Newly Renovated Beachwood Resort a Family Favorite
(News Item #0276, Published: 08/01/12, ILoveBeachwoodResort.com)
Fifty years ago a flurry of tourism construction engulfed the North Coast of Washington State. The family friendly Beachwood Resort was one of those built to meet demand and and now it has been completely renovated and updated to meet the needs of visitors for another fifty years.
In 1960, real estate developers bought the 5,000 acres Ocean Shores Penninsula, 10 miles south of Beachwood and set out to sell thousands of lots. But one family resisted the hustle and bustle of the city of Ocean Shores to build a unique Bungalow style enclosed resort on secluded Copalis Beach.
For decades Beachwood Resort has been a little known secret spot for family friendly, pet friendly and group friendly travelers. Now Goldener Resorts of theSeattle metropolitan area has been hired as Property Manager for the restored Beachwood.
"We have been running the property ourselves for several years," Said Jane Lee a member of the family that owns the resort, "Goldener and their Vortex Management group have been giving the job of maintaining our upgraded destination and letting the world know what a wonderful place it is."
With just 20 units, and only a three hour drive from the Seattle metropolitan area, Beachwood offers seclusion, privacy and all the amenities expected of a much larger resort. It sits just back from a secluded beach, and has a private club house, hot tub, seasonal swimming pool, sauna, playground, volley ball, horse shoes, sauna and an unusual Solarium Tower.
"The resort is big enough to accommodate many families, but small enough so that family reunions, group meetings and even weddings can rent the entire place for themselves." observed Jackie Martin, newly appointed Resort Manager. "This summer we have many groups some of who have come back every year for decades. We must be doing something right."
Each ground level bungalow has a living room, kitchen, dining area, bedroom and fireplace. There are a variety of bed sizes and quality decorations to make them feel like home. Half of the units face the clubhouse and pool area, while the other half face beachward.
"Each night the staff start campfires and provide the marsh mellows and sticks. The guests provide the stories, laughs and camaraderie. It's a great way to meet new people and rekindle old friendship." Said Penny Taylor, sales manager for the resort.
"Our recent renovations make the Bungalows especially comfortable and we are just now completing renovation of the infrastructure and landscaping too. " reminded Ms.Lee, "It is turning out beautifully."

SACRAMENTO, Calif.—The state attorney general's office says four men are in custody after authorities seized thousands of marijuana plants worth $2 million during a Sacramento County raid.
Agents on Tuesday arrested 34-year-old Anthony Uasiarez (ooh-ah-see-AR-ez) and 18-year-old Ruben Guzman, both from Mexico, as well as 22-year-old Jorge Vargas Garcia and 23-year-old Jose Estrada of Tulare County during the raid on a pot grow at the Stone Lakes preserve near Elk Grove.
Garcia and Estrada are suspected members of the Sureños (Soo-RAYN'-yos) gang.
Agents seized more than 7,000 pot plants, 100 pounds of marijuana, two shotguns and a handgun following an investigation of the men.
The men are in Sacramento County Jail on suspicion of possessing marijuana for sale, cultivation of marijuana, conspiracy and being armed in commission of a felony.

In the middle of this process, the client answered her cellphone. Now, at first I thought she was just being rude and so did my client service team member, but as I continued to watch I could see her body language and hear her words—this gave me some clues about what was up. After the client was finished and left, I pulled the client service team member aside and asked for her take on what had just happened. She gave me the play by-play, not knowing I had been watching, and her version was that everything was fine except the client was rude and took a call right in the middle of her transaction.
I asked the team member if she thought the client was frustrated or upset about her bill or the visit. The team member told me no. Next, I gave her my version of what I witnessed. I asked her if she noticed that the client never looked her in the eye, even before the cellphone rang. She hadn't noticed. The client looked down, around at other clients in the reception area, team members walking by and her dog pulling at the leash and her arm. I noticed that. I asked the client service person if all the client's questions were answered during this visit. She said that they had been. The reality? Maybe not since the client service member never asked her, even though our protocol states she should ask.
My next step was to call Mrs. Jones. I explained that I was calling to ask about her experience at our practice today. Mrs. Jones was friendly and told me she left our practice a bit frustrated. It seems that she brought her dog, Spike, in with a complaint of "shaking her head." I asked her if she was willing to share with me the reasons for her frustrations. Here they are:
- Spike, though a masculine name, was a girl. Client frustration? Every team member, veterinarian included, who interacted with Spike on this day called Spike a "he."
- Spike shaking her head didn't seem like a $150 visit to the client. It was in fact a $150 bill, although Mrs. Jones felt that was a bit high. I asked her what the doctor did today and she told me this: "He didn't do much. He looked in her ears and said something about yeast and bacteria, some test EDA, and some coccidia thing." Let me backtrack here and tell you that most often when a client is frustrated with a bill, I find the client didn't see the value in what we did. That's not the client's problem—it's ours! And this was the case here.
I talked to the doctor and looked at his travel sheet: a full physical examination. He checked Spike over head to toe but since he didn't verbalize each step, Mrs. Jones didn't know he did it. Her view? "He petted Spike." He sure did but that was really him petting Spike to check for lumps and bumps. He petted Spike while he listened to her heart. Yes, he did look in the ears and that EDA was really an EDA. Also, we didn't speak in terms the client understood. Mrs. Jones didn't know what an EDA was. She was actually quite interested once I took the time to explain it to her. And of all those things the doctor found. It wasn't coccidia, it was cocci. Yes, there was yeast and bacteria but that wasn't explained to Mrs. Jones. Nobody told her the differences and that different ear medications treat different things so she just thought we jacked up her invoice by adding a "ton of medications."
Ear appointments are a frequent item of contention at our practice. The client thinks it's a simple thing that requires at best, a simple, single medication. Our doctors know differently. They most often run the EDA, they frequently use the video vetscope to see inside the ear canal, and there are often a few different medications. We had a plan in place for just this situation, but we didn't use it. We didn't show her the ear canal on the vetscope screen. We didn't print her photos. We didn't give her the handout about the ear canal, how to administer medications, and what an ear infection is.
At discharge she was angry and we rattled off, once again, all those things she just heard but didn't understand which only frustrated her more. She responded with no eye contact, a cellphone call and many sighs. We had a chance to fix this by asking if she had any questions or if she understood everything that took place in her visit today, but we didn't.
So, do you see what happened here? We missed the nonverbal cues that were screaming at us that we dropped the ball and Mrs. Jones was going to leave and maybe never come back. She certainly wasn't coming back for the recommended medical progress exam in two weeks. People often tell you they're fine when most certainly everything about them is screaming at you that they're not fine. Read those cues and act on them. Fix the issues, or you risk losing your clients.
Mrs. Jones is now happy. She asked me how I knew something was wrong. I told her about all the nonverbal cues I witnessed. She chuckled and told me how perceptive I was. Then she said she was also good at reading them and at that point she could tell I was smiling while I was talking on the phone with her. Of course I was! That's rule No. 1 one of answering the phone at my practice.

Teri King is an absolutely wonderful teacher and really knows a lot about the arts and crafts business and how to teach her knowledge to beginners. I loved her class and teaching style. She explained all the lessons in a very clear and understandable way. Teri really cares about her students and is not afraid to share her personal information with us. She provided all her students with helpful detailed answers and was very suportive of all the different learning styles in the class. Teri is extremely heartfelt, understanding and a GREAT teacher. I can't wait to take another class from her!
Fantastic course! Fascinating material! Fabulous instructor!
It was a great course. I learned a lot and found the information really useful. I enjoyed the instructor's style of writing as well. Thank you for providing such a great course! This was my first online course of any kind and I have been pleasantly surprised. I have enjoyed my new experience online!
I found this class extremely helpful and will use all of these principles in starting up a craft business. Thanks for a wonderful course!
The instructor was very kind and helpful. I thought the class was full of useful information. I'm happy and satisfied with all I have learned in this course. It was very specific and to the point. Congratulations to the instructor.

Thank you so much for this class. I had so many questions on how to go about making this happen for myself and you pretty much covered all my concerns. Now my only concern is the money I need to get some things started...something I will have to do on my own I'm afraid! Thank you again!
I enjoyed this course and learned quite a bit. Although I've done a substantial amount of research on starting my own business, the course helped me put all of the pieces together. I liked the fact that it was specific to arts and crafts, rather than just starting a business. Well done.
Teri is a great instructor!

text: Carrying a lighter load By Rick Ryan September 19, 2012 Story Share Courtesy photo Wayne all-state running back Brandon Spurlock has carried the ball just 22 times in three games. Odd as it sounds, the better Class AA power Wayne plays, perhaps the worse the chances of personal honors for running back Brandon Spurlock.Spurlock, a returning first-team all-stater, certainly has the talent to contend for honors like the Kennedy Award, which is voted to the top player in West Virginia.In last year's championship game at Wheeling Island Stadium, Spurlock ran 26 times for 197 yards and three touchdowns, leading the Pioneers to a 34-7 revenge victory against Point Pleasant.He finished the season with 1,698 yards on the ground, 33 overall TDs and a school-record 222 points, breaking the mark of 1968 Kennedy Award winner David Morris.However, Wayne is off to such a blistering start this season that it hasn't needed to feed Spurlock the ball. In fact, he's only carried 22 times total as the Pioneers have rocketed off to a 3-0 record - or four fewer times than he did in the 2011 title game.Quite simply, the Pioneers are too good for his own good. Spurlock has played in just one series in the second half this season, getting only one carry.It obviously hasn't hurt Wayne, which cranks out 62.7 points and 414 rushing yards per game and averages a startling 10.0 yards per play. But in some ways, it short-changes Spurlock's credentials."In all honesty, you feel bad,'' said Pioneers coach Tom Harmon, "but you also kind of feel like there are more important things than a kid's individual stats. That's what we've hung our hat on, program-wise. We understand it's a team game."Sometimes when a kid doesn't maybe get the accolades he deserves, it makes you feel bad. But honestly, he's the last person you'd hear complaining about that. He has the right attitude about things. He understands.'' Other top running backs around the state, such as Ryan Switzer of George Washington - last year's Kennedy winner - and Bridgeport's Brett Hathaway, certainly don't lack for carries. Hathaway, despite an injury, averages 18 per game and Switzer's gotten 40 in the two games he's been fully healthy.Right now, that looks like a month's work for the 5-foot-7, 185-pound Spurlock."It's funny,'' Spurlock said Wednesday. "I was looking at that today, all the carries for Switzer and Elijah Wellman [of Spring Valley] and all the yards for the top backs."It didn't make me upset or anything. We're winning, and that's really the main goal for everyone. But I know there will be a game soon and I'll run the ball a lot and Mason [Hodge] and James [Egnor] will run the ball a lot, and we'll do what we've got to do to win.''It's not like Spurlock hasn't done anything this season. He leads the Pioneers in rushing with 375 yards and three TDs, has tacked on a defensive score and three PAT runs for 30 points. But all those contributions tend to get lost when your team obliterates someone -like Wayne seems to do every week. The Pioneers have crushed Chesapeake (Ohio) - a team it lost to last year - 58-12, Herbert Hoover 46-7 and Ravenswood 84-42. Last week's game was the most shocking result so far. Against a respected Ravenswood program that was tied for fourth in the AA playoff ratings, and was sky-high playing its home opener under a new coach (Mick Price), Wayne ripped off 45 points in the first quarter alone and had 64 at halftime before settling for 84.Spurlock got five first-half carries, but made them count, gaining 112 yards, including a 60-yard scoring burst."I don't know what happened,'' Spurlock said of the showdown-turned-beatdown. "Ravenswood looked great on film and had a lot of good athletes. I know a lot of them were sophomores, and that was really a disadvantage to them.''But that kind of result is becoming the norm rather than the exception for the Pioneers, and it limits the playing time not only for Spurlock, but the team's other starters. Which makes one wonder if Wayne will be ready when its front line has to play four quarters rather than two."We've only played three games,'' Harmon said. "Everybody has some battles on its schedule that will take place - we probably have one this week [at Sissonville]. If [Spurlock] can play good football early and we win, great. I'm sure we'll have a lot of opponents - especially the one this week - who will do something to make us play the whole game to win it, if we can at all.''If Wayne does meet with more resistance down the line - and it figures to, with five of its final seven opponents ranked in the top 19 (and none of the seven with losing records) - then the parameters should change. The starters will go the distance, meaning Spurlock's No. 1 will be called upon more often, and his stats will start to fatten. Will it make him a serious Kennedy Award candidate?"I'm not sure,'' Spurlock said. "It would really be nice, but that's not for me to say. If I ain't, I'm not worried about it. I really want to win some games - that's the main thing. It's my senior year, and we want to go all the way."As long as we're winning, that's fine with me. If it's going to be like that [games with few carries], I'll have to be more effective and more focused when I do get the ball. I'm working on that right now. I've been working harder.''Harmon hopes those voting on postseason awards like the Kennedy and all-state teams figure in Spurlock's entire resume, and not just his (currently infrequent) rushing attempts."If you watch us play, if you watch him play,'' Harmon said, "his contributions come in a whole lot more ways than just carrying the ball. As a fullback, he's a really good blocker for us, and plays good defense as well [at cornerback]."Most people, I would think, who vote on those accolades when it's accolade time at the end of the year, will take those things into consideration.''Reach Rick Ryan at 304-348-5175 or email@example.com.

Last year's drought and reduced corn yield in Indiana resulted in considerably more nitrogen (N) being left in the soil at the end of the growing season than normally occurs. Most of the leftover N was in the nitrate form which is subject to loss with excess soil moisture, both by drainage to the water table and via tile drains to the ditches and to the air through a process called denitrification. A dry winter and spring would have allowed some of the nitrate to carryover to the upcoming corn crop. Unfortunately in most of Indiana the winter and early spring have been anything but dry. Precipitation totals from late October through April (Fig. 1, upper panel) show that almost all of Indiana received more than 15 inches of precipitation during this 180 day span. Most of Indiana (except the southeast) received more precipitation than normal (Fig. 1, lower panel). Large areas of Indiana have received precipitation as much as 4 to 8 inches of above normal.
Soil Analysis for Nitrate
Typically in Indiana we do not have significant carryover N because winter and spring precipitation remove nitrate (NO3) from the crop root zone. This year is no exception for most of the state. However, if you want to assess soil NO3 levels directly, soil sampling can be used. Sample representative field areas at depth intervals of 0 to 1 foot and 1 to 2 foot (15â20 1âinch diameter cores for each depth, composited and subsampled). Keep samples cold or spread thin to air dry shortly after sampling to minimize changes in the NO3 level of the sample. Send to a soil testing laboratory and request a NO3 analysis.
Results of the soil analysis are usually reported in units of parts per million (ppm) as NO3 or NO3âN. If reported in NO3 divide by 4.5 to convert to NO3âN. Contact the laboratory performing the test if there is any confusion as to the unit reported. 1 ppm NO3âN in a 1 foot deep soil sample is equivalent to approximately 4 pounds of N per acre. Typical background NO3âN levels at corn sidedress time are in the range of 5 to 10 ppm or 20 to 40 pounds per acre.
Fate of Fall and Spring Anhydrous Ammonia
Anhydrous ammonia (AA) applied this spring, particularly in April, is unlikely to have been lost because it remained in the ammonium form (NH4+) which is retained by the soil cation exchange capacity and is not subject to denitrification.2 Anhydrous ammonia bands do not immediately convert to NO3â because AA reduces the number of microbes that convert NH4+ to NO3â, particularly when cold temperatures also reduce recovery of the microbes. Loss of NO3âN from late fall AA applications are likely also minimal because soil temperatures have been consistently cold throughout the winter. If in doubt soil sampling can be used to assess soil N levels in fields where AA (or manure) was applied with two modifications to the procedure outlined above.
Since both NH4 and NO3 are plant available and much of the NH4 may not have been converted to NO3, request the laboratory measure both N forms. Most laboratories will report ppm of NH4âN, but if ppm NH4 is reported divide by 1.3 to convert NH4 to NH4âN. Background levels of NH4âN are typically less than 10 ppm at corn sidedress time.
Nitrogen fertilizer is one of the most expensive and impactful inputs in corn management. Excess applied N reduces profit and negatively impacts the environment. Insufficient N reduces yield and profit.
If you believe carryover N from last year's drought stricken crop is likely in your fields then soil sampling for NO3 and/or NH4 as a basis for a reduction in this year's fertilizer application is wise. Otherwise utilizing the general N recommendations (which are based on an average level of background N over the previous 7 years) are warranted. Read the most current Nitrogen Management Guidelines for Indiana.

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has taken a shine to Cavs coach Byron Scott through the years.
"He called me to come down (to San Antonio) to join him for wine," Scott said. "I've always appreciated Pop. He'll go down as one of the best."
Scott loves how Popovich holds everyone accountable on the team, even the superstars like Tim Duncan.
"He'll cuss out the first player or the 12th player," Scott said. "I've seen him go off on guys on the sideline."
'Cocky' unit
While watching the Cavaliers on video in preparation for last Saturday's game, Denver coach George Karl noticed their second team played so confidently, it was almost "cocky."
Cavs forward Luke Walton didn't disagree with Karl's assessment.
"We take a lot of pride in playing a certain style of basketball," Walton said. "We're loud and vocal. We play a certain way, even though it's for short minutes. Coming off bench, you don't know how long you'll be out there.
"It's our job to push the first unit and pick up the level of competition. We like to yap. We like to talk a little trash and get the intensity going."
The second team has been aided by the additions of center Marreese Speights, shooting guard Wayne Ellington and point guard Shaun Livingston.
Cavs one of those teams
Throughout the season, the Cavs have gotten up for the top-tier teams and played down to the level of the bad teams.
"We're 16-36," Walton said. "We have to make sure we get up for every game. That's one of the things we're working on to play at a high level every night."
Scott said he can't envision why his team looks down on bad opponents.
"We don't have the right to do that," he said. "We are one of those teams right now. 'Oh, this will be an easy win.' Sometimes we're in that mode. There's no one in this league you can disrespect."
All-Star trainers
Cavs head athletic trainer Max Benton and Cavs assistant athletic trainer Stephen Spiro will represent the Eastern Conference during All-Star weekend in Houston.
Benton and Spiro will comprise the East training staff for the entire weekend. Benton is in his 12th season with the Cavs, 18th overall in the NBA, and this is Spiro's third season with the team.
Green's progress
Spurs shooting guard Danny Green has become a fixture in the starting lineup. He was a 2009 second-round pick of the Cavs.
When asked how Green has been doing, Coach Popovich replied, "What is he not going?
"He's gaining confidence. We cut him twice. Each time, we tried to tell him why he didn't make it. It's fun to see someone like that come along."
Cavs forward Alonzo Gee played with the Spurs.
"He's one of our favorites," Popovich said. "He got better and better. It was up to him to find a team that has a spot for you. He's a Danny Green-type guy."
Tristan's challenge
Cavs power forward Tristan Thompson couldn't wait to face Duncan.
"First of all, he and Tim are close," Scott said. "That's a big step going against TD. If he's not the best power forward to play the game, he's one of the best.
"It's a good measuring stick. You want to see where you stand."

Raging Waters closed for the season this past Sunday, so I was looking forward to a nice quiet week at work. But when I arrived at Raging Waters this morning, there was a full construction crew already hard at work throughout the waterpark.
I also noticed a bunch of orange "X"s spray painted throughout the waterpark. I was able to snap a few photos, but when Jack Morey saw me, he ordered me to put the camera away.
What could possibly be going on at Raging Waters the week after the park closes for the season? We don't open back up for another 8 months. Stay tuned, I'll keep my ears open and if I hear or see anything more, I will certainly share….

Really old 168 gram 844 Sabre from the time before they had the patent number on the mold so they had to add the sticker. I would call it an 8/10 with some nicks and wear and really faded ink on the inside rim. This disc is stiff with a grippy surface texture.
Second disc gateway Sabre G1 at 168 grams. This disc is also an 8/10 with ink on the inside rim and very small nicks around the edge and underside of the disc. This disc is nice and stiff with nice grip but not as tacky as the 844.
Third disc is a super sweet milky white E Sabre at 176 grams. This disc is nice and grippy and a little flexy, when I threw Sabres i thought these were the best. This disc is an 8/10 i guess, I think I only used it for a round or two but like an idiot I inked the inside rim with initials and phone number. The disc shows just a tiny amount of use and this plastic is pretty indistructable anyhow so you can throw it for years and it won't change much.
I'm going to keep these together uless nobody wantst he group

Wind Power
Quick Facts
- Wind currently provides about 2.3 percent of America's electricity.[1]
- Wind power was 26 percent of all U.S. electricity generation capacity added in 2010.[2]
- The U.S. Department of Energy found that generating 20 percent of U.S. electricity from wind by 2030 would avoid 825 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) in 2030, a 25 percent reduction relative to a no-new-wind scenario.[3]
- The levelized cost of electricity generation[4] (including tax incentives) from a new wind farm can range from around 6-11 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh).[5] Actual costs for wind power projects will vary depending on project specifics, and the cost of wind power is sensitive to tax incentives.
Wind power harnesses the energy generated by the movement of air in the earth's atmosphere to drive electricity-generating turbines. Although humans have used wind power for hundreds of years, modern turbines reflect significant technological advances over early windmills and even over turbines from just ten or twenty years ago.
Wind resource potential varies significantly across the United States with substantial resources found in the Midwest and along the coasts (see Figure 1).
Winds generally blow more consistently and at higher speeds at greater heights. As wind speed increases, the amount of available energy increases following a cubic function,[6] so a 10 percent increase in speed corresponds to a 33 percent increase in the amount of available energy.[7] Modern turbines continue to grow larger and more efficient--two important factors that allow a single turbine to produce more usable energy. Improved materials and design have allowed for larger rotor blades and overall improvements in efficiency (measured as total energy production per unit of swept rotor area,[8] given in kilowatt-hours per square meter) and greater gross generation.

Wind technologies come in a variety of sizes (larger turbines can generally produce more electricity), and styles. Since wind is a variable and uncertain resource, wind turbines tend to have lower capacity factors than conventional power plants that provide most of the nation's energy. A power plant's "capacity factor" provides a measure of its productivity by comparing its actual power production over a given period of time with the amount of power the plant would have produced had it run at full capacity over that period. Conventional coal- and gas-fired power plants generally have capacity factors between 40% to 60%.[10],[11] Wind turbines generally have capacity factors that are closer to 25 to 40 percent.[12] Wind turbine capacity factors have improved over time with advances in technology and better siting, but capacity factors are fundamentally limited by how much the wind blows.
Technologies to harness wind power can be classified into a number of broad categories:
- Offshore wind
Offshore wind technology has yet to reach full commercial scale and remains a relatively expensive technology. Even so, projects do exist and more are planned. Offshore wind installations could take advantage of higher sustained wind speeds at sea to increase electricity output by 50 percent compared to onshore wind farms.[13]
- Onshore, utility-scale turbines
A modern utility-scale wind turbine generally has three blades, sweeps a diameter of about 80-100 meters, and is installed as part of a larger wind farm of between 30 and 150 turbines.[14] An individual wind turbine can have a generation capacity of up to 3.0 megawatts (MW).[15]
- Onshore, Small Wind
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory defines "small wind" as projects that are less than or equal to 100 kilowatts, which are much smaller than utility-scale turbines.[16] These systems provide power directly to private residential properties and farms, businesses, industrial facilities, and schools. Small turbines can be utility grid connected or coupled with diesel generators, batteries, and other distributed energy sources for remote use where there is no access to the grid.[17]
As of 2011, are 27 domestic small wind manufacturers operating in the United States.[18] In the past 5 years, there has been a trend towards installing grid-connected small wind turbines with greater capacity.[19] For example, sales of turbines smaller than 1 kW capacity were stable or declined from 2006 – 2011, while sales of 1 – 10 kW and 11 – 100 kW grew four and five-fold, respectively. While capacity additions were steadily increasing each year from 2005 to 2010, there was a 26 percent decline in 2011 from the previous year, returning to 2009 levels of capacity sales.[20] The brief decline has been attributed to a downturn in the general U.S. economy as well as inconsistent state policies, with several states suspending programs in 2011.[21] In 2011, domestic sales of small wind reached 33 MW – a 13 percent increase over 2010.[22]
Small wind's growth trend is likely the result of an assortment of state policies, with 2011 reporting over $38 million in tax credits, rebates, grants, and low-interest loans – a 27 percent increase from 2010.[23] 35 states offered some form of rebates, tax credits, or grants for renewable energy sources that could be applied to small wind, including the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).[24] While only three states have a specific incentive policy for small wind,[25] including Oregon's Small Wind Incentive Program[26], more than 25 states offered cash incentives and grants that covered small wind investments.[27] 16 states offered state-wide net-metering, which encourages investment by providing compensation when offsite electricity production exceeds private usage and enters the grid. Finally, 38 states and the District of Columbia have some form of policy that requires a certain percentage of electricity to be from renewable sources, called a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS).[28] Many states, including Pennsylvania, allow for distributed energy contributions to RPS fulfillment.[29]
Additional federal government programs contribute to the growth of small wind capacity. In the Wind for Schools program, the Department of Energy funded 33 small wind turbines on educational buildings in 2011.[30] Moreover, a 30 percent Investment Tax Credit for small wind turbines (in effect until December 31, 2016) remained important in 2011, while the U.S. Department of Agriculture provided support to over 200 small wind installations in 30 states, totaling 5.8 megawatts (MW) through the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP).[31]

Environmental Benefit / Emission Reduction Potential
Wind power generates almost no net greenhouse gas emissions. Although electricity generation from wind energy produces no greenhouse gas emissions, the manufacture and transport of turbines produces a small amount. Compared to conventional fossil fuel sources, wind energy also avoids a variety of environmental impacts, such as those pertaining to mining, drilling, and air and water pollutants.[32]
- Emissions reduction potential in the United States
The U.S. Department of Energy found that generating 20 percent of U.S. electricity from wind by 2030 would avoid 825 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually in 2030, a 25 percent reduction relative to a no-new-wind scenario.[33] This also represents a cumulative CO2 emissions reduction of more than 7,600 million metric tons by 2030.
- Emissions reduction potential globally
The International Energy Agency's aggressive technology scenario for reducing GHG emissions included a significant role for wind power—i.e., 1.5 to 4.8 gigatons of annual GHG abatement compared to "business-as-usual," or 4 percent of total abatement from energy use, and about 12 percent of global electricity production in 2050.[34]
The cost of wind power has fallen significantly over the past few decades.[35] In 1981, the cost of generating electricity from a 50-kW capacity wind turbine was around 40 cents per kWh. Technological and efficiency improvements (such as longer and stronger turbine blades from new advanced materials and designs) allow today's turbines to produce 30 times as much power at a much lower cost.[36] Technological improvements have the potential to further drive down costs over time.
Wind is cost-competitive with traditional power generation technologies in some U.S. regions. Recent analyses estimate the levelized cost of electricity[37] generation from a new wind power project to be 6-11 cents per kWh.[38] These costs, however, depend on project specifics (such as the wind turbines' capacity factor) and are sensitive to the inclusion of tax incentives for wind power. For example, the Federal Production Tax Credit for wind power lowers the levelized cost of electricity generation from wind by roughly 2 cents per kWh.[39] Recent estimates for the levelized cost of electricity generation from new coal-fueled generation run from 6.4 cents per kWh to 9.5 cents per kWh.[40],[41] Similar estimates for the levelized cost of electricity from a natural gas combined cycle plant are in the range of 6.9 to 9.6 cents per kWh.[42]
At present, offshore wind turbines are approximately 50 percent more expensive than onshore installations, yet they produce about 50 percent more electricity due to higher wind speeds.[43]
Current Status of Wind
Wind capacity is growing fast and accounts for the largest share of added renewable energy capacity over the last several years.[44] Cumulative global wind capacity has grown at approximately 26 percent per year since 2003.[45]
- Wind in the United States
Wind currently provides about 2.3 percent of America's electricity, but this relative share is growing quickly. Twenty-six percent of all electricity generation capacity added in the United States in 2010 was wind power,[46] while it accounted for 39 percent in 2009.[47] The amount of electricity generated from wind in the United States increased by 61 percent between 2007 and 2008[48] and by 28 percent between 2008 and 2009.[49] In 2010, United States dropped to second globally in terms of installed wind power capacity (40.2 gigawatts (GW)) after China more than tripled its installed capacity since 2008 (12 GW to 44.7 GW by the end of 2010).[50]
In February 2011, the Departments of Energy and the Interior released A National Offshore Wind Strategy: Creating an Offshore Wind Industry in the United States, calling for the deployment of 54 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030, with 10 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2020 as an interim target.[51] Offshore wind projects in Massachusetts and New Jersey could begin construction in 2011, and several other coastal states are in the process of approving possible projects.
- Wind at a global scale
Since 1996, global installed wind power capacity has grown by a factor of 32,[52] reaching 197.0 GW in 2010,[53] which could meet approximately 2.5 percent of global electricity demand in 2010.[54] The United States accounts for about 20.4 percent of installed global wind power capacity.[55]
Even assuming no new policy interventions – such as renewable portfolio standards or carbon emissions constraints – wind will continue to grow quickly, with installed capacity expected to quintuple in size by 2035.[56] Though some projections estimate it could account for as little as 5 percent of global electricity production in 2035, this share could be as high as 13 percent if policies are put in place to aggressively reduce greenhouse gas emissions and spur technological developments in renewable energy.[57]
A number of offshore wind farms are currently in operation or development globally. The United Kingdom has the world's largest offshore capacity (1,341 MW), followed by Denmark (854 MW). Additional offshore wind projects in Europe and China began electricity generation in 2010.[58] The London Array, the world's largest offshore development, is expected to have a capacity of 1,000 MW.[59]
Obstacles to Further Development or Deployment of Wind
A number of factors pose barriers to the further development of wind resources.
- Variability and uncertainty
Wind power is inherently variable and uncertain due to weather factors, since winds vary in strength and sometimes do not blow at all. Wind power is uncertain insofar as wind speeds can be forecast with only limited accuracy. These issues can be overcome to some extent by developing better wind forecasting methods and addressing electricity grid interconnection issues between regions. The U.S. DOE estimates that the U.S. could generate 20 percent of its electricity from wind without any new energy storage.[60] To achieve even higher levels of generation, wind power will require enabling technologies such as energy storage and demand-response. Storage options for wind energy include pumped hydroelectric storage, compressed air energy storage, hydrogen, and batteries.[61]
- Geographic distribution and transmission
Wind resources are unevenly distributed and many of the best wind resources are located far from the population centers that require electricity. New transmission infrastructure is necessary to bring electricity generated by wind resources in remote areas to end users.
- Siting issues
Related to issues over geographic distribution of wind resources, siting of wind power projects can face opposition from local communities who see wind farms as a form of visual pollution that spoils views and property or have concerns about the potential impacts of the wind farm on wildlife (especially birds and bats) and habitat.
- Investment uncertainty
Recent wind power growth rates in the United States have been volatile – largely driven by the cycle of lapses and reinstatements of tax policy support, namely the Federal Production Tax Credit. Such uncertainty hurts investment in wind power projects.
Policy Options to Help Promote Wind
- Price on carbon
A price on carbon would raise the cost of electricity produced from fossil fuels, making wind power more cost-competitive.[62]
- Tax credits and other subsidies
Stabilizing Federal Production Tax Credit cycles can help sustain investment and growth in wind power (for example, by putting into place incentive programs with longer periods before required Congressional renewal). Other forms of assistance include grant programs and loan guarantees to wind power project developers.
- Renewable portfolio standards
A renewable portfolio standard (RPS), sometimes called a renewable or alternative energy standard, requires that a certain amount or percentage of a utility's power plant capacity or generation come from renewable sources by a given date. At present, 29 U.S. states and the District of Columbia have adopted an RPS, while 8 U.S. states have renewable portfolio goals.[63] RPSs encourage investment in new renewable generation and can guarantee a market for this generation. States and jurisdictions can further encourage investment in specific resources, such as wind power, by including a "carve-out" or set-aside in an RPS, as is the case in Illinois, Minnesota, and New Mexico.
- Development of new transmission infrastructure
One of the greatest barriers to investment in new renewable generation and tapping the full potential of resources such as solar and wind is the lack of necessary electricity transmission infrastructure. While estimated wind and solar resources are vast, frequently the areas with the most abundant concentrations of these resources are remote and far removed from end-users of electricity. Policies that promote the build-out of new electricity transmission lines allow access to these resources and can provide additional incentives for utilities to invest in them.

[4] The levelized cost of electricity is an economic assessment of the cost of electricity generation from a representative generating unit of a particular technology type (e.g. wind, coal) including all the costs over its lifetime: initial investment, operations and maintenance, cost of fuel, and cost of capital. The levelized cost does not include costs associated with transmission and distribution of electricity. For all resources, levelized cost estimates vary considerably based on uncertainty and variability involved in calculating costs for electricity. This includes assumptions made about the size and application of the system, what taxes and subsidies are included, location of the system, and others.

[6] The power (P) available in the area swept by the wind turbine rotor can be calculated using the following equation: P (in Watts = J/s = (kg*m2)/s3))= 0.5 * (air density, ~1.225 kg/m3) * (area of rotor in m2) * (wind speed in m/s) 3. The 33 percent increase in power from a 10 percent increase in speed can be illustrated using a sample calculation (simplifying the equation to represent the first three variables on the left, which are simply multipliers, as X). At 10 meters per second (m/s), P = X*(10)3 = 1000X. If we increase the wind speed by 10 percent, to 11 m/s, P = X*(11)3 = 1331X. Windspeed has increased 10 percent, and available power has increased by 33 percent.
[8] This is the area covered by the rotor blades as they make a rotation. More efficient turbines produce more energy for a given amount of area covered.

[39] The PTC is currently 2.2¢/kWh, however one cannot simply add 2.2¢/kWh to cost estimates to yield a cost without the PTC, as the PTC is limited to 10 years and is furthermore not available to all investors. The analysis is further complicated by the 2009 stimulus bill, which extended the PTC and provided the option of an investment tax credit in lieu of the PTC. Nonetheless, a rough estimate is that the non-PTC price would be 2 cents per kWh higher than the PTC price. The in-service deadline for the PTC is December 31, 2012.

Counting down the days untill DJ Augustin's contract expires.
Shawnee Williams arrested again... What a waste...
Except for his .289 FG%, of course. That's D.J. Augustin-esque.
I made the same question in the past here but from what i recall nobody had answered so here it goes.
Under all these bleak years under Jim O'Brien and the poor playing personnel why didn't we tank a season in order to get a high draft pick?I am in no favour of tanking in general but since it was clear that we were heading nowhere for some years,why didn't we do that?
1) You play to win the game. There is no honor in losing.
2) Losing begets losing. There are winning and losing cultures. If you lose on purpose, you throw your culture away and doom yourself to more losing.
I'm all about doing what it takes to put yourself in the best position to win a championship, but even I can't get behind tanking on purpose.
Now, a better question might be, during those awful years, why did we ride washed up veterans like Posey, Murphy, etc instead of playing and developing our youth? Well, that answer is easy. We had a bad coach and bad management.
Those 2 points are correct and i get you.But would it harm for one season?I mean i think they were finishing those seasons with a negative record,would it hurt that much if the margin was bigger for one season?Couldn't the tank be more "controllable" and not reach Bobcats level?
2 words why
It's not in his style. Winning only no taste for losing.
Why do the Pistons not play Greg and Andre together at end of games?
Great news for Pacer fans!! Pistons playing in double overtime game in Brooklyn tonight. Fantastic game if you've tuned in after the Pacer game was over.
No it's not good news man.Last time we faced a team that were coming out of a double OT the night before,we lost the game.
Great game coming up between Denver and Memphis.

"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."
----------------- Reggie Miller
Don't you mean at all?
They have played less than 10 minutes together combined for the season.
You can come up with a hundred different reasons. My guess is were tanking. That's the only justification to playing a guy with 2 rebounds 38 minutes while the guy with 9 and 3 blocks plays 18.
It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.
Division Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 1989, 1990, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
Conference Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 2005
NBA Champions 1989, 1990, 2004
Stern's concussion-proofing of the NBA enters it's test phase:
Factually, according to NBA.com, Monroe and Drummond have played 66 minutes and 30 seconds together, and have a plus/minus of -4. It's the 8th best player combination involving Drummond. Of course, two of those include Austin Daye and Khris Middleton, so it's really the 6th best combination involving Drummond.
there is no way in hell they have played 66 minutes together. That simply is not true.
Kyrie Irving has a broken jaw. He's going to wear a mask and keep playing, but man that guy's about made of glass.
I dunno. Broken jaw doesn't scream injury prone to me. I haven't been following the other injuries though.
I love me some Ricky Rubio!! Welcome back and way to play dude didn't skip a beat. Look forward to many healthy years from one of my favorite players.
Kyrie's cool with the mask
He spun his mask off on that play.

JEFF Roberts says that he had no choice but to put his work commitments first as he stepped down as joint manager of Calne Town this week.
The 42-year-old, who lives in Swindon, took over as co-boss of the Lilywhites in May 2010 alongside Nick Vitale.
But he has called time on his spell in charge at Bremhill View, leaving Calne sitting third in the Toolstation League First Division.
Roberts says that an increased workload left him unable to carry on at Town and that son Jordan's switch from Calne to Swindon Supermarine also had a bearing on his decision.
"I actually wanted to step down before Christmas but I was convinced by some of the other coaching staff to stay on. I've had so much extra work come up recently that I just needed a break," said Roberts.
"There's always been so much to do at the club and at the end of the day, your work and your family life is more important than football but I think I'll probably miss it in a month.
"Jordan leaving to go and join Supermarine also played a part in it and it's a shame but I had to make the decision to have a break."
Assistant boss Tony Brown will step into Roberts' shoes and become joint manager alongside Drew Youngsam.
Club vice-chairman John Rumming wanted to keep Roberts and is hoping that the players he brought to the club won't follow suit.
"I didn't want to see him leave but there's nothing that we can do. He isn't going to be a stranger though and he did say that you never know what could happen next season," said Rumming.
"We let Jeff tell the players on Tuesday but when they all came out, the feeling seemed to be that they wanted to carry on, so hopefully that's what will happen."

We had some great entries in our impromptu photo contest. It was a lot of fun to read how people enjoy spending quality time outdoors and fuel their fun with Bob's products. Here is just a snippet of the awesome entries we received. Clearly, we picked more than five winners- we picked seven because we got exactly seven entries. Thank you to everyone who entered the contest. Look for more fun contests coming soon!
Allison from Barre, Mass wrote to tell us that she enjoys a 2 mile hike every day and fuels it with one of the following: Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal, Creamy Brown Rice or Gluten Free Pancake Mix.
Krista from McMinnville, OR wrote, "On a beautiful sunny day in Oregon, my sister and I love to spend time outdoors hiking at a park. We love the sun rays on our face, the songs of the birds, and seeing the green lush landscapes.â€
Mike from Beaverton, OR sent us pictures of agility training with his dogs. Just love this photo!
Gregory from Ridgeland, SC sent us a photo of the awesome cake he baked for Easter using our gluten free products. "It was so moist and my grandmother said it was the best Carrot Cake she's ever had.â€
Tammy from Jamestown, NY wrote that her favorite outdoor activities are enjoying parks, the zoo and the botanical gardens with her kids, "All of these would not be possible without Bob's Red Mill's GF wonderful White Bread toasted with a little butter, cinnamon, and sugar to start the day out right.â€Â Â
Jennifer of Lombard, IL sent some of the best photos of her son enjoying our Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Mix. Jennifer put it very nicely and stated, "While the pics I took of my son enjoying your product out of the bowl before baked (that's how good it is!) aren't really pics of doing something out in some nice weather…they are however, what I would consider relaxing and make me happy…happy to cook something for my son that he CAN eat and loving the pure joy he gets out of licking the bowl!â€Â Can't get a better review than that!
Last, but certainly not least, Jean from Bellingham, WA sent this photo. I think it's clear what she likes to do on her free time.

Four-Step Chicken: Kid-Friendly Piccata
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound thin-cut boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup button mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced (or other veggie your kids like: onions, carrots, peas or green beans)
1/2 cup chicken stock
Juice of 1 lemon, plus lemon wedges, for garnish
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Chopped parsley (optional)
1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish and dredge the chicken through it, coating the chicken on both sides. Place the chicken in the hot skillet and brown until golden brown and crusty, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
2. Add the mushrooms (or other vegetables) to the pan and cook, stirring often, until they are softened and starting to brown, about 5 minutes.
3. Deglaze the pan with the chicken stock and lemon juice, using a wooden spoon to stir and scrape up any browned bits from the pan bottom.
4. Stir in the butter until it is melted, then add the chicken back to the sauce. Top with chopped parsley or other herbs, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges (for those who want a tangier dish). Serves 4.
— Melissa d'Arabian
It's green, has three little round balls inside it and makes a crispy snap when bitten into — if it's bitten into.
This is not a guessing game. It's dinnertime, when many parents brace themselves to find out whether their little picky eater will take a bite or not — in this case — into a fresh pea pod.
Knowing that frustration firsthand, Melissa d'Arabian, fifth-season winner of "The Next Food Network Star" and host of "Ten Dollar Dinners," developed "The Picky Eaters Project" to tackle the daily battle many busy parents go through.
"I know what it's like to have picky eaters," she said, calling her new Web series a "labor of love."
"I always sort of wondered why a couple of them were picky and a couple of them were not picky. As I suspected, pickiness turns out to be a very complex issue with a lot of root causes behind it."
That's when the mother of four began creating a program for her daughters — 8-year-old Valentine, 7-year-old Charlotte and 6-year-old twins Margaux and Oceane.
"I felt like I needed more than a handful of recipes or a smattering of tips. I felt like I needed an actual program," she said.
The steps part of the program includes getting the picky eater to help with menu planning, something d'Arabian calls the progressive swap (for instance, going from white bread the picky eater loves to wheat bread then whole-wheat bread) and a 15-minute "No Screen Zone" period before dinnertime.
"I, personally, notice that my kids were crankier and pickier if they had 'screen time' — that's in front of the TV, computers, iPads. Getting them outside is a good way to get them hungry," she said. "Remember when you were a kid , out skiing or bike riding all day or playing baseball, then you'd come home to eat something and you were so ravenous that it tasted so good?"
D'Arabian said she wanted to share her process with others via FoodNetwork.com because she "hated that people didn't have a solution that didn't involve that you failed as a parent."
"There's always that, 'Have your kids cook with you so they'll want to eat it,' or 'Don't feed them chicken nuggets all the time.' I just kind of think it's oversimplified," she said. "The subtext to all of that is that you're a bad parent, and that's not always the case."
Parents are not let off the hook here, she emphasized, but d'Arabian does think some parents should be given some slack.
"There are a lot of parents who have done it 'the right way' or do the 'right things' most of the time and still have picky kids," she said. "If there weren't some other element at play, why would I have four kids who I raised all the same with varying levels of pickiness?"
While a self-proclaimed cauliflower skeptic, Valentine isn't quite the picky eater compared to her sisters, according to d'Arabian. Instead the twins and Charlotte tend to be a little more fussy about their food.
"Charlotte's not the roll-my-eyes kind of picky eater, but the program was helpful for her," d'Arabian said of her daughter who loves raw cheese but not melted cheese. "Her taste hasn't changed a ton, but her willingness has really changed, and that to me is a huge plus. As a result of her willingness to try new foods, she's finding new foods that she likes. She's super proud that she likes green peas — she just couldn't believe it."
The eight-week online workshop isn't a guaranteed fix-all, but d'Arabian believes it can help families make strides during mealtime.
"The bigger picture for me is developing a positive relationship with food and creating a willing palate," she said.
"The Picky Eaters Project" launched in late September and has caught the attention of not just parents, but other people who deal with finicky palates.
"People have been sending me messages on Twitter and Facebook, reaching out to me because their husband or boyfriend are picky," d'Arabian said, laughing. "This can work for any picky eater — adult or child. It's really useful information no matter how old the picky eater."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The major U.S. averages edged up Friday as a strong read on American consumer confidence provided a slight respite from worries about the fiscal cliff and the eurozone. Stocks pared early gains, however after President Barack Obama addressed the U.S. fiscal cliff at the White House's East Room on Friday afternoon. Congress is expected to begin tackling the issue next week. Obama reiterated his belief that higher taxes for wealthy Americans will be necessary to address the deficit. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added a little more than 4 points, or 0.03%, to close at 12,815. The blue-chip index lost 2.12% for the week, its worst performance in more than five months. Year-to-date, it's still up 4.89%. Breadth within the Dow was positive with winners ahead of losers, 18 to 12. The leading blue chips were Boeing ( BA), Caterpillar ( CAT), and AT&T ( T). The biggest percentage decliners among the blue chips were Walt Disney ( DIS), UnitedHealth Group ( UNH), and Hewlett Packard ( HPQ). Shares of Walt Disney fell 6% after the media and entertainment giant posted an in-line quarterly profit after Thursday's closing bell as net income rose 14% year-over-year but revenue came up short of the consensus estimate. The S&P 500 rose more than 2 points, or 0.17%, to finish at 1380. The index closed down 2.43% for the week, also its worst performance in five months, but remains up 9.72% year-to-date. The Nasdaq settled up more than 9 points, or 0.32%, at 2905. The technology-heavy index lost 2.59% this week and is now holding 11.50% gain for 2012. Breadth was roughly even on both exchanges. Volume totaled 3.63 billion on the New York Stock Exchange and 1.80 billion on the Nasdaq. The strongest sectors in the broad market, which was mostly positive, were capital goods, health care, and technology. Transportation, basic materials and utilities were in the red. "Concerns over the fiscal cliff are heating up -- a move away from riskier assets and the U.S. dollar as a safe haven -- which means the coming few weeks could be a long slog before the year ends," said Christopher Vecchio, an analyst at DailyFX. "If bickering between Democrats and Republicans ensues, expect coal this Christmas instead of a Santa Claus rally," Vecchio continued. "We'll get our first insights into the debt negotiations today when the reinvigorated President, fresh off of Tuesday's win, will address the nation on the fiscal cliff shortly after the lunch hour."
