Sam Underwood is deliciously creepy.We learned last summer that Dexter creeper Sam Underwood would be creeping it up in the second season of The Following, and wow, does he ever. It's evident from the first episode of Season 2 that Underwood's role is layered, in a vulnerable, dark, lethally dangerous and darkly charismatic kind of way, which is certainly fitting for someone involved with Joe Carroll's following. As you'll see in "Resurrection," there's more to Underwood's role than initially meets the eye. And remember how Jacob was all uncertain and conflicted? Yeah, not this guy.
Underwood isn't the only newcomer to the series. Also joining the cast are Tiffany Boone, who plays Mandy, a character with associations with one of the returning characters. Jessica Stroup, meanwhile, plays Max Hardy, Ryan's niece, who also happens to have some law enforcement connections, which prove particularly useful. And then there's Connie Nielsen, who plays Lily, a woman unfortunate enough to be on the subway when the Carrollers come a'Carrolling. So expect some new faces in Season 2.

iFile Browser
This utility lets users access, edit and organize the stored files on iOS devices or files saved on a cloud service such as iCloud or Dropbox.
I've seen useful utilities on the App Store before, but the developers of iFile Browser nailed it when it comes simplicity and functionality. This app will be especially useful for professionals who use MS Office, PDFs and other file that offer easy access and editing. It's an on-the-go organizer and editor that helps you work smoothly whether offline or on the cloud. It deserves two-thumbs up.
Product [iFile Browser]
iFile Download Manager
This app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch downloads any file type from mobile Safari and allows you to save it locally or on the cloud. It works seamlessly with the iFile Browser that unifies all your docs for effective file management.
Personally, this helped me save more time in downloading multiple files from the Internet directly to my iOS device instead of downloading them first using the Mac and then transfer them via USB or cloud.
It's tagged at $3.99 on App Store. Is it worth it? I give it a two-thumbs up with a 5A rating.
Product [iFile Download Manager]
We'll be giving away six promo codes in total—three for each app—throughout the day on Tuesday, February 5th. Be sure to follow us on Twitter for your chance to get these Beleela apps for free.

Here's the answer to that age-old question:
When a tree falls in a forest, and there's nobody around to hear it, it still makes a sound.
Georgia's seven-member Republican delegation to the U.S. House made such an unheard sound this week when they were nearly alone in voting against the economic stimulus package, which passed 385-35.
They stood in front of a runaway train and got flattened.
But we appreciate their statement.
Fact is, even without the stimulus bill, the federal government will be operating about $250 billion in the red this year. With the $150 billion stimulus bill, the deficit will climb to nearly $400 billion -- the second-highest deficit in U.S. history, surpassed only the $413 billion deficit in 2004.
Putting $600 in most taxpayers' wallets will help some -- but it will mostly be a psychological boost. While it might help prevent or shorten a recession, it will also put our children and grandchildren deeper in debt.
Nobody captured it quite like GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who joked that we'll be borrowing money from China so American consumers can buy Chinese-made goods.
In truth, we're not borrowing from China or Saudi Arabia or other foreign investors; we're borrowing from our children.
We sure appreciate seven lonely Georgia congressman for standing in opposition to that, and standing on the principle that we've got to stop borrowing from our children.
We don't oppose Congress passing a stimulus bill. They should cut spending to offset the cost, however.
Now the Senate is poised to sweeten the deal even further by adding billions for seniors and for the unemployed. Remember when it was the House that was impulsive and irresponsible, and the Senate had to act as big brother? What the heck happened to that most-deliberative body?
Senators will be foolish to try to add cars to this runaway train of a bill. And they're irresponsible to suggest we aren't dipping far enough into our children's pockets.

New Helicopter Could Help Save Lives Across Nebraska
The new Kearney Regional Medical Center now has ambulances at their facility in order to better help patients.
They are operated by Midwest Medical Transport, which recently invested in a second helicopter for the use of several Nebraska hospitals.
"It enables us to provide a network of services to help local community, local hospitals as well as the EMS and fire fighters who need our service," said Midwest Medical's Andy Arthurs.
The Midwest Medical transport has a helicopter in North Platte and a new helicopter in Hastings, the time difference for Kearney between Hastings and North Platte is 18 minutes, which could be the difference in saving a life.
"Getting the patients into a higher level of care where they be taken care in a trauma situation or into a cath lab for heat procedures, that could make a difference in saving a life," explained flight nurse Kimberly Wessles.
Kearney residents who dial 911 will still receive emergency treatment from Good Samaritan Hospital.

Athens-Clarke officials are fast-tracking a $24 million Classic Center expansion that voters approved as part of a sales tax package just last week.
Officials told Athens-Clarke commissioners Tuesday that they are planning to put the project out for bid next month and hope to begin construction in July or August.
The haste is necessary because the expansion must be finished in less than three years to avoid losing any conventions that are on the verge of outgrowing the facility, Athens-Clarke Manager Alan Reddish and Classic Center Executive Director Paul Cramer said.
Starting construction over the summer, when business is slowest, is ideal to avoid interfering with already-scheduled events, they said.
"It really is critical to hit (the goal of starting work) this summer and get going if we are going to be finished by 2013," Cramer said.
To speed up the project, officials plan to hire an architectural and engineering firm and a construction contractor at the same time who will work together. That process also will hold down costs, because the contractors will set a maximum price and pay for any expenses over it, rather than the usual practice of billing the government for overruns, Reddish said.
The expansion will include a 30,000-square-foot addition to the Classic Center's exhibition hall that will block off East Hancock Avenue at Thomas Street, enclosing an atrium outside the exhibition hall and 168 surface parking spaces. Once it is completed, the hall's capacity will rise from 3,000 people to 4,500 people or 400 booths, which will keep large conventions and trade shows from going elsewhere and entice some that already have left to come back, Cramer said.
"There are trade shows that for years have wanted to come to Athens-Clarke County ... but our space wouldn't allow it," he said.
The expansion will pump $6.6 million into the Athens economy annually and create 200 jobs, Cramer said.
The commission has signed off on the project's broad outlines several times, but criticized some aspects of it at the Tuesday work session. In particular, Mayor Heidi Davison and commissioners Mike Hamby and Ed Robinson said they are concerned it would block off the eastern edge of downtown, halting future growth there by restricting access.
"I would challenge you to make that space a public space and a more inviting space," Davison told county officials.
The concept still is preliminary. A public input session will be held in January, and the commission is scheduled to vote on abandoning the block of Hancock Avenue in April and on a final design in June, SPLOST Program Manager Don Martin said.
The expansion was part of a nine-year, $195 million 1 percent sales tax extension that voters approved 61 percent to 39 percent Nov. 2.

"The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer." It's a common catchphrase many Americans use to describe our economy. Politicians often repeat the phrase. Not too long ago, former Sen. John Edwards gained notoriety for claiming there are, "Two Americas -- one for the rich and one for the poor."
If we are to believe Edwards, "one in eight Americans do not have enough money for the food, shelter and clothing that they need." Supposedly, these people are "forced to live in terrible conditions."
To the casual observer, it must be appalling to think that in the world's richest country there are still citizens living in this type of destitute. But the Census Bureau this week actually reported that poverty is declining.
And a closer look at the numbers reveals that even those Americans described as poor aren't as impoverished as the media and many politicians would have us believe. According to my colleague Robert Rector, a Senior Research Fellow in Domestic Policy, the typical American defined as "poor" by the government has a car, air conditioning, a refrigerator, a stove, a clothes washer and dryer and a microwave. He also has two color televisions, cable or satellite TV reception, a VCR or DVD player, and a stereo. And in case you are wondering, Rector draws this information from various (and all available to the public) government and public expenditure reports.
Of particular interest to Hispanics is Rector's analysis on how America's poor compare to Latin America's poor. According to the United Nations Center for Human Settlements and World Bank, the typical housing space per capita in the U.S. is 721 square feet, compared to the 162 square feet for the typical Mexican or Chilean family.
Another characteristic of the impoverished is stunted growth found in malnourished children. Here too, evidence suggests that the percentage of children in America who are stunted is relatively low compared to other continents. In Africa, for instance, the percentage is a terrible 36 percent, and in Latin America it's 22 percent. Here in the United States, it's 2.6 percent.
Now, none of this information is to imply that poverty in our country is not a real problem -- as New Yorkers, we are accustomed to seeing poverty with our own eyes every day. But to correctly prescribe a remedy for poverty, a clearer and more accurate snapshot of today's poor is absolutely necessary.
What the evidence suggests is that one sure-fire way to reduce poverty is to encourage marriage. Unfortunately too many of today's children are being born out of wedlock, leaving young women caring for their kids without a father figure and the income he would bring.
Under President Bill Clinton, the federal government moved in the right direction by encouraging marriage. Lawmakers passed the 1996 Welfare Reform Act even though many liberals called the reforms "heartless." Instead, this reform has helped many Americans escape their dependence on government services.
In today's heated political climate it's easy to get lost in the rhetoric, but as always, it's worth pausing to carefully look at all the facts before pressing forward. And while it's clear that poverty is real, our elected officials would better serve us by asking tough questions about how we can really reduce poverty in America.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon name Marwod comes from the family having resided in either of the settlements called Marwood in the counties of Devon and Durham. The surname Marwod belongs to the large category of Anglo-Saxon habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads. However, some experts theorize that the surname Marwod may be a nickname derived from the Old French word Malregard, which means evil look or evil eye.
Marwod Early Origins
Devon at Widworthy, a parish, in the union of Honiton, hundred of Colyton. "The church [of Widworthy], an ancient structure, contains the effigy of a knight in armour, and a fine monument by Bacon to the memory of James Marwood, Esq., a liberal benefactor to the parish. Benedictus Marwood, Esq., in 1742 gave £100, and the Rev. Joseph Somaster in 1770 left £50, to be applied to education." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print.
Marwod Spelling Variations
Marwod Spelling Variations
Marwod has been spelled many different ways. Before English spelling became standardized over the last few hundred years, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. As the English language changed in the Middle Ages, absorbing pieces of Latin and French, as well as other languages, the spelling of people's names also changed considerably, even over a single lifetime. Spelling variants included: Marwood, Marward, Morwood and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Marwods to arrive on North American shores: Joe Marwood settled in Virginia in 1635; John Marwood settled in Barbados in 1685; Jonas Marwood settled in Maryland in 1727; Alexander Morwood arrived in Philadelphia in 1850..

Fine Paintings Prevail at Thomaston Place Auction Galleries' May 21 & 22 Sale
THOMASTON, ME: Seven outstanding paintings created excitement and strong sales prices at Thomaston Place Auction Galleries' Spring Fine Art, Antiques & Jewelry Auction on May 21st & 22nd. There were also important auction highlights among collections of Chinese antiques, estate jewelry and Russian masterworks presented to the worldwide bidding audience.
Thomaston Place owner and auctioneer Kaja Veilleux noted: "Active international participation in our auctions has made us a vital player in the global marketplace. Bids from around the world contributed to these great results."
A monumental landscape painting with impeccable provenance by George Barrat, R.A. (Irish/UK, 1728-1784) led the artwork category by selling for $63,250. Another important work, "The Action Between the 'Macedonian' and the 'United States' in Mid-Atlantic, 12th Oct, 1812", by Derek George Montague Gardner, R.S.M.A., (British, 1914-2007), fetched $60,375.
Bid cards were ready for action when a series of four well executed 19th Century Mexican oil on canvas landscape paintings came to the block. All of the works were unsigned, but they came with interesting provenance (from the estate of Caleb Cushing of Newburyport, MA, a Congressional representative from Massachusetts, Envoy to China, Brigadier General in the Mexican War, and later, Attorney General of the US under Pierce). The combined result for the four paintings was $71,300.
An unframed primitive oil on canvas portrait of a dog in a seashore landscape attracted enthusiastic bidding that ended at $16,100, well above its presale estimate.
Far eastern treasures also performed extremely well in the sale. A Chinese Qing Dynasty temple vase quickly blew past its $2,000 to $3,000 presale estimate and sold for $43,125. An antique jade carved pendant mounted with 14K gold fittings created much bidder enthusiasm and ultimately brought $25,300. A 19th Century carved jade figurine of a sleeping dog with a bird on its back brought $17,250 from an internet bidder. Other Chinese items that greatly exceeded presale estimates included: a pair of porcelain baluster vases with Jiaqing mark that fetched $9,775; a fine porcelain deep bowl with moriage oxblood background and four circular white medallions decorated with flowers and fruit that sold for $8,050; a bronze open censer with elephant head handles and accentuated with a flecks of gold that achieved $7,475; and a strand of 108 19th c Chinese Rhino Horn Prayer Beads that brought $7,475.
Telephone, floor and internet bidders aggressively pursued a circa 1910 gold Faberge egg shaped miniature portrait frame, with white guilloche face, seed pearl liner, deep blue enamel outer band, and gold riband top with ruby cabochon. Active bidding helped this piece achieve a final selling price of $57,300.
There were several finely crafted pieces that drew surprisingly strong prices, such as: a black walnut wood sculpture depicting the American Bald Eagle by Charles 'Chippy' Greenough Chase (Maine, 1908-1988), dated March 1974, that brought $13,800; an ornate Baroque style cast iron gate marked 'Joseph Treat' and featuring the torch of life that sold for $6,325; a Louis Vuitton trunk, that sold for $6,612.50; and an asymmetrical glossy faux agate painted storage cabinet, circa 1930s and originally from California, that raised $6,210. A beautiful 19th Century Syrian mosaic marquetry table sold to an internet bidder for $7,705.
Sterling silver also fared extremely well in this sale. A set of 12 Georgian English silver plates hallmarked London, 1799, by maker Robert Salmon brought $10,925; a 6-piece English Tea Service hallmarked London, 1787, by John Wakelin & William Taylor reached $6,900; and a set of 4 English Corinthian column form sterling candle sticks hallmarked London, 1772, by Thomas Whipham sold for $6,325.
Many pieces of estate jewelry brought interest and correspondingly strong sales prices. An important circa 1910-20 handmade platinum bracelet set with 262 diamonds achieved $86,250. An antique handmade 14K yellow gold and silver necklace with natural rubies and old mine cut diamonds sold for $23,000. Two pieces of Baroque period jewelry, a silver gilt bracelet set with rubies and garnets and a silver gilt necklace set with garnets and seed pearls, also sold well, bringing $11,500 each. The auction included many fine timepieces, led by a circa 1961 18K gold men's Patek Philippe 37 jewel wristwatch that sold for $7,475.
A complete list of auction results can be found at www.thomastonauction.com. The next Thomaston Place Auction Galleries sale will take place on August 27 & 28, 2011.

The new Aveda Be Curly Co-wash is the first co-wash in the range, which gently cleanses your scalp like a shampoo, with the nourishing properties of a conditioner.
Created specifically for curly to coily hair types, this co-wash reduces frizz and improves hydration, leaving curls moistured and defined curls for up to 3 days. With the rich properties of organic babassu oil, shea butter and cassava extract, even the most coarse and tangled of hair will benefit from this sulfate-free, low-lather conditioning wash.
How to use the Aveda Be Curly Co-wash:
- Massage the co-wash into your scalp covering your curls completely
- Rinse and repeat again, if needed.
- Follow with Aveda Be Curly Intensive Detangling Masque or Conditioner
What is a Co-wash?
Short for "conditioner-only washing", co-washes have become a big trend this summer, due to the smoothing effect they have on your hair. As we've suggested, co-washes skip the shampooing phase, relying solely on conditioner, which leaves hair feeling cleaner than 'second-day hair' but not quite 'squeeky!'
Wash in moisture, wash out frizz. So whether you wash your hair daily or weekly, conditioner-only washes leave hair easier to manage, frizz-free and smoother. This is particularly benefitial if you have curly, coarse, frizzy or afro-carribean hair types which can become tangled and unweilding after washing.

PATIENTS needing surgery may have to prove their fitness by going for a six-minute walk before their operation under a proposal being investigated to prevent dangerous complications.
Melbourne research is determining if a walking test along a clinic or hospital corridor can be enough to reveal fitness issues that create life-threatening problems during and after surgery.
A trial of 500 patients, backed by the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists, will determine if the test is accurate enough to identify those at increased risk who may need their surgery altered or postponed.
Professor Paul Myles said the simple test would highlight patients with poor cardiovascular fitness who faced increased risks such as delayed recovery, long-term disability and death following anaesthesia and a major operation.
"We are doing this project to work out whether the test is reliable enough, whether it is reasonable for us to delay surgery or, in some cases, cancel surgery," Prof Myles said.
"The six-minute walk test is a very simple, cheap and widely available exercise test that can be done by almost anyone anywhere.
"That length they can walk seems to be quite strongly associated with the risk of them undergoing surgery.
"Anything over 400m is quite good ... then there is weak, poor and very poor, and once you get under 100m, the risks seem to go up."
The test will see each patient walk for exactly six minutes straight up and down a 30m corridor or flat track with their distance measured before survey.
During the three-year study, anaesthetists will be unaware how strongly their patients performed during the walking test, but will track each patient for a year after their operation to build a picture of how their physical condition affected their surgery and recovery.
If successful, Prof Myles said medical histories and pre-operative checks could be used to screen for patients likely to have concerning levels of fitness who would benefit by undergoing the six-minute walking test as a precaution.
With an accurate indication of a patient's fitness, specialists hope to be able to take measures to stabilise their condition before surgery, arrange for post-surgery recovery in intensive care, provide a longer recovery in hospital, or even delay or cancel surgery in extreme cases.

I pray to be humble – I really do, but any ounce of humbleness in my being flew right out the window as I patted myself on the back after this morning's breakfast. I made pancakes in honor of Pancake Sunday, and they were amazing. Wanna see?
The recipe was inspired by Lauren's Spicy Ginger Teff Cookies which I made yesterday and could not stop eating!
For my cookies, I skipped the agave, honey, and stevia and only used 3 TBSP maple syrup. The batter was a bit dry since I used a less liquid sweetener, and so I threw in a couple heaping spoonfuls of canned pumpkin. Instead of the almond butter, I used Nutmeric, and I also didn't have any teff flour. However, I did have some teff cereal. So, I ground up a cup in the Vita-Mix to make flour. FYI, to all Vita-Mix owners, you do not need the dry blade to grind up grains. I have one and never use it. The wet blade does it all. Also, you don't have to use teff flour to make these cookies. I'm sure any flour would work, and I think they'd be especially good with oat flour – just grind up some rolled oats in your blender or food processor stirring with a fork in-between blending if they get stuck.
So, I ate a couple cookies after lunch…and 1 more after after an early dinner with CD. We then went to the Vanderbilt vs South Carolina football game…
I'm a Vandy girl at heart, but we in we rooted for the Gamecocks since my brother-in-law works for USC. They won. 🙂 Afterwards, I came home and may have eaten a couple more cookies. I then went to bed and woke up thinking about those cookies and decided to make pancakes based on the same recipe. Thanks for the inspiration Lauren!
1 egg + 2 egg white
1/4 cup flour (I used teff)
1 heaping spoonful canned pumpkin or any other winter squash, sweet potato, etc.
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/8 tsp ground mustard
1/8 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp freshly grated ginger
1/2 tsp nama shoyu (raw soy sauce)
1 packet stevia
Beat egg whites until fluffy and then beat in whole egg, pumpkin, fresh ginger, and soy sauce. Combine dry ingredients and then fold in egg/pumpkin mixture. Cook on a griddle over low heat. Yields: 5 small pancakes.
Toppings: Abby's Table Dream Date Sauce and Nutmeric both thinned with a little water. Delicious!
Don't forget to enter my Nutmeric giveaway if you haven't done so already. Love that stuff.

Mississippi climate
Mississippi has short mild winters and long humid summers. Summer temperatures are mostly the same throughout the state, and many places exceed 37 degrees (Celsius). The Gulf Coast is warmer in winter with average January temperatures about 10 degrees while the northeast is in the low single digits. A small amount of snow or sleet is typical, but cold spells are so short the ground rarely freezes. Normal precipitation ranges from about 127-165cm (50 to 65 inches).The hurricane season is late summer and early autumn, and tornadoes hit land in the spring.
When to fly to Mississippi
Peak Season:
Peak tourism along the Gulf Coast is June to September. The golf courses claim to be better than before Katrina, and casinos and hotels continue to reopen. Book ahead for accommodations; until all hotels reopen, there are fewer rooms available.
Spring and fall are also popular times to book Mississippi flights. The weather is mild, the wildflowers put on a show in the spring, and the fall foliage envies that of New England.
The Natchez Bluff Blues Fest is the third weekend in April, and the Greenville Mississippi Delta Blues Festival is the third weekend in September.
Off Season:
Costs of accommodations along the Gulf Coast drop considerably in the off season.
Search and compare: cheap flights to Mississippi
Getting around Mississippi
Bus service along the coast is frequent, but less frequent inland. Trains run through the state, stopping at Jackson and Greenwood. Steamboating down the Mississippi River with ports of call at several cities is a relaxing but expensive tour of the western part of the state. Off the river, the best way to see Mississippi is by car.
The Delta is best seen from its back roads. You need to be careful as this is a gun-toting area, encounters with the local police are to be avoided, and camping is not recommended. That said, the birthplace of the blues has great music, scenery, and festivals, so book ahead.
The unspoiled Natchez Trace Parkway has no commercial vehicles, no advertising, and no commercial buildings. A two-lane meander from Jackson to Tupelo with plenty of places to stop. This parkway is also popular with bicycle tours.
Once you are in Natchez and Vicksburg, bus and horse-drawn carriage tours take you to the sights and battlefields. Downtown Natchez can also be explored on foot.
Along the Gulf Coast, beachcomber trolleys run from the beach to the business centre of Gulfport.
Mississippi insider information
- If you're in Natchez and fancy some real Southern cooking, head for the King's Tavern. It is in the oldest building in the town, and is even supposed to have its own ghost. History and haunting aside, the restaurant is one of the most popular around for traditional Southern food.
- No trip to the Mississippi would be complete without an excursion on the huge river the state is named after. You can explore the "mighty water" from canoe, kayak or boat. One of the more relaxing excursions is to take a trip in a paddle boat. River tours are available from many of the towns that sit on the river.
- The main Elvis site is of course, Graceland, but the King was born in a small house in Tulepo. You can visit the house, for a small fee, though many tourists report feeling underwhelmed at the experience. Best saved for serious fans of the King.
- The only cactus plantation in the world is found in Mississippi. With a staggering amount of different types of cactii to be seen (more than 3,500 species of plants are found on the plantation), if you want to learn everything there is to know about the prickly succulents head to 1088 Champion Hill Rd in Edwards.
- A Hurricane Katrina Memorial is situated in the town of Biloxi. Opened in February 2006, the memorial stands 12ft tall: the height of the water during the storm in the middle of town.

Policies and Plans for Human Resources for Health: Guidelines for Countries in the WHO African Region
Guidelines by the WHO Regional Office for Africa
Intended users:
HRH managers in ministries of health and other ministries such as Education, Planning, and Finance, health facilities, and civil or public service agencies dealing with HRH issues.
The aim of these guidelines is to support WHO Member countries in HRH development, assessment of HRH, the situation, policy, and plan formulation with a view to achieving a level of comprehensiveness and consistency at country level.
The guidelines discuss the HRH process, situation analysis, and suggest policy and plan development in the context of overall national health policies and strategies. The guidelines explain how to formulate, develop and review the HRH situation, policies and plans with the flexibility necessary for each country.
The 3 main outputs -- the situation, the policy, and the plan are discussed in 3 separate sections for clarity. The 5 annexes providing what are essentially templates for the key outputs are very helpful.
The toolkit appears at first rather text-heavy but it is filled with bullet point lists, questionnaires, boxes to check off, and practical guidance in problem-solving.

N.H. ranks 9th in tech employment study: nearly 71 of 1,000 workers are employed in state's tech sector.
New Hampshire is among the states with the largest percentage of employees working in high-technology fields, according to a new study.
According to trade group TechAmerica's "Cyberstates 2009" report, the Granite State ranks ninth among the 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico by employment concentration of high-tech workers--nearly 71 workers for every 1,000 workers in the private sector.
The base number of those employed in New Hampshire's tech industry in 2007--the most current data available--was 38,500, 34th in the country. The 2007 total was 200 higher from the previous year.
According to the study, New Hampshire's high-tech workers earn significantly more than the average salary for private sector employees-$81,300 a year, or 84 percent higher than the average wage ]his figure places the state 13th in the nation. It ranked 12th in the previous study.
Other "Cyberstates" rankings for New Hampshire include:
* 29th in high-tech payroll, at $3.7 billion
* 33rd in high-tech establishments, at 2,800
* Fourth in photonics manufacturing with 1,700 jobs
* Ninth in measuring and control instruments manufacturing, with 8,200 jobs
* 13th in electronic components manufacturing, with 5,400 jobs
"Without a doubt, the technology industry powers high-wage employment in New Hampshire," said Anne Doherty Johnson, executive director for TechAmerica New England. "The 2008 national data show that America's tech sector weathered the storm remarkably well in 2008, and will likely be in a good position to lead economic recovery in New Hampshire and throughout the country. If New Hampshire can tap into the federal stimulus package to make key technology infrastructure investments, we may be able to expedite the recovery process in New England."
Regionally, Massachusetts was the New England high-tech leader in most of the categories. In addition to being the No. 2 state for high-tech worker concentration, it also was second in the nation for average high-tech salary, at $100,500, or 80 percent above that state's average private sector salary. Massachusetts also had 246,500 high-tech workers - sixth highest in the country.

The nation's capital, it's packed with things to see and do year-round. Washington boasts monuments that are a must-see; cool neighborhoods with lots of shops, restaurants and cafes; and like New York, people from all over the world. It is also the nerve center of politics. Your embassy is highly likely somewhere in Washington. As a teenager, I spent summers in Washington, staying with an uncle and other relatives who live there. And as an adult, there always seemed a reason to return to Washington, either for work or for pleasure, sometimes both.

As the second largest city ion Egypt you would expect it to be inundated with tourists. However, it is much more popular with the Egyptians and the hotels and attractions are aimed at them. It boasts wide stretches of stunning beach and remarkable scenery. Although it is just over 200 km from Cairo it has a distinct feel to it that differs from the rest of Egypt. It is much more Mediterranean in flavour. It is certainly worth visiting for its unusual atmosphere. Fans of literature will associate this pretty town with the works of E.M. Forster and Greek poet Cavafy.

Osteens to Hold First Non-Baseball Event at New Yankee Stadium
The New York Yankees christened their new stadium Friday with an exhibition game against the Chicago Cubs.
But it won't be until Apr. 25 that the new Yankee stadium gets Christianized – by a pastor who has converted the former home of the Houston Rockets into a 16,000-seat megachurch.
That evening, which falls on a Saturday, Pastors Joel and Victoria Osteen will hold "A Night of Hope" at Yankee Stadium, marking the first non-baseball event in the new stadium in the Bronx, N.Y.
The event is expected to draw tens of thousands from around the tri-state area and feature a message from the Osteens as well as music from award-winning artists Israel Houghton and Cindy Cruse-Ratcliff.
"We are grateful to the New York Yankees organization for the honor of holding the first non-baseball event in the Stadium," says Joel Osteen, "and for this opportunity to reach so many of our friends in New York City and the tri-state area with a timely message of hope and encouragement."
Aside from those attending, the event will reach people across the United States and around the world through the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), which will broadcast the event live.
According to Nielsen Media Research, Joel Osteen is the most watched minister in the United States and reaches 95 percent of all U.S. television households.
Though Lakewood senior pastor Joel Osteen has been praised by many for his uplifting messages and popular bestsellers, the charismatic minister has also received much criticism for his lack of formal theological training and for preaching what critics call the "prosperity gospel," a belief that prosperity and success – particularly financial – is a sign of God's favor.
Osteen, however, insists that his theology is not "dangerous," as some say it is, and that God has used him to turn people's lives around and to give them hope.
Next month, Osteen's church will be celebrating 50 years since it was founded by Osteen's father, John Osteen, a former Southern Baptist pastor who later became charismatic. Osteen succeeded his father in 1999, more than eight months after the elder Osteen died of a heart attack. Before he took the helm, the younger Osteen had only preached once in his life – the week before his father's death.

Stage and screen star Alec Baldwin and his yoga instructor wife, Hilaria, welcomed daughter Carmen Gabriela on August 23. Dubbing the baby "absolutely perfect" in a Twitter post shortly after giving birth, the 29-year-old new mom and her 55-year-old husband returned to their Manhattan home with their newborn daughter on August 25.
"Since giving birth, the word 'love' has taken on a whole new meaning," Hilaria tweeted on August 26. "Its depth and intensity are overwhelming in the most welcome way." The new dad is also the father of fledgling model Ireland, his 17-year-old daughter with ex-wife Kim Basinger.
Baldwin most recently starred in the Broadway revival of Orphans and has appeared on Broadway in Twentieth Century, A Streetcar Named Desire, Serious Money and Loot. His off-Broadway credits include Entertaining Mr. Sloane, Trumbo, Macbeth and Prelude to a Kiss. An Emmy winner for playing Jack Donaghy on 30 Rock, Baldwin can currently be seen on the big screen as Cate Blanchett's ex-husband in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine.

Problem seating/crimping 9mm on a Hornady LnL

Problem seating/crimping 9mm on a Hornady LnL
My brother has had a Hornady Lock N Load progressive reloader all set up for a little while. About a year or two ago he started working on reloading 9mm, but ran into a problem with the seating die (it's one of the 'new dimension' dies). The bullet would seat ok, but there was really no crimp to speak of, and he could push the bullet into the case with his thumb.
He bought the little microjust seating stem to give him additional control, and an attempt to get a better idea what was going on, but that didn't really help much either.
Fast forward to last night. We're both looking at .45's and the thought of having a reloader available to make the shooting a little more cost effective is attractive. We tried seating some bullets into empty cases to try to get it right, but just got more confused.
It looks like the crimping part of the die stops independently from the seating depth part (the 'cone' in the center). So we're working under the assumption that you have to get two parts right. First, the coarse threaded outer portion of the die has to be set to the right 'elevation' to correctly crimp the case. Once you have that correct, you then tweak the seating 'microjust' knob to get the seating depth you're after.
We moved things up and down a bit, and got to the point where we were getting great crimps, but it seems that the seating die was too low, because the sidewalls of the case got crumpled and the bullet is slightly deformed at the top with a 'ring' about 3/16" down from the tip.
So, how in the world do you adjust this die correctly? We couldn't find anything in the manual that indicated how to adjust it, only how to install it.
I'm trying to get a pic of the loads we did last night, they're comical looking.

EUGENE, Ore. - In the mass of tailgaters gathered outside Autzen Stadium before a recent Oregon game, two young men sported T-shirts with the bold words: "Stop Chip."
A nod to coach Chip Kelly, the slogan was a clever play on shirts that were donned all over Eugene some four decades ago that proclaimed "Stop Pre" in honor of the seemingly unstoppable Steve Prefontaine.
The spirit of Pre still resonates in Eugene and has become inspiration for the No. 1 Ducks. It is a connection that crosses both time and athletic disciplines.
Prefontaine was a brash runner who trained in the early 1970s under Oregon's renowned coach Bill Bowerman, the co-founder of Nike.
At one point, Prefontaine held seven American records in distances ranging from 2,000 meters to the 10K. He was known for running every race full-bore, rejecting any suggestion that he pace himself.
But along with his undeniable talent, Pre attracted attention with James Dean good looks and a devil-may-care attitude. And, much like Dean, Pre died in a car accident at the height of his career. He was 24.
"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift," Prefontaine once said, exemplary of his hard-charging style.
Pre's message struck a nerve with coach Kelly, who last season took the Ducks to Pre's Rock, as it is known, a memorial near the accident site.
"Steve Prefontaine did not care who he was running against. He was going to run as hard as he could for as long as he could," Kelly said. "That's what I hope our attitude is in this football program."
Oregon is certainly embracing Pre's philosophy as they plow full-bore through the season. The Ducks are 9-0 overall and 6-0 in the Pac-10, sitting atop both the BCS and the AP rankings.
Oregon leads the nation in total offense, averaging just over 567 yards each game. They are also scoring a national-best 54.67 points per game.
One of the players who has taken Pre's example to heart is running back LaMichael James, who related to the notion of pushing boundaries.
"He never gave up," James said about Prefontaine. "He always gave 110 percent."
This season, James is averaging 166.4 yards over eight games, the best average in the country. He's scoring an average of 13.5 points a game, also a national best.
As a result, he's also grabbing considerable attention from Heisman Trophy pundits, who are putting him at the top of the potential candidates list with Auburn's Cam Newton and Boise State's Kellen Moore.
James recently said that his only individual goal is becoming an Academic All-American. Otherwise, he just wants to help his team with a national title.
"The most important thing to me is my teammates and going out and playing hard, each and every down, for them, not just for some trophy. I'll worry about that stuff after the season," he said.
The Ducks visit California (5-4, 3-3 Pac-10) today in Berkeley, where they haven't won in Strawberry Canyon since 2001. After that, Oregon hosts Arizona before concluding the regular season at rival Oregon State.
Kelly has invoked Prefontaine's spirit in numerous speeches to the team, including the season-opener against New Mexico. The team's visit to Pre's rock came before last year's 37-33 victory over the Beavers in the Civil War, which clinched the Ducks the Pac-10 championship and a berth in the Rose Bowl.
"The big thing for him was that he didn't care who he raced against. It was about how he performed," Kelly said. "That's what we talk to our team about all the time."
Prefontaine himself once said:
"A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more."

Evacuations remain in effect for more than 500 foothill homes in Southern California even though the storm that spawned them is petering out.
Authorities say the threat of a mudslide remains in La Canada Flintridge, La Crescenta, Acton and two canyons in the Angeles National Forest.
No major mud flows were reported from Tuesday's storm, which dumped at least an inch of rain in the area.
The communities are below slopes burned bare in wildfires. A mudslide last weekend damaged 43 homes in La Canada Flintridge.
The National Weather Service says the area will be mostly sunny for about the next seven days.
However, a couple of inches of snow could fall at higher mountain elevations and in the Antelope Valley, where winter storm warnings remain in effect until 10 a.m. Wednesday.

Netflix today announced the release of a new Netflix app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The new app would allow for streaming content over a wi-fi or 3G connection straight onto your very tiny screen.
The concept has been around for a while, going back to the wrist-watch TVs of the '80s, but the experience of watching anything on a screen that small is never fully satisfying. At best, it can help make those long plane, train, and automobile rides more enjoyable. Sorta anyway.
If not used for streaming, the new Netflix app can also be used as a tidy queue management system complete with a search function (which, for some reason, Wii's Netflix channel is sadly missing). Up until now, the queue-management app void was being filled by the likes of Phone Flicks, which I suppose will go hang out with the Dodo now.
The move into small screens does makes some branding sense for Netflix, which has faced increasing competition of late including a newly-announced streaming service from HBO, Verizon's live TV app for the iPad, and who knows what exactly Apple will be throwing into the mix with their upcoming press conference.
The battle for your eyeballs is coming to your phone. (Imagine reading that sentence somewhere even ten years ago.)

Meredith Kercher killer secretly 'let out of jail to study for history degree'
BRITISH student Meredith Kercher's killer is being secretly let out of prison to study for a history degree, it was reported last night.
Knifeman Rudy Guede allegedly has permission to leave his cell on the sex offenders' wing of a top security Italian jail so he can pursue his studies.
The news is said to have rocked those close to the 21-year-old, from Coulsdon, Surrey, who was found knifed to death in student digs in Perugia in 2007.
But last night Guede's lawyer Walter Biscotti shrugged off the furore as he confirmed the killer was entitled to partial freedom.
"If the English and Meredith's family are upset, I don't know what to say, that is the law," he said. "Rudy can go out of prison for several hours at a time.
"He spends his days studying history.
"He spends some hours with a teacher, we don't want to say where he is because he'll get swamped by people from all over the world."
Guede, 27, was convicted of Meredith's murder in 2008 and received a 30-year prison sentence, which was later reduced to 16 years on appeal. His DNA was found on Meredith's body.
American Amanda Knox, 26, and ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, 29, were re-convicted of the murder last month and sentenced to 28 years and six months, and 25 years respectively.
Knox is in the US and has no intention of returning to Italy. Sollecito is currently free in Italy but has had his passport confiscated.

Crystal structure of the DNA repair enzyme endonuclease-VIII (Nei) from E. coli: The E2A mutant at 2.3 resolution.
Structural highlights
[END8_ECOLI] Involved in base excision repair of DNA damaged by oxidation or by mutagenic agents. Acts as DNA glycosylase that recognizes and removes damaged bases. Has a preference for oxidized pyrimidines, such as thymine glycol, 5,6-dihydrouracil and 5,6-dihydrothymine. Acts on DNA bubble and 3'-fork structures, suggesting a role in replication-associated DNA repair. Has AP (apurinic/apyrimidinic) lyase activity and introduces nicks in the DNA strand. Cleaves the DNA backbone by beta-delta elimination to generate a single-strand break at the site of the removed base with both 3'- and 5'-phosphates.[1]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Escherichia coli endonuclease VIII (Nei) excises oxidized pyrimidines from DNA. It shares significant sequence homology and similar mechanism with Fpg, a bacterial 8-oxoguanine glycosylase. The structure of a covalent Nei-DNA complex has been recently determined, revealing critical amino acid residues which are important for DNA binding and catalysis. Several Fpg structures have also been reported; however, analysis of structural dynamics of Fpg/Nei family proteins has been hindered by the lack of structures of uncomplexed and DNA-bound enzymes from the same source. We report a 2.8 A resolution structure of free wild-type Nei and two structures of its inactive mutants, Nei-E2A (2.3 A) and Nei-R252A (2.05 A). All three structures are virtually identical, demonstrating that the mutations did not affect the overall conformation of the protein in its free state. The structures show a significant conformational change compared with the Nei structure in its complex with DNA, reflecting a approximately 50 degrees rotation of the two main domains of the enzyme. Such interdomain flexibility has not been reported previously for any DNA glycosylase and may present the first evidence for a global DNA-induced conformational change in this class of enzymes. Several local but functionally relevant structural changes are also evident in other parts of the enzyme.
Structure of the uncomplexed DNA repair enzyme endonuclease VIII indicates significant interdomain flexibility.,Golan G, Zharkov DO, Feinberg H, Fernandes AS, Zaika EI, Kycia JH, Grollman AP, Shoham G Nucleic Acids Res. 2005 Sep 6;33(15):5006-16. Print 2005. PMID:16145054[2]

Former F1 winner David Coulthard and Mercedes CEO Nick Fry have been confirmed as official spokesmen for National Motorsport Week.
Backed by the Motor Sports Association and the Motorsport Industry Association, National Motorsport Week this year runs from June 30 to July 8 - a high profile period for the sport featuring both the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Britain's round of the F1 World Championship at Silverstone.
"We are delighted that David and Nick are lending their support to National Motorsport Week this summer," said Colin Hilton, Chief Executive of the MSA, governing body of UK motor sport. "They both understand the importance of motor sport to this country and their endorsement gives the initiative further impetus as we look to build on the UK's long running success and encourage more people to get involved at all levels."
Coulthard and Fry meanwhile both believe National Motorsport Week is a great initiative: "Britain really is the home of international motor sport and we all have so much to celebrate," said Coulthard, who is also one of the high-profile Ambassadors backing the MSA's Go Motorsport scheme.
"The history books show that we have produced more F1 world champions than any other nation and British teams and drivers remain at the forefront of grand prix racing today. But there's far more to National Motorsport Week than simply waving the flag.
"It's a great opportunity for everyone involved to showcase their own individual successes and activities. More importantly, perhaps, it puts the spotlight on what's available at grass roots level. Last year I had a great day out experiencing an autotest, sporting trial, track day and hillclimb - all events that you can do in your everyday road car without the need for deep pockets."
Fry added: "National Motorsport Week is an excellent initiative designed to showcase our wonderful sport to Great Britain. Starting with the Goodwood Festival of Speed and concluding with the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, this celebration of British motor sport will highlight the excitement and passion of our sport, and hopefully bring a whole new audience to our existing loyal fan base.
"With involvement and activities at all levels from schools to club racing, and from junior formulae right up to F1, National Motorsport Week is a further example of how significantly the motor sport industry contributes to our economy and our country."

What version of Opera are you running? I'm running the latest under Arch Linux, but I didn't have any trouble under Ubuntu several years ago either. What distro are you using? Can you resize the dialog boxes? If you do so, do new dialogs open with the new size or still with the incorrect size? Is this an intermittent problem, i.e., do some download dialogs open with the correct size and some are too large? Do the same dialogs always have the same incorrect sizes or do they vary? When dialog boxes in other applications open in a size I don't like, I often press Mod+T to tile the dialog box. (I've considered modifying my config to automatically tile all dialog boxes, like ion3 used to.) If you can't fix it any other way, tiling missized dialog boxes is an easy workaround.

The awe-inspiring duo returns in The Stone Monkey. Recruited to help the FBI and the Immigration and Naturalization Service perform the nearly impossible, Lincoln and Amelia track down a cargo ship headed for New York City carrying two dozen illegal Chinese immigrants, as well as the notorious human smuggler and killer known as "the Ghost". But when the Ghost's capture goes disastrously wrong, Lincoln and Amelia find themselves in a race against time. They must stop him before he can track down and murder the two surviving families who have escaped from the ship and vanished deep into the labyrinthine world of New York City's Chinatown.
Over the next harrowing 48 hours, the Ghost ruthlessly hunts for the families, while Rhyme struggles to find them before they die. Amelia pursues a very different kind of police work: forming a connection with one of the immigrants that may have consequences going to the core of her relationship with her partner and lover, Lincoln Rhyme.
The Stone Monkey abounds with Deaver's famous trademarks: wholly unexpected plot twists and breakneck pacing, reminding us once again of why People hailed him as the "master of ticking-bomb suspense" and Publishers Weekly called him the "most clever plotter on the planet".
Solve another case with Lincoln Rhyme.
©2002 Jeffery Deaver; (P)2002 Simon and Schuster Inc.
Stone Monkey is one of the best books I have heard in a while. The story is fast paced but through with details. The characters are well defined and the narrator brings each of them to life with different voices. I listened to the whole book at one time because I just couldn't put it down.
"Another wonderful story."
Great story. Suspenseful, sad on the characters suffering. Narrator was wonderful with the changing of voices for the characters.
"Terrible Audio Quality"
Good story but it felt disconnected due to being abridged. Audio quality was terrible. I had my speaker turned up to max just to hear it.
"Not my favorite Lincoln Rhyme Novel"
Although I normally LOVE Jeffery Deaver, this novel just seemed so-so to me, especially the audio version. Albeit it is abridged, but normally I can follow the abridged versions fairly well, e.g. Coffin Dancer. However with this novel there were parts of it that left me saying, "What just happened? Who is that character?" I will say that I could catch up and I finally figured out what was going on, but then the ending seemed like every other Jeffery Deaver novel, at least in the Lincoln Rhyme series, where there was a twist you probably could have seen coming and bam! They catch the bad guy. So as for his novel, eh, it was by far my least favorite so far. (I am currently on Vanished Man).Now, let me go on to talk about Boyd Gaines reading of the book. From the very first time I pressed 'play' to the very ending of the novel it was hard for me to hear Gaines' performance of the book. He made Sacs sound too much like a simpering female instead of the strong female cop that we all know her to be. Then even worse? His Chinese accent. The first time he started speaking with his faux Chinese accent I was really confused. I kept asking myself "Are the characters supposed to have a slur? Does this character have a lisp or is that supposed to be a Chinese accent?" Oh, it was awful; so awful in fact that it took me two and a half weeks to finish this story when in reality I could have finished it in three days with my commute to work!With all that said, perhaps if I would have read the novel instead of listened to this very, very inferior version I would have liked the novel more. If you are a true Lincoln Rhyme fanatic and Jeffery Deaver fan then by all means get this book and listen to it because it does add some character depth to Sacs and her relationship with Lincoln. But if, however, you are just looking for something to read and have stumbled upon this book, DO NOT buy it because you will be sorely disappointed.
Joe Mantegna, He read The Coffin Dancer and by far is my favorite reader for Lincoln Rhyme novels with his very realistic New York accent. Or I would have recommended Dennis Boutsikaris who read The Broken Window by Deaver. His portrayal of all the characters was fantastic!
This book is followed by The Vanished Man.
"Great narration!"
I really enjoyed how the narrator brought the characters to life and the story was great! I enjoy the Rhyme series and being able to "see" the character grow and change.

Little League U.S. Champions Honored During Yankees-Marlins World Series
Event was the latest in long series of tributes
The team took part in the first-pitch ceremony, then settled in for the game as guests of a local businessman. The team also was honored during a regular season Florida Marlins game at Pro Player Stadium earlier.
Among other tributes the team received after returning home: They met President George W. Bush and Florida Gov. Jeb Bush; they were recognized at a Miami Dolphins game; and the Florida House of Representatives voted unanimously on a resolution commemorating the team's accomplishments. The resolution was co-sponsored by Delray Beach Representatives Anne Gannon and Adam Hasner.
Participants in the various World Series tournaments of Little League Baseball and Softball are accustomed to honors that have included visits to the White House, ticker-tape parades in New York City, and ceremonies at major sporting events.

Ashley Hebert & Kate Middleton Make News!
A couple of pretty, intelligent and successful ladies are in today's news, one being from Maine.
Ashley Hebert is no longer a Bachelorette! Ashley, who grew up in Madawaska and starred in the ABC dating reality show "The Bachelorette" was married this past weekend in Pasadena California to J.P. Rosenbaum. She's 28 years old and he's 35. They'll reside in the New York City area where she's a dentist.
If you remember, J.P. proposed to Ashley during season seven of "The Bachelorette".
And, there's a "Royal pregnancy"! The former Kate Middleton and the current Duchess of Cambridge is expecting. Unfortunately Duchess Kate is experiencing "acute morning sickness" and has spent the past two days in King Edward VII Hospital in Central London.
Prince William and Kate were not expected to make the announcement until sometime in December, but her trip to the hospital warranted an explanation.
The Queen of England was told she would be a great grandma just yesterday.
Regardless if the baby is a boy or a girl, he or she will grow to be the King or Queen of England someday!

Article Post
Vice President, Sierra Energy Group
Weighing the impact and keeping it simple
MANY OPPORTUNITIES EXIST FOR UTILITIES AND THEIR customers as a result of smart grid investments. But there is a delicate balance between the level of investment to make and the ultimate impact it will have on improving utility operations and customer service.
I recently discussed this delicate balance with Guy Ausmus, senior vice president of business planning and strategy at Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO).
Focusing on customers' basic needs
According to Ausmus, when you consider energy delivery in its simplest form, customers have two very basic needs when it comes to their utility provider. "They want their power to be there whenever they need it, and they want it at a competitive price," he said.
"As we've seen in many cases, having a fully functioning smart grid system is extremely capital-intensive. For the everyday residential customer, we don't see a large population necessarily wanting to monitor real-time pricing information throughout the day, thinking about whether or not it's a good time to run their dishwashers or turn down their air conditioning units.
"Instead, this segment of customers might benefit more from an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), which is slightly different than smart meters," he said. "An AMI would enable us to make the grid more reliable, because we would have the ability to capture timely information about grid conditions, utilize modeling and mitigate future failures within our transmission and distribution system. Having this infrastructure would also provide more stability in terms of electric spending-a benefit that would also be realized by our customers."
Balancing large versus small
On the other hand, Ausmus added, "A fully integrated smart grid system provides a two-way stream of information that enables real-time optimization and response to match our demand with supply-something that is particularly important to our largest customers in the steel industry. By adding AMI to that, these customers could also track and understand their energy use and reduce their overall electricity costs."
I asked Ausmus what advice he would provide to other utilities as they attempt to engage their customers with smart grid solutions.
"When it comes to developing programs and engaging customers with smart grid, keep it simple," he said. "It's nearly impossible to gain acceptance if you make it difficult for customers-no matter their level of energy sophistication- to understand what's available to them."
Ausmus also pointed out that in a regulated environment, it's extremely important that a utility's regulatory body share the same vision for the future of smart grid, and that potential cyber security concerns are addressed-such as the famed Stuxnet computer virus.
Lowering the cost of action
He also thinks that utilities should not lose sight of labor costs. "Almost anything smart grid can do, you could do with additional labor. In other words, all smart grid does is lower the cost of action," he said.
"And so it's all marginal cost, marginal revenue. If the marginal cost/ marginal benefit balance just isn't there, we shouldn't move forward so rapidly. So, I see this eventually evolving over years and years, bleeding into the fabric of our utilities, rather than just `boom', one day it's there."
Keeping it simple
Utilities are increasingly attempting to better engage their customers to ensure the success of smart meter and smart grid deployments. But how best to do this? I asked Mark Webb, director of policy and business evaluation at Dominion Resources, what advice he would provide other utilties as they attempt to engage their customers with smart grid solutions.
According to Webb, it's important to keep your message simple. "I think utilities need to convey to the customers that they will be involved to the extent that they want to be involved," he said. "Ultimately, the customer will have the opportunity themselves to engage and analyze their power usage, and if they're concerned about the environment, they'll also be able to see how their energy usage impacts the environment."
Webb thinks that the typical utility customer is smart enough to realize that all of the capabilities of the smart grid may not be known yet. "We need to show them the immediate benefits, the simple benefits, and then explain what some people think is possible over the long term. Many of those things will come true and some may not, but certainly things will become possible that we haven't even thought of yet," he said.
Analyze customer segmentation
Customer segmentation is another area that Webb thinks utilities should be analyzing. "When we talk about customers, at least in our regulated electric territory, our customers are not a monolith in terms of their viewpoints," he said. Like many utilities, Dominion has a diverse economy across its region, from Virginia's high-tech corridor to the tobacco regions of southern Virginia, and each of these subregions is quite unique.
The utility is also cognizant of the generational gaps that exist in its market.
"We have many senior citizens who are very much concerned that these smart grid investments could lead to mandatory time-of-use rates that impact their lifestyle, but we also have many younger people who are not only accustomed to using new technologies, but desire them," Webb said. "I think that somehow utilities have to find the middle ground to prepare for the people who are the new customers coming in, and at the same time be mindful of the concerns of older customers who may be less comfortable with new technologies."
Rethinking asset life
I asked Webb what regulatory changes may be needed in the future to accelerate smart grid development on utility systems. He thinks that utilities and commissions may need to rethink some of the expected depreciable life of assets. "I think that some of the software and solutions that will be components of the smart grid may not last for the 30 to 40 years that we're accustomed to," he noted.
"I also think that we're going to need to come up with a way for commissions to understand benefits that may be in the future, and may not be demonstrable in the near term. Looking at models like the Internet, or the build-out of wireless networks, and trying to envision the benefits that consumers will derive, may not be provable under the tests that utility commissions are used to applying with the typical cost-benefit analysis."
