NHL realignment is officially a go. The NHL Players' Association issued a statement Thursday evening that it has signed off on the league's realignment plan, with the stipulation it be re-evaluated following the 2014-15 season.
Pending the approval of the NHL Board of Governors, which is believed to be a formality, the Capitals will be in an eight-team division along with Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York Rangers, New York Islanders, New Jersey, Carolina and Columbus beginning with the 2013-14 season.
Realignment will reunite the Capitals with many of their old Patrick Division rivals; it will also force them to vie for a playoff berth against teams that have often occupied the top of the Eastern Conference in recent years.
Under the new plan, the NHL will have divisional playoffs rather than current conference playoffs. The top three teams in each division will qualify for the playoffs and the final two postseason berths will go to the teams with the most points remaining in each conference and they will represent the No. 4 seeds. That could allow for five teams to reach the playoffs from one division and three from the other.
Within one conference, the division winner with the most points will face the wild-card team with the fewest even if it requires playing in the opposite division. From there, No. 1 plays No. 4 and No. 2 plays No. 3. The winners of those series would play each other for a divisional championship; then the winners of the Atlantic and Central face off in Eastern Conference finals and the winners of the Mid-West and Pacific meet in the Western Conference finals. The champions from the Eastern and Western Conference will then meet for the Stanley Cup final.
One of the major complaints from the players about this and the league's previous proposal are the unbalanced divisions — the two Eastern divisions both have eight teams while the two Western divisions each have seven, thus making it slightly easier to reach the postseason in the West.
In the regular season, teams in the Atlantic will play 30 games against its own division – facing two teams five times and five teams four times; 24 games against the other division in the Eastern Conference – three games against every team, rotating which club has the extra home game each season; and 28 games against the Western Conference teams – once home and away.
Here's how the divisions will shake out:
Atlantic: Washington Capitals, Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers, New York Rangers, New York Islanders, New Jersey Devils, Carolina Hurricanes and Columbus Blue Jackets.
Central: Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, Detroit Red Wings, Florida Panthers, Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators, Tampa Bay Lightning and Toronto Maple Leafs.
Mid-West: Chicago Blackhawks, Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, Nashville Predators, St. Lous Blues and Winnipeg Jets.
Pacific: Anaheim Ducks, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, Phoenix Coyotes, San Jose Sharks and Vancouver Canucks.

Hey guys sorry for taking so long to get this video up, between work, family birthdays today, just a crazy day but at last I've got a few free minutes. If any of you haven't seen it yet, the video is of a visit to the set of The Tomb done by Entertainment Tonight and it features interviews with Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. They talk about The Tomb, Expendables, their careers and the state of the action genre today, definitely worth checking out!!

Collider has provided the poster for the upcoming Sylvester Stallone written and produced and Jason Statham starring action thriller HOMEFRONT. The poster was one of many showcased at the Cannes Film Festival in France. You can check out the poster to your left and click it for a larger view.
For those who need a little refresher, HOMEFRONT centres on a DEA agent (Statham) who moves his family to a small town and comes out of retirement when his family and the local community are threatened by drug traffickers. Sly wrote the film and will produce with Gary Fleder directing.
Thanks To Mike For The Update!!
On a personal note, I've taken an interest in the two White House hostage thrillers currently in development. WHITE HOUSE DOWN has Channing Tatum attached to star with Roland Emmerich directing and the other project now titled WHITE HOUSE TAKEN formerly OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN has Gerard Butler attached to star and Antoine Fuqua directing. Which one do you guys think will be better? Or will they both suck? I'm just a sucker for the 'Die Hard in a (fill in the blank) type movies".

'Aurora Rose' heroine learns the ways of her new world
The Brotherhood of Sleep have come knocking for Aurora Rose, and they're only the beginning of the evil gauntlet she has to run.
The cliffhanger at the end of the first issue of Arch Enemy Entertainment's series Aurora Rose featured the title character, a babysitting heroine destined to protect children from the real monsters in the closet, surprised by the appearance of a bunch of hooded monk dudes with knives and creepy voices.
The ensuing fight? Well, readers won't know exactly what happens for a little while in the second issue by co-writers William Wilson and Jason Stevens and artist Taylor Bills as it begins with the aftermath of what has occurred.
MORE: Download the new Honor Society song Obsession
"You're going to see Aurora go through this journey, but you're going to go through it very organically with her," Wilson says. "We deliberately didn't want to it to be a girl who automatically has everything handed to her from a character standpoint: that she can fight the forces of evil, that she has these powers. She has to grow into the situation and adapt to it."
Every Tuesday, USA TODAY will exclusively present new pages from the second issue of Aurora Rose. Arch Enemy is also teaming with the indie rock band Honor Society to give Aurora Rose fans a free download of the song Obsession until Aug. 26.
Much of the second chapter will unfold in the hospital, as everybody tries to figure out what happened in the scuffle between Aurora and the Brotherhood, including Aurora herself. "There was a witness but the witness doesn't want to talk," Wilson teases.
MORE: Read the first issue of Aurora Rose
In addition, the new issue will explore more of the brain trust of Templars in London, Aurora's grandmother Abigail, different creatures that will pose a threat to Aurora and the backstory of her parents and the family destiny. (The first issue revealed that Aurora has a twin brother, Morgan, but the creators are saving him for issue 3.)
As for how Aurora handled a bunch of the Brotherhood, Stevens says he didn't think it'd believable for her to just pull kung fu moves out of nowhere — they come later. "You're dealing with a girl who doesn't know who she is or what she represents yet or what her power is.
"A Jedi doesn't start out as a Jedi — there's a degree of training involved."
Wilson likens the situation to The Bourne Identity. "She doesn't know how she's doing what she's doing but it's her natural skill set. She's surprised by who she is more so than the situation that she's got that skill and killer instinct. Adventure runs in her veins, but she doesn't know how that's the case."
While her best friend Juju threw more punches than she did in the first issue, Aurora is getting her battle-ready technique courtesy of Bills.
"She's a fighter who has to make the best of her environment and the things at her disposal," the artist says. "She has some very creative ways to take out a monster that are a bit unconventional.
"Monsters can come up anytime anywhere and unless you're carrying a bag of weapons around to deal with it, how do you deal with it?"
The second issue contains a big personal reveal for Aurora. "If she's not confused already, she's even more confused by the end of issue 2 about what's going on because it really smacks her in the face," Stevens says.
Plus, readers will also get to know more about a mysterious man watching Aurora from afar, a guy who turns out to be a field operative for her grandmother.
"He has a lot of equipment — he's all business," Bills says. "He's definitely got good backing."
The weird monks of the Brotherhood of Sleep are all business, too, and none of it good. Bills designed them to look out of time and exactly how they did centuries before when the Templars wiped all but one of them out.
"They just have that ancient hooded pagan shadowy-looking cloak, and they're all old and wrinkled and strong but with bad teeth and somewhat grotesque," Bills says. They also all have a tattoo with a simulated closed eye, "and that's the way the Templar can identify that these people have come back."
The illustrator also designed the symbol on Aurora's hand that resembles an "A" and is the mark of her long bloodline. It has that 'sting' property where when danger's near, it starts to glow," Bills says. "We'll be seeing that glow a lot."
Stevens doesn't shy away from the fact that Aurora Rose takes a good amount of inspiration from the heroine of Buffy the Vampire Slayer— in terms of influence, he feels Aurora's like Buffy's second cousin.
However, issue 2 is where it begins to break away from the Buffy mold. The Slayer had her Scoobies, but Aurora is pretty much on her own as she realizes that she now has evil coming to the door for her, so her normal has changed pretty drastically.
Now, she has to come to terms with her place in the world.
"She has a lot more at stake because her lineage is tied into her mandate as a hero," Wilson explains. "She's forged from battle because it's something her grandmother, her father and her have all been destined to do.
"Do you accept your calling or do you run from it? That's where you're going to get to see this book take that perspective: Even if you run from it, can you really run from it or is it inevitable that you take up the mantle?"

Alrighty... I just replaced the fluid in my front diff, rear diff, and the transfer case.... and took a few pictures.
If anyone would like to see how I did it, read on.
(moderators, if this is in the wrong section, I humbly apologize)
Again, vehicle is a 2004 Escalade AWD, with 44,000 miles on it.
Before we start, let's note that I drove the front of the Escalade onto a set of ramps, and then jacked up the rear by the trailer hitch, and placed 2 jack stands under the rear area, to put the truck up in the air and level. I'm not that small, and I was able to crawl around under there with no problems.
Let's start with the front differential:
This is the drivers side of your front diff. Camera is being held near the drivers side front tire, shooting towards the passenger front tire.. looking across the front axle area, if you will.
You see two bolts there. The top one is bigger, it's a 15mm bolt. That is your FILL plug. The bottom one, the smaller one, is your DRAIN plug.
Always remove the FILL plug first, as shown here. (Don't drain it and find out the fill is stuck... that's no good.)
Fill plug is out, came out no problem. Now we remove the drain plug with a 13mm wrench. You're going to have your pan ready underneath this, because when this comes out, fluid will be draining.... the fluid will be shooting towards you a little, so factor that in your pan placement...
Fluid is draining... nice. So far, so good.
That drain plug is a magnetic plug, and hopefully you can see, there is a lot of material stuck on there....
Drain plug wiped off... lotsa stuff there. Hopefully, I did this in time. Honestly, if I had an Escalade with 25k or more miles, I would go downstairs and change that front diff fluid RIGHT NOW. Now. You're still sitting there.... get moving! Joking. Okay, moving along.... let's assume the draining is complete. Replace your drain plug, the 13mm magnetic one.
This is what we're going to use to refill the case. It's a little pumper, I have placed the correct length of hose on the pickup side, to go into a Mobil 1 75w90 bottle... I will put the long hose into the fill hole, and them pump the thing until fluid starts coming out the fill hole, indicating that the case is full to the plug hole... I've had that pump forever, I believe I initially purchased it at a marine dealer, and used it to fill up lower unit gear cases on outboard motors...
Like so. Ready to go.
Here we see I have started pumping, the fluid is flowing up the hose and into the case.
When it's full, replace the FILL bolt, the 15mm one, and you're done.
It took me around 2.5 quarts of 75w90 to fill it back up. An approximate number, there is probably some slight line loss with my long fill tube...
You're done with the front diff!! Congrats! Light a Marlboro, take a break, and get ready to move to the middle of the truck, down the centerline, behind the transmission.
Here we have the Transfer Case. This picture is shot from the rear of the truck, looking towards the front. Thus, this face of the case you are looking at faces the back of the truck. You see the two bolts there. It may not show up on the picture, but this case is actually inscribed "Drain" and "Fill". Same concept as before.
Now, you see the square holes there, and you're thinking "What size wrench is that??" Heh heh, good question.
There's your standard 3/8ths inch socket wrench, with no socket on it. Guess what?? That's the right size square.
Like so. Note that's the drain bolt... we're going to do the fill bolt first, as always.
Fill bolt is out. Case was really full, some came out. I was told at the Cadillac Dealer that that case is full of Auto-Trak II, the blue stuff. Which is $16 a quart. The factory fill, as you can see here, is ATF, Dexron III. So, save yourself some big cash, and just refill it with Dexron III (or Dexron VI) at a far lower price.
This is thinner fluid, so it will really gush when you pull the drain bolt, and it will be coming AT you, so watch it, and watch your pan placement, unless you want a faceful....
I'm sure you've got the idea here, Pull the drain bolt, let it drain, replace the drain bolt, set up your pumper, fill thru the fill hole until it comes out, replace fill bolt... These 2 bolts, like the front diff, came in & out with no problem.
This case took about 1.5 quarts to refill....
Pat yourself on the back, you have now completed 2 of the three cases!!
I've hit the picture limit, seperate post for the rear diff....
If there are mistakes here, I'm sure smarter people than me will point them out. You can save a pile of money here, with some easy work. Hope this helps someone... enjoy.

News is coming through that Newcastle United have made a late entry into the race to sign Wigan Athletic striker Arouna Kone.
Arouna Kone – Newcastle interested
It had seemed that Kone would be rejoining his former manager Roberto Martinez at Everton, but maybe with the selling of James Perch to Wigan in the last few days, the Magpies inquired about the 29 year-old Ivory Coast International.
The news is that Newcastle are willing to pay the Latics £5M for Kone, and Newcastle have been given permission to talk to the player – and this could be an alternative to signing Darren Bent from Aston Villa.
Wigan must have accepted the £5M bid made by the Magpies.
Wigan owner Dave Whelan has welcomed Newcastle into the race at the eleventh hour, and it's now based on what terms Newcastle and Everton can offer the player, and which club he wants to join.
Kone has been linked with Everton for a while, and he was expected to sign by now – but that hasn't happened, for whatever reason.
Kone was a success in his first season in the Premier League, and he has also been linked with Norwich and Swansea City, and with Premier League experience he fits the type of player wanted by Alan Pardew this summer.
Newcastle are late into the chase for this striker, and the chances of signing Kone must be slim.
Kone joined Wigan last season from Sevilla, after being on loan for the previous season at Spanish club Levante, and in 38 games he scored 13 goals for the relegated club last season.
The 5'11" striker is right footed, and he turns 30 in November, and Kone has played 39 times for the Ivory Coast with 9 goals, since making his debut back in 2004, and he has previously played at PSV, Sevilla and Hanover.

Considerable evidence demonstrates that significant dispersion exists in the prices charged for seemingly homogeneous goods. This paper adopts a simple, flexible equilibrium model of search to investigate the way the market structure influences price dispersion. Using the noisy search approach, the paper demonstrates the effects of having a single large, price-leading firm with multiple outlets and a competitive fringe of small firms with one retail outlet each.

Sept. 5, 2011
KNOXVILLE - The University of Tennessee today named Dave Hart as the school's vice chancellor and director of athletics. Hart, who was the director of athletics at Florida State University for 12 years (1995-2007), currently serves as the Executive Director of Athletics at the University of Alabama, where he leads the day-to-day operations of the department.
"I am very pleased to have Dave as our new vice chancellor and director of athletics," University of Tennessee Chancellor Jimmy Cheek said. "He has extensive experience as an athletics director, and he has the passion and drive to lead our great athletics program."
Comprehensive athletic success exemplified Hart's tenure as the Florida State athletic director, as a combined 35 ACC Championships were won by 10 different Seminole athletic programs during his tenure. Additionally, the Seminole football team won nine ACC titles and appeared in four national championship games, winning the 1999 BCS National Championship with a Sugar Bowl victory over Virginia Tech.
The men's outdoor track and field also claimed two national championships during that time, while the baseball program appeared in the College World Series five times and the softball program won nine ACC titles while playing the 2002 Women's College World Series. During Hart's last full year at Florida State, the Seminoles finished 15th in the Directors' Cup, an all-time high for the institution.
Additionally, during Hart's three years at Alabama, the Crimson Tide claimed the 2009 BCS National Championship and the individual athletic teams posted a combined eight top three finishes nationally over the last three years. He has 20 years of service as a director of athletics, including eight at East Carolina (1987-95), an athletic program he joined in 1983 after coaching and teaching at the high school following his graduation from Alabama.
"It is a privilege to be named Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics at the University of Tennessee," Hart said. "To be entrusted to lead one of the nation's elite athletic programs is an exciting opportunity.
"I want to thank Chancellor Cheek, and all of those involved in this process for their confidence and commitment. I am anxious to demonstrate my passion for Tennessee and the Volunteer Nation."
Highly respected as a visionary and industry leader, Hart's career has featured service as the president of both the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics and the Division 1A Athletics Directors' Association. A former recipient of the Robert R. Neyland Award honoring lifetime achievement, Hart has also been named by his colleagues as the Athletic Director of the Year for the Southeast Region in both 2000 and 2005, one of a few select individual to receive the honor multiple times.
During his 13 years at Florida State, Hart negotiated unprecedented, multi-million dollar contracts for the department totaling in excess of $175 million. He also devised and executed an extensive and comprehensive facilities master plan for athletics that eclipsed the $150 million mark. Hart initiated a multi-faceted Student Development/Life Skills program for all student-athletes at FSU, an endeavor recognized nationally as a "Program of Excellence" by the Division I-A Athletics Directors' Association. He spearheaded the rewriting of the department's mission statement to put the student-athlete at the core of athletic department priorities in its goal to build comprehensive excellence throughout all components of the department.
"Dave is as good an athletic director as there is in the country," legendary Florida State Head Football Coach Bobby Bowden said. "He's as sharp of an AD as I've been around in 57 years. He knows what's important, and he's a builder."
Hart took a leadership role in FSU athletics department's first major Capital Campaign, in concert with Seminole Boosters, which raised more than $75 million for athletics facilities and served as the catalyst for a subsequent effort. Within the Facilities Master Plan, there were several state-of-the-art facilities constructed, including a soccer/softball facility, a state-of-the-art Golf Facility and Teaching Center, a Basketball Training Center, and major renovations to the tennis and volleyball facilities.
Additionally, the Moore Athletics Center and Dick Howser Baseball Stadium are among the nation's best, while a new aquatics facility and a renovation to the track building were finalized in 2008.
In recognizing Hart's position within intercollegiate athletics, ACC Commissioner John Swofford said, "Dave Hart is one of the best and most respected athletics administrators in the business. He thoroughly understands the nuances of major college athletics, and he has superb values to go along with his vast experience in the field. He is a proven leader at the conference and national levels."
While at FSU, Hart made many key head coaching hires, including the hiring of FSU's first African-American basketball coach in Leonard Hamilton. Under Hart's direction, FSU formalized a varsity club to encourage the participation of former student-athletes in athletic department activities. He also placed a significant focus on the growth of women's athletics at FSU, a commitment reflected in increased funding, competitive success and facility upgrades.
Academic success also accompanied Hart's time at FSU, as the school became home to the inaugural National Student-Athlete of the Year, a State of Florida Woman of the Year recipient and a Rhodes Scholar. A record number of FSU student-athletes made the ACC Academic Honor Roll, were recipients of NCAA post-graduate scholarship awards and obtained degrees. Student-athlete community service involvement became a priority under Hart with student-athletes contributing more than 5,000 hours in community outreach projects.
Hart has also earned the Athletics Directors' Award for advancing the quality and progress of student-athletes and the athletics program while at Florida State, and in 2008, he received the James J. Corbett Award, the highest honor bestowed by NACDA.
Hart's commitment to service includes considerable time on numerous national and conference committees, including the NCAA Council, the NCAA Honors and Awards Committee and the NCAA Special Events and Postseason Bowls Committee, and he has consulted to the NCAA Student-Athlete Advisory Council.
"Highly respected by his peers, Dave Hart brings a wealth of experience and knowledge gained from his journey as a student-athlete, coach, administrator, and leader," said Joe Castiglione, Director of Athletics at the University of Oklahoma. "Dave and his wife, Pam, truly value people and the positive impact each person can make toward the success of a program.
"The wonderful fans of Tennessee will enjoy building these new relationships together as all work to enhance the future of Volunteer athletics."
Hart was one of 11 athletic directors nationally who worked as an advisory group to presidents and conference commissioners in ongoing meetings and discussions regarding Bowl Championship Series (BCS) format options and similar issues related to the football postseason. In addition to his prominent leadership roles nationally, Hart had direct involvement with the renegotiations of both of the ACC's football and basketball television contracts and chaired the ACC Television Committee as well as the ACC Men's Basketball and Football committees.
Hart also played an integral role in the ACC expansion process that resulted in the addition of three new members in Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College. He also served as Vice Chairman of the NCAA Football Board of Directors where he represented NACDA and served with commissioners of Division I-A conferences as well as past NCAA President Myles Brand.
Hart has served as Executive Director of Athletics at Alabama since August of 2008. Hart joined the UA Athletic Department after serving as an advisor to the Atlantic Coast Conference and ACC Commissioner John Swofford. A 1971 Alabama graduate, Hart played basketball for the Crimson Tide under legendary head coach C.M.

How to Install Outdoor Lighting
Installing outdoor lighting can increase both the style and safety of your home's exterior. See how you can extend your landscape's open hours, and learn how to install outdoor lighting with our step-by-step instructions for outdoor wiring.
There are many uses and types of outdoor lighting. Use outdoor walkway lights to guide guests to and from your home. LED lights, frequently used in landscape lighting, have greater lifespans and durability to illuminate your yard for longer. Exterior light fixtures brighten doorways and garages for increase function and fashion. Here, we'll show you how to install outdoor low-voltage lighting.
Lay Out the Cable
1. Following your landscape lighting plan, mark the cable locations in your yard with agricultural lime. This step allows you to plan the placement of the cable so it avoids natural barriers. Pinpoint the fixture locations with dowels or stakes.
2. Lay the cable. It's safe to lay low-voltage cable directly on the ground, but it's more attractive if it is buried. If you decide to bury the cable, dig a narrow trench along the chalk line. Place the cable in the trench, leaving a 1-foot loop at the transformer and a loop at each fixture location. If cable stretches along the underside of a deck, for example, you can staple the cable in place (see Photo 1), leaving loops for all connections. Take care not to puncture the cable when stapling it in place.
Add FixturesPhoto 2
Follow this method to attach any low-voltage landscape lighting to the cable:
3. Cut through the cable to prepare for attaching a light fixture to the circuit. Study the cut end of the cable, and you'll notice two separately insulated conductors. Cut or pull the cable apart so that the two conductors can be stripped. Using a wire stripper, strip the insulation off the conductors to expose 3/4 inch of wire at the end (Photo 2). Note that you need to strip the cable that leads into the light fixture as well as the cable that leads away from the fixture. Strip the insulation off the fixture's wires to prepare to connect to the low-voltage wire. (Practice stripping the insulation so that you can strip it cleanly without nicking the wires.)
4. To make the wire connections that bring power to a light fixture, take one stripped conductor from the 12-volt cable leading into the light fixture, and one stripped conductor from the 12-volt cable leading away from the light fixture. Hold the wires side by side, twist them together to ensure a good connection, and screw a wire nut over the wires (Photo 3). Make sure that no bare conductors are exposed and that all wires are locked in. Repeat this procedure with the remaining three wires.
6. The cable should end at a light fixture. When wiring the last light fixture, twist two pairs of wires together (one pair from the light fixture and one pair from the cable) rather than the three pairs needed for a light fixture wired in place along the circuit. Do not run the cable beyond the last light fixture. If you decide to add fixtures later, simply unwire the last connections and add a new cable.
Safety Notes: If your transformer will be located outside, make sure it is watertight. Do not plug the transformer into the outlet until all wiring connections are complete. Make sure the transformer is protected by a fuse or circuit breaker.
7. After wiring the fixtures in place, connect the cable's two conductors to the transformer. Wire one conductor to the wire marked 0, and wire the other conductor to a 12-, 13-, or 14- volt line. If you are bringing several cables into the transformer, always connect one conductor from each cable to the 0 line and wire the other conductor to a cable.
8. After all wiring connections are made, plug the low-voltage outdoor lighting transformer into a timer (if you want your lights to come on and go off automatically at various times), and plug the timer into the outlet. Check all the system fixtures to make sure each is operating correctly. Adjust the direction of lights, if necessary. The location of a fixture can be easily adjusted without rewiring if there is enough extra cable near the fixture.
9. If a fixture does not light, check the bulb first. If the bulb is good, check the electrical connections. Dim bulbs are an indication that the bulb is not receiving enough electricity; make sure the length of the cable run does not exceed manufacturer's recommended length. If the entire system fails to light, check the circuit breaker on the transformer.

Two wind power companies were among the biggest gainers on the Hong Kong stock exchange yesterday, after the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) approved four wind power projects totalling 57.2 billion yuan (HK$71.1 billion).
The share price of Huaneng Renewables rose 6.67 per cent yesterday, making it the third-biggest gainer among Hong Kong-listed companies with market capitalisation of HK$5 billion or more.
China Datang Corp Renewable Power's shares rose 4.4 per cent, making it the seventh-biggest gainer.
The NDRC announced yesterday it had approved a 24.2 billion yuan wind power project in Jiuquan prefecture, Gansu province.
The project comprises eight wind farms, with a total installed capacity of three gigawatts, to be invested in and built by eight firms, including China Guodian, a state-controlled power firm.
Approval was also given to a 16.18 billion yuan wind power project in the city of Hami in Xinjiang, comprising 10 wind farms, with a total installed capacity of 2GW, to be invested in and built by 10 firms, including CLP, a Hong Kong-listed power firm.
The commission also approved a 13.59 billion yuan wind power project in Baotou city, Inner Mongolia.
That project will comprise seven wind farms, with a total installed capacity of 1.4GW, and will be invested in and built by seven firms, including China Huadian, a state-owned power company.
Also in Inner Mongolia, the NDRC approved a 3.23 billion yuan wind power project with an installed capacity of 400.5 megawatts in Chifeng city, to be invested in and built by Datang Renewable.
"China's impressive growth in wind capacity in recent years is mainly a result of the government's focus and commitment to developing the sector," a Deutsche Bank report said. "China aims to consume 15 per cent of its primary energy from non-fossil fuels by 2020."
However, the report said, "China wind developers have been plagued by a multitude of headwinds in the past 12 months".
These problems include wind farm accidents and lower than expected utilisation rates in Inner Mongolia and the northeastern provinces.
At the present rate of wind power growth and development of grid connections, Deutsche Bank forecasts the mainland's wind power capacity will exceed 120GW by 2015 and 200GW by 2020.
A total wind power capacity of 18GW was added last year on the mainland, which has the greatest wind power capacity in the world, the bank said.
The country's wind power capacity exceeds that of its nearest rival, the United States, by more than 15GW, the report said.

The North Carolina wrestling squad will be in search of its first ACC dual win of the season on Friday when the Tar Heels host rival NC State at Carmichael Arena at 7 p.m.
The Tar Heels own a 4-6 dual record on the season and are 0-3 in ACC duals, while NC State has posted a 3-3 dual mark and is 0-2 in the ACC.
Carolina captured the dual against NC State a year ago with a 20-18 win in Raleigh and are undefeated in its last seven meetings.
The Tar Heels have won six straight duals against the Wolfpack, dating back to a 16-16 tie in the 2006 season.
The duo of sophomore Evan Henderson and freshman Nathan Kraisser have paced the Tar Heels in 2013 and both enter the weekend ranked among the top seven in the country.
The top rankings mark the first time since Oct. 9, 2006 that two Carolina wrestlers have been ranked among the top seven in the country at the same time. Spencer Nodolsky and Evan Sola were the last pair to be ranked among the top seven in the nation for the Tar Heels.
Henderson checks in at No. 6 this week in the InterMat rankings at 141 lbs and has won four-straight matches and six of his last seven. The New Florence, Pa., native is 3-0 thus far in ACC competition.
Kraisser has burst onto the scene for the Tar Heels and is 26-4 in his first campaign. The Ellicott City, Md., native has won seven straight and 11 of his last 12.
The only meeting between the projected starters came at the Wolfpack Open between Henderson and NC State's Tyler Hunt as Henderson claimed a 16-5 major decision en route to the title.

Right before the top of the ninth inning, representatives from the Huntsman Cancer Institute stood on the field at Spring Mobile Ballpark, happily accepting a check for $7,030 from the Salt Lake Bees and team sponsors, all clad in bright pink.
Looking back on Saturday night's Bees game, that's part of what will be most memorable: the donations to help eradicate breast cancer, thousands of fans supporting the cause with their admission and bubble-gum-colored shirts, and cancer survivors standing shoulder to shoulder, singing the national anthem.
The baseball will likely be fairly forgettable. And that's all the better for the Bees (15-15), who would probably like to forget the 9-3 loss to the Tuscon Padres (12-17) pretty quickly. A night of iffy bullpen performances and not enough production at the plate added to a painfully long contest for Salt Lake.
"It's just one of those nights," manager Keith Johnson said. "We've been playing good ball, and we had a little good streak after a not-so-good streak. There were a couple choppers that got over guys' heads, a couple broken bats that got in for hits. … The innings kind of got away from us a little bit.
Starter Kip Wells gave the Bees a solid first step, getting out of a few jams to allow only one run through four innings. But he tired in the fifth, and ended up giving up two more runs. Reliever Rob Delaney gave up another.
But the game would have been manageable if not for a back-breaking sixth, when relievers Elvin Ramirez and David Carpenter combined to give up two hits, four walks and four runs. The Bees struggled to find a steady answer in the bullpen until Jeremy Berg stepped in during the seventh, and even he gave up six hits.
That, paired with underperforming bats, undid the Bees. The team scraped together seven hits, three of them in the bottom of the ninth when the game was all but out of reach. Trent Oeltjen led the team, going 2 for 3 with a single and a triple, while Jimmy Swift gave persistent fans a reason to cheer with a ninth-inning homer.
Johnson said he wasn't altogether worried about the result, and had faith that his players would be prepared for the early Sunday turnaround.
For him, being a part of the night's greater event was meaningful, even if it didn't include a victory.
"Obviously we would've liked to make a better showing and win the game give them something to cheer about late," he said. "But that being said, it's just a great opportunity for people to share their story and for us to possibly provide a little bit of relief for whatever baseball does for someone."

When you talk about your staff, the manager doesn't usually include himself in that – but not Alan Pardew – who has thanked his staff for getting Remy Cabella through the door – and hey, that includes thanking himself.
Alan Pardew – pays tribute to his staff – and himself 😀
This is some of what Alan Pardew had to say to nufcTV on the Cabella signing:
"I'd like to pay tribute to my staff and in particular Graham Carr, myself, Lee Charnley, Mike Ashley and everyone on the board, who worked really hard for this one."
"We think he is a player who is important, obviously that is represented in the fee and in his commitment to us as well." "I'm just looking forward to seeing an exciting talent in the team, somebody who can open the door."
Alan will come in for criticism for this – but hey – the fact of the matter is it's team work that gets players through the door, and Alan will have played a part in getting Cabella on Tyneside, so if he wants to thank himself – so be it.
We also have had a good feeling about Lee Charnley as a man who gets things done (believe me – they are worth their weight in gold in any organization), and it seems Lee is starting to deliver the goods.
It's looking like we can sign Daryl Janmaat from Feyenoord very soon, and maybe also 24 year-old striker Emmanuel Riviere from Monaco – but we still need two more top strikers brought in and a midfield play-maker – because we are not convinced that Remy Cabella will be the replacement for Yohan Cabaye.
We really hope we can go back in for Clement Grenier of Lyon – the 23 year-old would be a terrific signing for us.
What do you think?
Note: Sean Borland has a student season ticket and since he will be away in Calgary studying for a while he wants to sell his season ticket for the first half of the season. The price is £140 – which is what he paid for it – you can contact Sean at firstname.lastname@example.com

Policing in Cambodia : legitimacy in the making?
Broadhurst, Roderic G. & Bouhours, Thierry (2009) Policing in Cambodia : legitimacy in the making? Policing and Society, 19(2), pp. 174-190.
|PDF (108kB)
Analyses of police statistics, newspaper reports, and United Nations international crime victim surveys (UNICVS) are used to describe trends in crime, and changes in perceptions of security, corruption and confidence in police in post-conflict Cambodia. These data show that both violent crimes (including homicides and police or vigilante killings) and property crimes have declined. Modest reductions in fear of crime are observed but confidence in police has not improved, although 'street-level' corruption is less frequent. Corruption, elite crime and consumer fraud remain serious problems consistent with Cambodia's 'fragile state' status. The emergence of juvenile and drug related crime reflects demographic changes and the impact of modernisation (and urbanisation) on cultural practices. The role of modernisation and democratic transition in shaping the form, response to and extent of crime is discussed, as well as the effect of international aid focussed on criminal justice assistance.

Palliser Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2011
Sauvignon Blanc from Martinborough, New Zealand
Winemaker's Notes
Brilliant straw-yellow color with green hues and a pale rim. The bouquet is full, open and voluminous with fresh and powerful passionfruit aromas along with gooseberries, lime fruit and flinty minerals that blossom. Dry to taste, the palate has layers of rich, pungent passionfruit and grapefruit flavours with ripe capsicums and fresh herbs that fill the mouth. The acidity is restrained and a fine textural thread provides line and length, leading to a soft, richly nuanced finish.
This is an openly accessible and flavorsome Sauvignon with drive and concentration to match salads, vegetables and rich poultry dishes.
Critical Acclaim
International Wine Cellar - "Lovely lift to the aromas of lemon oil and grapefruit. Supple and generous, with a distinct sweetness to its very ripe yellow fruit flavors. Finishes generous and persistent."
Wine Spectator - "Peach blossom and yellow apple notes are fragrant and rich, with toasted herb and hay notes. A touch of petrol balances the juicy citrus flavors."
Palliser Estate Winery
The first Palliser Estate vines were planted more than 20 years ago, in 1984. Today, Palliser wines are served in some of the world's finest restaurants and enjoyed by thousands of people every day.
Winemaker Allan Johnson produces consistently superb wines, which reflect Palliser's prime vineyard sites in Martinborough. Their two brands – Palliser Estate and Pencarrow – offer a comprehensive portfolio of wines, including Chardonnay, Methode Traditionelle, Noble Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris. View all Palliser Estate Wines
About MartinboroughView a map of Martinborough wineries (mahr-tin-bore-ooh)
Situated on the southern tip of the North Island, Martinborough is just across the strait from Marlborough. Martinborough is a town, as well as a region within Wairarapa, which, in turn, is located within the region of Wellington. Just to add more confusion, Wellington is also the name of the city there, the capital of New Zealand. Sometimes the names of these three regions are interchanged, but know that all three names mean the wine has come from the bottom tip of New Zealand's North Island.
Notable FactsThe grape making the most splash from the area is Pinot Noir. It is the region's most planted variety and the one getting the most attention. However, being that it's the neighbor of Sauvignon Blanc land, Marlborough, it uses these climate similarities to produce delicious wines from that grape as well.
About New ZealandThe country of New Zealand is about 1000 miles from the coast of Australia. It consists of two long islands, end to end, that are approximately the same length as California. Most of the country's climate is maritime due to the abundant coastline. The northern island is warmer and wetter, while the southern island is cooler and dryer. The most popular grapes of New Zealand are Sauvignon Blanc (made most famous by the bright, crisp wines coming out of Marlborough), Chardonnay and the ever-growing Pinot Noir.

Front Tow Hooks
Well, I found myself a nice weekend project on Craigslist today. Some guy was selling WJ front tow hooks and hardware for $25. So I jumped all over them. Now I have a couple questions and I haven't gotten under my Jeep to look at anything. Here's what I have:
The first thing I noticed was that it came with 2 big bolts (w/ nuts) and 3 smaller bolts. The hooks have holes for 6 bolts. I'm assuming I'm missing a bolt and it's one of the smaller ones. Can anyone confirm this? Also, does anyone know what type of bolt it is?
Second, does anyone have a picture of the front of their WJ w/ the tow hooks? I would like to see were they are mounted.
Lastly, anyone have any instructions on mounting these? They were an option on the WJ so I'm assuming I won't have to drill any holes or cut the bumper cover.
Any advice I could get on these before I get to installing on Saturday would be appreciated.
Re: Front Tow Hooks
Here ya go.
Hope this helps. Looks like you might also be missing a plate that the bolts go through that sits on the frame too. I don't know how needed they are. I installed a brushguard on my WJ, kinda similar install, and the bolts just attached to brackets and then nuts on the other side of the frame to hold them in place. As far as drilling holes or cutting bumper there is no need for that. I didn't have to, all the holes are there. But when you remove bumper there are these 1 time use plastic rivets in the wheel wells that you are going to bust removing them. You can buy some more and replace that way. Or I took some black zipties to hold the bumper back in place, and I cut them down. You wouldn't even notice that they are there, even with me telling you and you looking haha. Good Luck
Re: Front Tow Hooks
Re: Front Tow Hooks
this is what you should have minus the rivets
you are missing the brackets and 3 bolts
the bolts are M10x1.50x32mm (grade 10.9) hex head bolts with washers
if you are going to use the for pulling anything get the right hardware so the hooks dont coming flying out and damaging your jeep, whatever your pulling,and people around you
the plates will cost you about $16 each and the bolts are a few bucks at a hardware store just make sure they are grade 10.9
Re: Front Tow Hooks
I am under the impression you don't want to use just any bolt from the hardware store. OEM bolts are about $6 ea. When I inquired why, I was told they were hardened steel. This made sense to me. A lot of regular bolts you can buy from the hardware stores these days aren't made from the best metals. Many are made in China using cheap material and cheap processes. It's up to you if you want to take a chance, but it's like what was said above, "if you are going to use them for pulling anything, get the right hardware so the hooks dont coming flying out and damaging your jeep, whatever your pulling,and people around you".
Re: Front Tow Hooks
I used ANSYS (Engineering stress analysis program) to model these tow hooks. I made a model of how they come from the factory (ie, w/ the plates) and I made a model of them using large washers instead of the plates (how I have mine).
There is no significant difference. The fact is that the bolts are mostly in shear when the hooks are used. If they were primarly in tension, the plates would help to properly distribute the load to the subframe. But that's not the case. What IS important is that you use the correct bolts to attach the hooks. Like you said, you don't want to pick up any bolts b/c they can easily fail.
I've had them on my Jeep for almost 2 months. I've gotten it stuck in the mud MANY times (stock Jeep w/ highway tires worn to the wear bars) and pulled it out. Never had any problems and the bolts show no sign of deformation.
Re: Front Tow Hooks
Question: can thos hooks be detached from that 3 legged mounting bracket fairly easily?
By removing the 2 nuts..And are those threaded posts welded (peremantly attached) to the 3 legged mount, or not?
Re: Front Tow Hooks
From my memory you have 2 "parts" to each tow hook. One part is the hook itself and the other is the 3 legged mounting bracket. The hook is held to the mounting bracket via 2 bolts and nuts. I know when I got mine they were loose so I put a wrench on each side and tightened them. I would imagine if you removed the nuts they would come apart.
Re: Front Tow Hooks
exactly what i meant. thanks..i wondered if the 2 bolts were attached to the bracket..or if they could actually come off.
my thoughts were using that 3 legged mounting bracket as a base for creating a d-ring mount in place of the hooks

Air in the lines and pressure issue
Good morning everyone. I hope this find you well. I am in the process of selling my home and I have a bit of a concern when it comes time to have it inspected. It seems that every time that I go into the kitchen to turn on the water, after a moment, the water will act like it has air in the line. This is a brand new house, we bought new, but is going on 6 years old. I would think that the air in the lines would be flushed out by now.
The second, and main, concern is that the water pressure in the house just is not up to speed with everything else. We can run the washer, dishwasher together but we probably shouldn't take a shower or use the sinks. The water is very low then. We CANNOT water the front yard and the back yard (via spiggots) at the same time. We can't water the front/back yard and run something inside. The water pressure will be greatly reduced if we do.
Is there a correlation between the "air in the line" and the water pressure? Could it be that there is a crimp in the line somewhere or is it that it's a new house and the plumbing is smaller in diameter?
I've heard of doing a high PSI blow in the pipes to possibly dislodge some blockage. Do you think that is a good idea?
Thanks for you time.
We need some more info, are you on a well system or are you supplied with water from the town? Do you know what pressure you have with nothing turned on and what pressure your getting with the kitchen faucet turned on? What is the greatest distance from where the line come into the house to the furthest fixture?
If the house is only 6 years old, there shouldn't been any problems with the piping unless there is debris in the line from the time of installation. Its not air, but maybe a foreign object is lodged in an elbow somewhere. Is there a strainer in your service line?
1) This is water in a normal subdivision with the water meters (main line) in front of my house.
2) I don't know what the pressure is without anything turned on. When we first moved in a few years ago, the water company came over and showed me the guage readings at the meter and at the spiggot. The meter was very powerful and the spigot was very low.
3) The furthest distance between where the line comes in to the spiggot is maybe 50-65 feet.
I kind of think that there some type of debris in the lines. What is it that I have to do to get this taken care of?
Oh--and just so you know--I CANNOT run the front spiggot the same time that the back spiggot is on. It offsets each other. Most houses are able to run 2 sprinklers at the same time, right? Not me.
IF you do have debris in the line, the best way to find it is to map your piping layout on a piece of paper and do some trial and error to see if any fixtures are not effected by the water pressure drop. Start at the furthest fixture and work your way to the meter testing one at a time, testing hot and cold separately. Does your hot water also loose pressure? if so, the clog might be before the take off to the water heater, if your hot water is fine, but your cold water drops, the debris would be after the water heater take off, if its both hot and cold, then it could be between the meter and the water heater and so on. If the front spiggot is right after the meter, test that line by itself, and if you don't see the same problems your getting at other faucets, then the issue is after the tee to the spiggot feed. test every single faucet and fixture by itself at full flow to see if you get the same problem like at the kitchen sink. If every single fixture is having problems, then your clog will be close to the meter. If you go through this exercise, you should be able to narrow down the problem to a small section of piping which would need further inspection or if you can isolate that section and blow compressed air backwards through that section to clear it out.
If you do this and still can't figure it out, the only recommendation I can make would be to shut down the water at the meter, drain the system, disconnect the line on the house side of the meter, shut off the valve to the water heater and any valves that tee off the main line to other fixtures that are working fine, then go to the furthest fixture and disconnect the cold water side, hook up a compressor to blow compressed air backwards through the piping system to see if anything comes out the open pipe at the other end by the meter. Let it run for a couple minutes while someone else is watching the open end on the other side. I'm assuming your piping system is copper for this to work. You don't nessessarily need high pressure air, you just need a compressor that can flow a good amount of CFM.

Mental is a knockabout black comedy from Australia that starts off exhilaratingly mad and funny, then progressively loses its edge. It brings director PJ Hogan back together with Toni Collette for the first time since Muriel's Wedding in 1994.
Rebecca Gibney plays Shirley, a neglected suburban wife and mother who is on the verge of a breakdown, unable to think about anything but The Sound of Music, the opening of which is hilariously recreated in her garden. Her five daughters are also neurotically obsessed with their own lack of mental health. Her philandering husband Barry (Anthony LaPaglia) hires a motormouth badass called Shaz (Collette) to be their nanny, and she shakes up these non-Von Trapps.
Opinion will divide as to whether there is offence to be taken here on the subject of mental health. My opinion is no, but as the saccharine taste builds up faintly towards the end, it's a close-run thing. It's always a pleasure to see Collette, a performer who always cranks up the energy, and yet here, as so often, she gives the impression of a ferocious screen intelligence somehow not being used to the full.

Hambly signs three stars for 2013
Champaign, Ill. - The Fighting Illini volleyball team has signed three top players to the 2013 freshman class, Katie Roustio, Katie Stadick and Michelle Strizak. The Illini bring in two outside hitters and a middle blocker, each hailing from a different state: Illinois, Wisconsin and Ohio, respectively.
"The 2013 class fills a some needs for the program and adds depth to the young Illini team," said Head Coach Kevin Hambly. "There is potential for a couple of these players to start in the 2013 season. The group is long and athletic and have played on teams that have competed at high levels both in club and high school. We are looking forward to them joining the program next season."
Name: Katie Roustio
Position: Outside/Right-Side Hitter
Height: 6' 2"
Hometown: O'Fallon, Illinois
High School: O'Fallon Township
Club Teams: High Performance (2012); Southwestern Illinois (2009-11)
Katie Roustio comes to the Illini from O'Fallon, Ill., where she led the O'Fallon Township Panthers to Regional Championships in 2009 and 2012. In four seasons at O'Fallon Township High School, Roustio totaled 1,468 kills, 1,232 digs, 210 service aces and 220 blocks. She averaged 4.99 kills per set, 4.19 digs per set, 0.71 aces and 0.75 blocks, hitting at least .300 in three of her four seasons. The 6-2 outsidehitter played three seasons for Head Coach Erin LeGendre, before being led by Melissa Massey her senior year.
A three-time All-Southwethern Conference First Team and Belleville News-Democrat Large School All-Area First Team honoree, she was named first-team all-state as a sophomore and junior and earned a special mention following her freshman year. In her first season at O'Fallon Township, the Panthers went 28-10-1 and captured the Regional Championship title, and Roustio garnered the SouthernIllinois Volleyball Association Sportsmanship Award. This past fall, the Panthers went 31-7, and captured a second Regional Championship title, led by Roustio's 17 kills and three aces in the championship match.
Roustio also has several seasons of club volleyball under her belt, including three years with Southwestern Illinois (SWIC) and spending 2012 with High Performance under Head Coach Bob Crack. Roustio was named to the PrepVolleyball.com "Frosh 59" and "Sophomore 79" lists, then to the "Top 85" list for junior recruits in 2011 and to the "Senior Aces" list this fall. Additionally, she was named to the AVCA/Under Armour High School All-America watch list as a senior. Roustio also has three seasons of basketball under her belt at O'Fallen Township, leading the team in rebounds and blocked shots all three years.
"Katie Roustio is an extremely physical outside hitter," said Coach Hambly. "She has a great arm and puts up a great block. She was looked at in high school to score and has shown the ability to score points. She too will be looked upon to develop into a six rotation outside hitter."
Name: Katie Stadick
Position: Middle Blocker
Height: 6' 3"
Hometown: Watertown, Wisconsin
High School: Watertown Unified High School
Club Team: Milwaukee Sting
Katie Stadick will join the Illini as a 6-3 middle blocker from Watertown, Wis. Stadick will be the first Illinois volleyball player from Wisconsin since the 1994 season. A four-year starter for Watertown Unified High School, Stadick led the Goslings to three WI Little Ten Conference titles and the 2011 WIAA Division I State Semifinals. Stadick tallied 1,864 kills, 584 digs, 495 blocks, 80 assists and 91 aces over 190 matches, including 644 kills (5.55/set) as a senior. After hitting .298 as a freshman right-side hitter, Stadick switched to middle blocker her sophomore year, under coach Travis Hull, where she hit .476 with 526 kills. That year, she was named third-team all-state, second-team all-conference and earned an honorable mention on the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel All-Area team, as well as earning a spot on the PrepVolleyball.com "Soph 79" list. She then went on to be named First Team WVCA All-State, first-team all-conference, and WI Little Ten Player of the Year in both 2011 and 2012, adding a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel First Team All-Area selection as a junior.
Outside of school, Stadick played for the Milwaukee Sting, who placed second at AAU Nationals (open division) in 2011 and fifth in 2009. She was an AAU 15U All-American in 2009 and an AAU 17U All-American in 2011. Additionally, she was ranked #51 on the PrepVolleyball.com "Top 100 Senior Aces" list.
A member of a volleyball family, both of her parents, Judy (varsity) and Bill Stadick (club), playedvolleyball at Wheaton College. Her older sister, Deb, graduated from Iowa State last spring after playing four years of volleyball for the Cyclones, and her brother Rob plays club volleyball at Wheaton College. Her younger brother, Scott (14), also plays club volleyball.
"Katie Stadick is an extremely long, competitive, high flying middle blocker," said Hambly. "She is a prototypical middle blocker; she has a blue collar mentality, is extremely quick laterally and off the floor. She will be an effective attacker both in front and behind the setter."
Name: Michelle Strizak
Position: Outside Hitter
Height: 6' 1"
Hometown: Cincinnati, Ohio
High School: Mount Notre Dame
Club Teams: Cincy Classics (2012-13); Team Z (2007-11)
Michelle Strizak, a 6-1 outside hitter, hails from Cincinnati, Ohio. A four-year starter at Mount Notre Dame High School under Head Coach Joe Burke, Strizak led the Cougers to four sectional championships, four district championships, three Greater Girls Cincinnati League championships, and three regional finals appearances, including the 2011 regional championship, followed by the 2011 state championship.
Strizak began her career as an opposite hitter, and was named to the PrepVolleyball.com "Freshman 59" list. After switching to outside hitter in 2010, Strizak was named First-Team All-GGCL, first-team all-district and second-team all-state, as well as being named to the Cincinnati Enquirer First Team and the PrepVolleyball.com "Sophomore 79" list. In 2011, she was named GGCL, district and Cincinnati Enquirer Player of the Year, first-team all-state, and the Women's Sports Association Volleyball Player of the Year. Additionally, she was one of five finalists for PrepVolleyball.com Junior of the Year and runner-up for Ohio Gatorade Player of the Year. Following her final season at Mount Notre Dame, the 6-1outside hitter was once against named GGCL and district Player of the Year and first-team all-state, and was ranked #22 on the PrepVolleyball.com "Top 100 Senior Aces" list.
In four seasons at Mount Notre Dame, Strizak accumulated 1,288 kills, 882 digs, 165 blocks, 161 service aces and 26 assists through 97 matches. In her final three seasons, she averaged4.78 kills, 3.43 digs, 0.63 aces and 0.50 blocks per set, appearing in 249 sets in 77 matches.
The Cincinnati native spent twoseasons with the national training team, finishing third at the 2010 High Performance Championships with the USA Girls Youth National Training Team, and coming in fourth at the 2012 High Performance Championships with the USA Women's Junior National Training Team.
"Michelle Strizak is a high flying outside/setter," said Hambly. "She is extremely long and has a great vertical. She has played literally every position on the court (with the exception of libero), both in club and highschool. That versatility will allow her to play several different roles early in her career, but she will be looked at to be a six rotation outside hitter."

Warming Threatens to Cut Crop Yields
Posted on Aug 2, 2014
By Kieran Cooke, Climate News Network
This piece first appeared at Climate News Network.
Square, Story page, 2nd paragraph, mobile
A new US study, published in the journal Environmental Letters, assesses the odds of a major slowdown in global food production over the next 20 years.
Overall, the study's authors say, the likelihood of a sharp drop in yields of crops vital to food supply, such as wheat and maize, is "not very high"—but global warming does markedly increase the chance of such events happening. The risk to global food supplies is about 20 times greater when man-made climate change is taken into account.
"Climate change has substantially increased the prospect that crop production will fail to keep up with rising demand in the next 20 years," says Claudia Tebaldi, a research scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research and a co-author of the study.

Tebaldi, together with David Lobell, an associate director of the Center on Food Security and the Environment at California's Stanford University, used computer models of global climate trends, together with data on weather patterns and crops, to calculate the odds of a major downturn in food supplies.
"I'm often asked whether climate change will threaten food supply, as if it's a simple yes or no answer," Lobell says.
"The truth is that, over a period of 10 or 20 years, it depends largely on how fast the Earth warms, and we can't predict the pace of warming very precisely. So the best we can do is try to determine the odds."
Yields of crops such as maize and wheat have typically increased by between one and two per cent a year over recent decades. This trend, says the study, needs to be maintained to cope with population growth, greater per capita food consumption, and the increased use of crops for biofuels.
The authors of the study—which was funded by the US government's National Science Foundation and the US Department of Energy—found that under what they term natural climate shifts, the odds on that trend slowing up to 2030 were only 1 in 200.
Global food supplies
However, when human-induced global warming is taken into account, the odds shorten to one in 10 for a slowing in yields of maize and one in 20 for wheat production. Such cutbacks, says the study, would have a major impact on global food supplies at a time when demand is growing sharply.
Tebaldi and Lobell say an increase of 1?C in temperature is capable of slowing maize yields by 7% and wheat yields by 6%, although there are regional variations to these figures.
The study says a slowdown in yields of maize and wheat could, in theory, be offset by shifting planting to cooler regions, but there is little sign that such shifts are happening—at least not quickly enough to take account of warmer temperatures.
"We can't predict whether a major slowdown in crop growth will actually happen, and the odds are still fairly low," says Tebaldi.
"But climate change has increased the odds to the point that organisations concerned with food security or global stability need to be aware of this risk."
