uttered a word that I would regret and pay for over the next several months—I said, "no." Someday I will explain why I said no, but that was the beginning of what would change our little family for the better.
Eight or so months later my wife gave birth to my second daughter, Vivi, who is also known as, Vivienne, the Vivster, the Vivonator, the Veevee Baby, Bubs-be, Buby and Mozzi. Here is some additional information, complete with pictures, about the Vivster:
The Magic Marker Test Stick 1 of 11After not having the opportunity to be heavily involved with my wife's first pregnancy, my wife ensured that I had every opportunity to be fully involved with her second pregnancy.
Vivi and Casey Shortly After Delivery 2 of 11Vivi was born in the morning after my wife experienced hallucinations about bunny fur.
Vivi 3 of 11Vivi was noticeably bigger at birth than Addie was at birth.
Me Holding Vivi Shortly After Delivery 4 of 11I was again determined to be the first person to get to touch Vivi, but, unfortunately, the doctor unknowingly stole that moment from me.
Vivi 5 of 11It was during Vivi's birth that I realized that the birth of a father's child will always be one of the top five moments of that father's life.
Me Taking a Nap with Vivi the Day we Found out About her Medical Issues 6 of 11Vivi was born with an immature digestive system and jaundice, all of which caused my wife and I some of the scariest moments of our lives.
Addie, Vivi and Me 7 of 11VIvi has loved physical activity from the first day of life, which was fairly evident as we watched her roll over while on the heat lamp table moments after birth.
Vivi at her Last Checkup 8 of 11Vivi is a very large yet proportioned baby for her age.
Excited Vivi 9 of 11Vivi loves to listen to the Black Keys and will express her happiness when a Black Keys song is played by bouncing up and down and clapping.
Vivi's Mischievous Face 10 of 11As a baby and toddler, Addie would spend hours lining up her toys and making sure nothing was out of order. Vivi, on the other hand, lives to throw things out of order. She loves to empty baskets, destroy block towers, unfold laundry and play with pretty much anything she is not allowed to play with. She is the most mischievous baby I have ever been around.
Vivi and Me Watching Football 11 of 11Bonus information—on Sunday afternoons during football season, Vivi and I would watch NFL Redzone for several hours while my wife made dinner and worked. And by "watch," I mean I would mostly listen to NFL Redzone and occasionally glance at the TV while I played with Vivi and her toys. Even though I love being able to sit back and watch football uninterrupted for hours, I would not trade my time with Vivi for any amount of football (with an exception for Utah football games of course).

Yahoo! How are links gathered for the Yahoo! database?
Most sites in Yahoo! are suggested by users. Sites are placed in categories by Yahoo! Surfers, who visit and evaluate all suggestions and decide where they best belong. This is done to ensure that Yahoo! is organized in the best possible way, making the directory easy to use, intuitive, helpful, and fair to everyone.
Yahoo! Is the Yahoo! database really built by people?
It is indeed. All suggested sites are visited and evaluated by Yahoo! Surfers who decide where the sites best belong. This ensures that Yahoo! is organized in the best possible way, making the directory easy to use, intuitive, helpful, and fair to everyone.
Yahoo! What should I do if I click on a link and get 'Permission Denied', or 'File not found'?
When you follow a link and you get errors, there may be several reasons. First, the site may be busy or temporarily down. This happens a lot especially on overloaded sites such as ftp.netcom.com. It may be that the site is denying people access. In which case, if you really want access, please write email to the site authors (usually webmaster@sitename). Of course it may be that the link no longer exists.
If you think that a link no longer exists, please inform us and we'll remove it from our directory.
Yahoo! How are search results ordered?
Yahoo! search scans three main areas: Yahoo! categories, web sites listed in Yahoo!, and web pages indexed by Alta Vista. For the first two of these, Yahoo! searches for matches in its database and then ranks the results in order of most relevant to least relevant. Some of the factors that affect relevancy are: the number of search words matched (the more words matched, the higher the rank); exact word matches (these are ranked higher than approximate matches); and where in an entry the search words were found (a match in the title of a site is ranked higher than a match in the comments or the URL).


text: Alice Los Angeles, California 9/8/2012 12:56:40 AM I have small breed dogs and I would never spay/neuter them before the age of 2. They don't reach their full size until 8 to 9 months of age, and then they start to body-up until about 2 years of age. Why put a halt to that process? Disrupting their growth cycle by cutting of their hormones is just wrong. What's wrong with you people? Of course, the dog owner must be responsible and not allow their dog(s) to breed indiscriminately. All of mine have been s/n with the exception of a 5 year old female who will likely be spayed this year. Her mother, a show champion, was spayed at 7 when she developed pyo, emergency surgery. As I don't plan to breed my last intact girl, spaying at 5 is something I'm ok with.Folks -- do NOT spay/neuter before at least 1 year, unless you know you're not responsible enough to keep an eye on your dog so an unwanted breeding doesn't occur.

The Chesapeake Bay watershed is home to nearly 17 million residents and covers more than 64,000 square miles. It is the largest estuary in the United States and is critical to the region's economy, culture, and outdoor recreation. Fourteen percent of West Virginia drains into the Potomac, Shenandoah, and James Rivers, which flow on to the Chesapeake Bay.
The Chesapeake Bay drainage area in West Virginia includes Berkeley, Grant, Hampshire, Hardy, Jefferson, Mineral, Morgan, Pendleton, and small portions of Preston, Tucker and Monroe counties.
Sometime ago, the Environmental Protection Agency made a determination that the Chesapeake Bay was an impaired body of water under the Clean Water Act due to high levels of nutrients in discharges entering the bay from several states, including West Virginia.
The high nutrient levels, mainly consisting of nitrogen and phosphorous, were bringing down the levels of dissolved oxygen and consequently, aquatic life was suffering.
In order to deal with the pollution, the EPA has imposed stringent nutrient standards on the discharges coming from the states. The standards are different based on how far away the states are from the bay. To meet the standards, West Virginia has to employ very expensive wastewater treatment technology to reduce the levels of nutrient discharges.
This presented myself and other lawmakers with a significant problem. We had to work to meet these standards but we were faced with an incredible cost to do so. Passing these costs on to the consumer in full was simply not an option so we crafted the Chesapeake Bay Bill, which will be introduced in the Senate soon.
This bill establishes a funding program for the West Virginia wastewater treatment facilities that discharge into the bay. The bill authorizes the West Virginia Water Development Authority to issue $180 million in bonds to fund the program. In order to pay the annual debt service on the bonds, the bill increases the annual distribution from the excess lottery revenue fund to the infrastructure fund from $40 million to $46 million.
The remaining funds needed to pay the debt service would come from rates paid by the customers of the West Virginia wastewater facilities that drain into the watershed.
The bill also authorizes the WDA to require governmental agencies to consolidate new or existing water development projects. Larger facilities provide better treatment and service while lowering operating costs and customer rates.

Please feel free to contact me on this or any other issue. You may leave a message by phone at 304-357-7973, or by mail at Sen. Clark Barnes, West Wing Room 203, State Capitol Building, Charleston, West Virginia 25305.

The Economics of Third-Party Financed Litigation
Keith N. Hylton
Boston University - School of Law
December 12, 2011
Boston Univ. School of Law, Law and Economics Research Paper No. 11-57
This paper examines the law and economics of third-party financed litigation. I explore the conditions under which a system of third-party financiers and litigators can enhance social welfare, and the conditions under which it is likely to reduce social welfare. Among the applications I consider are the sale of legal rights (such as contingent tort claims) to insurers, to patent trolls, and to financiers generally.

Does your husband contribute to the housework?
My husband thinks my life is easy... He works full time, unloads the dishwasher...when I ask, and, thankfully does his own laundry... I even go to the dump!
How does your hubby contribute??
HA! The words husband and housework don't join each other in a sentence in this house...EVER! LOL
He absolutely does. He will do his own laundry and mine too. He does a lot of the cooking, vacuums and likes to load the dishwasher. We share the housework. Perhaps it is because he lived on his own for so long but he is extremely self sufficient and is a better cook than me. Frankly, I am not much of a cook. I have always been blessed with a husband and a mom in law who both love to cook.
My first husband didn't do anthing at all. He acted much like a helpless creature which is perhaps one of the reasons he is my exhusband.
My husband does ZERO housework,I spoiled him! He does do a lot of the outdoor work though and when the kids were little he would bathe them and read to them at night.
He does a little. Mainly he contributes by helping with Myles in the evenings! I seldom have to feed him dinner or get him ready for bed.
He's a big help, I don't expect him to help though because I am a SAHM..But he helps, he'll do everything including cook, but the one things he won't do is the dishes...lol..

By Christine Flowers
I once knew someone, many years ago, who was sent to a "rest home" by her aggravated husband.
Today, you and I would call that "involuntary commitment," and the fellow was able to do it with relative ease because he was an important person, knew the right people, and the laws were on his side. This was a time, the 1970s, when a woman couldn't even be raped by her husband in a number of states and teenagers could be "grounded" all the way to the psychiatric hospital. It was a time when horrific places like Pennhurst were still operating, and anyone who grew up in the Philadelphia area knows what I'm talking about. More dungeon of horrors than medical facility, Dante himself couldn't have conjured up something as infernal as this "hospital" where the patients were chained to their beds and starved for days on end.
All of this is to show that I am not insensitive to the plight of the mentally ill. I have had people in my own circle who have dealt with the problem, a serious and heartbreaking one. Until recently, the laws were weighted far too heavily against the afflicted. You'll forgive the pun, but a mere generation ago the general rule seemed to be "out of mind, out of sight." It was preferable to hide the people with invisible yet debilitating wounds instead of treating them compassionately.
But as with most things, the corrective pendulum has swung too far in the opposite direction. With the ACLU at the head of the charge, civil rights activists have caused a sea change in the way that we deal with the mentally ill. Too often, while understandably focusing on the rights and needs of the patients, we ignore the people who live with and love them. We lose sight of the pain and damage an unbalanced person can cause in the lives of his family and friends. Yes, we've abandoned as archaic laws that used to allow involuntary commitment for subjective reasons, and once-accepted practices like lobotomy and electro-shock therapies would now be barred by the International Convention Against Torture.
These are good things.
Civil rights and safety
What is not good, however, is the fact that civil rights now trump public safety when it comes to those who are potentially violent. It is ridiculous to have to wait until someone actually commits a crime before minimizing the chances that they will be able to wreak mayhem, as Adam Lanza did on a cold December morning in Connecticut.
Of course, that doesn't sit well with the activists. In a recent column on Newtown I criticized the ACLU for their campaign on behalf of the "fabricated right to be a public danger." Not surprisingly, the civil libertarians came out in full force, attacking my insensitivity to the "rights of the disabled." One acquaintance sent me an email that dripped with sarcasm and naivete when she wrote, "Really? You think the ACLU invented the rights of the disabled? … I often disagree with your positions, as you know, but this was a purely gratuitous slam at the ACLU, which I think disgusting from any quarter, but more so from a person who claims to be thoughtful."
Personally, what I find much more disgusting than any "gratuitous slam" at an organization that prides itself on addressing "rights" is the way that the ACLU and other such groups set up obstacles to families desperate for a way to help their diseased and troubled loved ones. The ACLU is impervious to their rights, and it is quite possible that Nancy Lanza ran into one of those obstacles in Connecticut. The ACLU chapter in that state actively opposed a law which would have made it easier for Connecticut to institutionalize or even treat on an outpatient basis a mentally ill patient if it had enough evidence to believe that the person was dangerous.
Patients' privacy rights
The ACLU said that the bill would "infringe on patients' privacy rights." And so, it went down to defeat months before Adam Lanza went on his rampage.
This is not to say that we need to return to the days of Pennhurst. It is not a call for mass institutionalization of the quirky-but-harmless. As a noted psychiatrist wrote in the New York Times this week, the vast majority of the mentally ill are not dangerous, although they are disproportionately represented among those who commit violent crimes.
This is simply a plea to recognize how far the pendulum has swung in favor of those who think that murdered kindergartners is a fair price to pay for personal liberty.

Three bear cubs captured and released in Stateline
Ryan Summerlin July 30, 2014
Three black bear cubs were captured, processed for identification and released Wednesday near Kingsbury Grade.
The bear cubs, a female and two males estimated to be five months old, were trapped, tranquilized and processed by Nevada Department of Wildlife Biologist Carl Lackey.
The mother was never more than 40 yards away while the cubs were being examined. Processing includes the attachment of identifying ear tags and a microchip, a tattoo on the bear's inner lip and collection of a hair sample for DNA.
The cubs weighed between 15 and 22 pounds and reunited with their mother after being released. The mother is estimated to be about 19 years old and has had at least three litters and 10 cubs since she was first captured in 2004.
"Besides tagging the female in 2004, we have now tagged the 10 cubs she has had since," Lackey said in a press statement. "She and her offspring have provided a lot of information to our ongoing research on Nevada's black bear population."
Nevada Department of Wildlife has trapped, processed and released nine black bears since July 1. "We are doing our best to keep these bears alive and wild. The information we derive from this ongoing research helps do that," Lackey said.
"To keep bears like this alive and wild, people throughout the Tahoe Basin need to do a much better job of keeping trash away from these bears. Human sources of food are bad news for bears. We do not need another generation of garbage bears at Lake Tahoe or anywhere else."
July is Bear Logic Month in Nevada. State wildlife officials are asking people to do everything they can to keep bears safe and wild by removing any attractants on their property that might cause bears to get into trouble.

Research in Dr. Knaus' laboratory is focused on developing educational assessment materials in chemistry. Educational assessment is a broad field of study that involves the measurement of learning. The nature of educational assessment has become increasingly more important as teachers are being asked to defend the teaching and learning that takes place in their classrooms. Assessment research studies in Dr. Knaus' laboratory involve using a strong theoretical basis to support the design of experiments and interpretation of results.
Investigating the complexity of general chemistry learning contentChemistry is considered by many to be a complex domain of learning. Perception plays an important role in the learning process. Whether perceptions are related to understanding particular concepts or the difficulty and mental effort invested in solving tasks, perceptions are an important part of the learning process that should not be ignored. This project explores how students' perceptions of the complexity of learning content contribute to learning and performance in first year college chemistry. Creation of novel assessment materials, survey instruments, and cognitive interviewing techniques are important components of this project.

Developing assessment tools that examine expertise in chemistry
What makes a person an "expert" in a particular area of learning (such as organic synthesis or teaching high school chemistry)? Some studies indicate that expertise is achieved through 10 or more years of deliberate practice. This project is aimed at understanding how "experts" vs. "novices" organize their knowledge in particular chemistry content areas. The design of novel assessment tools that allow us to probe knowledge organization is the basis for this work.

Investigating the learning of chemistry through creative activities
How do we get students excited about learning chemistry?
Creative inspiration can be a powerful tool for learning. If you visit You Tube Broadcast Yourself™ (www.youtube.com), you will find a variety of homemade student chemistry videos. In this project, the measurement of learning of chemistry that is achieved through creative activities is the focus. What kind of creative outlets can you imagine that could potentially motivate and enhance the learning of chemistry? Can we quantify the learning of chemistry through these activities? How do creative activities change students' perceptions of chemistry?

I just caught up with Kevin Matthews of WLAV-FM (96.9), who was in the studio wrapping up an on-air shift with midday guy Rob Brandt and getting ready for his afternoon shift with Tony Gates (2-7 p.m.). The topic of the day: Detroit Tigers.
"I'm just here waiting for tonight's game. It's brutal," he said.
As you may have heard, Matthews has vowed to remain on the air until our beloved, World Series-bound -- yes, I said World Series-bound -- Detroit Tigers right the ship and begin winning again. Who would have ever imagined an 0-7 start to a season filled with so many expectations?
"I think everybody's in shock, they can't believe it," Matthews said. "I don't think the Tigers can believe it."
The Tigers pre-game begins at 6:45 p.m. tonight on WLAV, and Matthews plans to sit in the studio, watching the game on TV and listening to the audio feed. He'll chime in every once in a while.
"We will break in, but nothing like yesterday," said Matthews, who on Tuesday remained on WLAV during the Tigers afternoon game against the Boston Red Sox and talked quite a bit because the game aired on sister station WBBL-AM (1340).
"LAV is carrying the game tonight and tomorrow, so it won't be like yesterday because it's a game and there are so many Tiger fans out there."
As was reported in today's Press, Matthews said he and his wife Deb have a big romantic weekend planned, a weekend his wife has planned for "about a year."
"They got to win tonight or I'm dead, my wife's going to kill me," he said. "She doesn't even know I'm doing this; I'll tell her when I have to, I guess."
We'll check in with Kevin tonight after the ball game.

NABCEP Releases Entry Level
Solar Thermal Learning Objectives
Clifton Park, NY, January 17, 2011 – The North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) is pleased to announce the release of Learning Objectives and an exam blueprint for its new Solar Thermal Entry Level Knowledge Assessment program. The Learning Objectives, which were developed by a volunteer committee of Solar Thermal Industry practitioners and educators, are focused on ensuring that students will be able to demonstrate fundamental Solar Thermal knowledge. The knowledge assessment that is being developed by NABCEP according to the newly published blueprint will test students on their ability to solve generic, basic problems applicable to commonly installed Solar Thermal (ST) systems in North America.
Bill Guiney, Chairperson of the Technical Committee that developed these Learning Objectives and long-time participant in the Solar Thermal Industry says, "We are excited to release this document because it will assist renewable energy educators in developing curriculum for entry level Solar Thermal programs. These programs are critical to supplying new workers for our industry, which is experiencing record growth rates."
Ezra Auerbach, NABCEP's Executive Director says, "On behalf of the entire Board I want to thank the volunteers who developed these Learning Objectives. Their task was daunting; we asked them to distil a large and extensive body of knowledge into six major topic areas (domains). They worked long and hard to accomplish the task." The six topic areas covered by the new Learning Objectives are: Conducting a site analysis; Indentifying ST safety practices, standards, codes and certification(s); Indentifying systems for specific climates and applications; Identifying proper operation and installation methods; Identifying proper use of balance-of-system components and materials; and Indentifying common ST maintenance items.
NABCEP expects the first round of examinations based on the Learning Objectives to be available in the late spring of 2011. Educators and others interested in seeing the full set of Learning Objectives are invited to visit NABCEP's website at www.nabcep.org.
About NABCEP: The North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) is the most respected, well established, and widely recognized national certification organization for professional installers in the field of renewable energy. NABCEP is a volunteer board of representatives who are chosen based on their experience and involvement in the solar energy industry. NABCEP's mission is to develop and implement quality credentialing and certification programs for practitioners by supporting and working closely with professionals and stakeholders in the renewable energy and energy efficiency industries.

Hopefully the Mayans were wrong about the world ending on December 21, because Shorts Brewing Company (SBC) in Bellaire, Mich., has released its 2013 brewing schedule, and I want to be around to try some of these tasty libations! The SBC brew staff claims that: "With hundreds of beers in our portfolio, one of our most difficult tasks is figuring out which ones to put on the production schedule."
SBC has two brewing systems, a seven-barrel at the Bellaire Pub on which they brew for the pub's 20 taps, allowing them "…a unique opportunity to provide our patrons with tried and true favorites alongside new experimental brews." They also have a 30-barrel production facility in Elk Rapids, Mich., where they brew the beers that are released in bottles and kegs.
Since there is such a significant difference between producing seven or 30 barrels, there are a lot of factors to consider when deciding which beer to brew at which facility. SBC considers "…whether the brew was a hit with our patrons, whether it will provide something unique for Michigan craft beer drinkers, whether the beer created buzz at festivals and tap takeovers around the state, whether we personally enjoyed drinking the beer and would like to drink it after work, and whether the product would survive the trip from our brewery to your taste buds and still taste great."
SBC wants to remind you: "If you don't see your favorite Short's Brew on the 2013 schedule, it simply means that we wanted to mix things up. We are interested in using our extra capacity not to take our flagships into other states, but to bring more interesting and unique brews to our loyal customers here."
2013 is going to be a good year to be in Michigan with SBC releases like Hopstache, Beard of Zeus, Dan's Pink Skirt, Rye Not?, Goodnight Bodacious, Cerveza de Julie, Village Reserve and Evil Urges. For a complete release schedule checkout the SBC blog.
Kirby Bennett's love of craft beer started in 2002 when she was living in Amsterdam and discovered an amazing bottleshop called De Bierkoning. A long ways now from sipping La Trappe on the canals, she is currently the Craft Beer Program intern for the Brewers Association. She is a Cicerone® Certified Beer Server, holds a BA in English, dabbles in homebrewing, and makes a mean quinoa salad. She hopes to continue her career somewhere in the distribution world, then someday open a sustainable beer bar in whatever city she decides to settle in!

The Marineland Maxi-Jet 1200 is a multi-function water pump and power head that can serve as a power head, a Laminar flow, or a circulation pump. More>>
Cobalt is a relatively new company in the aquatics industry, and the Cobalt Submersible Pump and Powerhead is one line of products that this company offers.
The Claims
Cobalt Aquatics claims that the Cobalt Submersible Pump and Powerhead is an efficient, simple way to move water around in an aquarium.
The Test
The Cobalt Submersible Pump and Powerhead is a well-established technology. To test it, I simply installed it in a 120-gallon marine tank and ran it as one of four water movement devices I have on two wavemaker setups. More>>
The Claims
AquaticLife claims that its new pumps are designed for use in a sump and that the intake, power cord placement and output pipe make it easier to use in that application.
The Tests
I tested two of the new AquaticLife pumps in two applications, with 976 gph at zero head and 710 gph at 6 feet of head (meaning that the pump has the capacity to pump the water 6 feet up). More>>

Meh... it's alright but has no replay value and it's a tad bit more than a hacknslash in my opinion. (also it thiefs from star wars, and GTA) odd combo....
Maybe the second one will be better. I'd play it, or rather I will when it's released. (Maybe they thiefed from Transformers now?)

NBA Games
Miami Heat at Chicago Bulls
Miami went into the All-Star break with a seven game win streak, and playing the best basketball they have all season. James is scoring with unbelievable efficiency, and Wade and Bosh haven't been too far behind. The Bulls limped into the break, losing five of their last seven, and looking really run down. They have a stellar defense, but if the Heat play like they have been, it won't matter.

2 guns found at hospital shooting suspect's home
PHILADELPHIA -- Authorities found two more guns at the home of a man suspected of fatally shooting his caseworker and grazing his psychiatrist in suburban Philadelphia before the doctor pulled out his own weapon and fired back.
The weapons and a computer were seized from Richard Plotts' home in Clifton Heights, Delaware County District Attorney Jack Whelan said Saturday.
Authorities plan to arraign Plotts on a murder charge after he awakens at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where he underwent surgery late Thursday. He is sedated and under guard.
Plotts, 49, was at Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital for an appointment earlier Thursday when he began ranting about its gun ban and then drew a gun from his waistband and shot his caseworker, 53-year-old Theresa Hunt, psychiatrist Lee Silverman told police.
Silverman crouched behind a chair, pulled out his own weapon and fired back, striking Plotts several times, authorities said.
Plotts had 39 unspent bullets on him when he was wrestled to the ground, police said. Two guns were also found at the scene, including a revolver that police say Plotts used to kill Hunt.
"If the doctor did not have a firearm, (and) the doctor did not utilize the firearm, he'd be dead today, and I believe that other people in that facility would also be dead," Whelan said.
Police in Upper Darby, where Plotts once lived, were aware of at least three mental health commitments, including once after he cut his wrists and once when he threatened suicide. Whelan said Plotts had spent time in a mental health facility, but he did not discuss any potential diagnosis.
Plotts's record also includes past assault, drug and gun charges, including one of possessing a weapon when banned from doing so, according to police and court records. And he has been barred from at least one residential shelter because of his violent history, Upper Darby police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said.
"The caseworkers and the doctors and the catchment centers -- they know who violent individuals are because they're frequent fliers," Chitwood said. "And the system is not geared toward keeping these people housed somewhere until they start to be better."
Plotts was expected to be charged with first-degree murder in Hunt's death, along with other charges in the shots fired at Silverman, who was struck in the thumb and grazed in the temple.
The psychiatrist has not spoken publicly.

"I rebelliously bought this bunny that ended up being the love of my life," said Nancy Laracy. The story of Bunny Boy is as simple and as complicated as that, and it begins during what Laracy called a magical snowstorm in January 2001, when she and her two children stopped at a pet store to buy food for her son's bearded dragon.
The store had a litter of red Satin rabbits, and her daughter asked for one for her birthday. The family had never owned a furry pet because Laracy's husband, Ward, is allergic to dogs and cats. She was feeling rebellious because her husband didn't want them to have another child due to concerns about her health. Because of her lupus and fibromyalgia, his concerns were understandable; but that didn't stop her from making an impulse purchase of what they were told was a female rabbit, which her children named Fluffet. After his initial surprise, Ward Laracy quickly fell under the spell of Fluffet — and fortunately wasn't allergic to rabbits.

Pete the Cat has been a cool cat fixture in children's literature for a couple of years now. He first appeared on the picturebook scene in 2010 with Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes, followed by Pete the Cat: Rocking in My School Shoes in 2011. Each story features Pete singing a little ditty, which you can listen to and download for free through the publisher's website. (You can also watch a short video of each Pete the Cat through the website, too.)
In 2012, Pete managed to save Christmas -- and sing about his four groovy buttons. And 2013 has already proved to be an impressive year for Pete as he launches a beginner reader series and earns a Geisel Honor Award. Pete was charming as Santa's substitute, but it was Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons that earned kudos from the Association for Library Services to Children, which cited it as one of three Honor Books for the 2013 Geisel Award. Named for the great Dr. Seuss (Theodore Geisel), the Geisel Award is presented annually to the author(s) and illustrator(s) of the most distinguished American book for beginning readers published in English in the United States.
Up, Tall and High! a cleverly designed lift-the-flap book was the 2013 Geisel Award winner. This humorous story, with limited text and an interactive format will certainly appeal to beginning readers. And the other Geisel Honor books are both delightful. But while Pete The Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons is notable for its accessible vocabulary, repetition of phrase, and rhymes which serve beginner readers so well -- it also did an outstanding job of incorporating simple math into the story. As (spoiler alert!) Pete's buttons pop off his favorite shirt one by one, large numbers appear at the bottom of the page, showing that 4-1=3. And later, 3-1=2, and so on...
My newly 5-year old daughter and I had great fun with this story talking about numbers and math, as well as the definition of groovy. And giggles abounded as we discovered that in the end, Pete is left with one button after all. Can you guess what type of button he still had?
With a wry wit honed as an Emmy Award winning writer and animator for Sesame Street, author and illustrator Mo Willems broke into the world of Children's Literature in a big way in 2003 with a bus obsessed pigeon. The following year he endeared himself to children and parents alike with his spot on depiction of a distraught toddler who has lost her stuffed animal in the picturebook Knuffle Bunny, which also earned Willems his second Caldecott Honor medal from the American Library Association (ALA).
But it was Willems' Elephant and Piggie books for early readers that secured his renown as "the Dr. Seuss of this generation." In fact, his first Elephant and Piggie book: There is a Bird on Your Head! received the 2008 Geisel Award Medal, which the ALA gives to the author(s) and illustrator(s) of the most distinguished American book for beginning readers published in English in the United States during the preceding year. The winners are recognized especially for their ability to creatively and imaginatively engage children in reading. Willems won the Geisel Award again in 2009 for his second Elephant and Piggie book: Are You Ready to Play Outside? He received the Geisel Honor Award in 2011 and 2012 for the Elephant and Piggie stories: We Are in a Book! and I Broke My Trunk.
If you haven't yet introduced your beginner reader to an Elephant and Piggie story -- there are now 17 to choose from -- each one as delightful as the next, all featuring large type and short sentences that manage to convey the charming friendship Elephant and Piggie share. (If Willems is this generation's Dr. Seuss, Elephant and Piggie are this generation's Frog and Toad -- good friends who appear in the beginner reader stories by Arnold Lobel.)
Whether you are a brand new or longtime fan of Elephant and Piggie, you are sure to enjoy meeting them this Friday, April 13 at 4:30 pm when we will be sharing some of their stories, a short film, and a craft celebrating their adventures together. Call us at 349-3100, or register online to reserve a seat. And stop by the reference desk between 2:30 and 4 pm Friday afternoon to try out the "Don't Let the Pigeon Run this App" activity we have on our iPads. In the meantime, you can create a dance for Elephant and Piggie at The Pigeon Presents website, or visit Mo Willems' website to find more fun and games!
I find it hard to pick a favorite Dr. Seuss story... I enjoy both the early reader chapter books and the longer stories that I remember my parents reading to me as a child: Bartholomew and the Oobleck, Yertle the Turtle, and even What Was I Scared Of? (probably because those pale green pants were a little creepy). But on a cold, cold wet day like today, I'd have to say that my favorite Dr. Seuss story is The Cat in the Hat, Seuss's first book for beginner readers.
What's your favorite Dr. Seuss story? Let us know. And share it with a friend to help celebrate Read Across America Day on March 2. This is Dr. Seuss's (Theodor Geisel's) birthday, and a day that the National Education Association honors by calling for every child to be reading in the company of a caring adult. We'll be celebrating on Saturday, March 5th with some Seusspicious events. Join us!

Don't take down those St. Patrick's Day shamrocks yet. They might be the only verdant things around Williamsport for a good while.
Budding green things will have 4 to 6 inches of snow to pop through after today, according to the National Weather Service.
A winter storm warning for the region will be in place from 8 a.m. today through 8 a.m. Tuesday.

RASHELLE CAREY/Sun-Gazette
Flowers begin to unfurl Sunday afternoon at the M&T Bank building on Broad Street in Montoursville.
"We'll have snow developing in the morning and continuing into the afternoon," said Craig Evanego, a meteorologist at the weather service's State College bureau. "Eventually we should see things change over to a bit of sleet or freezing rain."
Any changeover will take place late today, with precipitation expected to taper off by Tuesday morning, Evanego said.
"We'll be flirting with the freezing mark, so it could become freezing rain, a wintry mix or just plain rain," Evanego said. "It'll be a little milder with highs up into the mid-40s Tuesday, and it looks quieter after that."
On Wednesday and Thursday, expect to see the sun sometimes through the clouds, with temperatures in the mid-30s.
"It should be partly sunny and in the upper-30s again on Friday," Evanego said. "Right now the weekend looks partly sunny as well with highs into the low-40s."
Temperatures this week are "well below normal," Evanego said. Lycoming County usually has high temperatures in the high 40s at this time of year.
Through the month's end on Easter Sunday, the weather service's Climate Prediction Center is "keeping it on the cool side," Evanego said. "It looks like we'll remain below normal temperature-wise right on through the end of March."

Why did the Antifederalists dislike the new Constitution?
2 Answers | Add Yours
The Antifederalists disliked the new Constitution because they feared that it was making a federal government that would have too much power. They felt this both because of what the Constitution did and because of what it did not do.
The Antifederalists felt that the federal government set up by the Constitution was too strong relative to the state governments. Under the Articles of Confederation, the national government had had very few powers. It could not, for example, impose taxes on the people. It had no executive or judiciary. The Antifederalists liked this situation and did not want to move to one in which the federal government had more power than the states did.
The Antifederalists also felt that there was nothing in the Constitution to protect the people from the federal government. There were no specific guarantees that the federal government would not take away the rights of the people. The Constitution, as first written, had none of the protections that were later added in the Bill of Rights.
For these reasons, the Antifederalists felt the Constitution gave too much power to the federal government.

Funding is critical for rain and stream gauges
These gauges are located in the Susquehanna River Basin, in the Finger Lakes and the Southern Tier, where Marcellus drilling, if allowed in New York, is most likely to occur. If anything, more resources should be put into gathering information about the state's natural resources at this critical juncture. New York just needs to be reminded of Pennsylvania's experience with water withdrawals where fish kills were caused on at least two streams that were de-watered to feed the needs of a gas company.
Removing the gauges would turn river management into a guessing game, where residents and local communities would be left with very little information about what's happening in their local waters.
New York should be proud of the steps it has taken to improve its water resources management in the past year. However, removing these gauges now—in the face of potential gas drilling and in light of recent floods—would be taking New York's water management program a step backward. Federal and state decision makers must find some way to fund these valuable tools before turning their backs on the communities that rely on these gauges to protect local streams and rivers.

Before the draft Kiper talks up his board. After the draft he berates teams who didn't follow his board. After the season he covers his hiney and says, "I told you so!" quite a bit.
Same ol' here. He says the Colts were a B+ but in hindsight should have gotten a C:
The utter disaster that was the Colts' season takes some shine off this class, but let's consider what they got. Anthony Castonzo was supposed to be the future blindside protector for Peyton Manning. He hasn't been spectacular, but at least he has made it to the left side and looks like the future there. What can he be? Well, if he does a good job of protecting Andrew Luck, the grade certainly will get a bump. But we don't know yet. Ben Ijalana hasn't shown a lot. Drake Nevis has had moments but mostly got good reps for a bad defense. Delone Carter got 101 carries but didn't show a lot as a rookie. Chris Rucker got some time in the secondary but needs to develop. All in all, Castonzo is what we thought he might be, but there isn't a lot to like here at this stage, especially considering how bad this team was. It's fair to say I liked this class better in April.
New grade: C
