Gloucester Mayor Carolyn Kirk has signed a power purchase agreement that will open the door to building two wind turbines that she said will ultimately generate enough electricity to power the city's municipal and school buildings.
Equity Industrial Turbines, LLC, a Needham-based company, agreed to build two wind turbines on the Gloucester Engineering property in the city's Blackburn Industrial Park in 2012 and sell all of the energy they produce to the city.
According to the agreement, the first 9 million kilowatt-hours produced by the turbines would be sold to the city at 20 percent below market rate.
Any energy produced above that level but below the total needed by the city would be sold at a 75 percent discount, according to the agreement, and any energy produced beyond what the city uses would be sold at a 100 percent discount — meaning that excess energy would become credits that the city would not have to pay for, but which could be sold back to utility companies like National Gird, Kirk said.
According to Jim Duggan, the city's Chief Administrative Officer, Gloucester has not yet worked out an agreement to sell the extra credits. But, he said, even without that income, the city could save $450,000 in the first year the turbines operate.
"This will create tremendous savings in alternative energy," said Duggan. "Alternative energy is a priority for the city."
Green energy initiatives have been growing increasingly popular in Massachusetts and the rest of the United States, but many of the projects involve sacrificing significant amounts of money in order to help the environment.
This project will likely save the city money from its current $1.2 million estimated annual electricity bill, according to Kirk, and it is an essential component to the city's grant eligibility as one of Massachusetts' designated "green communities."
"This is a good deal all around and an example of a positive public/ private partnership," said Kirk. "The city saves considerable money on its energy bill, and an important local employer, Gloucester Engineering, will benefit as well."
In order to qualify for state and federal tax breaks, Equity Industrial Turbines, LLC, will need to begin building the turbines soon. That's because 5 percent of its investment must be spent by Dec. 31 — or this Saturday — according to Duggan, and the turbines must be operational by Dec. 31, 2012.
The turbines have an estimated four-month construction time. Once they are built, they are expected to produce more than the 11 million kilowatt-hours the city uses to power all of its buildings, including the schools.
"This will be an $11 million benefit to the city over the course of the 25-year agreement," said Kirk. "These are the kinds of savings we need to generate. It frees up a lot of resources to do things we want to do, like building a new school in West Gloucester."
The purchase agreement marks the second step toward alternative energy that the city or one of its agencies has taken in the last two weeks.
Two weeks ago, students and teachers at O'Maley Middle School installed a 1.2-kilowatt turbine on the roof of the school to advance the school's science curriculum, with some electricity for the school as an added benefit.
That project was backed by the Gloucester Education Foundation, along with the Peter and Elizabeth C. Tower Foundation, the Moore Family Foundation, Geoffrey Richon Builders and J&L Welding.

At Jewry Wall Museum you can discover the archaeology of Leicester's past and find out about the people of Leicester from prehistoric times to the medieval period.
A special display on the history of archaeology in Leicester, 'Archaeology and Endeavour' explains why our city has such rich and interesting museum collections and includes a stunning display of extremely rare medieval glass from Wygston's House.
The museum grounds contain one of Leicester's most famous landmarks, the Jewry Wall, part of the Roman town's public baths. It is one of the tallest surviving pieces of Roman masonry in the country.
The celebration of Leicester's Roman history continues inside the museum, with stunning collections including detailed mosaics, intricate painted wall plaster and a beautiful Roman cavalry helmet cheekpiece.
Complementing our Roman archaeology collections, there are fascinating artefacts from other eras. From ancient stone tools to striking medieval decorated tiles from Leicester Abbey, there's something to interest the whole family.
Venue Type:
Museum, Archaeological site
Additional info
There is a car park adjacent to the museum, within St. Nicholas Circle. Wheelchair access is available from Holy Bones, through Vaughan College private car park. Please telephone in advance so that we can make sure the access through the car park is clear. The museum displays and toilet are entirely wheelchair accessible.
The adjacent museum tells the story of Leicester from prehistory through to the end of the medieval period. The museum holds Leicestershire's archaeological collections ranging in date from 300,000 years ago to the end of the Middle Ages. The Roman collections are particularly exciting and include what experts describe as the finest Roman mosaic in this country and three very rare examples of magnificent Roman wall painting.
'The Making of Leicester', a multi-media exhibition, tells the story of the City from the Iron Age to the year 2000. The exhibition focuses on the people who created Leicester's colourful history in a series of exciting formats. The centrepiece of the exhibition is the specially commissioned portraits of Leicester at different historical periods and the scientific re-creation of the faces of historic Leicester citizens from their skulls.

Here's what you do the first time you reach the tiny pinnacle of a bridge pylon 200 feet above Big Muddy.
You clamp on. You fight vertigo. You pray for no wind.
Then you fish for your cellphone and take a snapshot of the view.
That's what electricians Chad Foote of Council Bluffs and Bill Heverly of Omaha did the first time they climbed the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge for a $310,000 fixer-upper that has the bridge closed on weekdays until Thanksgiving.
The project includes a new 54-light LED system, better lightning protection and improved safety features for the future spidermen who must brave the heights and the elements to keep the iconic structure, well, iconic.
The $22 million bridge, designed by Kansas City firm HNTB, opened to great fanfare in September 2008. The LED lighting system near the top of the pylons was donated by Gallup and the Suzanne and Walter Scott Foundation.
But the lights never worked properly, said City Parks and Recreation Director Brook Bench. He said there's no way to really know why, but they might have been struck by lightning.
"They worked for about one week," he said.
Omaha maintains the bridge but uses a fund that draws from the cities of Omaha and Council Bluffs.
A/C Lightning Protection of West Point, Neb., is adding "air terminals" or lightning-rod protectors atop the bridge pylons, said Steve Schwer, project manager for the company. Schwer said his workers then run girders from the air terminals to the ground near the bridge.
Omaha/Iowa Electric, the general contractor for the project, is handling the new lighting system. It required running new fiber-optic cable from the ground up each pylon. It is requiring the removal of all 54 existing LED lights, 27 on each pylon. The new lights, which will dance, change colors and be programmable, will be installed in the next week or so.
LED is short for light-emitting diode, a lighting technology that is praised for longer lifespan and relatively low energy use. The technology has improved in four years' time, resulting in what should be a brighter, more colorful bridge at night, said Peter Osentoski of Omaha/Iowa Electric. The lights will be angled differently, which should better illuminate the bridge, he said.
So how many people does it take to change these 54 lights?
Start with the Wednesday crew: a three-man electrician team led by foreman Heverly and a three-man ironworker team from subcontractor Moen Steel. The ironworkers are improving worker safety features by adding a heavy steel plate with more places that workers can clamp on to and ways for rescues to take place should the need arise. The ladders will also be extended downward so they can be reached by portable extension ladders, not hydraulic lifts.
Each crew took a pylon, with one man on the ground, one man in a hydraulic lift 80 feet in the air and one man either on the ladder that starts 60 feet up the pylon and continues to its crown or on the crown itself.
Simply watching them from the gently swaying bridge deck on a windless day could make one's legs turn to jelly. Up is not the typical direction one looks when on this bridge. Normally, it's down at the fast-moving brown waters of the Missouri River.
These men, nimble as cats and seemingly fearless, aw-shucksed the height when they had descended. Yes, they're lugging some 50 pounds of gear. Yes, it's high up there. Yes, the sway is about four to five inches. Yes, it's not fun when the wind blows as it did Tuesday when gusts forced them down.
"We're all trained to climb," said the 35-year-old Heverly. "The first time up was a little ... shifty. After that it was fine. Now I don't even think about it."
Heverly snapped a cellphone shot of the view on his first ascent and then quickly got to work. So did Foote, who spent Wednesday atop the east pylon on the Iowa side where there isn't much room to maneuver.
"I try to focus on one spot up there," Foote said, "and not look around a whole lot."
Tim Carmichael, who oversees construction for the city, was a bird on a wire in his younger days. Overseeing the work Wednesday, he said "that's for the young guys."
Then he added: "It's quite a rush when you're up there, and swing over the edge."

Farnborough Airshow
Farnborough Airshow | |
Farnborough in 2006
Host airport | Farnborough Airport |
Location | Hampshire, England |
Country | United Kingdom |
Held | Even years, July |
Operated by | Farnborough International Limited |
Attendance | 209,000 (2012) |
Website | http://farnborough.com |
The Farnborough International Airshow is a week-long event that combines a major trade exhibition for the aerospace and defence industries with a public airshow. The first five days (Monday to Friday) are dedicated exclusively to trade, with the final two days open to the public.[1]
Flying occurs on all seven days, and there are also static displays of aircraft outside and booths and stands in the indoor exhibition halls. On the Saturday and Sunday most of the exhibitions halls are shut, but there is a funfair and children are admitted.
The event is held in mid-July in even-numbered years at Farnborough Airport in Hampshire, England; the next event will occur in 2014. It alternates with the Paris Air Show, which is held in odd-numbered years and has a similar format. Both shows are important events in the international aerospace and defence industry calendars, and provide an opportunity to demonstrate civilian and military aircraft to potential customers and investors. The shows are also used for the announcement of new developments and orders, and attract media coverage.
The UK show is organised by Farnborough International Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ADS Group Limited (ADS). According to the organisers, the 2012 Farnborough show attracted 109,000 trade visitors over the first five days, and 100,000 public visitors on the Saturday and Sunday. Orders and commitments for 758 aircraft were announced, worth US$72 billion.[2]
From 1996 to 2010, the show had its own official radio station operated by the staff and students of nearby Farnborough College of Technology, but it did not operate in 2012.
The Farnborough International Airshow is held in the same years as the Berlin Air Show, also known as the ILA, which is the other major event in the European aerospace business calendar.
The Farnborough Airshow has its origins in the annual RAF Airshow at Hendon from 1920 to 1937. On 27 June 1932, the Society of British Aircraft Constructors held an exhibition of 35 aircraft by 16 companies at Hendon as a showpiece for the British aircraft industry. After World War II, the show recommenced at Radlett (the site of Handley Page's airfield) in 1946 and was held there until 1948, when the show moved to its present location of Farnborough, Hampshire, home of the Royal Aircraft Establishment, about 30 miles (48 km) south-west of central London. In 1952, 31 people were killed (twenty nine spectators, one pilot and one navigator) when a DH.110 jet fighter disintegrated in flight and crashed into the crowd. (see 1952 Farnborough Airshow DH.110 crash).
At the 1958 show, the Black Arrows executed a 22-plane formation loop[3] This was a world record for the greatest number of aircraft looped in formation, and remains unbroken to this day.
Initially an annual event, the show has been biennial since 1962. It has become an international event that welcomes exhibitors from all over the world — with the exception, during the Cold War, of countries behind the Iron Curtain.
The 1948 show was held between 7 and 12 September; it was the first show held at Farnborough.
The 2010 show (19–25 July 2010) was the 47th edition of the Farnborough Airshow.
The 2012 airshow ran from 9 to 15 July 2012.[4] The next airshow is planned for 14–20 July 2014.

Safety cert green light points to April iPad launch in China
Apple is counting down to an official launch in China by April after regulators gave the new iPad Wi-Fi model the green light, although the 4G model is still years away. According to the state-run China Quality Certification Centre, the pixel-packed fondleslab was granted the China Compulsory Certificate (3C), a five-year safety …
i wonder
If the Chinese government insisted to sell them there they have to incorporate spyware as a condition of sale?
Should be easy to know
The iPads ought to be practically indistinguishable one from the other. Jailbreak a US and a Chinese one, and look for differences.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- CONSOL Energy Inc. will pay $5.5 million in fines and build a $200 million treatment system to resolve water quality violations federal regulators believe led to a massive fish kill along the West Virginia-Pennsylvania border, officials announced Monday.
Pittsburgh-based CONSOL will also pay $500,000 to the state of West Virginia for "natural resource damages" to Dunkard Creek in Monongalia County, where all fish, mussels, salamanders and other aquatic life were killed in the fall of 2009.
West Virginia regulators and CONSOL blamed the fish kill on non-native algae, but federal investigators said coal company discharges that were extremely high in salts created conditions that allowed the algae growth.
The settlement, if approved by a federal judge, would require CONSOL to clean up pollution discharges that violated state standards for years prior to the fish kill -- and went uncorrected with the state Department of Environmental Protection's blessing.
CONSOL would complete and begin operating a "reverse osmosis" treatment plant so that discharges from four mining complexes in the area would meet state pollution limits for chlorides by May 30, 2013.
Federal and state officials joined CONSOL executives in praising the deal. The company called it a "groundbreaking Clean Water Act settlement" that would "set the highest standard for mine water treatment."
"This agreement advances stricter water quality standards that CONSOL, and soon others, must meet," said Katharine Fredriksen, CONSOL's senior vice president of environmental strategy and regulatory affairs. "However, the watershed approach is a first of its kind and we believe it is an example others should look to in meeting their environmental challenges."
In its corporate news release, CONSOL included a quote in which DEP Secretary Randy Huffman said, "Mining is critical to our state's economy, but clean water is paramount.
"This agreement supports both," Huffman said. "We appreciate having CONSOL as our environmental and economic partner in protecting our state's watersheds."

[JURIST] Amnesty International issued a report Wednesday strongly criticizing US treatment of prisoners in Guantanamo, Afghanistan, and Abu Ghraib, and urging an independent investigation into reported abuses. The report asserts that while the US publicly condemns prisoner abuse, it does not practice what it preaches:
The struggle against torture and ill-treatment by agents of the state requires absolute commitment and constant vigilance. It requires stringent adherence to safeguards. It demands a policy of zero tolerance. The US government has manifestly failed in this regard.

World Cup Squad Speculation - The Backs |
National Teams - USA Men | |||||
Here's the second part of my two-part speculation on who could be on the 2011 World Cup squad. Once again we've got two major disclaimers: all of this is barring injury, and there will always be someone who could show up almost out of nowhere to push for a place. We expect that. In the first part, we looked at the forwards, and found that there are still some holes to fill. While we can point to some expected starters, the list of backups at hooker and lock is thin, and Eagles back row is yet to be solidified. Now the backs:
Scrumhalf: Tim Usasz and Mike Petri are the top two for Head Coach Eddie O'Sullivan. Usasz is a scrappy brawler who smacks and urges his forwards. Petri has a smooth, long pass and is great around the fringes both with the ball and on defense. At RUGBYMag.com we like Petri better, because we like his quick pass which sets free the backline. But Usasz seems to be the starting choice currently because he works so closely with the forwards. Is there anyone who could challenge these two? Robbie Shaw's injury derailed his plans to play for the Eagles for the last two years. Now? He's coming back but it just seems like it's been tough for him. Shalom Suniula certainly has a boatload of skills, but could he carry with him the label of being just a 7s guy? Seems unfair, but if he shows up at a camp or assembly and doesn't get stuck in among the draft horses that label could stick. Sean Treacy has been playing in Ireland and playing well. Another young option. Flyhalf: At least at scrumhalf there is a choice. There isn't for flyhalf. Nese Malifa is the first choice. He played hurt against Georgia because right now the Eagles don't have anyone else to back him up. Malifa is very good – a good runner, has the passing skills, and is getting better as a kicker. However, he has suffered serious injuries the last two years, and because of that you can't just hope he won't get hurt again. Tai Enosa is being groomed as the backup, but it's a lot to ask of a developing young player. He was moved from flyhalf to center at his club simply to ease the pressure and give him an opportunity to run in some space. It appears the move at Belmont Shore is temporary, but it's an indication that maybe the position needs some more depth. Troy Hall. Hall has been on the outskirts of USA consideration for a while. He's played a lot of center, but does have the skills to play flyhalf. He's a good runner, can defend, and can pass. The big question for him is goalkicking. For some reason, the USA expects its flyhalves to kick for goal; it seems like it's not up for consideration that anyone else do it. Such a complaint would have more weight if the other players in the squad had demonstrated consistent goalkicking ability. They haven't. The only young flyhalf who can kick for goal we can think of is … Volney Rouse. Seems like he didn't light the world on fire at the ARC, which is why he wasn't taken on the tour to Europe in November. But … he can play flyhalf, and he can kick. Center: We'll leave this until last. Wing: Right now it's Kevin Swiryn and Taku Ngwenya. Both have been playing very well in France and you might argue that Ngwenya is one of the best in Europe. After that, it's another "what next?" O'Sullivan likes big, physical wings, and he's got a point – if you are small in test rugby you better be ridiculously fast, otherwise you're going to have to bull your way through to the tryline. That's why if we're looking for depth at wing we should be looking for players of that mold.
Seta Tuilevuka. Has blossomed as Montpellier's regular outside center. His first runs with the Eagles didn't go as well, in part because he seemed nervous, and in part because the USA game plan wasn't centered around him. Then on top of that Paul Emerick replaces him against Portugal and puts the game away. Tuilevuka is a dangerous attacker and great fun to watch. But if O'Sullivan wants grit and defense first, maybe he picks someone else. Junior Sifa. Playing professionally overseas, which all of these centers listed so far have done, Sifa is smaller than the rest, but defends really well, and has excellent lateral movement. He generally slots in as an inside center, yet he's the antithesis of the Andrew Suniula type. Mile Pulu. Just coming into his own. He's a wonderful young player and could be the central figure for the USA 7s and 15s team for the next 4-5 years. He just needs to be nurtured right, and perhaps taking him to the World Cup without lots of expectations is the thing to do. Thretton Palamo. Given that he could well be playing football for the University of Utah, it's a waste of time to list him … except we decided to mention him anyway. Even without Palamo in the mix, that's seven players who can and have played test center. It's a treasure trove of experience and ability that you'd think would be a bonus for the Eagles, but in some ways has become a detriment. Coaches have switched out players and tried so many combinations, you just wonder if we'll ever see the right pairing. We don't know what it is, but we do feel that it might be a horses-for-courses situation. This is one position where Eddie O'Sullivan can use two players in one game and two different players in another, and know he will get a good performance. So that sets up a potential starting lineup that is thin in some places, confused in others, but very effective, if it ever gets ball in space and is on the same page together. 9. Tim Usasz or Mike Petri. You know where we stand on that. Subs: Total Possible World Cup backs squad (13 players): Usasz, Petri, V. Malifa, Emerick, Sifa, A. Suniula, R. Suniula, A. Tuilevuka, S. Tuilevuka, Ngwenya, Whyles And two others, with one being a flyhalf. |

Radiation Therapy for Nonmelanoma Skin CancerTreatment OverviewRadiation therapy involves the use of X-rays to destroy cancer cells. This procedure requires 15 to 30 visits to a facility for treatment with special X-ray equipment. The skin cancer is destroyed gradually. Radiation therapy may be used in combination with other types of therapy to treat aggressive or recurrent skin cancer. What To Expect After TreatmentRecovery time may vary depending on the site treated and the amount of radiation used. Why It Is DoneRadiation therapy is not commonly used to treat skin cancer. It may be used:
How Well It WorksTreatment with radiation therapy for skin cancer is usually reserved for people who cannot—or choose not to—have other treatments, such as excision or curettage and electrosurgery. Small studies found that recurrence rates decrease (from over 50% to between 20% and 25%) when radiation therapy is used after excision surgery to treat incompletely removed squamous cell carcinoma.1 RisksRisks of radiation therapy to treat skin cancer include the following:
Side effects are common but typically go away when treatment is finished. They include:
What To Think AboutRadiation therapy is not commonly used to treat skin cancer. Radiation therapy may be considered when:
Radiation therapy is most often reserved for use in older adults. It may lead to other skin cancers in younger people as they age. Complete the special treatment information form (PDF)(What is a PDF document?) to help you understand this treatment. References

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Orrin HatchJune 20, 2002 Like most, if not all, of the Senators on this Committee, I have been approached many times by people who are living illegally within the United States, but who have heartbreaking and compelling personal stories. Often we deal with such situations through private immigration bills. We all recognize that there are times when special consideration is warranted. Particularly moving are the stories of undocumented alien children who were illegally brought to the United States through no act of their own. Many such people have been in the United States for many years, if not the majority of their lives. By and large, these children are assimilated into American culture; they attend school, participate in extracurricular activities, and even go to college. They grow up to be contributors to society, working to better themselves and provide for their families. But the law denies them any chance, no matter what their individual accomplishments, to become lawful permanent residents. Take the case of Danny Cairo, an undocumented child from my home State of Utah. Danny's mother brought him into the United States illegally when he was 6 years old, and she abandoned him 8 years later. Danny dropped out of school in order to support himself. Fortunately for Danny, he met Kevin King, who helped Danny to resume his education and then, on September 25, 2001, adopted Danny as his son. Danny is now in his third semester of college at the University of Utah. This seems like a happy ending to the story, but the end is not yet written. Because of the date of his adoption, Danny is ineligible to become a lawful resident of the United States. He lives in legal limbo, ever-fearful that the INS may remove him from the only family he has known. He cannot legally work in this country. As Mr. King wrote to me, "Danny is exactly what our country needs more of. He is a natural born leader with charisma and intelligence and a drive that will take him wherever he wants to go. But this will not be possible if Danny is unable to obtain permanent residency." There are a lot of Dannys in the United States today. But there are other people in Danny's situation who drop out of school, join gangs, and bring misery upon themselves, their family, and others. The DREAM Act is aimed at helping both. It gives motivation and hope to those who need it, and it rewards those who work hard to earn it. Page 1 of 2 Now, there has been some misinformation floating around concerning this bill. So let me make clear what this bill will not do. It will not grant in-state tuition to undocumented children. Rather, it repeals a provision of federal law that prevents States from doing so if they so choose. In other words, it takes immigration - a federal issue - out of a state-based decision. Along with a few other States, my home State of Utah has passed a bill that would allow long-term undocumented children to pay in-state tuition. Utah's bill, however, is only effective upon the repeal of this provision of federal law. Turning to the second part of the bill, which provides that a long-term illegal child may earn lawful status upon graduation from high school, let me note that it will not benefit those who crossed the border today, yesterday, 1 week ago, or even 4 years and 364 days preceding the date of enactment. Nor will it benefit those who commit serious crimes. Further, there has been some inaccurate speculation that children who graduate only from middle school and not high school would obtain lawful immigration status under the DREAM Act. This is not accurate, nor is it intended by the bill. Another area of misinformation concerns the waiver provision of the bill. Contrary to what has been stated by some, an alien convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude or a controlled substance violation is, in fact, ineligible for relief due to the good moral character requirement of this bill. In addition, the "exceptional and extremely unusual hardship" demonstration requirement is not easily met. A simple review of the lesser "extreme hardship" standard as interpreted by the Attorney General demonstrates that mere separation from one's parents, or even the accumulation of significant property in the United States, are insufficient to meet that test. Finally, the DREAM Act will not provide any immediate benefit to any family member of the child who becomes a lawful permanent resident. First, a lawful permanent resident child cannot petition for his or her parents unless he or she becomes a United States citizen, which takes at least 5 years after obtaining lawful permanent resident status. Second, a lawful permanent resident who marries may petition for his or her spouse and children, but they must wait their turn in line - approximately a 6-year wait. # # # #
The Patent and Trademark Office Authorization Act of 2002 Mr. Chairman, I am pleased that we are considering S. 1754, the Patent and Trademark Office Authorization Act of 2002 today. One of the issues we have long worked on together is strengthening the ability of the United States Patent Office ("USPTO") to do its important work in reviewing and granting intellectual property rights to our inventors and businesses. For American inventors and businesses to succeed using patent or trademark rights, the USPTO needs to do a quality and timely job in reviewing and granting those rights. To keep quality high and review periods short will require resources, and I think it only fair that the fees our innovators pay for services at the PTO be used by the PTO and not diverted to subsidize other government activities. At a time when our economy needs support, it seems doubly wrong to levy what amounts to a tax on innovation - a tax imposed by taking a portion of the fees America's innovators and businesses pay to secure protection for their economy-generating products and services and spending it on unrelated government programs. I believe that fees paid to secure patent and trademark rights should be used to process those applications faster with better reliability precisely because getting the products of American ingenuity to market faster helps grow our economy faster. In addition to establishing the principle that user fees collected by the USPTO should be used to serve those who pay them, the bill makes additional improvements to the way the USPTO does business, further enhancing its ability to serve American companies and inventors. Among these improvements are the requirement that the USPTO develop a user-friendly electronic system for the filing and processing of all patent and trademark applications, and that the PTO to implement and update a strategic plan to enhance patent and trademark quality, reduce pendency, and otherwise improve their systems and services for the benefit of applicants, examiners, and the general public. The bill also contains two sections which will clarify two provisions of current law regarding reexamination of patents to provide greater guidance to the USPTO and its customers about the scope and availability of the reexamination process. Both of these changes should help streamline and reduce the costs of post-grant patent decisions, and both of them are embodied in the two House bills we are also considering today, H.R. 1866 and H.R. 1886. I am glad to support these bills that will further support the innovators who have driven our economy, and look forward to reporting them today. # # # # |

TOKYO (Reuters) - The Japanese government plans to adopt a different measure of inflation to the central bank's, an official told Reuters, in a move that could mean it will take longer for Japan to be declared free of deflation and give ammunition to politicians advocating loose policies.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has made victory over nearly two decades of falling prices a top policy pledge. His "Abenomics" package of government spending and loose money from the Bank of Japan have sent stock prices sharply higher and the yen lower this year.
Whereas the central bank targets a 2-percent year-on-year rise in the core consumer price index, a measure that excludes volatile prices of fresh food, the government plans to use "core-core" CPI, which also excludes energy costs.
The change will effectively raise the bar for Abe's inflation goal, as it means that higher energy prices will be taken out of the equation.
The official, who was involved in the decision to switch to "core-core", said the change was meant to help ensure that the world's No. 3 economy truly breaks the grip of deflation.
"Unless we have price rises that aren't temporary, that won't reverse, we can't say we've escaped from deflation," the official said on condition of anonymity.
The change could result in more pressure being put on the central bank to keep flooding the market with yen as the inflation target becomes harder to achieve.
It could also complicate the government's plans to raise the nation's sales tax.
The BOJ has vowed to continue its massive easing -- which includes doubling the money supply through enormous purchases of government bonds and other assets --to generate modest inflation over the next two years.
Core CPI stopped falling in May, the latest reading, and many economists expect it to gradually rise above zero.
But the apparent fade in deflation partly reflects higher prices for imported oil and natural gas as a result of the weaker yen and the shutdown of nuclear power plants after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
In contrast, core-core CPI, although it has slowed its declines, remained down 0.4 percent on year in May. Some economists expect this measure to turn positive by year's end, but the government official said that might be optimistic.
Indeed, government data may understate the persistence of deflation.
Prices of 32-inch televisions, which are included in the CPI basket, have stopped falling, but price competition has merely shifted to larger-screen TVs, said an official at electronics mass-retailer Bic Camera Inc <3048.T>.
Similarly, McDonald's Holdings Co. (Japan) <2702.T> recently grabbed attention by raising prices on hamburgers and cheeseburgers, but a spokesman said the fast-food giant has cut prices of chicken nuggets and small fries.
Of more immediate significance, the use of core-core CPI could affect the debate on doubling the consumption tax to 10 percent in coming years.
The previous government pushed through the tax hike in a bid to tackle Japan's enormous public debt, which at well over twice the nation's gross domestic product is the largest in the industrial world.
Abe's government is expected to decide around September on whether to proceed with the first stage, an increase to 8 percent next April, based on whether economic growth is strong enough.
Advocates of reflation in Abe's Liberal Democratic Party could more easily make the case that the recovery is too fragile to inflict a tax rise if the economy remains mired in deflation.
The party has painful memories of the political damage suffered by LDP prime ministers Noboru Takeshita and Ryutaro Hashimoto, when they introduced and raised the tax in the 1980s and '90s.
The tax debate has smoldered quietly in recent months, with some government advisers and LDP politicians urging caution in raising the levy, while the Finance Ministry argues that the tax rise is needed for Japan to put its fiscal house in order.
Finance Minister Taro Aso, himself a former LDP prime minister, said on Tuesday that in the tax-hike law, "it's written that we won't do it unless the economy has gotten better."
The debate is expected to heat up after a July 21 Upper House election, which Abe's coalition is expected to win, sealing his lock on power as he already controls the more powerful Lower House.

MacRumors reports today on a fascinating Japanese alarm clock app called Okite, that is designed to go all out to ensure that you don't oversleep, by automatically sending out silly and embarrassing tweets to your Twitter account (assuming you have one, of course) every time you press the snooze button. Here are some of the strange tweets that will be sent out if you dare to oversleep, courtesy of MacRumours:
As the Japanese culture blog that featured the app notes, to be publicly embarassed (although in a fairly lighthearted way, it must be said) in Japan is quite a punishment, so this should be a very effective way of getting people out of bed. Unfortunately for heavy sleepers in the rest of the world, the app is only available in a Japanese language version, and only in the Japanese App Store."From today on I'm going to head to work via unicycle."
"I want to buy a fast red Ferrari and a horse!"
"Just as I thought, I want to become a stewardess."

Clear QAM is digital cable - the 722k only outputs analog cable signals (not sure what the modulation is called for that). You could send it to that box if it'll still accept an analog signal - but why would you want to? Recording from one DVR to another? Only reason I can think to do that would be to free up space - but to do that an external hard drive is much easier and faster.

2013 will be the biggest online Christmas shopping year in history, many expecting the £10bn mark to be passed.
With the opportunity inherent, companies face challenges, from shipping to staffing.
But during and after the sales are made, customer service becomes one of the main headaches for companies. If an omnichannel strategy is missing, cue disappointed and increasingly vocal customers.
The customer service expectations of consumers in the UK and beyond has been revealed by Zendesk in a study polling 7,000 people in seven countries. The participants were aged 18-64, with 1,000 surveyed in each of the U.K, U.S., Australia, Brazil, France, Germany and Japan.
The data suggest that British customers demand the highest-levels of customer service in Europe. The data also reveal much about preferred communication channels and what good customer service can do for a brand.

I thought I'd share a recent study into Twitter usage habits, conducted by Carolin Gerlitz and Bernhard Rieder. I missed this back in May, when it was first released, so apologies if you've already seen it.
The findings are significantly different to an older study from 2010 by a Microsoft team (Boyd, Golder and Lotan). This may be due to a different - arguably more robust - sampling method, using the Twitter Streaming API. Or, it may be that usage habits have evolved in the intervening three years.
The full research is available here. It is a rather dense read, though a rewarding one. For those of you with TL;DR syndrome I have extracted some highlights.

A weakened Typhoon Haiyan headed for Vietnam after devastating the central Philippines as possibly the deadliest natural disaster on record there.
In one town alone, officials say there could be as many as 10,000 people dead. In another, at least 300 people are confirmed dead as rescue efforts swing into high gear.
The storm left corpses hanging from tree branches, scattered along sidewalks and among flattened buildings. In its aftermath, looters have raided grocery stores and gas stations in search of food, fuel and water.
The storm surge created a 20-foot wall of water and some areas still have not been reached because they are cut off by flooding and landslides.
It's expected to take days to assess the storm's full impact but the nation's interior secretary says "all systems, all vestiges of modern living _ communications, power, water _ all are down.''
