Listed renewable energy company
On Monday, the company revealed plans to develop 3000 megawatts of renewable power generation capacity alongside mammoth Asian energy partners China Datang Renewable Power and Baoding Tianwei Baobian Electric over the next eight years.
The projects, primarily wind powered, will be built under the new joint venture called AusChina Energy Development.
"I am not sure a price on carbon is a way forward for our business," CBD Energy managing director
"I'm not necessarily a believer that we need a carbon tax. What we want is stability of policy."
The joint venture will make its first final investment decision this week on its 100 megawatt wind farm project at Taralga in NSW.
But the wind power business is currently fraught with delays as Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) – the key incentive for capacity increase in the sector – fail to stimulate investment.
The RECs are commodities created by renewable energy producers as they generate power.
Mr McGowan said the government needs to provide more certainty around the price of RECs.
"We need stability around the REC price, and we don't think that is there," he said.
"We are building 25-year assets within our group, and we can't have government changing policy every election cycle."

Ale Hatfield
b.29 Oct 1779 Washington County?, Virginia
d.10 Nov 1841 Greene County, Indiana
Family tree▼
m. abt 1763
m. abt 1798
m. 7 Apr 1836
Facts and Events
Name Origin
"Ale" is an unusual given name but it appears frequently among the earlier generations of the branch of the Hatfield family that originated in Virginia. It may be a corruption or regional variant of "Eli" (and is sometimes spelled that way by court clerks and census enumerators), but the pronunciation in the family is always A-lee, with a long 'A' and emphasis on the first syllable.
There's another factor in the origin of Ale's name, which actually bears on the family's early history in Virginia. Ale's father, Joseph, took as his 2nd wife Rachel Smith, daughter of Euricus Smith of Wilmington, Delaware. Euricus and his several sons (Rachel's brothers) were near neighbors of Joseph Hatfield's family and they knew each other long before Joseph married Rachel. And one of Rachel's brothers was named Ale (he also appears in various documents as "Ely" and "Eli"). This Smith family was German-Swedish (the surname was Smidt two generations earlier), and one must wonder whether "Ale" is actually German or Swedish in origin.
Ale was the youngest of the six children of Joseph Hatfield by his first wife, Elizabeth Vance. Almost nothing is known of his early life. He married Milly Gibson c.1798, when he was about 19, then moved from southwest Virginia to Wayne County, Kentucky, where he appears in the 1810 and 1820 censuses. By the 1830 census, he was in Fentress County, Tennessee, and by the 1840 census, he was in Greene County, Indiana. The recorded (or purported) places of birth of his children, however, are confused and contradictory, with several supposedly born in Campbell County, Tennessee, before 1810 and between 1810 and 1820. The memoir written by Ale's son, Emanuel, says he and his father migrated to Greene County in the fall of 1831, but two other of Ale's children were supposedly born in Greene County in the mid-1820s.
Ale's gravesite is located in a field about 100 yards southwest of the Armstead Hatfield Cemetery (founded by his son, c.1870). The site is surrounded by a three-foot-high concrete wall and guarded by aggressive thorn trees. There are two other very worn markers in the plot with no inscriptions visible at all. No one appears to know whose graves these are. To locate Ale's solitary grave, go to coordinates 38 deg 54' 45.70" North 86 deg 43' 24.80" West at Google Earth.

Arrested Development's season 4 episodes on Netflix are right around the corner (May 26!), and Hypable had the chance to speak to the cast ahead of the highly-anticipated return to the small screen.
Though we'll be unveiling the majority of our interviews later this month, for now we can share a little tease to whet your frozen banana-craving appetite.
Seven years off the air is a long time. But when the cast reunited on May 4 to speak to the media, it felt like we just tuned into for the premiere of season 3. Save for the two lead kid actors Michael Cera (George Michael Bluth) and Alia Shawkat (Maeby Fünke), the cast still have the same looks, wit, and energy you fell in love with during seasons one through three.
Now Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, David Cross, Michael Cera, Jessica Walter, and the rest of the original cast are back for a 15-episode run on Netflix at the end of this month. They spoke with Hypable and other media about all areas of the triumphant return, including one of the most pressing questions…
Is the original 'Arrested Development' magic still there?
The cast is confident that fans will enjoy the new episodes as much as they did the original three seasons. Walter, who plays Lucille Bluth, recalled the moment it felt like they were truly back in action. "The first time we all sat down in that penthouse which was recreated, we were so excited," she told us. "We needed about 30 minutes to calm down. And once we heard the voices and saw the faces that looked the same, except for the kids who are now adults, that's when I knew we were really back. It was surreal."
Cross echoed the "surreal" sentiment and added that it was "cool for all of us to be looking at each other in our outfits and getting to do this after seven years. That's when it felt real real."
What's different in season 4?
When asked if the characters have changed since we last saw them, the group were compelled to emphasize that things have actually gotten worse – in a way only Arrested Development fans can appreciate. "We don't really grow that much – uhmmmmm, riiiight?" de Rossi mused.
"Things have actually gone the opposite direction," Bateman admitted amongst laughter from his fellow cast. "If we're ever full rehabilitated, there would be no show. We're deeply banged up. The seven years off have not been kind to any of us. The fun is seeing everybody's flaws."
"The desperation is magnified," said Walter.
"Overall, the tone is a lot darker," added Bateman.
De Rossi disagreed. "It feels very similar to the original series though, to me."
Bateman insisted "there's there's a little more edge."
The cast were all in agreement about one big difference that may be quickly noticed by fans. The individual cast members' busy filming schedules outside of Arrested Development meant it was difficult to get them all together for shoots. Because of this, it will be rare to see many of the characters together in the same scene. In fact, Walter tells us that there are only two scenes in the entire 15 episodes where the entire cast is assembled in one room.
"It is one of the differences that people are going to have to make a friend of," Bateman told us. "Not everybody is in every episode. As much as you treat these as individual episodes, the fifteen are meant to be one singular act of this three-act saga that [creator Mitch Hurwitz] is going to tell. It's a good thing that they're all being released on the same day, so that you can get your fill of everyone."
We'll release our full report from our time with the Arrested Development cast later this month prior to the release of the 15 episodes on Netflix.

Cocktail of the Week: A Commanding Rye Drink
"This is a basic spin off a Boulevardier, substituting rye as the base instead of the usual bourbon. I was torn between a few whiskeys, but I decided on Bulleit because it has a great amount of spice. I threw in a bit of cherry heering for sweetness, and we also use a Scotch rinse to add some smoke to the drink. The bitterness of the Campari balances well with both the cherry heering and the Carpano Antica.
"Really this is a pretty straightforward manhattan-style cocktail. Don't go overboard with the Scotch rinse, and don't over-stir it (or else you'll dilute the drink)." —Michael Lay, Restaurant 1833, Monterey, Cali.
Commander in Chief
- 2 ounces Bulleit Rye
- 1/2 ounce Carpano Antica
- 1/2 ounce Campari
- 1/2 ounce Heering Cherry Liqueur
- 2 dashes of Fee's Orange Bitters
Combine ingredients in a mixing glass with ice and stir. Serve up with a flamed orange zest.

Jackson Design & Remodeling offers elite home plans for discriminating tastes in San Diego County
By Marti Gacioch, La Jolla Light
A strongly integrated team, coupled with state-of-the-art organizational software, has put Jackson Design & Remodeling far ahead of its local building competitors. "We're the only design build company in town that has doubled its business in this economic downturn," owner Todd Jackson said proudly.
Design Build means Jackson's unified team of 39 designers, architects and construction professionals are all under one roof, ready to guide clients through the design and building process.
"The goal is for our clients to get more of what they want, and while we're doing it, they're looking at budgets and options and prices, so that they receive a better, more put-together home without a lot of change orders," Jackson said.
Jackson offers this service at a high level, employing three architects, five interior designers, seven design assistants and a construction support staff with 39 employees in all.
"We're an integrated system and that's what attracts people to us," Jackson said. "They see our portfolio and it's more personalized; we come to them with a team approach."
Jackson said his passion for building came in high school after earning an "A" in vocational construction class. He found his career path quickly, and older brothers-in-law, who were masons, inspired and mentored him. By age 20, Jackson started his own business. He earned his contractor's license at age 23 and began building home additions. While working with designers at Home Depot Expo, he built high-end kitchens and baths. There he learned how to work with clients and contractors and follow a set of plans.
Jackson said his current clients are people seeking something unique that they won't see in anyone else's home.
His recent Muirlands project features a countertop that looks like geodes put together by LED lighting that illuminates the entire slab. "It is a centerpiece for that house," Jackson said.
Additional high-end elements in recent home projects include stainless steel kitchen cabinets, ambient lighting and back lighting.
"People are developing rooms into great rooms by opening up the kitchen, or by opening up the back of the house to create an indoor-outdoor experience, or by remodeling the master suite to provide a client with a spa every morning," Jackson said.
Well-known for their exceptional work throughout coastal San Diego County and Rancho Bernardo, Jackson Design and Remodeling will soon celebrate 24 years in business.

Best Writing Software?

Join Date: Mar 2009
Location: South Alabama
Device: Shocked by how much I've read on an iPod Touch received as a gift!
There is a poll also in this forum that has the very same discussion ongoing:
Poll: What writing software do you use?
My preference is PowerWriter (Win only) and yWriter (Win & Linux):
like PowerWriter because it organizes writing tools closest to the way I think. I like the blank page in the largest part of the window, a tree view of the book, acts, chapters and scenes in the left pane, and multiple tabs for the writer's paraphenalia across the bottom of the window. It has a good number of prep tools (Premise, Synopsis, Characters, Plot Points, and Notes/Research). A useful feature is the ability to embed notes (e.g. "come back to this paragraph and write a long description about what the protagonist was feeling..."). I paid $100 for PowerWriter three years ago and there hasn't been a major upgrade but several small updates. Very stable and the only reason I keep looking elsewhere is that it stores all data in a PowerWriter database. It will auto-backup to another drive which I do, but as nervous as I am about losing my drivel, I still output an RTF file about once a week so that if PowerWriter never works again, I could move my work to about any other program.
You can't beat yWriter for value though since it is Free (Donations recommended since the author of yWriter is a Sci-Fi writer that uses it to write and publish his works, and improves yWriter along the way). Very full-featured and if it displayed the blank page while showing all the tabs for charaters, locations, items, etc., it would be my only creative writing tool. Truthfully, I sent Simon a small donation last year because I used yWriter during NaNoWriMo which was long enough to know it just doesn't fit me as well as PowerWriter does. simon keeps improving it (now version 5 and each was a major upgrade with small updates in between) and I keep downloading the updates and testing what he's changed about once a month. At some point he'll add enough features, or the features that fit me, and it will supplant my old PowerWriter fav. I look forward to this for one big reason: Simon uses RFT files as the individual documents to park data in this program, not a proprietary database. To me that's pretty big and if the Scene editor just acted a little more like a word processor, it would be the perfect tool for me. Many folks, including several puplished authors use it as their primary tool.

Elizabeth Warren's first eight months as U.S. senator could be described as understated or below-the-radar. But the Massachusetts liberal Democrat's speech Sunday at the AFL-CIO's convention in Los Angeles was just the opposite.
Just take a look below at the last 90 seconds of Warren's speech, in which the freshman senator struck a populist tone, declaring: "Our agenda is America's agenda. The American people know that the system is rigged against them and they want us to level the playing field. That's our mandate. That's what we're here to do."
The speech was reminiscent the populist, fiery Warren from the 2012 campaign who excited the political left in and outside Massachusetts, raised heaping sums of money, and appeared poised to take up the liberal mantle in the Senate.
Warren also took aim Sunday at a Supreme Court she sees as far too conservative. She talked about the "corporate capture of the federal courts" (words she has used before), and added, "You follow this pro-corporate trend to its logical conclusion, and sooner or later you'll end up with a Supreme Court that functions as a wholly owned subsidiary of Big Business," according to Politico.
Warren's prepared remarks also included digs at the agendas of Republican governors in Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin, talk about raising the minimum wage, and a reminder about her push to bring back Glass-Steagall.
In short, it was a speech chock full of items at the top of the list for many liberals.
The speech also reinforced the potential Warren has for higher office. While Warren has shown no signs she is gearing up for a presidential bid (or is really even thinking about higher office) and has kept a notably low public profile on Capitol Hill, there is arguably no other Democrat who resonates as much on the left as Warren does right now in terms of policy, speaking ability and fundraising heft.
The question moving forward is whether we will see more in the coming months of the Warren the AFL-CIO convention witnessed Sunday or the senator who has been quiet publicly on Capitol Hill.

I demo'd a K4
I recently played with a demo model and didn't care for it. It was too small for my hands. My thumb had to rest halfway across the screen. The page turn buttons were not placed where I could use them. All buttons were too small. I would have to use two hands to operate it.
And it had a dollar store quality to it. Frankly, I think at $79 it is overpriced.
Since it was in demo mode I couldn't use it fully. The page turns were not fast on this particular model. The screen wasn't the best I've seen. I did think the background was slightly darker compared to the K3 next to it but that could be lighting effects. It's possible the unit wasn't functioning properly, though. Other functions seemed strangely tedious.
Checking the other ereaders on display, none seemed to function as intended. Not a good selling feature.

America's Got Talent 3
Sharon Osbourne and Jerry Springer dish on 'America's Got Talent'
By Christopher Rocchio, 06/17/2008
America's Got Talent
executive producer Simon Cowell has stated the NBC reality show's
third season
will feature "one of the most talented people on any show I've been involved in." However neither the show's judges or host are ready to reveal which contestant Cowell -- who has certainly had no problem making his favorites known while judging
American Idol
-- considers worthy of such lofty praise.
"I do know who he's talking about but you're going to have to wait and see,"
America's Got Talent
judge Sharon Osbourne told Reality TV World during a Friday conference call.
Unlike Osbourne, host Jerry Springer said he doesn't know of whom Cowell is speaking about in the third-season promos -- but said even if he did he wouldn't give his opinion on the talented individual.
"That kind of would make it unfair because remember, the public votes. And if the public gets a clue -- who the judges for example, may like, then that could slant a vote. So that wouldn't really make it fair," he told Reality TV World. "I saw a few acts that I really thought were phenomenal. I've seen some that I could see winning, let's put it that way."
While it may be home viewers who ultimately determine the show's winner,
America's Got Talent
judging panel -- Osbourne,
Celebrity Apprentice
winner Piers Morgan and actor David Hasselhoff -- do wield some power with their constant buzzing or lack thereof.
However Osbourne said she tries to look at the show's talent differently than a viewer.
"I look at the talent very differently anyway from say the person who is voting because I always like to see somebody that knows their craft and has learned their craft, and studied well," she told reporters during the conference call. "So I look at somebody totally different. But hey, I hope it's not a singer that wins because there's so many shows for singers, that our show is so different that it gives other people who are equally as talented but in a different way a chance."
Springer added the fact that so many singers audition for
America's Got Talent
is a "reflection of the culture."
"Most performance entertainment other than actors are people who sing. So at least everyone -- if they're not tone deaf -- can conceive of being a singer," he explained. "But not everybody juggles and not everybody is a magician, but everyone has at least sung once in their life. So it's the most popular form of entertainment, I guess."
Osbourne agreed that the show's younger generation of participants are unfamiliar with variety acts from the past that didn't just highlight singing.
"The younger generation, they haven't seen these variety acts. They haven't seen this art form before," she explained. "It's great to open it up and educate the kids that you can actually be a performer without having to sing."
Springer said that's exactly what he thinks
America's Got Talent
"What is great about
America's Got Talent
, it really is the only show in America in the last 30 or 40 years that is a pure citizen variety show. And that is what is phenomenal," he said. "It just opens up all new forms of entertainment."
While Springer said new forms of entertainment do lend to some "crazy acts," home viewers are eventually able to weed them out if the judges don't do so first.
"Even though you may get some crazy acts along the way, the truth is in the end the public votes and they really do vote for the people with the most talent. I really have to say the public kind of knows what good talent is because the votes really go there," he explained. "There may have been a shock that one wins over another, but in terms of the whole group, I have to say that someone who is not a crazy person, let's say, I think they have just as good a chance of winning because I think the public makes that determination."
Osbourne said she applauds all the hopefuls who have the guts to show-off their various talents, regardless of what they may be.
"They've got an awful lot of courage to go up and do what they do because I don't think that people realize how hard it is to go up on a stage and perform in front of three people on a panel," she said. "It takes a lot of guts to do that."
Because of the determination and heart shown by many contestants, Springer said he does become personally attached to them.
"The truth is, I do get invested with them, at least emotionally because these are all really nice people who maybe never thought they would ever have a chance at a career in entertainment," he said. "Just being a normal person you can't help but really root for them and cheer them on. When it doesn't go their way and their dream seems smashed for the moment, a good hug sometimes helps and so I do feel a bit personally invested in them."
On the flip side of that, Osbourne said she and her fellow judges do their best to not grow attached to contestants.
"For us, the one thing is that we can always be objective because we don't get emotionally involved with the contestants because we're not allowed to speak to them," she said. "We're not allowed to have any contact with them. And in that way, your heart doesn't lead your head."
Even if he did interact with the contestants, Morgan's heart almost certainly wouldn't affect his judging.
"He's always the first one to buzz... As soon as he buzzes, it startles me. I can't stand that buzzer," said Osbourne, adding she'd like to see the show do away with the buzzers but knows that will never happen. "It could never be changed and I think that Piers does it because he loves to buzz everybody. And I think even more he loves to annoy me."
Osbourne said the sharp-tongued Brit is even worse this season because he's fresh off his
Celebrity Apprentice
"I can tell you he is definitely a little more cocky this season," she said. "I would say he's extremely cocky this season."
Springer added that all Morgan's extra arrogance did was make the interaction between him and Hasselhoff all the funnier.
"I think the most fun is watching him and David because as you all know, we are privileged to be on the Planet Hoff and all of a sudden Piers is coming on his planet and wanting to be the big man out there," explained Springer. "So watching the competition between the two of them and Sharon being the one in the middle that's trying to keep the peace is kind of fun, at least from my perspective seeing them fight it out. Sharon and I share a lot of looks while the two are going at each other."
Despite seeing everything as simple as singing and dancing to as complex as juggling and speed sewing, Springer said his favorite part of the show is still being surprised.
"The nicest surprise, I think, always is -- no matter what the talent is -- I think we all love when someone comes out and surprises us," he said. "In other words, just maybe by their demeanor, maybe by the way they're dressed, maybe because of what kind of act it's going to be, you're just coming out and saying okay, what's this going to be. And then all of a sudden you stop and go whoa, that's what you really look forward to. And it's happened. You know, it happens. Every town we go to, there is at least one or two acts that just really shock us because we didn't expect it."
America's Got Talent
third season will premiere with a two-hour broadcast on Tuesday, June 24 at 9PM ET/PT. Following its debut, NBC will air another

PASADENA - Two area congressional representatives hailed Sunday night's successful landing of NASA's Curiosity rover on the red planet.
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Pasadena, called it "a remarkable engineering achievement."
"In the coming weeks and months, Curiosity will answer many of the vital questions about Mars' past and whether it ever had conditions suitable for life," Schiff said in a statement issued Sunday night.
Schiff took the opportunity to call for restored funding for planetary science and future Mars missions.
While almost $100 million has been restored so far, he said, "much work remains to return the Mars Program to health. Without the certainty of future missions and support, we will find it impossible to maintain the most specialized workforce on earth - the brilliant engineers and scientists who made this mission possible."
Rep. David Dreier, R-San Dimas, said in a statement early Monday that he was "tremendously proud of JPL, its talented and dedicated staff and their incredible achievement."
Dreier said he also looks forward to hearing about the Mars Science Laboratory's discoveries and "learning about the opportunities that may unfold from them."
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory rover landed safely on Mars late Sunday night as engineers erupted in cheers and gave one another high-fives after confirming successful touchdown at 10:32 p.m., the projected landing time.
JPL also received a few thumbnail-size images a few minutes after the landing. At one metric ton, it's the largest spacecraft that scientists have ever attempted to land on the surface of another planet.
The mission was launched to determine whether Mars ever was or might still be capable of supporting microbial life.

Today, I heard more about the Keep a Child Alive work that Alicia Keyes is doing. I went to Alicia's program in Africa. I saw her work firsthand. I love the way that she is the front end for that. Alicia uses her celebrity in such a powerful way to do so much good for so many people that it becomes my inspiration. I hope that her work gets recognized so that more people will find it in their hearts to do the same. Jay-Z, above, is one of them. All the work that he's done in Africa. 50 Cent with G-Unity. Ludacris with the Ludacris Foundation. Eminem with the Shady Foundation. Snoop Dogg and his football league. He paid for that himself. I'm inspired by the whole hip-hop community's work. They don't do it for the glamour. I like to promote them because they don't promote themselves.

From the guys at MyBanana, this iPhone 5 sleeve is handmade in Israel from soft wool felt that's designed to protect your handset while "keeping it fashionable and stylish.†Not only does it house your iPhone, but there's also a handy pocket that'll hold onto your credit cards and cash.
It's priced at just £15 (about $ 24) and comes in grey and black, grey and magenta, and grey and turquoise. It's cheap, then, but is it any good?
The Good
I have to admit, when I first picked up this case, I thought it would last about five minutes. I was adamant the soft wool felt wouldn't withstand daily wear, and that I'd soon be throwing it in the trash. But I was wrong.
I've been using it regularly for just under a month now, and it's held up incredibly well. In fact, apart from changing shape a little from holding onto my iPhone for so long, it still looks pretty new. The materials and the stitching have proven to be super strong.
It doesn't add too much bulk to your iPhone, either — especially if you don't add any credit cards. While I probably wouldn't want to be slipping this sleeve in and out of my pocket all day, it's great for protecting your iPhone inside of a purse or backpack. You can throw it inside and you don't have to worry about it coming out all scuffed and scratched.
The advantage this case has over leather sleeves is that's it's really flexible. Once your iPhone's inside it, it won't take you 15 minutes to get it back out again. What's more, you can push the phone up from the bottom of the case, and you don't have to worry about creating creases or damaging any leather.
The other great thing about this case is its price tag. At just £15, it's ideal for iPhone 5 owners who want a simple sleeve that won't cost the earth.
The Bad
As I mentioned above, this sleeve isn't one you'll want to be slipping in and out of your pockets all day. While it will fit in your pocket, its material makes it difficult to get out again, and you end up wrestling with your jeans in the middle of the street.
The other concern I had with this case is that it isn't quite as long as the iPhone 5 itself, which means it leaves a small section at the top of your iPhone exposed. It's not much, but if you drop your handset and it lands on its head, it'll be damaged.
MyBanana assures me this is a feature — designed to make it easier to remove the iPhone. But I'd prefer to have my whole handset protected.
The Verdict
If you're after a sleeve that you can carry your iPhone around in, it might be better to avoid this one. If it slips out of your hand, the top of you iPhone is likely to be damaged — we've all heard how easily those aluminum frames can chip and scratch.
However, if you're after a sleeve that will simply protect your screen inside your bag, this one's ideal. Its build quality is great — much better than it looks — it'll carry a few credit cards for you, and at just £15, it's a bargain.

Drug agency recommends lower dose of sleep aid
Published 10:34 pm, Thursday, May 15, 2014
Washington --
The Food and Drug Administration said Thursday that people prescribed the sleeping pill Lunesta should be starting with half the current recommended dose, part of the agency's continuing effort to reduce sleep aids' risky side effects, such as drowsiness while driving.
The agency recommended a new starting dose of 1 milligram, down from 2 milligrams, and told the pill's manufacturer, Sunovion Pharmaceuticals, to change its labels to reflect that. Using lower doses means less of the drug will remain in the blood in the morning hours, reducing the risk that people who take it will be impaired while driving. The dose can later be increased to 2 or 3 milligrams if needed, the agency said.
According to IMS Health, a health care services company, about 55 million prescriptions for sleep aids were dispensed in the United States in 2013. Lunesta represents a relatively small part of that market, with about 3 million pills prescribed.
It was not the first time the agency reduced the recommended dose of sleeping pills. In January 2013, the agency said doses of Ambien and other sleeping pills that contain zolpidem should be halved for women. The agency also told manufacturers that labels should recommend that health care providers "consider" prescribing lower doses for men.

In the case of Lunesta, the agency is recommending lower doses for men and women.

Health care decisions as a family matter - intra-household education externalities and the utilization of health services
The author is concerned with the role of education as a determinant of health care choices. His central premise is that utilization of health services is determined not solely by an individual's own education, but rather by a notion of effective education, which incorporates the educational attainment of other household members. The author sets out a general framework for representing intra-household education externalities, and proposes a number of specific hypotheses concerning the way in which the education of different household members affects health care choices. He tests these hypotheses on data from Mozambique, focusing on maternity services and child immunizations. The author draws five major conclusions from the analysis. First, while maternal education seems to be the education variable of primary importance for the health care choices under consideration, the education of other household members has a significant and sometimes large effect. Second, his analysis suggests that while the education of the person (non-spouse) in the household with the highest-level education is important,the level of education of additional household members does not have an impact on health care choices. Third, the data provide no evidence of a gender difference in education externalities. Fourth, the author examines the merits of two alternative representations of the education externality, but is unable to conclude unambiguously in favor of one specification over the other. Finally, although the analysis highlights the importance of both education and a number of other explanatory variables in understanding health care choices, spatial fixed effects remain highly significant.

John Ingle, best known as patriarch Edward Quartermaine on ABC's General Hospital, has died after a battle with cancer. He was 84. Ingle's passing on Sunday was first reported by a family member on Facebook and General Hospital executive producer Frank Valentini confirmed the news on Twitter. "We love him and will miss him. John will always be part of the #GH family," Valentini wrote. The Oklahoma native took on the role of Edward Quartermaine in 1993 after retiring as an English and theater teacher. He taught at both Hollywood High Beverly Hills High School until 1985. Among his students were Nicolas Cage, Richard Dreyfuss, David Schwimmer and Albert Brooks. Ingle was fired from GH in 2003 and the role of Edward was to be killed off, but outraged fans spoke out and he was rehired. He left the show for a couple years to play Mickey Horton on Days Of Our Lives. He returned to GH as Edward in 2006 and made his final appearance in an episode that aired just last week. His other television credits include Beverly Hills, 90210, Cheers, Dallas and Doogie Howser, M.D. His film credits include Heathers, Robocop 2 and Batman & Robin.

RIP Mr. Ingle… I saw him on the show last week and he looked fragile, but it was a very touching scene… He will be missed!!!
He was always such a nice sweet man.
Mr. Ingle was my drama teacher at 'Beverly'.
Great teacher, even better man (what a 'class act').
RIP Mr. Ingle
RIP – I was happy to see he got a final scene and a classy sendoff last week. I never saw the original Edward Quartermaine, but I was a big fan of Ingle when I first started watching. The show suffered greatly when they gave the Qs short shrift and it became all about the mob.
A class act, he will be missed.
Had the opportunity to meet John, when he came thru my checkstand, in Seal Beach. Joke around with him. Told him my mom loved him & he sent her autographed photo to her in while she was in hospital. Very kind man. Will be s greatly missed.
A great man and a great teacher. He changed my life. I will always love and remember him. Goodnight sweet Prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
So many great memories growing up watching this wonderful (and hilarious) actor.
RIP. You will be missed!!
So sad. It's a shame what the former GH producers did to him a few years ago. But, they wanted more mob action and no more Quartermaines. Their loss.

SEC's Top 25 players: No. 24 Lamin Barrow
Published: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 12:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 5:24 p.m.
Gatorsports.com counts down this season's standout players in the nation's toughest conference.
No. 24 Lamin Barrow
Position: Linebacker
School: LSU
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 234 pounds
Year: Senior
Why He's No. 24: With Kevin Minter gone to the NFL, Barrow is expected to take over the leadership role for the Tigers' defense this season. Barrow is the team's leading returning tackler after recording 104 tackles as a junior. Of his 104 tackles, 7.5 were tackles for loss. Barrow also recovered two fumbles and forced a fumble as a junior. He's versatile enough to play both inside and outside in LSU's 4-3 scheme.

AN ENTHUSIASTIC display of cross-party support saw Bexley councillors agree to sign the Armed Forces Covenant.
A unanimous vote at the full council meeting last Wednesday (November 7) was cast just days before Remembrance Day.
The covenant recognises the whole nation has a moral obligation to the armed forces and their families and establishes how they should be treated.
Council leader, Councillor Teresa O'Neill said: "I'm delighted Bexley councillors came together in the way they did to support such an important motion.
"We're deeply grateful to our armed forces for all they do.
"Adopting this covenant at a local level will confirm Bexley's commitment to ensuring those who have served our country, and their families, get the recognition, help and support they deserve."
A community based covenant will now encourage a greater understanding between past and present members of the armed forces and members of the community.

Esthetics & Nails
If life had turned out the way Tracy imagined, you'd be visiting her on the deck of a luxury cruise liner. But it was her piqued curiosity that got the better of her and forever set her life on a new path.
"Initially, I wanted to work in tourism. I had a friend who had registered for the Spa and Esthetics program at Blanche Macdonald and I thought it sounded so cool! I didn't know anything about esthetics, or even what to call it, but I made an appointment with the school to have a tour and the next thing I knew, I was enrolling in the program. I liked the idea of a service industry, but this was much more realistic and with so many more opportunities!"
The opportunities that followed a world class education at Canada's Top Spa School were almost immediately discernible to Tracy.
"I did do a bit of research on other schools, but nothing jumped out at me. I decided that I would call some local spas and ask whose graduates they would hire and everyone said 'Oh, Blanche Macdonald grads are the best!'"
That was over 13 years ago. Now firmly planted in the Esthetics industry, there's no other place Tracy would rather be. She's the Spa Lead of North Vancouver's Blu Harbour Wellness + Spa, the area's only spa certified in Medical and Advanced Esthetics, which has been her home for the last 6 years.
"This location is fantastic. And my clients here are really wonderful. One of the estheticians we hired here was actually the one that covered my maternity leave at another spa in the area so we're like a big family! And the owners are great - they've given me the opportunity to really grow my career and expand my skills."

Walking into Onyx Aesthetics Studio is like walking into a world where every day is a good nail day. It's a place where beauty is continuously unfolding; a place to be primped and pampered in total tranquility. In just two short years Onyx owner and Blanche Macdonald graduate Linda Trang Ly has cultivated the perfect space to showcase her inimitable esthetics skills: an IG-worthy salon with a killer team of estheticians and an impressive roster of clients.
Although Onyx has already achieved great success in its short life, the studio was a long time in the making. After completing the Nail Parlour program at Canada's Top Nail School, Linda spent nearly a decade doing nails in Ontario and Connecticut, until Vancouver's nail scene was finally established enough for Linda to bring her skills back home.
"When I was trying to get into the industry after school, everyone here wanted French manicures on sport length nails. I knew that if I stuck around I would change careers again, so I moved to Toronto. Because of that, I've been perfecting my skills and doing crazy long nails with art for the last 10 years! And this was even before all the gel polishes came out. I always knew I would come back home, but I needed it to be the right time for what I wanted to do. Once I saw on Instagram how things were evolving in Vancouver, I knew it was time to come back."
But having been out of the Vancouver scene for nearly 10 years, Linda had to quickly suss out what the new Vancouver had to offer to find the perfect place for the esthetics paradise she was planning to create. When her initial searches of Kitsilano and Kerrisdale proved unsuccessful, it was in a relatively unexpected neighborhood, on the suggestion of a friend, that Linda happened upon the ideal space for her studio – Gastown.
"The Gastown I knew was The Old Spaghetti Factory, The Purple Onion and some souvenir shops. But suddenly, Gastown wasn't just Water St. anymore! I saw this space and the shape of it and I knew that it was exactly what I had been searching for!"

Everybody loves a trip to the spa as part of their wellness routine. But at the same time, not everyone has the opportunity to get out and give themselves the attention they deserve.
That's where Blanche Macdonald Esthetics graduate Tessa Patko and Mojo Mobile Spa enter the picture. If the people can't come to the spa, Tessa will bring the spa to the people.
"I'm providing services that clients might not otherwise be able to enjoy," she explains. "Mojo Mobile Spa is aimed at people who don't have the convenience of going to the spa, like busy mothers, people with health issues or people who don't have transportation. We're working regularly with seniors' homes now, which I love. I began receiving calls from grandchildren who were looking for people to go into the homes and give services. The need was there, so I started doing what I could to help. It really warms my heart to do those services. We'll do a soak, a massage and a polish and these seniors feel revived! They are really appreciative, love the attention and love to talk – as do I!"
Mojo Mobile Spa's reputation is growing fast. She was a finalist for the Richmond Chamber of Commerce's Young Entrepreneur of the Year, named as one of Richmond Review's 30 Under 30 business stars, and has been nominated for a business excellence award by the Surrey Board of Trade. Taking treatments to private clients, hospitals, hotels, pamper parties and corporate events across Metro Vancouver, Tessa already employs her own team of Estheticians, many of who come to her directly from Blanche Macdonald.
These honours and achievements haven't arrived by accident. They're the direct result of years of hard work. Luckily, Tessa is doing what she's always loved.
"I've always been interested in beauty and skincare," she continues. "I started experimenting with fashion, makeup and taking care of myself in my early teens, and I always loved going to the spa. Before that, when I was a little girl my Dad used to travel a lot and would bring back lotions from the hotels he'd stayed in. I'd tell my friends that if they put the lotions on their faces every day they would look like Barbie!
"After high school I studied business and began working behind-the-desk at administrative jobs. That wasn't for me so I went backpacking for a couple of years to think about what I wanted to do with my life. On the last leg of my backpacking trip I visited my grandparents in England. I was getting a pedicure with my Mom and she suggested I look at the world of esthetics. I was mulling it over with my grandparents and thinking about how they're so caring and how they always go the extra mile to make people happy. Their names are Morris and Josephine – which inspired the name of my business, Mo-Jo! I'm continuing the family heritage! As soon as I returned to Canada I registered at Blanche Macdonald. I was passionate about esthetics and liked the wide variety of things the program covered. And I knew from reviews that Blanche Macdonald was the best Esthetics Program in Vancouver."

To be able to see and hear the Indian Ocean every morning is a truly inspiring awakening; its crystalline waves lapping at the white sand of the beach at Shangri-La's spectacular Villingili Resort and Spa, in the tropical paradise of the Maldives.
"My home is an island surrounded by natural beauty! Palm trees and clear ocean. Of course I'm enjoying it!" laughs Blanche Macdonald graduate and the Shangri-La Villingili's Director of Spa and Recreations Roxana Sanchez. "I have the opportunity to scuba dive every week and disconnect from the world into a breathtaking experience."
It's not all relaxation. Luxurious Island life keeps Roxana busy. Aside from recruiting, guiding and training the Villingili's international team of therapists and estheticians, she is responsible for the short and long-term strategic planning of her departments, purchasing and budgeting, and spearheading marketing campaigns, all the while keeping on top of everything going on in the spa and leisure industries, both in the Maldives and around the world.
It's an interesting challenge, but Roxana is used to management roles. She rose to the position of Spa Director with the Fairmont Hotels & Resorts group before she even began her Esthetics training at Canada's Top Spa School.
"I came to Canada from Mexico when I was 18 and lived close to the Fairmont Empress in Victoria, BC. Every morning I walked past this beautiful castle and really wanted to learn more about it. The first job opening I saw available was a spa receptionist, for which I applied instantly. The rest is history! For me it was the beginning of a beautiful journey that has taken me to places I would have never imagined. The more I learned about the industry, the more I became interested. I started to understand that it takes a special group of people to work towards the overall wellbeing of a complete stranger. It takes passion, selflessness and good energy to pull it all together. By the healing power of touch you can cure many conditions and make a good living at the end of the day."
All Roxana needed to get her career rolling was a foot in the door. The more she learned about the spa industry, from administration to therapies to products, the more she loved it. She quickly rose to the position of Group Coordinator to Spa Reservations/Revenue Manager and was soon transferred to The Fairmont Mayakoba in the Riviera Maya, Mexico to become Assistant Spa Director. From there she was invited as an Acting Spa Director at Fairmont Nile City in Cairo and subsequently to Beijing, China as Spa Director for Fairmont Beijing. Roxana had become an international force in the esthetics world.

Director of Esthetics Simona Gozner Creates Inspiration at Blanche Macdonald
Hollywood doesn't make biopics on estheticians yet. There are still a few rock stars and revolutionaries to tick off the list first. When they do get to estheticians however, they'll probably begin with Simona Gozner.
25 years ago she was a refugee in a foreign land. Now, after a triumphal career with some of Canada's biggest spas and skincare lines, Simona has made a home for herself as Director of Esthetics at the same School where she once shone as a student.
"A great teacher is a student!" she insists. "We learn from each other and aspire to become better. One thing I've learned since I returned to Blanche Macdonald is how important it is to work as a team. That means the Esthetics Instructors, the faculty of our other departments, the Admissions Directors and students.
"As Instructors we're continually learning, taking different educational ingredients and connecting them in a way that creates a unique formula specific for each group of students. It's a very creative art."
Simona's creative journey to Canada's #1 Esthetics School began on another continent, where the violent overthrow of dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu in her native Romania forced her to make some dramatic and unscheduled life decisions.

The phone never stops ringing.
Every five minutes, without fail, Jesse Hamade's in-store cellphone bleeps into life. That's entirely normal for one of the three Cosmetics Sales Managers at the Vancouver branch of Holt Renfrew, Canada's leading luxury department store. She's in high demand.
The continual stream of questions and requests doesn't faze Jesse in the slightest. An ability to deal calmly with the issues at hand comes with the territory.
"It's chaos!" she laughs when we bring up the question of what a typical day at Holt Renfrew looks like. "This store has the highest volume of sales in Canada. We have 80 associates in our department and if I'm the only manager on duty it gets busy. My phone is always on and my team is always calling me for something. I'm dealing with vendors, buyers and our staff on any customer service or development issue. I never know what I'm walking into. It's crazy but enjoyable. My day is never boring."
Jesse is Holt Renfrew's Cosmetics and Skincare department's swan, gliding serenely on the surface but working hard underneath all the same. And a major part of that work is ensuring that Holt Renfrew's many associates are as well-prepared and supported as possible.
"To me luxury means that our associates come first," she explains. "We don't throw people on the floor without an extensive training program. We want to do everything we can to help our staff succeed. My door is always open. There's a lot of mentorship that happens."

Skincare Comes Home for Esthetics Graduate Leah LaVanway
At first glance Dolphin Street in White Rock, BC looks like any other residential street in Greater Vancouver's greener suburbs. The only clue that something special is happening there is the Essence of L Medi Spa sign proudly standing in front of the home and workplace of award-winning esthetican and Blanche Macdonald graduate Leah LaVanway. It's where she's changing lives.
"Last year I won the Surrey Now Awards for the 'Best Day Spa' and 'Best Laser Clinic' for the Surrey/White Rock area and have been nominated for both categories again this year" smiles Leah. "That's people in the community voting for me! Every client that comes here for the first time says that they didn't expect a home-based spa to look like this. I wanted to create a tranquil sanctuary. The energy here is really calm and clients can connect with that."
The atmosphere at Essence of L may be relaxing, but that doesn't mean that Leah isn't providing serious skincare treatments. Dermapen, Celluma LED Therapy, Cold Laser Therapy, Microdermabrasion, Clinical Peels and Clinical facials are all available for clients looking for long-term solutions to skin concerns. Leah understands how debilitating skin conditions can be. She speaks from personal experience.
"I had cystic acne for ten years," she explains. "Struggling through that was challenging. I tried so many over the counter products. I used to go to a Russian esthetician in North Vancouver for my deep cleansing acne treatments and she'd perform manual extractions for over an hour. It was excruciating but gave me some form of physical relief."
Leah was working in Mexico when a poolside discovery with a new friend led to a life-changing decision.
"She was an esthetician, studying Holistic Nutrition and Reiki Therapy. I read her workbooks daily and found them fascinating. Information about food allergies, and mineral and vitamin deficiencies made so much sense to me. I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I came home and told my parents I wanted to be an esthetician. I wanted to help people through the process and to see the light on the other side.
"I started researching esthetics schools and Blanche Macdonald was one of the first places that came up. It was love at first sight. Everyone I spoke to was open and honest. I came back to Canada in August and started the Esthetics Program in September."

In the cozy, clean and crisp white space of Glam Nail Studio, the morning sun glints on the golden array of Nail Art trophies jostling for space along countertops and shelves, intersticed with the framed sets of the winning artwork. The girls have only just settled from the bustle of their opening preparations, and the stations are already babbling with the first customers of the day; that is, with exception to our chair and the one opposite where sits the owner of this Award-Winning space, Blanche Macdonald Nail Parlour graduate Keiko Matsui.
"At first I wasn't aware of competitions," chirps Keiko, swiveling to look at the impressive collection of glass and gold with a humble shrug. "Some of our staff that came in from Tokyo to work with us were wanting to go to Las Vegas; the competitions there are world renowned. I decided to give it a shot and I won third place the first time – I was very, very happy. Now, since we've begun winning these awards, there are nail technicians that want to come to work in this salon so that they too can win awards at the competitions. They know we know what we need to do!"
They certainly do. Just over six years into business, the Glam Nail team boasts an astounding twenty-one international awards for their highly acclaimed Japanese nail art, including Keiko's 3D Nail Art First Place win at IBS Las Vegas. And people have been noticing.
"Customers are actually coming in from different areas, crossing the border; sometimes they're even flying in, coming by as they pass through the Vancouver International Airport!
"We try to get the most experienced nail technicians; they are so dedicated to the salon and we have won many competition awards. Even now, Glam Nail is still one-of-a-kind in the Lower Mainland."
Since first tossing open the doors in the summer of 2008, Glam Nail's client base – which began only with a small group of loyal customers from Keiko's freelancing days – has grown exponentially, keeping the salon in constant flux and on their toes. This, in part due to the fact that Keiko and her girls are creating a new niche by educating Vancouverites about Japanese nail art technique and design.
"When I was still in Japan, about 18 years ago nobody was talking about nails. Japanese nail art really happened in the past 15 years or so; the nail technicians began to win awards in the international competitions, and the prominent ones were all of a sudden always in the magazines. Historically in Japan, the craftsman and craftsmanship is very appreciated. It was because of this that they were able to gradually establish so many nail art styles."

One to Watch: Winnipeg's Double Threat Paige Roy, Pro Nail and Makeup Talent
For clients of twice-graduate Paige Roy, imagination is truly at their fingertips. Since launching off from both Blanche Macdonald's Global Makeup and Nail Parlour programs, Paige has been busy brushing out incredible creatives which have seen nails metamorphosed into monarch butterflies, dragon's treasure, beetle shells and lightning storms (to name a few).
With a social media following that is on the up and up, a position as Nail Technician and Makeup Artist in one of Winnipeg's hottest salons, Cutting Loose Hair Design, and exciting makeup adventures on the horizon, the young lady from the small town of Victoria Beach, Manitoba is already changing Winnipeg's perception of what's possible.
"I really like when I'm taking off my clients' nail work, and they say 'Oh! It doesn't hurt! My nails still look good!'" she laughs. "I say 'Yeah! It's because I do it properly!' It's nice when people realize that I'm doing things the right way and taking my time to do it well. I've got a lot of girls who are used to going to other shops who want to be out in 20 minutes. Once they sit down I tell that they'll be here for a while!"
Paige is now the go-to girl for nail art and event makeup in Winnipeg, but it took her traveling across the country to Canada's Top Makeup and Nail School to get there. Piqued by the artistry she encountered during her stint modeling, Paige made the leap to the other side of the brush and began her search for the best place to make most of her time away from home, leading her to take on a pair of courses at the Blanche Macdonald Centre.
"I saw that there was a Global Makeup program and I knew I wanted to do that. The Nail Parlour course looked amazing as well, and when I found out that Makeup was only three days a week, I knew that I could fit it in!
"I thought it would be more scary because it's such a big city, but I was close to school and it was super easy to get everywhere. There was a speaker from MAC Cosmetics a couple of days before I started, and my Admissions Director Jill Wyness suggested that I come to see that. The transition was so nice, and everyone was really helpful."

Doing it 'The Blanche Way' in Mexico City - Esthetics Graduate Cecilia Valdes Brings the Moor Experience Home!
For Cecilia Valdes, born and raised in the bustle of Mexico City, an opportunity presented is never untaken, especially when it involves a business plan and a venue through which to share the healing powers of natural products.
"For me, it is the key element. The market in Mexico is only starting to be more aware [of the benefits of natural ingredients]. We are a little bit behind on that, but I feel that it is important. A line that gives you great results and is natural? Well, I think that's the best combination."
This winning combination comes in the form of Moor Skincare which, thanks to Cecilia's phenomenal entrepreneurial spirit and head full of fresh know-how from Canada's Top Spa Therapy School, is now an established favourite in her home city, sold in her lovely Moor Spa + Nails locales.
"After graduating from Blanche we came back to Mexico City, in November, and by February we had opened the spa. So everything was very fast!"
And it's been shooting up from there. In only three short years since Cecilia and her husband opened the doors to the first ever Moor Spa, they have laid the foundations of a botanical skincare empire with three buzzing locations, including one nestled in the prestigious walls of Saks Fifth Avenue. This growth may seem incredible, until you meet with her fiery sparkle and you realize that Cecilia is a woman for whom words of 'okay' or 'good enough' simply do not exist.
"You do the right things, you have the right personality and the right location… but I think the most important thing is the service you offer. As an esthetician we have to give our clients the best - not just a facial, the BEST facial they have ever had. We have to give them our whole selves, and I think that is the key element to being successful."

Saratoga Vulnerable Favorites, Live Longshots, and Spot Plays: August 5
1:00 Sar 1st
We're just waiting for Gargan to pop with a price, something that's not only overdue but bound to happen here at the Spa before long. Recent claim MARTINI MADNESS (#3, 6-1) was just 7-2 when claimed from that turf dud at Bel, but this is a new surface and a new day, and Irad has been enlisted to engineer the quick turnaround. Gelding who knows how to win is right back in for the same $20k tag while switching to a more preferred surface and liable to come rolling off all the other speed in here. – Marty McGee
1:32 SAR 2nd
Although first time starter Countercyclical has been working extremely well for his debut, experienced gelding SPINTASTIC (#8, 5-1) has also trained well since arriving locally and should outrun his odds in the second half of the daily double. - Mike Welsch
2:04 SAR 3rd
TIGHTLY BRIDLED (#4, 2-1) capped off a series of okay works with a bullet over the main track, might finally give barn its first 2yo winner of the meet if able to stay the distance as he should considering his breeding. - Mike Welsch
3:08 SAR 5th
DANCING FOR GLORY (#5, 4-1) is the "other" Chad Brown horse in the race, but she ran very well here last year, and caught some traffic when last seen down in Florida; may be a fair price in race that appears wide open. - Mike Beer
4:14 SAR 7th
FRONT (#9, 9-2) may have been overmatched in a seemingly deep Solar Splendor but he's a much better fit here; tactical speed should mean a splendid trip behind expected speeds IMAGE OF DISCO, LAWYER JIM and MIA POPPY, as a much more favorable race flow than he got in that last one appears likely. –Kenny Peck
5:20 SAR 9th
ANGEL TERRACE (#3, 12-1) been rained off last pair and race prior was non-threatening effort off 6 month layoff won by Augustinentrymate where top two exited to run 2-3 in G-3 Gallorette; Sheperd's lone flat start at the meet missed by a head at 7-1 and Castellano gets rare call here for trainer. - Chuck Kuehhas
PAGAN PRIESTESS (#8, 10-1) had a productive 2012 with a 4-3-1 record from 11 starts, and appears to be approaching peak form for her third start of the year, after an improved effort at Delaware Park second time back. Exacta finishes 50% of the time on turf. - Dave Litfin
2:04 SAR 3rd
Expecting the power of Pletcher to make KING CYRUS (#6, 4-1) the favorite in his debut although he was beaten in his last work by Chisholm who finished off the board in his first try over the weekend. - Mike Welsch
