Well, that's not completely true. All three represent major improvements to your home. All three will increase the value of your property. But only one of them starts paying you back the day after its installed.
Yep. Solar's different. So when we talk about financing rooftop solar panels, we have to approach the financing with the same kind of fresh thinking that led you to consider a solar installation in the first place.
There are four typical financial models for solar: Cash, loans, leasing, and PPAs.
The first two you're already familiar with, and they work pretty much the same way for new decks and pools as they do for solar. The third one is not usually associated with homeownership, and the fourth one is unheard of outside of the renewable energy market. So let's start with that. one
A Solar PPA is similar to a lease, in that you don't own the equipment. Instead, that gear is installed, operated, maintained, and owned by the "seller" or "developer," which is generally a specialized financing company. The seller then becomes a mini power company, which sells electricity to "the buyer" — you — at a set rate. What makes this approach appealing is that a) the rate will almost always be lower than what the utility company charges and b) that rate is predetermined. So even if the utility company raises rates dramatically (and they do — consumers paid 32% more per kWh in 2014 than they did in 2005), you'll keep paying the rate agreed upon at the start of the contract.
You effectively have a hedge against soaring energy costs.
Escalation rates are generally built in to the contract, which will last between five and twenty years. Most PPAs fall under the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
Your new solar panel will cut your costs, and might even eliminate them under ideal circumstances. Since few homes can be 100% solar, most people will still pay the market rate to the power company for whatever electricity that is not provided by the panels. But there's a twist: With this kind of setup, when your panels are producing more power than your home needs, the excess is sold back to the power company. This is called "net metering," and in effect, your electric meter runs backwards during these times. You've just switched roles with the power company. Now you're the seller, and they are the buyer. Trust us when we tell you how great it feels to see credits on your electric bill.
It gets better. During peak hours — hot, sunny days requiring heavy air conditioning use — when electricity is the most expensive, the solar panels will also be working at peak efficiency. This means you'll be selling back at the best time possible
There are many advantages to a PPA:
The upfront costs are dramatically reduced, and in some cases, eliminated entirely.
The installation, maintenance and monitoring of the system is taken care of by the seller.
You only pay for the power you use; any excess is sold back to the utilities by the seller.
Retirees or anyone else who doesn't file itemized tax returns will benefit greatly from a PPA vs a loan. (See below)
There are downsides to PPAs as well. Most notably, if you sell your home, that is considered an early termination. And while the contract will cover exactly what is entailed, it's a bit like breaking an auto lease early, meaning fees will be involved. On the other hand, the solar panels will have increased the value of your home and should offset any early termination fees.
Leasing is a close relative of a PPA. You still don't own the gear, but you own the amperage that comes out of it. There is no negotiated price. It's yours. And if your state permits net metering, you can still sell back your excess amperage to the power company. You'll still get that warm feeling watching the meter run backwards. Try that with a new deck.
Loans are much simpler than PPAs or leases, but having the right partner in your corner certainly helps. That's part of Geostellar's magic. The same technology that allowed you to see exactly how efficient your roof would be for solar, helps us find you the best loan for your new array. Geostellar works with many financial companies, and can help you find the best terms for your specific situation. For instance, those in sunnier climates will probably opt for a shorter loan term, while those in northern and/or less sunny regions might want to stretch the term out. Either way, we help you secure the most agreeable rate possible, and we ensure that your financial deal includes any available tax credits, local incentives and Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs).
These loans are similar to home-improvement financing, with similar structure, conditions, and terms. Depending on your home state and financial situation, it is sometimes possible to deduct the interest and HUD insurance fees. In some cases, borrowers can re-amortize these loans within the first two years, to lower the monthly payments. Most do not require any up-front costs, and many states waive any increase in personal property tax due to the value of the panels.
These incentives bring up one of the big differences between a PPA and a consumer loan: With a loan, you keep the credits. Right now, the Federal Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit is 30%. With a PPA, that rebate goes to the seller.
Cash is simple, and powerful. No APR to worry about, no finance company. You get the benefits right away, and all those credits, rebates and deductions are yours. If you are thinking about selling your new solar-equipped home in a short period of time, this might be your best choice, as the installation will instantly add value to your home. And the idea of selling back electricity to the power company is a definite attraction to homebuyers. It's more appealing that fresh-baked cookies during the open house. But there's no harm in doing both…
Which model is right for you? Geostellar is here to help you make that call. We've already helped homeowners like you around the country take the logical, green, and financially-sound step into solar. Remember, we do it all: We tell you if your home is a good choice for solar, how much it will cost, how much you'll save, what are the best products, and we pick the installers. We're not going to abandon you when it comes to financing!

I'm developing internal solutions using WSS 2003 in my company. Theconcept is simple, I create lists and nightly synchronize (fill,update using wss web services) fields in that list with data from ourinternal systems of records using the web . Other fields are used fortracking work flow and statues and they are manually updated.It works well.I'm using the datasheet view with success and people like it for itssorting and filtering capabilities.I have some calculated fields that produce links to other pagesproducing "drill down" effect.The questions that I have are:a) Showing images in the Datasheet view:some of my calculated field links are very long as they includeparameters and I can't figure out a way of showing an abbreviatedlink or an image in the datasheet view. I can do it easily using theHTML based data view but the holy grail will be showing anhyperlinked image the datasheet view.The native "attachments" field shows in the datasheet view like apaper clip and is exactly what I'm looking for.Is there a way of doing it?b) Making some fields read-only.Is it possible to make some fields read-only in the datasheet view?I have seen it at work when lists have the simple approval turned on(so there is a way), but I don't know how it is done.
Both of these could probably be handled using a custom list definition.Alas, I would have to actually do it to tell you how.
The datasheet view is very powerful and useable.Is there any good documentation or book explaining custom listdefinition?Where are the native list definitions stored?
No books of any kind - trial and error only and some domain and syntaxhelp from the SDK. I think Heather Solomon talked about doing listdefinitions on her blog once.They are tedious, complicated, and tricky. They are stored in the 60hive for WSS v2 and the 12 hive for WSS v3.

Music: The Weepies
I've mentioned before that I often go to Grosse Pointe since Jim & I used to live on the east side of Detroit for 3 years. During that time, we made some good friends & I also get my hair cut in Grosse Pointe Park so we're out that way at least once a month.
One of my favorite places to eat there is the Sprout House in downtown Grosse Pointe Park. It's just the cutest little place that sells organic & vegan food (but also food for meat eaters), groceries as well as freshly made sandwiches, soups, & salads. And it's so busy there, too, because it's so good. I introduced Vegenaise to my friend, James, & now he buys it there all the time. (Of course, he eats it with eggs so that kind of defies the purpose, but that's another story!) We'll even buy takeout to enjoy in the park by Lake St. Clair when I visit him. Love watching the boats!
Anyway, one of my favorite things to do is figure out the ingredients & make whatever I ate at home. Such is the case with these two delicious & easy summer salads.
The first is a sesame noodle salad made with soba noodles cooked until al dente, then tossed with toasted sesame oil, slivers of finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame seeds, apple cider vinegar & red pepper flakes. I just mixed a little of this & that until it looked right. I don't like a lot of oil so I started with a tablespoon then went from there. I think I only used about 2 tsp of the vinegar & 1 tbsp of the soy sauce. Served chilled, this is wonderful.
The tempeh salad is kind of a take on chicken salad with some of the same ingredients (except for the chicken, of course!). I prepare the tempeh by simmering it (cut into strips) for about 30 minutes in water & a vegetable bouillon cube with a couple of lemon slices. This takes some of the strong taste that tempeh is noted for (& that Jim doesn't like unless I do this step first). As I've said before, I like it any way but this way he can enjoy it, too. Then I added Vegenaise (until my desired moistness), tarragon, sea salt, pepper, leftover brown rice, finely chopped onion, diced celery, & some dried cranberries. The brown rice adds a nice touch to this & makes it more filling. Serve over a bed of lettuce & eat as is or make a sandwich or wrap. James told me that if I hadn't told him it wasn't chicken, he never would have known!

LJWorld.com weblogs Five-minute Scout
Bob Huggins' Mountaineers resemble Frank Martin's Wildcats
Team: West Virginia
Record: 13-15
KenPom (Ken Pomeroy) Ranking: 115
All statistics from KenPom.com unless otherwise noted
3 Strengths
• Offensive rebounding: The three strengths I'm about to describe are going to sound a lot like Frank Martin's previous teams at Kansas State. Martin, obviously, was a disciple of WVU coach Bob Huggins, so this shouldn't be too surprising. The Mountaineers are the top Big 12 team in conference play in offensive rebounding percentage, grabbing 37 percent of their missed shots. Part of the reason for this is WVU's height in the post, as 6-foot-9 Deniz Kilicli, 6-10 Aaric Murray and 6-10 Kevin Noreen all rank in the top 350 nationally in offensive rebounding percentage.
• Getting to the free throw line: West Virginia boasts the Big 12's best free throw rate in league play, averaging 23.2 free throws attempted per game despite playing at the conference's eighth-slowest pace. Kilicli and 6-2 guard Eron Harris are the team's two best players at getting whistles, as both rank in the top 250 nationally in fouls drawn per 40 minutes.
• Forcing turnovers: West Virginia has created turnovers on 22 percent of its defensive possessions in Big 12 play, which is the best mark in the conference. KU struggled with giveaways in its first game against WVU, turning it over 16 times in a slow, 61-possession game (26.2 percent).
3 Weaknesses
• Shooting: West Virginia has struggled to shoot it from everywhere. In Big 12 play, the Mountaineers have made 44.5 percent of their twos (eighth) and 67.3 percent of their free throws (seventh). They've actually improved their three-point percentage to 33.9 percent (fifth), but even that isn't as good as it seems, as WVU's season three-point percentage is 30.5 percent (302nd nationally).
• Carelessness: The Mountaineers have given it away on 21.7 percent of their Big 12 possessions, which ranks eighth in the conference. WVU's big men actually are the team's most turnover-prone players, as reserves Dominique Rutledge, Noreen and starter Kilicli have the team's three highest turnover rates.
• Fouling too often: In conference play, West Virginia ranks eighth in defensive free throw rate, allowing 21.1 free throws per game. Huggins does have a deep bench to help counter this, as WVU ranks 18th nationally in bench minutes.
3 Players to Watch
• Six-foot-2 guard Eron Harris (No. 10) is one of West Virginia's best scoring options thanks to a diverse offensive skillset. Not only is the freshman good at drawing contact, averaging 5.1 fouls drawn per game (237th nationally), but he's also the Mountaineers' best three-point shooter, making 37 of 100. What limits Harris the most is his playing time; he's played just 48.5 percent of the Mountaineers' minutes this season.
• Six-foot-10 center Aaric Murray (No. 24) is a great talent that too often finds himself in Huggins' doghouse. Like Harris, he's played less than half of WVU's minutes this year, but when he's in, he's been productive. He's an elite rebounder, ranking 68th nationally in defensive rebounding percentage and 142nd in offensive rebounding percentage. He's also a good shot-blocker (78th in block percentage) and a great two-point jump-shooter, as he's made 42 percent of his two-point jumpshots (NCAA average is 35 percent).
• Six-foot-9 forward Deniz Kilicli (No. 13, looks like a mountain man) has two skills: rebounding and getting to the free throw line, though he only makes 55 percent of his attempts when he gets there. Beyond that, his numbers aren't impressive. He has the highest turnover rate among WVU starters and also has made just 46.5 percent of his twos, which is a percentage point below the NCAA average. Though he has good height, Kilicli is not a shot-blocker, and he also fouls too often, averaging 4.9 whistles per 40 minutes.
Like so many other games, KU's offensive turnovers should be a huge factor.
If the Jayhawks can limit turnovers, there's not much reason to think it will be challenged in this game.
If KU gives it away often, though, it risks letting a poor offensive team in WVU hang around by getting some easy points in transition.
KU has been a good defensive rebounding team this year, and WVU probably won't get a lot of free throws when playing at Allen Fieldhouse, so I think the Jayhawks should be able to counter those two Mountaineers' strengths Saturday.
That means if KU gets shots, it should be fine.
I'll predict an above-average but not game-threatening number of turnovers for KU against WVU.
Kansas 69, West Virginia 57
Hawk to Rock
West Virginia is a team that allows a high two-point percentage and fouls a lot, so I'll take a gamble and say that Perry Ellis has a nice offensive game off the bench for KU. The freshman scored eight points in 15 minutes against Iowa State on Monday, and he'll have to give great effort on the defensive glass Saturday to remain in the game against WVU. I'll say he provides another strong offensive game while continuing to peak at the right time.
Predictions tally
23-5 record, 318 points off (11.4 points off/game)

Eagan, Minn. beauty queen met her kidney donor down the hall
Rorman, a former Miss Eagan, is used to smiling for a crowd, but often, she felt more like crying in the dark.
"In the beginning, I thought I couldn't handle it, but I've learned I'm a lot stronger than I think I am," she said.
At 23, Rorman has had more surgeries than years of life. She had a transplant at 18, but then at 21 she suffered kidney failure and now has 12 hours of dialysis every week.
She has also been anxiously awaiting a donor. Through a series of coincidences, that donor will be Chelsey Larson, a recent graduate of the University of Minnesota.
"I knew I was the one, I knew. There was no doubt in my mind that I would give her my kidney," said Larson.
As fate would have it, at one point, both Larson and Rorman lived in the same off-campus house.
"I lived with seven of my best friends, and we were all really close, and one of them was going to study abroad," said Larson.
In January 2013, shortly after replying to an ad for an open bedroom, Rorman moved into the house. Rorman, the stranger to the house full of best friends, mainly kept to herself, but did confide in Larson of her need for a kidney.
While Rorman eventually moved out (and eventually had to drop out of college to due to dialysis needs), and Larson eventually graduated, the conversation stuck with Larson — who has always looked up to her aunt, a kidney donor to a stranger.
"It started out with just a questionnaire online. You had to know her name and birthdate, which I did not know her birthdate so I had to creep on her Facebook," Larson said.
It was in February that Larson learned she was a match.
"She is my miracle. She really is," Rorman said of Larson.
The lessons of fate and giving haven't been lost on either of the women.
"Everything in my life leading up to what I've gone through has been for a reason. And it's been so I can help Ellen. It's crazy to think that," Larson said.
For now, Rorman is excited for what the future can bring.
"This will give me my life back. I get to go to school, have a job, a family. I get to live my life. And I'm so, so grateful for that."
Rorman plans to return to college where she wants to study nursing.
The transplant is scheduled for May 29th.

By Nivedita Mukhija, student, NLSIU Bangalore
Nagarbhavi is a small area lying on the outskirts of Bangalore city. Surrounded by hilly terrain and thick vegetation at one point, it slowly succumbed to urbanization, in large part due to the construction of the Mysore highway in the region.
Today, it is like any other small urban centre in India: picture small, scattered shops, roadside eateries and tiny congested roads, shabby beauty parlors and a small bank, and that faint scent of festivity in the air during evening, when the market is thronged with people everywhere: eating, drinking, laughing, lingering….
Except Nagarbhavi isn't quite like any other small urban centre in India. It is an educational hub in its own right, being home to Bangalore University, Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology, Institute for Social and Economic Change and National Council for Teachers' Education.
However, it can be said with some degree of assurance that Nagarbhavi is most famous for housing the "Harvard of the East", the "mecca of legal education in India", National Law School of India University, Bangalore.
Established in 1987 and the first of the National Law Universities located all across India, NLSIU is consistently ranked as the most prestigious law school in India. NLSIU has made a mark internationally as well, winning several acclaimed competitions, and its students routinely studying further at the topmost law colleges in the world.
As a student at this elite institution, you get to hear all about liberal theories and ideas. About women's rights, gender mainstreaming in the Constitution, globalization affecting the feminist discourse, yada yada. In my class, the gender ratio is distinctly skewed towards the women.
The institute has produced various eminent women lawyers, activists, leaders, hotshot corporates, and will continue to do so in the future, I am sure.
However, once you step outside of the four walls of the college and into the very real-world Nags (as we address Nagarbhavi), it is understood that all liberal ideas are to be left behind. For Nags is notorious for its rowdy men, for its unsafe atmosphere at nights, for the occasional crime one hears about being committed.
Men will ogle at you, sitting in groups on the edge of the street, some of them on bikes will be more generous and probably try to touch you as they rush by, maybe even whistle and engage in a word or two.
Abduction cases are not unheard of, and last year's brutal rape committed near NLSIU campus only highlighted the levels of women's safety here. Thus, we are advised (first year girls specifically) to not go out unaccompanied at night. There is a general understanding that wearing short clothes must be avoided in Nags.
Except I'm sick of how ridiculously paradoxical it all is. One moment, I'm reading a treatise on women's empowerment, and the next, I'm changing into full sleeved clothes because I need to go out and buy groceries. There we are, preaching people about how we must stop blaming victims, and there too, advising juniors to not attract attention in Nags?
It keeps coming back, striking me, how a university that is expected to influence the country and drive change cannot even touch the atmosphere of its own adjacent surroundings.
How we are expected to draft laws on women's safety in the future when we couldn't do anything about what is happening right outside of campus. Classic case of not practicing what we preach. Being good only on paper. But bothers me so very often.
The prestigious NLSIU being helpless against its very own surroundings.

Upper Hunter Shire Council is encouraging everyone to register for the "Run for Olivia" fundraiser Fun Run and enlist family and friends as sponsors.
The community, sporting clubs, schools and families are invited to participate and help fundraise for The Olivia Inglis Foundation to support safety initiatives in equine sport and provide training opportunities for young riders.
The four kilometre Fun Run is just one of the attractions at the upcoming market day at Bill Rose Sports Complex on Saturday, 11 March 2017.
At the markets there will also be a bungee run, jumping castle, Sparkles the Clown, live music from the Ohs, lots of market stalls and the Scone and District Netball Association will be running a sausage sizzle.
Council's Tourism and Events Coordinator Jan Sinclair said another attraction of the markets will be a Ladies Pamper Parlour.
"In recognition of International Women's Day, an annual global event to promote the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, Council's Community Services staff are hosting the Ladies Pamper Parlour with mini massages, mini facials and beauty products, luxurious sleepwear, lingerie and much more," she said.
Council staff will be at the Ladies Pamper Parlour talking to people about the planned Disability Inclusion Action Plan and seniors' services.
Ms Sinclair said people were planning on attending from outside the Shire to take part in 'Run for Olivia'.
"We even have a bus load of students from New England Girls' School coming down to participate in the Fun Run which is great and they have been conducting their own fund raising in the lead up to the event and are running a massive raffle which will be drawn at 9.15am on the day," Ms Sinclair said.
"There are some prizes and of course trophies up for grabs, not just for first past the finish line but for who raises the most money through sponsorship."
Fun Run registration is only $5 per person or $10 for a family of four (2 adults and 2 kids under 12 years). All proceeds from registration fees goes towards the Olivia Inglis Foundation.
The Fun Run is being supported by the Scone Horse Festival, Scone Horse Trials, Hunter Thoroughbred Breeders Association, Upper Hunter Shire Council, McCallum Inglis and Scone Sports Store.
Registration to participate in the Fun Run and sponsorship forms are available at Council's Administration Centre in Scone, Scone Sports Store and the Scone Visitor Information Centre (VIC), downloaded below, or by emailing email@example.com .

Some recent reports have surfaced suggesting singer and reality TV personality K. Michelle is currently dating US Olympic winning swimmer Ryan Lochte. The two at least know each other we're sure. On his first Olympic gold medal win the singer tweeted, "And let the whip ass begin @ryanlochte wins his first gold medal . I'm so f**kin proud of u!!!!!".
Although the rumor is yet to be confirmed, this isn't the first time K. Michelle has been rumored to be dating an Olympic winning swimmer.
Could K. Michelle have also date Ryan Lochte's team mate and 2008 Olympic champion Michael Phelps? The rumor began back in 2011 when K. Michelle herself admitted to dating a white guy whose a swimmer with eight gold medals. It was also during a exchange of words with rapper Young Berg who suggested female singers needed to sleep around to get ahead in the music industry. She says this at the 57 seconds mark. Check it out.
Could this shared love interest create further rivalry between the two teammates and current Olympians? Of course not!
On Michael's 15th gold medal win, which makes him the only Olympian with the most medals (19 total) at just 27 years old, Lochte tweeted,
"Congrats to @MichaelPhelps for making Olympic history again tonight. Glad I had the honor of competing on the same stage as you. #TeamUSA"
The two were even among the men's swimming relay team, which gave Phelps his 15th gold medal.
See no hard feelings.
The question still remains, however, is K. Michelle and Ryan Lochte currently a couple?
Well, we've seen her disclose all her dating woes and bad choices in men on reality show "Love And Hip Hop: Atlanta" these last several weeks. As for Ryan, during a recent interview with Us Weekly his mom stated "He's too busy! He's so warmhearted that I don't think he'd want to have a relationship with somebody.I don't think he wants to get into a relationship."
"It just wouldn't be fair to the girl," she added. "He doesn't have the time."
Well, there you have it ladies. He's single!

Keep Your Eyes Open
Kein v' Lo: Snack Attack
YeLAdim talked to the LAPD and got these tips on what kids can do to stay safe — and maybe to help catch a bad guy:
- Be aware of your surroundings on the way to and from school, at your synagogue and while hanging out with your friends.
- If you find a note about someone wanting to hurt someone — or use a gun or knife — tell an adult immediately. If any of your friends wants to write notes like that, let them know that they could get in big-time trouble because threatening notes are no joke to the police.
- If you see packages, boxes or bags with bottles sitting near the street or in a hallway don't touch them.
- If you see anything or anyone in a public place that looks like they don't belong or is acting strangely, tell a parent, a teacher or another adult you trust.
- When it comes to safety, there's no such thing as a tattletale.
This section of the page is a way for you as kids to sound off about an issue.
This month's Kein v' Lo (yes and no) is about snacks at school. Many schools have removed candy, chips and sodas from campus vending machines and replaced them with what they consider healthier snacks and drinks. Also, many schools are telling parents that when they bring a treat for a child's birthday, it should include a healthy snack, as well.
Should schools be able to say what kids can and cannot eat?
The Kein Side:
- Many kids are gaining weight much faster than ever before, because of how easy it has been to get sugary-, fat- and salt-filled snacks during and after school. Eliminating those kinds of foods could cut down on kids' health problems.
- Most kids left to their own choices probably won't pick veggies over cookies or bottled water over soda. Cutting out unhealthy snacks at school makes sure that at least during school hours, kids will be exposed to more nutritious foods.
The Zimms Can't Wait To Go Back To School!
The Lo Side:
- Removing sugary snacks won't really improve health if, at the same time, schools are cutting back on time to get exercise during recess or cutting back on physical education. Offering nutrition classes would be a better idea, allowing kids to feel they have a little say in what happens to their snacks.
- A birthday is a celebration — if a child wants to have cupcakes, they should be able to — parents shouldn't have to spend additional money on granola bars or fruit.
Discuss your opinions in your classroom or around your dining table with your family. We aren't saying which is right and which is wrong. We want to know what you think. Send your thoughts to email@example.com with Kein v'Lo in the subject line.

LISBON, Oct 25 (Reuters) Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Lisbon today to meet Portuguese leaders ahead of an EU-Russia summit tomorrow that is likely to be dominated by disagreements on trade and energy.
Russian Economy Minister Elvira Nabiullina set the tone for the summit by urging the EU to back Russia's bid to join the World Trade Organisation.
Brussels has refused to sign off on Russia's WTO bid as it feels Russia has not implemented a 2004 bilateral WTO accession deal, especially by failing to cut export duties on timber.
''The reason there have been delays in increasing the EU-Russia relationship has to do with Russia not joining the WTO,'' Nabiullina told an EU-Russia business conference in Lisbon.
''The longer discussions to join the WTO are delayed, the bigger the losses for EU and Russian companies.'' Relations between Russia and the bloc have been beset by rows over trade, energy, Russia's human rights record and the future of Serbia's Kosovo province.
Portugal holds the rotating EU presidency and Prime Minister Jose Socrates is expected to try to smooth over such disagreements during his meetings with Putin, with whom officials say he has friendly personal relations.
''It's in the interest of both the EU and Russia to create the conditions for trade to grow,'' Portuguese Economy Minister Manuel Pinho told the EU-Russia business conference.
Putin landed in Lisbon mid-afternoon and was due to meet Portuguese President Anibal Cavaco Silva and Socrates later.
This could be the last EU-Russia summit for Putin before he steps down in May. Putin cannot stand again in the March presidential election but analysts say he is likely to maintain political influence after he goes.
Key points of discussion at tomorrow's summit will also include energy, Kosovo and Iran.
A proposal by the European Commission on the energy sector, including a break up of big utilities' grip on power supply, generation and transmission, is set to grab attention.
The plan included a clause to prevent foreign firms from buying pipelines and power grids if their home countries do not have equally open markets and an agreement with Brussels, something seen as targeting Russian state energy giant Gazprom.
European Commissioner on External Relations Benita Ferrero-Waldner was quoted today as telling Germany's Handelsblatt that there has to be a ''a level playing field'' on investments.
''If Russia kept to the rules of the game we would benefit from a good deal,'' she said.
Sergei Yastrzhembsky, the Kremlin's top adviser on EU issues, said on Wednesday the EU plan on restricting foreign ownership of pipelines and energy grids could be ''discriminatory''.

Albany Area Chamber the First to Receive Inaugural GACCE Certified Chamber Status
Fri, 18 Nov 2011 17:51:41 GMT —
From the Albany Area Chamber of Commerce:
1. Albany Area Chamber
From the Albany Area Chamber of Commerce:
The Albany Area Chamber of Commerce was the first in the state Monday night to receive a new designation -- certified chamber status by the Georgia Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (GACCE). The honor, given to 25 chambers out of 150 statewide, follows a national certification received in 2007 by the United States Chamber of Commerce. (See full list below)
"It's an exciting time to be in the chamber industry and to be a chamber in Georgia. The quality of leadership, programs and services that define the over 150 chambers statewide continues to increase," said Tiffany Ott of GACCE. "Many chambers have risen to the challenge during these tough economic times to provide unparalleled leadership and direction, helping their members and communities thrive."
The Albany Area Chamber is now part of an exclusive group, based on its performance, solid organizational infrastructure and programs, Ott said.
It's an honor Albany Area Chamber President/CEO Catherine Glover is exceptionally proud of.
"In 2007, we received the US Chamber 5-Star accreditation status. There are approximately 7,000 chambers in the United States, and out of that, only 234 are Accredited Chambers, with only 75 receiving 5-Star," Glover said. "We have a great team at the chamber so this award is a reflection of all the hard work they've done to deliver a product to the business community that is efficient, effective and a great value."
Earlier this year, the GACCE Board of Directors created the Georgia Certified Chamber program as a way to recognize chambers in the state that have focused internally on their operations. The program was modeled after the U.S. Chamber's accreditation program. To qualify, Chambers must meet standards in organization, service intent and capacity, professional administration, financial management, communications, and advocacy in order to achieve the Georgia Certified Chamber designation, according to the GACCE criteria.
The 25 chambers that were recognized during the 2011 GACCE Leadership Conference as Georgia Certified Chambers were:
1. Albany Area Chamber
2. Berrien County Chamber
3. Blairsville-Union County Chamber
4. Blakely-Early County Chamber
5. Camden County Chamber
6. Carroll County Chamber
7. Catoosa County Chamber
8. Cherokee County Chamber
9. Columbia County Chamber
10. Conyers-Rockdale Chamber
11. Darien-McIntosh County Chamber
12. Douglas County Chamber
13. Dublin-Laurens County Chamber
14. Forsyth-Monroe County Chamber
15. Gilmer County Chamber
16. Lee County Chamber
17. Newnan-Coweta Chamber
18. Paulding Chamber
19. Pickens County Chamber
20. Robins Regional Chamber
21. Tifton-Tift County Chamber
22. Toccoa-Stephens County Chamber
23. Valdosta-Lowndes County Chamber
24. Walton County Chamber

Dr. Books
My advice to new authors.
If you are a new author, it's because you have a passion for writing. For some new authors starting out it can be rough, it's hard to promote and get known if you don't know anyone. It will be frustrating at times, when sales are down, rankings are down and when you have a several bad reviews. Just remember for every bad review there is a good review. You have captured someone's heart with your writing. Whether it be they like your characters, or they like the story line. Not everyone will like your books, and not everyone will buy them.
Talking with other authors, and bloggers helps get your name out there. It also gives you a chance to meet new people and fellow authors. Never give up on something that you have wanted just because a few people don't like your style. Keep writing and keep on promoting. Let people know who you are and that you're a new author. Just keep doing your thing, keep writing the stories that come to your mind. Keep making the books that make you happy. I always think, I'm doing this for myself, and I realize as one of my author friends told me lately. I am my own worst critic. Good Luck <3

David Cameron's fury as Alex Salmond boasts he'll call the shots
PRIME Minister David Cameron yesterday ramped up his assault on the SNP after Alex Salmond was caught on camera boasting he will write Labour's first budget after the election.
David Cameron blasted Alex Salmond on Twitter
Mr Cameron said that the footage would "shock" voters as he intensified his warnings of an SNP-Labour alliance.
The Tory leader earlier likened Mr Salmond to a pickpocket in a day of acrimony between the two.
The spat erupted after the former First Minister, who is set to be one of up to 50 Scottish Nationalist MPs elected next month, was filmed at a rally mocking Labour's weakness north of the Border.
Mr Salmond said: "The Labour financial secretary said on the Andrew Neil programme famously that the Scottish Labour leader will not be writing the Labour Party budget.
"But then, I knew that already because I'm writing the Labour Party budget."
In a jibe at Tory adverts depicting Ed Miliband in his pocket, Mr Salmond continued: "I'll just check my top pocket. Oh, it's me! I'm in the top pocket."
Mr Cameron seized on the remarks, posting the footage to his 980,000 Twitter followers.
The Prime Minister wrote: "This footage will shock you: Alex Salmond laughs & boasts he'll write Labour's budget. Vote Conservative to stop it."
With animosity between the pair already sizzling in the aftermath of the referendum, Mr Salmond responded by urging the PM to "get a sense of humour".
He said: "The point made in a light-hearted way was that Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy had been slapped down by his party bosses at Westminster and told that he would have no role in a Labour budget.
"David Cameron is clearly a prime minister with both a people bypass and a sense of humour bypass."
Earlier Mr Cameron was overheard joking about Mr Salmond pinching people's wallets in remarks broadcast after a TV interview had ended.
This footage will shock you: Alex Salmond laughs & boasts he'll write Labour's budget
The PM, who had just appeared on a viewer call-in for ITV's This Morning show, made the gag as host Phillip Schofield moved on to the next item.
Mr Schofield said: "Up next, a man who can pinch your wallet, your watch and even your tie without you noticing."
Mr Cameron, who was off camera, could then be heard saying: "Is that Alex Salmond?"
Co-host Amanda Holden burst out laughing at the remark as the programme went to ads.
Mr Salmond responded in bullish fashion, saying: "The Tories have been picking Scotland's pocket for years and have been well and truly rumbled, which is why David Cameron and the rest of the Westminster gang are sinking like a stone in Scotland."
With polls suggesting a hung parliament after the May 7 election, many experts are expecting Labour will come to a deal with the SNP to form a government.
Tory campaign adverts have repeatedly shown Mr Miliband in Mr Salmond's pocket and as a puppet, with SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon pulling the strings.
Mr Cameron has warned that a government partnership between Labour and the SNP would result in a "coalition of chaos".
He was backed yesterday by former PM Sir John Major, who warned of "merry hell" if a minority Miliband administration were propped up by nationalists.
However, Ed Miliband has said Labour will not strike an "agreement" with the SNP and accused David Cameron of stirring up English "hatred" of the Scots.
The Labour leader's comments, in an interview on BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine show, appear to go further than his previous pledge not to form a formal coalition.
Asked if Labour would do a deal with the SNP in the event of a hung parliament, Mr Miliband said: "There isn't going to be a coalition."
Pressed on whether there would be "an agreement", he said: "There isn't going to be that."

In the latest battle between human and machine, Martin Mueller can perhaps be forgiven for his divided loyalties.
A professor of computer of science at the University of Alberta and an avid player of the ancient game of Go, Dr. Mueller has been following every move of the epic matchup that ended on Tuesday and saw, for the first time, a computer program beat the world's best player at what has often been described as the world's most complex game.
Dr. Mueller was not one of those musing about the future of the human race as AlphaGo, the program developed by Britain-based Google DeepMind, notched up its final win, taking four of five games against South Korea's Lee Sedol and claiming a $1-million (U.S.) cash prize in the process.
For him, the more pertinent question concerns the future of an entire field of research now that one of the holy grails of artificial intelligence has been claimed at last – notably, by a group that was backed not by a university but by one of the world's best-resourced technology companies.
"Are the most interesting problems in this area now only attackable if you have a big infrastructure behind you?" Dr. Mueller wondered after staying up most of Monday night, along with a small contingent of other department members and interested spectators, to take in a live webcast of Game 5 from Seoul.
The group has been gathering at the university's computer science department for the past week to tune in to YouTube for the games, along with more than one million other viewers around the world.
But in Edmonton, interest was more than academic, Dr. Mueller said. One of AlphaGo's lead authors is David Silver, who earned his PhD under Dr. Mueller and Rich Sutton, another faculty member. A second author, Aja Huang, did post-doctoral research in the same department. For the Alberta group, that made the experience a bit like watching a pair of hometown stars hoisting the Stanley Cup after a dramatic playoff series.
And in this case, it's clear that the new Gretzkys of Go have pulled off something unprecedented.
"It's obviously a milestone," said Dr. Sutton, a pioneer in a form of computer programming known as reinforcement learning, which uses a trial-and-error method to improve performance. Reinforcement learning is one of the key ingredients behind AlphaGo's success. It was used to hone the program, which is built like a layered network with millions of connections. Together, they can work somewhat like neurons in the human brain to evaluate the state of a game and choose the most promising next moves.
Those moves cannot be arrived at by brute-force calculation, because with more possible board positions than atoms in the universe, the game of Go is simply too massive a problem for a computer to tackle that way.
Playing on a 19-by-19 grid with black and white markers, the two opponents in a game of Go are bound by a simple set of rules as they try to surround the most territory by the end of the game. But the many ways in which a game can unfold mean that superior players are those who best understand which moves are most likely to prove beneficial in the long run, a subtle skill that has thwarted computer programs for years – much longer than it took to develop a machine that could beat the world's top-ranked chess player, which was accomplished in 1997.
AlphaGo has managed to be the first to cross the threshold thanks to its double-barrelled approach that involves both a learning neural network coupled with a sophisticated search technique. The program managed to sweep Mr. Sedol in the first three games, firmly demonstrating its power, despite his efforts to find creative ways around the onslaught.
"He tried so many different things. Against any human something would have worked, but the program just countered everything perfectly," Dr. Mueller said.
At their fourth meeting, having already lost the series, Mr. Sedol was free to play AlphaGo in a more daring fashion. He was able to spot an unlikely move that the program did not see, and it ultimately won him the game. But in the fifth game, which some experts have judged the most hard-fought, the computer ultimately prevailed again.
Dr. Sutton said the stunning win signalled that it might be time for artificial intelligence (AI) to move beyond the realm of games into areas where conditions are far less idealized, such as controlling robots that have to move and interact with the physical world.
Dr. Mueller agreed that "the air is getting thinner" for researchers interested in building programs that can mimic human game-playing. However, he added, AlphaGo still relied on studying human expert players to learn how to defeat them. The next step will be to design a system that can teach itself how to play – and be a champion – without any guidance.
And while it may seem like an esoteric achievement to the uninitiated, the success of such systems ultimately bodes well for future applications in areas that involve complex decision making of a more practical nature.
Chris Maddison, a graduate student at the University of Toronto and a member of the AlphaGo team, reflected that optimism in an e-mail to The Globe and Mail, sent as he boarded his flight back home from Seoul. "With the help of AI, we have the opportunity to tackle some of humanity's biggest problems," he wrote.

Perhaps nobody knows this better than Tony Schwartz, CEO of The Energy Project and author of Be Excellent At Anything , who has built his career around transforming the way we live, work and use
our energy. In our "culture of distraction," many of us live and work with divided attention and depleted energy resources, largely thanks to the unrelenting siren song of technology and social
media. Here are some sobering statistics: Two-thirds of mobile users check their phone for messages, alerts and calls even when it's not ringing or vibrating, according to Pew research , and the
average smartphone user checks their phone every six and a half minutes (that's up to 150 times a day). A 2010 AOL survey even found that 59 percent of mobile users check their email from the
bathroom. According to Schwartz, we've crossed the line of being able to effectively manage all of the information that's coming at us. He likens the brain on digital overload (and working memory
in particular) to an overflowing glass of water. Schwartz explains to The Huffington Post: "Its like having water poured into a glass continuously all day long, so whatever was there at the top
has to spill out as the new water comes down. Were constantly losing the information thats just come in -- were constantly replacing it, and theres no place to hold what youve already gotten. It
makes for a very superficial experience; youve only got whatevers in your mind at the moment. And its hard for people to metabolize and make sense of the information because theres so much coming
at them and theyre so drawn to it. You end up feeling overwhelmed because what you have is an endless amount of facts without a way of connecting them into a meaningful story." In a recent New
York Times op-ed, Losing Our Way In The World, Harvard physics professor John Edward Huth argued that the Internet may have a greater effect on our sense of meaning than we realize.

And the more you do that, Toma says, the more distorted your perception is that their lives are happier and more meaningful than yours. Again, this happens all the time on Facebook, but because
Instagram is image-based, it creates a purer reality-distortion field. Instagram ups your chances of violating the gray line of stalkerism. If you dont know someone, and Facebook is telling you
that you have interests in common, says Nicole Ellison of the University of Michigan School of Information, you can see their profile as a list of icebreakers. But that same profile is also a
potential list of icemakers. If you meet a vague acquaintance at a party and strike up a conversation about a science article he posted to his Facebook wall, that probably seems normal. If you
meet a vague acquaintance at a party and strike up a conversation about the eco-lodge he chose for his honeymoon in the Maldives, he will likely back away from you slowly. And then, Ellison says,
youve violated the gray line of stalkerism. Instagrams image-driven format gives you the eco-lodge but not the science article. And arguably, youve violated the gray line of stalkerism simply by
looking at those photos in the first place, even if you dont reveal yourself in public as the sad lurker that you are. Each time you swipe through more images of peoples meals and soirees and
renovation projects and holiday sunsets, you are potentially blurring the boundary between stranger-you-havent-met and sleazy voyeur skulking around the cabana with an iPhone. To be sure, daily
acts of stalkerism are all but part of the social contract at this point.

Loyalty Amazon has vastly expanded the number of goods it offers online in recent years, including clothes, groceries and health and beauty products, not to mention the goods being sold by
third-party vendors. As a result, "the economics of offering free delivery on cheap goods just don't stack up any more", says Bryan Roberts, analyst with Kantar Retail. Analysts also speculate
the change may be designed to promote the Amazon Prime delivery service, which costs 49 a year for one-day delivery on an unlimited number of orders. "The more customers who use Prime the better
for Amazon as it helps their retention and loyalty figures, but occasional shoppers are unlikely to switch as it is quite expensive," said Mr Saunders. Amazon is also trying to push people
towards making multiple purchases as profit margins on some low-volume products are "very low", he argues.

I attribute the visual benefit to our level of comfort in teasing one another a cultural dimension to our interactions. Despite the lack of in-person interaction, our meetings are productive,
dynamic and not painful; the latter generally a common characteristic of conference calls. Social Helps Create Personal Connection Because we know when someone hasnt shaved, or has colored her
hair, or wears a baseball cap of his favorite baseball team, our familiarity and comfort with one another deepens the connections between all of us. The connections we have with each other deepen
trust and allow us to move faster when strategizing, planning or brainstorming ideas. Social Helps Virtual Teams Build Culture Google Plus Hangouts are key to our teams connectedness. As part of
its features, Google Plus has sound effects. Its customary for someone to use the ticking clock to remind a long-winded colleague to wrap up his or her idea. Its an accepted way for any one of us
