Getz, Herrera returning to Royals; Giavotella, Teaford sent to Omaha
The squeaky carousel that is second base in the Royals' lineup reclaimed Chris Getz when he was recalled Thursday from Class AAA Omaha in anticipation of being activated prior to Friday's game against Detroit.
The Royals also recalled reliever Kelvin Herrera from Class AA Northwest Arkansas in hopes he can help shore up a leaky bullpen. He, too, is expected to be activated prior to Friday's series opener at Kauffman Stadium.
Both players were sent last month to the minors because of poor performance. The Royals cleared space for the moves by optioning second baseman Johnny Giavotella and reliever Everett Teaford to Omaha.
"Getzie has been swinging the bat really well down there," manager Ned Yost said. "It's like when we brought Johnny up. Johnny was swinging the bat really well. We're just going with hot hands right now."
Giavotella had hits in his first three at-bats after arriving June 30 from Omaha but thereafter went four for 31. Getz batted .313 in 14 games for the Storm Chasers after opening the year at .214 in 47 big-league games.
"In fairness to (Giavotella)," Yost said, "he only had 35 at-bats. I understand that. But we've got to go. It's time to go. We want to make sure we've got as many hot guys in that lineup that we can get in it."
Herrera is returning from a second demotion to the minors wrapped around 29 big-league appearances in which he went 3-5 with a 5.20 ERA.
He appeared in seven games in his latest minor-league tour, the latter two earlier this week at Northwest Arkansas in order to keep pitching during the Triple-A All-Star break. He permitted two runs overall in 13 1/3 innings.
"He's a quality major-league reliever who struggled," Yost said. "He's gone down. He's got himself back on track. He's throwing the ball well. Boom. Let's see what happens."
Herrera opened the season as the club's primary eighth-inning setup reliever for All-Star closer Greg Holland but lost that duty after yielding eight homers in a 15-inning span.
Yost said Herrera would share set-up duties with Aaron Crow, Tim Collins and Luke Hochevar as the bridge to Holland.
"I'll kind of mix and match." Yost said. "I'll kind of go on match-ups in the seventh and eighth innings. But will he fit in with those guys to get us to Holland? Yeah."
Teaford made just one appearance, covering two-thirds of an inning, following his July 13 recall from Omaha. That was last Sunday, when he permitted an inherited runner to score before retiring the next two hitters.
Bullpen indicators
The Royals' bullpen, viewed in the context of the entire season, has been an undeniable strength in compiling a 3.02 earned-run average that ranks second to Toronto (2.90) among American League clubs.
But that unit, which has worked fewer innings than any other AL bullpen, is also largely responsible for the Royals' streaky nature.
"That's why you get on runs and don't get on runs," manager Ned Yost said. "You get on runs when guys are coming in and getting the job done. You're not on runs when what happened (in Cleveland) happens."
What happened last weekend in Cleveland is three straight losses, which included two rough outings by Collins — although he wasn't helped in either case by Crow and Teaford.
"You go through stretches like that," said Collins, whose ERA jumped from 2.02 to 4.86 over his last 11 outings. "Even if you make good pitches, they can still hit them. That's really all that is happening."
It isn't just Collins.
The bullpen had a 2.63 ERA through June 17, when the Royals climbed back to .500 at 34-34 with a 2-1 victory in Cleveland. That capped a 13-5 run that followed an eight-game losing streak.
Tellingly, it sports a 3.89 mark over the club's current 9-15 slide, which includes a five-game skid as it enters Friday's game against Detroit at Kauffman Stadium.
Some bullet points:
The final loss in that eight-game skid was May 29 and occurred when Crow blew a 3-1 lead in the eighth inning by allowing four runs to the Cardinals in St. Louis. Crow called it the worst outing of his career.
The bullpen permitted 11 earned runs in 17 2/3 innings (5.60) in that eight-game slide, which boosted the unit's ERA to 3.26 — its highest point since mid-April.
The bullpen worked three scoreless innings the next night, May 30, in a 4-2 victory that ignited the 13-5 surge. That was the rainy night-into-morning victory that Greg Holland closed out after 3 a.m.
The relief corps was lights out in the 18-game recovery that carried the Royals back to .500: five earned runs in 47 innings, a 0.96 stretch that lowered the unit's season-long ERA to 2.63.
Since then: 33 runs in 76 1/3 innings (3.89). Take away Holland's continued excellence (one run in nine innings in that span), and the bullpen's ERA is 4.28 over the last 24 games.
Ciriaco to Omaha
The Royals secured outright waivers on infielder Pedro Ciriaco and assigned him to Class AAA Omaha. The move came two days after they acquired him in a waiver claim from San Diego
Ciriaco, 27, had not been previously outrighted in his career, which meant he did not have to right to refuse the assignment. Players have the right of refusal after they have been outrighted once.
General manager Dayton Moore previously characterized Ciriaco's acquisition as one of adding "depth" to the organization.
Ciriaco batted .228 this season in 51 games, primarily as a backup, for the Padres and Boston Red Sox. He was designated for assignment last Friday by the Padres less than a month after they acquired him from Boston.
Paulino update
Rehabbing right-hander Felipe Paulino is scheduled for a full bullpen workout prior to Friday's game to test a sore shoulder that interrupted his recovery from Tommy John surgery on his elbow.
"I feel good," he insisted. "What they really want to see is how my shoulder feels the day after my bullpen. That's the only concern. My back (an earlier ailment) is fine. And my elbow is fine."
TV ratings surging
Ratings for the Royals this season on Fox Sports Kansas City are up 43 percent over 2012. That's the biggest percentage increase for any club in the majors.
FSKC is averaging a 5.8 household rating, which put it on a record pace. It also reports that 11 of its 16 prime-time telecasts in June drew the market's highest rating for that night.
Autograph opportunities
All-Star closer Greg Holland will sign autographs from 1 to 2 p.m. Friday at the Majestic Team Store at Kauffman Stadium.
The session is free, but fans will be limited to two autographs on each time through the line. The store opens at noon.
Former All-Star reliever Aaron Crow will hold a similar session from noon to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Rally House in Independence. Same rules: Free admission but fans are limited to two autographs each time through the line.
Celebrity Classic
Kansas City natives Paul Rudd, Rob Riggle and Jason Sudeikis will join other celebrities Friday for a Whiffle Ball game — dubbed the "Celebrity Classic Game" — at the Little K beyond the left-field wall.
Gates to the ballpark open at 5 p.m. for the 5:30 p.m. game. Since the Little K offers limited seating, fans are encouraged to come early.
Friday is also a Buck Night. Hot dogs, small Pepsi products and small bags of peanuts are available all night for $1 apiece. A fireworks show will follow the game.
Looking back
It was 27 years ago Thursday — July 18, 1986 — that Royals manager Dick Howser was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. Third-base coach Mike Ferraro was appointed as interim manager.
The announcement came three days after Howser guided the American League to a 3-2 victory in the All-Star Game at the Astrodome in Houston. He succumbed to the cancer on June 17. 1987.

This is a live blog of the Leveson Inquiry in London, where James and Rupert Murdoch are appearing in front of the inquiry into media ethics in the UK, set up by Prime Minister David Cameron following the phone-hacking scandal plaguing News Corp.
They will give evidence in London's Royal Courts of Justice about the links between News International, News Corp's UK newspaper wing, UK politicians and UK public officials. James is scheduled to appear on Tuesday between 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. BST (5:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. New York time).
Rupert's testimony will take place on Wednesday and Thursday.
All times are British Standard Time.
James is expected to face a number of key questions Tuesday.
Did he know phone hacking went beyond one reporter at the News of the World in 2008? News International legal counsel Tom Crone and News of the World editor Colin Myler said he did. James has told MPs he hadn't read a key email because he was looking after his kids.
Was he part of a "cover-up" at News International? Did he know emails were being deleted?
Was he aware of alleged payments to public officials by reporters at The Sun and the News of the World? This issue could get News Corp in trouble in the U.S.
And did News International exert improper political influence on governments?
4:15 pm The inquiry has adjourned.
4:04 pm When the subject of media regulation in the post-digital age came up, Murdoch told Leveson that those decisions are "above his pay grade."
3:52 pm Murdoch added that it was a matter of "huge regret" that UK police didn't prosecute more people over phone hacking when it first emerged.
3:41 pm Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt even briefed News Corp about the government's plans for inquiries following the announcement that Milly Dowler's voicemails had been hacked, according to one of the most potentially devastating emails released in evidence.
3:34 pm Emails from Frederic Michel suggest that Hunt gave Murdoch key information about how to get the deal past regulators Ofcom and the Office of Fair Trading.
3:31 pm Murdoch admitted that he wanted Hunt to be aware that delaying the BSkyB deal could be fatal for the bid.
3:22 pm Murdoch denied that he had traded support from The Sun's Scotland edition for Salmond's support for the BSkyB takeover.
3:18 pmAlex Salmond, the man leading the campaign to have Scotland made independent from the UK, could be the next politician in the firing line over links to Murdoch.
3:00 pm Michel used the phrase in an email to James Murdoch, who said that the use of the phrase was a "joke."
2:59 pm There was also the suggestion that Michel thought the dialogue was "absolutely illegal."
2:53 pm The revelations seem not to bode well for Hunt's career. Odds on him becoming the next minister to leave the cabinet were slashed from 20-1 to 5-4 at betting shop Paddy Power on Tuesday as Murdoch's testimony unfolded.
2:46 pm Murdoch argued that emails detailing Hunt's thoughts on the BSkyB deal should be taken with a "grain of salt." "This may have been just coming from his advisor trying to make nice," he said.
"This is a large scale deal that was in the hands of the CMS (Department of Culture, Media and Sports) ... and it was entirely reasonable to try to communicate with the relevant policy makers," Murdoch added.
2:33 pm So far, James Murdoch has been fairly effective at turning the debate away from his own behavior and toward the UK politicians who courted him.
2:31 pm There were also emails suggesting that Rebekah Brooks called George Osborne to discuss the deal.
2:29 pm Evidence presented by the inquiry suggested that Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt had briefed Frederic Michel, News Corp's senior vice president for government affairs and public policy in Europe, that the government would pass the BSkyB bid despite initial caution from regulator Ofcom.
2:19 pm There have been several accounts today of Murdoch losing his temper and using "colorful" language. That contrasts to his very measured public speaking style—but makes him seem more human.
2:16 pm James Murdoch's testimony resumed with more questioning about Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt's role in the BSkyB takeover. He was asked specifically about an email saying that Hunt didn't want to meet Murdoch after taking legal advice but would speak to him on the phone instead—which questioner Robert Jay suggested meant that they would have "surreptitious" contact.
1:00 pm The inquiry has broken for lunch for one hour. It is slated to recommence at 2:00 p.m. BST (9 a.m. New York time).
12:56 pm Murdoch said angrily that he would never expect "political support one way or another to translate into a minister behaving in an inappropriate way."
12:44 pm There was also a key email which suggested that Business Secretary Vince Cable told News Corp that there "shouldn't be a policy issue" with the BSkyB bid and the government should support it. Mr. Cable stepped down from handling the matter after being recorded by journalists from the Daily Telegraph saying he had "declared war" on Rupert Murdoch.
The meeting happened at the very start of the bidding process. It will again raise questions about whether News Corp had too much access to UK politicians.
Plenty of politicians who will be squirming after Murdoch's testimony, particularly Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt. He assured News Corp that its BSkyB bid would be approved despite suggestions that Mr. Cable was leaning other way. This also shows the divisions in the UK coalition government.
12:28 pm Theswitch in support from the Labour to the Conservative Party was mainly motivated by a lack of resources for UK soldiers in Afghanistan, Murdoch said.
12:24 pm He said "I'm always a direct person" when asked about an incident where he allegedly swore at the editor of The Independent newspaper over an anti-Murdoch article. He said that the incident took place in an office rather than the newsroom of The Independent.
12:15 pm Murdoch said that he wanted to "play with a straight bat" when it came to the relationship between News Corp and politicians
12:05 pm "It's true to say that politicians are eager to get their point across...but I haven't experienced that," he said when quizzed about News Corp's links to UK politicians.
12:03 pm Murdoch was questioned about the relationship between News Corp, the BBC and regulator Ofcom.
He denied that the freezing of the BBC license fee—which he has previously argued is anti-competitive—was "necessarily" good for BSkyB.
11:55 am Murdoch maintained that he did not make the "crass calculation" that support for Cameron by The Sun made it more likely that the BSkyB bid would be passed by government.
11:45 am News Corp abandoned its bid to own all of BSkyB in the wake of the phone hacking scandal—even though it looked likely to be passed by Cameron's government despite worries about News Corp controlling even more of the UK media
Murdoch said in his statement that he told Cameron The Sun would switch its allegiance in September 2009 over drinks. He also met the then Leader of the Opposition over dinner with Rebekah Brooks, ex-chief executive of News International and wife of Cameron's old friend Charlie.
Cameron famously rode an old police horse lent to Rebekah Brooks while out riding with Charlie Brooks.
Murdoch admitted speaking to Cameron about the BSkyB bid at a pre-Christmas dinner with Cameron at the Brooks home in 2010.
The links between News Corp and UK politicians have been a key focal point of media coverage of the scandal.
11:38 am Murdoch was much more surefooted and in command of the details about BSkyB than News International—probably reflecting that he was much more interested in the television side of the business than the newspapers.
Murdoch was also asked about his relationship with Prime Minister David Cameron. The support of News International's The Sun for Cameron was seen as key to his election success in the UK.
Murdoch maintained that he didn't want to know Cameron's views on matters relating to his company.
11:33 am Recess over, the panel spotlights James Murdoch's role as chairman at BSkyB , and whether pressure was put on government over its ownership of soccer rights.
11:21 am Recess called for 10 minutes.
11:18 am Murdoch referred to a "zero sum game" culture at UK newspapers—meaning that they are very tribal (which is true). This helped explain why he believed early Guardian stories about the spread of phone hacking were "smear."
11:12 am Murdoch denied repeatedly that there had been either a failure of governance at News International over phone hacking or a cover-up of the scandal.
11:07 am James Murdoch became slightly flustered under forensic cross-examination about the decision to pay Gordon Taylor, chief executive of the Professional Footballers' Association, £700,000 over alleged hacking of his voicemail. Questioner Jay even gets in a dig about Taylor being "hacked off."
10:51 amRobert Jay, the lawyer questioning Murdoch, returned again and again to the issue of how much Murdoch knew and why he didn't ask to know more.
10:48 am James Murdoch maintained that others at News International didn't point out how widespread phone hacking was. He said this might have been because he would have advocated they "cut out the cancer" by dismissing those involved.
10:40 amLord Justice Leveson, the judge leading the inquiry, intervened in questioning to ask Murdoch why he didn't ask how phone hacking happened and why wasn't it picked up?
Murdoch replied that he had asked editors to look at what had gone wrong and understood that existing internal controls had failed.
He deflected questions about News Corp's political influence.
Asked about the appointment of Sun Editor Dominic Mohan, who moved the newspaper away from the Labour Party toward the Conservative Party, he maintained that he didn't ask about Mohan's political opinions before his appointment. He added that his father Rupert and former chief executive Rebekah Brooks were mainly responsible for this appointment—often thought of as one of the most powerful in UK media.
Brooks was arrested in March.
10:20 am James Murdoch looked relaxed and confident as he sat down to give evidence this morning. He kicked off his testimony with some specifics about his early career.
Murdoch admitted early on that the control systems at News International failed while he was heading the business.
He added that he didn't read the News of the World cover to cover every week and didn't spot stories which could have been obtained illegally.
Murdoch appeared to be shifting the blame to Tom Crone and other lawyers at News International by stating that he hoped having legal managers in every newsroom would have kept the papers on the right track.

2015 Chevy Colorado Lifeguard ConceptPosted in News on November 22, 2013
Chevrolet unveiled its brand-new midsize 2015 Colorado truck at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week, confident of its versatility and capability amongst a midsize truck market that could arguably use some fresh competition. The Colorado is targeting the crossover SUV market, hoping to appeal to the adventurous-spirited who want truck-like capability and roomy bed storage but don't necessarily need the towing capacity or largeness offered by a fullsize or heavy duty truck. As seen by this concept Colorado show truck, also shown at the LA Auto Show, the Colorado can be nicely accessorized for adventure, whether it be a sandy beach camping trip or a snowy mountain expedition or a nice trail run to the secret fishing spot. On the West Coast, both beach and mountains could be an option for the same day! For sunrise surfing and sunset snowboarding, the Colorado is equipped due to its standard 193hp 2.5L I-4 and available 302hp 3.6L V-6 and 6,700 pound trailering capacity. The Colorado goes on sale in fall 2014. Unfortunately, a Lifeguard beach patrol Colorado may not be an option for the general public, but surely Mitch Buchanan and a counterpart Baywatch girl could have gotten away with it!

That looks right. So, one socket, with write allocate, >>should<< show: 10.5 GB/sec * .75 or 7.875 GBytes/sec and two sockets 15.75 GBytes/sec. The problem could be related to competitive/ineffective use of the shared L2 cache or a bottleneck in the North bridge. It would seem that a look at how the performance grows as you add cores within versus across sockets should reveal this. Two cores on separate sockets should show higher numbers if it's an L2 cache issue. If they are the same as those for 2 cores on one socket then you have a problem with the North bridge or getting full bandwidth from the FB-DIMMs. A complication in this test could be that in the one core per socket case the whole L2 cache is allocated to a single core.

Chronic Lack of Sleep Linked to Many Ills
We hear a lot about the effects of diet and exercise on health, but adequate sleep plays an equally important role.Studies show that chronic lack of sleep is linked to obesity, diabetes, heart disease and decreased mental health. The less rest and recovery your body gets, the weaker your immune system becomes. Studies show that sleep deprivation can also affect the body's response to vaccines. When the immune system is suppressed, the bodies' response is slower to build up sufficient antibodies to fight off disease. Despite growing awareness of the importance of getting enough shut-eye, more than 30 percent of U.S. adults get fewer than the recommended seven to eight hours a night. Experts suggest these tried and true tips for a good night's sleep: Avoid substances that contain caffeine, such as chocolate, coffee, teas and soft drinks, as well as nicotine and alcohol too close to bedtime. If you do have caffeine, try to make sure it is no closer than six hours before you plan to go to sleep. Alcohol is a depressant that not only interferes with deeper stages of sleep, but relaxes muscles in the throat, increasing chances of snoring and breathing problems. Nicotine is a stimulant, raising blood pressure and elevating the heart rate. Taking sleeping pills on a regular basis can also interfere with sleep cycles, and may create dependency. Try to establish a regular schedule for going to bed and waking up. Your body functions at its best when set patterns and routines are followed. By adjusting your "time clock" you will be more likely to fall asleep quicker and sleep more soundly. Set aside the last hour or so of the day as your time to unwind and relax. This will calm you down, and help you to avoid thoughts associated with stressful events of the day. Keep your bedroom as comfortable, dark and quiet as possible. If you are a light sleeper, try using "white noise" or very soft, soothing music to mask other sounds that might normally wake you up. A firm, supportive mattress and fresh clean sheets can make all the difference. If you've tried everything and you still can't fall asleep, don't fight it. Worrying about being awake serves no purpose and just makes matters worse. Instead, listen to your body, go ahead and get up, or spend this time doing some sort of relaxing activity such as reading until you feel sleepy.

The following is from the Jan. 15 City Council meeting. All council members were present.
The public is allowed to speak on any subject not on the agenda. Speakers generally are limited to three minutes, but the time can be adjusted by the council.
•Roger Butow told the council that the mural on the side of Hobie Sports is an ad, not public art.
"It is a sign, space was sold," Butow said. "I believe the Arts Commission was duped. I think all of us were snookered."
Butow first brought the matter to the attention of the council via emails, calling the information distressing for city officials, but even more so for him. He said he also had spoken with the police department and city manager about a course of action.
•Walker Reed presented some reusable shopping bags to the council in gratitude for the passage of the plastic bag ban, which became effective Jan. 1.
•Lee Winocur Field announced that UC Irvine professors and other qualified teachers will be conducting some Osher Lifelong Learning Institute courses at the Susi Q. Courses will include Modern American Women Writers and Science Salon, a discussion group. Most of the courses will be held at the Woodbridge Onken Classroom. The six-class courses cost $100.
For more information call (949) 451-1403; for help with enrollment, call (949) 824-5414.
•Arts Commissioner Pat Kollenda reported on upcoming arts and cultural activities in town.
•Lynn Steg thanked the city for Treasure Island Park but said something should be done about skateboarders and cyclists on park pathways from which they are banned. She suggested signage.
•Taylor Greene urged more water conservation efforts in the Laguna Canyon Road islands. Councilwoman Toni Iseman informed him that the Beautification Council is working on it, as well as she and Mayor Pro Tem Elizabeth Pearson, as part of the Village Entrance Project.
Iseman said she would like to see rebates for the use of gray water.
However, City Manager John Pietig said there is no way to get gray water from the treatment plant in South Laguna to city parks, but other conservation improvements have been installed.
•Margaret Butt suggested the city should do a better job of cleaning up Lang Park. She said she sweeps around the park and leaves piles for the city staff but they don't collect it.
Council members and staff report on events they have attended, people with whom they have met and other items of public interest.
•City Treasurer Laura Parisi announced that she would again be out of the office Jan. 18. She was scheduled to attend the first League of California Cities' Revenue and Taxation Committee meeting.
The council authorized Parisi's participation on the committee and approved up to $800 in annual travel-related expenses associated with her participation and a transfer of $800 from the treasurer's outside service budget to the treasurer's training, travel and dues budget account.
•Iseman congratulated the Laguna Beach Woman's Club and the American Association of University Women for a program conducted by UCI Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders Institute at the club to educate the public about current research on Alzheimer's.
The councilwoman also commended the Planning Commission on the success of the downtown walking tour at which ideas for potential changes and improvements to the Downtown Specific Plan were aired.
She announced attending a meeting for elected officials with Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chair Allison Macfarlane in San Juan Capistrano. Macfarlane was asked to have San Onofre cured before it was reopened.
•Councilman Steve Dicterow said that since the last City Council meeting, he had participated in 11 events and/or meetings as a City Council representative, and he held nine meetings with various citizens in town on topics unrelated to any of the Jan. 15 agenda items.
•Pearson said she worked with the Laguna Beach Chamber of Commerce, the Laguna Beach Visitors & Conference Bureau and Assistant City Manager Christa Johnson to submit a presentation regarding economic development in town, including the information that Laguna is the only city that uses the arts as an economic engine, generating more than $49 million a year.
A report on a proposed Economic Development Plan was pulled from the agenda to allow time for a review by the council's Business Assistance subcommittee.
Pearson also said that the Chamber of Commerce has developed a central calendar for all the events happening in Laguna Beach, and she encouraged everyone to place all events on the central calendar to avoid conflicts.
Pearson said she and Iseman are very close to presenting the Village Entrance proposal to the council and public. She led the audience in singing "Happy Birthday to You" to a blushing City Attorney Philip Kohn.
•The Downtown Walking Tour had about 50 more participants than the tour held four years ago, according to Mayor Kelly Boyd, who attended both. Boyd said major topics for the Downtown Specific Plan would be discussed at the Jan. 30 Planning Commission meeting.
•Pietig postponed item No. 11, approval of a celebration of public art in Heisler Park on May 19, due to a conflict with the annual Charm House Tour, always scheduled the Sunday after Mother's Day. Pietig said the Arts Commission would choose another date.
Consent calendar items are approved unanimously in one motion unless a member of the City Council, staff, or public "pulls" the item, which then requires opening it for public comment and a separate vote.
Among the items approved unanimously:
•Rejection of claims filed by the law offices of Edward R. Danoff Jr., on behalf of Gloria L. Colon and Nikos Trikaminas; by Adler Law on behalf of Lori Clinton; by Rachel Watt and two claims filed by Jessica Costa, one including five minors.
Colon is asking for $1 million in damages. Colon claimed she stepped in a hole and fell while delivering mail. Trikaminas is asking for $100,000 for loss of consortium.
Clinton is seeking damages of more than $1 million for a traffic accident in which a northbound vehicle lost control, crossed into the southbound lanes and impact her vehicle. Her claim cites the failure to properly guard lanes of travel on a state highway within county unincorporated territory.
Watt claims she drove her vehicle into an angled parking space in front of Wells Fargo Bank and damaged the bumper on the curb. Damage was estimated at between $200 and $400.
Costa and five minors are asking for damages in excess of $166 million, alleging harassment. Costa also filed a claim for $1,205 for towing, impound fees, stress and time. The vehicle was parked in a public garage with expired registration and five delinquent parking citations.
•Feb.12 set for council interviews and appointments to the Recreation Committee and the Parking, Traffic and Circulation Committee.
Feb. 5 is the deadline to submit applications to the City Clerk's office.
•Appointment of Dicterow as the City Council representative to the Orange County Library Advisory Committee and Councilman Robert Whalen as the alternate.
•Approval of one-time discounted parking at the ACT V lot from $7 to $3 when sold as part of the Festival Season Passport, to be reimbursed by the festivals, based on the number of passports sold.
•Approval of competition guidelines for a temporary sculpture installation in the red telephone booth on Forest Avenue.
•Approval of the deaccession of Jorg Dubin's sculpture "Wave Point" and the installation of "Quintet" as described by Dubin to satisfy the Art in Public Places requirement for the property at 690 S. Coast Hwy.
Deaccession is the term used for the removal and sale of a work of art from a museum collection, preferably using the funds to acquire a new piece.
"Wave Point," which was installed in 2003 and has suffered damage, cost $6,000. "Quintet" will cost $7,000. The exchange was recommended by the Arts Commission.
•Adoption of amendments to the definitions in the city code related to extended care facilities and a request for California Coastal Commission certification of modifications to the Local Coastal Program.
•Purchase of three propane-fueled replicas of California-style trolleys, costing $529,173.
•Approval of the 2013 Patriots Day Parade; "No Parking" signs on Ocean Avenue, along the parade route and assembly areas; "bus parking only" signs on outbound Laguna Canyon Road between Forest Avenue and Woodland Drive; closure of designated streets from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; and use public address systems.
Pulled for discussion:
•Temporary closure of Oak Street and Brooks Street between Temple Terrace and Catalina Streets on Halloween each year; provision by the city of the necessary barricades and assistance with traffic control; approved 5-0.
•Approval of competition guidelines for the installation of a sculpture and mural to satisfy the Art-in-Public Places requirement for the construction of the Lifeguard Headquarters and the appropriation of $60,000 from the Art-in-Lieu Fund to establish a budget of $103,000 for the project; approved 5-0.
Items require separate discussion and citizen input, if desired, before the council makes a determination.
Draft Legislative platform approved 5-0
The council adopted a state and federal legislative platform that allows the mayor and/or the city manager to submit letters on legislation that affects the city, if time is of the essence.
Sometimes the League of California Cities requests letters of support or opposition to legislation from members, of which Laguna is one. The requests do not always coincide with the city council's meeting schedule, which can limit the city's ability to influence legislation, according to Assistant City Manager Christa Johnson.
Adoption of the platform enables the city to more actively participate, she told the council.
Additions to the draft platform made by council members included support for legislation that would increase funding for mass transit systems and local transit projects, for legislation that would require public utilities to underground power lines in high risk areas and legislation that funds undergrounding.
Brakes put on Goff Street parking ban 5-0
Public Works Director Steve May was directed to work with an El Camino Del Mar resident who wants parking prohibited for about 115 feet on the westerly side of Goff Street and his neighbors who don't.
The proposal was pulled by Pietig from the August agenda to allow more time to work out a solution with neighbors.
"But we were not successful," Pietig said.
This time, a loading zone has been added to the proposal. However, if no progress is made, May was directed to report back to the council for reconsideration.
Designation of Treasurer's liaison approved 3-2
The council revised the city's investment policy to state that the city treasurer will appoint the liaison/deputy treasurer, subject to the council's approval, if circumstances require timely action and the treasurer is not available.
The approval was opposed by Whalen and Pearson who had previously voted for a motion that the council would designate a staff member as liaison, which failed for lack of a majority.
These hearing are required by law to be legally noticed. Any court challenges may be limited to issues that are raised at the hearing or in written correspondence received by the city at or before the hearing.
Mozambique appeal continued 4-0, Whalen recused
The council continued an appeal of a Planning Commission approval of rooftop deck , furnishings and the elevator that accessed the deck.
Whalen recused himself from the hearing because he was a commissioner when the project came before the commission.
The council wanted a reconsideration of the size of the elevator, which the fire department preferred, and a demonstration of the impact of umbrellas and heaters on neighbors' views.
Any action taken must be reported publicly
•Conference related to negotiations with the police employees, municipal employees and marine safety employee associations and unrepresented management employees.
•Conference with legal counsel on existing litigation: Pahos/Stephens vs. Laguna Beach.
•Conference with legal counsel on anticipated litigation related to a sewer spill on Summit Drive and enforcement of view preservation regulations.
Any action taken must be reported publicly. None was announced.
The council will next meet for its annual retreat at 9 a.m. Saturday at South Coast Water District. The next regularly scheduled meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Jan. 29 in the City Council Chambers, 505 Forest Ave.
Meeting agendas are available by 4 p.m. on the Thursday prior to the meeting in the City Clerk's office in City Hall, 505 Forest Ave. Agendas are also published on the city's web site http://www.lagunabeachcity.net.

Speedtest.net is the must-have app if you're curious about data speeds on your Windows Phone. Based off of the site of the same name, the official app finally came to Windows Phone 8 in January and quickly received a bug fix shortly thereafter.
Version 1.1 is now live in the Store and it brings two new tings to the table, including a fix to a bug that "caused cell network tests to be seen as Wi-Fi tests". That's certainly useful and good to know.
The other feature is the ability to remove ads permanently from the app—something we always prefer to have the option to do. Speedtest.net does it in an interesting way: in-app purchase. Simply hop to the About and scroll down until you see "Upgrade". There you will be prompted to fork over a fair $0.99 to Ookla to get rid of those pesky ads, forever.
In case you're wondering, such a technique does carry over to multiple devices. Just like previous app purchases, at first it won't recognize that you have removed the ads on the newer phone, so you must hit "Upgrade" again. But upon doing so, you'll be told you've already purchased that feature and "installing" it means a simple unlock.
A pretty cool update and necessary if you want to measure your cell or Wi-Fi network speed. Pick up Speedtest.net here in the Windows Phone Store. Windows Phone 8 only. Thanks, afgzee, for the tip!

Chiropractor Who Gave Skechers Such A Great Quote Is Also Married To A Skechers Staffer
As we mentioned earlier today, among the many pieces of evidence in the FTC's $40 million settlement with Skechers over deceptive advertising for the shoe maker's toning sneakers is one claim about a supposed "independent" clinical study undertaken by a chiropractor — who may not have been totally unbiased in his research.
In ads for the shoes, a Dr. Steve Gautreau of California is quoted as saying:
After performing a six week clinical trial testing the benefits of SKECHERS Shape-ups, I am confident in recommending them to patients to increase their low back endurance and improve gluteal strength. Patients also benefited from weight loss and improved body composition.
But the FTC says that maybe Skechers should have gotten that quote from a different doctor, one that isn't married to someone who works for the company:
The FTC alleges that this study did not produce the results claimed in the ad, that Skechers failed to disclose that Dr. Gautreau is married to a Skechers marketing executive, and that Skechers paid Dr. Gautreau to conduct the study.
Today's Skechers settlement is the second such settlement reached in just the last year. Back in September, Reebok was hit for a $25 million bill on similar allegations, though we don't recall any charges of familial bias in that case.

Sitting in the Jennifer Aniston/Jason Bateman movie "The Switch" a few weeks ago, I had no reason to believe that my job would ever cross my mind during the next two hours. I was enjoying a pleasant yet predictable movie, immersed in the troubles of fictional characters and a far-fetched plot.
Early in the movie, two of the characters appeared on treadmills at a health club. Not a fake club with a fake name, but a real club. Over the shoulder of Jeff Goldblum, I could see the Equinox sign as plain as day. I was jarred back to reality, and my mind started to wander. After searching my memory to recall how many other films have featured a scene in a health club and wondering whether Equinox paid to be in the film or whether the company was paid for the use of the facility, I then began to wonder whether scenes of people working out help to demystify health clubs or serve to perpetuate the stereotypes many people have of clubs.
The next week, I contacted Equinox and found out that the company did not pay for placement in "The Switch" or any other movie or TV shows in which the clubs have been featured.
"Most often, production companies approach us because they want the gym featured in their film to be an actual Equinox," Nicole Moke of Equinox's public relations department said. "We pride ourselves on our commitment to quality, innovation and the member experience and appreciate when approached for such projects. We do not accept a location fee from production companies. We donate our space in exchange for brand exposure."
Brand exposure. Industry exposure. In a culture so obsessed with Hollywood, it makes perfect sense to use film and TV to expose more people to the inside of fitness facilities and to the idea that working out at a club is as normal as driving a car.
This is especially important as analysis of results from the American Time Use Survey found that only 5 percent of Americans engage in any vigorous exercise on an average day, and only 2.2 percent use exercise equipment. TV viewing accounted for half of leisure time activity (2.8 hours per day). In addition, data from the movie industry shows that movie ticket sales increased during the recession as Americans planned relatively cheap two-hour escapes.
So, why not use America's sedentary TV viewing addiction and movie obsession (and social networking/YouTube obsessions, for that matter) to the industry's advantage?
24 Hour Fitness must have thought the same thing. It has already put together an online campaign showing real members and how their membership at 24 Hour has changed their lives. The videos are posted on the company's Facebook page, YouTube and a 24 Hour community page called 12MillionLives.com.
Why not create your own YouTube "show" with episodes a few minutes in length that show real members and real club staff working toward a fitness goal? Or post videos showing a new member learning how to use the equipment? By using video and the Internet to demystify what goes on inside the doors and to show the real people who walk through those doors, you could open a whole new world to a whole new group of people.
It wouldn't be mandatory to have Jennifer Aniston or Jason Bateman appear in your video, but it probably wouldn't hurt either.

Central Ohio roads are getting safer, but the most dangerous intersection in the area still logged 233 crashes over the past three years.
Central Ohio roads are getting safer, but the most dangerous intersection in the area still logged 233 crashes over the past three years.
A list of the 40 central Ohio intersections with the most crashes released by the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission shows the intersection of Cleveland Avenue and Morse Road took the top spot with 233 accidents that resulted in 69 injuries from 2009 to 2011.
"What we try to do with this list is point out areas from a regional standpoint we think are areas that should be looked into a little more closely," senior planner Joe Fish said.
"We want to help agencies find areas they should look at in more detail ... This serves as a starting place. They can do more detailed engineering studies to try and identify the safety problem and try to address it."
Having a list to refer to also can help municipalities acquire funding to address safety problems, Fish said.
"It provides a level of documentation for police agencies as they try to seek funding for safety problems," he said, noting that ODOT offers safety dollars.
"Having the location on a high crash list is one way of documenting the problem."
The intersection of Cleveland Avenue and Morse Road has been on the list for many years, but there was a decrease in the number of accidents after some work was done there, according to MORPC.
According to information on the list, the second phase of the Morse Road project was completed in 2010 after work on turn lanes and signal rephrasing was completed.
In 2009, there were 104 accidents at the intersection. That number fell to 62 in 2010 then nudged up to 67 in 2011.
Intersections on the list can vary, Fish said, but some are often repeaters.
"The majority of the list does stay pretty static from year to year. (An intersection) might go up or down in terms of ranking, but Cleveland and Morse tends to be No. 1," he said. "It's always hovering around the top, but then at the same time, some that were on (the list) in past years are no longer on the list and hopefully, they'll stay off the list."
Rounding out the rest of the top 10 on the list are:
* West Broad Street-U.S. 40 and North Wilson Road with 115 crashes.
* Innis Road at Westerville Road-state Route 3 with 110 accidents.
* Cleveland Avenue at Oakland Park with 101 accidents.
* East Dublin-Granville Road-state Route 161 and Maple Canyon Drive with 153 crashes.
* Morse Road at Westerville Road-state Route 3, where there were 156 accidents,
* South Hamilton Road-state Route 317 at East Livingston Avenue with 139 crashes.
* East Broad Street-state Route 16 at Waggoner Road with 126 accidents, one of them fatal.
* East Broad Street-state Route 16 and James Road with 147 crashes, one of them fatal.
* South Central Avenue-Harrisburg Pike at West Mound Street with 91 accidents, two of them fatal.
The list is compiled based on the number of crashes, traffic volume and severity.
The complete list of intersections is available at morpc.org/transportation/safety/safety.asp.
A list of the intersections with the most accidents involving pedestrians and cyclists is expected soon.

HILLSBORO, Ore., Dec. 20, 2011 – SolarWorld, the largest U.S. solar manufacturer, has been supported by a wide spectrum of installers, distributors and project developers during a turbulent year that led to antidumping and anti-subsidy trade cases that SolarWorld filed against China.
SolarWorld filed the trade petitions with the U.S. government on Oct. 19 in hopes of restoring robust and fair international competition; in response, the U.S. government issued a unanimous preliminary determination agreeing that Chinese practices are harming the U.S. industry.
Since the cases were filed, many customers have begun or expanded their business relationships with SolarWorld. Both new and existing customers have stated their confidence in the company and its commitment to U.S. manufacturing and environmental practices:
A recent report from Switzerland's Bank Sarasin titled "Solar Industry: Survival of the Fittest in a Fiercely Competitive Marketplace" highlighted SolarWorld as one of the "fittest" photovoltaic companies to navigate an industry shakeout, partly in light of its coveted sustainability record. SolarWorld also is rated the world's most sustainable producer on the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition's annual Solar Scorecard.
"We would like to thank our strong and growing customer base for their loyalty and commitment during an extremely difficult year for the U.S. solar manufacturing industry," said Kevin Kilkelly, president of SolarWorld Americas, the company's commercial arm in the Americas. "With the support of our customer partners, we look forward to better years ahead once China's unfair trade practices are addressed."
SolarWorld also reported that it would close out 2011 with increased sales in the U.S. market, compared with 2010. The gain in unit volume came despite abruptly lower industry pricing, according to SolarWorld, as a result of China's use of illegal subsidies and artificially and temporarily low prices to destroy U.S. manufacturers. Leading the Coalition for American Solar Manufacturing (CASM) (www.americansolarmanufacturing.org), a coalition of more than 150 industry companies employing more than 11,000 U.S. workers, SolarWorld contends that China's anti-competitive trade is neither commercially nor environmentally sustainable.
China's campaign has caused at least a dozen U.S. domestic manufacturers to lay off workers in the last two years. Unfortunately, Chinese manufacturers are continuing to expand their subsidized manufacturing capacity and to sell at dumped prices, according to CASM, in a sustained effort to take control of the U.S. market.

Forward-looking statements typically contain words such as "expect," "believe," "estimate," "anticipate," or similar words indicating that future outcomes are uncertain. Forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions, expectations, plans and projections that are believed valid when made.

SolarWorld manufactures and sells solar power solutions and in doing so contributes to a cleaner energy supply worldwide. As the largest solar producer in the United States and Europe, SolarWorld employs about 3,200 people and carries out production in Hillsboro, Ore., and Freiberg and Arnstadt, Germany. From the raw material silicon to solar wafers, cells and panels, SolarWorld manages all stages of production ‒ including its own research and development. The company maintains high social standards at all locations across the globe and is committed to resource- and energy-efficient production. Headquartered in Bonn, Germany, SolarWorld was founded in 1998 and has been publicly traded on the stock market since 1999. For more information, visit www.solarworld-usa.com.

We are thrilled to continue in this path of mutual growth with WBENC's corporate members and our fellow WBEs.
Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) September 30, 2013
Shapiro, a leader in Customs brokerage and cargo management founded in 1915, has been approved for recertification as a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) through the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). WBENC is the nation's largest third party certifier of businesses owned and operated by women in the United States. WBENC certification is accepted by more than 1,000 corporations representing America's most prestigious brands, in addition to many states, cities and other entities.
WBENC's national standard of certification, implemented by the Women Presidents' Educational Organization (WPEO), is a meticulous process including an in-depth review of the business, including a site inspection. The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by a woman or women.
Since becoming a WBENC member in 2012, Shapiro has been leveraging its certification through participation in local and national events. In March of 2013, Shapiro attended WBENC's Summit & Salute in Baltimore, MD, a two-day program filled with important business growth principles, informal business development opportunities, and one-on-one networking sessions with corporate members. Not only did Shapiro gather key prospecting contacts, but also founded a vendor relationship with Cynthia Brown, President of Advertising, Premiums & Incentives (API). In the midst of Shapiro's rebranding initiative, API became a valuable partner in meeting deadlines for quality promotional materials. In June of 2013, Shapiro attended its first WBENC National Conference & Business Fair in Minneapolis, MN. The four-day conference is the largest event of its kind in the nation for women's business enterprises, bringing America's corporate and federal government buyers face-to-face with America's women-owned business suppliers.
Shapiro has been active in attending local Regional Partner Organization (RPO) events that provide an opportunity to connect with corporate and government council members, meet regional and national WBE representatives, and learn best practices in leveraging its WBENC certification. Shapiro actively participates in the Greater Women's Business Council's (GWBC®) marketing committee and recently attended the RPO's signature Power of Partnering Conference in August. The company is also looking forward to attending the upcoming Ladies Achieving Continuous Excellence (LACE) Awards in November in Atlanta, GA.
"Our first year of certification was filled with outstanding opportunities to connect with business leaders and has opened doors we didn't even know existed," stated Brunella Reid, Senior Manager of Marketing & Customer Development. "We are thrilled to continue in this path of mutual growth with WBENC's corporate members and our fellow WBEs."
Shapiro, a third generation family-owned business founded in 1915, provides creative and flexible logistics services. With six offices, over 100 employees, and worldwide strategic alliances, Shapiro is the supply chain partner that delivers customized, compliant, and reliable solutions to address your specific import and export needs. Only Shapiro has an experienced and personable staff that truly cares about your company and commits themselves to proactively achieving your business goals. We Deliver. Problem Solved.™

From Shanken News Daily, a look at the rise of rye whiskey.
Rye Whiskey Rising Fast, Spurred By Dynamic On-Trade Cocktail Culture
The U.S. whisk(e)y renaissance and vibrant cocktail culture have created ideal timing for rye whiskey's serious return to the marketplace. The category, which never really recovered from Prohibition (1920-1933) and was relegated to near-oblivion as other whisk(e)y categories filled the void, is now back on track and making headway with support from some of the biggest U.S. whiskey producers.

Samsung Droid Charge Review: The Droid Brand Goes 4G
Introduction, Design and Ergonomics
Droid. When the brand launched, this was a name that stood for something. While the iPhone enthralled consumers with a friendly, easy, but ostensibly restrictive experience, Droid retaliated with the motto "Droid Does." It was all about superior functionality, and in that regard it was a success. Today we'll be looking at the Droid Charge, a phone coming by way of Samsung.
The Droid Charge is the second 4G LTE phone to hit Verizon's network, making it an obvious competitor to the HTC Thunderbolt (along with the recently released LG Revolution). Like the Thunderbolt, the Charge is a member of a breed of single-core flagship phone that is already in the process of becoming extinct. Let's have a look at what else powers Samsung's Droid.
Many buyers are too quick to dismiss phones based of hardware specs, however – the single core tells us little about the Charge's performance as a phone. As the first Droid to come from Samsung's stable, this is actually quite an interesting device. Will the brand remain meaningful on a device from this manufacturer? Or is it being diluted?
Keep reading our review of the Samsung Droid Charge for all the info!!
Design and Ergonomics
Although given the Droid label, it's hard to tell the Droid Charge apart from most Samsung phones at-a-glance. The design itself is classic Samsung, consisting of a solid black glossy front surrounded by smooth, tapered glossy plastic on the sides and rear. The entire underside of the phone is a gray plastic cover with what a sort of faux carbon-fiber pattern. Although this panel has a "with Google" label, along with a "4G LTE" badge, there's no Droid branding to be found anywhere on the phone's exterior.
Like most smartphones from Samsung, the Charge looks better in a showroom than it does on your kitchen table. There glossy trim that's so beautiful at first blush quickly becomes gummed up with fingerprints and scratches, forcing users into choosing between constant polishing and accepting a phone that seems perpetually dirty.
Yet while the appearance of the Charge can be difficult to maintain, the device is at least comfortable when kept in-hand. The Charge weighs in at just over 5 ounces, which makes it a little more than an ounce lighter than the HTC Thunderbolt and almost an ounce lighter than the LG Revolution. This difference in weight is noticeable when handling the device. The Charge has a slight curvature to the rear panel which terminates in a lip about half an inch from the bottom of the device. The weight and the curve combine to make the Charge a very comfortable phone for long calls. Keep in mind, however, that this remains a large phone – those with small hands may have to stretch to keep a solid grip.
The power and volume buttons on the Charge are located to the right and left respectively when the phone is held with the display facing the user, and the placement of those buttons is quite natural, leaving them directly underneath the user's fingertips. A mini-USB port can be found on the left hand side and HDMI on the right – the HDMI port, however, is covered by a finicky plastic tab that must be removed before use.
Video News
I was told by Samsung support that the phone does not have an internal GPS, and uses other location based services that require that data network to be functional. Do you know whether this is true?
I Currently have a Droid Charge, took the offer for it from the call issue with the Fascinate, before that i had a Motorola Droid (D1). I am a member of several sites, most who know me will be from XDA, and http://www.droidcharge.net I am learning more about android every day and absolutely love this OS. I research and test anything i post and download any files to one of my online storage accounts, so you can count on links I post to work and anything posted was tested to make sure it worked at least reasonably close to as advertised. and all instructions will be thorough and easy to follow. After almost 10 years in the Army it was necessary to get good at explaining things so that even the DUMB AS HELL soldiers could get it, no I am not trying to insult anyone's intelligence, it's just the writing style I have become used to. I hope I can learn good stuff here as well as help those less experienced than myself.

Who knows what the future will hold? Well, heaven knows we don't or we'd have already won the lottery a few times and retired to a private island somewhere. However, we can look at the past to make a few reasonable predictions– such as the companies in the free and open source software community that are going to have a major impact on the market in 2008.
Once again we've read the tea leaves in preparation for the coming year, to attempt to foresee the companies and technologies that will be preeminent in 2008. The criteria for selection? Obviously, picking the" Top 20″ companies is a fairly subjective exercise, and in the end it was a matter of opinion. However, to make the list, a company had to be involved in the FOSS community (one way or another) and have a major impact on that community.
Just being a consumer of FOSS technologies isn't enough– a company needs to contribute in some way. And we stuck to commercial entities this year, even though some organizations (like the Free Software Foundation, and Software in the Public Interest) obviously have a major impact as well.
To come up with a list of movers and shakers we conferred with industry experts, conducted a reader poll through October online, and (of course) drew on our own observations of the industry. Having done so, we now humbly present our list to you.

Pumpkin record is broken at Topsfield Fair
The elusive one-ton pumpkin barrier was shattered Friday at the Topsfield Fair, when Ron Wallace of Greene, R.I., tipped the scales at 2,009 pounds. Wallace was ecstatic when the numbers appeared on the scale, repeatedly yelling "Ron Wallace is back!'' and slamming his fist into his chest.
Wallace was the first person to break 1,500 pounds, at the 2006 fair, and had been under a huge amount of pressure to break the ton record after other growers got a peek at his pumpkin patch during a tour last month. At the time, he was growing two huge pumpkins, both of which showed one-ton potential.
Wallace took home $5,500 for first place, plus a $10,000 bonus for being the first to break the one-ton barrier.

How I Went to an Energy Storage Conference and a Data Analytics Session Broke Out
Rodney Dangerfield had a great line about how he went to the fights and a hockey game broke out. It was a concise and witty commentary on the frequency of bench-emptying fist fights between hockey teams. We're going to witness a similar trend in energy storage conferences. Many will transform into data analytics events.
Energy storage has extraordinary potential to transform electric utility operations and business models. There are many moving parts to it – there are almost daily announcements about new breakthroughs in chemistries that improve energy density, safety, and number of roundtrip charges and discharges.
Some moving parts of the energy storage market will mirror trends and characteristics of solar energy. Energy storage breakthroughs will result in rapid decreases in costs that have been witnessed in solar technology production and deployment. Privately-owned energy storage, like rooftop solar, will create whole new businesses that focus on deployment and maintenance of batteries and local jobs that require skilled workers. Energy storage solutions will also challenge utilities and regulators – another example of how technology outpaces policy. Just like net metering and feed-in tariffs were created for distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, special tariffs will be created for energy storage assets that are not owned by utilities.
There is added complexity to energy storage tariffs insofar as batteries can deliver a variety of difference services to utilities ranging from ancillary services to keeping the lights on for specific periods of time during grid service disruptions. While solar panels constitute opportunities for their owners to reduce purchases of electricity from a utility or sell power back to it, energy storage has a greater variety of potential business cases. In addition to firming renewable sources of generation, owners of energy storage assets will have new opportunities to transact with utilities or with energy services aggregators. The basis of these transactions may be to place distributed energy storage assets alongside solar generation to enable greater participation in demand response programs. Today, demand response usually means a business must modify their operations to accommodate reductions in energy use. For some businesses, that may not be feasible as they lack that flexibility in their use of energy, or don't want to invest in management systems that support automated responses to DR events. But if that business can rely on energy storage to take up the slack for demand response or other utility requests for capacity, voltage, or frequency responses, then they can earn money leveraging their energy storage assets.
And that's how a funny thing happened when I attended a recent Agrion event about energy storage. A data analytics event broke out. In order for companies to participate in these new types of transactions, there's a significant amount of data that must be gathered and analyzed. One company, Bosch Energy Storage Solutions has focused on development of complex software analytics and algorithms to define customer power needs. They are building data sets to forecast energy use patterns based on a number of historical and realtime data sources. They look 24 hours ahead to anticipate energy use as well as review the last week and the last year's data to understand historical patterns of use in order to formulate the best energy storage management decisions. Another company, Stem, created a software platform that uses predictive algorithms to manage individual energy storage systems and aggregated storage systems to perform load reduction in conjunction with utilities' operational needs. They collect granular usage data at a higher resolution than what is gathered by smart meters and combine this data with tariff information to build reliable financial models and determine the optimal times to discharge and charge batteries.
These are two examples where data analytics applications help run energy storage as cost-effectively as possible, and help build the business cases for sales resources to sell storage solutions to customers. There will be many more applications to follow that help energy storage solution purchasers determine which technologies and what storage applications make the most sense based on unique requirements. So don't be surprised if you go to an energy storage event and discover that it's a data analytics event too.
