New Mix: Cat Power With Coldplay, Brian Eno, Broncho, The Wytches, More

Email a Friend
Top row, left to right: Brian Eno and Karl Hyde, Cat Power; Middle row: The Wytches, Chris Martin of Coldplay; Bottom row: Broncho.

On this week's All Songs Considered: After some speculation on Pink Floyd's just-announced album The Endless River, Robin kicks off the show with Broncho's "Class Historian," which he describes as the most immediately catchy song he's heard all year. Not to be out-catchied, Bob retaliates with Rubblebucket's "Carousel Ride," from the band's upcoming release Survival Sounds. Full of explosive synthesizers and melodies made to climb the charts, it gives Robin a run for his money.

Bob also plays Brian Eno and Karl Hyde's trance-inducing "DBF," from the pair's recent LP, High Life, and follows that with the gentler yet equally hypnotic "Lonestar," by the Baltimore duo Peals (which is led by members of Future Islands and Double Dagger). Keeping the peaceful mood going, Robin plays "The First Time," the tranquil opening track to singer-songwriter Matt Kivel's Days of Being Wild, released today.

Bob and Robin close out the show with Coldplay and Cat Power's unexpected collaboration "Wish I Was Here," from the soundtrack of Zach Braff's upcoming film of the same name. After such a frenetic first half to the show, "Wish I Was Here" is the slow, soothing finale. When it's over, everyone is ready for a cuddly nap.

Guatemala CUs Explore International Shared Branching

FSCC, WOCCU hope to help Guatemala CU federation usher in new technology

June 23, 2011

Organization: World Council of Credit Unions
Phone: (608) 395-2000

Guatemalan delegation visits FSCC
FSCC's Nathan Rogers instructs a Guatemalan delegation about international shared branching capabilities at FSCC's Ontario, Calif., headquarters. The group included (from left) Vinicio Garcia, CEO of Guadalupana credit union; Magda Escalante de Barrios, FENACOAC's treasury and comptroller coordinator; Deeynar Leon, director of research, development and technology; and FENACOAC Chair Felipe Godoy, CEO of UPA credit union.

ONTARIO, Calif. — Representatives from the Federación Nacional de Cooperativas de Ahorro y Crédito (FENACOAC), Guatemala's national credit union federation and a World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU) member, would like to introduce international shared branching through its member credit unions to better serve the country's more than 1 million members. Financial Service Centers Cooperative (FSCC), a California-based credit union electronic services provider and WOCCU associate member, is working in cooperation with WOCCU's International Partnerships Program to make the goal a reality.

A combined delegation from Guatemala's credit union system joined FSCC and WOCCU staff in a visit last week to Puerto Rico, where FSCC has been providing credit union shared branching services since 2008, to examine the application and implementation of shared branching among the island's credit unions. The delegation then traveled to California, where it met with officials both from FSCC and the California & Nevada Credit Union Leagues, which first partnered with FENACOAC through WOCCU's International Partnerships Program in 2009, to discuss in greater depth how shared branching could be implemented in Guatemala.

"It's the cooperation and collaboration that we bring as trade associations and CUSOs to help credit unions better serve their members no matter where they are located," said Bonnie Kramer, FSCC executive vice president and COO. "We feel technology is one of the best ways to get more consumers to look closely at the services credit unions can provide and help the movement grow."

Shared branching has served the Puerto Rican diaspora well, officials said, especially in connecting those living in New York and Florida with credit unions on the island. The delegation visited two credit unions in Puerto Rico - Jesús Obrero in Guaynabo and Bonicoop in Aibonito - where they reviewed FSCC's shared branching technology and measured its use and acceptance among Hispanic members. Puerto Rican credit union officials described the challenges they faced during implementation and the success they have enjoyed since they began offering the service. Delegates were also able to witness live shared branching transactions and closely examine the system and its operations.

The Guatemalan delegation included Vinicio Garcia, CEO of Guadalupana credit union; FENACOAC Chair Felipe Godoy, CEO of UPA credit union; and FENACOAC staffers Deeynar León, director of research, development and technology; and Magda Escalante de Barrios, treasury and comptroller coordinator. The trip to Puerto Rico also included Nathan Rogers, FSCC vice president of marketing, and WOCCU staffers Victor Miguel Corro, senior manager of partnerships and training, and Joshua Fetting, partnerships officer.

The group's meetings in California stressed the roles that the leagues and FSCC play in strengthening the credit union movement and facilitating technology solutions. Guatemalan delegates examined shared branching applications in depth, measuring their potential impact on improving credit union efficiency and service in Guatemala.

"Bringing new markets to the global credit union movement is a key aspect to the project we're pursuing here," said FSCC's Rogers. "I am confident that we're not going to run into any technological hurdles that we can't overcome."

One aspect that bears further discussion is addressing regulatory criteria about moving funds from the United States to Guatemala. New requirements under U.S. Regulation E, which governs electronic funds transfer systems, will affect the nature of disclosure and other aspects of transparency that participants in any shared branching system will have to face, including both sending and receiving institutions. But the capabilities such a system would bring to Guatemalans living in the U.S.and seeking a low-cost alternative to current remittance capabilities between credit unions in the two countries make all efforts worthwhile, delegates said.

"We see the link that shared branching provides as another opportunity to grow and improve products and services," said FENACOAC's Corday. "We envision credit unions that go beyond traditional business lines, making this initiative an anchor for growth and modernization. We will be relentless in our work toward connecting our national shared branching system to that of the United States."

World Council of Credit Unions is the global trade association and development agency for credit unions. World Council promotes the sustainable development of credit unions and other financial cooperatives around the world to empower people through access to high quality and affordable financial services. World Council advocates on behalf of the global credit union system before international organizations and works with national governments to improve legislation and regulation. Its technical assistance programs introduce new tools and technologies to strengthen credit unions' financial performance and increase their outreach.

World Council has implemented more than 290 technical assistance programs in 71 countries. Worldwide, 60,500 credit unions in 109 countries serve 223 million people. Learn more about World Council's impact around the world at

Happy Wordcraft New Year!

Happy New Year from Wordcraft Circle!  This past year we had a wonderfully successful year!  From our work with incarcerated Native youth to Returning the Gift 2015, Wordcraft has been continuing to support the work and words of Native/Indigenous writers and storytellers through our many projects and programs.  And 2016 will be no different!

This year we have a dual focus on literacy and communications.  Both are necessary areas to support for Native youth and communities and we hope our ongoing projects will be able to have an impact for those communities and participants.  Those projects include:

  • WC Reads: our Native youth literacy program which features getting comic books into the hands of Native and Indigenous youth.  By donating a Native-centric, culturally engaging comic, we hope to encourage Native youth to read and express themselves in culturally viable ways.  You can read more about the program HERE!
  • Storykeepers: our storytelling training project funded by the Chamiza Foundation, Storekeepers is currently working in three sites in New Mexico to help train Native youth in the mechanics of storytelling.  We hope to expand to three more sites in the Southwest by year end.
  • Indigenous Theater Institute: in collaboration with Tricklock Theater Company (Albuquerque, NM), Wordcraft is launching the Institute to bring culturally engaging theatrical performances to Native and Indigenous communities throughout the United States.

In addition to our programs and projects, we also have ten planned/sponsored/participating events ready for 2016, including:

  • Common Ground on the Border
  • AWP Wordcraft Pre-Conference
  • IndigiSlam! Indigenous Poetry Slam Championship
  • Common Ground on the Hill
  • iCon: Indigenous Pop Culture Convention
  • Returning the Gift 2016 (25th Anniversary)
  • New Wordcraft Center

There are so many other exciting opportunities for 2016 and we hope you will continue to support our work by BECOMING A MEMBER or DONATING to Wordcraft today!

One to Ten Days

Friday, August 22nd, 2008 by | Filed Under: MS Office Help, MS Outlook

One to Ten Days

I’m sure most of you who use MS Outlook’s calendar know that you can customize exactly which days are displayed by highlighting them on the mini calendar.

But what if you aren’t very fond of the mouse and you’re looking for a quick way to change what you’re seeing with just the keyboard?

I’m sure some of you have wondered about that at some point, so today, I have a suggestion that will give you quick access for displaying one to 10 days, all with just a couple keystrokes.

All you need to remember is Alt + Number.

The “Number” I’m referring to would be the number of days you want displayed, starting with the day that’s currently selected.

There are a couple extra pieces of information you need to know:

  • First, you have to use the number keys at the top of your keyboard. The numeric keypad to the right does not seem to do the trick for this one.

  • Second, while displaying one through nine days is pretty obvious, in order to display 10 days, you have to use the zero.

There you have it. Calendar display control that doesn’t require a mouse!

Clinton Office Repeats Veto Threat on Nuclear Bill

Clinton administration repeated its threat to veto controversial legislation
establishing a permanent disposal site for radioactive waste produced by nuclear
power plants.

legislation, sponsored by Senate Energy Committee chairman and Alaskan
Republican Frank Murkowski, would build a permanent disposal site in the Nevada
mountains by the end of the decade to store some 40,000 metric tons of highly
radioactive waste currently store at 103 commercial nuclear power plants

the permanent depository is built inside Yucca Mountain, the legislation would
allow the nuclear waste to temporarily be stored above ground at the site.

Energy Department will issue a recommendation to the White House by 2001 on
whether Yucca Mountain should be the permanent home for the waste. The
administration estimates the legislation would cost approximately $1.2 billion
through 2005. The legislation would give the Energy Department title to
radioactive waste held by utilities.

Clinton administration opposes the current legislation because it authorizes the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), instead of the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), to set maximum radiation standards for a permanent waste site. EPA
in August proposed radiation limits that were much lower than those favored by
the NRC.

oppose storing nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain, claiming the depository would
lie on a earthquake fault line and radioactive material would find its way into
underground water at the site, leading to the contamination of drinking water.

Hundreds Turn Out at Auction to Benefit N.C. Schools

Posted August 27, 1999

— There was no shortage of eager bidders at the used car auction in Harnett County. Hundreds of people turn out to buy vehicles that were seized from repeat DWI offenders.

"A lot of people need cars, and they're not able to buy one at a dealer, so they come out here where you get a good deal," says Jeff Burke, who bought a 1978 pickup truck for $600.

The state has seized more than 5,000 vehicles from repeat DWI offenders since 1997. About 100 vehicles are seized each week in North Carolina.

School districts are supposed to profit when the cars are sold at auctions. But some are actually losing money. Profits from the auctions are supposed to benefit local school districts. But the average selling price for these vehicles is only about $500, which is less than it costs to tow and store the vehicles.

Under a new state-wide contract, every car that's seized will be brought to the lot in Harnett County, and sold to bargain hunters. State educators hope the new contract will also help school districts pocket a profit.

"And so the statewide contract is basically taking that burden away from them, putting it in the hands of somebody who is used to dealing in this kind of business, in the towing and storage business," said Derek Graham of the Department of Public Instruction.

Student Loan Debt Creates Drag on Economy

Posted April 10, 2013

Student loan debt is fast becoming a major problem in the United States. The level of student loan debt has now exceeded the amount owed on all credit cards. And it's growing.

While many of us have been crying out for some changes to the options consumers have to best handle student loan debt, no new changes are on the forefront. At least no good changes.

One upcoming proposal is to eliminate the fixed rate interest charged on student loans and instead make them variable interest. In good times that's a benefit but in times of high interest rates, the cost of servicing student loans will become a bigger burden.

Another change is an increase is scam companies that are popping up to charge student loan holders for help with their loans they can get for free from the Department of Education.

For the first time I can think of, the Federal Reserve has expressed concern over the level of student loan debt and is starting to pay attention that this debt is putting a drag on the economy.

If consumerism is the heart of the American economic engine, you can only imagine what can happen when people stop spending and start devoting more of their income to making student loan payments.

At a recent meeting of the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee the impression was, "Consumer credit sustained its moderate expansion in December and January. Nonrevolving credit continued to increase at a solid pace because of growth in student and auto loans, while revolving credit was roughly flat."

The Fed also said, "Both fiscal restraint and the high level of student debt were mentioned as risks to aggregate household spending over the forecast period."

If this was a good news / bad news situation at least we can find some comfort that federal backed student loans do have some reasonable programs to deal with the exploding burden of student loan debt. Private student loans on the other hand still do not have an opportunity at income based repayment plans or as many programs to discharge student loan debt completely.

For more information on dealing with student loan payments, see The Ultimate Guide to Dealing With Student Loans You Can’t Afford.

And student loan debt is not just the burden of 20-30 somethings. Americans age 60 and older owe roughly $43 billion in student loan debt and more than 10% are 90 days or more delinquent.

On top of this, more older American's are finding their Social Security checks garnished for delinquent student loans they either took out later in life or cosigned for the kids or grandkids. -  Source

Don't let student loans lull you into think they are good debt. They can reach up and ruin your life just like any other type of financial obligation.

Lately I've had more people writing to me they are actually contemplating suicide or leaving the country because of their struggle to live and meet their student loan obligations.

It's getting tough out here.

    Excellent job at making it through unscathed.

  • hihuwatlu Apr 12, 2013

    Student loans can be a great tool for paying for college but many students entering college lack basic financial knowledge and most high schools don't require a personal finance class. I put myself through college and had about $13000 in loans when I graduated. I hated taking out loans and never took more than I had to have.

  • steverhode Apr 11, 2013

    I completely agree. In the Triangle area we have such awesome community colleges as well that are a fantastic bargin to get the first two years out of the way.

  • tarheelgrad1998 Apr 11, 2013

    I've long believed student loan debt is the modern version of indentured servitude.

    The only way to turn around that sinking ship is for students to really analyze the cost/rewards of a certain college degree. There's no reason to go to an out of state party school when you can get the same education in state for half (or less). There's also no reason to take (for example) $200k in student loan debt for a degree that may eventually net a job making $50k on average. However, so long as young people continue to line up for loans with no regard for the future, all of the costs will just keep going up.

    In my youth, the message "get a degree" was repeated constantly. Now we need to slap an asterisk on that message.

  • steverhode Apr 11, 2013

    Federal student loans are forgiven currently for a number of reasons. The school went out of business, public service, military service, death, or disability.

    Even with these forgiveness programs the government still makes billions and billions each year in profit from student loan lending.

    "The Education Department, led by Arne Duncan, was expected to earn $33.5 billion off student loans made during the 2013 fiscal year, according to budget documents. The agency’s Direct Loan program delivered a $24 billion profit on loans made in 2012, and nearly $27.5 billion on 2011 loans.

    All told, over the last five fiscal years, the Education Department has generated $101.8 billion in profit from student borrowers, thanks to low borrowing costs for the government and fixed interest rates for students, budget documents show. Some student advocates have charged that the department is profiting off the backs of students."

  • Terkel Apr 11, 2013

    Question: when a student loan is "forgiven", meaning the recipient who took it out and bought a product with it now doesn't have to pay it back, who is charged for it?

Expanded Title:Three main branches of research into wetlands were identified during a workshop held in early 2002, wetland rehabilitation, wetland health and integrity and wise use of wetlands. The wetland rehabilitation was prioritised for two reasons. Firstly, it is estimated that South Africa has lost approximately 50% of its wetlands, and wetlands are increasingly being recognised as providing valuable services. And secondly, there has been substantial government expenditure on wetland rehabilitation through the Working for Wetlands project, which is linked to the Expanded Public Works Programme. This project was co-funded by Working for Wetlands to 50% of the budget. The main objectives were: The project leader must help to make this objectives meaningful. • Prioritisation of wetland areas for conservation and rehabilitation • System rehabilitation • Methodologies for rehabilitation (what about them???) Improve or develop??? • Synergy with other programmes (establish ??) • Institutional arrangements (establish or strengthen??) • Performance auditing These have been addressed in a series of 10 reports, and the titles and a brief overview of the contents of each are given below: 1.

Hulk Hogan Heavily Criticizes The Rock’s WWE Return

Nick Paglino

TNA star Hulk Hogan recently did an interview with Peter Rosenberg of HOT 97 FM. Hogan hyped the Impact taping in Fayetteville, NC being held tonight, and had the following to say concerning The Rock’s return to WWE:

"That is one of the reasons me and Vince McMahon don’t get along because we disagree on wrestling theory. He’s a genius. He has done a great job keeping the business alive and keeping it rolling."

When asked if there was something Hogan didn’t like about Rock’s return: "Yeah, yeah. There is certain ways to do things. You know, for The Rock to come out and say, we’ve gone from Austin 3:16 to The People’s Champion to all of a sudden, you can’t see me (in whiny voice). They spent so much time building John Cena up. If it was me I would have said, from the Austin era to The People’s Champion era to John Cena. And I just gotta know in my heart whose the better man. There is a way to really build somebody up. You know.

All of a sudden in three or four seconds he had the whole arena screaming that Cena sucks. Sometimes I just don’t understand the philosophy because John Cena is going to be there all the time. And even though The Rock said he was back, he was only back for one day. He isn’t going to be there wrestling every single week like John Cena is, you know, holding it down and keeping it real. All that stuff is scripted, they have Stephanie McMahon and writers telling The Rock exactly what to say. I just didn’t understand why they wanted to destroy Cena so quickly."

WWE On “Nightline” Recap: Future Goals Revealed, More

Matt Boone

The following is a recap of a feature on WWE that aired in a recent “Nightline” episode on ABC. The report is from Thaddaus Perkins and ProWrestling.net …

I stayed up and caught the news last night and WWE was featured on “Sign Of The Times” last night. It was a run down on how they wanted to expand to China and get the WWE more exposure. Some of the footage that was shown was the same that was played throughout the week they returned. A lot of different shots of the fans and action in the ring.

The reporter rode along with Big Show and Rey Mysterio and compared hand sizes. Rey showed her how some of them work out. She couldn’t even do it. In another hilarious bit, she asked Chris Jericho for some trash talking tips and he ripped into her fake English accent. She played him off a hand shake at the end. You could really tell she enjoyed herself and even got some of the crowd to get in on a chant with her. A little fluffer for WWE if you’re into that kinda thing.

Large Hadron Collider accelerates particles to record energy level

By Bryan Dyne and Don Barry
10 May 2010

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s leading instrument for understanding the nature and structure of subatomic physics, announced March 30 that the LHC had collided particles to 7 trillion electron-volts, the highest energy ever achieved in such a device, although only half the energy the accelerator is designed ultimately to reach.

Seven trillion electron-volts smashes the record for particle accelerator energies produced by mankind, exceeding by far the energies of Tevatron at Fermilab near Chicago. By comparison, a spark from a household appliance imparts an energy to individual particles within it of a hundred electron-volts, a factor of 70 billion less.

The LHC, located in Geneva, Switzerland, represents the realization of the aspirations, theoretical work, and engineering designs of thousands of scientists supported by a consortium of the major European states. The accelerator has a circumference of 17 miles and cost $10 billion to build, and the project has had to overcome major technical and engineering problems.

Physicists collide particles together at extremely high energies to create conditions reminiscent of the first instants of the universe, when space itself seethed with high energy particles. Exotic particles are created and then tracked by scientific instruments to record their properties, all to better understand the origin of the current structure of the universe and its history.

Although the accelerator has reached half of its designed performance level, it is currently colliding beams with a smaller volume of particles and less control than it eventually will, resulting in far fewer collisions. The number of collisions is expected to increase threefold as engineers learn to control the instrument.

A major task for this accelerator is to detect a particle called the Higgs boson, whose existence some theories of physics predict as a manifestation of the mechanism that imbues all objects in the universe with the property of mass.

The collider’s energies will be built-up very gradually in an effort to avoid the problems that produced a setback in September 2008. At that time, a misaligned magnet caused a beam to veer slightly off course, causing an explosion of helium within the accelerator ring.

When the project became more known to the general public, ill-formed criticism was aimed at the collider, claiming that so called micro black holes, subatomic versions of collapsed stars that have gravity that even light cannot escape, would be formed and (in the most fanciful version) swallow the Earth whole. In response, the leadership of the collider convened a committee to address the issue. The review, proceeding with an abundance of caution and the desire to educate, determined that any such micro black holes created would be so weak they will disappear the moment they are created. The committee also reminded critics that the collisions of the LHC are far less energetic than cosmic rays that collide with the Earth’s upper atmosphere on a constant basis, indicating that if the micro black holes had the capability to destroy the planet, they would have done so long ago.

Opponents of the LHC have called into question the high cost of the experiment, claiming that the money could be put to better use elsewhere. Currently, the collider has a total cost of $10 billion, including $40 million to repair damages caused by the 2008 explosion. A single fully equipped US aircraft carrier, capable of killing masses of people but producing nothing of value, costs approximately the same.

Apportioned over the European population, the cost of LHC is less than $12 per person. The rewards are an incalculable growth in understanding of the fundamental structure of the universe, rather than the destruction of even more life on Earth.

Once the focus of the beams reaches its maximum, the LHC is expected to run for another 18 months at the current energy before a scheduled year-long shutdown, during 2012, for maintenance, repairs, and upgrades. Then, in 2013, it will be restarted in an attempt to reach its maximum energy of 14 trillion electron-volts.

From here, it is expected to run for several years, collecting data that will lead to the discovery of the Higgs boson and other new physics. At that point, around 2020, long-term plans will come into play to upgrade the LHC to be able increase the number of particle collisions by a factor of 10. This project will require the collaboration of all the world agencies governing the collider, as well as the individual detectors, as the current detectors are not able to handle energies higher than 14 trillion electron-volts.

Over the next several months, the LHC will begin in earnest its discovery of the fundamental structure of the universe, a collaborative effort of some 60,000 scientists in the particle physics community.

Errani & Vinci Piling It On

Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci have been jet setting with no signs of jet lag over the last week, winning the Australian Open and now adding another two wins to their streak in Paris.

Published January 31, 2013 12:00

Errani & Vinci Piling It On
Venus Williams, Serena Williams, Roberta Vinci, Sara Errani

PARIS, France - From Melbourne to Paris, Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci just keep winning. The No.1 doubles team in the world have followed up their Australian Open triumph with a pair of wins to kick off their Premier-level campaign at the Open GDF SUEZ this week - jet setting with no signs of jet lag.

Errani and Vinci's run at the Australian Open was impressive for a few reasons, the first of which came earlier on in the tournament - their dramatic third round triumph over the Williams sisters.

"It was totally unexpected," Vinci said. "We were 63 53 down and both Serena and Venus served to close the match. We were also 3-0 down in the third. But we found a way to come back. We really don't know how we did it - we just told ourselves to go point by point without paying attention to the score.

"We just kept fighting and pushing each other."

They also had a tough one in the final - seeded No.1 with all the pressure on them, they rallied from a second set lapse to beat Australian wildcards Ashleigh Barty and Casey Dellacqua, 62 36 62.

"It was for sure a lot of pressure," Errani said. "We wanted to win, we were the favorites, and they were a wildcard - we knew it wouldn't be an easy match and that the momentum could change at any time, especially with the crowd on their side. But we managed to win in the end and it was a great feeling."

"We were very happy about our two weeks," Vinci said. "We managed to win matches without playing our best tennis. It's always fantastic to win a Grand Slam and we're pleased we did it in Australia."

The Australian Open final was on Friday afternoon and by Monday, Errani and Vinci were already back on the court, winning, and comfortably too - in the first round of their Open GDF SUEZ campaign, they needed just 55 minutes to beat all-French combo Alizé Cornet and Kristina Mladenovic, 61 62.

"The change of climate has been quite hard but we have adapted pretty fast - we actually slept really well when we got here, so nothing has really been an issue," Vinci commented. "We were really looking forward to playing singles and doubles again this week, so we're very happy to be here in Paris."

The Italians played their quarterfinal match on Wednesday and it wasn't anywhere near as routine - facing another all-French duo, Julie Coin and Pauline Parmentier, they rallied from a set down and came within two points of losing in the match tie-break but eventually made it through, 46 62 119.

Transgender troop ban faces scrutiny

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - An independent commission led by a former U.S. surgeon general has concluded there "is no compelling medical reason" for the U.S. armed forces to prohibit transgender Americans from serving and that President Barack Obama could lift the decades-old ban without approval from Congress, according to a report being released Thursday.

The report said Department of Defense regulations designed to keep transgender people from joining or remaining in the military on the grounds of psychological and physical unfitness are based on outdated beliefs that require thousands of current service members either to leave the service or to forego the medical procedures and other changes that could align their bodies and gender identities.

"We determined not only that there is no compelling medical reason for the ban, but also that the ban itself is an expensive, damaging and unfair barrier to health care access for the approximately 15,450 transgender personnel who serve currently in the active, Guard and reserve components," said the commission led by Dr. Joycelyn Elders, who served as surgeon general during Bill Clinton's first term as president, and Rear Adm. Alan Steinman, a former chief health and safety director for the Coast Guard.

The panel, convened by a think tank at San Francisco State University, said the ban has existed for several decades and apparently was derived in part from the psychiatric establishment's consensus, since revised, that gender identity issues amounted to a mental disorder.

The ban also appears based on the assumption that providing hormone treatment and sex reassignment surgeries would be too difficult, disruptive and expensive. But the commission rejected those notions as inconsistent with modern medical practice and the scope of health care services routinely provided to non-transgender military personnel.

"I hope their takeaway will be we should evaluate every one of our people on the basis of their ability and what they can do, and if they have a condition we can treat we would treat it like we would treat anyone else," Elders said in an interview with The Associated Press, which was provided along with the report ahead of official release.

At least a dozen nations, including Australia, Canada, England and Israel, allow military service by transgender individuals. Transgender rights advocates have been lobbying the Pentagon to revisit the blanket ban in the U.S. since Congress in 2010 repealed the law that barred gay, lesbian and bisexual individuals from openly serving in the military

"At this time there are no plans to change the department's policy and regulations which do not allow transgender individuals to serve in the U.S. military," said Navy Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen, a defense department spokesman.

The commission argued that facilitating gender transitions "would place almost no burden on the military," adding that a relatively small number of active and reserve service members would elect to undergo transition-related surgeries and that only a fraction might suffer complications that would prevent them from serving. It estimated that 230 transgender people a year would seek such surgery at an average cost of about $30,000.

Retired Brigadier General Thomas Kolditz, a former Army commander and West Point professor on the commission, said he thinks allowing transgender people to serve openly would reduce gender-based harassment, assaults and suicides while enhancing national security.

But Center for Military Readiness President Elaine Donnelly, whose group opposed the repeal of the ban on openly gay troops, predicted that putting transgender people in barracks, showers and other sex-segregated could cause sexual assaults to increase and infringe on the privacy of non-transgender personnel.

"This is putting an extra burden on men and women in the military that they certainly don't need and they don't deserve," Donnelly said.

The commission recommends the president issue an executive order instructing the Department of Defense to amend its regulations so transgender people are no longer automatically barred. The Pentagon then would need to develop rules for assigning service members who are transitioning, said Palm Center Executive Director Aaron Belkin, whose San Francisco State-based think tank commissioned the report.

The Palm Center, which previously researched "don't ask, don't tell," is funded in part by a $1.3 million grant from Jennifer Pritzker, a billionaire former Army lieutenant colonel who came out as transgender last year.

The Williams Institute, a think-tank based at the University of California, Los Angeles, estimates about 15,500 transgender personnel are currently serving, nearly all under their birth genders and not transitioning in an appearance-altering way.

Army Reserve Capt. Sage Fox, 41, was one until recently. Following a deployment to Kuwait, Fox started taking female hormones last year. In November, with her hair getting long and her voice higher, she notified her battalion commander, whom she says expressed support. At drill time, an announcement was made to 400 colleagues at the B.T. Collins Reserve Center in Sacramento.

For a few days, Fox thought she might escape the ban. But then she was informed she had been placed on inactive status.

"When I transitioned, I wasn't just a good officer, I became a better officer because I didn't have to deal with that conflict anymore," she said.

Report: Dryers waste $4B a year in energy costs

U.S. consumers are wasting $4 billion annually to power clothes dryers that, unlike other common household appliances, have barely improved their energy efficiency since the 1970s, a report today says.

A typical electric dryer may now consume as much energy per year as the combined use of an efficient new refrigerator, clothes washer and dishwasher, reports the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group. Homes pay more than $100 annually to run an electric dryer and $40 for a gas one, its report finds.

"Dryers have gone largely unnoticed," says Noah Horowitz, NRDC senior scientist, noting regulators have focused on other appliances. Since the 1970s, he says U.S. efficiency requirements have been updated seven times for fridges but only three times — each one modest — for dryers. As a result, new fridges — and dishwashers and washing machines — have more than halved their energy use.

Yet, he says Americans spend $9 billion annually to operate inefficient dryers, 75% of which are electric. He says they could save $4 billion of that — and reduce heat-trapping carbon-dioxide emissions — if all electric units were updated to the most efficient hybrid heat pump model sold overseas, mostly in Europe.

The Environmental Protection Agency is taking steps to boost dryer efficiency. Next year, for the first time, it will allow manufacturers to use the Energy Star label on dryers that use 20% less energy than the minimum efficiency standard. These models will likely have auto sensors that will stop the machine once clothes are dry.

In January, vented dryers — the bulk of the U.S. market — will face a new standard that will boost efficiency about 5%, says Kathleen Hogan, deputy assistant secretary for energy efficiency at the Department of Energy. She says that standard, finalized in 2011, was jointly developed by industry and environmental groups.

"There's more opportunity in dryers," Hogan says, adding DOE is working to improve its testing of dryer efficiency before it finalizes another standard, likely in 2017. She says heat pump dryers are becoming more common in Europe, where energy prices are higher, but remain expensive.

"We need to bring those prices down," she says. These dryers are efficient, because they recapture the hot air used by the dryer and pump it back into the drum to dry more clothes. They take longer, though, to dry clothes.

Horowitz welcomes the new Energy Star label but says stricter mandatory standards are needed. The good news, he says, is that consumers can take simple steps to cut costs. He says washing clothes in cold water can save 50 cents per load, and using the maximum spin speed will reduce the amount of time they spend in the dryer.

Unless in a hurry, he suggests consumers also pick a dryer's low temperature setting, fill the drum two-thirds to three-quarters full with clothes and, since the drum is already warm, do two or more loads consecutively. Best yet, he says, they can save the most energy with old-fashioned line drying.

Deke: Hokie says "that was the best Saints practice I've ever seen"

Saints practice moved quickly today, as the team had a longer than usual walk-through prior to stretching. "I thought today was the best practice I've seen under Sean Payton!" said Hokie Gajan. "It was fast paced, the practice was crisp, and I'd say it was 50-50 between the Saints offense and defense."

Once practice began, the Black and Gold got down to business. During position group work the Saints D-line hit the sled. Then, after the horn sounded, the Saints went into their first team period.

The Cajun Cannon noted a few highlights from the morning's practice. Veteran cornerback Champ Bailey had a nice interception this morning and Bobby thinks the future Hall of Fame player is having a productive camp.  "I'd definitely say he's in the top four cover CB's right now. He's making plays and his wisdom makes him real valuable."

Bobby used Saints CB Patrick Robinson as an example of the difference between having a good camp and a great camp. "P-Rob is doing all the right things and he is having a good camp.  But he'd would be having a great camp if he would make the interceptions he's supposed to."
One player that just continues to look un-rookie-like is Brandin Cooks.  The WR is having as good of a camp as anyone, and he gains more confidence and gets better each time he's on the field of play. Today #10 hauled in a deep ball from Drew Brees on a back shoulder throw.

Cooks was also the recipient of a middle screen that would have netted him about 70 yards. "I telling you Cooks, is no ordinary rookie," said Hebert.  "He's catching everything that is thrown to him, he's got good chemistry with all of the QB's - he's the total package."

I focused in on the Saints D-line once again.  In one-on-one drills against the offense, OT Zach Strief looked solid against DE Cam Jordan, LT Terron Armstead definitely held his own against DE Junior Gallette. OG Jahri Evans was solid in pass protection drills.

#97 Glenn Foster stood out as he bull rushed his way into the backfield over #69 Manase Foketi. And big Tyrunn Walker looked good in three exchanges as he had the upper hand going up against #65 Senio Kelemete.  Overall in the drill, I thought the O-Line looked better in one-on-one drills.

So now the Black and Gold will have their first day off tomorrow, as the team has gone through five days of practices including three days of full pads.  Be sure to listen to our pros Hokie and Bobby break down today's practice beginning at 4pm on WWL Radio.

More drama for the Schwarzenegger fam!

Arnold and Maria's youngest child, Christopher, was rushed to the hospital after a serious surfing accident last weekend, according to various online reports.

The 13-year-old was surfing in Malibu when the accident occurred, causing him to suffer multiple broken bones and a collapsed lung. A source tells PEOPLE: "Christopher has been in ICU since Sunday. Maria has not left his side and is sleeping at hospital."

Thankfully, he is expected to make a full recovery, according to reports.

In other news, Schwarzenegger recently filed documents asking a judge to terminate her spousal support request, even though Maria asked for it in her petition.

Arnold is also asking for joint custody of the pair's two minor children.

Animoto, with Boost from Amazon GPUs, Goes High-Definition

(Page 3 of 3)

wedding photographers, who typically resell the videos to their own clients, and realtors, hotel managers, and wineries, who use them for marketing, Jefferson says.

But Animoto still cares about average consumers, so it’s busy converting more styles to HD and creating better mobile apps—“This year we’re going to be investing very heavily in mobile, but making sure there are ways to monetize it,” Jefferson says. If Apple allows iOS developers to include an in-app subscription option in future apps, that could make Animoto’s iPhone app more profitable, as it would allow free users to upgrade to one of the premium plans, he says. An iPad app may also be in the works, but that depends in part on whether Apple’s anticipated iPad 2 includes both front and rear cameras, which would enable users to both shoot and assemble HD videos on the same large-screen device.

To handle all this work, Jefferson says the company plans to roughly double its staff this year, from 40 to 80, with about 30 engineers and marketers eventually working from San Francisco (as he always has) and the rest in New York.

Ultimately, Jefferson says Animoto is about helping users make snazzy, shareable videos without having to learn their way around complex desktop software like Apple’s iMovie or Microsoft’s Windows Movie Maker. Part of the startup’s advantage over potential rivals is a patent-pending “Cinematic Artificial Intelligence” engine that makes editing decisions based on the characteristics of a musical track—beat, tempo, energy, rhythm, and climactic elements—as well as attributes of the user’s images. “This whole process is part of our secret sauce to emulate what real Hollywood directors and editors do,” Jefferson says.

But while the visual effects may be handled by sophisticated algorithms, users themselves still have to capture the images, decide what order they should appear in, and choose a soundtrack. “It’s about creation, but creation as a means to an end,” says Jefferson. “What you’re really trying to do is share with your friends and family. When you sit down to iMovie or Windows Movie Maker, there is anxiety, because it’s work that has to be done. Animoto wants to relieve that creative anxiety altogether.” And provide a high-definition way to share precious memories.
