SOURCE: The Plan Sponsor Council of America
September 14, 2012 10:31 ET
CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - Sep 14, 2012) - The Plan Sponsor Council of America (PSCA) announced the winners of its annual Signature Awards during a special presentation at its 65th Annual National Conference at The Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans.
"The PSCA Signature Awards recognize excellence in plan sponsor and participant communication and education," said Robert Benish, PSCA's Executive Director. "The plan sponsors and providers that we recognize today produced strategies and programs that delivered results to their employees to help them save more effectively for retirement. These companies offer innovative approaches and creative vision to break through the clutter to engage their employees to take action and positively change behavior to participate, to increase their deferral or to diversify their investments."
In 2012, the Signature Awards judges recognized 44 winners in 16 categories. A distinguished judging panel of business leaders and communication experts chose the 2012 winners on how companies write, design, manage, and deliver defined contribution communication and investment education to plan participants and plan sponsors. Signature Awards judges carefully review the metrics to analyze how effective the campaign was at achieving its goals.
The winners of the 2012 Signature Awards were celebrated at an evening reception, sponsored by Russell Investments. The winners are also featured in the 2012 Signature Awards Magazine, an annual publication that describes the details of the winning entries and their successful results. The Signature Awards Magazine is used by industry experts to increase the quality of defined contribution education and communication at hundreds of other plan sponsor companies.

So after handing Alejandro back around 11.30 (later than I wanted) I set off from Geldrop! Just as I did it started to rain…then didn't stop the whole day. I was given directions by the guys at the Camper Van place, as I didn't trust the map/directions I'd printed off. Turns out I was right to, as I'm useless at following maps. Luckily I had my sister's Sat Nav as back up.
After passing the Dutch/Belgian border, about 2.5 hours in, I stopped at a little cafe.
The looks I got from the elderly locals playing bridge, or whatever it was they were playing, were curious to say the least! Not surprised really, I looked like a drowned rat.
Luckily the word coffee is pretty international…in Europe anyway, so I sat there being stared at whilst I sipped the coffee and tried to warm up.
After sending a few messages to say I was still alive I went on my way.
Around 5 pm I thought I should start looking for somewhere to stay for the night. There weren't many hotels/ guest houses around at all, so I was happy to see a sign half an hour later. What I wasn't happy about was the price of the hotel- a little above budget to say the least.
The lady at the desk, a lovely Russian woman, sympathised and helped look for somewhere cheaper. The next place was 20 miles away. "No chance", I thought! Just as I was about to give in and just pay for the room she said she'd call her friend. Strange I thought…
10 minutes later, her friend's husband (Leo) arrived to take me to their home so I could stay for the night. How lovely that these complete strangers wanted to help me so much.
Not only did they welcome me into their home and provide a warm comfy bed, but they made me dinner, which was delicious, and then breakfast in the morning. Leo wouldn't even let me wash the dishes!
Tania came home later on (Leo's wife) and surprised me even further by offering me a dressing gown, slippers and then ensured I had food to take with me the next day.
The kindness was overwhelming. It's so nice to witness true good natured generosity from total strangers.

Simpsons Become Collectors' Footware
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Wearables, Household, Movies
When will Simpsonmania end? Every other commercial, Fox promo, and site has at least one ka-ching for Matt Groening and crew. We are pleased that in between the Squishees and Krusty battling the BK mascot, we found these anti-Simpson shoes. The Limited Edition Krusty the Demon Vans seem to be so popular that they are only available on eBay, from prices of $127.00 to upwards of $350.00. We did find one pair of Homer in Shattered Glass shoes by the same designer Tony Muñoz for $22.50, unless someone has already snatched them up to resell on eBay for a higher price, too.

BOWLING GREEN - They understand where the skepticism comes from and they've come to accept that there is a caveat - and it is them.
But the offensive line at Bowling Green State University wants to tell its side of the story, and the argument goes something like this: Unknown doesn't necessarily mean unqualified. The men up front think that anyone who doubts them in early August should be flagged for a false start.
Little is known about a unit that many have been presumed the weak link in what could be an explosive offense. What is known, though, is three seniors who combined to start 107 games must be replaced.
"We don't look at is as a question mark," senior guard Brandon Curtis said. "We look at it like we're going to outwork everybody out here. We put in hard work this summer. It's going to show up during fall camp and also when we start playing."
There are two near absolutes when it comes to offensive linemen. They hang together away from the field, and they are some of the hardest workers on any given team. Curtis said he and his line mates were typically the last to leave the gym this summer. It's a proud group that expects greatness even though others aren't so sure.
"It doesn't upset me," senior tackle Jeff Fink said. "We take it as a challenge. We did lose three great offensive linemen, but the one thing we've got right now is competition. Competition is going to make better offensive linemen, and I think it will elevate the level of play from the O-line."
No doubt, the play of the line will be the most discussed topic in camp, especially because its performance during spring practice was underwhelming - although injuries and a lack of set rotations could have played a part. However, their leader on the field is optimistic that the line won't hold the offense back from becoming one of the best in the Mid-American Conference.
"The spring game didn't bother me much," quarterback Tyler Sheehan said. "Coach [Matt] Campbell is going to get those guys ready. He's a great coach. When it comes down to it they'll be ready to play."
Campbell is embracing the challenge of finding the right mix of guys to form a solid front. It's a different set of responsibilities than a year ago when he stepped into a job where he mostly fine-tuned what had been handed to him. For years, BG's strength has been in its offensive line, and Campbell understands the importance of continuing that trend.
"We'll go as far as the five guys up front will take us," said Campbell, who is doubling as co-off-ensive coordinator. "With what we do in our scheme, it's those five guys that set the tone."
Although the depth chart is fluid, some things were nearly resolved in the spring. Ben Bojicic, a freshman from Farmington Hills, Mich., will probably start at center, and Aaron Kent (left tackle) and Fink (right tackle) are also practicing with the first team. Returning starters Shane Steffy, a junior, and Curtis have the edge to retain their jobs at left and right guard.
Early indications from camp have the two-deep looking unsettled. Reserve tackles Tyler Donahue and Casey McHugh, and guard Brady Minturn, seem to have the best chances of unseating a starter.
Kent knows what it's like to be battling for a spot. He spent his first three years behind starter Drew Nystrom and didn't see much action until last year.
"It's a great challenge, but I wouldn't change anything," said Kent, a 6-6, 300-pound senior from Zanesville, Ohio. "I think there's a lot of trials and tribulations you go through here and it makes you a better man on top of a better football player. Now is my time and I'm looking forward to the opportunity."

What Impact Is the Media Having on Women in STEM?
Viewing on Levo:
Only you can see this list
One of my happiest moments recently was when my little sister told me she wants to be an engineer. An engineer! A mechanical engineer, she said, or maybe bio.
Little sister, please keep it that way.
My sister is 16, and she was at the forefront of my mind when Levo spoke with FEM, Inc.'s Founder and CEO Rachel Payne during yesterday's Office Hours. Payne brought some troubling facts to light about the state of women in STEM fields, one of which was the lack of women in the industry in general. In 2009, only 24 percent of scientists and engineers were female. This number has remained practically unchanged for almost a decade.
That's a long time, and little progress.
One of the biggest reasons for this problematic gender gap in STEM, said Payne, is the media's portrayal of women in the field. Women scientists and engineers aren't appearing often enough, she said, and when they are, they aren't always shed in a positive light. Most often we see the over-sexed, buxom scientist, or the nerdy, unattractive scientist. The first is too alluring to be taken seriously, and the second is taken so seriously that she isn't alluring. What does this say to young girls about becoming scientists when they grow up?
Payne co-authored a white paper on the subject, which tells us that "pervasive negative stereotypes about women and science and math constitute some of the most important and insidious roadblocks to attracting and retaining women in STEM fields." This is an enormous problem, since "children are spending nearly half their waking hours consuming media."
Women, as they appear in the media, are usually put into "boxes," said Payne. They are categorized into things they can be and do. This homogenous representation often becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy; without diversity in the way women are portrayed, girls can limit their own expectations. Then there are the expectations others have for them to take into account.
Honestly, I'm in awe of my little sister who marches to the beat of her own drum and who so naturally remains largely uninfluenced by media messages telling her what she can and can't do. It doesn't seem to be that way for many girls.
Media drives beliefs which drive behavior, according to Payne's white paper, and she said we need to start by moving beyond a reactionary position when it comes to these portrayals.
"The media needs to portray women in not just a positive light, but the reality of what we are," she told Levo. If content producers could see a whole new market they could reach by creating better, more diverse content, it might incentivize them to stray from negative stereotypes. "[Doing so will] create an inspirational and empowering experience. We need to aggregate our demands, watch and share the positive content, and create a movement behind it."

On March 1, 2013, Bill C-56 was introduced in the House of Commons.ĀAs might be expected from the short title of the proposed act (Combatting Counterfeit Products Act), the majority of Bill C-56 is directed to amendments to the Copyright Act and the Trade-marks Act to add new civil and criminal remedies to curtail commercial counterfeiting activities.ĀUpdate: The details of these new provisions are reviewed here.
ĀWhile the essence of Bill C-56 is clearly directed to counterfeiting, the legislation also proposes significant amendments to the Trade-marks Act (the TMA) that are unrelated to counterfeiting activities.ĀThe most significant of these other changes are highlighted below.
Expansion of What Items May Serve as a Trade-Mark
The proposed amendments would significantly expand the scope of a registrable trade-mark. A "trade-mark" would be defined (inter alia) as "a sign or combination of signs that is used by a person for the purpose of distinguishing or so as to distinguish their goods or services from those of others." The definition of the term "sign" confirms the expansion of items that can serve as trade-marks, including "a word, a personal name, a design, a letter, a numeral, a colour, a figurative element, a three-dimensional shape, a hologram, a moving image, a mode of packaging goods, a sound, a scent, a taste, a texture and the positioning of a sign." (As a consequence of this expansion, the express provisions regarding distinguishing guises would be deleted from the TMA.)
The nature of the evidence required to prove registrability is deliberately left vague in the proposed revisions, and a revised s. 32 would allow the Registrar to ask for any evidence that the Registrar needs to establish that a trade-mark is distinctive at the date of the filing of the application for registration. Similarly, the proposed revised s. 37.1 would give the Registrar the express right to refuse a trade-mark application because the trade-mark is not distinctive.
Expungement of a Mark that Would Limit Development of an Art or Industry
The proposed amendments would add a new s. 18.1 to permit an application to be made to the Federal Court for expungement of a registered mark, on the grounds that the "registration is likely to unreasonably limit the development of any art or industry". It will be interesting to review the debate on this provision to get further details on the "mischief" that this provision is meant to address.
Clarifications Regarding Utilitarian Features
The proposed amendments to s. 12(2) of the TMA include an express prohibition against registration of a trade-mark "if, in relation to the goods or services in association with which it is used or proposed to be used, its features are dictated primarily by a utilitarian function". Furthermore, s. 20 of the TMA would be amended to make it clear that registration of a trade-mark does not prevent a person from using any utilitarian feature embodied in the trade-mark.
Section 45 (Summary Cancellation) Proceedings
Currently, on request of a third party, a s. 45 notice requires the registrant to provide evidence of use of the subject registered trade-mark in association with all of the goods and services in the registration. The proposed amendments to s. 45(1) would provide the Registrar with the option to give notice to the registrant that it must provide evidence of use of the mark in association with only part of the goods or services specified in the registration.
Opposition Proceedings
The proposed amendments would clarify that a counterstatement need only state that the applicant intends to respond to the opposition. The amendments would also appear to require service of written representations at the same time that a party submits such representations to the Registrar in the opposition proceedings (rather than requiring the Registrar to forward such written arguments to the other party).
Associated Marks
The proposed amendments appear to dispense with the ongoing
issues related to associated marks. Association is the statutory
procedure by which CIPO permits the registration of two or more
confusingly similar trade-marks by one owner. It is a precondition
of the registration of the marks that they be owned by the same
person or entity and remain so thereafter. Associated marks can be
assigned or transferred, but must be all be transferred together,
at the same time, to the same assignee. CIPO will refuse to record
any assignment or other document which, if registered, would have
the effect of placing associated marks in the hand of separate
Section 15 of the TMA would be amended to state that "... confusing marks are deemed to be registrable if the applicant is the owner of all of the confusing trade-marks". The proposed deletion of the Registrar's obligation to note associated marks, and to ensure that subsequent changes in ownership or owner's name are made to every mark in a group of associated marks suggests that the Registrar will no longer prohibit such changes.
Changes to the Application Process
Bill C-56 would amend the TMA to allow for a number of changes in the application process, including:
- The ability to divide applications (and further sub-divide
divisional applications), and then re-merge such divisionals after
registration. Each divisional application would be deemed to have
the filing date of the original application, and the Registrar
would have the power to set regulations to determine the date of
registration and renewal for re-merged applications;
- The right to file an application for a proposed certification
mark, rather than waiting until after such a mark has been in
- A requirement for applicants seeking to register word marks (or
any combination of letters, numerals, punctuation marks, diacritics
or typographical symbols), and who do not wish to limit their
registration to any particular font, size or colour, to include a
statement to the effect that they wish the trade-mark to be
registered in standard characters; and
- The potential of a one-week extension of time to the six-month priority filing date.
Amendments to Reflect Jurisprudence
A number of the proposed revisions appear to be directed to codifying the scope of Registrar's powers that have been decided by prior caselaw. For example, decades after s. 7(e) of the TMA was declared ultra vires, one of the proposed amendments would delete s. 7(e) from the TMA. Similarly, the proposed amendments expressly confirm that the Registrar has the right to issue a split decision in an opposition, and the right to refuse an application with respect to one or more of the goods or services specified in it and accept the application with respect to the others.
Section 38 of the TMA would be amended to make it clear that the Registrar does have the power to strike all or part of a Statement of Opposition on the grounds that it is not properly pleaded (or does not set out a ground of opposition in sufficient details to allow an applicant to reply to it). However, the proposed amendments would require that such a motion be made quite soon after receipt of a Statement of Opposition, because the Registrar's ability to strike all or part of a Statement of Opposition would have to be exercised prior to the filing of an applicant's counterstatement.
Housekeeping Matters
A number of the proposed amendments to the TMA are directed to better defining the Registrar's record-keeping obligations. For example, a new s. 29.1 of the TMA would provide the Registrar with the express right to destroy records relating to refused applications, abandoned applications, expunged registrations, inactive official mark registrations, and similar inactive files within 6 years after the date of the final decision that rendered those files inactive. Similarly, section 64 of the TMA is proposed to be amended to provide the Registrar of Trademarks with an express right to keep electronic records.
Section 41 of the TMA is proposed to be amended to provide the
Registrar with a new and very helpful right to "correct any
error in the entry that is obvious from the documents relating to
the registered trade-mark in question that are, at the time of the
entry is made, on file in the Registrar's office",
provided that such correction is made within 6 months after an
entry in the Register is made. Similarly, s. 48 of the TMA is
proposed to be amended to allow the Registrar to "remove the
registration of a transfer of a registered trade-mark on being
furnished with evidence satisfactory to him or her that the
transfer should not have been registered".
Currently, the Registrar of Trade-marks takes the position that he or she has no jurisdiction to make such changes, and the only way to correct such errors is by application to Federal Court.Ā
Finally, to reflect a more modern parlance, the TMA would be amended throughout to replace the word "wares" with the word "goods".
Bill C-56 has a significant road to travel before it passes into law, and the final version of the legislation may well change after debate at second reading, and a clause-by-clause review by a committee. We will continue to monitor the progress of this bill, and keep you advised as the bill progresses through the legislative process.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

If you've implemented SharePoint as a collaboration platform, you likely have a variety of tasks that you know could be simpler but aren't exactly sure how. Fortunately, companies are springing up all over with a variety of SharePoint management add-ons to fit your specific needs. Case in point: MetaVis, a brand new company, has just launched with two new SharePoint products: MetaVis ARCHITECT and MetaVis CLASSIFIER.
MetaVis ARCHITECT: Essentially, ARCHITECT provides a visual representation of your SharePoint infrastructure that looks like a flowchart. You can click on any files in your structure through an Explorer-type listing on the left pane, and it will jump to that file's location in the flowchart. You can also modify the hierarchy from within the flowchart, add notes to the chart, modify the sizes and colors of the chart for easier understanding, export it to an .html file to email, or print the chart. I can think of several interesting uses for ARCHITECT just off the top of my head--for companies with an expansive SharePoint hierarchy, this has a lot of applications.
MetaVis CLASSIFIER: CLASSIFIER is a simpler product, which basically lets you go through your SharePoint infrastructure in an Explorer-type view and apply metatags in bulk. In other words, you can highlight five files and tag them as contracts for the XYZ project. Then, you can copy those five files and move them into another folder in the infrastructure. It's just a simple way to manage your files.
To get a sense of what these products can do for you, I recommend watching the demo videos available at www.metavistech.com/demos. Though, while very informative, I recommend an energy drink before viewing, because these videos are pretty dry. In the place of the typical speaker (with whom you can typically hear every smack of the lips, swallow, and throat clearing in gorey detail), these videos use text bubbles that explain each concept. The videos also have a variety of clicking noises reminiscent of the old DOS computer games.
Jokes aside, the MetaVis products seem like valuable SharePoint add-ons. What they lack in glamour they make up for in simplicity and efficiency. I've contacted MetaVis for pricing on the products, and will add it to this post when I hear back. Otherwise, you can contact the vendor through a form on the MetaVis website and I'm sure you'll hear from a representative shortly.
Update: I heard back from MetaVis about pricing. Architect costs $5,500 per seat or $2750 for an annual subscription. Classifier costs $1,500 for the first seat or $750 for an annual subscription.

One of the great nonsenses of pseudoscience that never seems to go away is the perpetual motion machine. They aren't called that these days, of course, because everyone knows that such things are impossible. The new name is "free energy device", but the principle is the same. A recent example of this genre is the Lutec 100, a generator which, according to the inventors, is 3000% efficient. The Lutec people once said that they were going to accept the $100,000 challenge from the Australian Skeptics, but for some reason they eventually lost interest. They were awarded the 2001 Bent Spoon Award for their efforts at overthrowing physics. I thought I would see where they were up to in their attempt to solve all the world's energy problems, so I sent them the following email. I have not yet received a reply, but if I could predict the future I would say that the reply will either be a set of answers to some other questions or some abuse and patronising suggestions that I don't understand what they are doing.

What you may not know, if you buy baked goods from Gail Record at either of Springfield's two farmers markets, is that she goes to a lot of trouble to make sure the ingredients she uses are locally sourced and grown either organically or in a sustainable manner.
Although she lives in Springfield, some of her ingredients are grown at Clarewood Farm — her family's 80-acre farm near Loami. Other ingredients, including eggs, come from area farmers.
"When I started working at the farm, I wanted an apple orchard and nut trees and vegetables and fruit and I wanted to bake. I had big ideas. But you have to have time to do it," said Record, a grandmother who sells under the name Clarewood Farm & Bakery.
The first-year farmers market vendor and former food writer hasn't given up on her dream of running a thriving sustainable farm, but she's starting small.
Take flour, for example.
She wanted to grow an acre of wheat, which she planned to make into flour for her whole-wheat baked goods. But when she realized how labor-intensive and difficult growing wheat would be, she decided to buy wheat berries from an organic farm in Chenoa and grind them herself.
Her stand — Saturdays only at the Old Capitol Farmers Market and Thursdays at the Illinois Products Farmers Market — sells cookies, muffins, zucchini bread, granola, scones, whole-wheat tortillas and other goodies. Fruit pies will be offered in the fall.

It is both true and disgusting. When you think nothing could get more cruel or stupid, these things happen…:

A crew was scrambled from the Deepwater Horizon clean-up operation after the collision sent a plume of oil and gas 100ft into the air.
The spill in Barataria Bay, which is surrounded by wildlife-rich wetlands, is at least the third leak since in the area since the BP oil catastrophe began on April 10.
The area of ocean 65 miles south of New Orleans would normally be occupied by fishermen, shrimpers and oystermen, but it has been deserted since the BP spill began.
The abandoned wellhead burst in the early hours of Tuesday morning after being hit by a tug boat that was pushing a dredge barge.
About 6,000 feet of boom was placed around the spill, and the Coast Guard was surveying the scene from a helicopter.
Admiral Thad Allen, the US Coast Guard chief, said the oil platform was surrounded by a sheen and a vapour that was probably a combination of oil and gas spewing from the well.
From one end of the country to the other:
By Ed Brayton 7/27/10 3:28 PM
It's looking like the oil spill from a pipeline into the Talmadge Creek in Calhoun County is going to be a replay of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in at least one respect — the companies, aided by the government, do not want the media to have access to take pictures and video of what is going on. The Michigan Messenger's Todd Heywood is on the scene and was turned away from one of the primary sites by employees of Enbridge, the company that owns and operates the pipeline.
Heywood was at 12 Mile Rd. and C Avenue at a bridge over the Ceresco Dam when employees from Enbridge turned him away. The employee would only give his name as Mike, and when he noticed Heywood writing down the information he said, "I'm not telling you anything else" and walked away.
A sheriff's deputy on the scene confirmed that he was not allowed to take pictures there of the oil spill or the wildlife. He then went to the Enbridge command center and was told by Enbridge spokesperson Lorraine Grymala that he would have to go to the Calhoun County Sheriff to talk to them about it.

If this country paid the real price for coal instead of socializing the costs (ie. transferring the cost to the general public) it would be too expensive to burn. If the Coal Industry had to pay the real cost of drilling the holes (tax free zones), making the holes safe (complying with regulations instead of being lightly fined), freeing the coal of its nasty properties (passed onto the consumers of coal), safely disposing of those associated wastes (see articles below) and pay part of the costs of the effects of their uses on the environment (passed on to the end users and consumers) then we would never even think about using that stuff. But they get passes on all of that and they put the public at risk. Oh and they want to put in the levies too.
What the activists say:
Coal production is a major part of the Illinois economy. In 2004, the state produced over 31 million short tons of coal worth an estimated $819 million dollars, which ranked it 9th in the nation in coal production.[1] Coal deposits underly 37,000 square miles of Illinois, about two thirds the entire state. Recoverable coal reserves are estimated to total 30 billion tons, accounting for almost one-eighth of the nation's total coal reserves and one-fourth of bituminous coal reserves.[2] In comparison to western coal, Illinois coal is high in sulfur, and even when cleaned the sulfur content averages 2 to 3 percent by weight.[3]
The state consumed over 54 million short tons of coal for electrical power in 2004,[1] producing approximately 48 percent of the electricity generated in Illinois. The state's average retail price of electricity is 7.07 cents per kilowatt hour, the 20th lowest rate in the nation[4] In 2003, Illinois emitted 230 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, ranking it 7th in the nation overall.[5]
In a major survey article for the Illinois Times on the coal fight in the state, Peter Downs wrote:[6]
What the Newspaper reports:
Coal mining companies are supposed to clean up after themselves, and the government is supposed to ensure groundwater is pure.
But environmental activists fear that mining companies in central and southern Illinois may poison aquifers by injecting potentially dangerous pollutants into the ground with inadequate review by regulators and no notice to the public.
The state has already allowed the practice at the Crown Mine No. 3 near Girard, and the owner of the Shay No. 1 Mine near Carlinville, which closed in 2007 but reopened last year, has applied for permission. Activists fear this is just the beginning as coal companies develop new mines and restart old ones.
The waste is a byproduct of washing coal. The slurry that results can contain arsenic, heavy metals and other pollutants. The website of the state Office of Mines and Minerals says the material "can be potentially acid-forming and/or toxic."
The danger is serious enough that the practice of injecting coal slurry into the ground has been curtailed in West Virginia, where more than 100 lawsuits are pending by residents who blame coal companies for poisoning wells.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A federal plan to use ash waste from coal-fired power plants to shore up some Mississippi River levees drew objections Thursday from environmentalists who are worried that toxins in the ash might seep into the river and public water systems it serves.
The Sierra Club and other nature groups lined up against the Army Corps of Engineers' plan, worrying during a public hearing that the use of coal or fly ash questionably could extend later to levees along other inland rivers and perpetuate coal burning, widely believed to contribute to global warming.
"If this should turn out to be toxic (after it's been injected into a levee's weak spots), how do we get it back out?" Tom Ball, a member of the Sierra Club and Missouri Stream Team, pressed during the 90-minute hearing that drew about 50 people, including electric utility representatives
"This fly ash is hazardous waste, regardless of what you call it," added Catherine Edmiston, an environmentalist heading an Illinois group opposing longwall mining. "I am against putting it against a major river. I think we need to think about this."
Corps officials called the injection of a slurry of water, coal ash and lime into 25 miles of slide-prone levees in 200-mile stretch of the river from Alton, Ill., near St. Louis to southern Illinois' tip the cheapest, longest-lasting fix among several options it weighed.
Yet the corps pledged not to move hastily, calling any decision months away and pressing that the search for the cheapest fix for taxpayers won't trump public safety. For now, the corps says, the ash-slurry plan appears be
ST. LOUIS (AP) – The Army Corps of Engineers wants to use ash cast off from coal-fired electrical generation to shore up dozens of miles of Mississippi River levees, drawing fire from environmentalists worried that heavy metals from the filler might make their way into the river.
The corps announced the plan last month, touting the injection of a slurry of water, coal ash and lime into 25 miles of slide-prone levees in 200-mile stretch of the river from Alton, Ill., near St. Louis to tiny Gale on southern Illinois' tip as the cheapest, longest-lasting fix among several options it weighed.
A public hearing on the matter, scheduled Thursday in St. Louis, is certain to elicit questions from environmentalists who consider the use of coal ash – also known as fly ash – a bad idea despite corps assurances that it has been used trouble-free on levees near Memphis for more than a decade.

It's Jam Band Friday – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RupUECcyVow
What ever happend to a great innovative idea. In Early 2008 everyone was a twitter about this story. Why? Because half to one third of the energy we generate is wasted. Then:
Scientists are developing a new device that could have a profound impact on global energy supplies by converting wasted heat into electricity. It could potentially have an impact on everything from power plants to cell phones, and it came about because of a serendipitous discovery that had eluded scientists for half a century.
Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and the University of California, Berkeley, have found a way to use ordinary silicon to convert heat to electricity. The technique could mean that some day you will be able to recharge your cell phone with electricity produced by your own body heat, and enormous amounts of energy that is now wasted could be recycled.
"We feel that this is a breakthrough," said Arun Majumdar, a mechanical engineer and materials scientist with joint appointments at the Berkeley lab and UC Berkeley. "I'm very excited about this."
Astonishingly, Majumdar and his colleagues didn't set out to achieve what they have done.
"It was serendipitous," he said. "We never planned for it."
And perhaps even more surprising, they did it with a material that most scientists thought would never work for this purpose — ordinary silicon, a cheap, abundant material that is the foundation for the multibillion-dollar semiconductor industry.
Majumdar and his fellow researchers, including chemist Peidong Yang, a noted leader in the rapidly growing field of technology at the incredibly small "nano" scale, reported on their work in the Jan. 10 issue of the journal Nature. It's not clear yet why the device they have created works.
"We don't have all the answers at this point," Majumdar said. But laboratory experiments show that it does, indeed, work. At least on a small scale. The device, placed between a hot plate and a cold plate, produced enough electricity to power a light bulb, although they didn't do that demonstration. Instead, they measured the current flowing from the hot plate toward the cold plate, and it was sufficient to claim success, he said.
or this:
Waste heat — which is one of our favorites sources of energy here — essentially revolves around capturing heat from engines and machinery and using it to run things like water heaters or converting it into electricity. The U.S. consumes around 100 quads (100 quadrillion BTUs) of energy a year, and 55 to 60 quads get dissipated as waste heat, according to Arun Majumdar, the UC Berkeley professor who came up with a lot of the technology behind Alphabet (he now runs ARPA-E, the advanced projects group inside the Department of Energy). Thus, there is a lot of waste heat out there and it could be cheaper than solar. Alphabet estimates it could be a $200 billion market.
Heat-to-electricity can be accomplished in two ways. Companies such as Recycled Energy Development (RED) and Ormat have successfully retrofitted factories to capture waste heat, but these systems largely rely on mechanical engineering. Heat is captured and then channeled into productive uses. One of RED's showcase projects — coming next year — is a system at West Virginia Alloys, a silicon manufacturer, that will generate 45 megawatts of electrical power from the waste heat generated by factory operations. The company uses 120 megawatts at the current time, but the waste heat system will effectively allow Alloys to recover about one-third of the power it now buys but wastes. Fuel cells can also be used to harvest waste heat.
Semiconductors could potentially be the next wave for the industry, and this is where Alphabet comes in. Traditional waste heat chips — heat goes in one side, electricity comes out the other — cost around $20 a watt and are made out of bismuth telluride. Alphabet won't say what its semiconductor is made from, but sources say the chief material is silicon nanowires.
More next week.
Paris — If you're looking for a comprehensive resource for renewable energy installation figures, look no further: The Renewables Global Status report was released last week, and it provides a great snapshot of where and how renewables are being developed around the world.
The report was released by the Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century, also known as REN21, and it provides an upbeat picture for renewables, despite the murky outlook for the global economy.
The report was originally released in 2005. Since then, solar PV has grown by 60 percent annually, wind by 27 percent, solar hot water by 19 percent, according to the authors. In 2009, renewables made up more than half of investment in global power generation. And that's with depressed oil and gas prices, lenders being very choosy about projects and individual consumers facing their own financial problems. Total investment in the industry was about $150 billion last year.
Other than the stellar investment figures during a slow year for most other industries, there's not much surprising in the 2009 report. The industry continues to move along – increasingly in developing countries – driven largely by robust public policy. Where policy lacks, investment does too.
Perhaps the most important trend is the role of China in the global renewable energy market. According to the report, the country produces about 40 precent of solar PV panels, 30 percent of wind turbines and 77 percent of solar hot water systems globally. The Chinese presence will impact investment decisions of companies as they work to compete with "The China Price," and decide where to locate manufacturing facilities.
Many organizations like the International Energy Agency and the Energy Information Administration put together yearly figures on renewables. But none do it quite as comprehensively and clearly as the REN21 folks do. It's worth keeping around as a go-to resource for figures on the industry.
Here are some other highlights taken straight from the report about the various renewables sectors:

I think tossing oil into the environment is contagious.
BEIJING – China's largest reported oil spill had more than doubled by Wednesday, closing beaches on the Yellow Sea and prompting an environmental official to warn the sticky black crude posed a "severe threat" to sea life and water quality.
Some workers trying to clean up the inky beaches wore little more than rubber gloves, complicating efforts, one official said. But 40 oil-control boats and hundreds of fishing boats were also deployed in the area.
"I've been to a few bays today and discovered they were almost entirely covered with dark oil," said Zhong Yu, a worker with the environmental group Greenpeace China, who spent Wednesday on a boat inspecting the spill.
Tribune Washington Bureau
It took Republicans in the state House of Representatives here less than an hour Tuesday to deep-six an effort by Gov. Charlie Crist, a Republican turned independent, to push a constitutional amendment banning offshore drilling.
The outcome was not a surprise, but it was dramatic evidence that the massive oil spill is washing over gulf state politics as well as beaches.
Crist, a popular governor who is running for the U.S. Senate as an independent after being flanked by conservatives in his own party, is hoping that anger over the oil spill will propel him to office.
And the actions of the state GOP, while stopping Crist in the Legislature, appear likely to foment that anger further.
Fallout from the Deepwater Horizon rig disaster is seeping through congressional races nationwide. While the spill has emerged as a central issue in the Senate race here, it's also pitted Gulf Coast Democrats on Capitol Hill against the Obama administration, made conservative folk heroes out of a pair of Republican governors, and handed Democrats something every campaign season needs: a black-hat villain in BP.

press release
July 20, 2010, 9:15 a.m. EDT · Recommend · Post:
BURTONSVILLE, Md., Jul 20, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — New Energy Technologies, Inc. /quotes/comstock/11k!nene (NENE 0.53, +0.03, +6.00%) is pleased to announce that researchers developing its proprietary SolarWindow(TM) technology have achieved major scientific and technical breakthroughs, allowing the Company to unveil a working prototype of the world's first-ever glass window capable of generating electricity in the upcoming weeks.
Until now, solar panels have remained opaque, with the prospect of creating a see-thru glass window capable of generating electricity limited by the use of metals and various expensive processes which block visibility and prevent light from passing through glass surfaces.
New Energy's ability to generate electricity on see-thru glass is made possible by making use of the world's smallest working organic solar cells, developed by Dr. Xiaomei Jiang at the University of South Florida. Unlike conventional solar systems, New Energy's solar cells generate electricity from both natural and artificial light sources, outperforming today's commercial solar and thin-film technologies by as much as 10-fold.
Click here to view press release, announcing test results which show New Energy's see-thru SolarWindow(TM) cells surpass thin-film and solar in artificial light: http://www.newenergytechnologiesinc.com/NENE20090624.html
New Energy's SolarWindow(TM) technology is under development for potential application in the estimated 5 million commercial buildings in America (Energy Information Administration) and more than 80 million single detached homes.
"We're always keen to see innovations in our laboratories turn into meaningful commercial products," stated Valerie McDevitt, Assistant Vice President for Research, Division of Patents and Licensing, University of South Florida. "We very much look forward to the commercial development of New Energy's SolarWindow(TM) technology, which, if successful, could literally transform the way in which we view the use of solar energy for our homes, offices, and commercial buildings."

|Merging overrides with defaults
|Tue, 16 Jun 2009 21:51:55 GMT
I have a property file containing default configurations in a key=value format. I also have another file with the same format which contains overrides for some of the properties. I need to apply the overrides to the default configuration while preserving the format and comments. I also need to write the merged content to a string. I am using the following code, but the mergedContent contains the default content and no overrides. I tried reversing the order in which I add defaultConfig and overridingConfig to CompositeConfiguration, but still no luck. PropertiesConfiguration mergedConfig = new PropertiesConfiguration(); CompositeConfiguration compositeConfig = new CompositeConfiguration(defaultConfig); mergedConfig = defaultConfig; compositeConfig.addConfiguration(overridingConfig); StringWriter writer = new StringWriter(); mergedConfig.save(writer); String mergedContent = writer.toString(); What's wrong with the code above? Thanks.

Da Stone 4: Going LongSaturday, November 28th, 2009
As some of you rabid Fasterskier readers already know, today was the first real distance race of the season. Although advertised as a 15k, it had to have been more like 12 or 13; although he's fast, there's no way Leif was skiing 2 minutes a kilometer to win this first SuperTour Distance race in 32 minutes.
That's basically the most accurate description of today's race for the FAST boys. David was the top Junior male by a long-shot for the second race in a row, a feat which continues to garner absolutely zero attention on this website for some reason. Besides that, there weren't a whole lot of highlights. Actually, Werner probably had the best race of any of us. He rallied his way into the top 10 Juniors overall, which is pretty impressive, considering the field is pretty stacked and we are racing at altitude.
More importantly, the results to the quiz posted two days ago will now be revealed. I know you have all been holding your breath until this moment, but it has finally arrived. We've just been told that FXC coach Peter Leonard has generously volunteered to donate a week's worth of free technique lessons to the winner, which incidentally happens to be David's older sister Mishelle.
The winning, and correct answers are:
A = Werner B = Tyson C = Reese D = David
Other than the race, there were a few other highlights from the day:

ACS - the professional body for Australia's ICT sector - announced on November 25 that Sri Lankan born Yohan Ramasundara was elected as the ACS President effective from January 1, 2018 for a two-year term.
Ramasundara completed his schooling at Thurstan College Colombo before moving to Australia to further his education in late 1990s. He pursued his passion for technology by graduating with Bachelor of IT degree from University of Canberra. In recognising how vital ICT education and collaboration is to the prosperity of communities, Ramasundara has led major international initiatives including conferences and leadership assemblies.
Ramasundara is the youngest president to be elected at ACS for over two decades and is currently the Vice President overseeing ACS Membership Advisory Board, having previously transformed the ACS financial performance as the National Treasurer for five years from 2012 to 2016.
He is also the Secretary General of SEARCC - the Asia Pacific forum for professional ICT associations. He is the Head of Governance for the Australian government agency administering IP rights. He recently returned to Australia from a secondment as the Innovation Manager for International Operations in San Francisco, California, with the Australian trade mission.
In 2018-19 Ramasundara's leadership team includes Dr Nick Tate, Vice President overseeing the Professional Advisory Board; Dr Ian Oppermann, Vice President overseeing the Technical Advisory Board; Anthony Wong as Immediate Past President; Arnold Wong as Treasurer; Andrew Johnson, ACS CEO; and four branch representatives.
Ramasundara said, 'As President, I will build on the platforms ACS has laid over the last 50 years.'I look forward to collaborating across ACS and building our credibility as a trusted advisor to government, industry, academia and our members."
Ramasundara acknowledged the work of the outgoing president Anthony Wong. "As ACS President, Anthony has worked tirelessly for the past two years, bringing to the role his in-depth knowledge of the ICT industry and the organisation of which he has been a member since 2001. During Anthony's leadership, ACS' engagement with government at a state/territory and federal level grew markedly during 2016 and 2017, building strong networks and advocating for ACS, its members and the ICT profession.
In his spare time Ramasundara enjoys all things related to innovation and the start-up ecosystem. He has also served as a Cricket Australia umpire with an impressive record officiating at a national level over many years.

The headstone of A.J. M. Barbe, a soldier of pioneer corps who died Jan. 25, 1943 is seen broken at the Commonwealth Benghazi War Cemetery.
Graves of British soldiers who fought and died during the North African desert battles of WWII were recently desecrated by a mob of angry Libyans. Local reports claimed that Islamists, angered by the recent burning of a Quran at a NATO military base in Afghanistan, are to blame. Libya's national transitional government has apologized for the attacks and local authorities have detained several suspects.

Your paper's June 17 editorial regarding the Sept. 11 commission report that found no evidence of a "collaborative relationship" between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda criticized those who said the report shows that the Bush administration misled the public. "Administration foes," the editorial noted, "seized on this sentence to claim that Vice President Cheney has been lying, as recently as this week, about a purported relationship between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda. The accusation is nearly as irresponsible as the Bush administration's rhetoric has been." Not so.
Before the war, Bush's primary argument for attacking Iraq was that Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction and that he could at any moment slip such weapons to allies in al Qaeda. Bush said of Hussein, "He's a threat because he is dealing with al Qaeda." He declared, "Iraq has sent bomb-making and document forgery experts to work with al Qaeda. Iraq has also provided al Qaeda with chemical and biological weapons training." In his post-invasion speech aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, he called Hussein "an ally of al Qaeda."
According to the commission's report, those were false statements. Hussein in the years before the war was not "dealing" with al Qaeda; Iraq had not supplied material assistance to al Qaeda, and Hussein was no "ally" of Osama bin Laden.
Your paper claimed that the commission did not "contradict what Mr. Cheney actually said -- and President Bush backed up -- earlier this week: that there were 'long-established ties' between al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein's Iraq." But regarding these "ties," the report said bin Laden "explored possible cooperation with Iraq" in the early 1990s, and one Iraqi intelligence officer "finally" met with him in 1994. Bin Laden "is said to have requested" assistance from Iraq, but "Iraq apparently never responded."
How does a meeting from 10 years ago (that resulted in nothing) -- as well as possible but unconfirmed contacts that happened in 1996 -- become "long-established ties"? Let's be honest about the use of language. By deploying this phrase, Cheney meant to suggest that an active relationship existed between al Qaeda and Iraq.
Your paper tries to have it both ways. After chastising Bush critics, it acknowledges that Cheney has overstated "rather tentative ties" between bin Laden and Hussein. But if your paper believes the links were "rather tentative," how can it endorse Cheney's use of the term "long-established ties"? More importantly, how can it denounce the critics for reasonably pointing to the commission's report as evidence that President Bush and Vice President Cheney did not tell the truth about the al Qaeda-Iraq connection before the war? The Bush administration did not maintain war was necessary because of "rather tentative" ties. The misleading assertions of the administration -- not the justifiable response of the critics -- remain the main story.

I believe this world must be experienced to be fully understood. I believe I must travel in order to appreciate its wonders. I believe I must learn about the places I travel to before I ever set foot on a plane; however, I also believe that no amount of studying can truly prepare me for the real experience. I have traveled for the entirety of my life, but my belief is new. In fact, it wasn't until last May, when my dad took me to Scotland, that I realized my belief.
It was the first time that I had traveled to Europe and my excitement was unwavering. In preparation for my departure, I studied books, travel guides, maps and websites that would give me insight into the secrets of Scotland. I even watched movies and TV specials to try to get a glimpse of the world I was about to discover. From the geography of the land to the history of the culture, nothing was going to take me by surprise, but I could not have been more wrong.
The majority of the time I spent in Scotland, I just kept thinking to myself, "I can't believe I'm here." The pictures I had seen before leaving did no justice to the reality of what I was seeing after arriving. My books had taught me about the people, the history, the traditions and the monarchy, but Scotland was so much more. If I had trusted that what I had studied would teach me everything, I would have continued to live my life believing that Scotland was just like any other country and that Scottish society was simple and boring. From my first-hand experience, I learned that Scotland is rich in history and mythology and that the Scots comprise a rustic and timeless civilization, one that must be experienced to be fully understood.
After I returned to the states, I tried to describe to my friends and family the truths of what I learned in Europe. I described the beauty of the Highlands as they cascaded over the country, the majesty of the castles after hundreds of years standing in ruins, and the pungent smell of Scotch whiskey after it has been fermenting for 75 years in a hand-built, oak cask, but no one could quite understand. I soon realized that no matter how hard I tried, I could not communicate the magnificence of the culture in any amount of words or pictures. Afterward, I decided that the inability to put experiences into words was common to everyone. I easily recalled moments, throughout all of my life, when listening to someone else's recollection of an event was never anything like being able to experience the same thing for myself. So although I believe that books and maps and pictures are useful resources for learning about the wonders of this world, nothing compares to experiencing it first-hand.

SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - Feb 28, 2012) - Managing trades well is part of what separates winning and losing traders over the long term. The BullTrade.com "Stock Alert" service combines excellent stock picking (a proprietary system fine-tuned over 14 years) with superior management. The results have been fantastic. Since January 2003, over 96% of all closed-out trades have ended profitably. There have been several trading streaks of well over a year without a single losing trade. In 2011, a streak of 180 consecutive winning trades (28 straight months) finally ended with a loss during the summer volatility. 2012 has started with nine straight profitable trades, one of which eclipsed a 17% gain in a few days. While there are some monster winners, most gains, like Apple Computer (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Green Mountain Coffee, have averaged 8-12%. These "Stock Alerts" are sent prior to the market open so any active trader can easily benefit. One subscriber commented, "I followed your buy recommendation on Cemex and took a 26% profit the following day. Your picks have been fantastic. I wish I found you guys earlier!"

Caroline Wozniacki laughed off suggestions that she should try and find love on the internet after being dumped by Rory McIlroy.
Golf superstar McIlroy broke off their engagement after getting cold feet over wedding plans which left 23-year-old Wozniacki nursing a broken heart and in a state of shock when it was revealed at the French Open that the pair`s romance was ended in a brief phone call.
But the former world number one was in a brighter mood on Tuesday after making the Wimbledon second round with a 6-3, 6-0 win over Israel`s Shahar Peer.
She shuddered at the thought of web dating.
"I think I`m not that desperate," she said.
"I`ll just see what happens. I`m perfectly fine being single at the moment. It`s pretty hard to sweep me off my feet. It would have to take someone very special. I guess when you least expect it, it`s going to come. Right now I`m just into my tennis. And playing here, it`s great. That`s what I`m focused on."
Wozniacki may be concentrating on her tennis but she she did have time to notice Spanish tennis hunk Feliciano Lopez -- once nicknamed `Deliciano` by Andy Murray`s mother -- watching her from the sidelines on Court 12.
Lopez was on the same court as Wozniacki later Tuesday to play his first round match with Japan`s Yuichi Sugita.
"Yeah. I noticed he was on the sidelines in Eastbourne. He`s a great guy. Playing well....this is very awkward," she admitted.
In the immediate aftermath of her break-up with McIlroy, Wozniacki got on with her life joining close friend Serena Williams at the NBA basketball finals in Miami.
"Serena is a great girl. She is an amazing friend. She`s always been there for me whenever I`ve needed her. It`s great that you have such an amazing competitor, very professional athlete," said Wozniacki.
"After everything that she`s achieved in her professional career, as well, that she finds time. She wants to help out a friend who needs it sometimes. You know, it`s just nice to have good people around you.
"She`s loyal and she`s there for you when you need her. She`s fun to hang around. That`s something that I think is very important in a friend."
Wozniacki, who has yet to progress beyond the fourth round at Wimbledon, will face Britain`s Naomi Broady for a place in the last 32.
However, she admitted she knew little about a player who had her tennis federation funding cut six years ago and has been making her way through the sport`s lower tiers under her own steam ever since.
"I know what she looks like," was Wozniacki`s sole crumb of information.

In future present perfect dimension
Love's orders of magnitude surmount war's
desolation. Every grudge fades like mist
in Cosmic Creator's clear urban Light.
New families form; kindness-powered households
spur Shalom's local global interplay.
Every government, every company
works together building community.
Pangs of awestruck longing pierce fearful hearts
opening peepholes to holy beauty.
Children and grandparents, neighbors and friends
discover the highest power is Love.

Just when we'd thought we'd heard the worst about domestic spying
This just in from Truthout:
New York Police Covertly Join In at Protest Rallies
By Jim Dwyer
The New York Times
Thursday 22 December 2005
Undercover New York City police officers have conducted covert surveillance in the last 16 months of people protesting the Iraq war, bicycle riders taking part in mass rallies and even mourners at a street vigil for a cyclist killed in an accident, a series of videotapes show.
In glimpses and in glaring detail, the videotape images reveal the robust presence of disguised officers or others working with them at seven public gatherings since August 2004.
The officers hoist protest signs. They hold flowers with mourners. They ride in bicycle events. At the vigil for the cyclist, an officer in biking gear wore a button that said, "I am a shameless agitator." She also carried a camera and videotaped the roughly 15 people present.
Beyond collecting information, some of the undercover officers or their associates are seen on the tape having influence on events. At a demonstration last year during the Republican National Convention, the sham arrest of a man secretly working with the police led to a bruising confrontation between officers in riot gear and bystanders.
Until Sept. 11, the secret monitoring of events where people expressed their opinions was among the most tightly limited of police powers.
Provided with images from the tape, the Police Department's chief spokesman, Paul J. Browne, did not dispute that they showed officers at work but said that disguised officers had always attended such gatherings - not to investigate political activities but to keep order and protect free speech. Activists, however, say that police officers masquerading as protesters and bicycle riders distort their messages and provoke trouble.
The pictures of the undercover officers were culled from an unofficial archive of civilian and police videotapes by Eileen Clancy, a forensic video analyst who is critical of the tactics. She gave the tapes to The New York Times. Based on what the individuals said, the equipment they carried and their almost immediate release after they had been arrested amid protesters or bicycle riders, The Times concluded that at least 10 officers were incognito at the events.

This week I had the absolute pleasure of working with New York based soprano Danya Katok and pianist Nana Shi in an all Dickinson recital at CSU Bakersfield. This was a project that Danya, Nana and I have been working with for about 18 months. Originally it was part of a grant proposal (that we didn't get) but luckily we have been able to get a little bit of life out of the idea.
The set is absolutely amazing. Along with my 5 songs from Dream Cycle Danya sang several selections from Copland's 12 poems of Emily Dickinson, along with some Previn, and the amazing cycle by Juliana Hall, Syllables of Velvet, Sentences of Plush (using some of Dickinson's many letters). Nana also presented Leon Kirchner's piano cycle Five pieces for Piano (all inspired by Dickinson poems).
It was truly an amazing experience to work with artists of this caliber. They are both a delight to listen to and to hang out with. Both are working on their DMAs in New York.
Earlier in the day Danya presented a brilliant master class with members of the CSU Bakersfield voice studio. We all learned some valuable information in that session. It really was a treat.
The recital was recorded and I will post some video as soon as I get it.
