I Didn't Want to Know God
North Carolina college student finds forgiveness and freedom from bitterness in Christ
I was the child of a teenage mother who said, "You're a mistake." My dad wasn't around. Growing up, I lived with my grandparents.
The year I turned 17, my grandmother died of lung cancer. I asked God, "How could you do this?"
I became distant. I was angry with God and didn't want to know Him. I decided I could do life on my own.
My first year of college, I got involved with people who drank, and so I did, too.
Free Pizza and Finding More
One night, I missed dinner in the cafeteria and saw a sign for free pizza at a Campus Crusade for Christ meeting. My curiosity and growling stomach told me to go, so I wandered in.
As I munched on pizza, an announcement was made about a spring break trip called Big Break in Panama City Beach, Fla. I decided I wanted to go because 75-degree weather sounded better than 50 degrees in North Carolina.
At Big Break, I immediately noticed people were different. The students had joy. They talked about how Christ is the One who gave them life, and nothing could take that away.
Growing up in church, I had been taught how to pray. So, I prayed God would show me how to get the joy I was seeing all around me.
Asking God to Take Control
The next morning, I met Heather, a student I had become friends with, for a walk on the beach. As we walked, I told her my story. I was crying.
She asked me, "If you were to die tonight, what would happen?"
I thought, Well, I'm a pretty decent person. I haven't stolen, I'm nice and haven't broken any major laws. So I guess I'll go to heaven.
But to my astonishment, I replied, "I'm going to hell."
Heather explained how Jesus lived a perfect life that I could never live. On the cross, Jesus willingly died a death I deserved but took my place so that I could accept His gift of forgiveness.
As my tears dripped onto the hot sand, I asked God to take control of my life.
Finding Purpose Through Faith
Beginning a relationship with Christ is like learning how to walk again. There have been many challenges but I believe God has helped incubate my faith. I've learned how to forgive and how to not harbor bitterness toward my family.
God is showing me I'm stronger because He lives within me. I can walk in faith knowing I'm not doing it in my own strength.
Next: Would You Like to Know God Personally?
Nikki lives in Charlotte, N.C. She works for the American Red Cross as a lab technologist in the Nucleic Acid Testing Lab. Nikki loves being around friends and the families from her church. She enjoys working with children and teaching the 4-to-6-year-old Bible class on Sunday mornings.

I literally just fired Spencer.
I'm letting the kids earn some money for an upcoming trip today by doing some extra (fairly large) jobs. They also get allowance, but I thought this would be a good way to put them to WORK today.
Spencer has the job of cleaning the walls, and he was coming to me every 3 seconds saying he was done and me explaining that I was paying per hours and that he had earned a nickle… and him bursting into tears.
So, I fired him.
Of course, there was then more crying while I told him that my manager would fire me if I had a hissy fit every 3 minutes (frankly, that part is questionable, I am union, and I have seen that before). Conner then said, "mom, give the kid a chance, he's only 6!"
Nothing melts a moms heart more than children sticking up for other children.
I re-hired him.
I am a total softie.

Mysterious blasts from Earth UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA NEWS RELEASE Posted: February 17, 2005 A particle accelerator operates in Earth's upper atmosphere above major thunderstorms at energies comparable to some of the most exotic environments in the universe, according to new satellite observations of terrestrial gamma-ray flashes.
BATSE could only detect TGFs in a special observing mode and was limited in its ability to count them or measure their peak energies. New observations from the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) satellite raise the maximum recorded energy of TGFs by a factor of ten and indicate that the Earth gives off about 50 TGFs every day, and possibly many more. The findings are reported in the February 18 issue of Science by a team of researchers from the University of California, Santa Cruz, UC Berkeley, and the University of British Columbia (UBC). "The idea that the Earth, a fairly small and tame planet, can be an accelerator of particles to ultrarelativistic energies is fascinating to me," said David Smith, an assistant professor of physics at UC Santa Cruz and first author of the paper. "The energies we see are as high as those of gamma rays emitted from black holes and neutron stars," Smith said. The exact mechanism that accerates the electron beams to produce TGFs is still uncertain, he said, but it probably involves the build-up of electric charge at the tops of thunder clouds due to lightning discharges, resulting in a powerful electric field between the cloudtops and the ionosphere, the outer layer of Earth's atmosphere. "Regardless of the exact mechanism, there is some enormous particle accelerator in the upper atmosphere that is accelerating electrons to these very high energies, so they emit gamma rays when they hit the sparse atoms of the upper atmosphere," Smith said. "What's exciting is that we are now getting data good enough for the theorists to really test their models." TGFs have been correlated with lightning strikes and may be related to visible phenomena that occur in the upper atmosphere over thunderstorms, such as red sprites and blue jets. Just how these various phenomena are related is a question the RHESSI investigators plan to pursue in collaboration with other researchers around the world, Smith said. The Science paper presents the first analysis of RHESSI data for TGFs. RHESSI, a NASA Small Explorer spacecraft, was launched in 2002 to study x-rays and gamma-rays from solar flares. But RHESSI's detectors pick up gamma rays from a variety of sources. Smith worked with RHESSI principal investigator Robert Lin at UC Berkeley and Christopher Barrington-Leigh, now at UBC, to plan ways they could use the satellite for a range of investigations in addition to studying solar flares. Liliana Lopez, a UC Berkeley undergraduate, has been working with Smith to analyze the RHESSI data for TGFs. The Science paper presents the results from a search of three months of RHESSI data, and the analysis of additional data is ongoing. The authors estimated a global average rate of about 50 TGFs a day, but the rate could be up to 100 times higher if, as some models indicate, TGFs are emitted as narrowly focused beams that would only be detected when the satellite is directly in their path. The duration of TGFs recorded by RHESSI ranged from 0.2 to 3.5 milliseconds. The most energetic TGF photons detected by RHESSI were in the range of 10 to 20 million electron volts (10-20 MeV), or about 300 times as energetic as medical x-rays. The electrons that emitted these gamma rays would have been traveling at 99.99 percent of the speed of light, with energies on the order of 35 MeV. The findings raise many interesting questions, including whether the electrons that emit TGFs ultimately contribute to the high-energy electrons in Earth's radiation belts, Smith said. "This is a very interesting process involving extreme physics right here on Earth, and if we can understand the process here it might give us insights into similar processes in less accessible parts of the universe." |

Jim Souhan analyzes the local sports scene and advises you to never take his betting advice. He likes old guitars and old music, never eats press box hot dogs, and can be heard on 1500ESPN at 2:05 p.m. weekdays, and Sundays from 10 a.m.-noon.
Find him on Twitter
Let's be honest. I don't know if Christian Ponder is going to be a star or a bust. You don't know, either. The Vikings' braintrust, which invested countless hours dissecting his film and background and interviewing him and his coaches, don't really know, either.
But if you stop worrying about where draft experts had him ranked, he has a lot going for him.
According to consensus and statistics, he's:
-Extremely bright.
-Personable. (Personality matters for quarterbacks; they have to be leaders.)
-Accurate (he completed 69 percent of his passes as a junior, and 62 percent as a senior.)
The biggest knock on him seems to be durability, but the Vikings say they thought he displayed toughness in trying to play through his injuries.
My column, in the Friday paper, makes this point: We don't know how good this kid is, but if he can play, we are about to be treated to the best drama in sports: The nurturing of a young quarterback.
For now, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to Rick Spielman and Leslie Frazier. I think Frazier knows what makes an NFL player tick, and Spielman is a tireless worker. I think they feel they landed a guy with great strengths and no glaring weaknesses.
I'll say this: I'm much more interested in this team today than I was yesterday.
-Congratulations to Michael Cuddyer for ripping into his teammates today. Somebody had to say it.
I think this will be Cuddyer's last season in Minnesota - he'll be a free agent and is not likely to want to take the kind of pay cut necessary to keep him here - and I'll miss him. He's honest, team-oriented, selfless and has a sense of humor. And he's responsible and accountable. A few of his teammates should take note.
-Joe Mauer wants to remain a catcher? Then he needs to prove he can recover from injuries and stay behind the plate. At some point, the Twins may have to remind him that he's the employee, not the employer.
-I know, I know, the Twins stink right now. They're a rather pathetic group.
Let me just remind you how lousy a team can look and still win something, though. In April of 2006, the Twins were swept by Cleveland early in the season by a combined 17-8. Then they were swept by Chicago by a combined 23-6. Then they were swept by Detroit by a combined 33-1.
That team, of course, won 96 games.
That's not a prediction of future success, merely a reminder that past failures haven't always been terrible omens.
-Ralph Sampson is declaring for the NBA draft?
Then I'm declaring that I'm about to win $1 billion dollars.
-While other NBA teams conduct their coaching searches, the Wolves...are...still...thinking...about...it...very...slowly...so...as...to...create...the...illusion...of...thoughful...ness.
-Upcoming: I'm outta here. Taking my first real adult vacation in a long, long time. I'll be on 1500espn at 2:40 tomorrow, then going on a cruise. Tom Pelissero will conduct the Gardenhire Show and Sunday Morning Sports Talk along with my Strib colleague Judd Zulgad. I'm guessing they might talk about the draft.
I'll be back the following Sunday.
My twitter handle is @Souhanstrib. I may tweet from the beach; I may not, but this is a good time to thank y'all for reading, and listening.
Justin Morneau arrived at Twins camp today, then conducted a long, thoughtful interview on the subject of his concussion, recovery and timetable.
He said he won't play in the first four or five games of spring training. Later, I spoke with Twins GM Bill Smith, who told me it might be more like seven to 10 games.
Here's what we know: Morneau has been out of action for more than seven months and remains cautious. I've been optimistic about his eventual recovery all along, because Morneau is a hard worker and great competitor, but this is an obvious sign that the Twins have no idea whether he'll be ready for opening day.
Which is fine. Too often we spend spring trainings obsessing about the opening day roster, and then by June the roster has turned over significantly because of injuries and failures, and is due to be overturned more by midseason trades.
It doesn't really matter whether Morneau is ready on opening day. What matter is that he has a productive season. The Twins' caution is appropriate.
-Star Tribune photographer Carlos Gonzalez is doing a daily photo gallery at startribune.com. You can also find it by following him on Twitter at @CarlosGphoto.
-I'll be on at 2:40 p.m. every afternoon on 1500espn, and will conduct another Sunday Sports Talk from here at 10 a.m. on Sunday, while partner Tom Pelissero will be in Indy at the NFL combine. We're everywhere.
-Too early to give you any impressions about players at spring training. Delmon Young is the only player I haven't seen in the clubhouse so far, but that's not a big deal. I saw him at TwinsFest and he looks like he's in excellent shape
One Twins coach told me today, ``It's fun to see all these young, smiling faces in this clubhouse during workouts, and then see how tight these kids get when the games start.'' So true.
-I'll check in tomorrow, after watching Morneau during his first workout.
-My opinion on the Vikings placing the franchise tag on Chad Greenway: He's a good player, and worth protecting, but if I'm going to pay $10 million to a linebacker, I want to see impact plays. Sacks. Interceptions. Forced fumbles. I'd like to see the Vikings' coaches putting Greenway in position to make more big plays, not just be a cog.
-Kevin Love is a wonderful player, but, man, did he look lead-footed as compared to the other NBA All-Stars. Having great hands doesn't matter much if you can't get to the ball.
-Because of the culture of the team this season, I wouldn't be surprised if the Wild survives Mikko Koivu's hand injury and still makes the playoffs. That's not rational analysis, just a gut feeling.
-The Gophers basketball team should beat Michigan State at home on Tuesday. But do you really trust this team? I don't.
So a beef jerky company drops Ben Roethlisberger? Isn't Roethlisberger the perfect representative of a beef jerky company? Think of the possible slogans. The mind boggles.
-I'm at Target Field tonight. The Wolves play their finale at Target Center, about 8 feet away. Will I attend the Wolves' finale?
Only if you promise me that Mark Madsen will sign a one-day contract and jack up 20 threes.
-Twins second baseman Orlando Hudson is saying that Jermaine Dye isn't signed because of racism.
I wish I could think of a kinder word than ``stupid'' for this...but I can't.
Who got sick of Dye's lousy fielding and erratic hitting and let him go? White Sox GM Kenny Williams, who, last I checked, was black.
As am-1500 personality Phil Mackey pointed out, Jarrod Washburn had the same season as Dye last year - good for four months, horrific for two - and also is unsigned because of unreasonable contract demands.
So...MLB general managers weren't racist when they were signing Dye to huge contracts...but now that he's in decline, they are racists?
-Bud Selig took some heat for saying that it is the ``pace'' of play that detracts from the game more than the actual time of game. But I agree. If the pitcher works quickly, the hitter stays in the batter's box and the game just happens to take 3 1/2 hours, that doesn't bother me.
What bothers me is when a game takes 3 1/2 hours for no apparently reason, other than lackadaisical play.
-I think I've been too hard on Tubby Smith. The Wild had their most disappointing season in history, the Wolves had their worst season in history, the Gopher hockey team had one of its worst seasons ever...compared to those winter sports, Tubby's guys were superstars.
-In case you need one more place to drink before, during or after a game, Hubert's is advertising a Happy Hour. From 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
-Notice that when the Vikings re-signed Ryan Cook, they announced it during Opening Day at Target Field? Think they wanted that news to fly under the radar?
-You can follow me on Twitter at Souhanstrib.
With day games today and Thursday, my next appearances on am-1500 will be 2:35 p.m. Friday with Reusse & Souch, and in the 6 p.m. hour with Joe Anderson. Sunday, we'll start with the Gardy show at 9:30 a.m., followed by Sunday Sports Talk til noon.
-Something we didn't see in the Metrodome Part 1,249: Napkins blowing in the outfield, interrupting the game.
-Delmon Young somehow dove for a first-inning liner and missed it entirely, letting it roll to the wall for a double.
He may be a changed man, but I'm still not sure you should play him in day games, if you know what I mean, and I think you know what I mean.
-Lots of people wearing ties in the ballpark today. Lots of people taking long lunch breaks.
-Kevin Slowey threw 30 pitches in the first inning and Mauer had to visit the mound twice. Can we stop comparing him to Radke now?
-I'll check in after the game.

Schloss Neuschwanstein
Trip Start
Mar 22, 2010
Trip End
Jun 10, 2010
Today we thought we would head towards the alps and find Schloss Neuschwanstein, another castle of King Ludwig II built in the 19th century, and along the way, drive the lower part of the Romantic Road (Romantische Strasse). With Helga all programmed, we made our way out and very soon we were on multilaned roads out of Munich. We were starting to require some fuel and thought, no problem, there will be somewhere on the way out. Nope. Surely there will be somewhere along the autobahn….. Nope. We were coming to the end of the autobahn at Landsberg and decided not to tempt fate and too the first exit we could find and decided to exit the autobahn. Thankfully there was a petrol station (along with Lidl etc) as you entered the town. Landsberg was a very pretty little town on the river, which was flowing fairly swiftly following the rain over the weekend. It was also of 'entry point' for the Romantischestrasse. The road flowed through rolling hills and as we approached the Alps, the road started to go through winding mountain valleys, with small villages dotted along the river. The rain had started to come back in by this time, with the mountains becoming increasing shrouded in the mist. The coming out of the mist we caught our first glimpse of Schloss Neuschwanstein, jutting out of mountainside and the mist. From a long way off, it seemed small, but as we got closer, you could appreciate the size and the position of this castle. We made a pass by the town of Hohenschwangau, which lies between Schloss Neuschwanstein, designed and built by Ludwig II, and Schloss Hohenschwangau, which was where Ludwig II grew up (ie. It was mum and dad's castle) . The town was littered with tourists and the parking was being charged at €7, so we decided that since the rain appeared to be lifting and the camp ground we were planning to stay at was only a few kilometres from Hohenschwangau, we would go andset up the van and ride the bikes back over after lunch. Excellent plan. We checked in (even though electricity was run by a separate guy to the campground - he came, unlocked the box, took a meter reading and gave us a docket…) The camp site was fantastic, right on the lake in Brunnen. Picture perfect spot to have lunch. After finishing lunch, we loaded up and set off across the farmland to Hohenschwangau. The place was still overrun by tourists, and when we got our tickets, it was a timed tour ticket, so you have to be at the castle at a specific time for the tour. We got to the ticket office before 3pm, but the next English tour of Hohenschwangau was at 4pm and of Neuschwanstein was at 4.30pm. To cut a long story short, there is a 45 minute walk between the 2 castles and Neuschwanstein was the real reason we had come, so that was the tour. We parked the bikes and made our way up the hill, past groups of people coming down mutterring about the silly people who walk UP the hill to the castle (there was a bus or a horse drawn cart, but we felt like a walk). Made it to the top in good time and had a quiet cup of coffee and cake (it was still a cool misty sort of day) and wandered around the courtyard of the castle. Apparently Ludwig II planned this castle himself with the help of a stage designer rather than an architect and wanted the castle to be a romantic medieval castle. It was started in 1869, but was still unfinished at the time of Ludwig's death in 1886. The rain started again as we made our way inside the castle for the tour. Inside, the castle was everything you would expect a romantic medieval castle to be. Long window lined corridors, the most magnificent throne room with giant mosaic floor and chandelier shaped like a crown, the rooms were all painted with scenes from Germanic mythology in Richard Wagner operas (Ludwig had a bit of a thing for Wagner). The ceilings were painted with medieval motifs, and they were all different from room to room. The bedroom had a bed with a canopy carved with various gothic spires from around Europe, and to top it all off, there was also a room, in the castle, made into a cave grotto (it was at this point that Rach said "He was off his face wasn't he??? Answer of course being YEEEESSSSS…….but he was so lovable. ) In his office, Ludwig had a phone (the latest modern convenience) installed, however there were only 2 lines, one to Mummy and Daddy's castle and the other to the Post Office in the Hohenschwangau (Rach was cacking herself at this, imagining Ludwig sitting by the phone ringing the post office going "This is the King, any mail for me yet" "Not yet your majesty" Hang up. Ring up 2 minutes later, "Any mail for me yet" "Not yet your majesty" "But I'm the king! There has to be a letter for me!…or a postcard? Go and check again, I'll call back in 2 minutes"… and on and on it would go….). The final Wagner inspired masterpiece was the Minstrel's Hall, a large hall with purpose built stage, covered in painting of scenes from the opera Tannhauser. Apparently Ludwig only spent 170 days in the palace and didn't like having visitors, hence the throne room was never used, the Minstrels Hall was never used. Off his face…..
The final part of the tour was through the castles kitchen, it was huge and surprisingly modern. We had a great time. After the tour, we found a little audiovisual display of the life of Ludwig II, who spent all the family fortune and was about to have the bank repossess everything when he was certified insane and taken away only to be found drowned the next day (with his doctor….weird…and nobody talks about it). After his death, the castle was opened to the public 6 weeks after his death and has been a tourist attraction ever since (including the inspiration for Disneyland's castle).
We made our way through an exhibition of drawings and photos of the building of the castle, fascinating to see how it was put together. I was delighted by the men's loo, with the best view I've ever had from a stand and point. After leaving the castle, we walked up the hill to the Marionbrucke, a bridge built across the gorge behind the castle so Ludwig could marvel at his own magnificence. The view of the castle, perched on the mountain top, with the views across to the lakes in the background is truly something to behold. (R: absolutely breathtaking - it is hard to imagine how magnificent this castle is - the pictures are amazing, but actually standing, looking over it listening to the water run over the gorge and take in the size and spectacle - add it to my list of 'very most favourite places in all of Europe').
The rain was holding off to just a mizzle as we made our way back down the mountainside to the village. We could see Mummy and Daddy's castle over on the other hilltop, and as we got lower and closer to the village, it sort of loomed up higher above us, with clouds hanging over like a sheet on the line. Once in the village, we decided to have a couple of Konig Ludwig Dunkels (which Kat teased us about later saying it was a 'tourist beer') and spotted a Pork Knuckle on the menu, so had to sample it. Unfortunately, it was what you might expect from a touristy spot. No crackle and not falling off the bone. About a 3 out of 10. Oh well.
It had started to rain again as we left to get our bikes. So funny riding our bikes across the farmlands and watching Neuschwanstein slowly disappear back into the mist and hear the sounds of cow bells tinkling away in the paddocks. What a fantastic day. Ludwig may have been off his face, but he left some fantastic castles, and what more can one ask of madness?

Process and thread inserter for the manufacture of belting with tubular edge portions
Feb 2, 1982
Issued date -
Jun 12, 1980
filing date -
Jun 23, 1979
serial no -
status (Note)
The belting has a single layer woven central portion (24) and two tubular edge portions (21, 22) and is made on a needle belt weaving loom provided with a knitting needle (37). The belting serves preferably for safety belts in motor vehicles. One tubular edge portion (22) is closed by a row of stitching (28') whereby the row of stitching does not lie at the outer edge of the tubular edge portion (22) but should disappear into the fabric at the edge of the central portion (24). By means of the invention the rate of production should be increased, which results from manufacture with two simultaneously moving weft thread insertion needles (30, 34) which simultaneously at each pick insert two weft threads (31, 35). To anchor one weft thread at the outer edges of the edge parts a common shed for both weft thread insertion needles is formed at least on the insertion side by the two outer edge warp threads (1a, 2a). For weaving the edge parts (21', 22') between the central portion (24) and the two outer edge warp threads (1a, 2a) an upper shed (32a) and a lower shed (32b) are formed, of which one shed accepts the first weft thread insertion needle (34) which forms the edge fabric and the other the second weft thread insertion needle (30) of which the weft thread (31) binds only with at least one of the two outer edge warp threads (1a, 2a). A loop (35', 51') is drawn by the knitting needle (37) outside the edge part (22') through a loop (31', 35') of at least one of the weft threads (31, 35) to form a stitch (28, 65). The row of stitching is formed either from one weft thread (35) or from a catch thread (51). In the latter case a thread inserter (53) serves to feed simultaneously the catch thread (51) and a barrier thread (41). The two weft threads (31, 35) are positively fed and the length fed of the one weft thread (35) is greater by at least the length of the two outer edge parts (21', 22') than the length fed of the other weft thread (31).

Jacobs Management Center
(716) 645 – 3230
and Objective:
Managerial activities revolve around decision-making. One of the hallmarks of successful management in a complex and rapidly changing environment is the ability to recognize decision situations, understand their essential features, and obtain insight that makes clear what the appropriate actions are. Some successful managers seem to have an innate ability to do this. Many consider decision making as an art; something learned by trial and error; something based on creativity, judgment, intuition, and experience rather than something based on a set of systematic methods.
This course provides an introduction to the concepts and methods of Management (Decision) Science, which involves the application of mathematical modeling and analysis to management problems. One goal is to encourage a more disciplined thinking process in the way you approach management situations. To that end the course provides a foundation in modeling with spreadsheets to help you become a more skilled builder and consumer of models & model-based analyses.
The spreadsheet is the most widely accepted modeling tool for
managerial decision making. This course studies two fundamental issues of
decision making, namely, the modeling of situations or problems
and the solution of those problems. The purpose of this class is
to provide you with a working knowledge of a method to address decision
situations in a rational, well-organized manner. Decision analyses using simple
yet effective quantitative tools will be explored.
o To enhance your skill in using Excel spreadsheets for business analysis (learn a comprehensive set of spreadsheet skills & tools, including design, construction, testing, & use of spreadsheets).
o Introduce the basic principles of mathematical modeling for managerial decision-making (identifying settings in which models can be used effectively).
o Sharpen your ability to structure problems and to perform logical analyses. (practice translating descriptions into formal models & investigate those models to extract insight & to use those insights to communicate, persuade and motivate change).
Exploit the computer as a resource in analysis:
you will learn how to use the computer to support your decision-making.
Rather than survey all of the techniques of management science, we stress those fundamental concepts and tools that we believe are most important for the practical analysis of management decisions, presenting the material as much as possible in the context of realistic business situations from a variety of settings.
o Models and the process of spreadsheet modeling: Modeling encompasses formulation of managerial decision problems as simplified abstractions of reality to examine selected aspects of behavior. Modeling involves conceptualizing the problem as a set of propositions or equations describing in simplified form some aspects of reality. The model enables its user to determine how key properties of reality will change over time.
o Spreadsheet optimization (selecting the best alternative from the available set without trying them all): Many managerial problems involve allocation of limited resources (i.e. personnel, equipment, materials, time, space, capital) to specific activities in order to optimize a performance. Optimization is directed at finding the best solution to a problem. Possible applications include: choice of product mix, work force scheduling, aggregate capacity planning, portfolio selection, cash flow matching, and financial planning.
Decision Analysis: Modeling multiple
stage decision to determine which of a finite set of alternatives should be
selected given available information and an uncertainty future. Possible
applications: oil drilling, process selection, capacity planning, and strategy
o Simulation: Modeling of systems with techniques or apparatus that imitate the behavior of some situation or system in order to gain information about or study the system under specific conditions. The resulting simulation model begins with a set of initial conditions and plays through the various kinds of events that might occur. The simulation is used to estimate results of proposed actions from a series of imaginary experiments (imaginary because they are performed on the representation of the situation, the model, rather than on the situation itself). Possible applications: new product profitability assessment, inventory stocking, airline over booking, cash flow analysis, bidding, betting, and option pricing.
Queuing (optional – time permitting): Queuing deals with problems
that involve or waiting. Typical examples include: bank - waiting for service,
computers - waiting for a response, or equipment - waiting for a failure to
occur. In essence all queuing models can be broken down into individual
sub-systems consisting of entities that arrive, queue for some activity, are
served, and depart. Queues form because resources are limited. They make
economic sense in that they in that they result from the balance between
service to customers (short queues implying many servers) and economic
considerations (not too many servers). In terms of the analysis of queuing
situations we are typically concerned with measures of system performance that
might include: waiting time, length of the queue, utilization of the server.
o Numeracy skills: the ability to reason logically, especially with numbers, making rough estimates or a back-of-the-envelope calculation, checking for consistency of units.
o Design skills: the skills necessary to build and use a simple spreadsheet. Basic ability: to identify key assumptions and represent them by parameters, to develop a set of relationships that connect inputs to outputs, and to draw useful inferences from the outputs. Advanced ability: to debug a model effectively, to define a sensible base case, to decide which uncertain parameters should be represented by probability distributions and which by scenarios, and to conduct insightful what-if analyses.
o Interpretation skills: Interpretation skills include the ability to recognize a problem in a complex mess of symptoms, causes, solutions, and data; the ability to infer patterns and meanings from model solutions; and the ability to translate these patterns into layman's language so as to communicate clearly to decision makers or employees who will have to implement proposed changes

Course is structured to promote learning by a combination of individual and
group efforts. Group interaction is encouraged to enable you to use time
efficiently and to improve your understanding of the material. Group
collaboration is always encouraged.
respect to homework, some amount of discussion and sharing within the study
group is desirable. However, each student is responsible for learning all
the material on the assignment. Each student is expected to seriously attempt
each homework problem on his or her own, and only to use the group to help
resolve open issues.
It is a violation of Academic Integrity to edit and submit another individual's file
as your own for homework assignments, cases and exams. It is also a violation
of Academic Integrity to
facilitate another individual's submission of your work as their own for
homework assignments, cases and exams.
It is a violation of Academic Integrity to utilize information from prior year's
classes in doing homework assignments, cases and exams
group is responsible for allocating the work equitably among its members and
for disciplining free riders.
respect to exams, the work done during the exam must be done without the help of other students. Conversations with second-year students,
alumni, or others about specific assignments or exams before their due-dates
are prohibited.
Assignments: Assignments include regular written
exercises to help students understand course materials, textbook, handouts, and
readings. Late work will generally not be accepted. Please
present your work in a professional fashion. (Some suggestions: Make your
product clear and easy to follow. Answer the question. It is okay to
state the obvious. Be specific. Reread the document before you had it in!)
work: Under appropriate
circumstances students may be given a chance to makeup homework. This privilege
is granted by the instructor under rare and extenuating circumstances. My
advice is to get you work in on time.
Appeals: If you would like to appeal a grade on any
assignment, please submit the assignment with
a written note explaining why you thought the score was unfair. If you
think you have been miss-graded, I will review our grading. When I receive your
re-grade request, I review the grading for the complete assignment. Your grade
may remain unchanged, be lowered or raised as a result of the review.
grades will be based on
cumulative points earned in examinations, cases, and evaluations. To receive a
passing grade, you must receive an overall passing grade on the examination.
o Generally, the first part of each class will be used to go over homework assignments and cases due that day. Typically, much of the rest of each session will combine lectures, illustrations, and discussions of techniques and tools available to aid in decision-making. Finally, the remainder of each session will be used for discussion of new assignments and cases.
o While I do not provide you with a complete assignment outline in the syllabus, you can expect to receive both an individual and a group homework assignment each class. In general, these assignments will be due in the Blackboard Drop Box by a specified time.
o As with most things of value in life, learning requires commitment to hard work. This course is not an exception. In fact, I believe that for many bright and successful individuals learning to use computers may be one of the more difficult tasks that they face. It is not that the material is in reality difficult. The problem seems to be related to two issues. First, you have to invest time in order to master the material. Second, when you are new to computing, or a particular form of computing, you can almost always do it faster without the computer. At times the workload in this class will be heavy. However, I believe that you will not only find the work interesting but also that you will find a long term payoff in terms of the improved quality of your decision making as well as personal productivity.
participation is evaluated subjectively. I value attendance, punctuality,
familiarity with the required readings, and classroom questions or comments
that are relevant and insightful. In general, I evaluate your classroom
participation on the basis of the extent to which you contribute to a positive
and effective learning environment (for yourself and others). Demonstration of
mastery of advanced topics at inappropriate times does not contribute to a
positive learning environment! Correcting me, when I am in error, or asking
what may appear to be a dumb question, does contribute
positively. (Dumb questions are rarely ridiculous. If it is an issue for
you it is likely an issue for many. Asking one can keep the class on track.)
conversations, late arrivals, and early departures, reading the newspaper, and
the like are disruptive. The role of enforcer is one that I neither desire nor
enjoy, so I will count on all of you to uphold and enforce appropriate
standards of classroom conduct. Thank You
Group Homework provides a description of practical situations where mathematical modeling and analysis can play a role. For each case your deliverables will include hardcopy submission of a memo or a PowerPoint presentation along with Electronic Submission of the memo / PowerPoint presentation and an associated Excel files containing relevant models & analysis.
The memo or PowerPoint should address the following (Don't answer the questions that I have suggested, rather use the question to guide preparation of a business presentation)
· Introduction Objective & Question (What is the purpose of the presentation? What are the key issue (s) or Question (s) ?)
· Model setup (What is the nature of the situation? If there are any key assumptions this might be the place to point them out.)
· Analysis Interpretations / Implications (What are your key findings? What does this all mean?)
· Conclusion (Your recommendations? Any limitations)
The Excel file should contain your models and the backup detail of your analysis
· The model
· Analytical calculations and results
· Calculations for interpretations
About cases, I am
frequently asked a question along the following lines, Why did we only get a B
or B+ on this case? After all, we answered the question! My answer tends to
make a distinction between homework assignments and cases. In homework
assignments there is invariably a correct answer, and the grading
considerations are only that you found the correct answer. In cases the answers
are not merely right or wrong. Rather, they can be arrayed along a better to
worse continuum in terms of the extent to which they would add value to the
organization. Better cases tend to push
the interpretations, implications, and conclusions to find ways to add value to
the organization in question. Worse cases tend to do little more than
answer the question.
All students should familiarize themselves with the School's Code of Ethics and Standards of Academic Integrity (MBA Handbook). Unless otherwise specified, cases, papers, and examinations are to be your work and only your work. In other words, you are to be the sole creator of that work (it is to be developed without the assistance of other individuals and without the aid of cases, papers, and examinations from prior semesters). If you are in doubt about the information sources and/or support that may be used, please ask.
Forms of Academic Infractions: For purposes of these policies, procedures, and sanctions, the following actions, carried out knowingly and willingly, are examples of academic dishonesty:
◦ Cheating. Obtaining information from another student or other unauthorized source, or giving information to another student, in connection with an examination or assignment. This includes taking or giving answers during an in-class examination either orally or by copying; collaboration on a take-home examination or assignment where such collaboration is prohibited by the instructor; bringing to and/or using in an examination unauthorized material (books, notes, etc.).
◦ Plagiarism. Copying material from a source or sources and submitting this material as one's own without acknowledging, through specific footnoting and quotation marks, the particular debt to the source. This includes copying material from published sources or unpublished sources (e.g., another student's work). Simply citing a source in the bibliography, without specifying which portions of the submitted paper come from the source, or without specifying that not only ideas but also language is drawn from the source, will not avoid a charge of plagiarism.
◦ Previously Submitted Materials. Submission of material submitted earlier or concurrently, in whole or substantial part, to satisfy the academic requirements of another course, without the express consent of that instructor. The guiding rule is that the student should not try to receive double credit for a piece of work without clearing it with the instructor first.
◦ Falsification of Academic Materials. Fabricating data or other information, forging an instructor's name or initials for any purpose, changing entries in an instructor's record or official University records, taking an examination under another student's name or engaging any person to take an examination under your name, or submitting an assignment of any kind, prepared in whole or part, by any person other than the person responsible for the assignment. This includes using falsified or unauthorized material for registration purposes.
◦ Failing to Fulfill Teamwork Requirements. MBA students are expected to contribute as full members of study teams. Failing to meet commonly accepted team standards includes but is not limited to: not attending team meetings, not completing a fair share of team assignments, and not valuing the contributions of all team members.
All work that you or your team submits in any format must be your own work.
Unless specifically prohibited, you are welcome to seek advice and assistance
on the exercises and cases from anyone inside or outside of the class, but the
final submitted product must have been created by you or your team, as
specified. Procurement, distribution, or acceptance in advance of examinations,
examination answers, or any confidential materials without prior and expressed
consent of the instructor is strictly prohibited.

By James Slater: So far as I know, there has been no official announcement yet, but some web sites are suggesting WBA lightweight champ Brandon Rios will defend against British contender Kevin Mitchell on the November 12th Manny Pacquiao-Juan Manuel Marquez III card in Las Vegas. Supersport.com has the fight as a go in their news section and Rios is down on Boxrec.com as facing a TBA on Nov. 12th - could the internet chatter be true and Mighty Mitchell is indeed in line for the biggest fight of his career? Certainly, the fight if it happens, will add extra value for money to the big show at The MGM Grand. Rios, known as Bam Bam, is not only one of the most exciting fighters out there today, he is also a young warrior who is being groomed for superstardom. Promoter Bob Arum has big long-term plans for the 25-year-old from Oxnard; including a possible mega-fight with Pac-Man somewhere down the road. It goes without saying how Mitchell would ruin a lot of plans if he were to upset Rios in November. 26-year-old Mitchell, 32-1(24) was talking about how hed love a fight with the reigning WBA 135-pound champ even before he turned his career around with a sizzling stoppage win over domestic rival John Murray. In fact, both Brits were talking about the prospect of facing Rios. Mitchell, back on top as he is now after getting over losing his unbeaten record to Michael Katsidis last May, could now be on the verge of actually rumbling with the red-hot lightweight ruler. Mitchell, who can box and bang, saw his position in the rankings go up some courtesy of the win over Murray and he is certainly a world class operator. Rios, as rough and tough as he is, could possibly have some trouble with Mitchells boxing savvy in the fight (if it happens) - IF Mitchell can keep his head, that is. Fans are aware of how Mitchell went to pieces in his 3rd-round loss to Katsidis, and it seemed the size of the event got to him. The critics will disagree with me when I say Mitchell is world class, and they will point to his sole loss as proof. And maybe the sheer size of a Rios challenge would get to Mitchell also. Then again, Mitchells mature and impressive points win over the dangerous Bredis Prescott from December 2009 showed he can handle pressure, and if the Londoner can stick to his game-plan and fight Rios in a similar fashion, who knows? Put it this way: this match-up, if it does go ahead, will not result in a boring encounter, one way or the other. Rios is on a roll and really looking unstoppable right now. Mitchell has regained his confidence and is arguably coming off the best win of his career. Both guys are young and hungry, and both can punch. So, even if you feel the potential clash is no biggie, it has to be conceded that, at the very least, the prospective fight would make a great supporting bout to the main event of Pac-Man-Marquez III.

Thermodynamics of protonation and sodium binding of sulfate in concentrated NaCl and CsCl solutions studied by Raman spectroscopy
Kratsis, S., Hefter, G., May, P.M. and Sipos, P. (2000) Thermodynamics of protonation and sodium binding of sulfate in concentrated NaCl and CsCl solutions studied by Raman spectroscopy. Australian Journal of Chemistry, 53 (5). pp. 363-367.
*Subscription may be required
The protonation constant (pKa) of SO42-(aq) has been determined at ionic strengths 0.5 M ≤ I ≤ 4.0 M in NaCl and CsCl media at 25°C by using Raman spectroscopy. These data were used to calculate the association constant of the NaSO4- (aq) ion pair in CsCl media. The results are in excellent agreement with previous values obtained by other techniques. The pKa was also measured at I = 4 M in both media at temperatures up to 85°C and the associated enthalpy and entropy changes were calculated. However, reliable thermodynamic data for the ion-pairing reaction could not be obtained at higher temperatures probably because of competition from CsSO4-(aq).

News Release June 28, 2002 |
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Duke Energy tackled more than 300 volunteer projects around the world during the month of June as part of the company's Global Service Event. "More than 6,000 employees and retirees participated in this year's Global Service Event, enriching more than 100 communities in five countries," said Richard B. Priory, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Duke Energy. "We are a company who cares, and this month our caring was put to work around the globe." Although the roots of Duke Energy go back almost 100 years, the Global Service Event is a month-long celebration that commemorates the naming of Duke Energy in 1997 after the merger of Duke Power Co. and PanEnergy Corp. The Global Service Event was created to bring employees of both companies together to improve the communities where the company operates. Every June for the past five years, the event has grown enormously. The projects range from tutoring basic computer skills in
The Global Service Event compliments the year-round volunteerism at Duke Energy. Each year employees have access to $250,000 in Duke Energy Foundation funds for materials used in volunteer projects. Employees attend classes to learn how to be better board members for nonprofits. Nonprofits that want to reach Duke Energy employees who might volunteer should go to www.VolunteerMatch.com, and register their opportunities. Duke Energy is a diversified multinational energy company with an integrated network of energy assets and expertise. The company manages a dynamic portfolio of natural gas and electric supply, delivery and trading businesses – meeting the energy needs of customers throughout

LHR Sporting Arms® Redemption™ .50 Cal. Black Powder Rifle, Camo / Armornite
Item # WX2-583298
- Google+
- Details & Specs
LHR Sporting Arms® RedemptionTM .50 Cal. Black Powder Rifle is a serious hunting muzzleloader. DISCOUNT PRICE!
Premium Cloverleaf Barrel from Green Mountain Rifle Barrels®, innovative low-clearance Stealth Striker system, and clean, crisp FT2TM trigger come together with 80 years of LHR Sporting Arms® excellence to deliver unmatched performance for a price that won't leave the modern black powder shooter out in the cold.
Check out the "tech" behind this old-fashioned powerhouse:- Adapt Breech System is the first of its kind. The 209 primer adapter eliminates the need for threading inside the barrel which is the leading cause of seizing breech plugs. Adapt also allows you the ability to change out your 209 primer adapter to different configurations. This will optimize ignition performance with your propellant of choice.
- Armornite Corrosion Protectant - Most protective coatings on the market protect the outside of your rifle but what do they do for the inside? Armornite is a nitride protectant that covers and protects every inch of the barrel and critical components. This gives you protection and accuracy that's built for a lifetime, not for a season.
- Stealth Striker - Hammers are noisy and hard to reach with a scope. The innovative Stealth Striker system is quiet, easy to use and gives the best clearance for scopes. Slide it forward until it locks and shoot, that's it! No more fumbling to take your hands out of your gloves. The Stealth Striker also has an easy-to-use decocking button in the event you choose not to shoot.
- Cloverleaf Barrels by Green Mountain Rifle Barrels are accurate out of the box and our Armornite coating protects the internal bore from long term damage that affects accuracy. Each Cloverleaf Barrel is carefully inspected to meet our exact standards and gives you the peace of mind your rifle will be ready to perform.
- FT2 Match Trigger - Crisp, consistent and light are crucial and essential to your accuracy. The FT2 Match Trigger is just that, its light pull and zero overtravel will make you a better, more confident shooter.
- Innovative Multi-Tool - The Redemption rifle includes the innovative Multi-Tool, the first tool included with a rifle that is not only a wrench, but also a cleaning and loading tool.
- Tool-free Barrel Removal for easy cleaning.
- Williams Fiber Optic Metal Sights for low-light conditions.
- Forend Takedown Screw doubles as a sling swivel stud.
- Barrel length: 24"

North Korea Drives Space Program Forward - Report
Increased activitiy in one of North Korea's space launch pads suggests future tests with larger rockets, according to a US analyst institute.
According to the US-Korea Institute at the Johns Hopkins University, there has been great progress in the Tonghae space center since October 2012.
Referring to satellite images, the institute says it suspects that technology from Iran might have contributed to the progress, as the design of units resembles that at an Iranian facility.
According to the North 38 website as quoted by the BBC, North Korea continues building a new pad to launch rockets significantly larger than the Unha-3 launched in December 2012.
The official goal of the rocket was to launch an observation satellite, but countries such as the US have feared that Pyongyang is really developing long-range ballistic missiles.

Buddy Roemer ends presidential bid
By Aaron Blake,
Former Louisiana governor Buddy Roemer has ended his presidential campaign,during which he sought the nominations of the Republican Party, Reform Party and the aborted bipartisan group Americans Elect.
In an interview with The Fix, Roemer said he has simply run out of options.
"Our strategy was a 50-ballot approach, trying to generate enough interest in reform to get to a 15 percent national poll standing, which would put you in the fall debates," Roemer said. "But the failure of Americans Elect and our inability to achieve the nomination really took away our last chance of ballot access."
In this March 3, 2012 file photo, former Louisiana governor Charles "Buddy" Roemer gestures during a news conference in Baton Rouge, La. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert, File)
Roemer's campaign was notable (and doomed) because it didn't accept donations over $100 and didn't accept money from political action committees.
But, in large part because of the lack of funds, Roemer never caught on in the polls and was never invited to a Republican debate.
After a few GOP primaries, Roemer switched to the independent route and said he would seek the Americans Elect and Reform Party nominations. But nobody received enough support to get the Americans Elect nomination, and the Reform Party won't be on the ballot in every state.
Roemer said he is foregoing his presidential bid to start an organization to fight against the influence of special interests.
"For the first time in my life, I'm saying publicly that I will spend a good portion of the remainder of my life pushing for, building for, searching for reform that will change the control of policy in this country," Roemer said.
Roemer served for seven years in the U.S. House before being elected governor in 1987. He lost his reelection bid to former governor Edwin Edwards in 1991, a race in which Edwards ran on the slogan "Vote for the crook. It's important." (Former KKK leader David Duke was also in the race.)

The carrier transition rates and subband populations for a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum cascade laser operating in the mid-infrared frequency range are calculated by solving the rate equations describing the electron densities in each subband self-consistently. These calculations are repeated for a range of temperatures from 20 to 300 K. The lifetime of the upper laser level found by this self-consistent method is then used to calculate the gain for this range of temperatures. At a temperature of 77 K, the gain of the laser is found to be 34 cm(-1)/(kA/cm(-2)), when only electron–longitudinal-optical phonon transitions are considered in the calculation. The calculated gain decreases to 19.6 cm(-1)/(kA/cm(-2)) when electron–electron transition rates are included, thus showing their importance in physical models of these devices. Further analysis shows that thermionic emission could be occurring in real devices. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

Like schools in Britain and other English speaking countries, those in the U.S have also always stressed
"character" or "social skills" through extracular activities, including organized sports. Because most schools start at
around 8 o'clock every morning and classes often do not finish until 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, such activities
mean that many students do not return home until the early evening. There is usually a very broad range of
extracurricular activities available. Most schools, for instance, publish their own student newspapers, and some have
their own radio stations. Almost all have student orchestras, bands, and choirs.
Many different spots are also available and most schools share their facilities – swimming pools, tennis courts,
tracks, and stadiums – with the public. Often the students themselves organize and support school activities and raise
money through car washes, baby – sitting, or by mowing lawns. Parents and local business often also help a group
that, for example, has a chance to go to a state music competition, to compete in some sports championship, or take a
camping trip. Such activities not only give pupils a chance to be together outside of normal classes, they also help
develop a feeling of "school spirit" among the students and in the community.
36 How many hours a day do the children stay at school?
A. two B. five C. eight D. twelve
37 ___________ is mentioned as an extracurricular school activity.
A. Watching TV B. singing in a choir C. Helping old people D. Selling lottery tickets
38 ___________ is mentioned in the text as one of the school sport facilities.
A. Flying the kites B. Tug-of-war C. Playground D. Stadiums
39 ___________ is one of the activities the students often do to raise money.
A. Looking after a baby B. Repairing C. Selling newspapers D. Selling lawn movers
40 _________ is not one of the activities which parents and local business often help the students.
A. Having a camping trip. B. Playing in the sport competition
C. Working in a TV station D. Performing at a state music competition.

If you haven't noticed yet, I love having themes for my weekdays (hence my post last night). I haven't really found anything for Friday's, but my friend Kameron gave me the idea for Flashback Friday - I figured I would add to that - make it a photo flashback (I'm sure you have also noticed that I love posting pics too)
Hiking Mt Manadnock (N.H) July 2005 This was a great camping trip with some friends we had just made. Just 3 weeks following our honeymoon, it was a great relaxing trip.
Well maybe the camping was relaxing - the hiking was intense
Funny thing is though, I had hiked this mountain many times as a child/teen
This was my first time hiking it in many many years
You can't really see in these pictures
We were exhausted
But it was wonderful
Oh and my friend in this pic (in the middle) was 3 months pregnant when we hiked up the mountain - she was the first one up - put us all to shame (she is the mommy of Tommy's girlfriend Caitlin)

Also, when employees of a compaany use their domain email address for social media sites like LinkedIn and Google+ they show those sites they are officially part of that company. As the brand grows on their networks they will gain authority in their customers and followers eyes and so will the brand, together with all email addresses associated with it.
Part of a company creating an online presence is about letting customers know where they are physically located (provided they are not solely an online business). As such the address should be displayed on the company website and shared with Google via Google+ and Google Places. LinkedIn is also good for establishing a company's physical location.
The more a company's physical location is made available, the more customers can trust that brand.
Gollan's website provides a host of online marketing tips and advice as well as general business coaching information. It can be found here.

"...This isn't anymore about closed vs. open formats, and you don't need me to rub it in your face. It's time to leave those non-free formats behind and look forward for a world of interoperability, a world of doors free to trespass in whatever way you want, and where no one will be able to take that freedom away from anyone else."

Vital organ: NY transplant and Denver mainstay Pat Bianchi releases a new CD October 15 at Dazzle
After hearing Joey DeFrancesco's Live at the Five Spot, a sixteen-year-old Pat Bianchi, who had already been playing organ and piano for about nine years, knew he wanted to play jazz organ. After graduating from the Berklee College of Music in the late '90s, the 21-year-old Bianchi moved to Denver to start a residency four nights a week as the house pianist at El Chapultepec, which was followed by five-year stint at Herb's, where he played jazz organ on a weekly basis.
Bianchi eventually got to tour and record with DeFrancesco, who's hailed as the finest organist in the world, and Bianchi appears on DeFrancesco's latest effort, Never Can Say Goodbye: The Music of Michael Jackson. Since moving to New York City about two and a half years ago, Bianchi, a Rochester native, has worked with legendary jazz players like Lou Donaldson, George Coleman and Houston Person. We spoke to Bianchi about his outstanding new album, Back Home, his followup to his critically acclaimed 2006 recording, East Coast Roots.
Westword: How did you go about picking songs for Back Home? You've got John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman and Wayne Shorter. What was it about those tunes that made you want to record them?
Pat Bianchi: A lot of those tunes I've always really liked. Some of them I've played when I was playing piano; other ones, it's just cats I listen to. I love Ornette. I love Chick Corea and Trane, obviously. So it was combinations of those things. In specific, another aspect I've always been trying to address in my recordings is that going back, when you think of Hammond organ in the jazz context, you think of feel-good soul jazz, boogaloo groove kind of stuff, kind of funky stuff, or churchy soulful shuffles and things like that.
You don't hear a lot of drawing from other elements of jazz on that instrument in particular. You will from Larry Goldings, to a degree, and Joey DeFrancesco, for sure. But probably 80 percent to 85 percent of everybody out there who's doing organ records, it's based off the formula that has worked for so long. So for me, [it's about] picking tunes I like and picking things that are a challenge for the instrument and that are not always associated with the instrument.
What would you say you've learned from Joey DeFrancesco?
Oh, man, there are so many different things. Just the playing aspect and being able to do a multitude of different things stylistically. Playing with Lou Donaldson is one kind of thing, one kind of bag, but then being able to fit into playing with George Coleman — or next month, I'll be playing with Gary Bartz — and just really be able to be authentic and hang with the vocabularies of the other things going on.
