Assuming no exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares
of Class A common stock, we will receive approximately $463.9 million of net
proceeds from the sale of the Class A common stock offered hereby, after
deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and the structuring fee but
before offering expenses. We will also receive gross proceeds of $65.0 million
from the sale of shares of Class A common stock in connection with the Private
Placements. If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase
additional shares of Class A common stock, the additional net proceeds will be
approximately $69.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and
commissions and a pro rata portion of the structuring fee.
We will use $436.2 million of the net proceeds from this offering and the
Private Placements to acquire newly-issued Class A units of Terra LLC directly
from Terra LLC, and we will use all remaining net proceeds (including any
proceeds received by us upon exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase
additional shares of our Class A common stock) to purchase Class B units (and
Class B common stock) from our Sponsor at a price equal to the price per share
in this offering, less underwriting discounts and commissions and a pro rata
portion of the structuring fee, following which those Class B units (and the
related shares of Class B common stock) will be cancelled and Terra LLC will
issue to us an equal number of Class A units. These Class A units will
collectively represent approximately 22.4% of Terra LLC's outstanding membership
units after this offering (calculated without regard to the IDRs) assuming the
underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional shares, or
approximately 25.4% if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase
additional shares. TerraForm Power will not retain any of the net proceeds from
this offering or the Private Placements and all such net proceeds in excess of
$436.2 million will be paid to our Sponsor, as described above.
The following table illustrates the estimated sources and uses of funds assuming
the Organizational Transactions were completed as of March 31, 2014. Actual
amounts may vary from estimated amounts.

acquisition and related milestone payments of certain projects included in
our initial portfolio from our Sponsor.
(6) Includes fees and expenses related to entering into the Term Loan and
Revolver as well as other expenses related to the Organizational Transactions
and this offering not deducted from the proceeds of this offering when
computing net proceeds.
The Bridge Facility will have outstanding indebtedness of approximately $400.0
million as of the completion of this offering but prior to its repayment.
Indebtedness under the Bridge Facility bears interest at 7.0% and matures on the
earlier of August 28, 2015 and the date all loans under the Bridge Facility
become due and payable in full thereunder, whether by acceleration or otherwise.
The approximately $9.0 million of project-level indebtedness of the U.S.
Projects 2009-2013 to be repaid with a portion of the net proceeds of this
offering bears interest at interest rates between 5.25-7.50% and matures at
various times between 2016 and 2031. The approximately $38.0 million of
project-level indebtedness of the Stonehenge Operating projects to be repaid
with a portion of the net proceeds of this offering bears interest at interest
rates between 3.75-4.51%, and matures in 2028.
Goldman, Sachs & Co. and/or its affiliates acted as arranger of, and is the
administrative agent and one of the lenders under, our Bridge Facility. The
remaining lenders are affiliates of Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup Global
Markets Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Santander Investment Securities Inc.
Because affiliates of Goldman, Sachs & Co., Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup
Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Santander Investment
Securities Inc. will receive more than 5% of the net proceeds of this offering
due to the repayment of amounts outstanding under our Bridge Facility, Goldman,
Sachs & Co., Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan
Securities LLC and Santander Investment Securities Inc. are deemed to have a
conflict of interest under FINRA Rule 5121. Accordingly, this offering is being
made in compliance with the requirements of FINRA Rule 5121.
Our Sponsor will not receive any of the net proceeds or other consideration in
connection with this offering, other than: (i) the net proceeds used by us to
purchase Class B units (and share of Class B common stock) from our Sponsor,
including in the event the underwriters' exercise their option to purchase
additional shares; (ii) the Class B common stock, Class B units of Terra LLC and
the IDRs issued to it in the Offering Transactions; and (iii) any proceeds it
receives from our acquisition of certain projects at the completion of this
offering. The Class B common stock will not entitle our Sponsor to any
economic interest in TerraForm Power and the Class B units will entitle our
Sponsor, subject to certain limitations on distributions to holders of Class B
units during the Subordination Period and the Distribution Forbearance Period,
to a 66.8% economic interest in Terra LLC.
Power generation is a capital-intensive business with numerous industry
participants. We compete to acquire new projects with solar developers who
retain solar power plant ownership, independent power producers, financial
investors and certain utilities. We compete to supply energy to our potential
customers with utilities and other providers of distributed generation. We
believe that we compete favorably with our competitors based on these factors in
the regions we service. We compete with other solar developers, independent
power producers and financial investors based on our lower cost of capital,
development expertise, pipeline, global footprint and brand reputation. To the
extent we re-contract projects upon termination of a PPA or sell electricity
into the merchant power market, we compete with traditional utilities primarily
based on low cost of capital, generation located at customer sites, operations
and management expertise, price (including predictability of price), green
attributes of power, the ease by which customers can switch to electricity
generated by our solar energy systems and our open architecture approach to
working within the industry, which facilitates collaboration and project
We are a dividend growth-oriented company formed to own and operate contracted
clean power generation assets acquired from SunEdison and unaffiliated third
parties. Our business objective is to acquire high-quality contracted cash
flows, primarily from owning solar generation assets serving
utility, commercial
and residential customers. Over time, we intend to acquire other clean power
generation assets, including wind, natural gas, geothermal and
hydro-electricity, as well as hybrid energy solutions that enable us to provide
contracted power on a 24/7 basis. We believe the renewable power generation
segment is growing more rapidly than other power generation segments due in part
to the emergence in various energy markets of "grid parity," which is the point
at which renewable energy sources can generate electricity at a cost equal to or
lower than prevailing electricity prices. We expect retail electricity prices to
continue to rise due to increasing fossil fuel commodity prices, required
investments in generation plants and transmission and distribution
infrastructure and increasing regulatory costs. We believe we are
well-positioned to capitalize on the growth in clean power electricity
generation, both through project originations and transfers from our Sponsor, as
well as through acquisitions from unaffiliated third parties. We will benefit
from the development pipeline, asset management experience and relationships of
our Sponsor, which as of March 31, 2014, had a 3.6 GW pipeline of development
stage solar projects and approximately 1.9 GW of self-developed and third party
developed solar power generation assets under management. Our Sponsor will
provide us with a dedicated management team that has significant experience in
clean power generation. We believe we are well-positioned for substantial growth
due to the high-quality, diversification and scale of our project portfolio, the
long-term power purchase agreements, or "PPAs," we have with creditworthy
counterparties, our dedicated management team and our Sponsor's project
origination and asset management capabilities.
Our initial portfolio will consist of solar projects located in the United
States and its unincorporated territories, Canada, the United Kingdom and Chile
with total nameplate capacity of 807.7 MW. All of these projects have long-term
PPAs with creditworthy counterparties. The PPAs have a weighted average (based
on MW) remaining life of 20 years as of March 31, 2014. We intend to rapidly
expand and diversify our initial project portfolio by acquiring utility-scale
and distributed clean power generation assets located in the United States,
Canada, the United Kingdom and Chile, each of which we expect will also have a
long-term PPA with a creditworthy counterparty. Growth in our project portfolio
will be driven by our relationship with our Sponsor, including access to its
project pipeline, and by our access to unaffiliated third party developers and
owners of clean generation assets in our core markets.
Immediately prior to the completion of this offering, we will enter into a
project support agreement, or the "Support Agreement," with our Sponsor, which
will require our Sponsor to offer us additional qualifying projects from its
development pipeline by the end of 2016 that are projected to generate an
aggregate of at least $175.0 million of cash available for distribution during
the first 12 months following the qualifying projects' respective commercial
operations date, or "Projected FTM CAFD." We refer to these projects as the
"Call Right Projects." Specifically, the Support Agreement requires our Sponsor
to offer us:
• from the completion of this offering through the end of 2015, solar projects
that are projected to generate an aggregate of at least $75.0 million of cash
available for distribution during the first 12 months following their
respective commercial operations date; and
• during calendar year 2016, solar projects that are projected to generate
an aggregate of at least $100.0 million of cash available for distribution
during the first 12 months following their respective commercial
operations date.
If the amount of Projected FTM CAFD of the projects we acquire under the Support
Agreement from the completion of this offering through the end of 2015 is less
than $75.0 million, or the amount of Projected FTM CAFD of the projects we
acquire under the Support Agreement during 2016 is less than $100.0 million, our
Sponsor has agreed that it will continue to offer us sufficient Call Right
Projects until the total aggregate Projected FTM CAFD commitment has been
satisfied. The Call Right Projects that are specifically identified in the
Support Agreement currently have a total nameplate capacity of 1.1 GW. We
believe the currently identified Call Right Projects will be sufficient to
satisfy a majority of the Projected FTM CAFD commitment for 2015 and between 15%
and 40% of the Projected FTM CAFD commitment for 2016 (depending on the amount
of project-level financing we use for such projects). The Support Agreement
provides that our Sponsor is required to update the list of Call Right Projects
with additional qualifying Call Right Projects from its pipeline until we have
acquired projects under the Support Agreement that have the specified minimum
amount of Projected FTM CAFD for each of the periods covered by the Support
In addition, the Support Agreement grants us a right of first offer with respect
to any solar projects (other than Call Right Projects) located in the United
States and its unincorporated territories, Canada, the United Kingdom, Chile and
certain other jurisdictions that our Sponsor decides to sell or otherwise
transfer during the six-year period following the completion of this
offering. We refer to these projects as the "ROFO Projects." The Support
Agreement does not identify the ROFO Projects since our Sponsor will not be
obligated to sell any project that would constitute a ROFO Project. As a result,
we do not know when, if ever, any ROFO Projects or other assets will be offered
to us. In addition, in the event that our Sponsor elects to sell such assets, it
will not be required to accept any offer we make to acquire any ROFO Project
and, following the completion of good faith negotiations with us, our Sponsor
may choose to sell such assets to a third party or not to sell the assets at
We believe that we are well-positioned to capitalize on additional growth
opportunities in the clean energy industry as the demand for renewable energy
among our customer segments is accelerating due to the emergence of grid parity
in certain segments of our target markets, the lack of commodity price risk in
renewable energy generation and strong political and social support. In
addition, growth is driven by the ability to locate renewable energy generating
assets at a customer site, which reduces our customers' transmission and
distribution costs. We believe that we are already capitalizing on the favorable
growth dynamics in the clean energy industry, as illustrated by the following
• Grid Parity. We evaluate grid parity on an individual site or customer
basis, taking into account numerous factors including the customer's
geographical location and solar availability, the terrain or roof
orientation where the system will be located, cost to install, prevailing
electricity rates and any demand or time-of-day use charges. One of our
projects located in Chile provides approximately 100 MW of utility-scale
power under a 20-year PPA with a mining company at a price below the
current wholesale price of electricity in that region. We believe
that additional grid parity opportunities will arise in other markets with
growing energy demand, increasing power prices and favorable solar
• Distributed Generation. We own and operate a 134.8 MW distributed
generation platform with a footprint in the United States, Puerto Rico and
Canada with commercial and residential customers, who currently purchase
electricity from us under long-term PPAs at prices at or below local
retail electricity rates. These distributed generation projects reduce our
customers' transmission and distribution costs because they are located on
the customers' sites. By bypassing the traditional electrical suppliers
and transmission systems, distributed energy systems delink the customers'
electricity price from external factors such as volatile commodity prices
and costs of the incumbent energy supplier. This makes it possible for
distributed energy purchasers to buy electricity at predictable and stable
prices over the duration of a long-term contract.
As our addressable market expands, we expect there will be significant
additional opportunities for us to own clean energy generation assets and
provide contracted, reliable power at competitive prices to the customer
segments we serve, which we believe will sustain and enhance our future growth.
We intend to use a portion of the cash available for distribution, or "CAFD,"
generated by our project portfolio to pay regular quarterly cash dividends to
holders of our Class A common stock. Our initial quarterly dividend will be set
at $0.2257 per share of Class A common stock, or $0.9028 per share on an
annualized basis. We established our initial quarterly dividend level based upon
a targeted payout ratio by Terra LLC of approximately 85% of projected annual
CAFD. Our objective is to pay our Class A common stockholders a consistent and
growing cash dividend that is sustainable on a long-term basis. Based on our
forecast and the related assumptions and our intention to acquire assets with
characteristics similar to those in our initial portfolio, we expect to grow our
CAFD and increase our quarterly cash dividends over time.
We intend to target a 15% compound annual growth rate in CAFD per unit over the
three-year period following the completion of this offering. This target is
based on, and supported by, our Sponsor's $175.0 million aggregate Projected FTM
CAFD commitment to us under the Support Agreement and our track record of
successful project acquisitions from unaffiliated third parties, which will
provide us the opportunity to grow our CAFD following this offering. While we
believe our targeted growth rate is reasonable, it is based on estimates and
assumptions regarding a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control,
including the market value of projects we acquire from third parties, the
purchase price we pay for acquired projects, our cost of capital, the ratio of
debt to equity with respect to the financing of acquisitions, whether we have
the financial resources to acquire the Call Right Projects and the timing of
such acquisitions.
We intend to cause Terra LLC to distribute its CAFD to holders of its units
(including us as the sole holder of the Class A units and our Sponsor as the
sole holder of the Class B units) pro rata, based on the number of units held,
subject to the incentive distribution rights, or "IDRs," held by our Sponsor
that are described below. However, the Class B units held by our Sponsor are
deemed "subordinated" because for a period of time, referred to as the
"Subordination Period," the Class B units will not be entitled to receive any
distributions from Terra LLC until the Class A units and Class B1 units (which
may be issued upon reset of IDR target distribution levels or in connection with
acquisitions from our Sponsor or third-parties) have received quarterly
distributions in an amount equal to $0.2257 per unit, or the "Minimum Quarterly
Distribution," plus any arrearages in the payment of the Minimum Quarterly
Distribution from prior quarters. The practical effect of the subordination of
the Class B units is to increase the likelihood that during the Subordination
Period there will be sufficient CAFD to pay the Minimum Quarterly Distribution
on the Class A units and Class B1 units (if any).
Our Sponsor has further agreed to forego any distributions on its Class B units
with respect to the third and fourth quarters of 2014 (i.e., distributions
declared on or prior to March 31, 2015), and thereafter has agreed to a
reduction of distributions on its Class B units until the expiration of the
Distribution Forbearance Period. The amount of our Sponsor's distribution
reduction between March 31, 2015 and the end of the Distribution Forbearance
Period is based on the percentage of the As Delivered CAFD compared to the
expected CAFD attributable to the Contributed Construction Projects (and
substitute projects contributed by our Sponsor). The practical effect of this
forbearance is to ensure that the Class A units will not be affected by delays
(if any) in completion of the Contributed Construction Projects. All of the
projects in our initial portfolio have already reached their commercial
operations date, or "COD," or are expected to reach COD prior to the end of
2014. The projects expected to reach COD in 2014 are the U.S. Projects 2014,
Regulus Solar, the North Carolina Portfolio, Marsh Hill, SunE Perpetual Lindsay,
Crucis Farm and two of the California Public Institution projects, which in
aggregate represent 200.3 MW. We collectively refer to these projects as the
"Contributed Construction Projects."

Welcome back, and keep the questions coming.
Today, Joe Medina drops a line about the Broncos' offense.
Q: There seems to be a lot of talk among fans and the mainstream media about the Broncos' offense. There's all this talk about how Josh McDaniels ruined the second-ranked offense in the NFL. That hardly stands as a good argument that they were the second-ranked offense in the league. The Broncos were second in yards gained, but points are what matters. And the Broncos were a mediocre team in that category, ranking 16th among 32 teams. Can you talk about that?
A: Joe, you have touched on something that has been grumbled about among coaches for quite some time. The NFL's rankings of offenses and defenses are based on yards gained and yards allowed.

In 2000, the Ravens' defense set a season record, allowing just 165 points in a 16-game season. However, the Titans finished that year as the league's No. 1 defense because they allowed the least yards per game.
The teams met in the playoffs, with the Ravens winning 24-10 in Nashville, Tenn., and after the game there was plenty of talk from the Ravens about which was the "real" No. 1 defense.
So, yes, scoring is how the games get decided. And McDaniels has made no secret he believed the Broncos' struggles in the red zone last year needed to be fixed. At one point, he said, "I don't care about the yards."
Offenses that move the ball well obviously have more opportunities to score, but the ones that make the most of it are the teams that are in the trophy discussion when all is said and done.

Replenishing Dysfunctional Testes with Stem Cells
Men's health and quality of life are largely dependent on fully functional testes. Testes have two main functions: they produce sperm and the male hormone testosterone. Evidence from clinical and population based surveys suggests an increasing incidence of male reproductive problems. About 15% of couples are infertile. Male infertility and low testosterone levels due to abnormal function of the testis are caused either by defects in the germ cells, cells that support maturation of sperm or cells that made testosterone. Stem cell therapy provides new opportunities to replace and replenish damaged and dysfunctional testicular cells. Studies have demonstrated that transplantation of stem cells of testis origin into dysfunctional recipient testes can restore the capability to regenerate sperm and produce more testosterone. Because of the unavailability of stem cells from testes and ethical challenges of genetic paternity for future clinical applications, our proposed studies will use bone marrow stem cells as a more feasible source for replacement of dysfunctional testicular cells. Previous studies including a study from our lab have demonstrated that bone marrow stem cells have potential capabilities to replenish germ cells, supporting cells and testosterone producing cells in dysfunctional testes. In the proposed studies, we will first isolate bone marrow stem cells from donor animals and increase the population of stem cells in culture before transplanting these enriched stem cells into recipient testes of various animal models for male infertility and men with low testosterone levels. In addition, we will test the effect of different testis environments, hormones, growth factors on stem cell plasticity. This study is important because: 1) we can use this model to study the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling stem cell function and plasticity within the microenvironment of the testis. This is crucial to the future use of stem cells in regenerative medicine, sperm production, male aging, and testicular tumor formation; 2) we can explore the potential of novel stem cell therapy for male Infertility and low testosterone. With diminished ethical issue by harvesting the patient's own bone marrow stem cell and transplanting into their own testes for treatment of male testicular failure, we can more easily translate our findings into clinical studies; 3)This method could also be important for re-establishing genetic paternity, with or without assisted fertilization technology, in the setting of patients with cancer (not involving the bone marrow) following chemotherapy; 4) we can develop stem cell therapy to replace the need of life-long testosterone supplementation in testicle failure males and aging population. Thus, our study will have major consequences for the understanding of reproductive biology, pathology and clinical implications for novel future therapies in men with congenital and/or acquired primary testicular failure.
Infertility affects 15% of couples in attempting their first pregnancy and of these 30% is due to male factor infertility. Evidence from clinical and population based surveys suggests an increasing incidence of male reproductive problems. In addition to the mentally and physically suffering in men, testicle failure sometimes contributes to social instability of the family. Our long term goal is to develop regenerative strategies to maintain, improve and rescue testicular functions through the stem cell research. In addition, understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling stem cell function and plasticity is crucial to the future use of stem cells in regenerative medicine, as well as in understanding aging, tumor formation, testosterone secretion and sperm production. Techniques generated from this study will contribute to biotech industrial development in California.

Lady Gaga did it first … but who did it best?
Gaga invented the literal hair bow, sporting the style over and over (and over!) in 2009. After her obsession ended, we thought the unique style did, too — but it was resurrected this weekend by none other than Kelly Clarkson.
The Duets star, currently in London, debuted a hair bow of her own while out on Friday. The singer tied her just-dyed locks up at the back of her head, working the look while wandering the city and during an appearance on the show Loose Women.

Ted Simons: The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled today that young illegal immigrants given deferred deportation status can have drivers licenses in Arizona. Governor Jan Brewer had issued an executive order denying those licenses. But the court ruled that the young undocumented immigrants were harmed by what the court said was Arizona's unequal treatment of those granted federal work permits. Supporters of the courts decision reacted at a press conference this afternoon.
The court was very strong in stating that the harm that has been caused to these folks is irreparable. Is continuing, as we all know, this is not a state where you can do without a car, where you can take care of your family without a car as we again all know. This will lead to that finally reversing that vindictive illegal, ugly decision by the state of Arizona.
Today is a day of triumph for all of us here. It's a day of triumph for Arizona DREAMers all across the state. It's the day that we can finally exhale in relief from an inhale that was taken two years ago when governor brewer banned driver's license to all deferred action recipients. She banned us from the ability to drive, she banned us from the ability to be able to further expand our careers and she banned us from having our identities. To me it was a very personal attack because to many people, a driver's license is something that they take for granted but as we have learned for us, it's a lot more than that. A driver's license would allow us to get from one place to another, to finally be able to get to those jobs that deferred action was able to grant us. It would be a way for us to visit our family members, to finally take a road trip without fear and it would be a way to represent ourselves and our identities. So to me when governor brewer made that announcement on August of 15 of 2012, it was very personal. It hurt me very deeply.
Ted Simons: The governor's office reacted to the court's ruling by calling president Obama's deferred deportation program lawless and said that the ruling is especially disturbing because of the recent influx of young illegal immigrants. The governor said the state will continue to fight for the rule of law. Here now to discuss today's ruling is Laurie Roberts of "The Arizona Republic." You've been following this story a whole bunch of stories but this one, as well. Thank you for being here. Your initial thoughts on a night that wasn't much of a surprise.
Laurie Roberts: Not a surprise at all. You could sort of tell during the arguments that were done a few months ago the tone of the arguments of the three-judge panel that this was the way they were headed. It's very difficult to say that we're going to treat one group of deferred action immigrants one way and another group another and that's essentially what the court found was that it violated the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution.
Ted Simons: Talk about that differentiation there because some people are a little bit confused why these folks were treated differently than other folks with the federal work permits.
Laurie Roberts: I think they were treated differently because the governor was in a snit about the fact that President Obama created this deferred action for childhood arrival program. She calls it lawless and says that Congress is the only group that can enact laws to defer deportation status of groups but there are a variety of classifications of immigrants who are here, who have this deferred status. Some of them are victims of crimes in other countries, some of them may be fleeing domestic violence situations and those people have routinely been able to get driver's licenses in Arizona and so the courts is saying why is this group different from that group? The governor would say this group is different from that group because this group got that deferred status as a result of laws passed by Congress whereas the kids got the deferred status because of a lawless directive of President Obama.
Ted Simons: And that -- didn't the state do something last year to expand the ban on the driver's licenses?
Laurie Roberts: They did. After she enacted the ban, people came forward and pointed out well there are other groups who have these employment authorization documents who were able to get the licenses so her response was not to say I guess it's okay, her response was to say well no longer should those people get them, either. But that really didn't wash with the courts. They found that it was a case of basically spite. I believe the word they used was animus.
Ted Simons: I was going to ask you about that. It's interesting to see the court say, first of all, the unequal treatment, they emphasized that but that the governor's actions showed animus to these kids.
Laurie Roberts: It's strong language.
Ted Simons: It seems like it is.
Laurie Roberts: The governor will point out that all three of the judges on this panel were appointed by democratic presidents but it is interesting that one of the three has the distinction of having been appointed both by Barack Obama to this court and Alaska governor Sarah Palin for the Alaska Supreme Court.
Ted Simons: Interesting. Aclu also called it vindictive policy by the governor and the governor's response was that this was outrageous and these sorts of things. Why is she taking such a hard stance on this?
Laurie Roberts: I think she fashions herself the governor who's going to tell this president what to do and it plays to the base and it's an election year. You add up the central American children who are here and now this and a couple of other things going on, and immigration, immigration is firing up the base again. I'm hearing from all the people I heard from in 2010 and the rhetoric is revving up and I guess it's good for Republican politics.
Ted Simons: I was going to ask you about that because her response, a lot of it was political in nature, mentioning that the three judges were appointed by democratic presidents, mentioning the Obama policy as being lawless and all these sorts of things. There was a lot of name dropping and name calling in there which seemed a little again pretty harsh for a governor statement.
Laurie Roberts: I would think it's harsh for this governor. She's been harsh all along on President Obama's treatment of illegal immigrants and the perceived lack of border enforcement. I think it's right in line. And the interesting thing is what nobody's talking about is let's just take care of this problem. Most people in this country would say that this particular group of immigrants who are here illegally, the childhood arrivals, are the most sympathetic group of all and that ultimately we are going to have to incorporate them into this the only country that they've ever known. Why don't we just get on with it and fix the problem?
Ted Simons: Do most people in Arizona feel that way?
Laurie Roberts: I have seen polls that stated we do. We are only one of two states that I know of that deny driver's licenses to this group. At least 45 do. Only our state and the state of Nebraska do not and now, of course, as of today, we grant them, as well.
Ted Simons: How far is the state going to go on this? Fighting this tooth and nail?
Laurie Roberts: They have to. They've put the money and the time into it at this point. Remember this is just a preliminary injunction. You've got to go back and fight the merits of the case at the federal court level, at the district court level so this will be going on for a while. It would be far easier if we just took care of the problem and solved it.
Ted Simons: Some of these, it's supposed to be a two-year deferment here. Some of those kids are going to be past the deferment.
Laurie Roberts: It's renewable.
Ted Simons: Okay.
Laurie Roberts: Those things are renewable. It was started in August of 2012, the first group of renewals are coming up now. We have 20,000 young Arizonans that this applies to.
Ted Simons: So basically, we watched what happens as far as the state is concerned going after this particular ruling. And it will never end will it?
Laurie Roberts: No, it won't because it's good politics.
Ted Simons: All right, it's always a pleasure.

I'm asking this question as software (and also because there have been a few DNSSEC questions on here in the past).
I saw this on Wikipedia and wondered if someone could explain it for me:
"As stated above, source port randomization for DNS requests, combined with the use of cryptographically-secure random numbers for selecting both the source port and the 16-bit cryptographic nonce, can greatly reduce the probability of successful DNS race attacks"
I don't understand how port randomization would prevent DNS poisoning attacks on the client side? Or is this only referring to the DNS server? Could the same port randomization be used on the client side?

What can I put in the tank with my blue gourami?
I have a 10 gallon tank with a male blue gourami. After I purchased the tank, I bought the gourami and a red wag platy. The platy died due to wrong temperature so my gourami has been alone in the tank for 2 months. I recently purchased a dalmatian molly and an albino cory catfish. My gourami immediately chased the molly all around and it sought refuge behind the filter. Then it started to bother the catfish. It never left them alone. It even nipped the Molly's tail fin and took a chunk out. I had to move them out of the tank into another one. What would be a good fish to put with my gourami. I know not another male and I don't really want a female either as I would have to keep taking her out after they bred. Suggestions anyone?
Try clicking the shaded name of the gourami in your post. that'll take you to a great profile that'll no doubt list fish you could keep successfully with the Blue Gourami
also, take a look at the tank size requirements for blue gourami. not sure 10 gallons is sufficient space.
Posted via Mobile Device
I have found the dwarf male gouramis can become aggressive towards other fish. I would suggest some schooling fish to go with it. I have a power blue dwarf gourami in a 10 gallon tank and I have 11 tetras in the tank with it and have found that they get along well. My gourami will still chase them if they are off by themselves but leaves them alone when they are in the school. The good thing about tetras are there are a lot of different varieties(I have 3 different varieties myself) and they are cheep.
A blue gourami could be one of a couple species of fish - a dwarf gourami and a 3 spot gourami. Both come in a blue color morph. The dwarf gourami could be kept in a 10 gallon tank, though it's really a bit small. However, a 3 spot gourami is not appropriate for a 10 gallon.
Do you know which species you have?

Showing faster with the second pregnancy?
I am 5 weeks prgnant and I am showing so much faster than I did if my first one. I know you that you usually show faster with the second one but I didn't think it was this fast. I have already grown into a new bra size and my pants are snug. Could I be further along?

im 7 weeks pregnant with my second child. Im a runner and am in pretty good shape and i have noticed the belly bulge.... Pretty sure its just bloating from the uterus getting bigger, extra fluids and all..... But pretty shocking that im noticing sooner than with the first.posted 03/21/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
I am at 6 weels pregnant with my second , my first is 4 and today i really feel pregnant. I looked in the mirror and noticed to what myself apprared ""showing"" my clothes are snuger and my boyfriend thinks im crazy .. We hasn't told anyone yet so to me its a lil rmbarrasing because people probably think I've just gained weight... Do you really tend to show earlier with your second pregnancy?posted 03/14/2013 by jessicatuten
I am about 6 weeks have a doctor apt in 9 days to confirm how far along I am. I cannot believe how much I'm already showing & how exhausted I already am... with my son 5 years ago I don't show for months & had energy until 3d trimester. Happy I'm not alone!!!,posted 03/10/2013 by mommyblackstock
WOW, I feel so much better knowing that I am not the only one and that this is pretty normal. I am just over 5 weeks with my second (my first will be 11 this year) so I really forgot much of what to expect. I do remember wearing my regular well in to late pregnancy with my first one though...not this time, I think I will need to buy the belly band sooner than later because my pants are already getting to snug around the waist. Best of luck to everyone!!posted 03/06/2013 by wematch88
I am 5 weeks and 2 days today with my second. And I'm definitley bigger this time around. I started wearing my belly band today, I was definitely not comfortable without it... All of my pants are too tight, I will have to get maternity clothes soon. Same with my boobs I'll have to get new bras soon.. I feel so much better that I was able to ready others postsposted 02/18/2013 by NicoleMarie1
omg i found out im pregnant with my 2nd and was wondering about the showing quicker thing...glad i know what to expect with the 2nd one...im only 4 weeks and just feel bloated..but i still have a lil baby fat from my first...my first is only 7 months old... NUVA RING FAILED..DONT TAKE ANTIBIOTICS UNLESS U KNOW IT WONT AFFECT UR BIRTHCONTROL EFFECTIVENESS... :)posted 02/24/2013 by babylover2011
This is so very helpful. This is my second pregnancy and I am nine weeks, and showing a little. Nothing fits! With my first pregnancy, I didn't need maternity clothes until six months. Happy that this is the norm and I have nothing to worry about.posted 08/10/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm in the same boat! 6-7 weeks and I have a bulge that is more noticeable by the day! So glad to read all this too :-)posted 12/07/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I am 8 weeks pregnant, and I'm noticing the changes to my body much faster this time. My pants are already snug. I didn't really start showing until about 5 months last time, so this time around is very different.posted 11/13/2012 by CeliaAnn1
I am 6 wks pg and my pants have begun to fit a little tight around my stomach. I was wondering how I could gain weight when I am hardly eating!? I have a 6 yr old and I do not remember feeling this way with him. I am glad I found this website. It is good to know there is someone else that can relate to what I am going through. My friend told me I should go ahead and purchase maternity clothes I just might have to do that.posted 10/31/2012 by nholland1028

The Return of Skeleton Man
The Return of Skeleton Man
HarperCollins, Hardcover, 9780060580902, 144pp.
Publication Date: August 1, 2006
It's not over, that voice says. Some dreams, rabbit, are like this one I just sent you. They are messages and warnings.
And even though it sends a shiver down my spine, I understand what this message, this warning, means.
Skeleton Man will return.
Molly thought she'd put her traumatic past behind her when she escaped from Skeleton Man last year. She rescued her parents and tried to get her life back to the way it used to be. She thought her family would live happily ever after and just be normal again. She thought wrong.
Skeleton Man is back for revenge—but this time Molly is ready.
In this long-awaited sequel to the award-winning Skeleton Man, Joseph Bruchac revisits his most terrifying villain yet.
Joseph Bruchac is the author of Skeleton Man, The Return of Skeleton Man, Bearwalker, The Dark Pond, and Whisper in the Dark, as well as numerous other critically acclaimed novels, poems, and stories, many drawing on his Abenaki heritage. Mr. Bruchac and his wife, Carol, live in upstate New York, in the same house where he was raised by his grandparents.
"Engaging and fast–paced sequel to a modern horror classic."
-School Library Journal
"Middle school students will enjoy the mystery and suspense as well as the ghostly legends. Molly is a plucky heroine who is not about to give in to her fears, even when they are well-founded.

This column was originally published on RealMoney on Nov. 3 at 11:57 a.m. EST. It's being republished as a bonus for TheStreet.com readers.With the midterm elections just three trading days away, I think hedge funds and money managers have for the most part already positioned themselves for post-election trading.
Let's look at some readers' picks. A reader asks whether Mid-Cap SPDRs (MDY) have formed a failed cup-and-handle pattern over the last couple of days. That's not how I see this playing out.

Very warm, lightweight, thin, stretchy and clings to the body. Very comfortable. Much warmer than REI and Cabelas MTP lightweight baselayers. The cabelas is much looser so I can wear it over this one (both small size).Terry of Price, UT - January, 24 2012:
Just what I was looking for. Works well to wick moisture from you as you sweat. I was used to getting cold when resting after any hiking in the cold climates of Utah. Not anymore. I should have been using this stuff years ago.

Make Time For A Leadership Check-In
To facilitate excellent performance, a regular progress check-in is critical to ensuring one's success and the success of one's team. Yet leaders rarely know how they are doing beyond the daily rise and fall of stock prices. Leadership check-in tools are seldom used, and as a result, most leaders lack an objective measure of their own performance. Kim Cameron, co-founder of the Center for Positive Organizational Scholarship (POS) at the Ross School of Business contends that a leader should perform a self check-in at least once a year.

I can't believe I am dictating my last "online letter" to you all as a Wabash freshman. Exactly one year ago I had just made the decision to attend Wabash! Two months later, after submitting my $250 deposit check, I received a shirt in the mail with the words, "Seriously Competitive." These are the words that signify the atmosphere at Wabash.
The shirt reminds me of my interview with incoming President Gregory Hess, who described the mantra by saying, "I know the marketing materials push the 'serious' point, and I get that. I think it actually makes some sense that Wabash is a place that takes its role seriously. And I actually think it works pretty superbly."
As I prepare for what will be a busy finals week, I wanted to look back on my year and give any incoming student advice from my personal experience.
What has been my most treasured experience is first semester tutorial with Professor Himsel in Baxter 101. There I made friendships with classmates and "brothers" that will truly endure. Discussion on "Founding Fathers and Revolutionary Characters" made me think analytically about what our founders truly left posterity in terms of example and national identity. I was pushed, prodded, questioned, and in the end, validated by my tutorial. In the same manner I encourage you to take that first step by making sure you get the tutorial you want to define your college years.
I heard these words repeatedly and I took them to heart. I learned so much about writing articles through "The Bachelor" and "The Phoenix," became educated on the inner works of the student body as a class representative and member of the MXI, got knee deep in athletics through soccer and track, enjoyed my "nerdier" side through Dork Club, continued my commitment to helping others through Best Buddies, "Gear Up" mentorship program, and Alpha Phi Omega, as well as became a part of activities to stretch my mind and public speaking through Parliamentary Union and Moot Court. By all means do not put a limit on what you can do, then by the time you are finished with freshman year, you will have a perfect idea of exactly what you want to do!
Very much linked with getting involved, making friends forced me to balance my extra-curricular activities with meeting people and making lasting friendships. For me that has been extremely evident by my Martindale buddies, who have been a great source of friendship and amiability; from my friends within my alcove (Cole and Cameron) to next door, (Korbin, Tom, and Daniel) to down the hallway (Jordan and Carl). Friends also include those I have made through sports; you can't imagine what running with someone for a half a year does for bonding! College life for me would be little if anything without the friends I have been blessed to make along the way.
So choose your tutorial wisely, get involved, make friends, but most importantly, get your sleep! The last aspect is the most important of all these three things, the key to happiness starts with a good night of sleep!
Thank you so much for reading this blog, and following me throughout the year. I hope it has been as helpful and informative for you as it has been for me. So let's make it through finals week, enjoy your summer, and let's do it all again next year!

My son and I have been playing Neko Atsume (because cats) and the other night he asked me what a temari ball is, since it's one of the items in the game. We looked them up on Google and found out it's a 1,000-year-old Chinese/Japanese folk art. I also found several really great tutorials on how to do it. Long story short, Jay and I went to Joann to get supplies and here is my first temari ball. The boy says now I need to make one that looks like the toy in the game.
tl;dr I made a temari ball.

A friend and I just had a short discussion about this the other day, where I said I wasn't sure what "generation" I fell into. I was born in 1981. THIS is my generation. There's no real "name" for us. We got the best of both the Gen-Xers and the Millenials. We remember both cassettes and MP3 players.
We are the Oregon Trail Generation.

Forgive the Facebook link on G+, but it's too good to not share.
For anyone who's heard of or read Huffington Post's review of "The Force Awakens", this is exactly how I felt about it. This guy gets it. The Huff Po writer (who apparently is an English professor and graduated from HARVARD??!) did NOT get it and couldn't possibly have paid attention to the movie AT ALL.

Skip to comments.Harry Reid: The time has come for us to outlaw prostitution
Posted on 02/23/2011 9:26:01 AM PST by rellimpank
(CARSON CITY Sen. Harry Reid on Tuesday called for an adult conversation about prostitution in Nevada, saying it is an impediment to economic development because it discourages businesses from moving here.
Nevada needs to be known as the first place for innovation and investment not as the last place where prostitution is still legal, he said in a speech to the Nevada Legislature.
Reid told the assembled lawmakers that he met recently with a group of business leaders who run data centers for technology companies. They visited Storey County in search of a new location for their businesses but one of the businessmen in that meeting told me he simply couldnt believe that one of the biggest businesses in the county he was considering for his new home has legal prostitution
(Excerpt) Read more at lasvegassun.com ...
The time has come to outlaw Harry Reid.
Why? Does Harry hate competition?
I hate to see Harry turn on his friend Nancy like this...jus' sayin'
Start with the Senate, Harry.
Is Harry Reid retiring?
If we did what Harry wanted, he would automatically be outlawed himself.
I'd suggest the Nevada legislature do just the opposite.
Instead of killing jobs, make it legal in more counties.
I guess the Prostitution Lobby didn't come up with enough cash for his re-election last tme.
Does this mean that that old Democrat pimp, Dingy Harry, is getting out of politics?
Let's outlaw Career Criminals in Congress starting with Harry Reid.
Most execs will primarily care about quality of local labor force and expected expenses.
Starting with himself/lol
So, he wants to get rid of all the democrats in Washington.....
Ding Ding Ding! we have a winner
Harry Reid won in 2010 and it wasn't even close. :)
I think it's a local decision by the county as to whether to allow prostitution.
Does this mean harry is announcing his retirement?
Sounds like Harry might be cutting his own throat here.
Harry Reid, if you don't like prostitution, nobody is forcing you to stay in Nevada
I bet he wishes polygamy was legal.
Hey Harry, can we start with Congress?
Relax Harry, it's the good kind of prostitute, the competition isn't there Dingy.
He really wants to kill off one of the last things keeping Nevada somewhat afloat...
Of course he wants to impose federal law in a state issue....
Aw, jeez - if we outlaw prostitution, we'll have to send all our congressmen and senators to prison.
Takes one to know one, I guess...
Colonel, USAFR
Well if they ever do that then he will be out of work.
Well if they ever do that then he will be out of work.
Hmm something else the feds want to regulate or they will cut off "highway" funding or some other federal grant / tax payer dollar,they have stolen or simply printed.
Harry,we do not need your wisdom as a nanny!
Hell we used to be free.
"Why? Does Harry hate competition"
Nah, just too weird to get it up anymore, so why have it?
Harry Reid—Because POLITICANS should be the only "legal" whores.
So, Sen. Reid, you're wanting to outlaw DemocRATS and RINOs at the national level?
No prostitute would agree to have sex with Harry no matter how much money he offered.
Even hookers have their standards.
Well, I guess that would put Dingy outa bidness.
If only we had the right candidate against him in 2010 this idiot would be gone. What is amazing is the Dem. Senate keeps him as Majority Leader. Every time he opens his mouth he puts his foot in it. I would think they would want him off the stage. Oh well, he will be after 2012 election and at that time Chucky Schumer can be MINORITY Leader.
Why would a whore want to outlaw whores?
Reid lives in typical leftist la-la land when it comes to business.
Where does he think vice laws rank in the list of considerations businessmen make in choosing a locale for their operations?
Now I'm just an academician with not business experience at all, but I'm willing to bet the top six (the exact ranking depending on the type of business) are availability of a suitable workforce, availability of necessary infrastructure (transport, etc.), proximity of sources of necessary resourses, proximity to markets (drop that one if the product is cheap to ship or a service distributed over the internet), local and state tax policies, and local and state labor policies.
I'll also bet that there are at least a dozen other things an entrepreneur would weigh before even thinking, "maybe I don't want to open up shop in that state because some counties have legalized prostitution."
I'll say it again.....COWARDS hide under non-issues.
I see Dingy Harry wants to legislate himself out of existence.
Too bad they don't have a union...
What the ARE going to try to do is to TAX prostitution and/or regulate it to extract their "piece of the pie" from them workin' gals......
