Northeast blizzard shuts down businesses, transport by Fortune Editors @FortuneMagazine January 27, 2015, 7:24 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons A blizzard that has dropped more than a foot (30 cm) of snow across the northeastern United States has snarled traffic and transportation, and has led to the cancellation of more than 4,500 flights at U.S. airports, according to FlightAware.com. The snowfall, which affected up to 60 million people in nearly a dozen states, fell short of the massive predicted storm for the region. Forecasts for as much as 3 feet (90 cm) of snow had prompted governors in eight East Coast states to close schools, order travel bans and declare states of emergency. Residents largely obeyed orders to stay off roadways and broadcasters in New York and Boston showed roads largely free of cars early on Tuesday. Transit systems in the region were shut down on Monday, but New York's subway service is expected to resume Tuesday morning. With railway systems serving the suburbs largely shut down, many employees are expected to work from home. Sustained winds in the area might hit 40 miles per hour (64 kph), though gusts as high as 78 mph (126 kph) were recorded on the island of Nantucket, off Massachusetts. High winds and heavy snow were set to persist throughout the day, with another foot forecast to fall in parts of Boston. Wind-driven seas caused flooding along some low-lying roadways in coastal Massachusetts, state police said. The heaviest snowfall was recorded in parts of Connecticut and Massachusetts, while New York City's Central Park saw just 6 inches (15 cm), less than a quarter of the "historic" snowfall that some meteorologists had predicted. "When you hear the word 'crippling' and you look out your window this morning, it is not there," said John Davitt, a meterologist on New York's NY1 news channel. Travel was still snarled, with more than 4,500 flights canceled at U.S. airports, according to FlightAware.com, and no trains or buses in New York, Boston or New Jersey. Stock exchanges, including Intercontinental Exchange Inc's New York Stock Exchange unit, Nasdaq OMX Group, and BATS Global Markets, said they expected to stay open for normal operating hours on Tuesday. The last time bad weather closed the stock markets was in October 2012 when Sandy hit the East Coast with flooding, punishing winds and widespread power outages. The brutal weather paralyzed the New York City metropolitan area, with a shutdown of all subway, bus and commuter rail services on Metro-North Railroad and Long Island Rail Road. It was the first time the city subway had been halted due to snow. New Jersey Transit and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority also suspended bus, rail and other services would also be suspended on Tuesday. Coastal flood warnings were issued from Delaware to Maine, and National Weather Service officials in Boston reported early on Tuesday that waves just a few miles outside of Boston Harbor approached 20 feet (6 meters). Amtrak suspended rail services between New York and Boston, and into New York State, Vermont, Massachusetts and Maine. The biggest snowfall on record in New York City was during the storm of Feb. 11-12, 2006, when 26.9 inches (68 cm) fell, according to the city's Office of Emergency Management. —Reuters contributed to this report.
5 sweet international destinations where strong dollars mean cheaper vacations by Fortune Editors @FortuneMagazine January 24, 2015, 9:01 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons A swanky room overlooking a sunny piazza in Rome costs a lot less this year. So does sipping espresso, nibbling on croissants, and dinning on steak frites in Parisian cafes. Favorable currency exchange rates are making overseas travel far more affordable for Americans. Depending on the country, hotels, restaurants and shopping may be anywhere from 15% to 50% cheaper now than this time last year. You can thank sputtering overseas economies for the more tourist-friendly prices. In the ever-changing currency markets, the U.S. dollar is once again in demand. Of course, it's welcome news for anyone who is planning an overseas trip. Some people who've been unable to afford international travel may finally be able take that dream vacation. "It definitely has an impact, and yes, it does encourage people who are on the fence," said Andi McClure-Mysza, co-president of Montrose Travel, a travel agency in Montrose, Calif., near Los Angeles, that books more than $280 million in travel annually. Customers routinely bring up exchange rates in planning their trips and deciding where to go, she said. Getting a $5,000 vacation for $4,000, when taking into account potential savings, can be a powerful lure. Currency rates don't affect airline ticket prices, which happen to be relatively high at the moment. But they can mean savings on what visitors spend their money on after arriving. Keep in mind that package tours don't necessarily take fluctuations in currencies into account. It depends on the operator and the contracts it cuts with hotel, restaurants and ground transportation suppliers. Through the first 10 months of 2014, U.S. citizens made 57 million international trips, or 9.6% more than during the same period a year earlier. A buzzing U.S. economy – and those exchange rates – means more growth is likely in 2015. Here are a few destinations where exchange rates will make your dollars stretch a lot further.
Expedia is buying Travelocity for $280 million by Fortune Editors @FortuneMagazine January 23, 2015, 10:42 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Two major travel sites are about to be under the same corporate umbrella. Expedia EXPE will be purchasing rival Travelocity for $280 million in cash. The two sites have been working together since 2013, when they signed a marketing agreement allowing Travelocity access to Expedia's supply and customer service program in exchange for Expedia powering the technology platforms for Travelocity's websites in the US and Canada. Travelocity is currently owned by travel technology company Sabre SABR . Sabre also owns Sabre Airline Solutions, Sabre Travel Network, and the Sabre Hospitality Network. Expedia's brand portfolio includes the popular Expedia.com, plus other properties including Hotels.com and Hotwire.com. More deals could be coming in the online travel booking arena. Orbitz OWW is said to be actively looking for a buyer.
Startup SendMyBag launching a domestic U.S. service by Fortune Editors @FortuneMagazine January 21, 2015, 2:59 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Starting sometime in the first quarter of this year, U.S. airline passengers will have a new option to avoid waiting in line at baggage carousels. SendMyBag, a Northern Irish startup launched in 2011, is adding U.S. domestic flights to its list of services. Currently, American flyers can only use the door-to-door baggage delivery company when flying to another country. Here's how the service works: Users pay a base fee for luggage of any size, but they pay extra if they go over a specified weight limit (a small fee per pound that's assessed during the transaction), rather than the sometimes large fees charged by airlines. SendMyBag picks up your luggage at your home and delivers it to your destination, whether that's a hotel or another private residence. Company's founder and CEO Adam Ewart is looking to profit from a growing pain point for U.S. travelers. He recently told TechCrunch that he thinks baggage fees in the U.S. will soon reach $4 billion a year, up from $400 million a few years ago. SendMyBag already offers a domestic service in the U.K. and some European countries. It also flies bags around the EU and to countries such as Australia, Brazil and China. In the 15 months prior to opening its U.S. office last year, SendMyBag shipped 100,000 pieces of luggage, according to Ewart. Adding a domestic U.S. service to its menu of options will allow SendMyBag to go after customers on low-cost carriers that don't offer a free checked bag, Ewart said. He noted that JetBlue JBLU announced late last year a new tiered ticketing system where the lowest tier doesn't offer any free checked bags. That's different from the transatlantic flights SendMyBag currently services out of the U.S., where at least one free checked bag is still generally offered; customers who use SendMyBag on the way out of the U.S. are generally just looking for the convenience of being able to avoid baggage claim, he said. When the new service is launched in the next month or so, the base price will be $45 for a small or medium suitcase, Ewart said.
Southwest to pay record $1.6 million fine for airplane delays by Fortune Editors @FortuneMagazine January 15, 2015, 7:45 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons This post is in partnership with Time. The article below was originally published at Time.com. By Eliana Dockterman, TIME The Transportation Department has fined Southwest Airlines LUV a record $1.6 million for delays involving 16 aircraft at Chicago's Midway Airport last January. The airline was penalized for violating tarmac rules and forcing passengers to sit in planes on the tarmac during the delays. Tarmac rules stipulate that airlines must offer passengers the chance to deplane within three hours of arrival, but Southwest did not offer their customers that opportunity. "Airline passengers have rights, and the Department's tarmac delay rules are meant to prevent passengers from being stuck on an aircraft on the ground for hours on end," U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said in a release. The department added that Southwest's violation of the rules caused even more plane delays for other airlines, hence the large fine. The federal government began cracking down on tarmac waits in August 2010, imposing fines of as much as $27,500 per passenger for delays longer than three hours. American Eagle Airlines was fined $900,000 the following May.
Business travelers are expensing more Uber rides than ever by Fortune Editors @FortuneMagazine January 15, 2015, 12:50 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons This post is in partnership with Entrepreneur. The article below was originally published at Entrepreneur.com. By Kate Taylor, Entrepreneur.com Business travelers are now relying on – and expensing – Uber more than ever. Uber accounted for a full 5 percent of general expenses in the fourth quarter of 2014, according to a new report analyzing millions of receipts from travel and expense management software provider Certify. General expenses encompass everything from gas to WiFi, and made up almost half of all business expenses in the fourth quarter. The figure is even more impressive due to its swift rise from a (still sizeable) 3 percent of the general expense category in the previous quarter. Certify posits that beyond taxis, Uber may now also be posing a threat to rental-car companies. In the last quarter, Uber was expensed more than twice as often than National, the most-frequently expensed care rental company which accounts for 23 percent of all car-rental services. Other brands that stood out in Certify's study of business expenses via millions of receipts and expenses from end users: Starbucks, which accounted for almost 5 percent of all food expenses and Delta, which accounted for 20 percent of airlines expenses.

You're probably taking more business trips this year by Fortune Editors @FortuneMagazine January 13, 2015, 12:34 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons If you travel a lot for business, you might be racking up a lot more miles in the air in 2015. Business travel spending is expected to increase 6.2% this year, according to an annual report released Tuesday by the Global Business Travel Association, a trade group for the corporate travel industry. "This is especially important, given that US business travel spending is a good indicator for the direction of the U.S. economy," the GBTA said in a statement. The report comes just days after a series of terror attacks in Paris that threatens travel to Europe, a hot spot for tourists and business travelers alike. However, Fortune spoke with a variety of travel experts who suggested that any impact wouldn't last for long and that business would essentially continue as usual thereafter. The association expects the volume of trips globally to increase 1.7% this year to 490.4 million trips in 2015. There were an estimated 482.4 million trips in 2014, a 1.4% growth over the previous year. Last year saw a 6% increase in business travel spending, a welcome sign after the recent struggle during the financial downturn. The report called 2014 a "comeback year for international outbound business travel" after a meager 1.1% increase in 2013 and a 1% decline a year earlier. The report predicted, too, that steeply declining oil prices could be a boon for the travel industry in 2015 because of potentially cheaper airfares. "Oil prices have plunged since June, creating favorable conditions," according to the GBTA. Also helping to drive an expected increase in travel is an improving U.S. economy and greater profits for business in 2015. The more growth and profits, of course, the more travel. Additionally, the U.S. dollar is gaining strength, while the global economy remains weak, according to the report. "By way of a small silver lining, however, a rising dollar also makes international outbound business travel less expensive."
Will travelers cross France off their list after Paris attack? by Fortune Editors @FortuneMagazine January 10, 2015, 6:31 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Images of shootings, manhunts and hostage stand-offs in Paris this week replaced the usual picture postcard views of the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Seine. France's tourism industry may be another victim. As is the case following almost all high-profile terrorist attacks, some would-be visitors may stay clear. "There's a lot at stake," said Luke Bujarski, the director of research at Phocuswright, a firm that specializes in research about travel, tourism and hospitality. France is a prime destination for U.S. travelers. The country accounted for 19.9% of all American trips to Europe in 2013, second only to the United Kingdom with 26.3%, according to a Commerce Department report. Tourism generates around 7% of France's gross domestic product, or nearly $200 billion in spending annually, based on data from the World Bank and the French foreign affairs and international development ministry. More people visited France in 2013 – 84.7 million – than the United States, which had 69.8 million visitors, The Telegraph said. How much of an impact there will be is unclear. The attacks – which included a dozen murdered at the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine along with several hostages killed during raids that left the chief suspects and an ally dead – certainly tarnished the country's image for safety. Travel agents and analysts expect that some people will cancel trips to France or check the country off their list this year. Bujarski pointed out that ramped up security by the French government may make it more difficult for tourists to enjoy the country. High-profile locations such as museums are almost guaranteed to get extra police and tougher screening. The result may be more "congestion" and "inconvenience" that's off-putting to those who visit France in the future, he said. Laura Rodriguez, a director with American Society of Travel Agents, told Fortune that visitors to regions with a history of violence should take safety precautions and make use of the expertise of tour guides. She added that travelers should stay aware of their surroundings and buy travel insurance so they can be reimbursed if they have to cancel their trip because of dangerous events on the ground. Rodriguez, who is also owner of Marina Tours and Travel in Phoenix, which specializes in tour group vacations to France, said she wouldn't want to scare her customers. "Things like this could happen in any part of the world," she said. "And let us hope things don't happen again." Mike McCormick, the executive director of the Global Business Travel Association, which represents the corporate travel industry, explained that businesses post-9/11 have had a "wake-up call" in terms of how protective they are of employees who travel abroad. In 2013, business travelers spent $35 billion dollars on travel in France, marking three years of negative growth, according to a Global Business Travel Association report. But it said corporate travel spending was expected to start rising again, to $37 billion in 2014. "My expectation is that largely it would be the same," McCormick said about the attacks' impact on business travel to Europe and France, specifically. "Leisure tends to be a little more reactive to situations, for sure." He continued: "But the other thing that I think that has happened is there's a resilence and awareness that wasn't there before. Ultimately, we are very aware now of happenings in every part of the world. I think there's just much more of an understanding."
What horses can teach us about leadership by Fortune Editors @FortuneMagazine January 6, 2015, 6:05 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons In fewer than 10 minutes, I had become a horse whisperer. "You're having a good conversation!" Sheryl Jordan yelled to me from outside a metal fence that enclosed Gent and me. I looked Gent in the eye and at that moment, I knew he understood. Salamander Resort & Spa opened last year on 340 acres in the heart of horse country—Middleburg, Va.—just an hour outside Washington, D.C. The property is owned by BET co-founder Sheila Johnson, who is opening a similar resort in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains next year. I had heard about the resort and its equestrian center, but it wasn't until I began looking at the impressive lineup of horse-related programming—from traditional carriage rides to nontraditional yoga on horseback—that I considered what I could learn from a horse. So I signed up for two hours with Jordan, the equestrian director, for what she calls Equi-Spective ($125 per hour), a personal discovery that helps people learn more about their communication and leadership style by connecting with horses. I didn't know exactly what to expect, but I'm always eager to spend time in rural Virginia. Plus, I noticed that the spa offered a Riders' Relief massage ($150-$230), so if things turned bad with the horse, I figured I could always find my way to the spa. (The fact that this particular program didn't require any horse-riding was inconsequential to my backup plan.) So I left Washington, D. C., on a drizzly morning in December, donning long underwear and Carhartt work pants. As I neared the resort, I passed wineries, polo fields, a bird sanctuary and a rabbit-shaped mailbox. At the resort, I walked into the beautiful barn – which still looked brand-new and smelled like freshly cut pine. With only the faintest whiff of horsey aroma, it doubles as a rehearsal dinner venue. It may be unique among equestrian centers, with bathrooms that have monogrammed disposable towels and lavender hand lotion. Jordan walked out—wearing jeans and a rhinestone "S" baseball cap—and offered a warm handshake. She had suggested postponing our session because of the weather, but I wasn't sure when I'd be able to return. I thanked her for being flexible. "The horses teach you to be flexible," she said. "You go with the flow." To escape the rain, we spent the first hour in a small meeting room with a picture of a fox hunt on the wall. Jordan explained that she created the Equi-Spective program because after decades working with horses, she found herself teaching life lessons as well as riding lessons. "Horses take us on many journeys," she said. "They take us from point A to point B, but they also take us on deeper emotional journeys." At Salamander, Jordan has worked with executives, high-risk youth and domestic abuse counselors. Some people are intimidated by horses (they are, after all, 1,200 to 1,500-pound animals); others are awed by their beauty and power. "No matter who the person is, they are amazed what they learn about themselves from the horses," Jordan said. "Horses don't care who you are, what your title is, how much money you make. They give you honest feedback." She explained to me that these days, the equestrian community is shifting from fear-based leadership (as in "breaking" a horse) to respect-based leadership and said horses react as humans do to intimidating leaders. "They detach," she said. "It's stressful to walk around on eggshells." In order to lead a horse, she explained, you have to listen to the horse: be consistent and clear, and mean it. "You can't let your horse – or your team – push you around. If you do not provide the leadership, the horse will." Jordan asked me to stand and lift my rib cage. "How do you feel," she asked. I took a deep breath. "A little taller – more open," I said. "Horses recognize if your ribs are collapsed," she said. "They read energy and body language. So if I want a horse to come toward me, I will shut down and retract my energy. Buddhism says 50% of your state of mind is posture." Then it was time to meet my match. We walked through the barn and stopped in front of the stable of a horse named Gent – a retired show pony the color of dark brown sugar. By now, it had stopped raining. We left the barn, and Jordan walked Gent into what's called a round pen – used for training horses and establishing leadership; she also calls it the think tank. Inside the pen, Gent began to trot, warming himself up, looking playful. Jordan stood at the center, making smaller circles, and showed me what she calls a flag, a long whip-like pole that she uses to show authority but not to hurt the horse. She barely touched him with it and demonstrated how by changing the direction of the flag, her body position or her speed, she could change the direction Gent was running or his pace. She also seemed to have extraordinary control of him simply by changing her voice. Then, standing in the center, she crouched over, resting her hands on her knees, making herself small – letting down her energy. Amazingly, Gent stopped in his tracks and filled the void, walking toward her. I watched the duo in what looked like a dance – Jordan walking forward, Gent moving back. They were graceful and seemed to sense each other's movements before they happened. And then it was my turn. I was already comfortable with Jordan—she has an easy smile, called me "Honey" and every so often would thoughtfully read from a book of hand-written quotes to emphasize her points. But I wondered, could I really connect with Gent? I walked into the pen and took the flag from Jordan. She reminded me to point it at Gent's hindquarters. He began to trot around the perimeter of the pen while I circled the middle, keeping my eyes focused on his back legs. Jordan left the pen and nudged me along when I needed help—like asking Gent to change directions. I stuttered a few times with my "language" and looked to her for assistance. But mostly, I felt like the horse and I were alone. I slowed, he slowed. I sped up, he followed. And then, I stopped, lowering my head slightly and rounding my shoulders. When I peered up, Gent was approaching me, looking relaxed. I smiled. Jordan said it's possible to become a horse-whisperer—someone who has learned to read a horse's language and communicate back—within five or 10 minutes. Today, we were learning the A, B, Cs, and with further work, she said, I could make words and sentences. Whatever Gent's language, I felt like we had a dialogue, albeit brief. I walked out of the pen. "You were in the zone," Jordan exclaimed. As we walked back to the barn, I thought about how I could use my newfound leadership skills with my employees. Then I remembered that the only employee in my home office is a beagle, and our communication is already pretty solid. But as I left Salamander, I realized that any relationship could benefit from paying more attention to body language. Without sometimes glossing over our true feelings with words, we'd be more true to ourselves and each other; imagine the possibilities! The next adventure, I decided, was getting my beau in the round pen. Salamander Resort & Spa offers equestrian programs for individuals, families, groups and retreats. Horsemanship 101 covers grooming, leading, equine safety and fundamentals of horse behavior. Equine Communication 101 is a short introduction to horse whispering. Equi-Spective allows participants to work hands-on with horses, while learning about their own communication style and leadership techniques. Most programming is $125 per person, per hour.

- 14°/23°
- 12°/25°
The Bega Valley Council on the far south coast has lifted its boil water alert for parts of the shire, after approval from New South Wales Health.
The alert was lifted for people connected to the Bega, Tathra, Kalaru and Mogareeka water supply systems.
People in Bemboka are still advised to boil their water until final test results are analysed tomorrow afternoon.
The council's Environmental Health Co-ordinator, Greg O'Donnell, says people have responded well to the alert triggered by last week's flood water contamination
"Bega Valley Shire Council would really like to extend their gratitude to all the customers that have been affected by this boil water alert," he said.
"It has put a lot of extra pressure on, particularly mums and dads with young children and that, so we're very appreciative of the support of the community in this time."

My graphite pencil drawing of Fingle Bridge, an Old Stone Packhorse Bridge in Dartmoor National Park, England.
4765 – views on 17/12/2014No image may be reproduced, copied, edited, published, or uploaded without my permission.
In the 1990s I was lucky enough to live in Devon and for several years made a weekly trip to the Dartmoor National Park. My visits were made all-year-round and since the weather can make Dartmoor unsafe, I always carried a tent and survival equipment. Maybe because of my well equipped pack I often extended my trip to include an overnight stay.
Digital painting in yellow & gold
The park is filled with wonders and history and includes some ancient stone bridges like my graphite pencil drawing of Fingle's Bridge, which is viewed from the Fingle Inn in Autumn.
The bridge is a granite, narrow, pack-horse bridge and in 1665 was reported to be in a bad state of repair.
The bridge is now in good order but care must be taken if driving a car over the bridge in order to avoid getting 'stuck'.
In 1895 John Lloyd Page wrote:
"How clear the rushing waters gliding beneath the grey arches! how rich in colouring have the lichens and ferns rendered its hoary walls! and, whether we look up-stream to the hills, softly meeting one another with foliage changing from bright green in the foreground to misty blue in the distance, or downward to where the old mill with its moss-grown water-wheel, nestles beneath the woods, and Prestonbury rises mountainous over all, we shall confess that a scene of greater beauty it has never been our lot to view".

Guys some of your posts are getting a little out of hand. Posting what strategies you may want to use to counter the Leaders and other Trainers is perfectly fine, but to discuss what type of battle (i.e. triple, double, single) is a bit too off topic on this thread. Though you may be discussing it because this feature has those types of battles included, talking about the individual type of battle has nothing to do with the Pokemon World Tournament. So please, keep on topic here not only in this thread, but in the entire Black 2 and White 2 forum.
The Rentals option in the PWT is amazing. I'm mad that they don't include Jellicent in the Masters collection of possible Pokemon, but I'm happy to see a lot of different, interesting Pokemon as well. I'm hoping to get an Eelektross on my team. I also love how competitive they've made this in-game option to be. Some of the movesets of the Pokemon are outrageous.

text: BACKING BIOTECHNOLOGY Europeans disapprove more than Americans of genetically modified food, but less of genetic testing, according to a study by George Gaskell of the London School of Economics and colleagues, published in this week's issue of Science. Although consumer surveys conducted in 1996-1997 show some transatlantic differences, Americans and Europeans were equally opposed to xenotransplantation (the swapping of organs from one species to another), but generally in favour of biotechnology to develop medicines. The authors argue that Europe's more jaundiced view of agricultural biotechnology results from lower trust in regulators (particularly after mad-cow disease), more press coverage and a sketchier understanding of genetic engineering.

RIPTON — Vermont State Police cited Sergei Draper, 22, of Ripton, for burglary, following investigation of a reported break-in at a home on the Lincoln Road in Ripton on Thursday, Feb. 6.
ADDISON COUNTY — The Vermont State Police, with the assistance of the Addison County Sheriff's Department, Vergennes Police Department and the Vermont Fish and Game wardens, conducted an Addison County-wide warrant sweep on Monday.
State Police located two people — Jason Kimball, 45, of Leicester and Cory Munnett, 36, of Shoreham — wanted for escape from the Department of Corrections, and one person — Lorianne Urban, 28, of Lincoln — for a bad check.
ADDISON COUNTY — Slippery road conditions in the county late last week contributed to a number of traffic crashes.
Vermont State Police noted that Route 7 was icing as it was snowing on Jan. 10 at around 8:30 a.m. when an Acura MDX rear-ended a Ford box truck on that highway in Ferrisburgh near Round Barn Road.
MONKTON — Vermont State Police are investigating a rash of thefts across two counties in the early hours of Jan. 13 that targeted both homes and vehicles.
Police believe the three burglaries and five larcenies that occurred in the towns of Charlotte and Monkton are related.
ADDISON COUNTY — A Starksboro woman was killed in a one-car crash on Big Hollow Road in Starksboro on Sunday morning.
Vermont State Police reported that Stephanie D. Patsos, 23, was driving a 2001 Saturn SL on Big Hollow Road around 11:20 a.m. when the car traveled left of center and down an embankment on the south side of the roadway.
Patsos, who was not wearing a seat belt, was partially ejected from the vehicle in the crash, police reported, and she succumbed to her injuries at the scene.
ADDISON COUNTY — Vermont State Police on Christmas Eve cited a Brandon man for embezzlement.
Troopers reported that Andrew Grandchamp, 52, of Brandon was working at the Rosen Berger salvage yard in Rutland when he allegedly falsified the weight of scrap metal presented by Robert Withington, 42, of Rutland. Police alleged that in return for this Withington gave Grandchamp a pack of cigarettes.
ADDISON COUNTY — Vermont State Police responded to several traffic crashes last week. The only one reported locally that involved more than one car occurred on Monday when troopers went to the scene of a two-car crash on Route 116 in Starksboro.
ADDISON COUNTY — Vermont State Police are investigating the theft of approximately 12 Christmas trees from Green Haven Nursery in New Haven.
The Route 7 business recently had 500 Christmas trees delivered and they reported that approximately 12 were stolen overnight between Dec. 4 and 5. The value of each tree is approximately $40.
The trooper recommended that the property owner use game cameras in an effort to obtain photographic evidence on those stealing the Christmas trees.
ADDISON COUNTY — On Monday Vermont State Police wrapped up a week-long investigation of a Nov. 14 burglary in Goshen and troopers arrested Scott H. Clark, 30, of Goshen and cited him for burglary.
Troopers from the New Haven barracks said their investigation revealed that Clark entered the unsecured residence in Goshen and allegedly stole property, including the victims' travelers checks and a 65-year-old engagement ring worth more than $6,000. Police alleged that Clark subsequently pawned the ring in Rutland for $200.

Concert to honor Spielberg, Rock Ventures execs
The familiar scores of Hollywood movies including "Jaws," "Star Wars" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" will fill Orchestra Hall for one night in June, under the direction of composer John Williams, who will be joined by Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg. Plus, two Detroit business "leading conductors" will be honored.
The Detroit Symphony Orchestra is hosting the famous Hollywood luminaries for a June 14 fundraising concert, which will be followed by its Heroes Gala Dinner honoring Rock Ventures Chairman Dan Gilbert and President and CEO Matt Cullen for their support of the orchestra and Detroit as a whole.
Gilbert and Cullen assisted in the mediation process between the DSO and its musicians in 2011, arranged the orchestra's 2012 Kid Rock concert, which raised $1 million, and are "generous contributors" to the orchestra.
Tickets to the events go on sale April 14 at www.dso.org.
The gala, which includes entrance to the concert, will cost $500 to $10,000, while tickets to the concert alone will range from $50 to $250.

Edited by Catherine D. DeAngelis, MD, MPH
Data from annual surveys of undergraduate and graduate medical education programs conducted by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, the American Medical Association, and the Association of American Medical Colleges are summarized in this issue of JAMA. First, Barzansky and EtzelArticlereport that in comparison with data from 1993-1994, medical school enrollment is similar while the number of full-time faculty has increased and appointment of a senior administrator with broad responsibilities for medical education is commonplace. In the second article, Brotherton and colleaguesArticlereport trends in residency training and career choices, with a particular focus on women, and programs addressing cultural competence and complementary/alternative medicine.
Efforts to improve the quality of medical care are often systems-based and few have considered the role of physician certification in quality improvement. Brennan and colleagues review the evidence and theory relating to physician board certification status and measures of physician competence, clinical outcomes, and error prevention and find support for the hypothesis that certification and maintenance of certification will improve quality. They also report results of a national poll assessing public views on physician certification, which found that certification and frequent reevaluation of skills and competencies to maintain certification are highly valued by the public.
Clinical medicine is becoming increasingly evidence-based, but rigorous and generalizable data to substantiate the effectiveness of medical education programs are limited. Carney and colleagues review the application of standard, population-based epidemiologic research designs to test hypotheses about medical education outcomes. They also outline 3 essential elements—an existing infrastructure, institutional motivation, and a national commitment that includes increased funding—necessary for a strong educational epidemiologic research endeavor.
Studies of prognosis following breast cancer suggest that women whose cancer was found by mammography screening have a better prognosis than women whose tumors were found outside of screening or between mammography screening rounds. However, the mode of detection is not currently a factor in determining the need for systemic adjuvant therapy. Joensuu and colleaguesArticleexamined the risk of recurrence and survival among Finnish women whose breast tumors were detected by mammography screening compared with women whose tumors were found by other methods. They found a significantly increased risk of recurrence in women whose tumors were found other than by mammography screening, and method of detection was found to be an independent predictor of distant disease-free survival and overall survival. In an editorial,ArticleO'Regan discusses the potential value of these results to identify women who will benefit most from systemic adjuvant therapy.

Motorola, through its Feedback Network, has indicated that it is readying a "new Jelly Bean software release" for the Droid RAZR and RAZR MAXX on Verizon, asking participants – as usual – to test the waters before the release is made final. We know that the RAZR/MAXX duo are set to get a 4.1 update in "Q1 2013" from Motorola's own update schedule, so the following email (sent to members of Moto's feedback network) is a good sign that things are on track.

Bringing to market a simplistic, clean take on the puzzler genre, Appxplore released Sporos today. The concept behind Sporos is simple: place sporos (which, by the way, is some sort of "special seed") on the board, watch the adjacent rows or columns light up, and repeat until every cell on the board is illuminated.
Seems easy, right? It would be, except that the levels get progressively harder, with more complex cell patterns, and you've only got a certain number of sporos to work with, each able to light up a certain set of directions.
We don't often cover Kickstarter campaigns – after all, the platform is flooded with entries that may not be worth mentioning, or are dead on arrival. Sometimes, though, a gadget comes through that exceeds expectations, and the myIDkey is one of those.
myIDkey is a voice-activated secure USB drive that manages your passwords. Across all devices. Oh, and it has a fingerprint scanner. The project has absolutely demolished its $150,000 funding goal, reaching (at the time of writing) $164,126 with twenty seven days left to go.
Popular beta testing platform TestFlight has officially announced its arrival to Android in private beta form, in a post to the TestFlight blog. If you're wondering how popular TestFlight really is, the same post should provide some reference: the service has been trusted with smoothing the process of beta app deployment for over 300,000 iOS apps. Needless to say, its expansion to Android is big news.
Of course, Android already has HockeyApp.net, and the Play Store offers private app deployment, TestFlight provides the ingredients for an impressively sleek beta testing process with secure deployment, tracking, and – perhaps best of all – centralized feedback.
Did you know that, since the last update to Google Search, developers have been able to utilize offline voice recognition? Previously, any non-system app that wasn't an IME (Input Method Editor) that hoped to recognize your voice without a web connection needed a rather kludgy typing overlay. Since the update though, apps can hear and interpret not just your words, but essentially any command that doesn't explicitly require web access.
Last summer, we saw the launch of Tweet Lanes – a beautiful, functional Twitter app that – due to Twitter's reformed API – ceased active development just a few months ago. Today, Chris Lacy has issued a "further update" on the status of development, writing in a post to Google+ "just because I am no longer actively developing Tweet Lanes doesn't mean that development of the app has to stop."
Yes, after "countless requests" to do so (and an offer to sell), Lacy has taken the project open source – opening up the TL client itself, its SocialNetLib library, and its associated AppEngine project.
Remember that little diagonal arrow that used to appear next to suggestions in the Google Search box as you typed? The arrows could be used to insert suggestions into the search bar, while you kept typing away. For a while now, though, the arrows have been missing from Google Search. Those that want that feature back are in luck, however – astute Redditor Foxsbiscuits notes that a simple long-press will fling search suggestions into the search bar, providing essentially the same functionality with a slightly more discreet UI.
Update: Over the course of the evening, ROM Manager was updated yet again, to version 22.214.171.124 - this time adding support for the TWRP recovery, which is undoubtedly a feature many users have been wanting for some time. Just update ROM Manager in the Play Store and you'll have it.
ROM Manager, one of the most useful and versatile tools available for a consummate ROM-flasher, got an update today, bringing the app up to version 184.108.40.206.
Last month, we saw Motorola's Droid Razr Maxx HD offered up for $99.99 on Amazon for new accounts only. If you're already a Verizon subscriber who's looking to instead upgrade to the Maxx HD, you're in luck – it looks like Amazon has extended the offer to upgrade customers as well. For reference, Amazon's price puts the phone a full $200 below Verizon's own price.
Just in case you've forgotten, the Droid Razr Maxx HD packs a 4.7" 720x1280 display (that's 312ppi), 8MP camera, dual-core 1.5GHz processor, and 1GB RAM.

text: Hoxton Gin takes the classic juniper-driven character of gin and adds something exotic: distilled with coconut and grapefruit, it is uniquely smooth and rounded, opening up a whole new world of possibilities. It reinvigorates such standards as the G&T, and an additional dash of grapefruit juice transforms this classic. But it is so fine, theres no need to dress it up: try the Naked Martini simply serve the gin straight from the freezer into an ice cold martini glass..

A federal judge Wednesday approved legal settlements set to return more than $6.13 billion to investors who suffered losses in the massive WorldCom Inc. accounting fraud.
The deals, approved by U.S. District Judge Denise Cote, would divide payments among about 830,000 people and institutions that held stocks or bonds in the telecommunications company around the time of its collapse in 2002.
Lawyers involved in the case said many investors would be getting back only a fraction of what they lost in the company's collapse.
John P. Coffey, a lawyer for the investors, said payouts were unlikely to begin before next summer because it would take that long to determine how much money each claim is worth.

When the Chula Vista Elementary School District south of San Diego surveyed the physical condition of the 25,000 students enrolled in 2010, the results were worrisome. About 40 percent of the kids were at an unhealthy weight – with the highest rates among fifth and sixth graders. The survey prompted the district to act. The schools overhauled their menus, banned birthday cupcakes, integrated movement into recess and the classroom, and focused on educating students about better nutrition in the neighborhoods where obesity rates were highest. By the time the survey was repeated this year, the programs put in place had had an impact, according to Sharon Hillidge, resource teacher for wellness. Body mass indexes were down 3 percent and fitness levels had improved.
Leafy green vegetables, Brussels sprouts, beets and leeks aren't typically the kinds of foods available at food banks. Fresh foods are hard to salvage for people in need, even though perfectly edible produce that doesn't meet grocery store standards is often left to rot in the fields. But a Salinas organization, Ag Against Hunger, has developed some innovative methods for distributing fresh produce to food banks.
At Fresno's Susan B. Anthony grade school, located in one of the most impoverished area of Fresno, 78 percent of fifth graders don't meet the state's requirements for healthy fitness. Fresno pastor Mike Slayden decided to tackle the problem by encouraging students to walk or bike to school. Through his not-for-profit, he offers them a shiny prize for their work: a brand new bike.
The latest look at obesity and diabetes trends in California from the UCLA Center on Health Policy Research shows how closely the twin maladies are tied to income and education levels. The poor are more likely to be obese and have diabetes than more affluent Californians, and people without a high school education are two times as likely to be obese and three times more likely to have diabetes than college graduates. The report suggests that environmental factors play a big role in driving these numbers.
Childhood obesity rates in California are showing signs of leveling off or even declining among some adolescents, a new study led by UC San Francisco researchers has found. But the rates continue to climb for some ethnic and racial groups, and the worst cases are as numerous, and as serious, as ever.
A record number of US adults are now obese, with 2 million more people crossing that unhealthy weight threshold between 2007 and 2009, according to new numbers released by the US Centers for Disease Control. California's obesity rate is 24.8 percent, which is below the US average but higher than 16 other states.
On a recent trip to Washington, DC, I decided to test my belief that walking is an important way to promote weight loss and healthy lifestyles by doing as much walking as possible in our nation's capital. I decided to keep track of my efforts and see just how easy it was to stay physically active while on a highly scheduled two-day business trip.
The state Senate has approved a bill to ban the sale of sugar-sweetened sport drinks in the public schools during school hours. The bill would tighten a restriction that already forbids the sale of soft drinks but did not include electrolyte replacement beverages in the ban.
California advocates for women and children are making a major push for breastfeeding and laying the groundwork for proposals in the Legislature that could require hospitals that deliver babies to reduce the number of newborns fed with bottled formula.
The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors has given tentative approval to an ordinance that would restrict the ability of restaurants to use toys or other incentives to entice children into eating meals that are high in fat, sugar, and calories. The ordinance is believed to be the first of its kind in the United States.

Three Feathers and a Silver Fern: An Off-field History of the Wales-All Blacks Fixtures (Paperback)
Format: | Paperback |

in the UK
From the first match between Wales and New Zealand in 1905 to November 2012, a mutual bond of rivalry and respect has developed between the two countries, both having a passion for rugby. In this book the author documents the history of all the matches played but contrary to other histories it shifts the focus from the nitty-gritty of play to the delights and curiosities of off-field actions, obligations and functions, drawing our attention to this often-overlooked aspect of a tour. From forgotten facts unearthed in old, dusty newspapers to the fresh anecdotes and recollections of modern day 'greats' - both All Black and Welsh - Roger Penn provides us with an unorthodox and stimulating look at these great rugby encounters.

BlogsHave we become the very scoffers of scripture?As I have been doing lately as I feel with the Blood Red moons and my belief that the 7 years have already begun, I was warning someone I knew that they should have some extra provisions on hand just in case something should occur this year. Their response was typical of someone with no belief in God whatsoever and more a belief in extra-terrestrials (we have been visited before…we are not alone in the cosmos etc.). The person even adding that they were ready to go, "Beam me up Scotty" and the like. …Life is but a DreamI remember dreams when I was young where I would be walking along and suddenly realize that those things around me were not real and that I was indeed dreaming. If I was walking with someone at the time I would turn to them and tell them that I was dreaming and to show them that I indeed in a dream I would now wake up. At that time I would then fall down to the ground knowing the shock would indeed wake me from my sleep. Looking back now I wonder why I would waste my time telling someone who was not real in the first place that I was dreaming but now I think I understand. Code accuracy...Revisited!The code is still proving to be quite accurate as this weekends event at Yellowstone has shown. While we on the Infinity Bible Code group did not predict an earthquake, Toby Anderson did find words in the Hebrew/Greek corresponding to this year that made us keep an eye on it. Earthquakes and volcanoes came to my mind after reading Psalms 114 (2014 ---> Prophecies in the Psalms). The Theory of Quantum Theology (Final)So, 911…119. Mirror images? Perhaps. A period of time framed by the numbers? I found out that the only time the Hebrew word for "wrapped up" or Maot as used in the Old Testament is in Ezekiel 21 which reads as followed: 14 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their privy chambers. The TetradA quick article post about the upcoming Blood Red moons. A very rare occurrence with the possibility of Biblical significance. http://thetruthwins.com/archives/the-blood-red-moons-of-2014-and-2015-an... D L Johnson The Theory of Quantum Theology Part 3So how does history repeat itself? Does it repeat because the 22 Hebrew letters repeat itself throughout the Bible? That is indeed the question. We do not notice little details in history like the fact that Lincoln was shot in the head killed in Ford Theater and 100 years later Kennedy is shot in the head and killed in a Lincoln made by Ford. Coincidence? Maybe. But add to it that how Psalm 64 (1964 according to Prophecies in the Psalms by J R Church) contains the words: "…that they may shoot in secret at the perfect:" The Theory of Quantum Theology Part 2JasonRowie Porteous of our Yahoo group reminded me of something that he had probably said before but it finally clicked in my head with one of those "Eureka" moments. In part he wrote: "Indeed is it not curious that the three middle chapters of the Bible are Psalm 117, with the shortest & longest on either side of Psalm 118. It's as if the Lord put a giant cosmic-scale marker saying: "Look here, my people." The Theory of Quantum Theology Part 1Launching what appears to be a new idea, I guess we should examine if there is a definition for it first One definition of the word Quantum was: Something that can be counted or measured as we define Theology as: The study of the nature of God and religious truth; rational inquiry into religious questions. What we are to Glory in.Several weeks ago I came across the following scripture and found it rather inspiring. 23 Thus saith the LORD, Jeremiah 9: 23-24 Culinary Arts For At Risk Youth: Problem StatementProblem Statement The Daily pointed out in a Friday column that more Chicago residents -- 228 -- have been killed so far this year in the city than the number of U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan - 144 -- over the same period. The war zone-like statistics are not new. As WBEZ reports, while some 2,000 U.S. troops have been killed in Afghanistan since 2001, more than 5,000 people have been killed by gun fire in Chicago during that time, based on Department of Defense and FBI data. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/16/chicago-homicide-rate-wor_n_160... |

Kind of surprised. Figured the VT game would be a sell out.
Haters are gonna hate.
Like the poster above said, he's the #2 recruit in the country... tough to blow up more than that.
He is a freak. I know we're recruiting him hard, hope he picks the good guys (but I'm not holding my breath.).
Gibson? That came out of left field.
Whoa... we have some optimists in the house today.
I'm cautiously optimistic about Hilliard, but I'm still not totally convinced we'll get him. Based on when he's making his decision, I'd say he'd be my pick, but far from a lock.
Cornell.... I guess we'll see. Lots of recent CBs to the good guys. Personally, I think Sweat is a pipe dream. I don't care if he's visiting tomorrow. I just don't like our odds.
Love it.
He's going to be redshirted. That's what LJ told him when they recruited him. He's pretty raw and he needs to work on strength and technique.
Doesn't have SEC speed.
I'd upvote you if I could.
How sweet would it be if they had to get their next head coach from "Little Brother"?!
Birm -
What's you read on this guy? Do we actually have a shot?
Music to my ears (hoping you're referring to gibson)!
Is the plan to still only take one QB?
I guess you can vote based on Larry's track record at PSU... Me personally? I'm holding back judgement until I see a full year of his work at tOSU.
I think it's easy to think that Larry is better now, just because he is our coach right now and Mike is not. However, the progress Mike made between when he was first hired and when he left for the Texans is remarkable. Not to mention the guys he helped bring in. I'm looking at the guys we're in on this year and I see a bunch of redshirt guys, no instant impact players like what were recruiting when Mike was our coach. Obviously we're recruiting Josh Sweat, but I think that's real longshot at the moment. Larry is a really good coach, but it seems like the type of player he likes versus the one's that Mike recruited are different. I don't doubt his track record with sending guys to the league, but I'm not a fan of his recruiting style (Personally).
Man I love this guy. Humble, thoughtful, and wise beyond his years... (Maybe he could advise ol' Marcely's Jones about his twitter posts now?)
I hope he tears it up this season and is a 1st round draft pick. He's one of those guys that you want to succeed because they do it the right way.
The real question is would an early commitment by Gibson really mean anything? I don't think so... he seems pretty fickle.
They wait because Meyer is going after the best, regardless of state. For the top 150 guys, typically you have to be patient and it's a dogfight until the end for them. If they offered the Ohio and local guys, they'll commit and fill the spots up well before the elite guys make their decisions.
My guess is that the staff thinks they can offer late and make up ground quickly because these guys are Ohio players and most of them grew up fans of tOSU.
Hope we get this kid, he's the kind of talent that we can't let leave the state.
Looks great! Well done guys!
"In related news, the Leadership Council has been tasked with researching whether or not "heavy reliance" on online courses is is appropriate for student-athletes."

Easy there killer.
He's halfway through his junior year. There is so much time before NSD for the class of 2014, anything coud happen with him.
To be clear, I certainly hope you are right.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Holaso's forum posts
The problem with corporate business is that unless you are making hand over fist and have the extra revenue in profits to burn, the shareholders may be putting pressure on the company president or Editor In Chief. What if the numbers came back that mini-series of already existing monthly books significantly increased revenue by 200% for the quarter. The shareholders will want more of that.
I'm not a numbers guy but I've been around to know how business at the upper levels operate. What it comes down to is the company president or chief executive officer NEED TO have the moxie to say "NO" and present an alternative plan and how that plan will ultimately grow the company. BUT, if the company doesn't meet the plan and grow, that executive who presented the idea will probably be fired from his position...so a champion of the fans (and the property) will be gone.
Death of Superman - it was so contrived and underwhelming (should've been more epic) that I could not suspend my disbelief
The only edge a female character needs is GOOD WRITER who can give a woman that depth of character!
To be honest I LOVED IT. I first started reading Superman in the late 1970s as a wee little kid...and always marveled at the extraordinary feats he could accomplish that was barely in the realm of comprehension. This little preview took me back to that time. As much as I loved John Byrne's Man of Steel...I really missed that part of Superman that would let him fly into the center of the sun and lift planets. I think with modern day writers we can see the return of THAT Superman without degrading into silliness.
Nice necro on this thread...I enjoyed it and AGREE!
Aside from drawing basics like perspective, depth, and volume Anatomy is your first step. Learn how the skeletal structure is able to move and swivel to see what positions are possible. Next is the muscle groups and how it fits onto the skeletal structure...and how it makes shapes. Next and the longest journey is how the muscle groups flex and relax. All along the way you can play with dynamic poses. Friend me on DA and I'll give you more indepth constructive criticism with drawings to guide you. http://holaso.deviantart.com

@Holaso: Superman wasn't that unique, his powerset, first name and nickname all came from other characters
Want to tell me where everything came from? ;) You don't have to answer it if you don't know. I think his inspirations were radically different enough that he would count as unique in his time. Technically you can say nothing is unique because everything was inspired by something. But in terms of modern day SUPERHERO, Superman is unique.
Superman is only obvious 80 years later! During his time there was nothing like him....all the copycats came afterwards. Where will Wolverine be in another couple decades? We already see a lot of copycats ...too many characters have regeneration/healing factor and claws...50 more years from now he won't be as unique as during his most popular days..I agree Superman and Spiderman are top contenders
