Atlantic states including North Carolina should more aggressively take advantage of their offshore wind resources, the National Wildlife Federation says in a new report.
Harnessing 4 percent of the 1,300 gigawatts of Atlantic wind energy potential, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory has estimated, could power 14 million homes. North Carolina has more wind potential in near-shore waters than any other East Coast state, the lab has estimated.
Yet not one turbine spins off the East Coast, although the controversial Cape Wind project in Massachusetts is expected to generate electricity by 2015.
The U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is working with officials in North Carolina, South Carolina and eight other states to set the stage for offshore wind-energy leases. The bureau expects to announce potential lease areas and gauge the interest by commercial developers through an upcoming "call" for information.
About a dozen developers responded to similar calls in Virginia and Maryland, says Brian O'Hara, president of the N.C. Offshore Wind Coalition. The Department of Energy is also expected to announce research grants for offshore wind technology aimed at bringing costs down.
The challenge, O'Hara says, is finding buyers for the power. It's a question not only of connecting offshore turbines to the electric grid but of policy. North Carolina demands that utilities supply the cheapest power available, a position that doesn't consider the long-term benefits of developing a resource with high initial costs.
Wind should be included in the state's renewable-energy standard, alongside the existing targets for solar and other alternative fuels, says Richard Mode, the Wildlife Federation's outreach coordinator in Morganton. Legislators should make the standard itself more aggressive than the 12.5 percent clean-energy goal it sets for 2021, he says, and reconsider a measure to boost the economic development potential of offshore wind.
"All this is to build certainty in the marketplace" that state policies support the industry, he says.
Gov. Bev Perdue created an offshore wind task force in 2011, but because of budget cuts it has never been met.

Duke makes one sustainability list, falls off another
For the seventh year, Duke Energy has been ranked on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for North American companies -- but fell off the world index after a two-year run.
Duke is among nine utilities picked of 33 considered for the North American index. Companies are reviewed for their performance on topics including corporate governance, environmental policy, climate strategy, human capital development and labor practices.
Now the largest U.S. electric utility after its merger with Progress Energy, Duke touts its renewable energy, energy efficiency and environmental records in an annual report. "Sustainability pushes us to find the right balance among the needs of people, the planet and profits," Lee Mazzocchi, Duke's senior vice president and chief integration and innovation officer, said in a press release.
But Dow Jones dropped Duke from its world index, where it was listed in 2010 and 2011. Duke was the fifth-largest corporation to be deleted, following IBM, GlaxoSmithKline, United Technologies and Spain's Telefonica SA. Microsoft, Target and Hewlett-Packard were among U.S. companies joining the list.
It's not clear why Duke fell off the index. A Dow Jones spokesman wasn't immediately available.
"I think it's just a matter that the bar keeps getting raised," said Duke spokesman Randy Wheeless. "We definitely have our sights set on getting back on that list."
Dow Jones compiles the index with Zurich-based Sustainable Asset Management Group.

Charlotteans like public transit -- and suburbia
A national survey by the Natural Resources Defense Council finds support for more local spending on buses, light rail and other public transportation. But additional interviews in Mecklenburg County also show a strong appetite for far-flung suburbs and long commutes.
A bipartisan polling team conducted telephone interviews with 800 likely voters for NRDC in late June and early July. The survey found that Americans want to spend less time in their cars, but most feel they have no other choice.
Mecklenburg officials say vehicle emissions -- compounded by commuters driving alone to and from work -- are the biggest local contributors to Charlotte's long-time smog problem. Metro Charlotte routinely ranks among the nation's smoggiest cities.
Only one in three in the NRDC survey said convenient public transportation is available, while two out of three said they would like their local governments to spend more on buses, trains and light rail. Those surveyed were twice as likely to support expanding public transportation instead of building new roads.
The pollsters did 200 additional interviews in Mecklenburg County and in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, home of Cleveland, and suburban Philadelphia. All three cities fell in line with national support for improving public transportation.
But this is where the answers get interesting for Charlotte.
While 43 percent of Mecklenburg residents like compact houses on small lots with short commutes, 45 percent prefer larger houses on bigger lots with commutes of 40 minutes or more. Nationally, only 29 percent like such communities.
Fifty-one percent of Mecklenburgers want walkable communities with mixes of houses, apartments and stores. But 46 percent would rather live in residential-only neighborhoods where they have to drive to stores, a lifestyle endorsed by 40 percent nationally.
Another 51 percent in Mecklenburg say new development should be built within existing cities and suburbs. Thirty-nine percent -- compared to 30 percent nationally -- say it should go on undeveloped land outside those areas.
"It seems like it might be people wanting the best of both worlds," says Shannon Binns, executive director of Sustain Charlotte, an advocacy group working with NRDC. The group hosted a panel discussion on the topic during last week's Democratic National Convention.
Binns theorizes that driving is an accepted part of Charlotte's culture and that traffic congestion hasn't gotten bad enough to push local people toward alternatives. Changing that mindset, he acknowledges, will be a challenge.

Conservationists lacking in N.C. legislature, group says
And this year's winner of the N.C. Wildlife Federation's Legislator of the Year award is: Nobody.
For the first time in the 49-year history of its conservation achievement awards program, the Charlotte-based federation found no lawmaker worth honoring.
"These awards are the highest conservation honors in North Carolina, yet in the wake of one of the most wildlife- and environmentally-hostile General Assembly sessions of the last half-century, no legislator was singled out for heroic effort," the venerable group says.
The Republican-controlled legislature rolled back or seriously weakened "decades of common-sense protections and new ideas about sustainable energy development," the federation says. "Fundamental assumptions about science and economics were dismissed during the vicious acts of gutting regulations that protect clean air, clean water and the lands used for farming, timber harvest and outdoor recreation."
Legislators this year approved the controversial drilling practice of "fracking" for natural gas, which the federation says could hurt groundwater and wildlife habitat. Lawmakers also debated, but later softened, a measure that prohibited use of scientific models that show rates of sea-level rise accelerating as oceans warm and glaciers melt due to climate change.
The federation will honor other winners of its annual conservation awards on Sept. 8.

The Browns have a speed-related concern about receivers Greg Little and Josh Gordon, and it has nothing to do with their 40 times.
After reports surfaced today that both Little and Gordon have been caught driving way, way too fast, the team issued a statement acknowledging that the players need to be told to drive more safely.
"We're aware of the situation involving the players and their unacceptable driving records," the statement said. "We take matters such as this very seriously. We've spoken to both individuals, and will address the issue with the entire team."
Now, at this point, you may be asking, "What's the big deal?" Everyone drives too fast sometimes, right? But the details are alarming. Gordon got pulled over for driving 98 MPH in a 60 MPH zone, and he wasn't driving anywhere near as fast as his teammate.
According to WOIO Channel 19 News, Little admitted he was driving 127 miles an hour when he lost control on the Jennings Freeway, hit a guardrail, knocked down a light pole and left 40 yards of brake tracks.
Little was lucky that neither he, his passenger nor anyone else on the road was killed. He was also lucky that all he got was a $350 fine.
That was in April, but Little apparently hasn't learned his lesson: On Monday, Little was stopped for going 81 MPH in a 60 MPH zone. He also had expired plates.

The thrilling second chapter of the epic How To Train Your Dragon trilogy brings back the fantastical world of Hiccup and Toothless five years later.
It's been five years since Hiccup and Toothless successfully united dragons and vikings on the island of Berk. While Astrid, Snotlout and the rest of the gang are challenging each other to dragon races (the island's new favorite contact sport), the now inseparable pair journey through the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring new worlds. When one of their adventures leads to the discovery of a secret ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle to protect the peace. Now, Hiccup and Toothless must unite to stand up for what they believe while recognizing that only together do they have the power to change the future of both men and dragons.

PHOTO: Workers in Fiji's sugar industry plan to take a vote on strike action over pay rates. (File photo)(Photo: AFP/Bruce Southwick)
An expert on Fiji's sugar industry says a strike by sugar workers later this year could cripple the industry, right in the middle of the cane crushing season.
The general secretary of the Sugar and General Workers Union, Felix Anthony, says his members will vote on taking industrial action, as they have not had a pay rise in seven years.
However economist and Fiji sugar industry expert, Dr Padma Lal, has told Radio Australia's Pacific Beat program the proposed strike could have serious economic and political consequences.
"As it is, the number of farmers have been decreasing, the people have actually lost interest in planting cane," she said.
"If the mill workers were to go on strike, it will have an effect on the cane cutters, the transport workers as well as the farmers.
Dr Lal says sugar mills are not easy to run and skilled sugar workers are needed to ensure smooth operation of the mills.
"One would need to have a fairly good understanding of the whole production line," she said.
"There will also need to be fairly experienced engineers and others who could maintain the mill.
"The government could take that approach and say, 'This is an important industry and we can't actually be hostage to unions also... not be dictated to by people outside... who may not be seen to have the interest of the country at heart."

Remember the Gateway NV7915u? Back in our Spring 2010 retail roundup of laptops, the budget-priced 17-incher won our Best of Budget category, and also received an Editors' Choice recommendation. At $599, its combination of Intel Core i3 processor, large hard-drive capacity, generous RAM, and a large screen made it a great all-around machine at an extremely reasonable price.
Gateway's NV79 series of large-screened laptops has a range that starts at the NV7915u, and goes all the way up to the model we have now–the NV7901u. At $849, it's hardly the bargain that the NV7915u was. On the other hand, look at what you're getting: a 2.26 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, as well as dedicated ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphics that are much better than average. For an extra $250, the processor and graphical capabilities have received a significant upgrade while retaining the same body design that we found quite comfortable.
The problem is, the closer a laptop comes to $1,000, the easier it is to find a suitable replacement from another manufacturer with equally compelling features. With Blu-ray and a 1080p-resolution display missing from this Gateway's feature set, we're left with a product that's one foot in high-end, one foot in budget. If you're looking for a better and slightly cheaper jack-of-all-trades, the Samsung NP-R580 has a similar offering of Core i5 processor and Nvidia graphics and also adds a Blu-ray drive, albeit with a lower-res 15.6-inch screen, for $829.
To some extent, the NV7901u is attractive from the outside: clean lines and a red or black honeycomb-patterned glossy lid lend the unit a subtle appeal. It's the same look as that ofthe previously reviewed NV7915u. Inside, a matte black keyboard deck and a matte and flat keyboard dominate the bottom, while glossy black surrounds the large 17.3-inch display. Two round hinges hold the laptop together, the hinge thick enough to allow the power button to hide in the right side, much like many Sony Vaio laptops we've seen. There's minimal battery bulge, giving the unit a pretty uniform thickness. At 7 pounds, it's lighter than normal for a big-screen desktop replacement, but it's also no svelte computer. The slightly plastic look worked better for the NV7915u when it cost $599; at $849 it's less ideal.
Recent Gateway keyboards stand out from the pack by nature of having flat versus raised Chiclet-style keys, such as the ones seen on everything from MacBooks to Vaios. The wide, flat keys seem jarring by comparison at first, but the typing experience is actually surprisingly good. The key depressions are quiet yet retain a nice click with good travel, and the keys don't wobble. An adjoining number pad is a nice addition, but it's a little too close to the main keyboard for comfort. To its credit, however, direction arrows and Shift/Return keys are kept discrete and properly sized. Above the keyboard is a small LED-backlit touch panel for controlling volume, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a few other functions.
The slightly recessed multitouch-enabled pad has a smooth matte surface and is larger than average. It also controls well, with two-finger scrolling and pinch-to-zoom working better than normal for a Windows 7 touchpad. It's a shame the mouse button-bar beneath remains awkward. Thin, mirrored, and lacking discrete buttons, it's oddly flush with the rest of the palm-rest surface. Its positioning and design make it hard to click and use.
The Gateway NV7901u has a 17.3-inch LED-backlit screen, with a glossy surface and a 16:9 aspect ratio. It has a 1,600×900 native resolution, which is less than "full HD" 1,900×1,080 displays we've seen. The screen is big and bright, and its resolution does make a great space for photo-editing, viewing multiple documents and multitasking in multiple windows, but its viewing angles weren't as great as other recent screens we've seen. Above the screen, the same 0.3-megapixel Webcam included in the lower-end NV7915u offers video conferencing and picture-taking capabilities, but at a max resolution of 640×480. That's less than on the lower-powered EC5809u, which at least had a 720p Webcam. Pictures tended towards fuzzy and soft, and video was passable.
The integrated speakers, located above the keyboard and under thin grilles, had better-than-average volume and sound quality. They seemed a notch better than the recent EC5809u we tested and are definitely good enough for movie-watching and music-playing among friends.
USB ports aplenty and HDMI-out grace the NV7901u, but Bluetooth does not, despite a function-key emblazoned with the trademark B-symbol. For a laptop this large, the port features are a little barer than most, but it's enough to get the job done. Both eSATA and ExpressCard were absent from the lower-end NV7915u, and they're regrettably absent here, too.
A 500GB hard drive and 4GB of high-speed RAM match what were present on the NV7915u, too. In a $599 laptop those are great specs; on an $849 laptop, they're merely standard.
The Core i5 processor at the heart of the NV7901u is an improvement from the Core i3 in the NV7915u, and its advantages are most obvious in its improved multitasking benchmark scores. In terms of overall specs, this Gateway is a close match to the Samsung NP-R580 we liked quite a bit in the last retail round-up. It performs nearly identically to other Core i5 laptops, including the Lenovo IdeaPad Y460.
One improvement over the Samsung NP-R580, and over most laptops, are this Gateway's dedicated graphics. The included ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphics are considerably better than average: Unreal Tournament III ran at a very nice 63.4fps at the display's native 1,600×900 resolution and medium graphics settings. This machine is more than capable of playing mainstream games: we also tried Call of Juarez 2 at native resolution and found it smooth when set to lower graphics settings.
There are other NV79 model configurations available that include Blu-ray/DVD combo drives, but none that also have dedicated graphics. Gateway's forcing of the decision between Blu-ray or graphics seems odd–we'd have preferred an upgrade option on this model. One the things we liked most about the Samsung NP-R580 was its complete feature set in that regard, offering both graphics and Blu-ray. It still has an edge over the NV7901u because of it.
The Gateway NV7901u ran for 2 hours and 27 minutes on our video playback battery drain test, using the included six-cell battery. Our battery drain test is especially grueling, so you can expect longer life from casual Web surfing and office use, but that's still not a great number. Apple's recent MacBooks, by comparison, last well over 5 hours. While we don't imagine most users keeping a 17-inch laptop very far away from a power socket, it runs out of juice very quickly–especially when playing games.

Tickets On Sale Tomorrow, Saturday, February 9 At Noon ET!
NEW YORK, February 8 – The next chapter of the Mexico vs. Puerto Rico boxing rivalry will play out in the Big Apple on Saturday, March 2 when Mexico's Daniel Ponce De Leon defends his WBC Featherweight World Championship against Puerto Rico's latest knockout artist, Jayson Velez, in the main event from the legendary Apollo Theater in New York City live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXINGat 9:00 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast). The night of fights marks the first time in over 15 years that the Apollo has played host to professional boxing with the last fight taking place in November 1997.
The SHOWTIME action doesn't stop there as the vacant WBA Lightweight World Championship will be on the line when Richar Abril and Sharif "The Lion" Bogere square off in the co-main event which was originally scheduled for November, but was postponed when Bogere suffered an ankle injury. Opening the broadcast will be unbeaten featherweight phenom Gary Russell Jr. against Russia's Vyacheslav Gusevin a 10-round featherweight bout.
"There's nothing like boxing's Mexico vs. Puerto Rico rivalry and this fight between Ponce De Leon and Velez is going to be explosive from start to finish," said Oscar De La Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions. "New York City is the perfect location for this event and we can't wait to have our first show at the historic Apollo Theater."
"This will be a great fight once again the classic battle between Puerto Rico and Mexico," said Miguel Cotto. "Jayson is ready to take the challenge and fight for the world title. Puerto Rico will have a new world champion on March 2."
"This is a fight we've been waiting a long time for and my first defense is just around the corner," said Ponce De Leon. "I feel better prepared than when I won the title against Jhonny Gonzalez. I'm sure I'll win and will be world champion for a long time. I'm focused on the fight. I'm not bothered or uncomfortable fighting outside of my own backyard. To the contrary, it motivates me to fight better."
"I've been training really hard and am focused for this fight," said Velez. "Winning a belt has been the goal my whole life. Everything in camp is going as we planned and I can't wait to be in the ring on March 2."
"On March 2, SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING will give boxing fans another action-packed card featuring a line-up of pressure fighters who almost never take a step back," said Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President and General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports. "With two world title fights at the legendary Apollo Theater, this event promises entertaining action from start to finish."
Ponce De Leon vs. Velez, a 12-round fight for Ponce De Leon's WBC Featherweight World Championship, is presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Miguel Cotto Promotions and sponsored by Corona. In the co-featured attractions on SHOWTIME, WBA Interim Lightweight World Champion Richar Abril squares off against WBA number three rated lightweight contender Sharif Bogere for the vacant WBA Lightweight World Championship and featherweight contender Gary Russell Jr. faces Russia's Vyacheslav Gusev in a ten-round featherweight bout. The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast begins at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast) with preliminary fights to air live on SHOWTIME Extreme at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast).
Tickets, priced at $300, $200, $100, $50 and $25, not including applicable taxes and service charges, go on sale on Tomorrow, Saturday, February 9 at noon ET and will be available for purchase at the Apollo Theater box office, www.ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster locations or by calling 800-745-3000.
Considered by many to be comeback fighter of the year in 2012, former Junior Featherweight World Champion Daniel Ponce De Leon (44-4, 35 KO's) took the long road back to the top, but last year he reaped the fruits of his labor in spectacular fashion. Ponce De Leon had an excellent 2012 during which he knocked out Omar Estrella in January, decisioned Eduardo Lazcano in May and became a two-division world champion on September 15 when he outpointed Jhonny Gonzalez for the WBC Featherweight World Championship. On March 2, his second reign begins as he makes his first defense.
Hailing from Juncos, Puerto Rico, 24-year-old Jayson Velez (20-0, 15 KO's) has a mighty legacy to live up to when it comes to the warriors from the boxing-rich island, but over the course of his five-year career, he's shown the talent and drive to join them. The owner of the WBC USNBC, WBO Latino and WBC Silver Featherweight titles, Velez put on a precision power-punching clinic last December when he stopped Salvador Sanchez in the third round at Madison Square Garden. On March 2, he'll be back in New York in an attempt to earn his first world title.
30-year old Richar Abril (17-3-1, 8 KO's) was fairly unknown outside of hardcore fight circles heading into 2012, but when the Cuba-born resident of Miami, Florida took on highly-touted Brandon Rios for the WBA Lightweight World Championship in April of last year, that status changed over the span of 12 rounds. Though WBA Interim Lightweight World Champion Abril lost a split decision to Rios that night, the boxing media and fans around the world voiced their displeasure, calling it one of the worst decisions ever. On March 2, Abril rightfully gets another shot at the title, this time against Bogere.
Uganda native Sharif "The Lion" Bogere (23-0, 15 KO's) was a five-time African champion in his amateur days and now he's eager to add some professional gold to his trophy case on March 2. An aggressive contender with impressive power, the 24-year old (who now makes his home in Las Vegas) has impressed in his wins over top rising stars Ray Beltran, Francisco Contreras, Sergio Rivera and Manuel Leyva, putting him in prime position for a shot at the world title.
Perhaps the most talented young fighter in the sport today, 24-year-old southpaw Gary Russell Jr. (21-0, 13 KO's) has been showing his stellar boxing skills since his days as an amateur standout. In the fourth year of his professional career in 2012, he began adding power punching into his repertoire with impressive knockouts of Christopher Perez and Roberto Castaneda. On March 2, the Capitol Heights, Maryland resident will look to continue to wow fans in his New York debut in the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING opening fight against Gusev.
Prokopyevsk, Russia's Vyacheslav Gusev (20-2, 5 KO's) is a nine year professional who has started to fulfill his world championship potential in the ring. A decorated competitor with several regional titles to his name, the 26-year-old began making his mark in 2010 as he began a four-fight winning streak that he will bring into the ring with him on March 2. In his most recent fight on April 30, he rose from the canvas to decision Padjai Yongyuthgym and he plans on handing Russell his first defeat at the Apollo.

Jon Hamm's white jacket
Jon Hamm looked like he was in a great mood on the Emmys carpet. Duana would like me to mention that she didn't mind Jennifer Westfeldt's dress. I would like to mention that it looks wrinkled. As for his white tuxedo jacket, Duana noted during the live-blog that she'd prefer if it had matched the shirt. And she's right. The difference in the photos is distracting. It's more yellow than it is champagne. And with the black bow tie and the pants, it almost seems goofy.
You know who would have gotten that right?
Zachary Quinto.
When does he ever get it wrong?
Let's tee up some Zachary Quinto next.

24 10/100/1000Base-T + 4 100/1000Base-T/SFP Combo Ports L2 Management Switch
The DGS-1210 Series Metro Ethernet Switches are a range of switches designed to provide a range of physical interface types, multiple management interfaces, and advanced Layer 2 features. With all of these features combined, the DGS-1210 Series provides a cost-efficient and flexible solution for expanding any business network.
Seamless Integration
The DGS-1210 Series includes a wide range of port and media types, including 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports, 100/1000 Mbps GbE/SFP combo ports, and 100/1000 Mbps SFP ports. The DGS-1210-28 features 4 GbE/SFP combo ports, allowing you to choose the most suitable media type for your requirements.
Advanced Features
The DGS-1210 Series comes equipped with a complete lineup of L2 features, including IGMP snooping, port mirroring, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). The IEEE 802.3x Flow Control function allows servers to directly connect to the switch for fast, reliable data transfers. Network maintenance features include loopback detection and cable diagnostics. Loopback detection significantly speeds up troubleshooting by automatically detecting and shutting down switching loops. The cable diagnostics feature, designed primarily for administrators and customer service representatives, determines the cable quality and quickly discovers errors, allowing for hassle-free diagnostics and maintenance.
Efficient and Resilient Networking
The DGS-1210 Series supports up to 6 kV surge protection on all Ethernet ports, protecting the switch from the damage caused by power surges due to lightning strikes or faulty electrical cabling. The switches also support
802.3ad Link Aggregation, which allows grouping of multiple ports to provide redundancy and load balancing in mission-critical environments. Combined, the two features ensures the reliability of data transmission in your network.
Security & Authentication
The DGS-1210 Series supports Voice VLAN and Auto Surveillance VLAN Mode, which allows voice and video traffic to be automatically identified and handled differently than regular network traffic. Surveillance Mode detects compatible ONVIF cameras and places them in a surveillance VLAN, allowing a single switch to be used for voice, video, and data, removing the need for dedicated hardware and reducing maintenance costs. Surveillance Mode also includes its own Web UI, making surveillance features easily accessible and simplifying management of your surveillance network.
Advanced Access Control
D-Link's innovative Safeguard Engine helps to protect the switches against traffic flooding caused by malicious attacks. DGS-1210 Series supports 802.1X port-based authentication, allowing the clients to be authenticated through external RADIUS servers. The Access Control List (ACL) feature helps to enhance network security and helps to protect the internal IT network. To help prevent ARP spoofing attacks, the switch uses packet control ACLs to block invalid packets that contain fake ARP messages.

I apologize for this, I really do. Just pondering some magi-physics.
- Traditional Summoning (Elendlar) takes and stores the aura of a recently killed fae into a gemstone.
- Nether demons can be sealed into gemstones.
- Demons (Ver'aku, Vel'akar and Shards) exit their bodies when killed, ready to possess a new victim.
- With the death of Sene'kha, a red, tainted aura can be drawn into a sealing stone.
- Of all the deaths of Ver'drowendar, none that I can recall have a nether demon arising from the corpse on their own.
- Ran'diirk's aura, after death, while being bound by Snadhya'rune as a summon, is tainted red.
- Only the Kyorls give a thought about capturing the nether from a dead tainted.
As such, would this be considered appropriate?
- The nether demon attaches to its host's aura permanently, until the aura is fully consumed.
- If the host is killed prior to being consumed, both the demon and the host's aura fade away.
- If so, this would explain why a merged such as Sha'sana does not leave a demon behind. As the aura and demon have become a symbiotic whole, the pair will die together.
Is this crazy? Did I miss anything?

Let's get one thing perfectly clear, you DO NOT invest in print software to run your business as it is today. The whole point of software is to enable you to run your business differently - creating more efficiency.
Production Inkjet—The Next Wave: HP High Definition Nozzle Architecture
As expected, but still exciting to see, another Next Wave production inkjet print technology has been introduced. This one is from HP, and it continues to show that they haven't been sitting idle in the time since we last took a good look at their production inkjet offerings.
Magnum Force
There has been a surge of growth in what are called "large-format wine bottles." Magnums, essentially (or would that be "magna"?), or wine bottles greater than 750ml. Indeed, popular sizes include 1.5 liters, 3 liters, and 6 liters. Now, obviously, some of these are intended for parties and other events with large gatherings, not a quiet romantic dinner for two, lest it descend into drunken anarchy (which depends on your approach to dating, I guess).

Recovery Indicators
Recovery indicators in manufacturing continued to retreat in the ISM manufacturing report, in concert with news earlier this week from the Commerce Department that showed five months consecutive decline for factory orders. Non-manufacturing orders rose slightly, but imports continued to pull back. The ISM new orders for manufacturing and non-manufacturing are still above 50, which indicates future growth, but at a slower rate. The NASDAQ index was up in the last month, but is still lower than it was two months ago. Trading has been choppy, which sometimes is indicative of a developing turning point. The one bright spot in the report is a measure of small business, proprietors income, upbeat news in an otherwise tough month.
Web-to-Print Product Spotlight: MarcomCentral
Twenty years ago when we described the function of marketing we would have started with terms like "creative" and "messaging." Then we would have talked about distribution channels for getting these creative assets and messages out to the target audiences, primarily consisting of print, TV, and radio.
Relevant Regulatory Revisions for 2015
Throughout the years, our printing industry has always faced challenges with meeting regulatory compliance of existing OSHA rules. Now, in 2015, there are new changes that will bring new impacts. Two of the changes discussed below have come about because of revisions to OSHA's record keeping and reporting rules and the third is attached to the recent revision of the Hazard Communication Standard.

Heidelberg's "Vision 2020" Hinges on Growth in Services and Consumables ()
When a business model needs reinvigorating, the first thing to do is to revisit the fundamentals. Heidelberg acknowledges this with "Vision 2020," a strategic redirection that places new emphasis on the non-machinery parts of its portfolio.
What We Mean—and Don't Mean—When We Say, "Sustainable"
Will it surprise anyone to learn that there's no universally accepted definition of "sustainable packaging"? Probably not, but the extent of the confusion raises eyebrows all the same. Readers of Packaging Digest discovered this when they scanned the results of a recent survey by the magazine and the Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC) into what's standing between packagers and their desire to make their products more sustainable.
The Role of the Project Manager in Print Software ()
Every business owner has ideas, plans, and a vision for what they want their company to become. There is never a shortage of ideas; there is a severe lack of execution. Good project management can convert more of your ideas to reality through a disciplined execution process that annoys most people involved (especially impatient, attention deficit prone business owners).
Job Openings Steadily Improving but Have More to Go
The following charts show how job openings have been on a steady rise since the beginning of the recovery in mid-2009, and have now passed the recent peak when the recession began at the end of 2007. But that was a long time ago, and population has grown since that time. The 2000s have a long way to go to catch up with population-adjusted job openings since the turn of the century.
Trends to Watch in 2015: The Domination of Mobile Technology ()
PCs are expected to become secondary to smartphones and tablets for a significant share of consumers. This trend is driving marketers to focus on mobile application development. This article is the second in a series exploring trends worth watching in the printing industry.
Your Niche Or Mine? ()
How do you decide what kinds of wide-format or specialty printing products and services to add to your current mix? You can jump into a new niche application as a newbie, or organically expand into new directions. As it turns out, there is no right answer—but plenty of wrong ones.
Retail Trends in Wide Format
I was talking with the owner of a sign shop recently, and we got to talking about new technologies that sign and display companies were starting to utilize—I was thinking specifically of EFI's SmartSign Analytics—but he happened to mention other new technologies such as "smart fitting rooms" whereby sensors in a clothing retailer's fitting room mirror track RFID tags on the clothing you brought in to try on and suggests accessories or complementary items. Sound creepy? It does a bit, doesn't it?
Table Service at McDonald's
The dining experience at fast food restaurants isn't about the dining experience at all. It's about the price, the availability, and the consistency no matter where you are in the world.

The American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) has done a nice job of consumer outreach with PaperRecycles.org, a new web site that aims at better educating the public about recovering paper and paper-based packaging for recycling.
Focus on Solutions in Print Software
Frustration happens, especially with print software projects like Print MIS and web-to-print. When frustration happens do you flex, adjust, look for a solution or do you stay in that frustrated state? Find evidence of the behavior you want more of and reward that behavior, in your people, in your vendors, in your partners – that will accomplish more than yelling, escalating, and threatening will ever do.

Full Time Employment Still Not Recovered
The number of workers with full time jobs has still not exceeded levels at the start of the recession about seven years ago. This is despite continuous population growth and higher GDP levels for 21 of the last 22 quarters. Of last year's +2.2 million increase in employment, about 970,000 were part time positions. Many part time positions are by choice of the employee, an unknown number may be from distortions resulting from the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, and others are from uneven economic conditions and low expectations about future business conditions. There is some employment optimism in recent surveys of the National Federation of Independent Business and both the manufacturing and non-manufacturing surveys of the Institute for Supply Management.
What Is Wide-Format?
As I was planning the 2015 editorial calendar for our Wide-Format section, I began by drawing up a list of topics that I had covered, topics that were heavily featured at trade shows like SGIA and ISA, and topics tend to get covered elsewhere in the industry press. And aside from the basic technological topics like "Roll-to-Roll Printers," "Flatbeds," "Finishing," and so forth, the majority of the subject matter was on specific applications—and applications that were all over the map (and some even included maps!).

The False Security of the Print Software RFP ()

Federal Debt as Percentage of GDP Over 100%
Economic press coverage of the Federal budget is usually limited to the annual deficit, the shortfall of tax and fee collections versus spending. While the deficit as a percentage of GDP is down to about -4% from 2009 when it was more than -9%, the deficits do accumulate. Now, the total debt of the US exceeds GDP. This is likely to keep political pressure on the Fed to keep rates down. It also means that a 1 percentage point rise in interest rates would cost $180 billion and can double the annual deficit. But the Fed may not be able to increase interest rates when they want to no how hard they might try. International rates, such as those in Germany, have recently been below 0.5% for the 10 year bond. US rates are comparatively high in the 2% range, and any push upward by the Fed would probably be met by arbitrage actions in the other direction.
2015 Should Be Chock-a-Block with Opportunity for Packagers, Market Watchers Say
The end of the year always brings a flurry of state-of-the-market reports from research organizations and commentators tracking the global packaging industry. Here are pulls from some of the year-end pronouncements for 2014 that we gathered last month. They tell us that despite the unpredictability that always has to be factored into forecasts like these, 2015 is shaping up to be a promising year for the world's packaging printers and converters.
Wide-Format Roll-to-Roll Printer Roundup
In today's wide-format market, flatbed printers are all the rage and, for certain applications, deservedly so. But the earliest wide-format printers were all rollfed (or roll-to-roll) devices, and it wasn't until the early 2000s that flatbeds existed as a product category. Flatbeds emerged to take time and materials out of the "print-then-mount" process; after all, why not just print directly on the surface you want the graphic?

Millions of people all around the world trace their roots to the territory of present-day Poland. Their ancestors might have been of Polish, German, Jewish, Ruthenian or other ethnic backgrounds and they might have belonged to the Roman Catholic, Greek Catholic, Lutheran, Orthodox, Calvinist or Mennonite Churches, or professed Judaism. This guide is designed for helping their descendants in researching their family's history dating back to different times and places in contemporary Poland.
Although my own family research has focused mainly on the region of Wielkopolska (Greater Poland - formerly Provinz Posen), my pages deal with genealogical problems pertaining to all former and present provinces of Poland. I hope my guide will be equally beneficial to other researchers whose ancestors originated from all those territories. In particular this guide also includes valuable information for the descendants of the Germans who also inhabited the Prussian provinces taken over by Poland after WWII.
As this guide contains a compendium of information, I decided to group it into the following subjects:
Mr. Tom Wodzinski from Canberra, Australia has prepared a comprehensive listing of Internet resources and other information (important books, addresses of archives, genealogical societies, bookstores etc.) that might be very useful to everybody interested in genealogy research concerning Poland.
Its HTML version is available in the following blocks:
I recommend an interesting story written by Kathi White about her experiences in tracing her Polish roots.
I am grateful to Rose Kuntze, Heinz Paryas, Rafal T. Prinke, Pat Smith, Ceil Jensen & Kathi White for their assistance in creating this guide.
And to PolishRoots™ who is hosting this site for us.
This version of the guide was completed in July 2001. Thanks to the help of Mr. Walther Kerner, some pages are also available in German.
