Tire Recycling and Market Development. Since passage of the Tire Recycling Act in 1989, California has dramatically increased the number of waste tires diverted from landfill disposal and sent to beneficial end uses. CalRecycle staff estimates that in 2010, Californians generated 41.1 million waste tires. The beneficial use of 33.2 million of these tires represents a recycling rate of 81 percent in 2010.
The California Tire Recycling Act authorized CalRecycle to award grants and loans to businesses and public entities for activities that could expand markets for used tires. Plastic Buckets. Apple executives net $150M selling vested stock units granted in 2008. By Josh Ong After a batch of restricted stock-based compensation vested last Saturday, three of Apple's executives sold off the shares, netting roughly $150 million after taxes.
Regulatory filings submitted to the SEC on Tuesday revealed the transactions, as reported by iPhoneinCanada.ca. Apple CEO Tim Cook, CFO Peter Oppenheimer, SVP Scott Forstall, SVP Phil Schiller and SVP Bob Mansfield were all reported as having vested restricted stock units on March 24. The Cupertino, Calif., company granted the compensation in September 2008 in order to lock in its core executive team through 2012. At the time, shares of Apple stood at $105.26 and the stock grants were worth $122 million. Cook received the largest award with a total of 200,000 shares. 93,360 of the shares were set aside to pay taxes on the award.

James 1980, 1989 The castle at Carmarthen, on its rocky eminence overlooking the River Twyi, must have dominated the medieval town just as, a little way to the east, the Roman fort must have dominated the Roman town a thousand years before.
Giraldus Cambrensis tells us that even in the late 12th century, parts of strong walls of the ancient city of the Romans were still standing. The castle was converted into a prison in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the building of the Council offices has also not helped its appreciation as a military entity. However, enough remains to make a visit worthwhile. Unix File Permissions and Ownership Unix File Permissions and Ownership (CHOWN, CHMOD, ETC) I'm taking a security class were we had a lab on Unix/Linux file system permissions.
I decided I might as well record it, and the steps taken, along with explanations as to what I was doing to set the permissions such as read, write, execute, SetUID, SetGID and the Stickybit. Kevin Benton created the lab, so I'd like to give him credit for inspiring me to do this video. Download from: Commands used: Basic Setup: Setting Ownership and Groups: Oneprize.wordpress.com.

Earth’s Energy Budget Since many of the options I will discuss in the coming weeks ultimately derive from the Sun, it is useful to throw up an energy budget.
Figure 1 Of the 1370 W/m² incident on the upper atmosphere from the Sun, 30% is reflected straight away without pausing long enough to say hello. About 20% is absorbed in the atmosphere and clouds, and 50% gets absorbed at ground level. Note that 7% of the energy budget goes into conduction and rising air (separate phenomena; the latter relating to wind). For comparison, the energy consumption (conversion) rate of the human race is about 13 TW (13 trillion Watts), which works out to an average of about 2,000 W per person on the globe (Americans are 10 kW). Solar Potential If 50% of the incoming solar radiation makes its way to the ground, then we have about 700 W/m² for the average terrestrial square meter facing the Sun.
Note how much bigger the solar potential is than our demand of 0.09 W/m² of land area. Figure 2. Capturing Sun. GIMPS Home. The Founder Institute: Helping Founders to Build Great Companies. This Startup Lets You Unsubscribe to All Mailing Lists at Once. Yesterday I was subscribed to 271 newsletters.
Today, after putting about 10 minutes of effort, I'm subscribed to just the 17 of them I find useful — and they arrive at my inbox packaged in a single email. Hallelujah. Unroll.me, which started as a simple hack for unsubscribing to emails, is the startup behind this improvement, and it's launching a redesigned product on Monday.
