Lack of capacity fuels global battles over power suppliers
Tuesday 13 May 2008
On the face of it, the two deals, announced yesterday on opposite sides of the Atlantic, looked entirely unrelated.
Chloride Group, a provider of "uninterrupted power supply"—big batteries and smart technology boxes that keep the servers running and the refineries pumping in the event of a blackout—yesterday rejected a £657m takeover bid from American industrial conglomerate Emerson.
Having recently hiked its growth forecasts against a "background of deteriorating power quality" around the world, the company is predicting major growth in demand for its kit. The approach, it said, "materially undervalued" its business. Emerson, a company that has built itself into the largest supplier of power equipment to the oil industry through a string of acquisitions, is not keen to be drawn into paying much more for the company. If it can't reach an agreed deal with Chloride's board, it may just look elsewhere.
International Power meanwhile agreed to pay £439m to the US buyout group Warburg Pincus for four power plants in the mid-west and eastern part of the United States: plants that will spend most of their lives standing idle. The "peaking" plants make most of their money via subsidies from government in America, which pays for them to be kept "hot"—something akin to idling an engine—so that they can immediately go into action when demand spikes surpass the capabilities of the fleet of plants in place to provide baseload power. Much less efficient than so-called combined-cycle plants, which utilise waste heat from one turbine to power another, the peaking plants are built to run only when they can capture the high prices companies will pay when demand is highest.
There is a commonality to both transactions. Both can be boiled down to an issue that has economists increasingly worried: energy supply and security. There is a causal relationship between energy usage and economic growth. It was a point made yesterday by Rodrigo de Rato. In a speech in London on energy's role in the economy, the former head of the International Monetary Fund issued a stark warning about the growing gap between demand and new supply.
"Since 2006 we've seen more and more constraints of supply," he said. Manifested in part by the soaring price of oil, he pointed out that under-investment in new supply has become severe, calling it "very dangerous for growth. It is clearly a constraint." He added: "There is no question that we are at a peak in term of energy prices, but we are also at a low in terms of spare capacity."
In short, economies can't continue to grow if they are starved of the power they need to do so. With power scarcity worsening, it is of little surprise that price inflation is rampant. The oil price has reached new highs almost weekly in recent months. Centrica, the country's biggest energy supplier, yesterday warned of unprecedented increases to household energy bills, coming as they would on top of the average 15 per cent hikes pushed through earlier this year. Economists had already begun to fret that rising bills were diverting money that would otherwise be spent on other sectors of the economy, adding another brake on growth. In response to Centrica's hints yesterday, Joe Malinowski of the energyshop.com said: "Now would be a good time to start panicking."
Thus far, emerging economies like China and India have been proceeding relatively unscathed by the problems being experienced by the likes of the United States – which is sliding toward recession if it's not there already – and much of Europe. Yet the sheer rate of growth in the developing world has begun to put the energy system under increasingly heavy strain. China, India and South Africa all hit the headlines this year after power cuts led entire industries – especially the power-hungry mining industries of China and South Africa – to shut down for days at a time. Thousands of Indians took to the streets earlier this month after swathes of the country were left without electricity. The growth of these economies is acting as a ballast against the global economy following America and Europe on their downward slope. If they are dulled, it could exacerbate an already deteriorating situation.
It is little wonder then why Emerson has shown such an interest in Chloride. Earlier this year, the company opened regional offices in Singapore and Russia to capitalise on the opportunities in those burgeoning markets. Specialising in high-end sectors like information technology, financial services and oil and gas, the company's clients will happily pay to keep the lights on when sudden shut-downs can damage sensitive equipment or lead to data loss. Chloride also ensures that the power that does come through is "clean", evening out the spikes and troughs that come through the system and can be potentially ruinous.
The deteriorating energy backdrop means that Chloride's services can command an increasingly high premium. It also bodes well for those providing the desperation wattage – like International Power's new acquisitions. In the two regions in which the new plants are located, spare generation capacity is predicted to fall sharply every year out to 2013. That will force prices ever higher. "The tightening supply-demand conditions are the rationale for this investment," an International Power spokeswoman said.

Ten startups took the stage yesterday, showcasing their innovative approaches toward creating better health care outcomes to investors, sponsors, and mentors. Healthbox and its anchor partner, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (BCBSMA), selected these ten companies in August to participate in a rigorous three-month accelerator program based in Cambridge, MA. As part of the day, event attendees voted on which company they thought presented the most creative solution for an industry need. The company with the most votes received an additional $25,000.
"During the past twelve weeks, our accelerator partnership with Healthbox has built a community of more than 100 business leaders who have provided the ten entrepreneurs with intensive support to develop and launch their health care innovations," said Andrew Dreyfus, President and CEO of BCBSMA. "These promising businesses have already created new jobs and have great potential to change how we provide quality, affordable health care."
The ten companies that presented their progress to hundreds of leading health care executives and investors are:
- Aavya Health: created a web-based tool that transforms laboratory tests into rich, dynamic tools to help patients achieve meaningful insight into their health and motivate healthy behaviors.
- Abiogenix: developed the uBox, an intelligent pillbox that reminds, records and restricts when patients take their medication. The information is transmitted wirelessly to the cloud where it is analyzed for third parties including care circles, physicians and payers.
- Bon'App: will be the new standard for nutritional information. The easy to access iPhone and web-based application allows consumers to easily understand calories, sugar, salt and bad fat within food.
- GeckoCap: designed a cap that goes on an asthma inhaler that will be utilized as a platform to improve poor pediatric asthma adherence. The smart tool reminds children, sends tracking to parents and informs clinicians with usage data.
- Gweepi Medical: developed the Smart Brief system, which streamlines incontinence management by placing a sensor in the diaper, reducing direct and indirect costs for a skilled nursing facility.
- Healthy Delivery: established an online service that curates balanced, nutritious meal options and allows users to select a week's worth of meals utilizing a proprietary algorithm to adhere to users' preferences and restrictions. The food for the meals is delivered to the consumer's doorstep.
- iQuartic: uses proprietary analytics to provide delivery systems with accurate insights into quality benchmarking, value-based payment optimization and chronic disease management.
- Smart Scheduling: applies data analytics to physician office records to enable administrators to optimize daily appointment scheduling, improving provider productivity.
- Uprise Medical: designed iPad applications that curate existing patient education content, allowing physicians to administer customized education at the point of care and track adherence.
- Yosko: an iPad-based, single-login physician portal that connects to and integrates with different EMRs to improve efficiency and achieve better outcomes.
At the end of the event, Healthy Delivery was presented with the $25,000 Healthbox Innovator Award, voted on by Innovation Day attendees, for demonstrating that their solution was the most creative approach to solving a large industry need.
"Healthbox is honored to support ten startups that are truly tackling the critical issues in health care," said Nina Nashif, Founder and CEO of Healthbox. "Due to the support of our anchor partner, Blue Cross, and our strategic partners, Express Scripts, HLM Venture Partners and Long River Ventures, these ten companies have made significant progress in three months and are better poised to have a tremendous impact on the healthcare industry."
In addition to the company pitches, the following panels of health care experts provided insight into how provider effectiveness, health and wellness and patient engagement are driving innovation:
- Provider effectiveness: Michael Sachs, Chairman and CEO, Sg2 and Tom Hawkins, Medical Director Health Informatics, BCBSMA, discussed approaches to encourage hospitals, doctors and other clinicians to deliver more efficient, coordinated care while improving quality outcomes.
- Health and wellness: Gigi Fioravanti Lyons, Senior Program Manager Wellness Strategy, BCBSMA and Andrew Sykes, Chairman, Health at Work, discussed the innovations in promoting and maintaining healthy behaviors.
- Patient engagement: Alexandra Drane, Founder, Chief Visionary Officer and Chair of the Board at Eliza Corporation and Devorah Klein, Principal at Continuum, discussed breakthroughs in the process to empower patients to take control of their own care.

WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was. You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome," is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.

Abba's House will be hosting a free screening of a new faith based film called Finding Faith on Friday, Feb. 15, at 6:30 p.m. Erik Estrada, starring in the film, will be at the screening.
Childcare will be provided for ages 6 weeks – 5th grade, but they must be pre-registered at www.abbashouse.com. Everyone is welcome to attend the screening.
Mr. Estrada is best known for his leading role in the television series, ChiPs. Since that program, he has appeared in a long list of movies, television shows, and reality programs. Mr. Estrada is also the national celebrity spokesman for the Safe Surfin' Foundation, the creators of the film Finding Faith.
Review for Finding Faith:
Finding Faith is a full-length narrative motion picture that tells the true story of how a family found 'Faith' in their battle to find and rescue their 14-year old daughter 'Faith,' who accidentally falls victim to an online predator.
Finding Faith highlights the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force edge-of-your seat efforts to rescue children from predators, often right before these children come to great harm. Even the tightest families and most guarded parents often cannot stop predators who have perfected their evil trade.
The film is based entirely on true events and observations from experts. It will wake parents, educators and concerned citizens to how children are being targeted.
The screening at Abba's House is part of a National Awareness Tour that Mr. Estrada and the film's creator and executive director for the Safe Surfin' Foundation are doing to bring consciousness to this issue.
In today's world, pretty much all parents have had the conversation about technology and the challenges in keeping our kids protected online or on their smart phones. Whether being concerned about your elementary-aged child learning to use search engines or managing your high schooler's growing dependency on social networking sites, this film is both entertaining and extremely educational.
For more information about Finding Faith, visit the film's website at www.FindingFaithFilm.com.

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter- WWE's website did 12.5 million unique visitors in May, down 9% from the 13.7 million in May of 2011. WWE's shop website averaged 645 orders per day in May, down 23% from May of 2011.
- Word is that DirecTV has no interest in carrying the WWE Network, which would knock about 30% of its potential revenue off. There's been talk that very few cable carriers are committing to paying a per subscriber rate for WWE's Network, which is what the company was counting on for profitability. The alternative is to be like HBO or Showtime and charge a subscription fee directly to consumers.
There's still no official word on when the Network will launch but they cut a new commercial for it this past week that should begin airing soon.

Detroit Lions 2013 NFL Mock Draft, Week 2: 7 Rounds
Detroit Lions Seven-Round Mock Draft: Reggie Bush Changes Pick
It has been a busy free agency week for the Detroit Lions. The rumblings were out there that moves could be made, but with limited room under the cap, no one knew what president Tom Lewand could do.
What he did was ask stud Ndamukong Suh to restructure his deal, and then he began to stock the shelves. Running back Reggie Bush was added from the Miami Dolphins. He then brought in safety Glover Quin from the Houston Texans and defensive end Jason Jones from the Seattle Seahawks.
With Bush, the team adds another play maker to their offensive set-up. The team still needs that No. 2 receiver to take some of the heat of Calvin Johnson.
The linebacker core is still lacking its stud, and it seems that will be done by the draft. My week 2 predictions don't vary too much from my week 1 selections. There isn't a need for a running back, but there is still a need to shore up the defensive backfield. The team resigned safety Louis Delmas along with cornerbacks Chris Houston and Amari Spievey, but the desire to upgrade is still there and now one of the picks can be used to increase the depth on the offensive line.
The 2013 NFL Draft is only six weeks away, and teams are still going through college pro days. The evaluation will continue right up to Thursday, April 25. The Lions have already made a splash in free agency, and will look to do the same with their draft selections.
First Round: Jarvis Jones, Outside Linebacker, Georgia
The Jarvis Jones story has been well documented as his long journey to that of potential top draft pick in 2013 is coming to fruition. In the past two weeks, the Georgia product hasn't done anything to hurt his top-five draft status. The Detriot Lions may not have a chance to select Jones as he might be off the board before their selection. If they do land him, he will have every opportunity to start and make an impact immediately.
Second Round: Sam Montgomery, Outside Linebacker, Louisiana State
With the acquisition of Reggie Bush from the Miami Dolphins, the Detroit Lions can use their second pick on another stud to upgrade their linebacker core. Sam Montgomery, a 6-foot-3' 262-pounder from Louisiana State, can also play on the defensive end and the Lions would be lucky if he fell to them.
Third Round: Shawn Williams, Strong Safety, Georgia
Even with additions in free agency, the Detroit Lions need to upgrade the defensive back positions. Shawn Williams, a strong safety at 5-foot-11 and 213 pounds out of Georgia, is just one step in a big rebuilding process.
Fifth Round: Alvin Bailey, Offensive Guard, Arkansas
The free agency signings in the secondary can allow the Detroit Lions to add to their depleted offensive line core. Alvin Bailey, a 6-foot-3, 212-pound guard from Arkansas, would be a nice addition in keeping quarterback Matthew Stafford on his feet.
Sixth Round: David Bakhtiari, Offensive Guard, Colorado
There is no harm in adding a player that keeps your franchise quarterback Matthew Stafford healthy. That is exactly what David Bakhtiari, a 6-foot-4, 300-pound offensive guard out of Colorado, would be for the Detroit Lions.
Seventh Round: Daimion Stafford, Free Safety, Nebraska
With their last pick, the Detroit Lions will look to add speed to the defensive backfield. Nebraska free safety Daimion Stafford fits that bill, and will look to push the other members of the secondary in training camp.

Charlie Arbelaez Quartet at Croce's Park West
...and other jazz happenings around San Diego September 2-6
Robert Bush 1 p.m., Aug. 30
On Friday, February 27, at 10:15 a.m., on the corner of Diane Avenue and Kings Way in Clairemont, a 52-year-old man and his dog were attacked by two pitbulls while walking past the dogs' fence.
The two dogs bolted through a broken fence slat, targeting a lab mix named Chance. The man attempted to protect himself and his dog but fell to the street twice before the owner arrived to claim her dogs. A witness to the attack called 911, and police, fire, and animal control personnel arrived shortly thereafter. County Animal Control issued a citation and charged the owner for a license when proof of one could not be provided.
No additional enforcement actions will be taken against the dogs' owner unless another similar event occurs. Chance's back paws were bleeding after the attack and his owner declined transport to the hospital by ambulance.

Last Night: Kid Sister and Flosstradamus at LIV
Kid Sister took control over LIV's Wednesday night party Dirty Hairy. Click here to view the full slide show.
Justin Namon
Kid Sister and Flosstradamus
Wednesday, February 26, 2009
LIV at the Fontainebleau, Miami Beach
Better than: Getting your toes done up.
When I got the invite for LIV's newest party, Dirty Hairy, I was sort of skeptical that it was actually going to happen. I mean, the party's whole concept is better suited for downtown. The only problem being, with Studio A closed, the concept doesn't really have a downtown venue big enough to host it. While the party doesn't take itself too seriously, it definitely prides itself in being over the top. And what better way to push the party over the edge than getting Chicago natives Kid Sister and Flosstradamus to perform?
I've actually seen Flosstradamus multiple times, last time being at the Fifth when they opened for Chromeo. The duo prides itself in keeping its end of the bargain by making sure you party hard. They tip-toe the fine line between mildly cheesy and pure genius, mixing perhaps the worst, yet catchy, hip-hop has to offer (think Juvenile's "Back That Ass Up") with the electro-house hits those darn hipster kids can't get enough of.
But as much as I enjoy Flossy, I was there specifically to see Kid
Sister. The 28-year-old has actually stopped in Miami several times,
but it seems like every time she did I was never able to make it. So I
was determined to not miss her performance.
Was I disappointed? No. But it wasn't exactly a performance that floored
me either. But Kid Sister's song repertoire has never really packed a
punch. Records like "Control" and "Pro Nails" are really just about one
thing: Having fun. And you either do or you don't. And I definitely did.
I had previously heard that Kid Sister was not a strong live performer,
but obviously years on the road have done her well -- her vocals were
strong (although, I think a backtrack aided her several times) and she
definitely engaged and bantered with the audience. She performed her
aforementioned hipster-hop hits along with new tracks like "Family
Reunion" and "Get Fresh," which will be included in her much delayed
debut Dream Date.
Critic's Notebook
Personal Bias: Anybody who covers 2 Live Crew's "Hoochie Mama" is good in my book.
Random Detail: LIV's dome ceiling lights up like a Pink Floyd laser light show. In other words, it was awesome!
By the Way: Next week, Diplo and Chromeo's Dave 1 hit the decks at the Wednesday night party.

The critics will note some very familiar faces: Murray McCully, Bill English, Gerry Brownlee, David Carter, Tony Ryall, Georgina te Heuheu and Nelson's Nick Smith, all of them National cabinet ministers nine years ago and back from Wednesday, The Nelson Mail said in an editorial on Wednesday.
The optimists will feel they got the change they demanded in this month's general election, especially with the rapid elevation of solo mother Paula Bennett who has been entrusted with the $20 billion social development and employment portfolio. The cynics see the potential for tension and odd pairings ultimately causing the new government of National and its three disparate support partners - labelled the four-headed taniwha - to disassemble itself in spectacular fashion. The faithful see it as offering a dream-team blend of enthusiasm and experience, breadth and balance, pragmatism and promise.
There is, then, something for everyone in John Key's Cabinet, sworn in on Wednesday so the new prime minister can attend an Apec economic summit in Peru. In particular, it offers something for Labour, which will be as keen to get stuck into the newbies as it is to paint the experienced hands as relics from the not-so-good old days.
Clearly, Mr Key expects to name another cabinet in three years, and may well do some tinkering in the meantime. He has sufficient numbers and talent outside of his 20-strong inner circle to ensure there is no need to suffer non-performers, and he will demand high standards. With the economy in recession and unemployment on the rise, Mr Key and his Cabinet will have to hit the ground running.
There will need to be some rapid learning and relationship-forming if the new ministerial lineup is to function smoothly. Steven Joyce begins life as an MP as a minister, in charge of transport, communications and information technology. New Maori Affairs Minister Pita Sharples will be outside Cabinet, while his associate, Mrs te Heuheu, is part of the inner sanctum. Also outside Cabinet, ACT leader Rodney Hide has been tasked with introducing "regulatory reform", which should see him attempting to slash his way through all sorts of ministerial patches.
Local government can also expect an interesting three years with Mr Hide at the helm. At the least, tough action is likely against councils seeking to increase rates by exorbitant amounts, given ACT's push last term for rates rises to be capped. Mr Hide's appointment will also raise the hopes of single council advocates in this region, assuming his gaze extends beyond Auckland.
There will be keen interest here in Dr Smith's handling of the high-profile environment and climate change portfolios. He remains on the front bench as one of the experienced hands Mr Key is counting on to guide the newcomers, subdue the opposition and, more importantly, chart the nation's response to grim and challenging economic times predicted over the next 12-18 months. As a former conservation minister, the driver of National's "bluegreen" initiative which calls for a cross-party push for clean air and water within one generation, and his party's climate change spokesman, Dr Smith was the logical choice to take on these responsibilities.
Attempting to balance environmental and economic demands in the midst of tough times will be challenging, and Dr Smith can also expect close scrutiny if a signalled reform of ACC does take place under his lead. He takes over the accident compensation portfolio from Labour's Maryan Street, which will increase the tension between the rival candidates for the Nelson electorate, who are set to meet again in 2011.

Love the integration of science and math in this lesson about the five senses.

Love this idea for making a large tongue. To reinforce, I think I'll have my kids add glue and then sprinkle coffee, salt, sugar, and powdered lemonade onto the appropriate areas.
Could put up blank tongue (just have areas drawn out but unlabeled) -- as students complete a taste lab, they could write on the giant model (or attach post-its) to label each region as they think is correct
five senses idea - taste
I like the sense of taste ideas.

1 step down from a commercial machine Savvy Horses from Jericho Center, Vermont on 12/29/2010
I bought this as a present for my husband and we love it. I agree with the comments that the foaming takes practice, but after a couple of tries you get it down. using a mixture of 1/2 & 1/2 and milk seems to produce a nice creamy froth. Taking the handle off to empty it or putting it back on is a little tricky - it fits tightly to the machine and can move the machine when you are removing it. The machine shut off the heating element the third morning we had it, I called the US offices tech support and within 5 minutes it was up and running again, I then received follow up e-mails checking in from the Rancilio to make sure it solved the problem - GREAT company and EXCELLENT customer service.

Nice Espresso Machine mc from Colorado on 10/10/2014 – Verified Buyer
High quality espresso machine. Tamper is plastic, looks cheap but does the job. One little screw fell out and I had to open the machine to put it back again. Inside the machine are high quality components that can be replaced should any of them fail. Happy with the purchase and makes excellent espresso, americanos, and cappuccinos

Buy it! M from Key West on 05/11/2013
The Silvia is a bare-bones barista machine with a brass boiler,and commercial-grade group head. I've had mine for 7 years and it is used every day. With the correct grind it makes excellent espresso. The steamer is the best in its class.
