The Quiet Revolution of Formula E Electric Car Racing

Yes, hence my choice of '*rough* equivalent'. You obviously know WAY more about this than I do, but that was about the best thing I could come up with on the fly.
Re:Actually... (116 comments)
This is true, but I see the reasoning behind it. It's a rough equivalent to the salary cap in team sports. If you don't do this, it's highly likely that most of the time, the championships start just rotating between two or three most well-funded teams. And this makes it boring for everyone.
Re:Actually... (116 comments)
Thanks for the tip, and it actually reinforces my larger point: that it's going to be the racing side of the automotive industry that drives the kind of innovation in electric cars that will eventually make them more attractive to the average buyer.
Re: Put me squarely in (116 comments)
Oh yeah, I've been to MotoGP as well. I still prefer the sound of the F1 cars, but yeah, the bikes are pretty amazing, too.
Re:Actually... (116 comments)
I'd love to check out a Formula E race if I have a chance, and I hope the series does well. I think there's the potential for an all-electric racing series to contribute toward the technological development of powertrains in electric road-going cars, just as traditional gas-powered auto racing has with ICE road cars.
Concur. There's no amount of pedantic eco-shaming that's gonna convince me to buy and drive an utterly boring crapbox, which is the only affordable option these days. If anyone can figure out how to up the performance without sacrificing too much efficiency, it's F1. I'm excited to see them getting into this.
Put me squarely in (116 comments)
...The "opera" category. I'd never been to any sort of motorsports event until I experienced F1 at the Circuit of the Americas. There is nothing like hearing that banshee wail coming at you from all directions. Amazing.
That being said, hearing little but tire noise during a race would be pretty damn interesting, too. I'll definitely check it out if it comes to COTA.

Yes, bits are bits from a technical perspective, and it shouldn't really matter what device in the chain is doing the requesting of said bits. Unfortunately, he put his signature to a contract that (I'm guessing) defines it otherwise. Right or wrong, technically correct or not, he will have agreed to it, and (again, guessing) that's going to carry a lot more legal weight than any technical argument.

Spaccarelli has admitted that he has used his iPhone to provide Internet access for other devices, a practice known as tethering, which violates AT&T's contract terms. AT&T says that means it has the right to turn off his service.
Game, set, match. I have NO love for AT&T, but if this guy admits to violating their ToS, he doesn't have much of a leg to stand on.

You catch someone doing something like this, and you put them under arrest yourself and then hope they resist, at which point you may use necessary force to subdue them. In California, anyway. Bring a witness with a camera.
Almost. You beat his ass first and then figure out how to blame it on him. In Texas, anyway. Bring a shotgun.

Neurosurgeons Use MRI-Guided Lasers To Destroy Tumors
more standard treatment is .. (70 comments)
Operate (cut open skull) and remove (most of) the tumor.
- This being the brain, one must be very careful to minimize removing grey cells that are in use for non-tumor purposes.
- This being cancer, one can't generally get 100% of the tumor; it's not a neat growth, it has fingers that go elsewhere.
So what's left after surgery (and I'll guess, even with this laser thing) is a smaller tumor,
which gets killed through radiation therapy (first/mostly) and also by chemotherapy.
With brain tumors, the chemotherapy can sometimes be pill-based, which is good

Wednesday, May 25
Coors Field
Attendance: 26,972
Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Chris Young singled in the go-ahead run in the sixth inning and robbed Ty Wigginton of a potential tying homer in the eighth, lifting the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 2-1 win over the Colorado Rockies.
Ian Kennedy (6-1) threw eight strong innings to win his fifth consecutive decision. The right-hander is unbeaten over his last eight starts overall and finally got his first victory over the Rockies in his eighth start against them.
Justin Upton's groundout scored Ryan Roberts, also in the sixth inning for the Diamondbacks, winners in eight of their last nine contests.
Colorado's lone run came on Todd Helton's sacrifice fly, but the Rockies threatened to tie the game in the eighth. Wiggington belted a fly ball to the deepest part of Coors Field, but Young ranged back and extended his glove over the wall to pull the ball back in the park to end the inning.
"I don't remember exactly what I said," Kennedy said. "But that was one of the best catches I've ever seen. I probably owe him a dinner for that."
J.J. Putz retired the side in order in the ninth for his 14th save.
Jason Hammel (3-4) was the tough-luck loser in the third portion of this four- game series. He didn't give up an earned run over his seven innings pitched. Hammel yielded five hits and struck out five.
"Right now we're scratching and clawing to try and find anything," Hammel said. "So we're just as frustrated as everyone else is, and we're doing our best to get out of this funk."
Seth Smith doubled in the fourth, leading to Helton's sacrifice fly. The Rockies, though, failed to extend their lead the next inning despite loading the bases when Carlos Gonzalez grounded out to end the threat.
Alfredo Amezaga's high throw pulled Todd Helton off first base leading off the top of the sixth, allowing Roberts to reach safely. Kelly Johnson doubled to right prior to Upton's RBI groundout. Gonzalez made a leaping catch in front of the wall in left to retire Stephen Drew, but Young singled to left to give Arizona the lead, which held up.
Pinch-hitter Jonathan Herrera doubled with one out in the bottom of the seventh, and got to third on Dexter Fowler's groundout, but Smith grounded out to end the inning.

.- The Venezuelan Bishops' Conference said this week that education should not be made a political issue, because it is the right of all Venezuelans to receive quality, values-based education.
"The 'battle,' as some have called it, over education is not a question of political wins or losses, because values and rights are not subject to the polling booth," the bishops said in a statement read by the president of the Committee on Education, Bishop Jose Angel Divasson.
The statement, which was issued during the bishops' 36th Extraordinary Plenary Assembly, expresses their concern that the educational system could be subjected to a political agenda, something which is "arbitrary and exclusive."
The bishops criticized the "exaggerated militarism, the biased vision of history" that some want to impose on the new school curriculum. They called for an "extensive national dialogue" about the theoretical, pedagogical and philosophical foundations that should be understood in light of the constitution and not interpreted unilaterally."
They also called on the government not to implement the new curriculum and to make their educational policy plans public in order to prevent the spread of rumors.

Visiting GTC
GUAIX compite para la instalación de uno de los instrumentos de nueva generación para el telescopio español de 10 metros GTC. Este instrumento, llamado MEGARA, proporcionará espectroscopía de campo de integral (1x1 arcmin2) y multi-objeto a resolución intermedia-alta. Entre las fotos de la visita realizada recientemente se ve a Pedro Álvarez (director de GRANTECAN) junto a Armando Gil de Paz (investigador principal de MEGARA) en uno de los Folded-Cass de GTC, lugar donde se instalaría dicho instrumento.

First GTC data for the ESO/GTC SHARDS project
The new Moon at March 13rd and 14th provided excellent quality nights at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory. These days Pablo G. Pérez (SHARDS PI) and J. Gallego were visitors at the 10.4m GTC telescope. During this observing run, GUAIX members obtained superb deep images using the first of the medium band filters corresponding to the ESO/GTC SHARDS project.
Infrared Emission, ISM and Star Formation
From the 22nd to the 24th of February 2010, the Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie in Heidelberg hosted an international meeting focused on the interplay between star formation and the interstellar medium (ISM). The central topic of the workshop was the still debated nature of the tight correlation between infrared and radio emission in galaxies, although other more general properties of the ISM were also discussed. GUAIX member Juan Carlos Muñoz-Mateos gave a talk describing the radial distribution of dust properties in the galaxies of the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS).
Visit to Dept. of Astronomy, University of Florida
During the last February 4th and 5th, GUAIX members Cardiel, Zamorano and Gallego joined the UCM delegation that visited the University of Florida. During the visit, they were able to assist to the NASA STS-130 shuttle night launch.
HST/WFC3 Multi-cycle Treasury Program awarded to AEGIS
A HST/WFC3 Multi-cycle Treasury Program, led by Sandy Faber, has been awarded to the AEGIS collaboration. We will now be able to add a chunk of high-resolution, supremely sensitive J and H band imaging and ACS parallels to the fantastic existing sets of data in our favorite regions of sky, including the EGS. In Groth, this will amount to a contiguous region of 3x15 WFC3 tiles or about 200 sq arcmins.

I was going nuts I kept thinking I was turning gay or something... So for like 2 months I didn't smoke or listen to techno for a while. Also I stopped looking so metro sexual/pretty boy/Preppy for about 2 weeks. I also didn't wear my Collared shirts flipped up for about 2 weeks. I mean it tottally freaked me out.

Do mushrooms usually cause nausea? Because I am considering them as entertainment for a road trip coming up. I think i'm gonna go post poll...

Yes, shooms can give some people nausea. When I eat them sometimes I feel like I need to puke for a few minutes but the feeling always passes and then I feel great.

i get scared when im in cars lol, on the way from the mall we spun out and almost hit a tree....and i seen my whole life flash be4 my eyes.Most anything that would normally be fun or even a little bit boring outdoors. Hiking, aimlessly walking, concerts, riding around on a bus or in a car (not driving). If a friend has a pool at his house or somthing that's always fun. Just hanging out in a comfortable outdoors place tripping with a couple good friends is the best.
p.s. i kinda want to be out side when i trip, but alot of people say its a bad idea but i love the forest so idk, good idea to be out in the woods?

-Talking philosophy whether it be with friends or simply talking to your self(I really enjoy talking philosophy on psychedelics especially if you have a tape recorder. So many interesting things will just pop up out of your psyche, without a tape recorder though, you will probably wonder off rambling and then absolutely forget about everything you were just talking about.)
Anything that involves the human imagination aswell as allowing your soul to connect with both the universe and the planet will always result in a epiphany aswell as a higher understanding of the invisible patterns that connect everything together in an ancient monolith of reasoning.

Job Market Remains Challenging For 2013 Graduates
By editor
Originally published on Wed June 5, 2013 9:52 am
For the past five years, graduation day has been a time of apprehension as much as celebration. Prospects for those entering the workforce for the first time were bleak. The class of 2013 — whether from high school or college — has cause for more optimism than previous classes.

Brazil sensation Neymar has admitted it would be a dream come true to play for Chelsea.
Neymar enhanced his claims as one of the best young talents in the world with a virtuoso display in Brazil's 2-0 win over Scotland on Sunday.
The Santos attacker has been linked with a move to Europe for some time with all the top clubs on the continent chasing his signature.
Chelsea have held a long-term interest in the 19-year-old and Neymar has admitted he would be happy to make the move to Stamford Bridge.
"Chelsea's a great club," Neymar told Sky Sports News. "It's a dream of every player to play at Chelsea.
"If one day it happens, I will be very happy to come.
"When the moment comes we are going to sit with my family.
"We are going to think about it and discuss the options."
Chelsea tried to sign Neymar last summer, but the skilful forward did not feel the time was right to leave Brazil.
However, the teenager would give serious thought to a move to West London this summer if Chelsea come calling again for his services.
"Last year, when Chelsea came, we sat together and we thought it wasn't the time yet," added Neymar. "If it happens this year, we are going to sit again and are going to discuss about it."
Despite attracting interest from a host of clubs, Neymar insists he is happy at Santos for the time being.
"I am happy there and, when the time comes, God will make me take the right decision and things will happen," concluded Neymar.
Neymar's Brazilian team-mate David Luiz would love to see his compatriot join him at Stamford Bridge.
"Neymar is going to be one of the best players in the world and I would love it if he came to join me at Chelsea," said Luiz.
"I'm very happy to be at one of the best teams in the world and everything has been very positive.
"Chelsea are fighting for the Premier League and Champions League and I am sure that I'll become a better player.
"For Neymar it would be the same."

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Britain give human smugglers free rein
Tue Feb 8, 2011 10:30AM
The British government is opening up the country to human traffickers by
scrapping special police and investigative units in charge of tackling
such criminals.
The government has already raised eyebrows by snubbing a European Union
directive on human trafficking, which could help coordinate efforts to
protect victims of child slavery among others and sue criminals.
Now it is mulling to end the Gang Masters Licensing Authority in charge of
examining the agricultural sector to discover unlawful Labour that earlier
found child slaves as young as nine working under severe conditions in
British farmlands.
This is while, the Metropolitan Police has already shut down its Human
Trafficking Unit and Operation Golf, which specialized on child smuggling.
The government is also ending the Serious Organized Crime Agency, which
had taken over the state-funded Human Trafficking Centre earlier as part
of the savings program.
Other programs facing the axe are the Poppy Project, which offers shelter
to women trafficked to Britain, as well as the Border Agency's
a**reflectiona** time to determine whether an individual is trafficked.
The government is putting a contract on the former out on tender to
replace it with a less specialist alternative at 60% of the costs while
the decision-making time for the latter is to be limited from the current
45 days to 30 days, which is the shortest time across Europe along with
Greece and Bulgaria.
The controversial decisions by the government come as Britain is the
destination of some 4,000 people, mostly women, trafficked annually for
sex trade along with others among them hundreds of children smuggled to
serve as slaves.
The government is currently under pressure by senior Liberal Democrats who
are ardently seeking a resolution to the Eurosceptic attitude especially
among Tories, which is preventing Britain from joining the EU human
trafficking directive.
"The European Union has bent over backwards to accommodate the British
Government's concerns. I can see no reason why not to sign up to the
directive,a** said Lib Dem home affairs spokesman Tom Brake.
Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper is also expected to slam the coalition
over satisfying its Eurocepticism by allowing such serious criminal
activity go unchecked.
"The Olympic Games, dismantling of the UK Human Trafficking Centre and the
Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre and the deep cuts to
voluntary groups will all make ending trafficking of vulnerable women and
girls a greater challenge,a** she is to tell a national conference on
human trafficking on Wednesday.
a**That's why the Government should back tough new measures and
Europe-wide action. David Cameron must stop pandering to anti-European
prejudices in some parts of his party and sign the directive."
The government is to announce its policy on human trafficking at the end
of this month and this week's conference aims to consult related charities
and support groups on the subject though participants are not optimistic
saying the government has already taken all decisions.

British Journal of Cancer , (16 February 2012) | doi:10.1038/No evidence for the involvement of XMRV or MCV in the pathogenesis of breast cancerG Khan, P S Philip, M Naase and K M I Al ZarouniAbstractBackground:The aetiology of breast cancer remains elusive. A viral aetiology has been proposed, but to date no virus has been conclusively demonstrated to be involved. Recently, two new viruses, namely Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) and xenotropic murine leukaemia virus-related virus (XMRV) have been identified and implicated in the pathogenesis of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) and familial form of prostate cancer, respectively.Methods:We examined 204 samples from 58 different cases of breast cancer for presence of MCV or XMRV by PCR. Samples consisted of both malignant and non-malignant tissues. Additionally, we included 6 cases of MCC and 12 cases of prostate cancer as potential controls for MCV and XMRV, respectively.Results:All of the breast cancer samples examined were negative for both MCV and XMRV. However, 4/6 MCC and 2/12 prostate cancer samples were found to be positive for MCV and XMRV, respectively. Sequence analysis of the amplified products confirmed that these sequences belonged to MCV and XMRV.Conclusion:We conclude that there is no evidence for the involvement of MCV or XMRV in the pathogenesis of breast cancer. What role these viruses have in the pathogenesis of MCC and prostate carcinomas remains to be demonstrated.
Definitely Robyn. It's very interesting they found XMRV in MCC and prostate cancer though. And it got published.

Things to think about
Before viewing
A fire plan describes what your family would do in case of a bushfire. What types of things do you think it would include?
As you view
In the clip, the narrator lists two basic options to follow if a bushfire strikes. What are they?
When a bushfire hit Toongabbie in 2006, the Macindoe family chose to stay and fight the fire. What three things did they do in preparation for the fire?
After viewing
Ask your parents about a fire plan.
To create a fire plan for your family, go to your state or territory fire service website and look at what to include in a fire plan. Then follow the instructions and work together to make a plan that suits your family.
Next steps
Make a list of some other natural disasters that may also require a safety plan. Research the ways these disasters could pose a threat, for instance a cyclone could cause building damage and flooding. Then create a plan to prepare for a disaster that could happen where you live.
NATHAN BAZLEY:Now back to Australia, and this week is the beginning of summer. For many Australians, that means time to start preparing for possible bushfires. Experts say it's vital that every family has a fire plan and kids are a really important part of that. One of our Victorian journos, Nick, has been meeting some kids who helped save their homes two years ago.WOMAN:There's fires all around us. Just totally surrounded by black. And it's just horrific, absolutely horrific.NICK:In December 2006, the small town of Toongabbie was threatened by bushfire. One man died and many houses were lost.WOMAN:When we got here the whole house was engulfed in flames and the paddock was on fire, so we went and started putting it out.NICK:Toongabbie is in Gippsland in Victoria and it was one of many towns that were hit as fires burned across the state that summer. Each year, there are hundreds of bushfires across the country. They can be very dangerous. Bushfires can be scary stuff, and it's important for families to have a plan about what they'll do if a fire strikes. Now there's two basic options - you can either evacuate early or you can stay and fight the fire. And that really means defending your home because it would be impossible to stop a whole bushfire. The main thing is to be prepared and stick to your plan. In 2006, the MacIndoe family chose to stay and take on the fire. They had been to information meetings and had worked out a fire safety plan. They installed sprinklers on the roof, removed all outside furniture and bought some very fashionable clothing. Once the fire front hit, Connor, who was 13 at the time, and Devon, who was 9, patrolled the house.CONNOR MACINDOE:Well, firstly, we went and got some wet cloths. And we went and stuck them under the gap in the door to stop the embers from getting in.DEVON MACINDOE:Outside it was really dark and all you could see if you opened the blinds, all you could see was some black sticks and just orange everywhere.NICK:Eventually the fire passed over their house and the Macindoes no longer recognised their own front yard.CONNOR MACINDOE:Everything was still burning. The fort and the sandpit and the trampoline was all melted.DEVON MACINDOE:We found this after the fire. It was in the orchard on the fruit tree, because it was to scare away the birds. and it's all singed.NICK:The MacIndoes fire plan went smoothly and their house was saved. But five minutes down the road, the Savige family had a much closer call. Like the MacIndoes, Laura and Courtney had spent much of their summer collecting dead leaves and branches off the ground.LAURA SAVIGE:The fire came from, it actually came from behind, and came towards us like that. And it was the first to hit this. So if we could get rid of any of that sort of dry matter, that would stop it burning any further.NICK:The girls were at home alone when they first saw the smoke. They called their parents and began their fire plan.COURTNEY SAVIGE:Laura and I just got into action. We filled the bath up.LAURA SAVIGE:So there was baths, buckets, water troughs, anything we could find.COURTNEY SAVIGE:It was the worst feeling. Like butterflies, but 50 times worse. (Laughs)NICK:When the fire hit, the girls and their parents took refuge.LAURA SAVIGE:It was terrifying, just listening, as well, hearing what was happening, like the explosions.NICK:But despite the nerves and some scary moments, their home survived. Since then, the hills around Toongabbie have regrown, and the threat of bushfires is again on everyone's minds. But both the MacIndoe and the Savige families say they're not concerned. They were OK in 2006 because they were prepared and worked as a team. And this year both families are getting organised again.LAURA SAVIGE:Young people are just as good as the old people. I think it even rattled the older people. My dad was pretty scared, I reckon, wasn't he? (Laughs) If you're determined and know what to do, the job at hand, if you're well prepared, and, parents, inform your kids of what to do, you can do it.

Political Bloggers May Be Forced to Register
Re:We just want to see zee papers (658 comments)
Maybe you don't remember that far back, but the DC Sniper story was front page news for weeks. Inability of police to catch the criminals, fear among the general public of that region, and worry about when they would strike next. Not a good thing at all, but I only list it as an example of what havoc an armed person can create. Your original posted intoned that armed people couldn't stand up to our government. I am just thinking of the reaction to 30 million armed people standing up to our government instead of just 2 nutjobs.
You are right, it is not very likely to happen. We have seen our rights slowly trampled on for quite a few years now and nobody really takes offense at it anymore. I doubt Bush was the first President to spy on us, just the most open and obvious about doing it. And it would take something insane to get armed citizens to stand up to the government. I hope nothing like that ever occurs, but if it did, it most likely would only occur after most of the guns had been removed from individual ownership.
On Iraq, you kind went astray from the whole issue there - I merely pointed out that the same AK-47 you characterized as ineffective, is the small arm of choice of the insurgents in Iraq. If such a small country with a limited number of insurgents and weapons causes the problems for our army that it does, wouldn't a country of our size be able to resist an army at least as well?

Around half of all Americans dealt with some kind of major stressful event last year. And about half of all of those Americans cited health problems as the cause of their stress. Thirteen percent admitted their stressors were work-related, and another nine listed random "life changes." But, the silver lining is that seventy percent of respondents who reported major stresses said that the stress ended up having a positive effect on some parts of their lives. [Huffington Post]

I want to build a 3-tier 10 gallon system CHEAPLY ($200.00 or less!) for doing 10G AG batches over the winter. Does anyone have any links to threads, websites, suggestions for parts, assembly etc... Much appreciated.
I built my 3 tier system about 6 months ago, and did it for pretty close to $200. Here are most of the parts I used. angle iron and bolts to build the frame: ~$100 2 kegs(1 was mine, another donated from a friend): free 10 gallon igloo water cooler: $40 from home depot 2 propane burners from the side of bbq's: one free from uncle's old bbq, another for $10 off of craigslist propane tank came with the craiglist bbq, and some hose clamps and tubing are cheap to connect brass nipples, shutoff valves, and through hull fittings: ~$70 at west marine I think that is all the major parts that i needed, hopefully that helps some.
It gives me hope! I guess the biggest part is obtaining the kegs. My uncle just GAVE a keg to the beer place that he had for 5 years! He got a measly $10.00 for it NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I live in NY and our total keg deposit is $75.00 NYS + 10.00 KEG, so its not economical to "not return them".
For the kegs you can try scrap metal places. yeah they might be stolen, but i just assume that most kegs are stolen at some time, and don't worry about it.
-------------------------------------------------------- On Draft: Old, Stale, Oxidized beer Holding tanks:Sold Conical #1:Sold Bottles: Nichts On Deck:
I am always eager to show off my stand. All told I have about 300 invested in it, but if you can find scrap metal (bed frames, etc.) the cost will go down significantly. Here is the build thread.
$200 seems really tight, unless you have people who will weld for free and can find really cheap kegs and burners and valves. Go to the scrap yards. They can be gold minds!

The recent hike in power tariffs announced by the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission has hit the average consumer the hardest.
To understand the impact that the tariff hike will have on the aam aadmi, here is an illustration.
A consumer who uses a modest 250 units of power, which means a cooler for six hours, apart from a few light bulbs, fans, electric iron, television, motor pump and a refrigerator every day will see a whopping 53 per cent jump in the monthly power bill from July 1.
On the other hand a consumer who uses an air-conditioner, computer, washing machine, microwave in addition to the appliances mentioned above and takes their consumption to more than 600 units a month will see the monthly bill increase by a mere 28 per cent.
"A consumer who used 600 units a month before the tariff hike would pay Rs.2,275 as monthly energy charges and after July 1 will pay Rs.3,564, which is a hike of just 28 per cent. It is farcical that consumers who use more power and can pay have not been taxed as hard as the middle class who are already reeling under the impact of price rise," said an expert in the power sector.
After the DERC decided to restructure the existing slabs and did away with the slab of 200-400 units, the increase in power tariff in what is now the second slab 0-400 units has been about 33 per cent.
"The bulk of the domestic consumers use between 250 to 450 units of power. And these are not the ones using multiple air conditioners and other energy guzzling appliances, these are the people who have one AC or a couple of coolers to beat the heat. By increasing their tariff the DERC has ended up increasing their financial liabilities," the expert said.
"The Government talks of rationalising energy usage, they want consumers to conserve energy and how do they propose to do that, by forcing the poor to switch off. Just how many people can keep their consumption under 200 units?" questioned the expert.
"The DERC should have narrowed down the difference in energy prices between the 0-200 and 0-400 slabs. The difference of Rs.1.10 per unit widens the gap considerably. Ideally, the percentage hike should not be high in the lower slabs, because it doesn't help the consumers, nor does it help with energy conservation," the expert said.
Criticising the Commission, BJP's Sanjay Kaul said: "Using a fridge or a cooler is not fashionable; it is a necessity, given the changes in climate. The way temperatures are going up in summers, even those in the economically-lower brackets need coolers. The hike has had an exponential impact on the poor and the middle class."

Applicants asked to submit relevant information within a week
The process of Layout Regularisation Scheme for regularising the plots in unauthorised layouts ends by September 30.
VUDA Vice-Chairman Kona Sasidhar has advised the applicants to answer the queries raised by VUDA and submit the relevant information and documents within a week, enabling it to process the applications paving way for approval.
As the process of LRS is coming to a close by this month-end, VUDA will not continue the verifications or field inspections beyond September 30.
VUDA has been issuing LRS approvals for applicants in the jurisdiction of Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region (VMR) since 2008. It had received about 16,600 LRS applications and issued 600 approvals till April 2011.
Soon after Mr. Saisdhar assumed charge, a separate mechanism and action plan was worked out and implemented on a war-footing resulting in 6,000 approvals.

A Wheely Good Ride…
Since returning from Canada and the World Champs Mountain Bike experience the Potters have been busy as ever on the AQR guiding front. Ian is starting to feel the effects from not only guiding full time this year and taking up more of the work load during the months I was ill, but now lo and behold his darling Mrs (that be me), is still finding more energy on a daily basis (hee hee hee….my energetic evil laugh has returned)….this is not doing Mr P any favours whatsoever (even I admit that :))!
It's hard to explain, but all of a sudden I'm trying to make the most of every minute outdoors and even guiding full time is not wearing me down. The last three weeks we have guided every day, with one day off which is supposed to be our recovery day (I now spit on that word!)………….BUT my brain is awake at 5am and I'm falling back into my old, or rather youthful self ways when I used to love nothing more than waking up early by Mr Potter's clock (that be 5:10am), then heading outside to smell the fresh, but rather chilly mountain air, before running around the Luchon block a couple of times just as the sun starts creeping over the mountainside….this is followed by 1hr session of yoga or pilates, before Ian and I ride 3km to the hotel to meet the lucky guests who we will be guiding that day…all day (yippees all round!!!).
Ian has been using me as his hill climbing marker these past few weeks, because he is a bit over climbing hills at the moment (end of summer season blues and over used legs). So along the way I have set myself these little, rather silly challenges, but what the heck….where I try and use big ring or really tough middle ring gears on the steepest climbs out here in Luchon, just to see whether my brain or legs will outdo the other first. Then as we hit our favourite descents my focus has been on surfing the trail and seeing what happens if I use my front brake really hard when riding into a switchback…..let's just say practice makes perfect and kissing dirt has motivated me to keep trying to make the smallest attempt at riding switchbacks on my front wheel like Mr P, although leaving me with a permanent dirty smile on my face.
I have discovered something about myself recently…. I'm not too bothered about winning races anymore and feel more challenged by personal physical or technical failure on the bike than success (HUH?). Probably not the best mental attitude to have as a racer, but I love being told I can't do something or rather – making mistakes and not clearing a trail up or down. I thrive on the frustration of failure….because it feels so good when you work hard and prove to yourself you can do it. But then I get bored of that feeling of achievement only seconds after success and need a new challenge to fail at so I can work at defeating it. I love that feeling of work in progress…..rather than success, don't ask me why, as Mr Potter gave up on my brain years ago.
In the last few weeks I have been able to tick off a few failures that have been motivating me recently out here in Luchon, one of them being clearing AQR's famous climbing challenge 'THE CRUCIFIX CLIMB' in middle ring. We have many guests who join us every year with the hope that they will clear it before returning home. Once I cleared it I think Ian was more excited than his Mrs, because only two other people have ever cleared it in middle ring in 6 years (that be Ian and friend/elite Aussie racer Andy Blair) and only two guests this year have cleared it at all. But suddenly the climb didn't excite me anymore because my brain wanted a new challenge. So we headed to AQR's 'WALL OF DEATH', which I have only ridden in one direction before (the easiest direction). The challenge was to ride it in the opposite direction….'ooohhh'….the nerves were there in abundance…..'GO POTTER GO!
But then I cleared it without even a first attempt dab or even fall off the side as I had prepared myself for. I felt really deflated because I had built this technical challenge into something I thought would take me a while to get my head around. I wasn't enjoying this new found feeling of confidence, but actually sulking that I cleared it so easily.
OK for those of you in the AQR know, I do realise I could go all out and ride with Ian, Russ and Boris on their free ride bikes with local friend Valentin who is a down-hill nutter and who only rides seriously steep trails, actually they aren't trails at all, but virtually sheer mountain sides with the odd deer track thrown in for short moments of controlled fear before heart pounding scary fun….. Every time Ian returns from an off piste day out with the boys he has either broken something on his bike or his ribs….as the lads are on such steep terrain that they use the trees to stop themselves from falling too far on when riding goes a bit pear shaped (gulp). So for me that challenge is just asking for a death wish on my 100mm little Soda with the carbon fibre seat tube Cy gave to me as a present two years ago (as it is the only one ever made and I shall never part with her as she has been so good to me…thanks Cy), but I can't lower the saddle…..so that biking challenge with the boys is one for the future when Cy designs a super duper slack Cotic Soda that has a built in parachute and safety net as falling is all part of the Luchon boy's biking fun .
So this week Ian decided he would help me work on a failure that I have ignored recently…..I STILL CANNOT HOLD A DARN WHEELY!!!!!
Ian and I had a week off from guiding this week and so instead of climbing and descending trails as part of my daily workout, Ian decided to test me on my lack of urban biking skill….which included riding on my back wheel. So the baggy shorts came on and I was transported back in time as Ian and I went street riding like Ian used to do back in the day.
Mr Potter kept testing me and testing me on whatever obstacles he could find in our little village, before moving into the town centre of Luchon and then on to a park full of obstacles for me to bruise myself on….but I was loving it!
Ian had me riding up and down steps, cement skinny walls and even bunny hopping side to side over a curb. The back of my shoulders were in bits after an hour worth of manual practice….'push down, spring back, push legs forward, shoulders back, SHOULDERS BACK! BUTT IN! DON'T LOOK DOWN!! LOOK UP!!! ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!!!……What do you call that!?!?'
'SHOULDER ACHE…..OWWWWWWWWWWW…..who needs a gym, just practice manuals!'
Then it was time to wheely up and onto a park bench…YOU WHAT?!?!?
Only Ian forgot to remind me that one needs to use their brakes once the wheel hits the bench….so to the delight of a small Luchon audience…..up and over I flipped with bike still between the legs. WOW!!!! No harm done, but I was having the best fun. As soon as I discovered I wouldn't hurt myself on grass I suddenly had more faith in my wheely lift.
So I went for it as Ian shouted out 'push crank down hard'. Woaahhhhhhh, I was in the air and….1 pedal,2pedal,3pedal,4pedal,5pedal…..down and out! DOH! BUT I WAS FULL OF YIPPEES!!!!! Not quite a proper held wheely, but I managed 5 pedal strokes in total. I now have an overwhelming desire to wheely and will be practising on a daily basis….hence the power of FAILURE….in my brain that word does not have a negative overtone to it, but rather a powerful tool that motivates me like you would not believe. FAILURE if used in the right context can be the kick in the backside one needs to make improvements in all cycles of life.
Now thanks to Tom from Single Track I'm starting to get to grips with technology and hopefully I have embeded a video this time. Another thankyou to AQR's Russ from Le Lutin here in Luchon who has put together a great clip to show you some of the trails the boys have been creating this summer…make sure you watch it until the end to see how not to jump an electric fence….
