Ugh. Double-ugh. Apple Singapore refuses to honor my MBA warranty for a "hinge failure." They seem to not believe my story. This will cost me US$700. They looked for excuses to not pay - for their own well-known hinge flaw. If indeed I had busted the hinge, I'd have no problem. But this hurts.

"Edwin - I don't understand the increased risk that the IPP sees. The schedule is still submitted to WESM on a day-ahead basis as a bilateral schedule, no? Whatever risks arise due to "scheduling" can be passed on to off-taker."

I hope you have a great week with the family and I know everyone is excited. Remember it is "quality time not quanity time" that you spend with everyone. Have a great week. Mom

Is the Maasim coal-fired plant struggling? Still looking to line up the equity portion, it seems. And there are a million reasons why that might be. But w/o equity, can't get debt. w/o debt can't start substantial construction. - http://www.mindanews.com/index...

Ugh. Economic theory. So, is "risk aversion" different from a "fear of uncertainty"? This is why i run away from economists - an important discussion, wish I could grasp it, but not one I relish entering into. I want a quick fix, please.

I did more reading of the non-economic portion: http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~cook... I like that. I understand that. Yes, it's usually risk vs risk and it depends on the point of view you take. Bingo - "risk aversion" is indeed not a useful frame for these things.

Just realized the American word dang doesn't translate here, where it's a girl's name and pronounced with a short "a".
"the liberal John Stuart Mill who said that without the habit of spontaneous voluntary action, citizens "have their faculties only half developed" and the equally liberal Alexis de Tocqueville who warned the independence of individuals went when they "lost the notion of combining together"."
