Someone's killing London's wittiest pamphleteers.
It's 1589 and England is embroiled in a furious pamphlet war between an impudent Puritan calling himself Martin Marprelate and publishing's brightest wits. The archbishop wants Martin to hang. The Privy Council wants the tumult to end. But nobody knows who Martin is or where he's hiding his illegal press.

2.0 out of 5 starsVERY, VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!
I really enjoyed the first two of these Francis Bacon Mysteries. They were fun and historically interesting. I had a hard time putting them down and I read both of them in short order and couldn't wait for the next. I enjoyed the storylines and the characters were well formed and interesting. The third book wasn't nearly as good but I managed to finish it, though not as quickly as the first two. However, this fourth book was, in my opinion, just cobbled together to get something out there. It was boring, tedious and hard to follow. Half way through, I didn't really care anymore. There were too many characters to keep track of and I didn't care about any of them. And, where was Ben?? Perhaps one day I'll finish this one. Unlikely, since, in my old age, I refuse to waste my time any more than necessary.
So, I've wasted $4.99. Oh well, lesson learned.
A man is publishing pamphlets under the pseudonym of "Martin Marprelate" calling for the reformation of the church in England in 1589. Two men are murdered early in the book and Francis Bacon is tasked with finding the murderers.
That is about it. The first 90% of the book is not about finding the murderers but about various people constantly getting together and wondering who Martin Marplate could be. It is no mystery to the reader because the reader is told early on who Martin Marplate really is. Even that person takes place in the seemingly endless discussions concerning who Martin Marplate really is. Oh, and as to the killer, at the end of the book he is asked and admits that he is the killer even though there is no real proof against him. I guess it was time to end this book so that is how it was done. I shall not be reading any more of these Francis Bacon "mysteries".
This book is so fun and such a real delight to read. Anna Castle is extremely good at creating lively and yet believable characters. This series has mystery, clever and witty dialogue, lovable characters, a bit of action and lots of intrigue. I look forward to the next Francis Bacon book.
Another fabulous entry in the Francis Bacon mystery series. This is the kind of book I really wanted to read slowly, to savor all of the delectable tidbits, but I couldn't put it down! I plan to re-read it just to give myself another chance to enjoy it. The mystery is tantalizing-- and I didn't figure it out-- and the layers of history and detail make it a true pleasure to read.
Characters based on persons from history adds depth and interest. This series provides an eye opening view of justice and the limitation of life options depending on ones status and family connections.

Q: Solution filters missing from recent projects and solutions in VS 2022 We have started to adopt the Visual Studio filtered solutions. We created 1 big solution (1200 projects) and about 100 solution filters.
We are experiencing inconsistent behaviour. In most of the cases Visual Studio does not save the recently opened solution filter as "recent projects and solutions". Sometimes is does though... and i cannot see when it does happen.
It might help if we understand the logic of find a way to trick VS to save it into the list. As it is very inconvient that developers have to navigate to the solution they are working in daily.
Is there any logic that determines when a (filtered) solution should be added to the Recent solutions list?

For anyone wanting to experiment with driving a stepper motor using an Arduino, you might want to try modifying the sketch below.
You'll probably need to modify the bit masks in directions() and enable() to get it running on any other model of Arduino than the Duemilanove (which uses an Atmega328P).
* This enables the board to drive a single two-phase, four-wire stepper.
* actual IC-to-digital line mapping for your particular board.
// the bits set in directions(), below.
// determine whether a current will flow through a given coil.
// steppers at full-step increments.
// these map to PORTB bits 4 and 5.
// these map to PORTB bits 2 and 3, respectively.
// This 700 microsecond delay gives time for current to rise sufficiently in each phase coil.
// awkward than decrementing [n] and working backward through the cases below.
// mirrors that going in the opposite direction.
// Read both buttons on the board: Each button causes the motor to rotate in one or the other direction.
// Notice that we don't use a delay at the end of this loop.
// to ensure that coil currents have risen to a sufficient magnitude to overcome mechanical losses.

HomePoliticsAOC Urges Illegals on the Street to Get Counted in the Census — Or Her Job Could Be Doomed
AOC Urges Illegals on the Street to Get Counted in the Census — Or Her Job Could Be Doomed
January 4, 2020 Politics
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stood on a sidewalk in the Bronx Wednesday and urged her constituents to be counted in the 2020 U.S. Census.
Ocasio-Cortez had a personal reason make the case for civic participation. On Monday, the U.S. Census Bureau confirmed what Democrats have long feared: New York's shrinking population will likely cost the state a congressional seat in 2022. And, as pollster Frank Luntz noted Tuesday, the progressive congresswoman's district is said to be a leading candidate to get the axe.
New York is expected to lose a House seat after the 2020 Census, and state Democrats are looking to draw out @AOC's district.https://t.co/DYXvzqvWXm
— Frank Luntz (@FrankLuntz) December 31, 2019
Ocasio-Cortez herself said in a February 2019 interview with The Intercept that "it's entirely possible" the New York legislature will redraw the congressional map without her 14th district, which stretches from the eastern part of the Bronx into Queens. A reporter for the left-wing news site suggested state Democrats were eager to rid themselves of their socialist "problem" — though she predicted Ocasio-Cortez would win a different seat in the state.
For her part, Ocasio-Cortez characteristically sought to blame President Donald Trump. Echoing a common Democratic refrain, she complained that his administration has "targeted" heavily immigrant communities like hers, including by trying to add a citizenship question to the Census. As a result, she said many immigrants fear that responding to the questionnaire could get them or their loved ones busted by immigration officials.
Because the Census includes non-citizen U.S. residents for the purpose of apportioning congressional seats, undercounting of immigrants could reduce the representation of states like New York that have large immigrant populations, and which tend to lean Democratic.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez can't fight the U.S. Census
As Ocasio-Cortez greeted her constituents on the street Wednesday, she explained to The City, a local news site, that her goal was to spread the message that it is safe to participate in the Census.
"Our strategy is all about building trust in the community before the enumerators even come to your door," she said.
Ocasio-Cortez made clear she was particularly focused on winning over illegal immigrants.
"There's been an increased use of one's immigration status as a form of intimidation," she said. "We have a high immigrant population, a lot of undocumented folks, a lot of distrust from the community in the government."
According to an analysis by The City, nearly half the residents of Ocasio-Cortez's district are foreign born, and more than a quarter of them are non-citizens.
"That's a higher percentage than any other congressional district in the state," the reporters noted.
Even if Ocasio-Cortez succeeds in driving up her district's participation in the Census, though, the larger trend is clear. New York's population has been dwindling for years because residents are leaving. In 2010, the state lost two congressional seats as a result.
Last year, the Census Bureau estimated, more than 180,000 New Yorkers departed for other states.
Meanwhile, California, which recorded its lowest level of population growth in over a century, lost an estimated 200,000 people to domestic migration and is expected to be docked a Congressional seat for the first time in its history.
Across the United States, the Census Bureau found, population growth has ground to 0.5 percent, the slowest rate in decades, due to a sharp decline in immigration, few births and the aging of America.

Italy earthquake: A country in mourning begins burying the dead
By: ABC57 Staff
Posted: Aug 27, 2016 8:36 PM EST | Updated: Aug 27, 2016 8:39 PM EST
By Atika Shubert, Livia Borghese and Angela Dewan CNN
ASCOLI PICENO, Italy (CNN) -- Italy began the painful task of burying its dead Saturday following a massive earthquake, as aftershocks rattled the heart of the country and the death toll climbed to 290.
In the town of Ascoli Piceno, a state funeral was held in a local gym, a basketball net the backdrop of the altar.
Thirty-five coffins adorned with flowers and framed photographs sat in three rows for victims from the town of Arquata del Tronto.
Taped at the foot of each coffin was a white paper bearing the name of the deceased.
Before the ceremony, family members clustered around each coffin; at one, a teenager sat beside it on the floor, weeping inconsolably. One family encircled a coffin with peach-colored flowers and held each other in a long embrace.
Hundreds of people attended the Catholic ceremony of prayers, Bible readings and hymns, many themselves survivors in casts and bandages. A wall hanging of Jesus on a crucifix overlooked the grieving community, as mourners fanned themselves in the stifling heat.
'A new spring'
Bishop Giovanni d'Ercole led the ceremony, telling the painful story of a little girl who was saved from the rubble, her sister found dead on top of her, apparently shielding her sibling.
"They were holding each other, between them in embrace, both death and life," he said.
"A lot of the dead were children. So a thought to you young people -- we are now living in a time of war ... The earthquake is like a war because nature does not forgive. We have to defend ourselves because it is wise. We must have a dialogue with nature and never provoke nature," he said.
But he also said that after the tragedy, the communities affected would be given new life: "A new spring and a new birth come."
"Faith is difficult. But faith shows us how to start again, with your feet on the ground and your face towards heaven."
The bishop led Holy Communion and blessed the dead, waving incense over their coffins, as mourners signed the cross.
Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and President Sergio Mattarella arrived at the funeral, the latter after visiting Amatrice, a town reduced to rubble where the vast majority of deaths occurred.
The leaders met with mourners and consoled them, making sure to reach each and every family. The President also visited an emergency camp in Accumoli and Pescara del Tronto, CNN Affiliate RAI reported, on what was declared a national day of mourning.
'They're dead inside'
Outside the gym, 20-year-old Paul Manaut from Rome said he had been on holiday in the region with his family but had returned home to Rome when the quake struck. He grabbed everything he had from his apartment that would be of use -- toilet paper, shampoo -- and rushed back to the area, finding that he had lost some of his friends.
After the service, he told CNN that he hoped to start a Facebook campaign to help raise money to buy items for victims, including televisions so that the kids could play video games and the adults could watch movies to forget the disaster.
"They need help. They're not strong enough yet. They haven't even realized what happened. With our help and everybody's help, we're going to build them up, because it's not the houses that fell -- a house is a house ... It's the people, they're dead inside," he said.
Aftershocks continue
Even as communities mourned, the aftershocks rattled central Italy early Saturday, the US Geological Survey reported.
The rescue efforts continue through the aftershocks, though hopes of finding more people alive are quickly fading. Experts say the chances of survival drop significantly after a 72-hour period, a window that closed early Saturday.
In a hospital in Ascoli Piceno, one man talked about how he lost his mother in the earthquake.
"My first thought is my mother is here but I can't help her," Mattia Rendina said from his hospital bed, his bones fractured, his face bruised.
"She passed away to God. She's gone now," he said, tears welling up in his eyes.
"I'm like this because my mother [taught] me to be a person like this. To be strong."
2,500 displaced in camps
To accommodate the displaced, emergency camps have been set up across affected areas, offering food, shelter and psychological support to those who have lost their homes and loved ones.
The Civil Protection Agency said 2,500 were living in the camps, and that more were being built to meet the enormous need.
Images from an Amatrice camp showed people lining up for pasta and an elderly couple sitting on the edge of mattresses on a gym floor, having a meal as those around them hugged and consoled one another.
The Italian Council of Ministers approved a state of emergency Thursday for the regions affected by the earthquake, allocating 50 million euros (about $56.5 million) in funding.
Residents gathered at a square in Amatrice, some of the women crying and hugging, as dust still lingered in the air. Men stood in stoic silence.
'So many dead, so many children'
At a camp in Sant'Angelo, northeast of Amatrice, people gathered and shared their stories of loss.
"There is no hope, too many people dead. And Amatrice doesn't exist anymore," Angelina Leone said, holding back tears. "Amatrice has disappeared, and there are so many dead, so many children."
At yet another camp in Accumoli, Anna Maria Volpetti, 52, said she had been visiting her hometown with her family when the quake hit.
"We are lucky," she said. "The earthquake was brutal. It came in waves."

Deborah Rhode Memorial
Managing Sudden Death, Grief, and Loss in Close Community
Not Your Usual Law Review Essay
by Swethaa S. Ballakrishnen on October 15, 2021
Deborah Rhode's intellectual largesse has been central to chronicles of her legacy for good reason. For the innumerable who have encountered her illustrious writing and expansive career, her passing has meant the loss of a visionary thinker and leader: the end of an era, the loss of a giant who, across fields, did not shy from hard questions or difficult analysis when considering ethical ends and law's true purpose. To junior colleagues, mentees, and students over decades and sites, it has meant the loss of a true champion and path-maker, someone whose favorite use of her letterhead was in service of others. To her collaborators, it has meant the loss of a generous colleague, someone who did not take shortcuts and whose commitments to causes bigger than her were always evident as a reflective and inspiring example.
Hard Questions About 'Soft Skills'
A Celebration of Deborah Rhode's Scholarship
by Irene Oritseweyinmi Joe on October 15, 2021
This Essay celebrates the life and scholarship of Professor Deborah Rhode by centering her pivotal contributions on character and leadership in the legal profession to the national conversation about criminal justice reform. Deborah unmasked the systemic deficiencies in identifying and informing the character and leadership necessary for the institutional actors of the criminal process. Her contribution to the national discourse requires reformers to ask hard questions about the essential soft skills of those individuals tasked with providing legal representation to the most marginalized among us. As scholarship by transformational scholars and mentors like Deborah Rhode often does, her work inspires conversations about what it means to be an institutional actor in the criminal process. It also leaves a roadmap for those fortunate enough to have worked and learned from her to pursue answers to these questions. Her legacy speaks to both those who seek to advance justice through their practice of law and those who advance our understanding of law by researching the institutions tasked with ensuring systemic integrity in a criminal process that is increasingly coming under criticism.
She Stood Up
The Life and Legacy of Deborah L. Rhode
by Nora Freeman Engstrom on October 15, 2021
If you look closely, you will see an anomaly. There are twenty-seven men and five women pictured. Of the latter, four are in dresses and sitting. One, however, is in pants. And she is standing up. That woman is Deborah L. Rhode. She's standing because, when she was instructed to sit, she politely but firmly refused. And that, my friends, is the point.

Henry Lupa made his vision for a zoo become a reality.
In its literature, Ludlow's Lupazoo is described as "a conservation and education institution demonstrating the value, beauty, and interdependence of all living things." In simpler terms, the game farm opened four years ago is a promise kept by Henry Lupa, a Polish émigré who told his young children nearly 30 years ago that when he had the resources he would build a park with animals to enrich and educate the community. It took considerable patience, hard work, and research to make the dream reality, but Lupa was true to his word.
Henry Lupa has a soft spot for the white-tailed deer.
There are many reasons why, but primarily because it is with one of these docile animals that the remarkable story of the zoo that bears his name really began.
Lupa, a Polish émigré who had long desired to create a zoo (more on that later), began dabbling in the early '70s with a small, backyard collection of animals that started with a deer called Betsy. One incident involving her has stayed with him for more than three decades and hits squarely at what exactly it is that motivates him.
"I had a little enclosure for the deer, and one day I was coming home from work to feed the deer, and I saw a car near the pen. I saw a woman and a young boy, who was screaming and crying," Lupa recalled, using heavily accented English. "The woman told me that the boy was abused by her husband, that he was 4 years old. He was shaking and did not speak. She told me she did not have money to take him to a doctor to cure him.
The boy returned on several occasions to the Lupa property off Nash Hill Road in Ludlow, getting better over time. His progress helped steel Lupa's resolve to build a zoo, a promise he made to his own children not long after arriving in Western Mass. from his native Krakow in 1965. It took more than 30 years to make the dream reality — with hurdles including everything from the financial commitment to the laborious process of obtaining a license from the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) in 2002.
Looking back, Lupa said that at times he became frustrated with the slow pace of progress and the sheer volume of oversight, but it has all been worth it.
Indeed, the level of pride is palpable as he conducts a tour of the facility, which is literally in his backyard — his residence abuts the 56-acre parcel he purchased for his park. Lupa knows each animal by name (both common and proper) and reputation. He also talks at length about the living quarters, diet, and any special needs, habits, or behavioral traits of the resident in question.
Lupa has plenty of time to observe the monkey and the hundreds of other zoo residents. He is essentially retired from the construction company he started a few years after arriving in this country and devotes most of his time to the zoo. This is a family business, he explained, noting that his son Stanley and daughter-in-law Carla manage the venture known as Lupa Game Farm Inc. — one of the few nonprofit, privately owned zoos in New England.
It receives some support in the form of donations from individuals and businesses, but most of the funding comes from the Lupa family, which keeps admission costs low ($5 for adults) and admits children under 12 and all those with handicaps free of charge. This is just part of the zoo's broad mission to educate, said Lupa, noting that to do this it must continue to expand its offerings — and its population.
Only 15 of the 56 acres Lupa acquired years ago are now being utilized, meaning there is ample room to grow. For the immediate future, Lupa said he would like to add some exotic cats, perhaps some ocelots or bobcats, and is seeking corporate help to make that happen.
This issue, BusinessWest looks at how, by trying — and doing — his best, Lupa has created a truly unique center for learning.
Pausing at an area set aside for large, flightless birds, Lupa offered a quick dissertation on the ostrich, and a slightly painful one at that.
"He could kill a lion," Lupa said of the six-foot-tall bird now pecking at his hand through a wire fence nearly as tall as the animal. "Not with his mouth, but with his leg; he can kick, and he's very powerful.
That list would include a few young alligators, some of the other birds on the premesis, and something called the 'African jungle cat,' a close cousin of the domestic feline but one that has spent many more hours in the gym.
Lupa has acquired these and the hundreds of other animals from a variety of sources; some come from other zoos that are closing, downsizing, or selling some newborns. Others come from auctions of exotic animals — Lupa attends two such events in Ohio each year and brought home an albino skunk from his most recent visit. Harvard University donated 10 monkeys of the common marmoset variety, and one of the alligators came from a local college after it confiscated the reptile from a student.
But while the question of how the zoo's population – which now includes Himalayan bears, yaks, kangaroos, 20 species of monkeys, and more than 300 varities of birds – has been assembled is intriguing, the why is what makes this story so fascinating.
Lupa's specific motivation was to create a facility that would give young people, especially those with handicaps or from poorer families, a place to go. He vowed to his wife and three sons that when he had the financial wherewithal to do so, he would create a zoo.
The educational and healing qualities of a zoo were demonstrated in that chance encounter between Betsy and the young boy.
Lupa eventually acquired the needed resources through the growth of his entrepreneurial venture, N. L. Construction, which specializes in commercial projects, including schools, fire stations, and other municipal buildings. That background in construction has helped Lupa as he's gone about the task of creating living quarters for the zoo's population — work he describes as a labor of love — and he has used left-over building materials and some donated labor from his employees, many of whom are from Europe, to build those customized homes.
When asked about the assorted logistics of creating a zoo and the business aspects of this venture, Lupa said it takes much more than mere love of animals to make such a facility work. It takes research, patience, hard work — and some capital.
Lupa said he started with a small petting zoo, with Betsy and a few other animals. He was advised to move on to goats and other farm animals to show that he could effectively care for a small, diverse collection. Upon passing that test, he graduated to exotic birds and different species of animals, building a portfolio, as well as the trust of the USDA, in the process.
When designing and building facilities for the zoo's residents, Lupa works to create enrichment for those on both sides of the fence, or glass. For example, the giraffes' home includes a set of stairs and a landing, enabling visitors to attain the same height as the animals, and to actually reach out, feed them, and touch them.
Visitors can get even closer to a pot-bellied pig named Daisy, who can be found, usually sound asleep, on the floor in a building that houses monkeys, reptiles, and other assorted residents. "She'll probably live forever," joked Lupa, as he tried, unsuccessfully, to rouse the animal from slumber, "because her heart probably beats twice a day.
And such introductions are a vital part of the zoo's two-part mission — to entertain and, especially, to educate, said Lupa. He noted that the facility has a theater for educational programs, a highly interactive Web site, and several initiatives to promote awareness on conservation, the environment, and even alternative fuels; the zoo runs on bio-diesel.
Fun learning would also describe Lupa's long journey from conceptualizing a zoo to making his a reality. He told BusinessWest that he has visited dozens of zoos and has brought home concepts and inspiration from each of them.
As he offered the giraffes another bag of treats, Lupa recalled the story of an elderly woman from a local nursing home.
Many similar, if less emotional stories have been scripted thanks to this visionary's generosity and determination to create a center for learning and, in many cases, healing.
To make a long and truly wonderful story short … Henry Lupa kept his promise.

REMEMBER this is combined with withdrawal of water and food, which can affect the way the patient's body responds (METABOLISES) the drugs.
All of the following can be given intravenously or subcutaneously under the skin. Medicine given in this way is absorbed slowly sometimes over 24 hours.
SEDATIVES
ATROPINIC AGENTS
Known as benzodiazepines: a group of drugs used for sedation includes: Midazolam also known as Hypnovel.
This benzodiazepine drug is generally used for sedation, particularly in patients undergoing minor surgery, those in intensive care prior to anaesthesia.
In particular special care should be given to the elderly, debilitated patients, those with liver kidney or heart disease and lung disease, breathing difficulties and so on.
Side effects include: dizziness, headache, confusion, breathing difficulties, hallucinations, ataxia – lack of muscular coordination, euphoria, impairment of judgement and dexterity, convulsions,
Other side effects include anterograde amnesia – loss of memory of events long ago, skin rashes, slight increase in heartbeat, reddening of the skin, dilation of blood vessels, thrombosis and low blood pressure and so on.
Such as morphine also known as MST Continus (slow release) Oramorph, Sevredol, SRM Rhotard.
Be aware that the use of morphine as a pain killer can be very effective. The problem seems to arise from the combination of the drugs administered and the overuse of morphine. Also, as we pointed out the way in which the body metabolises (processes) drugs is affected by lack of fluids.
Morphine belongs to a group of drugs called narcotic analgesics.
Generally used to relieve severe pain caused by injury, surgery, heart attack, or chronic diseases such as cancer. It's available as tablets, liquid, granules, injection, suppositories.
Very high doses can result in irregular breathing severe drowsiness or loss of consciousness. In the over 60s there is an increased likelihood of adverse effects.
Common side effects include: drowsiness, nausea/vomiting, constipation, dizziness. In rare cases confusion and breathing difficulties. Morphine can increase the sedative effects of other sedating drops including antidepressants, antipsychotics, sleeping drugs and antihistamines.
Such as Hyosine, Hydrobromide or Buscopan. In this instance the drug is used to counter and reduce mucus secretions.
Side effects include: dilation of the pupils and increased heart rate. Atropine and Scopolamine are capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier and are, therefore, likely to produce CNS (central nervous system) side effects such as drowsiness, confusion, delirium, hallucinations, paradoxical agitation, and restlessness.
Patients may be given one or all of these drugs.
Dr. Gillian Craig in "No Water – No Life Hydration and the Dying", has this to say,
There are times in the care of the dying 'when it is necessary to use benzodiazepines, phenothiazines and barbiturates to sedate a patient in order to relieve intolerable distress where dying is complicated by an agitated delirium or tracheal obstruction'. In skilled hands no person should die in pain whatever the cause of the illness. Whatever the underlying pathology 'the cardinal ethical principle remains that the treatment goal must be achieved with the least risk to the patient's life. As a last resort some advocate the use of high-dose analgesia and induction of sleep with continuous intravenous midazolam.
I would add – and in a manner that is acceptable to the patient's closest relatives".
Dr. Patrick Pullicino, Professor of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Kent, Canterbury, in a letter sent to The Catholic Herald in which he comments on the kind of medicine being practised under the LCP.
Instead, a new kind of reverse-medicine is imposed, which treats confusion with sedatives (instead of avoidance of these), breathlessness with opiates which are usually contraindicated," (works in the opposite direction) "and secretions with atropinic agents (which encourage pneumonia). These changes have been justified because they restore the 'dignity' of the dying patient – but they do in fact hasten death, even in individuals who are not imminently dying.

"I don't think Tri-State is on the verge of implosion," says one observer as the energy provider proposes more flexible requirements for members.
As a Colorado energy provider deals with an insurgence of member co-ops seeking cleaner power and better rates, a deal being discussed this week may allow it to hang on to its biggest customers, as well as solicit new ones.
A tentative agreement about a bylaw change will be reviewed March 6 at a special meeting of the 43 member co-operatives of Tri-State Generation and Transmission in Colorado and three adjoining states. United Power, a cooperative serving 90,000 members near Denver, had announce in November that it wanted to negotiate a better deal, on the heels of two other member co-ops seeking to leave entirely.
John Parker, the chief executive of United Power, says the change being studied would achieve substantially what United wants.
"It's not perfect, but it's so close that we are certainly going to support it, at least if it's in the form that we saw at the last meeting," said Parker recently.
United wants a partial-requirements contract, to allow it to shop for resources, especially renewables, that are cheaper, "so that we can start bending our cost curve down and benefit the membership (of United)," says Parker.
Members of Tri-State currently have all-requirements contracts. They can generate up to 5 percent of their own power and, at least in some cases, more. But they cannot buy power off the open market.
Parker said that United's demand has nearly doubled in the last five years, owing not only to residential and commercial growth in the co-op's service territory but also because of escalating demands in the booming Wattenberg oil and gas field. In the next three to five years, United expects another 50 to 70 percent growth in demand.
The heavy carbon footprint of Tri-State's power has also become a potential issue with new corporate customers, according to a letter United sent to other co-ops in early November in an invitation to examine Tri-State's path. The co-operative competes for customers on Denver's northern flanks with Xcel Energy, which has promised to reduce the carbon footprint of its portfolio 80 percent by 2030 as compared to 2005 levels.
Carbon content of Tri-State's electricity has become an issue with at least one other member. Directors of Durango-based La Plata Electric last fall adopted a goal of achieving 50 percent carbon-free electricity by 2030. The 30,000-member co-op also has a committee of directors studying options, including a potential exit from Tri-State.
Poudre Valley REA in September submitted a letter expressing concern about the lack of clear efforts to take advantage of plunging prices of wind and solar.
Tri-State remains heavily invested in coal and natural gas generation. A recent filing by WildEarth Guardians with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission noted that coal was responsible for 41 percent and natural gas 26 percent of Tri-State's generating portfolio as of 2017. Rates have also been rising more rapidly than energy prices altogether, 56 percent since 2005. United Power thinks they should, if anything, be coming down as more renewables get integrated into the grid.
However, Tri-State has promised stable rates for at least the next several years as it adds renewables and closes coal plants. It had an 8 percent stake in a unit at the now shuttered San Juan Generating Station in New Mexico. In Colorado, it will retire a small coal plant at Nucla in 2022 and has a 24 percent ownership in Craig Station Unit 1, which is to retire by the end of 2025.
About 32 percent of energy consumed by Tri-State members comes from renewable sources. Wind and solar capacity will rise 45 percent by 2023 as a result of two new projects announced this year: the 100-megawatt Spanish Peaks Solar Project about 20 miles east of Ludlow and other one-time coal-mining camps in southern Colorado and the 104-megawatt Crossing Trails Wind Farm in eastern Colorado.
Spokesman Lee Boughey says Tri-State chose to add renewables at a "measured pace," in order to take better advantage of renewables after prices plunged.
The addition of renewables and the potential new partial-requirements classes could also be viewed as a response to simmering revolt. One member, New Mexico's Kit Carson Electric, left "the family," as co-operative members are often called, in 2016. Another member, Delta-Montrose Electric, also wants out, but has been unable to agree upon a fair exit fee with Tri-State. The Colorado Public Utilities Commission has agreed to try to sort out what constitutes a fair price at a week-long hearing scheduled for June. Whatever the PUC rules, the dispute is expected to then move to a civil court.
The bylaw change, if it occurs, would also allow Tri-State to supply new customers. Mike Dreyspring, general manager of La Plata Electric, says he believes that motivates Tri-State more than the desire to fulfill United's wish for partial requirements.
Tri-State is already negotiating with six municipalities in Colorado collectively supplied by the Arkansas River Power Authority. Rick Rigel, the authority's general manager, says Tri-State would refinance $135 million in debt principal and assign to Tri-State the authority's existing power contracts, including the low-cost power from federal dams. He says he believes the deal could be consummated by summer if one of the six towns, La Junta, approved. Other towns and cities that have already indicated support are Holly, Trinidad, Las Animas, Lamar, and Springfield.
The authority has lingering debt from an attempt that began in 2005 to retrofit a natural gas plant into a "clean coal" plant. The plant failed to produce emissions that met federal clean air standards.
Tri-State's Boughey says the association can sell power to the Arkansas River towns now. A new class of membership could allow long-term contracts for not just power but also transmission services and expertise. "The bylaw change would create additional flexibility about how we would structure potential relationships," he says.
Jeff Wadsworth, general manager of Poudre Valley REA, says new membership classes would also allow Tri-State to seek new customers from among co-ops currently supplied by Xcel Energy. They include Steamboat Springs-based Yampa Valley Electric and, along the Front Range south of Denver, Intermountain Rural Electric Association.
One major question will be how partial-requirements contracts will leave other members whole financially. In other words, by reducing demand, will the fixed costs for transmission and generating facilities be shifted fairly onto remaining members with all-requirements contracts.
That will be a central question when directors of Highline Electric Association, which serves primarily center-pivot sprinklers around Holyoke, Colo. review the proposed bylaw change. Mark Farnsworth, the general manager, says the question also remains of whether the proposed changes will leave Tri-State stronger or weaker will be at the core of the discussion in coming weeks.
"There is just a lot to be determined about how to keep other members whole," says Mike McBride, general manager of Gunnison County Electric Association. "It's encouraging that we are having the conversations and exploring the possibility," he adds.


It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of René Kouassi in early January 2019. Kouassi, an economics professor from Côte d'Ivoire, was the director of economic affairs at the African Union Commission, a post he occupied since 2003. He was a strong defender of Africa's regional integration. In 2018, Kouassi initiated the Africa's Development Dynamics series, the new joint flagship publication of the African Union Commission and the OECD Development Centre. For more than a decade, Kouassi was in charge of overseeing the work of four AU divisions, namely economic policy and research, private sector development, statistics, and regional integration and co-operation. Kouassi started his academic career at the University of Abidjan in 1985, where he worked as a lecturer and researcher for more than a decade. Kouassi obtained a post-graduate diploma (DEA) in economics from the University of Clermont-Ferrand in France (1985) and a PhD in development economics from the University of Versailles (1995).

Jonas E. Salk, the inventor of the first successful polio vaccine, will return to his high-school alma mater--Townsend Harris High School at Queens College in New York--this month to deliver the main address at ceremonies inaugurating the school's reopening in a new guise.
Townsend Harris, a selective public school that focuses on the humanities, "was special to my development as a person," Dr. Salk said in a prepared statement. "The faculty was exceptional, the students were exceptional. ... The challenge now is to recreate that whole, that something special that Townsend Harris represented."
Dr. Salk, a 1931 graduate, will receive an honorary Doctor of Science degree from the school for his work on the polio vaccine and for his current medical research at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego.
The high school was founded in 1848 by Townsend Harris, the first U.S. Ambassador to Japan and the founder of the City College of New York. The original school, which stood on the campus, admitted only boys. In 1942, Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia closed the school to provide more space for college programs during World War II.
The reopened school is coeducational; its enrollment is expected to reach 1,200 over the next four years.
Judith Berman Brandenburg, associate dean and dean of academic life at Yale University, has been 3named the new dean of Teachers College, Columbia University. She succeeds P. Michael Timpane, who became president of Teachers College Sept. 1. Ms. Brandenburg, who will assume her new duties in January, is the first woman to hold the position.
Ms. Brandenburg, a former high-school teacher, has been affiliated with Yale for seven years, where she also taught psychology.
According to a Teachers College spokesman, she was involved in the creation of Yale's women's-studies program and has conducted research on undergraduate coeducation and on gender differences in students' attitudes, aptitudes, and achievements.
James S. Coleman, Lawrence Cremin, and Eleanor Gibson, all noted for their work in education, have received honorary degrees from the School of Education of the State University of New York at Albany.
The school also gave "distinguished service" awards to Fred M. Hechinger, education columnist for The New York Times, and to Albert Shanker, president of the American Federation of Teachers.
Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Democrat of New York, gave the keynote address at the ceremony, which was part of a three-day celebration of the 140th anniversary of the education school. The celebration also featured an exhibition of materials from the school's archives and the awarding of "professional-excellence" commendations to seven Albany-area public-school teachers.
The University of Texas at Austin has announced that Charles Wash-ington, a 17-year-old football player convicted of armed robbery, will be allowed to enroll at the institution next spring and will be eligible to play next season.
Fred Akers, coach of the university's football team, said last month that he and the university's president, Peter Flawn, made the decision to allow Charles, an all-American player from Spruce High School in Dallas, to enroll. Charles, who served 43 days in a detention center and was sentenced to five years probation, will also receive an athletic scholarship.
He will be allowed to participate in spring training and will still have four years of college eligibility, beginning next fall, Mr. Akers said.
"Everybody else thinks he deserves a second chance--the judge and the legal people," Mr. Akers told the Associated Press. "And I'm in agreement."

I go on to Hirosaki, Japan's apple capital. Already more than three weeks ago my mum sent a package from Germany to my hosts here. Medical supplies, my new credit card, most important however are German sweets/candy which I need urgently. On arriving at my host's the package still hasn't arrived. Yet I have three more days in Hirosaki before going on to Aomori, my last city located on Japan's main island, Honshu. My hosts Tori and Kyle are U.S. Americans, both teach English. After spending three days in Hirosaki the package still hasn't arrived. I can't help it. I have to go on without the package as there already have been some first reports about snow in Hokkaido. So I don't have a lot of time left to end my tour safely. But this really becomes an issue for me as I can't survive log without the package. On one hand I have to reach Hokkaido before onset of winter. But that's almost impossible – without German candy. I simply can't do that!
On a warm sunny autumn/fall day I set forth for the harbour town, Aomori. The autumn foliage is true eye candy which eases my hunger for real candy – at least for a day.
Ted in Aomori is my first host who speaks Mandarin and Japanese as second languages but comes from the U.S.A. He had lived for some years in China. Of course he's an English teacher here. He takes me to a small restaurant, introduces me to his friends: "He comes from Otsuchi." "Otsuchi?", I'm asking, "that Otsuchi located on the east cost in the Tsunami area?" "You know it? Yes!", the man responds surprised. I tell him that I raise donations for the Midori Kindergarten there and it turns out that my conversation partner and the kindergarten manager were classmates. A Japanese couple eavesdrops our conversation becomes curious and asks questions. Just before they set off they thrust a donation for the kindergarten into my hands.
It is my last day in Aomori and tomorrow my journey goes on via ferry to Hakodate, Hokkaido's southern most port town. Even though I will travel over 100 km on the sea I could also take the train. Honshu and Hokkaido are connected by the world's longest operating train tunnel, the 53 km long Seikan Tunnel. However this tunnel will have lost it's status in 2017 as the longest to the 57 km long Gotthard Base Tunnel in Switzerland. And will be placed on rank three when the 55 km long Brenner Base Tunnel will be completed around 2025 connecting Austria and Italy.
A mail from Tori reaches me – the package has arrived. Four hours to departure of the ferry. Now I could take the train back to Hirosaki only 50 km away from here. But I learn the package is no longer in Hirosaki. As Tori's husband Kyle teaches here in Aomori he already took the package with him and I pick it up at his school near the docks. Extremely exhausted, already trembling and using the last of my strength I reach Kyle, rip the package out of his hands, rupture it and insert the candy into my mouth. Rescued! Thank you mum you saved my life!


>Happy New Year and a Wierd Week.
Well even more interesting things keep unfolding as the most fantastically wierd week of my life opens up. I wonder what else is in store for me. One things seems certain- 2006 is going to be an interesting year.
1.The accident- I've never been in a situation where something of this magnitude happened. For others in the car, it might have been different, but for my position, it changed the way I view life, and on top of that, reinforced ideas I was already pondering. I think the big overall theme is that life is too short to piss and ponder over useless things like how many mp3 players I have or what Sony is going to release next month. I feel like i want to do soemthing with my life that is meaningful, that actually is unselfish. If I have gotten anything from this accident, its that my life, my goals and my wants dont really have any impact when your possibly dead. It doesn't matter how rich you are, how much prestige you've managed to claim, you lose it all. And in the end it is only God who judges you and by this idea, I need to stop being such a selfish jerk and actually put my words into action. I know I have the attitude of wanting to help others, its just a matter of getting my feet moving and stop stalling. After something happens like this well…..yeah.
I want to get invloved with charity, with organizations that help peopl ewho are clearly in dire need of basic privelages/needs that I and many other Canadian take for granted. Hopefully I can start getting into this soon. There are people in need out there, and this is what my life should be directed to, not myself.
2.Did I mention I just checked my GPA for Fall 2005? I got a 3.625 GPA! Omg omg omg. This is getting better and better. Well it wasnt so much better b/c of accident, but the year is looking good. I keep going up, 1st yr was 3.0, 2nd yr was 3.2 and now 3.6? WOOT.
But this isnt really life changing, but seriously. I rock. We should all love me and be happy for me.
3.Seeing friends go again. Seriously its sad. You can't do anything but stand there, cause nobody wants to leave first. Oh well. It was a seriously fun Christmas break. I love you guys. Wait till spring break.
4. Something else happened that was interesting, but I'd rather not post it. But I am quite happy about it, although intrigued as hell.
5.Not sure what 5 is but considering how many things have happened in the year 2006 in the first freaking week, well I wont be surprsied if a Brontosaurus shows up in my backyard in a thong. Seriously how random would that be?
Next Post >I want a new phone.

Warrington Wins In Employment Contract Dispute At The CCJ
TDN Radio
Articles, Law & Justice
Port of Spain, Trinidad. In Mariette Warrington v Dominica Broadcasting Corporation, the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) today decided that Ms. Warrington, a former General Manager of the Dominica Broadcasting Corporation (DBC), should be paid the equivalent of six months' salary, gratuity and holiday pay totaling EC$52,300 as damages. DBC had paid her one month's salary and an honorarium when they terminated her, and the High Court and the Court of Appeal had upheld these payments. At the CCJ, she had requested payment of her salary for the remaining years of her contract.
However, the CCJ found she had not proved that loss and decided that "Ms. Warrington would have been entitled to the six months' salary in lieu of notice and this amount is to be regarded in law as agreed liquidated damages".
At the root of this dispute was whether Ms. Warrington's appointment was valid. She had served the organisation under two consecutive employment contracts as the General Manager which ended in 2008. Before the end of the last contract, she wrote a letter requesting further employment with the Corporation as General Manager "under similar terms and conditions" with an increased salary and protection against arbitrary termination. DBC never responded to this request. At a board meeting, some months before the contract ended, a decision was taken unanimously to re-appoint her but this decision was never communicated to Ms. Warrington, although she later learned of it.
Later the board decided to advertise the position of General Manager and Ms. Warrington applied for the position. She was the only applicant; however, the Corporation did not respond to her application. After the contract had ended Ms. Warrington was kept performing as General Manager, and early in the new period, she wrote to the Chairman of the board to inquire about her employment status but
again received no answer. After some fifteen months performing as General Manager, in March 2010, the employee received a letter informing her that she was on a month to month contract and was terminated in the subsequent month.
Ms. Warrington's claim for damages for the wrongful termination of her engagement was unsuccessful in both the High Court and the Court of Appeal. The courts below decided the purported contract of employment was invalid for non-compliance with the statutory provision that requires the Dominica Broadcasting Corporation's Board to act on the advice of the Prime Minister in appointing its managers. They did not regard as significant the fact that, on 17th February 2009, the Board met with the Prime Minister and discussed "the matter" of Ms. Warrington's appointment.
However, the CCJ noted that "it is most revealing that neither the Board nor the Minister (of Information) mentioned asking for the Prime Minister's advice on the selection of Ms. Warrington as Manager. It appears the Board and Minister took it as a given that he approved of her continuing as Manager". Board minutes bolstered the finding that the issue that engaged the Board and the Prime Minister was the length of the contract to give Ms. Warrington rather than the Prime Minister's approval of her continuing in the role. The CCJ found that Ms. Warrington's appointment was therefore valid.
The CCJ held that Ms. Warrington was entitled to damages calculated by reference to those benefits for which the former contract provided, including notice of 6 months before termination. The President of the Court, the Hon. Mr. Justice Saunders, in a concurring judgment, noted that "it was quite inappropriate for the Board, unilaterally and belatedly, to seek to impose a one month notice period. Apart from its inappropriateness, that period was unreasonably short".
In addition to the damages of $52,300, Ms. Warrington was awarded costs at the CCJ, in the sum of EC$37,800, and prescribed costs in the High Court and Court of Appeal. Interest was also awarded on damages at the rate of 5% per annum from the date of the judgment in the High Court until payment is made to Ms. Warrington. The full judgment of the Court and a judgment summary are available at www.ccj.org.

What to Do If You Are Accused of Rape
Domenic Lombardo, San Diego Criminal Defense Lawyer
Being accused of any crime is a life-changing event regardless of the nature of the crime with which you may be charged. Some types of crimes, however, carry with them a social stigma that makes being accused of them even worse. Allegations of a sex crime such as rape, for instance, can have serious negative consequences that go far beyond what happens in the actual case. Knowing what to do if you are ever accused of or charged with rape can be the difference between clearing your name and being convicted.
Rape is one of those crimes that can be alleged under a number of very different circumstances. In some cases, allegations of rape can be made when the victim did not know the perpetrator. The alleged rape may have been incident to a burglary or a robbery, for example. In other cases, the victim and perpetrator did know each other prior to the alleged rape. Rape allegations in such cases are often referred to as "date rape" if the two were dating or friendly prior to the incident giving rise to the charges.
for a free and confidential consultation
In these types of "date rape" cases, the accused sometimes makes the mistake of assuming that the victim will recant his or her story, essentially counting on it all being a "big misunderstanding." This kind of thinking may lead the accused not to contact an attorney immediately, putting it off in the hope that the whole thing can be resolved outside the criminal justice system. This is a very significant mistake. Once charges have been filed, the State of California is committed to prosecuting the case, meaning that a defendant needs to take the situation very seriously.
At the other end of the spectrum, in a case where the victim and the perpetrator did not know each other, the defendant may think he or she has an alibi or feel convinced that the prosecutor cannot possibly secure a conviction because he or she is not guilty. They may make the mistake of assuming it will all go away. Again, this is a huge mistake because the State of California will do everything possible to secure a conviction. If you are facing accusations of rape or have been charged with rape in California, you need to contact a reputable criminal defense attorney immediately to ensure your rights are protected.
Any time the State of California has charged you with a criminal offense, regardless of your guilt or innocence, you need to be proactive and protective of your rights from the moment you become a suspect. Although there may indeed be a way to resolve the case short of trial, you need the assistance of an experienced criminal defense attorney to make this happen. If the worst happens, and the case does proceed to trial, you need to be prepared. The earlier your attorney becomes involved, the more prepared he or she will be to represent you at trial. Though this is true in all types of criminal prosecutions, the nature of a rape case makes it even more important to contact a criminal defense attorney right away because crucial evidence can disappear shortly after the alleged crime. Witnesses need to be interviewed, photographic evidence obtained, and forensic evidence tested as soon as possible.
Another important point to remember if you are ever charged with the crime of rape in California is not to discuss the charges with anyone and particularly the alleged victim if you know him or her. Not only may anything you say be misconstrued and used against you at trial, but any attempt to contact the alleged victim could lead to additional charges being filed against you. While the desire to clear your name may be strong, leave it to your lawyer.
