Windows 8 Developer Preview Now Available for Download, but can I run it in VMware Workstation 7.1.4 or ESXi 5.0?
Tuesday Sept 13 8:20pm eastern time, while attending a Microsoft virtualization user group, I spotted this article on lifehacker.com, announcing the Windows 8 Developer Preview download availability. This was earlier than the 11pm eastern time the blogs were predicting. So, I remotely kicked off the download at around 8:30pm eastern time, and it took until about 10:30pm to finish. 2 hours, not bad. Next, had to give the version of VMware Workstation, 7.1.4-build-385536 a try, since it's the latest version and already installed on my laptop.
[learn_more caption="Spoiler Alert: Click here to jump right to the answers!"] "Windows 8 Developer Preview Now Available for Download, but can I run it in VMware Workstation 7.1.4 or ESXi 5.0?"
Well, it's complicated, short answer is No and No. But there's some good news too.
No, 7.1.4 can't run it, but 8.0 can! Download 8.0 here: http://tinkertry.com/vmwareworkstation8purchase
Workstation 8.0 tools install fine, and the default install also installs free VMware Player 4.0, which isn't currently available as a separate free download. But, more good news, Player does run Windows 8 fine as well (screenshots below), not sure what happens after 30 day trial of Workstation ends.
As far as ESXi 5.0:
Maybe has now become a No!
Sep 16 2011 10:00am: Newsflash, virtuallyghetto author updated his site stating ESXi doesn't work with Windows 8 after all!)
ESXi 5.0 can run Windows 8, but with tweaks documented here (I still haven't gotten this to work, neither have the commenters at the site):http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2011/09/how-to-run-windows-8-on-vsphere-5.html
tinkererguy: still nobody getting ESXi5 to run Windows 8 yet, discussed here at VMware forums. I tried a bunch of stuff too (new Standalone VMware Converter 5.0 that comes bundled with VMware Workstation 8.0 to ESXi, same issues, powers off shortly after boot attempt) see also the entire timeline below, and jump ahead to the bottom to see just the latest updates
Unfortunately you get the nasty error (see screenshot above) when trying to boot a VM configured for Windows 7 64 bit, using the 64 bit WindowsDeveloperPreview-64bit-English.iso file (see screenshot graphic above). Here's a cut and paste of the text, where it says:
*** VMware Workstation internal monitor error *** vcpu-0:NOT_IMPLEMENTED vmcore/vmm/intr/apic.c:1903 Please report this problem by selecting menu item Help > VMware on the Web > Request Support, or by going to the Web page <super long URL shortened to http://vmware.com/info>. Please provide us with the log file (D:\VMs\Windows 8 x64\vmware.log) and the core file(s) (D:\VMs\Windows 8 x64\vmware-core.gz, D:\VMs\Windows 8 x64\vmware64-core.gz, D:\VMs\Windows 8 x64\vmware-vmx-792.dmp). If the problem is repeatable, please select 'Run with debugging information' in the Options panel of Virtual Machine Settings. Then reproduce the incident and file it according to the instructions. To collect data to submit to VMware support, select Help > About and click "Collect Support Data". You can also run the "vm-support" script in the Workstation folder directly. We will respond on the basis of your support entitlement. We appreciate your feedback, — the VMware Workstation team.
Only one hit on Google currently, 11:30pm, looking for: vcpu-0:NOT_IMPLEMENTED over here. Next, looking at Google hits for the past 24 hours, only 2 results so far, with no answers yet, seen here. Will next need to try this Windows 8 out on ESX 5.0 and/or Hyper-V, and see how that goes…sure wishing I had the beta of VMware Workstation 8.0 installed about now though, public sign-up found here
Sep 14 2011 12:20am: ESXi 5.0.0 469512 intial test results No success to report. Upon pressing "Play" in the console to start the boot from the ISO, I get "Loading files…" for a second, then "Windows Developer Preview" on a black background for a few seconds, then the VM turns right back off a few seconds later (see screenshots below). I get this nasty behavior even after changing the initial Windows 7 x64 settings over to the new Windows 8 x64 settings. I'll need to next make sure my ISO isn't corrupt by installing on a physical machine, but I doubt is, as others reporting the same issue in Disqus comments below. But meanwhile, I'll just ask, any ideas on other tweaks to try, anybody?
Sep 14 2011 12:43am: Downloading the 32 bit version now, regretting not kicking off that download earlier tonight, saying it'll take about an hour for that 2.8GB WindowsDeveloperPreview-32bit-English.iso Will see if I have any better luck with that version in VMware Workstation and ESXi 5.0 (and note, if you're a VirtualBox fan, it's known to work fine there, read details here). This feels very much like the tweaking I used to have to do to get ESX running inside VMware Workstation years ago: once folks tweaked the ".vmx" file enough, we got it working, unsupported of course. But this time, not seeing anybody else with answers or insight into these particular behaviors quite yet. And this is whole different animal, of course. I'm also noticing nearly realtime conversation with the folks commenting below (Disqus comments system), my most active night ever, by far (hundreds per hour). So I'm beginning to rethink my taking down my prototype IP.Board forum page with its chat function. Or maybe we go with Google Plus Hangouts? Or something like it, for just such occasions as this. Would folks be interested? Please use Disqus to comment below to speak your mind!
Sep 14 2011 01:37am: VMware Workstation results testing with Windows 8 x86 Using the WindowsDeveloperPreview-32bit-English.iso version, I get this, dare I say, cute error? I may need to call it a night soon, but I'd say the frowny face emoticon kind of captures exactly how I feel at the moment. I don't accept defeat gladly. Luckily, I'm not alone. Perhaps somebody knows the answer already, but is too busy playing with Windows 8 to tell the rest of us exactly how to get it working…
Sep 14 2011 02:00am: Virtual PC results testing with Windows 8 x86 Using the same WindowsDeveloperPreview-32bit-English.iso with Virtual PC (XP Compatibility Mode) resulted in the same happy blue screen.
Sep 14 2011 05:50am: Totally different, somewhat convoluted method may work? I basically installed Windows 8 Developer Preview on a ThinkPad, installed the vSphere 5.0 Converter on that ThinkPad, then cranked through the wizard to output a Workstation 7.0 compatible image to local SSD drive (so it finished fast). I then copied those files to my VMware Workstation laptop local hard drive, and of course, it fails, same "vcpu-0:NOT_IMPLEMENTED" error. So now I'm thinking, what if I crank out another conversion, which goes very fast since it's SSD cloned over gigabit to a RAID0. But this time, I'll try a VMware Workstation 8 compatible image. I realize it'll puke when powering up on VMware Workstation 7.1.4, but I already found a simple workaround for that last week, explained here (with screenshot): http://tinkertry.com/converterstandalone5vmwithworkstation7 Trying that out now, not holding out too much hope, we'll know the result soon. Even if I just get a different error than all the other tests above, I'll have learned something. And since this VMware Converter 5 was meant to be used with the very recently released vSphere 5 and/or Workstation 8, it seemed like a decent idea to give this physical to virtual idea a shot, especially if it works. I can then learn from the working .vmx file it produces, and maybe even figure out how to install a VM from scratch (without having to install Windows 8 on a physical machine first).
Sep 14 2011 07:21am: It still doesn't work, on VMware Workstation So, changing over to creating a Workstation 8 image from the converter, then tweaking the vmx file by changing from virtualHW.version = "8" to virtualHW.version = "7" did not work, same showstopper "vcpu-0:NOT_IMPLEMENTED error" problem. Now that reports are in that Windows 8 Developer Preview works fine on VMware Workstation 8.0 beta, so it's time to call it quits, for now. But I do still want to try Converter 5.0 to ESXi 5.0 at some point, from the physical ThinkPad running Windows 8 seen here: http://tinkertry.com/windows8onw520
Sep 14 2011 09:46am: It still doesn't work, on ESXi 5.0 using Converter 5.0 and Windows 8 x64 VM setting Conversion completes without incident, but then the VM dies (powers off) shortly afterpowering on, sigh. Subsequent boot attempts yield this result, see screenshot.
Sep 14 2011 01:04pm: Whoomp! (there it is):
VMware Workstation 8.0 available for purchase/download/trial, just visit:
Sep 14 2011 02:57pm: Doing much better installing Windows 8 Developer Preview with VMware Workstation 8.0, as others have reported, but not done yet…
Sep 14 2011 03:30pm: There it is, the tweak that should get Windows 8 working in ESXi 5.0 as well, way to go, whoever you really are, seriously, great find, thank you for sharing! So you can run Windows 8 on VMware Workstation 8 (and maybe ESXi 5.0), that appears to be our group conclusion, finishing up first hand tests now. Here's here's post, it's the critical missing link we ESXi 5.0 users were hoping for!
Here <email@example.com> (unregistered) wrote, in response to Avalon111 (unregistered):
Take a look at his:
Sep 16 2011 05:57pm: Sweet sweet walk-thrus:
If you've read this far through this blog, I suspect you're pretty good at handling yourself with VMware Workstation/VMware Player. However, I've found two particularly detailed walk-thrus for installing Windows 8 Developer Preview on VMware Workstation that you may also enjoy. Have a great weekend!
You can try everything else without the VMtools (internet works) but it won't run as quick or smooth as you'd like.
Sep 16 2011 06:19pm: For those also interested in dual booting, here's an approach (that I haven't tested yet):
ESXi host runs a VM that is running Windows 7 with VMware Workstation 8.0 installed that runs a VM with Windows 8 Developer Preview
Sep 19 2011 10:53am: For those looking for what VMware currently has to say about this:
Today, I've noticed that VMware has perhaps pulled down the kb article, as of 10:47 am eastern on 9/19, this site is gone:
However, searches for that kb still work and show the title of the result:
so, here's the cached version, where you'll basically read that VMware knows the problem and they are working on it:
but since the actual page is gone, no way to subscribe to notifications when VMware has fixed this that I can find.
Sep 19 2011 11:02am: Here's the replacement site, one you can RSS subscribe to for updates/notification:
Nov 04 2011 06:08pm: Still no answers from VMware about Windows 8 Developer Preview
But note that VMware Player 4.0 still runs fine, even though the VMware Workstation 8.0 it came bundled with has run its trial out
You can also download just VMware Player 4.0 now on its own from here

In Response To: Combination of rice flour and tapioca starch (Sylvia)
Quinoa is very high in protein, the highest ofall grains; also it is low on the glycemic index,meaning it will satisfy your appetite for a longperiod of time. You can cook it by bringing itto a boil, the way you would with rice, but thendecrease the temperature to low, and cook for15 minutes (low boil). and season with sun-driedtomatoes and salt or tomato pesto or driedtomatoes in jar with olive oil.

All anti-Spurs diatribe for the city of San Antonio aside, wouldn't a trip straight down I-35 to play in the Alamodome against a Big 12 team be a better bowl destination than an expensive trip to San Diego two days before Christmas or a trek to blustery Boise, Idaho- both of which would pit the Frogs against a WAC team?
I had a longer, more anger-filled post in the works about how shitty the MWC's bowl arrangement is currently, but then I saw the news today that the Alamo Bowl is looking to possibly replace the Big Ten in it's alignment.
If MWC Commissioner Craig Thompson isn't busting these people's door down first thing tomorrow morning, he needs to be fired. I've got to applaud his aggressiveness in attempting to get the MWC into the BCS, but he also needs to realize that outside of Utah getting into the Sugar Bowl and the conference getting lucky to pit an undefeated Boise State agains the Frogs, our bowl matchups and destinations were absolutely embarrassing. The Alamo Bowl would be a perfect fit for our conference champion if they didn't get a BCS berth, and for our second place team when if they did (which they should more years than not).

TCU vs UVA
According to our lovely ticker we are now only 74 days away from Frog football. While that seems like a long time it is never too early to start planning the fall. The TCU DC metro area alumni association has organized a bus trip for the UVA game to start the season. I know I have talked to a number of you about this, but it is now officially set.
Charlottesville is just a couple hours from DC and DC is far more accessible by plane. It also makes for a nice excuse to visit the nation's Capital. The bus trip is limited to 65 people so the higher percentage of them we can make spit blooders the better.
To sign up for the trip click here
It should be a great time, and if I can help anyone out with where to stay, what airport to fly into etc etc just let me know.
Date: Saturday, September 12
Bus pickup – 10:00 a.m.
Kickoff – 3:30 p.m.
Bus pickup – 4238 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22203
One block from the Ballston Metro Station (Orange Line)
Pre-Game Lunch – UVA Campus
Cost: $100 per person (includes a round-trip bus ride, pre-game lunch, and a game ticket)
RSVP: Please register by clicking on the "Registration" button above by Friday, August 7. Limited to the first 65 persons who register.
Join other DC area Horned Frogs and take a bus trip to Charlottesville, VA. Once on campus, enjoy a pre-game lunch with TCU fans from around the country. Finally, cheer the Horned Frogs on to victory and then load a bus back to the city. It's a no hassle day for you and your guests!

When a family member dies, it can be one of the most difficult times a person can go through. I found out first hand, just how tough it is when my father passed away at the end of last month. Everyone has their own way of grieving, their own way of finding comfort when you loose someone close to you such as a husband, a father or a child.
With the advancements in technology and communication, each and every passing day provides us with new ways to connect with others who can share share of grief, or help us deal with it in ways we never had before. As painful as it can be, even dealing with death, a person can find help and kind voices online in the form of social communities.
When dealing with all the details of taking care of my father's service and helping my mom get through all this, I was struck by something, something so simple, yet I found it quite comforting. I'm not the type to read the obituaries first when I go to the online paper, I always sort of chuckled when people who are my parents' age habitually went to read the obituaries first. But here I was finding comfort in an online obituary for my father, and in the notes of love, comfort and respect that were left for my mother, my sister and I. Family, friends from very far away, and friends of ours who never even met my father but knew my sister or me left beautiful words of comfort.
This weekend reflecting on this got me curious what else was there out there. I knew about Respectance, I wrote up a piece about it about a year ago, but was there more? I wanted to find out what else there was and did a little digging. From online memorials, to communities that help members deal with death, there's quite a lot out there.
Online Memorial Sites:
Legacy mainly provides the online obituary systems to local
newspapers. This is what the local paper uses that printed my father's
obitiuary. Legacy also offers on it's own site a place for individuals
to create memorial websites, leave messages of comfort, and to connect
with others in their community to deal with the grief that comes when
someone dies.
As a
member of Respectance, you can contribute to "memorials" that are
already existing. They seemed to have changed things - their focus a
year ago was heavily on celebrities, Steve Irwin was prominently placed
there last year, but now it's highly focused around Respectance members
and their memorial pages.
Memorials has become a place where thousands of lives are
celebrated, documented and shared. It has become a place that aims to
provide comfort during the difficult times of grief. They've been
around quite a while, but not as "community" focused as Respectance
is. Members can build online memorials for loved ones who have passed
Like those
listed above, Memory-Of is an online memorial site. This site also has
forums for members to discuss their dealings with death and grief.
Along with a forum, the site offers a "Library" of suggested readings,
as well as a way for people to buy gifts of thought and comfort for
those grieving and dealing with the death of a loved one.
those who consider them by faith, Christians, this online memorial site
is also a social community like Respectance. People can "friend" a
memorial along with leaving messages of condolence. This community
also allows the people who creat the memories to keep sort of a
"journal" as well.
This site is mostly for online commemoration of lost loved ones.
Memorials include adding photos, video, audio and life stories. The
site itself also has a blog
which highlights ways of dealing with death, and things to prepare
for. One nice thing about this site, the owners donate 10% of their
income from the site to palliative and hospice care.
If you think online memorials are limited to just people, think again. People also memorialize their pets online, too. Althought not quite as "social" as the people memorial online sites, most of these sites allow the owners of their departed pets to choose their own templates, sign guestbooks, add photos and information about the animal. Some of these online pet memorial sites also have forums, which does add one more "social aspect".
- I Loved My Pet
- Online Pet Memorials by Youns
- Immortal Pets
- Critter.com (run by Virtual-Memorials.com)
Thank you, to everyone who sent emails, cards and the beautiful thoughts to my family and myself. You all truly touched my heart and helped me get through one of the toughest times I've had to deal with.

How to Add Alpha Using Tactical ETFs
NEW YORK ( FMD Capital Management) -- Constructing a well-balanced portfolio takes time, tools and discipline in order to implement a plan that will meet your goals. My preferred investment vehicle to construct a diversified portfolio is the exchange-traded fund. I love ETFs because they are low cost, transparent, liquid and easy to trade. They allow you the ability to set automatic stop losses as a function of managing risk and have greater flexibility than a traditional mutual fund.
As I wrote several months ago, the first step in this process is selecting core holdings that will be the foundation from which you can ultimately expand. These core positions will give you broad-based exposure and directional bias in the market to keep pace with rising stock prices. However, a core position will take you only so far. Ultimately, getting exposure to specific sectors or tactical trading ideas will shape your portfolio to your specific investment preference.
Tactical positions represent a sector, industry group or special situation that you want to take advantage of. These positions often start out as short-term trades then turn into long-term investment themes. They give you a measure of overweight exposure to a certain area of the market that you feel is offering excellent potential for capital appreciation.
I typically recommend allocating anywhere between 20% and 30% of your portfolio toward tactical ETF opportunities and keeping a measure of cash on hand for new themes that may present themselves. That way you can actively shift your holdings to take advantage of new trends or capitalize on an innovative strategy when the timing is right. In addition, I always recommend pairing new trades with a sell discipline to guard against the potential of a reversal.
Now let's take a look at some of the different types of tactical ETF opportunities: Sectors One of the easiest ways to add instant tactical exposure to your portfolio is to select a sector fund. By owning an ETF that invests only in technology or health care stocks you can get pinpoint exposure to a group of companies that are in a similar economic segment. I recently profiled how Fidelity launched 10 sector ETFs which are the cheapest in the industry when compared to larger and more well-established competitors.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Among other detrimental effects of the heavy metal Cd2+, a decrease in the plant content of essential mineral nutrients is known. In this study, the effect of Cd2+ on different physiological activities of rice roots involved in nutrient acquisition has been studied. Upon addition of 0.1 or 1 mM Cd2+ to the experimental solution, root cell membranes depolarized in few minutes, reaching very low Em values. This effect was transient and the initial membrane potential recovered totally within 6–8 h. Only the highest concentration used had an inhibitory effect on root respiration. Significant respiratory inhibition appeared after 2 h of exposure to Cd2+ and lasted for at least 4 h. In turn, membrane permeability increased in the presence of Cd2+ for at least 8 h, inducing K+ efflux from the roots. The relationship between these parameters and their possible involvement in lowered nutrient content in Cd2+-treated plants is discussed.

Boston University School of Management 3rd in US on List of "Green" MBA Programs
SMG ranked 11th in the world by Corporate Knights
Boston University School of Management's MBA program placed 3rd among U.S. universities on the Corporate Knights Global Green MBA survey, which examines how universities around the world are faring at integrating sustainability into the academic experience. The School ranked 11th globally.
The Toronto-based business magazine, which focuses on clean capitalism, created the survey in 2003, concentrating solely on Canadian schools for the past decade. This year, the survey was expanded internationally to include MBA programs from 17 countries. Participating schools were assessed on institutional support, student initiatives, and coursework.
The School's MBA program has incorporated various courses in its curriculum that emphasize sustainability, such as PL849: Global Sustainability, PL870: Government, Society and Sustainable Development, and SI841: Strategies for Environmental Sustainability.
Corporate Knights' results also come only months after an MBA team from the School won first place in the P&G Sustainability Challenge, which required eight multidisciplinary teams from across the University to create and present ideas to a panel of managers from P&G, Gillette, Veolia, and NSTAR that might aid P&G in their efforts to increase their renewable energy consumption at the South Boston Gillette site.
The survey's findings are indicative of the School's dedication to implementing environmental responsibility and sustainability in all aspects of its educational process.

BU Named One of Most Environmentally Responsible Colleges by Princeton Review
Guide to 322 Green Colleges praises sustainability office, student organizations, and sustainability-related courses
Excerpts from Bostonia:
Boston University is one of the most environmentally responsible colleges in the United States and Canada, according to the new edition of The Princeton Review's Guide to 322 Green Colleges.
"In a few short years Boston University has made significant strides toward a sustainable future," the authors write in the guide. "With its sustainability committee, four working groups, sustainability office, a one million dollar revolving fund, departments, student organizations, and nearly 400 courses related to sustainability, the university has developed an impressive sustainability program by any measure."
The Princeton Review took note of BU's green buildings and transportation and also drew attention to its retrofitting of existing buildings for energy efficiency through equipment, lighting and energy management systems, and window replacement projects.
In its section on Boston University, The Princeton Review wrote, "In 2011, BU became a member of the Founding Circle of the 'Billion Dollar Green Challenge.' Buildings currently under construction will seek LEED certification or better, and there are already two LEED-certified buildings on campus. BU has increased its waste-diversion rate from four percent to 31 percent. Ninety-two percent of students arrive to campus by alternative means. The main campus is organized along one of Boston's main thoroughfares, with nine subway stops, thirteen intercity bus lines, the BU Bus, and three other shuttle services serving the campuses. BU has an active ride share program and boasts the first bike lanes in Boston's growing network, which now incorporates more than 100 miles of city streets and parks.
"Other highlights include an award-winning website to engage the university community with a monthly sustainability challenge. To keep up the green pace, there are seventeen sustainable student organizations on campus, from BU Bikes to USGBC Students. BU's green initiatives even extend to the university's myriad dining halls. Efforts include 91 percent of the facilities running pre-consumer composting programs, sourcing cage-free eggs, and donating leftover baked goods to local meal programs, food pantries, and shelters."
"Colleges train the next generation of leaders who will ultimately be responsible for putting green ideas into practice," the authors note. "By infusing sustainability principles into every aspect of higher education, there is a new priority for a whole generation of leaders, educated and trained, to make a greener world now."

BU Team Soars at MIT Clean Energy Competition
Team Wins First Prize in Energy Efficiency Category
By Mark Dwortzan via BU College of Engineering
A College of Engineering and School of Management team took first prize in the energy efficiency category of the annual MIT Clean Energy Prize on May 6, one of six premiere regional clean energy student business plan competitions in the U.S.
A collaboration between students and faculty from ENG and SMG, the team, Aeolus Building Efficiency, won $20,000 for its business plan and presentation for a full-service company that utilizes software to optimize airflow and reduce energy consumption in large office heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) systems. The technology could be a game-changer for today's commercial buildings, which account for 18 percent of annual greenhouse gas emissions and 36 percent of national electric utility demand.
Consisting of ENG's senior Ryan Cruz, Associate Professor Michael Gevelber, and former Professor Donald Wroblewski from the Mechanical Engineering Department, and MBA candidates David Cushman, Jonathan Ellermann, and Benjamin Smith from SMG, Aeolus outperformed 15 other teams from nine states, including three semifinalists representing Harvard University, MIT, and the University of Chicago.
Aeolus drew on ENG members' expertise in building energy efficiency and HVAC systems optimization, and SMG members' business development, operations, project management and sustainability experience. The team's presentation impressed a panel of six judges from academia, government and industry who based their assessments on environmental benefit, creativity, execution and financial strategy, market and customer knowledge, and team strength.
Benjamin Smith (MBA'13) relished the opportunity to compete against outstanding teams and technologies from some of the nation's top academic institutions. "Not only were we able to develop a comprehensive and compelling business plan, but the competition gave us an opportunity to substantiate that plan with cleantech industry leaders," he observed. "It was an amazing experience."
Taking part in the competition reinforced Ryan Cruz's (ME'13) aspiration to pursue a career in the energy efficiency field. "I was able to learn more about the business side of engineering and aspects of building energy efficiency that I would not have normally been exposed to in the classroom," he said.
"It was a great learning experience for all the team members, and we're proud to get BU's name recognized at such a highly competitive event," said Gevelber (ME, MSE, SE). "We also had great mentoring from other BU faculty in both schools, and received support from BU's Office of Technology Development, Institute for Technology, Entrepreneurship and Commercialization (ITEC) and Sustainable Neighborhood Lab."
HVAC systems account for a large portion of energy use in mid- to large-sized buildings, and energy use and cost scales strongly with airflow. This is particularly true in older buildings designed when energy was much cheaper and HVAC systems were designed with high air flow rates. Based on concepts developed by Paul Gallagher (ME, MS'13) in his master's thesis, Aeolus aims to commercialize its software-based service that enables room-by-room measurement and optimization of airflow rates, thereby reducing energy consumption while maintaining thermal comfort and meeting ventilation requirements.
Invented by Gevelber, Wroblewski, and Gallagher and now being patented by BU, the breakthrough technology uses existing, computer-based building automation systems to reduce large building HVAC energy consumption by up to 20 percent without equipment installation, intensive manual labor or long payback periods.
"What's amazing about our approach is that the system would take the same time to work on a building the size of Sargent College as it would for the Prudential Center," Gevelber explained.
Formed in 2007 to help develop a new generation of energy entrepreneurs and companies and sponsored by NSTAR and the U.S. Department of Energy, the MIT Clean Energy Prize offers awards in three categories—renewable energy, infrastructure and resources, and energy efficiency. The competition's $20,000 Energy Efficiency Track Prize is sponsored by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, which seeks to accelerate the success of clean energy technologies, companies and projects in the Commonwealth while creating high-quality jobs and long-term economic growth for the people of Massachusetts.

MBA Team Wins First Place in P&G Sustainability Challenge
BU competition featured eight multidisciplinary teams of undergraduates and graduates; first place team will go on to present ideas to Gillette's top managers
By Gilberto Millares (IMBA'13) from the BU MBA Student Life blog
Some of Procter & Gamble's sustainability goals for the future include completely eliminating the waste they currently generate, using only renewable energy in all their facilities, and having environmentally-friendly products and packages. As you might guess, such endeavors present an extremely difficult challenge for a global company, so they are constantly looking for ways to make marginal or disruptive changes in their operations that allow them to be closer to achieving these goals. One of the ways they're doing this is by sponsoring the P&G Gillette Sustainability Challenge, which brings together multidisciplinary teams from different Boston University schools and colleges and challenges them to come up with ideas that might be applied in P&G operations.
On April 12, eight teams consisting of undergraduate and graduate students from programs including engineering, public policy, biomedical engineering, and management had the opportunity to showcase their findings to a group of managers from P&G Gillette, Veolia, and NSTAR. We presented different ideas that would allow P&G to increase their renewable energy consumption at the South Boston Gillette site by making a business case for each proposed project.
While the format differed a bit from the standard case competition, the results were just as meaningful. Rather than diving into the project for 48 hours, we were given two weeks to find different approaches to help them achieve their goals. And even though it might sound like more than sufficient lead time, we had to fit several seminars into our busy schedules to learn about energy projects throughout the country and the world, research technologies that are being implemented in the industry, and find ways to link business and engineering aspects for each submitted idea—no easy task!
Finally, after all the teams had presented their ideas, we had a small reception as the judges made the final decision. First place was awarded to a team consisting of MBA and IMBA students (pictured above), as well as LEAP, mechanical engineering, and public policy students, who will now have the opportunity to present their pitch to a group of Gillette's top managers. However, I think the most rewarding aspect of the competition was working with a truly diverse group of people that mimics the diversity and complexities of the business world.

Professor N. Kulatilaka: Turning Green into Green
The annual magazine Research at Boston University has profiled the pioneering work and social impact of the School of Management's Nalin Kulatilaka. In their feature "Considering Community," they write,
Perhaps it is no wonder that an electrical engineer who became a professor of finance would take an interest in how green buildings can provide monetary benefits for the people who have the resources to fund renewable energy projects….
That's part of the story of Nalin Kulatilaka, who teaches in the School of Management and is a codirector of the Clean Energy & Environmental Sustainability Initiative.
"My research is on sustainable energy investments," Kulatilaka says. "From renewable energy sources like solar and wind to energy conservation and energy efficiency investments like building retrofits."
The thrust of his work is to incentivize the up-front funding for green energy buildings from banks and other sources by writing a new kind of contract for the loans that fuel such changes. The contracts are intended to monetize the savings that green energy can achieve, so that the investors who put up the capital can capture some of the money saved as revenue from the project.
"We are now designing contracts where the building owner and tenant could share the savings."
Recently, Kulatilaka has worked on buildings owned by the Cambridge Housing Authority in Central Square. Some were heated entirely by electricity, some were particularly leaky, and all lacked the investment capital needed for retrofits.
"My contribution there, with Professor of Earth & Environment Robert Kaufmann and a team of students, was to first assess the opportunity; to try to quantify what the savings would be by using various statistical techniques that analyze the demand patterns of the building," he says.
"We are now designing contracts where the building owner and the tenant could share the savings. These would occur in such a way that funding could be attracted from conventional—or at least semi-conventional—sources like large banks."

K. Fabrizio's New Study Finds Regulatory Flip-Flops Undermine Clean Energy Investment
"The Impact of Regulatory Uncertainty on Renewable Energy Investments," forthcoming in the Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization
Policy uncertainty—whether concerning the impending "fiscal cliff" or potential carbon taxes—is blamed for reducing investment and restraining economic growth. Does the same logic apply to investment in renewable energy generation?
In a new study, Boston University School of Management's Kira Fabrizio finds that uncertainty about future regulatory policies does indeed negatively influence firms' investments in new clean energy assets. Fabrizio is an assistant professor in strategy & innovation, and her paper, "The Impact of Regulatory Uncertainty on Renewable Energy Investments," is forthcoming in the Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization.
Fabrizio's study focuses on the enactment of state-level Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) policies in the US electric utility industry. The policies are designed to encourage investment in renewable electricity generation by requiring utilities to procure a certain percentage of electricity from renewable generation. She finds that, on average, "RPS enactment in a state did generate an increase in investment in new renewable generating assets, but investment increased significantly less in states with a history of regulatory reversal," a mark of an uncertain policy environment.
With important implications for policy makers, the study suggests that government renewable-energy policy initiatives, when launched in less stable regulatory environments, 1) lead firms to perceive new investment in clean energy projects and assets as more risky, and 2) ultimately create fewer new investments in renewable generation assets, undermining the purpose of the policy.
Fabrizio's research highlights the importance of regulators' commitment to policy stability and predictability. Her study holds implications not just for renewable energy investment but other initiatives such as carbon tax/abatement policies, where long-lived investments depend on policies subject to future modification.
The study also touches on strategies for enhancing the credibility of RPS regulatory efforts and their perceived stability, thus reducing the apparent risk of renewable energy investment. These include:
- Regulatory support for investments dependent on renewable energy policies and requirements, whereby regulated utilities could recover the costs of investments in their rates if the value of these investments falls due to policy reversals.
- Adoption of requirements and procedures making the repeal or renegotiation of RPS policies more arduous.
Whatever strategies regulatory agencies undertake, Fabrizio urges, "Until policy makers are able to enact legislation and credibly commit to maintaining the policy they adopt, firms will be less willing to invest in developing and adopting new technologies."

To Save Energy, Call This PEMBA Grad
Domenic Armano Helps Analyze and Reduce Energy Usage at FirstFuel
Domenic Armano (PEMBA'12) has his dream job in the field of energy efficiency at FirstFuel, a Lexington, Massachusetts-based energy analytics firm, and he attributes much of his success to his Boston University MBA experience.
Armano was running engineering services in the energy services business of the New England region at Johnson Controls (JCI) when he enrolled in the Professional Evening MBA (PEMBA) program at Boston University in 2006. (He took an 18-month leave of absence around the midpoint of his program, and then graduated in 2012.)
In PEMBA, he was a strategy concentrator and took two classes with Finance Professor Nalin Kulatilaka, Wing Tat Lee Family Professor in Management. "One was clean energy finance. The second was a directed study sponsored by JCI. Nalin was one of the people co-founding FirstFuel at the time and introduced me to Swapnil Shah, the CEO."
When he met Shah, Armano was managing a sizable engineering team at JCI, and thus had numerous people pitching him with products and services. One of the most persistent, he says, was Shah.
"FirstFuel is a service that identifies the energy efficiency of a large portfolio of thousands of buildings really fast, which you couldn't do before," Armano explains. "The 'old world' of energy auditing involved going building to building with a clipboard. At JCI, we ended up being one of the first customers, because we saw its benefits."
Armano says he continually provided insight into the product and how to make it better. He became such a fan, he helped FirstFuel make a sale to another company. "And then I realized: I have to join them. It's a product I love in an industry I love. It's a game-changing technology in terms of auditing and identifying energy efficiencies."
In April, he came in as the tenth employee. Today, he's director of customer solutions, where he handles the deployment of new sales as well as sale presentations. With only about 40 employees, he wears a lot of hats.
Using just building addresses and electric usage interval data (a meter reading every 15 minutes) and running it through the company's proprietary algorithms, Armano says, "We know if a structure is heating or cooling too late in the day or if usage is more occupant-related. If it's weather-related, it's probably the heating and cooling/ventilation system. If it's people-related, it's probably lighting. We pull back layers of the onion and watch how the building responds. Once we know that, our customers can take action."
Armano says, "I wouldn't be where I am today without this MBA." In addition to Kulatilaka, he cites influential classes with Executive-in-Residence and Strategy & Innovation Lecturer Paul McManus, and Associate Professor and Dean's Research Fellow Nitin Joglekar of operations & technology management, as well as numerous conversations with Managing Director of the Office of Technology Development Vinit Nijhawan. "The insights, the connections, and the mentorship from the whole team here were invaluable—I just wish I had done it sooner."
As part of the FirstFuel leadership team, Armano says his strategy concentration directly comes into play. "It helps me assess a new market or a particular customer. I can better identify the competitive threats and opportunities. It's changed my thinking to a more regimented focus, and helps me identify the facts that help substantiate decisions. Together that's really helped me grow as a business leader."
Kulatilaka says, "Dom was a significant contributor to my course even during his leave of absence from the MBA program. He developed a total of four student projects involving business issues at JCI that greatly helped the experiential learning of our MBA students. Such projects are an important part of our planned energy and environment sector specialization. He's a great asset both to the School as an alumnus and as a member of the FirstFuel team."
Management, Engineering, and Arts & Sciences Collaboration Leads to New Minor in Sustainable Energy
Includes business, economics, policy, and engineering courses on energy-related issues
Faculty members from Boston University School of Management, College of Engineering, and College of Arts & Sciences have developed a new Minor in Sustainable Energy. Designed to reveal the interdisciplinary nature of energy study, the minor consists of six courses taught by faculty across the three schools. This is the first program at the University that offers an interdisciplinary practicum to this degree.
The minor, an outgrowth of Boston University's Clean Energy and Environmental Sustainability Initiative, includes perspectives from business, economics, policy, and engineering to provide students a holistic view of the sustainable energy field. The minor concludes with a hands-on, real-world capstone project, in which students act as consultants to a sponsoring company and apply their learning in engineering, science, and business issues to analyze a problem.
The new minor comes after the School of Management recently evolved its graduate and undergraduate curricula to integrate the three most vital and rapidly growing sectors of the world economy: energy and the environment, digital technology, and health.
"Consistent with SMG's mission of creating value for the world, students completing this minor will graduate with an understanding of how businesses can proactively and profitably shape the future of energy across the world," said Paul McManus, Executive-in-Residence and Lecturer in the School of Management's Strategy & Innovation department, and one of the principal creators of the new minor.
The Minor in Sustainable Energy is open to all students enrolled in a four-year undergraduate program in any School or College at Boston University.

Designing a More Self-Sufficient Solar Panel
As companies and homeowners alike look for greener ways to power their homes and businesses, solar panels are becoming an increasingly popular option.
Unfortunately, how much energy a solar panel generates is dependent on how clean the equipment is and it's not always easy–or cheap–to keep the panels spotless. Both dust and dirt can block sunlight and reduce the amount of energy yielded.
Boston University professors, Malay Mazumder (ECE), Mark Horenstein (ECE), and Nitin Joglekar (SMG), are hoping to solve this problem by designing a more self-sufficient panel that includes a cleaning component that would rely on electrodynamic removal of dust.
"Because cleaning solar collectors with water is expensive in desert conditions, solar plants often operate with dusty panels until water is absolutely necessary," said Mazumder. "Electrodynamic dust removal would not require water and could be operated as frequently as needed at a miniscule cost."
The BU professors are now one step closer toward achieving their goal after the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (DOE EERE) and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) awarded them grants for their research. The DOE will provide $955,340 for solar mirrors for photothermal energy conversion while MassCEC will give another $40k that will be used toward developing self-cleaning photovoltaic solar panels.
"The solar energy industry is growing at a rate of 33% or better in the U.S., and the renewable energy industry has shown strong growth since 2011," said Mazumder. "It is very timely that the DOE and Mass CEC would want to invest in this project so that the solar plants can operate at their highest efficiency."
Mazumder, Horenstein, and Joglekar are engaged in making prototypes that use electric fields to lift and move dust particles across the solar collector and ultimately remove them entirely.
As part of this project, Boston University will partner with Abengoa Solar, who will assist them in developing and testing out the prototype devices in the field. Abengoa is currently installing the world's largest solar plant in Arizona and is a leader in solar energy technology development. Sandia National Laboratories will also help evaluate the new solar collectors.
Mazumder, the principal investigator on the grant, has been working toward developing an electrodynamic screen for solar panels for nearly 12 years. NASA funded his initial project, which centered around developing self-cleaning panels that could be used in missions to Mars and the moon. He has been working with Abengoa for the last two years and Sandia for one year.

Net Impact Undergraduate Club Earns Gold Standing
One of Just Nine Lauded Chapters Across the Nation
The national headquarters of Net Impact (whose mission is "to mobilize a new generation of students to use their careers to drive transformational change in their workplaces and the world") announced that the undergraduate chapter at Boston University has achieved Gold Chapter standing, a designation awarded to only nine of 67 undergraduate chapters.
According to Liz Maw, CEO of Net Impact, "This is a tremendous achievement. Gold chapters are the most outstanding in the Net Impact network, which includes over 300 chapters around the world. They play an integral role in helping us to provide support, connections, and practical advice to help people in all sectors and job functions create a more just and sustainable future."
To earn gold, a chapter has to have a higher than normal level of events, they have to send a representative to the national conference, and they need to provide at least one "impact program." The achievement also reflects strong support from the University and the faculty advisors, she added. Assistant Professor Kira Fabrizio and Executive in Residence and Lecturer Paul McManus (both of strategy & innovation) advise the club.
The Boston University undergraduate chapter, led by president Joe Nangle (BSBA'12), held 22 events to benefit the student body and surrounding community throughout the year. Teaming with Sustainabilty@BU, SMG Student Government, business fraternity Delta Sigma Pi, and the Starbucks location at SMG, the club got students to pledge to reduce their usage of paper cups, and distributed almost 500 reusable mugs to replace them. They also ran panel discussions on "The Art of Social Entrepreneurship," and another on "Finance for Good." The club also ran Sustainability Sundays, informal gatherings where anyone on campus was invited to gather and discuss important events in the sustainability realm.

Lu and Bud are enjoying a short vacation at Grandma's House with one of their favorite cousins (Thanks, Grandma!) while I enjoy a short vacation at our house. Yesterday afternoon was spent cleaning out the craft/storage/toy room and trying to get many things back to where they should be.
Seriously. How often do I need to DO this?? Apparently, once a month seems to be my magic amount of time to keep my craft room opened up and work-able.
You know how much I bring into the house just by reading past posts...so somewhere along the lines, just as much stuff needs to make it's way back out of the house.
It helps having the kids away when I go through certain toy items. Shhhhh...don't tell. I was able to bag up many, many toys we purchased at Goodwill or rummage sales that never kept anyone's interest for longer than 49 seconds. I need our toys to give more to us than 49 seconds. And don't feel bad for the kids, there are still hundreds of thousands of toys in our toy storage area. And in the back room. And in both of their rooms. Sigh. Thankfully they are all back to the spots or bins or rubbermaids where they should be. For at least the next 24 hours, anyway!
And now that the toys are 'done' I get to go back down this morning and figure out where to put all of my stuff that needs to find a home.
And after I get a good amount tackled, I am SO gonna be stopping at Caribou Coffee for a Mocha mid morning on my way to do a drop off at Goodwill!
That shall be my reward.

UKBA to 'rob' poorest asylum seekers of unspent support
The UK Border Agency (UKBA) of the Home Office is to take unspent asylum support from the poorest single asylum seekers. The new 'Azure' payment card that asylum seekers will use at retail outlets to spend their asylum support when on 'section 4' payments, will have it's balance reduced to £5.00 when the next payment is due.
Any unspent support over this on the cards of asylum seekers without children will thus be be lost if not spent by Sunday night.
Section 4 asylum support is given to failed asylum seekers awaiting voluntary departure, or who are unfit to leave the country pregnant, or who have a fresh claim for asylumthat is undecided.The support is just £35 per week and was previously paid by the accommodation provider handing out vouchers redeemable at supermarkets. the new Azure card is being rolled out in stages.
The section 4 payment card will be introduced on the following dates:
- in Scotland first by the end of November 2009;
- London and the South and Wales by December 2009;
- The North (Yorkshire and Humber) and the North West by January 2010 in 2 bits;
- The Midland and the East of England by February 2010
The change does not affect asylum seekers. The UKBA justify the change by saying that:
"Support levels are designed to enable an individual or a family unit to buy food and essentials they need on a weekly basis. Recently introduced financial checks on section 4 service users have indicated that around 20% have bank accounts or access to other financial resources."
John Donkersley, Advice Services Manager at the NRC said:
"The change will rob the poorest asylum seekers of cash. They may not spend all the credit on the card if they are ill and can't get out, or if they would like to save up some of their support for a larger item e.g. a piece of clothing or shoes that need replacing but that they cannot afford from their weekly money all at once."
"Those asylum seekers on section 4 who have bank accounts will have set them up in better times, and or have used them on very limited occasions, e.g. to buy mobile phone credit online so they can ring solicitors, or make hospital appointments. The UKBA do not say that all of these bank accounts have any money in them or that they all mask fraudulent claims for support."
The new card can be used at all the major supermarkets, with the exception of Morrisons, along with Londis/Budgen; Costcutter; Co-op/Somerfield; Farm Foods; Peacocks; Wilkinsons; Boots and Mothercare.

The model was spotted at a Nov. 29 event with what appeared to be a baby on board — do YOU think she's expecting, HollywoodLifers?
Karrueche Tran and Chris Brown may not be officially together, but they could be tied together for a VERY long time: a new report claims she's pregnant!
Similar rumors have followed Karrueche before, and HollywoodLife.com has debunked them. But she's been seeing 23-year-old Chris in recent months, and Media Take Out says that points to a baby on board!
"She 'unexpectedly forgot' to put on any Spanx – which she had been using to hide her PREGNANT BELLY," the site wrote.
Media Take Out also has a picture in which the normally very thin Karrueche appears to have a bump!
Furthermore, Karrueche wrote two leading tweets on November 29, including "hiiiiii pretty baby" and "I honestly can't wait for you guys to see what we have coming." Could she be excited to give birth?
Do YOU think Karrueche is pregnant, HollywoodLifers?

Never trust MTO it is a joke site. The title reads " now she got him for life", that is to attract hood-minded females who really think having a child with someone they love is going to keep dude around or make him fall for her.ghetto.Then MTO writes that K forgot to wear spanx. She is 80 lbs. wet, when the heck does she ever wear spanx? I found this site to avoid MTO because of their fabricated stories ( and lack of spell check), please don't reference them ;)

I don't read Media Fakeout and I try to avoid site that use them as a source. They make us stories out of thin air. They have accused Karrueche of being pregnant several times. Make an internation call to speak to Chris's buddies and get a dumb quote if you need a story. Don't resort to referencing Media Fakeout stories.

Penn State 71
(8-17, 0-13 Big Ten)
(4) Michigan 79
(22-4, 9-4 Big Ten)
Coverage: BTN
12:00 PM ET, February 17, 2013
Crisler Center, Ann Arbor, Michigan
Top Performers
Penn State: S. Borovnjak 17 Pts, 4 Reb, 3 Ast
Michigan: T. Burke 29 Pts, 3 Reb, 5 Ast, 2 Stl
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Glenn Robinson III bounced back from one of his worst games to help No. 4 Michigan respond to an embarrassing loss with a much-needed win.
Robinson matched a career high with 21 points and Trey Burke scored a season-high 29 to help the Wolverines get past a humbling setback with a 79-71 victory over Penn State on Sunday."It definitely got my confidence rolling," Robinson said after making all six of his shots, nine of 11 free throws and grabbing 10 rebounds.It might've helped Michigan (22-4, 9-4 Big Ten) as well after it dropped three of its previous four games, including a 23-point loss Tuesday night on the road against No. 8 Michigan State."We just needed a win any way possible," coach John Beilein said.Michigan appeared to still be struggling to get over its blowout against the rival Spartans when it trailed for much of the first half against a last-place team without a conference win."I told the guys this was a gritty, not pretty, win," Burke said.The Nittany Lions (8-17, 0-13) led by as many as eight points in the first half. They went ahead 7-plus minutes into the game and had the lead until Burke made a game-tying, off-balance fadeaway with 55 seconds left in the first half."It was an incredible shot," Penn State coach Patrick Chambers said. "It looked like he was going to pass it, but he hung in the air long enough that he could change his mind and shoot it. And, he's talented enough that he made it."Jermaine Marshall and Sasa Borovnjak each scored 17 points while D.J. Newbill and Ross Travis had 11 apiece for the Nittany Lions. Penn State, coming off a two-point loss to Iowa, is desperately trying to win a Big Ten game for the first time since beating the Hawkeyes on Feb. 16, 2012."The energy, attitude and resolve we've had has been incredible," Chambers said. "We're getting better. A couple weeks ago, we wouldn't have been in this game."Michigan scored the first six points after halftime to take control and Robinson appeared to help the Wolverines pull away with eight-point leads early in the second half.The Nittany Lions, though, wouldn't wilt easily. Penn State pulled within a point midway through the half, but couldn't get the lead back."The first half went as well as it could've for us, but giving up almost 50 points in the second half was not executing our game plan," Chambers said. "We've got to learn how to make plays down the stretch to win."Robinson played well following a poor performance at Michigan State, where he matched a season low with two points."He probably had four or five dunks to do a good job of igniting them," Chambers said.Tim Hardaway Jr., meanwhile, was off offensively for a second straight game. The junior shooting guard scored eight points -- half his average -- on 3-of-11 shooting after equaling a career low with two points and missing 10 of 11 shots against the Spartans."He's old enough to know he can get 20 any given night," said Burke, a sophomore.Freshman Nik Stauskas scored 18 points, giving the Wolverines the third scoring option they needed to avoid an upset.Michigan welcomed back former players such as Glen Rice, who led the school to its only NCAA basketball title in 1989, over the weekend and during the game for a rededication of an aging Crisler Arena into the transformed venue that is now known as Crisler Center."This place is unbelievable," Rice said just before tipoff. "It's amazing what they've done to the place."The Wolverines wore throwback uniforms, designed to look like the ones from the 1967-68 season, their first in Crisler Arena, and the players got haircuts to sport part of the Fab Five's look from two decades ago.Michigan has a week off before its next game at home against Illinois. The time off should help Jordan Morgan recover from a lingering ankle injury, which limited him to 7 minutes Sunday, and Chris LeVert, who was knocked out of the game against Penn State with an ankle injury."(LeVert) couldn't go back in after it tightened up on him," Beilein said. "When you watch (Morgan) move out there, it's not happening. He's delayed."Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

Just like the rest of the hemisphere, Argentina's president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner seemed most concerned about Cuba in the run-up to the Summit of the Americas in Trinidad and Tobago this weekend.
Speaking with the authority of one who paid a house call to Fidel Castro several months ago, Kirchner had some characteristically choice words to describe the status quo of U.S. Cuba policy: "absurd", an "anachronism". "The Washington consensus was a tragedy for our economies," Kirchner said Friday.
Much to her chagrin, though, it looks like Kirchner won't have the chance to air her complaints to America's face.
While both neighbor Brazil and the only other Latin American economy larger than Argentina's, Mexico, got official private face time with Obama, the government of Argentina has been denied the privilege. They find this particularly insulting, considering that smaller economies like rival Chile scored a meeting. Chile's claim to fame, though, is that it currently leads the Union of South American Nations.
Argentina, on the other hand, still suffers somewhat from the pariah reputation: on Thursday, U.S. treasury secretary Timothy Geithner reportedly denounced Kirchner's anti-crisis measures as promoting economic uncertainty and capital flight.
These are the chronic woes that have made Argentina ineligible for loans from the International Monetary Fund. The Summit of the Americas is a chance for Argentina to try to sweet talk other development banks. President Kirchner met with the Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank Saturday, bringing her one step closer to what was reportedly one of her top goals for the summit: getting her country back into the international credit system.

Dish Network: Valuable spectrum but too many questions
Posted By Andy Vuong On December 19, 2011 @ 11:51 am In Dish Network,General,Technology,Telecommunications | 2 Comments
Dish Network lost nearly 400,000 net subscribers over the past six quarters. The Douglas County-based satellite-TV company is facing increasing competition, mainly from telcos, and consumer video viewing habits are rapidly changing amid the rise of streaming services.
UBS analyst John Hodulik [4] cites those reasons for not being "enamoured" with Dish's core business.
Though the Blockbuster acquisition [5] could provide some upside, Hodulik has serious questions about Dish's ability to realize the full value of the wireless spectrum the company spent $2.9 billion acquiring this year. He wrote in a research note today:
Despite the prospective value of this spectrum, we remain on the sidelines with DISH for 3 reasons. First, we believe the FCC will place conditions on the spectrum that 1) prevent DISH from selling the spectrum to AT&T and/or 2) look to reclaim a substantial portion of the spectrum to offset the increase in value that a terrestrial waiver would have. Second, we believe AT&T is the only realistic buyer of the spectrum and the company is likely to remain embroiled in its efforts to strike some sort of deal with T-Mobile for some time. Lastly, it remains unclear what Chairman Charlie Ergen [6]'s (pictured) plans are for the spectrum and whether he will move ahead with deployment of a new national 4G network. While this may create value for shareholders over time, we believe this strategy will be a long and bumpy road. We believe these issues will prevent shareholders from realizing the spectrum's full value, while the core business continues to muddle through given the secular challenges facing the industry.
One wildcard is Hughes Communications [7], the satellite-broadband company that Dish's sister company EchoStar [8] acquired this year for $2 billion.
Hughes is expected to launch a high-capacity satellite in 2012 that should allow it to offer true broadband service via satellites. ViaSat launched a similar satellite in October and its wholly owned subsidiary, WildBlue [9], is preparing to roll out 12 Mbps service [10] nationwide.
If Hughes can deliver consistent 12 Mbps service for about $50 a month – and that's a big if – Dish could pair that offering with its satellite-TV service for an attractive discounted bundle similar to cable's double play.
Two years from now, or perhaps sooner, the dominant triple-play bundle will include broadband, pay-TV and wireless service, which replaces land-line and cable's Internet-based phone services in the package. Dish could own all three pieces of the triple play if it goes forward with plans to roll out a nationwide 4G wireless network [11]. It's likely those plans would include a partner, such as Sprint Nextel.

It should be pointed out that the amount of XP a player has isn't linked to any material gameplay advantages. Reaching certain XP - and ribbon and kill - milestones in the game unlocks prize boxes featuring new weapon camos and character skins.
Gears of War: Judgement becomes the latest game in a growing line of triple-A console titles to embrace microtransactions, with other notable recent examples including Dead Space 3 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
Microsoft has confirmed a Gears of War: Judgment release date of March 19, 2013 in the US and March 22 in the UK.
In CVG's Gears of War: Judgment review published this morning, we praised the People Can Fly prequel's tight combat and fresh weapons, though ultimately stated the new game is "less essential" than the original trilogy.

PORT ALLEN - A sugar cane truck rolled onto its side and caused several delays for traffic in West Baton Rouge Parish.
The truck turned over this morning on La. 415 just north of I-10.
The wreck caused some lane blockage, and law enforcement closed one side of La. 415 to recover the truck. Congestion from the wreck backed up onto I-10, slowing traffic there.
La. 415 reopened shortly after noon. There are no confirmed injuries from the wreck.
