Business still may be slow for many electrical contractors, with much of the construction industry remaining in the doldrums, but electrical pros specializing in major transmission work are experiencing a boom. Utilities and other transmission-line developers are scrambling to upgrade line reliability and bring mandated solar and wind energy to market before a number of state--mandated deadlines kick in, and the result is billions of dollars worth of new projects now underway or in the planning stages.
In fact, transmission investments could exceed $160 billion between 2012 and 2020 according to The C Three Group, an Atlanta-based utility-industry forecasting and consulting firm. The firm's January 2012 quarterly focus highlighted several bullish data points, suggesting strong transmission-sector growth:
• ITC Holdings—the largest independent U.S. transmission developer—is planning more than $24.1 billion in new investments, including more than 8,686 miles of new or upgraded lines.
• Texas, alone, has more than 9,175 miles of new lines planned through 2020.
• U.S. and Canadian utilities and independent developers have nearly 4,000 substation projects planned over the next eight years. Columbus, Ohio-based American Electric Power, alone, has 268 projects planned in that timespan.
• In December 2011, C Three Group analysts added more than $2.7 billion and 1,408 miles of transmission line—and related substation projects—to its database of planned investments.
These estimates are in line with those from several other leading forecasting and consulting organizations. The Brattle Group, an international consulting firm based in Cambridge, Mass., is predicting U.S. transmission expenditures will average $12 billion to $16 billion per year for the next two decades, according to Johannes Pfeifenberger, principal and utility practice manager.
And IHS Emerging Energy Research, also based in Cambridge, anticipates approximately $100 billion in transmission spending in the next 10 years, with 40 percent of that figure devoted to high-voltage lines (i.e., those rated higher than 345 kilovolts).
"The demand for these projects is because of a number of factors," said Jean Rollins, managing partner of The C Three Group. First, she said, a majority of states have established renewable portfolio standards (RPSs), requiring specific percentages of the total amount of electricity sold by utilities to be generated by renewable resources. Deadlines for meeting those requirements are fast approaching. For example, California utilities to must meet a 33 percent RPS by 2020.
"That's 40 million people and a huge amount of electricity, and it's going to suck in as much renewable energy as it can get," Rollins said, noting that this growing demand is prompting a surge transmission construction.
"A lot of the renewable resources are located where people aren't located. There aren't a lot of people living where there's a lot of wind," she said, adding that utility-scale solar can be just as remote from population centers. "You just can't build that in downtown Los Angeles. It's going to need to be out in the desert."
Adding to the needs raised by RPS legislation, Rollins said, utilities also face calls to improve overall system reliability as a result of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The legislation outlines stringent fines in the case of reliability failure, so utilities are looking at upgrading or replacing infrastructure that could be up to 50 years old.
Pfeifenberger sees a similar need to revitalize our aging lines and substations. The last big transmission boom ran from the 1960s through to the early 1980s, he said.
"Since then, we almost stopped investing in transmission. By not investing much for 20 years, there's a bit of catch-up that needs to be done," Pfeifenberger said.
Getting any transmission project from planning to actual construction is a time-consuming process. Up to a decade can be spent getting siting and environmental approvals, Rollins said. And, as Pfeifenberger said, the effort to determine who will pay for such upgrades and expansions can add even more time to the project schedule.
"Traditionally, each utility has had to build its own transmission system," he said.
However, remote renewable resources mean more transmission lines are crossing state borders, so multiple public utilities commissions can be involved in determining which customers pay. Additionally, such scenarios also mean multiple environmental reviews, which is especially complicated if only one of the states will be benefitting from the renewable resource.
"That's always a challenge," Pfeiffenberger said, "because nobody wants to look at a transmission line."
However, the overwhelming need to feed our growing collection of flat-screen TVs and computer equipment with ever-cleaner electricity means the transmission boom is unlikely to be hindered by local challenges. And the electrical supply chain already is benefiting from developers' efforts.
"I was just talking with a cable manufacturer the other day, and he's completely booked up," Rollins said. And, she said, the economic benefits of many such projects can continue long after the last wire has been run. "If you know how to maintain a wind turbine, you've got full employment for a lifetime."

This study will determine if the level of virus in HIV-infected patients taking antiretroviral medications for prolonged periods decreases or persists at a stable level. It will also examine whether new gene changes (mutations) occur during drug suppression.
HIV-infected patients who are 18 years of age or older, have been enrolled in another NIH protocol, have been suppressed on antiretroviral therapy and have very low levels of virus in their blood may be eligible for this 5-year (or more) study.
Participants come to the NIH Clinical Center about every 6 months for a physical examination, routine and research blood tests and leukapheresis to collect white blood cells for T cell analysis. For leukapheresis, blood is collected through a vein much like donating whole blood, but the blood is directed through a machine that separates and extracts the white cells and returns the rest of the blood components to the patient. Patients may also have an optional third clinic visit each year for another blood draw.

Ariel Castro's house to be demolished Wednesday
CLEVELAND (AP) — The nonprofit responsible for demolishing the Cleveland house where three women were imprisoned and raped for a decade is taking additional precautions to ensure that rubble does not end up for sale online.
The Plain Dealer in Cleveland (http://bit.ly/11KrBXM) reports that the Cuyahoga Land Bank plans to complete the demolition of Ariel Castro's house in one day and shred all the building materials. A contractor is tearing down the home at no cost Wednesday.
The land bank's president, Gus Frangos, says the county is trying to keep away scavengers who might try to sell the rubble as what is known as "murderabilia," though nobody died there.
The 53-year-old Castro was sentenced last week to life in prison plus 1,000 years after pleading guilty to hundreds of kidnapping and rape charges.

Scutify – The best app (Android and iPhone) and the best site for staying up with all your positions. @BigOption is on Scutify.com. Are you?
Let's touch on some important tech stuff this morning because it all ties together, doesn't it? Or at least networks together.
Where's the best place to put money to work in tech right now?
Facebook /quotes/zigman/9962609/delayed /quotes/nls/fb FB is continuing to struggle to get and stay above $50. I think it's got more upside next year, but into year-end, it's tough to call. I've sold all my FB call options and trimmed some of my FB common when it was above $50 the first time a while ago. FB has been one of my biggest positions since it fell below $20 and we loaded up on it, but I wouldn't blindly plow into it just now. You know I always preach using tranches to get into a new position (or to build an existing position up), and FB looks like a good first tranche buying opportunity below $50 and then wait for the next pitch.
Intel /quotes/zigman/20392/delayed /quotes/nls/intc INTC and Microsoft /quotes/zigman/20493/delayed /quotes/nls/msft MSFT have both recently been sustaining their recent rallies and the stocks are near multi-month highs. I trimmed down some of my Softee $MSFT calls earlier this week, as noted at the time, and will continue to do so if the stock gets closer to $40, which I do think is quite possible given how strongly the Xbox One is selling into the Christmas season. I got my Xbox One set up last night and it's pretty impressive. The latest Kinect system is very good at recognizing your moves and interacting with your voice commands. It's better than Windows, that's for sure.
Intel $INTC needs mobile traction and needs it sooner rather than later. If they don't win some major tablet and/or smartphone supply business in the next six months or so, their window into that market gets smaller. It's high time for Intel's huge investments in this area over the last handful of years to start paying off for shareholders. Or else it'll be time to move on.
And here's today's Trader's Deep Thought.
According to Wikipedia, there are 182 "circulating currencies" in the world today. That list includes such currencies as the Cape Verdean escudo, the Mongolian tögrög, and the Tongan paʻanga. But bitcoin is not yet anywhere on that list. The day that somebody adds bitcoin to this wikipedia list of circulating currencies will probably be a good day to sell some of your bitcoins. But in the meantime, it's probably very bullish for the early bitcoin-ers that bitcoin is still far from de facto.
And on that note, here's an article from FT called There's nothing new under the sun, including Bitcoin, which also underscores just how early we still are in the virtual currency concept.
As a payments system, it has more potential, but only if its extreme volatility is overcome.
This is unlikely, however, because it is not pegged to anything nor is it collateralised. In reality, therefore, it is nothing other than an uncollateralised alternative to Paypal, in which transaction fees flow to anonymous Bitcoin miners rather than a publicly accountable company.
Paypal, just like Bitcoin, issues its own units. But the reason Paypal units don't fluctuate wildly in value is because every unit is collateralised with the fiat money that's put into the system. What you put into Paypal, you can consequently get out (much like any money market fund).
Do you not think that PayPal and the concept of trading dollars over their network had to reach critical mass before it could go mainstream and work like it does today? Do you not think that anybody who bought into Paypal back in its infancy made huge money as it did eventually hit critical mass and go mainstream?
And finally, this whole article seems like something out of a bad Ayn Rand novel where the analysts' logic is completely upside down. The argument that Paypal units of currency don't fluctuate because they are collateralized with fiat currency is crazy. Fiat currencies fluctuate wildly. $BITCOIN will too.
Nothing new under the sun, indeed, including faulty analysis, huh?

ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — Last night in New York City, a handful of NBA franchises looking for a little luck gathered in Times Square to try and beat the odds. That's right, it's the annual NBA Draft lottery, where the best of the worst vie for the first pick in the NBA Draft. I showed up and brought my cell phone camera along with me to see what went down behind the scenes.
Let's get to the pictures …
I arrived in Times Square right around 6:30 p.m. and fought my way over to the ABC Studios, where they shoot "Good Day America" or "Today This Morning" or whatever they call it — one of those morning shows that airs when I'm still asleep. There's never really a good time to be in Times Square, because it is consistently crowded and busy and bustling, but 6:30 p.m. must be just about the worst time. Add in that it was humid and in the mid-80s today, and Times Square felt a bit like being stuck in a mosh pit. Or at the bottom of a mosh pit.
Then again, one of the fun things about living in New York City is you never know when you'll have a celebrity sighting or come across a movie or TV set where magic is being made. Here, just a block away from the ABC studios, you can only imagine how lucky I felt to happen upon the set of Transformers 6: Construction Sitez. In this shot you can see the star of the flick, Cat Dozer. It's more than meets the eye, my friends.
I eventually found my way to the Millennium Hotel, across the street from the ABC studios, which served as the headquarters during the Draft lottery. Because the television studio is relatively small, the media sets up in a hotel ballroom, and a dining area serves as the hospitality center for all the representatives of the various teams. In this photo, ESPN.com's Henry Abbott demonstrates the key to being able to last throughout the evening: Unfiltered caffeine. (Also, you can tell we're in a hotel because of the lovely carpeting.)
This guy looked really familiar, but he insisted on holding his hand in front of his face and speaking in a high, squeaky voice in an attempt to disguise himself. But I'd know that facial hair anywhere…
That's right, it's Kevin Love! Kevin was in NYC to represent the Timberwolves up on the podium during the Draft lottery show. I asked Kevin if he'd brought along any good luck charms. He launched into some convoluted story about how he had sent something via the U.S. Postal Service, because it was too big for him to carry, but he wasn't sure if it had arrived or not. I pressed him for details but he didn't want to go any further for fear of jinxing things. Understood.
It's not an NBA event without a press conference, and last night there was a short presser before the Draft Lottery with Commissioner David Stern and his Deputy Commissioner and successor, Adam Silver. It was a relatively brief session as these things go, but it was still entertaining, as Stern engaged in a brief debate after a reporter asked if Stern was concerned about three of the four remaining teams being "small market" teams.
COMMISSIONER STERN: Not the least. I asked Heather Cox, how do you define small?
REPORTER: Well, it's not Los Angeles, New York, or Chicago.
COMMISSIONER STERN: Is it the lower half of the league? Will that do it?
REPORTER: I think pocket TV markets.
COMMISSIONER STERN: Well, lower half? Good, thank you. We have four teams in the lower half of our TV households. It's not three of the four; it's four of four. Miami is 16. It just goes to show you that if you have good teams, people want to watch, and they're interesting teams. Miami wasn't the big market defined by the media as a big market until it attracted players and then it suddenly became a big market.
REPORTER: I meant an international market that goes beyond perhaps the size?
COMMISSIONER STERN: Really? You should go back and look at some of the numbers. Sorry, it doesn't hold. And the answer is we're delighted that the best teams are having a great run, and our TV partners are also happy.
Boom. After that we had about an hour to kill before the broadcast began, so everyone wandered over to the dining room to grab some grub. Players, owners, agents, executives and writers all wandered around. I briefly debated trying to sneak a photo of Commissioner Stern at the buffet, but decided getting ejected from the hospitality suite probably wasn't a good idea.
While there were NBA-related people everywhere you turned, I may have been the only person to recognize the guy in the photo above. Don't know him? Then you haven't been reading the All Ball blog!
That's right, Tate Moore himself was in the house, just off the plane from Cleveland, along with Cavs owner Dan Gilbert and a deep crew of Cavs supporters. As you can see, Tate's fingers were already crossed. At that moment, the Cleveland crew was mostly concerned with figuring out how to get their Cavs-logo bow ties tied correctly — they consulted YouTube, to no avail, but then found an NBA staffer at the hotel who was terrific at tying bow ties, so he went around the group making sure everyone was tied up perfectly.
Finally, it was time to go to the studio. Most of the seats in the studio were earmarked for team personnel, but when they realized they needed to fill three seats, two other writers and I were rushed out of the hotel, across 44th Street, into a side door of the ABC studio, and onto an elevator large enough to hold a couple dozen people. We went up one floor, down a winding hallway, and emerged into the well-lit studio.
Because we were still fifteen minutes from airtime, everyone was kind of hanging out and chatting, trying to alleviate nervousness in their own ways. Here Lehigh grad (and All Ball blogger) CJ McCollum and Cleveland-based rapper Machine Gun Kelly pose with a young fan.
Here, a couple of guys with vested interest in the Draft lottery, for various reasons. From left, Pistons center Andre Drummond, Blazers guard (and reigning Rookie of the Year) Damian Lillard, former Syracuse guard Michael Carter-Williams and Pelicans center Anthony Davis.
Finally we were directed to our assigned seats. I was given an empty seat about 18 inches from my main man Jay Bilas, just out of camera range. In the background on the right you can see former UNLV forward Anthony Bennett, who was interviewed live on air just after the broadcast started.
Then the representatives took their seats and … we waited. The truth is, the Draft lottery is a mostly reactive process: the lottery itself had taken place some time earlier, in a private room, and the order of the Draft was already decided and ready to be revealed inside a stack of sealed envelopes. So for the time being, everyone waited, not altogether patiently, for Silver to appear and let us know how it all shook out.
By now you know: The Cavs crew, led by owner Dan Gilbert's son, Nick, beat the odds and came away with the first pick, knocking the Orlando Magic down to second. I caught up with Nick shortly after the Draft, as he posed for photos with onlookers and was handed cellphones to chat with well-wishers, and I asked him about his evening.
ME: Nick, do you have a second or are you guys trying to get out of here?
NICK: I'm trying to stay up as late as I can tonight so I can sleep in tomorrow.
ME: Are you guys going back to Cleveland tonight?
NICK: I think so, yeah.
ME: Now would probably be a good time to talk to your Dad and see if you guys could hang around in New York for the night.
NICK: Oh yeah, talk to my Dad, try to go out to dinner or whatever.
ME: So tell me, what have you learned from your previous appearances here at the Draft Lottery?
NICK: Keep calm, make yourself presentable.
ME: Is that important, being presentable?
NICK: Of course.
ME: Did you bring a good luck charm with you?
NICK: Got my bow tie.
ME: Is that the same one?
NICK: Nah. Not the same one as the first year, no. And [for good luck], the crew that we came with.
ME: Do you still get nervous, after having been through this twice already?
NICK: A little bit, because I thought all my friends were going to give me a lot of grief if we didn't get that first pick because of the statement I made earlier. So I was relieved when we got the first pick.
ME: Tell me again, what was the statement you made?
NICK: It was that this is our last year here. Our top pick that we're going to get is going to help us make our final push into the Playoffs.
ME: Once you knew you were in the top three, and they went to a commercial break to let the drama build, was that when the nerves kicked in?
NICK: I felt pretty confident, because Washington had a very, very, very small chance of getting it. And like they said earlier, the team with the best odds hasn't really gotten the first pick a lot.
ME: I think the team with the best odds has only gotten the first pick four times in Draft Lottery history.
NICK: Yeah. And actually, my Dad looked this up, the third best odds have won it most. And we had the third best odds.
ME: Were you nervous during that time period? Were you excited?
NICK: A little bit of both.
ME: And then once you saw number two was Orlando, and you knew you were number one, did you want to yell like the rest of the guys in your crew did?
NICK: I don't even know… what was going through my mind, you know?
I can only imagine. Congrats, Nick.
Here's a photo of the full Cavs crew (taken by Getty Images, not me) that I posted here in order to point out the guy with the shaved head in the top left of the photo, partially obscured by the man in the maroon jacket: Yep, Iron Chef Michael Symon. Symon, who hails from Cleveland and now splits time between Cleveland and NYC, showed up to lend whatever support he could to the Cavs chances. I caught up with him immediately after Cleveland won the lottery…
ME: So how did you get involved in this whole thing? I know you're a Cleveland guy…
SYMON: I'm a Cleveland guy. Dan and everybody was coming to New York, and I'm here taping "The Chew," and they texted me: "You want to come to the Draft Lottery?" I'm like, Absolutely! Now I'm here, life is good.
ME: Are you a lifelong Cavs fan?
SYMON: Oh yeah, born and raised. Bingo Smith, baby!
ME: I was going to say, you must be before the Mark Price/Brad Daugherty era.
SYMON: Yes, before that, before that.
ME: So this crew they have now, with Kyrie Irving and Anderson Varejao and all the young guys, does it feel like this pick will push you guys into the next echelon?
SYMON: I think we're in a good place, I think we're in a really good place. So it'll be good.
ME: When you were waiting to see if you guys got the first pick or the second pick, was that more nerve-racking than waiting to see if you won on "Iron Chef?"
SYMON: It's a different nervous.
ME: It's not like, Oh man, did I use enough salt?
SYMON: (laughs) Right, it's a different nervous. Because I can't personally screw it up.
Really nice guy. And now I say unto you in the words of my Uncle, "Allez cuisine!"
I guess after you win the lottery, you don't need a credential.
And finally, the saddest image of the night. Sorry, Magic fans.

Angels 5, Giants 3: Do the Giants still have Pagan belief?
Manager Bruce Bochy talked about the Giants' plan this season to get some speed at the top of the order to set the table and create some runs.
But that speed doesn't help you if you're rolling weak infield grounders.
That's what we've seen from Angel Pagan this spring. It's getting late, and it's starting to be a concern.
Pagan broke an 0-for-26 skid with an eighth-inning double. His spring average currently sits at .179.
And it's not just the outs that he's making. It's the type of outs.
On Tuesday, he didn't hit the ball out of the infield in his first three at-bats — popping out to the pitcher, grounding to short and second base.
Then he finally breaks the slump by making an inside-out swing and shooting an inside pitch the opposite way for double inside the bag at third … and then gets picked off a second base.
And finally he struck out looking to end the game with the tying run on base.
Bochy appeared to be talking out of both sides of his mouth — or other parts of his body — when it comes to the Giants outfield and leadoff situations.
In one breath, Bochy said that the decision to keep Gregor Blanco on the 25-man roster has not been made, even most observers could not see that NOT happening.
Then with another breath, he's included Blanco as a leadoff option.
Most telling is when Bochy was given the opportunity to dispell any ideas that Pagan won't be in center field and leading off on April 6, the manager passed.
"I'm not going to announce the lineup now," Bochy said. "We've got some time here. There's eight or nine days. (Pagan) could get hot and somebody else could get cold. Now is not the time to write the lineup. We have a pretty good idea."
Pagan will spend the next couple of days working on his swing in minor-league games.
- It was a good news/bad news outing for Tim Lincecum. Lincecum struggled with his fastball command. The best example of this came when Lincecum faced Angels pitcher Brad Mills, who went to the plate with instructions not to swing. Even so, Lincecum had to go to full counts on both at-bats before striking Mills out — his only two strikeouts Tuesday. That's the bad news. The good news is that even with a lack of command, Lincecum still got through five innings giving up two runs on five hits and two walks.
- C Buster Posey went 0 for 2 with a walk. But more importantly, he caught seven innings on his first back-to-back start at catcher. For more on Buster's day, which was also his 25th birthday, click here.
- 1B Brandon Belt went 1 for 4 with some loud outs. He's hitting .370 this spring, yet it appears possible, even likely, that he will begin the season in Fresno. That may sound incredible to you (it does to us), but to find out more, click here.
It's Madison Bumgarner's turn to throw Wednesday, but he'll do that in minor league camp. Not wanting to show MadBum to the division rival Dodgers, the Giants will throw Yusmeiro Petit in the 1:05 p.m. game Wednesday.

The Hope College Alumni Association will honor former Holland Mayor Al McGeehan with a Meritorious Service Award on Saturday, Dec. 12, for his long-time leadership role in strengthening and celebrating the relationship between Hope and the Holland community.
Hope will present the award during an annual event that is itself a celebration of the Holland and Hope town-gown relationship: the men's basketball Holland Sentinel Community Tournament at the DeVos Fieldhouse. McGeehan will receive the award, which recognizes a person's contributions to Hope and its alumni through notable personal service and long-time involvement with the college, during halftime of the 3 p.m. Hope game.
During the event, Hope will also recognize the many years of service to the community by former Holland City Council member Craig Rich, who like McGeehan also retired from office in November.
McGeehan, who is a 1966 Hope graduate, recently concluded more than three decades of service in city government, including eight two-year terms as Holland's mayor, the longest mayoral tenure in the city's history. Prior to first being elected mayor in 1993, he had served four four-year terms on the Holland City Council beginning in 1977.
It was Hope that initially brought McGeehan to the community. He came to Holland from Metuchen, N.J., in the fall of 1962 as a Hope freshman and never left. He had learned of Hope through Reformed Church in America ties, from youth pastors who came to his church from nearby New Brunswick Theological Seminary.
After graduating from Hope, he went on to the Holland Public Schools, where he spent nearly 30 years teaching history at either the junior high school or the high school. He retired from teaching as chair of the social studies department in 1995.
Among other activities while serving as mayor, McGeehan was the City of Holland representative on the Policy Committee of the Macatawa Area Coordinating Council; chaired the City of Holland Sesquicentennial Commission, The Holland Celebration 2000 and Project Pride; and co-chaired the successful City of Holland All America City Award effort. He was also active in the efforts of Michigan's West Coast, the United Way and March of Dimes, and graduated from the regional Leadership West Michigan program.
McGeehan served on several committees of the Michigan Municipal League and the National League of Cities, and for three years he represented the Michigan Municipal League as the league's West Michigan regional coordinator. From 2006 to 2008, he served consecutive terms as president of the Michigan Association of Mayors.
He chaired the Hope Community Campaign during 2005-06. The college presented him with a Distinguished Service Award during halftime of the 32nd annual Hope-Holland Community Day celebration in September 1997.
He has received a variety of awards through the years in recognition of his teaching and service. Among other honors, he was named the Community Education Teacher of the Year in 1976 and 1987, and was named a Paul Harris Fellow by The Rotary Foundation in 1997. An Eagle Scout in his youth, he received the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award - the highest honor bestowed by the Boy Scouts of America - in March of this year.
McGeehan is well known in Michigan and beyond for his passion for studying and collecting artifacts from the time of the American Civil War. He has taught and lectured on the subject, and has also authored a book and several magazine articles related to the Civil War.
He and his wife, Marsha, celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary in August. They have three children and nine grandchildren. Their daughter Laurie is a 1989 Hope graduate, and McGeehan's brother George graduated from Hope in 1969.
Rich was appointed to the Holland City Council in 1982 and was subsequently elected in 1983 and re-elected every four years from 1985 through 2005. He was also Mayor ProTem from 1987 to 2007.
He grew up in Holland, where his family has lived since 1910. He is a 1972 graduate of HollandHigh School and holds a business degree from DavenportCollege. He and his father operated radio station WZND in Zeeland from 1971 through 1986, and he has since been with the "Grand Rapids Business Journal," where he is an advertising sales consultant and sales manager.
Rich is a founding member of Michigan Shipwreck Research Associates and a "master"-level SCUBA diver. He combines his love of local history and genealogy with scuba diving to research and document area shipwrecks, and he is the author of the forthcoming book "For Those in Peril: Shipwrecks of Ottawa County."
He and his wife, Vickie, have two grown daughters.
Holland and Hope were both founded by the Dutch immigrants who came to West Michigan in 1847 led by the Rev. Albertus C. Van Raalte. Hope ultimately grew out of the PioneerSchool that the community opened in 1851 as its first educational institution. The college enrolled its first freshman class - 10 students--in 1862 and was chartered by the State of Michigan in 1866, the year before Holland was incorporated as a city.
Hope today has 3,230 students from 42 states and 28 foreign countries. The college employs some 780 faculty and staff, and approximately 5,000 Hope alumni live in the Holland area. In addition to scheduling presentations and cultural events throughout the year that are open to the public, the college is estimated to have an economic impact on the region of more than $250 million annually. In October, Hope received the Holland Area of Commerce's second annual Corporate Leadership Award, recognizes companies and organizations that have made a significant impact in the community through a history of local investment and job creation.

The 5 Crops You Need To Grow
Potatoes, corn, beans, squash, and eggs. (Do you "grow" eggs?)
Food in Uncertain Times: How to Grow and Store the 5 Crops You Need to Survive,
So the first thing I would say is, garden if you can and if you enjoy it. Whether you garden right now or not, though, learn more about how to store and use the food that is grown locally.
[. . .] After incorporating potatoes into their repertoire, European populations thrived and expanded, erratic weather, Little Ice Age, or no.
... Grains and beans are the ultimate survival crops because they are so long-storing.
... We grow corn, the easiest of all grains to grow and process on a small scale. Corn is also, in areas where it grows well, by far the highest yielding of the grains. In addition, unlike the small grains, you can grow corn with nothing but a shovel or heavy hoe.

Smooth, lightfast, and permanent, with excellent pigment quality, color strength, and longevity, Blick Artists' Acrylics offer an exceptional combination of quality and value. Choose from our wide selection of colors.
Color Swatches created using heavy application/medium application/50% tint and were applied on acrylic primed canvas (7 oz) material.
organic, naphthol AS
Pigment PR170 is a bright deep red with bluish undertones. It has an average drying time. It has two crystaline forms that differ significantly in opacity. The more transparent form (F5RK) tends to be more bluish and is less lightfast.
The lightfastness and weatherfastness of Pigment PR170 varies, depending on the application and the crystaline form. The opaque form (F3RK) has very good lightfastness, and is more weather resistant. The transparent form (F5RK) has lightfastness that is considered acceptable in pure applications, but it fades more in tints. Neither form is considered suitable for exterior use.
Naphthol Reds are not considered toxic. They may cause eye, skin, or respiratory irritation. Contact with dry pigment should be avoided.
Naphthol pigments are actually dyes that are "laked" to form pigments. First developed by the German chemical company Hoechst A.G. before World War I, their use in artist paints began in the 1920s. Pigment Red PR170 is a Naphthol AS pigment, chemically related to the diarylide yellow pigments. The Naphthol AS pigments comprise a range of reds. They are used in plastics, textiles, and printing inks.
Naphthal, Naphthol Bordeaux, Naphthol Carbamide, Naphthol Carmine, Permanent Carmine, Naphthol Crimson, Permanent Red, Permanent Red F3RK (more opaque), Permanent Red F5RK (more transparent).
organic, quinacridone
Quinacridone Magenta is a semi-transparent and powerful bluish red with an impressive mixing range. It makes an excellent glazing color and is one of the bluest of the Quinacridone colors. The pigment's properties vary considerably, depending on how it is ground. Quinacridone pigments have relatively low tinting strength in general. For this reason, quinacridone colors are often expensive, because more pigment is required in the formulation.
Quinacridone Magenta offers very good lightfastness in most media, but some have argued that it is less lightfast in watercolor form. Although Quinacridone Magenta received only a passing grade of "fair" under ASTM test protocols, other test results have rated the pigment very good to excellent. Transparent reddish violet pigments in general have more problems with lightfastness than any other range of colors. PR122 is often used as the Magenta of CMYK (four color) process printing because it offers a better tradeoff between tinting strength and lightfastness than other pigments in its class.
Quinacridone Magenta has no acute hazards. Overexposure to quinacridone pigments may cause skin irritation. Quinicridone pigments contain a compound found to be a skin, eye, and respiratory irritant.
Quinacridone Magenta came from a red violet aniline dye that was first produced in 1858 by Natanson. It was called Magenta to commemorate a battle in Magenta, Italy. Over time, Magenta became the standard color name for a deep, violet red. Although quinacridone compounds became known in the late 19th century, methods of manufacturing so as to make them practical for use as commercial pigments did not begin until the 1950s. PR122 has become particularly popular in the formulation of Magenta for CMYK process printing.

A doctor from La Mirada who ran clinics in San Gabriel and East Los Angeles pleaded guilty Thursday to illegally prescribing painkillers and money laundering, officials announced.
Andrew Sun, 78, agreed to plead guilty in federal court in Los Angeles to one count of distribution of hydrocodone and one count of money laundering, U.S. Department of Justice spokesman Thom Mrozek said in a written statement. The powerful painkiller hydrocodone is better known by it's brand name, Vicodin.
He surrendered to authorities April 10 after being indicted on 24 charges related to drug distribution and money laundering.
Though he pleaded guilty only to money laundering and illegally prescribing hydrocodone, "(Sun) admits in his plea agreement that he also illegally prescribed and distributed other drugs, including those best known by the brand names Xanax and Soma," Mrozek said.
The improper prescriptions were issued to undercover investigators between 2011 and 2012, "outside the usual course of professional practice and without a legitimate medical purpose," he said.
The doctor further admitted accepting $554,070 in cash payments for the drugs, which he deposited into a personal bank account, "for the purpose of disguising the source and nature of the funds," according to Mrozek.
Under the plea arrangement, Sun agreed to forfeit $342,000 that was seized from his bank account in July of 2012, officials added. He also agreed to pay nearly $87,000 in restitution to the California Medical Board, which participated in the investigation along with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the IRS, the California Department of Health Services and the Monterey Park Police Department.
Sun's medical license was suspended in 2013, according to a California Department of Consumer Affairs database.

In the paper "Fibonacci Series Modulo m" by D.D. Wall (found here), there is a table in the Appendix listing values for the function $k(p)$. This function is defined as the period of the Fibonacci numbers mod p before any repeats occur. For instance, k(7) = 16 since
\begin{align} F(p) \mod 7 = \{0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 1, 6, 0, 6, 6, 5, 4, 2, 6, 1\} \end{align}
where $F(p)$ is the $p^{th}$ Fibonacci number. Hence, the values in the sequence above are cyclic after 16 terms. My question is again in regard to the table at the end that lists various values for the function $k(p)$.
The first few terms check out fine, however, for some values for instance 113 or 181, the values of $k(p)$ do not appear to be correct. To check the values, I wrote a quick script in Python that you're more than welcome to use.
phi = (1+5**0.5)/2
def F(n):
return int(round((phi_pos**n - (1-phi_pos)**n) / 5**0.5))
def FModM(n,m):
return F(n) % m
def k(p, nums):
run = 0
for i in range(1, len(nums)):
if nums[i] == 0 and nums[i+1] == 1 and nums[i+2] == 1 and nums[i+3] == 2:
run = i
print p,":",run
nums = []
max = 200
m = 101
for i in range(max):
Both values 113 and 181 for instance return 0 since even after generating 200 terms (what max is defined to be in the program) no cycle has shown itself.
I'm not sure if the values are actually incorrect in the table, or if my understanding is not 100% on the matter. Any feedback would be very much appreciated. Thanks again.

Asked by Neil, Michigan
I have had two heart bypass surgeries, with five bypasses each time, about 18 years ago and again eight years ago. I have lived a very normal life after the surgeries with several heart medications. Recently, my heart has developed an irregular beat. My cardiologist recommends a cardioversion to get it back to a normal beat. Would you recommend this?
Conditions Expert
Dr. Otis Brawley
Chief Medical Officer,
American Cancer Society
Dear Marjorie: I encourage you to have a good frank conversation with your cardiologist about cardioversion. It is also appropriate to get a second opinion from another cardiologist. Most insurances will pay for a second opinion.
Electrical pulses from the atrium or upper part of the heart migrate in a series of paths through the healthy heart, causing it to beat or contract in a regular pattern. There are diseases of the heart that manifest as abnormal or irregular heartbeats, which are also called arrhythmias. Often, damaged heart muscle causes arrhythmias. Sometimes it is a metabolic disorder such as thyroid or kidney disease. Sometimes the reason is unknown. Perhaps the most common arrhythmia is called atrial fibrillation. There are a number of others.
Cardioversion and defibrillation are the delivery of an electric current to the heart muscle to affect the current traveling in the heart and convert the abnormal rhythm back to normal. Cardioversion is a shock that is synchronized to a part of the heartbeat, and defibrillation is an electric shock delivered randomly during the heartbeat. Elective cardioversion is a safe procedure routinely done in the management of patients with irregular heartbeats. Although most patients are admitted to hospital for elective cardioversion, it is sometimes done as an outpatient.
Many of us are conditioned by television shows, with the dramatic defibrillation done after someone has a passed out from ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. Although these major, life-threatening arrhythmias do occur, people can have a number of heart rhythm problems and be very functional. We treat them because the arrhythmia can cause tiredness and exercise impairment, and there is a risk of forming blood clots in the heart. These blood clots can move to the brain and cause strokes.
The electrical shock or stimulation for cardioversion can often be a small amount of energy and not painful. The cardioversion can be done with paddles placed on the chest or back, but occasionally the cardiologist may choose to place the electrode in the heart through a blood vessel by piercing the skin of the arm or groin and following the vein up to the heart. Some patients may need a small amount of sedation for the procedure.
Patients may be given blood thinners before and after the procedure to decrease risk of blood clots, and the patient may also be given certain medicines to decrease the risk of the rhythm disturbance returning. Some people with recurring arrhythmias are treated with a small defibrillator implanted in the chest or abdomen. It can detect abnormal rhythms and convert them immediately.
Some common conventional medications and some alternative medications, especially herbal remedies, can cause arrhythmias; a careful open-minded review of all medications is a good idea and can sometimes make cardioversion unnecessary. A common cause of atrial fibrillation, for example, is caffeine, found in a number of soft drinks. I have vivid memories of a patient whose atrial fibrillation was due to his love of cream soda, which is high in caffeine. Three cans a day caused him trouble.

Good news: Houston got some buzz on Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
Bad news: our 15 seconds of fame was thanks to Houston Community College trustee Dave Wilson's maybe/maybe not racist antics.
For those of you not familiar with Wilson, let us get you up to speed: He's accused of tricking voters in a predominately black district into electing an old, white dude (Wilson himself) to represent them on the HCC Board of Trustees.
In his defense, Wilson says he didn't outright lie; he never said he was black. Instead, stock images of African-Americans taken from internet were plastered on his flyers. However, one mug failed to grace the flyer: Wilson's.
A black and white issue? Maybe. A grey one? Definitely.
In the segment "Racist or Not Racist?", a panel of three judges, Jessica Williams, Jason Jones and Aasif Mandvi, weighed in on Wilson's iffy campaign tactics.
The final verdict? The judges said Wilson's maneuvers were "smart, but racist," "creative," and "hilarious, but totally racist."
While the segment was funny, we can bet Wilson's opponent isn't laughing. 24-year incumbent Bruce Austin lost by a measly 26 votes. Not surprisingly, Austin is calling for a recount.
