What type of motor best suits ground effect?
Inrunner or out runner?
Or does it matter?

The main thing is the lower the thrust line the less pitch change with power changes. For a lower thrust line you want the smallest diameter prop that will work. For more thrust you can increase number of blades instead of diameter. RCPowers like 6x4 props, I guess that's a good start. At low speeds props are better than fans.
You can look back and see what worked in previous posts. Generally if prop is ahead of cg prop wash should blow downwards, behind upwards. The closer to cg the larger the angle. The ideal is generally not possible which is thrust line passes through vertical cg.
If you r building with foam build tail larger and cut down till you get close to what you want that works. Balance it to fly OGE but make sure the hull step is big enough to allow it to rotate for lift off or that the incidence is enough for take off.
What this forum has noted is they don't want to rotate probably because too much hull behind cg and when we put the cg back it will fly IGE but any little gust or PIO(over control) that causes it to increase height causes it to b very difficult and unpleasant to control.
Hope this helps.
Hey guy's,
It's been quite a while, but it's very cool to see that the thread is still running! I moved from the Netherlands(Europe) to Kenya(East Africa) in February, and I am currently flying on a Cessna T210 6seater throughout the country, to deliver precious goods for a Security Company. We bought the plane in March in the United Kingdom, and flew it down to Kenya ourselves, well.. I can tell you that that has been the most amazing trip ever! It took a total of 7 days to get there, having landed in England, Holland, Greece (twice due to some fuel problems), Egypt, Sudan and Kenya. All in all I am having the most amazing time.. Bushflying my way through the days.
Anyway, you can imagine that all this brought a rather abrupt stop to the Ekranoplan building.. Having left my unfinished Type C WIG and the huge Bixel in a corner of my garage. I found some other guys who do modelflying here, so I have been able to do quite a lot of aeromodelling over the last few months.. But finding a flat space for an Ekranoplan is difficult, as is the search for proper building materials..
I would say.. Keep up the good work, I hope to be able to continue my quest for a perfect WIG model this or next year.. But who knows. Anyway, amazing thanks for all you guys for the cooperation and idea sharing we have had in this topic since 2009, it's still by far the richest treasure chest of practical WIG aerodynamics and designs in the World.
Many thanks and best regards to all!

wow just last night i was thinking about a glider that is stable in GE to mimic the energy saving technique of an albatross!!!!!!
i cant find the video i was looking for but if u notice the landing on this one it seems to skim for a while close to the ground which suggests it does not get nose heavy IGE. i think with more airspeed it would continue skimming for a lot longer. something like this might balance in GE hands off and make it easy for the IGE semi circle portion of the albatross soaring pattern.

nice having you back marijn, was just saying this blog is going to slow without you. on which page is your aircat?

one of my observations of the bixel and aircat, the pontoon designs dont allow them to rotate easily which may increase ground roll dramatically. with such a long design i have had to much vertical area forward of Cg to give it enough incidence(AOA) to lift off easily. my next try will be shorter with more wingspan and a bigger hull step.

Finished it!
About to enter it into my schools science fair, unfortunately I haven't been able to test it, yet.
As you can see it is a lippisch similar to the airfish.
@captarmour, thanks for the advice, it helped
here it is, I hope it works

Looks nice. Where is your battery? Cg looks like it may be closer to 1/2 chord than 1/4 chord. If that's the case keep her close to the ground as she would not be happy OGE.
My guess though is if the motor is above the cockpit and batt as far forward as possible it could balance at 1/4 chord.

Also vertical side area ahead of cg promotes yaw instability which with 1/4 chord forward sweep will yaw instability would be compounded.
That being said the farther back are your winglets the better.
Your tail incidence looks to be less than wing incidence which is good for pitch stability. If it trims out with a lot of nose down elevator trim then ur cg needs to go forward untill ur elevator is close to inline. If anything err to a bit of 'nose up' elevator.
Happy flying

The battery is a lipo- only 56 grams.
The craft is slightly imbalanced, even with the battery as far forward as possible.
having some problems with the radio =/ so testing will have to wait.
I know this is the wrong thread- but does any one know what would be wrong with a futaba 6exp with a 35.100mhz- channel 70(originally it had 35.200- channel 80) and a four channel single conversion receiver with the same frequency of crystal? cant find the answer anywhere, illl probably have to start a knew thread.

blankKatie Kirsten
Katie Kirsten enters her fourth season at the helm of the Dukes' women's rowing program and as a head coach. Kirsten became the first full time mentor of the Dukes in June 2002.
Committed to seeing the overall improvement of the program, Kirsten assures the Dukes' continued progress by competing in top Regattas as well as bringing in solid talent each season.
The 2005 slate was one of the most successful for the Red & Blue who took seventh overall at the Atlantic 10 Championship. Duquesne took silver in two events - the Lightweight 8 and Novice 4 - and advanced to the finals in both the Novice 8 and Quad. The Red & Blue finished fourth overall at the MACRA Championships as the Lightweight 8 took silver and the Varsity 4 captured bronze. Two Dukes, Colleen McCroskey and McGravey were named to the Academic All-Conference squad while McCroskey captured her second A-10 Academic Student-Athlete of Year honor.
Highlighting her second season was DU winning the inaugural Governor's Cup at the 2003 Head of the Ohio and taking the point's trophy at the Head of the Speakmon. The Dukes tied for eighth at the 2004 Atlantic 10 Championship led by a bronze medal performance by the Lightweight 8.
The Novice 8 and Lightweight 4 took first at the 2004 MACRA championships and four Dukes were lauded to the Atlantic 10 Academic All-Conference squad in Colleen McCroskey, Jessica Lisjak, Karen Predmore and Kate Talarczyk. McCroskey was tabbed the A-10's Academic Student-Athlete of the Year.
Duquesne finished ninth at the 2003 A-10 championship in her inaugural season at the helm and three Dukes were tabbed to the Atlantic 10 All-Academic team led by Karen Predmore who was named the A-10's Academic Student-Athlete of the Year. Predmore went on to be named a first team District 2 At-Large Academic All-America pick.
Kirsten came to Duquesne after a one-year stint as the assistant rowing coach/head novice coach for the Carnegie Mellon University men's and women's programs. She also serves as the head coach of the Heinz Corporation Rowing Team. As a collegian, Kirsten was a four-year letterman at coxswain for Robert Morris. Her accomplishments include two Dad Vail National Regatta championships, three Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Rowing Championships and representing the United States at the Henley Women's Regatta in England. She graduated in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science of Business Administration with an emphasis in sports marketing. As an undergrad, she also competed on the Colonials' soccer team.
The 26-year old Kirsten also oversees the men's rowing club.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Cromarty4 Gentle cleanser post laser treatment I was recommended this cleanser after having laser treatment for my rosacea. It is an extremely gentle non irritating cleanser which did not irritate my skin and I would recommend it, but the only downside is that I think the manufacturers have made the tube too difficult to squeeze the cream out of the tube. You think the tube is empty when it actual fact there's quite a lot left. Why can't Avene use an ordinary tube as they do for other creams? April 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Soothing cleanser Has an unusual texture - like cleansing milk with a slight resistance on the skin. I massaged gently till absorbed then removed with a muslin cloth soaked in lukewarm water. This is not what is recommended but I prefer to do this. Removes make-up as effectively as other cleansers. Has a unique delivery system to prevent dust etc contaminating the contents. (Avene say bacteria, but I don't know about that claim.) Used in conjunction with Tolerance extreme anti-irritating cream they really calmed my skin. (Please see my review of that product too.) Am going to make Avene my skincare system from now on. April 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jenny131 This cleanser is really soothing and non irritating, but I find that its extremely greasy and even leaves a greasy film when I try to rinse it off with water. I think it also caused a few mini breakouts. February 14, 2014

Then, students should present their own claims using facts and analysis for support.
Illegal music downloads bring huge penalty
Coverage of electronic technology, the music business and other entertainment often appears in the main news pages, not just in specialized sections. Challenge students to find examples.
Digital music files haven't replaced live concerts, CDs and DVDs. Send pupils on a newspaper search for an article, event listing or ad featuring musical entertainment from the era before MP3s.
Jurors in the downloading lawsuit trial learned about technical and legal aspects of online music delivery. Start a class discussion about the role of newspapers in educating readers of all ages about advances in communication, technology and other aspects of modern life. How does this result in better voters, jurors, parents and consumers?
In the first jury trial of a music downloading lawsuit, a single mother in Minnesota this month was ordered to pay $220,000 to six record companies after being found guilty of stealing and making available at least 24 songs through her account with an Internet file-sharing site called Kazaa. An industry group, the Recording Industry Association of America, sued 30-year-old Jammie Thomas for copyright violations – just as it has sued more than 26,000 people nationwide since 2003. Most of the others, including many students, settled out of court for a few thousand dollars.
Thomas, originally accused of downloading 1,702 songs without payment, chose a legal showdown instead of a settlement. Her lawyer argued that someone could have hacked into the mom's Kazaa account, dowloaded the songs to her home computer and shared them with others – a scenario jurors found impossible to believe. They sided unanimously with the music industry and held Thomas responsible.
Internet piracy costs record companies billions of dollars, they say. Ever since the original Napster emerged in the late 1990s, the industry association has been working to crack down on file sharers. Now it gains a legal advantage from the Oct. 4 decision, which shows that Internet anonymity doesn't protect digital song thieves from costly lawsuits. The industry hopes that message makes legal downloads of 99-cent tracks on iTunes look like the only safe way to go.
Trial winner says: "This decision affirms what we've said all along. This kind of action is illegal and when people break the law there can be real consequences. This sends a very clear message that if you steal music online there can be real consequences. There is a lot of deterrent value to that message becoming public." -- Jonathan Lamy, spokesman for the Recording Industry Association of America
Trial loser says: "I refused to settle with the RIAA because I didn't do anything wrong. . . . Just because it's my name on the case, doesn't mean I'm alone. There are so many other people who have taken up the case with me." – Jammie Thomas of Duluth, Minn.
Consumer activist says: "This lawsuit campaign is misguided. I would predict that this would have zero effect on the people using file sharing networks. The record industry has sued over 20,000 so far and there's been no slowdown. We may see a temporary drop in the near term, but I would predict that the levels would be back within six months." – Cindy Cohn, legal director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation

Fab Acquires One Nordic Furniture
Online retailer Fab said Wednesday it has acquired Finnish e-retailer One Nordic Furniture, which sells ready-to-assemble design furniture and accessories.
Details of the acquisition weren't disclosed, but Fab said in a press release that the transaction, which will be paid for in cash and stock, is valued in the tens of millions of dollars. One Nordic's team will own 5% of the combined company once the deal has closed.
Fab started as a gay social network. It switched in 2011 to an e-commerce site selling affordable design goods. The company has raised more than $300 million in venture capital funding, including a $150 million round a year ago that valued the company at about $1 billion, but it has been shedding staff over the past year as it has struggled and attempted to realign its business model.
Until recently Fab Chief Executive Jason Goldberg kept a blog in which he documented in detail his company's ups and downs. The blog was deactivated in May around the same time as the company said it would lay off between 80 and 90 employees in New York.
One Nordic started operations in 2012, touting affordable, high-quality furniture and accessories inspired by the much-celebrated Nordic design heritage. In doing so it resembles the Swedish furniture and home goods behemoth IKEA.
One Nordic Chief Executive Joel Roos acknowledges the parallel. "In some Swedish media stories we have been dubbed 'the [luxury] IKEA,'" he said.
Mr. Roos told The Wall Street Journal that the company's key asset is the intuitive method it has developed for assembling furniture and accessories that customers have ordered online, with no tools or instructions required.
"Assembling our furniture is easier, faster and more intuitive than assembling IKEA products," he said.
The company's goods are manufactured in the Baltic states, Finland and Sweden, and it is selling them to more than 20 countries around the world, Mr. Roos said. He declined to disclose financial information for the company, but he said that at the current rate of sales the company will generate about 1 million euros in revenue this year.
Fab's acquisition of One Nordic flows from the long-term strategic plan it laid out last fall, it said in a press statement, which includes launching its own line of furnishings.

Salmon Fishing In The Yemen: Director'
- Fecha al aire:
- From the director of Chocolat and the Oscar-winning® screenwriter of Slumdog Millionaire comes the inspirational comedy Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. When Britain's leading fisheries expert (Ewan McGregor) is approached by a consultant (Emily Blunt) to help realize a sheikh's (Amr Waked) vision of bringing the sport of fly-fishing to the desert, he immediately thinks the project is both absurd and unachievable. But when the Prime Minister's overzealous press secretary (Kristin Scott Thomas) latches on to it as a "good will" story, this unlikely team will put it all on the line and embark on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove the impossible, possible.

Once-hot action director Renny Harlin is now saying he knew 'Cutthroat Island' -- a.k.a. the megaflop that basically sunk his career -- was box-office suicide, and that he and then-wife Geena Davis "begged" to get out of making it.
"Originally, Michael Douglas was supposed to star," Harlin told KCRW. "[Geena and I] begged to be let go... And I don't think I've ever said this in any other interview. We begged." Harlin confides, "Geena was scared mindless about headlining this film. We felt that a pirate movie with a female lead was suicidal, but we were contractually obligated."
During the interview, Harlin puts all the blame on the now-defunct production company, Carolco, which wouldn't release him and Davis from their contract and told him flat-out, "We don't care if the script is not good." The director reveals, "I personally spent a million dollars of my own money," by hiring Marc Norman, who won an Oscar for 'Shakespeare in Love' to work on the script. The movie cost $98 million and earned a woeful $10 million.
At the time, Harlin was red-hot and coming off the hits 'Die Hard' and 'Cliffhanger:'
It was a good reminder, I think, in a way, that when you start believing in yourself too much, and thinking that you're invincible, that you're a genius, that someone brings you down and says, like, "OK, you're definitely not a genius, and you've had a good run, but you have to be humble and play by the rules."How badly was Harlin's career affected? His latest film, '5 Days of War,' opened on Aug. 19 in only six theaters. Made for a budget of $12 million, it's so far earned a mere $17,376, according to Box Office Mojo.
So is 'Cutthroat Island' really that bad in retrospect? Would it do better now in a post-'Pirates of the Caribbean' era?

Mobile homeless shelter operating in Erie churches
A mobile overnight overflow homeless shelter has reopened in Erie.
The shelter, which rotates among Erie churches, was started in the fall of 2012. It closed in April, with the arrival of warmer weather. But the facility was reestablished this month to once again serve those unable to find a spot during the colder months at one of the seven regular emergency shelters funded by Erie County.

Two years after Molokai's Kanemitsu Bakery was originally fined $90,000 and subsequently ordered to suspend operations due to "numerous health code violations," the iconic bakery has reached a settlement with the state Department of Health to pay $20,000 in fines.
"We expect that Kanemitsu Bakery will comply with all food safety rules and regulations," Health Department Deputy Director of Environmental Health Gary Gill said Friday in a news release. "It is both a legal requirement and a moral responsibility to ensure that food sold to the public is safe, wholesome and uncontaminated."
The Health Department suspended the bakery's food establishment permit in June 2012 when an inspection revealed unsanitary conditions and "serious deficiencies in maintenance and manufacturing practices." The inspection was prompted by an anonymous complaint that insects and foreign substances allegedly were found in bread rolls bought at the bakery.
After a five-month closure, the bakery was allowed to reopen after it made the improvements and passed a health inspection in November. It has been selling its famous "Molokai bread" in Kaunakakai ever since.
The owner of the more-than-75-year-old bakery, George Kanemitsu, told The Maui News on Friday that he was just glad the "back and forth" with the Health Department was over.
"This is good news that they waived most of it (fines), and there's no more threat of closure," Kanemitsu said.
He said that the bakery is slowly getting back on its feet, though it is still recovering from losses during the suspension that at one point threatened to close the business for good.
He said that many of the violations cited in 2012 by health inspectors were "so ridiculous," ranging from uneven floorboards to chipped paint on the walls and lack of hand soap next to the sink.
"Other places might be that way, but this is Molokai," Kanemitsu said in an earlier interview.
Volunteer community members helped Kanemitsu make significant improvements to the facility, patching and painting the walls, repairing the floors and ceiling, cleaning and updating oven equipment.
Kanemitsu said Friday that he's just happy to be making bread again, and estimates that by the end of this year, the bakery will have recovered financially from the costs of the $20,000 fine, legal fees and lost business during the five-month closure two years ago.
When asked if he plans on raising the price of the famous Molokai hot bread - available most nights after 8:30 p.m. - Kanemitsu said no. For now, prices will remain at $7 per loaf with one topping, $8 for up to three toppings and $9 for "the works (all the toppings)."

Waren zu 4 in dem Appartement und es hat voll und ganz ausgereicht! Lage is super,da nur 10 Meter zum nächsten Supermarkt und Ca 200 Meter zum ocean Drive bzw. zum Strand! Schade ist,dass nur in den schlafzimmern Klimaanlagen sind,in Küche und Bad war es brütend heiß!
Die Lage ist hervorragend. Supermärkte direkt um die Ecke. Brandstore shopping in der Collins Ave auch sehr nah. Klasse Sushi-Restaurant um die Ecke. Strand 5 Minuten zu Fuß. Einrichtung der Wohnung recht einfach. Nur zwei kleine Klimaanlagen in den Schlafzimmern, wobei eine schlecht funktionierte. Hatten eine Wohnung zwei Wochen zuvor in der Nähe wo die Kühlung viel besser funktionierte.
Parkplatz wurde auf Anfrage kostenfrei direkt am Haus bereitgestellt. Kommunikation und Schlüsselübergabe sowie Check out mit Emanuele Klasse.
Bu Miami'de bir güzel kalmak oldu. Daire oldukça merkezi ve plaj (yaklaşık 5 dakika yürüme mesafesinde) yakındır. Mağazalar ve süpermarketler de çok hızlı. Daire zemin katta ve sokakta gider Ancak, bu çok yüksek. Bu gibi olmalıdır. Ancak, şehir genellikle çok gürültülü.
Mobilya donanımları ve mutfak ekipmanları (mevcut tabak, çatal, tencere vb) yeterlidir. Daire temiz.
Fiyat-performans oranı hakkıdır.
Es war ein schöner Aufenthalt in Miami. Die Ferienwohnung liegt recht zentral und nah am Strand (ca. 5 Minuten Gehweg). Die Geschäfte und Supermärkte sind auch sehr schnell zu erreichen. Da die Wohnung aber im Erdgeschoss liegt und zur Straße hinausgeht, ist es sehr laut. Das muss man mögen. Die Stadt ist aber allgemein sehr laut.
Die Möbelausstattung und Küchenausstattung ist ausreichend (Geschirr, Besteck, Töpfe etc. vorhanden). Die Wohnung ist sauber.
Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt.
Emanuel is a great Host!
The Appartment was great, too!
Me and my 19-year old daughter rented apartment #6 for one week in February. This was my first rental with Wimdu and I was a little bit nervous about what to expect.
The host, Emanuele, was excellent! Friendly, helpful and responded fast on questions or need for help, both prior and during the stay.
Location, location, location. This apartment is perfectly located on the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and 9th Street in a nice neighbourhood . From here it is only three blocks (5 minutes walk) before you're at the beach. One block away at Washington Ave/9th is the 7/11 or Friends Food market if you need youghurt, water or wine. It is also on Washington Ave/9th that you can jump on/off the airport bus ($2,65 one way) or bus 120 around Miami Beach.
On Washington Ave/12th St is a nice, cosy Starbucks with great Wifi, and the shopping haven Lincoln Street is only 20 minutes walk or appx 10 blocks away (remember, were are quite fast walkers.
The apartment had great Wifi and was located on 2nd floor with living room windows facing 9th street and kitchen/bathroom windows facing the parking lot which I guess was related to the apartments. In the living room was a very comfortable futon bed (sofa), but the aircondition and the street facing windows caused some noisy disturbance.
The bedroom, between the living room and the kitchen/bath room, had a queen bed where my daughter was sleeping. The bed was comfortable, but made some squeaking noise from the bottom of the two madrasses. When the AC in the living room was off, the refridgerator fan was a bit disturbing.
The kitchen had one refridgerator with top freezer, one "electrical" gas stove/oven (good) and a mix of plates and champagne and water glasses, but no wine glasses. :)
Cleanliness 4/5
If you are noise sensitive, this is not the place for you. Otherwise, I strongly recommend this apartment.
Emanuele was indeed the best host I've ever had in Miami. He was waiting for me upon arrival. He was very polite. We had no issues whatsoever and we will be staying there again as soon as we plan the next trip
i stayed with my little girl and my husband one week in this apartment.very well located ,near the beach and ocean drive.big enough and comfortable.the only thing i didn't apreciate was the cleaness.we found it a little bit dirty for our standarts.
but the rest was ok.
Nice little apartment in Miami Beach. 2 minutes walk to the beach and Ocean Drive, 1 minute walk to a supermarket.

Life can get cluttered sometimes.
Between the kids' activities, career, laundry, meals and squeezing in time with her husband, a woman may dream of finding a secluded island or at least a vacation to escape her stresses and cares.
Gwen Smith hopes to help women find their peace in the midst of the strains of everyday life when she speaks at the Ladies Encounter spring event.

(Courtesy photo) Gwen Smith from North Carolina is a singer/songwriter and a co-founder of Girlfriends in God. She will speak and give a mini concert at the Ladies Encounter spring event to be held from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. March 29 at Blair County Convention Center.
It will be held from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. March 29 at the Blair County Convention Center. Doors open at 9 a.m. Tickets to the event are a $25 donation with an additional $15 donation for the luncheon.
Joyce Bassler, chairwoman for Ladies Encounter, said the event offers women a day out and an opportunity to meet people while presenting a speaker whose topics will pertain to the issues of their lives.
Smith, a Christian music artist and speaker, will speak on "Uncluttered."

A wife, mom of three teens and an in-demand woman of ministry, Smith knows life can get hectic. She spends her weeks writing music and attending her two sons' and daughter's sporting events and activities. For 20 weekends a year, she is away from her North Carolina home, ministering on both coasts and everywhere in-between.
Her visit to Altoona will bring her closer to the community where she grew up. Smith is a graduate of Hempfield Area High School near Greensburg.
"We wear so many hats," Smith said of the lifestyles most women lead. "Jesus sifts through it all, so we can focus on him."
"Our true prize is his presence and peace," she said.
Smith, who is one of the co-founders of Girlfriends in God, started ministering to groups through her music 14 years ago.
"I started off doing concerts in 2000," she said, "and began my speaking ministry in 2006."
"It's great," she said of her engagements, adding that she and her husband, Brad, talked about her ministry before she even stepped on a stage.
"It's a win for my family [because she is home during the week], and I get to pursue what God has called me to do," she said.
Not only does she minister at churches and events, she speaks to spiritual needs every day through the social media. Whether you are a Facebook fan, tweet, pin it or can't resist a YouTube video, you can find Smith on all of them.
She said if women want to learn more about her, they can also visit her website: gwensmith.net or her Facebook page: Facebook
As part of Girlfriends in God, along with Sharon Jaynes and Mary Southerland, Smith contributes online devotionals that are read by about one-half million women daily. The women also conduct conferences together, but for Ladies Encounter, Smith will represent herself.
"I will do a mini concert, speak and lead worship. It's a one-stop women's conference," said Smith as she laughed during a telephone interview from her North Carolina home.
"She sings, leads worship and shares the Word," said Denise Miller of Hollidaysburg who heard Smith speak at a conference two years ago at the University of Pittsburgh in Johnstown. "It was a seamless flow from one part to another." Miller said. "She wasn't performing. She drew us into worship and her message was an outpouring of that."
At Ladies Encounter, Smith will share "how God will bring grace, peace and strength to our lives," she said. She referred to Psalm 105:4, where David makes that declaration: "Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always."
A songwriter, who has produced seven CDs, Smith describes her sound as "a blend of contemporary Christian music and worship. It is praise and adoration to the Lord. It's reflective and responsive. It's not one genre. It's loving Jesus music."
Smith said her song "Broken into Beautiful" is one that speaks to listeners. "It's about how the love of God brought us through hard times, tough situations," she said. "It's a touch point. It's my story. It's your story."

The D.T. Fleming Arboretum in Ulupalakua offers community groups an opportunity to "Adopt a Forest" during the island's rainy season November through March.
Youth and community groups plant their forest within the 17-acre Pu'u Mahoe cinder cone. Plots are 1,200 to 1,500 square feet. Foresters return seasonally throughout the year to their forest to weed, work on trails, add new plants and apply mulch, replacing non-native plants with a complete cover of upper-, middle-, lower-story native forest.
The reforestation program supports community participation in the Fleming Arboretum's mission to preserve Hawaiian native plants, forests and wildlife habitat. The program involves youth, school, church and community groups in conservation, promoting volunteerism and care of the land.

By ACC public affairsJanuary 9, 2013
Contracting professionals will begin to converge onto Fort Bliss, Texas, starting Jan. 15 to participate in what military officials are calling the premiere Department of Defense contracting readiness exercise.
For the fourth consecutive year, the Army Contracting Command is conducting a contracting readiness exercise for military and civilian personnel. Formerly called Joint Dawn, the Joint Contracting Readiness Exercise or JCRX-13 will be conducted at Fort Bliss Jan. 15-31.
"We're expanding the scope of this year's training," said Col. Timothy Strange, commander, 412th Contracting Support Brigade, Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, Texas. "Participants can look forward to working on more than 100 contracting actions, not to mention some hard-to-handle injects."
The 412th is the lead organizer for the exercise.
The number of exercise participants has increased each year. In 2010, 34 contingency contracting officers attended the training held at Fort Riley, Kan.; in 2011, training at Fort Campbell, Ky., included 115 participants; and the 2012 training at Fort Bliss had 159 military and civilian trainees. Exercise coordinators expect more than 200 participants at this year's exercise.
"We're anticipating visits from a lot of senior leaders," said Lt. Col. Joshua R. Burris, commander, 905th Contingency Contracting Battalion, and JCRX-13 officer-in-charge.
"We're set up to handle visits from senior DOD and DA officials. Last year, Mr. (Kim) Denver, deputy assistant secretary of the Army (procurement); and Rear Adm. Allie Coetzee, executive director, deputy assistant secretary of the Navy (acquisition and procurement), came by. This year we're planning visits from the Hon. Heidi Shyu, assistant secretary of the Army acquisition, logistics and technology and Army acquisition executive; the Hon. Dr. Sally Matiella, assistant secretary of the Army financial management and comptroller; and Lt. Gen. Patricia McQuistion, deputy commanding general, Army Materiel Command."

You're fine Milty.
This forum is a community, not a club for which you must do x, y and z in order to belong.
You're of course much better off now that you've acquired better eating habits and understand the harm that sugar and grains do, but also understand that in order for them to wreak havoc you must have them constantly. Lowering your intake is going to help even if you never fully eliminate them.
Regarding exercise, you don't HAVE to exercise using the PBF. Honestly speaking, I only downloaded the PBF to give it to a friend. I never once read it (I probably would benefit from doing so, don't get me wrong) but did thumb through it and saw that the exercises do already resemble what I'm doing.
It's not imperative for you to follow the primal blueprint down to the letter, I don't, and I'm still much better off than I was a year ago. So don't stress it.

Remembering Diana
Charles Spencer Talks About His Spirited Sister, the Vow He Made to Her Sons—and What She Would Have Been Like at 40
Four days later, the ninth Earl Spencer took the pulpit at London's Westminster Abbey to deliver a eulogy that was part soaring tribute, part searing battle cry. Before an estimated worldwide audience of more than 1 billion people, Spencer lauded the sister he called "complex" and "radiant." Locking eyes with his nephews, Princes William and Harry, he vowed that "we, your blood family, will do all we can to continue the imaginative and loving way" in which Diana had been rearing them. "I was not trying to make a big impact," he insists. "I was just trying to do justice to my sister."
Intentional or not, his impact could be felt far beyond the historic church's stone walls. Instantly, Spencer had gone from being Diana's kid brother to Diana's bold avenger. He had been silent when the Queen stripped Diana of the title Her Royal Highness after her 1996 divorce from Prince Charles, silent when the royal family all but froze her out in the years prior to her death. Clearly, he would be silent no longer. The speech "was very much the knightly crusade on Diana's behalf," says royals author Robert Lacey.
It is a crusade that Spencer has continued, and one that has cemented his place in the hearts of his sister's admirers. "I often have to fight with taxi drivers to get them to accept my fare," says the usually tight-lipped earl, talking candidly about his lost sister and the trying four years since her death. "They were particularly fond of Diana."
For those who share that fondness, there is Althorp. Once again this summer, Spencer, 37, will unlock the doors to his family's ancestral estate and his sister's final resting place as well as the home of the $4.1 million museum Diana, a Celebration.
This year's opening holds particular resonance, since it will take place on July 1, the day that Diana would have turned 40. The birthday is one the princess would have regarded apprehensively, suspects her brother. "I imagine she would not have been looking forward to being 40. She was always conscious of her age and appearance," he says. "But I can't see her losing that happiness and strength she had achieved." After her painful marriage, he observes, "she had reached the rebirth stage and was ready to move on."
In place of a candle-studded cake there will be candle-lighting pilgrims, all in search of a connection to the icon they knew—and the mother, sister and wife they didn't. For Spencer, the continued outpouring of grief from strangers remains disconcerting. "I find it difficult when people break down in tears," he says. "I resort to a very British defense mechanism and block it out."
That mechanism offered little protection immediately upon his learning that Diana had been killed when the car in which she was riding had crashed in a Paris tunnel. Then living in South Africa with his four children—Kitty, now 10, twins Eliza and Katya Amelia, 8, and Louis, 7—Spencer was awakened just after midnight by a phone call from the estate manager at Althorp. The next morning, he faced his children in tears. "I said, 'I have got some appalling news. I am afraid Aunt Diana has died,' " he recalls. "They had not seen their father crying before and they stood around looking incredibly sad for me." They also tried to help. "At one point after breakfast, I heard a scraping noise. Kitty, who was 6, was dragging a chair across the kitchen floor to stand at the sink in order to try to do the washing up," he says. "Little gestures like that were so thoughtful and charming."
Larger public gestures, such as the floral sea that washed up at the gates of Kensington Palace in the days after Diana's death, were both strange and reassuring. "The night before the funeral I went with my family to Kensington Gardens and wandered around for half an hour," he recalls. "We kept a low profile. It was comforting to see how much people were stunned by [her death]."
Spencer had risen at 4:30 a.m. one morning earlier that week to write his eulogy. "It took me an hour and a half," he says. "It just tumbled out." On the eve of the funeral, he visited his sister's closed coffin in the chapel at St. James's Palace. Though he says that the experience of seeing the body of his father after he died of a heart attack in 1992 "was useful to realize it really is final," he chose not to view Diana's. "She had been so badly injured," he says, "and I wanted to remember her as she was."
Alone in the chapel, he delivered his eulogy to Diana.
When the sun rose next morning, Spencer could hardly have known what he was in for. The chiming of church bells, the cries of supporters along the cortege route, the shuffle of shoes on pavement—all of it still stings. Walking behind Diana's coffin—alongside William and Harry, their father, Prince Charles, and their grandfather Prince Philip—"was the most harrowing experience of my life," he recalls. "There was a clear feeling of high emotion around you of the most sad and confused sort, all hammering in on you. It was a tunnel of grief."
At the time, Spencer says he opposed the Palace's idea that William, then 15, and Harry, almost 13, participate in the somber march. "I genuinely felt that Diana would not have wanted them to have done it," he says. Nonetheless, "I got a message a couple of days before the funeral saying yes, they did want to do it and they would like me there." In the end, William and Harry "did beautifully," says Spencer.
After his speech at the Abbey, the public gave its own approval to Spencer himself, thereby burnishing his previously tarnished image. Nicknamed Champagne Charlie in the mid-'80s by the British press for his partying ways, Spencer's reputation was largely rehabilitated following his display of brotherly valor.
Ironically, the speech was a reversal of the roles Diana and her brother had long filled: she the protector, he the protectee. After the 1967 split of their parents, Johnnie, the eighth Earl Spencer, and Frances Shand Kydd (65 and living a quiet life in Scotland), the two young siblings grew particularly close. "I always looked after my brother really," Diana told biographer Andrew Morton. Their two older sisters—Lady Sarah McCorquodale, now 46, and Lady Jane Fellowes, 44—"were at boarding school when Diana and I were young," recalls Spencer, "so we spent more time together." Describing himself as "quite shy" as a boy, he adds, "it was very important for me to have a big sister with me at school."
Like all sibling relationships, the one shared by Diana and Charles had its ups and downs. Following an argument, "she would always freeze you out for a bit," says Spencer. "But as soon as she was ready to resume normal relations, I was ready." Once Diana became ensconced in royal life, "I was entirely understanding of the fact that she was not used to hearing the word 'no,' " he says. Yet he believes she appreciated his candor. "She was always just Diana to me—she never became the superstar princess. We were the only people, probably," he says, including his parents and sisters, "who treated her as a normal human being."
Although Diana's peripatetic schedule rendered brother-sister visits infrequent, she did carve out time for a stay at Spencer's Cape Town home in March 1997, about five months before her death. (He had moved there in 1996 to distance his family from the British press.) "It was really nice to spend a few days with no intrusion," he recalls of the paparazzi-free visit. "She was in an incredibly positive frame of mind."
Her brother, on the other hand, was then undergoing a particularly messy breakup. Married in 1989 to former British model Victoria Lockwood, 35, after a whirlwind courtship, he had seen their tempestuous romance become frequent tabloid fodder. During the course of their open-court divorce later that year, Lockwood's lawyers painted the earl as a "serial adulterer." Spencer, in turn, claimed that the marriage dissolved as a result of his wife's "mental and physical health," a reference to her struggles with anorexia and alcoholism. Ultimately, the pair agreed to a settlement in which Lockwood received $2.5 million, a sliver of his estimated $131 million fortune.
These days, Spencer says, he and Lockwood are "perfectly civil to each other." Their four children live with their mother in Cape Town and spend their school breaks with their father at Althorp. "They love it here," says Spencer of the 500-year-old home, about 75 miles from London, which the earl inherited upon his father's death. He says he encourages discussion of Diana. "They did go through a phase when someone would blurt out her name and one of them would say, 'Sssh, you will upset Daddy,' " he recalls. "But I would say, 'No, we must talk about it.' "
With its 121 rooms (Spencer principally occupies five), Althorp remains a monument to the British aristocracy. Diana was 13 years old, her brother 10 when they moved to the 10,000-acre estate in 1975. Today, in addition to magnificent oil paintings and stately marble mantelpieces, the house holds the mundane evidence of daily life. In the living room, Spencer's daughters' dollhouse is tucked under a desk and a Who Wants to Be a Millionaire quiz book rests on a side table. Reminders of the past continue to pop up, such as the earl's recent discovery of a schoolbook inscribed, in wobbly writing, "Diana Spencer." "This house is so huge, I suppose that will go on forever," he says.
A short walk from the house, situated on Althorp's Round Oval island, lies Diana's unmarked grave. Spencer marvels at the remarkable quiet that visitors, who are not permitted on the island, observe around the lake. "It has this cathedral-like atmosphere, and people whisper," he says. "I am well aware that people are not just thinking about [Diana] but about their own tragedies and losses. It is very therapeutic." Such was the case when Trevor Rees-Jones, Diana's bodyguard and the sole survivor of the Paris car crash, visited the grave last summer. "We had a long chat and I left him by the lake, sitting by himself," says Spencer, who calls Rees-Jones a "decent man."
Criticism of the Diana museum—once derided as "Dianaland" in the press—has faded of late. "I am not here to idealize her or pump out propaganda on her behalf," says Spencer. "My family and I took the view that after she died, a lot of people would come [to Althorp] anyway, and that we should do something to satisfy the visitors' curiosity and to protect Diana's name and memory." To charges that he is beatifying his sister, he counters, "No one is pretending she was not human, but at the end of the day she did some pretty amazing things in her short life."
Spencer, who pays $700,000 in annual upkeep for Althorp, does not profit from the $15-per-person admission fee; the money goes instead to the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund, to which Spencer has donated $1.2 million. Visitors (most of whom hail from Great Britain) can see home movies of the princess, the leather-bound diary she kept as a teenager, and the ivory silk taffeta gown she wore for her wedding, nearly 20 years ago in 1981, to Prince Charles. The dress evokes Spencer's memory of seeing Diana as a bride. "That was the first time I realized I had a beautiful sister," he recalls. He dismisses accounts that she was having second thoughts on her wedding day. "The one thing about Diana is that you could see everything in her face," he says. "She was not very good at faking—and she was genuinely happy that day."
As for the memorial fund, which Spencer had criticized in the past for inappropriate licensing, he says he is now "totally satisfied" with the way it is being run. "In the beginning it was an organization that effectively had [$140 million] dumped at its doorstep, so it was chaotic," says former board member Vivienne Parry, a writer and broadcaster. "Now it has settled down and is giving away money in an effective way. And Earl Spencer can see that." So far, the fund, which is headed by Spencer's sister Sarah, has taken in a total of $150 million in donations, $63 million of which has been pledged to 250 different charities worldwide. Among them: numerous children's hospices and land-mine victims' groups—causes that Diana had championed.
Just as Spencer's view of the fund has mellowed, so has his demeanor, revealing a marked difference from the fiery attitude he displayed at Diana's funeral. His once rocky love life has assumed a quiet course since early 1999, when he began dating former elementary-school teacher Caroline Freud, a divorced mother of two. A onetime TV news journalist—he worked as a correspondent for the Today show from 1986 to 1991—the Oxford-educated Spencer has devoted much of his energy to writing two well-received books, one on Althorp and one on his family's history. He also writes book reviews and articles for several British magazines. "I like the variety in my life," he says.
While his relationship with Prince Charles and the rest of the senior royals remains distant, Spencer sees his nephews, William, who turns 19 on June 21, and Harry, 16, several times a year. Like them, he attended Eton College, where he recently accompanied Harry to a school sporting match. An enthusiastic tennis and cricket player, he shares the young princes' athleticism, along with several of their physical traits—namely, William's stature (at 6'4", Spencer is some two inches taller than Will) and Harry's sandy-red hair. In recent years, "the press have been pretty good about the boys on the whole and have given them space to develop," allows Spencer, who acknowledges that his vow to the princes seems less urgent now than it did then. "[They] both know that they can ask me or anyone else in the family anything, and we would do it for them," he says. "Having said that, it was a vow made to two boys, and they are two young men now."
Though in large part Spencer, too, has moved on, he admits there are times when his grief will catch him off-guard. "Diana had a wonderful sense of humor," he says, "and there are times when I think, 'I must call up Diana and tell her that.' And then I get that sinking feeling when I realize that is not possible."
As is the case with anyone whose life is extinguished so prematurely, the what-ifs of Diana's stolen future continue to linger. Would she have married boyfriend Dodi Fayed, also killed in the crash? Spencer doubts it, as she had never mentioned such a scenario to him. In general, he is loath to speculate beyond the obvious: Had Diana lived, she would still be promoting her causes and, most important, savoring the successes of her grown boys. "She would have been incredibly proud of her sons," he says. He is also certain that, at 40, Diana would have continued her reign as the globe's most famous, followed, fascinating woman. "The sheer pleasure of seeing her face lighting up the front of a magazine made the world a more interesting place," says her brother. "Certainly it has been a lot grayer without her."

In Reply.—Dr Goodlin is puzzled about the differing outcomes of the various analyses of the CPS data. Our placing the various disorders that cause birth asphyxia into a single category and grouping other risk factors into consolidated categories made it possible to identify the origin of a much higher percentage of CP cases than was possible in previous studies of the CPS data. Previous analyses isolated the origin of very few CP cases in explanatory models because the CPS had too few children in single category classifications to identify associations between most individual risk factors and CP. Most previous CPS investigators also used Apgar scores to identify asphyxiated neonates. Our study found that this use of Apgar scores misattributes to asphyxia many cases of CP that have a developmental origin.
Dr Goodlin suggested that some infants who died in the CPS as the result of birth asphyxia would have survived with

I'D like to thank Dan Geringer and the Daily News for the moving piece about 7-year-old David Atkins and St. Martin de Porres Interparochial School.
In light of the tragic murder of David's father, the school has gone above and beyond in helping his family rebuild their lives.
The support provided by the school and its member parishes illustrates the critical role that Catholic schools play in our neighborhoods. While the primary focus is on education, we can't discount the importance of the lessons in human compassion that are ever-present in these schools.

Jeremy Tyler, a 6' 11" high school junior in San Diego, Calif., plans to earn his high school diploma online and move to Europe to play professional basketball, according to a report in The New York Times.
The report said Tyler, 17, would be the first United States-born player to leave high school early to play professionally overseas. He is expected to come back to the U.S. in two years, when he is projected to be a top pick, or even the No. 1 pick, in the 2011 N.B.A. draft. Tyler had orally committed to play college basketball at the University of Louisville.

I'm beet
The difference between fresh produce and canned can turn a vegetable hater into a lover. I know. For years I wouldn't touch beets. Or sweet potatoes. My experience with both came from the canned kind served at grade school.
And, to borrow from grade-school parlance, they were disgustin'. Texture, taste, everything about them. Being a grown-up means I could avoid them altogether, or I could choose to explore the flavors.
I'm an explorer.
Sweet potatoes came first. Now I serve them baked, mashed, oven-baked as fries with chipotle seasoning -- pretty much any way except with marshmallows on top.
They gave me the confidence to tackle beets. Actually, a salad with oven-roasted beets and goat cheese served in a restaurant gave me the courage. If I was willing to pay for it, then I should make it. Beets are relatively simple, like sweet potatoes, to turn from disgusting to delicious. Just roast them (wrapped in foil, anywhere from an hour to 90 minutes in a 400-degree oven).
Beets and I have been simpatico for the past two years. So when I grabbed two bunches (one gold, one red) with my sister-in-law at the farmers market on Long Island, I knew just what to do. We roasted them in the oven that night, cutting off the top greens, but not cutting into the beet, and leaving the root on. Once roasted and cooled, we used a paper towel to rub off the skin, which also took the root off and what remained of the leaves' stump. Then they went into a plastic bag and the fridge overnight.
The next day, we served them sliced on a platter with alternating rows of tomatoes and sweet onions, the whole plate drizzled with olive oil, a sprinkling of salt and a generous crumble of feta cheese. (Buy the good kind in a brine -- Bulgarian is my sister-in-law's preference.)
The remaining beets I just whirred in a food processor and made into ravioli. I didn't have any fancy equipment, just a rolling pin. If you don't want to make ravioli, this would be an impressive lasagna with the red noodles, ricotta mixed with chopped spinach or arugula, a bechamel sauce and a fresh tomato sauce.
We didn't tell the kids the ravioli were made with beets, just that they were "Pinkalicious" ravioli.
It doesn't hurt to play games with the kids, especially if it's kick the can.
From the garden/farm
Tomatoes are beginning their August bounty, along with corn. Summer squash and blueberries are beginning to be less of a presence, although in the case of zucchini it may be because your garden has a blight. Some early watermelons are being picked. Look for delicious local ripe black plums, peaches and raspberries to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Look! Pothole Gardens
Pothole Gardens are an ongoing series Dungey's been working on to highlight the imperfections of Britain's roads. If you were to try this yourself there certainly would be some logistical concerns like dodging traffic to water, replacing smashed flowers, breaking the law, etc... maybe it is best just to be inspired by Mr. Dungey's work. via: Inhabitat (Images: Pete Dungey)

Carson Valley Middle School's physical education department organized an evening basketball game between CVMS Staff and Pau-Wa-Lu Middle School staff to raise money for healthy hearts.
The March 1 event served as a fundraiser for the American Heart Association.
"What an exciting night and amazing turnout," said CVMS instructor Janae Ballingham. "We raised $435 to support the American Heart Association and in the process brought the community together in a fun way. The P.E. department at Pau-Wa-Lu rallied the troops to play and gathered a team consisting of staff members. After the national anthem was sung by a CVMS teacher, Ginny Thomas, the game began."
The match consisted of two 20-minute halves, refereed by Anthony Davis and Scott Compton of Douglas County Parks and Recreation. The clock and tables were run by ninth-grade students.
"Community businesses stepped in to support the event by providing prizes to give away just for attending," said Ballingham.
Participating businesses and organizations included Port O' Subs, Round Table Pizza, Pizza Barn, Saletti's, Lentine's, Carson Valley Inn, Pulse Fitness, Crossfit Carson Valley Bootcamp, Crossfit Carson Valley Kids, Anytime Fitness, and Carson Valley Swim Center, among others.
"We had other prizes that included family recreational games: dart boards, ski ball, etc.," said Ballingham. "Half time events included free throw contests between PWL and CVMS students."
The game remained close in score, but CVMS ended up winning 42 to 35.
"Regardless of the score, we are excited to promote fitness, fun, and support the American Heart Association at the same, but owe its success to our amazing community," said Ballingham

Prideful in the vein of "Maui No Ka Oi," Valley Isle residents can be disdainful of that island up north. They scoff at Oahu's traffic, crowds and concrete jungles.
Those planning Hawaii's future power system believe Oahu might have something to offer Mauians other than business, shopping and a big city getaway - cheaper power and a more stable power grid.
The Public Utilities Commission has launched a study of the feasibility of a Maui-to-Oahu power interconnection. Plans call for laying a high-voltage cable 112 miles long and as much as 2,100 feet deep. Cost estimates for such a project have ranged from $600 million to $1 billion.

The commission has taken a neutral position on the proposal while its investigative proceeding to solicit information and public comments is underway.
If the commission decides the undersea power cable is in the public interest and the project advances, Maui and Oahu power consumers stand to benefit from a symbiotic relationship, according to Eric Gleason, president of NextEra Energy.
"What this is about is fundamentally helping Hawaii lessen its addiction on imported oil, and in the process, saving money, improving reliability and improving the environment," Gleason said in an interview at The Maui News earlier this month. "The advantage of connecting the islands is (that) by having an interconnected grid you can share the most efficient resources, and you can improve reliability because each island can support the other island when needed."
The Maui-Oahu power grid interconnect could be the first step toward integrating the Big Island's power grid and its access to geothermal power, Gleason said.
"It's creating a modern, integrated grid for Hawaii," he said.
With its burgeoning wind and solar power alternatives, Maui could play a key role, he said.
"Maui potentially has much more and lower cost renewable resources than Oahu, but Oahu has today lower cost, more efficient fossil resources than Maui," Gleason said. "By linking the two systems, Maui gets the benefit of the efficient fossil resource on Oahu, and Oahu gets the benefit of lower cost renewable resource on Maui."
Valley Isle residents could see power bills drop, on average, from $100 to $170 per year over 40 years if the power transmission cable were built, he said.
"Regardless of the scenario, regardless of what kind of generation is added to the system, Maui customer bills would go down," beginning in the first year of operation, Gleason predicted.
According to NextEra's planning for the project, the undersea transmission cable could come on line as early as 2020.
NextEra, a company headquartered in Juno Beach, Fla., is one of two potential cable developers granted intervener status as part of the PUC's investigative proceedings. The other is Hawaii Interisland Cable, a joint venture of Pattern Energy Group and Bio-Logical Capital LLC.
Hawaii Interisland Cable is proposing to develop a high-voltage, direct current converter and transmission system between Maui and Oahu, company official David Parquet said.
Such a system would be similar to Pattern Energy's submarine Trans Bay Cable project in Northern California, he said. That development came on line in 2010.
"The Maui-Oahu high-voltage direct current system would contribute significantly to Hawaii's sustainability by allowing the state to harness its abundant renewable energy resources and lower electric costs for ratepayers on Maui, Oahu and other islands," Parquet said.
Based on a preliminary proposed route, NextEra's plans call for a building a $600 million undersea cable that would come ashore at Maalaea Bay and Honolulu Harbor. The company would build a 2- to 2.5-story, 25,000-square-foot converter station near the Maalaea power plant, and using horizontal directional drilling, a cable would be drilled under the reef and go about a mile away from shore where it would rest on the bottom of the ocean, Gleason said.
According to NextEra, its preferred locations for a converter station on Maui are outside the tsunami inundation zone.
"For added protection from a tsunami threat, we will also consider further elevating the converter station site or moving further inland," the company said.
Parquet said Hawaii Interisland Cable's route for its planned cable "would be determined by Hawaii's needs after consideration of many factors, including permitting, grid interconnection details and other requirements."
"That said, the Iwilei substation and Koolau substation (on Oahu) as well as the Maalaea substation (on Maui) have received some level of analysis by stakeholders," he said.
Gleason distinguished NextEra's plans for an undersea power cable that would allow electricity to flow in both directions from the "Big Wind" projects proposed for Lanai and Molokai.
"Not all underwater cable projects are created equal," he said. "What you're talking about the Big Wind submarine cable project is what we call a gen tie, a generation tie - a tied-in generation resource from one island, Lanai or Molokai, to another, Oahu, and the power flows in one direction. What we're talking about is a grid tie, which allows the power to flow in either direction depending on whatever's most economic for the whole system and whatever will best improve reliability for the combined system."
Technology available today doesn't make it cost effective to have an electric system that is 100 percent dependent on renewable sources of power, Gleason said.
"So you need some combination of fossil resources, which can be dispatched and operate when you need them, together with renewable resources that are intermittent," he said.
Now, with more efficient power generation available on Oahu, customers there pay approximately 5 cents less per kilowatt hour than Maui residents, he said.
NextEra's director of Hawaii state affairs is former Wailuku resident Kay Fukunaga, a 2001 graduate of St. Anthony Junior-Senior High School. She earned her bachelor's degree from Dartmouth College in 2005 and her master's of business administration degree from Harvard Business School in 2010.
"This is a wonderful project, a unique opportunity to really transform Hawaii's energy system," she said. "I'm very proud to be working for NextEra Energy. This is a company that's really a leader in its field, with a world-class team."
