Global Wind Day is a worldwide event that occurs annually on 15 June. It is a day for discovering wind, its power and the possibilities it holds to change our world.
In more than 75 countries around the world, wind farms are in operation, generating energy from a clean and renewable source.
Thousands of individuals are involved in the production of energy from the wind, but for many people, wind energy is a mystery. Global Wind Day is the day when you can visit wind farms, meet experts, attend events, take actions to support wind energy and find out everything you want to know about wind energy.
The European Wind Energy Association – EWEA – and the Global Wind Energy Council – GWEC – coordinate the Global Wind Day through a network of partners. The day started as a European one in 2007 and went Global in 2009. On 15 June, hundreds of public events are organised all over the world.
What happened last year?
More than 230 events were organised in 40 countries all around the globe.
Find out more in our 2012 report.

1987 Buick Grand National
Kent and Marcie Buckles De Soto, IL
Though new compared to the muscle cars of the '60s, these Buicks have earned their place as classics. Kent and Marcie Buckles' '87 Grand National is a great example of a car that's been modified but is still true to its original style. The Buick Grand National could be ordered in any color as long as it was black, so Kent kept it that way with the addition of custom "Stroker" logos in place of the factory emblems. The 231ci V-6 (now stroked to an unspecified displacement) uses custom CP pistons, a custom camshaft, and ported factory heads. There isn't much that Kent hasn't changed out on this car. He re-covered every interior surface at his shop, appropriately named Buckles Motorsports. He took the Grand National and Stroker logos throughout the interior and trunk inner panels, giving it a cohesive theme. Kent and his wife, Marcie, love this car, and they aren't alone. In the 12 shows attended last year, Kent won four Best of Show awards. He won Best Engine, one Big Dog award, and a score of 97 out of 100 in Bowling Green's GS Club of America show.
1972 Chevy El Camino
Steve Turtle Santa Clarita, CA
Steve Turtle has been an El Camino fan since he was 6 years old. Uncle Eddie had a '66 big-block four-speed that was the epitome of muscle to Steve. It's easy to guess that Steve's first car would be an El Camino. The first was a '65, next came a '67, and the latest two were '72s. He has built a majority of these cars himself but this particular one was an abandoned project he found with a price he couldn't pass up. Though it could be considered "done" to someone else, Steve had to employ his own plan for it. The big-block Chevy has a COMP cam, Edelbrock intake, and a Holley 850-cfm carburetor. The drivetrain and suspension had been upgraded as well with a 3.91-gear 12-bolt, TH400, and has been lowered 2 inches. Next on his list is to bolt on a supercharger to make real use of the Mickey Thompson tires stuffed into the tubbed rear.
1969 Chevy Camaro
Jeff James Somewhere In Germany
Military man Jeff James had to travel far to pick up the '69 Camaro he has always wanted. Only a quarter-way through his four-hour trip home from picking it up, he was asked to sell it. Of course he declined. The first thing he did when he got home was to give the '69 a thorough inspection. He found that he was in store for much more work than he originally believed. Someone had welded quarter-panels right over the rusty originals and blended in the mistake with an inch of filler. Jeff had every panel but the 2-inch cowl hood replaced, including the roof. Jeff built a 496 big-block stroker with a COMP Mutha Thumpr cam, AFR 325cc heads, and an Eagle rotating assembly to produce 9.1:1 compression, and got it to clear the cowl hood with a 3-inch air cleaner. He wanted this engine to run effortlessly on pump gas. Jeff's wife, Tina, played a big role in the build, helping Jeff stay on track and even choose the color. They wanted a car they could enjoy driving, so they opted for a T56 six-speed with a hydraulic clutch setup from ATS. Being stationed in Germany, Jeff and Tina have access to some of the most legendary roads in the world, including the Autobahn, Nrburgring, and Hockenheimring. They've already hit the Autobahn, the 'Rings are next!
1965 Ford Mustang
Chris Spicer Austin, TX
This '65 Mustang has been in Chris Spicer's family since the early '70s. His grandfather bought it for Chris' mom and aunt to drive around while they were in high school. Mom was in a little accident, so grandpa confiscated the car and parked it for 10 years. He would start to tinker with it again and take Chris for rides once in a while. This jump-started Chris' interest in Mustangs. That's when Chris bought, built, and raced a 600hp '97 Mustang Cobra, and restored a '93 Fox-body Mustang with grandpa's inspiration. In 2005, the '65 was handed down to Chris. Conveniently, Chris worked for a classic Mustang restoration company so he could get right to work on this sentimental piece. He sold both his other Mustangs in order to re-create and preserve his new old car. The factory small-block made way for a 347ci stoker putting out 450 hp. Chris put in a C4 automatic and 9-inch rearend to support the new power. He has a lot more to do but he wants to keep the car looking as factory as he can so he's keeping the bench seat and the carburetor.

There's a camera show going down in Anaheim right now, and with it has come a whole mess of budget cameras. GE put a few more on the growing pile today, including additions to its entry-level Power Series point-and-shoots.
The blue example above is the waterproof G5WP, set to ship later this year for $180. Inside the dry casing are 12.2MP; an array of colors so long as you want red, blue or gray; and 4x internal zoom.
The X5 model boosts the zoom up to 15x and maxes out at ISO 3200 (cost: $150). Both cameras should arrive about the same in Q2 2010.
The Power Series received two additions today: The E1486TW and E1480W, checking in at $180 and $150, respectively. The two cameras include HD video, optical image stabilization, and 8x optical zoom. [PR Newswire]

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran says it will deploy two warships into the Bab el-Mandeb strait and the Gulf of Aden, making the announcement just hours after a U.S. missile strike on Yemen.
The semi-official Tasnim news agency announced Thursday the movement of the Alvand and the Bushehr.
It described the maneuver as part of a regular antipiracy patrol off Yemen and East Africa.
But the announcement came just after the U.S. carried out strikes for the first time against Yemen's Shiite Houthi rebels, who are supported by Iran. The American strikes hit three radar facilities belonging to the Houthis after missile fire from rebel-held areas hit near the USS Mason, a U.S. warship deployed off Yemen.

Gartner, for the third year in a row, has positioned Microsoft in the Leader Quadrant in the 2016 Magic Quadrant for Public Cloud Storage. Only Microsoft and AWS remain as Leaders in the report, both having moved up and to the right since 2015. The report states that hyperscale cloud providers are dominating the market for public cloud storage in terms of product innovation, scale and revenue, and that by 2019, at least one-fourth of the vendors in this Magic Quadrant will have exited the cloud storage market. Gartner advises, "customers should be wary of using providers that lack meaningful scale and global presence due to slow product innovation and the realistic possibility of service closure. Microsoft is a leader across other recent cloud MQs (Cloud Infrastructure as a Service, Application Platform as a Service, Identity as a Service, Disaster Recovery as a Service), which we believe validates strong enterprise cloud leadership.*

University Experience Day - 9 August 2012
28 August 2012
Once again the combined efforts of many of the University's faculties and schools created a memorable and powerful experience for high school students from throughout NSW. The 2012 University Experience Day, established by the University's Social Inclusion Unit and The Smith Family, is a chance for Year 9 and 10 students from as far as the south and central coast to come to campus learn about university in an active and practical way.
Now in its fourth year, the University Experience Day has quadrupled in size since 2009, and the 400 students chose from over 21 activities for their morning and afternoon 'classes'. The Faculty of Engineering and Information Technologies appealed to students' creative and scientific capacities in its prosthesis design challenge, while the University of Sydney Business School's 'Speaking Like an Accountant' workshop emphasized the role of words as well as numbers in the careers of future accountants. Sydney Conservatorium of Music staff introduced students not only to some beautiful instruments, but also to the possibilities of technology such as the iPad in writing songs.
Dreams and ambition were the theme of the day, with Michael Regan, NSW Regional Program Manager of The Smith Family, reminding students to include sandstone universities like Sydney in their visions of the future. 4th year physiotherapy student James Cosentino spoke to students in the Great Hall about the importance of following their own passions, despite the competing demands of parent and peer expectations. And on the Front Lawns, students added their aspirations to a giant message board titled "If I could be anything in the world, what would it be?" The stamps of the future neurosurgeons, lawyers, politicians, archaeologists and Shakespeare scholars will now be placed in the NSW offices of The Smith Family, while the students themselves return to their schools to study, more energised and emboldened about the possibilities of higher education in their future.
See photos and a video of the University Experience Day!

NEW YORK, June 24 (UPI) -- Handwritten lyrics for Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" sold for $2 million at a Sotheby's auction in New York on Tuesday.
Dylan wrote the 1965 classic, dubbed Rolling Stone magazine's Greatest Song of All Time, on four pages of hotel stationary.
Sotheby's did not reveal the name of the lyrics' new owner. The California man who put the lyrics up for auction was described as someone "who met his hero in a non-rock context and bought [the lyrics] directly from Dylan."
The auction was part of a collection called "Rock and Roll History: From Presley to Punk.", which included a Jimmy Hendrix contract, John Lennon's piano and Elvis Presley's peacock jumpsuit.

12 large white mushrooms
2 tsp. oil
pinch salt
1 Tbsp. white wine
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. minced ginger
2 cloves, ground
3 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 cup thinly sliced cabbage
1 cup thinly sliced zucchini
4 cups vegetable broth
4 oz. extra firm tofu
1 bunch scallions, white and light green parts sliced
Wash the mushrooms and slice as thinly as possible. Cook mushrooms with a pinch of salt in oil over high heat until golden, about 8 minutes. Don't loose your nerve and take them out too soon!

Add soy sauce, cloves, cabbage and zucchini and cover. Cook over low heat about 5 minutes, until vegetables start to wilt. Cut tofu into small dice. Add broth and tofu to vegetables and simmer 10 minutes. Return mushrooms to broth, add scallions and serve.

2008 Pontiac G6 Reviews and Ratings
Coupe 2D GXP
Expert Reviews
The Pontiac G6 is a midsize car available as sleek two-door coupe, a dramatic folding hardtop convertible, and an attractive four-door sedan. They offer a choice of V6s, and the sedan is available with a four-cylinder engine.
We find the G6 GT models have good road manners even when driven hard, benefits of the long wheelbase and European-designed architecture. This is based on test drives of the G6 GT sedan, GT Convertible, and GXP coupe.
The price point makes the Pontiac G6 a popular choice as a mid-size sedan and we've found it roomy and plush with excellent overall function. The coupe is comfortable and sporty. And for a real open-top experience, the convertible features one of the longest retractable hardtop roofs in production.
The G6 offers some interesting features. It can be started remotely from the comfort of your home by pressing a button on the key fob, a luxury on bitter cold winter mornings or sweltering summer afternoons. A panoramic roof is available on sedans, with panels that slide rearward creating a sunroof large enough for the back seat riders to enjoy an open-air experience.
For 2008, the GTP sedan has been renamed the GXP. It features the same 252-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine with variable valve timing and six-speed automatic transmission. Additions for 2008 include a sport-tuned suspension, modified front and rear fascias, dual chrome exhaust tips and a leather interior.
For 2008, OnStar, side airbags and anti-lock brakes are standard equipment on all models. GT and GXP models come with XM Satellite Radio and an auxiliary input jack for iPod and other MP3 players. New 18-inch wheels are available for the GT convertible. A Street Edition is available, with hood scoops and spoiler.
The G6 was designed to offer a strong value among midsize cars, and we think it's an alternative worth considering.
The G6 sedan comes standard with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. Standard features on the Special Value model ($18,765) include air conditioning, tilt/telescopic steering wheel, power windows, door locks, andmirrors, stereo with CD player, OnStar, and 16-inch wheels with 215/60R16 tires. The base model ($20,290) adds cruise control, remote keyless entry and 17-inch wheels with 225/50R17 tires.
The GT sedan ($23,100), GT coupe ($23,100), and GT convertible ($30,210) come with a 3.5-liter V6 and . interior upgrades that include a four-way adjustable driver's seat with power height adjustment and a 200-watt Monsoon premium sound system.
The GXP sedan ($26,960) and GXP coupe ($26,755) feature a six-speed automatic transmission, sport-tuned suspension, modified front and rear fascias, dual chrome exhaust tips and a leather interior.
Options include adjustable pedals ($125), remote starter system ($190), and heated front seats ($250). The Preferred Package ($495) includes a cargo net, remote vehicle start, front and rear carpeted floor mats, trunk cargo net, leather-wrapped brake handle and shift knob, steering-wheel mounted audio controls and leather wrapped steering wheel. The Premium Package ($1,475) upgrades with leather-appointed front bucket seats (GT), leather-appointed front bucket seats with two-tone leather inserts (GXP), six-way driver seat adjuster (GT), heated driver and front passenger seats, remote vehicle start system, cargo net, front and rear carpeted floor mats and power adjustable pedals; and a Sun and Sound Package ($1,100), featuring a stereo with six-disc CD changer and power sunroof. Street Edition packages for the GT ($1,590) and GXP ($990) add hood scoops and spoilers.
Safety features that come on all models include driver and passenger frontal and side-impact airbags and ABS with traction control. OnStar is standard on all models, an excellent safety feature thanks to its ability to summon help.
The Pontiac G6 models are attractive cars. They have the smooth styling of the latest-generation Pontiacs, sharing cues with the Solstice roadster and other models and sort of a Lexus/Toyota look from the rear. The G6 offers clean, uncluttered lines that are quite pleasing.
A single spear runs down the sides of the G6 with an optional delicately integrated spoiler lip on the trailing edge of the decklid.
The GT and GXP sedans look similar, though the GXP features revised front and rear fascias. The base sedan has almost no decoration and looks relatively dull.
The coupe and convertible inject more excitement into the styling. The frameless windows are indexed, meaning that they automatically open 0.25 inch when the doors are opened, and close again when the door is closed for a tight seal. From the rear, the coupe and convertible feature narrow taillights and a sloping decklid.
The Pontiac G6 is built in Michigan, from parts and ideas used on the Saab 9-3, Opel Vectra, and Chevrolet Malibu.
The Pontiac G6 has a nice interior with attractive fabrics and comfortable bucket seats. At first, it has that tank-like Pontiac feeling of sitting down low in the cockpit, but that feeling goes away in time, and the G6 becomes a happy, comfortable companion. The cabin is altogether different from the old soft-plastic, fat-knob theme of older Pontiacs. It's much more modern, more European.
The sporty front bucket seats are made for body comfort and support in handling maneuvers. We found them very comfortable thanks to thick padding and sufficient bolsters.. Power adjustable pedals help drivers of all statures get properly positioned.
Rear-seat space benefits from the relatively long wheelbase of 112.3 inches. In the sedan, a 6-foot, 4-inch passenger can sit behind a 6-foot, 4-inch driver with plenty of room. Those with tall friends may want to remember that the panoramic sunroof is powered by a motor that takes up a big chunk of headroom at the trailing edge of the sedan's headliner.
The coupe's rear seating is a little tighter, and the convertible's tighter still, especially in the shoulder and hip room categories. The available rear bucket seats in the G6 convertible are appropriate because three people don't fit well anyway.
The dash is done in four major sections including a stark, ungrained plastic center stack that holds two vents, the sound system, heater controls, and a 12-volt power outlet. Instruments and controls are presented in white on black (illuminated in red at night). Every single knob and escutcheon has a chrome ring around it; very tasteful, and nicely presented, with small, conservative graphics on the faces and labels.
The center stack has a red-LED readout and control panel that makes it easy to use the sound system's features, as well as to customize the locking, lighting, and other functions. The trip computer and driver information system are likewise intuitive and enjoyable to use.
The audio system works well and the knobs are sized well for operating while driving, a welcome relief from the tiny buttons and knobs on many systems. However, we miss the smart pre-set buttons used on previous GM vehicles that let the driver switch from favorite AM, FM, and XM stations simply by pressing the pre-set; the new setup works like most radios, requiring the driver first change the band before switching to the favored station.
The remote starting system allows the driver to start the car from the warmth of the house on cold winter mornings, a welcome feature when needed.
The panoramic roof for the four-door sedan comes open in four stacking segments, front to rear, and has about twice as much open area as the conventional sunroof that's also available. It's remarkable how easily the panoramic roof works. Easy conversation is possible with it open, even at high road speeds. It's an interesting feature, and we recommend it.
The convertible's top was engineered with Karmann and the big top opens and closes within 30 seconds, storing under the truck lid and a hard tonneau cover. We found it works exceptionally well, powering up or down quietly and quickly, with the press of a button. Hold the button down after it's done and the windows will power up or down appropriately.
The convertible's trunk is accessible when the top is down, but space is reduced from tiny (5.8 cubic feet) to grocery-bag sized (1.8 cubic feet). The coupe offers 11 cubic feet of trunk space, while the sedan offers 14 cubic feet. Obviously, that can limit your use of the convertible's top-down mode on long trips.
The trunklid on the convertible was heavy and relatively hard to lift open.
The Pontiac G6 GT is fun to drive and quite pleasant for cruising around. We found the sedan, coupe and convertible models reasonably quiet, though a little noise from the powertrain and some road noise slipped in here and there, and there was some wind noise from the sharp-edged mirror bodies.
Handling is responsive and fun. The GT suspension strikes a good balance between handling and ride quality. The ride is comfortable and smooth and the car tracks well. The electric power steering is nicely weighted in terms effort at the steering wheel rim, but a little vague in fast transitions.
The EcoTec 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is from the same double overhead-cam engine family used in the Saab 9-3, Opel Vectra and Chevrolet Malibu. The 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is rated 169 horsepower, with 162 pound-feet of torque.
The popular 3.5-liter V6 is quiet and smooth, producing 224 horsepower and 220 lb.-ft. of torque. GM has refined this overhead-valve engine and it's relatively smooth and quiet withdecent fuel economy.
The more powerful 3.6-liter engine that comes in the GXP is an overhead-cam engine with variable-valve timing rated at 252 hp and251 lb.-ft. of torque.
The automatic transmission worked flawlessly. The four-speed automatic is matched well to the engine's power and torque bands. The six-speed works better. Most of the time, we simply put it in Drive and drove. However, the automatic features a simple manual-control mechanism that allows the driver to shift manually. When the manual mode is selected, it will not automatically upshift for you at redline but will go right up against the rev limiter, a strategy many enthusiasts prefer. An indicator light in the instrument panel helps remind you to shift.
We did a number of 90-0 mph ABS panic stops in a G6 GT on a deserted country road, and it stopped straight and true every time with no fade. The brakes have a nice, progressive power application through the pedal.
The Pontiac G6 is a roomy car that offers good road manners and excellent overall function, especially at initial prices. With sedans, coupes, convertibles, high-performance models, and a low-price leader all available, buyers should be able to find a G6 that suits their lifestyle.
NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Jim McCraw reported on the sedan from Detroit, with Mitch McCullough reporting on the coupe and convertible from Los Angeles.

At most agencies, printers waste money and open security holes. Managed services can help solve the problem.
Printers are the Rodney Dangerfield of information technology. They get no respect — at least when it comes to establishing IT investment priorities.
While the big bucks go to building green data centers and fiber-optic networks, many agencies have left their fleets of printers, scanners and copiers largely unnetworked and unmanaged. Agencies continue to do so even though, according to independent analysts, they could save at least 25 percent of their printing expenses by moving to managed print services. In some cases, the savings can be even greater.

Snazzy printer features could open Pandora's box
In addition to direct savings, some analysts estimate that organizations with managed print services can improve efficiency by 10 percent to 30 percent, through reduced tech support and help-desk calls, reduced paper flows, and other factors. You also can improve security by gaining greater control over printer access.
As agencies look to cut costs, improve efficiency, go green and improve security — and who isn't these days? — better management of printers is a tangible, low-hanging fruit that has largely gone ignored.
In a broad sense, the term "managed print services" simply means having a strategy to monitor and control the flow of documents and their output. That could, of course, be accomplished in-house with the right software and policy directives. But generally, adopting a managed print solution, or MPS, means turning to one of a handful of vendors that offer software designed for the job. Not surprisingly, the big players are also hardware vendors — Xerox, Lexmark, Canon, Hewlett-Packard, Ricoh and Toshiba — although their MPS offerings are largely hardware independent.
The potential benefits of an MPS are many.
For starters, after you network and monitor printers, you can easily track which individuals across an organization are printing. "You can get detailed statistics by user or by department, the amount of print volume, the amount of cost, [and] you can break it down by color and black-and-white," said Craig Le Clair, a senior analyst at Forrester Research, a consulting group. In addition to being an asset to any security effort, this capability can help administrators spot unusual usage patterns in an effort to control costs or environmental impact.
After analyzing usage patterns, administrators can deploy printers more effectively. For example, one recent study based on an informal survey of 30 companies found that there was one printer for every two or three workers rather than one for every eight to 10 workers, which MPS vendors cite as the ideal range. As a result, equipment has low utilization — on average about 15 minutes per day — even though the devices are consuming energy and budget dollars all day long.
And better deployment of printers could eliminate some printing altogether. Jim Joyce, senior vice president of Xerox, noted that many printed documents have a lifespan of only five minutes in many organizations. "If I do have to get up and walk eight, 12, 15 feet [to reach a printer], it's more likely I'm going to change my own process, and I'm going to be willing to look at the PDF on the screen and never print it," he said. "That saves a lot of money."
Administrators often can remotely manage centrally managed devices. Because the monitoring software can report the configuration and status of printers and multifunctional devices, technical support staff members don't need to embark on time-consuming trips to check devices.
John Whittaker, computer operations manager at the New York City Housing Authority, said that capability has been a major plus for his staff.
"For example, someone calls in and says they need more toner because their printer is printing too light," Whittaker said. "I can log in and take a look at the printer and see the toner level is still at 50 percent. I can tell them just to take it out, shake it up and put it back in again. I don't have to send somebody to go out and take a look at it physically."
One recent study found that technical support for printers without MPS accounts for nearly 30 percent of help-desk costs.
Support of devices also is more efficient when the fleet is more homogeneous, which happens naturally. Although MPS systems are designed to handle equipment from other vendors, organizations often choose replacement equipment from the MPS provider.
Vendors and analysts say centralized purchasing of devices and supplies across an organization also tends to work in an organization's favor.
Whittaker agreed. "During the last three-year contract, we saved about $1.2 million just on toner, just by virtue of eliminating people stocking up on toner that they may never use," he said.
He said that before adopting an MPS, the housing authority didn't know how many printers it had. "We didn't know where they were located, we didn't know the volume of printing being done on a monthly basis, we didn't know how many cartridges were in users' possession," he said. After implementing an MPS, the organization went from having about 1,300 printers to about 650 printers.
Hidden Obstacles
With such obvious benefits and increasingly tight budgets, one might think managed print solutions would be all the rage at federal agencies. But analysts and vendors say fewer than 10 percent of agencies have implemented an MPS.
"The majority are in an unmanaged state where they have distributed purchasing, and there's no real governance around use of the devices," Le Clair said.
So what's holding back adoption?
Experts cite four main factors: invisibility of the problem, distributed budgets and purchasing responsibilities, turf battles, and complex pricing schemes.
"Factor No. 1 is the [lack of] visibility of the problem," said Brian Henderson, director of federal consulting at Lexmark International. "The costs associated with printing are scattered around a bit. So when the agency looks at what it is spending on printing, it doesn't get a good feel for what the total expense is, including the devices, the toner, the maintenance, the IT support."
In short, with scattered costs, an organization might not know the magnitude of the problem or make fixing it a priority. Scattered costs also mean scattered responsibility.
"Problem No. 2 is the way budgets are allocated in federal agencies," Henderson said.
One department, such as the IT department, usually buys printers, but other departments or individual offices can purchase consumables. Yet another department could be responsible for buying copiers and fax machines.
"With budgets being distributed like that, if someone wanted to really employ print managed services, they would need to consolidate all those buckets together," Henderson said. "That is a very difficult step for the federal government to take."
The distributed nature of purchasing also means each department is making decisions based on limited information. When one department buys a printer, it might not be aware of the cost of maintenance, supplies and other hidden consumables, such as energy. "What they report as their cost of printer or copier device ownership is at least 30 to 40 percent understated, relative to the overall cost," Joyce said.
Joyce is blunt in his assessment of Problem No. 3 — federal resistance to an MPS. "It's factions inside the company that try to prevent these programs," he said. "It's…turf battles."
Pricing Problems
Le Clair said another major hurdle to implementing an MPS — Problem No. 4 — is the complexity and unfamiliarity of pricing models. A typical MPS contract includes a fixed charge for hardware and a per-click charge for services, including consumables and maintenance. And most contracts have different rates for different volumes of printing or scanning. But many agreements also factor in page coverage, or the amount pages that are covered with ink. In short, it can get complicated.
"At a lot of organizations, the people who get involved in these projects are used to doing pretty straightforward hardware purchases," Le Clair said. But MPS agreements can be anything but straightforward.
"The pricing can be challenging because if you build one of these agreements, you're going to be using some kind of price-per-image model based on a volume commitment," he said. "It's tricky to get the advantage of the volume you're committing to but not overreach and trigger a higher price."
Many organizations might not even have staff with the necessary experience to make such an agreement. "There's a lack of expertise," he said. "There is a whole level of complexity that is just being understood about how to devise these agreements."
Finally, Le Clair said, after an organization successfully moves to an MPS, it also needs to consider how that will affect the way people work. "It changes people's jobs," he said. "You have people who are responsible for some of these things, and now you're going to turn it over to an outside entity. So change management is an issue, and you have to get everyone on board. You need to have senior sponsorship, and you need to communicate broadly the goals."
In addition, the change depends on budget administration. "You're going to be including more discipline, which means pain," Le Clair said. "You're going to make somebody walk around the corner [to get to a printer] instead of having one on their desk. So you're making their life a little bit less comfortable. So you need to communicate that it's about more than just saving a few dollars."
Turning Point
Despite the obstacles to implementing an MPS, recent trends seem to favor a move in that direction.
First, technology has made an MPS easier to implement and more effective.
"In the last year, these devices have gotten so smart," Henderson said. "For example, you can program the device itself to scan a piece of paper to be able to read certain parts of that piece of paper to make decisions about where to route it. Or if it can't read the paper, maybe it's programmed in a way to know what to ask the user so that it knows what to do with the document. It's the intelligence of the device and the ability to move information quickly and easily."
Some vendors also point to the growing pressure on agencies to trim budgets and reduce environmental impacts. And with an MPS, Joyce said, "people have awakened to the fact that they don't have to give something up in order to achieve these benefits."
"It's a groundswell," he said. While noting that the federal sector is generally slower to move, he said his company is seeing growing adoption among state and local governments and school systems.
"We've got school systems that are out of money and are laying off teachers," Joyce said. "And we can tell them, 'You know what? If you just print a little better, you can save $8 million a year.'" And they are responding. "If you can refresh the client environment and bring in new technology that is environmentally sustainable and you still save money….what is the downside?"

Product promotion: When do emotional appeals trump celebrity spokespeople?
Emotional appeals could be more effective than celebrities when promoting products related to a consumer's identity, according to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research.
"Specific emotions can help consumers strengthen their identities by providing information about how to feel a particular identity, especially when emotions are associated with distinct patterns of action. Consumers tend to choose products that bolster emotions associated with a particular identity," write authors Nicole Verrochi Coleman (University of Pittsburgh) and Patti Williams (Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania).
Imagine you are selling a new energy drink targeted at two different groups of consumers—athletes and business people. Each group might respond very differently to the same upbeat and energetic appeal consistent with the product's benefits.
In one study, athletes chose to listen to "angry" music and indicated they would pay more to see "angry" bands in concert, while volunteers chose to listen to "sad" music and were willing to pay more to attend "sad" concerts. In another study, athletes found an advertisement more persuasive when the model's face in the ad expressed anger, while volunteers were more persuaded by a model with a sad face, and environmentalists by a model expressing disgust.
Consumers can benefit from matching their emotional experiences to their identity. For example, turning up some angry head banging music on the way to the gym might make you a better athlete, or listening to sad love songs on the way to the soup kitchen might make you a better volunteer.
"Identity-based marketing has generally used spokespeople but poor performance or personal issues can undermine a spokesperson's reputation and reflect poorly on a brand. However, companies can employ identity-based marketing without directly mentioning an identity by simply incorporating emotions related to that identity," the authors conclude.

In the last year, Compare Short Term Home Insurance in Sandton there has seemed, to be, one issue, after another, which brought with them, true controversy! We have witnessed partisan, political differences, on issues, including, freedom of the press, health care/ medical insurance, immigration, tax reform, etc, while, nearly every day, noticed, a continuing discussion, on what has been characterized, as the Russian Investigation. While most of these issues, have been predominantly, divided, along political party lines, the most recent issue, which is trade tariffs, Can I Get Short Term Home Insurance has been amongst the most divisive!

This article will attempt to briefly examine, review, and discuss, 6 of these.
Home Insurance Tips For Tenants
1. Address unfair importing/ dumping: The issue of certain nations, using apparently, unfair techniques, to take advantage, and dumping their products, at below – market rates, is not a new one. Most nations impose certain tariffs, either to raise needed funds, or to assist their companies, which hire Americans, within this nation. However, the issue, is not, black – and – white, but, rather many factors, and/ or ramifications, come into play. In today's global marketplace, many products use, products, parts, components, and labor, provided in various parts of the world. For example, many foreign auto manufacturers, assemble their cars, in local, American assembly plants. In many cases, the so – called American companies, are actually less American, than the foreign ones! There must be a fine – line, and an approach, which balances, concept, with actions!

Why create raising prices, and risk inflation, hurting consumers and manufacturers, merely to flex America's so – called, muscle?
6. International goodwill: Australia claims, President Trump promised, there would be no imposed tariffs, on steel, and, wouldn't you think, they would feel, now, they can't trust this man, or our nation? Don't we need, more goodwill, rather than polarizing?

This tornado damage to an Illinois home would be covered as a typical named peril Property insurance provides protection against most risks to property, such as fire, theft and some weather damage. This includes specialized forms of insurance such as fire insurance, flood insurance, earthquake insurance, home insurance, or boiler insurance. Property is insured in two main ways—open perils and named perils. Open perils cover all the causes of loss not specifically excluded in the policy. Common exclusions on open peril policies include damage resulting from earthquakes, floods, nuclear incidents, acts of terrorism, and war. Named perils require the actual cause of loss to be listed in the policy for insurance to be provided. The more common named perils include such damage-causing events as fire, lightning, explosion, and theft. An 18th-century fire insurance contract. Property insurance can be traced to the Great Fire of London, which in 1666 devoured more than 13,000 houses. The devastating effects of the fire converted the development of insurance "from a matter of convenience into one of urgency, a change of opinion reflected in Sir Christopher Wren's inclusion of a site for 'the Insurance Office' in his new plan for London in 1667".[1] A number of attempted fire insurance schemes came to nothing, but in 1681, economist Nicholas Barbon and eleven associates established the first fire insurance company, the "Insurance Office for Houses", at the back of the Royal Exchange to insure brick and frame homes. Initially, 5,000 homes were insured by Barbon's Insurance Office.[2] In the wake of this first successful venture, many similar companies were founded in the following decades. Initially, each company employed its own fire department to prevent and minimise the damage from conflagrations on properties insured by them. They also began to issue 'Fire insurance marks' to their customers; these would be displayed prominently above the main door to the property in order to aid positive identification. One such notable company was the Hand in Hand Fire & Life Insurance Society, founded in 1696 at Tom's Coffee House in St. Martin's Lane in London.[3] The first property insurance company still extant was founded in 1710 as the 'Sun Fire Office' now, through many mergers and acquisitions, the RSA Insurance Group.[4] In Colonial America, Benjamin Franklin helped to popularize and make standard the practice of insurance, particularly Property insurance to spread the risk of loss from fire, in the form of perpetual insurance. In 1752, he founded the Philadelphia Contributionship for the Insurance of Houses from Loss by Fire. Franklin's company refused to insure certain buildings, such as wooden houses, where the risk of fire was too great. There are the three types of insurance coverage. Replacement cost coverage pays the cost of repairing or replacing your property with like kind & quality regardless of depreciation or appreciation. Premiums for this type of coverage are based on replacement cost values, and not based on actual cash value. [5]Actual cash value coverage provides for replacement cost minus depreciation. Extended replacement cost will pay over the coverage limit if the costs for construction have increased. This generally will not exceed 25% of the limit. When you obtain an insurance policy, the limit is the maximum amount of benefit the insurance company will pay for a given situation or occurrence. Limits also include the ages below or above what an insurance company will not issue a new policy or continue a policy.[6] This amount will need to fluctuate if the cost to replace homes in your neighborhood is rising; the amount needs to be in step with the actual reconstruction value of your home. In case of a fire, household content replacement is tabulated as a percentage of the value of the home. In case of high-value items, the insurance company may ask to specifically cover these items separate from the other household contents. One last coverage option is to have alternative living arrangements included in a policy. If property damage caused by a covered loss prevents you from living in your home, policies can pay the expenses of alternate living arrangements (e.g., hotels and restaurant costs) for a specified period of time to compensate for the "loss of use" of your home until you can return. The additional living expenses limit can vary, but is typically set at up to 20% of the dwelling coverage limit. You need to talk with your insurance company for advice about appropriate coverage and determine what type of limit may be appropriate for you.[7] Attack on the World Trade Center Following the September 11 attacks, a jury deliberated insurance payouts for the destruction of the World Trade Center. Leaseholder Larry A. Silverstein sought more than $7 billion in insurance money; he argued two attacks had occurred at the WTC. Its insurers—including Chubb Corp. and Swiss Reinsurance Co.—claimed the "coordinated" attack counted as a single event. In December 2004 the federal jury arrived at a compromise decision.[8] In May 2007 New York Governor Eliot Spitzer announced more than $4.5 billion would be made available to rebuild the 16-acre (65,000 m2) WTC complex as part of a major insurance claims settlement.[9] New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, several thousand homeowners filed lawsuits against their insurance companies accusing them of bad faith and failing to properly and promptly adjust their claims.[10] On 24 June 2009, Florida Governor Charlie Crist vetoed the Consumer Choice Act (H.B. 1171). The bill would have trumped state regulation, and allowed Florida's biggest insurance companies to establish their own rates.[11] Remarking upon State Farm's pullout from Florida, Ted Corless, a property insurance attorney who has represented large insurance carriers like Nationwide, noted "that homeowners are really going to have to look out for themselves".[12] Five days after Crist vetoed the Consumer Choice Act, Corless defended property insurance deregulation by pointing out that "if the blue-chip insurance companies wanted to price themselves out of the market", then they would go out of business. He accused Crist of making choices on behalf of consumers, not protecting their right to choose. In 2006 the average Florida annual insurance premium was $1,386 for a homeowner, one of the highest in the country.[13] Fire insurance business in India is governed by the All India Fire Tariff that lays down the terms of coverage, the premium rates and the conditions of the fire policy. The fire insurance policy has been renamed as "Standard Fire and Special Perils Policy". The risks covered are as follows: The following causes of loss are covered: The following are excluded from insurance coverage: Claims In the event of a fire loss covered under the fire insurance policy, the insured shall immediately give notice thereof to the insurance company. Within 15 days of the occurrence of such loss the insured should submit a claim in writing giving the details of damages and their estimated values. Details of other insurances on the same property should also be declared. Misc:
Home Insurance: Make Sure Your Equipment And Belongings Are Insured
Working from home is not a new idea. People have been working from home for years doing a wide array of odd jobs. Some people sold magazine subscriptions over the telephone. Some people stuffed envelopes for companies. These days, however, working from home carries a certain clout that it didnt carry years ago; thats because people arent just working from home anymore. People are running home businesses. Since technology is so advanced in the 21st century, people who run home businesses have come to rely heavily on computers and other electronic gadgets in order to communicate with clients, as well as both create and deliver the products. Some people base their home businesses on freelance writing, in which they can use their computers writing software programs to write, and even send the finished product to the client using email. Others base their home businesses on graphic design, which the do completely on the computer using graphic design software, and can, once again, send the finished product to the client using email. This is easy, and inexpensive, because no paper is required and email is free. When people work for someone else, the boss usually handles business management. However, just because people own home businesses doesnt mean they dont have to practice good business management. One of the best business management steps is making sure your equipment the very tools that make it possible for you to work is covered by insurance. Some homeowners insurance policies cover your home business equipment, and some dont. If yours does, find out how much coverage you have and whether you should purchase more. If yours doesnt, consider purchasing insurance coverage. When you make the home business management step of purchasing insurance for your home business equipment, remember: your computer isnt the only tool you use. Take into account all accessories pertinent to your home business, including digital cameras, printers, scanners, fax machines, and copiers.

Work purchased a T410s for $1700 in August for me.
LCD vertical band issue within 3 months (4 days of downtime)
Shift key doesn't work well within 6 months (40 days of annoyance)
Palmrest cracking at 7th month. (?)
I'll be lucky if this POS works after a year.
This is my last Thinkpad ever. My T43 is in better condition to this day than paperweight. The T43 battery wear is only at 80%. The battery wear on this T410s is at 87% and I stop charging at 80%, start charging below 50%, never drain it below 20%.
I call tech support and asked for a new palm rest so I can just replace them myself and they told me I had to send it in to see if it's even "covered" under warranty. I need this for WORK and hence it would completely negate the purpose of the purchase of a business laptop. I was going to purchase two more for two new employees that we hired but these policies and issues completely reversed all feelings I have about Thinkpads.
Lenovo, you can only milk the brand for so long before you lose loyal customers like me.

Well I just got off the phone with them and they are sending me a new palmrest. Had a problem with the keyboard a few weeks ago and they sent me a new one of those two (took 10 minutes to put it in). They have excellant instruction sheets and video on how to do this and seemed very accomadating to me.
Disappointing that I had to fix this, but tech support was great and they offered me the option of doing the repair myself or sending it in. I'm sure this'll go pretty smoothly too.
UPDATE! Jan 23 2012: Everything went smoothly and I have had no further problems (I'm on my 410s as I write this).
Hi dsx724
Hopefully your T410s is fine after this 3 incident. If it keeps failing, they could probably change a T420s, T430s (if next year) or other equivalent / higher machines for you.
I believe some other brands also have certain models with a lot of problems and the next release solve the issues.
(e.g. Epson TX110 have flaws, TX120 was released to solve following issues)
It would depends on your luck also, some machines are great, but customers are unlucky to get a lemon set. W510 failed me badly, but W520 serves me well. Anyway, I realized laptop have more driver, bios, etc. issues compared to workstation and desktop.
Does someone post helps you? Give them a kudos as a reward, as they will do better to improve
Mark it as solved if the solution works for you, so it could be reference for others in the future
Refunded Set: W510, 4876-A11
Current Set: W520, 4284-A99
Dolby Home Theater v4!:
So my T410S has the same issue. I have called tech support and they say it is aesthetics and the do not replace these.
How were you able to get a replacement? Let me know.

Whoever you spoke with is full of it. I just replaced the palmrest on a T410s last week via warranty support. You are under warranty, correct?
I just found a crack in my T520 laptop case ...on the keyboard side in the lower left corner right below where they put the "Intel Inside", "Windows 7" and "Lenovo Enhanced Experience" stickers. Even though the machine is only 4 months old and the crack was not caused by dropping it or any abuse of any kind, my "Enhanced Experience" with Lenovo customer service was to be told that this is a "cosmetic problem" not covered by my warranty. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, Derick told me that I could send it in to be repaired, but, I would be charged for the repair work.
This should absolutely be covered by the warranty since it is obviously a defective part or a defect in the manufacturing process but I seem to be getting nowhere with Lenovo customer service. Does anybody on this forum have any ideas on how I can either 1) escalate this problem to someone at Lenovo who actually wants to stand by their product quality and back their warranty, or 2) send me URLs to all of the Thinkpad consumer ratings sites so that I can warn others not to buy Lenovo products because of their bad product quality, their worthless warranty, and their uncaring customer service?
I too have the same problem with my T410s. There are cracks in three different locaiton on the palm rest. The tech support told me that "cosmetic" damage is not under warrantee. The customer service is terrible. I have always been a loyal Thinkpad user since 1993. Those 700's models where study and very reliable.
My company bought 4 new t420 and have various issues with them. I have lost complete confidence in the Thinkpad brand.

These quick-as-a-wink-to-make, four-ingredient smoked salmon sushi rice balls are 2- or 3-bite sushi. Because these rice balls use smoked salmon, you can serve them to friends who are squeamish about raw fish.
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Yield: 8 sushi rice balls
1 tablespoon capers
2 cups prepared sushi rice
3 ounces sliced, smoked salmon
8 whole capers
8 lemon wedges
Rinse 1 tablespoon capers and mince them.
Gently mix the minced capers into the sushi rice until well combined.
Fill a damp 1/4-cup measuring cup with the rice mixture.
The measuring cup helps shape your rice ball.
Cut the smoked salmon into 8 pieces, each 2 inches square.
Place a piece of smoked salmon on a 10-inch piece of plastic wrap and then cover the salmon with 1/4 cup of the sushi rice mixture.
Pick up the edges of the plastic wrap and twist the rice package into a ball.
Unwrap and place the rice ball, salmon side up, on a plate.
Make 7 more smoked salmon rice balls by following Steps 3 through 7.
Garnish the top of each rice ball with a whole caper.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I tested 1.1.1, it work well.
So, I want to translate in Japanese. How do I?
If this cms freamwork is good, haven't translated in Japanese, Japanese users never use this. Most of us don't want to read English.
I know you set up something to version 1.4 around here. I must wait it for 1.4 will be released?
If possible, please make 'translation page' on hp. I did translate like 'CDATA' or 'array()' type language resource file. But it is not good. Many cms inculded translation system in itself. I hope elefant have it.
There is a "lang" folder in elefantcms.
The languages.php defines languages available and which is default. You can modify it like this:
name = English
code = en
charset = UTF-8
fallback = Off
default = Off
name = 日本語
code = jp
charset = UTF-8
fallback = Off
default = On
The new_lang.php file is the template for translation. You should rename it "jp", then modify the content.
After that, you should tell us your work. These sites may be useful:
Visit certain site, paste code in it, save it, then tell us the url.
I hope my answer can help you. Good luck!
I translated some items, but no Japanese display.
I chased code a bit and use debugger(on netbeans), language_hash is empty. (I missed somewhere??)
languages.php: http://pastebin.com/x50J7nSR
ja.php: http://pastebin.com/qWWiPhDc
All files are coded in UTF-8 without BOM? If not, change it.
sorry, i found my mistake. Japanese resource file name became ja..php.
It work well now. So I'll continue translate.
OK, now report something:
1.Please think about installer. Hard corded in html.
2.On pulldown menu, only last item became Japanese.
3.At the page 'settings' of install, clicked 'save setting' and went next page, but I had noticed I missed, so back to setting page. Correct input and click 'save setting'. Error happened and I was not able to back/foward anymore. (Maybe by click 'sava setting' button, data save into db table at first time, and did again it, failed to validation because data existed already.)
Oh, error message is there :SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1062 Duplicate entry '1' for key 'PRIMARY'
Find more:
luck of items : 'Website', 'Tools' are not on new_lang.php
On desinger page, 'Default' is not translated ( the term on ja.php)
On Extra options, Display title : can't translate 'Yes' and 'No'
If words are written like: {"...some words"} in template, or use i18n_get function, elefantcms will translate words using the language file. But if it is hard coded in template file, it will not.
Not only these, admin toolbar labels will also not be translated, because they are formed in a different way. They are defined in apps/{$appname}/conf/config.php.
Words in template can easily be changed to support mulit language, but it seems that words in apps need a solution to solve the problem. Can I call a php function in an INI-style file?
A solution: in config.php file, use {"...some words"}, then when parse the file, convert to use i18n_get function to get right value.
Another solution: each app has a lang folder, and also some language files. When admin install the app, append the language file content to the main file.
The first solution can easily work, but after you install a new app, you should modify the main language file to add new translation content manually.
The second needs admin app to append contents while installing and remove contents while uninstalling. It seems that now elefantcms doesn't have uninstall event right now, but it should. Using this can also help apps stand alone.
'Import Posts' is not in new_lang.php 'Choose an importer' is not in new_lang.php 'importer' of 'Blogger importer' is not translatable 'export file' of 'Blogger export file:' is not translatable 'Drag pages here to remove them from the tree.' is not in new_lang.php 'Add User' is not translatable
as to 1.4 mail stone, data/time format must be translatable
many wards on date/time picker are not translatable
On editor, 'Blod', 'Italic'....terms are not translatable
where is 1.4?
It said about mail stone 1.4
And now I translated elafant cms. The three reasons.
for Japanese users.
http://www.elefantcms.com/community it said 'needed tester', so I used and tested.
On the same page above, it said 'Contributing ... Translate Elefant into more languages'
I knew elefant used Javascritp(JQuery). If I want, I will read and I can change everything personally. But there is no benefit for other(want to translate in own language).
So who will make decision how and what will change or translate is not me. It is developers' decision.
So if you don't want help about translation and find bugs and improvement translation system, let's me know. In future, elefant get more futures and I will feel enough. When the time come, I will fork and make elefant-ja, and translated hard coding string into Japanese.
Hi, I was away all yesterday and I'm just catching up on this thread. I'll write some info in the documentation on making translations and post it here soon too.
I fixed 2 things just now so the latest code in Github now has these fixes:
./conf/elefant build-translation) wasn't reading sub-folders in the handlers and views folders, so
views/file.html could be translated but not
views/sub/file.html. That's been fixed now so everything should be able to be translated.
i18n_get() function.
I've also filed a bug about the web installer not being translatable yet:
What I planned to build for Elefant 1.4 was a Translations option under the Tools menu where you could easily manage translations and make new ones. For now, it's only by editing the files in the
lang folder, but that will improve :)
Once I post the translation page in the documentation area, I'll take a look at what else is missing that you guys have mentioned here.
Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it and would love to see Elefant working nicely in multiple languages!
Ah there is a page (although it could use some editing to make it easier to follow) about how Elefant's translations work:
I read the document.
If possible, please think about auto detect language by browser info. like:
function get_lang_from_browser_setting() { if (!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'])) { // only IE can be set no default language... return 'en-US'; } else { // on windows, when using xammp, make error because comment out extension intl.dll (on above 5.3, it must include as default...) return Locale::acceptFromHttp($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']); }; }
and for setlocal :
function get_local() { if (PHP_OS === 'WINNT' or PHP_OS === 'WIN32') { return ''; } else { return get_lang_from_browser_setting(); } }
I don't know it is better 'en' or 'en-US' format.
In language.php defined default and fallback language, so you need mode work out around here.
Maybe it is the best way to make auto-language-detect option for system. And set fallback language as defined in language.php. And On as default. I think.
In future, it must be handle priority for language...
There is a setting to use the Accept-Language header. In
conf/config.php you can change this setting to
http and it will use your browser's language preferences to choose the best language to display:
; This is the method for determining which language to show the
; current visitor. Options are: url (e.g., /fr/), subdomain
; (e.g., fr.example.com), http (uses Accept-Language header),
; or cookie.
negotiation_method = url
I do wonder which one should be the default setting. Currently it is
url but there may be a better option.
I just finished fixing two of the big remaining translation issues: translating the web installer, and making the wysiwyg editor show with the right translation. I've also updated the lang/new_lang.php file to include the missing text, and changed the language checking to use the Accept-Language header by default.
There may still be a few places that are missing translatable text, but this should get us much closer to being complete. I would love to see Elefant ship with multiple languages supported out of the box :)
I've written a new translator tool for Elefant's GUI that will hopefully make it easier to translate it into other languages. It's now in the master branch on Github. I moved the latest beta release into the 1.2 branch, so new features like the translator tool can be worked on in the master branch. If you install from Github master, you'll see it under Tools > Languages.
I've also included the translations you guys have made, so hopefully they can be the start of making Elefant multilingual for everyone.
I will make a new chinese language file in a few days :)
Hi folks. Anybody else working on a german translation? I'm half the way through and it will be finished tomorrow. Could use some proof reading and a way to submit the file. Shall I fork on git-hub and raise a pull-request or what's the preferred way to do that?
About the default setting for the negotiation method - I like http, because the Accept-Language header is - imho - the best way to do that automagically. Just my 5 cents.
Hi erschum, I believe you're the only one working on German :) Thank you for that!
To send the translation, you can either paste the files (e.g.,
lang/de.php and
lang/languages.php) into a site like http://gist.github.com/ or you can fork and submit a pull request through the Github website. The process for that would be:
git clone of your forked repository
git add lang/de.php; git commit -m "..." lang; git push origin master

Ballot cloggers: Couric's bill leads amendments
It's a pretty serious matter to change the state constitution, and unwitting Virginia voters will be asked to do just that when they go to the polls November 2.
Unwitting because the presidential election has so dominated the media that many voters will be surprised to see two arcane amendments on the ballot when they step behind the curtain. The additional choices may confuse– and certainly slow– the hordes of eager voters on Election Day who have to try to figure out what the heck these two amendments are about.
"Both are very difficult to understand," says Charlottesville Registrar Sheri Iachetta. "They haven't been well publicized."
Proposed amendment number one deals with– yawn– apportionment, and it's written in eye-glazing legalese.
Dubbed variously "Emily's Amendment" or the "Creigh Deeds Bill," it aims to address a situation that can occur once every 10 years when the state is redistricted in the wake of the census. The problem came up in 2001 when Deeds ran for the late Emily Couric's seat, only to find it had been redistricted. "It leaves people disenfranchised," says Deeds.
Even Republican Rob Bell calls the amendment a good idea. "Greene County got taken out of Emily Couric's 25th District and didn't have an elected representative until the next election," he says.
The other amendment lengthens the line of succession in the event of a sweeping catastrophe that wipes out the governor, lieutenant governor, the attorney general, and the speaker of the House.
Delegate Mitch Van Yahres fully concedes it's reactionary– but says it's necessary in the post 9/11 world.
And Bell says, "In the event of a catastrophic event, someone has to pick up the line of succession."
The succession amendment actually has drawn some opposition. "Perhaps it's a bit of an alarmist measure," says Jefferson Area Libertarian chair Arin Sime. "I see no reason we can't count on the General Assembly to convene."
The amendment adds three new positions to the line of succession– the person designated by the House of Delegates to succeed the speaker, the president pro tempore of the Senate, and the majority leader of the Senate.
Sime believes that makes the interim governor less accountable. "During a terrorist situation, I'd want a strong leader, not some mid-level delegate who's jury-rigged his name into 12th on the list."
As for the voters, they're likely to pass the amendments whether they understand them or not. "Usually there's no problem passing constitutional amendments," notes Van Yahres.

News for the emerging markets, including Russia, wasn't good in 2013, and it is only getting worse in 2014 — with the exception of the hype over the Sochi 2014 Olympics.
Russia's economy grew just 1.3% last year, according to preliminary estimates, and China's expanded by less than 8% for the first time in 20 years. Of course, their currencies have been taking a beating. The Russian ruble, for instance, hit a five-year low against both the dollar and euro.
No wonder 54% of investors surveyed late last year by Morgan Stanley said they saw Russia as a "bad" place to invest. But are there any bright spots when it comes to investments with a Russian focus?
Overall, the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) took quite a beating over the past 12 months, dropping 12% vs. a nearly 18% in S&P 500 (SPY) during the same period. Year to date, EEM is down 8%, while the S&P has weakened just 4%.
The SPDR E&P Russia ETF (RBL) has underperformed EEM, dropping 15% over the past 12 months and 10% since the start of the year.
Rich in natural resources, Russia's economy is commodity based, with most exports tied to oil, natural gas, metals and timber.
Commodities have outperformed overall Russia and emerging-market funds, but their returns are far from stellar.
As measured by the iPath S&P GSCI Total Return Index ETN (GSP), global commodities have weakened 2% year to date and are off 8% over the past 12 months. Meanwhile, the S&P International Energy Sector ETF (IPW) is down 5% so far in 2014 and has traded flat sicne early February 2013.
The iShares S&P Global Timber & Forestry Index Fund (WOOD), however, is up 9% since early February of 2013, though it's down 3% for the past year.
These results put timber ahead of the broader performance of commodities in the short term. The iPath S&P GSCI Crude Oil Total Return Index ETN (OIL), for instance, is down 8% year to date and has a flat 12-month performance.
Precious metals aren't doing quite as well as timber in 2014, but they are in positive territory. The iPath Dow Jones-UBS Precious Metals Subindex Total Return ETN (JJP) is up 4% year to date but down 30% since February 2013.
The iPath Dow Jones-UBS Industrial Metals Subindex Total Return ETN (JJM), though, has weakened 5% in early 2014. It's also off 19% on a 12-month basis.
There is one sector critical to Russia that is shining and has done so consistently since early 2013: natural gas.
The iPath Dow Jones-UBS Natural Gas Subindex Total Return ETN (GAZ) has soared 25% year to date. Its 6-month returns are 40%, while its 12-month performance is a positive 20%.
And the US Natural Gas ETF (UNG), which also reflects changes in futures, has moved up 25% in early 2014, 45% in the past six months and 35% over the past 12 months.
Like Russian investments overall, however, natural gas is a volatile sector. Over the past two years, the S&P has moved up steadily with 30%-plus returns vs. a 20% zig-zag movement of UNG and a loss of 10% for GAZ.
Like an Olympic skier at the games, investors will have to ask themselves if the thrill such gas-themed holdings is worth the bumpy ride.

This edition focuses on the international development of account-ing principles and practices as well as the intrastate development of the public accounting profession in the United States.
At the national level, two studies outline the growth of indigenous theory and practice in unique societies: Imperial China and Japan. Closer to home, two researchers, using different approaches, inves-tigate the evolution of financial accounting and reporting in Canada.
Accounting practitioners make their own particular contributions in the search for improvements in and extensions of accounting thought. Three studies trace the rise of the public accounting pro-fession at the state level: in Colorado, Kansas and Mississippi. Their common theme is that from origins in general bookkeeping practice, and assisted by State regulatory legislation, public accounting has benefitted from the considerable increase in the level of skills and range of services offered by the professional practitioner.
A Study of Governmental Accounting in China: With Special Refer-ence to the Sung Dynasty (960-1279) (U. of Illinois, 1968, 442 pp.; 30/1, p. 2-A)* by Philip Yuen-Ko Fu. Part I of this dissertation com-mences with an overview of governmental accounting in imperial China and a critical evaluation of Sung accounting is provided in Part II. This particular dynasty was selected "because of its greater attention to accounting as a means of controlling expenditures and waste. Consequently, the dynasty modified accounting structure, formulated methodology, and matured already existing practices."
In the early days of accounting in imperial China, the concept of accountability encompassed both accounting and auditing. During the Chou dynasty, these twin aspects were incorporated in an emerging financial accounting model, providing for funds, fiscal years, and budgeting. The Three Kingdoms witnessed both the final separation of financial from non-financial accountability, com-
