The Fender Jazzmaster's looks are very cool, it's light and plays like a strat, sort of.
Doesn't have the heft of a solid body so one needs to play slightly more gently, especially since the piezio pickup can be harsh. The intonation just isn't quite right. It's impossible to find a hardshell case for it.
A fun guitar to play and strum, but not really a replacement for a lead all-round instriument. The balance between the two pick-ups and the controls are too hard to adjust on stage (too small). A great instrument in flett, but not an "only one" guitar. It's not really a good Fender.

Patricia K. Vincent-Collawn
Thank you, Lisa. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us on this leap year day morning. I'm going to start the presentation on Slide 4 and review the significant progress we made last year strategic goals. Regarding our first strategic goal, earned authorized returns on our regulated businesses, we have made momentous progress. As you are aware, we implemented a $72 million retail rate case for PNM in August, and PNM is pursuing separate FERC transmission and generation rate cases. As we reported to you before, PNM is well positioned to earn its allowed returns on its jurisdiction rate base by the end of this year.
For 2011, PNM's return on its New Mexico retail rate base was 8.9%, a significant improvement from a couple of years ago when it was in the low single digits.
At TNMP, a general rate case in advanced metering system docket moved forward smoothly and with the needed pieces to provide the foundation for TNMP to earn its allowed return of 10.1% in 2011.
Regarding our operational goals, PNM had strong plant availability in 2011, and both of our utilities had solid reliability. Page A-4 of our appendix has the details baseload power plant performance for 2011 and expected performance for 2012.
As you know, securing rate release is half the story for providing strong financial performance. The other half is keeping O&M and capital costs under control and within budget. 2011 resulted in superb cost containment, and our employees continue to do more with less and work efficiently in all corners of our business. It is worth emphasizing that we have aligned and synchronized our expenses with revenues and we'll pursue future rate cases and another appropriate regulatory mechanisms to balance the need to earn an appropriate return for our shareholders while providing affordable rates for our customers.
As we reported last fall, we have maximized the value of the competitive business and used the proceeds to reduce debt and repurchase equity to strengthen our balance sheet. And we also reported to you previously that our utilities are now at investment grade. With a positive regulatory outcomes achieved in both New Mexico in Texas, combined with the exit of our competitive businesses, both Standard & Poor's and Moody's have issued credit rating upgrades. Clearly, the rating agencies have recognized the transformation of the company going back to a regulated utility model, which provides us with a strong financial platform with stable and predictable earnings.
The ultimate goal of returning PNM Resources to solid investment grade is still a work in progress. Before turning to the next slide, I'd like to take a moment to recognize all of our employees for their contribution to the company's accomplishments in 2011. The past year was filled with many changes and challenges that required an unprecedented level of focus and hard work. From the concerted outcomes on the regulatory front in both New Mexico and Texas, to the complicated and time-consuming efforts needed to successfully exit from the competitive business, not to mention taking care of our customers, our employees never wavered and demonstrated their commitment to accomplishing their goals.
Turning to Slide 5. This morning, we released our 2011 results and reported we had ongoing earnings of $1.08, which is higher than the top range we had previously provided. Chuck will provide the details in just a moment. Overall, 2011 was a strong year for PNM Resources financially and operationally, as I highlighted on the previous slide. Both PNM and TNMP benefited from rate reliefs, cost control efforts and favorable weather in 2011 over 2010. Lower power plant outage costs in 2011 versus 2010 also improved PNM's earnings. And a quick note about December weather. Albuquerque had a 37% increase in heating degree days during that month compared with that same period in 2010.
I will touch briefly on another significant development announced earlier in our news release. Yesterday, the PNM Resources Board of Directors increased the dividend payment by 16% to an indicated annual rate of $0.58 per common share. This will create a foundation to provide top quartile total return to our shareholders and bring our dividend deals closer to industry averages. Chuck will provide more detail about this in a few moments. And as you read in today's news release, we are affirming our 2012 ongoing earnings guidance range of $1.20 to $1.32.
Turn to Slide 6 for a brief discussion on utility load growth. A year ago, I was hopeful and I think we all were hopeful that by this time, we would've seen more definite and tangible signs of a rebounding economy. Unfortunately, what we're seeing is just a modestly improved economic environment. While New Mexico's unemployment rate was on a downward trend early in the year, the last 5 months of 2011 showed little to no improvement. Mexico has still fared better than the national average in terms of unemployment rates, but the trending decrease in the unemployment rate in New Mexico is due to a decrease in labor force rather than employment growth. New Mexico's unemployment rate for December was 6.6% compared with the national rate of 8.5%. And year-over-year employment growth continues to strengthen Texas and TNMP service territory. TNMP service saw an increase in single-family building permit of 3.3%, which builds upon the 15% increase in building permits in 2010.
Load growth was positive at 1.4% for PNM and 1.3% for TNMP, which was just above our projections from a year ago for PNM and slightly below our TNMP forecast. As you can see from both line graphs, we're seeing a steady climb in load growth even with an increase in both PNM's and TNMP's energy efficiency efforts.
Turn to Slide 7 for an update on regulatory and legislative matters. As we've talked, we have an ongoing FERC transmission case. Our original filing was for $11 million based on an RoE of 12.25%. The FERC staff has filed its response, and we remain in settlement discussions among the parties. And we will keep you posted of any developments. We also have an ongoing FERC generation case associated with the Navopache Electric Co-op. PNM is proposing a cost of service base rate for electric service and ancillary services PNM provides to Navopache, which would result in an annual increase of $8.7 million over current rates. We remained in settlement discussions and no procedural schedule has been issued on this docket.
On January 10, we made a filing with the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission, seeking approval of a renewable energy rider to recover certain commission approved renewable energy procurement costs implemented since January 2011. We have proposed that the rider go into effect August 8, 2012, and this filing includes recovery for the 5 utility scale solar power facilities that totaled 22 megawatts that went online last year, our customer-owned solar programs and the PNM battery solar storage projects that we are doing in conjunction with the Department of Energy.
The rider would increase the average residential bill by about 2.1% or $1.38 a month and allow more timely recovery of our costs of renewable energy programs. The procedural schedule has been established in this case calling for a hearing to begin on May 14. The filing is posted on our website at Rate and Filing section and will add our supplemental testimony at it gets filed with the PRC.
Regarding the future test year rule-making for New Mexico rate cases, on February 8, PNM, the commission staff and Southwestern Public Service Company filed a joint petition asking the PRC to start a rule-making proceeding to address future-test-year filings. A proposed rule is included in that filing. A rule specifies the filing requirements necessary to support a rate case application based upon a future-test-year period. That filing and the proposed rule are both posted on our website. We will keep you up-to-date of significant developments. Any comments on the proposed rule, would come after and if the commission issues a notice of proposed rule-making.
Some of you have inquired about PNM's next rate case. We plan to file the next case this December proposing for rates to go into effect in January of 2014. I'd also like to update you on the developments regarding the legislation here in New Mexico that was aimed at making some changes at the Public Regulation Commission. Three resolutions were passed, but they all require a constitutional amendments and therefore will have to be passed by voters in November.
Let me quickly recap these 3 resolutions. There's a measure that would placed the oversight of corporations within the Secretary of State's office instead of the Public Regulation Commission. There is a measure that would remove the insurance division from the Public Regulation Commission and place it under an appointed superintendent of insurance. And then, there is a resolution that would establish minimum qualifications regarding education and/or relevant work experience for the PRC. And again, all of these 3 will be on the ballot in November and must be passed by the voters.
Before I turn the call over to Chuck, I just want to mention the BART issue at the San Juan generating station. On page A17 in the appendix, you'll find details on BART but just last month, we issued a request for proposals for the installation of the SCR technology at San Juan. While we have asked both the EPA and the court first day, the 5-year timeline for compliance means we must move forward while we wait for the EPA and the court to rule. We would hope to hear from the court sometime in March. With that, I'll turn the call over to Chuck.
Chuck Eldred
And thank you, Pat, and good morning to everyone. As Pat described, 2011 was a true transitional year for PNM Resources. We've had a long journey of evolving and executing the strategic vision of the company. Looking back over the past several years, we sold our gas business, reinstated our fuel costs and moved merchant plants into rate base, not to mention having achieved a number of rate increases totaling more than $200 million between PNM and TNMP. 2011 also marks our exit of the competitive businesses and resulted in a further strengthening of our balance sheet and improved credit ratings.
Going forward, we are a regulated utility with a strong focus on earning our allowed returns. As we discussed in our guidance call in December, we have a number of areas that we'll be concentrating on including adding to our rate base and working to improve the returns and our FERC generation and transmission businesses at PNM.
Now turning to Slide 9. As you read in the news release, ongoing earnings were $0.22 for the fourth quarter of 2011. This was a $0.25 increase year-over-year. The majority of the improvement came from PNM and TNMP for a combined total of $0.16 and was largely driven by rate relief. Another factor was the fourth quarter 2010 loss at Optim of $0.05 for which there was no comparable activity this quarter due to the exit of the business.
Our full-year 2011 ongoing earnings were $1.08, up $0.21 from 2010. We exceeded our guidance range by $0.03 primarily because of the cold weather in December. PNM and TNMP were the major contributors to the improvement in earnings, and I'll cover the drivers for those businesses in a moment. The corporate and other segment was up $0.06 year-over-year, primarily because in 2010, we impaired some production tax credits related to our wind farm tax investment that we do not expect to utilize before they expired due to our NOL position through 2013. Another favorable driver was reduced interest expense related to the $50 million debt repurchase in November 2011. Optim accounted for another $0.04, which was offset by a decrease year-over-year from First Choice Power of $0.19. The hot summer in Texas had a favorable impact on Optim and a negative impact on First Choice. Remember the 2011 results were Optim and First Choice Power do not reflect those operations for the entire year. Optim has shown through August 31 and First Choice through October 31.
Now turning to Slide 10. PNM was up $0.18 year-over-year. Rate relief accounted for an improvement of $0.21, and lower outage costs improved EPS by $0.10 year-over-year. Load growth added $0.04, and weather was $0.03 year-over-year. Our cost control efforts accounted for $0.02 in 2011. We have been able to implement a number of cost saving measures in 2011 including process improvements in labor reductions. These savings have been large enough to offset other increases in our business such as higher depreciation and property tax expense related to planned additions and right away costs and still result in a net improvement to the bottom line.
The realized gains in our nuclear decommissioning trust contributed another $0.05. You will recall that portfolio management activities of the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust occasionally affect our earnings but are not a consistent driver for us. These increases were partially offset by the expiration of the Palo Verde tolling agreement, which is down $0.27 year-over-year.
TNMP was up $0.12 year-over-year and also had improved results due to rate relief. This accounted for $0.08 of the change. Weather contributed $0.03 and load $0.01 year-over-year.
Now turning to Slide 11. As you saw in earnings release this morning, we have announced a dividend increase of 16% to an annual rate of $0.58 per share. This is the first change in our dividend since 2008 and demonstrates our confidence in our earnings now that we have shifted toward and more regulated and less volatile business model. We expect this increase to be the first step in moving the dividend payout ratio toward a long-term target of 50% to 60% of ongoing earnings. The board will continue to evaluate the dividend each year considering sustainability, growth, capital planning and industry standards as they determine the annual payout.
And moving to Slide 12. As we discussed in our 2012 guidance call in December, we have a long-term goal providing top quartile total return to our shareholders. We're currently seeing top quartile as an average annual total return of 10% to 13% over a 5-year timeframe. Over the next 5 years, we expect earnings growth to be driven primarily by increases in rate base but also by improvements in other parts of our business such as FERC generation and transmission that are currently not earning their allowed returns. Depending on when we file rate cases and the timing our capital spending, the earnings growth rate will exhibit some variability from year-to-year. We expect the other component of total return, dividend yield, to grow over time. As I've discussed before, we are now on a trajectory where we will be able to provide a sustainable dividend increases in the future. And with that, I'll turn the call back over to Pat.
Patricia K. Vincent-Collawn
Thanks, Chuck. We'll finish today's presentation with a 2012 checklist. We introduced this particular checklist last December to communicate to you the specific objectives we need to accomplish in order to be successful in achieving our strategic goals listed on the left side of the slide. We will continue to focus on our key strategic goals of earning our authorized return on our regulated businesses, improving our credit ratings and providing top quartile returns. We feel strongly that by being successful in the future-test-year rule-making, our FERC transmission and generation rate cases as well as the PNM renewable rider, we'll make significant strides towards the goals. And as always, we focus on maintaining strong electric reliability and power plant availability. We will also continue to control our O&M and our capital costs to ensure that our businesses are operating as efficiently as possible to keep rates down for our customers.
With that, we can start the question-and-answer portion of the call.
Question-and-Answer Session
[Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from Anthony Crowdell with Jefferies.
Anthony C. Crowdell - Jefferies & Company, Inc., Research Division
A question, I guess, on the SCRs, I believe you guys are planning or you're, I guess, going about to installing to San Juan plant. I mean, are you going to wait for court decision? Or does the company plan to file a single issue rate case in New Mexico to recover associated environmental costs?
Patricia K. Vincent-Collawn
What we're doing on those is we should know in March whether or not we have to stay by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. We will continue to go down the road of getting the bids in for the SCRs for the time -- the 5-year compliance period. We haven't decided when we will need to do a single issue or if we will need to do a single issue for that to get that cost recovery, but it wouldn't necessarily be linked to the court decision. If we're spending significant amounts of money, we will want to go ahead and file for that.
Our next question comes from Brian Russo with Ladenburg Thalmann.
Brian J. Russo - Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., Research Division
Just your 5-year total return performance of roughly 10% to 13%. If we just kind of assume your 3.3% yield, does that imply about 7% to 10% average annual EPS growth over that time period? How should we kind of think about that?
Chuck Eldred
Well, you think of it in terms of understanding that we'll look at both components of dividend yield and earnings growth in the time of the rate relief and what the board and management thinks is appropriate relative to being consistent in our ability to grow that dividend and make it sustainable. So you can back into the numbers that way and look at it that way but we also wanted to emphasize that the total return over 5 years on average, along with our peer groups as to how we measure the results and we realized from year to year, you can have some variability relative to earnings and some lag on rate recovery. But the objective is to get a total of the 10% to 13% at the end of the top quartile.
Brian J. Russo - Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., Research Division
And are you using 2012 as the base?
Chuck Eldred
Yes, Brian, 2012 is the base year.
Brian J. Russo - Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., Research Division
Okay, great. And you mentioned the next PNM electric generate case filing for new rates in '14, assuming you move forward with the forward test year. What would be the test year that would be, would it be a '14 test year reflected in 2014?
Patricia K. Vincent-Collawn
Yes, Brian, it would be a '14 test year.
Brian J. Russo - Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., Research Division
Okay. And then lastly, you mentioned PNM Resources pursuit of investment grade is still work in progress. I mean, any thoughts or initiatives to pay down some of that apparent debt that's creating quite a bit of earnings drag.
Patricia K. Vincent-Collawn
No, Brian, right now, that debt is at 9.25, and it's not callable. So it would be expensive to pay it down, obviously, we'll monitor interest rates if interest rates would change and go up that dramatically, we would look at it. But right now, we just plan to leave it there.
[Operator Instructions] Our next question comes from Ali Agha with SunTrust.
Ali Agha - SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., Research Division
Talk about just also to be clear, when you talk about the total return and you talked about 2012 base year. So to be clear, we're looking at, let's say, the midpoint of the '12 guidance range. That's the starting point and then, we're taking 5 years from there. So '12 through '17, or are we looking at the '11 actual and then '11 through '16.
Chuck Eldred
You're looking at '12 being the base, the results from 2012 going forward and what kind of earnings projections that we would ultimately provide along with the dividend yield that we set for this year and 2013 going forward. So I think, just look at 2012 and the growth from '12 to '13 and so forth.
Ali Agha - SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., Research Division
Got it. And on the dividend itself, you mentioned ultimately, the goal is 50% to 60% is kind of where you think you need to be. Just from philosophically thinking about it, you took a step towards that, when do you think you should be there? I mean, is this is a multi-year process? Or should we think that the next increase should basically get you there?
Chuck Eldred
Well, what we've said is we want to make sure we have a pretty clear direction relative to the capital requirements of the business going forward given that SCR's, renewables, other types of investment peaking use, et cetera. And once we gain certainly around that path, then certainly, we'll evaluate at what point we think the payout ratio would be achieved at that target of 50% to 60%. So just I think, at this point, the message is really should focus on average 5-year return, the 10 to 13 knowing that there could be some movement on earnings year-over-year and trying to work towards achieving competitive dividend yield as a regulated business. So it's really hard to pin down. I don't want to say at this point any particular day but know that we are committed and very focused on delivering that total return.
Patricia K. Vincent-Collawn
Absolutely. The board, Ali, looks at it every February. And the more clarity we get around capital, the more we're able to do. We've got a lot of big capital staring us in the face.
Ali Agha - SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., Research Division
Right, right. And then lastly, if I looked at the PNM Electric business as a whole, the [ph] components et cetera, can you just remind us, so for 2011, what was the actual ROE for PNM Electric and TNMP? And what's sort of embedded in that midpoint for your '12 guidance range?
Patricia K. Vincent-Collawn
The actual for the PNM retail was 8.9% last year. And for TNMP, we earned our allowed return, which is about 10%.
Ali Agha - SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., Research Division
And what's embedded?
Chuck Eldred
The assumption for PNM for 2012 is that we will earn our allowed returns.
Patricia K. Vincent-Collawn
And for TNMP.
Chuck Eldred
Yes, for TNMP. If we could just go back and just pull the guidance information, investor relations can kind of walk you through some of the information we provided back in December to make sure it's clear on what the assumptions were behind that.
Ali Agha - SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., Research Division
Yes. So the 8.9% was retail, so is it fair to say as a whole, maybe 100 to 200 basis points below that because of the FERC? Or was that too big of a drop?
Patricia K. Vincent-Collawn
We were breakeven on the FERC portion of our rate base, and that's...
Chuck Eldred
Well yes, we did the numbers, just remember it's 7% of the PNM rate base. It's really reflected on that FERC piece. So you can kind of work through the numbers and come up with what that return would be.
Our next question comes from Mori May with Power Insights.
Maurice E. May - Power Insights
A couple of questions. First of all, you didn't mention the outlook Palo Verde 3 investment, and I was just wondering whether you can give us some kind of insight there as to what you expect in power prices and profitability and whether you plan on trying to rate base that investment.
Chuck Eldred
Yes, Hi, Maury, this is Chuck. I think, the conversation we've had around Palo Verde 3 when we talked about our outlook towards that, it is an option for us and how we think about the business going forward. We're focused as being a regulated business and so certainly, that option does allow for us to consider putting that into rate base at some point in the future. At the current state of where power prices are, we certainly realized that the energy prices in the market today don't allow for a very real contribution to the business in the earnings power of the business. The potential is there with the energy prices going up that we could certainly see some significant improvement. When we talked about guidance, we were around 60% unhedged and 40% hedged. We continue to look at our rolling 12-month hedging strategy which there have been some opportunities to benefit slightly from where we had originally projected but it's just too early to say where we might end up for the year. But at this point, we want to keep that asset as an option. We consider it to add a lot of value for the business and certainly, we'll play that option to where we think shareholders can gain the greatest value.
Maurice E. May - Power Insights
Okay. If you wanted to put it into rate base, what kind of pushback might you get from the PRC?
Chuck Eldred
Well, they've been very supportive towards nuclear in the past, and there's no reason to think they wouldn't consider that going forward. So as we file for integrated resources plan and what our low growth is and our needs for resources, that gives us the option to have that kind of discussion. But certainly, they view it as indicated in the past as a very supportive towards nuclear assets.
Patricia K. Vincent-Collawn
The discussion with more on what the price put it in as opposed to the fact that it's a nuclear power plant.
Chuck Eldred
And after that, the fact it doesn't have emissions so there's some value from an environmental standpoint that would also gain some benefit to other intervenors that might think of our resource additions going forward.
Maurice E. May - Power Insights
Okay. And what is the book value of Palo Verde 3. I know it's in the 10-K, but I don't have it opened.
Patricia K. Vincent-Collawn
It's about $1,000 per kilowatt. So it's about 134 -- excuse me, about $1,000 per megawatt and there's about 134 megawatts.
Maurice E. May - Power Insights
Okay. $1000 a kilowatt, I think, you're right the first time. And then second of all, this initiative on rules for the forecast test year, I know the staff was working on it in January. I guess, you have opened the docket in February. But what is the outlook there, timing wise?
Patricia K. Vincent-Collawn
I don't know that I would forecast what the timing outlook on that is. I think, that there is 2 things. One, remember in the stipulation that was filed last time, there was some future test making principles that all the signatories agreed to use, even if the commission didn't have a rule-making so there is a backstop unit this rule-making doesn't happen. We would hope that they get started on it relatively soon, and I know as staff that we would all like to do that. But trying to forecast the time of there isn't a winning proposition.
Maurice E. May - Power Insights
Okay. And last question has to do with the dividend. The midpoint in your guidance range for 2012 is $1.26. And that is really less than where the dividend went and if you take the 50%, if you take the bottom end of your dividend range as from the -- the midpoint of the $1.26. It implies a dividend rate of a little higher than $0.58. So I'm wondering why the board was so conservative in the dividend boost?
Chuck Eldred
Mori, we want to be conservative because of the comments about the uncertainty around the capital spend to support a number different aspects of the business going forward with the SCR and the renewables, peaking units, potential for new gas units down the road. So we want to be sure that the message is very clear that the dividend is very sustainable, and we're very comfortable with the outlook towards the business and as we plan and execute our strategy within the business, we expect to deliver above-average dividend growth. I think, this is the right thing to do as a first step, the board feels good about where we positioned the business today, and it is sustainable. And we fully expect to have average dividend growth that could exceed normal expectations going forward but we just want to just take in steps.
Maurice E. May - Power Insights
Okay. So it'll be more than a couple of years until you get that competitive dividend?
Chuck Eldred
We don't want to commit to anything.
Patricia K. Vincent-Collawn
There's so many variables in that equation, Maury, to make a commitment.
I'm not showing any further questions at this time. I'd like to turn the call back over to Pat for closing comments.
Patricia K. Vincent-Collawn
Thank you. Well, thank you all for joining us. I hope you all enjoyed this extra day of the year that we have this year, and we look forward to talking to you on our First Quarter Earnings Call. Have a great one.

Established by the NAS Council in October 2008 by combining two awards: The Charles Doolittle Walcott Medal established by a gift of Mrs. Mary Vaux Walcott in memory of her husband, Charles Doolittle Walcott, and the Stanley Miller Medal established through a bequest from NAS member Stanley Miller. The award rotates presentation between the Charles Doolittle Walcott Medal for research on Cambrian or pre-Cambrian life, and the Stanley Miller Medal which recognizes research on Earth's early development as a planet, including prebiotic chemistry and the origin of life; planetary accretion, differentiation, and tectonics; and early evolution of the atmosphere and oceans. Each medal is presented with a $10,000 prize.
The Stanley Miller Medal was established upon bequest of Stanley L. Miller in 2007. Miller is best known for his groundbreaking work in the Miller-Urey Experiment. In the experiment, Miller combined gasses believed to be present in the early Earth's atmosphere into a closed environment. To simulate the electrical charges emitted by lighting during Earth's youth, Miller pumped a continuous electrical current through the gasses. After one week of emitting the electrical current, 10-15% of the carbon contained in the simulated atmosphere formed into organic compounds and 2% of the compounds formed into amino acids, clearly demonstrating the ability of organic compounds to form under Earth's early atmospheric conditions. While criticisms now exist as to how accurately Miller's experiment emulated Earth's early atmospheric conditions, Miller's findings still provide invaluable insight into the formation of essential organic compounds.
James F. Kasting, Evan Pugh University Professor of Geosciences at Pennsylvania State University, received the 2016 NAS Award in Early Earth and Life Sciences, presented with the Stanley Miller Medal. The composition of a planet's atmosphere affects the climate on the planet's surface. A thick layer of carbon dioxide, for instance, drives the temperature on Venus to a whopping 467°C. On Earth, in contrast, the atmosphere is dominated by nitrogen, but there is enough carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to keep the surface warm enough for life. In the past, though, Earth's atmosphere has been very different, with levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide fluctuating over time.
Kasting has made fundamental insights into this atmospheric evolution through the development of numerical models. The core of his research has been the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. He has calculated the minimum levels of carbon dioxide needed to prevent the planet from freezing into a "Snowball Earth" scenario, for instance. And he and his colleagues have used his models to determine when the planet's carbon dioxide will run out and its water will be lost, calculating that the Earth will no longer be able to support life in another 2 billion years or less. Kasting's studies into the evolution of carbon dioxide and other atmospheric gases—such as oxygen, methane, and nitrous oxide—have provided insight into the proliferation of life on the early Earth. He has also made major contributions in the search for life on other planets, including refining the concept of the "habitable zone"—the region around a star where a planet can support liquid water and possibly life.

Help the puppies
A horrendous act of animal cruelty has left the North Country shocked and saddened. Last month, the owner of the Northern Puppies pet shop in Plattsburgh, Tammy Staley, was charged with 20 counts of cruelty after animals were found covered in feces and urine and confined in small cages, resulting in two dead kittens and others in poor health. Then last week, her husband, Michael Staley, was arrested for allegedly dumping 24 puppies throughout Clinton County in order to avoid vet bills and feeding them.
Without preaching to the choir on how neglecting and dumping animals is a slow and traumatizing form of killing, there are other ramifications. Such bad judgment often reflects how that person is willing to treat others. This is a sign to be aware of since statistics show cruelty to animals sometimes precedes similar behavior toward humans, possibly family and friends.
We are saddened to hear there are still puppies missing but glad to know many people came together to help. We are thankful we have responsible and caring police, veterinarians and townspeople who support their humane societies.
Our local Tri-Lakes Humane Society was involved in the rescue of one puppy. It was found in the town of Saranac, which contracts with the agency for the important services of animal rescue, care and adoption.
To continue to fight for animal protection, we encourage showing support by volunteering or donating. For these rescued puppies alone there is more than $20,000 in vet bills to be paid. To help, or if you find a puppy, call the Plattsburgh city police at 518-563-3411.
For continual support, remember your local humane society or Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal where puppies and kittens are not sold for profit; they are just found loving homes.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
In My grandmother's will she indicate that her house was to be sold and the proceeds are to go towards my education. However the executor has moved into her house, what should I do. I am now 18 years old.
There are a lot of follow-on questions that could impact the answer. How long ago did your grandmother pass away? Has the will been probated? Is the executor a relative / heir of your grandmother? Have they given you a reason why it hasn't been sold per the instructions of the will? Is the house listed? Is the executor paying rent to the estate?
A lot also depends upon your relationship to the executor. I'd start the simple way - mail the executor a letter and ask for an update on the sale. If that doesn't get an acceptable response, then I would contact an attorney and ask him/her to review the will and send a demand letter on your behalf. Finally, I'd retain the attorney to challenge the matter in the probate court.
Based upon your answers to the questions above, those suggestions could change though. I recommend you take the will to an attorney and ask for a consultation. Many attorneys will meet with you for a free 1/2 hour to 1 hour consultation to determine the merits of your case.
I concur with Mr. Bass's answer. Sitting down with a lawyer would be a must to consider details we don't have.

How to know your qual research pre-test interview was a success?
Hello, qualitative researchers! I'm doing a qualitative research project. i have a series of interview questions i wanted to ask some people. to make sure the questions were good, i asked them to my pre-test subject. the questions seemed clear and their responses seemed interesting. but is there some more scientific way of saying (or deciding) "Yup, seems good."? I need to write in my thesis how i came to the conclusion that the pre-test was successful. I can see how this would be easy(or more precise) in quantitative research, but i don't have any numbers. How do you do this? And how do you word it? Thank you!

Moving beyond Sokal?
I am interested in articles that try to analyze and explain the conflict between the hard and soft sciences. In my casual web surfing I have come across e.g. highly-trained scientists who yet express a deep disdain for fields as open-ended and far-ranging as sociology, feminism, queer theory, postmodernism, and so on, sometimes even economics, psychology. I find such attitudes hard to comprehend, and even disturbing since my educational background is in the applied sciences.

Gift ideas for science-minded 11-year-old boy
Another gift-question, but I didn't find anything in the archives that's exactly applicable, so here goes: I'm looking for a Christmas gift for my 11-year-old cousin. He's pretty into science and math, and according to my aunt, already has tons of toys/games/kits. So it seems like she would prefer for him not to get another one of those, but her only other suggestion was to give him "coupons" to play card/board games with me. I'd be happy to do that except frankly I'm not sure he'd actually appreciate it - fwiw we rarely see each other, and I'm ten years older and female. I'm thinking a good book might be nice, but I don't know exactly what he's already read and liked, other than the typical series like Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Diary of a Wimpy Kid etc. Any suggestions - either lesser-known books or other options I might not have thought of? My max price range is probably $25-30 but I can be a little flexible.

I have a large road case (2.5 / 2.5 / 3 feet) that I need to weigh. It is too big to fit on one scale. Would it work to place one scale under each of the 4 wheels and average the 4 weight readings? My physics-fu is not strong enough to figure this one out on my own. Help!
What science experiments can I do with a balloon full of carbon dioxide?
This Halloween I did some Halloween candy science experiments with my nieces and nephew. One of the experiments we didn't get to do (but soon will) is: Pouring Pop Rocks into a bottle of pop will make all that pent-up carbon dioxide escape but not fizz over. If you put the rocks into a balloon, then fit the balloon over the bottle's mouth and let the rocks fall in, it inflates the balloon with carbon dioxide. But what can I do with a balloon full of carbon dioxide? ...Is it a stupid idea to inhale it to see if I get a funny voice? [more inside]
Interesting Stuff About the (Literal) Human Heart
Researching the human heart for an essay. The real heart. not the metaphorical one. I'm having trouble finding interesting articles online that go beyond 10 FACTS ABOUT THE HEART-type-things that get repetitive. I have already done a good bit of research into transplant history and fetal heart development, and I have a story about NASA growing cardiac cells in a bioreactor. But I still need more! Can you either tell me interesting true stuff or link me to it?
Canadian contributions to meteorology?
What are some contributions that Canadians have made to meteorology as a science? I'm looking for technologies, theories, whatever you can come up with. Even Canadians that were involved in the development of something to do with a technology or meteorological finding.

Pro-science Anti-anti-vaccine Animated Web Video from Australia or NZ?
I recently saw a great animated piece expressing exasperation (that I share) with the anti-vaccine, pro-feelgood-pseudoscience crowd.

I am tired of labeling my microcentrifuge tubes by hand.
This seems like it ought to be a simple question but I'm not finding the answer myself. Someone here must already know. I would like to buy sheets of printable adhesive labels suitable for sticking on 1.5ml/2.0ml microcentrifuge tubes. Ideally I would like both dots for the caps and little rectangles for the sides. They don't need to be able to stand up to particularly tough conditions, except that they shouldn't run if they get wet. Also, they should be cheap as I am a grad student and would be buying them out of my own pocket. I am just sick of writing the same teeny tiny letters over and over and over again with an ultrafine Sharpie. Can somebody here point me to a product that I can buy that would suit my needs?

What's a Zuiderdam? Well, according to Holland America, it, along with Oosterdam, is the name of one of the line's two newest ships (in case you're curious, the company defines these terms as "south and east" Œvista points of the compass). These ships -- 1,848 passengers, 85,000 tons -- are part of a new series called Vista (get the connection?). Zuiderdam, the first in the series, is due out September 2002; the remaining four will be launched through 2005. New features? Copying a Celebrity Millennium innovation, the ships will have "exterior elevators" with sea views; although the company's announcement that they'd "vertically" transverse 10 decks would be more exciting if, say, they'd "horizontally" transport you from forward to aft. Otherwise, there are minor innovations and enhancements to existing Holland America features -- the art collection, an Internet cafe, a disco, a Club HAL children's facility and a concierge lounge for penthouse guests.

I use this pack once a day every morning after washing my face and it has amazing results. The results last for only one day so I use it everyday. My face shines and skin looks really healthy. In my opinion it will suit oily skin girls as this pack is a bit drying. Must try.

Skip to comments.EPA to preside over fish cases
Posted on 09/20/2011 5:34:07 PM PDT by george76
Commercial fishermen will no longer have their regulatory cases heard by Coast Guard Administrative Law Judges.
Instead, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced that as of Thursday, Environmental Protection Agency ALJs will preside over all new fishing law enforcement cases.
This measure is being taken in response to an inquiry made by the Inspector General into complaints by commercial fishermen that NOAAs National Marine Fisheries Services regulatory system was being excessive with its penalties and actions.
Jerry Slaff, NOAA public affairs officer, said the EPA will provide judges for regulatory cases for the next two years. He said NOAA is still looking for a permanent solution to its law enforcement issue.
(Excerpt) Read more at tidelandnews.com ...
EPA... they'll be unbiased, knowledgeable, and understanding. They'll know a lot more about fishing than the seamen of the Coast Guard. /S
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Think about it. The EPA has judges? A swat team coming? Read "The Thor Conspiracy" by Larry Burkett ... maybe Larry's book should not be listed as fiction!
I am glad beyond words that I left the life of the commercial fisherman behind. I feel for my friends who are still trying to make it in the industry.
It's sad what has become of Amerika, we now resemble more the old Soviet Union than the land of the free. I got out of commercial fishing in the 1980's, even then you could see the hand writing on the wall and that the government was intent on regulating it out of existence. Also, all the fish processing plants started to get bought out by foreign companies and were price fixing so that it was real though to make any money at it. I wonder sometimes what is going to happen when all the producers have been put out of business, who's going to pay for everything then?
I think that about sums up the situation here.
when all the producers have been put out of business, whos going to pay for everything then?
The Obama stash ?
The United Nations Agenda 21 at work.
What could go wrong ?
I thought NOAA just gave us a weather forecast.
September 8, 2011
NOAA to use EPA administrative law judges for newly docketed enforcement cases
Beginning today, NOAA will refer new law enforcement cases to administrative law judges (ALJs) from the Environmental Protection Agency.
Over the last several months, NOAA has worked with the Office of Personnel Management to find a new source for ALJs. OPM conducted a government-wide search for replacements.
In putting in place a new arrangement for ALJs, NOAA looked at a number of factors, including experience in hearing enforcement cases, experience in handling complex natural resource issues and a full support infrastructure, among other criteria. ALJs from the EPA have extensive experience handling enforcement cases involving complex federal natural resource statutes, including the Clean Water Act and the Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act, among many others. The EPA ALJs also have a full support infrastructure, and are able to fully handle NOAAs caseload.
Todays announcement builds on NOAAs previous actions to reform every aspect of its enforcement program. In response to reviews of the program by the Inspector General that were requested by NOAA Administrator Dr. Jane Lubchenco, the agency has implemented a number of sweeping changes since January 21, 2010, including:
* New policies and procedures such as a new and uniform nationwide penalty policy for the Office of General Counsel for Enforcement and Litigation (GCEL);
* New leadership in the Office of Law Enforcement and GCEL;
* Greater oversight of lawyers and enforcement agents; and greater oversight of funds spent on the enforcement program.
Any cases docketed with the Coast Guard ALJs prior to today are expected to remain with the Coast Guard ALJs.
To get more information on the reforms to NOAAs enforcement program, visit NOAAs Timeline of Enforcement Program Improvements.
NOAAs mission is to understand and predict changes in the Earth's environment, from the depths of the ocean to the surface of the sun, and to conserve and manage our coastal and marine resources. Join us on Facebook, Twitter and our other social media channels.
I have a very permanent solution to the issue. NOAA employees won't like it much, but it would be a permanent solution.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
'unelected crazy despots controlling our futures' ping!
Most pathetic but not surprising. The EPA can make short work of commercial fishing in the Obama administration.
in 1990, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) began systematically eliminating climate measuring stations in cooler locations around the world.
Yes, that's right. They began eliminating stations that tended to record cooler temperatures and drove up the average measured temperature. The eliminated stations had been in higher latitudes and altitudes, inland areas away from the sea, as well as more rural locations.
The drop in the number of weather stations was dramatic, declining from more than 6,000 stations to fewer than 1,500.
I never thought I would see human waste like this in our government be allowed to destroy us from within while the US Congress was out looking for their spine and guts.
Frying pan into fire.
Thanks for the ping!
Everthing, and by design!
Don't they have to go to school for that? Thanks bitt.
Naaah, they must have stuck some Haavard profs in there and they probably think they know everything about everything, like 'You Know Who' does....
Could someone point me to the Article/Section # of the constitution where it states the EPA is part of the judicial branch?
