Story highlights
- News that Betsey Johnson retail stores are closing prompts outpour of nostalgia from fans
- Many fans connect moments in their lives with a Betsey Johnson dress
- Retail stores conducting going-out-of-business sales until July
- Less expensive line of the brand will still be sold in department stores
Linda Ross was instantly hooked the moment she received her first pair of Betsey Johnson earrings as a gift for her 16th birthday. The dangling, leopard-print hearts became her go-to accessory for adding oomph to any outfit.
Now, amid news that 67 Betsey Johnson retail stores in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom are liquidating and closing for good, this "Betsey Girl" from Brunswick, Georgia, is scrambling to acquire as much merchandise as she can.
Since the fashion house filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in April, Ross has driven to the nearest boutique in Jacksonville, Florida, for loot from the brand's high-end Betsey Johnson Collection.
"Her styles combine the young and girly elements -- like bows, floral patterns, excessive use of hot pink, and sparkles -- with mature and sexy elements, like corsets, high platform heels, lace, fishnets and lipstick," Ross said.
At 18, Ross embodies that "not a girl, not yet a woman" aesthetic at the heart of the designer's look for decades. An icon of the "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" mentality, Johnson is known for her bold and flirty apparel and accessories that incorporate just about every motif of feminine style imaginable, from tulle and silk to pastels and sequins.
The brand itself isn't going away. The decision to shutter stores is part of a larger effort to focus on wholesale business, said a spokesman for Steve Madden, which has owned the brand's intellectual property rights since 2010. Sales will continue until July or until a store runs out of stock.
Nor is Johnson disappearing the industry scene. She will stay on as creative director of Betsey Johnson and continue working on the brand's less expensive line, which is sold in department stores and specialty boutiques across the country. She even attended the annual Council of Fashion Designers of America awards on Monday, suggesting that her days of cartwheeling down the runway are not quite over.
Yet, the prospect of her fading from the landscape provoked an outpouring of nostalgia from a generation of fans who connect moments in their lives with her designs.
"I remember first seeing Betsey's designs when I was a little girl in fashion magazines. Thought she was so cool and looked like she was having so much fun, surrounded by all that color & whimsey!" a fan wrote on Betsey Johnson's Facebook page. "She inspired me to become a jewelry designer, really gonna miss her, but I'm sure she won't just be sitting around, doing nothing, with all that energy & imagination! Best of luck to you & thanks!"
There's a lot of sentimental longing connected with her designs, said Leah Chernikoff, executive editor of fashion and style blog, Fashionista. For a lot of people, a Betsey Johnson was their first fancy dress.
"The reason she's so beloved is that she is sort of her own person and unique in the fashion landscape," she said. "She's effusive and energetic and positive so that even if young 20-somethings in Williamsburg aren't clamoring to wear Betsey Johnson, or maybe they are because it's ironic at this point, she's not someone who's seen as tired."
Much of her popularity stems from her industry longevity, not only as a businesswoman but as a vibrant personality known for ending her runway shows with a cartwheel, Chernikoff said.
Johnson's career began in 1964, when she officially entered the New York fashion scene by winning Mademoiselle magazine's Guest Editor Contest, her company biography says. One year later, she landed the top designer position for Paraphernalia, a clothing boutique that housed the hottest young designers. In 1978, after a decade of designing for other labels, Betsey decided to launch the Betsey Johnson label as it is known today.
In 1972, Johnson, along with Halston, won the Coty "Winnie" Award for outstanding designs. At the 1999 CFDA Awards, Betsey was presented the Timeless Talent Award, created especially for her, which recognized her influence on fashion throughout her career. In late 2002, Betsey was inducted into the Fashion Walk of Fame, honoring her contribution to American fashion.
The demise of her stores signals the end of an era. As customers gradually buy up the last of the stock inside her standalone stores, what were once pink-walled paradises, equal parts princess and punk, are now somber shells. A visit on Sunday to the store in Georgia's Perimeter Mall revealed lonely racks stripped bare of toile jumpers, sequin dolman tunics and crepe babydoll dresses. The elaborate displays of colorful purses were gone, leaving empty spaces in their place.
The pink flowered bench where customers used to try on funky bejeweled high-heeled platform shoes had a big 'SOLD' sign on it, as did the artwork in one of the dressing rooms. Only a few varieties of the celebrated shoes remained on the shelves. All of the furnishing and fixtures, including those shelves, were also for sale or sold already.
Yet, the poofy prom-style dresses still cost more than $100, even after storewide discounts from 30% to 60%, underscoring complaints that her goods were too expensive and ran too small for the general population.
"I bet if the prices were more reasonable this would not have happened," one fan wrote on the Betsey Johnson Facebook page.
"I love her clothes, but it's hard for me to fit in them. They are made for tiny women; I'm a 12. Maybe if she started making larger sizes she could stay open," another Facebook fan said.
It's a risky move for brands to bypass department stores and branch out into retail because then they have the costs of real estate and overhead to worry about, which usually requires a steep markup, said Vincent Quan, associate professor of fashion marketing management at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology.
"If your growth is anemic and someone else's growth is higher than yours, they're gaining the market share at your expense," Quan said.
It's tempting to blame the economy, he said, but the luxury goods market has experienced an upswing the past two years. The plain and simple truth is that customers simply stopped shopping at Betsey Johnson as other brands gained market share, he said.
"You need to think about your target customer and reason for being. She was fun and exciting but you need a product that sells. Your customer out there is looking for goods that are trendy and things you can wear. They're also looking at your competition," he said.
"When you talk to fans there's a loyalty element, she's hip and cool, but style changes and how does that change affect your purchasing decisions?"
This isn't goodbye forever, though. Through parent company Steve Madden, Betsey Johnson and Betseyville merchandise will still be available in department stores worldwide, which is good news for Janna Robles, who embraces Johnson's exaggerated girliness with a womanly edge.
"I love how she plays with loud colors, unique prints, and sparkly things. I also love the fact that even though her designs are girly and feminine, she makes sure that there's a twist to them, making girls stand out in any crowd," the 24-year-old said.
Robles, who lives in the Philippines, makes a stop at a Betsey Johnson boutique every time she visits relatives in the United States. That is, if she hasn't already convinced them to send her a little "surprise" in the mail.
Johnson even inspired Robles to start designing her shoes while in law school.
While some fans are raiding the shops to keep a bit of Betsey in their lives, one Kansas City fashionista has a unique connection to the iconic designer.
Betsy Wanless, 27, had always been a fan of Betsey Johnson, but when she got married in 2011, her brand loyalty was solidified by holy matrimony.
"I was always Betsy Wanless, and then in 2011 I married Matt Johnson and am now Betsy Johnson."
On her wedding day, the former Ms. Wanless sported sky-high Betsey Johnson red shoes to pay tribute to her new name.
While certainly no one can fill Johnson's shoes, Chernikoff of Fashionista doesn't think this is the end of Betsey Johnson.
"A lot of designers go (into) bankruptcy and bounce back. Her whole spirit is about being buoyant and resilient and seeing that translating to her business," she said. "Her brand will still be around, just not in the same way."

Now since having nuclear silos are open targets for preemptive strikes Pakistan as well as Iran(chemical arsenal) need to devise strategies to increase the survivability of the equipment in case of preemptive strikes.
Iran does not have nukes so can emulate the 2nd strike options with chemical weapons although less effective but still deterrant.
1- This you already have. Say you have 70 nukes. just choose 5 of them and prepare the launch trucks. Load the launch trucks to warship. Warship is vulnurable but still a better option than a static land target which will be targeted by preemptive strike. In case of an attack warship unloads the truck to the shore which would fire the ballistic missile.
2-This option both Pakistan and Iran has which is launching chemical or nuclear cruise missiles from warships. This option can be developed further to be launched from submarines but launching from surface warships is already an available second strike option.
3-Ship launched ballistic missiles. Both countries should work on it and come up with a solution as soon as possible. It is a deterrant and in case stealthier warships are built the deterrance would be much better.
4-submarine launched ballistic missiles. Which is somewhat ahead of us or maybe developed secretly. Diesel engine quiet submarines although carry less should be the option. Since it is a deterrant measure it is enough and more stealthier than nuclear submarines.
I am sure usa tries to portray countries like Iran and Pakistan as threats as boogeyman that would invade the world and stuff. North Korea already claims to have submarine launch system. Is it because these are muslim countries that turns them to boogeyman. Then usa needs to do more for israel. The trust with us and our allies is not so fragile and we know that if it is not there then at the end usa will impose what we should like and what we should be afraid of as it is currently trying right now.
Also in addition to that surface launch of cruise missiles by submarines is possible which still has survivability of submarine. And firing of the cruise missile is easier when submarine surfaces above water.

A writer never forgets the first time that he accepts some money or praise in exchange for a story. He never forgets the first time that he feels the sweet venom of vanity in his blood, and he believes that if he manages that no one discovers his lack of talent the literary dream will be capable of placing a roof over his head, a hot plate for the end of the day and his deepest yearning: his name impressed on a miserable piece of paper which surely will survive longer than he. A writer is condemned to remember that moment, because from then on he is lost and his soul has a price.And:
A writer never forgets the first time he accepted a few coins or a word of praise in exchange for a story. He will never forget the sweet poison of vanity in his blood, and the belief that, if he succeeds in not letting anyone discover his lack of talent, the dream of literature will provide him with a roof over his head, a hot meal at the end of the day, and what he covets the most: his name printed on a miserable piece of paper that surely will outlive him. A writer is condemned to remember that moment, because from then on he is doomed and his soul has a price.
One of those is mine, of course. I'll let those who haven't read the book in English guess which is which. I have to say that I feel better about my own translation after comparing it to Lucia Graves' excellent rendering of Zafón's words. I'm going to guess there will be quite a few people pleased with the quality of her translation, while others may be curious about how the two of us chose to interpret the Spanish original, which I guess I should supply to those of you who are bilingual:
Un escritor nunca olvida la primera vez que acepta unas monedas o un elogio a cambio de una historia. Nunca olvida la primera vez que siente el dulce veneno de la vanidad en la sangre y cree que, si consigue que nadie descubra su falta de talento, el sueño de la literatura será capaz de poner techo sobre su cabeza, un plato caliente al final del día y lo que más anhela: su nombre impreso en un miserable pedazo de papel que seguramente vivirá más que él. Un escritor está condenado a recordar ese momento, porque para entonces ya está perdido y su alma tiene precio.

Interim Dallas Town Manager Jim Palenick is still locked in an ongoing legal battle with a former employer that fired him, alleging he is owed more than $110,000 in back pay.
Interim Dallas Town Manager Jim Palenick is still locked in an ongoing legal battle with a former employer that fired him, alleging he is owed more than $110,000 in back pay.
But Palenick said he would be willing to bury the hatchet and waive his claim against the city of Rio Rancho, N.M., if they would only give him his old job back. And he demonstrated that by formally applying for the open position this month.
�It�s a place I absolutely love,� he said Monday. �I enjoyed the job and almost everything about it. It�s not a place I wanted to leave.�
Palenick was Rio Rancho�s city manager from 2003 to December 2006, when a newly elected City Council fired him. He went job hunting and was hired as Gastonia�s city manager in August 2007, but was promptly fired again last December by another newly elected City Council that was disgruntled with his performance.
Former Dallas City Manager Ed Munn was then hired to replace Palenick, and Palenick took Munn�s place.
Palenick�s salary as Gastonia�s top administrator was $141,102, though he now makes $80,000 in Dallas. He has continued looking for other, higher-paying positions across the country, and is currently a finalist for the city manager post in Pueblo, Col.
Rio Rancho has remained on Palenick�s radar because of his wrongful termination dispute with the city. But he submitted a resume for his old job there this month.
Open meetings violation
In the Oct. 12 cover letter that accompanied his application, Palenick said his lawsuit over back pay wasn�t really about money.
�My litigation against the city was never about gaining additional or unwarranted remuneration, but rather about upholding the principle of open transparent government and setting a precedent of accountability,� he wrote. �I am certain the matter could be easily resolved to everyone�s satisfaction if I were to be considered for the position.�
Eight months after Palenick was fired, the New Mexico attorney general reviewed how the decision came about and rendered it invalid. He determined that Rio Rancho�s former mayor and several City Council members held private conversations before voting on the termination.
Rio Rancho responded by voting again to terminate Palenick in November 2007 � 11 months after the initial action.
But Palenick didn�t let the issue die. Bolstered by the attorney general�s ruling, he filed his lawsuit in 2008, demanding more than $110,000 in back pay for the 11 months that he was theoretically still employed � but not paid � by Rio Rancho.
The city maintains it doesn�t owe Palenick more money because he demanded and received a $111,000 severance package.
The case has made its way all the way to the New Mexico Supreme Court, which heard oral arguments from either side in September. A decision is not expected for several months.
No hard feelings?
Palenick said Monday he felt there were several things that were unfinished and not properly reconciled when he was fired from Rio Rancho in 2006. He said it was very similar to how his tenure ended in Gastonia, when several of the elected officials who had hired him were ousted from office.
Only one of the Rio Rancho City Council members who fired him in 2006 is still there, he said. Rio Rancho�s most recent city manager retired �involuntarily� in July, according to the city.
�In March, they had another major changeover,� Palenick said. �The opportunity for me to go back to a community I very much enjoyed was compelling.�
Palenick said he has not corresponded with Rio Rancho leaders since applying for his old job. The details of how the lawsuit might be resolved, were he to be hired, also have yet to be discussed.
�I guess my expectation at this point is they�re following a process like anybody would in their search,� he said. �They haven�t gotten to the point of talking to finalists.�
Casting a wide net for future positions only makes sense, he said.
�I think anybody does that when they�re trying to further their career and examine potential opportunities,� he said.

Obama to GOP: What'll it take?
President Barack Obama and House Republicans clashed in a meeting Thursday afternoon over how soon the government can be reopened, even as the GOP offered to lift the debt limit for six weeks, according to sources familiar with the session.
House Republicans told Obama at the White House that they could reopen the federal government by early next week if the president and Senate Democrats agree to their debt-ceiling proposal. After the debt ceiling is lifted, a House GOP aide said they would seek some additional concessions in a government funding bill.
Story Continued Below
Obama repeatedly pressed House Republicans to open the government, asking them "what's it going to take to" end the shutdown, those sources said. He questioned why the government should remain closed if both sides agreed to engage in good-faith negotiations on the budget, according to a Democratic source briefed on the meeting.
( WATCH: 10 great quotes on debt ceiling fight)
The meeting was described by both sides as cordial but inconclusive. Obama acknowledged to Republicans that notable progress had been made. Sources described the meeting without attribution, because the meeting was private.
Aides will continue the discussion through the night to see if they could find common ground on how to move forward on the debt limit and government funding. The short-term debt hike — which was originally proposed at the closed GOP meeting Thursday — did not include plans to reopen the government.
Obama agreed to review the House Republican proposal for reopening the government, but reiterated that he wouldn't pay a ransom, the Democratic source said.
At the meeting, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) described the Republicans' process as being two steps: passing the debt ceiling bill, and then opening a broad budget conference before the government can be reopened.
( PHOTOS: 18 times the government has shut down)
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) told Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Treasury Secretary Jack Lew that this was a "good-faith" effort by Republicans. Ryan said both sides should "put their guns back in their holsters" — a bid to reach an agreement to avoid default, reopen the government and start broader budget talks.
Biden was mostly quiet in the meeting but did say at one point that Obama has made concessions as president that he hasn't seen in 36 years in the Senate.
Publicly, House Republicans were mum when they returned to the Capitol.
"We had a very useful meeting," Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said, upon returning from the White House Thursday evening. "It was clarifying I think for both sides as to where we are and the takeaway from the meeting was, our teams are going to be talking further tonight, we'll have more discussion, we'll come back to have more discussion. The president said that he would go and consult with the administration folks and hopefully we can see a way forward after that."
( PHOTOS: Debt ceiling fight: 20 great quotes)
A senior House GOP aide said Obama "did not say yes or no to House Republicans' offer." Both sides are continuing talks tonight, according to the aide.
The White House said Obama had a "good meeting" with House Republican leaders that lasted about 90 minutes.
"After a discussion about potential paths forward, no specific determination was made," according to a White House readout. "The President looks forward to making continued progress with members on both sides of the aisle."
For much of Thursday, it appeared that Washington slowly edged away from a potential default on Thursday as congressional leaders crafted plans to raise the debt ceiling ahead of the Oct. 17 deadline. Wall Street liked the apparent legislative movement: The Dow Industrial Average soared 323 points Thursday.
( POLITICO's full government shutdown coverage)
Obama met separately with Senate Democrats and House Republicans at the White House. Senate Republicans will meet with Obama on Friday morning.
The talk in the House GOP visit centered around Speaker John Boehner's proposed measure to lift the debt ceiling through Nov. 22, while banning Treasury from employing so-called extraordinary measures to keep paying the nation's bills. The legislation had no corresponding spending cuts, as other debt ceiling bills had.
The legislation would also set up a negotiation over the borrowing cap and government funding. At this time, there are no spending cuts attached to the legislation. There is also no vote scheduled.
If Obama buys into the GOP plan, senior Republican sources say that Boehner could have enough internal political capital to move a bill next week to reopen government until Nov. 22.
Across the Capitol, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is taking the temperature of his own GOP colleagues on ways to reopen the government — which has been shuttered for 10 days — and raise the debt ceiling.
Among the options under consideration is a proposal building on the work of Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) that would raise the limit for two months and reopen the government for six months in return for a repeal of Obamacare's medical device tax, a requirement to means test those seeking Obamacare subsidies and provide more flexibility for agencies to maneuver around the sequester.
Though ideas to move on from the budget mess are growing, there's no consensus yet. A White House official sounded cool to the House GOP plan and offered support for a Senate Democratic proposal to raise the debt ceiling through the end of 2014, reiterating that the government should reopen and the debt ceiling be raised ahead of any talks.

(Reuters) - Louisiana Superintendent of Education John White has a problem with schools.
They're too confining, he says. They trap kids in chairs, in classrooms, in the narrow bounds of an established curriculum. So White and a handful of fellow revolutionaries have begun pushing a new vision for American public education.
Call it the a la carte school.
The model, now in practice or under consideration in states including Louisiana, Michigan, Arizona and Utah, allows students to build a custom curriculum by selecting from hundreds of classes offered by public institutions and private vendors.
A teenager in Louisiana, for instance, might study algebra online with a private tutor, business in a local entrepreneur's living room, literature at a community college and test prep with the national firm Princeton Review - with taxpayers picking up the tab for it all.
The concept alarms many traditional educators. They fear public schools will lose funding to private vendors and will end up with such crimped budgets that they won't be able to provide a full range of academic classes, much less extras like sports, clubs and arts. That, in turn, could accelerate the exodus of students and the cutbacks in funding.
Teachers, superintendents and school board members also warn that an a la carte system could leave behind children from poor or unstable homes who may not have computers to take online classes, transportation to reach far-flung vendors, or adult guidance to help them sort through a dizzying menu of options. The system also has the potential to leave students unsupervised for large chunks of the day, which could raise safety and discipline concerns.
"We're really concerned about equity," said Don Wotruba, deputy director of the Michigan Association of School Boards. "There will be haves and have-nots."
Backers of the concept acknowledge there will be challenges but say the one-size-fits-all "factory model" of public school is woefully outdated.
Students in many states have a vast array of school choices, including charter and online options, but once they pick a school, they're typically limited to classes offered within its walls (or on its website). The more flexible models being tested and debated require students to pick a "home base" school where they can play sports and consult with guidance counselors, yet allow them to reach outside for some or all of their academic classes and electives.
"Whether you want to be a welder or a nuclear physicist, it's highly likely that there are places beyond your local high school that are better able to prepare you for that," White said. "Within the four walls of the school, there is only so much you can do."
White argues, too, that a la carte can save taxpayers money. Louisiana plans to cut funding for each public school by about $1,300 for each class a student takes from an outside vendor. But many of the vendors charge far less; their average fees, to be paid by the state, are just $800. The savings are to be divided between the local school district and the state treasury.
Despite White's promise of taxpayer savings, Louisiana's program, dubbed Course Choice, hit a roadblock last week when a state judge ruled that private vendors could not be paid with money set aside for public schools. White plans to appeal. In the meantime, he's pressing ahead with plans for students to begin ordering off the menu in the spring.
The state Board of Education on Wednesday approved 45 vendors offering hundreds of classes. A few target young students, such as a music class for 5- and 6-year-olds. Most, however, are aimed at the high school crowd.
The Baton Rouge Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors, a nonunion industry group, plans to train teens in carpentry, pipefitting and heavy equipment operation, with the state picking up fees of $550 per course. "Our thrust is promoting our industry and giving students an opportunity for careers," said Robert Clouatre, the chapter's director of education.
A local construction workers' union plans to offer classes of its own, in scaffold building, work zone safety and the like.
Louisiana Public Broadcasting has designed a $1,280 online class in environmental science, drawing on its library of TV documentaries. A New Orleans teacher who runs a small faith-based school will offer a $900 entrepreneurship course; she is in the midst of revising the curriculum so it does not rely on Scripture to teach financial precepts.
Students across Louisiana can participate as long as they remain enrolled in a traditional public school and take at least one class from that school.
There is no income cutoff, meaning the state could end up paying for wealthy students to take ACT and SAT prep classes taught by private companies such as Princeton Review and Sylvan Learning. White said that prospect didn't trouble him. "It's a wise use of state funds to parents to choose the path that's right for their kids," he said.
Other states are testing different paths toward the same goal of customizable schools.
Students in Utah can enroll in classes taught by any of 15 state-approved online vendors, including private, for-profit companies. If they don't like the way geometry is taught in their high school, for instance, the state will pay for them to take the class from an online vendor and deduct that sum from the high school's appropriation. Students could pick a different vendor for an online Spanish class and a third for U.S. history.
In Michigan, a task force tapped by the governor to reinvent public education has come up with a sweeping plan that would let kids pick and choose offerings from any school that will accept them - so they could take art at their neighborhood school, literature online, biology from one charter school and Spanish from another, with the state parceling out funding to each provider.
Ultimately, public schools might come to specialize, with one focused on science and the next on world languages, said Richard McLellan, the attorney who heads the task force.
Critics often say "the governor is trying to destroy public education as we know it," McLellan said. "That's accurate."
A spokesman for Governor Rick Snyder said he aims to enhance, not destroy, public education, by allowing state funding to flow to any number of quality educators instead of sending the bulk of it to traditional schools. Snyder has not said whether he supports the McLellan plan but has repeatedly called for reinventing the school so students can learn "any time, any place, any way, at any pace."
One key question about a la carte models is accountability: how to ensure students learn what they need to know when their schooling is so scattered.
The Michigan proposal largely leaves quality control up to course providers; the state wouldn't review curricula or require all students to take the same standardized tests.
Louisiana took a tougher stance, screening all the vendors who applied to teach courses and rejecting more than half. The state will also require some vendors to test their students regularly and will withhold payments if scores don't improve.
Another hurdle: It takes sophisticated software to manage such a fragmented education system. Colorado's Douglas County School District, which serves wealthy suburbs outside Denver, recently sought to test an a la carte program but found it first needed a multi-million-dollar systems upgrade, said Meghann Silverthorn, a school board member.
Perhaps the biggest question, however, is the most basic: Will parents buy into a radically new model of public education?
"It's disruptive change," said Idaho schools chief Tom Luna, who has embraced aspects of the a la carte model. "Not so disruptive for kids, but very disruptive for adults."
Arizona state Senator Rich Crandall understands the hesitation.
He is a big proponent of school choice; earlier this year he introduced a bill that would let students select up to two courses from online providers. Yet Crandall says he is reluctant to allow kids to customize their entire education.
"High school is not going to a catalog and picking a list of seven classes - that's not a high school experience," Crandall said.
He thinks, he said, of his teenage daughter. If she were to parcel her schooling among dozens of vendors, who would be responsible for making sure she stayed on track to earn her diploma - or took classes that truly challenged her?
And then there would be this conundrum, he added, laughing: "What football team does she cheer for?"

Utility Savings Estimators
Download the Utility Savings Estimators: Commercial Estimator | Residential Estimator
(These *.zip files contain the Microsoft® Excel® macro-enabled (*.xlsm) estimator files. You will need to download and extract the files before use.)
These estimators were developed by the Building Energy Codes Program (BECP) to
- help utilities estimate potential energy savings from increased compliance with energy codes using well-understood definitions of compliance, and
- provide easily understood results that can be compared across several utilities or several segments within utility coverage areas, or aggregated to the national level.
View the BECP Utility Estimator Tool Demonstration Webinar video that demonstrates the estimators and answers common questions.
The utility savings estimators are based on the same methodology used by BECP to assess national benefits of energy codes. Although the residential and commercial estimators are separate tools, they follow the same methodology. View the BECP Utility Estimator Tool Webinar video describing the tools and the methodology used.
How They Work
There are 10 steps required to run the estimators, and instructions are provided to explain every step. However, for ease of use, the tools contain several defaults which can be overwritten by the users if desired. Defaults are included for code-to-code savings, commercial and residential floor space forecasts, projected code adoption, energy conversion factors, and emissions multipliers. Utilities can overwrite the defaults with their own utility-specific details/assumptions.
User-provided data is required for only two items:
- Compliance – This input drives the analysis. The user must specify the alternative scenario by entering the level of compliance compared to the base case.
- Floor Space – The state-level floor space forecast is provided by default. The user must enter an adjustment factor to scale the state-level forecast up or down as applicable.
This figure depicts the steps and flow of the tools.
Estimator Results
The savings estimators provide the following results, which can be saved as CSV files:
- Energy savings (Site, Source, Upstream and Full Fuel Cycle) as a result of increased compliance – By fuel type, by year, and cumulative over the analyzed time frame
- Energy cost savings – By year and NPV over the analyzed time frame
- Emissions savings (SO2, NOx, Hg, N2O, CH4, CO2) – By year and cumulative over the analyzed time frame

Blackhawks' chances depend on these five playersby Dan Rosen / Chicago Blackhawks
CHICAGO -- The Chicago Blackhawks and Boston Bruins are each two wins shy of having another summer with Stanley.
For the Blackhawks to start setting up their party dates, they have to play with the speed they had Wednesday in their series-tying, 6-5 overtime win in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final. But the Blackhawks also need to tighten up in the defensive zone and get better play from goaltender Corey Crawford.
Chicago is comfortable in an up-and-down game, but the Blackhawks would prefer to avoid another first-to-six-goals type of night.
If Chicago is going to find that happy medium, here are the five players who have to step up to win the Cup, starting with Game 5 Saturday at United Center (8 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, RDS):
He has been catching grief because he couldn't catch the puck in Game 4. His glove side, which has yielded 10 of Boston's 12 goals in the series, has turned into a big enough sideshow that during practice Friday reporters were watching to see if Crawford's teammates would test it.
"I tried today and he stopped me glove side, so hopefully he's got it all figured out," left wing Patrick Sharp said.
Crawford even joked about all the noise he's hearing.
"Last series they were talking about my blocker," he said. "Both sides are bad, I guess."
The humorous self-bashing aside, obviously the Blackhawks wouldn't be two wins away from winning the Stanley Cup without Crawford's impressive play through the playoffs. However, it is going to be fascinating to watch where the Bruins try to beat Crawford in Game 5, and if all the talk about his glove has any effect on how he plays.
"As a goalie you never want to be thinking out there, you just want to read and react," Crawford said. "They made some good shots. I've just got to get over it and be prepared."
The defenseman has had a strong postseason, but had some head-scratching moments early in Game 4.
For example, he tripped Chris Kelly as the Bruins were transitioning from offense to defense 12:45 into the first period. Keith typically doesn't get beat down the ice, but he did this time, tried to hold up Kelly and got called for it. Boston's Rich Peverley scored a power-play goal two seconds before Keith was scheduled to be released from the penalty box.
Later in the first period, with the Blackhawks on the power play, Keith turned over the puck to Peverley at the offensive blue line and again lost a race down the ice. Peverley got to the puck behind the Blackhawks net, and Keith brought him down for another tripping minor.
Though this may be nitpicking, and as a result unfair criticism of someone who plays the most minutes on the team, it's notable because of how important Keith is to the Blackhawks. He needs to be the most reliable player on the ice because much of what they want to do starts with what Keith can do on the back end.
His mobility and decision-making with the puck kick-starts the Blackhawks' speed game and gets them into attack mode, which in turn allows them to break down the layers in the Bruins' structured defense. If Keith is in the penalty box, turning over the puck, losing races -- or all three -- the Blackhawks can't play the way want to.
"Generally I like to give and go. I don't like to hang on to it too long," Keith said. "I'm a big believer in moving the puck as quick as you can, let the puck do the work and let them react to how quick we can move the puck. Obviously we can skate fast, but the quicker you can move the puck and let the puck do the work, that's what it's about."
Confidence in his ability to score is no longer a concern for Toews. That's how big one goal is for a player who is used to scoring a lot.
"It makes a world of difference for you when you finally see one go in," Toews said after breaking a 10-game goal-scoring drought in Game 4.
Now Toews has to score more, or at least create chances that lead to second and third opportunities for linemates Patrick Kane and Bryan Bickell.
The Blackhawks were OK without Toews scoring, but if they're going to win two of the next three games he has to be involved the way he was in Game 4, when he got inside the Bruins defense and led the charge to the front of the net. Chicago simply could not break down Boston enough to get to the net in Game 3 or over the last 50-plus minutes of Game 2, but Toews found a way in Game 4 and started a trend.
Toews can't sacrifice in other areas, be it on faceoffs or in the defensive end, for the sake of trying to score again.
"I know he hasn't scored a lot, but the guy he's playing out against game in, game out, Johnny has been basically at least even with him or ahead of the game," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "We measure scoring chances at the end of the every game, and over the course of the season, regular season and playoffs, Johnny always finds a way to be on the right side of that."
He was the Game 1 hero, the talk of the NHL, but Shaw has been quiet since scoring the triple-OT winner off his leg to give Chicago a 1-0 lead in the series. He's had no points and five shots on goal over the past three games and played a personal series-low 12:40 in Game 4.
Shaw is centering a third line that has not been productive. He knows he, Brandon Saad and Viktor Stalberg can have a bigger impact on the score sheet because of their speed, but he admitted his focus is more on defending than scoring.
"I need to finish all my checks on the forecheck and always play a strong defensive game, shut down the line I'm playing against at that point in the game," Shaw said. "Our offense has been great and it'd be nice to chip in there, but we're really focusing on not getting scored on."
The Blackhawks aren't a team that wants to try to get by without something from all four lines. The way for Shaw to lead his line is to always be attacking the way Chicago's top two lines do.
"We've got to push just as hard as they do, if anything we've got to push harder," Shaw said. "We're a line with speed so we have to get it wide, drive their D and force them to turn, then you can make plays and get the pucks to the net, create offense that way."
Bickell's job description is simple, but his challenge is quite intimidating: He has to battle with Zdeno Chara to free up space for linemates Toews and Kane.
That is Bickell's role now, and if he plays it well he knows the Blackhawks will have more chances to score. He did a good job with it in Game 4 and ended up with an assist on the goals by Kane and Toews. Chara was on the ice for five goals against.
"Not a lot of guys challenge him to hit him, so they just kind of fade off or start backchecking," Bickell said. "You just hit him. Hits can happen. I don't think anybody likes getting hit. We just need to finish our checks against him."
Bickell can't back off now because even if the Blackhawks can win the speed game against the Bruins and get the puck into the offensive zone, they're not going to do much with it if they don't get to the front of the net to make things tough on goaltender Tuukka Rask.

Tough Sh*t is the dirty business that Kevin has been digesting for 41 years and now, he's ready to put it in your hands. Smear this shit all over yourself, because this is your blueprint (or brownprint) for success. Kev takes you through some big moments in his life to help you live your days in as Gretzky a fashion as you can: going where the puck is gonna be. Read all about how a zero like Smith managed to make ten movies with no discernible talent, and how when he had everything he thought he'd ever want, he decided to blow up his own career. Along the way, Kev shares stories about folks who inspired him (like George Carlin), folks who befuddled him (like Bruce Willis), and folks who let him jerk off onto their legs (like his beloved wife, Jen).
So make this your daily reader. Hell, read it on the toilet if you want. Just make sure you grab the bowl and push, because you're about to take one Tough Sh*t.

CENTENNIAL, Colo., Oct. 26 (UPI) -- A Colorado judge has rejected prosecutors' request to remove the names of victims of the "Dark Knight" shooting spree from court files.
Arapahoe County District Judge William Sylvester rejected the request Thursday, The Denver Post reported.
Prosecutors argued that those shot and wounded during a July 20 midnight showing of the movie at a theater in Aurora might be harassed or intimidated if their names were available to the public but Sylvester said removing the names now would have little practical effect.
James Holmes, a former University of Colorado graduate student, has been charged with killing 12 people and wounding 58.
Sylvester said he would have some information restored to the files. The Post and other news organizations, in addition to opposing the prosecutor's request on the names, argued the court had gone too far in removing information that might be prejudicial to Holmes.
"Despite the unusual and relentless media attention in this case, the investigation and proceedings in this case should, whenever possible, conform to the rules and usual practices of any other criminal case in Colorado," Sylvester wrote in his opinion.

Cell-based therapy for retinal degeneration and optic nerve neuropathy
The primary goal of our lab is to understand and develop treatments for degenerative retinal diseases. Ray Lund, PhD, a pioneer in the field, started using cell-based therapy for retinal degeneration over two decade ago; our current program expands our research to study optic nerve neuropathy and Alzheimer's disease as well. We have been using stem cell therapy to slow down the progression of retinal degeneration and limit the development of the secondary vascular pathology. Our preclinical studies have led to three clinical trials using stem cells to treat macular degeneration.

World Bulletin / News Desk
Syrian rebels battled army units on Thursday for control of districts of Damascus on the second day of a rebel offensive which aims to shake President Bashar al-Assad's hold on the capital, a rebel captain and an opposition activist said.
Elite Republican Guard units based on the imposing Qasioun Mountain in the middle of the city fired artillery rounds and rocket launchers at the eastern neighbourhood of Jobar and at the southern ring road, where rebels have overrun roadblocks and army positions, the sources said.
They put the overnight death toll at 30 people, mostly from heavy army bombardment on the rebellious neighbourhoods of Jobar, Zamalka and Hajar al-Aswad.
Jobar and Zamalka are situated near security compounds housing forces from Assad's Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam that has dominated power in Syria since the 1960s.
Hajar al-Aswad is close to the southern entrance of the capital and the main highway to the city of Deraa and the Jordanian border.
"Jobar is the most contested district and the regime is bombarding it heavily," said Captain Islam Alloush of the Liwa al-Islam rebel unit. He said the army was massing forces to take back a major junction on the ring road.
Syrian authorities have banned most independent media from the country, making it difficult to verify events on the ground.
Alloush said the aim of the rebel offensive was not to take central Damascus. That would not be attempted while Assad's forces controlled major bases to the rear of the rebel forces, in Muleiha district and in the town of Adra, he said.
"The objective is to take out the sniper positions and fortifications that form part of the regime's defence line on Damascus, not to advance too quickly without having the proper support," he said.
The opposition activist in Damascus said the offensive was being led by Sunni officers who had defected from the army, and aimed to cut Assad's command and control lines from the centre of the city to its outskirts.
The rebels are using anti-aircraft guns, mortar rounds and armoured vehicles captured from Assad's forces over the past few months, according to opposition sources.Last Mod: 07 Şubat 2013, 13:29

Limp Bizkit's Next Single Will Feature Lil Wayne
If you were shock by the news that Cash Money Records signed rap-rock group Limp Bizkit, you might be surprise at what is coming next. Lil Wayne will duet with the Bizkit on their new single, which is set to drop next week.
Cash Money CEO Birdman explained to XXL that it was actually Fred Durst who contacted him about a partnership. "It was weird how it happened," he recalls. "He was like, 'Stunna, what's good?'" I was like, 'What's poppin', 5?' [Fred said] 'I wanna join the team.' Whoa! For real? He didn't have to say it twice. I was already a fan of him. When the opportunity came, we really was supposed to announce it at the Grammys. Wayne was going to announce it at the Grammys, but he did it when he felt like it."
"He's a visionary, he a great artist," Birdman continues. "Also, I want him to be a part of our staff and take over the rock department and bring us over more talent because that's what he does. I think with having Limp he brings a lot. He's a movie director, he's a one-stop shop. So whatever direction he wants to go in his music, he knows it. It's hot."
Durst concurs with Birdman and feels that bringing Limp Bizkit to YMCMB was a good move for his group. "As both an artist and someone who has signed artists, I can say without a doubt that Cash Money is at the top of their game," he said in a statement. "What attracted me to the label is not only their great taste and hustle, but their belief in their artists and the family atmosphere. I look forward to bringing my vision as a director as well as my voice to the label and to Limp Bizkit putting out some of our best music to date."
Okay, then. We are anxiously waiting to hear what Limp Bizkit is going to bring on their new song with Weezy. Let's just hope they didn't do all for the nookie.

Heaven to Hell is the epic story of good versus evil; of paradise lost and pleasure found. Dean Monroe stars at The Devil, who, along with help from his Instigator and minions of Soldiers and Dog Boys, tempts The Angel, played by Brad Patton. It's the first-ever movie in Falcon history featuring a cast comprised completely of Falcon Exclusives. Heaven to Hell also features Brad Patton's first-ever on-screen experience as a bottom.An arrow pierces Brad Patton's shimmering vision of purity. Brought to the Underworld by Soldier Josh Weston, the devil sits in judgment, his Dogboys at his feet: Tristan Adonis, Colby Taylor and Roman Heart. When Dean announces 'Prepare him!' the White Angel's transformation begins. The legendary big-dicked top finally bottoms for the first time for both Josh and Joe Sport. 'Fuck the good right out of him!' Josh scowls...Meanwhile the Devil takes on his Dogboys - deep-throating them all, then submitting to a brutal ass-pounding from each. Deep in the catacombs of the Underworld, the two of the Devil's most powerful soldiers, Erik Rhodes and Matthew Rush, face each other for the first time. These two muscled studs go at each other with explosive force.All of this is only a prelude to the unbelievable spectacle of the last scene, which features the full cast in a record-breaking one-hour long orgy that is so hot it is featured separately on its own DVD disc. Starring Falcon Lifetime Exclusive Matthew Rush, and Falcon Exclusives Tristan Adonis, Roman Heart, Dean Monroe, Kane O'Farrell, Brad Patton, Erik Rhodes, Joe Sport, Colby Taylor and Josh Weston.'Heaven to Hell'... is just about the hottest thing I've ever seen...

Comic for June 16, 2019

I have been so irregular on the blog, that I have even lost the right to use the word "sporadic". I dont see that changing soon.
However, I have been writing in Kannada, about films, for the online magazine "Panju". If you can read Kannada and are interested in films, you can read my articles here.
I am pretty active on Facebook (addicted to unhealthy levels, according to some) so feel free to get connected with me there.
So long, blog!

DETROIT - Europe's economic woes are weighing on General Motors Co.'s profits.
The company's third-quarter net income fell 15 per cent from a year earlier, dragged down by losses in Europe and South America and weak earnings in all areas except North America and China.
The company's shares fell 7.4 per cent to $23.20 in premarket trading Wednesday as GM said it would not be able to meet its target of breaking even in Europe this year.
GM said that its net income fell to $1.7 billion in the quarter, or $1.03 per share, compared with $2 billion, or $1.20 per share, a year earlier. Still, it was the GM's seventh-straight quarterly profit, and the lower numbers still beat Wall Street's expectations.
Analysts polled by FactSet predicted earnings of 94 cents per share.
Revenue rose 7.6 per cent to $36.7 billion. Analysts had expected $35.9 billion.
GM posted a pretax loss of $292 million in Europe as the economy struggled. Its profit rose slightly in North America to $2.2 billion, but earnings at its international operations, including China, fell 29 per cent to $365 million. South American operations also swung to a loss of $44 million for the quarter.
Chief Financial Officer Dan Ammann said the company had a solid quarter but needs to improve its margin of profit in all regions.
In Europe, Ammann said the company has made significant progress and is more than $1 billion ahead of last year's pretax earnings. But it still needs to take out costs across the board and put out the right products that people will buy, Ammann said.
"There's no one silver bullet," he said.
GM said it would not break even in Europe this year because of deteriorating economic conditions there.
Ammann said the company has an aging car and truck portfolio in South America and is in the process of refreshing it. It also offered buyouts to employees that resulted in a 4 per cent cut in the work force there, he said.
To boost profits, GM is coming out with nine new vehicles in the next year in South America, including the Chevrolet Cruze compact and a subcompact named the Cobalt, the company said.
Ammann said the GM plans actions companywide to improve profit margins. Its profit margin, or pretax profit as a percentage of revenue, is around 6 per cent, a full percentage point lower than its closest global competitors, Volkswagen AG and Ford Motor Co.
While the company plans to cut costs further, it mainly will boost profit margins by increasing revenue, he said.
"You can't cost-cut your way to prosperity in the business. You've got to grow the business, get the right vehicles on the road," he said.
GM sold 2.2 million vehicles in the quarter, up 9 per cent from a year earlier.

Uses for phenytoin
Phenytoin is used to control seizures (convulsions) in the treatment of epilepsy. It is also used to prevent and treat seizures that occur during brain surgery. Phenytoin is an anticonvulsant that works in the brain tissue to stop seizures.
Phenytoin is available only with your doctor's prescription.
Before using phenytoin
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For phenytoin, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to phenytoin or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of phenytoin in children.
No information is available on the relationship of age to the effects of phenytoin in geriatric patients. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related liver, kidney, or heart problems, which may require an adjustment in the dose for patients taking phenytoin.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Interactions with medicines
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary.

The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.

Interactions with food/tobacco/alcohol
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using phenytoin with any of the following may cause an increased risk of certain side effects but may be unavoidable in some cases. If used together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use phenytoin, or give you special instructions about the use of food, alcohol, or tobacco.
- Enteral Nutrition
- Ethanol
Other medical problems
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of phenytoin. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
- Bone problems (eg, osteomalacia, osteoporosis) or
- Depression or mental illness, history of or
- Diabetes or

- Porphyria (an enzyme problem) or
- Vitamin D deficiency—Use with caution. May make these conditions worse.

Proper use of phenytoin
Take phenytoin only as directed by your doctor. Do not take more of it, do not take it more often, and do not take it for a longer time than your doctor ordered.
Phenytoin should come with a Medication Guide. Read and follow these instructions carefully. Ask your doctor if you have any questions.
Phenytoin may be used with other seizure medicines. Keep using all of your seizure medicines unless your doctor tells you to stop.
Do not change brands or dosage forms of phenytoin without first checking with your doctor. Different products may not work the same way. If you refill your medicine and it looks different, check with your pharmacist.
Swallow the tablet whole or chew it thoroughly before being swallowed together with a glass of water.
Measure the oral suspension with a marked measuring spoon, oral syringe, or medicine cup. Rinse the dosing spoon or cup with water after each use.
If you are receiving tube feeding preparations, it is best to take phenytoin before or after a feeding.
The dose of phenytoin will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of phenytoin. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.

Missed dose
If you miss a dose of phenytoin, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.
Precautions while using phenytoin
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits while you or your child are using phenytoin to see if it is working properly and to allow for a change in the dose. Blood tests may be needed to check for any unwanted effects.
Using phenytoin while you are pregnant can harm your unborn baby. Use an effective form of birth control to keep from getting pregnant. If you think you have become pregnant while using the medicine, tell your doctor right away.
Do not use phenytoin if you or your child are also using delavirdine (Rescriptor®). Using these medicines together may cause unwanted effects.
Lymph node problems may occur while using phenytoin. Check with your doctor right away if you or your child have swollen, painful, or tender lymph glands in your neck, armpit, or groin.
Do not stop taking phenytoin without first checking with your doctor. Your doctor may want you or your child to gradually reduce the amount you are using before stopping completely.
If you or your child develop a skin rash, hives, or any allergic reaction to phenytoin, check with your doctor as soon as possible.
Tell your doctor right away if you or your child develop a fever, rash, swollen, painful, or tender lymph glands in the neck, armpit, or groin, unusual bleeding or bruising, or yellow eyes or skin after taking phenytoin. These may be symptoms of a serious and life-threatening condition called Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS).
Phenytoin may cause liver damage. Check with your doctor right away if you have pain or tenderness in the upper stomach, pale stools, dark urine, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, or yellow eyes or skin.
Phenytoin can temporarily lower the number of white blood cells in your blood, increasing the chance of getting an infection. It can also lower the number of platelets, which are necessary for proper blood clotting. If this occurs, there are certain precautions you can take, especially when your blood count is low, to reduce the risk of infection or bleeding:
- If you can, avoid people with infections. Check with your doctor immediately if you think you are getting an infection or if you get a fever or chills, cough or hoarseness, lower back or side pain, or painful or difficult urination.
- Check with your doctor immediately if you notice any unusual bleeding or bruising, black, tarry stools, blood in the urine or stools, or pinpoint red spots on your skin.
- Be careful when using a regular toothbrush, dental floss, or toothpick. Your medical doctor, dentist, or nurse may recommend other ways to clean your teeth and gums. Check with your medical doctor before having any dental work done.
- Do not touch your eyes or the inside of your nose unless you have just washed your hands and have not touched anything else in the meantime.
- Be careful not to cut yourself when you are using sharp objects such as a safety razor or fingernail or toenail cutters.
- Avoid contact sports or other situations where bruising or injury could occur.
Phenytoin may decrease bone mineral density. A low bone mineral density can cause weak bones or osteoporosis. If you or your child have any questions about this ask your doctor.
Phenytoin may affect blood sugar levels. If you or your child notice a change in the results of your blood or urine sugar tests or if you have any questions, check with your doctor.
Phenytoin may cause some people to be agitated, irritable, or display other abnormal behaviors. It may also cause some people to have suicidal thoughts and tendencies or to become more depressed. If you, your child, or your caregiver notice any of these side effects, tell your or your child's doctor right away.
In some patients (usually younger patients), tenderness, swelling, or bleeding of the gums (gingival hyperplasia) may appear soon after phenytoin treatment is started. To help prevent this, brush and floss your teeth carefully and regularly and massage your gums. Also, see your dentist every 6 months to have your teeth cleaned. If you have any questions about how to take care of your teeth and gums, or if you notice any tenderness, swelling, or bleeding of your gums, check with your doctor or dentist.
Before you have any medical tests, tell the medical doctor in charge that you or your child are taking phenytoin. The results of some tests may be affected by phenytoin.
Phenytoin may cause drowsiness, trouble thinking, or trouble in controlling movements. Make sure you know how you react to phenytoin before you drive, use machines, or do other jobs that require you to be alert, well-coordinated, or able to think or see well.
Avoid drinking alcohol while you are taking phenytoin.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.
