HydroLuver wrote:As for solar, I have tried to read about the industry for my investments. I have tried to understand where the costs are heading and whether the industry has a long term future. The current solar panels are made of silicon which requires high tech companies like AMAT to be involved. It is similar to making semiconductor chips. Very energy intensive. The theoretical max efficiency of silicon solar is 30% of eneregy conversion. The real practical limit is about 25%.
There is a breakthrough I read about that raises the theoretical limit to 70% energy efficiency and practical application are in the 45% to 50% range. But that is a few years away.
The 2nd generation is considered to be the new thin film solar panels made by First Solar (FSLR), Energy Conversion Devices (ENER), etc. These are much cheaper and flexible. They use 1% of the silicon compared to others.
But the efficiency is lower. 8% to 10% of energy converted. But the dramatically lower cost makes the lower energy conversion ratio worth it.
...These are being built into things like roof shingles. These companies are selling out of their inventory years in advance
The next generation is companies like NanoSolar. It is not yet public, but the founders of Google are major backers of one. Their technology is taking the efficiency of thin solar to the next level. I forget the details though.
So in summary, I do believe that the EROEI is improve dramatically for solar. The capital costs are dropping for building these newer solar panels. If there are lower capital costs, odds are that this translates into less energy consumed to produce the solar panels.

You end up with a distorted number. You need to look at what the EROEI would be after the technology is fully developed. Hence, the title of the thread.
The Carnot cycle is a special type of thermodynamic cycle. It is special because it is the most efficient cycle possible for converting a given amount of thermal energy into work or, conversely, for using a given amount of work for refrigeration purposes.
davep wrote:And rankine engines are hardly at the cutting edge of technology. They may be theoretically less efficient, but they're proven.
attached to a rankine or carnot cycle engine appears a better bet in the long term.
jbeckton wrote:The process can use a rankine cycle (or other cycle), but not at carnot efficiency.
davep wrote:The engine that can best approach the theoretical carnot limit is the stirling engine, that uses a "regenerator" between the hot and cold heat exchangers, in order to reuse some of the heat/cold before getting back to the heat exchanger.
jbeckton wrote:A rankine cycle can also use a regenerator. A coal power plant bleeds off steam from the turbines to heat the water up before it gets to the boiler. We also use cogeneration, where we take steam from the boiler and use it to power turbine driven boiler feed pumps.
The idealised or "text book" Stirling cycle is a thermodynamic cycle with two isochores (constant volume)and two isotherms (constant temperature). It is the most efficient thermodynamic cycle capable of practical implementation in an engine - its theoretical efficiency equaling that of the hypothetical Carnot cycle. However technical issues limit its efficiency when applied - for instance a simpler mechanism may be favored over attaining a close fit to the theoretical cycle.

Energy Return On Energy Invested is a measure of the net energy produced by a primary energy source. Every power system (other than the sun and plants) must be designed, prototyped, tested, implemented, managed, maintained, sold, installed, operated, produced, and hyped forever. This takes what? ENERGY. unlike plants which just make pollen and reproduce.
give it up. there is no free lunch. the party is over. goodnight.
Actually Jbecton I am referring to specifically to energy (and to a lesser degree agriculture systems.) Neither nano nor biotech will play any role in avoiding or mitigating PO.

They used to say the same thing about micro a few years back, I guess your portfolio missed out on that ride?
No. this is not 'EI.' What you describe is the one-time petroleum subsidy we may perhaps use to transition to a steady-state solar economy. It has nothing to do with industrial life-cycle energy analysis that leads to EROEI measures.BobWallace wrote:There is energy invested in the creation of the "first set" of PV panels. The "first set" is the number of panels required to power future panel creation. Enough panel power to scoop up the sand, extract the silicon and aluminum, ....
We use some of our existing oil/hydro/coal/whatever to make those panels. That's our energy investment. Or "EI".
We are in the process of eating up what is left of our free lunch---the petrified salad called petroleum.BobWallace wrote:Once we've made enough panels to power the extraction, fabrication, transportation, installation, and maintenance of future panels we have moved into free-lunch-land. From that point on all our energy out, or "EO" requires no further investment.
This statements tells me you do not know what energy return is about. Eroei is a constant measure minimally affected by increases in process efficiency and decreases in energy availability. It will always take xxx units of electricity to build a windmill that will gather yyy units of wind. If there is a positive eroei then we can eventually manufacture more and more windmills but the propagation remains the same, though the rate of increase could be described as exponential.BobWallace wrote:So we start with a significant(?) investment of energy to get the process started. Once we've reached production/installation stage the EROEI starts to rise and continues to rise to infinity.
Unlike oil or coal, where the EROEI is descending towards zero.
pstarr wrote:As for nano, the definition needs to be ironed out before you can call any application a success unless you believe solid-state circuits and buckyball graphite lubricants will be fashioned into petroleum.

Single Malt Storage
Hello, this is my first time posting on these forums so I hope that I am placing this thread in the correct place. I have two questions for single malt scotch experts.
First, with a little back story. My apartment went under extreme renovations this summer and I because of that I asked my brother to house my single malt collection at his house for approximately 2 months (September and October). During the transportation from my place to his (approximately 30 minutes) he stored the bottles sideways. Now, He told me that he stored them up right in his basement for the 2 month duration, but I am curious what possible, if any, issues could arise if they were stored sideways? I only ask this because 3 of the bottles were Port Ellens, 2 were Balvenie and Glenfiddich single casks / vintage reserves, one a Laphroaig 15 signed by the distillery's malt master, and a Talisker 30. The other bottles were nothing of special note. All bottles were sealed and in their boxes. When renovations were done I inspected each bottle checking for any floating objects, none were found. Any insight would be greatly appreciated as this aspect of single malts is new to me. Second, in regards to the Glenfiddich 1977 Vintage Cask. While inspecting it, I noticed some light brown sediment (best description I can give) in a small area at the bottom of the bottle. I was going to lightly tilt the bottle upside down and right side down a few times but decided against it until I got some learned advice. I truly hope that this is nothing peculiar as I have done some research saying older bottles of Scotch Whisky can have a small amount of sediment. Thank you very much for your consideration and time reading my post. |

A Free Man: Summary and book reviews of A Free Man by Aman Sethi
A Free Man is a heartbreaking and troubling portrait of poverty and loss, and also an unvarnished record of one journalist's complicated relationship with his subject. At the end of the book, day laborer, Mohammed Ashraf, remains a sketch rather than a full portrait. He doesn't feel whole but instead feels like a composite of the many migrant laborers who drift in and out of Delhi. But because of Sethi, these solitary and forsaken men will never be forgotten.

McConnell's Revenge! GOP Forces All-Night Session After 'Nuke Option'
Senate Republicans are retaliating against Democrats for changing the filibuster rules via the so-called nuclear option by forcing major delays on nominations.

The Justice Department just announced that Ryan Loskarn, the chief of staff for Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), was arrested this afternoon on child pornography charges. More here.
We've learned this afternoon that the child porn investigation tied to Sen. Lamar Alexander's (R-TN) chief of staff is being run by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, which so far isn't saying much because the case is still under seal.
We've also put together some background about the chief of staff, Ryan Loskarn, who has been placed on leave by Alexander's office.
Ed Kilgore on what's really going on with the Republican 'Civil War'.
Sen. Alexander (R-TN) just announced that his Chief of Staff's personal residence is currently being searched as part of a child pornography investigation.
For John Boehner the Speakership has been one never-ending dignity loss as he's been lead around by various high-dollar "Tea Party" groups who run the House in spite of him. Apparently the soul-crushing got too much for him this morning: ""You mean the groups that came out and opposed it before they ever saw it? They're using our members and they're using the American people for their own goals. This is ridiculous." Watch.
It's flying under the radar a bit, but one of the early silver linings to Obamacare is that Medicaid enrollment is going up -- not just because Obamacare expanded Medicaid eligibility but because the increased buzz around the new law has prompted previously eligible people who had never signed up for Medicaid to go ahead and enroll.
That success puts the failure of Republican-controlled states to expand Medicaid in even starker relief. The best example might be South Carolina, which is seeing a dramatic jump in Medicaid enrollment even without having expanded Medicaid.
So a big focus for advocates and the Obama White House going forward is how to get those remaining states on board. It might not be as hopeless a cause as you would guess. Here are the five states most likely to reverse course and expand Medicaid in the near future.
Greenwald attacks Time magazine for picking the Pope, rather than Edward Snowden, as Person of the Year.
"For the reasons which the New Yorker's John Cassidy, the New York Times' Margaret Sullivan, and the Washington Post's Andrea Peterson all stated, Snowden is clearly, by far, the person who has most influenced this year's news events. If it were a serious magazine with minimally brave editors, then of course Snowden would have been chosen, but I never expected him to be precisely because that's not what TIME is."
Some great pics from aboard Air Force One en route to Nelson Mandela's memorial service, including George W. Bush showing Hillary Clinton photos of his post-presidency paintings (above).
The latest Obamacare enrollment figures are out. Things were better in November than October, but they were still bad.
But that doesn't tell us much that is new.
The key will be December enrollment figures, which will benefit from HealthCare.gov finally being more or less fixed and the projected surge in enrollments ahead of the Dec. 23 deadline to sign up for coverage that begins Jan. 1.
Very interesting discussion here at The Hive of what TPM Readers think of the group 'Third Way' (sub req). I think I'll jump in myself. But just speaking for myself, it's not so much that I disagree with most of the group's positions (though I do) as I see them as sort of irrelevant to most current policy discussions.

What is Lincomycin?
Lincomycin is an antibiotic that fights serious infections caused by bacteria.
Lincomycin is used to treat severe bacterial infections in people who cannot receive penicillin antibiotics.
Lincomycin may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
In This Section:
What is the most important information I should know about Lincomycin?
Before receiving lincomycin, tell your doctor if you have asthma or allergies, a stomach or intestinal disorder such as colitis, liver or kidney disease, or epilepsy or other seizure disorder.
Antibiotic medicines can cause diarrhea, which may be a sign of a new infection. If you have diarrhea that is watery or has blood in it, call your doctor. Do not use any medicine to stop the diarrhea unless your doctor has told you to.
Serious side effects of lincomycin include fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms, white patches or sores inside your mouth or on your lips, severe blistering or peeling skin rash, feeling like you might pass out, easy bruising or bleeding, unusual weakness, or urinating less than usual or not at all.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Lincomycin?
You should not receive this medication if you are allergic to lincomycin or clindamycin (Cleocin).
Before receiving lincomycin, tell your doctor if you have:
- asthma or allergies
- a stomach or intestinal disorder, such as colitis
- liver or kidney disease; or
- epilepsy or other seizure disorder
If you have any of these conditions, you may not be able to receive lincomycin, or you may need a dose adjustment or special tests during treatment.
FDA pregnancy category C. This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment.
Lincomycin can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not receive this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
What conditions might Lincomycin treat?
No information available | |
Lincomycin Side Effects
What are the possible side effects of Lincomycin?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Tell your caregivers right away if you have any of these serious side effects:
- diarrhea that is watery or bloody
- urinating less than usual or not at all
- fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms
- severe blistering, peeling, and red skin rash
- feeling like you might pass out
- easy bruising or bleeding, unusual weakness; or
- white patches or sores inside your mouth or on your lips
Less serious side effects include:
- nausea, vomiting
- swollen or painful tongue
- vaginal itching or discharge
- mild itching or skin rash
- ringing in your ears; or
- dizziness, spinning feeling
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Tell your doctor about any unusual or bothersome side effect. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Back to TopLincomycin Interactions
What other drugs affect Lincomycin?
Before receiving lincomycin, tell your doctor if you are also using erythromycin (E-Mycin, E.E.S., Ery-Tab, Erythrocin, and others).
There may be other drugs that can interact with lincomycin. Tell your doctor about all your prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
Back to TopWhat should I avoid while taking Lincomycin?
Antibiotic medicines can cause diarrhea, which may be a sign of a new infection. If you have diarrhea that is watery or has blood in it, call your doctor. Do not use any medicine to stop the diarrhea unless your doctor has told you to.
Back to TopLincomycin Dosage
In This Section:
How should I take Lincomycin?
Lincomycin is given as an injection into a muscle, or through a needle placed into a vein. Your doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider will give you this injection. You may be given instructions on how to inject your medicine at home. Do not use this medicine at home if you do not fully understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of needles and other items used in giving the medicine.
Lincomycin is usually given every 12 to 24 hours. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Use each disposable needle only one time. Throw away used needles in a puncture-proof container (ask your pharmacist where you can get one and how to dispose of it). Keep this container out of the reach of children and pets.
Use this medication for the entire length of time prescribed by your doctor. Your symptoms may get better before the infection is completely treated. Lincomycin will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or flu.
To be sure this medication is not causing harmful effects, your blood may need to be tested on a regular basis. Your kidney or liver function may also need to be tested.
If you store this medication at home, keep at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
Back to TopWhat happens if I overdose on Lincomycin?
Tell your caregivers right away if you think you have received too much of this medicine. Overdose symptoms may include chest pain, feeling light-headed, or fainting.
Back to TopWhat happens if I miss a dose of Lincomycin?
Since lincomycin is usually given by a healthcare professional, it is not likely that you will miss a dose. If you are using lincomycin at home, call your doctor for instructions if you miss a dose.

The organization was formed about a year ago, when a group of concerned citizens decided the people of Humboldt needed a voice in the community for food security.
The group has members from Family Services — Partners Building Hope, the Seniors' Centre, Humboldt and District Community Services, Humboldt Regional Newcomer's Centre, Westminster United Church, the Saskatoon Health Region, City of Humboldt and other concerned community members, said Niamh Menz, one of the founding members.
All the members have one common goal in mind, explained Menz, to bring food security to the city.
"Our group believes in a community-based approach to food security," said Menz. "Through our projects we are trying to rebuild skills that have been lost due to a lot of changes in our society.
"The biggest thing I have noticed is how much all the organizations in town have to offer and how they all have such a strong-vested interest in the people in our community."
Marguerite Cunningham, another group member, explained it is not just about cooking or gardening.
"It is teaching them not only the preparation of food but also the purchasing and buying and budgeting — all of that is important," said Cunningham.
Menz explained when people hear about their group, they often think it is for less fortunate people. She explained that food security is an issue for everyone.
"Food security is a state of affairs where all people at all times have access to safe and nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life," said Menz.
Having access to food does not just mean affordability, although that is an issue, said Menz. It also has to do with four principles — availability of food, economic and physical access to food, food utilization and the stability of maintaining the first three factors.
"I still think people think in our community that there aren't people struggling with food issues but actually we all are with the change of the grocery stores to one area in town, which causes transportation issues for people, for example, our seniors in town," said Menz. "Also, sometimes you have to go to three grocery stores to find what you are looking for."
These are issues that face everyone in the community, they explained.
Through round table discussions, the group identifies gaps in the community.
"We have recognized a lot of not only economic concerns but many deep social and cultural needs that affect food security in Humboldt," said Menz. "Not only are there existing needs, but there are future needs that we are starting to identify in the city as well... Needs we might not have today, we might have next year."
To help with some of these issues, Food Connection for All has started organizations like the Community Garden and Collective Kitchen, as well as supporting others like the soup kitchen and food bank.
The Community Garden was started as a way to help people learn to garden and have access to fresh produce.
"It is amazing that our city has a community garden," said Menz. "I talked to some people from Victoria and they were blown away by the progress Humboldt is making."
The Collective Kitchen was started to help people learn how to create healthy meals, said Cunningham. With changes in society, many people have not developed their skills in the kitchen.
Since the start of the organization, both Menz and Cunningham have seen many changes.
"When you see it written on paper you are surprised at all you have accomplished," said Menz.
Both explained the different programs the organization offers have become a social outlet for people as well.
"It is a very large part of socialization," said Cunningham. "Like the Soup Kitchen. When they come there, yes they come for the food, but they have also become friends. They will sit and talk. They have made connections and friendships and met other people that can help them as well."
The organization is always trying to come up with ways to help with food security.
"Trying to think of creative ways we can support people primarily is our purpose," said Menz.
They have some goals and dreams for the future.
They will be working on a food gap report to identify what areas in the community need help and will also be creating a list of organic food vendors in the area.
"We also have big dreams of having a big community centre in Humboldt with a big kitchen where we have all these groups together with a symbiotic relationship where everyone works together," said Menz.

Five New Senses to Access Personal Power
Many scientists believe that we have 9 senses. Our external senses provide information about the outside world and what we hear, see, smell, taste, and touch. And, our internal senses: balance, pain, hunger, and thirst are providing information about our body and what we need.
My friend Jennifer Crews has had some unique life experiences that have helped her discover - 5 more senses that manifest inward and outward.

Plot: You wake up and find yourself in an unfamiliar place. Everything is simpler...more...square. Then you realize that you don't remember who you are. In fact, you can't remember anything about your past...your appearance, your family, ALL GONE. However, you have a slight memory of a previous world you lived in, but it's very faint. Later you realize that other people are in this world too, and they are in the same situation. All of them have lost their memories. This was a chance for everyone to start from scratch and create a new civilization. But ultimately, everyone has the thought at the back of their minds that they need to find out who they are and where they came from.
So I'm looking to start with about 4 or 5 people. I don't want a really big group at first, but I definitely will want to add on if the RP gets that far. Please join by submitting a character application.
This whole thing will take place in the minecraft world. As we go along, we may add mods. You don't need to have a lot of minecraft knowledge to join. The characters are supposed to be clueless about this world anyway. So I guess you can say there's a little twist to the story. In this, you can still remember facts and terminology, but you can't remember past experiences. Every now and then, your character can have slight memories.
Character Application:
That's all you need in the character application. Nobody knows their backstory yet so don't worry about it. If you want, you can start with not even remembering your name

It was estimated that almost 1 million people in the UK last year, had orthodontic treatment. With increasing numbers of adults wanting treatment, orthodontics is in high demand.
Orthodontics is a sub speciality of dentistry, and is concerned with irregularities of the teeth, which affect jaw relationships. Orthodontics, for the most part is used to improve and correct the bite of patients, resulting in patients having greater comfort when eating, and making it easier to care for their teeth and gums. Orthodontics can also be used for cosmetic purposes, to improve the appearance of a patient's teeth and face.
Appliances (braces) are used in correcting teeth alignment. Private Healthcare UK has created a guide to some of the most common appliances used in orthodontics today.
Read the guide to orthodontic appliances....
By filling in one enquiry form, you can submit your enquiry for information on orthodontic treatment to our participating orthodontic surgery providers.
Complete the enquiry form....
You can search for an orthodontic specialist using our online orthodontics directory. We also have a "Find a dentist" search covering dental treatment across the UK.

Overview of the Field
Community health, a field of public health, seeks to promote healthy behaviors and improve social conditions for specific populations.
According to the Office of Occupational Statistics and Employment Projections at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the expected job growth for health professionals who "promote, maintain, and improve individual and community health by assisting individuals and communities to adopt healthy behaviors" is expected to be "faster than average" for the foreseeable future. Indeed, employment of community-based health educators is expected to grow by 37 percent from 2010 to 2020, much faster than the average for all occupations. Growth will be driven by efforts to reduce healthcare costs by teaching people about healthy habits and behaviors. Furthermore, employment of social and community service managers who coordinate and supervise programs and community organizations, is expected to grow by 27 percent from 2010 to 2020, faster than the average for all occupations. Growth is expected because increases in the aging population, increases in demand for substance abuse treatment, and overall population growth. Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2012-13 Edition, Health Educators, on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/ooh/community-and-social-service/health-educators.htm (visited February 07, 2013).
Community health professionals work in a variety of settings, including all levels of government, not-for-profit, voluntary and social service agencies, medical care organizations, workplaces, schools and advocacy organizations.
Sample job titles of community health professionals include:
- HIV Prevention Program Director
- Tobacco Research Coordinator
- Community Health Specialist
- Community Health Educator
- High-Risk Youth Program Manager
- Director of Immigrant Health Services
- Director of Public Affairs
- Reproductive Health Coordinator

October is National Long-Term Care Residents' Rights Month, a time to acknowledge the contributions and sacrifices many long-term care residents have made to better our community and to call attention to the rights of residents in long-term care facilities. This year's theme – Speak Out Against Elder Abuse, was selected to call attention to the fact that elder abuse is an issue that shouldn't be taken lightly. It is predicted that by 2025, the global population of those aged 60 years and older will more than double, from 542 million in 1995 to about 1.2 billion. The abuse of long-term care residents is an issue that people may not like to acknowledge or report. But physical, emotional and economic abuses are unfortunately becoming more common. According to a World Health Organization brief, a survey in the United States uncovered that 36 percent of nursing-home staff reported having witnessed at least one incident of physical abuse of an elderly patient in the previous year, 10 percent admitted having committed at least one act of physical abuse themselves, and 40 percent said that they had psychologically abused patients. It is important to give elders and individuals with disabilities a sense that this social injustice is not simply being ignored.
John Bartlit's Sunday editorial about reviving the Civil Conservation Corps was right on! I had already written to President Barack Obama about hiring workers on the railroads, suggesting it be called the Civil Conservation of Railways. Super fast trains for the East get all the attention, but we need to repair the rail lines in New Mexico, Kansas and Colorado this year, or the Southwest Chief will be re-routed south, eliminating passenger service to several towns in Kansas, and Colorado, including Raton, Las Vegas, and Lamy in New Mexico. We don't want to drive all the way to Albuquerque to get the train to California, or Chicago and Santa Fe will lose the Lamy access. Inez Ross Los Alamos
ound as the IQ sinks" is an amazing example of chutzpah. In a column meant for readers in Los Alamos, certainly a mathematically aware county, he tells us that today's kids' aptitudes are being degraded by not doing enough long division exercises. He harkens back to a better time when students learned how better how to do "real" calculations. Maybe some students need to do more rote exercises and can skip Euclid's proof that the square root of two is irrational. (I change my mind. That proof is just too beautiful.) But we need to teach the students with the highest aptitude for science, technology, engineering and math too. Concepts-based math is just right for these students. Sure, we all need to learn some actual methods, but in my view the old school way, teaching students to do endless long divisions like 1/7=0.142857142857… is not the whole story. I wished I had learned earlier the art of estimation — how to calculate on your feet an answer that is good enough, and knowing how good is good enough. These are quick methods used in science and engineering but also for doubling recipes, calculating tips, estimating your gas mileage — and knowing that 29.787 MPG is not a better answer than 30 MPG.
Garbage is mixed in with trash, recycled cardboard, and papers (chicken bones, pizza boxes, paper plates not rinsed, food containers and wrappers, etc.). The smell of garbage attracts the bears into our communities and they become a nuisance and a dangerous threat to the lives of our families. The bear is blamed for doing what comes naturally. The bear is trapped, relocated and sometimes euthanized. Everyone can help alleviate these concerns by developing a few simple habits. For instance: 1. Rinse all food smells off of everything you put into your trash and recycle bins. 2. Collect garbage in a bag in the freezer until the morning of trash day. 3. If you have to put your trash out the night before, soak some paper towels in ammonia and place them on top in the bin with the garbage. 4. Keep your trash bins in the garage at least until the snow falls. Fruit trees are a problem, but if the fruit can be picked or disposed of when ripe that can help discourage intruders. At least fruit is a natural diet for bears in the wild. None of us want our address on the list of five-star restaurants for bears, or any of the wild animals that live in our canyons and forests. Please help save the lives of the local wildlife and make our communities safer by cleaning up your trash —literally. Joy Green
While I generally enjoy John Pawlak's satire, and did so for most of his column on gay marriage, he has done a disservice to our County Clerk Sharon Stover. Pawlak complains that Stover did not take the law into her own hands, but responded to a court with her understanding of the law. I strongly disagree that Sharon's argument was weak — she sought to abide by the law, as we expect of a responsible county clerk. Unless the media reports have been completely inaccurate, the details of the form are specified by law, not regulation, however strange and unusual that may seem. Note that it only required (as always) brave people to assert their rights to bring the matter to court attention. And wonderfully, in America, the law is trumped by the Constitution. That the law is in conflict with the state Constitution (as amended regarding Equal Rights) was determined in the proper province of the judiciary — for now at least, we'll eventually hear what the state Supreme Court has to say. It is unfortunate that governments have used the religious term, "marriage", to describe state approved formation of families, coupling, or whatever it should be called when two people who love each other seek that approval.
Here are five things your family can do to make sure bear cubs, cougar kittens, little raccoons and skunks are not separated from their families. 1. Don't feed the wild animals. Throw out your hummingbird feeder. Don't feed the deer. Feed the birds only in winter. Keep pet food bowls inside. 2. Leash your dogs and keep your pet cats inside. 3. Secure your garbage as best you can. Ask members of county council to consider bear-aware dumpsters, which you see frequently in Colorado. Keep smelly stuff like melon rinds out of your compost pile. 4. If your fruit trees have fruit, pick it in a timely manner so it doesn't tempt critters. 5. Be kind and considerate. Remember your behavior has consequences for your whole neighborhood. At sunrise this morning two of my children were out delivering the Los Alamos Monitor in some of North Mesa's perimeter neighborhoods. Even though they carry pepper spray and have been taught since they were toddlers what to do when confronted with big predators I still worry this time of the year. Finally, remember, a fed bear is a dead bear. Lynn Hanrahan Los Alamos
As executive director for University of New Mexico-Los Alamos, I want to extend my sincere thanks for the community support we've received during our recent special election. It is very rewarding to hear personal stories from our students and alumni about their many positive experiences at UNM-LA. Our contributions to the quality of life in Los Alamos are amplified in the testimonials from those who have had rewarding and, for some, life-altering experiences as a result of their participation in our programs at UNM-LA. We are proud and gratified to share the many unique and significant accomplishments of our students, faculty and staff with the community. Higher education in UNM-Los Alamos promises to be the vehicle for personal and professional success and mobility. Because of local, state and other investments in higher education at UNM-LA many opportunities for the high quality education and training for current and future students were created and sustained. These investments have enabled UNM-LA to offer affordable, accessible and high quality teaching and learning essential to the development of our students and to our community that greatly values education.
I moved here from the east coast a little over a year ago, and there the mail came nearly at the same time everyday. Here the mail is delivered anytime between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Also, I seem to have the laziest delivery driver ever, because the last 12 packages sent to me were all listed as "Out For Delivery," and yet they are never delivered that day. In fact, on two occasions I've stayed home just to receive a package only to watch the mailman drive down my dead end street and turn around without ever getting out of his mail van. Come on USPS, how about you hire some competent employees? Justin Tokash Los Alamos
The picture of the baby bear standing on top of the trap holding his mom was heartbreaking. If there was time to take a picture, why wasn't there time to catch him, too, and relocate him with his mother? Or was she destroyed, as rumor has it? Pam Reynolds Los Alamos
I went to the county building today to drop off my ballot, voting against the latest tax levy. It seems like every year we are asked to support yet another levy, for worthy causes such as school building upgrades, UNM-LA and the like. My husband and I work very hard for our money and are not upper-echelon labbies that bring home the big bucks … these tax hikes have a real impact on our budget. In the past five years, my taxes have increased $616. The latest levy would increase that another $168. We do not have unlimited funds, and even if we did, I do not trust the county to use my tax dollars wisely. Take a gander at the "Taj Majal" projects we've had thrust upon us in recent years: The White Rock Visitor's Center, the Justice Center, the new Municipal Building, the Golf Course Clubhouse, Los Alamos High School and Los Alamos Middle School are all good examples. It seems that every project must be grander than the one before, and the sky is apparently the limit.

My husband works at a gas station and people are always bringing in old/odd/or not the norm coins. He brought home an OLD OLD looking coin and I don't know how to find anything out on it. It seems like it has roman/greek lettering on it. the coin is very uneven in thickness(like not done machines). One side is the bust of a chunky guy (facing the right) with curly hair and looks like a leaf cluster kind of thing around his head. on the reverse side is what looks like it was a maybe a lady sitting/posing on a pedestal holding a staff or stick, with the greek/roman characters all in the back ground. I have taken a couple pics if you would like to see them too.

Great portfolio
By A22
from US
I got this on sale for [$], which is a steal for a leather portfolio. I haven't used it long enough to give it a true review, but so far, it is holding up well. It has a lot of great storage space. The inner zippered portion holds a lot of stuff comfortably. The cell phone holder was too big for my cell phone - it is probably designed to hold a larger phone such as an iPhone. The construction looks very well done, and it looks to be of high quality up close. I took this on a job interview and thought it looked perfectly professional.
The replacement I was looking for
By Goldwinger
from Cinti, Oh.
About Me Value Oriented
This is a replacement for my existing non-leather porfolio which I have been using for (5) years. I was in search of a replacement as the current unit is well worn and unattractive. Nothing like real leather for durability. The current unit is a name brand but made out of pleather and not made for many years of heavy use. This portfolio will measure up to the task better.

The description says it is a 2" binder, but it is only 1 1/2". I know it is only a half inch difference, but when I purchase something online,I depend on the descriptions to be accurate. This is why I gave it 3 stars, don't know if I will be able to use it for the purpose it was bought.

Imagine being able to lose weight from all your trouble spots: Belly, hips, thighs and arms, all without feeling hungry.
Sound too good to be true?
Some doctors say it is, but a growing portion of medical professionals disagree and are offering the diet at their practice.
Tammy Settles was 180 pounds heavier just one year ago when she turned to is the HCG Diet.
HCG is a pregnancy hormone that, among other things, burns the mom's belly fat to feed the baby if the mother isn't getting enough nutrients.
Now women who aren't pregnant, and men as well, are using that hormone, giving themselves daily injections while only eating 500 calories a day.
"Making them put on a 500 calorie diet, to make it look like they're starving, so that the body thinks it has to feed the baby," explains Dr. Peter Fontinos.
Dr. Fontinos is the medical director of Revita Medical Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
He's treated hundreds of patients, who believe it or not, say they are not hungry while on the HCG diet.
"In actuality you're not eating just 500 calories, you're eating 500 calories plus your own body fat which is equivalent to 1500, 4000 calories," he says.
Other doctors say there's no clinical evidence the diet works.
"It's very clear from more than a dozen studies that the hormone does nothing, but it's really 500 calorie a day diet that causes dramatic short term weight loss," says Dr. Louis Aronne, Director of the Comprehensive Weight Control Program at NY-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell.
This use of the hormone is not FDA approved.
Representatives for the agency say, "HCG has not been demonstrated to be an effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity."
Still, supporters say patients provide all the proof.
"The success rate is 99.9% here at the clinic, the success rate with other fad diets is nominal," says Revita Aging CEO Don Nicholas.
The diet costs roughly $1,000 per session.
Patients following the diet are on the injections and restricted diet for at least 26 days, but no more than 40.
There are risks involved including an increased risk for blood clots, depression, and a life-threatening condition called ovarian hyperstimulation.
A woman whose son died of cystic fibrosis in 2009 successfully sued on Thursday to get his younger brother, now 11, on the adult waiting list for a lung transplant.
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius reiterated Tuesday that she won't intervene in the "incredibly agonizing" case involving a 10-year-old Pennsylvania girl who is waiting for a lung transplant, telling members of Congress that medical experts should make those decisions.
One of the first provisions of the 2010 health reform law has had its intended effect: shifting costs from hospitals, taxpayers and families to health insurance companies, researchers reported on Thursday. It's one of the most popular aspects of the law.
Probiotics — those products that promise to replenish your gut's 'healthy' microbes — do seem to help prevent dangerous diarrhea, researchers reported on Thursday.
People may realize that fast food isn't health food, but they don't realize just how fattening it really is, researchers report. They surveyed people eating at 10 burger, chicken, sandwich and doughnut chains and found they greatly underestimated just how much they were chowing down.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie revealed that he's had gastric-band weight-loss surgery, which experts say has the least amount of short-term risk but also yields the least amount of weight loss.
A new line of caffeinated chewing gum is causing jitters among health advocates and prompting federal officials to take a new look at the proliferation of jolt-infused foods, including those marketed to children and teens.
Forget the old high school clichés about athletes not doing as well academically as less sporty kids -- a new study shows that children who exercise more do better in math, reading tests.
The procrastinators, the super-busy, and the easily bored in pursuit of a manageable fitness routine may find what they seek in the 10-minute workout.
Exercise not only improves mood, it may help people maintain reduced anxiety in the face of stressful or emotional events, a new study says.
