Spitzer: Energy markets navigating tensions guided by earlier success
By Peter Gardett
Managing Editor, AOL Energy
Efforts to build new transmission and expand natural gas production in the U.S. have been a qualified success because of "studious" efforts to craft the right price signals and break down traditional monopolies on power generation and sales, a former state and federal energy commissioner says.
There has been more transmission built "in the last ten years than in the previous ten," former Federal Energy Regulatory Commissioner Marc Spitzer told AOL Energy in a recent discussion about his priorities as he reenters the private sector. Spitzer is currently a partner in the Electric Power Group at law firm Steptoe & Johnson, following his original indication he would leave FERC last summer and a final voluntary departure from the Commission in mid-December.
The difficulty of being a regulator in the energy business lies in creating a "healthy tension" between regulators and the regulated community as a way of achieving a proper balance, Spitzer said. FERC is widely regarded as a bipartisan, almost academic, institution in a polarized Washington, DC. FERC has come under fire from some quarters during the tenure of Chairman Jon Wellinghoff for market design and case rulings critics have said favor renewable energy and incumbent generators.
For more on the controversy surrounding some aspects of Wellinghoff's chairmanship, read more here on AOL Energy.
"To benefit ratepayers all fuel options should be considered and allowed to compete," Spitzer said. Quoting Thomas Jefferson on states as the laboratories of democracy, he said that choices by states on renewable generation sources need to be respected.
FERC's success in boosting the prospects of natural gas and transmission projects through its individual decisions and its more over-arching rulemakings, the most recently prominent of which is FERC Order 1000, is representative of "a pretty studioU.S. effort by both industry and regulators to increase [investment in] electric transmission and natural gas infrastructure," Spitzer said.
Read a guide to FERC Order 1000 here.
Asked about perceptions that U.S. energy infrastructure remains under pressure despite the additions of the past decade, Spitzer says that the sector's record is a success story, if an incomplete one. Much of the impact on infrastructure spending in the past few years has been linked to the difficulty the US economy has had emerging from the recession triggered by the financial crisis of 2008, Spitzer said.
Managing the tricky and continually-evolving relationship between state and national bodies remains a core part of FERC's task, Spitzer said, and the extension of the commission's successes in infrastructure and natural gas to smart grid rollouts relies on navigating competing interests once again.
"There are aspects of smart grid that are both wholesale and retail," Spitzer said. While "smart meters that make the distribution system more efficient also make the bulk grid more efficient, to get full value means coordination between the states and FERC."
Read an interview with the head of NARUC, the group that represents state regulators in Washington, DC, on AOL Energy here.
"How do you handle the costs when the load share ratio that utilities traditionally rely on doesn't match up with the benefits?" Spitzer asked.
As he builds on his experience as a state regulator, a private sector executive and a federal commissioner in his new role as a Washington lawyer, Spitzer continues to seek the healthiest balance for the long term in addressing the issues that take center stage in national infrastructure and energy debates.

The .exe extension on a filename indicates an executable file. Executable files may, in some cases, harm your computer. Therefore, please read below to decide for yourself whether the StrongDC.exe on your computer is a Trojan that you should remove, or whether it is a file belonging to the Windows operating system or to a trusted application.
The process known as StrongDC belongs to software StrongDC (version 1.00 RC10) or Pocket Hack Master (version 2004) by Big Muscle, KohlSoft Corporation ;-).
Description: StrongDC.exe is not essential for the Windows OS and causes relatively few problems. StrongDC.exe is located in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files".
Known file sizes on Windows 8/7/XP are 2,887,680 bytes (25% of all occurrences), 2,805,760 bytes and 4 more variants.
There is an icon for this program on the taskbar next to the clock. StrongDC.exe is not a Windows core file. The software uses ports to connect to or from a LAN or the Internet. StrongDC.exe is able to record keyboard and mouse inputs and monitor applications. Therefore the technical security rating is 26% dangerous, however you should also read the user reviews.
There is a possibility to uninstall the associated program (Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > StrongDC++ or StrongDC++ 1.00 RC10).
Recommended: Identify StrongDC.exe related errors
If StrongDC.exe is located in a subfolder of C:\, the security rating is 21% dangerous. The file size is 2,887,680 bytes (50% of all occurrences) or 2,736,128 bytes. The program has a visible window. The file is not a Windows core file. StrongDC.exe is able to record keyboard and mouse inputs.
Important: Some malware camouflages itself as StrongDC.exe, particularly when located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder. Therefore, you should check the StrongDC.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
Summary: Average user rating of StrongDC.exe: based on 3 votes with 2 user comments. 3 users think StrongDC.exe is essential for Windows or an installed application.
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with StrongDC. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using cleanmgr and sfc /scannow, uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using msconfig) and enabling Windows' Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off doing a repair of your installation, or in the case of Windows 8, executing the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the StrongDC.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: Security Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.

Georgia Regents Reproductive Medicine and Infertility Associates in Augusta, Georgia performs egg retrieval procedures as part of in vitro fertilization (IVF) for women with infertility and reproductive disorders.
For IVF, the egg retrieval procedure is usually performed under transvaginal ultrasound guidance. To accomplish this, a needle is inserted (under IV sedation) through the vaginal wall into the ovaries using ultrasound to locate each follicle. The follicular fluid is drawn up into a test tube to obtain the eggs.
Patients are given pain medications intravenously and are carefully monitored by a nurse anesthetist.
Generally, the oocyte (egg) retrieval takes 30-45 minutes. Patients are usually discharged home within an hour after the retrieval.
Please contact us with questions about IVF egg retrieval or if you want to schedule an appointment for an in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.

What neighborhoods in Nashville are considered safe? Is Buena Vista a decent place to find an apartment?
Nashville's Buena Vista neighborhood is located closer to downtown and though it is a lively place to find an apartment, it is not unsafe. Some notoriously unsafe areas include Nolensville Road, which is south of the city, Antioch, and the Madison area. The safer parts of Nashville are in Green Hills or Belle Meade, though both of those areas are rather expensive in terms of rents in Nashville. Bellevue and Sylvan Park are other options to consider finding an apartment, though they are located outside Interstate 440.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most commonly diagnosed behavioral disorder of childhood.
In fact, we often incorrectly identify difficult children as having ADHD and overlook those who do suffer from it. With all the confusion surrounding the disorder, how does a parent of a "wild child" know whether to attribute the fidgety behavior to ADHD or a mere lack of patience and focus?
The first point to consider is the child's age and stage of development. Is his or her behavior out of the normal range? If so, certain signs can help you spot potential ADHD. In his article "Untangling the Myths of Attention Disorder," Perri Klass, M.D., lists three groups of symptoms: inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior.
Inattentive symptoms:
-Fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in schoolwork
-Has difficulty keeping attention during tasks or play
-Does not seem to listen when spoken to directly
-Does not follow through on instructions and fails to finish schoolwork or chores
-Has difficulty organizing tasks and activities
-Avoids or dislikes tasks that require sustained mental effort (such as schoolwork)
-Often loses toys, assignments, pencils, or books needed for tasks or activities
-Is easily distracted
-Is often forgetful in daily activities
Hyperactivity symptoms:
-Fidgets with hands or feet or squirms in seat
-Leaves seat when remaining seated is expected
-Runs about or climbs in inappropriate situations
-Has difficulty playing quietly
-Is often "on the go," talks excessively
Impulsivity symptoms:
-Blurts out answers before questions have been completed
-Has difficulty awaiting turn
-Interrupts or intrudes on others (butts into conversations or games
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) offers three guidelines for diagnosing ADHD:
1. Children should have at least six inattentive symptoms or six hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms, with some symptoms present before age seven.
2. The symptoms must be present for at least six months, be seen in two or more settings, and not be caused by another problem.
3. The symptoms must be severe enough to cause significant difficulties in many settings, including home, school, and in relationships with peers.
Any child who exhibits these symptoms should be evaluated by a doctor.

Battlestations pacific
Any thoughts, feedback on this?
Played the demo today & quite impressed, seems like MP may be good.
Makes a change from the usual stuff i play.
Re: Battlestations pacific
I also enjoyed the demo, however has anyone figured out how to get the first person view via the planes?
If I can select the in ****pit view, then I'll defensively pick this up when released.
Re: Battlestations pacific
Lol, that's what i've been trying to figure out too.
Re: Battlestations pacific
Mouse button 3 (middle mouse button).
It tells you the controls as you are starting to take off. :p
Re: Battlestations pacific
I didn't really like it.
Not really my genre though.
Re: Battlestations pacific
Just watched a trailer for the game; the concept seems neat, but I don't think I could stand that awful, stereotypical "Japanese English" voice throughout the game. If you're going to make a voice THAT heavily accented, then geez just do it in Japanese with subtitles.
Re: Battlestations pacific
I like war games
I like games involving planes
what can i say about Battlestaions Pacific, simply big horrible piece of ****. Not a single good thing to say about it.
Re: Battlestations pacific
What's so bad about it?
Re: Battlestations pacific
its not skill based
Re: Battlestations pacific
I'm enjoying the demo but....
I can't seem to easily beat the computer AI in skirmish mode. Any suggestions? Perhaps I'm overlooking something?
Re: Battlestations pacific
Well, based on demo experience i've just ordered it thru steam, you get full version of Midway to play now as a bonus, me likey!
It's a lot of fun & very different, bought it for what i hope will be great multiplayer battles.
Mizzer, AI is hard as nails i'm finding, not beat it yet either..he he
Re: Battlestations pacific
Gamespot gives it 8/10, great fun game, online is awsome, huge battles, intuative controls & interface!

5 large tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 large yellow onion, roughly chopped
4 cloves of garlic, peeled whole
1/4 cup oil (your choice - we used grape seed)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 cups softened chick peas
1 cup cashews (soaked in water for 2-4 hours)
1 cup fresh water or nut milk
1 lemon, juiced
1 cup fresh water or nut milk
1 lemon, juiced
2 TBS agave nectar
2 TBS Garam Masala seasoning (or more to taste)
Move oven rack to highest setting. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Toss first six ingredients in large bowl, then spread on baking sheet. Roast the coated veggies for approximately 12 minutes, or until they just start to get charred edges and are really spitting. Transfer roasted veggies (and as much of the oil as you can) to food processor. Add all other ingredients. Blend until super smooth. Feel free to transfer to pot on stove to keep warm, or just serve directly from food processor since it should be sufficiently warm. THAT'S IT. SERIOUSLY! Serves six.

The Company achieved several key expansion milestones in 2011, including: the successful integration of the acquired Computershare operations, which continue to meet or exceed the expectations set at the time of acquisition; the launch of an office and associated business in Europe, based in London, England; and the establishment of the Shareworks application as the first truly global equity administration platform. The Company intends to continue its aggressive expansion into the U.S. and Europe, and other parts of the world on a selective basis.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is a non-IFRS financial measure which does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to users as it reflects the net earnings prior to the effect of non-operating expenses such as interest, tax, amortization and foreign exchange gain or loss. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA in measuring the financial performance of the Company. Management monitors Adjusted EBITDA against budget and past results on a regular basis.

HIGHLIGHTS OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCERevenue from Canadian operations was $5.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 (2010 - $5.6 million) and $22.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2011 (2010 - $18.4 million), while revenue from US operations was $5.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 (2010 - $4.1 million) and $23.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2011 (2010 - $8.5 million). Adjusted EBITDA in Canada was $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 (2010: $1.0 million) and $6.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2011 (2010: $5.2 million), while Adjusted EBITDA in the U.S. was $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 (2010: $0.6 million) and $4.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2011 (2010: loss $0.3 million). Net earnings were impacted by unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses during the year ended December 31, 2011 as a result of Company's U.S. dollar denominated obligation due to Computershare. The exchange rate of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar resulted in an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 (2010 - gain $0.06 million) and an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $0.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2011 (2010 - gain $0.01 million). Net earnings per share, after taking into account unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, was $0.021 in the fourth quarter of 2011 (2010 - $0.003) and $0.065 in the year ended December 31, 2011 (2010 - $0.056). Although the U.S. dollar denominated liability due to Computershare affects net earnings and the balance sheet, it is economically hedged as the U.S. dollar cash flow of the Company's U.S. operations exceeds the U.S. dollar monthly payment of the obligation. An unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss occurs when, for financial reporting purposes, the U.S. dollar denominated obligation is marked to market with respect to Canadian dollars. The future cash flows from U.S. operations are not marked to market and thus there is no offsetting unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss relating to the economic hedge recorded for financial reporting purposes. Beginning in 2012, the Company has designated the U.S. denominated liability as an accounting hedge against the Company's net investment in its U.S. operations. The designation will have the effect of mitigating volatility on net earnings by offsetting foreign exchange gains and losses on the liability with foreign exchange gains and losses on its net investment in U.S. operations that are presented in other comprehensive income. Cash on hand as at December 31, 2011 was $16.9 million (December 31, 2010 - $12.5 million). Cash increased by $4.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2011 (2010 - $6.6 million). Cash generated from operations was $9.6 million in 2011 (2010 - $3.8 million), which was offset by working capital used for operating activities of $0.03 million (2010 - $1.9 million). Cash used in financing activities was $4.0 million in 2011 (2010 - positive $2.2 million) mainly resulting from $4.3 million payments to Computershare in 2011 (2010 - $0.4 million). Cash used in investing activities was $1.8 million (2010 - positive $2.4 million) mainly resulting from purchases of capital assets, net of non-cash working capital changes. Working capital as at December 31, 2011 was $9.6 million (December 31, 2010 - $5.5 million). The Company continues to accelerate investment for the future. Such expenditures include investments in the UK, more robust equity trade execution capability in Canada, and research and development activities. The Company has increased such investment each year based on prudent forecasts of cash reserves, and investing all cash in excess of such targeted reserves. The purposeful effect of this is the expected growth of top line revenue at a rate that exceeds the growth rate of both EBITDA and net earnings. About Solium Capital Inc.Solium Capital Inc.

Direct Student Loans:
Analyses of Borrowers' Use of the Income Contingent Repayment Option
HEHS-97-155: Published: Aug 21, 1997. Publicly Released: Aug 21, 1997.

(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed borrowers' use of the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program's (FDLP) income contingent repayment (ICR) plan, focusing on: (1) the extent to which borrowers are using ICR compared with other repayment plans available under FDLP; (2) how loan delinquencies and defaults under ICR compare with delinquencies and defaults under other FDLP repayment plans; (3) how loan payments under ICR compare with payments under other FDLP repayment plans; and (4) how the Department of Education, which administers the program, verifies the accuracy of income reported by borrowers using ICR.
GAO noted that: (1) as of March 31, 1997, about 663,000 borrowers owing about $5.3 billion in FDLP loans were repaying loans; (2) about 9 percent of these borrowers were using ICR; (3) GAO found that 80 percent of borrowers using ICR either were current in their monthly payments or had their payments suspended because they were in school or for other reasons; (4) borrowers using ICR tended to be delinquent or in default at higher percentages than borrowers using other repayment plans; (5) borrowers who have been placed into the ICR plan because they have defaulted on an Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) loan are a major factor in the higher percentage of defaults for ICR users; (6) of the 2,832 borrowers using ICR and in default, 2,083, or 73.6 percent, had defaulted on an FFELP loan; (7) comparing estimated total loan payments for ICR users and borrowers who use the three other repayment plans is complicated; (8) compared with borrowers who use the standard repayment plan, ICR users and those using extended and graduated plans generally face higher total payments; (9) compared with borrowers who use the extended or graduated repayment plans, ICR users face comparatively higher total payments if their incomes are low but comparatively lower total payments if their incomes are high; (10) the Department of Education checks the reported income of borrowers using ICR in one of two ways; (11) for borrowers who are in their first year of repayment or who may have recently lost their jobs, the Department relies primarily on documentation submited by the borrower, such as pay stubs, dividend statements, or cancelled checks; (12) the Department does not verify the accuracy of this documentation when it is submitted; rather it relies on a signed certification from the borrower that the information is complete and accurate; (13) for borrowers who have been out of school for a year or more, the Department obtains income information directly from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS); (14) the Department does not verify the accuracy of information borrowers provide IRS but relies on IRS' verification process; (15) however, during the transition from using borrower documentation to using IRS information, the Department compares the income amounts from the two sources for discrepancies; and (16) if there are significant discrepancies or if borrowers do not cooperate in providing correct income information, they are removed from the ICR plan and placed into another repayment plan.

Mas Ses Vinyes
Carretera GIP 6531, Begur, Spain, 17255
- Recommended for:
- Couples, Families with teenagers, Families with younger children, Travellers with pets, Chilling out, Escaping the crowds, Great views / scenery, Nature / wildlife, Relaxation
Expert review of Mas Ses Vinyes
This converted country masia or Catalan farmhouse is a great base for exploring some of the Costa's most gorgeous beaches and coves. Or, you might find it tempting, as I did, just to spend the afternoon by the blissfully relaxing pool.
On a pine-clad hilltop overlooking the bay of Calella de Palafrugell. The beaches at Calella, Llafranc, Tamariu and Aiguablava, as well as the smaller coves around them, are all within ten minutes' drive. The medieval hilltop town of Begur is similarly a short drive away.
You get a lot of floor space for your euro here, as the 25 rooms are amongst the most spacious I've seen on the Costa Brava. My favourites are the ones in the old building, which have arched ceilings and big, grand old wooden doors. They don't, however, have air-conditioning, so if you prefer a more modern feel (and indeed air-conditioning), go for the ones in the newer annexe, which have warm red and yellow walls and charcoal grey stone floors. All the rooms have got very generously proportioned, contemporary bathrooms.
Check availability and compare prices for Mas Ses Vinyes
These comprise mainly the pool and gardens, as well as the terrace restaurant.
Breakfast is a buffet by the pool with super-fresh croissants and pastries. The chic, modern restaurant includes a large, pretty outdoor terrace looking out to the pool.
Infinity pool with clear views across to the bay at Calella de Palafrugell and sun loungers around it. Also a hotel spa and gym where you can have saunas, massages and Jacuzzis, as well as various other spa treatments. The hotel also can arrange diving and sailing.

SABMiller's veteran chairman dies of cancer
LONDON, Dec 18 (Reuters) – Graham Mackay, the chairman of
brewer SABMiller and one of the best-known figures in
the global consumer goods industry, died on Wednesday from
cancer. He was 64.
Mackay spent 35 years at SABMiller, steering its
transformation from a South African industrial conglomerate to
the world's second-largest beer maker with annual sales of $34.5
billion and 200 brands including Miller Lite, Peroni and Pilsner
Dalmore could pep up sale of whisky firm Whyte & Mackay
LONDON, Dec 13 (Reuters) – India's United Spirits
could attract more buyers for its Whyte & Mackay Scotch whisky
business and tip the price over the expected 450 million pounds
($735 million) if it included the single malt Dalmore, sources
familiar with the matter say.
A sale of most of Whyte & Mackay was offered last month by
Diageo to appease UK regulators concerned its purchase
of a controlling stake in Whyte & Mackay's owner, United
Spirits, would hurt competition in the world's No. 3 Scotch
market behind France and the United States.
Unilever streamlines products, cuts jobs to confront world slowdown
LONDON (Reuters) – Consumer products giant Unilever Plc (ULVR.L: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) (UNc.AS: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) aims to cut the number of individual products it sells by 30 percent by the end of 2014 to become more efficient and navigate a global economic slowdown it admits it was slow to confront.
The Anglo-Dutch maker of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, Lipton tea and Dove soap also said on Thursday it is cutting about 2,000 jobs and will continue to adjust its portfolio.
Philip Morris, Japan Tobacco seek Russia advantage with $1.5 bln deal
MOSCOW/LONDON, Dec 4 (Reuters) – Philip Morris International
Inc and Japan Tobacco Inc are buying 20 percent
stakes in their Russian distributor Megapolis for $750 million
each, strengthening their grip on the world's No.2 cigarette
market by volume after China.
Russia, where 40 percent of the adult population smoke, is a
key battleground for foreign tobacco companies grappling with
dwindling sales in many developed markets where government
regulation is becoming stricter and smokers fewer.
Britain seeks to force plain cigarette packaging on tobacco firms
LONDON, Nov 28 (Reuters) – Britain signalled it would force
tobacco companies to scrap branded cigarette packaging on
Thursday in an attempt to reduce the number of children who may
be drawn to smoking by striking and brightly coloured packs.
In a surprise decision that was welcomed by cancer research
charities but scorned by some tobacco companies, the government
said it was appointing a paediatrician to examine whether plain
packaging would reduce the human and financial cost of smoking.
Analysis: No checkouts, no chocolate: Online shopping hits impulse buys
LONDON/BERLIN (Reuters) – For consumers, one of the great things about shopping online is bypassing the queue to check out. For producers of the candy, magazines and drinks often sold there, it's a problem.
In Britain, the country where e-commerce is most popular, about 13 percent of people do all or most of their grocery shopping online. Yet this only accounts for 5 percent of overall spending, suggesting consumers spend more when they visit a store.

Diageo offers to sell Whyte & Mackay whisky assets
LONDON (Reuters) – Britain's Diageo (DGE.L: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) has offered to sell most of Whyte & Mackay's whisky assets to address competition concerns arising from its July acquisition of a controlling interest in India's United Spirits (UNSP.NS: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz).
Diageo, the world's biggest spirits maker, said on Monday that it would assist Britain's Office of Fair Trading with its evaluation of the United Spirits deal and that a further announcement would be made in due course.
Reckitt hires Morgan Stanley for pharma review-sources
LONDON, Nov 22 (Reuters) – Reckitt Benckiser Group
has hired Morgan Stanley to advise on its options for its
shrinking pharmaceuticals unit, according to two sources
familiar with the matter.
The British consumer goods company said last month it was
examining options for the business, which sells a heroin
addiction medicine and could fetch over 2 billion pounds ($3.24
billion) in a sale, according to analysts.
SABMiller says emerging market beer drinkers driving growth
LONDON (Reuters) – SABMiller (SAB.L: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), the world's second-largest brewer, said emerging markets would continue to drive sales and earnings while European and North American consumers drink less beer.
Other companies including Unilever (ULVR.L: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) and Diageo (DGE.L: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) have reported a slowdown in emerging markets such as China and Brazil but SABMiller said it was upbeat on the outlook for Latin America, Africa and Asia.

Hi gang!
One of the first things I did when I started with Daz Studio was to change the layout, or workspace. My dilemma was simple; I really liked the Hollywood Blvd layout in general, but it was a bit too extensive for me. Too much overhead so to say.
But if you then selected a more advanced layout such as Self Service or City Limits then it was a bit too sparse for my liking.
So I ended up rolling my own. Also because there were several (small) annoyances in the default layouts, like the icon toolbars which would sometimes move around or simply not provide me with the options I was after.
I made several versions, but now I've finally reached a point where I consider the layout to be somewhat finished: "Catslair boulevard".
It's fully aimed at providing a modelling environment, and totally ignores animations. I've trimmed the workspaces down to 3:
Layout description
Actors & Props
This is the section which I use to build my sceneries and do some pre-mature posing. You have the smart content pane on your left, together with the shaping and surfaces panes. At the bottom sits the render library. On the left you got the scenes, parameters and content library pane (this selection is used in every available workspace).
The icon toolbar provides access to a common selection of the viewport tools (node selection, universal tool, scale tool, surface selection, etc.), it allows you to select a backdrop for your scene, or to save (parts) of the current scene. Finally you also have some render options (like spot render, render settings, the option to save those settings and to start rendering).
Posing & Cameras
This section is aimed at providing more detailed posing controls, as well as providing options to actually build your scene. The main difference on the right side is the addition of the tool settings pane, the rest of the panes remain as they were in 'Actors & Props'.
On the left you can now find PowerPose; ideal for fine-grained posing controls, Posing, Cameras, Lights, Align and the Render album.
The icon toolbar has also changed; you get a different sub-set of the viewport tools (selection, universal, rotate, translate and activepose), controls to save (parts) of the scene and specific controls for camera and light controls. Adding a camera, light source or toggling the lighting preview is now done with one simple mouseclick instead of doing this in the pane itself.
You also get some minor viewport controls (the option to provide one window or a split window) as well as the render controls.
As the name says this is where you can do more fine grain tuning and controlling. The panes on the right are the same as those in Actors & Props, on the left you now got the Shader builder, RSL editor, DForm, Figure setup and the powerful Script IDE.
The icon toolbar now shows all the viewport controls, allows for easily adding new camera and lights as well as options to save (parts) of the scene. And it also provides you with the always present render options.
You'll easily recognize the advanced section through use of a dark grey backdrop.
I've changed some keyboard shortcuts, though don't quite remember all of them
The things I know to have changed is the option to select the spot render tool: control-alt-R. That's because you'll get the render settings using control-shift-R, so this seemed like a logical approach to me. Note that the render settings pane is no longer permanently visible (either collapsed or expanded) in the layout.
That's because my main focus was set on modelling. And also because it's easy to click control-shift-R after which the settings window will appear.
I've attached a preview below, of course with a cute model (Riley) which is wearing some swimwear; that's the only way to promote things like these
Getting the goodies
I've created 2 archive files (ZIP and RAR) which are both hosted on my server, just follow the appropriate link:
DS4-catslair_boulevard_layout.zip (approx. 115 kB)
DS4-catslair_boulevard_layout.rar (approx. 100 kB)
Why both zip and rar?
Because I'm a big fan of the (Win)RAR archiver, I've been using it almost as soon as it got out (back in the good old BBS days), even have several licenses for it (both commercial as well as private). That and because the RAR file is smaller and has a signature on it which shows you that I'm the one who made it.
But because not everyone uses RAR I've also provided the ZIP format.
How does it work?
On Windows 7:
Extract the archive to the AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\Studio4\user layouts folder (or extract it somewhere else and copy the contents).
On Windows XP:
Extract the archive to the Application Data\DAZ 3D\Studio4\user layouts folder.
The folder can be found inside your own "home directory" or default "user folder".
After you extracted (or copied) all the files and directories you simply start Daz Studio, select the Window pulldown menu and then go to: Workspace -> Select Layout.
When everything is in place you should see an entry called "Catslair Boulevard" in the pulldown menu, with a short description at the bottom. Simply select it and see if you like these settings.
To preserve your own settings:
Its a good idea to save your own settings first before trying mine, especially if you made changes yourself.
It's simple: before loading my preset start by saving yours. This can be easily done by pressing F4 while making sure that you select "Custom" for the actions, menus and toolbars (see 2nd preview below).
If you don't like my layout or wish to merge your settings in mine (or the other way around) you can then simply select your layout from the same pulldown menu which I described above.
Hope some of you may find this useful!

40 year old man | Glendale, CA, USA | Seeking women 28-40 within 30 miles
Hi there! Really good guy here looking for a girl that has it all - fun, outgoing, attractive & smart Clearly that's you! Give me a cal
Hi there - Fun, professional guy with a new found sense of adventure & a big heart he's looking to share with the right girl. I am grateful for the balance that I have been able to achieve - it has enabled me to get through some pretty tough choices in life. I am adventuring out with a new outlook - seeking the kind of woman that will want to try new things with me - someone exciting, creative, quirky even! I'm very liberal at heart and I don't have many hangups. I want a girl who is the same - easy going, accepting of others ideas and interested to learn more about the world around her but always has her own opinion and POV. I am still new to LA - I've been here just 2 years. I'd love to meet someone who knows the area or someone willing to explore with me. I don't have many friends in the area who aren't married with kids. If you are looking for the guy who spends his weekends on the beach with all the buddies he grew up with - sorry that's not me. I grew up on the East coast and have relocated for work several times in my life so I'm still new to LA and still trying to meet new fun people. If that is you - say hello - I'd love to buy you a drink and get to know you.

Bryant University, Smithfield, RI
I am a child of the 80's - nothing better than a good hard rock song to keep me focused on my long runs. I lived in Portland OR for 5 yrs and really gained an appreciation of craft beer. I am very food adventurous. There is nothing I won't try
I try and make running a special part of my life. I love running with friends - I belong to 2 running clubs around LA. I love movies, comedy clubs, music, and travel & watersports. I also enjoy updating my nearly 100 YO house in Glendale
Sadly I've been trying for ages to finish Alan Greenspan's Memoir. Its kinda like vegetables - good for you - and if you eat them enough they grow on you!

28 year old woman | Renton, WA, USA | Seeking men 25-35 within 50 miles

...Life is Beautiful...
Let me introduce myself by saying I'm a girly tomboy who loves fashion, being pampered, and can enjoy a good chic flick, but in the next instant will be out getting my hands dirty changing my own oil, configuring my AV system or getting out my tools to fix the ottoman that has a busted frame. I'm laid back and very steady, am somewhere in between being an extrovert and an introvert, love staying active and trying new things, enjoy being creative and inventive with just about anything, and my relationships are the most important part of my life. I love to celebrate life and try to live it to the fullest. Whether it's in the form of dancing with my girls or shooting pool/hitting up dives with friends, exploring the great outdoors or discovering new cities, I've got a pretty adventurous spirit and I love being around people or wherever the parties at. I'm always learning about new things, whatever happens to strike my fancy. When something has caught my interest I'll nerd out until I've exhausted the subject and then it's on to the next thing. Match is just another avenue for me to get the most out of life, an easy way to connect and meet new people. No pressure. If we meet up then my only expectation is a nice time with a decent person, some good conversation and hopefully some laughs thrown in there too. If there's a spark or a real connection we can take that as it comes but it's no problem if one date is all it ever is, I mean, come on people...it is online dating after all haha... I prefer getting to know a person in person (revolutionary, I know) so if you're interested, shoot me a message and if the interest is mutual, we can save the banter for coffee or drinks in the flesh...

Fall 2014 GRASP Seminar - Hong Zhang, University Of Alberta, "Scalable Visual Mapping"
Presenter: Hong Zhang (Homepage)
Event Dates:
Friday November 21, 2014 from 11:00am to 12:00pm
One area of significant progress in robotics research in recent years has been the use of visual sensing by mobile robots to map an environment and negotiate routes within the environment. This growth is mostly attributed to the rich textural information in visual sensory data compared with the traditional range data, as well as to the great strides made in the development of efficient and robust computer vision and image processing algorithms. In this talk, I will give an overview of the recent progress in appearance-based visual SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) algorithms, and highlight our research in scalable and accurate visual SLAM algorithms using whole image descriptors. As well, I will describe our current work in dealing with dynamically changing environments, and our involvement in the NSERC Canadian Field Robotics Network (NCFRN).
Presenter's Biography:
Dr. Hong Zhang received his Ph.D. from Purdue University in 1986 in Electrical Engineering. Subsequently he spent 18 months with the GRASP Lab at the University of Pennsylvania as post-doctoral fellow before joining the University of Alberta, Canada where he is currently a Professor in the Department of Computing Science and the Director of the Centre for Intelligent Mining Systems.
Dr. Zhang's research interest spans robotics, computer vision, and image processing, and he has published close to 200 papers in top international journals and conferences in these areas. He is mostly known for his research in collective robotics - introducing biologically inspired solutions to decentralized control of a multirobot system - and in applied image processing for Alberta's oil sands industry to measure key performance indicators, creating a unique expertise that never existed before. His current research focuses on visual robot navigation and its application to environment monitoring in Canadian outdoors.
Dr. Zhang has been active in professional activities. His journal editorial responsibilities include IEEE Transaction on Cybernetics, the journal of Robotics, and International Journal of Robotics and Biomimetics. Dr. Zhang chairs the technical committee on Robotics and Intelligent Sensing of the IEEE SMC Society, and is a member of the AdCom of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (2014-2016). Among the many conference organization involvements, he serves as the General Chair of 2017 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), to be held in Vancouver, Canada. Dr. Zhang's achievements have been recognized through many awards including IEEE Millennium Medal in 2000, the 2006 Canadian Image Processing and Pattern Recognition Society (CIPPRS) Award for Research Excellence, and a 2008 ASTech Award in recognition of his contributions
to industrial research in Alberta. He is the holder of an NSERC Industrial Research Chair and a Fellow of IEEE.

The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.
This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information. Likewise, coin dealers seeking to purchase one or more '96 or '97 half dollars for a client or for inventory, and collectors who own, have owned, or desire to own one will want this important reference work for their libraries.

This sounds unlikely if you think of religion primarily in terms of dogma or of rules of behavior.
More importantly, Israel is only able to act with such impunity because they understand the power of the "no light" dogma.
She says she was released when she feigned acceptance of their dogma.
c.1600 (in plural dogmata), from Latin dogma "philosophical tenet," from Greek dogma (genitive dogmatos) "opinion, tenet," literally "that which one thinks is true," from dokein "to seem good, think" (see decent). Treated in 17c.-18c. as a Greek word in English.
A teaching or set of teachings laid down by a religious group, usually as part of the essential beliefs of the group.
Note: The term dogma is often applied to statements put forward by someone who thinks, inappropriately, that they should be accepted without proof.

Back in January I featured a post on The Garage, a community on campus where following your creative hunches is the rule and volcanoes still explode at science fairs. When the Garage was just starting out, some of our colleagues in India saw all the fun we were having in Redmond and decided they wanted to start the Garage in India.
The Hyderabad Garage has now been open for a bit more than two years and every indication suggests that it's been a success. In June they held the second annual Garage India Science Fair and 50 exhibits were on display – up from 22 last year. And this year's event drew participants from Bangalore and Russia.
What's so striking about the Garage in India is how it started from the bottom up. Quinn Hawkins, who helped start the Redmond Garage, says it all started with an e-mail from Sidharth Sehgal, a developer in Hyderabad. The conversation focused on Stay Late and Code (SLAC), a Garage event being held in Redmond where employees stay late, have some pizza, and imbibe their favorite brew, while working on their side projects.
To help jump start the unofficial overseas expansion, the Redmond Garage agreed to spring for the pizza, as long as Sidharth would take care of the rest. Sidharth teamed up with his friend, Shrikanth Balla, to plan the meetings and recruit people from the Hyderabad office (and I assume confirmed that the pizza wouldn't be delivered from Redmond).
That seems to have been all it took for the Garage to firmly take hold in Hyderabad. Since that time, the IT department in India has stepped to the plate to fund the science fairs and the Garage has become a permanent fixture in Microsoft India, with hundreds of employees participating.
One of the themes of the Garage India Science Fair this year was "Code for Her," which was all about creating applications for women. And one of the most popular projects in this category was Immunization Tracker, an app that helps mothers keep track of when and for what diseases their children have been inoculated. Another great one was Doctoso, a Windows Phone 7 app that translates Office documents and books into 15 languages and lets you listen back to them on your phone.
There was also a pretty cool project called DriveSafe that uses sensors to detect unsafe driving behavior, like driving down the highway with one hand on the steering wheeling and the other fiddling with your phone. What makes it work is a pressure sensor in the steering wheel that detects your one-handedness. And depending on factors such as your speed, the time of day, and the wetness of the road, it might encourage you to put the phone down and return both hands to the wheel.
You might not like the idea of your car chiding you, but the rest of us on the road wouldn't mind What's really great about DriveSafe is that it apparently cost less than $30 to build, so it doesn't seem too unlikely that smart car systems like this could start showing up, even in the cheap cars.
The Garage Science Fairs often provides these little glimpses of the not too distant future, which is one of the reason people keep coming back.

About Metro
A rapid transit, underground, subway, elevated or metro(politan) system is a railway — usually in an urban area—with a high capacity and frequency of service and grade separation from other traffic. In most of the world, these systems are known as a "Metro." In London, the system is called the "Underground," in Buenos Aires "Subte", (a short colloquial word for subterráneo, Spanish for underground) and in most of North America and in Glasgow, Scotland, "subway." The oldest rapid transit system in the world is the London Underground, which opened in 1863. The Underground is also the most extensive rapid transit system in the world.
The two primary ways that subway tunnels are constructed are by cut and cover and tunnel boring.
One hundred sixty-two cities have rapid transit systems, totaling more than 8,000 km (4,900 miles) of track and 7,000 stations. Twenty-five cities have new systems under construction."
