on "R. Wing: No to wind power"

This si why 80%+ favor wind mills.

See, you side might have some good points that could sway some people. But you come out saying "All will be shattered when the ridges to the south of these ponds are blasted away and leveled and dozens of 459 foot tall wind turbines dominate viewshed"

That to me screams "NIMBY" and not "Wind mills are not a viable alternative". And when I hear "NIMBY", I think "Too bad, get a new back yard"

I've said this a few time - show me a peer reviewed study saying these are harmful or inefficiency. Otherwise, your just wasting your time.

| Upcoming Changes to the Household Survey |
| |
| Effective with the release of The Employment Situation for |
| January 2012 scheduled for February 3, 2012, population controls |
| that reflect the results of Census 2010 will be used in the |
| monthly household survey estimation process. Historical data |
| will not be revised to incorporate the new controls; consequently, |
| household survey data for January 2012 will not be directly |
| comparable with that for December 2011 or earlier periods. A |
| table showing the effects of the new controls on the major labor |
| force series will be included in the January 2012 release. |
| |
| Also effective with the release of The Employment Situation for |
| January 2012, the questions on race and Hispanic or Latino |
| ethnicity in the household survey will be modified. The minor |
| wording changes in the questions are not expected to affect the |
| estimates. |
| |
| In January 2012, the Census Bureau, which conducts the household |
| survey, began a year-long process of reorganizing its regional |
| office structure. For more information on these Census Bureau |
| changes, see www.census.gov/newsroom/pdf/General_QAs_FINAL2.pdf. |
| Both the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) |
| will monitor survey operations during the transition period. No |
| impact on the employment and unemployment estimates from the |
| survey is anticipated from this organizational change. |
