Labour as a utility measure in contingent valuation studies: how good is it really?
The Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) aims at the assessment of people's willingness to pay (WTP) for a public project. The sum of the individual WTPs is interpreted as the social benefits of the project under consideration and compared to the project costs. If the benefits exceed the costs the project is recommended for realization. In very poor societies budgets are so tight that households cannot give up any part of their income, i.e. of their market consumption, in favour of a public project, so that their WTP for that project stated in a CVM interview has to be zero or close to zero. This leads to a severe discrimination against poor regions in the decision process on the allocation of public funds. Therefore, several authors suggest to use labour contributions to the realization of a public project instead of monetary contributions as a measure of people's WTP for that project. In this paper we show theoretically and empirically, based on a CVM study conducted in Vietnam, that labour is severely flawed as a measuring rod for individual utility so that CVM based on labour contributions does not provide a reliable and meaningful decision rule for the allocation of public projects.

Michel Fabrizio picks up his first front row start since 2010, but the Red Devils Roma rider is disappointed to miss out on pole position.

Michel Fabrizio admits he cannot help but feel somewhat disappointed to miss out on pole position for the opening round of the 2013 World Superbike Championship season, even if he is starting on the front row for the first time since 2010.
The Italian was earmarked as the favourite to claim an unexpected pole position aboard the satellite Red Devils Roma Aprilia after pacing FP1, Q1 and Q2, but couldn't produce his best when it mattered during the final Superpole phase.
Fabrizio was still fast enough to secure third position on the grid, the first front row start for his Red Devils Roma team since its debut at the start of 2012, while the man himself will have no bike directly in front of him for the first time since Silverstone 2010.
Despite this, four-time WSBK race winner Fabrizio feels he had the form to challenge Carlos Checa's pole position and was disappointed not to go all the way.
"I'm not completely satisfied with my Superpole. After I had been in the lead in all the qualifying runs, I hoped to be awarded the Superpole, but I ruined it in a zone where until now I was very strong, that is the bend before the finish. Anyway the satisfaction remains for the excellent work done with my team and the third place means the first row.
"I expect two long and difficult races. I think that after mid-race we must bite the bullet because we have a good race pace, but on the other hand a lot will depend on the weather. I thank my team as also today they did a great job and a special thanks to those who believed in me."

In just a few years, the AMEC European Measurement Summit has grown from a small event in Berlin to a major forum for discussing communications evaluation, measurement, research and analytics.
In June, more than 200 measurement professionals from 35 countries met in Madrid for the 5th European Summit on Measurement.
"AMEC has truly come of age," said William M. Murray, CAE, PRSA's president and COO and a Summit speaker. "The 2013 Measurement Summit was a showcase for the resources and tools that are now available to practitioners to demonstrate the business impact of their work."
Here are a few highlights from Madrid:
In his keynote address, Rob Flaherty, my CEO at Ketchum, called for a move from principles to action. He referred to the Barcelona Principles as having set the foundation for measurement of our profession, but said we now need specific standards to put these principles into operation.
He asked that we all adopt the standards coming from the Coalition for Public Relations Research Standards. The Institute for Public Relations created the coalition in 2011 to develop measurement standards for the profession. Partnering organizations include AMEC, PRSA, the Council of PR Firms and the Global Alliance for PR and Communication Management. The group's ultimate goal is to create a framework that we can apply across all PR activities.
GE, GM, Philips, Southwest Airlines, Nissan, McDonald's and Cleveland Clinic are among those already onboard with the Coalition's guidelines. While not all the standards are complete, the agreement is to use the finished work to guide how we approach measurement in our profession.
As Flaherty said, now is the time for PR agencies of all sizes to reach a consensus with measurement standards.
We heard about plans to develop a new Global Education Programme at the European Summit. The Program, in which PRSA is a key partner, has two primary objectives:
Watch for more details of the Global Education Program in this column soon. Two parts are already in place, including:
The Summit theme took a practical "how to" approach to show the important role of analytics in providing key intelligence insights to senior company management, especially during an economic downturn. Speakers provided a variety of case studies.
Recognizing the need for better measurement of communications for non-governmental organizations (NGOs), attendees proposed that a new component of AMEC specifically focus on the challenges that they face. The proposal began with an idea from attendees at the Summit from UNICEF, CARE International and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Marguerite Marston, commercial public relations manager, IKEA U.S., discussed the organization's measurement journey and the need for simplicity. Her speech focused on how measurement needs to be simple and efficient to be relevant to her company.
To drive her point home, she showed a piece of IKEA furniture compared to a complex measurement dashboard; the effect and point could not have been clearer.

Russian leaders differ on Soviet model
MOSCOW — Prime Minister Vladimir Putin of Russia pointed at the Soviet model as an example of how various ethnic groups can have friendly ties, drawing a quick retort yesterday from the country's president in a rare sign of friction between the two leaders.
Putin's protege and successor as president, Dmitry Medvedev, countered him by saying that the Soviet experience was not exactly a positive one and it cannot be repeated, adding that Russia may learn from the United States.
The public exchange will likely fuel speculation about tensions between the two leaders as the nation approaches the 2012 presidential election.
Putin and Medvedev have denied any rift between them and said they would decide who would run for president in 2012 so that they do not compete against each other. Most observers expect that Putin, who remains Russia's most powerful figure, will reclaim the presidency.
Speaking at a Kremlin meeting focused on ways to assuage ethnic tensions that spilled into the open during riots outside the Kremlin on Dec. 11, Putin said Russia has failed to learn from the Soviet experience and called for cultivating Russian patriotism.
Speaking immediately after him, Medvedev said that the Soviet experience can't cannot be reproduced.
"Can we repeat what was done during the Soviet period?'' he said. "No, it's impossible. The Soviet Union was a state based on ideology, and, let's say it openly, quite a rigid one. Russia is different. We need to work out new approaches.''
During the Dec. 11 riots, soccer fans and racists chanting "Russia for Russians!'' clashed with police and beat members of ethnic minority groups from the Caucasus region.
The violence in Moscow raised doubts about the government's ability to control a rising tide of xenophobia, which threatens the country's existence.
While ethnic Russians make up four-fifths of Russia's population of 142 million, the country is also home to about 180 ethnic groups. The Caucasus region, with its mountainous terrain and isolated valleys, has residents of at least 100 ethnicities. That includes Chechens, who have waged two separatist wars against Moscow since the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991.
Putin suggested yesterday that the authorities might restore harsh Soviet era-restrictions on movement into big cities like Moscow or St. Petersburg. Such a move would target dark-complexioned people from the Caucasus, who flee their impoverished regions for big cities.
"We went for liberal rules of registration too early,'' Putin said.
Medvedev, however, warned against trying to isolate ethnic groups. "We can't block people from moving around the country, although we need to control that,'' he said. "We are a single country, and we must learn to live together.''
Medvedev warned that ethnic tensions could break Russia up if the government fails to stem violent nationalism and act more harshly to disperse riots.
"Interethnic conflicts are deadly dangerous for Russia,'' Medvedev said.

To avoid taking down my Christmas lights, I'm turning my house into an Italian restaurant.

While I was working as a store Santa, a boy asked me for an electric train set. "If you get your train," I told him, "your dad is going to want to play with it too. Is that all right?"
The boy became very quiet. So, moving the conversation along, I asked, "What else would you like Santa to bring you?"
He promptly replied, "Another train."

Book Given as Gift Actually Read
My friend reviewed her young son's fill-in-the-blank homework. One line: "At Christmas, we exchange gifts with ____."
His response: "Receipts."
As we were putting out cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve, I accidentally dropped one. "No problem," I said, picking it up and dusting it off before placing it back on the plate.
"You can't do that," argued my four-year-old.
"Don't worry. Santa will never know."
He shot me a look. "So he knows if I've been bad or good, but he doesn't know the cookie fell on the floor?"
My mother cast one of her students as the innkeeper for the Christmas pageant. All the third grader had to do was tell Joseph, "There is no room at the inn."
But during the performance—after Joseph begged for a room for his pregnant wife—the boy didn't have the heart to turn him down.
"Well," he said, "if it's so urgent, come on in."
A teenager waltzed into our jewelry store to buy a cross for her boyfriend. I showed her a selection, and she pointed to three: "Can I see that one, that one, and the one with the little man on it?"
"Oh," I replied. "You mean Jesus?"
Spotted outside a church in Michigan: "Honk if you love Jesus. Keep on texting while you drive if you want to meet him."
My wife took our three-year-old to church for the first time. Getting impatient while waiting for the Mass to start, he turned to her and asked, "What time does Jesus get here?"
Just as I began my Christmas Eve service, the electricity in the church failed. The ushers and I found some candles and placed them around the sanctuary. Then I reentered the pulpit, shuffled my notes, and muttered, "Now, where was I?"
A tired voice called out, "Right near the end!"
Three men die on Christmas Eve and go to heaven, where they're met by Saint Peter. "In order to get in," he tells them, "you must each produce something representative of the holidays."
The first man digs into his pockets and pulls out a match and lights it. "This represents a candle of hope." Impressed, Peter lets him in.
The second man pulls out a tangle of keys and shakes them. "These are bells." He's allowed in too.
"So," Peter says to the third man, "what do you have?"
The third man proudly shows him a pair of red panties.
"What do these have to do with Christmas?" asks Peter.
"They're Carol's."
Three buildings in town were overrun by squirrels—the town hall, the hardware store, and the church. The town hall brought in some cats. But after they tore up all the files, the mayor got rid of the predators, and soon the squirrels were back.
The hardware store humanely trapped the squirrels and set them free outside town. But three days later, the squirrels climbed back in.
Only the church came up with an effective solution. They baptized the squirrels and made them members. Now they see them only on Christmas and Easter.
For Christmas, I gave my kid a BB gun. He gave me a sweater with a bull's-eye on the back.
From an article on the Woolacombe Bay Hotel in Devon, England: "Their three-night Christmas break includes a packed program of family entertainment, a crèche, excellent cuisine, and a visit from Satan."
Worshippers are greeted by these words at the Travelers Rest Church: "Do Not Sit on Steps."
Two kids are on their way to Sunday school when one says to the other, "What do you think about this Satan stuff?"
"Well, you remember Santa? This could turn out to be your dad too."
A pastor I know of uses a standard liturgy for funerals. To personalize each service, he enters a "find and replace" command into his word processor. The computer then finds the name of the deceased from the previous funeral and replaces it with the name of the deceased for the upcoming one.
Not long ago, the pastor told the computer to find the name "Mary" and replace it with "Edna." The next morning, the funeral was going smoothly until the congregation intoned the Apostles' Creed. "Jesus Christ," they read from the preprinted program, "born of the Virgin Edna."
Unexpected guests were on the way, and my mother, an impeccable housekeeper, rushed around straightening up. She put my father and brother to work cleaning the guest bathroom. Later, when she went to inspect it, she was surprised that the once-cluttered room had been tidied up so quickly. Then she saw the note on the closed shower curtains. It read "Thank you for not looking in the bathtub."
Thanks! You're on our list.
And your life's about to get more interesting.

Reporter Jeff Valin interviews Alesha Fuller. Fuller is among the fast food workers striking to get their pay raised to $15 per hour. Why $15? Why not $20? Or $30? The level they're demanding is arbitrary.
Valin asks the single mom, "How much of a difference would it be to make $15 an hour for you?"
Fuller replies, "That would be a major difference. I will get a lot, a lot of things done that I really need done right now. And that $15 an hour, that would mean I would have to work a little less days instead of every day, all day."
You mean, like the rest of us?
At this point, I'll turn and deliver the Boring Guy's Minimum Wage Anecdote. In my junior year of college I was working a minimum wage job at a radio station when Congress hiked the minimum wage. Like most small market stations, ours existed on a tight budget. When the minimum wage got hiked, I survived and got a tiny pay raise but management fired several staff. They just couldn't afford to keep as many of us around. It wasn't management's fault. This happens every time the minimum wage gets hiked.
There wasn't any less work to do, by the way. There were just fewer people around to do the work we still had to do. I ended up picking up a few more hours, not less.
Fuller might be shocked to find out which side of the firing line she'll be on if her demands are met. But if those demands are met, there will be a firing line.
Reminder: Technology can replace those who price themselves out of jobs.

First off, a belated congratulate to Quetzal and Lila Downs for winning Grammy awards last week. I wrote about both their albums, Imaginaries and Pecados y Milagros last year. I've also written in the past about the other nominees, Ana Tijoux, Los Cojolites, Sistema Bomb and Carla Morrison. Speaking of Carla Morrison, you can now order her album, Dejenme Llorar from the Amoeba website. Amoeba is one of a handful of stores carrying the physical copy of her album. Dejenme Llorar was in
demand months before it was released and subsequently is one of Amoeba Hollywood's biggest Latin Music sellers over the last two months.
Another album that has been in demand has finally arrived as a domestic release.
Another album that has been in demand has finally arrived as a domestic release.
Bomba Estereo latest, Elegancia Tropical, was just released by Soundway Records. Elegancia Tropical was originally supposed to be released earlier last year by Warner Brothers before the band was dropped from the label. Unlike their previous album, Blow Up, which I loved instantly, Elegancia Tropical takes a few listens before sinking in. Once it does sink in, its a great listen, with a developed global sound that wasn't fully realized in their previous release. Unlike Blow Up, I tend to gravitate to the non-dance floor songs which are quite beautiful. However, the newer Kuduro influence dance tracks are pretty hot and I can see a completely sweaty dance floor erupting once these tracks are unleashed on the dance floor.
It's funny how Soundway Records, a label out of England, has become the "it" label for progressive World music, with excellent releases from Chico Mann, Batida, Bomba Estereo, Meridian Brothers, Ondatropica and Los Miticos Del Ritmo. as much as I like the reissues, it's always great to hear new sounds.

winchester model 94 lever stuck?
does the action have to be taken out?
oh boy
thanks for the help that is coincidentally non existent.
We ask that new people stop by introductions and tell us a little first.
Your question has too many variables. Is is stuck closed? With a round in chamber? Stuck open? Lever won't work? Stuck in the mud?
Please clarify. Thanks
Is there a case in the chamber? Can we get some details here?
Broken shell?!
My model 94 Winchester was the first one of 2 that I purchased in 1979 for
myself & 1 for Pop as we started deer hunting in 1980. I bagged my first 5
point, (not counting brow tines) on opening day of deer season. It was a mule deer, & we have never had a problem with our winchesters! "Need more
Did a cartridge pop out under the carrier? That's a common problem with older 94's.
As said more info is needed-
Gun loaded?
Were you tryin to chamber a live or spent round?
Stuck open or closed?
I'm sorry, but there is enough information from the OP for me.
I just fixed this a few weeks ago on a friends 94. The finger lever pin has backed out of the cartridge guide under recoil, preventing the action from levering back into battery. Remove the finger lever link screw, You will see the pin through the hole, and use a punch to tap it back in. This will restore function, so as to disassemble and replace the undersized pin, or, stake the original. My friend did not want to do this last step, as he was in a hurry for deer gun season. IMHO, it happened once, it will happen again if not properly fixed. His rifle is shooting away with no issues right now, but........
Go here for a guide to the parts I'm talking about:
Winchester Model 94 post 1964
That is the line I was thinking, but the OP should still explain what the problem is. Some people find out new info when the problem is reported in depth.
His question just could have been "My truck won't start. Why?" Then we have to play 1000 questions to him/her.
More explanation on his part will assist others who may have the same type of problem or what to look for.

Keeping things secure on the trail can be tricky, especially when you bash and slam your rig. One way to make sure you don't lose the juice is by adding a heavy-duty race battery box. Older battery hold-downs will eventually fail and can cause some serious damage to your vehicle.
Race Battery Box from Off-Road Warehouse
Race battery boxes are used and required by most rock-crawling and desert-race sanctioning bodies. It's not just another rule, but rather a proven safety feature that can save your machine and its passengers on rough trails. Let's face it, trashing around 30 pounds of dead weight under your hood or inside the cockpit can hurt if you get it in the kisser.
We talked to our friends at Off-Road Warehouse (ORW) about the battery project for our Toyota Land Cruiser. ORW offers different size and style race battery boxes that will hold down Odyssey and Optima Batteries. We already had a RedTop Optima Battery waiting back at the garage, so that helped the ORW staff narrow down our search.
Precision TIG welds and dimple-die cut outs help make this race battery box strong and worthy of an Optima Battery.
The hand-built 16-gauge race battery box from ORW is made of cold drawn steel featuring beautiful precision TIG welds and 1-3/4-inch dimple-die cut outs for added strength and weight reduction. The battery box fully encloses and secures the Optima 34/78 RedTop battery with a 1-inch lip on the sides and tapered flaps on the front/back sides that go the entire height of the battery.
|WHY OPTIMA? We really like Optima Batteries because of their performance. The Red Top Optima is a popular choice for off-road use thanks to its 1,000 Cranking Amps, fully sealed design and ability to withstand 15 times the vibration of a traditional battery—all part of their Spiralcell technology. In other words, they can deliver and take a beating on the trail.
We began by taking off the factory battery tray on our Land Cruiser to see what we had to work with underneath. To our great surprise, we found a beefy bracket that would work perfect as the foundation to our new heavy-duty race battery box.
After some measurements and test fitment, we decided that the original battery tray bracket attached to the frame would work perfect as a base for our race battery box. We were able to close the hood without any problems and had plenty of clearance from the engine. All we needed to do was weld on some tabs and drill some new holes to be able and fasten our race battery box.
Welding flat tabs to the existing battery tray bracket will give our new race battery box a solid foundation.
We removed as much of the rust as possible with our power grinder and a circular wire brush. Down to the metal, we then proceeded to weld two ProtoFab flat tabs that widen our battery bracket and accommodate the mounting holes machined on the bottom of our race battery box.
Next was drilling some new 10mm holes on the battery bracket plate to complete our four fastening points for the new heavy-duty race battery box.
To finish off the fab job, we sprayed some KRYLON Rust Tough Enamel on to the battery tray bracket and newly welded tabs. Ready to secure the race battery box—it's bolt time!
|The race battery box is secured to the Toyota with four heat-treated alloy steel M10 counter-sunk flat-head screws that exceed Grade 8 specs.
The race battery box has countersunk holes machined into the bottom. This design is intended to keep a flush surface for the battery to sit on. In order to take full advantage of this design, you need to use flat-head bolts.
I'll be honest, it wasn't easy finding these special bolts. We went to three autopart stores in town looking for them and had no luck. We finally were able to source them through FASTENAL.
Once the bolts and race battery box were fastened down using nylon lock nuts and washers, we were ready to drop in our Optima Battery. It fit snuggly in the box—just the way we wanted.
The race battery box from Off-Road Warehouse worked great for our Toyota Land Cruiser battery project. The heavy-duty construction and race-inspired design really sets off our engine bay. At around $50, this race-ready battery box is a good choice.
The race battery box from Off-Road Warehouse is universal, so it can easily be fitted to any vehicle with some slight modification. The raw metal finish does require maintenance but can easily be powder coated or painted.
All in all, this is a very nice piece that is both functional and will add safety to any serious off-road vehicle on the trail.
Even if our Land Cruiser gets turned upside down, this battery is staying put thanks to our race battery box.

Gazette Midday: Megantic charges expected this afternoon; MUHC bed hunt continues
Hello and welcome to montrealgazette.com and welcome to Midday. Here's the rundown on some of the stories we're following for you today.
Montreal, Maine and Atlantic and three of its employees are to be charged Tuesday with criminal negligence causing death in connection with the Lac-Mégantic derailment. Forty-seven people died after a runaway MMA crude oil train derailed and exploded there on July 6, 2013. Millions of litres of crude oil spilled in the accident. Thomas Harding, the lone engineer in charge of the train, was arrested Monday, along with MMA employees Jean Demaître and Richard Labrie, said Jean Pascal Boucher, a spokesperson for Quebec's director of criminal and penal prosecutions. The three men detained by the Sûreté du Québec are to appear in Lac-Mégantic Tuesday afternoon to be formally charged, Boucher said. According to a search warrant obtained by the SQ in July, Demaître was MMA's manager of train operations and Labrie was MMA's railway-traffic controller at the time of the accident.
The Montreal Health and Social Services agency is scrambling to find hospital beds and other resources to adapt to the reality that the new superhospital of the McGill University Health Centre will have more than 100 fewer beds that what is currently available. The $1.3-billion superhospital is set to open in 11 months — April 26, 2015 — and health agency officials are now contacting community hospitals to try to take on some of the MUHC's patients. But that's proving to be difficult as other local hospitals are already overloaded. "It's something that has been known for several years — the fact that the health network will have to support the MUHC," said Vincent Lehouillier, director of institutional affairs and human resources at the agency. "We want to reduce to a minimum the impact on patients." The redeveloped MUHC will include the superhospital and the Montreal General, and together they will have 832 short-term beds. That's 107 fewer beds than what is at present available at the Montreal General, the Royal Victoria and Montreal Chest hospitals — the latter two of which will close to make way for the superhospital.
"Super beam" did its job. Now, it's time for a less intrusive device to shore up the Champlain Bridge. On a barge tied to a dock on the St Lawrence Seaway dike, workers are preparing the 57-metre-long, 50-tonne modular truss that will soon replace the super beam. On scaffolding hanging under the Champlain, more hardhatted workers are prepping the bridge's underside for the truss installation. The super beam was an urgent but temporary solution to the dangerous cracks found on a beam holding up a section of the Champlain in November. Officials say the cracks have not worsened since the 75-tonne steel beam was installed. The new steel truss should do the work of the cracked beam until a new bridge opens in 2018, said Jean-Vincent Lacroix, a spokesperson for the Jacques-Cartier and Champlain Bridges Inc.
Quebec just has to hire its own youth and unemployed instead of relying on temporary foreign workers, federal Employment Minister Jason Kenney said Monday. The province is seeking an exemption to a federal moratorium so restaurants in the province can hire such workers. Kenney told the Commons the moratorium was imposed to protect Canadians who are looking for work. The federal minister pointed out that 14 per cent of Quebec youth are unemployed as are 20 per cent of new arrivals to the province. Ottawa announced the moratorium in late April after reports suggested the program was being abused by the food-service industry. A spokesman for Quebec Immigration Minister Kathleen Weil said on the weekend the province has no problem with the program and that restaurants need temporary foreign workers to keep operating, especially in summer.
A Nigerian government official said "all options are open" in efforts to rescue almost 300 abducted schoolgirls from their captors as U.S. reconnaissance aircraft started flying over this West African country in a search effort. Boko Haram, the militant group that kidnapped the girls last month from a school in Borno state, released a video Monday purporting to show some of the girls. A civic leader said representatives of the missing girls' families were set to view the video as a group later on Tuesday to see if some of the girls can be identified. According to a senior defence official in Washington, the U.S. is using a manned MC-12 surveillance aircraft, which is based in Niger, to conduct missions in Nigeria. In addition to the turboprop model which has seen heavy use in Afghanistan, U.S. officials are also considering the use of drones. At this point the surveillance missions are not continuous.
And finally, Chris Hadfield, the legendary spaceman, musician, speaker, writer and photographer is about to lose one of his thrones: YouTube will officially take down his famous Space Oddity video on Tuesday when the copyright lease from David Bowie expires. Hadfield made the announcement on Twitter on Tuesday morning that the first music video shot in space would be going offline on Tuesday. Bowie's last day – we had permission for a year, so our Space Oddity video comes down today. One last look: youtube.com/watch?v=KaOC9d…— Chris Hadfield (@Cmdr_Hadfield) May 13, 2014
The video garnered more than 22 million views on YouTube and was the first music video shot in space toward the end of his stint as the first Canadian commander of the International Space Station. Hadfield became a national and international celebrity during his time aboard the space station for his remarkably candid Twitter feed and stunning photos of Earth with near-poetic caption writing. Hadfield's son, Evan, helped to manage his social media presence and was his liaison with earthbound media. It's unclear at exactly what time the video will be going offline, so get your final viewing in while you still can. It's not often, after all, that a music video is shot in space.

Hmmm, looks like the route description went to the ozone layer ?
Climb the obvious wide chimney left of Jaberwocky.
Go deep back in there. At the top of the chimney there's an arching crack out right. (You can see this from the campground actually.)
From the top of the chimney, I suspect you can go left onto the wandering original route up the dome.
Chimney is knee butt with no pro and a slightly hinky move in the middle as there's a small roof that causes the size to step down. I think you might get some gear in above this move. But it's pretty straight forward climbing.
Upper crack is pretty cool 5.8 and puts you on top of the Abra summit. (NOTE, not the true dome summit, but top of Abra.) Still have to do that last nasty boulder bit to tag the real summit.
I'd raved about this arching crack to Steiger and convinced him to go up there. "Good Zzzzs" because we were on top by 10 AM or so and ended up getting sun burned from napping on the summit area. So what I was expecting to be another test piece turned out to be probably the easiest way to the top of the Rockfellow dome.
I've heard that Gary Gray might have climbed this in the 79/80 but I don't know about that. We didn't see any signs of a previous ascent but that doesn't mean much. The climbing was well within Gary's abilities. From the top of the long chimney (I can't recall if that was only 1 pitch but I think it was) I suspect you could go left onto the original McCoomb route (I'm forgetting the name of that one at the moment, the original line to the summit.)

|Paul, is the original route to the summit "The Labyrinth" ?
By Paul Davidson
Feb 25, 2009
Yes, that is it.
Guess I should have consulted Kerry:
"This is a convoluted 5 to 6 pitch chimney route up the west side of Rockfellow Dome. It is notable as the first ascent of the Rockfellow massive."
Dave Baker, Joanna McComb, Dan Jones, 1973
I also recall Dave and Fig doing some grand traverse that started up the Labyrinth and traversed across all summits (or most summits?)
Edit: Aleix, FWIW - pretty sure think is not the Labyrinth. it's on the N side of the main Rockfellow dome, not the west side. Sorry for the confusion.
I think it might come close to the Lab when you get up at the end of the first pitch and if you kept going. The 5.8 crack is not part of the Lab.

Most of us have heard about the various benefits of listening to Bach and Mozart while pregnant, but what do we know about the effects of music on children during their early development? Howard Gardner, renowned Professor of Cognition and Education at Harvard University believes that 'musical intelligence' is of equal importance to logical and bodily intelligence. In fact, the first six years of a child's life is the most critical period in their musical development because their neural pathways are still being wired, and they are willing to engage in play while making music. Recent studies have shown that if children are not exposed to music in any consistent way during this period, the potential for developing a key neural component is lost. So, how can we, as parents, capitalize on this developmental period?
We can start by exposing our children to music of all sorts, either through radio in the car, music at home, and when possible, live performances. Seeing performers work their craft, be they singers, guitar players or concert pianists, enlivens curiosity in any child. Most of us can recall some magical musical moments in our lives, and the power of music to return us to a specific memory is tangible. Attending a live performance has the potential to create such moments for our children and encourage them to develop their own musical intelligence and tastes.
Children Making Music
We can also offer our kids musical training, giving them a chance to experience making music for themselves. Not only do children benefit from the process of mastering the basics of an instrument and developing the technical skills involved, they also learn about the satisfaction of watching their efforts yield a positive result over time. If they are able to play or sing with other children, then they also learn about collaboration and common goals. When you add them up, these various benefits are irreplaceable and unique to musical training.
How do we choose a musical instrument and music lessons? My husband and I have decided to start our own young daughter with the violin using the Suzuki method, but this is a personal decision. Shin'ichi Suzuki, a Japanese violinist, believed that children as young as four and five could become skilled musicians if their instruments were scaled down and they were taught at the right difficulty level. The Suzuki method has become so popular that it has been adapted for making music with many other instruments, including piano, guitar, flute, and even voice. Perhaps more interesting still is that Suzuki believed that he was engendering his students with 'noble hearts', saying, "I want to make good citizens. If a child hears fine music from the day of his birth and learns to play it himself, he develops sensitivity, discipline and endurance. He gets a beautiful heart."
Musical Resources in Vancouver
Whether you decide to go with the Suzuki method or another method, there are many options in the Lower Mainland to let your kids experience making music. For individual lessons, consider the Vancouver Academy of Music or the Place des Arts in Coquitlam. It is also possible to take music lessons through retailers like Long & McQuade, who sell musical instruments and also have their Music Education Centre in North Vancouver. Alternatively, the Suzuki Association has a "Find a Teacher" function on their website. And, thanks to the likes of Ebay and Craigslist, an affordable violin or flute is only a click away.
Exposing your child to live music can be hard. Kids aren't always welcome at concerts, plus tickets can be expensive. There are some great local options for giving your kids a chance to hear others making music. The Vancouver Symphony hosts regular Tiny Tots concerts, which are specifically designed to engage young children. Also, keep your eye out for concerts that take place in churches, as they're usually less formal than events in concert halls. Finally, my own organization, Culture Babes, organizes cultural visits for parents and tots. In fact, we are hosting out first classical music concert on Sunday, February 26, 2012, called Treasures of the Czech Classical Tradition. It will be performed by Roger Mangas, on violin and Monika Pfau, on piano, at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts in Burnaby. Roger and Monika have spent a significant amount of time in the archives and libraries of Prague and Vienna and they will be performing music that they have discovered during the course of these explorations. Following the concert, they will be available to discuss early musical training, and answer any questions that you might have about different techniques and methods.
Musical education and the opportunities to expose our children to music have changed a lot since we were kids. Also, our understanding of the benefits of musical education has advanced significantly. As parents, we want to be sure that making music plays a part in our children's lives. Who knows? We might be tempted to re-start music lessons ourselves and re-forge those lost neural pathways!
Hilary Letwin lives with her daughter and husband in Port Moody. She works as an art historian, specializing in Renaissance art history. She set up Culture Babes as a way to meet other parents interested in taking in cultural events with their children. For more information about Culture Babes and the February 26th concert, which will be in Studio 102 at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts in Burnaby, please visit www.culturebabes.ca.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- The postseason begins Wednesday for the Saint Mary's women's tennis team as the Gaels start their quest for a fifth straight trip to the NCAA Tournament with a first round match at the West Coast Conference Championships at San Diego's Barnes Tennis Center.
After earning the No. 3 seed in this year's tournament, Saint Mary's begins play at 3 p.m. when it squares off against No. 10 Pacific. The Gaels finished third in the WCC standings this season with a 6-2 conference record and finished the regular season 12-7 overall. Pacific comes to the tournament with an overall record of 8-14 and the Tigers went 1-8 in conference.
Saint Mary's finished the regular season on a high note, beating Santa Clara 5-2 last Friday in the final home match of 2014. The day was especially significant for seniors Jade Frampton, Jenny Jullien and Audrey Leitz as Frampton clinched the win and Jullien scored the final point.
The Gaels also received a big round of kudos from conference coaches when the All-WCC teams were announced Monday. Jullien was named the WCC Player of the Year for the second year in a row, and was joined on the first team by teammate Jamie Pawid. Frampton and Catherine Leduc each earned honorable mention and in doubles, Jullien and Parminder Kaur were named to the first team. Frampton and Danielle Flores were named honorable mention.
Pacific comes to San Diego looking to provide a positive final impression on its season. The Tigers have lost six in a row entering this week's action, with their last victory coming March 29 against Portland. When Saint Mary's and Pacific met on April 5, the Gaels won at No. 1 and 3 doubles before taking five of six singles matches to win by a final of 6-1.
If Saint Mary's wins Wednesday, the Gaels move on to Thursday's quarterfinal round where they will play either No. 6 San Francisco or No. 7 Gonzaga at 12:30 p.m. For updated brackets and news and notes from the tournament, visit WCCSports.com.


text: Our research focuses on the development and consequences of social learning in early childhood. Specifically, we explore the nuanced interplay between two critical components of early learning: the capacity to learn important information about the world by making inductive inferences on the basis of limited evidence, and the ability to flexibly and selectively learn from others. By investigating this interplay across several important areas of learning—causal reasoning, inductive generalization, categorization, and normative judgment—as well as over the course of development, we hope to generate broad conclusions about how early cognitive development is fundamentally shaped both by the social context in which it occurs, and by children's developing social cognitive capacities.

Why a Pretty Party Doesn't Have To Be An Expensive One
Going back through the Aqua & Orange Baby Shower shoot I featured yesterday got me thinking. I spend a lot of time on the web and thumbing through magazines, drooling over parties, weddings, and plenty of beautiful things I cannot afford. It can feel a little defeating to the average person on a budget. Sure, a $100,000 party is usually gorgeous, but a $100 party can be too. Take a look at the details of our shoot, then take heart!
First off, the food: It's wonderful when you can spend $1000 on a custom cake, but don't overlook your local grocery store. When Jacin's handmade cupcakes met with tragedy, a quick trip to Safeway and a color request brought us these beauties. Even powdered sugar Donettes from the box look lovely on a decorative cake stand. The little jar of candy on the table? $2 jellied orange slices from Walgreens. Instead of paying extra for elaborate custom designs, focus on color and presentation to pull off a designer look. No food is too mundane to be pretty—just look at our clementines!
For more custom touches on the cheap, DIY when you can. Make your own tags for favors, your own favors if you can, and try your hand at decor. I learned to sew just to make stuff for parties. Those owls? They're the first sewing project I've ever completed, not counting one very ugly catnip toy I made my cat. Buy flowers on the cheap (farmers markets, Trader Joe's) and arrange them yourself.
Finally, ask around! Sure, you may not be friends with someone who owns a vintage prop rental company, but all of your friends have homes or apartments, and they've probably filled them with some good-looking stuff. That teal cupcake stand? Spotted it at a friend's house. Mason jars? Just ask a mother or grandmother. Borrow table clothes, serving bowls, even throw pillows or blankets if they fit the theme/color scheme. Each little detail adds to the next to give you a look that encompasses an entire room.
What are your tips for saving money when you throw a party?

Aqua and Orange Baby Shower!!
I'm so thrilled to share these photos!! You may have seen this party last week via Courtney at Pizzazzerie, who kindly featured our shoot. Working with some amazing folks—Kara Kull of How Fab and Delightfully Engaged, Jacin Fitzgerald of Lovely Little Details, Amanda Reapsummer of One True Love Vintage Rentals, and photographer Gavin Farrington—I had an amazing time putting together this Aqua & Orange themed baby shower. Our dear Kara is pregnant, you see, and when I heard that, I knew it was time to rally the troops and put together a beautiful photo shoot in her honor.
It all started with this Anthropologie shower curtain. Kara is using it as a curtain in the baby's nursery. Add to that the inspiration board I put together here, and an owl cookie jar my husband bought me, and we had the start of a charming little party! The group then brainstormed the look of the party via email and had a final meet-up to decide what everyone would bring to the shoot.
Amanda provided tons of vintage props for the day, from pitchers to mason jars. She had the amazing teal suitcase we filled with baby clothes. She also happened to have a beautiful aqua and orange tin, as well as all sorts of fun vases and compotes.
Talented mother-to-be, Kara, made these adorable favor bags full of handmade frosted animal crackers. Love it! She also made a gorgeous (and tasty) rustic peach tart. Can you believe she just happened to have this lovely orange frame hanging empty on the wall? It was meant to be!
Major points go to Jacin, who painstakingly created dozens of mini cupcakes with orange ruffled frosting, only to accidentally leave them on her trunk on the way over. Poor girl. It was a cupcake-tastrophe when she drove away, and she rallied to get us these beautiful cupcakes instead. She even got Safeway to paint them the perfect orange! Jacin also artfully arranged the flowers, using tulips, ranunculus, and baby's breath.
What really made this baby shower look so good? The outrageously gorgeous photography of Gavin Farrington. Gavin was a good sport to put up with all of our styling and re-styling as we obsessed over every little detail.
As for my own contributions, I went crazy with my sewing machine. I whipped up the bunting you see in the frame, along with another 3 yards of flags not seen in the photos. I also sewed the three stuffed owls. Finally, I decided that rather than buy a new cake stand, I'd give one of mine a makeover with a ruffled cake stand skirt! I'm planning to make more, so look for a tutorial to come on Host-It Notes (someday).

I'm a total sucker for this colorful little burro character from Bird's Party Shop's printable Mexican fiesta design. Wouldn't this be fun for Cinco de Mayo? Check out the rest of the fiesta here. While I was browsing Bird's shop, I found a few more printable party sets I like, including this strawberry party and the Bollywood set (below).

Vintage Yellow Decor Set
This great find was lurking in the wedding decor section of The Funky Shack's shop on Etsy. I say, liberate it from the wedding world! This is perfect for any romantic party. First of all, I adore the "Love" cake topper/decoration piece—The Funky Shack has loads more of this design. And the lemony yellow color makes me melt! Can't you just picture these pieces sprinkled throughout a gauzy country garden party? Make it happen!
If you like this, you'll groove on the rest of the stuff Funky Shack has to offer: barn wood frames, a unique cake table and a totally respectable cupcake display.

Fabric Easter Eggs by Retro Mama
This one's a bit of an oldie, but the project is new to me. So is the blog, Retro Mama, but you can bet it's one I'll be following now. The author, Kim, is someone I'm already dying to go fabric shopping with—she clearly finds the best stuff. Just look at that measuring tape fabric! Anyhoo, the eggs. They're fabric, gorgeous, look fairly easy to make, and I love them. I'm guessing you might too. You can find Kim's tutorial, along with her pattern, here.

Cake Stand Love: A Fabulous Fete
Just spotted a sweet little shop on Etsy with some brightly colored cake stands. You can find these beauties at A Fabulous Fete. They have wooden mini cupcake stands ($10) as well as a 9" cake stand version ($20), and are shown in red, yellow, green and blue, but it sounds like custom colors are an option. Normally a look like this makes we want to get all DIY on the project, but for $10 a pop these seem fairly reasonable if you consider supply costs and your own time spent. Either way it's definitely worth sharing! While we're on the subject, I also like this table runner they have for sale.

Just when you think you've seen everything when it comes to cake balls, here's an idea that takes cake balls in their simplest form—just color, no shapes—and turns them into something brilliant. Paper & Cake have put together a rainbow colored Artist Party Collection I love, and their cake balls take the place of paint in their pretty white palettes. P&Cs customizable paint-splattered paper goods make throwing this party look easy. My question to Paper & Cake, though, is if the artist palettes are not included, where can I find them? Love 'em!

Long Beach, CA, United States, 2010/06/29 - Latest version redefines manufacturing Business Process Management with advanced blueprinting and prototyping capabilities and new user interfaces for greater productivity and flexibility. Euronext: #13065; DSY.PA
Apriso®, a leading provider of manufacturing software solutions for sustained manufacturing operational excellence, today announced availability of FlexNet® version 9.5. This significantly enhanced version of Aprisos FlexNet represents the next generation of Business Process Management (BPM) for manufacturers. Apriso has enhanced collaboration between corporate IT and manufacturing while accelerating implementation and engineering change through an Agile implementation methodology.
This latest release of FlexNet helps cross-functional teams better collaborate through improved role separation, advanced blueprinting and prototyping capabilities, stated John Fishell, vice president of product management at Apriso. Simply stated, new manufacturing processes can be easily mapped, prototyped and evaluated by business users to ensure business objectives are met. These new processes may be implemented locally or globally through a Center of Excellence, accelerating the time to value and effectiveness of continuous process improvement. No other BPM solution enables an Agile implementation and change methodology.
Apriso customers are now reaping the benefits of synchronized global manufacturing. For example, an industry-leading consumer goods manufacturer now performs Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) as often as three times a week, impacting operations spanning production, warehousing and quality across 20+ plants for improved operational performance, higher quality and greater profitability. Further, a large Automotive Powertrain customer is now implementing Apriso at 4 sites per month, benefiting from an accelerated time to value of their FlexNet IT investment.
Expanded capabilities of FlexNet 9.5 include:
Advanced blueprinting and prototyping features that support an Agile approach to continuous process improvement;
Improved monitoring and process visualization for multi-plant deployments to accelerate new product introductions;
Enhanced Manufacturing Process Management (MPM) capabilities to ease the management of processes extending across a manufacturers operations;
Better tracking and monitoring of business process lifecycles for improved process governance and a lower total cost of compliance;
Redesigned User Interface (UI) for reduced project risk and greater productivity.
As the only provider of native BPM-based manufacturing software solutions, Apriso understands not only the need for greater flexibility, but also the importance of governing and tracking process changes on an end-to-end basis. Aprisos FlexNet has always utilized a native BPM architecture, so operations processes can easily span across production, quality, warehouse, labor and maintenance operations. Further, by leveraging a unified data model, these processes can be easily replicated across multiple locations to establish and maintain global standards and best practices.
Unlike past approaches to process management, BPM recognizes that today's business markets are global and more unpredictable than in the past. The time frame (or durability) of operational best practices is shorter, driving more-frequent adjustments to better respond to changing market dynamics. While process efficiency and effectiveness are still key goals, process agility the ability for a business to adapt to changing conditions is paramount, explains Michelle Cantara, Research Vice President at Gartner, in her Research Index: A Guide to Principles of Business Process Management, published September 8, 2009.
About Apriso
Apriso Corporation (apriso.com) is a software company dedicated to providing competitive advantage for its customers. It does so by enabling organizations to adapt quickly and easily to market changes and unexpected events. Aprisos FlexNet platform provides visibility, adaptability and real-time control of manufacturing operations across the enterprise and supply chain network.

I had an unexplained red swelling on my forehead a year ago and when it finally subsided, it left these ugly indent scars on my forehead. Whats the best way to fix this? Can some kind of filling or graft be used to fill in the indent? There's no pain or sensitivity in that area BTW Appreciate your responses.

Indented scars on forehead
Hi, there are several ways to improve indented scars. As you mentioned fillers are an option but will only temporarily plump up the scars and you will need to re-inject them every so often. Grafting is not a good idea in that area. Lasers can also be used to help remodel and soften the scars. In my experience this would be the best way to approach these types of issues. I would recommend seeing someone with advanced training in lasers such as a dermatologist.

Glee S2 Ep.17 Recap ft. Gwyneth Paltrow & Charice: A Night of Neglect
Facebook.com – Become a Fan! Twitter.com – Follow Us! Charice made a big return to Glee last night, while another guest star said good-bye. Keep on watching for the full story! I'm Joslyn Davis at the ClevverTV headquarters in Hollywood with a recap on the latest episode of Glee, "A Night of Neglect." The amazeballs factor on the show went through the roof with appearances from both Charice, who returned as New Directions' top competition Sunshine Corazon, as well as Gwyneth Paltrow, who did her thing as Mr. Shue's noncommittal substitute-teaching-girlfriend. A Night of Neglect followed the Glee clubbers as they attempted to raise some serious moolah for their big trip to New York, as well as for an another academic competition club that Mike, Artie, Brittany and Tina are a part of. The big group, led by Mr. Shuester puts on a big benefit show with plans to perform songs from artists that have been neglected, which Sunshine tries to be a part of, until Sue finds out and foils the plan. But that's after we get to hear Charice totally kill it with her take on Celine Dion's hit-song "All By Myself." Ultimately, the Night of Neglect is a total mess, because after Sunshine ditches the performance none of her promised-attendees show up. With about 5 people in the audience the fundraiser is a bust, but we still got some amazing performances specifically from Mercedes, who while channeling her inner Aretha Franklin, has a slight lapse into diva-like-behavior. We also get to see a …

Figure skater Sasha Cohen of Laguna Niguel, whose balletic grace propelled her to a second-place finish at this year's U.S. Championships and fourth place at the Salt Lake City Olympics, has left longtime coach John Nicks to work with Tatiana Tarasova and Nikolai Morozov in Newington, Conn.
Cohen will announce the switch today in a conference call with reporters.
Tarasova's most recent triumph was guiding Alexei Yagudin to the men's gold medal at Salt Lake City. She previously coached Olympic and world medalists Ilia Kulik, Irina Rodnina and Alexander Zaitsev, Marina Klimova and Sergei Ponamarenko, Shae-Lynn Bourne and Victor Kraatz, Barbara Fusar-Poli and Maurizio Margaglio, and Oksana Grischuk and Evgeny Platov.
She and Morozov are known for devising compelling choreography, a chore Cohen and Nicks had handled. She's also known for her political pull, a key asset in a sport swayed by personal influence and based on subjective judging. Two fellow Russians, Alexander Lakernik and Alexandr Gorshkov, head the International Skating Union's powerful technical committee and ice dance committee, respectively.
Nicks and Cohen had consulted Tarasova and Morozov this summer and agreed Cohen would occasionally polish her programs under their guidance. However, Cohen apparently decided training with them full-time would accelerate her progress.

Books Galore
How do we choose?
The bibliographies and book collections in this section contain books chosen from among the thousands of books published annually for children. How do we determine which books we will include on our lists? In making our decisions we do, of course, have some criteria in mind:
Does the book have an attractive format, cover, and design? Is the writing engaging? Are the photographs or illustrations inviting, and do they add to the text? Is the information in the book clear, accurate, and up-to-date? Does the book address an intriguing or unusual topic or take an interesting perspective on a topic? Is the book equitable and diverse? Does the book inspire critical or creative thinking?
Our lists will include some of the books and authors that you have come to love and depend on. But the lists also include some of the newer voices in the field of children's science trade books. Occasionally, we will select a particular unit or theme, and will choose to include only newer publications, as is the case with our thematic look at the seasons. Sometimes, as was the case with our rocks unit of study list, we have tried to include the best books, regardless of their publication date. But in all instances, we try to include only those books which are still either in-print or available from local lending libraries. We also try to approach each unit of study or theme from as many angles as possible, so that these lists might serve a number of varied needs for as many classrooms as possible.
Our lists are not exhaustive ones. You may, in fact, read our suggestions and wonder why a favorite book is missing from a particular bibliography. You might also have a suggestion for a unit of study, an author, or a theme. If so, send an email to email@example.com.

If you read my "Opinions, please" blog post from a few weeks back, about the Lone Star Quilt I'm making for my niece, you might be wondering how it is coming along. I got all the diamonds pieced, and started adding strips of white and black to the edges of them, then I decided to collect a few more opinions, this time about what fabric to use for the background squares. I had purchased a busy black & white floral that I was pretty sure would be perfect, but it wasn't. So I dug in my stash and found a tone-on-tone blue. I also thought perhaps I should consider buying yardage of a bright red floral. Here are those three choices being auditioned.
I asked for opinions here at work, and got a variety of votes/suggestions, including this one of using a different bright floral for each square.
I kind of liked that idea, but found I didn't have enough big pieces in my stash to pull it off, without buying more, so I'm going to go with the "path of least shopping", and use the blue, then add more bright floral pieces for the border.

The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) has launched an initiative called Aircraft Cabin Environment Technologies (ACET) to develop, apply and evaluate technologies for healthy and comfortable aircraft cabin environments in pressurized fixed-wing aircraft. Key areas for technology development include acoustics, lighting, ventilation, indoor air quality and health. "NRC does research for companies that contract with them. It's a government agency staffed with researchers and has expertise in various fields, including aerospace. The council has extensive facilities including wind tunnels, icing tunnels and aerodynamic labs," a spokesman told AIN. NRC comprises more than 20 institutes and national programs, spanning a wide variety of disciplines. The NRC Institute for Aerospace Research (NRC Aerospace) is managing the cabin technologies initiative. NRC is interested in partnering with companies from the aerospace sector to develop the next generation of aircraft environmental technologies that will enhance passenger and flight crew experience while potentially reducing aircraft construction and operating cost.
