Nuclear Revival in U.K. Planned as Cameron Spurs Profits
Prime Minister David Cameron's government is drawing up a law to make building atomic reactors more profitable.
The U.K. is aiming to revive the nuclear industry after Germany's largest utilities scrapped a project in March because the investment would take too long to pay off. Yesterday, the government announced measures including long-term contracts that give power producers guarantees to help them attract as much as 60 billion pounds ($97 billion) in finance for nuclear plants.
The proposals follow months of upheaval in the U.K. energy industry including the withdrawal of EON AG, RWE AG and SSE Plc from nuclear projects, the prospect of delays to a plant planned by Electricite de France SA and the resignation of Energy Secretary Chris Huhne. The government said the Energy Market Reform bill will become law next year, allowing utilities to take advantage of its provisions from 2014.
"Electricity market reform is about keeping the lights on," said John Cridland, director-general of the Confederation of British Industry, the U.K.'s largest business lobby. "Business investment in low carbon will only happen when the detailed market framework is in place. Today's announcements are an important stepping stone."
The bill calls for so-called feed-in tariffs with contracts for difference, a mechanism that smooths out rises and drops in power prices. That plan hasn't prevented utilities backing out of nuclear projects. RWE and EON, Germany's two largest utilities, dropped plans to build a nuclear plant in the U.K. in March, saying they couldn't justify the capital expenditure involved.
Horizon Venture
Their joint Horizon Nuclear Power venture has sites in Wales and the west of England and had planned to start construction of the first reactor by 2015. Their withdrawal came six months after SSE said it would sell its 25 percent stake in U.K. nuclear venture NuGeneration Ltd.
About half of Britain's coal-fired plants are scheduled to close by 201,6 and all the nation's nuclear stations are due to shut by 2035. Britain gets about 20 percent of its power from 10 nuclear stations. All except one reactor are owned by EDF and Centrica Plc.
The cost of a new generation of reactors may reach 60 billion pounds if all the proposed plants get built, according to the U.K.'s Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Center.
"We're not in danger of capacity shortages in the next two to three years," Tim Yeo, a Conservative lawmaker and chairman of the cross-party Energy and Climate Change Committee, said in an interview last week. "The problem comes in the 20-teens if we haven't started building."
Furthest Along
Electricite de France SA, the company furthest along in its plans to build a new nuclear plant, is unlikely to complete a reactor before 2020, according to U.K. energy markets regulator Chief Executive Officer Alistair Buchanan, two years later than originally planned. EDF has said it will make a final investment decision on its project at Hinkley Point in southwest England by the end of this year.
"As an investor, I'm closer than ever to making a decision at the end of this year to go ahead," Chief Executive Officer Vincent de Rivaz of EDF's U.K. unit, said at a conference in London last week.
EDF's first-of-a-kind EPR reactor at Flamanville, France, will cost about 6 billion euros ($7.8 billion), almost double the orginal budget. The tsunami and reactor meltdown at Fukushima have also weighed on costs, Citigroup analysts including Peter Atherton said in a May 8 note to investors.
"If construction costs are indeed anything like seven billion pounds per reactor, then an already very challenging program maybe reaching the point of impossibility in our view," the analysts said.
SSE's former partners Iberdrola and GDF Suez SA are still part of the NuGeneration venture.
Nuclear Championed
The role of nuclear power was championed by former Energy Secretary Huhne, who put aside his long-standing opposition to the energy source when he took office in May 2010. Huhne resigned in February after he was charged with lying about a driving offense.
His departure left his successor Ed Davey to oversee the proposed energy bill. The minister also faces public outcry that the government's energy plans are driving up household bills.
U.K. families may pay as much as 65 billion pounds ($100.5 billion) a year for energy by 2020, more than quadruple he figure in 2000, according to Deutsche Bank AG. They will spend more than 1,500 pounds a year in 2006 prices by the end of the decade, Deutsche Bank analyst Martin Brough said in report in October.
"There needs to be that sense of momentum," said Bill Easton, director of U.K. power and utilities at Ernst & Young LP. "There's been a lot of concern about the timeline. It's all about creating certainty to invest in low carbon generation."

The past decade of football contests between Whitnall and New Berlin Eisenhower have primarily gone in one direction. Friday night in New Berlin, the game between the two Woodland Conference rivals took more wild turns than Christopher Columbus did before discovering America.
A history lesson would tell you that Eisenhower had defeated the Falcons seven of the last eight times dating back to 2002. This time, history was not meant to repeat itself as the Falcons completed a thrilling 36-28 comeback win over the Lions in the season opener for both schools.
Whitnall took advantage of three Eisenhower lost fumbles that proved to be the difference in a game between contrasting offensive mindsets. The Falcons and senior quarterback Zach Sutton spent the entire night peppering the air with an efficient passing attack, while the Lions opted for a running attack led by junior Nick Taylor.
Both offenses looked unstoppable at times and inept at others, but it was the passing game of Whitnall that dominated the fourth quarter. The Falcons finally took the lead with less than six minutes left in the game on a 30-yard field goal by senior Nick Stemo and sealed the win a few minutes later on a 33-yard touchdown pass from Sutton to fellow senior Patrick Wyrowski with 20 seconds left in the game.
"It was just the energy, everyone just brought the energy," Sutton said. "We knew we had the momentum going into the half and we knew we could beat them.
"We had all the confidence in the world that we could beat them."
Sutton finished the game 30 of 48 passing for 261 yards and five touchdowns, with Wyrowski accounting for 105 of those yards on nine catches. Taylor averaged nine yards per carry for the Lions, 162 yards on 18 attempts and also played most of the defensive downs as a cornerback trying to defend the Whitnall passing attack.
"Our receivers are phenomenal both with speed and great hands," Sutton said. "The lineman gave me so much time to get the ball to them and it was just incredible."
In the first quarter, it seemed as though it would be another Eisenhower victory in the series, as the defense didn't allow Whitnall past midfield. When the Lions offense took the ball, they promptly ripped off huge running plays, including a 76-yard touchdown run by Taylor to open the scoring. When Taylor scored for the second time early in the second quarter, the Lions led 14-0.
Down 21-6 and punting the ball back to Eisenhower with fewer than 2 minutes to go, Whitnall recovered a muffed punt inside the Eisenhower 20-yard line. A minute later, Sutton found senior Sam Mentkowski for a touchdown, bringing the score to 21-14 at the break.
After another Taylor touchdown gave New Berlin Eisenhower a 28-20 late third quarter lead, the defense once again forced Whitnall to punt, and the Lions muffed it again right back to the Falcons. Another quick score followed.
"We made a lot of mistakes and have a lot of things to correct; there is no doubt about that," Lions coach Jeff Setz said. "I just think we had too many turnovers and gave up a lot of field position as a result of that. Those were situations where they got the momentum and they played well to comeback and win the game.
"We have a lot to learn with being able to get a lead and concentrating on not making mistakes when we have one."
It wasn't all bad news for the home fans. At halftime, the football field at Eisenhower was dedicated to longtime Lions coach Frank Granger.
Granger, who passed away last fall, was head coach from 1969 to 1990, racking up 15 winning seasons, nine conference titles and two state-title game appearances. He won five conference titles in a row and had three undefeated seasons. The turf was named Frank Granger Memorial Field.

I'm trying to restrict certain areas of my site to the public, or the Subscriber role. However volunteers need to access a volunteer area of the site, once again not visible to the public. Volunteers have logins with contributor roles.
My problem is at one point I had this working, but now anyone with a role lower than Editor cannot access content hidden from public, yet volunteers (Contributors) can't access the page either.
I've somewhat narrowed this down to page restriction to the Volunteer page.. unrestricting Page reader (Aka subscriber/public) allows a volunteer login access to the page.
Whatever happened to contributor role outdoing the reader role, not the other way around!
I'm getting frustrated trying to fix this... I feel like I've tried about everything short of reinstalling WP (which I might do soon if I can't get this working).

I would like to know how to install FFmpeg on Debian.
migrated from serverfault.com May 21 '11 at 14:08
This question came from our site for system and network administrators.
Debian Jessie and later no longer include the ffmpeg, however you have 3 options for installing ffmpeg. I'd suggest trying options 1 or 2 before installing from source.
Option 1: Use avconv instead
You may install "avconv" which has almost the same usage as "ffmpeg". The two commands often use the same syntax, but features such as srt subtitles may only work with ffmpeg.
Option 2: Install ffmpeg from deb-multimedia.org
To install ffmpeg, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the appropriate line for your distribution as listed here: http://www.deb-multimedia.org/
To add debian testing, either manually edit the file or run..
Example for debian testing only:
After adding the line for deb-multimedia, update the package, add the keyring, and install ffmpeg.
You will have to install the keyring as an unauthenticated package using this method.
Option 3: Install ffmpeg from source
Alternatively, you can install from source. This is how to create a .deb file using checkinstall which can then be uninstalled again. Install these packages, yasm or nasm is needed for ffmpeg specifically, the others are generally useful for building packages:
Next, clone the ffmpeg package or download the latest snapshot:
Compile ffmpeg:
Most of the checkinstall defaults are fine, but a version number is required. The current version is displayed by "cat RELEASE". This should create a deb file in the current directory.
Finally, install the deb file you made using dpkg:
You can install it via apt-get. If the package is simply called "ffmpeg".
If that doesn't work, you can try searching for it:
Note that this will install the packaged version of FFmpeg, therefore it will always be a little outdated. In case you experience bugs, please compile FFmpeg from source.
FFMPEG uses git so you will need to use the terminal. See here for the current location
There's a pretty comprehensive walkthrough on doing it here. Have extracted pertinent code for the lazy (myself included).
One thing to note, you may get some errors when configuring that you are missing packages. I needed to use RPM to get a couple of them when running Fedora 14 but your mileage may vary on Debian.
Checkout FFmpeg:
Configure [add your own preferences if you want]
Build and install
I downloaded the latest snapshot of ffmpeg from here http://ffmpeg.org/download.html. Then I followed Kdenlive's ffmpeg build instructions http://www.kdenlive.org – but run
before installing dependencies. They are:
static builds (works)
Go to this page and pick the build for your architecture:
Grab the url to the build file
It is now available for Jessy as a backport: https://packages.debian.org/jessie-backports/ffmpeg
Add something like this to
This repository gives you the package:

WHISTLER, Canada, Dec. 7 (Xinhua)-- Germany's Natalie Geisenberger maintained her perfect record in the current Viessmann Luge World Cup season by winning her fourth consecutive race Saturday.
After topping podiums in Norway, Austria and Germany earlier this season, Canada proved no different for the Munich native as she posted the fastest times in both her races at the Whistler Sliding Center to win the women's singles in 1:13.412.
Canada's Alex Gough got the home crowd excited in taking the silver medal in 1:13.545, while Germany's Anke Wishchnewski was third, 0.210 off the pace in the tight field. Fellow German Tatjana Hufner was a close fourth, 0.233 off the lead.
"I was doing everything right today. My sled is good, my start was good, the line was nearly perfect. Everything was nearly perfect and that is why you can win," Geisenberger said.
After capturing her first overall luge World Cup championship last season when she won six races and was runner-up three times, the 25-year-old will be going into Russia as the overwhelming favorite at the Sochi Olympic Games.
In 2010, Geisenberger won the bronze medal at Whistler in the Vancouver Winter Olympics as a 21-year-old.
"Everyone tells me that I should be the favourite at Sochi. There is pressure because I am expected to win, and that's my fight," she said.
Gough is another shouldering the high expectations of a nation after coming home without a medal in her two previous Olympic appearances. Since finishing 18th in the Vancouver Winter Games, however, her performance has greatly improved in capturing two World Cup events and a bronze at last year's world championships.
Saturday's runner-up finish was her best performance at Whistler.
"It is always nice to get on the podium, but it is definitely a good feeling to have my best result ever here," Gough said.
"I felt really good at the start. I pulled really good starts. The second run wasn't as great as I wanted it to be, but I put it together, had two good consistent runs and the result I wanted."
After capturing the men's singles and doubles event Friday, Germany made it a clean sweep in Whistler Saturday in taking the team relay event in 2:03.791.
Canada sliders (2:04.202) won the silver, while Austria (2:04.686) took the bronze.
The lugers now travel to Park City, Utah, for the final World Cup next weekend before the holiday break.

Paleo Honey BreadBreakfast, Grain Free, Recipes, Snacks and Treats
My post on no grain muffins proved to be very popular, so I am posting another no grain recipe I use frequently in our home. This particular honey bread recipe that is Paleo friendly uses coconut flour instead of nut or bean flours.
Baked goods made out of coconut flour tend to have the consistency of Sara Lee pound cake. When I was a gradeschooler, my breakfast often consisted of a slice of Sara Lee pound cake with some peanut butter smeared on top. Not an ideal healthy breakfast, by any means, but I do have a soft spot for the soft, spongy texture of pound cake even to this day!
If you love pound cake as I do, chances are you will like this honey bread which is a wonderful alternative to the typical wheat based pound cakes. This honey bread recipe does have a hint of coconut flavor, but it is not overwhelming and does not detract from complete enjoyment of the texture and overall flavor of the bread.
This honey bread does not get completely brown on top like wheat based pound cake, but the texture is quite similar. This bread is also very low carb and unbelievably filling for those of you who are limiting them for health or weight reasons. It's amazing how just one slice fills you up.
Paleo Honey Bread
6 eggs
5 Tbl butter, melted (sources)
6 Tbl coconut milk or whole milk (sources)
6 Tbl honey (sources)
1/2 tsp sea salt (sources)
1 tsp vanilla (sources) or make your own
1/2 cup sifted coconut flour (sources)
1/2 teaspoon, no aluminum baking powder (sources)
5 drops stevia (sources)
Whisk together eggs, butter, coconut milk, honey, sea salt, vanilla, and stevia. Mix coconut flour and baking powder in a separate bowl and then sprinkle this dry mixture in with the wet ingredients a bit at a time. Once everything is mixed, keep whisking until the batter is very smooth with no lumps. Pour into a glass loaf pan and bake at 400 F/204 C for 20-25 minutes or until loaf starts to slightly brown on top.
Makes 1 medium honey bread loaf, 12 muffins, or 24 mini muffins.
I LOVE a slice of this honey bread with some Arrowhead Mills organic creamy peanut butter on top. Why Arrowhead Mills? Because this company sources their peanuts from the Southwest USA where mold in peanuts is very rare. My husband and kids like a slice of honey bread with a big slab of butter and a bit of raw honey.

Love this recipe, but was wondering in light of your more recent article on the dangers of cooked honey if you have adapted it yet?
I need to fix this recipe and not use honey! Thanks for the heads up … maple syrup or yacon syrup would be the likely candidates for substitution, but I have not tested it yet.
I had a not so great first try at this recipe. It came out squishy and "wet". I have no idea what I did wrong.
Noahla Purdy
I just made this bread. It is really good!! Mine did rise beautifully but I had to cook it for a little longer so the middle wouldn't be soupy. Thanks!!!
yum! do you think this recipe would hold up cubed to use with fondue?
Sarah TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Yes, it should work. Great idea!!!!!
It seems odd that paleo would have coconut flour muffins. I don't think that's really a paleo meal. How about some acorn flour pancakes cooked on a flat rock over an open fire?
Pingback: Next step! No Grain? « schmidtadventures
made this twice so far, the second one just the other night. I was craving something sweet and cakey after doing no grains, no starches, no dairy (except Kefir) for the last 2 mos! Anyway, justu wanted to tell you that I substituted Kefir for the milk part, ghee for the butter part, and left out the stevia on the 2nd version. The sweetness was more subtle without the stevia, but it didn't taste as good slathered with my homemade strawberry jam as the first version with stevia did. Hmmmm, why is that?! also, in my new-fangled hi tech oven, the edges get VERY brown (blackened really), so I have to reduce the temp. 50 degrees.
My husband likes this too. I'm sold. so surprising that it only uses 1/2 cup coconut flour.
Just made these into muffins. They were wonderful straight out of the oven. With a slab of butter it was heavenly. I used the raw coconut flour from a company called Coconut Secret. Their flour is made from unheated coconut.
I'm curious as to why baking powder isn't allowed on the GAPS diet. Is it hard to digest?
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
Because baking powder has corn starch or potato starch in it and starches are not allowed on GAPS. Baking soda is ok.
Is stevia allowed on the GAPS Diet? I tried e-mailing askgaps, but I didn't get a reply. Thank you.
Sarah, the Healthy Home Economist
Sarah Faith, I should also add that we do not eat coconut flour bread/muffins too frequently in our home. Maybe 2 or 3 times a month. If we ate it all the time, it would probably be best to err on the conservative side and soak the coconut flour. However, since we don't eat it that much and there isn't enough info right now on the subject anyway, I choose not to soak it.
Sarah, the Healthy Home Economist
Sarah Faith, I do not soak my coconut flour because of this statement from "Living with Phytic Acid" by Rami Nagel (article in Wise Traditions Journal from March 2010 – until there is more information on this, I am choosing to not soak:
We do not have enough information about the preparation of coconut flour to say whether soaking reduces phytic acid, but as with other phytic-acid containing foods, the likelihood is that it is at least partially reduced.
Sarah Faith
Sarah, I just was reading over at Kimi Harris' blog (nourishing gourmet) that one is supposed to soak coconut flour as well, as it technically is from a seed and contains the same antinutrient properties as other seeds. I was so disappointed to hear this as I had been using coconut flour as my "last minute, I didn't soak anything last night" type breakfast solution. What are your thoughts on soaking coconut flour?
I think it may be a good idea to soak the coconut flour first. Have you tried this? I've been following the extensive series of posts on soaking and sprouting on The Nourishing Gourmet blog, and the comments say that Sally Fallon recommends soaking coconut flour.
Thanks for this delicious recipe — I look forward to making it!
Sarah, the Healthy Home Economist
Hi Melissa, you are absolutely right – thank you for pointing this out. These ingredients can be left out for folks on an extremely strict interpretation of GAPS or SCD. Some folks heal enough after a few months to be able to eat these but must still be off grains.
This recipe sounds great, and I plan to try it. But, I wanted to mention, as someone who followed the SCD strictly for almost two year, there are a couple of ingredients that are not SCD legal. The stevia and baking powder are not allowed when following the SCD.
I made this and it rose beautifully, moist, beautiful texture. WONDERFUL!!! We started eating it warm right from the oven! It tastes EXACTLY like Sarah Lee Pound Cake! We tried to not eat the whole thing at one sitting – it was hard! I will serve this to guests as a desert! Thinking about adding cocoa to it next time. THANK YOU!!!
Sarah, the Healthy Home Economist
Hi Dawn, this type of bread doesn't rise much if at all. If you find it too thin, then just bake in a smaller pan.
Sarah, I made this bread today and loved it! I do not have stevia but found it to be sweet enough w/ just the honey. I did have one problem. It barely rose at all. Was only about 2" high, if that. Any ideas why this may have happened?
I made this bread for my family for strawberry shortcake. We love it! The only problem for me was that the bottom was moist almost like flan and the top more like cake in our trial run. The second batch was better, I think my daughter added less milk the second time. It was a hit with my mother in law!

Hi Gaby,
Here is a link to the 3 day food logs for the WAPF Board Members. Several of these folks consume 60%+ fat each day. I hope you find it helpful!
Sarah, the Healthy Home Economist
Ok, Debi. Chocolate it is! I will post a recipe that makes use of some organic cocoa for Real Food Wednesday next week.
true blessings
Hello Sarah,I was wondering if you could please do a post on a sample menu of what a 60% fat diet looks like? Thank you,
Gaby from True Blessings
Everyone in the family LOVED this!!! Thanks, and do you have other recipes, maybe something chocolate? Debi Hickson
Thanks Sarah, She ended up hospitalized and the doctors thought she had a stroke. She ended up figuring it out on her own that she was allergic to honey. Now whenever she eats it (even in SMALL doses) she gets headaches and if she consumes to much, one side of her face gets numb. Very scary. We will try the glucose or the maple syrup. Thanks
Sarah, the Healthy Home Economist
Jenny, you may leave out the stevia. I should have put **optional** by it in the recipe. Feel free to add a tad more honey to the recipe instead but you may find the honey listed in the recipe is sufficient for you.
Jenny R
I am *not* a stevia fan….yuck! What's your recommendation for a substitute?
I made the bread today. Wow! Is that ever good. It is definitely more like a breakfast type bread or even a desert bread. It was a winner in this household and I love the good protein. With my coconut flour pancakes and this bread, I definitely have some great choices. We love to have breakfast for supper. Come to think of it, I wonder how the bread would work as french toast?
Thanks Sarah. I hope you keep them coming.
Sarah, the Healthy Home Economist
Wow, that's a tough one as honey is the easiest sugar to digest as it is a monosaccharide in natural form. It is also the only sweetener recommended on the GAPS diet which is the best diet for anyone with allergies to be on if they seek healing from this condition. Maple syrup (grade B) would probably work fine, but this sweetener is a disaccharide and as such, is harder to digest for folks with gut dysbiosis – which anyone with allergies has. I think I've seen glucose for sale in the sweetener section of healthfood stores before; this would be a good option as it would be a monosaccharide .. not in natural form like honey, but still better than a disaccharide sweetener, I think.
My wife is allergic to honey, what would you recommend to use instead?
This looks great. So many times, when I see "grain free" it ends up being a recipe using rice flour or millet flour, whatever. Those are too high in carbs for me to eat, but this will fit the bill. Thanks for sharing.

A Super Bowl of Greed
Do not read this column if you are among the one out of seven Americans living on food stamps or among the one out of six living in poverty. Do not read if you are among the more than 14.5 million unemployed.
If you still have a TV, do not turn it on. Today is Super Bowl Sunday. Those living in the other American economy are going to gleefully romp in a nationwide gala of conspicuous consumption.
Packers? What's left to pack? Steelers? Shouldn't they sell their name to Asia?
Two teams representing otherwise forgotten rust-belt cities will drive the most frivolous spending boom since Christmas.
The National Retail Federation says the average consumer will spend $59.33 on game-related merchandise, clothing and snacks, up from $52.63 last year.
This puts total consumer spending at $10.1 billion for one game.
"Consumers hoping to wow their friends and family with a new HD TV should act fast," said Mike Gatti of the Retail Advertising and Marketing Association. An estimated 4.5 million people will buy new TVs, versus 3.6 million last year, the association's survey showed.
As much as TVs cost, Super Bowl tickets cost more. A ticket averaged nearly $5,000 on the resale market last week. Some were priced at more than $277,000.
The average food-stamp recipient receives $133 a month. Yet some of us can blow enough loot to buy a house, a car and a big-screen TV on just one ticket.
Do you know what it costs to park? A mile from Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, $55. Across the street, more than $1,000, according to Parkwhiz.com. The website listed one spot at a nearby Taco Bell for $330.
The stadium -- just across from a Wal-Mart -- cost $1.2 billion to build. Taxpayers put up $325 million of that war chest. Many don't even like football, but the game arguably benefits them by keeping dangerous people off the streets.
More than 100,000 will attend. They'll spend an estimated $5 million on concessions and memorabilia. Another 110 million or so will watch at home. To reach all these people, many of whom have no respect for money, advertisers spend $3 million for 30-second spots.
More than one-quarter of Americans surveyed say they watch the game for the commercials, according to the retail-association survey. That's more than the 19.5% who say they enjoy getting together with friends. Who needs friends when you can afford stuff?
Rapper P. Diddy, born in a public housing project in Harlem, will be hawking Mercedes-Benz. General Motors, GM 0.41 % still partially owned by the U.S. government after its bankruptcy, is back after a two-year hiatus with five spots. It'll give a Camaro to the MVP of this festival of shameless avarice.
Kim "Keeping Up With" Kardashian will pitch Skechers shoes. And E*Trade will be back for the fourth time with its talking-baby spokesman.
Millions are still reeling from the big bust, and E*Trade has a baby on TV, talking smack as he trades his stock portfolio. A little baby, cynically nonchalant about his highly liquid net worth.
Hey, I warned you not to read this.

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this music-filled high school flick stars tween favorites Vanessa Hudgens and Aly Michalka,so expect interest from kids familiar with their Disney projects.Although it's rated PG and doesn't have any drinking/smoking, violence, or strong language, the movie deals with a few mature themes-- like bullying, an absentee father, a chronically ill parent, and theongoing quest for high school status. Be prepared for a few kisses, too (although nothing gratuitous), and product placement from the likes of Apple/iPod and Coke.

What's the story?
Frequently bullied high schooler Will Burton (Gaelan Connell) moves from Cincinnati to New Jersey with his supportive single mom (Lisa Kudrow). Prepared to once again be invisible, Will meets his match in Sa5m (the "5" is silent), a bookish-but-beautiful misfit played by Vanessa Hudgens, on his first day of school. Life changes even more dramatically when popular senior Charlotte (Aly Michalka) mysteriously befriends him and enlists him to manage her fledgling band as they prepare to compete in BANDSLAM, a multi-state competition for high school musical acts. Will instantly goes from friendless to juggling his friendship with Sa5m, his commitment to the band and Charlotte, and his responsibilities to his mom.
Is it any good?
Director Todd Graff's last film, Camp, was a delicious look at musical theater-buff teens, so it's not surprising that Bandslam (which is a good deal tamer than Camp) is such a charming little movie. Connell is perfectly cast as an adorable music geek -- and the fact he's not Zac Efron is part of the charm (Hudgens, after all, isn't playing Gabriela here). The movie makes you believe that young women as beautiful as Hudgens and Michalka would find Will attractive.
For parents who dig rock -- from classic to punk to indie -- Bandslam offers an amazing soundtrack, although not all the songs in the movie made it onto the official playlist. There's a recurring David Bowie joke that frames the story (Will writes him confessional emails), and in every scene at least half a dozen bands are discussed or played -- too many to count. The music (and Will's love for it) is what fuels the film, and whether it's Bowie or CBGB punk or the high school band Will pretentiously names I Can't Go On, I Go On, it all rocks.

This is my first time working with DataSets and BindingSources, so please be gentle on me.
As part of a more complicated reporting system (I've distilled it down to a basic incarnation, but it still won't run correctly), I'm trying to pull data from a database using a DataSet problematically (that is, not set up via the designer). Here is the code I have so far:
// pull the data set
var dsReportData = new Reports2.ReportTest2();
dsReportData.SchemaSerializationMode = SchemaSerializationMode.IncludeSchema;
// bind tha data set
BindingSource bsReportBinding = new BindingSource();
bsReportBinding.DataMember = dsReportData.Tables[0].TableName;
bsReportBinding.DataSource = dsReportData;
// test this stuff
dgvTester.DataSource = bsReportBinding;
I based this on the code I saw in a .designer.cs file after setting up binding through the designer. dgvTester is just a DataGridView with the default properties created in the designer.
The ReportTest2 dataset has just one TableAdapter in it, added via designer.
Now, if I went to Data -> Preview Data in VS and previewed the
ReportTest2.payments.Fill,GetData () object, it returns data just fine, same as if I ran the query I used to crate the TableAdapter in SQL Server Management Studio.
However, running the actual code results in the DataGridView getting the column names from the query result, but not the actual data. The debugger reveals that
dsReportData.payments.Rows.Count == 0 (and that, yes, dsReportData.Tables[0] is payments).
I ultimately intend to use the BindingSource to provide data to a ReportViewer, but first things first is making sure there's no problems with retrieving the data before going onto debug the report.
Hopefully I'm missing something obvious here. I hope so...

Greenslit is man of common sense
Seems to me the real issue in the politics of America anymore is simply this: Are we ready for America to become the counterpart of European socialism?
We're seeing and reading daily the economic struggles of various countries in Europe. At the current debt load piling up in America we're not that far from the same financial disaster. And to the extent that the liberal segment of America keeps endorsing more entitlement protectionism for virtually every group, even every political entity that seems to have a new cause, if that keeps happening at its current rate, an economic implosion is likely inevitable.
The current divisiveness of the mainstream of American politics certainly isn't the answer. It doesn't matter who has the ball and who's playing defense. The simple fact that neither side is willing to capitulate simply means there will be no winner. And in the process of that confrontation, we all are losers.
But we don't need to be. We need a strategy unencumbered with the rhetoric and the needless chatter of who's right and who's wrong. We need an independent spokesman with no baggage, no coattails, and no illusions of having to suck up to bigger money.
Such a man is Leon Greenslit, rural Franklin area ag businessman with family and history tied to the traditions of hard work and Christian ethics. A St. Olaf College graduate, Lee lives on a Century Farm in Birch Coulee Township, Renville County, purchased by his great grandfather in 1868. He was Conservation Farmer of the Year for Renville County in 2000. Lee is a member of the Minnesota Corn/Soybean Growers Association and president of the United Methodist Church in Morton where he was baptized, confirmed and married.
Greenslit's philosophy is crystal clear: The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
I've known Leon Greenslit for 42 years. He's a down-to-earth ag businessman with accounting and "business savvy" talents. District 20 needs commonsense thinking. Greenslit is that kind of a guy.

Dan Dugan Sound Design has introduced the Dugan Model E-3 Automatic Mixing Controller. The Model E-3 replaces the Model D-3 as Dugan's top-of-the-line, 8-channel automatic mixing controller with AES digital I/O. Through its interface with Dugan's Model CP-2 control panel, the Model E-3 provides all the functions of the D-3, including the Dugan Speech System, the Dugan Music System, Dugan Gain Limiting and three automixing groups in a smaller and more economical box.
"The Model D-3 was our most versatile controller, but in the past few years advances in technology have made it possible to deliver lower latency, a smaller size and a lower price for the same capabilities," said Dan Dugan. "We are passing these improvements on to our customers."
AES3 Audio connections are made through a DB-25 connector; readily available cable squids can be used where XLR connectors are desired. I/O may also be switched to ADAT optical connectors. The E-3 can be operated from the Dugan Control Panel for Java (included in the purchase price), the Model CP-2 physical control panel (optional) or the mute and bypass buttons on the E-3's front panel. The Model E-3 also links with all other digital Dugans, including the Models D-2, D-3, E, E-1 and Dugan-MY16, enabling the control of much larger systems. Mounting accessories for the half-rack wide E-3 are included.
Dan Dugan has been a pioneering innovator in the field of automatic microphone mixing for decades, constantly improving the state of the art. Dugan automatic mic mixing products eliminate cueing errors, reduce feedback and ambient noise pickup, allow for smooth transitions between talkers, provide consistent system gain no matter how many mics are open, have the ability of handling up to 64 live microphones and can be remotely controlled.

Hi there, Im just wondering when u will start selling again, i want to buy few again!
Kathryn Pryde
Lovely ponytail delivered in record time (ordered Sunday received Tuesday am) and I've finally found my ideal colour match (I have lots of tones in my hair and can wear golden brown or ginger brown but chocolate copper is perfect!). Ponytail is very smooth and gently swishy, easy to attach (even for someone not very good at the hairstyling stuff) and looks very realistic. Really delighted with the quality, ease of ordering and delivery. Also impressed with lovely packaging. these hairpieces make my day as they clip into my thinning (because of illness) hair and make me look like myself again - and better!! I'm now wearing one all the time, as they make me feel so much better! I've tried other retailers and not been as impressed. Will be ordering again.

Many rebates were announced and re-announced since the holiday season and during the explosion of new models being declared. Take advantage of those low prices while they last.
Most companies had respectable discounts on many models, ranging from $20 to $150 savings on some of them during the past few months. Less and less cameras are under rebate and it could be the end of savings season – if so, it ends February 25th.
Find out how much you can save by visiting the cameras on rebate page.
Nikon Coolpix S9100 – $179 ($130 off) valid Feb. 25th
Update (Febrary 26th, 2012):
I stand corrected.
Canon extended some PowerShot rebates – taking $50 off the prices of the A2200, ELPH 100, ELPH 300 and SX150.
Nikon also extended some Coolpix rebates, including some going-of-the-shelves models, like the S4100 ($80 off), S6100 ($70 off) and S8200 ($80 off), but also the new rugged AW100 ($50 off).
The Nikon rebates were not published by Nikon, but updated at B&H.

Global developments in the competition for land from biofuels
The potential global demand for biofuels and the implications of this for land use and its interaction with food agriculture is reviewed. It is expected that biofuels will form an important element of global transport energy mix (in the order of 20–30% of total requirement) over the next 40years and beyond. Over this time, there will be a transition from so called first generation biofuels, based on commodity agricultural crops with food/feed uses, to advanced biofuels, sometimes called second and third generation biofuels, based primarily upon lignocellulosic feedstocks. It remains unclear whether these advanced biofuels, based on lignocellulosic materials, will entirely replace first generation or if second generation will be supplemental to first generation. This expansion in biofuels will be coupled to a substantial increase in alternative fuels (electricity, hydrogen, biogas and natural gas) and modal shifts. Biofuel production from agricultural commodity crops that exhibit strong sustainability criteria will remain important (e.g. sugarcane) with supportive and competitive aspects for food security.

NEW YORK (AP) — Mark McGwire's voice repeatedly cracked with emotion during a telephone interview with The Associated Press as he recounted telling his wife, parents and son that he had used steroids.
His voice breaking, McGwire says, "It's the first time they've ever heard me, you know, talk about this. I hid it from everybody."
During a 20-minute phone call today, McGwire says he called commissioner Bud Selig and Cardinals manager Tony La Russa earlier in the day to personally apologize.
McGwire says that when he used steroids, he never imagined he would have to talk about it to national media.
He should be in the Hall of Fame. He never broke any rules. It is baseball's fault there were no rules in place. McGwire took advantage of the rules (or lack thereof)! Bottom line he never cheated.
USA 1 you hit the nail on the head. If he gets inducted into the Hall of Fame then he should get an asterisk by his name and Pete Rose should be indcted also.

ADD & ADHD Health Center
Nonstimulant Therapy and Other ADHD Drugs
In this article
Stimulant medications are usually a doctor's first choice for treating ADHD, but they're not for everyone. They can cause bad side effects for some people. For others, they just don't work very well.
If you're looking for other medications that work for the disorder, you've got several choices.
Sometimes your doctor will add one of these medicines to the stimulant you take, or he might have you take one of the following by itself.
There are three main groups of nonstimulant medications for the condition:
ADHD-specific nonstimulants. These were specifically created to treat the disorder and are FDA-approved for that.
Blood pressure medications. They can also help some people control ADHD. Some of these have the same active ingredient as ADHD-specific nonstimulants.
Antidepressants . These can help against the disorder by working on chemicals in the brain. They're also helpful for people who have ADHD and depression, anxiety, or another mood disorder.
ADHD-Specific Nonstimulants
Atomoxetine (Strattera) is OK for children, teens, and adults. It seems to boost the amount of an important brain chemical called norepinephrine. This appears to increase a person's attention span and lessen their impulsive behavior and hyperactivity.
Clonidine ER (Kapvay) and Guanfacine ER (Intuniv) are approved for children ages 6 to 17. Doctors also prescribe them to adults. These two drugs have an effect on certain areas in the brain. Studies show they lower distractibility and improve attention, working memory, and impulse control.
Advantages of Nonstimulants Over Stimulants
Nonstimulants don't tend to cause agitation, sleeplessness, or lack of appetite. They also don't pose the same risk of abuse or addiction.
Plus, they have a longer-lasting and smoother effect than many stimulants, which can take effect and wear off abruptly.

Despite the name, early adopters are not the first to own or use new products, especially technology according to marketing lingo that honour goes to 'innovators'.
Early adopters are the first wave of people to use the product en masse after the innovators and influence others. In other words, they are the Jones's of society.
If you're not in this illustrious group, which is estimated to make up 13.5 per cent of the population, don't worry. More often than not, thanks to the pace of technology, the price of items drops so quickly that you're better placed to pick up a bargain if you wait a while.

I've just upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I had an issue during installation; after setup rebooted instead of going to the 'Completing installation' screen I just got a blank screen. I eventually(!) figured out that this meant 'un-plug your second monitor to proceed'. When I did this, installation completed in a snap and everything runs fine. However, whenever I plug my second monitor into my PC, it gets no signal, the primary monitor removes all windows. Icons, the taskbar and the cursor just shows the desktop wallpaper.
I'm running a GeForce 8800 GTS 512 MB, with the latest drivers (197 IIRC). The monitors are identical, and both plug into DVI sockets on the graphics card, the only difference is I connect one using a straight DVI cable and the other using a VGA cable and a VGA-DVI converter. It's the DVI cabled one that has the issues (if I plug it in by itself it gets no signal). Everything was working fine before I upgraded to Windows 7 (I used to run Windows XP SP2). How can I fix this problem?

Looks like Catching Fire is heating up: Philip Seymour Hoffman has just been cast as Plutarch Heavensbee in the film adaptation of Suzanne Collins's bestselling novel.
Heavensbee, who replaces Seneca Crane as the new Head Gamemaker in the second installment of the Hunger Games trilogy, is a pretty complicated guy. After all, you never really know whether he's friend or foe until the very end of the book.
But complex roles are nothing new for the Oscar winner, 44, as shown by The Ides of March, Moneyball and Capote (for which he was named Best Actor).
No word yet on who's going to play hunky Finnick in Fire – which will also star Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth.
Tell us, Hunger Games fans, what you think of Hoffman's casting.

Awww...that stinks! Hope the ice packs work.

That sucks!!! I thought for sure there was no room to turn anymore. However, I will take that as a positive and hope that my two little breech babies will make a good decision and turn head down. I hope the ice works!

Mine did the same thing at 36 weeks. She was head down during 28 and 32 week u/s, then turned at 36 weeks. baby bs been transverse the whole time but the other day I was discussing the possibility of a vaginal breech delivery so the dr did a quick u/s, and baby b was also breech! Now they are side by side, and baby b might actually end up being born first! Im 38 weeks so I dont think they will be turning anymore..

Ugh, that stinks! I'm sorry, I know it's hard to get used to the idea of a c-section. Especially when you had been set for vaginal. My babies haven't been in a good position for a vaginal delivery for weeks so I've gotten used to the idea of a c-section. The good thing is, you get to have them Monday! Which is more than a week earlier than me so I'm jealous.
Let us know if the ice pack works!

I'm right there with you on the timing. I would seriously be upset if A turned breech since he's been vertex the entire pregnancy. B has been vertex since about week 32, but he was breech before that. At my hospital, the drs want them both head down in order to deliver them vaginally.
Luckily they are almost here! So sorry!

Would you be willing to try acupuncture? I have heard that there is a specific pressure point that can help turn a baby. It is worth a shot. There may be a community acupuncture place in your town ... check it out:) Best wishes!!

I have been trying the ice, but I don't think it is working. I would totally try accupuncture, but there isn't time now. :( Maybe I will try the icepacks in a pool. (my bathtub isn't big enough!) I will update on the results on Monday!
