Duke Energy (NYSE:DUK) recently announced its Q4 results which saw a decline of 33% over Q4 2010, but it exceeded 2011 earnings guidance range posting a 29% yearly growth in net profit. The improvement in earnings resulted from its modernization program and encouraging results from its international businesses division. These results were able to mitigate the negative effects of unfavorable weather which led to increase in operating and maintenance costs.
Duke Energy provides electric and gas services in North America and Latin America. It has approximately 35,000 megawatts of electric generating capacity in the Carolinas and the Midwest, and natural gas distribution services in Ohio and Kentucky. Below we take a look at the major trends during Q4, and what can we expect going forward.
See our complete analysis for Duke Energy here
Factors affecting segmental earnings in Q4
Although Duke Energy registered solid growth overall, we believe analyzing the results by segment presents a much clearer picture.
The U.S. Franchised Electric and Gas (USFE&G) division registered a drop in earnings primarily due to unfavorable weather, increases in operation and maintenance costs and storm restoration costs. However, the company recognized higher earnings from investments in its ongoing modernization program and a revenue true-up from a North Carolina regulatory ruling related to the company's energy efficiency programs, but these were insufficient to offset the costs.
Earnings from the Commercial power division also declined on account of $35 million fees related to exiting the Midwest Independent System Operator (MISO) and the annualized effect of 2010 customer switching in Ohio. The International Energy division showed a huge increase in earnings resulting from favorable volumes and pricing in Brazil, higher pricing at National Methanol, and higher capacity revenues in Peru.
Other businesses include Duke Energy's insurance business and corporate governance expenses that saw net expenses decline compared to Q4 2010 because of fewer donations this quarter.
Outlook in 2012
Under the company's modernization plan, which addresses environmental regulations and replace aging power plants with more efficient ones, it will add two functional power plants in 2012. This will lead to improvement in margins for USFE&G and commercial power divisions.
The International Energy division has operations in high growth Latin American countries like Brazil and Peru that will support high growth in future.
Our current price estimate for Duke Energy"s stock stands at $21.05 which is slightly above the current market price. We are in the process of revising our price estimate.

The Final Four has long been a see-and-be-seen event masquerading as a basketball tournament—only at a circus like this does Ashley Judd have a better seat and more leg room than Shaquille O'Neal—but it was the celebrity a few seats away from Judd whom Kentucky's players couldn't ignore. That's right: Jay-Z was in the Superdome.
The rap impresario sat and stood behind John Calipari's bench while wearing a New York Yankees cap, a chain heavy enough to anchor a boat in the Mississippi River and a faded jean jacket over a gray shirt with the words "BALL SO HARD" in blue lettering. The top-seeded Wildcats had to walk right past him on their way to the locker room. It would have been difficult under any circumstance for them not to notice him. It was pretty much impossible with him hollering for their attention.
Monday night will be big for college basketball. Kentucky coach John Calipari could win his first national championship. Kansas coach Bill Self could win his second in five years. And a generation of fans will say goodbye to the most famous overgrowth in the game's history.
Anthony Davis's unibrow has been celebrated on T-shirts, on frosted sugar cookies and even on the chest of a man with perhaps a bit too much creativity for his own good. Kentucky's Wildcat mascot has adopted the merged-eyebrow look. Kids in the French Quarter have worn fake mustaches on their foreheads. Even Davis's mother, Eranier Davis, wore a unibrow mask to the Southeastern Conference tournament and a unibrow rendered in what appeared to be eyebrow pencil to Saturday's 69-61 win over Louisville.
The Journal provides minute-by-minute analysis of this Elite Eight game in the Midwest Region between the No. 1 Tar Heels and No. 2 Jayhawks. Will Snyder and Ben Cohen offer commentary on the action and CBS telecast.
Everything in today's game -- at least the pregame hype -- falls on one player: Stilman White. If you're just emerging from a coma and have missed the last week, Carolina point guard Kendall Marshall won't dress today as he continues to recover from a fractured wrist. That puts all the pressure on White. If the freshman plays well, this game has the trappings of one of those legendary tournament matchups (see: Duke vs Kentucky, 1992). If he's off, Kansas has all the trappings of running away with it like they did against the Heels in the 2008 Final Four.
I'm basing these assumptions on the empirical evidence of UNC's rough showing against Ohio. There's no doubt that the Tar Heels have the strongest front line in the tournament with Harrison Barnes, Tyler Zeller and John Henson. But remember, Marshall was responsible for 10.5 assists per game, most of those passes to the post. Without him on the floor, UNC looked confused running the offense against Ohio.
Despite the potency of the Carolina big men, they'll face a wall between Kansas' shot blocking 7-footer Jeff Withey and top-scorer Thomas Robinson. The Jayhawks' defense is staunch, holding opponent to just over 60 points per game. And like every Kansas team before them, they can ring up a lot of points. In fact, if you're looking for the simple takeaway from this game, it's that there should be a lot of scoring.
Because it's UNC and Kansas, that means we have to mention Roy Williams. Yes, he coached the Jayhawks for 15 years and was very successful. But he's been back at his alma mater for almost a decade. Still, neither he nor plenty of Jayhawks fans seem to be over the breakup. One person probably doesn't care at all about the past, and that's Bill Self. He's looking for a shot at his second Final Four. As for Roy? A win would mark his seventh time in the national semifinals.
The Journal provides minute-by-minute analysis of this Elite Eight game in the East Region between the No. 1 Orange and No. 2 Buckeyes. Pete McEntegart and Ben Cohen offer commentary on the action and CBS telecast.
That low rumbling sound you heard 12 days ago was the nation's bracket-filler-outers climbing off the Syracuse bandwagon. That's when the Orange announced that the East Region's No. 1 seed would be without the services of sophomore center Fab Melo for the entire tournament. Melo averaged a modest 7.7 points and 5.8 rebounds, but his rangy shot-blocking (88 swats), shot-altering and uncanny ability to take charges anchored Syracuse's patented 2-3 zone defense.
Yet the Orange have upheld their seed with three victories to set up today's regional final against No. 2 Ohio State. For those that monitor such things, the Vegas oddsmakers still doubt Syracuse and have installed the Buckeyes as three-point favorites. That's probably just fine with Orange coach Jim Boeheim, who seems most comfortable as a put-upon underdog, if Mr. Perma-Grimace can ever be said to be comfortable. With no Melo, Buckeyes big man Jared Sullinger should have his way inside, as he mostly has since he arrived in Columbus two years ago. Also watch out for swingman Deshaun Thomas (25.0 ppg in the tournament) and sticky-fingered point guard Aaron Craft, who racked up six steals the last time out against Cincinnati.
Syracuse has won this season with defense and balanced scoring. High scorer Kris Joseph averages only 13.5 points a game, but sixth man Dion Waiters contributes 12.7 ppg and six players (not counting Melo) average 6.9 ppg or better. They'll need to share the load once again for Syracuse to cut down the nets tonight in Boston.
The Journal provides minute-by-minute analysis of this Sweet 16 game in the Midwest Region between the No. 1 Tar Heels and No. 13 Bobcats. Pete McEntegart and Ben Cohen offer commentary on the action and TBS telecast.
Remember when the wrist injury that worried Tar Heels fans was the sprain suffered by forward John Henson in the ACC tournament? That's so last week.
Henson looked great in his return for Sunday's 87-73 win over Creighton that advanced No. 1 seed North Carolina to tonight's Sweet 16 matchup vs. No. 13 Ohio. Alas point guard Kendall Marshall broke a bone in his right (non-shooting) hand in the same game. Marshall had surgery on Monday to insert a screw in the wrist, and the odds seem stacked against him playing today. That's especially costly because the sweet-dishing Marshall not only makes the Tar Heels offense go, but he doesn't have a true backup. Dexter Strickland used to slide over to the point from shooting guard to give Marshall a rest, but he tore his ACL in January. Little-used Stilman White and Justin Watts figure to get the first shot at Marshall's minutes if he can't go.
And as it turns out, the Bobcats are strongest in the backcourt, the home of their two leading scorers in D.J. Cooper and Walter Offutt. The Bobcats also force an average of 17 turnovers a game and rank fourth in the nation in steals (9.3 a game), so expect them to go after UNC's primary ballhandler, whoever that is. Ohio's best chance for pulling off the big upset -- a 13 seed has never reached the Elite Eight -- is to dominate the guard play enough to offset UNC's unquestioned edge inside with the 6-foot-11 Henson, 7-foot Tyler Zeller and 6-foot-8 Harrison Barnes.
The Journal provides minute-by-minute analysis of this Sweet 16 game in the West Region between the No. 1 Spartans and No. 4 Cardinals. Will Snyder and Ben Cohen offer commentary on the action and TBS telecast.
Trying to think of an opening similes for this game theoretically means comparing polar opposites. Apples to oranges doesn't cut it. When Michigan State faces Louisville, it's more like cement trucks vs. sports cars. Or cargo planes against fighter jets.
Tom Izzo's Spartans play heavy defense and slow, methodical offense. Rick Pitino puts his players in sixth gear and turns them loose like lab rats in a caffeine experiment. And yet Michigan State comes into this superb Sweet Sixteen matchup averaging more points per game than the high-scoring Cardinals. Michigan State and Louisville ended the season on a tear. Both teams are hanging the banner for their respective conference championships, but neither looked good last week in the round of 32. The Spartans barely knocked off a pesky Saint Louis team, while Louisville struggled with New Mexico.
So where does that leave us? Easy.
All hail Draymond Green! It's been a long while since college basketball has had a power forward who not only leads his team in scoring and rebounds but also assists and steals. Tom Izzo will obviously expect the big man to produce. And his offensive set will depend on guard Keith Appling getting the ball to Green or taking the shot himself. Izzo touted the versatility of his squad in press conferences this week, but it's clear this team prefers to use up some of the shot clock.
What can Louisville do to slow down the mighty Draymond Green? Probably not too much. But that's OK for Pitino. He'll have his defense press and run zones heavy on covering the lane. Speaking of the lane, shot swatter Gorgui Dieng will need to own it. He's averaging 3.1 blocks per game, and he has impressive rebounding numbers (9.1 per game), but pulling in boards in the Big East isn't quite as impressive as in the Big Ten. As for scoring options, true to Pitino form, it'll be led by quartet of guards, with senior Kyle Kuric taking charge. Kuric is supported by Chris Smith, Russ Smith and Peyton Silva. All four are averaging at least 9 points per game.
But, really, what's most attractive about this game is the mano-a-mano between coaches. These are two of the greats in the game. The team that wins tonight will depend more on the brains of its coach than the raw athleticism of its roster.
The Journal provides minute-by-minute analysis of this third-round game in the Midwest Region between the No. 3 Hoyas and No. 11 Wolfpack. Mike Sielski and Ben Cohen offer commentary on the action and CBS telecast.
You know who's probably watching this game right now? President Barack Obama, that's who. (Or maybe he's just reading this live blog if he's, like, busy.) That's because POTUS has a lot riding on this 11 vs. 3 matchup at 12:15 p.m. on a Sunday. On an otherwise chalky bracket, Obama picked N.C. State to the Sweet 16 in what was the first time in four years that he picked any team seeded lower than No. 6 that far in the tournament. In related news, Obama's bracket is in the 97th percentile of ESPN's Tournament Challenge. That guy! Time for some earnest Obama For America intern in Chicago headquarters to get going on the "We Are The 97.4 Percent" buttons.
The Journal provides minute-by-minute analysis of this third-round game in the South Region between the No. 4 Hoosiers and No. 12 Rams. Kevin Clark offers commentary on the action and TBS telecast.
The NCAA tournament (or, national "find out if you have truTV month") is handing out Sweet 16 tickets today and we'll be live blogging a doozy: perennial Cinderella VCU against Indiana, which is undergoing the return-to-glory path this season with the help of its talented big man Cody Zeller, who leads the team in points and rebounds. VCU's coach, Shaka Smart, said this week that this Rams team is better defensively than last year's, which made a shocking Final Four run last year. The winner of this game faces Kentucky or Iowa State (which is to say, Kentucky). So even if your team wins this: Surprise, you get Anthony Davis next round! Sit back, relax and enjoy the game. It's a battle between a team that's had huge successes in the tournament recently -- and Indiana.
The Journal provides minute-by-minute analysis of this Round-of-64 game in the Midwest Region between the No. 3 Hoyas and No. 14 Bruins. Jim Chairusmi and Ben Cohen offer commentary on the action and truTV telecast.
It's been a chalky NCAA tournament so far. Sixteen games were played yesterday, and only two were won by a team seeded lower. No. 11 seed N.C. State beat No. 6 San Diego State in the second game this afternoon, so perhaps we'll see a few more surprising results today. Then again, the Wolfpack were favored despite their seed.
But if it's upsets you like, Belmont may be the team to pull one off. The Bruins, fourth in the nation in points per game, enter the tournament on a 14-game winning streak and gave Duke a scare in their season opener, losing 77-76 in Cameron. (I have a feeling my co-blogger and Duke alumnus Ben wasn't feeling good watching that one.) In the 2008 NCAA tournament's first round, Belmont led Duke by a point before Gerald Henderson's driving layup helped the Blue Devils squeak by. I bet all Duke fans let out a sigh of relief that they avoided Belmont and instead play Lehigh tonight. The Bruins, along with Kansas and Memphis, are the only three schools to have earned five NCAA tournament automatic bids since 2006. Although they are making their fifth tournament appearance in the last seven years, the team is still looking for its first win.
Meanwhile, Georgetown looks to avoid its third consecutive upset loss in its opening NCAA game. Last season, the Hoyas lost to VCU, which advanced to the Final Four). In 2010, the Hoyas fell to Ohio, who most certainly did not. In the 2007 tournament, the No. 2 seeded Hoyas, featuring Jeff Green and Roy Hibbert, defeated the 15th-seeded Bruins 80-55.
Everyone's got an excuse for why their NCAA Tournament bracket crashed and burned. But few recognize one of the biggest culprits: the subconscious mind. You favor your alma mater too much and make irrational picks against your school's biggest rivals. You think your favorite conference can do no wrong. You're a sucker for the color red.

There is a difference from last year to this year in him and in several others in attitude when on the court. All the preseason hype has gotten to him and others, ergo the poor performance record as a team.

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
That exposure to top-level rugby on a regular basis is the first step to making Italy a force in the world game according to Mallett but he warned it maybe some time before signs of progress are seen on the pitch.
He said: "It is a critical moment in the history of Italian rugby – I can't think of an event that can match its long-term importance.
"I have pushed very hard for this for a long time. The quality of the rugby in the Italian Championship is no better than amateur club rugby in South Africa.
"It is impossible for players to prepare for the demands of international rugby when they are playing at such a poor level of rugby.
"My only frustration was that it did not happen five years ago because that could have changed the course of Italian rugby and we are five years behind where we could be.
"It will take time for the national side to feel the effects of these changes and I imagine there will be some poor results in the short term.
"But in the long-term this is crucial to allowing Italy to compete as an equal in the Six Nations."
Mallett's first priority is to persuade the likes of Italy captain Leonardo Ghiraldini and standout No.8 Alessandro Zanni that their futures remain in their homeland despite interest from a host of elite European clubs.
While the likes of Martin Castrogiovanni and Sergio Parrise are always going to be out of the Italian Rugby Union's price range, Mallett is already making moves to bring former captain Marco Bortolami back from an unhappy spell at Gloucester.
The days of former Wallabies and All Blacks picking up big-figure pay checks in Italy are also at an end with Mallett imposing a five-foreigner rule and all would have to be eligible for Italian citizenship.
He added: "It would not just be a case of signing up a lot of former All Black half-backs – we want different players to offer their experience in a variety of positions who can help with development and be available one day to play international rugby.
"Not losing our best players is the first step in the right direction. That enables us to choose the number of games they play a year and stop them being at the beck and call of clubs who pay their wages.
"At the moment we are handicapped by not being able to manage our squad during the Six Nations but we believe we can offer players an attractive proposition in guaranteeing how many games they will play a year.
"It is not just about playing against a better quality of opposition, it is also about getting players used to playing in front of big crowds and with a much higher quality of referee which makes a huge difference."

{mosimage}If this year's Los Angeles Film Festival has an unofficial poster boy, it's the New York–based writer-director Larry Fessenden, who may not be a household name (even in houses with a Fangoria subscription), but who is nevertheless the most gifted American horror auteur to emerge since the g(l)ory days of John Carpenter and George Romero. Fessenden's specialty lies in putting a highly contemporary and sociopolitical spin on the most immortal horror-fantasy myths: In No Telling (1991), he used the architecture of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to comment on animal testing and the morality of science; in the Independent Spirit Award–winning Habit (1997), vampirism functioned as a metaphor for the alienation of modern life in the big city; and in Wendigo (2001), the eponymous creature was a werewolflike Native American spirit, but the more destructive force was the clash between civilized man and his primal, animalistic nature. Much the same holds true for Fessenden's latest, The Last Winter, in which the employees of a U.S. oil company embark on a top-secret Alaskan drilling project that will bring "energy independence" to the American people while wreaking irreparable havoc on the delicate environment of the Arctic tundra. Until, that is, some unseen, primordial force bubbles up from the ground along with the black gold, infecting everyone and everything with which it comes into contact. Could it be the spirit of the Wendigo come back to haunt again? Perhaps. But as usual in a Fessenden film, in The Last Winter mankind is its own worst enemy. Call it the first green horror picture — punctuated by ample doses of red. In between directing his own films and acting in others (recently, he could be seen sucker-punching Bill Murray in a memorable scene from Broken Flowers), Fessenden has amassed a prolific career as an indie-film producer, including River of Grass (the 1994 debut feature of Old Joy director Kelly Reichardt) and two new works that screen alongside The Last Winter in LAFF. In the first, writer-director Ilya Chaiken's sensitively drawn Liberty Kid, two food-service workers at New York's Liberty Island — fast-talking hustler Tico (Kareem Savinon) and wide-eyed dreamer Derrick (Al Thompson) — find the job opportunities scarce after they're laid off in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. Recruiters of both the military and criminal-life variety soon appear, as the story ventures into that familiar territory of urban youths waylaid by ghetto realities. The strong performances and Chaiken's vivid NYC locations, however, lend the film unexpected resonance. Old Joy reconceived as a horror movie is the simplest way to describe Trigger Man, the stunning sophomore feature by 26-year-old writer-director Ti West, whose Fessenden-produced vampire-bat epic The Roost earned a brief local release back in 2005. Working from the purportedly true story of three buddies on a Delaware hunting trip attacked by an unseen sniper, West fashions an uncommonly naturalistic terror tale in which the emphasis on landscape and the gradual passage of time have less to do with cut-and-run splatter-cinema hallmarks like Last House on the Left and I Spit on Your Grave than with the work of experimental filmmakers like Michael Snow and Chantal Akerman. Rife with intentional echoes of the 9/11 attacks and unintentional ones of the Virginia Tech shootings, Trigger Man denies its audience conventional narrative satisfactions while creating an almost unbearable atmosphere of voyeurism and random violence, right up to a final scene that teases us with resolution only to devolve into yet another enigma. Who's gunning whom in Trigger Man? The point is that it scarcely matters in a world where everyday life is a deadly contact sport.

{mosimage}When the trailblazing "new Hollywood cinema" of the 1970s is nostalgically evoked, two names too infrequently mentioned in the hallowed company of Altman, Cassavetes, Rafelson, et al. are those of Paul Mazursky and Ulu Grosbard. This year, the Los Angeles Film Festival sets about correcting that oversight in a sidebar program titled "Movies & More," the "more" referring to the fact that all films in the series will be preceded or followed by onstage conversations with their makers. Chances are you've at least heard of Mazursky, if not for his recurring appearances on Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Sopranos, then for the fact that he weathered the grim moviemaking decade of the 1980s more successfully than most of his more lionized contemporaries, emerging with two popular hits, Moscow on the Hudson (1984) and Down and Out in Beverly Hills (1986). Mazursky's heyday, though, was the '70s, during which he presided over a series of indelible tragicomedies (Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice [actually 1969], Blume in Love, An Unmarried Woman) about modern American marriage and the pursuit of something like happiness. In 1974, Mazursky took time out for a love story of a different sort, this one between an elderly widower (Art Carney, in his Oscar-winning role) and his trusty feline companion, who, upon being evicted from their New York apartment, take to the highways, destination unknown. The movie is called Harry and Tonto, and from an era rich with road movies (Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, Vanishing Point), it is one of the most lyrical and picaresque, as man and beast encounter a succession of relatives and eccentric strangers (played by the likes of Ellen Burstyn, Geraldine Fitzgerald and Chief Dan George) who form a mosaic of hopeful and bottomed-out possibilities.
Now to the more pressing question: Ulu who? A Belgian-born former diamond cutter whose Broadway credits far outnumber his film ones, Grosbard was nevertheless responsible for one of the best and least-heralded American movies of the decade: 1978's Straight Time. In probably his greatest, least mannered performance, Dustin Hoffman stars as a recently paroled petty thief who flirts briefly with the idea of living legit, only to quickly fall back into old habits. Adapted from the novel No Beast So Fierce by real-life ex-con Edward Bunker, Straight Time sees the criminal life less as a choice than as a predisposition, and it bristles with the terse street poetry and solemn philosophizing associated with the later films of Michael Mann (who worked uncredited on the script). Also on tap, an ultrarare revival of Jospeh Sargent's The Man (1972), which was originally produced for television but released to theaters instead and returns to the big screen at what could hardly seem a more prescient moment: It stars James Earl Jones as the first black president of these United States.
The Man screens Fri., June 22, at 9:30 p.m. at the Billy Wilder Theater;Straight Time screens Sat., June 23, at 6:30 p.m. at the Billy Wilder Theater;Harry and Tonto screens Fri., June 29, at 8:30 p.m. at the Billy Wilder Theater.

Concord man arrested for assault after tickling children playing in park
CONCORD - A local man is under arrest, accused of pulling up the shirts of three young children playing in a park last week and tickling them.
David Johnson, 35, of Perley St., allegedly tickled one of the children in front of a woman who went to the park after her 9-year-old daughter returned home from the playground and told her about the incident. The little girl was "very upset," police said, and the mother immediately went to the park, near Perley and South streets.
She saw Johnson sitting in the park, yelled at him to leave the playground and to get away from her children. Johnson stood up, walked behind another child, identified as a 5-year-old boy, and tickled him in front of the woman, police said. The woman, who was not identified in a news release, went up to Johnson and continued yelling at him until he finally left the park.
Police said Johnson tickled three children in all, ages 3, 5 and 7. He allegedly lifted up the children's shirts and ticked them on their bare stomachs. None of the children is related to him.
Johnson turned himself into police after investigators obtained a warrant for his arrest.
What's next: He is free on $15,000 personal recognizance bail pending arraignment on three charges of simple assault, class A misdemeanors, May 20 in 6th Circuit Court, Concord District Division.

!daft! gig at Old Ticket Hall Windsor 2nd March being filmed by Belgian TV
In December '12 I received a call from a Belgian TV company asking to speak to us about a special project they were seeking a British band for. We talked and pretty soon I was hooked on the idea and thought it sounded like a huge amount of fun. The project requires your involvement as well at the filming of part of our gig on Saturday March 2nd 2013 at The Old Ticket Hall, Windsor.

Cross-correlating EPIC source lists for either merging or for correlating earlier pipeline source lists is done in two stages. The first stage is similar for both the merging of source lists and cross-identifying sources with earlier pipeline source lists. In this stage (subroutine compare_srcs) correlations are investigated and pointers between matching sources are set. Always the closest companion (in terms of sigmas) is chosen. Only sources within 3 to 5 sigmas will be correlated (the exact number can be set using input parameter maxerr). In order to avoid problems due to boresight effects an input parameter systerr (for systematic error) has been introduced.
In the second stage the cross-identifications are either used to get the pointers to the source numbers from previous detection stages (e.g. the PN_ML_ID_SRC field), or the two lists are merged together. The first option works for the data sets provided with crossidsets command line parameter, whereas merging is done if more than one set is provided using the inputlistsets parameter. Both options can be used simultanuously.
Merging means that new sources will be added to the list and parameters of cross-identified sources will be averaged using weights based upon the statistical errors. The maximum likelihood parameters will be all listed seperately using columns with dimension larger or equal to one, in the same manner as the crossidentification columns (see developer's notes). The reason is that maximum likelihood values cannot be simply averaged or added without losing its meaning as a probability related parameter.
For both merging and crossidentfying the source lists are read one by one and are correlated seperately. This ensures that not more than 2 source lists will be stored in memory. Upon execution the number of sources that can be stored in the summary source list is three times the number of sources in the first input set. If during the execution this turns out not to be enough, the source list will be copied to a new array with a three times larger capacity.
The output EPIC observation source lists are provided both in FITS and in HTML format, D.M.: where the HTML list is intended to give a quick overview for each source detected, but does not provide instrument-specific data.
As of version 3.10.2 the output FITS table contains the colums IN_b, IN_b_ERR, IN_EXP, with IN=[PN,M1,M2] and b=[1,2,3,4,5,TOT,XID]. These columns contain count rates, (IN_b), count rate errors (IN_b_ERR), and exposure map values (IN_n_EXP, n=[1..5]) from the individual instruments and up to 5 energy bands. In the case of several source lists from one instrument, count rates are averaged and exposure map values are added.
As of version 3.10.5 the strings from the input columns VAL_FLAG, VAL_FLAG, VER_COMM are copied into the columns of the output file IN_VAL_FLAG, IN_VAL_FLAG, IN_VER_COMM (IN=[PN,M1,M2]).
Fluxes and flux errors from the input source lists are copied to the columns in_b_FLUX and ERR_inst_b_FLUX (inst=[PN,M1,M2], b=[1,2,3,4,5,TOT,XID]). The columns EP_b_FLUX and ERR_EP_b_FLUX contain all-EPIC flux values and errors, calculated from the available single camera values using error weighted averages.
The hardness ratios and errors from the input source lists are copied to output columns in_HRn and in_HRn_ERR (inst=[PN,M1,M2], n=[1,2,3,4]). Also weighted averages of the single camera hardness ratios are written to columns EP_HRn, EP_HRn_ERR. Note: Since the EPIC cameras have different energy dependend effective areas, the averaged HR values depend on the relative expusures and/or presence of the individual cameras.

Universal Serial Buses, or USB, are one of the greatest things that have been introduced to the PC market. They are ports that allow you to connect up to 127 peripherals to your computer, and they are slowly replacing previous connecting devices like serial and parallel ports. Here's a list to give you an idea of what types of devices you can connect to your computer via a USB port: you can connect mice, keyboards, printers, scanners, modems, storage devices, digital cameras, and speakers- just to name a few!
Universal Serial Buses have host controllers in the motherboard of the computer. To connect to additional devices, there are USB ports located on the rear panel of the computer. Almost all modern personal computers have one or two USB connectors on their back panels. Most USB devices have their own cables, and all you need to do is connect the device cables to the USB connector at the back of your computer!
There are two types of connecting cables: cables with an "A" connection and cables with a "B" connection. These two types of cables are merely used to avoid confusions. "A" connections are used for devices that want to send data to the computer, while "B" connections send data from the computer to the device. All USB cables actually have four wires. Two wires are used to get power, while the other two wires are twisted about each other and are used to carry data.
Now, if PCs only have one or two USB connectors, how, you might ask, can you connect 127 peripherals to your computer? Well, this is possible because of devices called USB hubs. USB hubs can be connected via one of the USB connectors on the back panel of your computer. These hubs let you connect an additional four USB devices to your computer. If you set up a string of USB hubs, you can connect dozens of additional devices!
There are two different types of USB devices. They are grouped according to if they have their own power supply or not. Those without their own power supply are usually devices like mice and keyboards, which normally do not require a lot of power anyhow. These devices usually get power from the computer. However, if you have dozens of devices that depend on the computer for power, the computer will not be able to keep up with all the demands. This is why sometimes USB hubs can be powered to supply power to these devices. Other devices, like printers, have their own power supply. These present no problems to the computer because they don't depend on the computer system for power.
USB ports can transfer data at up to 12 megabits per second. These ports can perform three different types of data transfer.
2. Bulk Transfers
3. Isochronous Transfers

Syria starts new year with air strikes and shelling of civilians
President Assad is apparently going to use the only advantage he has over the rebels; his air power and artillery. Reuters: Syrians woke on New Year's Day to countrywide aerial bombardment, while President Bashar al-Assad's forces and rebels fighting to topple him clashed on the outskirts of the capital. Residents of Damascus entered the new year to the sound of artillery hitting southern and eastern districts that form a rebel-held crescent on the outskirts of the capital, the centre of which is still firmly under government control. In the centre, soldiers manning checkpoints fired celebratory gunfire at midnight, causing alarm in a city where streets were largely deserted. "How can they celebrate? There is no 'Happy New Year'," Moaz al-Shami, an opposition activists who lives in the capital's central Mezzeh district, said over Skype, his voice trembling with anger. He said rebel fighters attacked one checkpoint in the district of Berzeh early on Tuesday. Opposition groups said mortar bombs hit the southwest suburb of Daraya, where the army launched a....

Hi Kellie
I think that Pro Stealth tablets have to be rooted for them to be able to use the Play Store. You could download the Amazon App Store APK and use that, its just a good... Open this link on your tablet and download the APK http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/get/android/ref=mas_rw_ldg What Pro Stealth Tablet do you have? I could see if I can find a root tutorial for you so you can install the play store

Early this year bought a Trio Stealth Pro 7" tablet, (Mach Speed Technologies) came with it's own version of an Apps store that did not get all the Google Play apps.
I installed Google Play by following instructions I found (search Google for: "Install Android Market on Coby Kyros MID7012" (sorry as this is my first posting I cannot post a link for you). goo.gl -> am0liK I downloaded the Apps/drivers pointed to from this page & watched/followed (VERY CAREFULLY) the youtube video. No rooting required. I was very concerned because this reference is for a different tablet, running Android 2 version, and the Trio is a JellyBean device but it all worked. I must admit I had to do a factory reset once or twice as I had some mis-steps on my first attempts. Do a lot of research, there are a lot of video's out there that show very similar install steps and techniques. Good Luck. Ron |

Thank you Ron Heron!
I followed your search, and chose the following link (sorry, as another new user here, I can't post the link either): nwteche.com/red7_blog/install-android-market-on-coby-kyros-mid7012-or-most-other-tablets-running-android-2-3-3/comment-page-23/#comment-1977 The instructions given there are very clear, and they worked, even though the third .apk (GoogleServicesFramework-signed.apk) would not install, giving me the error message that there was another version with a different signature already installed. I went ahead and ran the fourth (and last) .apk anyway, restarted, chose my launcher (I use ADW, not the default launcher – all three choices were present so I picked the launcher I use), and voila, I now have the Market installed on my tablet! By the way, I am also using the Trio Stealth Pro Metal 7", but it's running 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich, non-rooted, and the instructions at the above link still worked. |

OU Praises House on Passage of Historic Climate Change Legislation
The OU is pleased that based on our discussions with Chairman Waxman, Subcommittee Chairman Markey and other key offices, the legislation includes faith-based and other non-profits in this retrofit program and we applaud Representatives Waxman and Markey for this important provision.
In March, the Committee released a discussion draft of the legislation providing energy retrofits for residential and commercial buildings while neglecting non-profits. The Orthodox Union – with the support of key partners from the non-profit sector – brought this omission to the attention of Committee staff citing the nearly half a million houses of worship throughout the United States, and specific cases within the Orthodox community, that could benefit from this program. Thanks to our coalition partners in the faith-based community, the bill's drafters agreed that amending the language would expand the goals of this program by allowing full participation. While many non-profits will still face a cost hurdle with only a 50% subsidy, this new language begins to addresses the concerns of the Orthodox Union and our partners in a very clear way.
Nathan Diament, director of public policy for the Orthodox Union stated:
"We are very pleased that the House of Representatives chose to address the concerns of the Orthodox Union and our coalition partners. If finally enacted, this legislation will provide needed resources to implement energy improvements in our synagogues and schools. From new heating and air conditioning systems to lighting and windows, this legislation will assist our communal institutions to save costs, reduce energy use, and aid the environment. All of this has been proposed and passed in a way completely consistent with Constitutional principles. As the legislation moves to the Senate we will continue to advocate for our community to enhance the program's level of support for non-profits."

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) - The Buffalo Bills have delivered on their promise to reward running back Fred Jackson by signing him to a two-year contract extension that's potentially worth $9 million.
Jackson revealed the length of the contract. A person familiar with the deal disclosed the monetary terms, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the Bills had not revealed the value of the contract.
Jackson had one year left on his existing contract, and is now signed through the 2014 season.
Jackson has led the Bills in rushing in each of the past three seasons. He had expressed his dissatisfaction on several occasions last year of feeling underpaid and under-appreciated.
He went public with his concerns prior to the start of last season asking the team to restructure the four-year, $7.5 million contract he had signed in 2009.
``It's huge,'' Jackson said. ``This is a day to put all that to rest. Now it's just about going out and playing football.''
General manager Buddy Nix allayed fears this offseason saying he expected to reach a new deal with Jackson before the start of training camp.
Jackson was the Bills' first-half MVP last season before his year ended after he broke a bone in his right leg in a 35-8 loss at Miami on Nov. 20. He still finished with six touchdowns and a team-best 934 yards rushing while averaging 5.5 yards a carry.
Jackson's past has been an inspiration among his teammates, and a reason why he's regarded as one of the Bills' leaders. Jackson went undrafted after completing his senior year at Coe College. He then spent a few years at the arena football league level, where he was a star for Sioux City of the U.S. Indoor Football League before catching the Bills attention.
He spent the 2006 season on the Bills practice squad before making the active roster the following year.

Jessica Mokdad and Pamela Geller
Posted in IslamMay 5, 20122 comments
For any Muslim out there, daily discrimination is nothing new. You kind of grow used to it and just take it as it is. At some point in your life you have actively done something about it, but then you just kind of let it slip by you again. It is not from not wanting to change the many incorrect perceptions about Muslims and Islam, its about getting worn down by the complete ignorance of others and the unwillingness to learn something new or accept that what they know about Islam is actually Incorrect. So when I came across this video of some brothers and sisters in America going up against Pamela Geller, I thought it was worth posting.

Software majors given Wakf lands, alleges MIM, demands probe
Friday March 18, 2011 07:44:02 PM, PTI
Hyderabad: The Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) today demanded in the Andhra pradesh Assembly a thorough probe into allotment of thousands of acres of Wakf land for various purposes by successive governments in the state. Raising the issue in the house , MIM floor leader Akbaruddin Owaisi said 1600 acres of Wakf land was given away to several software majors outside Hyderabad in the last few years. Similarly, Wakf land was given away to NTPC for setting up its power plant in Visakhapatnam and Wakf lands were also allotted for construction of houses of low-income groups in other parts of the state, he said. A real-estate firm held by a Congress MP?s family was given several hundred acres of Wakf land near Hyderabad, Owaisi said. "Let a joint Legislative Committee probe into the allotment of Wakf lands to various companies be ordered," the MIM leader said.

If you erase the buffer, > the overlays will continue to exist; They will span empty ranges, though. > basically, the Custom mechanism won't know that the buffer is empty. Well, we had this already. If the user is supposed to be allowed to call erase-buffer (and I don't see anything that would make this a sensible proposition), then the overlays should have the 'evaporate property set. Now your complaint was that user editable fields should probably not evaporate when empty, but the user editable fields are not read-only in the first place! It is a bad idea to protect the user-editable fields by having erase-buffer fail on completely different fields. That is a side effect. Anyway, it might be a good idea if erase-buffer also kills all overlays, after giving them a chance with modification-hooks and evaporate and whatever else there is in way of notification. > I think it is better for erase-buffer to get an error in the Custom > buffer. Even if you think so, I don't think that putting some read-only text in as a side effect is the right way to achieve this. Then it would be saner just to make the buffer-readonly. Or at least restrict the failure on non-evaporating read-only overlays without modification-hook, but let read-only text properties not cause any problems. An evaporating overlay, or one with a non-nil modification-hook _anticipates_ deletion. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum

MENIFEE — For two games, Menifee Paloma Valley's volleyball team let the rest of Division 2 know how formidable it can be. In the third game, the Wildcats got a reminder of their own.
The bottom line for Paloma Valley on Tuesday was an impressive 25-13, 25-14, 25-20 first-round victory over Norco and a second-round date with Lancaster Quartz Hill or Mission Viejo Trabuco Hills on Thursday. The Wildcats (24-4) still may have some work to do in the meantime.
"That third game showed us what we need to work on," said Anthony Johnston, the Wildcats' dominant outside hitter. "Our passing was way off in that game. We need to tighten some things up."
If the Wildcats need a reference point, they can use the first two games, when they dominated Norco (7-18).
Johnston and Austin Drown led the way, with junior setter Danny Romero putting the ball on the tee for both.
"Danny was definitely on his game," Johnston said. "He did a great job. I hope he keeps going like that."
Johnston pounded away at Norco for six kills in the first game. He also picked up five points on his serve during a 9-2 run that blew the game open.
"Give all credit to their outside hitters," Norco coach Matt Survillas said. "They run that offense as well as anyone we've seen.
"Our blockers got a lot of touches, but we weren't able to get them down. If we could have blocked some of those plays early, we might have forced them to change what they were doing."
It was more of the same in the second game. Drown got a couple of early kills as Paloma Valley jumped to a 7-1 lead. Norco got no closer than three points in the game.
Norco made a stand in the third game, leading 14-13 before a series of errors late in the game paved the way to an early finish.
"They (Norco) picked it up on defense," Johnston said. "But I think there was some fatigue from us."
Said Survillas: "We've been a slow engine to get started all year. In the third game, we went to our backup setter (Sean Kim) and that gave us a boost. Unfortunately, we didn't really show how good a team I think we are."
Johnston finished with 17 kills and Down had 10. Trevor Allen had seven kills for Norco.
"We definitely need to work on our serving and our communication," Paloma Valley coach Katie Bradley said. "But it was a good win."

7. Getting married again after getting divorced, just for a little extra smiting. Mark 10:11-12, "And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery."
8. Fortune telling. No 900 numbers or horoscopes. Leviticus 19:31 reads "Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God."
Guess what happens if you break that one? Exile. Leviticus 20:6: "And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people."
9. Polyester or mixed fabrics. What are you wearing right now? Is it 100% cotton? Maybe I'll just stick with leather. Leviticus 19:19 reads, "Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee."
10. Wearing gold or even braiding our hair. 1 Timothy 2:9, "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array."
