LONDON, March 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
A sharp decline in natural gas prices in 2012 resulted in several electric utilities to switch from coal and natural gas. With natural gas prices expected to remain low in 2013, the trend is expected to continue in 2013. Meanwhile, electric utilities such as Edison International (NYSE: EIX), Calpine Corporation (NYSE: CPN), The Southern Company (NYSE: SO) and Consolidated Edison Inc. (NYSE: ED) will be hoping for a normal winter this year. An unusually warm winter had a negative impact on electric utilities last year. Finally, electric utilities are also adapting to new environmental regulations. On Thursday, electric utilities ended mostly lower even as the broad market ended higher. StockCall has posted free technical research on EIX, CPN, SO, and ED which can be downloaded upon sign up at

Digital Transformation is the ultimate goal of cloud computing and related initiatives.

Tempe is terrific,
This review is from: Fatal Voyage : A Novel (Hardcover)
Kathy Reichs has created a wonderful character in Temperance Brennan, known by her friends as Tempe, a forensic anthropolgist who is brilliant, tough, and compassionate. In "Fatal Voyage," she joins a team investigating the tragic crash of an airplane in the mountains of North Carolina.
Joining the team is Andy Ryan, a Montreal detective for whom Tempe has had feelings in the past. He has a vested interest in the investigation, since his former partner, Jean Bertrand, may have died in the crash while escorting a prisoner. The investigators try to figure out what brought the plane down. Was it sabotage, an assassination, an insurance scam, a mechanical failure or something else?
Complicating Tempe's life further is her discovery of a decomposed foot near the crash site. When Tempe looks into her discovery, she suspects that it has nothing to do with the crash; she believes that it is a separate mystery that needs investigating. Suddenly, Tempe is unfairly accused of tampering with evidence and of illegally removing remains from the crash site. She is ordered off the investigation. It appears that powerful people want to discredit Tempe professionally. Later, when a mysterious man tries to run Tempe down with his car, she begins to realize that her life may be in danger, as well.
In "Fatal Voyage," Reichs has created a large and colorful cast of characters, such as Ruby McCready, the bible toting owner of a bed and breakfast where Tempe stays, and Lucy Crowe, the local sheriff who is every bit as tough and tenacious as Tempe. The dialogue sparkles and the narrative moves quickly, although you will need a scorecard to follow the many twists and turns in the plot. The ending is a little weak--too melodramatic and unrealistic, considering the excellence of the writing up to that point.
Why does Tempe spend her life poring over the remains of dead people? In this poignant passage, Tempe explains why she does such "unpleasant" work:
"It is for these victims and the mourners that I tease posthumous tales from bones. The dead will remain dead, whatever my efforts, but there have to be answers and accountability. We cannot live in a world that accepts the destruction of life with no explanations and no consequences." That is good writing and Tempe is a terrific character.

Title: Identify red-flowering vine in E. Texas
Answered by: Jackie OKeefe
QUESTION:Beside a well on an old homestead in Deep East Texas, there is a delicate vine. The leaves are heart shaped with points all the way around. The flower is a bright red trumpet shaped. I saw an angel vine which had similar flowers, but the leaves were frilly and fern like.
The mission of the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center centers on the native plants of North America. A search of our database for red-flowering vines native to Texas only turns up a few possibilities, none of which match your description.
The vine you describe sounds very attractive, but to make a positive identification, more information would be useful. If you can send a photo or photos, we are better able to help you. A picture IS worth a thousand words and colloquial names, which vary widely region-to-region, are unreliable. Hazarding a guess — delicate vine, flowers red and trumpet-shaped and a similar vine with fernlike leaves — maybe this is Quamoclit sloteri, Cardinal Climber. It is a descendant of the feathery-leaved Ipomoea quamoclit, Cypress Vine, and Ipomoea coccinea, Scarlet Creeper. ...But this guess could be totally in left field, so please send pictures. Go to: Instructions for submitting a photo for guidance on sending photos to us.
Hope this helps.

Best-selling cookbook author, Isa Chandra Moskowitz, debuts her Modern Love eatery today—the city's very first full-service vegan restaurant. Billed as "swanky vegan comfort food in Omaha, Nebraska", the farm-to-table cuisine features everything from a quinoa Caesar salad with tempeh croutons and seitan marsala over mashed root vegetables to jalapeno corn fritters and herb-infused lemonades. Seasonal pies, tarts, and cheesecakes—always served with housemade ice cream—round out the rustic-meets-elegant menu.

Utah Jazz: Start is super
Jazz lead by 15 in the first quarter, cruise to win in exhibition opener
Tom Smart, Deseret News
There were issues for concern, especially from coach Jerry Sloan's seat.
Chiefly, defensive effort.
But if the Jazz play throughout their 2009-10 NBA season opener against Denver on Oct. 28 anything like they did early on in a 103-87 preseason-opening victory over the Nuggets on Thursday night, don't worry.
Be happy.
Because Utah got off to a super start at EnergySolutions Arena, leading by as many as 15 in late in the first quarter. And — as much as Sloan may want more, as he always has and always will — things really weren't all that bad.
At least not from point guard Deron Williams' perspective.
From Mehmet Okur's nifty new running hook to C.J. Miles' 5-for-7 field shooting, much was falling the Jazz's way.
Even Williams' ailing right knee — revealed Thursday to be bothering him a him, as evidenced by a brace — wasn't too much trouble.
"Of course there's going to be some things that we can look at and say we didn't do a great job of," Williams said, "but for the most part we didn't turn the ball over (doing so just 12 times). We forced a lot of turnovers (Denver had 27 total). We were pretty active on defense. We helped a lot. We executed pretty well."
There was a second-half span, though, where Sloan seemingly could have killed someone — which is why the defensive theme, as it has been since the start of training camp last season, will linger throughout the preseason and likely well beyond October.
"We had our moments where I thought we played pretty good, but then we went through a stretch there where we weren't able to get up and guard people and made too many mistakes," said Sloan, whose Jazz next play preseason games Tuesday in London vs. Chicago and Wednesday vs. Real Madrid in Madrid. "They came out in the third quarter and really got after us and put some defense on us and kind of got themselves rolling a little bit.
"Someway or another we've got to find a way to defend. If we don't, I'm just gonna play somebody else.
"I can get beat just as easily with a guy working as a guy who thinks he's working hard, and it was probably my mistake last year that we didn't get after guys hard enough," he added.
"Maybe they were confused sometimes on assignments. That's just part of learning what's going on. We all make mistakes."
Sloan did have high praise, though, for power forward Carlos Boozer, who after an offseason of controversial trade talk received a mixed and somewhat ambivalent greeting from an EnergySolutions crowd announced to be 18,114.
"He missed some shots. I thought he was good defensively, though. That's what I was looking for," Sloan said of Boozer, was 2-for-5 and finished with seven points in 20 minutes. "I thought he was good defensively in most situations. There were a couple times he didn't get the assignment right. (But) that (defensive effort) is what we're looking for as much as anything. It's not just about scoring points."
As for Williams, he wound up with 16 and matched Miles for game-high scoring honors.
The knee — apparently sore because he did more leg lifting in the offseason than usual — was OK, he suggested afterward.
"A little tendinitis. It's been bothering me for a couple weeks. Nothing too serious," Williams said. "It (the brace) makes it feel better. It makes it not hurt, so I'll wear it."
NOTES: Miles (hip flexor strain) and AndreiKirilenko (quadriceps strain) both played and started despite missing much of training camp this week, but backup shooting guard KyleKorver (inflamed knee) didn't dress. Miles started at shooting guard and Kirilenko small forward. ... Sloan said Miles, the small forward starter last season, and Kirilenko, who came off the bench in 2008-09, both started so they wouldn't cool down or tighten up following pre-game warmups, and that the fact usual starting shooting guard RonnieBrewer did not open does mean he has lost his starting job. ... Free-agent hopeful PaulHarris (sprained ankle) also sat out.

Locomotive Power and Femoroacetabular Impingement
By Debbie Roberts, LMT
To think about locomotive power you first need to think about the chain of muscles, tendons, ligaments and joint structures that allow us to walk, run, jump, climb and play. This action of moving forward from the foot all the way to the trunk is what defines kinetic chain energy or locomotive power.
Static and Functional Assessments
As a therapist, it's crucial to take static AND function postural assessments with new clients. The standard static assessment will show you if some part of the body is forward or rotated, indicating weakness or tightness. But it won't tell you where the problem is occurring.
For that, you'll need to conduct a functional assessment. This allows you to see how the body responds to loads. Then you're able to better understand where the muscular weakness and dysfunction are happening.
Femoroacetabular Impingement of the Hip Joint
One place these assessments can be useful is in recognizing Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) of the hip joint. Remember that old song from your childhood, "The foot bone's connected to the ankle bone, the ankle bone's connected to the knee bone," and so on? This old ditty gives us an important hint about understanding FAI. The key is in order to properly assess what's going on at the hip, you have to begin all the way down at the foot. The first step is to look at the way the foot strikes the ground and the way the body absorbs the load through the femur.
Assessing FAI
When seeing a patient who is at risk for FAI, it's helpful to know the six primary signs and symptoms:
If FAI appears to be a factor for your patient you can begin by performing a static test. In a static observation, an S-posture indicates Lower Cross Syndrome. This can be the result of a misaligned ankle that affects the knee, which in turn leads to a change in the pelvic position.
Since the hip joint is located between the knee and the pelvis, it's naturally affected as well. If this occurs, you're looking at a muscular imbalance and insufficiency of the lower kinetic chain energy, which leads to a dysfunction at the ball and socket joint of the hip and possible FAI.
The FABER test is another assessment you can use to determine if FAI is a factor. If you're not familiar with the FABER test, the name tells the whole story: F-lexion, AB-duction, E-xternal R-otation of the hip. When conducting a FABER test, start with the patient supine and then flex, abduct and externally rotate the hip by placing their left foot over their right thigh or knee. Then slowly lower the knee down toward the table as you look for restrictions or signs of pain. Repeat to the other side. (FABER) (Ganz R. Parvizi J, Beck M, Leunig M, Notzli H, Siebenrock KA. Femoroacetabular impingement: a cause for osteoarthritis of the hip. Clin Ortop. 2003; 417:112-8.)
Causes of FAI
There are many theories as to how and why individuals develop FAI. One theory is that during development structural abnormalities of the hip, such as hip dysplasia (femur dislocation), can occur (Pollare 2011). Another cause is physical stress or trauma, like that suffered from a femoral neck fracture (Byrd & Jones 2011). Genetics is another potential factor in FAI (Leunig, Beaule' & Ganz 2009).
Whether the cause is developmental, trauma induced or genetic, in all cases one thing is consistent: FAI occurs when there is an abnormality of the femoral head and its congruency to the acetabulum. This is the culprit in early "primary" osteoarthritis of the hip, especially in young, active patients (Tannast, Siebenrock & Anderson 2007).
How Does FAI Develop?
FAI can develop over time through repeated and excessive hip flexion and internal rotation. This results in maximal contact between the anterosuperior femoral head-neck junction and the acetabular labrum, especially when there is not enough clearance to avoid friction. The repetitive movements and compressive load create a torsion effect on the internal structures inside the hip socket (Emara et al. 2011).
A patient whose FAI has progressed will develop an abnormal, asymmetrical and accommodative movement pattern. Taking a kinetic chain assessment will help you see the full dysfunctional pattern, allowing you to create a more complete treatment plan. This allows you to stop chasing the pain by helping the patient to correct the muscular imbalances that have contributed to the impingement.
To truly understand the development of this condition, let's look at the function of the hip joint and the moving parts that contribute to its healthy movement. The main job of the hip joint is to bear weight (Banerjee & Mclean 2011). The femoral ball slides against the acetabular socket and allows the body to perform movements of flexion, extension, abduction, adduction and internal and external rotation (American Medical Association 2011). The joint is supported by bones, cartilage, muscles, ligaments and tendons and has two main components: the acetabulum and the femur. The femoral head fits into and moves against the acetabular surface.
Anatomically, the iliopsoas, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus and gluteus maximus all provide anterolateral stability. So it's easy to see how an S-posture, with tight hip flexors and quadriceps and a weak extensor chain (gluteus maximus, medius, minimus and hamstrings), can alter the load. This puts excessive forces onto the hip joint and alters the patient's movement or gait pattern.
How FAI Presents
In the last year, I have seen more than half a dozen women in their 50s suffering from FAI resulting in osteoarthritis of the hip. After doing static and functional assessments, I discovered that every one of these patients had the typical muscular imbalances of Lower Cross Syndrome.
During their assessments, I noticed that all of these women began their static posture in an S-curve. After a functional assessment, including a FABER test, Thomas test, squat test and toe touch, it was clear that each one also suffered from a muscle imbalance of a hypertonic psoas muscle and tightness in the quadriceps and IT band. This was accompanied by loss of strength in the extensor chain.
All of these patients were referred to me by a their orthopedist or chiropractor and each came with a report of findings and diagnosis in her file. This allowed me to focus on helping them with their muscular imbalances by creating a treatment plan based on their doctor's recommendations and their individual needs.
A few of the women I saw were on very conservative treatment that blended modalities such as massage, cupping, muscle energy, traction of the femur, treatment in side posturing and corrective exercises. Some have undergone debridement for labral tears. Still others have received injections of the trochanteric bursa combined with physical therapy.
Unfortunately, four of these women did have to undergo hip replacement surgery, with two of them needing bilateral hip replacements to correct congenital disorders.
What We Can Do As Therapists
With the rise in hip replacement surgeries among younger women, it's time for us to take an active role in helping our patients with muscular imbalances to protect their hips from FAI. Without proper assessment, you may be only chasing the pain and symptoms of FAI and not helping with the correction of postural imbalances.
With the right assessment tools, however, you may be able to help your patient properly position the hip simply by lengthening the appropriate muscles and correcting the S-posture. By learning to take both functional and static assessments you can play a positive role in helping your patients identify and correct FAI and prevent future osteoarthritis.

Police are interviewing a man after he allegedly pointed a gun at his neighbour.
Emergency services were alerted to reports of shots being fired at a Neavesville Valley property, east of Puriri in Hauraki, about 1.35pm, Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Martyn Hughes of the Thames-Coromandel CIB said.
"Initial reports were that a firearm was pointed by a man at a neighbour after that person went outside to investigate the noise of several shots.
"As a result local police converged on the area and requested the assistance of the Waikato Armed Offenders Squad (AOS), a team of police negotiators and the Auckland-based Eagle helicopter."
Once the area was cordoned and contained, Hughes said a voice appeal got under way.
"As a result of that the AOS have cleared the property and we are now speaking to a 69-year-old man from that address to establish just what, if any, offences have been committed.
"Situations like today's are always fraught with risk and police have to consider the worse possible scenarios. Because of this cordons have to be established and access to areas restricted, inconveniencing large numbers of people but this is always done with the safety of the public in mind."
Hughes said police supported the safe, lawful use of firearms and asked all shooters to consider the environment in which they are operating and who may be affected by their shooting.
Earlier, police confirmed that shots had been fired in a major police operation between Paeroa and Thames.
Motorists were warned to avoid unnecessary travel between Paeroa and Thames due to ''a major policing operation'' but the road was expected to open shortly after 3.20pm.
Road closures were in place on State Highway 26, and at the intersection of SH26 (Paeroa-Kopu Rd) and SH25A.
Resident Monique Fitness saw numerous police cars in Puriri village, between Paeroa and Thames, when she picked her two children up from school. One ''whizzed'' past. Fitness went home and locked the doors to be on the safe side. She says a helicopter was circling an area east of Puriri.

How to Make a Flower Piñata
A luxurious and fragrant update to the traditional piñata, the sophisticated color palette and whimsical flare of this party decor will be the star at your next fiesta.
By: Kristin Guy
Materials Needed:
- 1 eight-inch floral foam sphere
- 36 wooden florist picks
- 6 colorful party hats
- colorful rolls of crepe paper or ribbon
- scissors
- pen or marker
- packaging tape
- rope
- 60-70 roses or silk flowers
- garbage bag or vinyl tablecloth
Pull Apart Party Hats
Pull apart party hats, removing the tabs and string with scissors.
Waterproof Paper Hats
To slightly waterproof the paper hats, align the bottom with packaging tape, folding to cover both front and back of the hats (this step can be skipped if using silk flowers).
Create Streamers
To create streamers, fold 2 to 3 feet of crepe paper into fourths, and cut lengthwise. If using ribbon, cut several 2- to 3-foot streamers.
Attach Streamers
For five of the cones, secure streamers on the inside of the hats using tape (image 1). For the sixth cone, secure a long piece of rope (image 2), which will be used to hang the finished piñata.
Form Into Cones
Wrap the party hats back into cone shapes, overlapping the sides and making them slightly longer than the original hats. With a marker, place four dots on equal sides of the cones.
Attach Florist Picks
Opening the cones back up, tightly tape wooden florist picks on top of the dots with sharp sides pointing down. Wrap cones back together and secure the seam with packaging tape. Set aside.
Soak Florist Foam
Soak florist foam for 10-15 minutes in a sink full of water and let drain slightly to remove excess moisture (this step can be skipped if using silk flowers).
Attach Rope
Waterproof your work surface with garbage bags or a vinyl tablecloth, and securely wrap the florist foam with rope to create a cradle to support its weight for hanging.
Attach Cones
Attach all five cones on each side of the foam orb (image 1), attaching the top cone with rope as hanging support (image 2). Set the bottom cone aside until the end of the project.
Cut Flower Stems
Cut flower stems to 3 inches long at an angle to easily attach into foam. Other floral varietals may require additional wooden picks to assist in piercing the foam.
Add Flowers and Last Cone
Tightly pack flowers one at a time around the foam until completely covered, adding the bottom cone and final flowers after the piñata is hanging in place (images 1 and 2).

Mixed Signals: Sales Of Existing Homes Dipped, But Prices Rose
By Mark Memmott
While sales of existing homes fell 5.4 percent in June from May, their median price was up 7.9 percent from a year earlier.
In addition, the National Association of Realtors reports, the supply of existing homes available for sale continued to shrink — including the number of "distressed" homes on the market because of foreclosures.
But while NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun says a shrinking inventory and higher prices are together a bigger story than the monthly decline in sales, The Wall Street Journal calls the news "a sign of weakness for a part of the economy that has been showing life."
Reuters concludes the report offers "mixed signals" about the housing sector.

US: Lesbian family drama produced by Jennifer Lopez sees viewership surge for second episode

Good on ABC. By showing all the different aspects of our lives the world will see that they have nothing to fear from gay people. Further to me it's part of a bigger picture about inclusiveness where everyone owns the community and we all benefit. Well done Ms Lopez. Another inspiration to the rest of us. Best X
One of the best TV Shows out there featuring a lesbian couple keep up the awesome work Theresa and Sherri I also love Calzona from Grey's Anatomy Callie n Arizona are also the greatest lesbian TV couple!!
These days an outcry by that whacky One Million Moms outfit is an out and out recommendation.
What else are they shouting about? I ought to check all of them out.
Best thing: it's not just on regular ABC, it's on ABC Family (oh, how appropriate!! ;)) in the USA, and on ABC Spark in Canada. So the target group here is teenagers. Whohoo!! :)
Oh yes, love the show: the characters are 3-dimensional, the kids seem real (definitely makes me happy not to have any!!!), and the lesbian couple is very believable.
For chicks who like chicks in uniform: Teri Polo runs around in her cop uniform half the time. ;)
