The family and friends of a man killed by Gardena police officers have accused the city and several members of its Police Department, including Chief Ed Medrano, of civil rights violations and excessive force, according to a claim filed this week.
The documents filed late Wednesday in Gardena City Hall allege the officers who shot and killed Ricardo Diaz-Zeferino on June 2 were "negligent in their duties as law enforcement officers, negligent in the manner in which they used force, and this negligence caused the harm, pain and suffering, and emotional distress."
The claim also accuses the three officers at the scene of assault and battery against Diaz-Zeferino and his companions, Jose Amado-Garcia and Eutiquio Acevedo-Mendez.
According to the claim, Acevedo-Mendez was shot in the back and "suffered permanent injuries."
Furthermore, it alleges Medrano knew about a pattern of excessive force used by the same three officers connected to the shooting of Diaz-Zeferino.
Amado-Garcia and Acevedo-Mendez, as well as the family of Diaz-Zeferino, are seeking an undisclosed amount in monetary damages.
With the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department conducting an investigation into the officer-involved shooting, the Gardena Police Department issued a measured response Thursday to the claim.
"We are aware that the city has been provided a notice of claim relative to the officer-involved shooting which occurred on June 2, 2013, in the city of Gardena," said Lt. Steve Prendergast, the Gardena police spokesman, in a emailed statement. "We take seriously the allegations of excessive force on the part of members of our city and we are conducting a thorough investigation into the allegations made by the claimant. Due to the pending litigation, we are unable to provide a statement at this time."
The names of the officers involved in the shooting have not been released by the department and did not appear in the lawsuit. The three cops were placed on administrative leave, but have since returned to "full duty," according to the department.
"We could file a California public records act request asking the department to release the names of the cops, but there is a provision in the law that says if they are part of pending litigation the department doesn't have to turn over the names," said Samuel Paz, the attorney for Diaz-Zeferino's family and the two other men who joined in the claim against the city.
Diaz-Zeferino, Acevedo-Mendez and Amado-Garcia were on their way home when a bike belonging to a fourth man, Augustin De Jesus Reynoso, was stolen in front of the CVS Pharmacy at the corner of West Redondo Beach Boulevard and Western Avenue.
Diaz-Zeferino, who was on foot, and Acevedo-Mendez and Amado-Garcia, who were on their bicycles, began searching the area around the CVS for the bike when the three encountered Gardena police officers in front of the Carrows Restaurant at 1638 W. Redondo Beach Blvd. The police were heading to the scene after the CVS store security guard called 9-1-1 to report the stolen bicycle.
Initial reports from the Gardena Police Department indicate the officers thought Acevedo-Mendez and Amado-Garcia were the suspects who had stolen De Jesus Reynoso's bicycle.
Diaz-Zeferino ran toward the cops, who had drawn their weapons on Amado-Garcia and Acevedo-Mendez.
One witness said the man was waving his hands in the air and yelling to the cops in English that Acevedo-Mendez and Amado-Garcia were not suspects but, in fact, two friends who were searching for the stolen bike.
The officers shot Diaz-Zeferino, a Gardena cook, eight times. Two of the shots struck him in the back.
The Sheriff's Department was not available for comment. But when the department concludes its investigation, it will present its findings to the District Attorney's Office, which will decide whether to file criminal charges against the officers.

A common lichen of Florida scrub: Powder-puff deer lichen
Description: Consisting of two parts, squamulose1 primary thallus,2 and an erect fruticose structure called podetia.3 Squamules small to medium. Podetia small to large. Pale greenish- gray to white to yellowish upper surface. Apothecia4 or soredia5 present. Never isidiate.6 Apothecia brown or red or tan. Spot tests7 various. Unique features: Sometimes intricately webbed as in C. evansii.So you see, it's as simple as that. Fortunately, Green Deane over at eattheweeds.com has a good write-up of C. evansii here, including the various ways people have prepared it for eating and drinking, in case you need a break from the technical jargon (I know I do!). The U.S. Forest Service has a very long page devoted to the Cladonia group of lichens, although they don't include the southern-dwelling C. evansii in the list (they focus on its northern cousin, C. rangiferina). What they describe, though, helps me wrap my head around the anatomy of the lichens in this group. From their write-up of Cladonia:
The lichen body, or thallus, is a composite structure of fungal and green algal cells. The primary reindeer lichen thallus is prostrate and squamulose (comprised of scaly, flaky, rounded pieces). The secondary thallus (podetium) is more conspicuous, being upright and fruticose. Fruticose forms are three-dimensional and have been described as shrubby and/or stringy. Podetia are hollow, highly branched, and capable of trapping wind-blown algae. They grow upward at the tip and die back at the base, similarly to sphagnum and other mosses. The spore-producing fungal bodies (apothecia) are produced at the tips of the podetia.Anyway, what we need to know here is that the puffy part of the powder-puff deer lichen is the secondary thallus or podetium. It's the rounded bit that forms the powderpuff part of the organism. The primary thallus is the horizontally growing inconspicuous bit. Other lichens have other growth forms: folicose (leaf-like, as in the lichen on the cabbage palm near the top of this post); fruticose (shrubby), like the one we're talking about here; and crustose (crusty). Here's a close-up of one of the clumps where you can get a better view of the podetia, so you can see how they grow in an "intricate web" as noted by Rosentreter and colleagues: There's a related species of lichen here in Florida, Cladonia subtenuis, that looks very similar, but the tips of the fruticose bits are less compact. A third species, C. perforata, also exists here and is endangered. It's restricted to the high, well-drained sands of rosemary scrub in Florida; I suspect it exists on some sites here in southern Palm Beach County, but I haven't found it yet—the closest known site is Jupiter Ridge Natural Area. According to an information page from the Archbold Biological Station, "C. perforata was the first species of lichen to ever become federally listed as an endangered in the United States. C. perforata differs developmentally from other fruticose lichens, by having its branches derived from spore-producing structures called apothecia, rather than from the primary body (USFWS 1999)." Lichens tend to grow on trees or rocks or in areas that are, at least seasonally, so hot, sterile, dry, or otherwise inhospitable that nothing else can make a go of it. In polar and subpolar areas, they can even comprise the dominant autotroph (self-feeding organism, usually translates as "plant," although only the algal partner in a lichen can be considered a plant in any strict sense). In this case, they actually grow on the sand. Or, actually, on a soil crust. What's a soil crust? Well, my friend, that is a deep rabbit hole indeed. If you're going to go down there, here is a description from the Archbold Biological Station's website (emphasis added):
Biological soil crusts. In drier regions of the world, soil microorganisms form what are known as biological soil crusts. Because of their hidden nature, these crusts have been termed cryptogamic, cryptobiotic and microbiotic. Crusts are created when soil organisms cause the uppermost layer of soil to solidify into a single, cohesive layer. The "glue" that holds the soil together is made up of the living organisms themselves together with the sticky substances they excrete and leave behind as they move through the dry soil. Biological soil crusts are a well-known feature of deserts in the southwestern United States and have only recently been recognized in the southeast. Crusts in Florida scrub are unique because they occur in a wet climate where dry conditions are caused by rapid drainage of water through sandy soils.See how far a simple nature walk can take you? I'll have to read a lot more about soil crusts before I can do justice to them here.

PHOENIX - The sharp defeat of an Arizona ballot measure to exempt more business equipment from property taxes has backers working on how and when to try again.
But one thing is clear: Next time, it's going to need real money.
On the surface, the issue is basic.
Businesses, like homeowners, pay annual property taxes on land and buildings. But businesses also pay an annual levy based on the value of all their equipment, from huge presses to filing cabinets and chairs.
Voters previously approved a constitutional amendment to provide a $50,000 exemption, a figure that, with inflation, has risen to about $68,000.
Proposition 116, which was defeated on Nov. 6, would have altered that formula, tying it to average salaries. Projections are that would have taken the exemption immediately to about $2.4 million.
The proposal was so popular that it was placed on the ballot with bipartisan support. But it was that popularity, coupled with the lack of any organized opposition, that was its undoing, said its organizer, Farrell Quinlan, Arizona director of the National Federation of Independent Business.
"People would say, 'If it's the feel-good proposition of the cycle, why should I give money to you?' " Quinlan said.
Oh, and there was one more thing: Businesses were focused - and spending their money - on their successful efforts to defeat Proposition 204, the proposal to create a permanent one-cent surcharge on the state sales tax for education and other priorities.
"There were other things we were competing with," Quinlan said.
Glenn Hamer, president of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry, put it more succinctly, saying: "204 sucked all the oxygen out of the room as far as revenues went."
The result is that Quinlan had just $60,000 to spend. And that got him to just 44 percent of the vote.
"We probably needed to spend 10 times that just to get a shot at 50 percent," he said.
The problem, he said, is that while lawmakers understand the issue, voters do not.
The levy is officially on what's known as "business personal property." That did not poll well.
"Using the words 'personal property' brought a 2-to-1 against, with a large number of undecided," Quinlan said.
He managed to get to 50-50 in a survey by phrasing the campaign on the issue of "equipment and machinery." But that did no good, as there were still many people unsure. And the general consensus is that when people are undecided by the time they vote, they side against a measure.
Quinlan produced several commercials that also were used in polling.
"When we were able to make our pitch to the voters, they were 2-to-1 in favor," Quinlan said.
But, other than in polling, he never got to make that pitch, as there was no money for the kind of broad-based campaign necessary.
The change remains a priority for members of the business and economic development communities.
That's because jobs in the manufacturing sector, in general, pay better than service jobs such as clerks and call-center help. But the tax on equipment, levied year after year, becomes a disincentive for manufacturers to locate or expand here.
Both Quinlan and Hamer are sure this is not the end of the issue.
Hamer pointed out that it was state Sen. Andy Biggs, R-Gilbert, who sponsored the measure to put the issue on the ballot. And Biggs will be Senate president for the next two years.
Quinlan said he's adopting a wait-and-see attitude.
The next chance to put this before voters is 2014. That means there is no need for legislative action this coming year.
He said a lot of the decision of how and when to proceed will depend on analyzing the overall political and economic situation in Arizona.
"There could be another charge up the hill," Hamer said. And this time, he said, business interests won't ignore the pleas for money.
"Without something like 204 on the ballot, I would expect there to be the resources," Hamer said.

Donn Selkowitz has opened *ndulge, a dessert cafe, with kosher sweets, in Bryn Mawr.
Call it a gimmick, but it seems to be working. You really can't pass by the shiny new storefront in Bryn Mawr without a sideways glance. That's because parked right in front of the chocolate-cream-pie-colored building is a delivery vehicle with a giant cupcake fastened to the roof.
It's actually more of a complete head-turner.
But Donn Selkowitz, the owner of the dessert cafe, knows a thing or two about promotions; he has spent a career in public relations and advertising, and owned an ad agency for 25 years in Rochester, N.Y. Now, at age 62, he wants to concentrate on something his mother taught him: the art of baking, and doing it well.
He opened his first store, *ndulge, in State College, Pa., his college alma mater town. It lasted from May 2010 until December 2012, when he and his wife decided to relocate to the Philadelphia suburbs. Two of their three daughters live here, as well as a baby granddaughter and one of Selkowitz's brothers.
"We were an artistic success" there, he says, "but we needed a larger pool of people."
He found his current location and opened for business on March 14.
All of the baking — as well as the making of a daily selection of 20 different types of homemade gelato, some dairy-free — is done on the premises. The only beverage served is coffee. The icing on the gourmet cupcakes? The food is kosher dairy, certified by Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner of TKS, Traditional Kosher Supervision.
Selkowitz grew up in an Orthodox home in McKeesport, Pa., about 20 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, which at the time, he says, supported two Orthodox shuls, one Conservative synagogue and a Reform one. His mother cooked everything from scratch, he explained, and even kashered her own meat.
"My mother was beyond outstanding as a cook and spoiled her four sons," he says. "She made homemade cheese pockets and homemade salt sticks. She made strudel for my Bar Mitzvah that you could read through. At Penn State, I could have sold my care packages, they were that good. She's my inspiration."
He wanted his products kosher because he says "it's difficult for observant Jews to find something this delicious that they can eat" ready-made. Customers can sit at cafe tables or get items packaged up for home. Selkowitz did note that because the items are not pareve and because *ndulge is open seven days a week, it may not be kosher enough for some. But in the same breath he also noted a strict policy of no outside food allowed through the doors.
Selkowitz says he always dabbled in cooking, that it was a form of relaxation and he relished the immediate feedback he got from a good dish. You could see it on people's faces — the love, he says.
That's why he trademarked not only the name of his store, but its slogan: "Live well. Die happy."
"A cupcake is a little reward, an indulgence," he says.
But it's not as easy as it seems. "A good vanilla cupcake is one of the hardest things to make. There are a lot of ways to go wrong. We take our craft seriously … not ourselves," he quips, "but the craft."
The store offers a menu of eight to 11 oversized cupcakes that change daily. The signature flavor — and best-seller — is the Peanut Butter Cup. The Root Beer Float is also fun, says Selkowitz, and the Salted Caramel gelato just scrumptious.
A limited number of blintzes, whoopie pies and cinnamon buns can also be found behind the glass cases, and custom baking is offered, including gluten-free. Selkowitz hopes to introduce sweet kugel, another reminder of his mother, Rose.
He's also set to open another storefront next month in Manayunk; the items will be brought in from the Bryn Mawr site.
"We've been very pleased; the reception people have given us is outstanding. The retail business is not easy," he acknowledges, but the work has its rewards. After all, he says, "bakeries are happy places."

text: Hello, I am in the process of upgrading all of my 9.0 to 9.1 and I have been finding some RANDOM issues with the network cards (they are all the same computer). I had a little extra time in my hands last night and I kind of figured out the issue. Sometime the network manager configures the cards with the wrong values when using static IPs, for example after I set: - IP: 192.168.1.28 - NetMask: 255.255.255.0 - Router: 192.168.1.1 the rc.conf entry looked like this: - defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" - ifconfig_bg0="192.168.1.26 netmask 192.168.1.1" I then checked the network manager thinking I miss-typed the value (it was still open), I clicked "apply", "save" and re-opened rc.conf only to see that the configuration was still wrong. ( Once closed and re-opened, the network manager it started to configure correctly, but not every time. ) I manually changed the entry to have the correct netmask, restarted the network via the network manager, and still no luck, restarted computer, but still I was not able to ping 192.168.1.1. I then changed network card like I have done on other computers, reconfigure it, changed cable and switch.. but still nothing. I then run sysinstall, and configured the network. I noticed that the values entered where not automatically recognized, so i typed them again, I told to bring the interface UP using the same values, and it worked. I went into rc.conf and noticed that the ifconfig_bg0 line was a little different, instead than ifconfig_bg0="192.168.1.26 netmask 255.255.255.0" it was ifconfig_bg0="inet 192.168.1.26 netmask 255.255.255.0" I am not sure what difference is but I went back to other computers that had network issues with bg0, changed the ifconfig to have "inet" in it and everything start to work on those as well. The problem is not isolated only to bg0, also em0 sometime doesn't work without the inet in it, as well as vl0 (I believe that is the code). Maybe network manager should automatically add inet to the rc.conf line ? Fabry

New York (UPI) Jul 4, 2012
A survey of 192 U.S. executives indicates 42 percent say the global economic environment was their biggest source of risk, while 27 percent say social media.
"Social media wasn't even on the radar a few years ago, and we're now seeing it ranked among the top sources of risk, on the same level as financial risk," Henry Ristuccia, a partner in Deloitte & Touche LLP and co-leader of Deloitte's Governance and Risk Management services, said in a statement.
The Deloitte and Forbes Insights survey found the majority of respondents anticipated the global economic environment will remain the greatest source of risk through 2015, 30 percent said regulatory changes and 27 percent said social media would increasingly be a source of risk.
"The rise of social media is just another contributor to the volatile risk environment companies are being forced to navigate," Ristuccia said in a statement. "The current marketplace seems to require that organizations be nimble in their risk assessment approach, whether it's dealing with what employees post on social networks, or how they're coping with regulatory changes or taking advantage of the opportunities rewarded risks can create."
Despite advances in risk-related technologies, the survey found automation tools and tools used for continuously monitoring risk were underutilized. Most risk monitoring was done periodically, on a monthly, quarterly, biannual or annual basis, Ristuccia said.
The executive surveyed are with companies whose annual revenue ranges from $5 million to $20 billion.
No further survey details were provided.

PBS Commissioner Winstead Addresses 2006 Energy Expo
As prepared for delivery
Remarks by
David Winstead
Public Buildings Service
Energy 2006
Chicago, IL
August 7, 2006
Thank you Rick [KLIMKOS] for the kind introduction and I would like to welcome you to Energy 2006. I would also like to recognize our cosponsors—the Departments of Energy and Veterans Affairs for their contributions to what I am sure will be a very successful event. And a special thank you to our private sector vendors who are participating in the exposition. As a cosponsor this event, GSA supports the federal energy management community as it faces today's challenges and looks forward to sharing our strategies for success with you.
Serious energy challenges confront us today. It can seem that each one competes for our attention as the most urgent crisis demanding an immediate response. I am sure you are familiar with them but I would like to discuss a few of these challenges today.
First, our appetite for energy consumption is increasing as we increase the number of people in our buildings, as we work longer hours, and as we depend more and more on electronic office equipment to accomplish our missions.
The once predictable energy industry is experiencing unprecedented price volatility with consumers being asked to take on greater and greater responsibility to manage price risk, reduce physical constraints in distribution and transmission systems, and to ensure their own power reliability and security requirements are met though their own investments. All consumers are experiencing historically high commodity price points, which can significantly impact utility budgets if you happen to be in the market buying significant amounts of power at the wrong time.
Capital for investment is more difficult to obtain: in the private sector because of increasing cost of capital—in the federal government because of the budget pressures that all federal agencies are facing. The power we use to accomplish our missions is currently less dependable and more subject to extensive outages due to a combination of extreme weather, both in terms of historic temperatures and violent storm systems, aging energy infrastructure and increasing demand by customers which is outstripping new energy capacity.
As federal agencies we have a mandate to procure renewable energy which may have a price premium associated with it. Unfortunately, we cannot pick and choose one or another of these problems to individually respond to. They are all linked to together and therefore must be addressed through a comprehensive energy management program.
An example of one recent incident that exposed the extent of our energy vulnerabilities was Hurricane Katrina. It was the perfect storm in more ways than one. It had a devastating impact on our Nation's energy infrastructure, which, in turn, had ramifications beyond the immediate impact area. In response to this event, on September 6th, 2005, President Bush issued a directive to the heads of executive departments and agencies directing them to take appropriate actions to conserve natural gas, electricity, gasoline, and diesel fuel at their facilities to the maximum extent possible and to be diligent in the pursuit of energy conservation. While the energy sector was trying to recover, the President said "it was important that the Federal Government lead by example and further contribute to the relief effort by reducing its own fuel use during this difficult time."
While GSA and other federal agencies responded enthusiastically to this directive with a number of steps including working with our tenant agencies to take simple steps to reduce energy consumption, reviewing our internal facilities operations and projects where we could make a quick impact, a reading of current events reveals that challenges to our energy sector remain. Just as recently as a few weeks ago, large parts of California and New York were struggling to keep their electricity grids operational. As a result, millions of customers were either without power, could not depend on the reliability of that power, were asked to reduce their usage and probably paying historically high prices for that power.
As the largest single energy consumer of energy in the US, the federal community must maintain its commitment to sound energy management now more than ever before. That is why the need for this conference is so important. As the government's landlord, GSA takes this responsibility seriously.
So, what do we do?
Surprisingly, the answer is fairly simple. We avoid using energy if at all possible. If we use energy, we use as little as possible and as efficiently as we can. Finally, we pay no more than we have to for that energy by using smart strategies and employing innovative methods of procurement.
How do you avoid using energy?
You ensure you design the most efficient buildings using age-old principles that reduce heat load where you don't want it or increase heat load where you do want. In essence, you put the forces of nature to work for you and not against you. In San Francisco, for example, GSA is constructing a remarkable new federal building that minimizes its energy consumption by taking advantage of favorable local conditions. This building is designed to self ventilate its occupants through a rather simple movement of airflow not from air handling and cooling coils units but natural ventilation. That is an example of avoiding energy use. The design of this building takes advantage of, and is very sensitive, to the low humidity and moderate temperatures of the Bay area. Simply put, its design is a good fit with its location. At the opposite extreme, you don't construct a building design that ignores the local environment. For example, traditional building designs in the Southwest have few windows or openings on a South facing wall. This building design principally reduces solar heat gain and therefore, reduces the size and complexity of your air-conditioning plant. Again, you avoid the need to consume energy.
How do you use less energy?
You closely examine how much energy your building systems and energy using equipment consume in performing their function. You calculate the cost of that energy consumption and compare it to the cost of operating alternative types of systems and products. If the savings-to-investment ratio is positive, you perform a system retrofit and/or procure and use efficient ENERGY STAR rated products for energy intensive appliances and office equipment.
An example of using less energy would be replacing existing office lights with more efficient fixtures that use less energy, but produce a better quality of light. You need lighting in office buildings but you may have more opportunities than you realize to maximize light output with minimal energy usage. Another way is using energy-efficient equipment, such as: flat screen monitors that use less energy. GSA has avoided using energy where proven cost effective by investing $58 million in fiscal year 2005 and 2006.
How do you use energy more wisely?
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 requires federal agencies to develop an advanced metering plan and install in all appropriate buildings by the year 2012. GSA has received funding for a significant portion of the investment, and we are using an analytical software program nationwide to collect, archive, analyze, and report energy consumption in real time for buildings. We are aiming to use this system to control our buildings' energy usage at critical times when it is most beneficial to the local grid and cost savings are maximized to corresponding effort to reduce. We hope to use renewable onsite power generation devices to further reduce our energy use. Case in point, GSA is replacing the existing roof of the National Archives and Records Administration's storage facility in Waltham, Massachusetts, with an integrated photovoltaic roofing product. This system, which is also known as a "cool roof," reduces the heat effect and actually feeds power back to the local utility grid when produced in excess of the building's need, of course, at a credit to GSA's utility bill.
How can we get the best deal for energy?
Many utility companies and electricity system operators offer financial incentives to customers that can better manage their load profile. GSA has included implicit demand response language in its aggregated power contracts competitively awarded in deregulated markets. Our Energy Center provides a daily alert system to all customers notifying them of potentially lucrative opportunities to shed load. If you are one of the 40 federal agencies or non-governmental organizations on these contracts you know what I am talking about already. If you don't know about these contracts, please seek out our Energy Group's booth on the convention floor for more information. GSA buildings and other federal agencies on these contracts are realizing cost avoidance savings, greater budget stability and comprehensive demand response planning. In fact, many other customers are learning from our practices. A recent news article described how Maryland's Department of General Services recently saved more than seven million dollars on an electricity supply contract it awarded through an online auction. A company in Massachusetts, World Energy Exchange, was taped by the state to run the electronic procurement. This company runs reverse auctions in which multiple sellers submit bids to supply a commodity specified by the buyer. In Maryland, the savings stem from the cost differential between the bids obtained through the online energy auction and the published utility rates in various Maryland service territories, according to World Energy. The article went on to say that the company's government business began about six years ago with the General Services Administration and continues today. GSA uses this process not only for electricity but has conducted large-scale natural gas reverse auctions for our Natural Gas Acquisition Program.
Unfortunately, energy prices remain at historically high levels as a result of increased demand and other factors. While utilities attempt to mitigate some of those increases through long-term contracting and hedging—deregulation and pass-through fuel cost adjustments have exposed utility consumers directly to energy markets. Future GSA utility budget forecasts reflect these conditions. Other than near-term weakness in natural gas prices, we do not see any factors at work in the market that would point towards lower prices in the future for any energy commodity and most factors would tend to increase prices over time.
Let's look a single utility sector—electricity as an example. We are particularly vulnerable to price increases because 46 percent of our annual usage is in states that have deregulated their markets. We have in place electric supply contracts for FY 2008 in major east coast cities—Washington, DC, Chicago and Boston. For FY 2008, cities such as Baltimore, the Maryland suburbs outside of Washington, DC, San Francisco, New York, Dallas and Houston will be affected by new contracts pending future competition. We also anticipate that electric prices will increase in regulated markets to reflect increases in fuel costs—coal, oil and natural gas—as well as infrastructure investments. Our Energy Center anticipates potential increases in the range of 4-5 percent.
Based on specific and general price increases anticipated across the nation, we estimate that GSA will expend approximately $290 million for electricity for FY2008 on consumption of 2.90 billion kilowatt hours. This would represent an increase in FY2008 over previous FY2007 budget projections of some $34 million we made just 6 months ago. Just like filling up your car at the gas station, nothing grabs your attention more than paying more for something that you desperately need and were accustom to paying a lot less for. I am happy to report GSA is currently showing a –3.5 percent reduction in energy consumption over the new 2003 baseline established in the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Just imagine what our energy cost would be if we had not reduced consumption by that amount.
As I close, I hope that I have not painted too bleak of a picture today, but I think it is important to know what we as federal facility managers are facing as we procure and manage energy in our buildings. GSA is proud of it mission of providing high-quality workplaces to federal customer agencies at best economies to the taxpayer. And part of this mission is procuring utilities to those same federal agencies in the most cost-effective and environmentally responsible manner. Our commitment is to offer strategic energy management programs that will result in increased net operating income and enhanced asset value of real properties. This includes utilizing a comprehensive energy management program, improving our energy management capabilities, the energy performance of our buildings but also assisting our customers find the right solutions to their energy issues, either by using our GSA schedules and or taking advantage of the energy expertise we maintain in-house. While we feel confident in our current strategies, we are constantly exploring new methods of facility management in other core mission programs such as the WorkPlace 20-20/Program of Requirements or POR+ programs, working with customers to develop their initial workplace requirements, and our flagship programs of Design and Construction Excellence, as well as a commitment to sustainable design that will keep us on the cutting edge of building performance and getting you that best value.
I want to thank you for listening. I hope all of you continue to share ideas and practices and make the best use of your time at Energy 2006.

Santo Domingo (AFP) Dec 13, 2007
The toll from Tropical Storm Olga's Caribbean rampage Thursday rose to 25 confirmed deaths, most in the Dominican Republic.
The worst hit was Santiago, the second largest city in the Dominican Republic, where 17 deaths were reported after rising waters forced authorities to release water from a dam into the already swollen Yaque river.
Most of the victims drowned in the floodwaters, authorities said.
A further five fatalities were reported elsewhere in the country.
Emergency shelters on Thursday housed a total of 6,215 people, while a further 28,265 people were forced to stay with friends or relatives, according to Juan Manuel Mendez, who heads the country's Emergency Operations Center.
Almost 7,600 homes were damaged and 137 communities were cut off by the storm and the rains that continued to pound the country well after the cyclone headed out to sea and dissipated.
In Haiti, which shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic, Tropical Storm Olga killed at least two people, destroyed homes and uprooted trees, authorities said earlier.
In Puerto Rico, one man was killed Wednesday when his car was buried under a landslide near San Juan.
Olga's rampage came almost two weeks after the Atlantic hurricane season officially ended. It is rare for tropical storms to form after the November 30 end of the six-month season.
The Dominican Republic had already been hit hard by Tropical Storm Noel, which slammed the country in late October, killing at least 85 people.

Climate's Remote Control On Hurricanes
Virginia Key FL (SPX) Dec 13, 2007
Natural climate variations, which tend to involve localized changes in sea surface temperature, may have a larger effect on hurricane activity than the more uniform patterns of global warming, a report in this week's Nature suggests. In the debate over the effect of global warming on hurricanes, it is generally assumed that warmer oceans provide a more favorable environment for hurricane development and intensification. However, several other factors, such as atmospheric temperature and moisture, also come into play.

Acting Foreign Minister Craig Emerson, whose father fought in Libya in World War II, has condemned the desecration of war graves in the troubled country.
Amateur footage has emerged of a mob smashing up headstones late last month at Commonwealth and British cemeteries in Benghazi.
''This is a terrible act,'' Dr Emerson told reporters in Canberra today, adding that the motives behind the attack were not yet known.
Dr Emerson said that it is estimated that 198 graves have been desecrated. It is not clear if any Australian graves were damaged, although there are 48 in the vicinity.
''No matter who they are, nothing excuses that sort of vandalism,'' Dr Emerson said.
''Essentially, we are part of the Commonwealth and we fought with our comrades in Libya.''
More than 1200 British Commonwealth troops who died in the north African desert battles of World War II are buried in the cemeteries.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission will work on the repairs but Dr Emerson said that Australia will provide any additional assistance that is needed.
He said that his father fought in Libya in World War II and was captured, spending four year in a prisoner of war camp.
''I know what he would think,'' he said.
The Libyan government apologised for the vandalism at the weekend. Dr Emerson said that the Libyan Ambassador had also assured him that the transitional Libyan government is outraged.
Today Opposition Leader Tony Abbott said the entire Australian community wanted the perpetrators ''brought to justice'' and the graves restored to ''perfect condition''.
''This is just a terrible, terrible blow to everyone who supports our armed forces,'' he told reporters in Bendigo.

Cornell at Yale and Brown
16 comments:
Well, that confirms it: Peck is done at Cornell after this year and will seek a fifth year elsewhere. He said his appeal for a fifth year got denied. If his appeal got denied, Casey and Curry better get shot down as well.
What Peck said differs from what CBB reported earlier -- namely, that Peck's return was a financial aid issue. Either way, that's a huge, huge loss.
We need impact recruits to start filling holes at the 1 and 3.
- February 15, 2013 at 8:01 PM
- The Cornell Basketball Blog said...
It was financial aid, not a denied application from Ivy Office.
- February 15, 2013 at 8:10 PM
Peck himself just said on Redcast: "My appeal for a fifth year got denied" and he will go to a different program next year.
- February 15, 2013 at 8:17 PM

He was not denied a 5th year. He is eligible. He might have meant, his "appeal" for financial aid.

This one was all about free throws. Yale bested us in every statistical category with the exception of free throws (they were 12 of 26 for an abysmal 46.2%).
Cornell played well, but the win didn't come without a bit of luck. If the teams hopes to earn the split with Harvard and Princeton, they must play better at both ends of the floor. Period.
That being said, this was a quality road win. Brown should be an easier contest, which would keep Cornell in sole possession of third place and begin to separate them from the pack.

It might turn out to be a blessing for Errick ... I hope he gets a BCS team for some exposure, and I hope he stays healthy.
- February 15, 2013 at 9:57 PM
And a major blow for us. We've seen how Peck impacts games in league play. We don't have anyone with close to his talent lined up to take his place at the three.
- February 16, 2013 at 1:08 AM
Cornell also won the turnover battle 13-16. That was very big.
Unlike their game in Jadwin, the Dawgs were really sloppy last night. Twelve of their TO's were simply traveling or fumbling the ball away. That is terrible. Teams that give the ball away that much seldom win.
This created the chance for Cornell to score 11 more points than Yale. The Red capitalized on that.
Brown and Yale are tied in league play, just behind us. The Bears are 2-0 at home in the league. I don't see tonight being any "easier" than last night.
Brown has a short bench, and they still do not do much offensive rebounding. However, Martin puts six or seven darn good, hustling players out there.
This one will require all our attention, but we can do it.

Peck is a big loss because he is good. But he is easily replaceable.
First, let's breakdown what Errick is for Cornell.
He is a senior with a lot of experience. He is a wing that is not a pure shooter. He is a slasher, uber athletic, decent (not good) rebounder, decent (not outstanding) defender. He's outstanding in transition.
But Cornell has guys a bit smaller that can play the 3 spot. This year we used Peck and Gray. We have very good options to replace them both.
First lets talk bigs. Coming on board next year, Cornell has lots of outstanding options in terms of size and athleticism at the 4/5. Miller, Onuorah, Bunce, Lamore, Giddens, Harmon, Tomic.
These guys will be good. Bunce is getting very healthy. Onuorah is a rebounding and interior finishing beast like Justin Sears. Miller is Miller. Giddens, Tomic and Lamore are maturing and will be ready to go as juniors for spot minutes. This is a nice group.
At the 3 spot, Cornell can go small and has two very good options. Cherry for your slashing needs. And if he is not your choice... Cressler for your shooting. Those two guys along with Cancer and Scelfo will be your four guards sharing time at the 1/2/3.
A wildcard is also Tarwater. He will be a veteran senior and could offer some toughness at the 3.
The bench will be much thinner than in years past, but they can put together a 7-8 man rotation that is capable of winning a league title.
- February 16, 2013 at 9:57 AM
That's a thin crew for the 1-3 next year.
- February 16, 2013 at 1:43 PM
Losing Peck is a huge loss. No skirting around it. He is vital to the team and not having him will hurt.
Regardless, he is playing his heart out now and I hope these guys can somehow pull out a great season and fight to that final game in Cambridge and have it mean 11-3 tied at title. If we win out and H/P splits, then we can at least have a 3 way tie. So, get it done Peck!
Also, if he goes somewhere else, I kind of hope BC gives him a look. Would be nice for him to get an ACC year in with a coach who knows him.
- February 16, 2013 at 4:25 PM
Peck is not easily replaceable. Nobody on the team can do what he does. 3 guard lineups suck defensively. Miller can't play the 3. Peck is a matchup nightmare when his head is in the game. We also don't have any commits that are true 3s, and I don't see anything on the radar
- February 16, 2013 at 4:57 PM
Agree with Anon 4:57. Peck is a huge part of our recent success and we don't have anyone with his athletic ability and size ready to step in. It's a huge loss.
Let's put it this way: Harvard is already ahead of us this year. They lose no key players to graduation (I don't count Webster). They will probably add Casey and Curry along with Zena. Kenyatta has also changed the way their team plays and has improved their team significantly from even a few weeks ago. They will be scary if the chips fall into place for them.
We lose our second best player, along with our starting point guard, center, and shooting guard/wing. We add one power forward who is athletic and a good defensive player. We will be razor thin at guard if someone is in foul trouble or if someone gets injured. We have no true three.
We need big time talents at the 1 and 3. But it's almost March and the vast majority of big time talents are off the board.
- February 17, 2013 at 2:25 AM
Did that recruit who was reportedly close to pulling the trigger for Cornell a couple weeks ago go elsewhere?
- February 18, 2013 at 3:23 PM
Seriously. What happened to that alleged recruit?
- February 19, 2013 at 8:20 PM
I'm guessing it was Aram Martin, and he went to Brown.
- February 19, 2013 at 10:40 PM

1 Condemned to Hope's delusive mine, As on we toil from day to day, By sudden blasts, or slow decline, Our social comforts drop away.
2 Well tried through many a varying year, See Levett to the grave descend; Officious, innocent, sincere, Of every friendless name the friend.
3 Yet still he fills Affection's eye, Obscurely wise and coarsely kind; Nor, letter'd Arrogance, deny Thy praise to merit unrefined.
4 When fainting Nature call'd for aid, And hovering Death prepared the blow, His vigorous remedy display'd The power of Art without the show.
5 In Misery's darkest cavern known, His useful care was ever nigh; Where hopeless Anguish pour'd his groan, And lonely Want retired to die.
6 No summons, mock'd by chill delay; No petty gain, disdain'd by pride; The modest wants of every day, The toil of every day supplied.
7 His virtues walk'd their narrow round, Nor made a pause, nor left a void; And sure the Eternal Master found The single talent well employ'd,
8 The busy day--the peaceful night, Unfelt, unclouded, glided by; His frame was firm--his powers were bright, Though now his eightieth year was nigh.
9 Then with no fiery, throbbing pain, No cold gradations of decay, Death broke at once the vital chain, And freed his soul the nearest way.

Jose Ramon Lerma Bay Area Artist A 60 Year Retrospective and Selections of his Collections
Posted by: ArtZone 461 Gallery
Jose Ramon Lerma Bay Area Artist A 60 Year Retrospective and Selections of his Collections
April 6 to May 5, 2013 at ArtZone 461 Gallery
Jos� Ram�n Lerma, Bay Area Artist: A Sixty Year Retrospective And Selections from the Collections of Jos� R. Lerma
ArtZone 461 Gallery is pleased to announce a sixty-year retrospective exhibition for Bay Area artist Jos� Ram�n Lerma. Primarily considered an abstract expressionist, he studied at the California School of Fine Arts (CSFA, now the San Francisco Art Institute) during its heyday of importance as the center for West Coast Abstraction and associated movements like dada, beat, funk, pop, surrealism, collage and constructions. Lerma experimented fearlessly across genres and avoided categorization. Pure and not simple, Lerma is an artist who recognized, appreciated and participated in the historic Bay Area and California movements starting in the 1950s and continuing through today.
In addition to the comprehensive career overview, ArtZone�s Side Gallery features selections from Jos� Lerma�s personal collection built over the past sixty years. These represent fresh archives of historic importance and contain examples of works traded or purchased from his professors or colleagues and friends. Displayed are rarely, if ever, seen paintings, prints, sculpture and photographs. Artists included are: Dorr Bothwell; Dimitri Grachis; Roy De�Forest; Howard Foote; Mel Hanson; Juan Sandoval; Ruth Wall; Julius Wasserstein; Imogene Cunningham and notable William T. Wiley early ceramics, to name a few.
Jos� Ram�n Lerma was born in Hollister in 1930. He received a scholarship to the CSFA in 1948 and began classes in 1950. Serving in the Korean War from 1951 to 1953 interrupted his schooling. He resumed studies at CSFA from 1954 to 1958. The artist commented on his early years at the school as having, ��the most impact on my life and art. The art world of the fifties was free of the market and its temptations. There was a certain purity about it.�
These statements are remarkably revealing in laying the foundation for Lerma�s career. They reflect both the influence of his instructors at CSFA and his personal beliefs regarding the traditional gallery. Lerma rebelled against commercialism and the commoditization of art. It motivated him to join fellow artist friends who together founded the Russian Hill Gallery in 1959. Though it closed in 1961, it held exhibitions for beat and abstract artists who previously showed with the early, historic and important artist-run San Francisco galleries. Their names are included in Lerma�s r�sum� as places where he also had solo and group shows: The 6 Gallery, East-West Gallery, The Spatsa, annual exhibitions at the Green Gallery (1960-1968) and, of course, the Russian Hill Gallery. Infused with history while following a singular path, Lerma�s career mirrors his fierce independence; this anti-establishment stance has, unfortunately, affected his visibility among his peers. ArtZone 461 Gallery anticipates this show will germinate the seeds of increased visibility and long overdue appreciation for this champion of art historic documentation, experimentation and art creation.

Super Mario Fusion: Revival (abbreviated to SMF:R) is a sister fangame project to Mushroom Kingdom Fusion based on Hello Engine 4. It has a stronger focus on the Mario-series style of gameplay.
SMF:R will have some crossover levels based on other game franchises, however unlike MKF it'll be kept at a minimum. The focus is Mario and company traveling to different worlds, not crossover content.

Why "revival"?
On December 2007, Mushroom Kingdom Fusion actually began as Super Mario Fusion: Mushroom Kingdom Hearts, a crossover Mario fan game where Mario visited other worlds--the worlds of DOOM, Mega Man, Halo, an Alternate Earth, and an original world or two.
As the years passed, and as people offering to contribute were made into a team, it began to change--it became MKF and was more about crossing over with as much stuff as possible rather than Mario simply visiting other worlds. For the most part, these changes were gradual early on, and therefore were easier to accept. Being too busy to keep working on MKF around the beginning of 2009, JudgeSpear relied on Obreck2 to keep him posted on what was happening to the project. This connection was strained, and when JudgeSpear came back to working on the project, things had changed drastically without his consent. JudgeSpear started disapproving many of the changes to the point of lambasting the development team angrily. He ended up stepping down from the project, making Obreck2 the then acting lead. Rather than railroad MKF back to what it originally was, JudgeSpear simply decided let the MKF development team take the project in their direction while starting development of a new game that would follow the original vision, hence the "Revival" in the game's name. Since then, development of Super Mario Fusion Revival continued at a steady but sure pace, while Mushroom Kingdom Fusion has been in and out of development hiatus ever since the release of its most recent beta version, v0.5.3, in April of 2012.
Unique features
Even though SMF:R is a spinoff to MKF, it will have many gameplay mechanics and features unique to this game.
- Stronger focus on Mario game mechanics. All levels will play like those from the classic Mario games (SMB1, SMB2, SMB3, SMW, with some mechanics from Yoshi's Island). Additionally, many post Mushroom Kingdom enemies are clones of Mario enemies, behaving like Goombas, Koopas, Piranha Plants, and Boos.
- There will be six characters from which to select, all from the Mario universe.
- A vehicle and mount system. These gives all characters different abilities.
- User-selectable 8-bit and16-bit Mario sound effects sets.
- Special Doomship levels (x-SHIP) where the Koopalings await. There will be one SHIP level in each world, with two being in World 6.
- Guns have been phased out of SMF:R. We could never implement them well in SMF:R, since the mount system proved to be far more useful.
- The Bowser Rampage levels. After World 1, Bowser joins the roster as a playable character in special levels designed for fierce short range and fire breath attack.
Major crossovers
Compared to Mushroom Kingdom Fusion and Super Mario Fusion: Mushroom Kingdom Hearts and Super Mario MF, Super Mario Fusion: Revival does not contain worlds based on specific video game franchises. Rather, all post World 1 worlds are original in context (revolving around generic themes such as sci-fi, fantasy, evil, and so on), utilizing a few crossover elements from other games as storytelling aids instead of implementing them for the sake of crossing them over. These are the major crossover franchises represented in Super Mario Fusion: Revival...
|Game franchise
|In-game representation
|Metal Slug series
|World 2 (Terra Alternata) is loosely based on the events of the Metal Slug games, most notably Metal Slug 3. The Rebel Army and the Mars People are major enemies in World 2. The Mars People are a significant enemy presence in World 6 (Outer Nebula) as well.
|Fear Effect
|Beyond Oasis
|Classified. Several enemies make significant appearances in World 5.
|Final Fantasy IV
|Star Fox series
|The Star Fox team are the protagonist in the events of World 6.
|Halo series
|The Covenant are a major enemy in World 6.
|Gradius series
Enemies from other games may make cameos in the game, but the the main point is that these cameos are being used in original contexts, not to copy loads of franchises.
Worlds comparisons
Mushroom Kingdom Fusion, Super Mario Fusion: Mushroom Kingdom Hearts, and Super Mario Fusion: Revival all share common world themes. The world listings were all derived from the prototype of all these games, Super Mario MF.

|Special Jump
|Hammer-grade suit
|Spin jump

However, single-family permits, which can be an indicator of future building activity, rose 3.7%.
"The dip in single-family production shows builders continue to move carefully in adding inventory," said Kevin Kelly, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a home builder and developer from Wilmington, Del. "They are also facing supply chain issues, such as access to lots and labor."
Nationally, single-family housing starts were down 5.9% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 625,000 units in May. Meanwhile, multifamily production fell 7.6% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 376,000 units.
"The encouraging news is that single-family permits are up by almost 4%," said NAHB chief economist David Crowe. "The modest increase is evidence that builders expect continued release of pent-up demand and a gradual expansion of the housing market. We are still forecasting a 12% increase in total housing starts for the year."
Regionally in May, combined single- and multifamily housing production fell the most in the Northeast, the Midwest and the West, with respective losses of 25.2%, 16.5% and 16.3%. Meanwhile, the South posted a 7.3% gain.
Issuance of building permits registered a 6.4% decline to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 991,000 units in May. This was due entirely to a decrease in the multifamily sector, where permits registered a 19.5% loss to 372,000 units. Single-family permits increased to 619,000 units.
The Northeast and Midwest registered overall permit gains of 3.5% and 3.8%, respectively, while the South and West posted respective losses of 7.3% and 15.2%.

Dean's visit to India strengthens connections between SVS and the Malankara Orthodox Church
V. Rev. Dr John Behr (Dean) spent two intense but immensely rewarding weeks in October, travelling and speaking to different groups in southern and central India as the guest of the Malankara Orthodox Church. He was invited by Rev. Dr Bijesh Philip, an SVS alumnus (1994), now Professor of the St Thomas Orthodox Seminary in Nagpur, and founder of the Prerana Special School for the mentally challenged. Fr John's visit strengthened existing connections between St Vladimir's Orthodox Theology Seminary and the Malankara Orthodox Church. It also prompted both sides to begin exploring new possibilities for further collaboration.
Fr John took a camera with him and documented many aspects of the trip. This is what happened...
Meetings with hierarchs
Fr John arrived in India on Wednesday September 30th. Almost immediately, he was granted an audience with the Catholicos of the Malankara Orthodox Church, His Holiness Baselius Mar Thoma Didymus I, and his assistant and Catholicos Designate, His Beatitude Paulose Mar Milithios. Also present were His Grace Thomas Mar Athanasios (Diocese of Chengannur) who is responsible for publications, and His Grace Gabriel Mar Gregorios (Diocese of Tiruvananthapuram) who is responsible for ecumenical affairs. The meeting was warm, friendly, and very productive.
On October 2nd, while in Kollam, Fr John met His Grace Zachariah Mar Anthonios (Diocese of Kollam).
While at St Thomas Orthodox Theological Seminary in Nagpur, Fr John met the hierarchs and Board members who had gathered for St Thomas' Seminary Board meeting and convocation. Fr John had further conversations with H.B. Mar Milithios, the Catholicos Designate, as well as His Grace Dr Yakob Mar Irenius (Diocese of Kochi) and His Grace Dr Joseph Mar Dionysius (Diocese of Kolkatta).
Presentations and meetings with theologians and seminarians
Fr John visited the two seminaries of the Malankara Orthodox Church, an ashram, and several churches.
- He began at the Orthodox Seminary in Kottayam, which has a distinguished history. It is known as the "Old Seminary" because it was founded in 1815, with the aid of British missionaries, and was the first such educational institution in India. He was warmly welcomed by the Principal, Rev. Dr K M George, and by Fr M S John (another SVS alumnus). Fr John played a DVD showing the life of St Vladimir's Seminary and spoke to the students about theological education, its demands and principles. The Kottayam students enjoyed the DVD - especially when they recognized one of SVS's current students - Ceena (Miriam) Varghese -who is featured on it!
- On October 3rd, Fr John spoke to the faculty and students from the Old Seminary and other seminaries on "The Challenge of Our Past and Challenging the Past".
- On Monday, October 5th, Fr John traveled to St Thomas Orthodox Theological Seminary in Nagpur - literally the center of India - which was holding its Board meeting and Convocation. He was welcomed by the Principal, Rev. Dr Reji Mathew, spoke to the Alumni Association, and delivered the Convocation Address.
While at St Thomas Orthodox Theological Seminary, Fr John spent two days teaching the students, working through two texts of two authors - the Mystical Theology of Dionysius the Areopagite and Ambiguum 41 of St Maximus the Confessor - foundational for the later Byzantine tradition.
Meeting with and speaking to youth groups
While at the Orthodox Seminary in Kottayam, Fr John had the opportunity to visit Mt Horeb Ashram, headed by Fr V M James, near Kollam. The Ashram oversees various colleges and educational institutions. So, Fr John spoke about the Bible and how to read it, to a group of young women, studying at the St Basil Bible School and Orientation Center before going on to train as nurses.
- On Sunday, October 4th, Fr John spoke to a youth group at St George's Church in Thekkady, hosted by Fr Sanjay Geevarghese. Fr John was asked to speak to the young people on suffering and death in response to the tragedy at Thekkady, only a few days before, when thirty-nine tourists died after their boat capsized.
- On Sunday, October 11, Fr John was honored by a youth retreat at St Mary's Church in Raipur, and spoke with them on the theme "Blessed are those whose delight is in the law of the Lord and on his law they meditate day and night" (Ps 1.2)
Sight-seeing and travels by train
- On Friday October 2nd, Fr John saw many old churches, several of which were founded by St Thomas himself.
- On Saturday October 3rd, Fr John was taken to the wildlife reserve at Thekkady. He was particularly intrigued by the monkeys and by an arresting sign.
- Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, October 9-11, was spent by Fr John on the trains of India, traveling to see the Taj Mahal and to the youth retreat in Raipur.
