Self-Selection and Advice in Venture Capital Finance
Title: | Self-Selection and Advice in Venture Capital Finance |
Author: | Keuschnigg, Christian; Nielsen, Søren Bo |
Abstract: | In financing start-up firms, venture capitalists carefully select among alternative projects, design incentive compatible financial contracts and support portfolio companies with value enhancing managerial advice. This paper considers how venture capitalists can induce self-selection among entrepreneurial firms with different qualities by designing appropriate contracts and offering commercial support. We study the efficiency of the competitive market equilibrium with respect to the level and quality of entrepreneurship and the level of effort by entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. We also provide comparative statics results with respect to basic preference and technology parameters. Venture capital, entrepreneurship, self-selection, moral hazard. |

Worldcon Guest of Honor Speeches | ||||||||
edited by Mike Resnick and Joe Siclari | ||||||||
ISFiC Press, 309 pages | ||||||||
A review by Jayme Lynn Blaschke
Which is why I applaud Mike Resnick and Joe Siclari enthusiastically for Worldcon Guest of Honor Speeches, one of
those rare books in which the title tells prospective readers exactly what they're getting. Collected here are 31
speeches spanning the history of the World Science Fiction convention, delivered by such genre luminaries as Hugo
Gernsback, John W. Campbell, Jr., Robert A. Heinlein and Kate Wilhelm. It's not a complete representation -- the editors
are quite upfront in the introduction about their inability to secure permission to publish some of the speeches, and
difficulty in even locating tapes or transcripts of others. Still, this book is a marvelous accomplishment, capturing
such a good chunk of the history of the field between two covers. With so much of the early history of science fiction
and even fandom preserved only through oral tradition, huge blocks of that institutional memory are being lost as
participants in the Golden Age tragically die off. This book preserves a tiny portion of that knowledge base.
Interestingly enough, reading the earliest speeches clearly illustrates that things haven't really changed all that much
between then and now.
E.E. "Doc" Smith's address at the second Worldcon in New York not only tackles the "fantasy vs. science fiction" debate, but
also casts congoers as Slans, being inherently forward-thinking and misunderstood by those who don't
read "scientifiction" (and by extension, attend SF
This is a fun book, but more importantly, this is a necessary book, one that preserves the all-too-rapidly fading history
of the science fiction community. Some parts are fascinating, some dry and others stale with age, but the editors must be
commended for every single part of the whole so that they are inspired to round up those
stray speeches not included here and publish a companion volume.

There have been rocks, BBs, something being thrown/shot at cars along this stretch. I hope this wasn't a casualty from a window being shattered and that the CHPs will look at it closely.

Broken Glass,
I have never heard that about that stretch of 680 south. Are we talking about Andrade Road area?

It was on the news yesterday morning. The reporter said ten cars had been hit and reported broken glass over a period of several days. When I talked to CHPs about my car being hit by a rock (quite visible in the driver's side windshield), the officer indicated they thought there were kids in the area (I was on Pleasanton Sunol Rd. which runs along and very close to 680) possibly with sling shots. My glass did not break, but it was very alarming. I figured stopping to look for someone would only make me a target. I could be linking A to Z with nothing in the middle, but it does make me wonder.

Michael, nice thought. Have you checked out this town lately? The parents not only let their kids run without leashes at all but they are the ones who provide the booze and drugs. Did you read about the wonderful parents in Ruby Hill who not only provided the goods for several hundred of their kid's closest friends -- they charged an admission fee to the party? Yeah, the P-town parents really care what their kids ard doing. Not.

Warnings to Marquette students after sex assault, robbery near campus
MILWAUKEE - Marquette University students are being warned to be aware of their surroundings at all times after a sexual assault and armed robbery near the campus.
A suspect has been arrested after the sexual assault happened Saturday night near North 21st and West Wells Streets.
Officials say the student, a woman, was walking alone when a man grabbed her.
Police said they were investigating the armed robbery which happened just a couple hours later near the corner of North 19th Street and West Kilbourn Avenue.
Both crimes happened in off-campus areas where students live.
The university says that if people are following you, cross the streets, head for a well-populated, well-lit area and contact Marquette's Department of Public Safety using a "blue-light phone." There are more than 300 of them on and near the campus.

Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract/Summary
Colonization by alien species poses one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity1. Here I investigate the colonization by marine organisms of drift debris deposited on the shores of 30 remote islands from the Arctic to the Antarctic (across all oceans) and find that human litter more than doubles the rafting opportunities for biota, particularly at high latitudes. Although the poles may be protected from invasion by freezing sea surface temperatures, these may be under threat as the fastest-warming areas anywhere2 are at these latitudes.

Topic: 2014 elections
Dem Majority in Greater Peril Than the NRA
There's no doubt liberals will read the cover story of the latest issue of The New Republic with delight. The piece, titled "This is How the NRA Ends" by Alec MacGillis, claims the failure of Congress to pass any gun control measures this year despite the way advocates were able to successfully exploit the Newtown massacre was misleading. The article is filled with breathless accounts of how families of gun violence victims and other activists have joined forces to create what the magazine terms a viable grass roots rival to the National Rifle Association.
TNR predicts the pressure these groups are exerting as well as the financial clout of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Super Pac — which is already spending big on ads criticizing those senators that opposed the Manchin-Toomey amendment on background checks for gun purchases — has permanently altered the equation on the issue. Not only does the piece predict that another background checks bill will eventually succeed in this session of Congress but seems to predict that this alleged sea change will expose NRA's vaunted influence as being based on an illusion.
But the problem with this thesis is easily exposed in Michael Scherer's TIME magazine column on Bloomberg's targeting of the four Democrats who opposed Manchin-Toomey. Democrats like Mark Prior of Arkansas and Mark Begich of Alaska are in the mayor's well funded cross-hairs right now but the impact of this campaign won't win any new votes for background checks or the more far-reaching proposals to ban various types of weapons that the gun control movement will try to implement if that more moderate measure is ever passed. As Scherer rightly points out, attempts to replace those senators with Democrats who will promise to vote for restrictions will only result in victories for the Republicans in November 2014 that could tip the balance in the Senate back to the GOP. If anything, the long-term impact of Bloomberg's efforts will make gun legislation even less likely to pass in the future.
Who's Got the Edge in 2014?
Ever since the November election, Democrats have been talking big about 2014. The odds are always against the party that controls the White House in a midterm, but after President Obama's smashing victory and the surprising Democrat gains, especially in the Senate, optimism about the next Congressional election has reigned in the White House as well as liberal opinion columns.
But the decision of yet another incumbent Senate Democrat in a red state to forgo a shot at re-election earlier this week ought to put something of a chill on liberal triumphalism. While, as the 2012 election illustrated, all assumptions about who has the edge in a battle for control of Congress are bound to be upset by developments that neither pundits nor party leaders can foresee, the odds against the Democrats next year are getting longer, not shorter.
South Dakota's Tim Johnson was the fifth Democrat to announce he would be leaving the Senate at the end of 2014 and immediately put his seat in play. He joins Carl Levin, Frank Lautenberg, Tom Harkin and Jay Rockefeller among those exiting the arena. Of the five, only Lautenberg's seat could be said to be safe for the Democrats. Neither of the two Republicans not running for re-election—Saxby Chambliss and Mike Johanns—is leaving their seats in jeopardy for their party. When you add these changes to the existing lineup in which Democrats will be defending 21 seats next year (including a number of red state seats whose incumbents were the beneficiaries of Barack Obama's 2008 coat tails) as opposed to the GOP's 14, it's much easier to chart a path to a Republican-controlled Senate in 2014 than it is to imagine another big year for the Democrats.

Before Landau, Presiding Judge, Deits, Chief Judge, and Wollheim, Judge.
Petitions for reconsideration allowed; former opinion withdrawn; affirmed on appeal and cross-appeal.
Respondents Platt Electric Supply, Inc. (Platt), and Adolph's Electric (Adolph's) petition for reconsideration of our decision in Platt Electric Supply, Inc. v. JC Northwest, Inc., 157 Or App 79, 967 P2d 924 (1998), arguing that our opinion is based on an incorrect understanding of the sequence of relevant events. We allow the petitions, withdraw our former opinion and dispose of the parties' contentions as follows.
In Platt, we held that, because the Polk County Housing Authority (PCHA) had declared an emergency before awarding a contract on a public housing project, it was excused from bond requirements to which public contracting agencies ordinarily are subject. Platt and Adolf's contend that our opinion incorrectly assumed that PCHA declared an emergency before it awarded the contract. In actuality, they contend, PCHA awarded the contract first and declared an emergency afterwards, apparently intending its declaration to have retroactive effect. According to Platt and Adolph's, because the emergency declaration occurred after the contract award, it can have no legal effect.
In its brief, Platt represented the undisputed facts to include a chronology that placed the declaration of an emergency before the contract award:
"1. In 1993 Polk County put out for bid the Independence Duplexes project * * *.
"2. Polk County is the owner of the property on which the project was to take place and the public agency which let the project.
"3. In response to its first solicitation for bids, Polk County did not get any bids from contractors financially able to provide a performance and payment bond that would protect Polk County and subcontractors from failures by the general contractor to perform or to pay subcontractors and material suppliers.
"4. Polk County elected not to rebid the project and instead declared an emergency in order to avoid requiring the general contractor to post a bond to protect Polk County from nonperformance by the general contractor and from payment claims by any supplier or subcontractor working on the project.
"5. Cole Chaney, Inc. (Chaney) was awarded the project and was not required to post a bond.
"6. Chaney subcontracted with Adolph's Electric (Adolph's) to do the electrical work required to perform the Project. Platt contracted with the subcontractor, Adolph's, to provide materials and supplies to Adolph's for the performance of its electrical subcontract with the general contractor, Chaney, on the project.
"7. Chaney defaulted and failed to pay various subcontractors who then, in turn, did not pay various material suppliers.
"8. Adolph's was one of the unpaid subcontractors * * *.
"9. Platt was one of Adolph's unpaid suppliers * * *."
(Citations omitted.) Platt then argued that, notwithstanding the declaration of an emergency, PCHA remained liable, because it had failed to obtain a bond from Chaney. According to Platt, the declaration of an emergency did not relieve PCHA of its liability for failing to post a bond:
"Polk County did not require Chaney to post a bond. It knew Chaney was not financially strong enough to post the bond that was normally required as indicated in its resolution waiving 'the requirement of a performance bond on account of such emergency, pursuant to ORS 279.029.' Instead, it took a chance on Chaney. It declared an emergency pursuant to ORS 279.029(5) thereby waiving the bond requirements of the public contracting statutes.
"* * * * *
"Where the public agency, in this case Polk County, declares an emergency and waives the bond requirements, the public agency and the officers authorizing the contract take a risk [of joint liability]."
Thus, as posed by Platt, the issue before us was whether the declaration of emergency had the effect of relieving PCHA of joint liability for failing to obtain a bond. Adolph's, although joining in Platt's contention that PCHA was liable for failing to obtain a bond, did not join in that particular argument.
We took the facts as represented by Platt and held that, under ORS 279.025(5), the declaration did have the effect of excusing PCHA from obtaining a bond and from any liability for failing to do so. Platt, 157 Or App at 83. Now Platt argues that we misunderstood the sequence of events. According to Platt, although a declaration of emergency may have the effect of relieving a public agency of obtaining a bond, in this case it does not have that effect, because the declaration of emergency did not take place until after the contract award.
We certainly did misunderstand the sequence of events. We understood them to be as Platt had represented them in its statement of facts and in its arguments. Nevertheless, careful examination of the record does reveal that the emergency declaration followed the contract award. Ultimately, it is the court's obligation to examine the record to determine the extent to which the parties have correctly represented the facts. Accordingly, we allow the petitions for reconsideration and determine whether the facts as we now correctly understand them require affirmance of the trial court's judgment holding PCHA liable to Platt and Adolph's because it failed to require a bond of the general contractor, which failed to pay for work performed on a public housing project.
We must first determine whether PCHA's contract with Chaney was governed by the provisions of ORS chapter 279. ORS 279.011 provides the following definitions that are relevant to the questions at issue:
"(6) 'Public contract' means any purchase, lease or sale by a public agency of personal property, public improvements or services other than agreements which are for personal service.
"(7) 'Public agency' or 'public contracting agency' means any agency of the State of Oregon or any political subdivision thereof authorized by law to enter into public contracts and any public body created by intergovernmental agreement.
"(8) 'Public improvement' means projects for construction, reconstruction or major renovation on real property by or for a public agency. 'Public improvement' does not include emergency work, minor alteration, ordinary repair or maintenance necessary in order to preserve a public improvement."
ORS 279.015 provides that the bidding requirements of the chapter shall apply to "all public contracts," except for those specifically exempted by ORS 279.015. PCHA makes no argument that its contract with Chaney fits within any of the exemptions specified in ORS 279.015.
ORS 279.029 provides for the award of contracts by public contracting agencies to the lowest responsible bidder. ORS 279.029 further provides:
"(4) The successful bidder shall:
"* * * * *
"(b) If the contract is for a public improvement, execute and deliver to the public contracting agency a good and sufficient bond, to be approved by the public contracting agency, in a sum equal to the contract price for the faithful performance of the contract. In lieu of a surety bond, the public contracting agency may permit the successful bidder to submit a cashier's check or certified check in an amount equal to 100 percent of the contract price.
"(5) In cases of emergency, or where the interest or property of the public contracting agency probably would suffer material injury by delay or other cause, the requirement of furnishing a good and sufficient bond for the faithful performance of any public contract may be excused, if a declaration of such emergency is made and concurred in by all members of the governing board of the public contracting agency."
ORS 279.542 provides:
"If the contract is one for which a bond, cashier's check or certified check as provided for in ORS 279.029 is required and the contractor fails to pay for labor or materials * * * and the officers of the public body which let the contract fail or neglect to require the person entering into the contract to execute the bond, cashier's check or certified check:
"(1) The State of Oregon and the officers authorizing the contract shall be jointly liable for the labor and materials used in the prosecution of any work under the contract, * * * if the contract was entered into with the State of Oregon.
"(2) The public body and the officers authorizing the contract shall be jointly liable for the labor and materials used in the prosecution of any work under the contract * * * if the contract was entered into on behalf of a public body other than the state."
The trial court concluded that the contract between PCHA and Chaney was a public
contract for purposes of ORS chapter 279, that a bond was required pursuant to ORS
279.029(4), and that PCHA had failed to obtain a bond and therefore was liable under
On appeal, PCHA first argues that it is not a "public contracting agency" or
"public agency" as that term is defined in ORS 279.011(7) and thus is not subject to ORS
chapter 279 at all. We do not reach the merits of PCHA's argument because it has
formally admitted that it is not a "public agency" or "public contracting agency" for
purposes of ORS chapter 279. In its answer to plaintiff's complaint, PCHA "admits that it
is the public agency which let the project and declared an emergency pursuant to ORS
279.030(5) [sic: 279.029(5)]."(1) Given that admission, PCHA cannot argue that it is not a
public agency for purposes of ORS chapter 279.
PCHA next argues that ORS 456.122 exempts housing authorities from the
public contracting requirements of ORS chapter 279. ORS 456.122 provides:
"Unless specifically provided, no law with respect to the acquisition,
operation or disposition of property by other public bodies applies to a
housing authority."
However, PCHA does not explain how putting a public contract out for bid, then entering
into a contract for the construction of a public improvement, is "the acquisition, operation
or disposition of property." PCHA relies on a 1979 letter of advice from the attorney
general's office regarding remodeling of a building, which concluded that "operation * * *
of property" under ORS 456.122 included remodeling because ORS 456.125(6) included
"construction, reconstruction, improvement, alteration or repair of any housing project" as
"within the 'area of operation' of a housing authority." Letter of Advice to Honorable
Charles Hanlon, Opinion Request OP-4769 (1979).
We do not find the legal analysis in that letter opinion to be persuasive.
ORS 456.125 provides, in part:
"Within its area of operation, a housing authority may:
"* * * * *
"(6) Provide for the construction, reconstruction, improvement,
alteration or repair of any housing project or any part thereof."
That statute, however, cannot fairly be read to mean that "construction, reconstruction,"
etc., are therefore "operation * * * of property" for purposes of ORS 456.122. "Area of
operation" is a term that is defined by ORS 456.060:
"As used in the Housing Authorities Law, unless the context requires
otherwise, 'area of operation' includes:
"(1) In the case of a housing authority of a city:
"(a) The area within the city;
"(b) If the city has adopted in its comprehensive land use plan an
urban growth boundary recognized by the governing bodies of the counties
in which it is situated, the area within that urban growth boundary; and
"(c) Unless a county has an existing housing authority which is
operating and substantially addressing the need for housing in the county
for persons of lower income, the area within 10 miles from the territorial
boundaries of the city, excepting any area which lies within the territorial or
urban growth boundaries of some other city which has by ordinance
prohibited such operation within the city or its urban growth boundaries
because the city finds that:
"(A) An existing public agency operating within the area is
substantially addressing the need for housing in the city for persons of lower
income; or
"(B) There is no need for housing in the city for persons of lower
"(2) In the case of a housing authority of a county, the area within
the county which lies:
"(a) Outside the territorial boundaries of any city or, if a city has
adopted in its comprehensive land use plan an urban growth boundary
recognized by the governing bodies of the counties in which it is situated,
that urban growth boundary; and
"(b) Inside the territorial or urban growth boundaries of any city
unless the city has by ordinance prohibited such operation within the city or
its urban growth boundary because the city finds that:
"(A) An existing public agency operating within the area is
substantially addressing the need for housing in the city for persons of lower
income; or
"(B) There is no need for housing in the city for persons of lower
It is clear from this definition that the "area of operation" mentioned in ORS 456.125 is
not, as the advice letter concluded, a synonym for "scope of operation," but is a reference
to the geographical area in which a housing authority may operate.
PCHA's contract required Chaney to engage in construction work and
clearly did not involve any "acquisition" or "disposition" of property by PCHA. ORS
456.122. Nor does contracting for the construction of a public improvement fall within
the common meaning of "operation * * * of property." Id. In this context, the word
"operation" generally means "planning for and operating a business or other organized
unit <the ~ of a large household >." Webster's Third New Int'l Dictionary, 1581
(unabridged ed 1993). We have found no usage of the words that suggest that "operation
* * * of property" could encompass contracting for construction of public improvements
on property. We reject PCHA's claim that it is exempt from the public contracting
requirements of ORS chapter 279 because its contract with Chaney involved the
"operation * * * of property" as that phrase is used in ORS 456.122.
Therefore, we conclude that the trial court properly held that PCHA was a
public agency subject to the requirements of ORS chapter 279 and that it was not exempt
from those requirements under ORS 456.122. Under ORS 279.029(4), PCHA was
required to obtain a bond or a check from Chaney for the contract price. It failed to do so.
As noted above, PCHA has made no argument to this court, or to the trial court, that its
retroactive declaration of an "emergency" after Chaney had defaulted and failed to pay its
subcontractors excuses it from compliance with the bond requirements set forth in ORS
279.029(4), nor do we believe that such a retroactive "emergency" is of the sort
envisioned by the legislature when it enacted ORS 279.029(5). ORS 279.011(4) defines
"emergency" as follows:
"'Emergency' means circumstances that could not have been
reasonably foreseen that create a substantial risk of loss, damage,
interruption of services or threat to the public health or safety that requires
prompt execution of a contract to remedy the condition."
Leaving aside the question of whether any "substantial risk of loss, damage, interruption
of services or threat to the public health or safety" was involved, it is clear from the
statement, "requires prompt execution of a contract," that the legislature intended the
"emergency" to be something that predates the need for the prompt execution of a
contract. PCHA's after-the-fact declaration of an emergency to excuse Chaney from
obtaining a performance bond after Chaney had defaulted on the contract and failed to
pay its subcontractors (who would normally be protected by the performance bond) is not
the type of "emergency" defined in ORS 279.011(4).
PCHA's next assignment of error, pertaining to the award of attorney fees,
rests solely on its arguments that it was not liable to the subcontractors under ORS
279.542. Because the trial court correctly concluded that PCHA was liable to the
subcontractors under ORS 279.542, the trial court also correctly awarded attorney fees to
Finally, PCHA assigns error to the trial court's failure to separately address
Platt's alternative quantum meruit claim. Because it does not appear from the record that
PCHA raised this issue in the trial court, we do not address it in the first instance on
appeal. ORAP 5.45(2).
We next turn to Platt's cross-appeal. Platt had a claim for breach of contract
against Adolph's, and a stipulated judgment was entered on that claim. In determining
Platt's attorney fees, the trial court apportioned them between defendants, rather than
finding that defendants were jointly and severally liable for all attorney fees. Platt argues
on appeal that where the claims share common issues and both defendants are liable for
the same damages, the trial court may not apportion attorney fees between defendants.
PCHA responds that the trial court's approach to this issue was reasonable. Both parties
argue that our decision in High Tech Diesel, Inc. v. Littleton, 127 Or App 242, 872 P2d
984 (1994), supports their respective positions.
In High Tech, the plaintiff recovered attorney fees under the terms of a
contract for work it had performed on a truck. Id. at 244. The defendant counterclaimed
on the ground that a lien that the plaintiff had taken was invalid. The plaintiff prevailed
on both the claim and the counterclaim, and the trial court awarded attorney fees on both
the claim and the counterclaim. On appeal, the issue was whether the plaintiff was
entitled to attorney fees for defending against the counterclaim. We held that it was not.
We rejected the argument that attorney fees were recoverable on both the claim and the
counterclaim on the ground that there were "issues common to both claims." Id. at 245
(quoting Greb v. Murray, 102 Or App 573, 576, 795 P2d 1087 (1990)). We concluded
that, although the property dispute was common to both the claim and the counterclaim,
the legal issues on the lien claim and the action on the debt were separate and
independent of one another, and therefore the plaintiff was not entitled to attorney fees for
defense of the counterclaim. Id.
High Tech supports what the trial court did here. Platt's claim against
Adolph's was based on a contract between Platt and Adolph's and, although that claim did
involve the same underlying damages, it was entirely separate from Platt's statutory claim
against PCHA. The theories of liability were entirely different, and the success of one
claim was not dependent in any way on the success of the other. Under those
circumstances, the trial court's segregation of attorney fees for the different claims was
Petitions for reconsideration allowed; former opinion withdrawn; affirmed
on appeal and cross-appeal.
1. Similarly, in response to Adolf's cross-claims against it, PCHA admitted that the "public agency that let the project declared an emergency pursuant to ORS 279.030(5) [sic: 279.029(5)]." PCHA, in its response to plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, specifically did not contest that plaintiff had supplied materials "in performance of this public contract."

President Richard Nixon, First Lady Pat Nixon and Henry Kissinger (in the foreground) dine with Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai in Hung-chiao. The U.S. began re-establishing diplomatic relations with China during Nixon's tenure, and he was the first president to visit the communist nation while in office.
Did you know?
The American Ping-Pong team travelled to China before President Nixon. On a special invitation from their Chinese counterparts, the team got a weeklong tour of the country in 1971--making them the first official delegation of Americans allowed into China since the Communist takeover in 1949.

Manatawny Creek Winery's monthly e-letter generally offers some interesting tidbits, and November's was no exception. The winery, if you're
unfamiliar with it, is east of Harrisburg and west of Reading, with a mailing address of Douglassville. Joanne Levengood is one of the state's handful of female winemakers, and the winery carries a reputation of producing drinkable reds and whites that win their share of awards.The winery is a member of the Berks County Wine Trail.
Just to steal a couple updates, this one on wine releases:
The new Winter Warmth is out and warming up the neighborhood. This ever-popular, sweet red wine is infused with cinnamon, orange peel and allspice and will be available only through the holidays. As you Gewurztraminer lovers know, we've been sold out of our Gewurz for awhile, but are hoping to get the 2012 vintage bottled and released before the holidays – will keep you updated about that one. Also, we are releasing the 2010 Pinot Noir on November 15th. We don't have very much and it is very good, so get it while you can because it won't last until Christmas.
And another, on the 2012 vintage:
Harvest finished on October 15th, 3 days after we had a killing frost. This is what a Cabernet Franc vine looks like after a hard frost – makes the grapes very easy to pick! The quality of the grapes was very good this year – I just wish we had more of them! All of the red wine grapes that got picked at the very end of the season including the Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Syrah has finished fermenting and been put to bed in oak barrels (see picture above).
And, finally, an answer to its monthly question, this one on decanting:
What is decanting, when is it necessary, and how is it done? Decanting is simply separating the liquid wine from solids that have developed in the bottle over time. It is necessary to perform on old wine and on vintage port. As wine ages, large molecules are formed and precipitate out, leaving sediment. How old is old? Depends on the wine, but a good way to tell if decanting is needed is to gently lift the bottle out of the wine rack and see if any sediment has formed on the side of the bottle with a flashlight. In the case of vintage Port, the wine is bottled very young, with the expectation that a lot of sediment will form and the Port will be decanted. Before decanting, it is best to stand the bottle upright for at least a day or two to allow the sediment to fall to the bottom of the bottle. Holding a light source, like a flashlight or traditionally a candle, at the neck of the bottle, the wine should be poured slowly into a decanter until the sediment can be seen at the neck of the bottle. If you are cheap like me, you can pour the remaining sludge through a piece of cheesecloth or a coffee filter to get every last drop.

WindShare is a for-profit wind power co-operative that was officially launched in February 2002 in Toronto, Canada. It was created by the non-profit Toronto Renewable Energy Co-operative (TREC) which was incorporated in 1998. TREC continues to exist as a separate non-profit entity.[1][2][3][4][5]
WindShare's ExPlace wind turbine was erected on December 18, 2002, on the grounds of Exhibition Place, in Toronto. It was the first wind turbine installed in a major North American urban city centre.[6] and the first community-owned wind power project in Ontario.[7]
The 91-metre (299 ft) tall ExPlace wind turbine is co-owned by the WindShare co-operative and Toronto Hydro, and annually adds an average of 1000 MWh of electricity to the city's main power grid.[8]
WindShare and its parent, the Toronto Renewable Energy Cooperative (TREC), have plans for more wind turbines. As of March, 2010 these plans are called "The Lakewind Project." (See below)
- 1998 - Toronto Renewable Energy Co-operative (TREC) was incorporated
- 1999 - TREC received a grant to study three potential sites for an urban wind turbine project in Toronto.[9]
- June 30, 1999 - TREC forms ad hoc partnership with Toronto Hydro to build wind turbine(s)[10][11]
- February, 2002 - WindShare co-operative officially launched. (Members of non-profit TREC are asked to also become members of the for-profit WindShare co-operative.)
- December 16–18, 2002 - WindShare's ExPlace wind turbine erected
- January 23, 2003 - ExPlace turbine began generating electricity
- 2006 - The government of Ontario introduced a feed-in tariff (renewable energy payments)
- February 23, 2009 - Ontario Green Energy Act 2009 introduced in the Ontario legislature
- March, 2009 - The government of Ontario revises feed-in tariff
Specifications of Ex Place turbine[edit]
- Exact location (coordinates): 43°37′49.5″N 79°25′29.3″W / 43.630417°N 79.424806°W
- Model: 750 kW, direct drive, Lagerwey Wind model LW 52 wind turbine
- Height: Total 91 m (299 ft), or roughly 30 storeys; tower 65 m (213 ft)
- Weight: approximately 121,000 kg (266,759 lb)
- Rotor diameter: 52 m (171 ft)
- Blades: three blades, each 25 m (82 ft) in length
- Rotation: maximum approximately 24.5 rpm
- Power Output: range of 625 - 650 kilowatts at 12 m/s (871 electrical hp) in winds of 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph) to 12 knots (22 km/h; 14 mph)
- Cost: approximately CAD$1.8 million (including foundation, interconnect, and erection)
Lakewind Project[edit]
Lakewind Power Co-operative Inc. (incorporated before June 25, 2008) is a sustainable energy development entity consisting of two Ontario co-operatives: Countryside Energy Co-operative, and TREC-Windshare 2 Co-operative.[12]
The Ontario Power Authority's Feed-In Tariff (FIT) program is now in place as the most generous renewable energy support program in North America (See Green Energy Act 2009, and Ontario Power Authority "Standard Offer Program" (SOP) for Wind Energy Projects ). TREC is moving ahead with ambitious generation development plans. Building on the experience from the WindShare co-operative's Exhibition Place wind turbine project, TREC has submitted a FIT contract application for a 20-megawatt (MW) wind farm project called Lakewind. TREC has incorporated Lakewind Power Co-operative Inc., a for-profit co-operative of Ontarians that will develop and own the project near the village of Bervie, just east of Kincardine, Ontario. The Lakewind project will be the largest co-operatively owned, wind power project in Canada and pending a successful FIT application, is expected to be generating power in the spring of 2012.[13]
If awarded a FIT contract, WindShare hoped to be looking for investors by the summer of 2010.[14]
Ontario's feed-in tariff program[edit]
Ontario introduced a feed-in tariff in 2006, and revised it in 2009,[15] which in a draft proposal increases from 42¢/kWh to 80.2¢/kWh for micro-scale (≤10 kW) grid-tied photovoltaic projects.[16][17] Ontario's FIT program also includes a tariff schedule for larger projects up to and including 10MW solar farms at a reduced rate. (See Ontario Power Authority "Standard Offer Program" (SOP) for Wind Energy Projects and Ontario Power Authority Feed-in Tariff program for renewable energy)

Wood Bathroom Vanities
Explore your options for wood bathroom vanities, and get ready to add a classic and elegant vanity to your bath space.
By: Sean McEvoy
Wood bathroom vanities are available in a wide range of styles and finishes, and they can add an attractive and efficient element to your bathroom design.
If you're considering adding a wood bathroom vanity to your bath space, you'll first want to decide if you want to match the overall design of the bathroom exactly or if a slight style departure is in the cards. If you're looking for an exact match, wood bathroom vanities are available for just about any bathroom design style—from Colonial to Victorian to midcentury modern. Online or brick-and-mortar antique dealers are a good place to start if you're looking for an authentic antique or vintage vanity, whereas you can probably find a replica in just about any style at the local home improvement or furniture store.
Many varieties of wood are used for bathroom vanities, from cherry and oak for a range of design styles to pine for a more rustic vanity style. Mahogany, ebony and other more exotic woods are not uncommon, but they're pricier than more commonly available woods.
In terms of stains, finishes and paints, you'll have a wide range of choices for your wood bathroom vanity. Depending on the overall style of your bathroom and your desire to match or depart from it, you may want to consider a bold, bright paint color or stain, or you may choose an unfinished, raw-wood look for your vanity if a more country or rustic style suits your taste.

Publishers Weekly
10/07/2013Rock-ribbed Americanism confronts communism abroad and liberalism at home in this conservatives' chronicle of post-war history. Schweikart and Dougherty (A Patriot's History of the Modern World, Vol. I) continue their account of how an "American exceptionalism" based on Christianity, private property, common law, and free markets shaped the world. Their narrative is equal parts glory and gloom, as America leads the capitalist democracies to victory over the communist bloc in the Cold War only to be undermined by a degenerate welfare-state socialism pushed by domestic progressives advocating "the soft slavery of entitlements and the silver shackles of government support." The authors' sweeping panorama takes in war, geopolitics, economics, culture, and sexual mores, all filtered through a staunchly conservative viewpoint spiced with polemical digressions on global warming alarmism, diet fads, and other topics. Their critique of left-liberal historiography is spirited—a discussion of Soviet spies in the United States is particularly revealing—but their platform is clear, as when they repeat claims about John Kerry's Vietnam service and Barack Obama's birthplace. The result is a history dear to the right-wing audience. (Dec.)

I love the design of the dog tag. However, I am disappointed that the personalization chipped the first day we used the tag. The Tennessee logo is already half chipped away. Although I love the tag, I will not purchase another to have the personalization peel off right away. After all- the personalization is the only reason we bought the tag!

I'm a 21 years old photojournaliststudent from Norway. I will be making a trip to Jerusalem from the 26th of March to the 30th. I want to make a photo essay/reportage about one of the most important ceremonies in Jewish culture. Brit Milah (or a bris) is a religious ceremony within Judaism that welcomes infant Jewish boys into a covenant between God and the Children of Israel through ritual circumcision performed by a Mohel. Does anyone happen to know a Mohel (a person who performs circumcision)? If so, can you please share some contact info.
Feel free to comment on my idea.

LONDON (Reuters) - Over 6,000 people have applied for mortgages under the British government's Help to Buy scheme in its first three months, which if approved would amount to 910 million pounds in loans, Prime Minister David Cameron announced on Thursday.
Presented by the government as a bold policy to help aspiring home-owners gain a foothold on the property ladder while stimulating house-building, the scheme has raised concerns among critics that it could fuel a property bubble.
"In less than three months, the scheme has already helped thousands of people. I want to see that continue in 2014 and for Help to Buy to help thousands more realise their dream of home ownership," Cameron said in a statement.
British lenders provided 45,044 mortgages for home purchases in November, more than in any month since December 2009, data from the British Bankers Association showed last week.
The Bank of England, which collects fuller data about the British mortgage market, said in November that lenders had approved 67,701 mortgages in October, a six-year high, although still below the pre-crisis average of about 90,000.
The Bank in November unexpectedly said it was ending its own incentives for banks to provide mortgages as part of the separate Funding for Lending scheme, which would instead focus exclusively on lending to businesses.
Bank Governor Mark Carney warned in December that Britain's housing market had a history of moving "from stall speed to warp speed", and one of the BoE's biggest challenges is keeping prices under control without holding back the rest of the economy.
The Bank and economists have also been concerned that the recovery relies too heavily on household consumption.
Data last month showed UK house prices rose 5.5 percent in the year to October, with London prices 12 percent higher.
Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne, both from the Conservative Party which leads the coalition government, have dismissed concerns about Help to Buy, which they say helps people with sufficient incomes to meet monthly repayments but who cannot afford the hefty deposits demanded by banks.
But Business Secretary Vince Cable, of junior coalition partner the Lib Dems, said last week the government should review the scheme in light of changing circumstances since it was conceived.
Cable spoke of a boom in house prices which he warned risk making large parts of London affordable only for wealthy foreigners and bankers.
Barclays and Santander banks are expected to launch mortgage products supported by Help to Buy later this month, joining RBS and the Halifax unit of the Lloyds Banking Group that have been involved since the start, and other participating retail banks.

Woody shrubs alter phenology and carbon flux
Increasing temperatures and reduced snow cover duration lengthen arctic tundra growing seasons. Indirect impacts of warming, such as increasing deciduous shrub cover, may also affect growing season length. To examine the influence of deciduous shrub abundance on tundra phenology and carbon uptake, the authors compared it to another common ecosystem in the area: evergreen and grass dominated forests. They found that deciduous shrub canopies had a 10-day longer peak green season, which significantly increased carbon uptake when compared to the evergreens.
Urgent need for warming experiments in tropical forests
Tropical forests are responsible for large fluxes of carbon dioxide, more so than any other terrestrial biome, yet we know very little about how this carbon balance may change with climate change. Using a global carbon-climate model, the authors confirmed that uncertainty regarding carbon balance under climate change conditions was highest in the tropics. They called for further research into the topic and prioritized the best approaches, advocating primarily for multi-faceted research approaches. It is concluded that warming manipulation experiments in tropical forests will yield the most informative results.
Multiple stressors and stream invertebrates
Waterways around the world are facing an array of confounding stressors: high sediment loads and nutrient enrichment are adversely affecting the macroinvertebrate communities of these waterways. Global climate change is likely to modify the ecological consequences of these stressors, but the exact outcome of this modification is unknown. By simulating temperature increases in mesocosms that already had these stressors, the authors were able to find out how waterways reacted. Importantly, they found stressed waterways had a consistently stronger temperature response, or even a reversal of its direction.

Re: Kwoyt royt
The prob with new user amateur engineers is that they forget that this is a boat forum, not a car one. 90% of boat exhausts are water cooled, so steam is generated at any time the engine is running. Ask any Bukh owner - they almost universally steam when running, regardless of the ambient temperature. Moisture that condenses inside crankcases is removed in seconds by the crankcase breather system that draws everything into the inlet manifold. The milkiness that can be observed in engines is mostly generated in the rocker cover. It is very much related to lub-oil formulation and engine design, some being far more prone to it than others.
Bore glazing is very temperature dependent. Leaving an already hot engine running on tickover is far less harmful than doing the same thing to a cold one.

What do you think of the
Mammut Alugator Expert Shovel
? Share a...
Here's what others have to say...
top 3 backcountry shovels
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
thaught design for assembly, usage, and transport. Like its features, ergonomy, amount of snow carried in the blade.
Big Blade Light Build
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
We're still early in the season, but I've used this to dig out a number of beacon bags (often in hard snow) and to dig some substantial snow pits.
Loses one star for a plastic ring that cracked where the blade and handle meet. I've not returned it because the function was unimpaired. I'm pretty sure the piece was cosmetic.
Shovel is very light for the size and I love the extending handle. Your friends will be happy that you aren't digging them out with a spoon-sized blade.
Reid Pitman
Big snow mover
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Very strong and large shovel. The quality is top notch. Let me just say, this shovel is large! the blade has a hard time fitting into my packs (osprey karve 16, BD Bandit) and the handle is too long to fit into the regular slot in others (BD outlaw, Dakine pro 2, Mammut RAS 30). The shaft can be taken apart into 2 pieces which will fit but that takes up valuable space. If you know you will be digging lots of pits or use a larger pack\sling I do recommend this shovel. Its burly and light. but if your space is limited look into the Alugator Light.

I have a DAKINE Heli pro pack and Im looking for a shovel to fit the front pocket with a handle that breaks down to a max of 13 inches
Reid Pitman
This will be way too big for your dakine pack. But being able to strap the handle to the outside is handy. Check out the Black diamond transfer or BCA Bomber 2.

So im completely new to backcountry skiing and know absolutly nothing about shovels. Im wondering why it looks like there are hole in the blade and if you could recomend a good shovel that would be awesome!
Shane O'Donnell
There are holes in this blade, which is not uncommon, but seems like a bit of a bad spot in my opinion. They are suppose to serve as a dead-man rigging anchor, for rescuing a partner. A really good shovel design in my mind is the Black Diamond shovels, either the Transfer or Deploy series. Depending on how long you want or how much surface area. As you are a beginner, I would recommend the longer, bigger blade of the Transfer 7 shovel.
Jack Thomson
Its also awesome for making a bombproof emergency evacuation sled.
Reid Pitman
the Mammut shovels are tough, this one is very large though. long handle shaft and blade is massive. Very solid. I prefer the BCA shovels overall. Tough and light.
Matthew Tabrys
pretty sweet
this shovel is pretty sweet, and mammut added some really nifty features to make this top notch. it is all aluminum so you know it will be lightweight and durable. it has a d-grip handle for comfort and ease of use. The coolest part is that blade and shaft have special designed button so that there is no need to take off your gloves to depress the button to set it up. it slides right in. great time saving feature, when you need to dig in emergency situations. great shovel overall, and nice size blade too. definitely take a look at this one.

Fabrication Process of 3D-photonic crystals via UV-Nanoimprint Lithography | |
Authors: | T. Glinsner, P. Lindner, M. Mühlberger, I. Bergmair, R. Schöftner and K. Hingerl |
Affilation: | EV Group, AT |

Keywords: | nanoimprint Lithography, UV-NIL, 3D-Photonic Crystals, Woodpile Structure |
Abstract: | UV-based Nanoimprint Lithography (UV-NIL) offers several decisive technical advantages concerning overlay alignment accuracy, simultaneous imprinting of micro- and nanostructures and tool design. A variety of potential applications has been demonstrated by using Nanoimprint Lithography (e.g. SAW devices, vias and contact layers with dual damascene imprinting process, Bragg structures, patterned media) [1,2]. 3D-photonic crystals have been fabricated by using e-beam lithography [3] with high precision alignment stages for achieving sub-100 nm overlay alignment needed to exhibit full photonic bandgap structures for woodpile rod line width ranging from 200 nm to 400 nm. In order to increase the patterned area which is clearly restricted to about 100x100 µm in case of e-beam lithography to an area in the range of 25x25 mm UV-NIL has been selected for this application. Quartz glass templates were designed in such a way that the first layer as well as subsequent layers can be imprinted with the same stamp by rotating the stamp by 90° and a following optical alignment procedure. The alignment is performed in 3 stages using Vernier and Moiré pattern resulting in overlay alignment accuracies better than 100 nm [4,5]. Alignment marks are defined in the 0th layer by photolithography and lift-off which will be used as reference for all layers to be stacked. The template contains 16 squares (each 3x3 mm²) with elevated structures with a height of nominally 200 nm respectively 400 nm and periods ranging from 800 nm to 2400 nm (lines are ranging from 200 nm to 600 nm). After imprinting in UV-NIL resists [Figure1&2] the structures are transferred into SiO2 by dry etching techniques. Subsequently poly-Si is deposited on the sample. Then a planarization process is carried out by chemical mechanical polishing, defining a planar surface for building up the next, 90° rotated layer. Our contribution will demonstrate a concept for the fabrication of the woodpile structure as an example for 3D-structuring. Recently achieved results will be presented. |

Legislation was passed several years ago requiring
All counties to have a predisaster mitigation plan that
addresses how various agencies will react should a disaster occur. Because
of this law, FEMA is no longer mandated to give post-disaster funding to
any county without an approved plan in place.
ōPublic safety officials along with Board of Education, health department and hospital personnel as well as elected officials have been diligently working collecting data on previous natural disasters within the county,ö said Linda Grijalva, a planning and development specialist with
CSRA RDC who is writing the plan.
ōThis data will assist the planning committee in creating goals and objectives to minimize the effects of future natural disasters.
We are asking long term residents of the community to send information regarding any disaster such as floods, tornados, snow and ice storms to our office.
It is vital to the plan to have accurate data.
