We're Appauled, Too
Have you ever heard the saying, "Don't do anything to other's [sic] that you wouldn't want done to you?" Obviously not! I was totally appauled [sic] at the article about being a Power Dancer ["A Little Flesh, A Little Dance, Little Sequins on Your Pants," by Megan Halverson, November 28]. Those ladies work extremely hard most every day of the week for minimum wage. They do it because they love to dance and they love the Rockets. Is this what they get in return for all they do?
I have the utmost respect for each and every one of those ladies. I am sure that their feelings where [sic] hurt when the cover of your magazine stated in big, bold letters: "A Little FLESH, A Little DANCE, Little SEQUINS on Your Pants." That is degrading to say the least. How about a headline like, "ROLE MODELS, PRO DANCERS AND HARD WORKING LADIES WITH MORE THAN ONE JOB." I'm sure each of those ladies has a career, along with spending all of their free time practicing and dancing at games. I danced as a WORLD FAMOUS KILGORE COLLEGE RANGERETTE, and I know how time consuming and demanding something like this must be. It takes self-discipline and initiative, qualities that many people in today's world are unfamiliar with.
I believe that those dancers deserve a public apology for leading your readers to believe that they are trashy and sleezy [sic]. If they are good enough to dance for the Rockets, they are good enough to dance professionally anywhere their heart desires ... it's surely not a "last chance to dance professionally."
Please consider writing more positive and uplifting articles when the group your [sic] covering is so deserving. I know that several of those ladies are public school teachers, trying to service the public in a positive and productive manner, unlike this article would lead people to believe. I wouldn't doubt that Megan Halverson wished she could be in their place. This article gave you four pages to help fill your paper at 14 ladies' expense.
Annette Stark
Editor's reply: Just one question, Annette. Did they teach spelling at WORLD FAMOUS KILGORE COLLEGE?
But Now Lanier Will Confiscate Their Cole-Haans
I read with great interest Jim Simmon's putdown of Kingwood residents and their fight to stave off annexation ["Nature's Call," December 19]. Put yourself in their Cole-Haans, Jimbo: higher taxes for fewer and less extensive city services. What a deal! I can't believe they tried to pass that up. A local car dealer can charge them for an El Dorado, promise them an Impala and give them a Geo. Bet they'll be knocking down the dealership door once they find out.
What does the word "overprivileged" mean (Word Perfect 7.0 doesn't recognize it)? Is it a synonym for "working hard to achieve"? Not likely. Sounds to me your word more likely means "inherited too much money."
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.

If there are more than a handful of "overprivileged" people in Kingwood, I'd be surprised. Most of them are (were) living the American Dream and paid the price for it: a lot of hard work ... and a long daily commute.

Maybe You Should Run for Mayor, Too
The name for Rob Mosbacher's band is quite similar to that of our band, Hot Flash, for which we have a DBA ["Straight Outta West U," The Insider, by Tim Fleck, December 12]. Depending on the quality of his band, it could bring us business, or take it away. In any event, it is likely to cause confusion.

We were very were excited to announce the general availability of VMware vCloud Suite 5.1 last September, along with even more updates around cloud management capabilities in October. If you're still not sure what the vCloud Suite can do for your company, fear not – we're here to explain it all to you.
According to the CIO/IDG 2012 IT Decision Makers Survey, nine out of ten IT leaders choose the cloud for three key reasons:
- To improve agility;
- To cut costs;
- And to add value.
However, setting up and maintaining a seamless cloud infrastructure can often take a lot of time and effort, costing your company valuable time and resources.
We have helped many customers dramatically reduce expenses and save time through server consolidation, virtualization and automation. The VMware vCloud Suite takes this one step further – VMware vCloud Suite is the only truly integrated cloud infrastructure solution that combines VMware's key components of virtualization, cloud infrastructure and management into a single product and virtually operates each individual layer.
The VMware vCloud Suite is available in Standard Edition, Advanced Edition and Enterprise Edition, and includes seven of VMware's virtualization products: vSphere, vCloud Director and vCloud Connector, vCloud Network and Security, vCenter Site Recovery Manager, vCenter Operations Management Suite, vFabric Application Director and vCloud Automation Center – everything you need for a mature Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) Cloud.
Key benefits to VMware's vCloud Suite include:
- Rapid response times and access to resources and applications: With VMware's vCloud Automation Center, vCloud Suite empowers IT managers to deliver a policy-controlled self-service of IT tasks through a user-friendly portal, enabling the provisioning of virtual machines and multi-tier applications within minutes. vCloud Automation Center also enables the ability to expand available capacity to business units onsite and offsite.
- Automated IT operations management: vCenter Operations Management provides performance monitoring, detection of unwanted changes and proactive alerts to ensure that IT can react to SLA challenges in a timely manner.

In June 2009, Fiat took a 20-percent stake in Chrysler as the Italian automaker took control of Chrysler after its bankruptcy proceedings. While it was known Fiat had plans to increase its stake in Chrysler as its balance sheet strengthened, new reports suggest that Fiat may take a majority 51-percent share of Chrysler as early as this year before an initial public offering.
This year, Fiat expects it will get another 15-percent stake in Chrysler once the company begins manufacturing a small engine in the U.S. and meets sales objectives outside of North America, helping to prove Chrysler's new viability to the U.S. government. Once this occurs and Chrysler repays the U.S. and Canadian government loans, Fiat will have an option to buy another 16-percent of Chrysler, giving it a total 51-percent majority.
"I think it is possible, don't know whether it is likely, but it is possible that we go over the 50 percent [stake] if Chrysler decides to go to the market in 2011," Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Fiat and Chrysler Group, told Bloomberg. "There will be an advantage if that happens."
According to UBS analyst Philippe Houchois, that advantage is a significant cost savings. Houchois estimates that Fiat could save anywhere from $1 to $2.7 billion by taking a 51-percent stake in Chrysler before the company goes public.
Despite the admission that Fiat may take a majority share of Chrysler, Marchionne said that he has no plans to fully merge Chrysler and Fiat. Marchionne also reiterated that Chrysler's IPO could take place as soon as the second half of 2011.

Department Bulk Mail
In order to qualify as a Bulk Mail, there needs to be a minimum of 200 pieces. All pieces need to be the same weight and size. A sample must be provided with your request for weight purposes. It can be sent through departmental mail to the mail room.
Pleases schedule the bulk mail request at least 2 weeks before desired mail date by filling out and submitting a Bulk Mailing Form. An email is sent in response to the request assigning a bulk mail number, the date of pickup (if needed) and the date the mail will be processed. All correspondence and media should be identified with the bulk mail number. Use only the bulk mail number to identify the excel file, the subject line on your email, any heading on the file, or correspondence connected to the bulk mail request. If the media is to be dropped off by CMC, the bulk mail number must identify the media. This will prevent any confusion when there are numerous requests in progress. Please provide 20 extra pieces.
The department requesting the bulk mailing must provide the mailing list through an email file and sent to Doug Stefnoski (email@example.com). The file needs to use an Excel format in this order:
- Business name
- Surname (first and last name)
- Address 1
- Address 2
- Zip code, city, state
A sample is attached to give you an example of what the file should include: /sites/default/files/campus/BulkMailFormat.docx
The best procedure for when envelopes need stuffed is to have the envelopes printed before stuffing. The mail room can assist with stuffing the envelopes if it is a single sheet and the number is less than 1000. Sufficient notice should be given. Contact the mail room to see if it can be added to the schedule.
If you have any questions, please be sure to contact the mail room (898-6494).

What Went Wrong?
No matter how hard you try to "do the right thing," someday you will probably encounter this message on your video display: "file not found." Worse, it will probably be the most critical data you own. It's one of Murphy's Laws. You may even be faced with a storage device that simply does not respond. You're caught without a backup and you need your data. Desperately! What can you do?
Do not panic! Consider this Rule #1. In most cases, your data is fully recoverable. However, to successfully recover your data, it is critical that you can confidently answer the question, "What happened?" If you can determine what event caused your data to become inaccessible, you have just taken the most important step toward recovering it. Listed below are the most common causes of data loss, and survival tips for each situation.
Accidental Erasure
It happens to all of us. If your fingers go out of control and you accidentally erase a needed file (or files), don't panic! If you have deleted a file under DOS, for example, you can use the "undelete" feature provided with DOS 5.0, or you can use the similarly-named utility that is provided with any number of disk utility packages. This is where Norton Utilities, PC Tools Deluxe, DosUtils and other disk maintenance/file recovery tool boxes pay for themselves.
The key to success is to undelete your erased file immediately. Once a file has been deleted, your computer will not hesitate to record new information in its place. If you or anyone else stores new data on the media that you were using, your file will probably be overwritten, thus preventing a successful recovery.
Disk Drive Mechanical Failure
Most users will find these types of problems difficult to identify, and if you suspect mechanical failure, you need to proceed carefully. If you know, for example, that your data has not been deleted yet you are unable to access it, you should consider the possibility that your disk drive is not functioning properly. Again, do not panic! But beware. In these situations, if you use file recovery software tools, you may cause irreparable harm to your data. Drives that are suffering mechanical or electrical failure are in no condition to be manipulating your data, any more than a drunk surgeon can operate.
Rule #2: Do not use file recovery software if you suspect an electrical or mechanical drive failure. You must correct the mechanical or electrical problem first, usually a job for an expert.
If your hard drive experiences a "head crash"--when the data write/read heads touch and thereby damage the surface of the media--there are no commercially available software packages that will help you. If you suspect a head crash situation, immediately turn off the power to your computer. The longer the heads are in contact with the media, the worse the problem will become. Believe it or not, data can be recovered from some head crash situations. But you will need expert help. Details in a moment.
Disk Drive Electrical Failure or Controller Card Failure
Again, if you know that you haven't deleted the file you are trying to access, you may be experiencing this particular type of problem. We have observed that electrical failures occur more frequently than mechanical failures, so it would be a good idea to have an experienced technician replace the interface cards on your hard drive. These cards are available at larger computer stores, used computer dealers and repair shops, and drive repair companies.
Above all, remember Rule #2: do not use file recovery software until your drive and controller are functioning properly. Buyer beware: some file recovery programs claim to automate the retrieval of your data, and can be very useful in some situations. But if used on a drive with mechanical or electrical failure, these programs can cost you hundreds and thousands of dollars by actually destroying what was previously recoverable data!
General Data Corruption
This category consists of the most difficult data recovery challenges. General data corruption includes data loss due to viruses, errors introduced during a data compression process, corrupted or deleted directories or file allocation tables and other similar disasters.
If you have a virus, use the best anti-virus program available to detect and hopefully eradicate it. There are many such programs available, but I endorse Dr. Solomon's Anti-Virus Toolkit as being the best overall package. If the virus has corrupted your data, you should check your backup (if you have one) for viruses as well. If your anti-virus software does not solve your problem, you should consult a data recovery expert who is prepared to deal with such issues.
Data compression is becoming more popular with users who wish to upgrade the hard disk capacity of their computer without replacing their hard drive. Although data compression is quite useful in serving its intended purpose, understand that a reliable backup is mandatory. If you are using data compression, and you experience any of the above electrical or mechanical failures, your chances for data recovery are greatly diminished. Traditional file recovery software packages cannot read or sort compressed data. In short, what you gain in increased disk capacity can be completely lost if you do not maintain a reliable backup.
Human Error
Human error is without a doubt the number one data killer. Take for example the man whose toddler threw his laptop computer in the hot tub. Or the employee of a well-known tape backup manufacturer who had failed to backup their customer database. Or the network manager who had numerous backups of the network data, and trashed each backup, one after another, by repeatedly re-using faulty hardware.
Human error can cause data loss, and human errors can exacerbate the problem. We all make mistakes, but I would be particularly cautious of the "experts" you hire to service your system.
Whom Can You Trust?
Imagine that you or a loved one are ill. Whose help will you seek? An expert's: a licensed physician. Imagine you have a problem with your car. Again, you seek out an expert: a licensed mechanic. If you experience a problem with your computer, you also seek out an expert. However, it has been my observation that we commonly make the mistake of defining a computer "expert" as anyone who knows more about computers than we do.
In the data recovery industry, we have seen hundreds of unrecoverable situations caused by "experts" who have misused file recovery utilities, opened up disk drives in an unsterile environment, and generally lacked the specialized expertise truly necessary to facilitate what should have been a successful recovery. We have seen one "expert" attempt to recover a single spreadsheet file and, with the aid of his file recovery utility, create 256 unrecoverable pieces of spreadsheet. We have seen disk drives opened up by "handymen" who simply wanted to "take a look under the hood," so to speak. The smeared fingerprints on the media surfaces prevented a complete recovery.
Rule #3: Do not entrust your data to someone who lacks the training and expertise to solve your problem. And if you do, don't be surprised if you're told that your data is unrecoverable.
What about reentering the data yourself? While this option may appear inexpensive, the costs of rebuilding data are staggering. IDC Corporation estimated the cost of rebuilding just 20 megabytes of data, and the results for different types of data are shown in Figure 1.
Data recovery service is sometimes viewed as the last resort. In fact, when used as a first resort, professional data recovery service provides you with the best chance to return to business - your business, what you do best - as quickly and successfully as possible. By consulting an expert, your situation may prove to be easy for you to correct yourself (in the case of an accidentally deleted file, for example). If not, then the more valuable your data is to you, the safer you will feel in the hands of professionals.
Even data recovery experts vary in the quality of equipment, technological resources and skills they possess. So be sure you ask questions about their expertise with your particular situation:
- What is their success rate with your type of equipment and operating system (such as network file servers)?
- Do they have a clean room in the event that your drive must be opened under dust-free conditions?
- Will they be doing the work themselves, or sending it to another source?
- How quickly will your data be returned?
- Will your data be kept confidential?
- How long have they been in business?
- Can they provide you with references?
Remember that an outside inexperienced "expert" is no improvement over an in-house inexperienced "expert." With so much at stake, you should be very selective.
Following the Rules
Proper planning will help you cope with any data loss disaster, even fires, floods, and earthquakes. If you plan to protect your data, it stands an excellent chance of survival. Follow the guidelines given here, and you need never give up on your data.

If you've thought about using SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor to determine the upgradability of your SQL Server 2000 cluster, be aware of the following issue. When you launch the Upgrade Advisor Analysis Wizard, you're prompted for the Server Name, which defaults to that of the local machine where the wizard is running. When scanning a cluster you need to enter the name of the Virtual SQL Server Instance. After checking the SQL Server component and clicking the next button, you'll be given a list of instances to scan.
The list of instances will include all SQL Server instances, whether they are local to the active node, or if they belong to other virtual SQL Server instances that run on the cluster. Selecting an instance other than the instance owned by the Virtual SQL Server cluster will ultimately raise an error when the wizard attempts to connect to the server and enumerate the list of available databases. To avoid this error, be sure to select the appropriate instance for the "server" you're connected to.

Ana Carams music is defined by the blending of traditional Brazilian rhythms with the sounds of American Jazz. She is a true prot'g' of Antonio Carlos Jobim who sought to bring the musical culture of Brazil and the United States together. It can be said that Jobim's greatest contribution to music was combining the samba with the sounds of 50's West Coast Jazz. Taking Jobim's lead Ana Caram's Hollywood Rio blends the sounds of her roots in her native Sao Paolo with the music of Los Angeles.
The album Hollywood Rio is Caram's tribute to the music of Hollywood. Combining her sultry voice and passionate Brazilian flare with L.A.'s cool electric sound Caram sings such Hollywood classics such as "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" from the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and "As Time Goes By" from Bogart's Casablanca. Together with Michel Friedenson's rich electric orchestral arrangements Hollywood Rio is a 21st century look at Hollywood past.

Automatic Data Processing (NASDAQ:ADP[1]) — This is one of the world's largest independent computing services companies and the largest provider of payroll outsourcing services, offering tax filing and benefits administration.
The company has a buyback program in force and recently increased its annual dividend by 10% to $1.74, marking the 38th consecutive year of dividend increases. The stock currently yields more than 3%.
ADP earned $2.82 in fiscal year (FY) 2012 versus analysts' estimates of $2.75. It is expected to earn $2.91 in FY 2013, ended in June.
Technically the stock is in a long-term bull market, and on Nov. 29, it popped through its 200-day and 20-day moving averages, reversing from its bullish support line and confirming the trend. Note the high accumulation and MACD buy signal. The target for ADP is $65.

Tire pressure loss warning
This system analyses a range of measured variables and displays a visual prompt to check the tire pressure in case of deviations indicating falling tire pressure.
The tire pressure loss warning system operates on the basis of indirect measurements.
On detecting probable pressure loss in a tire a general warning appears on the display, prompting the driver to check the tire pressures.
In contrast to the tire pressure monitoring system, the tire pressure loss warning system performs indirect measurements without any additional sensors in the wheels. The ESP®-based system ("Active tire pressure monitoring" appears on the display) continuously compares the speeds of the wheels. The control unit additionally takes account of dynamic variables such as lateral acceleration, turn rate and wheel torque.
Should the system detect any conspicuous deviations which indicate declining air pressure in a tire, the warning "Check tire pressure" will appear in red letters on the central display. The system requires to be restarted via the operating menu after changing a tire or changing the air pressure in individual tires. The system is temporarily unable to provide warnings during the learning process which follows such a restart.

David Cameron went to Manchester today to persuade the city's voters of the painful necessity of spending cuts. He might have saved the Downing Street travel budget a train fare because they already know what's coming — and it frightens them.
In brisk exchanges over 55 minutes, the prime minister fielded 19 questions on topics ranging from SureStart and Turkish entry into the EU (no foreign policy gaffes today) to NHS dentistry and — from a teenage anorak — the West Lothian question. But time and time again the underlying issue was cuts, "brutal cuts" as one Mancunian put it. Not brutal, but necessary, Cameron insisted. We don't want to end up like Greece.
When Tony Blair sought out hostile voters he called it his "masochism strategy". But Blair's tormentors were usually angry, about Iraq or civil liberties, vocally disappointed with a government from which they had expected too much.
Cameron is luckier. He starts from lower levels of expectation and can still blame Labour's legacy ("very good at spending money") or the compromises of coalition with the unmentioned Lib Dems. I'm afraid we've had to put that policy into review, he said more than once.
His audience in an informal corner of the G-Mex convention centre, 100 or so self-selected listeners of Radio Key 103, were a mixed bunch, more public than private sector, young as well as greying, the kind of respectable folk who vote.
Far from being angry, most sounded resigned to tax rises and cuts. What the PM faced was not outrage, but an eloquent wall of pain. One man in dreadlocks quoted Cameron's Hugo Young lecture at the Guardian back at him: "When deep poverty coexists with prosperity, we are all the poorer."
Cameron deftly acknowledged the point but urged his listeners to look behind the poverty to its causes: family breakdown, drugs, poor education. SureStart? An excellent antidote, but critics say the "sharp-elbowed middle classes, like my wife and me, get all the services". We must try harder, he said.
The questions piled in. What about careers advice? And threatened grants to arts groups which give youngsters confidence? What about help for small businesses and public sector contracts for the struggling construction industry? Renewable energy? You don't get it, they repeatedly suggested.
This was only Cameron's fourth session of Prime Minister Direct, but he did nearly 80 Cameron Directs before the election and has got it down to a fine art. He chairs his own sessions, aided only by an expressive forefinger, takes supplementary questions, but only when it suits him, and cuts people off.
In his white shirt sleeves he remains completely in control, swept in at the appointed hour and swept out again — alone — to catch the 3.15 home. No foreplay, no cuddles after the performance. .
But it was all gracefully done and fluent. Questioners were "sir" and "young lady". All questions were "very good questions", ones he was glad they asked. Unable to answer an unfairly sacked teacher or a woman shaking with emotion over mistreatment of young asylum seekers, Cameron promised to look into it, and was unphased.
So £30,000-a-year's worth of Etonian manners emerges like a good investment. Only twice did the mask slip. Once, when a second questioner asked about help for parents of disabled children. "Thank you for what you do, please keep it up, don't let go,' he said. Suddenly the audience realised he was thinking of Ivan, his own dead son.
And right towards the end, a feisty young woman with red hair became the only questioner to challenge his macro-economic judgment that early spending cuts will help restore growth, not kill it off.
Woman: "I'm going to introduce myself because my mum and dad are watching … "
PM: " Mum and Dad, she's on TV … "
Woman:" Will you say hello to my friend, Sharon, she's got a crush on you."
PM: "I shouldn't have started this."
Blair would have been cheesier, but also warmer, more charismatic, funnier, more blatant. Cameron is a man for the New Austerity.

Could this be some form of panic attack?I don't remember exactly when this was now but I was wondering if this could be some form of panic attack. I sometimes get some chest paint kinda like heart burn but this time it actually felt like I was having some sort of heart attack. My chest was hurting and I couldn't sit up because when I did, I just got like a stabbing pain in my chest. I couldn't even sneeze or anything. It lasted ages.

What's Hot Today
He looks different... what is it? No mustache? Put on a little weight? I can't really tell... he just looks different.
The entire convo between Hunt and the new cardio attending I didn't catch. I was watching and listening, but it was quiet and I don't get it. What exactly happened?
I think it would have been a smarter move to give maybe 5 million and bank the other 3, for investing, fallback, nest egg, etc... taking care of herself would be something that Denny would have wanted. Bearing that in mind, the Chief should give Izzy whatever the fook she wants and waive all of her past medical expenses.
Doesn't the clinic that she basically gave the hospital merit anything? Or, does it belong to her?
Why does everyone think Yang runs off all the cardio attendings? I mean, I guess you could say she ran off Burke, in that she didn't really want to marry him so he left (which I would hardly call her fault), but she did not run off the other two. Then again, I didn't even know Dixon left, so maybe Christina did something to run her off that we just didn't get to see. At least Callie was nice enough to take credit for Hahn leaving. Still, it seems like they're being a little hard on her.
Am I alone here or does anyone else hope that the Chief gets either demoted or fired, I can't stand him and haven't been able to stand him for quite some time now.
She looks familiar but I just can't pinpoint it. Thx "C'mon...you're better than that!"
The name means "red-haired" Seriously! How unoriginal can the writers get?
I know her character is sacked, but since she donated all the money to the free clinic shouldn't see still be allowed to work in it? Or hang out if she wanted to? Thanks a heap coyote ugly. This cactus-gram stings even worse than your abandonment
Okay, this episode wasn't as good as some of the others this season but I have to say that I liked the way they showed the chief's fall in the end. The flashbacks, the glass, even though his character annoys me most of the time, this was really sad and very well made. 'you took something perfect and painted it red'

Social networking site Facebook launched a new service on Wednesday within the site that lets users start video conferences with each other using Skype's video chat technology. The chief executives of both companies said the service was free, but teased reporters with suggestions that they might introduce premium features in the future.
That would give Facebook, which primarily makes money off advertising, a new and potentially huge source of revenue if the company starts charging for premium video-calling features with Skype on the website. It could also benefit Microsoft, which has announced its plans to acquire Skype, by giving it access to many potential customers.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the social networking site has 750 million users, and new users join the site on a daily basis. That's a huge audience that might be willing to pay for extra ways to communicate with their friends without leaving the main Facebook website, like starting group video chats or having virtual voicemail inboxes for the service.
"Remember what we did here — an easy, one-button click to call a friend that is on a social network that already has all your friends," Zuckerberg said at an event to unveil the product in Palo Alto, Calif., on Wednesday.
Right now Facebook has two sources of revenue — Facebook credit transactions with games like FarmVille and advertisements, the company's largest source of revenue. The company is reported to be generating nearly as much revenue as companies like Yahoo off its advertising, to the tune of $4.05 billion this year, eMarketer predicts. Social games are also very popular, if social gaming company Zynga's $1 billion IPO is any indication, and Facebook likely makes a lot of money off transactions within those games. Zynga sells nearly 38,000 virtual items every second, and those sales typically use Facebook credits.
Facebook games were largely successful because they rely on a "freemium" model. Here's how it works: players are able to play online games for free but must pay for additional perks like becoming more powerful at a quicker pace. The model was so successful that it has since spread to virtually all types of services, ranging from music streaming to enterprise social networks like Yammer — where companies give out a number of features for free but charge for better, premium features.
Facebook's video calling service only allows one-on-one video chats right now. There are other video conferencing services — Skype included, through its own desktop app — that allow multiple people to join the same video conference. It's useful for business, but the existence of apps like ooVoo has shown that consumers enjoy starting multi-person video conferences too.
Video calling itself is also very popular. More than 50 percent of the calls going through Skype's voice-over-Internet service are video calls, said Skype chief executive Tony Bates. The company also logs more than 300 million minutes of video calling every month, he said at the event today.
It's popular enough to have even snared Google, which added a video conferencing feature to its newest social network, Google+. The Hangouts feature lets up to 10 people join a group video conference and talk amongst themselves. That service is free and works pretty well. VentureBeat's Devindra Hardawar called the Google+ Hangouts feature the "killer feature" of Google+.
Facebook has been diversifying its revenue streams outside of just advertising and transactions. The company recently unveiled Facebook Deals, a competitor for group-buying site Groupon. Video calling could serve as another large source of revenue if it proves as popular on Facebook as it is on other apps and in other ecosystems. The company also incorporated "Facebook Payments," a company based in Florida, in December last year.
The company has not laid out the exact financial details about its deal with Skype yet, but it does seem like a bigger boon for Skype, which will be able to tap into Facebook's massive audience. Skype has around 170 million users compared to Facebook's 750 million users.

Support for the legalization of marijuana is growing in the United States. In a new survey conducted by Gallup nationwide, 50% of the respondents agreed that marijuana should be legalized, and 46% were still against it.
The survey revealed that more younger members of the population, aged 18 to 29, were in favor of legalizing pot (65% of them) compared to those in the 65 and above age category (only 31% of the group).
A statement from Gallup confirmed that during the Oct. 6-9 annual Crime survey for this year, participants who positively responded to the legalization of marijuana reached the all-time high record (so far) of 50%.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse has shown that more Americans choose marijuana as their preferred illegal drug. If the rates favoring marijuana legalization continue to rise, government officials will have to address the clamor and come up with solutions fast.
The record high support for pot legalization comes at a very critical time as debates between pot legalization advocates and state officials continue. In the US, there are 16 states that have approved the use of medical marijuana, and some are mulling for the decriminalization of the recreational use of marijuana.
Yet the federal government remains strong in enforcing laws against marijuana. They have already released notices that they will be going after the biggest medical marijuana industries in California.

At Reading in Beijing, Noted Writer Is Stabbed
The New York Times reports on the recent stabbing of blogger Xu Lai (aka Qianliexian):
In a country where violence against journalists is rare, the bold assault stirred fears and a flurry of rumors. Some people suggested the attack may have stemmed from Mr. Xu's writings, many of which take swipes at government corruption or poke fun at the ruling Communist Party. In recent weeks, Mr. Xu's blog has included items on censorship, the melamine milk scandal and the fire that destroyed part of the new CCTV complex in Beijing last week.
In China, writers are given far more latitude for Web postings than for their work in newspapers and magazines. Still, there are limits to Internet expression.
Mr. Xu's blog, ProState in Flames, was carried by Bullog, a liberal Web site, until the government shut down Bullog last month. His writings can still be found elsewhere on the Internet, although individual postings and links are sometimes deleted by censors.
See also a report from The Times:
The Southern Metropolis Daily said: "Xu Lai is a low-key sort of person and he's just a science journalist who wouldn't provoke anyone. However, there are many things on his blog that can touch a nerve and he has probably made enemies that way."
The newspaper quoted a witness as saying that they heard one of his attackers say: "You brought this on yourself. You know why we're doing this, don't you?"
However, this could also refer to a personal feud as much as to any ideological vendetta over views expressed in his blog.
Black and White Cat has translated the report from Southern Metropolis Daily about the attack.

Happy, healthy and excited to be back on the field with his teammates certainly described Ravens cornerback Lardarius Webb after yesterday's practice.
For Webb, OTA's are something minor in the grand scheme of things however as he enters into his sixth year in the Ravens defensive backfield he's happy just to be a part of it.
"Practice is good, I'm glad. It's kind of fun to get back with the guys," Webb stated following practice.
"[I'm] happy to see some of the faces around here. One thing, the guys are having a good time. I'm going hard, just trying to get back on track."
Webby is back on track this offseason and after missing last season's OTA's due to a knee injury, the significance of Webb hitting the practice field is a sign he's finally 100% healthy.
"It feels good; it feels more bouncy. [I'm] just happy to be on the field, running around with no pain. [I'm] just trying to take over my leadership role that I can in the back end and just be me."
Webb acknowledged that even when he did come back in 2013 that it took awhile for him to get comfortable and get the feel again of opposing wide receivers.
"It was about the middle of the season [before I felt normal]. At first, I was just trying to get the trust back again," he responded when asked about what last year was like for him working his way back from an injury.
"I couldn't plant when I wanted to, couldn't do the things I wanted to do, couldn't jump. Everything just wasn't as fast as I wanted it to be. And then, towards the end of the season, it just started coming back natural, as I kept working on it."
In 2013, Webb posted the NFL's second-most Passes Defensed (22), adding 2 INTs and recorded a career-high 74 tackles (63 solo). His 16 games played in 2013 also matched a career high and it was the first season in which the USA Today All-Joe Team player started all 16 games.
Webb, when healthy, certainly has showed he can be a true shutdown corner in the pass happy NFL.
"I am capable of being a lockdown [cornerback], like I am. I'm just ready for the season and will just keep on working."
"I'm going to get back to where I'm supposed to be."
With huge salary cap implications ($10.5M per salary cap guru Brian McFarland), Webb will certainly need to return to his old form and provide consistent productivity.
The sky is certainly the limit for Webb as the 2014 season approaches if the veteran can stay healthy.
The Ravens opted not to address the third corner position in the draft, showing faith in both Chykie Brown and Asa Jackson as possible replacements for nickel corner Corey Graham who left via free agency.
Webb certainly shares the same faith in them as well.
"They're going to be big for us coming up this year, knowing that we didn't take any corners in the draft. [General manager & executive vice president] Ozzie [Newsome] knows he has two great, young guys that are coming up," Webby responded about both Brown and Jackson.
"You've got Asa Jackson who can play the nickel and outside, but mostly better inside. And Chykie Brown playing good. He's had his chance to get out on the field and [gain] experience, but now he gets thrown in and it's his. He's going to get to show you all what he's capable of."
With Smith and Webb along with Elam and Terrence Brooks, the Ravens secondary will be fun to watch in 2014.
Well, maybe not for opposing quarterbacks…

What happened to the Folk?
The only thing folk about this album may be the lyrics. And this is a great disappoint me, because I am an avid Moonsorrow fan. Unfortunately, the score for my first Moonsorrow review have to be under a 90% -- something I really thought not possible about a few weeks ago.
I don't understand where or how they could have gone this wrong with such a greatly anticipated album (by my aspects, at least), but after digging farther back into their past, I now see signs of this future as far back as Kivenkantaja, the first true example of where we see Moonsorrow's growing tendency to make 8+ minute long songs. Even still, that album was pure beauty. Then came Verisäkeet, which wasn't bad at all, aside for the 14+ minute songs that also began to lack Folk Elements in their music (and LYRICS!!).
However, though, I had never expected them to seemingly completely drop their (or at least have an abscense thereof) folk elements all together...
Hävitetty seems to have confirmed the opposite. Moonsorrow makes atmospheric metal here. Not the lovely Finnish Folk themed metal we're all in love with. Now, don't get me wrong. I love Moonsorrow, and I love this album, it's great, but it deeply lacks purpose. This might as well have been a Drudkh album with clean vocals and heavier tones.
"Jäästä Syntynyt/Varjojen Virta" is probably where most of the disappointment comes in. It's beautiful! It's a Raunioilla for 2007, but it completely lacks ANY of the folk element that the true Raunioilla did. The other song, titled "Tuleen Ajettu Maa" is not so different, but no so much better. The guitars are performed well, the bass is distant but present, the drums are pushed back into the mix (just like on Verisäkeet) as are the vocals, and the keyboards are dissonant (also like on Verisäkeet).
This album was a love/hate relationship for me. It was really good, but it deeply lacked definition.
70% for their efforts. 10% taken away for the lack of Folk elements, 20% taken away for the ridiculously long track lengths.

Settlement Restores Competition For Waste Services In The Norfolk, Virginia Area
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Department of Justice announced today that it has reached a settlement that requires Waste Industries USA Inc. to sell certain small container commercial waste hauling assets, to modify certain customer contracts, and to refrain from certain contracting practices in the Norfolk, Virginia area, in order to resolve the Department's antitrust concerns. The Department said that the acquisition by Waste Industries of waste-hauling assets from Allied Waste Industries Inc. lessened competition for small container commercial hauling services in the region.
The Department's Antitrust Division filed a civil lawsuit today in U.S. District Court in Norfolk, Virginia, seeking to require Waste Industries to divest certain commercial waste hauling assets and prevent Waste Industries from continuing certain anticompetitive contracting practices. At the same time, the Department filed a proposed settlement that, if approved by the court, would resolve the lawsuit and the Department's competitive concerns.
"This settlement ensures that the full benefits of competition - lower prices and better service - will be restored to commercial waste hauling customers in the Norfolk, Virginia area," said Thomas O. Barnett, Acting Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Department's Antitrust Division.
According to the complaint, in August 2003, Waste Industries and Allied were two of only a few providers of waste collection services in the cities of Norfolk; Chesapeake; Virginia Beach; Portsmouth; Suffolk; and Franklin, Virginia and in the county of Southampton, Virginia. The complaint alleges that the August 1, 2003 transaction reduced from four to three the number of significant firms competing in the collection of small container commercial waste, giving Waste Industries control of about 43 percent of that market.
Small container commercial hauling involves the collection of waste from commercial establishments such as retail stores, offices, and restaurants, and the shipment of the collected waste to disposal sites.
Under the proposed settlement, Waste Industries must divest small container commercial hauling assets on certain routes in the Norfolk, Virginia area. Waste Industries has further agreed to alter its existing and future contracts for small container commercial waste-hauling services. The contract modifications will promote competition by making it easier for customers in this area to switch to other small container commercial waste haulers.
Waste Industries, based in Raleigh, North Carolina, provides waste collection and disposal services throughout the Southeastern United States. Waste Industries reported revenues of approximately $291 million in 2004.
Allied Waste Industries, headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, is the second-largest waste hauling and disposal company in the United States. Allied reported sales of approximately
$5.4 billion in 2004.
As required by the Tunney Act, the proposed settlement will be published in The Federal Register, along with the Department's competitive impact statement. Any person may submit written comments concerning the settlement during a 60-day comment period to Maribeth Petrizzi, Chief, Litigation II Section, Antitrust Division, U.S. Department of Justice, 1401 H Street, NW, Suite 3000, Washington, D.C. 20530 (202-307-0924).
At the conclusion of the 60-day comment period, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia may enter the final judgment upon finding that it serves the public interest.

Tigers have short, rewarding softball season
This year's Morris Area/Chokio-Alberta varsity softball season was condensed to just one month, starting with the Tigers' home tournament on April 27 and ending on May 28 in the fifth round of the Section 3AA Tournament.
"This was the worst season weather wise in my 33 years of coaching," said Mary Holmberg.
The team finished 13-9 overall, taking fourth place in Section 3AA.
This year's team had five seniors coming back from a successful 2012 campaign in which the Tigers were 14-3 during the regular season.
Seniors McKenzie Van Batavia, Sadie Fischer, Steph Hennen, Brooke Wente, and Katelyn Vogt led the team and helped keep the team's spirits up through many weeks of indoor practice.
"We will miss you and your leadership," said Holmberg.
A core group of underclassmen also got plenty of experience in those four weeks of action, including six juniors, five sophomores, and two freshmen.
"Your dedication and hard work will pay off for the future," added Holmberg.
The Tigers earned several awards this season.
They received a silver rating in academics from the Minnesota Fastpitch Coaches' Association with a team GPA of 3.73.
Two Tigers were named to the All-West Central Conference Team. They are McKenzie Van Batavia and Brooke Johnson. Nicole Strobel received an Honorable Mention.
Becca Holland and Sadie Fischer were named to the All Section 3AA Team.
Brooke Wente was named to the Academic All-State team.
McKenzie Van Batavia was named to the All-State honorable mention team.

Good review as per usual Mikesn. Consistent quality is what I like to read! I may check this out if I'm feeling bored.
This is a great album no doubt and is probably my favorite. But it is kind of like With Oden On Our Side part 2.
I did like how they mixed things up and added more solos thought.
Great review.

Cross national comparisons of health disparities among aging populations in Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia and Africa
Cross national comparisons of health disparities among aging populations in Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia and Africa
Unequal societies tend to have larger health inequalities. Conditions in low and middle income countries during the 1930s - 1960s led to higher survivorship in early life due to public health interventions including medical technology but this may not have translated into parallel improvements in standard of living during childhood or throughout the life course. As a result, there may be sharper SES health disparities among these survivors of poor early life conditions.
This paper examines this conjecture by matching the relative index of inequality (RII) based on education and household income with the prevalence of chronic conditions (heart disease and diabetes), functional difficulties, obesity, and poor self - reported health among older adults born during the first portion of this period using a recently compiled cross national data set of older adults from Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia, Africa, the US, England, and the Netherlands. The results in general show a positive association between the RII and the prevalence of adult health outcomes (chronic conditions, obesity, and functionality). In particular, the results for diabetes suggest the possibility of a steeper association between SES inequality in education and income and the prevalence of health outcomes among older adults in cohorts hypothesized to have a larger pool of survivors of poor early life conditions.

Summer Glau, Hot Topic Main Stage
She also mentioned how, as a dancer, she is used to things being choreographed, so when she was in Knights of Badassdom, a LARPing movie, it was difficult for her because the action wasn't choreographed.
Of course, the question came up of whether she would want the Firefly universe to continue, but basically she that the short time it lasted was special, and if they went back and did more of it, she doesn't think it would be the same. However, she did admit that she would have liked to experience being the pilot, and that she would like to see what River is like all grown up.
An audience member asked what genre she would like to do that she hasn't already. Summer said that when she first started out, she was interested in doing period pieces, and would like to be in a Jane Austen movie.

A Hidden Acting Agenda is a new term to describe an old phenomenon. These agendas - formed when you, the actor - hide some behavior, attitude or trait because they were the source of criticism or embarrassment in the past.
Let's say that you were told that "you cry too much and it's annoying." So you decide to avoid crying because crying is bad. This decision becomes a Hidden Acting Agenda that subsequently changes every character choice you make.
There may be a list of behaviors or physical traits that others might have disapproved of, such as: talking too loudly, talking too softly, making too many faces, a too even temper, weird-looking eyes, and so on.
Or, you might have come to the conclusion, all by yourself, that you have a specific flaw. Such as telling yourself you can't do comedy because no one laughs at your jokes.
Hiding traits you feel (or have been convinced) are "wrong" guarantees that your character will not be as complete or as interesting as possible. You may feel safer by avoiding a sensitive area, but the character you portray will be weaker without your hidden vulnerabilities.
Hidden Acting Agendas prevent you from fully discovering your full potential. This is because every character will be missing these "undesirable traits" that make you unique. But you will never know the effect your Hidden Acting Agendas could have if you avoid confronting the discomfort of revealing your "flaws" by thought or deed.
You must think like an adventurer and risk exploring each and every "flaw," whether it came from someone else or from inside yourself. Adventuring into and uncovering your Hidden Acting Agenda is essential to developing your acting to the highest level possible.
The rewards for exposing your Hidden Acting Agenda can be enormous. Once you stop hiding those traits, your acting can blossom in unexpected ways. Connecting with, and then developing what you may consider your flaws are life giving to characters. Your unique qualities are what differentiate you from other actors.
You arouse feelings in an audience, a casting director, or anyone because you are tapping in to the parts of yourself that you have kept hidden. These flaws resonate with an audience when you allow them to exist as part of your character presentation. When we see an actor reveal herself and allow us to observe what we sense to be an imperfection, we are moved.
Interestingly, your faults and shortcoming can often become the most affecting elements of your acting. The best acting ingredients are always personal and real, and they should be used as the tools they are, not hidden away.
So take some time, be honest with yourself, and write down your Hidden Acting Agenda(s). This will give you a map for this adventure. As you explore those traits, bringing them out of the shadows, you will find yourself growing as an actor.

When most people go for a run, they head to their nearest park or round the block – but Charlotte Duxbury had other ideas.
The 21-year-old entered the world's northernmost half marathon, in Svalbard, which is inside the Arctic Circle.
She trained for the 13.1-mile course in Norway, where she was working as a host in a ski lodge after graduating from the University of Durham.
Charlotte, from Brinscall, said: "I wanted a big challenge and the idea of finishing this Arctic experience on a massive high in Svalbard sounded incredible."
Training for the half marathon was not simple though, due to the weather conditions in Norway.
And she faced the added problem of the polar night, when the sun does not rise between November and January.
Charlotte said: "I didn't take my running shoes with me – I didn't think about it – but everyone at work was running still with spikes in their shoes and lots of
layers on.
"I bought some running shoes out there and decided to get through the polar night by training for a half marathon."
She continued: "The idea of putting the head torch on and going out for an hour when it was blowing an absolute gale or in stinging hailstones was tough, but it was all about the challenge."
After completing her training, Charlotte travelled to the island of Spitsbergen, in Svalbard, to take part in her first half marathon.
Instead of crowds of spectators cheering on the runners, they were surrounded by guards armed with guns to protect them from polar bears.
But there was no snow on the ground and Charlotte did not need to run in her spikes.
She completed the race in two hours and five minutes.
Charlotte, a former pupil at Holy Cross Catholic High School, said: "I absolutely loved it. It got to about two degrees, which was very warm there, and there was sunshine for the first hour.
"I turned around and the weather changed to dark clouds and very strong, cold wind."
Charlotte now has the running bug and wants to enter another half marathon.
"I want to do one in under two hours, but I need to find another cool place to do it," she said.
And after a brief trip home to Brinscall, she will soon be heading off to India, where she will manage volunteers and set up new projects for a charity for the next six months.

Thank you to Will Work For Tea for sending me a bit of this to try. This is my first experience with a Lupicia tea and I was excited to get to try it out since I have only even read good things about the company.
This tea reminds me of fresh and delicious strawberry ice cream. (and I didn't even add cream to mine!) There is a lingering sweetness but also a light green tea crisp flavor that really pairs well in this tea.
I imagine this one is delicious over ice. Next time I make a glass of iced tea I think I will give this one a try again.

Date set for Twins' Target Field opener
Date set for Twins' Target Field opener
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins have a tentative date for the opening of Target Field in 2010, according to a report by the Associated Press. The Twins will open up their new ballpark on April 12 against the Boston Red Sox, the report said. The AP learned of the date after obtaining a draft of next season's schedule that was recently sent to teams. The schedule was provided to the AP by a baseball official on the condition of anonymity due to Major League Baseball's request that the schedule not be made public before it is finalized later this year. According to the report, the Twins are scheduled to open the 2010 season on April 5 on the road against the Los Angeles Angels.

For Immediate Release
May 07, 2013
Released By:
Mayor's Office
For More Information Contact:
Mayor's Press Office
Mayor Thomas M. Menino today testified before the Joint Committee on Education on his proposal to boost student achievement. The Mayor's proposal would extend "turn-around" powers to Level 3 schools, eliminate the cap on In-District charters, and extend the school day. The bill is H529 – An Act Promoting Public School Success – sponsored by former Representative Marty Walz.
"We should not have to wait for a school to fail before we give it the tools to succeed," Mayor Menino said. "I encourage this Committee to move quickly on this important legislation. I would tell you I have 8 months left to make this happen – but that's too long. Our kids need action today."
In his testimony, Mayor Menino acknowledged the handful of education reform bills before the Committee, and said he would support any bill that extends "turn-around" powers to more schools and allows for the creation of more In-District charter schools.
Under current state law, a school must be designated as a lowest-performing, or Level 4, school before being given expanded tools and flexibility to improve quality. Mayor Menino's proposal would afford this flexibility in the Level 3 schools that make up about 50 percent of the District's total. Boston's 11 Turnaround Schools, identified as underperforming in 2010, have shown dramatic improvement and higher-than-average growth. With longer school days, quality school teachers and leaders, as well as extra time for teacher training and support, 44 percent more families selected these schools as a top choice than just three years earlier.
By eliminating the cap on In-District charter schools, as well as the union's veto power on these schools' renewals, the Mayor's legislation would provide charters with the utmost flexibility in boosting student achievement and promoting innovative curriculum. The administrative process for the application, approval and management of In-District charter schools would also be streamlined.
Today, the City's In-District charter schools are able to offer longer days and high standards. Last year, students at UP Academy Charter School of Boston showed some of the fastest growth in the state. And, the City's Innovation School tools are allowing existing schools to transform into centers for excellence with flexibilities that help ensure rapid, positive change.
Mayor Menino also issued a challenge to charter school operators in attendance: "Come take over a BPS school and make it an In-District charter. You'll have the building, you'll be able to teach the kids who are already in the school, and they won't have to wait for something better. Just promise that you'll educate all of our kids, in the schools that need you now, and we are ready to move."

New Mexico is adding a feature on its driver's licenses to indicate that someone is a veteran.
State officials said Friday the designation will make it easier for veterans to provide proof they served in the military without needing to carry copies of their discharge papers. Veterans sometimes qualify for discounts at businesses.
There's no extra cost to have the designation on a license.
People with a currently valid license must pay an $18 replacement or renewal fee to get a new license, including one with the veteran's designation.
To obtain the veteran's license, individuals need to provide the state with a form showing they were discharged from the military or they can provide a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs medical identification, military retiree card or National Guard identification.

Reams of studies ask why people are drawn to steal from Walmart
About 100 thefts per year in SL
by Tom Cullen
The Storm Lake Police Department makes about 100 arrests annually for thefts at Walmart, making the retailer on North Lake Avenue one of the most heavily patrolled areas in city limits.
Police were dispatched to Walmart in reference to several shoplifters who were detained on Friday at 4:35 p.m. Staff told police that Dawn Trierweiler, 46, of Spencer, allegedly took almost $300 worth of merchandise and hid them in her purse and under her coat.
Mitchell Trierweiler, 24, and a 12-year-old girl, both of Spencer, reportedly acted as lookouts as the thefts were taking place.
Seneca store exceeds expectations
Franchise owner Steve Jackson announced the closing of the McDonald's restaurant in Walmart.
The last day of business at the Walmart location is Dec. 28.
All McDonald's employees will be offered positions at the new McDonald's restaurant in Storm Lake on Seneca Street. All Walmart McDonald's employees will be offered similar hours and same pay and benefits as they have at the Walmart location.

Josh and Jenna Van Es and their one and a half year old daughter, Brynlee, are enjoying their new home of Storm Lake. Josh is manager of the Walmart Super Center in Storm Lake. This is his first store as manager. The Van Es family moved here in November from Sioux City but Josh began his new position in September.
The Storm Lake Police Department is asking for help from the public.
In December two men walked out of the Storm Lake Walmart with carts full of merchandise valued at $1,000.
The two men left in an older two tone white with grey four-door vehicle with significant rust on the passenger side.
Woman charged with plugging 18 Walmart toilets
The Storm Lake Police Department filed more charges for Shannon Cannon, 34, of Waterloo, after a series of thefts at 18 different Walmart locations in Iowa and Minnesota.
Cannon used a technique of clogging toilets at the stores and then making a claim for damages from the overflowing can.
On Sept. 19 police were sent to Walmart because a shoplifter had been detained.
Store staff reported that a 15-year-old of Storm Lake had allegedly stolen merchandise.
Police arrested the juvenile and charged him with theft.
He was processed and released to an adult family member pending a court date. The case has been forwarded to the Juvenile Court Authority.
Storm Lake Police took a report of an incident that happened at Walmart on Aug. 17.
Police were told that Shannon Cannon, 34, of Waterloo reported to the store employees that she had come to the Storm Lake store and while she was in the restroom, the toilet backed up and damaged her clothing and the receipt she had for merchandise she was about to return to the store.

Building-integrated photovoltaics
Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) are photovoltaic materials that are used to replace conventional building materials in parts of the building envelope such as the roof, skylights, or facades.[1] They are increasingly being incorporated into the construction of new buildings as a principal or ancillary source of electrical power, although existing buildings may be retrofitted with similar technology. The advantage of integrated photovoltaics over more common non-integrated systems is that the initial cost can be offset by reducing the amount spent on building materials and labor that would normally be used to construct the part of the building that the BIPV modules replace. These advantages make BIPV one of the fastest growing segments of the photovoltaic industry.[citation needed]
The term building-applied photovoltaics (BAPV) is sometimes used to refer to photovoltaics that are a retrofit - integrated into the building after construction is complete. Most building-integrated installations are actually BAPV. Some manufacturers and builders differentiate new construction BIPV from BAPV.[2]
PV applications for buildings began appearing in the 1970s. Aluminum-framed photovoltaic modules were connected to, or mounted on, buildings that were usually in remote areas without access to an electric power grid. In the 1980s photovoltaic module add-ons to roofs began being demonstrated. These PV systems were usually installed on utility-grid-connected buildings in areas with centralized power stations. In the 1990s BIPV construction products specially designed to be integrated into a building envelope became commercially available.[3] A 1998 doctoral thesis by Patrina Eiffert, entitled An Economic Assessment of BIPV, hypothesized that one day there would an economic value for trading Renewable Energy Credits (RECs).[4] A 2011 economic assessment and brief overview of the history of BIPV by the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory suggests that there may be significant technical challenges to overcome before the installed cost of BIPV is competitive with photovoltaic panels.[5] However, there is a growing consensus that through their widespread commercialization, BIPV systems will become the backbone of the zero energy building (ZEB) European target for 2020.[6] Despite technical promise, social barriers to widespread use have also been identified, such as the conservative culture of the building industry and integration with high-density urban design. These authors suggest enabling long-term use likely depends on effective public policy decisions as much as the technological development.[7]
Building-Integrated Photovoltaic modules are available in several forms.
- Flat roofs
- The most widely installed to date is a thin film solar cell integrated to a flexible polymer roofing membrane.[clarification needed]
- Pitched roofs
- Modules shaped like multiple roof tiles.
- Solar shingles are modules designed to look and act like regular shingles, while incorporating a flexible thin film cell.
- It extends normal roof life by protecting insulation and membranes from ultraviolet rays and water degradation. It does this by eliminating condensation because the dew point is kept above the roofing membrane.[8]
- Facade
- Facades can be installed on existing buildings, giving old buildings a whole new look. These modules are mounted on the facade of the building, over the existing structure, which can increase the appeal of the building and its resale value.[9]
- Glazing
- (Semi)transparent modules can be used to replace a number of architectural elements commonly made with glass or similar materials, such as windows and skylights.
Transparent and translucent photovoltaics
Transparent solar panels use a tin oxide coating on the inner surface of the glass panes to conduct current out of the cell. The cell contains titanium oxide that is coated with a photoelectric dye.[10]
Most conventional solar cells use visible and infrared light to generate electricity. In contrast, the innovative new solar cell also uses ultraviolet radiation. Used to replace conventional window glass, or placed over the glass, the installation surface area could be large, leading to potential uses that take advantage of the combined functions of power generation, lighting and temperature control.[citation needed]
Another name for transparent photovoltaics is "translucent photovoltaics" (they transmit half the light that falls on them). Similar to inorganic photovoltaics, organic photovoltaics are also capable of being translucent.
Government subsidies
In some countries, additional incentives, or subsidies, are offered for building-integrated photovoltaics in addition to the existing feed-in tariffs for stand-alone solar systems. Since July 2006 France offered the highest incentive for BIPV, equal to an extra premium of EUR 0.25/kWh paid in addition to the 30 Euro cents for PV systems.[11][12][13] These incentives are offered in the form of a rate paid for electricity fed to the grid.
European Union
- France €0.25/kWh[12]
- Germany €0.05/kWh facade bonus expired in 2009
- Italy €0.04 - €0.09/kWh[citation needed]
- United Kingdom 6.38-13.39 p/kWh [1]
- Spain, compared with a non- building installation that receives €0.28/kWh (RD 1578/2008):
- ≤20 kW, €0.34/kWh
- >20 kW: €0.31/kWh
- USA - Varies by state. Check Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency for more details.[14]
Further to the announcement of a subsidy program for BIPV projects in March 2009 offering RMB20/watt for BIPV systems and RMB15/watt for rooftop systems, the Chinese government recently unveiled a photovoltaic energy subsidy program "the Golden Sun Demonstration Project". The subsidy program aims at supporting the development of photovoltaic electricity generation ventures and the commercialization of PV technology. The Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the National Energy Bureau have jointly announced the details of the program in July 2009.[15] Qualified on-grid photovoltaic electricity generation projects including rooftop, BIPV, and ground mounted systems are entitled to receive a subsidy equal to 50% of the total investment of each project, including associated transmission infrastructure. Qualified off-grid independent projects in remote areas will be eligible for subsidies of up to 70% of the total investment.[16] In mid November, China's finance ministry has selected 294 projects totaling 642 megawatts that come to roughly RMB 20 billion ($3 billion) in costs for its subsidy plan to dramatically boost the country's solar energy production.[17]

text: NEW YORK (AP) — Eli Lilly & Co. said Wednesday it turned a profit in the third quarter as a legal costs came off its books, and the drugmaker raised its forecasts for the year. The Indianapolis company said it earned $941.8 million, or 86 cents per share. Excluding restructuring and other costs, Lilly earned $1.20 per share. Thomson Reuters says analysts expected $1.02 per share. A year ago, Lilly lost $465.6 million, or 43 cents per share, after setting aside almost $1.5 billion to settle government investigations into the marketing of Zyprexa, its top selling drug. Most of the restructuring costs came from Lilly's sale of a manufacturing plant in Indiana. It sold a facility in Lafayette, Ind., to Evonik Industries for an undisclosed amount. Lilly took a charge of 23 cents per share on the sale, which is part of a plan to cut thousands of jobs and $1 billion in annual spending by the end of 2011. Revenue grew 7 percent to $5.56 billion from $5.21 billion. Wall Street expected $5.41 billion. Sales of anti-psychotic Zyprexa rose 3 percent to $1.22 billion. Sales of cancer drug Alimta jumped 47 percent to $461.9 million. Sales of antidepressant Cymbalta, insulin drug Humalog and erectile dysfunction drug Cialis rose. However, sales of cancer drug Gemzar skidded 25 percent. Sales of blood thinner Effient totaled $22.6 million. Lilly began selling Effient in August, marking its first launch of a new product since 2005. Patent protection on Zyprexa will end in 2011, and in 2013, Cymbalta, Humalog and Gemzar will all go off-patent. Eli Lilly cut its sales costs by about $100 million in the third quarter, but that was more than offset by greater spending on research and development and marketing. The company now expects an adjusted profit of $4.30 to $4.40 per share, excluding one-time items, up from $4.20 to $4.30 per share. Analysts expected $4.29 per share. It called for revenue growth in the mid-single digits from 2008's total of $20.34 billion.
