Wind power has not kept pace with solar and has had bad luck with PR recently (remember the eagles?), but construction activity is ramping up, which bodes well for the months ahead, said SNL, a firm specializing in energy company research, on Thursday.
Wind installations limped through 2013, their lowest year since 2004, SNL said. Only 612 megawatts of wind capacity were added to the grid last year.
Compare that to solar: in the third quarter alone, the solar industry added 930 megawatts of new photovoltaic capacity, a 35% increase over the year-ago quarter.
The Solar Energy Industries Association, a trade group, expects 2013 to be a record year for solar, with more than 5,000 megawatts of new solar capacity in both utility-scale solar installations and residential installations.
Wind power hopes to play catch up — 5,727 megawatts of wind capacity is under construction, and wind has some history in its favor: Wind net generation was the majority of total renewable energy net generation growth in the U.S. between 2008 and 2012, SNL said.
And some wind players are hoping to take a page from solar and market their wares to homeowners. United Wind has started a lease program to bring smaller-scale wind turbines to homes and businesses, taking care of permits, financing, and installation.
United Wind's chief executive Russell Tencer said space is a constraint for "small wind," with your installation typically going in mostly rural communities where property owners have the space for the setup — usually a 100-foot tower, and a rotor with a diameter between 20 to 40 feet.
Utility-scale wind projects in 2013 included Pheasant Run Wind Farm in Michigan, with a second phase expected to come on line next month.
The largest under-construction U.S. wind project, which does not yet have a date to start producing power, is the 800-megawatt project Mescalero Ridge Wind in Chaves County, New Mexico, owned by Caithness Energy LLC. Berkshire Hathaway's /quotes/zigman/219651/delayed /quotes/nls/brk.a BRK.A /quotes/zigman/583979/delayed /quotes/nls/brk.b BRK.B Mid-American Energy Holdings project, 501-megawatts of Highland Wind in Iowa, is the second largest, expected to come on line in 2015.
How about those eagles (and other birds, bats, etc)? Wind might be bad news for them, but not for home prices, according to this The Wall Street Journal article.
In some cases, the announcement of a new wind farm may have contributed to a drop in some home prices, but after construction was completed, prices appeared unaffected, the newspaper said, citing a study by researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and the University of Connecticut released earlier this month.

Our grants strategy
Updated: 22 Mar 2019
Share |
The Housing (NI) Order of 2003 introduced a largely discretionary grants scheme for private sector housing in Northern Ireland. Our Private Sector Grants Strategy, introduced in December 2003, targets money to deal with unfit housing and disrepair, and uses the resources of the Grants Scheme to best effect.
The aims of the scheme are:
- to ensure the continual improvement of housing standards in the private sector, to help support urban and rural regeneration
- to help vulnerable people (including people with disabilities) living in the private sector to live safely in their homes
The strategy involves three types of targeting:
- Condition based - This targets grant aid at properties in the worst condition, in particular that are unfit to live in, and those that are in disrepair and which may become unfit to live in.
- Household characteristic - Grant aid is targeted at vulnerable, financially disadvantaged and disabled people.
- Geographic - Grant aid is used to support urban and rural regeneration strategies where improving private sector housing is a strategic objective.
Additional grant aid is available in:
- rural priority areas
- urban priority areas
- town centre living initiative areas

1. Find a poem by a local poet, famous or obscure, from the region
one of your ancestors lived in. It can be about an historical event, a
legend, a person, or even about some place (like a river)or a local
animal. It can even be a poem you or one of your ancestors have written!
Or if you prefer, post the lyrics of a song or a link to a video
of someone performing the song.
2. Post the poem or song to your blog (remembering to cite the source
where you found it.)
3.Tell us how the subject of the poem or song relates to your ancestor's
home or life.
I can immediately think of 2 possible posts. I grew up in Tenterfield so Peter Allan's, Tenterfield Saddler could be a good choice. However, last year I went to Northern Ireland and was very fortunate to be shown around the Castledawson, Bellaghy area by Eugene Kielt from Laurel Villa in Magherafelt.
Laurel Villa Guesthouse in Magherafelt is often the venue for Seamus Heaney to read his poetry. In fact each of the guestrooms at Laurel Villa is dedicated to a great Ulster poet - MacNeice, Kavanagh, Longley and Seamus Heaney.
I have chosen something (I had trouble stopping at one) from Heaney. A search of my four Heaney books doesn't give the poem I want, but a search on the internet has.
Riverbank, the long rigs
ending in broad docken
and a canopied pad
down to the ford.
The garden mould
busied easily, the shower
gathering in your heelmark
was the black O
in Broagh,
its low tattoo
among the windy boor trees
and rhubarb-blades
ended almost
suddenly, like that last
gh the strangers found
difficult to manage.
Copied from the blog Irish Matters.
I have Irish papers which state that my great, great, great grandfather James Agnew and his brother Henry came from Broagh. For many years I searched for Broagh as a townland. I could not understand why I couldn't find it. I knew it was near Castledawson, Derry but it was nowhere to be found. Last year I finally discovered that it is part of Tamniaran but that residents have always said they come from Broagh. At last I had discovered exactly where the Agnews came from. Broagh is obviously a significant place for Heaney and for me also. (The Heaneys and the Agnews lived quite close to each other in the 1800s.)
You need to listen to the poem to really appreciate it. Unfortunately I couldn't find an audio version anywhere and it doesn't appear to be YouTube. The pronunciation of the name Broagh is quite tricky but I hope to master it one day.
I also have to include a portion of Heaney's essay titled Mossbawn (the farm where he grew up). Heaney describes the land.
" The world grew. Mossbawn, the first place, widened. There was what we called the Sandy Loaning, a sanded pathway between old hedges leading in off the road, first among field and then through a small bog.....The sides of the lane were banks of earth topped with broom and ferns, quilted with moss and primroses. Behind the broom, in rich grass, cattle munched reassuringly. Rabbits occasionally broke cover and ran ahead of you in a flurry of dry sand. There were wrens and goldfinches. But, gradually, those lush and definite fields gave way to scraggy marshland. Birch trees stood up to their pale shins in swamps. The ferns thickened above you. Scuffles in old leaves made you nervous and you dared yourself always to pass the badger's set....
To this day, green wet corners, flooded wastes, soft rushy bottoms, any place with the invitation of watery ground and tundra vegetation.....possess an immediate and deeply peaceful attraction."
(Finders Keepers - Selected Prose 1971-2001 - Seamus Heaney)
Each time I read this, I can imagine the landscape and I'm sure this is what my great, great grandmother Matilda must have experienced and saw when she ventured out in the fields of Broagh.

supercritical plant oil extraction
supercritical plant oil extractionProduct Description
1, supercritical plant oil extraction brief introduction
2, supercritical plant oil extraction main equipment
1. Solvent pumps: continuously spray solvent to the rotary-typr extractor.
2. Solvent extractor: spray and soak the soybean cake with solvent so that oil fats can be dissolved
in solvent (form miscella). After processing, you can get wet meal and miscella (mixed oil).
3. DTDC: used to separate the solvent from the wet meal.
4. Miscella tank 1st: pump the miscella ( oil with solvent) into the miscella 1st, then add 10% saline
water to it. The phospholipid and impurities in the miscella will react with the saline water, at last
the reactant precipitate, reaching the goal of purifying.
5. Miscella tank 2nd: the purified miscella will be pumped into it.
6. Miscella stripping: it will remove the remaining solvent in miscella. And the solvent will be
discharged to condenser for recycling.
7. Condensers: used to cooling the solvent gas separated from the wet meal and miscella for recycling.
Solvent Extractor Advantages:
1) The material is divided into several independent units on the material bed, which can effectively
prevent miscella at all levels from fleeing hither and thither on the material layer and ensure the
concentration gradient between several sprays.
2) Immersion area appears in each lattice, which can help achieve better immersion effect.
3) The chain box is supported by track and can prolong the service life of screen deck by not
touching it.
4) The towline extractor is driven by world leading double-shaft hydraulic motor, with balance force,
reliable operation and less maintenance cost.
5) Specialty suitable for the extraction of high oil and high power materials, and better immersion
effect can be expected for ordinary oil plants.
Desolventizer toaster advantages:
a) Passivate and damage the anti-nutritional components such as the urea enzyme and trypsin
in the meal, and improve meal value in use.
b) Control the protein denaturation degree in the meal , and improve the NSI index effectively.
c) It can better regulate the color, flavor and taste of the meal.
d) It can better reduce residual solvent in the meal and regulate the meal moisture, so as to
guarantee the minimum solvent consumption and safe use of the meal.
Negative pressure evaporation process
The liquid from the extractor is the miscella containing grease and oil, which can be separated
out according their different vaporization temperatures. Our company mainly uses vacuum
evaporation technology, and it can reduce solvent leakage and consumption. The separated
solvent vapour is cooled and recycled back to the extractor for reuse, which can improve the
solvent efficiency.

Variation note: Due to overwhelming fan demand, Mattel changed the flocking on Moss Man partway through production. As a result two versions of Moss Man have been produced. This version has no flocking on ears.
Mother Nature has nothing on Moss Man®, powerful lord over all that is green! This fully-articulated figure features amazing detail and comes complete with nature mace, removable vine sling with stone knife, and, of course, flocking and an evergreen scent guaranteed to take you back! (Collector Note: it is not the identical scent as the vintage toy, but we came as close as possible within today's manufacturing standards.) Moss Man® also comes with an alternative 2002-inspired head designed by the Four Horsemen.

LN, 24 Jul 2007 @ 6:32pmPersonally I'm all for it. Although the sooner digital content firms start to calculate the energy needed to calculate the energy needed to run a banner ad, the better...
GoblinJuice, 24 Jul 2007 @ 6:40pmEh. It's a scam. The "Institute" offers "consulting" (read: pay us money).
Much like the carbon offset industry, it's a feel-good and PR scam. Hell, environmentalism itself is a scam.
Anonymous Coward, 24 Jul 2007 @ 7:03pm
hehSo then, using Adblock and Flashblock can save the Earth? But what about the carbon footprint for every Firefox plugin download?
I get this feeling that Green Living is going the way of Organic Food: it goes mainstream and then just becomes another way to cash in on consumer trends. Ugh.
Anonymous Coward, 24 Jul 2007 @ 7:14pmCarbon offsets are a scam. The total output of pollutants is merely switched from one company to another - no reduction. A nice trick by big business to continue doing what they want to, while appearing (to the shallow thinkers) to be virtuous.
Because there are scammers, doesn't mean that the cause itself is a scam.
You may think environmentalism is a scam until you are personally hurt by it. Then you'll wonder why nobody did anything - but it will be too late.
Unknowledgeable Geek, 25 Jul 2007 @ 6:54am
Re:But that total output is still the same number, whether Company A sells it excess allowance to Company B or not the net total is still the same and if Company B purchased Company A's excess but still excedes the limit, they pay fines. So, to say it is all a scam and use the example you just used, makes you look like the scammer.
EvilTreeHuggingConspiracy, 26 Jul 2007 @ 2:16pm
Re: Re: Carbon Offsets NOT a ScamI tried to post this the other day, but it did not go through for some reason. In the meantime, it looks like more people have just been parroting the same crap. Carbon offsets are not a scam because they work on a Cap & Trade system. Most people only talk about the Trading part, and say (incorrectly) that it makes no difference. They fail to consider the Cap portion of the system. Imagine it this way. I elect myself king of everything and say all industries must cut pollution 20% from last year. In other words, I am capping future emissions at 80% of last year's emissions. Half the businesses manage to actually cut 30%, but the other half contains big polluters like the steel and cement industry, so they are only able to cut 10%. This still gives an average reduction of 20%. However to make things fair for the companies that cut the most, we cannot just let the big polluters off the hook. Thus I decree that the compnaies which could not cut 20% must buy emissions credits for the balance from the companies who made extra cut. So, the carbon offset is just a way to use the principles of the market to enable everyone to particpate in cutting the pollution they produce. It does not try to squeeze blood out of a stone by mandating that a steel mill must cut just as much as flour mill, but it gives those who can cut a financial incentive to keep innovating as much as possible. This could create a whole new technology industry that actually devotes its brainpower to helping instead of harming the Environment. There is nothing remotely scam-like about it.
Overcast, 24 Jul 2007 @ 10:09pmMaybe if the "Institute for Sustainable Communications" shuts itself down, it will save enough energy to offset this.
It's unbelievable the BS you hear about all this Eco-Make-Me-Feel-Happy-Because-I-Am-Rich-and-Waste-Power Garbage.
I'm so sick of hearing about it, it makes me want to dump 15 gallons of oil right down the sewer.
And yes - Carbon offsets are a scam - either save energy or don't. Paying some corporation for extra energy is - frankly - quite idiotic.
Jack, 24 Jul 2007 @ 11:41pmI think the Carbon Offsets has simply become a PR thing. I want to see real things instead, like Amazon.com having to take back all of their shipping materials that they send out every, every day.
Laura Thomas/Pyrrha Dell, 25 Jul 2007 @ 12:26pmJust wanted to clarify that the virtual trees we give away in Second Life are intended to create awareness of our Real Life Plant a Tree for Me program.

Uh... Really: Sustainable Computing and CommunicatI am delighted to see that the InternetNews article by David Needle has stimulated discussion on your site.
It would suggest that TechDirt increase its coverage about GreenIT as well as its coverage about credible Carbon Offsets.
TechDirt might like to consider the degree to which the degree to which the IT sector's failure to address its energy footprint is threatening the repeal of Moore's Law and put the brakes on the growth it has enjoyed thus far.
See: http://uptimeinstitute.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=48&It emid=38
Also, it is unfortunate that some of the posters to this forum characterize ISC as a scam, and that fail to see the value in measuring and managing the resources required in order for you to have TechDirt and other communication resources at your disposal.
The Institute for Sustainable Communication (ISC) is a constructive entrepreneurial 501c3 nonprofit organization with a mission to raise awareness and build capacity for the sustainable use of digital and print communication media.
In addition to conducting education and outreach with inner city youth we assist organizations with the measurement and analysis required to manage and improve their sustainability performance.
In order to fulfill our mission, ISC like all other businesses need money and other resources. Rather than relying solely on volunteer effort and charitable donaltions, ISC also provides companies with fee-for-service consulting services that are aligned with our mission at below market rates in order generate income to support our outreach and educational programs.
ISC assists companies in using credible standards-based methods to calculate and reduce the carbon footprints associated with their computing and communication supply chains and their operational business communication practices.
ISC does not sell offsets.
We advocate the retirement of credible independently verified carbon offsets employing third party standards such as the Gold Standard as a first step in getting the various stakeholders involved in the supply chain to take action.
We do not believe it is possible to offset one's way to sustainability. For that reason we do not sell carbon offsets. Rather, we emphasize conservation, closed-loop local recycling, the use of renewable energy and materials as well as the adoption of "design for sustainability" methods.
In the case of complex digital or print media supply chains in which no one company has a dominant market share or control, we work to build solutions-oriented business coalitions that preserve and create jobs, restore the environment and seek to improve the quality of life enjoyed by current and future generations.
Whether you use digital media or print media, atoms and electrons are required. Our goal is to help people to use them more effectively, more efficiently and more sustainably so we can meet the needs of the economic, environmental and social needs of the current generation without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same.

Mourners gathered today for the funeral of the Rev. Andrew Greeley, the outspoken priest, novelist and sociologist who died last week at age 85.
A wake for the Rev. Greeley was held Tuesday at Christ the King Catholic Church, 9235 S. Hamilton Ave., and a funeral Mass was held at noon, also at Christ the King.
Greeley had been an assistant pastor at Christ the King early in his priesthood and has long been associated with the parish.
Greeley died May 29 at his home at the John Hancock Center, several years after fracturing his skull in a fall outside the Rosemont Blue Line "L" stop.
An autopsy by the Cook County medical examiner's office found that he died from heart disease, with a contributing factor being head injuries he suffered in the fall.

Lessig's One Way Forward
by Cory Doctorow at 6:41 am Tuesday, Feb 21
*** begin quote ***
Lawrence Lessig's new ebook One Way Forward is one of the most exciting documents I've read since I first found The Federalist Papers. One Way Forward is more of a long pamphlet than a book. It's tempting to call it a "manifesto," except that it's so darned reasonable, and that's not a word that comes readily to mind when one hears "manifesto."
At the core of Lessig's reasonable manifesto is the corrupting influence of money in politics, a corruption that predates the notorious Citizens United Supreme Court case. Lessig ascribes to this corruption the outrage that mobilizes both Occupy and the Tea Party, and he believes that the corruption can't be ended until both the left and right realize that though they don't have a common goal, they do share a common enemy, and unite to defeat it.
To this end, Lessig has a series of extremely practical suggestions, legislative proposals that, individually, strike at the root of the corruption, and, collectively, could kill it. Most of these don't require any kind of constitutional amendment. All are designed to be passed through the nonpartisan action of activists of all political stripes, working together on ideals that neither should find fundamentally objectionable.
*** end quote ***
Lessig is a known forward thinker.
Cory Doctorow is another thought leader.
So why can't us little people drain the swamp?

The Magarity site is 2.1 acres, halfway up Germantown Avenue in the middle of the commercial district of Chestnut Hill. What is done to develop this site will be critically important for the economic vitality and livability of our entire neighborhood.
I am one of a group of near neighbors. Over recent months two things have become clear. First, our concerns are shared by hundreds of other people who live in Chestnut Hill — a significant portion of all the residents here. Second, negotiations between the Chestnut Hill Community Association and the developer have not yielded meaningful progress on these concerns.
What are the concerns that we believe are not being addressed?
Height. Most buildings on Germantown Avenue are 2 and 3 stories high. We would like the one at 8200 Germantown Avenue to rise no more than 3 to 4 stories.
Density. The row of townhouses on Shawnee should have spaces between them. We would like to see three twins, or six dwellings, with enough space between the buildings to glimpse the park, and we would like them to be no higher than 35 feet, consistent with residences in the near neighborhood.
Setback. Hartwell Lane is a small one-way street with rowhouses and small twins on its residential side. Bowman's plan will place the back wall of the supermarket along Hartwell. We ask that there be a setback of eight feet— the normal setback in residential Chestnut Hill — to give a decent amount of space between these small houses and the back wall of the supermarket, which will rise 28 feet.
Buffer. We ask for vegetation and a retaining wall along the Southampton-facing side of the development.
We haven't had much time to walk the streets of Chestnut Hill with our petition. It's been only a few weeks of gathering signatures. Even so, as of Sunday, December 4, 576 people from the 19118 (Chestnut Hill) zip code had signed a petition against changing the zoning of the Magarity site by ordinance. In our relatively small community with, I am told, 2,000 residences, this is a number indicating widespread concern about the impacts of the present design.
We know that Richard Snowden has done some fine work restoring buildings in our community. We are confident that it would be best if he, rather than some other developer, created the mixed-use project at the Magarity site.
It is our hope that the community association, which will be reaching its final decision by Dec. 12, takes into account the modest changes that we would like to see, and also allows itself to consider the weight of opinion represented by our petitioners.

Click here for the brief statement President Bush has made on the election today in Iraq.
HINDROCKET adds: Ted Kennedy issued a statement today, too. The election was a disaster for Kennedy and his fellow defeatists, so Kennedy says that President Bush "must look beyond the election." Yes, the sooner everyone forgets the triumph that today's election repressents, the better! The complete text of Kennedy's statement doesn't seem to be available online, but this much is quoted in the linked article:
The best way to demonstrate to the Iraqi people that we have no long-term designs on their country is for the administration to withdraw some troops now and to begin to negotiate a phase-down of our long-term military presence.
Actually, most Iraqis are not as dim-witted as Kennedy, and they figured out long ago that we have no "long-term designs on their country." Most Iraqis want exactly what President Bush and most Americans want: for our troops to leave as soon as reasonably possibe, but not prematurely so as to compromise security.

There are many well-known depression triggers: Trauma, grief, financial troubles, and unemployment are just a few.
But if you are depressed and none of these apply to you, it can be hard to pinpoint a specific cause. In truth, there may not be a concrete reason for your depression.

Phillies doubleheader recap
Posted by | July 30, 2006 at 11:09 PM
Here are a few more notes that didn't make it into the print coverage of a busy Sunday at Citizens Bank Park:
* Outfielder Michael Bourn, 23, made his major league debut in the eighth inning of Game 2. He played left field and received one at-bat, flying out.
Bourn was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre when the Phillies traded Bobby Abreu to the Yankees on Sunday afternoon. Bourn played Sunday afternoon for the Red Barons, going 1-for-4.
* Ryan Howard hit his 35th home run in Game 2, giving him the National League lead.
* Chase Utley has 20 multi-hit games during his 31-game hitting streak. He had two hits in both games of Sunday's doubleheader.
* Randy Wolf threw 40 first-inning pitches in his return to the major leagues, a big reason he had to leave after 4 1/3 innings in Game 1. He threw a total of 97 pitches, 52 for strikes.
* Shortstop Jimmy Rollins returned to the lineup in Game 2 after missing three games with a strained left hamstring. He hit a one-out homer in the sixth inning to start a six-run outburst.
* Howard tied a Phillies record with five walks in Game 1. Von Hayes and Dick Allen also had five-walk games as Phillies. Howard's five-walk game also tied a major league record for walks in a nine-inning game.
That's it for now. Count on a lot more coverage Monday.

The beads in her traditional red, black and white headpiece rustled in response to her subtle bow. Although the degree took years of work, it took only a matter of seconds for her advisor, Professor Mark Warren, to loop her Doctoral hood around her neck and drape it down her back. On May 26, 2010, Malia Villegas became one of very few Alaska Natives (indigenous) with a Doctorate. Stanford educated Malia, co-editor of "Indigenous Knowledge and Education, Sites of Struggle, Strength, and Survivance" Malia, Fulbright scholar and newly minted Doctor of Education from Harvard University Malia is not one out of a thousand, not one out of a hundred or even fifty. In 2008, there were only 21 Alaska Natives who obtained a PhD from any school at anytime in the United States. It is safe to say that Malia is perhaps one of twenty-five or thirty.
Whānau means family in the language of the Māori, a Polynesian indigenous group found in New Zealand. Dr. Villegas became better acquainted with the group during her Fulbright studies in New Zealand but the relationship that exists between Māori and her own Alaska Native people predates even her. As she described it, when our glaciers melt their seas rise.
In 2004 Professor Graham Hingangaroa Smith, a noted Māori scholar, came to Alaska and spoke at the largest gathering of indigenous peoples in the US, the Alaska Federation of Natives. He shared the bold vision of a group from far across the pacific, the Māori, who wanted to mint 500 Māori PhDs in 5 years. Professor Smith's work and that of his wife Linda Tuhiwai Smith led to a similar program being set up in Canada with the goal of 250 First Nations PhDs by 2010 and discussions surrounding the creation of 100 PhDs in Alaska rapidly ensued after his talk. Despite residing in three separate nation states, all three of these groups -the Māori, Alaska Native and First Nations people – had similar goals in mind: to increase the number of indigenous students in the academe and increase the number of scholars and faculty. All of the groups had similar values or "relationality" as Dr. Villegas called it. In her dissertation, she found that the shared paradigm of indigenous groups or relationality is one of "pie expansion." If we help each other, the pie is endless, bigger than anything we can imagine. She said that resource accumulation holds lesser value to indigenous communities because of their limited history with it. What does matter, according to Dr. Villegas is building responsibility, stewardship, reciprocity and ultimately balance. What ultimately happened in the end is fascinating, despite similar goals and similar values each group took a different "how" approach based on the "who, what, when, where and why" of their distinct coalitions.
When it came to 500 Māori PhDs in 5 years Alaska Natives were inspired but knew the context in their community required more than collective will. According to Dr. Villegas, there is a need for intergenerational activism. Goal setting would not accomplish the result they wanted. They also knew that setting up joint goals with other peers based on assumed similarities, even if they did have similar values, would lead them to a different reality.
The relationship between American native peoples in Alaska and American Tribal Colleges and Kiwi Māori people and their Kiwi First Tribal University is quite different. Even on a more base level, as a group, Māori's are more homogenous sharing one language with multiple dialects. Alaska Natives have eight major culture and language groups with a variety of languages spoken within each. Only 54 people on earth speak Dr. Villegas's language, Alutiiq. In terms of organizing, Māori's have two television stations at their disposal they can reach their populace in a targeted fashion. The prospects are much more complicated for multi-lingual Alaska Natives. They do not have a television station at their disposal and if they did what language would they use? Organizing for Alaska Natives is more silo-like with information transfer occurring at greater numbers within community than between communities. Community goal setting has to include more people, with a greater variation of interests and perspectives. The micro-politics and incentives at play in the Alaska Native context require a different type of mobilization than their Māori counterparts.
So what lessons can we glean from coalition building between Alaska Native, Māori and First Nation peoples that can help coalition building in the diverse developing world context?
- When reaching across borders, national, tribal, et al, understanding the culture of your coalition partners cannot be underestimated. Even if you start with the same values, your coalition partner(s) may have a different context through which they view them.
- Sustained mobilization happens with knowledge of existing relationships, politics and pressure points within your organization and that of your counterparts.
- Collaborating with academic institutions and academics can help with the institutionalization and sustainability of your endeavor.
- Language differences can make organizing more complicated but not impossible. You may want to note what does and does not translate.
- Ownership and timelines derived from within the group may have greater staying power. The imposition of structure may not lead to a result or lasting coalition.
- Timeline flexibility may become more important with greater coalition diversity. Coalition members may take different approaches to the same result because of context even when starting with the same goal and values.
- Take your time and do your due diligence. The system will beat you if you do not understand the system.
Proud did not describe the look on the faces of Dr. Villegas' family when she straightened her back, meeting her Doctoral career as she ascended slowly from low bow. It was apparent that she cherished every millisecond. They all knew in that moment, as she did, that this was history in the making. She will continue to make history because of the indigenous coalition building work she does across oceans. Future endeavors for the multi-national coalition might be analysis based or action oriented. Dr. Villegas noted that indigenous treaty settlement processes going on around the world could be the next challenge for the coalition. Perhaps the more corporate, legal rights based Alaska Native approach, which led to the largest settlement with an indigenous group in US history, the 1971 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, might inspire the approach of Māori negotiators continuing Waitang claim's in NZ or future negotiations in Canada. With over 30 years of experience, Alaska might have suggestions or best practices for the Māori to consider in their own context, returning the inspiration offered by the "500 Māori PhDs in 5 years" program. Equal exchanges flow back and forth, like the Pacific that unites these indigenous peoples, despite their linguistic and cultural differences, they are Whānau.

Philadelphia Athletics Ralph Perkins PSA 5
The York Caramel cards offered in this auction and the following auction #69 are from a Master set that is being broken up. They come to us from the original owner's family. The original collector of the cards was a seven year-old boy living in Palo Alto, CA in the San Francisco Bay Area. He purchased the cards from his local candy store in 1927. The cards have stayed in the same, one-owner family ever since. The consignor reports that the cards were graded by PSA at different intervals over the past decade, with two or three cards acquired as upgrades during that period as well.
Other than Ruth, it's all here, including several variations and printing errors that comprised the #1 Master Set on the PSA registry. For example, card #56 Roger Peckingpaugh, has an extremely rare variation with the card number printed upside down on the bottom of the front of the card. Other variations include card #35, Clifton Heathcote, which was originally misspelled "Heathcot", then later issued with the correct spelling of the last name.

'Are Vasectomies Dangerous?' — Ask Dr. Harry Fisch
Kiki wants her boyfriend to get a vasectomy. They've had a few kids together and she doesn't want to have anymore. Her boyfriend is worried that a vasectomy will make him "less of a man." Kiki has also read a few vasectomy horror stories on the internet and is worried about the procedure. How can she convince her boyfriend, and herself, that he should get a vasectomy?
Dr. Fisch's Advice:
A vasectomy is actually a very simple procedure that often takes less than 30 minutes and doesn't require an overnight hospital stay or much post-surgery down time. A tubal ligation, also called having the "tubes tied," is surgery on the fallopian tubes and is a more dangerous procedure.
There have been several advances in the area of vasectomies over the last few years. There is now a no-needle, no-scalpel vasectomy procedure with very little discomfort associated with it. There's a 3% failure rate with tubal ligation (tubectomy) and only 1% with the no-scalpel vasectomy.
Many guys are just scared to undergo surgery in their genital region so you can't force your boyfriend to undergo a surgery that he doesn't want. There are sometimes side effects associated with the procedure including chronic pain, but, pain can often be a mind-over-matter issue. Someone like that may experience more post-surgery pain because there's an emotional component involved.
Dr. Harry Fisch is a board certified urologist at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Medical College of Cornell University.

He or she has feet of clay.
What does it Mean to Have "Feet of Clay"?
Student or Learner
I need an idiom to describe the person or the following situation.
When you compliment someone on being very good at doing things, you think everything is ok with him / her. You are so sure that you never think he / she will fail. But after a lot of praise and compliment, he / she fails.
Is there an idiom about this?
He or she has feet of clay.
What does it Mean to Have "Feet of Clay"?
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
Thank you very much. A nice idiom.
But please if there is something else that is close to this context, let me know.
You could consider 'He flatters to deceive'.
There must be others; I'll keep thinking.
I've read 'Homer nodded' [Homer being famously wise/omniscient and 'nodding' meaning he drifted off/went to sleep], but I've never used it or heard it used.
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.

New Highs in Sight
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
The party is far from over. The early-year rally that on Friday took the Dow Jones Industrial Average to within 1% of its record high, set in 2007, could have a lot further to run. For starters, stocks aren't expensive. The Standard & Poor's 500 index is valued at about 14 times estimated 2013 profits and the Dow fetches less than 13 times projected 2013 earnings. At the market peak in 2007, the Dow traded for 16 times forward earnings. Given ultralow interest rates, the market multiple has room to expand even if earnings growth remains modest.
There's a huge amount of money that could shift into stocks because individuals until recently have favored bonds over equities, based on mutual-fund flow data. "If there is a great rotation going on from bonds to stocks, we may be only in the top of the first inning," says Jason Trennert, chief investment strategist at Strategas Research Partners in New York. Trennert cites the TINA -- or "there is no alternative" -- factor, as yield-starved investors move into stocks.
Further impetus to stocks could come from endowments and pension funds that for the past decade have been shifting assets away from stocks and into alternatives, including hedge funds, private equity, real estate, and commodity-oriented investments.
That trend could reverse, because it will be tough for hedge funds and other alternatives to keep pace with a steadily rising stock market. Last year, the S&P 500 returned more than 16%, 10 percentage points better than the average hedge fund tracked by Hedge Fund Research. If big endowments and pension funds see relative returns suffer, there will be pressure for them to boost their allocation to stocks.
"Assuming we breach the old high on the S&P 500, the national conversation and media coverage could shift from a constant discussion of a 'lost decade' for stocks, to 'Are you being too conservative and missing out on the new bull market?' " says Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management in Minneapolis. A new record for the S&P, he adds, "could start to challenge the portfolio-allocation decisions" among institutional investors.
BARRON'S HAS BEEN BULLISH ON STOCKS, including a cover story a year ago ("Enter the Bull," Feb. 13, 2012) in which we wrote that the Dow could hit 15,000 by the end of this year -- a target that looks increasingly achievable. Barron's was similarly upbeat in a cover story in the fall ("Almost There," Oct. 15, 2012).
The Dow industrials finished the week at 14,009, up 6.9% so far this year. The index is 156 points away from its high of 14,165, set in October 2007. The S&P 500 index has risen 6.1% this year, to 1513, and stands 3% from its 2007 peak of 1565.
Smaller-stock indexes moved deeper into record territory last week, hitting new highs, having already bested their 2007 peaks back in 2011. The S&P MidCap 400 index is up 8% this year, while the Russell 2000 Index has gained 7.3% so far in 2013. As the table shows, mid- and small-cap stocks have outperformed their larger brethren by a wide margin during the past decade.
Federated Investors Chief Investment Officer Stephen Auth had the most bullish 2013 prediction among the 10 strategists in our outlook article for this year, with an S&P 500 target of 1660 ("An Optimistic Outlook for 2013," Dec. 17, 2012). His target -- 10% above current levels -- doesn't look so outlandish now. "You don't need a lot of earnings growth to get there, just a willingness of investors to put a multiple on equities that's remotely reasonable," he says.
Auth argues that as the risk of another financial crisis recedes, investors will put a higher price/earnings ratio on stocks. He recently cited 10 bullish factors, including easy monetary policy around the world, a housing recovery, a U.S. manufacturing revival, a domestic energy boom, and a stronger growth outlook in Brazil and China.
BEARS CITE A HOST OF FACTORS, including minimal progress in addressing structural problems in the federal budget, economic drag from tax increases at the start of 2013, near recessionary conditions in Europe, and a weakening earnings outlook.
Current-year profit estimates for the S&P 500 have been coming down, and profit growth last year in the index probably was only 5%. This year, S&P earnings are expected to rise about 6%, to $108, based on strategist estimates. The profit expectation based on "bottom-up" analyst estimates for individual companies is a more robust $112.
Paulsen argues that the stocks and profits often don't move together, noting that earnings have doubled since 2000 but the S&P 500 is unchanged. During some periods, stocks outpace profit growth, and this could be one of those periods.
Trennert, too, cites a host of market-valuation measures that support higher multiples for the S&P 500, including a proprietary model based on interest rates and inflation, the so-called Rule of 20, and the Fed Model. The Rule of 20 suggests a market P/E of 18, based on 20 less the current inflation rate, while the Fed Model, popular in the 1990s, points toward a very high P/E of 50, based on the idea that the market-earnings yield (the inverse of the P/E) should be in line with the 10-year Treasury yield, now 2%.
As the nearby table shows, the current bull market, dating back to March 2009, is one of the strongest in the past 50 years. The S&P is up 124% from its low of 676. The bull run is well shy of the extended upturn in the 1990s, which resulted in a quadrupling of the S&P 500.
IT HAS BEEN DURING THE PAST "lost decade" for stocks that the best-performing institutional investors have focused on alternative investments like hedge funds, private equity, real estate, and commodities.
Influential big investors are light on stocks, notably the Harvard, Yale, and Princeton endowments and the Ford and General Motors pension funds. Yale represents an extreme example, with just 6% of its portfolio in U.S. stocks and a 14% equity exposure over all, including foreign shares. Following Yale and Harvard, big university endowments with $1 billion or more of assets had just 27% of their assets in stocks last year, down from 45% a decade ago, while holding 61% in alternatives, according to the National Association of College and University Business Officers. That's a far cry from the old 60/40 mix of stocks and bonds favored by big institutional holders.
Yale endowment director David Swensen is one of the most successful and influential institutional investors in the country -- thanks to alternatives, which now account for more than 70% of the $19 billion endowment.
However, the alternatives-heavy investment mix of the past 10 years may not be such a great idea in the current decade if stocks continue to do well. The alternatives space is crowded, as private-equity firms sit on hundreds of billions of dollars of "dry powder," or client investment commitments, while the ultracompetitive hedge-fund industry is having a harder time generating excess returns, or "alpha," as thousands of funds scour the stock market. The high fees on both private equity and hedge funds act as another drag.
A hedge fund charging a 1.5% base fee while taking 20% of investment profits might have a net exposure to stocks of just 50%, reflecting a mixture of long and short positions. Only the best managers can overcome that impediment to beat stocks in a rising market. Warren Buffett made a bet with a fund manager a few years ago that the S&P 500 would beat a group of hedge funds, and so far he's proving correct.
Top stock pickers should find ways to beat the market. Just look at the huge disparity in returns of the 30 stocks in the Dow industrials since 2007. Home Depot (ticker: HD) is up 98%, while Alcoa (AA) and Bank of America (BAC) are down more than 75%.
It's telling that in recent years there have been few start-ups of traditional long-only equity-investment managers and not many new mutual funds outside of the biggest shops. Why start a traditional fund when operating a hedge fund can be so much more lucrative?
BONDS, WHICH HAVE OFFERED a good alternative to stocks in recent years, aren't keeping pace in 2013, as investors fear stronger economic growth, potentially higher inflation, and a curtailment of the Federal Reserve's massive bond-buying program. If weak bond returns continue, it may spur individual investors to shift more money to stocks.
The problem with bonds is that it's mathematically tough for them to produce good returns starting at current rates. And the setback in the Treasury market this year shows the impact of a relatively small rate increase. Long-term Treasuries are down 2% to 3% so far this year, erasing a year's worth of income, while broader bond indexes that include high-grade corporates are about flat.
Even famed managers are finding it difficult to maneuver now. The giant Pimco Total Return fund (PTTAX), headed by Barron's Roundtable member Bill Gross, managed to generate a 10% return last year despite super-low rates, but it's finding fewer ways to score this year and was down slightly in January.
Junk bonds, which kept pace with the S&P 500's 16% gain last year, are up just 1% this year, and sizable returns are unlikely, with the average junk issue yielding only 5.8%. The earnings yield on the S&P 500 is above the junk yield, marking a rare such occurrence. That suggests that stocks look appealing relative to junk.
Within the stock market, large-cap stocks may offer the best value. As the table shows, the P/E ratios on the S&P 400 MidCap and Russell 2000 indexes exceed those of the Dow industrials, with the MidCap index trading for 16 times projected 2013 earnings and the Russell 2000 carrying a 2013 P/E of 18.
The offset is that mid- and small-cap companies are expected to show stronger profit growth than larger ones. And betting against the MidCap index in particular has been a losing strategy, because it has consistently beaten the S&P 500, and it's now 20% above its 2007 peak. The MidCap index seems to catch companies when they are on fast-growth trajectories -- before they graduate to the S&P 500. The S&P MidCap index has no dominant member; its largest company is the little-known Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN), at only a 1.1% weighting. ExxonMobil (XOM) and Apple (AAPL), the two leading stocks in the S&P 500, each weigh in at about 3% of the index. Other big stocks in the MidCap index are Equinix (EQIX), HollyFrontier (HFC), and Kansas City Southern (KSU).
WHAT LOOKS BEST among big-cap stocks? During 2012, energy was a big industry laggard in the S&P 500. The two Super-Majors, ExxonMobil and Chevron (CVX), offer exposure to higher oil and gas prices plus secure dividend yields, with Exxon yielding 2.5% and Chevron, 3%. Exxon trades at about $90, or 11 times projected 2013 profits, while Chevron, at $116, fetches 10 times estimated 2013 net.
Activist investor Paul Singer's move to shake up Hess (HES) is a sign of investor frustration with exploration-and-production companies, whose stocks have badly trailed the market in recent years. There's frustration with high exploration spending and little-or-no cash returns to shareholders. Other depressed E&P companies include Apache (APA) and Devon Energy (DVN).
The financial sector has rallied in recent months, but valuations aren't excessive, with many major companies trading for 10 times projected 2011 earnings or less, including JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Citigroup (C), MetLife (MET), and Wells Fargo (WFC). Dividends typically aren't generous at about 2%, but they probably will rise as the Federal Reserve loosens restrictions on capital returns to holders.
Smaller Is Beautiful
The S&P MidCap 400 index and Russell 2000 Index have bested the Dow industrials and S&P 500 index by a wide margin in the past decade. Larger stocks look appealing now, given lower price/earnings ratios.

The technology sector trades at a market multiple based on 2013 profits, and the industry has a better-than-average earnings outlook. Some of the cheapest tech issues are some of the biggest, including Microsoft (MSFT), Cisco Systems (CSCO), Intel (INTC), and Apple. All four trade for about 10 times projected current-year profits, yield 2% or more, and have strong balance sheets. Their effective P/Es are lower after stripping away cash. Apple's cash and marketable securities of $145 a share are equal to almost a third of its share price of $455. Microsoft has $6 a share in net cash, or 23% of its $27 stock price, and Cisco has about $5 in net cash, or almost 25% of its share price at $20. Pressure is likely to build on these companies to return more cash to holders through dividends.
Even after the long run-up in stocks since the 2009 low, the S&P 500 is still below its 2000 high. With both individual and institutional investors light in stocks, there's plenty of money to fuel further gains at a time when P/E multiples look appealing. Alternative investments starred in this century's first decade. The current decade may belong to stocks.
