The company has been hit hard by the moratorium on renewables projects in its home market of Spain, which still accounts for the lion's share of its portfolio, and the company has been vocal in its criticism of government policies that are endangering the profitability of existing wind and concentrating solar power assets.
The Spain situation and the higher cost of obtaining capital have hit the company's ability to keep expansion going at the same rate, while — in common with its peers — Acciona Energía's development arm has also Log in to read complete article.

It's not the CPU, it's ceramic capacitors that make the noise. You can actually buy special quiet capacitors.
That is basically a strawman argument. Snowden hasn't provided any proof that the US engages in industrial espionage to directly benefit it's industry.
They've already been caught with their fingers in the pie a few times now:
Why don't they just put a spit cup at toll booths?
Two words: Chewing tobacco.
A week ago, there was a Chinese ban on Bitcoin as a currency (not as a tradable asset) and BTC had its value halved from $1k to $500. Now, you're telling me there's a ban on Bitcoin in China and it has caused BTC's value to be halved from $1k to $500? Now that's what I call news!
It went back up again a bit after last week's dip (to about 975). That was all the idiots thinking they were going to make money after the Chinese thing caused a crash...
Now the cold hard truth has set in and it's gone down for a second time - and, yes, it's for the same reason.
Police will not enforce such laws. Animal control will not enforce those laws. Until the neighborhood comes to blows, nothing you say will make the slightest difference.
And yet...nobody is in jail, being fined, or even refunding all that money they were paid to develop it.
That only punishes the workers (and the taxpayer if they need another bailout because of it).
The people who really need punishing will happily watch you do that from their yachts.
But only if the government is involved, it is all the fault of of the government, right?
When the government uses force to take money from ordinary people "invests" it for them, losing $10 billion on the deal, then yes. It's their fault.
If the people whose jobs/future that were saved by that "investment" now have an excess of $28 billion in cash, they should give it back to the people who were forced to help them (with threats of jail, etc. if they didn't).
I'm long past tired of "investors" suing for their losses. You want to gamble with your money, you take the risk of losing it.
It wasn't their money to gamble with. It belonged to the taxpayers.
The people at GM should be glad they still have a company and jobs to go to. Saying "thankyou" to the taxpayer doesn't make any sense to you? It's not like they don't have the money (in cash) to do so.
Why should he? This wasn't a loan. They took stock just like any poor shlub who tried to make a buck on GM stock.
Who's "they"?
Did "they" buy shares voluntarily or were they forced to buy them by a government who was trying to save people's jobs?
This isn't personal. His job is to protect shareholder value. He indicated, in the interview, that if he paid back the $10B loss he would be opening GM up to lawsuits from every other shareholder who lost money in the bankruptcy.
a) Those 'other shareholders' bought the shares voluntarily. The taxpayer didn't.
b) Those 'other shareholders' should probably be grateful that their shares aren't valued at $0 right now. Thanks to the taxpayer.
It's sad that the law can't ever make an exception to do the decent thing without exposing itself to a bunch of assholes who're just trying to game the system.
The government did not issue a loan, they bought a large amount of stock.
a) Would they have purchased that stock if it hadn't been a "bailout"?
b) A "loan" would have left them with nothing if the company had tanked. A stock purchase would entitle them to some company assets to sell off, this is what most people call "security".
a) It's the right thing to do, the money he took belonged to the people.
b) It won't affect him, personally, on any level. His paycheck will be as big as ever.
I guess he just enjoys being a tyrant and saying "no" to people when they come to him with reasonable requests.
Yep. There's no *legal* requirement for him to pay back the money he took from the people that are keeping him in a life of luxury, so why should he? It's not as if his management was in any way linked to the shitty cars that weren't selling enough to keep the company going. Nope. Not a bit.
It's not just a (physical, building) security system, it's ANY system. Why on earth would you choose to base your product (something that presumably companies will use for many, many years) on something that will have no security support in just 4 months?
a) It's not connected to the Internet.
b) There's no idiot users surfing the web with it.
Overflow on /dev/null, please empty the bit bucket.

Right now, 12 million people in East Africa are at risk of starvation and 150,000 children under five are at imminent risk of dying.
The situation has been declared a famine by the United Nations, making it the first in two decades.
Dr. Hernando Garzón, who lives in Davis and works as an emergency room doctor at Kaiser Permanente in Sacramento, boarded a plane Tuesday bound for the region, where he will help implement a program to treat those suffering in Somalia, Kenya and possibly Ethiopia.
Garzón spoke to me during his layover in Minneapolis, saying that the African famine is the product of a complex situation involving not only a severe drought, but governments and rebels that hinder the development of an economy capable of providing food.
Garzón says that although the situation has not received as much attention as the earthquakes in Haiti or Japan or Hurricaine Katrina, it is a much larger disaster by scale.
"This event has been brewing for six months," he said. "But since it's a slow-onset kind of event, it doesn't get the same kind of attention."
He says that if you find it in your heart, you can donate to Relief International just as you would for any other disaster. Relief International is the organization with which Garzón works.
Davis Patch will feature an in-depth Q&A with Dr. Garzón Wednesday morning, so check back.

L, K Pod / Stuart Island
(making up for lost posts :D)
What can I say except that today was incredible. I overheard a woman onboard say "this is the best moment of my life" and well I can't say I blame her. Multiple breaches, cartwheels, tail slapping, milling, resting lines, speed porpoising. All of Lpod and Kpod were present. When we left them they were turning around and heading south. It's been 2.5 weeks since my last voyage and what a way to return.

K Pod
Today 5 Star's morning trip headed north to Port Refrew area (Sooke) to see Lpod. Apparently they saw some great hunting action going on out there (I was not on the morning trip). During the afternoon trip, we headed over towards Lopez & San Juan Island as J's and K's were in the area. When we arrived, the animals were spread out into small groups. We had a wonderful eyefull as some of K pod swam past our bow. In that group we saw Leah (K14) and a calf (?) with Lobo (K26) - who rolled over on his left side and extended his pec befor splashing down and continuing on his way. Just further on he threw a few tail lobs and then he was gone. On the way home, we stopped in to look at a bald eagle who was perched on a log on Trial Island. So glad to be back out on the water. Has been about a week for me (due to cold).

Jpod / San Juan Island south
We found part of J pod traveling in small tight groups south of san juan island. caught some tail slaps, breaches and speed porpoising. Also saw that the Cascadia team is out collecting fish samples from the orcas to learn more about their diets.
On the way home we got word of 1 and more humpbacks not far off of the breakwater in Victoria so stopped in for a few minutes to check them out.

L 12's San Juan
Today we saw the L sub pod - L12's. Several breaches, spyhops, milling, a few flukes out of the water. A tight group swam close to the San Juan shoreline showing us a few spyhops along the way.
On the way home we were pleasantly surprized to find a lone orca milling and swam right under our bow! It was awewsome to see the L's home!
J K L pods together again
It's official! All 3 pods are home! I'd missed the first superpod yesterday as it was quite rough out. Should get some snapshots soon though of this grand spectacle I've been waiting 3 years for!

Lilly first spotted this print in a piece of wallpaper at the Red House, once described as 'the beautifullest place on earth'. It's a classic of the Arts & Crafts movement, the influential group of designers and writers who were against mass-produced products embraced traditional, hand-made craftsmanship - values we heartily share. When Lilly discovered this optimistic design comes in fabric as well as wallpaper, she set about making 'the beautifullest dog lead on earth'. .
We cut and pin the fabric for this dog lead by hand in our studio in Hoxton. It's finished by a traditional British belt-maker using sturdy metal buckles and genuine saddlery fittings. The finished dog lead feels substantial and well-made and lasts for years.
When your dog lead needs a clean just handwash or give it a wipe over with a damp cloth, and it comes up looking like new.
The Swanfield Dog Lead is approximately 1 metre long and is available in a slim width for small dogs or regular width for medium to large dogs. Please take a look at the size guide to choose the best width for your dog.
It does look good when your dog has a collar to match. Swanfield dog collars come in a variety of sizes. For a bit of fun grab the matching bandana for your pampered pooch. The Swanfield collection also comes with a matching squeaky toy and toy bag, keeping your pet entertained as well as in style.
The Swanfield collection, like all our designer petwear, is exclusive to LoveMyDog and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Since we've done a little guerrilla action ourselves, we should understand the utility of that.
If you're referring to the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, there was no Geneva Convention in place to protect them. However, even then, the wearing of a uniform in combat afforded the captured protections that were not afforded to non-uniformed combatants. Those engaging in combat operations do so recognizing that, while it does give them an advantage in urban combat, it also strips them of protection should they be captured. It's a trade-off some see as worthwhile, most do not.
You have to admit that our troops are at a distinct disadvantage militarily by virtue of their attire, and the fact that our vehicles have distinctive markings and colour to help them to be indentified, both by their fellows and by the enemy. Why not send them into battle dressed like the local population and driving unmarked cars, trucks, and vans?

As evident in the second installment of BEFORE WATCHMEN: OZYMANDIAS, Len Wein's writing works so well for Ozymandias, the paradoxical conquer of worlds and the self-righteous, self-appointed savior of the world of Watchmen. The descent into an abyss of darkness has logically progressed from the first to second issue in this series.
More so than in the original text, Ozymandias resonates. He shines and feels more real than he ever has. Again, much has to do with the way Wein adds new layers to Ozymandias.
Wein captures the essence of an educated gentleman who has sharpened his mind, body and spirit to the apex of human perfect. Through eloquently written captions, Wein captures the true voice of Ozymandias.
Artist Jae Lee's work is a treasure to behold. He captures supposed perfection in the form of Ozymandias and subtly shows us that Ozymandias is askew as is the world he inhabits. Beautifully executed page layouts push the versatile, visual storytelling echoes that of the best of action films as well as art house films. Simply put, Lee is a master at what he does.
The final scene in this issue will leave the wanting more. Finding its roots in the openning scene of the Alan Moore's WATCHMEN, the reader will enjoy the implications and foreshadowing of future events.
BEFORE WATCHMEN: OZYMANDIAS is a deeply personal story of one man's internal journey to self-fulfilling enlightenment. Yet, as Ozymandias seems destined to discover, failure is a part of human nature and that there is a reason bad things usually happen in and to the dark.

Engineering 5 anchors east side of campus
The university's newest building, Engineering 5, has a "wow factor", to borrow a phrase from Sue Gooding, who's been playing a key role as details are finished, departments move in and preparations are made for today's official opening.
The opening ceremony (by invitation) starts at 10:30. Tours of the building will follow, touching everywhere from the student workshop at ground level to the "Live Link" broadband and conference room on the third floor and the systems design student "computer commons" at sixth-floor level with its view of the Research In Motion complex.
I got a preview tour one afternoon last week, and to feel the wow, I was urged to start at just the right spot. Use the front door, Gooding said, the big door that faces the east side of the main campus at the head of an impressive flight of steps. (I took the adjacent ramp, actually.)
E5 is the first permanent building on what will become the "east campus", lying between the railway tracks and Phillip Street. Engineering 6 is already under construction there, Engineering 7 is more than just a gleam in somebody's eye, and the existing East Campus Hall, a former industrial building, will some day be the site for further academic development. But right now E5, with a soaring overhead link to the long-established Engineering 3 (left), is the centre of attention.
Before going inside I paused, on a bright autumn afternoon, and gazed around at campus fall colours, the glass of the Davis Centre and the CEIT building, the ring road traffic and the railway that separates the main campus from the new building. The rarely used tracks will be transformed over the next few years, Gooding reminded me: if municipal plans go ahead, that zone at the foot of the ziggurat-like steps will be a rapid transit corridor, with a main pedestrian entrance to the campus just yards away.
I was surprised to feel so high up, though I hadn't quite found the "wow factor" yet. The view was peaceful, with only a few people entering or leaving the building. Things will be busier in the winter term, I was told, when classes are scheduled there for the first time (especially, but not only, by the department of systems design engineering, which occupies the top level of the six-storey building).
Then Gooding, who serves as operations manager for the faculty of engineering, led me inside. We found ourselves on the second floor, at the foot of a spectacular central staircase (its most visible feature is a ripple of purple neon light) and beside a glass wall that gives a view down to the Student Design Centre on the lower level.
This was the wow factor, for sure, this spacious area two storeys high. Its 20,000 square feet will provide a home for the Midnight Sun solar car, the Formula SAE vehicle, the Mini-Baja, the Clean Snowmobile, the flying critters produced by the Waterloo Aerial Robotics Group, and many other engineering projects. Some of the vehicles are in place already, along with the tools and models belonging to the student groups working on them; others are being moved in. It's a spectacular change (below) from the hallways and broom closets where previous vehicles have been designed and built.
Dean thanks donors as building opens
Getting the first occupants into E5 has been "a very slow move", says Gooding, who noted that the original hope had been occupancy early in 2010. Late last week, as faculty members and graduate students settled into their offices, there were still things missing here and there — numbers on most of the doors, for instance — and a networking crew was installing wiring in the 93-seat "engineering computing commons" on the second floor.
The building is calculated at 176,000 square feet of space, which makes it the largest engineering building, just a little bigger than the CEIT. But existing overcrowding means that there won't be large swaths of space left empty by the people who move into E5, Gooding assured me. "A cubbyhole here and a cubbyhole there" is more like it, she said.
Two departments — mechanical and mechatronics engineering, and systems design — are moving their administrative offices into E5 (on the third and sixth floors, respectively). A third department, electrical and computer engineering, will take over the fourth and fifth floors for faculty and grads, but its administrative offices will stay across the road in CEIT.
As we toured the building, I kept glancing out windows and being reminded of where E5 is located: steps away from the University Plaza restaurants, and oriented as much to Phillip Street as to the familiar main (or "south") campus. The time will come, Gooding told me, when a third-floor corridor, linking to the ring road overpass, will lead into another overhead route that will connect to the still unbuilt E7.
"This office has the best view of all," she said confidently as we stopped at the southwest corner of the sixth floor and interrupted Paul Fieguth, chair of the systems design department. She wasn't wrong: in the autumn sunshine we looked out far above both the main campus and the multicoloured trees of Waterloo Park. I felt that wow factor again.
Other features of the building include the "courtyard" where design teams can work on their vehicles outdoors when that seems good to them; more powerful welding equipment than users of the student shops have previously had access to; and of course the overpass, which was still being used last week to store building supplies and junk, but which is expected to see heavy foot traffic in winter weather.
A block entirely walled off from the rest of E5 will provide a protective shell for an "anechoic chamber" in which wireless technology researchers can do sophisticated testing. Part of the roof is "green", that is, covered with vegetation. A laser-created donor recognition wall is being installed. The elevators talk. (Michael Davenport's blog has a couple of dozen good photos of the building this morning.)
Engineering 5 was designed by the Toronto firm of Shore Tilbe Perkins+Will, with a total budget of $55 million — much of it provided by donors to engineering's Vision 2010 fund-raising campaign. "I'm extremely proud of the work that faculty, staff and external contractors have put into building Engineering 5," says engineering dean Adel Sedra, "and I am most grateful for the support received from our many volunteers and donors."
Online job system working this week
The university's new electronic "recruitment and job search system" will be shown off in a series of demonstrations that start this morning — or, if they prefer, staff can explore it from home or office through an online tour.
The new system is part of myHRinfo, which most employees have been using for several years to check salary and benefits information, and is called myCareer@UWaterloo. It will be available for all union and non-union staff to use starting tomorrow, according to the human resources department.
A memo notes that "myCareer@UWaterloo is a key part of the University's commitment to support all employees to manage and develop rewarding careers at UWaterloo. myCareer@ UWaterloo puts the tools you need to search and apply for job opportunities directly in your hands.
"You will be able to apply for available positions, create a personal profile and view your applications. Our goal is to make the job application process more efficient and transparent. The system is completely confidential. Access to the system is password protected and only accessible to an individual user."
Says the memo: "myCareer@UWaterloo is an important tool to support staff to manage and develop their careers at the University. It is part of a growing suite of career management services at UWaterloo that also includes training and development opportunities through Organizational and Human Development and the Centre for Career Action."
The online tour went live yesterday on what will be the web site for the new system, mycareer.uwaterloo.ca. "You'll find instruction on pop-up menus and online videos to help guide you," HR notes.
Live demonstrations are scheduled for today at 10:30 a.m., Wednesday at 10 p.m., and Friday at 10:30 a.m., all in Davis Centre room 1304. Registration for those sessions is also through myHRinfo. "If you have questions," the memo concludes, "email Human Resources at hrhelp@ uwaterloo.ca."

This week, our Authors After dark feature focuses on Cat Grant.
Name: Cat Grant
Website: www.catgrant.com
Email: email@example.com
Most recently published work.
I've been pretty busy this year! Co-wrote a two part 185K kinkapalooza (Power Play: Resistance and Power Play: Awakening) with my editor/BFF/favorite pain in my ass Rachel Haimowitz, published a novella (Priceless) in May, & I've got another one (Doubtless) scheduled for June.
Geez, I think I need a nap!
Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I'm a California girl, born and raised. I've lived all over the state, but now I'm happily settled in beautiful Monterey, where I share an apartment with one cat and way too many books and DVDs.
Describe your writing style using just one sentence.
Emotional, intense, dramatic, sexy!
Complete this sentence: I write m/m romance because…
I enjoy its dynamics and complexities. I like getting under the skin of my male characters and exploring what drives them. I love finding my characters' vulnerabilities. A vulnerable man is a very sexy man, IMHO.
Do you prefer to see your work in electronic, print or both forms? Why?
Of course, there's no greater thrill than holding an honest to God paper copy of one's book, but I'm happy to be published electronically as well. It's an amazing feeling, knowing people all around the world can buy my work with a click of their mouses . . .er, mice?
I'd recommend The First Real Thing, published by Ellora's Cave. It's the first book in my Icon Men trilogy, and also my very first award winner – it won the EPIC Award for Erotica this past March.
Plus, my rent boy hero Cameron is just plain HAWWWT and adorable. I love him to bits.
Here's where you can find Cat's books:
You can buy all my Riptide titles here.
Or if you'd prefer Amazon.
Or Nook.
Tell us about your upcoming work.
I have a new novella, Doubtless, coming out the middle of July. (You can pre order it here.)
I'm currently working on a Christmas story featuring my heroes Connor & Wes from Priceless, then I'll be writing another novella focusing on Connor's best friend & business partner, Steve.
Hoping to spend most of this fall and winter retooling my now OOP Courtland Chronicles series for a new and improved reprint by Riptide.
Why are you attending Authors After Dark 2012? Why should your readers attend?
Honestly, the fact that it's in New Orleans was a huge draw for me. I went there for the first time last year, and I fell in love. The French Quarter is a huge, non-stop party and every bar there is a gay bar. I hope everybody who shows up has as good of a time as I plan to!
A personal note from Cat to her readers.
I'd like to say thank you to everyone who's followed me on this journey for the past four years. It hasn't always been easy (a writer's bank account is never full, unless you're JK Rowling!), but even on those tearing-my-hair-out days, there's no other job I'd rather have. Thanks for letting me tell you my stories.

And futhermore, because these comments really bother me.
I thought with age came wisdom and maturity but I guess not. I am only 22 years old and even I know better to get on here and infect pages like these with such nasty comments. I guess it's not age that brings maturity, but rather the type of person you are. Has the world really gone to hell so much that you can't just get on here and say a simple sorry? If you are looking for a debate, join a political club, don't do it on a website page about some poor man dying. This could be your child, your parents, nieces and nephews, etc. So to the 'older' people, grow up and find your maturity and morals, which aren't on this page.
And to the Courier Press, maybe you should just take the comment option off because it seems to do more harm than good. I can't believe the our town's paper could be so unsophisticated and tacky.
I agree with you, sara42420, maybe the C&P should take this section off. Really, what good does this do anyway? Give a troubled person their jollies for the moment that they got to say ugly things in anonymity? Most of the things discussed here aren't political anyway.
For 22, you seem to have the maturity that comes with age and wisdom....and obviously good manners and upbringing...which is apparently lacking in some.

John Anthony Volpe (/ˈvoʊlpi/; December 8, 1908 – November 11, 1994) was the 61st and 63rd Governor of Massachusetts and a U.S. Secretary of Transportation.
Early life and education[edit]
Volpe was born in 1908 in Wakefield, Massachusetts.[1] He was the son of Italian immigrants Vito and Filomena (Benedetto), who had come from Abruzzo to Boston's North End in 1905; his father was in the construction business. On June 18, 1934, Volpe married Jennie Benedetto, with whom he had two children, John, Jr. and Jean (m. Rotondi).
Volpe attended the Wentworth Institute (later known as the Wentworth Institute of Technology) in Boston where he majored in architectural construction and entered the construction business, building his own firm in 1930.[2]
During World War II, he volunteered to serve stateside as a United States Navy Seabees training officer.
Early career[edit]
In 1953, he was appointed as the Massachusetts Commissioner of Public Works, and in 1956 he was appointed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower as the first administrator of the Federal Highway Administration.
Governor of Massachusetts[edit]
He was elected Governor of Massachusetts in 1960, and served from 1961 to 1963, before narrowly losing reelection in 1962 to Endicott Peabody. In 1964, he ran for Governor again and won, and was re-elected in 1966 for the first four-year term in Massachusetts history.
During his administration, Governor Volpe signed legislation to ban racial imbalances in education, reorganized the state's Board of Education, liberalized birth control laws, and increased public housing for low-income families. Governor Volpe also raised revenues by his long, and ultimately successful, fight to institute a three percent state sales tax. He served as President of the National Governors Association from 1967 to 1968.
Presidential campaign[edit]
In 1968, Governor Volpe ran unsuccessfully as a "Favorite son" candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. He was defeated in the state presidential primary by a spontaneous write-in campaign for New York Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller. It was widely believed that he was hoping to be chosen as his party's candidate for Vice President.
Secretary of Transportation[edit]
Following the election of Richard M. Nixon, Volpe was named Secretary of Transportation. He resigned as Governor to assume the cabinet post, and served in that position from 1969 to 1973. During his administration as Secretary of Transportation, Amtrak was created.
In 1973, Volpe was nominated by President Nixon and confirmed by the United States Senate as United States Ambassador to Italy, a position he held until 1977.
Death and legacy[edit]
Governor Volpe died in 1994, and is buried in Forest Glade Cemetery in Wakefield, Massachusetts.[3]
The John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center in Cambridge was named in his memory, as well as the Governor John A. Volpe Library at Wakefield High School in Wakefield.
The papers of John A. Volpe are in the Archives and Special Collections of the Northeastern University Libraries, in Boston.[4]

Talk story about rap singer Hammer & his bankruptcy woes... The list of famous singers who have ended up in the debtors' court--Marvin Gaye, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Wayne Newton, among others--is a long and not entirely dishonorable one. Still, the latest addition to the roll call--Stanley Kirk Burrell, a.k.a. Hammer--is one of the most surprising... It has only been 6 years since "Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em" sold as man as 18 million copies and spent 21 weeks at the top of the "Billboard" charts.... According to "Forbes" he earned $33 million in 1990 and 1991. It seems safe to assume that over the past 6 years his total income has been more than $50 million. If Hammer had invested this money conservatively, he could now enjoy an annual income of between $3 and $5 million for the rest of his life. Instead, he spent at least $9 million, and borrowed another $2.1 million, to convert a nondescript hill in an Oakland suburb into his personal Valhalla... The property is now on the market for $7.2 million... His Bust It Productions music company failed to unearth a single successful act... According to his bankruptcy filing, Hammer's debts total $13.7 million, compared with assets worth $9.6 million, but even these figures are probably optimistic. If he is forced to liquidate his property, Hammer would be lucky to raise enough money to satisfy half his debts.... Earlier this year, he signed a new contract with Death Row Records.. Judging by a recent magazine photograph, in which Hammer appeared sporting a black ski cap, dark glasses, and a goatee, the man who was once decried as a "candy rapper" is now trying to get with Death Row's gangsta vibe. Not everyone in the music industry blames Hammer for his financial problems. "In this business, you have these overnight success stories, but they tend to go down very quickly," one business associate owed money by Hammer said. "They think it will always be as good as it is now. They don't sock money away and invest it. Instead, they tend to spend it, which certainly seems appropriate at the time but may not seem so later."

Gay marriage: For and against same-sex partnerships
Page last updated at 11:00 GMT, Tuesday, 5 February 2013
- E-mail this to a friend [an error occurred while processing this directive]
Three of the most senior government ministers have called on MPs to back gay marriage in England and Wales.
In a letter to a newspaper, Chancellor George Osborne, Foreign Secretary William Hague and Home Secretary Theresa May said it was "the right thing to do".
The government is expected to win the vote on Tuesday night but it could be embarrassing for the prime minister with more than 100 of his Conservative MPs expected to go against the plan.
There are already plans for a bill to allow same-sex marriage in Scotland but there are no plans for similar legislation in Northern Ireland.
Newsbeat interviewed two people who have opposite views on the issue.
Against gay marriage - Shan Bendall, 20
"The Bible clearly defines marriage is between a man and a woman.
"Society, I feel, has drifted away and changed from God's word in the bible.
Shan BendallIf you still have homosexual feelings, as long as you don't act on them there's still life out there. You can still have a happy heterosexual marriage even if you have had homosexual feelings before
"Marriage is something that should be done in the presence of God. When it's not, it's heartbreaking.
"I believe a civil partnership is more appropriate although, going back to what I believe, I feel that being gay and acting on those feelings is wrong.
"There's definitely help for people out there who do have homosexual feelings. If they repent their sins, God will still love them. There's ways of dealing with it.
"If you still have homosexual feelings, as long as you don't act on them there's still life out there.
"You can still have a happy heterosexual marriage even if you have had homosexual feelings before."
For gay marriage - Hefin Jones, 21
"I believe very strongly in religious freedom but certainly not that religion should be able to dictate other people's freedoms.
"It is a human right that people should be able to love freely. They should therefore be able to marry freely and for those marriages to be recognised.
Hefin JonesI would like to get married because it recognises the love that two people have for each other. Not only that, but there's also the legal side
"Two men or two women having adult, consenting, loving relationships, there's nothing wrong with that.
"I got engaged last week with the intention of having a civil marriage.
"I would like to get married because it recognises the love that two people have for each other. That's the emotional side.
"Not only that, but there's also the legal side.
"[Homosexuality] is not a disease. It's not some kind of mental illness. It's not something actually you can readily change."

Wayne Koontz, left, and Mike Wilhelm, standing at right, both officers from Carroll County Community College, role-play a scene between an officer, played by Koontz, and a suicidal student, played by Wilhelm. Police from 9 Maryland college campuses participated in a training session held at Towson University to recognize mental illness and to be able to handle situations where this is a factor. (Amy Davis, Baltimore Sun / August 19, 2013) |
I have to admit, I'm a little nervous as the rep from Janssen Pharmaceuticals steers me toward the Mindstorm "psychosis simulation" machine.
She says I should experience both available videos to get a better sense of what a severe schizophrenic hallucination feels like, then plops me down in front of a silver suitcase.
It doesn't look like much: a laptop, a pair of headphones and a hand-held video viewer. The Mindstorm machine is here, at Towson University, so the campus police from nine state schools taking a day-long course in mental-illness recognition can feel it first-hand, albeit virtually.
Mental illnesses usually show themselves for the first time between the ages of 16 and 24, according to the National Association of Mental Illness, which means campus personnel, including police, need to be prepared to recognize and react to them.
The rep asks if I'm ready, then selects the first simulation.
A video begins to play. It's shot from the point of view of the watcher -- me -- so I'm the protagonist. I get on a bus and say I'm headed to a pharmacy. Apparently, I'm out of meds. The driver is chatty as I move to my seat, surveying the other riders, mostly adults keeping to themselves.
But as we move forward, the players change. I look behind me, and there are kids all singing "99 Bottles of Pills on the Wall." A nosy nurse appears, people address me as "your highness," and the bus driver chastises me under his breath.
"What kind of a person" loses her medication?" he sneers.
The turns become sharper, the riders swap out again, and voices tell me I'm being taken to the FBI. A motorcyclist shouts at me from outside the bus, and a street sign reads "What's wrong with you?"
This goes on for about six minutes. I try to imagine what it would be like to answer questions from police while this is going on, and what police would make of me.
The second video is set in a home. I'm moving about the house, starting my day when the voices start. I'm "worthless," they say, a "waste of space." A TV newscaster tells me to "stop staring" and a newspaper headline screams "Don't leave the house."
The coffee smells funny. It's poisoned, the voices say. The doorbell rings, and a man delivers a pizza. I sign for it, then sweep it off a counter to the ground.
A woman comes home, all out of breath, talking about how she called and I didn't say anything. She ordered pizza she says, then sees it on the floor. She turns soft. I forgot my dose of medication, she says, and picks up the bottle.
Now I wonder what it would be like to be married to me. To try to teach me in class or befriend me or just to be me.
That's the point, the Janssen rep says.

just wondering if anybody else has lost any mucus plug. i already talked with my midwife and she said it's not unusual for a 2nd baby...she didn't seem concerned. and i had been trying to decide if i'd been having a very light cramping or just a tired uterus....and she said that was pretty normal too since it's growing so much.
anyways, of course i am a little concerned...but i am feeling the baby move which i find very reassuring. and just before i lost some mucus plug i was in the bath talking to the babe--and so feel ok...but like i said a little concerned. anyways--just wanted to check in with you other mamas...particularly those with 1 babe or more already.

STELLA is a unique three-man comedy group. Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and David Wain have been writing, producing, and performing comedy together and apart for sixteen years. They met at New York University in 1988, where they helped create the sketch comedy troupe THE STATE which went on to a successful television run on MTV. The Black/Showalter/Wain co-venture STELLA began in 1997 as a weekly nightclub comedy show that quickly became New York's premier showcase for alternative and mainstream comedy. Running for seven years at Fez in New York's Greenwich Village, the trio hosted such regular guests as Janeane Garofalo, Ben Stiller, David Cross and the Upright Citizens Brigade. In addition to a series on Comedy Central, they produced a series of short films, available below...

We can not translate quantum behaviour arising with superposition states or entanglement efficiently into the classical language of conventional computers[1]. A universal quantum computer could describe and help to understand complex quantum systems. But it is envisioned to become functional only within the next decade(s). A shortcut was proposed via simulating the quantum behaviour of interest in another quantum system, where all relevant parameters and interactions can be controlled and observables of interest detected sufficiently well[1]. Instead of translating quantum dynamics into an algorithm of stroboscopic quantum gate operations to run them on a universal quantum computer, we want to continuously control and manipulate the spins, equivalent to the way nature evolves the system of our interest.
Already a comparably small amount of simulation-spins, of the order of 30-50, are supposed to be sufficient to outperform classical computers[2]. In addition, the fidelities of the proposed operations are predicted to be sufficiently high in state of the art experiments and do not have to be performed within very demanding fault tolerant limits for universal quantum computation[3].
Our system comprises magnesium ions, confined in a linear Paul trap[4]. It can simulate Quantum spin Hamiltonians, describing many solid-state systems like magnets, high-Tc superconductors, quantum Hall ferromagnets, ferroelectrics, etcetera. For our feasibility study we aim for the simulation of the Quantum Ising Hamiltonian realizing the proposal of Porras and Cirac[3].
Two electronic levels of each ion span a two-level system that can be interpreted (simulates) a spin ½ particle. Those are very well isolated from external disturbances. To provide controlled interaction with and between the simulated spins we apply rf- and laser-fields respectively.
For the first time we are able to trap an ion in an optical dipole trap. This opens up new perspectives for quantum simulations, combined atom-ion systems and ultracold collision experiments.
We are able to cool up to five ions close to the radial ground state of motion.
To pave the way towards larger scale simulations, we have to use the radial modes of motion to transfer/simulate interactions. We implement a (radial) geometric phase gate and prepare an entangled Bell state of two ions with a fidelity exceeding 95%.
We implement the proof of principle for the quantum walk of one ion in our linear ion trap[9,10]. With a single-step fidelity exceeding 0.99, we perform three steps of an asymmetric walk on the line. We clearly reveal the differences to its classical counterpart (random walk) if we allow the walker/ion to take all classical paths simultaneously. Quantum interferences enforce asymmetric, non-classical distributions in the highly entangled degrees of freedom (of coin and position states). We theoretically study and experimentally observe the limitation in the number of steps of our approach, that is imposed by motional squeezing. We propose an altered protocol based on methods of impulsive steps to overcome these restrictions, in principal allowing to scale the quantum walk to several hundreds of steps.
We experimentally simulate the adiabatic evolution of the smallest non-trivial spin system from the paramagnetic into the (anti-) ferromagnetic order with a quantum magnetisation for two spins of 98%[8]. We prove that the observed transition is not driven by thermal-fluctuations but of quantum mechanical origin, the source of quantum-fluctuations in quantum phase transitions. We observe a final superposition state of the two degenerate spin configurations for the ferromagnetic (+) and the anti-ferromagnetic (+) order, respectively. These correspond to deterministically entangled states achieved with a fidelity up to 88%. Our work demonstrates the building blocks for simulating quantum spin-Hamiltonians with trapped ions.
To calibrate our operational fidelities, we implement a (axial) geometric phase gate[6] and prepare an entangled Bell state of two ions with a fidelity exceeding 95%[7].
We will explore the limits of our one dimensional approach by investigating the dynamics for an increased amount of spins, simulating larger spins and altering the duration of the simulation.
Our experimental setup provides us with the necessary tools to approach a set of additional simulation problems we will try to access, like the strong correlation between Bosons[11], the quantum-walk of entangled ions[12], the particle production in our early universe[13,14] or relativistic effects described by the Dirac equation[15].
Based on new ion-trap technology it seems to become feasible to scale the ion simulator to a larger amount of spins and into two dimensions in surface trap arrays. Here we could investigate quantum simulations on two dimensional spin-grids, e.g. spin-frustration.
Experts in the field allow us to hope, starting from arrays spanned by 10x10 ions, to provide new insight into quantum dynamics. We aim to observe effects that represent Quantum-Phase Transitions for many-particle systems.
The possibility to control all the parameters of the system individually by switching laser beams and/or trap voltages and to address each single spin on each single lattice site turn it into a versatile system offering tools for analysis overcoming the access in experiments on solid-state systems.
In January 2006 we had trapped our first ions and Doppler cooled them via our two times frequency doubled fibre-laser system[5]. Subsequently, we setup two additional fibre laser systems for coherent control of +Mg25 spins and realized the detection of the ions with a spatial resolution < 1m.We set up a real time coherent experimental control and data acquisition. In December 2006 we achieved state-sensitive detection (fidelity > 99%), coherent transitions in +Mg25 (fidelity > 99%) and motional ground state cooling of the axial motion (

Each week, Miss Manners answers questions exclusively from the MSN audience on all of your etiquette dilemmas. (Have an issue you want help with? Send in aquestiontoday.) Read on for this week's hot topics:
I am expecting my second child. My first child is almost 7 years old. My mother has informed me that it is tacky for me to expect a baby shower again for this second child. I am not sure where she is getting this idea, as I am her second child and I have seen pictures of a baby shower she had for me.
I am certainly in need of baby-gifts as I have purged them and was not expecting to have another. My husband and I are delighted to be expecting again and our friends and family seem pleased also. Not sure if I should have another baby shower, what do you think?
Has anyone offered to give you a baby shower? You sound as if it is up to you to declare one because you need presents.
Your mother may have learned the rule late in life, but she is correct: Baby showers are properly given only for first babies. Miss Manners is soft-hearted enough not to condemn friends who are excited enough to insist on showering an experienced-but-expectant mother, but that is not for you --or your mother-- to decide.
My friend has a friend who owns a condo at the beach in N. Florida. She made plans to stay there in May and asked if I would like to join her. Once I accepted the invitation, she then went on to "price" the condo for the week with a large number and then expected me to pay all expenses equal to that amount! What would be the proper thing to do on both sides?
There is a great deal of confusion, nowadays, between real invitations and suggestions for cooperative ventures. Miss Manners gets mail both from those who presumed that they were invited to a restaurant meal, for example, and unpleasantly surprised with a bill, and from those who want to treat others but are afraid that their invitations are being declined because of the presumed expense.
Your friend should have asked whether you were interested in going in with her to rent a condo at the beach, and told you the price so that you could make a reasonable decision.
You still can, however. You need only say, "I'm so sorry-- I would have loved to go, but this is beyond me." No further explanation is necessary.
Judith Martin's latest book is No Vulgar Hotel: The Desire and Pursuit of Venice. She is also the author ofMiss Manners' Guide toExcruciatingly Correct Behavior(Freshly Updated). She and her husband, a scientist and playwright, live in Washington, D.C. Theyhavetwo perfect children, of course.
