Pricing PV Systems and Financing Ideas
The cost of a PV system depends on the system size, equipment options (panels and inverters), permitting costs, and labor costs. Prices vary depending on other factors as well, such as whether your home is new, where the system is installed on your premise, the PV manufacturer, and other factors.
For example, the total average cost of an installed residential PV system under the California Solar Initiative is $8.70 per Watt (including installation, as of January 2011). That translates to about $34,800 for a four-kilowatt system, the average size of a residential installation. To see real average cost data for solar projects installed near you, visit the Find a Contractor page on California Solar Statistics.
Because of the declining rebates in the California solar programs, the sooner you install your system, the better your incentive and rebate will be.
Depending on your pre-installation electricity usage, you can expect rates of return between 9% and 14% on your PV installation. Please see Calculators to estimate the full cost of your solar system. For example, using the Clean Power Estimator, a south-facing three-kilowatt system installed at a 30-degree angle on a single-family home with a utility bill of $180 per month in San Francisco would cost a customer an estimated $19,282 with a payback period of 12 years.

- What happens if the contractor goes out of business?
- Is there opportunity to pay some up front and some later?
Financing a Solar Energy System
Solar customers have multiple options when financing their solar energy systems:
Home Equity Loans - Many customers go through their commercial lenders to finance their solar energy systems, and home equity loans have been the most common method for homeowners to purchase their solar systems. To find out more about home equity loans, you can contact your local providers, though many solar contractors have partnerships with existing lenders.
Power Purchase Agreements - Under a "PPA," a third party owns and maintains the customer solar system, selling the kilowatt-hours back to the customer. Thus, customers who opt for a solar PPAtypically have low capital costs and pay only for the electricity their solar systems generate. The Rahus Institute offers helpful guides and additional information on solar PPAs.
Solar Leases - By leasing a solar system, customers can get the benefits of owning a solar system without the capital costs. Solar customers opting for solar leases simply rent the solar system from a company as they would any other home appliance while earning the benefits from the electricity the system produces. Solar leases are attractive options for home or business owners that plan to at their business or office for less than five years. For more reading, Mother Jones Magazine has an excellent February 2010 article titled: "If You Can't Afford to Buy a PV System, Consider Renting One".
Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) - Solar customers likewise may have the option to finance their solar systems through their local governments. Local governments can create property tax finance districts to issue loans for energy efficiency and renewable energy such as solar PV systems. PACE allows local governments to provide low-cost, 20-year loans to eligible property owners seeking to install these technologies. The solar customer then pays more on the annual property tax bill to repay the loan. The loans are permanently fixed to real property, so that residents need not worry about their system's break-even point and can pass the loan payments on to subsequent buyers of the property. Additional information about PACE, and presently PACE programs are in place in the following communities:
- Berkeley, California FIRST Program
- Sonoma County, California Energy Independence Program
- Palm Desert, California Energy Independence Program
- San Francisco, California GreenFinanceSF Program
- CaliforniaFIRST Statewide Program
- Los Angeles County, California
- San Diego City, California
Clean Energy States Alliance - CESA has released a new guide to help homeowners navigate the complex landscape of residential solar photovoltaic (PV) system financing. The free online publication will help homeowners make sound decisions and select the best financing option for their needs. The guide describes three popular residential solar financing choices - leases, loans, and power purchase agreements (PPAs) - and explains the advantages and disadvantages of each, as well as how they compare to a direct cash purchase. It clarifies key solar financing terms and provides a list of questions homeowners should ask before deciding if and how to proceed with installing a solar system. The full guide is available from the links below.
- Homeowner's Guide to Solar Financing - A resource from the Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) on third-party financing for prospective solar customers
- En Español - Guía del propietario de la financiación solar
Note that affordable housing customers that wish to deploy solar systems have different pricing mechanisms and incentives with the California Solar Initiative through the Single Family Affordable Solar Housing (SASH) and Multi-Family Affordable Solar Housing Programs (MASH). For more information and program eligibility, please see the Affordable Housing section.
The California Solar Initiative Incentives Explained
Because of the triggering mechanism in the California Solar Initiative, as explained below, the sooner you purchase and install your system, the better your incentive and rebate will be. Incentive amounts will likewise vary depending on your solar system size, system performance, customer class, utility provider, and program deployment phase. Click here to view the current incentive and tariff levels.
The California Solar Initiative offers financial incentives for solar installations based on the expected performance of a given solar installation. The expected performance is derived from the size of the solar array, and also takes into consideration the angle and location of the system installation. For larger systems, the incentive is based on the actual performance of the system over the first five years.
The incentive level available to a given project is determined by currently available incentive in each utility territory for each customer class. The CSI was designed so that the incentive level decreases over ten steps, after which it goes to $0, as the total demand for solar energy systems grows.
The CPUC divided the overall goal of 1,750 megawatts by these ten declining steps. Each step has megawatts allocated to each Program Administrator and customer class, residential and non-residential (a combination of commercial and government/non-profit). Once the total number of megawatts for each step is reached within a particular customer class, the Program Administrator moves to the next step and offers a lower incentive level for that class. Therefore, high commercial demand in SCE's territory will not lower the incentive level offered to PG&E's residential customers, and so on. Figure 1 offers a visual explanation of the increasing megawatt installations and decreasing incentive levels over the life of the program. The orange box in each "Incentive Step Level" represents the available megawatts at that incentive value. The yellow box represents the cumulative installed megawatts as the program proceeds through the steps.
The California Solar Initiative pays solar consumers their incentive either all-at-once for smaller systems, or over the course of five years for larger systems. The program's two incentive payment types are:
Expected Performance-Based Buy-Down, or EPBB:
In 2008-9, systems smaller than 50kW in capacity can receive a one-time, up-front incentive based on expected performance, and calculated by equipment ratings and installation factors (geographic location, tilt and shading). EPBB payments are provided on a $ per watt basis. EPBB is available for systems under 30 KW after 2010. Systems eligible for EPBB can choose to opt-in to the PBI system described below.
Performance Based Incentive, or PBI:
The PBI pays out an incentive, based on actual kWh production, over a period of five years. PBI payments are provided on a $ per kilowatt-hour basis. As of 2010 all systems over 30 kW must be on PBI, though sized system can elect to take PBI.

Upcoming Storage Events - Spring 2013
Comments (2) Visits (17140)
Here are some upcoming events related to IBM Storage!
If you sell IBM and/or Oracle solutions, please join me for IBM Oracle Virtual University 2013!
A few weeks ago, I recorded a session on IBM Storage: Overview, Positioning and How to Sell that will be available on demand starting tomorrow, February 26th, at the IBM Oracle Virtual University 2013.
It's one of 65 new sessions that will help IBM to surround Oracle applications with IBM infrastructure, services and industry solutions. Oracle software, after all, runs best on IBM hardware. Other highlights of Oracle Virtual University include a live executive State of the Alliance session with Q&A, Oracle keynote, updates by Oracle product managers, sessions on PureSystems, Selling IBM into an Oracle environment, Cloud, and much more.
Visit the [Orace Virtual University 2013 Registration page] to register.
(Update: For employees of IBM, Oracle and their respective business partners, the replays for this event is available until Feb 26, 2014. Visit the [Orace Virtual University 2013 Replay page])
There will be live technical teams on hand throughout launch day to answer your questions in real time, so I hope you can carve out 30 minutes or more on February 26th to take advantage of these available resources.
After helping launch the first Pulse back in 2008, I have sadly not been back since. Last year, I was invited to attend as a last-minute replacement for another speaker, but I was busy [having emergency surgery].
This year's [Pulse 2013] conference looks amazing. It will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada. Guest Speaker Payton Manning, NFL 4-time MVP football player, and Carrie Underwood, 6-time Grammy award winner, join IBM's Software Group executives and experts on how IBM Tivoli can help optimize your IT infrastructure.
Sadly, once again, I will not be there at Pulse. This time, I will be on the East Coast visiting clients instead, but my on-premise correspondent, Tom Rauchut, has informed me that he will be there. Hopefully, he will provide me something to write about.
Later in March, I will be in Brussels, Belgium for the Storage Expo. This is held March 20-21, at the Brussels-Expo venue. I will be presenting several topics each day, as well as visit clients in the area. This event comes on behalf of IBM Belgium in association with IBM Business Partner IRIS-ICT.
If you plan to participate in any of these events, let me know!

Forum Post: Obama Finally—Finally!—Picks 2 Nominees for the Federal Election Commission
Posted 6 years ago on June 24, 2013, 11 a.m. EST by GirlFriday
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
Last week, Obama nominated Ann Ravel, the feisty chairwoman of California's Fair Political Practices Commission, and Lee Goodman, a DC-based attorney at the firm LeClairRyan.
A mighty high hurdle awaits both Ravel and Goodman: the Senate. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), the minority leader, is a fierce enemy of campaign finance laws, and it's no secret that the road to confirmation for any FEC nominee runs through him. If he opts not to block either Ravel or Goodman, then there is hope for fresh faces at the FEC. If he does, it could be back to square one.

Hello. I've been stocking up on a goodly amount of ammunition of late and besides reloading, I've been trying a few of the less-costly loads available.
Though not "cheap", Georgia Arms' .44 Special "Cowboy" load caught my eye for use in my Taurus Model 431. As just mentioned, it is not inexpensive but neither is it as expensive as some other makers' solid loads in this caliber.
Taurus ceased producing this revolver some years ago. It is essentially the size of an S&W K-frame and the gun fits holsters made this size frame. I bought this one new in the early 90's. It has not been shot thousands upon thousands of rounds but does have a few thousand rounds "under its belt". It has never caused me any problems. From L to R, the ammunition shown is: Corbon 200-gr. DPX, Rucker 240-gr. CSWC over 7.6-gr. Unique, Winchester 200-gr. STHP, Georgia Arms' 200-gr. CFP "Cowboy" load and CCI Blazer 200-gr. GDHP. Today's shooting would be primarily with the "Cowboy" load with a couple of loads of known performance in this gun tossed in for good measure. The revolver is stock other than for the now-discontinued Uncle Mike's checkered rubber grips which I find exceptionally nice on this shooter.
When I tote the Model 431, it is either in this Galco IWB holster, which is advertised for a 3" K-frame or in a High Noon OWB holster for the same size & brand revolver.
The GA "Cowboy load is advertised at 750 ft/sec and out of my 3" Taurus, I expected slightly less. The chronograph work provided no surprises with an average velocity of 729 ft/sec and a standard deviation of 11 ft/sec. Though none of the loads fired today were "bad" with regard to felt recoil, this one exhibited the least "kick" by far; again, no surprises.
Cases appeared to be new Starline and primers (unknown brand) were uniformly seated in the 200 rounds fired today. There were no "tight" rounds and no "chambering" problems were encountered; ditto ejecting fired cases.
Getting things started, I fired three quick double-action groups using CCI's 200-gr. Gold Dot Hollow Point. Average time per shot from a low-ready position was just under 1 second per shot for all three 5-shot runs. Distance was 10 yards. This is my normal "carry load" for this particular .44 Special. This performance was about what I expected with this load/gun combination. (Note that the group is more vertical than horizontal. I attribute this to the Taurus' very low front sight. It can be hard to find at speed. Were I able to change anything about this revolver, it would be to somehow have a higher front sight...that shot to POA, of course.)
This 15-shot group was fired using a handloaded 240-gr. cast SWC bullet at about 854 ft/sec average velocity. All 240-gr. loads that I've shot in this particular revolver required a 6 O'clock hold. The group was fired DA but from a seated position with my wrists braced.
The Georgia Arms' "Cowboy" load was fired the same way as the SWC handload. A dead-on POA pretty much matched POI with this load.
This group was fired at 25 yards. It was done "slow-fire" and in double-action. I was seated and with my wrists braced. I think that the GA ammo is plenty accurate enough for most of us and attribute the group size here to my introducing human error into the equation.
I am quite satisfied with the Georgia Arms' light .44 Special load as one for practice or plinking. It is easy to shoot, is easy on the gun and has grouping potential better than my capabilities...at least from this revolver. Any firearm can be a "law unto itself" concerning what it will group best with, but I'd be willing to bet that most folks would be pleased with this GA load use in their .44 Specials, especially if they are more compact than the N-frame S&W's or large Rugers.
As I've mentioned in my post on this company's .38 Special ammunition, I bought this ammunition at the normal rates and received no financial incentives from Georgia Arms for any of these unsolicited posts.
If you think that this load might be one that would just "fit your pistol", GA can be contacted here:

IBM announces new Storage for Small and Medium Size Business workloads
Visits (17155)
Well, it's Tuesday again, and you know what that means! IBM Announcements!
Today also happens to be [Election Day] in the United States, and some have questioned IBM's logic of making major storage announcements on Election Day. During the campaigns, a major theme was to help Small and Medium size businesses, because these are the engines of economic growth and improved employment.
To tie in with this Election Day theme, all of today's [storage announcements are designed for Small and Medium size business workloads]! Whether you want to [Move Forward] with new features and functions to help transform your business for the future; [Live Free] with improved flexibility and ease-of-use for your storage infrastructure; adopt a more [Green and Envi
Hopefully, you all saw today's Launch Webcast on these announcements, but in case you missed it, waiting in line at the polling station to cast your vote, or caught without electricity or Internet access from [Superstorm Sandy], it is now available [On-Demand].
Here is a quick recap:
Whether you are a midsize business looking to expand, or a large enterprise with midsize workloads, these products could be just the right solution for you! To learn more, see the [November 6th Storage Announcement Landing Page].

Program will help manufacturers of plumbing-related products demonstrate low-lead content
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) has announced it is now providing manufacturers of plumbing-related products certification to Annex G of ANSI/NSF 61.
Annex G is an optional evaluation method for products to demonstrate less than 0.25% weighted average lead content. For manufacturers to comply with this standard, products exceeding 0.25 percent weighted average lead content will have to be re-engineered or new products will need to be developed to replace them.
"UL is aware that test protocols recognized by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and required in Assembly Bill 1334 are absent from Annex G," said Jeff Smith, general manager, UL Global Water Business. "Confusion around the regulation is apparent so we have developed a course of action to help manufacturers quickly and smoothly navigate the compliance process."
In addition to offering the certification to Annex G, UL is creating a separate certification program for low-lead compliance that will include testing of metal alloys to demonstrate compliance to AB 1953. This program will help manufacturers with products that are required to demonstrate compliance with the California law, but are not covered by or specifically included in ANSI/NSF 61. This program will also give manufacturers the option of demonstrating compliance with the law using a means other than Annex G.
An additional benefit of this standalone program is that UL can include testing protocols as soon as they are recognized by the DTSC, rather than waiting for adoption of the protocols into Annex G.
"UL is currently participating in round-robin testing with other manufacturers and certifying bodies in order to establish a clear, reproducible and scientifically sound approach to demonstrating compliance with AB1953, but there is no guarantee that the California DTSC will recognize the methods," said Smith. "In the event that testing protocols and methods are added to Annex G of Standard 61, UL will be fully prepared to immediately offer this service."
For more information, please contact Tom Bowman at 847.664.3796 or [email protected]. The bill can be viewed in its entirety at www.leginfo.ca.gov.

Just after 2:30 p.m. Caney Creek Fire Department was dispatched to a mobile home fire in the 17000 block of Pine View. The first arriving unit on the scene stated he had heavy fire conditions in a mobile home. Needham and Central Montgomery County also were en route to assist with the fire.
The home owner Selena Armstrong told firefighters she was asleep when the smoke detectors started going off. She immediately got up and when she opened the door to the heating unit, "it was like a rocket:, she said. Flames where going into the attic. She also told them her small dog was in a kennel in her bedroom and she was not able to get to her.
Crews battled the stubborn fire for quite sometime as it ran through the attic. As one crew had entered near the rear of the home and worked it's way in starting making progress on cutting off the fire. That's when the roof collapsed on them. A RIT team was immediately deployed as air horns sounded from the fire trucks warning other firefighters to evacuate the home. The crew made it out, covered in debris, however their hose lies were trapped under the roof. One of the firefighters had his helmet broken as the roof came in.
Crews were able to locate the kennel in the bedroom covered in debris but the dog was not in it.
Then almost two hours later as firefighters were overhauling the home they lifted the couch to move it outside. Under it, "Lucy" shaking and scared but uninjured. Firefighters imMediately move the dog outside and administered oxygen.
Selena was unable to hold back her emotions as she took "Lucy" in her arms.
Armstrong who lives at the home with her 15-year-old son had no insurance. The home and contents were a total loss.
Assistant Montgomery County Fire Marshal Joe Manz said that this is one time without a doubt he can sy that smoke detectors saved Ms. Armstrong's life.

Dana Zemack has been making stick figure comics since she was 12. This week, she made one just for us.
Exciting things happening up in the sky this week. The Kepler telescope, which scouts the sky for new planets, just found a brand new one, and it's looking a lot like a mirror of earth. If it has an atmosphere, the planet, named Kepler 22b, would have a temperature of about 72 degrees, which is just balmy enough to support life. Life! Amazingly, Kepler 22b also orbits its own star that just happens to look just like our very own sun. And at 600 light years away, it would take us just a hop, skip and 22 million years to get there.
So we might have a twin planet? You can see a rendering of potentially lovely Kepler 22b here. We probably each have alien twins out there, too. Squint hard and you might see mine waving at you.

Darling be home soon
Posted by Henry on May 16, 2003
In Reply to: Shoot the Moon posted by Lotg on May 15, 2003
: : : : : : I looked up the archives and found one unanswered reference to this.
: : : : : : I'm not even absolutely sure I understand what the phrase means. So can anyone tell me the meaning of the term 'shoot the moon', and its origins?
: : : : : I can only offer that "to shoot the moon" means in certain card games to win every trick or point in any given hand.
: : : : : There is a related expression "to shoot for the moon", which is obviously the previous stage in the process, meaning to set oneself a very ambitious target without much chance of success. Therefore if one actually *does* manage to "shoot the moon", one has achieved a very unlikely outcome.
: : : : : Both expressions may be connected with the fact that "the moon" has long been used as a symbol for something utterly and unrealistically unobtainable - cf. "There's no use crying for the moon" and "He's asking for the moon there".
: : : : From Brewer; Shoot the Moon (To). To remove house furniture by night to avoid distraint.
: : : : In other words, to do a moonlight flit! There appears to be some confusion with this phrase and shoot for the moon.
: : : All that I have to contribute is that "Shoot the Moon" was the title of an early 1980s movie about a divorcing couple. Albert Finney and Diane Keaton star. Lots of ugly stuff happens.
: : I have also heard the phrase used to mean "go for broke" (there's a phrase for you), or "give it all you've got, as in try your hardest, or "Let's shoot the moon!" when you want to celebrate, go out and have a good time.
: : Wow thanks. The moonlight flit theory sure was unexpected.
It's OK to shoot the moon
But darling be home soon.
From Darling Be Home Soon by The Loving Spoonful
Written by John Sebastian, released 1967
A great single from a great group!

With Melbourne sweltering through four days of temperatures above 40 degrees, a record number of players have pulled out of the Australian Open tennis championship.
As thousands of spectators write home about being in what feels like an ''oven'' and ''dancing on a hotplate'', and people passing out or hallucinating, international superstars such as Andy Murray are questioning whether it's worth going on at all.
It's a good question. Melbourne is set to host the Australian Open, which typically occurs in January, until the 2030s. At the same time, the scenarios painted by climate scientists suggest that what feels like an extreme heat wave this year might become the norm two or three decades from now.
Can we expect players to keep going in this kind of heat, hitting the ball for hours on end in direct sunlight? Can we expect the kind of tourism and revenue the event generates for the city to continue?
Last year a record 686,000 fans attended the Australian Open, making Melbourne the southern hemisphere's mecca of tennis. About 350 million more watched from 200 countries an event that earns Victoria about $240 million. The flow-on benefits for Melbourne businesses in the tourism and hospitality sectors, let alone for the city in terms of public transport use, are incalculable.
Sport is an integral part of Australian life. In Victoria, about 2.2 million were spectators at live sporting events, mostly outdoors, in 2009-10. The year after, revenues from such events were more than $13 billion, and rising.
Premier Denis Napthine recently announced that the Rod Laver Arena and its precinct would receive a $338 million upgrade. That's no short-term investment and cements the city's desire to keep the global sports event here.
The laws of physics will always trump politics. How will Melbourne, let alone an event such as the Australian Open, cope with a global temperature rise of 2 or 3 degrees? Has the facility and the city planned to manage unavoidable climate change? Where are the voices in the world of tennis speaking up for action to avoid unmanageable warming?
Or is it time, sadly, to accept that perhaps tennis should be a winter sport in Australia; a fact forced on us by an increasingly hostile environment-an environment of our making. Heatwaves are more than just uncomfortable for people - heat stress can kill. About 374 people lost their lives in the heatwave immediately preceding the catastrophic Black Saturday fires five years ago. That's twice as many as those who died from the flames. The scars from those fires - physical and mental - of both the fires and the heatwave are still raw for many.
Last year Australia endured its hottest year on record, with the hottest summer, the hottest January, and the hottest September. Fire authorities tell us, in no uncertain terms, that the season is starting earlier and finishing later, with a higher and higher risk of extreme fire weather throughout. At the end of the hose, few question the link between the fires and climate change, even if some of our politicians and their advisers are more short sighted.
In Australia today, the number of record-high temperatures exceeds record lows by about five to one. Scientists at the University of Melbourne recently showed that, with odds of 100 to one against, the record hot weather is hotter than it would otherwise have been if left to its own devices. The trend towards extreme swelters has human fingerprints all over it.
This is a country nearly 1 full degree warmer, on average, than it was a little over a century ago. If, collectively, we can reverse emissions of carbon dioxide in the next decade or less, we stand a pretty good chance of keeping the globe from warming more than 2 degrees. Even that will stretch our capacity - personally and as a community - to cope, but we'll get to keep our way of life, more or less.
But fail to act and temperatures will soar beyond all recognition - 3 degrees by mid century, 4 degrees or more by 2100.
It's won't be a nice, slow, gentle climb. More likely the warming will come in fits and starts and leaps; pushing the boundaries of extreme weather events beyond anything we're familiar with.
If a study published in the highly reputable journal Nature last year is even close to right, then, with no action, the climate of Australia's capital cities, including Melbourne, is likely to change so radically by the 2040s that exceptional extremes of heat become humdrum, if not also more disruptive and deadly.
This is the new, hard reality emerging - as real as heat and flames and torrential downpours. As we struggle to hold a world-class tournament in a world of less than 1 degree of warming, can you imagine what 2 or 3 degrees or more will mean? It could well mean an end to the Australian Open, if we're not careful.

Maryland's economy is headed in the wrong direction. While the unemployment rate here is better than the national average, it remains high at 6.9 percent. What's more, Maryland actually lost 11,000 jobs in the month of June, the third highest loss in the country. With its natural resources and highly educated workforce, Maryland should be booming, not receding. What our state needs is a new vision to catapult its huge potential into a global reality.
Going global is the key. Thanks to our highly-ranked schools and universities, Maryland has a knowledge-based economy. But we can do even more to establish industrial hubs around nanotechnology, human genomics, cyber-security and health care and cancer research. We should also aggressively recruit investors from abroad to finance these enterprises.
America is the top destination for individuals seeking world-class medical attention. With the National Institutes for Health and Johns Hopkins University, Maryland should be the top of the top and a magnet for research dollars. We are, in fact, well-positioned to attract at least $1 billion in new investment from donors overseas who want to tackle deadly diseases and, in the process, save lives around the globe.
But we need to do more. State government policies should be made more pro-business. For example, even a modest reduction in our 8.25 percent corporate tax rate should be enacted to inspire companies to take a second look at relocating to Maryland.
We also need to work harder to support the businesses that are already here. The story of Larry Lorshbaugh is instructive. A 29-year employee of the Good Humor plant in Hagerstown, Lorshbaugh and 400 other workers are now out of a job. The plant, owned by Unilever, was shut down last month due to high costs. The owners decided that it would be cheaper to make ice cream in states like Tennessee and Missouri. Did Maryland officials fight to keep the plant? Not hard enough, apparently. These workers deserved better and, as a result of poor public planning, good paying jobs have been lost.
Maintaining a vibrant manufacturing sector must be a priority for our state. Doing so would help Maryland take advantage of its natural strength as a trading partner with the world. Take the example of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Last year, the UAE had a trade deficit with the U.S. of $16 billion. That means that the U.S. sold $16 billion more in goods and services to the UAE than the UAE sold here. Maryland ranked 19th among states with $172 million of the $16 billion in commerce.
Clearly, we can do more. Texas, California, Florida and other states are eating our lunch! By setting a target of boosting Maryland exports to the UAE to $1 billion, we can create good-paying jobs for thousands of Marylanders.
Here's a concrete example of how this might work. As Qatar gears up to host the World Cup in 2022, it plans to spend upward of $300 billion on infrastructure alone. Towson-based Black and Decker should be touted as the exclusive supplier of tools that will go into building that infrastructure. The question is: Is Maryland government doing enough to make that happen? Answer: We can do more.
We can also do more with our own infrastructure. Trade requires a top-flight infrastructure, yet we in Maryland are struggling with poor roads, congestion and old bridges. We need to build new roads and bridges of 21st century quality. Rather than raising taxes on our citizens and businesses, why not look abroad for help. We can take advantage of the $1 trillion in sovereign wealth funds that are out there looking for investment opportunities. Imagine tapping other countries' wealth to build better highways and, in the bargain, create thousands of good paying, Maryland construction jobs. Other states have experimented with this approach and it's worked.
Maryland can and should be a prime investment target for the world. Our economic fortunes can be improved if we vigorously embark on a multi-pronged approach that includes maximizing our knowledge-based economy, creating a more business-friendly environment, expanding our exports and attracting investment dollars to our state.

Hugh Jackman weighs in on The Wolverine. The cast and crew of Green Lantern explain why we've seen so little of the film. Plus we sort through the madness to figure out the future of DC superhero movies!
Spoilers from here on out!
Top image from Thor.
The Avengers
Here's a description of Hawkeye's costume, which was unveiled at a recent event at CinemaCon in Las Vegas:
Disney/Marvel showed a featurette about the upcoming production of the film. In the featurette, there was an artist rendition of actor Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye character. The costume is not the purple costume from the comic books. But, it is a black sleeveless costume with a little bit of maroon. There is the Hawkeye symbol on the chest and he carries modern professional bow.
All of that sounds more or less like his outfit in Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch's Ultimates books, assuming it's accurate. [Latino Review]
Green Lantern
Mark Strong, who plays Sinestro in the movie, talks a little bit about how the movie's CGI-heavy world was realized and why there have been relatively few production photos:
"[There's] all this Earth-bound stuff and there's space stuff. And obviously the space stuff was all in a big green warehouse and we all wore grey tracksuits with dots on. It's like trying to make a jigsaw puzzle with two thirds of the pieces missing, so I can't wait to see it myself...They've released something, but it's all going to be coming out in June. I think that stuff takes a while to get right, they don't want to release it before it's ready."
On that topic, Warner Bros. execs explain the early disappointing reaction to the movie's first trailer is because of the extensive post-production. Incoming Warner Bros. president Jeff Robinov (a lot more on him in a moment) explains:
"We are on a learning curve in getting 3-D materials and marketing materials on the same schedule. [The advertising campaign] has been delayed strictly from production. We won't be in this position again."
Fellow exec Sue Kroll adds:
"Part of the reason the response to the first trailer was lukewarm was that the big-scale sequences weren't ready to show, and we suffered for it. We can't afford to do that again."
The Green Mile and Sin City actor Michael Clarke Duncan is reportedly in talks to voice the Green Lantern Corps's resident drill sergeant, the tough but lovable Kilowog. As usual, don't consider this confirmed until we hear something official. IMDB actually lists Dennis Haysbert as voicing the character, but that might well just be a misunderstanding based on the fact that he voiced Kilowog in the Justice League cartoon. [Latino Review]
Here's a rough version of the action figure for Parallax. [Cosmic Book News]
DC Movies
There's been a lot of ink spilled over incoming Warner Bros. president Jeff Robinov's plans for the various DC Comics properties, so let's sort out what he actually said. First of all, yes, a Justice League movie does appear to be on track for 2013, and the implication in the original profile is that The Flash and Wonder Woman could emerge as individual movie franchises after Justice League. Robinov also says the Wonder Woman TV show wouldn't present a problem for a movie version, pointing to Smallville and Superman Returns as an instance where TV and movie versions can exist simultaneously without problems.
Now, the big thing people appear to be reacting to is the idea that Batman will be rebooted after the Christopher Nolan movies wrap up. Here's what he actually says on the topic:
"We have the third Batman, but then we'll have to reinvent Batman…Chris Nolan and [producing partner and wife] Emma Thomas will be producing it, so it will be a conversation with them about what the next phase is."
So yes...there will be another Batman movie at some point down the line, and Nolan and Thomas will be involved in some capacity (of course, Tim Burton was also a producer on Batman Forever, so make of that what you will). To which I would simply respond: well, duh, of course another Batman movie will eventually get made. After all, Christopher Nolan is currently finishing up the most successful reboot in movie history, so Warner Bros. is undoubtedly going to try it again.
And if it happens at all in the near future, Robinov's suggestion appears to be that it will spin out of the Justice League movie, so we're probably talking somewhere between 2014 and 2017. But all that assumes Warner Bros. can get its act together and get its superhero movies off the ground, which isn't something they've historically been all that successful at. Either way, it doesn't affect The Dark Knight Rises in the slightest, so this isn't really worth worrying about. [Hero Complex]
Here's a bunch of new posters with helpful exposition about the various Asgardian characters, plus a few general promo photos. [Daily Blam]
Here's a character poster for Hogun, one of the Warriors Three, as played by Tadanobu Asano. [Spinoff Online]
And here's a new international poster. [FirstShowing.net]
The Wolverine
Star Hugh Jackman explains where the project is up to now that original director Darren Aronofsky has left the project and their intended shooting location, Japan, is recovering from a natural disaster:
"We need to find another director and once we've found that, we'll be able to know. It's too early to call on Japan, I'm not sure where they're at, so now we're finding another director, but Fox is very anxious to make the movie and we're moving ahead full steam to find another director."
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II
Here's a new image showing Harry in the ruins of Hogwarts. [Examiner]
The Hobbit
Here's our first look at Andy Serkis back on set and in his incredibly flattering motion capture suit for Gollum. [CinemaBlend]
Dark Shadows
Thomas McDonell, who has appeared in the Disney film Prom, has reportedly joined the movie as the younger version of Johnny Depp's Barnabas Collins. [The Hollywood Reporter]
Michael Sheen is still rumored to be up for a part, and now there's some more concrete speculation on which role it might be - he's reportedly up for Roger, the scheming brother of Michelle Pfeiffer's Elizabeth Collins Stoddard. [Deadline]
Wanted 2
I doubt anyone thought this was still happening - hell, we're already getting pretty close to declaring Kick-Ass 2 dead - but star James McAvoy put the final nail in the coffin at a recent red carpet, simply saying, "I don't know, I think it's gone." [Live For Films]
Warm Bodies
I Am Number Four's Teresa Palmer is reportedly in talks to play Marion, "the daughter of one of the humans' military leaders who is tiring of a life of constantly fighting off zombie attacks." This movie is, as you might imagine, set in a world overrun by zombies, and it follows Nicholas Hoult's zombie hero "R." as he forms an unlikely friendship with the girlfriend of one of the people he killed, which sets in motion some world-changing events. [Heat Vision]
Executive producer Joel Wyman discusses the rookie agent who's about to be introduced and is played by Boardwalk Empire's Emily Meade:
"We try and expand our storytelling week to week to a way that we are able to tell, I guess, deeper stories about our main characters. So many of the guest stars that come on are there to do one main thing and that's to reflect back on our main characters and to learn more about them and sort of uncover more aspects of their personality and deepen them for the viewer. That character will definitely be there to do that."
And on whether the character will in fact be recurring next season:
"We always protect ourselves by saying that because you never know. When we used Seth Gable, for instance, he turned out to be so great. And it's just those little discoveries that you're like 'Wow, you never know.' We always like to just know that we're covered, should it go great."
Torchwood: Miracle Day
The show is currently in week ten or eleven of production, and it's now been confirmed that each episode will be 50 minutes long. There's a ton of casting updates that you can check out here, along with a fairly extensive roundup of the recent filming updates, but there's one casting note that we're particularly intrigued by. According to IMDB - always a dicey way to start, but bear with us - Olivia Hallinan is listed as playing "Emma / Kate Dysart." This is interesting because Hallinan actually appeared in the first series episode "Out of Time" - which, by first series Torchwood standards, was actually not a bad episode - as Emma-Louise Cowell, one of the passengers on a 1953 plane that travels through the rift and lands in the present day. At the end of the episode, Emma is the only character that stays behind in the present day, so it's possible she will return. It seems weird for the show to return to such a minor point in a season meant to attract lots of new American viewers, but hey... this would only be like the hundredth most bonkers thing Torchwood has ever done. Anyway, as always, keep your grains of salt at the ready. [Doctor Who News Page]
Executive producer Chris Fedak warns, "Something terrible happens to someone we love." This may tie in with the character of Clyde Decker, which the series is currently casting and is described as a "determined and remorseless CIA agent who will go to any lengths and spare no expense - or life - in order to keep the CIA's secrets buried." [TV Line]
No Ordinary Family
The season/probable series finale will indeed kill off a regular, and it will also explain how the Powells got their powers in the first place. [TV Line]
The Event
Here's a synopsis for the currently untitled episode 17:
Vice President Jarvis agrees to meet with an adversary; Sen. Lewis reports the results of the staff blood tests; Sophia continues her search for the super weapon; Leila questions her place; Sean and Vicky find who they've been looking for.
The show will reportedly end on "more of a climax than a cliffhanger", and it apparently involves "something that is truly momentous and, I believe, never seen before [on TV]." [TV Line]
Despite some recent IMDB postings to the contrary, the show's producers confirm that Jeffrey Dean Morgan is definitely not returning as John Winchester in the near future. [E! Online]
Series creator Howard Overman previews what's ahead in the eight-episode third series:
They're all going to have brand new powers. Nobody will have the same powers as in the second series. It's quite daunting because they've had their powers for two series, and you've got to come up with a whole new set of powers, and we're very much constrained with the type of powers we can do because you have to think about what works in terms of the character and story, as well as what's achievable on our budget. We set up the idea that the powers are always linked to personality, so even now the characters' choices are influenced and reflect the characters' personalities, or else it just feels a bit arbitrary.
"There's one slightly bigger storyline towards the end of series three. I think there are two big stories in all because we've got eight episodes this year. One is a sort of mid-season break. It won't become like other shows where they're saving the world, although in one episode they kind of do save the world."

The View From Mexico
I arrived in Mexico this afternoon eager to find out if a buzz existed about tomorrow's Gold Cup final between Mexico and the USA. Coming into a touristy airport like Cancun doesn't tell you much about Mexico. In fact you might as well be somewhere in middle America, because probably less awareness of the beautiful game exists in beach laden tourist traps that cater to Americans who don't travel much outside their neighborhood than in your average urban area in the US.
But Cancun of course wasn't my final destination today, just my point of entry. (Or more honestly the only city in the Yucatan with a nonstop to Fort Lauderdale.) After a bus ride to Playa Del Carman, I walked through the city streets before boarding a ferry for Cozumel. In the town of Playa Del Carman a buzz permeated about the match whenever in my very poor Spanish I brought up the match. The locals feel that Hugo Sanchez is depending too much on grizzled old warriors and not deepening the player pool enough to match the energy and pace of the Americans. Now of course a year ago the Mexicans were complaining that Ricardo LaVolpe had chased away too many veterans from the national team and that he could beat the USA either.
On board the ferry a different view was brought to my attention. "The Americans can't beat us forever," said one passenger and " They miss Reyna and McBride," said another. Then after arriving in Cozumel and checking into my hotel room I ventured into San Miguel away from the tourist traps and chain restaurants to a small outdoor cafe' named La Moreno. In my broken Spanish I spoke with the cooks and waiters (some of whom knew enough English to understand me even when I misused some words) about tomorrow. The consensus at the cafe' was that Hugo Sanchez is "el loco" and should be sacked if he cannot beat the USA tomorrow. I agreed to come back to the same restaurant tomorrow to watch the game (which sadly means I will miss our EPL Talk Chat) on a big screen TV they are renting for the event. Yes this game means that much to the Mexicans. Considering we have a hex over Mexico, I just wish people back home would even be aware of what our national team has accomplished and what a big game Chicago is hosting tomorrow.

Coarse salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pot
2 carrots, peeled
2 ribs celery and their greens
1 medium yellow skinned onion, peeled and halved
Coarse salt and pepper
1 fresh or dried bay leaf

2 cloves garlic, cracked away from skins
1 (2-ounce) tin flat fillet anchovies, drained
Handful flat-leaf parsley, about 1/4 cup loosely packed
1 lemon, zested
Crusty bread, to pass at table
- Combine the veal and the next 5 ingredients then reserve mix and rinse off your hands.
- Heat a medium soup pot over medium to medium-high heat. Begin to chop veggies while pot heats up: dice carrots into 1/4 inch pieces, chop celery and onion. Add extra-virgin olive oil to hot pot and carrots. Turn carrots to coat them in oil and add celery and onion as you get them chopped up. Work near the stove so you can chop, then drop into the pot. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper and a bay leaf. Stir vegetables and cook 5 minutes to begin to soften. Do not let vegetables brown, reduce heat if necessary. Add the wine and cook for 1 minute. Next, add beans and tomatoes and stock to the pot. Put a lid on the pot and raise heat to high. When soup boils, about 3 minutes, add 1-inch balls of veal dumplings directly to the pot. When you are done adding the veal, stir in the egg noodles. Simmer stoup for 6 minutes to cook noodles and meat dumplings. Adjust seasonings and turn the heat off, then let stoup stand a couple of minutes.
- Pile garlic, anchovies, parsley and lemon zest on a cutting board and finely chop the mixture, then transfer to a small dish.
- Serve stoup in shallow bowls with a couple of teaspoonfuls of gremolata on top. Stir the gremolata throughout the stoup and pass crusty bread at the table for dipping and mopping.

The bible and Zionism
The Bible, the Old Testament, has become a mainstay of human culture, but it is first and foremost a historical document of the Jewish people and our culture. It tells the story of our ancient kingdoms and civilization in the Land of Israel, and therefore it kept alive the tie of the people of Israel to the land of Israel for 2000 years. It forms the moral and cultural basis of Zionist ideology and aspirations.
The Bible, the Old Testament, is accepted by the three major Western faiths. It is a major work of Western civilization. The Bible documents the historic connection of the Jewish people to the land of Israel, even for those who do not believe that the Bible is the literal word of God, and even for those who do not believe in God at all. It is the historic epic of the Jewish people in our land.

NEW ORLEANS — Hillary Rodham Clinton praised former Defense Secretary Robert Gates' ability to work with presidents of both political parties on Monday, sidestepping a passage in his new book that asserts she cast a vote on the Iraq war for political purposes.
The former secretary of state said in a speech to about 4,000 auto dealers that Gates was a "very good colleague" and her main takeaway from his new book was his respect for both Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
"He ended up admiring both President Bush and President Obama and at first glance you can't think of two more different people," Clinton said. "But what he said, which I wish people would really pay attention to, is that even though they may have arrived at decisions using different processes … he respected the way that they stepped up and made decisions, whether you agreed with them or not."
Clinton did not address a passage in the book in which Gates writes that he heard Clinton say her opposition to a 2007 troop surge in Iraq was dictated by campaign politics. In his book, "Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War," Gates recalls both Obama and Clinton suggesting their opposition to the surge was based on presidential politics. "To hear the two of them making these admissions, and in front of me, was as surprising as it was dismaying."
In the book, Gates, a Republican, also praises Clinton's intelligence and pragmatism, calling her a "superb representative of the United States all over the world."
The former first lady and New York senator is considering another White House bid in 2016 and expects to make a decision later this year.
In a question-and-answer session, Clinton said her biggest regret as secretary of state was the killing of four Americans in the 2012 attacks on a diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. She called it "a terrible tragedy" that illustrated the challenge of protecting American civilians serving in dangerous parts of the world.
Clinton also took a drive down memory lane in remarks to the National Automobile Dealers Association convention, recalling the first car she ever bought — a 1963 Oldsmobile Cutlass for $220 — and the time her yellow Fiat was stolen in Arkansas in the 1970s and totaled in a high-speed chase.
"One of the regrets I have about my public life is that I can't drive anymore," she said. "The last time I actually drove a car myself was 1996 and I remember it very well and unfortunately so does the Secret Service."
Touching on an auto industry milestone, Clinton said she was excited that Mary Barra had become General Motors' chief executive officer, the first woman to lead a major global automaker.
"I guess you can say she broke through the steel ceiling not the glass ceiling," Clinton said
