San Diego City Council stalls on electric and gas franchise agreement
The pact is up for negotiation for the first time in 50 years
The next step in proceeding on a valuable and potentially lucrative agreement concerning the use of the city of San Diego’s gas and electric services has been frozen in place after a pair of motions failed during a special meeting Thursday of the San Diego City Council.
With some council members expressing differing goals on what should be required in a new deal, a motion offered by President and Councilwoman Georgette Gómez failed on a 6-3 vote and a subsequent motion introduced by Councilwoman Jennifer Campbell fell short in a 5-4 decision.
For the record:
1:24 p.m. Aug. 12, 2020This story has been updated to show that Vivian Moreno voted no on the second motion. but voted yes on the first motion.
The meeting had been called to give Mayor Kevin Faulconer direction on what kind of terms would be required of prospective companies bidding to win a new franchise agreement with the city.
The stalemate likely means the council will revisit the issue next month, after its one-month summer recess.
Under a franchise agreement, the city allows a utility the exclusive use of public right-of-ways for transmission and distribution, as well as the right to install and maintain wires, poles, power lines, and underground gas and electric lines within San Diego’s city limits.
The agreement has been in place since 1970 but the 50-year deal expires in January. San Diego Gas & Electric is the current holder of both electric and gas franchise agreements.
But city officials have been keen to work out a new deal on more favorable terms by putting the new agreement up for bid.
The city spent nearly $1 million to hire three consultants to analyze what the franchise agreement is worth. Last month, the Walnut Creek-based JVJ Pacific Consulting released a series of recommendations for the city to require from potential bidders.
Among JVJ’s recommendations were a minimum bid of $62 million ($54 million for the electric franchise and $8 million for the natural gas franchise) by a potential winner of the bid and a franchise length of 20 years.
If the city does not receive bids that it considers good enough, JVJ proposes the city should consider running its own gas and electric services, a process known as “municipalization.” The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and the Sacramento Municipal Utilities District, for example, are publicly owned.
JVJ has estimated San Diego’s combined electric and gas franchises are worth roughly $6.4 billion in profit over the course of a 20-year agreement.
Thus far, three companies have expressed interest in competing — SDG&E, Orange County-based Indian Energy and Berkshire Hathaway Energy, a subsidiary of billionaire Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
Under city rules, the mayor makes a recommendation but eventually, the San Diego City Council has the final say on whether to approve any new franchise agreement. A two-thirds supermajority of the council is required.
The motion put forth by Gómez called for making changes to the JVJ recommendations, including having a “10 plus 10” provision built into the 20-year agreement. The revision was designed to give the city an out after 10 years if it were unhappy with the franchisee.
Councilwoman Monica Montgomery called for boosting the $62 million minimum bid five-fold to $310 million.
But there was concern by JVJ’s Howard Golub and some members of the council that raising the minimum bid would scare off potential bidders. Golub also feared the “10 plus 10” plan may unfairly benefit the holder of the current agreement, SDG&E.
“If you’re the incumbent, you don’t have to do that much of an investment,” Golub told the council members, “but if you’re an outside bidder, you have a big upfront investment in the process and I’m just concerned the outside bidders would be discouraged.”
After the Gómez motion failed, Campbell called for adopting the recommendations by JVJ, with some changes. Among them was a guarantee that if the franchise was granted to a company besides SDG&E that “all reasonable efforts” would be made to make sure it hired SDG&E workers and upheld union-negotiated wages and pay raises.
But the motion faltered. Councilman Scott Sherman withdrew support after a rejection of his call that the $62 million minimum include not just cash from the prospective winning bidder but services for things such as undergrounding power lines and construction of electric vehicle charging stations.
Councilwoman Vivian Moreno voted no. Moreno wanted a guarantee that the new agreement would establish a Climate Equity Fund — paid for by the eventual winner — with money specifically earmarked in lower-income communities such as her own to build projects like parks and bike lanes.
With the city attorney’s office raising concerns about designating money to a program not yet in existence, Campbell and the mayor’s office offered language that would “explore and consider” or show a “desire” for the creation of a Climate Equity Fund but Moreno was unmoved.
“That’s my issue,” Moreno said. “I don’t ‘desire,’ I want to create this equity fund and I want it to be part of a franchise fee.”
Councilwoman Barbara Bry voted no on both motions, saying, “I still have serious concerns” about the details of an agreement. “We should take our time, do our due diligence and do everything we can to leverage the city’s bargaining power.”
In an indication of the interest the franchise agreement has generated, more than 80 people took part in the public comment period. Because of COVID-19 precautions, residents made their remarks by phone.
A number of union members who work at SDG&E called in, calling for the council to stick with the utility and sign a 25-year agreement.
“Do not gamble with our union jobs,” said Matthew Fish of IBEW Local 465. “We have enough to worry about already.”
Others called in and supported the “municipalization” option in order for the city to reach its greenhouse gas reduction goals.
“Every year, SDG&E extracts well over $300 million from the people of San Diego that we could most definitely use to lower our rates and take care of each other,” said Shauna McKenna.
The local law firm of Aguirre & Severson last week filed a lawsuit on behalf of six utility customers alleging a recent meeting by the city council’s Environment Committee that moved the franchise proposal onto the council violated the state’s open meetings law.
The firm filed a second lawsuit against the city in superior court Thursday, alleging the city has “unlawfully delayed” producing public records concerning communications between the city and SDG&E.

KHARTOUM (Reuters) – Sudan’s ruling army council and a coalition of opposition and protest teams have agreed to share energy for 3 years after which maintain elections, in a deal that introduced hundreds of individuals onto the streets to have a good time.
The deal has revived hopes for a peaceable transition of energy in a nation affected by inner conflicts and a deepening financial disaster within the wake of practically three many years of rule by Omar al-Bashir, who was ousted in April.
Relations between the army council that took over from Bashir and protest teams broke down when safety forces killed dozens of individuals holding a sit-in on June three. However African mediators brokered a return to direct talks following enormous protests towards the army on Sunday.
After a second straight day of discussions, the 2 sides agreed within the early hours of Friday to “set up a sovereign council by rotation between the army and civilians for a interval of three years or barely extra,” African Union mediator Mohamed Hassan Lebatt advised reporters.
The primary 21 months might be led by the army and the ultimate 18 months by civilians, based on a press release from the Sudanese Professionals Affiliation (SPA), which has spearheaded the protests.
It mentioned the sovereign council would come with 5 army figures and 5 civilians, with an extra member agreed by the 2 sides.
The deal additionally contains the formation of an unbiased technocratic authorities and a clear, unbiased investigation into violent occasions in current weeks.
The perimeters agreed to postpone the institution of a legislative council. They’d beforehand mentioned the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC) coalition would take two-thirds of a legislative council’s seats, earlier than safety forces crushed the sit-in outdoors Khartoum’s Defence Ministry on June three.
The streets of Omdurman, Khartoum’s twin metropolis throughout the Nile River, erupted in celebration when the information broke, a Reuters witness mentioned. Hundreds of individuals of all ages took to the streets, chanting “Civilian! Civilian! Civilian!”
Younger males banged drums, folks honked their automobile horns, and girls carrying Sudanese flags ululated in jubilation.
“This settlement opens the best way for the formation of the establishments of the transitional authority, and we hope that that is the start of a brand new period,” mentioned Omar al-Degair, a frontrunner of the FFC.
The celebrations continued in Khartoum and Omdurman on Friday morning.
“We now have gained a victory towards injustice,” mentioned Shihab Salah, a 23-year-old unemployed engineering graduate carrying a nationwide flag. “Our aim is to realize freedom and justice and to seek out jobs for younger folks. Civilian rule and democracy are the way forward for Sudan.”
Bashir was ousted after 16 weeks of protests triggered by a deepening financial disaster that continues to be unresolved.
“We would like circumstances to enhance after this settlement as a result of we’re uninterested in excessive price of costs, medical remedy and training. We would like a greater life,” mentioned 54-year-old vegetable vendor Abdullah Saleh.
Basic Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, the army council’s most outstanding member and the top of the paramilitary Fast Help Forces (RSF), was amongst these asserting the deal.
“We want to reassure all political forces, armed actions and all those that participated within the change from younger women and men … that this settlement might be complete and won’t exclude anybody,” mentioned Dagalo, who’s extensively generally known as Hemedti.
The FFC accuse the RSF of main the operation to crush final month’s sit-in. Opposition medics say greater than 100 folks had been killed within the dispersal and subsequent violence. The federal government put the dying toll at 62.
Stability in Sudan, a gateway into Africa from the Center East, is seen as very important in a unstable area, and international powers together with rich Gulf Arab states have been vying for affect within the nation of 40 million.

Monster (NYSE: MWW) and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel today announced a renewed alliance to offer local recruitment content, career services and talent management solutions as pioneered by Monster through the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Recruitment Team and JSOnline.com.
“Our recent merger with the former E.W. Scripps newspapers reintroduced us to the power of the Monster brand,” said Dani Longoria, VP of Advertising, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and National Media Director, Journal Media Group. “Those publications have consistently led our industry by providing innovative recruitment solutions and dependable growth as they effectively connected job seekers with the right positions. Once we saw the leadership that our new partner papers enjoyed in the recruitment space within their respective markets – we were convinced we should bring Monster back to Milwaukee.”
Monster Worldwide and the former Journal Sentinel Inc. originally engaged in a strategic agreement in 2007, the contract expired after five years when the former entity developed and launched standalone, homegrown solutions for recruitment products. After EW Scripps Media merged with Journal Communications in 2014 to create the Journal Media Group, (NYSE: JMG) which manages Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel quickly reconnected the successful solutions provided by Monster that were already at work within JMG’s newspaper divisions.
“Milwaukee Journal Sentinel readers will again experience the capabilities of Monster and reaching audiences where they already are,” said Mark Charnock, Senior Vice President of Media, Agency and Newspaper at Monster. “By providing a robust recruitment product portfolio to employers in the Milwaukee market, including match solutions, social recruitment and sourcing solutions, our combined presence in the market will mean an unparalleled reach in the market through sources they already work with and trust.”
As one of the most visited sites on the web, Monster continues to be the best place to find Milwaukee’s top talent, with an estimated reach of over half the local market between Monster and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel brands. Additionally, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel readership is over 769,000 weekly and over 270,000 unique views weekly, making the deal for both brands more local and beneficial.
“Once again, we are thrilled to align with The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel to help job seekers, recruiters, and talent managers gain the most advanced solutions in the market,” said Chris Johnson, Vice President & General Manager of Newspaper Partnerships at Monster. “Our relationships with local media outlets, such as the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, means more talent, more reach and more solutions for all markets as pioneered by Monster for over 20 years, providing a wide arsenal of products and services uniquely designed to help overcome recruiting obstacles for businesses of every size.”
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel customers were notified earlier this summer about the restored relationship, emphasizing new offerings, powerful features and continued dedication for the best and strongest job opportunities. The deal for Monster to return as the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel exclusive local recruitment content and service provider went into effect on July 1, 2015 with various site changes expected throughout the remainder of the year helping deliver a host of award-winning tools.

Ontario Graphite Ltd. receives favourable ruling at Ontario Supreme Court
On Friday Feb 19, 2016 the Superior Court of Justice – Ontario released its ruling in the case of Ontario Graphite Ltd. v. Jerry Janik (“Janik”), Michael Coscia (“Coscia”) and Great Lakes Graphite Inc. The case was heard and ruled on by the Honourable Justice E. Stewart.
Justice Stewart found in favour of Ontario Graphite Ltd., granting an injunction to restrict what was found to be unlawful competition by the defendants, in breach of the contractual non-competition and fiduciary obligations of Janik and Coscia. The Court imposed an injunction restricting Janik and Coscia from working for Great Lakes Graphite (GLK-TSX.V) and from competing with Ontario Graphite anywhere in Canada for a period of 12 months and 6 months respectively.
In addition, Janik was ordered not to directly or indirectly solicit any employee or customer of Ontario Graphite for 12 months from the date of the Order. Janik, Coscia and Great Lakes Graphite were ordered not to directly or indirectly disclose or use any Ontario Graphite confidential information, and restricted from all attempts to solicit any of Ontario Graphite’s investors.
GLK was ordered to provide all such financial and other information relevant to Ontario Graphite’s claims to the Matheson micronization facility forthwith, and to maintain complete and meticulous records of all relevant investment activities, financial expenditures and profits, past, current and present, for production in the continuing action for damages.
Justice Stewart found that GLK employed Janik and Coscia and knowingly disregarded their obligations to OGL all the while raising capital and moving the Matheson plant toward production.
The Court ordered that the trial of the action should proceed on an expedited basis.
Ontario Graphite filed their claim against GLK, Janik and Coscia in May of 2015, the case was argued before the Court in September of 2015 and GLK only disclosed the lawsuit publically as a tertiary element in a press release in January of 2016. In the action, OGL claims damages of more than $6,000,000 from GLK, plus an accounting and disgorgement of the Defendants’ profits.
Ellerton Castor, OGL’s CFO and Chief Administrative Officer, stated, “We are very satisfied to be vindicated by this ruling. It was very disappointing for us to learn that Mr. Janik and Mr. Coscia were surreptitiously working behind the scenes with Great Lakes Graphite, at the same time they were employed by OGL with their full pay and benefits. This all occurred when OGL was working extremely hard to raise capital to move the company into production. Per the ruling we will focus on maximizing recovery of legal fees and damages from GLK. In addition, OGL with be diligent in its efforts to ensure that GLK adheres to the orders issued by Justice Stewart, contravention of which would constitute contempt of court on the parts of Coscia, Janik and GLK.”
Tom Burkett, Ontario Graphite’s CEO, stated, “We are very pleased to have this chapter behind us. We are now focused on moving OGL toward re-commissioning the Kearney Mine and on moving OGL forward for the future. Recently, we have made significant progress in eliminating debt and cleaning up our balance sheet. With the high growth prospects for natural graphite in a wide ranging number of industries like chemical processing, oil & natural gas drilling, Lithium-ion battery markets for electric vehicles and electronics, we believe OGL is poised to be a global leader in the natural Graphite Industry.”
Contrary to a press release issued by GLK, OGL is fully licensed and permitted for its Kearney Mine, and has always included the micronization and purification of its graphite production as an integral part of its strategic plan.
About Ontario Graphite Ltd.
Ontario Graphite Ltd. is a privately owned Canadian mining company committed to the responsible re- commissioning and operation of the Kearney Mine. The Mine, located in Kearney, Ontario, Canada (approximately 250 km north of Toronto), is one of the largest confirmed graphite mineral resource projects in North America and among the largest individual deposits in the world.

Wedbush analysts are cautiously optimistic of Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ:GLUU)’s prospects. As such, they have initiated coverage of the stock with a Neutral rating and $3.30 price target. According to Wedbush, Glu’s future is predicated on the success or failure of its various celebrity-themed games.
For Glu, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood has been a successful celebrity title and the company hopes the strategy can pay off for some more time. As such, Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ:GLUU) is planning to launch more celebrity-based games, including a title about Katy Perry that is pending release.
Because there is no guarantee that any of Glu’s current celebrity-themed games will be successful, Wedbush is advising investors to keep a distance from Glu stock. According to the firm, investors will have the opportunity to buy the stock on the upswing if the pending celebrity releases turn out to be successful. But in case they disappoint, investors can weigh to enter the stock in the dip.
2016 celebrity-based game release
Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ:GLUU) is expected to release a number of celebrity-based games in 2016 to hopfully track the success of KimKardashian: Hollywood. Among the games in the pipeline for 2016 are a game about Kylie and Kendall Jenner, which is slated for late 1Q2016 release and another game about Nikki Minaj game, which is expected to come out in summer. There is also a Britney Spears game for spring release.
Shift in strategy
While Wedbush is recommending that investors keep of Glu until there is visibility into its celebrity-themed games, the firm does acknowledge that the company has a reliable business model. In particular, Wedbush notes that the move by Glu to ditch premium games for free-to-play bodes well for its game business and the fruits of the move are already showing. For example, the company’s topline has expanded in the recent years as it shifts to free-to-play strategy.
Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ:GLUU)’s management recently lowered 2015 non-GAAP revenue forecast to a range of $234.3-$236.3 million, a step-down from $267-$282 million that it previously guided.

Sangrita is a non-alcoholic drink popular in Mexico. It is usually made from a combination of fresh tomato juice, orange juice, lime juice, and chili peppers, and is served either as a shot or on the rocks.
Sangrita has its origins in the state of Jalisco, where it was first created in the 1940s. The original recipe is said to have come from a restaurant called La Cueva del Chango, which is now closed. The name of the drink comes from the Spanish word for blood, which is fitting given the red color of the drink.
Over the years, the recipe for Sangrita has evolved and changed, with different regions of Mexico putting their own twist on the drink. In some parts of the country, Sangrita is made with grapefruit juice instead of orange juice, while others add in additional ingredients like Worcestershire sauce or even beer.

The country’s mobile payment systems have received a boost through the launch of Rwanda Interoperability Solution (RIS), a switch based on Ericsson’s M-Commerce Interconnect solution.
The solution is likely to connect financial and payment services providers thus enabling end-user to enjoy, in real time, a range of digital payments possibilities across all financial platforms.
Ambassador Claver Gatete, Minister of Finance and economic planning during the signing, Minister of Finance and Economic Planning Claver Gatete spoke on the importance of digitizing the financial economy in an increasingly globalized world.
He said, “Mobile payment technology has the potential to advance financial inclusion and help people build savings while giving government, as well as the private sector a more cost-effective, efficient, transparent, and safer means of disbursing and collecting payments. We are happy to be partnering Ericsson on this.”
The seven year agreement will support Rwanda’s vision to create a digital economy and drive greater financial and social inclusion for its society and citizens through the integration of informal sectors such as savings cooperatives and micro finance players in the ecosystem.
The government since 2011 has invested in a national payment system that of electronic transactions in the financial sector but this minister says only provided a solution in the short term.
“Initially it was a solution but at the same time it’s like moving lines from the banking systems to ATM because we didn’t have what they call interoperability,” the Minister added.
Peter Heuman, Vice President and Head of M-Commerce for Ericsson said; “Africa has been a main driver for innovative mobile financial services. This latest agreement represents another step in Ericsson’s commitment to building the necessary global infrastructure for a new open digital economy.
“The work we are doing with the Government and people of Rwanda on this initiative is imperative for the country and region and we look forward to continued collaboration with countries throughout Africa and globally to build upon these important efforts.”
As Rwanda aims to become Africa’s first truly digital economy, clear financial and payment services policies to create a neutral, interoperable and viable market place have been enacted setting the ground for partnerships such as the Ericsson M-Commerce Interconnect to provide seamless financial services.
The government says that the Rwanda Interoperability Switch is expected to be operational by early 2017

Learn about the changes to IRAs, 401(k)s, RMDs, and more
Updated – Jan 20, 2020
The Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019, better known as the SECURE Act, which originally passed the House in July, was approved by the Senate on Dec.19, 2019, as part of an end-of-year appropriations act and accompanying tax measure, and signed into law on Dec. 20 by President Donald Trump. The far-reaching bill includes significant provisions aimed at increasing access to tax-advantaged accounts and preventing older Americans from outliving their assets.
The SECURE Act became law on Dec. 20, 2019.
The SECURE Act will make it easier for small business owners to set up “safe harbor” retirement plans that are less expensive and easier to administer.
Many part-time workers will be eligible to participate in an employer retirement plan.
The Act pushes back the age at which retirement plan participants need to take required minimum distributions (RMDs), from 70½ to 72, and allows traditional IRA owners to keep making contributions indefinitely.
The Act mandates that most non-spouses inheriting IRAs take distributions that end up emptying the account in 10 years.
The Act allows 401(k) plans to offer annuities.
A Troubled Retirement System
That there’s trouble brewing in the U.S. retirement system, which requires most workers to supplement Social Security with personal savings, has been widely acknowledged.
According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics published in 2018, only 55% of the adult population even participate in a workplace retirement plan. And even those who do are often woefully behind when it comes to investing part of their paycheck.
The wealth management giant Vanguard, for instance, revealed early in 2019 that the median 401(k) balance for those ages 65 and older is just $58,035. The SECURE Act aims to encourage employers who have previously shied away from these plans, which can be expensive and difficult to administer, to start offering them.
“With [the] passage of this bill, the House made significant progress in fixing our nation’s retirement crisis and helping workers of all ages save for their futures,” Rep. Richard E. Neal (D-Mass.) said in a statement after the bill sailed through the House in May.
Tangled Up in the Senate
Despite the SECURE Act’s overwhelming support in the House, it didn’t get through the Senate until it was attached to the appropriations and tax-extender bills that passed the day after President Trump was impeached in the House of Representatives.
In early July, PlanAdviser reported that two Republican senators—one of them Ted Cruz (R-Texas)—were holding it up. According to a Washington insider, Cruz was trying to tweak the section on 529 accounts so that parents can use them for home-schooling expenses as well.
In October, PLAN SPONSOR quoted Chris Spence, TIAA’s senior director of government relations, as saying the bill has been sitting “in something like legislative limbo.” Along with Cruz, two other senators—Mike Lee and Pat Toomey—had reservations about some technical points. Spence was optimistic and predicted correctly that the route to passage could be through being attached to a broader bill that has to be passed by the end of 2020.
Major Provisions of the SECURE Act
The SECURE Act tweaks a number of rules related to tax-advantaged retirement accounts. Here’s what it will do:
Make it easier for small businesses to set up 401(k)s by increasing the cap under which they can automatically enroll workers in “safe harbor” retirement plans, from 10% of wages to 15%.
Provide a maximum tax credit of $500 per year to employers who create a 401(k) or SIMPLE IRA plan with automatic enrollment.
Enable businesses to sign up part-time employees who work either 1,000 hours throughout the year or have three consecutive years with 500 hours of service.
Encourage plan sponsors to include annuities as an option in workplace plans by reducing their liability if the insurer cannot meet its financial obligations.
Push back the age at which retirement plan participants need to take required minimum distributions (RMDs), from 70½ to 72, for those who are not 70½ by the end of 2019.Allow the use of tax-advantaged 529 accounts for qualified student loan repayments (up to $10,000 annually).
Permit penalty-free withdrawals of $5,000 from 401(k) accounts to defray the costs of having or adopting a child.
Encourage employers to include more annuities in 401(k) plans by removing their fear of legal liability if the annuity provider fails to provide and also not requiring them to choose the lowest-cost plan. (This could be something of a double-edged sword. Employees will need to look extra-carefully as these options.)
One other key change in the new bill is paying for all this: the removal of a provision known as the stretch IRA, which has allowed non-spouses inheriting retirement accounts to stretch out disbursements over their lifetimes. The new rules will require a full payout from the inherited IRA within 10 years of the death of the original account holder, raising an estimated $15.7 billion in additional tax revenue. (This will apply only to heirs of account holders who die starting in 2020.)
Planners Evaluate These Changes
While retirement planner Marguerita Cheng, CEO of Blue Ocean Global Wealth in Gaithersburg, Md., cautions that the bill is far from a cure-all for the nation’s retirement challenges, she says several of the provisions represent a step in the right direction.4
In particular, she notes, reducing the number of hours that employees are required to work in order to sign up for 401(k)s can help expand participation. “That’s helpful for part-time employees, whether they’re just entering the workforce or about to leave,” Cheng says.
And she’s in favor of adding flexibility to 529 accounts, which could be used to repay some student loans under the bill. That’s a good option, she says, for parents who may have funds remaining in an educational savings account and want to help a child who has already graduated. “The SECURE Act provides more flexibility,” says Cheng.
For David Rae, a financial planner based in Los Angeles, moving the starting age for required minimum distributions to 72 also makes sense, given that people are living longer than they did a generation ago. “Pushing back RMDs will help people make their money last just a little bit longer, especially since more of them need to work later,” Rae says.
The Bottom Line
Whether the SECURE Act ends up being a retirement game-changer or not remains to be seen. But one thing is abundantly clear: The current rules aren’t allowing nearly enough Americans to put away the nest egg they’ll ultimately need for a secure retirement.
Stay tuned and remember to rebalance you portfolio at the end of March, June, and September.

Banging on table tops, no subs to toot
He’s playing drumming with his hands on tables, not playing the music out of subwoofers. He had to start over from the most basic forms of music. “Subs to toot” is also made to sound like “substitute,” as in there is no substitute for the most basic, natural forms of music.

After one day of resting my fingers, I’m back to playing the guitar again! Now, when I press, it’s not as painful as before. And even after playing Greensleeves dozens of times, the fingers are still not as pain as before. Good!
Another update– I can almost memorise Greensleeves by now, though I know I must keep practising, or else I can’t expect the songs to come back to me. Those songs I’ve played during my JC days seem quite cleanly forgotten.

We would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
To mark the end of our first term and to celebrate the coming Christmas Holidays, we took a break from our work on Wednesday 21st to enjoy a morning of popcorn, hot chocolate (with marshmallows!!) and a movie.

Please post any GFX back of games in progress you might be working on. I'm trying to break out of my shell, so here's a few pics:
1. Quibble - an isometric snake game. I made a board game of this originally on a small grid where each player places a new segment of snake to try & trap each other.
2. Castle Skull - Dark Castle, Prince-of-Persia-esque game of saving the princess. Remake of an XT game I made in 1990 that absolutely no one has ever seen before (& never will!). It flicks between isometric & platform depending whether you're exploring or fighting.
3. The Dark Moon of Arcalon - Me & Joseph's next platform masterpiece, inspired by Liero's battle mode magic, expanded into a thematic intergalactic fairytale.
4. Velcro Mind - rendered GFX for a remake of Velcro Mind, which Joseph originally made for DOS in 1995.

Yikes, Quibble looks interesting. I didn't imagine it like that. From this mock-up it feels like it could also be quite an adventurey thing -- roaming around collecting fruit until you're long enough to stretch out across wide rivers and gaps to get to new places. (Or to reach up walls if you allow 6 directional movement)
Yeah, TDMA, or DMOA as I like to call it is quite epic, we're trying to simplify it somewhat.
You might have checked out Joseph's version of Velcro Mind by now, but what happens is, the coloured balls get stuck to your bat on the right colour, then you take them to a depot that gets rid of them. aahhm, yeah that's really the crux of it.
I remember playing Velcro Mind in 2000, lots of fun.  Does anyone remember Rush, the best button-masher of all time?  You played multi-player with 2-3 people and just mashed the keyboard hoping to come in first :) .
I also loved space rumble:
Mark -- you did well to find those screenshots on archive.org! Perhaps an ancient games thread is in order.
gnaw -- a whole new dimension, arf arf. Yeah, I'm digging voxels. They're really a pleasure to work with.. it's like rediscovering the joys of low res pixel art all over again, but then being able to construct a really solid 3 dimensional world.
I haven't officially announced Voxatron yet, but here's a couple of screenshots until then. In short, it's an arena shooter which takes place in a virtual scrolling 128x128x64 voxel display. The world is completely malleable at the voxel level, so there is a lot of building and destroying walls (you can't really see it here).

The 16 cm cooking pot with lid from the Spring Finesse collection is the perfect pan for daily use thanks to its design and excellent cooking qualities. With is elegantly shaped stainless steel handles and top-quality base construction the Finesse collection is even more refined. The pans from the Spring Finesse collection are made from stainless steel with an aluminium core and come with a glass lid. It's perfect for cooking vegetables, rice or pasta, or for making sauces and soups. Because of the glass lid you can keep a close eye on the cooking process without having to remove the lid from the pan. The pans from the Spring Finesse collection can be used on all cooking hobs and are oven-safe. The glass lids cannot be used in the oven.
Unique 5-layer construction
The Spring Finesse pans have a five-layer construction that ensures optimal heat conduction. The outer layer is made from 18/0 stainless steel. This type of steel makes the pans suitable for induction. The inner layer is 18/10 stainless steel. The 18 stands for 18% chromium and the 10 stands for 10% nickel. This is an excellent choice in terms of composition, because of chromium's durability and nickel's clarity. There is a 3-layer aluminium core between the inner and outer layers. Because of this structure, heat is evenly distributed from the bottom to the edge of the pan and thus to the contents from all sides. As a result, the food is brought to temperature more evenly. This makes the pans more efficient and more economical.
The measuring scale on the inside of the pans is very practical. For instance, you can use them to monitor the reduction while making sauces. The included lid fits onto the pan perfectly. This makes it possible to cook with a minimal amount of water and to preserve the vitamins and fresh colour of vegetables.
Thanks to the safety glass you can keep an eye on the cooking process without having to lift the lid. For safety, the handle is made of stainless steel. If used correctly the handles of the pan stay cold enough to make sure you don't burn your hands. The pan does need to be used on a suitable gas hob or cooking zone for this to be possible. After use you can clean the pans in the dishwasher.

Are you facing tough financial times? Millions of people across the U.S. are just like you, struggling to make ends meet and finding themselves getting further and further behind on their debt. If you’re like many of these good people, you are feeling stressed, worried and harassed by creditors. There are opportunities under federal bankruptcy laws to finally get crushing debt resolved. A bankruptcy attorney from Price Law Group is ready to help you eliminate your debt.
California was one of the states that were hit the hardest after the 2008 financial crisis. The housing market took a dive, making many people’s homes worth less than they bought them for. Thousands of people could no longer afford their mortgage payments. This vicious economic crisis caused a domino effect that resulted in many Americans losing their jobs or having their wages drastically cut down.
Seventy-four percent of all bankruptcies that were filed in California last year were Chapter 7, while the other Twenty-six percent were Chapter 13. The total amount of bankruptcy filings for the year 2011 totaled 234,443. This put California as the state with the sixth highest amount of filings per capita. Although this is still relatively high, California was able to see an eight percent decline in the total amount of filings compared to the previous year.
Many people who are in debt would be surprised to know that there are actually many alternatives to bankruptcy. For example, you may be eligible for a loan modification. A loan, or mortgage, modification is exactly as it sounds. Those people who can no longer afford to make house payments may be able to modify their loan to reduce their payments to a manageable amount. There are varying types of modification, depending on need. One way is to get your interest rate reduced or changed to a fixed rate. Many people who have floating interest rates (variable rates) get caught off guard by changes in the amount of payment that is due.
You may even be able to get the principle reduced. Loan modification is one way that individuals and families can avoid foreclosure. When you can no longer afford to make payments on your home and you are notified by your mortgage lender that your home is being placed on a short sale list, you will likely want to do whatever it takes to avoid this process. Foreclosure prevention can take many different forms, one of which is loan modification. For those who are not able to obtain a loan modification, they may need to consider filing for Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcies, so that they can keep their home.
Under the United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4, Congress is given the authority to enact bankruptcy laws throughout all states in the U.S. Bankruptcy then is a federal matter although certain requirements and protections differ from state to state. Overall, when there is a rule or a change to bankruptcy code, that change affects all states. For example in 2005, President George W. Bush enacted the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act. The original intent of this law was to protect all citizens from the abuse of the system of bankruptcy, which adversely made it more difficult to file. There can be little no error found in the paperwork and in some cases it can be more difficult to qualify. Many other factors, including this one, are reasons for seeking legal representation when it comes to debt resolution. It is overwhelming to wade through bankruptcy law on one’s own.
Many people want to avoid the thought of filing for bankruptcy because the process comes with many stigmas. First of all, you might believe that it will be impossible to repair your credit after filing. Credit repair is actually fairly simple. Chances are, if you are in debt, your credit score is less than ideal anyway. Although filing for bankruptcy will appear on your credit report, good spending habits can quickly amount to a repair of your credit. A bankruptcy in the long run, could actually help you repair your credit score quicker because you will actually be able to afford your payments and pay them on time. Failing to do so, is what causes the most damage to your credit score.
While you are in the process of bankruptcy, creditor abuse will not be tolerated. No one should be stalked, scrutinized or harassed by creditors. The legal team at Price Law Group will defend your constitution rights and put an end to creditor harassment. Life after bankruptcy will likely leave you free from constant badgering from collection agencies. A clean slate will also mean that you can pay your debts, so if you became the victim of wage garnishment prior to bankruptcy, you have the freedom to avoid repeating this process. You can take away life lessons from this process, remember what harmed you and choose to practice smart spending habits so that your second chance will not be in vain.
Price Law Group has a strong reputation for skill and trustworthiness when it comes to helping clients. They offer a free initial consultation in order to discuss your specific financial circumstances and then help you decide on the right steps to take. They will listen to your questions, concerns and objectives and then help you turn your goals into a reality.

Having an assertive legal advocate on your side will greatly benefit your case, it is always nice to have someone watching your back so you don’t have to.

TV weather forecasters aren't always climate change experts. But they are often responsible for informing the public about climate change impacts in real time, so it's important that they accurately reflect the science.
Fortunately, a new survey from George Mason University provides some hope in that regard. It found that more than nine out of ten broadcast meteorologists acknowledge that climate change is happening, and about two-thirds say human activities play a significant role.
This represents notable progress from George Mason's 2010 survey, when 27 percent of weather forecasters shockingly agreed that “global warming is a scam.”
Most weathercasters now recognize that climate change has and will continue to impact the weather in their area, with rising temperatures and extreme weather events like heat waves and heavy storms.
And importantly, they feel it is appropriate to convey the science of climate change to their audiences.
So why are weathercasters coming around on climate change?
Following the last survey, a grassroots non-profit organization called Forecast the Facts launched a campaign calling on TV meteorologists to “report the facts about climate change” and drawing attention to those who weren't.
Now, most TV forecasters say they have read findings from the National Climate Assessment, a report by the U.S. government to inform Americans about the climate change impacts already occurring all across the country.
And almost a quarter of them are enrolled in Climate Matters, a Climate Central program affiliated with NASA, NOAA, and other major institutions that provides TV forecasters with local climate analyses, broadcast-ready visuals, and other materials to keep them up-to-date on the latest climate-related news and research.
But while more and more meteorologists are accepting climate science, the forecasters at Fox News are still casting doubt and denial.
Fox News' senior meteorologist, Janice Dean, claims that “anything past a five day forecast is impossible to predict,” and that “we're not going to be able to prove climate change for decades, even centuries.”
And then there's the other Fox News favorite: Weatherbell Analytics Chief Forecaster Joe Bastardi. The network often turns to Bastardi for climate commentary, providing him a forum to spout anti-science denial, like his claims that man-made climate change is “an obvious fraud” and that the human contribution to carbon dioxide levels is too “tiny” to cause warming. Fox hosts Bill O'Reilly and Neil Cavuto have both admitted that Bastardi is -- in O'Reilly's words -- a “climate change denier,” and yet they and their Fox News colleagues keep hosting him time and time again.
As the nation's meteorologists continue to educate themselves about climate science, it looks like Fox News' forecasts will remain misleading with a strong chance of denial.

Paul Levine’s latest thriller is more roller coaster suspense and action than courtroom drama, and I had a blast with the characters and plot. With this novel, Levine just throws his previous playbook out the window, pulls a page from Raymond Chandler’s “The Simple Art Of Murder,” and plunges his readers through ranks of gunmen, car chases, and crooked cops.
I absolutely fell in love with Jimmy “Royal” Payne as he makes a complete wreck of his life, then struggles to put to rights the life of a twelve-year-old boy who won me over, too. When I found out that Payne is the author’s new signature character and that a second book is already in the works, I was a happy reader.
Jimmy is a fantastic character. In this first book, he starts out so close to the bottom that anything he does is going to show as character growth. I kept picturing a young Richard Dreyfuss playing the lead, and I think that’s a good fit. Jimmy has been hammered at every turn by life, and in the opening chapters of this book he gets blackmailed into bribing a judge, which results in even harsher circumstances.
Watching Jimmy in action is kind of like seeing a chain reaction car wreck taking place in slow motion. You see it; you know it’s coming; and you can’t believe the guy can’t get out of the way of it. But, miraculously, Jimmy is the kind of guy who racks up a lot of damage and still manages to limp through by sheer force of will, cleverness, and desperation. I’m a sucker for those kinds of characters every time, and it stands to reason that Jimmy’s favorite fictional hero is Jim Rockford of The Rockford Files. Rockford is one of my favorites as well.
After Jimmy puts his life and career in the toilet at the beginning of this novel, things get even more interesting. A 12-year-old illegal named Tino comes looking for him after getting separated from his mother during a border crossing. Jimmy’s work to get some illegals their paperwork only a short time ago has made him a hero down in Mexico. But after Tino breaks into Jimmy’s office and steals money that Jimmy has stolen to get a cop in trouble, neither one of them are exactly enchanted with the other.
However, they need each other to escape from the police. It’s this forced symbiosis, this artificial father/son relationship, that takes shape during the course of this novel that is the heart and soul of the story. No matter what they do, they can’t escape each other. Especially after Jimmy’s ex-wife, whom he’s still in love with, forces them to work together to try to find Marisol, Tino’s missing mom.
The novel takes a little bit of time setting up all the characters at the beginning. But once the road trip begins, Levine drives the plot full tilt, like an eighteen-wheeler that’s just blown the brakeline on a downhill run. I couldn’t put the novel down, and I’m betting that any reader who picks it up won’t be able to either.
Levine deals with the illegal immigration and employee problems with honesty and presents both sides. But that’s a small part of the entertainment he offers. I never got the impression that this was a politically based book. Levine just uses the California/Mexico situation as a great backdrop to the simple father/son redemption story he wants to tell. I can’t wait till the second one.Powered by Sidelines


The UAE’s long-time de facto ruler Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan was named as president on Saturday, confirming his rise to power a day after the death of former leader Sheikh Khalifa.
The 61-year-old, who has run the oil-rich Gulf state from behind the scenes since his half-brother was sidelined by ill health in 2014, was “unanimously elected” by rulers of the country’s seven emirates, the official WAM news agency said.
His ascension was widely expected. It came after he led funeral prayers and helped carry the body of Sheikh Khalifa, 73, who was buried at Abu Dhabi’s Al Bateen cemetery after a simple ceremony on Friday.
Sheikh Mohamed now takes formal control of the desert country of 10 million – most of them expatriates – whose profile has been steadily rising.
He also succeeded Sheikh Khalifa as ruler of Abu Dhabi, which sits on 90 percent of the United Arab Emirates’ oil wealth.
US President Joe Biden congratulated his “long-time friend” and Russian President Vladimir Putin also welcomed his appointment. Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, who visited the UAE in March, sent a gushing tribute.
Under the low-key direction of Sheikh Mohamed, the third son of founding president Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the UAE has put a man into space, sent a probe to Mars and opened its first nuclear reactor, while using its oil-funded clout to develop a more assertive foreign policy.
Closely allied with Saudi Arabia, it has emerged as a leader of a reshaped Middle East since the retreat of traditional Arab powers and the reduced involvement of the United States, forging ties with Israel and joining a Saudi-led war against Iran-backed militants in Yemen.

When there’s leftover meat in the fridge, but no plan written down, curry is my go to meal. Whether it’s Indian, Thai or otherwise, curry is almost always the answer. My recipe for Leftover Chicken Laksa stays within that pseudo-tradition, transforming cold meat into something worth devouring.
Tom Kha Gai – literally, Chicken Galangal Soup – is a coconut-based Thai soup famed for its subtle sweet and sour flavour profile. Though usually eaten as a curry – spooned onto rice – tom kha gai also works well as a noodle soup; the form it takes in the recipe below.
As far as root vegetables go, celeriac performs rather admirably as a base ingredient for soup – its creamy texture makes for a very satisfying spoonful, while its strong flavour pairs favourably with all manner of foods. The robust flavourings of Thai cuisine, in particular, combine remarkably well with this enlarged hypocotyl (celeriac isn’t actually a root, though it does have them) – hence this particular recipe.
Fish is something only very rarely eaten in our house. One reason for this is because it tends to be relatively expensive. However, one must remember that there are always cheap ways of eating most things (see my advice section). For instance, if one is looking for a fillet of succulent white fish, why not use coley instead of cod? There is always a reasonably priced alternative to that which is most in vogue. Trout is much cheaper than salmon and one must never forget the varieties that most don’t like the look of, such as gurnard. Remember, in the world of fish, it doesn’t have to look good to taste good; use the misplaced shallowness of other’s to your advantage.
Asparagus is probably the most popular spring-time vegetable. However, as one might imagine, there are other vegetables coming into season at this time of the year. After all, we don’t live exclusively on asparagus in the way that the Irish in the nineteenth-century lived, almost comically so, on a diet composed almost entirely of potatoes. The subject of this post, purple sprouting broccoli, is one of the most interesting of the current seasonal treats. This rather attractive vegetable, or brassica to be more precise, is beautiful both inside and out. In my opinion, purple sprouting broccoli is a far more interesting ingredient than asparagus in both its taste and appearance. This variety of broccoli is also, as it happens, far cheaper than asparagus. Indeed, it works out at a little less than half the price.

Tseng Wen-ding's put-back basket with one second remaining was the difference in the game as Taiwan's Super Basketball League champs, the Yulon Dinos, beat the Osaka Evessa of Japan 86-84 in the final game of the preliminary round of the 2006 Hualien Probation Basketball Invitational Tournament Saturday to qualify for the championship game against South Korea.
It was only three weeks ago that Tseng's teammate Chou Hong-yu tapped back a missed shot from Tseng in similar fashion to score the title-clinching basket in Game 5 of the SBL finals to give the Dinos their third straight league title.
"Now I know what it [tapping back the game-winner] feels like," Tseng said after the game.
Chen "Airman" Hsin-an also drained nine three-pointers on a game-high 38-point effort to go along with Tseng's 22, to account for nearly 70 percent of the Dinos' total offense in the game.
The dynamic tandem worked the inside-outside attack for Yulon to perfection, with Tseng gaining a size advantage over his Japanese rivals down below, while Chen's deadly shooting from the long range kept the defenders from sagging inside to help defend against Tseng.
After Chen's ninth three-pointer in the game that put the Dinos ahead 84-81 with 16.4 seconds remaining, the Evessa's Matt Lottich (of the US) answered with a three of his own with 9.2 seconds on the clock, setting the stage for Tseng's late-game heroics.
Antelopes 89, Taiwan Beer 86
The ETTV Antelopes won their second game of the preliminary round Saturday by clipping Taiwan Beer in a 89-86 final to secure a chance to play Team Japan for the third-place finish.
Point man Chen Shih-nian for Taiwan Beer received minimal support from a starting lineup that did not include three of Taiwan Beer's regular starters Ho Sho-cheng, Lin "The Beast" Chih-jeh, and Ha Hsiao-yuan because of injuries as the brew crew fell for the second time to end the preliminary round with a 2-2 record.
Chen Shih-nian had a chance to force a tie with a long three in the closing seconds of the contest, but the shot fell way short of the basket for an air ball.
South Korea 96, Philippines 80
South Korea cruised its way into the championship game with a 4-0 mark in Group A's preliminary round action by topping Team Philippines 96-80.
The squad from the Kyong Hee University held a flat Filipino team to 43 points for the first three quarters to take a 69-43 leading, making the final quarter a mere matter of formality.
Team Japan 119, Tigers 97
Playing its second game of the day, Team Japan scored a huge victory over the Dacin Tigers in a 119-97 final that featured two technical fouls on Lynn Washington and a unsportsmanlike conduct foul by the Tigers' Lin Yi-hui in a hot-tempered affair.
The absence of top Tigers scorer Tien Lei because of injury disappointed many of the Tigers fans on hand who had traveled to Hualien to see their idol up close, as the SBL's season MVP sat out the tournament to nurse an injury that he sustained in late April.
Hunters 83, Bank of Taiwan 80
The Videoland Hunters collected their first win of the tournament with a narrow 83-80 triumph over Bank of Taiwan.
It took 30 fourth-quarter points by the Hunters to overcome a 55-53 deficit after three quarters of play for the hard-fought win.

Download Principles of Balanced Anesthesia
Document related concepts
Principles of Balanced Anesthesia Balanced anesthesia allows us to minimize patient risk and maximize patient comfort and safety. The objectives of balanced anesthesia are to calm the patient, minimize pain, and reduce the potential for adverse effects associated with analgesic and anesthetic agents. Calming the patient is important to allow for ease in handling and to decrease the amount of stress in the patient. As we know, stress can cause tachycardia, tachypnoea, hypertension, and other consequences of catecholamine release. These can all be detrimental to the anesthetized patient. Stress and anxiety contribute to the nociceptive pain process. Some examples of medications that calm the patient are acepromazine, diazepam or midazolam, and medetomidine. Pain is associated with both elective surgery and trauma. In people, especially pediatric patients, pain has been shown to delay healing, decrease appetite, and contribute to mortality. The best way to control pain is to stop it before it starts. Proper analgesics can also aid in calming the patient, and in decreasing the need for higher doses of inhalant anesthetics. Some examples of analgesics are opioids (such as morphine, buprenorphine, butorphenol, and fentanyl); NSAIDS (such as carprofen, meloxicam, and ketoprofen); local anesthetics (such as lidocaine, and bupivacaine); and NDMA receptor antagonists (ketamine). All drugs have the potential to adversely affect the patient. Some of the most profound negative effects of anesthesia are caused by inhalant anesthetics. While these drugs generally have a high margin of safety and are very useful, their doses, and as such the tendency for adverse effects, can be drastically reduced with the proper use of calming agents and analgesics. The best approach to a balanced protocol involves individual assessment of the patient and the procedure in order to plan the anesthetic event. Almost all patients should be premedicated with an analgesic +/- a tranquilizer. An appropriate induction agent should be selected to rapidly induce anesthesia and allow rapid intubation. Then maintenance can be achieved with an inhalant. Maintenance can also be achieved with CRIs of some drugs (i.e. propofol), but that is usually reserved for special circumstances.
