This is an online course. Please do not make travel arrangements for this course. After you receive confirmation that you are enrolled, you will be sent further instructions.
This course is designed to aid programmers who are working with IBM InfoSphere BigInsights. Writing programs that extract data from unstructured text can be a daunting task. The student will learn how to create annotators through the use of IBM's Annotated Query Language (AQL). Analyzing data using Apache Hadoop requires that map / reduce programs be written. The student will learn how to use Jaql to create high level programs that are decomposed into Hadoop map / reduce programs. People familiar with the Hadoop technology are aware of other open source products that are used in this environment. This course will give the student an overview of Apache Pig, ZooKeeper, and Map / Reduce.
This course does not cover InfoSphere BigSheets. InfoSphere BigSheets is covered in IBM InfoSphere BigInsights Analytics for Business Analysis (DW640SE).

Hello everyone! I'm new to bookselling, and will be contacting bookstores pretty soon about selling my book. I'm not a salesperson at all, and have no idea what to say or how to approach a bookstore. Do any of you have tips on the proper/standard verbage? I also want to know how pricing works. Do I sell the book to them? Or is it normally a consignment type of deal? If I do sell it to them, how much should they make from the book? Is there a standard percentage? Any advice would be grately appreciated. Thank you! (I'm posting this in more than one group, so my apologies if you see this question again.)
Hi Kitty,
Retail bookstores, especially the big chain stores, won't deal with the author directly. They buy books through book distributors. If you use print-on-demand through LSI (Lightning Source), they distibute through Ingram's--a major distributor. There are other distributors, local and national, but you'll need to do your homework to find them and find out what is needed to contract with them.
Smaller, independently-owned bookstores will work directly with authors--but not all of them. Some will only work with distributors like the chain stores. You can negotiate the terms so that it benefits both you and the storeowner. I, personally, would advise against doing consignment unless you live near the store. Why? Because unless you can easily keep tabs on sales and check on progress, you may just be giving away your books.
But don't overlook other retail outlets. If your book covers an area/topic, look for stores in your area where your book could fit in as part of their merchandise. For example, if your novel has a protagonist who owns a diner and you live near a cafe that has reading area or sells other merchandise--approach them.
This works. One of our best-selling books can be found in a record shop.
Hi Kitty,
I think the idea of approaching independent stores is a good one. A large, independent bookstore in my city has a section that features local and independent authors. I don't know the details but I believe they have a consignment policy. And as I understand it, each book they sell has to have an ISBN.
I just love Zetta's idea of trying other stores. I'm going to try that!
Hi Kitty, First, it's important to go in person and have a copy of your book and a business card with your contact info in hand. Ask for the manager or person responsible for purchasing books, then ask if he/she would be willing to stock your book. Leave a copy for them to read, if possible. If they aren't available, get their name and contact info and leave a book for them. Then follow-up by phone. As for pricing, I purposely didn't print the price on my cover as I wanted to be able to change it as needed. Mostly I priced the book a few dollars less than it sells for on Amazon and asked the bookstore to use their price stickers (and of course pay the tax.) I was never able to get the store to buy the books outright; all my placements were on consignment with mostly a 60-40 split (60 me, 40 the store.)
Now, for the bad news. I never sold more than a couple of books in a bookstore, and for the amount of work it was, it wasn't worth it. I write women's fiction, so I began thinking about where my target audience hangs out. I began visiting nail salons, hair salons, boutiques and spas; places where my book would either by the only book or one of a few. My sales took off. So, my question is do you really want your book in a store with hundreds of other books? What's going to make yours stand out? Where's our target audience? Think about it.
Good luck,
Judith Marshall
Author of "Husbands May Come and Go but Friends are Forever," optioned for the big screen
so I began thinking about where my target audience hangs out. I began visiting nail salons, hair salons, boutiques and spas; places where my book would either by the only book or one of a few.
Terrific! Great advice. Really the first step of any marketing plan should be to ask this question ("Who is my audience?" and "Where can they be found?") and so many skip it.
I recently bought 2 books, both by local authors, at a crafts store. The store represents 100 local potters, painters, jewelry makers, etc, so the books are just an extension of its original purpose. When I take my book in, I'm going to try to wrangle some front window space.
Great advice about thinking about your target audience for placing your books in retail shops. Spas and salons sound perfect for your book. I'll have to spend more time thinking where to place mine.
Thank you all so very much for your advice! I truly appreciate it! Gives me a lot to think about. I was leaning toward independent stores bc I really didn't expect I could get into the big chains, except online. I will look into other outlets as Zetta & Judith suggested. @Petrea, I do have an ISBN. I printed through createspace, but I bought my own ISBN directly through Bowkers, which I'm glad I did. @Karma, I agree, that was great advice. I do need to seek out my audience. The name of my book & the cover lends itself to erotica, but it's female contemporary fiction. I'm trying to figure how I can approach women in a beauty shop bc the title is so risque. I've been contacting book clubs, and so far I've had three respond. Two did book reviews and one wants to put me in their author's spotlight. I am concerned about what Judith said, about putting all of that work in, and getting so little out of it. Makes me wonder if it's worth it? But I would love to see my book in at least one store:)
How do you get an ISBN? I am new at all this and I would like to write a book and what are the steps? I need a ghost writer to perfect my book and then what happens? How do I get the front cover done and how much does it cost who does the art work for the cover which mine will just have a courthouse on the cover. Please let me know all the steps please.
@Kitty - If you plan to be a successful author, you have to be prepared to do the work. And if you're self publishing, that means you have to do ALL the work. The writing is the "easy" part, but it's only the BEGINNING. After publication, it's all about marketing and promotion.
Yes, there will be times you'll wonder if it was worth it, but if you give up, then all that hard work would have been for nothing and you would have been better off doing something else.
You have to ask yourself what is YOUR purpose/reason/motivation to be a published author. Is it just to see your book on a shelf in a bookstore, or do you feel and believe that your writing has something of value and you would like as many people to read it as possible. Or is your motivation something else entirely.
Success and fame doesn't happen overnight. The TV and media only makes it look that way.
Zetta is absolutely right. Even though it's been almost three years since I published my book, I still spend one to two hours a day doing marketing. Just got my 50th 5-star review yesterday as a result. As Zetta said, ask yourself what your ultimate goal is. Mine was to get my book optioned, which I'm thrilled to say has happened through my direct efforts. And yes, it's great to see your book on a shelf in a bookstore (see my picture). But if your goal involves selling books, you've got to be willing to put as much time into marketing it as you did into writing it.
Love the pic, Judith! Congratulations!
Congratlations Judith! That must feel amazing!

text: Waterbury Fire was dispatched to 125 Hillside Ave for a possible structure fire. First due Engine 6 reported they had a large wood boarded up vacant structure with heavy smoke showing. As they worked to open up the building and secure a water supply the ladder companies set up to take the roof. Crews pushed into the structure to gain access to the attic space where the fire appeared to be seated. They would have their work cut out for them chasing fire in the walls and attic space of the top floor. The ladder companies opened up the roof to assist in ventilating the structure as the interior crews pulled the ceilings and opened the walls. The main body of fire was knocked down within about 40 minutes but an extended overhauling operation would be required to get all the hot spots extinguished. The City's Fire Marshal was on scene and the investigation into the cause of the fire was begun as companies started picking up.

Hi everybody,
I was wondering if it is allowed to play, i.e. two times dash on my ettin monster, during one turn.
I read about a rule in this forum, that you are not allowed to play the same OL card twice on the same monster group, but I didn't found a reference and I didn't found these rules neithe rin the rule book, nor in the faq.
I found "Two Overlord cards with the same name cannot be played on the same target in response to the same triggering condition. " in the rules (p.16), but the monster group isn't a triggering condition, or?
Can anyone help?
Page 1 of 1 (8 messages) | 1 |
Dash: "Play this card when activating a monster during your turn. That monster may perform an additional move action this turn in addition to its normal 2 actions."
My understanding is that the triggering condition is "when activating a monster" & the target is the Ettin, so you can't Dash it twice during the same activation. You could Dash another monster during the same turn.
No, you can't 2x Dash on an Ettin because Dash's trigger is "during a monster's activation". However, if you have 2 Ettins, you can Dash the minion, then Dash the master (or vice versa).
A dirty mind is its own reward.
Same thing but different:
Playing twice a "Unholy ritual" card during a turn, choosing the same monster, is not allowed, too?
Is this a triggering condition, too? If yes, is there a definition for a "triggering condition"?
Zwergenkrieger said:
Playing twice a "Unholy ritual" card during a turn, choosing the same monster, is not allowed, too?
Is this a triggering condition, too? If yes, is there a definition for a "triggering condition"?
Unholy Ritual: "Play this card at the start of your turn. Choose one of your monster groups and draw Overlord cards equal to the number of figures from that group on the map. Choose and keep 1 card per hero and discard the rest. Each monster in that group performs 1 less action during this turn."
I believe the triggering condition is "at the start of your turn" & the target is "one of your monster groups", so you can't use it twice. FFG doesn't seem to be big on explicit definitions, at least in D2E …
For clarification. On page 16 of the rule book goes over this fairly well. Here is what it states:
Each card specifies when it may be played. Two Overlord cards with the
same name cannot be played on the same target in response to the same
triggering condition. After resolving the effects of an Overlord card, place
it faceup in the discard pile.
Hopefully that helps.
I die alot.
Triu said:
FFG has a reputation for not always being as explicit as they could be about their rules.
Zwergenkrieger said:
A "triggering condition" is defined as the condition after which the card is allowed to be played, based on the text the card contains. Generally speaking, it is not difficult to tell what the triggering condition of a card is, although sometimes the precise timing of a triggering condition can get murky.
Some examples:
1) "Play at the start of your turn…" The triggering condition is the start of your turn. The "start of your turn" is widely accepted as being up until you begin activating monsters, if I'm not very much mistaken. You may only play one copy of this card per turn, since your turn only starts once for each turn you have.
2) "Play when activating a monster…" The triggering condition is you activating a single monster (NOT a monster group, mind you.) You can only play one copy of this card per monster activation, but you may play several copies of the card per turn, each on a separate monster which you activate. Note in general that monster groups are not activated, only individual monsters. The rules say you must activate all monsters belonging to a group in sequence, but you don't actually activate the group as a whole.
3) "Play during an attack…" The triggering condition is that you are in the midst of making an attack against an enemy target. You may only play one copy on this card per attack, however, if a single monster is able to make two attacks in one turn, you may play a copy of this card on each attack, if you have two of them. Generally speaking, you may wait until after dice are rolled to use the card, unless it specifically says "play before dice are rolled" or "play when declaring an attack." The term "during" an attack is usually meant to refer to the step where surges and abilities are used, which is after dice are rolled.

Not living that far from this area I can tell you the water table is not down right now in this area. Farther north and west the water tables are down, but not in this area. On my land the water is only about 4 feet below the surface. I just checked the water level in my well and a shallow pit well, and both are within inches of normal.
I can also say that even they say the area is mostly granite there are good pockets of true limestone in some of areas up here. I have a call into a friend who drills wells, and I am checking with him if he has drilled wells the area with the booms. He would then know best what is below the ground there.
Edit - My point of limestone verse granite is that limestone does crack in a same type of way to granite, but it would not cause the same type of sound. It would be a much softer type of boom, since it is closer to sandstone than granite.
My company has not been called in yet to help with the situation, but I am expecting a call today. We have vibration experts who use different types of accelerometers to trace vibration signals. I have two level 4 technicians that are itching to go, but no invited guests to the area are not welcome at the moment.

I would also like to say that there are a number of reports coming out of the northwest side of green bay this morning of these sounds. The one report I just heard of was at the west side YMCA, and it was heard by multiple people.
4 days of booms....wow....
I used to live near Eglin AFB and was around when they dropped baby MOABs as well as all other kinds of bombs (I'm no expert so that's why I describe it so elementary)...anyway...the NOISE and the way it would STARTLE the crap outta us in the middle of the night or when we were at the creek and all was quiet, then suddenly KABOOM!!! Over and over and over....I bet it takes a toll on the people up there ESPECIALLY because they have NO CLUE as to what's causing it....
There is another type of warfarenew in its intensity, ancient in its originwar by

Given the HUGE floods last year---could the aquifers possibly be down that much?
I know they've had tremendous drought in Texas and the southern half of the US, but I've not heard that was the case up north last summer, so even with a mild winter with little snowfall shouldn't their aquifers still be relatively well off?
The only "change" I CAN believe in: I Corinthians 15: 51-52!
We did receive more than average rain last spring in this area. That varies depending on where you are in the state. The fall was fairly dry, and we did not receive that much snow this winter. However, this has just brought us back to normal water levels in the ground. Some of the lakes are slightly down, but not much.
Most of northeast Wisconsin and northern Wisconsin is considered more of a flowage than an area with aquifers. Limestone and Sandstone allow water to travel trough it. This does not mean that there are not aquifers in the area. This is not my area of expertise, but I am a fisherman and understand some about our water shed.
I'd like to know if there is anything 'out of place'...like telephone poles slanting, if there is a dam around has it or its surrounding areas changed, are the animals going nuts, does somebody have a camera set on a glass of water or something to record slo-mo movement when those 'booms' occur? Birds unusual? Clouds? Just the little things can sometimes tell us a whole bunch....

CM....are you keeping track of where this stuff is happening in Michigan and Wisconsin. The line it's following? Think I'll dig out my atlas today.
It seemed to start with that crack in Michigan.
Have to check youtube to see if this noise and things have been going on for a while, but no one paid attention to it.
Now, I need to say this.....When I lived out in the country in NW Indiana, we had farmers that would set off these explosive devices to keep the crows an birds out of the newly planted fields.
So many people complained, they had to quit using them. Plus, farmers are usually so busy this time of year they rarely have time for any news. Just sayin'
They also ran these things at night to keep small critters out of the fields.

."The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still, small voice within me."
This is interesting - This comment was made by a local
However I did notice a profound smell of methane (possibly sulfur gas) at different times throughout the night. My theory and after speaking with several locals is that is it trapped gas being released underground and shelves collasping from the lack of pressure of the escaped gas.
Then there is this almost straight south of Clintonville. Looks like they have an idea of where the smell is coming from, but can prove it.
Strange smell causing concern in Fond du Lac

FOND DU LAC - Fifteen feet below Brooke Street in Fond du Lac, a mysterious substance is floating in the holding tanks of a pumping station. The substance was first noticed by a fisherman Tuesday afternoon. The man saw the liquid coming out of the pumping station.
Public Works operations director Stephen Kees says two technicians confirmed both the substance and the smell.
"This is a very milky white substance, kind of like between a petroleum smell and like a sulfur like smell," said Fond du Lac Public Works Operations Director Stephen Kees.
The fire department placed a boom in the Fond du Lac River to stop the liquid from spreading. Fire Chief Peter O'Leary says the pumping station has been shut down since the leak was noticed. O'Leary says only a small amount of the oily substance found it's way into the river. Crews will be spending most of the day pumping out what's left of the oily substance at the pumping station and Chief O'Leary says they have traced the source back from the pumping station sewer line to a recycling center about a block away.
"We went with Public Works to go do some testing of a nearby manhole and saw a substance in the water that wasn't normal, it was a murky white substance that smelled like it was petroleum based," he said.
O'Leary says he believes the leak is coming from a filtration system underneath Sadoff Metal Recycling. O'Leary says lab testing should confirm what the substance is. Sadoff CEO Mark Lasky did not want to go on camera, but tells FOX 11 the company takes environmental concerns seriously. Lasky says Sadoff is conducting it own investigation to see if it is the source of the leak. Lasky says the company has already paid for trucks to pump nearly 17,000 gallons of contaminated water from the pumping station.
"We don't know how much of that is contaminated, let's just says it's all contaminated and we could have had a significant environmental impact on our rivers," O'Leary said.
A hazardous situation averted thanks to an alert citizen.

And so we will be with the Lord forever.
By the way Warm Wisconsin. Thanks for joining in. I see you're a relatively new poster and very happy to have you. What a great time for you to jump in.
Maybe we can get some more inside info from what you are directly seeing and hearing. This is a mystery for sure. But hope you do have your bob ready to go if needed.
Looking forward to more of your posts. Thanks

Yes---and the areas of explosions are DIRECTLY SOUTH of Chicken Bone Lake.
But--as I noted on the maps I posted earlier---the fault line (what else would one CALL a "rift in the crust"? That's what the article says it IS)--- follows the Great Lakes and swings out BEYOND (to the west of ) the area where the booms are.
That doesn't necessarily contradict anything, in my mind---if stresses are buildling up ON the "Mid-Continental Rift" -- and it is NOT moving, then that is BAD news--it means the stresses are BUILDING, and are not being relieved. But it would make sense to me that the underground, BUILDING stresses are having an effect on the "neighboring" areas underground, so to speak---and that THEY are starting to squawk and squeak and CRACK under the strain.
It wasn't just Edgar Cayce who had that vision of America being split in half from the Great Lakes down---Gordon Michael Scallion has talked about it, too--
The only "change" I CAN believe in: I Corinthians 15: 51-52!
Bear in mind, by posting these pics, I am by no means endorsing the "seers" one way or another.
I know there are "sources" of info, and then there are "sources"--and I BY NO MEANS recommend anyone walking into the Enemy's minefield by seeking these types of contacts for info. For one thing, the GMS map is suspect because it shows Israel being inundated, which we know from Scripture will NOT happen.
However, we do know that spirit beings---good OR evil---have somehow the ability to see into what we call "the future" a bit farther than we do (though not, of course, with the perfect vision of God himself). When Saul contacted a medium to call up Samuel, he got his information, though he did it in a VERY wrong way; the possessed woman who was following Paul and Barnabas around screaming that they were telling people how to be saved was telling the truth, but the "source" was tainted and Paul delivered her from it by casting out the demon. But it goes to show these creatures DO have access to information, and sometimes it is correct (but sometimes they lie, as well, to deceive us, so we have to be careful).
But, I take these together with many other sources, such as the earlier article I posted about the Mid-Continental rift being essentially a HUGE faultline where the North American continent TRIED to split apart, and which (according to the geologist who wrote the article) "healed" itself. Well, it makes sense to me that, if it ONCE "tried to split apart", then it could do so again, should sufficient force be exerted on it to cause it to do so.
To me, there could be a multiplicity of "forces" to do this. We all worried about the effects on the entire North American plate of what they were doing to the Gulf of Mexico to stop the leak a couple of years ago. Others have many times noted the New Madrid fault zone and the Cascadian range on the "Ring of Fire" fault zone--and here is the Mid-Continental Rift sandwiched between them. Others have mentioned the huge "Yellowstone Caldera"---and that extends almost to the EDGE of this mid-continental rift. Some have mentioned previously unknown or un-researched geo-magnetic forces being affected by the high level of solar activity we are now undergoing. And then there are the more 'out-there' theories of the gravitational effects of planetary and other celestial alignments and their effect on the earth. Add to those "insults" the smaller-level man-made "injuries" of activities such as "fracking".
I am looking at what all this is doing--CUMULATIVELY---to the area. In my personal opinion, we are seeing signs of some very large impending earth movements---I do not know if earthquake or volcanic but personally I favor the former---and it could coalesce with some folks' dreams, visions, and interpretations to produce catastrophic changes in the U.S., if not the world.
All this is, of course, mere speculation--which seems to be all ANYONE has to go on right now.
But this latest report--of a sulphurous, methane-like or petroleum-like smell, of some substances rising to the surface, and the unexplained booming noises---goes along with what anecdotal reports we do have about what was happening in the New Madrid region 100 years ago before THAT fault blew out.

USGS: Micro-quake near Wis. city bothered by booms
Posted: Mar 22, 2012 4:19 PM CDT
Updated: Mar 22, 2012 4:39 PM CDT
By DINESH RAMDE
Associated Press
MILWAUKEE (AP) - Federal geologists confirmed Thursday that a minor earthquake occurred this week near the eastern Wisconsin city where researchers have been investigating a series of unexplained booming sounds.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the 1.5 magnitude earthquake struck Tuesday just after midnight in Clintonville, a town of about 4,600 people about 40 miles west of Green Bay.
Geophysicist Paul Caruso told The Associated Press that loud booming noises have been known to accompany earthquakes. He said it's possible the mysterious sounds that town officials have been investigating are linked to the quake.
"To be honest, I'm skeptical that there'd be a sound report associated with such a small earthquake, but it's possible," Caruso said.
Earthquakes can generate seismic energy that moves underground at thousands of miles per hour, producing a sonic boom when the waves come to the earth's surface, Caruso said.
The U.S. Geological survey says earthquakes with magnitude of 2.0 or less aren't commonly felt by people and are generally recorded only on local seismographs. Caruso said the Tuesday earthquake was discovered after people reported feeling something, and geologists pored through their data to determine that an earthquake did indeed strike.
Local residents have reported late-night disturbances since Sunday, including a shaking ground and loud booms that sound like thunder or fireworks.
City officials investigated and ruled out a number of human-related explanations, such as construction, traffic, military exercises and underground work. The town has scheduled a news conference for Thursday at 6 p.m. but hasn't said what will be discussed.
"The most intriguing point for the historian is that where history and legend meet."

When will they pull the rabbit out of the hat for the other (hundreds? gee, what is the count?) booms and rattles over the last week?
USGS confirms 1.5 magnitude earthquake in Clintonville
Updated: Thursday, 22 Mar 2012, 5:21 PM CDT
Published : Thursday, 22 Mar 2012, 3:15 PM CDT
Ben Krumholz, FOX 11 News
CLINTONVILLE - Things were quiet in Clintonville last night and today with the exception of a bombshell announcement.
The United States Geological Survey this afternoon confirmed a micro earthquake hit the Waupaca County community earlier this week.
This afternoon's earthquake announcement could bring officials a step closer to solving the mystery booms and shakes in Clintonville.
Meanwhile, residents hope the recent stint of quiet means the end of the unusual activity.
The rumblings were first heard and felt on Sunday night. They intensified early Monday morning and continued on Tuesday. Few calls have come in since Wednesday morning.
Overall, Clintonville police dispatch has answered more than 600 calls about the mysterious booms.
The City of Clintonville is holding a news conference tonight to discuss the new information. It will be at the high school at 6 p.m. It is open to the public. You can watch a live stream on fox11online.com.
FOX 11's Ben Krumholz spoke with Paul Caruso, a geophysicist from the U.S. Geological Survey this afternoon.
Caruso confirms, after gathering more data, the USGS was able to identify a boom on Tuesday as a 1.5 magnitude earthquake. He says it happened at 12:15 a.m.
Click here for details on the Clintonville earthquake
The USGS is looking into if the other booms and shakes in Clintonville were also earthquakes. However, he says even if more quakes are found, the 1.5 magnitude quake will likely be the largest.
Caruso tells FOX 11 it is the smallest earthquake he has ever heard of that people actually felt. He says similar earthquakes happen all the time in California, but people never feel them. Caruso says it is because the rock in Wisconsin is very old and well consolidated. He says the 1.5 magnitude quake would have likely only been felt within a few blocks around its epicenter.
"Our seismometers did not detect it initially, so we got reports that people felt something and we went back and looked at the data from that time and in that place and we finally were able to get enough data together to locate the earthquake. It was very small and very hard to locate," said Caurso.
"So does this explain the booms and shakes people felt days before it and a little bit after?" asked FOX 11's Ben Krumholz.
"There may have been additional quakes and we are looking into that right now, trying to locate those if there were additional quakes," Caruso replied.
FOX 11's Ben Krumholz is working on the story and will have more on FOX 11 News at Nine.
~Something wicked this way comes~
The only "change" I CAN believe in: I Corinthians 15: 51-52!
I and a few other have said over the years that some earthquakes can have a "boom" sound, but when nothing showed on USGS and they kept saying "not an EQ", I decided maybe they were something else.
It's not the first time (even this year) that they have gone back in time and added small EQs.
Yes I just heard Diane Sawyer on abc news report that a small earthquake was the reason for noises heard.
We've been talking on various threads here on TB2K for some time now that the USGS is NO LONGER REPORTING "every" quake---they seem to have a "threshold" under which they do not report. But we have had anecdotal reports of even higher-level earthquakes--in the 4's and above--in the Yellowstone area, that are NOT being reported.
Now...if they would do that in Yellowstone, I wonder why....???
And if they would do that HERE, I wonder why...???
The only "change" I CAN believe in: I Corinthians 15: 51-52!
So if this is indeed a quake then it started Sunday night? And is still happening? So they are having quake after quake? Albeit very 'micro', but still, a quake...

E. Scott Pruitt
The EPA's new method for measuring the amount of methane that escapes from natural gas wells is based on flawed data. Oklahoma's attorney general says this misguided policy decision treads on state regulatory authority and stifles resource development.
(July 2012) Thanks for your enlightening editorial about the problems of feed-in tariffs for photovoltaic installations and the distortions they are causing in cost responsibilities among electric utility customers. While these issues are an immediate and growing concern, an entirely different set of problems will emerge over the next decade as the share of renewables in total generation approaches the high levels being dictated by most regulatory authorities.
Michael T. Burr, Editor-in-Chief
A growing wave of rooftop PV projects is starting to look ominous to some utilities. Will lawmakers accept utilities' warnings at face value—or will they suspect they're crying wolf?
My friend Reggie recently asked me for advice about installing photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roof of his boathouse on the river. It has no electricity now, but he wants just enough PV to power a few lights, an automatic garage door opener, and the occasional power tool. I told Reggie the same thing I tell everybody who asks me about rooftop solar: it's exciting but still expensive. Then Reggie explained why I was wrong.
Beacon Power filed bankruptcy last fall, amid a political firestorm sparked by Solyndra's demise. But should the company have received a bailout, so it could continue operating until FERC's new pay-for-performance rules take effect?
Thomas Edison once hoped to make a fortune in the auto business—selling electric cars. Of course it never happened; he and Henry Ford tried and failed to bring a low-cost electric car to market. They scuttled the project after investing $1.5 million toward the effort—more than $32 million in today's dollars. Edison's nickel-iron batteries just couldn't match the performance of Ford's petrol-powered bang-bang.
Today's utility business model depends chiefly on big power plants and long transmission lines—and federal and state policies reinforce that model. But as photovoltaics technology advances and systems get ever cheaper, distributed generation eventually might become the more competitive option. At that point, upstart companies might be better positioned than utilities to capture a share of this growing market, because they won't be constrained by Edison-era economics.
Glen R. Thomas
The governors of New Jersey and Maryland have embarked on a crusade that could topple competitive energy markets in their states—and perhaps beyond. Glen R. Thomas, former chairman of the Pennsylvania PUC, challenges policy makers in the two states to stand up for free markets and stop a destructive race to the bottom.
Among all of the investment priorities in the U.S. electric power industry, one stands out as having the greatest momentum: transmission. This is interesting because transmission is perhaps the most difficult type of power infrastructure to develop, and has been for decades. Editor Michael T. Burr talks with executives at Xcel Energy and Great River Energy to learn how the CAPX2020 consortium has managed to succeed where others failed.
From the Fukushima disaster and its repercussions, to the raging battle over new EPA regulations, 2011 was one of the most volatile years on record for the electric power business. Will 2012 be better or worse than 2011? Cost factors make this a great time to invest, but overhanging uncertainties might bring another year of fear.

Pope Benedict XVI to Resign for Health Reasons
The Vatican announces that he will step down on Feb. 28.
Pope Benedict XVI announced on Monday that he will resign effective Feb. 28, The Associated Press is reporting. According to The AP, the 85-year-old pontiff announced his decision in Latin during a meeting of Vatican cardinals on Monday morning, citing his "advanced age and diminishing strength." The pope, leader of more than a billion Roman Catholics worldwide, including those at Baldwin Borough's Saint Albert the Great and Saint Elizabeth of Hungary churches and Whitehall Borough's St. Gabriel of the Sorrowful Virgin Church and Sisters of St. Francis of the Providence of God campus, emphasized that the duties require "both strength of mind and body."

Sorry, but this is a parade that I'm more than pleased to rain on. The Ponzi economy we're all trapped in was designed to die, and needs to die. It will happen on someone's watch no matter what happens. I'd rather it be on me than on my children or theirs. It would be truly ugly now, or even uglier and deadlier later, but nothing even has a chance of getting truly better until the Keynesian madness finally comes to its well-deserved ends.SOURCE
Housing recovery shaky despite uptick in prices
Patrick Newport, U.S. analyst for IHS Global Insight, says a combination of low interest rates, declining inventory and investor activity are behind the price increases. He expects prices to continue rising, in line with inflation, over the next five years -- with some dips in between.
"These indexes are seasonal," Newport noted in a press release. "Unless demand picks up sharply, we are likely to see the not-seasonally adjusted indexes drop for a few months starting next month. Given low and declining inventories, the seasonally adjusted indexes should continue moving up."
According to analysts at financial services and research firm Keefe, Bruyette and Woods, falling off the fiscal cliff would impact global banks and the 10-year Treasury, halting both refinancing and new mortgage lending activity. Consumers could lose jobs, causing a decline in spending, and confidence in the economy would almost certainly go down the tubes -- all bad news for a recovery that's teetering on the edge.
I truly wish that Keynes was here to witness how his "emergency" methadone solution managed to turn into a full-scale global heroine trafficking operation.

A new picture tweeted by Lady Gaga has sparked rumors that the Mother Monster may have had plastic surgery on her lips. The image, posted earlier this week by the singer, shows her in bed pursing her seemingly enlarged lips towards the camera.
The photo sparked off debate among Twitter fans, some of whom think it would be against Gaga's message to have plastic surgery for purely aesthetic reasons.
Last year, in an interview with Harpers Bazaar, she blasted celebs who alter their body for looks:
"I think that promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification."
Gaga later stepped back from the comment, saying that maybe later in life she would consider getting some work done: "I haven't had any yet, I was born this way. But maybe after I pop out a few Gaga babies I'll be not born this way any more."

Lead your team of amateurs to become superstars and play the game of football where it is entertaining at its best – The streets. After a long wait of 4 years, FIFA Street comes back as a reboot to the highly popular FIFA Street franchise. The 4th edition in the series comes with an array of innovative changes. These changes will allow you to master newer and sleeker moves, assisting you in stunning you opponents each time you play the game.
Targeted towards anyone who loves to play the game of football, FIFA Street encourages gamers to experience the true passion of the game. The sports game is available for the PS3 gaming console and can be enjoyed by everyone in the family as it comes with an E rating from ESRB.
Synopsis and Features
FIFA Street is all about allowing you to play football freely. Even if the gameplay follows a set of rules, you can always try to bend them by innovating new moves and nailing that perfect strike to lead your team to glory. The game gives you a different type of flexibility that is unavailable in the mainstream FIFA series.
Published and developed by EA Games, FIFA Street brings a fresh approach to the game of football that allows you to not only enjoy the game, but also hone your gaming skills. The World Tour in the game is similar to a career mode that allows you to build a team from scratch. You can hire players; select what position they play in the field and which events they can participate in. Once you have created your dream squad, you can jump onto the field and try to win the trophies from around the world.
The games modes in FIFA Street include 5-on-5 or 6-on-6 matches, last man standing: where you can eliminate a member from the opposing team with each goal you score and Futsal where the playing stadium has no walls.
The new additions in the game include a variety of new skill moves such as Touzani around the World, Ginga Toe Chop, McGeady Spin and many more. The great thing about these moves is that all of them are legal and can be used in a professional game. The skill curve to learn the new ball control system is easy and features elements such as body feints, juggling, dribbling and more.
You can unlock new tricks by mastering old ones and earning skill points. Skill points even allow you to assign different attributes to your players like shooting and passing, helping them hone their game skills. You can even unlock branded apparel for your team by winning matches to professionally dress up your players.
The game even features a message system that is similar to a mobile phone. This is a cool feature as you can view congratulatory messages from an opposing team when you win a game. You can choose any event from around the world within seconds using the World Map.
The arenas in the game take a special mention in FIFA Street as you can play in many famous locations from across the world. These include stadiums from London, Paris, New York, Dubai, Barcelona, Buenos Aires and many more. You can play in gyms, parks, backstreets to even rooftops, making the gameplay that much more interesting.
Online Features
Up to 4 players can play simultaneously in a gaming console. This is very helpful as you can team up against friends and challenge them to see who plays the game in the best way possible. Taking your team online allows you to play against the players of the world. Winning each match will earn you points that you can track through an online leader board using the Street Network.
The recognition for your team can be enhanced by winning more matches to boost your EA SPORTS Football Club rankings. FIFA Street includes leagues such as the Premier League and teams that include Argentina, Brazil and England making the game one of the coolest buys of the season. You can download updates, demos and wallpaper for the game from the PSN Network.

I just received the game today, played a couple of matches. First impressions
Game engine is very slick and animations are quite good, although the celebrations after the goals could be a little better.
No commentary rather chit chat like in any street sport which is a nice touch to bring in authenticity.
Loved the idea of having and playing with the top 5 leagues in Europe.
Also the game looks realistic which was something I thought would not be good in such a game but I am glad to be wrong.
Well worth the wait, the controls could be a little more responsive but all in all a fantastic way to kill time and have a blast with your friends both online and offline
Oh and I got DLC with it as well, Hello Adidas All stars
FIFA Street is a combination of arcade action blended with the culture of freestyle street soccer.More precisely, FIFA Street is the Frankenstein of soccer games. Its makers grafted on the progression structure and tricks of NBA Street, strapped on a mish-mash of mo-cap animations, unlockables, and perhaps some of the worst music and voice work ever known to humankind, and then one late wintry night, when the rain poured down hard and lighting struck, the creators of this thing flipped the super electrode switch and watched the force of un-Godly nature madly course through its invention. .This game features a lot of tricks and move one can enjoy using PS2. This is a good entertainer and a thriller sports game. The skills and styles we use is just spectacular.It is really worth buying.
amazing delivery by flipkart it was released on friday and i got in on saturday so less than 24 hours delivery..!
as for the game it is a must buy for the fifa and football fans but it is kinda hard so it takes time to adjust to the street style .for those who havent played fifa might not like this game but if u are a footballer u will love this game ..

Spring 2013 Undergraduate Internship-ACLUF Immigrants' Rights Project, NY and SF
October 22, 2012
Immigrants' Rights Project, NY and SF
American Civil Liberties Union Foundation
(ACLU), founded in 1920, is a nationwide, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, with more than 500,000 members and is dedicated to the principles of liberty and equality embodied in the U.S. Constitution. The
Immigrants' Rights Project (IRP)
of the ACLU's National Offices in New York City and San Francisco invites applicants for the Spring 2013 Undergraduate Internship, which will begin in
January 2013
The Immigrants' Rights Project (IRP) is a national project of the American Civil Liberties Union with offices in New York and California. Using targeted impact litigation, advocacy and public outreach, the Project carries on the ACLU's commitment to protecting the rights and liberties of immigrants. In federal district and appellate courts, including the Supreme Court, the Project conducts the nation's largest impact litigation program dedicated to defending and expanding the rights of immigrants, enforcing the guarantees of the Constitution, and achieving equal justice under the law.
The Project has focused on challenging laws that deny immigrants access to the judicial system, impose indefinite and mandatory detention, and constitute discrimination on the basis of "alienage" by governmental and private entities. In addition, the Project has been challenging constitutional abuses that arise from immigration enforcement at the federal, state, and local levels, including litigation against worksite and home raids, local anti-immigrant employment and housing laws, and improper enforcement of federal immigration laws by local sheriffs. IRP's efforts in the enforcement arena seek to ensure the constitutional protections of the Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, combat racial profiling arising from actual or pretextual immigration enforcement that subjects immigrant communities to racism and hostility, and challenge government policies and practices that undermine or deny immigrants' ability to effectuate their existing legal rights.
The Internship requires a 12-16 week commitment. The internship is part-time, with weekly hours that are negotiable. Since this is an unpaid internship, students are highly encouraged to seek funding from outside sources. Arrangements can also be made with the student's school for a work/study stipend or course credit.
Interns will work under the direct supervision of the Project's paralegals and will have the opportunity to work with attorneys and other staff of the Immigrants' Rights Project on a range of significant issues and projects. The work will include:
Conducting factual research.
Developing web-based informational updates.
Providing assistance to the department.
Responding to inquiries from persons seeking legal assistance.
Assisting in the maintenance of case files and compiling of press files.
Tracking current legislation related to immigration.
Working on other projects as assigned.
Commitment to civil liberties and immigrants' rights.
Strong interest in social justice and legal issues.
Excellent writing and communication skills.
Strong computer skills, particularly web-based research and facility with Microsoft Office Suite.
Proficiency in Spanish a plus.
Demonstrated initiative to see projects through to completion.
Ability to perform administrative tasks as well as research and writing.
Applicants should send a cover letter, resume, the names and telephone numbers of three references, an official or unofficial transcript, and a writing sample (no more than ten pages in length) to
, reference "
IRP - NY Spring 2013 Undergraduate
Internship" or "IRP - CA Spring 2013 Undergraduate Internship"
in the subject line to indicate the office where the internship placement is desired.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (known as the FAFSA) is a form that can be prepared annually by current and prospective college students in the U.S. to determine their eligibility for student financial aid (including Pell grants, work-study programs, and loans). The U.S. Department of Education begins accepting the applications beginning January 1st of each year for the upcoming academic year. For more information regarding FAFSA, please see their site: www.fafsa.ed.gov.

The SAR contains information the student provided on the FAFSA as well as the federally calculated Expected Family Contribution (EFC) result. The financial aid office, of the students institution, will use the information contained in the SAR in order to determine the student's eligibility for Federal Pell Grant and any other federal student aid programs. HSF uses the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) calculated on the SAR to determine the students financial need.
