2 EDGE is a great example of a successful public-private partnership, which has created a terrific roadmap helping to produce a qualified and skilled workforce for a very important emerging industry sector, both now and far into the future. It's a California success story. San Diego's EDGE Initiative created curriculum and training tools with their Green Innovation Challenge grant that can also be used and adopted by other regions and organizations, which will continue to leverage the value of California's investment. Victoria Bradshaw former Secretary, California Labor and Workforce Development Agency
3 OVERVIEW The EDGE (Educating and Developing Workers for the Green Economy) Initiative received a State of California Green Innovation Challenge grant in 2010, funded through the state s Contingency Fund, the Federal Workforce Investment Act and the Wagner-Peyser Act. The grants are intended to help meet current employment needs in the green economy, while also getting unemployed and underemployed people back to work in an innovative field with tremendous potential. The ultimate goal is to create an infrastructure capable of supporting employment growth in the green economy through the next decade. The EDGE Initiative proposal was submitted for funding by the San Diego Biofuels Initiative, a collaborative that includes CleanTECH San Diego, BIOCOM, the BIOCOM Institute, San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation, San Diego Center for Algae Biotechnology, UC San Diego, UCSD Extension, San Diego State University, University of San Diego, MiraCosta College and the San Diego Workforce Partnership. This group includes forward-looking policy makers, experienced life science veterans, world-class researchers, and an industry support system recognized for its depth and familiarity with the demands a nascent industry faces as it grows. The EDGE Initiative s focus is alternative and renewable fuels and industrial biotechnology. Over the last two years, the EDGE Initiative has trained and placed hundreds of workers in these industries by creating curriculum and career-focused tools that will continue to set the standard for workforce training in San Diego County, Imperial County and other regions.

4 INDUSTRY San Diego County s employment in biofuels is growing at a rapid pace, with jobs in the sector doubling between 2009 and An economic impact analysis, prepared by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and sponsored by CleanTECH San Diego and Bank of America, shows that in 2011 there were 466 workers engaged in biofuels research. These jobs generated more than $41 million in payroll and $80.9 million in economic activity for the San Diego region. In turn, the $80.9 million generates economic activity in other local industries which results in an additional $12.5 million in payroll and approximately $32.9 million in additional economic activity, attributable to the goods and services that companies engaged in biofuel purchase from local vendors. Additionally, according to a recent analysis by BIOCOM and BayBio, the state s industrial biotechnology industry (which includes biofuels as well as chemicals, improved feedstock and genomics) experienced an aggregate increase of 75 percent in the total number of employees since 2006 and has maintained a significant amount of commercial production within the state. We ve gone from zero to 500 jobs in the last four years. If algae works and we re proving every day in the lab and in field experiments that the economic model for production can work we re going to be looking at 50,000 jobs, not 500. Stephen Mayfield, Ph.D. Director, San Diego Center for Algae Biotechnology John Dove Issacs Chair of Natural Philosophy, Division of Biological Sciences UC San Diego
5 Much of the success of the EDGE Initiative is due to the involvement of our region s biofuels and industrial biotech industry leaders. Without them, the development of a program that specifically meets their employment needs both now and in the future would not have been possible. As the industry continues to develop, the courses will be adapted to meet future needs. Jason Anderson Vice President CleanTECH San Diego PROGRAM To launch the program, an EDGE Industry Advisory Council was formed to assist in training program development. In addition, a needs assessment was conducted in the form of a workforce survey. Partners participated at numerous industry conferences and forums to enable diverse stakeholders to meet and share information. The EDGE Initiative surveyed employers to uncover commercialization barriers and identify priority workforce needs. Armed with this knowledge, partners were able to better understand market priorities and hiring practices in order to properly tailor the EDGE program to meet growing industry needs and energize economic engines within the sector. Industry Advisory Members included: Bank of America, Buster Biofuels, Earthrise Nutritionals, General Atomics, Green Talent Staffing, Kai Bioenergy, Kent BioEnergy, Life Technologies, Pearson Fuels, Sapphire Energy, San Diego Gas & Electric, SG Biofuels, Synthetic Genomics, UBS Financial Services, Cellana and Chubb Group of Insurance Companies. Partners in the EDGE Initiative acknowledged that a critical component to creating a successful green career pathway program was to ensure that a feedback loop was in place. Meetings were held with key regional, state and federal officials as well as other stakeholders to educate them about the EDGE Initiative and to engage in dialogue about the challenges and opportunities associated with course development. Based on industry feedback, training components were created under the EDGE Initiative. Employers indicated that if participants started working in their facilities and met performance objectives, they would likely convert those participants to regular employees. These placement opportunities would also give participants the needed work experience that hiring managers and human resource professionals look for in potential employees. More than half of the companies on the Industry Advisory Council offered internships and worksite training for prospective employees to introduce them to their companies, enhance recruitment, and advance labor force entry from diverse groups. EDGE Biofuels Science Technician Certificate students engaged in the Aquatic Microbiology Laboratory course.
6 Anyone can work in biotech or the biofuels industry. The skills can be learned and training can enable people to get good-paying jobs in a growing industry. When developing curriculum for the EDGE Initiative we structured the program with a base of foundational classes so students will build technical skills that are transferable between biotech and biofuels. Mike Fino Professor and Program Coordinator, Biotechnology Program MiraCosta College SCOPE The scope of the program ranges from technician training to advanced scientific research, echoing the range of positions currently available in the industry: Biomass Production Training Certificate: This certificate provides a foundation in the technologies employed by biotechnology companies engaged in the production of microalgal biomass for biofuels. It is also applicable for other biomass production careers. Biofuels Science Technician Certificate: Tracks - Biological/Biofuels Lab Technician, Microbiological/ Crop Management, Biofuels Analytical Chemist: This certificate provides hands-on technical training in biofuels production and the analysis and processing required to excel in a management-level biofuels career encompassing three areas: analytical chemistry; microbiological/crop management; or biological/biofuels lab techniques. Advanced Training in Biofuels Production Certificate (Masters of Advanced Studies): This degree will build on current knowledge and help improve the science of biofuels, preparing degree holders to assume responsibility for important research in the growing biofuels industry. This provides technical knowledge and hands-on experience in biofuels production, analysis and processing, as well as basic biotechnology business and entrepreneurial skills. Industrial Biotech Immersion Program: This online certificate program uses industry-driven curriculum to provide individuals the business acumen and soft skills they need to successfully transition into industrial biotech careers. Biocollaborative Web Portal: A primary challenge facing the clean technology industry in meeting its workforce needs is increasing awareness, knowledge, and experience for this sector. BIOCOM, the BIOCOM Institute and the Biofuels Initiative have piloted a strategy for addressing this central need with the BioCollaborative, an online portal for connecting job seekers with industry. This portal will expand to provide workers with job search assistance resources and direct connections to biofuels firms. The certificate programs are administered by MiraCosta College and UCSD Extension. The Master s program is currently under development in the Division of Biological Sciences at UC San Diego. To date, 311 students have been enrolled in EDGE training programs and 102 have been placed in positions or entered graduate school.
7 First graduating class of Biofuels Science Technician Certificate, Certificate students in the Microbiology/Crop Management track. PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS Although open to any student, courses created by the EDGE Initiative were initially designed for individuals looking to work in a high-growth industry, individuals transitioning from declining industries, professionals making a career change and veterans transitioning into a civilian work environment. With the inclusion of the Industrial Biotech Immersion program, courses were designed to be accessible to all types of students. In the future, the certificate curriculum will be made available to any California university or college expanding training opportunities to those who want to gain basic science training to enter the biofuels industry. UCSD Extension will also be offering many of the Biofuels Science Technician Certificate courses online, expanding the training opportunities on a national and international scale. The EDGE Initiative was able to attract an exceptional caliber of participants due to its unique industry-driven curriculum, BioCollaborative online community, and wide breadth of work experience opportunities. The individuals who participated in EDGE programs represented unemployed and incumbent workers who demonstrated intellectual rigor and a passion for contributing to the future of our bioeconomy. Feedback from employers who hired EDGE graduates indicates that the training and skill building provided by the EDGE Initiative truly gives participants an advantage in today s highly competitive job market. Kristie Grover Executive Director BIOCOM Institute "The EDGE program gave me the opportunity to expand on my undergraduate training in biology and apply it to the field of biofuels. I learned not only the biology and chemistry behind biofuels, but I also gained valuable hands on experience with the techniques, systems and processes utilized by many algae biotech companies in the industry." Alex Lewis EDGE Intern, Biofuels Science Technician Certificate Now works at Synthetic Genomics "Participating in the EDGE Initiative training gave me the opportunity to network with people who are in the industry - not just algae - but all of the biotech/bio-science community here in San Diego. I was able to get a job and start a career. As a veteran, it was a chance to transfer skills I learned in the service to a new discipline that provides tremendous opportunity for growth. Eric Lessert Completed Biomass Production Training Program at MiraCosta College Now working in the biotechnology industry
8 INTERNSHIPS In addition to coursework, paid internships provided EDGE Initiative participants an opportunity to work in biofuels and industrial biotechnology companies. Internships were tailored by employers to a participant's education level and capabilities, providing hands-on laboratory experience. The experience also enabled interns to learn more about career options and receive mentoring from industry professionals. Between June 2011 and June 2012, 100 paid internships were made available through a competitive application process. In addition, EDGE partners organized a networking session for students, which allowed them to directly communicate with companies about potential career opportunities and jobs. The internships were not just a boon to trainees. Small companies, such as Buster Biofuels, welcomed the opportunity to have interns supported by the grant. We ve got people wearing lots of different hats here. We were open to having interns with no previous experience because here they can learn from the ground up. If someone is undecided about what way to go in terms of further education, a small company is the way to see it all. Buster Halterman CEO, Buster Biofuels Sapphire Energy was pleased to take part in hosting interns through the EDGE program, knowing that its pool of candidates provides some of the most promising talent in the field. We see industry training programs, like EDGE, that provide real-world experience to a young work force as a vital component in the technological progress, support, and development of the biofuels industry as it grows. Tim Zenk Vice President of Corporate Affairs, Sapphire Energy Students inoculating algae ponds with bag cultures grown during the Advanced Biomass Production course of the Biofuels Science Technician Certificate
9 THE FUTURE OF THE EDGE INITIATIVE The EDGE Initiative brought together a diverse group of stakeholders with a common goal: to build the biofuels and industrial biotech industry in San Diego. A significant result of the EDGE Initiative was the creation of a new collaboration among parties interested in the continued development and support of the region s biofuels and industrial biotech sector. Across the board, participants cite networking as a key benefit of program involvement. The EDGE Initiative was developed with the flexibility to take the model and export it to other industry associations and learning institutions across California, and potentially the globe. Funding is currently being pursued to take EDGE training curricula and convert it into online course modules for significantly increased access. The Industrial Biotech Immersion Program, an online certificate program, is available to give individuals the business acumen and soft skills needed to successfully transition into industrial biotech careers. The Biomass Production Training Certificate and Biofuels Science Technician Certificate will continue to be offered at MiraCosta College and UCSD Extension. Scholarships for the 2013 Biofuels Science Technician Certificate will be available courtesy of the Legler Benbough Foundation. Shorter, specialized biofuels certificates are also being developed for 2013 at UCSD Extension.

HSBC has sacked employees who made an "abhorrent" video in which they pretended to be Islamic State militants carrying out a beheading.
The video was posted online and shows a man dressed in an orange jumpsuit, while five other men in black stand around him - one holding a fake knife.
The Sun said the employees were members of the bank's legal division in Birmingham on a team building exercise.
The bank said it did not tolerate "inappropriate behaviour".
"As soon as the Sun brought this video to our attention we took the decision to sack the individuals involved," the bank said.
"This is an abhorrent video and HSBC would like to apologise for any offence caused."
The bank did not specify how many people had been sacked.
The newspaper has posted an eight-second clip of the video on its website in which one man shouts "Allahu Akbar" - Arabic for "god is great" - while others laugh.Oh, no, laughing at "Allahu Akbar" were they, the cheeky bastards?
I suppose they should be thankful that such "blasphemy" is only costing them their jobs and not their heads. (Didn't they realize that "an abhorrent video" could get one in big trouble?)
Update: How times have changed--here's a mocking, "inappropriate" video of another era (when such "offensive" humour helped win a war).
Update: Another WWII-era ditty that's delightfully "offensive":
Update: Then there's this "abhorrent" video...:

By Korina Lopez, USA TODAY
Britain's queen of quirk: Being a little crazy suits Florence Welch, aka Florence and The Machine. She believes that ghosts inhabit her clothing. She wears clown suits and capes. She's obsessed with the macabre. On her 2009 debut album, Lungs, she shares her weird, wonderful world by weaving fantastical imagery into throbbing drum lines and swooping melodies. Already a huge star in the U.K., the 23-year-old ex-choir girl is poised to take on the USA, too. Although her album is still making its way up the sales charts (97,000 copies sold domestically), she has already earned the attention of the MTV Video Music Awards. Her video Dog Days Are Over (it's the song you hear in the trailer for Julia Roberts' new film, Eat Pray Love) was nominated for four awards, including video of the year.
Welcome to America: The red-haired siren, who works with a rotating backing band, gets her mainstream introduction during the live show at Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre (Sept. 12, 9 p.m. ET/tape delay PT), where she'll perform Dog Days. "For this song to be recognized at such an iconic event is a total dream," Welch says. "Dog Days symbolizes apocalyptic euphoria, chaotic freedom and running really, really fast with your eyes closed. I hope to somehow encapsulate those things in my performance."
It began in the loo: In 2007, "I was at this tuxedo event," she says. "I cornered (former BBC DJ) Mairead Nash in the toilet and started singing Something's Got a Hold on Me by Etta James to her. She asked me to sing at her Christmas party, and now she's my manager. It's such a funny fluke that I started, quite literally, in the toilet."
Emotional roller coaster: Her lionhearted vocals are often compared to Kate Bush's, but Welch has a roar all her own. Inspired by Tom Waits, Otis Redding and gospel music, Welch, who started out as Florence Robot/Isa Machine and sang for punk bands, pours her feelings into her music. "Music is an outlet for my frustration when I go to my darkest place," says the art-school dropout. "I'm scared and joyful at the same time. But all my music is heartfelt and sincere."
Intoxicated inspiration: While some stars downplay their party habits, Welch happily admits to them. "Being drunk makes me less self-conscious, so I will sing whatever comes to me," says Welch, who as a schoolgirl was often berated for bursting into song in class. "The problem with that is that I never remember what I sang. But thanks to the wonders of technology, it can all be recorded."
Handling fame: Protecting her childlike wonder is how Welch stays sane. "I can't worry too much about the everyday things. Otherwise I'd lose touch with my own world," she says. "That helps me as an artist, but it's frustrating for the people around me. I'm vaguely functional, but there's always something slightly off."
Homebody: Despite her bohemian approach to life, Welch still lives at home with her mother, stepfather and six siblings. "There are always arguments about the washing (laundry) and doing dishes," she says. "I have my own room, though, which I've made into a sanctuary with my books and clothes and posters."
Sense of style: Welch is almost as famous for her wild outfits as she is for her music. "I loved playing dress-up," she says. "I created this entire imaginary world, and when I was 10, I realized that world didn't really exist, and that made me sad." Dressing up as a Victorian clown or Red Riding Hood helps her to return to that fantasy. She even believes that a ghost occupied one of her outfits, a pink dress with white lace that floated on the wind during a show. "I try to stay in that frame of mind all the time," she says. "I guess I'm just a big kid."
On the verge is a regular series that highlights up-and-comers in the music industry.

Kentucky coach John Calipari and assistant coaches Orlando Antigua and Kenny Payne watched Ellis, a top prospect out of Wichita, play an 8:15 a.m. game Thursday. So did head coaches from Duke, Memphis, UCLA, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Kansas State, North Carolina State, Alabama, Dayton and Miami.
"I think he was impressed by all the head coaches that came to his first game. He called me and went on and on about all the coaches that were there," said Fonda Ellis.
The 6-9 Ellis had narrowed his list to six schools before recently adding Duke after coach Mike Krzyzewski started recruiting him when he added Jeff Capel, a former Duke player who recently was fired as Oklahoma's head coach, to his staff.
"Perry wondered why coach K had not recruited him previously and asked him why and he said it was out of respect for coach Capel at Oklahoma because he used to play there and did not want to interfere with his recruiting because knew he how badly he wanted Perry," Fonda Ellis said. "He talked to him twice and then they offered him. Perry has always been a Duke fan, so he put them on his list."
She said her son has not ranked the seven schools in any order yet.
"He always speaks highly of all six schools (Kentucky, Memphis, Kansas,?Kansas State, Wichita and Oklahoma State) and he likes all the schools and coaches. I don't think he could go wrong with any of those schools myself. They all seem to have made him a priority," Fonda Ellis said. "I think Perry is going to see what happens this summer and see who keeps following him. He'll continue talking to all seven schools. He really wants to take all five visits in the fall, so two schools might not get a visit.
"If he would say at the end of the summer he just wants to visit three schools, then that would be fine with me. Perry just wants to feel comfortable with his choice and I don't care how he does it. I just want him to make the right choice. We are supportive like we were with our daughter (who played at Memphis), but we allowed her to make her own choice and it will be the same with Perry."
However, Fonda Ellis says it's hard not to be impressed with the 64 wins, Final Four appearance and nine NBA draft picks Calipari has had in two years at UK.
"I notice it. You can't not notice it. You look at the track record, the success, what players come and leave the program. Those are all things parents and players look at. It has been pretty amazing what coach Cal has done the last two years," she said.
Getting to the NBA after one year of college, though, is not a priority for Perry Ellis, who has a 4.0 grade-point average.
"We did watch the draft, but we really don't talk about the NBA," Fonda Ellis said. "We know that is Perry's ultimate goal. We also know it could be a long time before that happens. That's why he is focusing so much on his grades. You don't play forever and need a fallback plan. Education is great option.
"If basketball does not work, you have got to have that education in place. His goal is to play in the NBA, but we do not discuss it because we know it is several years before it is even possible and even then you don't know how long it might last. So we talk about getting that education."

Peter Lehmann Layers Red 2010
Other Red Blends from Barossa Valley, Barossa, Australia
Winemaker's Notes
Layers is a unique blend that delivers a highly enjoyable journey ofdiscovery for the senses in each and every glass. Shiraz delivers fruit depth and structure, combining beautifully with the aromatics and spiciness of Grenache, Mourvedre adds wild earthy notes to the blend and melds together with the firm, savory character of Tempranillo, to surround and soften the palate of this multi-dimensional wine.
This wine perfectly complements a wide variety of game, Mediterranean influenced dishes and spicy Indian curries.
Blend: 55% Shiraz, 18% Tempranillo, 17% Mourvedre, 10% Grenache
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Supple, velvety and generous with its red berry, cherry and cream flavors, mingling on the long and easygoing finish. Shiraz, Tempranillo, Mourvedre, Grenache and Counoise. Drink now through 2016."
Australian Wine Companion - "A Mediterranean blend in every respect and the fresh Provencal herb character is palpable; a juicy, medium-bodied wine that is pleasant, fleshy and savoury all at the same time; a drink to enjoy without pretense. Shiraz/Tempranillo/Mourvedre/Grenache."
Peter Lehmann Winery
The history of Peter Lehmann Wines is intrinsically linked to the events that made the Barossa famous. Formed in 1979 by Peter Lehmann to assist the grape growers of the region who at the time were facing financial ruin, they now enjoy the rewards of longstanding friendships and loyalty. Each vintage, over 160 grape growers supply Peter Lehmann with the best fruit from over 900 of the best vineyards located throughout the Barossa. These amazing resources enable them to craft wines for every occasion, including their flagship, Stonewall. Peter Lehmann Wines has developed a reputation as one of Australia's most respected, energetic and innovative premium wine producers and today, the team continues to create wines that delight wine lovers around the globe.

About Barossa ValleyView a map of Barossa Valley wineries
The Barossa zone consists of two sections - the Barossa Valley and the Eden Valley. Wines from the Eden Valley can be labelled Barossa or Barossa Valley.
Situated just a bit east of the large city of Adelaide, Barossa is Australia's wine headquarters. Mega producers are based here, boutique wineries call it home and a majority of the habitants claim their income on the wine industry. The valley is strewn with a series of hamlets, small towns spotted throughout the region.
Barossa ValleyBarossa is red-wine territory, with red grapes consisting of about two-thirds of the region's plantings. The reds, Shiraz in particular, are lauded for their rich, concentrated flavors and aging potential. Old vines of Shiraz and Grenache are popular, many up to 80 years old. The valley is home to some of the most famous vineyards of Australia - this is where the first Penfolds Grange was made. Whites are also found, mainly from the Semillon grape – these wines are as full-bodied as the reds although harder to find. Riesling and Chardonnay are also planted.
Eden ValleyRight next to Barossa Valley, but a bit higher in elevation, Eden Valley is an ideal neighbor. Many wineries source vineyards from both areas as the climate difference in Eden Valley leads to wines of a different character. Reds are still mainly Shiraz and Grenache, but the wines are often more restrained and less dense than those in the Barossa Valley. Whites are popular here too. Eden Valley Rieslings and Semillons are particularly excellent.
About AustraliaLike the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

text: Only thing this signing does is HOPEFULLY replace our best player on D last year. Mind you that Melton has a long way to go to getting those 11.5 sacks. That being said the defense was a train wreck even with hatcher last year so I think the team still needs to focus on DE. However my #1 pick would be Mosely. We desparately need LB. Lee May have a put up or shut up year if he can't stay healthy. Holloman MAY be a good player but I could go for 3 new starters at LB that aren't on this team. My only hope is that Wilcox and Heath will be better with a full offseason and thus I don't think we'll go after Pryor or Dix. Also I only want Martin if I thought we'd run it more but Linehan isn't likely to do that so give me a Kelvin Benjamin or Martin Basically to sum it up, Melton is nice but that only means the team hasn't regressed from last seasons D which was the situation we were in prior to this. They certainly haven't gotten better yet. And we only stay even par if Melton puts up 11.5 sacks.
