Add a CommentThis is a documentary about the aspirations of high-school basketball players from inner city Chicago. It follows two high school boys named William Gates and Arthur Agee. Though both boys are in very different situations financially and family wise, they share the same emotional pain and success. William is instantly put onto the high school varsity team and his skills as one of the best players are evident. It seems as if William has a chance to be as good as he wants to. With the help of his brother, a former player, and his demanding coach, William finds success on the basketball court. As his career progresses William is faced with obstacles that may jeopardize his whole future. On the other hand, Arthur Agee starts of on the freshman team at the same school at William, but soon finds he is unable to cope with the financial demands of the school. Arthur goes back to attend the public school near his house to chase his basketball dreams. While trying to avoid the dangers in his life, Arthur is determined to use the game of basketball to achieve his goals. The two boys are transformed into young men throughout the documentary. Life altering decisions and college recruiting show the different qualities of each boy and how they deal with certain situations. This documentary gives a great insight on how student athletes think and how they must make the right choices in life.

A study early this year by J.D. Power & Associates found that about 10 percent of customers changed banks in the past year, up from 8.7 percent in 2011 and 7.7 percent in 2010. The biggest reason cited was fees.
"Unfair bank practices and rising fees are prompting more and more consumers to consider voting with their feet and taking their money to another bank or credit union," said Suzanne Martindale, staff attorney at Consumers Union. "But many consumers don't follow through because moving your money takes a lot of time and money, and some bank policies make it harder than it should be."
Originally intended as deterrents for bad behavior and mistakes, bank fees have become a massive source of revenue for financial institutions, which have come to rely on the steady stream of income as a counterweight to more fickle income from interest on loans.
Banks are even quick to tout to Wall Street how much of their revenue comes from "noninterest income," which includes not only deposit service charges and penalties, but also fees and commissions for selling insurance, annuities, stocks, bonds, money management and other products. The higher the fee revenue, the better a bank's revenues look to investors. Last year, banks reaped $29.5 billion in overdraft fees alone, according to research firm Moebs Services.
Banks say the fees are necessary to cover their own costs of providing the services, such as servicing a checking account or maintaining a vast network of ATM machines. A report by Javelin Strategy & Research said maintaining an account costs a bank as much as $400 a year.
But bank fees also are among the biggest annoyances and irritants for consumers, who feel nickel-and-dimed whenever they try to do anything with their own money. And critics often question just how high the fees really need to be.
What's not in doubt is the growth of fees. Inded, Pew found that banks on average levy 26 additional fees on top of the 12 most common charges, with fees ranging from 10 cents to $125.
According to MoneyRates' semi-annual Bank Fee Survey, only 35 percent of checking accounts have no monthly service fee, down from over 38 percent last year.
Only 34 percent of traditional banks offered accounts with no monthly fee, while more than two-thirds of online banks did so. And among traditional banks, 46 percent of smaller banks, with less than $5 billion in deposits, offered free accounts, versus 21 percent of big banks with more than $25 bilion in deposits.
Bankrate's own survey found that 72 percent of the nation's 50 largest credit unions offered free checking, although that's down from 76 percent last year.
The average minimum balance to avoid a monthly fee at banks soared by more than $850, with noninterest accounts requiring $585 and interest checking requiring a whopping $5,587, the two rival surveys said. At the largest credit unions, the minimums ranged from $100 to $750.
Bankrate found that 30 percent of credit unions and 29 percent of banks don't charge ATM fees if a customer uses another institution's ATM. But they will charge a non-customer for using their machines. Credit unions commonly charge $2 and average $2.08, while banks commonly charge $3 but average $2.40.
And overdraft fees jumped for the second straight quarter, to an average of $29.83, MoneyRates said. Specifically, credit unions charge an average of $26.65 for the first overdraft, while banks charge $30.83 on average, according to Bankrate, which said the most common bank overdraft fee is $35.
Meanwhile, Consumer Federation of America surveyed the 14 largest banks in May, examining their overdraft fees and practices. The median fee was $35, but two banks charge $37.
Several banks charge tiered fees based on the number of overdrafts in the past 12 months or the size of the overdraft. And banks have instituted complex new rules governing when the fee kicks in, how many fees they can charge and over how many days. Total fees can reach $370 in one day at one large bank. Consumer advocates even accuse the banks of reordering checks and withdrawals to maximize fees.
New federal regulations now prohibit banks from covering consumers' overdrafts and charging a fee unless the consumers have specifically "opted in" to permit the practice, particularly at an ATM or a store's checkout counter. But the rules are confusing to people, and many banks aggressively sought to solicit such permission.
And more fees are likely coming, as banks start charging for things that have been free in the past -- such as paper statements -- or come up with new products and services that they convince consumers to pay for.
-- 90 Percent of checking accounts in New York that have monthly fees.
-- $12 Median monthly fee for accounts without free checking.
-- $5,000 Median minimum balance needed to waive a monthly fee.
-- 49 Median number of pages in bank account disclosure documents.
-- $35 Median overdraft penalty fee.

Wiki and his New York rap outfit, RATKING hopped on UK beatsmith King Krule's "Octopus" to create an unlikely but great remix for the track made possible as they are both signed to UK label, XL Recordings. The sparse but melodic beat, presents a calm background texture for the group to layer on some introspective bars which showcases the young crew's skill.

Earn 7.15% Interest On Your Spare Cash
If you're looking for a tip-top return on your savings, regular saver accounts often offer the best rates.
This article was first sent to Fools as part of our 'Summer Lolly' email series.
If you're looking for a tip-top return on your savings, regular saver accounts often offer the best rates.
Take Halifax for instance. For a whole year, the new Halifax Regular Saver offers a brilliant, no strings attached, fixed rate of 10 per cent on monthly savings of £25 to £500 a month.
Trouble is, these accounts aren't quite so good if you have a lump sum going spare.
Think of it this way: with regular savings you won't earn interest on all of your savings from day one. Instead, you'll build up interest on a low balance to begin with, which gradually increases over the year. If you put away the maximum savings of £500 a month into the Halifax account, you'll only earn £325 in interest after twelve months.
That's fine if you don't have all the money available upfront. But if you do have £6000 going spare, and you were able to put it all in a 10% savings account on the first day, you would receive a far more impressive £600 at the end of year one.
Sadly, there aren't any savings accounts which pay 10 per cent on lump sum balances. Banks just aren't that generous! But that doesn't mean you can't get a great rate. Here are some options...
If you're happy to lock your cash away for a year or more, think about putting your lump sum into a savings bond.
Savings bonds are great for three reasons:
1. The rates are fixed so you don't need to worry that the market-leading rate you get today could vanish tomorrow.
2. You can't usually make any withdrawals during the term. This removes the temptation to squander your cash. However you will need to plan ahead and make sure you don't need access early.
3. The rates are very good too. And you'll earn that rate on all your savings from day one.
Take a look at the best bonds that are on offer right now:
Top Six Fixed Rate Savings Bonds
Bank | Account | % AER | Minimum Deposit |
Bank of Cyprus UK* | Bank of Cyprus UK Bond (Issue 20) | 7.15% | £1 |
Birmingham Midshires | 1 Year Internet Fixed Rate Bond | 7.11% | £1 |
FirstSave | 1, 2 or 3 Year Fixed Rate Bond | 7.10% | £1,000* |
Icesave | 1, 2 or 3 Year Fixed Rate Savings Acc | 7.06% | £1,000 |
Anglo Irish Bank | 9 Month Fixed Rate Bond | 7.06% | £500 |
Birmingham Midshires | 1 Year Fixed Rate Bond | 7.05%** | £1 |
*Minimum deposit is £5,000 for bonds paying monthly interest rather than annually. ** The Post Office, Anglo Irish Bank and West Bromwich Building Society also offer fixed rates bonds which pay 7.05%.
All these bonds will provide you with far more interest after a year than you would get by saving every month with the Halifax Regular Saver. So don't be fooled by an eye-catching rate.
Better still, you won't need a small fortune to qualify for rates above 7% either. Half of the top six can be opened with just £1. But don't forget, most bonds can't be topped up, so you'll need cash available in advance to make the most of it.
If the idea of locking your money away for a year or more is too much of a commitment, try a notice account instead.
Top Notice Accounts (with better rates than easy access accounts)
Bank | Account | % AER | Minimum Deposit | Bonus |
Heritable Bank | 60 Day Notice Acc (Issue 1) | 6.60% | £1,000 | 0.60% for 1st 6 mths |
Derbyshire Building Society | Postal 60 Triple Guarantee | 6.55% | £250 | No |
Investec | High Five (3 months notice) | 6.55% | £25,000 | No |
These best-buy accounts can be accessed after two to three months notice, so they're no good if you're likely to need cash out of the blue. But with a bit of planning you can enjoy great rates which beat the best of the easy access accounts.
For those of you with a reasonably large sum to save, the High Five account from Investec is interesting because the rate is determined by the average of the five highest savings rates available (as published by data website, Moneyfacts). This means the account will always provide one of the most competitive rates on the market.
But there's no doubt, bonds and notice accounts may not be a flexible as you need them to be. If you like to be able to get your cash in a flash, an easy access account is a probably a better bet.
There are a whole clutch of accounts paying well over 6 per cent. Try Birmingham Midshires' e-Saver (Issue 2) which pays a market-leading 6.52 per cent or Bradford & Bingley's Interest Saver 3 which pays 6.51 per cent, but guarantees to match the base rate -- at least -- until 1 January 2010.

Unlike Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server 2005, PostgreSQL offers no built-in function to dynamically rank rows. However, one can use the MSDN article, How to dynamically number rows in a SELECT Transact-SQL statement, as a basis for developing techniques that do work in PostgreSQL. This article assumes that there exists a table named players
, containing two columns, player_id
and score
The first technique is the simplest to understand, but requires the use of a temporary sequencer. If sequencer functionality is not available in your database, then this technique cannot be utilitized:
CREATE TEMPORARY SEQUENCE rank_seq;
SELECT player_id, score, nextval('rank_seq') AS rank FROM
(SELECT * FROM players ORDER BY score DESC) as p1
ORDER BY rank
The second technique uses a subselect statement to rank its result. This can be computationally expense because of the COUNT
operation within the subselect statement:
player_id, score,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM players p2
WHERE p2.score > p1.score) + 1 AS rank
players p1
ORDER BY score DESC
The third and final technique uses a self-join operation. It is ideal for environments on lightweight databases where the subselect statement is available. Unfortunately, this technique is also the least intuitive of the three. I recommend running this query piecewise in a query browser to understand how the individual components fit together:
p1.player_id, p1.score, COUNT(p2.player_id) AS rank
players p1, players p2
p2.score >= p1.score
p1.player_id, p1.score
ORDER BY rank

Obama's hospital funding cuts seen worsening primary care doctor shortage
Bloomberg, March 2, 2012
A plan to reduce federal funding for teaching hospitals in President Barack Obama's fiscal 2013 budget proposal will curb training for primary care doctors, undermining a top priority of the 2010 healthcare law he fought to enact, a Bloomberg Government study shows. The proposed cuts, if enacted, will cause hospitals to adjust the mix of residency slots to focus on specialty positions that are the most profitable, according to the study by Bloomberg Government healthcare analyst Brian Rye. That will steer medical students to specialties that can pay twice as much as primary care, according to medical school executives.

Equity Diversity Interdependence
Promoting a Peaceful and FairSociety based on Reconciliationand Mutual Trust.
04 December 2007
Confirmed Minutes
In Attendance: John Cousins (Chair), Chris O'Halloran, Nigel McKinney, Caroline Wilson and Jim Campbell.
Apologies: Séan Coll, Micháela Mackin and Sheena Funston
Staff: Jacqueline Irwin, Joan Clements, Carol Taylor, Brian Mullan and Frances McClelland.
Agreed with no alterations.
Chris O'Halloran requested further information regarding the suggestion from Sheena Funston on the archiving work taking place in the Linen Hall Library.
Caroline Wilson explained the Linen Hall Library will archive organisations information such as annual reports, political pamphlets etc
Joan Clements & Brian Mullan
Half year verifications are now complete.
Joan Clements informed the committee that one organisation has not opened a separate bank account for CRC funding which has led to difficulty in verifying their core funding spend. The group will now be issued with a final warning and re-verified in January. Joan Clements will provide an update to the committee at the next meeting. Joan Clements also informed the committee that this organisation does not have any administrative support which has led to difficulties for the organisation.
Expenditure Report:
To date the scheme has seen just under £1.6million distributed to the Core Funding Scheme bringing the total of Core Funding administered by the CRC to date to just under £9million (from 2003). The scheme is due to end in March 2008.
Officers have been working to allow groups to reallocate their in year savings from the financial year 2006-2007. Work on this is almost complete and letters of offer will be going out to Core Funded groups in the coming weeks. Any money not reallocated will be made available through an application process to which all Core Funded groups can apply.
Befriending Work
A further 82 people have completed or are engaged with the befriending training provided by CRC via QE5 and ILM (consultancy and training body). This will bring the total to 200 people with accredited training from all over Northern Ireland. The certificate presentation ceremony was due to take place in December however many of the befrienders due to receive certificates are not available on this date. Joan Clements suggested to the committee to postpone this date until late January. Committee agreed.
Who Care's for the Carer's Update
There has been feedback from within the Western area and a steering group is in the process of being formed to consider funding for victims care unit that would emulate the Trauma Resource Centre Everton Complex Belfast. The model would reflect the unique needs within a rural setting. Importantly an exercise is currently underway to identify the strengths of individual groups within the area, how skills can be shared and standards set for each service.
The model will seek funding from various funders.
Armagh Health Board has now made contact and an appointment has been arranged for January 2008.
Brian Mullan met with Relatives for Justice who informed the Council that they have not received any formal information from OFMDFM regarding funding beyond March 08. As a result they have now had to place staff on protective notice.
Caroline Wilson suggested sending a letter to OFMDFM to outline these concerns and also this could possibly have a detrimental effect on the Council and its relationships with groups by not having any information to provide.
Duncan Morrowhas recently sent a letter highlighting these concerns as there has been no official announcement.
John Cousins requested the Councils' Chairman contact OFMDFM to encourage an announcement to confirm the extension. Brian Mullan to liaise with Duncan Morrow and the Council Chairman.
Carol Taylor & Frances McClelland
Carol Taylor informed the committee that both schemes are now fully committed. The programme is still open to receive new applications until the 14th December 2007. Applications requesting funding for projects have been prioritised into high, medium and low categories. The Council is unable to fund all projects that meet criteria. Groups have been informed of this position and Micháela Mackin has discussed the issues with the Victims Unit. Officers have looked at timescales of projects and where possible encouraging groups to re-apply for projects to take place in the new financial year. The programme will be opening for new applications from the 12th February 2008.
The victims' team and CRC staff had a roundtable discussion with Dr Sandra Bloom psychiatrist and Executive Director of the Sanctuary Leadership Development Institute. Dr Sandra Bloom shared her knowledge of working with trauma. The Wider Circle were awarded funding to bring Dr Bloom over to meet with their members and other victims &survivors organisations throughout the province.
Team Update
Brian Mullanpassed on Micháela Mackin's thanks to the committee members for facilitating at the victims conference.
Micháela is currently working with the policy programme to draft a response to the Eames Bradley Consultation Group on the Past. At the request of the funded groups a seminar has been organised on the 11th December at the Dungannon office/conference centre.
Discussion commenced on the "Hearing the Voices report – sharing perspectives in the victim/survivor sector". Caroline Wilson stated that the report was excellent and hoped there would be an opportunity for further discussion.
Brian Mullanstated that all parties are keen to work on a programme of seminars to take this report forward. Brian reminded committee that the full report is available for download on the Council's website.
Core Funding File Review – Soft Indicators
Brian presented a paper on the type of work carried out by the core funded organisations and what they though to be the potential benefits of each type of work they were carrying out.
Discussion commenced on the difficulty in measuring the outcomes of this work and the value will vary with each organisation.
It was agreed that Brian Mullan will make contact with CENI who have worked on measuring social economy indicators as there may be an overlap in the work and some of their concepts could be useful.
It was agreed that it is crucial to evaluate and this must be addressed. John Cousins suggested that 'Qualitative' should be used instead of the word 'Indicators' as it is important to measure in this sector.
Any Other Business
Jacqueline Irwinprovided an update to committee on Peace II measure 2.1 from SEUPB. They are due to meet shortly. Discussion will take place on the gap in funding.
Date of Next Meeting:
Date, time and locations of meetings for the next 12 months will be emailed to committee in due course.

It's a shame that the residents have elected officials like Fullilove and Hereton. If either had any respect for the city or themselves they would both leave today. We all know the answers to that.

Thank you, really, but for one thing, I have come to respect Mr. Silvas, he has really stepped up. We see him on Dwain's side often as not.
I do not speak for Mr. Turner, though we are friends. I don't think I'm going out of bounds by telling you one factor in his not running before has been he did not want to run against Morrison.
Something I live by, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
From SnS; "And most of the people in SMD-6 (Southland and the Bluffs) have to work to pay for their overvalued houses to pay for the schools and city expenses". Well, we tried. The last City Charter Review Committee put forth a change that would pay Council I think about $5K. Nothing to write home about, but maybe just enough to allow working stiffs to take off a couple days a month without beggaring the family.
The Proposition failed by about 500 votes. Thought it was a good idea then, still do, but as with all Charter measures, it is up to the voters.
Barb got one thing right: this election has the potential to turn this city around, it is as important as any in recent memory. Please voters, pay attention and then vote. For us, for San Angelo, for our children, listen, learn, and most important, vote!

San Antonio Web Design Company Taking You Mobile
San Antonio web design company, Focused Idea, is hard at work mobilizing the city. But, doing in a unique way by educating business owners about the need for a mobile website.
Helotes, TX (I-Newswire) October 1, 2012 - San Antonio web design company, Focused Idea, is hard at work mobilizing the city. But, doing so in a unique way - by educating business owners about the need for a mobile website. A report found at http://focusedidea.com/mobilereport explains what to look for in a mobile web company and what a mobile site can do for businesses.
"My goal with this website is to help inform business owners about the need for a mobile website," said Brian Gibbs, owner of Focused Idea. "We are taking the approach of educating them on what a mobile site is exactly, and how to find the right company to build it for them."
The website is full of information and has several articles to help business owners determine if they need a mobile website to what makes a mobile website different from their current site.
Gibbs stated that just because your site shows up on today's mobile devices doesn't mean it is usable. "Mobile users want to find important information fast. They don't have the time to go through several pages to find what they're looking for. They certainly don't want to pinch and squeeze to make the page readable."
He mentioned that there are really only two key elements to a mobile website that are required: a clearly visible phone number, and directions to your location. These are important because mobile users are typically looking for a vendor to do business with now.
Further information about a mobile website for your company can be found online at http://focusedidea.com/mobilereport

Catania v AC Milan Preview
Stadio Angelo Massimino, Catania
MATCH IN A SENTENCE: AC Milan earned an improbable victory over Scudetto holders Juventus on Sunday but will be in tough against a Catania side that was unbeaten in four before suffering a 3-1 loss to Sicilian rivals Palermo on Saturday.
BREAKDOWN: Little more than reputation separates these two sides ahead of Friday's showdown at Stadio Angelo Massimino.
Catania have nowhere near the pedigree of their famous guests but are nevertheless two places higher in the table ahead of kickoff while European giants Milan are attempting to put together a run of results appropriate for a side of their stature.
The Rossoneri snuck a 1-0 win from under the noses of league-leaders Juventus the last time out and are now unbeaten in their last three matches in all competitions. But with such modest streak on which to build manager Massimiliano Allegri is aware that the most important game is always the next one, and he said exactly that in his pre-match press conference on Thursday.
"This game will be much more important than the match against Juventus," Allegri told reporters. "This is a match of fundamental importance to our league position. Catania are a point above us, and we want to follow up on our win over Juve."
Catania, meanwhile, are presently eighth in the standings and would temporarily move ahead of Parma with a win on Friday. They're confident about their chances of taking all three points from Milan, and manager Rolando Maran is hoping for exactly that after the loss to Palermo.
"We can emerge from the derby better than ever," he said. "We need to remember what has been done so far in the campaign and not forget the good things that have happened. We have spirit and quality, and that will be essential when we face Milan."
Presently 10th in Serie A, Milan would move up three places with a win and leapfrog Catania in the process.
ESSENTIALS: Catania are without midfielders Fabio Sciacca, Marco Biagianti and Julio Izco and forward Keko, all of whom are injured. Defender Nicolas Spolli and forward Alejandro Gomez are both suspended due to accumulation of yellow cards.
Milan's injury list includes defenders Djamel Mesbah, Didac Vila, Ignazio Abate Daniele Bonera and Luca Antonini and midfielder Sulley Muntari. Goalkeeper Christian Abbiati is expected to start between the sticks after picking up a back injury ahead of the Juventus match. Defender Mario Yepes is suspended.
KEY BATTLE: Francesco Lodi wears the number-10 shirt for Catania and, appropriately, pulls all the strings for the Rossazzurri going forward. He has enjoyed a tremendous start to the season and will look to supply quality service to Catania's three-pronged attack. He'll also be seeing a lot of Nigel de Jong on Friday as the Milan hardman will attempt to limit Catania's creativity in the centre of the park.
FORMATIONS: Maran will deploy a 4-3-3 formation with Souleymane Doukara, Lucas Castro and Pablo Barrientos across the forward line. Allegri will go with a 4-3-1-2 with Kevin-Prince Boateng operating in the hole behind Robinho and Stephan El Shaarawy.
BETLINE: Catania 21/10; Draw 12/5; AC Milan 5/4. Catania held Milan to a 1-1 draw on this ground last March.

FOREX-Yen slips to 7-week low vs euro, dollar holds to gains
* Yen weakens before Japan upper house election
* Dollar climbs, no surprises from Bernanke
* U.S. Treasury yields lower, to check sharp dollar gains
LONDON, July 18 (Reuters) - The yen fell on Thursday, dropping to a seven-week low against the euro, as hedge funds sold the currency before Japanese upper house elections on Sunday that would strengthen Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's position. Opinion polls show Abe's ruling bloc on track for a big win lending a rare bout of political stability to Japan. That will give Abe more freedom to push forward his agenda to revive the economy through aggressive monetary easing and hefty government spending. All of which is likely to keep the yen under pressure. The euro rose to a seven-week high of 131.47 yen while the dollar gained 0.7 percent to 100.35 yen. Investors such as hedge funds were cited as buyers of dollar/yen with stop-loss buy orders layered at 100.50 and 101.00 yen, traders said. "Anything that will strengthen Abe's position will be positive for the Nikkei and dollar/yen," said Beat Siegenthaler, currency strategist at UBS. "The yen has not been the focus of late, but this could embolden investors and have the potential to trigger weakness." Morgan Stanley said in a note that a break above 101.55 yen for dollar/yen could signal a return to the upward trend. The dollar also held on to broad gains as investors bet U.S. economic data would support plans by the Federal Reserve to move away from ultra-loose monetary policy soon. The dollar had been boosted by higher U.S. yields but doubts over when the Fed will start withdrawing stimulus has kept it clear of three-year highs struck on July 9. In Congressional testimony on Wednesday, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said the central bank still expected to start scaling back its bond purchase programme later this year, but left open the option of altering that plan if the economic outlook changed. The dollar index edged up 0.1 percent to 82.792, staying above a three-week low of 82.342 set on Wednesday. The euro was slightly lower at $1.3105, while sterling cut earlier losses to trade higher at $1.5216 after UK retail sales rose in June. "We are bullish dollar but we are getting mixed signals from the Fed," said Peter Kinsella, currency strategist at Commerzbank. "Fed tapering will be very data-dependant and if we get good jobs data next month, then we can expect stimulus withdrawal by September. Otherwise expectations of tapering will be pushed back to December. This uncertainty should keep it rangebound." Bernanke is seen likely to stick to Wednesday's themes when he testifies to the Senate Banking Committee later on Thursday.

Recently I had FS2002 rebuild the FS2002.cfg file (with great improvements in frame rates!) but now when I call the spot plane view I get the zooming from the tower and a delayed response to the hat switch control. I believe this is the MS default but before I made the .cfg build the spot plane view was with instantaneous response to the hat switch and without and zooming. Is there any way I can change back to this more precise control? - also it would be great if there was a control function to place the spot plane view directly behind and in line with the aircraft heading, guess this does not exist but if it does please let me know the secret - thanks.

An Inconvenient Truth
Submitted by nobody on Tue, 2006-06-06 17:39In case anyone didn't already know this, Al Gore's documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" opens this friday at the Landmark Uptown in Minneapolis. If anyone has seen this or is going to, share what you think...I will be out of town this weekend but plan on seeing it soon.
Wind Power and Wildlife
Submitted by Joseph1 on Tue, 2006-06-06 16:25The New York Times has an article today about a citizen activist in Maryland crusading against wind power in his region on account of its effects on birds, bats, and vistas. While I find this debate completely exasperating, I think that the wind power supporters mentioned in this article are not being completly truthful when they pit wind power against coal- in other words, it's either build wind turbines or coal plants. I'm still learning about how wind integrates in the grid, but unfortunately it doesn't seem that wind energy can replace baseload power sources for now at least. I think it can if you get very high wind penetration rate in a region and its geographically dispersed (so that there are always some turbines turning), but there may be some areas (such as the eastern US) where you will never get a high enough penetration rate to replace baseload plants. Comments?
Submitted by v on Tue, 2006-06-06 13:51Some good stuff in the new Grist mag:
- The FAA has apparently determined that wind farms in the Midwest should not be built until more research is done into how wind farms affect small plane radar... even though there are other wind turbines within range of radar systems that cause no problems. Wonder who took care of that bribe?
- Our favorite green company, WalMart, is pondering selling E85 at its gas stations; the ethanol industry is excited. Chevron is also looking into ethanol and biodiesel. There's also a good lil piece on the feasability of ethanol.
- For those of you planning a trip to wine country, do so soon - global warming could reduce the ideal climates for the finicky grapes by 80% by the end of the century.
- Apparently there is a company in San Francisco that makes solar-powered skateboards! Just kidding... the factory is solar-powered.
- Bush is planning to reduce energy efficiency programs by 16% so that the money will instead be directed towards future speculation into alternative energy sources. Sounds pretty brilliant to me - why invest in technologies or programs that will reduce our current need for energy when you can spend them instead on mesquite-powered cars??
- And lastly, the rankings for sustainable cities are in! Minneapolis took 10th - Portland, OR, was #1. Apparently transit ridership was a large part of the rankings...
Submitted by shadoweyes on Mon, 2006-06-05 00:10A friend of mine is a huge train buff and he sent me some information that I thought was interesting. This article starts with the total newbie in mind:
You didn't know locomotives had emissions regs? Neither did I. I assumed that the 207-ton iron gorilla of the wheeled world damn well did whatever it wished. But the new Tier II standards require substantial cuts in NOx and particulate matter, and GE, one of the world's major locomotive manufacturers, has designed a new engine to meet them handily. The engine has an air-to-air turbocharger intercooler that lowers induction-air temperature to only a few degrees above ambient, for cleaner emissions and more power. Not only is the new GEVO 12 four-stroke diesel 40 percent cleaner than its predecessor, it's three percent more fuel-efficient as well.
Apparently, each locomotive has multiple engines - which burn an average of 300,000 gallons of diesel a year.
A modern locomotive is a hybrid. The diesel doesn't drive the train; it cranks an alternator, which powers the six huge electric traction motors that actually turn the locomotive's wheels. Each motor is set transversely between a pair of drive wheels. On an Evolution the electric motors will put out a total of almost 60,000 pound-feet of torque at start-up—the equivalent of about 120 Ferrari Enzos—good for a zero-to-60 time, unloaded, of just shy of 45 seconds. Rather longer, though, if you're dragging a 17,000-trailing-ton coal train.
The article also explains how modern train drivers - yeah, they dropped the term "conductor" - stay awake on the job. Apparently, the most tedious part of driving a train is that they often have to stop at ungated road crossings to make sure no one is approaching - I can only imagine how much fuel this constant braking/acceleration cycle costs. The Associate of American Railroads (AAR) claims:
Friedman's Quick Fix
Submitted by shadoweyes on Sat, 2006-06-03 03:34I am somewhat disappointed with Friedman's "A Quick Fix for the Gas Addicts." I have long believed Tom's integrity is as good as anyone who gets to spread his views across this country.
But he just keeps convoluting (if it ain't a verb yet, it should be) the issue around fuel efficiency. We all know that only 20% of our oil imports come from the Middle East. We don't know how much of that goes to support terrorism, but I'm guessing it just isn't that much when compared to all the money Saudi Arabia makes off its oil sales to the U.S. If I didn't mess up, the EIA claims Saudi sold us 556,000,000 barrels of oil in 2005. We used about 7,500,000,000 barrels of oil in 2005. Saudi Arabia sold us 7% of the oil we used last year.
Okay, so oil is a world market. Great. So our consumption helps to determine world prices that marginally increases the amount of oil money going to fund terrorists. Not that much though.
The thing is that we have many reasons to increase fuel efficiency. Terrorism is not one of them! Even if you posit that we are at war purely to protect our future oil supplies, then the war is not about terrorism - and only fools thought Iraq was about terrorism.
Tom should know all of this.
Our military is in a war on terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan with an enemy who is fueled by our gasoline purchases. So we are financing both sides in the war on terror. And what are we doing about that?
This is so simplistic. Although terrorists may very well get a decent share of their money from oil revenues - my understanding is that their funding is far more sophisticated than that. Afterall, look at all the shit they financed when oil was at $15 a barrel. If they were so hooked into oil revenues, they must be positively giddy at $70 per barrel. And why was there so much hub-bub about all the money going to terrorism through Saudi charities?
Trash Talk
Submitted by srob on Fri, 2006-06-02 23:38I know I am not an official Energista, but I thought you guys might find this interesting. International Falls, MN might be the site of the nation's first plasma gasification waste disposal plant. This technology is cleaner than traditional incineration and can produce both energy and a solid glass like product that could be sold as tiles. Good times.
Funds for this adventure were included in this session's bonding bill, which Governor Pawlenty was kind enough to sign earlier today. According to the MPR story I heard, the project will received 2.5 of a required $30 million. There is clearly a capitol campaign to be held before this dream is a reality, but they are hoping that the state funding (up from an originally proposed $1 million) will help entice other donors. The program I listened to yesterday does not seem to be available on MPR's Web site just yet, but here are a couple of March article from MPR and the Duluth News Tribune that covers the basics.
Prairie Island "Incident"
Submitted by shadoweyes on Fri, 2006-06-02 18:13City Pages reported a quiet nuclear accident at Prairie Island which was apparently reported in the press.
While the City Pages article seems somewhat alarmist, it is curious that none of us heard of it. Or at least I didn't.
Dave Lochbaum, the director of the Nuclear Safety Project for the Union of Concerned Scientists, says U.S. power plant workers are exposed to radiation under similar circumstances every two or three years. In Lockbaum's view, the most noteworthy aspect of the Prairie Island event was the number of workers effected; by that standard, it was the most serious accident in about five years. "Bottom line," says Lochbaum, "this is not the first time that mistakes caused workers to face unplanned radiation exposures and it'll likely not be the last time."
Idle Wind Farms
Submitted by Joseph1 on Fri, 2006-06-02 15:14The Strib has an article today about wind energy that is being wasted because of lack of transmission capability. Xcel is the only utility mentioned in the report. Xcel issues "curtailment" payments to wind farm owners when they can't buy the electricity. These payments are passed on to the ratepayers.
The article should have mentioned the CapX study, a joint project by the major utilities in Minnesota to determine transmission needs through 2020. They accounted for the 10% wind by 2015 "required" by the REO in their scenarios.
Submitted by shadoweyes on Thu, 2006-06-01 15:34The Green for Good Blog has an interesting ethanol post that features this quote:
Ethanol's potential has been blocked by the oil companies, however. In the early 1920s, cars needed an additive to boost octane and eliminate engine knocking. With its high octane rating, ethanol was the perfect choice, but it would have displaced 10 percent of the gasoline, so the oil industry chose to add lead instead. By 1970, lead's harmfulness had caused it to be banned. Once again, the oil industry could have chosen ethanol. Instead, they reformulated their gas to include more benzene, toluene and xylene. By 1990, the government had to limit these because of their toxicity, and Congress required the oil companies to add 2 percent oxygen to their gas in big cities. This can be achieved by adding 6 percent ethanol. About 20 percent of gasoline now does contain ethanol, but for the remaining 80 percent, the oil companies chose MTBE, an oil-derived product that causes groundwater pollution when it leaks. Thanks to MTBE, communities from California to New England now have polluted groundwater.
Friedman again
Submitted by Joseph1 on Wed, 2006-05-31 18:59Thomas Friedman wrote a great piece in the NY Times today ripping General Motors for their promotion offering gas capped at $1.99 a gallon for one year in CA and FL on their biggest gas guzzlers, including Hummers and Suburbans. I love this statement: "the sooner this company gets taken over by Toyota, the better off our country will be. "

Ok, I've got a few things on my mind before I go to sleep tonite (it's 1:19 am). first of all. I see in many places the #if(n)def __SOMETHING_C__ and i also see #if (!)defined(__SOMETHING_C__) i was wondering if there is a real (codewise) difference or if the only difference is that one is a GNU C extension and the other isn't. b/c if this is true, i may as well keep it the way i've been doing it (#ifdef) another thing: I've finally completed the basics of my Spell Checker code. it requires Ispell and right now, i gotta get up early so i'm not gonna post it tonite. It only has the options (when a word not in the dictionary has been found) Replace (A)ll, (I)gnore, or E(x)it Spell-Checker. basically Ignore will continue, Exit will stop spell-checking no matter what. and replace will bring up a prompt like so Replace all 'to_replace' with what? _ and you enter something and it does a manual replace (which allows for 's to be replaced instead of using the replace function) currently i can only get the Replace All working b/c I can't think of a way to Replace JUST that word (considering you can spell-check only certain lines using a word counter (to point to the to_replace word) is kinda (IMO) out of the question). I could prolly hack something up but i need some sleep right now :-P umm. oh yeah. something else. I hacked DG's Code to pull out the do_pose function (class-based social) it's pretty interesting. I have 6 more class-based poses to add but right now i use a modulus to keep it in range :-P I've been planning to look through DG's code some more for some more "ideas" to port to Circle (C) or to my (C/C++) mud. anyway, i'm beginning to, or have been, babbling. So I'll leave you all to your ideas. Post some. Lemme know if you'd like to use the spell-checker. I may (if i get the Replace Only working) add in a (number of times spell-checker has been used) to see if it's really worth it. I know for a fact on my mud that at least 20 outta the 200 or less beta testers have used it. of course we only have like 30 come on often. shrug. l8r Akuma the Raging Coder -- lemme know what you think of the sig below +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | "Yea, though I code in the Valley of the Shadow of No | | Documentation, I will fear no task: for thy C Book is with me" | | "Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE, Just IMPROBABLE" | | "Easier Said Than Done, But Better Done Than Said..." | +----------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://democracy.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list-faq.html | +------------------------------------------------------------+

By Paul Woolverton Staff writer
Former U.S. Rep. Charlie Rose of Fayetteville died Monday afternoon at an Alabama hospital, his wife, Stacye Hefner, said Tuesday morning. He was 73.
Mr. Rose died after battling Parkinson's disease for the past year, Ms. Hefner said.
Mr. Rose, a Democrat, served in Congress for 12 terms, from January 1973 to December 1996, when he stepped down after choosing not to seek a 13th term. In that time, he became one of the more powerful lawmakers in Congress and a key supporter of Cape Fear region tobacco farmers.
Mr. Rose's influence was such that in 1988, the Cumberland County Board of Commissioners named the county's then-new, $6 million, 60,000-square-foot agricultural exposition center after him.
Charles Grandison Rose III grew up in Fayetteville, the son of lawyer Charles G. Rose Jr. and Frances Duckworth Rose.
He first ran for Congress in the 1970 Democratic primary against Alton Lennon, an entrenched, longtime incumbent, said George Breece, who served as Mr. Rose's campaign manager that year.
Mr. Rose got 43 percent of the vote, according to Congressional Quarterly.
"He really shocked the political establishment by running as strong a race as he did against Alton Lennon," Mr. Breece said. "And Charles just kept right on. Right after that primary, he just rolled up his sleeves and kept running like the election was next week."
Two years later, Mr. Lennon announced his retirement, and Mr. Rose won the seat after a fierce primary, Mr. Breece said.
Mr. Rose knew farming, particularly tobacco farming, was important to the southeast North Carolina 7th District. Anchored by the cities of Wilmington and Fayetteville, the land in between was rural, filled with conservative Southern Democrats.
He sought a seat on the House agricultural committee even before he took office, said Curtis Dowd, a longtime aide. "Everyone thought that would be next to impossible," he said.
But Mr. Rose was a savvy politician, said John Merritt, Mr. Rose's former congressional chief of staff.
In late 1972, when U.S. Rep. Tip O'Neill was seen as the front-runner to become the next House Majority leader, Mr. Rose paid him a visit, Mr. Merritt said.
Mr. Rose found Mr. O'Neill in his office, studying the photos of dozens of incoming freshman lawmakers so he could court their support when he saw them, Mr. Merritt said.
"He picked his picture up and handed it to Tip and said, 'I'm for you,' " Mr. Merritt said.
Mr. O'Neill, who won the majority leader post and later became the House speaker, rewarded Mr. Rose's loyalty, Mr. Merritt said.
Rose was known for such deal-making.
"Charlie was a master at building coalitions. A devout Democrat, he worked assiduously, often behind the scenes, with Republicans on matters of consequence in the national interest, particularly in the fields of agriculture and intelligence," said former U.S. Rep. John L. Napier of South Carolina, a Republican.
When tobacco farmers faced a crisis in the early 1980s with the federal tobacco price support system, Mr. Napier said, Mr. Rose assembled a bipartisan coalition to pass legislation to protect it and the farmers.
Rose built a similar coalition in 1994 to help the farmers through a similar crisis.
Mr. Rose also strove to modernize the House, Mr. Merritt said. He pushed for the use of computers to keep track of its records, and sought upgraded telephone systems and other technological amenities now taken for granted.
For four years, he was chairman of the Administration Committee, a powerful panel that oversaw the operations of the House.
Despite his successes, Mr. Rose was sometimes the subject of troubles.
Congressional Quarterly's biography of Mr. Rose says he was accused in the late 1980s of converting campaign money to his personal use and of failing to disclose campaign loans. He denied wrongdoing but settled the case with a fine in 1994.
Mr. Rose's congressional career reached a turning point in 1994.
First, the Republicans overturned the Democratic majority that Rose had enjoyed being a part of since he took office. Rose just barely won re-election.
Then in December, Mr. Rose sought to become House minority party leader and lost.
Republicans and fellow Democrats began lining up in 1995 to run against him. Mr. Rose decided not to run again.
"I knew that I could win, but I questioned whether or not winning was the prize that I really wanted - to come back here in the minority, to have the leadership in my party looking at me out of the corner of their eye because I challenged them," he said in December 1996.
Out of office, Mr. Rose and Ms. Hefner operated a consulting and lobbying firm, and he also led a company that developed ways to keep poisonous molds from growing in peanuts and corn.
Three years ago, Ms. Hefner said, the couple moved to Albertville, Ala., to be near Ms. Hefner's mother after Ms. Hefner's father, former U.S. Rep. Bill Hefner, died in 2009.
Mr. Rose was diagnosed about a year ago with Parkinson's disease, which attacks the central nervous system, Ms. Hefner said.
He fought it, she said, but over the weekend, Mr. Rose's breathing became erratic.
They went to the hospital, and he died at 3:44 p.m.
"He wasn't in any pain or anything. He was just worn out," Ms. Hefner said.
Mr. Rose's survivors include Ms. Hefner and four children.
A funeral is scheduled for 11 a.m. Friday at Albertville Memorial Chapel in Alabama. Ms. Hefner plans to hold another service for him later in Fayetteville, but details have not yet been determined.

TEAMS: Denver Broncos, New England Patriots, New York Giants, Green Bay Packers
The Broncos acquired four-time NFL MVP Peyton Manning in the offseason. They signed him to a five year, $98 million contract. They got rid of temporary franchise quarterback Tim Tebow. They basically put all of their chips on the table for Manning.
So when you look at things at face value, you'd think with potentially the greatest passer in the history of the NFL leading your offense out of the huddle, as Broncos personnel, you'd have no problem with how Manning ran things in Indianapolis, right?
Elway begs to differ. In an interview with Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, Elway stressed the need for the Broncos to be a balanced offense, similar to how things were ran in Denver's most successful seasons – their back-to-back Super Bowl-winning seasons of '97 and '98.
"Yeah, no question. If that's one thing that I ever learned, having been through three Super Bowls where we didn't run the football very well. Then, once we did it and win Super Bowls, we h...
