LONDON (AP) - Serena Williams has started her Wimbledon title defense with a victory over Mandy Minella of Luxembourg, using her dominant serve to win 6-1, 6-3 on Centre Court.
Williams didn't drop a single point on her serve until the start of the second set, when Minella took a 2-0 lead Tuesday after the American double-faulted on break point.
Williams won the next four games to regain control and broke again to wrap up the match.
Williams is looking for her sixth Wimbledon title and improved her career record to 68-8 at the All England Club. She extended her career-best winning streak to 32 matches, which included her second French Open title.
The 92nd-ranked Minella was making her second appearance at Wimbledon, having lost in the first round in 2012.
James Blake of the U.S. ended a five-match Wimbledon losing streak by beating 93rd-ranked Thiemo De Bakker of the Netherlands 6-1, 6-3, 6-2 in the first round Tuesday.
The 33-year-old Blake, a former top-five player currently ranked 87th, reached the second round at the All England Club for the first time since 2008. He lost his opening matches at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament each of the past four years.
Blake's best Wimbledon showings were reaching the third round in 2006 and 2007.
Juan Martin Del Potro made a winning return to Grand Slam competition on Tuesday, defeating Albert Ramos of Spain 6-2, 7-5, 6-1 in the first round at Wimbledon.
The eighth-seeded Del Potro did not play at the French Open because of respiratory problems.
Facing an opponent playing only his fourth tournament on grass, the big-hitting Del Potro had 34 winners - including 10 aces - and maintained his record of advancing to the second round at the All England Club in six appearances.
Top-seeded Novak Djokovic eased into the second round of Wimbledon with a 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 win over Florian Mayer of Germany on Tuesday.
Bidding to win his second title at the All England Club, Djokovic was playing his first match of the year on grass after losing in the semifinals at the French Open. He managed the switch from clay perfectly and controlled most of the match, saving the three break points he faced.
Djokovic won his only Wimbledon title two years ago.
Bernard Tomic, whose father is barred from tour tournaments because of an assault case, defeated 21st-seeded Sam Querrey in five sets Tuesday to reach the second round of Wimbledon.
The 20-year-old Tomic, Australia's most promising player, won 7-6 (6), 7-6 (3), 3-6, 2-6, 6-3 after withstanding a flurry of 36 aces by the American.
Tomic's father and coach, John Tomic, may not attend Wimbledon, even as a paying spectator. He also was barred from the French Open. John Tomic has been charged in Spain with assaulting his son's hitting partner before the Madrid Open.
A Madrid court has postponed John Tomic's case until October. He is accused of head-butting Thomas Drouet near their hotel before the tournament.
Laura Robson became the first British woman to defeat a top-10 player at Wimbledon in 15 years when she upset 10th-seeded Maria Kirilenko 6-3, 6-4 Tuesday in the first round of the grass-court tournament.
The 19-year-old Robson followed in the footsteps of Sam Smith, who upset No. 7 Conchita Martinez in 1998.
After wrapping up the match with a forehand winner, Robson said "it was nerve-wracking before I served for it. I just wanted to focus and take it point by point. Any big win gives you a lot of confidence."
Dutch tennis player Arantxa Rus lost her 17th consecutive main-draw, tour-level match Tuesday at Wimbledon, equaling the longest WTA losing streak on record.
The 156th-ranked Rus was beaten 6-4, 6-2 by Russia's Olga Puchkova in the first round on Court 9 at the All England Club.
Rus' last victory in a tour-level match came last year on Aug. 19, when she defeated Romina Oprandi 7-5, 6-4 in the first round of a hard-court tournament at Grapevine, Texas. Two days later, Rus lost to Jelena Jankovic 7-6 (5), 6-2.
And so began what now is tied with the longest known losing streak in tour history. According to the WTA, Sandy Collins of the U.S. lost 17 matches in a row from 1984-87.
French Open runner-up David Ferrer overcame a second-set slump and a scary late fall to beat Martin Alund of Argentina 6-1, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 Tuesday in the first round of Wimbledon.
Coming off his first Grand Slam final, the fourth-seeded Spaniard looked in danger of following his countryman Rafael Nadal out of the tournament as Alund won the second set and pushed hard in the third. But Ferrer broke for a 6-5 lead and then went 5-1 up in the fourth. He had an injury scare at 3-1, however, when he fell to the ground and grimaced in pain after his left foot slid backward awkwardly on the grass. Ferrer eventually got back up, and went on to break Alund's serve again.
He served out the match with an ace.

"Andrew showed he was stronger than any of us and has never wavered in his commitment," says his father, Brian McMahon. "I'm extremely proud of what he's done with the Dear Jack Foundation, fighting leukemia and fighting for leukemia research; it's a mission for the rest of his life."
* * *
With his father in tow, McMahon shows up at the Viper Room's downstairs bar for a last-minute show he had booked to prep for a Jack's Mannequin tour, kicking off Feb. 5 in Seattle. "Welcome to band practice," McMahon tells the giddy crowd shortly after taking the stage. His parents, wife and Warner Bros. rep are in attendance, as are diehard fans who managed to purchase tickets for the sold-out show announced via the band's MySpace site that morning. At the door, people drop names in an effort to gain entrance.

Region: Anaheim
Guitarist Bobby Anderson grapples with a malfunctioning amp throughout the beginning of the show, affording McMahon a chance to deviate from the set list and debut a new song that he performs solo on piano. "Hanging out on Laguna Beach this summer, this was the first song I wrote," he says of "Ten Days Gone."
Returning to the set list, the four-piece elate fans with "The Lights and the Buzz." "We've never played this live," McMahon says of the iTunes single, which was the first song he wrote after his stem-cell transplant. His sonorous voice teems with a sense of optimism.
The group also perform "Diane, the Skyscraper" in concert for the first time and a killer rendition of U2's "New Year's Day." Highlights from their latest album, 2008's The Glass Passenger, include "Miss California" and "Hammers and Strings (A Lullaby)," the latter a touching ode to the piano dating back to McMahon's Something Corporate days, although no songs by that band are performed this evening. They close the approximately 90-minute set by leading the audience through a jubilant sing-along of Everything In Transit's "La La Lie."
Anderson joined Something Corporate as a touring member shortly before the band went on hiatus, and he has remained with McMahon since. Partington, now a third-year law student at Chapman University, keeps his chops up by teaching guitar at the Music Factory OC; the band rehearse in Orange to accommodate his school schedule. Page, who lives in Carlsbad, has taken what he has learned from his career as a musician and installs sound systems for concert venues and nightclubs. Ireland played drums with the rock band Streamline, based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, before recently returning to Orange County.
"All of us are excited to do a couple of shows and get the 'best of' [album] out and just do one thing at a time," Partington says. "If it looks like it works for everybody's schedule—timing is obviously a factor—let's do it. We've all thought about [a future/summer tour], but to announce it's happening is a little premature."
After returning from Jack's Mannequin's "Sing for Your Supper" tour, McMahon set up residence on Balboa Peninsula. There's still no confirmed date for the best-of release, which will be an album of "classics" and a bonus disc featuring such popular B-sides as "Konstantine" and the two newly recorded songs. With a second Something Corporate Bamboozle date in Chicago recently added, the pressing question remains: What's the band's future?
"Let's see how these two shows go before deciding if we go any further," McMahon says, minutes before heading off for band practice with his old pals.
Something Corporate play at Bamboozle, Angel Stadium of Anaheim, 2000 E. Gene Autry Way, Anaheim, (714) 940-2070;

SurfCube 3D, Now With Windows Phone 8 Support
As more and more developers optimize their apps for the HD resolution displays, SurfCube 3D did too receive an update, bumping its version number to v4.5.
If you can get around the awkward interface, SurfCube 3D will offer you a couple of features that are currently missing in the mobile version of Internet Explorer 10, such as: orientation lock and ability to open links in the background. However, we are pretty confident that the developer is mostly targeting WP7 users as they lack some of the more important features like bandwidth saver mode and a proper tab management.

Microsoft Wants You To Control Your Privacy
Prior the Data Privacy Day (January 28th), Microsoft has conducted a study whose goal was to learn more about people's online privacy perceptions. As it turns out, 45% of all the respondents felt like they had little to no control over their personal information with only 10% saying that know how to protect their online privacy.
Well, in an effort to educate the average consumer (who will never visit nor know about such initiative anyway), Microsoft has launched a new portal, which aims to demonstrate how the software giant uses various tools (such as IE's DNT header) to protect you from the "evil corporations".

Internet Explorer Celebrates The 90s (Video)
Now here is a shocker, after seeing tons of bland and idiotic ads from Microsoft (mostly promoting Windows 7, Vista and the likes), it looks like the software giant can actually produce a couple of decent ones in markets where they are failing and/or haven't established their foothold yet.
The latest example comes from Microsoft's ad agency for the IE Team, which produced the ad so good that it kind of makes you wanna use their product (that in case you are using something else right now).

Mozilla Reveals The Firefox OS Developer Preview Phone
Front reminds us of the iPhone.
After demonstrating Firefox OS on a couple of unbranded and bland looking devices, Mozilla has just announced two developer preview phones, and they do indeed look better than expected.
What is more interesting though are the specs. Although it was speculated that Firefox OS will be limited to the low and/or mid-range phones, developer devices are far from slow, which is both exciting and concerning. If these devices are an exception, we wonder how will developers be able to test their apps and make sure that they run smoothly on a far less powerful phone.

For better or worse, the very first pre-beta release does not include any drastic changes. On a positive note though, it should be pretty stable.

Liberals and progressives come unhinged when they hear many of us on the right quite routinely refer to the illegitimate presidential administration of their beloved Barack Obama as the "Obama Regime." But there's a very good reason, or more than one reason, why so many of refer to the executive branch of the government right now as a "Regime." As unpopular as Congress is, we don't call it a regime because it has been legitimately elected by the people, other than perhaps a few of the Senate seats, and a few House seats, stolen by the Democrats through voter fraud or their odious election theft of close elections via their rigged "recount" procedures run by Democrat-controlled boards.
The Regime obtained another four years in power last Fall through an election that was cheated and rigged through massive voter fraud in the key swing states and huge suppression of the vote on the right through the IRS suppression of the TEA party and conservative groups, the vicious slandering via television and radio ads of Mitt Romney designed to convince voters to stay home rather than turn out to vote for Romney, and intiimidation in some places of voters like what the New Black Panther Party did in Philadelphia in 2008 that the Regime made sure was not prosecuted.
Additionally, the 2008 Obama campaign engaged in massive voter fraud, thanks to all the help from ACORN and related organizations on the far left, and while it can be argued whether or not the weak campaign of John McCain could have or would have won that election, the Democrats did enhance the results with massive voter fraud.
And this was after Barack Obama essentially stole the Democrat nomination for president, in 2008, from Hillary via massive voter fraud in the primary process. The Obama campaign was quite effective in cheating in the caucus states, which he won just about all of those over Hillary (starting with Iowa) by busing far left rent-a-mobs to the caucuses to voter regardless of whether they were legitimate registered voters or not. While Hillary was not entirely innocent (busing in Massachusetts, New York and Vermont voters into New Hampshire to register and vote in the primary there, for example), by far most of the fraud committed in the 2008 nomination process was done by the Obama campaign.
Not only has Obama illegitimately gain the office of president, he has illegitimately abused the power of the office of president. Barack Obama and this Regime have been the most lawless and law-breaking in the country. Obama decided he didn't like the Defense of Marriage Act, so he illegally decided he wouldn't enforce it. Obama decided he didn't agree with the ruling of a federal judge concerning oil drilling after the spill off-shore near Lousiana, so he refused to abide by that federal court order. Obama has decided unilaterally and illegally that he wanted to post-pone implementing certain parts of ObamaCare, so he has just done so, without approval from Congress.
Obama has violated the Constitution in more areas then there are to mention here, but recently Senator Ted Cruz published a list of 76 of them. Some of them include firing the CEO of General Motors and massively abusing his power of executive orders to rule on matters in the White House that should be decided by the Congress.
In the last State of the Union Address, Obama made it clear that if Congress didn't act on the issues he wanted acted on, and pass bills he wanted pass, he would do it without them by acting like a dictator in the White House. He think he is one, and many on the far left have been urgning him to act like a dictator and circumvent the Congress and what ever he and the far left want done. There is even a book by Phil Kerpen titled Democracy Denied: How Obama is Ignoring You and Bypassing Congress to Radically Transform America - and How to Stop Him that documents this abuse of the process by the Regime.
In short, the president was illegitimately elected and has by far exceeeded his Constitutional authority and has governed illegitimately. For those reasons, he heads up what is very much not a small-d democratic administration but a lawless and illegitimately in power Regime. This is not an administation of a government of a free people, this is a Regime installed by election-theft by a cabal of left wing extremists that would never have been elected in free and fair elections by informed voters.
If it is still possible, we the people must do everything we can legally and politically to insure that the Obama Regime is not replaced by another far left Regime presided over by another president who wants to govern like the late Hugo Chavez did in Venezuela.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21, 2004 An Air Force HH-60 helicopter crewmember was killed and two others were injured when their aircraft crashed during a medical evacuation mission about 11 p.m. Oct. 20 east of Shindand, Afghanistan.
An Afghan civilian who was the person being evacuated also was injured. The injured were taken to a medical facility at Kandahar Air Field. No information was available on their condition.
In a written statement, military officials in Afghanistan said the accident was not the result of hostile action, and that the crash is under investigation. The coalition routinely uses helicopters to move personnel and supplies around Afghanistan. The HH-60 was not on a combat mission, officials said.
Elsewhere in the country, three U.S. soldiers and one interpreter were wounded following the detonation of an improvised explosive device in the Naka district Oct. 20.
One soldier was in critical condition, one was in serious condition, and the third soldier and the interpreter were in stable condition, officials said. Two Humvees were destroyed in the incident.
(Compiled from news releases provided by the Coalition Press Information Center, Kabul, Afghanistan.)

COLUMBUS –Michael Spillan, 44, of Gahanna was sentenced to 140 months in prison, and his wife, Melissa Spillan, 41, was sentenced to 36 months in prison for operating a fraudulent stock-based loan scheme that caused at least 38 victims to lose $19,695,579.17.
Mark T. D'Alessandro, Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, Edward J. Hanko, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Daniel M. McDermott, U.S. Trustee for Region 9, announced the sentences imposed by U.S. District Judge Edmund A. Sargus, Jr.
They were also ordered to pay restitution to all of their victims.
The Spillans owned several companies in central Ohio including One Equity Corporation, Triangle Equities Group, Inc., Victory Management Group, Inc., and Dafcan Finance, Inc.
Between 2003 and 2008, the Spillans made low-interest loans to their victims who transferred shares of stock to the Spillans for them to hold as collateral against the loans. The Spillans promised to return the stock to the borrowers once the loans were repaid. The Spillans sold the stock without the borrowers' knowledge instead of holding the shares and used the proceeds to fund other loans or for their own personal gain.
In April 2011, they each pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud, mail fraud and wire fraud. Michael Spillan also pleaded guilty to one count of securities fraud, one count of wire fraud, and one count of mail fraud.
D'Alessandro commended the investigation conducted by FBI agents. D'Alessandro also commended Financial Crimes Chief Brenda Shoemaker and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Dean P. Wyman with the U.S. Trustees Office, who prosecuted the case.
Help us combat the proliferation of sexual exploitation crimes against children.

The search for the Golden Palace of the Himalayas begins…
I know from my own experiences that you don't just snap into being a horny little kid… it takes time and experience. When I was first starting to notice girls… I wasn't craving to just find nipples and beavers… Honestly, at first, I was a little scared of seeing those images. I often would get made fun of by my brothers growing up because if I saw a little "too much" of a woman I would get a little freaked out.
Obviously, things would change. As time went on, I would be exposed to a little more skin and imagery because of the media, something Eugene doesn't really have the advantage of. But in Eugene's favor is the expansion of his imagination because it is really all he has. So as an actor, it's been a really creative process to see how these opposing experiences could create what I believe Eugene is going through in regards to what stage he is in this play. My own experiences gave me a slow rise to discovering the whole female body, while Eugene's experiences from the play show he is craving for the whole package right away. So in Eugene's life right now, I am playing it that he has gone through the beginning stages of puberty. He's seen some risqué pictures in his life… but nothing compared to what he would die for. You don't get too far with cartoon images of Betty Boop, as hot as she may be. Eugene is past the point of fear of the unknown. He is ready to face the unknown head on.
So because Eugene wants everything he can get right now at this time, but doesn't have the resources, it makes complete sense for Eugene to be fascinated by his cousin's perfect breasts. They're big, defined, and laid on a perfectly shaped body. And since they are living together… why not take advantage of that access? When you're going through puberty, you take whatever images you can get.
It may seem silly, but Eugene's main goal in this play is to find the Golden Palace of the Himalayas. While all the other members of the family are fighting for something a little more serious in the real world, it doesn't mean that puberty isn't just as serious. Eugene's character is blessed to have such a hopeful and optimistic attitude… he is the only one that keeps the family going. He annoys the crap out of everyone, but the family still loves him because he always has a smile on. As we as a cast and ensemble have learned, the smile on everyone's face is what gets through the hard times.
So call Eugene a pervert, call him a brat, call him a pest... call him ridiculous for craving girls. But know that through all of that is a warm-hearted soon to be man who will some day play for the major leagues. He doesn't need to worry about being a writer because he already is one when you sit down in your seat. And he couldn't be more excited to tell his story!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 – Review
The final installment in the Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2″, arrive in theaters worldwide this Friday and the reviews are overwhelmingly positive. This review from canada.com's, David Yates gives the film an unheard of 5 stars. I am definitely going to see this one.
Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Ralph Fiennes, Alan Rickman, Michael Gambon and Maggie Smith
Directed by: David Yates
PG: Intense violence, frightening images
Running time: 130 minutes
Rating: 5 stars
It's the quality of one's convictions that determines success, not the number of followers." Maybe so, Professor Lupin, but Harry Potter has found success on both fronts.
The seven films to date have earned almost a billion dollars each, so it's obvious their followers are legion. But this is also a series that takes itself seriously, never more so than in this, the deathly finale.
The story starts quietly. Even in the wizarding world, there's a time for talk and a time for action, as writer Steve Kloves (with the series since the beginning, save The Order of the Phoenix) and director David Yates (bringing the story home with the final four films) have clearly learned.
Thus, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) spends some time interrogating an ancient wand seller (John Hurt) and a wizened bank teller (Warwick Davis) about magical weapons before vaulting into the film's first big set piece. It's an underground bank raid that combines elements of the trash compactor from Star Wars, the sorcery scene in Fantasia, and Indiana Jones' mine car ride. Also, a dragon.
This being the last stop on the line, Harry and his pals Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) are free to leave rubble in their wake, and they do so spectacularly. The demolition of Gringotts bank is just the beginning of the end.
Horcruxes (bits of bad-guy soul) fall like dominoes, and Hogwarts, their alma mater, takes a shellacking -though not before literally defending itself against the evil hordes of Voldemort -whose name, I've only just learned, derives from the French for "fly from death." Someone's been studying languages along with the dark arts.
The cinematic story stretches back to 2001, when Radcliffe was just a wee lad of 12. Thank heavens he and the rest of the young cast (no worries when it comes to the likes of Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman, Michael Gambon, et al) have also grown as actors.
Despite the fact friends and foes still insist on calling him "boy," this was the first Potter film in which I fully accepted Harry as an adult. "I trusted the man I knew," Harry tells Aberforth Dumbledore (played by Ciaran Hinds) of his character's brother, the late headmaster Albus Dumbledore. It's spoken with the gravitas of a grown-up.
There was some grumbling from fans when Warner Bros. announced that J.K. Rowling's seventh and final book, The Deathly Hallows, would be split into two parts. The studio was accused of carrying out its own Gringotts raid.
But the final chapter needs the extra time to breathe, and to allow each character a final, fanthrilling close-up. Harry and Ron doff their shirts. (There was some unmanly squealing at the Canadian premiere when it looked like Hermione might do likewise.) Ron and Hermione get a From Here to Eternity lip-lock. Even the faithful Quidditch brooms have one last flight, although the pitch is in flames.
The plot finds Harry, Ron and Hermione racing against time to destroy He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named-But-We're-Going-To-Anyway, played by Ralph Fiennes. Voldemort is rallying his followers for a final attack on Harry, while the young wizards collect and destroy the last few Horcruxes in hopes of rendering the Dark Lord vincible.
The quest leads them back to Hogwarts, where one particularly difficult-to-find object is hidden. Harry learns that he has -literally -a ghost of a chance of finding it. The action is backed by an amazingly apposite score from Alexandre Desplat, whose work in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The King's Speech and now here has made him my new favourite composer. (Sorry, James Horner.) Loud when it needs to be, the score is also frequently as quiet as a tomb. Yet there are moments when one can detect almost infrasonic rumblings, as though kettledrum-playing elephants were riding a subway beneath the cinema floor. It's shiver-inducing.
The film, like the books, ends with a brief coda set 19 years in the future. Let's just say of it that Ron has finally tamed that mop of hair. Shorter than the interminable farewells in The Lord of the Rings, this final scene feels, like the rest of the movie, perfectly paced and entirely satisfying.
It is -dare I say? -magical.

While companies like Facebook, Amazon and Uber have embraced connectivity and distributed technologies to transform the ways we socialize, shop and travel, our energy system has changed little since the time of Thomas Edison.
Looking at grid-connected solar-plus-battery systems
Bodhi Rader, a senior associate in the electricity practice at Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) and a former energy industry analyst at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, gives us a look inside RMI's recent "Economics of Load Defection" study.
Case studies in renewables integration and the evolving grid
Strategy is easy, my friends. Planning is hard. So, here are 10 disruptions to the utility industry to research as you lay out a road map to weather industry change. I have no doubt you'll all survive the "revolution," but good planning can help you make this change a positive and not an emergency.
Scott Samuelsen, director of the National Fuel Cell Research Center and professor of mechanical, aerospace and environmental engineering at the University of California, Irvine, gives us a rundown of the power of fuel cells.
Steven Collier, writing here as an IEEE smart grid expert, examines the "daunting challenges for planning, deployment, operations, and management of infrastructure, procurement and utilization of resources and provision of services" within our future urban areas.
We sat down with Guerry Waters, vice president of industry strategy at Oracle Utilities, to talk about issues a utility needs to start work on this year and, specifically, how every utility can tackle big data.
DONG Energy is Denmark's largest energy company. For this installment of the utility2utility article series, we spoke to Ivan K. Pedersen, head of DONG's Power Hub about renewables and partnerships.
We asked insiders at Intel, PJM and UAI what they see as the biggest issues to tackle through 2020 for this industry and how we do just that--tackle them.
Beyond the pure aesthetic aspect, there's been growing concern with consumers on how wind farms may impact individual real estate prices. In other words, will that view of the Tehachapi Pass Wind Farm that I find an uplifting road trip memory be a real downer for surrounding landowners when they go to sell? Researchers have studied this, actually. Here are the results.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration recently released their annual short-term energy outlook. For the first time, it looks ahead farther than ever—into 2015. So, what does it predict for the future of power in the U.S.? We'll give you the highlights and the warnings in three easy steps.
Patrick G. McHugh, vice president of Brooklyn/Queens electric operations, and Margarett L. Jolly, director, research and development, discuss the utility's solar project with Jetro Cash and Carry in the Bronx, including the details to install a behemoth 1.56-megawatt array of 4760 Sunpower E20 panels atop Jetro's store and warehouse.
Ralph Masiello, an IEEE smart grid technical expert and an IEEE Life Fellow, writes about microgrid uses, complications and solutions.
Lena Hansen, principal with the Rocky Mountain Institute's electricity practice, writes, "Distributed resources—rooftop photovoltaic (PV), electric vehicles, demand response and even storage—are not only here to stay but are increasingly likely to catalyze a transformation in grid operations, planning, and design; customer engagement; and information flow."
"Simple is good"
Rick Tempchin, executive director of retail energy services for the Edison Electric Institute, asks us to take another look at net metering and how it impacts the economy of power.
In all honesty, utilities have wanted transactive energy for years. As the market becomes more open, utilities have lagged behind because their product isn't priced by ability to supply or quantity of demand. Transactive energy could change all of that (for good or bad, depending on where you're at geographically and in consumption and, also, how much you're willing to pay attention to fluctuations).
Transactive energy markets hold the promise to achieve economic efficiency and reliability across the bulk power system and distribution networks. This research area was identified in the Caltech Resnick Sustainability Institute's Grid2020 report released last fall, and was the topic of the third discussion of the series in April 2013 (reviewed in this article).
Insights from Caltech's Grid 2020 series: By 2020, nearly 30 percent of total U.S. resource capacity may come from customers' generation and responsive demand. Keys to making these policies successful as we reach tipping points of customer adoption are getting the pricing right and creating new services for customer resources, says Paul De Martini, Resnick Institute Visiting Scholar, Caltech.
Widespread adoption of rooftop solar and other forms of distributed generation and responsive demand is transforming the mix of resources used to meet customers' energy needs and manage the grid, speakers at Caltech's Resnick Institute's Grid2020 discussion series revealed.

Preserving the Past, Informing the Future
|Skip Navigation Links
Talcott Huntington Russell, for many years a distinctive figure at the New Haven bar, was born in New Haven, March 14th, 1847, and died still a resident of that city on October 18th, 1917. He was a son of the founder of the famous Russell School.
He was graduated from Yale College in 1869 and after a year at the Yale Law School and a further year at the Columbia Law School was graduated from the latter institution in 1871.
Throughout his professional life he was actively engaged in general practice and was counsel in many important cases in the trial courts and in the Supreme Court of Errors - among them a series of insurance litigations reported in the 68th and 70th Connecticut, the case of Lewisohn v. Stoddard, 78 Conn. 575, which had to do with the liability of stockholders in foreign corporations, State v. Glidden, 55 Conn. 46, one of the formative cases on the law of boycott, and Dawson v. Orange, 78 Conn. 96, which blazed the way in the law as to suits to quiet title.
For a number of years beginning with 1878 Mr. Russell was engaged as receiver in closing up the affairs of the American National Life and Trust Company and argued at least one of its cases in the United States Supreme Court. For eight years beginning with 1892 he was instructor in the law of municipal corporations in the Yale Law School.
He was one of the first members of the Conference on Uniform State Laws and served for many years as its treasurer and the chairman of its committee on commercial law.
He was one of the pioneers in workmen's compensation and on the passing of the Connecticut Compensation Act became the first chairman of the Board of Commissioners.
He was married on December 10th, 1889, to Geraldine Whittemore Low of New Haven, who survives, and left two sons, Phillip Gary Russell and William Low Russell. He was thus throughout a Connecticut man.
Mr. Russell was one who took his share in his place and time in the effort toward better conditions of human rights and a better realization of human duties. He was in the advance line helping actively and actually to smooth the progress and the process of society toward the ends in view.
He was sincere, earnest, high strung, impetuous and high-minded, with a store of literary treasure, a fund of poetry and a love of art.
Of a rugged exterior and abrupt in speech, he was intolerant of meanness, and unsparing of rebuke where he thought rebuke was called for but never forgetful of the proper limits of criticism or of the fact that no man is infallible in judging his fellows.
In rendering his service to the public there was a constant willingness to support good causes, were they popular or unpopular, with strong powers of persistent endeavor. He brought to the service of his clients, rugged honesty, untiring devotion to their interest and a great force of simple and direct expression. He brought to the service of friendship a warm heart, frank speech, and an absolute sincerity of word and thought.
It was a matter of keen regret to the governor who had appointed him and to the bar and public that he did not live to long direct the administration of the Workmen's Compensation Act in the establishment of which he had such a vital part. He will, however, long be remembered as one who gave the system its first impetus and direction as well as for a career at the bar conspicuous in many ways.

Event marks late author Edith Wharton's birth date
An event at late author Edith Wharton's former home will mark the week of what would have been the Pulitzer Prize winner's 151st birthday.
On Saturday afternoon, officials at The Mount will host a celebration that will include free admission, guided tours, cake and a scavenger hunt for children.
Wharton bought the 113-acre property in Lenox in 1902 and designed its house and gardens.
It is designated as a national historic landmark.
The author of works including "Ethan Frome" and "The Age of Innocence," Wharton wrote her best-selling book "The House of Mirth" at the estate.
She was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for fiction.

Susie Wolff made her full test debut with former champions Williams on the final day of the Young Driver Testa at Silverstone, the biggest step by a woman driver in Formula 1 for more than 20 years – and the consensus was she did a good job – with grand prix regulars paying her compliments.
"I think she was pretty good, she was pretty quick and that's really fantastic to see a lady driving Formula 1," Ferrari's Felipe Massa told reporters after the final day of a young driver test at Silverstone.
"I was really happy when I saw the lap times and pretty happy for her."
Wolff, now 30, may not be a young driver but she was as thrilled as any of those making their test debuts after completing 89 laps and setting the ninth fastest time of the 16 drivers on track during the day.
Her best lap of 1:35.093 seconds compared to the day's fastest of 1:32.894 set by triple champion Sebastian Vettel in his Red Bull.
"It was important for me to show I had the performance," the Scot, wife of Mercedes motorsport head and Williams shareholder Toto Wolff, told reporters.
"It was fantastic today. The team did a great job getting me through the day, talking me through everything step by step.
"Physically it wasn't easy but it was what I was expecting. I was well prepared so it was completely manageable," added the development driver who spent seven seasons racing in the DTM (German Touring Car) series but scored only four points.
Formula 1 has not had a female driver in decades, with Italian Giovanna Amati the last to try to get on the grid when she failed to qualify in 1992. Compatriot Lella Lombardi was the last to start a race, in 1976.
Wolff has taken part in straight-line aerodynamic tests, without other racing drivers present, and as development driver was the first to drive this year's car.
"After such a tough end to my DTM career, many people presumed that I was just always at the back and wasn't quick enough but I think today can show that that was possibly an unfair judgement," said the Briton.
She added, "DTM is difficult to get in the right position to get in a winning car, I was never in that position, so for me it was about going out there and showing what I can do. As much as I was nervous about today I also saw it as a brilliant opportunity. There's not many people that get a young driver day, there's only a handful of us, and it was my chance to show everybody what I was capable of."
"It was important to show that given the limited number of laps that I had I can be on the pace and I was only four tenths off the Formula 3 European champion [Daniel Juncadella, who tested for Williams on Thursday], the guy who's rated as an up-and-coming young star," Wolff pointed out.
"And if that has more meaning for other people because I am female then of course I'll use that to my advantage. But I'm not going to play that card as a way of 'give me the right now because I'm a girl and I was fast enough'. At the end of the day there was a lot of great performances over the three days, we're all fighting hard to get into Formula 1 and I've got to also keep fighting hard."
Williams chief engineers Xevi Pujolar said, "Susie did a great job for us today. We did some aero tests this morning while she familiarised herself with the car and then we moved onto some performance and development work with her."
"In the afternoon we combined some general running with live pitstop practice, which is an area we are keen to improve ahead of the next race. We made some good progress and Susie was good at stopping on the mark every time," added Pujolar.
Spaniard Maria De Villota was appointed test driver for Marussia last year, before she lost an eye in an accident during an aerodynamic test in England. However she never took part in a general test with other drivers.
Britain's Katherine Legge also tested a Minardi in Italy in 2005. (Reuters-Apex)

'Ghostbusters' Is Getting Re-Released For 30th Anniversary
The biggest problem with the concept of 'Ghostbusters 3' is the fact that 'Ghostbusters' still very much exists and is pretty much perfect. This fact will be reconfirmed when the original is re-released later this summer as part of the film's 30th anniversary celebration, which will also include a new Blu-ray release.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Fault in Our Stars' Cruises Past 'Edge of Tomorrow'
Ah, the summer. The time of the year where the box office is ruled by superhero movies, science fiction extravaganzas and, uh, slightly quirky cancer weepies. What? For reasons that will baffle some people, 'The Fault in Our Stars' effortlessly took the number one spot at the box office this weekend, gliding past its bigger, more expensive and more ferocious competition and making it look easy.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Maleficent' Casts a Spell Over the Box Office
We're knee-deep in the summer movie season and the hits just keep on coming. Despite mixed buzz, 'Maleficent' opened very strong, not coming close to the massive numbers of the past few weekends, but certainly holding its own. However, the success of Disney's latest live action effort meant that the weekend's other big release, Seth MacFarlane's 'A Million Ways to Die in the West,' fared less well.

The latest incident involves a bachelor party in Charleston, South Carolina, which Murray crashed to deliver a truly incredible speech.
'Kingsman: The Secret Service' Trailer: Colin Firth Goes Full 007
Colin Firth is normally the last actor you'd imagine playing a suave and deadly secret agent in the James Bond mold, but he looks right at home in the trailer for 'Kingsman: The Secret Service' (formally known just as 'The Secret Service'). The Oscar-winning actor appears to be brilliantly cast against type in the Matthew Vaughn film, which sees a veteran super-spy taking a young delinquent under his wing and training him to be England's next great secret defender.

The Memorial Day weekend brought with it the third Marvel superhero movie of 2014 and like 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' and 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2,' 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' opened to over $90 million at the box office. Sure, people online keep on wondering if audiences are getting tired of comic book films, but the box office keeps on saying otherwise.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Godzilla' is King of the Box Office
Everyone expected 'Godzilla' to take the number one spot at the box office this weekend, but few people saw it doing business that rivals 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' and 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2.'

should be held responsible and accountable for well design, well construction, and the suitability of the rig and associated safety equipment. Notwithstanding the above, the drilling contractor should be held responsible and accountable for the operation and safety of the offshore equipment.9
Recommendation 6.21: In carrying out its regulatory responsibilities, BSEE should view operating companies as taking full responsibility for the safety of offshore equipment and its use.
Recommendation 6.22: While the operating company is recognized to have the principal responsibility for compliance with rules and regulations governing offshore operations, BSEE should require the partner companies (as co-lease holders) to have a "see to" responsibility to ensure that the operator conducts activities in such a manner that risk is as low as reasonably practicable.
Summary Recommendation 6.23: BSEE and other regulators should undertake efforts to expand significantly the formal education and training of regulatory personnel engaged in offshore drilling roles to support proper implementation of system safety.
Recommendation 6.24: BSEE should exert every effort to recruit, develop, and retain experienced and capable technical experts with critical domain competencies.
Summary Recommendation 6.25: BSEE and other regulators should foster an effective safety culture through consistent training, adherence to principles of human factors, system safety, and continued measurement through leading indicators.
Recommendation 6.26: As a regulator, BSEE should enhance its internal safety culture to provide a positive example to the drilling industry through its own actions and the priorities it establishes.

Scientists have reportedly determined that a recently documented species of bacteria generates a chemical capable of killing anthrax, suggesting a future treatment for the bioterrorism agent could make use of the microorganism found last year off the California coast.
Analysts at the University of California (San Diego) collaborated with Trius Therapeutics to examine the bacteria-generated substance dubbed "anthracimycin," the school said in a Wednesday press release.
"The discovery of truly new antibiotic compounds is quite rare," team leader William Fenical said in released comments. "This discovery adds to many previous discoveries that show that marine bacteria are genetically and chemically unique."

2 (10 ounce) cans
artichoke hearts in water, drained
1/2 cup
Italian-style salad dressing
1 cup
shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (3 ounce) can
French-fried onions
This was a simple, flavorful side dish. Instead of Italian dressing I used marinated artichoke hearts and just added a little salt before the first baking.
This was ok. I am not the biggest fan of Italian dressing,so I thought the dressing overpowered the artichokes. Next time I try this I will sub Olive Oil for the Italian dressing

Great and simple way to prepare artichoke hearts. You can play with this recpe alot and unless you're an Italian dressing nut I would suggest a lighter marinade (slightly seasoned EVOO works just fine). I make variations of this dish on a regular basis.
This dish was super simple to make, and very yummy to eat. I used marinated artichokes, so I eliminated the italian dressing. I will certainly make this dish again. I think it would work really well as an appetizer, or buffet dish.
I have never been too fond of just artichoke hearts in themselves but found this to be quite tasty. I added in some diced mushrooms and my own preferred spice varitey to give it that special zest. . .
As a big artichoke fan, I was disappointed with this recipe. It was bland and uninteresting, not at all what I expected.
I took LorraineT's advice, and just used marinated artichoke hearts. Maybe the original recipe is intended to be a "lite" version? Anyway, I would also add more cheese!
Good but too vinegary. Might cut the Italian Dressing and use milk, italian spices and water in place.

I see what you did there. How many pixels, you say? Certainly no more than pages and pages of icons ;).
Or, you know, a pretty solar system background and some icons. I say, why not? It's about freakin time we get some decent resolution for windows laptops. This 720p bs isn't cutting it.

Running Snort on a Solaris 7 firewall
Situation: We are using the Snort Lightweight Intrusion Detection system on our Solaris 7 firewall. The firewall has two network interfaces--hme0 is the internal interface, qfe0 is the external interface. After downloading, compiling, and installing Snort, here are the steps I used to monitor both firewall interfaces with Snort. Note: I found it convenient to place the Snort executable, configuration, rules, and classification file in the same directory.
Create a directory for the Snort executable, rules, and classification file:
mkdir /usr/local/snort
Move the Snort executable file into /usr/local/snort:
mv /usr/local/bin/snort /usr/local/snort
Move the *.rules and classification.config from your Snort tarball into /usr/local/snort:
mv *.rules classification.config /usr/local/snort
Make two copies of the snort.conf file from your Snort tarball into /usr/local/snort:
cp snort.conf /usr/local/snort/snort_hme0.conf
cp snort.conf /usr/local/snort/snort_qfe0.conf
Create Snort logfile directories:
mkdir -p /var/log/snort/hme0
mkdir /var/log/snort/qfe0
6. Create an /etc/init.d/snort startup and shutdown script. The following file will run an instance of Snort in daemon mode for each network interface, log the alerts in separate directories, and log the payload of each packet.
case $1 in
'start' )
/usr/local/snort/snort -Afull -i hme0 -d -c /usr/local/snort/snort_hme0.conf
-D -l /var/log/snort/hme0
/usr/local/snort/snort -Afull -i qfe0 -d -c /usr/local/snort/snort_qfe0.conf
-D -l /var/log/snort/qfe0
'stop' )
kill `ps -ef | grep snort | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'` > /dev/null 2>&1 ;;
echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}"
7. Create Snort
system startup/shutdown links:
ln -s /etc/init.d/snort /etc/rc2.d/S99snort
ln -s /etc/init.d/snort /etc/rc1.d/K55snort

Natural Selection
On my list of movies to see was Natural Selection. It is a movie that should be on many people's films lists. This is a story of a devoted Christian woman, not only standing by her husband but, engulfing herself on a mission to unite her husband and his illegitimate son. Though, Linda's husband was planting his seed in various gardens for the past 25 years, she still stood by her man. You don't see that too often. It is certainly a heart warming and gut turning movie all at the same time. You get mad and then are immediately left in awe by the power of God and love. Though, I am not a soul bearing Christian, it is always nice to see someone who seems to be a pure Christian and doing what is right. The part that makes this one of the best movies is that she and the foul mouthed, mullet-headed, ex-con son that she was in search of, have a very meaningful relationship in the end.
