Tennessee 41, UB 10
Big Picture: Bulls took a major step up in class Saturday and it showed. The defense couldn't cope with the Vols speed and quickness. The offense is still having issues in the passing game, making it easier for opponents to stack against the run. Tennessee's pretty good. And the Vols could be ready to take a run at SEC title next year as this young nucleus continues to mature.
Turning Point: UB could have pulled even, or at least within four, late in the first quarter after recovering a fumbled kickoff. The drive began with a sack and ended with a miserably missed 44-yard field goal attempt by Peter Fardon. Tennessee outscored UB, 17-0, the remainder of the half.
Play of the Game: The 68-yard touchdown run by UB QB Chazz Anderson was almost comical. Nobody touched him. Nobody was close to touching him.
Player of the Game: UT QB Tyler Bray's only a sophomore? He threw for 342 and four TDs and the Vols were 12 of 16 on third-down conversions.
Stat of the Game: Tennessee had seven tackles for losses and three sacks.
He Said It: "I was proud of how we jumped out on them. It was a really good first half." Tennessee coach Derek Dooley.
In the House: Attendance was only 87,758 with students on fall break. Fall break? Didn't the semister just start?
What It Means: UB fell to 1-4 and finally is done with nonconference play. Tennessee is 3-1 and moves on to the rigors of the SEC.
What's Next: Ohio visits UB Stadium next Saturday afternoon.

Moon Rock from the Apollo moon landing
In December 1969, museum visitors queued round the block to see a sample of rock brought back from the Moon by the Apollo 11 lunar landing.
Rocks from the Moon are extremely old compared to those on Earth. They range in age from about 3.2 billion years up to about 4.5 billion years old, whereas the Earth's oldest rocks date from about 3.9 billion years. Older formations have been destroyed and recycled by the constant shifting of the Earth's tectonic plates.
Today, a piece of Moon rock from the Apollo 12 mission, on loan from NASA, is on display as part of the exhibition The Evolution of Wales at National Museum Cardiff.
The precious rock is kept in a special airtight container filled with nitrogen to protect it from contamination. At 3.3 billion years old, it is considerably older than the most ancient Welsh rock, which is displayed alongside it - and a mere 702 million years old.
The moon rock is the most expensive item in the entire museum. Its value is based on the cost of going to the moon to get another piece. It is kept in a protective nitrogen environment, only NASA has a key to open the inner case.

Forbes Leadership Forum, Contributor
News, Commentary, and Advice About Leadership
This article is by Shayne Hughes, chief executive of Learning as Leadership.
"All internal e-mail is forbidden for the next week," I announced to my staff.
I wish I could say I stated it boldly, chest puffed out and chin held high. Instead, I whispered it in a cowardly manner from behind the conference table as my team's strenuous objections hurtled at me full force.
"We won't get anything done."
"The whole company is going to grind to a halt."
"We'll be interrupting each other every two minutes."
"I can't wait a week to have a one-on-one to talk about urgent issues."
"It'll make my life miserable! How am I going to delegate to my assistant? I already have too much to do."
"It'll be chaos."
Once the panic cooled, we talked about why I wanted our company to return to the Dark Ages, before electronic communication. Here's the case I made for why our business (and yours) could benefit from skipping a week of e-mail.
In most companies today, internal email is half to three quarters of all traffic. Reading, processing, managing, organizing, and responding to it absorbs vast amounts of time. We clog one another's e-mail systems and to-do lists with a mishmash of crucial topics and trivial information and then waste hours of every day slogging through a hundred useless e-mails to ensure we don't look irresponsible by missing the two or three important ones.
Worse, e-mail is rarely the best medium for addressing the issues and opportunities at hand. It brings us quick questions that don't have quick answers; long, informative rambles with no clear action steps; conversation chains with too many people cc'd and many of them offering oversimplified opinions. And that's on a good day.
Buried beneath our collective e-mail dysfunction are the important conversations our organizations and relationships need to move forward. E-mail is the worst forum for tackling these. Time and again I see leaders being harsher by e-mail than they ever would be in a direct conversation. E-mail has become a false way of addressing conflict, and the costs in terms of time and trust are dramatic.
E-mail is not a communication tool.
The first truth to tell about e-mail is that it facilitates lazy and thoughtless communication. Too often we put a concern or issue in an e-mail, hit the Send button, and boom: Now it's your problem. You figure out the next step, provide the missing information, or remember to bring it up the next time we see each other.
We feel relief because we don't need to think about it anymore.
That relief, however, lasts only until our in box chimes with an e-mail from that colleague or another doing the same to us.
Unfortunately, most of us are suckers for low-hanging fruit. If it's an easy e-mail to handle, we knock out our reply and feel the high of getting something done. But if it's not, it languishes in our in box while we search for something else to answer. Leaders in most organizations e-mail past one another—rather than talking with one another.
Being thoughtful about challenging issues is hard work. The rapid-fire, tactical nature of e-mail actually discourages us from stopping and asking ourselves, "Is this a priority that needs to be addressed? With whom?" We stay reactive rather than proactive.
You are the fire hose.
A common complaint I hear from leaders I coach is that they are too consumed by e-mail to be strategic. It's true. We can't create space for our prefrontal cortex to do deep, creative thinking if our reptilian brain stem is drowning in a sea of tactical e-mails. But this isn't something that just happens to us. We do it to ourselves and to one another. Every time we answer an e-mail with content that should have been not written but discussed face-to-face or by phone, we perpetuate the dysfunction.
It was this frustration with my team and my own lack of productivity that pushed me to forbid internal e-mail for a week. I didn't want to arrive at the end of another day feeling stressed out by frantic activity that accomplished little of importance.
Still, I admit, I was worried. What if their complaints were correct? What if we interrupted one another all the time and reverted back to the pre-e-mail days of paper notes and forgotten tasks? I didn't want to look foolish—and I couldn't take it anymore.
We're addicted for a reason.
By the end of the first day, flurries of new e-mails had stopped capturing my time. A sense of calm descended, and an unsettling question arose: What should I be doing with my time?
Like many leaders, I had a long list of move-the-organization-forward endeavors that I never seemed to find time for. What's most important to do, however, is often what's most difficult. In the absence of e-mail's ever-distracting background noise, I was forced to confront how I had unconsciously allowed it to keep me from taking action on those high-priority but uncomfortable items.
I began to carve out power hours in which to tackle those challenges head on. As my team did the same, our high-octane, stay-on-top-of-whatever-is-happening-via-e-mail mentality disappeared. In its place we experienced a more focused and productive energy. Many people mistake urgent e-mail activity for productivity, but that stressful busy-ness is invariably tactical and rarely strategic and creative. When we stopped sending one another e-mail, we stopped winding one another up. The decrease in stress from one day to the next was palpable. So was our increase in productivity.
This was when I grasped the most damaging cost of thoughtless e-mail: It prevents us from doing our best work.
Counterintuitively, this is also e-mail's most seductive ego-benefit: It protects us from taking the risk of focusing our best effort on our most challenging endeavors.
Limiting e-mail helps us make choices.
Outlawing internal e-mail for a week challenged us not only to be more thoughtful about what we worked on but also to be more deliberate about what we addressed and with whom. In losing the illusion that we could do everything if we just kept sending one another e-mails, we zeroed in on our most pressing priorities. When information or an opportunity came across someone's desk, we learned to ask ourselves, "Is this important enough for me to bring to the team as an agenda point?" instead of reflexively forwarding it by e-mail. Talking gave us a chance to define if and why an idea was interesting enough to merit our attention.
Whether it was the trust built when two team members worked through a conflict or the unexpected creativity we accessed when we tackled a problem together, communicating reconnected us with the neglected power of human interaction.
Effective uses of e- mail.
During our experiment, we kept track of when e-mail would have been a more effective means of getting something done. Here are the four uses of e-mail that enhanced productivity:
Stop e-mail cold turkey for one week.
E-mail is so embedded in our way of operating at work that trying to manage it by structuring our use of it (doing e-mail at certain times of the day, or adhering to formatting rules) is typically insufficient. Our company had tried and failed with all sorts of techniques. We needed a week of detox to go through withdrawal and actually feel how much more productive we were in a world with limited e-mail. As with all rapacious addictions, actually stopping wasn't like just thinking about stopping. Our cold turkey week was essential to breaking our e-mail addiction—so don't skip it yourself.
During your week without internal e-mail (we considered remotely located colleagues as external), have your team members track their experiences daily.
Take stock in a meeting at the end of the week, and decide together how you want to use e-mail in the future. Even if your team is part of a much larger organization, you still have influence over your corner of the world. Culture change begins with you. You and your team can choose to be buried by e-mail or empower yourselves to put boundaries around it.
"Too often we put a concern or issue in an e-mail, hit the Send button, and boom: Now it's your problem."
This sums it up perfectly. It's an illusion of getting things done. But instead tasks and information fly around from one inbox to the other. Time and knowledge sharing is lost.
We have banned internal emails permanently since January this year. Here's a few tips on how to get started.
Hi Shayne,
Why just a week? In January I asked all the employees in Exformatics to do the same. Initially the employees were skeptic to the idea, but when asking after a month trial everyone agreed it lead to a working environment with less stress and higher productivity. After a month of trial in January we had to make some modifications to the work procedures in order to make the internal email ban permanent, and it June it was rolled out. Today I very seldom receive any internal emails, which enables me to focus on important customer interaction while saving many hours of works daily.
I also believe you need to try it out for at least a month. According to psychologists behavioral changes takes at least 20 days. A week is simply too short a period to really ensure people really feel the difference.
The week was a learning experiment. It helped (partially) break an addiction and it allowed us to define what were and weren't effective uses of email. The effective uses we currently allow. The dysfunctional uses that I describe in the post are still banned.
Shayne and Morten,
I've personally been off of email for about 18 months. Replacing email with a variety of services that are more social, more mobile, more terse, more interactive and more collaborative. See http://ibiblio.org/pjones/blog/ or follow #noemail (as Morten does already) on Twitter.
But my hero, and often my model, is Luis Suarez @elsua who is up to over 4 years without corporate email at IBM. Luis has some great essays about his progress http://www.elsua.net/tag/a-world-without-email/ "Living in a World Without Email"
See you and others at #noemail
Email consumes good part of our professional and social time. Having said that it is an important tool to deliver information across the geography to your internal and external customers and partners.
But a certain discipline can cut down on the copious amount of email traffic generated.
1. Email is an information delivery channel only. It is not a communication tool.
2. Religiously questions yourself does this email require cc ?
3. Practice half a day a week email free time.
good luck
I love this. One of the more bold and necessary moves I've heard made by an Executive in a while. I was actually just talking to some colleagues about how much time we waste in a given day, how our jobs could easily be completed in less than a few hours. How much time is wasted with email or pointless meetings? There was an article addressing how much money companies were losing with endless and pointless meetings…wish I could recall the title.
Anyway, good move and thanks for the read!!
As great as this seems, it would never be feasible in a large organization.
That being said, I often make it a point to walk over and visit with a colleague, as opposed to emailing or calling them. A) it's healthy to get up and walk around & B) face-to-face often addresses issues text can't.
More challenging in a large organization — and all the more necessary.
Take charge of the piece you can influence. Start with your own team (of 3, 5, 10, whatever it is). Experiment and see what works for you. This may already address 40-50% of your email.
Then look at the next group of people or interfaces that you exchange ineffective emails with and go talk to them. Build from there.
Remember that everyone is suffering from this, everyone feels powerless to change it, and everyone is perpetuating the dysfunction. Change starts with small steps.
Nice story, some good thoughts! However I was very surprised by the reasons when email is "permitted". Sharing a file? Sending a document with completed meeting details?.. When you stop using email and use the right Social and sharing tools, than that would be the way to share information. This way your organisation becomes more transparant, people can leverage their work to (many) others and become really efficient/productive. Just stopping email without offering alternative (social) tools and without coaching workers on this new way of working will result -in the end- in old economy behaviour.
Brilliant for several reasons. The most important reason though is time to think. Thinking is a lost art for busy, confused and stressed business people. IF your work for that company, you should look at it like I can talk to someone over the phone, or do a face to face meeting which is 1000% more effective than a possibly overlooked E-mail. Thats my opinion and I approve this message. LOL.

The lines are one thing she could improve on. She has high jumps, good energy and the program has loads of transitions but she could be extending her movements better.

I saw her live in Oberstdorf and was quite impressed. She really attacked the jumps and the programme. Actually I didnt even mind that her freeskate was to Carmen. Im usually not a fan of the Canadian ladies, but I really liked this girl lots of speed and power & big jumps.
Tracey Wainman.
Cynthia Phaneuf.
Kaetlyn Osmond.
I would like to say
Liz Manley
Joannie Rochette
Kaetlyn Osmond
There is a joy in her skating which I love.
Kaetlyn also got 3 PCS scores over 7 in the LP which is insane. Took Rochette until about the fall of 2008 to get there. KO did it in her first senior international. Yikes.
Also when Cynthia had her early success she had not yet gone through puberty and growth spurt. Don't know about Wainman.
Keatlyn has already has her adult body (though she mat yet grow taller) and has obviously retained her jumps through the change. For this reason I'm more hopeful that she will fulfill this early potential. Physically she's not a little kid like Lipnitskaya still is.
My travel and adventure blog http://alisonanddon.wordpress.com
Tracy Wainman was 12 and definitely pre-growth spurt when she was sent to Worlds the first time. So yeah.
Osmond's height on the ISU Bio is 165cm (just under 5'5")
Perhaps with M. Ando out of CoC and TEB, she may get a second GP.
Here's hoping!!!! Right now, she needs all the competitions she can get to give her the experience.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The Federal Reserve is testing the limits of its credibility, said Jeffrey Lacker, the president of the Richmond Federal Reserve Bank, on Monday. "My worry... is that we seem to be willing to test the very limits of that credibility and when you make a test, sometimes it doesn't work out right," Lacker said in an interview on CNBC. Last week, Lacker dissented from the Fed's new formula to hold rates steady until the unemployment rate dips below 6.5% as long as inflation is not forecast to rise above 2.5%. In the past, forecasts have often not picked up the acceleration in inflation until it was too late, Lacker noted. The Fed can raise rates and sell off assets, in principle, to dampen inflation pressures, but the question is will the Fed correct course in time, he said. "The larger our balance sheet, the more vulnerable the Fed is to "small errors," Lacker said.

Last season St. Joseph was the early season favorite and carried that torch into the FCIAC tournament before being upset by a red hot Bridgeport Central team in the semifinals.
As everyone had their eyes on the Cadets, the Hilltoppers quietly gained momentum the last month of the season before tearing through the FCIAC tournament, beating Trinity Catholic in the finals.
The fact the Central did that with a team of juniors and sophomores, now leaves them as the team to beat in the league.
The pack of contenders behind them is thick with at perennial contenders like St. Joseph and Trinity, teams looking to jump into the elite like Westhill and Norwalk and teams that normally have success in other sports like Greenwich and Darien all coming into the season with talented rosters.
Bridgeport Central: On paper they look stacked and probably have the best mix of guards and big men in the league. Guard Tyler Ancrum led the Hilltoppers last year and should again with Marcus Blackwell, Antoin Pettway and Shaquan Bretoux all back from last season.
St. Joseph: The Cadets lost Quincy McKnight after he transferred but as is their wont, picked up blue chip prospect, 6-foot-5 guard Arkel Ager, who may be the league's best player. He will join returning players Raekwon Reid, Erick Langston, Jonny Dzurenda and Steve Hashemi when he becomes eligible to pay Jan. 14
Greenwich: The Cardinals snuck into the No. 8 spot in the FCIAC tournament last season but with returning scoring threats in guard CJ Byrd and 6'9 center Alex Wolf they will be tough to defend. How forward Leonel Hyatt develops and if the Cardinals can get consistent guard play will determine how far they can go.
Norwalk: The Bears have one of the league's best duos in Roy Kane Jr. and 6'9 Steve Enoch but will need to find someone to handle the ball if they want to make the jump this season. Team chemistry was, at times, an issue for the Bears last year.
Westhill: When Jeremiah Livingston got going last year, Westhill became a very tough team to beat. The talented guard is back and will be joined in the backcourt by CJ Donaldson. The Vikings will look to 6'6 center Brandon Thomas, 6'3 forward Evan Skoparantzos and 6'4 forward Juan Delacruz to do work inside, allowing the guards to operate.
Tyler Ancrum, Bridgeport Central: The lightning quick Ancrum was the MVP of the FCIAC tournament last year and will look to put the Hilltoppers back into the final again. Ancrum averaged 15.7 points and 7 assists last season.
Jeremiah Livingston, Westhill: Livingston did it all last season averaging 15.7 points, 5 assists, 5 steals and 4 rebounds a game. The 6'0 guard can shoot or go to the basket, making him tough to guard on the perimeter.
Roy Kane Jr., Norwalk: The junior was first team All-FCIAC and first team defense as a sophomore and if he worked at all in the offseason should be very difficult to deal with on both ends of the floor. Read Full Article
Matt Staubi, Darien: If the Blue Wave hope to reach the FCIAC tournament for the first time since anyone can remember it will be on the diminutive shoulders of Staubi. The guard is not scared of anyone and creates scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates.
Alex Wolf, Greenwich: In a league suddenly full of big men, Wolf may be the best. The 6'9 senior can run the floor and takes his defense as seriously as he takes his offense.
Westhill at St. Joseph, Wednesday: Two teams that hope to be nipping at Central's heels all season face off on opening night.
Trinity Catholic at Bridgeport Central, Jan. 3: The Crusaders lost to the Hilltoppers in the FCIAC final last season and would love to get some revenge on the road.
Westhill at Norwalk, Jan. 28: Two of the league's best players go head-to-head in a game that should go down to the wire.
Trinity at Greenwich, Feb. 24: The last two years these teams have staged classic contests decided on the last shot of the game. This late season tilt could decide a spot in the tournament.
Darien at Stamford, Feb. 26: These two teams are hoping to surprise people and when they meet in the last game of the season there could be a lot on the line.

Transportation providers play a major role in local community transportation networks. This resource page from the Human Service Transportation Office provides information about key topics for transportation providers.
Contracting in the HST System
Massachusetts has a coordinated statewide Human Service Transportation (HST) brokerage system with six Regional Transit Authorities currently brokering and managing over 5 million consumer trips throughout the state. Brokers arrange these transportation services by subcontracting with local qualified transportation providers. Work volume for providers can be as limited as occasional trips for mid-day medical appointments to long-term multiple days a week route structured program services. If you are interested in being a provider for these HST services please contact the Broker in your area.
HST Provider Performance Standards
The Human Service Transportation (HST) Office has developed transportation service performance standards in partnership with state agencies participating in the HST brokerage system in Massachusetts. All transportation providers participating in the HST system must adhere to these minimum standards. This document covers such topics as insurance, driver, monitor and vehicle standards, emergency and inclement weather procedures, training, etc.
Local Training Resources
Safety is paramount and ongoing driver training is a vital component to maintaining high quality service.
Mass. Rural Transit Assistance Program (MArtap) has driver training programs.
Driver Skills Development Programs are certified by the Registry of Motor Vehicles and offer advanced driver training in accident avoidance techniques. These programs are conducted in a controlled environment on an off-road training course at actual roadway speeds.
- In Control (in Eastern Mass.)
The Injury Prevention and Control Program of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health offers resources related to passenger safety, including written materials, community coalitions, and education.
National Safety Resources
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has information on safety research, vehicle and equipment recalls and occupant protection systems including child safety seats.
Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (RERC) on Wheelchair Transportation Safety
Transportation Safety Institute (TSI) offers many courses.
National Transit Institute (NTI) has training courses and written materials on transit services, including many related to safety issues.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is the bus and truck safety agency. This web site is has information on the FMSCA's passenger carrier program and regulations as well as many safety publications.
Benefits for Hiring Veterans As Employees
Transportation providers and other employers that hire veterans may be eligible for federal benefits.

OTTAWA -- Hello again from Scotiabank Place, where the Internet is back working in the downstairs media room after disappearing in the press box late in the third period. What a mess for a bunch of swearing reporters. Oh well.
The Sabres beat Ottawa, 3-2, in overtime on a goal by Shaone Morrisonn. He was alone in front after work down low by Thomas Vanek and Jason Pominville. Morrisonn's first goal with Buffalo came after goaltender Brian Elliott turned aside the first point-blank chance.
"It's a huge two points," Morrisonn said. "It's nice to get that first one with the Sabres. It's taken a little longer than I thought, but I'm just happy to get that one."
The goal was necessary after Ottawa tied the game with 6:04 remaining in regulation. Ryan Miller, who was penalized for tripping, was furious with the power-play goal by Sergei Gonchar. Miller was bumped by Nick Foligno when the goal went in.
"They said the puck was in before I was interfered with," Miller said. "I obviously strongly disagree with that version of what happened on the ice, and I let them know that."
Morrisonn's goal allowed the Sabres to head into the break on a 9-3-1 run. They are four points out of a playoff spot.
"We really had to dig ourselves out, and I think we should feel good about what we've done as we go into the break on a high note here," Miller said. "Guys should get their energy because that last push is the most intense. It feels good to get a couple wins and overall have a winning record going in."

Fieldbus linking devices for plant-wide process control
New Foundation Fieldbus Linking Devices strengthen Rockwell Automation communication portfolio for plantwide process control.
Two new linking devices from Rockwell Automation provide PlantPAx process automation system users with connectivity to Foundation Fieldbus devices. The Allen-Bradley 1788-EN2FFR and 1788-CN2FFR linking devices provide a direct link from EtherNet/IP or ControlNet networks to the Foundation Fieldbus H1 device-level network, making the integration of Foundation Fieldbus devices intuitive and seamless, the company said.
"The Foundation Fieldbus standard is a popular choice among many process industry companies because of the wiring, commissioning and support savings a digital network offers," explained Graham Proctor, product manager, Rockwell Automation. "With these linking devices, PlantPAx system users can access data for improved diagnostics, troubleshooting, maintenance and uptime."
The 1788-EN2FFR and 1788-CN2FFR linking devices offer simplified setup into RSLogix 5000 software from Rockwell Automation, thanks to an Add-On-Profile (AOP) and auto-configure tool. The auto-configure tool helps save hours of setup time by applying the most frequently used configuration, while the AOP provides a graphical environment for more detailed field device configuration. In addition, the AOP provides built-in diagnostics, including information on network voltages and currents, internal temperature, and device status, which also can be viewed directly from the on-device display, simplifying troubleshooting for plant operators. A built-in webserver also provides remote access to network and field device data.
Both devices support up to 16 field devices on a single H1 segment and feature multiple redundancy configurations, including redundant linking devices, H1 media, ControlNet media, and EtherNet/IP Device-Level Ring. No external software or user licenses are required for operation, and each device features a built-in power conditioner, which minimizes the equipment's installed footprint.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Police develop partnership to deal with meth waste
KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) - Kalamazoo authorities have developed a partnership to deal with the hazardous waste left behind by illegal methamphetamine production.
The Department of Public Safety says in a statement Monday that it worked with state officials and the city's Public Services Department to develop a methamphetamine remediation program that's modeled after one developed by Kentucky State Police.
Authorities collect the waste and it's transferred to a central location where the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration takes over disposal responsibility.
Kalamazoo says it's the first such Occupational Safety and Health Administration-compliant program in the state.

So it's that time of the year where Christmas lights and Santa hats start showing up. I just moved out to AZ and while I've met a lot of people and am enjoying myself I also would like to add the extra bells and whistles that make life fun. I added some Christmas lights to my patio just for fun but I was thinking: is there any holiday gear that happens to look cool or fashionable?
I bought a Santa hat but before I even wore it out I realized that everyone and their mom is wearing a regular Santa hat. So, is there any cool holiday/Xmas gear that I can wear around that's actually cool... that you guys know of?
Just trying to brainstorm here. I figure we could share any ideas we have. Let's face it the extra flare can be a great ice-breaker. All the suggestions I've got from my co-workers are downright terrible.

6. Value
It may seem dubious to call this a trend, but the fact is, the price of home theater products has dropped significantly while features and performance continue to improve.
Take projectors. Companies like Epson, Mitsubishi, JVC and others offer very good 3D projectors at half the cost of comparable projectors two years ago. On the high-end, companies like DPI and SIM2 offer technologies that eliminate the need for the additional expense of anamorphic lenses for viewing superwide CinemaScope movie formats.
The Epson 5010 projector is a good value for a big screen home theater.
Also a good sign: several home theater dealers now do a large portion of their business installing complete front-projection theater systems for around $10,000. It's possible to put in a system for even less. The front-projection systems Huse offers, for example, start at about $5,000, which includes a 110-inch screen and the programming of a universal remote control.

Chinese demand for dairy products and lower production in the U.S. and New Zealand probably will keep prices rising into next year, said Hackett. China is the world's biggest buyer of whole-milk powder and will import four times more this year than a decade ago, USDA data show.
U.S. exports of cheese, whey, lactose and other dairy products reached records last year, valued at $4.82 billion, or 30 percent more than in 2010, according to the Arlington, Va.-based U.S. Dairy Export Council. The total amount of U.S. dairy products shipped will increase 2 percent to 5 percent this year from 2011, the council forecasts.
Riley Walter, an agricultural bankruptcy lawyer in Fresno, Calif., said he's had 58 cases of dairies in some kind of financial difficulty over the past year and half, including bankruptcy filings, out-of-court liquidations and moving operations into receivership.
"Dairies go through cycles, and I've hit every one of them since 1979, but nothing like this," Walter said. "The recent spike in feed prices due to the drought and ethanol policies really put a nail in the coffin of a lot of people."
So far this year, 49 bankruptcy cases have been filed by family farms in California, up from 43 cases filed last year in the same period, according to federal court records. The cases include dairy and other family-run farms that are eligible to use Chapter 12 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to try to reorganize their debt.
"We're all hemorrhaging hard financially," said Jim Wilson, 44, whose dairy in Riverdale, Calif., milks about 3,000 cows and is losing about $200,000 a month. "We're all on the brink of going under and just culling herds harder because we can't afford to feed them."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Supreme Court has agreed to take a case that could determine whether police can arrest people suspected of driving drunk after they pass field sobriety tests.
The case involves a DUI charge in Sevier County that was dismissed because the driver passed a series of field sobriety tests and a court found police had no other evidence to show that he was guilty of anything other than a traffic violation.
Court records say that David Dwayne Bell passed six field sobriety tests, including one requiring him to count to 30 while standing on one leg. A blood test taken after he was arrested in 2009 showed he was legally drunk. Three lower courts have said the evidence was gained unlawfully because Bell passed the field sobriety tests.

Hot-shooting Blue Raiders explode for 86-65 triumph against New OrleansJanuary 26, 2006 · MT Media Relations
Blue Raider junior Tim Blue throws down a monster dunk against New Orleans. Blue scored a career high 19 points on 6-of-8 shooting. (MT (Bradley Lambert))
· Cumulative
· Box Score
The Blue Raiders (9-9, 2-4) snapped a three-game losing streak on the strength of 58 percent shooting from the field (29-of-50), including a sizzling 62 percent from 3-point range. The 3-point percentage goes down as the fourth-highest in school history for a single game.
The hot-scoring assault was led by the sharpshooting of Tim Blue, who recorded a career-high 19 points on 6-of-8 shooting, and Adam Vogelsberg , who equaled his career high for points (19) and 3-point field goals made (5). Marcus Morrison tallied double figures for the seventh consecutive game with 12 points and Fats Cuyler finished with 11 points, five assists and no turnovers.
"I was very pleased with the way our team played tonight," said Middle Tennessee coach Kermit Davis, who moved into a tie with David Farrar for sixth on the all-time wins list at Middle Tennessee with 61. "We had some players step up in what was a very big game for us. We needed this win and our players responded."
Davis tinkered with the starting lineup, giving freshmen Kevin Kanaskie and Theryn Hudson their first career starts, and the rookies responded favorably. Kanaskie was sharp from start to finish, running the team exceptionally well and finishing with six points, a career-high six rebounds, five assists and only one turnover in a career-high 31 minutes of playing time.
The new-look starting lineup also bolstered the Blue Raider bench with Blue, Cuyler and Morrison coming off what suddenly was a deep and productive bench. The Blue Raider reserves were key as they outscored the Privateers by a whopping 48-9 margin. It is the most production Middle Tennessee has received from its reserves in the Davis era and the highest point production from the bench since the reserves tallied 48 against Bryan College in 2001-02 - a span of 136 games.
Middle Tennessee trailed 44-43 at the half as the Privateers (5-13, 2-5) shot 67 percent from the field, but the Blue Raiders held the visitors to 33 percent and only nine field goals in the second half as they broke the open.
Trailing 52-51 with 14:13 remaining, the Blue Raiders went on a 13-2 run during a two-minute span to take a 62-52 lead and never looked back.
Middle Tennessee will return to action when it plays host to two-time defending Sun Belt champion Louisiana-Lafayette Saturday at 7 p.m.
FINDING THEIR TOUCH: The key to Middle Tennessee's victory over New Orleans Thursday night was breaking out of an eight-game shooting slump. The Blue Raiders shot 58.0 percent (29-50) from the field, including a scorching 62.5 percent in the second half, to record their best shooting effort since the Florida Atlantic victory back on Dec. 21 (65.3 percent). The 58.0 percent shooting at home goes down as the best mark since hitting on 58.7 percent in a win over Western Kentucky on Jan. 4, 2003 - a span of 41 home games.
HOT FROM DOWNTOWN: Behind the accurate shooting of Adam Vogelsberg, Middle Tennessee shot a sizzling 61.9 percent (13-for-21) from three-point range in the win over New Orleans. That mark goes down as the fourth best percentage in a single-game in Blue Raider history, but the second-best mark of the season. Middle Tennessee connected on 65.0 percent of its treys in an earlier win over Florida Atlantic. Starting guards Vogelsberg and Kevin Kanaskie combined for 7 of 10 shooting from the arc for 70 percent.
BLUE SHINES IN VICTORY: Junior Tim Blue enjoyed coming back home to the Murphy Center. The forward turned in a career-high 19 points off the bench on 6-for-8 shooting to go along with five rebounds in 24 minutes. In his last two home games, Blue is averaging 17.5 points and has connected on 13 of 18 shots from the field.
BENCH COMES UP BIG: The Middle Tennessee bench came up big in the win over the Privateers on Thursday by outscoring the UNO bench, 48-9. The 48 points are the most by Blue Raider reserves in the Kermit Davis era and the most overall since they had 48 in the 2001-02 season opener against Bryan College - a span of 136 games.
SOLID IN FIRST START: True freshman Kevin Kanaskie made the most of his first collegiate start. The State College, Pa., native pulled down a personal-best six rebounds, equaled his career-high with five assists, and added six points. Kanaskie also played a career-best 31 minutes.
PLAYER OF THE GAME: Tim Blue was voted the Alexander Automotive Family Player of the Game against New Orleans by members of the working media.
TIDBITS: The 13 made three-pointers tonight by Middle Tennessee equaled the fifth most in school history ... Kevin Kanaskie and Theryn Hudson made their first collegiate starts tonight against New Orleans ... With six rebounds tonight, Kyle Young became the first player since Tommy Gunn (2001-04) to record at least 100 caroms in three straight seasons ... Calvin O'Neil came away with a career-best three steals ... Following a one-game suspension, Marcus Morrison came off the bench to score 12 points and grab five rebounds in just 17 minutes of action. Morrison has now scored in double figures seven straight games ... Reserve Wes Durrant saw action for the first time since Jan. 7 at WKU ... The 86 points tonight went down as the Blue Raiders' most since putting up 90 in a win over FAU back on Dec. 21.
Middle Tennessee Head Coach Kermit Davis
On Kevin Kanaskie
"I think Kevin Kanaskie was the MVP of the game from the standpoint of how he ran the team. The biggest reason is he had a great floor game but he showed charisma out there, he was encouraging guys and pumping his fists in a good way. That was something we needed.
"I thought Marcus Morrison was solid and I'll tell you someone who really lifted us up in the first half was Calvin O'Neil - three steals and really brought an energy level to us. His conditioning is getting better. We had three freshmen out there at times and that's good to build on. It's just a start but something positive to take to Saturday night's game."
Middle Tennessee forward Tim Blue
"I just wanted to be aggressive and Coach Davis said to approach the game as if it was an open gym game. I feel comfortable being free and being aggressive. My confidence was definitely higher and I just wanted to be aggressive so we could get the victory. It also makes it very easy when our guards are making shots."
Middle Tennessee point guard Kevin Kanaskie
"The guys did a great job of running the floor. My job was easy. I was excited to start, it being my first start, but I didn't feel any different out there."
On Coach Davis
"He was a little more laid back but he emphasized we needed to win."

Wednesday 10 October 2012
A late goal by Scott Sinclair for Manchester City secured a 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Barclays Under-21 Premier League.
Sinclair equalised from the penalty spot 10 minutes from time after Denis Suarez had been fouled in the area. The goal – the winger's first for the club since joining from Swansea City in the summer – cancelled out a header from Ronald Zubar that had given Wolves the lead in the 70th minute and gave the home crowd of more than 1,000 who had taken advantage of the free entry to the Etihad Stadium something to cheer them on their way home.
The result kept the visitors ahead of City in Group 3 in second place, one of the two spots guaranteed for passage into the knockout stage of the competition. Wolves are three points behind leaders Liverpool and four ahead of City, Middlesbrough and Fulham, who are all on seven points.

Following the Western New York premiere of "Waiting for Superman" last week, a panel discussion at the Amherst Dipson Theatre provided a forum for exchanging ideas about school reform here in Buffalo.
Panelists brought to the table a variety of experiences and perspectives: Superintendent James A. Williams; Buffalo Teachers Federation President Philip Rumore; Assemblyman Sam Hoyt (a vocal advocate of charter schools); Keith Frome, head of the middle school at King Center Charter School; and Joy McDuffie, a Buffalo parent and drop-out prevention activist.
The good news: No fights broke out (although things got heated between Hoyt and Rumore for a couple of minutes).
Even better news: This may be the start of something more. Hoyt offered to organize the next public conversation about school reform -- and Williams said he was on board with that, even suggesting it be held at Performing Arts.
The audio is available below, in two parts, so you can hear it all for yourself. The whole thing is just a bit over half an hour long. Our thanks to the organizers of the event, Buffalo ReformED, for letting us share their audio with you.
In case you can't crank up the volume to listen right now, here's a sampling of what you'll hear once you do have a chance to listen. I asked each of the panelists to share one success they've had in bringing positive change to local schools.
Williams talked about the former Seneca Vocational High School, which was closed and reopened as the Math Science Technology Preparatory School. He pointed to a longer school day and longer school year as essential to turning a school around.
Hoyt cited the state Legislature's adoption of the charter school law and subsequent lifting of the cap on the number of charters.
McDuffie said the city is sorely lacking success stories in preventing dropouts. She called for more programs to bring kids back to high school -- and the need for the community to adopt a "culture of learning."
Frome discussed King Center Charter School's use of data in better understanding and meeting the needs of each student.
And Rumore talked about the teachers union's role in establishing a scholarship fund for students.
Panelists also talked about how the educational landscape in Buffalo differs from what was depicted in "Waiting for Superman," and what they plan to do to continue working to improve local education.
Here's the first half of the discussion:

Linus Omark, waived by the Sabres last week and assigned to Rochester, has not reported to the Amerks, The News has learned.
Rochester held its first post-All-Star break practice this evening, and Omark did not join the team. The forward was expected to be present after clearing waivers Saturday.
The 27-year-old is on an Olympic vacation and not in the United States, agent Kevin Epp told The News by phone. The Swede previously said he would rather play in his homeland than the minor leagues.
"I'm not really sure what the exact next steps are," Epp said, "just trying to figure out where he can go, where they can reassign him, where they want to have him, where he's going to be best-suited for them and their situation."
Omark, acquired from Edmonton in December for a conditional sixth-round draft pick, spent 29 games with the Oilers' American Hockey League affiliate this season. He put up 14 goals and 29 points but told the organization he had no desire to spend the season in the minors and planned to return to Sweden. Faced with a Christmas deadline, the Oilers traded him to Buffalo.
Omark failed to score and totaled just two assists in 13 games with the Sabres. He was a regular scratch the past few weeks.
If Omark's wish is to play in Sweden, the Sabres could assign to him a European team. Due to transfer agreements, he cannot play without their consent.
"There's a chance they could assign him there," said Epp, who hopes to have a resolution in the next few days. "There's a chance he'll still report to Rochester and a chance they'll have him back in Buffalo. Who knows right now? It's kind of up in the air."

Paul is survived by his daughter, Becky Stilwell (Charles Force) of Bussey; one granddaughter, Tierra (Chad) Cowman of Bussey; and three great-grandchildren, Austin, Shelby and Keanu. Paul is also survived by many other family members and friends.

By MATT MILNER
Courier staff writer
---- — DES MOINES — While smoking cigarettes has increasingly fallen into disfavor nationally, electronic cigarettes have become a concern for some.
Electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes don't contain tobacco. Instead, they produce a nicotine vapor the user inhales. That means policies designed to prohibit tobacco use or possession, such as those that cover school properties, don't apply. And it means laws governing age limits on tobacco purchase come into question.
Tom Miller, the Iowa Attorney General, is a signatory on a letter sent by the National Association of Attorneys General to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration asking for regulations on e-cigarettes. The letter was signed by 36 state and three territorial attorneys general.
Miller said his concern is that the companies marketing the systems may use them as a vehicle to circumvent laws against tobacco purchases by minors.
"I'm concerned about this product, which is really nothing more than a nicotine delivery device," Miller said. "I don't think any reasonable person thinks it's okay for these companies to sell e-cigarettes to children, which is one of many good reasons why the FDA needs to act."
Miller also expressed concerns that advertising for the e-cigarettes can be construed as presenting a safer alternative to cigarettes. Nicotine itself is known to be addictive, he said in a press release, and e-cigarettes are new enough they have yet to face the careful studies that would determine whether they include harmful ingredients.
Sales of e-cigarettes have doubled every year since 2008 and are projected to reach $1.7 billion this year. Prices have fallen as they have become more popular, increasing availability.
The arguments presented by the attorneys general are similar in many respects to the arguments presented in past decades against tobacco companies. They accuse e-cigarette manufacturers of appealing to youth by using flavorings like chocolate and gummy bear, as well as cartoon characters in advertising.
In 2011 and 2012, the National Youth Tobacco Surveys conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, showed a sharp increase in e-cigarettes among students. Ten percent of high school students reported trying an e-cigarette in the previous year.
That use has raised concerns, as demonstrated during this week's meeting of the Ottumwa school board. Superintendent Davis Eidahl told board members the Iowa Association of School Boards has provided members with sample regulations to ban e-cigarettes on school property.

I have heard a rumor that FMH now plans to change the flow of traffic so that many employees coming and going from the hospital will use Elm Street. We lived on Elm Street when the deck was being constructed and recall the hospital's promise that employee traffic would not be routed via Elm Street. We still have family living there and own property there. Elm Street has become a street of young families. We are very concerned about the rumor and hope it is just that…..a rumor that you can put to rest for us. Please respond as soon as possible. We have some very strong feelings about this issue. Janice
Hi Janice,
Thank you so much for your comment. Rumors can take on a life of their own, so I appreciate the opportunity to address the parking issues that you raise. The hospital is asking the city to allow access to the parking garage from the Park Avenue side of the hospital. The hospital has met with the community through the NAC, and a task force of neighbors and hospital administration is working on developing optional entry and egress routes. Because of our location and the fact that we are growing rapidly to address the needs of our community, there simply has to be a way to get our expanding workforce in an out of the parking garage in a timely fashion. It is our hope that a suitable resolution to this issue can be found by working together with the city and our neighbors. The safety of our neighborhood children is a concern that we all share. We recently commissioned a third-party traffic engineering firm to help us study traffic patterns in and around the hospital, and we hope to have the results in hand shortly. We promise to keep the neighbors informed through the NAC as events unfold.

Too Big to Cheat: Efficiency and Investment in Partnerships
Many economic activities are organized as partnerships. These are ventures formed with capital contributions by partnership members that in exchange obtain a share of ownership. The design of the partnership rules dictates how much of the profits are distributed among the members and how much are reinvested. In this paper, we study the optimal design of partnerships under the assumption that one of the members (the founder) privately observes shocks to his liquidity needs. When the ownership share of the founder is large enough, private information is immaterial and the ownership structure remains constant over time. The founder has no incentives to misreport because a fraction of the increase in his payouts after reporting high liquidity needs is financed by disinvesting in the partnership. When the founder''''s ownership share is not big enough, the ownership structure of the partnership must vary over time to prevent misreporting. In the long run, only two possible outcomes have positive probability: Either (i) the ownership shares of the founder converge to zero (i.e., "immiserization," as in other models of private information), or (ii) the founder''''s share of the partnership becomes too big to cheat (i.e., his incentives to misreport vanish) and thus both partners own a constant positive share of the partnership forever.
