Warning given over 'housing crisis'
9:28am Thursday 17th May 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
A new report urges the Government to 'get Britain building' in a bid to tackle the 'burgeoning housing crisis'
More new homes must be built to tackle "the country's burgeoning housing crisis", a new report has said.
The National Housing Federation, homelessness charity Shelter and the Chartered Institute of Housing have called on the Government to do more after publishing their second Housing Report which finds it is failing in five out of 10 key issues.
It urged the coalition to "get Britain building" to provide thousands of much-needed homes, with the benefit of stimulating the economy.
The report found that affordability of the rented sector, help with housing costs, homelessness, the housing supply and overcrowding were getting worse.
The study found no change in the issues of home ownership, mobility and planning while there were improvements in empty homes and "evictions, repossessions and arrears".
After publishing the findings, the authors said "the Government is falling well short in tackling the country's burgeoning housing crisis".
David Orr, chief executive of the National Housing Federation, which represents housing associations, said: "Much more needs to be done to tackle this country's dire housing crisis. Unless we build significantly more homes, it will only get worse.
"Building new homes will help fix our broken housing market and, with rising unemployment and living costs, spur economic growth by creating jobs and supporting small businesses. It's a win/win for the taxpayer and for the millions stuck on waiting lists."
Progress to get Britain building was being made, Housing Minister Grant Shapps said, adding he was "delighted that such an influential range of organisations are now joining me in raising housing as one of the key issues we face in this country today".
Mr Shapps said: "With the support of the Prime Minister our housing plans are taking centre stage in the economic recovery, getting people into jobs, helping aspiring homeowners on to the housing ladder and getting Britain building. We have made real progress and I am pleased that this is recognised by a number of 'green' and 'amber' lights in the report, but I am under no illusions that we still have a long way to go."

can adam eaton please sod off? i mean, remember how crummy brian burres and chris waters were last year? adam eaton was not even that good. you know what? adam eaton hasn't had a season better than chris waters (2008) in about 5 years...when he was pitching for the padres. that's right: pitching in (i believe) the most-pitcher friendly park in the league, adam eaton was a nominally league average pitcher. in fact, in his best of six seasons in san diego, he posted an ERA+ of 103.
i just don't get how simon or waters or bass or penn don't exhibit a greater potential for success. this is a very low bar, here, but really.
i know i'm treading no new ground here w/ this post, but hendrickson and eaton are sending me around the bend. i haven't been this frustrated since the front office spent its offseason kitty on conine and millar!
serenity now. serenity now.

Rail punctuality down (From The Northern Echo)
For details on how to contact our editorial and commercial departments, click here
Rail punctuality down
4:52pm Friday 11th January 2013 in News
FLOODS, staff shortages and constant morning rush-hour problems combined to drag down rail punctuality last month.
The two main London to Scotland companies - East Coast and Virgin West Coast - ran fewer than four in five trains on time in the period December 9 2012 to January 5 2013, Network Rail (NR) said.
London Midland, where passengers have experienced repeated staff shortages, only reached a 77.7 per cent trains-on-time figure for the period.
But some companies ran almost all of their services on time, with London to Tilbury and Southend company c2c achieving a 98.0 per cent figure.
Overall, a total of 88.2 per cent of trains ran on time in the four-week period compared with 88.8 per cent in the same period over the new year in 2011/12.
Virgin's figure was 75.8 per cent and East Coast only reached 77.2 per cent
Network Rail said: ''Severe weather with multiple flooding, landslide and embankment slip events caused severe disruption over a number of days to many train operators and particularly impacted our long-distance customers.''
Today's (Friday, January 11) figures, which come only a few days after passengers saw their season tickets rise by an average 4.2 per cent, do not include cancellations and delays caused by planned engineering work.

What is nano-SIM card
While looking for how the nano-SIM is different from other SIM cards I came across an interesting presentation from G&D. The above picture summarises the different types of SIM cards in use. The following is an extract from their whitepaper:
When the GSM network first appeared, mobile devices resembled bricks or even briefcases, and SIM cards were the size of credit cards. The subsequent miniaturization of the phones led to the standardization of smaller SIMs, the Plug-in SIM, and later the Mini-UICC also known as 3rd form factor (3FF). With the introduction of Apples iPad, the 3FF, or the Micro-SIM as it was then called, established itself widely in the market.
Nevertheless, the trend towards miniaturization of the SIM card is still not over. The latest form factor which is currently in discussion at ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) is the 4th form factor (4FF) or Nano-SIM. Measuring 12.3 x 8.8 mm, the Nano-SIM is about 30 percent smaller than the Micro-SIM. Even the thickness (0.7 mm) of the card has been reduced by about 15 percent a tremendous technical challenge.
The Nano-SIM offers device manufacturers the crucial advantage of freeing up extra space for other mobile phone Nano-SIM The smallest SIM form factor on the market components such as additional memory or larger batteries. Popular smart phones in particular have to strike a balance between the need for components that are more powerful but bulkier and a slim design. The reduced volume of the 4FF gives manufacturers the opportunity to produce devices that are thinner and more appealing.
In case you were wandering the differences that are causing the disagreements, here are the differences between the formats:

We have young talent that is well coached. This means they play with effort. And effort beats teams, especially bad ones. We're simply not bad enough.
When will you dummies on team chill stop being asses and admit your fears? We're not fearful over reactionary worriers, we're acknowledging reality. And you guys aren't. What will it take? I just want to know what record do we have to have for the worriers to no longer be condescended to. Milwaukee, Utah, Orlando, Sacramento...we're more than likely better than all of them.

This recipe is great! I wasn't sure what to expect with a maple mustard sauce, but it is similar to honey mustard (but better!). The chicken was very tender and flavorful. Served it with roasted red potatoes and green beans.

Jaime Moyer is in Rockies camp this spring. Fun facts about Jaime Moyer.
He made his MLB debut the season after Ned Yost played his last MLB season.
Yost never faced Moyer, but former Royals managers Bob Boone (1-4), Buddy Bell (0-10), and Tony Pena (2-2) have.
The year Moyer was drafted, the Royals selected Scott Bankhead in the first round. Bankhead had a decent MLB career, and has been retired for sixteen seasons.
During Jamie Moyer's senior year at St. Joseph's, Felipe Paulino was born.
The hitters that have Felipe Paulino's back today:
LF Alex Gordon
1B Billy Butler
CF Lorenzo Cain
RF Mitch Maier
SS Irving Falu
The battle for Western Kansas starts today.

"That was kind of surprising to me, the amount of people that participate in the mediation clean out has gone up," Kenna Payne one of the event coordinators. "I thought it would go down as more people got rid of their medications, but it's gone up. We have anywhere from 250 to 650 participants depending on where it's at and the time of year."
In the 25 previous cleanout events, the poison center has collected more than 12,000 pounds of unused medications.

(WMC-TV) – A Memphis man left his two young children home alone while he sold drugs in the parking lot at Oak Court mall, police say.
Adam Gaia, 33, is charged with possession of marijuana and aggravated child abuse.
According to an affidavit of complaint, Gaia was known to drive around the mall parking lot and sell marijuana out of his car. Police say they pulled over his car and found more than two pounds of weed in a black garbage bag sitting on the passenger seat.
Gaia cooperated with investigators, who say he told them his recently deceased uncle's house was the drop point used between him and his supplier. Police say they found more than seven pounds of weed at that house.
According to the affidavit of complaint, Gaia told investigators his two daughters, ages 8 months and 2 years old, were left alone at his other house while he went and worked the mall parking lot. Police went to that address and found both children home alone, unharmed. The children were released to their mother and an uncle.
Gaia is locked up in the Shelby County jail on $70,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court Friday morning.

A couple needs to provide required documentation, complete the application form, show evidence of any required tests or premarital counseling, and pay the required fees. The regulations and charges for applying for a marriage license differ widely between countries and even within countries.
In most states and countries, you are breaking the law if you lie when you fill out your marriage license application. The legal consequences of giving false information on a marriage license application include being charged with a misdemeanor or with perjury.
After completing the marriage application form and swearing that the information provided is true, a couple will be given a marriage license. Some jurisdictions issue the marriage license immediately while others have a waiting period.
Receiving the marriage license does not mean you are married. In order to be legally married in most locales, you must have a wedding ceremony performed by an authorized officiant and the marriage license needs to be registered with the governmental authority that issued the marriage license.

text: Dark melancholic metal music with melody and a good production. The lyrics are very poetic and dark, and deals with lonliness, suicide and love. Very well written. The vocals are kind of harsh black metal like, but are whispered at the same time and sometimes you can hear a beautiful female voice which fits in perfectly with the atmosphere…It starts off with "She Painted Fire Across The Skyline", an almost 19 minute long song which is just brilliant, the best song on the album. The following track "The Misshapen Steed" is a beutiful piece of music which just gives me shivers up my back everytime I listen to it..All the remaining songs are amazing also (especially "As Embers Dress The Sky" and "The Melancholy Spirit"). Not one bad song on this album. So if you like this kind of dark depressive metal you should try this out. Even if you do not like this kind of music I think you should give this album a shot. These guys deserve all fame they can get and besides that: What more can you ask from an album that this album does not offer?

We live in New England and between the end of summer and fall, a lot of people want to start to use their fire places but they are smart to think that they should first have it cleaned. We ended up going and getting booked a lot quicker than the year before but we did not have a way to be able to talk to those people that wanted to schedule during the off time of normal business hours. The local community college has a web design course and even a degree program and we were hoping that we would be able to find someone that wanted to be able to update our site so that people could schedule an appointment online.

Netflix to Stream 'House of Cards' in 4K to Select Smart TVs This Spring
4K is pretty much "the next big thing," like it or not. Of course, for 4K to really mesmerize you in your living room, there will need to be both UHD TVs and 4K content available — eventually. As far as the content side of things goes, Netflix is taking 4K delivery very seriously. And while widespread availability of true ultra-high def media is going to take some time, you may not have to wait nearly as long for select Netflix presentations in 4K. In fact, if you own one of a select few types of smart TVs, you may be watching the second season of House of Cards in 4K this coming Spring. More »
Oscar-Winning Roger Corman's Drive-In YouTube Channel Offers 400 B-Movie Essentials for $4 a Month
Of all the filmmakers of all time, few can claim the sheer volume of titles to their name as Roger Corman — never mind his other accomplishments. The 87-year-old director, producer, writer, and occasional actor is still active in his 60 year film career, during which he has coached countless high-profile auteurs, fostered the careers of several notable actors, and earned a 2009 Honorary Academy Award. He has also already denied services such as Hulu streaming rights to his extensive ~400 film canon even for an offered $5-6,000 per film (to be paid to him) — but has agreed to launch "Corman's Drive-In" as a $4/mo paid YouTube channel in the summer.

YouTube Launches First Paid Channel Subscriptions Starting at $1 Per Month
Inevitable as it was, YouTube has finally rolled out the initial phase of its first ever attempt at paid subscription content. The 30 channels offered in this 'pilot program' span a wide range of demographics and subject matter — which is to be expected from the place where a vast majority of web video lives. Especially judging by these first 30 channels, this news likely won't have no-budget filmmakers screaming anything about a 'self-distribution revolution,' but it certainly offers a more direct line of monetization for content owners than ad-based revenue. Viewers can try out any of the channels with a two-week free trial, and they start at $1 a month. Read on for more details. More »

The Cubs went out of there way this offseason to get more LH and in effect by diversifying the types of bats we had, decreased the flexibility of the roster; largely based on the loss of Mark DeRosa. An injury-free season may have covered up this hole, but such was not the case and when Aramis Ramirez went down (the most indisposable Cub piece), the Cubs lack of depth was exposed immediately.
Since that time we've been pining for solutions and now one may have just fallen into our hands. The White Sox decided to designate Wilson Betemit for assignment yesterday in order to promote uber-prospect Gordon Beckham. Congrats to Sox fans for getting to watch a young talented player who can play all over the diamond, best of luck to you and Mr. Beckham, I for one think he's going to be a very good player.
But today, I want to focus on Betemit. Betemit is a switch-hitting utility player that has never really been given consistent playing time at any major league stop, despite showing good skills. He strikes out too much (28% career rate), but he draws walks (10% rate), hits for power (9.7% extra base hit rate) and has played every position on the diamond except C and CF. He's the PERFECT solution for us right now based on his skill set and now his availability. The only seasons he's gotten more than 250 PA's, he's posted an OPS over .780 and he's just 27 years old.
Go get him Jim Hendry, like.... NOW

The fourth fight on the main card of Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum is Josh Barnett vs. Brett Rogers. This is a heavyweight bout, meaning both competitors are between 206lbs and 265lbs (weigh-in results here). This bout serves as one of the last remaining Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix bouts along with Alistair Overeem vs. Fabricio Werdum. Barnett is a former UFC heavyweight champion.
What are their stats?
Josh Barnett: 6'3", 256lbs
Brett Rogers: 6'4", 258lbs
How did they get here?
What are their ways to win?
For Barnett, he likely can win anywhere the fights goes if his skills are still up to par. He has strong striking skills, a durable chin and experience against top MMA strikers. However, the greatest disparity in talent exists on the floor. Barnett is an excellent submission grappler with decent takedowns, but excellent positional advancement skills, good control and powerful ground and pound.
Rogers, by contrast, has to keep this fight standing. He isn't a polished striker, but is possessive of powerful punches and enormous strength.
What's at stake?
Both fighters risk losing whatever legitimacy they're hanging on to in addition to a place in the semi-finals of the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix. This fight is more about proving something at the next step, although of the two Barnett has far more to lose.

Regional determinants of manufacturing start-ups in Greece: evidence on the effect of agglomeration economies
AbstractThe paper analyses the regional determinants of manufacturing start-up ratios in Greece. Emphasis is placed upon analysing the effect of agglomeration economies, which are distinguished between urbanisation, and localisation economies. The data refer to establishments realised in the 51 Greek prefectures (NUTS III level) during 2005. Results indicate that negative urbanisation economies prevail. Localisation economies in the form of positive Marshallian and negative Jacobian externalities are observed and constitute important determinants of start-up ratios. Results regarding the effect of other factors such as expected demand and profit, cost and human resources factors are as anticipated.

EDITORIAL COMMENT: Public must hear Friar's Walk debate
9:20am Tuesday 16th June 2009 in News By South Wales Argus
WE were baffled when we learned that a Newport Council cabinet meeting to discuss the ditched Friars Walk shopping scheme was to be held behind closed doors.
How could the collapse of the single biggest project in Newport not be debated by councillors in public?
We were so incensed that we approached council leader Matthew Evans and asked him to review the decision.
We're glad to say he did and now the meeting today will be open to the public with only commercially sensitive information regarding contracts and financial issues held in private.
It is the right decision.
Not to allow the public to hear the reasons why this major development ended up shelved would have been completely the wrong way of handling this.
Our letters page and our website has been full of people giving their opinions since we broke the news last week.
It has been the topic dominating talk in Newport for the last seven days.
The public has every right to attend.
And for those who can't attend, they have the right to read a report of that council meeting in the Argus.
It is essential the public is armed with as much detail as possible on this subject.
Otherwise the whole scheme would continue to be surrounded in rumour, speculation and gossip.

This location is shown only to members
New members -- this one is for you! If you've joined in the past two months, you can RSVP to this easy-paced evening stroll up Mount Vic and meet some other new faces to Adventure Wellington.
The Plan: We start in front of the Embassy Theatre on Kent Terrace, and walk up Majori Banks Street until we reach the park...then up the hill to the Mount Victoria Lookout for some terrific 360 degree views.
Then we walk down again, following the last part of the Southern Walkway, with great views of the city and Oriental Bay, ending at the Southern Cross near Cuba Street for a drink and free food platters.
Although the tracks are steep, we would do it on an easy pace with lots of stops to admire the views. The walk will take about two hours.
After the walk, those who are interested can come for a customary AW after-event drink!
Difficulty: 2.5/5
Distance: 6.5 km
Time: 2 hours (including 15 minutes at the summit)
What to bring: sturdy shoes, a camera, and maybe a walking stick for traversing the steep hills
How to get there: Frequently served by buses (catch a bus going to Courtenay Place) and we will end close to where we started (at the waterfront at Oriental Parade).
I take my hat of to the organisers of these events (Eugene et al for this one). Great idea and lots of fun.

Solar heat
Solar is very hot at the moment. A list of cleantech stock picks for 2014 has First Solar (a solar manufacturer) and SolarCity (a solar installer) at Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, and further down the list are a solar holding company, Renewable Energy Trade Board, and a solar equipment company, Meyer Burger.
There are many reports, including one on another site that I write for on occasion TriplePundit, that the solar market is heading for a "second gold rush" this year; there's little to dispute the fact that solar is definitely an in thing, especially for investors. Read the rest of this entry »
Dishing up some solar energy alchemy
When it comes to renewable energy and efficiency, a double-dip in the dish is a great deal.
The latest in solar dish technology that does what solar installations do—converts sunlight into power—but with an added twist: it generates clean water.
The efficiency of the typical solar installation ranges from 10 to 20 percent, with the rest waste heat. Swiss researchers associated with IBM have developed the High Concentration PhotoVoltaic Thermal system (HCPVT), which uses that waste solar heat to generate fresh water.
It's reminiscent of the ancient craft of turning lead into gold. But it's not alchemy, it's real. Read the rest of this entry »
Huge drop in solar costs on the way
Reports of the solar industry's pending demise have been greatly exaggerated, at least according to research by McKinsey.
According to the consultancy, the solar-power industry is merely suffering from "growing pains." The article, "Solar power: Darkest before dawn," dispels the notion that the industry has "lapsed into a classic cycle of boom and bust after a decade of unprecedented growth" even though that might appear to be what's happening.

Earth Day viewing: Nova's Power Surge
PBS' production of Power Surge, aired on Nova Wednesday night, is an excellent companion as we settle in for Earth Day musings and strategies.
The show lays out the current status of climate change and what is doable on an individual and global basis. For example energy efficiency, while certainly not the total answer, will help tremendously. Take a look at the carbon footprint of the average U.S. family in a year–some 50 tons of CO2!
Remarkably, while there's no glossing over that what we've done to the planet is alarming and dangerous and getting more so — the show has an upbeat and even optimistic message. It's a solvable crisis because we have the technology and innovative ideas; we need the will for change.
A solar 'sledgehammer' to produce biomass gas
This is really neat but will using solar power to create fuel have long-term legs? We'll see – at some point alternative, renewal fuel ideas will have to catch on, won't they?
Anyway this one is called solar biomass gasification, a concept and process that's been around for some time, mostly in university scientific research circles. A relatively new company that has emerged from that university research environment, Sundrop Fuels Inc., might have the drop on making a commercial go of it.
CEO Wayne Simmons puts it quite succinctly: "We're going to convert the sun's energy into liquid fuel using concentrated solar power to gasify biomass, then convert the resulting syngas into green gasoline or diesel."
Beam it down, Sol
The idea of the Solar power satellite is the yin to the yang of the Ronald Reagan's expensive 1980s Star Wars fantasy, and almost as old. Scientists for decades have explored the potential of using space-based solar cells to beam power to the Earth.
Now the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has gone beyond whimsy by actually signing up several major collaborators to launch a giant one-gigawatt space solar power satellite into space. The players are huge – Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric and Sharp – and the bucks that JAXA has indicated it will invest in the project are also massive, $21 billion worth.
Shining industrial rooftops
Warehouses and distribution facilities may be emptier inside than usual these days, but the rooftop space above is a great and largely untapped solar energy resource.
Distribution facility developer ProLogis, which was hard-hit last year by the collapse of the real estate industry, is on the cutting edge of what could and should be a bright business and sustanability opportunity in the logistics and warehousing arena.
The Denver company has formed a Global Renewable Energy Group that will oversee the procurement, development and management of new eco-friendly properties while providing management services for renewable energy projects, including a major push to provide rooftop space for solar energy installations.
One of the group's first management efforts was announced recently: A new, 4.8-megawatt (MW) solar project that will be installed on eight rooftops at the ProLogis Park Sant Boi in Barcelona and ProLogis Park Alcala in Madrid, Spain. It's a co-development arrangement with San Francisco's Recurrent Energy that also marks Recurrent's first foray into Europe.
Labor daze item – Shanghai Corporate Pavilion
If you're wondering what to do with all of those old CD cases stacked around the ranch now that you either store and listen to your music online and/or have your faves stored on MP3s, how about building a new house or office with them? It can be done.
The China architecture firm Atelier Feichang Jianzhu (check out its amazing website) designed the stunning Shanghai Corporate Pavilion using thousands of plastic tubes made entirely from CD cases.
Even better, the polycarbonate tubes can be recycled again entirely at the end of the building's life.
And it's solar! Energy is collected by way of a 5,249-foot solar thermal energy system of heat conducting tubes on the roof. They heat water up to 95 F and will be used to generate electricity.
The Shanghai Pavilion also features a misting system that can be sprayed in various patterns under the entrance ceiling, but it's not merely a cosmetic nicety. The mist also will lower the temperature, purify the air and help create a comfortable climate in the pavilion.
Feds, FedEx living large with solar
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and FedEx Ground don't have much in common but there is this: Both are engaged in massive solar projects.
FedEx Ground, the small-package shipping unit of FedEx Corp., plans to install the nation's largest rooftop solar-electric system at its 80-acre distribution hub in Woodbridge, N.J.
And the Army Corps of Engineers last week chose Clark Energy Group to develop the largest solar power project in Department of Defense history at Fort Irwin, CA. Acciona Solar Power will team with Clark to construct and manage the Fort Irwin Energy Solar Energy EUL project. The Enhanced Use Learning program is administered by the Corps' Baltimore District.
The FedEx solar project is the third solar power project between a FedEx operating company and BP Solar and the fifth solar power project overall for FedEx. The 2.42-megawatt solar power system will cover approximately 3.3 acres of roof top space, using about 12,400 solar panels.
When completed, the system will have the capacity to produce approximately 2.6 million kilowatt hours of electricity a year and could provide up to 30 percent of the hub's annual energy needs.
As part of the agreement, BP will install and operate the solar power system and FedEx will purchase the power generated.
Installation is scheduled to begin this month and is slated for completion by November.
When the system is fully operational, the combined environmental benefits based on a projected annual reduction of approximately 1,867 metric tons of CO2 emissions, are equivalent to one of the following:
- More than 340 passenger cars not driven for one year
- 211,900 gallons of gasoline not burned
- 4,300 barrels of oil not consumed
- 259 households' electricity use for one year
- 47,872 tree seedlings grown for 10 years
- 13 acres of forest preserved from deforestation
Last year, FedEx Freight installed two solar power systems. One in Whittier, CA, is a 282-kilowatt system, while another in Fontana, CA, is a 269-kilowatt system. In 2005, FedEx Express activated a 904-kilowatt system at its Oakland, Calif., hub facility, making it the first of its kind in the FedEx family. That system today meets up to 80 percent of that facility's peak energy demand. And, FedEx is currently constructing its Central and Eastern European gateway at the Cologne/Bonn, Germany, airport, which will include a 1.4-megawatt solar power system. The hub is slated for completion in 2010.
FedEx's Woodbridge hub sits on a former brownfield site once used to stockpile soils dredged from the nearby Raritan River. Soils and groundwater were contaminated with various polluting substances, primarily arsenic. To build the facility, FedEx Ground worked with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection on a remedial action for the site. Today, the hub houses a workforce of more than 1,000 employees and independent contractors.
Suntech inks partnerships with CECIC, China Huadian
China's Suntech Power Holdings Co., is joining forces with China Energy Conservation Investment Corporation to develop solar power projects in China over the next five years.
In addition, the company signed an agreement with the China Huadian New Energy Development Co. (HNE) to develop utility-scale and commercial rooftop solar projects totaling 500mw in China's western provinces.
The recent announcements were the latest in a flurry of moves by the world's largest crystalline photovoltaic module manufacturer, which has regional headquarters in Beijing, Wuxi, China and San Francisco. Suntech trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol STP.
Financial terms of the deals were not disclosed.
Under the partnership with CECIC, the state-owned energy conservation company will be responsible for project investment and solar project development, while Suntech will supply the solar products, system design and technical support. The plan is to develop large-scale, on-grid projects, urban building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) projects, rural off-grid projects and wind-solar hybrid projects.
CECIC focuses on energy conservation investment and also consults on conservation and policy to government agencies.
In the deal with HNE, Suntech will supply silicon solar modules along with system design and tech support. HNE will oversee investment and solar project development.
Suntech said the projects developed under the collaborations could include solar initiatives previously announced by the company in Qinghai province, Shaanxi province, Ningxia province's Shizuishan city, Panzhihua in Sichuan province and in Jiangsu province.

By Christian Jennings - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Two men pulled up to a convenience store on Highway 319 in a pickup truck, Thursday night in Thomasville, shattered a window, threw a chain around the money machine, and drove off.
This is the fourth ATM snatch and grab like this we've covered since June. We know there have been others in Tallahassee. Now many people want to know what it's going to take to catch these crooks.
It was a loud day inside Suzie Q's convenience store.
"I was wondering if there was a remodeling project going on," said David Baxley.
Oh there was remodeling going on alright, it was the owners only choice after what happened early Friday morning.
Two men pulled up in what investigators believe is a 2001 Maroon Dodge Pickup truck, shattered the glass, lassoed a rope around the ATM, dragged it outside, loaded it up, and drove off.
"It's made them a drive through window," said Baxley.
If the sight looks familiar that's because it is. Over the past couple of months, the ATM bandits have hit Grady county, Thomas county twice now, and Mitchell county.
Every time they use the same tactic, and once again, they leave a little richer.
"It's not right, people should find something else to do besides stuff like this," said Willie Mitchell.
"They'll get caught sooner or later, you can run but you can't hide," said Baxley.
That may be true, but so far the two men you're looking at have been elusive.
Now the question is, where will they strike next? Investigators in Thomas, Grady, and Mitchell counties can't confirm that the two ATM bandits in last night's theft are the same ones responsible for the other ATM thefts. But as you saw, they all went down the exact same way.
If you have any information, call the Thomas county Sheriff's office at 229-225-3315.

We're running a two round (no trade) draft and I'm making up my big board for it. I was wondering who you all liked in the first two rounds, and what kind of spread you had on the players..
Off the bat I would say you're going to need a new ILB to pick up Lewis's absence. So I'm thinking Ogletree (he'll be gone for sure), Brown (also likely gone) or Manti (who will probably still be available) Honestly though, that's pretty much where my knowledge of your team stops. Would appreciate any help you can offer.

Just across the Golden Gate from San Francisco is a very large scientific instrument called the Bay Model. It's an exact miniature duplicate of San Francisco Bay's bottom contours made of concrete, with pipes and pumps to mimic the tides. The model is used to study how the waters of the Bay behave—for instance, if you wanted to dam the Golden Gate.
It works pretty well, but it's about as big as such an analog tool can be built. You couldn't build a model like it for the Mediterranean Sea and the whole North Atlantic Ocean, to test a scientist's proposal to dam the Strait of Gibraltar.
A Dire Chain of Events
Robert Johnson, a retired professor at the University of Minnesota, took the front page of the 8 July 1997 Eos to point out that the Mediterranean Sea is being starved of fresh water, as human activities have diverted the flow of rivers, mainly the Nile, away from the sea. He predicts a dire chain of events.
The Mediterranean evaporates and grows saltier (global warming reinforces this too), and more seawater pours in from the Atlantic through the Strait of Gibraltar and spreads across the surface. That in turn pushes more of the very salty deep Mediterranean water out at Gibraltar into the deep waters of the Atlantic, and there's where the trouble begins, Johnson says. The same set of events happened when the last major ice age began 120,000 years ago, he explained in a 1997 issue of Earth and Planetary Science Letters, though what dried up the Nile at that time was weaker African monsoons.
The salty bottom water flowing out at Gibraltar mixes with very cold water on the Atlantic floor and turns rightward, to the north, until it bumps up against the seafloor rise off Ireland, Scotland, and the Faeroe Islands to their north. The obstacle pushes the cold, salty water toward the surface, into the warm surface currents that bring Gulf Stream water to the British Isles and Scandinavia. Normally the warm current isn't much affected, but if the Mediterranean outflow is boosted, so is this effect. The waters that warm northern Europe will be pushed aside by cold upwelling.
That warm flow in turn heads westward, past Iceland and Greenland, and into the cold seas off Canada, and there it creates increased snowfall on the places where the Canadian ice caps form. Imagine all the rains of England, the showers of Ireland, and the mists of Scotland falling as snow up on Baffin Island instead.
A Good Dam Idea
In "the next few decades," Johnson warns, northern Europe will cool and the snowfields of eastern Canada will expand. The high albedo or reflectance of the white snowfields, and the white clouds that hover above them, will keep them cold in a feedback cycle. Global warming will not prevent this but rather, by increasing the movement of moisture in the atmosphere, will make things worse.
Hence Johnson's call for a dam across the Strait of Gibraltar. It would pinch off most of the bottom part of the strait but have wide openings on the surface. The effect would be to slow the volume of deep water pouring out and, over the next few centuries, turn the Mediterranean saltier than today.
Keeping that salt cooped up, says Johnson, would have a happy side effect. Mediterranean salt is a key part of the hydrodynamic mechanism that keeps Antarctica surrounded by sea ice; if the sea ice can be maintained against global warming by reducing the salt balance, then the West Antarctic ice sheet could be kept from collapsing and raising the worldwide sea level by 6 meters.
No Time to Lose
The time to act is now, he says, while world society is fairly stable and oil supplies are strong. But we can't build a concrete model to test the plan first. We have to trust the digital models from—knock on wood—our computers.
Johnson is not the only visionary who wants to dam the Mediterranean. In 1929 Hermann Sorgel proposed using a Gibraltar dam to let the Mediterranean evaporate down 50 meters below its current level. The resulting basin could be tapped for hydroelectric power to make the Sahara bloom. In a recent refinement of this scheme by the irrepressible Richard Cathcart, some of this electric power would be used to modify the Earth's carbon dioxide balance and save us from global warming.
PS: Cathcart's ultimate engineering project is turning the whole planet into a gigantic shell around the Sun. That would be planeteering on the ultimate scale.

From my email....order form packets are going out late this week. Prices are:
1) Upper Level Package: $200 per seat
2) Lower Level Package: $260 per seat
My questions are still:
a) Are we going to be able to order more than our seat numbers? I thought before no, but the wording of the email makes me think otherwise. (for instance: "order forms")
b) Are "packages" including tickets for both days?
I don't know what I was expecting price wise, but I think the answer to b) will hopefully settle if I think this is fair or not.
