In several industry conversations over the past few months, there's been debate about whether we should take a "staged" retrofit approach. I've got my thoughts
There is no doubt that an all-at-once approach allows the biggest results at a lower cost. It's often most cost-effective to do several things at the same time, or in particular orders. Yes, reducing the load makes more sense before replacing the air-conditioner rather than after. And if we're really thinking comprehensively, we get to "tunnel through the cost barrier" as Amory Lovins puts in, reducing the load enough to start dropping tonnage, eliminate sytems, and simplifying mechanical solutions, and avoiding some costs altogether.
But in today's world a couple steps at a time is the way most homeowners will tackle efficiency improvements in their homes. And at the end of the day, homeowners decide.

It all comes down to money, does it not?
I would argue that ALL projects are "staged", unless it is a NetZero project. There will always be room for improvement. Let's look at projects as degrees of comprehensiveness.
On a scale of 1-10, with 1 representing a little air sealing and weatherstripping and a 10 representing a very comprehensive job heading to Net Zero, I typically look for about a 4-7 in a project. Sometimes it ends up being a #3, and we are currently working on a #9 project.
I have a very hard time justifying a project in the 1-3 range because there are usually non-energy saving measures that must be addressed as part of the project. When the budget is very limited, the thermal savings are very limited and the client does not see any notable result from the project. Non-energy saving measures include: controlling high moisture in basement; no ventilation, with visible consequences (eg.- peeling paint in bathroom), very poorly installed heating systems; structural issues (such as from improper "remuddling" or rot) and unsafe electricals.
My first job after getting BPI certified in 2006 was to do just air sealing/weatherstripping in an 1800s cape with additions and stone foundation. I sealed some huge holes in the main attic and foundation, weatherstripped (and insulated) the bulkhead door and spray foamed the rubble foundation under a small (but very cold) addition. The final blower door number was almost the same as the initial (and very high) number. The client did not perceive much improvement or any decrease in heating costs. What I did was not a waste and had to be done, but the client did not see much value to my work. I could not address their primary complaint of cold walls because the walls were drafty and dense-packing them was not in the budget.
Our first job using cellulose was another 1800s cape with stone foundation. No insulation in 3rd floor walk-up attic. Due to budget constraints, we did not address high moisture in the basement, which had not been a problem in the past, and did not insulate exterior walls (only 2 1/2" deep). [all of the windows had been replaced several years prior to our work] We did install a bath fan (2nd floor), but did not install a range hood fan. We fixed some basement windows and spray foamed the sills.We dense-packed the attic floor and bagged and blew the tops of the exterior walls to air seal them. A few years later I followed up and learned that they still had not been able to remodel their kitchen, and thus vent the range hood, but between moisture from the basement and moisture from cooking, they were seeing lots and lots of condensation. I have seen other contractors in that situation installing a dehumidifier as part of their work scope.
We just completed a job where we recommended replacing the 20+ year old propane furnace and water heater. Both had standing pilots and both were not properly vented and both showed signs of backdrafting (although they passed the CAZ testing). The client agreed to have them replaced with sealed combustion units, but they would hire the contractor and we could test out later (we are still waiting). There is no ductwork to the 2nd floor, which uses electric baseboard heat, and the existing ductwork was very poorly balanced. The client opted to not run the ductwork to the second floor at this time. This meant that when we air sealed and improved the fiberglass in the kneewalls, that we could not top off with loose cellulose and we had to create access panels for future access for installing ductwork through the kneewalls from below. So because it was a staged project, we had to do extra work and we could not do as good a job as we could have.
I have lots more stories to argue for more comprehensive projects. In addition, if we encourage projects in the #1-3 range, is the average energy savings going to provide much of an impact on global warming? I don't think so. Smaller stages are OK if the stages are unlikely to cause other problems and the client can see a notable difference in comfort and/or fuel bills. In my opinion, educating the public is very important. When I quit smoking 22 years ago, it was a huge emotional investment for me. The government campaign to educate the public about the dangers of smoking took a long time to get me to act, and it was the birth of my first child and Nicorette that was my impetus. Now I think about how healthy I have become since then, and not only the money I saved by not buying tobacco, but the money I saved by not burning my clothes with dropped ashes, with not missing work because of sickness and with not being productive when I step outside for a smoke. I think back to how many times I "quit". The first few times I lasted a couple of days, but did not see any results except for more anxiety. When I was able to go for more than a week, i started to see some results. When I finally quit for good, I saw bigger and better results as time went on. Look how long it has taken to get down to 15% of the population still smoking. It is going to be a long road for energy efficiency as well. The bigger the steps each time, the quicker we will bring the earth back away from the effects of global warming, and the quicker we will improve our economy with fewer dollars going to Big Oil.
And that's the way I see it.
It all comes down to pain. What problems do they want to solve, and how much are they willing or able to spend? Have you done a good job helping them understand their problems and helped them arrive at a comfortable budget for addressing those problems? If so, you have a place to design to.
If they don't give you enough to take a serious whack, they have high likelihood of the dreaded "no noticeable result". On the other side you reach the point where more money doesn't equal incrementally more results. There does seem to be a sweet spot for each situation where incremental investment nets geometric results, and hopefully you can take people to that general location.
Nate Adams has a nice explanation of this place on his brochure:
Comprehensive Home Performance means systems design thinking. Solutions design is NOT prescriptive, and rarely single measure. BPI gets this, but I think they've done a poor job conveying it to all participants. Seems many state programs don't seem to get it...
Griffin, thank you. You said that in way fewer words than I have. There are 2 paths, and we need to be sure consumers don't think true home performance is insulation or HVAC contracting. I've tried the uglier path, and I have the emotional scars to prove it, just read my blog.
Griffin, I'm with you 100% on "thoughtful, design-based solutions" 100%. I'd offer a friendly amendment incorporating both "do no harm" and "based on sound science".
I'm curious how you define "comprehensive", and where you draw the line between that and "not comprehensive". Is the comprehensiveness in the consideration or in the contracted and installed measures?
Jeez, Griffin, really well said again.
I've just headed down the comprehensive path in the last 6 months or so, and I try to keep Einstein's words in mind that if he had an hour to save the world he would spend 55 minutes defining the problem and 5 minutes on the solution.
I used to be guilty of immediately prescribing aspirin when a client told me they had a headache, rather than asking questions to figure out maybe they needed to drink water or that they had a migraine. If we don't dig and spend time understanding the problem, our solutions will suck, just like always prescribing aspirin.
Unfortunately, I just don't know that we can do that in one call, it takes 2-3 to get that much out of people. But then we really serve them rather than throwing a bottle of aspirin their way.
What is your process? How do you fit into the HP puzzle? I used to be an insulation contractor, I'm now a consultant putting plans together (with an integral audit) and then helping them get implemented correctly.
Thanks for the kind words, Nate. I've been browsing your site and I have to say I really appreciate your approach to conveying what home performance is (and isn't). Not to mention you manage to present it attractively. I feel that too often you get one or the other -- technical gurus who can't sell, or slick marketing with no substance.
I'm going to have to borrow that Einstein quote, too.
Human nature is to seek convenient solutions based on what we know. I know I've been guilty of that before and still am from time to time. Home performance often seems to me as much about unlearning old habits as it is learning new skills. You're absolutely right about the need to dig in and spend time understanding the problem. If we do what we've always done, we'll get what we've always got.
Sounds like you've found an excellent niche for your experience. I've been involved in HP from just about every angle apart from independently contracting - low-income weatherization, small nonprofit, a major contractor, and now a utility program. Couldn't ask for more fulfilling problems to solve, that's for sure.
Yes, at the end of the day the the homeowners decide and it's the mindset of the homeowner that drives the decision.
As a homeowner I've made 2 different decisions (staged and comprehensive) during the same time period for 2 different properties. On the comprehensive side my husband and I were looking to fulfill a vision/dream of having an ultra energy efficient house. So we took a 90-year-old bungalow with good bones and kept the foundation, framing, floors, and the roof. Everything else showed signs of deferred maintenance and was ripe for a gut remodel. We went with the passive house approach and our contractor managed to hit 0.59 ACH on the final blower door test. Pretty darn impressive for a retrofit and we were jazzed about it. Our home in Santa Cruz, CA is technically heated by gas as a backup to solar thermal. For the last few months our gas usage (Dec, Jan, and Feb) ranged 9~12 therms per month, which is about 80% lower than similar homes in the neighborhood.
At the same time (while the bungalow was designed and constructed) we made small improvements to the condo we were living in for the past 10+ years. We've already replaced the single pane windows with double pane windows a while ago so we decided to replace the water heater with a slightly more efficient one as we prepared the condo for rental. Sure, with the condo we were limited with what we could do, but we just couldn't get ourselves to replace the gas wall furnace with a mini split. So we simply had the gas wall furnace cleaned and the flaky thermostat replaced.
It's the same homeowner who believes in energy efficiency making 2 different decisions. Curious, isn't?
Chie, that is interesting. The fact that you went so far with your residence vs. a rental is a wonderful example of incentive.
On a rental property where you don't pay the utilities, you have very little incentive to make large EE improvements. If you bumped the rent and included utilities, you would then have incentive to fix the place, and from the experience of Dave Robinson and Larry Weingarten, you would get better tenants who have already been through the cheap rent, high utilities mill.
Do you think that jives? I've seen the phenomenon before, but not with anyone who went Passive House. Also, out of curiosity, why did you choose to upgrade the windows rather than the furnace? (That's an open and honest question, BTW.) Thanks for responding!
Nate, the windows were replaced in the condo about 10 years ago while we were living there. About that time my husband got motivated to change the windows because his brother noticed improvement in his house after replacing the windows. The motivation was half energy efficiency and half sound attenuation.
The wall furnace exploration came about around 4 years ago because we've experienced a thermostat problem where the furnace wasn't turning on all. We've considered replacing it and had some energy efficiency folks come over to give us a quote for a mini split. In the end we decided not to go with the mini split because we figured out that the wall furnace on the first floor also warmed the bedrooms on the 2nd floor through conduction via the flue so it was heating the space effectively. Also, switching the fuel source from gas (wall furnace) to electric (heat pump mini split) didn't seem to have a favorable reduction in source energy. We didn't do any calculations to verify the gut check.
As for charging higher rent and including utilities in the rent as a way to incentivize EE on rental property, well, it feels lukewarm to me. Why? It cuts off the feedback cycle to the occupants on their behavior. Not receiving energy bill could cause occupants to have lots of plug loads that are left on all the time. When we lived in the condo we had low energy usage. You can read about it here: http://midorihaus.blogspot.com/2013/08/energy-usage-first-8-months....
By the way, I do enjoy listening to Larry Weingarten's weekly radio program. :-)

with all of mommal's sage words. If you can hand express just enough to cover what your baby needs while at work, it would be best for your oversupply. If you need to pump, I would still only pump just enough to cover bottles for the next day. For the plugs, you can firmly massage your breasts when you have a minute here and there throughout the day, and hand express just enough to get comfortable. Hand expression never worked well for me, but when my OS was at it's worst I could just lean over the sink, give my breasts a squeeze, and milk would shoot out. A brief massage followed by hand expression or giving a quick squeeze over the sink doesn't require set up or clean up so it's quick and can be done whenever you use the washroom or just have a minute in between patients/projects/whatever and will help prevent plugs as well as ease the discomfort.
You can also put cabbage leaves in your bra to help with the engorgement. I used cold compresses, which were wonderful relief, but that would be much more difficult at work.
Do you do anything for your baby's gas throughout the day? I had significant OS but really insane OALD, and while my baby spewed huge amounts of spit up it was the gas that actually bothered him. I had to give him a tummy massage and bicycle his legs between every single feeding, then give him a warm bath followed by more leg bicycling every evening. Sometimes he needed a couple of baths on his really bad days. This really helped him get more comfortable and resulted in much less screaming in the evenings for us.
I'm sorry that you are struggling. It does get better, but it sometimes takes awhile. My supply didn't fully regulate until 6-7 months, but things did start improving a lot before that. Just stick with the blocks that work best for you and your daughter, nurse frequently while you are together, and express as little as possible otherwise.

"Who is this dude without a last name?"
Tynan has been a friend for years with a very interesting story... but I never knew all the details.
Fortunately, I got him delirious on green tea to get him to share his wild life so far. A few of the highlights:
Hell, he even bought an entire ISLAND with nine of his friends.
With so many crazy experiences, it's no wonder Stan Lee — the creator of Iron Man, Spider-Man, Thor, and more — gave Tynan his own superhero name:"Quintessential Man."
To learn more about Tynan, and his tips on living your own interesting life, I flew to Las Vegas and talked to him on my podcast. During our conversation we discuss:
Are you living the life you think you live?
Or are you living the life which makes you EXCITED to wake up? Aka the life you to live?
You only get one shot at life. Don't waste your time copying someone else because you think it'll make you happy.
With a career as a professional gambler, pickup artist, bestselling author, and entrepreneur, I was inspired hearing from Tynan. He strays off the conventional path to try new things.
When you try new things, you learn what works for you (and what makes you happy).
Tynan's philosophy reminds me of Tim Ferriss' approach to experimentation . He's always trying to learn new life hacks, productivity habits, and unconventional health tricks (which lead to him discovering the Slow-Carb diet, for example).
If Tim or Tynan followed the rules and paths set out by everyone else they never would have had the same level of success.
This is especially true of business.
To build a successful business, don't blindly copy what's already out there. You have to build an advantage over your competitors:
It's crazy how many competitors and copycats pop up once a new product has become successful. Truth is, the world doesn't need 100 Twitter bots that all offer the same functionality.
Take a look at
Slim Fit Logo Polo Shirt in Navy 404 BOSS Buy Online Authentic Cheap Sale New Styles Authentic For Sale Purchase Cheap Price yMpWE0R
, search for a product sector,and you'll find 99% of products with basicallythe same features and capabilities.
A copycat approach usually leads to either minimal success or complete failure.
To stand out, don't blindly follow others .
In life, I believe there's a trifecta of things which affect our overall happiness:
I've found the more I align my life with what I really want from these three pillars, the more satisfied and happier I feel.
For me this means:
There's no rewind in life — you don't get the time you waste back. Focus on doing more things you enjoy with people you learn from .
The idea of making the most of your time isn't something new, but most people don't truly own their time.
I've heard from THOUSANDS of readers who dream of about starting a business and being their own boss. But very few of my readers actually start their business.
Most people dream aboutbeing entrepreneurs… then freak themselves out by saying "I could never do that!" or "now's not the time."
Three years later, these people are still wasting away in an office they hate.
Stop wasting time doing something you hate . Think about what matters to you most in life and try to spend more time there.
Change can be daunting. But one thing people often forget is that change doesn't have to be permanent.
For example: Choosing to go vegan forever is a huge decision.
But, choosing to eat vegan for a month to see what it's like is a much simpler choice to make. If it doesn't work out, no big deal. You can always go back to your normal eating.
Recently, I've been experimenting with changes to my lifestyle — including a new car and a new apartment. I call it my " Test Shit Out Strategy ."
Here's a recent example of the "Test Shit Out" strategy in action from my own life:
Another experiment I've been trying recently is being less committed about plans I'm on the fence about.
In other words, in the past if someone asked me to hang out next week I'd usually say "yes."
But now, I'll think about it, and if I'm not sure I'll be honest: "I'm not sure right now, but how about you text me a day before and I can let you know?"
This gives me more spontaneity in life, and allows me to try a bunch of different things without committing. The lesson here is to approach change openly. Just because you want to try something doesn't mean you have to do it forever.
Break down potentially large changes into smaller chunks that give you chance to see how it affects your life. For example:

McLean Langley linebacker Philip Novacki recovered a McLean fumble in the second quarter and headed toward the end zone.
The 6-foot-3, 220-pound senior plowed through multiple would-be tacklers, who tried in vain to wrestle him to the turf. The Highlanders even grabbed Novacki's facemask, which resulted in a penalty, but they couldn't keep the sturdy Saxon from crossing the goal line.
However, Novacki's struggle for six went for naught as officials ruled he stepped out of bounds during the return --- a call with which the Saxon sideline strongly disagreed.
"I scored on that," Novacki said after the game.
Three plays later, Novacki scored a touchdown that counted. With the ball at the 1-yard line, Novacki, who moved from receiver to quarterback, took a shotgun snap and smashed his way into the end zone.
Novacki and the Saxons would continue their physical play as Langley closed the regular season by pounding its Liberty District rival.
Langley defeated McLean, 27-7, on Nov. 3 at Langley High School. The Saxons rushed for 226 yards and extended their winning streak to three games heading into the playoffs.
"We're on a good roll. We've ended the season well and I think we can do some good things in the playoffs."
--- Langley quarterback Nick Casso
Novacki was a difference-maker on both sides of the ball. His fumble recovery helped the Langley defense hold its third opponent this season to fewer than 10 points. On offense, he carried four times for 11 yards and a touchdown, had two receptions for 63 yards and completed a pass for a two-point conversion.
"We just want to be the most physical team," Novacki said, "and just pound it down."
MCLEAN, which needed a victory to reach the postseason, managed just 131 yards of offense and turned the ball over three times. The Highlanders finished the year with a 4-6 record.
"[Langley is] a good team," McLean Head Coach Dennis Worek said. "We played as hard as we could."
On defense, the Highlanders focused their efforts on stopping Langley running back Philip Mun, who has been a force in the Saxons' read-option spread offense. Mun carried 19 times for 82 yards and two touchdowns against McLean. While the Highlanders kept Mun in check from a yardage standpoint, Langley quarterback Nick Casso made McLean pay for its defensive strategy.
Casso carried 19 times for a career-high 125 yards and a touchdown. He also completed 4 of 9 passes for 79 yards.
"He did a great job running the ball and that was the difference-maker," Langley Head Coach John Howerton said. "[McLean] did do a nice job slowing Mun down and jamming the box up there and playing man. … Nick was the difference today. I think [the Highlanders] said we're going to make the quarterback beat us either throwing or running and he did."
Casso got off to a strong start, breaking off a 53-yard run on Langley's first play from scrimmage.
"Going in," Casso said, "we were just going to work with what the defense gave to us and see if they keyed on Mun."
The Highlanders did, and Casso made them pay. The junior signal caller scored on an 8-yard run with 2:40 remaining in the fourth quarter, putting the finishing touches on the Langley victory.
"I put it on my shoulders," Casso said, "to try and take some stress off [Mun] in the running game."
On defense, senior lineman Kyle West recovered a fumble for Langley and senior defensive back Aaron Yi intercepted a pass. McLean's seven points marked the second-lowest point total allowed by the Saxons this season.
"We played inspired," Novacki said of the Langley defense. "The whole year we've been told we've been a good defense, but I feel like today we finally stepped up and showed we're a great defense."
LANGLEY started 3-1 this season before experiencing a three-game losing streak. The Saxons lost to Chantilly, a Division 6 playoff team, by one point, Madison, the No. 3 seed in D5, by three points and Yorktown, the No. 2 seed in D5, by 10 points. Langley's most lopsided loss was a 27-6 defeat against Stone Bridge, the No. 1 seed in D5. The Saxons closed the regular season with victories against South Lakes, Fairfax and McLean to finish 6-4.
"I really think this is the best team I've had as a whole [in the 10 years] I've been here," Howerton said. "… We could very easily have been 9-1."
Langley is the No. 5 seed in the Division 5 Northern Region playoffs and will travel to face No. 4 Hayfield at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 9. Hayfield finished the season 7-3 and was runner-up to Yorktown in the National District.
"We're on a good roll," Casso said. "We've ended the season well and I think we can do some good things in the playoffs."

Man hurt at Exeter filling station while putting air in his tires
EXETER — A man was taken to the hospital Thursday afternoon after he was injured by a car while putting air in a tire at the Sunoco station on Portsmouth Avenue, police said.
The accident occurred around 3:30 p.m. when a 16-year-old female driver finished pumping gas, pulled away from the pumps in her car, and struck the rear of another car where a man was filling his tire with air, Police Sgt. Jake Dewire said.
The car was parked perpendicular to the teenager's and was located about 15 feet away, Dewire said.
The force of the collision caused the man to be thrown about 8 feet away from his car, Dewire said.
The teenager told police that she didn't see the car because the sun was in her eyes, Dewire said.
No charges have been filed.
The man, whose name wasn't available, was transported to Exeter Hospital but his injuries were not believed to be serious.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Chablis44 from Not quite When I saw this online, I knew I had to have it. Stripes-my most favorite pattern right now. Hourglass out of stripes- perfect! But... When I got the dress and tried it on, I felt like it wasn't making the hourglass pop. I ordered an xs.. I'm 5'3 and 126 lbs (fit) and 36C. The top didn't hold my bosom up how I had thought it would, and the bottom just kind hung everywhere but in the stomach area. It didn't get me the fit that I wanted. :-( The pattern would have worked, but I just didn't get the look that I thought it would give. I would still would recommend BeBe.. Just not this dress.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nikki42 from Love it i would totally recommend this dress. Very classy . I got sooooo many complements when I wore it last week..
Date published: 2013-04-30
Rated 3 out of 5 by TinyFashionista from Disappointment Had high hopes for this dress in an XXS, as i do with all of my bebe purchases, perhaps that was the issue. I had hoped the horizontal stripes would make my petite 110 4'11" frame appear wide and the black hourglass outline would give me beautiful hips, but no i look better without it on. The black outline(not stripes) made my waist appear large and it brought out the indent on my hips. Other reviewers were right about the bust being large but thats an easy fix. REALLY wanted to love this dress but unless you have phenomenal hips a tailor cant even save it. Will have to return it this week =(

Rated 5 out of 5 by 5ive12welveK from Love it! I LOVE this dress!?! I am 6 ft tall, around 165 lbs and I bought the M. It fits me like a glove. The fit (for me) was more a mermaid type dress...fitted up to my thighs then hung like a maxi dress. I was worried about it not being long enough, but it actually covered my feet. YAY!! I wore it this weekend to a party, and received many compliments. Thank you Bebe!

Agriculture and Health Policies in Conflict: How Subsidies Tax our Health: Conclusion and References
Current programs that subsidize feed grains or provide direct subsidies and other supports for meat or dairy production are at odds with federal health recommendations. From a public health perspective, altering federal agricultural policies is a key part of addressing the epidemics of obesity and poor health among Americans.

Virtually no one objected to developer Kevin Huber's plans for a new truck stop.
Virtually no one objected to developer Kevin Huber's plans for a new truck stop.
Not the environmental groups. Not the air quality cops. Not the county bureaucrats.
Indeed, since the project was formally pitched nearly three years ago at Flag City west of Lodi, there has been only one objection on record: that of the rival truck stop across the street.
Pilot Flying J fought the plan and delayed it - also delaying the 40 jobs the new Love's truck stop is supposed to provide, the $400,000-plus per year in tax revenue and the extra space for big rigs that clog the streets around the existing facility.
Perhaps most telling, however, is that Pilot based its challenge upon the state's foremost environmental law, less than five years after Pilot CEO Jimmy Haslam complained publicly of California's "extreme" regulations to protect the environment.
"It's unbelievable," Huber said last week.
Overhauling the California Environmental Quality Act is a hot topic in Sacramento this year, and the Flying J case might be one example why.
"Unfortunately, CEQA has been abused by people who really don't care about the environment," Huber said. "I think when a competitor uses the CEQA sword as a means to delay competition, that is an abuse of the legislation."
Gov. Jerry Brown has indicated his desire for change, last year referring to CEQA reform as "the Lord's work." Legislation is expected this year.
Coalitions have mobilized on both sides of the debate. The developers argue the law is misused and manipulated by sometimes shadowy interest groups and unions, bogging down projects in costly litigation; environmentalists say these fears are overstated, that the law is the only way for citizens to challenge potentially damaging projects and preserve their quality of life.
All this discussion comes at a time when the state is considering a massive infrastructure project in the Delta - twin tunnels to send water to southland farms and cities. Some Delta advocates fear weakening CEQA will pave the way for that plan.
"I'll be honest: CEQA will be one of the tools to prevent the utter destruction of this estuary," said Stockton environmentalist Bill Jennings.
This city is no stranger to CEQA battles.
A fight over its growth-inducing general plan resulted in a 2008 settlement agreement among the city, the Sierra Club and then-Attorney General Jerry Brown. New policies attempt to reduce the city's climate footprint and curb urban sprawl.
It wouldn't have happened without CEQA, said Rachel Hooper, a San Francisco-based land use attorney who represented the Sierra Club in its challenge.
"There is no other law that could have made this difference," Hooper said. "CEQA absolutely saved the day for this monumental project for the city of Stockton. And that's why those of us who work with CEQA are so intent upon preserving it. We see the difference it can make."
It took a CEQA challenge to upend the privatization of the city waterworks. Hooper was involved in that case too.
And a challenge under the same law led to the creation of a farmland preservation program that requires developers, before they pave over the fields, to pay a fee toward saving open land elsewhere.
"That's been a huge success that never would have occurred without CEQA lawsuits," said Eric Parfrey, a Sierra Club activist from Stockton, and a planner himself.
"There are always these individual horror stories people can dredge up" about the law being abused, Parfrey said. "But considering how many CEQA documents are written - thousands each year - out of all those thousands less than 1 percent are challenged in court."
But attorneys remember well that 1 percent.
Four years ago Stockton attorney Howard Seligman defended a group that wanted to build a mosque in Morada. Residents sued to block it under CEQA, citing concerns about fire safety, traffic, groundwater and soil, though documents at the time also suggested cultural concerns.
The case ended with a settlement. Much like Huber's truck stop, the end result was that the project was allowed to move forward with essentially the same conditions that had originally been imposed.
"You spend all that money, and the bottom line is, in that particular case, the ultimate disposition was a reaffirmation of what the board had already approved," Seligman said last week.
Some have suggested courts be authorized to require plaintiffs to post bond at the beginning of the proceedings to cover the defendants' attorney fees, if the case turns out to be frivolous. Another solution, they say, would restrict whether CEQA lawsuits can be filed if they satisfy the law in the eyes of approving agencies.
In the truck stop case, Pilot denies that its interest in blocking the project is purely to avoid competition.
"We want to make sure that the cities, counties and state government of California are not setting aside health and safety issues because they are in a fiscal crunch and are trying to create tax revenue as quickly as possible," Bill Mulligan, Pilot's vice president, said in a prepared statement.
Pilot has said it's concerned about air quality and traffic.
But supervisors denied Pilot's latest appeal last Tuesday. And ultimately, despite the extra time and money spent on additional environmental review, the project is essentially the same today as when it was proposed in 2010, Huber said.
And the struggle may continue.
Huber said Pilot could still sue to challenge last week's decision.

Educational program targets grade schoolers
Managed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the computer science-science, technology, engineering and mathematics (CS-STEM) program's goal is to expand the talent pool of applicants available for jobs to support secure DOD networks and to accelerate computer science innovation.
The interest in increasing the number of CS graduates has national security implications, DARPA officials said. According to the agency, since 2002, the number of U.S. college graduates with computer science or related degrees has dropped by 58.5 percent. To reverse these numbers, CS-STEM will focus on creating interesting activities and opportunities for middle and high school students that will increase in complexity as they progress through their education.
CS-STEM is built around three components: a distributed online community, an online robotics academy, and an extracurricular online community for students. The first section, known as "Teach Ourselves," developed by the University of Arizona, will be a distributed online community of students and teachers. This environment is intended to introduce students to the knowledge economy, which is a matrix where students can track their progress through a variety of subjects.
The second component is the Fostering Innovation through Robotics Exploration, (FIRE) online robotics academy. Developed by Carnegie Mellon University, it will allow students to sharpen their skills at solving complex problems by educating them with algorithmic thinking skills, engineering processes, math, and programming knowledge. DARPA officials said FIRE is intended to significantly improve the educational value of robotics competitions by developing online cognitive tutors and simulation tools designed to use robots and programming to teach major mathematics concepts.
The final part of CS-STEM is an extracurricular online community for middle and high school students. It will use ongoing, age-appropriate practice, activities and competitions, educational content, discussion boards, mentoring and role models to develop skills and foster interest in CS-STEM careers. Collaborative activities, puzzles, games, webisodes, workshops and other content will be used to attract students to the site on a daily basis.

CS-STEM sounds like an excellent option for students. Where can you find out more about the program? How do you refer a potential student?
I *love* being a software engineer.
If your goal in life is making money, get a degree in business. But not everyone is motivated by money alone.
The the Atomic and Space Ages encouraged people to be scientists. The Information Age encouraged people to get into computers. Sadly the current Zeitgeist appears have us too focused on money.
Hopefully DARPA (along with NASA and some private companies) can help encourage a Robotic Age.
There is a reason no one is choosing these careers. when is the last time you here of an engineer getting a 3 million dollar bonus for this years work? NEVER. its the people in the business and financial jobs making huge sums of money and being rewarded for being corrupt. 14 million wont cut it. Engineers, like myself are considered no more than endentured servants, and not the true professionals that we are.
The amount listed here ($14.2M) is nothing compared to the $200M plus MicroSoft sends to India each year for grant money. Also, many of the CS jobs are sent to India where labor is cheap. Like Don said, the amount of money earned in a CS job in the US relative to the cost of living and relative to the work effort is not what it used to be. These are factors that drive people to select a career.
DARPA influencing young peoples minds is perhaps to some a slippery slope given that it was DARPA that manufactured and engineered many of the electronic voting machines currently or previously in use. None the less DARPA has also been insturmental in many technoligical advances that have greatly benifitted my fellow Americans for many years.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Jordan Rodgers threw for 217 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a score to lead Vanderbilt to a 49-7 victory over Massachusetts on Saturday night.
Sluggish most of the first half, the Commodores (4-4) broke open a seven-point game with two late first-half touchdowns in 55 seconds. They added four touchdowns in the third quarter to claim successive wins for the first time since starting 3-0 last year.
Along with an interception return for a score by Trey Wilson, Jonathan Krause returned a punt 40 yards to the end zone. It marked the first time a Vanderbilt punt return went the distance since 1999.
Massachusetts (0-8) remains winless in its first year in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
Vanderbilt running back Zac Stacy, the school's all-time rushing leader, exited five minutes into the game with an injury. He later returned to the sideline wearing a splint on his right ankle.

I have seen a lot of Java guys struggling with accessing a file and playing the data in it. File input output operations are obviously slow as compared to "in memory" operations but then you have persistent data which is of good use. Someone can argue that databases should be used for input and output but then its a separate debate. Just to keep it short, I would say that sometimes it is better to use text files for input and out.

Roast of Sean McDowell - 3/13/09
Roast was on the menu and The Grand Ballroom at the Omni William Penn Hotel got hot at the Jim Krenn and Friends Celebrity Roast of WDVE-FM DJ Sean McDowell. The evening warmed up with a VIP reception and entertainment by rocker Anthony Rankin, followed by a three-course dinner. The temperature rose even more as last year's roastee, WDVE-FM's Jim Krenn, WTAE-TV's Sally Wiggin, WXDX-FM's Mark Madden, and McDowell's co-worker, Michele Michaels, took to the microphone to take their shots at McDowell. A silent auction and performance by rock group Tres Lads rounded out the evening.

Showdown over Obamacare as Congress takes actionFrom Staff and Wire
September 19. 2013 9:15PM
WASHINGTON — Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday plowed ahead with a bill to gut President Barack Obama's health care law while temporarily funding other government programs, ignoring a warning from the White House that the measure would be vetoed.
The bill, which would keep the government running through Dec. 15 and avert shutdowns with the start of the new fiscal year on Oct. 1, faced its first test vote in the House on Thursday with passage of the measure expected today.
"We'll deliver a big victory in the House tomorrow," a confident House Speaker John Boehner told reporters on Thursday.
The administration wasted no time in formally announcing that it would not allow House Republicans to destroy the "Obamacare" health care law by denying funds.
In a terse statement, the White House said the House bill would be vetoed "because it advances a narrow ideological agenda that threatens our economy and the interests of the middle class." The statement went on to say that "millions of hard-working middle class families" would be denied affordable health coverage.
New Hampshire's two U.S. House members both Democrats, opposed the Republican move.
U.S. Rep. Ann Kuster said, "Instead of refighting old political battles, both parties need to work toward a serious compromise that will responsibly reduce the deficit, protect the middle class, and keep our government running.
"With less than two weeks to go until a possible government shutdown, we don't have time for more political games," Kuster said.
U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter said: "Democrats and moderate Republicans are standing by as Tea Party extremists threaten to shut down the government unless Congress defunds the Affordable Care Act. This is a law that was passed by Congress, signed by the President, and upheld by the Supreme Court.
"Forcing the government to shut down over ideological battles would mean that veterans' benefits could be delayed or reduced, active duty military personnel might not be paid on time, and our economy would suffer a severe blow."
Shea-Porter called it "an irresponsible political crusade. It's time for extremists in Washington to stop holding Congress and the American people hostage."
Republican U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte said she supports the repeal of Obamacare but not at the risk of shutting down the government.
"We have to remember that right now we only have one-third of the government as Republicans," she told CNN. "So I think right now we have to make every effort we can to make sure we can stop this law, but I don't think we should shut down the government to do so, and I don't think that's a strategy that is good for America."
Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen spokesman Shripal Shah said she "hopes both sides can come to an agreement to keep the government functioning. She doesn't think partisan brinkmanship is at all constructive considering the challenges facing our country right now."
Two announced Republican candidates for seats in Congress took different views of the Boehner proposal.
Former state Sen. Jim Rubens, an announced candidate for the U.S. Senate seat held by Shaheen, said on Wednesday that while Obamacare has added to the nation's woes, Republicans "should not ask to repeal Obamacare without offering a better plan that will lower health care costs, improve health care quality and give us more control and choice in our own health care decisions.
He said that if he were in the Senate, he would try to build consensus on how to "repeal and replace" Obamacare, rather than voting to shut down the government if the health care program is not de-funded.
Republican former state Sen. Gary Lambert, an announced candidate for the 2nd District U.S. House seat held by Kuster, said he supported the House Republican plan.
"I want to fund the government to make sure the military personnel get paid and to make sure retirees get their Social Security checks," Lambert said. "I'm also in favor of defunding Obamacare."
This is the latest round in a series of battles Obama faces with Congress over the next few months in what has become an unending standoff over running Washington's most basic operations, from the FBI and national parks to education and military programs.
And the Dec. 15 cut-off date for the funding measure guarantees yet another struggle around Christmas time.
Besides the spending bill, Congress and the White House have to either agree in October or early November on a measure to increase U.S. borrowing authority or plunge the nation into a first-ever credit default.
In 2011, as Republicans and Democrats fought over these same two issues, U.S. financial markets swooned because of all the uncertainty created by Washington's inability to work together.
Between July 7 and Aug. 9 of that year, the Dow Jones Industrial Average blue-chip stocks plummeted 2,150 points, or 16.9 percent.
'Stealth debt limit' hike
The Republican bill is expected to attract no Democratic support and even some conservative opposition.
For example, Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky told Reuters that he planned to vote against the measure because "it's a stealth debt limit increase."
Massie was referring to a provision of the bill that would instruct the Treasury Department to pay bondholders and Social Security retirement benefits even if Congress fails to increase the government's $16.7 trillion borrowing cap that will soon be breached.
Assuming the House passes the Republican-backed bill to defund Obamacare and provide temporary government funds, it will be significantly altered by the Democratic Senate next week.
Democrats in that chamber plan to delete the House's Obamacare provision and send the temporary spending bill back to the House for passage before the Sept. 30 deadline when the current fiscal year ends.

Tim Barnum
Associate Editor Community News
Phone: 989-387-9140
Email: email@example.com
Twitter: ArenacTim
Tim started working at the Arenac County Independent in 2007, and then in 2010 began writing at the Ogemaw County Herald and for the Oscoda Couty Herald. Finally, in 2013, he returned to Standish.
Tim said coming back to the Arenac paper was fun for him, as it gave him the chance to cover several issues he was familiar with from a few years ago.
Tim attended Central Michigan University, graduating in 2006 with a major in broadcast and cinematic arts and a minor in political science. So, of course, a newspaper job was the logical path.
He attended Whittemore-Prescott High Schoo; and grew up in Ogemaw County. His parents, John and Carolyn Barnum, still live in the house where he grew up in Churchill Township.
Outside of the office (when not covering sports, meetings, or community events, of course), Tim enjoys doing and watching things that make him laugh. Whether it's reading a humorous non-fiction book (he said he doesn't do fiction, at least not since the Harry Potter saga came to an end) or watching absurdly funny TV shows and stand-up comedy. He tries to fill his free time with laughter.
"What's the other options?" he asks. "Anger? Despair? Fear? No thanks on all three."
When Tim is not watching something funny like "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" or "Wilfred," it's a safe bet that he's watching sports. He said his Detroit sports teams especially the Lions and Tigers, are really the only teams he cares about, although there are several players on his fantasy team that he keeps tabs on.
"Yes, I play fantasy football," he says. "And talk about it. Sorry! I also play disc golf, and the Ogemaw Hills Recreation Complex has become like a second home to me \. Albeit it's outside, and there's nothing that really resembles a home there, but I think I could spend a weekend there, nonetheless."
All kidding aside, Tim said he enjoys writing, which is ultimately how he came to work for a newspaper. And he hopes the readers enjoy reading his writing.
