Our clients include state public utility commissions, utilities, renewable generation developers, investors, and design, engineering, and manufacturing companies. Clients turn to us because we know the industry – offshore wind, wholesale and retail electric energy, transmission and distribution, demand response, energy efficiency, renewable energy, nuclear power, capital-intensive construction projects, and oil & gas – and because we recommend innovative strategies to solve complex problems. For example:
- While growing concerns by many states and utilities mounted as disposal sites for low-level radioactive waste dwindled, we acted on behalf of our client to create the Atlantic Interstate Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Compact, which ensures that Connecticut nuclear power plants will always be able to dispose of their low-level radioactive waste.
- When FERC decided New England needed a new capacity market design, we requested and received an unprecedented oral argument before the FERC Commissioners and then spear-headed the negotiations among more than 120 parties that produced the Forward Capacity Market.
- When damaging emails and public perception threatened a utility's ability to recover its costs for a first-of-its-kind-at-this-size, uniquely clean integrated gasification generation facility, we developed a dual-track strategy that focused on explaining the core engineering issues to non-engineers while identifying opportunities to develop the record for appeal, which positioned our client to reach a fair settlement that will facilitate 30 years or more of clean, reliable energy for its customers.
- In response to soaring retail electric prices in Maryland after deregulation, we performed a comprehensive analysis of electric restructuring that considered others states' experiences with deregulation as well as relevant incentives, costs, and benefits and then identified steps Maryland could take within the confines of a deregulated market to ensure reliability and the reasonableness of customers' electric energy costs.
Electric Markets and Regulation
Our experience spans ratemaking's regulatory spectrum, from cost-of-service to competitive markets. We represent clients in electric market design and standard rate cases, complaint proceedings, rulemakings, investigations, and settlements before FERC and state regulatory commissions, and appellate matters arising out of those administrative actions.
Electricity regulation always involves navigating a broad and complex matrix of issues. We bring to our clients the depth and breadth of our electric industry experience, as well as knowledge of the administrative rules and practice, precedent and regulations of FERC and other state regulatory agencies. Our experience includes:
- Ground-up competitive market design and wholesale power market rules for energy, capacity and ancillary services markets
- Cost-of-service rates and "incentive" treatments for transmission investment
- Cost-of-service rates and performance terms for "reliability-must-run" generation
- Investigations and enforcement actions, addressing allegations of tariff violations and fraud
- Contract disputes
- Complex "prudence" proceedings involving the construction or decommissioning of large power plants
We counsel thoughtful strategies to avoid litigation – and, if litigation cannot be avoided, we assist our clients to develop decisive litigation strategies. Our knowledge of electric markets and regulation enables us explain complex concepts clearly and persuasively, which is especially important in administrative litigations decided solely on the papers. For instance, we recently prevailed in FERC proceedings where we argued that a proposed remedy to address alleged monopsony power would actually prevent new entrants in the market from offering a lower, competitive price. In line with Kaye Scholer's long tradition of courtroom advocacy, when the stakes are high, we excel in trial-type administrative litigations before FERC and state commissions.
Representative Matters
- Represented the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA, formerly the Department of Public Utility Control) in FERC proceedings related to the New England capacity market (i.e., the Forward Capacity Market (FCM)), spanning all matters related to the design of that market including the development and implementation of new and modified market rules. Since FERC approved the new FCM design in 2006, our representation has continued through numerous proceedings at FERC including petitions, complaints, and "paper" hearing proceedings to establish and reform the market rules. These proceedings have involved multifaceted issues such as federal-state jurisdictional boundaries, resource adequacy and reliability, fraud, competition, supply-side market power mitigation, reliability-must-run compensation, interconnection queue reforms and performance metrics. We presently represent the PURA before the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in proceedings to review FERC's orders changing significant supply-side market power rules necessary to ensure the capacity market remains competitive.
- Represented the Maryland Public Service Commission in various matters involving the PJM Interconnection Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) capacity market, most recently opposing a second round of aggressive rule changes presented as buyer-side mitigation rules that are intended to block new generation plants that a state has found to be needed to assure reliability. We currently represent the Commission in appellate proceedings before the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit to review FERC's orders modifying the first round of buyer-side mitigation rule changes. We also initiated complaint proceedings at FERC to challenge the reasonableness of excessive capacity charges burdening customers during the transition to the RPM, and have successfully opposed unreasonable proposals to increase key RPM parameters such as the "Cost of New Entry" that have immediate and substantial impacts on capacity rates.
- Represented the New England Governors (pro bono) in developing a proposal to form a regional state committee for the New England states that would provide a forum for and better representation of states' interests in wholesale electricity market matters. After extensive negotiations with stakeholders, FERC approved tariff revisions authorizing the New England States Committee on Electricity (NESCOE) to be funded through the grid operator, ISO New England.
- Represented Duke Energy Indiana before the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission in a complex litigation defending allegations of imprudence, gross mismanagement, fraud and concealment in the design, engineering and construction of a $3 billion integrated gasification combined cycle plant.
- Initiated complaint proceedings at FERC on behalf of the Maryland Public Service Commission to challenge discriminatory, preferential energy market rules exempting certain electric generation plants from offer mitigation. FERC agreed and eliminated the mitigation exemptions, which the market monitor estimated had been costing the state's customers more than $80 million annually.
- Negotiated settlements on behalf of the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority in several FERC settlement proceedings to establish cost-of-service rates for must-run electric generators operating to ensure grid reliability. FERC approved our proposed settlements, reducing costs that electric customers would have otherwise paid by more than $100 million.
- Represented the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority in FERC proceedings to set transmission providers' electric transmission rates, including consideration of "incentive adders" and preferential rate treatments for new transmission investments.
- Acted as special counsel to the Delaware State Senate Energy and Transit Committee to examine witnesses at a two-day Committee hearing and prepare a draft report for the Committee on "Affordable, Environmentally Friendly Energy with a Detailed Analysis of the Proposed Bluewater Power Purchase Agreement." We reviewed the procedures that the Delaware Public Service Commission used to assess a proposed power purchase agreement for offshore wind generation, an assessment of compliance with state statutes, an analysis of the costs and benefits of the proposed power purchase agreement with Bluewater Wind, and evaluation of alternatives and a path forward.
- Acted as special Counsel to the former Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control to evaluate wholesale electric utility deregulation options, including the development of merchant power producers, divestiture of investor-owned generating assets, and creation of market administration mechanisms. This effort resulted in legislative proposals that ultimately led to retail deregulation in the spring of 1998.
- Examined, for the Maryland Public Service Commission, the outcome of the State's electric deregulation process, prepared an analysis of other states' electric industry restructuring experience and steps taken to address problems with restructured markets, and recommended steps Maryland could take to assure reliability while ensuring the reasonableness of customers' electric energy costs. The investigation also produced a settlement with a utility that the Governor estimated created $2 billion in customer benefits, including termination of one utility customers' financial obligations for decommissioning a nuclear generation plant.
- Investigated Maryland's retail default standard offer service auctions for the Maryland Public Service Commission to assess whether those auctions had been compromised. Our investigation included a comprehensive review of bid data, the auction monitor's reports, and other confidential documents and interviews with commission staff and consultants to determine whether auction participants had violated state or federal antitrust laws, codes of conduct, or other applicable laws and regulations.
- Represented the California Public Utility Commission's independent management auditor in the 2001 review of Pacific Gas & Electric as part of the CPUC's evaluation of possible rate relief for PG&E. This representation included assisting the state auditor in preparing testimony before the California Senate Energy Committee and before the CPUC.
- Represented Commonwealth Edison in proceedings before the Illinois Commerce Commission relating to restructuring of the electric industry in Illinois and the impact of those changes on charges for nuclear power plant decommissioning. We also represented Public Service Gas and Electric Company in similar proceedings before the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities.
- Represented the Mt. Pleasant Solar Cooperative Association (pro bono), an association of District of Columbia solar generation advocates, on a wide variety of legislative and regulatory initiatives and assisted to resolve hurdles encountered with solar interconnections and metering.

I gave it to my daughter who really doesn't know how to use a camcorder, and she says it's so easy to use and compact to carry .
Very disappointed when I got the camera and looked through the view finder. Very fuzzy and blurry. Not good quality at all. I knew for the cost it would not be great, but could not use it for what we needed it for.
As soon as I got product, it first felt and looked like a toy Digital Camcorder. Second I put batteries in it, not more than an half an hour, I heard a "pop" and was realized it was the camcorder and notice that wear the battery area had exploded. Most diffenetly take this product off your shelves and put it in the toys department. $$ dollars it is not worth it. As a fun little toy $$ excluding batteries, since it really doesnt work with them.
This camcorder is a huge disappointment. Images impossible to view on screen if taking a picture in good lighting no matter how I covered the back of the camera while tying to view it I had to guess if I was getting the picture I was trying to get. I sure do not want get picture in a dark room all the time. Video sound after loading a video to my computer was very poor quality.
You cant even see what you are filming. view finder is very dark. My daughter takes tons of videos and hasnt used it yet because it's to hard to see out of it. Waste of money
well what do u ecept for ** bucks since i dont have a web cam on my pc i am going to install the softweare that came with it and use it for a web cam its good for that
I would not recommend this product to anyone!! Bought many things from this site and this is by far the wrost!!!!! Insurctions are hard to understand and pictures and videos are very poor quality
I bought this for my 12 year old daughter. I opened it before I gave it to her to make sure it was working. I found the operating directions very complicated. So I asked my 23 year old daughter to look at it. She also found it very complicated to operate. Then I gave it to my 12 year old who noticed right away how cheap it looked and how small the viewing screen was. She then tried to turn it on and we couldn't get it to turn on anymore. Needless to say I returned the camera.
I would not purchase another I am just glad this was a gift to myself and not a family member or friend.
children have been able to operate video looks decent

This link leads to a history of anchors. The pertinent bit comes a good way down the page.
In 1852 a British Commission declared the Trotman anchor "Best". By 1859 the Mushroom type of anchor appeared as an instrument especially suited for permanent moorings. With the removal of the stock, from Mertom's anchor of 1861 and the advent of Lathem's anchor 1886 the use of stockless tumbling-fluke anchors increased rapidly. In 1866 the ball-and-socket type of stockless anchor first appeared in England.
So my question:
What kind of anchor would Nemo have used on the NAUTILUS circa 1869?
An anchor with a stock would have been awkward. The modern hinged anchor hadn't yet been developed.
The USS MONITOR had a four-point anchor (launched January 30, 1862.) http://www.mariner.org/monitor/09_today/image_page/anchor.html
A mushroom anchor mounted directly beneath the bow as in the SKIPJACK makes the most sense. But from what I know of the period no ship would have sailed with only one anchor. Anchors tend to get lost. And in changing currents one anchor won't hold the ship steady. (The Statutes of Genoa of 1441 AD required a 1500-ton ship to carry 12 iron anchors of from 1600 to 1800 pounds each.)
I had imagined two in the bow (p/s) and maybe two in the stern (p/s). Must make up my mind soon. I am in the detailing phase now that the hull is 99% complete.
I know that nowhere in the book does it mention that the NAUTILUS ever rested at anchor. She was stuck on a reef once. But the times that she waited for her captain to come back from a walk about the sea floor, she must have been anchored.
Don't mind me. I am just trying to get inside Nemo's head here.
Hmmm. No mention is made of small manuevering propellers amd engines either. But modern subs have them...

Study: Greenhouse Gas Emissions Have Caused Irreversible Effects on Sea-Level Rise

Emissions up until this point have ensured an irreversible sea-level rise of 1.1 meters by the year 3000
A new study has found that it's too late to reverse the
effects that greenhouse gas emissions will have
on sea levels over the next thousand years -- but we could lessen the impact of these effects if proper changes are made.
According to research by scientists at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Manchester Metropolitan University and the Universit
é catholique de Louvain, greenhouse gas emissions produced up to this point has ensured an irreversible sea-level rise of 1.1 meters by the year 3000. This number could increase, they warn, if no action is taken to reduce these levels -- and the effects could extend into thousands of years into the future.
The research team came to this conclusion by modeling sea-level changes over thousands of years while including all of our planet's ice sheets and warming of the oceans into its projections. This includes glaciers, ice caps and the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The team said this has never been done before.
Using a climate modeling system called LOVECLIM, the team analyzed several scenarios over the next thousand years. It found that there will be a sea-level rise of at least 1.1 meters by the year 3000, but if other certain emissions scenarios were followed, it could increase to 2.1, 4.1 or even 6.8 meters.
The study also found that the Greenland ice sheet was the cause of over half of the sea-level rises while thermal expansion of the ocean came in second place and glaciers/ice came in third.
"Ice sheets are very slow components in the climate system; they respond on time scales of thousands of years," said Professor Philippe Huybrechts, co-author of the study. "Together with the
long lifetime of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
, this inertia is the real poison on the climate system; anything we do now that changes the forcing in the climate system will necessarily have long consequences for the ice sheets and sea level.
"Ultimately, the current polar ice sheets store about 65 metres of equivalent sea level and if climatic warming will be severe and long-lasting, all ice will eventually melt. Mankind should limit the concentration of greenhouse gases at the lowest possible level as soon as possible. The only realistic option is a drastic reduction of the emissions. The lower the ultimate warming will be, the less severe the ultimate consequences will be."

RE: This is good news
a) Perhaps limited groups have started to do this recently. However, this is not the case with the most damning reports I've read. When asked for the data so that it could be verified, they destroyed original raw climate data and dumped a load of modified data without so much as an equation that could get it back to the original.
b) More recently, groups have in fact been submitting their data and methods. Though it is still common to get modified data and not the raw data. That said, there has also been more contrasting analysis recently. In the most recent reports I've read, the conclusion, rather than the data or method, was called into question.
c) I think he's confusing Al Gore with a scientist. His humble abode consumes 4 time energy of the average household in the U.S., while he preaches global warming. That said, I still haven't seen any climatologists publicly step up to the plate and say "This is how it's done.", while showing off their residence. Interestingly, the "Oil Monger" Bush, who gets railed for his lack of ecologic interest has a nice eco-friendly geothermal heating/cooling system for his house. Of course, his reasons are economic and not ecologic, but that just proves the two need not be mutually exclusive.
d) Honest - doubtful, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for the moment.
Open - I've never seen them accepting of an alternate viewpoint (at least not in public). In my experience, they tend to play off the opposition as imbeciles too stupid to waste time on with meaningful discussion (again in a public setting).
Public - Sure, they are all over the place.
Debate - See point about openness.
e) In reality, most climatologist are probably not prone to denigrating and insulting others. However, those that represent them and interact with the media are often guilty of it. Unfortunately, the non climatology community (read "The world at large") only ever interact with these. If they want to be taken more seriously, they need to take us more seriously (see point about openness above).
If you want to be taken seriously, you need to at least given some counter examples to his points. References are even better if you have the time. Simply saying "They don't" or "They do" doesn't make it so.
While we are on the subject of global warming and greenhouse gases, do you know what the most abundant greenhouse gas is? It is the same whether you check by concentration (factually) or by its contribution to the green house effect (debatable). I'll give you a hint: It contains NO CARBON. Of the greenhouse gases, we contribute to, do you know what percentage we contribute? Any effect we can cause is limited to this as an overall percentage. Likewise, any resolution should be limited to this percentage. To go beyond this is to oppose the natural cycle.
I'm all for better power efficiency, cleaner air, and the likes. I'll even spend money into it for the real benefits it brings: long term savings, better health, etc. I'm not opposed to the idea of preserving the environment for our children to enjoy. I just prefer to take a more realistic outlook on what we can realistically affect and prefer to use methods that are well thought out and economically viable. Some of the proposed solutions cause problems worse than the initial problem. As an example, you can force everyone to use electric vehicles and appliances in place of gas and natural gas. But if the power plant puts out more pollution to provide the extra electricity than is saved by removing gas and natural gas, then you've made the problem worse. Even if the plant is marginally better, you have to consider the waste and energy spent building new cars and appliances before the old ones reached the end of their useful life. The better solution would be to instead, continue using gas in the area and work on moving over to a cleaner plant. With improvements in the efficiency and technologies of clean plants, costs go down and people are tempted to move to electric on their own.

Crowds storm Ridgeland Apple store for new iPhone 4S; still plenty available
The Ridgeland Apple store began selling the new iPhone 4S this morning as people began lining up to get the new gadget late last night.
The iPhone 4S is the latest in the company's line of "Jesus Phones," which includes many under-the-hood improvements.
Apple has been on the mind on many recently, despite of the new iPhone, because of Steve Jobs, Apple's co-founder, who died last week following a battle with pancreatic cancer.
In many places, Apple fans created makeshift memorials to Jobs that included flowers, photos, iPad boxes and apples (as in the fruit)
The iPhone 4S initially was panned by critics, who said it was more of a facelift to the iPhone 4 than a new product. The phone's exterior looks the same as its predecessor, but the guts are new. Inside there's a faster A5 dual-core processor, an improved 8 megapixel camera and a voice assistant named Siri, who will respond to voice commands and answer questions.
Apple CEO Tim Cook helped unveil the 4S last week a day before Jobs' death.
Pre-orders of the phone started on October 7 and beat expectations. Apple sold 1 million in the first 24 hours via its website and carriers AT&T, Verizon and — for the first time — Sprint. By comparison, Apple reported 600,000 iPhone 4 pre-orders last year in 24 hours, but that included orders placed with overseas carriers.
The iPhone 4S went on sale Friday at all 245 Apple stores in the U.S., in addition to the following countries: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom. The new iPhone will be available in 22 additional countries by the end of October, Apple says.
According to officials at the Ridgeland store, despite the early rush of people buying the new product, there are still plenty of new iPhones left for everyone else who managed not to sleep on the sidewalk outside the store.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Haiku Great tool for beginners
I purchased this kit 2 weeks ago. The DVD instruction is helpful. I've been doing yoga daily since my purchase. Wonderful tool for people beginning and not able to attend a class regularly.

Rated 5 out of 5 Nice, comprehensive beginner's kit
This kit is great- it has all you need to hit the ground running as a beginner yogi! And the turquoise color is pretty too! The only think I don't like is that the buckle on the strap is metal (some are plastic) and so when the metal hits the ground or another object it is louder and harder than if the buckle were plastic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by littlemagpie13 Love this beginner's kit!
I've been wanting to get back into yoga ever since I took a class at school. I figured that I'd get a beginner's kit, since I thought I may be a little bit rusty. I love every item in the kit - especially the mat (of course)! The DVD is also very helpful for beginners, even though I didn't really need the prop intro. Many of the reviewers complained about the daily yoga stretch being too fast, but I always make it a point to watch a workout DVD BEFORE I use it in a workout, so that I know what to expect.
Anyway, love it love it love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Syndria Must for beginners
I have absolutely no experience with yoga and on suggestion from a friend came to Gaiam.
This kit has everything you need to begin your path to wellness.
The block and strap are almost essential for a first timer, they helped me understand the stability of each pose. One of the Dvd's shows you how to use them and WHY. Important for some. Very helpful for first timers.
Rodney Yee has a very calming and clear voice. His instruction is simple and concise.
For those beginning or those unable to find good beginner classes near by, this is an excellent start kit.
The price can NOT be beat.

Rated 4 out of 5 by MrsRemo This mat took me a week of use to FINALLY enjoy it
At first I was really disappointed in the mat included in this kit. I read many of it's reviews and a number of people mentioned how slippery the mat was, I was sad to come to the same conclusion upon the first 2 days of using the mat & I was hoping to be proven wrong. I'm only a couple months into my yoga pratice, but I have about 10 years of pilates practice behind me. This kit fit my price range & I was excited to get a block & strap to better my tecnique & help my practice. { I don't intend on using the DVD, I attend a class & found online classes I love}, but a new basic mat was what I was really looking forward too.
I had to do research online on how to properly & gently "break in" my new mat to make it less slippery & the two things that made a difference were 1. Cleaning it down with a gentle vinegar/water solution & 2. Drying in the sun.
After I made those two changes, the mat was everything I needed. I wished the kit came with those very suggestions. As a "beginner kit" I think newbies should be given sound advice in getting the best out of their equipment from the start.
I've actually started included inversions {bound headstands & the crow pose} after I washed & dried it and the mat it was perfect for the job. I'm so glad I didn't have to return this kit, the color is really lovely, the quality is pretty good so far & the ordering/shipping process was painless.
I'd recomment this kit, only if you are willing to "break in" your mat first.

3mm is a great basic yoga mat to get you started! If you have sensitive knees you may want to go with the 5mm mat for extra cushion. Otherwise, the 3mm Mat is perfect for a beginner!8 months ago

Starting out in Rochester NY, Jeremy Seany and I met at Jeremy's house and observed our newfound home for the next five days or so. A white GMC van named Diego equipped with a skull strapped to the front and cases of free energy drinks inside. Our first night got off to a late start going to Indianapolis Indiana so we drove and arrived around two in the morning. After catching some much needed sleep we took Diego in for an oil change the next morning and set out again for our next destination; Tulsa, OK. Nothing special out that way. Having been to most parts of the us excluding the North West region I would say the great plains are quite boring. Truthfully I can barely remember this part of the trip. Going to Albuquerque, NM was phenomenal however. One would not be too quick to believe a desert region such as this lies right smack in the middle of this misbegotten country. Las Vegas, NV was...well...Las Vegas. We were put up by the band in five star hotels the whole way but this topped it off. The Paris Inn with a view of the strip. Took in way too many drinks and let out way too much money. We almost got Seany laid by a black prostitute as well; minor detail. Seany also drove no time on this trip. Jeremy and I split the driving equally unless he was in his "on a mission" mode. We then made it to LA, CA at Jeremy's place. Took the van back to Vagrant records and made off with a bunch of free merch. Sent myself a small package back to school and we were off again backtracking to Phoenix as Jeremy was to eat Thanksgiving dinner with his girlfriend's parents. We were dropped off at our friend Chris' place at ASU and he agreed to take us to the airport the next morning. Woke up the next day and flew back into Rochester with Seany. Good trip I'd say.

That being said, The color we have in stock would be this one. And actually, it looks a little more gunmetal in real life. (See Pictures)

I am an English teacher by trade and the Bata Captain of The Quidditch Pitch. I enjoy reading fanfiction, but will also edit as I go...
I am entirely too old to be so in love with Harry Potter and Friends. But alas, here I am, a mother of two and a wife of over half my life.
I love:
Harry and Ginny, Ron and Hermione, Remus and Tonks
My family
My Live Journal friends
I tolerate:
Ron without Hermione, Harry without Ginny, Ginny with Neville
There are some things that I don't tolerate well, or rather, don't care for, but I won't go into that right now and in this forum.
I enjoy writing about the world of Harry Potter and love, love, love reviews!!!

Special district boards attend mandated ethics training
To assist special district board members with meeting the California state biannual mandate for ethics training, the Plumas County Special Districts Association hosted a workshop Saturday, March 9, in the Quincy library conference room.
In attendance were a large number of board members, chief executive officers and general managers from recreation, water, fire and hospital districts across Plumas County.
Attorneys Andy Morris and Josh Nelson taught the three-hour certified course to an audience that very much appreciated the opportunity to freely ask questions about any process or procedure that created a level of uncertainty in meeting state standards.
The first instruction of the morning was dedicated to ethics training. The purpose of this training is to assist public agencies to comply with the law; learn best practices; promote positive public perceptions; and avoid legal problems.
While many of our neighbors often fill critical roles on local boards it takes this type of training to recognize the incredible responsibilities and liabilities those unpaid, elected officials accept.
When looking at a familiar face, it can be equally as hard to comprehend that the board member not only holds the power of government but that he or she must additionally be a good steward of tax dollars and the public's trust.
Transparency laws pertaining to the California Public Records Act and the Ralph M. Brown Act were also covered extensively.
The workshop also offered instruction in the areas of the Political Reform Act of 1974; personal financial interests; public contracts; personal advantages and perks; gifts to agencies; loans, reimbursements and nepotism; misuse of public funds; fair political practices and campaign finances.

Barbara Schmidt Reduced design, not a superficial luxury: The room on the 7th Floor of the Berlin design and lifestyle hotels "Kurfürstendamm 101" offers a view over the rooftops of Berlin. Inside it is a relaxing atmosphere and thoughtful design - such as the white porcelain of the Thuringian porcelain manufacturer Kahla. Many of the designs are by Barbara Schmidt. The 36-year-old has become one of the most influential designers porcelain in Germany.

After the bankruptcy of the company, in 1993, the new management there paved the way for unusual design. Away from low-cost carriers - through a quality product with design competence. And with success: The lines of the house designer Barbara Schmidt have been awarded since 1994 nationally and internationally with numerous design awards. Including the Good Design Award in Chicago, the Red Dot Award and Japan's Good Design Award. Abroad led Schmidt among others, the University of Art and Design (UIAH) to Helsinki and later to Holland and Japan.

Although I'm quite familiar with Mathematica, I always try to keep an open mind and don't use it as golden hammer. I'm particularly good at things that are fun, for instance
- glueing QR codes on paper roles and writing articles about it
- implementing a Mathematica plugin for the best IDE ever just because I was curious whether I can hack a complete Mathematica parser
- making images that give you a headache
- making stackexchange better by hacking a highlighter for Mathematica code-blocks in Java Script or abusing others hard work to extend our own markup editor on mathematica.se
- I love making music. Especially with my friends.

When Lillia learns that she'll be going on vacation with her best friend Treize instead of her mom, she's not sure how she should feel about it. Lillia's parents aren't exactly typical, having saved the world... oh, a dozen or so times. And Treize is a member of a royal family, so the restrictions on what he can do are a royal pain. But still, once she's actually on vacation, she starts to have a good time. Until - people start trying to kill them; they end up with a planeload of orphans; it turns out that Trieze is actually a PRINCE; and did we mention that people are trying to kill them? There are secret identities, aerial dogfights and twisting plots galore ahead as Lillia inherits the family talent for being in the right place at the wrong time!

Screw 2: Cut To The Chase, Scene #03
Screw 2: Cut To The Chase, Scene #03
Hot House Video
Owen Hawk is perched on a motorcycle, daydreaming of riding down the streets of San Francisco like the tough guys he's always fantasized about shagging. Problem is he's on Diego De La Hoya's bike who's none to happy to find him on his property. Diego immediately thrusts the stud onto his knees to suck his juicy Puerto Rican dick. Owen can't help but gag on the brown meat stuffed into his mouth (while Diego orders him around in the hottest Spanglish that'll have you in a full-on fever!) The sight of Owen's pretty 8 1/2 incher soon has Diego on his knees returning the favor. Next Diego bends the boy over his bike, dick splayed backwards, and inspects the big round butt he's about to use. His dick slams right in the boy's ass, teaching Hawk a lesson about staying off other people's property. Diego decides Owen's big stiff prick would best be used up his own butt and he soon spins around to take it. Hawk looks sexy as fuck stuffing our beefy Latin stud with his long straight pole. After the two fuck each other to exhaustion, Owen sticks a huge dildo to the floor, mounts it and waits to be showered with Diego's huge load. After Owen cums, the greedy boy scrapes the cum off the floor and sticks it into his filthy mouth

Adenoidectomy is the surgical removal of the adenoids. Adenoids are made of tissue located in the back of the nose near the throat. They are thought to be involved in developing immunity against infections in children.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Adenoidectomy is usually done to remove enlarged adenoids that are causing sleep apnea due to a blockage in the nasal passage. It may also be used to treat long-term sinus infections and recurrent ear infections.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:

Do not eat or drink anything for at least 6 hours prior to the procedure.
General anesthesia is used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep through the procedure.
The adenoids will be surgically removed through the mouth. A scalpel or another type of tool will be used to remove the adenoid tissue. An electrical current can also be used. Sometimes, the adenoids are removed through the nose. Gauze packs will be placed at the site of the procedure to prevent bleeding.
Radiofrequency ablation is a type of procedure that uses heat to destroy tissue. It may be used to reduce the volume and size of the adenoids. This method often has less bleeding. It also seems to cause less pain.

WORK FORCE GUEST BLOG -- STEVE CORNACCHIA Mixing it up: New trends in life sciences executive compensation plansBy STEVE CORNACCHIA 4:30 am, March 26, 2013
Despite the economic challenges of the last several years, the demand for talent in the life sciences industry continues to increase and, in turn, is driving up executive salaries.
While I had empirical experience that life science companies were adjusting their offers to compete for talent, it seemed prudent to confirm if the same held true on a macro-scale.
Competition for key senior executive talent is the clear reason behind biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies continuing to grow executive compensation packages at a double-digit rate annually.
Base compensation is certainly the foundation of a compelling offer to a candidate for an executive position, but in my experience (and the numbers we analyzed confirm) companies are leveraging stock awards to attract talent. Companies that traditionally only offered options have moved to either a balanced offering of options and awards or, in some cases, abandoned options all together in favor of offering only stock awards as part of the compensation plan. Steve Cornacchia specializes in the life sciences practice at ON Search Partners, a retained executive search firm. He has more than a decade of international search experience consulting to multinational biotechnology, medical device and pharmaceutical companies.

What next for the International Space Station?
Article Summary
It's a challenging time for the International Space Station (ISS). The single most expensive engineering project in human history and one of the most complex pieces of machinery ever assembled, the future of the ISS remains uncertain after the ending of the Space Shuttle program and the grounding of Russia's Soyuz fleet following an accident last month. While the recently announced resumption of manned Soyuz flights means the danger of the station being evacuated and mothballed has receded ... it hasn't ended.

Can't agree Griff. Soccer looked after itself and got on with developing their game. It wasn't their job to help RL but they didn't actively try to kill it. They never banned RL clubs from using their grounds nor ban players. Whereas RU did and more besides.
No, soccer did more than just develop its own game. It went out of its way to restrict the growth of a new code of professional football, prevented the growth of the game outside the heartlands and actively sought the same spectators.
It's misguided to believe soccer to be blameless and lay all of our ills on the door of rugby union.
Of course, rugby league's biggest enemy was, and is, itself.

The highly alcoholic drink absinthe was banned in much of Europe during World War I, and only in recent years became once again legal, finding its way back into bars and shops. Meanwhile the European Parliament is divided on its vote on the European Commission's attempt to standardize the definition of the drink by deciding if and how much of the two substances anethole and the chemical thujone, a toxin extracted from wormwood, which has given the drink its reputation for producing mind-altering effects, must be contained within it to officially classify versions of the 'green fairy,' as it is also known, with the absinthe name.

Realignment Deja Vu: Haven't I Heard This Argument Somewhere Before?
When I started college, Occidental had just concluded the grand but brief scheduling experiment known as trimesters, basically a tweaked quarter system still in use at some schools. Mine was the first class to start under the "return to semesters" schedule. The reasons given for the switch were, as is typical in these situations, either the exact same reasons given for the initial switch to trimesters or arguments once used against semesters now touted as virtues. With typical Oxy snark, upperclassmen made t-shirts to illustrate this phenomena in hilarious fashion with a chart depicting the arguments for trimesters on one side, culled from the letters sent to siblings and acquaintances on campus during the time of that switch, and the arguments for semesters on the other side, culled from the letter they received prior to the switch. If I felt like digging deeply enough in the back of our dresser, I would probably find that my husband still has his t-shirt! Anyway, for some odd reason I've been thinking about that a lot this week. *glares daggers at Bud Selig* I wonder why?
I do not like the impending realignment. Do. Not. Like. I do not think it will ruin baseball or anything drastic like that. I am still going watch easily 150 or so of the Angels' 162 games plus a number of other random games every season and I will still enjoy them. But that doesn't change the fact that it's abysmally stupid to have argued passionately in favor of one thing only to switch the argument on its ear not 15 years later. To wit, 'We must put up with the small inconvenience of unequal divisions in order to avoid the unimaginable horrors of Interleague play nearly every day and other scheduling nightmares that would occur from having two 15 team leagues!' becomes 'We must switch to two 15 team leagues and put up with the small inconvenience of expanded Interleague play nearly every day in order to avoid the unimaginable horrors of unequal divisions.'
It's not the 15 teams in each league I object to so much, that at least fixes the stupidity having four teams in the AL West and six in the NL Central, it's the expanded Interleague play (in addition to the revisionist history arguing style going on here). Look, I may be one of the few folks in the blogosphere that actually enjoys Interleague play, but even I would prefer to see it less often and certainly don't want to see it several times a week, all season long. If we can't fix the AL West/NL Central situation by adding two completely new teams to the AL – my personal little pipe dream that's never going to happen – I would rather fix the scheduling difficulties that come from two odd numbered leagues by capitalizing on that other "scheduling nightmare" that Selig adamantly didn't want all the way back in the late 90s: double headers.
Think about it. Interleague play can remain intact and unexpanded in the middle of the season, thus eating up a few of the near daily odd-man-out in each league situations while scheduling several four-game series with planned single admission double headers for every team can eat up the rest. I know that the players union hates double headers, but if MLB wants something that will solve scheduling woes and really attract fans, double headers are the way to go. A single admission double header brought numbers that could actually be deemed crowds rather than a mere crowd to the Coliseum last season. I saw it with my very own eyes. Now that's power!
And as for the rest? An additional Wild Card in each league? I didn't like the first Wild Card additions, but it grew on me. I don't really like this one either. I guess I'm a curmudgeon before my time when it comes to change in baseball. But if adding an additional Wild Card race makes the end of the next season half as entertaining as the end of this one, it might grow on me too. The Astros making the switch from the NL Central to the AL West? Meh. Returning the Brewers to the AL and switching one of the AL Central teams to the West might have made more sense, given that it would simply be undoing that which was already done. However, I think that wouud require Mr. Selig to admit he is reversing his argument completely and, much like my college administration, I think he's trying to avoid that as much as possible. Hmmm…do I still know anyone with access to a silk screen press?
And while I am already waxing Suess-ical with all of these do not likes, I do not like Jerry Dipoto's reported "serious interest" in C.J. Wilson. Not in a box, not with a fox. Not over twitter, not with a dash of bitters. I do not like it. Not one bit. Overpaying free agents may be the new black, but if the Angels are going to grossly overpay a free agent, how about one that swings a bat for power…and, call me crazy, actually makes contact resulting in something other than an out(s) on a regular basis.

Selig, from my viewpoint is the Emperor. A true fiend. Placing the Astros in the A.L West makes me want to be sick. His beloved Brewers should be making the return to the A.L and he knows it. Furthermore, two wild card teams with a one game playoff is a knee jerk reaction to his Brewers taking a dirt nap to the Cards this year. He has to be one of the most self serving commissioners of all time. As an Athletics fan I am simply mortified that the Astros will be in the A.L West. Not because I think they are good or a threat.
The Athletics franchise is under serious consequence if some deal cant be reached to procure a new stadium near Oakland and this situation has been this way for a long time with NOTHING done on Seligs part. The Astros realignment is what I believe to be the first step to either doing away with the Athletics franchise, or moving/changing it completely. His do nothing approach to help the A's franchise says it all.
I really do hope I'm wrong but my gut says I am not.
Getting rid of the A's seems unlikely InvariablyBaseball, unless there is a corresponding plot to get rid of an NL team too and then we'd be right back to uneven divisions anyway. I agree that doing nothing to fix the stadum situation is crappy…though I have to say, I had a blast visiting the Coliseum earlier this season and hope to do it again next season, not that I wouldn't visit a new stadium too. Anyway, this is one situation where I hope you are wrong. It would be sad to lose any of the teams, and especially sad to lose a fun rival.
>– Kristen
I have been a baseball purist for a long time, but I am beginning to loosen my grip on tradition. The only way this really works is if both leagues adopt the same rules (DH) and go to a NFL/NBA type scheduling where everybody plays everybody in their division a bunch of times, everybody in their league and then alternate each year with division v. division matchups (i.e. AL West v. NL Central, etc). The mystique of interleauge died with the internet boom. I can see the Yankees play every day of my life if I want. Same with the Royals. Or Phillies. Or… ANY TEAM. It's not a big deal anymore so they should stop treating it as such. The realignment had to happen so I would stop complaining about how my team automatically has less of a chance to make the playoffs every year than any one of the four AL West teams, before games have even been played.
Well Jeff I would have thought that winning the World Series would put an end to your whining of that sort, for a few seasons at least. ;) All joking aside, that's why I do not object to the fifteen teams in each league so much. Having only 4 in the AL West was silly, etc. It's the Interleague all the time that I object to. I think there are other ways of dealing with it, double headers and such, that owuld be more fun for the fans and more nostalgic. I disagree that the mystique is dead. Yes, you can watch your favorite players in the opposite league play on the internet any time, but can you watch them play your favorite players on your team any time? And I actually like the DH. It extends the careers of great players like Vladdy and Thome (you know, except when the Phillies sign him. Weird!) whom we will all miss when they retire.
