At the moment, hardly a day goes by when we don't hear about property prices in the UK. The obsession with the newspapers and newsreaders mainly comes from the fact that it helps sell print and those listening via the radio and watching TV will almost certainly stop what they are doing to hear and see the figures!
The problem is that since 2000, property prices haven't performed uniformly across the UK. Some areas such as Nottingham have increased by around 100%, while others like Sevenoaks have increased by four times as much. However, prices tended to react in a similar way by county, so most properties in Nottingham went up by 100% up to 2007, while in Sevenoaks most went up by over 400%.
Since the credit crunch it's clear that local supply and demand is causing property prices to move in different directions, depending on the property type and the road it sits on. So even county trends are unlikely to reflect what's happening to your property price, it's all about a certain property on a particular street.
Lets look at an example in one of our most successful markets: London. Within the area, there are 32 different boroughs. The average price, according to the Land Registry, for a property in London is £414,000. This average though is made up of prices across London Boroughs which range from £240,000 in Newham to £1.2 million in Kensington and Chelsea. That's a five-fold difference. So hardly uniform and even taking a 'London average' is not a relevant statistic for anyone in the market for a property or keen to know what its latest value is.
Taking this analysis a stage further, I was recently presenting at a property investment seminar in London and used examples to show how different properties performed within a few roads of each other in Hackney. Why Hackney? Well this is the borough which has pretty much outperformed any other in London as far as annual property price growth since 2000. On average, London prices grow at 7% per year, whereas in Hackney they grow at 10% per year.
You would think that a successful area like this would mean any property you bought would make money.
But this is yet another average which is completely distorted when looking at what individual properties are worth on a street. One flat bought in Hackney in 2002 was purchased for just £158,000 and 10 years later sold for £178,000. Yes it had gone up, but by about 1% per year. In comparison, a three bed Victorian villa a few streets away in the same year was bought for £150,000 and, with no updating, sold for £1 million. This was a huge annual growth in value of 19% – double the borough's average.
So, average property prices and headlines from price reports are still useful for economists, politicians and the industry, but from a homeowner, buyer or investor's perspective, area averages are now pretty much irrelevant, which means the reports and especially the headlines used by the media, are also pretty useless.
What's of much more use to people is sold property price data and analysis of its history. To better understand how your local market and property are performing, visit http://www.propertychecklists.co.uk/articles/How-to-Work-out-my-Property-Market-ChecklistRead more
Profits over people in the private sector
Legal July 14, 2012
Recently a rumor has been swirling around the UK that secretary of health Andrew Lansley wants to get rid of the cap on the proportion of income that NHS institutions can earn. The cap currently sits at 49% which is seen to be a hindrance to the private sector in certain circumstances.
In the wake of such talk a debate has arisen as to the effectiveness and efficiency of the private sector. For most conservatives it is thought that the motivation of potential profits is enough to ensure that a private sector company does it's job with passion and efficiency, however this has recently been shown to be a flawed outlook.
With the Olympics coming to London there has been a great rush of activity to ready the city for the festivities. One of the most recent developments, however, has not been a good one. Security at the international event, instead of being seen to by public sector workers, was contracted to a private sector company, G4S.
As a result of the recent failure of G4S to fulfill their obligations in regards to security, it is becoming quickly obvious to a great many people that the private sectors advantages are not with the safety of the people or the efficiency with which services are carried out, but with the large profit margin and reduced risk that comes with being a private government contractor.
When it comes to the private sector versus the public sector, the differences are quite clear as even now the public is being brought in to fix what G4S has so eloquently botched. Public services do not have the same luxury that private corporations do when it comes to struggling or even complete failure; they can opt out and start all over again but the public must endure with whatever hardships come.Read more
Government reveals scheme to fund lending
Banking July 13, 2012
Government has revealed yet another plan to try to ignite the economy and have committed to providing £1 billion to be used by lenders to help them lower the cost of lending to both households and firms. It is hoped that making this money, taxpayer backed funds, will trigger a growth in the economy.
This new lending scheme has been anticipated by banks and building societies in the UK because it will enable them to trade off debt or Treasury bills that are similar to cash. There will be a small fee involved but in all, this should help to lower their costs and in turn, the borrower's cost as well.
When looking at this from a financial perspective, if a homebuyer has a deposit of 25% and is looking for a two year fixed rate mortgage, the savings would be at a rate of about almost 1%. At the moment, rates for this type of mortgage are averaged at 3.68% but with the lending scheme, those rates would probably be lowered to about 2.7%. Homebuyers with a 10% deposit should find a 1% reduction in mortgage rates down from 6% where they currently are to 5%.
The aim of government, according to the Chancellor, is to make loans and mortgages more affordable. Also, this should make them more available as lenders would be able to trade those troublesome loans for Treasury bills. Lenders will be rated quarterly and the results will be published. Information to be published will include how much volume each bank is doing and specific details of their lending schemes.
According to this new lending scheme, banks should be incentivised to increase their lending. The bottom line is that the more a bank lends, the lower their fees/rates will be. These rates will be guaranteed for up to four years and the scheme will commence on 1 August.Read more
Austerity will probably last for decades
Debt July 12, 2012
The population in the UK is ageing and as a result, cost of care is rising. The OBR states that greater spending cuts will need to take place if the national debt is to be kept under control for the long term. The independent economic forecast group further states that at the rate Britons are ageing it will be impossible to keep up with the costs, in their words, "clearly unsustainable."
They contend that if the government were able to save as much as £123 billion during the next seven years, the government would still need to raise taxes or increase spending cuts which would be equal to a little over 1pc of the GDP. In today's market, that is equal to about £17 billion annually. It would take at least this amount to bring the national debt back to where it was before the debt crisis.
However, if these figures seem grim, consider the fact that the public sector net debt could decline from 74% of the GDP which is forecast for the 2016-17 fiscal year to perhaps 57pc in the middle part of the 2020's and then by the early part of the 2060's the public sector debt will reach a level unprecedented to 89pc of the GDP. As bad as that sounds, this is a far cry better than what had been projected last year where analysts said the public sector debt at that time would be as high as 107pc of the GDP.
Last year in his autumn statement, Osborne said that he believed austerity would need to be held over at least another two years but in reality, it will be several decades before the UK can lift itself out of debt.Read more
Although the Queen's Diamond Jubilee brought a small burst of activity in the retail sector, house prices continue to fall. This appears to be indicative of the fact that the UK is still deeply mired in the double dip recession which many forecast to ongoing for at least this year.
According to RICS, the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, fewer homes are being put on the market and, in fact, the housing market remains fragile. Since there is still a great deal of consternation over the debt crisis in the EU, the market will probably continue to be sluggish. As well, since the stamp duty holiday ended a few months back fewer people have been looking for homes.
The chief economist for RICS has been quoted as saying that the market didn't turn around in the previous month and activity has remained slow. Approximately 66% of the surveyors stated that prices are not picking up and about one-fifth of surveyors reported that prices are actually dropping instead of rising.
Surveyors are also not optimistic for the coming year. During the month of May, 8pc of surveyors questioned felt that there would be a drop in prices over the next year but when questioned in June, 19pc responded that prices will continue to fall.
At the moment it is hoped that something will be done for first-time buyers to make purchasing a home easier to accomplish. Until the economy picks up again, it will probably take some form of incentive to boost sales of homes.
The news isn't totally bad however as retail sales have picked up a bit due to the Jubilee and with the upcoming Olympic Games. The next few months should also see a wider profit margin as well. Even so, this rise in retail will most likely not be enough to lift the UK out of recession.Read more
Outlook for global economy weaker than expected
Debt July 7, 2012
In a recent speech given in Tokyo, the head of the IMF stated that the outlook for the global economy is worse than expected. Christine Lagarde said that the state of affairs around the world is bleak and has extended well beyond the current crisis in the eurozone.
Not only did jobs in the United States not grow as expected, large emerging markets such as China have slowed as well. It had been forecast by the IMF back in April that 2012 would see a growth of 3.5pc whilst 2013 was projected to be at a growth rate of 3.1pc.
Unfortunately, within the past two months many global economies have stalled or deteriorated and as stated, United States and Chinese jobs creation has not met up with expectations. Within the next week or two the IMF is expected to release an assessment of growth which will have been updated to reflect these unexpected slowdowns.
Part of the basis for a reassessment is in the fact that US jobs only grew by 80,000 last month as opposed to the 90,000 which had been projected. Although it was higher than the previous month's creation of 77,000 jobs, it is much lower than had been anticipated. When large global economies do not produce as projected, this has a dire impact on economies around the world.
Given the fact that this is much lower than the pre-crisis average of monthly growth, it is believed that the US Federal Reserve will implement another stimulus package to try to give the economy there a boost. It appears as though an unexpected rise in jobs earlier in the year gave false hopes and now these new fears are rippling through global economies, especially in the UK and the eurozone.
With Germany standing strong against further help for the troubled EU and confidence down, it appears as though worries for the global economy are well founded. Spain and Italy are the two countries which are currently causing a great deal of concern in the eurozone and France is right there amongst them. Even Germany's bond yields have turned negative which will probably also be reflected in the IMF's updated assessment.Read more
After July's meeting on Thursday, the BoE announced historically low interest rates would be held at just 0.5% and that they would be injecting another £50 billion into a struggling economy. This comes at a time when the UK is already in a double dip recession and fears are growing that the recession will continue for yet another quarter or perhaps be upgraded to a full-blown recession in the months to come.
The Monetary Policy Committee acted after the Bank's Governor, Sir Mervyn King, stated in previous days that he was in shock over the state of financial affairs in Britain and how they had degenerated continually within the past half year. This was revealed during the twice-yearly Financial Stability Report which had been made public the previous week.
According to economists, the UK economy is continuing to shrink and perhaps in the best case scenario, remains flat as of the second quarter of 2012. This would mean that the final quarter of last year as well as the first two of the current year have been mired in recession and does not bode well for prospects in the near future. Although there is no actual way to define a 'depression' which can be agreed upon within the UK or in other countries, it is generally labeled as such when a country sustains a recession for at least two years in a row.
Even so, this new round of QE is not expected to provide great yields but may boost confidence a bit. The Deputy Director General of CBI states that the UK should also consider alternatives such as investing in "high grade corporate paper and bank bonds." He further contends that although this isn't the final solution, it will give a boost to some businesses during this difficult time.Read more
New figures being released by mortgage lenders indicate that the number of pensioners seeking equity release is rising significantly due to the insufficiency in their pensions. According to Just Retirement, retirees seeking this type of mortgage are from a broad scope of retired Britons who are looking to subsidize their paltry incomes.Read more

Think of a game of doubles tennis. There is a team of two players at each end of the playing court with well defined governance around how those players compete and play to win. Now imagine that same tennis court where there are say five or six players at each end and where more than one ball can be in play at any one time. But how does this game work - who provides the governance and how – and who wins the game?
So it is with social business. Consumer to consumer activity is not just changing the rules of the game – it is shaping an entirely new game.
Wherever we look, there is an increasing number of consumers who are embracing digital activity in their everyday lives. People are using social networks to find everything from train times, restaurants to friends. There is a global trend of people embracing the "now" in all how they consume products and services. Consumers are now increasingly mobile and therefore demand information on the go regarding how they socialise, shop and get entertainment.
According to a recent Nielsen survey, some 9 million Australians now interact via social networks. Content sharing is the most popular activity. In addition, some 2 in 5 Australians interact with companies via social networks.
But end users and consumers have a blunt message. The opinions of family and friends are seen as the key in providing trusted information. For example, in the recent IBM Smarter Consumer Study, some 51% of consumers surveyed said they trust their friends and relatives in their buying decisions rather than retailers or manufacturers. This represents a major shift in power.
The consumer to consumer connection has become crucial, and represents a new wave of change. Organisations like McDonalds and Starbucks have already seen this trend and are addressing it as part of their strategies.
Mobility and mobile devices represent key enablers of these changes. If the lines in front of the Apple Store for the new iPad 2 are anything to go by, devices that enable online browsing on the go are well in demand in Australia. Globally, by the end of 2011, it is expected that smart phones and tablets will overtake PC shipments. In Australia, our 3G penetration rate is at about 66% with a growth of 29% from 2009. The Smart Consumer Study referred above highlights a 70% increased in the use of mobile devices in just a six month period last year. The new personal computer, the smart phone, creates a new level of constant connectivity.
The growth in mobile is being assisted through the Social Media, but this is not just Facebook and Twitter. Other networks are readily being used as a means of finding and communicating with people. Apps and new online social networks are such as Geominium informs the user where their friends are, what events are in their area, as well as helping them discover local items of interest such as restaurants. This new wave of constant connectedness is shaping a new norm in how we communicate and interact. This is also changing how we use our mobile handsets.
A recent study highlighted that 59% of consumer mobile activity was web/web apps, games and social networking and only 27% on telephony based services such as text, skype and phone. This trend indicates that mobiles are increasingly becoming more than a means of communicating with our microworld, but is increasingly being used to communicate to the macroworld in all online spaces through various applications and social networks – and it shows no signs of slowing down!
So what does this many-to-many game mean for organisations? Three challenges are in play:
This new customer landscape of offers a unique growth opportunity for Australian companies to capitalise on this new demand and leverage it to create a sustainable competitive advantage.

Cornerback Myron Lewis is as puzzled as anyone about why his career is off to a painfully slow start with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The third-year pro battled nagging injuries that made it a struggle to get on the field the past two seasons, but he's confident he's on the verge of proving the team didn't make a mistake by drafting him in the third round. Nearly two weeks into training camp, Lewis is the healthiest he's been during an NFL preseason and is eager to take advantage of an opportunity to work with the first-team defense while starter Aquib Talib is resting a sore hamstring and key reserve E.J. Biggers is out with a broken foot. Lewis is still learning the team's new defensive scheme but is getting more comfortable each day. Just as important, he's making plays in practice and building confidence. ''I started off a little slow trying to get used to different techniques,'' he said of his transition to coach Greg Schiano's system. ''It's all about buying in, focusing and...

Using this reasoning, we don't even know that the kid existed in the first place. It might be all made up.The point was that unless u were present you dont knowI wasn't present, I'm just literate:Mr. Whatchasay wrote: »Nah the organs were removed after they discovered the body.
how u know?, were you present?• The Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which conducted the autopsy, told CNN that it returned all of the organs to the body before sending it to the funeral home for burial. Yet the funeral home director wrote in a letter to the Johnsons that he never received the organs.
Funeral home probably sold them.
a person can say anything, it can be published, u can read it, but that doesnt make it true
& if there is some black market organ scam going on, im sure theyre gonna want the organs at its earliest inception, therefore most well be paid off & will say anything to cover their involvement

How do you "slip into" a rolled gym mat?
Will Munny wrote: »I don't think the organs were sold at all. That's foolish. Nobody is gonna sell the organs from a murder.
But somebody very likely could have made them disappear to destroy evidence.
I'm late as fuck on this story. They going to run with that bull shit as the truth and they have video yet won't release it. I wonder whom they protecting the staff member or a student.

But when I upgraded it did not copy the Catalyst 9.2 driver for Vista but used the WDDM 1.1 beta driver instead as I mentioned above. The driver date is from march, so I guess it's based on fresh driver.
But as it's still beta OS you can do a new install too if you like, just up to your preference.
Note: It asks you for the key again so have your beta key ready.
Ok, up and running on my lappy no problem. If I do an upgrade from 7000 on my other machine you said it copies all settings and files, will I need to re install my programs?

Raised on the beach, with my heart in the mountains.
I was born and raised in Southern California. Moved to Flagstaff, AZ for 6 years and have been back in Southern California for the past 4 years. As my headline says, I was raised on the beach, with my heart in the mountains. For most of my life I have been captivated by mountains. There is something special about standing at a location where only few others have stood before you. I am an avid traveler and especially enjoy monthly trips to Ketchum, Idaho, where I developed this passion for climbing mountains. With all the traveling to Idaho I have been working towards my pilots license to follow both my grandfather and father's footsteps being pilots. I am also following their footsteps in being the 3rd generation to work for our family construction company. When I am not traveling I am often mountain biking the local trails in the Santa Monica/Malibu mountains, golfing with friends, offroading in my Jeep or racing my car at the track. More to come shortly..

Memphis may be the home of the blues, but the music coming out of Memphis last spring was anything but melancholy. The Grizzlies won 46 games, the third-most in a season in franchise history, won the first playoff series in franchise history, beating the San Antonio Spurs, then gave Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder all they wanted before bowing out in seven. Heading into the abbreviated 2011-12 season, the problem the Grizzlies face is a common one for teams making the kind of break out the way the Grizzlies did last year. Following up on your success now that people know who you are and meeting expectations, which naturally and unrealistically get ratcheted up. That said, Memphis has what it takes to improve on or at least come close to matching its .561 winning percentage from last year and move up from eighth place, where it finished last season (they would have been fifth in the East). They should even be able to close the gap on the perennial Southwest Divisio...

As long as Nix is in LF, not CF, I'm OK with that.

For Love of the Game
"If you aren't first; you're last"
I think the consensus is that he is a great team-builder/leader by deferring to vets and deftly managing ego's, psyche's, young players, etc... There were several times this season that the Reds could have gone south and I do believe that quality leadership was part of the reason we stayed the course. And leadership comes from the top....and it absolutely filters through Dusty.
Therefore, I think we must accept that Dusty is going to be very slow to make any drastic changes involving those vets that he invests with leading the team.
I don't think he could make a guy like OCab a focal point and then stick him on the bench come post-season.
Say what you want about how great Halladay was last night, but even for the great ones it's much more difficult to pitch with a one run lead opposed to cruising thru almost the entire game with a 4 run lead.
And it could've been prevented if he'd just paid better attention to Victorino after the double in the first.
I'm not going to defend Volquez because he didn't throw strikes early in the count and got himself into trouble on his own.With some solid defense though, he could of lasted a few more innings(not sure that would have been all that great).
Maybe I missed it, but I don't get how our starting SS could botch a fairly routine play that cost the Reds 3 runs in the Reds first playoff game in 15 year in witch only 4 runs total were scored and get a free pass around here.
I miss Adam Dunn.
I wonder how much his oblique caused him not to go to first.
Either way, I think letting Halladay get a hit off you probably ranks up there as run causing plays. Walking ruiz didn't do any good either.
Think what you wish, but what is more routine than OCs play is blowing the pitcher off the field, especially when some describe your "stuff" as being the best in the game. Add in the fact that Halladay played in the AL his whole career and it is a no brainer.

Ewing sarcoma is a cancerous tumor that grows in bones or soft tissue near bones and usually affects adolescents.
Named after Dr. James Ewing, the American pathologist who identified the cancer in the 1920s, it can develop anywhere in the body, but most commonly affects the arms, legs, ribs, spinal column, and pelvis.
Treatment for Ewing sarcoma involves a combination of chemotherapy, surgery, and/or radiation. With early diagnosis and proper treatment, many kids who develop it have a good chance of recovery.
Ewing sarcoma often goes unnoticed or misdiagnosed as growing pains (due to its subtle, gradual onset) or a sports injury because symptoms often mimic those of injuries kids can get out on the field.
Soreness at the tumor site, accompanied by swelling or warmth, is common. Pain may be worse during exercise or at night, and a tender lump may develop in the affected area a few weeks after pain begins. If the tumor grows in a leg bone, the child may have an unexplained limp. A low-grade fever also can develop.
If cancer has spread, or metastasized, to other areas of the body like the lungs or bone marrow, symptoms may appear there as well. In some cases, the first sign of the disease is a broken arm or leg that occurs for no reason at all (or after a minor accident) because the cancer has weakened the bone, making it vulnerable to a break.
A child who experiences any of these symptoms should see a doctor as soon as possible. Waiting to seek treatment or assuming that symptoms will resolve on their own without treatment may lead to a more advanced form of the disease at diagnosis.
To diagnose Ewing sarcoma, a doctor will ask for your child's medical history, perform a physical examination, and order X-rays, an MRI (magnetic resolution imaging), or bone scans to detect abnormalities in bone structure. A tissue sample of the tumor (biopsy), which is later analyzed in a lab, must be performed in order for a diagnosis to be made.
Sometimes the doctor orders a needle biopsy, using a long hollow needle to take a sample of the tumor. Alternatively, the doctor may order an open biopsy, in which a portion of the tumor is removed. These are performed in the operating room by a surgeon while a child is under general anesthesia.
If a diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma is made, the doctor will order additional imaging tests to determine if the cancer has spread to any other part of the body. Other exams will make sure that vital organs, such as the heart and kidneys, are functioning normally and able to tolerate treatment.
Once treatment begins, doctors monitor the patient and order additional imaging tests to determine how well it is working and whether the cancer continues to spread.
The course of treatment for Ewing sarcoma depends on many factors, including the size and location of the tumor and whether the disease has metastasized.
Regardless of a tumor's characteristics, every patient with Ewing sarcoma undergoes chemotherapy initially to shrink the tumor (before surgical removal or radiation) and prevent the spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body. Chemotherapy is also given after a tumor is removed to help ensure that cancer cells do not come back.
A typical course of chemotherapy lasts 6 to 9 months. Children are required to stay in the hospital for a few days during treatment, which occurs every 2 to 3 weeks. Some kids may need to be hospitalized between treatments for complications or side effects, like fever or infection. Chemotherapy drugs are delivered intravenously (through a vein).
If surgery is needed, radiation may be given to shrink the tumor before surgical removal. Radiation also may be recommended in place of surgery if the tumor's location would make surgery too dangerous or difficult. During radiation, high-energy X-rays are directed at the tumor site to kill cancer cells and keep them from growing and multiplying.
Most kids who undergo radiation don't need to stay at the hospital overnight; they usually visit the hospital 5 days a week for several weeks.
After a course of chemotherapy, and possibly radiation, most tumors are removed surgically. Tissue that is removed during the procedure may need to be replaced with a live tissue graft (from the patient's own body), donor tissue (usually from a bone bank), or artificial tissue (made from metal or other synthetic material).
If a tumor has attached itself to nerves and blood vessels, amputation (removing part of a limb along with the tumor) might be the only choice. The amputated limb will be replaced with an artificial limb, usually made from metal.
Amputation carries its own short- and long-term side effects. It usually takes at least several months until a young person learns to use a prosthetic leg or arm. Learning to cope with the psychological and social aspects takes longer, but many children find they can resume favored activities in the long run.
With a tissue graft (donor or otherwise), one usually starts moving the affected body part almost immediately. Physical therapy and rehabilitation for 6 to 12 months after surgery usually helps a child recovering from Ewing sarcoma of the leg to walk, initially with a walker or crutches, and then without assistive devices.
Early complications after surgery include infection and slow healing of the surgical wound, and the metal prosthetic device or the bank bone might need to be replaced in the long term. Other late problems might include fracture of the bank bone or failure of the bank bone to heal to the child's bone, which might require more surgery. Some kids will be limited in the types of sports they can play due to the risk of breakage.
Many chemotherapy medications also carry the risk of both short- and long-term problems. Short-term effects include anemia, abnormal bleeding, and increased risk of infection due to destruction of the bone marrow, as well as kidney, liver, or heart damage. Some drugs carry a risk of bladder inflammation and bleeding into the urine. Years after chemotherapy for Ewing sarcoma, patients have an increased risk of developing other cancers and may have difficulties with fertility.
A child with Ewing sarcoma who is diagnosed early on and does not have metastatic disease has up to a 70% chance of being cured of the cancer.
When the disease has spread, successful treatment is much more difficult. However, with the potent combination of treatments currently available — and powerful new therapies on the horizon — the outlook for kids with advanced disease is improving.

Solar Electricity Interchanged For Peak Cut Adjustment
Mitsui Fudosan Co Ltd opened "Gate Square," the core facility of "Kashiwanoha Smart City," which the company is developing in Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan, July 8, 2014.
Kashiwanoha Smart City is a project for developing the area surrounding Kashiwanoha Campus Station on the Tsukuba Express Line by building high-rise condominiums, commercial facilities, office buildings, etc. In Gate Square, there are specialty shops, offices and hotels in addition to "Kashiwanoha Smart Center," which controls "Kashiwanoha AEMS (area energy management system)." Kashiwanoha AEMS optimizes energy supply for the entire urban area.
On the roof of Gate Square, there is a solar power generation system whose output capacity is about 220kW. Also, in an "energy building" adjacent to Gate Square, there is a lithium-ion storage battery system (output: 500kW, capacity: 3,800kWh). "Lalaport Kashiwanoha," which is located across a public road, has a solar power generation system with an output capacity of about 500kW on its roof and a NaS battery system (output: 1,800kW, capacity: 11,850kWh).
In normal situations, electricity generated with the solar power generation systems is stored in the rechargeable batteries. And when the demand peaks, it is discharged and supplied to reduce the amount of electricity received from Tokyo Electric Power Co Inc (TEPCO), which is a power company.
On holidays, when the power demand of Lalaport Kashiwanoha is large, electricity stored in Gate Square's battery is transmitted to Lalaport via Mitsui Fudosan's own power transmission lines. On weekdays, when the power demand of Gate Square, where there are many offices, is large, electricity stored in Lalaport's battery is transmitted to Gate Square via the power transmission lines. As a result, the amount of electricity received from TEPCO can be reduced by up to 26%.
Because both Gate Square and Lalaport are run by Mitsui Fudosan, it is permitted to transmit electricity across the public road based on the "power interchange" scheme. However, only the generated electricity can be interchanged. Because electricity stored in the batteries include electricity from TEPCO (in case of emergency), only the amount of electricity generated with the solar power generation systems can be used for power interchange (for peak cut adjustment).
Each of the two buildings has two power receiving points for the power interchange. Due to rules set by the power company, multiple power receptions in the same area are not permitted. Therefore, for the power interchange, alternating-current (AC) electricity is converted to direct-current (DC) electricity via a "power interchange unit," and, then, it is reconverted to AC electricity.
The additional investment for the power interchange (e.g. the construction of the power transmission lines and the power interchange unit) can be made up for in less than 10 years by the reduction of the amount of electricity purchased from the power company, Mitsui Fudosan said.
Also, when the electricity from the power grid is cut off in a time of emergency, a gas engine generator with an output of about 2,000kW will start operations in Gate Square, enabling to continuously supply about 60% of the normal amount of electricity for three days.
Furthermore, in the multi-family building located in an urban area across the public road, Mitsui Fudosan installed a system that can be supplied with electricity via the power transmission lines to power emergency elevators and lamps in shared areas. The scheme of providing electricity across the public road is permitted by applying the "partial supply scheme" of the "specific power supply" system.
Mitsui Fudosan plans to further expand the development area of Kashiwanoha Smart City in the future by installing solar power generation systems. The company is considering storing the electricity generated by the additional solar systems in rechargeable batteries and supplying it to adjacent areas by using the power transmission lines, increasing the amount of electricity that can be used for peak cut adjustment.

A splendid inauguration was marred by racist prayer
There was one jarring note to the presidential inauguration, which overall was a splendid reminder of the greatness of American democracy. But the older black minister who delivered the final prayer chose to use blatantly racist and anti-white imagery.
In my heart I could not bring myself to be angry, just disappointed. After all, black leaders of his generation struggled against racism and discrimination that few today can understand. I know. I was there. I was a college student in New Orleans in the middle of the birth of the civil rights movement. In New Orleans of the early '60s racism was not just prevalent, it was overt. My wife, Sandy, was teaching in an Irish Channel Head Start program. One day she came home as angry as I have ever seen her . She had tried to take her children into a local drugstore to get sodas and was told that only the white children could go inside.
I could cite other examples but that is not my point. We have come to where we are today in terms of racial equality not only through the struggles of our black community and its leaders, but through the efforts and sacrifices of whites who also despised slavery and racism.
Consider the history of slavery. It started shortly after European explorers discovered the Americas. In order to provide cheap labor, black Africans were captured -- usually through the collusion of tribal chiefs -- sold to Arab slavers who transported them to the coast to be loaded on slave ships under the flags of many European nations as well as the United States. By the mid 19th century, the predominantly white British government dispatched the Royal Navy to stamp out the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
Unfortunately, this did not help the millions of African slaves already spread throughout the Americas. The eradication of slavery in the United States took the Civil War to accomplish. Regardless of what revisionist historians would like to believe, the Civil War was fought to eliminate slavery. No other states' rights issue could possibly have led to the carnage that was the Civil War, in which 364,000 Union soldiers gave their lives to free American slaves. This would be the equivalent of the loss of 3.64 million young men in today's U.S. The Southern casualties were even higher.
The Civil War eliminated slavery as an institution but did not solve the issue of racism and racial discrimination. This took the long struggle known as the Civil Rights movement. There were many black heroes -- from Rosa Parks to Martin Luther King to Malcolm X -- but their struggle would have been infinitely harder if they had not had the support of the large majority of the white community.
This is an appropriate time to remember the white leaders who stood beside the black community. Men and women such as Eleanor Roosevelt, John and Robert Kennedy, and in particular a "redneck" politician from humble Texas roots named Lyndon Baines Johnson. It is also time to remember that ordinary white citizens who marched alongside their black colleagues and in some cases -- the young voter registration workers murdered in Mississippi for example -- sacrificed their lives for the cause of racial equality.
The culmination of these years of struggle is now the election of our first black president, an accomplishment of which both blacks and whites should be proud. Barack Obama could not have been elected without the majority of the white vote. So when one speaks of racism, let's be clear that to label all whites as racist is to deny the clear evidence of history and to dishonor the efforts and sacrifices of so many to tear down the barriers that divided us.

platform_device and driver misunderstanding
Hello all!
I`m doing my embedded project with bf537 (on BF537-STAMP), with kernel 126.96.36.199.
Through digging over several drivers, LDD3 and other stuff, I realized that I`m totally confused.
The issue is that I`m writing network(ethernet) driver, using spi(existing spidev or over) driver. By now I have a driver, that is capable to create ethx interface and fill in information(all of these is fully described in LDD3). But what I can`t find, is the way, how I can use ANOTHER, existing spi driver. Probe() function gets struct platform_device, which(as i know) i fill in a special file, there rosources, devices and other staff is allocated and registerd, etc... So, if i have to get an access to spi(spi resources), i have to declare them, make a master....so to write a nes spi driver. But i want to use existing.
Also, looking at similar driver(bfin_mac) i found something useful, but still it creates MII master, it doesn`t take it from "somewhere in the kernel".
I understand, that what i wrote may be wrong, but that is what I found using a set of drivers from different versions of the kernel.
Could someone explain the mechanism driver ONE may use loaded in the kernel driver TWO?
Thank you very much!!

Hey Rays, I switched to your HUD today and love it. I have one question, though - I realize previews don't work yet, but is there a list somewhere that can show me what each crosshair actually is? I know what I want, but it's really difficult to pick the right one(s) when it's just a bunch of crosshair names.
Also, is there some way to implement a brosel-style crosshair switcher? I can do just one crosshair fine, but I'd like to have more than one available to me (I like default for the medigun, for example, but I'd rather use a cross with a dot for needles or wings for when I pub scout).

MLS looks to add stars following labor deal
As part of the deal, each team's salary budget will rise from $2.3 million last year to more than $2.5 million this season and then increase 5 percent a year.
Players who are at least 24 and have three or more years of MLS service will have guaranteed contracts - giving the league a majority of players with guaranteed deals for the first time. The league estimated the percentage of players with guaranteed deals will grow from under 40 percent to 55 percent.
Although players fell short of gaining free agency, the league is establishing a re-entry draft for players of certain ages and service time whose options are declined or contracts expire. The league will be limited to two or three options for players, depending on age and service.
Players also will get bonuses for wins and appearance fees for international exhibitions, and the league and union will have a joint committee study restarting the reserve division, eliminated after the 2008 season. Provisions will be made for team to retain homegrown youth players.
