MINNEAPOLIS — The effort expended into a 97-yard, game-tying drive for Northwestern was undone in about 10 seconds.
Jalen Myrick returned a kickoff 100 yards to atone for a penalty on the previous drive and help Minnesota defeat Northwestern, 24-17, on Saturday.
After Northwestern (3-3, 2-1 Big Ten) drove nearly the length of the field to tie the game at 17 midway through the fourth quarter, Myrick raced through a big hole on the left side and out-ran the Wildcats down the sideline for the winning score.
"We met on Monday to discuss the importance of special teams," Wildcats coach Pat Fitzgerald said. "I think I was right. Obviously, we failed as coaches to get our guys ready."
Mitch Leidner was 10 for 15 for 153 yards and ran for two touchdowns and David Cobb added 97 yards rushing on 30 carries for the Golden Gophers (5-1, 2-0), who didn't lose any momentum during the bye week after a convincing win at Michigan.
After opening conference play with a win at Penn State and then upsetting Wisconsin last week, the Wildcats had a chance to start 3-0 in the Big Ten for the first time since 2000.
"Of course it's a huge bummer to end this streak," cornerback Nick VanHoose said. "Last year, we didn't win a Big Ten game until our last game, which was completely unacceptable. Going into Big Ten play this year, we've had a better mindset to go in and have a real shot to win a Big Ten championship."
Wildcats running back Justin Jackson, a true freshman, rushed for 106 yards and Trevor Siemian completed 32 of 50 passes for 269 yards and a touchdown. He rushed for another score, but also threw a game-ending interception while trying to rally the Wildcats after Myrick's electrifying return.
The Wildcats outgained the Gophers 393-274, but managed just 17 points off 84 plays in a game that didn't provide anything flashy between two throwback offenses that prefer to grind games out on the ground and avoid costly mistakes in the passing game.
"We knew that's what we were going to get," Fitzgerald said. "We tried to create some schemes to get some guys open: back shoulder things that were dropped, missed go-route for a touchdown, had a double move called back because of illegal formation, want me to keep going?"
Siemian's rushing touchdown capped off a game-tying drive that started at Northwestern's 3-yard line. The Wildcats took advantage of a pass interference call on Myrick and two personal fouls to move to the Gophers' 2-yard line. On third-and-goal from the Minnesota 10, Siemian threw incomplete, but the drive was extended by a roughing the passer call on Briean Boddy-Calhoun. Gophers coach Jerry Kill was also penalized on the play for unsportsmanlike conduct after he slammed his clipboard to the turf and yelled at the officials.
Northwestern couldn't cover the ensuing kick, which led to the Gophers' game-winning touchdown from Myrick.
"It was set up perfectly," Myrick said. "As soon as I caught it, I looked to the left to make sure everything was cool. The hole was so open, there was (no option) but to go that way. Once I hit it, it went for a touchdown."
Jackson was a bright spot for the Wildcats, who entered Saturday with the second-worst yards per carry average (3.3) in the Big Ten. In the past two games, Jackson has racked up 268 of his 396 rushing yards this season — averaging 4.8 yards per carry in that span.
Jackson added four catches for 50 yards and a touchdown reception, but was limited to just two touches in Northwestern's final three drives with the Wildcats playing catch-up.
"Some plays we played well (enough) to win," Jackson said. "Other times we shot ourselves in the foot. It's what had us losing the beginning of the season. We have to correct that as we play a great team, Nebraska."
Northwestern hosts Nebraska (5-1, 1-1) for their annual homecoming on Oct. 18.

Rodgers and the Packers start the season as our No. 1. National Football Post
17. Dallas Cowboys: The Cowboys addressed the secondary this offseason, but if they want to make a run at the playoffs QB Tony Romo has to play at a high level.
US PRESSWIRERookie Russell Wilson gets the start this week vs. Arizona.
18. Seattle Seahawks: Alright Russell Wilson, show us what you got.
19. San Diego Chargers: No Vincent Jackson? The Chargers and Philip Rivers will still throw the ball all over the field.
20. Carolina Panthers: Can Steve Smith have another Pro Bowl season with Cam Newton at QB?
21. New York Jets: We know Tebow will be on the field running "gadget plays," but this is still Mark Sanchez's offense—for now.
22. Oakland Raiders: With a full offseason of work, Carson Palmer should play like a proven veteran at the QB position.
23. Tennessee Titans: We like the Titans' offense with Jake Locker at QB because of his ability to throw the vertical game and make plays outside of the pocket.
24. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Greg Schiano coached this team hard in camp—and they needed it after packing it in to end the 2011 season.
25. Washington Redskins: Mike Shanahan has a true playmaker at QB, but he has to open up the offense this year.
26. Indianapolis Colts: The transition to a 3-4 scheme could lead to some early struggles on defense, but Andrew Luck looks like the real deal.
27. Arizona Cardinals: The Cards have a Top 5 talent in Larry Fitzgerald and drafted Notre Dame's Michael Floyd, but the QB position is shaky at best.
28. Jacksonville Jaguars: MJD is back, but we are looking at QB Blaine Gabbert's development is his second season.
29. St. Louis Rams: Can Fisher turn the Rams around in his first season? He needs help from Sam Bradford to get it done.
30. Minnesota Vikings: The Vikings have holes at the WR position and we don't know when Adrian Peterson will be back at full strength.
31. Miami Dolphins: Starting rookie Ryan Tannehill is the right call, but don't expect immediate results in Miami.
32. Cleveland Browns: The Browns are young and inexperienced at key positions. Not good when you play in the loaded AFC North.

So, I've gotten several friends to play LoL and they've both gotten to lvl 10+, and I didn't get anything for it. My question is: why is the bar set so high for friend referrals? Why do I have to refer 50 people and get them to lvl 10 to get the special warwick skin? My thinking is this: the friend referral system has such ridiculously high standards that I'm not even interested in spending the time to send the referral emails to that many people. If they were to significantly lower these standards. Say after 5 friend referrals, you get a special champion skin of your choosing. Or you get a month long IP boost. Now if that was the case, I might actually go out of my way to recruit more friends to reach one of those referral tiers. However, as it is, the bar is set so high, It's not even possible for me to refer enough people to get to the cool benefits.
I'm going to ask friends to try LoL either way, but I'm just not too excited about the difficulty of getting rewards.
Anybody else thinking the same thing?
Emissary of the League
You already get free boosts every 5 or so. 10 people gets you 975 RP. Its not supposed to be a short term "oh look I'm done" You're supposed to be recruiting for as long as you're playing. Grez has 1500 referrals.
you don't necessarily refer friends to get the prizes, you refer friends because you want to play the game with them
the rewards are just a nice bonus
of course, there are those that do set out to acquire the rewards... you'll have to ask them how they rationalize it :]
I agree that Riot should give people something to shoot for, but there's no way I'm getting more than about 5 referrals to get past lvl 10. So, if there's no significant benefit for doing that. Then, I'm not even gonna bother referring the people that I get to play. Grez is probably getting friends of friends to refer him or using a website. Good for him, but I'm not going to be able to invite more people than my friends who already play videogames which is around 5 people. So, unlikely grez, once I invite all the people I already know, my friend referrals stop there and I will probably never make it to the 5 friend referral award b/c those people already play LoL.
Lucid Dreaming
The referral system obviously isn't for you then.
Well I guess nobody really agrees with me then. I've recruited my brother who recruited 4 friends and I recruited another friend who also recruited 3 more. I had a friend recruit me, and since they reset the referral rewards. I haven't seen a single boost. Eh, I'm not griping b/c I don't like the current system. I'm just saying, I don't feel that I or anyone has a realistic chance of getting to any of those rewards.
P.S. I haven't seen a single medieval twitch or warwick.
and -1 my thread for everyone immediately agreeing w/ the emissary of the league. Of course he's gonna say that the current setup is perfect.
I'm sure they expect 1 person to get to 10k if that.
Only a few to get 1k.
Only a handful to get to 350.
975rp is worth it to me to get 10 then I stop.

We figured that Motorola would be among the first to roll out Android 4.4 updates to their phones, considering the company's relationship with Google. But I don't think anyone suspected that the company would begin rolling out software updates within the month. According to an anonymous tipster, Verizon is beginning the soak test process for the Android 4.4 update to the Moto X, a strong indicator that it could be sent to all the Moto X units on Verizon within a few weeks.
There are a plethora of little visual tweaks in Android 4.4, but few of them will be in your face as much as the new white status bar icons. The decision to move away from Holo blue was a bit surprising, but removing the color-based connectivity indicator? What gives? Well, a Google engineer has chimed in on Google+ to explain the rationale.
For serious web addicts, sometimes Chrome just doesn't do it. Dolphin is one of the more popular and, more importantly, more consistent browsers available on the Play Store. But some Nexus 5 owners weren't happy to see that their favorite alternate browser had a killer KitKat bug: it couldn't zoom in with the standard pinching gesture. After a bit of time in beta, the fix has now been applied to the stable build in version 10.1.2.
Last week, Google released a massive update to the Search app for Android 4.1+ phones and tablets. Inside that refreshed APK, though, is a somewhat sneaky surprise: all the necessary bits for the Nexus 5's "Google Experience" launcher. All you need to get it working is the launcher app pulled from the Nexus 5, and you'll be up and running GEL-style.
If you want a detailed look at the new launcher, be sure to check out the relevant sections of Liam's Getting To Know Android 4.4 post, which goes into crazy detail as to all the changes you'll discover over the old AOSP launcher.
Now that the Android 4.4 KitKat fanfare is (finally) settling down, it's time to revisit our Getting To Know Android series, where we bring to light the new and awesome changes in Google's newest mobile OS - exposing the big stuff right along with some interface changes you may not have noticed yet.
There are plenty of new pixels in Android 4.4, changed UI elements, new design patterns, and a slightly more sophisticated language to decode, along with plenty of new features.
So far Samsung has been right on the money when it comes to the much-anticipated Android 4.3 update for its major phones. Today customers with the AT&T model of the Galaxy S4 are getting the last version of Jelly Bean, according to this (very long) thread on XDA. It looks like the update file started going out to customers a few hours after midnight, so technically Samsung is a day late - then again, the schedule was leaked, so it's hard to hold that against them.
Following closely behind the 2012 and 2013 Nexus 7 KitKat OTA updates, it's finally the Nexus 10's turn to receive the same treatment. You can now flash the 219MB KRT16O Android 4.4 build without having to wait for your tablet to alert you, no matter what your rooting/bootloader situation is. Of course, if you've modified the system partition in such a way that the OTA won't apply cleanly anymore, you have to either revert those changes or wait for the factory image.
Yesterday, Google announced the kickoff of the KitKat OTAs for the Nexus 7 and 10, though we haven't seen the update for the 2012 N7 actually pop up until a few minutes ago. (If you have a 2013 Nexus 7, head over here.)
2012 Nexus 7 Wi-Fi (not 3G yet) owners, listen up. You can now flash the 185MB KRT16O Android 4.4 build without waiting any longer, no matter what your rooting/bootloader situation is.
Now that the KitKat update has started rolling out to various Nexus devices, we're, unfortunately, seeing no traces of the Google Experience Launcher, which confirms an earlier report stating as much. No GEL means no transparency in the default and a pretty barebones boring AOSP launcher. It also means no Google Now integration and no "Ok Google" hotword support while on any home screen.
Boring Nexus 7 launcher
However, not all is lost.
Last night, roughly two weeks after the Nexus 5's release, Google announced the first round of KitKat updates for the Nexus 10 and 2012/2013 Nexus 7. While most of us are still waiting our turn, maniacally mashing the Check for updates button, the over-the-air update url has been discovered.
That means you can easily flash the 243MB KRT16O Android 4.4 build right now without waiting any further, no matter what your rooting/bootloader situation is.

Lou Lamoriello: Devils Coach Pete DeBoer Will Return Next Season
"There are a lot of rumors going on, a lot of misinformation about our coach," Lamoriello said after the first period of the Devils' 3-2 win over Boston. "So, I'm going to step out of character and put this to rest."
Brodeur, Devils Edge Bruins 3-2 To Close Out Season

The New Jersey Devils' slim playoff hopes got even slimmer after suffering three more shootout defeats in their last four games.

That Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur doesn't like former NHL agitator extraordinaire Sean Avery isn't exactly news. But the back and forth between the two of late sure is.

On the cusp of a playoff berth after winning five of seven games coming out of the Olympic break, the Devils are suddenly in trouble after losing games in Florida to the Panthers and Lightning over the weekend.
Hartnett: The Rangers On The Brink Of A Collapse? Not So Fast
Sunday's deflating 1-0 defeat to San Jose might lead Rangers fans to the conclusion that their team is teetering on the edge of a cliff. It's understandable why some fans are fearing the worst. But the glass is still half full.

Jennifer Lopez Has Wango Tango Malfunction (PHOTOS)
Jennifer Lopez had some trouble performing On the Floor on the stage Saturday at Wango Tango at Staple's Center in Los Angeles, but the American Idol host handled it like a pro.
During the middle of her energetic performance, Lopez's music and sound completely went out! After a brief second of a stunned look, JLo kept on dancing no sound and all.
The audience applauded and started singing the hit tune while tech folks tried to get Jennifer back and running. Once it got fixed Jennifer did her performance again from the top sounding better than ever, and looking pretty hot too in a skintight suit.
Lopez tweeted after:
"Really?!! The whole sound system goes down? But..... "NO ONE HOLDS MOMMA DOWN!!!!" Haha!! LIVE SHOW, SPEAKERS OUT, FUN TIMES!"Matthew Morrison (who hung backstage near the VnC Cocktails bar with a newly brunette Chord Overstreet) and Ke$ha, who was seen chatting with Paris Hilton.
Joe Jonas was also there but kept a low profile, paying more attention to the actual concert than celebs and media hanging backstage.
Celebuzz's favorite look of the night? A gorgeous Britney Spears in a pink dress who cohosted the event with Ryan Seacrest.
Check out more pics from the concert right here.

Initial communication was great with current analysts and recruiters, were informative of the application process the whole time. Notified promptly about an interview. The interview itself was very casual. Pretty standard behavioral interview. For client service, they asked some hypothetical questions about how you would handle a certain situation if you were an analyst. Also related some of the relevant skills and activities of the position when asking about past experiences, especially internships.Interview Questions

Disney Info
A trip to Disney World in Orlando is an exciting adventure whether it's your first or 100th visit. Disney World actually encompasses four major theme parks--Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and the Animal Kingdom.
Here's a quick rundown of the four parks and what to look for in each as you plan your trip:
Magic Kingdom. Journey into four lands of enchantment: Adventureland, Tomorrowland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Main Street USA and Fantasyland. Each land radiates in pathways across a total of 107 acres from the iconic Cinderella Castle.
Epcot. It's been called a "permanent world's fair" because of its dedication to the celebration of ongoing human achievement and innovation. It's big--about 300 acres--and many people make trips just to see EPCOT (Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow).
Hollywood Studios. Dedicated to filmmaking and entertainment, Hollywood Studios contains Hollywood Boulevard, Echo Lake, Streets of America, Animation Courtyard, Pixar Place and Sunset Boulevard. It's about 135 acres and doesn't have a defined layout. It instead attempts to recreate the more random layout of a motion picture studio.
Animal Kingdom. The largest of the four parks at about 500 acres, Animal Kingdom is built around animal conservation. It features seven areas: Oasis, Discovery Island, Camp Minnie-Mickey, Africa, Rafiki's PlanetWatch, Asia and DinoLand USA (also, Avatar Land is planned). Animal Kingdom isn't just a theme park--it's a zoological park, so be ready to see some real wildlife!
Tips for Traveling with Kids to Disney World
Kids Getting Tired? Head Back to the Vacation Rental and Other Great Tips for Taking Children to Disney World
The great thing about staying in vacation rentals when visiting Disney World is that you can make your accommodations your home away from home. In fact, you can pack much of what you need for your kids and take it with you, saving time and money upon your arrival, and leaving more time and more money for the fun stuff at the park. Here are some tips for making the most of traveling with children to Disney World.
Disney World's FastPass lets you reserve spots at popular attractions. You arrange a time slot, and when it arrives, you bypass the long line. Similarly, they have a Rider Swap option, which allows one person to stay behind with a child who's too young or simply doesn't want to ride a particular ride. Then, the person who waited with the child can ride without waiting in line again.

This one's for very young children--probably under the age of 5 or 6. Instead of paying full price for souvenirs from the park, watch for sales at your local Disney Store, stock up on favorite items, and then give them to your little ones when you're at the park. It will keep them from asking for the more expensive items. Of course, you can always buy them something special at the park and using this tactic will help keep money in your pocket so you can get them something really special when you're there.
Slow Down.
Odds are, you're not going to see everything at Disney World, unless you're there for a week. Even then, going slow is the best option, especially if you have very young children. Keep in mind that you're there to make memories, and you don't want everyone's memory to include being tired, worn out and crabby.
Stay Hydrated.
This kind of relates to slowing down. Children often forget to drink fluids, or they get so excited that they don't want to. Carry water with you and have it available when they're ready. Be sure to get water every time you stop for a meal or take a break. While sport drinks can be great on a hot day, be selective about which ones and how much you provide to your children. They have nutrients, but they also have calories. Water is almost always the best option. Hydrate your skin as well by taking along spray bottles with battery operated fans. Buy yours outside the park and save a bundle.
Start Early, Take Breaks, Don't Stay Too Late.
They key to avoiding the crowds on popular rides is to get to them before everyone else. Prep your kids in advance for getting up early--tweens and teens may grouse about it, but in the end they'll thank you. Getting the "must do" stuff out of the way will help everyone relax and be less stressed. Then, be sure to stop and look at the scenery frequently. Starting early will help you have the time to do so. And be sure not to stay too late. Sure, you may want to be at the Magic Kingdom at night a couple of times, but taking breaks can help. Or, if you get to the park early two days out of three, you can get there a bit later on the third day so you can catch the fireworks. You can also leave the park for a period of time and head back to your vacation rental to catch a nap, then head back later in the afternoon or early evening.
Orlando Shopping
Malls, Flea and Farmer's Market – Plenty of Shopping Options in Orlando
There are lots of places to shop in
that don't have Disney or Universal in their names. In fact, The Florida Mall is the largest in the region and features big names such as Nordstrom's, Saks, Aeropastale, A&F and more--260 in all. Mall at Millenia is a high-end mall, beautifully designed and brimming with delicious restaurants. You'll find 150 stores, including Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, Gucci, Tiffany and more. You'll also find a US Post Office, Currency Exchange International, valet parking, and concierge service. All that can be a great relief when you're cramming in as much fun into one day as possible. Also, the architecture is quite dramatic and not what you find in your typical mall.
Of course, Orlando has its share of outlet malls as well. There are two Orlando Premium Outlets--one at 8200 Vineland Avenue with 150 shops, and one at 4951 International Drive (formerly Prime Outlets), with 180 shops. Closer to Disney, you'll find Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores (15657 S. Apopka Vineland Rd), which features the Disney Character Outlet, with discounted Disney merchandise.
If you're truly serious about finding deals, and perhaps getting to know Orlando better than by just visiting the malls, then check out the Orlando flea markets. Flea World is huge and is located between Orlando and Sanford, on Highway 17-92 (4211 S. Orlando Drive, Sanford, FL). It's only open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. You'll find 1,700 booths indoors and outdoors, with the indoor booths air-conditioned. If you need to keep the kids entertained, there's a pavilion featuring circus acts, magic shows, acrobats and exotic animals, which are free, and a small amusement park called Funworld. Of course, all the prices are quite a bit less than Disney or Universal Studios, so it might be a fun, low-key way to close out a trip. The 192 Flea Market Outlet (4301 West Vine Street, Kissimmee, FL) has 400 booths and is the place to go for budget Disney souvenirs. You also find discounted souvenirs at Maingate Flea Market (5407 W. Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway, Kissimmee). If you're willing to drive a bit, try the Osceola Flea & Farmers Market between Kissimmee and St. Cloud (2801 E. Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway, Kissimmee). You'll find fresh produce, 900 booths and a garage sale section where locals can sell without renting a booth. You might pick up some real finds.
Tips for Visiting Universal Studios
Stay the Whole Week in Your Vacation Rental to Make Time for Universal Studios Orlando
Second in size only to Disney, Universal Studios Orlando can be a trip in itself. Many people combine a few days at Disney with a day or two at Universal Studios, but don't make the mistake of thinking you can see all of it in one day. Ideally, you'll be able to stay in an Orlando vacation rental for a week and take in both.
Universal Studios Orlando is comprised of two theme parks: the Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. Within Islands of Adventure is the wildly popular Wizarding World of Harry Potter. There's also an entertainment area, Universal CityWalk, complete with dining and nightlife, and three resorts--Portofino Bay, Hard Rock and Royal Pacific Hotels. It's not nearly as big as Disney, but still requires about three days to take it all in at a pace you'll enjoy. By staying in a vacation rental, you'll save a lot of money versus the onsite hotels, which can get quite expensive. Even if you're not staying onsite, you can still visit the resorts and take advantage of the dining, entertainment and relaxation they offer.
Wizarding World of Harry Potter
. Many say this park sets the new standard for amusement park attractions. Whether you've read the books, seen the movies or just heard of Harry Potter, you're going to love the magical places you can explore--the classrooms and corridors of Hogwarts, the shops of Hogsmeade, Dragon Challenge, a high speed roller coaster, The Flight of the Hippograff, designed for younger riders, and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, which takes you on a soaring adventure with magical creatures from the books and movies.
Islands of Adventure isn't just Harry Potter
. There's the Amazing Adventure of Spiderman, The Cat in the Hate, Jurassic Park River Adventure and much more.
Universal Studios Florida offers The Simpsons Ride, Shrek 4-D, MEN IN BLACK Alien Attack, Curious George, The Blues Brothers Show and a lot more.
Parking at Universal Studios
is in multilevel garages and include a long covered walkway to CityWalk and the theme parks. You can park even closer by paying extra for parking areas nearest the CityWalk, which will also get you as close as possible to the theme parks.
You'll need waterproofing
for many of the rides at Islands of Adventure. Be sure to buy cheap plastic ponchos at home and something watertight for your cash, credit cards and tickets. For cameras and other large items, consider tucking a kitchen trash bag into your purse or pocket.
Bring your own drinks too
. This is allowed and you'll save money on the more expensive theme park prices.
As with any multi-day visit to a big theme park, be sure to pace yourself. Don't push yourself, your spouse, or your kids to see everything in one day. And if you can't see everything in one trip, don't fret--certainly everyone will want to return very soon!

text: Our cat was rescued by us when he was around a year old. We noticed that he always was breathing loudly and snorting--the vet told us he had chronic allergies/nasal problems. Last fall, he started sneezing almost constantly and giant yellow snot wads would come out of his nose. He also stopped grooming himself, etc. I took him to the vet and she gave me Clavamox to help clear up the infection. It worked, but as soon as I stopped giving him the pills, the infection came back. Then the vet prescribed azithromycin and that also cleared up whatever he had. She also had me giving him L-lysine gel to help him fight off the virus he probably has. She told me to give him 12 mg/day of Benadryl if he needed it and that really seems to help, but it seems like every time he goes off antibiotics, his sinus infections come back. I can't afford to keep buying antibiotics from the vet and it doesn't seem like they are clearing it up anyway. Has anyone else had a cat with this problem?? What did you try and did it work? Thanks!

As careers in science, technology, engineering, and math become more prevalent, community colleges are shifting their focus to meet demand and secure their place in a rapidly changing educational landscape.
A recent study reveals that job applicants with a credential or associate's degree from a community college have slightly better chances of getting a job interview than students who attend a for-profit college or university. Since community colleges are much more budget friendly than for-profit institutions and have much better job placement results, community colleges are a much better option for employment-minded students.
Nearly 52 percent of community college students in the United States begin their freshman year in at least one remedial class. These courses, which help students acquire knowledge and skills they should have acquired in high school, do not count toward their degree requirements. As a result, students are taking longer than ever to obtain their degree, if they obtain one at all.

Severe upward pressure on electric rates after a decade of stability has regulators, legislators, utility executives, consumer advocates, and myriad other stakeholders searching for solutions....
Energy Trading: Down But Not Out
The speculative electricity trading industry has a bad case of rigor mortis, but current efforts might breathe new life into the practice.
reporting approach will require companies to retool their trading systems so they can categorize transactions and report the appropriate data separately for the CCRO tables.
"When you break up the portfolio like that, it drives you to focus on each of those categories," Allott says. "If you break it out you can see how much of earnings is influenced by the proprietary trading book, and you can actually represent the variability of physical facilities—that is, to represent a power plant as a power plant." Such a view of trading activities should provide significant insight into a company's risk profile.
And finally, with respect to trading, the CCRO's recommendations regarding valuation and risk metrics are pertinent. However, they are non-prescriptive enough that any reasonable risk-management process should cover the recommended practices without much trouble. Indeed, the industry seems already to have moved beyond some of what the CCRO is recommending in this area (see " Where the CCRO Fell Short ").
One possible reason for the CCRO's broad-brush approach to valuation and risk metrics is that no universally agreeable set of pricing curves exists as a basis for comparison. "Everyone values things differently. There are no standards, and everyone is left to gun and run, so to speak," Bell says. "The jury is out on whether the CCRO standards will have enough teeth."
"Teeth" is precisely what is needed for the CCRO standards—or any standards, for that matter—to become universally accepted and to bring confidence back to the electricity trading market. "We think the CCRO recommendations are a step in the right direction," says Standard & Poor's analyst Jack Kennedy. "But it would be better if there was some type of independent oversight with respect to the reporting recommendations."
The CCRO concept, thus far, has been based on voluntary participation, but the standards could evolve into something more binding. One possibility would be for regulatory agencies like FERC or the Securities and Exchange Commission to use the CCRO recommendations as the basis for binding rules. Alternatively, ratings agencies could adapt the standards and implement them as part of a new valuation framework, or the CCRO itself could evolve into a systematic enforcement body. Or perhaps a smaller group of industry leaders might take the next step and become the de-facto benchmark for the rest of the industry.
Until then, the CCRO recommendations serve the purpose of establishing a threshold for the industry. "The industry needs to promulgate a set of minimally acceptable standards. That's where I think the CRO group has done an excellent job," says Cohen of PricewaterhouseCoopers. "The key now is to create a tightly integrated risk-management framework that clearly defines risk appetites, acceptable behaviors, and expected results."
Companies that are unable to meet this challenge, at least in general terms, will not be well positioned to survive in the future electricity trading market, whatever form it takes.
Leaving Limbo
Alongside credit weakness and evolving standards, regulatory uncertainty is the most severe chilling force in the markets today. While FERC has made significant progress, issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking

Considering consequences
I enjoy restorative conferencing. I've been awed by the way people share their hearts and address the harms they've caused or experienced. While not everyone will go into a conference, I like offering an opportunity. I've learned that I can serve just by listening to stories when people aren't interested in the conference process. They are interested in someone who will listen to them.

The broken family
from the article by Jeffrey Krivis on Kluwer Mediation:
....Much has been written about the sociopathic behavior of child molesters, particularly if they are adults who molest their own children. Society has been plagued by such behavior both in the family and in the church. When this type of behavior surfaces in a sleepy agricultural town whose family values embody the very essence of its people, the alleged perpetrators are never able to regain their reputation. People begin to look over their shoulders and question whether their neighbors are who they think they are. The concepts of trust and faith are rocked to the bone. This is why few crimes carry as much social disgrace as child molestation. Most people would rather be accused of armed robbery.

11 ways to commit to restorative justice practices
from the article on Ben Ziegler's blog Collaborative Journeys:
When relationships don't matter, we are more inclined to do bad things. There has been a lot of media in my neck of the woods this fall, around broken relationships, and doing bad things.
I think there is no time like this time, to focus more on our relationships to each other, as a measure of "justice". After all, we are all connected. Restorative justice is about restoring broken relationships. Restorative practice is the heartbeat of restorative justice.
Restorative practices are collaborative practices.

Can I cry?
I have a confession to make. I cry at the drop of a hat. Movies, television shows, commercials, stories – it doesn't matter. I can be in tears in 0.2 seconds.
So, it may be a surprise to folks that know me to learn that I don't cry when I'm facilitating. I'm tempted at times, but I haven't actually shed tears during a conference. I've been thinking about this recently after a training event in Panama where several Prison Fellowship leaders were talking about facilitating the Sycamore Tree Project®. The training had been intense with personal stories and a lot of tears. In the middle of all the sharing, one of the leaders asked if it was okay for the facilitator to cry.

The healing potential in Circle, life after death and the wisdom of lived experience
from Kris Miner's entry in Restorative Justice and Circles:
....As part of Restorative Response, a program of SCVRJP, the community can request a Circle. Restorative Response is a program to address healing after un-natural death. For example homicide, suicide, traffic fatality, drug-overdose, accidents that might cause a sudden, unexpected loss.
Research & training has taught us that un-natural death includes additional elements to process. This includes 3 "V's", the violence, violation and volition. By speaking and listening to one another in Circle, you can begin to let the process of talking about these 3 "V's".
I've been amazed at these 'life after death' Circles. Hearing each others stories, reduces isolation, increases understanding and promotes peace of heart. I firmly believe: Circles Heal.

Law professor says 'restorative justice' can heal
from the article by Kieth Upchurch in the Herald Sun:
To illustrate how communication can make a profound difference in people's lives, Powell showed a video of interviews with a young couple whose home was broken into while they were gone and the two teens who did it.
Through mediation, the boys said they came to realize how deeply they hurt the couple, who suffered anger and fear after the break-in. In turn, the couple said talking face-to-face helped them to understand the boys' actions, and they eventually forgave them.

Tough subject mattter easy to watch
from the review by Brad Oswald:
Tough Case, which completes a two-night run at Manitoba Theatre for Young People tonight, is a thoughtfully staged, multimedia-enhanced exploration of restorative justice, a system that eschews the traditional courtroom-to-cellblock path of the criminal justice system in favour of an interactive model that brings offenders and victims together to create an understanding of actions and consequences that will steer young criminals away from the hurtful behaviour they've been exhibiting.
Tough Case opens with a bang -- and a crash, and a smash, and more mayhem, as silhouetted figures behind a projection screen break into the home of an elderly librarian and, after failing to locate the liquor they'd been seeking, proceed to trash the place in a most terrifying fashion.

Aim: To compare the cost-effectiveness of Youth Justice Conferences (YJCs) to matters eligible for YJCs but dealt with in the Children's Court.
Method: The costs for Police, Legal Aid, Children's Court, Juvenile Justice YJC administration and Juvenile Justice administration of court orders were separately estimated using a combination of top-down and bottom-up costing methods.
These were combined with data from matched samples of young people who were to be dealt with by a YJC and young people who could have been dealt with by a YJC but instead were dealt with in the Children's Court in 2007 in order to estimate average costs per person for each process.

I'm not into remorse
Lots of people will ask me about offenders feeling remorse when they go through a restorative conference. Trainee facilitators will ask whether or not I thought a client showed remorse during a pre-conference. People curious about the process will ask if those who have committed crime actually show remorse. The most difficult conversations occur when I talk to a victim of crime about participating. They may ask if the offender has shown remorse in my meetings with him/her.

Victims' rights and restorative justice: Is there a common ground?
from the article by John Lash on Juvenile Justice Information Exchange:
Last week my column on the resentencing of juveniles who had received life without parole drew a comment from the National Organization of Victims of Juvenile Lifers (NOVJL). The commenter had a legal argument in opposition to my own view, but more striking, at least to me, was the sentence that asked how I am going to, "support, inform, and not re-traumatize the devastated victims' families left behind in these horrible crimes."
