Siemens will start construction on a wind turbine parts and distribution center in Oklahoma later this month.
Siemens and Deutsche Bahn has signed a nearly $10 billion contract agreement for the construction of 300 new high speed trains in Germany.
Germany has just opened its first offshore wind farm and has plans to build several more in the coming years as it continues to be a clean energy leader.
Researchers at Siemens have developed a new self-adapting motion energy device that converts vibrations, big or small, into electricity.
Siemens agrees to sell 258 2.3-megawatt wind turbines to MidAmerican Energy Company for use in three Iowa projects with a combined capacity of 593 megawatts.
The German company Siemens says it has a big stake in the U.S. wind industry, pointing to a newly opened Kansas plant that manufactures component housings.
Amtrak has awarded a $466 million contract to Siemens to help the venerable railroad company modernize its fleet via new electric locomotives.
A new dishwasher from Siemens boasts 20% better energy efficiency than it's closest high-efficiency competitor utilizing a special "zeolitic" drying process that makes use of mineral water.
The green tech-enabled Siemens Christmas Star, spinning away above the lights of Munich, is a huge wind turbine decked out in eco-friendly LEDs which can be seen miles away.
Utilizing industrial-strength compressors and a new aerodynamic system designed to improve airflow, the Siemens Z6.0 vacuums use 50% less electrcity than your average model.

We found the apartment to be just perfect for our short stay in Venice. We had absolutely no problems with check-in as Marco met us at the Vaparetto and took us to the apartment. He is absolutely wonderful and very helpful with restaurant suggestions etc. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the unit also had a washing machine which was not listed on the site. We would definitely rent this apartment again and have already recommended it to friends.

Mayor pushes fee hike for cemetery
By SUE WATSON
One of the hottest issues in the current administration in Holly Springs remains the upkeep, restoration and access to Hill Crest Cemetery.
The city's buildings and grounds director, Larry Miller, proposed increases in plot fees and burial fees last week, saying the fees have not kept pace with those in neighboring areas like Oxford, Byhalia, Cottrell Memorial Garden (Holly Springs), Batesville and Pontotoc.
Mayor Andre' DeBerry said reasonable fees should be charged for feasible services.
The proposed new fee structure as compared to the old structure is as follows:
• 40 square foot single grave is $250. The new fee would be $400.
• two graves for $500 would increase to $800.
• four graves or 160 square feet for $750 would be $1,400.
• eight grave block for $1,500 would go to $2,800.
• opening and closing a grave on weekdays would go from $200 to $300. Weekend rates would go from $250 to $350. Holidays would go from $350 to $450.
Alderman Garrie Colhoun asked DeBerry for time to study the new fee structure before the matter is brought before the board for a vote.
DeBerry discussed maintenance costs at Hill Crest and said people have been buying the lots up in bulk because of the cheap price. He said it takes building and grounds a week to cut the graveyard because tombstones are raised rather than flat and at ground level. Weedeating around stones is time-consuming and costly, he said.
"I have no problem raising prices because the cost of gasoline has gone up since 1994 (when fees were last increased)," alderman Harvey Payne said.
With that discussion the board voted to freeze the advanced sale of plots until a decision on the price of lots has been made.
Bobby Bonds asked when the front gate at Hill Crest would be repaired so it can be used.
The mayor discussed probable cause of the damage to the gate and stone columns - vault trucks, he thinks.
Then the board rehashed prior discussions including the narrow width of all the entrance gates and drives except the one at Maury Street.
DeBerry suggested there could be a change in design at the entry at Maury Street and a parking area for vehicles could be built. Visitors could park and walk or the city could provide golf cart type service for a fee for those unable to walk to the site they wish to visit, he said.
Funeral processions would be allowed to drive through to the burial site, he proposed.
He opposes drive-through except for those who are visiting graves of relatives, he said, adding that people hit the wrought iron fences and gates with their vehicles then want to sue the city for damages.
"We need to look at a designed way to get people through from the driving perspective," he said.
Colhoun said he has visited many old cemeteries such as the Hollywood Cemetery built back in the late 1700s.
"They are all one-way but you can drive through," he said.
DeBerry said he was talking about ushering in the family of the deceased at funerals but restricting drive-through traffic otherwise.
"Other than that (funerals), why do you need total access (by car)?" he said.
Colhoun said for people to not be allowed to drive through is "absurd."
"Make it one-way traffic flow," he said.
DeBerry restated his idea to bring people to a holding area rather than allowing drive-through.
"The respect we have in the cemetery is for the inhabitants," he said. "My coming to the cemetery does not make it sacred. I think we can channel people in and out. A cart for the elderly or handicapped would be better. We are capable of walking ourselves."
"We are going to have to look at a lengthy time (to study)," Colhoun said.
"Sacred, yes. Revered, yes. But we have to look at it from common sense - how to move tourists through there," DeBerry said. "I think a golf cart would be pleasing. The purpose of the golf cart is to accommodate the impaired. We are not required to give total access but opportunity for access."
He said the streets are about 10 feet wide in the cemetery whereas standard street width is 24 feet.
"I am really opposed to shutting that thing down," said Colhoun. "You got folks who go to see their loved ones every day. Are you going to tell them 'you can't drive in here?' "
Payne suggested offering a golf cart to everyone who wants to use one.
"To ride or to drive?" asked DeBerry.
"For those who like to come, let them park and charge a fee," Payne said.
"If that many people were coming through we need a driver," DeBerry said.
The remainder of the meeting was spent approving claims, travel for aldermen to attend a fire academy course, and discussing vandalism of a fence and light fixtures at Spring Hollow Walking Park.
Public works director Don Hollingsworth presented quotes for security equipment at the utility department and for roofing repair at the building.
A TVA increase in utility rates due to a fuel cost increase will begin on March 1, Hollingsworth said. The adjustment is an increase is 0.4 percent. General residential customers will pay about $3.40 more a month for electricity while average commercial customers will see an increase of about $3.50, he said.

I found the inclusion of Sylvie in 5x04 to be something as a surprise, and not a very pleasant one.
It's always hard to lose faith in someone. The way I see it, it's twice harder when you're losing faith in a fictional character because they are supposed to be infallible. Not in the sense of being perfect or logical (that would be boring, wouldn't it?), but because with enough dedication you can excuse their mistakes with poor writing, you can come up with a plethora of headcanons and fanon motivations to explain why they are suddenly acting in such a disappointing fashion. Once you're comfortable with your newfound explanation, things get better.
Except it doesn't always work.
Hal Yorke took three things from Rook: his job, his integrity and his faith.
To get them back, Rook gambles everything he's got left.
Two wonderful authors; one great story. If you like Hal/Rook or Hal/Cutler, or just good writing in general, then go and read this.
For any London-based fans of Colin Hoult, he's appearing tonight at The Invisible Dot, King's Cross.
I watched a play called "Mrs Lowry and Son" last weekend. It was about the artist L.S. Lowry, and it was quite nicely written. The depiction of the artist's mother started out as a wonderful piece of comedic characterisation but, as the play progressed, the unpleasantness of her character, and the deep unhappiness of the artist's situation, became increasingly apparent.
There were only the two characters in the play, and both the actor and the actress turned in good performances. L.S. Lowry was played by Michael Begley, perhaps better known as the sarcastic vicar in Being Human. Anyone in London might want to see if there are still tickets available.
Andrew Gower in Murdoch Mysteries 7x04
First of all: I see the Good Hal/Bad Hal dichotomy as one of Hal's own creation. It's like a safety net; as long as Hal is clean, he can externalize his guilt and self-loathing onto the "other" version of himself. Likewise, when he does kill, he can see…
I've done my fair share of complaining about the "split personality" thing in the past. Don't get me wrong — I think that the concept has a lot of merit. I believe that Hal has objectified his darker side to the point where he genuinely regards it as a separate part of himself, and one that is largely outside of his control.
What I have an issue with is the idea that the two sides of Hal's character are completely separate. I prefer to see them as a spectrum, with various aspects dominating at any given time. After all, "good" Hal isn't exactly an angel, and "bad" Hal isn't entirely evil incarnate. I dislike the thought that his psyche is separated into two entirely different personalities, and certainly not to the extant that when one is in the driving seat the other is entirely absent. I don't buy the idea that neither side of his personality knows what the other was doing while it was in charge. There is ample evidence that "good" Hal knows exactly what he did while he was being bad. That's why he fights not to "relapse". Similarly, "bad" Hal knows — and is oh so bored by — what his better side has been up to.
The other issue I have with the "split personality" thing is when people claim that the "bad" part of Hal is some sort of outside force. I've seen it suggested that vampirism is a sort of demonic possession, and that the vampiric force is what makes the affected person do bad things. For me, that view of vampirism belongs more to the Buffy-verse than the world of BH. I've also seen it suggested that Hal's Jekyll and Hyde routine, when tied up in the cellar 5x04, was caused by the Devil possessing him, or influencing his actions.
I think that both of these things are attempts to absolve Hal — or the persona that we think of as "our" Hal — of the responsibility for his actions. That's partly why I dislike those interpretations of his "split personality". For me, one of the key themes of Being Human is the characters' ability to make their own decisions and to control their own actions — together with the fact that they will have to face the consequences of those actions.
I don't think that it was necessarily important that it was Hal's blood. It's the trinity part that's important. The vampire, werewolf, and ghost have to be part of a willing trinity. That trinity could have been Mitchell, Annie, and George, or Adam and the werewolf and ghost fromBecoming Human. Hal, specifically, isn't important. The fact that Hal has a bond with a ghost and a werewolf, who have also agreed to perform the ritual, is the important part.
The problem in 5x01 and the start of 5x06 wasn't that Hal used another vampire's blood. It was that he used the blood of a vampire who had no connection to the other two parts of the trinity, and he took that blood against the vampire's will. I think it's mostly a consent issue that negates the effectiveness of the ritual. Which, yes, lays most of the events of Series 5 at Hal's door.
I also assumed that the incantations and magical trappings were mostly to summon the Devil in 5x01. Because the Devil was clearly already there, those parts of the ritual were no longer necessary. All that was left to be completed was the blood trinity portion.
I'd still really like to know where Hal got the idea that the Devil was behind his war with Lady Catherine in the first place though. Who told him that?
Well put — I totally agree. The three have to have a bond. That's what made Hal special and what made the rare vamp/ghost/wolf trinity a big deal in all its incarnations.
Yes, though I don't think it necessarily has to be a trinity with a super strong bond or anything either - like Hal/Lady Catherine/Emil, for instance. It's not like they were all BFFs. Lady Catherine and Emil hadn't even met before they came together and decided to do the ritual, but they still came to a mutual agreement to join forces as a trinity.
If Hal had suggested to them up front that he wanted to use a stand-in because he was a giant vampire coward, it might not have been an issue. He could have introduced that stand-in to Emil and Catherine, and then Emil, Catherine and Hal's poor vampire stand-in could all agree together to move forward without Hal, all three aware of what they were trying to do (this is assuming that Hal managed to get someone to volunteer and wasn't forcing them to step forward in his place. I think they had to want and agree to do it). It was Hal slipping in blood that was not part of the agreed upon trinity that was the primary issue, in my opinion.
I never thought about the idea that the ritual didn't work in 5x06 because Hal was only agreeing reluctantly/had no other real choice,as psmith73 suggested, but that's interesting. I just assumed that it didn't ultimately work in 5x06 because they were already trapped in Hatch's dream world at that point (I think theywereall trapped in Hatch's dream world at that point, so it wouldn't have mattered, but the idea that Hal wasn't really agreeing and was maybe more just forced into conceding is a good point as well).
I don't think that the events in HH with Rook/the Devil are a dream (at least they are not meant to look like that according to the canon)… I've thought about it and watched the episode several times – the cinematography of the "dream worlds" is quite distinctive, it differs from "reality". The scene with Rook in HH is shot in the same way as "reality" and not the "dream worlds".
Speaking on the topic of conscious "good will" of all the participants, I've based this theory on the Christian mythology, tbh. Correct me if I'm wrong – when Jesus made his sacrifice in order to save humanity, free will/conscious decision on his part was one of the important aspects, right? Without it he would've simply been another victim and not the Savior.
And season 5 did quote the Bible – what with the whole the Devil arc, the four horsemen… etc.
From my first viewing of 5x06, I've been convinced that the trio remained trapped inside the Devil's dream world right up to the end of the episode. The final extra scene only made me more certain of that.
Now I'm intrigued by how many people believe that those events — Hatch's death, Rook arriving at HH and the trio becoming human — happened in reality.
And I'm really curious about how those people explain the ending of 5x06. The presence of the origami wolf, and the camera tilt, both seemed to indicate that the characters were still in a dream world. More importantly, I'm curious about how they explain the extra scene. How was Hal able to pull that trick with the cards, and why was he using the cards that had belonged to Hatch? If the other diners are real live people living in the real world, then why did they stop eating and gather around the trio?
Hal was convinced that they were living a lie, and he managed to persuade Alex and Tom that that was the case. I'd like to know why some people are so certain that the opposite is true.
It's a good question: did it really have to be Hal's blood that was used in the ritual to destroy the Devil, back in 1918? If so, then it was Hal's fault that the Devil escaped and, ultimately, many of the tragic events of series 5 can be laid at Hal's door. But was it really so critical that it was Hal's blood — and if so, why? I can think of various explanations.
Firstly, it's possible that Emil was wrong. Maybe the blood could have come from any vampire, and the ritual was performed by a true trinity, after all. The reason that it didn't work was that the ritual itself was flawed or inadequate, and that it never had the power to kill the Devil.
(The people whose blood was used in the ritual — Catherine and the unnamed vampire — died as a result. However, that only proves that a person was linked to the ritual once their blood has been used. It does not prove that a specific individual had to provide the blood in the first place. And those deaths don't prove that the ritual went wrong. In 5x06 the Devil claimed that, even if it worked, the ritual would result in the deaths of all participants.)
Alternatively, Emil might have been correct. Perhaps it had to be Hal's blood, not the blood of any other vampire — and that brings us back to the main puzzle: why Hal?
Maybe there was something inherently different, or more powerful, about Hal that made his blood more effective. I don't see that as very likely, though. As far as we know, there is nothing particularly unusual about Hal. He's not the oldest vampire in the world and there are no ancient prophecies about him. He's not even the only vampire to periodically rediscover a conscience.
Perhaps it had to be Hal who performed the ritual because he was the leader of the vampires, just like Catherine was the leader of the werewolves. However, Hal was a local (or military) leader, rather than the overall leader of the vampires. (That would have been Mr Snow.) And surely Emil could not have been the leader of the ghosts. Unlike the vampires and werewolves, we've never seen the ghosts banding together to form communities and hierarchies. (Perhaps that's because most ghosts only stay on earth for a relatively short time, while they complete their unfinished business.)
But if there's nothing inherently unique or powerful about Hal himself, then why would it have to be his blood that was used in the ritual? Perhaps because the ritual named (or otherwise identified) the participants, and the blood had to belong to those participants. The parts of the ritual that we saw in 5x01 were quite elaborate, involving incantations and a magical circle on the ground. Maybe the participants were named in the incantation, or perhaps they had to stand in a particular spot. In this way, the ritual might have identified the specific individuals who were supposed to provide the blood, and so it would fail if the blood belonged to a different person.
But 5x01 was not the only time we saw the ritual performed … and this is where the waters become even muddier. In 5x06, the current trinity made two attempts to perform the ritual. However, both attempts happened when the trio were inhabiting the "dream world" created by the Devil. (To clarify, in case this differs from generally accepted wisdom, I believe that the trio inhabited a form of artificial reality from the moment that the Devil first "pulled the trigger" in the TV studio, and that they stayed in a form of fake reality for the rest of the series.)
But even if the dream world was not real, then it must have been realistic. Hal believed that he was facing the Devil, and he believed that he could use the ritual to destroy him. He carried out that ritual in a way that fitted with his existing knowledge of how the ritual worked. And the ritual as Hal performed it in 5x06 was a lot simpler than what we saw in 5x01. There were no incantations or other magical trappings, simply the act of mixing and drinking the vampire and werewolf blood. In 5x06, the ritual did not seem to include any way of magically identifying who would provide the blood. That argues that it was unimportant whose blood was used, as long as it belonged to a werewolf and a vampire.
Of course, there is another possible explanation for the questions surrounding the ritual: bad script writing. Given the very patchy writing that was the bane of series 5, I'm afraid that I find this explanation the most plausible of all.

Honolulu Heights Floor Plan
I tried to piece together a floor plan/schematic of the house in Barry as best I could from what we see on the show. I made no attempt to come up with any kind of scale for this, just sort of guessed at relative room sizes and things.
Question mark = area that hasn't been shown on the show
Red lines = doors/doorways
Blue lines = windows
1. I have no idea why there isn't a room 1. Annie's room has two doors…maybe it's considered rooms 1 and 2? Not sure.
2. The footprint of the first floor should probably match the ground floor, but I couldn't get it to work and still make sense with what's going on inside. It's clear from shots of the outside that the window in room 6/8 isn't located right behind room 4, but I couldn't make it fit otherwise, so I went with it. (The kitchen is definitely indented like that though, as Adam leaves the back of the house and then goes to stand outside the kitchen bay window during 4x05).
3. The footprints of the cellar and attic do not make sense when you take into account the footprint of the rest of the house and the location of the stairs. I'm guessing we're just not supposed to think about/notice this. Basically, the cellar and the attic are partially above and below the house next door. Probably not up to code. Shh.
4. I think room 6 is the room that Annie offers to Pearl in 4x03 when she says "I'll put you in the second guest bedroom, which is right next to Leo's. It's quite…well, it's cozy, if that's okay." Cozy seems pretty accurate. I think I might have been a bit generous with the size of that room, based on what little of the hall/door we ever see on the show.
5. I have no idea what to say about the door marked room 5. I really can't imagine it opening anywhere except back into the stairwell.
6. Also the door marked room 7 (I can't think of any scenes where the number on this door is legible so I'm just inferring that it's probably room 7 based on the rest of the door numbers) is essentially a cupboard with two doors as far as I can tell. Another spot that we probably aren't supposed to think on too hard. I don't see how they can fit much more than that behind either of those doors without some kind of 'bigger on the inside' TARDIS magic.
7. Not sure what's going on behind the door at the end of the hall on the 1st floor, but I'm guessing, based on the bar handle on the door, that it leads to a back stairwell that comes out…somewhere. Maybe it's an outdoor fire escape or something.
8. Based on the layout of the house, there's no way that Herrick could poke a hole through the floor of his room in the attic during 3x06 (I think it was 3x06 anyway) and look down into the bathroom. They're on opposite ends of the house.
(and I do have larger versions of this if you find it illegible even once you click on the images to make them larger)

Mesa's East Valley Institute of Technology agreed Monday to back off a policy that bans cosmetology students from speaking Spanish among themselves in the classroom.
"For right now, the teacher will remove this rule from the classroom. They will not enforce it," said junior Patricia Otero, 16, who attended a twohour meeting Monday at the school with about 15 administrators, board members, parents and civil rights activists.
Earlier in the day, a civil rights group announced a federal complaint filed with the Civil Rights Office of the U.S. Department of Education on behalf of Otero. In the complaint, the Arizona chapter of the League of United Latin American Citizens contends that the classroom ban on Otero's native language at a public school that receives federal funds violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
"If you draw federal funds, you cannot discriminate based on language," said Silverio Garcia Jr., education chairman of Arizona LULAC.
Garcia said LULAC is not seeking punitive damages from EVIT in the complaint and only wants EVIT "fixed."
EVIT spokeswoman Lynn Strang said Monday that the school had not seen a copy of the complaint and has not been contacted by the U.S. Department of Education. She said her school has been working toward a resolution with the families involved and a different civil rights group, the Mesa Association of Hispanic Citizens. "We want very much to find a resolution with the families," Strang said.
The Spanish language debate started Oct. 1 at EVIT when a cosmetology teacher scolded Otero and other Hispanic students in front of the class for chatting among themselves in Spanish during lab time while other students chatted in English.
Otero said one of the Hispanic students was a recent immigrant who did not speak English well. But the teacher, who speaks only English, said speaking Spanish in front of English speakers is rude and raises classroom management and safety concerns.
"It seems fair to us that a teacher would be able to know what's going on in her classroom," Strang said. She said EVIT has asked the state for a "pure interpretation" of Arizona's English immersion law and will comply with whatever instructions are handed down.
Garcia said EVIT's concerns about classroom safety, however, are without merit and cloud the real issues.
"LULAC says it's not a safety issue; this is a cultural and ethnic issue," Garcia said.
Otero, who attends Mesa High School for her core academic subjects, said she has taken heat from several EVIT classmates since she went public with her civil rights complaint last month. Her story has been covered heavily in the Valley's Hispanic media.
"Many girls have told me I'm making a big deal about this," Otero said. On Thursday, she said she was left crying in the hallway when the criticism became especially sharp.
"But I'm not doing this just for me," she said. "This has been going on for many years."
EVIT invites the community to visit the campus for cosmetology care, but Otero said the school has historically done little to include the Hispanic community.
"When you go into the marketplace, it isn't English only," he said. "In true reality there is a huge demand for bilingualism."
Strang said the school never told the girls that Spanish was bad or that they could not speak Spanish outside the classroom.
"I think bilingualism is one of the greatest advantages that a person could possibly have," Strang said.

News of Tuesday's immigration raid at Mishawaka's Janco plant has prompted responses from many viewers; some folks praising ice, some condemning Janco, and some sympathize with the workers and their families.
But for others, the news was a hot lead on a new job.
We asked managers at Janco today how many applicants have come in since Tuesday.
Their reply was the same as it has been to any question we've asked since the raid, "No comment."
Although we couldn't get an official number, from across the street, we saw a steady stream of applicants -- filing in and out of Janco's human resource office.
Job seekers tell us they're ready and willing to fill the at least 36 spots left vacant as a result of Tuesday's immigration raid, whatever those jobs may be, "I'm not sure. I just applied for any openings that they had available," Lisa Alexander tells us after filling out an application
"Anything, whatever they have available, that's what I'm looking for," Issac Alexander says of the position he hopes he gets.
While the raid may have created an opportunity for them, some applicants say they feel bad for the arrested workers, "There's an up and down to it. Its down for them, it's up for people who don't have a job right now," one applicant says. Lisa Alexander adds "people need a job, if they're illegal that's bad, but they needed a job too."
But others saw it differently.
"I see it like this; the illegal immigrants are taking all of our jobs really, that's why we don't have jobs really," one job seeker tells us. Issac Patton adds that the arrests are," creating jobs for people who actually live her in the United States, its a good thing for me."
Of the 36 Janco employees that were arrested on Tuesday, federal agents tell us most will be eligible to post bond and will possibly be released until their deportation hearings.
Five have agreed to deportation; they'll be transported to Mexico as soon as possible.
Two had previously been arrested on illegal immigration charges; they will automatically be deported.

Lost Wedding Rings Are Found in Some of the Weirdest Places
If you think about it, the Pericolo family had it easy -- they just gave the garbagemen a description of their trash bag and sent them in to dig around for awhile.
This isn't nearly so impressive as Aleki Taumoepeau, an ecologist who accidentally lost his ring in a New Zealand harbor and found it months later with the help of Google Maps, GPS coordinates and his snorkeling abilities.
Many times, lost wedding rings turn up unexpectedly, like when 3-year-old Ryan Baima was digging around in his backyard in Massachusetts and found two rings that had been lost there 33 years ago, even though several truckloads of dirt recently had been removed from the yard. The rings belonged to Joan Mulligan, who plans on having them repaired just in time for her 50th anniversary.
Sometimes it takes a little investigative work, even if it isn't meant to be investigative work. Stuart George went to a talk on metal detecting, and found the ring he had lost 20 years ago sitting on a tray of found treasures.
And of course, in Murfreesboro, Tenn., cops nabbed the crooks who stole a couple's wedding rings just in time to save the wedding.
It kind of makes successfully sending a bunch of guys into a garbage pile lose its magical charm, although to give the Parsippany sanitation workers credit, this was not their first amazing find -- they also found a set of false teeth for somebody once.
Let's all hope we don't end up dating that guy.

I only lost my ring once... On Valentine's Day!
I found it 3 days latter in a jacket I have no recollection of wearing.

If you lose your ring outside in a park, beach, or yard-there is a network of metal detecting specialists that can hep you find it. Most of them work on a reward basis, so if they don't find the ring if probably won't cost you anything. You can find them at www.TheRingFinders.com

Today was a busy day at work. After having a delicious stir fry prepared by the wok master Melissa we went to the mall for about an hour or so. When I got back I started working on some things I took home with me tomorrow. I got about about 80% of it done, with just a few things to finish up in the morning. Feels right good about that I does.
But then I realised I never had a photo for today and it seemed fitting to take a picture of my "work station." I have a desk I could work from, but the bed is so damn comfy. Anyway, working on legislation wasn't all bad tonight as I was able to talk to my good friend Hans Rollmann about another issue. To no surprise Hans' passion was only outdone by his knowledge of the issue I spoke to him about, thanks dude!
If you look closely you can see the many tabs I have runnin'. I thought this was the most appropriate to have displayed.

LIMA, Peru — Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori suffered a stroke on Friday and was hospitalized in stable condition with some loss of control of his left upper arm, his doctor said. The stroke occurred early Friday at the police compound where the 75-year-old Fujimori is serving a 25-year sentence for authorizing death squads during his 1990-2000 presidency, his neurologist, Dr. Juan Barreto, told The Associated Press.

Alberto Fujimori Fujimori (Spanish: [alˈβerto fuxiˈmoɾi], Fujimori Ken'ya (藤森 謙也); born 28 July 1938) served as President of Peru from 28 July 1990 to 17 November 2000. A controversial figure, Fujimori has been credited with the creation of Fujimorism, uprooting terrorism (Sendero Luminoso) in Peru and restoring its macroeconomic stability, though his methods have drawn charges of authoritarianism and human rights violations. Even amidst his 2008 prosecution for crimes against humanity relating to his presidency, two-thirds of Peruvians polled voiced approval for his leadership in that period.
A Peruvian of Japanese descent, Fujimori fled to Japan in 2000 amidst a corruption scandal, where he attempted to resign his presidency. His resignation was rejected by the Congress of the Republic, which preferred to remove him from office by the process of impeachment. Wanted in Peru on charges of corruption and human rights abuses, Fujimori maintained a self-imposed exile until his arrest during a visit to Chile in November 2005. He was finally extradited to face criminal charges in Peru in September 2007.

The skort is true to size, fits comfortably but the shorts ride up very easily when you start to move about. this makes it uncomfortable to wear for a long period of time and negates the point of the skort as, if the wind blows, it looks like i am only wearing gym knickers underneath :/

Moving, Selling, & Buying
Mo Mortgage, Mo Problems
One of the first steps we took when we officially dubbed ourselves "house hunters" was to find out how much house we could afford. Sure, we knew what was in our bank account and what sort of mortgage payment we could handle… but it's not about what we think. It's about what the banks think. So we made an appointment with our lending agent (the same guy who helped us buy & later refinance this house) so he could analyze our assets to estimate what loan amount we'll get – which obviously will help us determine the price range of the new house that we should be hunting for.
We were cautiously optimistic about this appointment. Optimistic because in the years since our first purchase in 2006 we've saved more and now that we're married we knew we could combine our assets (we were engaged in '06 when we purchased this house, and Sherry was only four months into being self-employed as a freelance copywriter so her income was considered "unstable" and I had to qualify for the house loan all by myself). But although we assumed we had to be in a better position today than we were four and a half years ago with only one income to consider, we still weren't doing cartwheels because we know that banks are much more conservative these days. Plus now I'm the one who has only been self-employed for a few months. So Sherry can call me unstable this time.
In preparation of our big loan meeting, we gathered old tax forms & W-2s and calculated bank account balances. Then we sat down with our lending guy. His news wasn't great. Since I'm no longer employed by the company that contributed 75-ish percent of our income in 2009 the banks weren't going to count that income since I was no longer with the company. Not one dime of it. Instead, they'd base their approval solely on income from our current jobs (i.e. this blog) from the 2009 tax year. Without naming numbers, let's just say that made us look less like two people who'd been working full-time for 6 years, and more like one person who just landed their first job after graduation. Crap.
Our lending agent said that in order to get this year's blog income considered (which isn't a ton, but is definitely more than our '09 earnings) we'd have to wait until our 2010 taxes officially hit the books next spring.
Cue the wop-wop sound effect.
But just as we were about to mentally put our house hunt on hold, we got some good news. Despite the income issue, our good credit and our on-time mortgage payment history with our current house could still get us approved for a loan equivalent to the value of our current house. Good, except that buying a house of the same value doesn't necessarily get us that smidge of extra square footage that we think will come in handy in the coming years as our family grows.
Then a light bulb went off (okay, more like our agent flipped the switch). We had forgotten about all of the equity in this house that we get to leverage by selling it. In other words, since we've paid off half of this house (it was extremely affordable and we put a lot of money down) that means our next house can be this house-and-a-half thanks to rolling that equity (read: money) over into the new house after selling this one. Not that we're looking to go that big or spend that much. At all. But it's comforting to know that we won't be stretching financially (well, we already know how much we can afford, it's just nice to know that the bank might just agree).
So let's just say that taking a pay cut to be your own boss along with your self employed wife isn't the best strategy to get the bank on board with you. Lesson learned.
In the end we're happy with the outcome of the pre-approval process since the number we're approved for puts us right in the perfect window to find a slightly-larger version of this house (about as big as we had hoped to make our current house back when we talked about adding a small addition on the back to give us some room to grow in the future when there are more Petersiks around). And this pre-house-hunting research gives us some extra leverage with realtors and sellers (they seem to like us pre-approved folks).
Now that we have the money stuff semi figured out, it's time to pin down what we're looking for in the next house when it comes to style, layout, and all that good stuff. Knowing Sherry there's going to be a list involved. The girl is list crazy.
Psst- We announced our big winner for this week's contest at the end of Monday's original contest post. Click here to see if it's you.
Sweat Drops
Holy bananas. We just stuck the For Sale sign in front of our house (the one in this post was photoshopped in case you couldn't tell). Big day. So it's official. Our house is really on the market.
We're still in the process of doing a ton of things to woo potential buyers both inside and out (stay tuned for those details as we go) and we're actually trying the for-sale-by-owner route… at least for a little while. Being such big DIYers it seemed odd not to give it a go (especially since my mom and dad have sold nearly every house they've ever owned themselves). Although we're definitely not opposed to turning to a realtor if we don't get much of a response in the coming weeks.
We'll keep you posted. In the meantime we'll be crouched down in front of the window staring at the little flier box to see if anyone stops to take our info sheet. We're sure a lot of neighbors will grab one (after all, we do that whenever anyone else puts their house up, just to see what they're asking and to compare our home to theirs) but we're hoping some actual house-hunters will take notice too. Cross your fingers (and eyes) for us. Off to clean something within an inch of its life…

August 14, 2002 -- The latest findings by Frost & Sullivan show sustained growth in the Western European market for municipal waste management services.
Signaling an upwards trend in revenue growth, rising investment in new technology and the gradual move away from depositing municipal waste en masse towards the use of pre-treatment will help push overall sales from $31.62 billion in 2002 to $37.87 billion at the end of 2009.
Setting challenging national targets for the reduction of biodegradable waste and its pre-treatment prior to disposal to landfill, the strict regulatory controls associated with the EU Landfill Directive remain a significant driver. Furthermore, growing governmental support for the waste hierarchy principle, which includes the prevention, reduction, recycle and energy recovery (thermal treatment) of waste, will catalyze growth.
While the Directive will only be transposed into law over the next few years, many governments are already reviewing the viability of alternatives to this traditional method of disposal. The rising ubiquity of private sector companies within a number of national markets and the ongoing privatization of municipal interests will help activity in the overall municipal waste management services market shift up a gear.
National and EU legislation, coupled with fiscal measures, underpin the governmental strategy to divert away from traditional disposal methods and to raise public awareness of the benefits gained from pre-treatment. Pre-treatment options such as sorting and separation, thermal treatment and biological treatment, carry a premium price tag and thus offer greater revenue potential to players in the overall municipal waste management services market.
Growth in the European municipal waste management services market was knocked by the high prevalence of landfill as the largest disposal route across many parts of Europe, but the full impact has been offset by legislative pressures.
The study stresses that the willingness of national governments to commit themselves to investment and underline their green credentials will be a further determinant of growth.
John Raspin, Research Manager at Frost & Sullivan, points out: "Mounting pressures on those charged with responsibility for waste management, essentially municipalities, is resulting in a greater need for professionalism from waste contractors and the ability to offer a one-stop-shop for municipalities. Increasingly, integrated waste services are being sought with contractors expected to be able to provide complete waste solutions."
"The use of centralized facilities for waste processing and treatment is increasing, as is the provision of non-core services, along with the waste management package such as maintenance and cleaning. The effect of these developments has resulted in a trend away from low-cost to more technically-driven waste solutions, which is favoring the multinational waste company. Such companies typically are able to offer a complete range of waste services in addition to having expertise in more specialist sectors such as incineration," Mr. Raspin continues.
All participants in the European municipal waste management services market must develop an understanding of the increasingly complex end-user requirements in order to carve a niche in the market, the study warns. The ongoing consolidation is already having implications for those companies who do not choose mergers and acquisitions as their preferred vehicles for corporate restructuring. These contenders must refine their strategies to gain a competitive edge.
French contractors Sita and Onyx, the clear titans of the MSW services market and jointly accounting for 18.5 per cent of total revenues in 2002, operate internationally while being able to deliver bespoke and specialist services if required. Other examples include RWE, Rethmann and Shanks. In this case the companies in question have chosen a more limited focus on particular services, strengthening their positioning through specialization.
Regional and local private sector companies, as well as those operated by publicly-owned companies and municipalities, sit at the opposite extreme of this market transformation. Unable to offer the breadth of coverage, they are increasingly being forced into specific sectors. Some have chosen high-value sectors such as thermal treatment while others are seeking to combine their track record in the market with value and service in an attempt to fend off consolidation across all sectors of the municipal waste management services industry.
The period beyond 2002 is expected to see further growth, although signs of maturity in some European markets will bring about a slowdown in revenue development. On a more optimistic note, average prices are expected to improve on their current depressed levels. This will be largely driven by rising environmental standards, technical improvements in treatment/disposal equipment and a consequent need to recoup investment.
"Over the forecast period, we will observe subtle changes in the relative importance of different sectors as the market moves towards higher-value services," Mr. Raspin reports.
The municipal waste collection services market is the largest sector under analysis in Frost & Sullivan's study. Rising waste volumes helped increase the value of the market from $16.10 billion in 1999 with a further increase to $18.96 billion expected by 2009 largely coming from the demand for separate collection services.
"Thermal treatment will reinforce its position as the second most valuable sector, although the greatest progress is forecast in the smallest sector, biological treatment, whose share of the market will rise by nearly 50 per cent. Such developments will have an adverse effect on the share of the market held by collection services. The shift away from landfill will reduce its profile, however, this decline is likely to be counteracted by rising gate fees," the study concludes.

Topics: Hospitals, Marketplace
Jan 27, 2014
The court supported a case brought by the Federal Trade Commission that argued the merger reduced competition in the local marketplace.
The Wall Street Journal: FTC Wins Challenge Against Idaho Hospital Deal
A federal judge ruled Friday that an Idaho hospital system must unwind its acquisition of the state's largest independent doctor group, a decision that could have significant implications as health care providers nationwide increasingly seek to join forces. The ruling handed another victory to the Federal Trade Commission, which in recent years has renewed its efforts to police health care mergers it sees as anticompetitive. The commission has won a string of rulings against mergers between competing hospitals. The Idaho case was considered a key test for the FTC because the agency was seeking to stop a different type of transaction, the acquisition of a physician group (Kendall, 1/24).
Bloomberg: Hospital Antitrust Case Won By U.S. Over Doctor Group
Idaho's largest hospital chain and physician group must unwind their merger, a federal judge ruled, siding with U.S. regulators seeking to broaden antitrust enforcement in health-care acquisitions. The combination of St. Luke's Health System Ltd. and the Saltzer Medical Group would raise prices for consumers even though it would improve patient care, U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill in Boise, Idaho said today, ruling in a pair of cases brought by the Federal Trade Commission and local hospital (Zajac and McLaughlin, 1/24).
Modern Healthcare: Judge Rules St. Luke's Must Give Up Saltzer Medical Group
Health care providers and antitrust experts have watched the case closely because it's the first time that the federal courts have decided a Federal Trade Commission case against a physician practice deal. The decision comes as health care systems across the U.S. have been rapidly scooping up medical groups to create integrated delivery networks to prepare for population health management. St. Luke's Boise-based competitors St. Alphonsus Health System and Treasure Valley Hospital filed suit in 2012 to block the deal, arguing that it would give St. Luke's too much power with payers (Kutscher, 1/24).

The twenty-first century City on a Hill
I have said numerous times that this blog approaches history from a non-political standpoint, and I feel that I have adhered to this rule quite successfully for the most part. However, this post will break that rule, and will probably contain the most political material I will ever post to this blog.
This post contains an analysis of modern American social conservative rhetoric through the lens of early seventeenth century North American Puritan doctrine. Though I feel that this post contains objective observations and analyses of the rhetoric used by social conservatives (and those who wish to court their votes), I cannot deny that readers who count themselves as members of the GOP—regardless of identification with the social conservative movement, gender, race and religious affiliation—may feel alienated by it.
This comparison, or lens through which to view the present, occurred to me as I was reading the main text which will be used in the course I am TA-ing next semester. As I am sure as common knowledge to some of you, many followers of the Puritan religion left England in the early seventeenth century to found a settlement in the New World in which they would be able to practice their faith without fear of persecution. In doing this, they were rejecting the right of the government to interfere with their spiritual affairs.
However, while the Puritans valued freedom of religion for followers of the Puritan faith, they denied this freedom to followers of other faiths, and instituted Puritan doctrine as the governing law for their settlement. This was a fundamental contradiction which they staunchly upheld until England began to exert greater control over the colonies.
Today, members of the social conservative movement share the same general Republican sentiment that the federal government does not have the right to interfere in the lives or personal affairs of its citizens. They believe quite passionately, for example, that the federal government has no right to exert control over private property, health, or education. As a part of the larger, ongoing debate over the role of government and states' rights, there are no fundamental contradictions within this belief set.
The contradiction comes into play, however, when it is taken into consideration that a goodly amount of people who hold the views outlined above also believe that the government has the right to interfere in the lives and personal affairs of its citizens when those citizens are doing things that social conservatives disagree with. They avidly support the blocking/repealing of legislation which would allow women and girls the freedom to control what happens to and within their bodies, and legislation which would extend to gay couples the same freedoms extended to straight couples.
This reflects the fundamental contradiction at the core of Puritan doctrine as it applied to members of other, non-Puritan faiths. While the above analysis of social conservative ideology is broad and simplistic, and while I could go on about this for pages in a more in-depth analysis, I think what I've written successfully conveys the idea that a good deal of Puritanical logic, reason, and worldview is alive—or perhaps, revived—and well within social conservative rhetoric, and that b. this is a situation for which the past may be used to great effect in the understanding of the present.

Mike Hussey's decision to retire from international cricket came as a surprise to his team-mates, who are still adjusting to life after Ricky Ponting.
While Cowan admitted it's going to be extremely difficult to fill the void left by both Ponting and Hussey - who will bow out of international cricket after the third Test with Sri Lanka, starting Thursday - the 30-year-old is looking forward to seeing how the team move forward.
"You can say what a hole it (Hussey's departure) leaves, that's pretty obvious," Cowan said on Tuesday.
"He is a phenomenal player, he's still playing as well as he ever has, so sure it's going to leave a hole.
"But the other side is that it's opportunity.
"It's an opportunity for this team to move forward how they want to - be shaped not by the past, but have a real crack with a new group, shaping a new Australian cricket team.
"That's exciting.
"That has to be exciting - if we don't think it's exciting then we've got an issue."
Cowan has been earmarked as a potential leader in the team, however he believes the load should be shared right across the team.
"I think in the Australian cricket team it's important to have multiple leaders and not just guys who are captaincy material," Cowan said.
"It's important we've seen people like Ponting and Hussey and those kind of guys set standards around training, around how the team behaves on and off the field.
"You need some guys to step up into those responsibilities, so it's nice to be mentioned but I don't think that changes anything about how I try and contribute to the group."
The Australians earned a longer break before the Test in Sydney by defeating the Sri Lankans in Melbourne well inside three days.
Cowan said they are focused on completing a whitewash victory over Sri Lanka, which would be the perfect send-off for Hussey.
"We have spoken at some length about our determination to make sure we win this series 3-0," he said.
"We experienced some disappointment earlier in the season and this is us, I guess, trying to vent that a little bit and we're pretty keen to see Mike off with flying colours."
Cowan said he has 'assumed' captain Michael Clarke will be fit to play after he got through a lengthy fitness test on Tuesday.
