back in the hole
This is ridiculous. I'm thinking of closing down the blog from being so personal since my personal life has pretty much gone down the hole.
I think I may either suspend this one or start a new one just for crafty crap.
Since my last post, I've had major anxiety again requiring yet another medication.... lost my beloved mentor group that I worked SO hard leading and getting trained for. It kind of imploded due to complete conflict.
Stuff has gone down in my marriage (not up for discussion... just take that as fact and move on)
And... the icing on the cake. Iris and I were in a car accident. She is fine, although requiring chiropractic care. I am mostly fine, but am requiring some medical care. The car is totalled. Totally totalled. Now its a matter of paperwork, appointments, health logs, lawyer updates blah blah blah. I'm still very numb from it... can't even think about getting a new car until I can breathe normally whenever I drive in my current car. I am ultra paranoid.
This Just in! There may be developments in my career! This may be the one positive thing I have going right now. I've been asked by a local gallery to use some skills that I have that are NOT being used at my current job. Which is a whole other story. But again, this personal blog may be ending... so lets just leave it at that.
oh- and another rainbow through the clouds... we got a kitten. His name is Totoro and he loves me the best.

I hope things even out for you soon and you can get out and stay out of "the hole" you are in.

I am sorry to hear that everything has gone topsy turvy. Do not feel guilty about not blogging about all your personal woes. What you share with the world is up to you. I just hope that you have a few friends you feel close enough to to "tell all" to so you don't explode! Or implode depending on what you are holding in. ;) I would love a crafty blog. I should do one of those too then I may feel up to doing more. xoxoxo I am hear for you, just an email, text or call away. Oh, my bestest RL friend is moving to Portsmouth next month. I may go and visit sometime. Not that far from you, is it? The new career sounds GREAT!

- Substance Use
- Medications
- Healthy Living
People have used substances to change their mood, thinking, or behaviour for thousands of years. Some people believe that it is natural to want to alter their state of consciousness. That is why children spin around in order to feel dizzy. The substances that people use include alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, cannabis (marijuana) and others which may be legal. It also includes others that are legal but regulated, for example cigarettes or morphine. Some people choose to use substances that are illegal such as heroin or cocaine. Many substances that are now illegal were once legal and easily available. Some like heroin were advertised as good for you. We won't get into the legal issues here, but it is important to know how a substance can affect you and when it can become a problem.
There is always some risk to using a substance. Even caffeine can be a problem if you drink too much. These risks are greater for children and young teens.1 It can be especially risky for young people under 16 to use substances because their minds and bodies are still developing. Substances may harm a young person's development.
Young people use many of the same substances as adults, for many of the same reasons. But some youth say they use substances for these reasons:
There is a lot you can do to prevent substance use. Start by thinking about your own patterns. Your child is likely to use substances in the same way as the adults in their lives. Most parents can handle their child's experiments with substances without outside help. But if you need help understanding or communicating with your child, talk to their doctor or school counsellor.
For information on types of substances that are often abused, look in the "Substances" section on the left of this screen.

The end of air supremacy
If history teaches us anything about military technology, it's that cheap systems scale up faster than expensive ones do. It is already easy to imagine an up-gunned version of Rodriguez's laser pointer slaved to a radar with a couple of bog-standard servomotors. Off-the-shelf parts, incremental cost less than $3K each, with most of it the development budget going for the targeting firmware. Cost per shot, effectively free.Apparently someone at Boeing was reading Raymond:
Call it the PlaneZapper. You could sit it on a roof, power it off wall current, and it would blind every pilot it can see. Including drone pilots; even if there's a peak-clipping filter between a drone's sensors and its pilot's screen, the effect will be like whiteout. Altitude and cloudy skies might save pilots from the early versions of the PlaneZapper, but for anything that has to fly low and slow this could already be a death knell. Close air support and medevac are obvious vulnerabilities.
Wednesday morning, the company showed off its Compact Laser Weapon System for media in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It's a much smaller, significantly more portable version of the High Energy Laser Mobile Demonstrator (HEL MD) Boeing demonstrated last year. This setup looks like an overgrown camera, swiveling around on a tripod.This means that the battle for air supremacy is going to have to move higher, which is to say, space.
In the demo, Boeing used the laser to burn holes in a stationary, composite UAV shell, to show how quickly it can compromise an aircraft. Two seconds at full power and the target was aflame. Other than numerous safety warnings to ensure no one was blinded by the two-kilowatt infrared laser, there was no fanfare. No explosions, no visible beam. It's more like burning ants with a really, really expensive magnifying glass than obliterating Alderaan.
Instead of a massive laser mounted on a dedicated truck, the compact system is small enough to fit in four suitcase-sized boxes and can be set up by a pair of soldiers or technicians in just a few minutes.

Anxieties about toxics
SAN FRANCISCO'S new ordinance banning the sale of baby bottles, toys and other objects used by young children containing certain chemicals shown to be toxic in animal studies was well intended.
But it was approved without the appropriate planning and consultation with public health authorities, retailers and toy manufacturers.
The ordinance has an astonishingly broad scope. San Francisco will be the only jurisdiction in the world to ban products with bisphenol A, or BPA, and the first in the United States to ban those containing phthalates.
The law goes into effect on Dec. 1, but it is clear that the city is not ready to implement it -- leaving parents in a quandary about which products are safe for their children. It's also being challenged in court.
It was left to The Chronicle's environmental reporter Jane Kay to randomly gather 16 plastic baby items, and to have them tested. Alarmingly, she found that 11 of them would likely violate the city's ban.
But neither the city -- and certainly not this newspaper -- has the resources to test all baby items being sold in San Francisco.
It should be the responsibility of the federal government, not local jurisdictions, to establish the safety of products that are ubiquitous in children's lives. Not surprisingly the relevant federal agencies have been missing in action on these issues.
There have already been some positive outcomes. Walgreen's, for example, has told its vendors to supply information about the contents of their products, and has promised to remove all offending items by Dec. 1. But the city has no way to verify the accuracy of the information supplied by the vendors.
The Board of Supervisors passed this ordinance. Mayor Gavin Newsom signed it. Now they must figure out how to implement it in a responsible, timely fashion.

(Be sure to pick up Georges St. Pierre's new training video: "How to Use Your Unbelievable Explosiveness and Superior Genetics to Win Any Fight." PicProps: MMA Mania)
File this under: Must be nice. You know that dude Georges St. Pierre? Yeah, the guy so naturally athletically gifted that he's managed to teach himself to be one of the best wrestlers in MMA, despite having no formal background in it whatsoever? The most dominant welterweight fighter on the planet today? Turns out that guy doesn't really think that lifting weights and/or doing cardio will help you in a fight.
"I don't believe in strength and conditioning," St. Pierre tells stand-up comedian/color commentator/MMA political action director Joe Rogan this week on the UFC's "Ultimate Insider" show. "I never do strength and conditioning. I do not believe that running on a treadmill or doing I don't know what … I don't believe that's going to help you have better cardio for a fight."
Huh. We're going to assume that what St. Pierre means to say is that he prefers sport-specific training like sparring and grappling drills in order to build his MMA skills and endurance. Still, not to over-simplify the message here, but this sounds suspiciously like Georges St. Pierre is saying the way to succeed in MMA is just to be Georges St. Pierre. Also, let us say for the record that lifting weights and doing conventional cardio probably will help you if you are, you know, a normal person. If you're a mild-mannered French Canadian cyborg whose three great joys in life are kicking ass, finely tailored suits and pool parties, well, maybe the laws of science and nature just don't apply to you.
In order to prove his point, St. Pierre offers up the example of … another unlikely statistical anomaly … in Jean Charles Skarbowsky. That's right, the drunk-as-a-skunk Muay Thai instructor who showed up on this season of "The Ultimate Fighter" just long enough to beat the crap out of everyone after GSP gave his team a stern warning: Do not test this guy, St. Pierre essentially said, because he will murder you and not think twice about it.
"I remember I had a Muay Thai instructor from France, that I even brought on the reality show 'The Ultimate Fighter,'" GSP says to Rogan. "The guy smoked, I don't know how many packs of cigarettes a day. He's always drinking alcohol. He's a real character, and he's completely out of shape, but when he spars with us in Muay Thai, he kicks everyone's ass. The reason is because he is more efficient than we are …
"I think everything in fighting is about efficiency. In the UFC, I do believe everyone is in shape. We're all athletes, you know … but the reason I believe a guy is more tired than another guy, is because one guy is more efficient than the other. One guy is able to bring the fight to where he is strongest, and the other guy to where he is out of his comfort zone."
Point taken. Although, Skarbowsky? Probably not the best example since, like GSP, he appears to be a guy so naturally tough that he can just beat everybody up no matter what he's doing with his off time. Oh, and in case you're wondering, St. Pierre says he does lift weights, but not to help him in competition. No, he only pumps iron to make himself "more marketable." And when he says "more marketable" we assume it's just French for "I do it for the ladies."
"The only reason it is good to lift weights, to do bench press, and stuff like that, I believe, is because it is going to make me more marketable," St. Pierre says. "To keep myself looking more symmetric, with a better image … Which is very important, because if you look good, you feel good, and if you feel good, you do good … Yeah, I lift weights for looks. Yeah, I am gonna admit it."
Next thing you know, GSP will be telling us he doesn't believe in the germ mechanism theory; that he thinks the common cold is caused by tiny, mischievous gnomes who live in the shadows just beyond our peripheral vision. Also, the earth? Totally hollow, dude.

Meetings of Federal, Provincial and Territorial Ministers of Agriculture
As agriculture is a shared federal-provincial-territorial responsibility in Canada, agriculture ministers from across the country meet face-to-face at least once each year to talk about issues facing the agriculture and agri-food sector and to make decisions on how to address these issues. These meetings include a two-day annual conference, usually held in July, as well as one-day meetings as necessary.
The agriculture minister who hosts the annual conference co-chairs the conference and the other meetings that year with the federal minister of agriculture and agri-food. Ministers receive presentations from officials, discuss policy options, and make decisions that help build a stronger future for agriculture in Canada in the short-term and longer-term.
The annual conference and meetings usually conclude with a group photo of the ministers and a news conference or media availability. Ministers also issue a communiqué following each meeting which provides an overview of the topics they discussed and the key decisions they reached at the meeting.

Individuals are recommended to have all applications for funding critically reviewed by peers and colleagues prior to final submission. All applications for research funding require the submission of a ROLA Proposal at the time of request for institutional approvals.
Agreements/Contracts binding the University must be reviewed and approved by the University. In some cases, the researcher and his/her department Chair are asked to approve an agreement; however, a representative from Research Development & Services must always endorse any such binding agreements between the University and any sponsor.
Complete and final contracts/agreements are institutionally approved and submitted through to the Sponsor through Research Development & Services.
Funding results are most often provided to Research Development & Services, but in some cases the individual will receive the information directly from the Sponsor. Should this be the case, the individual is asked to forward the information to RD&S immediately in order to complete the Proposal process.
Funded applications are awarded through ROLA and a research account and speedcode are assigned. Funding is released to the account holder when all compliance requirements are in place.
Processes to gain approvals for human research subjects, animals and biohazards are handled through Western's compliance offices. Approvals are required prior to the release of funding.
Administration of research funding is typically the responsibility of the individual who holds the funding. In certain situations, such as departmental/faculty or institutionally held awards, the Award Holder may have the responsibility. In either case, the individual listed as the Principal Investigator (PI) on the award is responsible for adhering to the terms and conditions of not only the Sponsor funding agreement, but also to Western's financial policies and procedures.

Perhaps, I should put less stock in what others think of me, but let it be known: I'm actually pretty smart. I'm really good at fractions, and I use geometry almost everyday.

Hear Lady Gaga's 'Do What U Want' Featuring R. Kelly
These two.
Lady Gaga released "Do What U Want," her much-anticipated single with R. Kelly, at 12:01 a.m. in North America, but there's no rush. We'll all be hearing it for weeks ... months ... perhaps forever. We're not complaining. It's just nice to hear R. talk about the club again.

We recently enabled a maximum password age and want to put it into effect for all our users. The Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in doesn't seem to have a multiple select option for changing user accounts. What's the easiest way to select the User must change password at next logon check box for many users at once in Active Directory (AD)?
The easiest way to do this task is to use the Addusers utility to produce a text file of usernames, then use the For command to execute a Net User command for each user and select the User must change password at next logon check box. First, run the command
addusers /d users.txt
which produces a users.txt file that contains a list of all users, global groups, and local groups in AD. Open users.txt, locate the \[Global\] line, and delete that line and everything after it to get rid of all the groups listed in the file. Save and close users.txt.
Next, run
for /f "skip=1 tokens=1 delims==, " %i in (junk.txt) do cusrmgr -u %i +s MustChangePassword
The For command skips the first line of the file (i.e., \[User\]), then inserts the username (i.e., the first string from each line in the file) in place of %i in the Cusrmgr command. The Cusrmgr portion of the code then equates to
cusrmgr -u <username> +s MustChangePassword
This Cusrmgr command selects the User must change password at next logon check box for the username that appears in the username variable.

SC State University's Office of Admissions, Recruitment and Scholarships is making the application process simpler for students by providing a more efficient way for them to complete the necessary steps for admission into the University. While students previously had the option of completing the application process via mail or online, it is now mandatory that potential students submit their application, high school transcript, national exam scores and the $25 application fee online.
According to Antonio Boyle, assistant vice president for enrollment management, completing the four-step process online will allow students to receive a response in seconds, will ensure accuracy for the admissions staff, will link admissions to financial aid and other key departments essential for the admissions process and is more cost efficient.
"You can apply to the University, send your high school transcript and pay the application fee online within the same day," says Boyle. "Our machine links these three components, including your social security number and says that you are approved in seconds. You will also receive a hard copy acceptance."
In addition to the speedy response, staff members previously had the cumbersome responsibility of keying in data from hard copy applications, ultimately resulting in errors. With the embracing of new technology, Boyle says that fewer errors will be made. "Before, someone had to re-type the information into the system. Staff members now ensure that they process students and that their records are matched. Technology will allow them to do a better job."
Technology will also allow the data captured in admissions to feed over to financial aid and ultimately to other departments, such as the cashiers office.
"In this age of instant generation, we must be proactive," says Boyle. "We must get into the culture of going online." According to Boyle, this "online culture" will also reduce the cost of printing and mailing applications, as well as hiring the manpower for data entry, a $25,000-$50,000 cost savings.
For additional information regarding the online application process, contact the Office of Admissions, Recruitment and Scholarships at (803) 536-7186. If a student does not have a computer or access to a computer at their school or local library, a member of the Admissions, Recruitment and Scholarships team will be sent to the student's location to assist.

Eclipse MicroPen™ is a revolutionary cordless dermal micro-needling device used by skincare professionals worldwide. Automated Micro-Needling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT) is a new innovation in aesthetic medicine for the treatment of the appearance of fine lines, acne scars and the improvement of the skin's texture, tone and color. The procedure aids in the production of collagen and elastin. Treatment with the Eclipse MicroPen™ results in the reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, improved skin tone and texture and softer, younger-looking skin with fewer signs of aging. It can also improve the appearance of hyper-pigmentation as well as uneven skin tone, acne scars, traumatic scars and stretch marks.
What areas of the body can I treat?
Eclipse MicroPen™ can be used on all parts of the body: face, neck, décolleté, arms, hands, legs, abdomen and back.
How is the procedure done?
A sterile needle-tip containing 12 tiny micro-needles is attached to the Eclipse MicroPen™. Your skincare professional will apply a thin layer of topical gel to your skin and select the appropriate treatment depth based on your unique needs. Next, in a single motion, the pen will be gently pressed against the skin while simultaneously gliding in one direction until the entire treatment area has been covered.
What does it feel like?
The feeling associated with the Eclipse MicroPen™ is similar to sandpaper being moved across the skin. While some areas are more sensitive than others, the speed of the reciprocating needle tip makes the treatment more comfortable.
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure takes 15-30 minutes depending on the size of the area treated.
What is the downtime?
Immediately after the treatment, you will notice a bright redness to the skin. The total healing time depends on the depth of the needles used and the number of overlapping passes your skincare professional performs. On average, patients are red for 2-4 days. Some patients heal completely in 24 hours.
When will I see the results?
Patients notice an immediate "glow" to their skin. Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several weeks. Results can continue to improve up to 6 months after the treatment as collagen production continues.
How many treatments will I need?
Some patients only require a single treatment once a year to achieve optimal results. However, it is recommended for most patients to receive a series of 2-3 treatments space about 6-8 weeks apart. For patients with deep wrinkles, advanced photo-aging, stretch marks or acne scars, it is recommended to receive 6-8 sessions at 6-week intervals.

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- A St. Louis group that pressured two area school systems to accept more transfer students from unaccredited districts no longer plans to seek legal action on behalf of families shut out from their top choices.
The Children's Education Alliance of Missouri said Thursday that the five families mulling a suit against the Mehlville district in St. Louis County have received suitable school assignments. Alliance state director Kate Casas said that fewer than 30 families hoping to transfer from the Riverview Gardens district to either Kirkwood or Mehlville schools were still having problems. Classes in Kirkwood begin on Tuesday.
Both districts cited class size limits in turning away students from Riverview Gardens, one of two county school systems whose students can now go elsewhere after the state Supreme Court upheld such moves in a June ruling.
"We have no plans as of right now to pursue legal action against anyone," Casas said.
Just last week, the education group sent a draft petition to Mehlville superintendent Eric Knecht naming three students and their parents as potential plaintiffs, while also citing its "good-faith hope" to avert legal action.
The group said Monday that both Kirkwood and Mehlville officials have since worked to help "identify a solution that is in the best interest of all kids." St. Louis attorney Joshua Schindler, who represents the alliance and the five Riverview Gardens families, said the two districts have been responsive to the continued concerns.
"As long as we're talking and the ball is moving forward, we prefer to keep it out of the courts," he said Thursday.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Eastern Missouri, which sent its own foreboding letters to the Mehlville and Kirkwood districts, continues to work with Riverview Gardens' parents. Executive director Jeffrey Mittman said legal action is still a possibility.
"We are working with school districts to try to place as many students as possible," he said in a written statement. "Once our negotiation efforts are exhausted, we'll determine if litigation is necessary."
More than 2,600 students applied to transfer out of Normandy and Riverview Gardens schools after the early summer Supreme Court ruling sent parents, principals and school superintendents scrambling. Most chose the districts where free transportation will be provided, though at the expense of the unaccredited districts: Francis Howell for Normandy students, and Mehlville and Kirkwood for students from Riverview Gardens
On Thursday, about 250 students from the Riverview Gardens district boarded buses for the first day of classes at Mehlville, a drive of more than 20 miles. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that the new students received a warm greeting at an Oakville High School assembly.
Senior Veronica Lewis, a St. Louis resident who has attended Mehlville schools since sixth grade as part of a voluntary desegregation program, said the new students will be embraced.
"A lot of them are scared that we're going to hate them or judge them," she said. "That's not the case."
The school district created a 2-minute YouTube video in which band members, school leaders, teachers and the principal greeted "all our friends at Riverview Gardens. We've got just one thing to say: welcome."

When the game is in round 13, means it's the last round, the transcendence, and in turn the beginning of a new cycle that will come in the next round, the Magnetic tone round that is characterized by gathering the Purpose.
Participants will have "Synchronized Time" if at the end of round 13 the time has not reached the end of its own line.
Participants may play the amount of 13 rounds set's as often as they wish.
In this synchronometer, the level 13 - Transcendency - endures the existence in the presence of love.
6/7: In this synchronometer, we have level 11 - Liberation - loosen up limitations, beliefs and boundaries, we are truly free. The level 12 - Cooperation - require one not to be rigid or want to control the outcome.
5/7: O Adversário
The Opponent: On the other side is the power that exists and we can control with our strategy in the game, or our conscience in life. Time has a base speed and depending on the progress of the moves, it can decrease or increase speed. Interests that he can walk slowly or even stop, but in it there is a factor of free will that is released by a dice. The dice will tell us how time moves and how it will interfere with the energy and power of the players.
In this synchronometer, at level 9 - Intent - the purpose of the action is set in motion, there is clarity in the movement where it comes and where it goes. At level 10 - Perfection - faces the paths and overcomes obstacles; accesses to the freedom and power to express their full capabilities.
4/7:::: Playing Symbology:
On the board cycle consisting of 13 rounds, according to the 13 levels of creation, all players will play at once, starting by the label of the first tone of your Spell Wave, this year. Everyone plays using the available energy. The cd rotates in one direction inside of labels and portals, which gives them the possibility of obtaining energy or powers that can be used to "Controlling the Time". However, as life is a constant exchange and learning as well as in the game, getting those powers and energy sometimes lead to having to overcome one of 5 types of challenges that generate direct interaction between participants: one Joke, one Rhythm, one Wisdom, a Mime, one Know Who I Am!
In this synchronometer, level 7 - Canalization - motivates and search efficiency, inspires and creates, and tunes the service and action. At level 8 - Congruence - the action takes shape, ties qualify senses of reverence for life
3/7 :::: The Tottem:
In the game there are light beings, who are symbols represented by forest animals, which we identify with the universal elements: snake to the ground, monkey to the fire, the wolf to the ether, the eagle to the air, the fish to water. In the background, elements that represent the absolute power of the Great Mother Nature and powers conferred herein represent us access to more energy, align the level of time and rounds to advance players (jump in Spell Wave time cycle). In this synchronometer, level 5 - Action - brings together the resources and radiates from the center, causes wave effect. The level 6 - Balance – organizes equality and moderates the difficulties.
2/7 :::: We are one!
In the game Symbology, there are "energy levels" to make the plays, and the energy of each palyer is at the same time the energy of all. Every time one spends energy on certain strategic choice on the board, also spends the global as if all participants were single players.
In this synchronometer, level 3 - Service - unifies action and reaches the goal, help and support. Level 4 - Definition - decides how to act and take action, presupposes openness and trust.
1/7 :::: What is the game Symbology?
The game is a metaphor for how life would be in Zion, without competition and in harmony, in which the only obstacle is awareness of time and how it affects us when we are stronger or weaker physically and emotionally. In the game, the life of each participant will be able to intervene directly in the power the group has to control the "Time Energy". Each will have the opportunity to start according to his own energy and initial label of Spell Wave cycle. In this synchronometer, level 1 - Purpose - unifies a reason that drives us to achieve certain goal. Level 2 - Righteousness - it identifies the challenge and distinguishes which play allows you to have more impact on time.

The fate of the Northwest salmon may be decided by the way you use your heater and your air conditioner.
In the near future, the U.S. electric grid will be able to digitally manage the vast Northwest hydroelectric network in a way unimaginable just a few years ago. With consent from customers, it will be able to adjust the heaters and air conditioners of millions of homes and buildings, or tap into the batteries of electric cars or other smart appliances.
It's a revolutionary change for the Northwest economy, the energy market, and the Columbia Basin dam system and the salmon that migrate through it.
The four dams of the Snake River in Washington are less valuable now due to a power surplus caused by wildly successful energy-efficiency programs, cheap natural gas, and rapidly growing wind and solar energy options.
The dams hinder the salmon that spawn in the best habitat in the Northwest — in Central Idaho. And this stronghold has the highest, coolest mountain streams that may keep salmon surviving in a warmer, drier future.
Twenty years ago, arguments against breaching those dams centered around the loss of crucial power supplied to the region. But as the role of the dams in the Northwest hydrosystem changes, so does their role in the political and environmental ecosystem. As the four lower Snake dams become less relevant pieces of a larger, flexible network, they become more vulnerable.
The future of the Northwest's hydroelectric system will be to augment the ever-growing supply of intermittent low-carbon energy sources like wind and solar. It also will continue to play a crucial role as quick-response electricity at times of peak demand.
But the dams still have strong political and cultural pull. Wheat farmers in Idaho and eastern Washington still depend on shipping their grain and staying competitive in the Asian markets even though shipping on the Snake has dropped more than 70 percent since 1998.
Independent biologists say the $16 billion spent over the past two decades is not enough to offset the effects of the dams and climate change on wild salmon and steelhead. And some already argue that the savings from removing the four dams on the lower Snake River and spending less to mitigate the damage to salmon exceeds the dams' benefit to the electric grid and economy.
If the four dams are less important to the Northwest electric grid, argues Ben Otto, a Boise lawyer and environmentalist who chairs the Northwest Energy Coalition, they are more critical than ever to the Idaho salmon that migrate down and up the Snake River.
"Removing these dams is very important to allowing salmon a chance to move freely between the habitat they need to live," Otto said.
The 1,000 megawatts the four dams produce annually – enough to supply the city of Seattle – are mostly produced in the spring, when water is plentiful but electric demand and prices are low. The Bonneville Power Administration pays wind producers to turn off their generators at times of surplus power in the spring.
The greatest value these four run-of-the-river dams provide is "sustained peaking capacity," which means the ability to meet energy needs for four to eight hours when a cold spell or heat wave produces a big surge.
The region is forecast by 2021 to have a shortage, which makes the grid less reliable due to the planned closing of coal-fired power plants in Oregon, Washington and Montana. Removing the four lower Snake dams would make the system slightly less reliable, said John Fazio, an energy analyst with the Northwest Power Planning and Conservation Council.
But the council, an eight-member panel appointed by the governors of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana to advise the BPA, says in its latest plan that 3,500 megawatts will be available as demand-response technology develops, enough to keep the system safe.
A series of digitally connected buildings, for instance, could have their thermostats raised or lowered by half a degree or more to reduce the peak demand load when needed. The same technique can be used when the wind doesn't blow or clouds cover solar generators.
The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's many scientists are helping develop new technologies, including storage batteries that can make the region's renewable energy meet the same need.
"The reality is we just aren't there yet where we can replace baseload hydroelectric power," said David Reeploeg, the council's vice president for federal programs.
But Otto and other green energy supporters say that could change within the next decade, and they are confident the current system can be reliable without the four Snake dams.
The Columbia River system once sustained 8 million to 16 million salmon returning annually. But 150 years of overfishing, habitat destruction, dam building and water pollution took its toll. By 1995, less than 800,000 returned, and Columbia Basin salmon were listed under the Endangered Species Act.
Three federal judges since 1994 ordered the BPA, the Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation to take increasingly stronger steps to reduce or offset the effects of the dams on salmon.
U.S. District Judge Michael Simon has now ordered the agencies to conduct a new environmental review and plan, with an immediate plan for operating the dams due by 2018 and a final decision on a long-term plan by 2021. Simon said that plan must include a review of keeping or breaching the four Snake dams, the latter being an option that many scientists argue is the best way to rescue those imperiled salmon. The four dams are Ice Harbor, built in 1961; Lower Monumental, built in 1969; Little Goose, built in 1970; and Lower Granite, built in 1975.
As the court cases have crept along, technology, politics and money have transformed the electrical grid that serves as the foundation of the Pacific Northwest's $820 billion economy. The transformation goes well beyond the growth of renewable energy sources and replacing coal with cheap natural gas.
"The industry is going through a fundamental change and nothing is standing still," said Shauna McReynolds, executive director of Pacific Northwest Utilities Conference Committee. "Environmental policies and other policies are driving the industry like they never have before."
Will Hart, executive director at Idaho Consumer-Owned Utilities Association, represents 130,000 Idahoans who get all or part of their electricity from the federal dams. He points to two reasons they remain a public good: the carbon they avoid and the historic returns of mostly hatchery salmon.
"I see a future for those dams," he said.
He thinks the 30 percent of his customers' power bills that go to salmon costs have been worth the price. But Jim Waddell, a retired U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manager who led the last environmental review of the four dams, in 2002, said the costs for those dams far outweigh the benefits.
"For every dollar the taxpayers and the ratepayers invest in these four dams, they get back 15 cents," Waddell said.
We're losing 85 cents for every dollar we spend on these dams.
Jim Waddell, a retired U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manager
Elliott Mainzer is the administrator of the BPA, the agency that markets the power from 31 federal dams in the Columbia Basin. Mainzer has to determine whether there are savings on salmon-preservation programs and other measures that would balance the loss of the four dams' flexibility. But he's not ready to contemplate a Northwest without the dams.
"This is an evolutionary process," he said, "and there is a lot of runway ahead of us."
But there's no denying the technology that is creating new energy markets and new ways to balance the electric grid. Today, big dams such as Grand Coulee in Washington state, with its massive reservoir behind it, keep the amount of power in the grid stable by instantly producing power when it's needed.
But that is changing. In the future, the grid will be stabilized by "demand response management" — turning millions of interconnected appliances and ACs on and off, and tapping batteries in electric cars and other sources.
This transformation presents major challenges for the BPA, which has extensive investments in existing energy infrastructure that keep power flowing reliably to customers such as Weiser Mayor Diana Thomas.
Weiser, a city-owned utility that serves 2,800 residents, buys its power from BPA, which is required by law to sell power to public utilities and rural cooperatives at cost. That cost has historically been among the lowest in the nation, and that helps communities attract and keep industry, Thomas said, while keeping costs low for schools and the town's hospital.
"That's huge to have that savings," Thomas said.
Bonneville's hydroelectricity is no longer automatically the cheapest available to its traditional customers. That's because the huge growth of wind, solar and other renewable energy sources, along with cheap natural gas prices, has cut BPA's opportunity to sell its surplus power to California and other utilities at a profit. BPA has historically used those profits to offset the cost of salmon and other wildlife programs that the agency funds.
Bonneville has raised its wholesale rates for utilities like Weiser's more than 7 percent over the past year to about $33.75 per megawatt-hour. It has proposed even higher rates for 2018, including a surcharge to pay for water the federal judge has ordered it to "spill" over the dams to keep migrating salmon away from hydroelectric turbines.
Meanwhile, the market rate for electricity keeps falling and is expected to be below $20 a megawatt-hour this year. That will make some of Bonneville's larger customers consider different suppliers when their contracts come up again in 2028.
Mainzer is confident BPA can remain competitive in the changing energy market.
"Part of what our customers are asking is, 'help us adapt to those changes,' " Mainzer said. "We need to leverage the tools of the modern energy economy and see if we can make them work for us."
It's important to the Northwest that BPA survive, because it is the agency with the money and wherewithal to finance programs to restore salmon and fish habitat, its supporters say. Among the frequent threats to the agency are proposals, like one floated by the Trump administration, to privatize BPA's transmission grid. Similar efforts by Republican administrations dating to President Ronald Reagan have been quashed by Northwest senators from both parties.
Rocky Barker: 208-377-6484, @RockyBarker
What is the Bonneville Power Administration?
The BPA is the agency created in 1937 to market power to the residents, businesses and communities of the Pacific Northwest. It delivers energy worth $1.9 billion annually to electric cooperatives, public utility districts and municipal electric utilities. It sells power from 31 federal dams and one nuclear power plant in Washington, providing 28 percent of the power to the region. It also pays for protection, mitigation, and enhancement of fish and wildlife. Its power avoids $1.4 billion worth, or 40 million tons, of carbon emissions. The agency also promotes energy efficiency, renewable resources and new technologies.
The Trump administration wants to sell off its transmission system. What would that do?
BPA operates three-fourths of the high-voltage transmission in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, western Montana and small parts of eastern Montana, California, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming. The system spans 300,000 square miles and includes more than 15,000 miles of lines and 299 substations, which were financed with federal dollars but are paid for by local electric customers.
The Trump administration proposed as a part of its 2018 budget to sell off BPA's transmission assets, raising $4.9 billion for the U.S. Treasury from 2018-27. The Public Power Council, which represents most of its direct customers, opposes the sale, saying it would increase costs for Northwest residents and sell off what they have paid for.
What are the chances this would happen?
Not good. Since 1981 Republican administrations have repeatedly proposed privatizing BPA in some form or another, but the bipartisan efforts of the Northwest congressional delegation have prevented the idea from going anywhere.
Editor's note
The Northwest has yet to figure out a sustainable plan to save imperiled Columbia salmon. This is part two of a series exploring whether salmon can ultimately survive.
By treating salmon as a commodity and not focusing on protecting and connecting the ecosystems where they live, salmon managers and dam operators have failed to tap the productive resiliency of these remarkably adaptable fish.

Bahrain's king says political reforms on right track following Shiite uprising
MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) ' Bahrain's king said Tuesday the Gulf nation has made progress enacting political reforms in response to the uprising by the country's Shiite majority for more rights.
King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa said improvements have been made to the security forces and the judicial system after international investigators criticized them in a report on the unrest.
The monarch's comments were part of his speech on Bahrain's efforts to implement the report's recommendations, aimed at encouraging reconciliation between Shiites and a Sunni minority that rules the tiny but strategically important island that is home to the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet.
"We praise the efforts of the government and its hard work and seriousness in implementing the recommendations to the best standards possible," the king said, adding that the opposition, too, has the responsibility to "do their part to participate and support democratic practices in accordance with the law."
At least 45 people have been killed during months of anti-government demonstrations and harsh crackdowns. Hundreds of opposition supporters have been detained and tried in a special court, including dozens of doctors and nurses who treated injured protesters.
Shiites account for about 70 percent of Bahrain's population of some 525,000 people, but they say they have faced decades of discrimination and are blocked from top political and security posts.
Since the revolt erupted some 13 months ago, the Sunni rulers have promised reforms, although they have refused to make the far-reaching changes the protesters have demanded. These include an elected government and an end to the monarchy's power to set key state policies.
Street battles between security forces and protesters still take place almost every day around the island nation that has been the Gulf's hardest hit country by the Arab Spring protests.
The opposition demands that authorities release all political prisoners before talks on ending the uprising.
Among those they want freed are activists and opposition figures who have been tried in a special security court and jailed on anti-state offenses. The opposition also insists that all Shiites purged from jobs during crackdown be reinstated.
Bahrain's leaders have taken steps to restore dismissed workers from state-run and private companies. The heavily criticized security court that was set up during last year's emergency rule has been disbanded, and all protest-related trials transferred to civilian courts.
On Tuesday, 20 medical professionals convicted of anti-state crimes and sentenced to five to 15 years in prison were back in court for a hearing during their retrial in a criminal court.

|Expectations theories of asset returns may be interpreted either as stating that risk premia are zero or that they are constant through time. Under the former interpretation, different versions of the expectations theory of the term structure are inconsistent with one another, but I show that this does not necessarily carry over to the constant risk premium interpretation of the theory. I present a general equilibrium example in which different types of risk premium are constant through time and dependent only on maturity. Furthermore, I argue that differences among expectations theories are second-order effects of bond yield variability. I develop an approximate linearized framework for analysis of the term structure in which these differences disappear, and I test its accuracy in practice using data from the CRSP government bond tapes.

The Body Shop Camomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover Review
You know your Muse she's every always searching out the next best thing. This week I've been mucking about with The Body Shop Camomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover. I've ever always looking for an inexpensive way to remove my eye makeup. Something that works really well at removing everything and anything.
So far I have a few great removers in my arsenal but I'm always on the prowl for something new.
That's where The Body Shop Camomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover comes into play.
Jump for it.
This one takes care of the cheap as it's $14.50 for over an 8 oz bottle, likey! It also works pretty fantastic on removing heavy eye makeup, so far so good.
The formula is a very gentle remover. It's a watery texture that's slightly sudsy. The benefits of use are no foggy vision after use and no stinging or burning. It's quite cooling, very refreshing, and quite gentle to my eyes.
Now removal is surprising as it does a fine job of removing my heavier eye makeup. I'm surprised as normally a formula such as this would have a bit of a difficult time getting it all off but it performs fairly well at removing everything. I struggled a little bit with waterproof mascara but whatever I didn't get off ended up coming off with my oil cleanser so I'm not complaining.
It's large size and small price tag appeals to me and I'm definitely leaning towards a repurchase once I'm done with this. It performed very well but just needed a little work in the waterproof department.
Anyone use this?
Loves it?
Leaves it?
Tell the Muse!

If you possess an analytical mind and the steely resolve to read financial markets and make confident decisions, you will excel as a trader
As a financial trader, you will buy and sell shares, bonds and assets for investors, including individuals and banks. You'll make prices and execute trades, seeking to maximise assets or minimise financial risk.
Types of financial trader
There are three types of trader:
- Flow traders - buy and sell products on the financial markets for the bank's clients. Products include securities and other assets such as futures, options and commodities.
- Proprietary traders - trade on behalf of the bank itself.
- Sales traders - take instructions directly from clients, placing orders and advising them on market developments and new financial ventures. They are intermediaries between the client and the market maker.
Traders may specialise in a particular product, such as shares, fixed-interest bonds or foreign exchange (FX) markets.
Following the financial crisis in 2008, the Independent Commission on Banking issued the Vickers report, which recommended that banks should 'ring-fence' high street baking businesses from their investment banking arms, in order to prevent another taxpayer bailout of the system. This could curtail proprietary trading but banks have until 2019 to implement the changes.
While there are many similarities in the work of flow and proprietary traders and those working in sales, their roles differ substantially. The main difference is risk - sales traders do not take risk while flow and proprietary traders take risks seeking reward.
Work activities of a flow or proprietary trader typically include:
- speaking with colleagues, making phone calls and making instant decisions;
- making prices in their relevant products;
- executing trades electronically or by phone;
- liaising with sales traders or clients on market movements;
- predicting how markets will move and buying and selling accordingly (especially derivatives traders who try to predict the state of a market at a future date);
- informing all relevant parties of the most relevant trades for the day;
- gathering information - critically about mispriced assets, detailed data analysis and valuation.
Traders in sales are more focused on the relationships with clients. They analyse and market new financial offers that they believe will be attractive to their clients.
The day-to-day activities of a sales trader may include:
- gathering information and analysing the market;
- carrying out detailed data analysis and valuation;
- providing in-depth market reports;
- identifying issues affecting clients;
- developing client relationships and presenting ideas to clients;
- executing trades and securing deals with new clients;
- keeping market-making traders informed of relevant issues with their customers and products;
- obtaining market prices from market-making traders and executing the trade.
- Typical starting salaries for trainee financial traders can range from around £26,000 to £32,000, plus commission.
- The range of salaries for experienced traders is between £45,000 and £150,000+.
- An associate trader with experience selling credits could earn around £140,000 in a top-tier bank or £230,000 if they work in more lucrative derivatives.
Very high earnings are possible, especially for proprietary traders, who are often paid a bonus equivalent to a proportion of the profits made. However, EU regulations, which came into force in 2014, limit bonuses in banking to no more than 200% of salary.
Additional benefits, such as non-contributory pension schemes and mortgage subsidies, are common.
Income figures are intended as a guide only.
Working hours
With experience, working hours are typically 7am to 6.30pm but may be considerably longer for newcomers. Foreign exchange (FX) is 6.30am to 5pm. Oil can be 8am to 6.30pm or 9.30am to 8pm.
Part-time work is not feasible, although job sharing is possible and career breaks are becoming more common.
What to expect
- The work is office based and the vast majority of opportunities are in London.
- Self-employment or freelance work is unusual without years of experience.
- The work is demanding and trading can be hectic. Managing large amounts of other people's money is not a career for the faint-hearted.
- Overseas travel is occasionally required and, depending on the client base, is likely at least once a month for traders in sales.
Although this area of work is open to all graduates, a degree in the following subjects may increase your chances:
- accountancy;
- business;
- economics;
- finance;
- maths;
- politics;
- sciences.
Entry standards are high, usually requiring a minimum 2:1 degree, and the selection process is demanding. An assessment may include interviews and psychometric tests, sometimes all in one day.
Foreign language skills are an advantage as banks are expanding globally, not just in Europe but also in Asia and Latin America.
Entry without a degree or HND is difficult, although it may be possible to enter the industry in administrative roles, make contacts, and eventually move into trader positions.
You will need to have:
- strong numeracy skills;
- excellent communication and interpersonal skills;
- teamworking ability;
- physical and mental stamina;
- independent thinking;
- an interest in finance and the financial markets;
- integrity;
- alertness and decisiveness under pressure;
- ability to accept responsibility.
Work experience
Pre-entry experience is not needed but vacation work, internships or placements will give you an advantage. For further information see individual company websites.
Major investment banks recruit graduate trainees and offer internships or work experience; some offer 'insight' days for first-year students. Closing dates are normally in late October and early November for opportunities starting in the following summer or autumn. Banks may start to fill positions once applications open so you are strongly advised to apply early.
Most traders work in the City, which describes the UK financial services sector rather than a physical place.
The City is made up of a number of financial institutions involved in banking, asset management, insurance, and services to business.
Major institutions include:
There are also a number of market institutions, such as:
In addition to this, there are thousands of firms, which include insurance companies, investment houses and financial advisers.
The vast majority of traders are employed by investment banks. An investment bank is usually a financial house whose role is to finance the trading and commercial activities of others and themselves. The major investment banks have offices in financial centres throughout the world.
Investment banks have a high profile in the City and recruit significant numbers of graduates during peaks in the economic cycle. There is keen competition between investment banks and selection is equally rigorous.
Specialist investment management firms employ a small number of traders. Treasury departments of very large companies may employ a few traders, but this is less common.
Look for job vacancies at:
Most vacancies are filled via specialist recruitment agencies, by word-of-mouth and through speculative applications.
Networking and following up contacts can be useful in finding jobs. Check with your university careers service for a list of past students working in the industry who are happy to be contacted. Ask your family, friends and associates to see if anyone can put you in touch with someone working in the field.
Competition for entry is intense. Generally, vacancies are limited and the entry standards are consistently high. Not all jobs may be advertised so it is advisable to write speculative applications, expressing your interest and your suitability should a post arise, and enclose an informative, targeted CV.
Persistence is essential. You must be able to promote yourself effectively and give evidence of the reasons you believe you will be successful in this career. Read the financial press, attend presentations and do thorough research about potential employers and the opportunities they offer.
Get more tips on how to find a job, create a successful CV and cover letter, and prepare for interviews.
Professional development
Training is provided on the job and is often organised on a rotational desk basis. This usually consists of shadowing a more senior trader to watch what is going on and to learn the trading language (how to phrase questions and trades).
This training is supplemented by lectures, seminars and conferences. If traders are specialising in a product for a specific country, language training is frequently provided.
Before traders conduct any business, they must qualify to be placed on the Stock Exchange's list of people who are eligible to trade. You are required to become an approved person by the FCA.
Relevant FCA approved qualifications for traders, e.g. the International Certificate in Wealth and Investment Management, which is assessed by a multiple-choice examination, is offered by the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI). Traders often have to take the examinations relevant to other European exchanges. Those choosing to do further study often go on to the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Institute to complete the CFA programme.
Most firms pay for examinations, but individuals are expected to contribute a lot of self-study time. Graduate trainees are expected to learn quickly from other traders when starting out and need to be prepared to take on some menial tasks, such as data analysis and administrative duties, to assist other traders.
Career prospects
Generally, new entrants are considered as 'trainees' for the first two years. After that time it is likely that you'll move up to the next level, provided your performance is satisfactory.
Once operational, traders who have completed their certificate-level qualification from the CISI may take the CISI Diploma or, more often, the CFA programme from the Chartered Financial Analyst Institute.
Although different banks have different job titles, promotion is generally structured in the following way:
- graduate trainee;
- analyst or trader;
- associate;
- senior associate;
- vice president or executive director;
- managing director.
It would be normal for traders to reach associate level about two to three years after their graduation. After associate level, the numbers able to reach executive director level are significantly lower. If you have proved yourself after about five years, it is usual to be given responsibility for a small team, possibly two or three small teams, and then to head up a new desk trading a new product or in a new country.
Regular moves between banks are possible at all levels, although such moves are more common from associate level and above. As many trading banks are international, there are opportunities to work in other locations and countries.
