Learners will investigate, compare, and describe patterns in Solar System data. They will then hypothesize about the formation of the Solar System based on data and explain how extrasolar planets can be discovered. In the first activity, the... (View More) students investigate Solar System data to find clues to how our planetary system was formed. By the end of the activity, the students come to understand that other stars form just like the Sun, and, therefore, many stars could have planets around them. The second activity examines how scientists can find these extrasolar planets. By observing the behavior of a model star-planet system, the students come to understand that it is possible to see the effect a planet has on its parent star even if the planet cannot be seen directly. By comparing the properties of our Solar System with other planetary systems, we can gain a deeper understanding of planetary systems across the Universe. Note: The MESSENGER mission to Mercury that is mentioned in this lesson ended operations April 30, 2015. For the latest information about MESSENGER and NASA's solar system missions see the links under Related & Supplemental Resources (right side of this page). (View Less)
This activity is designed to introduce students to planetary geologic features and processes. First, students will use NASA satellite images to identify geologic surface features on the "Blue Marble" (Earth), and will explore the connection between... (View More) those features and the geologic processes that created them. Using that information, students will then compare and discuss similar features on images from other planets. Included are the following materials: teacher's guide (with reference and resource information), student's guide (with activity sheets), and multiple cards of planetary images. Note that the range of targeted grade levels is quite broad; however, explicit adaptations for younger students are highlighted throughout the teacher's guide. (View Less)

BATON ROUGE — Today, Governor Bobby Jindal and Shell announced the selection of Ascension Parish as the location for a potential natural gas-to-liquids (GTL) facility. According to the terms of an incentive agreement with the state, the company at a minimum would spend $12.5 billion and create 740 direct jobs, should the project be built. The expected average annual salary of the direct new jobs would be approximately $100,000, plus benefits. LED commissioned an economic impact analysis from Louisiana State University (LSU) that indicates the 740 new direct jobs would result in approximately 3,900 new indirect jobs, for a total of more than 4,600 new permanent jobs in Louisiana. LSU further estimates the project would produce a total economic impact of $81.6 billion over the construction period and the first 15 years of operation.
total economic impact of $81.6
Shell's Gulf Coast GTL facility would be one of the first of its kind built to commercial scale in the United States. As a leading producer in the Gulf of Mexico with approximately 150 million barrels of oil each year, Shell also operates extensive onshore facilities in Louisiana, including its Norco and Geismar plants, a major training center in Robert, and corporate offices in New Orleans. If built, the proposed project would use natural gas to create cleaner-burning transportation fuels, such as natural gas-based diesel and jet fuels and other products, such as specialty waxes and the building blocks for lubricants, plastics and detergents. As part of America's energy mix, GTL technology can help the U.S. meet its growing transportation needs while advancing the nation's energy security.
Sounds similar to Sasol in Lake Charles, which is even larger than this one.
Shell's Gulf Coast GTL facility would be one of the first of its kind built to commercial scale in the United States
Louisiana blowing up
An estimated $32 million in road improvements associated with the proposed GTL project will address traffic generated by the construction and operation of the facility. The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development will begin moving forward this year with projects that benefit the industry and those who travel throughout St. James and Ascension parishes. Based on the status of its project evaluation, Shell would fund new road projects, including new turning lanes, expansion of Louisiana Highway 22 to four lanes from Interstate 10 to Louisiana Highway 70 and expansion of Louisiana Highway 70 to four lanes from that intersection to the Sunshine Bridge. The improvements currently are targeted for completion in the fall of 2016. Contingent on a final decision to move forward with the Gulf Coast GTL project, Shell would be reimbursed for this total cost from performance-based infrastructure grants provided by the State of Louisiana.
I hope the price of oil stays high and the price of gas stays low, that's the only way a GTL plant makes it

In one of my two hives the queen just stopped laying, workers made about 4 queen cells in about 10 days,which I cut out, then the original queen started laying again. There is no capped brood but as of today, lots of larvae in various stages and eggs- in a good brood pattern? Maybe these were swarm cells? and the workers quit feeding the queen to stop her from laying? I did add another super of foundation last week?
Any guesses?

Yup, still rainy and chilly in our neck of the woods. Sigh! The upside is when you're trapped in the house all day, you get a jumpstart on some Mother's Day gifts:
I made these little wood silhouettes of my boys for their Grandma today. I bought the wood pieces at Michael's and gave them a few coats of aqua paint. Then I took some profile shots of the boys. I printed them out on plain paper and cut them out. Then I used the cut-out photo as a pattern for my black cardstock.
I simply glued them on and done! It's a small little gift, I'm sure my Mom will love! The boys had fun guessing who was who in the silhouettes. The 4 year old picked himself out immediately.

Robert contacted me for the work and explained to me exactly what was needed and time required. He also helped me book the appointment for Saturday. He answered all my queries clearly. On the day as agreed, they started work as soon as I reached the garage and the work was completed on time as previously mentioned. Read brake pads and sensor were changed. Brake fluid was replaced. They also inspected the front brakes and discs and even suggested when I would need to change it and did not scare or persuade me to change it right away like some other garage had quoted me. Overall it has been a pleasant experience and I would definitely recommend C&R Motors and their team. Thanks guys

Catherine Opie's entire artistic career can be seen as one long photographic road trip across this continent in search not of the American dream but rather a dream of an idea of community. Her works—whether the extremely formal, color-saturated portraits of friends in the lesbian and gay leather community of Los Angeles that brought her to the art world's attention in 1993 or those documenting that city's ubiquitous concrete highway overpasses, mini-malls, and architectural facades—are each animated by a single question: How does one create a portrait of a community?
This question provides the motivating impetus behind Opie's Domestic series. These portraits of lesbian couples, families, and friends in their households, taken in 1998 as the artist embarked on a three-month odyssey in an RV to nine different cities across the country, were an attempt to "document the lesbian dream."1 The catalyst for this series could be found in an earlier work, Self-Portrait/Cutting (1993), a color photograph of the artist isolated against a lush green backdrop with her bare back turned toward the viewer. This was, however, a self-portrait with a difference, as Opie's back became a surface for a naïve, childlike line drawing—cut into her skin with a razor—depicting two women holding hands in front of a house. It is paradoxically a heartbreakingly sweet image, notable for its ability to transform what might seem like a violent act into a beautiful one. As she suggests, this image is "about an idealistic view of what domesticity is, and what I want from it."2 This desire became the basis for her Domestic series, which expands our understanding of how families can be constructed by presenting its lesbian subjects in a powerful and dignified manner in the realm of a profoundly recognizable American domesticity.
Communities can also be portrayed in terms of the architectural spaces they inhabit, as the artist demonstrated in 2001 when she began a yearlong residency project at the Walker Art Center. The resulting body of work was a series of fourteen large-scale color photographs of icehouses—indigenous, ad hoc architectural structures that populate the winter landscape of Minnesota. Like one of Italo Calvino's "invisible cities," these recreational fishing outposts manifest themselves organically on the frozen lakes, creating temporary, seasonal communities that cut across social distinctions. In the spring, these ice villages disappear as quickly as they had appeared, their citizens dispersing to their other lives. Under Opie's meticulous lens, the colorful shacks respirate from foreground to background along a horizon line that from image to image never wavers. Devoid of human presence, these almost abstract, minimal structures become anthropomorphic markers of their inhabitants, who use them to fish, socialize, and while away the winter hours. Taken together, the two bodies of work present divergent, if complementary, methods for documenting their respective communities and can take their place in the documentary tradition in American photography dating back to the work of Robert Frank and Walker Evans, who both took their own road trips in search of America. Opie has adapted those formal techniques and social thematics to her own subjects, enlisting the genres of architectural and portrait photography in order to trace the diverse, shifting contours of the conceptual horizon line of the American community.

I love spice kit. Excellent tofu!! Disagree with the "generic" comment. You won't find tofu prepared with this texture and flavor in most restaurants.

Spice Kit is better by a mile than Asian Box. Not just in food, but also in service. Also, the parking is usually better, most of the time, around California Ave than at Town and Country.

I've been to both Spice Kit and Asian Box ... I thought they were run by the same people, but if not they are both very similar. I have not been back to either place ... the food has the taste of those premake packets from Whole Foods or Piazzis ... one step up from a frozen dinner, but not flavorful and delicious like fresh food ought to taste. I cannot account for why these places are not better ... they should be great, but the food ends up bland and forgettable.
The one "box-like" industrial restaurant I do like is Cafe Sprouts for Salad.
A long time ago there was a really wonderful place one University called Macheesmo Mouse that was a bit like this, more self serve though. It was like the precursor to Chipotle.
I hope these new little places figure out how to impart some flavor to these assembly line productions, so far they have been very disappointing.

We really enjoy Spice Kit. Great counter service, good food. The menu is too limited for our taste, but we like the sandwiches. It's nice for vegetarian food, too. Overall, on a budget, super hungry or not so much, you can get something tasty. It's a nice offering on Calif. Ave. It rounds out some of the special things we like over there - the funky thrift store, Know Knew Books, the gnocchi at Cafe Pro Bono, Cho's, of course, and Mediterranean Wraps. I'm glad to see this article.

A hamburger, which you can can anywhere, could be "generic." But not sure how a pork bun could be classified as that... The author appears to be more concerned about the state of the industry or marketing rather than talking knowledgably about food. That being said, I like Spice Kit and I find it a welcome addition to our neighborhood.

Driving Change, Layer by Layer
A vehicle currently in development will not only have a body produced entirely via additive manufacturing processes, but also promises to break new ground in fuel efficiency.
The idea of an environmentally friendly car that is also affordable, practical and capable of being produced with real-world technology might seem far-fetched. However, if all goes according to plan, Jim Kor and his team at Kor Ecologic could do a great deal to lay that view to rest—and additive manufacturing technology is playing a critical role in their efforts.
In 2011, this small company in Winnipeg, Manitoba unveiled the Urbee (urban electric with ethanol as backup), a two-seater hybrid-electric vehicle. Just a few weeks ago, the firm announced that it and its partners—Red Eye on Demand, a rapid prototyping and direct digital manufacturing service, and Red Eye's parent company, additive manufacturing technology supplier Stratasys—had started development of the next-generation Urbee 2, which promises to take the concepts behind the original to a higher level.
What's special about the Urbee? For one, it's fuel-efficient. The plan is to set a new world record by driving from San Francisco to New York on only 10 gallons of biofuel. It will also be no slower than the average vehicle, with highway speeds of 70 mph. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, it will have a relatively simple design. Whereas typical cars contain hundreds of parts, only 40 comprise the Urbee, and the entire car body will be produced via fused deposition modeling on Stratasys machines. "Product design is nearly unencumbered by considerations on how parts can be made with digital manufacturing," Mr. Kor says. "That liberation is incredibly powerful and holds a lot of potential for the future of manufacturing."

COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Activella, Femhrt, Ortho-Prefest, Premphase, Prempro
WARNING: Estrogens, either used alone or with a progestin, have rarely caused very serious side effects. Discuss the risks and benefits of hormone treatment with your doctor. Estrogens and progestins should not be used to prevent heart disease or dementia.
In postmenopausal women, estrogen when used with a progestin can increase the risk of heart disease (such as heart attacks), stroke, serious blood clots in the lungs/legs, dementia, and cancer of the breast/ovaries.
The risk for serious side effects may depend on the dose of estrogen and the length of time it is used. Therefore, this medication should be used at the lowest effective dose and for the shortest amount of time. Discuss the use of this medication with your doctor regularly (for example, every 3 to 6 months) to see if you still need to use it. If you will be using this medication long-term, you should have regular complete physical exams (for example, once a year) as directed by your doctor. See also Notes section.
USES: This medication contains 2 female hormones: an estrogen (such as conjugated estrogen, estradiol) and a progestin (such as medroxyprogesterone, norethindrone, norgestimate). It is used by women to help reduce symptoms of menopause (such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness). These symptoms are caused by the body making less estrogen. The progestin in this medication helps to reduce the risk of cancer of the uterus which can be caused by using estrogen. Women who have had their uterus removed do not need the progestin and therefore should not use this combination medication.
If you are using this medication to treat symptoms only in and around the vagina, products applied directly inside the vagina should be considered before medications that are taken by mouth, absorbed through the skin, or injected.
This medication may also be used by women after menopause to prevent bone loss (osteoporosis). However, there are other medications (such as raloxifene, bisphosphonates including alendronate) that are also effective in preventing bone loss and may be safer. These medications should be considered for use before estrogen/progestin treatment.
HOW TO USE: Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start using this medication and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once daily. You may take it with food or right after a meal to prevent stomach upset.
The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.
Take this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Follow your dosing schedule carefully. Do not increase your dose or take this medication more often or for a longer time than directed.
Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.

Cherries and almond extract pair beautifully in this delectable cake. Yogurt adds subtle flavor and helps keep the cake moist. Recipe by Nancy Baggett.
Nutrition Profile:
Low Cholesterol
Low Sodium
Serves 12
Prep Time 45 min
Total Time 180 min.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Very generously coat a 10-inch Bundt or tube pan with cooking spray. Dust the pan with flour, tapping out the excess.
Step 2
To prepare cherry filling: Combine sugar and cornstarch in a medium nonreactive saucepan (see Note). Stir in cherries, kirsch (or orange juice), lemon zest and almond extract. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture looks like very thick jam and has reduced to about 1 cup, 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
To prepare cake: Sift cake flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl. Beat sugar, butter and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low, then medium speed, until very light and fluffy, about 1 1/2 minutes, scraping the sides as needed. Add half the yogurt and beat until very smooth. With the mixer on low speed, beat in half the dry ingredients until incorporated. Beat in the remaining yogurt, eggs, vanilla and almond extract until combined, scraping the sides as needed. Stir in the remaining dry ingredients just until incorporated.
Step 4
Spoon a generous half of the batter into the prepared pan, spreading to the edges. Spoon the cherry mixture over the batter. Top with the remaining batter. Grease a butter knife and swirl it vertically through the batter and cherries.
Step 5
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the thickest part comes out with no crumbs clinging to it and the top springs back when lightly pressed, 50 to 65 minutes. (Dark-colored metal pans usually bake cakes faster than light-colored or shiny metal pans.) Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let stand until the cake is completely cooled, about 1 1/2 hours. Very carefully run a knife around the edges and center tube to loosen the cake from sides and bottom. Rap the pan sharply against the counter several times to loosen completely. Invert the pan onto a serving plate and slide the cake out. Dust the top with confectioners' sugar before serving.

The only reason i ask is because i heard some ware that dogwood blossoms are not really flowers but leaves.
The only reason i ask is because i heard some ware that dogwood blossoms are not really flowers but leaves.
If you spray the flowers with sugar water, then they might pollinate them, but they don't naturally.
Before a bee stings, it will be sure to let you know that it will hurt them more than it will hurt you.
ok thanks for the reply
that is what i needed to know
I have several dogwoods in my yard. I see the bees working the blooms often.
I have never seen a honey bee work a dogwood bloom and I usually have some of both around.
In forty years of beekeeping, I have only seen bees working dogwood blooms one time. A sphinx moth is the natural pollinator and it is noctunal. TED
ALABAMA BEE COMPANY-A member of the Sioux Honey association -*Sweetening a golden tommorrow*
Maybe the dogwoods arround here taste better. I have several wild dogwoods in and around my home yard. I went out a few moments ago to look and there were several honeybees on the blooms and they appear to be heavy with pollen. There is no shortage of blooms, clover, spring beauties, henbit, fruit trees, black locusts and the privette is only and few days away. The bees are busy but they are visiting the dogwood also.
Not doubting your input - Just alerting others that it IS unusual.
Bees are all over the red-twigged dogwoods around my property. These have clusters of tiny white flowers, not the single white flowers of other dogwoods.
Not a stupid question at all, to the extent that there's a graduation thesis inspired by a similar questions in mind.
Searching against "honey" in the thesis gives these results:
* Lacking any floral impediment to nectar or pollen, a large diversity of insect visitors have been observed including, honey bees, native bees, syrphid flies, as well as other Dipterans, butterflies and beetles
* In past survey efforts, many insects have been observed in association with Cornus species including honey bees, native bees, syrphid flies and other dipterans, butterflies and beetles
* Honey bees in screen cages have been used to cross pollinate dogwoods, although a solution containing sucrose and queen mandibular pheromone must be placed on the bracts to attract the honey bees to flowers, which produce very little nectar
* Cages containing an insect vector (honey bees) had high rates of fruit set, suggesting wind is an ineffective vector for pollen transfer
* Honey bees in screened cages are commonly used to cross trees for breeding purposes and have been successful in controlled crosses involving flowering and kousa dogwoods (Wadl et al., 2009; Wang et al., 2009). Naturally foraging honey bees seldom visit inflorescences of C. florida because of the miniscule nectar reward offered by the flower.[bolded by me - marenostrum] To overcome this limitation a solution containing sucrose and honey bee queen mandibular pheromone can applied to the base of bracts to entice honey bees to visit the flowers (Craddock et al., 1997)
Actually, ALL flower petals are leaves. They are highly modified leaves that do not photosynthesize or function like leaves, but their developmental origins are the same as leaves. That does not, however, make the flower a leaf. It is still a flower, composed of (up to) four parts: sepals, petals, stamens and carpels. Flowers do not have to have all four parts, but all four parts are floral whorls (flower parts).
Also, Ted - you are right about sphinx moths being nocturnal, but there is one group of them (and I thought that you would find it interesting) that is diurnal. I only learned this year watching insects pollinate our dwarf korean lilac. The Snowberry Clearwing is in the sphinx moth family and is diurnal (at least I saw it all day!). The group of clearwings are bumblebee and honeybee mimics. Check them out - they are a really neat moth.
Buzzy Bee,
There are different kinds of dogwoods. One type that is plentiful in my area of Northeast Ohio is the Red Osier Dogwood. This is the red-twigged one that heus mentioned. It has umbellate clusters of flowers that the bees DO work, and are doing so right now with great gusto.

October 28, 1972
Montreux, CH
Pavillon (Montreux)
includes: Rock and Roll, Black Dog, Over the Hills and Far Away, Misty Mountain Hop, Since I've Been Loving You, Dancing Days, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, The Song Remains the Same (aka 'The Overture'), Rain Song, Dazed and Confused, Stairway to Heaven, Whole Lotta Love (medley incl. Let's Have a Party, I Need Your Love Tonight, Heartbreak Hotel).
Review: Led The Good Times Roll
Last weekend Led Zeppelin played a couple of concerts in sleepy Montreux. I saw both shows. Ask any of the 4,000 fans who came from as far afield as Germany, France and Italy and they'll tell you straight: Zep knocked spots off their many rivals with the ease of true professionals. They've been in the game too long to let fashions worry them.
Zeppelin are a tremendous live force. They've lost none of the energy that characterizes a band who need to work to gain recognition, but the energy has matured into a confidence that allows them to spring off into spontaneous directions during their shows.
A nod, a wink, a drum roll or a wave of a fretboard and Zeppelin can turn a number back on its heels into songs totally unexpected. Who would imagine, for example, that Whole Lotta Love could end up as Heartbreak Hotel? It can and it does when Zeppelin fly.
But we'll start at the beginning: Both shows – on Saturday and Sunday – were sellouts, a fact which seems superfluous to mention, but have to remember Zeppelin haven't been around these parts lately. And there was a minimum of advertising.
Swiss promoter, Claude Nobs, a man who has brought so much contemporary music to Switzerland, was in London last week to tie up the deal with Zeppelin's management, and the group have a soft spot for Claude.
Montreux is a wonderfully peaceful town, nestling by the side of Lake Geneva in the shadow of huge snowcapped mountains. It's a picture postcard in real like – so what better place than here for Zeppelin to warm up for a possible British tour at the end of the year?
The town was deserted on Saturday morning, but the streets gradually filled during the afternoon until the area around the Casino was tight with fans. They'd come from all over Switzerland and from even further afield.
They packed the hall a full half-hour before the concert was due to start, and they built up a hot sweaty atmosphere that anticipates a certain feeling that something is going to happen. It happened, all right.
It happened shortly after Nobs announced – in English – that Led Zeppelin were the greatest rock and roll band in the world, a description taken for granted by many, but which suits only a few. That night Zeppelin deserved the title.
Messrs Page, Plant, Jones and Bonham ran on and zipped into their music with no hesitation. Three straight rockers open the proceedings – Rock and Roll, Black Dog and Over the Hills and Far Away, but notice how the music flows from the group naturally instead of being forced.
Misty Mountain Hop flows into Since I've Been Loving You without a stop – a complete change of rhythm and mood – that must have taken hours to perfect, and it's in this bluesy track where Page excels.
It's a well known fact that he has the technical ability to play better than most, but the feeling comes out here as well. And Plant's tortured vocals tear into the number that must be one of the best they've ever produced.
From here the set builds and builds. There's a new number, Dancing Days and there's the acoustic break for the stomping Bron-Y-Aur Stomp where Page's skills are given yet more rein.
They move into an overture (The Song Remains the Same / Rain Song) with classical overtones, a sort of orchestral piece where John Paul Jones' organ seers above the echo effects of Page's guitar and John Bonham strikes his kettle drum to add a pounding drama to the piece. It's not so much a number as a chunk of music designed to build into a cacophony of sounds.
Dazed and Confused is the next step up Zeppelin's ladder and their current version lasts well over 20 minutes. It features Page with violin bow and echo effects which only goes to underline the man's mastery with the guitar.
It's Page's trademark to swop plectrum for bow, and the effect is stunning, at the first hearing yet striking on transformed from larger than life numbers into basic rock and roll.
Stairway to Heaven follows and here Page uses a double-necked guitar to bring out the emphasis of another Zep spectacular. It's another builder that climbs so high one wonders how it can be followed. The answer is simple: Whole Lotta Love, the Zeppelin anthem that must rank as the best known hard-rock of all time.
Here the climax comes, because here Zeppelin are doing what they revel in. They've proved themselves with the complicated, sophisticated numbers and here the fun starts.
Whole Lotta Love moves through a brief history of rock and roll, with Robert Plant taking his audience through the inspiration of Zeppelin and amateurs alike: Elvis Presley.
Remember "Let's Have a Party"? Zeppelin haven't forgotten, their version sounds remarkable like the original. Remember "I Need Your Love Tonight"? Zep do. Each number flows at the drop of a hat, and you get the impression that this medley is going on forever. Remember "Heartbreak Hotel"? Jimmy Page hasn't forgotten those licks and he can reproduce them as easily as Robert Plant remembers the words.
Eventually it has to end and the closing Lotta Love riff is still echoing around the hall as the exhausted band leave the stage. Ten minutes clapping provokes an encore – Heartbreaker with that inimitable little guitar solo in the middle that Page throws at the audience using his left hand only.
Sunday's concert at Montreux followed the same pattern of Saturday's, and if anything, was better for the experience of the previous day. (C. Charlesworth, MelodyMaker, Nov. '72)

Two indicted in child death investigation
WISE COUNTY, Va. - Two people have been indicted on murder charges in the death of two-year old Emma Marie Baldwin.
We called the Wise County Commonwealth's Attorney office and learned Juwan Moore was arraigned on a capital murder charge and two counts of felony child abuse.
Emma's mother, Brandi Baldwin, faces one count of second degree murder and three counts of child abuse.
The Commonwealth's Attorney's office would not release information on the findings from a state medical examiner report, only saying they are moving forward with the charges.
On October 19 (click here to read story), the Wise County Sheriff's Department received a phone call from Pole Bridge Road about an infant not breathing. The infant, Emma Marie Baldwin, was taken to Norton Community Hospital and then transferred to Knoxville, where she died a few days later.
Brandi Baldwin and Juwan Moore are being held without bond in a regional jail.

In a move that could be called balsy or hypocritical (or even a premature April fools prank), The Pirate Bay are threatening to sue for alleged copyright infringement. This is a fascinating (if not ironic) move, given it comes from an online service who've become synomymous with copyright infringement.
It appears that anti-piracy campaign group CIAPC redesigned their website to mimic The Pirate Bay's, right down to The Piratebay's now famous pirate ship logo. Never shy to pass up a publicity opportunity, The Piratebay are loudly expressing outrage, saying that they will take CIAPC to court on the grounds that copyright theft is a "threat to economies worldwide".
A Piratebay source has even been quoted by Torrentfreak as saying that "We are outraged by this behaviour. People must understand what is right and wrong. Stealing material like this on the internet is a threat to economies worldwide.
We feel that we must make a statement and therefore we will sue them for copyright infringement. If not even IFPI and their friends can respect copyright, perhaps it's time to move on?"
Should the court case go ahead it promises to be extremely humorous, offering the Swedish online service plenty of scope to lambast CIAPC whilst generating plenty of publicity.
Publicity isn't anything new for The Pirate Bay who have been hit legislation and numerous court cases over the last 5 years. Piratebay founders were jailed in 2009 whilst access to the online service was blocked in the UK and Netherlands last year.

Shooting investigation continues in Colorado Springs
Gunshots, crashes, carjacking all part of probe
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A man who police say committed a carjacking and then crashed that car, is now under arrest.
Several witnesses told KRDO NewsChannel 13 that they heard as many as four gunshots around 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the intersection of Chelton Road and Mallard Drive. Shortly after the gunfire, a vehicle crashed and two men ran from the scene, witnesses said.
Police said not long after that incident, there were two more: A carjacking a few blocks from the scene near the intersection of Chelton and Landmark Lane, and a vehicle that crashed after running a red light at the intersection of Hancock Expressway and Union Boulevard.
Sometime during those events, police said, a man showed up at Memorial Hospital with a gunshot wound. Police are investigating the entire sequence of events to determine if they're connected.
Police said the man isn't seriously injured, but so far hasn't cooperated with them. Police also said they're looking for at least one suspect. However, police have not released the men's names.
A person involved in the crash at Hancock and Union was taken to a hospital as a precaution but wasn't seriously hurt, police said.
Tyler Rivera said he was driving on Chelton when he nearly hit one of the men running from the scene.
"He looked like he was in shock and just wanted to get away from the incident," Rivera said.
Rivera said when he saw the wrecked vehicle, he parked behind it to see if anyone needed help and saw a man standing there.
"I talked to him," said Rivera. "He said he heard gunshots. He didn't say whether he was in the car, but I think he was."
Matthew Cleaver said he was babysitting four children when he heard the gunfire.
"This is like the fifth or sixth time it's happened," he said. "I'm very concerned about living in this neighborhood now."
David Herz, a resident at the nearby Cedar Creek Club apartments, said the shooting concerns him enough that he plans to return to Los Angeles after moving here four months ago.
"It's just too much crime and drama in a small town," he said. "At least it's understandable in a big city."
Police have not yet released the name of the man arrested, but they said his injuries were not life-threatening. He was treated at a hospital and released.

Photovoltaic solar panels are getting cheaper and more efficient, but they're still not for everyone. These questions will help you decide if they make sense for your house.
Photo by Shawn O'Connor/Getty Images
There's no doubt that a solar electric system will cut your monthly utility bill. But will it save you money in the long run? That's a tricky question. The upfront costs average about $15,000 to $25,000 (after financial credits and rebates). For a lot of folks, the discussion ends right there. But for people who live in areas with lots of sun, high electricity rates and significant financial incentives, the payback period for a solar electric system can be less than five years. This article will pose five key questions to help you decide whether solar makes sense for you.
A grid-tied system includes solar panels and an inverter (or micro-inverters) that convert the direct current (DC) produced by the panels into alternating current (AC) that can be used in the house. Excess power flows back into the utility grid. If the solar system can't keep up with demand, power from the grid flows into the home.
An independent system ("off the grid") provides most or all of the electricity you need and is more common in rural areas where utility connections are expensive. These always include batteries for nighttime use and cloudy weather. Many people with off-the-grid systems also have a backup generator for emergencies.
This type of solar installation also functions as a porch roof.
Integrated Solar Design
Consider a solar installation if:
"I researched a modest
solar installation and
elected to forgo the project.
Payback was 17 years!"
Buzz Jones, Field Editor
"The cost of solar is
like prepaying your
electricity bills. You will
no longer be susceptible
to electricity price
increases, and the cost
of the system can effectively
be recouped if you
ever sell your home."
Rick Wood, Solar Energy
Consultant, Helio Power Systems
The optimal roof for a solar installation is south-facing (west is next best) with minimal shading from trees or other buildings. It should also be relatively new. Solar panels last for 30 years, so you want to install them on a roof that won't have to be replaced soon. You will need about 100 sq. ft. of roof area for every kilowatt of system size. Ground-mounted systems are also a possibility (but are more expensive than roof-mounted.)
Get a quick snapshot of the solar potential of your area on this solar resource map.
To see how much useful sunlight your area averages, go to nrel.gov/gis/solar.html and click on the photovoltaic solar resource map. Find your location and compare the color to the scale. A lower number means the financial incentives will have to be high to make your system cost-effective.
"From what I
learned in the
solar training
class I took and
what I have seen
in the real world,
a skilled DIYer
could definitely
handle an install
of a PV system.
But the price
of the systems
themselves is
the biggest cost,
not the labor."
Gary Adams, Field
Editor and Electrician

Doing the installation yourself can save you a third or more of the cost. But you'll need to take a training course and devote a lot of time to researching a potentially confusing host of options. Most areas require a licensed electrician to hook up the inverters and do the wiring. And in many states, a solar electric system must be installed by a certified professional in order to be eligible for solar tax incentives. Research local code requirements before moving forward on this project. Great Web sites for solar DIYers include builditsolar.com, trainingsolar.com and getsolar.com.
Go to findsolar.com and use the site's solar calculators. You plug in your address and it will tell you which local, state and federal rebates and tax credits are available. You'll learn how big a system you need, the roof size necessary, the estimated cost of the system, your monthly and 25-year savings, your 25-year ROI and the number of years it will take to break even.
"I have a remote cabin in northern Michigan that the local utility quoted $20,000 to run power to. I installed a PV solar system to run my lights and a pump, with a small generator backup. The system is quiet, and it cost me a lot less than what it would have taken to get grid power." Lanse LaVoy, Field Editor
"Many people enter the solar
market one foot at a time, meaning
they install a system that offsets
half of their usage and upgrade
the system as they see fit."

Sizing a PV system is complex, and you should consult a certified solar electrical contractor for help in determining an appropriate system type and size as well as to get a cost estimate. Visit eere.energy.gov for more sizing information and find-solar.org to find a contractor near you.
Here are some factors to consider before doing the calculations:
Your goals. Do you want to reduce the amount of electricity you buy from your utility or completely replace the power you get from the grid?
Your electricity needs. Check your electric bills and figure out your average annual electricity usage.The more energy efficient your home and the more you can reduce household power consumption, the smaller and less expensive your solar system will be.
Roof-mounted panels: Most common installation in urban and suburban areas. For every 1 kW of power generated, you'll need 100 sq. ft. of roof.
Ground-mounted: Used when roof-mounted panels aren't feasible. Additional racking, trenching and mounting equipment add to the cost, and neighbors may object to the appearance of the system.
Integrated into a shade structure such as an awning. This gives you active solar electricity and passive solar shading. May not generate as much electricity, and is more expensive than roof-mounted panels.
Building-integrated PV array: The panels are incorporated into the roofing materials, which then look like standing seam metal roofs, slate tiles and three-tab shingle strips. The most expensive but least visually intrusive installation.
Costs vary widely depending on location and the specific installation. An average cost for a typical 5-kW system, at $7 per watt, would be about $35,000. Solar rebates could reduce this cost significantly. Prices are slowly coming down, especially in California, where state incentives have driven the cost of PV-generated electricity to below 11¢ per kWh. But in other places around the country, it's still likely to be a fairly long payback.
Run the numbers:
How to calculate your payback (a thumbnail method): Add up the materials and labor costs and subtract any rebates. Add in any annual costs such as maintenance (minimal), additional insurance and interest payments. Then subtract any tax breaks. Now multiply the actual annual electricity generated in kWh by the cost you would normally have to pay your utility for those kWh of electricity (and the cost will undoubtedly rise each year). Subtract the savings. Continue to do this for subsequent years until the number becomes negative. This is the payback period. If you have a payback of eight years, great. The PV system should last for 30, so you will have 22 years of saving money on your electricity bill.
"If you live on the coasts where
electrical costs are high, then
solar might make sense. It usually
doesn't make economic sense in the
Midwest, where power is around
7 to 8 cents a kilowatt-hour."
Dave Youngblood, Field Editor and Senior

Tiger volleyball wins Homecoming game
The Tigers defeated the Pillager Huskies three games to one for the Tigers' homecoming Friday, Oct. 12. The Tigers came back to win the first game after being down 7-15 thanks to a six-point run including three kills by Megan Felthous and one kill by Journee Howard. The Tigers won on a kill by Liz Downie 25-22. The second game wasn't as close as the Tigers jumped out to a 7-3 lead, and solidified their lead a bit later with a seven-point run including kills by Felthous, Brittany Kelley and Allison Holm, and an ace serve by Felthous. The Tigers took four-game points to finally get the win 25-16.
The third game didn't go well for the Tigers as they were ahead 13-7 when they let the Huskies rally to take the lead 14-13. The Tigers tied it, but the Huskies answered with a four-point run and the Tigers were unable to rally as they took the loss 21-25. The fourth game had the same score as the third, only in favor of the Tigers. The Huskies got an early lead 4-1, the Tigers came back and took the lead 10-6, and the Huskies tied it 10-10. With the game tied 14 all the Tigers went on a four-point run including two kills by Kelley and that was enough to keep the Huskies from coming back as the Tigers won 25-21.
Stats: Journee Howard 11 kills, 33 set assists, 4 digs. Meg Stevenson 2 ace serves, 1 kill, 2 blocks. Nicole Arends 3 digs. Allison Holm 3 kills. Kelsey Schwartz 1 block. Liz Downie 5 ace serves, 9 kills. Brittany Kelley 2 ace serves, 9 kills, 2 blocks, 1 dig. Kayla Adkins 1 kill, 1 block. Callie Tilbury 1 ace serve. Megan Felthous 2 ace serves, 17 kills, 3 blocks, 2 set assists, 7 digs. Lexi Smith 3 digs.
Tigers fall to Patriots
The Tigers suffered a hard loss to the Pequot Lakes Patriots on Thursday, Oct. 11, in Pine River. The Tigers came out on fire and took the first two games only to lose the three after that and in the end lose the match. In the first game Pequot was ahead 10-7 when the Tigers rallied with an 11-point run with four ace serves by Felthous, a kill by Howard, and a kill by Kelley. The Tigers never looked back as they won the game 25-16. The second game was a bit closer as the Patriots had tied it 19-19 when the Tigers answered with a five-point run including two more ace serves by Felthous. The Tigers came away with the win 25-20. And that was the last game the Tigers won.
The third game was dominated by Pequot as they defeated the Tigers 25-15. Pequot got an early lead 7-2 and the Tigers were unable to rally. The fourth game was slightly closer as the Tigers did manage to tie it a couple times, but they still lost 18-25. The Tigers had eight kills to Pequot's 13. The fifth game was easily handled by Pequot as the Tigers went down early 1-4 and took the loss 10-15.
Stats: Journee Howard 3 kills, 2 blocks, 24 set assists, 5 digs. Meg Stevenson 3 digs. Nicole Arends 1 kill, 1 dig. Kelsey Schwartz 2 digs. Liz Downie 2 ace serves, 7 kills, 1 block, 9 digs. Brittany Kelley 1 ace serve, 8 kills, 6 blocks, 1 set assist, 9 digs. Megan Felthous 6 ace serves, 10 kills, 8 digs. Lexi Smith 5 digs.
Tigers 3, Clearbrook 1
The Tigers edged out the Clearbook-Gonvick Bears in their first of four home matches to end out the regular season. The Tigers lost the first game 16-25, and it seemed to give them the fight to win the next three. In the second game the Tigers were ahead 9-7 when they went on a five-point run including two ace serves by Kelsey Schwartz and a kill by Kelley to strengthen their lead. The Tigers won 25-17. In the third game the Tigers again took an early lead 7-3, and that was all it took as they maintained their lead to win 25-22. The fourth game was very close, going into extra points as the teams battled it out to the finish. Clearbrook got an early lead 7-4, and the Tigers clawed their way back to take over the lead 15-14. The game was tied eight times after that as both teams fought hard to take the win. The Tigers got the first chance at the game point as they were ahead 24-23, but the Bears got a kill to tie it and went ahead on another kill for the second chance at the game point. The Tigers held off the game point on a kill by Felthous, went ahead by one on a violation by Clearbrook, and won the game 27-25. The Tigers' last match of the regular season will have taken place Tuesday, Oct. 16, in a conference match against the Walker-Hackensack-Akeley Wolves. The Tigers are now 14-6 overall.
Stats: Journee Howard 3 kills, 27 set assists, 1 ace serve, 1 block, 4 digs. Meg Stevenson 1 kill, 4 digs. Nicole Arends 1 dig. Allison Holm 1 dig. Kelsey Schwartz 2 ace serves. Liz Downie 7 kills, 5 digs. Brittany Kelley 17 kills, 1 set assist, 9 digs, and 2 blocks. Megan Felthous 8 kills, 1 set assist, 1 ace serve, 7 digs, 1 block. Lexi Smith 7 digs.

Eduardo v Burnley (H) 05-08-2009
Over the years, Arsenal has had plenty of players who could score goals. But there is a special category for natural finishers. In 2010/11, Robin van Persie picked up that moniker after scoring 18 league goals after the New Year. And Ian Wright was the Club's all-time leading scorer – until a guy named Thierry Henry came around.
And then there was Eduardo. His Arsenal career was far too short, but this goal sums up why he belongs with the aforementioned company.
While Henry did much of his damage outside the area, Eduardo was simply a predator inside the box. Find him with a cross, a pass or a knockdown and the chances are he would find the back of the net.
And similar to Henry's backheel against Charlton, this goal was a perfect piece of improvisation.
In a fifth round FA Cup match-up against Burnley, Arsenal took a one-goal lead in the first half and were again piling on the pressure after the re-start. Bacary Sagna, Alex Song and Abou Diaby linked up but the midfielder was dispossessed by Kevin McDonald just inside the box.
Andrey Arshavin sprinted to the corner to retrieve the ball and laid it off for Kieran Gibbs. The left back then slid the ball back to Song in the middle.
Song looked up and floated a perfect pass towards Eduardo, who had peeled away towards the far post. But as the ball arrived, the Croatian had little time to adjust his feet. The goal poacher that he was, Eduardo he improvised. With a flick of the left heel, Eduardo knocked the ball past Burnley keeper Brian Jensen.
If there was ever a text book example of 'cheeky finish' this was it. And it proved once and for all that Eduardo was as good as ever after his injury nightmare.

Where I stayed
Hotel Uni Palas Kavadarci
Read my review - 4/5 stars
Read my review - 4/5 stars
The feel of the Tikves region is also quite the contrast coming from Thessaloniki, from a big cosmopolitan city to a rural region that is just only discovering how to market its over 2000 years of viticulture experience to the masses. Talking to locals, it seems like every family in the region makes their own wine ... I wonder if this is what BC's Okanagan may have been like decades ago, when wine was mostly produced for personal enjoyment, before locals realized they could make crap loads of money off of it?
You can see some signs of money being poured into development - the perfect example is the Hotel Pamela, where I spent the night
I completely missed the hotel on the way in to town last night, as it is tucked in behind a massive gas station of the same name, with a Pamela tour bus parked directly out front. Not only that, but the receptionist told me that the hotel also had its own winery, offering me up a glass to try, and also sending me on my way with a bottle of chardonnay as a gift! I don't know who Pamela is, but it looks like she's building herself quite the empire in Negotino!
But the most interesting and brash display of an infusion of money was last night during dinner, when I was sitting outside the pizzeria, happily munching away, when a brand new Maserati rolled by! You always hear stories of rampant organized crime in these recently-born Eastern European nations - would anyone from such a small town with legitimate business interests have a car like that? Things that make you go hmmm ...
Before moving on to Kavadarci, the next little wine town in the region, I headed up the road to the Bovin Winery, the biggest in Negotino
He did a surprisingly good job, especially considering that he wasn't the normal person working the tasting room. Where he especially excelled was in his tasting sizes - though I was only given one red and one white to try, each pour was at least half a glass. Between that and the glass I was given at Hotel Pamela this morning, I'd already consumed over two glasses - all before 11:30 AM ... I think an enjoyable time will be had in Tikves ...
Before leaving Bovin, three soldiers decked out in camouflage came in to search the tasting
room, with bomb-sniffing dogs - turns out the VIP was extra important, a government minister. Perhaps if I had stuck around, maybe they would've made me the Canadian Special Minister of Macedonian Wine, who's sole role is to keep drinking all this fabulous local vino?
The next stop on the wine tour was at the Tikves Winery, the biggest in not only Macedonia, bu also in all of South Eastern Europe
Each pour was also extremely generous, a half glass - combined with the two glasses from the morning, I was on track for six glasses before 3 PM! Already feeling the effects after the first few wines at the restaurant, I stopped finishing them - had I downed them all, there was only a very small chance that I would be able to successfully walk back to the hotel without getting hit by a bus!
There truly are some excellent wines on offer in the region, including the Vranec, a variety indigenous to the region, a white made from grapes native to Georgia, and a rose that had a delicious honey flavour. Particularly enjoyable were the ones from Bovin, as I distinctly remembered what those ones tasted like - unfortunately, by the time I made it to number six or seven overall at the Tikves Winery, the wine was really kicking in, and everything started to taste the same!
