In The Matter of the Petition of Calpine Corporation (Cir. Ct. Balt. City) and more
In The Matter of the Petition of Calpine Corporation (Cir. Ct. Balt. City)
Filed: October 3, 2013
Opinion By: Judge Audrey J. S. Carrion
Held: The Circuit Court affirmed the Public Service Commission's ("PSC") actions with regards to certain regulated utilities in Maryland, where the PSC: (a) required that the utilities negotiate and enter into contracts with a new power generation facility for cost recovery, (b) conducted a hearing with notice to the utilities to investigate all options "to ensure an adequate and reliable supply of electricity to Maryland customers;" and (c) the PSC's actions were supported by substantial evidence and were therefore not "illegal, unreasonable, arbitrary, or capricious."
Facts: The PSC initiated a regulatory proceeding on September 29, 2009 "to investigate the long-term reliability and adequacy of [electrical] service in Maryland…" On December 29, 2010, the PSC prepared a draft Request for Proposals for New Generation ("RFP"), which would be issued by the regulated utilities to solicit proposals from parties interested in building a power plant in the region. On receipt of comments, the PSC modified the RFP and directed the utilities to issue the modified RFP. The PSC also notified the utilities that a hearing would be held on January 31, 2012 on the need for new power generation. The RFP sought bids for the construction of new, natural gas-fired power generation.
Following the hearing, the PSC issued an order on April 12, 2012, finding that there was a long-term need for an additional 650 to 700 megawatts of electricity in Maryland by 2015, and accepting the bid of Competitive Power Ventures Holdings, LLC ("CPV") to build a 661 megawatt natural gas-fired combined cycle facility in Charles County. The commission also ordered the utilities to negotiate and enter into a "Contract for Differences" with CPV. The contract would establish a fixed price for power generated by CPV, and would have the utilities guarantee payment of that fixed price, with the utilities making up the difference if sales were lower, and CPV paying any sales over the fixed price to the utilities.
Analysis: A court's review of the order of an administrative agency is generally deferential to the agency's expertise, reviewing for "illegal, unreasonable, arbitrary, or capricious" decisions of the agency. The court will also review whether the administrative agency made an error of law, though the court will be more deferential to the agency when the agency "is interpreting or applying the statute it itself administers…"
What's at issue in this case is whether the PSC acted contrary to law in determining that additional power generation was necessary to ensure that demand can be met for "standard offer service" ("SOS") in Maryland, ordering the regulated utilities in Maryland to issue an RFP for additional power generation facilities, and subsequently ordering those utilities to contract with CPV for a gas-fired combined cycle facility in Charles County. Ultimately the circuit court concluded that the PSC acted within its authority and on substantial evidence in the record in support of its administrative orders.
The court began its analysis by looking at the authority granted to the PSC under the Public Utility Article. The court found that sections 2-113, 5-101 and 7-510 give the PSC general powers to regulate utilities that operate in Maryland, and to ensure the availability of SOS. However, the utilities had argued that the PSC had exceeded its statutory authority in ordering the utilities to enter into a contract with a third party, on the language of section 7-509(a) which states that the PSC, except for two situations not applicable to the case at bar, may not regulate "the generation, supply, and sale of electricity" as an electronic company service or function. The court found, however, that interpreting this language to deprive the PSC of its otherwise general authority to regulate public utilities would result in an illogical conclusion of the intention of the legislature and would conflict with the overall statutory scheme, which empowers the PSC to ensure that SOS is available to Maryland customers into the future. The court concluded that the PSC acted within its authority in directing the utilities to contract with CPV.
The utilities had also challenged the procedures used by the PSC in conducting its hearings concerning the need for additional power generation, and the PSC's order requiring the utilities to contract with CPV. The court concluded that the PSC had not violated the utilities' due process rights because the utilities had notice of the proceedings, the PSC sought and received feedback on the RFP to which it issued amendments, heard testimony from fourteen witnesses concerning the issue, and the utilities had participated in the hearings.
Finally, the utilities had challenged the evidence upon which the PSC relied in concluding that a gas-fired combined facility constructed by CPV was necessary. The court found that there was substantial and uncontested evidence in the record supporting the PSC's decision, including: (a) coal-fired plants in Maryland may be forced into premature retirement because of new environmental regulations, (b) the need for more investment in power generation in the region and the failure of the current pricing model to attract such investment, (c) geographic limitations in the region that increase power generation costs, and (d) the downward trend in the reserve margin for power generation capacity over the last several years. The utilities had argued that the PSC failed to consider transmission system upgrades, and Calpine had argued that its exclusion from consideration because of its location outside of Maryland was arbitrary and capricious. However, the court was unconvinced of these arguments, in part because of its deferential review standard for agency decisions. As a result, the court affirmed the orders of the PSC.
Mathews v. Cassidy Turley Maryland, Inc. (Ct. of Appeals)
Filed: November 26, 2013
Held: (1) Under the Maryland Securities Act (the "Act"), the offer and sale of a tenant-in-common ("TIC") interest in commercial real estate under terms requiring a mandatory management contract with an affiliate of the seller and granting the purchasers only a limited opportunity to change management involves a "security." (2) The statute of limitations periods for claims brought under the Act for sale of an unregistered security and for transacting business as an unregistered broker-dealer or agent are not tolled by the judicially created discovery rule of Poffenberger v. Risser, 290 Md. 631 (1981), or under the fraudulent concealment provision of Md. Code, Courts & Judicial Proceedings §5-203 ("CJ §5-203"). (3) The statute of limitations periods for claims brought under the Act for fraud in the offer or sale of a security and for transacting business as an unregistered investment advisor and for material misrepresentations made in that capacity are not tolled by the discovery rule of Poffenberger but may be tolled under the fraudulent concealment provision of CJ §5-203.
Facts: In 2003, petitioner, who had owned and managed rental properties for over forty years, sold eleven different properties through the respondent real estate brokerage for approximately $4 million. For favorable tax treatment petitioner sought to re-invest the proceeds in other real estate and based on the respondent's advice, petitioner used much of the proceeds to purchase five fractional interests or TICs in various commercial buildings.
The TICs were all created by DBSI, Inc. of Idaho, or an affiliate. Purchasers of the TICs were required to retain DBSI or its affiliate as the property manager and in return the purchasers would receive a set annual rate of return on their purchase monies. The property manager could only be removed by majority vote of all TIC owners of a specific property and a new property manager could only be appointed by the unanimous consent of all the TIC owners. The TIC owners had no direct control over the property.
In 2008, after petitioner learned that DSBI would be suspending payments on certain properties, DBSI filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code. The properties subject to petitioner's TICs were foreclosed. The bankruptcy court ultimately found DSBI's transactions to have been constructively or actually fraudulent. The Securities Division of the Maryland Attorney General's Office contacted petitioner in 2009 in the course of investigating the offer and sale of the TICs in Maryland. On March 23, 2010, the petitioner filed suit in Circuit Court against the respondent for violation of the Act, breach of contract and common law tort claims of fraud, negligent misrepresentation, negligence and constructive fraud. The Circuit Court granted summary judgment for the respondent on all counts finding in pertinent part that the TICs were not a security under the Act and, even if they were deemed a security, the petitioner's claims were time barred. Following petitioner's timely appeal the Court of Appeals granted certiorari to determine, inter alia, whether (1) the TICs are securities under the Act; and (2) whether the petitioner's claims under the Act are time barred.
Analysis: The Court of Appeals first analyzed the Act to determine if the TICs were securities. The Act broadly defines a "security" to include an "investment contract" but the meaning of the term "investment contract" was a matter of first impression for the Court. The Court noted that when interpreting the Act, it may consider the federal Securities Act because the Act states that it is to be coordinated with the related federal law. Reviewing pertinent federal precedent, particularly SEC v. Howey, 328 U.S. 293 (1946), the Court determined that an "investment contract" was an investment of money in a common enterprise with an expectation of profits derived from the significant efforts of others.
In this case, the sole issue was whether the purchasers of TICs had an expectation of profits derived from the significant efforts of the property manager. The Court concluded that the Howey test was met because the profits were generated by the property manager's actions. Even though the investors, acting collectively, had the authority to remove the property manager, the efforts by the property manager were no less dominant and essential to the success of the enterprise than are the efforts of the management of a corporation. The TIC investment was, therefore, held to be a "security" under the Act.
The Court then considered whether the petitioner's claims under the Act were time barred. The petitioner's private causes of action under the Act included allegations of respondent's (1) offer and sale of an unregistered security, (2) transacting business as an unregistered broker-dealer or agent, (3) misrepresentations or omissions of material fact in the offer and sale of a security, and (4) violations of the investment advisor requirements of the Act (i.e., both lack of registration as an investment advisor and misrepresentations made in that capacity). The statutes of limitations under the Act for each of these various claims had lapsed.
The Court analyzed whether petitioner's claims could be tolled by either (1) the Poffenberger discovery rule, which delays the accrual of the statute of limitations until when the wrong is discovered or when the wrong should have been discovered through reasonable diligence; or (2) CJ §5-203, which delays the accrual of the cause of action when the plaintiff remains ignorant of the cause of action due to the defendant's fraudulent concealment.
Analyzing the private causes of actions under the Act, the Court found that Poffenberger discovery rule did not toll the relevant statutes of limitations. The Court compared the limitations provisions for the causes of actions involving lack of registration (of the security or as a broker-dealer) with the limitations provisions for causes of action involving misrepresentations and fraud. Citing Md. Code Corp. & Assn's, §11-703(f)(1)&(2)(i), the Court noted that for the sale of an unregistered security or acting as an unregistered broker-dealer, a cause of action must be brought "after the earlier to occur" of (1) three years after the contract of sale or purchase; or (2) one year after the violation. On the other hand, citing Md. Code Corp. & Assn's, §11-703(f)(1)&(2)(ii), the Court noted that for a violation of the anti-fraud provisions, a cause of action may not be brought "after the earlier to occur" of (1) three years after the contract of sale or purchase or (2) one year after "discovery of the untrue statement or omission, or after discovery should have been made by the exercise of reasonable diligence." The limitations provision applicable to the investment advisor requirements likewise requires such a claim to be brought no later than the earlier of (1) three years "after the date of the advisory contract or the rendering of investment advice" or (2) two years after "the discovery of the facts constituting the violation." Md. Code Corp. & Assn's, §11-703(f)(3). The Court concluded that because the limitations provisions applicable to anti-fraud and investment advisor violations under the Act includes their own discovery rule, the legislature did not intend for the Poffenberger discovery rule to apply to those violations. Further, the legislature did not intend for the Poffenberger discovery rule to apply to registration violations because it did not include a discovery rule in the limitation for those violations, as it did for the anti-fraud violations. Thus, the Court held the Poffenberger discovery rule to not apply to these private causes of action under the Act.
The Court analyzed next whether CJ §5-203 applied to the private causes of action under the Act. It found that CJ §5-203 did not apply to the violations of the registration provisions because a reasonably prudent buyer could have discovered those violations from publicly available information at the time of sale of the unregistered security or sale by an unregistered broker-dealer. However, CJ §5-203 could toll the anti-fraud violations because the tolling arises from the affirmative misconduct of the defendant and has been held applicable to limitations as to both statutory and common law claims. Finding no indication that the legislature did not intend for CJ §5-203 to apply to claims of fraud under the Act if plaintiff's acquisition of knowledge of the violation is hindered by defendant's fraudulent concealment, the Court held that CJ §5-203 could apply to anti-fraud claims under the Act. Because the issue of fraudulent concealment is fact-intensive and the Circuit Court did not explicitly consider whether the undisputed facts negated tolling under CJ §5-203, the Court reversed the Circuit Court's grant of summary judgment for the respondent to the extent the counts under the Act asserted claims for fraud.
The judgment of the Circuit Court was affirmed in part and reversed in part and the case remanded back to the Circuit Court.

Gregg Lapointe v. SIGMA TAU Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Filed: September 11, 2013
Opinion by Michael D. Mason
Holdings: (1) A parent corporation is allowed to interfere with the subsidiary's contracts without liability under the "unity of interest" doctrine. This privilege is not absolute, however. It does not exist if the parent acts contrary to the interests of the subsidiary or interferes with a contract with a third party by use of wrongful means. The burden of establishing a privilege lies with the complaining party.
(2) If a privilege is found, it would extend to a shareholder with a controlling interest in the parent corporation.
Facts: Plaintiffs, former employees of corporate defendant's wholly owned subsidiary, alleged that the corporate defendant and its largest shareholder (also an individually named defendant) tortuously interfered with plaintiffs' long-benefit plan causing a refusal to pay benefits to which plaintiffs were entitled.
Defendants filed motion to dismiss arguing that even assuming wrongful interference, no liability exists when a parent interferes in a contract between its wholly owned subsidiary and a third party because there is a "unity of interest" between the parent and its subsidiary. The largest shareholder of the parent also claimed benefit to this doctrine.
Analysis: Although Maryland courts have discussed the issue of whether the unity of interest doctrine applies to tortious interference claims involving a parent corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, they have not adopted it. In Copperweld Corp. v. Independence Tube Corp., the U.S. Supreme Court held that a parent corporation could not be prosecuted for an antitrust violation involving its subsidiary because a parent and its wholly owned subsidiary have a complete unity of interest.
However, as the principle relates to a parent corporation's liability for tortious interference with the contractual agreement of its subsidiaries, most courts that have adopted the doctrine have done so with limitations. In Waste Conversion Sys., Inc. v. Greenstone Indus., Inc., 33 S.W.3d 779, 781 (Tenn. 2000), the Supreme Court of Tennessee held that a parent could lose its privilege if (1) acting contrary to its wholly-owned subsidiary's economic interests the parent can be considered a third party to its subsidiary's contractual relationship and can be held for tortuously interfering with that relationship; and (2) it employs wrongful means even if the parent does not act contrary to the subsidiary's best interest. Wrongful means is defined to include misrepresentation of facts, fraud, threats, intimidation, as well as a number of other acts, including any other wrongful act recognized by statute or common law. The burden of proof lies with the plaintiff.

MHD-Rockland Inc. v. Aerospace Distributions Inc. (Maryland U.S.D.C.)
Filed: January 3, 2014
(2) In a transaction between merchants, objection to the condition of goods and the return of such goods is not a timely objection of additional terms in an acceptance for purposes of Section 2-207(2) of the Commercial Law Article.Facts: Plaintiff, through use of a purchase order, ordered four airplane wheel assemblies in "overhauled" condition from defendant. Defendant sent the assemblies and an acknowledgment form representing that the assemblies were in overhauled condition. The acknowledgment form further stated it was "subject to" the Conditions of Sale printed on the reverse side of the form, which purported to limit liability for consequential damages and disclaim any express or implied warranties. Plaintiff returned two assemblies allegedly not in overhauled condition, which were therefore defective. Disagreements arose whether the two returned assemblies were defective.
Plaintiff alleged, among other claims, breach of contract. Defendant argued plaintiff should not be allowed to seek lost profits because the contract expressly foreclosed any warranty, including liability for consequential damages. Plaintiff claimed it rejected the conditions upon return of the assemblies.Analysis: The Court applied Section 2-207 of the Commercial Law Article as the case involved a sale of goods between merchants. Section 2-207 provides an acceptance containing additional terms is still an acceptance that forms a contract unless the "acceptance is expressly made conditional on assent to the additional or different terms." The Court noted that Maryland courts had not decided whether an acceptance "subject to" additional terms amounts to an acceptance "expressly made conditional." The Court agreed with cited precedent that concluded the "subject to" language does not make the acceptance expressly conditional on the buyer's assent to the additional terms. Accordingly, the Court held that defendant's acceptance of the purchase order was not expressly made conditional on plaintiff's assent to the additional terms in the Conditions of Sale.
Section 2-207 further provides that if there is an acceptance, the additional terms become part of the contract between merchants unless: "(a) [t]he offer limits acceptance to the terms of the offer; (b) [t]hey materially alter it; or (c) [n]otification of objection to them has already been given or is given within a reasonable time after notice of them is received." The Court noted that the plaintiff did not allege how and when it rejected the additional terms. The Court stated that plaintiff's objection to the condition of the assemblies does not amount to a timely objection to the additional terms in the defendant's acceptance. The Court dismissed the claim for lost profits from the alleged breach of contract.In a lengthy footnote, the Court also discussed an argument that the terms should be excluded from the contract because they materially alter the agreement. The Court stated that such argument, if raised, would have failed under the applicable Maryland test.

Lomax v. Weinstock, Friedman & Friedman, P.A. (Maryland U.S.D.C.)
Filed January 15, 2013
Opinion by Judge Catherine C. Blake
Holding: Under the doctrine of equitable estoppel, a party to a contract containing a mandatory arbitration provision cannot avoid arbitration of a claim against a nonsignatory to the subject contract when the basis for the claim is that contract.
Facts: Plaintiff Lomax financed the purchase of a car with a loan obtained through a retail installment contract (the "RISC") with Credit Acceptance Corporation ("CAC"). After CAC repossessed and sold the car it retained Weinstock to obtain a deficiency judgment against Lomax. Lomax filed suit against Weinstock alleging the firm violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Maryland Consumer Debt Collection Act and the Maryland Consumer Protection Act. Weinstock filed a motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, to stay the action and compel arbitration based on the RISC's mandatory arbitration provision.
Analysis: It is settled that parties must submit claims to arbitration where they have a valid arbitration agreement and it covers the issues in dispute. Lomax did not dispute the validity of the RISC or the arbitration agreement within it, but argued that Weinstock, as a nonsignatory to the RISC, could not invoke the arbitration clause. The Court held, however, that when each of a signatory's claims against a nonsignatory makes reference to or presumes the existence of the written agreement, the signatory is equitably estopped from refusing to submit such claims to arbitration if the arbitration provision is sufficiently broad to encompass the claims. Because Lomax relied on the RISC as the basis for her attempt to collect damages from Weinstock and the arbitration provision in the RISC was broadly worded so as to include claims against the seller's attorneys, Lomax was estopped from disclaiming the mandatory arbitration provision contained in the RISC.
The Court granted the motion to dismiss.
The opinion is available in PDF.

MUNSTER | Throughout the fall and winter, volunteers rebuilt the DeMars family home after September 2008 floods destroyed the original house. On Wednesday, many of these same volunteers joined hands to encircle the new home as part of a house blessing.
The home on Broadmoor Avenue next to South Side Christian Church was the first rebuild organized by the Lakeshore Area Regional Recovery of Indiana, said Jane Delligatti, the organization's director.
Steve Conger, the organization's board president and pastor of Ridge United Methodist Church, delivered the house blessing.
"This is not only a home, but a symbol of hope," Conger said.
Sherry and Chuck DeMars moved into their new three-bedroom house several weeks ago along with their 13-year-old golden retriever, Benny. Construction labor was donated, and Home Depot provided building materials at a substantial cost savings, Delligatti said.
Faith-based groups volunteering included the Brethren Disaster Ministries and the Amish/Mennonite Men of Nappanee. Ten Americorps volunteers, ages 18 to 24, worked on the home, as did teams from Habitat for Humanity, University of Chicago chapter. Delligatti also thanked trade union members who volunteered their labor, including plumbers, carpenters, electricians and HVAC technicians.
"The Brethren and the union members stood shoulder to shoulder and raised the roof," she said.
"This was an endeavor of love."
Standing in the kitchen of her home surrounded by family and friends, Sherry DeMars said it's been a long 16 months since the flood.
In the early morning hours of Sept. 14, 2008, floodwaters from the Little Calumet River caved in the original home's basement wall. Soon, the walls bowed, and it became a race to save anything they could and escape from the home they bought 10 years before.
"They gave us four hours to get everything out because they were afraid the house would collapse," she said.
The couple's insurance company, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and town officials declared the original home uninhabitable and in need of demolition. That occurred last summer. Construction on the new home began Sept. 17, 2009.
Now that the DeMarses are settled in, the home will be the scene of several family celebrations, including Christmas 2010 with 75 guests, Sherry DeMars said.
"Thank you for all you've done for us," she told the dozens of people gathered outside the home to join in the house blessing. "It's amazing."

Benfotiamine' a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 (thiamine)' supports healthy blood sugar metabolism and helps protect the body's tissues against advanced glycation end products and oxidative stress. For example' the enzyme transketolase is critical to blood sugar metabolism. Like many enzymes' transketolase requires a co-factor. In this case' it needs assistance from thiamine. Unfortunately' thiamine is water-soluble' which makes it less available to the interior of the cell. Benfotiamine is fat-soluble and can easily penetrate into the inside of cells. It is also more bioavailable than the water-soluble thiamine.
In a landmark study' benfotiamine effectively increased transketolase activity in cell cultures by an astounding 300%' compared to a mere 20% for thiamine. This robust activation was sufficient to block three of the four major metabolic pathways leading to blood vessel damage.46 Benfotiamine also blocks the activation of the transcription factor known as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB)' which is implicated in numerous inflammatory conditions.
Overall' benfotiamine can activate glucose metabolism and promote healthy blood glucose levels in those already within normal range. It can also reduce formation of advanced glycation end products to prevent glucose toxicity and correct endothelial cell defects caused by high concentrations of blood glucose' especially inside endothelial' retinal' kidney and nerve cells. Benfotiamine also helps maintain healthy endothelial function.

I was taking a look at Bell's looking glass for AS577, and noticed that they now (as of yesterday or today) have a drop-down menu to select IPv4 or IPv6. I know that they've announced 2001:4958::/32 for a while now, but I wonder if they're finally getting ready to deploy IPv6 to their customers.If they do, I really really really really really hope they start peering with HE in Toronto. <rant>Having all of my traffic go through Chicago is a pain!</rant>Edit: aaaaaaand it's broken. :(
1 recommendation
Toronto appears to work for IPv6, the other locations at the moment return 'network unreachable' so seems they aren't set up yet.
Yeah, Toronto must've started working between when I posted this and you posting your reply.After playing around with some ASNs and their looking glass, I can confirm that their Toronto peering is still nonexistent, even with IPv6.

Over the past two seasons, Elkhart Central has had one of the best boys soccer teams in the area.
The Blazers reached State in 2006 and semi-state in 2007.
Two of the main reasons were goalie Justin Holmes and midfielder Ruben Garrido.
Now both stars will continue playing the sport they love at the Division I level.
On Wednesday, Holmes signed his letter of intent to play at New Mexico while Garrido officially committed to West Virginia.
A four-year starter for the Blazers, Garrido will head to a team that reached the NCAA Sweet 16 this year.
"They have a great program," Garrido said on Wednesday. "I like the way their coaches think and their theory of soccer."
"Their campus is beautiful, everything just fell into place."
Garrido, who scored more than 30 goals for the Blazers in his career, is hoping to make an impact right away. Two key midfielders are graduating for the Mountaineers.
For Holmes, a 3-year starter, he too will head to a major program. New Mexico reached the national championship two years ago.
"I talked to the coaches and an assistant coach at Notre Dame used to be an assistant at New Mexico so I had good ties there," Holmes explained.
Rodney Dale also committed to Division II Mercyhurst to play cornerback for the football team.

House of Fraser calls review of UK advertising business
House of Fraser, the department store, is pitching for a creative agency ahead of a major new campaign.
House of Fraser: seeks agency ahead of a major new campaign
The store, bought by the Chinese conglomerate Sanpower in April, is speaking to three agencies. It plans to make a decision this month.
House of Fraser worked with Fallon London on a project basis in 2011, and has created advertising in-house since. It has also previously worked with Harriman Steel and DLKW Lowe.
In May 2013, House of Fraser moved its media planning and buying account to Goodstuff Communications from Starcom MediaVest Group, which it had worked with for 14 years.
House of Fraser spent £3.2 million on media in the year to September 2012, according to Nielsen.
The department store's campaigns have included the film "label lab", created by Harriman Steel, to launch the spring/summer 2011 menswear collection. The activity was fronted by the band Tall Ships.
A spokeswoman for the store declined to comment on the pitch.
Sanpower, a group with retail and property assets, bought an 89 per cent stake in House of Fraser last month in a deal worth £480 million.

PSP Go receives price cut in UK
By: Martin Bigg | October 5th, 2009
Business/Financial |News
Business/Financial |News
It's been a whole 3 days since the launch of the PSP Go – were you there? Well, probably not considering the price Sony are expecting Europeans to pay.
And it seems as if several UK retailers agree, as you can now buy a PSP Go for a slightly more tempting £199.99 from Amazon, Play.com, GAME and HMV alike, compared to the RRP of £224.99.
Despite its lukewarm reception, Sony are defending the pocket console by proclaiming that sales are "in line with expectations," with a 120% increase in PSP hardware sales in the UK.

Wisconsin head football coach Barry Alvarez says he'll step down as coach of the Badgers after this season, but will remain as athletic director.
At a news conference this afternoon, Alvarez said second-year defensive coordinator Bret Bielema will replace him as head coach next season.
Alvarez assumed both roles as coach and athletic director in April 2004, saying he some day planned to step away from coaching to lead the athletic department full-time.
He says the time has come. This will be his last coaching season for the 58-year-old Alvarez.
He thanked his wife and other family members, coaches, players, alumni and fans as he announced his decision at the Kohl Center. He
recounted many of the highlights of his coaching career with the Badgers -- a tenure that makes him the winningest coach in the school's history.
Alvarez was hired to turn around a program that had only five winning seasons in the 27 years before he came onboard. The Badgers failed to break the .500 mark in his first three years before Alvarez led Wisconsin to its first Rose Bowl since 1963.
He's led the Badgers to a 108-70-4 record over 15 seasons. His 7-3 record in bowl games includes three Rose Bowl wins.

It's National Chocolate Ice Cream Day! Today we celebrate one of the most popular ice cream flavors of all time. Culinary historians believe that the first ice cream flavors were fruit-based, but by the 18th century both vanilla and chocolate were quite common. Thomas Jefferson took a fancy to ice cream while living abroad as the Ambassador to France during the 1780s. It is likely that he is responsible for bringing this delicious frozen treat to America!
Today, the United States produces around 1.6 billion gallons of ice cream each year. Whether you prefer your chocolate ice cream in a cone, a cup, a sundae, or a milkshake, indulge in a scoop (or two!) today! Happy National Chocolate Ice Cream Day!

Sequel title apparently still becomes the dominating part in attracting moviegoers' attention as "Ocean's Thirteen" is now taking its turn to reign over the weekend domestic box office ended June 8, 2007.
Superbly selling $36.1 million worth of tickets in its first three-day run, the follow-up to 2004's "Ocean's Twelve" automatically shoves last-week champ "Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End" to second rank for the latest installment of Disney's hit seafaring tale series is unable to fare higher than $21.1 million this time.
Also forced to go down one notch is Universal Pictures' comedy "Knocked Up" which takes in a handful $19.6 million trailed by animated features "Surf's Up" and "Shrek the Third" to make up the big five of the chart, the former pulling $17.6 million while the latter adding another $15.3 million to raise its total gross to $281.46 million so far.
Newcomer "Hostel: Part II" comes up next on number six after managing to score $8.2 million in its opening weekend, a tally far exceeding the $4.9 million the seventh holder "Mr. Brooks" has collected. The rest positions lined up in order to number ten go to hit superhero flick "Spider-Man 3" with $4.3 million, romantic comedy "Waitress" with $1.6 million, and teen thriller "Disturbia" with $523,504.

"People don't spend sixty bucks on a game they know they can beat."Sometimes a gamer plays a new game only to find the level of challenge is less than what he expected - sometimes considerably so. To some gamers, this shall not stand! Video Games are about overcoming challenge! Without challenge, a game is little more than a pointless exercise. Of course, there is nothing inherently wrong with an "easy" game. Some people prefer them that way. Further, depending on the individual, the genre and the game playing setting, the reasons for gaming vary greatly from "overcoming challenge for a sense of accomplishment" to "distracting one from the mundane minutia of life" and everything in between. This trope is the reaction fans have when a game, particularly one from a franchise known for challenging games, presents itself as less challenging than its predecessors or than what one would normally expect from games of a similar genre. This is not a page to complain about easy games. Only add examples where the sentiment has been expressed by reviewers or a sizable number of fans when comparing a game to previous installments in a franchise or similar games of that genre. Be aware with adding examples where people mention about how once they found a Game Breaker, learned to exploit a Good Bad Bug, caught the hang of it, learned the way the game mechanics worked, then that they found the game trivial afterwards. Many of those examples can be attributed to merely being Genre Savvy. It's also rather weird when people complain about features in a game that make it easier and said features are actually completely optional. You'll notice several examples are about features in-game that you don't have to use. This type of complaint can happen if the game's predecessor was more difficult. This also becomes incredibly annoying for developers if people complained about the previous game being too hard, or if it was hard but for all the wrong reasons. It really makes for the perpetual Unpleasable Fanbase. It's Short, so It Sucks is a Sister Trope, with several points overlapping with this. The opposite is It's Hard, so It Sucks. Also see They Changed It, Now It Sucks. True Art Is Incomprehensible is mildly related, in the sense that something can't be considered quality art if most people can easily understand it. When people try to force the way they play the game (which generally has to do with difficulty) onto other people, you have a Scrub or a "Stop Having Fun" Guy. When you have both It's Easy, so It Sucks and It's Hard, so It Sucks, you wind up with an Unpleasable Fanbase.

Norpac Foods
The NORPAC tradition is a commitment to old-fashioned "seed-to-plate" quality control of each product and a serious dedication to finding innovative ways to ensure optimum value for every customer
We welcome you to explore the NORPAC tradition of quality and value and invite you to take full advantage of the extraordinarily exciting foods offered here.
The story begins in 1924 when an Oregon cooperative of growers formed North Pacific Canners and Packers and introduced the FLAV-R-PAC brand that would become the quality standard for vegetables and fruits. Two decades later, the company's grower-owners led the way in developing America's newest food processing technology by installing a quick freezing unit. By the 1950's, NORPAC frozen and canned products were available across America.
In the 1970's, NORPAC introduced a new concept to foodservice, "value-added" products. These were products that were already mixed, offering customers two or more vegetables in the same package. It was a first step that would lead to an array of vegetable blends like the FLAV-R-PAC Beautiful Vegetables, Stir Fry Vegetables, Grande Classics Vegetables, Roasted Vegetables and Sides.
Today, NORPAC continues to lead the way, setting ever-higher standards for foodservice. Starting with specially developed seeds, our 250 grower-owner families raise a vast array of crops on thousands of acres in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. Carefully controlling each step in the process, NORPAC products now go from harvest-in-the-field, through processing and freezing, to packaging in one of five state-of-the-art processing plants - all in less than 4 hours!
NORPAC products include:
Frozen Soups;
Norpac manufactures more than 75 different varieties of soups, including a wide range of Gluten-Free, Vegan, and Vegetarian selections.

Who is Andrea Borden?
I am EXUBERANT! I love the outdoors, golden hour vistas, and great friends. My perfect day would be a daytrip to the redwoods and the beaches of Northern California with a huge cup of coffee and my sweetheart by my side. I try to live like I want to live: do what it takes to make a difference in your own life: don't dream it, live it! Every day is a gift, and it'll never happen again. I capture the uniqueness of each new day in my life.
Like what you see? Join me on my Flickr or Twitter! (listed below)
(To see full versions of the photos click on them. Allow a few seconds for the photo to become sharp.)
To view categories of photos, click on the hashtag (the '#tags') underneath each post.
Helloooooooo Wednesday! And happy birthday Mr L! My first photography teacher's birthday is today, so I want to shout out to him a big 'thank you!' and wishes for a fabulous day!
Today I am busy, working away on photos (and this set featured above! More on that in a minute), preparing for Christmas, and listening to a photography lecture. Listening to lectures may sound boring to some of you, but I am like a sponge, I can't get enough of them. If lectures aren't your thing, maybe this will be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjlSuwZszfI. It's Mumford and Son's Hopeless Wanderer as a piano instumental. For all you Mumford fans, You may all go re-plan your wedding processional around this song.
In the mean time, I am trying out a new software for editing that comes recommended by Sue Bryce on her A Shoot With Sue lectures. I am properly impressed with the many film selections this new software provides, so I wanted to share. (click to enlarge the photos above)
I just love the specific brands of film and grain it adds to this shoot with Veronica from earlier this year. It definitely fits the feeling we shot for and you will certainly see more from this new software in the shoots to come!
And just for fun, here's one from a recent shoot with an ADORABLE little one with this effect:
Have a wonderful Wednesday, stay dry, warm, and cheery!
I'm still reeling from my recent shoot with the fun little shoot from Veronica. Sometimes with my schedule I don't get time to go over my shoots with a fine-toothed comb. I go for great shots to deliver to clients promptly, and then I go through later to find more gems afterwards, as a photographer's edit. Here's some more that I couldn't live without posting:
These eyes just pull me into the photo!
Also, Friday is my next booked session, with Nellie, her sister, and her mom. I can't wait to shoot with one of my oldest girlfriends, Nellie, so don't forget to check then for my next update!

Disco Lights
Disco lights can be added to any room in the home, such as a finished basement with plenty of room to entertain and through a party. Different lighting effects can be incorporated with mirror disco balls using strobe lighting, black lighting and laser lighting effects. You can even incorporate the lighting effects with the music you are playing so that different light effects occur to the beat of the music.
If you own or manage a dance club, you will want to have disco lights installed in order to provide a more entertaining experience for your patrons. You can even install special lighting for your DJ booth so that your DJ can continue to mix out tunes, even when the dance floor has DMX strobe lighting and other lighting effects occurring.
Community centers which put on retro dances from the 1970s and 1980s will need to purchase disco lights to be truly authentic. People will remember the disco days of past when getting down under a disco mirror ball and dancing to their favorite songs. The LA Shop has a selection of disco lights and other lighting equipment available for both commercial and home use to create the lighting effects desired.

Ian Somerhalder - People's 2010 Sexiest Man Issue
(Source: ianjosephsomerhalder)
"Me and mr @iansomerhalder thanks for the picture, a real pleasure to meet you. See you at the ISF event."
(via thevampirediaries)
Aw, thank you ! We love Ian too :) ♥
Well, it depends on how far you take your shipping obsession with couples in real life. I guess it's fine, cause you don't know the people personally, so it's almost as if you were shipping two fictional characters, haha.
Yeah, seems like they're everywhere together, and I mean, there are quite many small hints here and there. Guess we'll never know for sure. Oh, and I wish they had more pictures with Candice and Paul & the TVD cast >.<"

Full Service Research + Customer-Centred Focus = Success
Having conducted research for some of North America's leading corporations and advocacy groups, we deliver global research capacities with the attention to detail and focus of a boutique firm.
Our team combines the experience of our Chairman Bruce Anderson, one of Canada's leading research executives for two decades, with the energy, creativity and research expertise of CEO David Coletto, PhD.
Some of our clients include:
Our Principles
We are at the forefront of the research sector and deliver revolutionary insights and strategy to our clients. Our work is guided by our commitment to five principles:
1. Client-Centred
As a boutique, full-service market research firm, our success is driven by the strong relationships we have with our clients. Our size means we are more dynamic and innovative than large firms. We work hard and get things done no matter the effort required. Evenings, weekends, early mornings… we do it to get things right.
2. Flexible
No two organizations are the same so cookie cutter research approaches don't work. We work closely with our clients building partnerships to help them understand their audience and deliver results.
3. Independent
We'll tell you what's working and what's not and make practical recommendations to deal with issues that affect your business or organization. We tell you what you need to know. Our clients expect candor and objective recommendations and that's why they retain us.
4. Innovative
We want to be known as the firm that challenges convention and never stops questioning the way we learn about the audiences we engage with. Our curiosity drives innovation in everything we do.
5. Transparent
We apply the latest statistical techniques and are thorough in the work we do. We believe quality research has to be transparent and must be built on valid and reliable methodologies.
