I usually do not write a blog reacting to real-time news. I leave that to other bloggers, such as Katie Fehrenbacher who covers those pretty well. I usually write a blog when the subject matter comes to cross my path. I cover the story in the intersection of where IT meets energy and express my opinion. The data center segment is one of such a good example, as well as smart grid.
When eBay released the information on their new data center (after their Mercury project in Phoenix) in Utah in June, media jumped on it and reported intensively. In addition to the US data center market, I have covered the data center market in Japan, which is seldom reported in the US media. (I set up a session and acted as MC to discuss Japanese data centers in the recent Silicon Valley Leadership Group 5th Data Center Energy Summit. But that is another story.) This is partly because of the Japanese media and data center players in Japan only report their news in Japanese. Unfortunately, the Japanese language is not spoken outside of Japan and the foreign media is hungry for information but has no use with the news reported in Japanese. So I have been encouraging Japan Data Center Council (JDCC), a consortium of data center operators, vendors and users, to make their information available in the US.
Most of major Japanese data centers were not damaged by the earthquake in 2011 but after that, Japan's power supply climate got cloudy as it does not have a solid plan as to what to do with the halted (except 2 of 50) nuclear reactors and hunting for new energy sources. As such, Japanese data center operators are searching for new power sources. I brought fuel cells to their attention as a potential energy source for data centers. Fuel cells that were dismissed as experimental a few years ago are now gaining some good tractions among data center operators, thanks to eBay, Google and Apple for their use at data centers. JDCC wants to find more about the appropriateness of the fuel cells for data centers. I made an arrangement for them to visit eBay to find out and to find out how my friend Jeremy Rodriguez was doing with his new role.
The following is a summary of our conversations with Jeremy and his associate Serena DeVito, and the information that is publicly available.
From left: Jun Sato (Mitsubishi), Dai Tojima (NEC), Serena DeVito, Jeremy Rodriguez and Hideki Okita (Hitachi)
eBay's data center in Utah is the latest one after the one in Phoenix (Mercury project). There are two phases of the construction. The first phase is called Topaz and it has conventional configurations, such as power supplied by local utilities with a 30 MW substation on their premise, UPS boxes and diesel generators. Quicksilver, the second phase, which is attached to Topaz, was to be constructed with the same conventional way. But they decided to try something new. Instead of laying out rows of UPS boxes inside and generators outside, eBay decided to install Bloom Energy Servers. The next two figures indicate two configurations, conventional (UPS boxes and generators) and new (fuel cells) ones

eBay plans to install 30 fuel cells from Bloom energy. A fuel cell unit produces electricity through a chemical reaction fueled by either natural gas or biogas. For the Quicksilver project eBay will be purchasing biogas, however because biogas isn't available to the site they will install pipe infrastructure and consume natural gas from the utility grid.
The Bloom Energy Servers (fuel cells) are not the only greener energy option eBay is pursuing in Utah. When they originally looked at sourcing third party, off-site renewables for the Topaz data center, they found that the law in the State of Utah would not allow it. They worked with a Utah state senator to pass a bill in 2012 that changed this law, and are now in the process of accepting proposals for as much as 20 MW of additional renewable energy. Also, with the fuel cell installation, UPS boxes or generators were no longer necessary and space was released for Bloom Energy Servers that took much smaller space. Smaller footprints and less or no CO2 emissions sound pretty good.
As for the power requirements at the Utah data center, 30 200kW (total of 6MW) Bloom Energy Servers will be installed with the capability to install up to 30MW total in the future. While the power load to Quicksilver ramps up, any excess from the 6MW will be used to power the existing Topaz facility. As eBay plans to expand the data center, it probably requires more than 6MW. Because each Bloom Energy Server is 200kW in power capacity, they can add as many boxes as they need according to varying needs.
So far so good. Advantages seem to be very convincing:
- Cleaner power
- Local generation with less delivery losses
- Smaller footprints
However, I had a six million dollar question. Data center operators are very conservative and do not want to use any unproven technologies unless they have been proven to work by many practitioners for many years. The idea to source power from Bloom Energy Servers with the grid as a backup is a total reverse of the traditional design. On a casual look, this may look reckless but I think they took a calculated risk. I understand the final decision of going with this design was made by CEO. If everyone is risk averse, nothing gets improved. I have met and talked to Dean Nelson who is in charge of data center design/construction/operations at eBay and who can make a bold decision with a solid team of people under him like Jeremy and Serena. eBay, along with the likes of Apple and Google, is doing a great service to the entire data center industry to open up a new frontier. Do you recommend this solution to JDCC member companies? Come back in 18 months and ask the question. That was their answer.
After the meeting at a coffee shop, the members of JDCC and I were sharing the excitement from the meeting. Someone said that the solution is only viable where a lot of open space is available. But even in the urban setting, UPS boxes and a diesel generator occupy some space in the building. If they can be replaced with fuel cell boxes that are smaller in size, this could be a viable solution. Well, I cannot wait 18 months for eBay's answer!

Spell A DayLove Yourself SpellSpell Date: Friday, February 1, 2013
Color of the day: White
Incense of the day: Alder
Like many people, you probably don't take time for yourself.
We've reached the middle of another cold winter, and since this is a Venus day it's time to love yourself for a change, and this spell will help. Run a luxurious bath for yourself using a soothing body wash - vanila, rose, or gardenia are good choices. Light pink or white votive candles. Ease into the tub and visualize every care leaving your body, being cleared away by the water. Later, as the water drains, "see" your worries and concerns going down the drain, too. Dry off, use your favorite moisturizing body lotion, and wrap yourself in a favorite bathrobe. Feel the Goddess surrounding you; she wants you to take care of yourself. Then brew a cup of herbal tea, such as almond or lemon/rose. Sip slowly. Love yourself for a change-you deserve it!

Nashville, Tenn. May 24, 2011… The RIAA Gold certified Awake continues to garner recognition for the GRAMMY® nominated Skillet as they were honored with their first Billboard Music Award Sunday night for "Top Christian Album." The 2011 Billboard Music Awards were televised live from Las Vegas, Sunday, March 22nd on ABC.
In addition, the band has landed a coveted spot on the upcoming TRANSFORMERS 3 DARK OF THE MOON Soundtrack (June 14). More details about the soundtrack will be announced soon. [**Apparently it's "Alive & Awake (Remix)" -- JFH**]
Along with Awake being certified gold in just 10 months (with scans currently approaching 750,000), the record thus far has boasted three active rock hits, including their first No. 1 at mainstream active rock with "Awake & Alive," and was Billboard's No. 2 "Top Christian Album" and No. 9 "Top Alternative Album" of 2010. After an incredible 90 weeks of release Awake continues to be a top seller, placing top 5 on the Current Contemporary Christian SoundScan chart last week as well as holding steadfast on the Billboard Top 200.
Named one of the top 5 " Hardest Working Bands of 2010" on the popular concert site Songkick, Skillet unveiled a massive new production set at this weekend's Beach Blast 2011 in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The band who is known for their explosive live performance will be touring most of the summer including headlining all major festivals. For the most up to date schedule, visit http://www.skillet.com/event/.

Skillet's latest, Awake (Atlantic/Ardent/INO), continues to propel the incredible momentum the rock outfit has going for them, receiving RIAA Gold certification in just 10 months (half the time of the gold selling Comatose), along with their hit Active Rock and Christian Rock Single, "Monster" also receiving the same honor. Awake hit the ground running with a blockbuster debut at No. 2 on Billboard's "Top 200," selling over 67,000 units and peaking at No. 1 on iTunes ® "Top Albums" chart and "Top Rock" chart. The project has not slowed down in nearly two years, being named Billboard's No. 2 "Top Christian Album" and No. 9 "Top Alternative Album" of 2010. Awake boasts three Active Rock hits "Monster," which was also AOL Music's No. 4 "Mainstream Rock Song of 2009," the No. 1 Christian CHR & Rock single, "Hero," which has been used by the NFL in their Sunday Night Football and NFL Weekend Kickoff promos, and their latest No. 1 hit and crowd favorite "Awake & Alive."
Skillet's live show has brought down the house with their powerful and intense performance from coast to coast, consistently ranking within Pollstar's Concert Pulse "Top 50 Tours." Having toured with the likes of mainstream megastars Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Shinedown and more, Skillet has also co-headlined with Papa Roach, and headlined a slew of major Christian festivals - always leaving their fans wanting more. With cumulative sales approaching 2 million, the two-time Grammy® nominated alternative rockers have also scored seven consecutive number one Christian radio singles, a 2008 GMA Dove Award for "Rock Song of the Year," a 2009 nomination for Artist of the Year, a trio of singles on Billboard's Mainstream Rock charts and a pair of BMI Songwriting awards.

The ABA House of Delegates has unanimously passed a resolution urging federal, state, local and territorial governments to pass legislation curtailing the availability and effectiveness of the use of "gay panic" and "trans panic" defenses by criminal defendants. These defense strategies seek to excuse the crimes by saying that the victim's sexual orientation caused their assailant's violent reaction to them. The ABA recommends that courts, when asked, instruct juries to ignore the victim's gender or sexual orientation in its deliberations; it also recommends that laws might ban any use of such defenses in noncapital cases.
D'Arcy Kemnitz, executive director of the National LGBT Bar Association was granted floor privilege to speak on the issue before the vote.
Kemnitz detailed several brutal assaults and murders of young people whose assailants used gay-panic defenses to claim their acts were reasonable.

I think old Jedi are more extreme than Sith, Sith believes Jedi can be turned, they were firstly dark jedi, they also accepted former jedi Kun, Kaan, Krayt as their leader.
hypocrites, the bunch of them. Palpatine was right, there isn't that much difference between Jedi/Sith Can't we just get along?
Yeah the PT Jedi are super-inflexible. They're as much to blame for Anakin's fall as Palpatine and Anakin himself.
In the Jedi's defense, I'd assume that the quote means that the Sith only classify people as either asset or threat, without regard for anyone with motivations that don't mesh with Sith philosophy. But Lucas ain't good at dialogue and/or Obi-Wan's kind of an idiot so it doesn't get across well.
Except that Palpatine, after all the evidence we have, really is... is... a brilliant singer. That's what I was going to say. But I suddenly had a bad feeling that in Episode VII Obi-Wan's ghost is going to say something like this: "Why didn't I tell you that Han is your brother? Well, from a certain point of view..." The Jedi order during the Fall was really inflexible, and I had a thread on temp forums in which I blamed Yoda for everything. He had been the leader of the order for how many centuries, and half of the Council during the prequels were his former apprentices or grandapprentices. Not much room for differing opinions there, whereas every Banite Sith Master could change the Sith teachings as he choose.
I've come to interpret that particular line as 'only a Sith is completely certain.' The Force has a dark side and a light side, there are actions that hew in one direction only, but a Jedi can never truly know what those actions are. If you believe what you're doing is absolutely the right course of action, the only right course of action, then actually you're probably wrong and hearing the dark side instead. Anakin falls because he is completely certain that only Palpatine can save Padme. He has rejected every other possibility without even trying any of them. The Jedi who never doubts, who never questions his own righteousness, who always is certain he has the solution and no one else does, that Jedi is on a path to the dark side. Anakin Skywalker, Jorus C'Baoth, Jacen Solo, and many more, all succumbed to the siren song of their own certainty. Now, Obi-Wan's little line exists in bad context. The Jedi Order he represented had in fact become extremely dogmatic and was in its own way really quite corrupt. I agree with @Lugija that the long tenure of Yoda at the top was a problem, it made the order far too inflexible, practically unable to see any solution outside of Yoda's personal vision.
Seems to me the Jedi were pretty "certain" that attachments lead to the dark side. While Anakin's attachments may have contributed to his fall, I think the Jedi inflexibility in this is suspect. The way I "read" the prequels, the Jedi fail because they are detached.
That's always been my interpretation as well. The way I see it, the purpose of ROTJ is to prove that love and compassion can ultimately defeat evil. Relationships are perfectly fine as long as they do not lead to attachment/jealousy. By ignoring Anakin's obvious cries for help and telling him to force down his emotions the Jedi of the PT created an unstable time bomb. Had they allowed Anakin to marry Padme and then counseled him through periods of anger they could have prevented his eventual breakdown. As for the line in ROTS, I've always assumed that Obi-Wan was willing to say anything to get Anakin to reconsider his choice to become a Sith. Because no matter how you slice it, "no attachments and no love period" is a pretty absolute statement.
Believing in one of two possibilities is certainly less absolute than believing in only one. Additionally, we now know that Obi-wan and Yoda came to that conclusion after trying a whole bunch of other things to get rid of Palpatine. In addition to their own personal attempts to kill the Emperor, Obi-Wan and yoda were likely aware, via the Force, of the literally dozens of other people, Jeid and otherwise, who tried and failed to get rid of Palpatine and/or Vader. Certainly raw power wasn't the solution - Galen Marek had Force energy practically oozing from every pore, and that didn't bring Vader down. if anything, embracing Luke and/or Leia represents the final crumbling of Jedi Order dogma - they finally decided to try and manipulate Vader through his attachments for good bringing matters full circle and sort of retroactively making Obi-Wan's comment true. In a broader sense regarding this particular statement by Obi-Wan and a number of others by him, my view is that Obi-Wan is supposed to represent something very close to the Jedi ideal (which is an outgrowth of Sir Alec Guiness' general awesomeness back during the original ANH portrayal). A great many of his peers were blinded by a dogma he was able to reject. There are various hints at this scattered across the PT, and certainly many more in various Clone Wars materials. Among other things we know Obi-Wan is aware that Anakin and Padme have a thing, but he's apparently never reported it to Yoda or Windu in a sort of personal rejection of that absolute order.
Problem is- his skepticism at Luke's assertation that there is still good in Vader. And in The Life & Legend of Obi-Wan Kenobi- his spirit is on the DS2- he winces when Luke throws away his lightsaber- and he is utterly amazed when Vader attacks the Emperor.
That's exactly how I feel - I really like your interpretation of ROTJ and believe it is spot on. My own fanfiction-y thoughts about a sequel trilogy would have to do with Luke re-interpreting the Jedi philosophy for a new age. The force was "out of balance" not just because the Sith managed to take over, but also because the old Jedi way was too one-sided and inflexible. The tennents of the new Jedi way should be love and compassion, as you say, over suppression and emotional detachment.
Or maybe it was just a badly thought out random lines by Lucas on par with what was coming out of Anakin's mouth "I can overthrow him and you and I can rule the galaxy" and "I have bought peace and freedom to my new Empire" ............ 5 mins later "I should have known the Jedi were plotting to take over"
Believe me, there are worse lines than "Sith deal in absolutes". Like, "I don't know. Mesa day startin pretty okee-day with a brisky morning munchy, then BOOM! Gettin very scared and grabbin that Jedi and POW! Mesa here! Mesa gettin' very very scared!". That's a bad line. "Hold me, like you did by the lake on Naboo; so long ago when there was nothing but our love. No politics, no plotting, no war." is a bad line. "Only Sith deal in absolutes" can be taken as ironic. Incidentally, I tend to think that Lucas loved Obi-Wan as much as we tend to because he seemed to concentrate on giving him some of the least stupid dialogue of the prequels.
A: In my opinion the Jedi are EVIL. O: Let's talk about this calmly, why do you think that? And How do you feel about that? A: Join me, we can destroy the Emperor, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy. O: OK, as long as we kill the Emperor first. A: Then you'll join me? O: I said so, didn't I, now when do we go kill Palpatine?
Instead of Obi-wan saying "you are lost", what he should have said is the Jedi are not the ones killing children and choking there pregnant wife
Lol if we are quoting Jar Jar then "Dellow felegates" does deserve a good mention and if we are doing Padme lines, "To be angry is to be human" right after her boyfriend just confessed to mass murder is still the winner for me
It suprises me that they have not published a story about a Sith falling in love with a Jedi. Such a cliché...
The Fate of the Jedi series comes close with Vestara (a trainee Sith) falling in love with Ben (a trainee Jedi).
It kind of made me chuckle, actually... ONLY the Sith deal in absolutes? Isn't that an absolute statement right there? Taking his statement literally, you could argue that he'd have to be a Sith to be telling the truth.

Day Game After Night Game: None
Injuries�- A brief look at players that have been missing time with minor ailments and their expected returns.
Day-to-Day�(includes players expected to make their return from the DL)
Carl Crawford, OF, TAM (shoulder) � Limited to DH duties pre-break, but started the All-Star Game in left field, so should be good to go
Carlos Beltran, OF, NYM (knee) � Returning to lineup Thursday, finally
Jeff Niemann, SP, TAM (back) � Left Sunday�s start with back tightness; seems minor
Adrian Beltre, 3B, BOS (hamstring) � Will have an MRI Thursday; probably not serious
Scott Baker, SP, MIN (elbow) � Said cortisone shot has helped; still on track to start Monday
Cesar Izturis, SS, LAA (forearm) � Resumed batting practice Wednesday
Felix Pie, OF, BAL (quad) � Expected to rejoin lineup Thursday
Players on the DL
Shin-Soo Choo, OF, CLE (thumb) � Could return by end of July
Brett Anderson, SP, OAK (elbow) � Rehab start postponed due to blister; no big deal
Clay Buchholz, SP, BOS (hamstring) � Will make one rehab start Thursday before returning to rotation
Victor Martinez, C, BOS (thumb) � Not much improvement yet
Dustin Pedroia, 2B, BOS (foot) � Will have CT scan Friday that may allow him to get out of the boot and crutches
Brian Roberts, 2B, BAL (back) � 5-for-6 in two low-level rehab games; targeting August 1
Asdrubal Cabrera, SS, CLE (forearm) � Has begun rehab assignment
Shaun Marcum, SP, TOR (elbow) � Will throw another bullpen Thursday before Jays make a plan for his return
Josh Beckett, SP, BOS (back) � Will make second rehab start Saturday, then expected to return to the rotation
Jacoby Ellsbury, OF, BOS (ribs) � May finally be nearing a rehab assignment
Dallas Braden, SP, OAK (elbow) � Rehab start Thursday, aiming for July 20 return
Conor Jackson, OF, OAK (hamstring) � In Arizona for workouts; will begin short rehab assignment when ready
Manny Delcarmen, RP, BOS (forearm) � Will make a rehab appearance Thursday, then likely return to the team this weekend
Jeremy Hermida, OF, BOS (ribs) � Will start rehab assignment Thursday
Jed Lowrie, SS, BOS (illness) � Will continue rehab at Triple-A starting Thursday
Mike Lowell, 3B, BOS (hip) � Will rejoin team Thursday; no plan yet
Transactions�- Players that have been demoted, called up, traded, released, you name it. We'll cover it here.
Sent Down�
John Ely, SP, LAD
Jason Jaramillo, C, PIT
Justin Thomas, RP, PIT
Jeffrey Marquez, RP, CHW
Called Up
Jon Link, RP, LAD
Yunel Escobar, SS, TOR
Jo-Jo Reyes, RP, TOR
Alex Gonzalez, SS, ATL
Closer Watch�- A closer look at intriguing ninth-inning situations (check out Dave Regan's Closer Grid with the link to the left).
Cleveland � Kerry Wood came into a tied game in the 10th inning Sunday apparently in a hurry to each the All-Star break, as he recorded just one out while allowing the game-winning run to score. Wood now has four losses and three blown saves to go with one win and eight saves. His name has been thrown around in trade rumors, but who wants a pitcher who�s been so bad? Chris Perez is still on deck; he�s been hard to hit over the last two months (16 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 8 BB, 12K).
Pittsburgh � Octavio Dotel blew his fifth save Sunday and took the loss to Milwaukee. He�ll likely remain in the closer�s role for the time being, but he�s a candidate to be traded as well, in which case All-Star Evan Meek seems first in line to get the few save chances in Pittsburgh.
Key Matchups�- Spotlight on hitters and pitchers with favorable matchups against their opponent on a particular day (generally, individual matchups with fewer than 10 at-bats are not included). *Check Status
Vladimir Guerrero v. Tim Wakefield � 9-for-21 (.429), 5 HR, 8 RBI, 9:3 BB:K, .600 OBP � No surprise that bad-ball hitter Vladdy likes the knuckler
Bengie Molina v. Tim Wakefield � 7-for-20 (.350), 1 HR, 3 RBI, 0:1 BB:K, .409 OBP
Derrek Lee v. Jamie Moyer � 5-for-11 (.455), 0 HR, 2 RBI, 1:3 BB:K, .500 OBP
Justin Morneau* v. John Danks -- 8-for-26 (.308), 3 HR, 9 RBI, 9:7 BB:K, .486 OBP
Joe Mauer v. John Danks � 10-for-29 (.345), 0 HR, 2 RBI, 4:5 BB:K, .424 OBP
Michael Cuddyer v. John Danks � 16-for-30 (.533), 5 HR, 11 RBI, 2:4 BB:K, .563 OBP
Matt Holliday v. Clayton Kershaw � 4-for-10 (.400), 0 HR, 0 RBI, 4:2 BB:K, .571 OBP
Jamey Carroll v. Chris Carpenter -- 6-for-16 (.375), 0 HR, 1 RBI, 2:2 BB:K, .444 OBP
Josh Bard v. Joel Pineiro � 5-for-12 (.417), 0 HR, 0 RBI, 2:0 BB:K, .500 OBP
Jack Wilson v. Joel Pineiro � 7-for-12 (.583), 0 HR, 1 RBI, 0:0 BB:K, .583 OBP
Chris Carpenter v. Dodgers � Carpenter hasn�t been himself lately, having been stuck with four or more earned runs in three of his last five starts, but he gets a user-friendly opponent in the Manny-less Dodgers, who have a pitiful-looking combined .241/.282/.315 line against him. He fired seven shutout against Los Angeles earlier this year, so look for him to get back on the horse this time out.
Ian Kinsler v. Tim Wakefield � 2-for-13 (.154), 1 HR, 1 RBI, 0:3 BB:K, .154 OBP
Aramis Ramirez v. Jamie Moyer � 1-for-11 (.091), 0 HR, 0 RBI, 4:2 BB:K, .333 OBP
Brian Schneider v. Ryan Dempster � 2-for-12 (.167), 0 HR, 2 RBI, 2:3 BB:K, .286 OBP
Nick Punto v. John Danks � 2-for-21 (.095), 0 HR, 0 RBI, 2:1 BB:K, .174 OBP
Andre Ethier v. Chris Carpenter � 2-for-11 (.182), 0 HR, 0 RBI, 0:1 BB:K, .182 OBP
Chone Figgins v. Joel Piniero � 3-for-22 (.136), 0 HR, 1 RBI, 1:2 BB:K, .167 OBP
Jeff Francoeur v. Tim Lincecum � 2-for-13 (.154), 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1:4 BB:K, .214 OBP � Most likely won�t start
Tim Wakefield v. Rangers � Wakefield hasn�t faced a lot of these Rangers, but he�s been absolutely crushed by them when he has, allowing nine homers in 105 at-bats. Granted, five of those come from Vlad Guerrero, but this hard-hitting Texas lineup is hardly the sort of team you want to start Wake against. The fact that the game is in Boston rather than Arlington is a small consolation.
John Danks v. Twins � When you see the Twins� three best hitters filed under �hot� and only Nick Punto under �cold,� it should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect from Danks on Thursday. Minnesota hitters have a combined .315/.398/.576 line against him. Fortunately for Danks, Morneau may not play � though he�d probably rather see Cuddyer out of the lineup. The bright side: Danks has had a fine season, including two solid outings (7 IP, 3 ER; 6.1 IP, 1 ER) against the Twins already this year. Don�t automatically bench him, but evaluate the risk-reward of starting him in a short week in head-to-head leagues.
Recommended Pickup
Daniel Hudson, SP, White Sox � The 23-year-old Hudson struggled Sunday in his first start since replacing Jake Peavy in the rotation, but has been very effective in Triple-A (11-4, 3.47 ERA, 108 Ks in 93.1 innings) and had a decent cup of coffee last year, posting a 3.38 ERA over 18.2 innings. His career minor league numbers � 2.90 ERA, 10.6 K/9 � show impressive potential, so if he makes a good impression, he could stick in the rotation for good. Shallow leaguers might want to exercise caution due to his youth and unfavorable home park, but Hudson is worth taking a flier on.

This British film examines the choices individuals must make when confronted with a romantic relationship which is rewarding but does not offer them everything they want. In this sympathetic and psychologically precise drama, Alexandra Greville (Glenda Jackson), "Alex" to her friends, has a younger man as her sometime lover, the young sculptor Bob Elkin (Murray Head). Elkin is completely open about the fact that he is also the lover of her acquaintance, Dr. Daniel Hirsch (Peter Finch). These relationships continue in some kind of equilibrium until Alex and Bob agree to house-sit the children of a couple known to the three of them. In their roles, neither Head nor Finch "swished," or otherwise catered to homosexual stereotypes, and theirs was considered to be a groundbreaking, sympathetic portrayal of this kind of relationship, not condescending in any way. One highlight of the film is a scene in which Dr. Hirsch attends the Bar Mitzvah of his nephew. This critically well-received movie was unexpectedly successful at the box office. The film's director and screenwriter, as well as Jackson and Finch, were nominated for Academy Awards.

The 72-page document, Deus Caritas Est (God is Love), has been reprinted three times in the German Pope's own language, three times in Spanish and sold almost 1.5 million copies in Italian.
Its success has also meant that, for the first time in modern history, the Latin version of a papal document has had to be reprinted. The initial run of 1,000 copies sold out in two months.
"Even now, a year after its publication, we're still shifting a few copies every day in the various languages," Claudio Rossini, director of the Libreria Editrice Vaticana bookshop next to St Peter's Square told ANSA.
Some attribute the success of the Pope's letter to the fact that it is his first, coupled with his reputation as a scholar and Theological expert. But, Prof. Ilaria Morali, who teaches dogmatic theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University, believes the subject matter of the encyclical has also played a role.
"Love is something that everyone is interested in. People know that here at least the subject will not be treated lightly or in a banal way," she said.
In the letter, Pope Benedict reflects upon the concepts of eros, agape, and philia - the three ancient classifications of love - and their relationship with the teachings of Jesus. The Holy Father calls all men and women to seek the divine origins of each type of love.
"I wanted here," the Pope says in the document, "to clarify some essential facts concerning the love which God mysteriously and gratuitously offers to man, together with the intrinsic link between that Love and the reality of human love."

Is Latisse only availed through prescription? I was wondering so I can talk to my doctor about it.
Is Latisse a Prescription?
Doctor Answers 4
Web reference: https://plus.google.com/+Edelsteincosmetic
Yes. There are two ways to get Latisse depending on where you live. It can either be dispensed from your doctors office as we do in Maryland, or your doctor can write a prescription for it, which you would get at the pharmacy.
Yes Latisse is a prescription. In some states the prescribing doctor can sell it to you in the office. In other states it has to be a prescription filled by the pharmacy. It will not be covered by insurance plans since it is considered cosmetic.

Latisse is available by prescription only. It's important for the prescriber to discuss the possible side effects, need for continuous treatment and what to expect in terms of results. After the initial evaluation, it's a good idea to followup periodically to monitor your progress and check for complications.

"Real Grand Expression"
A phrase that defines the expressive capability of Clavinova. It is the key components of the sound, the touch and the pedals, together with the application of technology developed through a history of acoustic piano manufacturing. These elements are combined perfectly into a single instrument, creating the exact sound you want through the touch of the keys and the feel of the pedals. When you play a Clavinova, you can imagine that you are playing a grand piano.
Two of the world's finest grands
The CFX, Yamaha's finest concert grand selected and played by the winner of the 2010 International Chopin Piano Competition and the Imperial from Bösendorfer, a brand held in high esteem by pianists throughout its long history. These renowned pianos are characterised by distinctive traits such as power, versatility, subtlety, lightness and mellowness. Both of these superb pianos' voices are featured in the Clavinova. Tuned to perfection by a highly experienced piano technician with the sound from each key sampled individually, Clavinova truly captures the unique tonal character of each of these outstanding instruments. With Clavinova, you can enjoy the exquisite beauty of the sought-after tone that the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial deliver.
VRM Physical Modelling
In a grand piano, sound resonates throughout the body of the instrument, producing a rich reverberation that envelops the listener in sound. This phenomena is reproduced perfectly in the Clavinova through Virtual Resonance Modelling (VRM), which calculates the various states of the strings for each of the 88 notes on the keyboard from one instant to the next, allowing vivid, richly-varied expression that reflects the limitless number of factors inherent in playing the piano such as which keys are pressed, the strength with which the keys are played and pedal timing.
Smooth Tonal Transitions
A pianist changes the volume and dynamics of the sound by varying the pressure applied to the keys. A Clavinova responds perfectly to give the player an outstanding level of performance control. By using long, carefully-sampled recordings of notes on a piano and unique Yamaha technologies to achieve smooth tonal transitions, rich sonic detail is delivered in response to the touch of the player.
Key counterweights
Counterweights are embedded in the keys of a grand piano to balance the weight of the hammers and offer more precise control when playing delicately at low volumes. The Clavinova features carefully-adjusted counterweights for improved playability when playing pianissimo and better key return in rapid passages. The keyboard of the Clavinova has been fine-tuned to offer optimal balance, emphasizing its superb playability and grand piano response.
88-key Linear Graded Hammer action
This action faithfully reproduces the subtle differences in the weight and return of every key. No two keys are exactly alike which gives the player the best possible feel and response from the instrument.
GP Response Damper Pedal
The GP Response Damper Pedal offers a grand piano-style resistance curve, starting out light to the touch and growing heavier as the pedal is depressed further. This allows players to become accustomed to the nuances of delicate pedalling.
Full-bodied tone and resonance
The sound of a Clavinova is calibrated in fine detail, with speaker positioning and body materials checked to ensure that the entire instrument resonates optimally. To create a sound field that is very close to that of a grand piano, the Clavinova features tone escapements in several locations throughout the body that allow the sound from the speakers to be projected to the listener without being trapped inside the instrument.
Acoustic Optimiser
The body of the Clavinova contains Acoustic Optimisers that regulate the flow of sound and control tone. A new technology developed from Yamaha's intimate knowledge of the acoustic properties of musical instruments, Acoustic Optimisers deliver a natural, smooth sound across the entire keyboard.
- Piano voicing sampled from Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial grand pianos
- 34 voices
- Graded Hammer 3X (GH3X) keyboard with Synthetic Ivory keytops and escapement
- 303 lesson songs
- 16 track recording and USB audio recording

- Description
Although there is a growing tendency for satellites to become larger, there is still a need for a small launcher to put 300 to 2000 kg satellites, for scientific and Earth observation missions, into polar and low-Earth orbits cheaply and quickly. Europe's answer to these needs is Vega, named after the 2nd brightest star in the northern hemisphere. Vega will make access to space easier, quicker and cheaper. Costs are being kept to a minimum by using some of the technologies already developed for Ariane launchers. Vega will also be able to make use of the existing launch facilities at Europe's spaceport in Kourou.
Vega has been designed as a single body launcher with three solid propulsion stages and an additional liquid propulsion upper module for attitude and orbit control, and satellite release.
Development of the Vega launcher started in 1998 and the first launch is planned to take place in 2005.

What is a Ferrox Trout?
Hey All
While daydreaming my way through some Scottish Fly fishing websites I saw Ferrox Trout come up a number of times. I looked it up on Fishbase.org but drew a blank. A search on just that name seems to bring up more Scottish sites but none have a photo on them. Is this this just a local name for a trout or salmon that I might already know of? Thanks! Rich |

Ferox Trout
A ferox trout is is a trout which has turned cannibal. Juvenile trout live on insects and grubs, but when a brown trout reaches about 12" in length it can change diets. At that size it can catch and eat other fish up to half its own length. Such a sizeable meal is rich in protein and may require less effort to obtain. As a result trout which discover this food source soon pack on the weight. Growth curves which may have been gentle can now explode. Not very many trout take this option, perhaps due to a lack of prey fish. Some lochs such as Rannoch are famous for their ferox, these lochs often have good heads of charr and perch as a food source. Loch Tay has given up ferox to 16lb in recent years. See more about ferox trout fishing. w ww.fishingnet.com/brown_trout.htm To some naturalists a ferox or great lake trout is simply a large brown trout that feeds primarily on fish. To others it is a species of trout in its own right, the Salmo ferox. But all agree on the main characteristics of the ferox: a big wild trout that is found in natural lakes in Europe; with a big head and grotesquely long, broad powerful jaws that bear some resemblance to the pike's; a fairly plain silvery or dull brown coloration, possibly with a greenish or olive hue; a fish-eater. To these physical features we must add one other ferox characteristic: great longevity. Most of the British and Irish lakes that appear to hold ferox trout tend to be fairly unproductive: lakes like Lochs Morar, Ness, Arkaig, Awe and Quoich in Scotland, Ullswater and Bassenthwaite in Cumbria, Loughs Eask and Melvin. in Ireland and Llyns Padarn and Peris set amidst the mountains of Snowdonia. In these waters a typical brown trout caught on rod and line will be less than a pound in weight and between three and five years of age. But very occasionally the angling press will announce the capture of a trout weighing up to ten pounds or more. There is considerable evidence that the number of big ferox trout has declined during this century. In the 1800s they were not uncommon, but a wild ten-pounder is now a rarity. This may be related to the decline of the Atlantic salmon and sea trout, on which the ferox feed. Most ferox lakes have adults of these species passing through them to spawn in the lakes' feeder streams. After spawning, the much-weakened kelts drop back to the lakes; and two or three years later the sea-going smolts pass through the lake on their way to the sea. These are the ferox's prey; and the great reduction in numbers of these rich sources of food has presumably contributed to the scarceness of big ferox. In a study of Lough Melvin, biologists from the Queen's University, Belfast showed that the ferox trout is genetically different from the other forms of trout that inhabit that lake. They spawn with other ferox trout in separate streams from the other trout that live there. Furthermore, Andrew Ferguson and his co-workers showed that it is possible to identify, by genetic finger-printing, tiny ferox trout that may superficially resemble ordinary brown trout. On these grounds Ferguson argued, in the Went Memorial Lecture given to the Royal Dublin Society on 20 November 1985, that the ferox in Melvin were a full species in their own right that had evolved from a single colonisation of the lough follow'mg the last Ice Age. As yet, we have no similar studies from other ferox lakes, so the biological identity of the ferox remains a puzzle. If ferox are merely overgrown carnivorous trout, why do some trout become fish-eaters and grow to great age and size while the vast majority do not? But if ferox are members of a separate species, why are there no records in the angling literature of small ferox trout? Only the most tentative conclusions can be drawn at present. Briefly, within the brown trout stocks of some lakes are genes which confer on their possessors the ability to grow to great age and to great size, and a behavioural trait to turn almost exclusively to a diet of fish once they have reached a certain size. Other trout, the majority, do not have these genes; they have a much shorter lifespan and although like all trout they will feed keenly on very small fish fry at times, they will not change their feeding pattern to concentrate on hunting fish. w ww.lochwinnochac.net/Trout/ferox.html Whole new study, no one is sure but IMHO they are just big cannibel brownies. |
Thanks for the in-depth (and speedy!) reply!

another bit about ferox
Just cos I know a bit about this I can't help myself from sharing....
As indicated above there are two types of ferox. The first is the genetically distinct ferox trout, which as in Melvin exists as a seprate species and breeds only with other ferox trout. These are associated with cold upland low productivity lakes, just like char in Ireland. The second is the trout which turn on to a fish diet and become ferox like in appearance. These are not only found in low productivity waters. Indeed the famous Lough Corrib gives up a large number of "ferox" to those who troll for them, especially in the early season. The Irish Specimen Fish Committee website carries an article on angling for these Corrib fish. www.irish-trophy-fish.com/articles/bobc.htm The Irish Char Conservation Group has a bit about ferox on their website (our website I should say) and also about sonaghen and gillaroo - other fully fledged species of brown trout. There is also a photo of a small ferox from lough Talt. www.charr.org/species/ferox.htm Appart from the interest some of you may have in these article I have to say Willie has it covered above. On a more general note fishing was slow for me in 2004. Some great sport was had to the middle of June on my local river the Liffey. Fish of a pound and more were not uncommon and I really enjoyed fishing smaller and smaller as the evenings got longer and longer. But I eventaully had reign in my enthousiasm for the trout and give my new daughter a bit of attention(!). At 7 pounds she was a lot smaller than some fish I have know, but she makes up in smiles what she lacks in size. I can really appreciate all those posts that allude to good fishing opportunites interrupted by family commitments now...
No angler, no matter how good, can catch a fish everytime, but then no fish, no matter how cunning, can resist a fly everytime... |
Thanks Mylo! Next time I head your way I will have to try for a ferox or two.

NBC's 'Chuck' (Mondays at 8/7c) uncorked an awesome development last week: BFF Morgan is now privy to Chuck's top-secret spy job. What does it mean for the boys' bromance? Fancast "debriefed" Joshua Gomez on this latest twist, and also sought out the scoop on an MIA character's upcoming return.
When did you first find out that Morgan would be learning Chuck's secret?
I think it was between seasons. See, Morgan can keep a secret!
Were you happy with Morgan's reaction? Do you feel it was true to character?
Yeah, I was happy we didn't get bogged with, "I can't believe you didn't tell me…." I think the fans feel the same way; so far, their reaction has been very positive. After all, it is pretty true to the character [to think,] "This is the coolest thing on the planet!"
What's cool is that Chuck no longer has to lie to Morgan. The longer he did that, the less we tended to like him and the worse we felt for Morgan.
I'm glad to hear you feel that way. They wanted that to be resolved for a while, but you couldn't do it too soon. Awesome found out last year, but he has so much more at stake with Ellie and the danger of all that. Morgan is the one guy who can be Alfred to Chuck's Batman. He can make Chuck a spot of tea as he tells about his day. Awesome is a great character, but he's not Chuck's boy!
How was it to be directed by Zach Levi? It was a terrific episode, and the consensus among critics seems to be that he did a fine job.
Thank you so much. Whoever thought of how to connect all these worlds together did a genius job. And to have Zach direct such a big, important episode for the 'Chuck' mythology was a really nice gesture. He did a great job. And because it was Zach, the cast and the crew rallied. That's not to say we don't do that for other directors, but there was something special going on. We were supporting our guy. So to hear you all reacting the way you did to it is really, really gratifying.
This week's episode kicks off with Morgan "staked out" outside Casey's apartment. Does he now fancy himself as a spy-in-training?
You'll see, as the episodes progress, that he finds himself in some fun situations. Now that he knows, he's like, "OK, what's our next job?" That's how Morgan approaches life. Sitting on the sidelines is not what he does.
When the show got picked up for Season 3, there was some concern we'd see less of the Buy More guys. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
Yeah, there's still a lot of fun to be had there. After [the season finale], there was the question of how different a show is it going to be? And it is different, and one of the cool things about our show is that these characters have changed, and they to continue to change. There are some big differences, tonally, coming up. But it's still the Buy More and the same crew. They'll always find ways to keep that going.
Does a small part of you wish Morgan was part of Jeffster?
[Laughs] I don't know, I don't know…. I think he's fine watching those two just do their thing.
I heard that Julia Ling is coming back as Anna Wu….
I can neither confirm nor deny…. I don't know if I'm supposed to talk about certain things….
Well, she revealed it on Twitter a few weeks ago.
Oh, did she? Then fine, yes, she is coming back. [Laughs] Yeah, Anna fell for some chef in Hawaii or something and stayed there, while Morgan came home, so it's a fun little storyline when she comes back.
Does she try to reignite the flame?
A little bit. But now she's dealing with a different man!
Morgan last week was the first character to bluntly shill for Subway. Was that somewhat of an honor?
Yes, it was. [Laughs] I know there was a ton of rumors that maybe Sarah would even be working at Subway [this season]…. They've been such a supporter of our show, it's cool we can work them in with that fun little "wink."
Before we go, give me one more tease about what's coming up for Morgan.
I'm really, really excited because [Morgan learning Chuck's secret] kicks off a great run of episodes, now that these worlds are tied together. Morgan really gets up in it, so there's fun to be had. From [episodes] 310 to 319 is a wild ride for 'Chuck' fans. It's definitely a wild ride.

Postgame notes: "There's some concern there"
Ten starts in a row, Freddy Garcia didn't allow a single home run. When he finally coughed one up on August 29, it was the only run he allowed all game. Since then, Garcia has allowed multiple home runs in three straight starts, including two tonight to Adam Lind.
"I try to make good pitches, and sometimes I'm not able to do it," Garcia said. "That's why I've been giving home runs… Last three starts, I don't be doing my job. I'm really frustrated about it, but that's part of the game. Sometimes you pitch good. Sometimes you pitch bad. You just have to go continue to try to do the best that you can do, and hopefully everything goes well for you."
This weekend did little to clarify the Yankees rotation situation. Bartolo Colon couldn't pitch beyond the fourth inning on Saturday, and Garcia couldn't get out of the fifth today. At times, one of those two has been the Yankees second-best starter, but they've struggled recently.
"Bart had a good start on this road trip and had one that wasn't so good," Joe Girardi said. "Freddy's kept us in the games. We talked at the beginning of the season how we worried about innings for both these guys. There's some concern there, but they've just got to find a way to get it done."
Garcia said tonight's home run was a good pitch, a splitter that Lind put a good swing on. The second was a slider that "didn't do much."
As good as Garcia has been this season, there is some risk with him. He's never been an overwhelming or overpowering pitcher. His value is in his experience and savvy, and sometimes that leaves little margin for error.
"He's just missing some spots, that's all," Girardi said. "That's going to happen. Freddy's not going to be a huge strikeout guy and they're going to put the ball in play. If you miss some spots, that's the chance you're going to take."
Here's Garcia.
• The Yankees won only four of 10 on this road trip, but they still managed to gain two games in the standings. After today's game, the team just seemed relieved to be finally going home. "From now on every game is important," Alex Rodriguez said. "Every game is meaningful. We're looking forward to playing at home, playing well, start cleaning up some of the small mistakes that we've been making. We understand we've got to get better."
• After Monday's makeup game against the Twins, the Yankees play their final 10 games against the Red Sox and Rays. With seven games at home against those two teams, the Yankees home stand could either put the division away or make it a race to the finish. "It will be a great opportunity to do that there," Mariano Rivera said. "We still have to perform good and take care of business at home, get this thing over."
• The Yankees magic number to clinch a playoff spot is five, to clinch the division is seven.
• Obviously Brandon Morrow completely shutdown the Yankees offense today. "He had us baffled all day with his slide," Rodriguez said. "He probably threw 70 to 75 percent sliders, which is a very high percentage for him. He's usually the opposite, 70 to 77 percent fastball guy."
• Of the Yankees five hits, three were by Eduardo Nunez, and Nunez was the only Yankee to advance beyond first base.
• Of course, Nunez also made the second Yankees base-running mistake of the weekend. "He's just making an aggressive turn," Girardi said. "In that situation, you've got to know the score. You're not going to get to second unless it really bounces off himn, so you've got to be cautious there. He was just overaggressive."
• Why not pinch hit for Ramiro Pena in the eighth? "Pena's had some success off him," Girardi said. "Grandy is 1 for his last 15 with 10 strikeouts. If we had a couple guys on, I might have pinch-hit Grandy and taken a chance."
• Impressive Yankees debut by Raul Valdes, who retired four of the five batters he faced, including all three left-handers. The Yankees have been giving Aaron Laffey a lot of chances to emerge as a legitimate second lefty candidate, but that Valdes appearance might earn a few more looks. I still don't think the Yankees will actually carry a second left-hander in the postseason, but I'm sure they'd like to have a backup option in mind.
• Random fact about tonight's game: The phone from the dugout to the bullpen stopped working for a while. "The phones haven't worked real good here the last couple days," Girardi said. "Danny (Iassogna) handled it and we used the policeman's walkie-talkie for a few minutes, then they got the phones working again."
• Girardi's assessment of going 4-6 on the road and still gaining two games in the standings: "I think we are fortunate," he said. "We've got to go home and play better, there's no doubt about it. At times, we didn't swing the bats on this trip. Is it good pitching? Is it fatigue? I don't know, but I know our guys are pretty worn down. Now they'll get to sleep in their own beds and hopefully catch up a little bit."
