Miyazaki, Japan, 2015/03/31 - GE Energy Financial Services and Virginia Solar Group subsidiary Pacifico Energy have partnered for a third time to construct a solar power project in Japan - PacificoEnergy.jp / GEEnergyFinancialServices.com. NYSE: GE
GE Energy Financial Services and Virginia Solar Group will jointly invest equity in a 96.2-megawatt (DC) photovoltaic solar plant, with GE Energy Financial Services commitment totaling ¥7.5 billion. Construction of the plant is underway in Hosoe on Kyushu Island, in the prefecture of Miyazaki. A ¥35 billion term loan facility with a 22-year tenor led by The Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. as the sole and exclusive mandated lead arranger was provided on a non recourse project finance basis with a syndicate of 12 Japanese financial institutions. Additional transaction details have not been disclosed.
Pacifico Energy is the project developer managing construction and operations of Hosoe, which is being built on 140 hectares of land that was originally intended for a golf course. Once complete, it will be the largest solar power plant on Kyushu Island and consist of approximately 300,000 photovoltaic modules supplied by Trina Solar. Toyo Engineering Corporation is the construction company on the project, and Asahi Dengyo is providing operations and maintenance services. In addition to capital, GE is supplying the project with 50 units of 1.26-megawatt Brilliant solar inverters, which eliminate the need for an intermediate transformer, resulting in higher conversion efficiency and superior grid performance.
Hosoe is expected to begin commercial operations in the spring of 2018 and will sell its power to Kyushu Electric Power Company under a 20-year power purchase agreement. It is expected to generate enough clean energy to power up to 30,000 households and avoid 68,200 tons of CO2 emissions per year. By 2020, Japan aims to have 20 percent of its energy generated from renewable power sources, a goal which is supported by the countrys regulatory policies and feed-in tariff. Sushil Verma, a managing director and head of Asia Pacific at GE Energy Financial Services, notes that Hosoe is the third transaction between GE Energy Financial Services and Pacifico Energy that contributes to the countrys renewable energy goals.
We aim to continue helping Japan achieve a diversified power mix. Working with reliable and regional counterparties supports our international expansion and renewable energy investment commitments, Verma says.
GE Energy Financial Services has made equity and debt investment commitments of $1.9 billion in nearly two gigawatts of solar power projects worldwide, and plans to continue to invest over $1 billion annually in renewable energy projects. Hosoe is the fourth Japan solar project in which GE Energy Financial Services has invested since last May. Last year, the company invested in Pacifico Energys Kumenan and Mimasaka Musashi solar projects in May and December respectively, and in September, the GE unit helped finance Japans largest solar project, which is being built in Setouchi City.
Kazuomi Kaneto, president of Pacifico Energy K.K. added We are excited about partnering again with GE on Japans third largest solar power plant, and the largest in the country which is invested 100 percent by foreign financial institutions. This investment, leveraging the extensive development experience of our team, helps Japan achieve 20 percent of its power generated from renewable sources.
Pacifico Energy has started construction on 75 megawatts (DC) of solar power projects in Japan in 2014 and is set to start construction in early 2015 on another 149 megawatts (DC). The company currently has another 300 megawatts (DC) in development.

Defenseman Mirco Mueller, the 18th player taken overall in the 2013 draft on June 30, got his first taste of the NHL experience and indicated he came away impressed with everything from the coaching staff to the training facility.
Camp competition, he added, was at a high level.
"It makes yourself better if you have to keep up," said Mueller, 18, a native of Switzerland with a strong command of English. "We've learned a lot. There's different players and different ages. They've played in different leagues. I know I want to ask them things and it's a really exciting time for me."
Plans call for Mueller to return to Everett, Wash., of the WHL, where he'll be playing for onetime Sharks coach Kevin Constantine. The two haven't met yet as Constantine is returning to Everett for a second coaching stint.
Before he gets back to the WHL, Mueller expects to be returning to San Jose for training camp in September.
"First time practicing with the big guys, with the stars," he said. "It'd be a great thing for me."

Jump to Section: BONUSES > GAMES > LOCALE > BANKING > MOBILE > HITS & MISSES > CONCLUSION
If you're a lover of progressive titles, Royal Vegas could just be the venue for you - Canadian players have won some of the site's biggest prizes this year. Royal Vegas is a Microgaming casino so has hundreds of games to choose from, lots of which are also available on mobile devices.
Playing At Royal Vegas Casino In Canada
Interesting promotions run throughout the year at Royal Vegas casino.
A member of the award-winning Fortune Lounge Group of online gaming sites, Royal Vegas casino boasts hundreds of amazing slots, table games and bonuses to die for.
Plenty of Canadian real-money gamblers have taken down some huge progressive jackpots in 2017, and the sheer size of the prizes proves just how popular the casino is.
So, is Royal Vegas casino just a load of progressives, or is there more to the site than that? Let's take a closer look. Here are the main benefits:
- Excellent Microgaming software and games
- Amazing range of customer support options
- Superb free welcome bonus worth C$1200
Royal Vegas supports all devices: PC, Mac OS, Windows, no-download, iOS, Android and BlackBerry.
Bonuses and Promotions
There's a great welcome bonus worth C$1,200 when you sign up to Royal Vegas right now. The bonus is reserved for new players only and is split into three separate deposit bonuses.
- 1st Deposit Bonus - 100% Match Bonus, up to C$250
- 2nd Deposit Bonus - 25% Match Bonus, up to C$200
- 3rd Deposit Bonus - 50% Match Bonus, up to C$750
Meanwhile, as with other Fortune Lounge casinos, there's a four-tiered Loyalty Program on offer at Royal Vegas. Earning 75,000 points a month will see you maintain Diamond level, and for that you get 100,000 bonus points for playing on your birthday, faster points earning, and the ability to redeem points for cash. Other promotions include the Fortune Lounge Cruise promotion, where players able to win a share of $1,000,000 in prizes, including vouchers to fantastic cruise trips.
Great Casino Games and Slots
It wouldn't be a top Microgaming casino without some great Microgaming online slots. As well as crowd favourites like Avalon, Hitman and Thunderstruck II, Canadian players can enjoy amazing progressive jackpot slots like Mega Moolah and Major Millions.
Indeed, Royal Vegas has seen some of the biggest progressives of the past 12 months go to Canadian real-cash players.
Real-money players can also enjoy exclusive 'Megaspin' slots where you play several slots simultaneously for the chance of even bigger wins.
It's not just in slots that Royal Vegas Casino delivers. There's a full range of online roulette and blackjack on offer, with baccarat, craps and video poker also available.

Languages and Currency
Royal Vegas casino offers gaming action in both French and English, making the site perfect for players across Canada. You can even deposit using CAD, or convert money into USD or Euros if you prefer.
Unfortunately, Royal Vegas Casino is off limits to players from the U.S., but Canadians are welcome. CAD is one of the accepted forms of currency (along with USD, AUD, EUR, and GBP). French is one of many supported languages.
Canada Payment Methods
Like any top gambling website, Royal Vegas Casino offers the full gamut of deposit methods for players. Traditional cards like VISA and MasterCard are accepted, along with popular e-Wallets like Skrill/Moneybookers and NETELLER. Instant transfer methods like Click2Pay, entroPay, EcoCard and Ukash are all accepted.
Royal Vegas Mobile App
Unfortunately, the selection of Royal Vegas games available on mobile isn't even close to what they offer in their main casino. You'll find around 30 games, and most of these are slots because it's notoriously difficult to port table games for use on mobile devices.
Don't worry though, it isn't all bad news. Royal Vegas mobile players can access games on a wide range of devices including iPhone (and iPad), Android and BlackBerry. Unlike most online casinos, which offer responsive versions of their sites for use on mobile, Royal Vegas provides dedicated apps for Apple and Android devices from the Apple Store and Play Store.
- Android Phone
- Blackberry
- iPad
- iPhone
- Windows Phone
If don't want to download any apps, or you'd rather playing using a responsive version of the site for some other reason, you'll be pleased to know that you can do this just by visiting the Royal Vegas mobile casino website from a smartphone or tablet device - this is bound to prove useful if you use a Windows Phone, Fire tablet, Samsung or Galaxy device.
Royal Vegas Casino Hits and Misses
Royal Vegas is a popular site and its high payouts and bonuses reflect that. While a safe and modern gaming experience is on offer, gamers can be sticklers for details when it comes to choosing an online casino. Our experts list of the pros and cons below should help.
- C$1,200 welcome bonus
- Comprehensive loyalty program
- Attractive gameplay
- Microgaming slots
- English and French support
- Not the biggest range of games
- Some payment types aren't offered
After it is all set and done, Royal Vegas Casino remains a top choice for players from Canada. The high rating resulted from the review made by our team of experts is no coincidence as this Microgaming-powered online casino covers everything very nicely. With mobile gaming being a big thing right now, the site presents sections for connecting on apps for iOS, Android and BlackBerry within seconds, while the list marks the mobile friendly games accordingly. From new releases to the established progressives, Royal Vegas Casino players can enjoy it all from their smartphones.
For new players, the welcome bonus is what stands out the most as it goes up to C$1,200 for the first three deposits. The details show that it is a standard offer which can result in a decent amount of free money for experiencing the games in a more relaxed manner. And once the first bet is made, the reward program will kick in to offer benefits for no extra cost.
The Royal online casino has been offering real money games in Canada since 2000 and its history makes it very reliable. Not to mention that it has a license from the Malta Gaming Authority and has been verified by eCOGRA for game fairness and security.
Customer Service
There's a great range of contact methods available to Royal Vegas players. As well as a solid Live Chat option on the site, available 24/7, Canadians can contact the team via email or phone. There's a 24-hour wait on email responses, but we found the support team to be knowledgeable and friendly. As added alternatives, players can use iMessage or WhatsApp to get in touch, putting Royal Vegas at the head of useful methods of contact.

Wright-Patt Credit Union, which services more than 230,000 members in Southwest Ohio, is bringing a state-of-the-art branch banking experience to its members, beginning in February 2013. Using APTRA Interactive Teller from NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR), Wright-Patt members will be able to conduct remote, assisted-teller transactions over an ATM, interacting live with a centralized Wright-Patt teller who has control of the machine. Wright-Patt will begin testing 19 APTRA Interactive Teller units in a variety of locations, including existing and new branch lobbies, branch drive-throughs, and off-site locations. APTRA Interactive Teller is part of NCR's assisted service suite of solutions, combining the best of video collaboration and remote transaction-processing technology on an ATM. Through Interactive Teller, members will be able to connect and interact with a remote teller in a highly personalized, two-way audio/video experience. Financial institutions that have already installed Interactive Teller have used the remote teller service to instantly and efficiently deploy extra service capability to help reduce teller wait times during busy times of the day, offer teller services after the branch has closed, and add branch services in areas where they do not have a branch presence. "We believe that NCR's technology will help us increase our members' convenience and access to teller services," said Darrick Weeks, chief operating officer, Wright-Patt Credit Union. "What we liked about NCR's solution was that it was a direct interaction with a live teller who has complete control of the ATM, rather than just verbal assistance from a remote employee. Interactive Teller is easy to use and intuitive, and we are optimistic that it will provide a great experience to our members." Wright-Patt will install 12 walk-up units in branch lobbies and off-site locations, and seven additional units in branch drive-throughs. Beyond talking to a teller, Interactive Teller offers more services than can be conducted on an ATM or other self-service devices. For instance, customers can perform secure transactions without using a traditional ATM card and, like branch tellers, remote tellers can provide customers access to cash in their accounts in amounts over the standard ATM daily cash withdrawal limits. Approximately 95 percent of all teller transactions can be performed via Interactive Teller in addition to the usual product sales and service that an in branch teller provides.

Wet 'n' Wild MegaChrome & H2o Proof Eyeliners Review, Photos, Swatches
Cobalt Blue, Antique Amethyst, Gold Pewter; Denim Chrome
Quick Reviews: Wet 'n' Wild MegaChrome & H2o Proof Eyeliners
Wet 'n' Wild MegaChrome Eyeliners ($2.99 for 0.04 oz.) and Wet 'n' Wild H2O Proof Eye Pencil ($2.99 for 0.03 oz.) were both products that did not work for me. Both formulas smudged terribly on me after less than an hour of wear–since they gave me raccoon eyes so quickly, I went through all four in a day, but nothing lasted for more than an hour. All four pencils were also a bit hard; I would definitely recommend wearing down the tip on the back of your hand before using them, but they're still not overly soft, so they can tug a bit.
Pigmentation was also problematic; it was decent in the MegaChrome Eyeliners but dismal in the H2O Proof Eye Pencil. They tend to apply patchy and need another pass or two (or three…) to get the right color intensity and evenness. For a waterproof formula, Denim Chrome couldn't even last long enough to make it to a water test!
- Cobalt Blue is a blackened navy blue.
- Antique Amethyst is a blackened plum purple.
- Gold Pewter is a true yellow gold with a soft metallic finish.
- Denim Chrome is a medium-dark blue with silver glitter.
Welcome to Swatch-all-idays! To start 2011 off on the right foot (or post, as it may be!), Temptalia is going through a backlog of products we have photographed, swatched, and often tested but in a slightly different manner. Quick reviews may be partially incomplete, such as a blush may only be swatched on the arm rather than shown on the face. It is our hope that what we are able to provide is still helpful!

(GREEN BAY, Wis.) — The New York Giants came into Green Bay as a confident bunch and will be headed to San Francisco after their 37-20 beating of last year's Super Bowl champion.
Eli Manning threw for 330 yards and three touchdown passes on Sunday. He's hoping the same result comes from this game as it did four years ago after the Giants beat the Packers in the NFC Championship game.
"We're always confident going into a game. It doesn't matter what happened in the regular season," said Manning. "We've been through games where we've lost to teams and faced them in the playoffs again and come out and played well. Our team is playing well; our guys understand the way to win football games."
The Giants went up by 10 at halftime due to a 37-yard hail Mary play that wide receiver Hakeem Nicks snatched up from the sky to give New York a 20-10 lead.
"I knew Eli could put it in the end zone from where he was at," said Nicks. "It was just a matter of me going up to get it."
With the win, they'll play Sunday against the 49ers, the only team left in their quest for another shot at a Super Bowl.
"I think we're a dangerous team," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said of his 'road warriors'. "I like where we are and how we're playing."

Since 2003, Music@Menlo's Arts Management Internship Program has provided college students and recent college graduates with the opportunity to learn what goes on behind the scenes at an internationally acclaimed music festival. Each summer, Music@Menlo hires approximately twenty-five interns to assist with all areas of the organization, including Merchandising, Development, Hospitality, Patron Services and Donor Stewardship, Publications and Publicity, Production, Student Services, and Operations. Music@Menlo interns work side-by-side with the festival's staff and are highly visible members of the Music@Menlo team.
An internship with Music@Menlo offers invaluable training and mentorship towards a professional career in arts management, production, digital media, or nonprofit administration. Through on-the-job training and hands-on experience, interns will build practical experience and develop professional skills to take them into the next stage of their career development. In keeping with Music@Menlo's mission, a unique component of the internship program is a series of educational seminars on various topics including marketing in the arts, strategic planning for nonprofit organizations, fundraising, and career development. Though primarily arts-focused, the main themes of these sessions apply across many disciplines. Most seminars take place prior to July 1.
Through project-based, hands-on work, the summer experience allows interns to learn skills in project management, customer service, communication, and planning. In addition, interns receive the following:
Former interns have gone on to work in the field of arts management at such institutions as San Francisco Symphony, San Francisco Performances, the New York Philharmonic, Carnegie Hall, Seattle Opera, and the Metropolitan Opera Guild as well as other fields in both the for-profit and nonprofit sectors.

Finance minister P Chidambaram would introduce a "Bill further to amend the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992, the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 and the Depositories Act, 1996", according to legislative business listed in the Lok Sabha for Monday.
Besides, the minister would lay in the House an explanatory statement showing the reasons for immediate legislation (Securities Laws Amendment Bill, 2013) by promulgation of the securities laws.
Last month, President Pranab Mukherjee had promulgated an ordinance amending the securities law that would provide more powers to the capital market watchdog.
Following the amendments, Sebi would have more powers to crack down on ponzi schemes, seek phone call records to check insider trading and carry out search and seizure operations.
In July, the government had said that promulgation of the ordinance demonstrated its firm commitment and resolve to act with speed and alacrity to curb irregularities and frauds in the securities market.
"The government believes these amendments would give Sebi the legal backing to clamp down on unscrupulous entities that are using newer methods to take gullible investors for a ride," the government had said in an release.
As per the amended law, Sebi can regulate any money pooling scheme worth R100 crore or more and attach assets in cases of non-compliance, it said, adding the Sebi Chairman would have the authority to order "search and seizure operations".
The market watchdog would also have powers to seek information, such as telephone call data records, from any persons or entities in respect to any securities transaction being investigated by it.

At age 61, natural sagginess was inevitablel but I had lost consideralbe amount of weight during a stressful time. I really didn't like how my breasts had drooped and lost firmness.
Got a breast lift with augmentation, but then got grade 3 capsular contracture, which was improve with manual pressure but still not completely gone: hardness and pain still a problem. Doctor did the manual manipulation which did help but I still have some hardness and mishappen breast.
Also had problems with nipple on that breast because I had quit smoking 2 wks before as recommended but apparently not soon enough; nipple turned black and took a very long time to heal and does not look very nice. But at least the fullness is nice above even if not visually what I had hoped for.I get stinging sensations around the nipple and achiness in breast. The "good" breast also gets occasional stinging sensations around the incisions. How long should I expect these feelings to last?

I definitely wouldn't advocate magic by default, but I think it would be nice to be able to get the functionality if one wanted to. There is one problem I noticed, however. I found common_type and lib.mintypecode, but both raise errors when trying to find a dtype to match both bool and float. I don't know if there's another function somewhere that would work for what I want. > I'm a bit surprised by the error message you get.

Now, I get the 'two fields w/ the same name' when I use > np.merge_arrays (with the flatten option). Could you send a small > example ? Apparently, I get my error as a result of my use of titles in the dtype to store an alternate name for the field. (If you're not familiar with titles, they're nice because you can get fields by either name, so for the following example, a['a'] and a['A'] both return array([1]).) The following version of your case gives me the ValueError: >>> from numpy.lib.recfunctions import stack_arrays >>> a = ma.array([(1,2,3)], mask=[(0,1,0)], dtype=[(('a','A'),int), (('b','B'),bool), (('c','C'),float)]) >>> b = ma.array([(4,5,6)], dtype=[(('a','A'),int), (('b','B'),float), (('c','C'),float)]) >>> stack_arrays((a,b)) ValueError: two fields with the same name As a side question, do you have some local mods to your numpy SVN so that some of the functions in recfunctions are available in numpy's top level? On mine, I can't get to them except by importing them from numpy.lib.recfunctions. I don't see any mention of recfunctions in lib/__init__.py.

I'm going to respectfully disagree with the two suggestions about a Beretta 92. That is a really BIG gripped, double stack magazine, long dbl action first trigger movement pistol. I think they're the cadillac of pistols. I wouldn't trade mine for the world. But mine is really too big for even my large adult sized mitts. For a youngster, it just might not be a great fit. I can't reach the magazine ejector button without rotating the gun in my hand, for example. The decocker is not intuitive and reachable like a 1911 safety lever. In other words, for me at least, once it's on target and ready to shoot, it's great. But working all the levers and buttons is not at all convenient.
Again, that's just how I see that pistol 2lb 9oz loaded, 1lb 15 oz unloaded if that helps you or anyone compare.

Joe Breal's review published on Letterboxd :
Cohen was absolutely hilarious in Borat and he brought something new and fresh to the world of comedy in film. Bruno was more of the same, but was nowhere near as funny and the homoerotic jokes got real old, real fast. The Dictator is the first of Cohen's films that is entirely scripted, unlike Borat and Bruno. He can't quite pull it off. While the character, Admiral Aladeen, works, nothing else about the film really does, from the Anna Faris character to, well, the jokes. I barely laughed, as most of the jokes were the same old, same old from Cohen and just came across as overdone.

text: As a recent convert to the zone systems way of thinking and working, I am wondering about the use of 35mm and 120 roll film. What if I have a mixture of low and high contrast negatives on one roll? This is particularly likely with 36 exposures, although with only 12 on a 120 film it would be more likely they would all be of similar subject and contrast. Do people simply try and limit using one roll for one type of subject matter and occasion, which might, for example, be predominantly low contrast, and then develop based on the fact that most negatives will benefit from a N+1 development or something? Would be interested to hear how others operate, Thanks Matt


text: Culture 28 February 2000 The wealth of nations. Capitalism, far from being natural and inevitable, can only be created through political intervention. But that doesn't mean we can uninvent it, writes Edward Skidelsky The origin of capitalism Ellen Meiksins Wood Monthly Review Press, 138pp, £13 ISBN 158 Sign up for our weekly email * This little book on the origin of capitalism is an ingenious attempt by a Marxist historian to salvage something from the wreckage of communism. According to the conventional Marxist formula, feudalism gives way to capitalism and capitalism to communism. The whole process unfolds with a kind of dialectical necessity. No one believes any longer in the inevitability of communism; what has survived is a belief in the inevitability of capitalism. So Marxists must change tack and become voluntarists, believers in free will, not determinism. Capitalism, argues Ellen Meiksins Wood, is not inevitable. It is a historical accident. And if it is an accident, it can be undone. Socialism - and Wood is not too explicit about what this amounts to - remains a possibi-lity. Wood's picture of capitalism owes more to the non-Marxist historian Karl Polanyi than it does to the Marxist tradition. In his classic The Great Transformation, Polanyi attacked the view that capitalism is merely an extension of the age-old human practice of exchanging goods for mutual advantage. Instead, he discerned a radical discontinuity between traditional forms of commerce and modern capitalism. In pre-capitalist societies, he argued, economic relations are "embedded" in non-economic activities - customary, religious or political. When two tribesmen exchange gifts they are not thinking simply of profit; they are cementing a friendship or a political alliance. The banquets that punctuate traditional village life are not simply a way of getting rid of surplus produce; they are also a way of propitiating the gods or binding the community. In all such cases, the economic motive is inextricably bound up with other, non-economic motives. Capitalism can only arise once this economic element has been separated out. It requires the creation of an autonomous "economic realm", free from the control of custom, religion and politics, in which the motive of individual profit can operate unhindered. Far from being natural or inevitable, this is a highly unnatural state of affairs. Its establishment requires an act of political intervention, and its maintenance requires continual discipline, both legal and psychological. Wood accuses other economic historians, Marxist as well as classical, of anachronism. They assume, she writes, that the profit motive is basic to human nature and that capitalism is the natural condition of humanity. This forces them to account for its late emergence in terms of various "barriers" and "blockages". Capitalism, by implication, is what is left when the various obstacles to it have been removed. This view is often associated with the claim that merchants are a naturally capitalist class and that the triumph of capitalism over feudalism is the triumph of merchants over nobility. This was the view of Karl Marx. Capitalism, he wrote, grew up in the "interstices of feudalism", in the medieval trading towns, until it "burst asunder" its feudal fetters. But if one accepts Polanyi's view that capitalism is not a continuation of traditional commerce, then there is no reason to look for its origin in the towns or among the merchant class. It arises wherever an economic sphere is distinguished from the spheres of kinship, custom, politics and religion. Wood herself finds its origin in the improving landowners of 17th and 18th-century England, with their policy of abrogating customary privileges in favour of defined property rights. Wood attributes the view that capitalism is natural and inevitable to mainstream classical economics. She is wrong. This jejune view of capitalism was briefly in fashion in the early 1990s, mainly as a result of the collapse of the Soviet bloc, but the masters of classical economics have never been guilty of espousing it. Adam Smith held that human beings have a "natural propensity to truck, barter and exchange". He did not think this natural propensity sufficient in itself to explain the rise of commercial civilisation. The division of labour - the main engine of growth in Smith's economics - has nothing natural about it; indeed, it entails a narrowing of man's natural creative powers. And the natural propensity to trade will be frustrated continually, unless government intervenes to prevent it, by the tendency of producers to band together in price-fixing. "People of the same trade seldom meet together," writes Smith, "but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public." Friedrich Hayek, whose classic, The Road to Serfdom, has been reissued by the Institute of Economic Affairs, held a similar opinion on the unnaturalness of free-market capitalism. Most people, he maintained, are simply not intelligent enough to understand the underlying mechanisms of the free market, and so it will always have to be protected - if necessary by constitutional laws - against calls for its abolition. The views of Smith and Hayek have been confirmed by the recent fiasco in Russia. After the collapse of communism, many economists, both in Russia and in the west, expected capitalism to arise pristine from under the rubble. All that was required was to liberate the "natural propensity to truck, barter and exchange" from its communist fetters. As we know, this has not happened. What has emerged bears more resemblance to Polanyi's pre-capitalist society. Economic relations, far from being liberated, are submerged in social and political ties. Russians even have a special word - blat - for this network of informal economic ties. In retrospect, the failure of capitalism should have been no surprise. A debased feudalism, not capitalism, is all we should have expected to spring from the debris of a vanquished empire. Capitalism requires an additional effort of political will, an effort that - partly because it wasn't thought necessary - was never made. So Wood is right to insist that capitalism is "the late and localised product of very specific historical conditions". But the conclusion she draws from this - that an alternative is available - is invalid. Her error is ultimately logical; it consists in the confusion of two distinct kinds of modality. It is possible that capitalism might never have come into existence. But having come into existence, it is no longer possible for us to renounce it. Things that are not necessary in and of themselves may become necessary once they have been established. One can make a similar observation in relation to modern science: it might never have been invented, but having been invented it cannot be uninvented. In both capitalism and science, mankind discovers and proves a new power - the power to change his natural and social environment according to his will. Realms of life that previously lay under the ban of custom or religion are suddenly opened up to manipulation. We might regret this discovered power, but we can no more renounce it than we can return to childhood. There is another point. Capitalism may be unnatural, but socialism is positively anti-natural. Capitalism is not entailed by, but neither does it frustrate, the natural human impulse to acquire property, to trade it and to pass it on to one's children. Socialism, on the other hand, does frustrate these natural impulses. A socialist would say that none of these is a natural impulse, that there is no such thing as a natural impulse. But this can be contradicted by pointing to the tenacity, often in the face of severe penalties, of the black market under communism. It can also be contradicted by walking around a primary-school playground and observing small huddles of boys avidly swapping football stickers. There you have evidence, in its most innocent form, of Smith's "natural propensity to truck, barter and exchange".

Title: A Lasting Legacy of the Fukushima Rescue Mission, Part 4: Living With the Aftermath
Source: Huffington Post
Author: Roger Witherspoon
Date: March 18, 2013 at 11:09 a ET
[... The USS Ronald] Reagan's crew had been assured that there was no radiation to worry about over the open ocean and, as the ship's navigator, [Maurice Enis] had been led to believe that the radiation was a distinct plume that they could avoid. It was now apparent that the radiation cloud was everywhere, and avoiding it would not always be possible.
On the quarter mile long deck there was another alarming note.
"I had a digital watch," said quartermaster Jaime Plym, "and it suddenly stopped working. Somebody made a crack that radiation would do that. There were five or six of us on deck and everyone looked at their watches — and all the digital watches had stopped. There was one that was real expensive, and it wasn't working either.
"We were laughing at first. But then that petered out and we just sort of looked at each other because it wasn't funny anymore." [...]

Davydenko trips up Roddick in semifinal
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. - When Andy Roddick tried for an encore, Nikolay Davydenko stole the show.
Seeking a successful follow-up to his breakthrough victory over Roger Federer, Roddick instead lost to Davydenko, 7-6 (7-5), 6-2, last night in the semifinals of the
Davydenko's opponent in tomorrow's final will be No. 2-seeded Rafael Nadal, who beat Tomas Berdych, 7-6 (8-6), 6-2.
Roddick was coming off an emotional win 24 hours earlier, when he ended his streak of 11 consecutive losses to Federer. But he was forced into grinding rallies by the fourth-seeded Davydenko, who chased down shots all over the court and served well, facing only one break point.
Standing 6 feet behind the baseline, the Russian began reading Roddick's booming serves well in the second set and rallied from a break down, winning the final five games.
Davydenko is the first Russian man to reach the Key Biscayne final.
Nadal needed seven set points to close out a 73-minute first set against Berdych, then pulled away. Nadal committed no unforced errors in the second set, won 16 of 17 points on his serve, and swept the final 12 points.
Nadal gleefully skipped at the net when he put away a volley to reach match point. He then hit a forehand winner and sank to his knees in jubilation.
In today's women's final, Serena Williams seeks her fifth Key Biscayne title and second in a row when she plays fourth-seeded Jelena Jankovic.
"I've played a great tournament," Williams said. "I'm just happy to be still in it and doing the best I can do. As long as I'm doing the right thing on the court, I feel like I can come out on top, but I just have to make sure I'm doing what's right."

Google Apps Taking a Bite Out of Microsoft's Office Business
And then, there's Office. This was also a practical guarantee in terms of revenue for Microsoft. Every PC basically needed it, and every enterprise essentially had to pony up for it. It was the cash cow to end all cash cows. But what if the world is becoming one where Office isn't vital any longer? That has to be a scary thought for Microsoft and its shareholders, but it's becoming less of a thought and more of a reality. Google's Docs suites is completely free, and even the Apps for business suite is incredibly cheap compared to an Office suite. Toss in the fact that Google's suite has beautiful online collaboration support, and one has to wonder how much longer they'll genuinely need Office.
After some six years on the market, Google's Apps is starting to crossover from start-ups to larger enterprises. As with the Chromebooks entry into enterprise, Google has managed to secure the business of Swiss drug maker Hoffmann-La Roche and at the Interior Department. At both of these places, nearly 100,000 employees have grown used to using Google instead of Office.
Google's business apps cost just $50/year per user, and the company is adding features like crazy to justify the small fee. It supports a wide array of languages and thrives in the cloud, where essentially every enterprise now lives. Microsoft's charging nearly $400 for its suite, which doesn't include integrated e-mail support. Analysts are suggesting that Google's efforts are "gaining traction," and that's bad news for Microsoft. The company's cloud efforts in the Office suite have been lackluster at best, and compared to Google -- which was born in the cloud and on the Internet -- it's unlikely it'll ever catch up.
So, what about you? Have you ditched Office for Google? Would you if you could?

Growing up isn't easy — even when your BFF is a wisecracking dog with his very own URL.
That's the general gist of "Too Short," the first episode of Dog With a Blog's second season. As the title implies, the story revolves around height-challenged Avery (G. Hannelius), who heads back to school only to find that she's the only one who didn't have a growth spurt over the summer. Thankfully, Avery's well-intentioned mother Ellen (Beth Littleford) is there to make the kid feel better about her shortcomings.
Well, maybe not. "I run into the living room, find her sitting on the couch, and say, 'Honey, I hear you're having issues. With your body. Let's talk. Why don't you just point to a part of your body… and we'll talk about it?'" Littleford tells EW, laughing. "Just Just incredibly awkward… And of course, she screams and runs away." Watch that cringe-inducing moment below:
Clearly, Dog With a Blog is heading into slightly more angsty territory this year — which is one of the things Littleford likes most about the series.
"We're setting the stage for the adult relationship" between Avery and Ellen, she says, adding that Dog occupies a unique space on the TV landscape: "There's a void in family shows, shows that we can all watch together. There's kid-coms, or there's stuff that's not appropriate for me to watch with my 8 year old. But this has — you know, we're making Nixon references. We're having emotional moments parents can relate to. So I really love that this show has something for everybody."
Dog With a Blog returns on the Disney Channel tonight, Sept. 20, at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Ask college basketball coaches, in a candid moment, the player they'd least like to lose for an extended period, and you probably won't hear about the beefy center or the leading scorer or the slashing wing or the perimeter shooter.
You'll hear about the veteran point guard.
Steve Fisher nodded.
"If you're honest with yourself," he said, "especially at our level."
It is easy to correlate the sudden twinge in the lower back of junior Xavier Thames on Jan. 2 with the sudden loss of form of a San Diego State basketball team that climbed as high as No. 15 in the Associated Press rankings and was off to the second best start in school history. It is also probably right.
"We miss X," Chase Tapley said. "We miss X a lot."
"We're soldiers out there," Jamaal Franklin said, "and he's our general."
Thames may play Wednesday night at Nevada in a game that takes on enormous ramification after consecutive losses, one of which ranks among the worst in recent memory and plunged the Aztecs out of the AP Top 25 for the first time in 23 consecutive polls. Or he may not. Fisher doesn't know. The doctors don't know. Thames doesn't know.
His back feels better, he says. But it felt better Saturday at Wyoming and he participated in the morning shootaround and it stiffened an hour before tipoff and he scratched himself.
"It sounds as if it's a broken record," Fisher said, "but that's what it's become."
Thames didn't play the final 18 minutes against Cal State Bakersfield and the entire next game, the Mountain West opener at Fresno State. He returned against Colorado State and UNLV, but it was quickly apparent against UNLV, Fisher said, that "X wasn't X." Then he missed the nine-point half and wrenching loss at Wyoming on Saturday.
Except for a first half of torrid 3-point shooting against Colorado State, the Aztecs have fluctuated between mediocre and awful. Since Thames reached back for a pass and winced in the second half against Cal State Bakersfield, the Aztecs are shooting 38.5 percent overall. In the last 2½ games, they're shooting 13.3 percent (6 of 45) on 3s.
If not for a couple clutch plays in a three-point win at Fresno State and the heroics of flu-stricken Chase Tapley in overtime against Colorado State, they're 0-4 in the Mountain West.
"At times we're a headless horseman," Fisher said of life without Thames. "We're trying hard and running around and accomplishing nothing. At times we look pretty good. But he brings stability. He brings experience. He brings confidence that he has and everybody else has in him.
"That being said, the games go on. We can't say, 'We don't have X.' We have to perform. The excuse-making, nobody wants to hear it."
Still, …
You lose the 9.8 points and 2.5 assists and 83.3-percent shooting on free throws and 51.2-percent shooting on 3s in his last 12 games. You also lose this:
"So many things that are non-statistically labeled," Fisher said. "He's our best help defender. He's always in that gap so if you get beat, he doesn't let you get beat, and he's still able to get back to his man. He saves us two or three baskets a game by being on the floor defensively.
"The same can be said offensively. He gets a little deeper, makes one more probing dribble to where now what might have been a pass that you can't just catch and dunk is a potential catch-and-dunk. Or (the defense) sinks a little further and it's an unguarded 3 as he kicks it back out."
Nevada coach David Carter has been watching tape of SDSU all week, with and without Thames. He sees the difference.
"He brings the composure to the team," Carter said. "They're always under control. There's a sense of urgency when he's on the floor … Also, it gives them more depth. When you take a player out who is playing 20-plus minutes and averaging double digits, you've gotta go deeper in your bench and that kind of hurts you."
With junior point guard LaBradford Franklin on indefinite leave from the team, 6-8 freshman Winston Shepard has started in the two games Thames missed, one successfully and one not so much. Shepard had seven rebounds and seven assists at Fresno State; he had no assists and a rally-snuffing technical foul at Wyoming.
Shepard remains the most likely replacement if Thames can't go against Nevada, but not the only one. In practice this week, Fisher has experimented with other options: JJ O'Brien, Tapley, even Franklin.
"We'll just probe around the see if there's something that might work," Fisher said, "and if we struggle we might move different pieces out there and just try different things."
MW adds 2 games
The Mountain West athletic directors met Monday and decided to play an 18-game conference season in basketball next year, two more than this year and four more than last year. Teams will play eight opponents twice, and the remaining two either at home or away, rotating the single-game opponents each year.
SDSU at Nevada
Site/time: Lawlor Events Center, Reno, Nev./7:15 p.m. Wednesday.
TV/radio: CBS Sports Network/600-AM, 101.5-FM.
Records: SDSU is 14-4, 2-2; Nevada is 10-7, 1-2.
Series: SDSU leads 5-3 but Nevada has won the last two. This is the first meeting since 1998.
Aztecs outlook: They tumbled out of the AP Top 25 after 23 straight weeks in it but survived in the USA Today coaches poll, falling from No. 14 to 25. Only once in the last 169 games have the Aztecs lost three straight. "I expect them to come in hitting on all cylinders," Nevada coach David Carter said. "They're a very good team already, and I expect them to come in with an even higher level of play – because they know they're better than how they played last Saturday." The big question, other than the health of Xavier Thames, is whether they can regain their shooting touch, having made just 6 of their last 45 3-pointers. The other issue is assists. The Aztecs are averaging 12.5 per game, and have had 11 total in the last two games, both losses.
Wolf Pack outlook: They won their first Mountain West game, 68-61 against Fresno State on Saturday. This a team that went 28-7 last season, including 15-1 in the WAC, and returned one of the top backcourts on the West Coast. Junior Deonte Burton (16.8 ppg, .472 shooting) is averaging a MW-best 22 points in conference games; senior Malik Story (15.8 ppg) had a 35-point game against Yale, 24 in the second half. The Wolf Pack plays a mix of man and zone defense, and will extend full court at times. Cole Huff, originally a SDSU commit as a high school junior, has been a part-time starter for the Wolf Pack as a true freshman. The game is part of a "White out" promotion, with 8,500 fans at 11,536-seat Lawlor Events Center receiving white T-shirts. Nevada is 8-2 at home this season and 24-3 in its last 27. (SDSU is 24-6 in its last 30 road games.)

A customer came to us looking to clean up his iTunes duplicates and rebuild his iTunes library. As we searched the web for answers, we found that no one seemed to have a good solution so we ended up figuring it out for ourselves.
What follows works on a PC, but we are confident the same technique can be used on a Mac.
Step by step instructions:
- Move your iTunes library out of your Music folder (Desktop seems like a reasonable place to move it to.)
- Check that the Music folder is empty then open iTunes. It will create a new empty iTunes library.
- Exit iTunes.
- Delete all the files in the old iTunes base folder (iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Music Library.xml, and "sentinel.")
- Modify the old iTunes music as needed (remove duplicates etc.).
- Move the old iTunes library back to your system Music folder.
- Open iTunes.
- Click on "File", then on "Add Folder to Library," then drill down to your Music folder and select it.
iTunes will now rescan your music folder and rebuild the iTunes library with your modified content.
That's it. You're done! Enjoy your music.

If you thought the story had reached its apex, get ready, because the Manti Te'o saga is about to get a whole lot creepier.
On Thursday, the public learned that the voice on the other end of the phone purporting to be "Lennay Kekua" was allegedly a man. That's right, the hoaxer who has long since been identified as the very male Ronaiah Tuiasosopo was allegedly the one speaking to Te'o, apparently for lengthy periods in some cases.
Of course, this revelation was sure to invite some skepticism, which Tuiasosopo's lawyer actually addressed.
"Come on, Hollywood does it all the time," Milton Grimes told the New York Daily News on Wednesday. "People can do that."
In addition to her interview with Te'o, Katie Couric's show has released three audio clips of voice mails and phone calls between Te'o and "Kekua."
A tip of the hat to Deadspin for compiling the clips.
In the first clip, "Kekua" talks to Te'o before her first purported chemotherapy treatment.
In the second clip, "Kekua" gets jealous and accuses Te'o of having another woman in his room with him.
And, finally, in the third clip, "Kekua" speaks to Te'o on the day she was supposedly released from the hospital — one day before she was supposed to have died.
Whatever they were talking about, it's safe to say that Honey Nut Cheerios were not a topic of conversation.
"I did get bored. If I say no, I'd be lying."

The Bettembourg wallaby who wanted to be free
(RM) It was on Monday morning when a wallaby managed to escape from its enclosure at "Parc Merveilleux" in Bettembourg.
After a short adventure and romp in the snow, the little animal was found on Route de Mondorf and captured before being returned to the fairy tale park a few hours later.
Wallabies are medium-sized kangaroos originating from Eastern Australia. The "Parc Merveilleux" is home to several of them, with thick fur protecting them against freezing temperatures.
The "Park Merveilleux" is currently closed for its winter break and will re-open towards the end of March.

Actually, that solution didn't work so well. Even very small delays in the loop caused the entire loop to perform too slowly to be useful in the production environment. I ended up producing a small patch out of it :P, but we ended up using pgpool to reduce connections from another part of the app, which made the pg_autovacuum spikes less troublesome overall. -tfo -- Thomas F.

Zerstört der Sozialstaat die Familie?
German Basic Law sees "marriage" and "family" as core elements of society - assuming that families are those units that by bearing and raising children provide a society's future and that marriages are fundamental for families. Accordingly, all social policy measures should support (or at least not disadvantage) marriages and families. This article shows that supporting marriages and supporting families are conflicting aims. It shows that measures which are intended to support families in raising children induce adaptive behaviour of (potential) parents that erodes marriage as an institution. In consequence, female incentives to bear children might be reduced by measures that were intended to augment them.

John W. Moore (1833-1865)
Died Kittrell Springs Hospital
(Submitted by Patricia Lowe)
I found this information in the NC State Archives, digital collection of Family bibles
Moore Family Bible 1833-1867
John W Moore, son of John K and Nancy Moore , born10 July 1833. John W Moore departed this life on the 16th day of March 1865 in his 32nd year at Kittrell Springs Hospital in the hope of a blissful immortality as a Christian and patriot who died in defence of his country and civil liberty.
Sarah, daughter of Wilson and Eleanor Atwater , b 2 Mar 1841,
William L Moore son of John W & Sarah A Moore b 28 Aug 1864.
Margie (or Maggie?) Moore dau of DK & Sarah A Moore b 19 Aug 1867
He is not related to me as far as I can tell now, but I do have a lot of Moore family NC. I was searching for them when I ran across this bible.
Moore is not among the names included in the cemetery listings, so thanks to Pat for this info on an additional soldier who died at Kittrell Springs.

DOUGLAS Crosbie from Nantwich was in action in the Formula Ford 1600 Northern Championship at Oulton Park's Race Day this weekend, racing his 1600cc Van Dieman RF00.
In the first race, starting from sixth on the grid, he got a good start and managed to gain a place on the first lap, he then lost that place but regained it six laps later to finish fifth overall and third in his class to make the Class Podium.
For the second race, starting from sixth on the grid, he was up to fifth place by the end of the first lap but then disaster struck on lap two when he locked wheels with another car while both were braking for a corner and both spun off the track and out of the race.

Default LED on/off using momentary switch help please
Hi folks. I am working on a project that I cannot seem to find a consitent answer for, and I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can provide. I have a footswitch for a guitar amplifier which changes channels using a SPDT momentary switch. I want to add an LED indicator so that I can tell when the amplifier has changed state. SO, I have ordered a DPDT momentary switch, to allow for the addition of an LED, but I need help with getting the momentary pulse to somehow keep the LED lit until the switch is pressed again. I hope that is clear. I have been looking around, and found many different answers on how to do this, but my knowledge of circuits, and gates is very basic, so I am hoping that someone who knows what they are talking about can take me by the hand and tell me what I need. I have a limited amount of space, so something like a cmos IC that is small would be ideal. Trouble is I don't know how I would need to hook it all up. I will be using a 9v batter for the power source....so basically I want to figure this out using the 9v battery, momentary switch, and LED, plus whatever else is needed to make the light go on with one push of the switch, and off with the next...etc..
THANKS to anyone who might be able to hlep!

My first thought would be to use a clocked T flip flop, which has one input, one output, and a clock input. If the input is low, the output never changes, but if the input is high, the output will toggle on each clock pulse. You'll also need a source of 5V power for standard logic circuits, so I'd get a 7805 linear regulator (one of the low current ones that comes in a TO-92 package will work fine) to do that.
You can make a T flip flop from a J-K flip flop, which is a very common TTL logic circuit you could get for less than a buck. It will come as a DIP package with two flip flops, so just ignore one of them. Tie the two inputs (J and K) together and then connect that to 5V through a 1K or so resistor to set them high. Connect your switch output to the clock input on the flip flop, and connect the flip flop output (Q or Q', one is just the inverted version of the other) to the cathode of the LED. Then just connect the LED anode to 5V through the proper resistor, connect the chip to power and ground, and you should be all set. I'd make a diagram but I am using my phone right now so that wouldn't work.
EDIT - I'd try it and see what happens, but you might need to debounce your switch (when a switch closes the contacts actually bounce off of each other and can generate a couple very brief pulses that are typically insignificant, but a high speed logic circuit like the flip flop can interpret them as multiple presses). You'd just have to add one more small chip and a tiny capacitor and resistor, as outlined here:

The power source is a 9 volt battery so not much capacity is available, maybe 500mAH. It is important to minimize the current drain so I suggest a CD4027 fllip flop. It will run directly from the battery, eliminating the quiescent current of the voltage regulator.
If debouncing is needed, try just a R-C filter at the flip flop clock pin. Keep the resistor at or above 10K to minimize current drain. Put a small (100 Ohm) resistor in series with the switch to limit discharge current from the capacitor.
The LED itself should be one that has high efficiency to run at low current.

Here are some examples.
The first is conventional, the two other are more "creative".
All of them include the debouncing, and they will operate from 3 to 12V.
The current in the LED is ~1mA, but this can be easily modified.

Attachment 203683Thanks so much for your help guys! I think I am going to try picking up a couple of the recommended flip flops and see if I can get this thing working. I don't really know much about de-bouncing the circuit, but I have read up on it a little, and seems like it's nothing too complicated. I took a couple photos of the project also just to give a little more insight as to what I am working with. In addition it was suggested that there might be current coming from the amp which could be used to power the LED. So I put a multimeter to it and it read -18.5 DCV...I don't know if that is useful or not, but I figured I would throw that on here in case it gives anyone an idea of a better way to approach the project.

18.5V is marginally too high for CMOS circuits.
The transistor version should remain usable.

I have to take a different approach. All that happens by adding an LED and flip flop is that it tells us the button was pushed. But it doesn;t tell us whether the amp responded or not.
It would be good to know the amp we are working with here. What amp is it?
Are there already existing indicator LEDs on the amp control panel? I'd be tapping into them. They are already switched by the amp switching logic.

The amplifier is a Blacktar HT-5 combo. There is a LED on the control panel of the amp, but I am trying to get this done by modifying the footswitch only. At this point I don't want to void the warranty of the amplifier by modifying any internal components. It would be ideal to tap into the LED on the control panel since you would never have to worry about the 2 being out of sync, but since the fix for them being out of sync would be a simple push of a button that would only be necessary once per use, so I can be happy with that if i get it working.
