The Revival of Amateur Spectroscopy
CCD cameras give amateurs an unprecedented opportunity to explore the spectra of stars and planets.
In 1999 we marked the 70th anniversary of Edwin Hubble's announcement that the spectra of distant galaxies exhibit a redshift, which we now interpret as due to the expansion of the universe. Even though he used the 100-inch telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory, Hubble required exposures up to 20 hours spread over several nights to record the spectra of some galaxies. Today the inefficient photographic plate has been superseded by electronic CCD detectors, and professional astronomers probe the depths of the universe with huge telescopes like the 10-meter Keck reflectors in Hawaii.

Palm Beach Par 3 Course
Featured in an episode of the Golf Channel's The Haney Project, Palm Beach Par 3 Golf Course's acclaimed layout blankets the breezy space right between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intercoastal Waterway. Originally designed in 1961 by famed course architect Joe Lee, the course received a facelift from Hall of Famer Raymond Floyd in 2009, adding drama to a water-kissed terrain that has hosted the LPGA Pro-Am and has been played by the likes of George Clooney, Cameron Diaz, and the Hamburglar. Stitched by the curvy trunks of vibrant palm trees, the course's saltwater- and drought-resilient paspalum grass helps it thrive in its seashore location. With the longest hole measuring in at 196 yards, Palm Beach Par 3 provides ample opportunity for players to snag a coveted hole-in-one or humble egotistical drivers by making them sit out for the round. And the renovations keep coming with plans to add a new, two-story Florida-style clubhouse on the course that will house a restaurant on the second floor. It's scheduled to open November 2013.

How a 'tough story to read' in the Wall Street Journal inspired a $1 million gift to help UTMB's indigent patients
By Judie Kinonen
Perhaps two million readers scanned their Wall Street Journals the morning of September 23, 2003. But for one, Peter Bentley, president of the Carl J. Herzog Foundation Inc., the newspaper held special interest: It carried a page-one "leader" story that moved his board to establish a $1 million endowment for UTMB's uninsured patients.
Under the headline "A Stark Solution for Allocating Care," Bentley read about UTMB's system for rationing health care services—the Demand and Access Management Program (DAMP). Since 1998, this system has spared UTMB from running a yawning deficit in a time of soaring health care costs and shrinking reimbursements. The Journal story revealed how the program—which stipulates that people who are uninsured and can't pay for treatment may be denied access to specific drugs and medical services—has shaken UTMB patients and doctors alike.
"It was a tough story to read," Bentley says. Long concerned about problems with patient access to health care, the Herzog Foundation since 1993 has endowed scholarships for UTMB medical students from disadvantaged backgrounds, hoping that they will return to their hometowns and care for medically indigent people there. When Bentley and his board read the Journal story, they saw a good use for some of its funds. "It's quite simple, really," he says. "We saw an article, it touched us, and we decided to give [the million dollar gift] in hopes that others will contribute as well, to help a larger number of people."
Bentley hopes additional contributors will boost the principal to at least $2 million, at which point all the interest may be used to pay for poor patients' care. Until then, the Carl J. Herzog Foundation Endowment for Indigent Care stipulates that 10 percent of the interest from the $1 million endowment should be reinvested—leaving 90 percent of the $45,000 per year in interest available for indigent care.
"UTMB, unlike almost any other institution, decided to find a rational, systematic solution to the problem of unlimited demand for access to UTMB services at a time of limited resources."
Reporter Bernard Wysocki Jr., who spent about ten days in Galveston researching the story, says it was the only article in the Journal's seven-week series about the faltering national health care system to profile a single medical institution. The paper ran the series to underscore the rising numbers of uninsured and underinsured Americans and the strain they are putting on the nation's safety-net hospitals. At most other U.S. medical centers, doctors and nurses have few guidelines to determine who gets which services. They make ad hoc decisions about treating uninsured patients without considering how their choices may affect patients who may be in more desperate need. UTMB is different, according to Wysocki.
"UTMB, unlike almost any other institution, decided to find a rational, systematic solution to the problem of unlimited demand for access to UTMB services at a time of limited resources," Wysocki says. Before DAMP, UTMB faced an $80 million budget deficit, largely because 26 percent of UTMB patients were uninsured. Many did not pay their bills. Many others were covered only by low-paying Medicare, the federal program for the elderly, or Medicaid, the state-federal program for the poor and disabled. To keep UTMB solvent, President John D. Stobo appointed a committee of administrators, doctors and mid-level staffers to devise a set of restrictions on indigent care with rules that could be consistently applied.
DAMP mandates that all patients undergo financial screening before admission. Each must pay a fee before seeing a doctor. Except for children and patients needing emergency care, those without the initial $80 fee who cannot prove they are indigent may be turned away, as may patients with outstanding bills at UTMB. Some drugs are also restricted based on a patient's ability to pay; exceptions are paid for from a pharmaceutical contingency fund of about $25,000 per month, now augmented by a portion of the interest generated by the Herzog Foundation endowment.
Such exceptions are made by high-level decision makers such as Dr. Joan Richardson, medical director for inpatient care, featured in Wysocki's article wrestling with the agonizing choices she faces daily regarding UTMB's indigent patients: whether a woman with breast cancer may get a $1,500 drug that may or may not help; whether a thirty-six-year-old man waiting for a heart transplant should get blood thinners his disability plan doesn't cover; and whether a sixty-one-year-old uninsured Mexican woman with tongue cancer might be approved for surgery under a teaching waiver.
Thanks to the Herzog gift, in June 2004 Richardson was able to help a seventy-one-year-old man repeatedly admitted to the hospital with flash pulmonary edema—lungs filling with fluid—because of uncontrolled high blood pressure. He had the problem because he couldn't pay for his $100-per-week's worth of medications. Richardson says she was able to approve a waiver allowing the pharmacy to dispense enough drugs to keep the man in blood pressure pills for several weeks until he could be enrolled in a special manufacturer's drug assistance program that supplies such drugs for free "if you can show that you are truly indigent."
In another case in summer 2004, Richardson used Herzog funds to help a fifty-five-year-old woman who had suffered for two years from a chronic infection that failed to respond to conventional treatment. In the hospital, she got better thanks to a fairly new, expensive antibiotic that Medicaid covered only while she was an inpatient. Her doctor was ready to let her go home—with the stipulation that she take two more weeks supply of the antibiotic. She couldn't afford the $300 for the medicine, however, so Richardson once again dipped into Herzog funds to pay for a pharmacy waiver.
"These were humane decisions," Richardson notes of the two cases among many similar decisions she has made. "But the cold, hard truth is that they were also good business decisions."
"These were humane decisions," Richardson notes of the two cases among many similar decisions she has made. "But the cold, hard truth is that they were also good business decisions." That's because they kept patients reasonably healthy whom UTMB might otherwise have been required to keep hospitalized or to re-admit with life-threatening symptoms. Keeping an indigent patient in the hospital costs UTMB a minimum of $800 a day, Richardson points out—or $11,200 for the two weeks the woman fighting the infection would have required. Spending $300 instead to give the woman the two-week supply of antibiotics she needed to let her recuperate at home was a no-brainer—as long as Richardson had the Herzog funds to provide the drugs.
Richardson appreciates the vital role that philanthropy can play in helping cover the expenses of people who are medically indigent. And she hopes that the Herzog grant inspires similar gifts, both large and small. While she knows that private philanthropy cannot possibly fill the huge financial need created by an estimated 43 million Americans being medically uninsured, in individual cases such as those cited, it can give her the funds to provide life-sustaining care to some of those who otherwise might not have it.
The Wall Street Journal article motivated a gift that will ultimately help preserve the historic mission of an institution resolved to serve its community while staying financially viable. "Taking care of vulnerable populations is what we've been doing for 110 years, and we're good at it," as President Stobo explained to Wysocki. "Let's have the intestinal fortitude to stay the course."

Twenty-third Amendment to the United States Constitution

The Twenty-third Amendment (Amendment XXIII) to the United States Constitution permits citizens in the District of Columbia to vote for Electors for President and Vice President. The amendment was proposed by Congress on June 17, 1960, and ratified by the states on March 29, 1961. The first Presidential election in which it was in effect was the presidential election of 1964. Before the passage of the amendment, residents of Washington, D.C. were forbidden from voting for President or Vice President as the District is not a U.S. state. The amendment reversed the capital's electoral situation without addressing the parallel question of congressional representation: Its residents are still unable to send voting Representatives or Senators to Congress.
The amendment restricts the district to the number of Electors of the least populous state, irrespective of its own population. As of 2013, that state is Wyoming, which has three Electors. However, even without this clause, the district's present population would entitle it to only three Electors. Since the passage of this amendment, the District's electoral votes have gone towards the candidates of the Democratic Party in every presidential election.
Section 1. The District constituting the seat of Government of the United States shall appoint in such manner as the Congress may direct:
A number of electors of President and Vice President equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives in Congress to which the District would be entitled if it were a State, but in no event more than the least populous State; they shall be in addition to those appointed by the States, but they shall be considered, for the purposes of the election of President and Vice President, to be electors appointed by a State; and they shall meet in the District and perform such duties as provided by the twelfth article of amendment.
Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.[1]
The United States Constitution's rules for the composition of the House of Representatives and the Senate explicitly grant seats to states, and no other entities. Similarly, electors to the electoral college are apportioned to states, not to territories or the federal district. The main reference to the federal district is in Article One, Section Eight of the Constitution which gives Congress the power "To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States."[2] In the early existence of the District, it was too small and rural to merit a hypothetical seat in the House of Representatives anyway, with fewer than 30,000 inhabitants.[3]
In 1890, a bill was introduced into Congress to grant Washington, D.C. voting rights in presidential elections; it did not proceed forward, however.[4] Theodore W. Noyes, a writer of the Washington Evening Star, published a number of stories in support of D.C. voting rights. Noyes also helped found the Citizens' Joint Committee on National Representation for the District of Columbia, a citizen's group which lobbied Congress to pass an amendment expanding D.C. voting rights. Noyes died in 1946, but the Citizens' Joint Committee continued onward, and the issue of District voting rights began to be seen as similar to the civil rights movement.[4] A split developed between advocates for greater power for the District after World War II. The Evening Star, continuing in the Noyes mold, supported D.C. representation in Congress and the electoral college, but opposed "home rule" (locally elected mayors & councils with actual power, rather than direct rule by Congress). The Washington Post, however, supported "home rule" and civil rights, but opposed full-fledged representation for the District.[4] Additionally, while many of the people leading the push were liberal Democrats, the District of Columbia in the 1950s was fairly balanced in its potential voting impact; Democrats had only a slight edge over Republicans, although District Republicans in the 1950s were liberal by national standards.[4] Thus, an amendment to grant the District increased voting powers was able to gain bipartisan support in a way that would have been more difficult later. Only 28% of the District was African-American according to the 1940 census, and the black population was young compared to other residents, making the voting electorate even smaller due to the voting age of 21. This grew to 54% in the 1960 census, but according to historian Clement E. Vose, "various factors—inexperience in voting, educational handicaps, residency requirements, welfare laws, and social ostracism before the Voting Rights Act of 1965—minimized black registration and voting."[5]
With District voting rights seen as a politically neutral, pro-civil rights measure, the 23rd Amendment was passed by Congress on a voice vote and sent to the state legislatures for ratification on June 16, 1960. It had the support of both Republican President Eisenhower, national Democratic leaders, and later, both party's candidates in the 1960 election, John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon.[5] The South, dominated by conservative Democrats, was considered a lost cause because of the District's large black population and urban and liberal reputation.[5] Elsewhere, however, Amendment supporters ran a competent campaign, sending natives of each State with knowledge of the local politics to campaign for passage of the Amendment. It was emphasized as a nonpolitical, nonpartisan measure of fairness to avoid antagonizing any party who might think that it was a power grab. Still, the most important person in the ratification may have been Senator Thruston B. Morton of Kentucky, the chairman of the Republican National Committee from 1959–1961.[6] He took the risk that the District would favor Democrats, and conscientiously worked for passage nonetheless, even helping convince the Republican-controlled legislature of Kansas to be the 38th state to ratify the amendment. Ratification by the state legislatures was achieved fairly rapidly, in only 286 days. The Citizens' Joint Committee on National Representation, considering its job done, closed its doors in 1961. Senator Morton called it a great day "for the general principle of suffrage for all in the United States."[7]
Congress proposed the Twenty-third Amendment on June 17, 1960.[8] The following states ratified the amendment:
- Hawaii (June 23, 1960)[9]
- Massachusetts (August 22, 1960)

The following states have not ratified the amendment:

Political impact[edit]
While perceived as politically neutral and only somewhat liberal-leaning at the time of passage in 1961, the District swung dramatically toward the Democratic Party in the years after passage. African-Americans voted in greater numbers than they had in the 1940s and 1950s with the clearing away of restrictions on the vote, and their share of the District electorate increased - according to the 1970 census, 71% of the Federal District was black, a dramatic jump.[5] Accordingly, the District has sent its 3 electoral votes to the Democratic candidate in every single presidential election since 1964, including the 1984 landslide re-election of President Reagan, where only the District of Columbia and Minnesota voted for Democratic candidate Walter Mondale.
While agitation for further voting rights were stilled for a time after the passage of the 23rd Amendment, they resumed again in the late 1960s and 1970s, with demands for "home rule" and representation in Congress. On December 24, 1973, Congress approved the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which established an elected office of mayor and a 13-member elected council for the district.[13] These officials were empowered pass laws and enact administrative policies for the District, though Congress retained veto power, if they chose to intervene. On August 22, 1978, Congress adopted the District of Columbia Voting Rights Amendment and sent it to the states for ratification.[14][15] This sweeping proposal would have granted the District of Columbia full representation in the United States Congress as if it were a state, repealed the 23rd Amendment and granted the District full representation in the Electoral College plus participation in the process by which the Constitution is amended as if it were a state.[16] The amendment failed to become part of the Constitution however, as it was not ratified by the required number of states (38) prior to its August 22, 1985 ratification deadline.[17] The campaign for the DCRA ran into much fiercer conservative opposition due to the open and obvious fact by 1978 that the DCRA would practically guarantee 2 Democratic Senators for some time; the amendment was criticized on various other grounds as well, and did not gain support even from several more "liberal" states.[18]

PERHAPS nowhere else, for now, is the printed word in such rude health as in South Asia. The region's writers have much to cheer. Readers have a raging appetite for text on a page, and they are happy to spend money for it. (Most gratifying, at least for a journalist, is to see the old-fashioned newspaper industry flourish as literacy levels rise and a middle class grows.) Advertisers and sponsors are hungry to reach book readers, reckoning that they are among the region's wealthier and better educated consumers. As a result, cash-rich banks, insurance and construction companies, among others, fall over each other to stump up for literary festivals and book prizes.
Take the announcement today that 16 novelists have been put on a prize longlist for writing on South Asia. DSC, a big Indian building firm, sponsors the prize and is also part of the largest annual literary festival in India, in Jaipur, which burst at the seams with 200 authors and nearly 100,000 visitors this January. The firm is also involved in a South Asia writing festival that will be held soon in London. This is only the second year of the DSC prize, so it hardly has the pedigree of the Man Booker one, say, which has been around for over four decades. But measure it in hard cash—$50,000 for the DSC award, ₤50,000 for the Booker—the South Asian award starts to look serious.
What is puzzling about the DSC longlist, however, is how old most of the entries already seem. With a couple of exceptions, they were published, read, talked about, reviewed, submitted for other prizes and then shelved in 2010. In at least one case—Jill McGivering, a BBC journalist nominated for "The Last Kestrel"—the author already has a newer book doing the rounds. In another case—Kishwar Desai, for "Witness by Night"—the author already won a big prize for her book, at the start of last year.
Perhaps timing explains the absence from the list of some excellent, recently published novels, such as "The Wandering Falcon" by the Pakistani writer Jamil Ahmad (reviewed by The Economist here) or "Last Man in Tower" by India's Aravind Adiga (reviewed by The Economist here). Both deserve attention. Presumably they will be considered for next year's longlist. Since the winner of the current award will only be announced in January 2012, at the Jaipur festival, the risk for the prize is that it is seen not as a guide to fresh, strong, new writing from South Asia, but as something of an afterthought, a verdict delivered too late to be relevant.
Regional book festivals are popping up all over the place. A planned one in Kashmir was recently scrapped amid political controversy, but there are many alternatives. Those keen to talk books in the Himalayas might instead nip to Kathmandu which holds its first literary festival at the end of this week. Beach lovers could try one in Kerala, south India, in November, which has ties to Britain's Hay Festival. More adventurous urban souls might risk a visit to Karachi's book festival, in southern Pakistan, in February. According to an Indian paper, Mint, at least ten big literary festivals are scheduled in India over the next four months alone.
With luck, all this activity will encourage even more good book writing. Presumably economic incentives work on budding and established novelists as on anyone else. The status or cash that may be earned from winning a big prize, or getting well known on the literary circuit, might lure more people to pick up their laptops.

Following is the full text of Bishop Pat Power's letter to the organisers of the Petition to the Australian Catholic Bishops which Bishop Power released for publication on 21 August 2007… Open Letter to Petition Organisers... Paul Collins and Frank Purcell Dear Paul and Frank, I write in response to your letter of 18 June which I presume was sent to the other Australian Bishops as well. Both of you and the other signatories to the letter are people who have made significant contributions to the Church in Australia and I believe that the issues you raise are of concern to the majority of practising Catholics around Australia. Daily, I hear people express such concerns along with the frustration that their voices are being ignored. At the heart of the issue is the relationship of the local church to the universal church. I nominated this as a possible subject for the last Synod held in Rome, but there was little support for my proposal. However, for a number of years (some people would say since the beginning of Pope John Paul II's pontificate in 1978) there has been a greater encroachment on the life of the local church which has given the diocesan bishop and his collaborators little scope for effective leadership. I clearly recognise the need for the local church to be in communion with the See of Peter but there needs to be much more reciprocity in the relationship. Circumstances vary enormously around the world and many of the issues your letter raises will have differing consequences in other countries and cultures. That was apparent to me at the 1998 Oceania Synod of Bishops when so many bishops of our region highlighted the particular problems they were facing. Unless diocesan bishops are allowed to exercise the powers intrinsic to their office, many urgent questions will be neglected. The ecumenical movement suggests that we should be seeking unity in diversity. Surely such wisdom needs applying to the Church as a whole. The New Testament shows the first disciples' readiness to embrace such an approach. Where there is the conviction that the Eucharist is at the heart of Catholic belief and practice, there must be questions asked about disciplinary laws in the Church which have the net effect of denying many Catholics regular access to the Eucharist. This was the precise argument advanced by the National Council of Priests in Australia in the lead-up to the last Synod of Bishops which discussed the Eucharist. They argued that there is little sense in pointing to the centrality of the Eucharist when an increasing number of Catholics in many parts of the world are being deprived of the Eucharist because of the scarcity of priests. On many occasions since my ordination as bishop in 1986, I have pleaded for consideration of the ordination of married men and the possibility of those who have married to be able to return to the active ministry. I wrote a letter to that effect to Pope John Paul when he visited Australia at the end of that year. In the ensuing twenty years, I have publicly canvassed such views on a number of occasions and I gave voice to them at the 1998 Oceania Synod. But consistent with many papal and other Vatican pronouncements, there has been no acceptance of those views at that level. Yet invariably when I have made such statements the overwhelming response I have received from ordinary Catholics has been one of support and a sense of urgency that the official Church needs to act decisively to bring about reform. In our own Archdiocese in line with the experience of other parts of Australia, parishes generally and priests personally are under added pressure with an increasing load being borne by a diminishing and ageing clergy. The irony is that in this Archdiocese there are between thirty and forty priests who have married and thereby been debarred from active priestly ministry. Many of them and their families are active in parishes and other areas of Church life, but they are unable to celebrate the Eucharist. There was a recent instance where a priest failed to arrive for Mass and a married priest and his wife sat rather helplessly in the congregation while an acolyte and other members of the parish attempted to lead a liturgy of the word with Holy Communion. Of course, dioceses need to continue in their efforts to recruit men for the celibate priesthood but the limited response must say something in terms of a long-term solution. Many dioceses have recruited priests from overseas with mixed success. Some such priests have fitted very well into the life of the diocese while others have struggled with issues of culture, language and vision of Church. In any case such solutions can only be partial and short-term. Your fourth point relating to the participation of women in the life of the Church is crucial for a healthy, life-giving and nurturing Church. While women's roles in the family, Catholic education and health-care are obvious, the opportunities for leadership in terms of the universal, diocesan and even parish Church are extremely limited. The 1997 inquiry into the participation of women in the Church in Australia brought out many of the gaps for which the whole Church, not just women, is the poorer. While I recognise the sensitivity to the question at the level of the Vatican, I am also aware that many loyal and committed Catholics want a more open and thorough examination of the issues around the ordination of women and the whole structure of the priesthood. A less clerical model of the priesthood is more in tune with 21st century societal values and arguably more faithful to the practice of the early Christian communities. The opportunity which your letter gives for the whole people of God to claim a greater share of ownership in the life of the Church in Australia is most welcome. I hope that the spirit of dialogue promoted by Pope Paul VI in his encyclical Ecclesiam suam and the spirit and teaching of the Second Vatican Council will be brought to bear on the discussions you seek to engender. Yours sincerely, (Bishop) Pat Power DISCLAIMER: Catholica Australia is providing pro bono promotional support to the organisers of the Petition to the Australian Catholic Bishops.

By Sean Higgins, INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
Update: The Energy Department on Wednesday approved federal loan guarantees for two green energy projects totaling more than $1 billion. It approved $337 million for a Mesquite Solar project in Arizona and $737 million for a Solar Reserve project in Nevada. The projects would create a total of 52-55 permanent jobs, according to earlier DOE figures and company statements. That's about $20 million per permanent job.
The Department of Energy is set this week to announce whether nine federal loan guarantees amounting to $6.5 billion for green energy projects will get final approval.
View Enlarged Image
The number of full-time, permanent jobs they would create? According to the DOE's own figures, a grand total of 283. That is nearly $23 million per job.
It's also a drop in the bucket toward the five million green jobs President Obama promised as a candidate in 2008.
It's not clear how many of the loans will get approved. The DOE refused comment prior to the announcements.
In the last week, the DOE has approved three loans totaling $624 million and creating 110 permanent jobs. But two other big loan projects totaling nearly $2 billion reportedly fell through.
The program has come under increased scrutiny ever since solar panel maker Solyndra went bankrupt late last month. Taxpayers are potentially on the hook for $527 million.
Jerry Taylor, senior policy analyst for the free-market Cato Institute, says the whole program shows that the federal government should not be picking private-sector winners and losers.
"It's a lot of money for very few jobs if you do the math," Taylor said. "If nobody in the private sector is willing to invest their capital, that's a pretty good signal."
That also goes for loans to projects like nuclear power, which Republicans tend to favor, he added.
Some projects do get private capital as well — Solyndra did — but the federal loans can be key to bringing in private funds.
The program, part of the 2009 stimulus, "catalyzes American innovation and private-sector investment behind promising companies," the DOE said in a statement.
So far, the DOE has issued over $10 billion in loan guarantees for 21 projects — including Solyndra — and claims to have created about 2,300 permanent jobs.
"The program expires on the 30th, so they cannot close any more loans after that," said DOE spokesman Damien LaVera.
Most of the nine potential projects are seeking several hundred million dollars in loan guarantees. None proposes to create more than a few dozen permanent jobs. Ironically, Nordic Windpower USA, despite seeking the smallest loan, $16 million, has reportedly promised the most permanent jobs, 75.
The nine projects also would create about 3,650 construction jobs, but those are temporary.
Sempra Energy (SRE), for example, wants $398 million for its Mesquite Solar Project in Arizona. It's projected to employ 300 people during construction, but just seven full-time positions.
Spokesman Scott Crider told IBD that Sempra actually is seeking $375 million. He defended the project despite the handful of jobs created. The loan will be paid back, he said, adding: "We are going to have a 150-megawatt solar facility supplying clean energy to California."
That the funds are loans, not grants, is often cited by green jobs fans. But the Solyndra failure has underscored the risks.
Sempra Energy's stock has more than doubled since an August 2011 low and was resting Tuesday near an all-time high. That's pretty good for a public utility that pays a dividend, too. San Diego-based Sempra (SRE) provides electricity and natural gas to 31 million customers around the U.S. and in ...
Utility stocks rocked higher Thursday, which might seem strange in a supposedly bullish stock-market environment. Four of the five stocks in IBD's utilities screen — NiSource (NI), Dominion Resources (D), Sempra Energy (SRE) and OGE Energy (OGE) — showed solid gains Thursday. And the ...
California electrical generation and natural gas company PG&E's (PCG) third-quarter earnings beat estimates, but revenue fell shy of views. PG&E's earnings per share, excluding one-time charges, fell 14% vs. last year to 93 cents a share, topping analysts' consensus forecast by 5 cents. ...
Sempra Energy (SRE) reported a better-than-expected Q2 profit as earnings from San Diego Gas & Electric utility accelerated. EPS rose 4% to 98 cents, trouncing analyst consensus by 17 cents, on a 14% drop in revenue to $2.09 bil. Wall Street expected $2.3 bil. Shares fell 1.2% to 69.23.
The utility said Q4 EPS rose 3% to $1.21, beating views by 15 cents, due to strong growth at its San Diego Gas & Electric utility and its pipelines and storage segment. Revenue increased 11% to $2.6 bil, also topping forecasts. Sempra Energy (SRE) boosted its quarterly dividend 25% to 60 cents ...

Welcome aboard Mrsnyums, it appears you may be trying to oversimplify a fairly complex issue.
The most straightforward answer, if its used online, 72 DPI is what is needed. For printing, "it varies." Printing on what? bitmapped artwork (artwork being images, graphics, etc.) is resolution dependent; that is, a different DPI is required for the device you are using to get the optimum results.
Without knowledge of the device, a good target is 300 DPI at the size you intend to print it. That is important because if you take a 300 DPI 4 X 5 image and enlarge it to 8 X 10, it is now a 150 DPI image.
Which . . . may or may not be "ok." On small home printers and most laser devices, it will likely be OK. For high resolution commercial printing, definitely not OK. This is why it's device-dependent.
Line art is a whole different animal, you would generally require 600 DPI bitmapped mode files for crisp line art.
Enter vectored artwork - which is device-independent. Vectored art is not restricted to the grids of pixels inherent in bitmapped artwork because it is rendered at the device at run time. Render vectored art to a monitor, it will render at 72 DPI. Render the same piece of art to a 2400 DPI imagesetter - you got it, it will render at 2400 DPI.
"So why not make all artwork vectored?" The nature of graphics and images make this difficult, if not impossible, as they are rendered by millions of shades of color assigned to pixels in bitmaps, which is far more efficient. There was a software we were experimenting with in the late 90's (forget it's name) that did this, allowing us to take an 8 X 10 and render it as vectored art, then reproduce it at poster size - but the results were limited and it was horrendously time intensive and expensive.
For most purposes - if you are rendering vectored art for print and web, you will need two copies - one at 72 DPI and one at print resolution, whatever that is. "Can't we take the print resolution and scale it down for web?" Yes, but you will lose some of the finer details in rescaling. It will be a far superior web image if rendered directly from the vectored program at 72 DPI.
The one item that catches my eye - and may give you problems no matter what you do -
document with vector and pixel images
This reflects that bitmapped images have been placed/embedded in the vectored artwork. If these embedded images do not have sufficient resolution to begin with, they may never be fit for printing. This is a problem with your designer, it's their responsibility to know what will be required.
There's more, but those are the cliff notes, it's not that simple of a question. :-)

The City is officially obsessed with food trucks. New Yorkers have a long, proud history of selling cheap eats on wheels—hot dogs, huaraches, kebabs and mystery meat cooked straight from a rickety sidewalk cart. But lately, mobile meals have become seriously upscale. It's a trend that seems to know no bounds: gourmet food trucks now peddle everything from grass-fed beef to premium ice cream. And the mere rumor of a new truck sighting sends the foodie blogosphere into delirium. (David Chang, we're looking at you.) In honor of the Vendy Awards on September 26, we've compiled a list of some of the best gourmet food trucks in town. They do move around, but you can follow most of them on Twitter for their daily whereabouts and even menu updates. So get out there, and get eating!

darkangeloffire ONLINE (08/23/2013) [-]
I saw some of the kid stuff (Medabots, Pokemon, some Digimon) but then I started watching Naruto and I liked it. Then one day the summer before my junior year in high school, my cousin showed me Hellsing Ultimate and Girls Bravo. Hellsing is great. And Girls Bravo had me on the floor with the first few jokes. Ever since then, I've seen many (but not a super duper whole lot of) anime.

Yes I have. However I also disagree. Dubs have a lot of effort put into them (Well, most do) and I prefer dubs. Sub versions are good but shows like Hellsing Ultimate, Code ***** , Digimon Tamers Fontier an Data Squad, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and Trigun have great dubs.

Access our library of publications providing insights and commentary on key valuation issues and topics.
The valuation profession - At a crossroads Currently, there is no single professional framework governing the valuation profession in terms of conduct, education, credentialing, and performance. This PwC point of view discusses how creating a professional framework would reduce expectation gaps between the profession and management, auditors, standard setters, and regulators. Having a professional valuation framework will also help inspire confidence in the quality and consistency of the work performed. |
Global valuation standards - Charting a course for the future This PwC point of view discusses how the valuation profession could benefit from establishing a primary technical voice to issue high-quality standards for financial reporting that can enhance quality, promote consistency in practice, and advance the brand of the profession as a whole. |
Brands: What's in a name? This publication provides important guidance for consumer products companies to consider when planning a brand-rich transaction. It explains how keeping a careful eye on the valuation and purchase accounting issues can provide better insight into the potential accretive or dilutive impact of a deal, help improve and streamline post-deal accounting and even reduce the risk of impairment in some cases. |
Using qualitative impairment testing for FCC licenses Accounting Standards Update 2012-02 presents an opportunity for broadcasters to streamline their annual impairment testing on FCC licenses that are maintained as indefinite-lived assets. This PwC whitepaper discusses key variables to consider when determining if a qualitative analysis -- sometimes referred to as "Step 0" -- may be feasible for FCC licenses. |
Uncovering blind spots in deal valuations Successful deal making requires a focus on the relationship between risk and return. However, some potential "blind spots" can threaten your probability of realizing expected value from an acquisition. Uncovering blind spots in deal valuations discusses how enhanced diligence of valuation issues can improve your assessment of price against intrinsic value, and reduce the risk of overpaying for targets. |
Entertainment & Media asset valuation in the Digital Age PwC believes that the traditional methods employed to value intangible E&M assets -- while still valid -- may ultimately need to evolve in the interest of improved reporting. This new publication discusses some timely valuation issues for E&M companies. |
Improving capital deployment: Looking beyond balanced scorecards and benefit-to-cost analysis A range of approaches can be used by organizations to rank projects and decide how to deploy capital most efficiently. Balanced scorecards and benefit-to-cost analysis offer a potential "first-cut window" into efficient capital deployment. But they fall short in helping to optimize a portfolio of projects. This discussion paper explores how Project Portfolio Optimization (PPO) helps overcome the limitations of alternative approaches by considering key variables such as multiple resource constraints and project dependencies. |
Sustainability valuation: An oxymoron? Putting a dollar value on business sustainability initiatives can pose a systematic and universal challenge: their costs, like most investments, are readily apparent, but some of their indirect benefits are difficult to quantify. PwC believes that the shareholder value framework can be expanded -- using either direct or indirect valuation methods -- to accommodate the difficult-to-quantify benefits of environmental sustainability initiatives. |
Understanding book versus tax valuation differences improves M&A planning and reporting Finance, accounting, and tax professionals constantly ask whether it is appropriate to use financial reporting valuation estimates for tax purposes and whether there are parts of valuations for financial reporting or tax that are interdependent. M&A transactions trigger different rules and procedures with respect to allocations of purchase price under US GAAP and US federal tax principles. Differences between the purchase price allocation rules for financial reporting purposes and tax continue to exist and best practice calls for an integrated analysis where both book and tax valuations are performed simultaneously. |
Avoiding earnings surprises: Address valuation and purchase accounting impacts up front As your company pursues acquisitions, are you confident with estimates of how the deal will impact earnings? Without the right approach, you risk misinforming investors about the deal and having to recast financial statements. Learn how you can avoid earnings surprises by completing a pre-acquisition valuation during the due diligence process. |
Mandatory impairment testing: What nonprofit healthcare providers need to know now Nonprofit organizations are now required to perform annual impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. Are you prepared? |
How revised M&A accounting standards are impacting deals Changes to M&A accounting standards enacted several years ago (ASC 805, formerly SFAS 141R) have caused uncertainty for companies in knowing how transactions will impact their financial statements. How have companies changed the way that they approach and plan for deals as a result of the revised accounting rules? |
Reducing goodwill impairment testing costs Goodwill impairment testing may get simpler when companies adopt guidelines recently issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). Using a qualitative approach outlined by the new standard may reduce preparer costs by streamlining the annual goodwill impairment testing process. |
Valuing contingent consideration using option pricing Including an "earn-out" or contingent consideration in an acquisition lets buyers tie payment to future performance. However, fair value accounting for contingent consideration involves significant challenges. PwC provides a comprehensive and technically detailed discussion of Valuing contingent consideration using option pricing in this informative publication. |

The streets were shut down and the rain gave way to the staggering heat and humid weather normally felt during the week of CMA Music Festival. And although the festival doesnât officially begin until Thursday, there was plenty of activity downtown on Wednesday.
Following the morningâs CMA Fest Kickoff Parade, fans grabbed a spot at Riverfront Park for the annual CMA Block Party, with live music, food and festivities at every corner waiting to be discovered by the first-time CMA fest-goer, the seasoned veteran or maybe even folks who are lost amongst the festival craziness.
Illinois-based family band The Henningsens kicked off the show on the Riverfront Stage with a half-hour set that included the hit âYou Lie,â which was written by the group and recorded by The Band Perry. The trio also performed its own current charting single, âAmerican Beautiful.â
To cool off, Wild Billâs Old Fashioned Soda Shop Co. was serving up sodas by the barrel, the way Grandpa used to have them, complete with a souvenir tin cup to use for refills.
Riverfront Park was just one of many destinations to find a good time during the afternoonâs block party. Food trucks were stationed along Broadway stretching up to Fourth Avenue. The all-too-familiar âconcertâ smell â that oddly satisfying mixture of sweat, Bud Light and anticipation wrapped up in a cloud of second-hand smoke â clung to the air.
At the Hard Rock Cafe, when guests werenât cramming into the tent to take in a few minutes of music from the Hard Rock Cafe Stage or planting themselves in front of the industrial-sized fans to cool off, they had the opportunity for the Southern Rock Experience. The area featured photo ops and autograph signings with some of this weekâs performers. âAmerican Idolâ Season 4 finalist Bo Bice will host a set with special guest star appearances at 9:15Â p.m. on Saturday.
Other artists on todayâs block party bill included Brazilbilly, The Lacs, Cadillac Three and Joe Diffie, who was set to close the party at 5:10 p.m.

Albany Herald
(Reuters) - The U.S. Capitol was locked down briefly on Thursday after gunshots were fired outside the building following a car chase across central Washington and a number of people including a law enforcement officer were hurt, officials said.
A female suspect was killed by police at the scene, a U.S. official said.
The shooting rattled the U.S. capital three weeks after 12 people were killed and three injured in a shooting spree by a government technology contractor at the U.S. Navy Yard, about 1.5 miles from the Capitol.
The U.S. House of Representatives and Senate were in session when the gunshots were heard. The U.S. government was partially shut down this week when lawmakers failed to agree on a budget.
A source familiar with the situation said the incident started when a vehicle struck a security barrier at 15th and Pennsylvania avenue, near the White House. Police chased the vehicle for about 1 1/2 miles to 2nd Street and Constitution Avenue, near the Capitol, where the shots were fired.
"I was just eating a hot dog over here and I heard about four or five gunshots, and then a swarm of police cars came in wailing their sirens," said Whit Dabney, 13, who was visiting from Louisville, Kentucky, and heard the shots a couple of blocks away.
A policeman was injured in a car crash resulting from the chase and was taken from the shooting scene in a Medevac helicopter, a U.S. official and police said.
The lockdown order at the Capitol was called off and security along Independence Avenue was eased shortly before 3 p.m. (1900 GMT). Tourists were allowed back onto the Capitol grounds.
Just before Capitol Police sealed off the building, the Senate and House were in session. On the Senate floor, Senator John McCain of Arizona was urging that President Barack Obama and a bipartisan group of senators launch negotiations to break the deadlock over government funding and a debt limit increase.

Does Monetary Policy Matter? A New Test in the Spirit of Friedman and Schwartz
This paper uses the historical record to isolate episodes in which there were large monetary disturbances not caused by output fluctuations. It then tests whether these monetary changes have important real effects. The central part of the paper is a study of postwar U.S. monetary history. We identify six episodes in which the Federal Reserve in effect decided to attempt to create a recession to reduce inflation. We find that a shift to anti-inflationary policy led, on average, to a rise in the unemployment rate of two percentage points, and that this effect is highly statistically significant and robust to a variety of changes in specification. We reach three other major conclusions. First, the real effects of these monetary disturbances are highly persistent. Second, the six shocks that we identify account for a considerable fraction of postwar economic fluctuations. And third, evidence from the interwar era also suggests that monetary disturbances have large real effects.(This abstract was borrowed from another version of this item.)

That was a trouble review... I've been playing this game for over a year, it is not in beta. And there was just some wrong information about some pretty basic game play.
Latest Episodes of Free of Charge
See All EpisodesDiscussion
Well this looks great, but to be honest March is too busy for gamers though. For me I'm playing Heart of Swarm, God of War. And waiting to try Age of Wushu.
Seems to me that they are beginning to do a yearly release like CoD. At least AC still remains to be more interesting than CoD. But these yearly releases have got to stop. Let players enjoy a game for a year or two before you start sending out another game.
This game has been out before. I played this long before they had the anthropomorphic characters. So it's nothing new in america.
@SIDEFX1 Once upon a time it was fun playing with all my friends as a team, But now... I guess the charm's wearing off recently.
@SIDEFX1 It was pretty nice when it came out. The guild stuff was interesting as you could visit other guilds townships for recipes and other crafting needs if they had higher shops and such. Unlocking new classes was fun as well. Though the charm loses effect once the grind sets in.

EducationThe Fund invests in foreign securities, which are subject to special currency, political and economic risks. The Fund may also invest in futures contracts and other derivatives. This may make the Fund more volatile. The fund may invest 25%-50% in U.S. and foreign fixed income securities. The fund may invest 30%-75% in U.S. small-, medium-and large-cap equity securities. It may invest 0%-30% in foreign equity securities. The Fund may invest up to 15% in high yield securities. The Fund's fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risk. If rates increase, the value of the Fund's investments generally declines. The Fund's investment in equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company's financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. When the value of a fund's securities goes down, an investment in a fund decreases in value. The Fund may invest in securities that are below investment grade (i.e., "high yield" or "junk bonds") that are generally rated in the fifth or lower rating categories of Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Service. Although these securities tend to provide higher yields than higher-rated securities, there is a greater risk that the Fund's share price will decline.

Hello all
I am a Speech Language Pathologist from Australia.
I have developed "The Learning App Guide to Autism and Education". You can find it at [Edited]
This is a website with over 600 comprehensive, professional app evaluations. I use a research bases rubric to provide an evaluation of each apps learning connection, level of child involvement (authenticity), adaptability, feedback provided, user friendliness and motivation.
There are app guides for behaviour, social skills, language, literacy, emotions and sensory calming.
I have had to ask people to pay an annual subscription - this has taken me two years to write and 1000's of hours of iT costs.
I hope it can help a lot of people and save a lot of time.
