The Fresno State men had not scored in the triple digits in the brief Rodney Terry era. In fact, they hadn't crossed the century mark since 2003. But they scored 104 at home against UC Merced Saturday, and set a program mark in winning by 61.
Paul Watson led the way with 16 points, while Tyler Johnson scored 14 and four other Bulldogs scored in double figures. The 'Dogs broke a three game losing skid in winning for the first time in nearly four weeks.
This was their final tune-up before conference play begins New Year's Day, when they host UNLV.

The Land of Loganopolis
Ahhh...the land of Loganopolis; where the music plays on constant loop and hockey is the national sport. Never heard of this thriving metropolis? Well, maybe that's because it doesn't actually exist on earth. But it does exist in the mind of Big Time Rush star Logan Henderson! And we're about 99.9 percent positive it's our next vacay destination.
In an interview with Cambio, a fan asked, "If you could create another city, what would it be called?" And the BTR all-star quickly responded, "Loganopolis!"
Interesting... It seems like Logan already had the imaginary kingdom cooked up in his brain well before being asked! Don't worry Logan, it's okay to day dream. On that note, what would a visit to Loganopolis be like? Would hair gel be in unlimited supply? Would James, Kendall and Carlos have mansions overlooking the ocean? Would transportation be free if we were flying in from Minnesota?!

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought this pack intending to use it for my Canon T3i and GoPros, and it works perfectly for that. This bag could easily hold a lot bigger cameras than the T3i and a lot longer lens than my 80-250mm. I am able to get the T3i, two gopros, chargers, extra lens, bunch of mounts, and a lot more accessories. The removal camera block is is easily removal. I find it is perfect for when you don't have enough room to bring along the entire bag but still want to protect the camera.

It is interesting that the Palo Alto government sees itself as a small unit being dictated to by a larger government unit, for example, ABAG's dictating 2,860 new housing units as being "highly unrealistic and excessive." But they don't see smaller units, residents and neighborhoods, asking the larger unit, Palo Alto, to support residents against the intrusion of developers as being in the same position. Residents near downtown have been talking to the wall for years about intrusive parking and Maybell residents have had to go to a ballot to fight to keep the essential character of their neighborhood. Reviewing the list of contributors to the "yes on D" is a clear indication of who benefits from construction on Maybell. Complaints to the Council about resident parking permits is an indication who benefits from intrusive parking. Equally clearly, it is easy to see who suffers. When Maybell residents moved in, they didn't expect developers to move into the neighborhood. When residents near downtown moved in, they didn't expect intrusive parking to turn their neighborhoods into distributed parking lots. Downtown land is scarce and greedy eyes seek ever farther land.

Finally! I have been waiting for YEARS for this frustrating representation problem to be addressed. Thanks for shining some daylight on this critically important issue. I hope this effort will yield results. Palo Alto is pressed hard for growth by ABAG (and the cities that have authority to control ABAG's actions which do not include Palo Alto). Resources that might enable us to mitigate impacts of that growth are controlled by representatives of other cities who really don't care whether our transportation, library, public schools, and other resources are impacted. They have the attitude that this is a wealthy city and we should take care of ourselves--though organizations like VTA are happy to receive our tax dollars. They don't bother to look at the Palo Alto's budget constraints.
VTA staff has made some of the most appalling and dismissive remarks about Palo Alto over the years. They are so convinced that we are undeserving of their support they don't realize how abusive they sound. Further, CM Keene is correct that they view Palo Alto as an outlier because we sit on the edge of their territory. It's easy for them to dismiss us when we are so poorly represented. Out of sight, out of mind.
We need representation on ABAG and with the transportation authorities. PA Weekly, please stay on this story. Regional representation is critical to the future success of our community. San Jose has way too much power over other cities in the county. They get more than their fair share of the goodies.
Stay focused on the big picture here. How representation is organized and how that relates to policy decisions and flow of funds is the important story.

I am all for HSR, just for the fact that it requires grade separation at crossings. Every now and then, an accident is reported at the crossings - not all of them are suicides. Sometimes I have to wait for at least 15 minutes before I can take a left turn at Alma. Not to mention the annoying train horns in the middle of the night.

Swimming and Diving Finish Second At First-Ever CCSA Championships
HUNTERSVILLECHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Florida Gulf Coast University Women's Swimming and Diving team took second place in the inaugural CCSA Swimming Championships that concluded on Saturday, Feb. 23, 2008. The Eagles finished as the top A-Sun team in the CCSA Championships, but fell just 26 points shy to Davidson College. Freshman Viktoria Hyddmark, earned women's most outstanding swimmer honors, as well as outstanding freshman honors.
"This was unbelievable day," said head coach Neal Studd."This was our best performance of the year, and it was a great way to end an unbelievable season. I couldn't ask for a better group, and they all came together and really stepped it up this weekend."
The Eagles where victorious in three events, taking the top spot in the 1650-yard freestyle, 200-yard backstroke, and the 200-yard butterfly.
Junior Courtney Gallo (Lake Worth, Fla.) took the top spot in the 1650-yard freestyle with a time of 16:56.58, while freshman Taylor Cooke (Homosassa, Fla.) took the eighth spot, finishing in 17:57.99.
In the 200-yard backstroke freshman Viktoria Hyddmark (Lund, Sweden) finished in first place with a time of 2:00.69. Freshman Katie Oke (Exeter, Ontario) finished in sixth, touching in 2:07.61.
Freshman Rachel Rein (Oviedo, Fla.) finished second in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 52.01, and classmate Catrina Silveira (Doral, Fla.) placed third in the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:24.37.
Freshman Corinna Lallier (Woodbury, Fla.) won the 200-yard butterfly with a time of 2:06.46, and Courtney Gallo took third just under seconds behind Lallier.
On the boards, freshman Karmin McNamara (Tampa, Fla.) finished second in the three meter with 243.90 points. Freshmen Sarah McCollough (Lakeland, Fla.) finished in fourth with 220.00 points, and Gabrielle Shaw ( Boyton Beach, Fla.) finished eighth with 198.60 points.
"We really came through," said assistant coach Patricia Stringham."We have come a long way, and this was a very special day for our program."
Hyddmark swam her fastest times this season in every event she competed in, earning her three first-place finishes, 73 points and a NCAA Division I B cut time. On day one, she earned her first gold medal, swimming a 2:07.45 in the 200-yard individual medley (20 points). On day two she took first in the 100-yard backstroke, clocking in at 57.11 and earning her another 20 points for the meet. On the final day of competition, the freshman had her best race of the meet and took home her third win in the 200-yard backstroke, finishing three seconds ahead of the second-place finisher (2:00.69) and earning her the NCAA Divison I B cut time. She also earned nine bonus points for setting Conference records in each event and four more bonus points for earning the B cut time.

- Milialni, HI
- Category: New Foods
Tell us your story:
Because of a health issue with mom, she started looking into eating local & organic. This has been a great solution & has lead to much better health. This approach to eating has trickled down to all of the family & we now shop the local farmer's market every weekend before church. It's a fun, fresh way to eat and it has been very educational in that we have been learning about nutrition, local farming, & trying new recipes. It has been a fun way to eat ourselves into a more healthy life!
Contest Photo Tips and Guidelines:
- Avoid clutter. Keep the background simple -- your family is the star!
- Daytime, natural light is best. If your area is bright enough, try taking the photo without the flash.
- Upload a horizontal photo. If you crop the image on your computer, make sure you keep a landscape 4:3 aspect ratio.
- For best results, make your image 1200x900 (or "save for web").
- With a digital camera, you can take as many photos as possible and choose the best one. Have fun!

Wake up naturally
The Wake-up Light uses a unique combination of light therapy and sound to wake you up in a gentle and natural way so you are ready for the day ahead. From now on waking up will be a pleasant experience.
Product features
The light intensity from your wake-up light gradually increases in 30 minutes before your set wake up time. Light falls on your eyes and increases the level of energy in your body, gently preparing your body to wake up. This makes waking up a more pleasant feeling.
The sensitivity to light differs a lot per person. In general, when using a higher light intensity a person needs less time to become fully awake. The light intensity of the Wake-up light can be set up to 250 lux. This makes sure you can wake up to the light intensity that suits your personal preference best.
At your set wake-up time, you will start hearing a natural sound or the selected radio station. It starts out quietly and takes a minute and a half to reach the volume level you selected. There are three sounds you can choose from: morning birds, a beep sound and wind chimes. The gradually increasing sound will make the wake up process even more pleasant, ensuring you're never rudely awakened.
The gradual decreasing light and sound help you to drift to sleep. You can set your preferred time for the duration of the dusk simulation.
The 20 different brightness settings allow you to use the product as a bedside lamp
The Wake-up Light makes use of a replaceable halogen lamp for the natural sunrise simulation.
Independent research* shows that 8 out of 10 Wake-up Light users, found it easier to get out of bed. MatrixLab BE, NL, D, AT, CH 2011; n=209
It has been clinically proven that light wakes you up more pleasantly and improves the quality of waking up.
Brought to you by Philips, who has over 100 years of leadership in light therapy technology.
The National Sleep Foundation is an educational and scientific not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving sleep health and safety through education, public awareness, and advocacy. The National Sleep Foundation has chosen to make Philips Wake up Light and goLITE BLU its Official Light Therapy Products in recognition of the benefits they provide in helping you wake-up better and feel brighter, more energetic throughout your day

It can be difficult for a family to plan a New England skiing vacation with so many great mountains throughout this area of the country. However, we here at Okemo like to think we stand out. With 97% snowmaking coverage and consistent top rankings for snow quality - it's hard to argue Okemo doesn't have the best snow in the East. That's why Okemo is top-ranked among Vermont resorts.
And mother nature or man-made, what's great snow without the wherewithal to groom and sculpt it into the stuff of legend? They put on a fresh face of corduroy and leave choice powder stashes for those seeking first tracks. With 15 years average experience using proprietary equipment right here at Okemo, nobody knows this mountain better.
A message from Tim and Diane Mueller:
We welcome you to experience the art of what we do best here at Okemo; the art of Okemo snow. It's known as the best snow in the business, with the most reliable snowmaking and grooming in the East. Okemo is our canvas and your playground for a great family mountain experience!

Have you ever wanted to be able to change a signed card just by rubbing it with your bare fingers? Now it is possible to make people believe you are a master of suggestion/hypnosis techniques without having to learn the detailed ins and outs of this advanced skill!Imagine dividing your audience into two groups, the first you influence with an hypnotic suggestion, and the second remain unaltered by your powers!
With HYPNOTRICK a spectator can select a card from a deck and show it to everyone in his group before signing it. The performer then shows the second group the selection and they see a totally different card, despite there being only one card and it being signed across it's face! The performer can release the spectators from their hypnotic state at any time, to show the true identity of the card. Oh, and the card can then be immediately inspected!
Now you can do all these things with Hypnotrick, a brand new effect from the creative mind of Ben Williams. With this knowledge and detailed routine you will be able to perform a whole range of effects from convincing people you are a master of suggestion techniques to doing a signed colour change using just one card and your bare hands. This effect could also be translated onto stage for a larger performance maybe in a mentalism act. This is visual magic at it's best, not just 'another card trick'; this can be as powerful as you want it to be.
On this video download, Ben sits down with you for a one2one session! Ben teaches you not only the full routine and presentation, but takes you step by step through the whole process required! If you are one of the thousands of magicians worldwide that have Bens 'Labelled' download (or dvd), you will know that he does not like to leave anything out! Each step is focused on, with performing tips and PRO techniques to get the best out of this stunning effect. QUESTIONS & ANSWERSCan the spectator really sign the card?Yes! Although it is not necessary, the spectator can sign the FACE OF THE CARD before it changes. There are no duplicate signatures used. The signature can be in full view the whole time whether the 'hypnotised' group or the 'unhypnotised' group are seeing the card.Can the spectators inspect the card?Yes, after the trick is done the card is 100% examinable and can be kept as a souvenir, something I would encourage. In fact because of the nature of the effect the card can also be fully inspected as it is selected!REMEMBER the spectators never leave sight of THEIR signature on the card, even as it visually changes value!Do you need to be highly skilled with cards to perform this effect?No, not at all. In fact all you need to know is one sleight that is not hard to execute and 95% of people reading this will probably know how to do it. The handling has also been refined so that there is no knucklebusting sleight of hand required, allowing you to concentrate fully on your performance.Do you need to know any hypnosis or suggestion techniques?No you don't. Although to gain full credability for what this effect can achieve you should be able to act the part of a mentalist or somebody who can influence a persons mind using suggestion, such as when you read a spectators mind to tell them what card they have.Is it suitable for 'real-world' working conditions?YES! Here's a few reasons why :-Quick resetFast and entertaining for your audienceAdaptable to your current performing style or card effectsCan be performed surrounded Works one2one with a spectator or plays to a whole groupYou can put your business details on the back of the card
"Nice One!!! I've been playing with this for the past few weeks and I LOVE IT!" Dan Makings"I purchased this on the strengh of your other 'own' items which I have found to be excellent. Once again I am not disappointed. Keep it up!" JoJo UK"I actually made a GUY scream out in shock and amazement with this! It's a strong bit of magic guys, now moved it to be a card magic closer effect! Thanks" Mat Cane "I have my sticky mitts on a copy of Ben Williams' effect, Hypnotrick. I have been eager to see this ever since Ben showed me a video when he was working on the effect. Hypnotrick is written with Ben's friendly and witty style. The instructions are clear, detailed and easy to follow. Ben goes into the minutest detail when describing his presentation and handling of this effect, though he points out that this is just one presentation, you could easily come up with something that fits your own style. What I particularly like is the depth in which Ben describes the finer points of the handling, misdirection and audience management, something that many magicians leave out when publishing an effect. The effect relies on a simple gimmick which is easy to prepare, there are detailed instructions on how to do this. Due to very clever routining the card is 100% examinable when selected and at the end of the effect. It can be signed by the spectator if you wish, and can be handed out as a keepsake. You end totally clean. This is a very clever routine with the potential for you to inject your own personality into it, though Ben's style fits it perfectly and he gives detailed instructions on how to achieve this. It's a routine which will amaze your spectators and have them thinking you truly do have hypnotic powers. For the spectators that is the only possible explanation. I am now busy practising my hypnotic stare, and unnerving all around me I might add! I have tried this out on my family who are used to being my magic guinea pigs, but this really freaked my sister out, tee hee! I will definitely be adding this one to my new repertoire of effects this year and I highly recommend it. For all you wannabe Derren Browns out there, you are going to love this. Brilliant in it's simplicity as the best magic effects should be, but with great reactions! I wonder if Derren has seen it yet?"Stephen Morrison

A man is dead after being shot Thursday afternoon by a Rockhurst University security officer.
The shooting occurred about 3 p.m. following a wreck in the area of 51st Street and Troost Avenue.
The man killed allegedly tried to carjack someone following a minor crash involving his vehicle and a second vehicle. He was rushed to the hospital where he died from his injuries.
Witnesses told police hat the man started waving his handgun at bystanders and even chased a doctor who was in the area and offered his assistance initially following the crash.
The security officer responded to the scene after learning about the crash. The officer fired his weapon once after the man pointed the gun at him, according to Kansas City police.
Rockhurst's security force is armed, according to their website.
The shooting occurred close to the University of Missouri at Kansas City, which sent out an advisory to its students and staff.
Rockhurst, UMKC and Kansas City police responded to the scene. After shots were fired, UMKC officers staged at the nearby Edgar L. and Rheta A. Berkley Child and Family Development Center, the advisory said.
"No children or staff at the center were every directly threatened," the advisory concluded.
An autopsy on the man will include toxicologically tests.

Despite making some silly mistakes and failing to capitalize on some key opportunities, the Green Bay Packers defeated the Chicago Bears, 21-13, Sunday afternoon. The victory clinches the NFC North division title for the Packers, ensuring a place in the postseason for the fourth consecutive season.
The Packers lost a pair of fumbles, missed a pair of field goal attempts and averaged less than 4 yards per carry, but a big game from Aaron Rodgers and strong defense proved enough against a struggling Bears team. Chicago has now lost five of its past six games after starting the year a red-hot 7-1.
Bears quarterback Jay Cutler's struggles against the franchise's biggest rival continued on Sunday, as he completed just 12 of 21 passes for 135 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He was also sacked four times, dropping Chicago's total passing yardage figure to a paltry 107 yards.
That performance looked particularly weak compared against Rodgers. He had Green Bay's offense hitting on all cylinders after a shaky start, finishing with 291 passing yards and three touchdowns.
Fantasy Studs/Duds
Beyond Rodgers, his biggest targets proved to put up big numbers. James Jones caught five passes for 60 yards and three touchdowns, while Randall Cobb caught six passes for 115 yards.
Matt Forte was Chicago's most impressive offensive performer, totaling 69 rushing yards and 64 receiving yards. Brandon Marshall snagged six passes for 56 yards and a touchdown.

Injury Info
The Bears' injury woes along the offensive line continued in the first half as right tackle Jonathan Scott was forced to leave the game.
Next Up
The Bears head to the desert next week to face the Arizona Cardinals while the Packers return home to host the Tennessee Titans.

Fletcher was being evaluated by a neurologist for a possible head injury Thursday and missed practice for a second consecutive day, putting his 15-year consecutive-games streak in doubt.||||||| Fletcher has appeared in 231 NFL games in a row since entering the league as an undrafted rookie with the St. Louis Rams in 1998.

Proforma So. Tier Ink Included in Industry Education Presentation to Congress
Proforma So. Tier Ink will show how they are making a difference in people's lives when Promotional Products Association International (PPAI) goes to Washington, DC to educate Congress on the power of the promotional products industry at the Legislative Education and Action Day (L.E.A.D) March 7-8, 2012. PPAI will include a case study from Proforma So. Tier Ink in their presentation to show the important role promotional products have in awareness campaigns.
"We are honored to be a part of PPAI's presentation to Congress," said Karen Phillips, Owner of Proforma So. Tier Ink. "This is a great opportunity to show our lawmakers how promotional product campaigns have a great impact in educating and communicating with the community about programs that may prove vital for some families."
The case study PPAI will present on behalf of Proforma So. Tier Ink highlights their work with the Nutrition Outreach and Education Program (NOEP). In this project, Proforma So. Tier Ink provided the NOEP with materials to promote the Food Stamp, School Breakfast and Summer Food Service Programs throughout New York. More than 90 posters were displayed in schools and grocery stores, and tote bags were passed out at food pantries to spread the word on how people in need can participate in these programs.

"It's with promotional items and collateral materials that we can work together to make a difference."

LOS ANGELES -- The 17-year-old bus that went out of control and crashed on a Southern California mountain highway, leaving seven dead and dozens injured, had a history of brake and other maintenance problems that attracted increased scrutiny from federal safety officials. The bus that was carrying 38 people from the popular Big Bear Lake resort area in the San Bernardino National Forest was slapped with eight violations by safety inspectors in October, for problems ranging from fluid leaks to an improperly installed battery, according Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration data reviewed Monday. According to the records, the bus was flagged for brake issues in at least three inspections since October 2011. The cause of Sunday's crash is unclear, but early information pointed to a brake problem. Driver Norberto B. Perez told investigators the vehicle lost its brakes while traveling down the winding, two-lane road. Passengers reported Perez saying the brakes weren't working as he tried to maintain control before the bus hit a sedan, flipped and plowed into a pickup truck hauling a trailer. Lettering on the bus showed it was operated by Scapadas Magicas LLC, based in National City, near San Diego. The Associated Press tracked the bus's maintenance records using its license plate and vehicle identification number. The small company based about 12 miles from the Mexican border is licensed to carry passengers for interstate travel and had no crashes in the past two years. It retained an overall "satisfactory" rating from the motor carrier administration but had been targeted for a higher rate of inspections linked to bus maintenance, the agency said. Overall, buses operated by the firm flunked 36 percent of random inspections, the records indicate. That's higher than the national average of 21 percent for similar companies. Records show the bus involved in the crash was cited eight times for maintenance problems in October and seven times in July. Overall, the bus recorded 22 safety violations in five inspections conducted between October 2011 and October 2012, including problems with brakes, the windshield and tires. Stephen Keppler of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, a group with industry and government members, said buses and trucks average about two violations for each inspection. Jackie Gillan, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, a Washington-based advocacy group, said the crash points to the need for improved roof strength and other safety measures. "We have a long way to go before we can say boarding a motor coach is as safe as boarding an airplane," she said. Bus passengers "are often riding blindfolded."
From The Scene:
A day trip to a ski resort in Big Bear ended in a horrific, deadly accident when a tour bus full of Mexican tourists crashed and flipped over killing at least 8 people and injuring dozens more.
It happened on State Highway 38 just south of the Mill Creek Ranger station. 911 calls started coming in around 6:30 Sunday night with reports of a bus perched sideways along the mountain road blocking both lanes. When emergency crews arrived they described a chaotic and grisly scene with body parts and backpacks scattered across the road.
"It was probably the worst I'd ever seen," said CHP Officer Mario Lopez. "Because there were multiple vehicles and dozens of passengers involved, this investigation will take time."
Passengers were ejected from the bus and some were crushed underneath it. About 17 people were taken to area hospitals with critical injuries. Over 40 people were involved in the crash.
State Route 38 is a winding mountain road that gets quite narrow at several points with sharp turns but it's not clear what caused the crash that took place on the way down the mountain. The driver of the bus survived the accident and is being questioned by authorities.
Interbus Tours of Tijuana Mexico is the tour operator. The company posted condolences on their website and says they are working with the Mexican consulate to help the families effected.

Accurate and efficient financial reporting is critical to most businesses. Business executives rely on the insight generated from financial reports to allocate budget dollars and ensure money is being properly utilized.
For many data analysts, however, conventional strategies for creating financial reports are too time-consuming and error-prone. This exclusive paper outlines how IBM's Treasury Department alleviated the inefficiencies of their manual, complex reporting processes by implementing a centralized and automated analytics platform.
By leveraging this next-generation system, the Treasury Department was able to gain real-time insight to optimize cash reporting and forecasting, ensure regulatory compliance is met, and more.

Surreptitious computer users, corporate error and other factors have lead to a number of high-profile personal data security breaches, where sensitive information leaves the control of merchants, banks or credit card companies. Congress is looking for the right balance between securing sensitive personal information and not hindering the ability of businesses to use more benign information for legitimate purposes.
AAF position
Data security breaches may be serious violations of one's financial, medical or other personal information. Or they may reveal individual and aggregate data about buying habits, marketing preferences and the like. This difference must be distinguished when deciding how breaches are handled. Brand preference doesn't need to be treated with the same level of security as financial records. The AAF believes some proposed laws aimed at securing data would do more harm than good.
For instance, marketers may keep track of grocery store purchases in order to provide a customer with coupons he or she is most likely to use. Many Web sites will track which links a user clicks on to gauge interest but does so anonymously. This information is used to target ads most likely to be of interest. The AAF believes improved enforcement of existing laws and regulations serves the public better than creating overreaching laws that may stymie innovation and cripple e-commerce.
As a result of several high-profile data security breaches, privacy advocates have called for strict restrictions on data use and guidelines for responding to a breach. Criminal penalties have been proposed, not only for those responsible for the breach, but also for those found to have hidden the breach from the public.
H.R. 4127: Data Accountability and Trust Act (DATA). Introduced by Rep. Cliff Sterns, R-Fla., October 25, 2005. This bill would require companies to report to consumers any breach of security concerning the consumer's personal information. H.R. 4127 was approved by the Energy and Commerce Committee on March 31, 2006.
S. 1408: Identity Theft Protection Act. Introduced by Sen. Gordon Smith, R-Ore., July 14, 2005. Reported out of the Judiciary Committee, this bill requires disclosure of any security breach of over 1,000 persons within 90 days of discovery and establishes procedures for doing so. It allows consumers to freeze their credit report if a breach is reported. The bill was reported on favorably by the Judiciary Committee, November 17, 2005, and has six co-sponsors.
S. 1789: Personal Data Privacy and Security Act of 2005. Introduced by Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., September 29, 2005. This legislation requires companies that have more than 10,000 records to institute security policies and to provide notice of security breaches. Those responsible for the breaches, as well as companies that conceal the breaches, would face criminal penalties. S. 1789 was reported on favorably by the Judiciary Committee, November 17, 2005, and has six co-sponsors.
H.R. 3140: Consumer Data Security and Notification Act of 2005. Introduced by Rep. Melissa Bean, D-Ill., June 30, 2005. This bill would expand the protections for sensitive personal data to include third-party information brokers and enhance data security requirements for consumer reporting agencies. This bill has 16 co-sponsors, but no hearings have been held or scheduled.
H.R. 3374: Consumer Notification and Financial Data Protection Act of 2005. Introduced by Rep. Steven LaTourette, R-Ohio, July 21, 2005. This bill calls for notification to be sent to any consumer who may have had financial information compromised. This bill has one co-sponsor, but no hearings have been held or scheduled.
April 4, 2006:Prior to the passage of H.R. 4127, the AAF joined with several associations in a letter to Commerce Chairman Joe Barton, R-Texas, arguing that security breach notifications should occur only when there is a significant risk of identity theft. After markup, the current form of the bill could result in over-notification of consumers, especially when there is no significant risk of identity theft, resulting in disregard of important notices. May 25, 2006:H.R. 5318: Cyber-Security Enhancement and Consumer Data Protection Act of 2006. Introduced by Judiciary Chairman F. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., May 9, 2006. This bill would impose stricter law enforcement on data thieves, treating security breaches as a judiciary matter. The bill was approved by the House Judiciary Committee on May 25, but has not yet received a House vote.
June 4, 2006: Both H.R. 3997 and H.R. 4127 have passed the House.

I've yet to meet a Rogue I didn't like and Santa's Private Reserve is no exception. Very deep amber color. Nice off-white head. Aggressively hopped (that's a compliment not a complaint). If you didn't know this was a Rogue Ale you might be able to guess anyway. Faint hop aroma but little else in the nose . Breautiful cascading lace action. Not Rogue's best offering but pretty good nonetheless. My biggest complaint is that it lacks the spicey complexity of other winter/Christmas ales I've had (or the spiciness is buried by the hops).

This is one annual I look forward to every year I honestly didnt know it changed every year and maybe it doesnt but I did notice some changes this year.Poured a deep rich amber with reddish tinted well formed 1/2 finger head,the big dose of sprucey,piney hop is there along with some caramel and roasted grain as usual.The big diference I noticed in this years batch is really how thin and for that matter prickly the mouthfeel was it just didnt equate with the flavors,the hop profile is there and a decent sweetish malt base but the body really downgraded it this year.Hmm am I just dreaming or has it changed?

Appearance Beautiful, dark ruby in color with a deep brownish hue. The head frothed up nicely and hung around for an eternity, pitting well as it laced the glass.
Smell Sharp, piney hops along with a sweetish malt balance give this one a classic nose for the style.
Taste Very sharp pine at the tongue along with some complimentary citrus hops. The malt base is smallish (lightly sweetened) but noticeable. Theres some nice floral hopping in there as well.
Mouthfeel The flavors are sharp but the mouth is mild. Its medium-bodied but just so. This ale is dry and very crisp.
Drinkability This is a classic Rogue rendition of the style. Love it or hate it; I love it.
Update I first reviewed this with a 2003 vintage so thought it would be fun to take another look at it with an 05. Its a bit bigger and maltier then I remember it, which improves the balance IMO. Ill keep the ratings the same and high-five the Santa pic on the bottle as I drain this wonderful offering from Rogue.

A hard pour of this rosewood colored beer produces aromas of tea, ale fruit, dark stone fruit, red cherries, blackberry, baked bread. Amazing eggshell colored frapped rootbeer float style head that totally laces the glass.
Taste is more tea with a chewy amber malt body, metallic red ale twang, and floral to spicy hop bitter in the drying finish. This is definately a refreshing take on X-mas beer and this drinks way too easy.

I'm not usually a big holiday beer fan, to be honest, but my girl had picked up a six-pack of this for us to try, so...
Expected warmth, spices - got hop bitterness and a ton of spruce flavor. Not really my thing, but the more I've drank it, the more I've come to understand the spruce - it suggests the season in a different way than other holiday beers. I drank one with Thanksgiving dinner, and it fought with my food a little too much.
Overall, not something I'd have again or be eager to recommend - I suspect that the spruce might put off most of my more hopheaded friends.

Nice aroma of hops, caramel, and a little honey. Beautiful clear red color. Nice creamy, lasting head. Apparently Santa really likes his bitterness since this definitely leans that way, with only understated maltiness to balance it out. This has a decent lightly silky body. Overall I'd like this beer better if the bitterness didn't dominate the experience.

Review from Inaugural Issue of Beeradvocate Magazine.
Rogue's annual holiday brew, an American Winter Warmer that's not spiced, but hopped old-school, with plenty of Chinook and Centennial hops. This year's packaging boasts snowflakes that glisten on the painted label. Um. OK. That's nice. Moving on ...
Tawny color glows in the light; the killer froth leaves big, sticky rings of lace after each sip. Huge cookie and caramel aroma, then slightly piney, spicy and citric from the hops' very aromatic. Rogue-style all the way, clean yeast leaves the malt and hops to duke it out. Rich, malty fl avor gives suggestion of caramel and cake batter with an undertone of dark bread. Hops wield bitterness to balance, with lots of fl avor on top of that. Citric, pine, spruce and deep herbal fl avors come to mind.
By far one of the best winter seasonals around. An easy-drinking, warming and flavorful ale that runs through hop fields with a tasty maltiness by its side, and weird glistening snowflakes illuminating the skies above.

This beer definantly keeps up with the tradition of great holliday ales. It poured a dark ruby/brownish color with a very thick head that stuck to the glass like glue. The scent was hoppy but also had a very detectable scent of yeast. The taste was great, over hopped just enough to give the beer that extra kick. Also had a great citrus overtone to the flavor. This one is not as dry hopped as some of the seasonals I've had, and it is a refreshing beer indeed.

Pours a nice cherry-red color. Smells like a typical Rogue beer. Taste is quite nice, similar to the American Amber and St Rouge Red, but with a spiciness that befits the season (although it makes this one less drinkable that those other fine brews).
Overall, this isn't a bad beer, although I really can't see myself drinking it more than once a year.

Deep chestnut red pour with a frothy off white head sitting on top. Magenta tones shine through when held up to the light. Roasted caramel covered nuts and hints of piney hops on the nose. Subtle frutiness.
Nice roasty, caramel maltiness upfront with a generous helping of pine sap hoppiness. A bit of citrus fruit comes through in the hop as well. Lingering biterness on the back of the palate. Quite a tasty and enjoyable holiday brew!
Mouthfeel is creamy and has adequate body. This is a nice holiday brew that I could easily drink in large amounts. Has a nice balance and a unique hop character. Check this one out if you haven't yet!

Review from notes of having this one Christmas night.
Poured red/caramel in color with a half finger off white head. Smell was light but mostly of citrus and pine hops. A nice malt backbone to this one with a slight resin hop finish. Very crisp taste overall, typical of all Rogue brews. Mouthfeel was relatively thin with little carbonation. Flavor lingers for a bit. I found this one very drinkable and I'll be sure to have another next year.

I have to learn to stop drinking my beers so cold. For the first half (glass) of this beer I was roundly unimpressed, but as it warmed to room temperature, and I poured the 2nd half, all the personality & character came out.
Attractive deep red, at any temperature. Lots of lacing. Malt & appropriate winter-ish spices in the nose. Toasty, malty flavor. Very full bodied, and the hops hit you at the finish. Nicely done. Highly drinkable.

A 22oz bottle, this was a red/brown color with a medium head. It had a sweet, breadlike aroma, and I thought I could detect a piney aroma also. Yes, when I tasted the beer, there were the piney hops. A tiny bit on the astringent side, and I don't think I could drink a lot of these at one sitting, but a very good beer nevertheless.

A - An opaque burgundy with an off-white head and lace that lingers nicely.
S - Buttery caramel/toffee and a little bit of floral aroma from the hops.
T - Caramel and toffee with hints of roasted coffee and dark chocolate. The finish has some pininess from the hops, which is not too bitter.
M - It has a thick body with low carbonation.
O - This beer is quite tasty and has a fairly low abv, which makes this very drinkable and refreshing. Santa's Reserve has a fairly low IBU and is heavy on flavor so I would definitely recommend this beer.

Presentation: 750ml brown bomber with a painted label -- Santa with a mug and a raised fist. No freshness date.
Appearance: Brown with red-ish wood stain hues. Nice fluffy off-white head that sticks and stays. This is an unfiltered ale, so allow it to rest before serving.
Smell: Quite malty with mellow notes of prune and raisin, and alcohol.
Taste: Sweet, rich, full-bodied mellow maltiness with a buttery caramel character (diacetly), juicy fruitiness and breadiness. Goes crisp and dry with definite Munich malt characters, then raw, woody andcoarse with Chinook hops. A sugary candy-like sweetness appears towards the finish and rides along a tea-like flavour until the end.
Notes: Rogue's annual holiday offering, Santa's Private Reserve, is a variation of the classic Saint Rogue Red, but with double the hops--including Chinook, and Centennial, and a mystery hop called Rudolph by head brewer John "more hops" Maier! This holiday elixir is brewed with two-row Harrington, Klages and Munich malts, along with Hugh Baird 30-37, Carastan 13-17, and Crystal 70-80 malts, plus free range coastal water and John's proprietary top-fermenting Pacman yeast. Available in both 22-ounce bottles and on draft. Measurements: 13 degrees Plato, IBU 60, Apparent attenuation 73.1, Lovibond 26.75.
A wonderful winter seasonal to warm the brain. Hop character is very Rogue, very Pacific Northwest in its unbalanced hops, however this is still a very tasty brew.

22 oz bottle. Pours a ruby amber with a thin off-white head that quickly goes down to a thin film that leaves a little lacing.
The aroma is caramel/toffee malts with a little butterscotch and a fruity floral hoppiness.
The flavor is fruity (slightly acidic) butterscotch malts initially followed by a floral piney hop finish that lingers into the aftertaste. It's medium bodied, but with a watery finish that washes out a lot of the flavors except the bitter aftertaste.
Overall, similar to other hoppy ambers (Levitation, Cinder Cone, Red Seal). I really liked the first couple of sips, but the more I had of it the less I liked it.

I poured this and thought, where's the head, darnit! Answered the phone and came back to a nice 1/2 inch creamy head that now won't go away. It's all good.
Taste is really pine-tree hoppy to me. It's good and doesn't linger. It's not like sucking on a pine-cone. I get a more malty scent than the taste lets on.
This is a highly drinkable beer because there isn't a whole lot going on. Seems like a pale ale not a red ale, maybe I need to try more red ales to get a better idea about them. Whatever this is, I like it.

Milwaukee area nonprofits are vital to our region and enrich our community through their programs, outreach and support. To recognize some of these standout leaders, Northwestern Mutual, through its Foundation, is announcing grants totaling $100,000 to winners of its annual Days of Sharing program. Lannon resident Thomas Cook, in the enterprise technology management department of Northwestern Mutual, was chosen to receive a $10,000 grant that will go to the Wisconsin chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
*** Watch us surprise this year's Days of Sharing winners in this YouTube video.***
More than 800 employees nominated their favorite local nonprofit as part of the Days of Sharing program this year. The 25 winning grants were chosen at random each day for a week in November and range in size from $1,000 to $10,000.

Rumours emerged today that John Henry and FSG were considering selling their other club, the Boston Red Sox baseball franchise. Henry has now come out to categorically deny these rumours.
The Red Sox are reportedly putting out feelers to potential new owners, reports FOX Business Network.
While owner John Henry talks of the club's goal of building success by developing youth, Liverpool's lack of activity on the final day of the transfer window could damage the development of Raheem...
Following the disappointing events of Friday, when the transfer window closed and left Liverpool with fewer attacking options than they had when it opened, it was only a matter of time before ownership would respond in an attempt to placate an angry fanbase. That has now happened, with John Henry writing an open letter to Liverpool fans that hits all the points one would expect—talented younger players like Joe Allen and Fabio Borini, a belief in Financial Fair Play, increasing revenues to bolster spending, and overcoming the "errors of previous regimes." Talk of avoiding risky spending and being willing to invest heavily so long as that investment is sound may make sense, but it largely ignores the core concerns of many following Friday. Concerns about Ian Ayre and the entire upper management reportedly calling it a day hours before the close of the transfer window. Concerns about the appearance of Rodgers having to sell to buy—and then not being allowed to buy. Concerns about the club having three months to add depth and failing while at the very least appearing to undermine the manager given his many public statements leading up to the window's close. As owners, Fenway Sports Group have always said the right things, and so it's no surprise to see them do so once again. Actions, however, will always speak louder, and it will take a lot to overcome the actions of last week.

Dear Dolores,
Thanks to Jeb Bing for this update.
I was surprised that David Harmer could only achieve a 92 vote margin in South Contra Costa County during a year of Tea Party upsets. API and other news services provided explanation as growing moderate voting among the majority and greater diversity in the population. The shift seems to be driven by voters independently informing themselves on the economics related to candidate choices and relying little on published or social media for presentation of candidates.
Additionally, politics on facebook and twitter have been viewed by California voters in polling as biased and untrustworthy. Sarah Palin's overall commentary via social media during the election campaigns had a negative impact on California Tea Party and GOP candidates according the news service polling.
It does present an interesting picture going in the 2012 elections. It will be hard to determine how California might emerge as the maker of the President and Congress, by example, in 2012 as we become a primary economy in USAmerica's recovery.
Your readers' thoughts will be interesting reading.

It'll be interesting to see how the money gets spent in the next election. The Supremes have abandoned all pretense regarding corporate and union money contributions, which should aid Republicans, on balance -- but in the age of TiVo and its kin, TV commercials can be fast-forwarded, or at least muted, with blessed impunity. For example, I suspect that many voters tuned-out Ms Whitman's aggressive and jarring attack ads after a while, such that they literally fell on deaf ears. Money badly spent, methinks.
There are only a few commercials that I will sit-through these days, and they're mostly humorous -- the rabbits/baby-rattler, the baby investor in solitary, and the wood-chucking woodchucks being prime among them. Maybe Fox and MSNBC will also abandon pretense and become formal, paid mouthpieces for their respective ideologies?
How the web figures-in is beyond me. Anyone?
In others news, the site's spam filter below seems to claim you mis-typed any time you take long enough to try and develop a worthwhile posting to the thread. Can that period be lengthened?

Favorite Dish: Walnut and Fig and Dark Green salad
What was a typical day like for you while abroad?
Typically, I would wake up around 8:00 in the morning and go down to the Trionfale market to get the most delectable produce, fresh everyday. Then I would walk down to school and go to class, often on site on the other side of the city. Around 1:00 we all piled into the 'deli' to get our panini, eat them outside, finish class, and then walk home (usually hopping the trolley) and make up some dinner. Then we'd go walk around, usually to Trestevere, doing the odds and ends that had to be done for school.
What will you remember most from your study abroad experience and why?
I will remember most the isolation that I felt everyday, no matter how accepting and willing to work with the barriers the people around me were. This isn't supposed to sound as negative as it might in a short answer. Sounds become both more muffled and cerebral, because you listen more and understand less. It makes certain brain chemistries swirl differently. Then there is the flow of people, which move in such masses that only amplifies the sensation of being out to sea. It all seems to fly through these tunnels of color and mazes.
Describe your best travel experience.
Really, every travel experience was magical when we got to fly for a couple reasons. When you travel from country to country in Europe you're inundated with this din of sensations from the languages to the smells, and yet there is always this piece of the familiar that you take with you, whether it be the way pavement looks on a cloudy day to the song and dance of the flight attendants, no matter what language. Now, to highlight two trips, they would have to be Venice and Berlin- both were crested by these really arduous adventures to the airports, waiting, freezing, but then when we got into the plane and we were warm, the sky would almost unfailingly map out what the trip would feel like. On our way to Venice we flew at sunrise and it was an operetta of color and light and space. The flight over the Alps to Berlin, however, was steely and white and silent.

Train company Canadian National has determined that weather was a major factor in two train derailments in the Northland this winter.
CN says on December 5, the derailment in Two Harbor was a result of heavy snow and frigid temperatures. Nearly 100 ore cars loaded with pellets derailed in the train yard, and two people on board were hurt.
CN also told Eyewitness News that on February 25, the derailment near Fairbanks occurred when an ice-filled track switch did not close completely, triggering a stop signal. The company says the train passed the stop signal and 50 ore cars and two locomotives went off the tracks when it over the switch.

Some 350 people from the surrounding villages have joined or been born in Auroville.

ANDERSON — An Alexandria native born Linda Lou Taylor has received notoriety again for her 12-year-old record for 23 marriages.
On Saturday, the Indianapolis Star published a piece about the woman, now known as Linda Wolfe, of Anderson. She last wed in 1996 and has earned a Guinness world record as the most-married woman in history.
She remembers her first husband, George Scott, whom she married in 1957, as the nicest. She was just 16 and he 31. She married Jack Gourley three times and was wed to Fred Chadwick for just 36 hours.
Taylor's nuptials have led to appearances on the talk shows of Geraldo Rivera, Phil Donahue, Joan Rivers and Maury Povich.

I refer to him as Not-Fausto Carmona instead of Roberto Hernandez Heredia because I don't think many people are yet comfortable with the name Roberto Hernandez Heredia. It doesn't seem familiar yet. It will in time. Anyway, that guy is still hanging out in the Dominican Republic. He was arrested for using a false identity, you remember, and he was recently placed on baseball's restricted list. What's next? Well, unsurprisingly, Not-Carmona is hoping for a return before long:
The pitcher Roberto Hernandez, formerly known as Fausto Carmona, told The Associated Press he hopes to obtain a judicial pardon and return to the Cleveland Indians this season.
"I'm doing all that is necessary so that when the pardon is granted, I won't have to wait long to play again," he said Wednesday.
Within that article, there are references to Not-Carmona returning "this season" and "this year". There's nothing more specific. I don't know if the expected time frame is somewhere in April, or somewhere in September. I don't know if anybody really knows yet.
One notes that the Indians' rotation is currently full, even without Not-Carmona. That is, if you believe in Kevin Slowey, which, statistically, you might. It's hard to say where Not-Carmona might fit, but it's also hard to say what the pitching staff might look like if and when he's cleared to return.
While in the Dominican, Not-Carmona has been teaching young players about the dangers of assuming a false identity. Hopefully before many of them have already begun assuming false identities.

Colorado Family Portraits | Evergreen Lake House Family Photographer
The family on today's blog post are one of the cutest little families I've had the pleasure of photographing in awhile. They drove all the way out to Evergreen, Colorado so that we could get some pretty mountain scenery in the photos and as usual, the Evergreen lake house was totally worth the drive. I love their casual clothing that their mom picked out too. The colors look great together while not being too perfectly matched up. And even though the boys were all pretty young they were so good in front of the camera! They took direction so well and we came away with a ton of nice photos for them. Here is just a little sneak peek of what we got:)
Mom is an avid photographer herself and dad wanted me to make sure to get her alone since she's always the one taking the photos in their family:)
It's so nice when mom and dad make sure to get a nice updated photo of themselves alone too.
I love this one:)

Colorado High School Senior Photographer | South Mesa Trail Boulder
I've been filling up my evenings lately with photographing teenagers who are going to be high school seniors this coming school year. It is such a nice change of pace to get to focus on just one subject at a very exciting time in their life. And it's been fun brainstorming some beautiful places to go to. Colorado is filled with gorgeous locations and the South Mesa Trail next to Eldorado Springs (and just a little bit south of Boulder) is quickly turning into one of my new favorite areas. Kelly is a Colorado girl through and through. She enjoys hiking and outdoor activities and has climbed a ton of 14ers so I thought that this rustic location would be perfect for her.
I love that there is tall wild straw like grass, apple trees, a nice mountain stream, purple mountain majesties, and even an abandoned historic building. I met with Kelly and her mom who made the trip up from Castle Rock at the South Mesa Trail last week. We had already postponed the session due to rain and it was threatening to do the same on our rescheduled date. This time we decided to go for it and hope for the best and it ended up being a lovely evening. I had a really hard time narrowing down the sneak peek photos so I decided to just share a bunch this time:)
If you're looking to get high school senior yearbook photos created, contact me soon. (email@example.com or 720-771-7314) There are a handful of dates left in August and September is already filling quickly too. In Colorado, most schools require the yearbook photo to be turned in by the end of October and you don't want to run out of time!
I saved this one for last because I just love that scenery!

Colorado High School Senior Photographer | Clear Creek History Park in Golden
It's senior photo season which I love because it's really fun to photograph teenagers as they embark on their final year of living at home and move on to the next phase in their life. They're not children anymore, but essentially it's the last professional photoshoot they'll have from their "childhood." And I find it to be such an honor to photograph them for their yearbook photo. It's the image that people will look back on years later to remember them by and I want them to look good!
I'm lucky because this year a lot of my roller derby friends have kids who are seniors. Today on the blog I'm featuring Tony who is my friend Beth's son. She actually had the adventure of a lifetime when she starred in the Amazing Race (she went all the way to 3rd place on season 22!) but it really seems that her adventure back here at home still keeps her incredibly busy. She has a cute blog I linked to below where she cracks jokes about her life as a mom, a roller derby skater, and a "Z" list celebrity (her words, not mine!) that I hope she starts updating again soon:)
Soon her oldest will be leaving the nest and to commemorate his last year of high school we met up at the Clear Creek History Park in Golden Colorado to create some portraits of him. He is a great baseball player and pitches for his high school and for non-school leagues. We made sure to get a few baseball themed shots but I know my favorites are in the plaid shirt. Check them out below!

Boulder Engagement Photographer | Eldorado Springs Romantic Portraits
You may remember an old post from last December when my little brother in law proposed to his girlfriend Lauren at the Blossoms of Light holiday display at Denver Botanic Gardens. (See the link below to refresh your memory!) They are getting married on Valentine's Day at the Highlands Ranch Mansion and we were finally able to make their engagement photos happen over the weekend. Earlier in the year I discovered a beautiful location just outside of Eldorado Springs called the South Mesa Trail. We decided to go there to get a beautiful view of those Boulder mountains. Brandon and Lauren are such a good looking couple it would have been impossible not to get good photos, but I am still loving how they turned out.

I love so many of the photos that I don't think I have a favorite this time. But I just love their expressions in this one so I saved it for last:)
