Only a few more days left to go in 2010, but the Cyber Showcase Blog is heating up and getting ready for the next exhibition. mino-san, CES is just around the corner. I am looking forward to reading your real-time entries from Las Vegas, U.S., from the beginning of the year!
Video reports for Eco-Products 2010 are now available. You can see that the Panasonic is using the group's collective efforts to propose energy solutions for entire towns.
Eco-Products 2010 Vol.2 - Energy Solutions for Entire Towns from Panasonic
The Panasonic booth at Eco-Products 2010 presented with numerous experiential exhibits various ideas that reduce CO2 in entire towns and eco activities Panasonic implements under 2 categories, 'eco ideas' for Lifestyles and 'eco ideas' for Business-styles. Please take a look at the 'eco ideas' Panasonic, who aims to become the "No.1 Green Innovation Company in the Electronics Industry," introduced at Eco-Products 2010.
Eco Products 2010 Vol.3 - Energy Solutions for Entire Towns - Home
Panasonic, who aims to become the "No.1 Green Innovation Company in the Electronics Industry," is making efforts to realize this vision by proposing various 'eco ideas' that help reduce CO2 emissions of entire towns. In particular, Panasonic proposes "Energy Solutions for Entire Towns." Panasonic offers energy solutions for homes, stores, buildings/offices, factories and more. Please first take a look at energy solutions for the "home."
Eco Products 2010 Vol.4 - Energy Solutions for Entire Towns - Store, building/office, factory
"Energy Solutions for Entire Towns" the Panasonic Group proposes with its concerted efforts. Panasonic has pushed the "lifestyle with virtually zero CO2 emissions throughout the entire home" it has developed thus far to a new level, and now proposes 'eco ideas' that reduce CO2 emissions in entire towns. Vol.3 introduced energy solutions for the "home," and now, please take look at the energy solutions that has expanded to the "store," "building/office," and "factory."
Eco Products 2010 Vol.5 - Expanding Energy Solutions for Entire Towns
Panasonic proposed a wide range of "Energy Solutions for Entire Towns" at Eco-Products 2010. Lastly, let us introduce 'eco ideas' for public areas that will help bring about a low carbon society. Please take a look at the next generation 'eco ideas' exhibited at the Panasonic booth such as the "Solalib," which stores energy created by photovoltaic modules and uses the energy to charge electric vehicles.
As many of you may know, 2010 is the "International Year of Biodiversity." In Nagoya, the tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP), which is the governing body of the Convention on Biological Diversity that helps implement this convention, was held. Panasonic, too, is undertaking various activities to help protect biodiversity.
"Recycling-oriented manufacturing" evident from the processing of dismantling refrigerators
edited by mako at 2010-12-13 3:29 PM
In the "recycling-oriented manufacturing" corner in the "'eco ideas' for Business Style" zone, there is an exhibit that would be very interesting for those of you who like to visit factories or like to watch how things are made. You can see here how Panasonic reduces the use of resource in its manufacturing processes, recovers recyclable resources from end-of-life products, and develops ways to reuse resources recovered.
"Green Plan 2018" the Panasonic Group is implementing to realize its 100th anniversary vision
edited by mako at 2010-12-13 2:45 PM
Panasonic will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2018. As it heads towards that landmark year, Panasonic aims to become the "No.1 Green Innovation Company in the Electronics Industry." In the "Green Plan 2018" it announced in October this year, Panasonic pledged that it will continue to innovate while placing the "environment" at the heart of all its business activities. The GP (Green Plan) 2018 stage presentation communicates how Panasonic will make use of its eco technologies and how it aims to contribute to the global society in a way that is easy to understand even for children.
The Solalib you find in the middle of the Panasonic Group booth is one-half the size of those found in Kasai Green Energy Park. The Solalib has a clean design and exudes innovation. I can understand why it has become a symbolic presence of the factory.
Like the Solalib, the solar bicycle parking lot is being tested at the Kasai Green Energy Park. Perhaps we will see such "Solar Charging Stations," where we can charge EVs and Electric Assisted Bicycles, all around town in the near future.
An epic testing site for realizing a low carbon society – Kasai Green Energy Park
edited by mako at 2010-12-13 11:26 AM
In the "Entire Factory Zone," a presentation incorporating demonstrations introduces the wide range of activities undertaken at Sanyo Electric's Kasai Green Energy Park, which was built in the city of Kasai in Hyogo prefecture this October.
You will find about 1 MW (mega watt) of photovoltaic modules on the rooftop and walls of the buildings. These modules "create" 1MW of energy, which is equivalent to the energy consumed by 330 households. In particular, there are HIT(R) Double Facade photovoltaic modules on the external walls. Sanyo developed a unique construction method to install these bifacial photovoltaic modules that can even absorb reflected light as part of the external walls to enhance energy generation.
|A diorama of the Kasai Green Energy Park. The blue parts you see on the roof and walls are the photovoltaic modules. You can also see a model of the Solalib on the lower left.
These systems that "create," "store," and "save" energy are optimally controlled by the Smart Energy System (SES). The system monitors in real time the amount of energy created, stored, and used to control each device so that the energy may be used efficiently without waste. The Kasai Green Energy Park is also home to various test demonstrations, so it really does seem like a one-of-a-kind undertaking. I can't tell you everything about this park in my entries, so please also visit the website!
A video report, which gives you an overview of the Panasonic booth is now available. The camera travels from one corner to another to introduce the various ideas on exhibit. After having watched it, I felt as though I had taken a walk around the booth. Today is the last day of Eco-Products 2010. If you saw something in the video report that you were intrigued by, hurry and make your way over to the Panasonic Group booth!
WeLBA security system supports building facilities with its high energy saving performance
edited by mako at 2010-12-10 7:29 PM
What consumes the most electricity in buildings and offices is air conditioning, second is lighting. These make up 80% of the total energy consumption. So operating and management systems for building facilities such as EMIT building controller, WeLBA, may be particularly effective for medium sized office buildings.
WeLBA can monitor and control numerous facilities such as lighting, air conditioning, power, and meters, and you can do this centrally from your PC. For example, if air conditioning or lighting was left on in an office with no one in it, you can just turn these facilities off from the PC. You can also change the temperature settings of the air conditioning to practice Cool Biz and Warm Biz. The benefit is that you can control the facilities from a normal computer. You don't need special gauging monitors or a central monitoring room or specialized staff, so the system is easy to implement.
According to the staff, there are many building owners who not only want high security, but also energy saving performance from building facility maintenance systems after the Lehman shock. As a writer, I often write up interviews of small and medium-sized company's business managers, but there seems to be many companies who are moving to low cost buildings with high spec facilities. Perhaps this is because there are more office buildings with empty rooms nowadays, but I believe that in such times, WeLBA, which offers one-stop support for operating and managing building facilities, will play an increasingly important role.
HD Visual Communications System even communicates fine changes in facial expression and low volume sound
edited by mako at 2010-12-10 7:07 PM
Panasonic's HD Visual Communications System made a clear departure from traditional TV conferencing systems with high-resolution imagery and high quality audio. I have introduced in the past Eco-Products entry how this beautiful video and audio quality is amazingly realized via the Internet. In the "Entire Building/Office Zone," a demonstration inviting children to take part in a conference is taking place. It is fun watching the demonstration and the children's reactions.
|The MC is showing the children a real circuit board. As you can see on the plasma TV screen, a clear, close up image of this small circuit board can be sent and shared.
It is difficult to communicate with only photographs, but the smooth and consistent, high audio quality is another feature of the HD Visual Communications System. Maybe it was because the communication was so natural, but the little boy who played the role of the "president" said in a low voice at the end that he had "a lot of fun." The small microphone (which was placed in the center of the desk) picked up his voice even though he almost said it under his breath, and the eco factory manager heard it clearly. This was also impressive. If you could have such a real TV conference, you can truly reduce the number of business trips and thereby reduce CO2 emissions and costs.
In the "Entire Store Zone," an ecological store has been recreated. What is playing a key role here is Sanyo Electric's refrigerated showcase.
|Another benefit the showcase offers is that you can restock the showcase from the walk-in refrigerator without hauling products. The shelves are also slightly angled to make it easier to restock.
According to the staff in the booth, an ordinary super market spends 60% of its electricity bill on refrigeration facilities and air conditioning. When I go to the fresh foods section of a super market I sometimes shudder from the cold even in the summer, so making efforts to trap the cold air within the showcase as much as possible contributes to eco conservation.
ECONAVI is key to the energy saving solutions found in the "Entire Home Zone." Perhaps many people in Japan may have heard of the term, "ECONAVI," in the TV commercials featuring famous Japanese celebrities. Home electronics equipped with ECONAVI use Panasonic's unique sensor technologies to self-detect wasteful energy use and realize energy efficient operation. ECONAVI has been applied to a wide range of home electronics. Now, there are 15 categories of products available including not only white goods, but also TV, Blu-ray Disc(TM) recorders, mobile phones, etc.
|In the "Entire Home Zone," "ECONAVI Sensor Workshops" are held 4 times an hour. As I introduced in yesterday's entry, an MC dressed as a mother is conducting the demonstration on various sensor technologies, while also offering children opportunities to experience them. The children are very earnestly taking notes as they take part.
|When the children touch the device used to explain the principle behind the sensors that detect "people and objects," the line, which was straight before, changes into a wave. You can see how it is detecting people's movement.
After the workshop you could see the words, "ECONAVI," "sensors that detect people and objects," and "heat sensor" written on the children's notebooks. Perhaps they already come in contact with sensor technologies in their daily lives, but they understood the principle very quickly and they were very good at jotting down the essentials.
I have introduced Panasonic's ideas to reduce CO2 emissions in the "entire home" in my entries for Eco-Products 2008 and 2009. But these ideas have evolved extending the area the energy solutions cover to "entire towns." What forms the foundations of the solutions are ideas that "create energy" needed, "store energy" created, "save energy" as much as possible, and ideas for "energy management," which connects various equipment together and controls them intelligently. The ideas for the "entire home" that Panasonic proposed in the past have now been amplified and applied to "entire towns."
"Panasonic," who offers a wide range of products we use day to day, and "Panasonic Electric Works," who offers robust housing equipment and energy management solutions, and "Sanyo Electric," who has great competence in photovoltaic modules, storage batteries, and commercial equipment – because the Panasonic Group has the ability to offer products and solutions drawing from the competence of the entire group, it can propose ideas for reducing CO2 and energy solutions not only for homes, but also for "entire towns."
On the concept stage, the staff in charge of the "home," "building/office," "store," "public area," and the "factory" appear on the screen placed vertically on the right side of the stage to introduce the concept, "Energy Solutions for Entire Towns," in a very easy to understand way by carrying out a dialogue with the MC. The stage presentation is short, so not all of the products and services exhibited in the booth are introduced, but it successfully conveys that Panasonic is seriously committed to proposing "Energy Solutions for Entire Towns" through its eco activities.
Photo digest – Panasonic took on a great challenge; lighting up the Tokyo Sky Tree(R) with LED lamps!
edited by mako at 2010-12-09 6:53 PM
You will see an image of the Tokyo Sky Tree(R), which is still under construction, on the gigantic plasma display located at the entrance of the main street. Panasonic Electric Works Co., Ltd. is attempting to light up the Tokyo Sky Tree(R) with only "EVERLEDS," Panasonic's LED lamps. I took a picture of the Tokyo Sky Tree(R) lit up in "Miyabi," a shade of edo purple said to be difficult to reproduce. The Tokyo Sky Tree(R) can also be lit up in "Iki," a shade of a cool, aqua blue.
What is being introduced using an entire exterior portion of the booth are 'eco ideas' for Business-styles. The exhibits you will find here, starting with the section you can see closest in the photograph are "Green Plan 2018," "Recycling-oriented manufacturing," "Corporate citizenship activities," and "Biodiversity." There is a lot to cover in each of these sections, so I would like to introduce them in detail in my entries to follow.
Photo digest – "Solalib," the solar tree, which stands tall in the Public Area Zone
edited by mako at 2010-12-09 6:26 PM
On the cross road of the main street you will find the "Solalib." It is half the size of the ones you find at the Kasai Green Energy Park, but it is still very impressive. In the Public Area Zone, you will also find a solar bicycle parking lot and a LED lamp energy saving experiential corner. Perhaps it is because the "Solalib" is located on the junction, but it seems as though there is a constant flow of people here and it always seems very crowded.
This corner introduces eco measures for "entire factories." You will find a very elaborate diorama of a green factory Panasonic Group proposes and exhibits introducing ways to make energy use within the factory "visible," thereby making it possible to save energy in areas that were overlooked in the past. The large illustration in the center is a before-after image demonstrating how much change 'eco ideas' can bring about. What the children are intently looking at is a smaller copy of the illustration. They are concentrating very hard on this game of finding what improvements have been made by comparing the illustration on the left (before) to the one on the right (after).
Photo digest – "Entire Factory Zone" where you can see what the latest eco factory is like
edited by mako at 2010-12-09 5:42 PM
In the "Entire Factory Zone," you will find a miniature model of Sanyo Electric's most advanced eco factory, the Kasai Green Energy Park, and various green efforts are being introduced here. A demonstration is conducted by staff wearing factory uniforms thrice every 2 hours.
This is the "Entire Building/Office Zone." You will find the WeLBA security system, which manages the energy savings of entire buildings and base lights using the cylinder-shaped LED lamps that save energy but are as bright as fluorescent lamps on exhibit here. A presentation demonstrating the remote conferencing system using the HD Visual Communications System has just begun. Can you see that the presenter on stage is waving to the staff you see on the screen? I will talk more about this experiential stage presentation and the WeLBA security system in detail in tomorrow's entries.
Photo digest – Total eco cycle system, which takes advantage of Electric Assisted Bicycles
edited by mako at 2010-12-09 5:05 PM
On the exterior wall of the "Entire Home Zone" you will find a rental solution using Electric Assisted Bicycles. I have introduced Panasonic's Electric Assisted Bicycles at every Eco-Products, but what is unique about this year's exhibit is the check out post for renting out bicycles. If a customer wants to rent a bicycle, they only have to operate the screen on the post and go through the following processes – register, rent, pay, and return. In comparison to cars, bicycles are of course more ecological, but with the Electric Assisted Bicycles, you can get about easily even in areas with many hills; they are also great for people who do not have the physical confidence. Such a proposal has the potential to not only change stores, but also the entire region.
Photo digest – Panasonic Group's 'eco ideas' for the entire store
edited by mako at 2010-12-09 2:42 PM
In the "Entire Store Zone" you will find a showcase much like the one you would find in a Japanese convenience store that many children here love. This is an introduction of the eco experiment, which started in October this year in the city of Okegawa in Saitama prefecture. The "entire" store - from store systems to fixtures - was created with ideas from the Panasonic Group, including Sanyo Electric. An eco quiz rally is also taking place here. If you answer all the questions to the quiz right, the eco store manager gives you a stamp. Many children were already excitedly taking part in the quiz.
Photo digest – Panasonic contributes to the dawning of the EV (Electric Vehicle) era
edited by mako at 2010-12-09 2:18 PM
This corner showcases EV (Electric Vehicles) we often hear about nowadays. What is interesting about electric vehicles is that they can be connected to homes via the Home Energy Management System (HEMS) to become a "mobile environment" that goes beyond traditional thinking. Not only will you be able to charge your car with the energy created at home, you can share "information," so you will be able to very easily take the video content you have in the living room with you in your car. The 'eco ideas' House introduced in the CEATEC JAPAN 2010 video report demonstrated how EV, which hardly emits any CO2, can be charged in the home, and increasingly, I feel as though the boundaries between homes and automobiles are getting less and less clear cut.
Photo digest – creating energy, storing energy, and energy management
edited by mako at 2010-12-09 2:05 PM
Energy solutions for homes are on showcase next to the home appliances equipped with 'ECONAVI' that saves energy. The HIT(R) photovoltaic module and the household fuel cell cogeneration system create energy. The energy created is stored in the household lithium-ion battery module. Finally, the Home Energy Management System (HEMS) efficiently connects home appliances equipped with 'ECONAVI' I introduced earlier to obtain an even greater energy saving effect.
Photo digest –15 categories of home appliances are embedded with 'ECONAVI'!
edited by mako at 2010-12-09 1:50 PM
Let me introduce the various areas of the Panasonic Group booth with a series of photographs. First, let us start in the "Energy Solutions for the Entire Home" zone, which is located on the left hand side of the main street. There are already many visitors here in the booth, so it may be difficult to tell, but there are 15 categories of home appliances on exhibit that are equipped with 'ECONAVI .'
Photo digest – Interesting staff uniforms in the various corners!
edited by mako at 2010-12-09 1:40 PM
What is different about this year's Panasonic Group booth? One of the differences is the staff uniforms for each corner. To propose "Energy Solutions for Entire Towns," the booth has been designed to resemble a town, and there are staff in each zone of the booth – "Entire Home," "Entire Store," "Entire Building/Office," "Entire Factory," "Entire Public Area" – dressed as residents of the town. Let me introduce the fun costumes one by one. From the left, a staff working in the "factory," a "store," a mother at "home," a business woman working in the "office" and a jogger who enjoys her jogs in the "public area." It adds lighthearted fun to the whole booth, don't you think?
At 10:00a.m. on December 9th Eco-Products 2010 has begun. The skies in Tokyo are clear. The sun's rays are almost too bright.
The Panasonic Group booth this year is located in the East Hall 4 of the Tokyo Big Sight. When you come in through the entrance of the hall, you will see the blue Panasonic sign on your right. It is quite a big booth, so I am sure you will find it without any difficulties. The entire booth has been designed to resemble a town. When you walk down the main street you will find a home, store, office and a factory on both sides of the street, and the large solar tree, "Solalib," in the center welcomes you to the booth.
|This is the overall image of the booth seen from the concept stage. The main street is located between the concept stage and the Tokyo Sky Tree(R) and it stretches back into the booth.
Eve of the exhibition – Panasonic Group's booth has great presence
edited by mako at 2010-12-08 9:05 PM
I am here at the venue where Eco-Products 2010 will kick off tomorrow. This year, Panasonic created a Panasonic Group booth jointly with Panasonic Electric Works and Sanyo Electric. It is quite an expansive booth (450m2). The Panasonic booth at last year's Eco-Products was 270m2, so as you can see, this year's booth is much bigger. Although preparations were still underway, I took a look around the booth. It felt really big in comparison to the other booths nearby. And it is packed full of interesting exhibits, so I am looking forward to taking a closer look at the environmental technologies and 'eco ideas' Panasonic will showcase.
According to the press release from today, this year's theme for the Panasonic Group booth is – "Energy Solutions for Entire Towns." Because Panasonic offers solutions for "entire towns," there are services and technologies on exhibit that extend beyond the "entire home," to "entire stores," "entire buildings/offices," "entire factories," and "entire public areas." There are many experiential exhibits as well, so children can come and learn while they have fun. I will talk about this in more detail in my entries starting tomorrow, so stay tuned!
Eco-Products 2010, one of Japan's largest environmental exhibitions, will take place!
edited by mako at 2010-12-02 3:00 PM
hiroyuki-san, job well done on covering the Inter BEE 2010! This is mako, one of the writers for this blog. Only 1 month left to go in 2010, and it is once again the season for Eco-Products.
Eco-Products 2010 will be held for 3 days from December 9 at the Tokyo Big Sight. The number of exhibitors has increased from last year to 745 companies and organizations and 185,000 visitors are expected during the 3 days. This year, COP10 (the tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties) was held in Nagoya in October, and there seemed to have been a surge in awareness in environmental issues. Eco-Products 2010, an exhibition where the most advanced eco products and environmental technologies are showcased, will certainly also draw attention and the interest of society. I am looking very much forward to the exhibition already.
It just so happens that a special website for the Panasonic booth at Eco-Products 2010 opened today. I took a look earlier, and discovered that this year we will see a joint Panasonic-Sanyo booth, which will feature Panasonic Group's proposal for "Energy Solutions for Entire Towns." In addition to "homes" and "buildings/offices," Panasonic proposed at the Eco-Products in the past, you will see areas such as "stores," "factories," and "public areas" where a wide range of products and services will be on exhibit. There is also a Green Business Style zone where you can learn about the eco activities Panasonic undertakes.
- Eco-Products 2010
- Period: December 9 (Thurs) – December 11 (Sat), 2010
Venue: Tokyo Big Sight (Tokyo, Japan)
Organizers: Japan Environmental Management Association for Industry (JEMAI), Nikkei Inc.

Garage fire battled in Nashua
The fire broke out just before 10 a.m. and was reported by David Creed, the owner of the property. His home, about 20 feet from the garage, was not damaged.
Heavy flames were coming from the bays and had extended to a second-floor storage area when the first firefighters arrived on the scene.
Fire crews from the Lake Street station put the blaze out in about 25 minutes.
Dense fog made it difficult for the arriving firefighters to size up the blaze because the building was set back from the main road and because of various flammable liquids and vehicles stored inside, according to a news release. The scene also was icy due to the weather.
Flames compromised the floor joists, making the second floor unstable. The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the city's Fire Marshal's Office.

Up close and personal with SAIC's Yez Concept Car
Urban Chinese youth are among the most prolific users of mobile phone and mobile internet technologies in the world
Article Summary
A few days ago, I managed to get up close and personal in Shanghai with one of the most interesting concept cars the world has yet seen. SAIC's Yez concept car is the first automobile, concept or otherwise, that's ever been conceived to have a negative carbon footprint. That is, it removes more pollution than it creates.

Close shave for Colne charity beard growers
3:31pm Monday 30th December 2013 in News By Chris Adams
IT was a case of beard today, gone tomorrow for a group of fundraisers, inspired by a mother who battled cancer.
Around 10 friends of 27-year-old Katie Dowd, from Colne, grew beards for four months to raise money for Pendleside Hospice and the Teenage Cancer Trust.
But on Friday night, all but one were shaved off in public at The Venue, in Albert Road.
Five years ago, Katie, who has who a daughter, Abbie, and a son, Leo, was diagnosed with cervical cancer.
Following her diagnosis, Katie faced two months of gruelling radiotherapy, chemotherapy and brachytherapy at St James's Hospital, Leeds, and has been cancer-free since July 2009. She said: "I've been in remission for four years, but they don't say you've got the all-clear until you've been in remission for five years.
"The lads all decided to raise money so we went for the Teenage Cancer Trust, which helps people under 24 with cancer and treated me at its unit in Leeds, and also Pendleside Hospice, because it is a local charity."
So far the group, which includes Ryan Monk, Marcus Singleton, Sean Beck, Brad Gore, Jak Moore and Tom Vent, have raised around £1,500 for the charities. But Shaun Garvey, dodged the razor after he decided he liked his beard so much he wanted to keep it.
Former Park High School student Katie said: "They are all friends I know from around Colne and from school.
"I think some of them became very attached to their beards. There were some pretty interesting looks.
"We hired The Venue for the shave-off and did it up to look like a barber's. Ryan lives in Australia and grew his over there, but he came back for Christmas."

Dana Altman needed a shooter.
Altman was four seasons into rebuilding Creighton's basketball program when, during the summer of 1998, he and assistant Greg Grensing headed to an AAU tournament in Las Vegas hoping to fill that pressing need.
One of their targets was a young man from Pella, Iowa, by the name of Kyle Korver. The thing was, Korver was an under-the-radar prospect. While the big-time prospects played center stage, Korver and his team were performing in a basketball version of off-Broadway.
"He wasn't playing in any of the main gyms," Altman said. "We had to go find him. As we watched him play, Greg and I kept saying, 'Gosh, he really shoots it.'
"We were a little concerned about some of the other parts of his game, and we wondered who he would be able to guard. But we kept coming back to that we needed him as a shooter."
Altman eventually signed Korver, but neither the coach nor anyone else could have imagined then just how good of a shooter Korver would become. He went on to set a basket full of school records at Creighton, including 371 3-pointers in his four seasons, each of which ended with an appearance in the NCAA tournament.
When it came time for Korver to move on, the professional scouts had many of the same questions Altman had the first time he watched Korver play. But most acknowledged Korver could shoot it, and shoot it he has for four teams during the past 11 seasons. He is currently in his second season with the Atlanta Hawks after playing previously for Philadelphia, Utah and Chicago.
Heading into Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Korver has made 1,378 3-pointers. Only 24 players in NBA history have made more.
Korver has made 42.2 percent of his career 3-point attempts. Only 11 have shot better, and no player has shot a higher percentage in a season than when Korver shot 53.6 percent from beyond the arc for the Jazz in 2009-10.
He put his name into the NBA record book again Dec. 6. That night, for the 90th straight regular-season game, he made at least one 3-pointer. That broke the record of 89 consecutive games by Dana Barros, a mark that had stood for almost 18 seasons.
Korver has added three games to the streak, making one 3-pointer against Oklahoma City on Tuesday and four against both Washington on Friday and New York on Saturday. Monday, the Lakers will try to become the first team to hold Korver without a 3-pointer since the first game of last season.
Asked how much longer he expects the streak to continue, Korver laughed, then added, "I don't know, man, I don't know. I'm not playing for the streak.
"I don't shoot shots just to shoot them. I hate to miss shots. However that turns out in the end, all right. I never thought I'd get this far."
In some ways, the same could be said about his professional career. The thought of Korver playing 11 NBA seasons might have seemed far-fetched when he broke into the league as a rookie with Philadelphia.
In those early years, Korver now admits, he played to prove his detractors wrong.
"But if you let criticism and negativity be your fuel, you get really tired," he said. "When you get to the professional level, especially today with social media, there is just so much negativity out there.
"The last few years, I've tried to let other things, like joy for the game and purpose, be my motivation. I don't want that to sound cheesy, but I just got worn out trying to prove people wrong all the time. It makes your life miserable."
He looks around the league and sees players — some big-name stars — who are driven by the need to prove others wrong every time they take the court.
"Those guys are just not fun people to be around," Korver said.
That's hardly Korver. He has long balanced basketball with a desire to help others. His foundation has raised millions of dollars to help inner-city youth in the cities in which he has played and for people with special needs.
"He's a pleasant heart," Utah coach Tyrone Corbin told the Salt Lake Deseret-News. "He cares about where he lives. He's a giving person that wants to take care of his community as much as he can and be a part of it."
Corbin was a Jazz assistant when Korver played 2� seasons in Utah. It was with the Jazz that Korver set the season record for 3-point percentage, but it also was where he battled some of his darker days as a professional.
A series of knee problems cut into his efficiency and his playing time.
"I had some pretty serious stuff going on, and I wasn't sure how much longer I could play," he said. "It was pretty gnarly for a while. I had to learn how to fight through injuries.
"It's been a process getting back, and it's pretty cool now at 32 I'm probably the healthiest I've been in six or seven years. And, it's good to go through some of those tougher times when I wasn't playing a lot and I wasn't getting as many opportunities. You never want to take this for granted. It's a privilege to play in the NBA."
And it's a thrill to do something no other NBA player has done. After playing two seasons with Chicaco (2010-12), Korver joined the Hawks last season as a free agent.
He didn't make a 3-pointer in his first game with Atlanta. He did in his second, and he hasn't been shut out from beyond the arc in a game since.
Since Barros set the record in 1996, no other NBA player had made a 3-point basket in more than 62 consecutive regular-season games. Korver started this season with a 74-game streak.
As he kept tacking games onto his streak, he tried to separate it from his job.
"I didn't want to be out there playing for the streak," he said. "I'm out there to try to help my team win. I didn't want that to get in the way of the real picture of helping the Hawks win games."
As he closed in on the record, Korver couldn't help thinking about the streak.
"I was definitely nervous the last couple of games," he said. "I don't always get five or six looks a night. There were games that the other teams were aware of the streak, and they're talking about it, and how they're going to try to end it.
"That made it difficult to get shots off, let alone make them. The thing about it was that it (streak) was just so long. Every game I really had to be locked in, thinking about my shot, about my legs, about where my shots were going to be coming from. You don't want to do all that work and not get the record."
Korver let out a hearty laugh and quickly added, "That would have been a bummer."
Korver tied Barros' record by making six 3-pointers in a Dec. 4 home win against the Los Angeles Clippers. Two nights later, the record was his when he went 2 for 3 from 3-point range while scoring 10 points in a win over Cleveland.
His parents, Kevin and Laine, were in attendance to see him break the mark. So were wife Juliet and daughter Kyra.
Korver's achievement that night earned him a tip of the cap from LeBron James, who tweeted: Congrats to Kyle Kolver on breaking Dana Barros consecutive game with a 3! 90 straight games. That's a cannon!. #Congrats @TriggerFinger
Tom Thibodeau, his former coach in Chicago, told ESPN that Korver's record-setting ways are a product of an unrelenting attention to detail.
"It's not an accident; this guy, he puts a great amount of time into not only his shooting, but to preparing himself to play in each and every game," said Thibodeau, who was an assistant when Barros started his streak with Philadelphia.
"Kyle knows how to find openings. And he does everything. Everyone says he's not a great athlete; he's got great quickness because of his knowledge. And it doesn't take him long to get his shot off. I'm happy for him."
Korver concedes he's a different shooter than when he started jacking up 3s for Altman and the Bluejays in 1999.
"I break it down more," he said, "and I'm probably a better, smarter shooter than I was then."
What makes his newest record special to him is that Korver sees it as a testament to his consistency as a shooter.
"That's really important to me," he said. "I've never wanted to be a high-volume, hit-or-miss guy. As a shooter, I've strived to be consistent. I think more than anything, that's what this shows. There's a level of that here.
"You work really hard to do that, and that's the really cool thing."

A Film About Peeing: "Steve's Problem"
By Mollie McWilliams
According to Howze, a self-proclaimed "certified stencil geek," street stencils emerged as a counterculture movement in 1960s Paris through the Situationist movement. Artists in major cities worldwide began following suit, using stencils as a means to convey political messages. The art form's origins in San Francisco are a little murky. Stencil artist Scott Williams credits punk band the Fuck Ups as among the first to stencil their logo on San Francisco streets from 1979 through the early '80s. Williams, a local art legend who won the 2005 Adaline Kent Award from the San Francisco Art Institute, began applying stencils to various media in the 1980s on everything from canvas to cars.
Slowly, the number of stencils increased as graffiti became a part of American pop culture.
"There are stencils on every building. It's temporary, it's anonymous, whimsical, humorous, ironic. It's really an unsung art form," says Ray Morrone, curator of the Space Gallery.
On June 22, the venue was packed for the Stickers and Stencils show. Artists, 73 to be exact, sprayed their artwork directly on the gallery walls. Morrone hopes to unify local stencil artists and help bring more into the gallery atmosphere.
Not everyone in town, though, is a fan of stencilers. Peter Bray is a volunteer in the city's Graffiti Watch program. Every morning before the sun rises, the 48-year-old spends two hours walking through the Mission and painting over graffiti and scraping stickers. This has been his morning ritual for the last two years.
"It's my contribution to improve the morale of the people of my neighborhood," says Bray, who has lived in San Francisco for 27 years. "I'm walking in the Mission 10 times a day and when I'm not barraged by graffiti, I have a much lighter gait in my step."
But Bray doesn't waste his time with sidewalk graffiti. "People walking down the street aren't generally looking at the sidewalk ... the most effective improvement would be to improve the field of vision from a walker's perspective."
That's good news for the creators of "She Loves the Moon." Maybe their handiwork will still be around by the time you read this.

Abstract: The present paper deals with the period of India's greatest cultural fluorescence, The Golden Age. A lively intellectual debate has been going on among historians and archaeologists on the subject of the chronology of the caves at Ajanta. The study shows addition of many iconographic styles from Ajanta to Bagh caves and vice-versa due to movement of skilled workers and craftsmen between these two Buddhist sites. Many iconographic figures were added / deleted depending on the local condition of rock at both the sites. The art and architecture of these sites reflects India's great materials culture. The Ajanta paintings are not just a milestone in the history of development of world art but they also convey unique insights about the life of ancient Indians and their culture. This paper outlines some of the architectural features introduced from Ajanta into the other cultures. Furthermore, structural conservation measures and scientific methodology adopted for the preservation of Ajanta murals have also been highlighted.

benchmark each release of a node module published on npm against each other release using a small command line tool
Want to see pretty graphs? Log in now!
npm install npmbench
|downloads in the last month
|Last Published By
|0.0.4 last updated 2 years ago
|git://github.com/dtrejo/npmbench.git (git)
|Dependencies (6)
|npm, async, underscore, fs.extra, colors, metrics
A command line tool to examine your code's performance over various releases.
- Downloads all releases
- runs the specified js file against all versions
- shows you a graph of your module's performance (Note: this may or may not work depending on how your javascript file prints its results to stdout).
- specialized to read ops/sec from stdout
- releases with incompatible APIs will likely throw errors when the js file is run, and will be omitted aka set to 0. If the error is more serious, things may just crash and I'm sorry.
Example usage for testing the
redis package, and running the file
multi_bench.js against each release:
npmbench redis multi_bench.js
***** ( XX ops/sec ) v0.0.1
******* ( XX ops/sec ) v0.0.2
******** ( XX ops/sec ) v0.0.3
**** ( XX ops/sec ) v0.0.4
********** ( XX ops/sec ) v0.0.5
Niceties of npmbench's approach
- Output from each run of your js file will be put into a file named
- These are then parsed into json files which are put at
- makes it easy to run your own analysis of the numbers after all the benches have been run, or just grep through it :)
Why is this nice? Makes it easy to write your own parser for the output.
- skip running a given bench if there is already a .txt file there for it
- graph the graph with something fancier than asterisks on the command line.
- split out the parsing stage so people can supply their own output parser (too much work?)
- actually write the thing that aggregates all the json blobs into one graphable json blob

The Cubs have been the most active team heading into the New Year, but they have one more big move to go in the coming days, and that is to sign a rightfielder. Their target is Milton Bradley.
While the Cubs deserve the night off after signing second baseman Aaron Miles and trading infielder Mark DeRosa to the Indians for three pitching prospects, the Cubs will soon try to sign Bradley. They saved some money by dealing starter Jason Marquis on Wednesday, and also by replacing DeRosa with Miles, and perhaps that will give them the room they need to add a productive right fielder -- namely, Bradley. The Cubs have considered Bobby Abreu and perhaps Adam Dunn, as well, but with the shaky Alfonso Soriano in leftfield, they'd prefer a better defensive player in right field.
Bradley, who hit .321 with 22 home runs and 77 RBIs while resurrecting his career and reputation with Texas, has been seeking a three-year deal. Had his rep been spotless, though, he might have been able to get five years or more, based on his recent productivity. He led the American League in 2008 in on-base percentage (.436) and OPS (.999).

Comments about Atlantic Furniture Windsor Platform Bed with Matching Footboard in Antique Walnut:
Buying a bed sight unseen made me a little nervous, but this bed is great. It is very sturdy, easy to assemble, and has a beautiful finish. The color is even throughout the whole piece and the nightstand matches perfectly. The slats are even high quality. There are 14 of them and they are strapped together so they are always spaced evenly. Clearly a high quality piece we will have for a long time!

The Local Dilemma: Preemption and the Role of Federal Standards in State and Local Immigration Laws
Nathan Cortez
Southern Methodist University - Dedman School of Law
Southern Methodist University Law Review, Vol. 47, p. 61, 2008
SMU Dedman School of Law Legal Studies Research Paper No. 00-30
The recent flurry of state and local laws targeting immigration forces us to confront what role, if any, sub-federal governments should play. Our federalist system has carved out an amorphous role for sub-federal governance. Despite decades of pronouncements from the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, the role of state and local governance remains stubbornly undefined, teetering between permissible exercises of authority to regulate education, employment, and other traditional state concerns, and impermissible encroachments on the near-exclusive federal authority to regulate immigration.
A line of cases beginning with DeCanas v. Bica has held that certain state laws may distinguish between classes of immigrants only if states adhere to federal immigration standards. The recent wave of state and local laws has placed great faith in the ability of state and local government employees - and even private citizens - to determine immigration status by adhering to federal standards without deviating from those standards or creating their own in violation of the Supremacy Clause.
I use the decisions in Equal Access Education v. Merten to illustrate the dangers of this approach, applying this framework to recent local ordinance cases. I conclude that state and local laws should not avoid federal preemption simply by citing to or relying on federal immigration standards absent a clear finding that state or local agents will not systematically misapply federal standards. Determining immigration status should be the sole province of the federal government.

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
Hello, I am a stay at home mom that is looking for some part time tutoring opportunities. I am still in school to become a teacher but am almost done with my degree. I am very good with young children and am good with alternative learning. My own child learns very different than "normal" so I am good at adapting the material to the child's needs. I have had one previous job with a high school freshman that needed help in biology, Spanish, and history. I really enjoy working with students of all ages and look forward to working with anyone who sees me as a good fit. Thank you.

"Paradise Resortel, Patong, Phuket, Thailand."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Mar 20, 2012
The hotel is located at a strategic place and in the heart of Patong Beach whereby it is very easy to be located by visitors.It is convenient for us to move around in the town. Food is easily accessible at nearby restaurants. Room rated reasonable. The reception is efficient and the house keeping is good. There is no lift in the hotel. The air circulation is not good, thus making it stuffy.

Nest Thermostat - In the Forums
New Posts
- Nest So are you thinking of buying a Nest? 5 replies | Last reply 2 months ago
- Nest Nest: what exactly is it? A Thermostat! 2 replies | Last reply 2 months ago
The Nest Thermostat is to home heating and cooling what the smartphone is to the rotary telephone. In 2010, a couple of former Apple engineers — Tony Fadell and Matt Rogers — formed Nest Labs. The goal? Make a home thermostat that didn't suck, could save you money, and be something that you would actually want to stick to your wall. In 2011, the Nest Learning Thermostat, the first of the company's products, was born.
At its core, the Nest Thermostat is, as the name implies, a home thermostat. It toggles the heating and cooling in your home. If you're cold, you turn the heat up. If you're hot, you turn the air up. But Nests's real power comes from its connectivity. Nest ties into your home Wifi to connect to the Internet, as well as your mobile devices — and even other Nest devices in your home.
Like so many good products — and especially first-generation tech products — Nest isn't cheap. At launch, Nest was rightly compared to the iPhone. Nest was simple. Nest was beautifully designed. Nest did things in a way so that you weren't starting from scratch, that you didn't have to relearn how to heat and cool your home. Really, the only hurdles for purchasing a Nest Product were the underlying heating and cooling equipment, not being afraid to do some minor electrical work, and the ability to shell out the $249 for a single thermostat. Like we said — the Nest Thermostat isn't cheap.
Owning a smartphone isn't a requirement for owning a Nest Thermostat, though it does make the experience more enjoyable, and certainly more flexible. Nest works with Android smartphones and tablets as well as with iOS devices — the iPhone and iPad. But you also can control it remotely via a web browser. The Nest Thermostat is smart enough to talk to other Nests in your home. If you've given it your ZIP Code in setup, your NEST Thermostat will know your rough location and know what the weather is like. Nest also pays attention — learns, really — your habits. Do you like it warm at night while you sleep? It'll help find the right temperature setting. Are you gone all day but forget to turn down the heat? Nest will learn that, too, and adjust to an "away" status. It'll recognize when you return home and wake things up again.
Or, our favorite, is when you use Nest to remotely turn on the heat or air on the way home, arriving and a perfectly comfortable house.
In addition to the Nest Thermostat, Nest Labs also has also released a $129 combination smoke/carbon monoxide detector, dubbed the Nest Protect.
In January 2014, Google announced it would purchase Nest Labs for $3.2 billion, and the deal was closed a few weeks later.

Pembina Institute takes province to court
The Pembina Institute is taking the provincial government to court over the right to participate in a public review of a proposed oilsands project. We talk to Simon Dyer from the institute about the court challenge.
