The government has outlined plans to allow road pricing on new infrastructure. They should go further and denationalise the entire road network.
Privatising Britain's road network would raise more than £150bn. This could be used to phase out motoring taxes. It would not only deliver a better road network for Britain's drivers, but would also cost motorists less than the current system.
The growing number of successful privately built and operated roads around the world – often in developing countries – also strengthens the case for ending state control.
Britain's road network is poor
· Across the world, state-owned roads are characterised by endemic congestion, high accident rates, poor maintenance and wasteful investment. The estimated cost of congestion in the UK alone is £20bn a year. Adjusting for traffic levels, Britain has a far smaller motorway network that most other major economies.
· The government is biased towards public transport over road investment, and cost-benefit analyses are often ignored. Road schemes have been cancelled with benefit-cost ratios three times higher than High Speed 2.
A privatised road network would be cheaper and faster for motorists
Allowing private owners to negotiate routes, set toll rates, control access and determine rules for users would:
1. Ensure more efficient use of existing capacity
2. Provide more efficient investment in new capacity
3. Allocate traffic flows more efficiently
4. Smooth traffic jams
5. Reduce the number of road accidents and fatalities
6. Allow innovations such as higher speed limits and heavier lorries
Road users would pay less under a privatised road network than they do at the moment and would have a better quality network. For example, tolls for cars could be as little as 6p per mile on a brand new motorway. For most cars, this would be less than the fuel duty currently paid. Charges for using existing parts of the network would generally be even cheaper than this.
A plan to privatise
· Denationalising the road network would involve phasing out taxes applied specifically to the road sector, such as fuel duty and Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax).
· The reform of transport taxation could be part funded by transfer of new road co

Pinot Grigio
- j
- johnnywaves Aug 26, 2006 02:10 PM
I know nothing about wine. I'd like to get a couple inexpensive bottles of Pinot Grigio to have around. Any suggestions? lets say $7-12 range
Ecco Domani is very inexpensive and is a great 'starter' wine for those less experienced. It has enough character to cook with as well. You can find it in most supermarkets. Have fun!
Link to NYT article on Pinot Grigio last week - the second best was $10. We've been drinking Livio Felluga Colli Orientali del Friuli 2004, which was also listed, but about $23 - left over from vacation splurge.
This may get me crucified, but I really like the boxed pinot grigio that Target carries. About a year ago I went on a kick to see if any of the new box brands had truly stepped up the game, as at that point many were predicting that boxes would be the next big thing. I tasted a lot of disappointments, but the only rave was the Target pinot grigio, which more than held its own against all the mid-range, domestically available brands I've tried. I would not be ashamed to serve it at my table.
Don't worry you won't be crucified by me. I appreciate your advice,... but I do want to have it around for this girl I'm seeing and a box might not impress her...
When I get to know her better maybe I'll find a box.
Don't shoot me for suggesting an alternative! Another clean white wine (comparable to Pinot Grigio because it's bright, fresh and straightforward, but far less watery and boring than many of them can be...) is Hofer Gruner Veltliner. It usually sells for between $9-10 a litre and comes in a distinctive green bottle with a bottle cap instead of a cork. It's kind of "fancy", I guess, because it's Austrian and biodynamic - but it's still my go-to basic white under 10 bucks.
re: frenetica
I'd second this wine. Really interesting with the"bottle cap" on it, no cork, no twist off. The price is outstanding and it drinks wonderfully.
re: melly
Santa Margherita is a very well marketed mediocre wine. They were the first on the block and do benefit from that. However the quality has been going down hill for years in order to meet demand. I believe it is made at a co operative and it is certainly not an Estate grown wine. There are many other PG's that outshine Santa at a fraction of the price.
re: Winemark
Great! What is your favorite? The ones I've purchased were not as good...but then I am just learning about wine. I still like Santa M.
re: Shooley
What do you mean by "not a serious wine"?
re: melly
I am NOT one of those serious wine people, but I too think SM is way over hyped, sorry. In my area it runs about $28, and I have had so much better tasting - to me.
May seem weird, but if all they offer in Pino is SM I'll go for a beer.
Off the top of my head - all of which are $10 less retail.
My spelling may be off on some.(most)
San Angelo
Just remember if YOU like it, don't think about it.
I only drink domestic beers, Bud and the like. Hubby loves to try anything but. We both love it draft though - so there is the common link!
As in food - to each their own. Drink/eat what you like, and to heck with everyone else!
re: Winemark
The Livio Felluga is as good as I've ever had. Also like some of the Oregon Pinot Gris (same grape), but almost never see them outside the state.
re: Winemark
Thank you Winemark. I have made a note of it and will try them. I appreciate your help here.
My fav wine is pinot noir...tried one tonight by Trinchero of Napa Valley. It had a peppery bite that I really didn't like much. Maybe it is pedestrian swill...I don't know.
Try Kris Pinot Grigio. It is about $10 and received high marks from Parker.
I agree with the comment on Gruner Veltliner. A nice, and slighter more interesting alternative.
re: Winemark
I am referring to Canada, here the wines are imported directly by Empson.
Even though Kobrand distributes the brand in the USA, it is owned by Neil Empson. I don't know why they don't distribute it themselves in the USA, perhaps legal or competition reasons. Check out www.empson.com or www.bolliniwines.com.
tiamo, elena walch, villa borgo (forchir) all make good, inexpensive pg. try pinot gris from other places, though-- you may find that you like them more, and they won't get quite as many sneers from corkdorks. kracher just started putting out a dry pinot gris from illmitz--it's southern austria, which is more well known for red wines, and kracher is better known for sweet wines--all that notwithstanding, really well made for not a lot of money.
and again--cardinal rule should be: drink what you like!
I like the Pinot Grigio by Luna Vineyards (~$18) & Zeneto (~$10) & agreed that SM is overhyped & overpriced for what it is.
Try the Ca Montini. It is a little more full bodied than some I have had. Fragrant nose. Citrus flavors. $12 to 15.

Where does Zeigler fit best?
Originally Published: March 12, 2010By ESPN Recruiting
While Trey Zeigler (Mt. Pleasant, Mich./Mt. Pleasant) is playing his recruitment close to the vest, UCLA, Michigan, Michigan State, Central Michigan and Duke are the likely favorites. While Central Michigan doesn't necessarily have the same tradition as the other programs on his list, it's important to remember that's where his dad, Ernie Zeigler, coaches. Here's a look at what all five programs have to offer this scoring guard with good size and strength.
Trey Zeigler
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 190 | ESPNU 100: 30 | SG rank: 6
Height: 6-5 | Weight: 190 | ESPNU 100: 30 | SG rank: 6
|UCLA likes to run when the opportunity presents itself, because coach Ben Howland is very comfortable running sets in the half-court. Howland also likes defense and toughness, two characteristics Zeigler has. He is also a solid rebounder for his position, which will bring a smile to Howland's face.
|Leading scorer Mike Roll is one of three graduating seniors, and there is not a lot of quality depth in the backcourt, so immediate playing time is there for the taking. Zeigler is a good enough shooter to play in the half-court and is a solid athlete that can score and create in transition.
|UCLA has a tradition of producing a lot of pros over the years. Howland has sent his share to the NBA, most recently Luc Richard Mbah a Moute. However, Zeigler is more skilled and talented offensively, and with continued development could find himself as a pro prospect, though he is not a one-and-done player.
|Zeigler spent a lot of time on the West Coast and at UCLA and is very familiar with Howland and the UCLA campus. His father, Ernie Zeigler, was an assistant under Howland for three years at UCLA before leaving to become the head coach at Central Michigan.
|Under coach John Beilein, who is considered one of the better teachers of shooting the basketball, Michigan plays a unique style that emphasizes the 3-pointer. However, the Wolverines will look to run when the timing is right.
|If current junior stud Manny Harris decides to forgo his senior season, that would open up a wing spot for Zeigler. He is considered more of a scorer than a shooter, though his shooting is solid. This could be enhanced at Michigan with the coaching he would receive.
|Beilein is not known for producing a great many pros, but he does develop a lot of players, and most have gotten better after their time with him. Zeigler would be no exception and could develop himself into a pro over time.
|Zeigler has been in Michigan through his entire high school career, and the idea of playing at home, coupled with Michigan's roster situation, means great things for the Wolverines. Zeigler could feasibly walk into Harris' starting spot and put up major numbers.
|Michigan State's style is similar to UCLA's. The Spartans run when the opportunities present themselves and pride themselves on rebounding and defense. Zeigler's athletic ability allows him to be a factor in transition, and his skill will let him be effective in the Spartans' half-court sets.
|Zeigler would fit perfectly in time. Current Spartans wings (Chris Allen, Durrell Summers) are juniors, and combo forward Raymar Morgan is a senior. Worst-case scenario is he plays as a backup as a freshman and then competes for a starting spot as a sophomore.
|Coach Tom Izzo and the Spartans have done a great job of developing perimeter players and getting them drafted. If current juniors Allen and Summers return they will have a solid chance at getting drafted after next season. Zeigler has pro potential that could be brought out by the right coach and system.
|Home cooking will be a major factor. Even though Michigan State might not be able to promise the same substantial playing time Michigan can, the Spartans can offer the winning tradition. Michigan State has been to the tournament every year since 1998.
|The MAC is a grind-it-out league. Teams may try to run, but the league is mostly a half-court league. Zeigler is fine with that style of play. His skill level and talent are varied enough that he can fit any style of play.
|At Central Michigan, Zeigler fits as the star attraction and main cog from Day 1. The team's leading scorers, Jordan Bitzer and Robbie Harman, are both seniors. Zeigler would be able to walk into a situation in which he is given the ball and the leadership reins.
|Though the MAC doesn't produce as many pros now as it did five years ago, there are many positives to playing at a mid-major. Zeigler would be able to put up great numbers as long as he is with the Chippewas and play multiple positions over his career, increasing his value to a pro scout.
|The fact that Zeigler's father is the Chippewas' head coach is a huge X factor. The Zeiglers are allowing Trey to make his own decision, but you have to believe his dad is making a pitch for him to stay at home. Plus, he could be the face of the MAC.
|Duke has always been a great place for perimeter players to excel. Its offense is built around productivity from their guards. Zeigler could follow the long line of big-time guards that have played at Duke. His versatility would allow him to play any style coach Mike Krzyzewski wants to play.
|Leading scorer Jon Scheyer leaves after this season. He has played a lot of point guard but is a natural wing. Point guard may be a stretch for Zeigler, but he can provide excellent depth for a year and then fight for a starting position with Andre Dawkins or start next to him.
|If Zeigler becomes a Blue Devil, as long as he is productive he will get a legit shot at playing in the league. Coach K has been around pros and coached pros for a long time. He will definitely know the ins and outs for Zeigler's development at the next level.
|Among Zeigler's suitors, Duke has been pursuing him for the shortest time. However, that may not be all bad, because the Blue Devils' sales pitch is the freshest in his mind. Duke's heritage and tradition is unmatched, and it wins more than its share of national battles.

Callum Preston
Demari Gray showed a great piece of individual skill to open the scoring for Blues after just 17 minutes when he chipped the ball over two defenders, before firing the ball past goalkeeper.
Foday Nabay then doubled his side's advantage from close range just before the half-hour mark after he latched onto a deflected free kick.
In what was an open encounter, both sides had a number additional chances. Blues keeper Callum Preston (pictured) put in a fine performance to deny the hosts with some key saves.
Academy coach Steve Spooner was extremely happy with side's performance and felt that goalkeeper Preston was a key player.
"I was delighted to see us come away with a clean sheet again," said Spooner. "A lot of credit for that was down to good goalkeeping by Callum Preston who made two terrific saves early on including one in the first 30 seconds and a one-on-one.
"After withstanding the early pressure we created numerous chances ourselves and scored twice. I was delighted with the overall standard of play from the players.
"Their passing and movement was very good and there was a good understanding of the tactical side of the game as well, in terms of defensive shape in and out of possession."

A restaurateur's bust was pinched by pranksters in the middle of the night.
The statue of proprietor Jane Bom-Bane holding a revolving tray had become a local landmark outside Bom Banes restaurant in George Street, Brighton.
Handcrafted by the creator of the original Star Wars R2D2, Jane's bust had been in pride of place perched above the window of the Kemp Town restaurant for five-and-a-half years.
However early on Saturday morning (December 1) the bust was unbolted from its bracket and the electrical cables wrenched from the wall.
The distraught restaurateur said: "It is very sad.
"I feel like my alter ego has been snatched.
"It has no use or value to anyone else, but it is a part of us.
Breaking noise
"My brother-in-law John Jostins who made the original R2D2 made it and a local girl Melanie Pellett had just made a new tray for her as part of her art course.
"Neighbours heard a kerfuffle and a breaking sound, then they heard voices retreating. Then someone saying 'you could get that', and they came back.
"She was bolted to the ledge so they much have climbed up and unbolted her and pulled the wires that power the light and rotating tray straight out of the wall. It was obviously just a prank – a trophy to steal, but it is very upsetting for us."
The thieves are believed to have made off in the direction of St James' Street at some point between 1.30am and 3.30am on Saturday, December 1.
Sussex Police are investigating the theft and Jane is appealing for help from anyone who saw her unusual sculpture being carted away to come forward to help police pinpoint the exact time of the crime and track down the thieves on CCTV.
Have you seen Jane's statue?

Professor Joel Brockner On Defining Leadership For Small Businesses
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Leadership used to refer to a position of power, but now it is generally understood as a type of behavior. People are leaders not simply because of the job title they hold: it's more about what they do. While the leaders of any business face many problems in common, as a small business owner you need to be aware of some particular issues that can have an effect on the success you achieve for your company.

Izzie is a sweet Doberman mix that desperately needs her own home. When I pulled her out of the shelter through the rescue group I work with she had been there for 10 months. She was extremely nervous and shy at first but she has done a 180.

She is friendly towards all people, but doesn't expect much and is independent. We believe that may change once she is showered with the affection that she did not receive at the start of her life.

10 ways to help heal after this tragic event:
"Healing" is derived from the old English word "hoelan," to make whole. How we integrate what has happened in our lives is up to each of us.
1. Prioritize your life goals and commit to what is meaningful to you.
2. Connect with friends, family and community in meaningful ways every day.
3. Share and express your feelings. Join in community ritual to share grief and reinforce a sense of human belonging.
4. Normalize your life, by maintaining your schedule and ongoing commitments as much as possible.
5. Focus on doing the best job you can. Attend to the responsibilities of your job as a parent, a community member, spouse and worker.
6. Take time to have fun. Laugh, play sports and engage in activities that reaffirm your personal life, values and relationships.
7. Engage in calming activities, such as yoga, walking, golf, meditation or any other practice that soothes your mind and body.
8. Take positive action. Spend time with your kids, volunteer, give blood or donate money to help others.
9. Value life. Commit to live your life with conviction and passion.
10. Express your love in words and actions to those who are important in your life.
Symptoms of stress
All of us have been exposed to a very traumatic national event. How we handle stress is very individual. Some of us will have more difficulty than others coping with this trauma. It is not uncommon to experience an acute stress reaction, which lasts anywhere from two days to four weeks or find pre-existing symptoms of anxiety are exacerbated. Others will find themselves affected by longer lasting post-traumatic stress disorder.

REQUIREMENTS At least 3 HE Institutions Study in at least 2HE institutions At least 2 languages Duration: 1-2 years Joint/multiple diplomas delivered TIME SCHEDULE Implemented by the European Commission via calls for proposals The Erasmus Mundus programme will be implemented as of the academic year 2004/2005 There is the Call for proposals EAC/21/04 relating to the year 2004. The deadline for the submission of proposals was 31, may, 2004. (Present actions 1,2 and 3). There is also a detailed Application Form. There will be another call for proposals within six months. Courses: start in sept/oct 2004 SPECIFIC FUNDING 15.000€/year for Master Courses (5000 per partner in a 3 partner course) (during a period of 5 years). 21.000€ student/year for action http://europa.eu.int/comm/education/programmes/mundus/index_en.html# Erasmus Mundus Programme/European Union Masters Courses The Erasmus Mundus scheme is intended to strengthen international links in higher education, by enabling students and visiting scholars from around the world to engage in postgraduate study at European universities, as well as by encouraging the mobility of European students and scholars. The basic features of the programme include a global scholarship scheme for non-EU students, linked to the creation of European Union Masters Courses at European universities. These postgraduate courses would involve study at several higher education institutions in different Member States and be distinguished by their European label. The program foresees the creation of around 90 inter-university networks to provide 250 EU Masters Courses by 2008. Partnerships between EU Masters Courses and institutions of other countries are encouraged. The Erasmus Mundus programme will be implemented from September 2004 for an initial period of 5 years up until 2008. The planned budget for the Erasmus World project is €300 million for the period 2004-2008. This new European higher education program therefore aims to: strengthen links between European universities, and between European and non-European countries; facilitate opportunities for non-Europeans to study at European universities; enable European students to study masters courses in other European universities alongside non-European students. The first call for proposals for Erasmus Mundus Masters courses was made in November 2003 (EUROPA: Socrates - Guidelines for Applicants, Call for Proposals and application forms) Program Structure Participating countries: Erasmus Mundus Masters will be jointly developed by universities from at least three different EU Member States; these include the 15 Member States, the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) States, and the acceding and candidate countries; World-wide Partnerships: EU universities offering Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses are encouraged to cooperate with universities from third countries in joint projects lasting up to three years; partnership requires three EU Member states and one non-EU higher education institution; Program selection: The selection of European Union Masters Courses will be carried out by a Selection Board chaired by the Commission. The primary criterion for selection will be quality, but the Commission will also ensure a balanced geographical representation of Member States; Language requirement: Erasmus Mundus Masters courses require the use of at least two languages; Student selection: Each Masters Course would determine the academic conditions for admission. The selection process will pay due regard to gender and equity issues. Students applying for a scholarship must demonstrate acceptance in principle by a European Union Masters Course; Credit transfer: Masters programs will build in recognition of periods of study undertaken in partner institutions in accordance with the European Credit Transfer System. Study periods at the host institution would be regarded as an integral part of the degree requirements at the sending institution, which would entail prior agreement on credit recognition; as a rule, study periods would have a minimum duration of one month and a maximum of six months. Scholarships: Students will apply for scholarships to undertake these courses Selection will be carried out by a Selection Board, chaired by the Commission. The Selection Board will ensure appropriate balance across European Union Masters Courses, fields of study, students' regions of provenance and will encourage participation of women and less advantaged students from third countries; Visiting scholars: Erasmus Mundus Masters will host visiting scholars world-wide for teaching and research collaborations of approximately three months duration; Staff and student exchanges: The program will facilitate exchanges of students and staff between the EU and the third countries; Mobility: Students on the Masters courses will study in at least two of the three EU universities offering the joint course. Scale of the Erasmus Mundus program It is intended that the Erasmus Mundus program will: result in 250 EU Masters courses by 2008, with double or multiply badged degrees of the participating institutions; provide scholarships for 4200 non-EU students for up to two academic years to undertake a Masters course at EU participating institutions; fund 4000 European students to study in EU priority areas in third countries; fund 1000 visiting scholars to conduct teaching and research at EU participating institutions; fund 800 European scholars to conduct teaching and research in third countries; fund other collaborative measures, including conferences, research, publications, and the development of on-line learning technologies.

Mobile Device Security Measures What measures are you taking to address the bring your own device (BYOD) trend? Narrowing support down to specific devices may be a tempting approach. Some CIOs are saying "no" all together. As easy as each of these sound, they may be eliminated as options for CIOs moving forward. This assertion comes from a recent report by IDG News Service, highlighting a panel discussion that took place at the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The panel fervently discussed BYOD and affirmed the critical role that mobile device management (MDM) has had in assisting IT and the enterprise as a whole. "IT departments can either support [the BYOD trend] or be a receiver of the fallout," said Rob Stefanic, CIO of Sensata Technology According to Stefanic, Sensata didn't completely understand the consequences of employees connecting to the network with mobile devices when the company adopted a cloud-based platform in 2007. The current goal for IT is to reduce the impact of security breaches without limiting employee access to company data.It can be tough to find a balance between security and freedom, but the first step is knowledge. To discover the essential demands BYOD policies should meet, read The Ten Commandments of BYOD.

Wondering where everyone's been? If you're coming off of a quiet weekend, chances are high that your friends, family, and co-workers have been busily acquainting themselves with their new iPads, released on March 16th. The newest addition to the famed tablet family has gathered plenty of interest from a range of demographics, and IT pros are no exception.
Proponents of enterprise bring-your-own-device (BYOD) programs have taken a two-pronged approach to their argument. The first is simple: you have a personal device with all of your contacts, apps, and personal settings configured, so why complicate things by using a different device at work? The added benefits are of the many; you free up some space in your bag or pocket, you can respond to urgent matters no matter where you are or what time it is--finally, your work resources, materials, and documents are centralized in one place. And let's remember: using your own device makes it possible to do serious work a fun way. You'll find yourself transformed into a more productive worker. Let's face it, those who are buying in to it have an edge over those who aren't.

Forget lounging by the pool with a sleepy novel as you drift from port to port. Cruise ships today are working hard to outdo each other when it comes to thrills. Here are the latest on-board attractions that pack a serious adrenaline rush.
Being healthy during a cruise vacation is typically a foregone conclusion. Cruise lines make food almost constantly available to their guests, making it as easy as pie to lay on a few extra pounds between the gourmet meals, overflowing buffets, and tasty midnight snacks. And guests certainly take advantage, considering the treats are mostly already covered in their cruise fare.
But for a growing number of cruisers, staying fit has become a significant part of their vacation plans. The good news is that in recent years, cruise lines have created innovative ways to help their passengers both have their midnight feasts and keep their waistlines, too.
Cruise lines lure couples onto their ships with promises of romance for all ages. After all, what could be more lovely than watching the evening sky turn pink across a calm sea with your loved one?
Indeed, cruisers typically travel in pairs, says Cruise Lines International Association, with married couples representing 80 percent of the passengers. We can think of a few ways to kindle the fire on any itinerary — like cozying up with a room service dinner or making a reservation at an intimate specialty restaurant. You can always spring for a side-by-side massage at the spa and try the hot tub after dark (when kids who run around during the day will be all tucked in). Or, during a port of call, why not take a horseback ride on the beach or sign up for a two-person parasailing excursion?
But for those who want to take romance to the next level yet, cruise lines also offer many romance and special event packages that feature amenities designed to create just the right mood:
There's a running joke among boat owners that riffs on the steep costs associated with such a high maintenance toy: BOAT, they say, stands for "bring out another thousand." For those who yearn for the boating lifestyle but can't stomach the expense or commitment, there are a number of Airbnb-style platforms that offer yacht-sharing as a cheaper alternative to ownership. Here's the scoop on three different sites, with examples of where you'll be able to sail and how much it'll cost you.
It's sunrise. You're sitting on the outdoor deck of your cruise ship, sipping coffee and nibbling a croissant, watching the ship maneuver into its dock in turquoise waters. But disembarking on the gorgeous island won't come cheap.
By this we mean that the cruise line you're traveling with will hand over oodles of money to each port your ship visits, and often to various U.S. government agencies like Customs. That's where the government taxes and port charges that you pay with your base cruise fare come from (and, to some first-timers' surprise, that bump up the total cost of your vacation).
Round Up the Family: 5 Reasons to Consider a Cruise for a Multi-Generational Getaway
Summers and holidays are typically when everyone comes together for big family reunions. For those who want to take the show on the road (or the seas), a multigenerational cruise is hard to beat for value and variety. Cruise lines have been focusing on family-style perks, from suite cabins, to enhanced children's activities, to free or reduced fares for youngsters. Here are five reasons to book a cruise for your next trip with your extended family:
We've already taken a look at the most over-the-top suites in Vegas. Now, we're heading out to sea to look at the best cruise ship suites that (a lot of) money can buy.
Note that prices are an estimate and vary depending on itinerary.
Cruise lines are reaching out to solo travelers like never before, with offerings like studio staterooms designed for one person, policies that lower or waive single supplement fees, and onboard meet-and-greets that facilitate new friendships. Here, the guide to solo cruising that our readers have been asking for:
Tens of thousands of vacationers have embraced the idea of meandering along a river in ships that carry 200 people — or less — rather than dealing with crowds aboard the mega-cruise ships that accommodate thousands. The cozier atmosphere of river cruises originally attracted an older clientele, one that looking for cruises that deliver them closer to city centers, serve regional cuisines and locally produced wines, and provide small group excursions. But this mode of travel has grown more mainstream in recent years, beyond the niche market it had begun in.
Need proof of river cruising's popularity? Just take a look at the numbers. The demand for river cruising has grown exponentially in the last 10 years. Viking River Cruises alone added 18 ships in Europe last year and in 2015 will debut another dozen, bringing its fleet to 64 vessels. Other lines such as AMA Waterways, Uniworld, and Avalon Waterways are adding to their fleets as well, albeit at a slower pace. River cruising has also been spreading quickly in Asia and is amping up in the States.
Whether you've already booked your cabins or are still contemplating a future trip, here are five river cruise basics you should know:
River cruising finally seems to be taking off in the States, with sailings along the Mississippi river in the lead. The appeal, once you think about it, isn't difficult to understand — it's relatively easy and cheap to get to the various U.S. departure ports, and there's something romantic and simply American about imagining yourself as a character in a Mark Twain novel. Here, some cruise lines that are reconnecting travelers to the rivers of the nation:
Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that Disney's animated film Frozen has become a global sensation since its release last year. It's currently the highest-grossing animated film of all time, and the demand for film merchandise at Disney Stores led to the implementation of a limit of two items per guest. Guests hoping to meet the film's animated stars, Anna and Elsa, in the Magic Kingdom have reported wait times of three to five hours.
Cashing in on the movie's success, Disney is bringing more Frozen offerings to its parks this year, and even to its Disney Cruise Line and Adventures by Disney vacation company in 2015. Here's what's brewing…
Of all the vacation trip choices out there, cruising appears to have the greatest need to defend itself. Non-cruisers often are misinformed about shipboard life, landlubbers are anxious about the possibility of seasickness, and those who dislike closed spaces will avoid cruise ship cabins — just to name a few. But we think that these "obstacles" shouldn't dissuade consumers from booking a vacation at sea. Here are five cruise myths, debunked:
One of the best parts about taking a river cruise is that your home-away-from-home is docked right in the center of things, giving you the luxury of hopping out and exploring when there's free time. And there will be plenty. Here's how to make the most of it and explore a port town solo.
Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, which has been operating in Europe since May of 2013, is bringing their luxury ship Europa 2 to the United States this coming December. Accommodating 500 passengers in 251 spacious veranda suites, the ship is billed as one of the most luxurious cruises in the world. It offers the largest space-per-passenger ratio in the industry for a once-in-a-lifetime, intimate cruising experience — no closet-sized cabins or 45-minute lines to get to shore here.
But what does this opulent experience include? Here's a look at the costs, amenities, perks, and more. And even better, we've included some information about a great deal on this ship's inaugural sailing.
Sometimes, it seems hardly a week goes by without some negative publicity surrounding a cruise ship. Consumers hear about people falling overboard, getting robbed on an excursion, or experiencing some kind of safety-related incident. But cruise vacations generally are quite safe. Think about it this way: In contemporary cruising, where ships typically carry 3,000 to 5,000 passengers, the vessels are a lot like small cities — where there are thousands of people, there's bound to be crime, but chances are it won't happen to you.
Still, we understand where people might be worried, and when traveling it's always good to have safety be top of mind. Consider these seven guidelines to help make your cruise vacation safe as well as fun.

Long lines and lots of instruments
To record these lower-crustal and upper-mantle phases as "first arrivals", where they are not obscured by the arrival of energy from shallow paths, we use long lines. Long lines mean lots of receivers and lots of driving to deploy and recover these instruments. We could have used lots of sources instead, but the blasts we used to get seismic energy into the lower crust and upper mantle in this experiment take a lot of time and money to setup. Receivers are much cheaper, so we used a lot of them. (For similar wide-angle/long-offset work at sea, airgun sources are cheaper than putting seismometers on the seafloor, so we use many shots and a smaller number of receivers out there.)
This time-lapse video shows Team 13 of 14 recovering 89 of the 1200 total short-period seismograph stations from where our line crossed Fort Benning, near the northwestern end of the line.

Deploy in the rain, recover in the sunshine…
Weather map during deployment. When the time came to install our 1200 small seismographs across Georgia at the flagged positions, the rains came…. A lot of rain. During our first deployment day, we received 1-2 inches of rain, and another wave of rain clouds came through on Day 2 (check out map). Roads that used to be easily passable became mudholes or were flooded with water. All-wheel-drive vehicles and drill rigs alike got stuck, and a few station locations could only be reached on foot. Our hard-working field crew labored in the rain digging holes and deploying seismometers. Vehicles, equipment and people were covered in the famous Georgia red clay (and other muds and sands of Georgia and northernmost Florida). Adding insult to injury, problems with the programming of some of the instruments meant that we actually had to pick up and redeploy many of them. It was a mudbath. Nonetheless, our field crew managed to deploy 1200 seismometers across Georgia by Tuesday at sundown. It was an impressive show of endurance, and an inspiring display of positivity given the number of people that were still smiling and upbeat at the end of it all. A couple of days later, after our seismic shots, it was already time to pick up the instruments, and the weather changed completely. The sun shined on SW Georgia, and we picked up almost every last seismometer in just one day under blue skies…. Donna Shillington, LDEO

Video of shots L1-05, 06, 07 and 08
To someone who hasn't seen a seismic source shot before, there really isn't a good way to describe what a good shot feels like, except as something you haven't felt before. We had a number of students watching L1-05 being shot, since this location is quite close to Americus. The video of L1-05 is completely lacking in drama, which is a good thing; but that shot gave us all a great ride. The 100 pounders 06 and 07 were also surprisingly good.
We made gathers for most of the shots today. The dataset is fantastic, and 05, 06 and 07 produced super record sections. L1-08 committed most if its energy to the air, but it shook the ground nicely and I've got a feeling those data are going to be great too.
The video is here: http://youtu.be/DNINWj2kf1s
Sea Change
Gliders and buoys and robots — oh my!
Over and through the ocean they fly.
Oodles of data from sensors galore,
Studied by many, far from the sea's roar.
A real revolution, there seems little doubt,
But what of the crew who never sail out?
To peer in the great briny main without drinking …
How might that impact the next wave of thinking?

Random Pictures from the Road (and otherwise)
South-central part of the seismic line. The yellow line is team 5's section. We have been in a relatively rural part of Georgia and as a result have not encountered many locals save a few who have stopped to ask if we are ok. However, we have seen quite a few interesting things that are quite out of the ordinary (to me at least).
Friendly Muscovy duck.Rocks in a stream bed with associated pink spongy material (?)
Spanish moss.Linguoid (current) ripples on a washed out road. We have also seen quite a few old abandoned farm houses in various stages of aging...
At least 10-15 dogs were standing guard at this house, including about 8 puppies.
Caroline making some new friends.
All said we have dug 122 holes in team 5's stretch. We have also helped deploy instruments in other sections as well and while doing so have seen others hard at work.
Meghan and Nate getting it done!Along the way the cars have taken quite a beating and have actually held up pretty well. Although there have been a few instances where people got stuck, I think that the people with the toughest job will be the guys that have to detail the cars upon their return...
A more appropriate vehicle (?)And lastly here's a couple more random pictures that I thought were interesting.
The large disparity in fuel grade gas prices.
A ~perfectly leveled geophone (it's harder than you'd think).Hopefully this random selection of pictures was entertaining. Up next we will post about last night's "shots." In the meantime, I can say that they were all successful with varying degrees of excitement. The most important thing is that all of our hard work is being realized as the instruments are recording refractions from buried geology that will help us unravel some of the mystery that surrounds events that happened in this area long ago.

Each pair of field assistants was given a segment of the seismic line to drive and flag locations for instrument installation deemed safe both from the seismograph (i.e. dry, firm soil) and the install team (i.e. a safe distance from the road). Given the shear distance of the seismic line, teams found themselves amid diverse backdrops from rolling farmland with overly friendly cows to buzzing residential neighborhoods to sandy stretches flanked by towering groves of Ponderosa Pine trees.

seismograph will be installed amid the sandy surroundings of a Ponderosa Pine farm.Every team was able to flag all their sites within just two days leaving us the luxury of a sunny Saturday morning free for exploring more of our beautiful Georgia surroundings. Next up is the actual task of installing the 1200 seismographs which will involve twice the people, six more (temporarily clean) vehicles, and of course countless exciting adventures from the field.

The Dawn of Plate Tectonics
An ancient grain of zircon found
In Jack Hill sandstone north of Perth,
Inside its crystal lattice bound:
Secrets of our planet's birth.
The oldest grain (we rock hounds swoon),
Tells of magma oceans past,
An early impact yields the moon;
And all of this occurred so fast!
The zircon's old, which then implies
That solid rocks must be still older.
In Canada, a sequence lies,
With implications even bolder!
A pattern locked within old lava
Echoes patterns from the deep;
Mariana-like subduction …
To plate tectonics, take the leap!
Hadean times are cloaked in intrigue,
Eons distant, full of strife,
Yet it seems these rocks held promise,
Full of boron, primed for life!

|No. 23 Texas Tech tries to erase worst loss ever
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 15 November 2012 23:11
The Red Raiders (7-3, 4-3 Big 12) hit rock bottom during Tuberville's first season with a 66-6 loss to the Cowboys, the most lopsided defeat in the program's history.
Quarterback Seth Doege called it ``an embarrassment.'' Safety D.J. Johnson says even in his worst nightmares, he never dreamt of getting beat like that.
Even the holdovers for Oklahoma State (6-3, 4-2) say it took a perfect storm to go up 35-0 after one quarter and 49-0- by halftime.
OSU defensive coordinator Bill Young called it a ``million to one'' shot and unlikely to happen again.

Somehow your post never made it to my email, so this is the first time I have seen it. I have not been actively searching for the De Herrera family (my husbands line) but thought I would pick up the task again. If you are still in possession of your sis in laws book, would like a lookup for the following.
Ursula "Lula" De Herrera b. Sept 25 1915 CO
and her Father Daniel DeHerrera no dates known. I am looking for a Ute Indian connection to these two as family history tells that Lula was Ute Indian (tho could be thru her maternal source. She was supposed to have been born on the Southern Ute REservation in Colorado. But the birth date and place of CO are correct as this was gleaned thru death info on rootsweb.
Thank you
