Insights from our Editorial Team
Yes, even at 3 a.m.
Just consider me the Intelligent Utility librarian-in-residence. One of the important aspects of my job isn't just finding info, writing it up and pushing it out. In fact, I'm also here to tell you what works together---and what insider insights may be best incorporated into your next paper or presentation. Need a good quote from a utiltiy executive that sums up your point? Need to know what a utility is doing with DA or reliability or mobility to support your hypothesis? Just click here.
There is still considerable opportunity to engage the full functionality and potential of new customer communication channels, social media in particular.
The electric industry is poised to become a cross-industry thought leader in handling, analyzing, and making strategic use of big data. But first the industry has to master the data.

We chat with Teresa Mogensen, VP of transmission for Xcel Energy, about her job, how she got here and the trick to overseeing more than 19,000 miles of lines and 1,100 substations throughout 10 states.
November is one to remember, from giving thanks to honoring vets. There was a lot going on in this rather chilly fall month---especially on Twitter. Our top five for this installment includes tweets from as far south as the gulf and as far north as our friends in Canada. Did your utility make the cut? Click through to find out.
For this installment of our Utility2Utility interview series, we asked Scott Drake, manager of corporate technical solutions, about some recent software investments in energy auditing for their 16 owner-member cooperatives.
IEEE answers
We knocked on a few doors and asked about the industry a-ha moments that defined the last century for our November/December print issue. To start the conversation, we decided to include the full answer here of Massoud Amin, chairman, IEEE Smart Grid. Do you agree? Let us know on Twitter with #powerBREAKTHRU and tell us what about power you're thankful for with #thanksPOWER.
One of the "problems" with analytics is that it really is pretty cool. It is very easy to get lost and pulled into the technology and find oneself working deep into the technology before---or not fully---considering the business implications and impacts of working with data in a new way.
Usually for this series, we talk directly with traditional electric utilities. But, creeping farther and farther into the utility space, is a new form of utility---the retail one. Founded in Canada in 1986, Direct Energy is the largest energy retailer in North America. Unlike traditional utilities, retailers like Direct Energy can slice and dice both geography and customer segments.
Barely a day goes by that we don't hear about new projects being developed in some exciting place that isn't here, which might make you wonder if your company also should look for project opportunities outside of the U.S.

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals is allowing the Abu Ghraib torture lawsuits against military contractors to proceed ... for now.
In an 11-3 decision after en banc rehearing, the Fourth Circuit reinstated two torture claims in Virginia and Maryland federal courts. The court did not rule on the merits of either claim; it only agreed to let judges in the cases review more evidence before addressing the contractors' immunity claims.
Most of the claims in the two Abu Ghraib lawsuits were similar. Detainees in both cases alleged that they were interrogated in dangerous and unauthorized stress positions, subjected to sexual assault and sensory deprivation, and beaten repeatedly. Both groups claimed food, water and sleep deprivation. Both charged that the contractors forced them to witness another prisoner's rape. Both groups alleged that the abuse and cover-up were carried out by named contractors in conspiracy with U.S. military personnel.
Last year, a Fourth Circuit panel dismissed the lawsuits, ruling 2-1 that the state law claims against the contractors are pre-empted by federal authority to manage a war, reports The Washington Post. The court, relying on the Supreme Court's ruling in Boyle v. United Technologies Corp, found that CACI International and L-3 Services were insulated from liability in the Abu Ghraib torture cases under the military contractor immunity defense.
The detainees, however, won a second chance to bring their claims following en banc rehearing. Judge Robert B. King, writing for the majority, reasoned that "fundamentally, a court is entitled to have before it a proper record, sufficiently developed through discovery proceedings, to accurately assess any claim, including one of immunity."
The dissenting judges disagreed, arguing that the majority's view "inflicts significant damage on the separation of powers, allowing civil tort suits to invade theatres of armed conflict heretofore the province of those branches of government constitutionally charged with safeguarding the nation's most vital interests," and opining that "only the Supreme Court can now fix our wayward course."
What do you think? Will the Supreme Court be the next stop for the Abu Ghraib torture lawsuit?

IN THE eighth week of an opposition-led strike aimed at toppling President Hugo Chávez, Venezuela slipped a little closer to autarky. On January 22nd, the central bank bowed to the inevitable and suspended currency trading for five days, pending the introduction of exchange controls. The bolívar has lost 28% of its value so far this year as exports slowed to a trickle and demand for dollars soared.
Inevitable, but nevertheless unwelcome for Mr Chávez, a sworn opponent of exchange controls. He has also claimed to have no quarrel with foreign capital, just with local "oligarchs". But several multinationals pulled their expatriate staff out after Mr Chávez sent troops to "liberate" a strikebound Coca-Cola plant, owned by a Mexican bottling company.
The opposition claims that Mr Chávez, a former army officer who was twice elected, is ruling as a dictator. His opponents are "fascists" retorts the president. He is sticking to the letter of the 1999 constitution he fathered, which allows a mid-term recall referendum, but not until later this year. The Supreme Tribunal this week quashed a plan for an earlier referendum.
Mr Chávez claims that his "Bolivarian revolution" is triumphing. The strike is indeed starting to fray: some shipping pilots returned to work this week. But it remains solid where it hurts most, in the oil industry. And that has prompted new international efforts to try to bridge the chasm that divides the two sides.
For more than two months, César Gaviria, the secretary-general of the Organisation of American States (OAS), has tried fruitlessly to broker a settlement. His mandate allows him only to "facilitate", not propose. So this week Jimmy Carter, a former American president, suggested two ways out: either a firm date for a referendum in August, or a constitutional reform to shorten Mr Chávez's term from six years to four, with an election next year.
Neither scheme is new, but their timing is interesting. On January 24th, foreign ministers from a newly formed group of "friends of Venezuela" are due to meet in Washington. This initiative was proposed by Brazil's president, Lula da Silva, who is friendly to Mr Chávez. It was first rejected, but then adopted by the United States. None of the other four members (Chile, Mexico, Portugal and Spain) is a fan of the "Bolivarian Revolution". A bid by Mr Chávez to expand the group—to include allies like Algeria, China, Russia and France—was turned down by Brazil.
Even if the group were to adopt Mr Carter's ideas, it is not clear whether either side would accept them. The opposition will want reinstatement for the oil-industry strikers, and guarantees that any vote will be fair. Mr Chávez has shown no intention of surrendering power. The diplomats may be in for a long haul.

August 29, 2005 The Peugeot Design Contest was the first major design contest to be held on the internet and it fuelled the imagination of designers all over the globe when it first hit in 2000. Here was an opportunity for a young designer with vision to bypass everything on the way to global acclaim – the winner received significant prizes and the ultimate reward was to have their concept produced as a working vehicle and featured on the Peugeot stand at the world's premier motor show – this year the Frankfurt Show. This year the third Peugeot Design Contest saw André Costa carry off the first prize for his outrageous two-seater electric concept car, the Moovie. With the Frankfurt Show just weeks away, Peugeot has now released images of the actual working model that was built from Costa's original concept. It's one concept worth examining, particularly now that the small electric-powered two-seater city car has gone from drawing board to reality.
André Costa's words that described the car went as follows: "What shaped the visual look on the vehicle was the two big electric wheels with hollow rim, these wheels are hollow in the middle, this is where the doors of the car are located, the vehicle has like this big doors allowing the users to have enough space to enter and exit the vehicle.
"The big wheels have a reason behind it, the bigger the wheel less turns it has to make to travel, less turns less energy expended. The front of the vehicle is supported by two spheres, these are purely for support, the car turns by a system that makes one electric wheel go faster then the other, this system allows the vehicle in some cases to make 360º turns which is great for parking and moving in small city streets.
"Also and to enhance the stability of the vehicle, the wheels make an angle of about 10º closing on the top.
"The two big round doors slide along the side-front of the car to waste less space in small parking spaces, allowing a better exit at all times. The review mirrors fold up to avoid touching the doors during the side slide.

SPSS at Ole Miss: Part I
This is the first of a two-part article on SPSS at Ole Miss. In part one after introducing SPSS and looking at how to activate SPSS on willow and on PC, we look at an example program of SPSS that performs a t-test. Then, we see how "SPSS save files" are created by SPSS System. In the following article we show how the "SPSS save file" created in this part is activated and the data and information is retrieved from it.
SPSS/PC is completely interactive and users only need to enter their data and then choose a particular routine to perform a specific procedure from many that are available to them. To activate SPSS on a PC click on the SPSS icon. After that, everything is menu driven and SPSS help may be utilized to get help.
To activate SPSS on willow, enter: spss -m part1.spss >my.out
spss -m part1.spss >my.out
In this example part1.spss is the user input to the SPSS software. If there are no errors, the output (result) from this run will be saved in my.out as requested by the user. Below is a simple example of SPSS program copied from willow. Please note that lines containing /**/ are comments and are not executed. These lines explain the SPSS instructions for performing the t-test. This file is also located at /users/local/appl/examples/spss/part1.spss on willow.
set width 80 run name t-test:example from pages 74 of Steel & Torrie data list /ind 1 dep 4-7 /* */ /* There are two variables, ind located on col 1 and dep located on col. 4-7 */ /* */ t-test groups=ind/variables=dep /* */ /* t-test is performed on var. dep. */ /* */ statistics all /* Generate all the statistics available to t-test.*/ /* begin reading data */ begin data 1 57.8 1 56.2 1 61.9 1 54.4 1 53.6 1 56.4 1 53.2 2 64.2 2 58.7 2 63.1 2 62.5 2 59.8 2 59.2 end data /* This line signals the end of the input data */ /* The following 2 lines create two special SPSS files that */ /* may be used by another program to perform more analysis */ export outfile=myportfile save outfile='tdisk.sav'.
The last two lines of the above program create a binary data set called "tdisk.sav". We will talk about how to activate this SPSS save file and retrieve data from it in the next article. Following result is generated when the above SPSS program is executed:
Variable of Cases Mean SD SE of Mean ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEP IND 1 7 56.2143 3.002 1.135 IND 2 6 61.2500 2.302 .940 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mean Difference = -5.0357 Levene's Test for Equality of Variances: F= .019 P= .893 t-test for Equality of Means 95% Variances t-value df 2-Tail Sig SE of Diff CI for Diff ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Equal -3.34 11 .007 1.506 (-8.350, -1.721) Unequal -3.42 10.90 .006 1.473 (-8.282, -1.789) -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Architectural Highlights Lower Austria
Lower Austria
Lower Austria on the mapLower Austria offers both tranquility and exhilaration. Tranquility because sometimes the only sound one hears is the murmur of the Danube and the rustling of the gloriously coloured forests, and exhilaration when one passes one of the Wachau's many remarkable historic buildings. Towering above the valley are the ruins of Aggstein and Dürnstein castles, while the town of Spitz boasts a magnificent late-Gothic parish church. One of the most striking buildings in the valley is Dürnstein Abbey, with its blue-and-white tower that can be seen from miles around.
Off-beat art in a historic ambience
The juxtaposition of old and new is particularly evident in Krems, a city that is the domain of off-beat artists. This begins right at the Krems-Stein Danube Ship Terminal - traditionally known as the "gateway to the Wachau" - the newly rebuilt terminal shaped like an oversized metal gate in correspondance. Not far from here, the Kunsthalle Krems also unites modernity and tradition. The site of a large tobacco processing factory in the nineteenth century, it is now a major venue for contemporary art. No less modern is the adjacent Caricature Museum. These contemporary architectural projects offer a stimulating contrast to the many historic buildings in the surrounding area. The Steinertor acts as the entrance to the oldest section of the city, with outstanding structures such as the Dominican Church and Gozzoburg Castle on the Hoher Markt. The latter is Lower Austria's most important urban medieval building.From Krems it is not far to St. Pölten. Characteristic features of this city, which only in 1986 became the provincial capital, are the new, ultra-modern government quarter and the adjoining cultural district. The Provincial Museum has a playful quality, with its eye-catching wavy roof in front of the main entrance. The Festspielhaus is an unconventional glass complex and the architectural antithesis to the Baroque St. Pölten Cathedral, the landmark of the historic city center.
Wine is not just wine; it is an experience
From the city we head back out into the countryside. Here, bucolic scenery and contemporary architecture meet to create an extraordinary wine experience at the Loisium in Langenlois. The wine museum, designed by the US architect Steven Holl, is an extravagant structure that is nonetheless firmly rooted in a centuries-old winegrowing area. If you hadn't realized it before, this is a place that will show you that wine is not just wine. It is an exciting but authentic experience in the middle of nature.Authentic culture can also be sampled in Grafenegg, located only a few kilometres away. This town has established itself as a centre for open-air music festivals and in 2007 opened an imposing outdoor stage known as the Cloud Tower which attracts music lovers and visitors with a fondness for unusual architecture to Musikfestival Grafenegg every year.
In view of this wealth of architectural highlights, it would be understandable if no time remained to visit the Baroque Marchfeld Palaces or Klosterneuburg Monastery. But tomorrow is always another day and watching the sun rise in the monastery gardens is just one more unforgettable experience to be had in Lower Austria's rich cultural landscape.

Hi Everyone -- Rain showers are making their way through the southern parts of Kansas this morning. Some of those showers are trying to drop a little farther southward into NE Oklahoma. Right now there are no severe weather watches or warnings associated with these passing showers / storms.
As they continue moving eastward they are dropping some locally heavy rain. If they intensify they could also (possibly) drop pea size hail. Throughout the morning I will be watching the radar and they move into NE Oklahoma and / or NW Arkansas I'll be certain to let you know.
Otherwise there is a 20% chance of showers in the River Valley today and a 30% chance of showers or isolated storms in NW Arkansas. Highs will be in the upper 70s and low 80s.
Have a great day.

We're getting into the spirit of the season just like everyone else. In addition to the gingerbread men, peppermint delights, and traditional Christmas cookies, we love to include an adult treat in our Holiday repertoire of goodies. I enjoy eggnog as part of my winter routine. Chrystal, on the other hand, is not the biggest fan of dairy, boozy drinks. Being that many of my in-laws have a Swedish heritage, I thought a glogg recipe would be the perfect alcoholic seasonal beverage to share.

It is not hard to be a foodie. We live it, and we love it. But there can be downfalls–pits and traps that make it hard along the way. They come in the form of baked goods, fried food, creamy dips and bacon-wrapped anything. Our lovely Diva at Beach Eats summed it up best in Fact Two of her special report on the life of a food blogger. It can be a struggle. A struggle for real! We like to cook and eat and share our cooking with friends, so they can eat it too. Sometimes we may be doing everyone a slight disservice, although no one wants to admit that. Well we will today, here on this blog! That being said, we had to take a break from the desserts, treats and snacks that we do love to make from time to time (back away from the butter!) and showcase a full meal packed with protein, fiber, beta-carotenes and healthy fats. Yes, there is such a thing as healthy fats. At least that makes us feel better about leaving our butter behind.

This dessert is not 100% ours. We admit that fully. This dessert came about after eating these amazing walnut, date and orange wontons after we assisted another class at Hipcooks. Fried dough stuffed with sweet dates, bright orange flavor and crunchy walnuts…heaven! There was extra filling left over after class, and instead of letting it go to waste, we were allowed to wrap it up and bring it home. Ding ding ding, we had an idea. Cookies? No. Fruit bars? Eh. Pancake filling? Maybe next time. We both love tarts to death and decided to make good use of this premade filling for a little sweet nibblet. Voici la galette!

Warm Sweet Potatoes and Chickpea Salad with Tahini Dressing
Vegetarian • Tags: allspice, cardamom, chickpeas, salad, sweet potato, tahini
A couple of days ago, we proposed the idea of recipe adaptations and just how far we can stretch the word. Looks like many people find recipes as a means to an end, and however you interpret that recipe doesn't matter. It's what you end up with that can be your own, although giving credit where credit is due remains key and important. In the end, recipes are meant to be adopted and then adapted!
Well we said there would be a part two to that post, so here it is. We first saw this recipe on Smitten Kitchen less than a month ago, and knew we just had to give it a try. It was colorful, fresh and chock full of the staples we normally keep in the kitchen. But of course we made a few changes and additions! Like swapping a main star for one of our favorite vegetables, adding another layer of crunch, pumping up the color green, using a thicker dressing and sprinkling in additional seasonings. Who's to say if it was any better or worse than the original, but what we did create was hands down delish. …

Mutagenesis of the proposed iron-sulfur cluster binding ligands in Escherichia coli biotin synthase
Hewitson, K. S., Baldwin, J. E., Shaw, N. M. and Roach, P. L. (2000) Mutagenesis of the proposed iron-sulfur cluster binding ligands in Escherichia coli biotin synthase. Febs Letters, 466, (2-3), 372-376. (doi:10.1016/S0014-5793(00)01101-7).
Full text not available from this repository.
Biotin synthase (BioB) is a member of a family of enzymes that includes anaerobic ribonucleotide reductase and pyruvate formate lyase activating enzyme. These enzymes all use S-adenosylmethionine during turnover and contain three highly conserved cysteine residues that may act as ligands to an iron-sulfur cluster required for activity. Three mutant enzymes of BioB have been made, each with one cysteine residue (C53, 57, 60) mutated to alanine, All three mutant enzymes were inactive, hut they still exhibited the characteristic UV-visible spectrum of a [2Fe-2S](2+) cluster similar to that of the wild-type enzyme.

Town Restaurant is a steakhouse serving American comfort food in downtown San Carlos. It opened in 2006 and has gotten positive press, so we figured we would see how it stacks up. Over the years, this restaurant has been consistently busy. Town is definitely a hit with the locals, many of which can just walk over for a meal. Our last visit was in March 2014. It is so busy, we had to make a reservation a week in advance.

Why did we dine here? – Locanda Positano is the sister restaurant to now closed Acqua Pazza in San Mateo and has received some high accolades on Yelp. We were in the area, love Italian food, and decided to give them a try. Locanda means inn, in Italian. Positano is a scenic town hugging the Amalfi coast of Southern Italy. We've visited there but did not have a meal. Our last visit was in February 2015, where we found this place extremely loud.
The restaurant was packed at dinner time, so make reservations ahead of time. It has gotten louder over the years too.
Why did we dine here? – Seiya is a small plates oriented Japanese restaurant in sleepy San Carlos. It is situated in a location that once housed Hamon Japanese Restaurant.
This restaurant is highly rated on Yelp, with 4.5 stars when we dined here. Chef/owner Kuo Hwa Chuang, from Domo and Blowfish in San Francisco runs Seiya.
Piacere means Pleasure, to please, a source delight or joy in Italian. This restaurant is located in San Carlos in the Laurel Street shopping area right across the street from restaurant Town and near Spasso. Piacere focuses on modern California-Italian cuisine using local and organic ingredients. One last visit was in May of 2011, where we sensed food quality slipping. Read the rest of this entry »

Mathew B. Brady (American, 1823?–1896)
Albumen silver print from glass negative
8 11/16 x 7 7/16 in. (22.1 x 18.9 cm)
Gilman Collection, Purchase, Joseph M. Cohen Gift, 2005 (2005.100.98)
Clara Barton, the first president of the American Red Cross, began her philanthropic career by distributing supplies for the relief of wounded soldiers during the Civil War. At its close, she organized the first bureau of records in Washington, D.C., to aid in the search for missing men. In connection with this work, Barton identified and marked the graves of more than 12,000 soldiers in the National Cemetery at Andersonville, Georgia. The site of the most notorious Confederate prison, Andersonville was one of the most deadly places in the war. Of the more than 40,000 Union soldiers imprisoned, 13,000 died of starvation and diseasea ratio of one in three.
To support her effort for proper burial of the Andersonville dead, and to raise money for veteran relief in general, Barton displayed and sold souvenirs of Andersonville. As early as 1866, the year this photograph was copyrighted by Brady, Barton discovered that veterans had already begun to collect relics of the war. Carefully identified by descriptive labels and placed on a crudely built stepped display, the artifacts are a heinous spectacle, a brutal tableau composed for the camera to attract alms from survivors. The largest item for sale was a portion of the infamous Dead Line, a wooden fence that prisoners were prohibited from crossing on pain of death.

I did one of my college research projects on forgeries - it is a VERY fascinating field. I quickly discovered that I needed to narrow my research to just paintings and just within the past 300 years! I have a book "Three Picassos Before Breakfast: Memoirs of an Art Forger's Wife" by Anne-Marie Stein that details her husbands forgery experiences. This was a true story and an easy read book if you're looking for a good non-fiction. ~*~Michal~*~ K-12 Kansas Art Teacher http://www.geocities.com/theartkids

Mark Phelan lists his highs and lows from the North American International Auto Show at Cobo Center on Detroit's riverfront. / Detroit Free Press
Auto show guest check out the 2015 Ford F-150 during the 2014 North American International Auto Show held at Joe Louis Arena in downtown Detroit on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2014. / Jarrad Henderson/Detroit Free Press

Like seeing a good movie, half the fun of going to an auto show is talking about what you loved and hated. HereÆs my list of highs and lows from the North American International Auto Show at Cobo Center on DetroitÆs riverfront.
ThereÆs still time to choose your own hits and misses or get a second look at your dream vehicle. The show runs till 7 p.m. Sunday.
■ Full coverage: Visit Freep.com/autoshow for more stories, photo galleries and videos
Ford F-150 and Mustang
Cobo Center could have shifted on its foundation because of the crowds at FordÆs stand during the show so far. The aluminum-bodied 2015 F-150 may change the way we look at pickups because of its light weight and features like LED lights and a 2.7-liter Ecoboost V6. Every other automaker that makes a pickup is counting the days till it can buy a fleet of F-150s to take apart and study.
Mustang fans from around the country flocked to the dramatic 2015 Mustang, which gets an independent rear suspension, an impressive turbocharged engine, classy interior materials and driver-friendly controls for the pony carÆs 50th anniversary.
As the 3-series has grown, it created space for this new rear-wheel-drive coupe to fill the classic niche of the nimble and exciting small BMW. The 2-series looks like the keeper of the flame for BMWÆs claim to be the ultimate driving machine. ItÆs a bigger, better replacement for the 1-series thatÆs been on sale for the last few years.
This jaunty two-door should bethe first of several body styles based on CadillacÆs award-winning ATS small sport sedan. Lighter but more powerful than BMWÆs new 428i coupe, the turbocharged ATS coupe pushes Cadillac into new territory.
Promising plenty of room, good fuel economy, useful technology and value, the new 2015 Fit subcompact hatchback looks like a return to the virtues that have made Honda a favorite with buyers. Built in a new Mexican plant, the new Fit is slightly shorter but has more passenger space than the old model.
The low, sleek 200 is a rolling validation of ChryslerÆs alliance with Fiat. It boasts a new modern architecture, segment-first nine-speed automatic transmission, ChryslerÆs terrific Uconnect control system and features like automatic parking, adaptive cruise control and LED lights. It should be ChryslerÆs best midsize sedan ever.
The first Mercedes car built in the U.S., the 2015 C-classÆ new styling restores an appealing elegance to the Benz mainstay. The awkward clamshell hood is gone, replaced by a sleek body that houses more passenger and luggage room. The new C is bigger and roomier, but as much as 220 pounds lighter than its predecessor
IÆm dying to drive a pickup that fits easily in the parking lot at my local grocery store. Full-size pickups like the F-150 and GMC Sierra are incredibly capable, but theyÆve gotten so big that everyday use is challenging. IÆm ready to try a midsize pickup, particularly when a fuel-efficient diesel arrives in 2015. The Chevrolet Colorado shares the CanyonÆs size and specifications, with different looks.
MercedesÆ AMG performance models usually add an element of excitement and menace to the brandÆs vehicles, but this compactÆs lowered ride height and overheated detailing belong with the tweaked Hyundais and Scions at Hot Import Nights. The lurid rear wing is part of an optional body kit that should have been erased before it left the drawing board.
For this, we waited eight years? The handsome Edge was the first sign of an exciting renaissance in Ford design when it debuted in 2006. This mildly disguised version of the new 2015 Edge expected later this year warms over that look with character lines and LED lights, but fails to inject new vigor into the medium-sized crossover.
KiaÆs charge upmarket to challenge rear-drive luxury sedans wonÆt be helped by the K900Æs doggy name, or the laughable conjoined chrome portholes in its front fenders. These things are almost never functional, but that doesnÆt mean they have to be cartoonish.
On the other hand, KiaÆs GT4 Stinger compact concept looked good, with pleasant echoes of the long-lost Saab Aero-X concept cart.
VW completely wasted a quirky chapter of its heritage by trying to link this mildly modified Beetle to classic dune buggies based on the original Beetle. An honest open-bodied, stripped-down new Beetle dune buggy would be a show-stopper, but this bland concept missed its wave. It doesnÆt even have a surfboard, for HerbieÆs sake!

Well let's not forget that we spent 50 million last summer, it might have not been on a world class player but it was still 50 million Sir Alex had to spend. We might have a similar amount to spend this summer. We could have offered similar wages for Hazard as City and Chelsea but they are also the European Champions and English Champions. All we can do is make assumptions as to what happened. I remember reading many assumptions about our finances in the past and then we spent 50 million.
And so what if we sign Powell and Clyne, 2 players with a lot of potential. As long as we get the quality players we need all will be good! Getting established and youth players is what all clubs should be after. If at the end of the transfer window we haven't got the players we need we will all rage! but it's only May and there is plenty of time to get deals done.

We won FA cup and champions league. Vast income there. Infact our yearly income may have been close to yours.
Probably told him he would play most weeks. Not the case at city. Even a $#@!y bastard like hazard would know that.
$#@!ing this. He's bloody good. He's quite and effective. It's just like hazard without the attitude.
Your owned by rich owners who don't give a $#@! now. Abramovich bloody loves football and I can't speak for the city owner but hes there most weeks.

But we're not in a bubble. United, as Metal pointed out, is still in the green. We have our own money. Abramovich may love Chelsea and football, I don't doubt that. But someday, might not be tomorrow or in 10 years, he'll be gone. That's a fact of life. It is a dangerous game to play having private owners.
Chelsea and City are in their bubbles where life is grand but someday that bubble will roll over a spike and the fallout will be nasty. We've seen this in other businesses.
Football clubs should not have a majority owner, I firmly believe that. If someone super rich out there loves United, buy it, pay off the debt and turn the club private meaning nobody owns it.
Football clubs should be like traditional companies, think of it like a black box. Revenue goes into the box, something happens in the box (product) and out comes profit. The profit is what you spend.Last edited by Tutankhamun; 05-28-2012 at 22:46.

We don't know what went down wouldn't surprise me if we pulled out of the bidding when it went to 20 million.
We didn't win the league or get no where near as far in the CL this season as well so I doubt there's 50 mil to spend this season. Some of the earnings have to go on the debt payments.20...

General football news.. Ljajic dropped from Serbian squad because he refused to sing anthem. (apparenlty he's not ethnically a Serbian) Quite sad that they would drop a play based on nationalism/politics... football is meant to bring people together.

Now i can criticise Hazard all i want.He wanted the Number 10 ?! Get out of here,I think that's why he rejected United.Yeah we will make Rooney give him his number.I already feel sorry for the guy.

i cant believe this has only been brought to light, as soon as it was announced that the euros would be held there, i said wtf? they are some of the most violent and racists people ever and thats where FIFA wanna hold it?
Country doesn't deserve a chance.
As a black man, i wouldn't even go there on holiday
Thanks to Final for the sick sig!
05-29-2012 #27764
Great news if true that we've got Kagawa, softens the blow of losing out on Hazard.
I still think we could do with another centre mid a box to box player. Not sure who that will be Javi Martinez, Garcia from Benfica. A replacement for Hargreaves, Fletcher. Then a left back and squad is looking strong.20...

Loving the angry posts.
But, no one has mentioned the rumoured £6 million the agent is getting. If that was the fee, BOTH Manchester clubs will have told Hazard to do one. I'm sure the clubs stated they would no longer pay over the odds for agent fees. £6 million buys Nick Powell by the way.
Not too fussed to be honest, I'd never heard of Hazard until he started flogging himself on twitter.
United should chuck in a cheeky bid for Muniain or Iniesta, yeah I know it would never happen, but you never know. Iniesta might fancy a new challenge.
If they sign Kagawa(I hope they do) no doubt they will get the transfer fee back in days with shirt sales in Japan alone. I hear gingham is big in Japan.
And what's with the Jones bashing. He chose United over Arsenal for less money, yet Hazard would have been the greatest thing since... well Hazard. I'd rather have 11 Jones' in my team, than 11 Hazards'.

6 million agent and wages of around 170k a week.......top tier football has gone way beyond stupid.

I hope they do, still think he'd be a great signing. He also gets goals, plus his marketing would be a great addition.
They need to announce it soon to appease the fans and sell season tickets.20...

Should certain movies be banned?Banning it was the best thing they could've done, as it gave the film so much free publicity.
What is a Movie?Definition:A story or event recorded by a camera as a set of moving images and shown in a theater or on television. (Also known as films).
Wider definition
Types of movies
GenusMovies are a form of entertainment.
The case for banning movies?Whats wrong with movies?SummaryNothing is wrong with movies, its like saying there is something wrong with communicating, or storey telling. Its a tool, so neutral, but the content being relayed might have harmful consequences, and so the content can cause wrongs.
However the same rules that apply to movies should apply to free speech. Whatever one can exhibit legally, they should be able to show to as many people as are willing to watch.
To that end some people say the content can be damaging and we should limit what movies can be made.
Arguments against types of moviesThey say it can corrupt people, kids might see, and they themselves don't want to see it. So it should be banned.
The case against banning movies?Censorship is futile
Imported Censorship
Fantasy & realityThere is difference between fantasy & reality. Violence in movies is ok, because it's not real; no-one suffered as a result from shooting that guy in the head, there were no tears shed over his death, no kids left without a father, he was a virtual character in a virtual world. Not real! HypocrisyHow come the censors are not depraved by the very same images they seek to prevent us from watching? From what I remember growing up it seemed that age ratings were designed more to protect adult's prejudices and embarrassments, what children should or shouldn't do, than what actual children were able to safely watch. ResponsibilityWho's responsibility is censoring 'bad' things?
CausalityImitationIf the Superman movie had affected us as kids, we'd all be trying to jump of buildings in an attempt to fly! Chicken or eggJust because some violent kids also watch movies, does the violent kid watch violent movies or do violent movies make violent kids? Knife and gun crimes existed way before movies.The point is? StatisticsIt's a triumph of "common sense" over logic and observation that people can still ARGUE a product which millions of people consume MUST be the cause of isolated instances of violence Why is it, in that case, that violent crime has been down across Western countries for the past 20 years at an appreciable level if movies affect children adversely? Producer level censoring
Parent or self censorship

Silken Dreams
Errata available:
Silken Dreams was born of love, designed to compliment my daughter's pure, simple beauty on her wedding day. Natural spun silk provides a shimmering backdrop for the thousands of tiny glass beads that sparkle on alternating welts and gather in tiny pools at the back of the collar. The structure, length and drape of the coat allow it to glide gracefully over the train of a wedding gown. But you need not wait for a momentous time in life to enjoy this supple, flowing Swirl—a garden party, night on the town or any special day will do.

Mihaela "Mimi" Cosa: Woman wading at Jacksonville Beach describes being bitten by shark
JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. - - A 44-year-old woman wading in thigh-deep water at Jacksonville Beach Tuesday morning was bitten on the foot by a shark.
Mihaela "Mimi" Cosa, who was at the beach with her mother, was bitten just before 11 a.m. near 34th Avenue South. She was taken to Baptist Medical Center Beaches, where she was treated and received 21 stitches to close her wound.
Cosa told rescuers she didn't see what bit her -- she just felt something bite and shake her foot. She said it felt like knives slicing through her foot. Medical personnel later confirmed the injury was from a shark bite.
Video for mobile users: http://bit.ly/1g8c5hD
Stitches on foot for shark bite "I was just standing, and I felt the bite, and it didn't want to let go," Cosa said. "I don't know how big it was, but I felt that he didn't want to let go.
"I finally turned and I lifted up and I saw the skin hanging."
Cosa said she was able to flag down beachgoer Frank Costantini, whose dog "Ozzie" was splashing nearby. He helped her out of the water and called 911.
"I thought it was a jellyfish or sea urchin or something like that, typical, but once she pulled it out of the water it appeared to be a pretty bad shark bite," said Costantini. "It was pretty nasty, actually. Maybe 6-8 inches in radius.
"I'm not a fisherman, so I don't know how big of a shark that translates to, but probably at least 3-4 feet. Pretty severe wound."
Blood on beach Cosa's bloody footprints could be seen in the sand for a while after she had been rushed to the hospital.
Costantini, who lives just a few hundred feet from the shore, said what he saw Tuesday was unlike anything he's ever seen.
"I'm in the water every day, surfing or boogie (boarding), just going out there swimming, playing with Ozzie," Costantini said. "It's pretty troubling, it's disconcerting when you see it in front of you. You hear about it, it's very rare, we know that. It would never prevent me from going in the water, but it still kind of shakes you up a bit."
Experts believe the shark that bit Cosa might have been a 3-4 foot dogfish shark or sandbar shark, which tend to swim in shallow water.
Cosa will have to return to the hospital later this week for a check-up. She said she still can't feel her pinky toe, which is something doctors told her could require surgery.
"I hope I don't (permanently) lose any feeling in my toes," she said. "We'll see what happens."
Cosa said she's focusing on healing now and warns others to be mindful at the beach.
"Guys, be careful out there, especially the kids, because they're helpless, they can't realize it's so close," she said.
The captain of Jacksonville Beach Ocean Rescue, Robert Emahiser, said there are some precautions you can take to stay safe.
"If you have any open wounds, we don't recommend swimming," Emahiser said. "Or if it's dark. We don't recommend swimming at night because sharks like to eat at night."
This is the first reported shark bite of the year in northeast Florida. There were three last year.
But the attack didn't deter some people from going in the water Tuesday.
Michael Kesslar said he went to the beach to try out his new surfboard.
"I've been coming to the same beach for 20 years," he said. "My whole life, I've been coming to this beach. I'm definitely going to keep coming down here. One shark attack isn't going to worry me too much."

EU to Gazprom: Stop Playing Dirty
Brussels accuses Russia's energy giant of breaching antitrust rules, potentially weakening one of the Kremlin's main foreign-policy weapons.
Brussels accuses Russia's energy giant of breaching antitrust rules, potentially weakening one of the Kremlin's main foreign-policy weapons.
Antitrust charges against the Russian energy giant would add another twist to prickly relations between Brussels and Moscow.
New energy and infrastructure deals with Islamabad are starting to flesh out both pillars of Beijing's Silk Road plans. That may not be a bad thing after all.
We can help our allies and undermine our adversaries if we get rid of this antiquated policy.
The biggest energy deal in a decade is a $70 billion bet that the world is indeed entering the "Age of Gas."
Companies far and wide are drooling over the prospect of an opening to Iran. But doubts over the nuclear deal and the future of sanctions still dampen Tehran's hopes for an early rehabilitation.
Four years after Fukushima, Tokyo is angling to get nuclear reactors back online. But dirty old coal will be doing the real heavy lifting.
The agreement reached between Iran and the P5+1 countries offers the sanctions relief that Tehran demanded. But that won't translate into a stampede of fresh investment or a gusher of Iranian oil exports anytime soon.
China's aggressive behavior in the South China Sea is alarming the Navy and prompting calls for a more vigorous U.S. response.
The U.S. pledges to accelerate cuts in greenhouse gas emissions in the hopes of prodding other countries to reach a binding, global accord later this year.

Griffen Kramer, Thousand Oaks High Quarterback, Found Dead Sunday Morning; Alcohol Poisoning Likely
Update: "David Nernberg, Friend of Kramer, Arrested for Involuntary Manslaughter."
Griffen Kramer, an 18-year-old senior at Thousand Oaks High, died this Halloween weekend. He was found lifeless yesterday at a friend's house in Agoura Hills after spending Saturday night there, according to the Ventura County Star.
His dad, Erik Kramer, is a football great who played on various NFL teams from 1987 to 1999; the younger Kramer had followed in his dad's footsteps as a backup quarterback for the Thousand Oaks school team.
The Chicago Bears Tweeted their condolences to Erik, the team's former quarterback, this morning:
Though the L.A. County Sheriff's Department and coroner have not declared an official cause of death yet -- and toxicology tests can take weeks -- high-school officials announced in a statement to the Star that "initial indications suggest his passing was due to alcohol poisoning."
A sentimental Chicago Tribune story on Erik Kramer from 1997 featured young Griffen as its starring lede:
To Griffen Kramer, like most 3-year-olds, nothing is for keeps. Hide-and-seek takes on infinite proportions, for example, and seeing mommy or daddy walking out the door suggests a scary permanence."Every time I leave in the morning," Griffen's father Erik laughed last week, "he acts like I'm going for good."
Hard as it is to figure out the inner workings of a toddler's tender psyche, however, Erik knows where young Griffen is coming from, for a sense of permanence is ever-elusive for most professional athletes. Even more for someone who has aspired to be the starting quarterback for the Bears over the last few years.
Little Kramer showed a lot of promise early on. Here's a video someone apparently posted to YouTube about Kramer's Pop Warner career and filling his dad's huge footsteps:
Strangely, Kramer is the second young Agoura Hills man to die unexpectedly in the past week. Agoura Hills High graduate Josh Feinberg just committed suicide in Malibu last Wednesday. "I swear when it rains, it pours!" Tweeted one local resident this morning. "RIP to the homie Griffen Kramer. You're gone, but never forgotten. My heart goes out to his family."
Did you know Griffen Kramer? Does this seem out of character? Please share below.

Researchers at the University of Melbourne analyzed the genetic health of the thylacine before it was exterminated by hunting.
The Tasmanian Tiger was hunted under a government bounty from 1888 to 1909, with the last known animal dying in captivity in 1936, a university release said Thursday.
The analysis showed the Tasmanian Tiger had the same or even less genetic diversity than its close relative, the Tasmanian Devil.
"Due to the similarly poor genetic diversity of the animals, this new data suggests that the genetic health of the Tasmanian Tiger and Devil may have been affected by the geographic isolation of Tasmania from mainland Australia approximately 10,000 to 13,000 years ago," researcher Brandon Menzies said.
Scientists made the analysis using mitochondrial DNA extracted from 14 museum specimens that were 102 to 159 years old.
"This new study confirms the relatively low genetic diversity in the Tasmanian Tiger which sadly was hunted to extinction," study co-author Marilyn Renfree said.
"We cannot bring the Tiger back to life, but at least we can continue to learn as much as possible about these iconic marsupial carnivores."

Fabulous Vintage Inspired Shower
I've been dying to try something similar to this. Using burlap, muslin, (I've even heard of people using painting tarps) you can create a sun shade for your party by just attaching the corners of the fabric with rope or twine to 4 points in your yard.

This gorgeous necklace is from dejarnette (a sponsor on Ez's blog). I think I'm in love... can you not see this with a plain white tee, skinnies, and an amazing pair of booties (uh, that's what I call boots that are short... probably not the technical term)? I can picture it now:)
Be sure to stop by creature comforts, there's so much more to enjoy!

I've Been Attacked, ya!
Basically, it's a way to support sellers on Etsy that have had few, or no sales (me). You can read all about it here on The Handmade Movement.
I'm loving this right now! I've made my first 2 sales, woo hoo!
Until tomorrow...
Sneak Peak for E's Party!
I will definitely be giving E and her guests a yummy dessert/candy buffet to snack on. This lovely display is by Details Event and Party Rental.
We will definitely be incorporating some fabulous rock candy lollipops! This pic also via Details.
I'm loving these place settings. We've already purchased some clear plates that I will be adding a personal/coordinating touch to. I'll be sure to show the before and after! This chic table setting comes from design 2 decor.
No table is ever complete without flowers. And I'm in luck, there are SO many beautiful options i'm going to have to choose from for the yellow arrangements. Loving all the different heights and containers that were used in this setting. I'm not into matchy matchy, so I think we will be going in this direction shown on fine flowers.
E wants to serve coffee and tea at her bash. I'm planning (if time permits of course) on visiting multiple vintage shops and have a collection of mismatched tea cups at the beverage table. Very "Alice in Wonderland"... not the theme of this party, but one of my favorites:)
I cannot wait to share the final product! Check back as I'll be sharing various projects and shopping trips. Enjoy!

Hello lover...
Fortunately you can have them, under the thousand dollars they might possibly cost. Just read this tutorial by Jennifer at Hope Studios.
Next mission:: finding some affordable shoes to alter into my own Louboutins...

Open for Business!
I've started with my convo boxes. I created them with the purpose in mind being dinner parties. So each little box has a question in it... stuff like "If you had the choice of any fabulously impractical car, what would it be?". You could set a box at each place setting, then have all of your guests go around the table and answer their question.
They are great conversation starters and ice breakers if you have guests that just met.
There are many more fun things I have to list so keep an eye out!
Here are a few pictures of my faves::

Need any more reasons for why Missouri needs the FairTax? Our current tax system drives jobs and trillions of dollars offshore, punishes workers, small businesses, investors, corporations and seniors. Research supports eliminating the income tax. The statistics above need to be posted in every government office in this state as a reminder of the economic failure of our current tax system, the same system that is killing American prosperity.
Every citizen of Callaway county needs to ask his or her elected official (city, county and state) to explain their position on the FairTax. Does your elected official know about the FairTax? If your elected official cannot tell you about the FairTax or cannot explain opposition to the FairTax, then ask them to attend the Callaway Citizens for FairTax meetings. Here is what they will learn about the Missouri FairTax Bill sponsored by Ed Emery and passed through the House of Representatives last year:
- It eliminates the state's 6 percent tax on personal income.
- It eliminates the state's 6.25 percent tax on corporate income.
- It lowers the economic hurdles for starting a new business.
- It replaces the current Missouri sales tax of 4.225 percent by a 5.11 percent sales tax on new goods and services.
- It does not tax purchases of used items.
- It is revenue-neutral for state and local communities.
- It effectively triples the tax base by collecting taxes from services, illegal aliens and the black market industry.
- It makes Missouri a more attractive business location than competing states.
Missouri must stop bleeding money and compliance man-hours into the broken income tax system. For more information go to MOFairTax.org and FairTax.org, or join Callaway Citizens for FairTax and work for a better future for our children.

Anyone who just had tickets for today didn't get to see Milos. They didn't get to see the 'big' matchup, although I think the match they did get to see was probably a lot more entertaining than Raonic/Tsonga would have been. They certainly got to see La Monf in full clown mode too so all was not lost.
Nadal never said he was going to play and no one should have expected him to. In fact, any reasonable person knew that his participation was highly unlikely since it was only a week after the toughest part of his season. It wasn't his fault that the media hyped up that he might come. He had just played 49 matches in four months and gotten to the finals of 8 out of the 9 tournaments he entered. I think the guy deserved a break.
