Comments about 'Utah wind power poised to increase'

"Utah does not have a renewable energy standard, but a "goal" to get
to 20 percent by 2025."
About 30 other states of renewable energy
standards (RES), including may red states -- Iowa, Texas, Kansas, etc.
I hear Utah legislators say "let the free market" drive
renewable energy if it is truly cost-effective; "markets over mandates"
they say. But the problem is that electricity is NOT a free market. Consumers
have no way to buy cleaner, price stable electricity. Thus, we are stuck with
big utility monopolies that own coal-generation infrastructure that
"force" us to buy it rather than transition to clean, carbon-free, and
price stable resources for their consumers.
Here's where the
risk is for Utahns. Carbon taxes and "adders" (extra costs for carbon
pollution and restrictions) are looming large for Utah ratepayers. The more
carbon-based resources in our electricity mix, the higher the cost risk for
Utahns. Sadly, our utility monopolies will be able to simply pass those costs
to us because we lack choice. Texas and Iowa will be better protected because
so much of their electricity is carbon-free and price stable.
should follow other conservative red states and adopt RES.

Utah's willingness to develop more wind power without a statewide
renewables policy highlights its competitiveness, and it is exciting to see the
state taking its energy future into its own hands.
Wind provided
over 4 percent of the country's electricity in 2013. With smart policies
in place, that number can reach 20 percent by 2030.
The Production
Tax Credit for wind power is a valuable incentive that helps wind energy to
compete with traditional, well-established energy sources. We should urge
Congress to expedite its renewal. Wind power, with the help of the PTC, has
dropped in cost 43 percent in just four years. Clean, reliable, and affordable,
wind power is a smart piece of our energy future.
And wind power
provides thousands of Americans with well-paying jobs. However, the on-again,
off-again nature of the PTC must be resolved before businesses are able to plan
for the long term. Each time the PTC is allowed to expire, jobs are threatened.
We should extend this valuable incentive so that wind power can
continue to work for people across the entire country, driving our economy and
preserving the environment.

sodesu May 26, 2011 1:02 PM I agree with all of you but fear that Stuart may be right. As far as Bernie's considered it's probably just a matter of two things: how well they can sweep this under the carpet and how much cash they'll offer. I definitely don't think it's ruled out but I sure hope it won't happen - also for the sake of FOM's PR people... they'll have to come up something special to justify this. :S Reply Report abuse 3 agree 0 disagree

Many current parallel computers are built around a torus interconnection network. Machines from Cray, HP, and IBM, among others, make use of this topology. In terms of topological advantages, square (2D) or cubic (3D) tori would be the topologies of choice. However, for different practical reasons, 2D and 3D tori with different number of nodes per dimension have been used. These mixed-radix topologies are not edge symmetric, which translates into poor performance due to an unbalanced use of network resources. In this work, we analyze twisted 2D and 3D mixed-radix tori that remove the network bottlenecks present in nontwisted ones. Such topologies recover edge symmetry, and consequently, balance the utilization of their links. The distance-related properties of twisted tori together with a full characterization of their bisection bandwidth are described in this paper. A simulation-based performance evaluation has been carried out to assess the network performance under synthetic and trace-driven workloads. The obtained results show noticeable and consistent performance gains (up to an increase of 74 percent in accepted load). In addition, we propose scalable and practicable packet routing mechanisms and wiring layouts for these interconnection systems. The complexity of the architectural proposals is similar to the one exhibited by routing and folding mechanisms in standard tori.
Multiprocessor interconnection, parallel architectures, routing, supercomputers.

Mercy Johnson
Star actress Mercy Johnson resumes work this month. She is back on location with director and producer, Elvis Chucks. This is MJ's first job after giving birth in December.
'I want to say thank you to the fans, friends, colleagues and producers who were there for me. Many of them proved to be friends on and off work. Many adjusted their schedules for me and sent in their greetings during the child dedication. I resumed work this week with grateful heart and understanding that I am here because God through the help of people made it possible. Or how could I explain the overwhelming votes I got at AMVCA despite been away and inactivity on social media? How could I explain the numbers of producers and scripts waiting for my return? How could I explain the overwhelming love and gifts while I was away? I am very grateful and here to say a big thank you to everyone who played a role and those who as much as had good wishes in their hearts. Thank you and God bless you'
During her 'absence', she gave birth to her first child, Purity, moved into a new mansion with her husband, Prince and won the Best Actress in comedy at the maiden edition of Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA).
All the while, she has remained a subject of interest as many producers and a couple of corporate organization continued to discuss movies and other businesses with her. She's returning on the heels of the record set by the film by one of her films, Dumebi, which is one the highest selling.
She earned her first film credit in The Maid in 2003.

Captured between the base and slidable parts is a spring. The expanding spring causes the toy vehicle to be propelled away from the launcher. At the same time, the rapid movement of the rack energizes the flywheel motor so that after the spring discharges the toy vehicle and a flywheel of the flywheel motor engages a supporting surface, the toy vehicle is moving in response to both the spring and the flywheel motor, two different power sources. The single action of pulling the rack appears to the user to cause compression and release of the spring, and the flywheel motor to be energized, essentially simultaneously. | 05-05-2011 |
20090124167 | MANUAL AIR PUMP POWERED CAR RACING GAME - A pneumatic manual air pump powered car racing game presents a housing which serves as a powering station from which a race car is propelled down a race track. A pump handle is manipulated to pressurize an air chamber with substantial pressure, which is released to discharge the race car from its starting position at the housing end of the race track to the distal end of the race track. A race car's starting position refers to the releasably yet hermetically sealed male to female junction between the housing and race car. A signal is comprised at the distal end of the race track to indicate a conclusive race by a triggering device, including a mechanical or electronic device for alerting a player that the race car has reached the end of the track. A race is arranged by two or more users with multiple devices by setting up a parallel series of race tracks. | 05-14-2009 |

The individual wheels of the rear truck can be controlled separately responsive to radio signals from a remote transmitter for rotation in either direction, while the front wheels rotate freely. Also responsive to radio control signals, the rear truck is controllably pivoted with respect to the deck about a kingpin axis that is inclined rearwardly, while the front truck pivots freely about a forwardly inclined kingpin axis. When the rear truck is thus pivoted, the deck tilts about its longitudinal centerline, causing the front truck to pivot correspondingly, steering the skateboard. A pair of modeled shoes are mounted for free pivoting about pivot axes. As the board tilts toward one side or the other, the shoes pivot from a toes-in to a toes-out position, mimicing the foot movements of a live "skater". The forward shoe is mounted on a trolley sliding freely on an inclined ramp. When the board rests on a horizontal surface, the trolley slides forward, so that the forward shoe moves toward the forward end of the board; if the front end of the board is tilted upwardly, as in a "wheelie" manuever, the forward shoe slides rearwardly, as would that of a skater doing such a trick. | 06-11-2009 |

20100184353 | Start gate for gravity-driven cars - An improved start gate for gravity-driven cars which is itself a gravity-driven compound pendulum. The pendulum includes a horizontal drop member rigidly connected at one end to a start post support rod which in turn supports a plurality of start posts. A trigger lever, when moved either directly or remotely, allows the drop member to fall as in a compound pendulum thereby rotating the start posts and allowing the cars to start. The embodiment teaches that the subsequent initial start post acceleration is approximately twice the car acceleration. The equations of motion are solved showing that the start posts are guaranteed not to interfere with car motion. A major advantage over prior art spring-loaded start gates is that the gate "slap" from stopping overly-forceful spring motion and the associated track jarring and car jostling is eliminated, thereby contributing substantially to a more smooth and fair start. | 07-22-2010 |

Hillary Clinton, quintessential Alpha Female, is whining about the boys who share the presidential debate stage with her.
She says that they're picking on her! They're ganging up on her.
And she doesn't like it.
Her aides say it's just because she's a woman.
But Hillary's the one who's playing gender politics. Not them. When the going gets tough, Hillary always pulls out the female victim card.
The fact is that the reason that Hillary is under attack is because she is a doubletalking panderer who can't give a single straight answer. It's not because she's a woman, and it's not because she's a winner.
And now she's furious.
How dare they!
These small annoying men that she's tolerated for the past eight months – as if they were actually candidates of her high caliber – are all taunting her!
Let's take a close look at who these men really are:
They're men who:
• have never organized a seating chart for a State Dinner,
• never redecorated the White House,
• never visited eighty-two countries on Air Force One as the President's wife,
• never lit the White House Christmas Tree, or organized a carnival on the Front Lawn, and
• certainly never presided over the biggest debacle in domestic policy since Roosevelt's Court Packing Plan in 1936
In fact, these petty little men have never even had the power to single-handedly cause the President of the United States to lose control of both houses of Congress, like she has.
It's just not fair!
Don't they remember who she is?
She's the same Hillary Clinton who started her campaign by insisting that you have to "deck" your opponents if they criticize you.
And the Hillary who loves to set up "War Rooms" to investigate the personal lives of anyone who gets in her way – especially those annoying women who were the objects of Bill's desire and affection.
Yes, that's the Hillary who blamed the "vast right wing conspiracy" for Bill's affair with Monica Lewinsky. (Of course it wasn't Bill's fault) And the Hillary who sent her stooges out to humiliate, embarrass, and discredit Monica in the press.
The same Hillary, the unabashed feminist, who encouraged the Clinton court jester, James Carville, to publicly label Paula Jones as "trailer park trash."
That's the Hillary who tried – unsuccessfully - to use her position as a U.S. Senator to settle some old scores with Michael Chertoff, Secretary of Homeland Security, who was formerly Counsel to the Senate Whitewater Committee. She was the only Senator to vote against his confirmations as Assistant Atttorney General and Judge on the D.C. Court of Appeals. She claimed that he was rough in intervierwing some young aides, a claim she never made at the time. She did the same thing with Ted Olsen, even trying to organize a filibuster until her own party members warned her to back off. They found it unprofessional to try to settle personal scores by using one's Senate credentials. In Hillary's book, its just called 'getting even' She's good at that.
And yet they pick on her.
Well, she's just not going to waste any more time on this unfair situation. She's looking ahead: Yesterday, she called for women to get out their mops, brooms, brushes and vacuum cleaners – she says that she's going to need them to clean up the White House!
When the going gets rough, Hillary Clinton, archetypical feminist, surprisingly retreats into homemaker happytalk – referring to a domestic life that she's never experienced. (When do you think she last used a broom?) But the truth is that she would'nt know a mop from a laptop.
But now, the embattled little woman says she is "comfortable in the kitchen." Anyone who's ever seen her there knows that's not true.
She has about as much experience in the kitchen as she does in the Oval Office.
Consider the contrast between Hillary's approach to gender and that of Margaret Thatcher. While nobody could doubt Thatcher's essential feminimity, she never used it as a defense, never enlisted women in a class defense against the male establishment. She gloried in fighting the men who ran Argentina or those who ran the European Union with never so much as a reference to gender.
Or compare her to Condoleezza Rice who never takes refuge in her status as a member of the fair sex when the going gets rough.
Hillary's retreat to shelter in the feminist orb when the male world spurns her raises serious questions about whether she is really tough enough to be president.
When the men who run the Middle East or those who occupy the Kremlin or run China gang up on her, she won't be able to hide behind the skirts of her husband or her domestic supporters. And her mops and brooms won't be much help.

The Space
This enchanting XVII century private 'Hotel' mansion, called Hotel d'Alfonce, is celebrated for its exceptional architectural beauty conceived in a tranquil position between courtyard and garden. Hotel Alfonse is classed as a National Historical Monument and is considered one of most elegant private residences in Pezenas. It was here that Moliere played 'Le Medecin Volant".
Guest Access
With a capacity for four guests, the apartment consists of : - A large sitting room with fireplace and alcove containing a double bed (140cm). - A large dining room with fully equipped kitchen (oven, dishwasher, fridge with freezer, induction plate, hood, blender, Nespresso coffee machine, kettle etc…) - A large bedroom with king size bed or alternatively, two singles - A modern bathroom with bath and toilet - All overlooking a stunning, sunny loggia giving onto the property's peaceful private gardens
The Neighborhood
In times past Pézenas was the capital of Languedoc States and still boasts a rich heritage as a city of the arts. It is the perfect location as a base to explore our most beautiful region, including the exotic inland Salagou Lake, Saint Guilhem le Desert, the Millau Viaduct, the Larzac, Lodeve and the most beautiful Tibetan Temple outside of Tibet, the Larzac with its history of the Templars , the sandy beaches of Sete and Cap d'Agde on the Mediterranean.
Getting around
Pézenas is served by two motorways : A75 and A9. Montpellier is 40 min away. Carcasonne, one hour. The Spanish frontier, one and one-half hours
Other Things to Note
Reminder : For security reasons due to the loggia, the apartment is not suitable for a family with children under eight years of age.
Please note: A car park is included in a private closed parking 8 minutes by foot from the mansion
This is a non-smoking residence
We're sorry but pets are not allowed
The loggia is filled plants and flowers and this requires our gardener's presence for watering. The time table will be defined by mutual agreement between our visitors and us.
We had an extraordinary stay at Corrine's hôtel particulier. It is such a special place, it really must be seen to be believed and i only wish our stay was longer. the apartment is beautifully renovated and had everything the three of us needed, with all the cookware in perfect condition. Corrine was even considerate enough to leave us a bottle of wine, fruit and a few lovely provisions in the fridge. We were originally planning to go out to dinner but changed plans and cooked at the house just to spend as much time as possible there. the long winding terrace overlooking the courtyard was so tranquil and beautiful, it was really hard to leave. A truly magical place.
je suis modéliste-styliste de formation et après avoir réalisé des vêtements féminins , puis des costumes de théâtre, je me suis passionnée pour la rénovation de l'hôtel particulier familial dans lequel j'ai grandi.

why would Dawson do this? that weight drop will not be good for him at all, look at his build. he is fairly lengthy and for him to go to 168 I am almost positive Ward will be a much stronger guy.
correct me if im wrong but i think ward walks around at 185-190, 175 would be no problem for him to work up to and if he wanted to show some balls he would have came up and challenged chad to win the light heavy title, seems like mostly all the fighters are taking the easiest and safest roads. |

Dawson called him out and said he will fight ward at 168. Thats Dawson fault for having to go down in weight. He shouldn't challenge ward at 168 if he can't make the weight healthy. Ward just accepted a challenge at his weight against one of the best boxer in the sport.

Dawson has had a ton of fights at SMW and even MW. You have to be fair both ways and remember that Dawson called him out, Ward is the bigger name, and Ward has other guys to fight. He dont have to come to LHW for Dawson.
I dont get why Ward should do Dawson a favor. Why the hell should Ward come to Dawson? Makes no sense at all. Dawson has to come to 168 or dont come at all. Again, its not like Ward is screaming for the fight or that Ward has to move up right now or that Dawson is the name. NO. Again, I would like Ward to go up some but if he doesnt want to then he doesnt have to. Id rather them fight at 168 than Ward saying that he wont fight him at all which he easily couldve said and no one wouldve ripped him for |

Dawson said he can make 168, but he looks like a big LHW to me. Losing 7 pounds will most likely affect his performance, and he only has himself to blame. |

John Adams: A Life (Google eBook)John Ferling has nearly forty years of experience as a historian of early America. The author of acclaimed histories such as A Leap into the Dark and Almost a Miracle, he has appeared on many TV and film documentaries on this pivotal period of our history. In John Adams: A Life, Ferling offers a compelling portrait of one of the giants of the Revolutionary era. Drawing on extensive research, Ferling depicts a reluctant revolutionary, a leader who was deeply troubled by the warfare that he helped to make, and a fiercely independent statesman. The book brings to life an exciting time, an age in which Adams played an important political and intellectual role. Indeed, few were more instrumental in making American independence a reality. He performed yeoman's service in the Continental Congress during the revolution and was a key figure in negotiating the treaty that brought peace following the long War of Independence. He held the highest office in the land and as president he courageously chose to pursue a course that he thought best for the nation, though it was fraught with personal political dangers. Adams emerges here a man full of contradictions. He could be petty and jealous, but also meditative, insightful, and provocative. In private and with friends he could be engagingly witty. He was terribly self-centered, but in his relationship with his wife and children his shortcomings were tempered by a deep, abiding love. John Ferling's masterful John Adams: A Life is a singular biography of the man who succeeded George Washington in the presidency and shepherded the fragile new nation through the most dangerous of times. |

Stuart - Unregistered December 12, 2011 9:51 PM I'm clearly not going to change your viewpoint on anything, but if you cannot acknowledge that he has had a great season then you're showing unreasoned bias. To come so close to having beaten Webber by the end of the season proves this, and Webber's final win of the season was hardly on merit. I believe Vettel and Alonso both out-qualified their respective team mates an equal number of times, and I personally do not believe Vettel could have done a better job given that Ferrari.Also, why should Massa have been forced to relinquish a position to Hamilton? He was racing him, and then Hamilton made a mistake when trying to pass him. 2 agree 1 disagree
Angelina - Unregistered December 12, 2011 10:43 PM Massa was told to crash with Lulu. How come Vettel not be ur driver if its not possible to do better than Vettel in RBR or any car? Definitely Ferdi & Ham would have done worse than Seb in RBR least in Canaada, Hungary & quite likely Monza and Monaco too. Even in Spain.12 wins to 0/ 11 wins to 1 is better than 1 win to 0 i guess.Plus looking at points difference betn teammates, driving in rain, Monaco test driver's skills.4th with ferrari is not a good season, average season. BTW 4th in any car is average. Onlt top 3 get prizes. Maybe with ur reasoning Di Resta, Schumi, Rosberg all had good seasons. 0 agree 4 disagree
Roadrunner - Unregistered December 12, 2011 11:33 PM The problem is that the only indication of how good the car is that a driver has is the comparison to his team mate. Ferdi was way ahead of Massa (and so was Vettel), but the question is how good Massa still is. I've got the feeling that he hasn't been the same anymore since his freak accident ... 2 agree 0 disagree

Jack - Unregistered December 13, 2011 6:55 AM Angelina- your obvious dislike of Alonso clouds your judgement. To say that Massa was ordered to crash into Lulu is pure tripe and that Massa "out qualified him sometimes" so what - we didn't say Alonso was perfect - just that he did a great job in the 3rd fastest car. Now go and troll somewhere else - getting bored with your inane comments! 3 agree 0 disagree
Matt - Unregistered December 13, 2011 8:06 AM @ Angelina - This thread is about people choosing "their" driver of the year, not "yours" Seb had a Mansell year which statistically is good, but doesn't prove real skill against other drivers.I'm not to keen on Alonso but he is easily the best all rounder in the field, and making the ordinary Fez punch above it's weight, which is why people and me voted for him.Could Seb do what Alonso did in the Fez, probably not.Could Alonso do what Seb did in the RB, hell yes.Don't forget FA became a double WDC well before Seb did with a lot more competition from drivers and teams.Just because you love Seb don't expect everyone else to. 4 agree 1 disagree
Taipan December 13, 2011 8:12 AM Last Edited 1241 days ago Well said Jack.Angelina, Nobody is saying that Seb didn't have a fantastic season, but just because you hate Alonso (in your own words) doesn't mean that he didn't have a great season.Jose, maybe, just maybe if you listened to some of the people that actually know somthing about the sport, instead of insulting them, you would learn something. Now wouldn't that be nice? Reply Report abuse 4 agree 2 disagree
ron'sgoldenboy - Unregistered December 13, 2011 8:48 AM Angelina, Vettel has been statistically by far the best this season, but he has had the best pit crew who have consistently outperformed there closes rivals Mclaren, they have No1 designer who's achievements stretch back over 30 years, but most importantly he has been driving a car that has been .38sec/lap quicker than the rest this season hence he has been on pole most of the season and has been able to drive away from the rest at the race starts.The RB7/Vettel combination has lost 6 races and has had 1 dnf, its Vettel's not being able to challenge the rest when under pressure from others like Hammi in Hungary and Germany and Button in Canada which has seen the RB7 finish behind the the other cars, and even in the last race with the RB7 having a gearbox problem it was still quick enough to see off the Ferrari and Mclaren. So please Angelica look at the bigger picture regards Vettel's 2011 f1 campaign. 0 agree 0 disagree
Angelina - Unregistered December 13, 2011 8:49 AM @Matt"Could Seb do what Alonso did in the Fez, probably not.Could Alonso do what Seb did in the RB, hell yes."How do u know that? Team principals will disagree with you."Don't forget FA became a double WDC well before Seb"Schumi became 7WDC b4 FA, Senna 3WDC b4 Schumi, ..but Seb is a current 2WDC with a dominating season. Look at the diff to his teammate. Look at the diff. in no. of wins.Statistically FA is no longer better than Seb equal c'ships, less poles, less % wins, almost equal wins in many more starts. "did with a lot more competition from drivers and teams."Seb has 4 other WDC's on the grid, all with more exp & older than him but with less poles & less %tage wins (except schumi) than him. Its a record in F1's history. 1 agree 1 disagree
Angelina - Unregistered December 13, 2011 8:53 AM @TaipanI don't see how being 4th when expected 5th is a great achievement. Being 2nd when expected 5th or being 5th when expected 12th or below will be a great achievement.But, being 1st when expected 1st is a great achievement. Winning is an great achievement.Dominating even teammate is more than expected. 0 agree 3 disagree

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Talk of new military draft chills Americans
WASHINGTON -- The only child of one of my previous wives turned 18 last week, a milestone that, when I attained it a long, long time ago, was an occasion for panic, despair, and terrific music like Phil Ochs's Draft Dodger Rag to sing on the one-way journey to the Selective Service office and the jungles of Viet Nam:
(Sarge, I'm only eighteen, I got a ruptured spleen,
And I always carry a purse.
I got eyes like a bat, and my feet are flat, and my asthma's getting worse . . .
Yet today, 40 years later, in an age when barely one per cent of young American men and women voluntarily bear the burden of George Bush and Barack Obama's endless Asian wars, it is little remembered that the existential threat of forced military service once hung over every teen-aged male in the land.
In 1970, for example, my student deferment expired and I was classified 1-A by my draft board and therefore in prime condition for slaughter. Luckily, I drew No. 211 in the annual draft lottery; that year, only boys with numbers up to 195 were mustered. Many chose Canada. The names of 50,000 of the millions who did serve are etched on a long wall here in Washington at which pilgrims still gather every day to remember and weep.
Now, suddenly, the military draft is back in the news. Even though not a single lad has been compelled to join the American Army, Navy, or Air Force since 1973, male citizens still are required to register at age 18, under penalty of five years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and the forfeiture of eligibility for various government loans and civil-service jobs. Nationwide, 87 per cent of young men complied with the requirement in 2011. The District of Columbia ranked last of all states and territories except the far-flung Northern Mariana Islands with only 56 per cent registration. In any event, no draft dodger has been ragged to court in this country since 1986.
At issue now is whether females as well as males should be subject to conscription in the event of a Third World War, assuming the conflict against the godless hordes of (fill in blank) lasts longer than it takes to read this paragraph.
On one side, we have 20-term Congressman Charles Rangel of Manhattan, who has survived not only vicious hand-to-hand fighting in Korea with great distinction for bravery, but formal censure by the House of Representatives for corruption and tax fraud as well. Last week, Rangel introduced a bill, to wit: "To require the registration of women with the Selective Service System in light of the Department of Defence elimination of the rule excluding women from direct ground combat assignments in the Armed Forces."
Universal conscription, Rangel argues, "would compel the American public to have a stake in the wars we fight as a nation." Currently, 15 per cent of the U.S. Armed Forces is female, and more than 280,000 women have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
On the opposite flank are Representatives (and combat veterans) Mike Coffman of Colorado (a Republican) and Peter DeFazio of Oregon (a Democrat), who are marking up their own legislation that would abolish selective service altogether, at a claimed savings of $24 million a year.
Intrigued by this legislative skirmishing, I showed up in the House cafeteria the other day to take the pulse of the body politic and found it filled with members of the American Legion who were even older than Charlie Rangel.
"If there's another war, should they draft the girls?" I asked a table full of World War II and Vietnam vets.
"Equal rights!" chirped Ken Knight of Alexandria, Va., an old Navy man. "Let 'em have 'em!"
"My wife says women are more vicious killers than men," piped in Mike Mitrione of upstate New York, who did 20 years in the army.
The elder statesman of the platoon, which had come to lobby for veterans' benefits, was Charlie Powell, Jr. of Newport News, Va., age 89. Powell made half a dozen Atlantic crossings as a member of the merchant marine during the Second World War, having failed to be accepted into the Marine Corps because he had eyes like a bat.
"If I did get in the Marines," he said, "I probably wouldn't be here today."
"If there's another war, should they draft the girls?" I asked him.
"I don't see no reason why they shouldn't," the old salt answered.
None of this was good news to the only child of one of my previous wives, who is a female named Hannah. (Her father, my ex-wife's ex-husband, joined the Air Force at 18 before they could draft him and served as a tail gunner on B-52 bombing raids over Hanoi. He never fired his weapon.)
"If there's another war, should they draft the girls?" I asked her on the phone to Boise, Idaho, as she turned 18 without a Sarge in sight.
"I don't want to say anything bad about the sex I'm part of," Hannah replied. "But I think there are parts of the military that only boys should have to do."

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Searchers, accompanied by documentary filmmakers, plan to scour a New Mexico landfill in an attempt to unearth a legendary dump of millions of unwanted "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" video game cartridges rumored to have been buried at the site in the early 1980s, organizers said on Friday.
The suspected entombment in the small city of Alamogordo has become a point of intrigue for gamers over the past three decades, as the product tie-in to the classic 1982 movie "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" was a mammoth flop, remembered as having contributed to a sudden collapse of the video game industry in its early years.
The excavation, slated for the weekend of April 26, will be chronicled in a documentary led by Microsoft's Xbox Entertainment Studios, Microsoft said in a statement.
Filmmakers will set out to an old Alamogordo landfill, about 200 miles (321 km) south of Albuquerque, to determine if the story of the video game cartridge burial is true, a Microsoft representative said.
The video game "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" hit store shelves in winter 1982 as part of a $25 million deal with director Steven Spielberg to license his movie idea with Warner Bros, the then-owner of game manufacturer Atari Corp.
In an effort to push the product out by the Christmas shopping season, the game was developed in a fraction of the time typically needed for design, manufacturing and packaging, and it likely failed as a result, said Sam Claiborn, an editor at video game news site IGN.
"The game looked bad and it had nothing to do with the movie really," Claiborn said. "It was just E.T. falling in holes."
Atari is believed to have ended up sitting on the bulk of the 5 million E.T. game cartridges produced, which either did not sell or were returned. "That's a lot of stuff to get rid of," Claiborn said.
According to New York Times reports at the time, Atari buried the games in the New Mexico desert in the middle of the night. A game enthusiast later tracked down the suspected burial site and spread the word about the location, Claiborn said.
After the rumored burial of the high-profile game and other titles that also flopped, the U.S. video game industry in 1983 saw game sales crash, Claiborn said. "People just stopped thinking that games would ever sell again," he said.
The U.S. debut in 1985 of the Nintendo Entertainment System Console helped revive the industry, he said.
The story of the "worst game ever made and what happened to it" has since become a legend among gamers, Claiborn said.
Microsoft said it would provide more details about the dig in the coming days.
The New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department approved the excavation plans on Monday, after denying the dig two months ago due procedural concerns that have since been resolved, said department spokesman Jim Winchester.

Putnam superintendent says enrollment up
WINFIELD, W.Va. — The new Buffalo High School will be on display as it hosts the state board of education meeting this month on Wednesday and Thursday.
The meeting will give state board members a chance to see one of their Innovation Zone grants in action.
Buffalo is in its first year of a three-year grant for $100,000 per year to participate in the New Tech Network, a nonprofit that works with schools and districts on project-based approaches to learning.
Putnam County Superintendent Chuck Hatfield invited school board members Monday night to attend the meeting.
Hatfield also told board members countywide enrollment is up about 100 pupils from last year.
"That's in the realm of what we've seen the last couple years, somewhere between 100 and 150 students," Hatfield said. "We'll probably end up at about 9,850 (total enrollment.)"
Hatfield said enrollment has continued to grow each year since the Putnam County population boom in the 1980s and 90s, but that the average of 100 to 150 students per year is manageable because growth is spread throughout the county.
Still, he said West Teays Elementary has more than 600 students enrolled. Nearby Mountain View Elementary, which was built to alleviate the strain on West Teays, and Scott Teays both have about 450. All three buildings were designed or expanded to accommodate that many students.
The county is in the midst of a multi-year building program that will eliminate all portable classrooms in the county, with funding coming from a multi-million-dollar voter-approved bond sale in 2009, the state school building authority and local funds.
Hatfield reported that progress on one of those building projects, Poca Elementary and Middle schools, is on schedule for a winter-break move.
"It's going to be tight," Hatfield said.
Construction on an addition to the elementary school that will house the middle school is complete, and renovations on the elementary portion are nearly complete.
The elementary and middle schools will share only a kitchen and will have separate classroom corridors, dining facilities and gymnasiums.
This semester, the middle school students are still in their old building, which dates to 1926, while the elementary school uses the new space. Over winter break, the elementary will move back into its space, and the middle school will move into its new space.
But site work will continue after the holidays as the old middle school building is demolished and graded for parking and school grounds.
Finally, Hatfield told the board that the county is working with Glenville State College to identify students who might participate in their Hidden Promise scholarship program.
"If chosen these students would get a $1,000 scholarship plus they're assigned a mentor to work with them and check on them every two weeks," Hatfield said. "Check with their professors and make sure they're going to class, see if they have any difficulties and so forth."
Glenville State has asked the county to tap five students in each of grades 8 through 12 who might be good candidates for the program. Putnam is one of 30 counties participating.

Title: | HIGH RESOLUTION FOURIER SPECTROSCOPY OF THE LASER EXCITED $Cs_{2}$ FLUORESCENCE SPECTRUM: FIVE NEW ELECTRONIC STATES |
Creators: | Crepin, C.; Vergès, J.; Amiot, C. |
Issue Date: | 1984 |
Publisher: | Ohio State University |
Abstract: | The fluorescence of $Cs_{2}$ was observed inside a heat pipe oven which was operated at $sim 350^{\circ}C$. The spectra were recorded at high resolution $(0.005 cm^{-1})$ with a Fourier transform Interferometer. The fluorescence excited by the $Ar^{+}$ and $Kr^{+}$ lasers was observed mainly in the $4 300cm^{-1}, 6 500cm^{-1}, 8 500cm^{-1}$ spectral regions and also near the laser lines. The molecular constants of the pumped $E {^{1}}\Pi_{u}^{+}$ state where deduced from an analysis of the rotational relaxations and also thanks to the great number of pumped rotational levels. Molecular constants for three gerade states: $(1) {^{1}}\Pi_{g}, (2) {^{1}}\Sigma^{+}_{g}$ and $(3) {^{1}}\Sigma^{+}_{g}$ were derived from the study of the fluorescence spectra [1]. When using the ring dye laser, very high vibrational levels of the (2) ${^{1}}\Sigma^{+}_{g}$ state were observed. Triplets in the $4 200 cm^{-1}$ region were assigned to the fluorescence from the $D {^{1}}\Sigma^{+}_{u}$ state to the $1_{g}$ component of the lowest ${^{3}}\Sigma^{+}_{g}$ state. |
