The goal of quantum computing is to harness the peculiar behavior of particles at the quantum scale in order to perform calculations that aren't believed to be feasible with conventional computers. An ordinary computer stores "bits" of information in transistors, which, like switches, can be configured in one of two states, represented by "1" or "0." A quantum computer stores "qubits" of information in subatomic particles, such as electrons or photons, which can exist in state 1 or 0, or in a superposition of both states, and which can become entangled with one another, so that the state of one qubit decides the state of another.
Superposition and entanglement cause qubits to behave very differently from bits. Whereas a two-bit circuit in a conventional computer can be in only one of four possible states (0 and 0, 0 and 1, 1 and 0, or 1 and 1), a pair of qubits can be in a combination of all four. As the number of qubits in the circuit increases, the number of possible states, and thus the amount of information contained in the system, increases exponentially. A quantum computer with just a few hundred qubits would be able to solve certain problems more quickly than today's supercomputers.
The only problem is that no one has managed to construct a quantum circuit with more qubits than you can count on both hands. Chris Lirakis, a physicist in the superconducting quantum computation group at IBM Research, explained that in order to keep the delicate entanglement of a system of qubits from collapsing, the system must be isolated and cooled to a temperature near absolute zero. At the same time, the qubits must be spaced about a centimeter apart to prevent an operation performed on one qubit from altering the states of neighboring ones. This challenge would make a thousand-qubit system far too large to fit into the kinds of refrigerators that can achieve such extreme cooling.
"There are a lot of really serious engineering challenges that need to be brought to bear in order to make the system scalable," Lirakis said. "It's this tug-of-war between all these different issues."
Regev, who worked with Peikert in using quantum ideas to prove the security of lattice-based cryptosystems, says he hopes quantum computers will be built in his lifetime so he can see them in action. "But quantum has made such a great impact that even if quantum computers are never built, I wouldn't care too much," he said.
As quantum techniques become more popular among computer scientists, they will likely produce more classical results. "It's these results that convince me that even if the universe had not been quantum mechanical," Aaronson said, "eventually computer scientists would have invented quantum computing as a proof tool."

Bits: an RPG concept
Years ago I read a PC World article on a new Chinese RTS that had "a whole whopping 7 resources" to manage. Their comment on this was that while everyone else was moving steadily towards 1 or 2 resources, this developer had wholly embraced micromanagement of not only units, but resources.
What if in an RPG, you had only one resource? Instead of having XP, Gold/Creds/Coins, Level, Skill Points, and whatever else developers have up their sleeves, you had only one? Imagine this: you kill an opponent, you get 100 bits (this 1 resource for all thing makes hte most sense within the reality of software, so bits were logical). You can use the bits to buy equipment, improve skills, improve attributes, or really anything else. And on top of it, if you needed more bits to buy that +200 Viral Blade of the Nerd Rampage, you would be able to take bits out of your skills/attributes and use them to buy the blade. I have a whole framework worked out in my head, and I'll attempt to make it work here, on (digital) paper.
A character is defined as follows (still going with the software stuff):
- Attributes
- Speed
- Determines movement speed as well as cast time, attack time, etc.
- Size
- Determines visible size (ever seen an Agent in AO with Ruse of Taren, Phase 4? Or an en Enforcer with Essence of the Behemoth? yeah, like that), affects sneak ability, the number of programs (see below) that the character can learn at any one time (maybe), and of course other size-related things that I can't think of.
- Power
- Damage boosts, but also drains energy (see below) faster the higher this gets.
- Speed
- Skills
- Functions
- The building blocks of Programs. Yes, you are thinking correctly. The players can build custom Programs. Think Spellwriting a la Morrowind.
- … I can't think of anything else to go here. I feel like I'm missing something….
- Functions
- Loot!
- According to John Harris, RPGs are about the phat lewt. Yeah. Something as abstract as just bits wont work. I need loot. We have your standard weapons (maybe), armors (definately), social items (most definately), and function disks (think skill book from EVE Online).
The crowning jewel of this idea is the ability to immediately reallocate any and all bits by reselling loot you no longer need as well as lowering attributes and skills. And being able to quickly switch layouts, or allocations of your bits, weapon loadouts, etc, immediately while you are not in combat. As often as you want. For free. Forever. Period.
Of course this is a very rough sketch. Its primary purpose is to show how a system like this would work. Another option would be to allow a character to learn only a specific number of spells (programs) at a time (like Guild Wars, with its oh so annoyingly small hotbar), but also allowing the player to increase that amount by increasing their size (or maybe having a separate attribute).
Maybe after I finish working on Vault 113 I'll put together a test MUD.

Maine and Maryland recently joined seven other states that have ratified so-called same-sex marriages. As more states prepare to address this issue in 2013, our nation would be wise to revisit the definition of marriage and the consequences we face in altering that definition.
Virtually all faith traditions have understood marriage as a unique relationship between a man and a woman that expresses their very nature as completing and fulfilling one another. And once entered into, the marital relationship itself has been viewed by these faith traditions as both unitive and procreative. Unitive, in that a man and woman choose to join themselves in a permanent and mutually exclusive relationship of love, a love whose very physical expression is that of two becoming one flesh. And procreative, in that often the result of that union is children.
It is these aspects that make marriage more than a religious understanding or a private relationship between two consenting adults. Children promulgate the human race and they and the greater society benefit from the distinctive qualities that a mother and a father each provide their children. The greater society therefore has a role in protecting marriage.
If same-sex marriage is permitted, other definitions of marriage will quickly follow, including marriages of three or more people, marriages among family members and marriages among groups of people. Each of these definitions will demand all the benefits and recognitions that society has accorded traditional marriage. The result: Marriage as we know it will disappear as the foundation of family and society, as will the stabilizing and protective benefits it offers.
Supporters of so-called same-sex marriage refer to marriage as a human right. Marriage is not a human right; personal liberties are human rights. Same-sex couples certainly should insist on receiving all human rights, including the benefits and legal protections that all Americans merit. But their relationships do not fulfill the definition of true marriage, in spite of legislative or judicial rulings.
Traditional marriage is a unique relationship between a man and a woman with responsibilities and duties that are fundamental to a healthy society. Understood properly, marriage has an important role in safeguarding society and society an important role in safeguarding marriage.

New DLC map for Frontlines: Fuel of War. This is Boneyard, one of five new maps for this fine futuristic Battlefield-like game. So far only Boneyard has been made available for download on XBL Marketplace. The best part is that this map is being released FREE of charge. :) It seems like the remaining maps (as well as some other goodies being planned for release) will be released later as premium content. Since this content is being released free, no one should hesitate in downloading this content. Remember the Time Shift DLC map pack 2? It was released for free for 2 days and then later it was raised to an outrageous 800 MS Points. Just download it now and if anything, you can always just delete it if you need the space and you'll be able to re-download it forever in the future. :)

Gwent firefighters to strike today
9:37am Wednesday 25th September 2013 in News
Firefighters across Gwent are due to stage a walkout in a bitter row over pensions.
Members of the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) will walk out for across Wales and England for four hours from noon, in the first national stoppage for a decade.
The union is campaigning against changes it says will mean firefighters will have to work longer, pay more into their pensions and receive less in retirement. The move will also see firefighters having to work on frontline duties until they are 60, the union argued.
The Government maintained that the changes were fair and would still give firemen and women decent pensions when they retire.
Fire brigades have drawn up their own contingency plans to deal with the strike because military Green Goddess machines, which have been used as cover in previous disputes, are no longer available. They have been sold by the Ministry of Defence to countries including Malta.
Almost 80% of FBU members voted in favour of industrial action in a ballot that ended earlier this month, although union officials said they left the strike to the last possible moment to allow for the possibility of a negotiated settlement.
General secretary Matt Wrack said: "This initial strike is a warning shot to government. Firefighters could not be more serious about protecting public safety and ensuring fair pensions. Governments in Westminster and Cardiff have simply refused to see sense on these issues.
"It is ludicrous to expect firefighters to fight fires and rescue families in their late 50s: the lives of the general public and firefighters themselves will be endangered. None of us want a strike, but we cannot compromise on public and firefighter safety."

Though Wheel Fun Rentals bicycle stables are scattered from sea to shining sea across the North American continent, the seeds of the enterprise were sown in Italy. On vacation in the late '80s, founder Brian McInerney discovered the four-wheeled Surrey cycle, a pedal-powered vehicle capable of carrying as many as six passengers. Before returning to the States, he made sure to pick up a full set of Surreys from the manufacturer, and a new chapter in his life began. Today, the business rents not only bikes and Surreys, but also multiple cycle-style mutants such as the three-wheeled Deuce Coupe and its cousin the Chopper. They even carry more advanced land vehicles such as electric cars and scooters. Kayaks, one-person pontoons, and stand-up paddle boards also unlock access to some of the country's wettest byways.
The internationally acclaimed Big Air event makes its inaugural American appearance in Denver with two evenings of competition that pair a roster of global champs with a tremendous 300-foot-long jump. Tuesday, January 25 opens with the Nature Valley Big Air Challenge, pitting famed male freestyle skiers against one another to perform their best air-defying tricks while simultaneously slicing potatoes into miniature busts of Shaun White. Afterward, ski fans can cheer on the winners at the awards ceremony (8:15 p.m.), before being treated to a concert by Grammy-nominated rockers Switchfoot.
The Denver Brews Cruise takes beer nuts and newcomers through a circuit of local breweries to discover the process and passion behind beer making. The brew wagon picks up its drink disciples in front of the Pints Pub and immediately heads to the Breckenridge Brewery for an introductory course in how beer comes to be. There, curious quaffers will track the life cycle of a single beer from hops and malts to bottle of brown bliss while savoring samples of traditional microbrews. The expedition then follows a winding path highlighting Denver beer destinations before arriving at the Great Divide Brewing Company. As you and your fellow barley buffs learn about different types of beers, your taste buds and taste frenemies will be busy examining an eclectic selection of malted mixtures such as the Samurai Rice Ale or Chocolate Oak-Aged Yeti Imperial Stout. The path of pint glasses ends as it began at the Pints Pub, where you can quench your thirst for knowledge with cask-conditioned English ales served from hand-pumped draughts.

Inspired by The Amazing Race, CityScape Adventures—held across the United States—entangle race participants in webs of 12 puzzles and challenges in citywide races to the finish line. Participants compete in teams of two, using their wits, teamwork, and underground network of mutant-turtle spies to complete the tasks given at the start of the race. The 12 challenges take the form of puzzles, riddles, and clues that guide treasure hunters to a specific location within the city, where each team must complete a special task using only their cleverness and muscles. Players can also use the Internet, and the winning team is usually the one that best leverages its resources. The first team to successfully complete all tasks and vault over the finish line will receive a prize and assembly line of high-fives.
Denver Patio Ride's party bus moves through the River North arts district and downtown by way of pedaling—any willing pub-crawlers can power the party forward as the sober driver steers and brakes. After jump-starting at Billy's Gourmet Hot Dogs on Larimer and Broadway, the bus cruises at a low-key 5 miles per hour, stopping at a smorgasbord of bars, many of which pour $5 specials of one shot and one beer. Guides infuse jaunts with historical tidbits, trivia, and prizes, while the solar-powered sound system's iPod hookup allows pedalers to blast their personal collection of upbeat audio books. No weather other than rain or snow prevents tours, and the bus's capacious storage space accommodates any party accessory except beer, which is not allowed on the bus. Revelers can rent out the whole bus for large parties, or buy seats on a weekly schedule of public pub-crawls.
On a trip to Britain, Chelly Vitry was determined to stop at an authentic apple press. She was eager to sample Scrumpy—a British version of hard cider—and see how it was made. Despite days of searching, however, she couldn't find a press that would allow her visit. With Denver Gourmet Tours, Chelly guides small groups on the same kind of hands-on culinary experience she sought in Britain. During her excursions—which change seasonally—Chelly and her guests spend three hours strolling Denver's streets, meeting food specialists, and trying the food at four to six culinary hot spots such as food trucks, sweet shops, and craft breweries.
Along with her main tours, Chelly customizes culinary trips, designs gastronomic team-building activities, and hosts events such as progressive dinners and tasting parties. She also fills her guests with newfound culinary skills during hands-on cooking classes, where they learn to craft cupcakes, bake bread, or grow pizzas in their garden.

NHL and the players� union to sit at the table Friday
TORONTO � The NHL and its players� union are to resume bargaining Friday for the first time since the lockout began, although the talks will concentrate on secondary economic issues.
Deputy commissioner Bill Daly and NHL Players� Association special counsel Steve Fehr met Tuesday in Toronto and set up the session, which will be in New York. These will be the first formal negotiations since Sept. 12, when the players and owners exchanged proposals.
The lockout started Sept. 16, when training camps were set to open, and the entire slate of preseason games was the first casualty. This is the third lockout since Gary Bettman became commissioner in 1993. The last lockout wiped out the 2004-05 season and ended when players accepted a salary cap.
Seattle City Council approves new NBA/NHL arena deal
SEATTLE � A wealthy hedge-fund manager won approval Monday for his plan to bring professional men�s basketball and hockey back to Seattle, with initially skeptical City Council members agreeing to put up $200 million for a new arena after he promised to personally guarantee the city�s debt.
Council members voted 6-2 to approve Chris Hansen�s plan for a $490-million arena near the Seahawks and Mariners stadiums south of downtown.
College Football
Notre Dame opts out of its Michigan playing contract
ANN ARBOR, Mich. � Notre Dame is opting out of its series with Michigan, meaning the last scheduled game between college football�s winningest programs will take place in 2014.
The Fighting Irish recently decided to move to the Atlantic Coast Conference in every sport except football and hockey, though the football team will play five games a year against ACC opponents, starting no later than 2015.
The Irish beat the Wolverines 13-6 over the weekend in the latest game of a storied series that dates to 1887. They�ve played every year since 2002 and regularly since 1978 after not meeting from 1944-77 or 1910-41. Michigan and Notre Dame were scheduled to take a hiatus during the 2018-19 seasons.
The Wolverines have an NCAA-best .735 winning percentage in football, and the Irish (.732) are second. Michigan leads all-time series 23-16-1.
Rockies� Talking Stick fields to host World Classic games
SAN FRANCISCO � Japan will host first and second rounds of pool play at two sites in the 2013 World Baseball Classic, which is expanding from 16 to 28 teams with the winner being named world champion for the first time.
The WBC announced its venues and pools Tuesday outside the Giants� AT&T Park, which will host the semifinals and championship game in the event�s third run.
San Juan, Puerto Rico, will host games for the third time at Hiram Bithorn Stadium. Those games will be played March 7-10 featuring Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and a qualifier.

Nadal�s maligned knee injury might keep him from a major
LONDON � Rafael Nadal still has no timetable for his return from a knee injury, and the 11-time Grand Slam champion isn�t sure if he�ll play the Australian Open in January.
The Spaniard hasn�t played since losing in the second round of Wimbledon in June to little-known Lukas Rosol. Nadal is recovering from a partially torn patella tendon in his left knee.
Nadal could miss the ATP World Tour Finals on Nov. 5-12 in London and Spain�s Davis Cup final against the Czech Republic on Nov. 16-18.

One must celebrate when one has the chance and after this proverb, people came together at the Swatch Snowpark Sölden to celebrate their favorite sport on the weekend. The fifth Freestyle Feast passed of ferociously and for the first time with a congenial slopestyle contest in order to give tribute for freestyle sports!
Swatch Snowpark Sölden, Saturday, March 13th 2010
Blue skies, a shaped and shiny Swatch Snowpark, a high riding-level and of course the nightlife of Sölden guaranteed that the fifth Freestyle Feast had enough on offer for everyone, no matter if participant or guest. Around 40 riders gave everything under the judging of the "Airpatrol-guys" Florian Merten and Alexander Anderer to get a piece of the EUR 1000,- prizemoney, as well as some of the numerous goodies provided by the sponsors Oakley, Nitro and Moreboards. Also, QParks headshaper Christoph Schöpf was just excited by the development of the Feast, as he later comments: "The weather was brilliant and the riders were extremely motivated. They all showed a very high level in all categories and in the end the victories were well-deserved. For the spectators it was just a cool and relaxing come-together in the chillout area at some barbecue and good music!"
The flawless and demanding setup emphasized the extraordingly level of the contest with a three kickers line and a flowing railline consisting of a kinked rail, a rocket rail, a downrail to finally end up in a xxl wallride. Unfortunately, however, exceptionally male riders competed in this first contest, but hopefully some of the girls found their taste at what they saw on Saturday and will take part next year for the Freestyle Feast 6!
And the winners are ...
Only a few riders from neighboring countries found their way into the line-up and so the top of the podium styayed in Austrian hands this year. The winners of freeskiers were Gram Gottfried (AUT) in the category "Freeski Men" and Rangger Dominik (AUT) of the "Freeski rookies". At the snowboarders, Rene Friedl (AUT) dominated the ranking and Angelo Gastl (AUT) won at the "snowboard rookies". The result is particularly encouraging for QParks, since after all there was a double success at the snowboarders: Rene Friedel is headshaper in the stanton park in St. Anton at the Arlberg and Jonel Fricke (GER) is headshaper of the Kitzbühel DC Area 43 North and achieved an excellent third place in the "Snowboard Men" category and thus showed that next to his outstanding work as headshaper he also found enough time to train! The official ranking list is available at the bottom |
René commented on his victory: "I am really thrilled and was surprised when I finally was appointed the winner of the snowboard contest! I think my FS 5 Nose at the starting kicker was acclaimed by the judges. The park was amazing and the 3 Series kicker line is a substantial improvement to last year when I was a shaper in Soelden. Also the new wallride is really massive! The Slopestyle contest appealed to me extremely well, I hope the format will be maintained for next year. " Freeski winner Gottfried "Goffi" Gram also spent a memorable day in the Swatch Snowpark Sölden: "The contest was just as I would imagine a contest; enough training and then a cozy jamsession, which simply made me step on the gas even further! For me this was the first but surely not the last participation in the Freestyle Feast! The park is super cool and the 3 kicker line is my absolute favorite - funny and just right for a contest, not too small not too big - just right, the railsetup likewise! This was a decisive factor that ultimately everything has gone exactly according to my ideas! On the first kicker a 'Cork 900', then at the second one a 'Rightside 720 reverse tailgrab' and at the end another 'Leftside 720 High Mute'!" Also the young shooting star Dominik (11 years, Ischgl) is overjoyed by his victory: "The contest was extremely fun and it was super organized! I think my tricks [Cork 7 - Double-Nose; Superman-Frontflip; 57-720] really worked out well!" After his 1st Place at the recent Kirschbaum Battle in the stanton park in St. Anton at the Arlberg, the 1st place at the Freestyle Feast is another highlight of his short career. Just at the moment he is in St. Anton for the shooting of the movie The Chalet Girl by director Phil Trail, in which he can soon be seen on screen with a freestyle scene! |
Inspired by the driving beats of DJ Masstrixx's and MC Lix's virtuos accompaniment, the motivation of the riders seemed literally to explode, which was apparent in the latest shoot-your-ride "goodies-for-Trix Session". After only 10 minutes (!)all the goodies were already taken and then the scene went on with the coronation of the winners in the chillarea. In the evening everyone cheered on the successful contest and after the clashing cold in the park, the riders and guests heated themselves up again at Sölden's nightlife!Text..... |

Science Bulletins: Full Gene Set Decoded for Three More People
In June 2000, scientists triumphantly announced they had deciphered the full human genome—the 3.2 billion units of DNA that make up the blueprint for human life. This sequence was a composite of smaller segments of DNA from many individuals, arranged to make one complete strand. Sequencing this genome cost billions of dollars and took more than a decade using the laboratory tools and techniques developed at the time. Since then, faster and cheaper sequencing techniques have been developed. Now

Science Bulletins: New Stem Cell Method Shows Promise
The University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers who turned ordinary skin cells into stem cells in 2007 have cleared a major safety concern of using those cells in research: their risk of cancer. Their previous process used a virus to insert several genes into the DNA of skin cells. The genetic code of these genes naturally reprograms cells to revert to their original stem cell state. There was just one problem—the new stem cells were cancer-prone.

- Credit Suisse notes investors are concerned the 12GW target won't be attainable if utility-scale installations are capped at 4GW. It thinks Yingli (YGE -5.9%), Trina (TSL -7%), and JinkoSolar (JKS -5.3%) have the most to lose if such a cap is implemented.
- Nomura is less concerned, noting most companies it has talked to believe 4GW "will be more of a guideline rather than a firm cap." The firm adds China's solar policy discussion is "fluid," and that the government remains committed to supporting solar adoption.
- Notable solar decliners (in addition to the aforementioned companies): HSOL -12.1%. SPWR -5.6%. CSUN -5.5%. JASO -3.4%. DQ -2%.

Tuesday, Nov 2610:58 AMChinese solar stocks slip following JA Solar, LDK Solar's numbers
- With a lot of good news having been priced in this year, several Chinese solar stocks are selling off after JA Solar and LDK Solar both provided mixed Q3 numbers and fairly good guidance (I, II). LDK (LDK -2.5%), which continues to deal with major liquidity/debt payment issues (the company just reached a new two-week debt forbearance deal with creditors), has given up its premarket gains.
- Notable decliners: STP -10.4%. YGE -3.8%. SOL -2.9%. DQ -2.7%. TSL -2%.

Tuesday, Nov 192:41 PM3D printing, solar stocks reverse course
- After steadily rising over the last three weeks, 3D printing stocks are reversing course in dramatic fashion today in the absence of major news. Solar stocks, which have also seen plenty of good days lately, are also selling off hard.
- 3D printer makers 3D Systems (DDD -6.1%), Stratasys (SSYS -7.5%), ExOne (XONE -7.7%), and Voxeljet (VJET -14.1%) are all off sharply, as is custom parts maker Proto Labs ([[PRLB -4.8% - sometimes hyped as a 3D printing play).
- Trina (TSL -4.9%), which provided a big Q3 beat and guidance hike this morning, has turned negative after shooting higher in premarket trading. Other solar decliners: YGE -10.9%. FSLR -4.6%. SOL -6.4%. JASO -6.4%. CSUN -5.6%. JKS 5.7%. DQ -5.5%. SUNE -5.5%. CSIQ -5.3%. SPWR -7.1%.

Thursday, Nov 72:22 PMSolarCity dives post-earnings, takes peers lower with it
- With shares up over 5x YTD going into the company's Q3 report, SolarCity (SCTY -14%) investors are taking profits in the face of a Q3 beat and above-consensus guidance.
- Credit Suisse (Outperform, $75 PT) is defending SolarCity today, while praising the company's operating leverage and incremental retained value per watt (rose 35% Q/Q in Q3 to $1.9)1.
- Goldman (Neutral, $65 PT) also talks up SolarCity's value retention, as well as its declining operational costs/watt (fell to $0.59/watt from $0.80/watt in Q2). But it also cautions expectations were high, points out "no volume upside was provided" for 2013/2014 deployment targets, and that there's "limited clarity" for SolarCity's solar lease securitization efforts.
- On its CC (transcript), SolarCity mentioned it invested $200M+ in solar deployments in Q3, and financed another $86M. The company has been raising funds for its deployment efforts at a breakneck pace.
- Many solar peers are also off sharply on a rough day for tech momentum play. Thanks to good earnings news, the group rallied sharply both on Monday and last Friday. In addition to SolarCity, China Sunergy's poor guidance could also be playing a role.
- Solar decliners: FSLR -4.2%. SPWR -6.1%. SOL -5.1%. JKS -4.8%. YGE -4.7%. JASO -6.5%. DQ -10.2%. SPWR -6.1%. LDK -5.5%. SUNE -3.8%.

Monday, Nov 412:56 PMSolar stocks take off following guidance hikes
- Positive Q3 guidance revisions from Canadian Solar (previous) and Daqo (DQ +11.2%) are fueling another massive rally in solar stocks, some of which jumped last Friday thanks to blowout Q3 numbers from First Solar (FSLR +4.6%).
- Canadian hiked the midpoint of its Q3 module shipment guidance range by more than 10%, and the midpoint of its gross margin guidance range by 800 bps. Daqo has upped its polysilicon shipment range to 1,200-1,275 MT from a prior 1,000 MT, albeit while slightly lowering its wafer shipment guidance to 6.5-6.6 MT from prior 6.8 MT (shipping delays are blamed).
- The guidance hikes follow a string of positive Q2 reports from Chinese solar firms in August, as companies saw both their sales and margins benefit from growing local demand, diminishing overcapacity, and strong shipments to the high-margin Japanese market. Credit Suisse recently predicted improving demand could lead excess Chinese supply to evaporate by late 2014 or 2015.
- Also: Suntech (STP +13.6%) has officially reached a deal to sell its large and bankrupt Wuxi, China unit to solar cell maker Shunfeng (previous), SunPower (SPWR +10.9%) has announced it's buying module cleaning robot developer Greenbiotics, and SolarCity (SCTY +16.4%) has announced (as part of its seemingly non-stop financing binge) it's selling $54.4M in solar asset-backed notes maturing in Dec. 2026.
- Today's winners, aside from the aforementioned companies: JKS +9.8%. JASO +9.2%. RSOL +8.3%. LDK +6.5%. HSOL +5.2%. YGE +7.4%. CSUN +6%. SOL +6.9%. SUNE +3.5%. TSL +9.7%.

Friday, Oct 254:21 PMChinese Web/solar stocks fall amid NQ Mobile accusations, Shanghai selloff
- Chinese Internet and solar stocks, many of which have skyrocketed this year, have closed with decent losses after the Shanghai exchange fell for the fourth day in a row amid credit crunch worries, and as NQ Mobile continued to feel the impact of Muddy Waters' fraud allegations.
- Muddy Waters' detailed accusations regarding ghost addresses, a shell company, inflated market share figures, dubious cash balances, and spyware are likely to yield fresh scrutiny of the financial statements provided by Chinese ADRs, and could also affect the reception given to upcoming IPOs (I, II). Investor concerns about the bookkeeping of U.S.-traded Chinese firms had diminished some this year.
- Chinese Internet decliners: VIPS -9.1%. AMAP -6.1%. YY -6%. QIHU -4.8%. PWRD -5.7%. CYOU -4.7%. SINA -3.8%. LONG -3.5%. YOKU -3%.
- Chinese solar decliners: YGE -12.2%. JKS -9.4%. JASO -9%. DQ -7.2%. TSL -6.8%. CSIQ -4.8%. CSUN -4.4%.

Friday, Oct 182:28 PMFirst Solar surges amid Icahn rumors, peers also rallying
- Rumors Carl Icahn is set to disclose a stake in First Solar (FSLR +7.9%) have helped shares fly higher. Similar rumors popped up back in April.
- Several solar peers are also doing very well on what's proving a good day for momentum stocks. SPWR +4.9%. SUNE +5%. SCTY +7.5%. DQ +14.3%. CSIQ +4.8%.
- JinkoSolar (JKS +2.7%) is up more moderately after announcing a deal to develop a 120MW Chinese solar plant that will be built over the next three years. Shares jumped yesterday in response to a Credit Suisse upgrade.
- The Guggenheim Solar ETF (TAN +1.9%) is now up 152% YTD.

Friday, Oct 1110:32 AMSolar stocks follow SolarCity higher
- Two days after tumbling as the government shutdown spawned a general selloff in risk assets, solar stocks are bouncing with the help of strong Q3 numbers and even stronger 2014 guidance from SolarCity. The numbers shine a light on the strong installation growth being seen in the U.S. market.
- Notable gainers: SPWR +5%. FSLR +3.3%. TSL +5.7%. YGE +3.6%. JKS +4.4%. CSIQ +3.9%. JASO +3.9%. DQ +3.4%.

Monday, Sep 3011:44 AMChinese solar stocks rally (again) following gov. tax rebate plan
- The Chinese government, which has already set a 35GW 2015 solar installation target, is now offering local solar manufacturers a 50% value-added tax (VAT) rebate for sales taking place from Oct. 2013-Dec. 2015.
- Chinese solar plays are responding well to the news. STP +15.6%. CSUN +23.5%. LDK +13.4%. SOL +5.4%. DQ +4.5%. JASO +3.9%. TSL +4.1%. YGE +3%.
- Also: JinkoSolar (JKS +3.6%) has announced a deal to supply 20MW of modules to the State Grid Corporation (China's biggest electric utility) for a 60MW demonstration project. Deliveries will take place in Q4.
- Last week's gains: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

Friday, Sep 275:25 PMMore gains for Chinese solar stocks as upgrades add to momentum
- Deutsche's upgrades of Yingli and Trina ended up stoking a broader rally in volatile Chinese solar names, most of whom were already having a pretty impressive week going into today.
- China Sunergy (CSUN +30.4%) was a standout, even though there was no company-specific news to fuel today's massive gains. Other winners: CSIQ +9.5%. SOL +8.8%. JKS +5.3%. JASO +4.1%. DQ +3.7%.
- Yesterday: Solar stocks rally again, India and First Solar in the news

Thursday, Sep 2610:25 AMSolar stocks rally again, India and First Solar in the news
- Solar stocks are adding to yesterday's gains with the help of a market rally. Also possibly helping: the Indian government has set a 10GW 2017 solar capacity target. The move follows the Chinese government's establishment of a 35GW 2015 target.
- Winners: JKS +5.1%. SPWR +3.6%. YGE +4.8%. TSL +4%. SOL +2.1%. DQ +13.9% (previous).
- Also: First Solar (FSLR +1.1%) has announced it's buying a 250MW Nevada solar project from project developer K Road Power. The project is situated to the northeast of Las Vegas, could see construction begin in Q4, and is expected to be finished by the end of 2015.

Wednesday, Sep 251:32 PMDaqo issues statement, gives back some of yesterday's gains
- After soaring 61% yesterday in the absence of major news, Daqo (DQ -17.4%) is giving back a chunk of its gains today.
- This morning, the Chinese polysilicon maker issued a boilerplate PR stating it isn't company policy "to comment on unusual market activity or speculative matters."
- Yesterday: Daqo flies higher

NBA AM: The NBA Playoffs Almost Set
Posted By Steve Kyler On April 24, 2012 @ 9:13 am In All,NBA | No Comments
Playoffs Almost Set : With their win last night over the New Jersey Nets, the Philadelphia 76ers have locked in the 8th seed in the East, all that's left is the battle for eight in the West.
The Utah Jazz are one game up on Phoenix for control of the eight seed, with both teams having just two games left to play.
Here is how the playoff picture is taking shape as of this morning:
*** via games played through 4/23/12 |
You Call It – Coach Of The Year:
The post-season awards continue to roll on: Cleveland's Kyrie Irving was your vote for Rookie of the Year, Oklahoma City's James Harden ran away with the Sixth Man of the year vote, Milwaukee's Ersan Ilyasova continues to receive votes for Most Improved, winning that vote in a walk. LA Clippers executive Neil Olshey got the nod for Executive of the year.
The Defensive Player of the Year award was a little tighter than some of the others with New York's Tyson Chandler winning the vote. The results looked like this:
Tyson Chandler – New York (34%, 464 Votes), Serge Ibaka – Oklahoma City (28%, 392 Votes), Dwight Howard – Orlando (13%, 178 Votes), LeBron James – Miami (11%, 156 Votes), Luol Deng – Chicago (7%, 99 Votes), Shawn Marion – Dallas (5%, 63 Votes), Andre Iguodala – Philadelphia (2%, 24 Votes)
Which leaves us with…
Grunfeld Staying?: Michael Lee of the Washington Post is reporting that the Washing Wizards, namely owner Ted Leonsis is keeping General Manager Ernie Grunfeld with a new multi-year deal.
Grunfeld's contract was set to expire this summer, and it was commonly believed Grunfeld and his staff would be replaced, so news that Leonsis is keeping Ernie is a bit surprising considering how bad the team has been under Grunfeld's watch.
According to Lee's report, Leonsis is said to have weighed Grunfeld's ability to amass draft picks and offload unfavorable contracts for younger talent as a basis for allowing Grunfeld to continue what he has started.
The Wizards are expected to announce Grunfeld's new deal as early as today.
Under Grunfeld's watch the Wizards have amassed a 282-438 record and have not made the playoffs since 2007.
The Wizards are sitting on $58.6 million in salary commitments which includes Rashard Lewis' $22.6 million contract, of which only $13 million is guaranteed.
Based on the standings today, the Wizards look like they will land the 2nd overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft.
The 2012 NBA Draft Lottery is scheduled for May 30th. Based on the NBA's ping-pong ball lottery system, Washington has a 19.9% chance of landing the top overall pick, an 18.8% chance of landing the 2nd overall pick and a 17.1% chance of landing the third overall pick. The absolute worst the Wizards could do in the lottery is the fourth which they have a 31.9% chance of landing.
Lee Wants Houston : Houston's Courtney Lee is part of a star-studded class of would-be restricted free agents this July and is hoping for the security of a long-term contract. With more than 13 NBA teams looking at ample cap space, he may actually get it.
Lee, who came on strong for the Rockets down the stretch of the season, is optimistic about his situation and says he'd like to stay in Houston long-term, but that's not entirely up to him.
"I'd love to stay in Houston," Lee said to Jonathan Fiegen of the Houston Chronicle. "I have little control over that. The only thing I can control is how I play every night and give 100 percent effort. The off-the-court stuff is up to the front office and owner. I'd like to stay, but that's their decision.
"Houston is always going to be my first choice. It's up to those guys, if I get an offer, whether they match it or if they just come out and give me an offer."
Lee and his agents tried negotiate a contract extension with the Rockets this season and were unable to reach a deal.
The Rockets hold Lee's rights and with a $3.2 million Qualifying Offer they can make him a restricted free agent. The Rockets can and likely will match almost any offer given to Lee on the open market.
The Rockets have $40.8 million in salary commitments, which includes the non-guaranteed $6.9 million deal of Samuel Dalembert making Houston one of the top cap-space teams.

Who was that familiar-looking middle-age guy surrounded by young men and beautiful women on Saturday at Costa Mesa's Hi-Time Wine Cellars?
Why none other than Ron Jeremy, of course. Porn star. Rum maker.
"Take a whiff of this," said Jeremy as he sat on a bar stool next to a life-size cutout image of himself. "It's 94 proof. Check this out: vanilla, chocolate-y caramel."
Jeremy screwed off the cap. He was right: the dark, exotic-looking rum had a great nose. Still, it was a little weird having Ron Jeremy order me to take a whiff of something.
Ron De Jeremy Spice Rum ($14.99, 750 ml) is one of two products made under his label. I bought a bottle, and it's a decent rum for mixing with summer drinks that contain juices and cola.
The two rums in the Ron de Jeremy line-up are made in Panama by respected 72-year old Cuban master distiller Francisco "Don Pancho" Fernandez. The other is a serious 7-year aged rum ($29.99 at Hi-Time) that has been getting good reviews. Read the rest of this entry »

The "Final Plating" sequence is a real nail-biter.
The chef's announcement comes a week after Gordon Ramsay said he'd suspend business with the France-based Soulard company.
"Ducks lie dead and dying, and many have painful eye injuries and abscesses."
Get those Michelin sparklers back, if you feel like it.
It's hard to garnish the plate when you can't reach the pass.
On Twitter, the chef said the experience was more intense than opening a restaurant.
His expletive-filled antics are really just the tears of a clown, or something.
Somehow only Gordo, who makes millions acting furious, remains unscathed.
The soccer star wants to take this thing worldwide.
The dream team sold out a gazillion restaurant seats in less than half the time it took you to read this sentence.
Yay, Devious Maids and Pretty Little Liars. Aw, So You Think You Can Dance.
The seven-foot-two reality-television-show contestant apparently did not respond to three cops pepper-spraying his face.
The British chef dissolved his financial interests in the place back in 2009.
At least he won the chilli crab.
Cue the jokes about this being a "kitchen nightmare."

As I'm sure you know, you appreciate things more when you can't have them. I appreciate time away from the house to exercise since I know my time is valued and I can't do this everyday like I used to. It is literally a lifetime ago that I could exercise anytime I wanted to, go for walks or jogs at the park after work or before work, wake up at 5:30 for CrossFit at 6 a.m., be home by 7:15 to shower and get dressed and go to work. All that time for me!
Now, I get far less time for fitness. It's really important to me to be active and healthy, so I make time for it. Twice during the week and twice on the weekends I try to go to the gym or a Define class. I don't know how my schedule will change when I go back to work, but for the past few months this has worked.
One thing I have done to make the gym more fun is to add back one thing I used to do each week or each time I go. When I first started back after baby, I walked on the treadmill. Then I added the StairMaster, elliptical, jumping rope, kettlebell swings, barbell weights from CrossFit moves, planks, ab work with a stability ball and ab mat, spinning classes, and the latest–running!
I wasn't sure when or if I would return to running. I ran a half marathon in December 2010, and after that, my IT Band never recovered. I got pregnant a few months later and ended up taking over a year off of jogging. A few weeks ago I decided I wanted to jog on the treadmill, so I downloaded the Couch to 5K app. It starts you very slowly with 60 seconds of running and 90 seconds of walking on repeat for 20 minutes. After following it three times, I found myself wanting to go a little more than 90 seconds at a time, so I am fast forwarding through some of the days.
I am hoping to be jogging more continuous minutes soon with less walking. It feels surprisingly good to jog again. I hope my legs hold up.
I am looking forward to taking the stroller out for walks and jogs when the weather cools down…in November. Until it's cooler, my exercise will be indoors by myself.
How are you active in the summer?

Social "Practice"
Remember that first event you went to, with the unfamiliar names, protocols, and mannerisms? Never mind the odd games (Nine man WHO??) and strange terms used for things... And that garb, well... it feels a little different than the clothes you're used to...
Afonlyn believes that it is important to have an opportunity to wear the clothes we spend so much time sewing, and to dance the dances we spend so much time practicing. Everybody knows social graces become more, well... graceful with use, and who doesn't like to eat?
Social Practices provide an opportunity to "put into practice" those items and skills we work at honing away from the list field, without the pressure of an "EVENT" where, especially for newcomers, it can be a little overwhelming trying to remember which coronet means what title, and when to bow/curtsey, and so on. This also creates a casual social evening where we can mingle with friends, new and old, and find fellowship within our own community of history enthusiasts.
These garbed "practices" are open to all, including members of the public who want to learn more about the SCA. We do strive to stay "in persona" when practical (so discussion of the Colts' performance is preferably left outside the doors, please!) but we also want to be able to answer questions and discuss various practices without too much convoluted "Pseudo-medieval Speak" confusing the matter. We have loaner garb available, and there's no cost to attend. We just ask that you bring an open mind and a willingness to step "Forward into the Past."

There's no easy way like matplotlib for plotting simple graphs in Python. So we need to manually create functions which draw graphs. Following code shows one of the possible ways.
Graph functions
from __future__ import generators
from appuifw import *
def arange(start, stop=None, step=None):
if stop is None:
stop = float(start)
start = 0.0
if step is None:
step = 1.0
cur = float(start)
while cur < stop:
yield cur
cur += step
# define application body
app.body = canvas = Canvas()
width, height = canvas.size # get canvas size to scale graphs
# draw x and y axis
def axes(xyrange, position=[18, height-11, width-10, 10], formatter=lambda x:x):
global left, bottom, right, top, min_x, min_y, scale_x, scale_y
left, bottom, right, top = position
min_x, max_x, step_x, min_y, max_y, step_y = xyrange
scale_x = float(right-left)/(max_x-min_x)
scale_y = float(bottom-top)/(max_y-min_y)
# draw axis rectangle(see images below)
canvas.rectangle([(left,top), (right+1, bottom+1)], 0)
# define points on axis and write numbers
for x in arange(min_x, max_x, step_x):
canvas.text((14+scale_x*(x-min_x), height-1), unicode(formatter(x)))
canvas.point((left+scale_x*(x-min_x), bottom-1), 0)
canvas.point((left+scale_x*(x-min_x), top+1), 0)
for y in arange(min_y, max_y, step_y):
canvas.text((2, bottom+2-scale_y*(y-min_y)), unicode(formatter(y)))
canvas.point((left+1, bottom-scale_y*(y-min_y)), 0)
canvas.point((right-1, bottom-scale_y*(y-min_y)), 0)
# plot co-ordinates and generate graph
def plot(xs, ys=None):
if ys==None:
ys = xs
xs = range(len(ys))
last = left+(xs[0]-min_x)*scale_x, bottom-(ys[0]-min_y)*scale_y
for i in range(1, len(ys)):
p = left+(xs[i]-min_x)*scale_x, bottom-(ys[i]-min_y)*scale_y
canvas.line([last, p], 0x00000ff)
last = p
canvas.point(last, 0x0000ff)
Example Usage
When we want to plot a graph, we called both axes() and plot()
# a straight line
>>> axes([0,3.1,.5, 1,4.1,.5])
>>> plot([1,2,3,4])
# a parabola y = x^2
>>> axes([1,4.1,1, 0,16.1,2], formatter=int)
>>> plot([1,2,3,4], [1,4,9,16])
Following screenshots show the result of above code.

Best 1000' vertical drop mountain in the world
by hankhartley - 22nd January 2011
Pros: good trails, uncrowded
Cons: slow lifts
I've skied here three or four times through the years. It's relatively small, (1000' vd), but it packs a lot of entertainment for its size. First of all, it... Full review
