Sea Shepherd's Paul Watson arrested in Germany
A controversial environment group dedicated to protecting marine mammals says its Canadian leader has been arrested in Germany.

FRANKFURT—A controversial environment group dedicated to protecting marine mammals says its Canadian leader has been arrested in Germany.
The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society says Captain Paul Watson was arrested in Frankfurt over the weekend and will be extradited to Costa Rica on an outstanding arrest warrant.
The Sea Shepherd says in a statement that the arrest warrant stems from a 2002 incident involving a Costa Rican vessel illegally hunting for shark fins in Guatemalan waters.
The group says that while the Sea Shepherd boat was escorting the Costa Rican vessel back to port, a Guatemalan gunboat was dispatched to intercept the group's crew.
According to the statement posted on the group's website, the crew of the Costa Rican vessel accused the Sea Shepherds of trying to kill them, "while the video evidence proves this to be a fallacy."
The Sea Shepherd says their ship later encountered a Costa Rican gun boat, the crew of which has accused Watson of attempted murder.
The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society was formed in 1977 and has had a controversial history.
The group sends vessels to confront the Japanese fleet each year, trying to block them from firing harpoons at whales.
The group's tactics have drawn praise from supporters and vehement attacks from critics.

Stream Philipp Gorbachev's Debut LP for Cómeme
- Words: Glenn Jackson
Now residing in Berlin due to a self-imposed exile from his birth country of Russia, Philipp Gorbachev has consistently shown a refusal to restrict his productions to any particular genre or style. This ever-evolving approach to crafting dance music has made Gorbachev an excellent fit for Matias Aguayo's Cómeme imprint, the label the Russian producer has been involved with since 2011 and who will issue his debut full-length, Silver Album, next week.
With its nine contributions each existing somewhere between house, techno, disco, and even punk, Gorbachev's debut LP is an ambitiously eclectic affair. The album is said to consist of nine "live-performed arrangements," which were recorded in part at The District Union (a studio/collaborative space shared by a number of Cómeme artists) and incorporates the talents of Paul Leary (of alt-rock weirdos Butthole Surfers), Battles drummer John Stanier, Cómeme labelmate Daniel Maloso, and Ostgut Ton affiliate Tobias Freund. With Russian lyrics enthusiastically delivered across each hand-crafted album cut, Gorbachev's debut full-length is a truly unique endeavor, one with an unexpected interpretation of dance music around most every corner.
Set to see an official release on June 2 via Cómeme, Philipp Gorbachev's Silver Album can be streamed in full below exclusively via XLR8R.

Why ever bother with the rate conversion?
We all know that should the item come of for sale in the UK then the cost will be closer to the £900 1 for one rate. Maybe more once VAT is added!
So basically there is no point in the translation at all just leave it in the currency of the country and we can all go there and buy one if we want to.

A History of Modern Libya
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreLibya is coming in from the cold, but for most of the three decades following the 1969 revolution, the country was labelled a pariah state by the West. Dirk Vandewalle, one of only a handful of western scholars to visit during the time, is intimately acquainted with the country. This history - based on original research and his interviews with Libya's political elite - offers a lucid account of Libya's past, and corrects some of the misunderstandings about its present. The author takes the story from the 1900s, through the Italian occupation, the Sanusi monarchy and Qadhafi's self-styled revolution. The final chapter is devoted to the events which brought Libya back into the international fold. As the first comprehensive history of Libya over the last two decades, this book will be welcomed by students of the region, professionals and those who are visiting Libya for the first time. less

Stay tuned as those recipes hit the site in the coming weeks. In the meantime, here's a time-lapse video of photographer Mark Shaw shooting (bending, exacting) a casserole dish of brussel sprouts topped with fried chicken livers. We like to call it pro food porn.

ABSTRACT: ANTXR2 variants have been associated with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in two previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) (p∼9×10(-8)). However, a genome-wide significant association (p<5×10(-8)) was not observed.

Article: Identification of multiple risk variants for ankylosing spondylitis through high-density genotyping of immune-related loci[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ankylosing spondylitis is a common, highly heritable inflammatory arthritis affecting primarily the spine and pelvis. In addition to HLA-B*27 alleles, 12 loci have previously been identified that are associated with ankylosing spondylitis in populations of European ancestry, and 2 associated loci have been identified in Asians. In this study, we used the Illumina Immunochip microarray to perform a case-control association study involving 10,619 individuals with ankylosing spondylitis (cases) and 15,145 controls. We identified 13 new risk loci and 12 additional ankylosing spondylitis-associated haplotypes at 11 loci. Two ankylosing spondylitis-associated regions have now been identified encoding four aminopeptidases that are involved in peptide processing before major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I presentation. Protective variants at two of these loci are associated both with reduced aminopeptidase function and with MHC class I cell surface expression.Nature Genetics 01/2013; · 35.21 Impact Factor
Article: Evidence of genetic association between TNFRSF1A encoding the p55 tumour necrosis factor receptor, and ankylosing spondylitis in UK Caucasians.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To replicate the possible genetic association between ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and TNFRSF1A. TNFRSF1A was re-sequenced in 48 individuals with AS to identify novel polymorphisms. Nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TNFRSF1A and 5 SNPs in the neighbouring gene SCNN1A were genotyped in 1604 UK Caucasian individuals with AS and 1019 matched controls. An extended study was implemented using additional genotype data on 8 of these SNPs from 1400 historical controls from the 1958 British Birth Cohort. A meta-analysis of previously published results was also undertaken. One novel variant in intron 6 was identified but no new coding variants. No definite associations were seen in the initial study but in the extended study there were weak associations with rs4149576 (p=0.04) and rs4149577 (p=0.007). In the meta-analysis consistent, somewhat stronger associations were seen with rs4149577 (p=0.002) and rs4149578 (p=0.006). These studies confirm the weak genetic associations between AS and TNFRSF1A. In view of the previously reported associations of TNFRSF1A with AS, in Caucasians and Chinese, and the biological plausibility of this candidate gene, replication of this finding in well powered studies is clearly indicated.Clinical and experimental rheumatology 01/2012; 30(1):110-3. · 2.66 Impact Factor

Article: The histone demethylase JARID1A is associated with susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Associations with disease identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) must be replicated and refined to validate causative variants. In the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium (WTCCC) GWAS using 14 500 non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNP), rs11062385 (a nsSNP in JARID1A) showed nominal association with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) (P=0.0006, odds ratio (OR)=1.26, 95% confidence interval (95% CI)=1.1-1.4). To replicate and refine the association of JARID1A, rs11062385 was genotyped in 730 further cases and compared with allele frequencies in non-AS disease cohorts typed by WTCCC. We replicated the initial association (P=0.04, OR=1.16, 95% CI=1.01-1.34) and identified a strengthened association with AS in a meta-analysis of this new study combined with the original WTCCC study (P=0.0001, OR=1.21, 95% CI=1.10-1.33). We also genotyped nine further intronic tagging SNPs in JARID1A in 1604 AS cases and 1020 new control samples, but none was associated with AS. JARID1A or a locus in strong linkage disequilibrium with it is a positional candidate for susceptibility to AS.Genes and immunity 05/2011; 12(5):395-8. · 4.22 Impact Factor
Article: Interaction between ERAP1 and HLA-B27 in ankylosing spondylitis implicates peptide handling in the mechanism for HLA-B27 in disease susceptibility.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ankylosing spondylitis is a common form of inflammatory arthritis predominantly affecting the spine and pelvis that occurs in approximately 5 out of 1,000 adults of European descent. Here we report the identification of three variants in the RUNX3, LTBR-TNFRSF1A and IL12B regions convincingly associated with ankylosing spondylitis (P < 5 × 10(-8) in the combined discovery and replication datasets) and a further four loci at PTGER4, TBKBP1, ANTXR2 and CARD9 that show strong association across all our datasets (P < 5 × 10(-6) overall, with support in each of the three datasets studied). We also show that polymorphisms of ERAP1, which encodes an endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase involved in peptide trimming before HLA class I presentation, only affect ankylosing spondylitis risk in HLA-B27-positive individuals. These findings provide strong evidence that HLA-B27 operates in ankylosing spondylitis through a mechanism involving aberrant processing of antigenic peptides.Nature Genetics 01/2011; 43(8):761-7. · 35.21 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is polygenic with contributions from the immunologically relevant genes HLA-B*27, ERAP1 and IL23R. A recent genome-wide association screen (GWAS) identified associations (P approximately 0.005) with the non-synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs), rs4077515 and rs3812571, in caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 9 (CARD9) and small nuclear RNA-activating complex polypeptide 4 (SNAPC4) on chromosome 9q that had previously been linked to AS. We replicated these associations in a study of 730 AS patients compared with 2879 historic disease controls (rs4077515 P=0.0004, odds ratio (OR)=1.2, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.1-1.4; rs3812571 P=0.0003, OR=1.2, 95% CI=1.1-1.4). Meta-analysis revealed strong associations of both SNPs with AS, rs4077515 P=0.000005, OR=1.2, 95% CI=1.1-1.3 and rs3812571 P=0.000006, OR=1.2, 95% CI=1.1-1.3. We then typed 1604 AS cases and 1020 controls for 13 tagging SNPs; 6 showed at least nominal association, 5 of which were in CARD9. We imputed genotypes for 13 additional SNPs but none was more strongly associated with AS than the tagging SNPs. Finally, interrogation of an mRNA expression database revealed that the SNPs most strongly associated with AS (or in strong linkage disequilibrium) were those most associated with CARD9 expression. CARD9 is a plausible candidate for AS given its central role in the innate immune response.Genes and immunity 05/2010; 11(6):490-6. · 4.22 Impact Factor
Article: Genome-wide association study of ankylosing spondylitis identifies non-MHC susceptibility loci.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To identify susceptibility loci for ankylosing spondylitis, we undertook a genome-wide association study in 2,053 unrelated ankylosing spondylitis cases among people of European descent and 5,140 ethnically matched controls, with replication in an independent cohort of 898 ankylosing spondylitis cases and 1,518 controls. Cases were genotyped with Illumina HumHap370 genotyping chips. In addition to strong association with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC; P < 10(-800)), we found association with SNPs in two gene deserts at 2p15 (rs10865331; combined P = 1.9 x 10(-19)) and 21q22 (rs2242944; P = 8.3 x 10(-20)), as well as in the genes ANTXR2 (rs4333130; P = 9.3 x 10(-8)) and IL1R2 (rs2310173; P = 4.8 x 10(-7)). We also replicated previously reported associations at IL23R (rs11209026; P = 9.1 x 10(-14)) and ERAP1 (rs27434; P = 5.3 x 10(-12)). This study reports four genetic loci associated with ankylosing spondylitis risk and identifies a major role for the interleukin (IL)-23 and IL-1 cytokine pathways in disease susceptibility.Nature Genetics 02/2010; 42(2):123-7. · 35.21 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: To replicate and refine the reported association of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) with two non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) on chromosome 16q22.1. Firstly, 730 independent UK patients with AS were genotyped for rs9939768 and rs6979 and allele frequencies were compared with 2879 previously typed historic disease controls. Secondly, the two data sets were combined in meta-analyses. Finally, 5 tagging SNPs, located between rs9939768 and rs6979, were analysed in 1604 cases and 1020 controls. The association of rs6979 with AS was replicated, p=0.03, OR=1.14 (95% CI 1.01 to 1.28), and a trend for association with rs9939768 detected, p=0.06, OR=1.25 (95% CI 0.99 to 1.57). Meta-analyses revealed association of both SNPs with AS, p=0.0008, OR=1.31 (95% CI 1.12 to 1.54) and p=0.0009, OR=1.15 (95% CI 1.06 to 1.23) for rs9939768 and rs6979, respectively. New associations with rs9033 and rs868213 (p=0.00002, OR=1.23 (95% CI 1.12 to 1.36) and p=0.00002 OR=1.45 (95% CI 1.22 to 1.72), respectively, were identified. The region on chromosome 16 that has been replicated in the present work is interesting as the highly plausible candidate gene, tumour necrosis factor receptor type 1 (TNFR1)-associated death domain (TRADD), is located between rs9033 and rs868213. It will require additional work to identify the primary genetic association(s) with AS.Annals of the rheumatic diseases 10/2009; 69(6):1243-6. · 8.11 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: A strong association between ERAP1 and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) was recently identified by the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium and the Australo-Anglo-American Spondylitis Consortium (WTCCC-TASC) study. ERAP1 is highly polymorphic with strong linkage disequilibrium evident across the gene. We therefore conducted a series of experiments to try to identify the primary genetic association(s) with ERAP1. We replicated the original associations in an independent set of 730 patients and 1021 controls, resequenced ERAP1 to define the full extent of coding polymorphisms and tested all variants in additional association studies. The genetic association with ERAP1 was independently confirmed; the strongest association was with rs30187 in the replication set (P = 3.4 x 10(-3)). When the data were combined with the original WTCCC-TASC study the strongest association was with rs27044 (P = 1.1 x 10(-9)). We identified 33 sequence polymorphisms in ERAP1, including three novel and eight known non-synonymous polymorphisms. We report several new associations between AS and polymorphisms distributed across ERAP1 from the extended case-control study, the most significant of which was with rs27434 (P = 4.7 x 10(-7)). Regression analysis failed to identify a primary association clearly; we therefore used data from HapMap to impute genotypes for an additional 205 non-coding SNPs located within and adjacent to ERAP1. A number of highly significant associations (P < 5 x 10(-9)) were identified in regulatory sequences which are good candidates for causing susceptibility to AS, possibly by regulating ERAP1 expression.Human Molecular Genetics 08/2009; 18(21):4204-12. · 7.69 Impact Factor
Article: Association between the interleukin 23 receptor and ankylosing spondylitis is confirmed by a new UK case-control study and meta-analysis of published series.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: It has been shown previously that IL-23R variants are associated with AS. We conducted an extended analysis in the UK population and a meta-analysis with the previously published studies, in order to refine these IL-23R associations with AS. The UK case-control study included 730 new cases and 1331 healthy controls. In the extended study, the 730 cases were combined with 1088 published cases. Allelic associations were analysed using contingency tables. In the meta-analysis, 3482 cases and 3150 controls from four different published studies and the new UK cases were combined. DerSimonian-Laird test was used to calculate random effects pooled odds ratios (ORs). In the UK case-control study with new cases, four of the eight SNPs showed significant associations, whereas in the extended UK study, seven of the eight IL-23R SNPs showed significant associations (P < 0.05) with AS, maximal with rs11209032 (P < 10(-5), OR 1.3), when cases with IBD and/or psoriasis were excluded. The meta-analysis showed significant associations with all eight SNPs; the strongest associations were again seen not only with rs11209032 (P = 4.06 x 10(-9), OR approximately 1.2) but also with rs11209026 (P < 10(-10), OR approximately 0.6). IL-23R polymorphisms are clearly associated with AS, but the primary causal association(s) is(are) still not established. These polymorphisms could contribute either increased or decreased susceptibility to AS; functional studies will be required for their full evaluation. Additionally, observed stronger associations with SNPs rs11209026 and rs11465804 upon exclusion of IBD and/or psoriasis cases may represent an independent association with AS.Rheumatology (Oxford, England) 02/2009; 48(4):386-9. · 4.24 Impact Factor

We've had so much rain in Sydney the last few months, several of my friends have frogs in their yards - not seen for years.
Best I can do is a family of blue tongues with their baby on the ground and 2 kookaburra fledglings above; neither would be friends to an 8mm frog!!

We have a number of brown striped marsh frogs in our garden. I love the bok-bok sound the males make at night. Currently they are spawning in a large IKEA fruit bowl filled with floating hyacinth. They probably would appreciate a pond. Perhaps I should ask santa...

The Bush Stonecurlews have been feeding on the little Northern Dwarf Treefrogs and giving them to their chick. This morning I almost walked on the young one but both parents came at me with their wings out, displaying large white spots and hissing at me.

Talking of frogs Alan, its been a good year down here on the coast for the whitelipped giant green tree frog. Three fairly big ones in the house yesterday, and a baby in our breakfast room, which is semi-outdoors.
Sunbirds finished building their amazing nest in carport, but have deserted it, assume that's because of lurking butcher birds. Such a shame, but what can you do?
Report Abuse
Pat, there is often a gap between the end of building and the commencement of laying. My theory is that nest building is a very obvious activity which alerts potential predators. By staying away for a week or so the predators forget and then egg laying and incubation is a fairly quiet activity.
There is a Pied Monarch on a nest at the Curtain Figtree at the moment. The male does most of the daytime sitting. He has a lovely blue ring of skin around his eye. The nest is the the hanging fruit of a fishtail wait-a-while and is decorated with pale lichens. In that position they will be safe from all but aerial predators and idiot tourists.
Report Abuse
I'd like to see that nest, Alan.
Don't know about these butcher birds, there was one in the carport when the sunbirds were finishing their nest, haven't seen them (nesting sunbirds) since. But the butcher birds are getting increasingly bold, and are always about, I don't encourage them by feeding but now they've started marching into house. And one took exception to some cuttings we were trying to start off in garden, just boldy strode up while we were close by and flung them out in what appeared to be total disgust. I'd really rather have the sunbirds!!!
Report Abuse
Pat, I'll send you a picture.
Black Butcherbirds in my experience are not as cheeky as other species but I guess there are many variables including the people they come into contact with as they move around their territories. I have just checked above and find that there is totally an assumption on my part that they are the Black Butcherbirds. They may be some other species.
White-lipped Treefrogs cannot breed up here in the mountains. Without a cold winter they can hang on for years if they are transported up in pot plants and such like. We had one here for a while but it could not stand the severe winter we had this year. [Must have been 10 frosts!]

wonderful scenery and views, a must for anyone visiting Cairns
Loved the raillway/skyrail trip.
Very good tour. We missed the rain in the morning so got good pics. Rained coming down
Nothing like this one....!!
The train ride up was amazing - the sky rail would have been equally as nice if the clouds didn't roll in- but it was expected this time of year.
Beautiful ride through the rainforest. I loved the commentary and scenery.
Lived the train trip and sky rail return. Had plenty of time at the nature park. Included lunch was good as well -- one of the better lunches that were part of a package.

The view from the skyrail was just amazing! Would do the skyrail again.
Wow it was so nice I'm looking forward to go again on this train breath taking scenaries water fall amazing rail trip superb
Did this tour (the opposite way round) 17 years ago. This time going to the Tjapuki centre first, enjoyed throwing spears and boomerangs, and a fantastic dance show. Then walked to the Sky rail which took us to Kuranda. The journey back was spectacular and brought back some good memories.
Our best day in during our Oz holiday so far. Go up on the train and return by Skyrail. The view of Cairns and the Bay are spectacular are you leave the rainforest and approach station at bottom.
Very enjoyable day.
Robert M
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Kuranda and we were particularly impressed with the friendliness and the help provided by the staff throughout the day. The trip in the train was very relaxing and the scenery along the way was stunning, particularly the waterfalls. We had a few hours to enjoy Kuranda and managed to pick up a couple of bargains at the markets. Coming down on the cable car was well worth the expense - the views are spectacular and we were able to enjoy some stopovers on the way down. A great day overall.
excellent 10 out of 10
A very well organised day as we were picked up from the hotel we were given a detailed itinerary of the day and all our tickets for the train and cable car.The cable car is not for anyone afraid of heights! You are very high up but with fantastic views back down to Cairnes and then over the rainforest. There are 2 stops on route where you can have a walk amongst the trees and see the waterfall. Kuranda has lots of gift shops and cafes to visit.
On the train you are allocated seats and have some views between the trees but not as good as from the cable car.

Alarm Modules
A Variety of Modules to Choose From
What kind of module are you looking for? Do you need additional smoke detectors, motion detectors, glass break detectors or carbon monoxide detectors? We offer modules for all of the above, and some power supply modules even allow for multiple sirens and strobe lights. Some of the more popular modules are even used for applications such as controlling lights, appliances, security gates and garage doors.
Internet Connection Modules
We even offer Internet Connection Modules (ICM), which allow you to control, monitor and communicate with your system via the Internet. In addition, you can find modules which support both 2-way audio VOX and push-to-talk home alarm verification. With the right module, you can turn your simple home security system into an intuitive, 21st-century security powerhouse.
Wired vs Wireless
If you have an expandable alarm system, you should be able to add multiple modules, and Home Security Store offers both wired and wireless options to suit every need. Most modules require their own transformer or battery, and some—like the Ademco Honeywell Digital Cellular Communicator for Lynx Plus—require you to have specific services, like AlarmNet. So make sure to read all product descriptions carefully.
Arm Yourself
Remember, not all makes and models of alarm systems are expandable. That's why you should do your homework before you make a purchase to ensure your system will meet all your home security needs and expectations. If you have any questions, our Tech Support team is here to help. Feel free to call us during regular business hours, or check out Tech Support page to learn more about products and installation.

Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
With his many years of experience as a defense attorney in King County I got very solid representation and Mr. Girard succeeded in getting my felony case dismissed before trial. This is a goal he set from the outset, believing that the State's burden of proof could not be surmounted. Locally educated, he is very competent in this state's areas of law. I was out of the country when charges were filed against me. A rush to judgement by the prosecution together with their reckless accusations resulted in a warrant being issued for my arrest. Greg got the arrest warrant quashed so I could walk off the plane and go home, and at arraignment he successfully argued in getting me released on personal recognizance and the bail money released. It is my belief that Greg Girard's standing and reputation among attorneys and judges in the community and in the prosecutors office was instrumental in me getting the result that I did. Knowledgeable with considerable experience first, and then with a cool and smooth and calming demeanor, I would recommend this attorney to anyone needing competent defense representation. His fees are very reasonable so any future client of his can know their money is being well used. Am very pleased and recommend this attorney without any hesitations. Mr. Girard well uses his practice in order to keep the system fair and honest, and I couldn't be more pleased.
I would highly recommend Greg Girard. He defended me in a felony marijuana case and he did an a great job. He was very attentive to detail and answered any and all questions I had. He really knows his stuff. We fought the case for a year and a half and I was satisfied with the outcome.

New England Electric System has selected 12 companies from the U.S. and Europe to take part in an auction to supply electricity to Massachusetts and Rhode Island "standard offer" customers when...
Residential Pilot Programs: Who's Doing, Who's Dealing?
probably did as well, if not better, than any of the competitors."
New York
On January 1, the juice kicks on for the Power Pick residential program. About 1,500 residential consumers get to choose their power supplier in the pilot, which, like the Illinois pilot, also is proposed by an incumbent utility. Savings projected by the program sponsor, Orange & Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R), run 1 to 2 percent. But because of commodity competition, similar to New Hampshire's, savings could run higher.
Would such savings (em $1 to $2 on a $100 electric bill (em produce enough incentive for customers to leave their utility and pick a company they may have never heard of to supply their power?
"No," says Terry Dittrich, O&R's regulatory affairs manager.
"We're not offering incentives to people to switch," he says. "What we're trying to do is an experiment that allows for customer choice. In New York, anyway, there's a lot of people running around (em as a matter of fact it's even been stated in some of the commission writings on it (em that customer choice is in and of itself a goal. So we said, 'OK, we'll try it out.'"
The experiment is aimed at how to handle and work with a market that gives customers the ability to choose.
"It is not a program designed to produce savings for the customer," Dittrich says flat out.
There's no risk to the utility because the rates are designed for energy only. The financial exposure to the utility is nil; O&R will receive 100 percent of its stranded costs. The savings will have to be pure commodity savings.
So what will be learned from this pilot?
O'Brien weighs in again: "Early surveys showed that a large percentage of customers would switch for no savings, just because they would like to have a choice," he says of pilots in any state. "That really hasn't panned out to ring true. Where a customer isn't going to save any money at all, we haven't seen them switch."
Like New York's program, Massachusetts Electric Co.'s Choice: New England, began January 1. Some 10,000 residents and small businesses in four towns are participating in the stipulated pilot.
Coordinating the program is Environmental Futures, Inc., which will report results to the state's Department of Public Utilities (DPU). According to the company's data, residential electric is being offered by six suppliers at prices ranging from a low of 1.93¢/kWh (Enova Energy) to a high of 3.4¢/kWh for an AllEnergy "green power" option. AllEnergy is a New England Electric System affiliate, as is Massachusetts Electric.
Brian Abbanat, DPU electric power division director, says the commission is taking a "hands off" approach with pilot programs. The DPU's perspective says that pilots offer opportunities for companies to learn about customers, to improve customer relations skills, and to learn about technical systems needed to do business in a competitive market. The DPU sees pilots as company programs, he says.
"We wanted to put more energy into the restructuring process. We really aren't following [pilots] all that closely."

Manager was interested in giving me valuable assignments and was very kind and approachable. The company has well-known clients, and I'd recommend it as a great place to intern where you will get exposure to a variety of projects and learn important skills.Cons
Worked primarily with one manager rather than being exposed to many different people within the department. There is also the possibility that the interns will need to work in a separate location from their department which increases isolation, but this was remedied when the concern was expressed.

CULVER — It is impossible to celebrate Argos' rich history of soccer without mentioning the Culver Academies in the same breath.
If a small town in rural Marshall County in 1963 seems like a strange starting point for the history of soccer in Indiana, that's because, technically, it isn't the starting point. The international sport was originally imported to the state by Culver Military's international students, and Argos initially became aware of it via the Academies' intramural program when the public school was scouting potential fall sports as a way of training for the winter basketball season.
Argos and CMA constitute the first interscholastic soccer teams in Indiana, but while AHS is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its soccer program, Culver Military soccer can trace its roots back at least to the 1940s and its intramural program.
"The kids that historically played for Culver Military Academy were the international kids," said longtime CMA soccer coach Jim Brugh, who served as an assistant coach with the program from 1974-83 before taking the helm as head coach of the Eagles from 1984-2011.
"In the beginning stages they came from South America and Mexico predominantly. Of course somewhere around the late 60s the U.S. kids at the Academy here caught on and also fell in love with the sport and began to train harder than the Latin American kids were training — none of those kids were used to training every day of the week; they'd train maybe two or three days a week back in their home countries and then maybe play a game on the weekend. They weren't used to the rigors of the way United States athletics ran."
Argos and CMA share a unique connection through the sport of soccer. The two schools started the first high school programs in the state — indeed, with no other teams to play the Dragons and the Eagles simply played one another four times in that first season in 1963 and, even as more schools started up programs, they continued a home-and-home series each season for years after — and together helped found the Northern Indiana Soccer Conference, to which they both still belong, in 1969.
Since their inception 50 years ago, the Argos and CMA programs have enjoyed considerable success in the sport of soccer with 28 NISC titles between them — including the Dragons' conference-leading 17, which they added to last season. Each school owns seven sectional titles and although sectional competition between the two ended with the advent of the two-class state soccer tournament by the IHSAA in 2011, a spirited rivalry between the programs remains.
Brugh can recall both his players and their Argos opponents bringing a little something extra to the pitch for their games with one another.
"When Argos and CMA got on the soccer field together, it was a special moment in the seasons for both schools. The rivalry between Argos and CMA on the soccer field takes on a new dimension. I have known both CMA teams and Argos teams who historically have not necessarily in a particular year been exceptionally strong, but during that match both teams play basically above their ability. It's fun to watch because all of the players on the field were inspired," he said.
"In the initial years there was always a home and away contest, so you played each other two times a year, and they were quite animated, quite fun to watch and quite fun to coach."
Since Argos and CMA gave soccer to Indiana in 1963, the sport has changed dramatically. It's become faster-paced and yet more controlled. It's also become much more technical.
"If you want to take it roughly from the beginning days to what it is right now, the beginnings were not necessarily the most skilled kind of soccer that you saw anywhere in the world," Brugh said. "It was more athleticism that would win a game than soccer ability, and that has since changed over to nowadays you tend to see more soccer ability deciding the victory than just pure athleticism. Once in awhile you can still see a bunch of athletes that will beat a skilled soccer team on the field; it still happens but not nearly as much as it used to."
From its humble beginning of just two teams in southern Marshall County 50 years ago — one looking for something to do in the buildup to basketball season and the other seeking an outlet into the game its international students were homesick for — there has been tremendous growth in Indiana high school soccer, with the IHSAA now recognizing 300 boys teams and 162 girls teams. And fans of the beautiful game in the state have CMA and Argos to thank.View more articles in:
