Working on the side can be pleasurable.
Art sat at the bar slowly rocking to the sad country music playing while he nursed his beer. It would have to be his last one because he'd spent his last dollar.

I met Star last week, on a brilliantly cold night when he and his fellow Occupiers were huddled together in front of City Hall's cul-de-sac. At our first meeting, he confided to me that his plan for changing the world involves vilifying the rich to the point that their wives withhold sex.
"People will hate them so much," said Star, "that when they come home from work, their kids will say, 'Daddy, why do you suck so much?'"
This morning Star is festive, wearing a Christmas sweater and carrying a guitar slung over his shoulder. I ask him about the recent City Council decision to delay a vote on the Occupation's presence in the plaza.
"It's a blessing," Star says. He seems to be a generally positive fellow. The other Occupiers keep more to themselves, playing Spades at a table, smoking cigarettes in their camping chairs. The morning is pleasantly warm, but everyone here is wearing coats.
One man who does not identify himself asks me to get a message out to my readers: Aliens who harvested dinosaur embryos from Earth thousands of years ago will be returning in 2111, and will establish a dinosaur sanctuary in Australia. He says he learned this information from his dog, who talks to him.
All this dismays another man named Barry, who says he has traveled here from other cities' Occupy protests to help organize the movement. He believes the conduct of the Occupy Asheville group damages the movement's image.
"These people are just taking up space," he says, adding that he will soon be moving on to Columbia, S.C. "I want to go where people actually care."
Barry's comments generate a round of boos from the other Occupiers. One in particular is Christopher, a regular figure in downtown Asheville who has in the past run for City Council. Christopher tells the Occupiers that they are distracting the public from his goal of helping the homeless. As I watch, he and Star have a heated exchange.
Barry (left) and Christopher.
As the argument continues, the rest of the camp is strangely quiet. Most people are still in their tents, which occasionally bulge with their occupants' movements. Through the open door of one tent, a man jokingly gestures with a very large knife. No one seems to take notice. A man who arrived on a baby-blue bicycle, hauling a Fischer Price trailer full of consumer electronics, shakes as he listens to the conversation.
I take off. Part of the myopia of the press is that we listen most to outrageous voices, simply because they are outrageous. It's the old adage about the squeaky wheel that the Argus is designed to avoid. It is easy to take good photos of strangely-dressed protesters talking about dinosaur embryos, but the city is full of other stories.
In Chicken Alley I find a skeletal piano, stripped of any function but art, and a young woman named Molly who is touching up a mural she painted on the alley wall. Circling above the tourists and holiday shoppers on Biltmore, the pigeons seem almost eager to have their picture taken. One of their number has come to a bloody end in the street.
So yes, the city is full of stories. Satisfied that I've covered them as best I can, I'm walking back up College Street when I hear a squeaking behind me. It's the the shaky man from the Occupy camp. He's lurching past on his bike, carrying his unusual cargo.

Dean Koontz, The Face was an incredible book. It's quite long, but never laborious.

Dean Koontz, The Face - Fifth Koontz book, (just finished The Taking which was fair-good). The Face is disappointing, confusing and hard to follow due to the relentless, run-on, boring details, and due to the scattered plot. Abandoned book half way through, my 1st. Does not captivate the reader. Too much filler, not enough thriller. As if this book was written by a "Koontz wanna-be" who just could not seem to tie things together. All characters have odd names as if living in "Whoseville",... (read more)

"Now the stage is bare, and I'm standing there, with emptiness all around." – Elvis Presley…"Are You Lonesome Tonight"
I can imagine Hershey GM Doug Yingst standing on the center ice dot with a loose tie and an empty bottle of champagne as the lights are turned off at Giant Center.
The 74th AHL season came to a close as the Hershey Bears, once again, lifted the Calder Cup. The Bears won its 11th Calder Cup and became the first back-to-back champion of the AHL since the Springfield Indians accomplished the feat in 1991. Can Hershey make it three in a row?
One of the amazing things about the Bears is the roster stability the team has enjoyed. In fact, a look at the final roster heading into the playoffs shows only five players (not counting rookies that recently joined the team) spent last season with a different AHL club. That's almost unbelievable when you consider the small number of veterans that can play. The AHL is still a developmental league and teams can play just six players that have played more than 260 professional games. Players that are in their fourth year are almost too old to find a job in the league. Hershey's been able to get it done.
The league will celebrate its 75th anniversary this fall. All 30 NHL teams are affiliated with an AHL team. Charlotte and Oklahoma City are joining the league. Lowell moved its operation to Albany after the former Albany team moved to Charlotte.
Calgary has not yet moved its affiliate this offseason (just kidding).
There's a lot to look forward to this summer. Players are leaving for Europe or Russia. They're also arriving from Europe or Russia. The Admirals should have several new faces next season, many from overseas. The NHL Entry Draft is June 25th.
The 75th season is upon us. The last team to win three Calder Cups in a row was Springfield in 1960, '61 & '62. Here's hoping Hershey doesn't make it.
Moving on…
The Admirals hosted Game 6 of the Calder Cup Finals against Hershey on June 15, 2006. That is the latest a game has been played in the history of the AHL.
Peoria hired former Abbotsford assistant Jared Bednar as head coach. Bednar was the head coach of ECHL South Carolina when that team won the 2009 Kelly Cup. As a player, the rugged defenseman posted 220 PIM with Grand Rapids in the 1998-99 season.
My friend, Rob Hernandez, does a great job covering prep sports in Madison at the Wisconsin State Journal. He posted an interesting interview/story about the future of the WIAA Tournament.
Madison's Adam Burish became the sixth Wisconsin-born player to be a member of a Stanley Cup Championship team when the Blackhawks beat the Flyers Wednesday night. The others: Appleton's Roger Jenkins (Chicago 1934, 1938); Rhinelander's Craig Ludwig (Montreal 1986, Dallas 1999); Beaver Dam-born Dave Maley (Montreal 1986); Madison's Gary Suter (Calgary 1989) and Madison's (and former Admirals forward) Kevin Dean (New Jersey 1995).
I leave you with Jim Conacher. He wasn't a member of the famed Conacher family that included Lionel, Ray, and Hawks' manager, Charlie, but was still pretty good. He played for the Milwaukee Sea Gulls in the 1950-51 season.

Christmas in Aarhus
Christmas in Aarhus
Throughout December, a very special kind of magic descends upon the capital of mainland Denmark. Aarhus will simply be filled with that perfect Danish Christmassy feeling combining all the old traditions and the very latest trends of the times.
Step into a world of Christmas magic and excitement for both adults and children, enjoy the musical highlights of the festive season, and don't miss the wealth of opportunities for both indoor and outdoor activities. Half a million pin-points of starlight are suspended above the city's pedestrianised high street, creating a positively magical effect – and the city's shops once again open their doors for Christmas shopping and wonderful experiences in that most charming and familiar of atmospheres.
Den Gamle By (The Old Town)
Christmas in The Old Town is an atmosphere-filled nostalgia trip back to when Christmas in Denmark was still unspoilt, the way we remember it. What did Danish boys and girls get for Christmas? Why are we celebrating Christmas? How do pixies live? Learn everything about this, and enjoy the many Christmas exhibitions, shops, market stalls and events where great experiences await the whole family.
The Old Town has a comfortable pace all of its own during Christmas, especially when darkness falls on the town and the gas lamps are lit.
Your rainbow panorama on the roof of ARoS
Treat yourself to magnificent views of Aarhus in Christmas attire from the Your rainbow panorama attraction on the roof of the ARoS art museum. Through all the colours of the rainbow you can take in the city's atmospheric and wonderfully decorated Christmassy streets in a whole new and colourful way.
Yuletide concerts at the churches in Aarhus
In December in Aarhus you can take a break from your preparations for Christmas and enjoy one of the many concerts in the churches of Aarhus. It is a very special experience to immerse oneself in a concert in a church atmosphere where the acoustics are quite unique. There are Yuletide concerts for the whole family in the churches in Aarhus.
Christmas at the Concert Hall
Concert Hall Aarhus has events both large and small on the bill – and within all genres. Concerts, theatre performances, shows, ballet, classical and modern music, musicals, opera, stand-up comedy, and much much more.
The Aarhus Arts and Christmas market
This year, it will once more be possible to buy truly unique Christmas presents in the beautiful old atmospheric 'Ridehuset' equestrian hall in the centre of Aarhus where craftsman-designers present the trends of the time as well as unique handicrafts made from recycled materials.
Christmas shopping at stalls and in shops
Be sure not to miss a stroll down the pedestrianised high street 'Strøget' to enjoy the wonderfully decorated streets, lanes and shop windows throughout the city. Close to the city centre you can also visit one of Scandinavia's largest bazaars and treat yourself to a quite different shopping experience. Here you will find Turkish and Arab bakers, butchers, Oriental shops, cafés and restaurants, jewellery and gift shops, and much much more.
Christmas parade in the Aarhus city centre
On Friday 29th November Santa Claus is coming to Aarhus. On the same day the shops will stay open for late night shopping. There will be a festive Christmas parade and wonderful Yuletide music. There will be activities for both children and adults; Christmas stalls; a merry Christmas atmosphere in the city's streets and lanes; the gloriously twinkling starry sky above the pedestrianised high street 'Strøget'; and the city's giant Christmas tree in the City Hall Square will come stunningly to life as the lights are switched on.
Christmas at the old mill in the woods
In keeping with tradition, the old mill in the woods near the Moesgård Museum once again opens its doors for the festive season offering lots of activities. You can see how flour is milled as in the olden days while you and your family enjoy a warm Danish doughnut and a glass of nicely steaming Christmas grog. You can also buy Christmas pixies and decorations there.

LTE not available on LTE enabled network in Belgium (Belgacom)
I live in Antwerp and I also have an iPhone 5, so Belgacom 4G should be accesable for me. I believe if Apple says the reason why they didn't activate the 4G network yet is that it wasn't officially launched, they will probably include the necessary update in a new release of the ios 6.1 Beta. Ios 6.1 Beta was released before 4G went public, so I think that's the reason. It just isn't worth it to push an update only for Proximus.
I also don't see why Apple wouldn't activate it, we all bought an expensive unlocked phone, it should be able to work with any network. I also don't believe that Apple will not unlock it because Proximus is not a partner, if we get to use 3G, why not 4G?
Thanks Auka for the information, Belgacom obviously did their job. It's apple that didn't.

@Laurens, that's my opinion too. If we get to use 3G, why not 4G. We payed a lot to have the unlocked version of the phone, so it should be totally unlocked.
If I wanted to be tied to one carrier, I would have bought the locked version of the iPhone at a much cheaper price.

U're welcome
I keep you informed in this topic when I have more news about the unlocking of the LTE
But an other think, you have to be covered by the 4G maps available on the proximus website
For brussels, not yet (except in a building )

Hi Auka
Thanks for all your information and effort and to bring us some clarity on this topic.
Hope to here some good news from you soon :-)
PS: I already saw the coverage maps, pitty that Brussels isn't covered, but Antwerp is, so that's already something for me.

All due respect, but you don't seem to understand the full issue here.
This person bought a simlock-free iPhone, this means the device is not connected by any business relationship to any carrier and should work to it's full potential with any carrier, that is why it ships out without a simlock.
This is the reason people take out up to double the price to get a simlock-free device.
Whether Apple actually blocked it or simply didn't enable it, I have no Idea, what I do know is that it either way it should be fixed.
Now in response the part where you say: "If you want full functionality, use a supported carrier." I'm only going to add this:
The only supported carrier by Apple in Belgium is Mobistar, and guess what? They do not have LTE yet.
I love Apple products, but when you buy a device for double it's price, you expect it to work at it's full potential. As it should.

Well said. It's clear to me that the Americans don't grasp and understand the concept of sim-lock-free phones as the phones they buy are almost always Sim-locked.

It all comes down to the fact that Proximus is no "partner carrier" of Apple for its iPhone/iPad devices.
The official list of all Apple's Partners Carriers can be found on Apple's website: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937 .
Specific information about a carrier is stored in "Carrier Settings" or "Carrier Bundles".
Based on the MMC/MCN number stored on a (mini)SIM/MicroSim/NanoSIM card, and iPhone knows what carrier bundle to use.
Configuration stored in a carrier bundle are (for example and not limited to) : voicemail number, APN settings, visual voicemail support/information, etc etc.
In the past it was possible to load these carrier bundles on your iPhone/iPad by using IPCC files. Since iOS4 (?) Apple needs to "sign" these IPCC files. An iPhone won't accept the configuration in an unsigned IPCC file.
(unless you jailbreak and patch CommCenter, to remove the check for the signature)
Apple has information about these configurations: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1970
This is a list of all MMC/MCN numbers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code
Only Partner Carriers have preloaded their configuration on all iPhone/iPad devices.
These preloaded or "stock" bundles are stored on an iPhone/iPad in this directory: /System/Library/Carrier Bundles/
If a Partner Carrier wants to update this information, it can release a "Carrier Update" and then it will be stored in this directory: /var/mobile/Library/Carrier Bundles/
These Carrier updates can be downloaded from Apple's website: http://iphonediags.apple.com/version.xml and can be delivered to an iPhone/iPad via OTA (in previous versions, Carrier updates were send/installed through itunes.)
An iPhone will check if there is an update for its carrier settings when you access settings > general > about.
(again, jailbreakers can confirm this information)
Carriers that are no "Partner Carrier" of Apple's, fall back to a general set of carrier settings.
This is the reason why we need to manually configure the APN settings of Proximus on an iPhone/iPad.
An iPhone/iPad simply does not have that APN information, because there is no carrier bundle with the information.
Mobistar on the other hand _is_ a Partner Carrier, and that is why the APN settings are configured when inserting a Mobistar SIM in an iPhone/iPad.
For this specific problem (no 4G on the Proximus network on an iPhone/iPad) it comes down to this:
For some reason or another an iPhone needs specific information about the carrier's 4G network to be able to connect. This information is _not_ included in the "general" carrier settings.
I can imagine Proximus has contacted Apple about their settings for their 4G network. But since Proximus is no Partner Carrier, Apple seems not intended to release a Carrier Update just for Proximus.
Remarcable, because they did release a carrier update in the past for the iPad, there is a carrier bundle on Apple's website:
MBP:~ geert$ curl -s -L http://phobos.apple.com/version | grep -i proximus
<string>http://appldnld.apple.com/iPhone/CarrierBundles/061-8651.20100903.gftr4/Proximus _be.ipcc</string>
<string>http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS5/CarrierBundles/041-6184.20120608.Ytxir/Proximus_b e_iPad.ipcc</string>
Anyway, there is nothing we can do. Proximus would very much want to enable 4G on our iPhones, but since they don't do business with Apple, it's likely it will take a while - and it is even unsure it will ever happen.
I already send an e-mail to Tim Cook, and I would like to suggest to anyone suffering from this problem to do the same...

Telenet is also a apple partner from 2011. The apn setting are also automatic on the Iphone when you insert the sim. So I think that 4G is only for Mobistar and Telenet customers on the Iphine 5. Good news for me :-) whats the mail adres of tom cook?

An on-going multi-million pound investment programme has already resulted in new student residences, a new Students' Union nightclub and academic facilities such as the Management Centre and the Environment Centre Wales building. The next major project is an ambitious new Arts and Innovation Centre, which will provide exciting arts and entertainment facilities for the University and the local community.
The Pontio Centre- which will open in 2014 - will be a world-class centre for innovation in science, technology and the creative arts. In addition to being a new home for our Students' Union, it will include a theatre, studio theatre, cinema, lecture theatres, exhibition spaces, bar and cafe.
Anglesey is one of the most popular destinations in North Wales and because it's an island there's the added bonus of never being too far from the sea. There are plenty of beaches to chose from so when the sun is smiling, get your friends together for a spot of sunbathing. Or if you're the sporty type take your board with you because the island is a popular spot for surfers.
Anglesey is also your gateway to Ireland and regular ferries run from Holyhead to Dublin, with the journey taking around two hours.
The Snowdonia National Park's 25 miles of mountains, lakes and rivers offer plenty of opportunities for you to enjoy the great outdoors.
Walking, climbing, kyaking and canoeing are just some of the sports that can be enjoyed in the park. Many of the University's sports clubs organise regular trips to Snowdonia - you can find out more about the University's Clubs and Societies on the Students' Union's website and Facebook page.

Vinyl Sale: NYC Music Stores
by Jonathan Zeller, 04/10/2013
- record store day 2013/
- more in shopping/
- more in arts & entertainment/
- recently/
Before fans went online for music, they got in line. And though the information age has made acquiring one's jams more convenient, there's still plenty to be said for the irreplaceable value of brick-and-mortar record shops—where Facebook won't automatically generate a post announcing "Billy just bought Business as Usual by Men at Work on vinyl"—instead of the cold digital expanse of Spotify or iTunes. In a vote of confidence for Brooklyn's love of LPs and a trend of rising vinyl sales, a new Rough Trade store is even set to open in Williamsburg on November 25.
Whether you're looking for the latest release from Diiv, classic salsa by Héctor Lavoe or a well-worn copy of H20 by Hall & Oates, there's one thing you'll be sure to find at these music dispensaries: the human touch. (And if you're looking for Rick Springfield's "Human Touch," you may also be in luck.)
By the way, as long as you've got records on your mind, check out our roundup of famous New York City album cover locations.
Generation Records
Screeching guitars. Painted faces. Primal yelps. Some music scares parents. Generation provides an onslaught of such hard-core, punk and metal—including enough vinyl to fill a mosh pit. Jason, a manager at the store, chalks up the Greenwich Village institution's continued success to the loyalty of those genres' fans. "Metal and punk guys are always buying records, [and] that keeps us going," he says. If you're lucky, you may even catch a favorite act performing in-store (but don't thrash so hard you knock over the albums).

Academy Records
Think your records are ancient? Some even predate LPs themselves. Those who rock it really old school can take heart in Academy's extensive secondhand classical catalog. According to owner Joseph Ganun, "If you want the original cover art and a nice package [for certain rare recordings], the only way you'll find it is in a secondhand store like this one." Academy doesn't forget the past hundred years or so, either. Its jazz selection is outstanding, and there are also rock, folk and R&B gems scattered throughout, plus a nice selection of used DVDs.
Come here if you like:
• Johann Sebastian Bach
• John Coltrane
• Philip Glass
Other Music. Photo: Malcolm Brown
Other Music
True to its name, Other Music wants patrons to discover new artists. "It's about coming in and finding a lot of interesting, diverse underground music," says co-owner Josh Madell. Whether you like indie rock, electronic music or experimental jazz, this is the place to find high-quality tunes that haven't hit the mainstream. The shop also prides itself on supporting local musicians (of which New York City has no shortage).
Come here if you like:
• Grimes
• Deerhunter
• The Flaming Lips
Earwax. Photo: Malcolm Brown
Earwax owner Fabio Roberti feels strongly about tastemaking in his hip Williamsburg neighborhood and prefers his store's carefully chosen inventory to "all the [hogwash] that's on every website on the planet. There's a lot of [hogwash] out there." If you want to leap from The xx to the next next big thing, Earwax's knowledgeable staff may clue you in to your new favorite band. And, as befits its name, Earwax has a huge selection of vinyl.
Come here if you like:
• Roots, blues and/or country
• Psychedelic, Krautrock and/or alternative rock
• Noise and experimental, world music and/or reggae
The Thing. Photo: Malcolm Brown
The Thing
The Thing is an ever-growing blob of $2 vinyl and whatever else its proprietors find. "We've got some 8-foot African statues… there's weird costumes from theater things, I have no idea which play, really weird carnival stuff… a ton of electronics that's come in… bizarre paintings, same old found-object photos from family collections, too," explains employee Jeremy Rodriguez. Though searching the piles almost requires spelunking gear, customers often unearth the valuable and unusual. "Every kind of record that's imaginable has come in," Jeremy explains. "What's left is the rare freaky stuff that people don't really know. Come with an open mind. If you come looking for one record, there's probably a one-in-a-million chance you'll find it."
Come here if you like:
• Secondhand appliances
• Every John Coltrane record shoved into one sleeve

Breakdown Records
At $2 for albums and $1 for 45s, owner Anthony Cascella calls his shop—which he started with 2,000 albums from his own collection—"paradise" for wax collectors. Here, dedicated music geeks spend hours sifting through vinyl mountains. "People say they've been looking for [an album] their whole lives or they had it when they were a kid," he says—and they find it at Breakdown.
Come here if you like:
• Led Zeppelin
• The Supremes
• Variety (you never know what Breakdown has in stock)
Casa Amadeo
This venerable store has stood on the same block for half a century, fueled by owner Mike Amadeo's love for and knowledge of music. This isn't the spot to seek out the latest chart-toppers, as they essentially never receive new inventory: "Anyone who has any sense about what music is can come to me and I'll help them out, but not with the reggaetón," explains Amadeo. It's a place for classics—including tunes by artists like Tito Puente, Celia Cruz and Cheo Feliciano, for whom Amadeo has composed. Amadeo also sells musical instruments. He only recommends that you call ahead if you're looking for a specific record, lest you be disappointed.
Come here if you like:
• Tito Puente
• Willie Colón
• Héctor Lavoe
Fifth Avenue Records and Tapes
This Park Slope gem is overflowing with used vinyl (they have new records, too, but the pre-played collection is massive). The stockpile is cramped and not particularly organized, but perusing the offerings within is frequently rewarding. Tom, a manager, is particularly proud of the singles. "You'll find Beatles and Bob Dylan 45s," he says. "Rare original ones. We have a lot of that." There are also fantastic finds in the bargain bins outside, some for as little as $2. Everything from show tunes to Phil Collins, Supertramp and Chicago sometimes ends up out there. (We saw a vinyl copy of Billy Joel's Storm Front, which, in certain circles, is pretty exciting.) The owner, Anthony, offers the kind of personality that we want from our record store proprietors. When a young couple purchased a Paula Abdul record recently, he gave the album a cursory glance and dryly remarked, "I used to date her."

Kim's Video & Music
For those of you who remember Kim's from its video-rental days as the pinnacle of hipper-than-thou posturing and needless condescension (they organized their videos by director instead of title!), it may come as a surprise that the staff these days at the remaining First Avenue location is…nice. They'll be glad to help you find whatever vinyl, DVDs or CDs you need and even sell audio cassettes—many from local indie bands—by the cash register. "There are independents who release their music only on cassette," says Kenny, a manager. "We try to promote local artists." Whether you want the latest tape from an obscure local act or an LP copy of Is This It, buy whatever strikes your fancy. They won't judge.
Come here if you like:
• My Bloody Valentine
• Wavves
• The Strokes
Black Gold
Black Gold is a candidate for "Brooklyn-est Store in Brooklyn." Not only do they accommodate both vinyl snobs and coffee snobs—groups that both thrive in the borough—but they also carry taxidermy. Asked about the unusual combination, co-owner Summer replies that it was a natural fit: "We're all collectors of records, antiques and big, avid coffee drinkers, so it just kind of made sense to us." Like the store concept itself, the music selection is wide-ranging. While the collection is mainly rock, Summer reports, "We have a lot of weird foreign stuff [and] a lot of rare soul." Now all we need is a record-pickling station.
Come here if you like:
• Coffee
• Taxidermied animals
• Rock, soul and world music
Music Matters
The very essence of a small local record store, Music Matters' inventory is more about what Park Slope denizens want than anything else. Jason, the owner, sums up the motivation behind his purchasing decisions as "neighborhood demand." Indeed, the shop's collection is curated to meet Park Slope's taste—a healthy dose of indie rock is available on CD and vinyl, with new releases coming in every week. Loyalty is rewarded here: customers get their 16th vinyl album free after filling up a punch card. The store is small, but Jason will order anything you're looking for that isn't on hand.

The province announced Thursday (Jan. 10) that proponents of the Upper Lillooet Hydro Project, proposed for an area northwest of Pemberton, have been granted a conditional Environmental Assessment Certificate.
A press release announcing the project's approval said that a review conducted by the Environmental Assessment Office "concluded that the project is not expected to result in any significant adverse effects, based on the mitigation measures and conditions of the Environmental Assessment Certificate."
The project calls for three run-of-river hydro facilities to be built on the Upper Lillooet River, North Creek and Boulder Creek with a combined capacity of 121 megawatts. It will also require 72 kilometres of transmission lines that will connect to the facility at Rutherford Creek operated by the proponent.
The province also released a report containing reasoning behind the decision made by Minister of Environment Terry Lake and Minister of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas Rich Coleman. The ministers address feedback received during public comment periods on the project, much of which was negative and came from Pemberton-area residents.
"We understand the concerns raised by the public," said the report. "It is our view that all relevant project-related concerns were adequately considered and addressed during (the) Environmental Assessment process."
The certificate includes 37 legally-binding conditions that Creek Power Inc. — the majority of which is owned by Innergex Renewable Energy Inc. — is required to meet to be in compliance, said the release.
Some of the conditions of the certificate include maintenance of a minimum in-stream flow requirement on the affected bodies of water; adherance to environmental management and protection plans; contributions to the province's grizzly bear monitoring program; undertaking construction work outside of sensitive periods for wildlife species, and more.
The estimated construction cost is $420 million, said the release, while construction activity will create an estimated 382 person-years of employment.
Innergex officials had been anticipating a decision on the certificate from the province this month. The company has a 40-year power purchase agreement in place for all three facilities with B.C. Hydro. An Innergex release from Friday (Jan. 11) said construction will likely take place on the Upper Lillooet and Boulder Creek facilities this year, while the company expects to break ground on the North Creek facility in 2014. Timelines posted to the project's website indicate construction could begin in May, while operations could commence as early as the summer of 2015.
"We are proud that the Upper Lillooet Hydro project has achieved this important milestone," said Michel Letellier, president and CEO of Innergex, in the release. "We continue to advance the development of this project, seeking to obtain all necessary permits and licences, as well as long-term project financing."
The Lil'wat Nation and Innergex issued a joint press release on Tuesday (Jan. 15) that confirmed a Participation Agreement between the two parties. The agreement will last for the lifespan of the project, with revenue sharing, procurement and employment opportunities and environmental monitoring as part of the deal. The Lil'wat will also give input on the project's design "to ensure that it reflects its cultural values."
"This is an important and strategic renewable energy project for Lil'wat Nation," said Chief Lucinda Phillips in the release. "It will provide opportunities for employment, contracting and economic development in our Nation for the next generation.
"(Creek Power has) invested a considerable amount of time in understanding and managing the environmental and archaeological impacts in our traditional territory."
Pemberton resident Louise Taylor has been actively campaigning against the Upper Lillooet and other run-of-river hydro projects over the last few months over concerns about environmental impact. She said she found the conditions placed upon the certificate to be "flimsy" and that she isn't finished advocating against the project despite last week's approval.
"I think it's criminal that … the government doesn't even listen to its own technical experts who said that impacts to grizzly bears, for example, couldn't be meaningfully mitigated," she said. "We're thinking of other options to see if there's a way of delaying or stopping this project. We're not going to give up."

SummaryThe guidance of developing axons in the nervous system is mediated partly by diffusible chemoattractants secreted by axonal target cells. Netrins are chemoattractants for commissural axons in the vertebrate spinal cord, but the mechanisms through which they produce their effects are unknown. We show that Deleted in Colorectal Cancer (DCC), a transmembrane protein of the immunoglobulin superfamily, is expressed on spinal commissural axons and possesses netrin-1-binding activity. Moreover, an antibody to DCC selectively blocks the netrin-1-dependent outgrowth of commissural axons in vitro. These results indicate that DCC is a receptor or a component of a receptor that mediates the effects of netrin-1 on commissural axons, and they complement genetic evidence for interactions between DCC and netrin homologs in C. elegans and Drosophila.

Developmental Cell, Volume 4, Issue 3, 1 March 2003, Pages 371-382
Karpagam Srinivasan, Phyllis Strickland, Ana Valdes, Grace C Shin and Lindsay Hinck
SummaryNetrin-1 and its receptors play an essential role patterning the nervous system by guiding neurons and axons to their targets. To explore whether netrin-1 organizes nonneural tissues, we examined its role in mammary gland morphogenesis. Netrin-1 is expressed in prelumenal cells, and its receptor neogenin is expressed in a complementary pattern in adjacent cap cells of terminal end buds (TEBs). We discovered that loss of either gene results in disorganized TEBs characterized by exaggerated subcapsular spaces, breaks in basal lamina, dissociated cap cells, and an increased influx of cap cells into the prelumenal compartment. Cell aggregation assays demonstrate that neogenin mediates netrin-1-dependent cell clustering. Thus, netrin-1 appears to act locally through neogenin to stabilize the multipotent progenitor (cap) cell layer during mammary gland development. Our results suggest that netrin-1 and its receptor neogenin provide an adhesive, rather than a guidance, function during nonneural organogenesis.

Zheng Zhou, Jianxin Xie, Daehoon Lee, Yu Liu, Jiung Jung, Lijuan Zhou, Shan Xiong, Lin Mei and Wen-Cheng Xiong
SummaryNeogenin has been identified as a receptor for the neuronal axon guidance cues netrins and RGMs (repulsive guidance molecules). Here we provide evidence for neogenin in regulating endochondral bone development and BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) signaling. Neogenin-deficient mice were impaired in digit/limb development and endochondral ossification. BMP2 induction of Smad1/5/8 phosphorylation and Runx2 expression, but not noncanonical p38 MAPK activation, was reduced in chondrocytes from neogenin mutant mice. BMP receptor association with membrane microdomains, which is necessary for BMP signaling to Smad, but not p38 MAPK, was diminished in neogenin-deficient chondrocytes. Furthermore, RGMs appear to mediate neogenin interaction with BMP receptors in chondrocytes. Taken together, our results indicate that neogenin promotes chondrogenesis in vitro and in vivo, revealing an unexpected mechanism underlying neogenin regulation of BMP signaling.

- Netrins, axon guidance cues in the CNS, have also been detected in epithelial tissues. In this study, using the embryonic pancreas as a model system, we show that Netrin-1 is expressed in a discrete population of epithelial cells, localizes to basal membranes, and specifically associates with elements of the extracellular matrix. We demonstrate that α6β4 integrin mediates pancreatic epithelial cell adhesion to Netrin-1, whereas recruitment of α6β4 and α3β1 regulate the migration of CK19+/PDX1+ putative pancreatic progenitors on Netrin-1. These results provide evidence for the activation of epithelial cell adhesion and migration by a neural chemoattractant, and identify Netrin-1/integrin interactions as adhesive/guidance cues for epithelial cells.

In a bid to make their Ultrabook plans come true, Intel Capital announced a $300 million fund to foster the development of technologies and innovation for this new kind of devices. Intel continues to claim that Ultrabooks will be the culmination of notebook and tablet features.
Over the course of the last weeks, there have been repeated reports at DigiTimes about manufacturers being sceptical over the possibility of reaching the sub $999 price point Intel has been touting over and over again. According to the manufacturers, Intel would need to lower the prices of their CPUs and chipsets to make this price point possible. Intel then charged forward with providing a BOM list of a typical Ultrabooks to proove that 21mm thick models weigh in at $475 to $650 and 18mm thick models at a bit higher $493 to $710. If the numbers are correct, there is still some headroom to accomodate for margins of the respective manufacturers. Since the Intel-provided components make up more than one third of the BOM, manufacturers still think Intel would best help with lower component pricing.
Apparently Intel not only remains stubborn on the pricing front, they also aim to drive this whole category forward in many different ways. They acknowledge that the 22nm shrink of the current Core i3/i5/i7 2000 series (Sandy Bridge) will deliver improved power efficiency and better performance. Those chips codenamed Ivy Bridge are slated to arrive in the second quarter of 2012. Only their 2013 chip dubbed Haswell, integrating a new microarchitecture, should drive processor TDP to about half of todays products.

Cabrera's 40th HR leads Scherzer, Tigers over KC
Aug 19th, 2013 - Sports News
DETROIT (AP) — Miguel Cabrera hit his 40th home run and had an RBI single to help Max Scherzer become baseball's first 18-game winner this season as the Detroit Tigers beat the Kansas City Royals 6-3 to win the five-game series.
The reigning Triple Crown winner became the third player since 1921 to have at least 40 homers and 120 RBIs while batting .350 or better through 116 games, joining Babe Ruth and Jimmie Foxx, according to STATS.
Scherzer gave up two runs on five hits over eight innings. Scherzer and Roger Clemens are the pitchers since 1919 to have 18 wins in their first 19 decisions, STATS said. Clemens did it with the New York Yankees in 2001, when he finished 20-3.
The Detroit Tigers take today off and get ready for Minnesota on Tuesday.

Catherine Beebe, left, and Lloyd Beebe, right, are little-known players in Disney's film history. They devoted their lives to the care and training of animal actors. Photo courtesy of Robert Beebe
by AMANDA WINTERS
Sequim Gazette
Lloyd Beebe died Jan. 6 at the age of 94. Two days later his wife of 71 years, Catherine Beebe, died at the age of 88.
"He did what he wanted and concentrated on his wife and making sure she was taken care of," Robert Beebe said of his grandfather's later years.
Earlier in life Lloyd Beebe was a logger, huntsman, woodsman, Antarctic explorer, animal trainer, director, cinematographer and property rights advocate on many issues affecting Clallam County residents along the Dungeness River, Robert Beebe said.
"Catherine was the consummate businesswoman, socialite and homemaker that somehow made everything so seamless and effortless to all who knew her — a true force of nature," he said.
The couple invested most of their savings from making films with Disney in new pens, fencing and training fields for the animal stars. It was always their intent — and continues to be — that the animals receive attention, respect and care long after their film work is completed, he said.
The Olympic Game Farm began as "Disney's Wild Animal Ranch," a filming location for Walt Disney in the early 1950s.
The farm was designed as a holding facility for animal actors between movie shoots by Disney Studios, to provide care and training for the animals for future movies. The farm was opened to the public by Lloyd and Catherine Beebe, with permission from the Disney board of directors, as Olympic Game Farm in 1972.
Filming continued until the late 1990s. The 150-year-old barn on the farm was converted into a studio to film certain scenes, as well as the fields and hills as backdrops by Disney Studios.
Memorable films with the Beebes' animals include "The Vanishing Prairie," "The Incredible Journey," "Charlie the Lonesome Cougar," "King of the Grizzlies," "Never Cry Wolf," "Grizzly Adams" and "Northern Exposure."
"Lloyd Beebe's humility was so great that outside of the most rabid Disney fans, his enormous accomplishments are barely known," Greg Heberlein, of Seattle, said.
Heberlein is part of the MountainEars chapter of the Disneyana Fan Club. Some in the fan club visited the game farm in September 2009 and got to meet Lloyd and Catherine Beebe, he said.
"One of the things that struck us about Lloyd, then 92, was his size," Heberlein said. "You expected some sort of Goliath to be such a famous outdoorsman and risk his life so often, but he was slender and rather small in stature. He was also very alert. Catherine's memory was fading but she was truly gracious."
Lloyd Beebe revolutionized the way animals were trained for films. He elected to make friends with the animals rather than employing a whip, Heberlein said.
It wasn't uncommon for the couple to raise young wild animals in their homes in a humane way, he said.
Robert Beebe can attest to that. Raising jaguar cubs, lion cubs, cougar cubs, wolf pups and baby bears with his grandparents are some of his favorite memories, he said.
A celebration of life reception for family and friends will be held from 1-3 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 23, at the Sequim Elks Lodge, 143 Port Williams Road, Sequim.

"Disappointing" might be the operative word to describe the outcome for Wabash Valley softball efforts in the ASA men's slowpitch Class D (North) and men's slowpitch Class E (North) state tournaments last weekend.
Valley teams came away with only two wins in the 12 games in which they participated.
The ASA MSP Class D North tournament in Kokomo was especially disappointing. Crawlworks/All American Auto Repair and Light Out finished with 0-2 marks. Crawlworks/All American Auto Repair, recent winner of the Tanel 360/Dudley Challenge Series, dropped games to Mullins Fitness 13-5 and H&R Block 11-6. Lights Out lost to Taser Softball, the eventually tourney champion, and U.S. Furniture by a 10-9 score.
Both teams look to get back to their winning ways when they participate in the ASA MSP Class D (South) state tournament in early August.
The three Valley participants in the ASA MSP Class E tournament managed to fare somewhat better, but only slightly. In the 38-team affair hosted by Crawfordsville, the Hitmen and Cahill's each finished with a 1-2 record, while the Eagles 291 team went 0-2.
Cahill's opened tourney play with a solid 23-10 win over Garnett's Comfort Gallery before dropping games to Hanson Materials 12-2 and Double Play 10-9. Like Cahill's, the Hitmen earned an opening-round win over Armed Forces 15-3 before losing to Hanson Materials 14-5 and Golden Corral. Eagles 291 lost to Team Forbo 11-9 and Golden Corral 17-8.
The Hitmen and Eagles 291 are participating in the ASA MSP E South state tournament this weekend in Bloomington.
The Outkast squad captured the Show-Me's men's slowpitch city tournament with a 4-0 mark. Outkast recorded wins over Tabco Beef O'Brady's (18-16), Pizza King (17-16), Cahill's (19-17) and Tom's Stars (14-2).
Playing for Outkast were Kevin Nickles, Chad Cress, Travis Sutton, Kevin Wilt, Tommy "Sarge" Slaughter, Todd Hein, Mike Walker, David See, Dano Armstrong, Brandon Vest and Seth Cosgray.
Outkast ventured to South Bend this weekend to participate in the ASA MSP Class B state tournament. Its opening game was slated to be against a powerful Street Kids team from South Bend/Mishawaka.
The final standings for the city tournament were as follows: Outkast 4-0, Pizza King 3-1, Tabco/Beef O'Brady's 2-2, Cahill's 1-3, Tom's Stars 0-4.
Of particular note in the city tournament was the effort put forth by the Cahill's team. After returning from the ASA MSP Class E state tournament, where it lost to Hanson Materials and Double Play, it suffered three losses by a total of four runs — 19-18 in eight innings to Pizza King, 19-18 to Tabco/Beef O'Brady's and 19-17 to Outkast. That's a good showing, despite its 1-3 tourney record.
Good luck to the Ladies Last Call team in its efforts in the ASA women's slowpitch Class D state tournament in Bedford this weekend.
Included on the roster are Tracy Bennett, Chana Brown, Brittni Cox, Wendy Cress, Amy DeBaun, Katie Dennison, Jennifer Frederick, Cindy Fulk, Brenda Honaker, Annie Marshall, Kristie McElroy, Sara Milner, Jennifer Morse, Lacy Porter, Ladonna Singleton, Latasha Sturm, Lacey Sutton and Ashley Walters.

More quote details and news » Chief Executive Tim Armstrong said Saturday that the company would reverse a recent change to its 401(k) plan and apologized for remarks used to explain the initial change.
Tim Armstrong
The company recently decided to give employees a lump-sum contribution to their 401(k) retirement accounts at year-end, rather than matching contributions each pay period. The year-end disbursement was available only to employees active on Dec. 31 and meant that those who left before then wouldn't get a matching contribution.
The change hadn't caused much fuss until Thursday, when Mr. Armstrong caused a stir among employees and social media by saying that care for two staffers' "distressed babies" in 2012 cost the company about $1 million each. He used that example to help explain why the company was changing its 401(k) policy.
Mr. Armstrong was accused of using the infants as cover for the unpopular policy change and was criticized on Slate's website by the mother of one of the babies.
Later on Thursday, Mr. Armstrong sent a note to employees clarifying his earlier remark. "I mentioned high-risk pregnancy as just one of many examples of how our company supports families when they are in need…we want to be open and transparent about the choices we make and why we are making them," he wrote.

Mr. Armstrong in an email to staff on Saturday said AOL would reinstitute matching contributions for each pay period. "As we discussed the matter over several days, with management and employees, we have decided to change the policy back," he said.
He also went further to smooth ruffled feathers. "On a personal note, I made a mistake and I apologize for my comments last week," Mr. Armstrong said.
Deanna Fei, whose daughter was one of the "distressed babies" that AOL CEO Tim Armstrong cited to explain a recent benefits policy change, joins Lunch Break with her side of the story.
AOL's Chief Executive Tim Armstrong has announced the company will reverse a recent change to its employee 401(k) policy. The move comes after the "distressed babies" comment. Executive coach Michael Woodward discusses on Lunch Break. Photo: AP.
Introducing WSJD, the Journal's new home for tech news, analysis and product reviews.
The controversy wasn't the first time Mr. Armstrong has had to re-explain a management move. Last August he apologized after firing a staffer in front of a roomful of employees during an internal conference call.
While health-care costs don't directly affect company spending on retirement benefits, companies often consider them in tandem, said Bill O'Malley, a compensation and benefits attorney at McGladrey LLP. Mr. O'Malley said he was surprised that a company would attribute high medical expenses to specific people, even if those individuals weren't named.
An AOL representative on Thursday declined to speculate about those concerns.
Although most large companies are self-insured—meaning they pay claims directly—many also purchase so-called stop-loss insurance, which is designed to pick up the bulk of any unexpected amounts over a certain annual per-patient or per-company figure. For large companies, however, those policies might not kick in until millions of dollars in medical costs have been incurred.
Health costs for women outpace those for men starting in the late teen years, according to a June report from the Society of Actuaries. Male costs eventually rise, but the gap remains large in the early 30s—with women consuming more than twice as much health care in dollar terms than men, a difference generally attributed to pregnancy and natal care. The gender costs even out around age 60, according to the report.
