If you've been following the news lately at all, you've probably heard of both the SOPA/PIPA acts against copyrights infringement, and the arrest of Megaupload Why MegaUpload, And Who's Next? Why MegaUpload, And Who's Next? In the middle of some very aggressive anti-SOPA/PIPA protests, the feds managed to prove that they don't need to pass such a bill to pull the plug on a certain internet website. The casualty this... Read More 's founder, Kim Dotcom. You don't have to be a file sharing enthusiast for these things to affect you (especially SOPA and PIPA), and while I am hardly an enthusiast myself, it's hard to ignore the obvious connection between these events, and the obvious conclusion we should all be reaching (especially the large media companies).
Before Kim Dotcom's much-talked-about arrest, I had no idea how much money was involved in file sharing. According to some reports, Dotcom has earned over $42 million in 2010 alone, all from his network of Mega sites, including sharks like Megavideo. That's $42 million that this guy supposedly stole from the true owners of these materials. The total lost revenue for these companies is even more jaw-dropping, estimated at around $500 million. It's not that Dotcom didn't steal this money, he did. But was there an alternative?
Where Is This Money Coming From?
Megaupload is by far not the only file sharing service out there, although it was definitely one of the more successful ones. The Mega sites offered users the ability to upload and download files freely, and even stream unlimited content, all for clicking a few ads, and maybe a small subscription fee.
And people did it. Lots of people did it, and continue to do it using other websites. On Usenet, you can download all the files your heart desires for approximately $10 a month. And people do this too. There are millions, if not billions of dollars exchanging hands, all because people want to be able to share content and have access to content without limitations. People will pay $200 for a lifetime membership, or a nice monthly fee, just for that. They don't even mind clicking a few ads along the way. It's the content that matters.
In short, a lot of this money is coming from users, like you and me, who want something very simple. And that is by no way free content, since it's obvious they don't mind paying for it.
Where Is This Money NOT Going?
That's an easy one. A lot of this money is NOT going to the actual copyrights holders. And why is that? Is it because people don't want to pay for content? Is it because most people would rather pirate their content than pay for it fair and square? Well, that's definitely what the guys pushing SOPA want us to believe, but I don't think it's true.
If you live in the US, or some countries in Europe, you may have some legal ways to access music, movies and TV shows. Services like Spotify or Netflix are highly popular (despite Netflix's troubles as of late), and guess what, they're not free. Many people gladly pay these monthly fees to have access to all that content, the money goes to whoever it's supposed to go to, and everyone is happy. Well, almost.
The way copyrights work, and this has been the case for a very long time, is that each country has its own copyrights holders. Because of that, where I live, there is no Spotify, no Netflix, no Pandora, there's barely even stuff to be bought from iTunes and Amazon (media-wise). So what am I to do? Pay for a VPN and fake my IP, or pay the same amount or less for a service that lets me download all the content I want? Either way, I'm doing something illegal.
Why SOPA Will Fail
There's a lot of protest against SOPA Sites Go Down To Protest SOPA/PIPA, You Can Join The Protest [News] Sites Go Down To Protest SOPA/PIPA, You Can Join The Protest [News] If you visit any tech news sites, you might have heard about a pair of bills proposed in the United States called the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA). These... Read More . It's been said that they're going to censure the Internet, to put a muzzle on free sharing, and lots of other things. The truth is, SOPA is the result of people who are too scared to open their eyes and see that a new reality has been formed. They've been scared for quite a while, and the longer they ignore it, the harder it is to admit they're wrong.
SOPA will not fail because people don't want to pay for content. It will not fail because people prefer stealing over buying legally. It will not fail because we're all a bunch of rebels who will do everything to fight the big companies. It will fail because we're not. And they don't want to see that. It's much easier to think we're all evil and need to be limited and restricted in order for us not to steal.
They'd much rather spend millions fighting and restricting, than acknowledge the simple fact that most of us want to pay. Give us a simple, fair way to download legal content around the world, and most of us will do it. Make it easy, let us share things (legally), and we'll do it. Do they really expect us to keep buying DVDs and CDs, just because that's the old way they like? Does the fact I don't want to buy those mean I would prefer stealing?
As we've seen from recent events, the money is there to be had. The users are willing to pay. Now all that's missing, is for the media companies to want our money enough to take it.
Will you buy content legally if it were possible and easy? Do you think most people would actually prefer stealing anyway? Let the opinions flow!

Merchandise inventory consists of all the products that a business sells to make profit. An inventory can include thousands of different items. Each item must be given a name, selling price and cost. Every item must be accurately counted, and any changes in quantity due to deliveries or sales must be immediately recorded. It's time-consuming and costly to manually type the stock number and price of each item. And human error can lead to mistakes. Use a barcode system to speed up inventory accounting and increase your income.
Things You'll Need
- POS software program
- Barcode scanner
- Computer
Install a Point of Sale software program on your computer. POS software records all transactions that affect the value and volume of your inventory. POS is generally used by grocery stores and supermarkets in checkout counters to record all items sold to a customer and to issue the corresponding receipt. A retail POS system typically includes a computer, monitor, cash drawer, receipt printer and barcode scanner.
Get a barcode scanner and plug it into the corresponding port at the back of your computer. Use a Y-key dual-keyboard adapter if you have a keyboard-type plug at the end of the scanner cable. It will allow you to plug the keyboard and the scanner into the same port.
Read and study how to enter data into your POS sotware program. Your POS program, once installed, will be blank. It will not contain product names, short descriptions, beginning quantity, price or item costs in your inventory. This data and each product's barcode number must be entered manually and individually into your POS program. Each POS program has its own set of data-entry instructions.
Open the POS program. Locate the windows where you can enter the initial stock records and type in the product name, short description, weight or volume, selling price, cost and barcode number. Use the barcode scanner when you enter the barcode number, to avoid keying in all the numbers or typing errors. The barcode number acts as your product's stock-keeping unit (SKU), and will contain all its information.
Open the menu bar of your POS program and navigate to the window where it shows you the "Inventory List," a list of all the products you entered and their corresponding quantity, cost and selling price. Check each item until you are sure that the list does not contain any errors. Edit or correct errors in the "Product Edit" option of your POS.
Go to the sales screen of your POS and aim it toward the barcode of any item in your inventory. Press the push-button switch to scan the item. Look at your POS sales screen and check the barcode number, product name, short description, weight or volume, quantity on hand and selling price. This information should instantly be available onscreen once you scan and read the barcode of an inventory item. The barcode facilitates the data entry and retrieval.
Set up your computer, barcode scanner, monitor and receipt printer at your store's checkout counter. Enter any transaction into your POS program that involves any addition (delivery, sales return) or deduction (sales, theft, expired items). Use the barcode scanner to identify each product.

Following a recent PR event where members of the press were driven into the woods in the middle of the night, ambushed by knife wielding maniacs driven by dark forces and chased until a flare drove off our pursuers, we got chance to speak to Oskari Hakkinen, Head of Franchise Development at Remedy Entertainment, about Alan Wake.
First of all, how did you find the Punchdrunk experience? Did their take on the game's 'dark presence' and the feel of pursuit capture the feeling of Alan Wake at all?
I've heard there were three or four different experiences here tonight and the experience I had in going outside was a fantastic experience of what AW's about; coming through the woods with flashlights or the psychological moments with the actors.
They really got the pacing right by calming us down before building up the actual event with music, the soundscape and then the lighting outside and so on.
It did capture a piece of what AW is about but the game is so much more, a much longer entity. We've really paced out the action from start to finish making the whole experience a rollercoaster of emotions; tonight's performance was more like a small snippet of what you might expect from the game itself.
We've heard that AW will feature an adaptive difficulty which will change to meet the player's ability, what's the thinking behind that?
It's a dynamic difficulty system where parameters are set by the game's engine itself, everything's under the hood. If you're playing exceptionally well, if you're getting headshots or utilising the light sources within the world particularly it can determine the difficulty on the fly.
We realised it's not a fun experience to die, if you can't get past a scene it isn't fun to keep having to replay the same scene over and over. People do get stuck, some gamers will suss out certain scenes right away while they might have trouble elsewhere. When you get to those occasions the dynamic difficulty will adjust to suit or if you're doing well it will really pump it [the difficulty] up.
Bright Falls has been described as a town reminiscent of Twin Peaks, where else have you drawn your inspiration from during the creative process?
The range of inspirations are huge, we haven't limited ourselves to any one thing specifically. There's certainly an echo of Twin Peaks and the setting is a big part of the game, we also reference the works of Stephen King a lot, simply because Alan Wake himself is a writer whose writing is now coming true.
But it goes so much deeper than that, from locations, to characters, to story elements and even from technical perspectives. We've looked into to, for example, how Alfred Hitchcock utilised the cameras into certain movies as well. We wanted to capture those 'thriller-esque' moments where it's the hunter and the hunted.
You might have an enemy attacking you from behind [for example]. As the player you don't know the enemy is there, so we use a classic thriller technique by panning the camera back. The camera might be in a flock of birds as they're attacking you, you're still in control of the player but the perspective gives you the chance to react; your heart really beats in those moments.
So we've heard that AW will be based around episodes, how will that work within the game?
We looked into so many types of popular culture, movies and TV shows. For example we've referenced Lost a lot, not from the plot perspective but as a guide to the format of a tightly paced thriller.
AW will be broken down into episodes much like a TV series, each episode will start with a 'previously on' and give you a short recap of what you've played already for example. We think we're on to a concept which really works in videogames, it allows us to control the pacing – each episode has its own story arc and within that arc we can hit difference peaks and even leave it on a cliff-hanger.
We can give an emotional experience within each episode, whereas in a videogame which doesn't have that structure it has to have that 'start to end' storyline which once it peaks you can only really go down from there.

Justice Alam asks for greater use of forensic evidence
Patna: Praising the use of forensic evidence in resolving the 26/11 Mumbai attack case, Supreme Court judge Justice Aftab Alam on Friday asked the police to pursue scientific methods of collecting evidence in addition to ocular evidence.
"We have seen the wonders of forensic evidences in the trial of 26/11 case," Justice Alam told the concluding session of the three-day 43rd Police Science Congress here.
Ballistic evidence collected from the CST Mumbai where Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab had opened fire with an AK47, had helped in "precisely" establishing the case, he said.
There was no ocular evidence to establish that the attackers had come to Mumbai by ferry, but the matching of DNA samples collected from a jacket left on MV Kuber and the monkey cap of Kasab unravelled the mystery, he said at the congress, which was attended by policemen from across the country.
Forensic analysis of articles collected from the attackers proved vital in solving the Mumbai terror attack case, Alam said.
"Resources are available in the country, which the police could use in faster resolution of blind cases," he added.
Stressing on timely completion of cases by the police, he said "If an IO (investigating officer) fails to complete investigation in 60 to 90 days, accountability should be fixed on the policeman concerned."
He asked the policemen not to pay allegiance to political power, but to the Constitution and democratic values.
"If it happens, it will be a great day for the police and the police system," he added.

Teletext shuts down a month early
Teletext has been facing execution for quite some time. Originally planned to be phased out around the time of the digital TV switchover in 2012, the service's shutdown was brought forward back in July to January 2010. But now, it seems that the plug has been pulled extra-early.
The Daily Mail and General Trust group says that the shut-off date has been hastened as CEO Richard Titus hunted for cost-cutting opportunities over the last few months. The bits of Teletext that make money - the holidays, cars, racing, games and ringtone flogging pages - will stay live.
The company pinned the blame for the shutdown on: "the continued fragmentation of television audiences and the growth in the use of the Internet has resulted in a significant reduction in the audience and volume of commercial activity generated by the television services".
One Teletext fan we spoke to told Pocket-lint: "Teletext was a good, constant, reliable, friendly place. Its music coverage was years ahead of the internet in that it was updated daily - far better than the music papers. It also took advantage of user-generated content before anyone else, relying on a very small number of full-time staff".

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology | Year: 2015
Background: Notification of sugammadex has been supplemented with a section on hemostasis, including a longer clotting time in the first minutes following injection, without any documented clinical consequences. The objective of this observational study was to analyze the effects of sugammadex administration on routine coagulation tests and bleeding in the clinical setting. Methods: After Institutional Review Board approval, a prospective observational study was conducted between January and December 2011. Adult patients scheduled for laparotomies were analyzed in groups according to the type of reversal (without sugammadex versus 2 or 4 mg/kg sugammadex). There were no changes in our current clinical practice. Blood samples drawn from these patients were standardized at the same time and tested using the same daily calibrated machine. The endpoint was a comparison of the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), prothrombin time (PT), hemoglobin (Hb) level and hematocrit (Ht), immediately before sugammadex administration (H0) and 1 h after neuromuscular block reversal (H1). Results: One hundred and forty-two patients in three groups were included as follows: 11 in the "without sugammadex" group, 64 in the "2 mg/kg sugammadex" group and 67 in the "4 mg/kg sugammadex" group. Results did not differ significantly among the groups. Conclusions: In this prospective observational study, the use of 2 and 4 mg/kg sugammadex was not associated with a longer clotting time or decreased hemoglobin concentrations. Future prospective investigations should study patients receiving 16 mg/kg sugammadex and/or with abnormal coagulation tests. © the Korean Society of Anesthesiologists, 2015. Source

Nintendo reveals new motion control fighting game Arms, due for Spring release
Nintendo introduced a new fsports fighting game during its Nintendo Switch presentation tonight. The unique game, only called Arms, is exactly what it sounds like.
Arms uses the Joy-Pad's unique hyper-sensitive motion controls to create the feeling of extending arms in a boxing match. With the simple controls, anyone can pick-up and play the game, but Nintendo also touts hidden depth and strategies. The game will allow for team battles and eventually online battles.
Arms, the extendable arm-fight game, will launch in Spring 2017 for the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo did not state it would be available at the Nintend Switch's launch.

Not one time in five yrs. did I win a court matter in my divorce and alimony case with Mary Socha as my atty. She charged me $250.00 per hour and was out maneuvered by a court appointed lawyer. she would call me to see if I had any new info on my case instead of the other way around. Biggest mistake I made was hiring Mary to represent me in my divorce. there's nothing but a mess with my case. I don't believe she works as hard for men as she does for women.
Posted by Chet
Attorney Socha has help myself and my children children through one of the toughest times in a parents life. A divorce and Adoption. My daughter after reaching the age of 18 wanted to adopt her new mom and Mary helped to make it a happy event in a area of law that sees so few Happy days. Thank you to Mary and her staff for the great work they do with the focus on the kids who are the real victims in a divorce.
Posted by Donna
I feel compelled to share my comments on my numerous experiences over the years with local Mary Socha.
Attorney Socha has aptly represented my legal interest in Massachusetts with the utmost concern and due diligence. Her advice has always been impartial. This has enabled me to consistently make informed legal decisions that have always been in my best interests.Mrs Socha has never pandered a response to a legal queston.I may not have liked her responses,but because of this integrity she has earned my respect.
Attorney Socha professionalism,legal acumen and personal concern with that which is fair and just certainly places her ahead of many in her profession. Her courtroom demeanor and understanding of the law and the prpose of the judicial system is beyond reproach.Put simply, Attorney Socha is an admirable and very capable legal representative who enters a courtroom with the intent of doing what is right on behalf of her clients.
Posted by Robert
When evaluating an attorney to vigorously advocate on your behalf during a divorce and custody case you need to have an attorney experienced in family law and also have an intimate knowledge of judges and how they will adjudicate family law cases and lawyers on the other side of the case. Mary Socha met and exceeded all of my expectations. Because of her, I was awarded full custody of my son and was the first man my particular judge ever awarded custody to.
I owe a lot to Mary and forever in her debt. She is a wonderful, compassionate, effective and experienced attorney.
Posted by Carolynn
Mary Socha has been my family lawyer for over 15 yrs, always available,dependable/honest/fair*i have sent many clients to her/all have nothing but praise*I will continue to hire her for any legal problems in my future with no hesitation

My father had recently taken ill and we needed may documents updated, his lawyer was long retired. Mary not only did a great job but came to the nursing home and house to complete all documents. We are very grateful to have one less worry.
Posted by Dave
I don't know what I would have done without her . She was a blessing from God .She was always there for me . Other Lawyers would charged extra money for all the time she gave me. All the times that I just dropped in . she was there for me . Mary is a person with high morals . A hard worker who really cares about you. Whatever you need from me to help . let me know.
It is a honor to be represented by Mary .
Posted by Liliya
Hi, two years ago att.Mary Sochas helped me to get a divorce-i wanted to make it peaceful and fair-she listened and gave best advices.she is inexpensive and gave me huge discount because she cares.i recently recommended one girl to her and she happy the way things are getting done.
Posted by Neil
Mary represented me for over two years and could not reccomend a more professional attorney. She was absolutely amazing in court, and she really helped in every aspect in relation to what the possible outcomes might be. Do not hesitate to hire Mary because she changed my life for the better forever!
Posted by Professional in Western MA and Grateful Custodial Father.
I am taking the time out of a very busy work day to make comment on Attorney Mary Socha both as a professional and as a person who has made the difference in the lives of my family.
Attorney Socha agreed to work as my Divorce Attorney back in the late 1990's, knowing up front that we had very little money to pay for services necessary. The custody of my two children (ages 2 and 3 at the time) was a highly contested issue. The case has recently come to a close as the children are now of age.
For the first 10 years, Attorney Socha worked consistently with us to have the children returned back to the United States after being kidnapped and into the arms of a loving family. It was found that children had been abused, medically neglected and made fearful of their own family, the court and their phycologists by a dangerously incidious birth mother. My X-wife, threatened Social Workers, sued mental health professionals, and even went as far as demanding foreign language interpreters to confuse the court when she could speak perfect English.
Thru these 15 years, my X went thru 6 different Lawyers in the entire process while Attorney Socha stayed true to her commitment to help me and the children find peace.
There may be times when Attorney Socha may not agree with her clients perspective on an issue, but I can assure you...her advice ALWAYS pans out to be the best for the case. Attorney Mary Socha is an example of what a Professional, Hard Working, Hands-On Grass-Roots Lawyer who takes her profession with great honor. She is the farthest thing from the typical self-indulgent manipulative attorney who have given U.S.Justice a bad name.
I highly recommend Attorney Socha to anyone who needs a professional with compassion, patience, and the respect of her peers and the court.

So I'm supposed to write an "MLS Preview" in this space today.
When I asked if they were serious, if I really had to do this, Huss replied: "Just mention MLS in your first sentence so it rings like a preview".
Unfortunately, I'm reasonably certain that he was kidding. Otherwise, I'd be done already and would now be writing about how it is that Jack Warner, a retired school teacher, has an estimated net worth of US$ 50 million.
It's not that I mind making up a bunch of nonsense out of thin air. If you've been paying any kind of attention at all, then you know that's what I do here most of the time anyway.
It's just that everybody who writes about soccer is doing the exact same thing this week. From the well known guys that everybody reads down to the guys who toil away on some personal blog not another living soul has ever read, the US internet landscape is awash this week in "MLS Season Preview" posts.
So then you write a little blurb about each team which usually ends up something like this:
The Moosedogs' draft picks look like instant superstars, their aged returnees have suddenly "found new life", the journeyman head case who's on his fifth team in three years has suddenly "matured" and "found himself" and if no one at all gets even slightly injured then "this could be their year".
In fact, if all the other players in the division break a leg the Moosedogs could finish as high as second.
Rinse. Repeat six or eight times. Predict it will all come down to Houston and DC with a nod towards New England, and then call it a day.
Of course if you were being honest you'd write:
The Moosedogs, a perpetual boil on the league's ass, is a team owned by a brainless yuppie cheapskate, coached by a moron who can't find his ass with both hands and whose best player is 40 years old and coming off of his fifth total knee reconstruction.
Their draft choices were absurd, their keeper has the reflexes of a bag of dirt and the only decent player they had fled to Norway to preserve his sanity. The sole reason they won't finish eighth is because there are only seven teams in the division.
But nobody wants to hear that, do they? This is the season of Hope, Faith and Self Delusion:
Your favorite team has yet to cough up a lead in the final ten minutes. At home. For the third game in a row. Your best forward, the guy who can't get out of bed without pulling a hamstring, is still walking around without an air cast. The brilliant looking rookie who tore up NCAA Division I last year has yet to demonstrate, for the millionth time, that college prowess means nothing whatsoever. That really, really fast guy you traded for has yet to put the first of 100 wide-open shots 20 feet over the bar.
Nevertheless, all of that aside, I proudly present, for the three or four of you who are still reading this (thanks Mom!) my 2008 MLS Preview:
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this team could very easily be the worst side MLS has ever seen. I've always liked Yallop, who would likely be the winningest coach in MLS history if he hadn't decided to go to work for the CSA, and he's got some nice parts here and there, but they aren't going far playing for thirty 0 - 0 draws.
Odds of Winning it All: A million to one.
Apparently Mo Johnston thought that last season was a freak occurrence, and he's decided to try one more season with the same bunch of guys that stunk up the league last year. What's more, he's brought in a coach with exactly no MLS experience of any kind to run them out there. Fortunately, their fans - like a guy whose girlfriend has three eyes - are still so deliriously in love with this team that they haven't noticed.
Odds of Winning it All: 500-1
Yeah, I know. Jason Kreis has now had a whole off season to make this team his own, to mold them and shape them and teach them how to win. Unfortunately, a fighting spirit and a never-say-die attitude are not substitutes for actual talent, and RSL is still a little short in that department. This isn't a team that needs a couple spare parts, it's a team that needs to be blown up. Maybe next year.
Odds of Winning it All: 200-1
We've got glitz! We've got glamour! Did I mention the glitz? I did? Oh. When in the name of Jesus, Joseph and Mary is AEG going to show Panayotis Lalas the door? How many teams does he get to trash before Tim Lieuweke slaps himself on the forehead and says "Hey! This guy is an idiot!" The funny thing is that it wouldn't really take all that much to turn this team into a playoff contender, but Lalas isn't a guy who can pull it off.
Odds of Winning it All: 200-1
I'm sorry, but I'm just not convinced. Oh, they rearranged the furniture big time out there, but I'm not convinced that it's going to make much difference, for two reasons: first, while Gomez was a terrific player surrounded by the kind of talent DC has, I don't see him carrying a team around on his back. Second, because Fernando Clavijo is still in charge, and he has yet to prove that he's much more than a snappy dresser.
Odds of Winning it All: 150-1
There's not really much to say about Dallas. Their biggest asset is that they play in the western conference, so they could make the playoffs despite being pretty mediocre. FCBurn has shown a penchant for midseason pickups of players well past their sell-by date (see Hislop, Shaka and Denilson, er, well just Denilson) so maybe there's an achy, arthritic hitter out there someplace who thinks the idea of spending the summer in a blast furnace like Dallas sounds like a grand notion. It's not much to hope for, but when your best player is a plodder like Kenny Cooper, hope isn't a word that comes to mind right away.
Odds of Winning it All: 100-1
Some of you will recall the Great Dallas Fan Flush when the Burn, a team with a reasonably decent fan base, told their customersl to go to hell and moved to Dragon Stadium, where they stayed away in droves. Well, KC is working on topping it this season, moving the Wizards twenty-some miles to an out-of-state low-minors baseball stadium. ("Home of the T-Bones"). On the other hand, who needs fans? Anyway, out there beyond second base someplace will be Claudio Lopez, whose job is simply to be great. If he's not, that last playoff spot KC slipped into last season will be a distant memory. Just like their fanbase.
Odds of Winning it All: 100-1
Sigi Schmid was hired in 2006 to improve on Greg Andrulis' 11-16-5 record. In two seasons in Columbus, he's never won more than 9 games. Look no further for the hottest coaching seat in the league: the fans aren't getting restless, they're getting homicidal. In truth, this looks to be a better team than the one that missed the playoffs (again) last year. The back line is, as usual, pretty solid. Nobody ever said the fat guy doesn't know defense. But if Barros-Schelotto can't conjure up a way to manufacture some goals via his surrounding cast of youngsters and journeymen, Robert Warzycha will be the HC in CBus by August 1.
Odds of Winning it All: 100-1
In team sports, you only get so many shots at the gold ring before you fall back into the pack. Welcome to the pack, Steve Nicol. The hard cold fact is that you can't keep bleeding good solid contributors year after year and continue to stay on top. The Revs do still have some players: although Ralston is getting a little long in the tooth he's got some miles left and Parkhurst is maybe the best defender in the league, but this used to be a team with stars all over the pitch, and you can't replace guys like Dempsey, Noonan and Dorman with Mauricio Castro. Just ain't how it works.
Odds of Winning it All: Longer than Revs fans are likely to admit.
If there's a coach you really have to root for it's Denis Hamlett. The guy has paid some serious dues and has earned his shot in the big chair like maybe nobody else in MLS history. And with apologies to Sir David of the Left Coast, nobody has come into the league and had a more explosive impact than Blanco, who startled everyone by actually taking it seriously. Turns out nobody told him this was supposed to be a retirement village; he came to play and he apparently only knows one way to do it. If Frankowski can become a major contributor, this is a side which can make a serious run.
Odds of Winning it All: 25-1
The hardest thing to do in all of sports is to tear down a team which is really, really good but can't seem to close the deal. When you come so close, the temptation is to tinker a bit around the edges and see if you can't nudge them across the finish line. But Kevin Payne has never been a conservative GM, and salary cap issues aside he chose to roll the dice. Now it's up to Tom Soehn to put the pieces together and get this side over the hump, a job he's more than up to. But overhauls like this are tricky and only time will tell. Suffice it to say that while they do have some question marks, betting against them could be a serious mistake.
Odds of Winning it All: Better than the rest of the league is comfortable with.
I wish the league would put these guys in the East for a season and we'd see how good they really are. One suspects that after a couple rounds of home-and-home with DC, New York, Chicago the Revs and Columbus (who may not beat you but who will beat you up) they'd be three deep at the trainer's table, pining for a nice, comfy swing through the West Coast. As it is, this has all the earmarks of a side that is past it's prime. Maybe I'm the only one, but I recall that this was a team that couldn't find the goal with a map and a team of bloodhounds last year until the midseason trade for Jar-Jar Ngwenya, who's now plying his trade in Scandinavia. This is a team which has always leaned on it's defense to win, but this season it may not be enough.
Odds of Making the Finals: 20-1 in the West, 200-1 in the East
Maybe it seems odd to find NYRB ranked this high. That's because it IS odd for NYRB to be ranked this high. But this is a solid team front-to-back, with some stars and some excellent role players who will clearly understand those roles playing under a guy like Osorio and behind one of the best pairs of strike partners MLS has ever seen. They were very unlucky - or perhaps cursed is a better word - not to find themselves in the final last year, and with the depth they've added it's hard to see who can keep them out this time around.
Odds of Winning it All: 5-1 thereby really pissing off Chicago
The other team that should have been in the final last year was Chivas. Instead we were treated to watching the Revs once again serving as Houston's prison girlfriend. But make no mistake: these guys were the class of the league last year, and look even stronger in 2008. They can score, they can defend, they now have real depth and, in Preki, they have the perfect coach for the "nobody loves us and we like it that way". chip-on-the-shoulder style which suits this group to a T.
Odds of Winning it All: 3-1 and if you don't believe it, they'll kick your ass.
Now about that $50 million........

RECORD HEAT continues to plague parts of the U.S. - This summer is setting records for heat and drought in the west, southwest and southeastern United States. Charlotte, North Carolina, is about to set a record for most consecutive days in one year with high temperatures over 90 degrees. The west has seen severe heat for months. In California, Palm Springs has seen brutal temperatures hovering near 115-degrees, while in Arizona it's been 110-degrees or hotter for 29 straight days, a new record. Severe drought conditions are drying up lakes, lawns and fields. Farmers are fighting to save crops and cattle in some of the driest areas. In North Carolina there is a "hay emergency," continuing what has been a rough go for several seasons now. "We've had a late freeze that damaged crops in North Carolina, and then we've had a drought that has been very severe, but then couple that with probably the hottest August temperatures that have ever been recorded on record. We've had our three strikes but we're still fighting." Smaller crops and the extra cost for farmers to deal with the conditions will surely mean higher market prices in the fall.
ALGERIA is facing an UNPRECEDENTED heat wave resulting in forest fires that are being felt across the entire northern regions. In the Tizi Ouzou province in the central northeast of the country at least four people died from severe burns. The temperature in Algiers reached the 110 Fahrenheit or 42 Celsius, pushing power consumption to peak levels on August 28th. Firefighters are battling fires on 28 fronts; a battle that appears difficult to win. 36 fires are currently destroying forests in Annaba, Guelma and El Tarf. In all, 74 fires have been active over the past couple of days in 19 provinces, affecting 21,000 hectares of land (52,000 acres). Since the beginning of summer, 1,204 fires have been registered, making 2007 the busiest season for Algerian firefighters.

Sale of NRET power system outputs 1.Renewable Energy Sales Agreement ( RESA) between NorthWind Power Development Corporation ( NPDC) and Ilocos Norte Electric Cooperative ( INEC ) and hopefully via the spot market/WESM. 2.Electricity output of Cagayan Electric Power and Light Company ( CEPALCO ) is fully consumed internally hence no external sales. 3.Electricity output of Montalban Methane Power Corporation ( MMPC ) is sold to major utility ( Manila Electric Company - a sister company of MMPC) and hopefully via spot market/WESM.
Price of NRET-based electricity 1.NPDC energy sales/cost to INEC is benchmarked against NPC rate ( i. e., 7 per cent discount ) – and the 7 percent discount is directly passed on to end users bill 2.CEPALCO PV power is used internally and cost is tied in to company's internal power generation costs related to hydro project 3.MMPC electricity output is sold to MERALCO ( a sister company ) and hopefully to thru the spot market (WESM).
Some concerns and NRET power sales 1.Some conflict and concerns between GENCO- Distributor's sales contract ( RESA, Off-take, power purchase agreement, etc. ). Legal case now exists between NPDC and INEC and ERC adjudication underway. 2.Income from carbon sales undiscussed in generation cost determination
Carbon Sales Credit 1.NPDC carbon generation of 65 tonnes equivalent per year ( Estimated value: US$ 65,000 per year ) 2.CEPALCO carbon generation of 10,000 throughout its project life ( Estimated value: US$ 10,000 ) 3.MMPC carbon generation of 500,000 tonnes equivalent ( Estimated value: US$ 5 million )
Financial support schemes 1.Available financial support and assistance from Government Financial Institutions ( GFIs) 2.Availability of support funds from foreign multilateral sources ( e. g., GEF, IFC, DANIDA, etc.) 3.Availability of loan portfolio from commercial banking sources 4.Available funding sources from internal (corporate ) sources 5.Existence of investment bankers who arrange/package new and innovative commercial ventures
Success factors for NRETs in the Philippines 1.Available natural resources ( e. g., solar/wind/biomass) 2.Government policy pronouncements and incentive support schemes (e. g., privatization of the power sector ) 3.Existence of laws that,motivates and induce investments in NRET-based power generation system 4.Availability of foreign/local financing schemes (e. g., DBP, LBP, WB/IFC, DANIDA, etc.) 5.Existence of guaranteed or captive markets 6.Support of local government units. 7.Advocacy support from private sector groups and NGOs ( WWF, Church, etc. ) 8.External inducements/incentives to venture into NRETs (e. g., Kyoto Protocol and carbon market ) 9.Existence of mature and commercially available NRETs 10. Willing local/foreign investors and concerned entrepreneurs
