My projections for this week's inventory report are summarized in the above table. I am expecting the US refining sector to increase marginally as the refining sector continues to return to normal from the recent storm on the east coast. I am expecting a modest build in crude oil inventories, a build in gasoline and another draw in distillate fuel stocks as the weather was colder than normal over the east coast during the report period. I am expecting crude oil stocks to increase by about 2.3 million barrels. If the actual numbers are in sync with my projections the year over year comparison for crude oil will now show a surplus of 40.1 million barrels while the overhang versus the five year average for the same week will come in around 45.2 million barrels.
I am expecting a modest draw in crude oil stocks in Cushing, Ok as the Seaway pipeline is still pumping and refinery run rates are continuing at high levels in that region of the US. This would normally be bearish for the Brent/WTI spread in the short term but the spread is currently trading at a relatively high premium to Brent but off of the highs hit about a week or so ago. The slow return from maintenance in the North Sea has been the main driver that has resulted in the Nov Brent/WTI spread now trading over the $23/bbl level as of this writing. The widening of the spread should begin to ease once the North Sea returns to a more normal production level.
With refinery runs expected to increase by 0.2% I am expecting a build in gasoline stocks. Gasoline stocks are expected to increase by 1.0 million barrels which would result in the gasoline year over year deficit coming in around 1.8 million barrels while the surplus versus the five year average for the same week will come in around 0.3 million barrels.
Distillate fuel is projected to decrease by 0.4 million barrels. If the actual EIA data is in sync with my distillate fuel projection inventories versus last year will likely now be about 16.1 million barrels below last year while the deficit versus the five year average will come in around 26.6 million barrels.
The following table compares my projections for this week's report (for the categories I am making projections) with the change in inventories for the same period last year. As you can see from the table last year's inventories are mostly in directional sync with this week's projections (except for crude oil). As such if the actual data is in line with the projections there will be a modest change in the year over year inventory comparisons for crude oil.

Hedge funds increased bets on gold rallying after prices plunged the most in 33 years, underscoring billionaire John Paulson's view that bullion will rebound.
Fund managers and other speculators increased net-long positions in gold by 9.8% to 61,579 futures and options in the week ended April 16, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show. Investors turned bullish on silver for the first time in three weeks. Wagers on higher prices across 18 U.S.-traded raw materials climbed 5.1% to 453,467 contracts, the first gain in three weeks.
A two-day, 13% drop in gold through April 16 drove prices to a two-year low, erasing $560 billion from the value of central-bank reserves since the metal peaked in 2011. Official- sector purchases and demand in Asia will support bullion, Paulson & Co. said in a letter to clients last week, joining BlackRock Inc., the world's biggest money manager, in predicting a rebound. The U.S. Mint's sales of American Eagle gold coins surged eightfold this month from a year earlier.
"Given the price action, this rise in holdings was pretty surprising," said Dan Denbow, a fund manager at the $1 billion USAA Precious Metals & Minerals Fund in San Antonio. "People may have been looking to get back into the market and are taking advantage of the price to do so. There are people who still have a long-term belief in it. Physical buyers have also stepped up."
Prices Slump
Gold futures slumped 7% to $1,395.60 an ounce on the Comex in New York last week, the biggest drop since September 2011. The Standard & Poor's GSCI Spot Index of 24 raw materials fell 2.5%. The MSCI All-Country World Index of equities slid 2.2% and the dollar rose 0.5% against a basket of six trading partners. Treasuries rose 0.1%, a Bank of America Corp. index shows. Gold futures for June delivery gained 1.9% to $1,422.20 at 10:05 a.m. on the Comex in New York.
Since reaching $1,321.50 on April 16, the lowest since January 2011, bullion rebounded 7.6%. The China Gold Association said retail sales surged April 15 and 16. Imports by India may jump by 36% in the three months through June compared with a year earlier, the Bombay Bullion Association Ltd. said April 18. The U.S. Mint sold 167,500 ounces so far in April, heading for the biggest monthly total since May 2010.

Italy beat Czech Republic 3-2 (25-23, 19-25, 25-21, 20-25, 15-6) - duration 1:59
13-Aug, start time: 21:30, end time: 23:29 - Attendance: 200
Italians complete the list of eight finalists.
The Czechs started off with great energy, gained advantage and did not allow it to decrease throughout the first half of the first set. This gave Italians the boost and not only did they caught up with their opponents but also managed to get advantage over them. The Czech team started losing their confidence, especially that one of the players, Goliasova Jana, no 10, was shown a yellow card for misconduct, because of which the Czechs lost one additional point and failed to win the set. The Czech players began the second set determined to win. And this time, despite fierce attacks from the Italian side, accomplished the task. Their advantage was increasing as the second set progressed and they finally beat Italians 19:25. In the fourth set the audience could witness a spectacular volleyball show. Both teams went hand in hand through the first part of the set. But, after the Italians took over the leadership half way through the set, the Czech team was no loner able to get back the lost points and were beaten by their rivals 21:25. Neither of the teams was the leader in the fourth set. The twenty four minute ferocious fight ended up in the Czech victory. The Italians were defeated 20:25.
In the tie break the Czechs seemed to have lost the faith in their victory and could not find the means to break the Italian advantage. The Italians became the winners of the match as well as the last team to join the top eight.

LOS Angeles —
Outside, amid the swaying and chanting of thousands of fans in soggy blue ponchos, shock pelted the Rose Bowl like the cold rain.
Inside, in an equally stunning turn of events, Lane Kiffin was safe and warm.
In answering a question about his job security moments after an embarrassing 38-28 loss to UCLA on Saturday, the increasingly embattled USC coach said his position for next season had been assured and later told me to call Athletic Director Pat Haden to confirm.
I did, and he did, Haden delivering the news that will stun many Trojans fans as much as their formerly top-ranked team's absorbing only its second beating by the Bruins in 14 years.
"Lane is my head coach, 150%, now and hopefully for a long time," Haden said in a phone interview. "I see the future. I see the potential. I know what he's been fighting through and I like what he's done."

Recently we've been looking for a good way to map XML data to Java objects and vice versa. Although this can be done with DOM, jdom and dom4j, it would be nice if it wasn't necessary to write so much glue code.
The process of moving data from an SQL database to objects and then to XML, or back in the opposite direction, highlights what has been called the 'impedance mismatch' problem.
While there are emerging frameworks for making the XML to object mapping process easier, there is still no dominant solution to this problem.
The Java Community Process has produced the JAXB specification and a reference implementation.
Another alternative is JiBX from sourceforge.net and XMLBeans from the Apache XML project.
However, it seems that some researchers at Microsoft understand the impedance mismatch problem very well.
In what appears to be a deliberate leak, a research paper on a new Microsoft language called Xen was published on the web:
Programming with Circles, Triangles and Rectangles
Xen addresses the impedance mismatch by creating a language that unifies access to objects, XML,and SQL. This looks like exciting stuff and directly addresses the impedance mismatch by making the language itself handle XML and SQL data as easily as objects.
James Strachan, author of dom4j, one of the nicest Java XML DOM interfaces, and author of Groovy, a Java scripting language, groks Xen:
If he puts in Xen-like features into Groovy, as he is proposing on the Groovy wiki, then it may be possible to solve the impendance mismatch problem (Circles, Triangles and Rectangles) in the Groovy language itself:

Patriot Viper 3 Series Black Mamba PC3-19200 16GB Review
Patriot Viper 3 Series Black Mamba PC3-19200 16GB Introduction:
With the launch of a new chipset and processors from Intel, which deliver incredible memory speed capabilities right out of the box, memory manufacturers are delivering kits that can take advantage of the new Haswell architecture's robust memory controllers. Patriot has such a kit in its arsenal with the Viper 3 Series Black Mamba PC3-19200 kit rated at 2400MHz and running a CAS latency of 10 using just 1.65v. I have looked at several of the Viper 3 kits in the past, including the 2133MHz set of these modules that pushed up over 2500MHz on the Z77 platform. When you look at it over time, Patriot has a strong track record of delivering exceptional memory performance with its Viper series lineup. As the lineup has matured and speeds have risen, changes have been made in the heat sink package used on the modules. The original Viper series modules used an AOC sink with high rise cooling fins that have shrunk down in size with the Viper Series sinks seen on the company's Division 4 modules. Now the Viper 3 design is in use, which while light weight, is functional. Patriot offers the Viper 3 modules in a variety of colors to more closely match your system theme with Venom Red, Jungle Green, Sapphire Blue, and Black Mamba.
While I get to explore the potential of this set of Viper 3 Series Black Mamba modules in a 4x4GB 2400MHz configuration, the series is available in speeds from 1333MHz to 2400MHz and capacities ranging from 8GB to 32GB for both Intel and AMD platforms. Set up with an Intel XMP 1.3 profile and delivered with a lifetime warranty, this set has the potential to be world class with a modest price point based on some of the past history. Will this set deliver the numbers we like to see? Let's dig in and find out.
Patriot Viper 3 Series Black Mamba PC3-19200 16GB Closer Look:
When you look at the packaging, you get a dark theme with the Black Mamba modules. A window shows the modules off so you know exactly what you are getting when you lay down your hard earned cash. The Viper and Patriot names are in silver on the black background. There is a decal that lists the capacity of 8GB, how the configuration is reached (2x4GB), and the speed rating of PC3-19200 or 2400MHz. Further down the information shows the modules are hand tested, feature an Intel XMP profile, and are equipped with an advanced cooling system. The back side talks about the lifetime warranty in multiple languages, while the SKU decal lists the model number of these modules.
Introduced last year, the Viper 3 heat shield differs from the many previous iterations of the Viper heat sink package by using a thin aluminum shield instead of a robust aluminum shield that uses copper in direct contact with the memory ICs. The stamped heat shield is slightly taller than the Division 4 or Viper Extreme heat shield at 41mm, putting the airflow openings right in the air stream, feeding the CPU cooler for maximum cooling efficiency. The front side of the modules shows the Viper name and the Patriot logo on the shield, while the back side carries the specifications/warranty tag. On this tag is the unique serial number, the part number PV38G240C0K, capacity of 2x4GB, voltage needed (1.65v), and the memory timings of 10-12-12-31. Across the top edge of the heat sink is a decal with the Patriot logo to let the world know you are packing some Patriot heat. The PCB used on this set of modules is green rather than the black we saw last year. A little off-putting, but as long as the modules perform well; that's what matters most.
If past performance is any indicator, this set of modules should prove to be high end overclockers with the good looks to make a lasting impression.

Pinkerton math team excels at numbers gameBy HUNTER McGEE
Union Leader Correspondent
January 22. 2014 1:06AM
DERRY — Members of Pinkerton Academy's math team are finding the right formula for success this year as the squad is undefeated and on track to win the league championship.
After winning the championship last year, the team is in first place with three straight victories in the Tri-State Math League, math teacher Ellen Berchtold said Tuesday.
The team competes regularly against the seven teams in its division and has a good chance to advance to the league championship later this year, said Berchtold.
"If we stay ahead, which I'm pretty sure we will, we'll win the league championship," Berchtold said.
The math team is made up of A-level Geometry, Honors Algebra 2, Honors Precalculus and Honors Calculus students. There are about 20 members on the team.
Each competition is referred to as a meet, and the students travel to the high school that is hosting the event. There are five different categories of math problems, ranging from Algebra to Calculus, which the team members must try to solve. Berchtold is responsible for helping the team prepare for a meet.
"It's my job to come up with enough practice problems and as many things I can think of for them to work on so they aren't totally surprised by the meet," she said.If the team wins the league competition, it can advance to the state championship in the spring, she said. Pinkerton has won the state championship before. The team also has a chance to compete in the New England math championship, which is scheduled for later this year in Massachusetts.
Berchtold said she attributes the students' success to hard work and a few other factors.
"Primarily, they are very bright kids. They are hardworking, they take it seriously and they like to win," she said.

Are there any guides that tell me all I need to know about legal-ish stuff like this for websites?

As the Eagles began preparations Wednesday for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Michael Vick said the major adjustment he made in playing without a turnover in last week's game against the Giants was to settle down and run the offense.
"Sometimes you just get in situations where you just try to force things and make things happen," Vick said to a huge media throng crowded around his locker stall. "Sometimes that can be Kryptonite for a quarterback ... you try so hard, you don't let it come naturally ... you get into a rhythm, learn to play within the system, try to do that over and over again."
Earlier, Eagles coach Andy Reid said everyone but LB Akeem Jordan (hamstring) and DT Derek Landri (knee swelling) would practice Wednesday. He again tiptoed around a question about whether LT King Dunlap, back from a two-week hamstring injury absence, would start this week over Demetress Bell. Reid noted that Bell, the guy the Eagles signed as a free agent to start at left tackle when Jason Peters tore his Achilles', played well against the Giants. "That gives me a little time to see how King's doing," Reid said.
Asked about the decision to cut linebacker Brian Rolle, who started 13 games last season as a rookie, Reid said: "Brian's going to hook on with someone else and do a good job. For what I ws trying to get done here, he wasn't the right fit."
The Eagles replaced Rolle on the roster with veteran linebacker Adrian Moten, who was with the team in preseason and has more special teams experience. Their kickoff coverage is next-to-last in the league.
"You never know how the NFL goes," Moten said. "One week you're playing linebacker, next week you're not. I think a lot of people see me as a special teams guy and a good linebacker. There's no real key to coverage on special teams; it's all about being a ballhawk."
Reid said the difference between losing a lot of close games early last season and winning them so far this season "comes down to attitude and push, trusting one another, pushing through the tough times, knowing each other like the players know each other now. A lot of moving parts last year. We weren't as comfortable with each other."
This week, the Eagles face a huge challenge -- literally -- in the Steelers' 6-5, 241-pound quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, who might be playing the best ball of his career at age 30. Roethlisberger has completed 68.3 percent of his passes through three games, with eight touchdowns and one interception. He has a 109.2 passer rating.
Reid said Roethisberger "extends plays -- he's very strong in the pocket, and he has mobility. He always keeps his eyes down the field. If you have that one quality that's a little different from some of the other quarterbacks, this one guy here keeps every play alive. As a secondary player, you'd better continue to play your player until the play is history, until it's over, or he's going to find that guy and make you pay for it."
Among those practicing Wednesday, as he has the past few weeks, is WR Riley Cooper, who suffered a broken collarbone early in training camp. Asked why he seems in no hurry to get Cooper back in the lineup, Reid emphaisized how much work Cooper missed, and said WR Mardy Gilyard has done well on special teams in Cooper's absence.
"It allows Riley to get out there and practice, and that's what he needs right now," Reid said. "He needs to continue to do that. We'll see how he feels this week, and evaluate it as we get further in the week."
Second-round rookie defensive end Vinny Curry hasn't been active yet this season. Normally, that might invite some scrutiny, but everyone assumes the Eagles' amazing depth at DE is the problem, not a lack of skill on Curry's part.
This still isn't exactly what Curry envisioned when he arrived, though.
"I wouldn't say it's frustrating, because you know these guys are doing a good job. If they'd been slacking on the job, then I would say it'd been frustrating. These guys are phenomenal, right?" Curry said.
Curry said he tries to stay plugged in at games, even though he's in street clothes. "If I see something, I'll let these guys know," he said.

While many words could be used to describe the Dove Creek High School track team's 2014 season, "outstanding" might be the most appropriate.
Competing at the Colorado State Track and Field Championships in Lakewood, Colo., the team amassed three individual state titles, three other top-three finishes and finished third in the girls team standings.
Running in the final meet of her high school career, senior Corissa Guynes secured a spot in Bulldog lore, winning state titles in the 100-meter hurdles (16.49) and 300 hurdles (47.94). Guynes also finished fourth overall in the 200 (13.15).
In the (100 hurdles), the girl next to (Corissa) was ahead over the ninth and tenth hurdle," said Bulldogs head coach Jason Fury. "Cory was so strong and won that race. In the (300 hurdles), she blew everyone out of the water."
Guynes finished her career with three individual state titles and the Class 1A state record in the 300 hurdles, which she set in 2013.
Throwing in her final high school meet, senior Madison Young turned in a performance that will not soon be forgotten, finishing first in the shot put (36 feet, 4 inches) and third in the discus (106 feet, 10 inches).
Not only was Young's performance in the shot put good enough to win a state record, but the senior's throw also set a Class 1A state record.
"(Madison) showed a lot of mental toughness," said Fury. "She was absolutely outstanding."
Competing as the lone representative of the Dove Creek boys team, senior Taylor Hankins made his final meet a memorable one.
In addition to finishing third overall in the 300 hurdles (43.35), Hankins also performed well in the 200, finishing ninth overall (24.40).
"(Taylor) got his PR in both of those races," said Fury. "He just responded. (State) can be an overwhelming venue for some kids, but he really responded and ran well."
Bolstered by outstanding performances by Young, Guynes and several other athletes, the Dove Creek girls team finished third overall in the state with 68 points. Shining Mountain Waldorf won the team title with 74 points, while Heritage Christian finished second with 71 points.
"It came down to the last race of the weekend," said Fury. "We were still in it. It just didn't happen in that last race even though our girls in that race ran really well."
Key scorers for the Bulldogs included Jessica Guynes, who finished seventh in the 800 (2:34.37) and 8th in the 400 (1:05.30), Shelbie Knuckles, who finished 8th in the 100 hurdles (18.10) and Kristin Knuckles, who finished 11th in the 3200 (13:53.12).
Several Dove Creek relays also performed well with the 4x100 finishing third (53.41), the 4x400 finishing sixth (4:30.26), the 4x800 finishing sixth (11:15.29) and the sprint medley finishing seventh overall (2:06.21).

Ne-Yo Launches Malibu Red at Private Concert in NYC
R&B genius Ne-Yo has partnered up with Malibu Rum for his next business venture and last night (March 21) the official launch of Malibu Red kicked off.
The private celebration and performance was held at the Liberty Theater in New York. Guests sipped on signature Malibu Red cocktails and two-stepped to the beats of DJ Kiss. The night got even hotter when Ne-Yo took the stage to perfom some of his classic hits including, "Closer," "Miss Independent," and "Because of You."
The angelic sounds of Ne-Yo paired with smooth coconut rum and fiery silver tequila made a perfect night for the crowd.
Check out some photos from the event.

People keep asking us, "How're y'all liking this heat?" It's part friendly challenge—can the Brooklyn transplants hack the Texas summer?— and part stamp of approval: we, like everyone else around here, are surviving a record-breaking run of 100-plus degree days (which I think makes our little family officially Texan). To tell the truth, though, I didn't really realize, until these questions started, that there was anything unusual going on. I'd heard so much about the heat before getting down here that I just assumed this was what everyone was talking about. Apparently, however, scorchers like these don't usually start their reign until August. We moved right into the thick of it last year, and, after a lifetime of Northeastern winters, thought the infamous August 'weather' was a piece of cake—nothing a little A/C couldn't fix. Now that we're in it again, though, and now that the it's been going strong since June, we— including, most significantly, our very busy toddler—are starting to experience a touch of cabin fever. Yep, cabin fever in July.
Kaspar is about as white as white people come, though he quickly turns red when overheated, so we keep a hat on hand when heading out and try to stay out of direct sunlight lest the little man burn (hasn't happened yet… never will on my watch!). This means that dawn and dusk represent our only real unrestricted outdoor play opportunities at this time of year, and we usually don't have our act together to get out in the morning before it becomes too hot. We work hard to keep things interesting for Kaspar during the day-- I take him to appointments, to the library, and on errands, and we run around the house like wild animals, have playdates and read lots of books. Aaron brings him out to our condo-complex pool every afternoon—it's shaded, and he LOVES it— and we all play outside together after dinner. We've got a good thing going, for sure, but I know cabin fever from a mile away, and I sense that Kaspar's toys (how do we have so many??) and indoor slide-thing are getting to be old news; he's getting antsy with the ratio of indoor to outdoor play.
This afternoon, in a desperate/genius move to keep Kaspar from purchasing (more) foreign apps on my phone—my phone is his new go-to favorite toy-- I filled a plastic food container with water, grabbed a few toys for him to dip in it (or whatever), and moved our little operation to the walkway just outside our front door (also shaded). He did some dipping, then poured the water everywhere and asked repeatedly for more— my activity was a hit! Awesome! Kas is seventeen months old, though, and has an attention span to match—so I need a few more good ideas for our summer survival repertoire. We've got another two months, at least, to go before things cool off enough to even that indoor/outdoor ratio out.
What does your family do to beat the heat? Or, if you're a long-cold-winter pro, how do you keep indoor time fun and exciting (and cabin fever at bay), day in and day out? I'm looking forward to your ideas!
PS. Want a super simple and delicious recipe that'll make you swoon for summer (and its farm-fresh produce) forever? I made this for a little dinner party recently, and it was amazing. Bon appetit!

Bicycling robber eludes capture in Laconia
October 21. 2013 7:20AM
LACONIA - A masked man robbed Premium Mart on Court Street Sunday night just before 11 p.m. and then made his getaway on a bicycle.
The robbery happened at 10:44 p.m. At the 280 Court St. store. A white man, about 5-foot-7, wearing a gray/white striped hoodie and a mask, entered the store and demanded "the cash," according to a news release issued by the police department.
No weapon was shown and the robber made no threats.
The clerk backed away from the counter and the man reached across and grabbed the cash in the register. He ran out of the store but moments later was seen on a black mountain bicycle pedaling away from the scene.
Police said witnesses saw the robbery and the store is equipped with video surveillance.
Investigators are asking anyone who has information about the incident to call them at 524-5252.

I drove by the old barn every day for years on my way to work. It sat in a field on Sixth Street in Dover across the street from Liberty Mutual.
It looked more than a little shaky in recent years, but the wood was still striking — strong, wide planks with that weathered, ancient gray color.
Some might call it barn board. There was a fad in the late 1970s and into the early '80s that created a run on barn board. Barns all over New England were dismantled and stripped down to the framing so folks could take the gray weathered planks and nail them to the walls of their basement rumpus rooms. It was agrarian chic back then to cover a wall or two or build a bar with barn board. Some entrepreneurs even manufactured fake plastic barn board so people could buy the look without actually ripping down a barn.
But the country chic decorating fad fell out of favor and so did the demand for weathered gray planks.
The barn I passed each day had survived the fad, snowstorms, rainstorms, whipping New England winds, blistering summers and maybe even a few lightning bolts. It was clear someone, generations ago, had put a lot of love into that building. It was quite a sight to see it standing in the morning light as the traffic sped by, a modest relic from a bygone era.
Then one day recently I saw a team of surveyors at work on the property surrounding the barn. The activity level grew from there. First there were big yellow bulldozers moving trees and earth around the field. Then, the next thing I knew, the old barn was a pile of rubble. I was shocked to see it in pieces in a massive pile on the ground.
We had a story about it in Foster's Daily Democrat. We try to tell people what's going on in their communities. That's our job, and I was certain I was not the only person driving by who noticed what happened to the barn and the surrounding land. As it turned out, the site was being prepared for a new building, a dentist's office.
It sounds like a great project and I'm sure it will be a big success. In fact, I hope it is. I am not anti-progress, but will miss the sight of that barn. I wondered if there might be a story behind it, so I called Dover Planning Director Chris Parker to see what he knew. He told me the farm had been in the same family for a few generations and that 14 members of that family had been involved in the real estate sale. He also gave me the name and phone number of one of the family members.
When I called Jeff Weeden, he was proud and excited to talk about the property and its history. His grandfather, Scott Weeden, had acquired the property piece by piece. It had been part of the old Clark Farm across the street on the property that is now the Liberty Mutual campus. The owners of the Clark farm had sold the land to Weeden and pretty much expected him to fail, Jeff Weeden said. They figured Scott Weeden would not be able to make the payments and the land would revert to them. But, they underestimated Scott Weeden. He turned the property into a working farm with cows, chickens and a horse. He cut the hay by hand using a scythe and stored it in the ancient barn that had come with the property. It was built in the 1700s from wooden planks cut at a sawmill on the Cocheco River.
Scott Weeden was as industrious as they come. He worked at a shoe shop every day while farming his land. And, in his spare time, he built his home with his own hands on top of the well so he could pump water without having to go outside. The house is still standing on a piece of land adjacent to where the old barn stood.
Scott Weeden's wife worked the land, too. She raised poodles and Schnauzers on the farm at her business called Indian Brook Kennels.
There used to be a pond on the property, but it was drained some time ago. The Weedens made a little money there, too. You could ice skate in the winter. Jeff Weeden said some of the signs from the ice rink concession stand still survive. "Five cents for a soda and seven cents for a hot dog," Jeff says laughing.
The skating rink has special significance to Jeff because his wife's parents actually met and started their romance at the pond. Imagine if they had never met!
Jeff said it was hard to see the old barn go. He and his family had tried very hard to get someone interested in preserving it, but there were no takers.
I felt glad after my conversation with Jeff. He was a good storyteller.
I will miss the sight of the old barn, especially in the subtle morning light of winter or just before dusk on a golden autumn day. But at least I know the tale behind it, and telling it will somehow keep it alive.

Filmmaker Q&A: Judge and General
- Watch Complete Episodes:
- at video.kqed.org
This series presents an array of groundbreaking and distinctive perspectives on contemporary life as chronicled by some of America' s and Europe's most visionary non-fiction filmmakers.
P.O.V. Previous Broadcasts
Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North (Episode #2101)
KQED 9: Sun, Feb 12, 2012 -- 1:30 PM
First-time filmmaker Katrina Browne makes a troubling discovery -- her New England ancestors were the largest slave-trading family in U. S. history. She and nine fellow descendants set off to retrace the Triangle Trade -- from their old hometown in Rhode Island to slave forts in Ghana to sugar plantation ruins in Cuba. Step by step, they uncover the vast extent of Northern complicity in slavery while also stumbling through the minefield of contemporary race relations. In this bicentennial year of the U.S. abolition of the slave trade, the film offers powerful new perspectives on the black/white divide.
Ella Es El Matador (She Is The Matador) (Episode #2209)
KQED World: Thu, Feb 9, 2012 -- 9:00 AM
For Spaniards - - and for the world - - nothing has expressed their country's traditionally rigid gender roles more powerfully than the image of the male matador. So sacred was the bullfighter's masculinity to Spanish identity that a 1908 law barred women from the sport. This film reveals the surprising history of the women who made such a law necessary and profiles two female matadors currently in the arena: the acclaimed Mari Paz Vega and neophyte Eva Florencia. These women are gender pioneers by necessity. But what emerges as their truest motivation is their sheer passion - - for bullfighting and the pursuit of a dream.
Bronx Princess (Episode #2212)
KQED World: Sat, Feb 4, 2012 -- 4:00 PM
Rocky Otoo is the Bronx-bred teenage daughter of Ghanaian parents, and she's no pushover. She is a sassy high-achiever bound for college. With freedom in sight, Rocky rebels against her mother's rules. When their relationship reaches a breaking point, Rocky flees to her father, a chief in Ghana. Her precocious - - and very American - - ideas of a successful, independent life conflict with her father's traditional African values. Reconciling her dual legacies becomes an unexpected chapter in this unforgettable young woman's education.

Sometimes I am really the last one to know just how far and wide my influence has spread around this world, and it really at times makes me have to "take stock" of just what this all really means.
I know many of us have had similar experiences in terms of having a musical or otherwise influence on others, and there are many variations as well as "takes" on this process. I for one, having been someone who has spread his guitar knowledge all around the world, have never really been worried that I would create "another" Arlen Roth. Of course, it depends on the learner, the one I am influencing in terms of how far this influence goes, but most of the time for me it's in the "safety" zone! There are times, however that I must admit it can get just a wee bit disturbing, especially when I feel that someone is again using my licks, sound or ideas to make substantial gains in the world of music. Then again, this dissemination of knowledge has been something I've long been committed to so I really have learned to take even the heaviest of imitators with a grain of salt. Some of the harder situations for me have been when I have privately taught someone for a long time, and then they show that they were really only in it for the licks and tricks, and then they go off and take some of the very gigs I would've loved to have had myself!
I hear my licks and influence all the time on the radio and on recordings, and I just hope that someday all these players will eventually "tip their hats" to me, and cite me as an influence. It seems to be happening certainly more and more these days, and for that I am surely grateful! The Gibson lessons have certainly helped, as well as all my books, columns and Hot Licks videos and DVDs, but the main influence I want to have is through my actual recorded and performed music. It's in these realms that any musician would most prefer to have a widespread influence, for sure, but the act of "passing on" your knowledge is also something that your fans never forget, and are eternally grateful to you for!
This is something that I hope you will strive for in your life; to be the biggest and best influence you can be over others, especially in the musical and artistic departments. Somehow, it just always seems to mean the most to others when you really "touch" them, especially in their souls!

NetWellness is a global, community service providing quality, unbiased health information from our partners. NetWellness is commercial-free and does not accept advertising.
Sunday, September 6, 2015
What is community-based participatory research (CBPR)? CBPR is an approach to studying health that includes community members from the very beginning. This means that the community and research team work together as partners in every step of the research process. For example, the community and research team work together to:
1. develop the research question (e.g. how many people in our community have diabetes?)
2. design the study (e.g. let's use a survey)
3. pull the data together (e.g. 37% of our residents have diabetes), and
4. share the results (e.g. presentation, story in a newsletter).
Typically, the research question is something that is important to and suggested by the community.
CBPR projects often include some type of action (e.g. plan to make sure residents get the supplies they need for their diabetes; policy to serve healthy foods in the schools) that will improve the health of the community. CBPR projects have been used to address many health problems (e.g. asthma, diabetes, kidney disease, etc.) and this approach has been shown to work in a lot of different types of communities.
As mentioned before, CBPR is a partnership approach to research. Partnerships may be between community members, organizations, and researchers. Because all partners participate in all steps of the research process, they also share in decision-making and ownership of the project.
Successful partnerships that have improved health sometimes involve partners with established relationships. But successful partnerships can also come from small, newer relationships (e.g. an academic faculty member may form a partnership with a local school or community health center). Other partnerships may include community service providers, faith-based organizations, policy makers, schools, community residents, public health agencies, and other community based organizations (CBOs).
CBPR benefits the communities involved, either directly or because research findings can be put into place or policies can be changed based on the research results. CBPR combines research, education, and action. This means communities not only share in selecting and designing research projects, but they also gain skills during the research process and can use the results for future health care planning.
The key difference between CBPR and traditional research is its focus on action as part of the research process. In traditional research, there is often no follow-up.
CCPH is a non-profit organization that promotes health (broadly defined) through partnerships between communities and colleges/universities. Founded in 1996, CCPH is a growing network of over 2,000 communities and campuses across North America that collaborate to promote health through service-learning, community-based participatory research, and partnerships.
Developing and Sustaining Community-Based Participatory Research Partnerships: A Skill-Building Curriculum
As interest in community-based participatory research (CBPR) grows, there is a growing need and demand for resources that help partners build the knowledge and skills they need to create and sustain effective CBPR partnerships. This evidence-based curriculum is a tool that some partnerships are using or planning to use. This tool can be used by partnerships that are just forming as well as partnerships that are well-developed.

There's no doubt solid-state lighting (SSL) technology has progressed rapidly in recent years. Most every small research group and high-tech firm focused on the development of this technology has either merged with another group or been acquired by one of the major lighting manufacturers. Many industry players are getting a sense that we've finally reached the tipping point of widespread adoption of this technology due to a convergence of market factors, such as new legislation, research funding levels, and general education. But is this form of lighting really ready to go toe-to-toe with its compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) and incandescent challengers? I believe it is, due to a number of factors.
The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, signed into law in December 2007, specifically addresses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in Subtitle E - Miscellaneous Provisions. The Act establishes "Bright Tomorrow Lighting Prizes" for LED replacement products for 60W incandescent and PAR 38 lamps. These multi-million dollar prizes may also be supported with an agreement by the federal government to purchase the new products for all applicable government facilities. LED manufacturers will be working overtime to try and capture this nice little prize.
In September 2007, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released its final Energy Star criteria for SSL luminaires intended for general illumination. The criteria apply to both residential and commercial products. As part of DOE's national strategy to accelerate market introduction of high-efficiency SSL products, the Department is leading Energy Star management, specification development, and partner relations for SSL devices used for general illumination. The effective date for these criteria is September 30 of this year, contingent on related standards and test procedure finalization. However, as promising as these above-mentioned developments are, there are still some key hurdles to overcome if SSL is to move out of its current niche market and carve out a healthy chunk of the general illumination market segment. Much of the work that remains must be done on the standards front.
As noted in this month's cover story, written by Staff Writer Beck Ireland (starting on page 26), "industry groups, standards-setting organizations, and the solid-state lighting division of the DOE's Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Building Technologies Program are moving quickly to develop needed standards and test procedures for SSL products." In addition to the DOE, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA), and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) are all currently working on the development of SSL or LED standards. This work is crucial to the success of this product line. Without these important standards, the widespread adoption of SSL technology will be doomed.
An End to the Fun
Well, Maybe Not All the Fun
In our January 2004 issue, my "Industry Viewpoint" carried the title, On the Job and Out to Lunch. In this piece, I shared an embarrassing do-it-yourself story that ended in a partial flood in my home. At the end of my column, I asked readers to send me their most embarrassing on-the-job stories. These stories launched a new inside back cover department known as "Short Circuits." Hopefully, you've enjoyed reading these job-site goofs (as submitted by your peers) over the past four-plus years as much as I have. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. The submissions well has run dry, forcing us to kill the department.
Because we still feel the last editorial page in the magazine should be reserved for something a little less technical, we've contracted with a puzzle expert to bring you an electrical-themed crossword each and every month. Enjoy!

If you thought doing yardwork was bad, try taking on a 3,000-acre forest.
If you thought doing yardwork was bad, try taking on a 3,000-acre forest.
Friends of Upton State Forest were up and at it early yesterday morning for their annual spring cleanup of the forest. More than 30 volunteers came out to help mulch, plant and pick up trash on Westborough and Southborough roads.
"Today isn't an aberration. It's year-round that the friends are out here as advocates doing hands-on work," Park Supervisor Jeff Cate said while tending to some daffodils in front of the headquarters building. "We couldn't do without the friends, because we are an unstaffed park."
Cate said the forest sees about 53,000 visitors a year, though attendance at the state's parks is rising annually. People use the forest and trails for everything from hiking to hunting, he said.
Joan Shanahan, who heads the friends group, planted some pansies at the cleanup. She said she was happy to see so many people volunteering their time and energy.
"It's a beautiful day. Every year we get Scouts who come help us clean up, and it's great," Shanahan said. "It's good for them, and it's good for the state park."
More than a dozen Boy Scouts from Upton Troop 132 joined in on the beautification efforts. The Scouts removed brush and trash, and trimmed the bushes.
Scouts Connor Shults, David Ferreira and Jason Bates filled a wheelbarrow with tree limbs and twigs, pausing only for a quick snack. Ferreira, 11, said he decided to join in on the work because he enjoys the park.
"I'm going to be coming here again to hike, and people come here for a lot of reasons," he said. "I don't want them to be deterred from coming here because it doesn't look nice."
The troop's committee chairwoman Jen Shults said this was the third year the troop joined the cleanup. Some of the Scouts participated to earn their merit badge for citizenship in the community, she said, while others just wanted to lend a hand.
Friends member Ellen Arnold said she thinks those who use the trails respect the forest, but litter is still a problem on the main roads.
"If you were out with the trash crew, you many wonder what a future archaeologist would think of our society," she said.

Nintendo won't be holding a typical press conference at this year's E3, but the company has scheduled a number of different events for the show.

Pokemon Snap 2
A Pokemon FPS
A new Pokemon Stadium-like game
Pokemon X/Y details
Pokemon X/Y anime details
Something unexpected

People think Nintendo is out of the next gen race when they haven't even scratched the surface on what they are gonna offer with the WiiU.

* - SOUTH CAROLINA: The Gamecocks have won five straight games, dating back to last season. It ties for the seventh longest streak in school history. It is the longest win streak since putting together a six-game streak at the end of the 2006 season and the start of the 2007 season.

The two teams have played twice previously with the Gators winning, 42-6 in Gainesville in 1962 and the Aggies taking a 37-14 Sun Bowl win on Jan. 2, 1977. The Aggies have opened their season five previous times against SEC foes (all LSU), winning all five times. The most recent game was in 1995, with A&M winning, 33-17. Kevin Sumlin will also be making his A&M coaching debut against the Gators. A&M head coaches have compiled a 17-9-1 record in their debut games with the Aggies.

Amos, a 12 year old miniature horse, has a great talent and loves basketball just like me! ~Declan
Basketball-playing horse comes to South Florida
Amos the Wonder Horse, Harlem Globetrotter visits students at Palmetto Elementary School

PINECREST, Fla. - A Harlem Globetrotters star visited a South Florida elementary school with a basketball-playing miniature horse.
Kevin "Special K" Daley visited Palmetto Elementary School as a reward for it being named a designated "No Place for Hate" school.
"We were excited to hear that we were selected for this because we don't do these things for recognition," said Julie Astuto, a guidance counselor at the school. "We do it because we are trying to teach the kids to be respectful.
Amos the 12-year-old basketball playing miniature horse also made an appearance. His coach harnessed his love for the game despite his diminutive stature.
"He does other things, too," said Shelly Mizrahi, Amos' coach. "He plays a puzzle. He does bean bag toss, and he paints a little in his spare time."
"Amos is amazing," said Daley. "One thing I am not going to do with Amos is play horse against him. The game was named after him. There is no way I am going to play against him."
"He has his own Facebook account: Amos the Wonder Horse," added Mizrahi.
Amos can dunk and has a repertoire of post moves, including a Kareem-like sky hook. Local 10's Todd Tongen played Amos one-on-one, and remarked he could drive like LeBron James.
"He is smooth. He is like the Paul Pierce kind of just smooth but gets it done," said Daley.
