Last month, I blogged about Adolf Deissmann's Light from the Ancient East. It was a Community Pricing project that was close but not close enough to becoming a real, bona-fide Logos project.
Well, folks responded. I'm thrilled! Deissman's work is now an official, in-production Logos pre-pub.
What does this mean?
Well, it means if you got in on the community pricing, you're confirmed and only paying $10 for this baby.
If you get in on it from this point onward, the lowest price you'll pay is $19.95.
It also means that the book is under development, so the pre-pub is a foregone conclusion. If you missed out, hop on the pre-pub because the price could go up again.
Moral of the story: Check out the Community Pricing page and see if anything piques your interest, because Community Pricing just may be the cheapest way to get access to that book that looks interesting. Perhaps you'd be interested in Driver's Notes on Samuel (a worthy tome to consider).

It might not get the attention it deserves, as it competes with Learn About Composting Day, but today is 529 Day, and we hope you don't overdo it when celebrating.
"Yes, everything has its own day now, including 529 college savings plans, those state-sponsored accounts for college savers in which any earnings are tax-free as long as they are used to pay for qualified higher-education expenses," Kelly Greene writes on The Wall Street Journal's Total Return blog.
But it's not as frivolous as it might sound. A recent survey form Edward Jones regarding 529 Plan awareness asked respondents to correctly identify what a 529 plan is; choices ranged from "a form of life insurance" to "a retirement savings plan." According to the findings, 62% of Americans do not know that a 529 plan is a college savings plan.
The survey also found:
- Awareness of 529 plans rises with the wealth level of those surveyed
- Respondents who have college degrees were much more likely to correctly identify 529 plans
- Only about half of respondents with children knew about 529 plans
For those who currently have a 529 plan, Greene notes a number of changes in 529 investment options in the past year, as families search for less-volatile offerings.
"States have been lowering fees and adding FDIC-insured certificates of deposit and bank-savings accounts, age-based investing options that scale back stock investments for older children and volatility tools," Greene wrote. "Deciding whether you need such features depends in part on your 529 plan and the age of the beneficiary."
With that, she lists some issues you (and your client) should keep in mind:
- 529 plans may negotiate better CD rates than you could get on your own. But some 529-plan money-market funds have negative returns after program expenses.
- 529 plans are adding funds managed by other firms—but adding those options increases the fees.
- Although you can only change your asset allocation in a 529 plan once a calendar year, you can change it any time you change your beneficiary.
Savingforcollege.com, a company that educates individuals and advisors on college savings, is hosting a "conversation" for anyone with questions on 529 plans today on Twitter. You can join it by following @saving4college and using the hashtag #529Day.

I would like to organize my photos with iPad (remove, edit, create albums etc).
I have the synology NAS and I can run the Photo app on the NAS (server) and I can use the DS Photo+ app on iPad (client) but this app can be used only as a viewer (I can't organize photos).
I also have the Aperture on the Mac and I can use the iTunes to sync the photos to the iPad but it is the same problem as with the NAS. I can't delete the photos or organize them in any way - it is only a viewer.
I have around 100k photos and I have to keep them externally. Thus, I have to use the iPad only as a remote viewer (client). I don't want to use any web related service for that like flickr, picasa etc. It is not a problem for me to download photos from the camera to the iPad and then organize them and finally move them to the NAS.
Any ideas how can I do that?

Young Racer's Club December 2010 - Alex Prunty
This month's lucky YRC contest winner is Alex Prunty from Lomira, Wisconsin
From the December, 2010 issue of Circle Track Magazine
This month's lucky YRC contest winner is Alex Prunty from Lomira, Wisconsin
From the December, 2010 issue of Circle Track Magazine
Alex Prunty, Lomira, WI
Lomira, Wisconsin's Alex Prunty is this month's Young Racers' Club winner. The 17-year-old is from a true racing family. His dad raced back in the early '90s and his three uncles (David, Dale, and Dennis) all race as well. So you know that Alex has been around racing all his life. "I've been helping David since I was five," reports Alex. The Prunty racing clan has been successful with Alex's dad and all three of his uncles earning track championships in a variety of divisions at Slinger Speedway in Wisconsin, their home track.
While Alex has been working on race cars all his life, how he got behind the wheel is an interesting story. His uncle David had a very good sponsor whose grandson got into racing. Alex and his father built the grandson a four-cylinder car that was raced a number of times. However, recurring engine problems plagued that team to the point the sponsor asked Alex if he could take a look at the car. He was subsequently told if he could fix the problem he could have the car. "It turned out to be just a timing chain," said Alex.
Alex climbed behind the wheel and started racing, that was almost two years ago and he hasn't looked back since. Last season, in his first year of racing, Alex collected five feature wins at Slinger and two feature wins at Wisconsin International Raceway. In fact, Prunty won his first race in just his sixth start. The teen has continued his winning ways in 2010 and has collected four feature wins at Slinger and one win at WIR while never finishing worse than Fourth. With just five weeks left in the season (as of press time), Alex is the current points leader at Slinger in the Slinger Bees (stock four-cylinder) Division.
His plans for the future include moving up to the Limited Late Models next year. He's got his work cut out since the high schooler also plays baseball and basketball when he's not in class or at the racetrack. He says the LLM is going to be the winter project for him and his dad. Well Alex, what better way to get that winter project going than a $250 gift certificate from our good friends at Day Motorsports? Good luck and congratulations on being our Young Racers' Club winner for December!

Nadal seeded a dangerous fifth for Wimbeldon
LONDON - Rafa Nadal could face world number one Novak Djokovic, defending champion Roger Federer or home favorite Andy Murray as early as the Wimbledon quarter-finals after he was seeded fifth for the grass-court major on Wednesday.
Friday's draw for the tournament, which begins at the All England Club on Monday, could now produce a nightmare scenario for top three seeds Djokovic, Murray and Federer if any of them end up being in the same quarter as 2008 and 2010 winner Nadal.
The Wimbledon seeding reflects Nadal's current ranking, with the Mallorcan behind fourth-ranked Spanish compatriot David Ferrer whom he beat to win an eighth French Open title this month.
Wimbledon is the only grand slam that does not automatically follow the men's rankings when seedings are decided. Instead, officials rely on a three-stage formula which also takes into account grass-court performances of the past two seasons.
As Nadal suffered a shock second-round exit in southwest London 12 months ago, after which his ranking slipped as he spent seven months on the sidelines with a knee injury, Wimbledon's seeding formula failed to bump him above Ferrer, who reached the quarter-finals last year.
John McEnroe, the retired three-times Wimbledon champion, said on Tuesday that it would be 'totally wrong' for 12-times grand slam champion Nadal to be seeded outside the top four.
"In my opinion there is no doubt he should be in the top four," American McEnroe said in a conference call.
"If he ran into Ferrer in the quarter-finals it would be the same old, same old because Ferrer is used to running into one of the big four in the last eight.
"But if Nadal played Djokovic in the quarters, or possibly Murray or Federer, that would be a big difference, and absolutely wrong for that to happen, in my opinion."
U.S. Open champion Murray had already resigned himself to a possible last-eight clash with Nadal.
"I know there will be a lot of interest in the draw this year as Rafael Nadal looks like being seeded fifth but as a player you can't get too obsessed about the draw," Murray had said in a column for the BBC website on Monday.
"I'd sign up to be in the quarter-finals against Rafa tomorrow if someone offered me that."
The Wimbledon seedings by and large reflected the current ATP rankings, with Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga bumped up a place to sixth and Queen's Club runner-up Marin Cilic profiting from two spots to 10th.
There were no surprises among the women after five-times champion Serena Williams was named top seed ahead of Victoria Azarenka and Maria Sharapova in second and third in accordance with the rankings.

Vlychada Beach
On Santorini's south coast, the blissful Vlychada beach is set against a backdrop of white rocky cliffs, which have been sculpted into weird and wonderful formations by the wind and the sea, creating a wild moonlike atmosphere. The beach itself is a long stretch of grey volcanic sand, with limited facilities – just a few umbrellas and sun beds at one end. If you walk a little, you can
find a secluded spot and even bathe naked. At the beginning of the beach, above the water, the low-key Theros Wave Bar is built of local natural stone and wood. Its stone terrace, with palm trees, flickering candles and chill-out music, makes a stunningly romantic setting for after-beach cocktails.

Rusko Tickets
Begging for a change & a new dimension, music gave birth to its flashy yet immensely popular offspring, electronic dance music, in the early 80s. Playing with turntables & synthesizers serves up brand new avenues with every flick of the finger, & the genre's fame has seen many sub-genres develop. Whispering slowly in the bowels of student nightclubs & tricked out hatchbacks in the early 2000s, dubstep has emerged as a major deviant from the established electronic dance musical arrangement. And, as its leading exponent Rusko puts it, it is the punk rock of the electronic genre.
The West Yorkshire man established an early love for dubstep after studying music, & his work has since then been mostly behind the scenes, collaborating with many worthwhile artists like T.I, M.I.A & Rihanna. He has also been associated with acts like Caspa, but such is the vibe around the electronic dance genre that his innovations have been played to packed clubs. Even though actively working as DJ & records executive since 2006, Rusko only landed his high-flying debut album in 2010. Rusko tickets are now the subject of great attention following the artist's recent much publicized collaboration with Britney Spears.
Dubstep is an innovation in electronic music, originating in Southeast London. The genre was extensively played at the nightclub "Forward", which has been instrumental in its growth. Dubstep is a darker variation of 2-step garage music. Taking its cue from the reggae beats while incorporating the funky breakbeat elements, dubstep is overdosed with drum & bass on a 2-step garage rhythm. Sequencers, turntables, synthesizers & samplers are the major instruments used. Rusko has emerged as the artist who has taken dubstep to the recording studio & made it more than just a 140 bpm freakish variant. Born as Christopher Mercer in Leeds in 1985, Rusko studied Music Production in the Leeds College of Music. Dubstep was soon his biggest inspiration with his work in the events "Sub Dub" & "DMZ". He soon brought in his signature upbeat pop-friendly feel to the dark genre with "SNES Dub", his first single in 2006 on Dub Police Records. Rusko moved to London to work with record labels Stingray & Sub Soldiers.
He linked up with West London music producer Caspa to land FabricLive.37, a dubstep album which won many accolades for the fledgling genre. Within the next three years, Rusko released a number of singles, some of which did wonders for the dubstep scene in UK nightclubs. Rusko collaborated with British-Tamil hip hop recording artist M.I.A on her third album Maya, & also chipped in with Rihanna, T.I & Switch. Rusko finally brought out his long-awaited debut OMG on Mad Decent Records in May 2010, which was universally acclaimed for its brash & experimental feel, a new angle to the genre.
Rusko has morphed from a talented aspiring dubstepper into a leading ambassador for the genre. Starting off with 2006's "SNES Dub", Rusko released a number of singles over the years which have kept his reputation afloat. "Babylon Vol. I" & "Cockney Thug" have gained widespread recognition. The album FabricLive.37 used samples from acclaimed Hollywood films Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory & Snatch. A metallic heavily undulating bass-line glides through each of his debut album OMG's songs, allowing creative freedom for the collaborating artists. "Hold On" featuring Dirty Projectors' Amber Coffman is a gem, while "Woo Boost" is a grinding bass piece. Gucci Mane uses hip hop in "Got Da Groove", while reggae elements are in force in the melodic "Rubadub Shakedown" featuring Rob Azlan. The album has done well & has further boosted Rusko's reputation as a flexible artist. Collaborating with Britney & T.I, two artists on different ends of the musical spectrum, is proof enough of his progress as a musician.
This upsurge in popularity has seen the dedicated Leeds native establish legions of clubbing fans across UK. His pieces use loops from popular media, including films, & his ability to innovate within the dark confines of the genre has meant Rusko tickets are at the top of every electronic music fan's list. Rusko performs in Belfast, London & Newcastle in the next week.
Rusko's development as a musician parallels the development of dubstep as a bankable genre. It is remarkable that the electronic music world is talking in hushed tones of an artist being a top innovator when he's only an album into his career. Such is Rusko's spellbinding artistry, something that fans with Rusko tickets are used to.

McCain's Economic Agenda Attacks Education Funding: Harmful to Children and Public Education
WASHINGTON - April 17, 2008 -U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) recently outlined his plans to address an ailing economy, and proposed a yearlong moratorium on increases in discretionary federal spending, including education. However, Sen. McCain did not address how his plans will negatively affect children and education.
The following statement can be attributed to NEA President Reg Weaver:
"McCain's plans have erased any doubts that he would continue the misguided policies of the Bush administration. The spending scheme recently outlined would reportedly save $100 billion, but it doesn't mention the critical casualties of those cuts: America's children.
The move would take away even more resources from public schools that are already underfunded. Under McCain's scheme, 4.2 million disadvantaged children would be shortchanged in needed reading and math help due to the shortfall of $10.7 billion between the McCain plan for Title I and what was promised in the No Child Left Behind law.
"McCain's scheme would also shortchange states and schools by $12.5 billion by reducing services to 3.6 million children with disabilities. Like President Bush, who proposed $14.2 billion less than what Congress provided for education during his presidency, McCain's scheme has shown he is quite willing to mortgage our children's future.
"And No Child Left Behind has imposed heavy-handed requirements based on standardized testing, but the law has been underfunded by $70.9 billion since its enactment. If there is one section of the federal budget, one segment of the economy, that deserves continued and full support, it's public education. Public education is the backbone of a healthy economy and a healthy democracy, and McCain's scheme ignores that at our shared peril.
All children deserve the right to great public schools to ensure that they become productive citizens who can compete in a global economy and succeed in the new industries of tomorrow. McCain cannot restore confidence in the future of our country by refusing to invest in our country's future leaders."

China's leaders pledge to reduce pomp and ceremony
China's leaders pledged Tuesday to reduce pomp, ceremony and red carpets for senior officials who are long accustomed to lavish trappings and distance from ordinary citizens.
In a meeting presided over by newly named Communist Party chief Xi Jinping, members of the 25-member Politburo agreed that officials should reduce ostentation and bureaucratic visits, meetings and talks "in order to remain close with the public," state media reported.
Chinese government bureaucrats are notoriously status conscious, and even low-level county officials can travel in chauffeur-driven cars.
Chinese microbloggers often mock the arrogance and corruption of officials, leading in some cases to disciplinary action against government and Communist Party leaders whose behavior is seen as particularly outrageous.
Xi has already warned that the party risks losing its grip on power if it fails to root out corruption, and the government is eager to show that those in power are worthy of their posts.
At Tuesday's meeting, the Politburo agreed that red carpets should no longer be rolled out for officials on visits, and that welcoming flowers and banners must also go, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
They also agreed that overseas Chinese, including students, shouldn't be bused to airports to greet leaders when they arrive.
The senior leaders agreed to cut spending and the size of leaders' entourages on official domestic and overseas visits, that fewer traffic controls should be arranged for such trips to avoid inconveniencing the public, and to ban worthless news reports on senior officials' work and activities.
Politburo members were urged to carry out local inspections "to understand the real situation facing society," especially in places where social problems are more acute - but inspection tours as a mere formality are strictly banned, Xinhua said.
It is the first time that the Politburo has issued detailed guidance for a new working style, said Liu Shanying, a political scientist at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. "The new leadership wants to show that they are close to the people," he said.
"It is a good thing, but it will be difficult to fully implement at the local government levels because it's a longtime problem. Bureaucracy can't be gotten rid of within a short time."

There are few better ways to experience the Irish countryside than by pedal power
Northern Ireland has a national cycle network of over 800 miles incorporating quiet country roads, forest trails, riverside routes and coastal paths. The Great Western Greenway is the Republic's longest off-road cycling trail from Westport to Achill in County Mayo.
Do consider cycling tours – they're a brilliant way to get out into the great outdoors, have an eco-vacation and make a few new pals along the way.
Most importantly – always cycle with traffic on the left-hand side of the road. Irish weather is famously varied, so pack gear for every eventuality. A high visibility jacket, helmet and good headlamp are recommended. Make sure to lock your bike at a designated area as improperly parked bikes risk being removed. A good lock is essential, and have a puncture repair kit handy, as there might be substantial distances between bicycle shops.
For rental gear, Ireland has a generous supply of bike hire shops, and some will even allow you to rent your bike in one location and drop it off at another. The price of rental generally includes lock, pump, puncture repair kit, mudguards and carrier; insurance cover is given with all bicycles hired. The Road Safety Council gives advice on cycling safely and the rules of the road in Northern Ireland, and Dublinbikes has a good list of recommendations and rules for cycling in the Republic.
Dublinbikes, Dublin's city bike scheme, is one of the most successful of its kind in the world. The self-service bike rental system has 44 bike stations scattered throughout Dublin city, and besides a nominal sign-up fee it's free to use. The best bet for visitors is the 3-Day Ticket for €2 (about $2.50), which allows use of the bikes for the three days with the first 30 minutes of use free (services charges apply after the first 30 minutes so check on the website for full details). You will need to bring your own helmet with you.
Bikes can be brought onto the Dart in Dublin and commuter trains for free during off-peak times, while there is limited space on Intercity trains and a nominal fee. Folding bikes are free on all trains at any time.
On Bus Éireann buses, bicycles will be allowed only if there is enough room on board and this is judged by the driver at the time. Only folding bikes are allowed on buses in Dublin.
In Northern Ireland all bikes are carried free of charge on Translink buses, Goldline Express Coaches) and trains (including the "Enterprise" service) after 9.30am.

"Do or do not. There is no try." -- Yoda
Aww, hopefully folks in the community will step up to help with repairs and repair costs!
I've Been Frosted
I sure hope so too, we're fans. We've been there twice as it's not far away, very fascinating. Bit o' advice though, watch out for the mosquitos in the summer. They'll eat ya alive and they're BIG. The size of choppers (almost)! Bug repellent is a must! They take out actual chunks man!
SPCA closed down Reptile World in Drumheller. They seized 142 reptiles and amphibians. Their heart was in the right place but they were not able to care for them all properly as it is in the middle of nowhere and no one was supporting them or paying admission. They all need very specialised care and diets so, hopefully they are now getting what they require. Just sayin'.
Aww, sad, but probably for the best, hopefully the animals will get the proper care now.

We gotta drop this babe, antiquated. Done, fini.

At our house over the past few weeks, it's been candy, candy and more candy after a few days of local church-sponsored Fall Festivals and trunk or treat events (or trick or treat – depending on where you live). Like most parents of young children across the country, my wife and I, along with our "University of Alabama squad" – including a 5-year old dressed as a cheerleader, a 4-year old suited up as the quarterback and a 1-year old decked out as Big AL (the university's elephant mascot), embarked on our annual Halloween candy extravaganza.
As expected, it was funny, memorable and filled with wonderful laughs and priceless pictures. As we arrived home laden with loot, each child was eating as much of their hard-earned stash as possible, which was bagged and stored and separated by each child's name so they could enjoy the fruits of their labor for some time to come.
At that point, I was reminded of a video I saw called, "Opinions of Kids on American Tax System at Halloween." The video is about the "redistribution" of candy – taking some from those who had amassed more and giving it to those who hadn't collected as much, so as to be "fair" to everyone. If you give it some thought, you can see it's an amazing representation of the economic and tax structure of America. For a moment, then, let's delve into the mindset of a kid dealing with the rationing of his or her candy.
It will always be about the amount! The more you make, the more they take. Our government's tax structure progressively takes larger amounts of cash from those making more, and then redistributes it through various social programs such as welfare, healthcare, food stamps, low-income housing, Social Security, etc.
In the video, it was pretty evident that kids got the big picture, so why is it that many adults don't? My personal opinion is that most Americans do get the big picture; but some choose to be on the receiving end instead of the paying end. No one likes paying taxes—including those citizens who receive rather than pay. Even the video displayed this concept. You'll notice that the kids getting the rationed candy didn't complain about getting more, but also didn't choose to give the candy back to the kids from whom it was taken.
Society is the way it is because we're all basically selfish. For example, I want to keep as much of the money I work very hard for, so I can pay for my kids' college, buy my wife the car she wants, go on vacations to create lasting memories, and save for my grandpa years. Yet on the flip-side, many non-working Americans feel entitled to government benefits, including unemployment compensation—which is sometimes higher than the minimum wage—until their dream job falls in their lap. To me, the rationing of candy on Halloween night depicts what's wrong with America's tax and economic system.
It will always be about the candy! Halloween is about kids trick or treating and economics is based on capitalism and making money. However, what's interesting to me is the psychological misunderstanding by many as to how tax increases affect each side of the equation. For example, continuing my previous point, if the government wants more from me as a taxpayer, then my mindset as a hard-working person indirectly defaults to the question of "How can I keep more of what I have and pay less tax?" On the other hand, if the government wants less from me, then I start thinking "How can I make more money than I currently do?"
This idea is illustrated in the Halloween video. Kids were going from spot to spot looking for more candy, but as soon as the rationing started, they were concerned about keeping what they had rather than getting more. Those who were receivers of the rationing were okay with a "sit back and take" strategy rather than having to work for it. What we really need is a system that indirectly forces everyone to acquire a mindset of "How do I make more?" instead of "How do I just keep what I have?"
The way our kids view their Halloween candy parallels the way Americans view their money. No one likes forced rationing, and the more forceful rationing becomes, the less interested people are in sharing. Wanting to keep what we have and being able to choose when and how much to share is core to our economic landscape.
Hopefully, this Halloween tale will prompt us all to one day choose a tax and economic structure that allows all Americans the opportunity to work hard, earn as much as they desire, and then choose for themselves when, where and how much tax to pay through consumption. Until then, it's at least an interesting way to teach our kids how economics really works in a way they can easily sink their teeth into.

The Electronic Wind Performance Reporting System (eWPRS) is a publicly accessible database of wind plant performance data in California. The eWPRS provides a simple and convenient interface for accessing data from 1985-2005. It is based on data collected by the California Energy Commission's Wind Performance Reporting System (WPRS) program. Click here to access the Wind Performance Reporting System data query.
More recent data on wind plant performance collected by the California Energy Commission is available here.
You can also retrieve summary reports prepared by the Energy Commission with the list of links below.
The eWPRS was administered by the California Wind Energy Collaborative to facilitate the research and analyses needed for California to reach its renewable energy goals. If you have any questions, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
WPRS Overview
California law requires the California Energy Commission to serve as a central repository in State government to collect and disseminate information on energy supplies. Since January 1985, WPRS regulations have required all California wind operators with projects rated at 100 kW or more to provide quarterly wind performance reports if they sold electricity to a power purchaser (utility). WPRS reports filed by operators included information such as actual energy production and related project information. In addition, all California power purchasers are required to file quarterly reports documenting power purchases from wind operators. The Commission compiles, evaluates these data, and documents findings in annual reports on wind industry performance in California. Annual WPRS reports can be downloaded below.
Legislative History of the WPRS
The Commission Wind Program was initiated in 1977 and later expanded in 1978 with the passage of California AB-2976 authored by Assemblyman Henry Mello. The Mello bill required the Commission to implement a State wind energy program to expedite the commercialization of utility-scale wind turbines. The Commission was responsible for assessing wind resources throughout California, operating a public wind information center, testing wind turbines, and conducting research to support development of large-scale prototype wind turbines.
When the industry began exponential growth in 1981, the Commission and the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) recognized the need for performance and other technology-related information. Subsequent efforts by these two organizations led to adoption of Wind Project Performance Reporting System regulations in 1984.
Motivations for WPRS Implementation
WPRS regulations were instituted for many reasons. First, the industry, investors, financial community, and government agencies need actual performance data to better evaluate the status of wind technology and necessary improvements. Second, wind performance data provide a better understanding of the role wind resources can play in meeting California's energy needs. Last, the WPRS provides the public with an open and objective source of information about wind energy technologies.
Information Provided by WPRS Summary Reports
The WPRS reports include the following information for wind projects in California rated at 100 kilowatts (kW) or more, that sell electricity to a power purchaser: turbine manufacturers, model numbers, rotor diameter and kW ratings; the number of cumulative and new turbines installed; the projected output per turbine (no longer reported after 1995); the output for each turbine model; and the output for the entire project. The reports are compiled from periodic reports submitted by project operators and public utilities. The Commission staff uses this WPRS data to analyze wind project performance and industry production and capacity trends. The reports also contain data summary tables reflecting performance statewide and by resource area; turbine size, type and origin; manufacturer; and project operator.
Summary Reports
2002 – 2003
2000 – 2001
1996 – 1999
Limitations of the WPRS
WPRS reports do not provide information on every wind energy project in California. The absence of a project from the WPRS typically indicates that the project is not selling any power or is rated less than 100 kW. Non-operating wind projects are not required to report to the Commission. Other unreported capacity includes turbines that do not produce electricity for sale, such as turbines installed by utilities, government organizations and research facilities. Additional unreported capacity results when operators fail to file. Installed capacity for these operators cannot be confirmed and only kWh production verified from utility reports is included in WPRS reports.
Data reported by qualifying facilities and utilities and/or other sources may not compare directly because the wind industry still does not employ a standardized turbine rating system. Turbines are tested under different conditions and rated at widely varying wind speed specifications.
Operator or manufacturer performance may not be accurately represented in the report when old and new turbine data are grouped together. Analysis of wind data reported since 1985 confirms that newer equipment typically performs more efficiently and reliably than older equipment.
Performance data contained in WPRS reports do not reflect other important variables that should be considered. These variables include cost per kilowatt, operation and maintenance costs, durability of the system, and quality of a site's wind resource.

From what Hasbro has said, we need not worry about Clones this time. That to me is a good sign.Here's hoping for around 300 troops by this time next year!
Totally agree with Jesse that the 3-pack clones felt cheap, but since we also got the SA Clone to balance it out, I found them to be great filler.

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
Ten days since the six female jurors rendered a "not guilty" verdict in the highly divisive George Zimmerman trial, the topic of race remains as polarizing as any in America.
With a live studio audience hanging on every word, this evening guest host Donny Deutsch asked a very provocative question: "Am I racist?"
Filling in for Piers Morgan, the television personality and "Today" show contributor had begun his inquiry by admitting that if he were to see a young, African-American male in a hoodie walking down his street, he would pause. Deutsch noted that such an occurrence would be out of context, hence his hesitation. But, he asked Star Jones, does that make him a racist:
"You would not be showing racism by just thinking it, but what you would be showing is implicit bias," explained the lawyer, and former "The View" co-host. "This is what this conversation has generated. Implicit bias is that when, because of what you've been programmed to think, when you see a young African-American man in a hoodie, or in some jeans, you immediately start to think this silly statistic that there are more Black men in jail than there are in college, when that's absolutely not true."
Seated beside Jones, "HuffPost Live" host Marc Lamont Hill spoke to Deutsch's initial question:
"I don't think you're racist, however, I think that assumption would be racist..you have to come to terms with the fact that the assumption is racist. So many White folk and Black folk – there's plenty of Black folk that see a Black person in a hoodie and have the same kind of pause," he explained. "I teach at Columbia University, all my kids walk through the campus with hoodies on. Winter time, White folk wear them with shorts and hoodies. Ain't none of them robbing nobody."
Joining via satellite, Ben Crump offered analysis on a larger scale, suggesting that blaming racism on clothing trends is short-sighted and small-minded:
"I think we try to use the hoodies as this metaphor," said the attorney for Trayvon Martin's family. "Thirty-five years ago, there were not hoodies, and they were still profiling African-American men. So we have to be real about it."
Watch the clip for more of Deutch's panel discussion on race in America with Crump, Jones, and Lamont Hill, and for the next edition of "Piers Morgan Live," watch CNN every night at 9.

Danny Deutsch was FANTASTIC tonight. WOW! Is he impressive. First of all, he is incredibly articulate. He has that verbal, inter/intra personal "gift" of being able to really articulate exactly what he or others are thinking and feeling during any given moment. Second, he was SO honest. When he said to Lonny that he thought Huba (??) was actually an Opportunist and that he didn't trust the sincerity of the "Stand by your Man" thing – I think he read the minds of HALF the women in America. It was AWESOME excellent. He just has great candor and a wonderful way of expressing REAL thoughts and emotions.
I now only wish he was on more often. VERY very impressive.
I agree that it was absolutely refreshing to hear Danny Deutsch last night. He was FANTASTIC! I only wish that Piers would consider moving on as people just don't trust him in his reporting. Too many confrontations for the sake of madness on his show and it is beginning to look like a comedy hour.
Please Danny do stay for a while. We thoroughly enjoyed your program last night. Great discussions!!
Totally agree, Canadian, Piers should move on!
I'm afraid I commented on the wrong show. In PHX we had the Weiner-Gate show last night which is posting like it's on tonight elsewhere? Anyway – it's a great piece and Danny hit a home run all the way through, imo.
Whoever hasn't seen it – watch it tonight!
Danny, I agree that if I came home and saw a black wearing a hoodie in my yard or around my house, I would be concerned. Furthermore, I would be just as concerned if it were a white man, white woman or black woman. By saying a (black wearing a hoodie) makes it racist.
I would be concerned if I saw someone in my yard at night wearing a hoodie where I couldn't see their face regardless of who they were. Also, I have been seeing reports the Trayvon had purchased a Arizona Watermelon Citrus drink and Skittles, which are 2 of the ingredients used along with cough medicine to make something called Lean that kids are using to get high. If this is true why does everyone keep saying he was killed walking to his Dad's house after buying candy and "tea"? Why not just say he bought the Arizona Watermelon Citrus drink, if that is what he bought?
Piers Morgan is a buffoon and a shallow political hack .. He should be FIRED
Marc Lamont Hill is simply a prettier version of Al Sharpton ... and is just a slicker version of infamous RACE BAITERS ... 2 of whom have gotten particularly wealthy in the last 20 years !!!
It is a discussion but with that discussion things will probably not change. And that is unfortunate. If I see a young black man walking with a hoodie during a rainy night, I would not "pause". I would think he was attempting to stay dry. But unfortunately, I am in the minority and that is sad. We can not reprogram ignorant people but maybe we can try and educate them by not tolerating racist bias.
Speaking your mind on anything is not being racist...what he said was sincere.
Czajkowskyj says he thought to be the award "a especially nominal amount."

Editorial: Why did obesity drop among young children?
Recently released federal data showing a sharp drop in obesity rates among young children is encouraging news, but it raises almost as many questions as it answers.
As the nation grapples with the obesity issue and its health implications, the "why" behind the favorable data is almost as important as the drop itself.
In order to perpetuate this public health victory and broaden it to other age groups, we must understand how it was accomplished.
So far, there is only speculation as to why there was a 43 percent drop in obesity among kids ages 2 to 5 during an eight-year stretch, if indeed it was not a statistical anomaly as some have suggested.
Is it due to rising rates of breastfeeding? Increased efforts to promote healthy foods at preschools? Exercise programs that focus on getting kids moving? Something else entirely?
We hope researchers dig into these numbers with an eye toward explaining how this welcome news came to be.
Encouraging the maintenance of a healthy body weight is good public policy. Figuring out the most effective means of doing so is even better.

Firm Expanding into 101K of Industrial SpacePublished: Tuesday, April 27, 2010 7:00 am By: Ben Johnson
Video Product Distributors has leased 101,350-sq.-ft. of industrial space in Oklahoma City.
The Folsom, Calif.-based company will occupy space at 7501 SW 29th St. in the Will Rogers Business Park north of the Will Rogers World Airport, about one mile south of Reno Avenue off Council Road. The deal is for six years.
The company presently owns a 50,000 sq. ft. facility at 4801 South Council Road in OKC and leases space in two other buildings.
"This will be an expansion for them," says Randy Lacey, an industrial broker with Grubb & Ellis/Levy Beffort who represented Video Product Distributors. "They were looking to buy but couldn't find anything they liked."
The building includes 24-foot ceilings and the quoted rent was $2.75 per sq. ft. Lacey says the tenant will seek to sell its existing property and make improvements in its new building, including adding an outdoor truck court, office buildout and extra parking for its 70 employees.

After attracting a cult following in the US and collecting an armful of awards, Alias steps nimbly onto the PS2 with a stealth-action game featuring original story and script from the show's writers. Centring on the exploits of plucky teen Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner) - college student by day, CIA über-spy by night - Alias is a sort of female version of James Bond, only with better wigs. We should also mention at this point that Sydney is actually a double-agent, working from the inside of the 'SD-6' division to bring down rogue operatives responsible for the assassination of her fiancé. Complicated stuff, we're sure you'll agree, but it'll all start to make sense once you get stuck in. Honest.
Taking up the controls as Intel-gathering agent with a grudge Sydney, you'll be assigned various missions which place emphasis on stealth rather than scrapping, and involve gadgetry and disguises galore. Never fear though, it wouldn't be Alias if there weren't any opportunities for high-kicking, karate-chopping combat situations to show-off your 'expert martial arts' moves in. Engage in hand-to-hand combat with multiple opponents, execute perfect roundhouses in the face of dodgy CIA operatives, and make use of everyday objects as weapons.
Comparisons with Splinter Cell and MGS will inevitably be drawn, but Alias' stealth-action mix has a unique 'split-screen camera' feature which distinguishes it slightly from the ever-burgeoning genre's pack. When Sydney is exploring her surroundings and attempting to locate her target (usually a vital piece of intelligence, such as a disk), the screen splits in two, with one side following Sidney, and the other providing a handy peek behind any upcoming obstacles. She also spends much of her time engaging in espionage, disguising herself as waitresses and wotnot to access top-level intel, and convincing goons to spill top-secret info to her. So, whilst there is plenty of action to keep attention deficit disorder sufferers pressing on, the emphasis is on keeping things low-key and using your nous to get through levels.

TORONTO — The Toronto stock market closed modestly higher Tuesday as a rally in copper prices pushed mining stocks higher while traders looked at the latest assessment of when interest rates might rise and by how much.
Dow —16,367.88+91.19 0.56%
Nasdaq —4,234.27+7.880.19%
The S&P/TSX composite index gained 20.94 points to 14,299.49.
The Canadian dollar was up 0.28 of a cent at 89.61 cents US.
New York markets were also higher as traders looked to see how severe winter weather affected the housing sector.
The Dow Jones industrials ran up 91.19 points to 16,367.88, the Nasdaq added 7.88 points to 4,234.27 and the S&P 500 index climbed 8.18 points to 1,865.62.
Charles Plosser, president of the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank, told CNBC he sees the federal funds rate at three% at the end of 2015 and four% at the end of 2016.
The current target range for the federal funds rate is between zero and 0.25%.
Federal Reserve chairwoman Janet Yellen caught markets unaware last week when she said that the Fed could start increasing rates from near zero about six months after the end of its bond buying program.
But analysts say markets are getting increasingly used to the idea of rates going up.
"After the last Fed meeting, I think it was pretty evident there was a possibility that you may see rates go up quicker than people might have anticipated," said Sadiq Adatia, chief investment officer of Sun Life Global Investment.
"So I think people are bracing themselves for potentially a rate hike in 2015, maybe a bit earlier than what was initially planned."
Meanwhile, cold weather continued to limit buying last month as U.S. sales of new homes dropped by 3.3%.
The S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city composite also indicated that U.S. home prices ticked down 0.1% in January in a third month of declines, with 12 of 20 tracked cities posting drops. On a seasonally adjusted basis, home prices in January rose 0.8%.
Commodities advanced as May copper was up six cents to US$3.01 a pound and the TSX base metals sector improved by 3.18%. The gold sector climbed 0.33% as April bullion inched up 20 cents to US$1,311.40 an ounce.
May crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange erased early gains to decline 41 cents to US$99.19 a barrel, but the energy sector edged 0.2% higher.
The tech sector was also supportive, up 0.34%, but shares of BlackBerry (TSX:BB) gave back some of Monday's 3% rise, down six cents to $10.44 ahead of earnings on Friday. Meanwhile, CBC reported Chinese computer company Lenovo was among potential buyers when the company put itself up for sale last year, but the federal government turned thumbs down on the plan.
The TSX was pressured by defensive sectors such as utilities and consumer staples.
