Webcams are great, but usually pretty stationary. The TEROOS robot rides around on your shoulder, allowing someone in a remote location to see things you see. The remote operator can control the direction in which the camera is pointed through a simple PC interface.
Hello Dave,
thanks for sharing this gem of technology.
That "TEROOS Robot" is probably for übernerds to walk around with for now.
Maybe in the future when it's downsized in measurements the normal nerd/geek, like me, wants to walk around with it on their shoulder.
Take care,

koii dost hai na raqiib hai
This a U-tube link to the song for anyone who would like listen to it.
Life is a Great big canvas and you should throw all the paint on it you can. (Danny kaye)
Main akela chala ja raha tha kahin,
Manzelein ajnabi,rahguzar ajnabi,
Ek khidki khuli,ek parda hata,
Ek awaz ayi,Thahar ajnabi.
The ghazal is beautiful
(Jagjit singh is my all time fav)...but i hope you get newer friends and get reconnected to your old friends ...soon soon very soon.
I can not believe it has been three months already! I remember when you wrote the post about your moving...
Yes, it is always so difficult with new beginnings and the most simple daily tasks can be complicated.
I LOVE the music. Wow, there is something infinitely escapist about it, at least to me.
Are you settled now? Family has joined? All this moving around is very miserable for me, I guess am not free spirited enough, not al all a world citizen, I jsut cant handle it, and with age it just keeps growing worse. I love the security of old trusted people, known roads,and a nice circle of real friends. I hope you get real friends soon in your new city.ReplyDelete
Interesting post. You have beautifully used the lines from Jagjit Singh gazal to describe the situation. I liked the assurance given to you in terms of question "did you see anyone living on the footpaths on your way to work or back?"
I hope you have found a aparatment and settled now in the new place.
Beautiful post, touched my heart.
I feel like this every time I move, and for some time keep blaming the husband. He is the reason I have to pack up and leave everything familiar right? But then slowly, may be 3 months later, may be more, I make friends and settle down once again. And things do not look so bleak any more.
Facebook is strange, and some friends never bother to connect at all. At times I feel having a number of friends is like owning so many trophies to show off.As if the more friends you have, more popular you are.
Hope you will find happiness and joy in your city soon, all the best.
Very very touching post. I can very well understand how difficult it is to adjust in a different place moreover in a different country. I have travelled in many parts of India and abroad and it takes long time to adjust. In India, we find too many people and also friends and relatives to talk with and who can help also but in abroad we have to do all the things by ourself and we hardly find people to talk with. So the best way is to keep ourself engage in various activities so that we don't feel lonely.ReplyDelete
Thanks to friends for sharing my emotions… it was a venting out at the end of a long day.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Yes Jagjit Singh has done a great job in making Gazhals popular in India. We all love him as he taught us to listen to this form of music.
You are right. Time flies but at times it is a long flight.
This form of music is mostly sad, except a very few exception. These songs usually romanticize the sorrow of an unsuccessful lover. But there are a few happy ones too.
@ Sujata,
KaNha…. Family is still in Kolkata. Visa issue not resolved still. Yes it is very difficult to get to a new place and start all over again. For me too it has to be a few good friends ... I cannot handle volume being superficial
@ Rajesh,
I am glad that you liked it.
Isn't it so true
Yes someone has to do the hard work. Find a place to live, know the roads, buy the stuff, unpack and arrange stuff that has been moved over!
Making friends become increasingly difficult with the passage of time. But things finally fall into place or one gets used to the chaos!!!
Face book is a strange place… I am not sure why people send a friends request when there is no real intension to interact
@ Babli,
Yes ... those who have gone through it know how much fun it. The best way to keep busy is work.

Royal Penguins, Eudyptes schlegeli
« Database Home Animalia Chordata Aves Sphenisciformes Spheniscidae Eudyptes schlegeli
Description & Behavior
Royal penguins, Eudyptes schlegeli (Finsch, 1876), are often confused with macaroni penguins, however they can easily be distinguished from the macaroni and other crested penguins by their pale white or gray chins and faces. The crown of their heads, their backs and flippers are black and they have orange bills and yellow crests above their eyes.
World Range & Habitat
Royal penguins, Eudyptes schlegeli, are a migratory species that spends their time, outside of the breeding season, in the southern seas between Australia and Antarctica. They breed on Macquarie Island, which is between Tasmania and Antarctica, however smaller breeding colonies have also been recorded on New Zealand's South Island and Campbell Island.
Feeding Behavior (Ecology)
Royal penguins, Eudyptes schlegeli, feed on krill, small fish and squid.
Life History
Royal penguins, Eudyptes schlegeli, reach sexual maturity around age one. Breeding season begins in September when male birds return to the colony to build nests, which are typically made of small stones and lined with grass. The females arrive about 2 weeks later and males begin the mating display of head swinging and calling. Females lay 2 eggs in October, with the 2nd typically the only one incubated (which lasts for 30-40 days). Colonies are large and often found near rockhopper penguin colonies. When the chick hatches, the male stands guard for up to 3 weeks while the female forages at sea. At the end of this phase the chicks need more food, therefore both parents forage while the chicks gather in small crèches. At about 2 months the chicks fledge.
Conservation Status & Comments
Royal penguins used to be hunted for their oil, however they are now protected. Royal penguins, Eudyptes schlegeli, are listed as Vulnerable D2 (VU) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species:
A taxon is Vulnerable when the best available evidence indicates that it meets any of the criteria A to E for Vulnerable (see Section V), and it is therefore considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.

Geep Chryst: Kaepernick didn't regress as much as perceived
One thing that didn't change was the identity of the starting quarterback. Colin Kaepernick will run the offense again this season after a 2014 season that left many people feeling like he'd regressed in his third year at the helm. His offensive coordinator Geep Chryst isn't one of those people. He cited other factors for creating a perception that Kaepernick was moving in the wrong direction.

Don't believe the hike, say opponents of minimum wage increase
June 12th, 2009 | Lisa Milam-Perez
>Hold off on that next minimum wage hike, urged David Neumark, a professor of economics at the University of California, Irvine, in an opinion piece in today's Wall Street Journal.
The federal minimum wage is scheduled to increase to $7.25 per hour in July, from the current rate of $6.55. It's the last in a three-step increase in the minimum wage rate enacted under the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007, a happier time — economically speaking — when the nation's unemployment rate stood at a modest 4.5%. The 2007 rate hike, the first in ten years, broke the longest stretch without an increase since the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was passed in 1938. But now, "with the aggregate unemployment rate at 9.4%, the teen unemployment rate exceeding 22%, and the unemployment rate for black teens nearing 40%, next month's increase seems like the worst timing possible," Neumark wrote. He warns that the 11% minimum wage increase will lead to the loss of an additional 300,000 jobs among teens and young adults — "on top of the continuing job losses the recession is likely to throw our way."
"Minimum wages, like most public policies, confront us with trade-offs," Neumark notes. "An employed, low-skilled worker who keeps his job earns a slightly higher wage. But a worker who loses his job, or a labor-market entrant or unemployed worker who cannot find a new job, pays a much higher cost."
It's a debate that has raged for decades: Does a minimum wage increase boost the wages of our lowest-paid workers, or does it put them out of work? It depends on whom you ask.
Minimum wage hikes increase consumer spending, says the Economic Policy Institute, a nonprofit think tank, citing a study by economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. The organization claims the first two increases in July 2007 and July 2008 will have generated an estimated $4.9 billion of spending by July 2009, and that the coming rate hike will bring in another $5.5 billion over the following year. The results demonstrate that an increase in the minimum wage benefits not only low-income workers, but boosts consumer spending and the broader economy as well, the Economic Policy Institute says.
Hogwash, counters the Employment Policies Institute. (The similarly named think tanks have been sparring on the issue for years.) The Employment Policies Institute has long asserted "the time-tested economic consensus" that minimum wage hikes lead to job loss for low-skilled employees. Responding to the most recent study, Kristen Lopez Eastlick, its senior research analyst, said university-conducted economic research "overwhelmingly runs counter" to the Economic Policy Institute's claims. Various studies continue to affirm that increases in the minimum wage are poorly targeted to benefit low-wage families, as Census Bureau data shows the average family income of minimum wage employees is nearly $45,000 a year.
"In fact, the federal minimum wage hike has priced employees out of the workforce, and based on recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it's the low and unskilled workforce — especially minority teens — who are getting hit the hardest."
On the other hand, the Fiscal Policy Institute and Policy Matters Ohio reported a few years ago that, since 1997, states with higher minimum wages have generally performed as well or better economically than states with lower minimums. The findings were consistent, the groups said, with "a growing body of economic research that has called into question the long-held prediction that a higher minimum wage will reduce the number of jobs or the number of hours worked by low-wage workers."
To be sure, when enacted in 1938, the FLSA's purpose was to grow jobs. The overtime provisions of the Act intended to spread the job wealth by making it costlier for employers to work their current employees more than 40 hours in a workweek. But the legislation also sought to eliminate labor conditions that were seen as detrimental "to the maintenance of the minimum standard of living necessary for health, efficiency, and general well-being of workers." (29 U.S.C. 202(a)). Thus, the minimum wage. There was a floor below which no American worker should be expected to work, Congress reasoned. It is the friction between these two competing goals, perhaps, that has led to the discord we see today.
In the end, Neumark laments: "I do not expect President Obama or congressional Democrats to give up their long-held support for a higher minimum wage." Indeed, the minimum wage hike is likely a done deal. But the battle over its wisdom will rage on.

We Californians like collaboration. Before we do things here, we consult all of the "stakeholders." We have hearings, studies, reviews, conferences, charrettes, neighborhood meetings, town halls, and who knows what else. Development in some California cities has become such a maze that some people make a fine living guiding developers through the process, helping them through the minefields and identifying the rings that need kissing.
Here's an example. This is a (partial?) list of the groups who will have a say on any proposed project in my city, Ventura: read more »

When Johann "Hans" and Philipp Sitter started their first business venture, they had no idea what they were doing – mostly. They opened up a hand-wash car wash, and passed out free beer and bratwurst to customers, even without permits – because they didn't know any better.
Today, however, they do know better – with their second bier garden concept opening this month in Shady Acres, King's BierHaus.
The father-and-son duo are from Vienna, Austria – transplanting to the states in 1996. The two came over with restaurant, butchery, and vineyard knowledge – all crafts for their family name.
The two came over with an idea to share their culture and make a buck, the Houston permit system just welcomed them with (probably) a couple of fines.
Lessons learned, the Sitters went to work.
"It was our dream to make a little bratwurst stand, or shack for the customers at the car wash," Philipp Sitter said. "My dad and I raised money by selling classic cars, got a loan and built a 45 seat shack that was called King's Biergarten. It was just supposed to be something for the customers to grab a brat and beer while getting their car washed."
The shack started with a word document menu that had photos and accompanied descriptions, something Sitter notes that wasn't supposed to be serious.
Then came the fan following.
In a four year span, the shack expanded into a concept 13 times, investing into the business to match the needed growth – expanding the menu, beer list, and offerings.
"Our expansion took us from 45 seats to 350 plus seats," Sitter said. "This is year six and a half for us, and we've added on King's BierHaus, which is a sister concept to the Biergarden. The difference is [King's BierHaus] is more modern, more fusion, more open beer house seating options, and the ordering style is different."
[ngg_images source="galleries" container_ids="53″ display_type="photocrati-nextgen_pro_horizontal_filmstrip" image_crop="0″ image_pan="1″ show_playback_controls="1″ show_captions="0″ caption_class="caption_overlay_bottom" caption_height="70″ aspect_ratio="1.5″ width="100″ width_unit="%" transition="fade" transition_speed="1″ slideshow_speed="5″ border_size="0″ border_color="#ffffff" override_thumbnail_settings="1″ thumbnail_width="120″ thumbnail_height="90″ thumbnail_crop="1″ ngg_triggers_display="always" order_by="sortorder" order_direction="ASC" returns="included" maximum_entity_count="500″]
King's BierHaus' Giant Beer Pretzel; Liptauer Spread; Vienna Goulash; Oma's Famous Fried Chicken; a four flight tasting Andechs Doppelbock, Weltenburger Asamback, Andechs Weissbierhell, and Vitus; the Bier Chocolate gelato; the Apple Strudel; and two outside looks of King's outdoor patio (photos by Christina Martinez).
From the menu, Sitter explains items being all based from family recipes that date back for decades. A few standout items that lead more on the traditional side are the Giant Beer Pretzel, Liptauer Spread, Oma's Fried Chicken and the Vienna Goulash.
Sitter also mentions the term "fusion" and by this means there's something on the menu for just about anyone, even those who don't feel like trying something German – a Greek salad, pretzel grilled cheese, burger, sausage plate, or even loaded fries.
Behind the bar, there are 31 taps and 26 of those taps are German beers; four being from German monastery breweries; two German beers that King's has exclusive rights to sell – Weltenburger Dopplebock and Andechs Weissbier Dunkel. There are also German and Austrian wines on the menu, or wines from the states on tap. There is a full bar for cocktails, and even a strong schnapps program – with schnapps flights readily available. And if you're feeling beer-adventurous, a 2.5 Liter beer called "Das Boot," yes you get to keep the boot.
For dessert, only two things are listed and for reason. The first being house made strudel with two options: apple and cream cheese. The next offering being gelato, hand-made by Hans himself.
"[My dad] makes all of his gelatos from scratch, it's hilarious to watch," Sitter said. He turns on Italian music while he makes them. He wanted to make them himself, so he went to California for two weeks to a creamery to learn how."
When it comes to sharing their culture, Sitter said his family is not a purist in any sense. In fact, he said they are trying to show a modern version of their culture, even if that makes them cliché.
"We're playing up to the clichés because we enjoy it," he said. "We're very cliché in everything we do."

Devon's community composting groups set for reprieve
Posted on: 24 February 2017
Measures aimed at softening the impact of proposed changes to the amount the authority pays community groups to compost, will be recommended to Devon County Council's Cabinet.
A consultation held last year included proposals to reduce the discretionary community composting credit rate, the amount per tonne the authority pays to local community groups, from £58 to £25.
The proposed change, which would start from April 2017, aimed to bring the rate paid to the county's 25 voluntary composting groups broadly into line with the new contract rate offered by DCC's new contractor from the same date.
Now following the consultation, Councillor Roger Croad, Devon County Council's Cabinet Member for Environment, says that he wants the reductions to take place gradually over three years, instead of the one year that was originally proposed, to reduce the impact.
If agreed by cabinet, under the new proposals the rate would be set at £50 from April 2017 for the first year. By 2020 this will reduce to around £25.
Councillor Roger Croad said: "In the current financial climate it is difficult to justify paying a higher rate to community groups than we would to our new contractor to manage the same waste.
"However I recognise the significant and valuable contribution many groups make to our local communities, and that's why I have concluded that bringing the rate down gradually over three years instead of one would give groups time to adjust and make any transition easier.
"This will enable us to work with community composting groups to help ensure that their operating model is sustainable over the long term."
The other proposals in the consultation, including charging for all plastic construction and demolition DIY waste at Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC) will go ahead and take effect from April 1 2017.
In addition HWRC's will no longer accept heating-type oil tanks of all sizes. And to discourage traders from accessing the sites illegally, to reduce congestion and improve safety, vehicles over six metres in length and pick up trucks towing trailers, will be excluded from HWRCs.
The results of the waste consultation will be discussed at Devon County Council's next Cabinet meeting on March 8 2017.

A vehicle identification number (VIN) is required in Canada to register a vehicle in addition to other required documents, such as proof of ownership, proof of insurance and a new vehicle information statement provided from the vendor. The required paperwork can vary from province to province inside Canada, but to begin any sort of registration or insurance process, the car must have a VIN.
Drivers can contact their local registration offices and discuss everything they should bring. Every car has a plate on it that has the VIN engraved or stamped onto it. It is normally located at the base of the windshield on the left side of the car. If this is missing, the owner can apply for a VIN.

When this word is used in America, it's always with a critical tone. It classifies someone or something as defective, unnatural, undesirable. When someone uses this word, you immediately know their stance on what is to follow. It's a profane word, one that Americans try to prevent their children from hearing, and one that will definitely turn heads in grocery stores and courtrooms. Despite this, many children do go through a phase in their teenage years where they enjoy throwing this and many other words around, much to the dismay of parents and educators. Usually, though, they come to their senses once they grow up. If they don't, then they're considered immature or insane.
This word that so many people cringe at, that comes with so much baggage, that is so taboo, is socialist. Attach it to any politician, to any proposed law, and immediately the public will be inflamed against it. Socialism in the minds of Americans is bound inextricably with communism, fascism, nazism, North Korea, big brother, poverty. Make one comment about socialism not necessarily being a bad thing, and most Americans will call you a Nazi and hurl the nearest copy of 1984 at you. The reality is, though, that many people who have lived in socialist states have not been completely miserable and destitute.
Take, for example, Helmut Franz, the guy we all wish was our grandpa. He's a 70 year old man who lived during the Third Reich, East (socialist) Germany, West Germany, and now lives in the reunited Germany. He could outwalk you, out-talk you, and out-history you (those are all words now). He has a lot of positive things to say about socialism. For instance, "everything that was necessary to live was dirt cheap," or "there was no unemployment, no ... Obdachlosigkeit... (homelessness)" (all of our tours were in Denglisch). To the criticism that "since doctors only make two times as much as nurses, why would anyone want to be a doctor?" Helmut replies, "That is nonsense. Everyone wanted to be a doctor. [It was very prestigious]".
This praise doesn't come without criticism, though; he says that "[luxury] things like cars... were 30,000 marks. You started saving when a child was born so that they could have a car to drive when they were grown." This is an interesting criticism coming from him, since he never drives, and is very glad that Dresden construction plans are leaving very little room for parking lots. His other criticisms were how discouraged blue jeans were (though they were never made illegal), and also that rock and roll was forbidden, because they were "American decadence" trying to seep into his brain. He has a definite bias towards American entertainment and culture (Elvis was his king), though his politics remain quite far left.
The take home message from this is that the conceptions we have of a particular style of government may not be entirely accurate. Just like our land doesn't always meet the expectations of equality and the American dream, socialist states like the DDR were not all sunshine and happiness, but they also weren't just huge slums full of starving and miserable people. Honestly, we probably have less to fear from an invasion of socialism than other countries have to fear from an invasion of our capitalism.

As the November, 2016 election draws near it is important to remember that those operating in the state's casino industry should be aware of the strict political contribution guidelines contained in the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act ("Act") and monitored by the Michigan Gaming Control Board ("MGCB"). Such restrictions are not uncommon in gaming jurisdictions and have been designed to prevent any appearance of conflicts of interest or unscrupulous dealings.
As originally drafted, the political contribution restrictions in Section 7b of the Act contained broad language that applied the restrictions on political donations to state, state legislative, and local elective offices to all licensees, key persons, interest holders in licensees, including the spouses and close family members of these individuals. In addition, the Act prohibited contributions made for a period of one year prior to an individual applying for any MGCB operator or supplier licensee.
However, on December 17, 1998, then Michigan Attorney General Frank Kelley issued Attorney General Opinion No. 7002, which concluded that certain sections of the original political contributions restrictions were unconstitutional. Specifically, the order opined that the restrictions placed upon political contributions made by spouses and close family members, as well as the restrictions on contributions made one-year prior to applying for a license as applied to supplier licensees were unconstitutional (the opinion, however, concluded the one-year retroactive restrictions as applied to casino operator licensees was constitutional). In addition to the 1998 Opinion, two additional Attorney General Opinions (#7086 August 10, 2001 and #7099 January 9, 2002) have been issued which further clarify the application of Section 7b.
Current Restrictions
The current law prohibits casino and supplier licensees from making political contributions to any state or local political candidates or any "holder of any state, legislative, or local elective office." MCL §432.207b(a)(ii). Importantly, the restrictions apply to those political action, candidate, or independent committees that donate to candidates for state or local offices.
Therefore, as a general rule, if a donation has the possibility of funding a state or local candidate, even if it is through a political action or similar committee, then the Act prohibits the contribution. These restrictions, however, do not apply to candidates for federal elective office. Notably, the restrictions also do not apply to ballot question committees.
The parties covered by Section 7b of the Act are those entities or individuals holding a casino or supplier license issued by the MGCB. This includes individuals holding a 1% or greater ownership interest in a licensee, officers or managerial employees of a licensee, and officers or managerial employees of entities that hold a 1% or greater interest in a casino or supplier licensee.
Political contribution restrictions apply as long as the casino or supplier is licensed by the MGCB and continue for a period of three years following the expiration or termination of the license. In addition, the restrictions apply to any contributions made one-year prior to an individual or entity that is applying for a casino operator license.
Violations of Section 7b can result in a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than ten years or a fine not more than $100,000 or both and/or immediate licensing action by the MGCB, including revocation of a license (Section 18(1)(f)). The MGCB has and continues to strictly enforce these provisions, so it is important for those covered by Section 7b to closely monitor any political contributions to ensure that they are in compliance with section 7b of the Act.
Casino Interest Registration Act
In connection with the Act, the Michigan legislature passed the Casino Interest Registration Act ("CIRA") in order to assist the state Attorney General, MGCB, and other interested parties in monitoring compliance with the Act's political contribution restrictions. In accordance with CIRA, all entities or individuals who hold a 1% or greater interest in a casino operator licensee and have not been otherwise exempted from compliance with CIRA must complete a short, one-page registration form and submit the same to the Michigan Bureau of Elections.
The Michigan Bureau of Elections maintains a list of all registrants under CIRA and publishes this list bi-annually. The list contains the names of those entities or individuals who have registered and is used, in part, to cross-check political donor lists for prohibited contributions.
Registration with the bureau must occur within five days of the MGCB granting the entity or individual's license application, including those applications for a transfer of interest in a casino licensee that results in the entity or individual acquiring more than 1% ownership interest in the casino licensee. Those who fail to register face civil fines and/or misdemeanor criminal penalties.
Those interested in furthering their understanding of the MGCB's political campaign restrictions, including CIRA's registration requirements, can refer to the agency's summary of the applicable laws and regulations located at the following link: http://www.michigan.gov/mgcb/0,1607,7-120-57144_57145-245363--,00.html.

Many California construction firms plan to start hiring again, and most contractors predict demand will either grow or remain stable in virtually every market segment in 2014, according to a report released Tuesday by the Associated General Contractors of America.
Contractors surveyed said 25 percent of firms plan to hire this year and 75 percent said they don't plan to change staffing levels. No one said they would lay off employees this year.
Of those firms that do plan to hire, everyone said it would be more than 25 people.
Contractors commented the most challenging aspect of the current workforce is having a "hard time filling some key professional positions, but no trouble filling craft worker positions," with estimators and project managers being most in demand.
Also, 56 percent of California contractors said it will become harder to find and hire qualified construction professionals over the next 12 months.
Contractors expected the retail, warehouse and lodging sectors to have the largest growth in the number of projects available to bid on in 2014, compared to 2013.
Some 46 percent of contractors expected this sector to expand, 35 percent saw it staying the same and 19 percent saw it declining.
The hospital and higher education markets had the second-highest confidence for growth, with 44 percent of contractors expecting these sectors to expand, 37 percent seeing it stay the same as last year and 19 percent seeing it drop.
Kindergarten through 12th-grade construction projects were scheduled to increase only 18 percent, the contractors said, the lowest of the 11 sectors the employment outlook reported.
Some 27 percent said money allocated for these projects will dip, and 55 percent said it will stay the same as in 2013.
Some 48 percent expected power and energy projects will stay the same; the rest said the projects will drop 10 percent from last year.
Also, 59 percent of contractors said water and sewer projects will stay the same compared to the other 11 sectors.
Contractors expect the other six sectors to be higher by the following: highway, 38 percent; public transportation, 43 percent; manufacturing, 28 percent; public buildings, 36 percent; private office, 31 percent; military construction, 26 percent.
The outlook was based on survey results from over 800 construction firms from every state and Washington, D.C. Each firm's data is compiled and divided based on its location.
Contractors of every size answered more than 40 questions about their hiring expectations for this year.
Over all around the country, about 41 percent of firms that did not change staff levels last year reported they plan to start expanding payrolls in 2014; only 2 percent plan to start laying off workers.
Net hiring is likely to be relatively modest, with 86 percent of firms reporting they plan to hire 25 or fewer new employees this year.
"Contractors are more optimistic about 2014 than they have been in a long time," said Stephen Sandherr, CEO of the Associated General Contractors of America. "While the industry has a long way to go before it returns to the employment and activity levels it experienced in the middle of the last decade, conditions are heading in the right direction."
Contractors across the United States had a relatively positive outlook for virtually all 11 market segments covered in the report, in particular for private-sector segments.
For five of those segments, at least 40 percent of respondents expected the market to expand and fewer than 20 percent expected the market to decline in 2014.
Among public sector segments, contractors were more optimistic about demands for new water and sewer construction.
Contractors are mildly optimistic about the highway construction market.
Sandherr added that contractors' market expectations are significantly more optimistic than they were at this time last year.
At that time, a majority of contractors expected demand for highway, public transportation, public building, retail, warehouse and lodging, K-12 schools and private officers to shrink.

I really appreciate Gergen's approach to thinking about modernism. The second chapter of his text, titled "From the Romantic to the Modern Vision of Self," positions modernism as a philosophical view of life "in which reason and observation are the central ingredients of human functioning" (19). Gergen situates modernism as the natural response to romanticism. He views the movement as the rational delineation from a focus on the "deep interior," or the romantic idea that "the material world of the senses is far less significant than the immaterial and unseen" (Gergen 26). Instead, the focus of modernism is predicated on measurable phenomena and realistic presentations of truth.
At the end of the nineteenth century, such elements as industrial mass production and global conflict repositioned thinking away from the introspection of the romantic era and into the practical purview of modernism. Gergen points to progress in the sciences as the foundation for modernism, citing improvements in medicine, sanitation, and working conditions as catalysts for a western view of culture that moved away from artifice and style and toward practicality and sincerity. Indeed, Gergen refers often to the qualifiers "utilitarian" and "earnest" when he discusses how modernism differs from both romanticism and the postmodern condition.
As support, he discusses music, architecture, dance, and literature. He states:
In the domain of dance, classical ballet was scorned for its decorative formalisms, and the interpretive dance of the romantics seemed self-indulgent. Dance turned "modern" when, in one critic's words, it aimed to "externalize personal, authentic experience." (31)
I must pause here to provide full disclosure. Gergen's text champions the emotional and artistic attributes of the romantic tradition, and he deeply admires the qualities of practicality and sincerity that he views are the hallmarks of modernism. Indeed, his text and its discussion of shifting personal identity views postmodernism as a cultural threat that might "extinguish the validity of both the romantic and modern realities" (19).
There are elaborate, methodical definitions for what we commonly call postmodernism, and there are also some simplistic views:
Somewhere in the middle, as is often the case, lies the truth. I think of postmodernism as a direct reaction to the relatively staid tradition of modernism that preceded it. It is exemplified by experimentation, reconstitution (what some scholars have come to think of as remix culture), and adaptation. In his text The Electronic Word: Democracy, Technology, and the Arts, theorist Richard Lanham provides an example that capably illustrates these traits. Lanham discusses technology as the great facilitator of postmodernism. Like Gergen, he views "clarity" and "authenticity" as the defining characteristics of modernism (25). He then proceeds to discuss Marcel Duchamp's mustachioed Mona Lisa (one of the artist's "readymade" artifacts), making the argument that Duchamp's postmodern artistic efforts destabilize the aristocratic limits of modernism:
What will emerge finally is a new rhetoric of the arts, an unblushing and unfiltered attempt to plot all the ranges of formal expressivity now possible, however realized and created by whom (or what-) ever. This rhetoric will make no invidious distinctions between high and low culture, commercial and pure usage, talented or chance creation, visual or auditory stimulus, iconic or alphabetic information. (Lanham 24)
Lanham views postmodernism positively, as an expressive and philosophical movement of the masses. Postmodernism, in his view, levels the critical playing field and allows greater participation via the various conduits of technology.
For visual purposes, I can delineate between the movements by comparing the prairie-style architecture of prominent Jacksonville, Florida, creator John Henry Klutho (a disciple of Frank Lloyd Wright, the father of organic architecture) with that of noted postmodern architect Robert Venturi.
To further illustrate the point, consider the following portraits. Richard Barsam uses these paintings in a discussion of form and content in his excellent text Looking at Movies, but I think the lesson is applicable here as well. The Matisse portrait illustrates the transition between Fauvism and Modernism, and the latter is well represented by Edward Hopper's work. The third work, a populist, minimalist piece, shows the human figure as I imagine a postmodernist would view it.
I believe the generalizations outlined in the textual and visual examples above have come to manifest themselves (to a material extent) in our present rhetorical situation. Obfuscation and artifice seem more in line with the argumentative and persuasive impulses of our politicized, postmodern present, while I personally cleave to the more authentic, sincere ethic that Gergen associates with modernism. Where modernism seems a movement born out of practical necessity, postmodernism seems more a product of "play," a concept Lanham delves into with great precision in his text. There is room for both within the modern rhetorical tradition, of course, but the modern view strikes me as more useful in a philosophical consideration of reality.

Where are Crimea carriers' licenses?
Three years after Crimea reunited with Russia, some of local carries offering sea trips for tourists still work off the books. Yet, the number of licensed carriers is much higher.
Meanwhile, a journalistic experiment shows that license is a hard-hitting question for most of ship owners. Two-day inquiry held in Sevastopol and Balaklava resulted in only three licenses demonstrated to journalists.
Sea carriers in Crimea were allowed to work without licenses till 1 June 2015. The deadline was postponed to 1 September amid the difficulties associated with the procedure as some entrepreneurs had to go to Rostov-on-Don where Southern Sea/Inland Supervision Department (SSISD) is located. However, many carriers still work without licenses.
All in all, Rostransnadzor's SSISD issued 546 licenses including 214 licenses for Crimea and Sevastopol. Of this number, 198 licenses allow transportation of passengers, SSISD told IAA PortNews.
One license obtained by any entity covers all of its ships. Therefore, the number of such ships can exceed the number of issued licenses.
Sea trips in Sevastopol
IAA PortNews correspondent pretending to be arranging a sea trip for a group of children coming from Saint-Petersburg visited the main embankment of Sevastopol to ask the carriers for a license. Having talked to almost all carriers between Artbuhta and Grafskaya Pristan (25-30 carriers) the correspondent saw only 2 licenses. It took 5 minutes for one of the ship owners to find a license and he did not let see the document's number or the date of issue.
The other license was available at the advertisement poster on the pier. Its number is actually among the documents issued by Rostransnadzor.
Where are the licenses?
Most of those who did not show the license claimed they had it, but not onboard. They either had to "go to the office" or were "ready to show it in case of their service use". One of ship owners recommended to track down each license' number since such a document can be printed out easily. "Otherwise, it makes no sense", he added but refused to show the license.
Availability of life-jackets is a special story. Most of vessels able to carry 11 passengers had only 5 life-jackets including 2 or three child-size ones. They insisted that is sufficient according to the regulations. "If you call in advance we will ensure the required number of child-size life-jackets", they used to say.
As for the number of children in the group (12 children and one adult), almost all carriers suggested dividing them between two boats to avoid overweight. No wonder as the number of seats is limited. The tickets for a one-hour guided tour is RUB 400 - 700 for adults and RUB 250–350 for children.
Sea tours in Balaklava
The Balaklava embankment is shorter than that of Sevastopol but the number of ships there is much higher. In the area with tables and sunshades the tourists can see the photos of the offered voyage and discuss the terms.
At the very first table the license was provided that covers three vessels for 10-11 passengers (it is really in the Rostransnadzor' Register). According to Larisa Chibisova, wife of the ship owner, all those at the tables are working officially, though there are many young men running all around an arranging trips without any permits. When asked about the number of carriers working off the books she said it can be at least 60% in Balaklava, adding that their share in Sevastopol is much smaller due to stricter rules.
The experiment brought up many questions. Speaking about the problem is not enough. How can the situation be improved? IAA PortNews addressed those questions to Aleksandr Andrusenko, head of the Southern Sea/Inland Supervision Department of the Federal Agency for Transport Supervision (Rostransnadzor's SSISD).
- Mr Andrusenko! Is that really difficult to obtain a license? If not, why are there so many violations? What do you undertake to improve the situation?
- It should be noted that the licenses are to be obtained not by ship masters but by legal entities or private entrepreneurs who usually employ 2-3 persons for that purpose. One of them is a hooker-in, another one takes the wheel. Therefore, it is not absolutely right to say that only three persons in your experiment are involved in legal activities.
Providing licenses upon the first demand of the client is a must everywhere: at berths and in shops, as well as providing a receipt….
Yes, there are facts of working without licenses. Revealing such violations is the responsibility of transport police and prosecutor's office… .
The materials are then forwarded to us for consideration and taking the administrative measures.
The penalty alone cannot solve the problem. We have gone through it again.
Unwillingness of some entrepreneurs to obtain licenses is, on the one hand, explained by their fear of administrative barriers, paper chase and the officials. On the other hand, there is a practice of relying on a bit of luck.
…Our key task today is to eliminate those stereotypes. We apply all available resources for that purpose.
Rostov has just hosted public hearings attended by representatives of the business community, authorities and everybody interested in new laws as well as those eager to work legally.
In March 2017, you have published our article "Licensing without barriers". According to those who had read the article say they now see the licensing in a different light.
By the way, some figures will clarify the situation.
In 2015 – 2016, SSISD issued 162 licenses for passenger transportation including 132 licenses for Crimean entrepreneurs.
Apart from Crimea were cover 6 other constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Our authority includes 16 ports, more than 3,000 km of inland water ways, Black Sea coast and the Krasnodar region resorts. So, the number of licenses issued for Crimea is 4 times as much as in other six entities!
What does that mean?
Crimea residents are free from the red tape and bureaucracy stereotypes. They just work in new legislative realities. I am speaking about licensed entrepreneurs. The number of others is decreasing and I know that firsthand.
- What should be done with overweight? What about not giving licenses for small size vessels that can technically be used for transportation of more people than the declared 12 passengers?
- When applying for a license, entrepreneurs provide vessels' certificate issued by Harbour Master. The document contains information about passenger capacity 11+1 (ship master). Even if there is a technical possibility for more passengers we cannot reject such documents.
You know, we have no right to suspect anybody. It is a so called presumption of innocence. It is as if traffic police would not issue vehicle certificate for cars able to move with a speed not allowed at our roads.
However, I fully agree with you as regards formal attitude of some license holders to the procedure and to the licensed activity. We reveal, investigate and stop the facts you mentioned.
In August we took part in inspections initiated by Transport Prosecutor's Office of Sochi. The findings of the above inspections are under consideration. Operation of some vessels has been banned and the violators will fall under sanctions. That will mean losses for such 'businessmen'.
I would emphasize … that reaction to such unlawful conduct will follow immediately. … The risk and consequences of such business is much higher as compared with the lost profit.
By no means I decline my or my subordinates' responsibility for ensuring safety and administration of justice at transport, being open for a productive dialogue and initiatives, but the request "Can I have a look at you license" should be more frequent, from all those who care about their life and health.
Next public hearing will be held on 25 October in Novorossiysk.
- Thank you.

Where do Bible manuscripts come from?
QUESTION #8:Where do Bible manuscripts come from?
ANSWER:Most existing manuscripts of the Bible are divided into two "families". These families are generally represented by the cities of Alexandria, Egypt and Antioch, Syria.
EXPLANATION:There are only two Bibles, God's and the devil's. There are only two views of the Bible. It is totally perfect or it is imperfect.
The two Bibles, in manuscript form, and their corresponding ideologies originate in two vastly different locations in the Mid East. Alexandria, Egypt and Antioch, Syria. Discerning which location gives us the perfect Bible and the correct ideology and which gave us the devil's bible and incorrect ideology is one of the easiest tasks imaginable. This pursuit is made childishly easy due to one source, the Bible.
As we have stated so many times, yet shall again, we accept the Bible as our final authority in all matters of faith and practice. Therefore, all anyone need do is to explore the Bible and discover what GOD thinks of Alexandria, Egypt and what He thinks of Antioch, Syria.
When studying Scripture a fundamental rule that is followed is called "the law of first mention". This means that it is generally true that the context in which someone or something is first mentioned sets the Bible attitude for that person or place.
In our study of Alexandria and Antioch we find it impossible to ignore the Bibles attitude toward Egypt itself.
(1) Egypt is first mentioned in Genesis 12:10-12.
10 "And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there: for the famine was grievous in the land.
In Genesis 12:1-3 we find Abraham is given what is known as the Abrahamic Covenant. Literally it is God's promise to deliver the world to Abraham and his seed as their own private possession.
In Genesis 12:10 Abraham goes down into Egypt to escape a famine in his homeland. In verse 12 we find Abraham's fear that the Egyptians might kill him and steal Sarai his wife. NOT exactly a positive context. We see then that the first mention of Egypt is negative.
(2) In Exodus 1:11-14 we find that the Jews were slaves in Egypt.
11 "Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
In fact, Pharaoh decrees that all male Jewish babies are to be killed in verses 15 and 16.
15 "And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
Obviously a negative connotation.
(3) In Exodus chapter 20, after He had brought the children out of Egypt, God, with His own voice, tells what He thinks of Egypt in verse 2 where He describes it as a "house of bondage" "I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage."
Again, a negative comment and this one directly from God's lips.
(4) In Deuteronomy 4:20 Moses refers to Egypt as "the iron furnace. "
"But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day."
(5) In Deuteronomy 17:16 Israel is told that, in the future, when they have a king he is not to carry on commercial trade with Egypt.
"But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way."
(6) And finally in Revelation 11:8, when God wants to denounce Jerusalem, He compares it to Sodom and Egypt.
"And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified."
This brief study has shown what most Christians already know. The Bible has a negative outlook on Egypt.
We find that Alexandria is mentioned only four times in Scripture and that each mention is bad.
(1) Alexandria is first mentioned in Acts 6:9.
"Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen."
It was Jews from Alexandria who were in the crowd that disputed with and eventually killed Stephen.
(2) The second mention of Alexandria is in Acts 18:24.
"And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus."
Here we find a Jew from Alexandria named Apollos who though fervent in spirit was misinformed concerning the gospel. Not knowing the true gospel of Jesus Christ he preached, in Ephesus, the baptism of John the Baptist. (Acts 18:25, 19:3) Apollos was not saved and neither were his converts.
Later, Apollos is led to Christ by Aquila and Priscilla (verse 26) and gets his message straightened out (verse 28).
But in its second mention, Alexandria is synonymous with bad Bible teaching.
(3) The third and fourth mentions of Alexandria are very similar. After Paul is arrested in Acts 21 and appeals his case to Caesar he is sent to Rome, and eventual death, on a ship from, of all places Alexandria (Acts 27:6).
"And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein."
(4) While sailing to Rome, Paul's ship is sunk in a tempest. After spending three months on the island of Melita he is sent on his way to eventual death on another ship. And where is this second ship from that is so ready to carry Paul to his death?
Acts 28:11: "And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux."
We see then that all four Bible references to Alexandria are negative. No one with any honesty could pretend that the Bible's representation of Alexandria is good.
It must also be noted here that Alexandria was a center of education and philosophy (Colossians 2:8) which it received from Athens in about 100 B.C. (Acts 17:16) There was a school of the Scriptures founded there by one Pantaenus who was a philosopher. Pantaenus interpreted scripture both philosophically and allegorically. That is to say that philosophically he believed truth to be relative, not absolute. He did not believe that the Bible was infallible. By looking at the Bible allegorically he believed that men such as Adam, Noah, Moses, and David existed only in Jewish poetry and were not true historical characters. He was succeeded as head of the school by Clement of Alexandria and later by Origen. Men who shared his skepticism.
It was Origen, deceived by the duel intoxicants of education and philosophy who upon receipt of pure copies of scripture altered them to parallel his twisted thinking. He is the father of all Bible critics and is not only responsible for the physical manuscripts which delete such verses as Luke 24:40, Acts 8:37 and I John 5:7, but he is also responsible for the Alexandrian philosophy parroted by so many of our fundamental scholars who claim that "The Bible is perfect and infallible" with one breath and then state "The Bible has mistakes and mistranslations" with the very next. It is this demented ideology that gave birth to the corrupt Alexandrian manuscripts in the first place. Thus we see that not only are the physical manuscripts of Alexandria corrupt and to be rejected, but the Alexandrian philosophy, that the Bible has mistakes in it and must be corrected, is even more subtle and dangerous and must be forsaken by true Bible believers.
Ironically the first mention of Antioch is found in the very same book and chapter as Alexandria, Acts chapter 6, but in a radically different context.
(1) When the Apostles saw a need for helpers, helpers whom today we know as "deacons", they gave instructions for what kind of men should be chosen for the position.
Acts 6:3,4: "Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
The seven men chosen are listed in Acts 6:5.
"And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:"
Please notice that one of the first deacons, Nicolas, was of Antioch. Is this a mere coincidence? Certainly not! Neither is it coincidental that Nicolas is the only deacon whose home town is given. Neither is it coincidental that Antioch is mentioned for the first time in Scripture in the same chapter in which Alexandria is mentioned. And it is certainly no difficult feat to see that one, Antioch, is first mentioned in a positive light and the other, Alexandria, is first mentioned in a negative light.
The next few pertinent appearances of Antioch start as a trickle and end as a flood of testimony to God's choice of Antioch for the center of His New Testament church.
(2) Antioch appears next in Scripture in Acts 11:19-21.
19 "Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.
Here we find that certain of the Christians who had taken flight during the persecution preached the gospel as they fled.
Upon arrival in Antioch they, not knowing what had happened in Acts 10 with Peter opening the door of the gospel to the Gentiles, preached the gospel to the Grecians. Verse 21 tells us that God's Holy Spirit worked mightily in Antioch and that a "great number" were saved.
We see then that the first great gentile awakening occurred in Antioch.
(3) In Acts 11:22-24 we find that Barnabus, (the son of consolation Acts 4:36) was sent to Antioch to see what was happening in Antioch.
22 "Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
Through the ministry of this great man of God, many more people were added to Christ,
(4) In Acts 11:25,26, two important facts are revealed.
25 "Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch.
First, we find Barnabas departing for Tarsus to seek the young convert Saul. It was Barnabas who defended Paul's conversion to the doubting disciples in Acts 9:26,27. Doubtless he was grieved to see the zealous young convert shipped off to Tarsus (Acts 9:30), and oblivion. Upon finding Saul, Barnabus does not bring him back to Jerusalem. (And certainly not to Alexandria.) He returns with him to Antioch, the spiritual capital of the New Testament church. All that Paul ever became, he owes to the gracious act of this godly old saint.
(5) In Acts 11:26 we find that born again believers were called "Christians" for the first time at Antioch. Thus every time we believers refer to ourselves as "Christians" we complete a spiritual connection to our spiritual forefathers in Antioch. Antioch is to the Christian what Plymouth Rock is to the American.
(6) In verses 27 and 28 we find that God has now packed up His prophets and sent them north to Antioch.
27 "And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
Jerusalem is left spiritually abandoned. Home only of the disciples, who were told to leave it years earlier in Acts 1:8.
(7) In Acts 11:29,30 we find that the saints who God is blessing in Antioch, must send monetary aid to the saints who God is not blessing in Jerusalem.
29 "Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:
Yet these are not the final Biblical references to the capital of God's New Testament church.
(8) When God decides to send missionaries out into the world to preach the gospel, He never even glances in the direction of Jerusalem. (And most assuredly not Alexandria, Egypt) He looks instead to His faithful servants at Antioch.
Acts 13:1-3: "Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Thus, it is evident that the first missionary journey mentioned in Scripture originated in Antioch, with "Christians" from Antioch. And when this great work was fulfilled, no one wasted any time sightseeing or sending reports to Jerusalem. They simply returned to Antioch.
Acts 14:25-28: "And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down unto Attalia:
Our last two glimpses of Antioch give evidence that to be in Antioch is to be in the middle of the will of God.
(9) In Acts chapter 15 the disciples in Jerusalem feel a need to send a pair of envoys to Antioch with their decrees concerning Gentile believers.
Acts 15:23-27: "And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:
Following the completion of the mission, Judas returns to Jerusalem, and oblivion. Silas elects to stay in Antioch, and it is Silas who we find gaining a prominent place in Scripture as Paul's missionary partner on his second missionary journey.
(10) Of course, the second missionary journey did not originate in Jerusalem. It originated in the only place that it possibly could have, Antioch, as Acts 15:40 illustrates.
What was it about Antioch that was so attractive to God that He chose it as the center of New Testament Christianity?
It might be noted that, Antioch although it was a cultural center, had not abandoned itself to pagan religion, pagan education and pagan philosophy as had such prominent sites as Rome, Athens, and Alexandria.
It might also be weighed that Antioch, unlike the above mentioned cities, or even Jerusalem, was located almost exactly in the middle of the known world, and was built at the crossing of the East-West trade routes. It even boasted a sea port, via the Orontes River. These are all important attributes for the capital of Christianity, which is known for it's mobility.
It may be that many of the original autographs of Paul's epistles were penned in Antioch.
In the second century, a disciple by the name of Lucian founded a school of the Scriptures in Antioch. Lucian was noted for his mistrust of pagan philosophy. His school magnified the authority and divinity of Scripture and taught that the Bible was to be taken literally, not figuratively as the philosophers of Alexandria taught.
So Antioch is not only the point of origin for the correct family of Bible manuscripts, but is also the source for the ideology that accepts the Bible as literally and perfectly God's words. Today many well meaning, but "Alexandrian" educated preachers are uplifting the Antiochian Bible (King James) but with the Alexandrian conviction that it cannot be perfect. In fact, this Egyptian conviction states that there cannot be a perfect Bible on earth, in spite of God's promise in Psalm 12:6,7.
To accept the proper Book with an improper attitude will only predestine one to make the same mistakes and corruptions that their Egyptian forefathers did.
Can anyone ignore a Bible admonition and not fall?
Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, ignored the Biblical admonition to avoid Egypt and not go down to Egypt to multiply horses (Deuteronomy 17:16). In I Kings 3:1 he married Pharaoh's daughter. In I Kings 10:28 he had horses brought up out of Egypt. What was the result? By I Kings 11:3,4 we find that his heart had been turned away from following God. In verses 5-9 he began worshipping other gods. And by verses 9-43 God has pronounced judgment on him. If God doesn't want His people to go down to Egypt for horses, do we dare go there for a Bible or an ideology?
Solomon could not get away with ignoring the Bible's view of Egypt. Are you wiser than Solomon?

Even today, the idea of going "off the grid" has an ethereal ring to it.
But by the end of next year, Colorado College-owned radio station KRCC aims to be off the grid or at least using solar panels to power a new eco-friendly building while still broadcasting to thousands of local listeners.
Delaney Utterback, general manager for the National Public Radio affiliate, says the plan is to move beyond token overtures toward serious sustainability.
"I want it to be something that really works," he says.
Though plans for the "earth station" are in their early stages, the building will likely be recessed into the hillside on already-donated property just east of the intersection of Uintah Street and Mesa Road. The hope is to move by late 2009 into a building that could end up looking like an "earthship" or could take a more conventional design.
The building should be tied to the city's electricity grid to bank excess energy, but KRCC hopes to produce enough power on-site to cover all of the station's lighting, computing and other electrical needs, says Bob Kerwin, the college's director of communications.
The building's design, south-facing orientation and a heat-pump all will help with efficient temperature regulation. As for day-to-day practicality, the station would welcome sound-proof recording studios, a space to host bands and greater comfort than the current building on Weber Street, which Utterback says leaks heat "like a sieve."
Though other NPR stations have taken steps toward sustainability, Kerwin says, the hope is for KRCC to be a national leader by cutting its carbon footprint to almost nothing.
