Adrian Peterson placed on restricted listScott Pianowski at Roto Arcade20 hrs ago
Adrian Peterson is officially back in limbo.
While most of the country was asleep, the news came out early Wednesday: Peterson has been placed on the exempt list, which means he'll stay away from the Vikings (for both team activities and games) while Peterson's child abuse charges are addressed.
Here's the crux of the story, from the Associated Press:
The Vikings made the announcement early Wednesday morning, about a day and a half after initially deciding that Peterson could play with the team while the legal process played out. Peterson is charged with a felony for using a wooden switch to spank his 4-year-old son.
The Vikings came under heavy criticism for their initial stance. Several sponsors responded by either suspending their deals with the Vikings or severing ties with Peterson.
Closing Time: The Mile High SaluteScott Pianowski at Roto Arcade1 day ago
It's our last week in Coors Field. We hope you're having some fun with it. LA cornerman Juan Uribe is near the end of his career at age 35, but he's nonetheless a fun bat to stream when the thin air comes calling. Uribe rapped out three hits in Monday's blowout victory, and he's on a 20-for-49 binge since returning from the DL two weeks ago. He's still unowned in 82 percent of Yahoo leagues, and fairly affordable for the daily crowd. (If Uribe gets a day off, consider Justin Turner on a one-day rental.) Arizona gets a four-game Coors holiday later in the week, which pushes us to outfielder A.J. Pollock. He's rolling along at a .324/.395/.529 clip (one homer, four bags) since coming back to the Snakes at the beginning of the month, locked in as Arizona's No. 3 hitter. The former No. 1 draft pick is a name to remember for next year's sleeper board, and he's someone I want to play anywhere I can down the stretch (no matter the elevation). Pollock is free in 78 percent of The Y. Colorado has some injury-returnees to consider, too. Michael Cuddyer is back in the saddle. Wilin Rosario is catching again (three hits, homer on Monday). Just make sure they're not floating around your wire; Cuddyer is unowned in about a third of Yahoo, while Rosario is at the 50-50 mark. If you need to dig a little deeper, DJ LeMahieu might be worth a depth call. He qualifies at two infield spots (second, third) and provides a plus average and the occasional bag. He's hitting .326 at home (.388 OBP), with 37 runs in 72 games. You can take the spin in 88 percent of Yahoo leagues.
Monday Rewind: Sammy Watkins, plug and playScott Pianowski at Roto Arcade2 days ago
I'm not from the area, but I'm something of a Buffalo sympathizer. I picked the Bills to win a couple of Super Bowls back in the day, and I still think the Jim Kelly Era is misunderstood historically. I like the people there, respect the values. I like the wings. I know all the words to Buffalo Stance.
And let's also establish that I didn't rank Sammy Watkins very optimistically this summer. A rookie wideout tied to a spotty quarterback and a head coach no one seems sure on, that sounded like a recipe for trouble. He's on zero of my teams, and I was never close to picking him.
Now we're two weeks into the season, and I'd like a mulligan on Watkins. The NFL is like that.
Watkins was playing through obvious pain during Sunday's victory over Miami - he's dealing with a rib injury - but that didn't stop him from dominating the contest. Watkins collected eight catches for 117 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets, and two of the missed connections could have easily been touchdowns. There hasn't been much of a learning curve for the rookie.
Sunday Night Fantasy ChatScott Pianowski at Roto Arcade3 days ago
Football's in full swing, baseball's winding down, other sports just around the corner. A perfect time to renew our fake friendship.
We welcome your questions, comments, poll votes, and of course your random silliness.
If you don't get your question through the filter, please throw the challenge flag. Officials are standing by.
Throwing Darts: Will KC offense wake up in Denver?Scott Pianowski at Roto Arcade3 days ago
I was going to have the Patriots and Giants in this space, but given the line movement there (not captured in Yahoo Pickem), I'll instead put in different picks. Picking New England or New York would feel like cheating now.
Time for five selections, using the Yahoo Pickem lines. And again, I will not consider the Pats or Giants. Share your five best in the comments.
The Chiefs (+12.5) and Chargers (+6) are two of today's throws, in part because I wonder if Denver and Seattle will be looking ahead to their Week 3 showdown. I like San Diego as a playoff team anyway, and surely the Chiefs will do a better job of deploying their playmakers this week (that goes for Charles, and Kelce too).
The Rams (+5.5) get a play on a simple NFL concept: you're rarely as bad as you might have looked in a previous week. And it's not like the Bucs covered themselves in glory in their opener.
Injury Wrap: Down to the wire for Brandon Marshall, Alshon JefferyScott Pianowski at Roto Arcade5 days ago
It's been a long, complicated week. Here's the latest on the injury and status front, beginning with the wide receivers.
(If you're looking for news on Adrian Peterson's indictment, we're going to let Shutdown Corner handle the latest. Matt Asiata is expected to start for the Vikings, with Jerick McKinnon the next option. Updated Yahoo fantasy ranks can be found here.)
Sunday Update: Carson Palmer is out, Drew Stanton starts. I moved my Arizona wideouts down a little bit.
Closing Time: Big catch, Yusmeiro PetitScott Pianowski at Roto Arcade7 days ago
Yusmeiro Petit spent most of the mid-summer dominating from the San Francisco pen. A shift to the rotation has worked out nicely, too - and that means he's someone we can look to down the stretch.
Petit's Tuesday start was an absolute gem, a four-hit daisy against Arizona (1 R, 0 BB, 9 K, just 84 pitches). Here's some scouting video to nibble on. It's his second victory in three starts, matching up with the win over the Rockies two weeks back (6 IP, 1 R, 9 K).
[ Join FanDuel's 1-week fantasy league: $10 to enter; top 4,985 teams get paid Monday ]
Let's give a tip of the cap to Giants manager Bruce Bochy, who didn't overreact to Petit's misstep at Coors Field last week (4 IP, 7 H, 6 R). Bochy recognizes that Petit needs his off-speed pitches to be effective, and they clearly lacked bite in the Colorado elements. Back at sea level, Petit was in charge again.
Closing Time: Drew Storen takes overScott Pianowski at Roto Arcade8 days ago
Rafael Soriano did everything he could to lose the Washington closing job. And now Drew Storen is doing everything he can to run away with it.
Storen was just about perfect en route to a couple of saves Sunday and Monday, working two clean innings and striking out five. Dominant, resonating outings can force the hand of a manager. And Storen's overall work adds to the case: he's carrying a 1.31 ERA and 0.98 WHIP over 48 innings, with a tasty K/BB clip (44 strikeouts, 11 walks). That's a profile that can succeed in any role.
[ Join FanDuel's 1-week fantasy league: $10 to enter; top 4,985 teams get paid Monday ]
The Nationals had other names to consider when Soriano expired - Tyler Clippard, notably - so Storen wasn't a slam dunk 48-72 hours ago. He sure looks like one now, however. He's still unowned in 77 percent of Yahoo leagues; let's get to work on fixing that.
-- Koji Uehara has become the biggest type of fantasy problem: a player that's too good to drop and not trustable enough to play. But maybe it's time to drop him anyway, move on with our roto lives.
Monday Rewind: Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis carnivalScott Pianowski at Roto Arcade9 days ago
My earliest 2014 ranks had Andrew Luck as the No. 4 fantasy quarterback, and he stayed in that position all summer. I never wavered on the rank, never rethought it, never adjusted it.
So it's beyond frustrating that I don't have him on a single Fake Football roster.
[ Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football: Sign up and join a league today! ]
The script from Luck's 2014 debut is familiar to NFL and fantasy fans. Indianapolis dug itself an early hole, in part because of a leaky defense and in part because of a broken running game. You could even fault OC Pep Hamilton if you want (and you probably should).
Throwing Darts: Can Dallas hang around in the opener?Scott Pianowski at Roto Arcade10 days ago
Picking without a point spread is easy. Picking against a point spread is hard.
Let's accept the challenge, for wherever it may go.
We'll make five picks against the number every week, using the line from Yahoo Pro Football Pick'Em. If a line is taken off the board, it's not in play for our purposes. Pick your own five every week, play along, keep score.
-- Cowboys +5 vs. Niners: We know Dallas's defense is a major problem this year, but I expect Romo and Bryant and Co. to score against most teams. And the San Francisco defense could be in for a notable fall after a handful of personnel losses and off-field problems; I actually have the Niners missing the playoffs. Look for a close game, with an upset possible.
-- Jaguars +10.5 at Eagles: When you can get double digits in the NFL, you usually want to take them. And I like how Gus Bradley rallied and improved his team in the second half of 2013; I don't think the Jags are a punching bag.
-- Steelers -6.5 vs. Browns: Look for defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau to have a field day against an overmatched Browns offense. Cleveland hasn't won in Pittsburgh since 2003.

Earlier this week, Maple Grove police released surveillance video of a man vandalizing a church in hopes of finding a suspect. Thanks to tips, police found him -- and so did FOX 9's Leah Beno.
"It's me," said Lonny Roseland, who lives less than half a mile from the Pilgrims United Church of Christ. "The main reason: I am definitely against gay marriage, of course. Although, I know I can't change it."
Making no excuses. Roseland admitted he's the man seen in the surveillance video, telling FOX 9 News he began to target the church as the legalization of same-sex marriage became closer to reality.
"Show me in the Bible where gay persons can get married in the eyes of Yahweh," Roseland said. "If they were Atheists, I would not have had a problem with them -- but they call themselves the United Church of Christ. They consider themselves a religious organization."
Pilgrims United Church of Christ is one of more than 5,100 UCC churches nationwide. It's a Christian denomination known for liberal views on social issues.
"It's our other home," said Steve Hepokoski, a church member for 23 years. "When someone attacks your home, it's a scary thing. Just as much as a burglary, you don't feel safe, and that's what we were going through. Some people were in tears because they were scared."
Roseland confessed to throwing eggs and writing anti-gay messages on the church four times over the past couple of months. Each time, marriage equality was approaching a new milestone.
"I always like going early Sunday morning. No one is out then." Roseland continued. "I don't have plans to egg their church again."
Roseland seemed surprised to hear people at the church were scared of him because they didn't know who he was or what he was capable of.
'I wanted to send a message. I wasn't there to do main damage. I was there to send a message. That was my goal: To send a message and to get someone -- anyone -- out of that church. I believe it's a cult."
"It's not a cult," insisted Hepokoski. "It's church. It's a Christian church. We're in little, quiet Maple Grove. The doors are open."
Now that Roseland has been identified and has pledged to stop, the congregants are hoping the two can coexist civilly.
"It's a sense of relief," said Hepokoski. "It's nice to know what is going on and that he's committed to not doing it anymore. I'm going to take him on his word on that."
Roseland said if he was going to be given a title, he should be dubbed the "Right-wing Early-bird Vandal," but police have another title -- suspect with charges pending.
VANDAL CAUGHT ON VIDEO: http://bit.ly/13wW1KD
Investigators turned their paperwork over to the city attorney's office on Wednesday. Officers are pursuing Gross Misdemeanor damage to property charges because investigators deemed the vandalism a "bias-motivated crime."

Neglected Infectious Diseases Integrated Approach
The Pan American Health Organization certified Uruguay as the only country in Latin America free of Triatoma infestans as a public health problem. The insect that transmits Chagas disease, known as the kissing bug, lives in mud huts, especially in rural areas and affects 40,000 people in the country. The President Mujica advocated for the public to be alert to continue in this status and relapse.

The release of the 7th version of the WRT54G worried many. Linksys has switched to a Atheros chipset, completely eliminating any chance of third-party firmware. It appeared the days of buying a WRT54G and hacking it may have ended. However, recently released FCC documents show that Linksys has reverted back to the Broadcom chipset. The 8th version of the WRT54G should appear on store shelves soon. The Broadcom chipset allows you to put, although limited, some versions of third-party firmware on your router. The serial number for the v8 is unknown but it's likely to be CDFF following Linksys binary numbering scheme.

A few days ago we were featured in a Wi-fiplanet.com article which has since been on Engadget and Slashdot, bringing our traffic up quite a bit. So I thought I'd address the version five a little more. It seems everyone is waiting for the still mysterious WRT54GL. The WRT54GL is the last remaining Linux WRT54G router. WRT54GLs are a fairly hot item to put up. A quick search showed that several stores were sold out, had shipments coming in December, or didn't have any information other then a blank product page but some stores have them. The WRT54GL appears to be basically a WRT54Gv4 re-branded. The WRT54GL firmware will work on any WRT54G v1-4. It's just a slightly updated version of 4.20.8. I've included a link to the WRT54GL source below.

As we mentioned in our last news post, Linksys recently released their fifth version of the WRT54G. This model doesn't not run on Linksys. It runs on VxWorks which means by default flashing current firmware will not work. It's unclear if Linux-based firmware will ever work on the v5. Regardless, for the current time no 3rd party firmware will work on the version five. The serial number for version fives are CDFB. If you have bought one, we recommend returning it.

By default, WRT54GS v5.x only have 8MB of RAM enabled. We're talking about GS, not G. A simple command can double your RAM and increase DD-WRT performance. Simply input the telnet commands below.
nvram set sdram_init=0x0A
nvram set nvram_ncdl=0
nvram commit
For more information, read the guide here.

Neil McAllister of ComputerWorld wrote what we are already thinking. Linksys' move from Linux to VxWorks was a very bad choice. Hopefully, Linksys will put up on this press and realize their mistake.
"Linksys is missing out on a larger opportunity here. The features that alternative firmwares add to the WRT54G series aren't mere hobbyist curiosities they're real-world enhancements that give the hardware new features, for gaming, security, network management or VoIP. Some of these are features that are otherwise only available with more expensive products from Linksys' competitors.
If anything, these third-party enhancements have already saved the Linksys product from commoditisation. Dozens of other vendors market wireless routers with comparable basic functionality to Linksys' offering. The difference is that the Linksys product can be made to do more."

Write a screenplay for an 8-minute short film.
I've been involved in the world of film since 2007 - acting, directing, producing, writing and teaching. In 2005 I started Rabbit Bandini Productions with my former acting school classmate, Vince Jolivette. Together we've produced upwards of 40 films, running the gamut from dramas to comedies; feature-length films to shorts.
Education has played an increasingly important part in my life, having had the opportunity to teach at USC, UCLA, CalArts and NYU. With this Skillshare class, Vince and I will make the lessons we've learned in the industry over the last decade accessible to students of any age, anywhere in the world.
This class is definitely geared towards beginners but designed for students of any skill level to find value. Never written for film before? Not a problem, we'll walk you through our process for getting started.
Project. Write a screenplay for an 8-minute short film adapted from one of the source texts listed below. As is the case with screenwriting generally, the most valuable part of this process will be giving and getting feedback on your work from your peers.
Project Reward. Vince and I will review the top 10 most-liked projects and announce our favorite 3 writers, one of whom will receive 1-on-1 feedback on their work from us. Projects need to be submitted by July 24th, 2014 to qualify.
Source Texts. I've chosen these texts specifically because they're all written as vivid portraits or character studies which make for great short film fodder.
What You'll Learn.
This class will cover a variety of topics spanning the creative to the technical. Some of what we'll touch on includes:
Level: Beginner
School: Film
Related Subjects: Film & Video, Screenwriting, Filmmaking
James Franco is an actor, director, screenwriter, producer, teacher and author. He began his career on Freaks and Geeks and received a Golden Globe Award for his performance in the bio...

Residents and workers of Twin Bridges are cleaning up the town after a severe storm hit Thursday afternoon.
"The windows rattled really, really hard," said Erin Wayland. "I was concerned about the windows shattering and breaking."
"All heck broke loose," said Twin Bridges resident, Dan Leavens. "The trees started to come down, things were flying everywhere in the yard. There wasn't anything we could do except hold on and watch, and stay in a safe spot."
Late Thursday afternoon Twin Bridges experienced a severe wind storm accompanied by heavy rain and hail.
Madison County officials say the storm was not a tornado, but winds did reach up to more than 90 mph
"There's no indication that it was a tornado," Chris Mumme, Madison County Director of Emergency Services. "Although the winds were extremely high. Out towards the airport, we got sustained winds up to 91 miles an hour."
The majority of the damage from the storm was knocked down trees, some even landing on buildings.
Residents also lost power, something northwestern energy is trying to restore.
"It was overwhelming to see all of the trees come down," Wayland said. "One in our backyard, we have a large tree where quite a few of the limbs came off, it's on the ground. I was concerned for all the neighbors."
While Twin Bridges continues to clean the town of debris, the residents say they will bounce back to their normal lifestyle.
"It's neat to watch the community come together," Leavens said. "We'll clearly get through this. It's a hiccup; it's a bump in the road. It's nothing we can't handle. We're from Montana.
Madison County officials say power might be turned back on by Friday night.
There are no reported injuries from Thursday's storm.
The Madison County Emergency Management Team is taking over the cleanup.

A Look Into Top Lou Simpson's Investments (Part I)
Anh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Warren Buffett has appraised one investment manager in a section called: "Portrait of a Disciplined Investor" in his 2004 letter to shareholders. It is 74-year-old Lou Simpson, who had spent more than 30 years managing investments for GEICO Insurance. He has delivered a 20% annual return since 1980, far higher than a 14% return of the S&P in the same period. After leaving GEICO, he started his own investment advisory firm, SQ Advisory LLC. Simpson has run a quite concentrated portfolio. As of September, he held around 15 stocks worth $1.17 billion. Let's see what he is investing right now.
Berkshire Hathaway is No Doubt the Best Value Investment
The first top positions were his former employer, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A) (NYSE: BRK-B). He owned more than 1.41 million Class B shares of Berkshire Hathaway, with a total value of more than $127 million, accounting for 10.9% of his total portfolio. Investors around the world have no doubt about the company's sustainable growth record. Both the book value and the float have experienced the annual compounded growth of more than 20% for more than half a century. The company has bought back 9,200 Class A shares for $131,000 per share from one of its long-time shareholders and raised the cap to repurchase the shares up to 120% of the book value. Its book value in September last year was recorded at more than $184.6 billion. Berkshire Hathaway is reported to have $72 billion in float, which was generated by its insurance business. I have estimated the true value of Berkshire Hathaway at the current moment to be around $284 - $303 billion.
Superb and Consistent Operation
With more than 1.68 million shares, Fiserv (NASDAQ: FISV) accounted for around 10.7% of Lou Simpson's total portfolio as of September. Fiserv is considered to be the global financial service technology provider with around 16,000 clients worldwide including financial companies, retailers, and government agencies. Only 7% of total revenue was generated from its international market operations in fiscal 2011. The majority of its revenue was from the Processing and Services, $3.54 billion, accounting for 81.7% of the total sales. In the past 3 years Fiserv has generated healthy and consistent operating margins in the range of 23% - 24.4%. The company had two business segments including Payments and Financials, with similar revenue contributions from each segment. In the last 10 years, Fiserv has consistently generated positive operating and free cash flow. For the trailing twelve months, its operating and free cash flow was $820 million and $626 million, respectively. During the same period, the return on equity has consistently stayed above 15.5%. The TTM ROE was more than 17.9%. At the current trading price of $80.70 per share, the market is valuing Fiserv at nearly 10.2x EV/EBITDA. The valuation is a bit richer than its peers including Fidelity National Information Services (NYSE: FIS) and Accenture (NYSE: ACN). Fidelity is valued the cheapest, at 8.45x EV/EBITDA, and Accenture is valued at 9.12x EV multiples. Furthermore, Fiserv had the best operating margin, of 24%, whereas Accenture had only 14% operating margin and the operating margin of Fidelity's was 19%.
Foolish Bottom Line
With the sustainable operating performance, both Berkshire Hathaway and Fiserv could be considered to be in the long-term portfolio of value investors. In the next article, I will discuss two next largest holdings in Lou Simpson's concentrated portfolio. Fool On!

On Saturday, September 13, the San Francisco Italian Athletic Club Foundation welcomes the Bay Area to North Beach for the 2014 Festa Coloniale Italiana.
The Festa, which runs from 11:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m., celebrates the rich Italian and Italian-American heritage that has existed in San Francisco for generations and in addition, this year, it will also celebrate the Year of Italian Language in America.
Along Stockton St., between Union and Filbert, you'll find mouth-watering food, a variety of beverages, handcrafted Italian merchandise, and best of all, bella musica Italiana. Inside the Club's facilities, the ballroom will be transformed into an Italian piazza (complete with a fountain!). The ballroom will contain additional vendors and also host this year's wine tasting - featuring some of the best Italian wines available.
The Foundation is very pleased to announce that this year's musical headliner is Italian tenor Moreno Fruzzetti. Moreno, who was born in Pisa and now lives in New Jersey, is a great showman and exceptional vocalist who pays homage to the storied Italian songs of the past to the present. In addition, scheduled entertainment includes the multi-Grammy nominated Italian-American band Bella Ciao (which includes SFIAC Club members Tom Torriglia); Il Sole, whose performances of Italian music fused with jazz and world rhythms have brought them international acclaim and features Steve Albini; The Ricco Dancers, featuring Toni Bava, who will be delighting the audience with authentic tarantellas, mazurkas, Italian waltzes and more and a jaw-dropping exhibition of pizza tossing by pizzaoli from Club member Tony Gemignani's Tony's Pizza of North Beach.

This soldier's account of pissing off the enemy with Slayer rocks.
So, we were posted in the middle of nowhere near an encampment of a certain jihadi group. We were at standby pending permission to engage the terrorists. The only time we would fire was when they fire mortars at us. The assholes would not only get on the loudspeaker to call to prayers but at random times, especially at night, they would put their most horrid music full volume. After a week of that sound from hell we were all fuming. Well, one of the engineers corp NCOs had a huge speaker on storage and we had this idea…

Out came the speaker. We placed it on top of one of our humvees and plugged it to my iPod. Whenever they would play their horrible music we would in turn play the loudest heavy metal I had. We played Slayer, Metallica, AC/DC, Hatebreed, Biohazard and others. It was LOUD! A couple of days later another loudspeaker arrived to the post and now we had stereo music. Those a-holes didn't know what hit them. We began playing music randomly. Worse, we placed our Master SGT on a microphone and he sang, ALL THE TIME. Only he didn't know how to sing. It was epic.

A man was arrested in Cedar Rapids during the Freedom Festival fireworks show for swearing and drawing a knife.
Police say Aaron Secor yelled swear words at America and raised his middle finger just after 10 p.m. as the National Anthem played.
After members of the audience became upset with him, police say Secor pulled out a knife.
When officers arrived, Secor had put the knife back in his pocket.
He was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and taken to the Linn County Jail.

What form of renewable energy has or will have the lowest impact on biodiversity?
Climate change, air pollution, rising sea levels and species extinction can all be attributed to the increasing usage of non-renewable energy in the world today. Non-renewable energy reserves are diminishing and finite with an ever-increasing demand from countries around the world. Coal, natural gas and oil all have detrimental effects on the environment. These effects are both local and global, harming species throughout the world. As we consider different renewable forms of energy, can we rank their potential impacts on biodiversity?

Erik ParkerApr 23 2013: When I first started thinking about this question, solar power immediately provided one of the most attractive possibilities as a biologically low impact alternative energy source. In my thinking, the best case scenario for solar would be found not in large plants which require dedicated plots of land, but rather in an army of individual panels put in place within and throughout cities. This best case solar scenario would be fantastic as it would conceivably cause no further ecological impact in terms of land and water use than the cities themselves do already. But, as Chelsea pointed out the solar panels required for this project are currently expensive and inefficient so this idea is not really a doable one at this point in time.
That said, I did some more research and discovered an even more promising dream technology: flying windmills. Basically what this would entail is the construction of huge kites with propeller blades which are tethered to the ground, flown up a few miles into the air at which point their propellers switch from being active to passive at which point their free spinning blades would generate electricity and transfer it down their tether and into the electrical grid. Sitting a few miles up where the air currents are quite strong, the blades would be able to generate up to 250 times the power of an identical turbine near the ground according to calculations done by Cristina Archer and Mark Jacobson of Stanford University (1). Of course this project is far from perfect and really just a dream at this point, but advancements are being made. At least one company, Makani Power, is running with the idea, and has so far created a few small scale gliders which do in fact generate power using this approach (2). So maybe not so crazy after all?
1. http://discovermagazine.com/2008/oct/24-high-flying-windmills-blow-away-their-ground-based-cousins#.UXYC-7XFWSo
Apr 23 2013: I can't think of it as being that big of a problem since the windmills would be at such high elevations. Also since birds nest on the ground the only way I can see them affecting the birds is through disruption of migration patterns. I see it as relatively analogous to airplanes, which birds have little trouble avoiding by and large. Though these windmills could conceivably be more densely concentrated in an area and larger in size overall, I'm not sure that they would trouble birds much.
The largest effect I can see them having is through disruption of insects which have been shown to fly above even airliner traffic (1).
1. http://www.npr.org/blogs/krulwich/2011/06/01/128389587/look-up-the-billion-bug-highway-you-cant-see
Noel LaporteApr 23 2013: I agree with Erik. I would imagine a fast moving and extremely strong jet turbine would be much more harmful to bird populations and diversity than windmills. Although there might be some negative impact on windmills to avian diversity I imagine slow big moving blades must less impacting. I'm curious to how different the impacts of dams and wind mills are to the injury or death of animals getting in contact with them.
Apr 23 2013: I don't know much about bird flight and how aircraft and other airborne technology impacts birds. Upon a quick search I found these. Thoughts?
Apr 23 2013: A paper by Barclay et al (Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2007) estimates about 6,000 annual deaths for birds and about the same for bats due to wind turbines in North America. Although these fatalities are due to turbines, not these flying windmills, I imagine they could have a similar impact. Birds and bats cand and do fly miles above the ground, so I don't think the high elevation of these flying windmills would help much in reducing deaths. Birds cannot see the rotating blades of wind turbines since they are spinning so quickly, and therefore birds can not simple migrate around these windmills (I think they more comparable in structure to wind turbines than huge obvious ariplanes.) Another problem I see with these flying windmills is disruption with aircrafts themselves.
I think this idea is very unique (cool find!), but tests would have to be done to minimize the impact on flying organisms.
Apr 23 2013: Anna and Jessica,
You both make good points about the dangers to birds from this technology. Some in depth studies would definitely have to be done to address that issue and try and find sites of the least impact. One suggestion mentioned in one of the articles I posted suggested basing the windmills at sea where I'm sure some spots could be found with lower biological impact than over land.
Apr 24 2013: I agree with your idea that wind energy is very clean and cost-effective. In order to minimize the bird deaths caused by wind development, some researchers find that a "bird risk assessment map" is a "must have" tool for wind development. This kind of map indicates both concentrated migratory pathways and habitat locations for each major bird species. For each location, there are numerous background information, such as habitat land use, land ownerships and conservation issues. Important sites and pathways are colored according to their importance to birds, and scientists identify over 2000 key sites that birds may be vulnerable from wind development. This map can provide some bird-smart energy sources and avoid wind development in high-impact and high-priority bird areas. As American Bird Conservatory (ABC) states, "this map offers a way to prevent millions of bird deaths from wind power, while at the same time providing ample opportunity for the prudent development of this potentially bird-smart energy source". I think this method can be a good starting point for any consideration for newly wind energy construct. You can check out the "Wind Development Bird Risk Map" here,

Shared with me by one of my nephews. I found it entertaining, so I thought I'd share it with you:
Hi Jerry,
How about $700/hr minimum wage? I'm all for it! Let me explain why...
... at $700/hr, everyone would lose their job tomorrow (at least I'm pretty sure about that... maybe a few people would still have jobs?), so everyone would become independent contractors. Want money? Go sell your service or product to someone!
Laws are annoying? Well not for long! Now the everday Joe has to work under those laws that business owners do every day as individuals. Politicians would have big time trouble if they made red tape.
Public employees? Not unless they are absolutely needed! How can even a simple teacher be paid for as an employee??!! Every service would be contracted out by government if at all possible, and contracts would be air tight (as that is where the battle would then go for money... who can get the better contract to make the most money).
So I say... lets do a $700/hr minimum wage today! We can fix Wisconsin in a matter of weeks!
And the best part? ... Liberals won't even see it coming, because they think they are worth that, even if they are just picking their nose all day long. LOL

Fobert announced during a community update meeting at Wicklund School on Tuesday that eighth-graders and graduates of Mountain House elementary schools are being asked to go online and pick their classes if they plan to enroll at Mountain House High School in August.
The objective of the online process was to make it easy for students and their parents, he told a gathering of more than 65 residents.
"They can complete the whole thing online — that was the whole purpose," he said.
By the end of January or early February, course signups should be completed for the incoming 425 to 450 freshmen and sophomores.
At the end of February, he said, school officials will begin the process of student transfers from other area high schools. He said Mountain House High would offer as many courses as Tracy Unified School District high schools, and Mountain House residents attending those schools would be sent a postcard reminder about the course selection process.
"We're starting with an open slate," Fobert said. "We can do what we want to."
Among the attendees at Tuesday's meeting were Matt Johnson and his 14-year-old daughter, Ireland. He said he liked that the community meetings have kept parents updated on a regular basis.
"It's an opportunity of a lifetime," said Matt Johnson. "I think it's a great opportunity, and like Mr. Fobert said, there's nothing like this being done."
Ireland, an eighth-grader at Questa School, said she was excited and planned to take courses that would help her attend an Ivy League university.
Tami Holtz, whose daughter Mariana will be a freshman at Mountain House High, said she felt the school project had a community feel to it. She said project officials had seemed to encourage residents to share their views.
"My daughter is excited," she said. "She already began looking at the courses online."
For those residents who want help with online registration, a day of workshops has been scheduled Jan. 25 at Bethany School, 570 S. Escuela Drive, Fobert said.
Freshmen and their parents will be able to attend sessions at 9 to 10 a.m., and 2 to 3 p.m., while sophomores will have the 10 a.m. to noon and 4 to 5 p.m. sessions.
Fobert said the workshop will cover such topics as registration, college readiness and graduation requirements.
"We'll talk about the difference between our school and other schools," he said.
The latest information about the new high school can be found on the Lammersville Unified School District's online registration site or the Mountain House High School Facebook page.
The next community meeting will be from 7 to 8 p.m. Feb. 11, but the location has yet to be determined. Details will be posted on the school's Facebook calendar, Fobert said.

Should a Parent Censor Their Baby's Music and Books?
Modern Family: Do You Censor What Your Baby Hears?
by POPSUGAR Moms 4 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Cameron reads tabloids to Lily in a soft tone on Modern Family. Babies rock out to Katy Perry's "California Gurls" and songs with profane lyrics. If a tot is too young to talk, does the content of the texts read to them or the music played in their presence matter? What's your opinion?

With all the choices available to us (hundreds of channels on TV, dozens of styles and channels of music on the radio, libraries full of books) there is no reason NOT to filter what gets into your child's mind. I'm not saying that everything in your life has to immediately become baby-centric once your child is born, but as a parent, it's your responsibility to show your children what you value. Just like I wouldn't feed my baby soda or candy, I don't swear in front of her, listen to music with foul or degrading lyrics, or watch scary or suggestive television with her around. Children are sponges, and instead of "censoring" what she hears / sees / learns, I present her with the best of things to help her learn and prosper.
amandachalynn 3 years
For infants I don't think it matters. For kids who are talking and learning social cues, absolutely. I think that age depends on the kid. I stopped listening to suggestive music and watching Family Guy in front of him when he was around 2.
starbucks2 3 years
Absolutely. I don't obsess over it, but some things I just don't want her to be exposed to. I wouldn't want her to get her hands on tabloids until I can't avoid it anymore. There is so much that could negatively influence in the body issue departement...And I don't think LL's coke binges are a little child's business. Just the other day I had to change the station because 'Love the way you lie' came on and I think that song has a horrible message.
3 years
I don't think it really matters. Ask me again when my baby is born, but I know my dad used to read to me from car and sport magazines and I'm neither interested nor know anything about cars or sports. I don't think that the material or subject matter has any affect, just that they are getting attention.

The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.
A man can do anything he wants to do in this world, at least if he wants to do it badly enough.
There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.

AMERICUS — Lee County girls' basketball coach Fran McPherson said her team has had a grueling schedule to start the season.
On Tuesday in the Americus-Sumter Holiday Classic, the Lady Trojans notched a win against one of those tough opponents. DaQuenna Moore scored 22 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead Lee County to a 58-54 victory against Mundy's Mill out of Atlanta. It was only the second loss of the season for Mundy's Mill, while Lee County improved to 5-5.
The Lady Trojans led by four points at halftime, but Mundy's Mill came back in the second half to take a five-point lead. However, Lee County hit its shots down the stretch to bounce back out in front.
Also scoring in double figures for the Lady Trojans was Maggie O'Conner, who had 16 points.
Lee County is in action again Jan. 7 against Westover in the Albany Civic Center.
LEE COUNTY BOYS 66, WEBSTER COUNTY 61: After opening the season with eight straight losses, the Trojans have now won two in a row. Tuesday's win against Webster County gave Lee County a 2-0 record in the Americus-Sumter Holiday Classic.
And like in Monday's victory against Americus-Sumter when Tavian Reed scored a team-high 20 points, Reed led the Trojans in scoring again Tuesday night.
The Trojans (2-8) play again Jan. 7 against Westover in the Albany Civic Center.
TIFT COUNTY BOYS 39, BAINBRIDGE 37: After a Bainbridge foul in the closing seconds of Tuesday night's game, Tift County knocked down a pair of free throws to walk away with the two-point victory.
Bainbridge's Dontavius Marshall hit five 3-pointers and scored a team-high 15 points in a game that came down the final possession.
Herald No. 4 Bainbridge was whistled for a foul on a loose ball, which sent Tift County to the free throw line with just seconds left. The Blue Devils hit the first free throw and grabbed an offensive rebound on the second free throw to ice the game.
Bainbridge (6-3) plays again Dec. 29 and 30 in Tallahassee, Fla., in the Capitol City Classic.

In light of these recent news reports, The Committee for Justice for Shawna Forde is compelled to ask, will the fourth man, the real murderer, please turn himself in?
