A Critical Assessment of Electricity and Natural Gas Deregulation
Trebing, Harry M., Journal of Economic Issues
Electric and natural gas utilities are an integral part of a nation's infrastructure. When performing properly they constitute a platform that provides a necessary service for all sectors of society, thereby assuring conditions for economic growth and an improved quality of life. As society advances, dependence upon these energy utilities will become even more important.
Traditionally, most electric and gas utilities have been privately owned but regulated by government in the United States and Canada, while service has been provided by publicly owned monopolies in Europe. Institutional economists contributed significantly to the creation of the regulatory framework in the United States. In fact, economic regulation of public utilities was a centerpiece of John R. Commons' approach to Institutional economics.
A series of recurrent crises beset the public utilities in the years following 1969. There were fly-ups in the cost of power generation, retail rates increased faster than the Consumer Price Index, shortages appeared in interstate natural gas markets, and the regulatory response to inflation was strongly criticized. As a consequence, militant consumer advocates believed regulation provided little or no protection, large industrial buyers anticipated considerable savings by exercising their oligopsonistic buying power through departures from regulated rates, and utility executives saw great potential profits in deregulated markets. These groups argued strenuously for the substitution of pluralistic supply options for regulated monopolies. Mainstream neoclassical economists were employed to considerable advantage to make the case for substituting free markets for commission regulation. These economists ignored the possibility of reforming regulation, which would have been consistent with the Institutionalist approach, (1) and instead called for a major shift to free markets that would allegedly produce lower consumer prices, greater choice, and a more dynamic infrastructure. The few monopoly focal points such as transmission networks could be neutralized by requiring open access while subsequent free entry, contestable markets, and technological advance would aggressively wipe out the market power of incumbent utilities.
The campaign for free markets was remarkably successful at both federal and state levels in the United States. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) became the champion of market-based wholesale electricity and gas rates while 21 state legislatures enacted some form of deregulation for electricity and natural gas. In Europe, privatization was undertaken to promote efficiency and innovation through increased reliance on market forces. Privatization was also assumed to be a strong force for attracting private capital into these industries. In both the United States and Europe, so much faith was placed in market forces that it was not surprising that public policy makers failed to appreciate the need to consider other options if deregulation and privatization programs failed to achieve the promised goals of lower prices, greater choice, and more innovation.
The 2000 Crisis
Beginning in 2000, a series of traumatic shocks dealt a major blow to public confidence in electricity and natural gas deregulation. These shocks took three forms. First, there was the exposure of fraudulent behavior by corporate executives in the utility field that culminated in prison sentences and the two largest bankruptcies in U.S. history. (2) Second, there was a dramatic fly-up in electricity prices in the first states that deregulated. The effects were particularly devastating in California, where the average price went from $30 per megawatt hour to $1400 per megawatt hour on December 14, 2002. There was also growing evidence in California and other deregulated states that power traders and deregulated generators were withholding low cost power during peak periods, and manipulating the bidding process to drive prices up. …

A collection of very simple but occasionally useful functions, primarily intended for use with (and as) callbacks and in unit tests.
Author: Raphael Pigulla email@example.com
Version: 0.1.5
A collection of very simple but occasionally useful functions, primarily intended for use with (and as) callbacks and in unit tests..
Runs in both Node.js and the browser. Available on npm, Jam and Bower. Implements the UMD pattern for compatibility with both native browsers environments and AMD loaders such as requirejs.
Simply do one of the following:
npm install fktjam install fktbower install fkt
or just download directly from GitHub.
Wraps a function to receive only its first argument.
Can be used to discard unneeded arguments for callbacks, especially when using libraries like async.
// Simplify this: asyncwaterfall loadFooBarAndBaz // if we pass cb in directly, the next function in the chain would // be called with three unused arguments which we want to avoid cberr; ; // ... ; // to this: asyncwaterfall loadFooBarAndBazfktbarecb; // ... ;
fn. (optional)
Creates a callback version of the given synchronous function.
fn throws an exception, the callback receives it as its first argument. Otherwise, it is invoked with the
return value of
asyncwaterfall fsreadFile'a.json' cb; fktcallbackifyJSONparse // error is set if fs.readFile failed or JSON.parse threw an exception ;
Wraps a function so that it never throws an exception. Don't use this in production code!
The return value of the wrapped function is the return value of the original function. If an exception was
thrown, a reference to
fkt.undefined is returned (note that this is not the same as the value
var result = fktcatchsomeFunction;if result === fktundefined // some exception was thrown else // it's all good
fn. (optional)
Creates a function that always returns the specified value.
A function that always returns
// useful in Backbone.Views when you need to stop event propagation: events: 'click ul.items li': fktfalse
The identity function that always returns its first argument.
Can be used to easily remove falsy values from an array:
0 1 2 false {}filterfktidentity;// returns [1, 2, {}]
Wraps a callback to only be invoked with its first
n arguments.
var narrowed = fktnarrow2 consoledirarguments;;narrowed1 2 3 4; // outputs [1, 2]
fn. (optional)
A function that wraps the given function and always returns the negated value of it.
One purpose for this is using
Array.filter with a function that happens to return
false for values you want
to keep (see the example).
// instead of this var myArray = someArrayfilter return !userFunctionel;;// we can do var myArray = someArrayfilterfktnegateuserFunction;
fn. (optional)
A function that does nothing and returns nothing.
Can be used as a default value for callbacks. Saves you a few bytes of memory by not having to create a new anonymous function every time.
// explicitly specify a "do nothing" function (which creates a new function every time) var callback = configcb || {};// alternatively, only invoke the callback if defined (fairly verbose) if callback callbacksomeValue; // instead, do this var callback = configcb || fktnoop;// or if it makes you feel fuzzy even callback || fktnoopsomeValue;
Wraps a callback to always be invoked with
null as its first argument (i.e., it will never fail).
Can be used to "swallow" errors if you know that it is safe to ignore them, which may be helpful when using libraries like async (e.g., async.map() will immediately abort when it encounters the first error which may not be what you want).
// assuming file2 doesn't exist asyncmap'file1' 'file2' 'file3' fktsafefsreadFile // error is guaranteed to be null // result is [<buffer>, undefined, <buffer>] ;
fn. (optional)
A function that always returns
return carsfilterfilterFn || fkttrue; getCars; // get all cars getCars return carcolor === 'red'; ; // get red cars only
A function that always returns
This is an alias for
fkt.noop(). You can use whichever makes more sense semantically (i.e., makes your code
more readable).

Reviews (7)
awsome work and very fast
by User37457 on
We have been sending a few jobs there way and they are fast and efficient I am very please with their customer service and their work not complaints which is good for me!!!
Great Guys
by User182702 on
They have been to my home numerous periods to repair sprinkler heads and valves. Currently I had an "emergency" - a valve that was allowing water to get to sprinkler head and wouldn't turn off. There were no master valves going to this valve either. So I was wasting a lot of water and needed help ASAP. Mid-morning I got a call with the news that a technician job was completed early and he could get to my place right away. He came, he fixed, and by the time I got home this problem was over.
by User181840 on
Dr. Sprinkler Repair has helped us two times in the last year; each time they exceeded our expectations. Our sprinkler system had many problems which required some troubleshooting and some repairs beyond our time and ability. The guys had the system assessed and repaired in a few hours, and did a great job. Our second repair was last summer. The technician looked at our issue and provided an estimate for our problem. They went above our expectations by framing a brief barrier to dirt around the new pipe AND upon operational check of the system, repaired a broken valve to a sprinkler head along the hedge. I also liked that they offered to come return to turn the water back on after the pvc cement dried if I needed him to; my husband was gone for the day.
Dr. Sprinkler Repair offer great customer service,
by User180885 on
Dr. Sprinkler Repair offer great customer service, workmanship, and reliability. It was a Saturday morning and our tenants reported that two sprinklers popped off and water was everywhere, even spilling into our neighbor's lawn. Out of three companies, Dr. Sprinkler Repair answered the phone. It turned out the water pressure was high and that was the underlying cause for sprinklers popping off. Jim is a great guy, and really loves what he does! His prices were very reasonable, especially for the amount of work he did to resolve our sprinkler issues. In addition to the quality work, he had a quick turnaround time for completing the job. Offered solutions to several problems, will call again in several weeks for new clock
by User128344 on
We initially discussed a estimated $500 for the job and they would be able to finish it that day. Due to some complications including them running out of gas and having to have their van towed. I spoke to him in the evening and he said he was wrapping up only to find out 14 days latter then he had billed me for 11 additional hours there were never discussed or approved. He also bought parts that were never discussed or approved. In total I got a bill for over $1,500. Stay as far away from them as possible as they have deceptive business practices.

This page details how the Canon 5D Mark III (and 5D Mark II) images were processed from RAW into 16-bit TIF for evaluation.
RAW conversion
Adobe Camera RAW (version 6.7 (319) beta in Photoshop CS5 prior to July 2012, then version 7 in CS6).
Color balance
Typically, images are processed with a white balance at 5000°K with Tint=8 to Tint=18 (there tends to be a green cast), with a modification to color temperature in a few cases to suit lighting variations ("season to taste"). Sometimes the 5DM3 seems to produce a strongly green-tinted image, so that a tint including some magenta was used.

I think I know what the problem is but I don't know anything about cars. Lately my 4Runner has been idling at about 300-500 RPM stopped in drive, putting it in neutral or park doesn't bring it up but maybe 100 RPM, even stalled out at a red light. Any clue what may be wrong????

Play is a very undervalued concept in modern culture. It is something most people leave behind as they "grow up" into responsible adults. Yet, who amongst us isn't touched watching children in their innocent silliness exploring their world through the portal of play: making up stories, searching for lost treasures, rolling around on the floor with each other just for the pure joy in the experience, laughing uncontrollably and with full abandon at any little thing that strikes their fancy? "Child's play" is too often used as a derogatory, immature statement towards actions that are considered insignificant wastes of time.
Play deprivation is creating physical, emotional, mental burnout, and stress-related health problems that are widespread worldwide. However, research with children and adults alike consistently reveals that there is tremendous value to playing that can improve the quality of life for adults as well as children! Musicians and improvisational artists of all genres understand this value and experience the benefits first hand. Creative play is perhaps one of the most important, valuable things you can do to generate more health, happiness and a better quality of life. Infusing play into the workday can keep you emotionally balanced and can reduce stress, both of which can contribute to living healthier and longer.
Just a few of the beneifts of play include (but are not limited to)
1. Play can inspire you to think differently
Play allows you to explore different possibilities and open new pathways. Play has created some of our most important and brilliant creations. It gives a safe space for experimentation and expansion beyond our normal routine ways of doing things.
2. Playing brings more joy into your life
Play creates laughter, joy, and a feeling of inner peace. It is almost impossible to stay stuck, angry, or frustrated when you are giving yourself permission to be free, silly and fully expressed. Let it out thru play, make silly sounds, dance for no reason, and see if you don't find yourself smiling!
3. Play reduces stress
"Studies show that as humans, play is hardwired into our genetic code. With regular play, our problem-solving and adaptive abilities will be in much better shape to handle this complex world, and we are much more likely to choose healthy answers to challenging situations as they arise."
4. Playing on a regular basis can increase longevity of life.
Being play-deprived is similar to being sleep-deprived. Our genetic code demands that we play, just as it demands that we sleep, and when we resist this primal urge, our physical, emotional and mental energies are deeply depleted. Play improves immune response, increases joy, and has a positive impact on the human system all the way through!
5. Play can stimulate the imagination, curiosity, and creativity
Research shows that play is a hands-on, minds-on learning process. It produces a deeper, more meaningful understanding of the world and its possibilities. Play in corporate environments has been shown to increase productivity and enhance creative process and product development!
6. Play can greatly enhance your energy levels
Playing safely gives your body back the energy it needs through laughter. Doing things that bring you joy and being with other people who are having fun enables you to keep your energy levels up longer and sustain more vitality.
7. Play can provide you with an opportunity to take risks
Play lets us experiment, explore and take risks with ideas without fearing the consequences that might happen in "real life." Play also helps us learn our way, develop curiosity, learn to think, make new choices, discover special talents, build social relationships, make things less scary, and experience new enthusiasm for life.
8. Play maintains & builds healthier relationships
A playful youthful spirit makes you a more attractive person! The more enjoyable you are to be around, the more you will spread that to others who will be attracted to your health perspective on life and the healthier your relationships will become!
Music making, dance, and expressive arts are forms of play that you can easily maintain your whole life. Bringing people together to play in this way builds community, creates a healthier individual and a healthier community! Find time and cultivate your relationship to play in a myriad of ways and you will be adding years to your life in these precious moments.

"Two wonderful summers" Oak Bluffs by etfromnc
Oak Bluffs Travel Guide: 13 reviews and 14 photos
Initially part of Edgartown, Oak Bluffs was once known as the Cottage City of America. Soon church folk from all over the country gathered here for the Martha's Vineyard Camp Meeting. They came to preach, pray, reflect and repent in a spirit of religious fervor. As stores, hotels and larger homes sprang up around Cottage City, it developed into a seaside resort. Oak Bluffs is a relatively young town, by Island standards, and since its economy had more to do with recreation than with the time-honored whaling or shipping trades of Edgartown and Vineyard Haven, it evolved with a much more frivolous, light-hearted air. Instead of serviceable, weather-hardy salt-boxes or dignified captains' houses, Oak Bluffs filled with frilly, even gaudy, multicolored gingerbread cottages, unwinterized "wooden tents" erected to replace the earlier Methodists' canvas ones. Oak Bluffs businesses also leaned toward pure entertainment; there were theaters, a giant roller skating rink, hotels, and a carousel (still in operation).
In many ways, I have always been and still am "a country boy." Born in Mt Airy, NC and raised in a very protected environment, I had never been north of Southern Virginia, east of our Atlantic coast, south of Central Florida, nor west of Knoxville, TN when I went away to college. That was in North Carolina as well and only 135 miles from my home but I thought that I was about to become "King of the World" because it was such a prestigious university and there was no way that any of my family would have ever thought that I could go there. My parents even discouraged me from applying for admission. I applied, was admitted, got an amazingly generous financial arrangement, and spent four of the most wonderful years of my life beginning to grow up. (You city folks would probably say, "mature.") The couple who helped my father get into business after he finished trade school were literally the first "Yankees" that I ever met but there were a lot of them at my school and, although they talked funny, they were a big part of my maturation process. Through my experiences with my Yankee-classmates and fellow runners, I decided that I really needed to see the North. About this time the "Beach Blanket Bingo" genre (That's one of those Yankee words that I learned.) of movies was in its heyday, so I decided that I needed to "work" at least one summer at one of those "happening" resorts. I requested info from the state tourism offices in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Maine. After a cursory review of the brochures which I received, I sent letters to a few hotels asking about their summer hiring plans. All but one of the responses which I received were pretty much form letters. The only personalized letter which I received was a partially handwritten one from the owner of the Wesley House on Martha's Vineyard Island. He began by telling me that he was very reluctant to hire Southern guys because he had found that all they wanted to do was party and that he had been forced to send more home during the summer than had been able to complete their full summer term. I almost did not even apply but for some unknown reason (perhaps I just wanted to prove to him that he was wrong about Southern men) I did submit a letter of application in which I gave him specific dates that I would be available, pointing out that I would not be able to stay for the entire summer because I had to attend ROTC summer camp. Almost as an afterthought, I mentioned that I had been in Demolay. It seemed that by return mail, I received an offer of a job at a pay rate higher than I had anticipated and a reminder that I would not be eligible for the bonus which people who worked all summer received. I took the job and the most exciting, enjoyable summer of my life (to that point) followed. When I left for summer camp, the owner took me aside, gave me an envelope (which turned out to contain $250), and told me that if I wanted to come back for any future summers, I would always be welcome. At the end of the summer, I went to spend a few days with my summer love from Martha's Vineyard ... to be continued ...

Top 10: Traits Of A Great Girlfriend
Number 5
She lets you be a man
Do not — I repeat — do not get involved with a woman who tries to get you to eat cottage cheese and fruit for breakfast and insists that you give up poker night with the guys. You will end up resenting her more than you can imagine. A good girlfriend lets you be a guy in all your glory, poker night and all. If she's a great girlfriend, she'll even bring you and your buddies a couple of beers and make you some of her famous sandwiches.
She has to understand that men and women are different and should allow you to be yourself. Just like you wouldn't deprive her of going shopping with her best girlfriend, she shouldn't expect you to give up the guys for her.
Number 4
She's nagless
There is nothing worse than a nag! A great girlfriend knows this and chooses her battles wisely. She knows when to speak-up and when to let it slide. You don't want a girlfriend who will give you the heights of hell for leaving a couple of dishes in the sink occasionally.
However, if you live together and you stay out all night without calling her, and she lets you have it, then you're setting yourself up for disaster. This is a situation that nobody would let slide — not even a great girlfriend.
Number 3
She gets along with friends & family
A great girlfriend will not only help your mom in the kitchen, listen to your dad's stories, and hang out with your friends, she will enjoy it. She'll make a real effort to get to know and love the most important people in your life. And she won't try to get you to ditch your best buds.
She'll actually empathize with your brother's getting dumped and suggest that you guys take him out to cheer him up. Not only that, but your friends won't roll their eyes and moan when you mention that she'll be joining you guys when she gets off work (yes, women like this do exist).
Number 2
She loves you
If you have found a woman who loves you for who you really are and not who you pretend or try to be sometimes, you should definitely hang on to her. A woman who doesn't try to change you is hard to find. Of course, everyone has their slightly annoying habits that their mate has to contend with, but if she really loves you, she will be able to cope with these.
Another way to know if she really loves you is by observing the way she looks at you and treats you on an everyday basis. If the sight of you doesn't seem to faze her either way, and she doesn't really seem to care about what you have to say, she's either playing very hard to get, or sees you as just some guy. But if a surprise visit or phone call from you makes her light up, there's no denying that she loves you.
Number 1
She makes you want to be a better man
Stop making that face... Any man who has a great girlfriend or wife will tell you that she makes him want to be a better man. She doesn't have to say or do anything; it just is that way. If you suddenly feel bad about how you treated your sister or find yourself trying to get your finances in order, you might want to think about your motivation for doing so. It could be love.
do you already have her?So, if this list seems to describe your current flame, you, my friend, are styling. In fact, you are probably the envy of all of your friends, even if they tease you for losing your status as "king player."
However, if the woman you are dating is more like the polar opposite, then I don't think that getting serious with her would be in your best interest — but you knew that already, didn't you?

Learn the sweet story behind their ladylike scent.
Availability: Out of stock
What started out as a sweet gift idea has turned into a cult fragrance. The brother duo behind Harvey Prince originally created this uncommon blend as a Mother's Day present for their stylish mom. And they didn't just design a pretty scent—they used olfactory research to develop a fragrance that's calibrated to make you smell more youthful. The result, a sophisticated mix of citrus notes and blossomy florals, will appeal to you no matter your age.
Apply the scent to your pulse points — neck, wrists, behind the ears, and inner elbows. You can also spritz a little on to the tips of your hair or any non-delicate clothing.
Very awesome product! Totally thinking about buying it asap
I love this scent ! It's sophisticated and elegant
Never boring. Makes me feel gorgeous!
Definate buy, absolutely recommend. .
This is a nice light summer scent. I love getting it in the small bottle--perfect for travel!

I was 55 miles into a 70 mile ride on Sunday when I noticed that there was no "free-wheeling noise" at the rear wheel when I wasn't pedaling.
When I finished I could spin the cranks/pedals in the drive direction without anything engaging. Obviously the pawls on the freehub body are not engaging.
Question....is there something I should/can do to fix the problem or is it an automatic freehub body replacement? The components have 11,200 miles of fast but not abusive miles. I have a Fulcrum Racing 5 wheel with an Sram OG 1070 cassette.

Love the choice of colors.
Smart color choices once again. Just feels right. You are a great artist.
Here I feel excitement in a mellow key, warm and exotic, yet frenzied like latin dance can be
This is really awesome. Also, I'd like to thank you for reminding me what these types of pictures are called. I've loved these ever since I was a little kid.
Thank you very much I only started drawing them a few years ago.. completely random.. I picked up a pen and drew a circle.. then a circle inside that circle.. all started from there
Very good. It has an African feel to it~
Great, great job!
Great, great job!
I see what you mean.. colour scheme perhaps? Thanks for your kind words
Well done Jim. Really like the colors you chose for this piece, I think the slightly more muted palette suits it! It still retains a nice warmth.
Thank you The colours are perhaps an unusual choice for me.. but once I started with them it just 'felt' right and so I carried on
great job
Great work!x
Phew, must have taken ages to colour this one ! so many details !
There really is a lot of detail in this. It looks great.
Wow, it looks like the ones the ancient people made thousand of years ago!
very intricate pattern i love how it turned out as a whole
really stunning again,
fantastic pattern design,
such work,
fantastic pattern design,
such work,
Great! Do you draw the whole Mandala at once or just a part of it and then duplicate it into a circle?
I have 2 mirrors taped together and placed at the centre of a 56cm circle. I start of by drawing the one segment but by using the mirrors I can see what the complete mandala will look like. I use this method to decide whether or not to commit to drawing the whole mandala which, as you said, is simply a matter of reflecting and rotating
nice colors *u*
The crisp details are really good, and love the symmetry. Nice!
Wow, this looks like hours of hard work and pain, okay not painfull but theres so much detail in every little shape. I love it, it is very well done!
Your mandalas are the best in here, love how they always seem to tell a story.
I love this
Wow, really strong colors. It's mesmerizing!
I like the colour scheme on this one. The intricate design is lovely too!

- Public invited to memorial Mass
A memorial Mass for Lauren Giddings is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Saturday at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 830 Poplar St., Macon, according to a member of the church staff. The public is invited to attend.

I have wondered about that area as a place to dispose of remains. It is a HUGE sprawling old cemetery next to the river. Lots of old family plots are carved into the side of the hill with retaining walls, each done individually at different angles so around every corner is a new hidden old burial plot with plenty of bushes and some trees. Some are so old/overgrown you have to investigate to tell there is a family plot there. Below that are railroad tracks and then the river (also very isolated, I believe there is a cave there by the river too, local legend has it "Satanists" are believed to have used the cave in the 70's for ritual purposes, I think the Satanist part is urban legend but a fun story to add in).
I can't imagine how cadavre dogs could effectively search a cemetery like that but I bet they had fun trying. I have taken my dog over there and he loves it, he is endlessly amused as there is so much to "discover" and pee on. Hours and hours and you have only covered a little bit of it, plus very quiet even on weekends.
When people were talking about whether the killer had a car I thought about that cemetery, it is just 3-4 blocks away and quiet, isolated, with access to the river which is very deserted on that side (there is a paved walk way on the other side for recreation but those folks would be easy to spot). Even on the weekends the few people you see are usually at quite a distance, during the week it is probably almost completely deserted.

The only other unsolved homicide in Macon involving dismemberment I can find is that of Edna Baines. Just a thought...that maybe there's a connection between the two cases. I know that Lauren would've been in High School when Ms. Baines was murdered and lived in Maryland at the time, but Ms. Baines had served some time in prison so it's likely she knew some shady characters.
According to this press release........
.......Lauren was working for a law firm while she attended law school. Might she have met someone at that law firm, or even in school, who was connected to the Baines' case? Might she perhaps have done research into some cold cases, including that of Edna Baines, as an employee of the law firm?

A couple of quick things I wanted to add to the discussion.
1) Has anyone else seen the interview with McD where they told him about finding the torso and it was the first time he heard they had found something? His reaction was VERY awkward. I realize that there is not any "normal" way to react to finding out something like that, but a lot of people that I have talked to thought it was strange. I have tried to find the video online, but every one I find seems to have that part edited out. I don't know if it was something they felt needed to be omitted or what, but his first finding out about the body is definitely on film.
2) I am pretty sure the boyfriend is really distraught. Word is his last girlfriend (maybe even fiance) committed suicide. So this would most certainly knock the wind out of his sails, to say the least. And although that is unusual, I think it's just a sad happenstance that this poor guy has lost two women. And I do remember police saying somewhere that they have spoken with him.
It really drives me crazy to think about this case going cold. So until the LE throw their hands up and wave the white flag I will continue to hold onto hope that they have something we might not know about.
Last edited by Lomaker; 07-09-2011 at 10:50 AM. Reason: spelling, I need to proof read more!
As far as him having an "odd" reaction, he obviously nearly breaks into tears at least once in the above video (when he says Joe is also friend of Giddings, he nearly cries). He is in shock. If he was THAT good of an actor then why would his "reaction" be odd if he put the torso there? He would know they would find it and decide on the appropriate reaction. People's reaction to really shocking news like this varies greatly. Some get immediately emotional, others hear it and feel nothing at all initially, just numbness.
As far as the boyfriend's previous girlfriend committing suicide....wow! BIG red flag! Probably unrelated, this situation is so very very different in so many ways but the police had to take a strong interest in that.

This may be backtracking a bit, but is it not possible the killer didn't want the torso found? I know we have talked about it being a message or a taunt or game of sorts, but is it possible that the killer really just wanted rid of it and was hopeful it would find it's way to the dump?

I don't know. Just seems like to me if the killer didn't want the torso or anything else found, they wouldn't have placed it right in her yard. They could've found a dumpster somewhere or maybe even a neighbor's garbage if they were without a vehicle. The river is not that far away; everything could have been dumped there.
But placing the torso in the yard is like a challenge from the killer to the police, because they know it was not there the night before. Like a game of chess, taunting them with the fact that they were right there within reach just hours earlier ..... giving the police motivation to continue their search because she is not whole ..... all the while watching from the sidelines & gaining a satisfaction from this. All IMO
I'm anxiously awaiting to see if another body is found sometime soon.
This case is different, I think we all believe that whomever did this probably DID know her (at least those are the folks the police are pursuing), they probably did live nearby and have contact with her. That changes everything. Apparently all of hte POI are people that she knew or had contact with. That means any tiny shred of evidence, a fiber you can match to their carpet or their clothes, a tiny piece of their hair in her apartment, etc... can be explained even if they trace it to the person that left it! The defense attorney is going to say that hair/fiber/whatever could have gotten there a million different ways and you can't convict someone of murder based on evidence like that.
Now if the police found a bloody fingerprint in her bathroom that would be another matter, but if they found something that obvious they would have already solved this. Of course if there is good evidence but the police can't link it to anyone now (or prove it meant they killed her) then there is the possibility of that evidence being linked to another similar crime, past or future, which would change everything. If it is a serial killer (or one that plans to become serial) the evidence will be linked eventually.

This may have been posted, the article already was...but still:
Macon police Maj. Charles Stone likened the status of the probe to a poker hand.
"We're waiting for that last card," Stone told The Telegraph on Friday. "That last card is either gonna give us a full house or we're gonna end up moving on to other things."
It is a good thing the FBI was involved from day one. If the FBI wasn't involved the Macon PD would be feeling like they have failed and/or wondering if they messed up somehow. I don't think this was a challenge directed at the Macon PD, sheesh the Macon PD already has a ton of headaches with **** crime, and who would want to cause Chief Burns grief or challenge him to a game of evil wit? He is a likeable guy, not some arrogant idiot.
I really think if this wasn't personal it was about Mercer. Looks like a highly intelligent killer dumping an over the top high value victim in an amazingly gruesome way on the doorstep of a famous university (or more specifically on the front steps of the law school).
My gut says this isn't the typical serial killer getting off on the thrill of the kill and enjoying the afterglow high. If it were about the thrill then more thrills are the priority; stay undercover and go unnoticed (hide your victims) so you can do it again. A predator doesn't want to scare the heck out of the sheep, they want the sheep to simply graze and go about their business and be easy victims.
I really think someone is messing with Mercer (assuming it wasn't personal against Giddings, haven't ruled that out but she appeared to be nice and I just don't see it being personal). Just my opinion, a gut feeling. Mercer is the hub of high iq in this area, and whomever did this is playing a game and is very intelligent, they wouldn't bother challenging the Macon PD.

Hi all! Just got activated! I'm from the Macon area, and have been following this case closely.
Lomaker had mentioned a longer interview with McD, and I have the link to it. I was listening to WMAC-AM on Thursday morning, and I remembered hearing snippits from the interview, and that the police requested a copy of the tape from the woman doing the interview. This is an even longer version than what was played on WMAZ's website on the day of the discovery of her body. Tell me what y'all think. http://www.wmac-am.com/includes/news...oclockhour.mp3.

McDaniels isn't acting, no one is that good of an actor (well if they are, they aren't going to law school and getting locked up for crimes such as this). That audio is heartbreaking. The authorities wanted a copy of that tape because it could influence future jurors, and they didn't want to show the poster boy POI in a sympathetic light.
I always thought he was innocent and being horribly tortured as a convenient pawn, the police/da should be really ashamed right now(he just graduated too, just like Lauren, he was happy and had crossed a milestone and then his life turned into a nightmare while people point and ridicule). That audio makes me feel even worse for that poor boy. He didn't do this, there is no way he is acting.
(PS be careful about posting names and such if they have not been identified in news stories...the site rules are super strict here).
WoW thanks for link..
First word out of McD's mouth.. "Lauren WAS my neighbor!.." and this is BEFORE Lauren is thought to be dead.. This is when they are looking for her!
WoW thanks for link..
First word out of McD's mouth.. "Lauren WAS my neighbor!.." and this is BEFORE Lauren is thought to be dead.. This is when they are looking for her!
Why does the audio say "let's watch the video", why would a radio show say that? Is there a page with the video too?
I find it really crappy that the "rest" of the McDaniel interview was blasted all over the web, showing him looking mentally distraunt (i.e. weird, unstable, deranged) but editing out everything that leads up to it and explains WHY he was distraunt and shows him in a sympathetic light.

This intensive treatment closely replicates the scalps own natural oils with a blend of carrier oils and essential oils derived from plants and flowers. Moisturizes hair and scalp, penetrating deeply into the hair shaft to revive, strengthen and restore hair's health.
I have recently been plagued by a dry, itchy scalp with scaling. Dandruff shampoos & conditioners alone didn't solve the problem but when I added this wonderful oil, I found my solution. I rub the oil into my scalp once a week and leave it in at least 20 minutes. Then I massage in a moisturizing shampoo, add water to lather and my scalp does great for the whole week. If you have this problem I recommend you try this product.
I have fine, long, straight hair. My ends are slightly dry so I'm always looking for something to condition my ends without weighing my hair down. I rubbed this to my ends and brushed through my entire head. Left it for about half an hour and then shampooed it. I must have shampooed the moisture off because my ends felt just a tiny bit softer after my regular shampoo and conditioner. I tried it about a handful of times and it didn't make a noticeable difference. I prefer to use a conditioning cream at my tips after a regular conditioner, it works better for me.
This oil is the best hair treatment, hands down. It smells so good and doesn't weight down the hair like other ones such as Fredricki (sp?) that stinks and makes you break out. I have straw dry hair that I airdry a little, and then rub some on my hair before I finish blow drying. It looks like fresh, babydoll hair with a natural shine and enhancing my hair color hue. Its pretty now. Will never buy anything else. Ever.
1. Brush hair thoroughly with a boar bristle brush.
2. Taking one inch sections of dry, unwashed hair, apply oil liberally to the point of saturation, work it in with your fingers, concentrating two inches from the scalp through the ends. For additional benefit, heat oiled hair with a blow dryer for one to two minutes.
3. Before wetting hair, apply Philip B Peppermint and Avocado Shampoo and massage into hair for two to three minutes to release excess oil from hairshaft. Use a small amount of water to lather. Rinse with warm water. Repeat with a light shampoo if necessary.
4. Use Philip B Deep Conditioning Creme Rinse and leave on for a minute. Rinse well.
5. Finish with a dash of Philip B pH Restorative Detangling Toning Mist on the ends. Dry and style as usual. Notice softness, bounce, and shine immediately.

A satellite camp is a loophole in the NCAA rules that allows a coach to be a guest speaker at any camp as long as the coach doesn't host the camp. Full story »
Big Ten Network analyst and former college coach Gerry DiNardo said Michigan, the only school with more than 900 all-time wins, would be bringing in a "rock star" capable of returning the Wolverines to elite status in a short time. Full story »

Losing man's best friend
1 2 3 Next page >
Our beloved dog Kirby died last week. She was a yellow lab mix adopted from the North Shore Animal League 16 years ago. A long life— but not nearly long enough for us. My three sons named her after the baseball player, Kirby Puckett. Never mind that she was a female. To say we're devastated is an understatement. The house feels empty; someone is missing. Why is the loss of a pet so painful? I guess it's because she was a member of the family who gave no-strings-attached, unconditional love and loyalty without expecting anything in return.
Why do we call a dog man's best friend? I feel as though I've lost one. Kirby was my partner; we did so much together. For years, I took her on three-mile walks, five days a week. Actually, she walked me; I could barely keep her with her. If she saw a squirrel, she nearly knocked me down. She'd pick up anything (and I mean anything!) and carry it back home; that's why her breed is called "retriever." As the years passed and she started to slow down, those walks were reduced to two miles, then one. The week before she died, she barely made it to the corner, inching long— no leash needed.
From May to October, I love to work outside on our front porch (not in the back— I'm from Brooklyn). There I write my radio scripts, newspaper columns and books. All I need is a radio (tuned to WCBS 880!), a pot of coffee and Kirby at my side. She became my co-author. And if I'm lucky enough to get my novel published, she'll be in the dedication. Every so often she'd wag her tail at a neighbor or bark at a passing dog. The letter carrier, landscaper and sanitation workers all knew her. I –– we —worked hours at a time. It's lonely now. I'm going to put up a picture to feel her presence.
Perhaps my most memorable image is of her lying in my bed. She jumped up and curled up precisely where I was lying when I went to work.

Hi Steve,
I read your article and I am so sorry for your loss. I'm sure it is heartbreaking. Dogs - you can't live with them and you can't live without them. You might try to get another dog that needs the love you have to offer. I will keep you in my thoughts. Be well! graceann pizzarelli

Hi Steve,
We'd like to offer our sincerest condolences on your loss. We know what you're going through. We lost our almost 16 year old Japanese Chin last weekend. He died in my husband's arms. The void left by his death is horrible. Just know that Kirby will always be with you.

Man City's Vincent Kompany admits sympathy for Liverpool after shootout
Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany admits he felt for Liverpool after his side's dramatic Capital One Cup final victory on Sunday.
Kompany earned plaudits for commiserating with beaten Liverpool players before celebrating with his teammates at Wembley.
City beat the Reds on penalties after a compelling and energy-sapping contest ended 1-1 after 120 minutes.
The Belgium defender said: "I didn't do it necessarily thinking of anything. It was just when we missed the first penalty I remember the...

This appeared on today's update from Frommer's Budget Travel website:
Budget Biking All Across the U.S.
Destinations: USA
Provider: Adventure Cycling Association
Activities: Adventure, Outdoor, Road Trip
Dates: Various and ongoing
Author: Robert Haru Fisher
Bikers of the world, unite! With Adventure Cycling Association, you have nothing to lose but, possibly, your breath. Especially if you sign up for their 77-day Lewis & Clark Expedition Tour, covering 3,250 miles across two-thirds of America at an average of 50 per day. But then, the $2,800 cost works out to a mere $37 daily rate. There are two departures, on June 10 and June 15, 2003, and the course runs from Hartford, Illinois to Astoria, Oregon.
There are a lot less strenuous bike trips, of course, the majority of them being seven-day "events," supported by a van trailing behind you with most of the load. Among them are two Lewis & Clark Historic Tours, leaving Missoula MT on July 12 and 19, 2003, and costing just $850. You'll pedal 610 miles total. On these van-supported "events," you stay usually in tents, often hosted at schools or private campgrounds. In most cases, sponsors say, motel options are available for an extra fee.
If that still sounds like too much (100 miles per day or thereabouts), consider some deals which take you only 280 to 300 miles in a week. Those would be the Cycle Montana or American Explorer events, respectively, costing $700 each. On the Cycle Montana tour (new this year), you'll follow over 200 miles of the Lewis & Clark Bicycle Trail, all on paved roads. It's a loop trip from Great Falls, starting July 19, 2003.
ACA's American Explorer tour (also new for 2003) begins and ends near Washington, D.C., and is also completely on paved roads. You visit Richmond, Nelly's Ford and Charlottesville, plus other sites connected to Lewis & Clark, before returning to the Virginia state capital.
All the trips mentioned have been organized in order to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Lewis & Clark Expedition, which opened up the newly purchased Louisiana Territory to American settlement in 1803.
In addition to van-supported "events," the ACA has three other types of trips. There are 10-15 day Excursions, of which six are planned for 2003. Excursions are guided but otherwise self-supported (meaning no van).
Expeditions (such as the 77-day one mentioned above) are 60- to 93-day self-supported, guided trips, of which, again, there are six this year. They cover various routes within the National Bicycle Route Network.
Finally, there are instructional courses, including three-day Leadership Training and 6-day Introduction to Off-Road Touring programs.
The ACA, founded in 1973 as Bikecentennial, says it is America's premier not-for-profit organization dedicated to bicycle travel, with nearly 40,000 members across the country. For more information, to become a member, or to apply to join one of the tours, contact them at www.adventurecycling.org, or phone them at 800/721-8754.

This Is About Books
Visualizing a Lifetime of Reading
por Jessica Royals
This Is About Books: Visualizing a Lifetime of Reading explores my personal bibliography, the books I've read in my lifetime. I'm an avid reader and a dedicated list maker, so I naturally began to keep records of what I had read. In designing this book, I examined trends in my reading habits from frequently selected authors and genres to common book settings. Through this process, I've been able to explore why certain books have been so significant. I'm eager to add new volumes to my personal bibliography and see what worlds they open up.

Nanocrystal Corporation
|Nanocrystal Corporation Patent applications
|Patent application number
|DEFECT-FREE GROUP III - NITRIDE NANOSTRUCTURES AND DEVICES USING PULSED AND NON-PULSED GROWTH TECHNIQUES - Exemplary embodiments provide semiconductor devices including high-quality (i.e., defect free) Group III—Nitride nanostructures and uniform Group III—Nitride nanostructure arrays as well as their scalable processes for manufacturing, where the position, orientation, cross-sectional features, length and the crystallinity of each nanostructure can be precisely controlled. A pulsed growth mode can be used to fabricate the disclosed Group III—Nitride nanostructures and/or nanostructure arrays providing a uniform length of about 0.01-20 micrometers (μm) with constant cross-sectional features including an exemplary diameter of about 10 nanometers (nm)-500 micrometers (μm). Furthermore, core-shell nanostructure/MQW active structures can be formed by a core-shell growth on the non-polar sidewalls of each nanostructure and can be configured in nanoscale photoelectronic devices such as nanostructure LEDs and/or nanostructure lasers to provide tremendously-high efficiencies. Additional growth mode transitions from the pulsed to the non-pulsed growth mode and subsequent transitions from non-pulsed to pulsed growth mode are employed in order to incorporate certain group III—Nitride compounds more efficiently into the nanostructures and form devices of the designed shape, morphology and stochiometric composition. In addition, high-quality group III—Nitride substrate structures can be formed by coalescing the plurality of group III—Nitride nanostructures and/or nanostructure arrays to facilitate the fabrication of visible LEDs and lasers.
|Ultra-Low Dislocation Density Group III - Nitride Semiconductor Substrates Grown Via Nano- Or Micro-Particle Film - A high quality Group III-Nitride semiconductor crystal with ultra-low dislocation density is grown epitaxially on a substrate via a particle film with multiple vertically-arranged layers of spheres with innumerable micro- and/or nano-voids formed among the spheres. The spheres can be composed of a variety of materials, and in particular silica or silicon dioxide (SiO2).

I have an external USB hard drive that I used to use for backup that has not been used in about a year. I tried to use the other day and it does not seem to work properly.
Upon plugging in the external HD into the USB port, the typical windows sound goes off. But it takes 5+ minutes for the actual HD to then pop up in windows explorer.
The drive spins fine, but seems to read data well, with what would seems ver little effort although the data light does flash. Eventually I get a message that the drive is not accessible.
I can safely eject the drive still even after this message, which is quite strange.
I've tried different PC's/and Macs as well with the same issue, as well as different USB cables.
To make a long story short, there is data I need recovered from this drive, although not much data (maybe 300mb worth) I could probably pop the drive out of its case and make it an internal drive to test myself further. But I would rather prevent issues that could further impact data recovery in a hopeful attempt to get most of it back.
So in conclusion, I would like to get an idea from those that may have had professionals do data recovery, and if the recovery was successful and maybe any other additional thoughts on similar situations. Thanks.

Uche Jombo's Marriage Clocks 1
The marriage of star actress, Uche Jombo to her Puerto Rican hubby, Kenney Rodriguez is one today, Thursday, May 16, 2013. Exactly a year ago, the duo staged a secret wedding.
The wedding came barely weeks after the actress reportedly denied any marriage plans published by © 2013 Nigeriafilms.com.
Shortly after the secret wedding, Uche Jombo was faced with controversies. First, her fans were waiting for her wedding pictures which were later released after a month the wedding was held.
She also had to fight with another controversy of not returning to Nigeria in June with her hubby, but only had a wedding ring to flaunt at an event in Lagos to show that she is truly married.
Uche and her husband are presently in America.
From Nigeriafilms.com, we wish Uche Jombo and Kenney Rodriguez a happy wedding anniversary.

The Wildcats' Australian prop Justin Poore was last week named in the 27-strong Exiles squad for the June 14 game against England but Agar believes he ought to have been joined by at least one of his club-mates.
"Some might use it as a focus," Agar said. "Our overseas players have been remarkable for us from this time last year and Poorey has come into the mix this year and added an awful lot to the squad.
"Timmy Smith's form over a long period of time has been very, very good. I think everybody acknowledges the influence he has on us and the creativity and smartness he posseses.
"Paul Aiton and Dean Collis have been in good form for us all year. Dean is a class act, a very good attacking player who has backed that up with some tough defence this year, while Paul Aiton is a true warrior.
"His form at the moment is through the roof. I think, pound for pound, he will give us as good a value as any player in the competition. If you are looking at week in, week out consistency, toughness and value for money, he'll take a lot of beating as a signing, particularly for a club like us."
Collis, now in his second season in Super League, was disappointed to miss out on initial selection for Brian McClennan's overseas squad but more disappointed for two of his team-mates.
"Paul and Timmy are playing really well," he said. "I was pretty confident Justin would get named because he's been playing pretty well and has brought a lot to our team.
"But I think Paul is one of the best players in the competition at the moment.
"Personally, it does give you a bit of motivation to try and prove people wrong."

I've been riding my Cannondale around Cocoa Beach, Orlando, and Merritt Island for 16 years- I bought it with my first full pay check when I finally got a "real job" after college. I've taken it to Europe, where I rode from France into Switzerland and back (not really that long a ride, but it was hillier than I'm used to here in Flat FLA.) Most of my riding is urban, on surface roads and bike paths, but I have no problem taking the bike on the beach at low tide. A very good rinse in fresh water, a few hours drying in the FLA sun, and more oil, and it's fine.
I've replaced parts that wear out after literally thousands of miles, but no big overhaul.
I hadn't ridden in about three years, but I had taken up jogging. Then I fractured my tibia and can't jog anymore, so I'm back on the bike. Why did I ever quit???
I ride almost daily, but as I get older the heat really gets to me sooner, so I don't seem to go as far as I used to. I was 25 when I bought the bike... I'm a little slower now, but no less nimble.
I've got some tech. questions, which is why I joined the forum. I'll post them wherever they belong.
If you're in Brevard and see a guy on a black Cannondale with a white helmet sweatin' like crazy, wave at him!

Josh Ritter with the Minnesota Orchestra, 7/15/10
Photos by Alexa Jones
Josh Ritter and the Royal City Band with the Minnesota Orchestra
July 15, 2010
Orchestra Hall
Of all the Dylan acolytes to make their mark thus far in the aughts, Idaho native Josh Ritter would seem to have the inside track on best living up to the pride of Hibbing's lofty standards over the long haul. The 33-year-old can lay claim to all the key ingredients a "new Dylan" needs: a relatively isolated upbringing (he was born and raised in tiny Moscow, Idaho), a surprisingly malleable voice (he can turn from warm tenor with just a dash of twang to shit kicking' rambling blues Cowboy with snarl to spare on a dime), and, most importantly, a similarly audacious in scope lyrical sensibility. While Ritter's never going to have mass popular success -- what true folkie does these days? -- he's managed to build an enviably solid career by dint of consistently solid albums backed up by a truly epic road warrior work ethic. Even, so, it's one thing to be an NPR darling and quite another to be booked as the headliner at Orchestra Hall and have your work fleshed out by a nationally recognized string section. Recent performers to receive the orchestral pop makeover at the hands of the Minnesota Orchestra have been of significantly higher star wattage (Ben Folds, Elvis Costello), and featured extensive catalogs that often made prominent use of strings already.
While Ritter's tunes have undeniably grown more robust and lavishly arranged over the course of his six albums, he still comes off more as a homespun folk-rocker than big-band leader. So the question heading into the show was whether the formal trappings of the Minnesota Orchestra would set atop Ritter's acoustic-based tunes like an ill-fitting formal suit or take them to the next level?
Photos by Alexa Jones
The answer, over the course of an 80-minute show before a near-capacity crowd, was definitively the latter. As it turns out, Josh Ritter and his 4-piece backing unit, the Royal City Band, are old pros at this whole pop-music-meets orchestra thing, having previously teamed up with the Boston Symphony and New York Pops orchestras (a fact I learned from skimming that night's program). The 1-2 opening punch of "Change of Time" followed by "Rumors" proved the Minnesota Orchestra equally adept backing for Ritter whether supplying understated warm brass tones ("Change of Time") or Rocky-style fervor ("Rumors").
While clearly comfortable swinging for the symphonic fences, Ritter's show actually benefited from restraint, with 4 of the 14 songs featuring no orchestral accompaniment and many of the arrangements opting for understated support over bombastic backing. Their relative scarcity made the moments when the orchestra fully swelled behind the band that much more effective ("The Other Side" and "A Girl in the War" featured particularly riveting, high-drama orchestral arrangements). Clearly not just another night on the road for Ritter, he beamed like a giddy schoolboy throughout the night and was bouncing on his toes as he strummed and sang. The joy was infectious and made for a night to remember from an increasingly polished showman.
Critic's bias: Pretty sure Ritter peaked four years ago with the flat-out stupendous Animal Years album, but So Runs the World Away is certainly a solid workmanlike effort.
The crowd: Half gray-haired Orchestra Hall regulars seemingly befuddled at the proceedings, half 89.3 the Current fanboys eager to get clap-alongs started.
Overheard in the crowd: "I would have gone to see Ben Folds here last year, but it was on Halloween ... I drink on Halloween."
Random notebook dump: "I wish for you all to have the chance to play with an orchestra sometime ... it's great." - Josh Ritter

Good value pin punch set
By skiwithjohn
from NW Indiana
About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
This roll pin punch set is a good value. They did the job I purchased them for (changing CV axles, had a roll pin to punch out) and worked excellent.
its a punch!
By Aj
from Lost Causes
About Me Professional
its works great! i use them mostly to remove the roll pins in axles and t-cases. they work just fine for what they are supposed to do. Was an inside track member so it was even cheaper. i see many years of service knocking pins out.
Punch them or pin them
By Dr. Vdub Fixer
from Williston, ND
Long length is great. Used to drive out bearing race through an axle support. Fierce cross hatching on handle is superb for holding onto the punch when hands are greasy. Good variety of sizes. Straight shank is good for driving pins.
Great metal punch set
By A. King

I like these better then my craftsmen set because they have the knurled handle.I own two sets of these in two garages. Never had a problem with my first set used at my shop, so I recently bought a set for at home.
Excellent For The Price

Great punches for the price. My only complaint is the soft handle material dents a little with every hit of a hammer, but it really doesn't affect functionality.

worked great

Just used it them for some light duty jobs and they performed great. Can't say how tough they are in heavier jobs but for the price I think this is the best deal you will find.

This is the kind of tool you buy BEFORE you need it. It'll be there when the time comes and you won't have to run out an pay top buck for the same thing!
