I have simplified the code according to the discussion. Now there is no pipe or signaling threads, process access shared memory directly to pass signals. Seems everything works fine except pg_ctl. I now have two choices to fix it: (1) Record Shared memory name (it is already there) and the offset of signaling shared memory in postmaster.pid; So the pg_ctl program can access the shared memory (since it has write down the signal number there) and SetEvent target process; (2) Postmaster will startup a thread monitoring messages, pg_ctl simulate "kill" by sending postmaster a message <target_pid, signum>, then postmaster will forward this "signum" to "target_pid"; What do you think? Regards, Qingqing

Breathes there a politician in all the land with the fortitude to protect our rights rather than his own reputation?
As more and more information is leaked, dragged and pried out of our government about the breadth of its global data-sweeping programs kept improperly secret so that we can't even make an intelligent judgment as to whether they are effective or even remotely constitutional about the only current or former leader with the guts to call it wrong is a one-term president whose name has become synonymous with political impotence.
Only Jimmy Carter has had the courage to say that all the goings-on that we aren't even allowed to discuss effectively render our democracy non-functional. And he said it in Germany, where no Americans were listening.
Some had hoped that, in the move from a crony capitalist from Texas (who was really born in Connecticut) to a semi-socialist from Kenya (who was really born in Hawaii), America might give up the trappings of a high-security state and again value freedom at least as highly as protection.
And, as we moved from President George W. Bush to President Barack H. Obama, some things changed. Torture was forsworn and secret prisons shuttered. Warrentless wiretapping was, supposedly, banned.
But the Guantanamo Bay prison is still open. And the secret court that is supposed to be protecting us all from unconstitutional searches knows only what the administration tells it and has its actions made known to the public it serves only as it pleases the administration to do so.
Or when activist groups such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation drags it out of them. As it did with Wednesday's revelation that even the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court which never seemed to have met a wiretap or email sweep it didn't like actually called the National Security Agency on the carpet for including perhaps tens of thousands of purely domestic messages in its supposed search of Internet communications among suspicious foreigners.
The Obama administration was merciless to Pfc. Bradley Manning, the very young man just convicted of leaking a flood of secret cables and communications to the anti-secrecy website Wikileaks.
Prosecutors tried to get Manning jailed for life, but only managed a sentence of 35 years (with parole eligibility after seven years) when the military judge refused to convict Manning of aiding the enemy, in part because nobody could name an enemy he might have been helping.
For eight months, Manning was in solitary for 23 hours a day, not allowed to read or watch TV, to wear his glasses or any clothing beyond boxer shorts, ostensibly for fear that he would harm himself with his own clothes. A United Nations review of his case found the treatment of Manning, who had not yet been convicted of a thing, amounted to torture.
The administration is also peeved because Russia has been harboring Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor who leaked a slug of documents that were secret because, well, because they were.
The renewed interest in such matters touched off by the Snowden case, meanwhile, has led to a lot more investigative reporting that has revealed, among other things, that the NSA and FBI spent the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City monitoring all email and text messages being sent to and from the area. Not just the points of origin and destination, as the NSA is supposedly doing with Internet traffic today, but the content of those messages.
Outrage at a practice that clearly violated the Fourth Amendment's bans on warrentless searches seems confined to Internet pros such as XMission founder Pete Ashdown. Supposedly conservative politicians, including then-Sen. Bob Bennett and now-Gov. Gary Herbert, are shrugging it off as just the kind of things security services do with memories of 9/11 still burning so bright.
Clearly, savvy politicians such as Bennett, Herbert and Obama believe that Americans will sit still for the systemic violation of every constitutional and ethical ban on such sweeping searches, but that we will hold them all personally accountable for the smallest hint of a terrorist attack, successful or otherwise.
When only Jimmy Carter dares to disagree, we see that putting human rights ahead of police-state tactics marks our politicians as losers. And will continue to, until the voters stand up and demand something else.
George Pyle, a Tribune editorial writer, would be grateful if the NSA would remind him of all the computer passwords he has forgotten over the years. firstname.lastname@example.com

IN A year in which many companies faced outright disaster, there were few lifelines.
Banks, facing their own threats from the global financial crisis, were tightening the amount of money they loaned, if they were lending at all.
Fears the world financial system was on the brink of collapse led to unprecedented volatility, in company share prices and on the market in general. In the past two years there were 24 one-day swings of more than 5 per cent in the US S&P 500; in the previous 60-odd years there had been 19 such days.
Yet somehow in these uncertain times, first in a trickle and then in a flood, Australian companies found $US61 billion ($A68.4 billion) in fresh cash this year to reduce their debt and beat a path towards survival.
The fresh cash speaks to an unsung hero in Australia's response to the crisis: a wave of superannuation money that supported the capital raisings.
Along the way, about $1 billion in underwriting fees have been siphoned off by investment bankers, a fee bonanza for one of the best-paid professions predominantly transferred from mum-and-dad superannuation investors.
But the widespread disaster if this cash had not been found is difficult to imagine. Breached loan covenants. Collapses. More panic.
And the same pile of money points to a robust path forward for the Australian market, in sharp contrast to the parlous debt-burdened state of many corporations on Britain and the US.
Reasons for the unexpectedly positive position in which corporate Australia now finds itself are twofold - and both are more than a little perverse.
First, Australia's wave of 9 per cent of wages paid as superannuation cash, which continues to slosh into funds every week in fair weather or foul, helped save the captains of industry.
In effect, the workers' paradise of compulsory superannuation built by the ACTU and the Keating Labor government provided the mother of all bail-out funds for an overgeared, over-risky corporate sector. (The business lobby should think about that the next time it opposes a wage increase.)
Second - and here's the real perversity - the super-smooth investment bankers
who were the handmaidens of all that corporate overreaching actually turned out to be pretty handy when the crunch came.
This handiness is shown in the annual East Coles Investment Banking survey of more than 100 Australian corporates about their views on their investment bankers, which The Age publishes exclusively today.
It shows 79 per cent of companies felt their investment bankers had added value to their business in the past five years.
Companies showed almost slavish gratitude to an industry that has been rightly blamed for being at the heart of the global meltdown.
The companies rated UBS the best overall investment bank, followed by Macquarie and Goldman Sachs JBWere (see league tables).
And while the capital raisings happened with a degree of bastardry towards Australia's retail shareholders, the alternative of no capital raising at all may have been much worse.
''You were in a market where you don't know when you come in whether it's going to be up 6 per cent or down 7 per cent,'' says UBS investment banking co-head Guy Fowler.
''You can't hang around, if the company says it wants to raise a billion dollars.''
Peter Hunt, executive chairman of advisory firm Caliburn, says he is not surprised investment banks proved so efficient in the capital raisings, with self-interest a big motivator.
''You can criticise investment banks for a whole host of reasons for what happened in the broader financial crisis,'' he says. ''But they are full of determined, hungry, focused individuals and they are looking for positions in the markets where they can make money for their companies. Capital raising was where they could make a lot of money for their companies.''
Add it up. Take an underwriting fee of a conservative 1.5 per cent on $US61 billion and you get $US915 million in fees.
AT THE top end of town there is little hiding the significance with which the banking community views the importance of the worker-inspired superannuation fund money.
Merrill Lynch managing director Kevin Skelton has little doubt Australia's superannuation money was a shock absorber.
''Why is it you are able to raise capital very quickly in Australia? It's because - we all understand this - the superannuation and savings market in Australia is mature, it's well established, so there is sufficient market money within funds to put to work in the equity markets,'' he says.
''I think that was an important element for Australia in the context of the GFC. It was absolutely an absorber of shock because unless a number of these companies [recapitalised] they were either going to go bankrupt or run into serious trouble.''
Mr Fowler is similarly clear about where the money was coming from.
''If you look at all of the capital raisings we have done in the past 18 months, up until six months ago the vast majority of support was from Australian institutions who still had the benefit of money flowing in from the superannuation levy,'' he says.
And the benefits have been undoubtedly lucrative for the investment bankers, including UBS, which has led the charge of recapitalisations.
''This market has been the leader in terms of recapitalising its corporates,'' says Mr Fowler. ''Up until about June this year Australia, which normally accounts for about 4 or 5 per cent of capital raised in the world, was about 25 per cent of capital raised in the world. So this market aggressively recapitalised itself.''
Superannuation money being put to work to save the market does not surprise Industry Funds Management chair Garry Weaven, regarded as an architect of Australia's superannuation industry.
But he questions whether some companies should have been saved. ''It's an irony that some people who engineered the debt-funding in their balance sheets tend to be highly paid and overpaid,'' he says.
And not all were saved. Mr Hunt notes: ''It was a shock absorber for companies that institutions regarded as worth saving,'' he says.
INVESTMENT bankers spoken to for this article do not take a backward step about the capital raisings or their impact on retail shareholders.
Commentators have pointed out many of the structures seriously disadvantaged retail shareholders.
Capital raisings, including the $2.35 billion raised by Asciano in June, have been criticised for being a transfer of wealth from retail shareholders to institutional investors.
The criticisms arise because many capital raisings were not offered to all shareholders equally, but were quarantined to large institutional shareholders at a large discount.
In Asciano's case, shares were offered at $1.10, or 40 per cent below the $1.83 previous market price.
For bankers, dealing only with large shareholders has the benefit of speed, while a rights offer in Europe and the US can take six to eight weeks.
The ''accelerated'' nature of the placements also allows companies to sidestep an Australian Stock Exchange rule that issuing more than 15 per cent of existing shares within 12-months requires shareholder approval.
Because shares in accelerated placements are fully underwritten, they can be counted as existing shares, which effectively raises the 15 per cent cap necessary for shareholder approval.
Critics argue this has allowed not only dilution - when more shares are made available at the same price - but actual value transfer because the shares have been offered at a discount.
The structuring of some of the equity raisings and how it was used to beneficial effect by major shareholders also came in for attention.
UBS rejects as ''unequivocally incorrect'' and ''malicious'' suggestions its winning of the mandate to handle Asciano's capital raising was linked to its deal to provide a loan to the debt-laden port operator's managing director, Mark Rowsthorn. Mr Rowsthorn entered an arrangement with UBS in which he sold 40 million shares at $1.25 each and then took out a ''collar'' loan over his remaining 36.2 million securities.
The deal allowed him to buy his full allotment of 76.2 million securities under the group's one-for-one entitlement offer at the lower price of $1.10 a security.
Investment bankers argue the structures suited the urgency of the times.
''We found that especially when the markets were very dislocated and very volatile, being able to go to market and saying this deal is going to happen, it is going to happen at this price, it is done, is pretty valuable,'' says Mr Fowler.
''You know, a bit of leadership in terms of pricing. There are other examples in other firms where you put a company into a trading halt for five days while people ran around to try to find a price. We never had a situation like that.''
A case example was a five-month market suspension for Transpacific Industries
as it sought a complex recapitalisation.
Mr Hunt says the practical implications of the volatility meant speed became an important factor.
''The fact that you could do an institutional sell-down in a day as opposed to going through the lengthy normal rights offering was very important,'' he says.
''If you think about what happened, banks pulled back. Even when they weren't pulling back they weren't giving companies confidence they would refinance them. That ability to tap the equity market was extraordinarily important.''
Mr Skelton provides a practical example, the $750 million recapitalisation of mining services company Boart Longyear. ''They were looking towards a refinancing, which was six to eight months way,'' he says.
''The banks were very nervous. We worked with the company … we helped negotiate with the banks to keep them comfortable while we sorted out an equity solution.
''It's a classic situation of going from a near-death experience to being a well-capitalised company that is now set up to grow and run its business appropriately.''
TOP bankers say the superannuation money has not only stabilised the market through recapitalisations this year, the continued flow will be central to their operations for the coming year.
Bankers point to Australian Bureau of Statistics figures for superannuation fund asset allocations showing cash allocations remaining significantly higher than long-term averages. The figures show cash allocations began to fall in the September quarter and equity allocations rose.
There is optimism that cash allocations naturally switching back to equities will provide even further liquidity.
Bankers see this as a precursor to giving companies confidence to engage in mergers and acquisitions.
Indeed, the East Coles survey showed 56 per cent of respondents said they would or would possibly raise capital again next year.
''What we're seeing is that there's still a significant amount of cash that is on the sidelines which would naturally be in the equities market,'' says Amelia Hill, an executive director who works on UBS's equity capital markets team.
Bankers will be trying to use the money flow to encourage corporates to use the liquidity to consider opportunities for acquisitions and to convince privately held companies to consider an IPO.
Palladio Partners' Tony O'Sullivan says: ''I think we're definitely moving from a market where most of the new equity investment has been around balance sheet repair to one where further equity issues will be around mergers and acquisitions.''
RBS head of investment banking Nick Rowe, the top-ranked banker in the East Coles survey, says infrastructure and power privatisations from NSW and Queensland governments will probably attract pension fund money.
''They are quite large pools of assets and they are very much into the long-dated pension fund liability side of things, whether it be generation assets, or toll roads or ports that people actually quite like,'' he says.
Ms Hill says the market for IPOs will be tough because most opportunities for next year involve private equity exits.

Mudwell the Mudbunny was a brown rabbit-like creature who appeared in the Fraggle Rock episode "Gone, But Not Forgotten". Mudwell dies in the episode, leaving his friend Wembley to learn about the cycle of death and rebirth, through his subsequent reincarnation in the form of a Lizard.
In Muppet Treasure Island, Mudwell appears as one of the pirates on Long John Silver's side and operates Dead Tom. He ironically cries over Dead Tom's "death" at the hands of Silver. Walleye Pike then reminds him that Dead Tom is already dead.
Mudwell was later seen as Flash Harry, Mr. Hoofit, and Rudy Monster in Mopatop's Shop.

What would you like to do?
Who first said that the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect different results?
What is to do the same thing over and over again?
This is called compulsion and may be a symptom of mental illness.
Who said if you want different results do things differently?
If you want different results, do not do the same things. "Albert Einstein"
If insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome what do you call doing the same thing and actually getting a different outcome?
I would call it discovering a new solution.
Will you still get the same results of a pregnancy test if answers test is turned over?
Do you mean if you hold the stick upside down? Put it this way. If the pregnancy test was positive, it didn't get that way from holding it upside down. If it was negative, how…ever, it could be that way if you held it wrong and the test area didn't get properly wet with urine. Try again in that case (with a new test.)
Who wrote the famous quote only a fool does the same thing and expects different results?
Benjamin Franklin
What is the definition of insanity?
Insanity is the madness. Mental disturbances. Foolishness. Often the statement of the definition of insanity is, "expecting change when you do the same thing over and over."…
What does it mean to do the same thing repeately but expecting a different outcome?
Some say, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing but expecting a different result. When you use the same thought process, same approach, maybe same system ov…er and over again and still getting the same result, it's time to change the above mentioned. Kind of like if you were to get in your car....and make car noises but the car doesn't start. You really want the car to start, and day after day you go and sit in your car and make car noises. Stop and think, how else will this car start. Hmmmm. Maybe use the key, then the car will start. Another saying, there isn't one way to skin a cat....ouch...I know sounds terrible but basically the same idea. There are several methods you just have to keeping trying until you get your result you want. IF? You have tried everything including what everyone else even suggests then maybe it's time to find a new goal or different outcome. Be flexible because life isn't!
The 500 most common words in the English language have over different dictionary definitions?
Why is it that i do the same things and expect different results?
That's the definition of insanity. Don't worry, we all do it. A lot of what we do is from habit and a habit is one of the hardest things to change. If you know you are going t…o repeat what is probably a bad behavior, think before you do it and make a choice not to. Be aware of what you are doing and change it. You have to be honest with yourself, but after a while, you do it without thinking and you will realize that you have changed your behavior and are not making the same mistake over and over.
Who first said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results?
What did cherry mean when she said things are rough all over?
Meaning that everyone has problems, no matter which class you come from. They may be different problems but everyone has them the same
Is recombination and crossing over or cross over the same thing?
Crossing over occur in meiosis 1 when the homologous pair exchange information. Recombination occur in meiosis 2 and mitosis when the chromosome are separated randomly during …anaphase 2 for meiosis and anaphase 1 for mitosis. This cause genetics variation
What is a person who says the same thing over and over again?
one word:annoying!
How can you not talk about the same thing over and over again?
Bring up a new and interesting topic.
In Uncategorized
Who first said when hell freezes over?
Probably Satan
When cherry said things are rough all over what did she mean?
This means that everywhere there are rough things going on, especially the fact over her boyfriend, Bob, died, and Johnny died, and a lot of people got hurt from all their fig…hting... And Cherry disagrees with the socs. and greasers actions.

Whales at threat from Russia's oil boom, meeting hears
Sonic blasts used in oil exploration pose a mounting threat to whales, especially a critically endangered species that feeds and breeds near Russia's Sakhalin Island, the global whaling forum has heard.
Britain and the United States voiced fears that plans to build a third oil and gas platform near the Pacific island could affect a species called the Western gray whale, delegates at the International Whaling Commission (IWC) meeting said.
"The United Kingdom is deeply concerned that ongoing industrial activities around Sakhalin Island continue to pose a threat" to the whale population, said junior environment minister Richard Benyon.
Belgium said 12 countries had written to Moscow, urging it to pressure the Sakhalin Energy Investment Corporation to postpone an upcoming seismic survey.
In mid-2010, three such exploratory forays were conducted in the area despite pleas to wait until Western gray whales had finished their migration there.
"There may be fewer than 130 Western gray whales remaining, and the loss of just one or two breeding females each year could lead these whales to extinction," said Wendy Elliot, head of the WWF delegation at the IWC.
Used to detect subsea oil deposits, seismic surveys require shooting large pulses of sound into the ocean floor.
Shockwaves can disrupt the ability of whales to feed or communicate and -- if the sea mammals are too close -- cause tissue damage, scientists say.
"During prospection, ships criss-cross the ocean using compressed air canons that deliver massive sound blasts vertically, penetrating 20 kilometres (12 miles) beneath the ocean floor," explained Michel Andre, director of the Laboratory of Appplied Bio-Acoustics in Barcelona.
For cetaceans within a range of two to three kilometres (one to two miles), the blasts can have a devastating impact, "including death", he said by phone.
Environmentalists say the depletion of onshore oil has accelerated offshore exploration using sonar blasts.
Other problems are caused by the less forceful but continuous drone emitted by oil and gas platforms, said Andre, who has designed systems to temporarily idle industrial operations when whales are detected nearby.
The combined impact of commercial shipping, military sonars and oil exploitation means that "there is not a single corner of the oceans that is truly free of noise, resulting in a kind of 'acoustic smog'", Andre said.
For the Western gray whales, there is clear evidence that they have been driven from their preferred feeding grounds in the past by noise from hydrocarbon platforms, said Justin Cooke, a scientists at the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and a member of the IWC Scientific Committee.
"The concern is that if their feeding is disrupted, their reproductive success will be lessened. We are dealing with a population of less than 150 animals, of which about 30 are reproductive females," he told AFP.
Since 2004, the IUCN had worked with Sakhalin Energy, a joint subsidiary of Shell and Gazprom, on how to minimise noise impacts, and is set to make formal recommendations.
"It seems to be the only place where there is this kind of cooperation between industry and an organisation like the IUCN," an umbrella environmental network grouping more than 1,000 government and NGO organisations.
The four-day IWC meeting in Jersey, on the British Channel Islands, winds up on Thursday.

Oliver Stone: 'America has misused its power'
Oscar winning writer-director Oliver Stone's new book, The Untold History of the United States, and accompanying televised documentary, looks back at events that helped shape America's complex history over the 20th century.
Stone says the aim of his project is to analyse "what America has done wrong, in the hope it can change".
The BBC's Komla Dumor was joined by Oliver Stone and by his co-author Peter Kuznick, a history professor at the American University in Washington.

A CLASSIC car lover had his wish fulfilled of taking one last ride in his beloved Morris Traveller.
Stanley Head, 76, was taken to St George's Church, Kendal, followed by a convoy of Morris Minors organised by his friends in the Cumbria Morris Minor Club.
He had been a member of the club since it was formed five years ago.
A family spokesperson said: "Stan was at his happiest tinkering away with anything mechanical - cars, tractors, bits of machinery. He would spend hours on his cars and tractors restoring them to former glory.
"The Morris Traveller was bought in 1986 and was then garaged for 12 years while he was busy helping run the family B & B. Stan started to restore it in 1998. It passed its MOT on December 1 1999 and he put it on the road on January 1 2000. This was his Millennium project.
"His wishes were always to go in his traveller as one last ride, as it was his pride and joy that he loved and spent a lot of time working on.
"He and his wife Eileen enjoyed many scenic rides out in it with the Morris Minor Car Club."
Mr Head was born at Kirkby Stephen in 1937 and had lived in the Westmorland area all his life. He is survived by his wife Eileen, four children and eight grandchildren.
His funeral on Monday was attended by more than 350 mourners, which his family said "was a real testament to his loving, gentle and kind-hearted nature."

This is the longest, and may be called the canoeist's western route to the great Southern Sea.
In this one particular the canoeist has to trust to the boat-builder.
Thus the jib can be struck while the canoeist remains in the boat, by pushing off these two loops with his paddle.
Always have a line and some fish-hooks with you, for a canoeist should be a good fisherman.
The canoeist of to-day, therefore, will find solitude and shallows enough on either river.
No canoeist may ram her opponent head on, and if she does so, the game is given to the other side.
The answer came so readily from the lips of the canoeist that Captain Amos was almost overcome.
These and the squalid back-door yards which run down to the bank do not 257 make up an attractive picture to the canoeist.
The canoeist secured the painter to a root in the bank, and forthwith moved to the cascade.
She was past-mistress of the canoeist's difficult art, and her canoe flew on as though drawn away into the dark on unseen cords.
1842, from canoe (n.). Related: Canoed; canoing.
1550s, originally in a West Indian context, from Spanish canoa, a term used by Columbus, from Arawakan (Haiti) canaoua. Extended to rough-made or dugout boats generally. Early variants in English included cano, canow, canoa, etc., before spelling settled down c.1600.

Despite taking a 14-point lead in the first six and a half minutes, the Alaska men's basketball team struggled from the field the last 30 minutes and Concordia-St. Paul rallied for a 65-60 victory on Saturday afternoon at the WWU Chuck Randall Thanksgiving Classic at Carver Gymnasium.
"We played a lot better than Friday but we couldn't put the ball in the basket," head coach Mick Durham said. "I thought we did a good job of defending them and they did a good job defending us. We had some pretty good looks but it's frustrating that we couldn't knock shots down."
Isaiah Thomas and Terez VanPelt tied for a game-high 16 points apiece while Nick Mabbutt chipped in 10 points for the Golden Bears (1-2). Cole Olstad brought down 10 rebounds and Demitrius Martin dished out four assists.
The Nanooks (4-3) were paced by senior guard Dominique Brinson (Juneau, Alaska/Accounting) and junior forward Stefan Tica (Belgrade, Serbia/Business and Finance), who both scored 11 points after draining three treys apiece. Senior forward Zach Ngawaka (Keysborough, Australia/History) contributed 10 points and five boards while junior center Sergej Pucar (Belgrade, Serbia/Business administration) accrued a game- and career-high 14 rebounds. Junior guard Pat Voeut (Bellingham, Wash./Communications) also had eight points and four dimes.
CSPU shot 40.7-percent from the floor while Alaska struggled after its hot start at 35.8-percent. Concordia also converted on just shy of 42-percent (5-12 3PT) of its three-point attempts, while the 'Nooks were 25-percent (7-28 3PT) from beyond the arc, including just one-for-10 in the final 20 minutes.
"They have some good guards that can really shoot it," Durham said. "They're one of the bigger team's we've played. They played us man and showed a little zone in the first half but we were inconsistent shooting the three and shooting in general so it bit us tonight."
The Golden Bears held the rebounding edge 42-32 and outscored the Nanooks 15-5 on second-chance opportunities in a game that saw three ties and six lead changes.
The Nanooks jumped out to an early 16-4 lead less than five minutes in and extended the advantage to 22-8 6:21 into the contest after hitting six-of-eight from three-point land. The Golden Bears, trailing 32-22 with over five minutes to go in the first, chipped away at the lead, scoring nine in a row, but Alaska took a 36-33 lead into the break.
Alaska held a slim 44-40 lead with 13:20 to play in the game but a trey by Thomas with 13 minutes on the clock scored a 9-2 run over 2:42 to give the Concordia-St. Paul a 49-46 advantage.
Teams went back-and-forth but with the Nanooks trailing 60-58, Olstad missed on a three-pointer with 1:02 to go but CSUP got the offensive rebound. Thirty seconds later, VanPelt converted an old-fashioned three-point play when he was fouled by Voeut to put the Golden Bears up 63-58 and put the game out of reach.
The Nanooks return home next week to open Great Northwest Athletic Conference play against seventh-ranked Seattle Pacific and Montana State-Billings.
"You want your non-conference schedule to prepare you for the GNAC and I felt the seven games are against teams that are in a lot of ways like GNAC teams," Durham said. "We're trying to learn from these games and hopefully we'll put it to use next weekend when we open GNAC play."

Orbital Development of Carson City, Nevada announced that legal action was begun in its "Eros Project" against the United States by filing a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment in Federal Court today.
Asteroid 433, Eros is lawfully owned by Gregory W. Nemitz since March 3, 2000. Orbital Development is managing the "Eros Project" for Nemitz. The Project was begun to require the US government to officially recognize his ownership of that asteroid. Nemitz estimates his property's value to be more than US$10 trillion.
When NASA permanently landed its NEAR Shoemaker spacecraft on Eros on February 12, 2001, Nemitz sent an invoice to NASA for parking and storage fees of $20, to pay for one full century of rent. Citing its interpretation of the United Nations' Outer Space Treaty of 1967, NASA refused to pay the invoiced amount.
Official Notice was then sent to the United States Department of State informing the agency that NASA had exceeded its authority and had denied Nemitz of his Rights. The Department of State officially responded on August 15, 2003 by also citing its interpretation of the Treaty, that Nemitz's "claim is without legal basis."
Nemitz asserts in the Court filings that "no treaty has ever abrogated, overthrown, or amended constitutional law" The suit is seeking $1,107 in damages, rulings to overturn the NASA and Department of State conclusions, and a ruling that Nemitz's Claim to ownership of the asteroid is a Lawful and valid Claim.
The central issue of the case submitted to the Court is "Treaty vs. the Natural, Inherent Rights of Man" to acquire and own property. The side issue of whether actual possession is required prior recognized ownership, is moot in this regard. US District Judge Howard D. McKibben has been assigned to the action.
When asked why he is taking the United States Government court, Nemitz stated, "As basic principle, the very foundation of all government action resides in the social contract among those governed, which allows their government officials to act towards protecting individual and property rights.
"If any government, or treaty to which a government adheres, rules that private ownership of private property in Space unlawful, they will have lost all their legitimate footing to be a government of, for, and by the People who view Space as a Frontier. We need to know where the US stands on this critical issue."
On November 21, 2003, Nemitz will speak about Property Rights in Space and Space Property Law at the International Lunar Conference in Hawaii. His presentation is titled, "Developing Property Claims and Asteroid Eros".

The Safety Nannies Take Over
Manoa - Nov 04, 2003
A few days ago a parcel arrived on my front porch writes Jeffrey F. Bell. It contained a new high-intensity halogen reading lamp to replace one that died after 13 years of faithful service. When unpacked, it proved to have a sinister new feature: a six-inch-long steel loop thrusting menacingly downward from the bulb housing. The Safety Nannies had struck again!

A unique "perfect storm-like" scenario has set the stage for an incredible real estate buying opportunity in Palm Desert, CA.
Palm Desert, California (PRWEB) October 16, 2012
Brad Schmett, Broker Associate with Luxury Homes by Keller Williams and real estate expert, has announced today that savvy baby boomers are continuing to buy real estate in Palm Desert and the greater Palm Springs, CA area at a record pace. Favorable economic factors, including historically low mortgage interest rates and 10-year low real estate prices, have combined to make now the best time to buy real estate in Palm Desert and the surrounding desert cities.
Brad Schmett, an expert in Palm Desert, CA real estate, helps buyers find the ideal property to accommodate a particular lifestyle – while maximizing their real estate investment. Brad and his team are also experts at helping sellers strategically position their property for sale.
According to Schmett, "A unique blending of economic and local real estate market conditions has created a near "perfect storm-like" scenario that has set the stage for an incredible residential real estate buying opportunity in Palm Desert and the surrounding desert cities. And baby boomers, from both the U.S and Canada, are taking advantage of what many consider to be a once in a lifetime buying opportunity."
Brad Schmett, a broker with over 25 years of business experience, has acquired a keen understanding of the needs and concerns of his clients, in particular his baby boomer clientele. "About two-thirds of my overall client base falls into the baby boomer category. If they're already full-time residents, the trend I see is for them to downsize from larger homes. They want to slow down a bit and enjoy the unique desert lifestyle and all the attractions it has to offer."
Schmett says, "With my seasonal and snowbird baby boomer clients, the trend is for them to sell their large, primary residences, move into a smaller property or condominium at home, and then buy a second home here in the Palm Desert area. They want to slow down and enjoy life more as well – and they see Palm Desert as a great place to retreat to with family and friends, especially during the blustery, cold winter season." Schmett adds, "My clients' price ranges vary depending on their specific purchase criteria, but can range from the $200,000s up to multi-million dollar purchases at exclusive Bighorn Golf Club."
The lowest real estate prices in over a decade, coupled with an attractive inventory level of Palm Desert homes for sale, has given buyers more options than ever before in the greater Palm Springs, California real estate market. Schmett urges, "we may never see the likes of this type of buying opportunity in our lifetimes again. Now is definitely an incredible time to buy Palm Desert real estate."

A Fan's View Of The CBJ Comeback
By Matt McCoy
Can't get enough of Wednesday night's Blue Jackets win? Neither can I. It was a special night in Nationwide Arena as the Jackets rally from a 3-0 deficit and beat the Penguins in overtime 4-3.
I went to YouTube and found a couple cool videos, posted by a part of the Blue Jackets "fifth line." A Jackets fan, with the poster name of "Buckrovsky", was in the upper reaches of the arena and rolled on both the game tying goal by Brandon Dubinsky and the game winner in overtime by Nick Foligno. The videos give you a different perspective on the goals and a feel of what it was like in Nationwide. Pretty awesome stuff.
Video 1: Here's the Dubinsky equalizer...To video runs 4:42. To get to the goal itself, go to about the 1:40 mark to see the set-up of the play...the blunder by Pittsburgh goalie Mark Andre Fleury..and then the Dubinsky score.
Video 2: Here's the Foligno game winner. This video captured the entire overtime and continues with the celebration after the goal. The entire thing runs 9:00. The goal itself is just over 3 minutes in.
NBC Sports Network
Locally we saw the game on Fox Sports Ohio and Jeff Rimer, Bill Davidge, Jody Shelley, our own Dave Maetzold and the crew did a fabulous job. For a different perspective though, here are the tying and winning goals, as called by Kenny Albert on the national broadcast on the NBC Sports Network.
Here's the Dubinsky goal:

This absolutely has to be the silliest endorsement for solar power we have ever seen. There are forces trying out there trying to get President Obama to turn the White House completely green with solar panels but that just hasn't happened yet. We know he wanted to do that eventually but certainly he has had other, more important things on his mind the last four years. Here's hoping Bo's own inaugural party given by Rooftop Revolution will be the hint his owner needs.
Visit the site that planned and provided the party for the First Dog last week. While you are there you can sign a petition to help get those panels up on the White House roof.

It looks like some U.S. solar companies are finally getting it right. California's Sungevity has secured $40 million in venture funding in addition to $85 million for financing residence installation. The company joins SolarCity and other companies that continue to make a profit, helping to improve the energy's somewhat spotty reputation. Potential customers can lease equipment with the results of reducing dependence on foreign oil, easing the planet's carbon footprint and, best of all, costing nothing upfront while saving money in the long run.
We have to admit that the company's Solar 101 video is pretty convincing. Contact Sungevity to get a free iQuote and find out more.

Solar energy is taking an interesting new twist in the shape of a cone with V3Solar's Spin Cell. Instead of harvesting only the spillover of electrons, the V3 releases them as it rotates, resulting in generating over twenty times more electricity than a flat panel with the same area. You can visit their site to see exactly how the process works. The good news is that the company has teamed with Nectar Design to complete their design and will soon supply 800,000 units for a solar farm in Australia. V3Solar should have their Spin Cells available to the public in 2013.

While the power has been restored to most of the 600 million in India who were affected by the outage, there are those who feel that power grid failure may occur again due to too much demand and not enough supply. So it is no surprise that the country is looking to increase alternate power sources.
Solar power is often used in remote regions, as shown in this video from SunEdison. They recently built a 15 kilowatt plant in central India's Meerwada village with enough power to serve 70 houses. Hopefully solar power will become more widespread in time, including in congested urban centers.

A large renewable energy company in Australia has released a video that helps those who want to convert to solar power. Energy Matter's Director James Walter explains the differences between manufacturers and gives details about the technology. And while we know this is a commercial, EM does prove that not all solar panels are created equal. The site has other helpful videos and guides to help you turn green, no matter where you live.

The Israeli company BSolar has perfected bifacial solar cells that they say produces up to 30% KWH per KWp in a standard application and up to 50% in vertical ones. Because they are made with standard equipment, the double-sided monocrystalline silicon cells can be feasible for the mass market. They are made with boron instead of aluminum which increases the cell's efficiency when the backside of the cell absorbs reflective light. Boron is more expensive to use but is also more resistant to breakage.

Pres. Barack visited Boulder City, Nevada to tour Sempra Generation's Copper Mountain Solar Facility last Wednesday. He spoke briefly and admired both the system and Hoover Dam, commenting that "This city has always been about the future." While some believed the move to be political and were disgruntled that tourists would be denied road access, the mayor saw it as a way to bring attention to the growing industry.
While the area already houses 700,000 solar panels, Mayor Roger Tobler says that in the next 3 - 5 years, there will be the potential for 1,500 to 3,000 new jobs. As the area has had its share of economic problems the past few years, an increase of revenue and extra employment should give them a welcome boost.

Most solar cells need to be aimed towards the sun for maximum efficiency but Kyosemi's spherical micro cell arrays can collect energy from every angle. Sphelar cells are only 1 - 2 mm across and can be even be mounted on curved surfaces. Designed for outside use, because of their shape they work earlier in the morning and later in the evening than flat cells.

When we first saw this story we wondered what the fuss was about. It seems that GE invested $100 million in a 127 megawatt solar farm near Arlington, AZ, whose population is a mere 194. Another one built was serviceable to Desert Center, CA a town of only 204. It seems that the farms are almost as large as the cities that they support.
So what is the big whoop? The two Sonora Desert projects together generate more than half the power produced by a single unit of the nearby Palo Verde nuclear power plant. It should provide hundreds of new construction jobs and displace 515,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas, the equivalent of taking about 98,000 cars off the road.

What looked like a no-go solar project is now back on with a private equity loan. This should be just the boost the flailing industry needs as Solar City will place power systems on 120,000 homes on military bases. They got the funding for the project dubbed SolarStrong from Bank of America Merrill Lynch after failing to acquire a loan from the DOA, partially due to stricter restrictions placed post Solyndra. Although the total amount was lessened by 40,000 homes, the project will create at least 300 megawatts of power and thousands of jobs during installation.
via Solar City
GE has built a better mousetrap solar system that they claim reduces the $6.50 per watt cost to a mere $3.00. Charlie Korman of the NY Global Research Center says that solar panel arrays are currently high-voltage systems that involve using equipment to switch it to a 120 volt current. Their solution is to create panels with socket ready AC current. This means the system needs only a standard installation kit, takes half a day to construct (as opposed to 2 days) and uses 60% fewer components.
A prototype has been constructed by the team and GE plans to build a new plant near Denver, CO to manufacture the new panels. This means that more jobs will open up for those who specialize in research and those seeking manufacturing employment. Kudos to GE for investing in the clean energy despite setbacks and bankruptcies of other solar companies.
Constellation Energy took on the Denver International Airport to make the facility the largest in the US to support solar power. The total amount is 8 megawatts supplied by 19,000 photovoltaic panels which will release more than 5,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide. The entire project encompasses 7 acres and cost a cool 13 million to complete. Constellation has been busy of late, having gotten contracts to build systems for GM in Baltimore, a Toys 'R Us distribution center in Flanders, NJ and the Sacramento Municipal Utility Distrct.
(Thanks, Caren)
Via Constellation
Toys 'R Us claims that it will soon have the largest solar system in North America. Located atop their distribution center in Flanders, NJ, the roof spans about 32 acres and about 20 of those will be covered in panels. The Constellation Energy project should be completed by the end of summer and will provide about 72% of the building's electricity.

Talk about being creative. Tom Moloughney of Chester, NJ actually powers up his all-electric Mini Cooper via his residential solar system. He drives 62 miles round trip to his restaurant Nauna's Bella Casa in Montclair and figures that he saves about $5,000 a year. Moloughney, concerned about our foreign oil dependence, was allowed to participate in a BMW pilot program that included 612 Mini Es.
After he realized that the electricity he used came from coal and gas-fired power plants, as well as from nuclear sources, he came up with this solution. By the way, his license plate reads "EF-OPEC." Check out his journey via the link.

The Nationals this week will announce a new membership program for all half- and full-season ticket holders, "Nats Plus," meant to deepen the team's connection with its biggest customers by providing increased access to players and coaches, exclusive on-field experiences and bigger discounts on concessions and retail items.
Mailings explaining the new program already went out to the team's 21-game partial-plan holders; the rest of the season-ticket base should receive their explanatory packets this week. "Nats Plus" branding will also appear throughout Nationals Park on Thursday, when the team returns to Washington after a nine-game road trip.
The program will be marketed as something of a VIP club, with slogans like "Exclusively for our most passionate fans" and "Tickets plus the status you deserve."
"Ideally, we've created something aspirational," said Valerie Camillo, the team's chief revenue and marketing officer. "It's not a model that's foreign to customers; the deeper your relationship with any brand or product, the more you get out of it….This is not designed for the casual fan; it's designed for people that are really into the team and have expressed that through their commitment to the team."
The new program was created after asking plan holders how to improve their experience, according to Camillo. The most popular responses, she said, revolved around exclusive experiences, enhanced rewards and special access.
And so in 2015, full-plan holders will be able to take batting practice and play catch on the field at Nats Park. Half- and full-plan holders will be invited to private autograph sessions and have the chance to take family holiday photos on the field.
They will also receive bigger discounts; full-plan holders will get 20 percent off at team stores, and 20 percent eCash-back when using their membership cards to pay for concessions. Those numbers will be 15 percent for half-plan holders, and five percent for partial-plan holders, who won't be part of the Nats Plus program. Partial-plan holders previously received benefits nearly identical to those of full-plan holders.
Nats Plus members will receive a black card for ticketing and eCash spending — all cards were previously red.
These benefits, Camillo said, will give fans further incentive to buy the larger season-ticket packages in an era with ready access to tickets on the secondary market.
Some partial-plan holders have expressed concern at being left out of the "Nats Plus" umbrella. The team is offering to connect interested partial-plan holders with each other, allowing them to form larger groups and then buy a bigger ticket package. For the first year of the program, partial-plan holders who upgrade could also qualify for discounts, according to the mailing from the team.
"We will continue to value all of our customers, even if you choose to remain at the partial plan holder level," Camillo wrote in her letter to fans.
The program, she said, offers "opportunities that aren't being afforded to the general population" for the team's most committed customers, whom she called "the lifeblood of the franchise."
"This is about creating lifetime customers," she said. "People in bigger plans are more likely to stay in the Nationals family year after year, season after season. We're not looking to sell this to make money off it; we're trying to get core fans committed to us for the long term."
