NextEra and Southern Company Rank as Largest Solar Owners Outside China
The global solar market is growing rapidly but remains highly fragmented, Wood Mackenzie says.

Big solar asset sales are becoming increasingly common.
NextEra Energy is the largest owner of solar PV capacity outside China, in a "highly fragmented" global market, according to a new ranking from Wood Mackenzie.
NextEra has long dominated the U.S. wind market, where its 15-gigawatt base of installed capacity is nearly twice the size of No. 2 Berkshire Hathaway Energy's wind fleet. But unlike some of the other big U.S. wind developers, NextEra has pivoted aggressively toward solar in recent years, taking advantage of the falling cost of PV and the solar industry's favorable incentive treatment compared to wind.
NextEra now owns nearly 4.4 gigawatts of solar capacity, more than any other operator outside China, Wood Mackenzie says.
NextEra's early and hugely successful push into renewables has helped it become the largest U.S. electric utility by market capitalization, its $112 billion valuation now overshadowing peers like Duke Energy, Dominion Resources and Southern Company.
But those other utilities are also investing heavily in renewables, and WoodMac ranks Atlanta-based Southern Company as the second-largest owner of solar capacity outside China, with 2.6 gigawatts to its name.
Southern Company owns renewables plants both through its regulated utilities and its unregulated generation arm, Southern Power.
Third on WoodMac's solar-ownership ranking is India's Acme Group, at 2.3 gigawatts, followed closely by the 2.2 gigawatts owned by Italy's Enel Green Power — the only Europe-based company in the top 10. More than 80 percent of Enel Green Power's solar capacity is located in the Americas.
Another Indian player, Adani, made the list with 1.9 gigawatts of capacity.
All told, the top 10 owners account for less than 7 percent of total capacity in the market, said Wood Mackenzie solar analyst Rishab Shrestha. "Fragmentation will continue as barriers to entry remain low and annual solar installations continue to grow."
In the U.S. — the second-largest solar market outside China — independent generators, and particularly those affiliated with larger utility groups, tend to be the largest solar owners. Institutional investors play a larger role in Europe, though the evolution of the market toward riskier merchant deals could change that.
"Such assets may be less attractive to risk-averse institutional investors," noted senior analyst Tom Heggarty. "We could see a greater role for large utilities, which will be more comfortable with exposure to wholesale power price risks."
As the global solar market matures, it is seeing more big asset sales, with nearly 22 gigawatts changing hands last year, WoodMac said.

Trumpcare is bad medicine for the economy
Chillicothe-Unknown
To reward their wealthy contributors and stave off challenges from their angry rightwing, House Republicans finally adopted a healthcare plan to "repeal and replace Obamacare." Republicans are caught between a rock and a hard place. Ever since Democrats — led by President Obama — adopted the Affordable Care Act in 2009, the Republicans have vilified the ACA and President Obama and pledged to get rid of it, replacing it with one that was better for the American people.
Their problem is, the ACA is itself really a Republican plan, based on one adopted in Massachusetts and signed by then-Republican Governor Mitt Romney. It enshrined the system of for-profit, business-run healthcare and required everyone to participate, one way or another, or pay a tax. This mandatory provision is, of course, necessary, to fund any comprehensive plan. Polls showed most Americans really wanted some kind of Medicare-for-all plan, run by government.
But the ACA has many good features which most people like, so Republicans can't just repeal it. For one thing, it guarantees for the first time that all Americans have the right to be ensured regardless of any pre-existing conditions they may have. It also prevents insurers from setting lifetime limits on people's coverage. It helped states fund an extension of Medicaid benefits to millions.
So, House Republicans came up with their own health care bill which they say is way better than Obama's ACA. They've even given it a deceptively similar name — the American Health Care Act, or AHCA. It's worth noting that many misinformed people said they supported the ACA but disliked Obamacare.
But Republicans are either pretending or they haven't read their bill. It's not better, it's way worse. The Economic Policy Institute has estimated that 24 million Americans would lose their health care coverage under the Republican plan.
Less understood is that Trumpcare would also hurt the economy. We have to remember that if we force poorer people to pay more for health care, they have less to spend for everything else. The Economic Policy Institute estimates that 1.8 million jobs would be lost over a six-year period if the Republican plan is adopted — 81,000 in Ohio, with about 9000 of those in the Southern Ohio districts of U.S. Reps. Brad Wenstrup and Steve Stivers.
Republicans argue that since their plan is cheaper, it will save money, people can choose their own plans, or none at all, and that the tax cuts will stimulate the economy. However, people may not be able to afford the available plans. And history is clear that tax cuts for the wealthy don't do much to stimulate the economy. The Republican plan, coupled with their budget plans, would provide hundreds of billions to the wealthy, but lower income people would have to spend more for health care, so have less to spend for everything else. When average people spend less on goods and services, business declines.
To be fair, Democrats can't escape blame in this whole health care mess. First they adopted a plan, that while better than what many Americans had — nothing — it was short of what exists in the rest of the industrial world, and short of what many were advocating, Medicare for All.
Then, many Democrats seemed to run away from the plan they had just adopted. When the Tea Party began talking about "death panels" and such, Democrats were apparently scared off. Nor did they sell the ACA's really good points, such as requiring insurance companies to take everyone, or eliminating lifetime limits.
Running scared is a recipe for defeat in politics, and of course, that's just what happened in recent elections. Somebody needs to call it like it is: The Republican Party is opposed to most forms of government assistance for ordinary Americans, and the Democrats are afraid to say so. The cause of all this is that the wealthy — including health care industries and their leaders — exert controlling influence in the Republican Party and quite a lot in the Democratic Party. It doesn't look like the American people will get the health care they want until they find the politicians or the party that will champion what the people deserve — quality health care for all, at affordable prices.

Q: What (type of) partition is needed to install Fedora alongside Windows I've been trying to install Fedora on my laptop since ... last night.
I tried the instructions from this page.
But I got an error saying

local variable 'e' was referenced before... ( my memory fades)

I think it was because I already had at least 3 primary partitions( I didn't really notice that then nor I ever cared to look at before).
After fiddling with Windows Disk Management (using mmc), I managed to have a 300GB big unallocated space with 3 other primary partitions.
This time I was able to create either swap or /boot. But then again I hit the
"local variable 'e' was referenced..." error. Again, I think it was because of the number of primary partitions.
So I have now only 1 primary partition and 1 extended partition which includes, a system recovery logical partition, C: where Windows is and a green "free space".
See the photo here.
Now when I try to install Fedora, I get

But in a document ( I think it was the official reference but I can't find the exact location anymore ), it said that I need unallocated partition to be able to install Fedora. (I was reading somewhere around here
So I'm confused and banging my head against this wall.
How do I install Fedora on my machine alongside Windows 10 ?
Is the second photo an actual bug that has not been addressed ?
See also Yes, Fedora supports installing into logical partitions inside an extended partition.  from Ask Fedora

A: It seems a bug of the Anaconda installer (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1259745).
Since the bug is closed you probably should download a new ISO and retry the installation.

A: You may could try one of the following things:

*

*You create one ext4 and one linux-swap partition in a live-enviroment (e.g. GParted Live).

*You try to install another distribution (e.g. Ubuntu)

A: You have plenty of space in the extended partition.  My recommendation would be to choose ext3 or ext4 partition in the extended partition while installing the grub to it's default location in the mbr.  This will give you a grub that recognizes windows and at the same time will also load fedora on the allocated space on the extended partition.

TUESDAY, Jan. 20 (HealthDay News) -- Scientists say they are on the verge of developing a saliva test for monitoring type 2 diabetes, which might someday replace invasive blood tests.
For the first time, researchers from Oregon and India have identified proteins in saliva that appear more frequently in people with diabetes than in non-diabetics. Using these proteins, they are working to develop a test to monitor and perhaps diagnose the condition.
However, Dr. Umesh Masharani, an associate clinical professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, doesn't think this approach is going to replace current blood tests any time soon.
"I think this is an interesting and novel approach," Masharani said. "I do not think this approach will be used in the diagnosis or treatment of diabetes any time in the near future. It is interesting, I think, for research studies in diabetes."
The report was published in the Jan. 2 issue of the Journal of Proteome Research.
For the study, Paturi V. Rao, from the departments of Endocrinology and Metabolism and Medicine at Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences University in Hyderabad, India, and colleagues analyzed saliva samples from people with and without type 2 diabetes. Their goal was to find proteins associated with the blood sugar disease.
The researchers found 65 proteins that occurred twice as frequently in the people with diabetes than in those without the condition.
Using these proteins, Rao's team hopes to develop a noninvasive test for diabetes screening, detection and monitoring.
Rao's group thinks the pain involved with current diabetes monitoring causes many diabetics to be lax in monitoring their condition. A noninvasive test could make it easier and less painful for patients to keep track of their blood sugar levels.
"As recent studies have shown that early and multi-factorial intervention in diabetes prevents cardiovascular complications and mortality, advances in understanding molecular aspects of preclinical diabetes will further facilitate accurate diagnosis and early intervention," the authors wrote.
Diabetes expert Dr. Charles F. Burant, a professor of internal medicine at the University of Michigan, isn't convinced that a test using proteins in saliva is needed.
"I think it has minimal clinical impact," Burant said. "To be a valid biomarker, a test has to be sensitive and specific. We don't know the value of either for any of the proteins at the present time."
The biggest question is why this is needed, Burant noted. "Diabetes and prediabetes have a valid biomarker -- glucose -- that is the measure of the disease state. Thus, this is interesting biochemistry and raises questions why these changes occur, but the clinical utility is unclear."


So right now I'm currently searching for my full-time position after I graduate (which is this upcoming December!), but I figured now is a good chance to talk about interviewing with companies for a co-op. This is a post targeted towards current students, but I will discuss in foundational terms just in case.
A huge part of the games industry is annual Game Developers Conference (GDC), held in San Francisco. You do not necessarily need to attend, especially as a student, but it is a great way to network and find out if the games industry a good fit for you. This year I will be attending my second GDC, and I think I have a handful of tips that can be helpful for students at this conference!
I know that our major is Game Design and Development, which means that we all love games so much that we decided to make it our career. We have a handful of clubs on campus that are specifically game focused, such as the Electronic Gaming Society (EGS), Rochester War and Games (RWAG), and Crash Test. EGS focuses on video games, and holds many tournaments throughout the year where some donate to charity. RWAG is partial to board games and has specific board game nights. Lastly, Crash Test is about testing your own games, specifically table-top focused.
This is an open letter to females and those who identify as such who are interested in being a Game Design major.
First off – if you like programming and you like games DO IT.


Will Bob play? And if so, what will he choose?
We know that Tedeschi Trucks was asked to do "Million Miles."
Los Angeles, USA - January 06, 2015 - GRAMMY winners Taj Mahal, Alanis Morissette, Aaron Neville, Bruce Springsteen, Susan Tedeschi, and Derek Trucks; and GRAMMY-nominated singer/songwriter Jackson Browne are the latest performers added to the 2015 MusiCares Person of the Year tribute concert honoring Bob Dylan on Feb. 6 in Los Angeles. Former President and current 57th GRAMMY nominee Jimmy Carter will present Dylan with the MusiCares Person of the Year award.
Previously announced performers are GRAMMY winners Beck; the Black Keys; Crosby, Stills & Nash; Norah Jones; Tom Jones; Los Lobos; John Mellencamp; Willie Nelson; Bonnie Raitt; Eddie Vedder; Jack White; and Neil Young; as well as singer/songwriter John Doe. Three-time GRAMMY-winning producer and recent Emmy winner Don Was will be the evening's musical director.
indicates that Bob is involved in matching song choices with performers.
could be the best move of this ceremony yet.
Hope he shreds it Lukas Nelson Style.
That article didn't specify if she talked directly to him. I hope that's it, that she did talk to Bob himself...which would make that show SO exciting! Kind of like what some see as his music as theater art in his current shows.
Bob three-song closer: Forgetful Heart, Long and Wasted Years and Stay With Me. Then everyone comes back out and each artist gets two verses of Tempest.
..... Then everyone comes back out and each artist gets two verses of Tempest.
That bit was unconfirmed, and will probably not take place. Instead Bob will sing the live debut of "Tin Angel", while three of the singers will act out the plot on stage. Willie Nelson has secured the role of the boss, and Neil Young will appear as old Henry Lee, while auditions are still ongoing for the part of the lady.
Wow - Dylan is playing at this event?
From Llama's link I see Don Was is musical director of this event. Wonderful news. This could sound as good as UTRS! It's been a long wait.
Was (Not Was) were slightly out there in their time.
Jimmy Carter is on the Daily Show tonight, I'll be watching for any Dylan talk.
Can anyone confirm if Dylan is actually performing?
That's the question Jal. I feel like I read somewhere that he was, but can't find it.
(and the Dylan, Inc. site doesn't mention it under either news or hype, which is actually kind of cool).
One can infer that he wouldn't snub Jimmy Carter since Bob is not on tour.
The Recording Academy announced Tuesday that Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson and Jack White will perform at the pre-Grammy show Feb. 6 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Dylan's accolade was announced last September. At the time, Neil Portnow, president and CEO of the MusiCares Foundation and The Recording Academy, said Dylan's "body of creative work has contributed to America's culture, as well as that of the entire world, in genuinely deep and lasting ways."
Added MusiCares Foundation Board chair Bill Silva: "Bob Dylan's songwriting ability is unmatched, and it will be an extraordinary evening to hear his work showcased by such a remarkable group of artists."
Past MusiCares Person of the Year honorees include Bono, Tony Bennett, Aretha Franklin, Billy Joel and Quincy Jones. Proceeds from the event, which is in its 25th year, will support MusiCares, which provides financial and medical help to musicians in need.
The 57th annual Grammys Awards will take place Feb. 8 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The awards will air live on CBS.
I really hope they'll all be doing songs they haven't done before. It'd be lame if Neil pulled out another rendition of Watchtower and if Willie did What Was It You Wanted again... I want new covers.
I agree Dani. It would also be cool if they disregarded Rolling Stone, Watchtower completely.
Million Miles with Susan & Derek is good. Who's doing Narrow Way?
At the end of this article it says the telecast will be broadcast live on the CBS Television Network at 8 p.m. ET/PT." Not sure if they're referring to the tribute or the Grammy's though.
We can only hope Jal. There are a few other articles around that look like they meant just for the Grammy.
Otherwise, it seems like we'll be counting on layperson tweets.
I am hoping for one of the kind Bob tapers can go, record and share a recording of this event.
Pretty much all of my current musical heroes paying tribute to my main musical hero!
I wish I could be there, right now!
Last year, didn't they do the Beatles tribute show prior to, and as part of the Grammy's, and then show the entire Beatles tribute portion on CBS later as a separate event ?.....or something Like that ?


WESTFIELD - Starting next week and through the rest of the 2017-18 school year, there will be an increased police presence at district schools throughout the day following a series of incidents related to the intermediate school.
The schools will have a patrol car presence with an officer on foot as warranted, according to a noticed posted Friday by Schools Superintendent Margaret Dolan, Mayor Shelly Brindle and other school district and township officials.
The school board and town plan to discuss permanent police measures that can be implemented for the new school year starting in September.
There have been three incidents at Edison Intermediate School over the past week, according to the notice.
According to Police Chief David Wayman, a 911 call was received Feb. 21 in which the called indicated they were being physically harmed before hanging up. Police determined the call came from the are of the intermediate school and police went to the school to alert the principal.
The district implemented a lockdown and then initiated a "shelter in place" in an effort to locate the person in distress and determine if medical attention was needed. During the "shelter in place," normal classroom activities resumed. Once the caller was identified and it was determined that no threat was present, the "shelter in place" was lifted. As school officials address the incident administratively, a police investigation is continuing.
On Wednesday, Feb. 28, Westfield police received a report of a potential unspecified social media threat against intermediate school and the administration. The principal was notified and the school was evacuated until police confirmed there was no threat and normal school activities resumed. The person responsible for the social media post was identified and is being addressed administratively by school officials and a police investigation is continuing.
And then on Thursday, March 1, a student at Edison Intermediate School notified school administration about a possible threat against the school written in a restroom. Police were notified, and after meeting with the principal and investigating the vandalism, it was determined the threat was not credible. An investigation is currently underway to identify the vandal.
The notice from school and town officials said at no time was the safety of any students or faculty compromised.
The school district, town and police are working on establishing consistent communication protocols to notify the public of any future incidents.

Immune responses and antibody decay after immunization of adolescents and adults with an acellular pertussis vaccine: The APERT study
Thuan Le, James D. Cherry, Swei Ju Chang, Maria Deloria Knoll, Martin L. Lee, Steve Barenkamp, David Bernstein, Robert Edelman, Kathryn M. Edwards, David Greenberg, Wendy Keitel, John Treanor, Joel I. Ward
As part of a prospective acellular pertussis (ACP) vaccine efficacy trial, 5 serum samples were obtained, over an 18-month period, from 101 ACP-vaccine recipients and 99 control subjects, to assess ACP antibody response and decay. Immunoglobulin (Ig) G and IgA antibodies to pertussis toxin (PT), filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), pertactin (PRN), and fimbriae 2/3 (FIM) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay, and titers of agglutinin were determined. Of the subjects, 16%-19% had preimmunization values of antibodies to PT that were above the assay's limit of quantitation (LOQ); in contrast, 36%-63% of the subjects had preimmunization values of antibodies to FHA, PRN, or FIM that were above the LOQ. Substantial increases in titers of IgG and IgA antibodies to the 3 ACP antigens (PT, FHA, and PRN) were observed. Over the 18-months, the percent decay in IgG and IgA antibodies ranged from 56% to 73% and from 57% to 70%, respectively; the IgG antibody response and decay suggests that geometric mean titers likely remain above the LOQ for 2-9 years and above the threshold of detection for 4-13 years. These findings support the use of ACP booster immunizations for adolescents and adults, to provide sustained levels of antibody.

Consequently, James has been responsible for the delivery of all aspects of probation services, from Magistrates' Court liaison to Unpaid Work. During his probation career, James worked closely with partner agencies, including the police, social care and community organisations to manage specific individuals identified as posing a significant risk of serious harm to the public. This included chairing multi-agency public protection meetings (MAPPA Level 2), and working with Bassetlaw, Newark and Sherwood Community Safety Partnership to develop probation involvement with local Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conferences (MARAC).
In 2010 James took the difficult decision to leave his career with Nottinghamshire Probation Trust to pursue a long-held ambition of an academic career. Following the successful completion of a Master's degree in research methods, with a special focus on public policy and management, James began studying full-time for his PhD. In 2016 he completed his thesis, titled 'Instability in the social construction of victims of trafficking: A sociological case study of UK public policy'. This research explored the factors influencing street-level bureaucrats in the UK as they judge the credibility of individuals claiming to be a victim of human trafficking.
2015 also saw James join De Montfort University as a Lecturer in Probation, where his focus was delivering academic teaching as a part the Probation Qualifying Framework. In 2016, James transfered to the BA Criminology and Criminal Justice programme as a VC2020 Lecturer, which allows him to balance his teaching commitments with an equal focus on research activities.

What's going on? Why are the Saints being accused of intentionally hurting other players? What's going to happen? As the investigation unfolds, it looks like the situation is quite serious.
Here's the facts reported by ESPN and the NFL. Somewhere between 22 and 27 defensive players on the New Orleans Saints, as well as former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, allegedly maintained some sort of a "bounty" program. A program funded primarily by players in violation of NFL rules during the 2009, 2010 and 2011 seasons.
According to the leagues investigation, in some cases, the amounts pledged were both significant and direct. Shockingly enough, four former Redskins players, including defensive end Phillip Daniels, told the Washington Post that Williams had a similar system while serving as the Redskins' defensive coordinator.
being told to stop by team owner Tom Benson. Meanwhile, coach Sean Payton was aware of the allegations, but did not pursue them or take steps to stop the program.
Gregg Williams released this statement in regard to the findings and said, "I want to express my sincere regret and apology to the NFL, Mr. Benson, and the New Orleans Saints fans for my participation in the 'pay for performance' program while I was with the Saints. It was a terrible mistake, and we knew it was wrong while we were doing it. Instead of getting caught up in it, I should have stopped it. I take full responsibility for my role. I am truly sorry. I have learned a hard lesson and I guarantee that I will never participate in or allow this kind of activity to happen again."
What happens next? It all rests in the hands of Commissioner Roger Goodell. Speaking of which, Goodell said "It is our responsibility to protect a players safety and the integrity of our game, and this type of conduct will not be tolerated. We have made significant progress in changing the culture with respect to player safety and we are not going to relent. We have more work to do and we will do it."
The NFLPA issued a statement Friday on the issue, stating "Health and safety is a paramount issue to the NFLPA. The NFLPA was informed of this investigation by the NFL earlier today and will review the information contained in the league's report."
For now, Commissioner Goodell has advised the Saints that he will hold proceedings to determine potential discipline against the team and the individuals involved, and that he will work the players' union regarding the appropriate punishment. That discipline could very steep and include fines, suspensions and even the forfeiture of certain draft choices.
Saints owner, Tom Benson said, "I have been made aware of the NFL's findings relative to the 'Bounty Rule' and how it relates to our club. I have offered and the NFL has received our full cooperation in their investigation. While the findings may be troubling, we look forward to putting this behind us and winning more championships in the future for our fans."
To make matter even worse, the investigation also revealed that some players contributed cash into a pool and received payments of two kinds from it, based on their play in the previous week's game. Not only that but, payments were made for plays such as interceptions and fumble recoveries. Plus, the program also included "bounty" payments for "cart-offs" and "knockouts" meaning that the opposing player was either carried off the field or not able to return.
As far as the "bounty" payments are concerned, the investigation showed that the total amount of funds in the pool may have reached $50,000 or more at its height during the 2009 playoffs. The program is alleged to have paid players $1,500 for a "knockout" and $1,000 for a "cart-off," with payouts doubling or even tripling during the playoffs.
Of this Commissioner Goodell said, "The payments here are particularly troubling because they involved not just payments for 'performance,' but also for injuring opposing players. The bounty rule promotes two key elements of NFL football: player safety and competitive integrity."
Allegedly, Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma offered $10,000 to any defensive player that knocked Vikings quarterback Brett Favre out of the 2009 NFC Championship Game. Ironically, Favre said if this proved to be true, "I'm not pissed. It's football. I don't think anything less of those guys."
All in all, this means MAJOR trouble for the Saints. Because the NFL has a longstanding rule prohibiting "non-contract bonuses," and the Saints, if reports are true, violated both the league constitutions and the collective bargaining agreement with the players' union. The fact is, all NFL teams are reminded of this rule every year in a memo from the commissioner himself.
So, when did this start and who launched the investigation? Commissioner Roger Goodell says "Our investigation began in early 2010 when allegations were first made that Saints players had targeted opposing players, including Kurt Warner of the Cardinals and Brett Favre of the Vikings. Our security department interviewed numerous players and other individuals. At the time, those interviewed denied that any such program existed and the player that made the allegation retracted his earlier assertions. As a result, the allegations could not be proven". However, Goodell continued "We recently received significant and credible new information and the investigation was re-opened during the latter part of the 2011 season."
Chicago Bears wide receiver Earl Bennett was injured by a hit from Roman Harper, who was not flagged or fined, in a Week 2 loss to the Saints. Bennett was out for five weeks with a chest injury. Bennett told ESPNChicago.com last Friday, "All I have to say is I hope we play them again. "The game of football is a contact sport, so if they're gunning for me, I'm going to be gunning for them."
The Saints aren't the first team Gregg Williams incorporated the "bounty" system with. According to a report last Friday by the Washington post, He employed a similar system while with the Redskins from 2004-07. Three former players came forward and admitted that Williams handed out thousands of dollars in accordance with a specific scoring system, including "kill shots" that resulted in opposing teams' top players being knocked out of the game.
ESPN and the NFL report, the investigation included the review of approximately 18,000 documents totaling more than 50,000 pages, interviews of a wide range of individuals and the use of outside forensic experts to verify the authenticity of key documents.
So, far there's no word as to if any other teams are being looked at. Doesn't matter though, because the Saints image is forever going to be tainted by this . As a major fan...I'm very disappointed.
Last but not least, Drew Brees who arrived in New Orleans post Katrina in '06, gave the city and the team life again. He also played a vital role in rebuilding New Orleans and and giving the city and fans new hope.
However, will he stay with the Saints? His contract is just about up. Brees is scheduled to become a free agent on March 13. He and the Saints are currently negotiating, but reports indicate they haven't come to an agreement just yet.
Brees had one hell of a year in which, he set the NFL record for passing yards in a season (5,476). There's no doubt he deserves to be paid at least as much as Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, who average about $18 million a year. Will he get it?
Hopefully the Saints can work this out, and keep Brees. The "bounty" issue alone is really going to hurt the team and it's image. I hate to think of what will happen if we lost Brees as well.

Temporary final rule. AGENCY: ACTION: E:\FR\FM\06DER1.SGM 06DER1 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 235 / Friday, December 6, 2019 / Rules and Regulations The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for navigable waters within 100 yards of a work site pulling new overhead electrical cables along a line crossing the Menominee River in Menominee, MI. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by the installation of overhead electrical cables across the river. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan (COTP). DATES: This rule is effective from 7 a.m. on December 12, 2019, through 10 p.m. on December 21, 2019. ADDRESSES: To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being available in the docket, go to https:// www.regulations.gov, type USCG–2019– 0926 in the ''SEARCH'' box and click ''SEARCH.'' Click on Open Docket Folder on the line associated with this rule. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this rule, call or email Chief Petty Officer Kyle Weitzell, Sector Lake Michigan Waterways Management Division, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone 414–747–7148, email Kyle.W.Weitzell@uscg.mil. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: because we must establish this safety zone by December 12, 2019. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of this rule would be impracticable because immediate action is needed to mitigate potential safety hazards associated with the process of pulling the new cables across the Menominee River. I. Table of Abbreviations IV. Discussion of the Rule This rule establishes a safety zone from 7 a.m. on December 12, 2019 through 10 p.m. on December 21, 2019. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters of the Menominee River within 100 yards of a work site pulling new overhead electrical cables along a line crossing the river from coordinates 45.096326° N, 087.602092° W to 45.097197° N, 087.600601° W. This safety zone is intended to be enforced on one day during the aforementioned timeframe, dependent on weather conditions. The date and time of the enforcement period will be announced by the COTP by Broadcast Notice to Mariners. The duration of the zone is intended to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in these navigable waters while lines and electrical cables are being pulled across the river. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone is prohibited unless authorized by the COTP or a designated on-scene representative. The COTP or a designated on-scene representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16. SUMMARY: lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with RULES CFR Code of Federal Regulations DHS Department of Homeland Security FR Federal Register NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking § Section U.S.C. United States Code II. Background Information and Regulatory History The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those procedures are ''impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with respect to this rule because the COTP was made aware of this project to install new overhead electrical cables on November 19, 2019 and immediate action is needed to mitigate potential safety hazards associated with the process of pulling the new cables across the Menominee River. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM VerDate Sep<11>2014 22:31 Dec 05, 2019 Jkt 250001 III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The COTP has determined that potential safety hazards associated with process of pulling the new cables across the Menominee River scheduled to take place on one day from December 12, 2019 through December 21, 2019, will be a safety concern for anyone within 100 yards from a work site involving the installation of new overhead electrical cables across the Menominee River between Menominee, MI and Marinette, WI. This rule is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters within the safety zone while lines and electrical cables are being pulled across the river. V. Regulatory Analyses We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 66841 Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors. A. Regulatory Planning and Review Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been designated a ''significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt from the requirements of Executive Order 13771. This regulatory action determination is based on the characteristics of the safety zone. The safety zone created by this rule will be relatively small and is designed to minimize its impact on navigable waters. This rule will prohibit entry into certain navigable waters of the Menominee River at Menominee, MI and Marinette, WI and is not anticipated to exceed twelve hours in duration. Thus, restrictions on vessel movement within that particular area are expected to be minimal. Under certain conditions, moreover, vessels may still transit through the safety zone when permitted by the COTP. B. Impact on Small Entities The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ''small entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any vessel owner or operator. Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121), we want to assist small entities in understanding this rule. If the rule E:\FR\FM\06DER1.SGM 06DER1 66842 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 235 / Friday, December 6, 2019 / Rules and Regulations would affect your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1– 888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard. lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with RULES C. Collection of Information This rule will not call for a new collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132, Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order 13132. Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes, please call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above. E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary regulatory actions. In VerDate Sep<11>2014 22:31 Dec 05, 2019 Jkt 250001 particular, the Act addresses actions that may result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble. F. Environment We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security Directive 023–01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have determined that this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves a safety zone not anticipated to last more than twelve hours that will prohibit entry within 100 yards of a work site crossing the Menominee River for the pulling of new overhead electrical cables across the river. It is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) in Table 3–1 of U.S. Coast Guard Environmental Planning Implementing Procedures. A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination will be available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES once it has been completed. G. Protest Activities The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.

Safety Zone; Electrical Cable Installation, Menominee River,
Menominee, MI and Marinette, WI
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
navigable waters within 100 yards of a work site pulling new overhead
electrical cables along a line crossing the Menominee River in
Menominee, MI. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel, vessels,
and the marine environment from potential hazards created by the
installation of overhead electrical cables across the river. Entry of
vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically
authorized by the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan (COTP).
DATES: This rule is effective from 7 a.m. on December 12, 2019, through
10 p.m. on December 21, 2019.

Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code
The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because the COTP was made aware of this
project to install new overhead electrical cables on November 19, 2019
and immediate action is needed to mitigate potential safety hazards
associated with the process of pulling the new cables across the
Menominee River. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM because we must
establish this safety zone by December 12, 2019.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable because immediate action is needed to
mitigate potential safety hazards associated with the process of
pulling the new cables across the Menominee River.
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The COTP has determined that
potential safety hazards associated with process of pulling the new
cables across the Menominee River scheduled to take place on one day
from December 12, 2019 through December 21, 2019, will be a safety
concern for anyone within 100 yards from a work site involving the
installation of new overhead electrical cables across the Menominee
River between Menominee, MI and Marinette, WI. This rule is needed to
protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable
waters within the safety zone while lines and electrical cables are
being pulled across the river.
This rule establishes a safety zone from 7 a.m. on December 12,
2019 through 10 p.m. on December 21, 2019. The safety zone will cover
all navigable waters of the Menominee River within 100 yards of a work
site pulling new overhead electrical cables along a line crossing the
river from coordinates 45.096326[deg] N, 087.602092[deg] W to
45.097197[deg] N, 087.600601[deg] W. This safety zone is intended to be
enforced on one day during the aforementioned timeframe, dependent on
weather conditions. The date and time of the enforcement period will be
announced by the COTP by Broadcast Notice to Mariners. The duration of
the zone is intended to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment in these navigable waters while lines and electrical cables
are being pulled across the river. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring
within the safety zone is prohibited unless authorized by the COTP or a
designated on-scene representative. The COTP or a designated on-scene
representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16.

Tweeting, Live
Whether it's Patton Oswalt giving his commentary on a presidential debate, or simply everyone you know spoiling this week's The Walking Dead, one thing is clear – people LOVE live tweeting. This humble "twittertary" is when someone, celebrity or not, provides their opinions on some event, typically a television broadcast. But for some that isn't enough. Imagine a world where you can live stream your live tweets on Twitter. Sound good? Well stop day dreaming Buster Brown because you live in that world.
Look through the Periscope at a Meerkat. That may sound ridiculous, but those are the two apps currently waging cyber war for your business. Periscope is Twitter's answer to Meerkat, and both are apps that permit users to perform amateur live streams of whatever content, over Twitter and other social media platforms. Mashable reports how it works:
During a live stream, you can comment and the broadcaster will see the comments. Because so few people were watching each stream, people often responded directly to me on camera. In Meerkat, every comment is a Twitter reply to the original Meerkat Live video prompt tweet. Here, however, Periscope fundamentally differs from Meerkat.

So just how popular is this? Well, a manager at Twitter's Australian division, streamers Down Under watch near forty years of content daily. On Meerkat in particular, celebrities such as Jimmy Fallon, Tony Hawk, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus tout its use. Commentators at Billboard had this to say:
When Periscope first came out the reaction was, 'This is gonna be really bad for the music industry,'" Sager said …"We never intended it to [be used to] live stream shows. Artists are using it to broadcast the moment before they go on stage, or what's happening on the tour bus. It's a different way for artists to communicate with fans on a different level.
Periscope has even developed a partnership with GoPro, the high definition camera company for those who wish to document extreme sports. Live stream your mountain biking trip in the Sierra Nevada Mountains? Sounds like bar is being raised.
Enter NPAW, the leader and specialist in proven technology which monitors and ensures quality content streaming. If twit-streams are set to become the phenomenon they appear to be, these apps are going to need to utilize technology to maximize the quality of the various live streams. Meerkat in particular, considering it is a, fast growing, upstart looking to steal market share from the goliath Twitter could benefit from the various quality monitors, IT services, and other services to ensure maximum profits are extracted from the content created by users, and end viewers are satisfied.
Just something else to think about from us here at NPAW.
