Bass Pro development in Bridgeport delayed six months
Utility relocation and road construction issues have led to a six-month delay
BRIDGEPORT -- Keep those $100 Bass Pro Shops gift cards in a safe place for at least another year-and-a-half.
The booty was distributed at July's celebratory fish fry announcing the outdoor retailer's move to the city's Steel Point project in time for Christmas 2013.
But Steel Point developer Robert Christoph last week said the necessary utility and road upgrades are taking longer than anticipated, pushing Bass Pro's grand opening back an estimated six months.
"We're looking at Bass Pro opening sometime in mid-2014," said Christoph, who is based in Miami. "The start for the roads has been further pushed back ... probably to January."
The city has been struggling for 30 years with partners in the private sector to transform the Steel Point peninsula into a waterfront mecca for businesses, residents and tourists.
Over the summer, Christoph, Mayor Bill Finch and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced Bass Pro, a retailing giant headquartered in Missouri, had signed up as the first tenant in exchange for to-be-determined subsidies.
The city sought bids for road construction in the spring, with a goal of beginning the work by August and, weather-permitting, wrapping up by spring.
Christoph blamed the current delay on ongoing negotiations with The United Illuminating Co. over relocating and burying electrical equipment.
"It's like the chicken and the egg," Christoph said. "All the major utilities have to be in place to form the `backbone' ... before the roads go over the top."
UI's Michael West said the developer and city, for aesthetic reasons, want the utilities installed underground.
"(That is) certainly something a lot of folks do. But the question here is about the costs associated with undergrounding," West said.
He declined to provide a specific figure, but said the work can cost 90 percent more than above-ground installation, which equals hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"What we cannot do is have the costs associated with that project now be paid for by all UI customers versus the beneficiary," West said. "There have been multiple conversations -- months of conversations, actually -- about this project and how to get it done."
West said the sides are closer to a resolution that may involve the state's Public Utilities Regulatory Authority.
"They are the ultimate decision-makers," West said.
Finch spokesman Elaine Ficarra said the administration hopes the issue can be resolved for the infrastructure work to begin in January.
Christoph said Bass Pro has 400 days to complete construction after the utility and road improvements are complete.
Company spokesman Larry Whiteley was unaware of any changes in the original timeline for a 2013 opening. But he acknowledged it takes time to complete a new Bass Pro location.
"Because the stores are so big and uniquely designed to the area of the country, they do take a while to build, unlike non-descript concrete block buildings," Whiteley said.
Christoph said he is still pleased with the momentum at the Steel Point site. The city and developer, for example, recently settled a two-year dispute with one of the last original property owners -- the Pequonnock Yacht Club -- over the condition in which the club left its California Street property when it moved to New Haven.
And Christoph said he and his staff continue traveling the country, meeting other potential tenants.
"Starting Sunday is the International Council of Shopping Centers conference in New York for the Northeast. That's a big one," Christoph said. "I know our leasing team has almost 20 to 25 different appointments set up ... all of whom now know at least Bass Pro is going to be there."
At the state level, closed-door talks over the details of the financial incentives offered Bass Pro are on schedule, according to the Department of Economic and Community Development. The agency offered no details.
Typically, state economic deals are announced after the numbers have been crunched and any loans and tax breaks are outlined for the public and lawmakers. That was not the case with Bass Pro.
Ronald Angelo Jr., a DECD deputy commissioner, in September said he had no concerns the deal might fall apart.
"We are engaged with them, talking on a regular basis," Angelo said. "They've come out publicly with this and have a team on the ground spending time and resources on this project. I think they've got quite a bit at stake and making sure this project is complete on their end."
Angelo added at the time, "DECD will continue to do a great deal of due diligence and make sure we have a financial agreement in place that is good for taxpayers of the state and very conscious of return on investment."

This study will determine how well four different antiretroviral drug therapies work in patients with advanced HIV disease. The trial is part of the South Africa-U.S. Project Phidisa Programme - a collaboration between the South African Military Health Service (SAMHS) of the South African National Defense Force (SANDF), the U.S. Department of Defense, and the U.S. National Institutes of Health - to help prevent HIV transmission among South African military and civilian employees and their families.
Members of the SANDF with HIV infection may be eligible for this study. HIV-infected family members who are 14 years of age and older may also participate. All participants must have a CD4 count of less than 200 or an AIDS-defining illness.
Participants are randomly assigned to one of the following four antiretroviral drug regimens, which require taking 5 pills or more every day:
- AZT (zidovudine) + ddl (didanosine) + EFV (efavirenz)
- AZT (zidovudine) + ddl (didanosine) + r/LPV (lopinavir/ritonavir)
- D4T (stavudine) + 3TC (lamivudine) + EFV (efavirenz)
- D4T (stavudine) + 3TC (lamivudine) + r/LPV (lopinavir/ritonavir)
Patients are followed for up to 6 years. Clinic visits are scheduled once a month for the first 3 months and then once every 3 months for the next five years. Patients undergo a medical history, physical examination, and blood tests at each visit, and complete questionnaires of behavior, quality of life, and force readiness every year.
|Condition or disease
|Drug: Zidovudine Drug: Stavudine Drug: Didanosine Drug: Lamivudine Drug: Efavirenz Drug: Lopinavir/Ritonavir
|Phase 4
This is a randomized, open label 2x2 factorial study of four regimens of initial therapy.
I. AZT + ddl + EFV
II. AZT + ddl + r/LPV
IV. D4T + 3TC + r/LPV
Eligible patients will commence their randomly allocated study drugs as soon as possible after randomization. Episodes of treatment limiting toxicity will be managed in keeping with protocol specified guidelines.
Patients who experience treatment failures (as specified in the protocol) will be managed by changing their regimen to that corresponding to one of the other treatment groups.

Remember Tetris DS? I remember picking that up the first day it was out and spending hours at a time going through everything that Nintendo had put together for it. The little Mario-esque touches were phenomenal and the gameplay itself wasn't changed a bit, even though the modes themselves offered plenty of diversity. Well, good news and bad news. The good news is Nintendo managed to get the Tetris license back, and has put it to good use with the recently released Tetris Axis. The bad news? It's not entirely Tetris DS 2.
When we first popped this game in, maybe we were expecting a bit too much, like a Mario welcome, or at least one of the modes that made the previous Tetris game worth playing. Instead, we got some all new modes, including a couple that try to take advantage of the 3DS' visual depth. It's not a losing package by any means, but it feels second-rate in certain areas.
Let's talk about the modes. There's Jigsaw, an interesting mode where you rotate puzzle pieces and try to stack them so you can match an already completed image that sits on the bottom screen. It's not bad, but those of you who don't care for puzzles will probably skip this one. Stage Racer Plus is a more interesting mode, where you guide a Tetris piece (or Tetrimino, as it's "officially" named) through a vertical maze, inching your way through sections and trying to stay afloat. It's a bit unnecessary, but something worth trying just to see if it sticks with you.
Continuing on, we have Fit, which is probably one of the better 3D modes in the game, where you try to use an existing set of Tetris pieces to fill in gaps to complete lines, from a viewpoint that really makes good use of 3D depth. It can be a little distracting at first, but stick with it and you might get into it. Topping off the modes are a pretty good Fever mode, where you work with a smaller playfield and try to score as many points as possible, and Bombliss Plus, complete with bomb blocks that can obliterate nearby pieces.
None of these modes are memorable enough to stay with you in the long-term, but if you're a Tetris fan, they might be of interest. What won't be of interest, though, are the power-ups. Rather than trying to slow your opponent down or give you an advantage in battle, they end the fight way too quickly. We'd rather have something that stuns someone we're playing against, rather than taking them out completely, thanks.
Speaking of that, the game does offer multiplayer, either online through the Wi-Fi Connection (with friends or in random matches) or locally through Game Sharing. The local option is best, as there's not much action happening in the lobby – not as of yet, anyway. Maybe after the holidays? But anyway, outside of painful power-up usage, the competitive side isn't half bad. Find some friends and get to Tetris linking.
The presentation may be lacking that certain personality that made Tetris DS shine, but it's still not bad. The visuals are bright and colorful, complete with an array of backgrounds and some particularly recognizable characters from the Hudson universe (they developed it), including Bomberman. We could've done without the goofy Mii dancer on the bottom screen, though. And the music? Nothing short of excellent. The familiar Tetris themes are back, but remixed with a desirable amount of flourish.
If you really must own one Tetris game for your 3DS, make it Tetris DS, even if it is a little tough to track down. However, if you don't really care about the extras and just want to get into a match of Pajitnov's classic game, Tetris Axis is an acceptable substitution. Marathon Mode remains the best way to go, though local multiplayer is also recommended, just for the sake of trumping your friends in Tetrimino domination.

"We're studying brain structure and trying to understand how the architecture of the brain supports our behavior, our thoughts, our memories, our way of thinking," says Annese.
Annese heads the Brain Observatory at the University of California, San Diego. It's where he and his team look for connections by mapping brain structure and connecting it to human behavior. Support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) helped Annese launch the Digital Brain Library back in 2008 when he acquired the brain of a man who couldn't remember anything for more than 20 seconds. Since then he has acquired about 35 donated brains and has been examining their physical characteristics. The process starts with slicing the brain into tiny slivers.
"The brain is sliced into thin sections, serially, going from one tip at the front to the back. And this is an operation that lasts a few days because you go very slowly," says Annese. A normal-sized brain produces about 3,000 slivers and each slice is no thicker than a human hair. Each sliver is placed on glass, is stained, and is digitized. Eventually, all the slices are digitally re-assembled, creating a virtual 3-D image of the brain.
"If somebody has a pattern of behavior during their life, is that pattern of behavior reflected in the structure of their brain? Can we see it?" asks Annese.
To help answer those questions, Annese seeks out people who knew the donors and what they were like while alive. "It is fascinating to try and connect a life with the actual brain," he says.
But locating those who knew donors can be a challenge. So Annese is looking for donors to commit to the program while they're alive. Ninety-two-year-old Bette Ferguson signed up, and she has no regrets about willing her brain to the observatory when she dies. "I'm proud of it," says Ferguson. "I mean look, I'm not going to need that brain anymore. Once I graduate, goodbye! If he can take that brain and learn something from it, I think that's important because he's studied me."
In addition to assessing her cognitive abilities, Annese will ask Ferguson about her unique life experiences like her role in the movie "The Wizard of Oz." "I was the flying monkey that came down and picked up Toto and took him to the witch's castle," notes Ferguson.
Annese is curious as to whether or not there are similarities between the brain of Ferguson and other individuals: those who have aged successfully and women or men with similar talents. He believes understanding the link between one's brain and behavior could very well lead to insights into treating brain injuries or diseases.
Now there's something to think about.

The Eagles began recording their third album in England with producer Glyn Johns, as they had their first two albums, but abandoned the sessions after completing two acceptable tracks. Johns, it is said, tended to emphasize the group's country elements and its harmonies, while the band, in particular Glenn Frey and Don Henley, wanted to take more of a hard rock direction. They reconvened with a new producer, Bill Szymczyk, who had produced artists like B.B. King and, more significantly, Joe Walsh. But the resulting album is not an outright rock effort by any means. Certainly, Frey and Henley got what they wanted with "Already Gone," the lead-off track, which introduces new bandmember Don Felder as one part of the twin guitar solo that recalls the Allman Brothers Band; "James Dean," a rock & roll song on the order of "Your Mama Don't Dance," and "Good Day in Hell," which is strongly reminiscent of Joe Walsh songs like "Rocky Mountain Way." But the album also features the usual mixture of styles typical of an Eagles album. For example, "Midnight Flyer," sung by Randy Meisner, is modern bluegrass; "My Man" is Bernie Leadon's country-rock tribute to the recently deceased Gram Parsons; and "Ol' 55" is one of the group's well-done covers of a tune by a singer/songwriter labelmate, in this case Tom Waits. The title track, meanwhile, points the band in a new R&B direction that was later pursued more fully. Like most successful groups, the Eagles combined many different elements, and their third album, which looked back to their earlier work and anticipated their later work, was a transitional effort that combined even more styles than most of their records did. [On the Border was released on OGV LP in 2014.]

Easy Root and More for the LG Optimus 3D
As devices are released, the first and foremost achievement to be gained is root. First root methods are often messy and include a lot of ADB commands and complicated procedures. As development for a phone evolves, so does the root method—one click methods come out, and eventually simple guides are written that allow even the newest users gain root, recovery, and get ready for their first ROM and kernel flashes.
The LG Optimus 3D now has one such guide courtesy of XDA Forum Member MANBEARPIG69. The guide helps users through the first root using the Optimus 3D's easiest one-click root method, and then shows users how to install ClockworkMod Recovery using ROM Manager. Of course, this is all that users need if they're only after root and recovery, but for those looking to install some custom ROMs and kernels, MANBEARPIG69 continues the guide by suggesting some good, stable ROMs and kernels. MANBEARPIG69 also provides short explanations of what the ROMs and kernels do and how to install them. Lastly, the guide gives users a list of a few root-enabled apps besides the typical (but awesome) Titanium Backup. This is an excellent way for new Android users to really get inside their Optimus 3D, and even for more advanced users looking for the latest and easiest root methods.
If you're looking for Optimus 3D root, recovery and more, hit up the original thread for download links, screen shots, step by step instructions and everything else you'll need to make the Optimus 3D work how you want it.

Looks like heat distortion in the tube where the brackets have been welded on for the mounting bolts. I'd suggest to Limebug that whilst they're taking a look at it, they send you a new straight one!
Agreed about the heat distortion,
Hi, been reading around threads and found "Pie valley" MGF as a donor and wondered if anyone had completed this and also if anyone has used a Toyota MR2 as a donor,
New to the club. I have a Mk 1 body in a white and star crack finish and a VW cabrilot, lots of initial enthusiasm and even more questions. I guess I need to start by sourcing a build manual, Haynes seem to have missed a chance. Is there such a thing and if there is where might I get one?

According to Ford, their better late than never competitor to the Jeep CJ-5 and the International Scout wasn't just another SUV, it was a four wheel drive sports car. Everywhere it went, the new for 1966 Bronco was blazing a trail of excitement.
Whether you were clearing snow off road or cruising down the road in two wheel drive (without the annoying whine), this vintage advertisement makes it look like the doorless SUV (in roadster form) was comfortable everywhere. Being somewhat familiar with SUVs of this vintage we don't doubt the Broncos ability to fly through the air with ease for a second, but we are fairly skeptical about the claimed "smooth as silk" ride on paved roads.

White Sox look to surprise critics in 2014
Falling above and below expectations in recent years, Chicago pursues consistency
CHICAGO -- It has been referred to as reshaping, refocusing or even retooling.
During SoxFest back in January, the seminars featuring general manager Rick Hahn and manager Robin Ventura on stage answering fans' questions were titled, "Recharged and Remade: Your 2014 White Sox."
These depictions all serve as accurate representations of the work put in by Hahn and his staff dating back to before the 2013 All-Star break to turn around a floundering 99-loss squad. But with pitchers and catchers reporting to Camelback Ranch on Saturday, proof of that work will soon be on the field.
"With our talks that we've had over the course of the second half of last season through the offseason until now, there was a plan, and [Rick] was able to do a lot of things that he set out to do that we were for, and that's not always easy to do," Ventura said. "It also takes some guts to be able to do that."
The White Sox do not enter the '14 campaign projected as an American League Central favorite among pundits. In fact, even the White Sox as an organization look at this younger, more energetic and more athletic group as more of a prime contender for 2015. It does not mean they are throwing away the current campaign via the dreaded "rebuilding" word: not by a long shot.
They have a strong pitching staff in place, with Cy Young candidate Chris Sale and Jose Quintana at the top. They believe more options exist offensively, not that there is anything wrong with the home run in a hitter-friendly ballpark like U.S. Cellular Field. But being able to manufacture a few runs along the way should help the White Sox rise after a season in which they totaled the fewest runs in the AL.
The White Sox are aiming for a similar reversal from their defense, perhaps something more resembling their performance from 2012. Many people did not think much of the White Sox chances in '12, yet the club was in first place for 117 days before a late-season fade. Of course, after visions of playoff contention the following year, the team did not come close.
So excuse the White Sox if they list improvement and development as their main preseason targets.
"I'm hoping this can be the first step toward getting this ballclub in the position to be a contender for '15, '16, '17 and '18," said White Sox television play-by-play announcer Ken "Hawk" Harrelson, who told fans at SoxFest he was staying away from predictions after telling last year's group that the White Sox were "going to have some fun" in '13.
"Our goal is to get this thing right for a long period of time," Hahn said. "It's not just slap Band-Aids on this thing for 2014 and say, 'Look, we are better.'"

Triple play: Three questions that need answers
1. Who will catch the White Sox attention?
One of the biggest areas of fan concern at SoxFest was catcher, and understandably so. The team ranked last in OPS among AL catchers (.564), last in runs scored (47) and third from the bottom in combined average (.196). They still intend to give a healthy Tyler Flowers and a more experienced Josh Phegley the chance to win and own the job, with Rule 5 addition Adrian Nieto in the mix. Hahn will also keep his eyes open to trade targets who would fit the reshaping blueprint.
2. Is this a make-or-break campaign for Gordon Beckham?
Hahn would never use such terminology for a talent who is just 27 and in his sixth big league season. But Beckham also sits two seasons away from free agency, with such top prospects at second base as Micah Johnson, Marcus Semien and Carlos Sanchez on their way up. Beckham has become one of the top defensive second basemen in the AL and is in his best place offensively since '09. He needs to stay healthy to see if the results will match that good feeling.
3. When does the Matt Davidson era officially begin?
The White Sox gave up Addison Reed, a young closer who posted 69 saves over the past two years, in order to acquire Davidson. Yet there is still a strong chance Davidson begins the season with Triple-A Charlotte. The White Sox will probably view Davidson's big league climb in the same way they viewed Avisail Garcia last year: When there are consistent at-bats available, he will join the White Sox.

5. Felipe Paulino, 0-3, 6.51 ERA in 2013 in Minors
Projected bullpen
Closer: Nate Jones, 0/4 saves, 4.15 ERA in 2013
RH setup man: Matt Lindstrom, 3.12 ERA in 2013
LH setup man: Scott Downs, 2.49 ERA in 2013
The new guys
1B Abreu: At the core of the White Sox reshaping sits the 6-foot-3, 255-pound free agent from Cuba, who comes to Chicago via a six-year, $68 million deal. The White Sox do not want to put any extra burden on a 26-year-old who has never faced Major League pitching, and he will have Paul Konerko and Dunn to help his development. But Abreu is projected not only as a middle-of-the-order power hitter, but also a quality hitter overall who has a consistent plan at the plate.
CF Eaton: Eaton has been described as a "dirtbag," and not only does not object but fully embraces the terminology. He has been compared to Aaron Rowand, with his grinder style of play, and has been compared to A.J. Pierzynski with the competitive edge he brings. The White Sox simply hope Eaton can consistently get on base at the top of the order and anchor the outfield defense in center.
3B Davidson: The top White Sox prospect per MLB.com might not break camp with the team, but he is being considered the White Sox future at this position. Davidson possesses corner infield power, and he impressed hitting coach Todd Steverson with his ability to use the whole field during early workouts.
RHP Ronald Belisario: Jesse Crain and Matt Thornton served valuable roles in the back end of the White Sox bullpen not only as setup men but also via their strong veteran presence. Belisario, 31, and owner of a 3.97 ERA over 77 games for the Dodgers last season, will help fill that void along with fellow free-agent addition Downs.
LHP Downs: The 37-year-old southpaw began his Major League career as part of the Cubs' starting rotation, and he now opens his 13th season as a vital part of the White Sox bullpen. Downs has limited left-handed hitters to a .219 average over his career but will be considered more than a left-handed specialist.
C Nieto: It will be a busy Spring Training for the switch-hitting catcher, who has never played above the Carolina League. The Rule 5 selection from Washington will be learning as he tries to earn a roster spot, avoiding the possibility of being sent back to the Nationals if he does not stick on the active roster.
RHP Paulino: Put Paulino in the under-the-radar acquisition category that has the White Sox excited about his possibilities at the back end of the rotation. Paulino had ulnar collateral ligament replacement surgery on his right elbow on July 3, 2012, and he had a cyst removed from his right shoulder in mid-September, but the White Sox expect him to be pitching without limitations in Arizona.
LHP Eric Surkamp: The White Sox claimed Surkamp off waivers, and the southpaw gives them further rotation depth so they do not have to push Paulino if he is not quite ready during Spring Training.
Prospects to watch
RHP Johnson: The fourth starter in the White Sox rotation has graduated from pure prospect status. But at 24 years old, he stands as the system's top young hurler.
White sox top prospects
|Erik Johnson
|Matt Davidson
OF Trayce Thompson: There were still a few too many strikeouts for Thompson in his first full season at Double-A Birmingham. But the White Sox like his development at the plate and in the outfield defensively, and he could close in on the big leagues in 2015.
OF Courtney Hawkins: Some believe Class A Winston-Salem and the Carolina League were too tough of a challenge for the power-packed outfielder, who just turned 20 in November. Hawkins' confidence was anything but shaken even after hitting .178 and striking out 160 times over 383 at-bats in high Class A. Hawkins did knock out 19 homers and 16 doubles, with 10 stolen bases.
SS Tim Anderson: The team's top pick in the 2013 First-Year Player Draft showed off great athleticism over 267 at-bats for Class A Kannapolis. Despite 19 errors in 63 games, the White Sox and Anderson believe shortstop remains his position of the present and the future.
2B Johnson: Johnson topped all Minor Leaguers in 2013 with 84 stolen bases across three stops, and he rose as quickly as anyone in the White Sox system. Johnson understands and embraces his role of getting on base and creating havoc, though he is not secretly harboring desires of becoming a power hitter.
INF Semien: There is little doubt Semien is Major League ready. But he will probably start at Charlotte given the current roster configuration. Semien has the ability to play across the infield, and he scored 110 runs with a .401 on-base percentage last season.
2B Sanchez: Memories of a tough 2013 season, in which he hit .241 with a .293 on-base percentage, were erased by a .341 average over 221 at-bats this winter in Venezuela. Although Sanchez possesses defensive versatility, his best position is at second. And remember, he just turned 21 on June 29.
RHP Daniel Webb: Webb posted a 1.87 ERA over three Minor League stops last year. He produced a 3.18 ERA over nine games with the White Sox and is being considered for the big league closer's role in 2014.
On the rebound
DH Dunn: From June to August, Dunn was the most productive hitter in the White Sox order. The White Sox know batting average does not tell the story for a power-packed hitter like Dunn with great on-base potential. But they would like a bit more consistency from the veteran, who finds himself in a first base/designated hitter platoon with Konerko and Abreu.
C Flowers: In his first game taking over for A.J. Pierzynski, Flowers homered for the only run in a 1-0 victory over the Royals, and he was behind the plate for a shutout started by Sale. It all sort of went downhill from there. Flowers did play the season with a sore shoulder that was surgically repaired, and he has renewed confidence offensively as he gets this second chance. Handling the pitchers has always been a strong suit for Flowers.
C Phegley: Phegley set the bar high with three homers and eight RBIs over his first five big league games in July, but he did not finish nearly as strong. The White Sox have afforded Phegley the same second chance as Flowers, and they hope greater experience leads to greater consistency.
INF Jeff Keppinger: It was a rough White Sox debut in 2013 for the veteran, who still managed to hit .316 in August and .306 in September to finish at .253. Keppinger opened the year as the team's third baseman but will be used more across the infield in a super utility role this season.
LHP Danks: The results might not exactly show it, but the 22 starts and 138 1/3 innings hurled by Danks in 2013 were a major step forward following season-ending arthroscopic shoulder surgery the previous August. The White Sox expect Danks to be near 100 percent after his 4-14 showing and 4.75 ERA last year.
Long gone
RHP Reed: As Hahn said at SoxFest, you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet. Trading an established young closer with 69 saves over the past two seasons for a third baseman of the future was one of those eggs cracked. The White Sox have had great success over the years developing closers, allowing them to take this chance by moving Reed.
LHP Hector Santiago: Santiago did everything that was asked of him: from closing to middle relief to full-time work as a starter for most of the 2013 season. He also was a great contributor in the clubhouse and off the field in the community. But as the fourth lefty in the rotation and not a certainty to remain a starter, Santiago was deemed moveable as part of a three-team deal that brought back Eaton.
INF Brent Morel: This one-time third baseman of the future was claimed off waivers by the Blue Jays, who will move him to second base. Morel deserves credit for battling his way to return from back injuries that cost him most of the 2012 season.
RHP Gavin Floyd: Floyd's final season with the White Sox ended via surgery to repair the ulnar collateral ligament and a torn flexor muscle in his elbow in May. Floyd moved on to the Braves via free agency.

GE exec says urgent 'energy evolution' is needed
The evolution of a smarter power grid in the United States and the resulting impact it could have on the economy and environment were highlighted in a recent address by Bob Gilligan at the Advanced Energy 2010 Conference.
"While revolutionary energy technologies are developed each day, the way we apply them to modernize and nurture our electrical infrastructure is really more of an evolution than a revolution," said Gilligan, vice president of digital energy for GE Energy Services. "What's important is taking steps today to lay the foundation for our growing energy appetite. We can then sustain ongoing efforts to improve our energy landscape."
Using conservative technology growth estimates, Gilligan laid out a scenario where the total U.S. energy consumption and emissions saved between 2010 and 2030 could exceed the entire electrical consumption and electrical CO2 output for all of 2010. "The net result would be like 2010 never happened," he explained.
In addition to the energy and pollution savings, Gilligan's scenario saw the creation of 140,000 sustainable new jobs and an electrical landscape that includes 3.3 billion fewer customer outage minutes. These power reliability improvements could result in savings of $65.7 billion from reduced power interruptions by 2030.
Gilligan supported his call for an energy evolution, including:
· Growing cities that will house more than 60% of the world's population and consume a vast majority of its power by 2030 cannot rely on an infrastructure designed a century ago
· Global electricity demand is forecasted to increase 75% by 2030
· Energy costs are increasing worldwide; US rates increased an average of 42% between 2000 and 2007
· More than 40% of current environmental emissions are from electric generation
· Approximately half of the transformer assets in the U.S. electrical infrastructure are at or approaching the end of their design life
"The good news is that we are not talking gloom and doom," Gilligan said. "Our electrical future can be a story of potential, opportunity and global competitive advantage. With increased reliability, efficiency and sustainability, we'll be able to power traditional economic growth and be ready for the next generation of life-changing technology. We can do it by taking measured, affordable evolutionary steps. However, we, as a country, must act today."

Ewan McGregor isn't the only star who would jump at the chance to reprise his role in "Star Wars 7." Samuel L. Jackson is game to return to the flick as Mace Windu as well.

Star Wars 7 & Beyond: Empire, Jedi Writer Lawrence Kasdan onboard for sequel in new trilogy
In spite of his busy schedule (he already has three films in production), the "Avengers" actor told us he was "excited" that more "Star Wars" films were on the way and would love to be a part of them.
"I'm not surprised but totally geeked by the idea of there being more 'Star Wars,'" Jackson told E! News at the Spike TV Video Game Awards Friday. "It's like, okay, Obi-Wan was dead when episode four started, so maybe everyone thinks I'm dead and we'll find out what happened to Mace Windu. I can come back as one-armed or a one-handed Jedi that's still around that didn't actually die."
Sounds interesting, right?
When asked if he would definitely come back for the film, Jackson said, "Hell yeah!"
'Star Wars 7': Mark Hamill Talks Returning as Luke Skywalker
"I could do that or be a ghost hologram. I don't care," Jackson quipped. "I just want to stay associated with the franchise. Not that I won't because I've been in three of them."
Considering the Oscar-nominated actor's long and accomplished career, what is it about the franchise that has him so excited to return to it?
"I just always loved it. I always loved the idea of it, that there's this whole civilization out there somewhere else that's just as much fun and different and diverse and wild as we are."
Where are the 'Star Wars' alums now? Take a look.
The film is still only in the pre-production stage, but it's slated for a 2015 release.
We're crossing our fingers for Jackson's return.

What Lexus is hoping to find by sponsoring the USA Pro Challenge
ASPEN — If you watched the caravan drive by during any of the seven stages of the USA Pro Challenge, you might have noticed one difference from years past: A lot more Lexus vehicles and no Nissans.
Nissan for the last three years has provided vehicles for staff, crew and some of the smaller teams of the Pro Challenge who otherwise don't have their own team cars. But the company — at the behest of a new chief marketing officer — decided to pull its budget out of all endurance sports, including cycling and running (they were also a major sponsor at the Boston Marathon). Nissan had also sponsored the Tour of California, and its decision to pull back left that race without a vehicle provider this year.
"Nissan was a great partner the first three years of the race," said Shawn Hunter, CEO of the Pro Challenge. "We were very fortunate to meet the leadership at Lexus. They very much believe in cycling and what we're building here in Colorado at the USA Pro Challenge, so we created a new two-year partnership, and I couldn't be more excited."
Lexus thinks it's found an answer to reach a younger audience — both in age, but also in spirit — by sponsoring the Pro Challenge as the official vehicle provider for 2014 and 2015. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the deal does provide the race with 125 vehicles that give VIPs a chance to drive them, plus staff and other race officials. The cars run the gamut from mid-size to luxury sedans.

We're going to take a close look, now, at the human cost when an industry shuts down. Oregon has kept detailed records on what happened to thousands of people who lost their jobs when the state's RV manufacturing industry imploded during the recession. Since then, many workers dropped from middle wage to low wage earners, a trend playing out across the United States. Some fared even worse. NPR's Kelly McEvers when to Oregon to meet the people behind the numbers.
BRADLEY WARING: Entering Junction City, 5,460 people.
KELLY MCEVERS, BYLINE: Junction City, Oregon, yeah. So at one time, this was, after Elkhart, Indiana, the RV manufacturing center of the world. At the height of the industry, I think up to 8,000 people were employed just in the manufacturing industry. Just tell everybody who you are.
WARING: My name is Bradley Waring(ph). I was a major supplier to all of the top name RV manufacturers in the United States of America.
MCEVERS: As we drive into town, Brad and I are surrounded by high end recreational vehicles sitting on lots unsold. When I say high end RVs, I mean those big situations that are shaped like a bus. Consignment, RV sales.
WARING: Right. Sales, (intelligible) consignment.
MCEVERS: Automotive.
WARING: And then, they're, yeah, they got, you know, used cars on their lot. They're just doing whatever they can to survive.
MCEVERS: After companies that made RVs here went out of business, the people who used to work for them saw dramatic changes even if they managed to get new jobs. Employment records show former RV employees lost nearly two-thirds of their wages. That means if you were making good money, you're now making okay money. If you were making okay money, now you're making not-so-great money.
And if you were making not-so-great money, well, you see where this is going. So let's start with Brad. He's in that first category, someone who was making good money. When business was good, Brad was traveling around the country supplying heated floors for luxury RVs. On paper, he was worth a million bucks. Then, in 2007, banks stopped lending to customers who wanted to buy RVs. Sales started to slip. RV manufacturers here started laying people off.
WARING: When the economy collapsed and those companies filed bankruptcy, I was forced to file bankruptcy myself.
MCEVERS: And fire all his employees. He's now publishing a newsletter and a website to encourage RV tourism in Oregon and looking for the next business to start. He and his wife get by on about $36,000 a year. Of the dozens of former RV employees I talked to, many at the high end, like Brad, said while the industry collapse was a shock, in the end, they will be fine.
Most said they simply had to reinvent themselves. Problem is, that reinvention means getting by on much less than before. Which brings us to the second category. Just a few miles down the road from Junction City is the college town of Eugene, Oregon. That's where I meet Don Culver(ph), a single dad at his favorite taco joint.
When I tell him I'm buying, he splurges on the $5 burrito. You usually get something else here?
DON CULVER: I usually - $2.35 (unintelligible) carne asado taco.
MCEVERS: Don has to be frugal these days. He used to make $50,000 a year as an inventory control supervisor at one of the big RV makers. He sent his four boys to private school. They all went to the symphony, vacationed in England. Then, the RV company started struggling, Don took a pay cut and one Monday...
CULVER: Showed up to work and I could tell that this was the day.
MCEVERS: The company closed. Don went on unemployment.
CULVER: It wasn't really enough, so what we did is I rented out rooms in my house.
MCEVERS: Three bedrooms to renters, one bedroom for Don and the four boys. The next summer, Don and the boys got referee licenses and spent weekends reffing(ph) soccer tournaments. They'd camp or sleep on friends floors to earn enough money to pay for school supplies and cover some bills at home. Don finally did get a job earlier this year at a call center. You mind if I ask what the pay is?
CULVER: It's about $10 an hour.
MCEVERS: Plus bonuses, that's about $25,000 a year, half of what Don made before. Don says he figures he'll have to work until he dies. With wages stagnating and middle class jobs dwindling, he's not feeling so good about the future.
CULVER: I almost think it's going to go back to pre-1930s, two, three generations living in one house trying to keep things together. It's going to take possibly having chickens and growing food in the back. It's going to take two or three incomes in one household to keep it afloat.
MCEVERS: Here's the thing. As hard as it's been for Don, he managed to make it. He's down to renting only one room in the house now, which brings us to the third group, folks who were getting by and now it's really tough.
SUSAN JONES: If you will take a step to your right, and there are some big tables in there...
MCEVERS: We're back in Junction City where Susan Jones is the executive director of local aid. She tells a delivery guy where to put a bag of donated potatoes. The agency operates out of a building once owned by one of the big RV companies, Country Coach. When it went under, the number of local aid clients who need food, clothes and assistance with utilities, went up. Susan Jones takes me to two of these clients, Matt Lucero(ph) and his girlfriend.
JONES: Kelly, this is Matt and Amy.
MCEVERS: How are you? Nice to meet you. Hey, how are you?
For two years, Matt was a welder and laminator for Country Coach. So was it good money or...
MATT LUCERO: Yeah, it was good money. I mean, you could work on the weekends when you wanted, to make extra income.
MCEVERS: Matt made about $21,000 a year, a living wage in Junction City. He had his own apartment above the Dollar Tree. In late 2007, he left town for his mom's funeral. When he got home, the layoffs had already started. He couldn't get hired back. Now, he lives in his girlfriend Amy's camper in an alley next to a trailer park. He shows me a big hunk of ice where a garden hose is supposed to give water to the camper.
LUCERO: Frozen solid.
MCEVERS: So you can't take showers.
LUCERO: No. Been three days, frozen solid.
MCEVERS: How do you - and then you got propane tanks on the back, yep.
LUCERO: Yep, yep. Got heat.
MCEVERS: Do you care if I ask what your income is now?
LUCERO: It's nothing. Zero.
MCEVERS: So have you guys - how do you do it?
LUCERO: Amy's on Social Security. We get by on just whatever she can supply. That guy there - there's old Raymond. Old Ray, he's homeless. You know, he's been living out in the sticks.
MCEVERS: Oh, my goodness.
LUCERO: I don't know what I'd do if Amy wasn't around. I'd be out there with Ray, homeless.
MCEVERS: The Oregon employment departments says 36 percent of the thousands of people who used to work in the RV industry had no reported income four years after they lost their jobs. Many of them left the state. Others, like Matt, stayed. I asked him how he spends his days.
LUCERO: Right now, we spend it with that little puppy there. So just making time go by, I guess.
MCEVERS: All three of these guys - Brad, Don, Matt - are in their 50s and economists say all three of them represent a long running trend that's bigger than the recession as middle wage jobs disappear. In many places, it's low wage jobs or no jobs that come in their place and that means, for a lot of people, life will never be the same. Kelly McEvers, NPR News.

Boulder's Friends School is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a year-long project on the power of gratitude.
Each teacher is incorporating gratitude into lessons, including asking younger students to talk about what they're thankful for and older ones to write about it in daily journals.
For parents and community members, the school brought in Christine Carter, a sociologist and "happiness expert" at the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California at Berkeley, to speak. The school also is participating in a research study on how gratitude affects school climate. Projects include a book drive and planting bulbs in neighbors' yards.
Steve de Beer, head of the school, said the end goal is to collaborate with the researchers on a gratitude curriculum that other schools can use.
"It's really trying to change attitudes and the way kids look at the world," he said. "There's a lot of science on gratitude. If you raise kids to be grateful, they will find success."
Last week, the school used its annual harvest festival to highlight gratitude.
For the harvest festival, each class makes its own version of "stone soup" using vegetables brought in by the parents and chopped by students in the older grades. Then parents join the students for a stone soup lunch.
Fourth-grader Gus Martens said his class' soup included potatoes, celery, carrots, tomatoes and "every possible vegetable." He was hoping he would find the stone in his bowl.
"It gives you good luck for a whole year," he said.
Before trying their soup, they heard the story — soldiers ask villagers for food and are at first denied, but convince the villagers to add a little bit of this and that to water boiled with a stone.
"If you share, you'll get more than you actually have," said fourth-grader Lucca Fulkerson. "Harvest Festival is a great way for everybody to come together and learn how to share."

Appeal brought on 6 May 2019 by the European Commission against the judgment of the General Court (Fourth Chamber) delivered on 26 February 2019 in Case T-865/16, Fútbol Club Barcelona v Commission
(Case C-362/19 P)
Language of the case: Spanish
Appellant: European Commission (represented by: P. Němečková, B. Stromsky and G. Luengo, acting as Agents)
Other parties to the proceedings: Fútbol Club Barcelona and Kingdom of Spain
Form of order sought
The appellant claims that the Court of Justice should:
set aside the judgment under appeal;
refer the case back to the General Court of the European Union;
reserve the costs.
Grounds of appeal and main arguments
The General Court erred in law in its interpretation of Article 107(1) of the Treaty and, in particular, in its interpretation of the concept of the advantage of State aid and the Commission's duty to assess whether there is such an advantage. That single ground of appeal is divided into two parts, which derive from the error of law identified:
First, the Commission submits that the General Court erred in finding that the examination to determine whether a particular tax regime confers an advantage on its beneficiaries requires not only an analysis of the inherent and well established criteria of the regime being examined, which may place the beneficiaries in a more favourable position in comparison with other undertakings subject to the general regime, but also that that assessment also requires the analysis of unfavourable elements caused by variable circumstances outside the regime in each tax year, even when those unfavourable elements are uncertain and cannot systematically negate the advantage and that, furthermore, they cannot be foreseen in an ex ante review of the regime.
Second, including on the basis of that incorrect assessment of the concept of advantage, the General Court misinterpreted the Commission's due diligence obligation in the context of the examination of the existence of a State aid system, and erred in law with regard to the burden of proof which the Commission has in showing that there is an advantage in this case.

Last Monday we introduced the mathematical concept of inverse proportions, as part of our new series Peter & Vickie's Laws of Life (LOL). This week's LOL is an example of another mathematical concept, the one-to-one-correspondence, A.K.A. bijection, and could be stated thus: There is a 0ne-to-one correspondence between the change in direction of health advice and the change in direction of the U.S. Treasury Bond Interest Rate.
Here are some examples that support this LOL (refer to the graph above):
One of the best teachers I had was Mr. Ford, a bulky, real-man-football-coach, who didn't eat salad but always found fun, engaging ways to teach. For a few weeks of 8th grade biology, he would begin nearly every lesson with, "When you eat a ham sandwich with lettuce …" and proceed to explain how you digest carbs, protein, etc., but the lettuce was pure cellulose, provided no nutritional value and went "right on through." This became a class favorite. He'd say his line and excited hands would instantly thrust into the air as our little buts bounced off the seats. We just couldn't wait to finish the rant against lettuce. In fact, the final question on that year's final exam (worth 20 points) was an essay: "What happens when you eat a ham sandwich with lettuce?" My buddy Austin Shelton (who played guitar in my band back then) got 25 points because, in addition to the correct answer, he added a diagram of the complete "lettuce path", showing it coming out the ass. The year was 1968 and interest rates were on the rise.
Then, in 1982 Frances Moore Lappé published Diet for a Small Planet, in which she, among other things, promoted the nutritional value of lettuce and interest rates made their steepest reversal of the 20th century!
Need more proof than this? OK, here goes:
In 1941 people begin using Margarine (a trans-fat) instead of butter and the war against saturated fats in our diets begins in earnest. Interest rates reverse course. In 2006, saturated fats are good again, trans-fats are bad, trans-fat labeling becomes mandatory and NYC bans trans-fats in restaurants. Once again interest rates reverse course.
In 1900, doctors actually prescribed smoking to calm nerves, etc. Smoking was thought to be good for you. Interest rates were on the rise. But scientists were beginning to connect smoking to health problems and in 1921 several states banned smoking. Interest rates began to drop. In 1940 doctors began promoting smoking again and, believe it or not, cigarette companies advertised in the JAMA. Interest rates began to rise. In 1960 Smokey the Bear said (in an anti-smoking campaign) "Only you can prevent forest fires." Interest rates began to fall.
What's next? Guess we'll have to wait until interest rates rise again to see the newest health fad. Until then, I'll follow the advice I heard from Julia Child defending her "rich French foods", saying that her mother always advised "Moderation in all things and a little bit of everything." — and I'll enjoy a little bit (or a lot) of everything at our great local restaurants — especially the ones with live music (see here).
In these days when TV chefs are more popular than rock stars, here's a tribute (with music) to the greatest TV chef of all time.

12 NUI Galway Medical Students to be Given Opportunity to Train in Developing Countries
The Hospital Saturday Fund gives opportunity to students to spend two months in a developing country
Students of medicine will have new opportunities to spend two months in a developing country with funding made available by The Hospital Saturday Fund. The School of Medicine working with the Galway University Foundation will invite fourth year students of medicine to apply for funding for the medical electives, which will be offered in the summer of 2014.
A medical elective is a period of supervised learning, chosen by the student. In this case the work will be in a resource poor setting which has many recognised benefits for students: to experience clinical practice and health care in different cultural and organisational settings and to learn about diseases and conditions that are not often seen at home.
Senior Lecturer in Social and Preventative Medicine Dr Diarmuid O'Donovan welcomed the support of The Hospital Saturday Fund and said "these electives help to improve the ability of students to manage patients from diverse backgrounds and to better understand global health. Many electives are based in low-resource tropical settings where the organisation and provision of healthcare, and the social, cultural, economic and political environments are very different from what students have experienced in their home institutions."
Hospital Saturday Fund (HSF) Chief Executive Paul Jackson visited NUI Galway to meet some of the staff and students of the medical school and said The Hospital Saturday Fund is delighted to be supporting Galway University with the establishment of their Medical Electives Programme which will give students the opportunity to extend their knowledge and skills in diverse overseas locations. The Hospital Saturday Fund is pleased to have the opportunity to establish a partnership with Galway University and look forward to working closely with them in future and seeing the development of the students as they benefit from first-hand clinical experience and development of their skills'.
The Hospital Saturday Fund is a charity that provides grants to medical charities, hospitals and hospices and this includes making awards to medical schools to fund medical student electives. The support has been welcomed by the School of Medicine. Research and clinical elective opportunities are highly prized among medical students. This support will facilitate twelve students who will work in various clinical disciplines in developing countries. These elective opportunities will be awarded based on an essay competition that will be open to all students in the fourth medical year.
NUI Galway's School of Medicine is also exploring the possibility of student exchanges with medical schools in developing countries. NUI Galway is committed to providing a high standard of training to ensure that students receive adequate and appropriate preparation before going abroad. Students planning to travel are offered training by the School of Medicine, in conjunction with the International Office and the Community Knowledge Initiative programme. This training covers broad areas such as personal health advice, travel safety and security, cultural awareness and stress management.

When I arrived to the stadium and I saw you, I felt like this was going to be the best night in my life. You made us enjoy and sing all your songs during more than an hour. Thank you for your music, each of your songs is the best present that we, your fans, could ever receive. Maybe I won't be chosen to have this camera, but I will have your music. Thanks for not only being a great rapper, but also a great person.

It is 6 p.m., and darkness has just fallen on the Lacandon jungle, a dense patch of rainforest in Mexico's southernmost state, Chiapas. A cry rings out: "Food circle!" At this signal, hundreds of people emerge from the forest and gather in a clearing, forming a circle, holding hands. They start to chant, softly, "Om … Om …" while lifting their joined hands toward the sky. The chanting stops as suddenly as it began, and a vegan dinner is served from huge steaming pots.
These men and women, who travelled to this spot in the vicinity of Palenque's pre-Colombian ruins from dozens of different countries around the globe, are here with one aim in mind: to witness the end of the world on December 21, 2012, a date that marks the end of the Mayan calendar. They are part of the "rainbow movement," a post-hippie collective that emerged in Oregon in 1970 around the teachings of writer Barry Adams and gemstone specialist Garrick Beck. Its members gather annually across the U.S. on July 4th.
Most expect they won't be around for next summer's gathering.
There are no leaders in the movement. "All decisions are taken 100 percent consensually by talking circles," explains Bolivia, a 32-year-old Briton. The camp functions without money: food is prepared by a group of volunteers and handed out for free. Other necessities can be bartered. Trading currencies include sweets, crystals or Snicker bars. Alcohol, meat and loudspeakers are forbidden.
Rainbow Gathering attendees, who call themselves The Family, spend their days bathing naked in the river, doing improvisational theater, juggling or practicing yoga. Twice a day they gather for the food circle. Most live in the manner they do in hopes of showing the rest of the world that an alternative way of life — "without wars, guns or money," as Bolivia puts it — is possible. Among Family members there is a lot of talk of chakras, inverted pyramids and "portals" that will open on December 21st.
The end of the Mayan world, meanwhile, is a much more down-to-earth affair. It is taking place roughly 100 miles from where the Family is gathered, in a small village called Lacanja Chansayab that houses the last descendants of a civilization that dominated Mesoamerica from roughly 250 to 900 AD. There are fewer than a thousand Maya left. They speak a language, Hach T'ana, that closely resembles that of their ancestors. They wear their hair long, don white tunics, hunt with bows and arrows and revere their gods by burning rubber dolls in ceremonies that symbolize human sacrifice.
Or, at least, they did until recently. The Lacandon Indians emigrated from the Yucatan peninsula in the 18th century to flee the conquistadors, and remained there almost untouched until the middle of the 20th century, when loggers and archeologists started to arrive in the area. The erosion of their culture accelerated in 1998, with the opening of the road from Palenque. Electricity followed shortly after, in 2000.
As we pull into the village on a sunny day in December, change is apparent everywhere. A truck is unloading a fridge, a washing machine and a TV. Music blares from the loudspeakers of the Refugio de Esperanza, the Pentecostal church that set up shop here 13 years ago.
"The hardest thing for me was learning to wear shoes," remembers 53-year-old Chan K'in.
But modernity also brought with it more serious woes: "A lot of the kids leave the village to attend secondary school in nearby towns," explains 26-year-old Victorino. "When they are away from their family, with no one to watch over them, they often start taking drugs." Lacanja Chansayab lies just a few miles from the border with Guatemala, along one of the main cocaine routes.
But what really disrupted village life was the advent of money. In 2004, the Mexican tourism authority decided to sponsor ecotourism infrastructures in the village, in part to ensure Lacandon loyalty in the face of the 1994 Zapatista rebellion in neighboring communities.
"We gave 550,000 pesos (43,200 dollars) to eleven families to build three cabañas each," says Alberto Morales Cleveland, the local tourism representative.
Other families had to manage without that help. "The head of the village shared the subsidies among his friends and the community is now split between those who received money and those who didn't," sighs Martin, who operates an independent eco-lodge.
"I don't believe December 21st will be the end of the world. But for us, life as we knew it has certainly come to an end," laments his brother, Ismael.
