Camp Pendleton to Add New Solar Project
- August 9, 2011
- comments:0
Work on a second solar system at Camp Pendleton, Calif., is scheduled to be completed in one year, the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) said this week.
The agency awarded an $8.5 million contract to construct a solar photovoltaic system on top of an old landfill where another solar system is being used. Each of the array's 5,136 solar modules will be rated at 280 watts. The modules' direct power will be converted to utility grade distribution power by using five 260-kilowatt, high-efficiency power converters. The project will have the capacity to produce about 2.1 million kilowatt hours annually, enough electricity to power about 315 California homes during sun peak hours.
"The project helps to meet the Marine Corps' mandatory renewable energy goals, energy security goals and carbon footprint reduction goals by producing green power on-site on a piece of real estate that otherwise can't be beneficially occupied," said Jorge Perez, a construction manager for NAVFAC Southwest.
The new utility-scale solar photovoltaic system will provide multiple opportunities for NAVFAC to expand its expertise, Perez said. The project will allow the agency to study the impact of the solar system on the utility power distribution grid, work at an environmentally sensitive site, learn about effective methods to construct solar facilities and use more efficient solar technologies.

A wheelie bike, also called a muscle bike, high-riser, or banana bike, is a type of stylized children's bicycle designed in the 1960s to resemble a chopper motorcycle and characterized by ape hanger handlebars, a banana seat with sissy bar, and small (16-to-20-inch (410 to 510 mm)) wheels. Notable examples include the Schwinn Sting-Ray and Krate lines and the Raleigh Chopper line. Other notable manufacturers and retailers that offered models include AMF, CCM, Columbia, Huffy, Iverson, J. C. Penney, Malvern Star, Monark, Murray, Ross, Sears, and Vindec.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—The exhibition Picasso: Masterpieces From the Musée National Picasso, Paris enters its final weeks at the de Young Museum in San Francisco and closes on October 10. The exhibition travels next to Sydney, Australia for its run at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
This exhibition of 150 important paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings created by Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) is drawn from the permanent collection of the Musée National Picasso, Paris the largest and most significant repository of the artist's work in the world, and comes to the de Young as part of an international tour. The artwork is touring because the Musée is currently closed and undergoing a multi-year renovation expected to last through 2012. Ranging from informal sketchbooks to finished iconic masterpieces, this unique collection of "Picasso's Picassos" provides significant proof of the artist's assertion that "I am the greatest collector of Picassos in the world."
The exhibition, co-organized by the Musée National Picasso and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, is part of a world tour that began in 2008 with stops at museums in Madrid, Helsinki, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Seattle, Richmond (VA), San Francisco and Sydney.

Tuesday–Sunday: 9:30 am–5:15 pm (last ticket 4 pm)

The de Young hosts an extraordinary exhibition of more than 100 masterpieces by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) from the permanent collection of Paris' world-renowned Musée National Picasso. The once-in-a-lifetime exhibition, made possible only because of the temporary closure of the Musée Picasso until 2012 for extensive renovations, comprises paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints drawn from every phase of the artist's career. The works on view demonstrate the wide range of artistic styles and forms that the artist mastered, including: La Celestine (1904), from the artist's Blue Period; Two Brothers (1906), from the Rose Period; Expressionist studies for Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907); the Cubist Man with a Guitar (1911), the Neoclassical Portrait of Olga (1917), the artist's wife; the proto-Surrealist Two Women Running on a Beach (1922); Portrait of Dora Maar (1937), the artist's lover and famed French artist; six Surrealist bronze heads of the artist's mistress, Marie-Therese Walter; the Head of a Bull (1942) fabricated from a bicycle seat and handlebars; the bronze Goat (1950); the six life-size bronzeBathers (1956); and the late self-portrait, The Matador (1970).

As the Revs wrap up training in the Dana-Farber Field House in what was possibly their final local indoor training session of the preseason, the staff is in the office making final arrangements for tomorrow's journey to North Carolina. There, the Revs will spend 12 days training and playing their final three preseason games before the season opener against the… Continue reading »
Training Photos
Check out some photos from this week's training sessions at The Dana Farber Field House at Gillette Stadium.
Preseason Training – February 18
Any time we announce preseason information, there is always an asterisk directing readers to a bold note at the bottom: *Schedule is subject to change. The Revs have definitely put that footnote into effect this week, as the club just announced this afternoon that the players and staff will head to Orlando, Fla., this Saturday for a six-day… Continue reading »
Preseason Training – February 17
Another day of preseason training kicked off at 10 a.m. this morning in the Dana-Farber Field House, and it was again a longer session as we edge closer and closer to the start of the season. While today's workout was much like yesterday's in many ways, a few of the drills differed slightly.
Preseason Training – February 16
The Revolution's recently-announced training trip to North Carolina in mid-March will be a welcome reprieve if the current New England weather continues, as wet, slushy snow coated Foxborough and made for some messy conditions this morning. Luckily for the Revs, the indoor facilities at the Dana-Farber Field House on the grounds of Gillette Stadium remain dry no matter the… Continue reading »
Preseason Training – Feburary 12
While Friday means casual day (jeans and sneakers) inside the Revolution offices, today was anything but casual for the Revs players, who not only went through their first double session of the preseason, but also had headshots (both still and video) taken in between the sessions. We'll have a behind the scenes look at headshot day… Continue reading »
Preseason Training – February 11
While the first three days of training this week incorporated ballwork, small-sided games and full-field scrimmages, the routine switched back to fitness and conditioning for today's workout in the Dana-Farber Field House. By the power of deduction, it can be assumed that the inclusion of games and drills earlier this week was done for the benefit… Continue reading »
Preseason Training – February 10
While the expected snow storm has yet to hit the Foxborough area with full force - still just flurries with no accumulation on the ground as of early this afternoon – it has already affected the Revolution's training plans. While today was scheduled to be the club's first double session of the preseason, the afternoon session… Continue reading »
Preseason Training – February 9
The second week of preseason training continued today with an extended two-hour session, which once again focused on ballwork and small-sided games and moved away from last week's regimen of strictly conditioning drills. Trialist Reinaldo Navia was on hand for a second straight day and got his opportunity to impress the Revolution's coaching staff in a… Continue reading »
Stevie nails it!
Quick video hit for those of you who haven't seen this on our Facebook/Youtube pages: New assistant coach Steve Myles challenged Steve Nicol to hit the crossbar. Nicol accepts, and well, nails it.
Preseason Training – February 8
After sticking to a consistent formula of conditioning exercises last week – the first of preseason training after a long offseason – the Revs deviated from the norm this morning as they rolled out the balls and played their first small-sided games of the preseason. While it obviously serves as an opportunity for the returning players to regain their… Continue reading »
Preseason Training – February 5
The first week of preseason training wrapped up today just before noon. Four days into active workouts, it's safe to say the guys are looking forward to getting into more traditional soccer action next week. The excitement of being back and doing conditioning work is tempered by the knowledge that everyone will start to get… Continue reading »

Why 2013 is just the beginning of NPL waves for China banks
Around RMB 5trn expected over the next five years.
According to Barclays Research, 2013 is just the beginning of NPL waves. It expects around RMB 5trn cumulatively (c10% of China's 2012 GDP) in next five years.
Barclays said, this is based on our top-down approach and assumes "excess bank loans" between 2009-12 and 25% NPL ratio for public and 2.5% for "non-stimulus" loans.
Gross NPL formation rate of the normalized loans could reach 2.5% at the peak.
Here's more:
We believe the NPL cycle has just begun and estimate the gross NPL formation rate in the coming five years (2013E-2017E) to trend upward. The cumulative gross NPL formation rate between 2013 and 2017 in our base case scenario could come close to 5%, which is in line with our forecast.
In the worst case scenario, we estimate the cumulative gross NPL formation rate could be 7.1%, due to accelerating asset quality determination on MSE loans, WMPs and risky interbank assets.

Grand Haven placed 774 and Spring Lake ranked 975.
"It's phenomenal," Grand Haven High School Principal Tracy Wilson said. "Coming off a phenomenal weekend with Science Olympiad (the school placed third in the national tournament), this is just great. It feels really good for our kids, our staff and our community."
The magazine ranked Grand Haven 26th in the state and Spring Lake 40th.
Spring Lake Superintendent Dennis Furton said Newsweek's announcement is a good way to end the school year.
Earlier this month, U.S. News & World Report ranked Spring Lake High School in the Top 2 percent in the nation and Grand Haven in the Top 5 percent. In national rankings, Spring Lake captured the 524th slot out of 22,000 schools and Grand Haven was 1,124th in the "America's Best High Schools" study. The magazine scored Spring Lake as the eighth best out of 826 Michigan high schools; Grand Haven ranked 26th.

Rated 3.5 out of 5�by 8 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5�by darann Ok, for a small boat. Base of the paddle is not as big as my present paddle, but will be using in a smaller boat, so hopefully it will work. No choice on color and you get what they send. Beware that prices vary from store to online. Mine had the store price tag on it still, and it was much cheaper than I had paid online! January 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Igi The Paddels are Good and light,Popmusik what i was looking for Good and light Paddels ,Long enough for a pantone boat if needed July 14, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by Rick dont waste your $ The sleeve to adjust the length of the paddle cracked about 5 sec. after it was put in the water. Completely worthless product. June 18, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5�by fireteck there ok for the price the handle after you extend it never goes back the way you wannt it when you lock it to paddle. in other words you have to twist lock it several times to get it to lock where you want it. but i guess you get what you pay for. December 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Big Al Great Emergency Paddle Great to have on board "just in case." Sturdy and definitely reliable if you ever need it. Totally adjustable to almost any length needed. Great solid shaft for long strokes! June 11, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5�by cobb doesnt take much room. Nice small paddle. Extends into longer paddle. Use it for emergency use. However first trip to river, bent while using extended. June 5, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by Playtime So Far, So Good It seems to work as expected, we'll have to wait and see if it holds up for the whole summer. I like the fact that I can use it for a canoe, or adjust the length for kneeling on a Paddle Board. May 7, 2012

1926 Negligee by Decades of Style
You know all of those decorative stitches on your sewing machine that you always want to use but never get the chance to? Well, this vintage pattern is for you! This stunning pattern is from 1926. Supposedly it is a negligee but we think it has potential for outside the boudoir. All of the outer edges of this garment provide an opportunity to show off a decorative finish stitch. It is a simple and elegant design that is easy to wear and flattering for many different figures. So go ahead and get comfortable! All you need is 3 yards of a soft fabric and a desire to know your sewing machine a little better. All sizes are included in each pattern as well as directions for the fabric flower (machine embroidery would be just as fabulous instead of the fabric flower.) When this pattern came out in 1926, 40" wide fabric was the norm. The pattern takes advantage of that and calls for use of the selvage edge. If you are a 42" bust or larger, you can keep the original intent of the design and use 45" wide fabric. If the selvage edge is pretty, you can use it as the side of the garment! Category:1920's .
Includes sizes A, B, and C. Please see chart.$16.00 $11.20
1940s Boardwalk Duet by Decades of Style
Here's a vintage pattern from the 1940s that is perfect for hot weather. It is a long line brassiere top and a pair of pleated shorts. The Front and Side Front pieces of the Brassiere Top are cut on the bias Brassiere top is fully lined and buttons in back. Shorts button at side waist. Use firmly woven, medium weight fabrics: linen, denim, poplin, cotton, seersucker, pique.

Rick helped us find and buy our forever home! I highly recommend Rick, he was very professional, patient and kind. We are forever grateful for having him as our realtor!
My family and I are are in the process of relocating to Jacksonville, Florida from New Jersey. Rick has been an exceptional agent from the start; he returns my phone calls and responds to all my emails right away. Rick helped my family find our new home within a few days and was an excellent negotiator. Rick has been a very reliable and trustworthy resource.
Dear Greg & Jennifer. It was my pleasure to help you through the process of purchasing your home. After looking at all the communities you had on your list, I am glad you choose the Glen Kernan/Hodges Blvd area. I am always here for you and congratulations on your new home. Rick Filippone
My husband and I contacted Rick to help us search for homes near Jacksonville, FL. Rick exceeded our expectations, he was very knowledgable about the area and market, but also a very nice guy that went out of his way to ensure we had all the information we needed to plan our move! If you are in need of real estate services near Jacksonville this is your guy!
Rick is a very professional agent. He knows the market, the people and the methods to get transactions completed in a timely manner. He and his partner Rosie were very kind in showing me houses and nalso working with me long distance once the right property was found. He kept my wants and needs in mind when negotiating for the house and working with my realtor coordinating the sale of my home and my purchase of a new one. I appreciate the help he provided and guiding me through the process. He made the stressful situation of selling my home, buying a new home and moving from one city to another a lot easier than I anticipated.
I would definitely recommend him to anyone ready to buy a home.
Rick is a very good realtor! He helped me find the perfect house for my family and I to live, he made the process of buying a house a lot easier. Not only he was helpful during the buying process but he also helped us after we signed the contract. If you need a realtor I definitely recommend Rick Fillipone
Being new to the Jacksonville area we did not have anyone to refer an agent to us. We found a house on Zillow we wanted to see so contacted the listing agent. Rick called us immediately and we set up an appointment to meet. We not only saw the house in question but he arranged for us to see 10-12 more properties. Rick was diligent, responsive and patient throughout the whole buying process. Rick saw to it that all the home inspections, closing details and all communications with the sellers were not only addressed in a professional and timely matter but with care and ease for both parties. Rick is very knowledgable of this territory and is highly skilled at the negotiations and details to make the buying process enjoyable. Rick is a very personable person and a joy to work with.
Rick is awesome. He not only helped me find the right house based on the area I wanted and at the price range I was looking at, he helped me through the entire process. I would recommend Rick to anyone looking at buying or selling a house.
Had a wonderful experience with Rick while searching for a rental in Jacksonville! I contacted him regarding a condo he had listed, which turned out to be rented already. However, Rick still took the time to help me get another condo in the same development. He asked about what was important to me and then found a rental that was better than I expected for my tight student budget. And he did this despite the prospect of a minimal commission for him. He even negotiated the rent down for me. During the process, Rick also gave me lots of helpful advice about the Jacksonville area. He was definitely very knowledgeable about the property he showed me and the city in general. After finding a great property for me, he helped me with the application and leasing process. Rick definitely went above and beyond to help me find a home that fit my needs -- I would highly recommend him!
I was trying to buy a condo, but after one showing and I wasn't ready to buy, Rich started to disappear. He didn't reply my email and phone call. Later I realized, he might be thinking it's a too small business and he is too busy to help me. So I have to found another agent to help me out. It's a really bad experience.
Dear Zillow Users: This is a Zillow buyer from 2011. I was suggesting to all my clients looking for Condos in 2011 to beware of potentially serious issues. This individual should be happy that they did not buy a Condo then. I could have saved them $1000's. Sometimes you tell people the truth and they don't like what they hear, even though its the truth, they get upset. If you want a BS'er, I am not your agent. I am a straight shooter. As for not returning phone calls or emails, well that's a blatant lie, check all my other reviews.

New deal for bar-neighborhood dispute on Collier commission's agenda
The developer of Pebblebrooke and Stevie Tomato wants to cut a deal, and will try to persuade Collier County commissioners to play nicely at their meeting Tuesday.
A pending lawsuit by county commissioners — first proposed on Feb. 26 — got the developer to consider alternatives.
The discussion about a potential resolution of the matter is slated to begin at 2 p.m. at Tuesday's commission meeting.
Due to complaints of noise by numerous neighbors, county staff was planning to shut down the Stevie Tomato in the shopping at Immokalee Road and Collier Boulevard.
The bar was a popular hangout, but a county staff investigation determined that a prior commission in 2002 approved the project based on incorrect zoning determinations, meaning service and sale of alcohol at the neighborhood shopping center.
Shopping center owner DAD Development is proposing plantings and a concrete wall to buffer the adjacent neighborhood.
County commissioners had agreed to wait until the buffering plan is presented to Pebblebrooke residents before deciding whether to add the provision for two-floor building.
The county sought to shut down the bar, both indoor and outdoor seating, but to keep open the establishment as a restaurant.
While it would require a judge to determine whether Stevie Tomato is a bar or restaurant, based on 2002 zoning codes, some of the developer's concessions might be an alternative to a lawsuit, according to County Attorney Jeff Klatkow's memo to commissioners.
The developer retained a landscape architect and met with Pebblebrooke residents on March 24 to discuss ways to mitigate Stevie Tomato's impact on the community.
"The result of that meeting is a proposed agreement, which, if acceptable to (commissioners), would be memorialized by a developer's agreement," Klatzkow wrote.
The developer would install a landscape buffer that will provide at least 90 percent screening for the building. The buffer would be constructed on top of an existing concrete wall, and extend vertically to a height of more than 26 feet.
The developer also would install a landscape buffer with the area designated in the PUD as a preserve area; install film on the building's southern second-floor windows; and extend the existing 8-foot concrete wall along the west side of the building for 175 feet north of the property line, which is all the way to the existing Dumpster enclosure on the north side of the building.
In a recent memo to commissioners, Klatzkow noted that Stevie Tomato's has installed a sound barrier around the outside seating area, which the developer contends has greatly reduced the noise to the community.
In other matters, the commission Tuesday will discuss the following:
-- A tougher animal control ordinance to focus on dangerous dogs.
-- Presentation of results of the Rental Registration investigation, and decide on a means to collect registration renewal late fees for 2005, 2006 and 2007.
The commission meets beginning at 9 a.m. in commission chambers at the county government complex, corner of U.S. 41 East and Airport-Pulling Road.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has transformed the previous NCI-sponsored Clinical Trials Cooperative Group Program that funded several separate organizations into a new consolidated and integrated program now called the NCI National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN). This new program becomes effective March 1, 2014.
The main goal of the NCTN is to conduct definitive, randomized, late phase clinical treatment trials and advanced imaging trials across a broad range of diseases and diverse patient populations. The NCTN comprises four adult network groups, one pediatric group and one Canadian collaborating clinical trials group that generate trials for the network.
The Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology (or Alliance) is a network group.
Here's what Alliance members need to know about the NCTN transition.

Kimberly Williams
Hi, I'm Kimberly Williams (most people call me Kim) and I am the Community Outreach Director for Tamika and Friends, Inc. I met Tamika over six years ago while a member of National Council of Negro Women –Greater Washington Millennium Section. After hearing her story, I wanted to become involved. Educating others about their health is something I truly enjoy doing.
My primary role in the organization is to plan outreach events such as the HPV events. I was instrumental in orchestrating our first cervical cancer outreach initiative in April 2005. We were able to inform and empower over 50 women about HPV and cervical cancer by arranging HPV parties in MD and in Atlanta. During the month of May, I planned an HPV pledge party during Women's Health Week, where we celebrated and rewarded women who made a pledge to be tested for HPV. Since then we've done many educational events and reached hundreds of women.
Our HPV events have been quite successful to reach a variety of women. They are fun, entertaining and most importantly informative.
Tamika and I would love to help you host an HPV event. Please contact me to schedule an event at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Easy to make Christmas ornaments, like this Cookie Sheet Ornament, make great gift tags and hostess gifts for the holidays. You can also customize this unique ornament for any holiday!
- Rectangular plastic baby food lid, mason jar lid, or any lid you'd like
- Thin plastic
- DecoArt Multi-purpose Sealer
- FolkArt Copper Metallic paint
- Cookie stickers or mini gingerbread ornaments
- Paint brushes
- Foam glue
- Glue Dots
- Fine sandpaper
- Assemble supplies. Start with a clean plastic rectangle baby food lid (I used Gerber). The inside of the lid is not level and you need to make an insert. Make a template with paper.
- Trace the template on a thin piece of plastic. Try looking for cheap plastic dividers or folders at dollar stores. Cut out and check fit.
- Glue in place using a THIN layer of Foam Glue. Allow to dry at least overnight, if the glue is too thick it several days for the glue to dry.
- Rough up surface with sandpaper (or emery board). Dust.
- Then prime with DecoArt Multi-purpose Sealer. Mix the sealer half and half with the paint per label instructions. Allow to dry thoroughly. Or follow directions on bottle for painting plastic. This is an essential step – without this base coat the paint will "skin" very easily and peel off the "cookie sheet".
- Paint both sides (allow one side to dry completely before painting the other side) and edges of the lid with FolkArt Copper Metallic paint. Allow to dry for 1 hour.
- Apply a second coat of paint if needed. Allow to dry.
- Now you are ready to place your "cookies" on the sheet. Apply cookie stickers in a regular pattern. When placing stickers stick them lightly to the cookie sheet leaving an edge up until you get the placement right. When you are satisfied with how the arrangement, go back and stick them down tightly. Or use Glue Dots to adhere mini gingerbread ornaments to cookie sheet.
- Attach a ribbon hanger to the back.

The Early Stuart Masque
Dance, Costume, and Music
studies take a fresh look at works by Ben Jonson, Samuel Daniel, Thomas Carew, John Milton, William Davenant, and others, showing how court poets collaborated with tailors, designers, technicians, choreographers, and aristocratic as well as professional performers to create a dazzling event. Based on extensive
archival research on the households of Queen Anne and Queen Henrietta Maria, special chapters highlight the artistic and financial control of Stuart queens over their masques and pastorals. Many plates and figures from German, Austrian, French, and English archives illustrate accessibly-written introductions to costume conventions, early dance styles, male and female performers, the dramatic symbolism of colours, and stage design in performance. With splendid costumes and choreographies,
masques once appealed to the five senses. A tribute to their colourful brilliance, this book seeks to recover a lost dimension of performance culture in early modern England. - ;Ravelhofer breaks new ground in exploring how masques actually worked...This is a valuable study full of new information culled from a range of sources. - R. Malcolm Smuts Kritikon Litterarum;...a work of exceptional range and substance, which takes the study of the masque to an altogether new level...a book rich with fascinating material...the most important study of the masque to appear for a long time. - John Peacock Theatre Notebook;This attractively written book fills in so many of the gaps in our knowledge of the Stuart masque that it will be indispensable to scholars of the genre. - The Seventeenth Century;Well beyond previous work in the subtlety and rigor of its analysis. - Kritikon;fresh and enlightening.... This study will be a necessary point of reference for anyone interested in the richness of the multimedia experience which was the Stuart Court Masque. - Archiv f--uuml--;r das Studium der neueren Sprachen und Literaturen;A worthy tribute ... a dazzling array of familiar and unfamiliar material. - The Yearbook of English Studies;Ravelhofer's research is both thorough and original ... she interlaces technical descriptions of dance moves with sensational, well-documented adventures ... well worth a reader's attention. - H-Net Reviews;a book of rare importance. - Renaissance Quarterly;Scrupulously researched...Ravelhofer offers a treasure trove of information that will remain an influential resource for years to come. - Shakespeare Quarterly;pioneering work ... an excellent study which promises to become standard literature on the court masque - Shakespeare Jahrbuch;...an impressive and handsome book that makes a fine contribution to masque scholarship...[Ravelhofer] has done a fantastic job. - The Review of English Studies, Vol. 57, No. 232;Ravelhofer's book enormously extends our knowledge of these fields, bringing new sources to bear, and valuably reading English sources within an international perspective. - NTQ, Volume 23/3less

Europa League Betting
If it is variation you are after, then look no further than the Europa League odds.
While the Champions League (or its predecessor the European Cup) boasts 21 different winners since its beginnings in 1951, the Europa League (previously known as the UEFA Cup) beats that number of successful teams by five, despite not being established until 20 years later.
And with four first-time winners in the last six years (Sevilla, Zenit St Petersburg, Shakhtar Donetsk and Atletico Madrid) that trend shows no sign of stopping.
Europa League boasts more variety of winners
Last season Porto prevailed in a tight encounter over their Portuguese rivals Braga, as Andre Villas-Boas teed up a future Premier League job at Chelsea by claiming an impressive treble with the Portuguese champions.
Meanwhile, top scorer Radomel Falcao also used the victory as a springboard to potentially bigger things by sealing a move to Atletico Madrid.
It was Porto's second Europa League/UEFA Cup win, putting them only one success behind Juventus, Inter and Liverpool who have all won this trophy three times, with the Reds the last of this trio to succeed back in 2001.
PSG, Lazio and Athletic Bilbao are contenders in the Europa League betting
Of the teams to feature in the Europa League betting this season, it is Paris Saint-Germain who are perhaps the most likely to triumph for the first time after a big-spending summer acquiring the likes of Argentine playmaker Javier Pastore. Elsewhere, Lazio, Athletic Bilbao and even Stoke will feel they are reasonable contenders in terms of securing Europa League glory.

Hydro plant faces tough battle at council-A A +A
Wednesday, May 28, 2014
A MULTI-MILLION dollar hydropower plant proposed to be set up in Davao City is facing a tough battle at the City Council after some officials frowned on the proposed project.
This developed even as Mayor Rodrigo Duterte refused to comment on the planned entry of a power company eyeing to construct a 140-megawatt hydropower plant in barangays Gumalang and Lamanan in Calinan District.
"Naa pa na sa City Council eh. Pagabot sa panahon, I will tell you nganong akong pirmahan o nganong dili nako pirmahan (It's still in the City Council. I will tell you soon why I sign or not sign it)," Duterte briefly said when asked about the project.
Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte said that based on the committee hearings conducted, the proposed hydropower plant will be using massive water from Davao River and Tamugan River and that it will also be diverting the used water to other areas instead of returning it to the rivers.
Duterte said this will greatly affect the water level of the two rivers especially that of Tamugan, which is one of the protected watershed areas in the city and source of drinking water for the people of Davao.
"Ang bug-at diha ang decision making kung tugtan ba. Tubig man gud atong giistoryahan (What's difficult here is the decision-making on our part. We are dealing with water resource here)," the young Duterte said.
He said the construction and operation of the $500-$600 million proposed hydropower plant might cause harm to the environment.
The vice mayor said he already advised the committee on environment and natural resources to conduct a comprehensive hearing and ensure that all experts and stakeholders are consulted.
The proposed project is aimed at alleviating not only the power need of Mindanao but also ease the flooding problem in the city.
Oscar Violago, president of San Lorenzo Builders and Developers Group Inc., said their proposed hydropower plant will be located at barangays Gumalang and Lamanan in Calinan District. He said they will be sourcing their water mainly from the Davao River and only a fraction from Tamugan River.
He said they will build a "low-dam," which is only about 25 meters high at elevation of 209 meters, which is below the 300-meter threshold for the recharging zones of the Davao water aquifers.
Thus, the fear of most communities for possible flooding when the dam releases water during rainy season is far from happening, he said.
Violago said that contrary to the fear of some, the dam could even ease the flooding problem in the city since they will divert huge volume of water from the Davao River to their hydroelectric dam, thus decreasing the influx of huge volume of water directly to the Davao River especially during heavy rains in Calinan area.
The project cost is estimated to be around $500-600 million. The city stands to earn P300-500 million a year from taxes for the said project, Violago said.
The San Lorenzo Builders was behind the $680 million Casecnan Multi-purpose Irrigation and Power Project in Pantabangan, Nueva Ecija which is now a first-class municipality.
The project is one of the largest irrigation and hydroelectric facilities in the Philippines with a 26-kilometer transbasin tunnel. It provides electricity to 350,000 homes and irrigation water to 137,000 hectares of farmlands.

Educated Guesswork has an insightful response to the ongoing Grey Album controversy (Infringing mixes). The proposal is that rather than distribute the fully remixed version of the Beatle's White Album with Jay-Z's Black Album, one could distribute the mechanical instructions for remixing the albums: a remix recipe if you will. Those interested in the Grey Album would have to have access to both the White Album and Black Album in order to make use of the recipe, but the traditional elements of copyright would not be implicated in such a scheme. I believe that this is a brilliant model for our rip-mix-burn culture.
Of course, despite the fact that the traditional elements of copyright are not implicated, copyright holders do not like this vision of the remixed future. Indeed, that is one of the major issues in question in the ongoing "Clean Flicks" case involving similar technology used with DVDs. I say, let a thousand edits bloom, let us hurry the future of digital annotations.
I agree, that is a terrific idea. The mixmeister would release some kind of recipe which would show how to do the mix, and you could have a mix program which would take this data along with the source music and create the final product, the new remix. This would actually increase sales of the copyrighted source materials so it should be a proposal that could be endorsed by them. It's in conflict with the European "moral rights of authors" principle but that hasn't taken hold too heavily in the U.S. yet.
It also reminds me of hypertext pioneer Ted Nelson's Xanadu concept, which was built on "transclusion". This was virtual inclusion, incorporation of data by reference rather than by copy. And then the system would take care of the accounting so that transcluded data would automatically get royalties as appropriate. I don't think we'll ever see Nelson's idea in its original form but this could be a particular domain where it might work.
Now, if something like this catches on, does it address some of the opposition to copyright based on the limitations that it puts on new works? One of the arguments put forth by Lessig for enlarging the public domain is that it can serve as the foundation for new kinds of creative output. If copyrighted documents could similarly be used, but in such a way that owners got their royalties, then copyright would no longer be such a barrier to derivative artistic efforts.Posted by Cypherpunk on February 17, 2004 08:58 PM | Permalink to Comment
Sounds cool on paper - this is how the "lame" MP3 encoder is distributed - as a series of patches against Fraunhofer's source code. But this isn't source code - this is music. How could any computer recipe possibly encapsulate the Grey Album in all its turns, spontaneiety, sudden twists? Even the very idea of a notation that could accurately describe the musical progression of something this complex defies imagination.Posted by Scot Hacker on February 25, 2004 08:43 AM | Permalink to Comment
How do you think that DJ Dangermouse created the Grey Album in the first place? At a minimum, recording his digital manipulations of the source and having access to the source should be enough to permit others to replicate the creation on their own systems.Posted by Ernest Miller on February 25, 2004 02:42 PM | Permalink to Comment
Ernest, Dangermouse sure didn't use a recipe or formula to create this mix. It's a piece of music, an aesthetic creation. Dangermouse himself could never reproduce it the same way twice. 1) No notation or technology exists for this kind of performance, and even if it did, it would be limited to a certain level of simplicity - nothing remotely approaching this level of complexity could be entered into the system (unless computers could somehow be told to listen to the two sources and deconstruct the mix technique, but now we're really out in the left field of impossibility). To imagine that a recipe like this would be possible is to take an exceptionally reductionistic view of the music (not that I think the Grey Album is great music, but it certainly is remixology of mind boggling complexity).
My full thoughts on the album are here:
Why are you confusing the difficulty in creating the mix with the difficulty to express it.
It does not matter how the mix was created. Once that is done, you can mechanically represent the difference between it and its sources. The representation of that needs only convey the final result (take 1s of source A, apply this filter, paste at 3s from begginning, etc) without any regard to how the creator actually did it.Posted by Rodrigo G on March 10, 2004 05:12 PM | Permalink to Comment
Scott Hacker is right, it would be virtually impossible to recreate, even with the proper technology. The listener would also need to know how to scratch, for example, and be willing to invest countless hours to get one milisecond of sound to use in a loop. This "recipie" idea is ludicrous, I'm sorry. Just because I have a guitar doesn't mean I know how to play it.Posted by Matthew on March 24, 2004 08:01 PM | Permalink to Comment
You don't get it. You don't have to scratch or play the guitar to make the mix. If the mix was created digitally (which many are now), then you just have to save what the computer did to the original sound. No talent necessary.Posted by Ernest Miller on March 24, 2004 08:30 PM | Permalink to Comment
The recipe idea is fantastic, mainly because it wouldn't be like telling a person how to mix these two albums into a new album. That is improbable and kind of absurd for mass replication. But, and this is really exciting, if a programmer could develope a piece of software that could save the mix into a sort of encryption code, and then that code could be disseminated...all you'd need is the software, the codes and the source music. God that would be cool.Posted by jimiarch on March 25, 2004 03:33 PM | Permalink to Comment
I saw Dangermouse on MTV and they showed how he made the Gray Album. It's good old Sonic Foundry (now Sony) ACID Pro all the way. So for this to work he could release his .acd files - they tell ACID how to sequence the samples and what effects to apply and so on, but do not contain any actual copyrighted information - along with detailed instructions on how to recreate the samples. Re-assembly would be tedious, but someone could create a special CD ripper program which automates the process. Put in the CDs, start it up, an hour later you have all the samples.Posted by Ian S. on March 26, 2004 04:33 PM | Permalink to Comment
Reminds me of an early failed Web plugin - around 1995 Voyager made a plugin that could be used to author web pages using a specific CD the end user inserted - then based on programming commands the CD could play fragments, phrases or loops of the CD. It was conceived as a learning tool - play and dissect a classical CD, or build a web page to use samples of a specific CD. I fooled around with deconstructing some Pink Floyd and I talked a progammer into making a tool that would deconstruct any CD by playing loops and gradually slipping into different areas of the disk as it looped. The CD-Link tool never went anywhere because Voyager never offered an authoring tool and authoring manually was tedious. And the couldn't figure out how to make money on it. And it fell by the wayside.
But - imagine a web plugin or stand-alone software like this in the context of the Grey Album discussion here. Imagine being able to author some music based on the premise that the end user owns or at least has copies of the actual CDs used. Insert a CD or two and the loops are queued into RAM and then mixed and matched as per the "recipe".
This would seem to overcome the copyright issues because it would be just distributing instructions sets used to manipulate the source material.
On the other hand, the controversy over new DVD players that v-chip-like live-edit out the nasty bits of a DVD seems like a similar idea in some ways and is facing some lawsuits on copyright issues over re-interpreting the movies.
I think that software that authored looped works based on songs still on legit source CDs would be an interesting twist. Imagine an Acid-like tool that let you make your own loops on the fly from live manipulatino of CDs?Posted by Mal Humes on April 23, 2004 04:28 AM | Permalink to Comment

Happy Father's Day!
"My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, 'You're tearing up the grass.' 'We're not raising grass,' Dad would reply. 'We're raising boys.'" ~Harmon Killebrew
What is a Dad?
A dad is someone who
wants to catch you before you fall
but instead picks you up,
brushes you off,
and lets you try again.
A dad is someone who
wants to keep you from making mistakes
but instead lets you find your own way,
even though his heart breaks in silence
when you get hurt.
A dad is someone who
holds you when you cry,
scolds you when you break the rules,
shines with pride when you succeed,
and has faith in you even when you fail…
Happy Fathers Day!

Media Tip from the American Camp Association
January 16, 2009
Keeping Camp Costs Budget-Friendly
Most parents were well aware of the recession long before the official announcement in late 2008. Many families have taken steps to trim any "fat" from their budgets – the purse strings are simply pulled too tight to factor in a night at the go-cart track or that family trip to the Grand Canyon. Parents may not realize that even with tightening budgets, the life-changing experience of camp is still within reach.
"I'm a great believer in you don't have to go to the most expensive camp to have a great camp experience," said Phil Lilienthal, former camp director of Camp Winnebago in Maine and Global Camps Africa CEO. If you're dealing with an experienced and caring staff of camp counselors, "you can have a program in a parking lot, and it can be great," he said.
Parents looking for budget-friendly camps should keep the following in mind:
- The ACA camp community generates $39 million annually for camp scholarships. Don't be afraid to call the camp director and ask if financial assistance is available.
- Contact your area's regional office of the American Camp Association. Go to www.CampParents.org [1] and click on the Local Offices link at the bottom of the page.
- Check with your church or synagogue.
- Get in touch with social services groups in your community.
- Visit individual camp Web sites. Most clearly outline whether or not they offer financial assistance for their campers.
Contact Public Relations at 765.349.3317 or email@example.com [2] to interview an ACA spokesperson [3] for more information about making camp more affordable. For customizable public service announcements [4] or article reprints [5], visit our Media Center [6] at http://www.ACAcamps.org/media_center/ [6].

The conference will bring together some of the nation's top child development experts to discuss The Power of the Experience. Keynote speakers include Ned Hallowell, MD, psychiatrist and author of CrazyBusy: Overbooked, Overstretched, and About to Snap and Linda Perlstein, veteran writer for the Washington Post and author of two books, Not Much Just Chillin': The Hidden Lives of Middle Schoolers and Tested: One American School Struggles to Make the Grade.

Today's children are expected to learn things that we would have learned much later in life because of the No Child Left Behind program. The children are all tested on a standardized test. While it is good to know where a child is in their learning, it is not the best thing to focus solely on the testing scores. Some children's skills cannot be reflected on any kind of standardized testing.
There are some districts that are cutting back on things that should really still be taught in our schools. The Los Angeles school district has cut cursive writing from its curriculum. While it is true that not many people use cursive now because of technology, why should that stop us from teaching the children something that could actually be used in day-to-day lives?

Harvard economist (and former chair of Bush's Council of Economic Advisors) Greg Mankiw is by all accounts a very smart man, but like bloggers high and low, he is not above resorting to the labor-saving device of posting emails he's received. Take, for example, this political parable, which was sent to him by a student in his introductory economics class:
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.
So, that's what they decided to do.
The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. "Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20." Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?' They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay. And so:
The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28% savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).
Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.
"I only got a dollar out of the $20," declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man," but he got $10!"
"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!"
"That's true!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!"
"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!"
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.
The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!
And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.
Leave aside the marvelously sophomoric (in the literal sense) metaphor-tax policy as beer consumption!-and the obvious problem that quite a few government services are less elective than chugging brewskies. It's telling that at the crucial pivot of the story Mankiw's undergraduate correspondent has to abandon any real-life parallel altogether and have the nine less-well-off men "beat up" the wealthiest, something not even the most aggressive advocate of progressive taxation is likely to countenance. (He/she later tries to muddy the distinction with "attack.") I guess if the nine bibitory ingrates had confined themselves to verbal criticism, it might have somewhat undercut the nobility of the hero's patriotic decision to take his beer mug and move abroad.
Bonus Mankiw tweak: Take a look at his Wikipedia page and see whether you think it looks like he wrote most of it himself. ("His blog receives more than 1.7 million hits per year.")
