BBC promises five new HD channels by early 2014, including News, CBeebies and BBC Four

Not that they weren't pretty excellent already, but some major BBC channels are due to get 1080-line upgrades by early next year. UK viewers will get five new channels in total, with no need for any subscriptions (courtesy of Freeview HD, YouView and Freesat), including BBC News HD, BBC Three HD, BBC Four HD, CBeebies HD and CBBC HD (so long as Mr Tumble can fix his make-up). The programming will match the standard-def counterparts and contribute a promised 250 hours of extra HD content per week. There's also talk of broadcasting regional programs and variants in HD, although that proposal still has to be approved by the BBC Trust and could be a bit further off.

Facebook Privacy Setting HOAX - Verify Information Before You Share!

There is a thing being shared on facebook that is NOT TRUE and yet it just keeps getting shared. ?I'm so sick of seeing it, I had to share here in an attempt to get the word out and hopefully put this to rest once and for all.

Have you seen this?

Attention friends and family: ?Facebook has changed their privacy settings once more!! Due to the new "graph app" anyone on facebook (including other countries ) can see your pictures, likes & comments. Over the next 2 weeks I will be posting this, and please once you have done it please post DONE!!! Those of you who do not keep my information from going out to the public, I will have to DELETE YOU! I want to stay PRIVATELY connected with you. I post photos of family that I don't want strangers to have access to! This happens when friends click "like" or "comment" automatically -- their friends would see our posts, too. Unfortunately, we cannot change this setting by ourselves because Facebook configured it that way. PLEASE place your mouse over my name above (DO NOT CLICK), a window will appear,now move the mouse on "FRIENDS" (also without clicking), then down to "settings", click here and a list will appear. REMOVE the CHECK on "LIFE EVENTS and "COMMENTS & LIKES". By doing this, my activity among my friends and family will no longer become public. Now, copy & paste this on your wall. Once I see this posted on your page, I will do the same for you. Thank you so very much.

?

This is a HOAX! ?Posting this will not protect your privacy. ?Your friends following it's instructions will not help protect your privacy. ?Several of my facebook friends have posted this, and even after I have commented that it's a hoax, other people have commented "done". ?

Following the instructions in the message will do nothing other than stop you from seeing much of what your friends are doing on Facebook and stop them from seeing what you are doing as well. Posting this false and misleading information will do nothing whatsoever to protect your privacy.?

??

Before forwarding emails to all your friends or sharing things like this on facebook VERIFY THE INFORMATION IS TRUE at??Snopes? or???Hoax Slayer? where they list all the current crap that is spreading like wild fire and shouldn't be.

TEXAS HOUSE PASSES HB 2, PRO-LIFE OMNIBUS BILL?

by: Rep. Springer, Drew

07/09/2013

AUSTIN, TX. ? This evening, the Texas House of Representatives passed HB 2, the Pro-Life omnibus bill aimed at preserving unborn life and improving safety standards for abortion providers in the State of Texas.
HB 2 accomplishes four main goals. It prohibits abortions after 20 weeks, a time at which it has been shown that the fetus can experience pain. It improves women?s healthcare by requiring that abortions, like other similar procedures, to be performed in ambulatory surgical centers which have greater health and safety requirements than current abortion clinics. It requires doctors performing abortions in Texas have credentials for a hospital within 30 miles of where they are performing an abortion. Lastly, it also increases restrictions on abortion inducing drugs.

?I am proud to announce that today we passed HB 2 which will save thousands of unborn lives each year, while at the same time protecting Texas women from the low health and safety standards currently found in clinics,? said Springer.

HB 2 will now move onto third reading before advancing to the Texas Senate where it will go before committee and be debated by the Senate body as a whole.
The Texas Legislature is currently in week two of the second Special Session brought forth by Governor Perry. In addition to considering Pro-Life legislation, both bodies will consider legislation regarding transportation and juvenile criminal justice.

If you have any questions or comments feel free to contact Rep. Springer's Capitol office by phone (512) 463- 0526 or by email Drew.Springer@house.state.tx.us.

Bugged guts

This is a jewel wasp. New research suggests its species differs from others not only in its genes, but also in the microbes that live in its gut.

A living animal is never alone. Its body ? like yours ? is home to trillions of microbes, or tiny single-celled organisms. Those microbes aren?t just hitchhiking. They can play an important role in separating species, researchers now report.

Regulators send Hawaiian Electric back to the drawing board for renewable energy RFP

Hawaii regulators are instructing Hawaiian Electric Co. to bring more clarity and certainty in its draft request for proposals for 200 megawatts or more of renewable energy for Oahu, according to a filing on Thursday with the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission.

The PUC said that the current draft RFP should be updated to eliminate references to Castle & Cooke?s 200 megawatt Lanai wind farm project, which instead will be reviewed in a separate filing.

Additionally, solicitations for proposals for an undersea cable project will be removed from the existing draft RFP, the PUC said.

Instead, the PUC, in a separate filing, plans to investigate whether an undersea cable system to interconnect the Oahu and Maui electrical grids is in the public interest and if so, under what conditions such a grid-tie cable system should be developed, operated and regulated.

The current draft RFP has become overly complex and involves greater elements of uncertainty, and by giving each of the development segments ? potential renewable generation projects, a potential Oahu-Maui interisland undersea cable and a potential Lanai wind project ? a separate path for independent progress, the PUC said that it is looking to reduce the number of variables and complexity

Jeff Mikulina, executive director of the Honolulu-based nonprofit Blue Planet Foundation, said in a statement that ?this is an effort to shake the trees and identify the best available clean energy options for Hawaii.?

He pointed out that instead of requiring an energy developer to propose both a project and a transmission solution, the PUC is opening the door to a greater pool of possibilities.
