Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
I want to see the raccoon again :D
Lol same
Patience young one.
me and patience not the best combo lol
I have been waiting too
well some people thought the shukaku was in tobi
Obito didn't have a jinchuuriki for him, plus if he revived him with the Six Paths technique then they would have had to get rid of one of the tailed beasts that we hadn't seen much of yet. But I agree he should be more involved somehow
Yea I want to see Tanaki and Kurama have lil ***** fight be funny
I think it's because Gaara isn't his host anymore.
Shikukaku died, man.
we did....in a flashback.
Yea I guess but I still want too see him
A bijuu can't die it will get revived
no need...it's too pathetic anyways
Kishi needed the 6 Jinchuriki to have some screen time so we can see their abilities and stuff, we have already seen the Shukaku in action in Part I but I agree we should have seen him at least one more time.
No host for it since they rescued Gaara, but I miss his flamboyant attitude
Gaara was still alive...
We never saw the Shukaku in full power or any of tailed beast really not including Kurama and Gyuuki

Budget Cuts for New Jersey State Council on the Arts
May 9, 2008Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive
New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine is proposing a major funding cut to the state arts council, which will mean a 30 percent cut in funding for non-profit WBGO.
Some of the Best Stories...
May 9, 2008. Posted by Amy Niles.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive, Members, Real Life Stories
Another post from Pledge Central. Don't shoot me, but I love pledge drives. Or Member drives, or what ever you want to call them. Some of the volunteers come for the food ( I have suggested that we weigh everyone before and after the drive), but most of us love to speak directly to you. To hear why WBGO is so important to you. You brighten our day and some of you make me laugh out loud!
In the next few weeks, you will be hearing more about "My Source"- but in the meanwhile, I wanted to share some of the stories that contributors have told me- and was hoping that some of you would include some of your own personal tales.
For instance- on the first morning of the drive, someone called and told me that he works for an auto insurance company. He listens to WBGO because we don't play the competitors "hairy commercials"! ( I think that he was referring to that caveman advertiser).
Or the guy who listens faithfully to Michael and Andrew on his way home, hoping that they will talk about food. Every time that they do, he gets so hungry so that by the time that he comes home, his wife's cooking doesn't taste as bad as it really is.
Someone told me a story today about how he was introduced to WBGO- he was a bartender at a rock club in the 80s. The men's room attendent was a crotchety guy who had WBGO playing on his transistor radio in the washroom. He kept telling the staff that one day they would wise up and come to appreciate WBGO- and he would make them sit in the bathroom and listen! 25 years later, we are still here and the caller finally became a member. He felt like he had finally grown up- you never know where you will be turned on to jazz.
Share some of your stories in the comment section! Hopefully, I will have some time to read them on the air this weekend when I share the mike with Eulis Cathey from 9-11p ET on Saturday night.
The "Pledge Central" Vibe
May 7, 2008. Posted by Sylvia Brewer.Add new comment | Filed under: Volunteers
During fund drives, the vibe in "Pledge Central" is comfortable. Like getting together with friends. We discuss current events , family experiences, music, and most of all, we meet new jazz music lovers . If you have not experienced this, you don't know what you are missing! As we raise funds to support WBGO, we are also having fun, lots of food and good music.
Join the WBGO family and become a volunteer today!
From the "Pledge Central" trenches
May 7, 2008. Posted by Jennifer Spiegler.Add new comment | Filed under: Volunteers, WBGO Community Events
Well, April showers have brought May flowers and the May Fund drive. I am still amazed at Gary Walker's and Doug Doyle's ability to raise what seemed to be an impossible amount in the opening four hours of the drive. And here we are again, enjoying what I fondly call " Dinner at Sylvia's" and being amused, in between calls, with the antics of Awilda and Brian.
Looking back, the winter drive came fast on the heels of the demise of CD 101.9 and I personally answered many pledge calls from sad former WQCD listeners who often would say " we have to support WBGO - it's all we have left" and would pledge generously. In the May drive I have answered similar calls. Interestingly, one such former WQCD listener asked, as he opted for a straight ahead jazz thank-you gift, if we had anything by Alex Bugnon. It occurs to me that, just as we now have four hours' programming on Sunday night aimed at this newest addition to our audience, we also have some thank-you gifts for items that may appeal to them as well!
More to come as the bandwagon moves along. Hop on and contribute!
Your trusted volunteer,
WBGO Studio Session - Jaleel Shaw Quintet
May 6, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive, Studio Sessions, Video
Watch "Flipside," from a studio session we did with saxophonist Jaleel Shaw.
Shaw was recently honored with an ASCAP Foundation Young Jazz Composer award. His new record is called Optimism. [Great title]. On that recording, "Flipside" is in the lead-off position, as it was during our studio date.
We shot video only on the first take. The second was even better, and it will be part of the posted session. You'll have to wait until mid-month for that. Meanwhile, check out my other favorite sessions on NPR Music. And support young talent in jazz. Go to gigs. Buy records. And contribute to WBGO.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Bloggers' Rights
Egypt: Free Maikel Nabil Sanad
EFF has grave concerns about the health of Egyptian blogger Maikel Nabil Sanad, who has now been on hunger strike for 57 days. Sanad's retrial was scheduled for October 13, but was postponed. Sanad, who was sentenced in April by a military court to three years in prison on charges of insulting the military on his blog, has stated that he will boycott any retrial.
We firmly support the statement made by Reporters Without Borders Wednesday, which reads:
Two years ago, civil society organizations met in Madrid to draft a Declaration that reaffirmed international standards for Internet privacy. On October 31, civil society groups will meet again in Mexico City to review the Madrid Privacy Declaration and examine privacy laws and policies in Latin America and around the world. This gathering is being organized by The Public Voice, a coalition of global civil society groups that promotes privacy and free expression on the Internet. EFF is part of this coalition and will be presenting at the conference. The event will be held in conjunction with the 33rd Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners Conference.
Dan Ward, attorney to pro-democracy activist and blogger Du Daobin, issued a statement yesterday that noted the efficacy of EFF's campaign to spread awareness about Cisco's responsibilities to stand up for human rights:
As I have previously stated, recent events lead us to believe that the safety of our clients in Du v. Cisco is dependent, in no small part, on the fact that the world is watching.
This Week in Internet Censorship: Egyptian Twitter User Faces Trial While Argentina and Pakistan Ratchet Up Censorship
Egyptian activist faces trial for Tweet
In Egypt, an activist and blogger is facing trial for a Tweet. Asmaa Mahfouz, a prominent young activist, is facing trial by court martial for defaming the ruling Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF) by posting to Twitter:
If the judiciary doesn't give us our rights, nobody should be surprised if militant groups appear and conduct a series of assassinations because there is no law and there is no judiciary.
In Vietnam, being an outspoken blogger can land you in jail.
Pham Minh Hoang, a university professor with dual French and Vietnamese citizenship, was sentenced on August 10 to three years in prison and an additional three years under house arrest, for trying to "overthrow the government." Judge Vu Phi Long ruled that Hoang had "blackened the image of the country" and was guilty of "activities aimed at overthrowing the people's government."

GoldenEye 007 ReviewBy Kevin Kelly - Posted Nov 11, 2010
Wii, Nintendo Wii. Yes, it often gets the short end of the stick when it comes to FPS titles, but GoldenEye 007 proves that this wasn't just a quick cash-in on a beloved title. Developer Eurocom put a lot of work into this title, and it pays off many times over.
The Pros
- Great FPS Action On The Wii
- James Bond and GoldenEye Both Live Again
- Multiplayer Is As Addictive As The Original
The Cons
- Why Did They Replace Pierce Brosnan?
- Online Multiplayer Frustrations Abound
GoldenEye 007 Wii Review:
If you're a gamer, you easily fall into one of two camps: either you've played the classic N64 game GoldenEye 007, or you haven't. It's just that simple. If you played it, and have a heart beating in your chest, then you loved it. At the time, it was the quintessential FPS gaming experience on any console. Then came the multiplayer that was addictive, and defined multiplayer fun for a generation. Plus, since it was the day and age before online gaming, you had to do that all via splitscreen. Yet, nobody complained.
So Long, Brosnan. Hello, Craig.
Back in 2006, Nintendo North America President Reggie Fils-Aime talked about bringing this game to the Virtual Console. But rather than slapping a port together, there's actually a completely revamped edition now available. It's been upgraded around the board, and they've excised Pierce Brosnan (from the movie GoldenEye) and injected Daniel Craig throughout the game. In fact, only Dame Judi Dench remains from the film, with new actors filling in throughout. Purists beware.
So, What Exactly Are You Getting?
Yes, the game has been revamped and recast. But will you recognize it? Definitely. This is still GoldenEye, after all. It's based both on the movie of the same name, and the previous game, and you'll recognize things immediately, especially at the beginning when you link up with 006 and have to infiltrate a facility. Those same old familiar guard towers are back, but the graphics and sound have been cranked way up.
It feels like a crutch to say "Well, it's good for a Wii game," but as a word of warning to people just diving in to the video game scene, you'll definitely notice the jaggies in this game. But from a Wii standpoint, it's a standout title that offers great graphics in conjunction with fun gameplay, while not losing sight of what made the original so addictive.
The Man With The Golden Game?
With the game built on a modified version of the engine used for Visceral and Eurocom's Dead Space: Extraction, you'll get multiple missions that roughly follow the path of the film and the game. They've added a few Daniel Craig-esque innovations and changeups, like some slow-motion, crashing through plate glass windows while firing, which is better suited for this rough and tumble Bond. Almost every mission offers a stealthy option that has you sneaking around corners and through vents, or you can charge in guns blazing and hope to survive.
Speaking of guns, there are a multitude of weapons you'll encounter throughout the game. Over 25 different weapons from the Bond universe are included, including the Golden Gun in multiplayer, and this Bond's favored Walther P99 serving as his go-to handgun with a silencer attachment. While you can perform stealth takedowns in the game, there's something satisfying about sending a few rounds thumping into an enemy soldier.
If setpieces are one of the indicators you look for in a game, after completing the first mission you'll be fleeing from an enormous installation that is coming down around your ears. Enemy soldiers will likewise be fleeing, or trying to stop you from escaping. It's a great (and mercifully short) interlude that highlights exactly how much fun this title can be and why it retains and expands on that whole "James Bond feeling".
Controls Get Shaken And Stirred
GoldenEye 007 gives you a lot of options in the control department. You can use the Wiimote/Nunchuk combination, the Zapper, the Classic Controller, the Classic Controller Pro (which is a great addition to the game), or a GameCube controller. After trying everything but the Zapper, the Classic Controller was definitely my favorite. Yes, it can be fun to aim and steer 007 with the Wiimote, but you'll get frustrated with aiming enough to make you ditch if for something else.
The Classic Controller, which should be a key component of your gaming arsenal, makes things much more intuitive, and there are multiple customization options for the button layout (and movement and button controls for all of the other control options). I quickly found that "Goldfinger" was the best button layout for my style of gameplay, as it put the knuckle buttons into the standard aim and shoot configuration, which is definitely my favorite way to play.
Multiplayer Madness
This is where things stumbled for me, but not completely. I tried several different times to connect to online multiplayer for this game, at multiple locations. Not once would the game connect, and instead I would get an error saying that the profile I had couldn't go online. I tried changing the name, connecting and reconnecting, and banging my head on a wall. Nothing worked. It was a real bummer, because you can play with up to eight players online.
However, local split screen for up to four players works just fine. In fact, it works so well that our test match that was meant to take about ten minutes ended up taking up more than an hour. Plus, everyone who walked by and witnessed wanted in on the action. If you're looking for a local multiplayer experience that fun to hop in and out of, this is your baby.
Is It Licensed To Kill?
You might feel like you should be after playing through this game, and with multiplayer, time trials, unlockables, and cheat codes yet to find, GoldenEye 007 is a game you'll be playing for a long time. Wii owners represent a special breed of gamers, ones who remain fiercely loyal to their console, and for those that are looking for a FPS experience that comes close to mirroring (if at not least rivaling at times) some of the games on the heftier consoles.
Original GoldenEye 007 fanatics are going to be disappointed at the removal of Pierce Brosnan as Bond, which was likely done for image licensing reasons, but Daniel Craig delivers a solid voice acting performance, and the opening credit sequence with his likeness and Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger recording the classic Tina Turner title song is incredible. This is definitely James Bond, and thankfully he feels right at home on the Wii.

Kordell Crawford believes that sex changes the dynamics of a relationship.
"Women are much more emotional than men and sex is a very personal, passionate, affectionate act that brings out many different emotions on many different levels," Crawford said. "To a man sex is just that -- sex. To a woman, sex is so much more that men can't rationalize the impact it has on (women)."
When Crawford heard about a sex detoxification program that may help him find a lasting relationship, his curiosity was piqued.
Ian Kerner, the author of "Sex Detox," says in his book that abstaining from sex for 30 days will enhance the experience for couples and help singles put an end to negative behavior in order to focus on other important factors to establish lasting relationships.
Kerner said the book improves "self awareness and sexual confidence" for married people. For singles, it provides an understanding of how they handle themselves when dating.
Crawford said he is not sure why his relationships do not work out. He wanted to try the program to see if it would improve his situation.
"(I'm) not sure if I have a commitment phobia, but I can be very guarded at times," he said. "I'm not really sure where that comes from but I've been told on several occasions that I have a wall up."
Should Singles Detox?
Kerner's detoxification program includes completing daily assignments, learning breathing techniques, journaling and answering numerous questions. While the book is divided into sections for couples and singles, Kerner said people without a partner will benefit from reading the couple's section.
Kerner writes that it is necessary for singles to liberate themselves from negative patterns and find a "healthier way of dating and relating."
"Too often, casual sex is a potent reminder of the relationship we're not having, the intimacy we would like to be having and the fact that we're merely having sex when what we really want is to be in love," Kerner writes.
To understand if you are out of whack, Kerner asks 10 questions.
They include: "Have you ever cancelled plans with a friend because of a last-minute date?" and "When someone you went on a bad date with doesn't call for a second, are you bummed out?"
If the person answers yes to more than half of the questions, he or she may have bad dating karma, Kerner says.
Crawford said he found the questions in the book interesting and thought-provoking.
"I actually brought up a couple of the questions amongst friends for some lively conversation," he said.
Relationships Need Evaluating
Patrice Hamiter does not understand why a couple or singles would be interested in a sex detox.
"I don't see the point in doing it," she said. "If you are in an unhealthy sexual relationship, maybe you need to evaluate the whole relationship."
Hamiter, who admits she is commitment phobic, added that the questions in the book were not thought-provoking to her at all.
"I thought the questions were stupid," she said.
She added that people should also recognize relationships for what they really are, and sometimes a relationship may be just about sex.
Kerner said sex is important to any good marriage. He said he finds that many couples argue about an unsatisfying sex life more than money or housework.
"Stress can take a major toll on your sex life," he writes. "For men, work-related stress is particularly likely to inhibit desire, while women are often more susceptible to stressors that originate at home."

Product Description
In the year 1959, intrepid astronaut Major Tom was launched in a tin capsule atop a glimmering rocket into the vast reaches of extraterrestrial space. Halfway through the mission, the Major exited his floating shop and was never heard from again. Where did he go? What did he see? This album, conceived by legendary actor of stage and screen William Shatner, tells that story.
Known primarily for his performance as the square-jawed Capt. James T. Kirk, the versatile Shatner brings his unique interpretive talents and much celebrated speak-sing delivery to a host of classic rock favorites and other space-themed songs that record the trajectory and tragedy of Major Tom, the man who journeyed far beyond the stars, and the family he left behind. With guest appearances by an all-star cast of music legends, Seeking Major Tom is one of the most extraordinary concept albums ever created and a sci-fi fantasy like no other!
The album features many noted musicians, including Sheryl Crow, John Wetton, Patrick Moraz, Ritchie Blackmore, Alan Parsons, Peter Frampton, Warren Haynes, Nick Valensi, Zakk Wylde, Mike Inez, Chris Adler, Steve Howe, Michael Schenker, Dave Davies, Johnny Winter, Brad Paisley, Bootsy Collins, Carmine Appice, Ian Paice, and Toots

Same Message As Yesterday…

We all wish the Red Sox would step their game up, but the truth of the matter is that the Angels are playing out of their minds right now. Tough series.
Yeah, the Angels are not gonna make this easy. But the Sox can do it! Let the battle continue…
Sorry. But I've been rooting for the Angels since regular season. (Along with the Padres of course.) Two more games should be interesting at Fenway beginning on Sunday.
Oh well, the Angels were better again last night. Time to usher up those Red Sox or their season is over.
Matthew Tang
The Angels are really doing it. Can Red Sox pull an '04 out of their hats?
Buz –
Coming home will be a very good thing for the Red Sox!! Keep the faith – I am!!

Home is where the heart is
October 20, 2011 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — As young men and women grow older, they venture forth to find their place in the world. And though some leave home to do so, home never leaves them. For it is there that resides family, familiarity and community, the milieu in which they grew up and went to school.
This was Homecoming Week and nowhere was that timeless allegiance stronger than at Sullivan West where former grid stars, dating back to 1951, were extolled at halftime, many of them wearing their jerseys and jackets from the halcyon days at Delaware Valley and Jeff-Youngsville, as well as the 2002 Sullivan West Bulldogs as the occasion celebrated grid alums from years ending in one and two. Homecoming is also a tribute to the current seniors, as the occasion is often on the team's last home game of the season.
Sullivan West senior quarterback E.J. Franskevicz and soccer standout Emma Seidl were crowned as this year's Homecoming King and Queen prior to the Bulldogs' 18-0 non-league win over Class B Rondout Valley. The Dawgs got TDs from Tom Mootz, Franskevicz and Jared Meola. This week, they play Burke in a regular season tune up for their playoff encounter with the Eagles on October 28 in Middletown. Monticello had its Homecoming this week too, as it shut out Port Jervis 34-0 to clinch the three-seed in the upcoming Class A playoffs if they beat Goshen this week and/or if Port Jervis loses to Cornwall. Shane Jackson threw for a pair of TDs and ran for two more. Fifteen Monticello senior gridders and two cheerleaders were extolled prior to the game. Sean Reuss had a TD catch, as did Anthony Gray, for the 4-2 (3-2 OCIAA) Monties. Last year, Monticello lost its playoff opener to Cornwall. This year, they seek to avenge a resounding 52-7 early season loss to the Green Dragons.
Eldred's Homecoming/Senior Day celebration was played belatedly on October 17. After honoring seniors Tyler Knapp, Jordan Tice, Brian Grimm, Adam Schoch, Dillon Thiele, Zak Dilles, Alec Martell, Anthony Moriggia and Vinny Riina, the Yellow Jackets sustained a painful 28-22 loss to Onteora, affording the visiting Indians only their second win in four years. They beat winless Fallsburg in 2011. Tri-Valley will host Millbrook this week for its Homecoming/Senior Night under the lights on October 21, as they vie for the final playoff berth. The winner will face James I. O'Neill at Dietz Stadium on October 28 in the Class C semifinals.
As part of the Homecoming Week senior tribute, Sullivan West hosted a pair of soccer games under the lights. The girls lost to Monticello 4-1, while the boys prevailed 2-1 over the visiting Monties.

This album for me, is one of only two W.A.S.P. albums (The other being their debut) that come close to touching their two classics ''The Headless Children'', and ''The Crimson Idol". Its just prevented from being up there with them by being a touch overlong, and therefore contains a small amount of filler when those all time great albums had none. I also much prefer "The Rise" over "The Demise" from the 2 ''Neon God'' albums. Songs like the stinging first real track ''Wishing Well", and the painfully haunting "What I'll Never Find", are among Blackie's finest compositions, and bring the band close to their previous greatness. Other highlights are the mesmerising "Asylum #9", and the thundering rocker "X.T.C. Riders". In fact the latter track is hampered only by the fact that the drums literally play the same beat throughout the whole song, with no fills whatsoever. This is especially perplexing when you consider that Frankie Banali is the man behind the kit! Maybe he'd began to lose some of his chops by this point, I dunno...lol
This is IMO one of W.A.S.P.'s better albums, and definitely the best W.A.S.P. album since ''The Crimson Idol''. Not quite a classic, but its a great album nonetheless.

I actually really love "Demolition"! It is more of a Priest album than "Jugulator", as it has a variety in song styles which is in keeping with the Priest tradition. The inclusion of ballads especially was a definite sign that they wanted to leave the one dimensional nature of "Jugulator" behind. This is a double edge sword though, as it is a pretty mixed bag, and is not as consistent in its quality as "Jugulator" was. However, tracks like the storming opener "Machine Man", "Bloodsuckers", the ass kicking boogie metal of "Feed On Me" and the two ballads became instant faves for me, and they are just great heavy metal songs to me. The pounding robotic stomp of "Cyberface" is also a highlight of the album for me.
"Demolition" is without doubt the more schizophrenic of the two Ripper Owens fronted Priest albums. But it is also the most rewarding. And although its inconsistency just stops it from becoming a classic, there is more than enough great tracks to make it a worthy addition to the Priest catalogue. I like this album a lot!
Written by Guest on 04.03.2010 at 20:28
IMO you are a big analyzer anyone has different taste and I believe that Jugulator is better than it but totally both of them as compared to 80's Priest albums aren't good.

"Feeding the Next Generation: Science, Business, and Public Policy"
Discussion Paper 2011-09, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
December 2011
Authors: Calestous Juma, Professor of the Practice of International Development; Director, Science, Technology, and Globalization Project; Principal Investigator, Agricultural Innovation in Africa, Josh Drake, Former Belfer Center International and Global Affairs (BIGA) Student Fellow, 2010-2011, L. Val Giddings
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: Agricultural Innovation in Africa; Science, Technology, and Globalization; Science, Technology, and Public Policy
Today, three of ten people on the planet rely on others to grow their food and 900 million remain chronically food insecure. By 2050 the global demand for agricultural production is expected to double. Half of the global population will live in cities and will need to be fed through market channels. Meeting these demands will require significant increases in agricultural productivity. Modern, science-driven farming including genetically modified crops represents the best chance of generating the increases in agricultural productivity necessary to feed our future. This paper's overall conclusion is that genetically modified crops can and should play a critical role in agricultural productivity. It is offers a roadmap for those interested in objectively evaluating both the risk and benefits of biotechnology in agriculture.

Better Buildings by Design Conference explores cutting edge of energy efficiency
Photo by Efficiency Vermont Last year's Better Building by Design Conference was packed with builders, architects, advocates and many others with an interest in building energy-efficient homes.
It may seem impossible a building that produces more energy than it consumes throughout the course of a year.
This net-zero building is designed not only to minimize energy usage, it also integrates renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and geothermal.
In fact, net-zero buildings have progressed far beyond the realm of possibility in recent years and they are coming soon to a neighborhood near you. In some places, they have already arrived.
Many states, municipalities and some federal agencies have set ambitious goals to reduce the energy requirements of their buildings. The practical aim is to rein in energy costs for taxpayers by ensuring that buildings are insulated against the increasing costs of energy and are cheap to operate in the long run.
One consequence of these efforts has been to spur a resurgence of interest in sustainable design among architects, builders and developers.
This growing trend will be explored in detail Feb. 5 and 6 at a regional event hosted by Efficiency Vermont in Burlington. The Better Buildings by Design Conference will mark its 11th year with the theme Net Zero by 2030.
The conference is bringing international experts in green building to Vermont. On the table for discussion are: the science behind net-zero buildings, sharing innovations in design and building trends, and considering the benefits and implications of net-zero projects that already exist in Vermont and elsewhere.
A common myth is that net zero is not attainable in a climate such as Vermonts, where cold winter days and lack of sunlight can pose a major challenge to building designers. But Vermonters interest in these types of projects is growing with some notable success stories.
In 2012, Gov. Peter Shumlin cut the ribbon on a new state office complex in Bennington that incorporates advanced energy-efficiency features along with renewable energy systems, such as geothermal heating and cooling and solar hot water.
These systems, combined with the 78 percent reduction in energy consumption compared to the old facility, mean that the complex needs no on-site fossil fuel combustion for space heating or cooling.
Net zero is also an increasingly attainable standard for homes. This year, Efficiency Vermont, the nonprofit statewide utility, introduced a new category for high-performance homes to its programs. These homes can be up to 75 percent more efficient than homes built to code, and they are optimized to include renewable energy systems making it easier for homeowners to achieve net zero.
Another local development is the collaboration between Efficiency Vermont and the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board to design net-zero manufactured homes.
This effort began as a result of the devastation that Tropical Storm Irene brought to manufactured-home parks throughout the state. The goal is to build a sustainable, durable home that is affordable to purchase and to operate throughout the long term.
The homes are now being built at the Vermod factory in White River Junction. With insulation, high-efficiency air source heat pumps and roof-mounted solar panels, they are anticipated to require only $16 per month in utility bills.
Despite these recent developments, its difficult to draw conclusions about where the industry is heading and how much effect the net-zero trend will ultimately have in Vermont.
Granted, most home and business owners would be glad to reduce their annual energy costs to zero. But lining up the financing and funding to support the increased up-front cost of advanced efficiency and renewable energy features remains a major challenge.
The Better Buildings by Design Conference offers an important opportunity to explore these questions in detail and consider how progress toward a Net Zero by 2030 goal could actually develop during the next 16 years.
To bring the net-zero theme into focus, the conference will begin with a keynote address from renowned architect and green-building expert Eric Corey Freed, a recognized pioneer in the tradition of organic architecture first developed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Freed is optimistic about the future and predicts that net-zero buildings will become increasingly commonplace.
Think about the cellphone, and how the first cellphones were big and clunky and expensive and now they give them away for free, he said. Thats essentially whats happening with renewable technology, and its just going to keep happening Its an exciting time to be an architect and builder.
Freed points to several trends that are converging toward greater accessibility and affordability of sustainable and high-efficiency design.
Beefed-up state and municipal energy codes are driving innovations. At the same time, local building energy-disclosure requirements are enabling prospective property buyers to more fully understand how high they can expect their energy bills to be.
We believe that every building should be a green building, Freed says. In the future, we wont even use the term any more. Green building will simply be the way it is. This is inevitable.

Dordt College News
Dordt Writes: On Kuyper
April 29, 2013
Abraham Kuyper's name has long been familiar in Reformed circles and is increasingly so in the broader evangelical world. The Dordt Press has recently published a collection of essays examining how this Dutch theologian and politician influenced Christians' thinking about church, culture, gender, common grace, education, politics, scholarship, fashion, art, science, and evolution throughout the last century.
On Kuyper: A Collection of Readings on the Life, Work and Legacy of Abraham Kuyper, co-edited by Dr. John Kok, is this week's featured book at the "Dordt Writes" event on Friday, May 3, at the John and Louise Hulst Library at 11 a.m. Kok is the dean for research and scholarship at Dordt and director of the Andreas Center.
"Kuyper's vision has continued relevance for Christians today," says Kok. "People take his ideas seriously, even if they don't agree with everything he said." He believes that On Kuyper is a valuable resource for those who want to think about implications of faith for contemporary thought and social action.
Editors Steve Bishop and Kok gathered and edited 31 articles, some in print for the first time, from 28 authors who use a Kuyperian framework to critique and to develop Christian perspectives on a broad range of topics that relate to how we live in today's world. The book gives an introduction to Kuyper's life and thought through the eyes of others. They range from articles titled "How Abraham Kuyper Became a Kuyperian" to "Common Grace and Christian Action in Abraham Kuyper" to "Rehabilitating the State in America: Kuyper's Overlooked Contribution." The breadth and scope of these articles stand as testimony to Abraham Kuyper's desire to see the lordship of Christ extend to every area of life, say the editors.
Twenty-seven of the 31 articles have been published previously, some of them obscurely and not readily accessible. Four of the articles have never been published and contribute significant insights into Kuyper's thought, says Kok. The book brings all of these resources under one title.
Compiled by individuals deeply rooted in the neo-Kuyperian movement, On Kuyper is the most comprehensive anthology of essays about Kuyper to date. It comes out at nearly the same time as an acclaimed new biography on Kuyper by Dr. James Bratt titled Abraham Kuyper: Modern Calvinist, Christian Democrat.
Kok is pleased with the book and believes it will be a valuable resource for scholars and that it will appeal to anyone simply wanting to understand more about how a Kuyperian worldview shapes the way people think and act.
The "Dordt Writes" series celebrates books by Dordt College authors. The campus and broader community is invited to share a cup of coffee and a cookie, and to hear Kok talk briefly and answer questions about the book.

Comments about Sugarpine:
I researched a shoe that would give me more support for plantar fasciitis, this is the shoe. After purchasing the only AHNU brand shoe (in a too larger size), I decided to buy them online. Now that I know my size, I can easily order my fourth pair now!
The company is great, I purchased a pair that broke down around the shoe string area and they sent me credit so that I could purchase a pair of shoes and still had enough credit to pay for half of the next ones.

Comments about Sugarpine:
I wanted a hiking shoe that was lightweight, comfortable, and waterproof for a recent trip to Scotland and the Sugarpine fit the bill perfectly. I did wear them out and about at home a couple of times before the trip, but, honestly, I didn't need to. They were super comfortable right out of the box. They really got put to the test the day I went to Culloden Battlefield - it was raining hard so the ground was wet and muddy and puddles of water were everywhere, but my feet were warm and dry. I wouldn't wear them for serious hiking, but for the walking I did over grass and small stones, they worked great. I purchased both the black and dark slate because I couldn't decide which color I wanted and ended up returning the black and keeping the dark slate. They're much prettier in person than they are in the screen.

Feb. 7, 2007 -- Kids with heavy eyelids may end up with heavy bodies, a Northwestern University study suggests.
Beginning at age 3, the study finds, kids who get too little sleep tend to be overweight five years later.
Doctoral student Emily Snell and colleagues reached that conclusion after looking at sleep data collected from a national sample of 3- to 12-year-old children.
Five years later, they took a second look at 1,441 of those children.
"We found that even an hour of sleep makes a big difference in weight status," Snell says in a news release.
"Sleeping an additional hour reduced young children's chance of being overweight from 36% to 30%, while it reduced older children's risk from 34% to 30%," she says.
The National Sleep Foundation recommends that 5- to 12-year old kids get 10 to 11 hours of sleep each night. Teens should get eight to nine hours of sleep.
But Snell and colleagues found that, by their seventh birthday, kids were sleeping less than 10 hours on weekdays. This fell to eight and a half hours by age 14, and to eight hours by 17.
A minority got far less sleep on weekdays:
- 13% of kids aged 3 to 9 slept less than nine hours.
- 11% of kids aged 8 to 12 slept less than eight hours.
- 16% of kids aged 13 to 18 slept less than seven hours.
Kids who slept less were more likely to develop weight problems.
Staying up too late was linked to later weight problems for 3- to 8-year-olds, and to getting up too early for 8- to 13-year-olds.
"Parents should be encouraged to put their younger children to bed early enough so they can sleep at least 10 or 11 hours a night," Snell and colleagues conclude.
"For older children, however, only later wake times were associated with … lower rates of overweight. This result supports findings from the growing sleep literature encouraging later school start times, particularly for adolescents," the study continues.
The report appears in the January/February issue of Child Development.

This week's announcement by Governor Scott Walker and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett of a new initiative to promote entrepreneurship in Wisconsin's largest city is a welcome and long overdue recognition of the need to spur economic development and job growth in the state. It acknowledges both the need to encourage start-ups as opposed to luring existing businesses here to create jobs, and the need for state investment in the effort.
It is also a welcome boost to Milwaukee's prospects in the global marketplace. We've long promoted the reality that a strong Wisconsin needs a strong Milwaukee. And in fact the state should quickly look for similar opportunities to push for start-ups in Madison, Janesville and Beloit for starters, in ways that can complement the sectors Milwaukee will be targeting. This is the kind of strategic thinking that we're seeing in other, more nimble states. It's good to see Wisconsin getting in the game.

Federal marine officials responded to a scene on Oahu's North Shore where a dead humpback whale calf was found Tuesday morning.
Crews with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration went to the site at Kahuku Point, about a mile from the Turtle Bay Resort.
The dead whale attracted a handful of spectators, including North Shore resident Scott Sundby, who operates Shaka Kayaks at Turtle Bay.
"Fortunately, I've been here for the birth of two monk seals within fifteen minutes after they were born to see that miracle. But in the other end of the spectrum, you've also got the death," said Sundby. " It's very unfortunate, (but) it is part of nature."
The male calf was found by a fisherman at around 6:30 a.m., according to NOAA.
"This is a very young humpback whale calf. Maybe a couple of days to a couple of weeks old," said David Schofield, program manager for NOAA's Marine Mammal Health and Response Program.
NOAA removed the whale carcass at 2:15 p.m.
The whale weighs between 2,500-to-3,000-pounds and is 13-feet long, according to the state Department of Land and Natural Resources. City Lifeguards on a watercraft patrolled about a mile-long stretch of ocean from Kahuku Point to Turtle Bay to make sure anyone entering the ocean knew about the carcass.
"Anytime you have a stranding like this it's going to attract large predators because of bodily fluids and blood in the water," said Schofield.
Click here to see more photos from the scene.
This is the fifth dead humpback whale calf to wash ashore in Hawaiian waters since the start of the year. Two washed ashore in January, and another two in February.
"Having five humpback whale calves in one season is a lot. Usually, we only see 1-to-2 every other year, so it is above the average, and we are concerned about population health," said Schofield.
Federal, state and city officials were hoping to deliver the dead calf to Hawaii Pacific University where a necropsy could be performed. However, the carcass had to be released at sea shortly after being removed from the reef at 2:15 p.m.
As the whale was being towed behind a DLNR boat, tiger sharks began feeding on the carcass. In the name of public safety, the whale was cut loose about four miles off Waimea Bay before it ever reached Haleiwa Small Boat Harbor
Tissue samples taken from the dead animal will help determine if the whale was suffering from any kind of disease.
Schofield said test results have already cleared two of the whale calves that washed ashore earlier.
"The good news is that two of the four previous whales that were sampled showed negative results for the diseases that we're concerned about," he said.

Thistle builds mixed-income housing at base of foothills
- published_in
- News Stories
The 18-home development, called 1000 Rosewood LLC, will include 16 single-family homes and one duplex. The development is a partnership between Allison Management LLC and the Thistle Communities, with nine of the homes available at market value and nine offered through the city of Boulder's permanently affordable home ownership program.
"The goal is to develop affordable homes in Boulder … with a focus on mixed-income communities for homeowners,´ said Andy Allison, principal at Allison Management. Boulder-based Allison management began 10 years ago, Allison said, developing a variety of housing, including for-sale projects and apartments.
All the homes have three or more bedrooms and range from 1,200 to 1,800 square feet, Allison said, with market-rate homes being built by Porchfront Homes priced from $400,000 to $570,000. The first four market-rate homes in 1000 Rosewood were listed in early February. Some homes should be finished by April, Allison said, with staggered building completion.
"We expect it will be 100 percent built-out in July," Allison said.
Allison partnered successfully on previous projects with Thistle Communities, including Yarmouth in North Boulder.
"It's a public-private partnership that brings expertise and financing together,´ said Mary Duvall, chief executive of Thistle Communities. A nonprofit real estate development company, Thistle has been in business for 25 years. The company helps working families stay in Boulder through the development of affordable housing across a variety of income levels, from rentals to full home ownership. The 1000 Rosewood partnership developed after the previous property owner wanted to sell the property, and Thistle took the property through the annexation process with the city of Boulder.
Boulder's inclusionary housing ordinance requires all developers to provide 20 percent affordable housing in new developments or pay cash-in-lieu of the affordable housing, said Bonnie Logan, homeownership program manager for the city of Boulder's division of housing. During an annexation process developers must offer additional community benefit, which came in the form of a 50-50 split between market-rate and permanently affordable housing in the 1000 Rosewood subdivision.
The city's permanently affordable homeownership program targets people working in Boulder with an income totaling more than 60 percent of the city's annual median income. For the Rosewood development, applicants needed an income from 79 percent to 109 percent of the Boulder average, or $66,950 to $92,300, Logan said.
"Rosewood was a very popular project," Logan said, with more buyers applying for the permanently affordable houses than were available. A lottery decided which of the qualified applicants bought the homes. The permanently affordable homes sold for $179,000 to $250,000 and homeowners' association fees of $44 per month, Logan said. The average home price in Boulder for the third quarter of 2012 was $382,100, according to the National Association of Realtors' median sales price index for single-family homes in metropolitan areas.
Appreciation on the homes cap at 3.5 percent each year to keep them affordable for future buyers who will also need to meet income and work requirements similar to the current buyers, Logan said. It's a program that keeps families in the city.
"I think the city recognizes the benefit of having an economically diverse community," Logan said, and keeping families in town that would otherwise be priced out of the Boulder housing market provides environmental benefit through shorter commuting.
That's one benefit Laurel Mulholland sees. She and her family bought a four-bedroom, permanently affordable home in the 1000 Rosewood development through the city's program. They currently rent in Gunbarrel.
"We realized it was too hard carting the kids back and forth," Mulholland said, "and when this development happened we were so psyched," Mulholland said.
She and her husband previously owned a townhome through the city's affordable-housing program, but outgrew it. Mulholland works as a psychotherapist in downtown Boulder and her husband is a nurse at Boulder Community Hospital. With three children, buying a large enough market-rate home in Boulder was out of the question, and being priced out of their community hit hard, she said.
Located just west of Broadway, the development offers access to terrific natural amenities, Allison said, with Wonderland Lake Trailhead nearby, hiking trails pressed against the foothills within sight, expansive community gardens across the street, a warren of bike paths connected to other areas, easy access to public transportation and plenty of dining and retail options nearby, such as Amante Coffee and Boulder Cycle Sport.
It's also steps from Shining Mountain Waldorf School, where Mulholland's children attend.
Committed to being a one-car family, the new Rosewood home will allow the Mulhollands less time commuting and more time living and contributing to their community.
"Being close to Boulder, we can successfully uphold our values," she said, "and meet culturally where our values are."

'Save the Music'
Arturo Sandoval and his Big Band visit Glendale's Alex Theatre Saturday
By Carl Kozlowski 01/17/2013
Not many people can say they've had their lives saved by legendary trumpet master Dizzy Gillespie. Combine that anecdotal detail with a slew of awards that have included eight Grammys (among 17 nominations), six Billboard Awards, and even an Emmy for composing the score to an HBO biopic about his life that starred Andy Garcia, and Arturo Sandoval has lived the kind of life that he could barely imagine while growing up under an oppressive communist dictatorship in Cuba.
On Saturday, the world-famous musician and his band will appear at Glendale's Alex Theatre in "Arturo Sandoval & His Big Band Save the Music," aimed at raising money for the Glendale Arts and the Glendale Educational Foundation. Part of the proceeds will also be used to help the Arturo Sandoval Institute, which provides musical instruments and classes to children who cannot afford them.
Combining soulful jazz, trademark Afro-Cuban rhythms and classical pieces, the night should offer both potent musical entertainment and a glimpse at the myriad of musical influences on Sandoval while growing up in Cuba.
"When I was little, I started banging on everything in my house, trying to make music on everything, and my grandmother said, 'He is crazy. He thinks he is a musician or something,'" says the 63-year-old Sandoval, who performs more than 100 shows a year. "Time passed, and my very small village in the countryside of Cuba put together a band, like a marching band. Of course, I wanted to join, and they first gave me a trombone, which I didn't like, then a bass drum, which was too heavy to carry. Then they gave me the flute, and the flute made me feel dizzy. Finally, I started to eye the trumpet.
"My aunt bought me a pocket-comet style of trumpet, and it was recommended to me to visit an old man in the village who played the trumpet," Sandoval continues. "He asked me to play something. I played what I could, and he said I would never amount to anything. I left, became angry, and it became a challenge to me to prove him wrong, and that has been what I have been doing for the past 51 years."
Those recollections stem from his childhood in the rural Cuban village of Artemisa — a youth marked by musical joy tempered by disdain for the freedom-crushing Fidel Castro administration. Since the only way to play abroad and escape his impoverished surroundings was to represent Cuba as a cultural emissary, Sandoval co-founded the band Irakere, along with Chucho Valdes and Paquito D'Rivera, when he was in his early 20s, quickly becoming popular worldwide and landing a Columbia Records deal after a groundbreaking performance at the Newport Jazz Festival.
While he is professionally known as a trumpeter and pianist, Sandoval also plays percussion and the French horn. He doesn't have a favorite style of music, saying that he doesn't limit himself to one type or style because as a musician, "there is only one music — 'the good one.'"
Yet, even among all the luminaries he's known, Gillespie stands out for discovering Sandoval in 1977 during a tour of Cuba and hiring him to be part of his band. Emboldened by his growing success and possessing a passion to raise a family in a free society, Sandoval defected to the US, becoming a naturalized citizen in 1999, a decision that prevents him from being able to return to his homeland.
"I owe my career to Dizzy, my life, he saved me," Sandoval says of Gillespie, who died in 1993. "He gave me the opportunity to perform and tour with him, which led to my immigration to the USA. He set me free from the oppression of a dictatorship where you could be sent to jail for listening to jazz on the radio.
"Dizzy was a genius of music and my hero because he created bebop," Sandoval continues. "Besides being an incredible trumpet player, he created a musical style in an era when people were playing something else. He came out with a new way of musical improvisation, and I miss him very much."
"Arturo Sandoval & His Big Band Save the Music" is performed at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Alex Theatre, 216 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale. Tickets are $20 to $125. Call (818) 243-2539 (ALEX) or visit alextheatre.org for more information.
