General Electric (GE +1.1%) says it won a contract to build 233 diesel locomotives for South Africa's state-owned Transnet rail company over three and a half years for 7.1B rand ($660M), part of a $4.7B commitment to buy more than 1,000 locomotives from various manufacturers as part of sweeping infrastructure upgrades.
Ge says the core parts of the locomotives including the engines will be made in the U.S. and the machines will be assembled at a facility in South Africa.
China's CSR Zhuzhou Electric and a local subsidiary of Canada's Bombardier (BDRBF) will split most of the rest of the order to build ~600 electric locomotives.

Repsol (OTCQX:REPYY) is reportedly looking to acquire North American energy assets in the $5B-$10B range. Given the problems the company has had with its other assets overseas especially in Argentina, and the explosion in North American energy production over the last six years, this makes logical sense. So which of the smaller to midsized E & P concerns would make logical acquisition targets? Here are two targets that make sense to me. Both companies are showing good production growth, are within Repsol's stated price range and sport solid valuations even without a possible "buyout" kicker.
Whiting Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:WLL) is an independent energy concern producing oil and gas primarily in the Permian Basin, Rocky Mountains, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast, and Michigan regions of the United States. I wrote that this E & P concern would make sense as an acquisition target back in November of last year. Although this has not occurred yet, the stock is up $10 a share to $54 since the article.
The company continues to grow production nicely with revenue growth tracking to nearly a 20% gain this fiscal year. The shares go for less than 13x forward earnings, a discount to its five year average (15.7). The company has easily beat bottom line estimates each of the last three quarters and consensus earnings estimates for both FY2013 & FY2014 have risen better than 10% over the last two months.
The company has an enterprise value of ~$8.5B which is near the top end of Repsol's desired acquisition range especially with a decent buyout premium. The mean price target of the 31 analysts that cover the stock is just under $64 a share. Option activity in the shares has also escalated substantially in the last few days.
Kodiak Oil & Gas (NYSE:KOG) is an independent energy company whose primarily assets and production coming from the Bakken shale which is rapidly growing to providing almost 1mm barrels a day of oil production within the region. The company has an enterprise value just north of $4B and with a 20% to 30% buyout premium would be squared within Repsol's acquisition budget.
More importantly, the company is impressively raising production. Revenues are tracking to more than doubling in 2013 and analysts project sale increases of ~45% in FY2014. The stock sports a minuscule five year projected PEG (.34). Given production growth, the stock seems undervalued at just more than 11x forward projected earnings. Operating cash flow has exploded over the past few years. It has moved from just over $10mm in FY2010 to over to $50mm to almost $400mm during the prior twelve months.
Disclosure: I am long WLL. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

The NCAA tournament is generally billed as an opportunity for star players to rise to the occasion and lead their respective teams to glory.
While star power is extremely important in the tournament, it's also vital for a team to get good production from its role players if it's going to make a run to the Final Four.
Many tournament games are decided by a few key plays that can mean the difference between bowing out in the second round or putting together a four or five-game winning streak.
Players like Brian Zoubek, Korie Lucious and Joe Mazzulla were all role players for their respective teams last season, but their inspired play in the tournament helped carry Duke, Michigan State and West Virginia to the Final Four.
Whether it was Mazzulla's 17-point effort against Kentucky in the Elite Eight, Korie Lucious stepping in for an injured Kalin Lucas or the relentless rebounding of Brian Zoubek, all three players helped support the stars on their teams and became vital pieces on three of the Final Four teams.
At this point in the college basketball season, I think it's safe to say that we've identified who the best players in the nation are. With good reason, guys like Jared Sullinger, Nolan Smith, Jimmer Fredette and Kemba Walker (just to name a few) have been talked about for months now.
But instead of belaboring the point and continuing to shower praise upon some of the nation's best, let's give a little love to the role players out there who could potentially turn the tide for their respective teams much like Zoubek, Lucious and Mazzulla did just a year ago.
Generally speaking, the top four seeds in any region are the best bets to make the Final Four.
So I've chosen to highlight one role player from every top-four seed in this year's bracket who just might take that crucial charge, dive on that loose ball, block that shot or have the game of his life that propels a team to the Final Four or beyond.

"Tipping is not just a city in China," many in the hospitality industry, like bartenders, are quick to proclaim. But a recent vacation demonstrated it's no longer a gratuity either.
At resort I signed up for a deep tissue massage on day one – what better way to begin unwinding? I met the concierge, scheduled a spa time and she promptly asked me for a credit card, ran up the bill and presented it to me: a $29 "gratuity" was "conveniently" placed on the bill for me; there was no option to remove it. First world problem? Maybe.
"Seems a little out of order to include a gratuity before the service is provided," I said with a half-statement and half-question surprise.
"That's just the way we have always done it," replied the concierge.
"Well, I just think that's dirty," I was thinking to myself. But I didn't argue; after all I came here to decompress, not get all riled up.
Hyatt surprised me again later at the end of my stay with a $20 "service fee" for the "facilities" for every day I spent at the resort – in addition to tourism taxes, and of course, the cost of the room. While not a "gratuity" per se, it's amazingly similar to the baggage fees the airlines charge and it's a hidden cost, much like a gratuity inconveniently added to a bill before a service is provided. Over the course of this vacation that this practices wasn't unusual – it was the norm.
Restaurants were adding "gratuity" to bills for just one or two people, where I've seen it common place for large parties, but not for single patrons. For example, a bar in Miami's airport presented me with a bill for a single glass of wine, which I took the liberty of sipping while American Airlines continued to annoyingly drip, drip, drip out delays in increments of 10 and 20 minutes (the plane wound up with a 5 hour delay; definitely not the "on-time machine").
The "gratuity" was $1.44, which with taxes, brought the bill to $10.08. That's 18% more than the menu price right off the bat and since it's not optional, I think the restaurant should have to account for this as revenue – and raise the wage they pay to workers. If any serious consideration were given to this idea, rest assured, the bean counters would pause and mull over their pricing strategies alongside their tax advice.
Seems to me we are entering new era of what I'm calling "corporate taxation" – only it's not the government taking a larger and larger slice of profits from businesses, its businesses padding their income streams. What seems to fit a budget, really doesn't when bill comes around.
What bothers me the most about this is the surreptitious manner in which these corporations levy their self-styled taxes: there's no mention of these charges when they are making the initial sale (or it's in ridiculously tiny print, like those user agreements we all click "I agree" to), but rather the consumer is only made aware at the end of the stay, visit, or in some cases, the drink.
What's the customer to do? We drank the wine; we can't exactly give it back, although this post might make a few want to try.
In a digital age where social media praises companies for transparency, and chides them for disingenuous behavior, businesses are getting slicker and slimier in how they make money. I'm a capitalist for sure – a student of Adam Smith – but I like my deals to be fair and square: you don't win hearts, minds or loyalty by sneaking in hidden charges. You don't add value with hidden charges, you just turn people off. Moreover, in this day and age, of user generated content, good service is good marketing. It represents an opportunity for any given company to differentiate itself. Think: bags fly free at Southwest.
This is a rare case where I'd actually support government regulation: a consumer bill of rights. It should set forth fundamental principles with simple elegancy and binds all companies to be transparent with their pricing.
For the service industry, tipping has long been a way to pass along the cost of human resources to the consumer. If the system were left alone, it might work: good service equates to a good tip, at least in theory. Having held many a service positions as a teenager growing up, I remember full well that the theory doesn't always pan out – but that's not an excuse for businesses to coerce gratuities – because it tends to come out the other way too: sometimes a happy customer overcompensates.
All said, maybe Tipping is just a city in China. More and more, it's certainly nothing even close to representing transparency. But for those companies that aim for transparency, it's a clear marketing opportunity.

Why companies are more prone to social media crisis
I understand Frank. I get a wee bit fired up when the word gratuity is thrown around :-). Enjoy your day.
I have worked in the industry and have been burned SEVERAL times. Foreigners who claim "they don't know, that's not how it's done in their country," business men and women who clearly make triple what I make and people ordering drinks that aren't in their means and take it out on tipping (me).
It's been the standard that you leave 25-20% for exemplary service, 18-15% if you were satisfied, 10% and below if your server sucked our you a cheap ass-hole. I've noticed tips declining since the recession, if you don't have money to tip, eat a frozen pizza on your couch.
Hidden fees I'm not down with, 18% gratuity, absolutely. Serving people isn't always a picnic and it's even more degrading when you're treated poorly and tipped in the same fashion. I feel everybody should work in the service industry for at least six months and then maybe we wouldn't have to add gratuity because everyone would learn some fucking humility. I'm out (microphone drop). #tipyourserver
Frank - I find practices like this to be counter productive. Traditionally, tipping has been in return for exemplary service. If the service provider, and the establishment, collect their tips up front what is the incentive to do a good job?
More and more businesses are taking advantage of their most precious resource...their customers. The only thing that will get them to behave more responsibly would be a revolt by the customers. Same as in the airline industry. Carry on baggage fees? $7 to use a crummy blanket? Really!

Black people in America cope with everything from daily race-based micro-aggressions to police officers killing us with impunity. These realities lead some young people to seek schools that do not hyper-police blackness or seek to eliminate black people altogether — environments that normalize the African Diaspora. So, it isn't surprising that several HBCUs are reporting freshmen enrollment surges. Even students who started their educational journeys in other environments, like predominantly white institutions (PWIs), are transferring to HBCUs too. But, the question remains: will attending HBCUs to escape persecution at PWIs do enough to protect students from other forms of exclusion and oppression?

Solar-Nano-Grids (SONGs): Energy for Development
News & Blogs
- Both Kenya and Bangladesh due to their proximity to the equator receive plenty of sunshineWhy small-scale community renewable projects are as valuable as large scale projects. This question camePower to the People: Solar energy for Off-grid Communities in Kenya 75% of the Kenyan population have no electricity. That means that in order to get much needed energy, they
What Are Solar Nano Grids?
Solar Nano Grids (SONGs) provide clean, reliable and affordable electricity to small off-grid communities. Currently communities often rely on potentially harmful kerosene and/or diesel to generate power.Our SONGs (usually between 1-10kW) provide an affordable alternative to meet both household (for things like lights, mobile phone charging, radio) and commercial (such as corn mills and egg incubators) needs.
Our Solar Nano Grids (or SONGs) are clean, renewable, and are designed to improve food security, reduce indoor air pollution, raise productivity of natural resources, and enhance conservation landscapes by reducing exploitation of natural resources.
The great advantage of SONGs over other (usually household-focussed) programmes is that they don't solely focus on the individual, but also bring additional collective community benefits. Our research and development has introduced additional collective community benefits, not available from other programmes, including the establishment of village energy committees, and the implementation of training programmes for the better management of the systems over their lifetime.
By providing clean energy this way, we can improve quality of life, empower women, improve health, increase children's educational attainment, and boost the local economy.
Research Programme – Assessing SONGs as an appropriate solution for meeting community needs
The SONG project is based on solid research, sustainable goals, and extensive community consultation, not to mention robust track record within the team. We make sure that we understand the needs of the people this initiative is designed to benefit in order to ensure long-term sustainable improvements to wellbeing can be achieved.
The initial research programme is a collaboration between INTASAVE Energy, Loughborough University, United International University Bangladesh and the University of Oxford. Funded by the UK's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, the aims of the SONG project are to:
- Evaluate the potential of Solar Nano Grids from social, technical and economic points of view as a more effective means to bring electricity to different types of rural communities than has been possible with SHS implementations;
- Develop, implement and evaluate community nano-grids to overcome the limitations of SHS identified through empirical research in a variety of contexts in Kenya and Bangladesh;
- Develop effective business models for scaling up, by taking into consideration country-specific contexts. Prototypes for the enhancement of readily available components are being developed in laboratories where some of the most cutting edge technology in the world is developed - Oxford University, Loughborough University and Nottingham University.
What's the Difference Between Nano and Micro Grids?
In the world of solar and solar photovoltaic (PV) based systems, the terms 'mini-grid' and 'micro-grid' are well known for stand-alone power generation. Although the terms tend to represent the actual size of the system, there is no universally agreed definition for them. Usually 'mini-grids' refer to a size between 50kW to less than 1MW and micro-grids between 5kW to 50kW.

Governor's Highway Safety Office Launches Cumberland Crackdown
Law enforcement agencies across the Cumberland Region including the DeKalb County Sheriff's Department are working together to save lives on Tennessee roadways. The Governor's Highway Safety Office will join 88 agencies from 28 counties to kick off the Cumberland Crackdown at noon, Wednesday, December 30.
The Crackdown will be one of the largest enforcement events in Tennessee. Law enforcement agencies will be focusing their efforts on some of the deadliest highways in their jurisdiction including Highway 70 in DeKalb County. These highways were identified by the Department of Safety using data from the present all the way back to 1994. Agencies will conduct sobriety checkpoints and saturation points along these roadways from 8:00 a.m., Wednesday, December 30th until 3:00 a.m., Thursday, December 31st
"We are able to use a more proactive approach to enforcement this holiday season by using data provided to us by the Department of Safety," stated Governor's Highway Safety Office (GHSO) Liaison Clint Shrum. "Having the ability to determine the areas that are the most dangerous allows agencies to appropriate the right resources to ensure highway safety. Because of this approach the Cumberland Region is experiencing a noticeable decrease in highway fatalities this year."
Director Kendell Poole, GHSO, added, "This time of year can be one of the happiest for families as they get together and make new memories. However, those happy moments can be stolen away in seconds because the holiday season is one of the deadliest and most dangerous. Enforcement will make a difference."
The Governor's Highway Safety Office reminds all Tennessee drivers to stay safe throughout the holiday season and buckle up, watch your speed and designate a sober driver when taking part in holiday festivities.
Meanwhile, the Tennessee Highway Patrol will be conducting sobriety roadside safety
checkpoints during the week of December 31 on State Route 53 and 56 in DeKalb County.
Impaired driving is a serious crime that kills more than 16,000 people and injures 305,000 others every year in the United States. Troopers will evaluate drivers for signs of alcohol or drug impairment. Troopers will target those who operate a vehicle while impaired and take corrective actions for other violations observed while ensuring the protection of all motorists.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol recognizes that sobriety checkpoints are highly visible and effective tools in the battle against impaired driving.

Location was close to the beach and a few grocery stores . The lanai was nice and big with a peekaboo view of the ocean . Property owner was great to deal with and super accommodating . Would choose this place again when we come back to Maui !
My husband and I enjoyed our stay. Very pretty condo and is only 150 yards from the Montage hotel. The only negative is that it is a lower unit. You have to walk down a flight of stairs to get to this unit. I have Multiple Sclerosis and have trouble walking....I found the stairs a bit challenging especially when wet from the rain. I wish stairs were mentioned in the notes ...Other than that it is a lovely condo.
Clean upgraded unit. It's always a gamble when booking via vrbo but we were pleasantly surprised - the pictures didn't do it justice! Stefane the owner and manager was great and quick to respond to any questions or issues we had. The bathroom was slippery as mentioned in a review above but easily solved with a spa mat bought from Costco. Great lanai with a patch of grass out front which is handy when you have an active 2 year old. We look forward to staying here again on our next visit.
I recently returned from a wonderful vacation at the Kapalua Bay Villas with my husband and 16 month old. I'm so happy that we selected this particular unit. The view was even more beautiful than the photos. Since the unit is set back from the ocean, it was mostly protected from the sporadically intense trade winds. I have been to the island many times and I have to say the this area is now by far my favorite due to the lush vegetation and peaceful beaches; a nice escape north of bustling Lahaina and Kaanapali. The area is extremely walk-able with pedestrian paths leading to restaurants and beaches. We did daily walks with the stroller in tow to Kapalua Bay in front of the Montage, Napili Bay, and the Ritz.
As a self-proclaimed neat freak, this unit is impeccably clean with no obvious signs of aging or damage since it was recently remodeled in 2011. It has a small but efficient kitchen, with all-new clean stainless steel appliances. The cabinets were well stocked with everything you may need from mixing bowls to a blender. The lanai was spacious with just the right amount of shade. The bedroom was a little dark with no view, which was actually good for our daughter's naptime. The shower & bathroom is spacious but not baby friendly at all. Shower is not enclosed, has a small step and gets extremely slippery when wet. I'm assuming this is the case for all of the Bay Villas with the same layout.
Unfortunately, my phone had no cell service here (AT&T) so the wifi was a saving grace. Unlike other reviewers, we did not have any issues with the internet. Stéphane was a gracious host and very attentive. For example, we had an issue with the air conditioning (human error!) and he promptly came over to fix it for us within the hour. I highly recommend this location to anyone, including my friends & family.

Reviewer Comments:
We had a wonderful, restful and relaxing week at Kapalua Bay Villas. The unit was recently and nicely redecorated with a new, well equipped kitchen and a wonderful view from the lanai, living/dining room and kitchen. The bedroom had no view other than a walkway and small dark lanai so if you want a view from your bedroom look for another unit.Dining out in the area is expensive so we enjoyed many meals at the condo with a fabulous view. The pool and BBQ area is a short walk from this condo. We had some trouble initally with the internet access and the TV remote but a couple of brief tutorials from the onsite internet specialists and we were good to go. Food shopping tip..shop at the local Naplili Market just a mile or so away. Much better prices than Safeway and some very good fresh local fish. Would we stay at this unit again…. absolutely. If I could find a unit as nicely appointed with a bedroom that had I view I would chose that but I would definitely look at Aloha Vacation Villas at Kapalua Bay.

Chinas 1911 Revolution Many aspects of Chinas history attributed to Chinas revolution in 1911 These aspects were both long term and short term Chinas 1911 revolution was somewhat different from those in other countries in that the factors leading up to it were not mainly short termthey were part of Chinas long term and inbred culture It was because of these established roots and ideas that the 1911 revolution did not completely succeed in changing the outlook of many people in China and is often seen in accordance with the effects of the communist revolution in 1949 and then again with the Cultural revolution of the 1960s Generally there is not one source that makes a revolution transpire Chinas 1911 revolution was no different in that the reasons that it happened were numerous Both short term and many long term situations in China mixed together to make a lethal combination of simmering restless and frustrating problems Taxation in China was a big predicament As uprisings sprung up all over the country the government had to increase taxes to suppress these rebellions But because of corruption on a grand-scale within the government half the money never reached anywhere other that officials pockets So the taxes were further increased Then because of indemnity payments to other powers the taxes were increased again and because the customs tax couldnt be increased fixed tax they had to be increased again As the tried to undertake reform programmes the taxes were increased again All this on an already starving and miserable population Foreign trade upset the natural balance of the economy because the foreign made goods were often cheaper than Chinese made products This lead to a decline in Chinese industry and a debasement of the Chinese currency The exhausting corruption which soured the lower levels of government and the way top positions in the government were monopolised ruthlessly added the peoples general tiredness of the way

Elizabethan Musicians - Elizabethan Musical Instruments
Music played an important
role in the lives of the people who lived during the
Elizabethan era. Elizabethan Music was a major form of
entertainment. The collection of Elizabethan musical
instruments included the musical instruments from the
Medieval period together with the musical instruments which
emerged during the Elizabethan era. The introduction of new
musical instruments such as the early violin called the
viol, the early oboe called the hautboy and the keyboard
musical instruments called the spinet, harpsichord and the
virginals provided the sounds which produced a much more
refined sound than had been produced during the Medieval
The virginals was a keyboard instrument similar to a
harpsichord. Combinations of musical instruments, as in the
modern orchestra, were still in the experimental stage but
provided the opportunity to create unusual and creative
music. Queen Elizabeth was a patron of all the Arts
and encouraged Elizabethan Musicians. Music
and Song lyrics were printed during the Elizabethan era but
these were sold as separate documents. The Elizabethan
composer John Dowland (1563-1626), a University Graduate in
Music, published his ' First Booke of Songes or Ayres'
in 1597. It became a best seller and highly profitable to
the Publisher. Other popular Musicians followed suit.

About this project
The market's very first affordable, high-quality 3D printer… available in August from $99 with your help!
True low cost 3D and exceptional quality 3D printers are not yet shipping. Yet the demand is there as the Kickstarter community has shown—and from the increasing number of people creating cool things with 3D printing.
We created the MOTA 3D Printer to deliver high performance at a price low enough for almost anyone to own one. We're ready to start shipping in August, if we get the backing to get it into high-volume production.
Risks and challenges
.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
We gave it a lot of thought and compared generic/bulk filaments. We determined the following problems with the Generic Filaments:
1) Generic/Bulk filaments, commonly known as spools, gets unravel and messy, even tangled.
2) They are difficult for user to install
3) They do not send status of the filament to the printer
4) Depending on the quality of the filament itself it can severely damage the printer head
We wanted to make something neat and futuristic so users don't have to deal with messy wires all around the room and it's easily changeable by the end-user and the generic/bulk filaments did not meet the quality or functions needed so we created MOTA Filaments with these features:
1) The filament cartridge has a built-in chip that communicates with the printer on the status and functions.
2) The cartridge bank in the back of the printer requires certain alignment for support
3) High quality; As with regular document printers, lower quality cartridges filaments can reduce the life or damage the print heads.
4) As an option, a switch would allow change of filaments on the spot while the printer is printing
One filament will be provided with all the 3D Printer purchases. For an additional filaments you can add $30 for each color or pre-order http://www.mota.com/3d-printer/, and assuming funding goes through, will be available at a very competitive price shortly after Kickstarter on major online stores such as Amazon.com , and expected to be widely available in retails stores.
Absolutely; that was the main factor in designing the filament. You can easily remove and replace the filaments and we will have instruction video and easy-to-use manual once funding is completed

General Motors issued a recall for more than a half million Chevrolet Camaros on Friday morning because of an ignition-switch safety hazard that mirrors the one at the center of the company's current crisis.

The recall madness over at General Motors isn't letting up anytime soon, as evidenced by this latest call-back of 8,208 Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans. For those keeping track, this is the fifth recall that GM has announced in the past two weeks, not to mention the massive ignition-switch issue from earlier this year.

Less than a week after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration had questioned the adequacy of a General Motors recall from 2009 on the Pontiac G6, saying it might have needed to be much broader, it is putting the automaker under the microscope again for another potential recall issue. This time around, NHTSA is investigating whether GM did enough in a recent recall of eAssist-equipped models, namely the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco and the 2012-2013 Buick Regal and LaCrosse.
1938k GM eAssist hybrids recalled for circuit board, fire risk

General Motors has issued a recall covering 38,197 2012 and 2013 model-year Chevy Malibu Eco, Buick LaCrosse and Regal sedans equipped with eAssist, and sold in the United States. The automaker will check the generator control module for proper operation. Only vehicles built before December 2012 are being recalled.
44GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
- Jeffrey N. Ross
- Mar 21, 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.

The very first 2012 Buick LaCrosse models began rolling off the line in June, but a new recall notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will have these cars going right back to the dealerships from which they came. NHTSA states that 4,077 LaCrosse sedans are affected by this recall, covering vehicles built between June 9 and July 2 of this year.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and General Motors have announced the recall of 10,000 vehicles. According to The Detroit News, certain 2011 Cadillac SRX and 2011 Buick Lacrosse models may have been built with a defect that can prevent the vehicle's defroster from effectively clearing the windshield. NHTSA is concerned that the reduced visibility could lead to an accident.

Selfies at the Tour de France, which started Saturday, aren't just annoying — they're causing major distractions and even injuries for the event's actual participants.
"The worst thing is when people have got their back to the peloton taking selfies," Team Sky rider Geraint Thomas told The Guardian. "They don't see us coming...I think people need to realize we take up the whole road."
American rider Tejay van Garderen tweeted that he suffered an injury during the race thanks to selfie-takers in the middle of the road, calling the selfies "a dangerous mix of vanity and stupidity." The guilty photographers weren't just teens, either — many of the selfies were of full-grown adults.
For those who still can't resist the Tour de France selfie, Thomas has some advice: "If you want to go and do that, go and sit in a tree." --Meghan DeMaria

During an emotional line of inquiry Wednesday, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) tore into Donald Trump's nominee for the head of the EPA, Scott Pruitt, demanding he prioritize human health over cleanup costs to polluters.
"I need you to care about human health," she demanded. "And really believe that the cost — when human health is at risk, when people are dying — is far higher than it is the cost to that polluter to clean up the air. I need you to feel it, as if your children sitting behind you are the ones in the emergency room."
Pruitt has long been an outspoken enemy of the EPA, and his nomination has raised the alarm among Democratic senators as well as environmental groups. "Scott Pruitt's antipathy for holding polluters accountable in his own state is a bad sign for things to come across America if he's given the reins at the EPA," the president of the nonprofit Environmental Working Group, Ken Cook, told State Impact. "The EPA's job is to protect public health, not let industry off the hook for polluting our rivers and drinking water." Jeva Lange
Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt sat before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on Wednesday for his confirmation hearing as President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. As Oklahoma's top litigator, Pruitt has sued the very agency he now seeks to lead several times, and during his hearing Wednesday he said he intends to use the EPA to regulate through "cooperative federalism."
Some Republican senators questioning Pruitt echoed his view that the public distrusts the EPA due to overreach and over-regulation. As ABC News points out, Pruitt has "gained a reputation as a pro-business attorney general who believed strongly in the rights of states to set their own limits on environmental matters," and on Wednesday he did little to indicate he would change that stance as a federal regulator. When pressed by Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) on whether he would continue an EPA precedent that grants California the right to set its own stronger regulations with regard to vehicle pollution, Pruitt said he would "review" the matter but declined to say outright whether he intends to uphold it.
Pruitt declared his EPA would adhere to the "rule of law" and that he would focus on restoring the public's "trust" in the federal government. He also expressed a desire for EPA officials to "be seen as partners, not adversaries" and for the agency itself to "provide more assistance to states," National Journal's Jason Plautz reports.
Huffington Post contributor Wajahat Ali noted that Pruitt has referred to himself as "the leading advocate against the EPA's activist agenda." Kimberly Alters
Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) faced intense questioning from Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) on Wednesday over his decision to purchase Innate Immunotherapeutics stock after a conversation with Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.). "Rep. Price, recent press reports about your investments in the Australian biotech company, Innate Immunotherapeutics, raise some curious questions about your judgments, and I want to review the facts," Murray began. "You made the decision to purchase that stock, not a broker, yes or no?"
"That was a decision I made, yes," Price answered.
His answer directly contradicts an earlier statement by Trump's transition team: "The Trump transition team said ... that the stock purchase was directed not by Price but by a broker and that the congressman himself did not become aware of the stock buy until well after the legislation was introduced," Reuters reports.
With serious questions about Price's medical stock trades during his time in the House, people we represent deserve answers. #PriceHearing pic.twitter.com/oOboaqveho
— Senator Patty Murray (@PattyMurray) January 18, 2017
Murray continued to push in her questioning: "Congressman Chris Collins, who sits on President-elect Trump's transition team, is both an investor and a board member of [Innate Immunotherapeutics]. He was reportedly overheard just last week off the House floor bragging about how he had made people millionaires from a stock tip," she said. "Congressman Price, in our meeting, you informed me you made purchases based on conversations with Rep. Collins, is that correct?"
Price has denied the accusation, claiming he had spoken to Collins simply about the company in general — but it's certainly not a great moment for the congressman. "[Innate Immunotherapeutics'] drug could benefit from the 21st Century Cures Act, which Mr. Price voted for. The law, signed in December, will speed up the Food and Drug Administration's approval of new medicines," The New York Times reports. "At the very least, Mr. Price exercised abysmal judgment by trading the shares of companies over whose fortunes he exercised so much control." Jeva Lange
Gov. Nikki Haley (R-S.C.), President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, declined to commit to staying aboard the Paris Agreement when pressed at her Senate confirmation hearing Wednesday. Haley insisted climate change would always be "on the table," but said the U.S. also must consider whether it would put industries "at peril" by supporting efforts that may impose additional regulations or restrictions. The Paris climate accords, which were reached in December 2015 at U.N. meetings in Paris, seek to limit greenhouse gas emissions to battle climate change.
Haley's position on the Paris Agreement falls in line with her overall stance on climate change, ThinkProgress noted. Though Haley has "not explicitly denied the veracity of climate change science," she has not necessarily acknowledged the effects of climate change head-on either, ThinkProgress said.

Donald Trump's nominee for the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, distanced himself from the president-elect Wednesday by stating firmly, "I do not think climate change is a hoax."
The statement, though, is unlikely to do much to ease concerns on the left or those held by protesters in the building. "Let me say to you, science tells us that the climate is changing and that human activity in some manner impacts that change," Pruitt said in his opening statement. "The ability to measure with precision the degree and extent of that impact and what to do about it are subject to continuing debate and dialogue. And well it should be."
Trump's nominee for secretary of the interior, Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-Mont.), also distanced himself from Trump by stating climate change is not a hoax but added that there is still some "debate" among scientists. Jeva Lange
Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) faced the Senate Health and Education Committee on Wednesday as President-elect Donald Trump's choice to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Price, an avowed enemy of the Affordable Care Act, said that Republicans are not "interested in pulling the rug out from anybody," and promised insurance for "every single American" during his confirmation hearing Wednesday.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who made the idea of health care as a "right" a central idea of his presidential campaign and has pushed a federally run single-payer system, was unimpressed with Price's promises and grilled the representative during his questions Wednesday. "Do you believe that health care is a right of all Americans whether they're rich or they're poor?" Sanders asked. "Should people, because they are Americans, be able to go to the doctor when they need to?"
Price began his response by saying that America is a "compassionate society" — to which Sanders immediately objected. Watch the fiery exchange below. Kimberly Alters

The Senate confirmation hearing for President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt, faced an unusually rocky start in the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.
Protests at the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee are "not unprecedented, but extraordinary," observed Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.). Outside the doors, protesters — including representatives from Standing Rock — expressed frustration about not being allowed to enter the public hearing for Pruitt's confirmation:

Pruitt has been a highly criticized choice to lead the EPA due to his frequent efforts over the years to dismantle or weaken the agency. Jeva Lange

I wish I was that good at mindfulness, to be able to just wipe away everything like clicking a delete button, then focus on nothing.

Every Parent Does It!
Caption: What is that disorder called when we make our kids dress like us? ... Love! Parenting Style Quiz - New! What's your parenting style? Are you more democratic or authoritative? Is your style more strict or lenient? Every parent does it! I don't know who first started it. Seems like an unwritten rule that sooner or later, one time or another, you MUST dress your child to look exactly and precisely the same as you! The same clothes, outfit, uniform, suit or dress or whatever the mother or father is wearing. Come on parents, admit it, we've all done it! Why? Why do we put our children through it? Are we worried people won't believe they are our children unless they look "exactly" like us? Or is it some type of safety plan in case they get separated from us?... Whatever the case, I think it boils down to one thing… LOVE!

When Sophie is suddenly orphaned at the age of six, she is taken from her parents' tea plantation, the only home she has ever known, to be raised halfway across the world in Scotland.
As the years pass and her exotic childhood becomes a distant memory, adventurous Sophie finds refuge in her friendship with her kind, shy cousin, Tilly. It is no surprise when the girls follow each other to India to embark on new adventures, new lives and new loves.
But the reality of 1920s India is far removed from their dream: the jungles are too humid and the breathtaking tea gardens too remote. And amongst the stifling beauty, intrigue abounds; while Sophie struggles with affairs of the heart, Tilly, alone in a difficult world, delves into the mystery of Sophie's parents' deaths. As the past begins to darken their friendship, will long-held secrets shatter everything they've ever striven for?

About this project
Pegasus Touch: The Next Generation of Desktop Consumer 3D Printing Using Laser Technology
As designers and engineers, we have found lasers and 3D printers to be amazing tools. Naturally, we wanted to combine the two and build a 3D Printer with lasers! Thanks to the wide adpotion of Bluray players, low cost near UV laser diodes which can cure liquid resin are now readily available making high quality 3D printers a reality.
Using software/electronics technology developed for our laser cutting/engraving products, we've perfected an affordable high quality laser based Stereolithography (SLA) 3D Printer that sets a new standard for desktop 3D printing for every maker and maker to be. Starting below $2000 on Kickstarter, Pegasus Touch produces by far the best quality 3D printing output for its price.
Come visit us at CES 2014 in Las Vegas Booth #32027 Jan 7-10, 2014 and see the printer first hand!
Speed: Controlling lasers properly takes years of experience. Pegasus Touch's advanced control electronics can pulse its laser source at over 500kHz while moving the laser beam at 3000mm/sec thanks to the same special FSL real-time laser processor used in $100,000 scanning laser systems. Faster laser control allow us to tune the resin to cure more quickly without sacrificing quality allowing for up to 10x the speed of FDM printers and 3-5x the speed of other SLA printers.
Output Quality: Nearly all current low desktop 3D printers below $3000 use FDM technology but Laser based SLA technology has set the gold standard for quality since it was invented in the 1980s. Due to finer control offered by laser technology, the finish of laser based SLA printers is just better.
Affordability: Starting below $2000, Pegasus Touch is the lowest cost assembled SLA printer available – it's even less expensive than many leading consumer FDM printers. Pretested, fast, high quality resin is available at only $100/liter (when purchased in 4L bulk).
Standalone Ease of Use: Other low cost printers transfer several gigabytes of post processed data from a tethered PC. Pegasus Touch has an on-board Linux computer that can do much of the 3D processing computation on the printer itself. Typical transfer file sizes are only a few megabytes so it never needs to be tethered to another computer.
By putting a full internet connected touchscreen computer right into the printer, FSL3D has been able to build a 3D Printer App Store right on the printer. Find high quality, pretested models right from the printer itself - no more digging endlessly or tweaking to find perfect printable 3D models.
Quick Specs:
- 3D Technology: 405nm scanning galvo laser liquid resin stereolithography
- Build area: up to 7"x7"x9" (177x177x228mm)
- Case Footprint: 11"x14"x22.5" (280x360x571mm)
- Processor: Built in 1GHz Linux computer with 512mB memory and 4.3" Touchscreen LCD Interfaces: Ethernet, USB, WiFi (requires optional USB dongle)
- On Board Software: Built in on-board Internet Connected 3D Printer App Store (no computer required)
- Desktop Software: Tightly integrated multi-touch capable desktop software with automatic slicing and automatic breakaway support generation with manual editing support for Windows PC (Mac coming soon)
- Speed: up to 3000mm/sec (>10x faster than most FDM, up to 6x faster than other SLA)
- Focused Laser Spot Size: ~250 microns
- XY Positioning Resolution: 16bit precision, ~3 micron
- Z Motor Resolution: ~5 micron (typical layer thickness 25-100 micron)

Risks and challenges
Manufacturing hardware products always has its challenges that all Kickstarter projects face. A laser based SLA 3D printer is additionally complicated in that it requires expertise in many fields: chemistry, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and software.
However to minimize these risks FSL3D draws on the same engineering and manufacturing experience from Full Spectrum Laser. Making hardware is not easy but FSL has years of manufacturing experience and pre-existing supplier relationships. Last year on Kickstarter, FSL introduced the 20"x12" 40W/45W Hobby Laser cutter raising over $259,000. We successfully delivered all rewards and shipped thousands of additional laser orders so we have developed strong supplier and manufacturing relationships.
FSL3D has built several working prototypes and thousands of prints and is confident we have a great working printer but we are always working hard to improve our products. Come visit us at CES Jan 7-10, 2014 Booth #32027 and see the printer and prints for yourself!
In addition, we have already purchased long lead time parts like motors and PCBs in advance to shorten the wait for rewards as much as possible. In addition, FSL3D can make use of the same 20,000+ sqft assembly line space in Las Vegas that is used to assemble FSL laser cutters.
Testing of thousands of printers in the field may uncover design flaws but FSL3D will work hard to solve any issues and maintain good communication with our backers.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
Yes the Pegasus Touch has a single external auto-switching 110v/220-240v power brick for easy worldwide power compatibility.
Currently the Pegasus Touch is designed and optimized for use with FSL3D resin only. We plan to have a variety of colors and material properties. We may consider adding support for other resins at a later date but optimizing speed while maintaining quality requires a lot of testing and tweaking of several parameters. You will find our resin is priced competitively with other commercial offerings especially for the quality.
We may consider offering a low cost open source resin at a later date for "draft" mode printing if we can meet our funding goals.
We have two methods as shown in the video to print objects:
1) Directly through the printer's touchscreen which connects online to our 3D App Store. No computer is necessary in this case. These models are pretested with all necessary settings and supports in place.
2) Importing an STL, OBJ or 3DS file through our Desktop software. Our desktop software will automatically slice the object and give the option to auto-generate supports. You can also click on supports to manually delete them or manually add new supports. The desktop software also supports multitouch features and advanced CAD like manipulations for positioning/rotation/scaling.
Advanced software and electronics is a specialty of FSL which we brought to FSL3D.
We haven't had time to test burnout qualities (since we are testing mostly for output quality) but it's on the to do list for the near future. We're sure we can provide a compatible burnout resin from us or we will support a 3rd party resin that burns out cleanly. We'd be happy to work with a backer to test the burn out qualities at a later date. Since we mix the resin ourselves in house, we can optimize it for particular processes easily.
Our preliminary shipping dimensions/weights (Pegasus 3D Printer only) are 15"x18"x26.5", 45 pounds. We can fit extra resin inside the shipping box if you choose to buy extra. Shipping is from our Las Vegas office: 6216 S Sandhill Rd, Las Vegas, NV, 89120.
You can use our Fedex shipping rates (Printer only, Laser+Printer ships as 2 boxes and additional shipping applies) as follows by adding it to your pledge:
USA: $75, Canada: $150, Hawaii: $150, Europe: $350, China: $500, Australia: $525.
Keep in mind international customs/taxes are NOT included. If your country charges VAT likely you will need to pay this extra amount on the declared value.
You can use your own shipping company and send us a shipping label but we take no responsibility after it leaves our warehouse if you use your own shipping method so ensure you buy insurance.
Currently we are estimating a MSRP of $3499. Save over $1000 by supporting our Kickstarter campaign! In addition, we will ship all Kickstarter pledges before any orders taken through our website.
The resin container will likely need replacement or recoating after 2-4 L of resin printing. You can recoat yourself with instructions provided or you can buy a new one for $75.
Resin of course needs to be purchased for printing at a cost of $125 for 1 liter or $400 for 4 liters ($100 per liter when purchased in 4L bulk). Our resin cost is one of the lowest direct from a manufacturer.
Backers are encouraged to order resin at the same time as their printer pledge by adding the difference in price to their pledge. Kickstarter pledges ship first before all other orders and can ship in the same box as the printer to save shipping costs.
We offer a standard 90 day base warranty on all parts/service for the Pegasus Touch (this is the same as most other consumer 3d printing companies). In addition, you can buy an extension to 1 year for $300 extra.
We see almost unlimited shelf life of the resin as long as it is kept out of light. To encourage people to buy in bulk and save, we will offer a 1 year warranty on any unused resin. If it ever spoils in the bottle (it shouldn't), send it back and we will swap it for new resin.
We ask all interested potential distributors/dealers to support our Kickstarter to get familiar with the product and see if it is something you would like to sell. We want distributors that are excited about our product enough to buy one to try. Without trying it and understanding the product we feel the relationship will not be productive.
We will make a selection of distributors after receiving feedback on the printer and shipping all Kickstarter rewards.

Questions about cheat system
A few questions from a new person:
When making a recipe, do you not count the ingredients from the left column? For instance, if I made chili with all veggies and tomatoes and beans, then added turkey, do I count just the turkey as a cheat?
How many servings of the green energy soup can you have a day? Is it considered a cheat after the first one because you have gone over one serving of coconut milk for the day?
If the goal is portion control, how can you "eat as much as you can" from the left column? Eat as much as you can for one serving? Or eat until you feel full?
If you don't eat anything in the cheat column, will weight loss be faster? Is it healthy to eat only from the left?
Coffee, I understand is considered a cheat. Even plain black coffee? Why? It only has 2 calories.
Thanks for the help!

Peer trainer cheat system questions help!
Bumping thread, please help
Tuesday, April 09, 2013, 4:19 PM
I am not perfect and I'm no expert, but wanted to share my thoughts. I hope this helps
When making a recipe, do you not count the ingredients from the left column?
that is correct, do not count foods on left, they are zero cheats
For instance, if I made chili with all veggies and tomatoes and beans, then added turkey, do I count just the turkey as a cheat?
I believe you get one serving of organic meat at zero points for the day, any other meat serving is considered a cheat
How many servings of the green energy soup can you have a day?
you can have as many servings as you like... but be sure to count the cheats... I believe a bowl (1 to 1.5 cups) runs around 150 to 200 calories, but I'd just count it as 1 cheat (1 cheat = 100 calories) for the second bowl... but others may count it differently and count two bowls as two cheats. I guess it really depends on if you stick true to recipe, which is about 0.75 cheats per bowl when I make it, and you get first coconut milk serving free/zero cheats
Is it considered a cheat after the first one because you have gone over one serving of coconut milk for the day?
yes, I believe it is only one healthy fat serving at zero cheats, then you add up the additional cheats of the healthy fats
If the goal is portion control,
? is the goal portion control ? (moderation can make some of us fat over time)
I like to think the goal is to first add in much needed alkalizing foods - natural organic whole foods, vegetables, fruits. second is to but more focus on green vegetables. third, once comfortable here, bring it up a notch and start crowding out the acidic foods with more alkalizing (natural plant based) foods. these series of shifts take some time and effort, its a process. this is how I've used the Cheat System, from time to time, first step. second step, etc. -- peertrainer doesn't state these steps, this is just how I view it and approach it
how can you "eat as much as you can" from the left column?
perhaps you can experiment with vegetable heavy soups, vegetable dense salads, and maybe try green drinks (smoothies and juices)
Eat as much as you can for one serving?
eat as many servings of the zero cheat foods as you like per meal. or maybe per snack, depending on your activity level and game plan
Or eat until you feel full?
well, you don't want to get a stomach ache or eat till you are nauseous, so eat until you are no longer hungry. however, if your body doesn't send the proper signals to your brain to stop eating, you may need to work on this and eat till just before full. I have problems with overeating, and drinking water has been a godsend!
If you don't eat anything in the cheat column, will weight loss be faster?
I don't know. I always make it a point to eat healthy fats, otherwise, I tend to binge. healthy fats keep me satisfied and satiated. don't be afraid of the healthy fats. I'm sure there are some no fat/no oil vegans on this site that can share their experiences. personally, I think you need to do what you can do every day for the rest of your life over the long haul. 6 cheats a day is ROCKIN'! 3 is pretty intense, and may be needed for some folks here to bust through a plateau
Is it healthy to eat only from the left?
sure. and I tip my hat to those that can do it! however, I need to eat a cheeseburger every once in a while. I also add a little bacon to otherwise vegan dishes.
Coffee, I understand is considered a cheat. Even plain black coffee? Why? It only has 2 calories.
I adore coffee and I feel your pain. perhaps you may want to consider buying an organic brand to avoid the pesticides. also, I say this with a heavy heart, coffee can interfere with sleep... and when you aren't getting adequate sleep every night, it impedes weight loss, stalling you out on the scale, making your weight loss slugglish and less efficient
perhaps you can take the hit, but be aware
Tuesday, April 09, 2013, 9:48 PM
Thanks for your input 9:48; I've also been waiting for answers to these questions.
