Credit the USA Pear Bureau for finding a humorous and deeply retro way to market their product: postcards in hand-tint style showing Lewis and Clark in their most intrepid stances, accompanied by really large pears.
It is a giant Bartlett that fills their canoe, and not a behemoth bass or trout as seen in the 1950s-era novelty postcards. (Actually, those comic cards are still to be found.)
In another USA Pears postcard, Lewis surveys the Gorge from a cliff while Clark gazes at a huge Red Bartlett at their side – probably thinking how many explorers it would feed.
The postcard reads: "Lewis and Clark: The Other Great Pair to Venture West."
The famously fruit-deprived diets of the Corps was starting to improve by the time they reached the Gorge. A juicy Comice would have gone well with all that salmon.
Yet this is the time to consider the arduous experiences as well as the historic significance of the Corps of Discovery.
In The Dalles, "Corps of Discovery II: 200 Years to the Future" will be at the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center Oct. 28-31, 200 years after local tribes watched the first American white water crazies - also called the Lewis and Clark Expedition - shoot down the Columbia River.
The Corps' campsite on Oct. 24-25, 1805, was at the mouth of what is now Mill Creek in The Dalles.
Admission to Corps II is free, and there will be plenty of interactive displays and activities. Hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 28-31.
Meanwhile. "Destination Expedition" arrives in Cascade Locks for 200th anniversary re-enactment of Corps of Discovery. Cascade Locks plans to celebrate in grand style on Oct. 30 at Marine Park. The Discovery Expedition has completed over 4,100 miles on the Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, followed by the Snake and Columbia Rivers, making this the longest military re-enactment in American history.
Hood River News will carry full details of both events in the Oct. 26 edition. Make plans to attend one or both of these commemorative events.
Big juicy pears are a recurring pleasure in our area, but such opportunities to learn about Corps of Discovery are unlikely to pass this way again.

Emily Popham '12
Hired By…Johnson & Johnson's Neutrogena brand
After landing the entry job she has always wanted, Emily Popham '12 believes she is ready to take on the real world.
A Cranberry Lake, N.Y. native, Emily was hired by Johnson & Johnson (J&J), specifically the Neutrogena brand division located in Los Angeles, California and will begin working just weeks after graduation. However, she began the process of securing her position with Neutrogena much earlier - while attending Clarkson's annual fall Career Fair during her junior year.
"After getting an interview with J&J at the Career Fair, I was offered a co-op position with the company in New Jersey for the spring semester of my junior year," she explains. "I networked throughout my co-op and was able to obtain another co-op with Neutrogena. While there, I expressed interest in staying with the company and everything just fell into place."
As a global supply chain management major, she will be a materials planner working with Neutrogena's manufacturing plant, supporting the internal manufacturing site and using her skills in knowledge in supply chain management.
"School can only prepare you so much for what the real world has in store, but I feel that Clarkson has given me the tools and resources I need to succeed in my future career," she says.

Lloyd Blue from Camrose, Alberta, won the contest through a drawing that took place on Aug. 6, after entering his favorite spot to RV in Canada – Two O'Clock Campground in the Kootenay Plains ecological reserve, according to a news release.
Go RVing Canada, in partnership with the Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA) of Canada and the Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC), launched the month-long contest on July 6 in commemoration of the RV Centennial. This contest, engaging RV enthusiasts across Canada, allowed Canadians to submit their favorite spot to RV in Canada for a chance to win an Apple iPad.
"We had over 570 entries during the contest," said Go RVing Canada Spokesperson Angèle Lapointe. "It was absolutely incredible to read all of the submissions and it really makes us realize how fortunate we are to live in such a great country."
The complete list of favorite Canadian RV destinations is available on Go RVing Canada's website, www.GoRVing.ca, and consists of answers submitted by Canadians from coast to coast.
Some of the top spots to RV in Canada include: Kluane Lake (Yukon), Pacific Rim National Park (British Columbia), Eagle Lake RV Resort (Strathmore, Alberta), Douglas Provincial Park (Saskatchewan), Spruce Woods Provincial Park (Manitoba), Algonquin Park (Ontario), Gaspésie (Québec), King Neptune Campground (Indian Harbour, Nova Scotia), Cavendish Sunset (Prince Edward Island), Fundy National Park (New Brunswick) and Gros Morne (Newfoundland and Labrador).
"This event is a true testament to the RV lifestyle," added Lapointe, "which clearly remains a popular vacation choice for those who are looking for an affordable vacation that offers freedom, flexibility and fun."

The Zimmerman trial was a joke from the start. The police questioned him for five hours and decided it was a case of self-defense. The prosecutors didn�t want to try the case. The head of the Sanford, Fla. police department lost his job because he wouldn�t go along with it. Once a special prosecutor was called in, the only way that she could get it to go to trial was to bypass a grand jury. She knew that if a grand jury had been convened, the trial never would have happened.
The only reason it was brought to trial was pressure from the NAACP, and the U.S. Department of Justice, two organizations that I lost all respect for long ago. It was a local news story that was made into a national story by the president, by his remarks that if he had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin. That remark, and the entire media hype of this case was total bull.
Here�s my synopsis of what happened that night, race removed, because it shouldn�t matter.
A guy is driving around his neighborhood, checking things out, it�s his job, he is the community watch guy. He sees a kid walking around, not trying to get out of the rain. The kid is not familiar to him, and he wonders why someone would just walk around in the rain, it raises suspicion, so he follows the kid. There have been numerous break-ins in the community, so this guy thinks he may have found someone trying to do the same thing.
The kid is either up to no good, or he is trying to appear to be up to no good, that�s the culture of kids nowadays. The guy calls the cops to let them know that there is someone not familiar to him wandering around his neighborhood. The cops tell him that they don�t need him to follow the kid, but they want to know where the kid is. He gets out of his car, to get a handle on where he is and where the kid is.
Even though the kid had time to walk home, he doesn�t, the kid decides to confront the guy. A fight ensues. The kid is on top of the guy, punching him and beating his head into the concrete. As a last resort, unable to roll the kid off of him, he takes out his legally registered side arm and shoots the kid.
The kid dies, tragic, but it happens. I�m not going to carry a pistol and get a butt-whipping at the same time.
There are lessons here. Don�t try to look suspicious because you think it�s cool. If you think that someone is following you, go home. If you decide to fight someone because you think that they are an easy mark, don�t forget about concealed carry permits, if you aren�t careful, you can get shot.

« In Which We Refuse To Play Ourselves »
Where He Lives
by JULIE KLAUSNER
There's this game, Find the Filmmaker, where I decide from the characters in a movie which one of them best represents the point of view of the person who wrote it. Unless, of course, it's a Nora Ephron movie, and then I have to play Find the Remote, so I can turn the channel to Cake Boss before Meg Ryan hates her neck. He's the Cake Boss!
In Broadcast News, I figured James L. Brooks was half-Holly Hunter and half-Albert Brooks, because he's smart enough to hate himself, but can only do so in the form of a tiny Brunette who looks like a ninja when she wears polka dots.
It's easy to play Find the Filmmaker in an Apatow film: you just split Paul Rudd's Awkward with the guy who's making you LOL. And with Kevin Smith, it's not even a game, because all of his characters congeal into one many-mouthed monster with his voice. How funny that he casts himself in his movies as the "silent" one! Kadooze, Mr. Smith!
But it's trickier than you'd think to find Woody Allen in his films, because sometimes he's not playing him. And I'm not talking about that minstrel show, Celebrity, starring Kenneth Branagh in Jewface.
I mean in Hannah and Her Sisters. You're so distracted by Allen's character, Mickey, with his hypochondria and suicidal tendencies and cartoonishly Jewish family and his comedy writing job, that you forget to look elsewhere for Woody. Because there are deeper strains of him marbled into the flesh of the more dangerous narcissists in Hannah, starting with Michael Caine's character, Elliot.
When we first meet Elliot, we learn from his earnest voiceover about his debilitating crush on his wife's sister. He's married to Mia Farrow's Hannah, but ends up cheating on her with Barbara Hershey's Lee; the one who competes with the rain for having the smallest hands. Elliot feels bad about acting on his urges, but he still does what he likes, and manages to compliment his huge brain in the process. "For all my education, accomplishments, and so-called wisdom," he muses to the world's most underpaid psychoanalyst, " I can't fathom my own heart."
Elliot is the worst. His villainy is so odious, it earned Caine an Oscar five years before Hopkins won for his Hannibal Lecter. When Elliot yells at Hannah, fresh from being wounded by her sister's rejection of him, and tells her it's "hard to be around someone who gives so much and needs so little in return," it is heartbreaking to watch, in the shadow of Allen's and Farrow's real life break-up.
Because the cruelty of using poor, fabulous Michael Caine to say what you can't, in public, to your partner once she is out of character, exceeds the terrain of narcissism and bleeds into some kind of gruesome art. Making this movie to talk to Mia about her adoption hobby, her selflessness, and her general wishy-washiness was a poisonous simulacrum—like talking through one of your Barbies during playtime with your sister. And nobody should learn they're adopted from Skipper.
In one scene, after excusing her and Woody's actual children, Moses and Satchel, from the dinner table, Mia, as Hannah, turns to a brooding Elliot. She's dressed in a tie and a vest, with rolled-up shirt sleeves, like a grown-up Annie Hall, but good for more than just the eggs. And when Hannah asks Elliot if he loves somebody else, he snaps her head off.
"Supposing I said 'yes.' 'I am disenchanted. I am in love in love with someone else,'" he baits. People who do despicable acts enjoy tempting the boundaries of their wrongdoing and its consequence. It's why serial killers go back to their crime scenes—it's not just for voyeuristic thrills or Wicca rites.
"Are you?" Hannah asks. And then, the longest pause since The Countess took a drink of water before telling that poor black girl she was too fat to be a model.
Woody doesn't just live in that pause, in Elliot's cognizance of his bad choice to lie. He's in Frederick, Lee's older artiste beau, who protests "I don't sell my work by the yard" when rock star Daniel Stern shops his studio for a painting that matches his ottoman. He's in Mickey's father, who shuts down his son's neurotic philosophizing: "How the hell do I know why there were Nazi's. I don't know how the can opener works." And he is in Hannah's father, the patriarch holding court with grace at the piano, who tolerates his diva wife's occasional hysterics.
But maybe most of all, Woody is in Dianne Wiest's Holly—his character's adversary-cum-soul mate. The one who wandered professional callings the way Mickey traversed religions; the girl who got passed over for Carrie Fisher by an architect who liked opera; the downtown crackerjack who could pull off a sailor shirt and a beret and still manage to look fuckable. And the one whose observations are at once, the most self-deprecating and astute. Holly ends up being a screenwriter—and a great one.
And Holly is the one Hannah eviscerates. Poor Hannah never got to dig her talons into Elliot, the man who cheated on her, nor Lee, the sister who betrayed her. Instead, Hannah attacks Holly once she finds out she's been written about in one of her scripts.
"People always look for clues [about me] in my movies. . . no matter how many times I've told them over the years I make this stuff up," Woody Allen told NPR this month. But whatever he believes out loud in the company of Terry Gross doesn't exonerate Allen from using himself in his own work, or writing about people he loves in a way that's so revealing it can actually hurt. "I'm real upset about what you wrote," Hannah tells Holly, who's done nothing but successfully test her patience until that moment. And Holly, defending herself, responds like anyone who makes art from of what they know to be true about people they love: "It's a made up story!"

Misleading Scientific American Report On Traffic Cameras
from the not-always dept
After digging in, it looks like some of this may just be bad reporting by Scientific American's Cynthia Graber. First, she focuses the article on red light cameras, but the actual study she discusses was for speed cameras. I'm surprised that Scientific American would mix up the two, since they're clearly different. Second, as some people pointed out in the comments to Graber's story, the study happened over a two year period during which unemployment in Barcelona shot up drastically, potentially leading to fewer cars on the road, especially during rush hour periods when accidents are most likely. In other words, while this might be some evidence in support of speed cameras, at best, it shows a correlation, and the causal factor may be something entirely different, such as the amount of cars on the road.

For a Jersey guy, Gov. Chris Christie sure loves to talk about Detroit. He did it in February during his budget address. He did it again last week, after he vetoed several tax hikes intended to pay for overdue pension payments in the state budget.
"The fact is, what the 40-year-old state worker should be concerned about right now is getting reform because if they just put their heads in the sand, then we will have a Detroit-like problem in New Jersey, in Illinois, in California and lots of other states across the country," Christie said.
Detroit's problem, Christie has said, is not the failure of making pension payments — but making unrealistic promises of them in the first place.
Similar promises have brought a stark reality to New Jersey.
And while federal bankruptcy law does not provide states with the ability to declare Chapter 9 bankruptcy — as Detroit did last year — that doesn't mean New Jersey is too big to fail.
Just because a state can't officially declare itself bankrupt doesn't mean it isn't in danger of being there.
Some may finally be listening to what Christie has been saying all along.
Patrick O'Keefe, director of economic research for CohnReznick in Roseland, said he believes New Jersey is "on a highway that if you stay on it and drive the current speed," the inevitable destination is not Detroit, but perhaps more appropriately "default city."
"There are exits along the way, but thus far we've chosen to ignore them," O'Keefe said.
That's evident in a Bloomberg report last week noting that a recent upgrade to California's credit rating by Moody's Investors Service had placed the state a level above New Jersey for the first time since 1977. According to Moody's, which issued a credit downgrade to the Garden State earlier this year, New Jersey is second only to Illinois for the worst credit rating in the country.
The state also received downgrades this year from Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor's, the latter of which followed up last month to warn the state that Christie's pension plans could bring on future downgrades.
O'Keefe said the downgrades pose a bigger threat than just bad press for the state. Interest rates grow with increased risk and investment in bonds becomes a challenge.
"That's how financial crises come to pass," he said.
Sujit CanagaRetna, a fiscal policy manager for the nonpartisan Council of State Governments, said that many of New Jersey's fiscal obstacles are not unique to the state.
Shortchanged pension obligations, unrealistic revenue forecasts and overreliance on "one-time fixes" are some of the contributing factors to New Jersey's current situation, but they are also played out time and time again in other states, CanagaRetna said.
He said that's all in addition to a general unwillingness by politicians to raise taxes in order to meet budget demands, an approach Christie has demonstrated not just in the current budget debate, but throughout his tenure in Trenton.
"Raising taxes is so politically toxic," CanagaRetna said.
But tax hikes are just as toxic for the state's business community, said Michael Egenton, New Jersey Chamber of Commerce senior vice president of government relations.
Egenton said the state's fiscal woes began before Christie and may well continue after him, but "good leadership" by the governor has many in the business community feeling that New Jersey can weather the storm.
That is, if everyone in Trenton is willing to come to the table, he said.
"If we don't do what the governor suggests and tackle these hard issues head-on, yeah, we could end up like a Detroit or something worse," Egenton said.
That something worse could be California, say, circa 2010.
The Golden State, one of those comparable states Christie mentioned last week, got as close to fiscal insolvency in the past few years as any other state in recent memory, but then took "fairly dramatic actions to realign its fiscal flow," O'Keefe said.
In issuing its upgrade to California last month, Moody's cited the state's "rapidly improving financial position, high but declining debt metrics, adjusted net pension liability ratios that are close to the state median, strong liquidity and robust employment growth." And while noting that the state's tax structure and restrictive governmental climate remain obstacles, Moody's said it has seen "recent governance changes and proposals that are meant to address those longstanding issues."
The agency's outlook for California is now stable and expectant of growth, but its most recent assessment of New Jersey is "negative," with the belief that going into the next fiscal year, "solutions will be increasingly challenging."
So, can the Garden State right the ship?
"I try to see the glass half-full," Egenton said.
E-mail to: firstname.lastname@example.com
On Twitter: @andrgeorge
According to Moody's, here are some of the things in California that has helped improve its rating:
Large and diverse economy: You can't match California, but N.J. does well here.
High wealth, stronger liquidity: We know many are fleeing N.J., but the same holds true for California.
Significant improvement in budget deficits through revenue surges and conservative measures to rein in spending: That's going to be tough.
Governance improvement leading to on-time budgets for the past three years: See previous answer.

EPA Awards Over $1 Million in Brownfields Grants to Somerville, Mass.
Release Date: 08/20/2012
Contact Information: Paula Haschig, (617) 918-1027
(Boston, Mass. – August 20, 2012) EPA is providing over $1million in Brownfields grants to the city of Somerville, Massachusetts. The City is receiving three cleanup grants valued at $600,000 to remediate three parcels associated with the Kiley Barrel site in the Union Square neighborhood. The City is also receiving $450,000 in Revolving Loan Fund Supplemental funding to cleanup properties in the vicinity of the Kiley Barrel site.
The cleanup funding will be used remediate contaminated soils associated with a former barrel cleaning and reclamation facility. The City has previously received three EPA Brownfields cleanup grants in 2011 for three other former Kiley Barrel sites. A comprehensive cleanup of this area will allow the City to move forward with a transit oriented, mixed-use redevelopment that is zoned to create 300,000 SF of commercial space and 300,000 SF of residential space, 800 construction jobs and 500 permanent jobs.
"EPA Brownfields funding helps strengthen the economic foundation and is a catalyst for further growth in our communities," said Curt Spalding, regional administrator of EPA New England's office. "Cleaning and revitalizing contaminated sites helps create jobs, and can help a community to create new businesses and neighborhood centers, while making our environment cleaner and the community healthier."
"Union Square is one of Somerville's most vibrant neighborhoods, and these federal EPA funds will help contribute to its growth," said Congressman Michael Capuano. "The Brownfields Grants awarded today will help continue the transformation of the Kiley Barrel site, resulting in the creation of additional residential and commercial space, as well as hundreds of jobs."
"As Governor Patrick and I continue to work with communities like Somerville to redevelop Brownfield sites, the U.S. EPA has been a valuable partner in driving critical funds and technical assistance to support clean up and revitalization," said Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray. "Through this successful collaboration, we are delivering significant funds to the former Kiley Barrel site and we are paving the way for economic development opportunities in the near future."
"We are extremely thankful to Lieutentant Governor Tim Murray and his Brownfield Support Team, the EPA, DEP and MassDevelopment for their continued support of and investment in Union Square by funding the assessment and cleanup of Kiley Barrel," said Mayor Joe Curtatone. "With this latest round of generous grant funds, we will begin the cleanup phase which will subsequently launch our entire Revitalization Plan for Union Square, including the construction of a Green Line Station through an MOA with MassDOT and MBTA. We have many exciting projects to look forward to in Union Square, due in large part to the support of grants like these."
"The three contributions that MassDevelopment has made for site assessment and environmental remediation of the former Kiley Barrel site testify to the importance of this parcel in the revitalization of Union Square," said MassDevelopment President and CEO Marty Jones. "We appreciate the support from our federal funding partners at EPA, and know that this project would not have proceeded to this point without the leadership of Lieutenant Governor Murray, MassDOT Secretary Davey, and Mayor Curtatone."
"MassDOT is pleased to participate in initiatives such as the Brownfields Support Team that promote smart growth and healthy transportation modes," said MassDOT Secretary and CEO Richard A. Davey. "With key investments made by the Patrick-Murray Administration in the Green Line Extension project, MassDOT and the MBTA will provide a new transit station at Union Square that will play a significant role in the revitalization of the Kiley Barrel site."
"These state and federal awards will help to advance the cleanup of this contaminated site, a former drum reclamation facility that is currently vacant and fenced," said MassDEP Commissioner Kenneth Kimmell. "MassDEP provided assessment funds to this project in the past, and we were happy to serve as the lead agency coordinating and hosting the meetings of the Somerville Brownfield Support Team."
"HUD congratulates the City of Somerville on achieving these grants," said Kristine Foye, HUD New England deputy regional administrator. "We're proud to be partners with EPA in building strong sustainable communities throughout New England that connect housing with transportation, jobs and a healthy living environment."
Since the beginning of EPA's Brownfields Program, in New England alone EPA has awarded 296 assessment grants totaling $72.7 million, 62 revolving loan fund grants and supplemental funding totaling $68.4 million and 213 cleanup grants totaling $47 million. These grant funds have paved the way for more than $1.45 billion in public and private cleanup and redevelopment investment and for 9,756 jobs in assessment, cleanup, construction and redevelopment on over 2200 sites across New England.
Nationally, the figures are impressive: As of August 2012, EPA's Brownfields assistance has leveraged more than $18.3 billion in cleanup and redevelopment funding from a variety of public and private sources and helped create approximately 76,500 jobs. More than 18,500 properties have been assessed, and over 750 properties have been cleaned up. These investments and jobs target local, under-served and economically disadvantaged neighborhoods – places where environmental cleanups and new jobs are most needed.

EMMA HINDBAUGH: A life cut short by cancer
SOUTH WHITLEY — Graceful. Strong. Warm. Caring. These are words used to describe Emma Hindbaugh, of Columbia City, who passed away Jan. 8 at the age of 6.Having battled cancer for more than three years, Emma was sick for half of her life, but that did not diminish the impact she had on those she came in contact with.She attended Faith Christian Academy, Columbia City, where classmates and faculty held fundraisers to offset medical expenses and rallied around Emma to cheer her on in her fight."She was the second student in our school to have cancer," said FCA's Administrator Larry Schmoekel. "She helped us all to realize that cancer happens to kids. She was loved and we all miss her very much."Schmoekel said he heard about Emma's death during the school day, but opted to not share that information with students, but rather let parents discuss it with their children.However, the next day, Schmoekel said students responded with an out-pouring of support."Emma's class told me they were happy she was in heaven and now she would feel better and get to run and play," Schmoekel said. "A classmate made a card to send to Emma's parents that said, 'we prayed for Emma to get better, and boom! God did a miracle and took her where she was all better. God needed her up there.'"Fighting for lifeIt was that support and encouragement that gave Emma's parents, Brittany and Corey, what they needed to cope with Emma's illness, and in the end, her passing."When we first learned about Emma's illness, all the emotions were just so overwhelming," Corey said. "The support of family and friends was so helpful. My work rallied right away to give us a donation and so many people supported fundraisers for Emma."Brittany established a CaringBridge website to share Emma's progress with those that wanted to stay abreast of her prognosis. The website allows readers to be updated through an online blog.Part of Emma's treatment was conducted at Riley's Children Hospital in Indianapolis."She was a trooper and was excellent with the doctors," said Brittany. "It didn't take long for her to realize when the nurses came she was going to get poked," said Corey. "She wasn't as excited to see them, but she always listened to what the doctors were saying."Brittany and Corey both commended the medical staff at Riley for the support and treatment they received. Even though Emma was receiving medical treatment, her parents refused to let her be treated as anything other than normal."You don't allow her to be different. You won't her to feel like a normal little girl, " said Brittany. "There is hope in that. You have to hold on to hope and not settle for anything less than the belief that she is going to get better."Dealing with the reality that someone as young as Emma would have to endure chemotherapy and radiation would be enough to challenge any parent's resolve.But Corey juggled both emotion and responsibility — wanting desperately to be by his daughter's side every moment of her fight, but also having to continue to be the family's bread winner."I was torn. I don't know how I did it. I guess I did it because I didn't have any other choice," Corey said. "I don't think Brittany and I are anything special. We just did what we had to do to get through."Parenting responsibilities.While Emma was fighting to survive, Brittany and Corey had two other daughters to raise. Meredith, 2 and Alena, 4, watched as their big sister went for numerous doctors appointments.When Emma's diagnosis was given to Brittany, she had just found out she was pregnant with Meredith. "I went to a lot of doctor's appointments with Meredith in a pack-and-play," Brittany said. "Emma loved having her there. She would get in her bed and snuggle up with Meredith."Now that Emma has passed, her sisters are reminded that Emma is no longer sick."We talk about Emma a lot and look at pictures," said Brittany. "We remember that Emma is happy and healthy and not sick anymore."Devestating newsIn April of 2012, Brittany and Corey found out that Emma's cancer had returned. After believing the worst was behind them, the family had to dig down deep to find the strength and courage to fight again."It was like a kick in the gutt, " Brittany said. "I was by myself when I found out Emma was sick again. We had to go through several tests that day. When Emma had fallen asleep, I sat there and cried and cried. But when she woke up, I had to pretend it was all fine and put on that brave face again for her."Corey and Brittany knew after the doctor's evaluations that any treatments would only buy them time with Emma. The summer of 2012 was a chance for the family to enjoy Emma."She had her energy and her personality," Corey said. "It was fun to get to know her like that. The girls really enjoyed getting to have their sister."As the final months came to a close, Emma's family gathered around her to soak up as much of her as possible."I spent every moment with her. I held her as much as I could," Brittany said. "The day she passed away she wanted me to hold her," Corey said. "We just knew it was getting to be that time."Reality checkEven though Emma has passed away, there are still daily reminders of her brief life. Walking into Brittany's South Whitley home, a pink Cinderella activity table sits next to the dining set."That was one of Emma's Christmas presents," Corey said."I still cry a lot. It's still so fresh." Brittany said. "My days were all about her and being with her."Tears raced down Brittany's face as she described life without Emma. Corey, a strong, solid father figure, was over come with emotion as he thought about having a chance to see Emma once more."I would just love to give her a hug — a big squeeze," he said."That last day I spent crying over her, and I kept saying I was sorry," Brittany said. "You feel so bad that you can't do anything. As a mother, you don't ever want to see your kids hurting. I just wanted Emma to know that I was sorry and that I loved her. I wish I could touch her and tell her I love her again."One of the harsh reminders of Emma's passing is the continuation of medical bills."The bills don't stop coming even though she's gone," Corey said. "It can seem overwhelming. Dealing with the insurance companies is exhausting, but it has to be done."The expenses that are not covered by insurance were incidental items Brittany said she did not even think about."Insurance doesn't cover meals and gas. That is extra expenses when you're having to go to Indy," she said.But donations came to help cover some expenses, although Corey said taking the money was difficult at first."People give money when they don't know how else to help. I eventually got over it and accepted it," said Corey. "I just hope we have the opportunity in the future to return the favor."Brittany agreed. "We could never say thank you enough. I can't even get caught up on thank you cards. There were just so many that helped," she said. "I hope they all know how much we appreciate each and every one of them that gave."Memorializing a lifeAt Emma's funeral, memorials were made to CureSearch for Children's Cancer, an organization that funds and supports children's cancer research and provides information and resources to those affected.In the end, more than $3,000 was donated in Emma's memory. "That means so much. What they do is so important," Brittany said. "I don't think most people know that when a child has cancer, there is no specific drug for kids. They get the exact same medicine at the same strength as an adult."Finding a treatment specific for children is part of CureSearch's mission.Another way the family has chosen to honor Emma's memory is by planning a memorial garden at Corey's home.Emma's life was cut short by cancer, but her family wants to hold on to the memories of what time they did have with her."She was special and warm. People loved her and she loved them. She was graceful and had so much to give," Brittany said. "We want to remember her that way."

Kurdish rebels warn Turkey on pace of peace talks
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Kurdish rebels on Friday gave Turkey a "final warning" to take steps that would move forward peace talks aimed at ending a 30-year old conflict that has claimed tens of thousands of lives.
The Kurdistan Workers Party, which is known as PKK and has been fighting Turkey for autonomy, did not say what it would do if its demand was not met — or if it planned to resume fighting. The warning came at a time when concerns are high over Syrian Kurdish forces taking control of areas in Syria near the border with Turkey.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Friday Turkey would take all necessary measures against threats to its border while Turkey's military this week retaliated to stray bullets fired from across the frontier as the Syrian Kurdish fighters battled Syrian rebels for control of a major town in northern Syria. Turkish fighter jets, meanwhile, were engaged in reconnaissance flights over the frontier area with Syria, the private Dogan news agency reported.
The PKK declared a cease-fire in March and began withdrawing fighters from Turkey into bases in northern Iraq in May, as part of peace efforts initiated last year. Turkey is expected to enact a series of reforms to improve the rights of Kurds in the country as part of the efforts.
The rebels and Kurdish politicians have repeatedly called on Turkey to start introducing the reforms. But Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government, which insists it is committed to the peace process, maintains the rebel's retreat from the Turkish territory into bases in northern Iraq is not yet complete.
"Our movement is giving the ... government a final warning," read a rebel statement carried by Firat news agency, which is close to the rebels. "In the event that concrete steps are not taken at the shortest time, the process will not advance and the government will be held responsible."
The statement said the government was expected to initiate reforms to boost the rights of Kurds as of June 1 and accused it of failing to carry out "its duties." It also accused the government of "sabotaging" peace efforts by refusing to allow an independent group of doctors to visit the PKK's jailed leader Abdullah Ocalan on his prison island off Istanbul and of delaying meetings between him and a group of Kurdish politicians who are involved in the peace process.
Any resumption of the fighting with the PKK would be an added headache for Erdogan. Last month, tens of thousands of people held the largest anti-government protests in decades to denounce what they said is his increasing authoritarian streak and efforts to impose conservative religious views on society.
Heightening Turkish concerns, Kurds in Syria have carved out a degree of independence in areas close to the Turkish border and this week a Kurdish group in Syria took control of a major town of Ras al-Ayn, after fierce battles with rebels from radical Islamic groups. The Kurdish group, the Democratic Union Party, or PYD — is seen as an offshoot of the PKK.
Stray bullets from the fighting hit a Turkish border town, killing one teenager and injuring at least four other people. The Turkish military said it had retaliated on Wednesday and Firat said the military had targeted Syrian Kurdish positions in Ras al-Ayn.
"The Turkish armed forces have, in line with their rules of engagement, given the necessary response to the fire," Davutoglu said during a joint news conference with his Greek counterpart. "As of now, the most effective measure will be taken against any kind of threat against our border security — whichever group that threat may come from — and an immediate response will be given."
The PKK statement on Friday also accused the government of supporting the radical Islamic groups against the Kurdish fighters in Syria, further impeding the peace efforts. Turkey rejects that accusation.
The PKK, which took up arms in 1984, is considered a terrorist organization by Turkey's allies in the West.
Kurds run their own autonomous region in northern Iraq. There are fears that a similar model in Syria could strengthen long-standing Kurdish demands for an independent homeland for the more than 25 million Kurds in parts of Turkey, Iran, Syria and Iraq.

Partying Teens Wreck $500,000 Home Trying To Copycat The Hit Movie Project X!
"A group of teenagers have been accused of wrecking a $500,000 home in a copycat of the film 'Project X.' The teens threw a party at the empty Texas home before going on a wrecking spree with the building owners saying it looked like it had been hit by a tornado. Nearly every window in the Houston home had been smashed, and walls kicked in. Police arrested 13 people Friday after being called to the property by a private investigator working for the builders who owned the property. Investigator Mark Stephens said when he quizzed the teens over the damage they told him they were copying what happened in the film Project X. "

Soldier Sues Because He Insists Movie 'Hurt Locker' Must Have Been Based On His Life
from the let's-explain-how-this-works... dept
The fine folks over at The Hollywood Reporter have gotten their hands on the actual complaint (pdf) and explain how Sarver hopes to get around the pesky First Amendment with some creative lawyering:
According to the complaint, before [screenwriter] Boal was embedded with the military, he and Playboy agreed to "ground rules" set by the Department of Defense. One of the rules was that reporters would be restricted in the type of personal information they could report on a service member. Reporters were limited to releasing a member's name and hometown only, and only on the condition the service member had provided consent.This still seems like a huge long shot by someone who feels entitled to something he has no actual legal rights over. Even if the story was completely based on Sarver (and the filmmakers claim that it was a fictional story), it's hard to see any courtroom outcome that leads to him getting a cut of the film, as he's requesting. Of course, it's amusing to note that while he claims the movie was based on him, he's also claiming defamation, in that the movie portrays him in false light (such as in that the character is a bad father). So, wait. Isn't that effectively admitting that the character in the movie is not him and is, indeed, a fictional character? Of course, we did write about one case last year that stunningly found that a fictional character can be libelous, but we're still hoping that was an aberration that won't be repeated.
Was this agreement sufficient to give Sarver a stake in the story and film? He says so. Another claim in the lawsuit is for breach of contract. Another is violation of privacy.

US futures rise despite looming budget cuts
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock futures are rising even with automatic budget cuts just days away, should a political impasse in Washington not be resolved.
Dow Jones industrial futures are up 62 points to 14,043. The broader S&P futures have added 8.2 points to 1,522.80. Nasdaq futures are up 21.75 points to 2,757.50.
Leaders from both parties sought over the weekend to blame each other for $85 billion in budget cuts that will kick in Friday if no new agreement is reached, threatening everything from the nation's airlines to its schools.
Driving futures higher are strong U.S. corporate earns and buyouts.
Lowe's posted surprisingly a strong profit for the fourth quarter Monday, though its earnings outlook was weaker than expected.
And Barnes & Noble Chairman Leonard Riggio is trying to buy the company's stores and website.

Skip to comments.The Curious Tale of Asteroid Hermes (Look up this week and watch asteroid sail by!)
Posted on 11/03/2003 2:41:03 PM PST by mhking
For the next few days backyard astronomers can see for themselves the long lost asteroid Hermes.
Science@NASA -- It's dogma now: an asteroid hit Earth 65 million years ago and wiped out the dinosaurs. But in 1980 when scientists Walter and Luis Alvarez first suggested the idea to a gathering at the American Association for Advancement of Sciences, their listeners were skeptical. Asteroids hitting Earth? Wiping out species? It seemed incredible.
At that very moment, unknown to the audience, an asteroid named Hermes halfway between Mars and Jupiter was beginning a long plunge toward our planet. Six months later it would pass 300,000 miles from Earth's orbit, only a little more than the distance to the Moon. Rhetorically speaking, this would have made a great point in favor of the Alvarezes. Curiously, though, no one noticed the flyby.
1980 wasn't the first time Hermes had sailed by unremarked. Hermes is a good-sized asteroid, easy to see, and a frequent visitor to Earth's neighborhood. Yet astronomers had gotten into the habit of missing it. How this came to be is a curious tale, which begins in Germany just before World War II:
On Oct. 28, 1937, astronomer Karl Reinmuth of Heidelberg noticed an odd streak of light in a picture he had just taken of the night sky. About as bright as a 9th magnitude star, it was an asteroid, close to Earth and moving fast -- so fast that he named it Hermes, the herald of Olympian gods.
On Oct. 30, 1937, Hermes glided past Earth only twice as far away as the Moon, racing across the sky at a rate of 5 degrees per hour. Nowadays only meteors and Earth-orbiting satellites move faster.
Plenty of asteroids were known in 1937, but most were plodding members of the asteroid belt far beyond Mars. Hermes was different. It visited the inner solar system. It crossed Earth's orbit. It proved that asteroids could come perilously close to our planet. And when they came, they came fast.
Reinmuth observed Hermes for five days. Then, to make a long story short, he lost it.
Hermes approaches Earth's orbit twice every 777 days. Usually our planet is far away when the orbit crossing happens, but in 1937, 1942, 1954, 1974 and 1986, Hermes came harrowingly close to Earth itself. We know about most of these encounters only because Lowell Observatory astronomer Brian Skiff re-discovered Hermes on Oct. 15, 2003.
Astronomers around the world have been tracking it carefully ever since. Orbit-specialists Steve Chesley and Paul Chodas of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) have used the new observations to trace Hermes' path backwards in time, and so they identified all the unnoticed flybys.
"It's a little unnerving," says Chodas. "Hermes has sailed by Earth so many times and we didn't even know it."
"Hermes' orbit is the most chaotic of all near-Earth asteroids," he adds. This is because the asteroid is so often tugged by Earth's gravity. Hermes has occasional close encounters with Venus, too. In 1954 the asteroid flew by both planets.
"That was a real orbit scrambler," Chodas says. Frequent encounters with Earth and Venus make it hard to forecast Hermes' path much more than a century in advance. The good news is that "Hermes won't approach Earth any closer than about 0.02 AU within the next hundred years." We're safe for now.
Using the JPL ephemeris, we can look back and figure out what happened in 1937 when the asteroid was lost. With hindsight, it's understandable:
Reinmuth first spotted Hermes approaching Earth from the direction of the asteroid belt. At first it was easy to see because the asteroid's sunlit side was facing Earth. Speedy Hermes soon crossed Earth's orbit, however, and began turning its night side toward us.
Asteroids are nearly as dark as charcoal, and their night sides are very dim. By Nov. 3rd, six days after its discovery, the asteroid had faded from 9th to 21st magnitude, a factor of 60,000. "Hermes was also heading into the sun's glare, which only made matters worse," notes Chodas. Hermes literally vanished.
No one seemed to care, not much. In 1937, World War II was about to begin in Europe, so people had a lot on their minds. Hermes failed to impress.
Says Chodas: "Astronomers of the day were somewhat biased, perhaps. They had convinced themselves that collisions were too rare to consider. Hermes didn't change their opinion because catastrophism was not in vogue."
It's in vogue now--largely because of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 (SL9), an object discovered by people hunting for Hermes. Found in 1993 by Gene and Carolyn Shoemaker and David Levy, SL9 hit Jupiter in July 1994 with much of the world watching on CNN.
Long before the collision, SL9 had been torn apart by Jupiter's powerful tides. The largest fragments, coincidentally about the same size as asteroid Hermes, exploded with such force when they struck that dark clouds formed in Jupiter's atmosphere as large as Earth itself.
A message from Jupiter: Catastrophes happen.
"Gene always felt that Hermes should have done more to excite the world than it did at the time" recalls David Levy. "Indeed, he and his wife Carolyn were always hoping to find it."
Shoemaker was a visionary who realized long before most others did that asteroids and comets posed an ongoing threat to Earth. In the late 1970's he and a few colleagues began to hunt for near-Earth objects using an 18-inch telescope at the Palomar Observatory.
For a long while it was the only such survey on Earth. They discovered dozens of asteroids and comets, including SL9 -- but not Hermes. "When Hermes passed by Earth in 1986 (an encounter identified post-facto by Chodas) it should have been an easy target for us," notes Levy. "But the telescope was down for repairs." Shoemaker died in 1997 not knowing how close he came.
Now backyard astronomers around the world can do something Gene Shoemaker never did -- see Hermes.
Hermes is fast approaching Earth, and on Nov. 4th it will pass by our planet 18 times farther away than the moon. Already the asteroid is about as bright as a 13th magnitude star -- an easy target for 8-inch telescopes equipped with CCD cameras. Where should you point your 'scope? Consult the JPL Ephemeris for details.
In recent days a group of NASA-supported astronomers led by Jean-Luc Margot of UCLA have pinged the asteroid with radar pulses from the giant Arecibo antenna in Puerto Rico. Hermes, it turns out, is a double asteroid -- two space rocks orbiting one another, each about 400 meters across.
No one knows how Hermes came to be this way. Margot and colleagues hope to learn more when the asteroid passes by on Nov. 4th as they continue their observations using both Arecibo and NASA's Goldstone radar.
Now that Hermes has our attention, it might teach us a few things after all.
Hermes orbit which brings it into the inner Solar System every 777 days
If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
Interesting number.
Remember, it's actually two asteroids approximately 400 meters in diameter each. Depending on the angle of impact, if both struck two different regions of this planet, or if both struck America, it would kill literally millions upon million of people, and I have no doubt, it would be a climate changing event for this planet, for some years to follow.....
Story of my life.
I always die before knowing how close I came.
.........you'll still enjoy the show.
Boy, you must have really knocked the bottom out of that.

Esperanza Muñiz, assistant dean of women at Lamson Hall, passed away Friday, Oct. 14, 2011. Born Sept. 1, 1970, in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, Esperanza was the daughter of Jose Manuel Alvarez and Lidia Mercedes Duran. She was the fourth of five siblings, two sisters and three brothers: Rhadames, Dilia, Ignacio, Esperanza, and Jose Manuel.
Esperanza attended Hunter College in New York where she majored in Black and Puerto Rican Studies and graduated in 1979 with a double major in Spanish Literature. In 2007 she graduated from Andrews University with a Master of Divinity.
Esperanza's passion was always for young people. As a child, Esperanza would often gather her cousins and baby brother and pretend she was their teacher. Often she would have 12 or more participants in her class. She led Pathfinders, taught youth Sabbath School, worked as a bilingual education teacher in the public schools of New York City and spent two years working as an elementary school teacher at Bronx-Manhattan Seventh-day Adventist School in New York City. Always looking for another way to minister, Esperanza felt God was calling her to do more. While preparing a youth Sabbath school program, she was encouraged to attend a ministerial training seminar led by José Cortez. At the seminar, a call went out for young people to do the work of preparing the next generation. Esperanza asked God to show her what His will was. After talking to Pastor Cortez, Esperanza decided to attend the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University.
While a student at the Seminary, Esperanza worked as a student dean at Lamson Hall. After graduation from the Seminary, she returned to teach at the Bronx-Manhattan Seventh-day Adventist School. Lydia Morales, a parent of a Bronx-Manhattan student, remembers, "She was my son's teacher. We shared so many things that year: the happiness of her nuptials, the sadness of a student's death, the triumph of more than one student, too many things to list…she was an excellent teacher. Never a harsh word was heard from her lips. She imparted not only her knowledge but her kind and Christ-like manner to her students and to those she came in contact with."
In May 2008, Esperanza married Paul Muñiz, whom she met while she was fulfilling her NADEI requirements (North American Division Evangelism Institute). Esperanza had asked God to send her a sign when the time was right for her to marry: her future husband would read her Joshua 1:9. Paul and Esperanza began to grow their friendship, and one day, God led Paul to read Joshua 1:9. Esperanza said the Lord had confirmed that they were to be husband and wife.
That same year, Esperanza received an invitation to return to Lamson Hall as assistant dean of women. Two months after her marriage, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. But her indomitable spirit and love for the women in the dorm wouldn't allow her to quit work while she underwent treatment. Two years later, after two surgeries and nine sessions of chemotherapy, she was declared cancer-free.
Esperanza means "hope" in Spanish, and Dean Muniz truly was hope, inspiration and joy to all those who knew her. Within moments of hearing of her death, hundreds of messages and condolences were posted online and on Facebook. Students, alumni, faculty and friends across the country remembered her life of faith, her dedication to her students and her love for others. A message online from Nancy Rodriguez, a friend and former student, recalls, "Esperanza was not ashamed to speak about her love for God. She was always willing to serve and praise His name for everything! …She was the purest and sweetest person I have ever known. I feel blessed and privileged to have had Esperanza as my spiritual mentor and my friend."
Current students recalled her impact on their lives as well. An anonymous message recalled the care for her students that Muñiz showed daily: "She was someone who you could tell loved God very much, and loved taking care of His girls here in Lamson. Just last evening she was walking around 3rd floor writing messages on dry-erase boards hanging on some of the doors. I remember thinking she must care for us. I'm very sorry for the loss of such a beautiful example of God's love, and I pray for comfort and healing for her family."
Later that weekend, three message boards were placed around campus so students and faculty could write prayers and messages of remembrance. The deans of Lamson Hall plan to dedicate the recently completed prayer room to her memory. Memorial services were held on Saturday, Oct. 22, at Pioneer Memorial Church in Berrien Springs, Mich. and in New York City on Tuesday, Oct. 25.
She is survived by her husband, Paul, her sister Dilia Alvarez; her brothers Rhadames Duran, Ignacio Alvarez and Jose Manuel Alvarez; her mother, Lidia Mercedes Duran; seven nieces, five nephews, one grandniece, and Chico the dog.
When her brother Ignacio became a Christian, Esperanza made a pact with him to meet at 3 p.m. at the Tree of Life in heaven. Not only will she meet her brother, but the hundreds whose lives she touched wait to greet her again.
Esperanza Alvarez-Muñiz, 1970-2011

ETBU Announces Two New Endowed Scholarships for Students
MARSHALL - East Texas Baptist University announces the establishment of the Ross Avenue Baptist Church Endowed Undergraduate and Graduate Scholarships. ETBU President Dr. Dub Oliver and Dr. Terry Clower, representing the Ross Avenue Baptist Church Foundation, signed the scholarship documents in the Office of the President on November 26, 2012.
The graduate scholarship, which is the first graduate endowed scholarship to be established at ETBU, will benefit students who are enrolled in the Master of Arts in Religion program. Students who are in their sophomore, junior, or senior year from Dallas County, Texas and who are engaged in a ministry through the ETBU Great Commission Center are eligible for the undergraduate scholarship.
Ross Avenue Baptist Church and the Ross Avenue Baptist Church Foundation established the separate endowments as an expression of their love for the Savior and their desire to support Christian higher education through ETBU. These endowed scholarships are in honor of the faithful members and staff of Ross Avenue Baptist Church.
"These two new scholarships are a tremendous blessing to ETBU," remarked Dr. Oliver. "We are grateful to be a part of the legacy of Ross Avenue Baptist Church. With these scholarships, the work of the church will continue generation after generation as students continually benefit from these endowments."
Ross Avenue Baptist Church began on the east side of Dallas as a mission of First Baptist Church of Dallas in 1898, though some histories place the date as early as 1894. On Good Friday 2002, the sanctuary was destroyed by fire. Members of the church continued to meet for a few more years, but eventually the hard decision was reached for the members to disperse to several other area churches.
The members of the church decided to create the Ross Avenue Baptist Church Foundation to see that the remaining assets of the church be distributed in support of the best traditions of Ross Avenue as a center of worship focused on the teachings of Jesus Christ. The members of the church had a long standing tradition of supporting Christian education. The hope is that the scholarships will encourage students at ETBU to study the role of the modern Baptist Church in ministering to the mind, body, and spirit, of its members and community.
ETBU offers a challenging curriculum in more than 40 areas of study. Graduate programs are currently offered in religion, counseling, and education. Beginning in fall 2013, a graduate program in business will be offered.

I've had a Holland Grill since they first started making them-still cooking with the one I bought about 20 years ago. You will love it once you get used to it.
First, make sure you preheat your grill. I usually preheat mine for about 20 minutes.
Second, a one inch thick hamburger needs more time. A standard 1/2 inch burger takes about 10 minutes per side. You may need to cook a one inch burger an extra five minutes or so depending on how well you want it cooked. Experiment a little until you get the results you want.
You have to have a little patience when cooking on a Holland. They just don't cook as fast as a standard gas grill.

Police: Albuquerque man says clerk mistook stomach scratch for gun during robbery
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – An Albuquerque man facing robbery and larceny charges says he merely scratched his stomach and didn't pull a gun when a grocery store clerk handed him cash.
KRQE-TV reports (http://goo.gl/GHbFQh) that Patrick Silva told police he only asked for change Sunday when a grocery store clerk thought he was robbing her and handed him more than $1,600.
Silva told police anyone handed lots of cash would take it and run, so that's what he did.
But the cashier told authorities Silva threatened to shoot her if she didn't turn over the money during a robbery.
Police found Silva at a nearby gas station lying in the bed of a pickup.
Silva is being held on $10,000 cash or surety bond.
It was not known if he had an attorney.

COE: Haugh '86 Gives Back in Many Waysby Howard Hewitt • August 17, 2012 Share:
Wabash men give back to their College in many ways. Some give back with gifts of time and money. Eli LIlly's Michael Haugh is grateful to Wabash and excited about the Business Leaders Program.
Haugh '86 has come up through the ranks at the giant pharmaceutical company. He currently works as Managing Director of Corporate Strategic Planning.
In the video below he explains he gives back to Wabash because he feels Wabash gave him so much. He also has strong feelings about business opportunities so when the Business Leaders program was launched he supported it with time and a gift. He was on campus this summer to help judge the final projects of summer interns in the Summer Business Immersion Program.

New faculty member brings solar power experience to GCC
September 16, 2013 by Jeff
Filed under Green Energy News
GREENFIELD — There's a new professor on campus this fall — the kind that builds a grease-powered car and dreams of a day when his house will be completely off the electrical grid.
For Michael Kocsmiersky, the newest faculty member of Greenfield Community College's renewable energy/energy efficiency program, it's his first venture into full-time teaching after a career in solar energy.
One of his courses this semester will deal with photovoltaics — the process of converting radiation from the sun into electricity. The 44-year-old Springfield resident has been involved in the solar-energy field for nearly 20 years as a consultant, energy analyst and manager.
And it's photovoltaics that started him on the teaching path a decade ago.
In 2002, he taught a small continuing education course at a New York community college designed for homeowners who wanted to explore their solar-power options. For the past few years, he's taught related courses at community colleges as an adjunct faculty member.
It's the right time and place to be learning about solar energy, he said.
"I tell people, 'Think of it like the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) industry in the '50s,'" said Kocsmiersky. "Fifty years later, nobody builds a building without air conditioning. Hopefully we can shorten the time frame (for photovoltaics)."
And there's few better schools in New England to learn about renewable energy than at GCC, he said. He has known the program's faculty for years through connections at conferences and said he jumped at the opportunity to work here.
When Kocsmiersky first started working with photovoltaics, solar-power options were well known and were expensive. The industry has come a long way since then, especially in the past few years, he said.
"If you have good solar exposure, everyone in Massachusetts should go to solar-electric right now, or a solar hot-water system. … It makes financial sense," he said.
Kocsmiersky's house is equipped with energy-saving measures and he said his seven-member household pays half as much in electricity bills as the average residential customer.
But despite the possible long-term cost savings, many Americans still haven't caught on to solar energy options, said Kocsmiersky. Installing the system can be too much of a financial investment for some, and the relatively cheap price of electricity deters people from making the effort.
Kocsmiersky's house is a giant energy lab, the site of experiments in the latest solar-energy practices. He plans to fully equip his house with light-emitting diode (LED) lights to save energy.
And down the road, he wants to disconnect completely from the grid, relying completely on batteries. Should the solar energy fail to do the job — Kocsmiersky said with a sigh that his house is in a rather shaded area — someone would have to hop on a bicycle to charge the battery.
"You'd really get a feel for how much power you're consuming if you had to bike it all," he said.
He also wants to build his own electric car. During his days at a solar-energy company, his company installed a dual fuel tank and filled it with filtered grease they received from a Chinese restaurant. The hot-water system used to heat the grease was also solar-powered.
Kocsmiersky is excited to learn the ropes at GCC and get more involved with the local community. Some of his time will also be spent at Franklin County Technical School, where GCC has set up an energy auditing lab — a model house for people to practice energy testing.
The college's program brings in about 20 students each year, plus 30 in a certificate program, according to student enrollment data.

Parents and students have long used the SIS system for checking grades and attendance, but now they can also track balances on school meal accounts, pay fees, and apply for free or reduced meals. Check with local school officials during registration for more information on how to set up and manage SIS accounts and notifications.
Parents of students enrolled in Moab Charter School or Grand County schools must complete a new application for the student prior to Sept. 26, according to information from the GCSD food service staff. If a new application is not filled out and approved before that date, full price charges will be charged and the parents will be financially responsible for the debt accrued, according to a news release.
Computers and staff will be available to help with the process during Helen M. Knight Elementary School's Back to School events and registration. For those who need additional assistance, contact Deb Rappe at HMK. The Moab Valley Multicultural Center has also partnered with the school food service staff to assist those who need help with applications. For more information, contact Rhiana Medina at 435-259-5444.
A few other recent changes and items of note have been outlined by Grand County School District's food service department:
• All students will only be allowed to have no more than two meal charges, or $6 total. Parents are responsible for keeping track of the funds in their students' accounts, and are asked to make sure they a balance in their accounts at all times.
• Extra cartons of milk may still be purchased, but their price has doubled from 25 cents to 50 cents. The food service department also said it would be selling larger containers of 100 percent fruit juice, in addition to carbonated water, bottled water and larger milk containers.
• Students may also purchase an extra entrée, side dish or dessert "a la carte," using cash or charging their accounts. Although the cafeterias are not allowed to serve seconds of the main entrée item served on a given day, leftovers may be served as extra items the following day.
Just as it was last year, Grand County High School is an entirely nut-free campus, so peanut butter and similar options won't be available there.
The food service department also said that it has recently purchased new equipment, including a char-broiler to cook hamburgers and grill chicken breasts for sandwiches and salads.

SOCHI, Russia — Concerns about Olympic hotel rooms in Sochi are approaching the absurd.
Russia's Dmitry Kozak, the government's point man for Olympic preparation, apparently told the Wall Street Journal that authorities have surveillance video from hotels showing that people leave the shower on.
Or maybe he said something else.
His spokesman, Ilya Dzhus, said Thursday that "no such thing was ever said." He called the report a fantasy, a joke, or a mistranslation. Hotels have video surveillance of entrances for security purposes, he said, and some rooms had video surveillance during construction.
But never the bathrooms, Dzhus insisted. "You can check yourself."
The reaction was a sign of how defensive Russian officials have become in the face of sustained criticism by journalists of glitches in hotels, all of which were built from scratch for the games that open Friday. Many were not quite finished when guests started arriving, and some rooms still have problems.
