I got so carried away with my post about dancing that I totally neglected to point out one of my greatest dancing successes. Actually, this is the second time that I've neglected to spread the word.
Last month, blogging friend Janice over at the splendid Cow Hampshire blog, used her creative talents to put together a series of Christmas clips with the always-entertaining folks at Jib Jab, using photos of some of her geneablogging friends.
I was honored to be part of the crew that Janice digitally assembled to decorate the Jib Jab Christmas tree. In this clip, Janice exercised some literary license by bestowing on me some elfin dancing skills of the first rank. Thank you, Janice.
While you're there, you might check out some of Janice's other Christmas clips. They're all a hoot.
This also gives me an opportunity to use another photo from Bunny Gibson's Bandstand party. In this one, a few of the L.A. Bandstand regulars pose for the VH1 cameraman.

When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the United States quickly declared war on the Empire of Japan. Nine weeks later, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 which gave the War Department the authority to define military areas in the West Coast states and to exclude anyone who might threaten the war effort. The United States Government then made a controversial decision to imprison most of the 120,000 Japanese Americans living on the West Coast of the United States, 77,000 of whom were American citizens. The remainder were registered aliens of Japanese ancestry, many of whom had lived in the United States for years.
The Japanese Americans were moved inland to ten permanent camps in isolated parts of the American West. The camps were surrounded by barbed wire and were complete with guard towers and armed guards. There were permanent camps in California, Arizona, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, and Arkansas. There were also dozens of other assembly areas and temporary camps. The evacuation began on March 25, 1942, and by August 12, 1942, almost all Japanese Americans were imprisoned.

Justin Bieber Miami Arrest Trial Set for May
Justin Bieber better take a Sharpie and circle May 5 on his calendar and set several alarms on his iPhone. That is when the teen is due back in court for a trial relating to his Jan. 23 arrest in Miami.
While plea offers were being tossed around, The Biebs reportedly nixed those and is now headed to trial, according to E!
The singer, 20, will return to Florida in May to face charges of resisting arrest and possessing an invalid driver's license. He was initially accused of DUI and drag racing, even though his blood alcohol level was below the limit for underage drivers and the GPS readout from the rented Lamborghini did not indicate a high rate of speed at that moment. He drove fast that evening, but not at the time he was accused of racing.
The singer has pleaded not guilty to the charges. He might still be able to cop a plea. We shall see. Whatever happens, this should be interesting.
Toxicology reports did indicate weed and Xanax in The Biebs' system.
This case is separate from the civil suit related to a photographer who claims a Bieber bodyguard roughed him up. That case is where the famous cranky and uncooperative deposition tapes came from.

In less than an hour, Apple will unveil the next iPhone. And, as with all Apple releases, certain bloggers are seizing the moment to drive traffic to their sites by writing posts that cast a cloud of doubt and claim that the product at hand will be a complete and utter failure. One writer Dan Lyons is claiming that iPhone launches are no longer exciting. Several jabs were taken at Apple — some of which I agree with — while others are meritless, and seemingly crafted for the sole reason of being provocative.
If that's correct, I imagine Steve is not happy. First of all, he'd be furious about the leaks. Steve liked surprising people.
I find it hilarious how the theme of this article is what Steve Jobs would hypothetically think of Apple's actions if he were still around. Jobs specifically didn't want people asking "WWJD" after his time at the company, and you'd think that someone who created a satirical blog around him would know this. I agree with the point of this statement though. The leaks are surprising for Apple, and, while I doubt they will diminish sales in any way, it's really an usual thing for a company that's notoriously silent and (mostly) leak-free while new products are brewing.
This is the sixth version of the iPhone, and the user interface still looks almost exactly like the original iPhone in 2007.
The hardware on the iPhone has been the same for two years, since the iPhone 4 and 4S were virtually identical.
Dan Lyons seems to have an aversion to incremental updates. The 3G and 3GS were virtually identical. I'm astonished that people didn't get bored then, taking it as a sign that Apple isn't going to produce some mind-blowing, market-changing iteration of the device every single year. We should all have abandoned the platform back then.
Now, having had two years to plot and scheme, Apple's renowned designer Jonathan Ive has replaced the tiny 3.5in (8.9cm) screen with a slightly-less-tiny 4in (10.2cm) screen? Wow. Knock me over with a feather. What do you do with the rest of your time, Jony?
There appears to be correlation between increased screen size and Jony Ive's work ethic. We should investigate Samsung for unfair worker treatment; I weep for the designer of the Galaxy Note. He must have been chained to a pole 24/7, slaving to produce such a large screen. In fact, has Lyons designed any large screens? What do you do with your time, sir?
But seriously, Jony was probably too busy authoring some parody blog.
This is what happens when a company is too cheap to invest in research and development. Did you know that Apple spends far less on R&D than any of its rivals – a paltry 2% of revenues, versus 14% for Google and Microsoft?
They seem to be spending that 2% quite well, seeing that their products have set the tone of entire markets.
No wonder the Android platform, where new models appear every week, now represents 68% of the smartphone market, up from 47% a year ago, while Apple slid to 17% over the same period.
Market share is definitely an important benchmark, but it's not everything. I partially agree with what Gruber said in a post back in January addressing this very matter. What Apple has is a mind-blowing profit share.
Worse, despite all its bluster about innovation, Apple has become a copycat, and not even a good one. Why is Apple making the iPhone bigger? To keep up with the top Android phones.
(Phones that, mind you, Apple fanboys ridiculed at first.)
I like it how you accuse Apple of not thoroughly copying Android devices. If they were complete copycats, they'd be creating a 4.8″ or larger device. They've clearly spent time mulling over the issue of screen size.
I don't personally prefer devices with extremely large screen sizes (I think that the Lumia 900's screen is kind of the max for me; anything else is excessive.) However, it is a growing trend that consumers are leaning towards phones that are at least 4 inches in size, and I think that, if they do want to increase the screen size of the devices, 4 inches is a comfortable compromise. Also, if the leaks look accurate, they didn't increase the width of the device. It is slightly quirky — I've joked on Twitter that it resembles longcat — but this way, it still (in theory) should feel comfortable in hand.
Apple also has become a copycat in tablets. Jobs once said the iPad's 9.7in screen was the perfect size, and smaller tablets made no sense. Then the Android camp had success with 7in tablets like Amazon's Kindle Fire and Google's Nexus 7, and now Apple supposedly will announce its own smaller iPad in October. Talk about thinking different!
The company is no stranger to 180-degree turns from firm stances. And, in this case, yes, devices like the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7 have defined the market. But let's be clear, they're not entering this market out of desperation, that's for sure.
Um, Siri still doesn't work. The oft-rumoured Apple TV doesn't exist yet, presumably because media companies won't let Apple take over their business.
Agreed about Siri. But criticizing Apple for a TV, a device that exists only in rumors? Huh?
The latest batch of Apple ads were such embarrassing garbage that Apple had to take them down from YouTube.
Agreed, the ads were shit.
To use a car analogy, six years ago the iPhone was like a sexy new flagship model from BMW or Porsche. Today it's a Toyota Camry. Safe, reliable, boring. The car your mom drives. The car that's so popular that its maker doesn't dare mess with the formula.
That's funny. According to the very market share statistics that were just pointed out, Android is more popular than iOS. And has the iPhone not come far from its original model back in 2007?
I could make a few car analogies comparing the iPhone — and Windows Phone, while we're at it — to luxury automobiles, but that would make me an elitist.
Somewhere up there, I can hear Steve screaming.

FORT COLLINS — During Jim McElwain's nearly three-decade journey as a college football assistant, he coached in nine bowl games, including a pair of BCS championship games at Alabama.
But, his emotions building, McElwain paused for an instant and said topping them all was telling his Colorado State Rams on Sunday afternoon to begin preparations for the Dec. 21 New Mexico Bowl.
"I can honestly say this is probably the most satisfying," McElwain said, referring to his bowl history. "To see the joy on people's faces, that really makes me happy. I know this place hasn't been (to a bowl) in a while."
CSU (7-6, 5-2 Mountain West) will face Washington State (6-6, 4-5 Pac-12) in Albuquerque, with kickoff at noon. The bowl is the Rams' first since 2008, when it defeated Fresno State 40-35 in the New Mexico Bowl.
There were six bowl slots for seven bowl-eligible Mountain West teams. San Jose State was left out.
"This is a big moment for our program; we were all really excited and everybody was cheering," CSU senior linebacker Shaquil Barrett said of McElwain's announcement. "I like playing a team from a big conference."
McElwain said the benefits of playing in a bowl game are far-reaching, including the national exposure which can give a bump to recruiting and fundraising, and the additional practices which provide a head start for 2014.
"This just puts you in that 'club' (of bowl teams)," McElwain said. "There are certain teams in the club and certain teams that are not in the club. This gives us an opportunity to show the good things that are happening at Colorado State."
CSU plans to do most of its practicing in Fort Collins. The team will depart for Albuquerque on Dec. 18.
Nobody on the Colorado State roster has played in a bowl game.
"As a senior class, that's the mark we wanted to leave — starting CSU on the right track and getting to a bowl game," said center Weston Richburg, a four-year starter.
McElwain said CSU is just getting started.
"This (bowl invitation) speaks volumes about how far we've come," he said. "It's something we'll get used to." Tom Kensler: email@example.com or twitter.com/tomkensler
Eye on… The Cougars
CSU beat reporter Tom Kensler takes an early look at Washington State:
Record: 6-6, 4-5 Pac-12 (tied for fourth in North Division)
Coach: Mike Leach is in his second season at Washington State and, like CSU's Jim McElwain, his team improved by three victories from 2013. Fans along the Front Range may remember Leach's 10 seasons at Texas Tech, when he guided the Red Raiders to a bowl game each year and won 84 games.
Best victory: The Cougars won 10-7 at Southern California on Sept. 7 in their Pac-12 opener. That immediately put then-Trojans coach Lane Kiffin on the hot seat. Washington State also won conference road games at California and at Arizona.
Best defeat: As it turned out, it was the season-opening 31-24 loss at Auburn, which will face Florida State for the BCS championship. Auburn managed just two field goals after halftime and had a 100-yard kickoff return in the second quarter. WSU outgained Auburn 464-394, in total yards.
Best player: Operating out of Leach's signature spread offense, junior quarterback Connor Halliday ranks fourth nationally in passing yards (4,189) and is tied for 13th with 28 touchdown passes.
Series history: Surprisingly, this will be the first meeting between Colorado State and Washington State.

This is my first post.
I am a sixty-five year old male who has been his wife's hair colorist for most of the 42 years we have been married. I have slightly better taste in women's fashion than she tho' we almost always agree on her clothing purchases. She almost always solicits my advise on cosmetic purchases; and again we most always agree. I am a balls-to-the-wall old school feminist, with a concomitant knee-jerk aversion to anything that smacks of: "Why I believe I am nothing without a man."
I have been reading ingredient labels on everything well before I discovered this web site; and I all I know about organic chemistry is how to spell "organic" and "chemistry." I know even less about physics.
I drilled down to the plain English translation of a recent journal article about some kind of a tubular protein matrix that expands to absorb water and then----unsurprisingly-----contracts to squeeze it out. (I assumed some such mechanism existed to maintain hydration homeostasis.) My question is: why would not this matrix squeeze out occlusives that kept the skin overly hydrated? So for how long do even the best occlusives---I use petrolatum on myself----prevent evaporation of water?
Of course, this begs the more fundamental question: why would anyone man or women in her or his right mind want to tamper with mammalian hydration homeostasis by preventing water evaporation? What are the unintended consequences of skin moisturizing? What body systems are being disrupted by retarding "natural" skin dehydration?
A: The protein matrix of which you speak is in the lower levels of the skin. The occlusives sit on the surface. So the matrix can't "squeeze out" something that's located layers of skin above it.
Comment: But will not the h20 that is being squeezed out from the lower layer some how break through the occlusive on the top layer of the skin? Are you saying that it is "healthy" ----whatever that means----to keep the H20 trapped in the matrix when the skin wants it to evaporate it? In any event, why would not that same H20 simply find a place on the body where there are no occlusives and then evaporate there.
A. All you're trying to do with a moisturizer is to prevent certain areas of skin from becoming rough and dry which can lead to cracking, bleeding and infection.
You are the scientist and I am zip but I think it is dangerous to imply to non scientists that unless they use moisturizers, their skin MIGHT bleed and crack owing to dryness. That certainly is contrary to my reading of the plain English version of the new journal article by the two physicists who concluded that the tubular protein matrix does a perfectly fine job in maintaining skin hydration homeostasis by itself without any topical amendments. If a women's skin starts to crack and bleed she had better hightail it to a physician rather than screwing around with obscenely priced OTC "serum."
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

Strasburg, Harper lead Nats to win in opener
Ace righty retires 19 straight at one point; outfielder blasts two homers
WASHINGTON -- The Nationals are favored to win the National League East title and, on Monday, lived up to expectations on the first day of the regular season as right-hander Stephen Strasburg -- seven shutout innings -- and outfielder Bryce Harper -- two home runs -- helped Washington blank the Marlins, 2-0 , in front of 45,274 fans at Nationals Park.
For Strasburg, he allowed three hits and struck out three batters, focusing more on getting quick outs than getting batters to swing and miss.
Strasburg has yet to pitch past the seventh inning in his career. Last year, Strasburg was on an innings limit because of Tommy John surgery, but he's not on an innings limit this year. He threw 80 pitches, 52 for strikes.
Manager Davey Johnson believed that Strasburg could have gone more than seven innings, but the atmosphere of Opening Day was too much for Strasburg to handle.
"Any other day, I would have gone further with him, but with the adrenaline going on Opening Day, he could have been a little spent," Johnson said. "But he was outstanding.
"I didn't think he was tired, even at the end of the game, but during the first time out on Opening Day, he gave me seven solid innings, [and] I'm not pushing the envelope. I never have, I never will."
Even Strasburg agreed with Johnson's decision to take him out after seven innings.
"I felt good. I was trying to execute the game plan," Strasburg said. "They are going to be hacking. I was fortunate enough making quality pitches and getting some quick outs. I felt great after seven innings. If it wasn't Opening Day and the first start of the year, it would have been a different story."
After giving up a leadoff single to Juan Pierre in the first inning, Strasburg retired the next 19 hitters he faced before Giancarlo Stanton doubled in the seventh inning.
Harper would give Strasburg all the runs he would need in the game. With starter Ricky Nolasco on the mound for Miami, Harper hit a 1-0 curveball over the right-field wall for his first home run of the season to give Washington a 1-0 lead.
Three innings later, Harper did an encore, hitting his second home run of the game -- a slider -- another shot that went over the right-field wall. After the second home run, at the urging of teammate Chad Tracy, Harper came out for a curtain call.
Harper was glad to hit the home runs in front of his parents, who were in attendance.
"It was a great moment, great experience," Harper said. "The second one, I really didn't take full advantage, I guess you would say. It was over and done."
Harper joined Raul Mondesi and Carlton Fisk as the only defending Rookie of the Year Award winners to hit two home runs in the first game of the following season.
"The kid's locked in," Nolasco said about Harper. "He had a good spring. I didn't make the best pitches to him, and he didn't miss them. That's what good hitters do. Obviously, with the spring he's had, he's seeing the ball really well, and he's not missing those mistakes."
"What can you say about Harp? I guess he likes the three-hole," Johnson said.
Harper was so pumped after the first home run that he stung Johnson's hand after he reached the dugout. Harper went easy on Johnson's hand after hitting the second home run.
"I'm glad he cut it down on the second one. I'm stinging from the first one," Johnson said about the high-fives.
Harper was even significant on defense. In the seventh inning, the Marlins had runners on first and third with one out when Rob Brantly lined out to Harper in left field. Harper then threw a strike to catcher Wilson Ramos, preventing Stanton from scoring from third. However, Placido Polanco tried to advance to second base and was caught in a rundown. Stanton then tried to score and was thrown out at the plate in a 7-2-3-4-2 double play.
"We checked the runner down there. [Danny] Espinosa made a great throw to the plate, and that's the way it was supposed to be," Johnson said.
Nationals relievers Tyler Clippard and Rafael Soriano blanked the Marlins the rest of the way, with Soriano picking up his first save as a member of the Nationals.
Clippard was chosen over Drew Storen because Clippard had better success against pinch-hitter Gregg Dobbs, who flied out to Harper in left field in the eighth inning.
Soriano looked like the antithesis of what he was during Spring Training. In the ninth, Soriano was unhittable and picked up two strikeouts.
"Obviously, Spring Training is overrated, but he certainly turned it up a notch and made nothing but quality pitches. He was outstanding," Johnson said about Soriano.

Sophomore Aisha Price tallied Harvard's second goal at Dartmouth (David Silverman).
HANOVER, N.H. -- Katherine Sheeleigh knotted the 30th goal of her career, and Aisha Price added a tally of her own, but the Harvard women's soccer team suffered a 3-2 loss at Ivy League rival Dartmouth Saturday afternoon. Alexandra Millet recorded one save in net for the Crimson, who falls to 7-7-1 overall and 3-3-0 in the Ancient Eight.
Dartmouth (6-7-2, 3-2-1 Ivy) took the game's first lead when Chrissy Lozier one-timed a cross pass from Marina Moschitto at 8:17. Moschitto's pass from Lozier open in the box and Lozier buried a shot past Millet. Less than four minutes later, Harvard knotted the game, as Alexandra Conigliaro played a pass to Sheeleigh, who maneuvered her way to a good angle in front of the goalkeeper. Sheeleigh slid the ball into the lower left side of the cage, tying the contest at 11:46.
In the 30th minute, the Big Green regained the lead, going ahead 2-1. Kim Rose sent a cross from 25 yards out, and Melisa Krnjaic finished by placing a shot over Millet at 29:54. Dartmouth extended its advantage to 3-1 at 59:14, as Krnjaic booted a shot into the cage early on in the second half.
With less than 12 minutes to play, Conigliaro picked up her second assist of the game when she kicked the ball into traffic in front of the Dartmouth goal. Price headed it over goalkeeper Colleen Hogan, making it 3-2.
Harvard earned 12 corner kicks in the game, while Dartmouth had one, and the Crimson also led in shots, 8-7.
The Crimson will conclude the regular season by hosting Columbia Saturday, Nov. 6. The game, which will begin at 11 a.m., will also serve as Senior Day for Harvard's Kerry Kartsonis, Caroline Kutler, Katherine Kuzma, Katherine Sheeleigh, Katherine Thurber and Gina Wideroff.

Would there be white and red pegs? Would they be played by major actors or rendered through the magic of CGI?
What role would the submarine and cruiser play? Would they save the aircraft carrier for the sequel?
How would the movie replicate the electronic talking enhancements? Is that what 3-D is for?
None of these questions have been answered completely (no white or red pegs in the trailer, but maybe those are R-rated elements that are being saved for the feature), but after seeing the initial spot during the Super Bowl last night, I have compiled a list of things I need to see from this movie...
Somebody needs to say "You sunk my battleship"
Again, wasn't in the trailer, but you don't buy the cow if you can get the milk for free. This needs to be the climactic money moment of the plot. Maybe in the early going a disposable human character says it in passing, but if the aliens also have a battleship--and I have to assume they do--then the big bad guy needs to say it as he's watching his dreams of world conquest go up in smoke. To do this full justice, they're really going to have to spring for a huge name voice actor like James Earl Jones or a digitally recreated Orson Welles.
I want to see white and red explosions
Ok, I understand that the FX pegs would be too costly and Chace Crawford doesn't quite have the range, but let's at least see some ivory geysers when a shot misses. And yeah, the fireworks when that battleship gets sunk better be crimson, baby!
Taylor Kitsch needs to run for a touchdown
Peter Berg is directing this sucker (which, by the way, is the reason despite all the jokes I'm making I still have faith this could actually be pretty darn good), so at some point I'm hoping the fate of the planet gets decided on the gridiron and Timmy Riggins gets to go for six. They should actually bring in Scott Porter for just that one scene to make the hand off. In fact, the entire Dillon Panthers starting lineup should be flying a fleet of fighter jets at the alien armada with Coach Taylor on headset calling the strategy. Clear eyes, full hearts, die alien scum!
The Destroyer saves the day
No, not the armor from Thor, I'm talking about the little two peg boat that can coming in for a last minute rescue. And Randy Quaid should be at the helm.
This scene needs to be recreated
Except the men should be aliens and the women are only pretending to wash dishes before delivering a beat down.

Drones beat the alternatives: Our view
The U.S. drone strikes that target suspected terrorists abroad come with risks: They can kill innocent civilians. They violate the sovereignty of other nations and can turn people there against the United States. They grant unreviewed power to the president to assassinate anyone he determines is a terrorist leader abroad, including American citizens.
OPPOSING VIEW:End covert drone war
And, as the demonstrators who repeatedly interrupted Thursday's confirmation hearing for CIA director nominee John Brennan showed, the strikes raise knotty questions about whether a program of remote-control warfare and assassination squares with U.S. values.
But for all the controversy, the drone attacks have this going for them: They are effective, and the other options are worse.
President Obama has dramatically expanded the use of drones, ordering more than 360 strikes, up from roughly 50 during the Bush administration. These strikes have significantly weakened al-Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The administration is following a similar model by intensifying drone attacks against al-Qaeda offshoots in Yemen and Somalia.
This is messy. But what are the other options?
Leave terrorists alone, free to operate from havens abroad? The foolishness of that approach was exposed by the 9/11 attacks, planned at well-known al-Qaeda bases in Afghanistan.
Use American ground troops to root them out? The price is needless casualties, higher risk of failure and equal likelihood of alienating local populations.
Employ conventional airstrikes? These are less precise and far more dangerous to foreign civilians. Although drones kill civilians, the "collateral damage" rate has dropped from more than 50% during the Bush administration to about 10% now, according to the New America Foundation.
Because of their successes, drone strikes have proved popular here at home and won bipartisan political support. But the fact that the targeted killing program is effective and popular is no excuse for not making it more transparent or subjecting it to the sort of checks that are common in a democracy.
The drone program has long operated in a sort of gray zone, widely known but with its details rarely acknowledged or explained by the White House. Secrecy has been especially intense surrounding the strikes that killed three U.S. citizens, including Anwar al-Awlaki, a New Mexico-born man who became an al-Qaeda leader in Yemen and who authorities said organized several attempts to kill Americans.
A 16-page legal memo, leaked days before Brennan's confirmation hearing, makes a reasonable case for targeting the tiny number of Americans such as al-Awlaki who have joined forces with the enemy. The memo limits targeted assassinations to "a senior operational leader" of al-Qaeda, or one of its affiliates, outside the United States who pose an imminent threat and can't be captured. It implies that the president must approve the killing, which is Obama's practice, but that provision should be codified to prevent abuse in unforeseen future circumstances.
The memo also falls short in rejecting any role for judicial oversight, on the grounds that there's "no appropriate judicial forum" for evaluating the issues. Perhaps not, and courts shouldn't be injected into battlefield decision-making.
But an appropriate forum is easy to create. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court, for instance, grants warrants — sometimes on an emergency basis — for wiretaps that would otherwise be impractically difficult to obtain. Is wiretapping a citizen worse than killing him? A similar court could review kill lists of Americans in non-imminent situations.
The idea is "certainly worthy of discussion," Brennan allowed Thursday, and Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said she'll introduce legislation to create a FISA-like court to oversee targeted killings.
That could go a long way toward calming fears about future abuse. But for the moment, as Brennan reminded the panel, the United States remains "at war with al-Qaeda and its associated forces," which "still seek to carry out deadly strikes against our homeland and our citizens." As long as that remains the case, the drones should keep flying.

'Big six' energy firms face competition inquiry
Regulators will investigate whether the "big six" UK energy suppliers prevent effective competition in the UK energy market.
A report by regulator Ofgem has called for an investigation by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) which could take 18 months.
Centrica boss Sam Laidlaw said it would cause delays to investment and "an increasing risk" of blackouts.
The Ofgem report has criticised the effectiveness of competition.
It finds "possible tacit co-ordination" on the size and timing of price rises, but does not accuse the major energy firms of colluding over prices.
The BBC's Industry Correspondent John Moylan said the report also cited low levels of switching by consumers and the fact that the market shares of the big six suppliers had not changed significantly over time.
Richard Lloyd, executive director of the consumer group Which, said the regulator's report was effectively admitting that it had not done enough to regulate the market.
'Clear the air'
The big six - SSE, Scottish Power, Centrica, RWE Npower, E.On and EDF Energy - account for about 95% of the UK's energy supply market.
Ofgem is now referring the market to the CMA - the new competition body - "to consider once and for all whether there are further barriers to effective competition".
All the major energy companies have welcomed the referral.
But Sam Laidlaw, Centrica chief executive, said he hoped "a lengthy review process will not damage confidence in the market, when over £100bn of investment in new infrastructure is needed".
When questioned on the BBC Radio 4's Today programme over whether it would mean power outages he said: "There is an increasing risk. A lot can be done in terms of demand management, but actually building a new gas power station does take four years.
"So that's the kind of time pressure we are up against, by adding another two years that makes it six years."
However, the Energy Secretary, Ed Davey said: "He is absolutely, totally wrong and I can prove it. We have 14 contracts for power generation [in the pipeline] over the next 15 years.
"What we are seeing in Britain is a big investment in energy.
"It is true that companies like Centrica are not investing as much as we might like them to but we are seeing independent energy generation firms like Siemens coming in in their place."
Today Centrica confirmed it would not proceed with plans for a new gas-fired plant, due in large part to today's investigation being triggered.
Profit increases
Ofgem's report also says profit increases and recent price rises have intensified public distrust of suppliers and have also highlighted the need for a market investigation "to clear the air".
Dermot Nolan, Ofgem chief executive, said: "The CMA has powers, not available to Ofgem, to address any structural barriers that would undermine competition.
"Now consumers are protected by our simpler, clearer and fairer reforms, we think a market investigation is in their long-term interests. "
When asked on the Today Programme whether there would be a breakup of the six largest suppliers Mr Nolan said: "It's possible, (but) I couldn't guess what the Competition and Markets Authority will do".
Tim Yeo, Chairman of the Energy Select Committee said he thought a breakup of the companies was the most likely conclusion of the investigation. He said: "You could cut to the chase and say let's get on with it now.
"I think that would be the quickest way to restore confidence of consumers in the industry.
"I also think it would remove some of the risks of the lights going out, because investment could take place now."
The report comes a day after supplier SSE announced it was freezing prices until January 2016, putting pressure on rivals to do the same.
SSE whose companies include Swalec said the freeze would lower profits, but that it would "streamline" its business to cover the shortfall.
'Restore confidence'
The energy sector has been at the centre of strident political debate since last summer.
This began with Labour leader Ed Miliband's party conference speech, in which he pledged to freeze energy prices for 20 months if Labour were elected.
He also vowed to abolish the current energy regulator, Ofgem, and replace it with a new regulatory regime that ensured consumers got a "fair deal".
Caroline Flint, Labour's shadow energy secretary, asked for the investigation to include Ofgem itself and said: "Isn't today's decision a clear admission that Ofgem has failed to protect consumers?"
The road towards a full inquiry into competition in the market was announced by Ed Davey, the energy secretary, in February.
He wrote to regulators to say that the profit margins made by the six major energy suppliers in the UK were higher than previously thought.
E.On UK chief executive Tony Cocker has now said an investigation was the only way "to restore full public confidence to the energy sector and depoliticise the whole issue".

Today's guest blog post is by Dr. Sabrina Nichelle Scott. Dr. Scott is a consumer anthropologist, and she is the Chair of the National Association for the Practice of Anthropology (NAPA) Workshops Committee.
Workshops registration is now available for the AAA Annual Meeting in Chicago. There are forty-three workshops sponsored by various sections of AAA with fifteen of those workshops offered by NAPA. Workshops are scheduled from Thursday, November 21, 2013 through Saturday, November 23, 2013.
Workshop 9842: NAPA Workshop On the Design Process: Design Thinking, Tools, and Methods
Time/Date: Thursday, November 21, 2013: 8:00 AM-10:00 AM
Workshops Abstract: What is 'design thinking' and why is it important to anthropologists? Like anthropologists, designers conduct research, collecting, analyzing, and synthesizing data. However, the process, methods, and tools used by designers are unique in many ways. The design process is characterized by the intense use of visualization (i.e., mind-mapping, story boarding, diagramming, white boarding, journey-mapping, and conceptual models) and tools ranging from post-its and sharpies to graphic software programs like the Adobe Creative Suite. The design process is nonlinear and iterative, with designers often engaging in multiple rounds of research, sharing initial insights with 'users' (study participants) and validating solutions through prototype testing. Learning how designers approach research projects can provide fresh insights for anthropologists as well as new tools and methods for data collection, analysis, and synthesis. This workshop will introduce the design process and the RASP model (research, analysis, synthesis, prototyping) used by many designers. We will discuss how to apply design thinking and demonstrate tools and methods that focus on how data can be used to inform and frame concept space, to generate options and solutions, and to design prototypes.
Organizer: Christine Z Miller (Savannah College of Art and Design)
Workshop 9741: NAPA Workshop On What's Your PITCH? Who's In Your Network?
Time/Date: Thursday, November 21, 2013: 10:15 AM-12:15 PM
Workshops Abstract: In this interactive workshop, "What's Your Pitch? Who's in Your Network?" you will learn strategies for engaging people and launching yourself professionally. First, the workshop covers the what, who, when, where, and how of networking. It will help you increase the size of your existing professional network and suggest ways of keeping track of those with whom you interact. Second, the focus of the workshop is designed to help you make a compelling case for why a firm, non-profit, government agency, non-governmental organization, or university department should place their bets on you – whether as an employee, contractor, consultant, or student intern. You will create and practice your "elevator pitch," a brief summary that if done well captures people's imagination and offers them a window into your potential. You will also develop talking points for a longer narrative that can be used when time is less of an issue. The workshop presenters will provide advice and coaching to help you capitalize on network ties and communicate successfully with your expanding network. This workshop would be useful for students, practitioners, academically-based individuals, and those in career transition.
Organizer: Sabrina Nichelle Scott (Lillian Rosebud)
Workshop 9649: NAPA-NASA Workshop: Applying to Graduate School, Faculty and Student Perspectives
Time/Date: Thursday, November 21, 2013: 12:30 PM-2:30 PM
Workshops Abstract: This workshop addresses the process of application to graduate programs in anthropology. While the main emphasis will be on the preparation of the application package, other topics to be discussed include selecting the right program, visiting departments, following up with programs, and making an informed decision, among others
Organizers: Nancy Y Romero-Daza (University of South Florida)
Presenters: Alexander J Orona (Cambridge University) and Kelli Hayes (University of South Florida)
Workshop 9849: NAPA Workshop On Marketing Oneself As An Anthropologist in a Variety of Interdisciplinary Settings
Time/Date: Thursday, November 21, 2013: 1:00 PM-3:00 PM
Workshops Abstract: This workshop addresses career opportunities in interdisciplinary settings such as government, community-based, corporate, and non anthropology academic departments. Based on the presenter's work experience and non-traditional career trajectory, she will cover how to interview for these positions and ultimately be successful in them. This interactive workshop is two hours long. In this workshop, the presenter will address how to research these opportunities as well as how to interview effectively once they find them. The presenter will then provide participants with strategies for carving one's niche in the position. Lastly, the presenter will discuss how to maintain an active role in the world of anthropology while also working to establish one's identity in another disciplinary realm.
Organizer: Amy Raquel Paul-Ward (Florida International University)
Workshop 9051: NAPA Workshop On Making a Publishable Field-Site Map
Time/Date: Thursday, November 21, 2013: 2:45 PM-4:45 PM
Workshops Abstract: Regardless of one's subject of research, anthropological data are gathered in specific geographic places. When the time comes to publish a manuscript or monograph, or even give a presentation, most anthropologists are without the skills necessary to produce a publishable map, and resort to finding either a more general map from the internet, or requesting permission to use another scholar's map. This two-hour workshop will introduce anthropologists to 1) the basic design principles of map-making; 2) the data sources needed and how to acquire them; and 3) basic software usage. Following this overview, participants will work through a module to become familiar with the software and design process. Participants will then use these basic skills and the data they bring to the workshop to begin producing a map of their field-site. Participants will need to bring their own laptop computers, and download both freely available software and data sets prior to the workshop. Download instructions and suggestions for obtaining data will be provided ahead of the workshop to registered participants. Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be able to use these introductory skills and software knowledge to gather additional data to enrich their field-site maps, and understand the principles and techniques necessary to produce a publishable field-site map.
Organizer: David D Meek (University of Georgia)
Workshop 9751: NAPA Workshop On Making A Difference: Planning for Your Anthropological Engagement At Various Career Stages
Time/Date: Thursday, November 21, 2013: 3:30 PM-5:30 PM
Workshops Abstract: This workshop helps students, mid-career, retiring anthropologists and others consider turning points and transitions in their careers. A planning process will help you articulate a strategy for anthropologically addressing issues that you feel passionate about. We will discuss how you can use your anthropological background and skill-set to form an action plan to bring about social change on issues that are important to you. The workshop leader, an author of an anthropological career development book, will frame these topics for you and guide you in starting the planning process. Next you will do some individual planning and writing. You will begin to assess why you have chosen specific issues, the role working on these issues currently has in your life and to what extent you are satisfied with your engagement. Then you can consider how you would potentially like that level of commitment to change over time, what next steps are, and how you will use your anthropological training and experience in future involvement. We will share these reflections and responses together. You will also receive feedback about how to go forward in further planning for your anthropological engagement and achieving your goals. The workshop is two hours long.
Organizer: Sherylyn H Briller (Wayne State University)
Workshop 9415: NAPA Workshop On Effective Negotiating for Anthropologists
Time/Date: Friday, November 22, 2013: 8:00 AM-10:00 AM
Workshops Abstract: In all academic negotiations the goal is to gain the best possible compensation package while remaining within an appropriate range of requests and preserving excellent relations with the hiring department and future colleagues. Because even small increases in a job compensation package can yield enormous returns over the course of an individual's career, negotiating is an invaluable skill to master for any anthropologist on or off the tenure track. Yet negotiating is one of the least understood elements of the job search, and academics are often uncomfortable with the practice, in some cases hesitating to appear grasping in the face of a coveted offer, and in other cases having no idea of the nature and scope of things that may be requested. In this workshop I explain the norms of negotiating the academic job offer. First, I discuss the basic elements of the tenure track offer, including salary, teaching release time, start-up funds, research funding, conference travel funding, spousal hires, summer salary, etc. I explain how to evaluate an offer, the general norms of academic job offers, and the scope for negotiation of offers at different ranks of institutions, for different types of positions. Second, I discuss written and verbal techniques of negotiation and the common pitfalls that beset the inexperienced negotiator. I pay special attention to self-sabotaging habits common to women in particular, and use role play to demonstrate best practices.
Organizer: Karen Kelsky (The Professor Is In)
Workshop 9589: NAPA/NASA Workshop On Undergraduate and Graduate Funding
Time/Date: Friday, November 22, 2013: 10:15 AM-12:15 PM
Workshops Abstract: Information on funding for undergraduate and graduate students will be presented. Public and private sources of funding will be discussed along with opportunities for field-based research and field schools. Non-traditional fundraising, crowd funding, and non-academic funding will also be examined. Tips and best practices for successful proposals will be offered.
Organizer: David A Himmelgreen (University of South Florida)
Workshop 8841: NAPA Workshop On Mixed Method Evaluations: Qualitative Or Quantitative Or What?
Time/Date: Friday, November 22, 2013: 12:30 PM-2:30 PM
Workshops Abstract: Anthropologists often join evaluations as "qualitative" members of teams in mixed method projects. This workshop will address the technical challenges of participating in interdisciplinary projects that merge qualitative and quantitative methods in mixed method evaluations. But what is the role of the anthropologist on such projects? Ethnographer? Text analyst? "Human factors" expert? Referee? And what do we need to know about quantitative methods to do this work? We will explore the theoretical and methodological concerns that affect the design of mixed-method evaluations, the negotiations that are needed to blend methods to focus on the same issues, and analysis methods that articulate different species of data into a single body of evidence. The workshop will be participatory and will include group work to design a mixed-method project.
Organizer: Mary Odell Butler (Reston)
Workshop 9890: NAPA Workshop On (FREE) Software For Writing and Managing Fieldnotes: Flex DATA Notebook For PCs
Time/Date: Friday, November 22, 2013: 2:45 PM-4:45 PM
Workshops Abstract: The FLEx Data Notebook is designed for writing and managing fieldnotes. This workshop is an interactive demonstration of basic features for this free software. The Data Notebook comes with standardized and customizable templates for data input and several ways to search, retrieve, and review data. Multi-language and script technologies allow its use in almost any linguistic environment in the world.

Organizers: James Tim M Wallace (NC State University) and G Tomas Woodward (SIL International)
Workshop 9698: NAPA Workshop On Heritage Tourism: Theory and Praxis
Time/Date: Saturday, November 23, 2013: 8:00 AM-10:00 AM
Workshops Abstract: This workshop is for graduate students and faculty working on issues of tourism and/or heritage. Participants maybe either initiating research or doing post-fieldwork analysis. The workshop provides a critical understanding of the history of heritage tourism, theoretical framings, and methodological approaches. There is a workshop course "book" with bibliographies, syllabus, handouts, and interactive exercises. Participants have the opportunity to discuss their own projects and raise questions about the application of ideas and strategies developed in the workshop. The goal is for participants to be able to take these tools and apply them directly to their own ongoing research by developing new kinds of research questions and modes of study that correspond to the assessment of this interdisciplinary field presented in this workshop.
Organizers: Quetzil E Castaneda (OSEA Open School Ethn Anth) and James Tim M Wallace (NC State University)
Workshop 9552: NAPA Workshop On Stress Management and Building Self-Esteem for Students and Beginning Professionals
Time/Date: Saturday, November 23, 2013: 10:15 AM-12:15 PM
Workshops Abstract: This workshop will help students and beginning professionals learn how to develop and practice stress management and self-esteem-building skills, which are essential for career development whether one is an academic or practicing anthropologist. The presenter will set the stage by sharing real-life examples that underscore the importance of self-knowledge and maintaining balance in one's personal and professional lives. The balance of the workshop will involve small-group work and collective sharing of insights. Dr. Teresita Majewski, RPA, FSA, vice president and chief operating officer of Statistical Research, Inc., will lead the workshop. Her experience has spanned more than 25 years in academic and practicing settings, and she has balanced her anthropological career with civic and professional service and a full personal life, often by employing creative and sometimes unconventional (by anthropological standards) strategies. But even the paths of the most-successful professionals are not smooth. The goal of the workshop is to introduce participants to the tools necessary to make the transition from "unsure/"insecure" undergraduate/graduate student to "confident professional," while weathering the inevitable challenges and setbacks by understanding and managing external and internal stresses.
Organizer: Teresita Majewski (Statistical Research, Inc.)
Workshop 9313: NAPA Workshop On Preparing Undergraduates To Practice Anthropology
Time/Date: Saturday, November 23, 2013: 1:00 PM-3:00 PM
Workshops Abstract: Preparing undergraduates to use anthropology after graduation requires pedagogy aimed at building the skills most sought after by employers, and helping students to communicate their skills effectively. This workshop will connect desired outcomes for students to classroom exercises and techniques. Attention will be given to ways of intentionally building skills from introductory courses to senior seminars. These techniques can be used in courses on applied anthropology, but can also be integrated into anthropology courses without an applied focus. The workshop will be designed with input from current practicing anthropologists from both the academy and outside, and advice from employers of anthropology undergraduates.
Organizer: Anne Goldberg (Hendrix College)
Workshop 8697: NAPA Workshop On Data Sanitization: Rituals and Responsibilities
Time/Date: Saturday, November 23, 2013: 2:45 PM-4:45 PM
Workshops Abstract: This one-day workshop will provide an introduction to Data Sanitization – the process of cleaning confidential information from various types of data sets and digital files. Using basic procedures accessible to computer users at all levels of skill, the course will introduce participants to: (1) the risks that unsanitized data can cause to informants and research subjects; (2) the types of private information that can be gleaned from unsanitized data files; (3) basic methods for stripping metadata from digital files; (4) basic methods for masking and substituting sensitive spreadsheet data in Excel; (5) and general best-practices for data security.
Organizer: Isaac J Morrison (Sentimentec)
Workshop 9952: NAPA Workshop On Program Logic Models: A Tool For Evaluators and Project Planners
Time/Date: Saturday, November 23, 2013: 3:30 PM-5:30 PM
Workshops Abstract: Program logic models are a frequently used tool in evaluation, and are often required by funders in submitted grant proposals. This workshop is for practicing anthropologists who are new to this tool or somewhat familiar with it, and will include alternate formats for logic models and use with community groups. Appropriate forms of logic models can be used for framing discussions as part of ongoing participatory process evaluation, as part of an "empowerment evaluation" approach, as well as specifying targeted outcomes and supporting more realistic estimates of when these can be expected. The relationship of logic models to program theory and theory of change approaches to evaluation will be discussed. Participants who may be involved with projects where logic models are being developed are encouraged to come with questions to share or materials for feedback. Handouts and references will be provided. This workshop is sponsored by the Evaluation Anthropology Interest Group of the National Association for the Practice of Anthropology.
Organizer: Eve C Pinsker (University of Illinois at Chicago)

Subscribe To CBS 2014-2015 Schedule Adds Spinoffs, Sets Final Season Of Two And A Half Men Updates
I've already subscribed
CBS has unveiled their 2014-2015 lineup, and in addition to the return of some old favorites -- The Big Bang Theory, NCIS, Survivor and others -- the Eye is lining up a few new dramas and comedies, among which is the NCIS spinoff, NCIS: New Orleans, a psychological thriller called Stalker and a new ensemble comedy called The McCarthys.
CBS' announcement notes a temporary move back to Monday for The Big Bang Theory, which should help kickstart their new Monday night block, which is now more drama than it is comedy. And though there were false reports that the How I Met Your Mother followup How I Met Your Dad had received an order from the network, there's no mention of it on CBS' lineup nor in their announcement at all. So if that series does end up happening, it doesn't look like it'll be at CBS, though a last minute deal could be made (Deadline says unlikely, but the option ends today.)
Here's what is on the lineup. Click the links to view the trailers!
CBS notes that The Big Bang Theory will return to "its Thursday night home" at some point, after which 2 Broke Girls will air on Monday at 8 p.m., paired with Mom. The rest of Monday night will be dedicated to drama, with new series Scorpion set up at 9 p.m. and NCIS: Los Angeles to follow after. Thursday night will hold the network's four-hour comedy block, as TBBT, The Millers, Two and a Half Men and new series The McCarthys will air ahead of Elementary (eventually). And you'll see new drama Madam Secretary lined up ahead of The Good Wife on Sunday night.
Here's what's coming but isn't on the list:
The Odd Couple, starring Matthew Perry.
Battle Creek, Vince Gilligan's new drama starring Josh Duhamel and Dean Winters.
CSI: Cyber, a new CSI spinoff, starring Patricia Arquette.
The Mentalist, Mike & Molly and Undercover Boss will return later in the season.

"How to […]?" and "Where to […]?" Questions that are not questions. Is this defensible?
Does it make sense, grammatically, to end the phrase "How to [action]" with a question mark, or is it more correct for the question mark to be omitted?
I've always considered this a sentence fragment at best, but maybe I'm mistaken. Is it a complete sentence? I tried and failed to identify a subject in any of the examples below, and without a subject I think they aren't complete sentences. If it isn't a complete sentence, is there such a thing as an implied subject that makes it grammatically valid to use the phrase as an interrogative sentence?
I'm asking because I see this all the time in question titles on SE sites.

Aloha all, yep, I am logging in from paradise.
Quite surprised at the news of Fingerworks shutting down production of the TouchStream and other related products, find it hard to believe nobody would want to keep this technology alive and active. Then again, its not cheap and the marketing effort was minimal, at best. Hopefully someone with the appropriate vision and resources will obtain the rights and begin production again.
But I am very pleased to find there is an active user's group looking to maintain the community. Hopefully we can keep the technology alive until our white knight appears. Wish I had the resources to do it myself.
Anyway, a bit about me, I am an architect working entirely in 3D through the use of solid models in AutoCAD, now 2006. I've worked out protocols using vanilla Acad to allow me to work in 3D through the design and documentation processes, including production of construction documents. The advantages are primarily results of working with a single database throughout. No misaligned columns, no unrealizedninterference between elements. The downside is the process puts the weight of the work upfront, it the creation of the models, that's offset by a significant reduction of work at the back end, ie - once the model is complete, so are the elevations, sections, and all those little details, at least the graphics are done. Still have to notate all the various views, but those generally use similar language so its possible to rely heavily on templates already created. Each one is new, but can be saved and reused, editted and reused again.
I use the modeling procedures in many other fields as well, just about any category benefits from working in 3D.
Good luck to us all. Anybody know if there are any spare parts, boards, casings, etc. available? Will anybody be working on improving the software? I am ready and willing to help, though I am not much of a coder.

Piero Ferrari: "My father would have liked the Ferrari of today"
Many have asked Piero Ferrari for memories of his father Enzo in recent days, as the twenty fifth anniversary of his death approaches. On behalf of all fans of the Prancing Horse, www.ferrari.com wanted to ask the company's Vice President who bears his name, for some thoughts on the man who created the company out of nothing.
"Tough and demanding, as a father and as a boss, but also capable of gestures of great generosity and unexpected affection, aspects that he would tend to deny, "said Piero. "Courageous and innovative and always looking to the future: one only has to think of the decision to set up the Scuderia in 1929, the year of the Great Crisis and the project of creating a car factory in an Italy still living in the ruins of the Second World War.
"It's precisely because of this total determination to look ahead and his saying that the best Ferrari was yet to come that my father would have liked what the company has become today," continued Piero. "Always with the future and innovation in mind, not allowing itself to be lured by the market, just as he would have wished. Luca di Montezemolo has done and continues to do a great job of maintaining the essential characteristics of the Ferrari DNA: for example, he would have fully agreed with the decision to keep the production under the seven thousand cars a year mark, while increasing turnover."
There are thousands of memories of the father that the son could tell, but a reserved nature is definitely a family trait. "Of the many memories I have, maybe the ones that have stayed with me are those linked to Sunday lunches with my mother."

Search under way for Texan man missing in national park
February 7, 2013
A search is under way in Rocky Mountain National Park for a 39-year-old man, Troy Green, of San Antonio.
The search is being focused on the Bear Lake area, where a vehicle matching Green's rental car was found Friday morning, according to a news release. He was not at a conference he was planning to attend in Denver on Friday.
Fourteen searchers, including two dog teams, combed the Bear Lake area on Friday and will return early Saturday morning, leaving overnight because of extremely cold temperatures, wind and darkness.
Anyone who visited Bear Lake on Thursday or Friday is asked to contact Rocky Mountain National Park at (970) 586-1204.

A major push from a revamped SCEE team has seen an upturn in PS3's performance, but it's Xbox that has maintained market leadership. And now the platform holder is adding new faces to its team to ensure it stays there.
"Ten years ago, to think we would be the leader in our second generation is a achievement," said Microsoft regional boss Jon Grimes.
"We have great people that have been with us a long time, and now it's about strengthening that team.
"But what has got us to where we are today is not going to be what gets us through the next ten years. Now we've also got to start from scratch when thinking about the future. Driving creativity, whether around marketing, retail or new business models, is key for us."
Xbox UK's team says the games industry needs to be more positive.
Retail boss Jon Grimes and marketing director Harvey Eagle believes
the negative press about video game sales are having a detrimental
impact upon the market, and that there are reasons to be optimistic.
"I think we've got ourselves into a bit of a spiral," said Grimes.
"We've had some great titles over Christmas, but people were
picking out the negative parts. FIFA had its biggest year ever.
Skylanders was a wonderful success. That didn't tend to hit the headlines."
Eagle added: "The traditional life cycle of the console is changing.
The market is behaving as we would have predicted. We've had
great growth over the last four years. At some point
that begins to tail off and that should be expected.
It's not a sign of hardship in the future."
The new Xbox team includes marketing director Harvey Eagle, who was promoted to his role late last year, and sales lead James Wareing, who joins from Nokia. A second sales lead – Anne Lipissier –will join next month from LG.
But does Xbox need to make a move to counter next week's PlayStation announcement?
"Whatever gets announced on February 20th, the majority of UK consumers won't know," Grimes added.
"They'll still want to buy the devices out there. Our job is not to get lost in the industry chatter, but to ensure that the consumers going into stores, going online, still experience Xbox. The announcement is important for the industry, but it is also important to remember who is buying right now."
According to a new study; YouTube, Xbox.com, NeoGaf, N4G, VGChartz, IGN, GameSpot, GameStop, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, All of Europe, FAMITSU, Japan, the rest of Asia and The whole of the Middle East among countless others are experiencing a Tsunami of people in love with Sony's gamings offerings.

Image: Calder Flying Colors of US Promotional Ad
After learning of the threat to the Braniff Building, representatives of Preservation Dallas and DOCOMOMO US NTX toured the building for some three hours. During that period, the DOCOMOMO US NTX representatives were impressed with not only the building, but with its relatively good condition. While there have been some changes made by subsequent tenants since Braniff's departure, almost all important aspects of the building are intact, including the iconic steel structure and original metal siding. Most modifications appear to be easily reversible.
At the time of the writing of this article, the THC decision is expected shortly, after which preservation advocates, including DOCOMOMO US NTX, will determine what the next course(s) of action will be to preserve and revitalize the Braniff Operations and Maintenance Building.

How Does LEED Change Windows and Doors?
April 1, 2008
FEATURE ARTICLE | Codes & Standards, Energy Efficiency
More than 300 homes have been certified under the LEED for Homes program since it launched its pilot program in 2005. Another 8,000 homes are said to be in the pipeline. We asked representatives of two LEED for Homes Providers—organizations that assist builders in meeting these green building requirements and the rating and certification process—about windows and doors used in green homes.
Both Eric Martin of the Florida Solar Energy Center in Cocoa, Fla., and Bill Dakin of the Davis Energy Group, in Davis, Calif., say superior energy efficiency is the number one priority for windows and doors in the projects they've been involved with, but both list other concerns as well. "Do not diminish the importance of recycled and reclaimed material properties that are also given credit in the rating system," says Dakin. The goals of reduced air infiltration and reduced maintenance are also factors.
Martin agrees that the list of issues examined in selecting windows and doors goes beyond energy efficiency. He cites UV rejection, use of windows as part of passive solar daylighting plan, the presence of "green" materials in the window product such as recycled content or certified sustainable wood, and the distance between the place of manufacturing to home site as factors that are considered.
Neither sees the LEED guidelines necessarily changing the number of windows and doors used per home, but builders are looking closely at the performance numbers. "Every LEED Home is different," Dakin reports. Many custom homes are designed with passive solar features. In these cases, the key is finding windows with low U-factors but higher SHGC to maximize daylighting and solar gains during the winter, while architecture is used to minimize cooling loads. In these cases, Dakin says the builder usually needs to go with a custom window manufacturer, he notes, since many stock windows sold in California are not tuned for this purpose. "In production homes," he continues, "we are seeing LEED builders specifying high performance windows with low SHGC since optimizing window orientation is difficult to achieve in a production setting."
"In Florida we look to reduce solar gain basically year round," Martin reports. This means building orientation, available shade from architectural features and site features, window to floor (or wall) area ratio are all carefully considered in LEED homes.
Both providers also state that, generally, when dealing with window and door manufacturers and/or dealers, LEED designers finding the technical support they need to answer questions and make optimal use of these products. "Being able to locate the NFRC ratings for the windows online is important for the consultants and design team to properly evaluate the building performance," notes Dakin. "Some manufacturers are better than others."
When it comes to evaluating the energy efficiency of windows and doors, both put a great deal of emphasis on the NFRC ratings. "For me, it's the performance numbers," Martin states. "Whether they represent efficiency beyond Energy Star is really up to the overall efficiency goals of the project." "An Energy Star labels doesn't mean much to builders, maybe to homeowners. NFRC performance numbers," he notes, "have more value to the design team."
As far as green building needs that are not being adequately addressed by the window and door industry, both suggest potential areas for product development. "It is difficult to find windows with low U-factors and higher solar heat gain coefficients," states Dakin. "You can get custom tuned windows but at a premium." Given the additional concerns of his market, Martin suggests, "I see a need for more products that have both superior energy efficiency and impact resistance."
